Li Lan followed Qing Shu back to the former Protectorate General's Mansion where the population was prosperous. Since his father died in the battle, and his mother died soon after, the house has become much deserted.
But as long as the Qing family protects the territory of Dali for the people, the Qing family will never decline.
"Is the princess the daughter of the An family?" Qing Shu led the way, and the thing wrapped in brocade had already been received in his arms. "I wonder what else the princess knows about that girl?"
Listening to Qing Shu's repeated questions, Li Lan could naturally feel the sister's concern for his brother, but the more he said about the girl, the more uncomfortable he would become for the two of them.
Seeing that Li Lan seemed to have something unspeakable, Qing Shu sighed: "If the princess has any inconvenience to say, just let it go. Don't bear too much burden. It's me who begs the princess."
"What's more, if it weren't for the princess, I don't know when I would be able to find this thing, and my brother would not even think about it."
Before Li Lan could reply, the two of them had already arrived at the main hall of the General's Mansion. The waiter greeted Li Lan to sit down, and then made tea and handed it over.
"If the princess is willing, why don't I ask my brother what he wants. If my brother wants to know, please ask the princess to tell my brother about the girl."
As he spoke, Qingshu stood up and went to the side yard to look for his brother.
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard gate, Qing Shu lost his usual confidence in his words and deeds and became a little worried.
Both of his parents died. As a child, Qingshu was extremely dependent on his elder brother. Over the years, his brother has become like this... Even after more than ten years, Qingshu still has difficulty recovering from this.
"Brother?" After several attempts, he finally persuaded his brother to come back this morning. Qingshu didn't know whether he should go into the yard now, "I have something to talk to my brother. Is it convenient for you?"
Although Qingshu is a girl's family, it is the current support of Dali Border Gate. On weekdays, he is also vigorous and resolute, and no one dares to make a move with a horizontal sword. It looks like this now, which few people can see.
"You...come in." The voice in the room was a bit hoarse. In the past ten years or so, Qing Feng has rarely talked to anyone, and it was only when he was facing his sister that he was willing to speak.
In fact, Qing Feng's state is indeed far from crazy. In fact, it may be more appropriate to say that he is in a state of despair. What the young general of the past lost was not only the good match, but also the sharpness of his body, and the look in his eyes that was even better than the morning sun.
"Brother." Qing Shu didn't intend to dwell on it any longer. He took out the brocade cloth from his arms, opened it carefully, and showed it to his brother.
Qing Feng took the things and stared at them for about half a cup of tea, but there was no response at all.
"Brother?" Qing Shu regretted more and more, wondering if he shouldn't have given this thing to his brother. If my brother is further stimulated by this...
"Shu'er, where did you get it?"
"Princess Ping An is the girl from the An family. She and her friends happened to be walking on the official road and passed by a village." Qing Shu paused and asked again, "Brother, do you need me to call the princess and you over? ? If there is anything you need to know, brother can ask the princess directly."
"That's fine."
Seeing that his brother agreed and felt a rare clarity of mind, which was different from the usual despair, Qing Shu got up and went to call Li Lan.
"Just go with me. I'm afraid I will scare the princess."
Qingshu felt that his steps were a little heavier. I remember how heroic my brother was in those days, riding his horse and whipping his whip, wielding the Qing family gun.
Even walking on the street is the presence of hope for others. Even if the hands are stained with blood, they all belong to the enemy, and they are meant to protect the beautiful and green mountains and rivers behind them.
"Brother..." Even though he was so regretful, Qingshu thought: My brother is probably the one who is most desperate, "Okay, I will join you."
After leaving the house, Qing Shu immediately asked Li Lan to go with him to see Qing Feng, "Princess, my brother's current condition is not very good. I'm afraid he will scare the princess. If it's inconvenient for the princess, you can put a screen behind him." .”
Nowadays, in Da Li, there are no rules that prohibit unmarried men and women from meeting each other. If they do it through a screen, it would be a bit disrespectful. Qing Shu will naturally ask Li Lan for permission.
"It doesn't matter. I went back to the city with my friends this morning. I met General Qing." Li Lan put away the smile that usually hung on his face and said seriously, "General Qing is what he is today because of his dedication to the country. In this way, it's too late for me to admire him, so how dare I dislike the general."
"If you despise the general because he is now in despair, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the soldiers who defend the country and the family!"
After hearing what Li Lan said, Qing Shu was naturally relieved.
It is not what my brother wants to lose his soul, but after all, he has become more inferior in these years...
"Thank you, Princess."
"General Qingshu doesn't have to call me like that. If the general is willing, just call me Miss Lan."
Qing Shu responded, and the two of them immediately left the main hall and went to Qing Feng's courtyard.
The autumn wind is slightly cold, but the sunshine brings warmth. No matter how cold it is, there will always be light.
