The hem of Chu He's tide clothes was dripping with water, and there were wet footprints every step of the way.

He was followed by seven or eight soldiers, and the head in his hand was covered with hair all over his face, leaving water all over the floor.

Yuan Li opened his eyes wide and stared at him blankly.Before the worries dissipated, surprise rushed to my heart.

Yang Zhongfa was overjoyed: "General!"

There was still mud on Chu Hechao's face, and his hair was messy. Seeing that they were eating, he stopped two steps in front of the dining table, smiled at them, "I'm back."

He looked tired and haggard, but his eyes were as sharp and clear as a tiger's and wolf's. He had an unshaven beard. Although he looked embarrassed when he came in the rain, the tall figure stood there like a pinnacle of calmness, which made people feel at ease.

Yuan Li looked at him up and down, seeing that he was all bearded, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Just come back."

He glanced hastily at the head in Chu Hechao's hand.

This should be Li Li's head.

In the past, if the mission was completed, the system would immediately notify Yuanli, just like when Wu Kai successfully suppressed the bandits.But this time Chu Hechao had clearly killed Li Li, yet the system still didn't make a sound.It seemed that according to the system's judgment, Chu Hechao's killing of Li Li could not be regarded as Yuanli's completion of the mission.

Yuanli thought about the result, although he was a little disappointed, it was good that he was fine.

"Ah."

Chu Hechao responded, and turned his eyes to Yuanli twice.

I haven't seen him for a few days, he has lost weight, his face is a little tired, and he looks a little tired.

He looked away at Yang Zhongfa, "Are you here to support me?"

"Yes, Master Yuan is afraid that you will meet Wu Shanshi's army, General," Yang Zhongfa said happily, "Fortunately, you are fine and have returned safely."

Chu Hechao listened quietly, gave the head in his hand to the soldiers, walked to the table and sat down, straightened his back, and calmly said: "I did meet Wu Shanshi's army."

Yuan Li, Yang Zhongfa and the others looked at him in shock when they heard the words.

Chu Hechao pulled his lips, "But I didn't confront them. Wu Shanshi also came here to chase and kill Li Li, but he brought too many infantry, not as fast as my cavalry. I didn't meet Wu Shanshi until I caught Li Li and returned. My sentry cavalry spotted their army ahead of time. The disparity in strength was too great, so I left behind Li Li's useless baggage and led the cavalry to bypass Wu Shanshi's army with only Li Li and his gold, silver and jewels."

"Wait," Yuan Li's eyes lit up, "You brought Li Li back? Who's the head you're carrying?"

Chu Hechao turned his head to look at the soldiers.

The personal soldier picked up the head and wiped the hair away, revealing a pale and astonished face.

Yuan Li had never seen this person before, he frowned and said, "Who is this person?"

"There is a counselor named Wang Yun next to Wu Shanshi." Chu Hechao propped his hands on his lap and spoke slowly, "Although I led the cavalry to stagger with Wu Shanshi's army, I couldn't take it lightly, so I sent sentry cavalry to follow behind secretly. Behind Wu Shanshi's army, let's see if they will chase up, who knows, he saw Wu Shanshi angrily killed his adviser."

Chu Hechao pursed his lips and said: "It should be Wu Shanshi who saw my abandoned Li Li's convoy and his dead private soldiers, and knew that Li Li had been intercepted and killed first, so he was so angry that he killed him." The counselor who suggested to him that he could pretend to conspire with Li Li... My sentry cavalry saw this scene, and as soon as Wu Shanshi left, he brought this human head to me. I don't know if this head is useful, so he brought it back to me. Take a look."

"This Wu Shanshi..." Yuan Li couldn't help shaking his head and said, "He's more impulsive than I imagined..."

As for Wang Yun's head, Yuan Li was thoughtful, perhaps there was room for it to be used.

But suddenly, the tip of Yuanli's nose twitched, and his expression changed, "Are you injured?"

Chu Hechao said without changing his face: "No."

Yuan Li sniffed again, suspicious, "But I smell blood."

"It should be the blood from that head, or maybe the blood splashed on my body by someone I killed." Chu Hechao propped himself up on the table and got up, "I'm going to change my clothes, so you won't be able to smell it."

