last time

Chapter 29
Xiyu boiled water, soaked Li Xunchuan in the bathtub, and watched him from the sidelines.

Gu Zhao looked in through the curtain and said, "Why did you drink like this? Mister must be angry when he sees it."

Qi Du sighed, and Li Yanchuan drank like this. He had seen him bitten by Zhuo Ran miserably at that time, and Qi Du was still bleeding when he carried him back. ?”

Gu Zhao handed in the clean clothes and said, "That's not a gift, it's obviously brought back. How come the master is so nice to her."

"I don't think so." Qi Du said: "Master Hou, who has a clear distinction between love and hate, can keep Zhuo Ran and let her dance?"

"He's the business manager now." Gu Zhao took the medicine bowl handed over by the maid, and said, "It's almost on an equal footing with us, so the master shouldn't make things difficult for her."

Not long after Li Xunchuan woke up, Xiao Qijing and monk Luo Qiu came over.

Xiao Qijing watched as Li Yanchuan drank the medicine, and said, "Who told you to drink? You really are. You're quite capable when you drink like that and let a girl carry you back."

It wasn't until Li Xunchuan realized who the "girl" was referring to, he smiled and said, "It's because I was too drunk."

Shang Luoqiu slapped Li Yuchuan heavily, and said: "You brat, if you don't learn well, what's the point of spending all day in the flower building?"

Li Xunchuan was beaten and his back hurt, but he couldn't reach it, so he could only say in a muffled voice, "She's not from Hualou."

Shang Luoqiu patted him on the back lightly again, and said: "No one is watching, you have to be more careful, Gaodu is not safe."

Li Xunchuan nodded.

Xiao Qijing said: "Yesterday you were not here. Ye Ji and Yi Dong's Chief Envoy Huo Jie had already arrived in Gaodu at night. You will be able to see them this morning when you go to court."

Li Xunchuan was wearing clothes and didn't even wash his face. He grabbed a steamed bun and rushed to court.As soon as he left the house, he suddenly remembered that he didn't take anything, so he hurried back to get it.

"What did you do?" Xiao Qijing asked immediately.

Li Xunchuan smiled and said, "It's nothing."

After the court, Yan Chengxuan didn't leave, Zhuo Ran walked over slowly while stepping on the water under the steps, saluted, and said, "Lord Yan."

Yan Chengxuan didn't dare to talk to her about anything else, he said: "I checked, and a few days before the battle at Luxi, Liao Ze was not in Gaodu."

Zhuo Ran's expression sank immediately, and he said, "Where did he go?"

Yan Chengxuan said: "I don't know. There is no detailed record in the record room, it only says that he was on leave due to illness, but I asked the jailer, and Liao Ze did not show up in Gaodu in those few days."

Zhuo Ran blinked her eyes and thought for a while, then said, "Thank you, Lord Yan."

Yan Chengxuan never understood why Zhuo Ran wanted to investigate Liao Ze. He said, "On the eve of the battle at Boxi? Do you suspect that Liao Ze killed your father?"

Zhuo Ran raised her eyes and said with a smile: "He doesn't have the ability to harm my father, I just ask."

Yan Chengxuan said: "I do know that your father promoted Liao Zeduo in the army, but in the end Liao Ze quit because of his own illness, and it was your father who interceded for him and let him go to prison. He really had no reason to do so. Do."

Zhuo Ran changed her smile and said, "Thank you, Lord Yan."

Yan Chengxuan waved his hand and said, "No need."

After seeing off Yan Chengxuan, Zhuo Ran turned around and saw Li Xunchuan.

Li Xunchuan smiled and waved to her, Zhuo Ran walked over slowly and said, "The governor seems to be quite sober today."

Li Xunchuan smiled wickedly and said, "Thanks to you."

Zhuo Ran raised her eyebrows and said, "You can't talk nonsense, as if I have something to do with the governor."

"It's all a fateful friendship, why are you still so lucky?" Li Yanchuan looked at her and thought of the rabbit sachet, he took out the sachet from his sleeve, handed it to her, and said, "Here, your rabbit. "

Zhuo Ran's eyes lit up, she took the sachet and hung it on her waist, then took out the ring and gave it to Li Xunchuan, saying: "It returns to its original owner."

Li Xunchuan put the ring on his little finger, and now the feeling of habit came back. He rubbed his little finger and smiled with satisfaction.

Zhuo Ran looked at him and said, "If I had known this, I should have pawned it, so that I could earn some money."

Li Xunchuan snorted and said, "Then I will pawn you off and redeem it back."

He was tall, and the way he leaned over to look at Zhuo Ran looked like he was bullying someone from a distance, Shang Luoqiu saw them both as soon as he came down.

"Ah!" Shang Luoqiu said.

Li Xunchuan turned around, helped Shang Luoqiu down the steps, and said, "Master."

Shang Luoqiu said while walking: "This person is..."

