Chapter 354 Quanzhou City
Chapter 354 Quanzhou City
And the child finally woke up.
Wang Erniu wanted to ask him something, but the boy was very wary, like a frightened rabbit, his eyes full of fear, so he had to give up and told someone to keep a close eye on him.
After traveling for another half day, we finally arrived at Quanzhou City. Although we had seen a lot of southern scenery along the way, they were all dilapidated rural villages. It was rare to see a tall city.
Quanzhou was a very large and prosperous city, as could be seen from the long line of people preparing to enter the city. There were not only Han Chinese, but also red-haired Indians, Persians, Arabs, and even Japanese people dressed as Japanese. All of them were pulling horse-drawn carriages. The heavy carriages left deep ruts on the ground, indicating that it was not easy to transport them here. There were many servants in the caravans, and they were obviously merchants.
Chen Wenfang sat in the carriage watching the excitement. The children, seeing foreigners for the first time, exclaimed in amazement and huddled together, whispering and giggling. Compared to their clothes, Wang Erniu and his group looked quite poor. Fortunately, their red military uniforms made them look particularly smart, and thanks to Wang Erniu's diligent training, the soldiers looked more imposing than the gatekeepers, which was a source of pride for them.
The crowd whispered and discussed among themselves upon seeing this army.
Wang Erniu didn't arrange for anyone to cut in line. He sent someone to deliver the transfer order and then walked forward along the crowded bus. It was rare to see an official who followed the rules and didn't disturb the people, so everyone couldn't help but turn their heads, and many people cast admiring glances at him.
The closer they got to the city gate, the more people there were, and many of them were carrying knives and weapons. Wang Erniu arranged for the others to camp outside the city, and led a dozen personal guards to surround Chen Wenfang and the children's carriage in the middle. Two teams of soldiers on both sides slowly walked towards the city gate.
Quanzhou was still peaceful under Ouyang's rule. Surprisingly, no money was required to enter the city. After entering the city safely, Wang Erniu finally breathed a sigh of relief. There were still tails following him. He had never been so nervous in his life. Perhaps because his wife and children were with him, he was worried that his family might be harmed by a sneak attack at any time, so he was extremely nervous.
They soon arrived at the inn, where the children settled in. Chen Wenfang asked the innkeeper to bring water and personally gave Wang Erniu a bath; the past month or two had really exhausted him.
"Has that child spoken yet?" Wang Erniu leaned over the wooden tub and sighed contentedly.
"Once he opens his mouth, he says his name is Huang Yi and that he came out with his master to find relatives, but he won't say anything else." Chen Wenfang, panting, vigorously rubbed her back. "Ugh, so tiring!"
Wang Erniu turned to look at her, amused. "You got tired after just a couple of rubs."
"Who told you to be so thick-skinned!" Chen Wenfang slapped the soapberry again. "I think you could even scrub it with a steel wool pad."
What is a steel wool ball?
"It's something like scrap iron wire twisted into a ball; we used to use it to wash rusty pots." Chen Wenfang rubbed her shoulders and patted him. "Okay, turn around!"
"My dear wife, you actually compared me to a pot? I don't want that, I want to be a spatula..." Wang Erniu obediently turned around, his strong muscles flowing and full of masculine charm, like a gentle giant beast, and he only listens to you.
Chen Wenfang was thoroughly entertained and happily groped him, taking advantage of the situation.
"Huh? Why do we need a spatula???" That's a strange answer!
"Because you can stir it in the pot with a spatula!" Wang Erniu grinned mischievously, pursing his lips.
"What??" Chen Wenfang didn't understand for a moment.
"Knock knock knock!" "Captain, Lord Ouyang is here!"
"Okay, I'm coming out now!" Wang Erniu stood up, and Chen Wenfang, still looking confused, handed him a towel.
After he finished dressing and went out, Chen Wenfang finally realized what had happened. Oh dear! Her face turned completely red!
Inside the post station.
"Commander Wang, it's been a long time. How have you been?"
"Thank you for your concern, Ouyang. It's alright."
"You must have had a long and tiring journey." Ouyang Junyan looked much older, with a few strands of silver hair at his temples, but he was still full of energy.
"I'm not tired, it's just a few minor issues. But Brother Ouyang, please take care of yourself." Wang Erniu was deeply moved by his words.
"Hey~ It's all for the country and the people, a few strands of hair are nothing. What about that runaway slave? I got word that his master probably has some evidence, otherwise he wouldn't keep chasing him. You shouldn't have openly saved him. Of course, I'm not saying saving the child is bad, but no matter what, even if he doesn't say anything, they'll suspect you have something on him, which will be bad for you!"
Ouyang Junyan spoke earnestly, saying that although he had originally wanted to transfer him here, it was obvious that someone had pushed him to the front. In any case, with him in the rear, at least the supplies would be guaranteed.
Wang Erniu smiled bitterly, "I understand, but the children saved people, and I can't be heartless in front of them."
Ouyang Junyan paused and nodded, "That's right, I can't be serious in front of Jin'er either."
"Speaking of Jin'er, Madam heard that you have come and wants to see you. I will be hosting a banquet at the mansion tomorrow. You can bring the children to join us."
"Alright, I'll talk to my wife and I'll definitely attend the banquet on time."
"Let's talk in detail tomorrow. You must be tired, so get some rest!"
Wang Erniu watched him leave, then turned around and went back upstairs to tell Chen Wenfang about it. Chen Wenfang also missed Madam Jiang very much, so she was naturally happy to go.
"Have you gone to see the children?" Wang Erniu asked, embracing his wife, who had just bathed and smelled fresh.
"I'm asleep!" Chen Wenfang understood what he meant. She shyly placed her small hand on his strong arm. Her body was a little hot, probably because the weather here was too hot.
"My wife is still so adorable. We've been married for so many years, and she's still shy!" Wang Erniu swept her up in a princess carry, lifting her around the waist.
"Ugh, you're so annoying!" Chen Wenfang buried her face in his chest, her hand resting on his pectoral muscles.
This action clearly pleased Wang Erniu. His wife liked his body! Wang Erniu chuckled, his broad chest heaving. He gently placed his beloved wife on the bed, extinguished the candle with a sudden burst of strength, and pressed his body against hers.
"Hey, take your hand off me, you're stepping on my hair!"
"Oh, oh!" Wang Erniu clumsily removed his hands, quickly stripped himself naked, moved to a different position, and after his wife finished taking care of herself, he skillfully and naturally placed his hands somewhere.
Chen Wenfang wriggled a couple of times, looking quite serious, and said, "Okay, honey, you can do the rest!"
"You little lazy cat!" Wang Erniu gave her a gentle kiss, seized the initiative, and began to conquer.
The night was deep and heavy, and the bed creaked and rocked for a long time, releasing the pent-up stress of the past two months...
The next day, Chen Wenfang dragged her weary body and began to regret it. Why did she have to go to the banquet? Couldn't she have not gone? She just wanted to sleep!
