The little girl raised her lips, as if she was really happy for him, and said:
"Brother Xiao has countless talented people under his command. You can't always rely on past friendships. If you can accumulate some military merit after going to the northwest, you can get a good job in the future."
Xiao Yan's identity is destined that those who follow him will join the court in the future. However, due to their high status in the court, they cannot be relied upon, but they cannot just rely on the current master-servant relationship.
Canglang and Jinyun have been following Xiao Yan, while Tubai, Zhang Bin and others are also fighting everywhere.
If Hang Li wants to get ahead, the northwest is indeed the best place to go.
Xue Ru raised her head slightly and said, "I heard that the wind and sand in the northwest are strong and that Beiling is restless. If you go, be careful everywhere. Even if you want to protect your future, you have to take safety into consideration."
"By the way, Brother Hang, are you going to Fengcheng or Linping, or somewhere else? Are you going alone, or are you going to bring others with you..."
Hang Li patiently replied: "I am not alone. I am working for my master. I will go to Linping with General Fu of Long Tingwei and others. But if there is a war in the northwest, I will go to Fengcheng."
"Then how long are you going?"
"The short term can be two or three years, and the long term can be five or six years."
"so long?"
Xue Ru was stunned for a moment, and before Hang Li could speak, she explained in a low voice.
"That's right. Getting ahead in the military is something that happens overnight. Three or five years is normal. So when does Brother Hang plan to leave? I will also prepare a gift for you and wish you a safe journey."
"Two days later."
"..."
Xue Ru's eyelashes trembled: "Two days? So fast?"
She thought there was still some time left...
Xue Ru felt an inexplicable aches and pains in her heart. She was silent for a moment before speaking: "Then I have to prepare the gift quickly, otherwise it will only be used as a congratulatory gift in the future. When you become successful, you will not look down on me. Valuable things, maybe you will be a majestic general when you return to the capital..."
"Won't."
Hang Li suddenly spoke up.
Xue Ru was stunned for a moment: "What?"
"I said I won't look down on it. As long as it's a gift from you, I will cherish it."
Hang Li looked at the little girl who was looking up at him, and suddenly felt that his so-called generosity before was too high of himself.
He hoped that she would be safe and happy, and that she would be as happy as she wanted, but he even more hoped that she would have a place for him in her heart.
He was jealous of Di Tao's enthusiasm and envied Li Chi's closeness. He wanted to express his feelings to her seriously. No matter what happened in the future, at least let her know that his feelings for her were not temporary.
Hang Li said very seriously: "Aru, I'm not going to the northwest just for my future."
"I want to be able to stand on a high place, and I want to no longer be the guard of Cuiyun Lane when everyone mentions me. I want to be able to stand in front of the girl I like, just like my master, and tell her that I am My heart pleases her.”
"I want my love to bring her glory instead of slander. People will only admire this love when they mention it. Aru, I want that if we can get together one day, even if there are no girls and them, you don't have to be here." Bow before anyone."
Xue Ru's eyelashes trembled slightly. She didn't expect that Hang Li would suddenly reveal his feelings, let alone that a man who was always silent and cold could say these words.
Her heart was beating hard, she unconsciously clutched the account book in her hand, and she was even more at a loss when she spoke:
"Brother Hang, I..."
"You don't have to answer me."
When Hang Li raised his lips, the smile softened the coldness on his face.
"I never thought of telling you my feelings before, because even I don't know what I will encounter after going to the northwest. You are the girl I fell in love with for the first time. I want you to be happy without having to carry any burdens. Anything that shouldn’t be carried.”
"I'm not telling you this to exchange for your answer, and you don't need to take it too seriously."
"Life and death are unpredictable in the battlefield. If I survive and you don't meet the person you like, I will return to Beijing and express my feelings to you. Then you will think about whether to agree to me."
"If I died early in the northwest, you don't have to be too sad, just do whatever you want..."
"Brother Hang!"
Xue Ru's heart palpitated, and she subconsciously interrupted, her brows furrowed in disapproval.
Hang Li couldn't help laughing when he saw this: "I'm just talking. I cherish my life very much, and I will do my best to come back safely. Maybe you will have made a name for yourself in the academy by then."
"I also want to watch you and the girls prepare to build a women's concubine, and watch you shock the world and surprise everyone. How could I die so easily?"
Xue Ru saw that he was talking and laughing as usual, and the tension in her heart dissipated.
For the first time, Hang Li reached out and rubbed her head: "It's my own business to express my feelings to you. You don't have to take it to heart. If you meet someone who suits your liking in Beijing after I go to the northwest, you don't have to." I’m embarrassed by what I said today.”
Xue Ru tilted her head: "Then if I really marry someone else, won't you be sad?"
Hang Li laughed: "How can you not be sad? I will definitely feel very uncomfortable, and maybe even get drunk, but if you can be happy and spend three years, five years, ten years or eight years, I will definitely be able to convince you. Relieve yourself.”
He wanted her, but he was not trapped.
Xue Ru looked at Hang Li quietly, trying to distinguish the truth from what he said.
Hang Li lowered his head and looked back, his dark eyes filled with her reflection.
Xue Ru asked in a low voice: "Can I know when you like me?"
"When you were still in the Song family."
Hang Li seemed to remember something and laughed softly: "That night you came to Jiuyun Lane to find a girl. When you came back, you were frightened by a wild cat that jumped out of the alley and cried. I was thinking at the time, such a timid girl How dare you tip off the girl behind the Song family's back, only to see you lift up your skirt and sneak into the corner."
Xue Ru's face froze, she took half a step back and stared at Hang Li: "How do you know?"
Hang Li: "The girl didn't trust you that day and asked me to escort you back."
Xue Ru's face turned green and white. She never expected that Hang Li had seen her so early and seen her getting into a dog hole.
Her previous shyness when she was confessed instantly turned into embarrassment, her face turned red, and she suddenly remembered something, pointed at Hang Li and said, "So you were the one who beat Song Tan that day and made him fall into the lotus pond and break his body." leg?"
Hang Li nodded: "I couldn't stand his vicious words at the time. I wanted to teach him a lesson, but I didn't know he was so unlucky."
Xue Ru: "...So my sister also knows about this?"
Hang Li said "hmm".
Xue Ru's face was blue and white.
Hang Li slowly realized something was wrong and stepped forward to ask: "What's wrong? His face is so ugly..."
"Snapped!"
The hand that reached over was suddenly slapped away. Xue Ru glared at Hang Li fiercely, turned around and walked away holding the account book.
Sister Qian was indeed right.
There is nothing good about men! !
Her image in my sister's heart was completely ruined! ! !