Li Xunchuan said: "Master, she is Zhuo Ting's daughter Zhuo Ran."

Shang Luoqiu looked at Zhuo Ran carefully, and said to her: "Yesterday you were the one who sent Ah Yang back, didn't you, did this brat make things difficult for you?"

Zhuo Ran immediately said: "The governor didn't embarrass his humble post, he just happened to pass by."

Shang Luoqiu looked at Li Yuchuan and said, "Master can't control you in many things, but you can't bully anyone you see. I think this child is weak, so don't torment him."

Li Xunchuan reluctantly let out a "huh".

Shang Luoqiu said to Zhuo Ran: "It seems that you are a good boy, do things well in the future, this kid will not make things difficult for you. I heard that you are very talented and academic, who is your master?"

Before Zhuo Ran could reply, Li Yuchuan said, "Master, you know her master."

Zhuo Ran's heart trembled.

"It's Zhou Yu." Li Yanchuan said.

Zhuo Ran looked at him, and Li Yuchuan continued: "A talented woman from Yongzhou, Master must be a famous person."

Shang Luoqiu nodded, and said: "I have met Zhou Yu before. He is a talent, but he doesn't have a deep relationship with him. But if Han Congzhong is here, this kid will definitely become a great weapon."

Shang Luoqiu ignored Zhuo Ran and turned around to talk to Li Xunchuan.

"You have to stay here for a few more days. Your brother-in-law will take care of the affairs in Beili, and take good care of yourself in Gaodu." Shang Luoqiu asked earnestly.

Li Xunchuan nodded repeatedly.

"Also, Huo Jie, the chief envoy of Yidong, reported the situation of Yidong Port just now, saying that the recovery is too late, and the ice on the port has not melted, which has delayed a lot of business. This year, the business of Yidong Port is not good."

Li Xunchuan said: "There is no other way. If other waterways are blocked, Yidong will naturally have no way to continue his business."

……

Zhuo Ran who was behind didn't listen, she took advantage of Shang Luoqiu's words and took a good look at him for Han Congzhong.

Shang Luoqiu followed Li Yuchuan and got into the carriage first, before Xiao Qijing and Ye Ji came out. Xiao Qijing stopped and saw Zhuo Ran standing there, as if waiting for someone.

Ye Ji patted the robe and said, "What are you looking at?"

Xiao Qijing pointed at Zhuo Ran and said, "Look."

"That's... Zhuo Ran?" Ye Ji said.

Xiao Qijing nodded and said, "Ah-Yun drank too much last night, she was the one who sent Ah-Yu back."

Ye Ji looked at it from a distance and said, "It's too weak, it looks like it could fall down when the wind blows, so it doesn't look like Zhuo Ting at all."

Xiao Qijing shook his head, and said: "She is born with deficiencies, her body is weak, and she has been severely tortured by Gaodu, it is not bad to be alive."

Ye Ji walked down side by side with him, and when she got to Zhuo Ran's side, she looked at the man and bowed, Ye Ji whispered, "I don't have airs like a general."

Xiao Qijing smiled and said: "She is a talented woman from Yongzhou, how can she be like you, wielding knives and guns all day long to defend the country?"

Ye Ji shrugged her shoulders and said, "In the future, I will definitely find someone who is not weak, who can withstand fists."

Xiao Qijing got on the horse and left with Ye Ji.

It took Liu Yulin a long time to come out, Zhuo Ran was waiting for him, Liu Yulin said: "Why don't you go to the harem, why don't you use it when you have privileges?"

Zhuo Ran said: "Just hang up the waist badge, it's better to restrain yourself."

Liu Yulin sighed and said, "Once these people leave, Gaodu will be deserted again."

Zhuo Ran looked up at the sky and said, "With fewer people, it's easier to do things."

"That's true." Liu Yulin nodded.

***
It has been raining again and again for the past few days, Xi Qi and Yi Donglai reported the situation and left Gaodu.

Xiao Ziyi refused to eat, just hugged Li Yuchuan and said, "I want my uncle."

Li Xunchuan patted him on the back lightly, and said, "Yi'er, good boy, uncle will come back to Beili to see you in a few days, okay?"

Xiao Ziyi shook his head, hugged Li Yuchuan tightly, and said, "I don't want it."

Xiao Qijing hugged Xiao Ziyi and said, "Does Yi'er want a father or an uncle?"

Xiao Ziyi stretched out his hand to Li Yuchuan and said, "I want my little uncle."

Li Xunchuan smiled helplessly, had to hug him again, and said, "Okay. Then uncle puts you to sleep, and when I wake up, I will teach Yi'er how to ride a horse."

The child was also sleepy, and quickly fell asleep holding Li Xunchuan.

Xiao Qijing asked Qi Du to hug Xiao Ziyi, and said, "Ah, now Qi Du looks more and more like you. He has done a very good job. We will watch Beili for you and wait for you to come back."

