King and General untie their battle robes

"Zean?"

Ruan Xi was standing facing in, but when he heard a familiar voice, he turned around abruptly.

Seeing that it was indeed Bian Youli who came in, Ruan Xi quickly walked a few steps in front of him, when the two were still a few steps away, Ruan Xi suddenly stopped.

Bian Youli stood at the door, watching Ruan Xi who was walking towards him, but suddenly stopped moving.He didn't know what Ruan Xi's move meant, so he walked in front of Ruan Xi by himself.

"Well... I'm back."

Ruan Xi looked at him approaching, and his originally worried and complex gaze instantly suppressed, and turned into normal peace.

And how many turbulent thoughts are in his heart, from the quiet eyes, he can't see the slightest bit.

Bian Youli went out rather hastily today, and only had time to take a cloak from the inner hall. The style is not special, and the flower decoration is also very simple, just wrapped it around his body to keep out the cold.

There is a row of pure white slender fringed tassels at the neckline of this cloak, probably because of the wind outside, the silk threads are all entangled at this time.

Seeing Ruan Xi staring at him without speaking, Bian Youli couldn't help but follow his gaze and lowered his head, saw the tassels on his clothes that were blown by the wind, thinking that Ruan Xi was looking at this.

Just as he was about to tidy up, Ruan Xi reached out his hand faster than him.

With this action, Ruan Xi seemed much more natural when he spoke: "You went out?"

Bian Youli thought about it, but decided not to tell the truth, and said, "I sent my brother out, and I went out of the palace to see Big Brother Run and the others, so there was some delay."

Ruan Xi gave him a slight pause for his hands arranging the tassels: "Did you go to the military camp to meet them?"

"Ah."

"...Is it cold outside?"

"It's not cold," Bian Youli said with a smile, "but when I came in, I felt that the hall was a bit hot."

Ruan Xi smiled: "Then take off the cloak."

Bian Youli also felt that the cloak was unnecessary, so he nodded, and let Ruan Xi untie the strap of the cloak, took it and threw it aside.

Before Bian Youli came back, Ruan Xi was in a very anxious mood, that kind of worry was so clear that a person as cautious as Yuan He couldn't help but tell Bian Youli not to be like this again next time.

But after Bian Youli came back, Ruan Xi didn't show it at all to the person he cared about.

When Bian Youli was talking, he just smiled and listened patiently, interjecting a sentence or two occasionally, nothing unusual.

After Bian Youli talked to him a few words, he couldn't help thinking about his current situation and his plan to move to the military camp, so he told Ruan Xi about it.

Hearing this, Ruan Xi seemed to be stiff for a moment, and then said gently: "But it might be cold over there, and it's almost Chinese New Year now, so we can go when it gets warmer in the next year, okay?"

Bian Youli didn't notice Ruan Xi's reaction, and seriously thought about his proposal, whether it was feasible to go out and stay later.

Thinking that there should be nothing wrong with the senior brother saying that he would not leave anyway, he readily agreed.

The two of them stayed in Linghua Hall for a short time, when Yuan He suddenly came in and reported to Ruan Xi, saying that King Luofeng asked to see him.

Ruan Xi was obviously taken aback: "Luo Feng?"

Then he looked at Bian Youli with doubts on his face.

He really didn't have much contact with Luo Feng, if he had met, he would have met Bian Youli, right?

Bian Youli shook his head: "I don't know, go and have a look."

He said he didn't know, but he knew in his heart why Luo Feng came here, but he didn't expect it to come so soon, so the surprise on his face was just right, so it wouldn't make people suspicious.

Since Bian Youli said he didn't know, and Ruan Xi didn't want to leave Luo Feng alone, he stopped asking, got up and went to Changtai Hall with Yuan He.

Coming out of the Linghua Palace, the cold wind outside was blowing in, and there was still snow left on the ground a few days ago, adding to the coldness out of thin air.

Yuan He looked at Ruan Xi's expression, seeing that there seemed to be nothing wrong, he said with a smile: "The general has returned to the palace, the king can rest assured."

However, Ruan Xi no longer looked like he was in front of Bian Youli, and the smile on his face was so faint that he could barely see it.

