Children of Loulan

Chapter 244 I Want to Hold You for a Little Longer

After going through all kinds of twists and turns, he accidentally heard that the court was recruiting soldiers. With the mentality of giving it a try, he resolutely went to participate in the selection.

In fact, there were not many complicated reasons why he wanted to join the army. For him, the most direct need was to be able to fill his stomach. In that turbulent era, as a soldier, at least he could ensure that there was enough food supply so that he would not starve to death on the streets. This simple desire became the motivation for him to join the military career.

After he joined the army, he met an excellent coach. This coach was not only skilled in martial arts, but also kind-hearted and took good care of him. Under the coach's careful teaching, his martial arts improved by leaps and bounds. It can be said that his current martial arts were basically taught by that coach! He has been alone since he joined the army.

Thinking of this, he secretly made up his mind that after his injury healed, he would really consider settling down in a place to live! After all, not having a fixed place to live always makes people feel adrift and insecure.

After he had a place to live, he would marry a wife, preferably someone like Miss Baier. She was not only beautiful, but also good at martial arts and decisive in her work. She was his ideal wife.

If he had a few more children in the future, he would have a family, a home and something to worry about, and his life would be perfect. Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously. With this beautiful thought in mind, he gradually fell asleep!

Keremu returned to Cuihua Court and saw that Hanguli had already lain down, so he walked to the bedside quietly, fearing to wake her up. However, he found that Hanguli was asleep, but unlike before, she was curled up in the middle of the quilt, wrapped tightly in front and back.

Keremu looked at her in confusion, his heart full of doubts and curiosity. He slowly stretched out his hand, wanting to gently touch Hanguli's hair, but when his fingers touched Hanguli's cheek, a chill instantly spread throughout his body. His hand seemed to be touched by ice, freezing cold.

Keremu frowned, a trace of worry rising in his heart. He reached into the quilt, but was surprised to find that there was no temperature inside the quilt, and it didn't look like someone was sleeping in it at all. The coldness in the quilt made him feel uneasy, and he was worried that Hanguli would catch a cold and get sick.

Keremu decided to further check Hanguli's physical condition. He carefully reached out to touch Hanguli's feet. When his hand touched Hanguli's feet, he couldn't help but gasp. Hanguli's feet were like a piece of ice, so cold that it was unbelievable.

A trace of distress flashed in Keremu's eyes, and he realized that Hanguli was very afraid of cold and might have been frozen for a long time. He took off his coat without hesitation, got into the bed, hugged Hanguli in his arms, and tried to warm her with his body temperature.

Hanguli seemed to feel the approach of warmth in her sleep, and she instinctively moved closer to Keremu's arms, looking for more warmth. Her body gradually relaxed, enjoying this rare warmth.

Keremu gently hugged Hanguli, feeling her breathing and heartbeat, his heart full of care and love for her. He hoped to bring her some warmth so that she would no longer be invaded by the cold.

He looked at her tenderly and called softly, "Li'er, are you still cold?"

Hearing his voice, Hanguli half-opened her eyes reluctantly, glanced at him, and said dazedly: "My Lord, you are back. You are so warm. I want to hold you for a while longer!"

Keremu smiled and said, "Okay, Li'er, hold me as long as you want!" After that, he pulled Hanguli towards him again, put her completely in his arms, and put her feet on his legs to keep her warm!

This method really worked. After a while he could clearly feel Hanguli's body temperature rising!

Keremu looked at the person in his arms, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, then he lowered his head and kissed her forehead lightly.

Although Hanguli was very sleepy, when she felt the man's kiss, she slowly opened her eyes, looked at the man in front of her, a happy smile appeared on her face, then she gently stroked his cheek with her hand, smiled tenderly, and then fell into a deep sleep!

Keremu smiled at her appearance, then hugged Hanguli tightly again, letting her rest her head on his chest and feel his heartbeat.

At the same time, he thought to himself, "You are so afraid of the cold. I wonder how you will survive in the palace. I'm afraid you will suffer a lot!"

On an autumn night, a cool breeze blew through a quiet forest outside the city. Several men in black appeared silently in the forest in front of Zhuangzi, moving through the darkness like ghosts. One of them looked up at the sky and whistled softly. The whistle was crisp and pleasant, like the melodious call of a kingfisher.

After a while, a similar sound seemed to be heard in the distance, as if another kingfisher was responding to him. The men in black immediately became alert and quickly ran in that direction. They passed through the woods and came to a tall tree and stopped.

At this moment, a strange man quietly walked out from behind the tree. He was wearing a black robe, and his face was covered by shadows, so his true appearance could not be seen clearly. The man did not speak when he saw the man in black, but just nodded silently to show his approval.

The men in black looked at each other and nodded, conveying tacit understanding and trust between each other. Then, they turned around without hesitation and ran quickly in a specific direction. Their figures disappeared quickly in the distance like lightning in the dark night.

After watching them leave, the man slowly followed them. The men in black soon arrived at the gate of a farm. One of them made a few gestures to the others, and the others nodded and ran to various places. Soon, the front door, the back door, the side door and the roof were all filled with men in black, as if the farm had been surrounded by them.

As a black man pointed his index finger downward, several men in black rushed into all the rooms of the manor at the same time, their movements were uniform, as if they were well-trained. However, something unexpected happened - when these men in black rushed into each room, there was actually no one inside. Originally, I thought there would be a horrific fight, but the reality was so calm and weird.

The commander in black immediately realized that the situation was not good. He was afraid of an ambush and looked around nervously, afraid that he had fallen into the enemy's trap. So he immediately ordered: "Retreat!" This order was like a flash of lightning that broke through the night sky, causing all the men in black to react quickly. They turned around and left without hesitation, their movements were agile and fast, as if a black whirlwind swept past.

Several men in black quickly left the village, their figures disappeared into the night, leaving only silence and mystery.

The next morning, just after dawn, Keremu could not wait to go to the palace to meet the king. He was anxious and hurried. As soon as he saw the king, he knelt on one knee and saluted, saying in a firm and serious tone: "Father, I have something important to report!"
