He Yan failed to see Li Kuang for several days.

Li Kuang seemed to be deliberately not seeing him. He Yan could not find his people, and his subordinates refused to tell He Yan where he was. He Yan blocked Li Kuang several times, and Li Kuang also looked like he didn't want to talk to her. He Yan had to say, "Mr. Li, before coming to Rundu, I have asked someone to invite reinforcements. Besides, I have also said that the troops in Rundu are not without the possibility of fighting with UT people. Why should Lord Li guard a dead end and block his own way alive?"

"This is in Rundu, not Liangzhou." Li Kuang's attitude was also very tough, and he was not moved by He Yan's words. "Although you are Wu'anlang personally appointed by His Majesty, your power is not as great as you can order me. I am very grateful for your help in the night attack on the enemy camp, but until then, you don't interfere if I do anything afterwards."

He Yan looked at him carefully. When he first came to Rundu, although Li Kuang had a sad face and was still a little angry, his expression was not right now, and his eyes were dull, as if he had made up some determination and was stubborn.

His mood was obviously bad, not just because He Yan could detect it.

"Mr. Li...what is planning to deal with the famine in the city?" He Yan asked, looking at his back.

Li Kuang was shocked and said, "I said that I have my own way, it's not your business!"

He Yan walked around Li Kuang and looked him in the eyes, "Mr. Li, I am indeed not from Rundu, but I am very clear about the current situation. Things have not reached the worst step yet. We burned the UT's food and grass once, and we can kill their troops next time. If Lord Li keeps burning the jade and stones, there is no way to fight this battle. This city cannot be defended at all."

She said this a little more seriously. A look of anger appeared on Li Kuang's face, "What do you know!"

"I know that if Lord Li mistakenly estimates the situation in front of him, he will make a wrong decision."

There was a little anxiety in Li Kuang's eyes. He endured it and then, but finally couldn't help but push He Yan away in front of him and said, "I have my own opinions on how to do it, and you don't need your guidance!"

He strode out, not giving He Yan a chance to speak.

He Yan frowned and stared at his back, his anxiety getting stronger and stronger.

She was not dealing with Li Kuangchu, and Li Kuang's reaction was clearly a boredom that was already at the end of the road. He refused to believe He Yan's other way, and He Yan could not convince him, so he could not command the soldiers of Rundu. Even if she knocked Li Kuang out, the soldiers of Rundu would not obey her orders-Li Kuang had been leading these soldiers for too long.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that he would not choose the "adventure" decision that He Yan said.

She slowly walked out of the house, worried. In the past few days, even Zhao Shiming had less food, and the food was getting smaller and smaller. It would be fine if she didn't walk when she was hungry, but when she walked around, she felt more and more hungry, and she just wished that everything could turn into food and stuff it into her mouth.

Huyat had not yet launched an attack on Rundu. That night, the food and grass were burned. I was afraid that the Utuans would not be as calm as they were on the surface these days. Huya certainly hoped to attack the city immediately, but the existence of "General Feihong" made them a little afraid.

But this fear will eventually dissipate. Huyat will always discover the truth. If you send someone to Huayuan area, you will know that the current situation in Rundu is fake. When Huyat finds that "General Feihong" is fake, he will immediately launch an attack on Rundu. So these few days are actually the days that He Yan has fought for the people of Rundu.

But Li Kuang was stubborn and conservative.

As she was walking, she ran into Qi Luo head-on. This girl looked a little thinner than when He Yan first arrived in Rundu. Her original oval face was hungry and her chin was pointed, less sweet and more charming. But as soon as she saw He Yan, she smiled and showed a familiar smile: "Mr. Xiaohe."

"Miss Qiluo."

"Have you quarreled with the master?" Qiluo pointed outside the door, "I just saw the master going out angrily. Lord Xiaohe should not be angry with the master. The master is a little straightforward, but he is a good person. If you offend Lord Xiaohe, I will compensate you for the master and the master."

She was wholeheartedly considering her master. He Yan smiled bitterly and shook her head, "It's okay, we just have some disagreements."

