King and General untie their battle robes

Ruan Xi's words were not very tactful, so direct that it almost mixed with willful elements.After hearing this, Bian Youli stood up anxiously: "Then Jiang Yan is not missing now, so don't you worry?"

Probably out of self-blame for failing to keep his promise to bring Jiang Yan back safely, Bian Youli couldn't hold back his anxiety at this moment.He only wanted to find him back, so he didn't bother to investigate whether Ruan Xi's blurted words contained any other meanings.

After hearing what he said, Ruan Xi lowered his eyes and remained silent for a moment, then turned his eyes away and stopped looking at him: "You must be tired after driving day and night. Linghua Palace is cleaned up every day, go and have a rest first."

Bian Youli frowned, and wanted to say more, but when he looked up, he saw Ruan Xi rubbing the corners of his eyes inadvertently, a trace of fatigue appeared on his face.

This smear of exhaustion made Bian Youli suddenly realize that Jiang Yan's disappearance was nothing more than a setback in his work for him, but for Ruan Xi, it was his free companion who disappeared without a trace. He must be more uncomfortable than himself.

Thinking of this level, Bian Youli paused, tried his best to stop what he hadn't said, and replaced it with a short answer: "Okay."

During the journey back to Qiongning from the border, Bian Youli and Ming Chashi worked day and night, as long as they could still walk, they would never stop. Now that they arrived at the palace, after seeing Ruan Xi, the exhaustion of suppressing all the way suddenly surfaced.

In addition, knowing that Jiang Yan can still write letters, Bian You's heart loosened a little, and he felt even more tired immediately.

Since Ruan Xi told him to rest, Bian Youli felt that it was useless to stay here, so he went to Linghua Hall to rest.

After Bian Youli left, Yuan He came in from the door and saw Ruan Xi looking forward as if he was emptied, with his chin resting on one hand, and the other unconsciously flipping over the memorial.

It seems that he is facing a dilemma and has no clue.

"Kings?"

Ruan Xi turned his gaze blankly: "Yuan He, are you here?"

Yuan He nodded, and saluted slightly: "What's the matter, Your Majesty, but there is something wrong, do you want to call Qin Zhangsi?"

Ruan Xi blinked, as if unable to understand the meaning of this sentence.After a while, he suddenly realized that he was absent-minded, shook his head vigorously, and forced himself to adjust his consciousness a little bit: "No need, what did the master say?"

When something happened to Jiang Yan, Ruan Xi was naturally worried, but because he had no way to contact him, he could only send Yuan He to Taifu's mansion to inquire about the situation from time to time.

This time too, Yuan He was sent to the Taifu Mansion by him early in the morning, and he just came back now.

Yuan He: "The Tai Tuo still said that there is no news, so don't worry, and besides..." She hesitated for a moment, until Ruan Xi urged, and then slowly continued: "The Tai Tuo said, the last time you went out with Mr. Jiang, the incident The matter is not over yet, please serve some snacks."

"Last time..." Ruan Xi gave her a puzzled look, and suddenly understood.He immediately sat upright, seemed to have something to say, but stopped again, and continued to stay without saying a word.

Ruan Xi naturally understood what Tai Fu said it meant.But going out that time was already an adventure, and I finally found an excuse to fool the past, even if I want to do something now, so what?

You can't run away without saying a word, leaving Guozuo Minsheng behind, and the faint king didn't do that either.

Anyway, I have to find a reason. It can be said that such a thing as disappearing for no reason once is willful. If there are too many times, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.

—— Ruan Xi thought about it, and suddenly thought of a possibility.

He thought of Jiang Yan's disappearance.

This guess is too powerful. Once sprouted, the energy is so great that it seems to be able to ignite the reason. Ruan Xi slowly turned his head to look at Yuan He: "Teacher, what else did you say?"

Although the master's reaction was not normal, Yuan He remained calm as before, and said respectfully: "Teacher didn't say anything else."

Say nothing else.

