The emperor was a little apprehensive at first about sending Lu Li to pick up people in Xiaogang Village, and he had even thought about the possible excuses after Lu Li's refusal, but he never expected that the other party would nod his head without hesitation.

"Xiaogang Village is far away from rewards and punishments, General Lu, are you really willing to go?" The emperor couldn't believe it.

Lu Li's reply was: "The minister is willing to go." ”

The emperor was very pleased, and solemnly patted Lu Li's shoulder and said: "Then this matter will be handed over to General Lu, because General Li's situation is urgent, and the situation in Xiaogang Village is relatively complicated, I hope you don't delay too long, it's best to set off directly early tomorrow morning, and arrive early, so there will be fewer variables, right?" ”

Lu Li understood what he meant, nodded and promised that after leaving tomorrow, he would be ordered by the emperor to go home and pack his things.

When facing the emperor in the palace, he was not false at all, but when he went home and talked to An Xiabai, he suddenly didn't know what to say.

Since coming to the capital to take up their posts, the couple have been together less and more often, and sometimes he is really reluctant to give up An Xiabai and their two children.

An Xiabai didn't know what he was thinking, she had been worried about waiting since Lu Li entered the palace, and the first thing she did after seeing Lu Li return safely was to go up and take a look.

After making sure that there were no injuries on his body, An Xiabai asked the reason.

"There is news from the border that General Li has been found." Lu Li confessed with a complicated expression, "The emperor summoned me into the palace overnight, just to meet the general's affairs, it is said that the general is not in good condition at present, not only is he seriously injured and in a coma, but even the situation is not very safe, the emperor asked me to set off tomorrow morning." ”

I see.

An Xiabai breathed a sigh of relief, his brows didn't have time to stretch, and he added a little worry in his heart: "General Li has a favor for his husband's promotion, and now he is not in a good situation, and his husband should have taken him in the past, so he should repay his kindness." ”

Lu Li, who was still worried about An Xiabai's displeasure just now, heard this sentence as if he had drunk coptis water: "Madam, aren't you a little reluctant?" ”

An Xiabai was stunned by his words, glanced at him and said: "It's not a war to fight, what's so reluctant, not to mention that General Li is still my father-in-law, husband, you go to pick him up, it's too late for me to be happy." ”

An Xiabai said, turned around and went into the house to help pack his luggage.

The next day, Lu Li was sent to leave the capital.

Just when Lu Li was going to Xiaogang Village day and night, someone had a trip that happened to be the opposite of him.

He went from the capital to the border pass, and it is often heard that he rushed to the capital from the border pass.

At the beginning, he was sent to the border pass mainly to inquire about Li Wenfeng's news, but now that he has been found, he should also return to his master, King Li, to continue to serve.

Chang Wen estimated that he would be able to reach the capital today according to his own steps, so he slowed down.

He happened to be a little thirsty when passing by a small town, so he found a shop to sit down and drink tea, and by the way, he inquired about the current situation in the capital.

At the same time, someone walked into the tavern and walked straight to the counter.

"Shopkeeper Zhou, I brought you the tea you said you wanted last time." The voice of the person came to greet softly.

The shopkeeper, who was originally busy behind the counter, heard the voice, turned around and smiled enthusiastically and said, "Thank you, Miss Qin, do you want to sit down and have a cup of tea?" ”

Qin Shuang'er shook her head with a smile, and quickly turned around and left under the pretext that she had something at home.

Surname Qin?

Chang Wen sat in his place and stared at her back silently, and a picture suddenly flashed in his mind for some reason.

If that person grows up safely, he should be about the same size as her.

Chang Wen didn't know what to think of in the past, and his eyes were half lowered with a regretful expression, but it was a pity that he still had something to do today, otherwise he really wanted to catch up and ask the girl's life, and by the way, ask where her family lived, if he remembered correctly, his childhood playmate also had tea at home.

He wants more than less, and there are people who think the opposite of him.

"Did you see her?" There was an obscene-looking man at the next table who pointed to Qin Shuang'er's back and said, "I heard that she is the only one in her family, and she has no relatives or anything, and her family supplies tea to the restaurant, and it is said that she is quite rich, do you want to?" ”

Several men glanced at each other and let out strange laughs one after another.

Although she also grows tea at home, she has no one at home.

Chang Wen vaguely remembered that his childhood playmate's parents were alive and well, and his brother was also alive and well, so he completely denied the thoughts in his heart: "It's definitely not her." ”

Seeing that a few men with obvious bad intentions were following Qin Shuang'er's steps, he didn't want to get involved, but his heart didn't know what was going on, and there was always a feeling of anxiety rising, and he had no choice but to check out and keep up.

I followed the itinerary of the disciples all the way, and finally met someone in a remote alley.

Qin Shuang'er was obviously pulled in by them, her clothes were disheveled, and she also had a panicked expression on her face, and she was trying to push away the disciple in front of her and shouting for help.

Chang Wen secretly congratulated himself that he was not too late, and quickly stepped forward and kicked one of the disciples over.

"What do you mean by that?" One of the disciples glared at him angrily, "You'd better leave things out of your mind!" ”

"Sorry, I just like to be nosy." Chang Wen smiled and showed his attitude with a cold face, "You bully a weak woman in broad daylight, and you are embarrassed to let others not meddle in their affairs, and it is not ashamed?" ”

The disciples were stunned by his scolding, and they didn't last long before they turned around and ran away.