He paused, then turned to Yuan He and said, "Just now what did General Run say they lost, but did you find it?"

Yuan He nodded: "It's a pendant belonging to General Ming. Mu Hui accompanied them back to Changtai Hall to search carefully. It fell under the cushion and happened to be covered, so General Ming didn't pay attention."

"Just find it." Ruan Xi turned around casually.

Yuan He sighed: "It's a pity that General Run and the others wanted to see the general, but the general just happened to go out, so they didn't see him either."

Ruan Xi hummed lightly as a response.

As for what he thinks in his heart, only he knows.

Before he was watching the memorial in Changtai Hall, Runliu and Mingcha suddenly entered the palace to ask for an audience, because of several difficult matters in the camp.In the past, Bian Youli dealt with these things, but since Bian Youli was injured, Ruan Xi didn't want him to be tired, so he asked the army to report directly to Changtai Hall.

After finishing his official business, Run Liu said that he hadn't seen the general for a long time, could he invite the general to meet him, and had a few words to say.

This is not a big deal, Ruan Xi wanted Runliu and Mingcha to go to Linghua Palace, but they said they had urgent matters and they couldn't go in time, so he asked Yuan He to invite Bian Youli.

After a while, he still didn't see anyone. Run Liu said that the matter in the army could not be delayed any longer, and he could not wait any longer. He would visit again in a few days, and hurriedly left with Mingcha.But they came back not long after they left, saying that something was missing, could you ask the king to look for it in the palace.

At this time, Yuan He had just returned, and told Ruan Xi whether Bian Youli was there or not, and no one in Linghua Palace or nearby knew where he was.

When Ruan Xi heard this, this matter was naturally more important than the others.Immediately ordered Yuan He to call another palace servant to accompany Run Liu and the others to find something, and then brought Yuan He to Linghua Hall.

Fortunately, Bian Youli came back not long after, but he said that he went to the barracks to meet Run Liu——

This is obviously not the truth.

However, Ruan Ximing knew that Bian Youli was not telling the truth, so he didn't want to ask more questions.

When Bian Youli entered the door from the outside and saw him standing there, Ruan Xi no longer wanted to care about anything else.

If it wasn't for this time and the sudden meeting at that moment, maybe he still wouldn't realize that his obsession has reached such a point.

Bian Youli didn't realize that Ruan Xi's gaze was mixed with something when he first entered the door.

It's not as common as he thought.

That is the unspeakable but real endless affection, buried in the calmness of walking on thin ice, cautious, trembling, pretending to be nothing.

But the truth and falsehood cannot be confused after all.

So even if he knew what Bian Youli was hiding, Ruan Xi didn't want to care about it, he didn't dare to care about it.

Even if it is not honest enough to be with you, as long as he is still in front of you, it is precious and you will be happy.

Who knows how much longer it will last?

Why bother to pursue those, the two are in power, and it is already very clear which is more important.

Luo Feng didn't come to see Ruan Xi for anything else, because only he knew about the situation of the medicine, so he couldn't return to Luodi for the time being.But after the New Year's Eve, all the kings of the counties have to return, which is another rule.

In order not to let Ruan Xi notice, Jiang Yan asked Luo Feng to say that he wanted to spend a few more days with his adoptive father, so he asked to stay for a while longer.

This reason was found very well, Ruan Xi had long been used to Jiang Yan staying in Qiongning, not to mention that Zhang Ruiyi had no heirs by his side, so he would not object to Jiang Yan being with him.

After this matter was approved, Luo Feng said again: "Your Majesty, Jiang Yan is not in good health. I want to take care of him. Can you allow him to resign from the right commander of the Imperial Army so that he can recuperate?"

This time Ruan Xi thought for a while, and then said: "Alright, Gu will ask Fu Qing later to see if he has any candidates to recommend."

"Thank you sir." Luo Feng got up and saluted.

Ruan Xi motioned him to sit down, hesitated a little, and then said, "You're welcome, you... are you and Jiang Yan okay?"

Luo Feng was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty knows about our relationship?"

Ruan Xi glanced at him, nodded and said, "Gu knows that Jiang Yan has half a hollow jade chess piece separated from the middle, which is a token of love from his parents. He has always made it into a pendant and wears it on his body. It is the one you are wearing today. bar?"

