Those who come can still be chased [rebirth]

Just as Sun Yi was about to reply, there was a "creak" sound behind him—the dilapidated wooden door of the restaurant was pushed open from the inside, and Rong Yan, who was full of food and drink, came out of the shop with a smile.

The three of them looked at each other and were all stunned on the spot.

Rong Yan glanced over the faces of these two people, looked back at the restaurant behind him, and smiled softly: "What day is it today, why are you all gathered here?"

"I was just surprised why Master Sun came here from the east of the city to eat." Liang Ji said, "I didn't expect to meet His Highness again. It seems that although this restaurant is remote, there is a mystery inside."

"Mystery is nothing. I heard people say that this store is from Wei State, so I wanted to try it. I didn't expect that even Mr. Sun had heard of it." Rong Yan smiled at Sun Yi as he spoke. He smiled, "So Master Sun also likes to eat Wei dishes?"

Sun Yi glanced at Rong Yan with an impatient expression on his face, but he didn't know if it was because of Liang Ji's presence, so he replied: "There is a servant in the mansion who lives near here, saying that this restaurant has a light taste. Not bad, so come and taste it. Is it Wei Cai?"

"That's it!" Rong Yan blinked, "I thought Master Sun was from Wei just like me!"

Sun Yi frowned slightly, and before he could speak, Rong Yan laughed again: "It's just a joke, Master Sun, don't mind, let's go in while there are few people in the shop and it's clean."

Sun Yi really didn't want to waste any more time with these two, so he just turned around and left.Rong Yan stared at his back for a while, then turned around to find that Liang Ji was also looking thoughtfully at the shop door that had just been closed.

Rong Yan coughed lightly: "General Liang continues to watch Master Sun off, I'll go first."

Liang Ji turned his head, his eyes fell on Rong Yan's face, and Rong Yan met his eyes, always feeling that those familiar eyes were hiding emotions that he couldn't understand at the moment.

He couldn't help closing his eyes, and turned to leave, Liang Ji said behind him: "Sun Yi is from Wei."

Rong Yan paused, and looked back at Liang Ji.

"When the king of the Ji Dynasty led the army to attack Wei and saved his life in the chaos, there has been no details about his life experience." Liang Ji stared, "Sun Yi is indeed resourceful and decisive. People are vicious and fierce, and they must be judged. No matter what your plans are, don't have too much contact with them."

Rong Yan glanced at Liang Ji, but said nothing.

No one knows Sun Yi's life experience better than Rong Yan.

He was originally an ordinary scholar near the capital, studying hard to get ahead.It's just that in the past two years, there have been frequent turmoil in Wei State. In order to avoid the flames of war, Sun Yi had to leave his hometown and move his family to the Xu Wei border.Unexpectedly, he encountered a rebel army on the way to escape, his family was ruined, and his right hand was cut off.

Rong Yan thought of this, and unconsciously grasped his right wrist again. The small movement immediately attracted Liang Ji's attention, and he frowned, "What's wrong with your wrist?"

"It's nothing." Rong Yan let go, straightened his sleeves casually, and glanced at Liang Ji, "I'm leaving."

Liang Ji looked at him quietly, seeming to have something to say, but in the end he just nodded, "Alright."

Liang Ji stood where he was, watching the people walking around the streets and alleys, and finally looked away.He glanced at the restaurant behind him, grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist with his right hand, and a chill permeated from the corners of his eyes and brows. After a long time, he took a deep breath, turned and walked in another direction.

Even if he lived in Longcheng for decades, Rong Yan still couldn't adapt to the winter here.Wrapped in a heavy cloak, he walked all the way into the mansion under the warm sunlight on his head, but still felt the cold wind blowing his bones.

The steward stood at the gate of the mansion and looked around, he seemed relieved to see Rong Yan come back, and immediately came forward to meet him.

Rong Yan pulled the hood on his head, revealing half of his face: "What's the matter?"

"It's...it's not a big deal, but the villain is really..." The steward hesitated, pointed back at the mansion, "Young master, let's see for yourself."

Rong Yan followed him to the courtyard, and before he crossed the threshold, he heard the sound coming from inside, and couldn't help but look at the steward strangely: "Why is the mansion so lively today, you recruited people so quickly? arrive?"

The steward's face was full of words, but he didn't speak.

Rong Yan squinted his eyes, and strode into the gate of the courtyard—there were a few extra guards in the small courtyard that was originally relatively clean, and they were busy busily gathering together at the moment.

Rong Yan stopped in his tracks and asked in surprise, "What are you guys doing?"

The movements of the guards' hands stopped immediately, and after saluting Rong Yan, they retreated without saying a word, leaving only an empty yard, and an extra half-human tall dog out of thin air. snow lion.

The steward watched the guards leaving, and then went up to Rongyan and explained: "After you left, those people came and started shoveling the snow without any explanation. After asking for a long time, the villain only said that they were ordered .After all, they are the guards, villains..."

Rong Yan stared at the snow lion in silence.

Compared with the one in Liang Ji in the morning, this one in front of him is more lifelike, with a majestic look between its eyebrows and eyes, just like the one that Rong Yan saw in the Prince's Mansion back then.

"That's it." Rong Yan kicked the snow beside his feet and said, "How can you stop what Su Wei wants to do?"

The steward nodded repeatedly, and walked around the snow lion several times, amazed at the same time, but couldn't help wondering: "But son, why did they pile up such a snow lion in our mansion?"

"Who knows." Rong Yan pursed his lips, "Maybe it's because of someone's whim."

