When the Xiongnu sent envoys to communicate with them, Chen Xi could see the attitude of the Xiongnu from here.

Even though Yeluye made such a big mistake this time, Khan still did not give up on him. It can be seen from the conditions they offered that Khan still valued his son very much.

But yes, although Yeluye has a bad personality and character, he still has abilities. If she hadn't struck first this time, it's not certain who would win in this war. Even if he could win, it would be a miserable victory.

Chen Xi was thankful for her good luck many times, but such emotions did not prevent her from continuing to negotiate terms with the Huns.

Winner and loser, Mu Chenxi, even if she wins by luck, she wins. If she wants to get back the spoils she got, she must pay a price that makes her heart beat.

Of course, she still knew how to measure her measures, lest she accidentally pushed too far and made the Huns retreat, in which case she would suffer a big loss.

Because of this incident, the trip back to Beijing that could have been done quickly was delayed for nearly half a year. In the end, Chen Xi got impatient and directly got angry and told them whether love would come or not. Anyway, she was impatient by then.

, just kill Yeluye directly, as long as they don't regret it, and then the matter will be settled.

The Huns were worried that Chenxi would really kill Yeluye, so they went against the procrastination style and delivered everything Chenxi wanted to Chenxi in less than half a month.

As for those things that needed to be transported carefully for the time being, Chen Xi asked them to send them directly to the inn, and let the people at the inn deliver the things to the capital. There were also matters such as peace agreements that the Khan needed to go to the capital to sign in person.

Although Chen Xi knew that such a treaty would not be able to restrain the Huns for long, as long as the Huns dared to take a step beyond their reach, they would be justified and there would be no need to restrain their hands when fighting.

After the war ended, Chen Xi did not go back with the large army, but rode his horse alone to go back to Beijing.

The closer she got to the capital, the more anxious Chen Xi felt. Sometimes she really wished she could grow a pair of wings and fly directly in front of him.

We used to be together often, but I didn't feel that this was the first time we were separated for such a long time. The longing in Chenxi's heart was about to overflow into a river.

Hurrying slowly, the morning light finally saw the city gate of the capital. However, it was not fully light at this time, the surroundings were gray, and the city gate was still closed at this time.

Because he had escaped from the large group, Chen Xi was too embarrassed to knock on the city gate carelessly, so he had to abandon his horse and climb over the wall into the city.

As soon as she entered the city gate, Chen Xi ran directly to her mansion. The journey was dusty. In order to see Ye Linxiang earlier, she couldn't look at it at all now. Her hair was a little messy and her clothes were dirty.

The originally delicate and delicate skin of the original owner also became dull due to the long hours of traveling day and night and the lack of good care.

As the saying goes, one white skin covers all ugliness. This originally fair skin like fine mutton-fat jade and three-thirds better skin has turned into a dull look. Chen Xi doesn't need to look in the mirror to know how ugly she is now.

.

Originally, she was thinking of running straight to Ye Linxiang's mansion, but seeing her current appearance, she deeply felt in her heart that it would be better not to go out and scare people. It is not wrong to be ugly, but to go out to scare people if you are ugly.

Just adding mistakes upon mistakes.

Although she knew that Ye Linxiang would not dislike her, but in order to please her own beauty, of course she had to put her best foot forward to meet her sweetheart.

Chen Xi already had countless plans in her mind on how to meet Ye Linxiang on her best side, but these plans were interrupted in the next second.

Most people were still sleeping at this moment. Chenxi didn't want too many people to know that she was back, so she deliberately chose the garden, an uninhabited place. Chenxi followed her memory and found the wall of the Princess Mansion near the garden of the Princess Mansion and climbed in.

.

As soon as I stood up, I looked up and saw someone I didn't expect. Chen Xi was stunned there, staring without blinking. The flow of time seemed to become very slow, and even the sound of the breeze disappeared.

ear.

"You...why are you here?"

Chenxi's voice was very low, like a murmur, as if she was worried that all this was like a sweet dream of hers, and was frightened by her own voice before she dispersed.

Ye Linxiang did not rush to answer Chen Xi's words. Instead, he strolled forward, stretched out his skeletal hand, and gently touched Chen Xi's cheek. His cold eyes were full of tenderness and pity at the moment, "You have become thinner."

Already."

The warm touch on her cheek made Chen Xi feel at ease. She turned her face sideways and gently rubbed it in Ye Linxiang's palm. Her breath was filled with his scent, and her restless heart became particularly calm at this moment.

It seemed that as long as I saw him, all problems would no longer be a problem.