Qi Luo nodded without understanding.

He Yan saw that she was holding a bunch of garland-like things in her hand, and asked, "There are still flowers now?"

All the edible things in Rundu were probably cut out and eaten by hungry people. How could there be flowers to weave garlands? Qiluo smiled and handed the garlands to He Yan. He Yan took them over. Seeing that the garlands were very small, I don’t know what kind of straw they were made of. They were dotted with scattered purple flowers. He Yan approached to smell them, but was stopped by Qiluo: "It’s not smelling, Lord Xiaohe, this flower is poisonous!"

He Yan: "It's poisonous?"

"Soul-breaking grass, the better it looks, the more poisonous it is. Everyone knows it, so no matter how hungry you are, you won't pick it for eating it. Otherwise, how could I use it to weave a garland?" She sighed again, "No matter when, poisonous weeds always grow particularly lush, and it would be great if the crops in the fields could do this."

Seeing that He Yan was silent, Qiluo smiled and said, "Is Lord Xiaohe interested in this garland? I can teach Lord Xiaohe to make this garland, maybe give it to your sweetheart, and your sweetheart will be very happy."

She was still thinking about He Yan's false "love" and He Yan was a little amused and laughed. She thought that if she had weaved a garland for Xiao Jue, Xiao Jue would probably think she was sick and would be fine if she didn't beat her to death.

"Forget it," He Yan shook his head, "He doesn't like these flowers and grasses. I've learned the kindness of Miss Qiluo."

Qi Luo was a little disappointed, took the garland from He Yan's hand and said, "Okay, but why can't there be no girl who likes flowers and grass? When the master picked flowers for me, I was happy for a while."

"Mr. Li?" He Yan said in his heart. He didn't expect that Li Kuang's fierce personality would pick flowers for his beloved concubine.

"Yes," Qiluo nodded desperately, as if she was afraid that He Yan would not believe it. "It was picked for me this morning, and I weave a garland."

He Yan's original smile paused, "Today?"

"No," Qiluo smiled. "The master is very nice to me recently." She forgot to say that she was just concerned about sharing her joy with He Yan. "I promised to wait until the war in Rundu was over, and I would like to live in a big house and allow me to plant plum trees in the yard. Yesterday, I also gave me my dry food."

As he spoke, Qi Luo's face also appeared confused, "Is it because I have been a little better recently? Or is my dead mother bless me in heaven. The master is so obedient to me that I almost don't know him."

He Yan's heart sank, and that terrible guess came to his mind again. She asked Qiluo, "Apart from this, what else is wrong with Lord Li recently?"

"No." Qi Luo shook his head and complained to He Yan a little, "But Mr. Xiaohe, how can you scream right when you treat me well? The master was also very nice to me in the past, but now he is just better to me. Maybe it's 'true love is seen in times of adversity'. Now I am with the master, and the master must be moved."

He Yan frowned and took a step forward, "Miss Qiluo, you'd better avoid Lord Li these days."

"Why?" Qiluoqi said.

He Yan looked at her. The girl with a beautiful and beautiful face had grown up a lot, and her smile always had a bit of fox-like cunning, which made her look smart and clever, and very cute, but her eyes still showed childishness.

A charming beauty, a...a woman with no power to tie a chicken.

"Maybe... Lord Li will hurt you." He Yan said in a deep voice.

Qi Luo was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Mr. Xiaohe, what does this mean? It's too late for the master to spoil me, how could he hurt me?"

He Yan knew that she didn't believe it. In fact, women always thought that men were particularly affectionate, but they didn't know... they didn't know that those long-term feelings also had a prerequisite.

"In the peaceful and prosperous times, the girl is naturally worthy of favor." He Yan's voice was low, so low that it almost made people unable to hear the pain in her voice. "But in the chaotic world, life is like grass. For Lord Li, no matter how important a girl is, it is not as heavy as a city in Rundu."

Qiluo: "I still don't understand."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand." He Yan looked up at her, "Mr. Li is very busy all day long. You should not get along with him alone these days. When you have nothing to do during the day, go to other places to find Lord Zhao or other people. In short, if you can't see Lord Li, you won't see Lord Li."

