Hearing Qiao Mingyu's suggestion, Gu Lian was amused.
Knead your waist? It's not necessary at all. She is not used to bending over. If she encounters something that requires bending over, she usually chooses to kneel down on one knee, which is much easier than bending over.
The proposal was rejected, and Qiao Mingyu was a little disappointed. But being able to help Gu Lian rub her wrists and shoulders was already a huge advantage, and Qiao Mingyu was very satisfied.
but... ...
After rubbing Gu Lian, Qiao Mingyu lay on the bed with a confused expression.
How did A Lian rub her waist
Gu Lian patted the back of her head: "Lie down and don't move."
Today, Qiao Mingyu followed a few generals on horseback and rode around Mincheng for a day to investigate the terrain. In some places, it is not easy to ride horses, and people have to walk by themselves. Gu Lian said that he would give Qiao Mingyu a massage, so as not to exercise too much and cause back pain tomorrow. In addition, he also ordered Su Dan to fetch hot water to soak Qiao Mingyu's feet to relieve fatigue.
Qiao Mingyu had been thinking about Gu Lian's affairs, but had forgotten about his physical fatigue.
Gu Lian's hands usually look soft and boneless, but his strength is not small. The massage technique was just right, but Qiao Mingyu had no intention of enjoying it. She buried her hot face in the pillow and felt that her whole body was hot, especially the part where she was massaged by A Lian.
"A pity..." Qiao Mingyu's voice came from the pillow, muffled.
Gu Lian responded casually, but his hands kept moving.
"It's so kind of you."
"Oh." Gu Lian pushed her, "Turn over."
Qiao Mingyu: ! ! !
What kind of belly should be rubbed? !
Qiao Mingyu felt that she was about to burn up, she turned over slowly with a blushing face, closed her eyes, and looked like she was dying heroically. Gu Lian was amused, and deliberately touched her stomach.
"Ah..." Qiao Mingyu immediately opened her eyes and covered her stomach with wide eyes.
Gu Lian asked knowingly, "Why are you shy?"
Saying that, the claws stretched out to his chest.
"..." Qiao Mingyu hurriedly got up and avoided Gu Lian's hand.
Although everyone has boobs, she just feels a little shy.
Gu Lian smiled, and continued to stretch her hand forward, but avoided her chest, placed it on her shoulder, and pressed her to lie down again.
"Don't make trouble, I'll give you a massage on your arm."
Qiao Mingyu breathed a sigh of relief.
The arms are nothing, the most embarrassing thing is the massage of the legs. Qiao Mingyu walked for a day, and her feet were sore. But she didn't let Gu Lian massage the soles of her feet, so Gu Lian backed off and rubbed her calf.
"Princess Jinzhiyuye, I'm afraid I'm not used to it here?" Gu Lian talked to her while massaging.
If other people said this, Qiao Mingyu would definitely be unhappy, feeling that the other party underestimated her, but she was too embarrassed to lie to Gu Lian's penetrating eyes. Honestly nodded, really not used to it.
I used to live in a military camp before, and I spent a month in the big camp in the suburbs of Beijing, but it was the big camp in the suburbs of Beijing. How can the real camp be so comfortable, and Qiao Mingyu is really not used to the climate here. There is also the food. The food in the camp in the suburbs of Beijing is very good. Most of the soldiers there are responsible for guarding the imperial city. Compared with the frontier soldiers, they can endure hardships and live a lot better. If the emperor wanted to sit back and relax, the troops near the capital could not treat him badly.
The Tianxi Dynasty generally seldom sent the army thousands of miles to the battlefield. Usually, the troops were dispatched nearby, which was not enough, and then the troops were dispatched from a distance. After all, apart from the Xiongnu, only the small countries in the south often fight with them, and the troops in other places are useless, just keep them in case.
Qiao Mingyu had a hard time adapting to the climate here, and was not used to the food here. Fortunately, the food and grass allocated by the imperial court are coming soon, and there is no need to eat coarse grains that pierce the throat, and there will be white flour steamed buns to eat.
Fortunately, Tianxi is rich, otherwise, like some dynasties, if the people are so poor that they eat brown rice every day, I am afraid that the soldiers in the army will not be able to afford white noodles.
Gu Lian understands Qiao Mingyu very well. When she came to the Central Plains from Bashu, she was very unsuitable for the climate and diet there, and felt that nothing tasted good. Obviously put a lot of seasonings, but she couldn't sing anything except the salty taste.
There is no way to change these in a short time, you can only adapt slowly.
Gu Lian gave her a pulse: "You are a little unaccustomed to the soil and water, if you really have no appetite, I will prepare a soup base for you every day, and you can boil the bracken and eat it yourself. Or cook the bracken directly with the soup base. Remember you like to eat this."
Bracken can strengthen the body, and the main reason for being unaccustomed to the soil and water is that it is difficult for people to adapt after changing the environment, and the body is weak, causing corresponding symptoms. In addition to trying to adapt, it is to strengthen the physique.
Qiao Mingyu's eyes lit up when he heard it. This is a good idea, but he was afraid that it would be too wasteful to adjust the soup base. After all, he had to put something in it.
