After having such a dream, Long Xiaoyuan was in a very bad mood for several days.
Coupled with Shi Qingzhou's absence, the mood is even more depressed.
Almost counting the days waiting for the other party to come back, on this day, Long Xiaoyuan finally waited for Shi Qingzhou's return.
As soon as Shi Qingzhou came back, before he went upstairs, he was told by the shadow guard that the emperor had been in a bad mood for the past few days and had not eaten much.
Shi Qingzhou thought that the other party was very angry with her, "Leave without saying goodbye."
But when he really saw Long Xiaoyuan, Shi Qingzhou realized that things might not be so simple!
"Qingzhou?" Long Xiaoyuan was also taken aback when he saw Shi Qingzhou in the room.
Shi Qingzhou closed the door. "I'm back."
Long Xiaoyuan stood up abruptly, and smiled wryly again, "Are you back?"
Shi Qingzhou walked towards Long Xiaoyuan step by step, and said softly: "I'm back, are you angry?"
Long Xiaoyuan shook his head, "No, Qingzhou, don't think about it."
Shi Qingzhou frowned fiercely. When he left, he expected that Long Xiaoyuan would be angry, but... it's not like this lifeless!
This kind of anger is not emotional, but... the state of the whole person!
"What happened to you?" Shi Qingzhou asked.
Long Xiaoyuan pursed his lips. "It's nothing... It's just that I haven't been in a good mood these two days."
Shi Qingzhou took a deep breath, "Because of my leaving?"
"No." Long Xiaoyuan shook his head. "It was just a bad dream."
Shi Qingzhou was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect to get such an answer. "Did a... not very happy dream?"
Long Xiaoyuan smiled wryly. "Um."
"What dream did you have?" Shi Qingzhou asked immediately.
Long Xiaoyuan didn't know what to say, what to say about that dream in his previous life. So, I can only shake my head.
A stern light flashed in Shi Qingzhou's eyes. "Can't even I say it?"
Sensing that Shi Qingzhou's mood was not right, Long Xiaoyuan opened his mouth, and said a little nah: "It's not that I can't say it... I just don't know how to say it... Qingzhou, don't be angry."
Seeing Long Xiaoyuan's appearance, Shi Qingzhou's heart softened a little.
Then, Shi Qingzhou approached Long Xiaoyuan, and said softly, "What dream did you have?"
Long Xiaoyuan also said softly: "Dreaming... my relatives have left me."
Shi Qingzhou couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words. "Is it... the late emperor?"
Long Xiaoyuan pursed his lips and shook his head. "... No, it's my mother and the others."
"The first queen?" Shi Qingzhou pondered for a moment. "… You still have me."
Long Xiaoyuan let out a long sigh of relief, and then hugged Shi Qingzhou into his arms.
"Well, I still have you, I'm glad I still have you, Qingzhou..."
Shi Qingzhou's eyes are no longer cold, but completely softened.
After a while, Long Xiaoyuan let go of Shi Qingzhou.
"Qingzhou, have you insisted on taking medicine?"
Shi Qingzhou nodded. "I brought Zhang Yuan with me, and the remaining poison in my body has been cured."
Long Xiaoyuan looked at Shi Qingzhou sadly.
"I haven't settled with you yet!"
Shi Qingzhou blinked. "Didn't I come back safely?"
"That's all right?" Long Xiaoyuan was absolutely dissatisfied, and stared at Shi Qingzhou fiercely.
Shi Qingzhou knew he was wrong, and said lightly: "This time it's my fault."
Long Xiaoyuan snorted coldly. "You still know it's yours!"
Shi Qingzhou touched his nose. "Um… "
Long Xiaoyuan found it amusing to see the other party's appearance, and couldn't help but go over and pinch the other party's cheek.
Shi Qingzhou frowned slightly, his cheeks were pinched, he was a little uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to resist.
Long Xiaoyuan squeezed, then stopped, looking at Shi Qingzhou. "Hmph, I can barely forgive you this time!"
Shi Qingzhou touched his nose.
Only then did Long Xiaoyuan take Shi Qingzhou's hand, and then the two sat aside.
Shi Qingzhou talked about the process of borrowing soldiers.
After listening to Long Xiaoyuan, he said: "So that army has been broken up into pieces and went to Shuanghua City in batches?"
"Yes, they have rich experience in marching, and they will definitely not be noticed by others."
"Huh..." Long Xiaoyuan let out a long breath. "Qingzhou, this time, thank you for your hard work."
"Don't blame me?" Shi Qingzhou raised his eyebrows.
Long Xiaoyuan rolled his eyes. "Who dares to blame you?"
Shi Qingzhou looked at Long Xiaoyuan with his eyes open, and said with his eyes that he didn't know who was angry just now!
Long Xiaoyuan smiled. "Who told you to leave without saying goodbye."
Shi Qingzhou didn't want to pay attention to the other party, and said directly: "I'm hungry."
