Back in his house, He Yan lay on the bed, tossing and turning.

The window was open, and a little bit of wind came in, blowing her very clearly. The previous conversation with Xiao Jue seemed to be still in my ears.

It turned out that the night she left the He family to join the army, Xiao Jue actually came to the appointment. But by chance, they missed it. Once they missed it, there was no chance. Just as He Yan didn't know that the person who was secretly guiding his sword skills was Xiao Jue. Now Xiao Jue couldn't know that the person he secretly helped him back then had changed.

The harder she tried to hide her identity, she wanted to thank him as a classmate back then. It turned out that Xiao Jue and her had so many strange fates in their past and present lives, but the fate was short, but it was now...

He Yan sat up, thought for a while, and then made up his mind to fall down. He walked to the table and lit the oil lamp with a fire note. Zhao Shiming was a literati. The four treasures of the study were placed everywhere in the room. She grindled ink, found out the paper, sat down at the table, and picked up the pen to write slowly.

...

All matters in Rundu were settled in three days. Xiao Jue and his group were about to leave.

Before leaving, He Yan found Zhao Shiming.

After the Qiluo incident, He Yan didn't say a word to Li Kuang. Every time she saw Li Kuang, she would think of the sweet girl with a dimpled cheek when she smiled. I think Li Kuang was the same. Whenever she met He Yan, she would always avoid her gaze.

So she didn't plan to mention some things to Li Kuang.

Zhao Shiming was sitting in the house reading official documents. Run was besieged by Utuans for these days, and the merchants in the city stopped the market and everything was in chaos. Now that Utuans were defeated, Run returned to peace. It would take time to restore the peaceful days of the past.

"Mr. Zhao." He Yan approached the house and called him.

Zhao Shiming raised his head from the official document and saw that it was He Yan. He was stunned for a moment, then stood up and smiled enthusiastically, "Why is Lord Xiaohe who has time to come to me to sit here today?"

Zhao Shiming likes He Yan very much. He is a literati and can't go with a rude and reckless man like Li Kuang. Xiao Jue and Yan He are indifferent and arrogant, and he is afraid when he sees it. He Yan is different. This young man is young, smart and brave, kind and loyal, and handsome, and looks elegant and handsome. He looks gentle and pleasing. If his granddaughter is not too young, Zhao Shiming would have wanted to recruit this young man as his grandson-in-law.

He Yan smiled and said, "You are polite Lord Zhao. I'm here to say goodbye to Lord Zhao. I will go back to Shuojing with the governor tomorrow. I'm in Rundu these days, thank you for your care."

Zhao Shiming liked this young man even more. Look, he came to say goodbye to him. It was really polite. He smiled and replied: "Don't say that, Lord Xiaohe, don't say that. You are the benefactor who saved Rundu. This time, when you come to Rundu, there is nothing to entertain, which has caused a lot of grievances to Lord Xiaohe. If Lord Xiaohe comes to Rundu again in the future, Zhao will definitely treat him well. I hope Lord Xiaohe will not care about the rudeness this time."

He Yan helped Zhao Shiming up his hand that was about to salute and said, "I don't dare."

He was called a junior? Zhao Shiming was stunned. Before he could come back to his senses, he saw the young man in front of him looking at him and his expression became solemn: "Actually, I have something to ask Lord Zhao for help today."

Zhao Shiming is not unfamiliar with this expression. This was the case when He Yan asked his people to help him send a message to Yan He. Is this asking for him? Zhao Shiming felt happy. He Yan looked for him instead of Li Kuang, which shows that he was treating him as his own person. What Wu'anlang asked for is usually a simple task. It is a great honor to have something to help. Thinking of this, Zhao Shiming smiled and said, "Mr. Xiaohe, but it's okay. Zhao must do his best."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Shiming saw the person in front of him lifting the corner of his robe and kneeling down at him.

"You..." He was startled.

"Then, thank you Lord Zhao."

...

The servants outside didn't know what the person inside was saying. After a while, when He Yan walked out of the door, the servants went in to deliver tea, and saw Zhao Shiming falling to the table, his expression was dazed and his eyes were dissipated.

"Master?" The servant called him.

Zhao Shiming then came to his senses, swallowed, and said, "Nothing is wrong, nothing is wrong."

He pinched the letter paper in his hand.

