In the north, the main city of the Yanjiang Promenade.

Chen Zhang finally returned to the main city of the Yanjiang Corridor, and after many days of recuperation, his illness had faded, and his whole person was refreshed, and his complexion looked much better than before.

The Eastern War is already in a state of preparation, the east needs enough manpower, Chen Zhang still hopes that Helan Que can go to the east to help, he is superior in force, and he also has his own ideas in terms of combat strategy, so he can let Helan Qiang go to the east, which is undoubtedly Xiang Ju'an's most advantageous helper.

Helan Yan did not shirk, he said to Chen Zhang: "It is my bounden duty to assist the general in the battle, but there is a matter for my subordinates, and I ask General Chen to allow it." ”

Chen Zhang said: "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Helan Yan pondered for a moment and said, "My subordinates hope that before going to the east, I can ask General Chen for leave and give me two days to go home to visit." ”

Every war is dangerous, and everyone who goes to fight on the battlefield may not come back alive.

His request was reasonable, and Chen Zhang had no reason to refuse.

Chen Zhang patted Helan Yan's shoulder and said, "Go ahead, it's good to go back and have a look." ”

After Helan Yan got permission, he went back to the house and cleaned up briefly, and after cleaning up, he walked to the door of Xiaoqingyuan's house and whispered, "Xiaoqingyuan, let's go." ”

Xiaoqing's face was confused, but he still didn't hesitate to follow him.

As long as Helan calls her, no matter where she is, she will follow.

Helan Yan only led a horse, he looked at Xiao Qingyuan, and said, "You don't know how to ride a horse, so ride a horse with me." ”

Xiao Qingyuan's face was flushed, he didn't move for a long time, and he twisted: "That's embarrassing." ”

Helan looked at her amusefully and said, "Then you can choose to walk." ”

As soon as Xiao Qingyuan heard this, he hurriedly climbed on the horse's back, and said as he climbed: "No, no, I still choose to ride with you." ”

After Helan Yan also stepped on the horse, Xiao Qingyuan's back was against his chest, and Helan Yan's snort was above her head, blowing her heart.

The hair fluttered with the heartbeat, and Xiao Qingyuan said unnaturally: "Brother Yan, isn't the border wall still unfinished?" How do you have time to take me out? ”

"The matter of border defense and city defense is no longer in my charge." There was a lightness in his voice, and he said, "Soon I will go to the east, remember what I promised you before, and take advantage of this time to help you achieve it." ”

"What?" Xiao Qingyuan was puzzled: "Aren't you going back to your home in the capital?" ”

The horse under the seat began to gallop with Helan Yan's "driving", Xiao Qingyuan had never ridden a horse, which suddenly startled her and leaned back.

"Hold on!" Helan Yan was more excited than the running horse at the moment, and his hearty laughter sounded above Xiao Qingyuan's head, and said, "We won't go anywhere, just go all the way to the south, to the south!" ”

"Really?!" Xiao Qingyuan's crisp laughter also sounded, and he said happily: "Great! I can finally go to the place where I want to go! ”

One horse and two people, passing through the spring forest in the north heart, the spring breeze in the capital, and then passing by the spring water in Nanqin.

Xiao Qingyuan is like a chirping bird all the way, and he is full of praise for every landscape in Xuli.

Finally crossed the southern border of Xuli and arrived at the place that the two of them longed for together - the south, the Qiangwu Kingdom.

When they arrived at the Qiangwu Kingdom, it was still raining lightly, Helan Yan and Xiao Qingyuan each booked a room in the inn, and waited until the rain gradually stopped, Helan Yan knocked on Xiao Qingyuan's door and said, "Go out and find something to eat." ”

As soon as he heard that he was going to look for food, Xiao Qingyuan quickly opened the door, jumped up and down and followed Helan Yan, and said, "Starve to death, starve to death, you can finally eat~"

The spicy rabbit of Qiangwu Country is the most famous, and the two of them can already smell the fragrant fragrance outside the store now, Helan asked Xiao Qingyuan: "Can you eat chili peppers?" ”

Xiao Qingyuan affirmed: "Of course, the spicier the better!" ”

Both of them smiled knowingly and strode into the store.

The spicy rabbit was quickly served on the table, a large pot, the rabbit meat was delicious, and it was spicy and refreshing with hemp fresh peppers.

Xiao Qingyuan was sweating profusely, and her mouth was swollen with spiciness, but her mouth didn't stop.

Helan Yan stared at this big pot of spicy rabbits and said, "This rabbit really has a unique flavor, I really can't imagine that rabbits can be so delicious if you don't come to this place!" ”

Xiao Qingyuan didn't care about talking, and feasted on rabbit meat, and soon a large pot of rabbit meat bottomed out, leaving only some side dishes and chili peppers.

"I say, Xiao Qingyuan." Helan Yan took a sip of tea and said, "I can't see it, you are not big, and the amount of food is really not small." ”

"Eat more to grow faster!" She didn't lift her head, and even picked up the rest of the peppers and ate them.

