Li Qinghuan

Chapter 109

Two days after Yu Du received the battle report, the news of He Li's disappearance was sent back to the court, causing an uproar immediately.Ji Qing's expression didn't fluctuate in the main hall, and he went straight to the Panlong Hall after the court, and asked to escort the army rations to Lancheng.

Ji Qing took on a big responsibility, and the court couldn't do without him for a while, so Song Duan naturally didn't allow it.

So Master Ji left Yu Du without saying a word that night.

The Qi family in the court has a high position and authority, and they used to fight Song Duan to death. At that time, they were too eager for quick success. In order to stabilize the situation in the court, they gave half of the military power to Qi Baisheng. Now the half of the military talisman has become Song Duan's throat. With a thorn in his hand, he managed to get back a lot of real power from Qi Bosheng under Ji Qing's plan. He is still young, and there are not many people around him. If there is no Ji Qing, he will not be able to deal with it. A group of old foxes.At present, there are both internal and external troubles, and it is a critical juncture, so we must not quarrel with Ji Qing.Although Song Duan had doubts in his heart, he still stood by Ji Qing's side.

The day after Ji Qing escaped, he drew up an imperial decree to increase the number of troops, sent people to escort the army rations to the northern border, and announced to the outside world that Ji Qing would go for him to condolences to the soldiers who defended the country in the northwest.

The situation in the Northwest is not optimistic either. It took more than half a month for the two sides to temporarily truce.As soon as He Huaizhou came down from the city wall, he heard that Yu Du had come and was waiting in the tent.

The battle with Donghu was so fierce. The two sides were at a stalemate for a city. The Red Wing Army lost nearly two or three out of ten in just one month. I don't like it.With a dark face, he entered the main tent, and the moment he saw the person coming, all the displeasure disappeared instantly.

Ji Qing got up and cupped his hands and said, "I've seen General He."

"Ji Qing? Why are you here?" He Huaizhou was surprised and delighted, he was stunned, and then remembered the disappearance of He Li, his smile gradually faded, "Ah Li is gone."

Ji Qing's face was indifferent, and his hands were tightly clenched under the sleeves of his robe: "Grandfather, I came to look for him. If I can't find him, I won't go back."

He Huaizhou was startled, knowing that Ji Qing had planned to come and go, "Ji Qing..."

"You don't need to persuade me, the general. I have made arrangements for everything in the court, and I won't lose the soldiers."

Before Ji Qing came, he handed over all the things he hadn't finished to his subordinates one by one. It was not what he wanted to disturb the situation in the temple. From the beginning, he became an official in the court for the purpose of congratulating him. What about Song Duan? It has nothing to do with him, nor does the people of the world have anything to do with him. Old General He is He Li's only relative, and Ji Qing will make arrangements for it. If He Li can't be found, then it's pointless for him to go back.

And He Huaizhou also knew that if He Li was still alive, Ji Qing would definitely be able to get him back, and would definitely get him back, and if He Li was gone, Ji Qing would definitely not let him bury his body in the wilderness.

The old general looked at the young man in front of him, feeling a little sad in his heart, "Bring him back."

Ji Qing looked neither happy nor sad. He lifted his robe and knelt down in front of He Huaizhou: "Grandfather, I will try my best to find him. If I can't find him, I will accompany him."

He Huaizhou reached out and patted his shoulder, lowering his eyes so that people couldn't see the emotion in his eyes: "Okay."

Ji Qing didn't delay anymore, he kowtowed three times to He Huaizhou, got up and left.

In the stalemate with Hu Jun for nearly two months, the opponent's offensive has not weakened at all. After this battle is over, the two sides do not know how many soldiers will be lost.This is not the first time He Huaizhou has seen such a tragic situation. He has experienced too much and has become a little numb.You must know that once he is successful, he has been wandering in the sea of ​​blood and corpses for many years. The only thing he can do is to try his best to make his own people less damaged. Central Plains is enough.

