Seeing that she was drowsy and her eyes were almost open, Qin Hao smiled and teased: "You have to sleep until noon on weekdays, why did you get up so early today." ”

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Totoro said dreamily, "Woo...... I'm waiting for the third watch, it's not that I'm afraid that you will leave me alone and go on the road secretly......"

Halfway through speaking, she suddenly seemed to wake up, her immature little face was clear in an instant, and she hurriedly defended and said, "Well, it was a dream just now, so you shouldn't have heard it." I'm actually having some insomnia, so I'm waiting here a little earlier. ”

Qin Hao's expression darkened. Sure enough, what happened last time still makes Totoro linger......

Rubbing Totoro's head, Qin Hao said with a light smile: "When you get to the boat, you can sleep well, if you are really too sleepy, you can lie on me and sleep for a while." ”

If it were normal, My Neighbor Totoro would definitely hold it in Qin Hao's arms in the most comfortable position. But she just tugged at Qin Hao's sleeve and walked forward slowly.

After walking for a while, she seemed to remember something, and said in a stiff tone like an endorsement: "A girl's body, you can't let a man touch it casually, don't be delusional about hitting my idea." ”

Qin Hao's smiling face was instantly embarrassed. Listening to the tone, these words were definitely not from the original intention of the little girl Totoro.

With her current experience, I'm afraid she doesn't even know what "making an idea" means.

Who taught you this. ”

"Sister Yule told me. My Neighbor Totoro replied almost without thinking, "She said that girls should not get too close to men, otherwise they will be bullied." ”

Pulling the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, Qin Hao continued to ask worriedly: "What else did she say?"

"Sister Yule asked if you had ever touched my body or something, it's all boring. My Neighbor Totoro walked forward and said to himself, but as everyone knows, Qin Hao's forehead is getting more and more cold sweat.

In Qin Hao's impression, Yu Le is a girl with a cold personality. During this time, she often spends time with Totoro.

My neighbor totoro, who has always been indifferent to humans, is particularly sticky to amusement, which makes Qin Hao a little surprised.

"So how did you answer?" Qin Hao asked worriedly.

"Hmm...... Forgot. My Neighbor Totoro replied nonchalantly.

Qin Hao's heart was even more worried. Although the body is not afraid of the shadow slanting, there is definitely a problem with the expression of the little girl Totoro, in case something is misunderstood, but it can't be washed by jumping into the Yellow River.

It seems that you should be careful in the future, try not to let Totoro have too deep contact with her, but don't let her spoil the little guy who is not deeply involved in the world......

Today, thirty-two days after that big battle, Qin Hao has completely cultivated his body and is ready to leave.

Saying goodbye was cumbersome, and Qin Hao didn't want to alarm Li Yuanxiong, so he quietly left with Totoro.

This time it was the gold mining family of Youhong in the West, and Qin Hao wanted to represent Ansan County to make it peaceful. Completely stabilize the rule of Ansan-gun.

Later, he learned that Yu Le was actually the daughter of the head of the family, You Hong, which surprised Qin Hao. This time, Yu Le was willing to be a guide and led Qin Hao and the two to Youjia.

There is a small river that flows westward, and a passenger boat can seat three people. In this way, the Zhao'an team composed of three people disappeared into Ansan City......

Late at night, Qin Hao squatted on the bow of the boat, looking at the moon falling into the water in the western sky. The cold on the water was heavy, and Qin Hao felt cold.

He took out the fiery red scarf wrapped in white silk from the bamboo basket. It was not wrapped around the neck, but tightly hugged in the arms.

The curtain of the cabin door was lifted, and the amusement model dressed in black gauze walked out, "You go and rest for a while, I'll keep watch in the second half of the night." ”

"I can't sleep. Qin Hao was still staring at the sparkling moon in the water that was blown away by the wind, and said with a wistful expression. "It's damp outside, you can go back and sleep with Totoro." ”

As if he hadn't heard it, Yu Le sat next to Qin Hao by himself, and said with a little surprise: "What a beautiful scarf, who gave it to you, friend, lover?"

"Family. Qin Hao replied sadly: "I'm a little homesick." ”

The tone of the amusement was a little lonely. "yes, how long have you been away from home?"

"Sixty-seven days. Qin Hao clasped his hands around his shoulders, and looked at the corner of the golden and brilliant palace behind the thousands of mountains and rivers blocked by the northern palace......

After that incident, the palace returned to peace. Everyone seemed to have forgotten the names of Qin Hao, Concubine Li, and Qin Tianyi.

As for the person Qin Hao really cared about, he had never been remembered, nor could he be forgotten......

In the darkness of the ground, nine dragon pillars hung bronze ancient coffins, and red blood oozed from the coffins, flowing into the pool ten feet square below, and the ticking sound was particularly harsh in the empty room.

An old voice asked the man in the coffin, "Does it hurt?"

"It hurts. ”

"How can the tip of the heart not hurt. ”

The old man sighed and asked, "Are you still waiting?"

"He'll definitely be back......"

If Qin Hao heard the sound coming from the bronze coffin, Qin Hao would definitely cry, and then run back to the Qin Palace......

