Chapter 193 Treating Lu Jiuyuan as a thief

Uncle Tian was very considerate and considerate. After bringing Tao Yao and others into the house, he immediately had a charcoal pot burned and hot soup served.

Several people drank hot soup and were roasted by the fire, and finally recovered.

Especially Tao Yao and Xi'er.

After the stiffness and coldness disappeared from my body, I felt much better.

"Madam, it's much colder in the frontier than in the capital, especially in the past few days, it's been snowing. If you have nothing to do, just stay indoors to avoid freezing." Uncle Tian said kindly.

"Okay." Tao Yao nodded.

Before entering the house, she could still endure it, but now that she was in a warm house, she didn't want to go out at all.

It's really too cold outside.

"But it's not the coldest time yet. When the coldest day comes, it will be even harder." Tian Bo said, looking at the gray sky outside, and sighed softly.

"Would it be this cold in previous years?" Tao Yao couldn't help but ask.

"This year is much colder than in previous years." Tian Bo said, "It's not even November yet, and it's already so cold. I'm afraid many of the Khitan people's cattle and sheep will freeze to death."

Tao Yao was silent.

This winter is very difficult, especially for the people in the border areas and the Khitan people.

The colder the weather, the more desperate the Khitan people will be.

Tao Qian was afraid that she would be frightened, so he patted her hand and comforted her gently, "Now that you are here, don't think so much."

"Okay." Tao Yao nodded.

Being bored at home, Tao Yao asked Xi'er to take out the cards and pass the time.

Uncle Tian has never played poker before, so he is very bad at it.

After Tao Yao taught him how to play a few games, he actually fell in love with the poker and stayed in the house all afternoon, playing poker with a few people.

However, Tao Yao was a little absent-minded and kept looking outside the door while playing poker.

But Lu Jiuyuan didn't come back until it got dark.

After Tao Yao and Tao Qian had dinner together, they saw that it was getting late and the weather was cold, so they asked Tao Qian to go back to the house to sleep.

During this time, she was traveling and taking care of her, and her father also worked hard.

"Okay, you should rest early. I'm afraid Jiuyuan won't be back tonight," Tao Qian said.

"Okay, I won't wait for him." Tao Yao nodded.

As soon as Tao Qian left, Xi'er led someone to carry hot water into the house.

During this period of time, Tao Yao was busy traveling and didn't take much bath. If it weren't for the cold weather, she would have gone rancid.

Considering that Xi'er was also tired during this period, Tao Yao sent her to rest instead of using her to serve her.

Tao Yao went behind the screen, took off his clothes, and then got into the tub.

After being soaked in hot water, she sighed happily.

After soaking for a while, she almost didn't want to get up.

But the water temperature became cold, and if she didn't get up, she would catch a cold.

However, as soon as she got up, she heard movement from outside, someone had entered the house.

She was startled. There wouldn't be any thieves in this general's mansion, right?

Thinking of the Khitan army that was still wandering a hundred miles away, her heart ached.

But be sure not to let Khitan troops sneak in.

At this time, she regretted very much. She had known that she should have waited until she finished taking a bath before letting Xi'er go back to the house to rest.

But there was no point regretting it at this time. She quickly stood up and got out of the tub.

However, she had just pulled her dress off the screen and was about to put it on when a shadow suddenly fell on the ground.

Looking at the shadow, she was so frightened that she screamed, "Someone is coming, there is a thief... ugh!"

Her voice stopped suddenly and her mouth was covered by someone.

Her eyes widened in horror. She raised her foot and was about to kick the opponent's vital part, but the opponent's rough palm held her ankle.

Tao Yao struggled quickly.

However, the opponent's strength was so strong that she couldn't break free at all.

"It's me."

She didn't stop until a low, familiar voice sounded.

She raised her head in shock, and then saw clearly the appearance of the person coming.

She was so anxious and scared just now that she didn't have time to look at the other person's face.

Before she could say anything, the other party picked her up by the waist.

Before she could react, she was wrapped in a soft quilt.

Then the man's cool lips kissed her eagerly.

Tao Yao's tense body suddenly became soft and responded.

However, when she just raised her arms and wanted to wrap her arms around the man's neck, she was pinched by the man's hard armor, causing some pain.

Her confused mind finally recovered.

Lu Jiuyuan also noticed it and stopped.

He put his hand on her side, stared at her with his dark eyes, and said in a low voice: "You are really here..."

When he heard Gu Changqing tell him, he thought he was entertaining him.

But after arranging military affairs, he couldn't help but return to the general's mansion.

What I didn't expect was that as soon as I entered the house, I heard the sound of someone taking a bath.

At that time, he knew that she was really here.

Because there are no female relatives in the general's residence, let alone women bathing in his house.

It's just that he didn't expect that this girl would react so strongly, and he thought it was a thief.

"Are you surprised?" Tao Yao sat up wrapped in a quilt and looked at him with a smile.

Lu Jiuyuan smiled and scratched her nose with his fingers, "It's fright."

"What? I came all the way to see you, and you didn't have a surprise. You even said you were scared." Tao Yao was a little dissatisfied.

Lu Jiuyuan glanced at her helplessly, said nothing, but straightened up and took off his armor.

"Why didn't you speak? Did I really frighten you?" Tao Yao moved his body, unwilling to give up.

After putting the armor aside, Lu Jiuyuan sat down by the bed, touched her cold face with his slender fingers, and said warmly: "The border is not a fun place. The Khitans may attack at any time. You suddenly came here.

It’s not safe here.”

"But I miss you." Tao Yao snuggled into his arms.

Lu Jiuyuan's heart was shocked, and he raised his arms and hugged her tightly.

He missed her too, but he was trapped by things here and couldn't go back.

After a long while, he said in a hoarse voice: "I can go back in the spring of next year at the latest."

"Oh, it will take a long time. Fortunately, I'm here, otherwise I wouldn't be able to see you or spend the New Year with you." Tao Yao said happily.

Lu Jiuyuan looked at her with dark eyes, "But it's cold in the frontier and the materials are scarce. You won't be used to it."

"But you are here, you are here, I can overcome everything." Tao Yao said confidently.

Lu Jiuyuan's heart was so soft.

He didn't speak, raised his hand to hold the back of her neck, lowered his head and kissed her gently.

Tao Yao was not wearing any clothes and she felt cold at first, but when he held her in his arms and kissed her, her whole body suddenly felt warm.

This time, Lu Jiuyuan kissed her for a long time.

After a long time, he let go of her, took his hand out of the quilt, and said hoarsely: "I'm going to take a shower."

Tao Yao's cheeks turned red and he nodded breathlessly, "Yes."

As soon as he left, she suddenly became a little confused.

Should she put on her clothes first?

But I still have to take it off later...

Isn’t it a bit unnecessary?
