In the bleak autumn wind, Xiangyang City ushered in November. Xiao Qingyun received an urgent military report from Qingzhou for 800 miles. Shen Rongzhi told him that after Zhao Hu learned that he was not in Qingzhou, he sent people to attack Pingyuan County, and took advantage of the cadre army to cut off the connection between King Ding and Pingyuan County, and collected many cities in Pingyuan County. Seeing that Zhao Hu was about to seize Pingyuan County and attack Linjiang, he asked Xiao Qingyun to come back quickly after receiving the military report.

Xiao Qingyun knew that although he had subdued the Qingzhou soldiers of Linjiang, he was not his descendant after all, and if he did not sit in Linjiang, it was likely that the people's hearts would be unstable and they would be captured by Zhao Hu's men. And at present, Zheng Rong also brought a group of soldiers and horses to attack the king of Ding, who was in Donglai, and if he wanted to fight on two fronts, he needed to go back to command the town to settle people's hearts.

Lan Jing'an knew that from the moment Xiao Qingyun appeared on the Han River for her, it was equivalent to exposing the fact that Xiao Qingyun was not in Qingzhou, and Yuwen Moyuan and Zhao Hu would definitely take action. I just didn't expect the offensive to come so quickly and so fiercely. Even if she is reluctant, she has to ask Brother Qingyun to return to Qingzhou as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation.

On the third day of November, this was Xiao Qingyun's last day in Xiangyang City. He politely refused Lu Min's send-off banquet, and had dinner alone with Lan Jing'an behind closed doors. Lan Jing'an personally cooked for him, and Xiao Qingyun also came to the kitchen to help her. After Lan Jing'an made a few dishes, Xiao Qingyun personally went into battle, burned a pork rib soup for her, and roasted a few wild fowl.

Lan Jing'an didn't expect Brother Qingyun to be able to cook, but he watched him busy with fun. Xiao Qingyun's posture of cooking is much more skilled than Lan Jing'an's, especially the roasted wild fowl, which is very flavorful, and the strong smell alone makes Lan Jing'an's index finger move.

The two of them brought the food to the table, Xiao Qingyun took the lead in serving soup to Lan Jing'an, and then tore a piece of flying dragon meat for her and put it in the bowl. Lan Jing'an took a bite of the flying dragon, and she didn't care about the heat, she just wanted to feast. She tasted another bite of pork rib soup, which was also fragrant on her teeth and cheeks, so that she couldn't stop drinking. I didn't expect Brother Qingyun to have such good craftsmanship, which really impressed her. She hurriedly asked where Brother Qingyun learned it.

Xiao Qingyun saw that she liked it, and she was also happy, and told her that she first learned it in the Northwest Army. However, there are few materials in the northwest, and two meals a day are dry food and water, and occasionally there are pickles that are considered good. Only when I was a scout, I often walked through the wild forest alone, and occasionally had time to bake a hare pheasant or something to eat. He also slowly figured out his experience in the barbecue.

In the recent year, there was an incident in the south, and the supplies in Jingyang and Yang were much richer than those in the northwest, and he often went to the army's room to inspect the diet of the sergeants, and stole a trick or two. However, this pork rib soup is the first time I have made it, and I didn't expect to be embarrassed in front of Ahri.

Lan Jing'an let Brother Qingyun taste the dishes he made again, and Xiao Qingyun smiled and praised her for doing a good job. Lan Jing'an didn't dare to believe it, and after tasting it himself, he nodded with satisfaction. The two of them couldn't help but recall the first time Lan Jing'an cooked, at that time, her craftsmanship was really not related to the color and fragrance at all. Biluan and Bi Kite made fun of her for several days because of this, saying that they would not eat her food. It was Brother Qingyun who gave face, so he became her first and only diner.

