King and General untie their battle robes

Ruan Xi was dragged out by him, raised his eyes and looked forward, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know what was in his mind, so he kept silent after all, and obediently followed Bian Youli's direction.

From the day when there was still a little twilight to the night, Ruan Xi let Bian Youli lead him forward without saying a word. It seemed that there were only the two of them left in the palace tonight. guard.

There is no one, only shadowy flowers and trees along the way, which cannot be seen clearly at night, there are no lights on the side of the road, only a round of bright moon gradually rising from the sky, its brilliance is like frost.

Bian Youli dragged Ruan Xi along the way, and after stopping, he actually reached Linghua Hall.

Ruan Xi followed Bian Youli to a stop without knowing why, and looked at him silently.

Speaking of which, Bian Youli has not been back to this place for a long time.

Why did you come here tonight?

The questions are all in my heart and on my lips, but there is only endless silence in the air.

"What time is it?" Bian Youli asked suddenly.

Ruan Xi was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously looked at the sky: "Xu Shi Mo."

Bian Youli said something in a low voice, then looked at Ruan Xi: "Have you not eaten yet?"

Ruan Xi nodded, since Yuan He delivered the letter to Changtai Hall, he really hasn't eaten anything.

Bian Youli smiled slightly: "It's just right, let's have a drink with me."

After entering the door, I saw that the Linghua Hall was actually bright.

The exquisitely carved glazed wind lanterns and candles of various colors carved with exquisite pictures and texts are all lit countless, and the hanging lamps are hung high, and the lights are as bright as the day.

It looks like it has been painstakingly arranged.

But why do you want to do this?

What's even more strange is that the inner hall is only separated by a door, but there is almost no light, only a few candles are lighted casually on the table.There were some wine, vegetables and snacks on the table, and the rest was wine, one jar after another, and I don't know how many were brought from the warehouse.

When Ruan Xi saw the wine, his first reaction was that Bian Youli had something to worry about, and then he said: "Drinking too much wine will hurt your health, if you have any unpleasantness, don't use it to relieve your sorrow, it will be useless."

Bian You absent-mindedly agreed, told him to sit down, and immediately pushed away the wine glass on the table and put a jar of wine on it: "Drink with me."

Ruan Xi frowned and said, "What are you doing..."

"Shh, don't ask." Bian Youli raised a finger in front of him, "Do you want to drink?"

Ruan Xi hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

He still couldn't refuse, even though the Taifu had told him that Bian Youli might be used by Lin Zhongshi now, which might be against him.

I still feel that as long as it's Bian Youli...it's impossible.

Bian Youli just persuaded this at the beginning, and didn't say much after that, Ruan Xi started to drink himself, and gradually became a little drunk.

Using the wine as an excuse and getting drunk as an excuse, when Ruan Xi looked at Bian Youli, he finally dared to show a little bit of the emotion hidden in his heart, cast it in his eyes, and it turned into a fiery heat that was sometimes blurred and sometimes tangled.

The scene in front of me began to double, blurred, and I couldn't see clearly.

Ruan Xi held the wine jar in one hand and supported his head in the other, feeling a little weak.

But when he looked up and saw Bian Youli, he still couldn't bear to look away.

Thinking about it carefully, this was the first time he saw Bian Youli wearing such a brightly colored dress, but it was not the gaudy kind, but a serious and solemn color scheme.

It seems to be doing a big thing, even the clothes must not be sloppy.

"... Floating green?"

This call, Ruan Xi did not know how many times, Bian Youli did not know how many times he heard it, but at this moment, something is different.

It seems that there are indescribable feelings covered in it, so when Ruan Xi calls out, he can feel some thoughts as small and flexible as silk, which are densely entwined and formed into a ball, finally making these indistinguishable Subtle things show their form.

Bian Youli hummed softly, but Ruan Xi was five points out of his mind, and couldn't tell the difference between this answer and his usual one, so he just looked at Bian Youli suspiciously.

Bian Youli leaned forward and looked at Ruan Xi: "Are you tired?"

"what?"

