Horse on the World

Chapter 193 An old friend comes on a snowy night (delivered in the middle of the night)

As soon as he went out from the warm house, the cold wind hit his face with snow particles, Li Qing shivered shiveringly, wrapped Da Mao tightly around his body, and walked with Tang Hu through the corner door one after the other. out.

The place where Qingfeng Jiyue lived was very close to the general's mansion, less than a mile away. Li Qing, who was a little bored in his heart, subconsciously wanted to take a look at the place where he and his sisters met. I have to say Li Qing doesn't like Qingfeng's current changes. He thinks Qingfeng is someone who led a group of dolls when he first met. She was a bit shy, a woman who made people feel pity and love at the first sight, instead of being as fierce as a sharp knife drawn out of its sheath.Although Qingfeng is still not much different from before in front of him, the occasional sharpness in his eyes let Li Qing know that Qingfeng is no longer what it used to be.Li Qing knew that many of his subordinates were afraid of Qingfeng.

For the change of Qingfeng, Li Qing has a great responsibility. Letting a woman take charge of such a powerful and dark department, no matter who she is, her temperament will change. She left scars that would never heal, she fell in love with herself but couldn't enter the family room, she held power but was suspicious of her confidantes, and the official wife who was about to pass the door had a great reputation in Dachu, so she desperately wanted a better life. Protecting herself from getting hurt, the more she thinks about this, the more she wants to have a greater say in Dingzhou, and the more she wants to gain more power, the more she is rejected by Shang Haibo and others. Suspicion, thus suppressing her from all aspects, actually formed a vicious circle.

The snow is still falling. From the snowflakes during the day to the snow seeds at this time, God seems to give the state a colder winter. The snow on the ground is frozen hard, and when you step on it, it makes a creaking sound , Li Qing didn't seem to notice anything, some things related to Qingfeng were always circling in his mind, how can we alleviate this situation?Li Qing is extremely distressed, at least for now, it seems that there is no solution, maybe as time goes by, Qingfeng will find that her worry is unnecessary, but I don't know what kind of woman Qingcheng is, and when the time comes, Can Qingcheng really tolerate Qingfeng? If the two women are incompatible, then it will be a big trouble.

Of course Tang Hu didn't know what was going on in Li Qing's mind, he followed Li Qing cautiously, with one eye scanning around, and his hand tightly holding the knife handle.

Qingfeng's former residence was right in front of him, Li Qing stopped, looked at the lights in the wooden house, and let out a sigh. This small wooden house was the place where Qingfeng Jiyue and his sisters used to live, and the big one in front The house was the former school, after Qingfeng Jiyue left, did anyone live in this log cabin again?Li Qing felt a little displeased, how does this Jie Wei do things?
"Marshal, there are people in the room!" Tang Hu said, "I'll go and take a look first!"

Li Qing shook his head, "No, I just came over to have a look, don't disturb the people inside."

Walking a few steps closer, through the window lattice, one can vaguely see a figure sitting by the window, looking at that figure, it is also a woman, and there is a very low but melodious singing voice in her ears.

The reeds are green, and the white dew is frost.The so-called Iraqis are on the water side.Follow it back, the road is blocked, and follow it back, like in the middle of the water.The reeds are luxuriant, but the dew is not yet.The so-called Yi people are in the Mee of the water.Go back and follow it, the road is blocked and step in, go back and follow it, just like being in the water.The reeds are picking, and the white dew is not yet there. The so-called Iraqi people are in the middle of the water.Follow it back, the road is blocked and right, follow it back, like in the water.

Li Qing was startled when he heard the singing, the singing sound was so familiar, it seemed to be the voice of Qingfeng's younger sister, Jiyue, he walked two steps closer, and listened carefully, the woman in the room seemed to be sewing with a flying needle reading something, but kept singing this poem over and over again.

It was Jiyue, Li Qing heard it very clearly this time, didn't Jiyue go to Dingzhou, why did she return to Sui County, no wonder there were people in this small wooden house, Li Qing suddenly realized.But it is very strange, why does Jiyue sing this song all the time? Although this song has a beautiful melody, it describes a frustrated infatuated person, his longing for the person he loves far away, his longing for pursuit and disappointment, his melancholy mood and his hopelessness. Jiyue's psychological feelings are a very sad poem, who does Jiyue like?Who is that man who makes Jiyue feel that he is out of reach?

Tang Hu also came up together, and after listening to it again, Tang Hu suddenly said: "Commander, it seems to be Miss Jiyue's voice!" Tang Hu's voice was always high, Li Qing just wanted to stop it, but a low voice came from the room. Exclaiming, the singing stopped immediately, Li Qing stared at Tang Hu angrily, Tang Hu stuck out his tongue, and retracted his head.

The window was suddenly pushed open, and Jiyue appeared at the window, "Who is it?" She had just opened her mouth when she suddenly realized that it was Li Qing standing by her window.

"Big guy!"

