Rise in the glory of the king system

Chapter 697 Toast
"Brother Xingjian, rabbits are so cute, why do you eat them?"

Baili Xingjian looked helplessly at the teary girl in front of him, then looked down at the rabbit he had just caught in a trap, and sighed.

"Alright, Ah Li, I'll just let it go." After saying that, he gently put the rabbit on the ground, letting it hop away quickly.

Seeing this scene, Li just burst into tears and smiled, hugged Baili Xingjian, "Brother Xingjian is the best." He also stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the face.

A blush appeared on Xingjian's face, and he hugged her to prevent her from falling.But the heart is helpless mixed with pain.Although I don't dislike eating vegetables, but after all, as a wolf demon hybrid, I can't live without meat for a few days, right?It's a pity that since he took in A Li, a half-breed rabbit, he has completely cut himself off from the flesh.Every time he catches prey, Xing Jian has to be attacked by A Li's tears and then he is defeated and obediently let go.

——“I am a wolf, I am a wolf! Why do you eat vegetables every day?”—Despite thinking like this, Xing Jian reluctantly went into the kitchen to cook vegetables.Li, on the other hand, sat at the dining table and looked at Xingjian's busy back with his little head on his hands.

After a rich (for Li) dinner, the two cleared the table together. "Brother Xingjian, haven't you found brother Xuan Ce yet?"

"Not yet." Thinking of this, Xing Jian couldn't help feeling a little downcast.In the past few days, he went out to look for his younger brother, but they all returned without success.

"Don't worry, brother Xingjian, brother Xuance will be fine." Li comforted Xingjian.

"En." Xingjian nodded, gently holding the wooden carving hanging around his neck with his right hand.

"Li, your injury is almost healed."

"Hmm..." Hearing Xingjian's question, Li Weiwei was taken aback for a moment, and then answered in a low voice.

"I'm planning to go to Chang'an tomorrow. I'm afraid Xuan Ce is no longer in the Great Wall area. You can go with me." After Xing Jian finished speaking, he sighed softly.

------not long ago------

"You're leaving for Chang'an?" Although Su Lie expected it, he couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard Xingjian's request.

"Well, I must find my younger brother." Xing Jian's eyes were extremely determined, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart.After all, since the death of their parents, Su Lie has been taking care of their brothers, just like a father.If he disagrees, he can't leave directly.

"Is that so..." Su Lie pondered, as if thinking of something.But this action made Xing Jian even more uneasy, the wolf ears on the top of his head trembled uneasily, and he had already started planning what he would do if he was rejected.

"Okay." To Xing Jian's surprise, Su Lie just paused for a while, and agreed to Xing Jian's request.Facing Xingjian's surprised expression, Su Lie actually smiled.

"Even if I don't agree, you will have other plans." Xingjian's face suddenly became embarrassed, and he scratched his ears in embarrassment, and Su Lie also smiled.

"Your temper is similar to Xun Zhen." Recalling the adjutant he had sacrificed, the image in his mind overlapped with the boy in front of him. ——“As expected of a hundred miles of blood, this sense of responsibility is exactly the same.”—I admired in my heart, walking towards the cabinet.

Su Lie opened the drawer and took out a bag of parcels. "I have some silver here, and you can take the cloak in the closet. Although Chang'an does not reject demon seeds, there are still people who discriminate against them. It is safer to bring a cloak."

"Thank you, Uncle Su! By the way, that..." After receiving the package, Xing Jian asked as if thinking of something.

"Can I take two cloaks?"

"Huh?" Su Lie raised his head, looking at Xingjian with some doubts.

"I plan to take Li with me and help her find a place to live." Xing Jian looked at Su Lie and expressed his thoughts.

"That little girl you brought back? That's it... That's up to you." Su Lie waved his hand, signaling Xingjian to go back.

"Thank you, Uncle Su." After Xing Jian bowed to Su Lie, he turned and left Su Lie's command post.

Watching Xingjian leave, Su Lie sighed softly.He knew that this incident would involve the future of the Great Wall Guards into the power vortex of Chang'an, and as a representative who advocated open borders, he would definitely become the target of attacks by those high-ranking officials.At that time, I will be powerless to protect him.

- "I hope Huaiying can protect him well." - Su Lie could only pray silently in his heart.
