C1372

Looking at the lush green crops on both sides and smelling the fresh grass fragrance in the air, Tang Yin and Ling Shuang felt refreshed.

It was almost noon and the scorching sun was getting stronger and stronger above her head. Ling Shuang, who was riding on her horse, was already sweating profusely. She turned her head and said to Tang Yin: "Royal Brother, if only I could drink a cup of cold tea now."

When marching, it was simple and light, but where was there cold tea in the army? Tang Yin said with a smile: "Sister Wang, please bear with it. You have obtained the city ahead of us, there will be good tea and good food for us."

Although Ling Shuang's identity was high, she was still a woman, and a young lady at that. Of course she had the delicate aura of a woman, but it was just that due to her identity, she could not act coquettishly towards others. However, in front of Tang Yin, she could show her coquettish side without any reservations. She pouted in dissatisfaction, "It's still a long walk to the city, I just want some cold tea right now!"

Tang Yin sighed helplessly. Could it be that he was supposed to make a cold tea now?

Just as he was thinking of how to deal with Ling Shuang, the latter suddenly extended her hand out and grabbed Tang Yin's arm. As he shook it, he said: "Royal Brother, look, there is a house over there.

Following the direction that Ling Shuang was looking, Tang Yin looked over. At the middle end of the paddy field, there really was a thatched hut. It was not very big, it seemed like it was used by nearby farmers to look at the crops. Tang Yin thought for a while, shook her head and said, "It's better not to go, it's better to avoid trouble."

Ling Shuang was amused. She looked at him and asked: "What will happen? Royal Brother is too careful! "

It was not because Tang Yin was being careful, but because his past experience had told him that danger was everywhere and there were too many people who wanted him dead in a place like this. Without waiting for him to speak, Ling Shuang had already led his horse towards the thatched cottage.

Worried about Ling Shuang's safety, Tang Yin could only urge his horse to follow. Seeing the two of them suddenly change their direction, both Feng Yu's armies stopped and at the same time, all the guards from the two countries hurriedly followed.

Seeing that a large group of people had caught up from behind, Ling Shuang reined them in and said to the guards, "You guys can go back now. Royal Brother and I are only going to rest.

Actually, Ling Shuang did not have to rest in that shabby thatched cottage, she mainly wanted to enjoy the world of the two with Tang Yin. Along the way, there were too many guards and soldiers surrounding them, and it would be difficult for the two of them to find a chance to talk alone.

Hearing Ling Shuang's words, all the guards were stunned, and then looked at Tang Yin in unison. The latter nodded his head slightly, indicating everyone to follow Ling Shuang's instructions.

Seeing that Tang Yin had also nodded his head, the guards all retreated, leaving only Ah San, Ah Si and Ling Shuang's close Female Guard.

Tang Yin and Ling Shuang were in the front, while Ah San and the rest followed behind them at a distance, following the small path in the fields, to the thatched cottage that was not far away.

While walking, Ling Shuang was enjoying the beautiful scenery of the fields around him. She could not help but say to Tang Yin: "Royal Brother, the countryside here is so beautiful!"

He was amused. It was almost always the same in the countryside. But as he looked at Ling Shuang's energetic and energetic appearance, Tang Yin also praised out loud, "She's really beautiful!" However, he was not praising the surrounding fields, but praising Ling Shuang.

Seeing Tang Yin looking straight at his as he spoke, Ling Shuang's jade face turned slightly red, but his heart felt sweet. Soon, they arrived at the thatched cottage. Before the two of them dismounted from their horses and entered, they heard the sound of the door being closed.

Tang Yin and Ling Shuang looked at each other and laughed at the same time. Tang Yin got down from the horse first, and then very elegantly helped Ling Shuang down.

The thatched cottage was completely silent. Not even a single person responded. Tang Yin frowned, there was clearly someone inside, why did he knock on the door, and not say a word! At this time, Ling Shuang also walked over and asked: "Is there anyone inside?"

After waiting for a while, but no one responded, Ling Shuang said to Tang Yin in a low voice: "Royal Brother, it seems the owner of the house does not welcome us!"

Tang Yin only laughed, he did not say a word, but raised his hand with his fingertip. Without any warning, his finger suddenly retracted, and his fist struck the door gap.

A cracking sound could be heard. It was not loud, but the door's latch had been broken by the force of his fist.

Inch Fist relied on the explosive force generated in that instant. The movement was not big, but the power was not small. After the door was opened, Tang Yin opened the door and looked inside. There was an old man and a young woman inside.

The old man was around fifty years old with a beard that was graying at the temples. The person nestled in the old man's arms was a young girl who was only seven or eight years old.

The old and the young had similar appearances, so he could tell at a glance that they were grandfather and grandson duo. However, at this moment, the grandfather and grandson duo's face were filled with fear, their bodies were trembling, as they looked at Tang Yin and Ling Shuang who were outside the door with eyes full of fear.

