Ding Si rushed back to the capital night and day and went straight to the Zhou residence.

When Li Yu heard the news from Ding Si, she finally understood why she had been uneasy these days. She was even more worried that Li Qing would be harmed by the bandits hiding in Le County.

After sending Ding Si off, Li Yu immediately got someone to call Zhou Jia back from the government office. She began to pack her luggage and prepared to rush to Le County.

After Zhou Jia returned to the residence and heard the news that Ding Si brought back, he was also worried.

He was worried about Li Yu going to Le County to see Li Qing, but he couldn’t stop her.

Seeing Zhou Jia looking at her worriedly, Li Yu went forward and hugged him.

She said gently, “Xiao Xi, don’t worry. Ah Qing has just arrived in Le County. They won’t attack so quickly. If I don’t go and something happens to Ah Qing, I won’t be at ease for the rest of my life. Wait for me at home. I’ll definitely come back safely. ”

Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu and hugged her tightly. He said reluctantly, “Go! I’ll go to Sir’s place to get you some pills. Bring Ruyi and Ji Xiang along. You can take care of each other if you go together.”

Li Yu said softly, “Alright, I’ll bring them along.”

An hour later, Li Yu brought Ruyi and Ji Xiang out of the city and sped toward Le County.

On the way to Le County, Li Qing’s family encountered heavy rain and were delayed in a small town for a few days. At dusk in late March, they finally arrived at Le County.

The convoy entered the city from the east city gate of Le County. Li Qing, Liang Cheng, and the others rode horses and saw that the streets were relatively clean and neat, but the pedestrians on the streets were sparse. The shops on both sides also looked cold and cheerless.

Grandmaster Lin Su said to Li Qing, “County Lord, this Le County looks a little deserted!”

Li Qing nodded and said, “It might be because it’s dusk. The vendors have all packed up and gone home.”

Lin Su looked at the hurried pedestrians on the street. “That might be the reason. ”

When the convoy arrived outside the county office, the two bailiffs at the entrance shouted at them, “Hurry up and leave. This is the entrance of the county office. It’s not a place you should come to.”

Lin Su went forward and said to him, “Our master is the newly appointed county magistrate of Le County. Who is in charge?”

When the bailiff heard the private advisor’s words, he immediately changed his expression and smiled obsequiously. “Sir, please forgive me. I failed to recognize a formidable person. I’ll invite County Magistrate Wang over now.”

The bailiffs left behind looked at the carriages and the scars on Liang Cheng’s face, as well as Hu Zhong and the others’ murderous expressions. They shrank back behind the door in fear.

Li Qing looked at the entrance of the county office. The mountain shape of the Le County office in front of him looked even more majestic than the Lin County office in the capital. There were a few gilded words on the lintel.

At this moment, a middle-aged man with a medium build, ordinary looks, and a ruddy face walked out of the government office. He had a gentle smile on his fair and fat face, and his eyes were shining.

County Governor Wang smiled and bowed to Li Qing. “Greetings, County Lord.”

“Lord Wang, there’s no need to stand on ceremony.” Li Qing smiled and helped him up. He smiled and asked in a probing tone, “I wonder if Lord Liu is still in the county office?”

County Magistrate Wang sighed and said, “Lord Liu has been lying on the bed for many days. When he learned that you were here, he has already moved from the county office to the inn behind the county office to stay. After you hand over the position, Lord Liu will set off for the countryside to recuperate.” Li looked guilty. “It’s all my fault for being delayed on the way.”

Wang Ping said sincerely, “Lord Li, you’re thinking too much. Lord Liu has been sick since he took office for a year. He’s been looking for doctors and medicine for the past two years. He’s also in a hurry to go back to see a doctor. Lord Li, are these all your carriages? I’ll get someone to help you pull them into the back hall. ”

Li Qing shook his head. “There’s no need to call anyone. Just someone to lead the way.”

“Yes, sir.” Wang Ping cupped his hands at Li Qing and turned to the bailiff at the door. “Hou Wen, come and lead the way for Lord Li.”

A bailiff called Hou Wen hurriedly ran over and bowed to the two of them with a smile. “Yes, Lord Li. Please follow me.”

Hou Wen led Li Qing and the others into the county office.

The county office had three courtyards. They passed through the middle corridor and entered the second hall. Then, they passed through the second hall and arrived at the back hall. The east and west courtyards were on both sides of the back hall. Beyond that was where the families lived.

Hou Wen smiled and said to Li Qing, “Lord Li, I’ll go out first. If there’s anything, get someone to call me from the front office.”

Li Qing nodded and said, “Okay.”

After Ah Lei stuffed him with a pouch, Hou Wen felt the hardness inside and retreated with a smile.

Fan Mingfang carried Dongdong out of the carriage and instructed the servants she had brought, “Granny Yun, Nanny, Xiaonong, clean up the room. Granny Yang, Granny Lin, carry the bedding into the house.”

The few of them replied in unison, “Yes, Madam.”

Old Madam Yang and Old Madam Lin moved the bedding from the cart.

Granny Yun, Nanny Xu, and the servant girl, Xiao Qiong, were busy entering the house to check.

Liang Cheng, Ding Yi, and a few escorts carried the large luggage into the house.

Granny Yun and the others walked into the house and saw that it was clean. Even the window paper had been changed.

They scrubbed the room before carrying the things into the house one by one and placing them neatly.

Hou Wen took the pouch and returned to the front office happily. He waved it in front of his colleague, who was leaning against the porch pillar. “Brother Wang Zhi, I’ll treat you to a drink tonight.”

Wang Zhi looked at the pouch in Hou Wen’s hand enviously. “You’re quite lucky! It’s obvious that Lord Li has a background. Look at the horses, the big green mule cart, and the men accompanying them. All of them are murderous.”

Hou Wen nodded. “This county magistrate looks much more energetic than Lord Liu. We’ve never seen such a good-looking person in Le County. He’s even more handsome than those girls.”

The two of them were chatting happily and didn’t see Wang Ping walk behind them. Wang Ping patted Hou Wen’s shoulder. “Go to the inn at the back and tell

Lord Liu that Lord Li is here.”

“Yes, sir.” Hou Wen smiled ingratiatingly and retreated.

Wang Ping glanced at Wang Zhi. “Go to the second hall and see if those old women are back. If they’re not, go to the house and call them to come to work quickly.”

“Yes, Master.” Wang Zhi hurriedly walked towards the second hall.

Li Qing took Dongdong from Fan Mingfang’s arms. Seeing Dongdong’s tired look, he touched his forehead and said gently, “Son, we’re here. Look, this is where we’ll live in the future.”

Dongdong wrapped his arms around Li Qing’s neck and said softly, “Father, I don’t want to be here. I want to play with Brother Yueyue and Brother Xingxing.”

Li Qing laughed. “Silly child, your brothers are in the capital! We’ve already traveled a long, long way. We’ll be here for a long time before going back.” ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novelenglish.net . (f)ire

Dongdong twisted around. “I don’t want to! I want to go home. I want to look for my brothers!”

Fan Mingfang went forward and carried him back. She coaxed him softly, “Dongdong is an obedient baby. Daddy is very tired. Mother will bring you into the house to sleep..”
