King and General untie their battle robes

When Jiang Yan also left, Ruan Xi stood at the door of the side hall, looked at the brightly lit hall on the other side, thought for a while, and finally did not pass.

Many ministers inside are probably still lively, with food, drink, singing and dancing, everything is very happy.But Ruan Xi didn't want to get involved.

This night, during the internal turmoil in Luo, Luo Feng asked for help, and Mingcha was dispatched abroad. The Tai Fu went to the military camp for no reason, and he met Jiang Yan who hadn't shown up for a long time.

Also... There seems to be a conflict with Bian Youli.

Everything appeared unexpectedly, and they came together so densely, like a flawless net, that bound him tightly, tightened, entwined, forcing him to hardly breathe.

What should I do?

Finally, Jiang Yan asked many things clearly, and Luo Feng can rest assured for the time being.But why did Taifu rush to the barracks suddenly?Bian Youli...how should he face it?

Still clueless, messed up.

Ruan Xi habitually wanted to ask Yuan He to cook a heart-clearing soup, but suddenly remembered that Yuan He was still watching the game of chess in Linghua Hall.

In the afternoon, Bian Youli still had the reluctant look on his face when he went out, but after a while, everything changed.

In this place where no one saw, Ruan Xi couldn't help but smile bitterly under cover of the night, although he quickly changed into his normal expression.

There is probably no way to continue that game of chess.

There was no one here to call Yuan He, and Ruan Xi didn't know what to think. After thinking for a moment, he decided to go to Linghua Palace by himself.

Finding someone is not so necessary, even if Yuan He is not there, there are still countless palace people.

And he came up with this thought almost without much hesitation, perhaps, there was still some kind of hope that he dared not express in his heart.

But Yuan He's absence gave him a seemingly reasonable reason after all, which was just right.Ruan Xi was alone, and rushed all the way to Linghua Palace in the dark.

When he saw the bright lights inside the door, he subconsciously felt a burst of joy in his heart.

But he immediately thought that this was because Yuan He was inside, and immediately felt lost again, but he couldn't explain the reason for this loss.

I can't tell, and I don't want to think about it.

When they were a few steps away from the door, Yuan He came out from the door to welcome him, and saluted Ruan Xi slightly.

Ruan Xi concealed all abnormal emotions, and smiled at Yuan He: "How come you just came out before Gu called you?"

In front of people, he naturally maintained his usual gentleness and calmness.So Yuan He didn't notice the abnormality, and replied with a smile: "I didn't intend to come to see the king, but I thought that the kitchen meal should arrive, so I came out to pick it up. Didn't the dinner fail? The king should eat too." something."

Thinking of the series of troubles caused by the dinner party, Ruan Xi was in a mess, and quickly waved his hands and said, "I'm not hungry, just bring a few plates of snacks to Changtai Hall."

Yuan He was taken aback: "Your Majesty, aren't you eating in Linghua Hall?"

"No," Ruan Xi refused, "Bring the things to the Changtai Palace, I will have to watch the memorial later."

"But..." Yuan He had always followed Ruan Xi's orders, so he couldn't help hesitating to object at this time.

But she couldn't help asking.

Ruan Xi saw that Yuan He's appearance was not right, and he didn't take the order to do it immediately, and felt a little strange, so he couldn't help but wondered: "What else is there?"

Yuan He looked inside the hall, took half a step forward, pointed at the inside with his hand, and whispered to Ruan Xi: "If the king takes the rice away, won't the general have nothing to eat?"

"..." Time seemed to stand still for a moment, then Ruan Xi said slowly, "The general is here?"

"Yes," Yuan He nodded, "I've been back for a while, and I've been here all the time. The servant asked the general if the meal was ready for the banquet, and the general said no, so the servant sent someone to prepare the supper."

Bian Youli is inside?

The chaotic thoughts along the way were suddenly no longer important. They were bundled together and flew lightly into the distance, and finally gradually disappeared.

Only this thought, this sentence, these few words remain.

he is inside.

So there was joy for no reason.

"The general is really inside?" Ruan Xi asked again as if confirming.

Seeing this, Yuan He felt strange, but when he thought of the general's unhappy expression, he understood a little bit, and nodded affirmatively: "It's in the chess room, the servants seem to be a little unhappy to see the general, can't the king go to persuade him?"

The cool wind blew past, and there was a soft sound on the nearby branches and leaves, and the night suddenly became gentle.

With a sincere smile on Ruan Xi's face, he said to Yuan He, "Go to the kitchen and remind me yourself, and bring the food."

Yuan He responded very simply this time, and immediately walked towards the intersection.

Ruan Xi stood outside the hall, as if he needed to accumulate a little strength to get in, before he finally took a step towards the chess room in Linghua Hall.

Bian Youli sat alone on one side of the chessboard, rubbing a white piece in his hand, turning it over and over again, while keeping his eyes on the chessboard.

Hearing the sound of the door, Bian Youli paused, and continued to hold the chess pieces in his hand as if nothing had happened.

The footsteps were obviously not Yuanhe, and they were very familiar.

After confirming that the person who came in was Ruan Xi, Bian Youli felt relieved.It's just that this feeling is very slight, and it is covered up by other emotions in a blink of an eye.

After Ruan Xi entered the chess room for a few steps, seeing that Bian Youli didn't move or raise his head, he was not sure whether he should move forward or not.

Fortunately, the true longing in his heart quickly defeated those thoughts. Ruan Xi only hesitated for a moment, then walked to the other side of the chessboard and sat down, looking at the person opposite.

"Fu Qing..." Ruan Xi tried to speak.

"Snapped!"

With a crisp collision, Bai Zi fell.

Bian Youli looked up at Ruan Xi, then looked at the chessboard in front of him, and said calmly, "It's your turn."

Ruan Xi was taken aback, and quickly picked up the sunspots, but his mood could not be calmed down at all, how could he analyze the chess game?

His eyes were full of Bian Youli's expression just now, with a hint of coldness, his expression was indifferent, and his brows were clear. Even though he immediately lowered his head and couldn't see it, at that moment, it seemed to be enough to confuse people's minds.

Such a state, of course, cannot win chess.

To Ruan Xi's surprise, Bian Youli also failed to win.

A few days ago, the two of them competed with each other, and the level can be said to be about the same. It stands to reason that when he was in a state of uncertainty, Bian Youli should be sure to win.

It turned out to be a draw.

Ruan Xi quietly turned his gaze to the person opposite, and saw that although Bian Youli was expressionless, he frowned from time to time, and there was a hint of irritability in his eyes.

He couldn't help guessing boldly—could it be that I'm not the only one in a trance?