Chang Wen had time to care about Qin Shuang'er's body: "Are you okay, are you injured?" ”

Qin Shuang'er shook her head with tears: "Thank you, Childe, I wasn't hurt, I was just scared by them." ”

It's good that you didn't get hurt.

"In the future, you must pay attention when you go out alone, and you must be dispensable, if I don't meet you by chance, maybe you will be unlucky today." Chang Wen helped the person up, and after confirming that there were no obvious wounds on the other party's body, he helped her to the crowded street.

Out of the idea of not wanting to have too much trouble, he was going to say goodbye and leave, but when he turned around, he was stopped by Qin Shuang'er, who had plucked up his courage.

"Dare to ask if the word son's life is often heard?"

Hey, she didn't seem to report her life just now, why would she know?

Chang Wen looked back with doubts: "How do you know my name?" ”

"It's really you!" Qin Shuang'er's eyes were bright, and she was reluctant to let go when she held Chang Wen's hand, "Brother Chang, do you remember me, our family used to live very close, and we used to come and go when we were children!" ”

Chang Wen's eyes widened suddenly, shocked and a little happy.

Fortunately, I rescued him just now, otherwise I will regret it for the rest of my life when I think about it in the future!

"You're Frost?" He asked with a trembling voice.

Qin Shuang'er nodded directly without thinking about it, and said with a shy face: "Brother Chang, don't you recognize me, I didn't dare to recognize you when I saw you just now, if I hadn't suddenly found a familiar little action when you turned around to leave, I wouldn't have dared to stop you!" ”

Chang Wen stood stunned and stood in place, staring at it with wide eyes for a while before he overlapped the figure in front of him with the figure when he was young.

"It's really a woman's eighteen changes." He couldn't help but sigh and said, "It's rare to meet, let's go to the restaurant and sit down, how about chatting by the way?" ”

It is exactly what Qin Shuang'er wants.

The two of them laughed all the way to the restaurant in the town, and Chang Wen was in charge of ordering food, and ordered a bunch of dishes that Qin Shuang'er liked to eat in his memory, which made Qin Shuang'er a little embarrassed: "Order less, and the two of us won't be able to finish eating." ”

I often agree on the surface, but in fact, when I order, I still order in more directions.

It's rare to meet once, how can you be less generous when you have a treat?

When he finished ordering and talking, Chang Wen remembered what he had just heard from Deng's disciples: "How is your family doing recently?" If I'm not mistaken, we haven't seen each other in nearly ten years, but my uncle and aunt are still in good health? ”

The smile on Qin Shuang'er's face suddenly stiffened.

"What's wrong?" Realizing that he might have said the wrong thing, Changwen began to scramble.

"It's just sad to think about." Qin Shuang'er raised her eyes and glanced at him, sighed and said, "There has been an accident in the family, my parents are gone, and my brother is still in prison." ”

Such a big thing happened to her family!

Chang Wen looked at her sad and sad appearance, and felt the urge to slap herself twice: "I'm sorry, I don't know-"

Before she could finish her apology, she was interrupted by Qin Shuang'er, she smiled disapprerovingly, pretending to be strong and said, "It's okay, those who don't know are not guilty, Brother Chang, you also care about them before you ask, I understand." ”

Chang Wen actually wanted to ask about the specific situation, but seeing Qin Shuang'er's not very good face, he couldn't bear to continue asking.

"Although something happened to my family, I was quite lucky." Thinking of An Xiabai and the others, the expression on Qin Shuang'er's face couldn't help but be gentle, "I have met a lot of kind-hearted people, they helped me through the difficulties, and they also gave me a lot of help, I can still see it now." ”

Speaking of going away, Qin Shuang'er couldn't help but think of the scene of today's reunion with Chang Wen: "Speaking of which, we really have fate, we haven't seen each other for many years, but when we meet again, it turns out to be this kind of scene." ”

If you hadn't heard it today, it would have been more auspicious.

Chang Wen also sighed in his heart: "It's really a coincidence." ”

If it weren't for his whim to follow the past today, if he hadn't rescued him, he wouldn't have dared to think about what danger Qin Shuang'er would encounter.

"By the way, Brother Chang, how have you been doing all these years?" Qin Shuang'er began to care about Chang Wenlai, "How is the situation at home?" ”

"Everything's fine." Because he was working for King Li, he often didn't dare to say much, and only said a few words roughly.

His words stopped in Qin Shuang'er's ears, just because he was not living a satisfactory life, so he was embarrassed to say, after all, the clothes on his body looked very ordinary, just like an ordinary peasant, so Qin Shuang'er didn't think much about it.

She is still as simple as back then, and whatever she thinks in her heart, she has an expression on her face.

Chang Wen thought it was funny, but he didn't debunk it, and it wasn't until Qin Shuang'er wanted to help pay the bill that he stopped the person with a tough attitude: "I invite you to this meal today, we rarely meet, how can I let you pay the bill?" ”

Not only did he rush to pay the bill, but after eating, he personally sent Qin Shuang'er home on the grounds that it was unsafe on the road.
