After eight months of vegetarianism, Lu Yiming finally had his fill.

After calling for water to clean up, Lu Yiming picked up the ointment and applied it to him. Pei Xing's legs had lost all feeling and seemed to be paralyzed. He opened the opponent's weak legs. As soon as Lu Yiming's hand touched the opponent's exposed skin, a sound came from above his head. Unconsciously murmuring:

"No more...husband..."

Lu Yiming's breathing stagnated, looking at the body of his subordinates that had been destroyed by him, and he relaxed his movements again.

His other hand gently soothed the other person's little head that was about to wake up, and whispered softly: "Good boy, sleep a little longer." The

slow and gentle movements did not wake up the person who was already tired enough to fall asleep. Lu Yiming dressed up for his husband, then got up and walked out.

He still felt refreshed after not sleeping all night. Since it was already dawn, he had no intention of going back to sleep. Instead, he got up to do morning exercises. Since Xiaoxing became pregnant, he had relaxed a lot.

He hasn't exercised for a long time, and he is a little rusty.

[Is the master worried about things in the capital? 】

The set Lu Yiming practiced was not the simple defensive skills he taught Xiao Xingxing, but the killing moves he had figured out by himself when killing zombies.

[Well, although the teacher didn't explain it in detail, I'm still a little worried. I'm afraid it won't be that simple to go to the capital this time. 】

There is no news from the teacher and Gu Huan. Song Qing is staying behind closed doors. Even the atmosphere in Jiangzhou City has been different from the past recently. There is always an illusion that a storm is coming.

[I hope I'm overthinking it. 】

Lu Yiming got up early, and Pei Xing slept until midnight again. No one asked him to get up, so he woke up naturally.

"Hiss--"

Pei Xing just moved his lower body, and the feeling of soreness suddenly came over him. After resting for a long time, he took a breath, looked at the bright light outside the window, and decided to get up.

He supported his upper body with both hands, but his waist couldn't use any strength. He tried three times but couldn't get up from the bed.

Lying back on the bed, his eyes were distracted. Thinking of everything yesterday, he still felt that his husband had gone too far.

The last time he called for water, he had a vague memory. He originally thought he could fall asleep in his husband's arms, but unexpectedly, his husband came again in the water, and it was really until dawn... Pei Xing took a deep

breath, but he really didn't have the strength. After getting up, he called out aggrievedly: "Husband."

His indulgence hurt his body, and now his whole body was weak and weak. If he had known better, he should not have let his husband do what he did.

As soon as Lu Yiming entered the door, he saw Pei Xing's eyes open blankly. When he saw him coming in, he looked like he had no desire and no desire. He touched his nose and felt a little guilty for no reason.

"Are you awake? I'll get you some food."

"This is against the rules. I have to get up."

Seeing the person struggling to get up, Lu Yiming stepped forward and supported the person's back to sit up from the bed.

Perhaps due to the action of standing up three times before, Pei Xing's single clothes slipped from his shoulders, revealing the mottled marks left by Lu Yiming yesterday on his body, with patches of blue and purple, which was shocking to see.

Lu Yiming's eyes lingered on his shoulders for a moment, and he tied the belt again for him.

He was actually a little annoyed. He went too far yesterday. He forgot to input the power for Little Xingxing. He guessed that Little Xingxing's whole body was extremely sore now, but when he thought that it was his own achievement, he seemed to feel some secret joy.

However, he was concerned about the other person's health, so he used the massage time to treat him.

The two of them had been in the room for a while when the voice of the attendant outside the door rang out: "Master, young husband, it's time to have dinner."

The servants didn't come in. Lu Yiming usually did things like bathing and dressing with his own hands. It was strange that he wasn't used to it. Secondly, the main reason is that I don't want others to see my husband's red face, not even the young man, let alone the maid.

At this moment, when Little Xingxing stood up, Lu Yiming dressed him up, covering up the marks on his body bit by bit, and then tied up his hair with a hairpin.

"Bring the necessary things with you. We can buy the rest after we arrive in the capital. We will set off on the third day of November. This time is enough for us to prepare."

Lu Yiming said while peeling the eggs for Pei Xing, "If Dad wants to I will write a letter during the Chinese New Year in the border town. My mother, Xiaoxing, and I will stay in the capital for a while. If everything goes well, we will return after the spring of next year." "

Yiming must be careful in the capital. If he meets an enemy of the Lu family, Don't act impulsively."

