Chapter 82 A gentleman’s revenge

Gua Governor Shi sent people to take Xue Shao and others to his house for resettlement. Qing Rong and Xue Shao rested briefly and washed before going to the banquet. Gua Governor Shi was also warm and lively towards Xue Shao, but Qing Rong was in Yongcheng City.

Being used to such welcoming scenes, he was able to hold his temper and exchange a few words with Chang Shi at the banquet. However, Xue Shao felt that Chang Shi was too verbose and couldn't help but want to leave the banquet early.

Seeing that the banquet was almost over, Xue Shao found an excuse to excuse himself, and left early with Qingrong back to his residence. Xue Shao drank a few glasses of wine, fearing that he would smell bad, so he went to take a shower and wash himself neatly.

When they came back, they saw Azhen wringing Qingrong’s wet hair. Xue Shao waved them down and started wringing Qingrong’s hair himself. He did not forget to say: “It’s cold here at night. If you don’t dry your hair,

Dry it a little, I'm afraid I'll get a headache."

Qingrong smiled and said, "Then General Lao."

Xue Shao thought of Guazhou Governor's warm invitation and asked Qingrong what he meant, "How many more days do you want to stay here tomorrow?"

Qingrong shook his head, "It still doesn't work. I'm afraid it will only delay the time. I still want to get to Xizhou earlier."

"in a hurry?"

Qingrong nodded, "I heard that Lu Changshi of Xizhou came from the capital and was newly appointed. Have you had any contact with him?"

Xue Shao thought for a while and said: "I have met him a few times and I have seen that he is a decent person and he is kind and modest. He is much quieter than Guazhou Changshi."

Qingrong couldn't help laughing when she heard what he said, "Then the household registration system in Xizhou is the same as that in our capital? I heard that there is a mixed bag of people there, including both foreigners and Han people. Is it easy to find people?"

"I don't know much about this. If you want to find out, I will ask Lu Changshi when I get back." Xue Shao asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Qingrong did not intend to hide it from her, so she told Xue Shao that Chang Ning had asked her to find Li Yuanmin. Xue Shao was shocked when he heard this, but Qingrong was not a nosy person. If she was willing to help Chang Ning, naturally the other party could help her.

Shao reacted immediately and said in disbelief: "You didn't discuss this matter with Princess Chang Ning, and it's because of me?"

Qingrong said frankly, "Yes, that's why I agreed to her. At that time, I saw that you were depressed all day long. Seeing that you were determined to achieve something, I wanted to help you, so I agreed. What's more, Li Yuanmin is alone now and living outside is really pitiful.

, after all, she went to Xizhou because of Xue Yan, and now she has no one to rely on."

Xue Shao couldn't accept it for a moment. At this time, he looked solemnly, looked at Qingrong and said solemnly: "Sanniang, I know you are here for me, but I don't need the opportunity that you get by seeking personal gain from others."

"Are you going to blame me?"

Xue Shao frowned and shook his head: "I have no right to blame you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have had the chance to achieve this military exploit this time. In the final analysis, it's my fault. But can you promise me not to do it again. I

I don’t want you to be in trouble because of me, just like what happened today, you obviously don’t have to travel thousands of miles and go into danger yourself.”

Qingrong looked at him with a determined expression. This matter did not seem to be a matter of discussion. After all, he had his own feelings and was unwilling to go astray for this kind of matter. Although Qingrong could not fully agree, she still chose to respect his intention.

She nodded under Xue Shao's gaze. "But now we can't just ignore Li Yuanmin's matter. This is not just because we have to keep our promise to Chang Ning. If this matter is really related to Xue Yan, he is not the one who will be implicated."

one person!"

Xue Shao was a little angry when he heard this, and he said: "Then I will write to Xue Yan and ask if this is the case."

"No!" Qingrong immediately rejected Xue Shao's idea. "Calm down and don't be anxious. I also thought it would be best not to ask him directly, but this is still inappropriate. What if Xue Yan doesn't know about this?

