Chapter 203

The alley was lined with residential houses in an orderly manner on both sides. Some of the houses had faint flickering candles lit inside, and dim, swaying lanterns hung at the doorways, making the alley, which was originally pitch black and difficult to distinguish the path, a little brighter.

The two walked along the winding road, turning left and right, and finally arrived at the gate of a small and exquisite house.

Qin Yiran raised his hand and knocked lightly on the courtyard door, and whispered, "It's me."

There was no sound of inquiry from inside the courtyard, and the door opened immediately.

A figure appeared at the door, and after seeing the person coming, he couldn't help but show astonishment: "Mr. Dalang? And...Mrs. Ying?"

Liu Yingyue looked carefully and found that the person in front of her was the shopkeeper Qian, who had known Qiu Shuixian for many years in the market street.

She smiled and nodded to the other party, saying, "So Manager Qian is here too."

Shopkeeper Qian quickly glanced at Qin Yiran, then silently closed the gate and led the two into the main room.

After the three of them were seated, Qin Yiran said, "Old Qian, go to Laifu Inn immediately and bring Hongzhu there. Also, arrange for someone to escort Lady Ying and Hongzhu to leave Xuzhou City safely."

"Yes, sir." Manager Qian nodded respectfully, then stood up, opened the gate and left.

The candlelight flickered in the house, illuminating the entire room.

Liu Yingyue looked carefully and finally saw Qin Yiran's slightly haggard face.

She couldn't help but reach out her hand, gently stroked his cheek, and said distressedly: "You've lost a lot of weight."

The once leisurely young farmer has now gone through the baptism of war and become a decisive general.

His eyes became firm and sharp, as if he had experienced a lot of vicissitudes of life.

Liu Yingyue's heart was shocked, and suddenly she felt that Qin Yiran in front of her became so unfamiliar.

Qin Yiran's eyes flickered slightly, staring at Liu Yingyue, and asked: "Why did you come here instead of staying in the village?" Liu Yingyue smiled and explained: "I haven't heard from you for a long time, and I was really worried. So I asked my second brother, and he told me that you were in Xuzhou, but he refused to reveal your exact location. I had no choice but to come here in person to look for you. I didn't expect that my luck was so good. I just arrived in Xuzhou yesterday, and I saw you tonight."

After saying that, she held Qin Yiran's hand tightly and pleaded expectantly, "I don't want to leave, just let me stay with you, okay?"

However, Qin Yiran still shook his head firmly and replied, "No, the city is too dangerous." He turned his head to look outside the house and said solemnly, "According to reliable intelligence, a mutiny will occur in Xuzhou City within three days. It is too risky for you to stay here."

Seeing that he was determined to send her away, Liu Yingyue was worried that her insistence would make him unhappy, so she had to say, "Okay, I'll leave. I came to see you. I hope you're okay."

She smiled faintly.

Qin Yiran saw her tone soften, so he walked over and held her in his arms, "After a few days, when the north is peaceful, I will take you to the capital. Right now, the south is the safest place."

Liu Yingyue leaned her head on his chest and said, "Okay."

She came to find Qiu Shuixian. If Qiu Shuixian was fine, she would be fine too.

Now that the mission is accomplished, she can leave.

She said she wanted to stay with Qin Yiran simply because she didn't want him to think she was too cold. It was not logical for her to leave without saying a single warm word after not seeing him for several months.

As the old saying goes, a short absence is better than a new marriage.

Liu Yingyue's small hands wrapped around Qin Yiran's waist, which soon made him angry, "Yingyue..."

Qin Yiran grabbed Liu Yingyue's hand and went into the bedroom.

The door closed and a barrage of kisses came over me.

"Yingyue, you have to be obedient..."
