The medical journey is long, it is too difficult for my concubine

It was rare for He Xuqing to see Li Qingyan showing such a speechless expression, and it was because of her own words.

"I'll go back first if there's nothing else to do." He Xuqing said with a blank expression.

"Hey——" Li Qingyan stopped her again, but He Xuqing only turned around and said to him: "Leader Li should stop talking about such meaningless words today, so as not to waste each other's time, and also to talk to him." Disappoint me in your judgment."

He Xuqing's words were so blunt, Li Qingyan could only clenched his fists and watched He Xuqing's back disappear from his vision.

In fact, when he said the words "defense between men and women" just now, he already regretted it.What He Xuqing said was right, what he said really violated his usual ability to judge, even he himself didn't know why he suddenly said such inappropriate words.

It's just that when he saw He Xuqing's expression of indifference and even mocking, he felt a fire flare up in his heart for no reason.Not only for himself, but also for He Xuqing.

He knew that He Xuqing was different from other women, and this was what attracted him to her.But she doesn't even care about the defense between men and women - this is not the first time, he still clearly remembers that the day they met the assassin and escaped to Bei's house by chance, He Xuqing was also in a coma before him. When it was time, he took off his shirt and poisoned him... In the eyes of He Xuqing, this should be an extremely normal thing.

Purely from the perspective of a partner, He Xuqing is indeed impeccable, she can use the most direct and effective means to achieve her goals.It's just that from the very beginning, he never intended to treat He Xuqing as a pure partner.

"It's really not good to act too hastily..." Li Qingyan muttered and sighed.As far as he could see, there was only the closed door of the medicine room.He Xuqing had already started tinkering with things in the medicine room... He sighed again, and finally turned and left.

Only Chongshuang was left in the yard, watching all this with his neck twisted in puzzlement.

The next day, He Xuqing really started to prepare for departure early in the morning.She thought that after yesterday's incident, Li Qingyan would at least feel dissatisfied with her, but Li Qingyan still showed up at the door of her medicine room on time.

Not only did he show up on time, but he also acted the same, as if nothing happened yesterday.

That's good too, He Xuqing thought, at least it saved her a lot of trouble.

"What are you bringing?" Li Qingyan asked curiously, looking at the large bundle in He Xuqing's hand.

"Ice box, and medicine hoe." He Xuqing carefully tied the bundle and carried it on her back, and continued: "What I want is fresh hay, so I have to come back as soon as I pick it. "

"Yes." Li Qingyan nodded, and was about to say something more, but was interrupted by He Xuqing: "What are you doing with the sword?"

Following her gaze, Li Qingyan looked down at the sword hanging on his waist, chuckled and said nonchalantly: "Use it for self-defense, I don't want what happened last time to happen again. —— I don't know why, I'll be with you There are always weird things that happen when you go out.”

"You can't blame me for this. You were the one who was assassinated. When can you calm down and stop making so many enemies, then you won't have such messy troubles anymore." He Xuqing sarcastically said .

Li Qingyan laughed again, and changed the subject: "Where should we start looking?"

"Start searching from the nearest hillside with few trees and sandy land. There is the best chance of finding it." As soon as He Xuqing finished speaking, the two of them set off.

Sky hay is not a difficult medicinal material to find, even if it is on a hillside, it is usually in a place with a gentle slope.Since it was inconvenient to ride a horse to the hillside, the two set off on foot, Li Qingyan led the way, and He Xuqing carefully observed the surroundings.

It can be considered that they were lucky, the first place to stop was growing a few dew-stained medicinal herbs with thick leaves.He Xuqing quickly squatted down, dug out the medicine hoe from the bag, carefully dug it up from the ground around it, dug its root system out of the ground completely, cleaned up the excess soil and quickly placed it in the prepared In the ice box.

Li Qingyan stood with his arms folded, watching her skillful movements, and asked leisurely, "Is that all right?"

He Xuqing put the ice box away steadily, picked up the medicine hoe and dug two trees in the same way, and put them together in the ice box, then she had time to say: "Okay, now take this ice box with you." Just go back—is there any shortcut around here? I want to go back as soon as possible."

"There is a shortcut, but you need to go through the official road. There should be a lot of people in that place." Li Qingyan thought for a while and said.He was a little worried about He Xuqing's situation, He Xuqing seemed very uncomfortable being surrounded by crowds.

"Then let's go that way." He Xuqing said without hesitation, she put the ice box back into the bag, stood up and said to Li Qingyan: "You lead the way?"

Li Qingyan raised her eyebrows and walked in front of her briskly.The two came down from the hillside and walked towards the official road step by step.

"Can you ride a horse? There are people from me at the station on the official road, who can arrange horses for us." Seeing that the official road was close at hand, Li Qingyan asked He Xuqing.

"No." He Xuqing answered very simply.Li Qingyan didn't ask any more questions, because he knew clearly that He Xuqing would not easily agree to such a thing as two people sharing the same horse.

Since they couldn't ride a horse, the two of them could only walk back step by step.Li Qingyan didn't have any complaints about this at first, but he was a little puzzled.

The official road, which has always been bustling with people, looks a lot quieter today. There are only traffickers walking by in twos and threes, and it is difficult to see even a large carriage.For He Xuqing, this could be regarded as something to be thankful for, but he always felt that something was wrong.

It's not yet noon. According to common sense, it should be the peak time for transporting goods. Today is not a special day. Why are there so few pedestrians?

This is the official way, so it is impossible for anyone to interfere at will.The only possibility is... there might be some high-ranking official passing by here, so the government closed the road in advance to prevent large vehicles from passing by?

Thinking of this, Li Qingyan couldn't help frowning.He didn't get any news that there would be any officials passing through Qingcheng on business, and those who have the ability to block the official way must not be small people.

As if to verify his guess, there was faint warning sound of gongs and drums in front of them, and they were getting closer and closer. When the sparse pedestrians heard the sound of gongs and drums, they immediately gave way to the side of the road to clear the way. .The sound of horseshoes followed, and Li Qingyan suddenly turned around and grabbed He Xuqing's arm, leading her to the side of the road, and walked forward at a faster pace.

"What's the matter?" He Xuqing was taken aback by Li Qingyan's actions, she looked up at the road ahead, and there really was a large convoy slowly walking towards them.

Their battle was very eye-catching. Two tall horses opened the way in front, and immediately sat two strong men, one holding a gong and drum in his hand, and the other with a long knife on his waist, which was truly majestic.Behind the two horses were four guards on horseback, surrounded by a handsome man surrounded by them.This young man has sword eyebrows and star eyes, and he looks like a good-looking talent, but He Xuqing thinks that this man is a proud and conceited person at a glance.

At the end of the convoy there was a following carriage. Judging from the traces left by the ruts and the brisk steps of the horses pulling the carriage, it could be deduced that there should be no one in the carriage.

Instead of sitting in a well-built carriage, he chose to ride a horse, and from time to time, he glanced around with his eyes above the roof, and his every move was full of inviolable complacency.He Xuqing looked at that person carefully, then turned to Li Qingyan and asked, "Do you know this person?"

Li Qingyan frowned even tighter.
