Huaigui

"It's bad! It's bad!—"

Li Queshuang stumbled back to the Escort Bureau, just in time for his father and Xie Bi to be there. He didn't even drink his saliva, propped up his knees, gasped for breath, and raised his head and said: "Someone is here to congratulate you!" Brother Lan!"

Xie Bi didn't know what she was thinking, and her face changed: "Just say I'm not here!"

Li Queshuang said: "I said I'm not here, but I always feel that those people will not let it go easily... Yinzhou is so big, what can you do? Brother Ruxi, make up your mind!"

Xie Bi didn't understand what he said, and looked at Li Ciyuan in a daze.After all, Li Ciyuan is more experienced than the two younger ones, so he raised his arms helplessly: "Slow down, who you met, what you asked, what kind of car did you look like, where did you live, remember well."

Li Queshuang pressed his temples, fearing that he might miss any details. Just after he finished talking about staying in the inn, the old guard of the security guard stood outside the door with a broom: "Master, someone is looking for someone to take care of this."

Li Ciyuan asked casually: "Male or female?"

Usually the people who come to the security agency to do business are men, but this time the old man said: "She is a beautiful girl." The three people in the hall were stunned, and the old man made a joke: "You are also lucky, big boss?"

Li Ciyuan looked at Xie Bi, who shrugged his shoulders to indicate that it had nothing to do with him.He coughed dryly, put down the rolled up cuffs, adjusted his appearance a little before walking to the front yard.

As soon as he left, the two laughed back and forth, Xie Bi clutched his stomach: "Oh, this is fun."

Li Queshuang laughed twice and began to worry again: "Brother Ruxi, what should I do with Brother He Lan?"

Xie Bi poured a pot of tea, smelled the fragrance, and said leisurely, "Why are you panicking? He doesn't know where he is now, he can't be contacted, and he doesn't know when he will come back. If we can't find it, who can find it?"

Li Queshuang felt reasonable when she heard it, and finally put her heart back in her stomach.

In the front yard, Li Ciyuan was at a loss, sat down next to the stool and cleared his throat: "Come... come and show this girl some tea."

Most of the women in Yinzhou City grew up on the grasslands. They are hot and capable, just like Mrs. Duan Liu, a man who can stand up to the sky when he is away from home.There is more than boldness, but not enough gentleness. The sun is scorching on weekdays, and the goose egg face is flushed. Although it is a different kind of beauty after looking at it for a long time, men will always fantasize about the Jiangnan lady from Xiaoqiao Liushui.

The woman in front of her couldn't tell her age, she was a little more charming than 25** years old, and a little more innocent than [-] years old, she stood there gracefully, wearing a light yellow dress and a light-colored cloak, The bun is neat, and the pearls on the earlobes are like the icing on the cake.

She smiled and asked, "Can I sit?"

"Ah? Ah... Please, please sit down." Li Ciyuan almost didn't jump up.

He couldn't even tell how many years he hadn't been in contact with this kind of girl. The other party seemed to speak softly, and any louder voice would scare the other party.

When the girl was seated, Li Ciyuan lowered his voice: "What's your name?"

"My maiden name is Shan." The girl covered her mouth and took a sip of tea, her dark eyes were full of affection, "The master of the family calls me Amang."

Speaking of "Master", Li Ciyuan came back to his senses, and he cut to the point: "Did Miss Shan come to our bodyguard agency for business? Your own caravan or personal belongings?"

Amang said: "I don't do business with the big master. Does the big master remember that there is a Nanshang in the caravan that went to Suiye country in half a year?"

Li Ciyuan thought for a while, and said: "There is indeed a person, I remember his surname is Ji."

"Master Ji was able to return to Runzhou safely, thanks to the protection of the two adults from Fortis Bodyguard Bureau." Amang blessed his body, and said, "It's just that we parted in a hurry, and there is one thing that was temporarily entrusted to the second master to keep in his place. Yes. This time, the young master happened to be passing by the precious land, so he can get it back for the master. I wonder if the master can give me some pointers?"

The Escort only knew that the first head was named Li and the second head was He. As for the other titles, no one cared, so they couldn't spread the word.

She said everything, and there were indeed people in the caravan, although Li Ciyuan was puzzled, seeing the well-mannered woman, he thought to himself: The people Shuang'er said to find Mingyue, could it be them?

"Ah... what is it?"

Aman wondered: "Here, I'm just repeating the master's entrustment. How can I know the details?"

Li Ciyuan didn't dare to reveal Helan Mingyue's whereabouts rashly: "Today... Gouzi met a group of strangers in the city and was also looking for the second leader. He was frightened a lot. Now I see that the girl is a reasonable person, is it okay?" Can you tell me what is the relationship between you and the group of people you met?"

Amang almost fell down holding the teacup, and said in surprise, "There are others? My son and I came here on our own, and we just followed each other in a car...Young master must have made a mistake."

