King and General untie their battle robes

Where things will go in the end, neither of them can control it at this time, they can't know, they can only wait and see.

But this is, after all, a good start.

So in the following time, Bian Youli heard a story that spanned quite a long time from Ruan Xi.

The story begins when Ruan Xi's father was in power, about ten years ago.The protagonist is Lin Zhongshi, the right prime minister of the Jing Kingdom.

Lin Zhongshi was born as a bandit.He has been in the green forest for some years, but he didn't have much loyalty in the world.At that time, as soon as the imperial court offered a reward to arrest them, Lin Zhongshi did not hesitate to betray a group of heroic accomplices, and generously stated that he took the reward money, and then used the reward silver to donate a county magistrate.Not long after, he married a local brothel oiran and gave birth to a daughter.

His real start started with this daughter.

Miss Lin is worthy of being the daughter of an oiran, she has been beautiful since she was a child, and before she reached the age of hairpin, she was already somewhat better than her mother, and her reputation spread all over the place.

Lin Zhongshi did not disappoint his daughter's appearance, and paid a lot of money to ask someone to teach her the etiquette and manners of an official woman. Her mother who was an oiran taught her how to subdue men. Yizhuang is also a demon.

That year the queen was seriously ill, and the late king had a deep relationship with her husband and wife, so he went out of the palace to pray for his beloved wife.When Lin Zhongshi learned of this, he specifically inquired about the whereabouts of the late king and asked Miss Lin to stay on the road.

The late king had an accident on his way out and was almost hijacked. Miss Lin acted bravely and came forward to save her, but she was seriously injured and followed back to the palace logically.

As for the queen's illness, all the imperial physicians were helpless, how could it be possible to pray for blessings a few times?So not long after, he passed away, leaving only Ruan Xi who was still a child.

As soon as the queen left, Miss Lin used her means and soon became Concubine Lin, in charge of the harem, and even helped her father get a high official and rich salary, and the highest honor and favor.

In fact, this story does not have much content, but when Ruan Xi told it, it seemed that he had experienced those things again, so it seemed particularly difficult and tortuous.

When it came to the end, Ruan Xi smiled mockingly: "It is said that the father and the queen mother had a deep love for the husband and wife, but the mother was only immortal for less than a month, but he was able to order the whole palace to congratulate, sing and dance, celebrate, and set up a book. Another woman is the concubine."

During that period of time, the palace was full of red silk gauze flowers, the lights were flowing, and the music and music continued for more than half a month, and it was transmitted straight to the mourning hall.

His mother had died not long ago, and her bones were still cold; his father was hugging another woman, newlyweds.

From that moment, Ruan Xi knew that his only good life before had come to an end.

Needless to say, in the days to come, Ruan Xi was strictly disciplined by his mother since he was a child, and he didn't have much free time in childhood, let alone any memories worth remembering later.

Until he ascended the throne and Concubine Lin passed away, Lin Zhongshi still manipulated the court and refused to let go, and this haze has continued until now.

What Ruan Xi wanted was to get rid of this haze.

Involving royal power and society, open and secret fights in the palace, these things are so intricate that ordinary people in the market probably have never heard of them, let alone Bian Youli who lived in the mountains since childhood.

He is familiar with the habits of vegetation, and he also learned the layout of troops from books, and he knows the method of dispatching troops and generals.But Bian Youli, even though he is very talented and proficient in literature and martial arts, along with people's hearts, his knowledge is ultimately superficial.

And this kind of thing, unless you experience it yourself, you can't understand it.

So after hearing what Ruan Xi had said, Bian Youli was silent for a long while before hesitating to say, "Perhaps, that's not your father's original intention."

It's not that he made up these words casually to comfort Ruan Xi, but after hearing what happened, Bian Youli did feel a little weird.

Even if the former king of Jing Kingdom had no feelings for his wife, just for the sake of looking good, he shouldn't do such absurd things-welcome a new wife when his wife is newly mourned.

What's more, he really had a deep affection with the first queen, and no one knew it.

It's a pity that even though this sentence was what Bian Youli really thought, to Ruan Xi's ears, it was just a weak comforting sentence, and he didn't take it very seriously.

"I don't know what else Lin Zhongshi wants." Ruan Xi shook his head, pressed his brows lightly, with a tired expression, "Father has already given him supreme power."

Already under one person, above ten thousand people.

If he is not satisfied, he can only covet the topmost things.

After Bian Youli finished listening, he didn't speak for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, he said softly, "It turns out that you are worried about him."

Ruan Xi looked back in astonishment, for a moment he didn't understand what Bian Youli's sudden emotion meant.

Bian Youli smiled slightly, and said in a brisk tone, "Aren't you coaxing me into the palace just as a cover to fool him?"

Ruan Xi was startled, and immediately knew that he was talking about the first meeting, so he looked at him wordlessly and didn't speak.

Who said that it was indeed like this at the beginning? It is a fact that cannot be denied.

Even if there are many differences in the future, the first encounter with ulterior motives can never be covered up, right?

