King and General untie their battle robes

"Where did Yuan He go?" Bian Youli supported Ruan Xi, noticing that he was a little unsteady on his feet, so he couldn't help asking.

With Yuan He's stable temperament, it was a little strange that he would not be by Ruan Xi's side under such circumstances.

Ruan Xi raised his hand and rubbed his head, as if he wasn't feeling well: "I'll ask her to send the Grand Tutor back, and take a look at Jiang Yan's situation."

Bian Youli frowned and said, "Then you've been drinking here until now?"

It should have been a while since the palace banquet ended, and the moon was hanging high in the sky. It was so late, and the night wind was of course extremely cold.Ruan Xi stayed outside for so long and even drank, it was simply nonsense.

Facing Bian Youli's slightly reproachful reaction, Ruan Xi could no longer understand the meaning of his words, he just hummed casually, then turned his head suddenly, not knowing what to look at, and then looked at another place.He just changed his gaze, as curious as if he had never been to Linghua Palace.

This look, obviously drunk.Although I don't know why he was fine just now, but he became so drunk in the blink of an eye.But Bian Youli didn't have time to study carefully, while holding Ruan Xi's hand, he hugged him loosely to stabilize his figure.

Although it is very lively tonight, there are many things to do, which makes people feel sleepy.But it was late after all, and Ruan Xi was drunk again, logically he should go to bed.Even if Bian Youli didn't want to rest, he couldn't stop Ruan Xi from resting.

However, looking at the current situation, it seems that it is not easy to send Ruan Xi back to the bedroom.

Bian Youli thought for a while, then asked Ruan Xi, "Yuan He is not here, no one else in your palace has been close to him, why not... you can rest in Linghua Palace first, and wait for Yuan He to come back?"

To be honest, besides Yuan He, Bian Youli was worried about letting others take care of Ruan Xi.But it's really worthless for him to ask this question, after all, Ruan Xi may not even be able to say yes and no clearly now.

"Okay." Sure enough, Ruan Xi nodded obediently, with the expression of a little child.But in an instant, he changed his appearance and suddenly grabbed Bian Youli tightly: "Fu Qing, where have you been?"

"Ah?" Bian Youli was taken aback by his question, and said blankly, "I'm not here?"

Ruan Xi showed a trace of grievance: "Nonsense, I have been waiting for you for a long time, but you are not here."

Probably when people are drunk, they will always show some reactions that are different from the usual ones. They may be in the mind that cannot be revealed normally, or it may be simply different from usual.Anyway, Bian Youli had never met Ruan Xi who was drunk, and he had never seen such a behavior with many vivid emotions.

The rarer it is, the harder it is to parry.

Bian Youli felt guilty for a while, and quickly thought about the question just now, and realized that Ruan Xi was actually asking himself where he went after leaving the palace banquet.

At that time, he dragged his brother away without even saying a word, but he didn't expect that Ruan Xi would wait in Linghua Palace until he came back, and drink like this.

I should have said it, but it was a pity that I couldn't care about it at that time.

Bian Youli pulled Ruan Xi to move slowly: "I went outside the city."

Ruan Xi was supported by him to walk into the hall in a daze, and repeated: "You went outside the city."

"Ah."

"You and... Luo Feng?"

Bian Youli nodded: "Well, I'll take him to see Master."

At the same time, it is also to find a place where no one is disturbed, and ask the countless questions buried in my heart.

Ruan Xi seemed very puzzled: "Aren't you... angry with him?"

"Yeah," Bian Youli finally brought him to the inner hall, led him to the bed, tucked him into the quilt and lay down, "but I'm not angry now."

Tonight, he dragged his senior brother away from the palace banquet, used Qinggong all the way to the outside of the city, and arrived at the place where the master was buried before.

Naturally, there would not be any bright lights in the remote wilderness. They came out in a hurry and did not bring a fire recorder. They could only rely on the moonlight, starlight and the waves of the river to barely see things.

The flowing water is gurgling, the cool wind is endless, and there are bursts of moist chill in the river.

Before Bian Youli let go, Luo Feng fell to his knees and bowed deeply to the river three times in a row, with a solemn and sincere expression.

"Master, my disciple has come to see you." Luo Feng said, "Although it has been a long time, my disciple will never forget what you told me."

……

Just remembering, there was a pull on the sleeve.

Ruan Xi was pushed down on the bed, but he refused to settle down, he tugged at Bian Youli's sleeve and said, "Then why do you stop doing business with them?"

Bian Youli's thoughts immediately flew back to the present, and he said with a smile: "It's just a moment of urgency. If you think the trade is suitable, you agree to them. I don't really want to stop it."

"Then I don't want it," Ruan Xi frowned, "Since you don't like it, I won't agree to them."

"..." Bian Youli was about to explain a few words, but then thought that Ruan Xi was totally irrational at this moment, and it would be useless to say more, so he couldn't help but smiled, and planned to bypass this matter first.

