bluestone

Qingming and Houzi stopped.

The red figure rushed out, seeing the monkey, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Brother Monkey, where's Brother Han? Why didn't you see him?" While asking, he looked behind him anxiously, but looking left and right, he couldn't see him. Seeing only the two of them, his eyes dimmed and he was very disappointed.

"Miss Guo, the boss is back at Daying, and he won't come here until he's done with his affairs." Monkey replied with a little respect.

"Oh, that's it~" Ms. Guo's smile disappeared completely, and she suddenly noticed Qing Ming again, pulled out an ugly smile, and asked, "Who is this?"

"He is Mr. Qingming Qing, a friend brought back by the boss, and asked me to put him in the guest room of the General's Mansion."

"Young Master Qing, I made you laugh." Guo Xiaoxiao clasped her fists and said, she had adjusted her emotions in the blink of an eye, she didn't look petty at all, but she was a little more masculine.

"Where, Ms. Guo has a real temperament." Qing Ming smiled, gentle and elegant.

Only then did Guo Xiaoxiao take a closer look at Qingming, and at a glance he could see that he was from an extraordinary background, with an elegant demeanor, he must be the son of a family who went out to play.

"Young Master Qing is here to play in Xishan City?"

"To be honest, Ms. Guo, I came to play at the invitation of Brother Han."

"I'm very familiar with this Xishan City. Brother Han is busy with his affairs. If Young Master Qing can't find someone to accompany you, why don't I accompany you to visit Xishan City? What do you think?"

"Wouldn't that bother Miss Guo too much?"

"No trouble, I'm idle anyway, and Mr. Qing is a guest from afar, so Brother Han's guests are naturally my guests."

"This will trouble Miss Guo."

"Then don't disturb the young master's rest." Guo Xiaoxiao bid farewell with fists cupped.

Seeing them leave, the monkey took the initiative to explain:

"She is the daughter of the city lord of Xishan, Guo Xiaoxiao. She has liked our leader for a long time, but Luohua is ruthless. You must know that our leader has a confidante in the imperial capital. Every year, when the leader returns to the imperial capital, almost Half the time is spent with his confidante."

Qingming's smile was a little weak, his eyes flickered, he didn't care much about this topic, he nodded perfunctorily, "Let's lead the way."

"Ah, oh."

The two walked to the guest room.

The master and servant of the Guo family left the General's Mansion, and the little girl couldn't wait to say: "Miss, are we not going to find General Han?"

"No, his guests are all here, are you afraid that he won't come back! It's the best policy to sit back and wait."

The little maid nodded half-understood, and then she blushed and sighed, "Birds of a feather flock together, Major General Han's friend is as handsome as him, but he has two styles. This is the first time I have seen the son Ruyu described in the storybook!"

"You stinky girl, you know all about nympho, what else is 'like attracts like'! Don't use words indiscriminately if you haven't read many books~" Guo Xiaoxiao flicked the little girl's smooth forehead.

"Yeah~" The little maid couldn't dodge in time, she screamed and muttered softly while covering her forehead.

Guo Xiaoxiao ignored her little girl's complaints, and stared ahead without blinking, something flashed in her eyes, her eyes were determined, as if she had made up her mind.

This might be her last chance.

Houzi sent Qingming to the guest room, and after getting the butler to make arrangements, he returned to the Zhenxi army camp.

Qingming stayed alone in the guest room to rest. After dinner, he habitually leaned against the window and looked outside.

Not long after, a pigeon flew in and landed on the table in the room.

Qingming untied the note from the pigeon's leg:

【The Holy Majesty has summoned Old General Han back to the capital, and the prince's edict and the talisman commanded by the guards have also been delivered. You must come back before March next year.Zigui] [Got it. 】

Qing Ming replied accordingly.

After feeding and watering, the paper was tied, and the pigeon flew away from here again.

"It seems that you don't have to worry about seeing Old General Han. It must be because of this that Han Tuo was sent back to the barracks." Qing Ming sat on the chair with a blank expression on his face, not knowing what he was thinking.

He only has six months left.

morning of the second day

Qing Ming was eating breakfast, when he heard voices coming from outside, he smiled and shook his head, put down the bowl in his hand, and looked outside the door, after a while, a familiar figure appeared at the door, he was just seen yesterday Guo Xiaoxiao.

Qing Ming got up to greet her, "Miss Guo is really early."

"I was afraid of making the young master wait for a long time, so I simply came earlier." Guo Xiaoxiao walked in.

"Have you had breakfast yet?"

"I've eaten, but I interrupted you." She noticed the unfinished breakfast on the table, with an apologetic expression on her face.

"It's okay, you came at the right time, why don't you eat some more." Qing Ming greeted.

"Then eat some more," Guo Xiaoxiao originally wanted to refuse, but when she saw Qingming looking at her with a smile, she couldn't refuse immediately, and thought that she was disturbing others' meal, and she watched them eat, waiting for him to eat , it seemed impolite, I just had a hurry to eat in the morning, and I was not full, so I simply agreed.

The servants were well-trained and added a pair of bowls and chopsticks.

Only then did Qingming pick up the bowl in front of him again.

After breakfast, just as the bowls and chopsticks were removed, someone walked in from the outside.

"Morning brother, good morning!" Han Tuo was dressed in indigo clothes, broad shoulders and narrow waist, tall and straight, with a bright smile on his face.

"Brother Han? It's so early!" Qingming obviously didn't expect him to come so soon, and stood up in surprise.

"But I invited you here. If I, the host, don't accompany you, do I want you to wander alone in this unfamiliar place!"

