Novel Full Even the Shadow Guardians who came to report the news were held back by Liu Suifeng.
Long Xiaoyuan could do nothing about this.
Liu Suifeng only said, “Do you still want to go see Shi Qingzhou earlier? If yes, take a good rest. If you don’t want to, I’ll call the Shadow Guardians in.”
The corner of Long Xiaoyuan’s mouth twitched, and he finally compromised with Liu Suifeng.
In this way, three days passed.
At noon this day, Liu Suifeng finally said, “King of Three is now at the border between the two countries. He is said to be cornered in a valley by Shi Qingzhou and General Shi Qingshan. Now they are in a stalemate. King of Three and his army attempted to retreat to Northern Barbarians, but Huhe Huangcheng appeared at the border. King of Three is stuck in the valley. However, the troops of Northern Barbarians and Shi Qingshan could not enter the valley which could only accommodate five thousand people. King of Three set up some formation in the valley and designed quite some devices, taking advantage of the terrain. Therefore, it is difficult to storm the valley. Armies from both sides have stormed once, but they suffered huge losses. In the end, they retreated.” Long Xiaoyuan asked, “What about Qingzhou? Where is he now?”
“He is with General Shi Qingshan now.”
“What about Ouyang Chuan? Is there no problem? “Long Xiaoyuan asked again.
Liu Suifeng paused and nodded, “Don’t worry. There’s no problem yet.”
Long Xiaoyuan frowned and looked at him. “Why do you sound weird? What is going on?”
Liu Suifeng shook his head slowly. “Nothing. If you want to go, we can go now.”
Long Xiaoyuan stared at Liu Suifeng, who avoided his eyes.
Long Xiaoyuan grabbed Liu Suifeng’s arms and forced him to look at his face.
Liu Suifeng raised an eyebrow and said with a faint smile, “Don’t do anything that would mislead people. If Shi Qingzhou knows about this, you will get in big trouble.”
Long Xiaoyuan looked at him lightly. “Don’t change the topic. Shi Qingzhou won’t think I cheat on him with others, let alone with you. Tell me. Has anything happened to Ouyang Chuan?”
Liu Suifeng didn’t say anything.
Long Xiaoyuan narrowed his eyes. “Liu Suifeng, don’t let me ask again. You should know that I will know what I want to know sooner or later.”
Long Xiaoyuan stared at Liu Suifeng as if he wanted to see him through.
Liu Suifeng in the end sighed helplessly.
“Alright. Since you want to know, I’ll tell you. When they stormed the valley, Ouyang Chuan went as well and got injured.”
Long Xiaoyuan narrowed his eyes. “More than that, right? Did Qingzhou assign the mission to Ouyang Chuan and ask him to lead the attack?”
“I don’t know the details. All I know is that Ouyang is no pushover and he only does what he wants to do.”
Long Xiaoyuan took a long breath. “Forget it. Let’s not talk about this. Set off now.”
Liu Suifeng nodded. “Although you are recovering after three days of treatment, you can’t slack off.
I will arrange you a comfortable carriage. You have to take a good rest.”
“Come on. You nag too much. Hurry up and go.” Long Xiaoyuan said impatiently as if he couldn’t stand it.
Liu Suifeng rolled his eyes. “I’m doing it for your good, okay? You’re ungrateful.”
Long Xiaoyuan walked outside. “Hurry up.”
Liu Suifeng was urged, but the corners of his mouth curved up, and he hurriedly followed him outside.
He knew that Long Xiaoyuan hastened the journey for him.
After they set off, although Long Xiaoyuan had been asking to speed up along the way, Liu Suifeng refused.
Therefore, it took Long Xiaoyuan two whole days to reach the border from Ronghua City.
Long Xiaoyuan asked to speed up after the journey started, but Liu Suifeng refused.
Therefore, it took Long Xiaoyuan so long to arrive at the border.
After Long Xiaoyuan set off, he didn’t ask the Shadow Guardians to send a message to Shi Qingzhou.
Therefore, Shi Qingzhou did not know that Long Xiaoyuan had woken up and was on the way.
It was dusk when Long Xiaoyuan arrived.
After inquiring about Shi Qingzhou, Long Xiaoyuan went straight to see Shi Qingshan.