Bian Youli raised his hand and unconsciously knocked a few times on the chessboard, as if he was thinking about something.After a while, he picked up a piece: "Come on, finish this game well."

During this period, Yuan He came in to deliver food, but Bian Youli refused.The game of chess between the two lasted for more than half an hour, and finally ended with Ruan Xi winning a piece.

Winning chess didn't bring much joy to Ruan Xi, he didn't know why, but was very disturbed.

Looking at Bian Youli again, even though he is the loser, he has a smile on his face, he seems to be more proud than the one who won the chess.

Seeing Ruan Xi's worried expression, Bian Youli said, "You should be happy for what you are doing, because you are good at chess after all."

However, Ruan Xi couldn't be happier.

He frowned and listened to this sentence, feeling that there seemed to be some deep meaning, but he couldn't understand it for a while, so he looked at Bian Youli: "Fuqing, what do you mean?"

Bian Youli paused, then suddenly moved forward, and said in a low voice, "You and I met once, and we will talk about the matter of going or staying after Lin Zhongshi's trouble is over."

"what?"

His answer seemed to have nothing to do with the question, but Ruan Xi involuntarily changed his mind, shifted his attention to this, and said blankly, "But I'm not sure."

Even if Lin Zhongshi had five points of troops in his hands, it was only enough to contend, not enough to win completely.

"I don't care about that," Bian Youli said with a smile, "You are the first person I met outside, if I am not sure that you will get rid of the serious troubles in my heart, I will leave, how can I feel at ease?"

Ruan Xi didn't know how to react at this moment, whether he was happy that he didn't leave for the time being, or disappointed that he was going to leave eventually.

——It doesn't seem right, isn't my original intention to keep him away from the danger in court as soon as possible?Those treacherous situations, I alone have endured enough, and no one should be implicated.

But looking at Bian Youli's smiling face and listening to what he said, those prepared advices to urge him to leave couldn't be said no matter what.

I can't say a word.

"Don't think about reasons, it's useless," Bian Youli raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I'm hungry, so I asked Yuan He to come in, shall we have something to eat?"

Seeing this, Ruan Xi knew that it would be impossible to persuade him, so he could only sigh secretly, although he was helpless, there was an indescribable joy in his heart.

Then nodded and said: "Okay."

As for the question I asked just now, I have completely forgotten it.

The two of them basically reconciled with each other, while Luo Feng's side is also progressing very smoothly.

Mingcha brought [-] elite soldiers with Luo Feng to help, and it was indeed as they expected, Luo Yun was detained by the traitors and could not move freely.

Luo Feng contacted several loyal ministers, asked for some information, added the information sent by Mingcha to inquire, and finally guessed a few places, which might be where those people hid Luo Yun.

Afterwards, they made a layout and used a few teams of people to make false inquiries, and found Luo Yun's whereabouts, which was in the mansion of a small official.They may think that this kind of inconspicuous place can hide from people's eyes and ears. Fortunately, some of the people Luo Feng sought revealed the news, otherwise they might not have found it.

When he found the destination, Mingcha led his men to attack by force. Before the other party could get all the men together, he forced Luo Yun out and took him away.

Back in Jingguo, when Mingcha reported the ins and outs to Ruan Xi in Changtai Palace, Bian Youli was also at the side, and he was really surprised when he heard it: "I would believe this kind of behavior, but you are so straightforward. ?”

In Bian Youli's mind, the previous image of Mingchao is not to say that he is forbearing, but at least he is a person who pays attention to outsmarting. It's really not his style to rob people like this.

It stands to reason that it would be his normal reaction to make three or five plans before departure, eliminate all possible threats, discuss the countermeasures, and practice it for a while.

Mingcha also knew that this action was very out of his style, so he lowered his head a little embarrassedly: "It's really... an emergency."

Ruan Xi didn't understand Mingcha. For him, the outcome was good anyway. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Whatever the situation is, there should be a response. I think this shows that Mingcha is good at adapting and is very smart."

Bian Youli didn't mean to criticize at first, so he nodded with a smile when he heard the words: "It's really reassuring to observe things clearly."

Mingcha received a commendation in the Changtai Hall, and Ruan Xi said that they would be rewarded tomorrow morning.Mingcha heard the meaning of chasing away guests in the words, and immediately left and returned to the camp, leaving Ruan Xi and Bian Youli in the hall.

"Fu Qing," Ruan Xi said, "Do you think there is something wrong?"

"No," Bian Youli immediately denied, and then laughed, "It's just that Mingcha is impulsive once in a while, and I think it's quite interesting."

Ruan Xi asked curiously, "Is he usually very calm?"

"That's right," Bian Youli said approvingly, "It's very rare to see him make mistakes, except for this rare one, which is the last time Jiang Yan disappeared, but it's not the fault of Mingcha, it was Jiang Yan himself. trouble."

"That means there has never been a mistake," Ruan Xi said with a smile, "I have to reward him well tomorrow."