"It's fine, I'll just change the recipe." Gu Lian has eaten a lot of hot pot, and has studied it deeply. How to use the simplest ingredients to make a delicious taste is easy for her. Anyway, what Qiao Mingyu needs now is not the ultimate delicious food, but the food that meets the appetite, and the requirements are lower.
"Princess, county magistrate, the hot water is here." Su Dan stood outside with a basin and said loudly.
The main general's tent is not too big. There are only two spaces in the outer room and the inner room. The outer room is used to discuss matters, and the inner room is the bedroom. Since there were only two particularly distinguished women in the barracks, Qiao Mingyu proposed to let Gu Lian live with her, and no one objected. Gu Lian looked so weak, and she was a young lady who had not yet left the cabinet. She couldn't be assigned a bunch of male soldiers to guard outside the tent. It would be better to have a princess to protect her.
As for the princess's female guards, they were naturally guarding outside the princess' tent, and their tent directly guarded the main general's tent in the middle, taking turns off day and night.
Sudan waited for the master inside to make a sound, and only came in with water after getting permission.
"Let's soak your feet." Gu Lian raised his chin slightly and motioned to Qiao Mingyu to come by himself.
Qiao Mingyu is not so precious, and there is no need for anyone to wait on washing his feet, while Su Dan waited for a while and poured the water away. Gu Lian took advantage of this time to wash up with the water from Qiu He and the others.
The leader of the female guards on duty today was Qiu He, and Gu Lian greeted her.
"I heard that a wave of counterattacks by the Huns was repelled two days ago. No one should attack the camp tonight. Miss Gu, you can have a good night's rest, and maybe later." It is difficult to sleep peacefully in the army. , to prevent emergencies at all times. Sometimes the enemy attack in the middle of the night is just fine. In order not to leak the news, there are even cases where all the soldiers are suddenly woken up in the middle of the night and then pull out of camp to go on their way.
Gu Lian nodded and thanked Qiu He for his kindness. She thought about it and took out a jade bottle from her sleeve, which was actually taken out of the system backpack. Inside there is a pill made by Weaving Guzi Gu, you can hang your life in an emergency.
"This is?"
"Good stuff." Gu Lian smiled slightly, "Let's take it and put it away. If there is a life-threatening injury, remember to take it. There is only one, so don't lose it."
Qiu He was startled and immediately put away the thing: "Thank you!"
No one has too many life-saving things. Gu Lian was willing to give her one, and she was very grateful.
Gu Lian gestured to her, then slapped the curtain and entered the tent.
The water was cold, and Qiao Mingyu was about to wipe her feet when Gu Lian stopped her: "I brought in some more hot water, you can soak for a while."
Where is enough time, half an hour is the best.
When the tossing was finally over and she could go to bed, Qiao Mingyu was already yawning. After lying down, he didn't care what to say to Gu Lian, and fell asleep directly. Gu Lian touched her face distressedly and fed her some water with bracken powder dissolved in it.
On the second day, the weather was fine.
More than half of the snow on the ground has melted these days, and it hasn't snowed again. It should be all melted away soon. While snowstorms are annoying, so much snow also means that river levels won't be too low in spring and summer, which is the best news for places where water is scarce.
After Qiao Mingyu sighed at the snow on the ground, she hurriedly left with the two lieutenants after having breakfast. She had to figure out the surrounding terrain before the battle started.
Gu Lian still went to the wounded camp, but today's situation is much better. Many of the wounded's injuries have improved a lot, and there is no need to change the medicine, just go back to rest. Dozens of patients with incurable diseases were also in good condition. Gu Lian checked them one by one, and he was relieved after confirming that the condition had not recurred.
After that, she can relax a bit. The simple dressing and medicine will be taken care of by others. She has nothing to do with her. Taking advantage of this free time, she can make more sub-gu pills. The Gu worms added by the group are the most worry-free. The sub-gu can be melted and thrown into the water, but the ice silkworm and the holy hand weaving the sky are very troublesome, so they can only be made slowly.
Such a leisurely day lasted for five or six days, and the Xiongnu, who was eager to move, finally couldn't bear it any longer, and took the initiative to send someone to provoke him.
In the middle of the night, Gu Lian woke up subconsciously. This was still a habit that Qiao Mingyu had disturbed at the beginning. He kept saying that he would change it, but unfortunately he never changed it. I happened to be thirsty, so I just put on my clothes and got up and poured water.
The tea in the room was already cold, and Gu Lian frowned after taking a sip. She couldn't drink it, so she put the kettle on the stove and prepared to burn it for a while. The weather was cold, so Gu Lian simply took thick clothes and put them on, so as not to catch a cold while waiting.
Nothing to do, Gu Lian simply opened the map, ready to see the terrain around Mincheng.
In the small map, there is only a little place near the camp, and nothing can be seen. The large map can see the whole map. For example, on the map of Yangzhou, you can see the city of Yangzhou, including small towns near Yangzhou, and the new version of the system can also click on one of the areas to view a detailed map. Gu Lian's map is centered on Mincheng, including some small villages nearby. There are also maps of the villages, and even the distribution map of the interior of the military camp.
Gu Lian just opened the map, but before he could take a closer look, he suddenly found a large number of red dots approaching on the big map.
Gu Lian made a decisive decision and immediately shook Qiao Mingyu awake.
"The Huns are here."