He Huaizhou's daughter died in the deep palace, and now his grandson is also missing on the battlefield. The old general didn't know if it was because his murder was too heavy, and the retribution was given to his descendants.He only knew that he had no regrets, no regrets for trying his best to resist those invaders, no regrets for letting He Li come to the northwest to look for him, the old general had experienced the pain of bereavement and the loss of his family.He doesn't want to let the people in this world experience the same pain as him. In this position, he doesn't want to ask why or why, he just wants to have a clear conscience.

Ji Qing took no one with him, only a map, some dry food and water, and entered the northern border alone, crossed the snow-capped mountains, and entered the desert.

When Ji Qing went to look for He Li, He Huaizhou began to focus on dealing with the Donghu people, but for some reason, part of the Donghu army started to retreat.

When the Red Wing Army was wondering what Donghu was planning to do, a good news came from an army sent to pursue Donghu, saying that a young general in the Red Wing Army had brought a team of about 500 people. After a few hundred miles, the team arrived at Donghu's old den, raided several of their tribes, and beheaded nearly 3000 people. The second son of Donghu Ana Shijier Khan happened to be patrolling one of the tribes and unfortunately died.

At this time, the enemy was attacked, forcing Donghu to send some troops back to support. The offensive of the Donghu army in the north gradually weakened.

And the army that made a surprise attack left the desert long before the Donghu reinforcements arrived.

The leader, He Li, led all the soldiers into the snow-capped mountains, holding the beef jerky he had snatched from the barbarian, chewed a couple of mouthfuls, raised his head and gulped down two mouthfuls of water, complaining: "This barbarian eats these things! ?”

Luo Ran, who was following him, smiled when he saw this: "The little general didn't think it was bad when he ate grass roots two days ago."

He Li laughed a few times, but didn't answer, he thought he would get lost and hit Donghu's lair by accident?

That day, He Li lost his way with General Han Jue at the Duogan River after being dispersed by Donghu's army. There were only a few hundred cavalrymen around him, and the map he was carrying fell into the river in the chaos. Where did you go.

He Li confidently rejected Luo Ran's request to lead the way, saying that he wanted to bring his soldiers back to Lancheng, but unexpectedly he went in the opposite direction from the beginning, and walked directly into the desert.

At that time, He Li looked at the camp stationed on the grassland from a distance, turned to look at Luo Ran, and asked guiltily, "What kind of place is this?"

Luo Ran looked at him expressionlessly: "Little General, if I'm not mistaken, this is the Nadole Department of Donghu."

The flag floating in the distance seemed to prove Luo Ran's conjecture, He Li felt even more guilty, and whispered: "Is this Donghu's old den?"

Luo Ran didn't know how to answer, so she nodded.

He Li stood on the spot and pondered for a long time, reflecting on himself from the inside to the outside, and finally thought that everything had come, so he simply fought a battle before going back, and led his men to dig some grass roots to fill their stomachs and fight in.

That night, Nadole's troops broke into a big Wei team, and suffered heavy losses, with nearly a thousand casualties.Murder and arson were fine, but what was even more exaggerated was that He Li raised his hand and shot down the flag that symbolized their tribe floating above the Dole Tribe, and used it to catch the stolen meat.

How could it be possible for the Dole tribe to bear this shame and humiliation, and immediately led people to hunt down He Li, but it was a pity that He Li also knew that he was short of troops, so he ran away after the fight, and he was gone by the time they realized it.

He Li was thoughtful, he understood the principle of keeping a bowl of water level, and he couldn't just favor the Nadole tribe. As a general, he had to know how to share the rain and dew, so he led his people and fled to the west.He greeted the tribes he met along the way one by one, and even wiped out an entire small tribe. Only when he was wanted by the Donghu Royal Court did He Li realize how many high-ranking Donghu officials he had killed, and he even killed the second prince of Donghu, making the grassland whole Some small tribes in the world are panicked.

He Li didn't have enough troops, so he didn't stay any longer.Having killed enough to run this trip, Ben'er began to retreat, and took advantage of the chaos to catch a few Donghu people on the road to lead the way, and let them escape the Donghu pursuers with them, and then left the desert unharmed.

The group of people lost the rush and panic when they came here, and shuttled slowly among the mountains.The mountains in Mobei are no different than the Central Plains, they are bare, and you can't even see the shadow of a green leaf. He Li led his soldiers to walk among the ravines in the mountains without any haste.