This is a tricky thing, but the enemy is hidden and we are clear, but: "For the time being, the Lu family's troubles can't be burned on us. Unless you are someone who has met your father and mother, it will be difficult to follow the clues and find out. Our life experience."

Having not set foot in the capital for more than 20 years, many people may have thought that he had died outside long ago. His name was not even on the Lu family's genealogy, and they just regarded him as a dead person.

Thinking of this, Lu's father sighed, and reminded him uneasily: "It's better to be careful."

When Lu Yiming saw Pei Xing finishing the porridge in his bowl, he ordered people to remove the leftovers from the table and sent the others away. .

When there were only Lu family members around, he looked at the housekeeper and asked bluntly: "Who does the Lu family owe their allegiance to?" The

housekeeper's back stiffened. This matter had not been mentioned before. Firstly, Lu Yiming did not need to involve it, and secondly, he was afraid The walls have ears, and they are afraid of being caught.

Now Lu Yiming is going to the capital. Although it is a wine tribute matter and has no direct connection with the imperial party, Lu Yiming is apprenticed and should leave. If he goes to the capital, he will definitely be involved. Now that he is hiding it, he will easily be instigated by people in the dark.

The housekeeper wanted to understand the stakes and drew three horizontal lines on the table with water.

"The Lu family has been framed. Does Mr. Lu have any suspects?"

"Before, except for..." the housekeeper glanced at Mother Lu, then lowered his head, "I have not made any enmity with others, and I have sent a gullible person to contact the third prince secretly. If The other princes want to take revenge on the third prince, so they shouldn't know Master Lu's identity."

The butler obviously lowered his voice when talking about the third prince, and some people were afraid of him.

"But I once heard Mr. Lu say something in the study, 'It's not the old guy's fault to frame someone up.'" Mother Lu, who had been

silent all this time, rarely made a rebuttal: "My father is not such a person."

Lu Yiming followed the housekeeper's gaze and looked at Mother Lu, thinking to himself. Mr. Lu probably didn't know who was avenging him. On the surface, it was Mother Lu's natal family, but secretly it was the princes who were suspected. Since the Lu family supports The third prince, the eldest prince who was the most powerful in fighting against the third prince, was the most suspect.

Officials and businessmen also don't know how many people will line up after the list of local tributes comes out and the call to Beijing.

Pei Xing's hand quietly covered the back of Lu Yiming's hand. The latter felt a warmth on the back of his hand. He looked at the owner of the hand and squeezed it with his backhand to signal that he was fine.

The soreness in his body decreased, but sleepiness set in. Pei Xing didn't last long after the meal. He rarely went to visit Xiao Yu, so he returned to the inner room and lay back on the bed.

However, this kind of sleepiness disappeared after lying on the bed, as if it was an illusion just now.

Seeing that the man had black bags under his eyes but could not sleep, Lu Yiming luckily took off his clothes and lay on the bed with him.

"Husband, what are you doing?"

After what happened yesterday, he couldn't help but take a step back when he thought of what happened in the morning, his eyes wary.

Lu Yiming ignored his actions, stretched out his arms to hug him, and patted him on the back with his eyes closed. Then he leaned close to his ear and whispered softly: "Didn't you say you wanted to hear a story yesterday? It's a good opportunity to tell it to me. My little star baby listens."

Little star baby? !

He is not a little corn!

Pei Xing's face turned red instantly. If it hadn't been for this incident yesterday, how could he have been bullied so badly? Now that the old incident was brought up again, his shame instantly exploded.

He actually became jealous because his husband told Little Corn a story!

No need to think about it, Lu Yiming knew what his husband was thinking. He stared at the other man's ears that were red with shame, and continued teasing happily: "So, do you want to hear "The Domineering President Falls in Love with Me" or "The Overbearing President Falls in Love with Me"?" "Sweet little wife running with the ball"?"

...

On the third day of November, a crowd of people gathered in front of the government office.

There were about thirty local tributes distributed to Jiangzhou Prefecture, including Luo Niang Embroidery, Jiangzhou Baomi, Jiangzhou White Porcelain, etc. Star Picking Wine was the only wine selected by Jiangzhou Prefecture. categories, and the rest more or less have two or three repeating categories.

There are about thirty places, and there are more than thirty people going to the capital. For example, Lu Yiming and his family have ten people including their servants.

There were quite a few of them, with quite a few families and families, and many of them even brought their concubines. Each carriage was more luxurious than the last, and they carried no less than three boxes in the back.

"It won't take a month to get there, right?" Pei Xing said softly while holding Xiao Yu.

