King and General untie their battle robes

"You can explain these things yourself to him." Bian Youli gave Jiang Yan a cold look, then turned to Ruan Xi, "Then, you must not want to say it."

Ruan Xi looked at him, and there seemed to be thousands of thoughts churning in his eyes, but after a while, he finally turned his eyes away.

Silence is like an invisible but extremely sharp blade, mercilessly slashing across the peace that has been whitewashed for more than half a year, so those connections that seem to have been strengthening all the time suddenly have no resistance, and immediately fall apart and collapse into an army .

Bian Youli said indifferently, "Didn't you say a word?"

"..."

"The matter has come to this point," Bian Youli looked at Ruan Xi with anger on his face, "You didn't even give me an explanation?"

Ruan Xi's avoiding eyes intensified the anger in Bian Youli's words, and his speechlessness at the moment seemed to be the best evidence of guilt.

But this is not what he wants to see, nor is it what he wants to accept.

"...Sorry." After a while, Ruan Xi lowered his head and said softly.

Then, as if after some thought, he slowly made a decision.Therefore, in the following words, Ruan Xi's tone was heavy, but his voice was almost gentle: "When I first saw you, I didn't intend to let you stay in the palace forever, but later...even though you stayed, I know you have always disliked it. "

Hearing that something was wrong, Jiang Yan called out to the king in surprise, but was stopped by Ruan Xi with a gesture, and his eyes were still looking at Bian Youli.

During the days when Jiang Yan disappeared, Ruan Xi thought about what would happen when Bian Youli left him, but he never thought that this day might come so soon.

What's more, I didn't expect that as long as I imagined the scene where Bian Youli left the palace and became a stranger to himself, I would feel so uneasy.

——Is it more than restless?

When he thought that he was just a passer-by in Bian Youli's long life, with only a hasty encounter, a short time together, and then a permanent parting, he could hardly control the great sadness in his heart.

And all of this wasn't even wishful thinking, it was a compromise that Bian Youli had no choice but to scheme against, without Bian Youli knowing or liking it.

Because Bian Youli should have the most desirable lifestyle in the world - it should be free and unrestrained, free and pure, gentle and clean.

But what I brought to him was treachery and darkness day after day, setbacks and sufferings, difficulties and limitations.

These unbearable things have nothing to do with Bian Youli.

Ruan Xi felt ashamed and regretted to the extreme: So I was so selfish, I knew he didn't like the palace and restraint, but I still pretended not to notice it, or didn't feel it was that deep.

The promise I once made in my heart, saying that I would compensate him when the mess at hand was dealt with, send him away, and let him enjoy the real life in the sky and sea——turned out to be self-deception.

It's all, just deceiving yourself and others.

It's just that I don't want him to leave, so I give him countless undisguised attentions, give him anything he wants, want to give him fame, fortune and power, and hope to keep him longer.

This kind of method, this kind of thought, can be said to be despicable in front of someone like Bian Youli, right?

However, what is this?

Now, even if there is no such person in the palace, the original crisis has passed, and the remaining ones have little to do with Bian Youli.It doesn't matter if he's here or not.

If there is no difference, then there is no reason.

That being the case, how could he pull him to struggle together in this whirlpool of days?

I have buried my selfish thoughts for so long, and I have gained more than I could have imagined in my life. Is there anything I am not satisfied with?

"...If you want to leave now, I will make arrangements and I won't cause you any trouble. I will try my best to fulfill any other requests you have." Ruan Xi looked at Bian Youli and said the last sentence After finishing, it seemed that most of the strength had been removed from the whole body, and I only felt tired and weak.

It was like returning to the most resisting period in memory, and the whole person was surrounded by hopelessness with an unpredictable future.

And Bian Youli stared at him in disbelief, as if he never expected that Ruan Xi would say this at this time.

"You let me go?"

After a while, Bian Youli calmed down a little, but his tone was still full of surprise, and even hurt a little: "Are you chasing me?"

"No," Ruan Xi hurriedly explained, "I mean, you can leave as you want, no one will stop you."

"You..." Hearing this explanation, Bian Youli suddenly became even more angry. After finishing your words, he couldn't finish the sentence. He paused, but he was even more chilled than before. Do I have to go?"

Ruan Xi immediately looked at him blankly, not understanding where the sudden increase in anger came from.

Wandering freely and unrestrainedly between heaven and earth, isn't that what Bian Youli likes?

But even though he was full of doubts, facing Bian Youli's anger, Ruan Xi still instinctively didn't want to offend, and immediately explained: "Of course not, you can do whatever you want."

