Traveling through troubled times, he fled with his stepson

Li Yuan walked in. If he was not still covered in dust and dirt from rushing back, Wei Qiqi would have thought that he was already resting in the City Lord's Mansion.

"You just arrived?"

Wei Qiqi went forward and the first thing he did was to check if he had any wounds.

"No, I went to the mansion first. I came back when you were not here." Li Yuan dodged Wei Qiqi's hand and looked at her worriedly and said, "You are not injured, but you are dirty. I will go and clean it up."

Thinking of his bad temper, Wei Qiqi nodded: "Let Yixi prepare everything for you, just go."

"How long will it take for you to get out? I'll ask them to prepare food for you."

Li Yuan shook his head: "Tell them to go, don't bother yourself."

He had a strong smell, a smell of blood, earth, and not having washed for days. No wonder he wouldn't let Wei Qiqi touch him.

Yi Xi was guarding outside the house. She lowered her head and stood quietly outside with the other servants waiting.

I have to say that the master of this house is very easy to serve. He rarely loses his temper and always waits by my side without me having to bathe or be polite.

There was a constant sound of water inside, and after a while a voice came: "Come in."

Yi Xi quickly called someone and let him in.

After a while, the man came out with a pile of clothes and said, "Master, the master asked me to burn the clothes."

Yi Xi took a look at the clothes and nodded, letting the man leave.

After Li Yuan finished washing up, he took clothes from the rack and put them on, opening the door while the moisture on his body was still wet.

"City Lord."

Yi Xi stepped forward and handed him his coat.

"Where's Qi Niang?"

"She's going to get you something to eat." Although Yi Xi knew what her master was thinking, she still couldn't help but feel frightened when facing the waiter directly.

Her master was so kind that she couldn't bear to let this kind of relationship become a stain on them.

Li Yuan stopped and was about to leave, but Yi Xi called him, "City Lord!"

Li Yuan, who was called, turned around and said, "Wipe your hair, otherwise it will be easy to..."

"It doesn't matter."

Li Yuan answered with an indecipherable expression and left quickly.

The movement in the kitchen was very fast. After all, Yi Xi had asked people to prepare and process the ingredients in advance, so now all that was left was to cook.

When he arrived, the kitchen was not finished yet.

"I told you not to do it, so why did you come all this way?"

Li Yuan stood behind Wei Qiqi and suddenly spoke. Wei Qiqi was frightened and shuddered: "Why are you hiding behind people like a ghost?"

"If you're worried, ask them to make something that's easy to digest, not something greasy."

Wei Qiqi looked at Li Yuan. Now that he didn't have to go to the barracks or fight in the war, the clothes he wore were relatively comfortable and loose, and he didn't even tie the corset around his waist.

This kind of outfit would look elegant on a slightly frail person, but he wore it in an overbearing and casual manner, as if no one else could match him.

Seeing the still wet hair, Wei Qiqi couldn't help but frown: "Why did you run outside when your hair wasn't dry?"

His hair was neither tied up nor pinned, but held loosely with a wooden hairpin, and the rest of his hair was loose, the moisture having wet his clothes at his shoulders.

It's obvious that the hair was not completely dried.

"Done." Li Yuan said, grabbing the end of the hair with his fingers and hooking it, as if checking whether it was not dry yet.

"What's the use of your hair ends? The moisture has soaked your shoulders." After saying that, she pulled his arm and led him out of the kitchen.

Putting the towel on his hair, Wei Qiqi asked him to wipe it clean himself. Li Yuan did not argue, he nodded and started to move his hands.

Wei Qiqi watched helplessly as her smooth and shiny hair became a mat as he rubbed it.

The contrast between the grass nest and Li Yuan's expressionless face was so funny that it made people laugh and cry.

"No... you wiped my hair very well, why did it become like this when it was your turn?"

In silence, Wei Qiqi took the towel from his hand and began to wipe his hair. He couldn't help but say, "You are such a capable person, but you can't even wipe your hair?"

"Am I good enough?" Li Yuan turned around and asked.

"Amazing! Of course I am awesome. I have been praising you since you were a child, saying that you are extremely talented and intelligent." Wei Qiqi raised a handful of hair.

The inky black hair felt slightly cool in the hand, like silk soaked in water.

The silk fell into her hands and she wiped off the moisture carefully, making her hair messy as she wiped.

"But it's not unacceptable that you can't dry your hair, compared to other people."

Li Yuan, who was listening to Wei Qiqi's words quietly, moved his expression slightly. What about others?

"Do you still remember what Cheng Feiyue looked like at the beginning? Before he met you, he was an arrogant and domineering person. And Guan Lu, that kid is also tough... So your shortcomings can't even be called shortcomings."

As she spoke, she had already wiped one side of his hair and changed the towel to continue wiping him.

"Qiniang still remembers them." She said the question with certainty.

"of course I remember."

"I not only remember them, but also your embarrassing moments." As he spoke, Wei Qiqi told everything he remembered.

"Xiaobao, you were worried when you were a child, and your mind matured too early, which led to your slightly extreme personality. This kind of personality..."

"how?"

Li Yuan opened his mouth and exerted a little force on the fingers placed on the armrest of the chair.

"If you raise this kind of character well, you will be like this. If you raise it badly, you will be in trouble."

"Even if I can't raise the child well, it's not Qi Niang's fault. It's just my own character flaw." Li Yuan turned his head and looked at Wei Qiqi.

"I had already died once when I met Qiniang. To me, it was a blessing of rebirth. It was everything in my life."

Wei Qiqi: “…”

We were just having a nice chat, but you suddenly became so affectionate that it's really hard for me to handle.

"Master, City Lord, the meal is ready."

Wei Qiqi looked at his hair that had been almost combed, picked up the comb beside him and smoothed it all the way down, then took out another coat from the closet for him.

"Change and come out for dinner."

As he spoke, he had already left.

Wei Qiqi's back disappeared behind the door, and Li Yuan grabbed the coat in his hand and started to change.

After changing, he held his hair and looked at it for a long time, and finally let it hang loose and went out.

The two of them had a quiet meal in the City Lord's Mansion.

After eating, Li Yuan went to rest.

After running around for several days, even though his beard was unkempt and his clothes were cleaned up, he was still mentally exhausted and looked a little haggard. He quickly took the time to lie down and rest for a while.

Wei Qiqi saw that he went to bed early and originally wanted to give him a bowl of medicine to get rid of the cold, but now there was no need for it.

Maybe he was too tired or he was not prepared for her footsteps, but Li Yuan was sleeping so soundly that he made no noise.

She knew that as long as he woke up, he would be busy again. I heard that not only Jiguan Mountain was taken back, but also Jiguan Mountain and several surrounding villages and strongholds were taken back, and they would belong to Yizhou's sphere of influence in the future.

There are so many pros and cons and things to consider on all sides that she could guess them even if Li Yuan didn't say it.

That's enough time for her to rest.

Maybe you can do your own thing.