Luo Feng took out the neck pendant from his clothes, and it turned out to be half a pure black jade chess piece with a red thread.The chess pieces are shiny, exquisite and transparent, and the edge of the fracture is not sharp, smooth and smooth.Although half of it is missing, it is not beautiful.

Ruan Xi looked at the half chess piece, and couldn't help but think about Jiang Yan's life. Those past events in the previous generation were really unimaginably rough.

He solemnly said to Luo Feng: "He has experienced a lot of turmoil in the past, and now that he has even given you this pawn, according to his character, he must be unprepared for the slightest retreat. You...don't let him down."

It was very novel to Luofeng to hear Jiang Yan's feelings for him from other people.

Both novelty and joy.

It seems that a certain kind of happiness that has been kept secret all the time, is revealed to the world at this time, and can finally be seen in front of people in an open and aboveboard manner.

As for Ruan Xi's worries, Luo Feng also understood, but it was obviously unnecessary.

Because as early as many years before the ups and downs of the world, his affection for Jiang Yan was deeply rooted, and he never thought of taking it back.

"I know."

It is a promise and a testimony to the long past.

Ruan Xi nodded: "However, if this is the case, I'm afraid you will have to go with Jiang Yan to see the Grand Tutor."

This is natural, after all, Tai Tuo has the grace to educate Jiang Yan.After Luo Feng accepted, seeing that he had achieved his expected goal, he left and returned to Jiangfu.

In the evening, Ruan Xi saw Bian Youli in Linghua Hall, and mentioned Luo Feng's visit today, so he asked Bian Youli who would be better to replace Jiang Yan.

Bian Youli thought about it and recommended Runliu.

In the early morning of the next day, Ruan Xi appointed a large number of inspectors to be sent to various counties. All inspectors were not allowed to hold official positions in the court. Among them, Jiang Yan was sent to Luodi, so naturally he could not have other positions.

Then he announced that Feng Runliu was the right commander of the Forbidden Army.

According to the practice of the Forbidden Army, when a new general arrives, a banquet will be held in the army at night to show his welcome, and it will also be the first meeting between his superiors and subordinates.

This banquet is more grand than in the past, because the number of visitors is extremely high.

Apart from Ruan Xi, Bian Youli, Luo Feng and Jiang Yan, even Lin Xiangguo and Zhang Taifu were there.

This formation is of course due to the special status of the imperial army and the faction of the generals.

The people are so lively, if there is no trouble, it will be a waste of a good banquet.

Because today's protagonist is Run Liu, he has to toast everywhere, and he has to deal with the people who come to toast.Mingcha was afraid that he would drink too much, so he walked with him and helped to block some.

When they came to pay their respects in front of an adult from Lin Xiangguo's side, the man lost his hand and spilled the wine all over his body.Lean Liu was not very happy that night, so he immediately cursed.His words came from his nature, but he didn't intend to cause trouble, so he just said one word and it was over.

General Feng, who was beside him, scolded him back on behalf of the lord.

The two immediately clashed, Bian Youli saw that something was wrong, but he was far away, so he quickly gave Mingcha a look.Mingcha went up to try to persuade him to fight, but in the confusion, General Feng pulled his collar and pushed, a pendant fell out from around his neck.

Seeing this, Run Liu was furious and beat General Feng to the ground.

Mingcha saw that it wasn't good, so he didn't have time to pick it up, so he hurriedly pulled Runliu, Zhang Ruiyi happened to be standing next to the pendant, so he picked it up for him.

Bian Youli rushed over and pulled the two of them away, pretending to reprimand Run Liu, but actually satirizing the people next to him.Lin Xiangguo also called General Feng over and reprimanded him a few words.

It's like turning the page.

There was peace here, so Mingcha turned back to look for his pendant, and seeing Taifu Zhang holding it, he walked over to thank him.

But after Ming thanked him, Zhang Ruiyi didn't let go of it for a long time, holding the pendant in his hand, he asked: "May I ask General Ming, is this item kept by a lady?"

Mingcha looked at him suspiciously, and said honestly, "This is left by my mother."
