King and General untie their battle robes

"Are you asleep?" Black Shadow whispered.

Hearing someone's voice, Ruan Xi relaxed his tense nerves, opened his eyes and sat up: "No."

It can make him feel at ease, because it is none other than Bian Youli who came back and left the palace.

Bian Youli didn't expect that Ruan Xi was still awake, so he couldn't help being startled. He muttered vaguely, "You sober up so quickly", then fumbled to light a lamp, brought it closer to borrow light and lit it again. After looking at a few candles, seeing the light come on, I put down the candlestick and sat down beside the bed.

As soon as he sat down, Ruan Xi felt an extremely sudden chill coming from Bian Youli's body, which was obviously just brought back from the outside.

"Why are you wearing so little?" Ruan Xi touched Bian Youli's arm, felt that there was no warmth on the sleeve, and said worriedly, "It's so cold at night, you see that there is no heat left on your clothes."

"Really?" Bian Youli touched his sleeve, and felt that it was true, so he pushed him, "Then move in and give me some quilt."

Ruan Xi was stunned for a moment, and obediently moved a large piece inside, leaving half of the bed outside, and divided the quilt into more than half.

Bian Youli took off his outer shirt very quickly, shrunk down on the bed, took up a large part of the quilt, and kept saying, "It's really cold...it froze to death!"

Under the same quilt, Ruan Xi knew that Bian Youli's words were not exaggerated, because he also clearly felt the air-conditioning from the person next to him.He looked to the side, and saw that Bian Youli had wrapped himself tightly in the quilt, only showing a pair of eyes, looking out shining brightly.

"Why are you here?" Ruan Xi tucked in the quilt for him and said casually.

Bian Youli was stunned for a moment, and seemed to be very surprised: "...Isn't this my bedroom?"

Ruan Xi was also stunned when he heard the words. He asked Bian Youli why he was here, which meant that Bian Youli was obviously not in the palace, so he was a little surprised to appear here.

But Bian Youli seems to be right.

And this kind of tone of taking Ling Huadian as his own for granted made Ruan Xi very happy.

He silently admitted the misunderstanding, and covered it lightly: "I mean, why did you come back at this time?"

"I'm going out to get something." Bian Youli huddled under the quilt and said.

At this time, normal people would ask what they were going to get, but Ruan Xi was not very curious about what Bian Youli did.He just wanted to ask at this moment, where did he get it?

Did you go to the post house and ask Luo Feng to get it?

He thought so, and asked the same question.

Also got the expected answer.

After saving some warmth in the quilt, Bian Youli finally exposed his face and said with a smile, "I went to the posthouse to get it, it took me a while."

Ruan Xi couldn't tell what was going on in his heart, so he could only smile slightly and said, "It seems to be something very important."

"That's right," Bian Youli didn't notice Ruan Xi's loss at all, "Why don't you ask what it is?"

"What is it that is so important?"

Bian Youli smiled and said, "Because it's for you."

Ruan Xi was stunned: "Give it to me?"

Bian Youli took out his hand from under the quilt, searched for it for a while, and then stretched it out to Ruan Xi's eyes: "Yes, here, here you are."

On Bian Youli's hand lay a delicate dagger.The scabbard of this dagger seems to be woven with gold thread and silver thread, which can be described as extremely delicate. Several rows of round jade stones of various colors are inlaid on the periphery, forming a very strange pattern, reflecting a piece of fluorescent light under the lamp.

"...This is it?" Ruan Xi looked at it hesitantly, but didn't answer.

Bian Youli simply picked up Ruan Xi's hand, put the dagger directly into his hand, and explained: "A blacksmith in Luo State saw me wearing the Yushi sword before, stopped me and asked a few words, and then said Yushi sword There was a dagger when it was released, but only their royal family knew where it was. I asked my brother when I saw it tonight, and it happened to be on an envoy. Aren’t you good at using daggers? I’ve always wanted to get them for you .”

Ruan Xi didn't speak for a long time, until Bian Youli raised his head to look at him inexplicably, and then said slowly: "Is it just to get this dagger when you go out so late?"

"That's right." Bian Youli sat up a little bit under the quilt, looked at Ruan Xi and said, "This dagger is called Yunxing. It is very powerful. It is said that it cuts steel like mud, does not stain blood, and drinks blood like new. Yu Shijian is a pair...don't you like it?"

Ruan Xi's reaction was a bit different from what Bian Youli expected, he didn't have a very happy expression, but he kept staring at Yun Xing, his expression seemed extremely solemn, which made Bian Youli feel uneasy, afraid that he wouldn't like it.

After a while, Ruan Xi firmly grasped the dagger in his hand, shifted his gaze to Bian Youli's face, and said word for word, "No, I like it very much."

Bian Youli immediately felt relieved: "Just as long as you like it."