Qiluo looked at her strangely. What the young Wu'anlang said was inexplicable. How could anyone persuade him to be alienated from his master? If it weren't for her knowing that He Yan led elite troops to attack the enemy camp a few days ago and rescued the captured women, Qiluo would have doubted whether this person was a bad person.

She said, "Sir Xiaohe, I...I am the master's concubine, and it is impossible not to see him."

"After the war is over, you can see whatever you want, but now, stay away from her!"

The boy's eyes were very clear and dark, and he was extremely powerful when he looked at people. Qi Luo nodded subconsciously and shook his head.

He Yan also hesitated in his heart. She is now a "Wu'anlang". No matter how suspicious or worried about Qiluo, she would not be able to put other people's concubines by her side and make people quarrel. If this is the case, I am afraid that Li Kuang will feel that he has become the second Jiang Jiao, and he may really be able to cut Qiluo. She said, "You go to find Lord Zhao's wife and be with her during the day. If Lord Li suddenly wants to find you, you can ask someone to tell me, I'll go with you."

Qi Luo was a little suspicious, but He Yan was very persistent and finally agreed. After repeated instructions, He Yan went to find Wang Ba and the others.

On the day of the night attack, Wang Ba and the others were injured along with her. Shi Tou and Jiang Jiao were fine, but Wang Ba injured his legs, which was not too serious. Huang Xiong's wound should be deeper. The wound was on his left hand and the knife marks were very deep. So it was not his right hand. If not, I was afraid that I would not be able to hold the knife in the future.

In any case, they were all raising them. When they got to the house, Hongshan and Huang Xiong were sleeping, while Shi Tou and Xiaomai went to help repair the weapons and shields. Only Jiang Jiao and Wang Ba sat on the edge of the threshold.

Seeing He Yan, the two raised their heads and Jiang Jiao said, "Brother He, how about it?"

He Yan shook his head.

Wang Wuqiu said: "What's wrong with the person surnamed Li? He looks tall and big, why are he so brave? He has been guarding the city as a turtle. My mother has been hungry these days and lost weight. If this continues, everyone will starve to death together. When they get underground, they will still starve to death. It's better to die when they kill the Utuner!"

Jiang Jiao said, "Mr. Li is also afraid that the city will be destroyed and the people will be buried with the people, but..." He looked at He Yan, "I asked the soldiers here that they had no food. In the past few days, we have all relied on the dry food brought from Liangzhou. This little dry food was eaten up yesterday. From yesterday to now, we have not eaten anything, so it won't work."

"That's right! Even rats were taken out and eaten by people in Rundu City, and there was no one insect to see. Is this the hell that he wants us to chew on the table? What was Li Kuang thinking? If he had known that the day when the food and grass would be burned, the more would not be taken away, and the few would be grabbed and put on his body, and he would be able to withstand half a day."

Jiang Jiao was both funny and angry, "It's already that time, so how can you care about so many places? Brother He," he looked at He Yan, "Do you have no other way?"

"The Utu people's food and grass were burned, but they could still hunt outside the city and not starve to death." He Yan was worried, "Only by whoever consumed it longer, the people of Rundu would definitely not consume the Utu people. Therefore, Li Kuang's idea was definitely impossible. And he would not agree to leave the city and face the Utu people head-on. I cannot order Rundu's troops, so I can only seek foreign aid, just..."

But I'm afraid that Run will have a big mess before that day. Li Kuang's attitude these days is very wrong.

She sighed and said nothing.

...

On the other end, Qiluo went to find Mrs. Zhao.

Although He Yan's behavior is strange, it is very strange. Qi Luo always has an indescribable sense of intimacy with He Yan. Therefore, although she did not believe what He Yan said at all, she was still willing to do what He Yan said. Now Li Kuang is very busy every day and doesn't care about her. She can go anywhere during the day, but she is more free than before.