"Hmph, he can't be alone!" a female voice choked.

Only then did Han Tuo notice another person in the room, his eyebrows frowned slightly, "Why are you here?"

Guo Xiaoxiao put down the teacup, stood up slowly, walked to Qingming's side, without looking at him, and said, "Young Master Qing and I hit it off right away, but you were not here. I also know that you are busy with military affairs and don't have time to accompany him, so let me go." I'm also idle, so let me accompany you around Xishan City! Moreover, in terms of familiarity, I, the daughter of the city lord who was born and bred, is really familiar with this place. You are a major general, and you are too busy with military affairs. Have time to get familiar with this place." After finishing speaking, he ignored him, and walked outside holding Qingming's wrist, "Let's go, Mr. Qing, don't waste the time of Young General Han."

Qingming seldom comes into direct contact with people. When her hand came up, he had a chance to avoid it, but at that moment, he didn't know what he thought of, so he didn't avoid it. He let her pull him, but his eyes looked towards Han Tuo, with a smile on his face, seemed curious about his reaction.

Walking to the door, he happened to pass by Han Tuo.

Almost as soon as she was pulling Qing Ming's wrist, Han Tuo's face darkened in an instant. When the two of them passed by him and were about to walk out, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Qing Ming's other hand. Everyone staggered.

Fortunately, Qingming was staring at him all the time, so when he stretched out his hand, he was also on guard, and he was pulled over, and then with a "pop~", his eyes blurred, the power in one hand disappeared, and he was already standing on the ground. to the right rear of Han Tuo.

Guo Xiaoxiao was unprepared and almost fell down. Before she could stand still, she felt a pain in her hand. With a cry of surprise, she let go of her hand subconsciously.

"Dead Han Tuo, what are you doing?" Guo Xiaoxiao asked loudly with an angry face.

"Although this is in the northwest and the folk customs are open, it doesn't mean that you can flirt with a young man as a woman. Besides, the younger brother doesn't like to be involved with women casually." Han Tuo snapped.

"I can pull whoever I like, can you control it? Besides, Mr. Qing didn't say anything, so just tell him who you are!" Guo Xiaoxiao retorted, not to be outdone.

"I don't care about your affairs and I don't want to. I only know the habits and preferences of the younger brother, and I know that he doesn't like flirting with unfamiliar women." Han Tuo replied mercilessly.

"You, damn it!" Guo Xiaoxiao heard his words, her eyes turned red instantly, and all the blood on her delicate and bright face disappeared, she turned her head and ran away.

"Aren't you going to chase after him?" Behind Han Tuo, Qingming Qingrun's voice sounded.

"No need, she should have put it down a long time ago, so I just took this opportunity to make it clear." Han Tuo's tone was extremely indifferent.

"Oh, originally I wanted to say, 'Beauty knows and accompanies, brother Han is very lucky!', but now it seems that brother Han doesn't like this kind of good fortune." Qing Ming teased with great interest.

"Brother Qing, don't make fun of me at this time." Han Tuo rubbed his brows in distress.

The tense atmosphere relaxed.

"By the way, brother Han, when will you catch him?" Qing Ming shook his hand.

It was only then that Han Tuo suddenly realized that he quickly let go.

Only when he let go of his hand did he realize that Han Tuo had accidentally used a lot of force, which left a lot of bruises from the palm to the wrist of Qingming Xueyu's flawless hand.

Han Tuo quickly grabbed his hand and checked it carefully, "Sorry, I didn't pay attention, does it hurt?"

"Brother Han is really good at joking. I am a big man. How can such a small injury hurt? It's just because my skin is sensitive and easy to leave red marks, which makes it look serious. If you have seen me These bruises are nothing in the situation after practicing martial arts when I was a child." Qing Ming withdrew his hand indifferently, "Fortunately, I brought medicine here, although it is not serious, but the bruises will fade very slowly, and the medicine will disappear after applying the medicine. Disappear faster."

"Really, that's good. But why are your hands so cold this season?" Han Tuo asked again.

"It's okay, it's been like this since I was a child, my hands and feet are cold all the year round, and I can't cure it, I'm used to it."

"That's it," Han Tuo nodded, and yawned as soon as he finished speaking.

"Brother Han didn't rest, okay?" Qingming asked with concern when he saw the bloodshot eyes.

"It's not that I didn't rest well, it's just that I slept too late. The old man has accumulated so much military affairs after walking for three days, and I dealt with them all in one go."

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Of course it's to accompany you."

Hearing this, Qing Ming felt a ripple in his heart, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Let's rest today, and we'll go out tomorrow."

"Eh? I'm fine..." Han Tuo quickly explained.

"I don't want to go out today. Is there any book I can read?" Qing Ming smiled and asked gently, with an undeniable insistence on his face.

Han Tuo could only smile, and compromised, "Okay, I'll get you the book."

After that, Han Tuo went to the study and brought a stack of books.

"In the general's mansion, there are only things like the art of war, if you find it boring..."

"I'll just read this," Qing Ming took a book directly and read it seriously.

Han Tuo grinned and smiled, walked to the soft couch in the room, turned over and lay down, after a while, his breath became calm and long, apparently falling asleep.

Falling asleep so quickly, it seems that he hardly slept last night.

Qingming put down the book in his hand, and looked up at the person on the couch.

The sunlight outside the window was just right, shining on Han Tuo, covering him with a white halo, and his face became blurred.

Qingming's eyes also began to lose focus, became empty, and his expression was ignorant, no longer calm and mature, but like an ordinary 17-year-old boy, sitting there in a daze.
