Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 125 Take her to find the spring

 Before dark, Li Ling arranged for everyone to find a place to camp.

The weather today was surprisingly good, and the sky was clear even in the evening. The soldiers successfully set up their tents without any effort today, and because they annihilated the group of sand ghosts during the day and eliminated harm to the people, each and every one of them was young. All faces were beaming with joy.

Jingshu was hiding in the tent, but she felt uneasy. She was tired from the wind and sand yesterday, and Li Ling was by her side at night, so she was able to sleep well all night.

　　It was hot during the day, and she was sweating all over. The sweat and sand and dust stuck to her body, which made her feel particularly uncomfortable.

Ziyun felt distressed when she saw how uncomfortable she was. She brought a jar of water and said to Jingshu, "How about I help you wipe it with this water?"

Although I brought enough water, if there is bad weather again tomorrow, my trip will be delayed.

This water is used for everyone to eat and drink, how can it be wasted for washing.

Jingshu sighed and replied: "It'll be fine once we get out of the Gobi. Let's just endure it a little longer."

Li Ling entered the tent and saw Ziyun carrying a jar of water out with a sad face. He also saw his wife wiping her face and neck with a dry towel.

He walked up to her, took the towel in her hand, and helped her wipe the dust from her head and body. He couldn't help but murmured distressedly: "I have to come out and suffer, now it's terrible." Do you regret it?"

Jingshu lowered her eyebrows and replied, "I do regret it."

 She scolded Li Ling: "Send me back right now."

 Li Ling: "."

He tugged at her ears and said through gritted teeth, "Young lady, you are really difficult to deal with."

He knew that his wife had always loved to be clean, and it was uncomfortable even for him to be covered in sweat and dust like this, let alone her.

Li Ling felt distressed and said, "How about I go get two cans of water and wipe it for you."

Jingshu waved her hand and said: "Forget it, that water is for everyone to eat and drink. You bring it for me to wash up and let the soldiers think of you."

 “I don’t want to ruin your reputation.”

Li Ling looked at his little wife dotingly and couldn't help but kiss her on the forehead.

Jingshu quickly pushed him away: "Oh, my head is so sweaty."

Li Ling simply kissed her again and said with a smile: "Your sweat is also fragrant."

Nowadays, Li Ling would say two thoughtful love words every now and then, which made Jing Shu very obedient.

 Women are auditory creatures, and what woman doesn’t like to hear love words?

 It’s just that grown men like Li Ling rarely say anything.

Jingshu hugged his strong and lean waist, looked up at him and said, "As long as I'm with you. No matter how hard I endure, my heart will always be sweet."

 Compared to Li Ling, Jing Shu never hesitated to say nice things to him.

You can make him happy just by saying a few words, so why not do it?

Li Ling listened to his wife's words. He picked up the cloak and wrapped his wife tightly. Jing Shu was confused and struggled to say: "What are you doing?"

Li Ling made a silent gesture towards her and pulled her out of the tent.

Li Ling took Jingshu and deliberately avoided the soldiers all the way, and carried her onto the horse. He also turned over and jumped, clamped his legs, and rode away.

Facing the last ray of light cast by the setting sun, the two of them galloped across the vast Gobi desert. The whistling wind sounded in their ears. Jingshu held onto Li Ling's clothes tightly and pressed her head against his chest. In front of me, I listened quietly to his strong and powerful heartbeat.

 When he was far away from the camp, Li Ling tightened the reins of his horse and slowed down.

Jingshu raised her head and asked, "You brought me out just for horse racing?" Li Ling sat on the horse, picked up Jingshu with one hand and turned her back to him. He put his chin on her shoulder and replied leisurely. Said: "I have heard that there is a water called 'Crescent Moon Spring' in this desert. I will take you out to find it."

Jingshu turned her head and asked, "Who did you listen to?"

Li Ling replied: "I forgot. It seems that I followed Uncle Zhou to Nanjun to fight against the Gaoshan Kingdom. I passed here and heard him mention it."

Jingshu was really helpless with this straight man. She smiled and said, "You just heard it from hearsay. Do you believe such an unreliable thing?"

“Besides, even if there is a spring, we may not be able to find it in such a vast desert even if we search for a month.”

Li Ling insisted: "Now that you are out, let's look for him. I don't want to see you feel uncomfortable."

Since it was all for her, Jingshu didn't know what to say. She just worried: "The climate in this desert is constantly changing. It looks like it's sunny now, but there won't be a sandstorm in a while."

Li Ling replied: "I looked at the stars before I came out. There will be no storm tonight, and it will be sunny tomorrow."

Jingshu thought Li Ling was lying to her again, and said disdainfully: "If you were so capable, how could you not have expected such a big storm when we set out yesterday?"

Li Ling replied, "I'm still a beginner at this. I can only observe the stars for one day. The night before departure, I could tell that it was sunny in the first half of yesterday and that it would be windy in the second half of the day. I just didn't expect the wind and sand to be like that." big."

Jingshu nodded disdainfully.

Li Ling leaned into her ear and said, "You don't believe it? Do you think I'm lying to you?"

Jingshu replied: "I really don't believe what you said."

 Li Ling sighed: "I really regret that I always teased you before, which made you even refuse to believe me now."

Jingshu saw that he was not trying to trick anyone anymore, so she asked, "Are you really good at stargazing?"

Li Ling replied: "What's so strange about this? Is it that simple for you to be a general? You only need to be able to wield a sword and wield a sword."

"Stargazing is a must-learn skill. Once you master this, you will have a chance of winning when two armies confront each other. For example, if you want to sneak attack the enemy camp, you must choose a cloudy, foggy, starless and moonless night. "

Jingshu asked: "It's not necessary to be able to do stargazing. If you want to make a sneak attack, just go directly when it's cloudy."

Li Ling smiled and said: "You are talking like a child, do you think that sneak attack on the enemy camp is as easy as going to the vegetable market to pick cabbage? You have to make sufficient preparations at least one day in advance, and you have to make sure that you can't see your fingers all night. , If you are lucky enough to attack the enemy camp on a cloudy day, and the moon comes out halfway through the journey and shines brightly, then you will lose everything in return."

Jingshu asked: "Did you learn these skills from astrology books?"

Li Ling replied: "Those are just superficial skills. The real skills are passed down from generation to generation. There is a lot of knowledge in it and you need to have understanding to learn it."

Jingshu turned her head and looked at Li Ling and said, "Are you the best in Daqi in this regard?"

Li Lingyang touched his wife's head: "You think too highly of your husband. There are many people who are better than me. Let's not talk about the distance, let's talk about my father and Uncle Zhou. They are better than me in this aspect. A lot more than that, Uncle Zhou can see the stars in three days, and my father is even better than him, he can accurately see the stars in five days."

Jingshu leaned on Li Ling and said, "They have been generals all their lives. You are still young. You are already very powerful to be able to do this."

 Li Ling smiled and leaned into her ear and asked, "Worship me?"

Jingshu smiled and patted him back: "When you have the ability to observe the seven-day horoscope, I will worship you again."

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Ling raised the lantern, pointed at the bright area in front of her, patted Jingshu and said, "Do you think there is a body of water in front of it?"

Jingshu took advantage of the situation and looked around.

 It was really a bright water. She said to Li Ling in disbelief: "I was actually found by you. You are really capable."

 Li Ling raised his eyebrows proudly: "Worship me?"
