Those who come can still be chased [rebirth]

Rong Yanfang met Liang Ji's gaze as soon as he went out, and couldn't help chuckling: "General Liang is really cautious."

With that said, Rong Yan pointed to Fang Qu behind him with a complicated expression, "Master Fang is still alive!"

Liang Ji didn't answer, watched him close the door before asking: "Do you want to take back the throne?"

The nonsensical sentence made Rong Yan stunned on the spot. He squinted at Liang Ji and said contemptuously: "You Xu people are really good at eavesdropping. But, do you want to do it again? What does it have to do with you?"

"You..." Liang Ji turned his gaze to Rong Yan's neck. There was a dry bloodstain on his fair skin. He frowned, "Are you injured?"

Only then did Rong Yan remember, he casually touched the wound, gave Liang Ji a cool look, and left without looking back.

Liang Ji stared at Rong Yan's back, was silent for a while, and followed.

In the following days, Rongyan was much more peaceful. From sunrise to sunset, he took a walk accompanied by his guards, and spent the rest of the time reading in his room, without any overstepping.

It's early autumn, when the red and green are fading, adding a bit of depression to the posthouse built with carved railings and jade.

Liang Ji went to the post house as usual after getting up in the morning, and after a routine inspection, he found that Rong Yan's room was empty and no one was there. Seeing his silence, the accompanying guards explained: "The young master probably didn't sleep well last night, so he got up early and went to the garden Now, with our people following, the general needn’t worry.”

"understood."

In the past few years, the state of Xu has grown, and the number of envoys and merchants from other countries has increased. In order to make them adapt to the life in Longcheng, Emperor Shouguang ordered people to add many items to the posthouse, and even sent people to make a special trip from the Southern Wei Dynasty. A few osmanthus trees were transported and planted in the garden.

Rong Yan sat on a stone bench in the garden, watching the gardener pruning the branches of the osmanthus trees intently. Xu Ren treated these osmanthus trees with care, but Rong Yan knew in his heart that all this was in vain.

The autumn cold in Longcheng is not as mild as in the south, and these osmanthus trees did not survive this winter in the end.

When he came to Longcheng at the beginning of the year, Rong Yan still couldn't adapt to the climate here.Especially when the weather is getting colder and the flowers and plants are withering, it seems that all vitality has disappeared, which makes Rong Yan who is alone in a foreign land feel even more lonely, until...he gets to know Liang Ji well.

Knowing that Liang Ji, who grew up in the north, had never seen sweet-scented osmanthus, Rong Yan had been waiting for these trees to grow up, but unfortunately, none of them survived that winter.

Rong Yan felt regretful at the time, but soon he comforted himself. There were osmanthus trees everywhere in the Southern Wei Dynasty, and he would always have the opportunity to take Liang Ji with him.

But I didn't expect that he, like those osmanthus trees, would have no future.

It may be because I didn't sleep well the night before and my spirits were low, so I was easily reminded of the past by these osmanthus trees.Rong Yan walked away to pay attention, the gardener over there had finished pruning, and while tidying up things, he raised his eyes to look at the young man who had been watching him all morning.

Rong Yan didn't care, and smiled at him, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a tall figure not far away.

In the past few days, I have always seen Liang Ji in the post house. This person has always been conscientious, and Rong Yan is not surprised. He casually looks away and leans on the stone table with his eyes closed.

Although the climate in Xu State is cold, there are always some merits—no matter what season the sun always hangs above the head, it is much more comfortable than the year-round rainy days in the south, especially in this season, when the autumn wind is getting cooler, in It is very comfortable to sit in the warm sunshine for a while.

Rong Yan slowly fell asleep.

Liang Ji was still standing there, his eyes turned from Rong Yan to a few osmanthus trees a few steps away.

The guards came in a hurry, Liang Ji took a few steps to the side, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

"General, His Royal Highness sent someone to bring up this young master, saying that he will interrogate him personally." The guard unconsciously lowered his voice, and carefully glanced in Rong Yan's direction, "If you are worried, my subordinate Go with me?"

Liang Ji followed and looked over, Rong Yan leaned on his arm, breathing lightly, and had already fallen asleep.

"No need." Liang Ji withdrew his gaze, "Tell the visitor that no one can take him away without His Majesty's will."

The guard hesitated for a while, and did not dare to ask Liang Ji any more.

Rong Yan slept in the garden, the most peaceful sleep since his rebirth, and it was almost noon when he opened his eyes again. Rong Yan looked around and found the guard under the tree not far away: "Is it time for lunch? , what do you eat today?"

The guard was relieved when he woke up, and he hesitated immediately after hearing his question: "Your lunch may be a little later today...His Royal Highness wants to see you."

Prince Gao Cong...

Rong Yan smiled: "Okay!"

The guards hurried all the way to the front yard, and as soon as they reached the entrance of the main hall, they heard the sound of cups falling to the ground, followed by Liang Ji's emotionless voice: "Bring another cup of tea to His Royal Highness."

"Liang Ji!" Gao Cong said angrily, "I am investigating this matter at the order of my father, what do you mean by blocking left and right?"

"The last general dare not." Liang Ji replied lightly, "I have already gone to invite you, Your Highness, please be patient."

