In the Li Mansion, the hustle and bustle of the grand birthday banquet subsided after a whole day. Most of them had been busy all day, many of them had not even been able to take a sip of water, and they were busy preparing materials for tomorrow's feast.

Some leftovers on the banquet will be allowed to be brought back, and the people are very excited to get them, and their faces are slightly smiling because they are busy and nervous, after all, there are many things at the banquet that they are reluctant to spend their own money to eat once in their lives.

Li Jinheng did not show up at the banquet, and received some guests in the study who even needed to maintain a relationship with the Li family. The person he wanted to wait for did not come, Li Jinheng looked at the secret scroll in his hand, this is the news that has just been confirmed by the Li family's foreign affairs room today, and the news is not too shocking, but Li Jinheng has already noticed something strange from this piece of news, Daqing Emperor Liu Zheng must be planning a major event, and he still needs more accurate information.

Li Jinheng crumpled the secret scroll into a ball, put it into the hand warmer on the side and burned it, rubbed his forehead, the chaos started, Li Jinheng already felt that as the master of everyone, he had too many things to worry about, the Li family's big ship should not be flawed in his hands, and where the Li family should go in this troubled world all depends on his decision.

Li Yu looked at a picture of Dongmei Aoxue, which is one of the few surviving masterpieces of Mr. Mu Tuo, a master of the previous generation of paintings. A branch of red plum stands proudly between the cliffs in the snowstorm, the falling snow deeply bends the branches, and a thin branch quietly pokes its head out of the snow, and a budding red on it adds a different style to the full snow white.

Li Tingyi was supposed to return home before the birthday banquet began, but he sent a message saying that the journey was delayed, and he did not say exactly when he would return home.

Since Li Yu returned to the Li family, she has imagined the scene of meeting Li Tingyi more than once, but neither of them can satisfy her. Although Li Tingyi is Li Yu's biological son, he has never met Li Yu, and Li Yu has always thought that Hu Chen is all he has before this.

Thinking of Hu Chen, Li Yu felt that he hadn't seen him for a long time, the stars and the moon were just right, the cool breeze was blowing, Li Yu wanted to talk to Hu Chen, and some things needed to be faced after all.

The plum garden is blinded by black lights, and the birdcage under the eaves in front of the house is empty, and the same is true in Hu Chen's room. Li Yu was in a hurry, jumped up, stopped in the air, looked around, thousands of lights were brightly lit, and Hu Chen had long since disappeared.

Li Jinheng's clothes were blown by the wind in the night sky, and he said lightly: "Yu'er, what's the matter?"

Li Yu's eyes were slightly red and said: "Hu Chen is gone, did you already know?" Please help me find him back for the sake of me being your daughter." ”

Li Jinheng glanced at Li Yu and said lightly: "You don't believe me, why do you ask me for help? Since Hu Chen left by himself, you and him are fated, and this matter is over, you don't owe him anything." What you should be more concerned about at the moment is Tingyi, you haven't seen it for many years, what you should consider is how to deal with the relationship with Tingyi. ”

Li Yu turned around with difficulty, and a tear crossed his face in the dark night, falling on Li Yu's outstretched hand and shattering, Li Yu clenched his fists tightly, as if the tear was Hu Chen. She didn't care when Li Jinheng left, Li Yu gently spread out her palm, the night wind blew, and the slightest coolness passed from the palm of her hand to her heart, the tears had already spread, and the night breeze blew and she could no longer see the slightest, just like Hu Chen's departure.

Li Yu complained about herself, but it was also because of her unintentional snub that caused Hu Chen's departure, but her ten-year relationship with Hu Chen was forgotten. Those past, the corners of the quilt folded at night, the whispers when carrying them, the surprise of the first mother, and the warmth when kissed by the small mouth for the first time, will all be sealed by Li Yuchen with Hu Chen's departure.

Li Tingyi looked up at the gate of the tall Li Mansion, thinking that he was going to meet his mother who he hadn't seen for many years, he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart, and turned his head to look at the person next to him, the man smiled and touched Li Tingyi's head, Li Tingyi suddenly felt a lot more relieved, straightened his clothes, and walked into the Li Mansion.

Li Jinheng and Li Yu were waiting in the hall, of course Li Tingyi didn't need him Li Jinheng to treat him so ceremoniously, he also just got the news, Li Jinheng would never have thought that the person he wanted to wait for did not come, and the person who didn't dare to think about it was sent to the door.

Li Tingyi was led by the hand into the lobby of the Li family, Li Tingyi is very similar to Hu Qingyun when he was a teenager, it is like a mold carved out, with a hint of childishness in his handsomeness.

Li Yu looked at Li Tingyi in front of him with burning eyes, and nodded slightly towards the Confucian scribe.

Li Tingyi glanced up at the Confucian scribe, the man's eyes were gentle, and he said with a warm smile: "Go, isn't this the mother you have been thinking about for a long time? Don't worry, this is your home." ”

Li Jin smiled at the Confucian scribe and said: "Brother Shouren, after many years, the demeanor is still the same, what kind of wind blew you here today? Today is really a good day of double happiness, you and I should be a big white, don't disturb their mother's reminiscence here, I still have a hundred years of treasured crested man, you and I don't get drunk and don't return, okay?"