Hurrying footsteps came from the door, Bian Youli looked up and saw Yuan He walking quickly.Seeing that Ruan Xi was staying beside Bian Youli, she slowed down and regained her usual composure.

"General," Yuan He saluted slightly, "servant servants are here to serve the king."

Now that Yuan He is here, of course it is more appropriate for her to take care of Ruan Xi.Bian Youli was about to let go of Ruan Xi and let Yuan He come, but found that Ruan Xi was holding his hand tightly, lying on the bed, and fell asleep.

"This..." Bian Youli looked at Yuan He.

"..." Yuan He looked back innocently.

Bian Youli felt that something was wrong with Ruan Xi tonight, he seemed to be in a bad mood, or had some unspeakable distress.Seeing that he finally fell asleep peacefully at this moment, she didn't want to disturb him.

But Ling Hua Palace is not Ruan Xi's bedroom after all, if he stays here, it will be even worse if he gets up late tomorrow and misses things.

While thinking, Bian Youli tried to pull out his sleeve, but failed.He helplessly asked the only other person in the hall who was awake: "Yuan He, when will your majesty go to court tomorrow?"

Yuan He immediately replied: "Go back to the general, take a rest tomorrow, and not go to court."

If you don't go to court, you don't have to get up early, and you don't have to worry about mistakes.

It was God's will.

Bian Youli immediately dispelled his worries, and without pulling up his sleeves, he simply said: "Then there is no need to wake up the king, let him rest overnight in Linghua Palace."

"Yes," Yuan He didn't have the slightest objection, and accepted the opinion peacefully, "Do you want slaves to wait on you?"

Bian Youli nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty didn't even drink the hangover soup tonight, I'm afraid you'll have a headache tomorrow morning, you should pay more attention."

"Yes, the servant girl will ask someone to prepare the soup later."

"There are also clothes that the king will wear, and bring them here."

Receiving Yuan He's unhesitating promise, Bian Youli thought for a moment, and felt that he had nothing else to say, so he leaned over and whispered a few words into Ruan Xi's ear.His call was probably intended to coax, and after a long time, Ruan Xi finally let go of his hand.

After getting his freedom, Bian Youli got up and said to Yuan He, "You can stay in Linghua Hall tonight."

Hearing this, it seemed that he himself didn't intend to stay here, so Yuan He wondered, "Will the general not rest?"

"No," Bian Youli shook his head, "I'll go for a walk."

Yuan He hesitated: "General, it's getting late."

"It's okay, I won't go far. By the way, how is Jiang Yan?" Bian Youli said.

"Master Jiang is fine, and Director Qin also said that the situation is good."

"That's good," Bian Youli glanced at Ruan Xi again, then turned around and said, "You take good care of your majesty."

After saying that, he strode out the door.

Yuan He sighed silently, and bowed slightly towards the door to show respect, but when he turned around, he saw Ruan Xi's eyes were clear, staring in the direction of the door silently, where was the drunken haze just now?

Bian Youli came out of the inner hall and walked into the yard, and was blown by the night wind, and suddenly felt a chill.

Just now Yuan He had vaguely reminded him that it was very late now, and it would be inappropriate to still be active outside, and it might be considered as having ulterior motives.

This is of course inappropriate and should be avoided consciously, but he really can't sleep.

When he first saw his senior brother, Bian Youli was filled with resentment, he didn't understand why he didn't show up earlier, if he could have come out earlier, maybe the master wouldn't have died, so why was he so lonely.

But Run Liu said that the person who sent Ying Zhicao that day turned out to be the senior brother.

Since he was able to learn about his plight in time, he must have been paying attention to these matters, and even went so far as to personally deliver the medicine, which shows that he didn't intend to stand idly by.

And tonight, I took my brother to the river outside Qiongning City, saw him kneeling on the ground with a sad expression, and said that he never forgot what the master told him before.

At that time, the light was dim, and the clouds covered half of the moon, and the waves on the river could not illuminate the scenery on the shore.Bian Youli looked at Luo Feng carefully, and saw that he was dressed in plain white, which was about the same color as his own body, so he thought that the senior brother probably didn't wear colorful clothes because of his master.

After all, in my memory, although Luo Feng would not dress very brightly, she was rarely so plain.

And the expression on his face didn't seem to be fake, Bian Youli looked at it quietly for a while, thought for a while, took a few steps forward, and knelt down beside him.After saluting towards the river, Bian Youli turned his head and said, "...Brother."

This "brother" is different from the angry address in the court, it is a real honorific title.As in many years before, with trust, sincerity, and a trace of indelible childishness.

Hearing the familiar tone, Luo Feng seemed to froze, and then responded in a low voice: "Huh?"

"Is Master not letting you come to me?"

Luo Feng hesitated for a moment, then looked down at Jiang Mian: "Before I left the valley, Master did give some instructions, but... I can't tell you for now."
