PS: The old book "Throat-Sealing Blood" written many years ago has been unblocked. Interested book friends can check out this very popular work from that year, hahaha
It must be said that Xiao Shilian was quite enthusiastic about Li Xinchen's brother and sister. Taking advantage of Li Xinchen's getting on the boat to take his sister off, Xiao Shilian quickly went to the dock to call a carriage - of course the Xiao family and his son did not need a carriage when they returned home.
He didn't send a carriage over - he carefully helped Li Xinchen and his sister get into the car. If he hadn't been a young master and had never driven a carriage before, Li Xinchen suspected that this guy might have driven the car himself.
Zhongli County was originally just a city built to temporarily resettle northern refugees when they were crossing south, so the city was not big, and the streets were a bit messy. In addition, with the return of the army, the streets were even more crowded. But fortunately, the Xiao family leader
The young master's reputation is quite high. With him leading a few Xiao family guards to clear the way, there weren't many obstacles along the way.
"Lian'er, do you feel better?" Li Xingchen carefully brought the water bag to Li Lian'er's mouth, "Let you run all the way with your illness, I..."
"Brother!" Li Lian'er yelled, "Brother doesn't consider Lian'er a burden. Lian'er is already very touched. Lian'er is fine. Brother, just rest assured."
Looking at his sister's pale face due to a serious illness, Li Xingchen couldn't help but feel another pain in his heart. He reached out to touch Li Lian'er's forehead and found that the fever had gone away, but this serious illness, coupled with the previous and subsequent
After escaping in the mountains and being exhausted by boating and traveling, Li Lian'er was obviously very weak and had to rest quietly for a while.
"Don't worry Lian'er, I will protect you." Li Xingchen took a deep breath, "I have lost too much. You are my only relative in this world, even if I risk my life
, and no one will harm you in the slightest!"
"Brother, why are you doing this!" Li Lian'er stretched out his hand and gently placed it on Li Xingchen's cheek, looking at his brother who had been supporting the sky with his shoulders to protect him from the wind and rain, "What are you doing?
!”
Li Xingchen grabbed Li Lian'er's wrist and said in a deep voice: "Lian'er, don't worry, there is no need to say anything else!"
Li Lian'er was silent for a moment and nodded solemnly, and there were faint tears flashing in his lowered eyes. At this moment, the carriage shook and stopped, the curtain opened, and Xiao Shilian looked like he was taking credit.
He looked like: "We've arrived at the place, come down and take a look!"
This Zhongli County is Nanchen's important military station in northern Xuzhou. Xiao Mohe also has a house in Zhongli City that is not large in scale, but is quite secluded. Because Xiao Mohe is commanding operations on the front line, he is actually surrounded by
Xiao Shilian was the only one following him, and his wife and concubines were all in Jinling City. Therefore, this two-in-one house only housed the Xiao family, father and son, and a few servants. It was definitely not small. There were enough annexes for the Li family brothers and sisters.
"This side is all for you," Xiao Shilian pointed out his hand and immediately looked at the servants around him, "These two are honored guests of my Xiao family. If you dare to neglect me, just wait and see!"
"Yes!" the servants replied hurriedly.
While Xiao Shilian led the Li brothers and sisters inside, he pointed around and said: "Actually, my father and I rarely live in this courtyard. Because we are in a hurry, there are still many places that have not been cleaned. You must not do it."
mind."
Li Lian'er gently tugged on Li Xingchen's sleeves with some worry. Li Xingchen shook his head at her to reassure her, and then said with a smile: "Thank God for being able to have a place to stand in the midst of the war. Brother Xiao can arrange such a yard."
, Brother Xiao’s kindness, we brothers and sisters must be grateful for it.”
"Li Xingchen!" Xiao Shilian heard Li Xingchen's tone and immediately pretended to be angry, "You and I are both brothers Paoze who are fighting bloody battles on the battlefield. Does this sentence mean that you look down on me, Xiao Shilian, and look down on my Xiao family? Although the Xiao family is not considered a
You may be from a famous family, but you still have the space and financial resources to entertain a few friends!"
Li Xingchen smiled slightly, not feeling dissatisfied, and turned to Li Lian'er and made a helpless gesture. Li Lian'er nodded and said nothing more. As Xiao Shilian said, if they say anything polite now, it will actually be a bit embarrassing.
Out of sight.
A lot of what Xiao Shilian said was out of politeness. Although he and Xiao Maha didn't live here often, because there were so many servants, the courtyard, which was only two entrances, was always kept clean.
The villa prepared for Li Xinchen and his sister is actually a guest room, and the things inside are often replaced and cleaned in preparation for guests coming.
Seeing what Xiao Shilian was still giving orders outside the door, Li Xingchen couldn't help but smiled bitterly and shook his head. This guy was really diligent and dedicated, and even Li Xingchen had some doubts about who was Li Lian'er's brother.
And Li Lian'er seemed to have noticed something, her handsome little face was flushed, and she wrung her hands together and didn't know what she was thinking. Seeing her brother looking at herself with interest, and then turning to look at Xiao Shilian outside, she was even more excited
Finally, he couldn't help but lower his head, not daring to look at Li Xingchen.
Li Xingchen felt funny in his heart. While looking at the decoration in the room, he said with a smile: "Lian'er, you are still weak now. Just lie on the bed for a while. It is getting late today. If it gets better tomorrow, I will take you up."
Let’s go buy some nice clothes.”
Li Lian'er knew that Li Xingchen must have something to do, so she nodded hurriedly.
Taking a deep breath, Li Xingchen turned around and pushed open the half-open door. A ray of sunlight shone on him. After being startled for a moment, Li Xingchen continued to walk out.
"Xiao Shilian has already given instructions to the old lady to get the medicine. It should be ready in a short time. Just don't worry." Seeing what Li Xingchen wanted to say, Xiao Shilian hurriedly spoke.
Li Xingchen glanced at him with a half-smile, and just nodded.
Seemingly realizing that he was too positive, Xiao Shilian reached out and scratched his head uncomfortably, not knowing what to say for a moment. The servants who noticed something also secretly laughed.
"Lian'er has gotten much better, don't worry." Li Xingchen said in a deep voice.
Xiao Shilian hummed and hurriedly changed the subject: "Then now... can we find a place to have a drink and relax?"
Knowing that Xiao Shilian had been struggling on the battlefield for so long, he had already felt uncomfortable. In addition, Li Lianer had inadvertently provoked him several times before, so it was reasonable for Xiao Shilian to be "hungry and thirsty".
Rolling his eyes, Li Xingchen reached out and patted his shoulder: "Although the wind and moon are beautiful, we have another very important matter to solve first."
"Huh?" Xiao Shilian was startled.
Li Xingchen raised his head to look at the sky and gave a wry smile: "Of course it's General Dianwei. The longer the gap between your father and General Dianwei drags on, the worse it will be."
Although Xiao Shilian has always wanted to indulge, he is definitely not a person who can't grasp the importance of things. Compared with looking for flowers and asking for willows, it is of course more important to resolve the conflict between Pei Zilie and Xiao Mohe: "Brother Li's words are true. Take it for granted."
in this way."
"Let's go, this is another unpredictable and fierce battle." Li Xingchen raised his eyebrows.
The rays of the setting sun shone on the two of them, dragging out long shadows. The two of them walked out of the yard one after the other, as if they were walking towards another completely different but equally dangerous battlefield.
