Chapter 704 [Verse] I only hope that your heart will be like mine (23)
Li Kun hurried back to the city. As soon as he entered the city gate, he saw Pingzhou approaching. When he saw Li Kun, he hurriedly replied: "My lord, it's not good, the young lady is gone."
Li Kun quickly reined in his horse and asked, "Where has Madam gone?"
Pingzhou replied: "I seem to have gone back to Beijing." As he said that, he took out a letter from his sleeve pocket and replied hurriedly: "I went out to buy things today. When I came back, the young lady had already left. Yes, those servants are all hired, and Madam only has a personal attendant, Shishu, so I didn’t ask anything. I just saw a letter in the room that Madam left for the young master."
Li Kun quickly took the letter, his hands trembling because of nervousness, and it took him a long time to open the letter.
There are only a few words in the letter.
Your heart cares about your husband, and you don’t seek wealth and honor. You just want your heart to be like mine. But eventually you see that your husband is wavering. You can’t bear to be embarrassed by your husband, and you don’t want to end up with your love rival, so you take the first step.
Li Kun read these few sentences over and over again several times.
She sat slumped on the horse, her heart suddenly empty.
After a long while, he came back to his senses and murmured to Pingzhou: "When did Madam leave?"
Pingzhou stuttered and replied: "Okay, it seems it was noon, and I went out. I don't know exactly what time the lady left."
After he replied, he saw that his master was slow to say anything, and he continued without a wink: "My lord, Miss Qingluo is awake and is clamoring to see you."
As soon as Pingzhou said those words, he received a heavy whip from Li Kun.
Li Kun is a noble son and has a good education. He rarely speaks harshly to his subordinates. Pingzhou was suddenly whipped and grinned in pain: "My eldest son, what's wrong with you? Why did you hit me?"
“You’re the one who’s being hit!”
Li Kunyang whipped Pingzhou again and cursed bitterly: "Stupid thing!"
Before Pingzhou could recover, Li Kun had already galloped away.
On the way back, Li Kun was still holding on to a bit of luck, thinking that maybe Pingzhou was stupid and that his wife was just going out to do business as usual, not abandoning him. But when he returned to the house, he saw his wife's clothes. The supplies were all gone, and Li Kun suddenly became panicked.
She really left, with resentment towards him, and left without saying goodbye.
Li Kun felt unspeakably uncomfortable.
He stood in the room blankly for a long time, feeling as if his whole body was empty after his wife left.
He stared at the empty room for a while, then came out, waved to the maid who was sweeping outside, and asked, "When did Madam leave?"
The servants looked at each other for a moment, and one boldly stepped forward and replied: "Before noon, the lady and the clerk took the parcel and went out without saying where they were going."
Li Kun asked again: "Who is escorting the lady?"
A few of them looked at each other again, and they all shook their heads and said they didn't know.
Li Kun didn't bother to question him any more, and hurriedly greeted him and took a pair of people with him, and chased him out of the city like a whirlwind.
Out of the city, there are two roads, one is a shortcut, but it is steep and difficult to walk, and the other is a main road, which is relatively easy to walk.
As a woman, she would naturally choose the high road.
Li Kun immediately led his men to pursue him on the main road, but for the sake of safety, he sent Ping An and two guards to pursue him on the small road.
At this moment, it was already dark, and Li Kun was very anxious. He galloped up his horse and led his troops to chase his wife at lightning speed.
It’s rainy here. Although it’s early winter, it still rains from time to time. Fortunately, the weather was not kind to them today. When they were halfway through the chase, it started to rain again.
The early winter rain was chilling to the bone, but Li Kun felt as if he was fried, and he wished he could catch up with his wife right away.
It was his fault, he should not have sympathized with the green radish.
Even if she was his savior, so what, he owed it to others, and he shouldn't make his wife sad because of it.
His wife is a strong person, and the heartfelt words she said to him yesterday were full of her deep affection for herself.
At first, when he saw that the prince was about to fall into the water and his wife was in a hurry, he subconsciously reached out his hand. He was heartbroken and couldn't let go for a long time. Now, letting his wife watch Qingluo pestering her in every possible way, his wife's heart should be a thousand times more uncomfortable than he was at the beginning.
He shouldn't be soft-hearted towards that Qingluo.
His wife is a high-spirited person. If she really doesn’t forgive him because of this, what should she do?
The winter rain hit his face, and it turned into ice after a while. Li Kun's heart felt like a knife cutting him.
“General, there is a post house in front of you, and your wife should be placed there.”
Unconsciously, Li Kun had led a group of people and chased them for more than a hundred miles. A soldier pointed at a cluster of lights in front of him.
From here to the next city, there is only this inn, so my wife should really stay here.
Li Kun suddenly felt hope in his heart.
He clamped his legs together, and the good horse under his crotch was galloping like lightning, and in an instant he was thrown hundreds of feet away from the rest of the people.
Li Kun is anxious to see his wife.
When he meets his wife later, he will tell her that he will not take Qingluo back to Beijing. Even if she really dies in front of him, he will never do anything that makes his wife unhappy again.
He will never do anything to make his wife uncomfortable in the future.
Li Kun braved the wind and rain and knocked on the door of the post house.
The postman put on his clothes and came out. When he saw the visitor, he knew that he was from Daqi. He was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a smile: "The official wants to stay here."
From the perspective of the Gaoshan Kingdom, Daqi is an enemy that has destroyed the country. However, since the young ruler of the Gaoshan Kingdom came to the throne and the Princess Protector took control of the government, the national strength of the Gaoshan Kingdom has been getting worse year by year, and various corvee taxes and taxes have made the people miserable. It is said that Da Qi has destroyed the royal family. Although everything is still undecided, after the Qi army broke through the city, the first decree issued by the emperor of Da Qi was to exempt the people from taxes.
Whether you are engaged in farming or doing business, you no longer need to pay taxes.
The common people who have been oppressed for more than ten years can suddenly take a breather.
Furthermore, the Qi army was kind to the people and never caused any disturbance.
So, although some forces with different purposes are currently resisting Da Qi, the common people do not have any hostility towards the Qi people.
Li Kun quickly asked the postman: "May I ask the little official, is there a woman who brought someone to stay here today? Where is she?"
The soldier replied: "No one came to stay today."
"How could it be?" As he spoke, Li Kun hurriedly gestured with the **** and whispered: "That woman is as tall as my shoulders, with an oval face and willow eyebrows. She is fair and handsome, and her manners are dignified and generous. By the way, she also wears With a skinny maidservant"
Without waiting for Li Kun to finish Xu Xu's words, the clerk replied: "I have been in the post house all day. No one really came to stay today. Officials, I will not make mistakes in my memory."