Xiao Qingyun told the truth at this time: "Ahri, you didn't do very well at that time, and I gritted my teeth to eat it." In particular, there was a dish where you put too much salt, and I drank two jars of water later to avoid being salted to death. Lan Jing'an asked him teasingly: "Then Brother Qingyun, are you still eating?" And there is not a single bit left to eat. ”

Xiao Qingyun smiled rarely, and said proudly: "If I eat it, you won't harm others." And since then, have you only made it for me and never made it for anyone else? That's where I'm smart. Lan Jing'an laughed, and couldn't help but kick him lightly with his foot: "Okay, it turns out that I was set so early." Today I will punish you and me for eating all the dishes on the table. ”

The two of them talked and laughed, and they were full after dinner, so they could only go out to eat and come back. Xiao Qingyun didn't want to alarm others, so he sneaked out of the house with her and climbed the corner tower in the northwest corner of Xiangyang City. The soldiers on the corner tower were astonished when they saw them, and hurried to salute. Xiao Qingyun waved his hand, signaling the two of them to just come up and take a casual look, and let the soldiers do what they should do, and leave them alone.

The soldiers had long heard that the marshal was not good for Xiao Si Ming, although Xiao Si Ming was wrapped in a big man, and his head was half bowed, so that people could not see his expression, but he didn't want others to disturb them. The soldiers guarding the corner tower looked at each other, and walked far away from the two of them, turning their backs from the two of them.

Xiao Qingyun first took her to the side of the inner city, found a smooth stone platform with leeward, and hugged Lan Jing'an to enjoy the lights of thousands of homes in Xiangyang City. Neither of them spoke, just snuggled together quietly, feeling the glow in the silence.

After a while, Xiao Qingyun noticed that Lan Jing'an's hands were a little cold, so he hugged her down, pulled her to walk a few steps, and moved her body. The two of them turned to the north side facing the Han River, and the sound of the Han Water lapping on the shore was clearly audible. Across the Han River, Fancheng, which is far away, is full of shadows in the dark.

Xiao Qingyun pointed to Fancheng on the other side and said to Lan Jing'an: "One day, we will cross here and go north. When we attack Yonghua City, I will definitely let the Yuwen clan not leave a single man!" For you, for us, for the Marquis of Dingyuan, and for all the people of the world who have been persecuted by the Yuwen clan! Lan Jing'an looked at the place he pointed at from afar, and said firmly: "When that day comes, I will definitely kill Yuwen Mochi and Yuwen Moyuan with my own hands!" ”

Xiao Qingyun hugged her tighter, he knew her hatred for Yuwen Mochi, she was going to kill him with her own hands, Xiao Qingyun didn't doubt it at all. But this was the first time he had heard Ahri say that he was going to kill Yuwen Moyuan with his own hands. Although she hated him, he also lived with her for a year, did she really do it? However, Xiao Qingyun didn't ask this sentence, he just quietly hugged Ahri. For Xiao Qingyun, she is in her arms, and this is enough.

This night, the two slept together again. Thinking that he would be leaving the next day, Xiao Qingyun was really reluctant to take his eyes off Ahri's body. And Lan Jing'an felt the same way, so he acquiesced to Xiao Qingyun to stay by his bedside and talk until the lights were dim. She took the initiative to untie Xiao Qingyun's hair, and the two of them lay together gently, like last time, lying down with their clothes.

The next day, before the rooster crowed, Xiao Qingyun had already gotten up, and Lan Jing'an reluctantly sent him out. His baggage had already been cleaned up for him by Lan Jing'an, and there was also a shirt that she had specially made for him in the past few days. Lan Jing'an took Biluan to ride a horse to see him off.

When Xiao Qingyun left, he took Wu Wei and Qiu Shaoze away, which was still strongly requested by Lan Jingan. She felt that good men had ambitions in all directions, and the two of them had already delayed a good opportunity to make contributions in the army for a year because of looking for her, and she didn't want to drag them down anymore. And with these two people by Brother Qingyun's side to protect him, he can feel more at ease.

Xiao Qingyun couldn't, so he could only listen to Lan Jing'an's request, but he still asked Lu Min to take good care of Lan Jing'an, and as long as she recovered and became the chief secretary in Jiangling, he would send her to Qingzhou as soon as possible. Lu Min agreed. In fact, even if there is no marshal's entrustment, as a small commander, they will definitely take good care of her respectfully.

The long pavilion and short pavilion of Lanjing'an have been sent one ride after another. But to send you a thousand miles, you must say goodbye in the end. She could only be ruthless and watch Brother Qingyun leave with his subordinates.
