Chapter 29
To be honest, if Zhan Shaoning hadn't called him, Yuan Li really wouldn't have recognized that this was Zhan Shaoning.
This group of people all looked dusty and dirty, and the war horses under their crotches were already covered with dirt and mud. Everyone's face was exhausted, and even Zhan Shaoning had lost a lot of weight.
Yuan Li couldn't believe his eyes. How could he see Zhan Shaoning in Youzhou?
Zhan Shaoning rushed all the way to the gate of the Chu Palace, and he had already slipped off the horse before the horse stopped. His heart was extremely excited, and the excitement of seeing his classmates almost made him cry. But just after taking a step forward, Zhan Shaoning stopped and became uneasy.
Yuanli was dressed in brocade clothes, while he looked like a beggar, which made Zhan Shaoning a little afraid to move forward.
He didn't know how Yuanli would treat him.
"Yuanli..." Zhan Shaoning looked anxious, holding the reins tightly in his hands, as if he was ready to get on the horse and escape at any time. He was disheveled, his beard had grown a lot, and his clothes had many holes. The look in Yuanli's eyes contained pleading expectation and vigilance.
The counselor Xiao Ce behind him stared at Yuanli's every move, and his hand calmly grasped the big knife at his waist.
Seeing Zhan Shaoning like a frightened bird, Yuanli felt a pang in his heart. He smiled, walked quickly to Zhan Shaoning, opened his arms, and hugged him tightly, "Shaoning, long time no see, I have been worried about you for a long time!"
Zhan Shaoning smelled bad, almost nauseating in the hot weather. But Yuanli did not dislike it at all, he hugged Zhan Shaoning tightly, and patted Zhan Shaoning's back heavily.
Zhan Shaoning coughed a few times because of the beating, but his heart suddenly settled down. He sniffed, and the grievances and hardships along the way almost instantly flushed his eyes, "Yuanli... I, I want to come to you. Are you willing to take me in?"
"Need I say that?" Yuanli let go of Zhan Shaoning, his bright eyes full of smiles, without any rejection or indifference, and still pulled him to the mansion as intimately as before, "Come on, settle these troops of Brother Shaoning, feed the horses well, and everyone has a good rest. Don't be restrained here!"
As he said, he smiled and looked back at Zhan Shaoning, blinked mischievously, and teased: "Shaoning, in order to get the sand table you want from me, you really went through a lot of hardships and ran thousands of miles to chase me."
Zhan Shaoning's throat was blocked, knowing that Yuanli was doing it to save his face. Along the way, there were almost no such kindnesses. And because of the scarcity, Zhan Shaoning almost couldn't hold back his emotions at this moment. He paused for a while before replying in a hoarse voice: "Isn't it? For this sand table of yours, even if you run to the Xianbei outside the Great Wall, I will chase you!"
Yuanli laughed, and the two young men walked away side by side.
Behind him, Liu Jixin, who had been standing by the gate of the mansion for a long time, walked to Xiao Ce with a smile, "Limou, we haven't seen each
other for a long time." Xiao Ce didn't expect to see Liu Jixin here. He was a little surprised and bowed to Liu Jixin, "Changyue, I really didn't expect to meet you here. It turns out that you left the lord to follow the new master to Youzhou."
Liu Jixin laughed twice, "When I followed my master, my master had not come to Youzhou yet. It is really an unexpected fate to meet you in Youzhou."
Xiao Ce was surprised. Did Liu Jixin recognize his master?