"You haven't said you don't want to be here," Chen Xi couldn't help but say coquettishly in her tone. She stepped forward, hugged Ye Linxiang, pressed her face firmly against Ye Linxiang's chest, and said angrily.

"I miss you," Ye Linxiang gently stroked Chen Xi's hair, stroking it again and again, as if he was caressing the most precious treasure in his heart, "I'll be there in just a few minutes' walk.

here."

"It's not a gentleman to climb over someone else's house in the middle of the night," Chen Xi said with disgust, but she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth in a happy arc.

"Well, I'm not a gentleman," Ye Linxiang did not refute Chen Xi's words, but followed Chen Xi's words, "Whatever you say is what it is."

"Haha---it turns out you can say such things too!!!"

Chen Xi couldn't help but laugh like a silver bell, her body's fatigue was swept away, every part of her body was filled with happy cells, her whole body was fluttering, and it always felt unreal.

If she hadn't felt this warm feeling personally, Chen Xi would really have felt that she was dreaming, a beautiful dream, in which the person she loved the most was speaking touching words softly in her ear.

.

Hearing Chen Xi's laughter, Ye Linxiang couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and show a charming smile. Unfortunately, no one saw this scene. The only person present was relying on his arms. Such a beautiful scene was really

It's unbearable to disturb.

"you......"

"Who's there?"

Ye Linxiang just opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by a voice from far away. The two people who were hugging each other were like frightened birds. After being frightened, they quickly separated.

Seeing the lights getting closer, Ye Linxiang put his arms around Chen Xi's waist, lifted him lightly, and climbed up the branch. The dense leaves formed a natural hiding place, hiding the figures of Chen Xi and Ye Linxiang.

The old housekeeper was holding a lantern, slowly approaching the original position of the morning sun with staggering steps, and taking the lantern to shine around.

"Strange, did I hear it wrong?" The old housekeeper muttered to himself in confusion, "I obviously heard the sound, how could I not?"

With doubts in his heart, the old housekeeper slowly left.

The two people on the tree waited patiently for the old housekeeper to leave, then breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at each other and laughed softly, without letting the old housekeeper who had just left hear them.

"I didn't expect that one day I would be hiding from people like a thief. This is obviously my mansion, so when I make such a fuss, I always feel like I'm hiding from people."

Chen Xi raised a narrow smile and looked at Ye Linxiang teasingly, her eyes filled with ill-intentioned light.

"Ahem----"

Ye Linxiang turned his head embarrassedly, avoiding Chen Xi's eyes. His ears felt slightly hot and turned red quietly. Fortunately, they were hidden in his hair and no one noticed.

"I......"

Ye Linxiang was still organizing words to explain this matter. He was just worried that Zhen Zhen would be criticized if outsiders saw him with him at the moment. However, he forgot that the land under his feet was Zhen Zhen's princess mansion. Even if he was seen,

There won't be any problem.

Concern leads to chaos. After the tension passed, Ye Linxiang realized what a big joke he had made.

Seeing Ye Linxiang hesitating and not knowing how to speak, Chen Xi generously let him go this time, took his arm and held him in her arms, resting her head on Ye Linxiang's shoulder.

He stretched out his hand to cover his mouth and yawned delicately, then said with a thick nasal voice: "Forget it, I won't argue with you this time. Be careful next time."

Chen Xi's sudden move of resting her head on his shoulder startled Ye Linxiang, causing him to stiffen his muscles and let Chen Xi move his body motionless.

Although he knew that Zhen Zhen was very good at martial arts, there was only a small spot on the tree. Ye Linxiang was worried that if he accidentally moved, the morning light would sweep down the treetops.

When Chen Xi didn't understand, Ye Linxiang relaxed his muscles and moved quietly to let Chen Xi lean against him more comfortably.

"I miss you so much."

Chen Xi leaned on Ye Linxiang's shoulder and whispered. If Ye Linxiang hadn't been paying attention to Chen Xi all the time, he might have missed this sentence.

"When I was at the border, every time I had free time, I was thinking about you."

As if Chen Xi didn't know what consequences her words would have on Ye Linxiang, she told him her feelings in straightforward words without missing a beat.

"Do you miss me? If so, how much?"

Chen Xi was dissatisfied that she could express her feelings directly by herself, so she asked Ye Linxiang.

"Me," Ye Linxiang quietly intertwined their hands and entangled them tightly, looked at Mu Chenxi beside him, and said word by word, "I miss you too, every day.

I’m thinking of you, no matter what I do, I’m thinking of you.”
