Chapter 148 On the Road
Gu Jingzhi smiled indulgently, "Axi is right."
As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled her into his arms from behind and leaned over to kiss her lips, bringing her previous assessment to life.
Li Xi felt that she had really underestimated him. She was too embarrassed to even hold hands with him before, but now, even though they were in the carriage, it was in public with a group of people outside, and he was really embarrassed to do so.
Li Xi thought she was thick-skinned, but whenever she thought of the group of people outside, the tips of her ears turned red.
Gu Jingzhi saw Li Xi's red ears and thought they were so cute, so he gave them a gentle kiss.
The ears were a sensitive area for Li Xi. As soon as his kiss landed on them, her body shook subconsciously.
Gu Jingzhi buried his head in her neck and laughed. Li Xi pushed him away in embarrassment and pulled the pillow over to put under her head.
"I'm sleepy, please go out."
These days, this guy has finally taken charge.
Gu Jingzhi knew that if he continued teasing her, she would definitely get angry and embarrassed, so he stopped teasing her and said, "Call me if you need anything," and got off the carriage.
Li Xi opened her eyes when she heard Gu Jingzhi leaving. She was the only one in the spacious carriage.
She stretched her body and closed her eyes. The journey was long, so she might as well go to sleep. When she woke up, she would have arrived.
When Li Xi woke up, he had indeed arrived at the place.
The carriage had stopped. She opened the curtain and looked outside. The soldiers had already started setting up camp.
Li Xi stood up, opened the curtain and was about to go down when Gu Jingzhi came over to help her.
She glanced at the hand stretched out in front of her and put it on it without hesitation. Noticing the secret glances of the soldiers around her, Li Xi's mouth twitched, and she deliberately stepped on Gu Jingzhi's foot when getting off the carriage.
It’s all his fault. She is almost becoming Daji Baosi in their eyes.
Li Xi's identity needs to be kept secret, and the decree issued by Emperor Jian'an is also a secret decree, so the only identity she can make public now is Gu Jingzhi's fiancée.
That's right, my fiancée.
Since Li Xi is going to follow Gu Jingzhi back to the capital, he naturally needs to have an identity. Otherwise, not only will he not be able to convince others, it will also be bad for Li Xi's reputation. Although Li Xi doesn't care about this.
Unlike Li Xi who didn't care, Gu Jingzhi was very satisfied with it. He still remembered what Ah Xi said when she first agreed to be with him, that they were in a relationship not with the purpose of getting married.
He agreed to it at that time only as a temporary measure. He loved her and naturally wanted to marry her and start a family.
How could he not seize such a good opportunity to establish himself?
It can even be said that this was planned by him. In addition to the identity of his fiancée, he had fabricated other identities, such as a female doctor, a cook, and so on.
But the treatment of either a female doctor or a cook is obviously not comparable to that of a fiancée, so the fact that Axi chose the identity of fiancée among several options was completely within his plan.
Li Xi stayed in the car all day today, and there was no dust on the soles of her shoes, nor did she leave any marks on Gu Jingzhi's shoes.
Gu Jingzhi guessed why she was like this, raised the corner of his mouth, and didn't ask anything.
"The meal will be ready soon, go sit for a while."
Li Xi glanced at him and said, "I've been in the carriage for a whole day. I'm almost tired. Since the meal is not ready yet, let's take a walk for a while."
Her body was stiff from sitting in the carriage all day, so she had to stretch herself.
"it is good."
The surrounding situation has been explored clearly by the soldiers, and Gu Jingzhi can be said to be familiar with the surrounding environment.
"There is a stream over there. Let's go for a walk over there."
Li Xi looked in the direction Gu Jingzhi was looking. Although they had already set up camp, it was not yet dark. The evening glow sprinkled on the land, and the sparkling stream could be seen in the distance.
They walked from the north to the capital. Along the way, the surrounding landscape had already changed. There was more and more vegetation, the land was getting greener, and now there were even streams.
Li Xi couldn't help but sigh in his heart that nature is really a magical creator. Although the distance between them is not too far, the landforms are indeed completely different.
This reminded her of the rain she had once encountered. It was raining in the east and sunny in the west across the road. Nature is truly magical.
"Let's go and take a look." She didn't care where she went for a walk, she just wanted to exercise her body, but after seeing the sparkling stream, she suddenly wanted to go and take a look.
Gu Jingzhi and Li Xi left side by side, and the soldiers dared to look at their backs.
Li Xi could feel their burning gazes even without turning back. She said unhappily, "Didn't they say that the Zhenbei Army follows orders? Why are they gossiping?"
Gu Jingzhi, who already knew what gossip meant, raised his lips slightly, "Following orders is only done in the military camp and during offensive operations. In normal times, they are just ordinary people."
Unlike Li Xi's embarrassment, Gu Jingzhi could deal with everyone's gaze more calmly than her.
He grew up in the capital. Because of his status and the love of His Majesty, he has seen all kinds of looks. He doesn't care what others think of him. Of course, it would be better if they are positive.
After walking out of the soldiers' sight, Gu Jingzhi naturally held Li Xi's hand hanging by his side. Li Xi glanced at her hand held by him, well, she was used to it.
The stream sparkles when viewed from a distance, and is even more beautiful when viewed up close. The stream is not deep, and the water is clear and transparent. Standing by the edge, you can see the small stones underneath and the occasional swimming fish.
The small fish are really small fish, about five or six centimeters in length, and most of them are translucent.
There are pebbles washed by the stream beside the river, which feel very comfortable to walk on, just like getting a foot massage.
After walking for a while, Li Xi felt that the fatigue in her body had been reduced a lot.
Li Xi and Gu Jingzhi walked hand in hand along the stream. No one spoke during the walk. The sounds of the wind, the stream, and the rustling of leaves in the wind were heard around them.
The white noise around you calms people down.
As we walked, the sky gradually darkened, and the last ray of sunlight was about to disappear into the horizon.
Gu Jingzhi held Li Xi and said, "Let's go back and eat."
"Ah."
Li Xi responded, and the two turned around and returned the same way.
When they returned to the camp, dinner was ready.
Being away from home and in the middle of nowhere, the variety of food is definitely not going to be that good.
Tonight's dinner is flatbread with pickles. The soldiers have just picked wild vegetables and hunted game, so they added two more dishes to the dinner, one is fried wild vegetables and the other is pheasant soup.
"The meal is here." Gu Jingzhi served the meal and brought it to Li Xi.
