Throughout the day, Qin Rushuang, led by Mu Duo, visited the Nanman palace and told him about the situation of the Nanman royal family and the Nanman territory.
Even Qin Rushuang has to admit that Nanman is a really good place.
It is surrounded by dense forests infested with poisonous insects, making it difficult to break in without a guide.
Although the Nanman territory is not large, it is rich in products.
Whether it is minerals or other natural resources, the types are very diverse. What is even more rare is that there is a natural salt water lake in Nanman.
This directly solved the problem of salt use among the southern barbarian people. You must know that with salt, people have strength and can work easily.
On the other hand, although Dayan occupied a vast land on the grassland before, there was no sea or such salt lake around them, so salt was a very scarce resource.
They attacked Daqi several times, not only because they were greedy for Daqi's land, but also for Daqi's rich salt resources.
In comparison, the life of the people in Nanman was too comfortable.
In such a place, the people can be self-sufficient, and the land is not small, separated by dense forests.
For other countries, conquering it is not only difficult, but the area is small, and it makes no sense.
This also determines that the Nanman can survive peacefully in this paradise.
After a day of shopping during the day, Qin Rushuang felt quite tired, so she washed herself early under the service of the Nanman maid, and was now lying on the bed.
At this time, everyone around her retreated, and she suddenly felt that the air was very quiet.
There is no child babbling, and there is no need to worry about him kicking under the quilt in the middle of the night, which makes him unable to sleep.
She closed her eyes and was thinking about Nanman. As she thought about it, she felt sleepy, and her eyes were hazy and she was about to fall asleep.
At this moment, she suddenly heard a noise outside the room.
Qin Rushuang was very vigilant in unfamiliar places and would not fall asleep, so the very slight sound became particularly harsh in her ears.
She sat up, pulled off the quilt with one hand, and touched the whip under the pillow with the other hand.
"who is it?!"
Suddenly, the door creaked open.
A tall black figure walked in.
With the moonlight behind him, he couldn't see his face clearly, but his shadow on the ground was very funny. He was obviously a man, but his chest was bulging.
It's said that it smells like a woman's, but it doesn't look much like it. It always feels weird.
She was about to ask who it was, when she heard a soft sound from the man's arms——
"Yeah~"
Then, the man's lowered voice came, "Shhh... please keep your voice down. If you attract people, we won't be able to stay with your mother."
Qin Rushuang finally knew who was coming.
She almost thought she hadn't woken up yet, and her voice was full of surprise, "My lord, why are you here? Are you bringing the child with you?"
Xie Xun walked to Qin Rushuang in three steps and two steps at a time.
Although they were only separated for one day, he felt as if they had been separated for a lifetime.
He looked at Qin Rushuang carefully, and when he saw that she was fine, he pointed to the child in his arms and said, "He misses you."
Then, he tentatively tried to pull Qin Rushuang's hand, "I... miss you too."
Qin Rushuang retracted her hand slightly, avoiding Xie Xun's attempt to hold her.
Just when Xie Xun felt a little disappointed because of her avoidance, Qin Rushuang's hands wrapped around Xie Xun's neck.
Xie Xun's body froze.
Why is she so proactive today...
Just when I was about to say something, I felt a lightness in my arms.
It turned out that Qin Rushuang didn't want to hug him, but to untie the strap behind his neck to put the child down.
Qin Rushuang pretended not to see Xie Xun's fiery gaze, and held the child in her arms, patting his little butt gently.
"It turns out that our baby wants to be kissed by his mother. Are you happy to see her now?"
Xie Xun coughed twice, trying to find a sense of presence for himself.
"I don't know if he is happy or not. Anyway, I am very happy to see you."
Qin Rushuang rolled her eyes at Xie Xun, and the man became more and more shameless when he spoke.
Qin Rushuang teased the child. The child was tired from tossing, yawned and wanted to sleep.
After putting the child to sleep, Qin Rushuang gently placed the child on the bed.
Perhaps because it was not a familiar environment, the child frowned as soon as he put it down, vaguely wanting to wake up.
Qin Rushuang quickly reached out and patted his little butt. Feeling the familiar smell, the child calmed down again.
Qin Rushuang originally wanted to discuss Nanman affairs with Xie Xun at the table, but now she was tied up by this little brat and could only sit by the bed.
Seeing Xie Xun standing a few steps away from her, she said angrily, "What are you standing for? Come sit over here."
Xie Xun sat down next to her and asked, "Let me sit over here. Do you miss me too?"
"I miss you... size!" Qin Rushuang swallowed back the dirty words in her mouth.
"I didn't miss you. I just wanted to know what the situation is like in the army. Have you sent anyone to find out whether the information given by the Queen of Nanman is accurate?"
Xie Xun raised his eyebrows and said jokingly: "I thought you had no doubt about the news Mu Duo gave you, based on your friendship and your trust in him."
Xie Xun said this sourly. If there were a plate of dumplings at this moment, he would probably be jealous and there would be no need to prepare them.
Qin Rushuang glanced at the sleeping child. She was not awakened by their conversation, so she lowered her voice and said angrily, "What time has it been? You are still joking! What's going on?"
Speaking of this matter, Xie Xun put away the impropriety on his face and said: "The information returned from the investigation is almost the same as what the Queen of Nanman gave. There are some discrepancies."
Qin Rushuang nodded, thinking exactly the same as Xie Xun, "It's okay if there are any discrepancies. If there are really no discrepancies, then it means there is a problem."
She glanced at Xie Xun and asked, "You are here so late today. Are you not planning to send troops tomorrow?"
"It took a long time for the scouts to investigate this afternoon. I have already rested. I will take the children back to the military camp later. The sky is slightly bright and I will lead the troops."
Qin Rushuang glanced at him and said, "You're not afraid of exhausting yourself."
Xie Xun raised his eyebrows, "Why, is the princess feeling distressed?"
Qin Rushuang withdrew her gaze and stopped looking at him.
"I don't feel bad. I hope you can take back the two cities as soon as possible. I also miss the baby."
She thought for a while and suddenly said: "Otherwise... you can go back by yourself today and leave the baby here, and I will take care of him."
After hearing this, Xie Xun immediately quit.
"How can that be done? I have already sent my wife here, there is no reason to have a child here!"
"I will take the child away tonight, and as for you... I will also take you away in two days!"
Both mother and son belong to him alone, no one can touch them!
