Horse on the World

Chapter 211 Stories and Songs
Perhaps the charcoal fire in the room was burning too hotly. Jiyue, who was covered with a thick cotton mattress, lifted the quilt, and her upper body was completely exposed. The moon-white underwear wrapped her well-developed figure. Undulate rhythmically.Under the hair, a thin and small face is like a finely carved porcelain doll, which makes people feel like it will be broken at the touch. I don't know what I dreamed in my dream. Jiyue's face actually has With a smile.

Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, Li Qing was a little worried that she would catch a cold. He stood up, tiptoed to the bedside, gently lifted the quilt with both hands, and covered her carefully. Although the movements were extremely gentle, the sleeping Jiyue still woke up Come over, opened his eyes, and saw Li Qing bent over his head, couldn't help but yelled out.Panic flashed in his eyes, and the body under the quilt instantly curled up into a ball.

Li Qing looked awkwardly at Jiyue, who was like a frightened deer, holding the quilt horns with both hands, froze for a moment, and then explained: "Jiyue, you are covering the quilt, I am afraid you will catch cold, so I want to help you You cover it." As she said, she gently put down the quilt.

Jiyue's eyes suddenly showed a smile, and the corners of her mouth curled up mischievously. She stared straight at Li Qing, which made Li Qing's heart shudder, and quickly took a few steps back, and sat back on the brocade bench.

Pulling the quilt with both hands, only exposing a small head, Jiyue whispered: "Brother Li, when did you come?"

"It's been a while, do you feel better?" Li Qing said.

"It's much better. In fact, when I heard that you have returned to Dingzhou City safely, big brother, I feel much better. It's just that my body is weak and my mind is relaxed. On the contrary, I can't hold it anymore." Ji Yue said.

Li Qing shook his head, "Jiyue, how could you do this? If you don't eat for a few days, even a thick man can't bear it. You are a slender woman, and your bones have always been bad. Isn't this insulting yourself? If you have something wrong Yes, how can I explain to your sister?"

When Jiyue heard Li Qing mentioning Qingfeng, Jiyue's expression darkened, but she became happy again in an instant, and said with a smile: "Then there is such a delicate one, who has just been hungry for a few days. My elder brother is in danger, and Jiyue only hates himself for being a pawn." A weak girl who has no strength to restrain a chicken can't carry a knife and a gun to save her elder brother, so she can only burn incense and pray, begging the goddess of mercy to return my elder brother to me. Not eating is just to express my sincerity to the empress !"

Li Qing's head couldn't help sweating. Jiyue's words were so ordinary that it seemed like a common occurrence, but Li Qing's hearing was shocking. Jiyue's thoughts were clear at a glance, how could Li Qing not know this His words contained deep affection for himself, but he really regarded Jiyue as a cute little sister, and he didn't think about it at all. Coupled with Qingfeng's relationship, he didn't dare to go one step further. It's just Qingfeng, Shang Haibo and others are already quite dissatisfied, if there is another Jiyue, why don't they come to pick their noses and eyes with themselves?

Jiyue is very cute and extremely pure. Compared with Qingfeng, Li Qing feels completely relaxed. Being with Jiyue can put aside all the lawsuits in his head, and truly relax his tense nerves After coming down, seeing Jiyue's current appearance, Li Qing regretted letting Qingfeng take charge of the Statistics and Investigation Department. Maybe Qingfeng was made a female wife at the beginning, so she might look like Jiyue now, but now, it is He couldn't stop, Qingfeng couldn't back down, and he didn't dare to take the risk of making the statistics and investigation department paralyzed. Now Dingzhou has reached a critical moment, and Li Qing will try his best to avoid any turmoil.

There is no doubt about Qingfeng's ability, I really need to have a deep talk with her from the bottom of my heart, and Shang Haibo also needs to have a good talk with her, for Qingfeng, he is too aggressive, this is not a good thing Now, the two of them are able to cooperate with each other above the outside world, but Li Qing is afraid that once the foreign enemy is gone and the major event is settled, the two people he relies on the most will fight internally, both for himself and for the entire interest group in Dingzhou It was all a disaster.Take a step back, the sea and the sky are bright.

Jiyue saw that Li Qing was suddenly in a daze, obviously thinking of other things in her mind, she couldn't help but squeeze her mouth, stretched out her hand from under the quilt, pulled Li Qing's skirt, and said angrily: "Brother, it's rare that you come to my place For a while, can you stop thinking about those troublesome business affairs? Say something happy!"

Li Qing let out a cry, and came back to his senses, "It's something to be more pleasant, yes, we should say something that is more pleasant, what are you talking about?" The happy thing, maybe in Chong County, I said loudly to tens of thousands of people that we should eat all the time was the happiest time for me.

Seeing that Li Qing was in a difficult situation, Ji Yue couldn't help but feel sorry for him. The poor elder brother couldn't think of anything to be happy about, "It's a pity that I can't get up, otherwise I would play the piano and sing songs for brother Zai." , dance, big brother will be very happy!" Ji Yue said sadly.

Li Qing smiled and stroked Jiyue's black hair, "Silly girl, in fact, you don't do stupid things any more, and take care of your body quickly, brother will be the happiest."