"Stop drinking." Bian Youli snatched the wine glass from Ruan Xi's hand, suddenly looking a little irritable.

He looked back at the sky outside, there was a window beside the bed, with a small opening, and a small cluster of moonlight leaked in.

Ruan Xijiu was not angry when the wine was taken away, he simply put his head on both hands, still staring intently at Bian Youli, as if he couldn't see anything else in his eyes.

Bian Youli turned his head and met Ruan Xi's gaze, he couldn't help but startled for a moment, then got up and said, "Are you tired, do you want to rest?"

"Yes." Ruan Xi said without much hesitation.

Seeing that he was a little confused, Bian Youli paused for a moment, then took his hand, blew out the candle, and led him to the bedside to sit down: "Take off your coat and give it to me."

After taking Ruan Xi's clothes, Bian Youli hung them on the shelf at the head of the bed, which was within reach, and then turned around to let Ruan Xi lie on the unfolded quilt.

Seeing Ruan Xi lying down, he stood by the bed and thought for a while, then took off his coat and lay down himself.

"Ze'an, I originally..." Bian Youli turned his head to look at Ruan Xi, just said a few words in a low voice, but found that Ruan Xi had closed his eyes, as if he was asleep.

He sighed, turned his head to look at the curtain directly above, and squinted slightly.

But he didn't see that the eyelashes of the person beside him flickered a few times, and then turned his head to the side as if to cover up.

It was quiet at night, and the sound of the wind outside was particularly noticeable, rustling the branches and leaves.

I don't know how long it has passed, but the image of the moon has shifted a bit, but it doesn't seem to have changed.

The sound of the wind seemed to be different, Bian Youli suddenly opened his eyes, pressed one hand on the saber that was placed on the edge of the bed before lying down, and stretched the other hand under the pillow, propping himself up slightly with his elbow.

By the clear moonlight, he saw that Ruan Xi also opened his eyes, his gaze changed from dazed to clear, and in an instant, he was no longer drunk.

Seeing Bian Youli's hand stretched under the pillow, Ruan Xi froze almost imperceptibly, but before Bian Youli noticed it, he returned to normal.

He knew what was under there—

It was the dagger given to him by Bian Youli. Before that, Bian Youli had repeatedly instructed that the weapon should not be separated from the body, and should be placed under the pillow when sleeping.

Although he does not lack a self-defense weapon, but the dagger that Bian Youli gave him is still very different after all, and it has become a habit.

Is it because of Lin Zhongshi's medicine?

But in an instant, Ruan Xi calmed down almost strangely, and even thought with great interest: If something happened tonight, would Bian Youli have any other reaction?

Will it be uncomfortable, can you wake up?

But no matter what he thought, he didn't mean it at all—not at all.

It seems that I have already looked away from those things, or, I have become disheartened and don't want to get entangled in them anymore.

In the first few days, he lived a boring and helpless life, which was ridiculous and pathetic. He used the name of a king in vain, but it was actually useless.

Later, his forbearance finally had an effect, and he was able to compete with Lin Zhongshi, but he needed to do more.

The first time he did it, he met Bian Youli.

Since then, the fetters have deepened.

If it starts with him and ends with him, and goes from one kind of liberation to another kind of liberation, it is not impossible to say that it is a good beginning and a good end in a certain sense.

Bian Youli got up a little harder, and the dagger in his hand was about to be taken out, revealing a cold light from the scabbard.

Seeing his cautious look, Ruan Xi couldn't help but smile and was about to speak.

I want to tell him that it doesn't have to be.

Whatever you want, you can let go and take it.

However, when Bian Youli saw that Ruan Xi seemed to be about to speak, his expression suddenly became anxious.

He glanced directly between his hands, and probably found that he really couldn't make time, so he looked at the people around him again.

In order to stop Ruan Xi before he opened his mouth, Bian Youli didn't know what to think, maybe it was impulsive, maybe it was helpless, maybe it was uncontrollable.

He leaned over without thinking, and covered Ruan Xi's lips.

