Chapter Eighty-Seven: West of Jiuquan City

When Li Yan came out of the Liangwang Mansion, it was already midnight, and when he returned to the mansion to settle Wei Liang and them, Li Yan came to the backyard Linghu Clan's room, and Xin'er was still waiting for Linghu Clan to sleep, so Li Yan didn't bother anymore.

Early morning.

Li Yan came to visit his mother Linghu early in the morning, thinking that he would be reprimanded, which surprised Li Yan, as if nothing had happened, but now Linghu is still bedridden.

After more than an hour, Li Yan came out of Linghu's room, his face was like an eggplant beaten by frost, for no other reason, Li Yan promised to listen to Linghu after he came back before he sent an envoy to Jinguo.

Over the years, in order to pull Li Yan up, the Linghu clan still has no regrets even though he lives in the dilapidated west courtyard of the Liangwang Mansion, looking at his mother's gray temples and expectant eyes, Li Yan is not easy to refuse.

I am only sixteen now, and according to my own ideas, I have no plans to start a family so early, but I don't have the right to speak at all, and my arms can't twist my thighs.

Xin'er saw Li Yan come out of the room, and when she saw Li Yan, her face flushed, and her face turned even redder when she thought of Li Yan's madness last night.

Li Yan was reading in the study in the morning, and he had not had as much leisure as he has now since he went to Xihai for more than a year, and Lei Ming was handling military affairs in Xihai during this time, and he would return to Xihai after a while.

At noon, Li Yan suddenly remembered something and was about to go out, so he called Wei Liang, and the two went out of the house together. Han Qian had been instructed by Li Yan to go back to the West Sea to deal with the pig iron in Longshou Stream, and now the Lejun camp lacked enough ordnance, and with those pig iron, it could also respond to emergencies.

"General, where are we going?" Wei Liang followed behind Li Yan and asked curiously.

"West of the city."

Jiuquan City is not big, Li Yan took Wei Liang through a narrow alley and came to the door of a small courtyard.

This is located in the west of Jiuquan City, many houses have been dilapidated, after the failure of Jiuquan Taishou Wang De's army, a fire burned most of Jiuquan City, the west of the city was the most seriously damaged, and now few people live here.

Wei Liang looked at the two hidden doors that seemed to fall down if he touched them, wanted to reach out and push them open but retracted his hand, turned around and asked, "General, whose house is this?" ”

"Li Han." Li Yan said in a deep voice.

"It's him." Wei Liang looked surprised, and then slowly pushed the hidden door open.

Li Yan was stunned as soon as he entered the courtyard, the weeds more than half a person tall had overgrown the entire small courtyard, and some vines had climbed the fence more than one person high, this place seemed to be an abandoned courtyard.

If Han Qian hadn't told Li Yan that this was Li Han's home, Li Yan would have thought that something was wrong. It was quiet inside, and no one even appeared after Li Yan and the others came in.

Suddenly, a strong smell of decoction came, and Li Yan walked towards the house,

"Who are you? Why is it here? ”

Suddenly, a child about seven or eight years old came out with a steaming bowl of soup. Seeing two strangers Li Yan and Wei Liang appear in the courtyard, they stood on the steps and asked.

"Child, is this Li Han's home?" Li Yan bent down and said with a smile.

"My name is Li Ye, do you have something to do with my father?"

"We are your father's friends, and we happened to be passing by here today, so we came to visit" Wei Liang glanced at Li Yan and was speechless for a while.

"Ye'er, who are you talking to?" A woman's voice came from the back room.

"Mother, there are guests at home, you wait a while, Ye'er has finished the decoction." Li Ye replied to the inner room.

Li Ye carefully walked to the back room with the soup in the bowl, and Li Yan and Wei Liang followed behind him into the back room.

"Mother, get up and drink the medicine." Li Ye walked to the edge of the bed and said to the woman on the bed.

"Ahem, who are the two of you?" The woman struggled to get up, and Li Ye hurriedly put the bedding behind the woman's back.

"In Xia Li Yan, his name is Wei Liang, we are all friends of Li Han, and we happened to pass by here today and came to visit."

"Li Han, he~ Is he okay?" The woman was stunned for a moment, grabbed Li Ye's little hand tightly and asked in a choked voice.

"Okay~ he's fine."

The woman looked at Li Yan's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, and her face changed. "Ye'er, you go out first."

"Mother, karma won't leave." Li Ye saw Li Yan and Wei Liang standing aside and hugged the woman and said.

"Ye'er is obedient, my mother has something to say to your Uncle Li. Get out of here and be obedient. The woman comforted.

Li Yan nodded at Wei Liang, and Wei Liang willingly went out of the back room with Li Ye.

"Li Han, he~ How is he now?" After the woman saw Li Ye and Wei Liang go out, tears were already on her face.

"Sister-in-law, you have to take care of your health, Li Han, he, he's no longer there." Although Li Yan wanted to hide the news of Li Han's death, he couldn't bear to look at the woman like this.

"What you say is true? Li Han, he really ......," the woman asked unwillingly.

Li Yan nodded, sighed and said: "Li Han died to save me, from now on, the living expenses of your two mothers will be provided by the Pingbei General's Mansion, these are Li Han's pensions, sister-in-law accept them." If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to the Pingbei General's Mansion to find me. ”

Li Yan immediately took out a money bag from his arms and put it on the edge of the bed.

When the woman heard this, tears kept flowing, and she bit the futon tightly, holding back her crying, and kept sobbing.

After a long time, the woman stopped weeping.

"Ahem? This is also his life, from the moment he joined the army, life and death were no longer up to him. It's just that he suffered from his karma, and he lost his father at a young age. The woman coughed, then took a sip of the potion.

"General Li, don't let Ye'er know about this, he is still young, and he looks forward to his father's return every day, if he knows ......about it," the woman looked up and asked earnestly.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, Li Yan knows." Li Yan said in a deep voice.

When Li Yan came out of the back room, he saw that Li Ye was holding Wei Liang's horizontal knife and kept gesturing in the courtyard, that short and clumsy posture, Li Yan couldn't help but shake his head.

"General, you're out." Wei Liang walked up to Li Yan and whispered.

"Let's go back."

Seeing Li Yan and Wei Liang walking towards him, Li Ye put away the horizontal knife, and reluctantly stepped forward to hand the horizontal knife in his hand to Wei Liang.

"Uncle Wei, are you leaving?"

"Hmm. I'll come back to see you later when I have time. Wei Liang bent down and touched Li Ye's tiger-headed little head.

Li Yan looked at Li Ye intently looking at the horizontal knife in his hand, lowered his head and asked, "Do you like it?" ”

"I like it."

"Good. This knife is given to you. Li Yan handed over the horizontal knife in his hand to Li Ye.

"General, this is yours~" Wei Liang looked at Li Yan and wanted to say something, but couldn't say anything.

"It doesn't matter. Kid, put it away. ”

"Thank you, Uncle Li."