If one more person knows, there will be more variables. If you speak rashly like this, can you guarantee that he will remain silent? Based on his previous relationship with Li Yuanmin, will he be willing to hide the fact that she is still alive? If he doesn't know, you will be implicated for no reason.

One more person."

Xue Shao fell into deep thought, "You are right, as for the current plan, we have to look for it in Xizhou first."

Qingrong nodded, "You will ask about the household registration first, and then we will make plans. You must promise me not to make any announcement. You may not want to hide Li Yuanmin's life experience..."

Xue Shao interrupted her in a deep voice: "Who do you think I am? What does the rebellion have to do with a woman? After all, it is a matter in the court, and she was implicated for no reason. Now she has a chance to escape.

It’s not easy to survive, so why should I have trouble with her? Besides, since Princess Chang Ning agreed to your request, it’s only right for us to do what we promised.”

Qingrong looked at him and felt relieved to see that he was so understanding. She looked at Xue Shao and smiled apologetically, "I misunderstood you. You must be tired after a day of running around. Go back early."

Just rest."

Xue Shaogang raised the corner of his mouth, but immediately lowered it. He asked in confusion: "Go back?"

Qingrong smiled brightly, "The general's room is in another place, this is my room."

"You?"

Qingrong looked at him and smiled slightly, "It's the right thing to do as promised. General, don't forget what you told me." After saying that, he stood up and opened the door, his tone showing a bit of casual pride, "Then I won't

delivered."

Xue Shao had a headache when he saw Qing Rong. Unfortunately, she had no idea what to do. She just turned around and walked out the door with a dark face, a bit like gnashing her teeth.

Qingrong looked at his leaving figure and couldn't help but laugh. There is a saying that is true. It turns out that "it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years".



Early the next morning, Xue Shao and Qing Rong said goodbye to Gua Governor Shi and left, and the group rode to Xizhou.

But this notoriously difficult road is not just a name for it. Qingrong's tense back gradually became covered with a thin layer of sweat, and her hands holding the reins began to feel sore. Xue Shao quickly rode ahead and quickly paid attention.

When we got to Qingrong, it was too strenuous to walk, so he slowed down and asked, "Is it too strenuous to go up? Don't try to show off, or walk slower. It just takes more time. I

I'll accompany you."

Qingrong shook her head, the veil in front of her was fluttering due to the wind. As soon as she opened her mouth to speak, she took a few sips and said, "If you stay here for a long time, you will suffer. It's better to arrive earlier."

Xue Shao was still worried, "I'll take you."

After saying that, he approached the horse, stretched out his hands to hold Qingrong's waist firmly, and brought her over from the horse. Qingrong felt that the world was spinning for a moment, and she was already sitting firmly on Xue Shao's chest.

After a bumpy ride, the black horse started running steadily again.

It had been like this for many days. Qingrong felt that the two of them had never been together like this before. This was the last time when Xue Shao was injured while saving her during a hunt.

Even though they were familiar with each other, with him leading them, the whole team's speed was much faster than before.

After walking through Yumen Pass, crossing the Gobi Desert, and running wildly on the road for about ten days, the group finally arrived in Xizhou.

The guard who followed Xue Shaolai noticed it first, pointed to a city in the distance, and shouted: "Xizhou is right ahead!"

Qingrong heard the sound and looked over, feeling relieved that she had arrived. However, this city was different from the capital city. It was surrounded by loess cliffs, and there was no trace of a city...

Fortunately, Xue Shao accompanied her on this bumpy journey, but despite this, when she rested every night, she felt sore and sore in her back, as if her whole body was about to fall apart. It was really uncomfortable, but she didn't want everyone to be there all the time.

It was to accommodate herself, but she didn't say anything. Thinking about it this way, she really admired Li Yuanmin's courage at that time...

When they were still more than twenty miles away, a man and a woman with their entourage rode towards their direction. Xue Shao glanced at Qingrong and said, "It's Lu Changshi and his wife."

The two sides met and stopped to talk.