"Also, it's hard to come out of a trip, just to eat and have fun." Helan Yan looked at the outside of the store, it was bustling with people, and he continued: "Tomorrow I will find you a good carriage, you can go back to the north by yourself, and I will go directly to the eastern camp from here." ”

Xiao Qingyuan put down his chopsticks, the happiness on his face just now was swept away, and he begged: "Brother Yan, can't you take me to the east with you?" ”

Helan Yan said firmly: "No, the general is in the east, and he is highly disciplined, not as loose as the Yanjiang promenade in the north." What's more, I had important things to do in the past this time, so it's really inconvenient to take you with me. ”

Xiaoqing's face was lost, her shoulders also collapsed, and she whispered: "So, this time you take me out to play, it's the last time we stay together, right?" ”

Helan didn't know how to answer this question, Xiao Qingyuan stared at him, and he couldn't help but want to dodge.

The child did not give up, waiting for his answer.

Helan glanced outside, just in time to see a figure flashing on the street, his expression changing uncontrollably.

Almost instantly, Helan Yan stood up suddenly, raised his legs and rushed out of the door.

The man who made him think about it day and night, tossing and turning, and couldn't sleep, actually walked in front of his eyes like this.

It's been a long time since he's lost control like this, and it's as if this body isn't his anymore.

The last time I was so crazy was when I learned that she was gone.

It's been more than three years, it's been more than three years......

Outside, it was pouring light rain again, and people on the road opened their umbrellas, and soon there was a large area of moving oil-paper umbrellas on the street.

Helan ran in a hurry, and the water on his forehead could no longer distinguish whether it was sweat or rain. It wasn't until he ran to the end of an alley and there was no way out that he dragged his steps back in despair.

Around the corner of the downtown area, when he thought he had completely lost it, the figure unexpectedly appeared in front of his eyes again.

A white cigarette shirt, red lips and a thin nose, and a slender hand holding an oil-paper umbrella.

Water is the eye waves, and the eye waves are as clear as water.

Those watery eyes rippled slightly when they saw Helan Yan.

She didn't say anything, just one glance was enough to make Helan Yan breathless.

As soon as Helan Yan spoke, his voice was already astringent: "What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here." ”

The woman nodded slightly and said, "It's a coincidence." ”

A thousand words, I don't know where to start. Helan Yan had many greetings in his mind, and in the end, he only said one: "What about him?" ”

Seeing the woman's puzzled face, he said again: "He Lanxiao, my brother." ”

The woman shook her head and said, "Since I returned to the Qiangwu Kingdom, I haven't seen him again. ”

Helan didn't expect such an answer. That year, her father came forward and forced her away, and He Lanxiao also followed her to the south after knowing about it......

It's been more than three years, and the two of them haven't been together?!

Helan Yan stared into her eyes, and with difficulty called out the name that had been engraved on his heart: "...... of the water"

"Tongyi, how have you been doing in the past few years?"

The person in front of him is his sweetheart, and the words he asks are also the words of his heart.

He nodded a little and said softly: "Very good, second son, I am already married." ”

Only then did Helan notice that her green hair was not as scattered as in the past, and now she had all her hair curled up and combed into a bun, and there were no too many pendants on her head, only a thin hairpin in her hair.

She's changed completely.

The cold temperament she used to have in her body has now only turned into the gentleness of marrying another woman.

It's a pity that this gentleness will never belong to him.

Helan Yan was stunned for the moment, as if he couldn't believe it, he repeated the sentence again: "It's ...... Married? ”

Rub your head a little bit.

"That's good." Helan Yan stiffly smiled and said: "That's good, I'm sorry for you, it's our Helan family who is sorry for you, it's good that you get married, at least you didn't delay your ...... with our brothers."

As he spoke, the tears in his eyes kept flickering, and Helan Yan endured it for a long time before he suppressed the emotions that were about to come out of his chest.

"Shui Yi." Helan Yan's lips moved, and he still asked, "Actually, I've always wanted to know, and I want to hear it from your mouth...... Have you ever liked me? ”

"Even if it's only for a moment, have you ever had feelings for me?"

After saying these few words, it seemed that all his strength was exhausted.

Helan Yan waited for her to answer, frowned slightly, and seriously thought about it, the moment she hesitated, to Helan Yan, it seemed that hundreds of years had passed.

She still shook her head and said, "Second son, I am married, and I shouldn't have told you this here." But if you insist on asking, then I will answer you—"

Yun Yi said firmly: "Second son, I have never liked you, I have made it clear to you before, I am grateful to you for saving my life, but that is just gratitude." I've never liked you from beginning to end. ”

Helan Yan's face turned pale, and he said softly after a while: "Okay, good." ”

"Brother Lang!" Xiao Qingyuan's voice suddenly sounded: "Let's go, wait for the rain to fall heavily!" ”

She jumped over, grabbed Helan Yan's arm, and said, "Is this your friend?" Next time we have time, invite her to play at home, we have to leave. ”

Helan Yan didn't react, and was pulled away by Xiao Qingyuan.

Before he could say goodbye, he looked back at Yun Yi, who was still standing in place, but was pulled tighter by Xiao Qingyuan.

"Brother Yan, don't look back!"

"If you turn back, you will lose, and a man can't lose face at this time."

The ground was damp, and my heart was full of mud. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and people on the road were walking quickly.

Helan was pulled by Xiao Qingyuan and ran in the rain, and a child like her probably didn't know the taste of sorrow.

If there is any pain, it is good to eat and sleep well. Helan looked at her back and whispered, "Xiao Qingyuan." ”

Xiao Qingyuan didn't look back, Helan was behind her, and she couldn't see her expression.

The rain was pouring down, and she opened her mouth, and her tears flowed unscrupulously with the rain.