Li Xunchuan took a few deep breaths, took a break, picked up the cloak bought by Xiyu, wrapped it around Xiao Ziyi, and said, "Brother-in-law take good care of my sister and myself, I will go back."

Shang Luoqiu got out of the carriage, looked at Li Yuchuan right in front of the carriage, and said, "Ah, Master is gone."

Li Xunchuan ran forward and hugged Shang Luoqiu, he closed his eyes heavily, but didn't leave any tears on his cheeks, he could only hold back his choked voice and said, "Master, take care."

Looking at the sky, Shang Luoqiu deeply felt that it was not Li Yanchuan who was holding her, but the eagle who hadn't come home for a long time, shivering in her arms, but Shang Luoqiu couldn't give him what he wanted.A lot of words are said, which unintentionally produces a counter-effect, although the wording is orderly.

It is said that the world is impermanent, but I don't know if the description is appropriate at this moment.

Shang Luoqiu stretched out his hands and rubbed Li Yuchuan's hair, and said, "Okay brat, it's late at night, let's go back."

Only then did Li Xunchuan let go of his hand.

Ye An danced, he knelt down by the lights of the Wanjia lights, kowtowed three times, and headed toward the carriage towards Beili.When he raised his head again, he found that those people had already disappeared in the hustle and bustle of the night, but what was left to him was boundless loneliness and emptiness.

Li Xunchuan didn't go back to his residence, but stepped on the ruts of the carriage, walking ahead step by step.

Step by step, it's all painstaking effort.

Is it possible to reach Beili by walking?

He was very depressed at first, but fortunately, Li Xunchuan caught Zhuo Ran who was running around outside.

Li Xunchuan looked very uninterested, Zhuo Ran knew why, and it was not the first time she saw him like this.

Zhuo Ran was blocked, she looked up at him and said, "You probe very deeply."

Li Xunchuan knew that what she was talking about was about Zhou Yu, but what he and Shang Luoqiu said were ambiguous.

"It's not difficult to find out, and Fu Sisi is not here." Li Yanchuan said with a smile.

"So." Zhuo Ran clasped his hands and said, "Your master and mine are both one of the five masters, do you want to recognize relatives?"

Li Xunchuan said, "It's not impossible."

Zhuo Ran snorted softly, and the two were silent for a while.Li Xunchuan tilted his head and said, "That day I saw that your kung fu is not bad, who did you learn from?"

Zhuo Ran said: "My father."

"Blow again." Li Yuchuan stared at her and said, "I've seen Zhuo Ting's kung fu, it's not like yours at all, but it's not quite like Zhou Yu's."

Zhuo Ran ignored him.

Li Xunchuan looked down at Zhuo Ran, and said, "Just say it if you don't want to. It's late at night, why don't you go home."

Zhuo Ran whispered, "I'm afraid of wolves."

Li Xunchuan smiled and said, "Are you satisfied now?"

"Satisfied," Zhuo Ran looked up at him, and said, "The governor is stuck here with me, I'm not at a loss."

Li Xunchuan seemed to like to push people close to the corner, so Zhuo Ran was trapped in a small space by him. Li Xunchuan approached and said, "Do you think you are free? You know why the emperor suddenly gave you a promotion. You don't want to do it now." Are you also treated like a dog?"

Zhuo Ran suppressed her smile, and she said: "Your situation is worse than mine, your personal grievances with the emperor have involved Beili, your master loves you, try another person, I wish you would die sooner! "

"Aren't you that person?" Li Yuchuan said.

"That's a good guess." Zhuo Ran said, "I don't understand, you offended so many people, why should you ask others to take the blame for you? You are here to enjoy yourself, have you ever thought of others!"

"You have the face to accuse me?" Li Yuchuan said with a hoarse voice, "You have made a fortune now, but what about those people in Yongzhou, they are all watching you from the ground!"

"But what did I do wrong?" Zhuo Ran asked back: "What did my father do wrong? Everyone can use this to slander the Zhuo family, so what can I do?"

Li Xunchuan said, "You deserve to die."

Zhuo Ran laughed and said, "But I don't want to die."

Li Xunchuan let her out, Zhuo Ran stood up straight, and said, "We listen to each other."

Zhuo Ran said in a muffled voice, "I'll listen to you."

Li Xunchuan nodded and said, "If you are enlightened, follow me."

Zhuo Ran smiled, raised her voice, and said, "What else does the governor want to do at this late hour?"

Li Xunchuan frowned at her and said, "Go and have a long talk on my couch, it's too cold to stand here."

Zhuo Ran took a few steps back and said, "The governor wants a beauty night talk, so I'll go find it right away, and I'll forget it."

Li Xunchuan grabbed her arm, ignored her resistance, and said, "Once a word is said, it is hard to follow. If you say you want to listen to me, you must listen to me."