This shallow kiss didn't last long, Bian Youli seemed to have just realized it, and immediately moved his head away, with embarrassment in his ears, and no longer faced the person next to him directly, but lay down and turned to Ruan Xi's side, Whispered softly to him: "Don't make a sound."

In fact, Bian Youli's words are completely redundant.

Even if Ruan Xi was given a chance to speak freely, he couldn't say a word.

All he could think about was the face that had suddenly approached him just now.

The person who thinks about it day and night, cares about it all the time, and is always afraid to touch it, the face that hangs in his heart day and night, and has been depicted in his dreams countless times-so close.

So close that he couldn't even imagine it in his dreams.

But it was so real, so real that it seemed unreal.

Bian Youli finally pulled out the dagger under the pillow, held it silently, and slowly put it into Ruan Xi's hand near the window, then squeezed his hand tightly, signaling him to hold it.

Ruan Xi didn't expect that he would give it to him, so he was surprised for a moment, looked at Bian Youli, and expressed his questioning intent with his eyes.

The light and shadow of the moon became brighter and shone on Bian Youli's face.The frost-like brilliance set off his heavenly eyebrows and eyes, and a faint smile, without anything else, was enough to make Wan Fang lose color.

Reading Ruan Xi's eyes, Bian Youli silently replied with his mouth: "Wait a little longer."

Ruan Xi was already stunned anyway, he just nodded and stared at Bian Youli.

As if still in a dream, in a trance.

Time seemed to stop, and it seemed to fly by.I don't know if it was a few hours or just a blink of an eye, but the movements of the two people hardly changed, only the moon shadow moved slightly, leaving the original position.

A small piece of moonlight spread on the bed, forming a flat light spot, white and thin, bright and cold.

Suddenly something blocked the middle of the light spot, and it flashed over in an instant, as if everything was normal.

Immediately there was a crisp sound, right on the window where the moonlight came from, with a snap, it was an arrow nailed into the wooden window lattice.

The final chapter

Ruan Xi didn't know what this meant, but Bian Youli seemed to be relieved, and his whole body was obviously relaxed, but he was not completely at ease.

He sat up, stretched out his hand to open the window, pulled out the arrows nailed to the wood, looked at it for a while under the moonlight, and finally heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Okay, let's go out and have a look."

"Look at what?"

Bian Youli casually took off the coat on the shelf and handed it to Ruan Xi, put on the coat himself, took the long sword beside the bed, and chuckled lightly: "Look at the fun."

The outer hall is still brightly lit, and as soon as the door is opened, bright light will flood in, driving away the entire darkness of the inner hall.

There are still no palace people in the palace.

There seemed to be an unusual tranquility in the air, and the countless lights illuminated this tranquility too brightly, which brought out a little weirdness.

The closer you get to the gate of the temple, the more you hear the voices of some people talking.

But in the middle of the night, there was no one in the hall, so how could there be a lot of people outside?

Until Bian Youli opened the door and saw the scene outside, Ruan Xi seemed stunned and surprised.

He froze in place for a moment, staring blankly at the opposite side, and after a long while, he turned his head to look at the person next to him.

Bian Youli smiled slightly: "Aren't you always worried about him?"

Ruan Xi turned his gaze back again, looking down the stone steps.

Because Linghua Hall was very brightly lit, even though it was outside and the night was getting dark, it could still be seen clearly.

In the middle is Lin Zhongshi. At this moment, Mingcha tied his hands behind his back, knelt on the ground with his sword on his neck, raised his head and stared at the top, his eyes were full of resentment, but because his mouth was stuffed with a cloth, he couldn't speak. It can only be watched.

There are a group of people behind him, most of whom are military generals, surrounded by two or three people from Bian Youli's camp, all unarmed, dejected, with terrified and regretful faces.

Further outside, apart from the people in Bian Youli's camp, there were thousands of imperial troops that Mingcha had subdued these days, lined up on the outskirts in full armor, with weapons and soldiers in order.

Seeing Ruan Xi and Bian Youli coming out of the hall, all the generals knelt down and shouted to the two people at the top of the stone steps: "I have seen you, my lord! I have seen you!" General!"