Yuan Li thought that Chu Hechao would cry out for pain even if his arm was stabbed by the bed board, so he didn't think much about it: "Okay, go and change your clothes quickly, don't catch a cold. Don't rush to take a bath, take a bath after eating .”

Chu Hechao responded, called Yang Zhongfa and asked a few words outside the door.

What he asked was nothing more than what happened in Luoyang these days, whether Yuanli was in danger, did he eat well, what did he do every day, and whether he was energetic.

Before Chu Hechao left, Yang Zhongfa was ordered in the face of danger, and took over the important task of looking after Yuanli for him.Yang Zhongfa remembered clearly these days, and told Chu Hechao one thing.

Chu Hechao listened patiently. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Yuanli in the dining room. The young man was covered with a layer of candlelight. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that he was thinner. "Looks thinner."

Yang Zhongfa had goosebumps, and felt that he and his mother-in-law were not so nervous when they first got married.He was also afraid that he would be scolded by Chu Hechao, so he held back his words, "Master Yuan is too busy and worried about the general, so he didn't have a good meal..."

Chu Hechao stood for a while, and said, "Okay, you can go back."

After about a quarter of an hour, Chu Hechao changed his clothes and came back.

Yuan Li had already asked someone to reheat the meal, and when he saw him coming, he asked casually, "Why are you so slow changing clothes?"

Chu Hechao remained calm, "I'll send someone to imprison Li Li."

Yuan Li understood, "What are you going to do with him?"

The corners of Chu Hechao's mouth were slowly flattened, his eyes were deep, "I'm going to kill him in front of my parents' grave."

"Okay," Yuan Li said comfortingly, "this way we can properly worship the souls of the prince and his wife."

Chu Hechao reached out and pinned the hair on the side of his ear behind his ear, "Yes."

Seeing this scene, Zheng Rong couldn't help turning his head and sighing to Wu Kai: "The friendship between the lord and the general is really deep."

Wu Kai: "..."

He nodded stiffly.

In order to celebrate Chu Hechao's return, Yuanli asked the kitchen to cook a few more delicious dishes.But Chu Hechao only picked up a few nearby dishes and ate them, and didn't touch the faraway ones.Yuan Li felt strange, "Don't you usually like big fish and big meat? Why are you eating vegetarian food today?"

"For a change of appetite," Chu Hechao said casually, "This vegetarian food is also good."

Yuan Li frowned, gently put down the bowl and chopsticks, and stared straight at Chu Hechao.Those eyes pressed down on Chu Hechao's shoulders like a mountain.Chu Hechao quickly looked away for a moment, then turned back, and said patiently, "What's wrong?"

"Did you lie to me about something?" Yuan Li said firmly, "Chu Hechao, something is wrong with you."

Chu Hechao's mind tensed up, and he said vaguely, "No."

Yuan Li just looked at him quietly.

The young man's expression is not aggressive, and his eyes are so peaceful.But Chu Hechao felt a little afraid in his heart. He rubbed the center of his eyebrows and scolded himself in his heart for being a coward, how could he be afraid of his wife?But he coaxed in a low voice, "Go back to the room after dinner and tell me, okay? You've lost a lot of weight these days, so eat something to make up for it."

Yuan Li pursed his lips, straightened his pale lips, but didn't speak.

Chu Hechao said again: "I just can't hold on after running around for several days, so I can just go back and sleep."

Yuan Li stood up directly this time, "Chu Hechao, I told you before that you have to tell me the truth, I don't like it when you lie and perfunctory me. Go ahead and eat, I don't want to eat."

He turned around and wanted to leave, but Chu Hechao immediately grabbed him, but the movement was too big, the wound on his waist and abdomen opened, his face changed, and the smell of blood permeated.

Yuan Li looked back at him immediately, his expression became ugly, "You are really injured."

Chu Hechao held his hand tightly, "Small injury, it will heal in a few days."

Yuan Li's face was cloudy and uncertain, he didn't believe what he said at all, he turned his head and sternly said to Lin Tian: "Hurry up and call for a doctor."

He also asked the servant to prepare hot water and fine cloth for dressing the wound, and hurriedly found a room for Chu Hechao to lie on the bed, "Lie down and don't move, let me see the wound."