The Confucian scribe is the deputy priest of the Confucian Palace, the wine king Shouren, who is at the beginning of the spirit. Although the realm is not as good as Li Jinheng, the identity of the Xue Palace sacrificial wine is not at all compared to the head of the Li family. Listening to Li Jinheng's words, Wang Shouren, who was dressed in a moon-white robe and had a thin face, smiled and said: "Since Brother Jin Heng said so, then the old man really wants to taste the taste of this hundred-year-old crested barbarian, please!" The whole person is as warm as jade, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.

Tu Shu took Hu Qingyun for two days and two nights, and it took only a few days to walk the half-moon journey on weekdays, leaving Lanshan County and entering Leyang County. Tu Shu's taciturnity, Hu Qingyun's self-pity, Tu Shu is just desperately hurrying, the only thing she has to do now is to fulfill her grandfather's last wish and send Hu Qingyun to Qingyuan Li's house safely, and then she still wants to go back to Huaizhong, but the demon girl who killed her grandfather is dead, Tu Shu has no hope of revenge, why do you want to go back to Huaizhong, maybe in addition to sending grandpa on the last journey, there is another person who she wants to wait for now.

The carriage has been replaced several times, and finally after a long journey, the horse died of exhaustion, seeing that there is still a long distance from Dongxiang County, and there is no post house and horse farm to replace horses around, Hu Qingyun had to walk with Tu Shu on foot.

Tu Shu traveled all the way, but Hu Qingyun suffered, he was a scholar, he had never done heavy work, nor had he practiced martial arts to strengthen his body, a pair of feet were blistered, the blisters broke the skin again, and the blood soaked the shoes on the soles of his feet, Hu Qingyun gritted his teeth and held on, in fact, Tu Shu knew that Hu Qingyun did not speak, and she did not shout to stop.

Tu Shu Cardamom was in his prime, and he had a martial arts foundation, Hu Qingyun finally couldn't support it and fainted after holding on for a few hours.

Hu Qingyun woke up slowly, it was already the afternoon of the next day, the injury on his foot had been bandaged, Tu Shu had already been medicated, and it was just some skin trauma.

Tu Shu sat in front of the window with a lonely face, looking out the window silently, not knowing what he was thinking, and he didn't even notice that Hu Qingyun was awake.

Hu Qingyun looked at Tu Shu's immature face, the little face was a little dirty, it was the mark left by wiping away the tears with his hands, the unkempt hair, the dry and white mouth, the thin clothes were blown by the autumn breeze that came by chance outside the window, the thin body trembled unconsciously, Hu Qingyun sighed lightly, he was still a child after all.

Tu Shu heard the movement and found that Hu Qingyun had woken up, so he brought the already lukewarm porridge to Hu Qingyun and bowed his head and said: "Uncle Hu, it's Shu'er's fault, I shouldn't have urged all the way to hurt Uncle Hu, this porridge has the effect of nourishing qi and blood, Uncle Hu drink it while it's hot." ”

Seeing Tu Shu's aggrieved appearance, Hu Qingyun couldn't help but smile and touched Tu Shu's head and comforted: "It's the uselessness of my uncle that dragged you down and hurt Brother Xinfan." If it weren't for me, Xinfan would have escaped with you, so what qualifications do I have to blame you? So, you saved my life, and I didn't have time to say thank you. ”

Hu Qingyun continued: "Shu'er, we have escaped far enough, uncle can't drag you down, if this is fate, uncle is willing to face it calmly." You are still just a child, you should not bear so much, please help me find Hu Chen, and tell him that although his father is a useless scholar, at least he still has courage!"

Tu Shuwa fell into Hu Qingyun's arms and cried bitterly, and the tense nerves that had been suppressed for so many days were finally released. No matter how strong she is, after all, she is still a little girl who has never experienced wind and rain, her grandfather's death has matured her a lot, and she has to shoulder the burden of escorting Hu Qingyun before she has time to be sad. Along the way, the Zhao family's several pursuits and killings made her evade the past, and every pass made her fearful, and she immediately avoided it at the slightest disturbance.

Hu Qingyun looked at Tu Shu, who was crying and fell asleep, and smiled, smoothed out the frowning brows, and wiped away the tears on his little face. There were some things he had been hesitating for a long time, and now it seemed that it was time to make a decision.

Hu Qingyun stood up, and Hu Qingyun didn't care about the pain under his feet. In the book, there is a golden house, there is Yan Ruyu, and there is more to help the world and save the people. He doesn't have a lofty goal, he just wants to tell some of the simplest truths to those cultivators who disregard human life, human life is not a mustard!

Hu Qingyun stood on the side of the road, raising his head and holding his chest high, he wanted to give justice to all the injustices in this world, he wanted to say a word for the lives of these ordinary mortals, all beings are equal, and he wanted to stop being afraid of those sleeping children in their sleep! If there is a hell to go to for this, he is willing to have a book in one hand and a butcher's knife in the other!

Li Yu entered the study, the whole person looked much more energetic, the haze of Hu Chen's departure was still there, Li Tingyi's arrival was like a beam of light in the night, and the warmth made Li Yu full of expectations for the future.

Li Jinheng threw Li Yu a secret scroll, Hu Qingyun's news was finally confirmed, the stone in Li Yu's heart fell to the ground, and he looked at Li Jinheng, who was admiring Wang Shouren's newly left ink treasure with both hands, and suddenly felt that he might have been wrong.