Ruan Xi was still stunned, didn't move, and didn't ask them to get up.

Bian Youli waited for a while, but didn't see Ruan Xi speaking, so he couldn't help but look back at him.

Sensing Bian Youli's gaze, Ruan Xi subconsciously turned his head to look at him, but he still didn't speak, and it seemed that it was just an instinctive reaction, not a recovery.

Bian Youli paused for a moment before he wanted to speak, and simply said to the people below: "Brothers, get up, Mingcha, come here."

The generals didn't feel that there was anything wrong, so they stood up quickly, still standing straight with their swords in hand, carefully guarding the surrounded group of people in the middle.

Ming Cha signaled the people next to him to take the sword in his hand, put it on Lin Zhongshi's neck as it was, and ran straight up the stone steps.

"Your Majesty, General."

Bian Youli nodded: "Is it going well?"

Mingcha cupped his hands and said: "The general has a clever plan, and Lin Zhongshi really got the trick."

"It's not that I have a clever plan," Bian Youli said with a smile, "It's just that he is too conceited and impatient, and thinks he can do it without any mistakes, so he just needs to say a few words, and he will take action regardless."

"The general is too modest," Mingcha said with a smile, "otherwise, how could Lin Zhongshi be so obedient and follow our plan exactly?"

Bian Youli: "He is also exhausted... Where are your brother and my senior brother, any news?"

"It will be here soon. The rebels inside and outside the city have already taken care of it. I later let the imperial army pass a part of it, but they have done everything well and have already finished it."

"Everything will be safe now," Bian Youli said to Mingcha with a smile, "Brothers who have worked hard these days, you should go back and make arrangements and reward yourself."

"Yes," Ming Cha said, "General, how will Lin Zhongshi deal with this?"

Bian Youli pondered for a moment, looked at Ruan Xi, and gently pulled him: "Your Majesty?"

"……what?"

"This Lin Zhongshi, what do you want to do with it?"

Ruan Xi looked at Lin Zhongshi who was in a panic underneath, and suddenly felt dazed.

Bian Youli looked at his expression, and didn't wait for a reply, he directly said to Mingcha: "Put him in custody first, you bring someone to watch him personally, and we'll talk about it tomorrow morning."

Mingcha responded and ordered the Imperial Army to cooperate with the people in the army to escort the rebels away.

Most of the people were taken away dejectedly, but Lin Zhongshi refused to give in and struggled to leave.

Mingcha looked up at Bian Youli, saw that Bian Youli just nodded casually, and immediately understood that a sword was across Lin Zhongshi's neck.

As Lin Zhongshi kept struggling, he saw blood streaks ooze out along the blade.

Even though Lin Zhongshi has great courage and ambition, fortunately, he still knows that he is not a god, and he does not have an indestructible body that is not afraid of swords and weapons. He is just a flesh and blood body that cannot withstand this sharp weapon, and life is what he enjoys. The root of it cannot be lost.

At the sight of blood, he quickly calmed down.

Bian Youli watched Mingcha take Lin Zhongshi away indifferently.But unlike those who were taken away before, although Lin Zhongshi was destined to be a prisoner, there was no dejection in his eyes.

He was just unwilling, or rather outraged.

It seems that there is another way out - but this is impossible. In these days, his people have been quietly dealt with by Bian Youli, Jiang Yan and others. Provocations, if you can't do it, get rid of it.

Bian Youli thought about it carefully, and made sure that there would be no mistakes. He turned his head and looked at the person beside him with a smile.

The light from Linghua Palace diffused from the door, painted Bian Youli's face, and coated his picturesque eyebrows and eyes with a thin layer of gold, as if shimmering.

Reflected in the ink-like night, it seems ethereal, like a meteor passing by in the sky, so beautiful that it is difficult to retain, and only a momentary brilliance can remain.

Ruan Xi suddenly stretched out his hand to grab Bian Youli, but let go of it suddenly.

Bian You asked strangely, "What's wrong?"