Chu Hechao lay down obediently, keeping his eyes on Yuanli's face, "Don't be angry."

Yuan Li pursed her lips tightly and ignored him.He quickly untied Chu Hechao's robe and saw that the fine cloth wrapped around his waist and abdomen was already soaked with blood, and Chu Hechao's chest was painfully dripping with cold sweat.

Just like this, still want to pretend nothing happened?

Yuan Li was about to laugh angrily.With anger burning in his heart, he carefully removed the fine cloth with a cold face, and asked, "What kind of injury did you suffer?"

They've all been discovered, and there's no point in hiding it anymore, Chu Hechao said honestly, "Sword wound."

After he finished speaking, the muslin was gone, and a slap-sized knife wound savagely lay across Chu Hechao's waist and abdomen, oozing blood little by little with Chu Hechao's breathing.

The knife wound was terrifying, and Yuan Li's face turned dark. He took a deep breath and checked professionally. The person who did it must have stabbed Chu Hechao to death. Fortunately, Chu Hechao hid in time. After the past, the stabbing is not so deep.

But even so, it can be seen how critical the situation was at the time.

Chu Hechao raised his hand and touched Yuan Li's side face, his lips were blue, he was still smiling, and he comforted him in a hoarse voice, "My life is hard, I'm fine."

"Don't talk," Yuan Li said immediately, "I don't want to talk to you now."

He was unhappy, very unhappy.

Not only was he unhappy because the man was injured, but he was also unhappy because he had come here in the rain with such a serious injury, and was planning to hide it from him and pretend nothing happened.

Yuan Li held back his stomach, and was so angry that he felt uncomfortable.

He didn't look at Chu Hechao, but looked at Chu Hechao's soldiers coldly, "Tell me, how did your general get the knife wound?"

The soldiers looked at Chu Hechao in embarrassment.

Chu Hechao nodded slightly, and then the guards opened their mouths to say the foreword and consequences, "In order to be able to chase Li Li in time, the general and we both took off our armor and ran thousands of miles to catch up with him. But when Li Li was captured alive However, the general was stabbed by Li Li with a hidden dagger."

After hearing this, Yuan Li didn't show any expression, but the corners of his mouth were pressed deeper, silently cleaning up the blood around the knife wound.

When the disease doctor arrived, he had already bandaged Chu Hechao.

In fact, it doesn’t matter if the doctor arrives in time. Yuan Li is a studious person. After the system released the medical book as a reward, Yuan Li has been studying the content of the medical book. After all, life-saving knowledge can only be learned best by himself. peace of mind.

He has achieved a small success now, not losing to any disease doctor specially trained by him.It's just that after seeing Chu Hechao injured, he subconsciously asked someone to call the doctor, but it was because he was in a panic and didn't feel at ease.

After reading it, the disease doctor nodded and said: "My lord's wound is bandaged very well. The general has survived the most dangerous days, and he just needs to rest slowly in the future."

Yuan Li said: "He still got the knife wound in the rain."

Doctor Ji was taken aback, and looked at Chu Hechao heartbroken, "General, you..."

But no matter how dissatisfied he was, he didn't dare to say it directly, he could only shake his head and sigh, and asked someone to boil the medicine for fever, and asked Chu Hechao to take it first.

By the time everything was packed, it was already late at night.

The sound of the rain outside was pattering, and the cool wind rushed in through the crack of the door.

After covering Chu Hechao with a quilt, Yuanli straightened up expressionlessly, and told the soldiers around Chu Hechao to watch him carefully.

Chu Hechao heard something wrong, "Where are you going?"

"Go back to my room," Yuan Li said, "I know you will be hurt and uncomfortable, and want me to be with you. But I'm very angry now, and I don't want to see you or talk to you tonight. Let's talk about what's going on tonight, I want to calm down and calm down."

With that said, Yuanli turned and left.

Chu Hechao didn't even have time to say anything, so he just watched him close the door.The man took a few rough breaths, the veins on his forehead tensed, and suddenly he slammed himself off the bed, his eyes were ruthless, and he cursed.

The soldiers were taken aback.

I thought the general was angry at Lord Tong Yuan, but looking at the general's expression, it seemed that he was angry with himself.

The soldiers looked at each other.

At a loss, General, what's wrong?
