Xiaosong felt that he still couldn't let go of his hatred, so he went to the study room, and threw the picture of hibiscus reflecting water drawn by Li Qinghe into the fire. Anyway, his master said that he would not keep anything, he snorted coldly, and nodded his head. He walked out of the general's mansion without returning.

Gu Tingfeng looked at the painting that was thrown in, and rushed over like crazy, completely ignoring the burning fire, and stretched out his hand in the fire to take out the painting that was about to burn out.

The painting has been burnt beyond recognition, and only a residual corner can be vaguely seen to be a hibiscus flower.

"Brother Gu, you are injured," Mu Ran grabbed Gu Tingfeng and tried to bandage him.

Gu Tingfeng seemed to be unable to feel the pain. He withdrew his hand and hugged the painting to his chest. He suddenly laughed wildly, as if possessed by a demon, "Li Qinghe, Li Qinghe, for the past three years, I have always thought that you He is a soft-hearted person, so it turned out that I was wrong, don't you even keep a little thought? You hate me so much?"

Gu Tingfeng finally knew clearly that what he respected as a guest and what he didn't care about were all lies. In fact, he had long been tempted and possessed, but he understood too late, a mouthful of blood spewed out of Gu Tingfeng's mouth, before he fell down , looking desperately at the pile of ruins that was about to turn into ashes, he knew that he regretted it, and he should have understood his intentions earlier, so that maybe he and Li Qinghe would not have come to where they are today.

After finishing what Li Qinghe told Xiaosong, Xiaosong felt that he finally let out a sigh of relief. Before going back, he went to Nancheng and set fire to the tea house that Gu Tingfeng gave to Li Qinghe. Just burned the account room.

Li Qinghe listened to Xiaosong describing to himself how ugly Gu Tingfeng's expression was at that time, he didn't need to think about it, he knew that it was strange for a proud person like Gu Tingfeng to make people feel so aggrieved.

But Li Qinghe didn't want to take revenge, he just wanted to go clean. They have reconciled, so it means that they will have no relationship in the future. should disappear together.

"Xiaosong, we will leave in five days." Li Qinghe doesn't want to stay in Chang'an for a moment now. Although the emperor didn't send troops to control them and allowed him to heal his wounds before leaving, he really didn't want to leave again. Get along with Gu Tingfeng on the same piece of land.

"No, your injury is not healed yet, what if there is another mistake along the way?"

"My injury is fine, go tell your parents and let them prepare." Li Qinghe called Xiaosong to him, and said earnestly, "Xiaosong, Hu Shuo is actually not bad, but the border crossing is too hard. Either you stay, or you go to Luoyang to find my master, no matter what, I don't want to hurt you."

"I don't want it, how can this be a burden, master, we grew up together, I can't do without you, the master and wife treat me like my own son, I can't go to enjoy the blessing by myself at this time."

Li Qinghe sighed, he knew this kid was dying, so he didn't try to persuade him at all, "Okay, then let's go together as a family."

Five days later, the Li family embarked on a journey northward. As soon as they left Chang'an City, a fast horse caught up. The man tightened the reins and stopped in front of Li Qinghe's carriage.

When Xiao Song saw that the person was Shangguan Yu, the crown prince, he exclaimed, "Master, look who is coming!"

Li Qinghe was inconvenient, so he could only lie on his stomach halfway in the carriage. Although they had already found a larger carriage, it was still a bit crowded with three people in it, not to mention that there was an injured patient who was lying on his stomach.

He opened the corner of the carriage door curtain first, and saw Shangguan Yu looking at him with concern, "His Royal Highness, the criminal is inconvenient and cannot greet you." When Li Zhenqing and his wife saw the prince coming, they quickly got out of the car and gave Shangguan Yu hello.

Shangguan Yu helped Li Zhenqing and his wife up, "Lord Li, you don't need to be polite, I want to talk to Qinghe alone..."

Li Zhenqing and his wife glanced at each other, then took Xiaosongyou aside, leaving space for them.

"Are you okay? Why don't you leave after your injury is healed..."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern, but it's the same if you go early or late."

Shangguan Yu looked at Li Qinghe distressedly. If it weren't for him, Li Qinghe would not have been accused of Gu Tingfeng. He was in Yanzhou when the Li family died, and when he got the news and came back, the matter was a foregone conclusion.

"Qinghe, don't worry, just stay there for a while, and I will bring you back soon." Shangguan Yu took Li Qinghe's hand and held it tightly in his own, "Trust me .”

Li Qinghe withdrew his hand in embarrassment. It's not that he didn't understand Shangguan Yu's thoughts, but he couldn't, and he didn't like it. Shangguan Yu was the prince and would be the king of a country in the future. They had absolutely no chance. "Then Qinghe is here to thank His Highness first. If there is a destiny, let's see you in the future."

Called back the three people who were surprised a few meters away, said goodbye to Shangguan Yu again, and let Xiaosong drive away in the carriage.

Looking at the gradually disappearing carriage, Shangguan Yu felt for the first time in his life that being born in the royal family was such a misfortune that he couldn't even stay with his beloved forever.