Since Ruan Xi left the house, it was the first sentence he said: "It's okay."

"Then go in," Bian Youli said, "Let Ming Cha watch over Lin Zhongshi first, and we'll deal with him tomorrow."

The lights in the hall were too bright, and Bian Youli turned off half of the lights with his hands to soften the light.

He turned around and looked at Ruan Xi, who was still standing still not far away, and said with a helpless smile, "Come and sit down, can I explain to you?"

Ruan Xi hesitated for a moment, then walked to his side: "Why are there so many lights left?"

"Are there a lot?" Bian Youli looked around the hall, thought for a while, and said, "That's right, I was afraid that our activities inside would be seen, so I used light to cover it up. OK, let's go inside."

The inner hall is not lit, so the place to talk is naturally not at the table.

The two lay on the bed as they did before going out, Bian Youli was silent for a while, and whispered to Ruan Xi what happened these days.

From being stopped by Lin Zhongshi on the road, to Luo Feng's visit to Linghua Hall that day, and discovering Lin Zhongshi's hands and feet... Speaking of the subsequent steps, until tonight, the dust settled.

When he spoke, his tone was calm and calm, his words were concise and concise, and he tried his best to keep things calm in his narration. For some processes, he often explained them in just a few words.

But Ruan Xi knew that there must be more than that.

He has fought against Lin Zhongshi for a long time, and he knows what kind of person Lin Zhongshi is—suspicious, cunning, and vicious.

And Bian You has not been in the world for a long time, and it is not like he has been exposed to officials and political struggles since he was a child, and he is popular among officials.

There must be more embarrassments that have not been stated.

"... Lin Zhongshi let me get you drunk, he was so aggressive, I wanted to get you drunk too, uh," Bian Youli said hesitantly, "Later, I felt that it was not appropriate to let you know anything. "

Ruan Xi looked at him quietly, a ray of moonlight could vaguely see the man's face, not very clear, but it didn't hinder him either.

Bian Youli paused, and continued: "I also wanted to tell you before, but the Taifu that day... Later I thought, why don't I explain to you after it's over."

Fortunately, it finally came to this point satisfactorily.

it's over?

Ruan Xi looked at him without saying a word, repeating this sentence in his heart.

……End.

When he came back from the outside just now, he was also happy, but inadvertently, he suddenly thought of something.

At that time, he was afraid of hurting Bian Youli, although he was reluctant, he still said to let Bian Youli leave.

At that time, Bian Youli once said that he would wait until the matter of Lin Zhongshi was settled.

So... Is he trying so hard to leave as soon as possible?

The so-called end, does it mean that there is no further meaning for everything?

After Bian Youli finished talking about the incident, seeing that Ruan Xi still didn't speak, he couldn't help saying to him strangely: "Why are you so stunned? You shouldn't be happy that your serious problem has been solved?"

It's my worry, Ruan Xi thought, is it yours?

If true, should I let go?

It was obvious that Bian Youli was kept in the palace just to guard against Lin Zhongshi. At that time, he did not hesitate to deal with Lin Zhongshi.

But at this moment, Ruan Xi actually had a crazy idea—hope that Lin Zhongshi's remnants of crimes have not been wiped out, so that he can justifiably keep Bian Youli.

Ruan Xi was taken aback by his own thought, and came to his senses, wishing to give himself a break.

He looked at Bian Youli, forced a smile: "I'm naturally happy, I'm just thinking about something, and I'm in a daze."

Bian Youli leaned over suddenly, without a trace of sleepiness on his face, and looked at him with bright eyes: "Ze'an, what are you thinking?"

"It's nothing... Floating green."

"Well, you said."

Ruan Xi pursed his lips, and spoke slowly, as if under endless pressure: "You, you..."

"What am I?"

Ruan Xi looked at Bian Youli's face so close at hand, and suddenly remembered the day when they first met.

He has lived for many years, and there are countless beauties in the palace, but he has never seen anyone who can be so beautiful, like a fairy who has never been contaminated by mortal dust.

Such a person, who should have lived a pure life, has fallen into the vortex of conspiracy.

