"I'm sorry!" Sensing Zheng Qingyun's apologetic gaze, Xiao Li secretly sighed and explained: "It's not early, if it gets dark later, I'm afraid it's not convenient to find something." ”

When the two arrived at the cemetery, it was already nearly evening, Xiao Li accompanied Zheng Zijin along the road she walked yesterday, carefully searched all the way, and finally found her lost jade pendant among the weeds in front of the tombstone.

Zheng Qingyun pinched the jade pendant in his hand, took the handkerchief and wiped it carefully, making sure that it was not broken, and then breathed a long sigh of relief.

At this time, the sun gradually tilted to the west, and some orange-red clouds began to appear in the sky, which were dyed with a layer of golden glow by the sun, which looked gorgeous and colorful. Zheng Qingyun stood against the light, and a ray of golden orange light happened to pass through the clouds and fell on her fair cheeks, dyeing her face a little beautiful - Xiao Li was facing her, so such a beautiful scene did not fall in the slightest, all fell into his eyes, and slowly imprinted into his heart.

How many years later, Xiao Li can still recall Zheng Qingyun that evening, with a happy smile on his face, standing in the deserted cemetery, like a golden lotus blooming from the barrenness.

On the way back to the city, Zheng Qingyun repeatedly thanked Xiao Li, and then leaned back on the chair and carefully looked at the jade pendant in his hand.

"Who's that man?"

Zheng Qingyun raised her eyes to look at Xiao Li suspiciously, and saw that he was looking ahead without squinting, and the corners of his mouth were slightly straightened, as if the voice she heard just now was just an illusion. Just as he was about to ask, Xiao Li opened his lips again, and his voice was low, "I'm asking about the tombstone in the cemetery, whose one is it?" ”

"My dad." Zheng Qingyun didn't hesitate, almost as soon as Xiao Li's question was finished, she immediately answered his question, and then squeezed out a smile, "It's my father's, he was killed." ”

Xiao Li didn't expect this to be the answer, he subconsciously glanced at Zheng Qingyun sideways, and saw that her previous calm smile had long since disappeared, and there was helplessness and hatred in her eyes at this moment-he suddenly regretted that he had asked such a question.

After that, the two of them didn't speak, until Xiao Li sent Zheng Qingyun to the residence, she just said "thank you", and got out of the car and went into the yard.

Xiao Li sat alone in the dark car for a long time, remembering what Tan Yi mentioned in the afternoon, and then drove to the Overseer's Mansion.

Although Xiao Li is the only son of the Overseer, the Overseer has very strict requirements for him, and if he violates military law, the punishment is always heavier than that of others.

This also makes Xiao Li always look ruthless and unsmiling in front of outsiders.

When Xiao Li returned to the Overseer's Mansion, the non-commissioned officers who had been discussing military affairs with the Overseer had already left, and he walked into the Overseer's study alone, where he saw his father standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out at the stars and wondering what he was thinking.

Hearing Xiao Li's movement, Xiao Jingguo turned around and glanced at him, the dissatisfaction and anger in his eyes were self-evident.

"I heard Tan Yi say that you went to the hospital this afternoon to review the injury?"

Xiao Jingguo was sturdy and strong, wearing a black military uniform, looking very powerful, he strode to the desk and sat down, staring at Xiao Li with fierce eyes.

Seeing Xiao Li nodding slightly, Xiao Jingguo's eyes were full of suspicion, when was this kid not injured and went to the hospital by others, when did he go to the hospital for a re-examination so honestly?

"When were you injured? How do I not know? ”

"It's been a few days."

"That's why you're absent from military duty today?" Xiao Jingguo slapped the table, "If everyone is as undisciplined as you are, will my army still be in charge?" ”

Xiao Li was silent, his eyes were dark, and he looked down at the documents on the table with an unpredictable expression-the words Qiyun Pavilion written on them met his eyes, it seemed that this was the plan for the seizure of Qiyun Pavilion today.

Xiao Jingguo was a little angry about Xiao Li's silent attitude, he admitted that he was too strict with Xiao Li, and that was because Xiao Li was his only son! In the future, everything in the Overseer's Mansion will be his, and this Wucheng, as well as the surrounding two provinces, will become his jurisdiction, if he is not strictly cultivated, how can he be worthy of the heavy responsibility?

"Go, run three hundred laps around the Overseer's Palace, and if you don't finish running, you won't have to sleep tonight."

Xiao Li glanced at Xiao Jingguo, didn't even blink his eyelids, turned around and left the study, and walked outside.

As soon as he walked out of the study, he met the Overseer's wife, his mother-in-law, Xiao Ho.

Xiao He's cheeks were sharp and thin, his eye sockets were deeply sunken, as soon as he saw Xiao Li, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, and his tone was a little bad, "Don't make your father angry in the future, you are not afraid of punishment, I am afraid that I will lose the face of the Xiao family if I spread it!" ”

Xiao Li stood quietly and did not speak, until Xiao He turned and went upstairs and disappeared, and he left the gate of the Overseer's Mansion.

Father's punishment has always been the same, if he can't complete the 300 laps, I'm afraid he won't be able to sleep tonight, although he probably won't be able to sleep at all.

After running for only a dozen laps, Tan Yi suddenly came to his side, and while running with him, he said with a smile: "Should you thank me for helping you lie?" ”

Xiao Li glanced at him, ignored it, and accelerated to continue running.

"Hey, do you want to cross the river and tear down the bridge like this?" Tan Yi rolled his eyes helplessly, and sped up to chase after him, "You even abandoned the orders of the Overseers in order to chase the girl today, and I was scolded by the Overseers, don't you feel guilty?" ”

"No guilt."

Tan Yi's feet were weak, he almost fell to the ground, stared at Xiao Li's back, and shouted: "You stinky boy, let you run alone until dawn!" Lao Tzu is not accompanied! ”

Despite saying this, Tan Yi still couldn't bear to leave Xiao Li alone, so he sat on the steps at the door of the Overseer's Mansion. Every time Xiao Li passed by the door, he didn't forget to say a few words that hit him, so that he could get angry.

Before I knew it, it was dawn.

Xiao Li stretched out his legs and kicked Tan Yi, who was lying on the steps and was asleep, seeing that he didn't react, the corners of his lips curled up slightly in a very small arc, and he leaned closer and said, "It's morning." ”

As soon as the words fell, Tan Yi, who was sleeping like a dead pig just now, immediately jumped up from the ground, rubbing his sleepy eyes, and looked left and right and shouted: "Come on, I'll come right away......"

When he saw clearly that the person standing in front of him was Xiao Li, and realized where he was standing, Tan Yi finally realized that he had been tricked by Xiao Li, and was about to jump to scold him, but heard Xiao Li say, "Let's go, let's go have breakfast." ”

"It's almost as good as inviting me to the Green Wave Corridor for dinner." Tan Yi muttered, seeing that Xiao Li was fresh and cleanly dressed, obviously going to take a shower and then came out to call himself, and his heart was even more indignant - he had eaten the cool breeze here all night, and this kid didn't wake himself up earlier after he finished running, hum!

"I can't eat dragon liver anymore, I'm full of gas...... Ah......" Tan Yi covered his stomach and stared at Xiao Li in disbelief - just when he was complaining just now, he was attacked by this guy, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh: "I was careless in making friends!" ”

Looking at his funny appearance, Xiao Li's dark eyes were also dyed with a smile, "Are you hungry now?" Let's go! ”
