Although General Long said righteously that he would only be loyal to the State of Zhao in his life and would never rebel, and let Xu Qing die with the idea of becoming the Duke of the country through him, Xu Qing was not sure whether he could abduct General Long back to the State of Chu and then become the Duke of Chu.
The Duke no longer has much interest.
Long Bing'er, a big girl, is much more attractive than the Duke of the country.
Nowadays, he does not lack power, money, or position. There is actually no difference between having a duke and not having a duke, but Long Bing'er can really see and control it.
What he wants to do now is to take this silly girl Long Bing'er home as soon as possible.
As for General Long, that is the person that King Xian likes and not the person that Xu Qing likes. If you want to get General Long, King Xian should work hard on his own.
Moreover, for the first time, Emperor Zhao was able to make General Long the general of the Zhuguo State, guarding the Western Xinjiang, and commanding the military and political affairs of the Western Xinjiang. This shows how much Emperor Zhao trusted General Long. The wise king expected him to treason and defect to the country, which was probably possible in his next life.
But now Long Bing'er, a big girl, probably can't be taken away now. Between the righteousness of the family and the country and the personal relationship between her children, Long Bing'er will choose the righteousness of the family and the country without hesitation.
But it doesn't matter, sooner or later Xu Qing will have to marry this silly girl Long Bing'er home.
night falls
Xu Qing was lying on the bed, tossing and turning. The moonlight slipped through the window and shone on Xu Qing's face, dispelling his only trace of sleepiness.
Xu Qing got out of bed and opened the door, only to see Long Bing'er opening the door in unison.
Xu Qing looked at Long Bing'er and asked, "Can't you sleep either?"
Long Bing'er said: "I want to go out for a walk."
Xu Qing said: "I also want to go out for a walk with you."
Long Bing'er pursed her red lips, stretched out her delicate hand and handed it to Xu Qing. Xu Qing took Long Bing'er's delicate hand, clasped their fingers together, and walked forward.
The two of them left the inn together and came to the night market, which was still lively and noisy even though it was already dusk.
Not long after leaving, Long Bing'er saw a stall selling candied haws on a stick in front of her and said, "I want to eat candied haws on a stick."
Xu Qing took her hand and walked over, handed the stall owner a piece of broken silver, and said, "I want a bunch of candied haws."
The stall owner looked at the broken silver with a troubled expression on his face: "Sir, a bunch of candied haws is five cents. Please give me a piece of broken silver. I don't have a weapon to weigh the silver. I will give you your money."
Not open."
Xu Qing said: "No need to look for it, just get a bunch of candied haws."
When the stall owner heard this, he quickly and respectfully took a bunch of candied haws and handed it to Xu Qing: "Thank you, guest, for the generous gift!"
Xu Qing laid out the books, took the candied haws, and handed it to Long Bing'er. He held her hand and continued to tour forward. They didn't have much time together...
Not far behind the two of them, among the passers-by, a man in black brocade had a panoramic view of the scene, thoughtfully.
The second day
The sun shines through the window, and the sky is already bright.
Today is a good day to see off guests.
Although Xu Qing didn't really want to see this guest off, it seemed that God didn't have his wish.
Xu Qing stood at the door of the inn, looking at Long Bing'er and General Long riding away, and murmured: "Have a nice trip, silly girl..."
Above the street, the city gate is already in sight.
General Long rode on his horse and turned his head to look at the absent-minded Long Bing'er and said, "You have something on your mind."
Long Bing'er pursed her lips, raised her left hand and looked at it, but said nothing.
Her hand was pinched by Xu Qing for an hour at the night market yesterday...
General Long said: "We say goodbye today. I don't know when we will see each other again. It's better not to leave any regrets."
When Long Bing'er heard her father's words, she took a deep breath and reined in the reins.
The horse, which was not moving fast, immediately stopped and allowed Long Bing'er to turn the horse's head.
General Long looked at his daughter's back, glanced at the four guards in civilian clothes, and said, "Go find a tea stall ahead."
…
In the guest room
Xu Qing sat on the bedside and sighed. Just when he was about to stand up and check out, the door was suddenly knocked.
Xu Qing opened the door upset and said impatiently: "I told you, I don't want any special services from you, let alone bath candles..."
Xu Qing couldn't help but be slightly startled when he saw the beauty appearing in front of him. The irritability he had just disappeared without a trace in an instant. Although Long Bing'er had only left for a short while, for Xu Qing, opening the door and seeing her again
But she is no less than a reunion after a long absence.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that he could give away candles...
Xu Qing looked at Long Bing'er who suddenly appeared outside the door, and his voice became a little stumbling: "You...why are you back?"
Long Bing'er walked in without saying a word, and suddenly stretched out a hand to cut Xu Qing's hands behind his back, but still let him face her.
At this moment, the posture of the two of them was quite strange, as if Long Bing'er was holding Xu Qing in his arms.
Long Bing'er pushed Xu Qing to the wall of the room and made a "dong" sound.
Xu Qing looked at Long Bing'er, pursed his lips, and asked: "You...what do you want to do?"
Long Bing'er didn't say anything, but she took out a handkerchief embroidered with Aoxue Hanmei from somewhere in her right hand and covered Xu Qing's face with it.
Across the handkerchief, she finally mustered up the courage to put her lips to hers.
It's just that her movements were very jerky, and she even kissed a little crookedly...
It's not so much a kiss, but more like a kiss...
Xu Qing felt the sudden touch on his lips, and his eyes widened immediately. He looked at Long Bing'er's somewhat blurry face through the handkerchief. There seemed to be thousands of thoughts in his mind, but there was no idea that could be described in words.
.
If Long Bing'er hadn't cut off Xu Qing's hand from the beginning, Long Bing'er's front might have been decorated with more decorations, so that it wouldn't be so empty now, and Xu Qing couldn't breathe due to the direct pressure.
Lip parting...
Long Bing'er also released her hand holding Xu Qing's wrist.
The handkerchief embroidered with Aoxue Hanmei on Xu Qing's face also slipped down, and was caught by Xu Qing and held in his hand.
Long Bing'er looked at Xu Qing and said a thousand words, but in the end they only turned into three words: "Remember me."
Xu Qing also met Long Bing'er's gaze and said the same three words: "Wait for me."
Long Bing'er gave Xu Qing one last look and said, "Xue'er is still in Liuzhou City. Don't keep her waiting. I'm leaving. The battlefield is dangerous, so don't come."
After saying that, Long Bing'er turned around, ignored Xu Qing, and left gracefully.
Xu Qing looked at Long Bing'er's leaving figure, and then looked at the white handkerchief embroidered with Aoxue plum blossoms in his hand. Her scent was still on the handkerchief.
And was she just held down by Long Bing'er and forcefully kissed her?
But after all, the older girl Long Bing'er was not as bold as the younger girl, and a kiss had to be separated by a layer of handkerchief.
Now this girl took away his first kiss today and told him not to go to her?
wishful thinking!
…
On the main street, a tea stall
General Long just drank a bowl of tea when he saw that Long Bing'er, who had just left, had turned back. He couldn't help but be slightly startled: "So fast?"
There was a faint smile on Long Bing'er's face: "Let's set off."
General Long nodded and said with a smile: "Now that the knot in your heart has been resolved, let's set off! Those aliens are still waiting for us to take care of them!"