Ruan Xi clenched his fist violently, and the top corner of the memorial was tightly clenched, extruding a few marks of bared teeth.But he basically affirmed his guess in his heart, and he didn't need to say anything, and he didn't need to say a word.

The silence at this time is already the clearest explanation.

Yuan He stood with her head down, without any other reaction, as if all her value was to wait for Ruan Xi's next order.

It doesn't matter whether she knows or doesn't know about the situation in front of her.

After a long silence, Ruan Xi finally looked at Yuan He: "You go to Linghua Hall to guard, and when General Bian wakes up, bring him to see Gu."

Yuan He quietly agreed and stepped back without asking any more questions.Although no one lives in the Linghua Palace, and the positions of the important palace staff are not fixed, cleaning and other tasks have never been neglected.Yuan He often brought people to clean up, so after entering the hall, he changed the fragrant cakes in the hall familiarly, poured out the tea on the table and replaced them with new ones, and then waited outside the door.

The fragrance gradually lingered, and there was a trace of leisurely warmth in the hall that had been empty for a long time.

There was no one else in the palace, Yuan He looked at the palace without people, and thought for no reason: Even if you light incense, this scent is not very useful.

Even if there is no dust on the shelves on the ground, the tables and chairs are neat and orderly, but looking at this place like this, there is a great sense of panic coming out of thin air.

There is no other reason, but simply because of emptiness, even if the Huadian is full of prosperity and splendor, there is always a barren emptiness.

Yuan He was bored, and there was no one around, so she slightly relaxed her usual tense spirit, and thought about many things wildly. In the end, she thought——I don't know when, Ling Huadian will have some fireworks in the world angry?

This question is boring and unsolvable. First of all, whether there is fireworks in Linghua Palace has nothing to do with me as a servant; secondly, Linghua Palace has never lived in people before, because it is too close to the king's bedroom, not everyone has it. qualifications to come in, and now, someone has finally moved in, and he is still a person who has a secluded world of seclusion.

But Yuan He was really bored, she was so busy on weekdays, it was rare to have such an opportunity to be lazy, so she even thought about this question for a long time while staying in Linghua Hall.

It's just a conclusion but I don't know how.

When night fell, there was still no movement from Bian Youli.Yuan He called a few people from outside and told them to prepare the next meal and keep it warm until General Bian woke up.The little girl who came to pass the order from the kitchen was a new young palace official, there were no restrictions, and she was free to come and go. Seeing that Yuan He hadn't eaten, she brought her some cakes and some dishes from the kitchen.

Yuan He felt that it was too impolite for him to eat in Linghua Palace, so he politely declined the little girl's kindness.But the little girl was also stubborn, she put the things directly on the table, turned around and ran away.

This bit of food was placed abruptly on the table, it looked like it was the only mundane thing in Linghua Palace.Yuan He thought of his unreasonable thoughts just now, smiled unconsciously, took a bite of the cake, put aside unnecessary thoughts and waited slowly.

It can be regarded as adding a bit of popularity to Ling Huadian.

After all, it may be a long time before the owner of this place comes to warm him up.

Ever since Bian Youli arrived in Luo Kingdom, he has instinctively tensed up, and has to check his surroundings for threats from time to time. It is difficult to maintain this state for a long time, but he has been trying his best.

In addition, the journey back was full of wind and dust, and he didn't dare to stop, so he might be too tired. After this rest, he didn't wake up slowly until Haishi.

Yuan He devoted himself to his duties in Linghua Hall and waited for him to wake up, immediately relayed Ruan Xi's words, and brought him to Changtai Hall.

Bian Youli didn't know what Ruan Xi wanted him to do, and hurriedly felt that in Changtai Hall, he was still wearing the white robe he wore when he slept with his clothes on, and there were some wrinkles left because he didn't care to tidy it up.

Fortunately, the material of the clothes is relatively high-end, and he himself looks good, so he won't look embarrassed.

After arriving at the Changtai Hall, Yuan He stopped at the door consciously, and Bian Youli went inside to find Ruan Xi: "Ze'an, what's the matter?"

Ruan Xi got down from the chair, tidied his clothes, then faced him hesitating to speak, as if hesitating.