On the other side, He Yan walked out the door and breathed a deep breath. She didn't know whether her decision was right or wrong, but now it seems that this is the best way to pick Xiao Jue out.

A person came towards him, as beautiful as a flower, which was Yingxiang. Yingxiang saw He Yan and bowed to He Yan: "Master He."

Now, she is not called He Yan "Prince He", but "Master He".

"Miss Yingxiang." He Yan replied, seeing her holding something like clothes in her hand, he couldn't help but take a look.

Ying Xiang noticed her gaze and smiled, "The fourth young master asked me to sort it out and I will set off back to Shuojing tomorrow. Rundu's sun is very good, and the clothes will be dry soon."

"Return to Shuojing?" He Yan frowned slightly, "You are also going to set out tomorrow?"

Chu Zhao was originally trapped in the city because the Uttor sieges the city on his way back to Shuojing and was unable to leave. Now that the Uttor sieges left, they naturally should leave. But they didn't expect that they would be with Xiao Jue for one day.

"Yes," Ying Xiang replied with a smile, "The fourth young master walked with everyone, and Governor Xiao also knew about this. There are other utensils along the way, and there are many people who can take care of you."

Xiao Jue is not the one who wants to take care of Chu Zhao, but since Xiao Jue has already known this, it is useless for her to say anything else. When Li Kuang wanted to kill those captured women that day, Chu Zhao also stood up and spoke. No matter what his purpose was, He Yan should thank him on the surface.

"Thank you for me for standing by the captured women that day in front of the general." He Yan said.

Ying Xiang had curved eyebrows and eyes: "Okay, Lord He."

After He Yan left, Yingxiang returned to the house with her clothes in her arms. Chu Zhao was standing in front of the window. Yingxiang put the clothes into the bag. She moved quickly, but in a moment, she packed all the things.

"Fourth Young Master," Ying Xiang walked to Chu Zhao and whispered: "Just on the road just now, I met Miss He. Miss He asked me to say for her. I had previously been in front of Lord Li, thank you for standing up and talking for the captured women."

Chu Zhao smiled, not saying anything.

After a moment of silence, Ying Xiang spoke, "The fourth young master shouldn't have done that."

Chu Zhao: "Oh?"

"There may be people from the prime minister in the city. The prime minister will be unhappy when he sees the fourth prince like this..."

Xu Jingfu is a person who hates others' own actions. Since the Rundu incident has nothing to do with him, Chu Zhao not only spoke, but also brought Xu Jingfu out. Once Xu Jingfu knew about it, he would definitely be displeased with Chu Zhao.

"Just do it, don't worry." Chu Zhao smiled slightly, "As for the prime minister, I will explain."

"Why did the young master do that?" Ying Xiang asked softly, "Even if the young master doesn't take action, with Miss He's ability, no one can make things difficult for her."

Chu Zhao did not answer, but just looked at the sky outside the window.

Why?

It was probably the way she stood in front of those women, which reminded him of the way she was bullied by someone in the flower building when she was young, and Ye Runmei stood in front of him. He had few moments of protection in his life, except Ye Runmei, only He Yan was there.

She protected those women as if she was in Jiyang. One person protected the other person, without selfishness, blood, or even no intimate relationship, just because she thought she should do it.

The ostentatiousness is enviable, and the openness makes people jealous, like a ray of light, and even those who are approaching can't help but be illuminated. So he stood up at that moment and thought he was also an upright and brave righteous man.

only……

After all, he is not light, but just a shadow.

...

The day is here to leave Rundu.

Li Kuang and Zhao Shiming went out of the city to see them off. The soldiers of the Nanfu and Liangzhou Guards did not set out with Xiao Jue. They rushed back to Beijing, and only Yan He's soldiers were taken away.

The city was bleak. Although there was sunlight, it seemed to be covered with a light gray. He Yan felt in his heart that the last time he left Rundu, she was still "Deputy General He" and had a chat and laugh with Li Kuang. Now that he left Rundu this time, he was not as good as before.

Time passed quickly, and the vines of Rundu had already grown into new clusters. The group stood at the gate of the city, and He Yan was about to get on his horse. At this moment, he suddenly heard a voice from someone behind him: "Master Xiaohe!"

He Yan turned around and looked at it.