It's all because of me, Ruan Xi suddenly felt a sense of sadness - then what qualifications do I have to keep him and let him continue to struggle with me in this kind of life?

"You must have suffered a lot because of this."

Bian Youli blinked frankly: "It's very bitter."

Ruan Xi paused, he didn't expect Bian Youli to be so straightforward, he didn't answer for a moment, thought for a while and said: "Then, what should I do?"

Bian Youli laughed, his eyes almost glowing: "I heard that there is a Ribei Festival in Los Angeles, it's very interesting."

Ruan Xi had a clear understanding, and said with a slight smile, "Okay, I see."

Bian Youli seemed unbelievable: "You agreed?"

Ruan Xi seemed helpless, but also reluctant: "I agree."

Seeing Bian Youli's excited expression, Ruan Xi could only try his best to be as happy.But how could he not know that traveling far away was probably just to find a reason for leaving the palace.

Some partings are really hard to say directly, and we can only draw a sloppy ending in the form of going and not returning.

"You agreed so easily," Bian Youli thought for a while, but still had some doubts, "Won't Tai Tuo and Jiang Yan say anything?"

Ruan Xi was puzzled and asked, "What does it have to do with them?"

"Accompany me to play there," Bian Youli said as a matter of course, "They will definitely supervise the country, so there is so much trouble for nothing, don't they have any objections?"

Ruan Xi thought about his words in silence for a while, and said, "I... accompany you?"

Bian Youli was shocked and said: "Could it be that you have to go back on your word, you just agreed!"

"..." Ruan Xi smiled sincerely this time, "Don't regret it, don't worry, they have no objection."

Without Taifu and Jiang Yan knowing anything about it, they were entrusted with an important mission.

Although Jiang Yancai was doing his best to appease the people in the city and suppress the rebels outside the city, the Taifu also had endless worries every day.

——It didn't make King Ruan Xi hesitate even for a moment, which can be said to be very lamentable.

The depressed and melancholy mood just now disappeared in an instant, and Ruan Xi didn't care about whether other people were willing or not - he had to do it whether he wanted to or not.

Only this person beside him is the one he should always miss at this moment and in the future.

Bian Youli smiled at him, as if understanding the uneasiness buried deep in his heart, and gently held his hand where the two of them were lying next to each other.

Ruan Xi held it back instinctively, then his eyes flashed, and he turned to the inside suddenly.

Bian Youli didn't follow him, and pulled a little harder, insisting that he should look at him.

Ruan Xi had no choice but to turn around, and met Bian Youli's starry eyes.

Bian Youli's eyes were burning: "You won't regret it, will you?"

"...I'm afraid you will regret it."

"I won't." Bian Youli said firmly.

"Fu Qing..." Ruan Xi increased his strength, holding his hand tightly, his voice almost choked with tremors, "You said that it is not a gentleman's way to promise but not keep it."

Bian Youli blinked, smiled childishly and said, "Don't worry, I'm a gentleman."

Ruan Xi stared at him for a long time, then hugged him.

Bian Youli was caught off guard, so he could only hug him back.

One is used to parting, afraid of implicating the other party, so he tries his best to bear it; the other is new to the world, ignorant of human affairs, so he is confused.

Even so, they still couldn't resist the joy of communicating with each other that came from an unknown moment.

Since then, all the joys and sorrows on this road have been shared by others, and they are no longer lonely.

Fortunately.

——End of text——

Extra Story ([-])

After Ruan Xi dealt with Lin Zhongshi and the others, he really planned to put aside the state affairs with lightning speed and went out to play with Bian Youli.

When he went to the Jiang Manor to explain the matter, Jiang Yan's injury was no longer serious, his complexion was very good, and his mood was also very high. Hearing that the two of them were going to leave the palace to play, he smiled in agreement: "Go as you please. The adoptive father will just watch it for you."

Ruan Xiqi asked, "Aren't you going to stay?"

Jiang Yanqi asked: "I want to stay?"