It would be best if Bian Youli was willing to stay, but Ruan Xi didn't dare to ask, and could only say that it was up to him.

"It's best like this," Bian Youli snorted coldly, with an indifferent expression on his face, "You won't say what your intentions are now, but I must find out."

When talking about this matter, Ruan Xi could only remain silent.

Bian Youli knew that he would not be able to ask questions for a while, so he simply stopped talking.He glanced at Jiang Yan next to him, and said, "The two of you probably still have a lot to say, so I won't bother you." Then he turned and wanted to leave.

Ruan Xi subconsciously wanted to stop him, but he swallowed the words when he was about to leave them, and could only watch Bian Youli leave the side hall alone without looking back.

In the huge space, there was another person missing.

"Your Majesty?" Watching Bian Youli go out, sure that he would not come back, Jiang Yan looked back at Ruan Xi and said, "If General Bian wants to leave, do you really want him to leave?"

"Don't implicate him anymore," Ruan Xi seemed extremely tired, stepped back and sat on a chair, rubbing his brows, "I don't want to implicate him anymore."

Jiang Yan glanced at the door thoughtfully, and said no more.

Bian Youli probably went to the military camp when he went out, so he probably won't be returning to the palace for the time being.Ruan Xi motioned Jiang Yan to sit down. He still had many questions about the previous incident and needed answers.

"When you came back from Luo Kingdom, did you really leave the barracks by yourself?"

Jiang Yan nodded: "The minister walked through the small gate when Mingcha was not there and they were changing guards again."

Ruan Xi paused, thinking of the guess he had made before, wanted to ask, but couldn't open his mouth no matter what.

If it was really what I thought, wouldn't it be another responsibility for others to take on in vain?

Jiang Yan seemed to have seen through his hesitation, and took the initiative to ask: "Does your majesty want to ask why I left the barracks by myself? In fact, when Lin Xiangguo proposed to send someone to Luo State at that time, I thought of it."

The intention of Lin Xiangguo's proposal can be said to be clear, that is, to bring bad luck to people with malicious intentions.But after Jiang Yan heard what he said, he saw an opportunity in it.

Not only is it a chance for Zhang Taifu, who is sick at home, to return to the court, but also a chance for Ruan Xi to leave the palace openly.

As long as something unexpected happened to him during this trip, Ruan Xi would definitely seize this opportunity and use the reason of deep friendship to bring someone out to look for it.

This reason is simple and irrefutable. No matter what the purpose is, no one can stop him.

"Sure enough..." Ruan Xi closed his eyes and leaned back in the chair, "You want Gu to go to the border smoothly, so you put yourself in danger."

"Isn't the minister coming back well?" Jiang Yan said indifferently, "this trip was worth it."

"Fuqing has always been worried about losing you," Ruan Xi said, "He was worried that Gu thought he was acting out of selfishness and didn't want to save you, so he took down five cities in Luo Kingdom in a row, just to force Luo Kingdom to release people."

Jiang Yan was silent for a while, then sighed softly: "He is a rare person in the world."

I don't know what language to use to describe this person, who values ​​love and righteousness, is sincere, keeps promises, and abides by the way of a gentleman?

Neither seemed enough.

I can only sigh, it is rare in the world.

Ruan Xi: "So I don't want to implicate him. This is my own business, but it's wrong for him to have to deal with it for a long time."

With Jiang Yan's behavior style, it is not surprising that he dissuades, but what is surprising is that he did not object at all, and immediately agreed: "Okay, the king just go and talk to him."

Ruan Xi was surprised and said, "Aren't you going to stop Gu?"

It's not that Ruan Xi wants Jiang Yan to do anything to hinder him, but according to his understanding of Jiang Yan, he did so many things to keep Bian Youli, and now he is willing to let go easily?

Jiang Yan smiled and shook his head: "Your Majesty is Duyi."

The two talked without any scruples in the hall, but no one noticed that there was a vague dark shadow reflected on the window paper not far from their seats.

Bian Youli withdrew from the window and left, his figure was brisk and quick, and he was outside the palace gate in the blink of an eye.

Growing up so big, except for secretly hiding in the master's room when he was in the valley and listening to his brother pleading for himself, this was the first time he eavesdropped on others.

Originally, he didn't want to, but since he walked out of the palace gate, Bian Youli really couldn't calm down, and his mood was very unstable. He happened to see no one around, and he was very curious about the conversation between the two people in the palace.

He stood by the window because of the right time, place and people.

Unexpectedly, I heard Ruan Xi say this again - don't want to hurt yourself?

Bian Youren said, is this determined to let me go?
