Chapter 26: The Cold War

For many days to come, Qinghuan didn't go to deliver food.

According to Agu's feedback, Li Yan still looks sluggish. Qing Huan was a little worried, so he said, "You ask him, what's wrong." “

"Madame, think I didn't ask? He completely ignored me. “

Qing Huan couldn't think of why, but she didn't ask.

After a few more days, Zhang San and Li Si were also escorted to the place. Before they were about to be sent to the city, Zhang San walked up to their car and said, "Madam, he said he wanted to see the coachman." “

Qing Huan was puzzled when he heard it, but he still let Yuan Chao go.

Looking at Yuan Chao from afar, they talked for a while, and Yuan Chao came back. Qing Huan couldn't help but ask him, "What did he say to you?" “

"Mrs. Hui, the son said that in the future, the subordinates will be responsible for the affairs of the officials."

"Why did he say that?"

Yuan Chao replied honestly: "Childe is worried that his wife will be bullied again. “

Li Yan knows everything.

So why did he still do this to himself? Qing Huan couldn't figure it out, but she really wanted to question him.

So after settling in, she couldn't wait to go. Li Yan was not surprised to see her coming, he just sat in the corner, and the whole person was in the dark.

As soon as Qing Huan met, he asked, "You know everything?" Are you sad about this? ”

This time he replied and said coldly: "You think too much, I have my own business." ”

Qing Huan was speechless for a while, could it be that he was self-inflicted again? There is a trace of anger in the loss, a trace of self-abandonment, anger because he is so unappreciative, and self-abandonment because he is too humble.

She couldn't find a word to express her feelings, she wanted to get angry at him, but weren't these self-inflicted?

She wants to cry, but what's the use of crying, it will only make her more humble? She could only be silent, looking at him with complicated eyes.

Li Yan in the dark did not look at her, but closed his eyes and did not speak.

Qing Huan was silent for a while, suppressing the emotions in his heart, thinking about his situation, he should be more uncomfortable than himself. So she handed it in and said in a soothing tone, "Eat it while it's hot." “

Li Yan stretched out his hand from the darkness and took it, still silent. Qing Huan waited for him to finish eating, cleaned up by himself, wanted to comfort him, but felt redundant, and finally left in silence.

Obviously, not long ago, Qing Huan felt that the relationship between them had improved a little. But I don't know when it began, and the distance between them began to get farther and farther away.

This relationship made her feel very depressed, as if every meeting was an awkwardness.

changed people and set off again, and after a long time, she realized that maybe she just couldn't give up this love, not this person.

If he gives up, everything he has paid for him will be like a treasure that sinks into the river, and it is a pity to abandon it, but it will not be able to catch anything.

Qing Huan was hesitating, whether to give up or continue. After two days of struggling like this, Agu said to her, "Madam, we will reach the last stop tomorrow." “

Qing Huan was in a trance, "Arrived at Bashan?" “

Agu shook his head, "No, I'm going to enter Bashan." The road behind is not carable, only walking. “

Qing Huan thought, should he give up here and stop following the rest of the road?

In this way, you will avoid losing more treasures and suffering from it.

Intellectually, this is the best way to go.

But emotionally, Qing Huan still can't give up. She always thinks about her promise to Chu Yi and never gives up when the prince is in trouble, but this is just an excuse for herself.

Unrequited love, how tormenting!

Qing Huan remembered an unrequited love in college, and hesitated for four years, until the boy finally left the city and the two had no contact, Qing Huan completely died.

In the past four years, she has struggled countless times and given up countless times, but as long as the person shows a little kindness, the flame of hope in her heart begins to burn again, until the person extinguishes it with his own hands. So repeatedly, tossed for four years.

She knows the bitterness of unrequited love, and after the failure of that crush, she once vowed never to be tempted again.

However, here in Li Yan, she fell again. She tried to escape, failed, she wanted to go on, and was rejected. Now it's a dilemma, just see if you can be ruthless.

Sure enough, the next day we arrived at a small town. It doesn't feel like a town anymore, it's more like a bigger bazaar. After saying goodbye to the two officials, Qing Huan was ready to settle here.

She asked Agu to pack up her things and go out by herself to inquire where there were houses, but she was stopped by Yuan Chao: "The subordinates will arrange everything, and Madame should not go out." “

"I'm tired, but this time I just want to ask where there are free houses."

Yuan Chao asked puzzledly, "What does Madam mean?" “

"I'm going to live here again."

Yuan Chao was a little surprised when he heard this, "Madame doesn't plan to continue to follow Gongzi?" “

Qing Huan shook his head with a smile.

Yuan Chao didn't say much and let her go. This town is very small, and it didn't take long for Qinghuan to walk around. When she saw a kind old lady, she went up and asked.

However, after asking many people, they all said that there were no idle houses in the town. Qing Huan was a little lost, could it be that God would be like this? Definitely not, there must be, but I'm not familiar with it when I first arrived.

So Qing Huan decided to come out to look for it the next day.