I knew that Ruan Xi would like it, just as a person who is good at swords longs for the world's swords, so should a person who is good at daggers, with the best weapon in hand, it will be much smoother.

Ruan Xi held the dagger tightly in his hand, stared at Bian Youli's face, and said softly, "If you ask for it, that person will give it to you. Did you make things difficult for you?"

"How could it be given to me?" Bian Youli laughed, with a trace of slyness on his face, "But I told him that unless you give me a dagger, there will be no business in Luo Kingdom; if you give me, I will be with you Speak nice words for them in front of them, and say a few more good things.”

His smug look is like a child who won some bet, with a pure childishness, which made Ruan Xi laugh: "He just gave it to you?"

"As an envoy, he naturally hopes that the negotiation will be successful. Business is more valuable than this. Besides, he doesn't think this dagger is so precious, he just regards it as a treasure. But... Later I felt embarrassed, so I took The ancient book that the blacksmith gave me was given to him." Bian Youli said.

Ruan Xi asked curiously: "The blacksmith even gave you an ancient book, is it of any use?"

Bian Youli shook his head very bluntly: "I don't know, I just want this dagger for you." After he finished speaking, he thought for a while, and seemed to feel that his behavior was too domineering, so he said again: "Big deal You can give him something else in a few days, and then agree to trade."

Ruan Xi clenched the dagger tightly, smiled and nodded.

I don't know the ancient books inside, and the business related to Guozuo, all of which have become the distant and faint backdrop at this time, only the heavy scabbard in his hand, the person in front of him, and his unintentional joke are the most heart-shattering existences.

Ruan Xi recalled Bian Youli's question just now in his heart, and thought softly: I like it, but not only this dagger.

In the early court, Ruan Xi readily agreed to Luo State's request for trade, and Bian Youli did not make trouble at all, and even asked for some extra rewards for Luo State's envoys.

Now that the goal of the mission has been achieved, there is no need for Luo Feng and others to stay.Ruan Xi probably thought the same way, and said directly in the hall that all the distinguished guests had been away from home for a long time, and I am afraid that I miss them very much, and will prepare a farewell banquet as soon as possible to see them off.

This appearance is much more caring than the officials of the Luo Kingdom who left home.

If the envoy Luo returns to China in the near future, Luo Feng and Bian Youli are destined to have a hard time seeing each other again.The identities of the two of them can almost be said to be on opposite sides. The chance of meeting each other is extremely small or secondary. As long as they meet, it may be because of conflict, it is better not to have this opportunity.

So this parting is destined to be a solemn and difficult parting.

After coming down to court, Bian Youli asked Run Liu to tell the people around Ruan Xi that he was going to the post house, and that he would go directly to the military camp in the evening and would not return to the palace.

To put it bluntly, with his status before Leap Sixth, he was not eligible to go to court, but it happened that Ruan Xi rewarded meritorious soldiers today, so he, Mingcha and others were all in the court, just in time to spread the word.

After listening to Bian Youli's instructions, Run Liu subconsciously agreed, but after a while he was puzzled and felt a little strange.But at this time Bian Youli had gone far away, so he turned around and asked Mingcha, "Isn't it normal for the general to go to the barracks? Why do you have to explain to the king?"

Mingcha naturally knew the real reason, but he was thinking about Ruan Xi's reward just now, and he was very absorbed in thinking about it, when he suddenly heard the question of Run Liu, he couldn't think up an excuse to deal with him, so he said in an impatient tone He replied: "Let us explain, we will explain, we are not involved in the general's affairs."

"Oh," Run Liu rubbed his head, and habitually believed his words, "Just say what you say, why are you so angry?"

Mingcha watched the brothers in the army behind him gradually walk forward and leave, and suddenly deliberately slowed down, falling behind the crowd, and Run Liu slowed down with him when he saw this.

When they were in an area where no one else was around and they were sure that their words would not be overheard, Ming Cha grabbed Run Liu, frowned and said what he had been thinking about, "Brother Zishun, what do you mean?" , the king gave us such a generous reward, why did he only give some items to the general?"

Ever since Ruan Xi ordered people to recite the imperial decree for awarding rewards in the court hall, Mingcha has been thinking about this question.The king's rewards for them this time are not unreasonable. The first few generals have been promoted in rank, and the soldiers below have also received very surprising rewards, not to mention material benefits.

Only Bian Youli was given many rare and precious items without any position rewards.

No matter how good and rare the material is, it is limited, after all, it is no more than a real official position.Knowing that Bian Youli didn't know much about these things, Mingcha couldn't help but feel even more worried.

Run Liu had always been quite convinced of Ming Cha's intelligence, but now seeing Ming Cha's worried expression, he suddenly felt that this matter was not easy.He tried his best to think for a moment, and when he thought of something, his face suddenly turned pale, and he quickly whispered into Mingcha's ear, "Is it possible that the king is afraid that the general's military power will be too powerful and difficult to control?"