Qing Rong took a look at the young Chang Shi. He was tall, fair and fair, gentle and polite. The lady standing beside her was also a Han Chinese, petite, but beautiful, with black hair and snow-skinned skin, and delicate eyebrows. Cui Liniang

He came up to us with a somewhat reserved expression. After introducing himself, he said: "Madam, you are here after all. It has been a hard journey."

Qingrong took off her veil, gathered her skirt and returned the greeting, and said with a smile: "Thank you, madam."

When Lu Kaiyan saw this, he also smiled and said: "I was fortunate enough to hear the general mention his wife. When I saw her today, she was really extraordinary."

Cui Liniang also followed up and said: "Yes, Madam has a stunning appearance and elegant temperament. She is really unforgettable. I never thought that there is a woman with such good looks in this world."

Xue Shao listened with a smile on the side. Qingrong felt a little embarrassed to be praised by the couple in unison like this. He smiled and said: "Chang Shi and Madam are really ridiculous, I am really ashamed and cannot deserve it."

Lu Kaiyan smiled and said: "You two have worked hard, why don't you come with us into the city earlier. All my colleagues and wives have been waiting for a long time."

After a brief greeting, several people drove towards the city gate together.

After falling off the horse, Cui Liniang gave a brief introduction. At this time, several ladies standing behind also came forward to greet him and did not dare to neglect. After a few people exchanged greetings, Cui Liniang smiled and said, "When I was in the capital before, I

I've heard of Madam's reputation, but I haven't had the opportunity to meet her. This time I heard that Madam is willing to come to Xizhou with the army. You and I really admire Madam. She must have been working hard all the way, so please come with me to the city."

Reputation in the capital? Qingrong smiled, but she didn't think it would be a good reputation. "Thank you, madam."

So a group of people walked into the city gate, but they were surrounded by tall earth walls. Qingrong couldn't tell the difference between the inner and outer cities for a while. When he asked Cui Liniang again, he realized that he had passed the outer city.

When everyone came to the official office, the men and women walked separately. Cui Liniang took Qingrong to a courtyard and entered the guest room. "Madam, you have had a hard journey. Please take a bath and rest for a while. I will take care of Madam later."

Qingrong smiled and thanked her. After everyone left and only a few maids were left, she breathed a sigh of relief. Do these official ladies look afraid of her? Does she look so vicious? Qingrong

It's funny.

After washing away the dust, Qingrong felt that the whole person was much refreshed. Xue Shao was also led to take a bath and wash up. After waiting for an hour, everyone gathered in the official office again. After the guests and hosts were seated,

Then we started a complimentary conversation back and forth.

Qingrong found it strange that Cui Liniang was a little reserved, which she understood, but the attitudes of the nearly a dozen women and ladies seated here seemed to be a little strange, some were contemptuous, some were taboo, some were even more flattering, but they all had a feeling of walking on thin ice.

of panic…

After finally waiting for the banquet to leave, Xue Shao also drank a lot of wine, and Qing Rong went back to the guest room with him to settle in. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, Xue Shao's expression immediately returned to normal, and his steps were no longer frivolous.

Still need help?

Qingrong shook her head in a funny way, remembering that he had dragged her along to pretend to be fainted in the ancestral hall before, "I'm used to acting."

But he said something honest, "Drinking too much will cause trouble."

Xue Shao asked Qingrong what happened at the banquet, but there was nothing else. Qingrong only expressed his confusion and doubts, "Am I really so scary? Or are you acting for me? You have been here for a long time.

, what do you know?”

Xue Shao couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "I don't know about others, but I really don't dare to offend you easily."

Qingrong rolled her eyes at him, "Then who is looking for trouble?" She was used to being messy and unreasonable.

Xue Shao smiled with a guilty conscience, "Maybe you have extraordinary bearing and others dare not neglect you."

"General, please stop making fun of me, okay?"

Xue Shao shook his head and smiled, his expression a little tired and his tone lazy, "In my opinion, they are afraid of you more than they are afraid of me."
