Chapter 865

Li Qingyan thought of Yun Changsheng.

Yun Changsheng was supposed to be sent to the army. It is reasonable to say that he is a prisoner of the imperial court, and harbouring imperial criminals is a great crime.

But the people of Dafu stronghold don't care at all.

They not only let Yun Changsheng stay, but also let Yun Changsheng marry and have children here for decades.

Li Qingyan thought of himself again.

After he was rescued, the people in the stronghold neither asked him why he was injured nor where he came from.

Originally, he thought that the people in the stockade were too kind and had no sense of precaution. Now it seems that people don't care about his identity at all. Even if he is a murderer, people will still be very enthusiastic about him.

It's a terrible thought.

Li Qingyan felt that this place could not stay long.

He wants to go on.

Yun Kexin grabbed his sleeve.

Li Qingyan looked back at her and hesitated for a moment to tell her the truth.

"I'm not an ordinary person. I still have important things to do. I have to leave here as soon as possible. Can you help me?"

Yun Kexin opened his eyes slightly.

She thought he would stay forever like her father.

I didn't expect him to leave.

A strong feeling of loss surged into my heart.

She pursed her lower lip, let go of his sleeve and wrote on the small blackboard: can you stay?

Li said softly and shook his head: "no, I was attacked by bad people before. Some people paid their lives to save me. If I stay here and don't go back, I'll live up to the sacrifices of those people."

He paused, looked sideways at the small bones floating in the black mud, and his voice became more and more low.

"When I go back, I will try my best to improve the law and prevent such tragedies from happening again."

Yunkexin also looked at the bones.

She was stunned for a moment. When she was about to say something, she heard footsteps not far away, followed by the cry of a man.

"Yes, Mr. Li!"

Li Qingyan and Yun Kexin followed the prestige and saw three men coming here not far away.

Those three are all from the stockade.

They stepped up to Yun Kexin and Li Qingyan.

One of them quickly said, "just now someone saw you coming this way. We didn't believe it, but we were afraid that you might have an accident in the woods. We specially came in to have a look. Unexpectedly, you were really here."

Another man then said, "what are you doing here? Go back, go back."

Li Qingyan knew he couldn't go today, so he had to follow them back.

Before leaving, he took a final look at the bones floating in the black mud.

The party returned to the stockade.

Because Li Qingyan went to the wrong place, he was taken to the stronghold leader's house.

The stronghold leader is a kind old man.

First, he taught Li a lesson and told him not to run into the woods. It's not a good place.

Then he changed his smile and asked kindly.

"When are you going to do your favorite things?"

Li Qingyan didn't know, so: "what happened to miss Yun and me?"

Old stronghold leader: "aren't you going to get married?"

Li was surprised and immediately denied: "there's nothing wrong. Miss Yun and I are innocent."

The old stronghold leader frowned: "don't you like Kexin? Although Kexin can't speak, she is good-looking, clever and capable, and can read and write. Many boys in the stronghold want to marry her. Why don't you like her?"

Li said softly and hurriedly: "I don't despise Miss Yun. Miss Yun is very good. I don't deserve her."

The task of supervising the tax reform is still waiting for him to complete. The mountain bandits who attacked him have not been caught. He still has a lot of things to do. How can he have time to get married?!

The old stronghold leader smiled again when he heard the speech: "it's good if you don't look down on it. You don't have to be modest. You're born with a talent. You're still a scholar. It's a good match for Kexin."

Li said lightly: "it's not the case. I'm really not in the mood to talk about this kind of thing now. Otherwise, you let me leave Dafu stronghold for a period of time. When I go back and finish all the things I should do, I'll come back and propose marriage to Kexin, okay?"

To be fair, he is very fond of Yun Kexin.

Although the girl can't speak, she has a pure temperament and is a very good woman.

And she saved his life.

He is willing to marry her home and take good care of her all his life.

But now is really not the time to talk about these things.

The old stronghold leader's smile faded away: "if you come here, you can't go back."

Li said softly and looked slightly changed: "what do you mean?"

The old stronghold leader is not ill.

"You should have heard Kexin talk about Dafu stronghold?

We don't need to pay taxes, military service and corvee here. We live happily here.

But if you leave here, the existence of Dafu stronghold will be exposed.

When the court knows this, we have to go back to the old life of chasing dogs.

We should hand over all the grain we have worked hard to grow.

He was weighed down by heavy taxes all day.

The born child can't feed, so he can only strangle.

The men in the family were taken to military service and corvee service, and the result was gone forever

We don't want to go back to the old life, so you can't go.

No one who comes here can go. "

Li said lightly: "I can assure you that after I go out, I will never report you to the government. The imperial court will not know your existence. You can continue to live your life at ease."

Old stronghold leader: "but aren't you an official of the imperial court?"

Li Qingyan was stunned.

He never showed his identity. How did the old stronghold leader know?

The old stronghold leader seemed to see his doubts and slowly explained, "I've seen the seal you took with you. It's only the seal of imperial officials."

Li Qingyan subconsciously touched the purse around his waist.

Since the other party already knows his identity, he doesn't have to hide it.

He said in a deep voice, "it's a great crime to detain imperial court officials without authorization. You shouldn't be like causing trouble?"

Old stronghold leader: "it's isolated from the world. No one knows you're hiding in Dafu stronghold."

"Someone will come to me," said Li lightly

The old stronghold leader said, "they have to find it here."

Li whispered and clenched his teeth: "what if I have to leave here?"

The old stronghold leader said expressionless, "you have only two ways. Either stay with us or die."

"Dare you kill the imperial court officials?" said Li lightly

The old stronghold leader smiled: "to tell you the truth, there are several fugitives in our stronghold. Some of them have killed people, and they are still the imperial court officials."

The face of Li Qingyan was completely cold: "do you even dare to take in such people?"

Old stronghold leader: "he killed a dog official who didn't do anything. The dog official humiliated his wife and daughter and deserved his death."

……

In order to prevent my foreshadowing from being ignored by you again, I decided to knock on the blackboard here.

Dafu stronghold is a very important foreshadowing, which will lead to a hidden boss in the later stage.

Besides, I don't have water word count.

The reason why you think the plot is developing slowly is that I am promoting three plot lines at the same time.

Why should I write three plot lines at the same time?

Probably because I live too comfortably. I want to challenge myself (commonly known as death) and light cigarettes. Jpg