He Li blinked, as if he saw a flashing shadow in the distance, he raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, and said, "Luo Ran, you said that there would be people dressed in clean clothes in this kind of place. Is it?"

Luo Ran obviously didn't understand what he meant, and asked, "What?"

He Li took down the bow on his back with his backhand, fixed his eyes on one direction, and drew the bow and set the arrow in one go.Naturally, there is no reason not to shoot the arrow on the string. He Li pulled the bow with all his strength, and when he let go, the arrow was accurately nailed to a dead tree with a crooked neck, "Chase!"

As soon as these words came out, Luo Ran immediately understood what He Li meant, and immediately rode forward like the arrow just now.He Li led the people and continued to drive forward at a leisurely pace. When he saw the people Luo Ran was leading, the relaxed look he put on immediately disappeared.

He Lifei got off his horse and ran to Ji Qing, "Heming!"

Ji Qing's eyes were red, his hair was a little messy, and his white robe seemed to be covered with dust, and he was no longer as spotless as before.Without saying a word, he got off his horse and hugged He Li into his arms a little fiercely.

He Li was stunned, but after thinking for a while, he returned his arms and hugged him.

Luo Ran led the horse and quietly returned to the team, knowingly not disturbing the two reunited after a long absence.

He Li hugged Ji Qing tightly, only feeling that the side of his neck was getting wet gradually, his heart ached to death, and he patted Ji Qing's back lightly.

"It's okay, Heming, I'm fine."

Ji Qing didn't speak, just hugged him and refused to let go.

He Li gently pushed him away, held his face and looked at it, completely ignoring the other people present, raised his head and kissed him.

Ji Qing was startled for a moment, but soon came back to his senses and put down He Li's neck, kissing him deeply and long, as if he was eager to make sure that He Li still had breath and was still by his side.

After a long time, Ji Qing let go of him, the corners of his eyes were still red: "As long as you are fine."

Luo Ran used to be the leader of Ji Qing's private soldiers, so he knew Ji Qing, seeing the two people let go, he brought someone forward and called out respectfully: "Master."

Ji Qing glanced back at him, nodded slightly, "Good job, hard work."

"The master is serious, this is the responsibility of the subordinate."

He Li raised his head slightly to look at Ji Qing, with a beautiful arc on his lips, and said jokingly, "Master Ji, are you so blatant in sending your subordinates to my side? You don't even avoid me?"

"Didn't you send someone to investigate?" Ji Qing smiled, turned on his horse and stretched out a hand towards He Li, "Is there anything to avoid?"

"That's right." He Li looked at his outstretched hand, grabbed a hand and stepped on the horse to sit in Ji Qing's arms.

He Li leaned against Ji Qing's arms, exposed his head and raised his chin towards Luo Ran, "Luo Ran, take Xiao Bai back."

Luo Ran took two steps forward on the horse, took the rein from He Li's hand, raised the whip, and shouted loudly: "Let's go!"

As soon as Ji Qing came, everyone saved the trouble of finding their way, and He Li even temporarily treated him like a waste, letting his head rest in his arms.

After passing the mountain, the group returned to the northern border of the Great Wei Dynasty. Ji Qing relaxed a lot, slowed down his speed calmly, and started chatting with He Li in a leisurely manner.

"You fought this battle beautifully."

Ji Qing praised without hesitation, and He Li accepted it without any shyness: "That's not true, and I don't look at who I am."

"It's just that you can't take such risks in the future. You don't know how worried the old general is. His hair has turned gray a lot in a few days."

He Li raised his head and asked back: "Aren't you worried?"

Ji Qing said calmly, "Don't worry."

He Li pursed his lips and stopped talking.

Ji Qing said again: "I'm afraid."

He Lixi smiled, and didn't worry about other things anymore.

"I know, this time it was an accident. It was too chaotic at the time, and I lost my way after I got separated from the army."

Ji Qing laughed angrily, "Forget it, as long as you are fine, but next time you can't take such a risk."

He Li raised his head and rubbed his lips against Ji Qing's neck, and whispered, "I know, there will be no next time."