Ruan Xi was stunned by his rhetorical question. After thinking about it, he felt that Jiang Yan's words seemed to make sense. Anyway, Lin Zhongshi had been eliminated, and now there was nothing unsettling in the country, and the Taifu alone was enough to deal with it.

Several people were talking, when Luo Feng opened the door and came in, brought some exquisite cakes and soup, the aroma was overflowing, and there was a faint smell of medicine.

He put the things in front of Jiang Yan, put away the spoon, put the chopsticks into Jiang Yan's hands, looked at Bian Youli and Ruan Xi and asked, "Where do you want to go?"

"I want to go to my brother's hometown," Bian Youli said, "I heard that the Ribei Festival is coming soon, so it should be interesting."

Luo Feng nodded: "The Ribei Festival is indeed interesting, and it's good for you to go and see it. But, Li'er...do you want to go back to the valley and have a look?"

"..." Bian Youli was stunned, and said in disbelief, "Brother, what did you say?"

"I said, do you want to go back to the valley?"

Bian Youli was deeply shocked by this question, he opened his mouth, but couldn't make a sound.

Why not?

It was the most beautiful piece of pure land in his memory, which carried the first ten years of his life, and never gave him half pain or darkness.

All are beautiful, good, and worth cherishing, and every bit of happiness is yearning and memorable.

But when he left the valley, he looked back at Taniguchi, and knew in his heart that the possibility of going back was very slim.

That departure, in his opinion, was already a farewell.

So now hearing Luo Feng's words, how can he deal with it calmly?

"Brother," Bian Youli stared at him, and said slowly, "What do you mean?"

Luo Feng: "I have finished all the things that Master told me, we can go back to the valley to have a look."

"But I..." Bian Youli was stunned for a moment in surprise and joy, and said incoherently, "I don't know how to go back!"

Luo Feng smiled and said: "Don't worry about it, have you and the king just returned from the early court?"

The answer is naturally obvious, because both Ruan Xi and Bian Youli are still wearing court clothes.

They came to Jiangfu as soon as the morning court, and even Bian Youli went to the morning court once, which is enough to show how eager these two people are to go out and play.

Bian Youli nodded casually, and hurriedly asked: "How do I go back?"

Luo Feng looked at him amusedly for a while, his eyes fixed on the jade pendant on his waist.

This jade pendant was a gift from Ruan Xi before, because he felt that the red jade made in the general's court uniform did not suit Bian Youli, so he chose this pure white jade.

Seeing that Luo Feng kept looking at the jade pendant, Bian Youli simply took it off and handed it to Luo Feng for him to see: "Ze'an gave it to me, could it be that senior brother has seen it?"

Luo Feng didn't pick up the jade pendant, shook his head and said with a smile: "I've seen it before, I carved the words on it with my own hands, and it took me a whole night to carve."

Bian Youli was stunned by Luo Feng's words for a while, unable to speak, he could only express his doubts with his eyes and told him to speak quickly.

Even Ruan Xi felt that it was unexpected, and asked in surprise, "His Highness engraved it?"

Luo Feng: "The night before I left the valley, Master asked me to go to his room and told me to tell me something."

It was a seemingly ordinary night that almost changed his life.

Speaking of which, he would have been the most honorable man in the Luo Kingdom, possessing great lands and mountains, wielding supreme power, doing whatever he wanted, no one would dare to resist whatever he wanted.

But no one knew that what he wanted the most was lost without warning on a certain day.

He couldn't keep the boy who was engraved in his heart after all.

Jiang Yan's family had undergone great changes, but he didn't know anything about it. After he realized it, it was too late.

When he heard that all the members of the Jiang family were not spared, he, who had always been calm and polite, couldn't control his emotions at all.

If the elder sister hadn't arrived in time, he might have rushed out to do some outrageous things at that moment.

Then the eldest sister told him that Jiang Yan might still be alive.

Because the imperial army did not find Jiang Yan, they said that everyone in the Jiang family had been executed just to avoid being punished.

When Luo Feng heard that Jiang Yan was still alive, he finally regained his sanity, and hurriedly cleaned up those traitors so that Jiang Yan would not be found by them.