"What's wrong?" Bian Youli asked again.He just woke up, washed his face hastily, and followed Yuan He, his eyes still a little hazy, even more blurred under the lights in the room.

People can't help but think of the astonishing trance when they saw him for the first time.

Ruan Xi still didn't speak, and concentrated on arranging his clothes. When his hand inadvertently moved to the sword at his waist, he stopped his movements and stared at the sword intently.

There is a rule in the palace that you are not allowed to bring weapons into the palace. In this world, the only weapon that can enter and leave the palace freely is Yu Shijian.

This is a treasured sword that has been handed down in the royal family. The person who is given this sword means that he has supreme power in the royal city, and no one is qualified to stop it as a guard in the palace.And after the death of each generation of kings, the sword will be returned to the new king by the person holding the sword, and then wait for the next owner.

In the past, Ruan Xi planned to leave this sword to Jiang Yan, because he felt that his bond with Jiang Yan was comparable to brotherhood, and as long as there was an opportunity, he would definitely entrust this sword.

However, since when, many things have changed uncontrollably.

The accident came inexplicably and without warning, and when the person concerned reacted, he realized that the degree was too deep, the distance was too far, too deep to be reversed, and too far to be defied.

Ruan Xi sighed secretly in his heart, and then heard his own voice: "Aren't you going to find Jiang Yan, I'll be with you."

"What?" Bian Youli didn't know anything about Ruan Xi's inner activities, and immediately expressed surprise when he heard this, "How can you be with me?"

"Why not?"

Bian Youli frowned: "If I want to find Jiang Yan, I must stay away from Qiong Ning. Maybe I have to take people to fight. There are dangers everywhere. How can I take care of you?"

The implication is that the road will not be peaceful, and I can't take care of you if you make any trouble.

The reason for this dislike was so frank, Ruan Xi couldn't help but smile helplessly: "Don't worry about it, I'm not a frail scholar, will I be blown down by the wind when I go to the battlefield?"

"Not right," Bian Youli thought for a while, but still felt bad, and continued to refuse, "Now you don't even know where Jiang Yan is, if you leave the palace rashly, who knows what will happen?"

Although no danger was seen, there was no one in the palace. If something happened, there would be no chance of recovery.It is true that Bian Youli has never experienced ups and downs in the officialdom, but luckily he does not lack such common sense.

A trace of almost imperceptible emotion flashed in Ruan Xi's eyes, and his tone seemed to have some deep meaning: "Whatever it is, it doesn't matter where I am, what should be parried, and it won't change just because I leave the palace."

Bian Youli looked at him as if he was determined, and he didn't understand, but he couldn't persuade him. After thinking carefully for a while, he finally found a breakthrough: "Then should you ask the Tai Tuo before making a decision?"

From Bian Youli's point of view, people like Zhang Taifu would not allow the king of a country to leave the palace at will.And Ruan Xi has always respected the Grand Tutor, so he can't persuade him, Ruan Xi should listen to the Tai Tutor's opinion.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Ruan Xi just nodded in agreement, and called Yuan He outside: "Yuan He, make another trip and tell the Taifu that Gu decided to leave the palace with General Bian to find Jiang Yan." The whereabouts of the palace, please take care of him."

Yuan He quickly agreed, and then said: "The general has rested until just now, and he hasn't eaten yet. The servants have already prepared meals and sent them to Linghua Palace. General, don't forget to eat."

Ruan Xi praised: "Thank you for your hard work, I will accompany the general when I am alone."

When Yuan He's figure disappeared from the hall, Bian Youli looked at Ruan Xi hesitantly: "Do you think the Grand Tutor will not oppose you?"

Looking at him like this, he is confident, as if there is no possibility of being rejected at all.

But it doesn't make sense.

Ruan Xi nodded straightforwardly: "Teacher will definitely not stop me."

"Are you sure? There must be a reason."

"Sure," Ruan Xi said with a smile, "don't worry about the reason, just wait and see the result, if you're hungry or not, I'll go get something to eat with you."
