Xia Qian untied the concentric knot around his waist, tied it to Huo Zun seriously, took off the repaired one on his body and said: "You have broken this one before, you have to protect it carefully, I don't have to travel thousands of miles, I don't have to fight on the battlefield, it's safer to wear!" ”

He looked closely at the concentric knot she had just tied around her waist, lay on her side on the bed and scratched her nose and smiled: "At most a year, I will definitely come back to accompany you!" ”

"A year? Didn't you say three to six months? How has it changed again? ”

"Under normal circumstances, six months is enough, and one year is the maximum period!"

She slammed her mount from the bed and looked at him anxiously: "What is the longest period, I want you to come back as soon as possible, unscathed!" ”

A smile spread across his lips, pulling her to recline beside him again.

"There is no danger here, I will come back soon. But you, no matter what happens, have to stay in Qinglong City and wait for me to come back! Huo Zun looked at her and said with a serious face.

Xia Qian glanced at him disdainfully, and said sarcastically: "How do you say this, as if I made a big mistake and wanted to abscond in fear of crime?" ”

"Can you escape by absconding in fear of sin? Even if you dig three feet into the ground, I will pull you out and scrape you one by one! ”

When he said this, he held his forehead with one hand, and the other hand gestured between her eyebrows, his eyes were cold, and his expression was extremely serious.

Xia Qian couldn't help but tremble in her heart, glanced at him fiercely, turned over and turned out of the bed.

"Just kidding, you're interested?"

His words came from behind her, and she ignored them, staring at the bags on his desk, all on her mind.

Huo Zun looked at his back, his fingers knocked silently on the quilt a few times, stuck to her shoulders, buried his face in her hair as always, and sniffed fiercely.

This time it was different, as if he wanted to remember her breath, and as if he was looking for some kind of answer.

After exhaling lightly, he touched her heart with his fingers, tickling her chuckles.

"I'm still drinking medicine to recuperate, you are not allowed to touch it!"

He laughed along and sneered, "You think too much, I just want to feel your heartbeat!" ”

Xia Qian chuckled, turned around and lay flat, letting him put his ear to her heart.

"Yes, every time I beat, I am saying three words - you love me!" He curled his lips and smiled.

"It's not love, it's love!"

He left a light kiss on her eyebrows and said frankly, "I know, it just so happens that I love you too." Therefore, I will ask the old man to give us a marriage of life and eternity. The heart is printed, the shadow follows, the birth is the same nest, the death is the same hole, but ......"

He didn't say anything more, and bowed his head and gave her a deep kiss.

That night, she got up as usual, but when she went back to bed, she found that one of his bags had been opened, because the bow on it was pulled off by herself, so it was obvious at a glance.

In the blink of an eye, he found that the parchment bag she had filled for him earlier had been taken out and placed on a back box under the desk.

The place was so hidden that if she hadn't accidentally glanced under the desk when she put her shoes down, it would have been hard to find even for a decade or so.

Seeing that Huo Zun was sleeping deeply, she rubbed her eyes, and went over barefoot to put the sheepskin bag back into the bag she had before.

In order to prevent Huo Zun from finding out, he specially tied it into an ordinary knot.

Huo Zun slept facing the wall, and when Xia Qian returned to bed, he was still in the same sleeping position as when she got up, as quiet as before.

In the past, he slept with her in his arms from behind, and this night, he said that he was busy for a few days and wanted to get a good night's sleep, so he made an exception and slept in the bed facing the wall.

Looking at his back, she was reluctant and attached, gently hugged him, and lay her head on his broad shoulders.

He listened to the movement in the room, his eyelids raised, his clenched fingers moved slightly, and he continued to pretend to be asleep.

As she held him from behind, he lay on his side on the bed like a breathing stone sculpture.

The dumplings that saw off the wind were noodles, and his send-off dumplings Xia Qian were wrapped in the afternoon of the same day.

But when she woke up the next day, Huo Zun was gone, and the snow-white raw dumplings were still neatly arranged in the kitchen.

Qingyue said that Huo Zun left an hour earlier than he had said before, and when Xia Qian chased out of the city gate, the Nanshan camp was already empty.

Staring at the empty camp, her heart collapsed like a corner, and it was empty.

"I didn't leave until dawn when I said I was going to go, why did I leave an hour earlier?" Xia Qian looked at the surging vain river and muttered to herself.

"Young lady, look at the clouds overhead, it must be that the young master saw that it was going to rain, and he was in a hurry, so he was an hour in advance! When he left, he said that you slept soundly, and deliberately didn't let me alarm you! Qingyue looked at the sky and explained.

Xia Qian raised her eyes and saw that there was indeed a huge cloud overhead.

Looking at the three big words "Qinglong City" on the city gate, she suddenly thought of one thing - today, it was the day when she had just been in Qinglong City for a year.

With a blank mind in her mind, she stood at the gate of Nancheng for a while, and she reluctantly returned to the tea house.

More than a month later, when Xia Qian went to see the acacia wine she brewed again, she found that the wine was jet black, and the pungent and sour smell after opening the altar surprised the entire tea house.

Soon, Kuo Tianchen shook the court because of the embezzlement of the military salary of the pro-military camp, and they all said that the amount was so large that it could be enough for the expenses of the pro-military camp for three years.

Actually, Xia Qian had known about this for a long time.

On the day of the opening of her teahouse, in order to prevent Kuo Tianchen from making trouble, Huo Zun gave her two letters, one of which was Kuo Tianchen's embezzlement of military salaries. But at this time, the matter was exposed, and she didn't know if Kuo Tianchen was careless, or if someone deliberately did it.

In order to protect his son, the king took out his savings from his house for many years to fill the hole.

Although Kuo Tianchen was not severely punished, he once again lost his position as the commander of the pro-army.

This autumn has seen a lot of rain, and I heard that the crops outside the city are rotten.

Xia Qian often leaned in front of the window, thinking that the rainy season in the south must be even more rainy than here.

After nearly a month of rain, the Xuyu River flooded, flooding many villages, towns and farmland along the river.

There are many people who are hungry and cold, displaced, and exiled to Qinglong City, and the emperor is anxious about disaster relief.

The reason why this matter is difficult is not that the treasury of Yiguo is empty, but that there is really no suitable person for disaster relief for a while.

Qingtian Wangfu is still on the cusp because of Kuo Tianchen's affairs, and after Huo Feng of the General's Mansion came back from Cangmang Mountain, he has been depressed for Lin's illness, and the whole person has lost weight.

The Prime Minister's Mansion Lu Xuwen has a weak system and can't stand the toss, Lu Jingheng has just been promoted to the commander of the 100,000 pro-army, and he is too busy with things in the army to get away.

After arguing for a long time in the court, he finally handed over this great responsibility to Li Mao, the young son of Shangshu Mansion.

Hearing that the emperor chose Li Mao to go to the disaster relief, Xia Qian privately relieved the people who were affected by the disaster, because Huo Zun once said that among the five women who married Nankang, the one who married Li Mao was the easiest to get happiness.

Although Xia Qian didn't understand why the singer died early, Huo Zun was convinced of this person's evaluation.

After the flood of the Xuyu River, the autumn crops were not harvested.

This time for disaster relief, the king of Yi almost spent all the savings of the national treasury, and Li Mao ran around for the disaster relief, but fortunately, the results were remarkable, and the official position was second-level, and he became a civil official of the fourth grade of the dynasty.

One day, Mingyu came to the teahouse and said that the general had invited her back to her house.

Xia Qian was confused, and quickly returned to the General's Mansion with Qingyue and Yu Nuan.
