I hope to return to the country

Qin Zhiyi's speed is very fast.

When the city gate was just opened, the genius was dim, and he rushed all the way into the city with Le Zhiyu, and found an inn to stay.

Xiao Er yawned and delivered hot water and sore medicine as ordered, but Le Zhiyu, who only showed his face, stared in amazement, stood there in a daze and forgot to leave.

Qin Zhi also stood at the door, silently blocking his sight.

Xiao Er met his cold eyes and shuddered for a moment. Then he came to his senses, apologized repeatedly in fright, and hurriedly took the door and ran away.

Le Zhiyu was not good at riding a horse at all, he was uncomfortable on the bumpy mountain road, and he stayed up most of the night without sleep. Now he is not energetic, leaning lazily on the head of the bed, half-closed his eyelids, not wanting to move at all .

Qin Zhi also twisted the hot cloth towel from the copper basin, wiped his face lightly, washed his hands together, changed another cloth towel, wrung out the hot water again, and prepared to wash his muddy skin. The feet covered with grass ash and blood should also be cleaned.

In a daze, Le Zhiyu seemed to have noticed his movements, opened his eyes to look around, and hurriedly withdrew his feet back in a panic.

"Brother Qin, it's too dirty. I'll do it myself."

"do not move."

Qin Zhiyi didn't give him a chance to escape, he grabbed his slender ankle with his palm, put it on his leg, and cleaned up the dirt little by little with a cloth towel.

Le Zhiyu has never traveled far, and his feet are naturally well maintained, without a trace of calluses, and his skin is fair and delicate, like a piece of natural suet jade.

It's just that the wound cut by the bamboo strips is like a gap in the beautiful jade, which is particularly annoying and regrettable to look at.

Qin Zhi also lowered his eyes, took a little white ointment from the medicine bottle with his fingers, and dabbed it on the wound with gentle movements, as if he was afraid of hurting Le Zhiyu.

It is difficult for Le Zhiyu to describe his current mood.

The man in front of him, just now was full of murderous looks, with blood on his hands, as frightening as hell, but now he is calm all over, with lowered eyebrows, washing and applying medicine for him so gently and meticulously.

Such a huge contrast really makes people feel dangerous and addicted.

The coolness of the ointment mixed with the temperature of Qin Zhiyi's fingertips, just rubbing and walking on Le Zhiyu's feet, there was a strange numbness and slight tingling that seemed to go from bottom to top along the calf, like a spider spinning silk all the way It reached his heart, and it was tied into a knot.

Although he only spent a short time with Qin Zhiyi, Kele Zhiyu has already fully felt the respect and love he gives him, and he is not like a superficial person who just wants to take advantage of him for beauty.

If he finds out that I deliberately deceived and calculated him, besides anger and hatred, will he feel sad...

Thinking of this, Le Zhiyu was inexplicably upset, and even had the urge to tell the whole truth.

But fortunately, he still retained a bit of reason in his mind, which prevented him from being stupid in time.

"Ning Yuancheng" grew up on the bloody battlefield, so it is impossible for him to be a good man and a faithful woman. The kindness he treats Le Zhiyu now is based on the premise that he is a pure, innocent and pitiful person. Once it is found that he is playing tricks with other hypocrites People are no different, I'm afraid that the hand that is tenderly applying medicine to him at this moment will strangle his neck the next moment and kill him mercilessly.

Calm down, for the sake of the overall situation, I can't be impulsive, soft-hearted and affectionate are the most useless. Since ancient times, emperors have been unlucky, and Ning Yuancheng is destined to be my stepping stone...

As if trying to persuade himself, Le Zhiyu babbled the truth in his mind, reminding himself to be a ruthless person, otherwise he would lose his life, not to mention accomplishing great things.

Qin Zhi also didn't notice that Le Zhiyu was having a fierce ideological struggle there, and after carefully prescribing good medicine for him, he got up and stood up from the bed.

"You can't touch the water these days, and you can't eat spicy and greasy things. Don't wear shoes for now, so as not to rub off the medicine. After four or five days, you should be fine. You can sleep here for a while. I······"

"Where are you going?"