Gu Tingfeng has been bedridden since he vomited blood that day. Emperor Shen knew about it and specially sent an imperial doctor to give him a diagnosis and treatment, but a few days passed and there was no effect.

The candlelight flickered at night, when Mu Ran cut the last candle wick, Gu Tingfeng suddenly got up from the bed, and walked out as if in a daze.

"Brother Gu, you're awake! Where are you going!"

Gu Tingfeng seemed to be deaf. He pushed aside Mu Ran and ran out quickly. It was raining lightly outside. He ran barefoot on the streets of Chang'an City, stepping on water splashes.

He ran to the door of Li Qinghe's house, and with a slight push, the door opened. There was no one in the desolate Shangshu Mansion. To see a living creature.

Gu Tingfeng shouted, "Didn't you say to heal your injury before you leave? Why didn't you wait for me, why didn't you even give me a chance to say goodbye... Li Qinghe... Li Qinghe... Li Qinghe..." But regardless of Gu Tingfeng No matter how he shouted, the only answer he could get was the gradually louder sound of falling rain.

Although it has just entered August, the weather becomes cooler as we go northwest. On the way, Li Qinghe's wound was infected twice, dragging his feet and bumping the road, it took them a full month to reach Hexi. city.

There are only a few green grasses on the desolate land. Due to the years of war in Hexi County, there has been no harvest. Women and children beggars can be seen everywhere on the street.

All kinds of pictures rushed before Li Qinghe's eyes, and he couldn't help sighing softly, "I don't know when this battle will end."

A group of people passed through the refugee group and came to the county government office. They thought that there would be a pure land in the county government office, but they didn't expect that the lobby of the county government office was already full of old and weak women and children. Come and make beds for refugees.

Xiao Song's jaw dropped in shock, "Is this still the county government office?"

At this moment, a yamen servant carrying a child came over and asked, "Who are you?"

"My servant, Li Zhenqing, is a soldier who has just been transferred. He came here to communicate with the customs. Please also show us the way to Yumen Pass."

"A lieutenant at such an age?"

What the yamen servant said made Li Zhenqing feel a little ashamed, "Please do me a favor."

The yamen servant also realized that he said he missed it. The people who came to them either committed a crime or were demoted. He also guessed from the appearance of Li Zhenqing's family, "Wait a minute, everyone, I will call us in the backyard." County Lord."

The yamen servant skillfully coaxed and hugged the child, and after a while, he brought back a man under the age of 30. The man's face was stained with ashes, and he came to them, "Ahem, this officer is Wei Xiheng, the magistrate of Hexi County. "He took the customs clearance document handed over by Li Qinghe, and stamped his official seal on it.

"Oh, by the way, who is that, Xiao Zhao, you take them with you,"

At this moment, Xiao Zhao was feeding medicine to the immobile old man. Hearing this, he quickly handed the medicine bowl in his hand to the person next to him, "Oh, well, I've got a good job."

"You kid, don't let me wander around. If you don't come back before dark, see if I beat you up." After explaining everything, Wei Xiheng slipped into the backyard again, muttering as he walked, "It's over, the food has to be mushy again."

Xiao Song couldn't help laughing, he asked Xiao Zhao, "Is this really a county government office? I think it's like a vegetable market."

"Tsk, don't talk nonsense." Li Qinghe knocked Xiaosong on the head with a document, and warned him with his eyes, telling him to stop talking nonsense, "I'm sorry, my brother is outspoken, please forgive me."

"Cough! What's the matter? In fact, our county magistrate has a good heart. Those who can't be moved and need to be taken care of are taken to the county government. In fact, there is nothing wrong with it. With our county magistrate's salary, we can't even eat. Not enough."

"Hexi County is directly under Gansu, so there is no one to help?"

"Hey, they can't even take care of themselves, so they don't have time to supervise us, but you have to be careful when you go to Yumen Pass. The Japanese pirates have been coming here every day for the past two days, and they are not at all uneasy."

Li Qinghe saw that everyone in the Hexi County Yamen, including the county magistrate Wei, was a genuinely good person. He smiled and said, "Thank you, brother Zhao, for your instructions."

Hexi County is only an hour's journey away from Yumen Pass. After Xiao Zhao led them there, he hurried back.

A lean, dark-skinned man came to meet him at the city gate, "Are you the old man who was said to come to work?"

Well, it's fine if this person doesn't speak, but when he speaks, he looks particularly in need of a beating.

"Hey, what are you talking about!" Xiao Song has a bad temper, as he has been since childhood.If anyone rushes to mess with the Li family, he will beat him until he doesn't even know his mother.

"Xiaosong! Go to the back." Li Qinghe pulled Xiaosong, who was about to fight at any time, to the back.

"Under Li Qinghe, my father is a soldier who came here to work, but my father is old, can it be convenient for me to replace my father?"

"Cut, that's fine. I can't wait for the old man to be replaced by a young man, but what can you do with an embroidered pillow? Can you pick up a basket of stones?" Yang Qianyuan snorted at Li Qinghe. The sour scholar who has the power to come is also free.