"Old man, there is no need to be afraid. We just happened to pass by and came in to ask for some water."

Ling Shuang first looked at Tang Yin in dissatisfaction, complaining that he should not have barged into the house so rudely, scaring the children inside. Then, he gave the grandfather and grandson a kind smile and even winked playfully at the girl.

His gaze would even drift to Tang Yin and Ling Shuang's back from time to time. To those country bumpkins who had never seen the greater picture of the world, the large army with their large flags and long spears that were like trees outside was really too scary.

Ling Shuang also realized this, and said once again: "Elder, we really do not have any ill intentions, you do not need to be afraid."

As she spoke, she saw that the fear on the faces of the old man and the young girl did not decrease in the slightest. She helplessly sighed in her heart and asked directly, "Elder, is there any tea in the house?"1

Hearing that, Tang Yin almost laughed out loud, Ling Shuang's education is too good, what is this place called? He directly walked into the house and looked around. This thatched hut was practically a wasteland, without any proper decorations. On one side of the door was a stove, and on the other side was a broken table with a missing corner. Next to the table was a mat that was so dirty that one couldn't see its original color, but other than that, there was nothing.

His family was already so poor, it would be weird if they had tea leaves! Tang Yin turned back and glanced at Ah San, who was behind him. The two of them understood and quickly walked forward, then took out a brocade bag from their bosom and handed it over to Tang Yin. Inside the bag were the best tea that they had brought from the Feng Country.

"Since there's no tea at home, I should be able to boil some water, right?" Tang Yin asked the old man.

Tang Yin took the opportunity to look, and saw that there was only a big black pot on the stove. The Old Master's meaning was very obvious: if I wanted to boil the water, I can only use the pot to heat it.

Tang Yin was startled, then shook his head and laughed, and replied: "Alright! Just use it to boil the water! " As he spoke, he tilted his head, beckoning the old man to come over and boil some water.

The old man mustered up his courage and walked past Tang Yin. He took out a gourd ladle from the pot and placed the water into a water jar at the side. Taking advantage of the old man heating up some water, Ling Shuang came over to the girl, bent down, and asked with a smile, "What's your name?"

The little girl did not answer, but used her two big round eyes to look at Ling Shuang fearfully. The latter did not mind, but took out an oiled paper ball from somewhere and opened it, revealing a candied fruit inside.

She first picked up one pill and placed it in her mouth, then handed it to the little girl, saying with a smile, "You should eat too, it's very delicious."

Just by taking a look at the candied fruits that Ling Shuang had given her, not only did the little miss not take them, she had even retreated in fright.

It was reasonable to say that children were the easiest to coax. Even if they were afraid of strangers, they shouldn't be scared to such an extent. Ling Shuang placed the candied fruits on the table, then walked over to Tang Yin's side and lowered his voice, saying: "Royal Brother, I think this grandpa and granddaughter pair is a little strange ?"

Tang Yin, on the other hand, did not feel anything. He smiled and asked: "What's wrong?"

"I don't know the specifics, it's just that... "It's just that I feel that I'm too afraid of us. It looks a bit abnormal." Ling Shuang asked curiously.

"What I'm afraid of is not you and me, but ?" As he spoke, Tang Yin pouted towards the door and said softly: "It's the army outside."

"Now that the battle is over, what is there to be afraid of?" Ling Shuang expressed her incomprehension.

"Don't forget, even though the battle is over, in the eyes of many, we are still enemies, including you and me." Tang Yin shrugged his shoulders. This kind of situation, would probably take at least a few years before it recovers, and only then would Mo Mu get used to his new identity.

"So that's how it is!" Ling Shuang suddenly realized something and found it funny: "Looks like I was overthinking it this time."

"Since you're already here, then sit down and rest!" Tang Yin pulled Ling Shuang to the side and sat down, but Ling Shuang stood there unmoving, frowning as she looked at the bedding on the ground, her face filled with difficulty.

Seeing that, Tang Yin immediately understood that Ling Shuang was too lazy to sit, he was just a spoiled little miss! He took out his handkerchief and spread it on Ling Shuang's body, then nodded.

Ling Shuang enjoyed Tang Yin's consideration very much. She smiled sweetly at him, then lifted her sleeves and sat down. She asked: "When does Royal Brother plan to return to Zhenjiang this time?"

Tang Yin thought for a moment, then laughed: "That depends on when Duke An and Duke Huan will be enemies."

Ling Shuang was shocked, and asked: "The two nations have always been on good terms with each other, and King An and King Huan are like brothers, how can they be enemies?"

Tang Yin laughed with his back facing them, and said: "The world is unpredictable. The friends and brothers of today, can also become irreconcilable enemies tomorrow."