When he returned to the store, Agu packed up his things, but he looked a little lonely. Qing Huan asked her, "Did something happen?" “

Agu looked up at her, "Does Madame really want to settle here?"

Qing Huan didn't understand why she was like this, didn't she always want to leave Li Yan?

"Didn't you always expect me to leave him? Don't I think it's good to leave now? ”

Although Agu was nodding, the loss in his eyes could not be concealed. Qing Huan jokingly said, "Do you think this place is not good?" ”

Agu shook his head, and stopped talking. Qing Huan sat next to her, took her hand, and said softly, "Say, what can't we say between us?" ”

Ah Gu lowered his head, "Madam doesn't know, although Yuan Chao can only be sent here, but General Qin's meaning is not that Yuan Chao will go back when he arrives here, but that he will always follow Gongzi." I ..............."

The latter words Agu didn't say, and Qing Huan also understood. Yuan Chao wants to follow him all the time, if I stay here, it will be a dilemma for Ah Gu. Qing Huan finally made up her mind, but faced such a situation again.

Seeing Qinghuan's dazed appearance, Agu hurriedly said, "Madam, I should follow you." I shouldn't have said that, I'd better do what Madame wants. “

Qing Huan smiled slightly and patted her hand, "Can you let me think about it again?" “

Ah Gu was a little reluctant and said, "Madame doesn't have to change her mind because of Ah Gu's matter, it's me who is too selfish, and it's me who ..........."

"Alright," Qing Huan interrupted her, "I'll make my own decisions." It's you and Yuan Chao? “

When Ah Gu heard Yuan Chao, his face was slightly red, and he whispered, "He said he would marry me." “

Qing Huan was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "When did you get to the point of talking about marriage?" “

Ah Gu said carefully and listened to Qinghuan.

It turned out that when Qing Huan was in a trance these days, the relationship between the two heated up rapidly, and he didn't realize it at all. When he saw Agu talking about these things, he looked happy. Qinghuan is very happy for her, and it is the best state for the two to be happy. Thinking of this, Qing Huan couldn't help but feel a little envious and jealous.

At night, Qing Huan always saw Agu's happy smiling face in front of him, and he couldn't be ruthless anymore. You can't break them up, it's just heaven's will.

The next day, Qing Huan began to work on the future itinerary.

At the suggestion of Yuan Chao, they used the carriage and added a little money, got a new horse, and bought another one. There are two horses to walk around, which also relieves some of the fatigue on the road. I bought some dry food and daily necessities.

Qing Huan also took the voucher given by General Qin to Yuan Chao and asked him to exchange it for cash.

But there weren't so many in the town, so I had to give up. The three of them finally counted all the money on their bodies, and it was probably enough to support their destination. Once everything was ready, we set out on a new journey the next day.

It wasn't until the next day that Qing Huan discovered a problem, there were only two horses, and he rode one by himself, so Yuan Chao and Agu rode one? Just thinking about it makes me feel a little wrong.

Because Qinghuan doesn't want to be that big light bulb, and he doesn't want to be that abused single dog. When he was struggling, he saw Yuan Chao put the salute on one horse, and the other horse took care of it, led it over, and let Qing Huan ride. Qing Huan asked in surprise, "What about you?" “

Yuan Chao said: "The subordinates are naturally leading the horses. “

"What about Agu?"

Yuan Chao still said seriously: "She naturally went with me. “

Qing Huan felt that he was treating himself too well, so he turned to Ah Gu and said, "If you are tired of walking, come up and we will be together." “

"Madame, don't worry about me."

Later, Qing Huan knew why she didn't have to worry about her, she was happy to walk below with Yuan Chao, and she wouldn't seem so redundant when she rode on a horse.

But the road behind is not so comfortable. The mountain road is so rough that you can't walk on a horse, so you have to be prepared to come down and walk at any time.

And on Li Yan's side, when the officials left the town with a good job, they put shackles on him decently, but when they walked to a place where no one could see them, they hurriedly took them off.

Qing Huan only watched Li Yan's silent back from a distance. When I think about it, the two haven't spoken for many days. If she had seen this scene before, Qing Huan didn't know how much pain it felt in her heart, but at this time, her heart was unexpectedly undisturbed.

It's also a good thing that she no longer feels heartache for Li Yan.

It would be more natural for the two to get along as friends. But what Qing Huan is worried about is that he will give her some sweetness to eat again, and her heart will be tied to him again, and Qing Huan can't do anything about this, she can only choose to go with the flow.

It seems that the feelings for Li Yan disappeared overnight, at least for now.

Without emotional support, Qing Huan felt that the journey was extremely difficult. It was the middle of winter, and the cold wind was blowing and his face was painful, and he lacked adequate warmth measures, causing Qinghuan's hands and feet to be frozen red.

Now that the roads are becoming more and more sparsely populated, they have to hurry during the day so as not to find a place to stay before dark, and spending the night in the wilderness is extremely dangerous and difficult.

Moreover, there are no people on the road, and you can only eat cold steamed buns at noon to satisfy your hunger, and the hardships along the way cannot be expressed one by one.