She spoke in a soft but very positive tone, Li Ciyuan was puzzled for a moment, seeing that there was nothing abnormal, he breathed a sigh of relief: "To be honest, our bodyguards are used to traveling around, so we are inevitably a little wary of strangers, in order to prevent seeking revenge."

Deliberately biting the word "seeking revenge" hard, Aman ignored it and smiled lightly: "There is no complaint in the future, and you have the grace of a guard, how can it be against him?"

She spoke so sincerely that Li Ciyuan finally put down his guard: "He's not in the city, and we can't get in touch."

"Oh?" A Mang's eyes lit up, "It doesn't matter, does the master know which direction he went?"

"The river valley pasture on the border." Li Ciyuan roughly said the location, "The Erdang family opened up that place alone for the nearby herdsmen to graze sheep and cattle, and he occasionally went there to relax in summer. But the terrain in front of and behind the pasture is complicated and difficult to know The exact location, not to mention the fact that the barbarians are starting to move now, if you are not in a hurry, just wait in the city for a while and he will come back, going to the border at this time may risk your life.”

Aman nodded lightly: "Thank you."

When she got the news, she stood up and said goodbye to Li Ciyuan. After turning around and leaving, she seemed to suddenly remember someone's advice: "Master, can I ask... How is he doing these days?"

"Huh?" Li Ciyuan didn't know why, and then laughed, "You see, our Yinzhou City is not prosperous now, but everyone's life is also very colorful, it's all due to him, how does the girl think he is doing?"

Hearing this, Amang gave him a solemn salute, and then left with the hem of her skirt.

Watching her disappear at the door, Li Ciyuan smiled and said: "This kid really has two brushes, girls like everywhere he goes!" He picked up the rest of the tea and went to the backyard to settle accounts with Li Queshuang.

The sky is like a dome, covering the four fields.

Fifty miles north of Yinzhou City, there is a valley, through which meandering rivers flow, where the water and grass are luxuriant, suitable for animal husbandry.The grassy slope is gentle, stretching out narrowly for about ten miles, and farther away near the territory of Rouran, you can see the bright black water under the sun.

On the grassy slope, several simple white tents were scattered here and there. Many shepherds in Hu suits and leading horses were sitting or standing near the tents.Now it's time for dinner, and two people made a hot meal. After it was done, the tall one pushed the short one, pointing to the young man lying on the riverside slope: "Hurry up, send it to the second master."

The short one didn't bother him when he carried it over, put it on a nearby stone and left.He knew that the other party could understand, not to mention a lazy wolf lying not far away.

The young man lying on the grass slope had his legs folded together, his arms resting on the back of his neck, and his face was covered with a cloth to block out the scorching sun at noon.A blue-black falcon circling above his head made high-pitched calls from time to time, apparently happy to be out for a walk, while the wolf remained motionless with extremely bright eyes.

Helan Mingyue didn't fall asleep, he could hear the sound of running water while lying down like this.

He came to the river valley in search of inner relief. It is quiet here, and there are no complicated things to worry about.In addition to riding around on horseback all day long, he often just lay on the grass slope in a daze.

Nature has some kind of healing power, and old wounds and physical disabilities can find answers here.

As Xie Bi said, he is about to "come out".When he returned to Yinzhou City after this time of grazing, He Lanmingyue believed that he could continue to move forward.

Yesterday, a group of Rouran people passed by the ranch, clamoring for them to pay tribute to Rouran.This statement is very fresh, not to mention that even though this place is in the territory of Daning on the border, the rules are so inconsistent, there is a style of "robbing if you don't give something away", He Lan Mingyue is unwilling to fight with them Conflict, send over twenty sheep.

The ranch is shared by everyone, and anyone can come in. In the final analysis, it is his property.Not only the ranch, but also the bodyguard bureau - Li Ciyuan will not rob him - the land of the palace, including the large and small shops opened under his instruction in Yinzhou City, will have to pay a sum of money to the bodyguard bureau at the end of the year.

Li Ciyuan has some credibility in Yinzhou. He said that Helan Mingyue helped fetch water and solved the most difficult problem in Yinzhou. He also proposed to distribute the shop to everyone, and the people obeyed him.

The pavement is also the heritage of the Longxi Palace in the early years.After Helan Maojia's death, the Helan clan completely moved out of Yinzhou City, and only some old people were left holding on to their ancestral property. Thanks to this, he has been able to live comfortably all these years.

The flock has lost twenty sheep, and I don't know if those Rouran people will come again, and if they come again, what should they do...

He Lanmingyue closed his eyes and thought about how many soldiers he had on hand. When he realized that the number of newly joined Escorts and Li Ciyuan's militia was enough to form a small army, he suddenly panicked.

The [-] miles along the Yinzhou line are places where no one cares. If he wants to, he can indeed form his own armed forces.

But is he going to do it?

Gao Hong became the emperor, and at this time he created an army that had always been nondescript, and it seemed that he wanted to avenge Gao Jing.Helan Mingyue thought about it, turned over, and immediately let go of this thought.