That was right. Shi Qingshan was there, and Long Xiaoyuan went to see him first.
Shi Qingshan was excited when he saw Long Xiaoyuan.
He was relieved. He did not want anything to happen to Long Xiaoyuan.
Shi Qingshan had been worried when he heard from his son that Long Xiaoyuan had been unconscious.
Now, he was delighted to see Long Xiaoyuan safe and sound.
Long Xiaoyuan asked Liu Suifeng to go out, and he was alone with Shi Qingshan.
Long Xiaoyuan said directly, “General Shi, I believe you still remember what I told you before.”
“Yes.” Shi Qingshan lowered his head and knelt down on one knee. “I’m sorry. Qingzhou is too stubborn. I tried to stop him and said harshly that he was not qualified to give the order, but he just didn’t listen and issued orders as the Empress. Ouyang Chuan agreed with him without demur, so I couldn’t say anything.”
Long Xiaoyuan helped Shi Qingshan up. “Father, I didn’t mean to blame you. I just feel sorry for Qingzhou. How is he now?
“I dare not lie to you.” Shi Qingshan stood up. “He is not doing well.”
Long Xiaoyuan was startled. “What do you mean?”
Shi Qingshan thought for a while and said. “He misses you. Now that you are fine, Qingzhou will be very happy.”
Long Xiaoyuan understood the problem and smiled. “Father, please make an excuse and ask him to come here.”
Shi Qingshan nodded immediately. “Okay. I’ll go now.”
Shi Qingshan left. Long Xiaoyuan was a little nervous.
He looked forward to seeing Qingzhou again, but for some reason, he was a little scared.
At this moment, he was slightly afraid.
He was afraid that he would not see Qingzhou forever.
In the past, he wasn’t so afraid. However, when he was unconscious, he could only listen to Shi Qingzhou and couldn’t make a sound. When Qingzhou made a decision, he couldn’t support or oppose him, nor could he stop Qingzhou from leaving.
At that time, he finally felt fear.
He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid of the feeling of being unable to touch Qingzhou.
Long Xiaoyuan waited for Shi Qingzhou to come in amidst the uncertain fear.
In his anxiety, the curtain of the tent was finally lifted.
Long Xiaoyuan looked straight over.
He saw Shi Qingzhou.
He paused for a moment.
Qingzhou widened his eyes in shock.
At this moment, Long Xiaoyuan calmed down.
With a smile on his lips, Long Xiaoyuan got up and walked to Shi Qingzhou.
Dazed, Shi Qingzhou watched Long Xiaoyuan walk towards him.
Long Xiaoyuan took every step slowly, but Shi Qingzhou felt like he was dreaming.
Even though Long Xiaoyuan was in front of him now, Shi Qingzhou felt unreal.
Long Xiaoyuan finally walked up to Shi Qingzhou.
He reached out and pulled Shi Qingzhou in his arms.
When his palms touched the familiar and warm body, Shi Qingzhou started to feel real.
Long Xiaoyuan whispered in Shi Qingzhou’s ear, “Sorry. I didn’t take good care of myself. I’m sorry.”
Shi Qingzhou closed his eyes and asked in a hoarse voice, “How long have you been awake?”
“Five days. I want to give you a surprise. It took Liu Suifeng three days to treat me and two days for us to come here. I wanted to inform you earlier, but I wanted to tell you this personally. Qingzhou, I’m sorry. I worried you this time.”
Long Xiaoyuan’s every single word bombarded Shi Qingzhou’s ears like thunderbolts.
Shi Qingzhou felt a little resentful with his apology, but he felt more pain.
“Since you feel sorry, why…?”
Long Xiaoyuan hugged Shi Qingzhou tightly. “I’m sorry.”
Shi Qingzhou closed his eyes. “It’s my fault, I shouldn’t have left you. It’s always my fault. I made the same mistake several times.” Long Xiaoyuan abruptly hugged Shi Qingzhou tighter, saying, “Qingzhou, don’t say that. How could it be your fault? It is my fault, I made you worry. I was too careless.”
Shi Qingzhou closed his eyes in silence.
Long Xiaoyuan loosened Shi Qingzhou a little and looked at his face.
Shi Qingzhou opened his dark eyes, which wrung Long Xiaoyuan’s heart.
“Qingzhou.”