In the main hall of the Qin Palace, the old eunuch handed the fold to Qin Hongru: "Lord, in just two months, Qin Hao has recovered a county town in the thirteen counties of the Southern Regions, if it goes on like this, ......"

"It's okay, it's just a small county town, and he can't afford to make any waves. ”

Rubbing his aching temples, Qin Hongru closed his eyes tiredly. "Accelerate the progress of the project, I want to see results in three years!"

"Yes, Lord ......"

The road was unimpeded, and the boat crossed thousands of mountains and rivers like an arrow from the string, but after a day and night's work, I saw the land in the distance.

Looking for a place to settle down and get off the boat, Qin Hao and the three of them were not as unbearable as they imagined before going to the You family's mansion. Because of the gold mines, although the materials here are scarce, they can barely feed every family.

Because of the influence of the Qinling Mountains, the distance between the Western Regions Youjia and Li Yuanba is not more than 100 miles, but the climate is very different. The soil here is not suitable for cultivation, but there are many ceramic pottery productions, and there are many ores, and ore smelting workshops are also everywhere.

Countless open-air mine caves weathered earth and stones, raising a long yellow dust, so that Totoro, who has always loved quiet, couldn't help frowning slightly, and asked Yule for a hat to cover his face.

Because it was daytime, few people walked on the street, Qin Hao couldn't help but ask: "Is it possible that everyone in your place has to wear a hat?"

"It's usually women who wear hats. Men should go down to the mines, and they can't get in the way. "Although it doesn't come here very often, Amusement knows a lot about the local customs.

Staring at her face under the black veil, Qin Hao was in a trance for a moment. Yule noticed his strange gaze, but he didn't mind. Just stared at Qin Hao's eyes with the same calmness.

After a long time, Qin Hao finally reacted, and hurriedly apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I lost my temper." ”

"Nothing. ”

For some reason, Qin Hao always felt that there was worry in his eyes, and his mood was not as lively as when he was on the boat.

"Do you have something on your mind?" Qin Hao asked.

"Nope. You Le said absentmindedly, and Xuan'er sped up her steps forward, leaving Qin Hao and the two behind.

My Neighbor Totoro pulled her sleeve, "Hey, Sister Yule, wait a minute!"

She didn't say it, and Qin Hao didn't want to ask, after all, the relationship between the two was just friends who had worked together, and the relationship had not yet reached the level of speaking freely.

A city that is not grandiose, and the traces of damage and repair on the walls are also ancient, giving people a simple and vicissitudes of life.

To the surprise of the three of them, the city gate was wide open, the road outside the gate was clean, sprinkled with a layer of water, and a servant sprinkled fresh flower petals on the side of the road.

Out of the door came a short, thin, pale-faced middle-aged man. This person was dressed in white, holding a folding fan in his hand, and he was not angry, but he gave people the feeling of weakness like a sick ghost.

Raising the cuffs to his chest, the man smiled and said, "I've seen the sect leader." ”

Seeing this, Qin Hao couldn't help frowning slightly. There is an unwritten rule in Luoyang that when greeting people, the folding fan should be pinned to the waist, and the cuffs should be raised by three inches. It was rude for this person to hold the folding fan casually and only raise his arm slightly.

Even so, Qin Hao still replied with a dignified salute: "You're polite, may I ask your Excellency ......"

Normally, when greeting someone, you first report your name to show respect, this middle-aged man is too ignorant of the rules.

However, Qin Hao was not too demanding, after all, this is the Southern Regions, unlike the prosperous capital of Luoyang City, where rules and etiquette are paid attention to.

"It's dawning downstream. The middle-aged man opened the folding fan in a hurry, fanned it twice at will, and replied with a smile.

"Sect Master Qin defeated Li Yuanba, it is our great benefactor of the You family! It is really an honor for us to be able to witness your true face now......

For this coquettish but indecent middle-aged man, Qin Hao really can't have a good impression in his heart. just said a few words perfunctorily, and then the veterinary medicine entered the You family's mansion.

On the way, You Le quietly told Qin Hao that this middle-aged man was the son of You Hong, the head of the family, and her own brother. It reached the peak of the Blood Moving Realm many years ago, and its strength should not be underestimated.

For Qin Hao, this sentence really has no weight. Although he is a cultivator in the middle stage of the Blood Moving Realm, the combat power that erupts can compete with the pre-inscription monks.

However, there was one thing that made Qin Hao feel strange, but it was not easy to ask carefully. Since entering Youjia City, Yu Le has not said a word, and no one has looked at her squarely, including You Tianming as an elder brother.

In this strange atmosphere, Qin Hao was arranged to rest in a luxurious room, and left the crowd in the middle of the amusement, and he didn't know where he went.

It can be seen that the people of the Western Regions treat themselves very well, and the welcoming procession of the city gate is crowded with people from the heart, which shows the great influence of the world of Ansan City on these people.

It is said that the people in the Western Regions gold fields were once the richest, and they were attacked by Li Yuanba's army twenty years ago, and have been exploited by Ansan City since then.