Meteor ran over and wanted to rub into his arms. The wolf had a strong animal smell. He Lan Mingyue pointed to the river not far away in disgust, telling it to play there.

After the wolf cub ran away, He Lan Mingyue sat up and prepared to eat.

The herdsmen's food is not very good, and they can make ends meet, which is better than dry food.He didn't expect that there would be a few herdsmen living in the river valley this season, and when the dry food he had prepared was gone, Ah Da wanted to cook for him every day. He Lan Mingyue declined a few times at first, but then they couldn't stop arguing. Respect is worse than obedience.

The flock of sheep came chasing the water, Meteor had nothing to do to chase them away, Helan Mingyue knew that it would not really drive the sheep away, so she quietly watched the fun and used this funny scene for dinner.

He had some meat left and gave half of it to Feishuang, and the rest and a piece of dry food to Meteor.Wolf cubs are used to eating human food since they were young, and they prefer cooked food. They look fierce and will not easily hurt people or livestock for the sake of appetite.

After finishing all this, Helan Mingyue stood up and returned the bowl to Ada.

A car appeared on the horizon, heading towards the valley.It was Feishuang who saw them first, and it flew back to Helan Mingyue's shoulder like lightning, then stretched its neck and let out a neigh.

"What's wrong?" Helan Mingyue flicked its mouth.

Feishuang flapped her wings and stood on the horse's head.Realizing that it didn't act on a whim, Helan Mingyue relaxed all over, got on the horse, and said to the two Ada brothers who cast concerned eyes: "Fei Shuang found something, I'll go and see, you don't act rashly here , keep an eye on the flock.”

After receiving an affirmative answer, He Lanmingyue whistled, and Meteor, who had enjoyed playing with the flock of sheep, rushed out in a well-trained manner.The gray wolf was at the forefront of chasing the falcon, and he shook the reins to meet him.

After leaving the city, the ranch and the trade route are in the same direction but should have been separated long ago.Caravans don't often come here, He Lan Mingyue was puzzled, but felt that the carriage didn't look like a caravan.

He whistled to signal the meteor to stop, Gray Wolf arched its back in front of it, stretched its tail straight back, and let out a threatening growl from its throat.Feishuang was also restless, and would swipe towards the carriage from time to time, as if reminding him that the visitor was not kind.Seeing their reaction, Helan Mingyue's heart sank.

The old wound on his chest has healed long ago, and with Lao Qin's prescription, he has been nurturing him for the past few years and has never felt any pain again, but now He Lan Mingyue saw the carriage getting closer and closer, so he tightened his grip on the reins and trotted forward two steps .

When Frost landed, He Lan Mingyue raised his forearm to make it stand still, and then he saw clearly the face of the driver——

With an unbelievable shake of his arm, Feishuang jumped onto his shoulder.

Helan Mingyue's hand reached for the quiver hanging beside the saddle. The bow behind him was heavy. After confirming that he had read it correctly, his heart twitched, and his fingertips couldn't help but touch the iron bow.

The carriage stopped ten steps away, He Lan Mingyue did not move, the driver jumped down first.His steps are firm and slow, and the sky is blue.

With the sound of piercing through the air, the white feather arrow pierced into the ground within walking distance of the toe of his boot.

Helan Mingyue drew her bow, and the next arrow was on the string.

He heard his own voice forcibly calming down, revealing the identity of that person: "Captain Lin, if you go half a step forward, your blood will be splashed on the spot."

Lin Shang raised his arm to show him that he was not wearing a sword, and he turned to the side without saying a word, letting the carriage behind him come.Behind, the woman in the light yellow dress got out of the car.

A gust of wind passed by, and the grass made a rustling sound. She stood there, looking at the bright moon, without opening her mouth for a long time.

Slowly lowering the hand holding the bow, He Lan Mingyue opened her eyes wide, trying her best to ignore the soreness in her nasal cavity, and her voice changed: "Aman... Sister Aman?"

The word "sister" hinted that their relationship had not changed, and Amang couldn't hold back anymore. She covered her face with her hands and squatted in the knee-high grass. She buried her head and her shoulders shook violently.

Helan Mingyue was touched in his heart. After all, he had no grievances with Amang and he didn't expect to see someone here.Turning over and dismounting, he hung the longbow on the side of the saddle with his backhand, telling Meteor and Feishuang not to move, and walked over by himself.

The steps hesitated at first, then became faster and faster, and at the end it almost seemed like a trot.

"Mingyue!" Aman yelled, and then couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears.

Helan Mingyue half-kneeled beside Aman, raised her hand to press her shoulder, felt the warm body temperature and her uncontrollable crying, and realized later: Aman was real.

After realizing this, he felt a sudden dull pain in his head, raised his head, and looked at the car in disbelief——

"Gao Jing is not dead?"

The next moment, a voice he was very familiar with sounded in the car: "Not dead."
