Although Xie Xun wanted to lead the troops to the expedition the next day, considering the authenticity of the information given by the Nanman Queen, he resisted the urge to send troops immediately to bring Qin Rushuang to his side as soon as possible.
He first sent people to explore the strength and strength of the Nanman army, and the information they got was not much different from the information given by the Nanman Queen.
Although there were some slight discrepancies, this made Xie Xun feel more at ease.
If the information given was not bad at all with the situation of the Nanman army, then he would have to carefully consider whether this was a game of catching a turtle in an urn between the Nanman Queen and the Nanman army.
Because the number of people Xie Xun brought this time was too small, the scouts also knew the importance of the news he brought back, so they inquired very carefully. After he passed the news to Xie Xun, and Xie Xun discussed it with Qin Rufeng, Tiandu
It's almost dark.
Xie Xun was a little regretful. It seemed that he could only send out troops tomorrow.
As if remembering something, he asked Ying Yi beside him: "Where is the child?"
Ying Yi quickly replied, "Back to your lord, the child Ying Er is with him. He was a little noisy at first, but later Ying Er caught a few bugs and was playing with him there."
Afraid of Xie Xun's misunderstanding, Ying Yi quickly said, "The insects we caught are all familiar to us, just ordinary crickets. I didn't expect that the poisonous insects here in Nanman grow big. Even the crickets are much bigger than those in Kyoto."
Xie Xun raised his eyebrows and asked, "Isn't he afraid?"
Yingying laughed and said: "Don't be afraid, the little master is very brave and wants to reach out to get it, but we don't dare to let him touch the bug."
When Xie Xun saw the baby, he was seriously watching the two crickets fighting in the cage in Ying Er's arms.
One is bigger and the other is smaller. They are very fascinating to watch.
The baby seemed to prefer the smaller cricket. When he saw the big cricket crawling onto the little cricket, he frowned tightly; when he saw the little cricket turned over and shook the big cricket off, he cooed happily again.
"This brat actually likes to watch cricket fights. From now on, don't be a playboy who only knows how to drink and fight birds."
Yingyi quickly explained, "How is that possible! The prince and princess are both so powerful, and the young master will only become more powerful in the future!"
Xie Xun gave a rare smile, patted Ying Yi on the shoulder, and joked: "He is less than a year old, what's the use of flattering him now, save it for later."
When Ying Er heard what the two of them said, he raised his head and said, "My lord, you have misunderstood Ying Yi. How can he say complimentary words to others? It's just that our little master is awesome! Isn't that right?"
The baby seemed to understand that someone was praising him and clapped his little hands happily.
Xie Xun took the child and said to Ying 1 and 12, "You guys go and have a rest. Thank you for your hard work. I will take him to sleep tonight."
Ying Er was a little hesitant, "Your Majesty, you have to lead the troops to go on an expedition tomorrow, why don't you let us do it."
Xie Xun waved his hand and said, "No, I've already had a rest this afternoon when I was waiting for news from the scouts. Besides, it's okay for you to take care of him during the day. I'm afraid he'll give in at night."
After sending away Ying 1 and 2, Xie Xun took the child back to the main tent.
He asked someone to bring hot water. Fortunately, the weather here in Nanman was hot and humid all year round and the temperature was not low. Although he was a little embarrassed, he still gave the baby a clean bath by himself.
The soldiers around them finished cleaning up the messy battlefield, and both father and son collapsed on the bed from exhaustion.
Of course, the baby was tired from playing in the water, while Xie Xun was tired from taking care of the child.
It's not easy...
He sighed in his heart, it seemed that he would have to take care of Qin Rushuang's children more often in the future, as this was a laborious job.
He played with the baby on the bed for a while, but the baby became more energetic and not sleepy at all. When it got late at night, Xie Xun found that the baby seemed a little uneasy.
He kept stretching his head and looking towards the tent curtain, as if he was waiting for someone.
Xie Xun coaxed him for a long time, but he was unwilling to fall asleep. He even pursed his lips as he coaxed him, as if he wanted to cry.
Xie Xun was so happy that he suddenly asked, "Do you miss your mother?"
A thought occurred to him. He had had enough rest in the afternoon, and now he was full of energy. A bold idea suddenly came to his mind.
"Dad misses your mother too, otherwise we should go find her now!"
The baby tilted his head, as if he didn't understand what he was saying. Xie Xun pointed to the door again and gestured: "Daddy will take you to find your mother."
He just did what he said. It was rare for Xie Xun to be willful. He immediately found the baby's quilt, and then found a piece of tulle from Qin Rushuang's luggage. After wrapping the baby in the quilt, he used a clear tulle
The child was covered tightly.
He did the math in his mind.
He was already very familiar with the road from the dense forest to the Nanman Palace. If he used some light skills, he should be able to get there in an hour and a half. Although he was a little tired, it was worth it to see Qin Rushuang.
Xie Xun was making plans in his mind. He would go there for an hour and a half, return for an hour and a half, three hours, and then stay with Qin Rushuang for an hour on the way. A total of four hours, just before dawn.
When the time comes, lead your troops out to conquer the city together!
He tied the baby to his chest with a coat, held his little butt with one hand, and made a shushing gesture to the baby with the other hand.
"If others find out, they will definitely stop us. We will sneak out later and you will be obedient in my arms and not allowed to speak. Do you understand?"
The baby couldn't understand what he was saying, but he seemed to understand that his father was taking him to find his mother, so he calmed down obediently.
He was obviously in his own military camp, but Xie Xun acted like a thief. He calculated the time for his soldiers to change defenses outside his camp, and used Qinggong to sneak out of the military camp.
He took the baby and performed Qing Kung all the way to the outside of the dense forest.
Looking at the baby's delicate skin, I thought about it and reluctantly took out a few sachets from my arms.
I found this from Qin Rushuang. It should be the sachet that Mu Duo gave her to protect against poisonous insects in the southwest.
If it weren't for the sake of the child, I wouldn't touch that brat's thing!
Xie Xun thought so and stuffed several sachets into the baby's quilt with peace of mind.
The baby was held in his arms, and he could feel the whistling wind blowing by his face. He was a little excited at first, but he was a child after all, and he slowly fell asleep in Xie Xun's arms.
While Xie Xun was performing Qing Gong, he looked at the child sleeping peacefully in his arms, and thought that he would see Qin Rushuang in a while...
Being together as a family, even for an hour, made him feel very excited.