"Don't think that I don't know what your plan is! Aren't you just afraid that I will steal Gao Chun's limelight?!" Gao Cong snorted coldly, "Liang Ji, I just can't figure it out. The three of us obviously grew up together. Speaking of friendship, I have been to Taiwei's Mansion more often, why are you standing on Gaochun's side?"

"The last general..."

Rong Yan's footsteps paused, and he suddenly pushed open the door and interrupted Liang Ji's words: "His Royal Highness!"

"Who told you..." Gao Cong turned his head, "Are you that assassin?"

"Assassin? Well, it can be considered." Rong Yan turned his eyes around the room, and paused for a while on Liang Ji's face on the other side, "I'm King Wei Guoxuan, Rong Yan."

"Whether your identity is true or not remains to be discussed." Gao Cong took the new teacup from the servant, slightly raised his jaw, "I'm here today to investigate this matter."

Rong Yan tilted his head in confusion: "Didn't His Royal Highness ask about that day?"

Gao Cong's face darkened, and he put the teacup in his hand back heavily on the table: "He can ask, but I can't ask?"

Rong Yan seemed to be taken aback by his inexplicable anger, and then laughed: "It's no big deal again, why is Your Highness so angry." He shook his shoulders while speaking, "It's just that I'm a little tired from standing still. , sit down and say Your Highness doesn't mind?"

Gao Cong let him sit down with a soft snort, and went back to get the teacup, but there was a hand at his side that was one step ahead of him. Looking at the culprit, he asked, "Liang Ji, what do you mean?!"

Liang Ji glanced at the fragments on the ground that hadn't been cleared up in time: "This set of cups is the private collection of Yicheng, Your Highness is merciful."

"..."

Gao Cong stared at Liang Ji for a while: "The man has already been brought here, you are not needed here."

"At the end of the day, the post will be guarded by the order of the sage." Liang Ji raised his hand and held the long sword at his waist, with his back straight, without any intention of retreating.

"You have to protect Gao Chun when you fight when you are young, and you have to meddle in his business when you grow up. Sooner or later, you will regret it." Gao Cong pointed at him, leaned back in the chair, and turned to Rong Yan, "Go ahead. "

Rong Yan sat down on his own, raised his head to meet Gao Cong's gaze, and said, "What does Your Highness want to know?"

Gao Cong didn't really want to ask Rong Yan anything more when he came here today. After all, there was no news from the Southern Wei Dynasty, so it would be superfluous to question Rong Yan any more.It was only half a year ago that Gao Chun led a large army to conquer the Southern Wei Dynasty and conquered more than ten cities. Afterwards, the peace talks and the reception of the embassy were also handled by Gao Chun as a matter of course.

King Ji has great momentum in the court, and he has to do something as a prince.

Gao Cong stared at Rong Yan's face for a while: "How many sons does your father have?"

Rong Yan was stunned: "What?"

Gao Cong knew that he didn't hear clearly, propped his chin with one hand, and tapped the knuckles of the other hand on the table, clearly urging him.

Rong Yan glanced at him, and didn't ask him why he asked this, and replied: "The old man has few heirs, and now I am the only one left."

"Just you?" Gao Cong glanced suspiciously, seeing his open eyes, he didn't doubt it, "One is fine, at least you don't have to worry about your father favoring others."

Rong Yan shook his head: "The old man has never liked me."

"My father doesn't like me either." Gao Cong said, and glanced at Liang Ji, "Even some people don't take me seriously."

Gao Cong's words are a bit exaggerated. Emperor Shouguang and Empress Zheng were young couples, and they had a deep love and harmony. As their first son, Gao Cong enjoyed all the favors since he was born. The emperor has succeeded to the throne, and there are countless beauties in the harem, and he has no time to take care of his wife, mother and children. It was not until Gao Chun entered the court in recent years, and he was thoughtful and proper, that Emperor Shouguang treated him differently, but that's all.

Gao Cong's daring to say such a thing today is clearly out of pride.

Rong Yan didn't point it out, just smiled slightly: "Your Highness is the legitimate prince, so why worry?"

Gao Cong spread his hands, with an indifferent expression on his face: "Is there anything to worry about, just say it casually, do you take it seriously?" Having said that, he stretched his arms and stretched his waist without manners, "I promised today It's almost time to have lunch with my mother."

Rong Yan stood up and nodded to him: "Congratulations."

Gao Cong glanced at him: "You don't have any doubts?"

Rong Yan asked back: "What do you think I should be suspicious of, Your Highness?"

Gao Cong looked at him, showed a playful smile, and shook his head: "Bengong is gone!"

Rong Yan stood in place watching Gao Cong leave, then lazily sat back on his chair, and asked the guard who had been guarding outside, "Can we have lunch now?"

Liang Ji, who was still in the room but was ignored, glanced at him: "Your identity is sensitive, and it is not appropriate to have too much contact with His Highness the Crown Prince."

Rong Yan's expression froze for a moment, and then he mocked: "It seems that His Royal Highness is right. The general really cares about everything for His Royal Highness Ji. But even if I am forced to come to your Xu country, I will still be in the Southern Wei Dynasty. King Xuan, isn't your Excellency a right-hand man too lenient?"

Seeing Liang Ji frowning, Rong Yan added: "If Your Majesty only asks You to guard the posthouse, Your Excellency should not appear in front of my eyes all day long." He touched his right wrist, With a cold tone, "It's really annoying."
