Late at night. A waning moon hung in the sky, exuding a cold glow.

In the county government, there was silence.

The attendant eagerly ran out of the study and banged on the door.

Li Zhen was still dealing with the rest of the trivial matters, when he heard a hurried knock on the door, and said in a deep voice: "Come in!" As the words fell, the attendant pushed open the door and entered. The attendant said loudly: "My lord, Mr. Long and the rest of the people have left the county office. The attendant handed Li Zhen a piece of paper left by Long Boil, and stood in the study waiting for Li Zhen to ask.

Li Zhen took the paper and looked at it carefully.

Long Xi didn't write much, thanked Li Zhen for his hospitality, and also thanked Li Zhen for inviting him to come out, and said a lot of words, and finally mentioned leaving the county office.

Li Zhen put down the letter and asked, "How long have you been gone?" ”

The attendant shook his head and said, "The villain doesn't know, and when he goes, the house is empty." ”

Li Zhen's brows furrowed, and he felt an incomparably headache.

His original plan was to recruit Long Xi again, so as not to let Long Xi leave. Now that Long Xi has left Renhua County, hasn't his plan been in vain? Not only that, Li Zhen didn't want to lose such a person who was both civil and military, and wanted to take Long Xi for his own use, so he was very disappointed when he saw Long Zhen's farewell letter.

The attendant rolled his eyes and suddenly said, "When the villain saw the white paper on the table, there was a teacup on it. When I picked up the teacup, I could still feel the warmth of the teacup. If you extrapolate this way, you won't be away for too long. ”

Li Zhen stared at the attendant, and when he saw that the attendant's eyes were uncertain, he shook his head slightly.

Obviously, the time is uncertain.

But no matter what, Li Zhen has to go and see.

If Long Xi wants to get out of the city, he can only leave by opening the city gate, and the soldiers guarding the city gate must know. As long as Li Zhen went to the city gate to ask the soldiers guarding the gate, he could know the specific situation. After Li Zhen figured it out, he didn't stop for a moment, rushed out of the study like a fly, went directly to the stable, picked up a horse, and rode away.

The empty streets were empty.

Even though there was a waning moon hanging in the sky, exuding a faint moonlight, it could only distinguish the road. The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and Li Zhen ran in the direction of the city gate.

When he came to the city gate, Li Zhen immediately shouted: "Where are the soldiers guarding the gate? ”

The soldier heard the shouts and poked his head out of the house where he was living to take a look. Seeing that Li Zhen was coming on horseback, the soldier was so frightened that he shivered and quickly got dressed. After a while, the soldiers guarding the city gate hurriedly ran out, knelt on the ground and saluted: "Little man and horse, meet the governor, is there anything important for the lord to come late at night?" ”

Li Zhen asked, "Has Long been here?" ”

In his heart, Li Zhen still hoped that Long Xi would stay in the city so that it would be convenient to find him.

The soldier nodded and said, "Half an hour ago, Long Xi and the rest of the twelve people came here. He said that the adults had ordered them to go out of the city to do some urgent business, so the villain let them out. ”

Li Zhen commanded: "Open the city gate!" ”

The soldiers did not dare not agree, and immediately opened the city gates.

"Drive!"

Li Zhen shouted violently, and the horsewhip in his hand waved out in the air, making a loud crack. The war horse under the crotch seemed to feel the urgency of the master, and quickly shook its four hooves and ran towards the outside of the city. The official road outside the city is a flat avenue, all the way straight, Li Zhenze's horse gallops, and the speed is extremely fast.

Li Zhen didn't have the heart to think about these issues, he just wanted to be able to catch up with Long Xi as soon as possible. As the saying goes, you can't lose the opportunity and never come again, if Long Xi leaves, the opportunity will be missed.

"Da! Da!! ”

Under the silent night sky, the sound of horses' hooves arose.

Li Zhen kept waving his horsewhip to accelerate, and a loud shout came out, and the birds perched on both sides of the road were startled and flew up, fluttering and flapping their little wings, looking for a new place to perch.

……

On the road, Long Xi, Long Er, Long San and other cadres talked and laughed.

By the faint moonlight, the group hurried away without hurrying.

Long Thirteen staggered along, followed behind Long Xi, and asked with a smile: "Big brother, we have left Renhua County now, where are we going next?" ”

Long Xi said: "Let's go back to Guangzhou first!" ”

"Okay!"

Long Thirteen laughed, looking happy.

Long Jiu interjected and said, "When Li Zhen sees the letter from his eldest brother leaving, he must be very disappointed. ”

Long Wu said nonchalantly: "Mind him, just do our own thing." Several people grinned, and their voices echoed in the silent night sky. When a few people were talking and laughing, Long Xi suddenly stopped, listened to the movement behind him, and said in a deep voice: "There is movement behind, and a horse is galloping." ”

"Da! Da!! ”

When the words fell, I could already see the black shadow with the help of the moonlight.

This figure was fast, as fast as lightning.

After a while, this figure became clear, and Long Thirteen said in surprise: "Big brother, that's Li Zhen!" Long Shisan had a surprised look on his face, he didn't expect Li Zhen to catch up. The rest of them were like that, and a hint of admiration rose in their hearts. Li Zhen was able to chase after him at night, showing Li Zhen's respect for Long Xi, which made Long Er, Long San and others very satisfied.

Long Xi looked at Li Zhen, who was chasing after him, and was a little moved in his heart.

"Brother Long stays!"

In the distance, Li Zhen's loud voice came.

Long Xi took a deep breath, waved his hand to look at his brothers, and said, "Go ahead and wait!" ：

The dragon made a second-hand move and led the rest of the people to the front. A few people walked about ten meters, stopped to look at Long Xi and Li Zhen, who was running, muttered quietly, with a smile in the corners of their eyes.

Li Zhen stopped beside Long Xi, turned over and dismounted.

He looked at Long Xi and said with a little reproach: "Brother Long didn't tell me if he wanted to leave, if I hadn't asked the attendant to send you fruit, I'm afraid I wouldn't know that Brother Long had said goodbye." Even if Brother Long is reluctant to go out, there is no need to avoid it so quietly. Well, we're friends. ”

Long Xi shook his head and said, "Long didn't want to be sad about the separation, so he left early." ”

Li Zhen didn't dwell on this topic, sighed, and said helplessly: "It's going to rain and my mother is going to get married, and Brother Long is leaving, I can't stop it, I hope there is still a chance to reunite with Brother Long." As he spoke, Li Zhen handed the reins of the horse in his hand to Long Xi and said, "The road is far away, this horse is given to Brother Long, I wish Brother Long a good journey." ”

Long Xi didn't hesitate and took it directly.

Not only that, he didn't even say thank you, turned over and walked forward. Long Xi took a few steps forward, glanced back, and found that Li Zhen was still standing in place, with a faint smile on his face, but the smile was a little reluctant. In fact, only Li Zhen himself knew what he was thinking, and he was really a little disappointed, after all, he couldn't keep Long Xi.

However, the twisted melon is not sweet, and he can only let the dragon boil away.

Long Xi rode up to Long Er, turned over and dismounted, and looked back in the direction where Li Zhen was. At this moment, Li Zhen smiled and beckoned, and his heart was even more inexplicably moved.

"Plop!"

A muffled sound came out, and Long Xi knelt directly on the ground.