Li Qing was a little embarrassed. In the middle of the night, he touched the window of a little girl's house to listen to her singing. It was really not a good thing to spread the word. Seeing Jiyue's big eyes staring at him He had no choice but to nod, "Jiyue, didn't you go to Dingzhou? Why are you here?"

Jiyue's face darkened, she hesitated to speak, a gust of wind blew, and she, who was dressed thinly in the room, shivered suddenly. Seeing Li Qing who was still standing outside, she suddenly remembered something, hurried to the door, and opened the door. The wooden door said, "Master, it's cold outside, come in and talk!"

Li Qing hesitated for a moment, and finally stepped through the door. Jiyue is Qingfeng's younger sister, and she is like her brother-in-law. She looks very unhappy, and caring about her is also a kind of concern for Qingfeng .It's just that I don't know what's on Jiyue's mind, and whether I can explain it to her.

But Tang Hu didn't enter the door. After Li Qing entered, he gently closed the door, "Brother Hu, it's too cold outside, come in too!" Ji Yue called out softly.

Tang Hu grinned, and said, "Miss Jiyue, don't worry, I'm strong and dressed thickly, so I'm not afraid of the cold." Pulling the door tight, leaning against the lintel, he began counting snow grains idly.

Li Qing looked at the small wooden house, it was still very simple as before, the earth dragon was burning inside the room, and the room was very warm and comfortable, so he took off his coat, put it on the table, and looked at the one on the table The sewing basket couldn't help but said unexpectedly: "Jiyue, when did you learn to do this?" Li Qing knew that Jiyue was born in a great family. He could read and write since he was a child, recite poems, compose lyrics, play the piano and play the flute. Embroidered flowers, grass, insects, fish, and so on, have you ever done these things?

Jiyue was a little flustered, she reached out her hand to take the sewing basket away, and in the panic, with a bang, the sewing basket fell to the ground, and the contents inside were dumped to the ground.

With a soft cry, Jiyue squatted down and tidied up in a hurry. Li Qing bent over to help him tidy up, picked up some odds and ends and put them back into the basket. He suddenly saw a pair of cloth shoes that were almost finished, and couldn't help but look familiar. Picking it up and holding it in her hand, Jiyue watched Li Qing take a closer look at the pair of cloth shoes, her pink face flushed immediately, she reached out her hand to grab it, but halfway through, she froze there again.

The fine stitches and soft fabric made Li Qing's eyes turn to the pair of cotton shoes he was wearing at the moment. Li Qing glanced at Jiyue in surprise, and turned over the right side of the shoe he was holding. , Sure enough, in the same place, he saw the same sentence.

"Yun Xiang clothes Hua Xiangrong!"

"Jiyue, so it was the shoes you sent me!" Li Qing said.At this moment, he finally understood the meaning of these words, Yun Xiang's clothes were beautiful, and the whole sentence was not Jiyue's real name, Yun Rong?I should have thought of it earlier.

Jiyue turned around suddenly, her back was facing Li Qing, her head almost fell to her chest, a pair of small hands were clenched tightly, and her body trembled slightly.

Seeing Jiyue's abnormal state, and looking at the cloth shoes in his hand with the utmost care, Li Qing suddenly understood the meaning expressed in Jiyue's previous song. It turned out that Jiyue liked him.

For a while, Li Qing stayed there, not knowing what to say, the two of them were silent, and the room fell into an unspeakable silence. After a long while, Li Qing came back to his senses, walked slowly to the table and sat down. Next, put the sewing basket aside, and gently said to Jiyue: "Jiyue, sit down! Let's talk for a while!"

Jiyue turned around stiffly, sat down on the side of the table with her head down, put her hands on the table, her fingers were twisted together, and her joints turned slightly white. It was obvious that she was extremely nervous, and her face was full of pain. She was flushed, her eyes were full of tears, like a child, the secret she had been carefully hiding was suddenly discovered on the spot by the person she most wanted to hide, and the panic in her heart could not be described in words.

"Jiyue, why did you come back to Chong County? Didn't Qingfeng take you to Dingzhou?" Li Qing asked.

"I... I don't like Dingzhou, I still like here in Chongxian, the simpler life here may be more suitable for me." Ji Yue's voice was like a gnat.

Li Qing keenly noticed the grievance flashing in Jiyue's eyes, "Are you sick with your sister?" After finding out that Jiyue likes him, Li Qing immediately thought that Qingfeng could not know, is it because of this, And let there be conflicts between the two sisters?
Jiyue was slightly stunned for a while, "Marshal, why can a person change so much in a short period of time? The change is so big that you can't even recognize it. You can't believe it. Why is this?"

Jiyue raised her head, and the tears in her eyes fell like broken beads.

Li Qing realized that Jiyue was talking about her sister Qingfeng. "Jiyue, Qingfeng has changed a lot compared to before, but no matter how she changes, she still loves you, because you are her only relative now."

"No, that's not the case!" Jiyue yelled a little out of composure, and clenched her fists, "Marshal, it's not like that, my sister is now her, she... She loves power more."