"Okay, I'll let someone prepare the meal."
Shi Qingzhou nodded, watching Long Xiaoyuan busy himself.
He instinctively didn't like the lifeless Long Xiaoyuan just now, and he was a little scared, as if that kind of Long Xiaoyuan was very far away from him, and he couldn't grasp that feeling, so he didn't like it very much.
Long Xiaoyuan, who had returned to normal now, was the one he was familiar with.
Shi Qingzhou no longer wants to think about the other party's dreams. He always feels that after the "Yellow Liang Dream", the other party has some things that he still hides from him.
But he also felt that if he really knew the secrets that the other party didn't reveal, it might not be a good thing for the two of them.
With such intuition, even when Long Xiaoyuan didn't want to go deeper, he instinctively followed the other party's wishes.
Now, he just wants to stay by the other party's side.
Shi Qingzhou instinctively felt that as long as he was by the opponent's side, Long Xiaoyuan, who could not be caught like that, would not appear!
After the meal, Long Xiaoyuan felt in the mood, so he and Shi Qingzhou went out for a walk in the street.
When he got to the street, Long Xiaoyuan still didn't change his shopping habits, he bought everything he saw that was interesting, or whatever he thought was suitable for light boats.
Not long after, Shi Qingzhou received several gifts.
Looking at these little things, Shi Qingzhou was a little bit dumbfounded, but at the same time, he was most moved.
At least, this means that Long Xiaoyuan is thinking about him, doesn't it
Shi Qingzhou accepted the gift, and Long Xiaoyuan wanted to go back after leading the people around for a while.
At this time, there was a little commotion ahead.
Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou immediately looked towards the source of the commotion.
I saw a middle-aged man kick down a beggar child, who was seven or eight years old at most.
Long Xiaoyuan's gaze sank slightly, and he also walked over there.
Shi Qingzhou followed.
"Dare to steal from the uncle! You want to die!" The middle-aged man viciously kicked the little beggar again.
There were many onlookers, but none of them stepped forward to give the little beggar a hand.
"He really stole something from you?" When the middle-aged man wanted to kick him up again, Long Xiaoyuan grabbed his wrist and exerted a little force.
Even if Long Xiaoyuan's third-rate kung fu is incomparable to Shi Qingzhou and the others, it is still comparable to this big guy who doesn't know martial arts.
Therefore, the big man was immediately pinched by him.
Shi Qingzhou frowned, he didn't like Long Xiaoyuan "touching" others like this. dirty!
So, Shi Qingzhou walked to Long Xiaoyuan's side, and then tugged at the hem of his clothes.
Long Xiaoyuan turned his head to look at Shi Qingzhou, "What's wrong?"
While asking, Long Xiaoyuan also left the middle-aged man.
Shi Qingzhou shook his head, and set his eyes on the little beggar.
"You stole his money?" Shi Qingzhou said quietly.
"No, no." The little beggar raised his head. Although his small face was dirty, the outline was not bad, and he was quite handsome.
Shi Qingzhou raised his eyebrows. "If you didn't steal it, people would say you did?"
The little beggar said again and again: "I really didn't steal it."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man said angrily, "It's just you, a little bastard, who ever got close to me, who else is it if it's not you!"
"I just want to beg for food, I didn't steal money!" The little beggar differentiated impatiently, and then looked at Shi Qingzhou and the others, hoping that Shi Qingzhou and the others could save him.
"A child, can't you tell if your money is hidden on him?" Shi Qingzhou said lightly, and then gestured. A shadow guard appeared, picked up the child, and searched his lower body. "No money."
The surrounding crowd was in an uproar.
The middle-aged man roared. "If you say there is no money, there is no money. I think you have hidden the money! Otherwise, who would help a little beggar!"
A cold light flashed in the shadow guard's eyes, and he slapped him directly.
The middle-aged man didn't expect that the shadow guard would do it when he said it, and he was staggered by the beating, and then he turned over. "Ah..." The middle-aged man screamed. Do it, afraid of being harmed, so they all ran away.
"You... you... I want to report to the officials!" The middle-aged man roared.
The shadow guard sneered, then picked up the middle-aged man and searched him.
"What is this?" A bag of silver was thrown out.
The middle-aged man's eyes flashed. "It's my silver! Mine!"
"Knowing it's yours, you'll take two bags of silver with you when you take it out?"
"What's the problem?" the middle-aged man growled. "I'm happy to take two bags of silver to go out, what's the matter with you!"
The shadow guard didn't want to talk nonsense, and looked directly at Shi Qingzhou and Long Xiaoyuan.
Long Xiaoyuan squinted his eyes, and said calmly: "Since he wants to report to the government, then throw him to the government."
The middle-aged man's expression changed.
The shadow guard didn't care what the middle-aged man wanted to say, he just picked him up and left with ease.
Long Xiaoyuan glanced at the little beggar, and suddenly had a plan in his mind.
"Is there anyone else in your family?"