Before Lu Yiming could answer, the people from the yamen knocked the gong twice and announced loudly: "All merchants going to the capital must not bring more than ten people, and they must not bring more than two carriages."

A man with a plump belly said The merchant burst into laughter and asked in a kind tone: "Sir, last year there were not all restrictions, why this year..." The

yamen servant who just spoke up sounded the gong again, and his tone and attitude towards him was not bad: "We don't have enough people to escort you to Beijing this time. If there are too many people and things, it won't be convenient for you to protect your

safety." Although they are following the official route, there is no chance that someone will be bold enough to come and provoke them. If they don't have enough people, they should be more demanding. Can also cooperate.

After all, life is more important than these dead things.

When everyone heard that this was the reason, they all trembled and arranged the personnel around them, re-selecting the personnel and the necessary items. Many wives and children were left behind, but the concubines and servants were taken with them.

Lu Yiming and the others did not need to reorganize. They did not bring many people with them, and the items were kept simple and usable. Many of them were small corn items. The adults did not care, so they only pulled a cargo carriage.

The long team set off, and the huge formation attracted many pedestrians and vendors to watch, as if they were sending them out of the city to fight.

It was also the first time for Pei Xing to see such a huge formation. He opened a corner of the curtain and secretly looked outside. At the end, he muttered: "It turns out that this is how we see off the adults when they go out."

Lu Yiming glanced at it and looked away. They hired three people-carriages, and Little Corn, Father and Mother Lu were sitting in another car. This carriage only had the two of them for the time being.

"If you are tired, just lean on my legs and sleep for a while. There is no waterway this time. I'm afraid your butt will hurt when you bump."

This carriage is quite spacious, and it will be no problem when lying down.

When these words came out of Lu Yiming's mouth, Pei Xing didn't know what he thought of. He blushed and looked out the window and ignored him. Lu Yiming just thought he was attracted by the formation outside and said nothing more.

After leaving the city gate, they could only hear the sound of carriages moving. There were no people around and it was much quieter.

As night fell, there were no inns along the road, so the escort found an open space to stop and rest.

People who had been huddled in the carriage all day got off one after another. Fires were lit in many places. The Lu family gathered around a fire, waiting for Lu Yiming's mushroom and fish soup to be cooked.

"It smells so good, why don't you have a bowl?"

A somewhat familiar voice interrupted them. Lu Yiming looked up and saw a man wearing a guard uniform. The person's outlines were clear when reflected by the fire. Although the fat on his face had been reduced, Lu Yiming recognized him at first sight: "Long time no see."

Fatty Song smiled, but he didn't look as careless as before.

Lu Yiming made a place for him. When he saw someone sitting down, he asked puzzledly: "Why are you in the escort?"

Isn't this man a martial arts student? If he remembered correctly, this was the results release stage for the provincial examination, and this person should not have appeared here.

"I didn't take part in the provincial examination. I was thrown into the military camp by my father and have been training there. I came out this time because the city guard transferred a group of people from the military camp in Jiangzhou Prefecture to be guards, and I happened to be selected. "

He lowered his voice and pointed at the head of the carriage team, and pursed his lips: "The person who made a bet with you is also there."

Lu Yiming followed his line of sight and looked over, just in time to catch the other person's line of sight, and raised his eyebrows.

He naturally looked away, just as the fish soup was boiling, he stopped talking.

They didn't travel at night on the first night. Pei Xing didn't catch up on his usual sleep in the afternoon. He leaned against Lu Yiming on the carriage and soon yawned again and again, looking sleepy.

Lu Yiming spread out the folding cushions on the carriage, unfolded the prepared quilt, and lay down with the person in his arms: "If you feel sleepy, just sleep."

Pei Xing fell asleep in the familiar arms after a while. Lu Yiming outlined this scene with his eyes. With a quiet face, sleep gradually came over him.

Rustling -

the regular sound made Lu Yiming's relaxed nerves tense up instantly. He opened his eyes and released the seedlings, while he held his breath, slowly sat up, and opened a corner of the curtain to look outside.

His eyes that were different from ordinary people stared into the distance. The dark night could not take away his sight. The shadows shaking among the trees in the distance were the source of the sound. There was no moonlight today on the third day of the lunar month, but he could still clearly see these foggy people. The person facing him held a cold knife with a cold sheen in his hand.

I have watched some TV dramas before, and this situation is very similar to that dark, windy, murderous night.

He just looked at each other quietly in the dark. It wasn't until the group of people emerged through the woods in the distance that his eyes narrowed dangerously. The direction of the group's movement...

It was their carriage
