Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

After seeing the traces of new and old wounds on her back, Leng Youran took a deep breath.

Ji Wanqing, who was lying on the bed, had no idea that someone was watching her. She reached out and took out a handkerchief hidden under her pillow.

The corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.

Leng Youran looked at the object in her hand curiously, and a sense of familiarity rose in his heart.

But she thought about it for a long time and couldn't remember where she had seen it.

She could tell it was a handkerchief used only by men.

She could see that Ji Wanqing treasured the handkerchief very much, and she didn't even dare to use force when stroking it, as if she was afraid of damaging it.

She was very curious about what kind of man was worthy of her cherishing his belongings so much.

He didn't even care about the injuries on his body.

Ji Wanqing didn't know if she was tired, but she fell asleep holding the handkerchief.

Not long after she fell asleep, Chunyu came in again. He first checked the medicine powder on Ji Wanqing's back. Seeing that it had seeped into the wound, he carefully covered her with a thin blanket.

When he saw the handkerchief in her hand, he was not surprised, but just shook his head.

Then he blew out the oil lamp in the room and left.

As she left, Leng Youran also left Ji Wanqing's room while she was closing the door.

Leng Youran, who originally planned to make a fortune in the Duke's Mansion, thought about it and gave up the idea.

If nothing else, if the capital city were in chaos now, they, as outsiders, would definitely be affected.

He glanced at the location of the Duke's Mansion's warehouse reluctantly, and then disappeared in the Duke's Mansion.

On the way back, Leng Youran ran to the big tree and sprinkled a little colorless and odorless medicine powder.

After seeing that the two people in the tree had fallen asleep, she teleported back to the room.

"long?"

"Well, let's talk about it after we enter the space."

Before Li Tianze could answer, he was brought into the space.

"You're leaving late?" Li Tianze saw that it took her less than half an hour to go back and forth, and thought she was late.

"Not really. Ji Wanqing was injured and hasn't rested yet."

Li Tianze nodded but did not agree.

"By the way, has Ji Wanqing ever been engaged?"

Li Tianze didn't know why she asked this question, but he shook his head and said, "We didn't have any when we were in the capital. As for the past six months, I'll ask around tomorrow."

"No need, it shouldn't be." The square-collared handkerchief looked quite old, and it shouldn't have been made in the last year.

It seems that Ji Wanqing didn't leave Duke Ji's Mansion because of that man.

I don’t know what kind of man is worthy of being treated like this by a woman like that.

She could see that Ji Wanqing was not as pretentious as Ji Wanxing. For some reason, she felt very comfortable when she saw her for the first time, not as disgusted as when she faced Ji Wanxing.

She always pays more attention to people who make her feel good.

What she didn't know was that because of what she just said, the bastard was thousands of miles away and she was very familiar with him, so she sneezed three times.

Leng Yuyang, who had already fallen asleep, was awakened by a sudden itchy nose. After sneezing violently several times, he came to his senses.

He moved his body and leaned half against the head of the bed. His fingers fumbled around the edge of the bed as usual. After a while, he got a rusty handkerchief in his hand.

There were no complicated patterns on the white rust handkerchief, only a small word "Qing" (clear) at the corner.

If you look closely, you can see that the embroidery thread on the word "Qing" has become loose and fuzzy due to his rubbing.

Holding the rusty handkerchief, he seemed to be lost in memories.

Over the years, he has been looking for the woman who saved him in the cave. He once mistakenly identified Xiao Qing as that woman. After learning from various sources, he realized that Xiao Qing was not the woman from that day.

He stubbornly believed that the woman that day must be related to the word "Qing", but he searched almost every woman in the capital whose name contained "Qing", but in the end he found nothing.

His fingers gently stroked the word "Qing" on the rusty handkerchief.

Thinking of everything in the dream just now, my heart couldn't help but ache.

He had seen that woman in his dreams countless times over the years, and each time she was covered in bruises.

Every time I wake up from a dream, I secretly hate myself.

Why didn't you tear off the veil on her face before she fell unconscious? That way you wouldn't have to search so hard.

I don't know if she still remembers the agreement with me.

If she remembered, would she have waited in vain?

Thinking of this, the hand holding the handkerchief tightened involuntarily.

***

The capital city thousands of miles away.

Early in the morning.

Leng Youran woke up from her sleep, packed up briefly, and then took Li Tianze out of the space.

The two asked the waiter to prepare some food, ate a few bites and then left.

Soon after leaving the inn, I felt someone following me.

The two smiled at each other and then rushed into the crowd.

The people who followed them out saw that the two figures disappeared in the blink of an eye.

While cursing inwardly, he looked around in frustration.

But there were a lot of people at the market, and unless they checked one by one, it would be impossible to find where the two were hiding.

"Boss, what should I do?"

He Da looked around at the noisy surroundings, knowing that standing there aimlessly would be fruitless. He raised his hand and said, "Let's go back and tell the master. These two are quite skilled in martial arts. Ask the master if we should continue the operation."

After they left, Leng Youran and Li Tianze poked their heads out from the alley not far from them.

"Youyou, these should be people from the Duke of Ji's Mansion. Are you planning to get rid of them?"

Leng Youran pondered for a moment, "Let's go out for a walk tonight!"

Since they want to give away my head, wouldn’t it be a bit unfair to Duke Ji if I don’t accept it?

Besides, wasn't another purpose of her trip to find some people to go back and do some work?

"Okay, let's go find Uncle Li first."

"Okay, let's go!"

With Li Tianze leading the way, the two of them turned around and around and arrived at an alley.

Li Tianze walked to a house that looked a bit old, first drew an arrow pattern on the door, then knocked on the door, and then disappeared with Leng Youran.

The two men did not wait in front of the house, but went around to a hut at the back of the alley.

After they waited for a while, a man who looked to be in his forties walked in.

When the visitor saw Li Tianze and Leng Youran, he was stunned for a moment. Thinking of the unique codeword, he said uncertainly: "There are mountains beyond mountains, buildings beyond buildings, and a single tree stands tall on the wall."

"There are people beyond men, there are heavens beyond heavens, and one pillar stands tall and supports the world."

"Young Master, it's really you." Uncle Li's eyes suddenly turned red and he bowed.

Li Tianze stepped forward and supported him, "Uncle Li, how are you?"

"Nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong, are you all okay? It's been so long since we've heard from you. We're so worried. If we don't hear from you again, we'll probably have to head north in the next two days."