Then I saw that many people gathered in front of Rundu gate at some time. They did not dare to go forward, but just stood on both sides of the street and looked at them silently. Then a group of women walked out of the end of the crowd, and the woman who called her just now was the woman in the leader.

They were wearing neat clothes and had unhealed scars on their faces. It was the day when they attacked the enemy camp at night, when He Yan rescued the prisoners from the ukuang, and the women who were protected from Li Kuang's sword at that time. He Yan, the woman who spoke, still remembered that on that day, she was shed tears to persuade herself not to have conflicts with Li Kuang and sacrificed voluntarily.

However, later He Yan also learned from Zhao Shiming that the woman originally lived in a village outside the city. After the ukuang came, she killed her husband and son, and she was the only one left in the family. She thought she had been ruined by the ukuang, afraid of strange eyes outside, and because her family was not around, she had already had the intention to die. Therefore, when Li Kuang came to find her, she accepted it the fastest.

That day, if He Yan had not stood up and if Xiao Jue had not arrived, perhaps these women would have died under Li Kuang's sword.

Li Kuang's face was a little uncomfortable. He didn't feel many things in the current environment. When things were over, when they looked back, they would find how crazy they were.

The women walked up to He Yan, knelt down one after another, and kowtowed to He Yan without saying a word.

He Yan was stunned: "You..."

"Thank you, Lord Xiaohe." They said.

The spirit of women is much better than they did in the past few days. Perhaps it was the food brought by Yan He that made them full, or perhaps it was He Yan's words that day that gave them the courage to survive.

Zhao Shiming walked to He Yan and whispered: "Mr. Xiaohe, these women, who still have their families, have gone home. The homeless are now placed together by the government. They will work and weave, and in the future...will not happen that Mr. Xiaohe is worried about."

He solemnly promised He Yan: "Zhao will take good care of them."

He Yan felt a little relieved and bowed to Zhao Shiming: "Thank you, Lord Zhao."

Zhao Shiming stroked his beard and smiled, "It should be that since I am from Rundu, as the parents of Rundu, I should have arranged them well."

He Yan also laughed. Many things in the world are always getting better. As long as someone does it, changes will eventually happen, no matter how small the change is.

She helped the woman in the lead and whispered: "Let them get up too, live a good life in the future. Remember, I saved your lives. Don't give up your life at will no matter when."

The woman nodded.

Yan He stood under the city gate, hugged his chest and said, "How come this boy named He looks at him? He is more popular than you?" He glanced at Xiao Jue, "Isn't he your subordinate? Why are you not as good as him?"

Lin Shuanghe smiled and said, "Brother He is gentle and gentle, of course everyone likes it. There are not many people in the world who can think about others. There are very few who can draw swords to face each other for the safety of others."

Yan Heji couldn't stand Lin Shuanghe's unrighteous appearance and sneered: "What's going on with Brother He? Are you all so chaotic in Liangzhou Weili?"

"Chaos?" Lin Shuanghe nodded, "There are even more chaotic, but you just don't know."

Ying Xiang stood beside Chu Zhao, quietly watching the girl bid farewell to the rescued women and got on the carriage. The people in Rundu City were accompanied by the city soldiers. Although she didn't say anything, her eyes followed He Yan, full of gratitude.

She is indeed a likable girl, both in Jiyang and Rundu.

"Let's go." Chu Zhao turned around and followed him into his carriage.

The city gates open, the troops are marching, and the sun shines far away at the end of the long road, like a bright road leading to the future.

...

It takes ten days to set off from Rundu to Jinling. After passing Jinling, you will go straight to Shuojing.

Among the bushes, the soldiers and horses were temporarily sitting down to rest. Lin Shuanghe was watching He Yan roasting bird eggs. He was a young master who was spoiled on weekdays, so he naturally couldn't do these rough tasks. Although Yan He could do it, He Yan had seen the fish he roasted before, which made it so charred that it was hard to get down, and then he simply came by himself.

Xiao Jue was talking to Chiwu on the other end. He Yan and Lin Shuanghe sat together. Lin Shuanghe looked at her skillful movements and sighed: "Brother He, you are really good at going to the hall, going to the kitchen, climbing over the wall, and beating hooligans. I have seen so many-" He lowered his voice, "Women, no one can compare to you. Really, sister, you are the best in my heart when you arrive in Shuojing."