But still can't undo the tragedy.

——His letter had just been sent, and he lost the qualification to receive a response.

There is no news from Jiang Yan.

His mentor was killed, Jiang Yan disappeared, Luo Feng was disheartened from then on, and he had no interest in the throne he was about to inherit.

Coincidentally, that day, he met an old man.

It was his and Bian Youli's later masters.

What the master said at that time, Luo Feng couldn't remember clearly, it was nothing more than some words that invited him to leave the Luo country to get rid of his troubles, so godlike, if in the past, he might have taken him down directly in the name of deceiving people.

But at that time, he didn't care about these things at all, he just wanted to escape from reality, so he didn't ask carefully what he was going to do, whether to practice Buddhism or Daoism, he just followed without saying a word.

After living in the valley for a while, although he was depressed, he was not the kind of person willing to do nothing. In addition, he found that the master was really capable, so he devoted himself to learning from the master.

Not long after, the master went out to wander around the valley again, and brought a young boy with him when he came back.

Because in the valley, he also came into contact with some things that he didn't know before, such as astrology and divination, so when the master told him that the child's fate was also different, he didn't have much doubt and accepted it smoothly.

In the days that followed, Master often went out on business, and most of the time he came to take care of this child.

In the process of taking him, time passed day by day, and they all grew up gradually.

According to the rules, he can't stay.

That day he accompanied Bian Youli to finish his exercise, coaxed him to go back to rest, and went to the master's room by himself.

The master sat cross-legged in the middle of the secret room, with a piece of jade and a knife in front of him.

"Feng'er, there are some things that I want to say to you today as a teacher. You are a member of the Luo royal family, and it is precisely because of this that I accept you as an apprentice.

You know, the general trend of the world has been so long, and it is time to change.The Luo State has strong soldiers and strong horses, with a radius of thousands of miles, a large number of people, flat and fertile land, and no shortage of material resources.It's a pity that the treacherous officials in the court are in power, your sister is just a woman, and there is no outside family to consolidate power, and some things are inevitably beyond her control.

When you go back this time, don't reveal too much to your sister, but you need to worry about planning for her. "

Luo Feng heard what Master meant, that he wanted to help his sister win the world, and he couldn't help but said in a daze, "Master, eldest sister doesn't have such ambitions."

"It's not whether you are ambitious or not, Feng'er. If you don't do this, someone will do it. When the time comes, people will be devastated and the people will be in dire straits. I don't know how much it will cost in exchange for the unification of the country. But you have studied for so many years, you do it, The loss will be less."

Luo Feng was still at a loss, but after a while, he finally realized something.

What he has achieved and what he has is also what he has to bear.

Whether it's for the hard work of these years, for his status as a descendant of the Luo royal family, or for the teachings he has received and the beliefs he has formed.

Can not refuse.

Luo Feng silently figured it out, and asked again: "Master, I know that's why you taught me, so Li'er..."

"I'm just going to tell you that if Li'er appears in the luck of Jing Country, there may be changes, so when he leaves the valley, I will take him away from Jing Country. The jade orders you need to use to return to the valley are all here , I already gave you yours. You carve Li'er, take it back after you carve it, and find a way to send it to Jingguo."

"But didn't you say that Li'er is not allowed to go to Jing Country?"

"Yes, just keep him from getting in touch with these things. In a troubled world, how can we be ignorant and carefree, and live a safe life?"

……

Luo Feng looked at Bian Youli, and said: "After Master finished speaking, I carved it overnight, and the next morning I brought the jade order back to Luo Country, mixed it with the gift list, and sent it to Jing Country."

"No wonder," Bian Youli said in a daze, "Master's reaction was so wrong when he heard me say that we are in Jing Country."

It turned out to be the case.

Luo Feng laughed and said, "Master is trying to stop you, but you still came."

"Then I, did I disrupt your plan?"

Master wants Luo to rule the country, and brother has been planning for this for many years, but now the situation has become like this... is it all because of him?

Bian Youli looked at Luo Feng anxiously.

"No, it's me