The little beggar shook his head immediately. "No, all my relatives are dead, and I'm the only one left."
Long Xiaoyuan smiled slightly. "Then would you like to come with me?"
"Benefactor is willing to take me in?" The little beggar's eyes lit up immediately.
Long Xiaoyuan still smiled slightly. "Well, come with me."
The little beggar immediately agreed, and Long Xiaoyuan said again: "Do you know how many children like you are in the city?"
The little beggar was taken aback.
Long Xiaoyuan explained in detail. "It's about the same age as you. Orphans without relatives, I can take you away together."
The little beggar's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Yes, I have several friends!"
Long Xiaoyuan smiled and said, "Then call them all."
"Then benefactor... and some older grandparents, can you go with us?"
Long Xiaoyuan paused for a moment, then nodded. "Okay, everything is fine."
The little beggar was happy and hurried to find someone.
Long Xiaoyuan sent a shadow guard to follow...
After everyone disappeared, Shi Qingzhou asked Long Xiaoyuan. "what you up to?"
Long Xiaoyuan said softly, "We'll talk about it when we go back."
Shi Qingzhou narrowed his eyes and looked at Long Xiaoyuan, but said nothing more.
Soon, the two returned to the inn.
After entering the room, Shi Qingzhou said: "Can we talk now?"
Long Xiaoyuan smiled slightly. "Those children are just at the right age to practice martial arts."
Shi Qingzhou was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and understood the other party's intention.
"You want to... train them?"
Long Xiaoyuan nodded. "That's right, cultivate into a shadow guard."
Shi Qingzhou immediately calculated, and nodded after a while. "They're all orphans, they don't have a family, and they don't have to worry about their sincerity. They are indeed good seedlings."
Long Xiaoyuan smiled slightly. "That's right."
Shi Qingzhou thought for a while, then said: "But those older ones are useless, right?"
"Although it is not very useful, it does not mean that it is not available. The most important thing is that it can buy people's hearts."
Shi Qingzhou paused and nodded. "Indeed, those beggars live together. We only take away the children, but leave the poor old people behind. It feels too cruel."
"Yes, anyway, we are not short of this ration, and it is good to bring those old people with us. We can open some villages outside the imperial city, and collect beggars from all over the place, and they are also labor force."
Shi Qingzhou pursed his lips. "This plan is very good, but some beggars are already working as zombies."
Otherwise, how could he be a beggar.
"Some children are too young, and those who have lost their labor force can also help to look after the children. Anyway, as long as a person is alive, there is always his value. Don't worry about that."
Shi Qingzhou stared fixedly at Long Xiaoyuan for a long time, then smiled softly.
"It is the blessing of all the people in the world that the emperor has such a heart."
Long Xiaoyuan's eyes brightened slightly. "Really? Qingzhou really thinks so?"
"It's natural." Shi Qingzhou smiled slightly.
Long Xiaoyuan also smiled, and hugged him into his arms with a smile.
Shi Qingzhou smiled slightly. I couldn't help thinking in my heart, this is indeed a blessing for the people.
The two warmed up for a while, and after handing over the beggar's affairs to the shadow guard, Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou set off on their way back to Shuanghua City the next day.
"I don't know what's going on in Tianyin Castle." Shi Qingzhou said.
Long Xiaoyuan tilted his head. "Don't worry, Xu You is not stupid, and there are shadow guards watching, there will be no major problems."
Shi Qingzhou turned his head and looked at the other party. "I don't think you're too worried?"
"Haha." Long Xiaoyuan laughed. "It's not that I'm not worried, but I think since we have the initiative now, the unlucky ones should not be on our side."
Shi Qingzhou was silent for a while, and said: "That's true."
Long Xiaoyuan pulled Shi Qingzhou to sit on him. They were on their way to Shuanghua City now, and because Long Xiaoyuan, a modern person, really didn't like riding horses, they were riding in a carriage.
Needless to say, the speed of the two-horse carriage is very high. Moreover, the interior of the carriage has been arranged so that it is really comfortable to sit on. Long Xiaoyuan pulled Shi Qingzhou onto his lap, and Shi Qingzhou did not object.
Long Xiaoyuan put one hand on Shi Qingzhou's waist, and couldn't help rubbing it carefully.
Shi Qingzhou's eyes flickered slightly, feeling the desire of the other party, and slightly pursed the corners of his lips.
Although the location is a bit of a shame, but…
I don't know what to think of, Shi Qingzhou just lowered his eyelids slightly, but he didn't refuse.
Long Xiaoyuan originally wanted to gain some advantage, but he didn't expect that Qingzhou from his family would acquiesce!
Long Xiaoyuan's heart suddenly became hot.
Then, the scale of some movements couldn't help getting bigger, Shi Qingzhou was turned around by Long Xiaoyuan, and sat face to face on the opponent's lap...
The scorching heat was burning in the carriage, Long Xiaoyuan kissed Shi Qingzhou's lips vigorously but tenderly...