The more Le Zhiyu heard this, the more he felt that he was going to say goodbye and leave, he panicked, and before he finished speaking, he leaned out and grabbed his arm.

"You said you would take me with you, so you can't just keep your word!"

Qin Zhi also raised his eyebrows slightly, and shook the medicine bottle in his hand at him.

"I'm just going to put this on the table, and then go out and buy two sets of clothes and come back. You can't just go out to meet people in just a coat?"

It was only then that Le Zhiyu noticed that the underwear on his body was not to mention dirty, the belts were in disarray, the neckline was wide open, and the chain bones were leaking out. How could there be any dignity in such a disorganized manner?At first glance, he is not a decent person.

His face was inexplicably red, and he let go of Qin Zhiyi's arm awkwardly, and went to straighten his belt, intending to fasten it again.

But since he was a child, he was dressed and eaten by many servants who carefully served him, and he didn't even have to lift his fingers. How could he do such trivial things? , It's a mess, and I can't even untie it.

"Brother Qin, can you help me?"

Qin Zhi also glanced at him, but there was no look of disgust or displeasure on his face, he bent down and patiently untied the knot for him.

This is not the first time they have gotten so close, but when Le Zhiyu heard Qin Zhiyi's clear and shallow breathing close at hand, his heart still beat uncontrollably several times.

"Brother Qin, I know that I am useless and have many problems, but I will gradually correct it in the future. Don't think I'm a burden and don't leave me behind, okay..."

Qin Zhi also listened to Le Zhiyu's extremely guilty words, but his eyes were a little softer, his fingers didn't stop, he untied the knot for him and tied it again.

"You don't have to think about it, I won't regret it if I promise you."

After taking the reassurance, Le Zhiyu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and asked tentatively, "Brother Qin, where are we going from now on?"

Qin Zhi also closed his loose neckline with a calm tone.

"Lingxi."

Lingxi? !

Le Zhiyu was instantly excited when he heard these two words.

If he was still a little bit uncertain about Qin Zhiyi's identity yesterday, now the dust has settled and he firmly believes it.

This person is the famous Ning Yuancheng who holds 20 soldiers in his hands. I really didn't admit my mistake!

"To Lingxi? Good, good!"

He couldn't hold back the smile on his lips, even his eyes were shining.

"I heard Lingxi is a good place. I've been fascinated by it for a long time, and I've wanted to travel a long time ago. Now that I can go with Brother Qin on the same road, I have no regrets!"

"Oh?"

Qin Zhi also followed him and smiled.

"Then you may be disappointed. Lingxi is a frontier pass. It has always been desolate and deserted. The folk customs are barbaric. There are foreign invaders outside and rebels inside. There is no peaceful life all year round. It is definitely not something to enjoy. Great place with a view.”

Surprised that he seemed to have said the wrong thing again, Le Zhiyu coughed, quickly put away the joy on his face, and sighed vaguely.

"I say it's a good place precisely because it's far enough away, remote enough, full of turbulence and adventure, which I haven't seen and experienced before, and I've been trapped in a small world for more than ten years , although there is no need to worry about food and clothing, wealth and leisure, but he has never enjoyed freedom like a prisoner. Now that he has the opportunity to come out and see the world, he naturally hopes to see a wider world like Lingxi."

Some half-truths and half-false words, but even Le Zhiyu himself was almost moved.

Even if it wasn't for the sake of Ning Yuancheng, he would actually like to visit Lingxi. In addition to gaining insight, another important reason is that many years ago, their ancestors of Dachu raised their troops from there and attacked the capital like a broken bamboo all the way. Sitting on the throne of the emperor, he can be regarded as revisiting his old place there for auspiciousness.

Qin Zhi also looked at Le Zhiyu's wet eyes due to emotion, fell silent for a moment, supported his shoulders with both hands and slowly lowered him down, let him lie on the soft pillow, and put the thin The quilt was pulled over and covered for him.

"You are tired, go to bed."

His voice was low, but it seemed to have a calming magic power, gently lingering in Le Zhiyu's ears, and Gou's drowsiness flooded up like a tide.

"When you wake up, I will take you there."