"Well, I must listen to my brother! Brother, why don't you tell me a story!" Jiyue said earnestly.

"Tell a story?" Li Qing wondered.

"Yes, yes, no matter what the story is!" Ji Yue looked very happy, looking at Li Qing with a smile on her eyes and eyebrows.The two blushes on the small face were particularly eye-catching on the pale face.

"Okay, okay, tell a story, what are you talking about? Well, once upon a time, there was a big bad wolf..." As soon as Li Qing said something wrong, he couldn't help laughing, and at the same time , Jiyue also laughed, "Brother, do you treat me like a child?"

"Aren't you just a child?" Li Qing smiled.

Jiyue put away her smiling face in an instant, "No, big brother, I'm eighteen this year. In other people's homes, I'm already married at this age, and some even become mothers!"

Having said that, Jiyue's expression turned a little bit bad, and she turned her head sadly.

Li Qing didn't know how to talk about this topic, both of them fell silent. After a while, the sad Jiyue shrugged her shoulders, and there was a slight sobbing sound, but she was crying. Li Qing stretched out his hand, wanting to comfort her, He stretched his hand halfway, but retracted it again, sighing silently.

There was a light knock on the door, and Li Qing hurriedly said, "Come in, what's the matter?"

Qiao'er, the close maid, stood at the door, holding a tray in her hand, and said timidly: "Marshal, the medicinal porridge ordered by Mr. Huan has been cooked. Mr. Huan said, if the girl wakes up, she will have to eat a small amount of it." bowl."

Li Qing nodded, "Come in!"

Picked up the small bowl from the tray, stirred it lightly with a spoon, looked at the rising heat, Li Qing said: "Okay, you go down!"

Qiaoer hummed, and retreated obediently and silently. Li Qing held a small bowl and whispered: "Jiyue, get up and eat some porridge!"

Jiyue twitched in the quilt, and said angrily: "Don't eat!"

"Okay, okay, Jiyue, don't be angry. If you don't listen to me, you must listen to the doctor's words. If you look like you now, if you can't take care of yourself, how can you play the piano, sing and dance for me? I still hope Let's enjoy it!"

Jiyue couldn't help crying into laughter, turned around, pushed the blue hair behind her ears, looked at Li Qing and said, "Then big brother, I'll eat as soon as you feed me!" After saying this, Jiyue's ears turned red .

Li Qing said: "Okay, okay, as long as you eat, it doesn't matter if I feed you!"

He took a pillow from the side, helped Jiyue to sit up halfway, leaned against the bed, carefully scooped up a spoonful of medicinal porridge, blew gently, and brought it to Jiyue's mouth.

Looking at Li Qing with both eyes, Cherry opened her small mouth slightly, swallowed the medicinal porridge, frowned and said, "It's so bitter!"

"Good medicine tastes bitter and is good for the disease. This is medicinal porridge. It must have a medicinal taste. Come." Li Qing smiled.

"Brother, can you sing? If you feed me porridge while singing, I won't feel bitter!" Jiyue made another request, and Li Qing couldn't help laughing and crying. He is the commander of a state and has countless advisers and generals. Singing and feeding porridge for a little girl, if it spreads out, wouldn’t it make people smile and refuse intentionally, but seeing Jiyue’s thin face and expectant eyes, he couldn’t bear it anymore. After thinking about it for a while, he said, "Okay, I'll sing and you eat porridge!"

"The fire lighted up the night sadly, when the city was broken, the moon was waning in the sky, at that glance you smiled like a flower in the pan, and withered in an instant, the blood-colored wind tore the flag torn, and the lights at the top of the city were finally extinguished, and I couldn't see your head hanging high, with contempt in your eyes , the butterflies burned to ashes, the branches and leaves with broken roots, broke free from the frozen sadness in front of the eyes, blood flowed through the long street, killing and cutting in the ears, and the guarded city was whimpering in the heavy rain. (Uh, I like the song of Hetu, Borrow it, don't spray me!)

Jiyue looked at Li Qing attentively, and listened attentively to Li Qing's singing. The sense of killing and mourning in the lyrics moved her involuntarily, "Brother, this song is so sad."

Li Qing nodded, "There is a very sad story in this song, do you want to hear it?"

"I want to hear it!" Ji Yue nodded.Reaching out to take the bowl from Li Qing's hand, he began to eat spoonful by spoonful, "Brother, tell me the story!"

As twilight gradually fell, the light in the room gradually dimmed. Qiaoer came in gently to light the lamp, and then retreated. Jiyue, who was lying on the bed, was also asleep, looking at the hair hanging from the long eyelashes. Tears, Li Qing couldn't help but feel distressed, maybe in her dream, she was still reminiscing about the story that blew the world away?The founding emperor Bai Yan, the confidante Xie Wan who tried her best to defend the city and was captured and beheaded. "I don't remember whether it's cloudy or sunny. I've watched flowers bloom and wither. I gradually recall the difference between joy and hate. Wang Cheng's surname has been rewritten. I'm still watching the night here, waiting for something to break out of the ashes and become a butterfly." " Li Qing read the lyrics silently, stood up, exited the room, and gently closed the door for Jiyue in her dream.

After walking out of Taoyuan Xiaozhu, Li Qing took a deep breath. Tomorrow is a new beginning.