He tugged at the cloak on his body, and glanced at the snow lion again: "I'm going in."

"Then this snow lion..."

"Just let it sit here and fend for itself."

In the middle of the night, the whole house fell silent.

Rong Yan was holding a sleeve stove in his arms, leaning against the charcoal basin to read a book, suddenly a very light footstep came from the roof, and the next moment, someone knocked lightly on the closed window twice.

Rong Yan sat up straight, put down the book in his hand: "Come in."

Li Ye flipped into the house with ease, and closed the window tightly with his hands back.

"Why did you come here suddenly?" Rong Yan pointed to the charcoal basin, "It's cold all over, let's warm up to the fire."

"My subordinate saw that there were guards guarding outside today, and I didn't know what happened, so I came to check." Li Ye moved closer to the charcoal basin, "Just now, my subordinate came in during the interval between their shifts, and was not found."

Rong Yan smiled, shook his head lightly, he got up and poured a cup of hot tea: "Liang Ji found you last night. If he hadn't told you, you might have been arrested and taken to Suwei Mansion by now."

Li Ye was stunned, and knelt down on one knee: "This subordinate is incompetent."

Rong Yan helped him up, and stuffed hot tea into his hand: "He has been in charge of Longcheng Suwei for many years, if he is followed by others and can't be found, then he is incompetent - I didn't intend to hide your existence from Xu Ren ,do not worry about it."

Li Ye took a sip of tea, and the chill all over his body slowly dissipated, he hesitated, "Then can this subordinate stay by His Highness' side from now on?"

"Although Mr. Xu is willing to help me, he is on guard against me. After all, I am a hostage under the fence. It is better for you to be in the dark than to put both of us under Mr. Xu's eyes and watch their faces live." Rong Yan thought, " Have you found a place to live?"

"Not yet. But Longcheng is so big, it's not difficult to find a vacant house." Li Ye replied, "Your Highness, don't worry."

Rong Yan looked at him for a while, and suddenly said without thinking: "Today I went to a restaurant opened by a couple from Wei. I haven't eaten Wei cuisine for a long time, and I really miss it."

Li Ye looked at Rong Yan blankly, not understanding why he suddenly mentioned this.

"When chatting with the shopkeeper after the meal, I heard him mention that his wife was just pregnant, and he wanted to find another helper so that his wife could give birth to a baby, but after all, they opened this restaurant to make ends meet. No one else." Rong Yan patted Li Ye's arm, "So I mentioned you to him."

"We will probably stay in Xu for a long time. You can't live in those abandoned houses and ruined temples all day long. That couple is kind, and you will have a decent home when you go there." Rong Yan also poured himself a glass. Tea, took a sip slowly, "If I want to contact you, there is a place to go."

Li Ye thought for a while, then nodded: "The subordinate will go tomorrow."

"En." Rong Yan tapped the table lightly with his fingertips, "I also met an acquaintance in that restaurant today—Qi Ke also arrived in Longcheng at some point."

Li Ye suddenly raised his head: "He also saw His Highness?"

"I see, we also talked about the old days." Rong Yan glanced at Li Ye's expression and smiled slightly, "What are you worried about? If he has the intention to kill me, you and I will not live today. He went to Long He didn’t come to the city for me—it’s said that he was looking for his younger brother.”

Li Ye frowned: "Young brother? Isn't his whole family..."

"It is said that he was born in his father's waifu, and he was raised in a Taoist temple since childhood." Rong Yan stroked the cup in his hand, and sighed softly, "When you are idle in the city, please help to inquire about them. This is the only thing left in the bloodline, I... have to help him."

Sensing the gloom in Rong Yan's tone, Li Ye couldn't help but comfort him: "My lord, don't blame yourself for this. The disaster of the Qi family was caused by... and has nothing to do with you."

"Then it was only Qi Dong who resisted the decree at the beginning, didn't he still implicate Qi's family?" Rong Yan shook his head lightly, "Father killed more than seventy people, how could I be innocent?"

"But the first emperor has already paid the price for this." Li Ye said in a low voice, "Qi Ke's rebellion led to chaos in the country and the fall of the capital. The identity of the golden branch and jade leaf has fallen to today...there is no debt to their Qi family."

"Father and emperor continued to use violence/government, disregarding the life and death of the people, and domestic rebellions continued. Although Qi Ke was the one with the largest force, he was not the one who captured the capital in the end." Rong Yan sighed lowly, "My mother, the queen and the others ...If Qi Ke took the lead in capturing the capital that day, perhaps their lives could be saved."

Speaking of this, Rong Yan's thoughts drifted a little, and he unconsciously thought of the fire that filled the city on the day the capital fell.When he woke up in this life, he had escaped from the capital city, and it was obviously a memory from his previous life, but it seemed to be engraved in his mind.

"If I had died with them that day, maybe I wouldn't have to use all the tricks like this to linger on."

"Your Highness!"

Rong Yan turned his head to see Li Ye's face full of anxiety, and smiled lightly: "Let me just say, how can I be willing to die after finally living to this day?"

He got up and opened the window, "It's getting late, let's go back."

Li Ye looked at Rong Yan carefully, and was relieved when he saw that his expression was normal, and left through the window.

Rong Yan stood at the window and glanced into the courtyard under the moonlight. The upright snow lion was squatting on the porch, looking majestic as if he was guarding someone.

Rong Yan slightly turned his eyes to the small and delicate little snow lion squatting beside the big snow lion.

He unconsciously picked the window lattice, hooked the corners of his lips, showed a slight smile, and closed the window with his hand.

It was a good night's sleep.
