King and General untie their battle robes

The carriage sent by Lin Xiangguo parked gracefully outside the barracks, and the drivers and servants were all respectful and respectful. They didn't have the scoundrels they had when they touched porcelain for the first time, and they seemed amiable.

Since the other party had such an attitude, Bian Youli went down the donkey, got into the cart, and followed them to the Lin residence.

Lin Xiangguo probably had great trust in his own medicine. After inviting Bian Youli this time, he no longer concealed it when he talked, and stopped talking about those high-sounding truths, and directly revealed his intentions. .

It seems that Bian Youli will definitely join his pirate ship.

Because before going out, Luo Feng had explained in detail how the Chinese medicine practitioner should react if the medicine was not cured.After Bian Youli kept it in his heart, he played a scene with Lin Zhongshi to the extent that he thought about it, and there was a faint hint of compromise between what he said.

Bian Youli may be very talented, and he is very successful in acting.Lin Xiangguo had no doubts at all, and was extremely happy throughout the whole process. In the end, he sent Bian Youli out of the house with a smile on his face, not forgetting to provoke him a few more times.

"General, you should stand upright in the world, and you must not be fooled by ignorant villains."

Bian Youli agreed with a smile, went out from Lin Xiangguo's residence, politely declined his hospitality, and walked back on foot.

In early spring, the flowers are not in full bloom, the air is half cold and half warm, and the wind is still slightly chilly.

It seems to be lunch time right now, and there is wind on the road, so there are not many pedestrians on the street.

The shops on the street have drawn tight wind-shielding curtains. Occasionally, a head is poked out to see if there are customers outside the curtains, and then retracted. Few people are willing to endure the feeling of being warm and cold.

Bian Youli was walking on the street of Qiongning City, with no one accompanying him. Behind him was the prime minister's mansion that he didn't want to go but still went, and in front of him was the destination he wanted to return to but couldn't for the time being.

For a while, there were very few.

Fortunately, when this disturbing emotion was not long, he followed the wind and ran away to the sky. He walked for a while, thinking of the threat from Lin Xiangguo's side, and the precarious situation on Ruan Xi's side, the useless desolation in his heart naturally disappeared. leave room.

There are still many things to do, and there is no time to hurt the spring and the autumn.

After returning, Bian Youli discussed with Luo Feng and Jiang Yan, and with his pretentious skills and Lin Zhongshi's blind trust in the medicine, he finally approached their forces step by step.

Lin Zhongshi was not idle either. While approaching Bian Youli cautiously and boldly, he stepped up to spread the rumors about Bian Youli when he entered the palace, causing many people inside and outside the palace to look at Bian Youli in the wrong way.

Several months have passed in a flash, and the feeling of spring has deepened. Sometimes the sun is brighter, and it almost looks like early summer.

Bian Youli went to the palace less and less, and the group of people in the court who were used to the king being inseparable from the general all smelled some unusual news.

Ruan Xi didn't say anything, he cared for Bian Youli as always, responded to every request, and indulged him even more.

But gradually there were voices in the court that hadn't appeared for a long time. These words had been heard half a year ago, but they subsided later, and now they are making a comeback.

They began to question whether Ruan Xi's actions were correct or not, and whether Bian Youli had ulterior motives.

It was groundless and intensified.

Regarding the rumors in the court, Ruan Xi seemed indifferent and still went his own way.

The ministers were also helpless, whenever the general was involved, the king was always like this, and they were all used to it.

Even though it appeared to be safe and sound, the people of Qiong Ning City felt that something unusual seemed to be happening this spring day, and it might be difficult to deal with it.

The grass grows and the warblers fly, and the spring flowers are blooming.

At this time last year, Bian Youli buried his master, and since then embarked on an unimaginable path.

There is nothing on this road, but nothing is missing.

He stumbled, fumbled forward, crossed rivers and crossed roads, and finally came across a little bit of light vaguely.

The end of the light is probably the end of the road.But the road was not easy to walk, and he couldn't be accompanied by anyone, so he had to work hard to pass.

But that beam of light, standing far ahead, is so attractive to him.

Even if there are open guns and dark arrows on the way, wind, frost, rain and snow, it is nothing.

Early in the morning, Bian Youli and Luo Feng went to the west of the city to pay homage to their ancestors.

The two of them each wore plain white clothes, without pearls or jade accessories, and rode their horses to the riverside.

The bank is full of greenery, the spring breeze in the morning is not warm enough, and the water on the river is trembling and flowing leisurely.

The dead are like this, it seems that they have never changed.

Only the world and the affairs of the world are changing from day to day and going back and forth.

Bian Youli took out a few plates of offerings from the food box and arranged them neatly, while Luo Feng took out a few jars of wine and put them beside them.

"Master," Luo Feng said softly to Jiang Shui after knelt down, "I'm not filial. I have all my medical skills, but I can't see you off for the last time."

Bian Youli knelt beside him, didn't speak, just followed Luo Feng to worship Jishou again, and then looked up at the water in front of him.

A year ago, he knelt here and experienced unprecedented regret and hopelessness.

Today, in the old place and the old scene, he is no longer as full of bewilderment as he was when he first entered the world.

The direction of his heart finally made him understand some principles of life.

"Senior brother," Bian Youli said slowly, looking at the water, "Have you done everything Master asked you to do?"

Luo Feng was slightly taken aback, then lowered his head and said, "It's coming soon."