Mrs. Zhao was holding her little grandson with a sad face. Her wife was seriously ill in bed. It was useless for the doctor to come a few times. Everyone knew that this was a disease caused by hunger. Without food, of course she couldn't take care of her body. Mrs. Zhao herself was so hungry that she took off her body. She was so good that she was a magistrate. Now her clothes are much bigger, and her exposed arms are so thin that they can break with force.

Qiluo thought to himself that the petite ladies in the city in the past shouted to eat less every day, looking at the thin and light and adorable, but they were afraid that no one would think like this again after the war. The feeling of hunger was really hard to bear. A flower always had to drink enough dew on its own before it could bloom for others to see.

Mrs. Zhao only said a few words to Qiluo, then closed her mouth and looked depressed. At this time, she was so hungry that she didn't even want to say anything.

Qiluo sat with her for a while, and a soldier came over outside and said to Qiluo: "Miss Qiluo, sir, look for you."

"Look for me?" Qi Luo was a little surprised. Li Kuang was busy with the war in Rundu all day long. If she hadn't taken the initiative to look for Li Kuang, Li Kuang would not come to her on his own initiative. However, thinking of Li Kuang's special favor for her these days, Qi Luo felt happy. The only benefit of the war in Rundu was that Li Kuang saw her loyalty. Perhaps this love lasted more than three years, and ten years were very likely.

At this moment, she was only filled with the joy of fantasy in her mind. She had already left He Yan's instructions behind, happily lifted the corner of her skirt, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll go see the master now."

Qiluo followed the soldiers to the house. There were not only Li Kuang, but also Li Kuang's deputy soldiers, several adults in Rundu City, and a few Li Kuang's confidants. Qiluo was a little surprised. She thought that Li Kuang missed her and wanted to be kind to her. There were so many people, but it didn't look like she wanted to be kind to be kind to her. Maybe some big shot was coming? She, the most beautiful girl in Rundu, wanted to fight for Li Kuang's face? But this wasn't right. If there were big shots, how could the magistrate Zhao Shiming not be there?

She walked forward and said, "Master."

Li Kuangzheng turned his back to her and turned around after hearing this. These days he has become much haggard and aged, standing with Qiluo, and he really looks like Qiluo's father. The famous general of the Wei Dynasty, General Feihong, once joked like this, but Qiluo did not think anything was there. Her own father passed away early, and Li Kuang gave her food, the house she lived in, and shelter. Many biological fathers in this world could not do this to their daughter. Moreover, Li Kuang is a hero who protects the people. She admires him and never thinks that there is anything wrong with him.

At this moment, her "husband" raised her eyes and looked at Qiluo. Her eyes were filled with deep meaning that she couldn't understand, as if it was painful, and as if it was mixed with coldness. After watching like this for a long time, he asked in a hoarse voice: "Qiluo, how long have you been with me?"

Qiluo turned her head and thought, "Go back to the master, I have been with the master for more than three years. After this summer, it will be four years."

Li Kuang loved her very much, so he kept her with him wherever she went. His own wife and son were in Shuojing and he had to support his parents. It was impossible for him to follow him to come to the bitter and cold place of the border. However, Qi Luo, a young lady who looked young and beautiful, has followed him for many years and has no complaints.

He was straightforward and generous in his life, and did not like women's intrigue. Qiluo was a little harmless and simple, but more of a simple enthusiasm. She was easily satisfied and always clearly wrote the word "fight for favor" on her face. She treated people very politely, and her colleagues envied him for having such a flower of explanation. In fact, Qiluo never really enjoyed anything.

As his beloved concubine, he is not as good as those women in the capital.

Li Kuang murmured: "It's been four years..."

His tone was heavy, and Qiluo felt a little scared inexplicably. She turned her head to look at the people around her, and the soldiers around her who were familiar with her in the past turned their heads and avoided her gaze.

Why is this?

No matter how smart she is on weekdays, she can't understand the truth, so she stared at Li Kuang with her wet eyes like grapes, full of doubts.

There was also a flash of pain in Li Kuang's eyes, and he said after a moment: "Come here."
To be continued...
