"You smell like blood."

Zhu Jiangjiang fell to the ground, raised a hand, and gently pushed him away.

Pei Ji looked down at himself.

There was no blood on his body, and from the beginning to the end, he did not do anything.

She said that he smelled of blood, probably because of the psychological effect.

"My lady." Pei Ji also sat on the ground, two steps away from her, and then continued to speak: "Do you know what happened first when I brought someone there just now?"

"They rushed towards us recklessly with their knives in hand, and a young general was killed immediately. Do you think I should show mercy at that time?"

He firmly believed that Zhu Jiangjiang was a sensible and reasonable person, so he told her this, but he didn't want to let her think wildly.

In the end, just think of him as a villain.

Just two simple sentences made Zhu Jiangjiang calm down.

She began to feel a little thankful that she didn't rush forward to stop them just now.

In that case, I would be sorry for the soldier who died, and it would also ruin Pei Ji's prestige in front of the soldiers, and it would also make her look like a holy mother.

She has seen and been frightened by how many stab wounds and arrow wounds Pei Ji had.

She has no right to meddle in his affairs.

She is now like this, just because she saw it with her own eyes and was not mentally prepared, so she felt uncomfortable.

This incident completely made Zhu Jiangjiang understand who he was marrying and who was lying next to him.

Pei Ji went from being an unknown soldier to where he is today step by step. I'm afraid even he himself can't count how much blood was on his hands.

Could she blame him for that?

She can't.

If it weren't for him, she and Pei Xiaoyu would have become blood on the hands of others.

I wish Jiangjiang to calm down completely. The river in front of him has become pitch black with the fall of night, and only the smell of sludge in the water can be smelled.

She moved to Pei Ji's side, took his arm, rested her head on his shoulder, and said nothing.

She convinced herself, but it was Pei Ji who felt a lot more stressed.

Ever since Zhu Jiangjiang said that he smelled of blood, he kept pawing at the dirt on the ground, holding it in his hand, and rubbing it quietly.

He wanted to use dirt to rub the blood off his hands.

At this moment, his hands were already covered with a thick layer of mud.

It was also when Zhu Jiangjiang took his arm that he realized that he had been "washing his hands" with mud with his head down. This frightened and cautious move instantly made her eyes blush.

She dragged him up and led him to the river.

Press his hands into the water, one finger at a time, to help him wash himself.

Pei Ji let her hold his hand and soak it in the cold river water, while his eyes stayed on her face.

In the night, he couldn't see her expression clearly, "Miss, aren't you afraid of me?"

Zhu Jiangjiang paused for a while, and then forced one of his fingers back. The pain caused him to grin his teeth, and then asked him, "Am I fierce?"

She dared to break his fingers, and dared to talk to him in such a joking tone, Pei Ji knew that she must have figured it out.

"Well, very fierce." He replied with a smile.

"Then are you afraid of me?" she asked again.

Pei Ji shook his head, hurriedly washed his hands, got up, and pulled her into his arms.

He rested his head heavily on her shoulder, "Miss, don't be afraid of me, okay, I'm not afraid."

He still minded the fact that she was afraid of him.

Zhu Jiangjiang responded to his hug and said softly, "Okay."

She may not be able to eat or sleep tonight, but she will try her best to adapt to everything about Pei Ji.

In Xiaohuang Village before, she really lived too comfortably.

It was always Pei Ji who blended into her world and her rhythm, but she never got to know everything about him.

When they went out together this time, she began to slowly understand that the world was not as comfortable and beautiful as she saw from his perspective.

This night, Zhu Jiangjiang stayed by the river and did not go back.

Pei Ji stayed with her by the river all night.

She didn't ask what happened after that incident, and Xu Gu and the others didn't tell her specifically, it's just that there were more horses in their team at dawn.

And the foot of the mountain over there is the same as what I saw yesterday, only a piece of white stone, nothing.

……

Time is the cure for everything, especially for a heartless person like Zhu Jiangjiang.

After entering Xiaoxi Prefecture, Zhu Jiangjiang completely let go.

"Prince Xu, where is your mine? Where is the mine?" She was eager to know what it was like to have a mine at home.

When they arrived in Xiaoxizhou, Xu Gu and Xu You began to ride horses.

The mountains in Xiaoxi Prefecture are different from those in Dali Dynasty.

The mountains in the Dali Dynasty were full of trees and rocks, and horses couldn't climb them at all.

But the mountains in Xiaoxi Prefecture are different. It belongs to the combination of mountains and basins. It is a large area, continuous, and there are no stones.

At a glance, it is full of green land and lakes, this is simply an oasis!

In such a place, the mine cannot be seen.

"The mine is not here, here are mainly basins and lakes." Returning to his familiar hometown, Xu Gu was very happy.

In this vast land, he can gallop his horse as much as he likes without worrying about stone mountains blocking him.

Zhu Jiangjiang didn't hold back either, and swung his whip vigorously, having fun on this flat land.

In winter, the ice and snow in the mountains in the distance melted, forming rivers and lakes, and the temperature was lower than that in Dali Dynasty. Her face soon turned red from the cold.

"Then how long will it take for us to reach your capital?" She ran back again and shouted at Xu Gu.

It's really windy here, there's no need to shout, he's afraid he won't be able to hear her voice.

"There are still six or seven days to go before we arrive at Mudu in Xiaoxi Prefecture. Miss Zhu, please come here." Xu You replied instead, and pointed her in the direction by the way.

People who have never been to their Xiaoxi Province can easily get lost in this large grassland, and no one can take them with them.

"it is good!"

Seeing this large grassland and the completely different scenery from Dali Dynasty, Zhu Jiangjiang couldn't hide his excitement, so he couldn't hold back his joy.

After crossing the great meadow, they walked for a long time before they saw a town.

The towns in Xiaoxizhou give people the feeling of the Western Regions mentioned in martial arts dramas, and their Dali Dynasty is the Central Plains.

Here, Xiaoxizhou has their own exclusive clothing, they rarely wear gauze skirts, and fur products can be seen everywhere on their bodies.

Hats, collars, cuffs, and some are directly covered with fur, which looks heavy and rough.

People in Xiaoxizhou have another characteristic, that is, their skin is red.

Their faces have been exposed to the wind and the sun all year round. As long as the weather is cold, their faces tend to turn red, dry and rough.