Bian Youli nodded, knowing that he still didn't intend to explain to himself, so he said: "If I can help, brother just speak up."

"……okay."

They stayed by the river for less than an hour, then packed their things and returned to the city.Then Luo Feng went to Jiang Mansion, Bian You left the barracks, and planned separately.

It was just an ordinary morning, an ordinary trip.

But not everyone thinks so.

Bian Youli had always wanted to hide these things from Ruan Xi, but he only wanted to hide them from Ruan Xi.Because it was not easy to hide Ruan Xi's secrets, enough to restrain most of his mind.

Ruan Xi never really asked.

But his grand tutor Zhang Ruiyi was very suspicious of Bian Youli's actions.

Zhang Ruiyi had nothing to worry about about Jiang Yan, but the two people around Jiang Yan, Luo Feng was once the Highness of the enemy country, and Bian Youli was deeply involved in the recent rumors.

So he found someone to keep an eye on Bian Youli and Luo Feng, and he became even more worried when he learned that they had frequent contacts with Lin Zhongshi.

And after Bian Youli went to the west of the city with Luo Feng, he finally couldn't hold back the suspicion in his heart, he didn't return to the mansion immediately after the morning court, and went to Changtai Hall.

Ruan Xi had heard about the recent rumors in the court, and knew that Lin Zhongshi did it, but he couldn't figure out what his intention was.

Is it just to discredit Bian Youli?But this is no good.

He didn't understand until Zhang Ruiyi entered the palace with a worried look on his face.

"Teacher, what's the matter with you, what happened?"

Sitting opposite Ruan Xi, Zhang Ruiyi said solemnly: "Your Majesty, you can no longer trust the General."

Ruan Xi was stunned: "Why?"

"The king doesn't know that he has a close relationship with Lin Zhongshi recently? There is also Luo Feng beside him, that is His Royal Highness Luo Guo!"

"Luo Kingdom is gone," Ruan Xi retorted casually, "Compared with Fu Qing, Jiang Yan and Luo Feng have a much better relationship."

Zhang Ruiyi was stunned by his refutation, and hated that iron cannot be ironed: "Jiang Yan has known the king for many years, how could he do such a big treasonous thing? But Bian Youli has only come to Jing country for a year, and Luodi's surrender is even more difficult. For several months, the king has no worries at all?"

Ruan Xi nodded: "Gu thinks Tai Fu is too worried, if Fu Qing really does that, what is he planning?"

Zhang Ruiyi stood up anxiously: "Does the King not know about the rumors inside and outside the palace? Given Bian's talent and knowledge, how could he be willing to be humiliated like this?"

Ruan Xi's thoughts turned slightly, his eyes widened suddenly, and he looked up at the Grand Tutor, his eyes were full of sudden enlightenment.

It turned out to be the case.

This is provocation.

Lin Zhongshi slandered Bian Youli's reputation, but every word and every word involved himself. As Bian Youli was a general, he was revered and worshiped by thousands of soldiers, so he couldn't bear these rumors.

In this case, Lin Zhongshi can take this opportunity to drive a wedge between himself and Bian Youli, and win Bian Youli to his side.

Seeing that Ruan Xi finally responded, Zhang Ruiyi was overjoyed, and immediately started drafting, intending to make persistent efforts to persuade him.

But he didn't know that, after Ruan Xi thought about it, the first thought that popped into his mind was whether Bian Youli would be embarrassed by this.

Will he be disturbed by rumors?Is it because of this that I don't return to the palace often these days?

Ruan Xi felt that he might be in a daze. As a king, he should consider what the Taifu said, even if it was alarmist, he should take precautions.

But he just didn't believe it, not at all.

The only worry in his heart was that Bian Youli would be unhappy about it.

Ruan Xi didn't remember a word of the Taifu's later words, he agreed absently for a long time, and finally waited for the Taifu to leave, he immediately wanted to see Bian Youli, talk to him a few words, and explain.

But Bian Youli has not returned to the palace for a long time.

Ruan Xi sat in the hall for a long while, helpless for a while, not knowing what to do next.

Fortunately, Yuan He was considerate, and asked if she wanted to go to the barracks to see the general, and asked if he could come back some time.

It's a pity that Bian Youli still didn't come back.After Yuan He left, he came back and reported that the general had gone to Lin Xiangguo's mansion.

"Going to Lin Zhongshi's place again?" Ruan Xi was thankful that the Grand Tutor was not there, otherwise it would have been a rebuke, and then he frowned, "When did you go, and with whom?"

Yuan He shook his head ignorantly after asking three questions: "The servant did not ask."

Ruan Xi frowned even deeper. According to Yuan He's thoroughness in handling things, seeing Fu Qing's absence, he would definitely ask about his whereabouts, but he only knew that he had gone to the Lin Mansion.

Did the people in the army refuse to speak because they were instructed by Fuqing?

Ruan Xi thought for a while, and said to Yuan He: "Before the morning court tomorrow, you can tell General Mingcha to tell him not to rush away after the morning court, and to come to Changtai Palace first to see Gu."

After the morning court the next day, Mingcha really rushed to Changtai Hall quickly.

After entering the door, Ruan Xi kindly asked him not to be too polite, and then asked him about his daily life in Jiangfu, chattering a lot of gossip, and finally got to the point.

"Does the general go to Lin Xiangguo's residence every day?"

Mingcha seemed to have expected that he would ask this question a long time ago, he smiled knowingly, nodded and said: "Yes."
