Those who come can still be chased [rebirth]

In the early morning of the next day, the imperial edicts of Wei Guojian and Emperor Rongxuan came slowly, breaking the tranquility in the post house.

The in-depth conversation with Gao Chun the night before had consumed too much mind, Rong Yan didn't feel a little drowsy until dawn, and was awakened by knocking on the door before he could fully fall asleep, so he had to drag his unhealed body to the front yard.

Several well-known names in the mission were waiting here. Rong Yan's appearance probably reminded them of the assassination in front of the posthouse. Their eyes were full of vigilance, as if they were facing an enemy.

Rong Yan hooked his lips playfully, and walked straight to Fang Qu under the attention of everyone: "Master Fang, long time no see!"

Although they both lived in the same post house, the two did not see each other again after that day. Fang Qu lost a lot of weight. I don't know if he couldn't adapt to the climate of Longcheng. His face was a little whiter than that of the patient Rong Yan. When he saw Rong Yan walking in front of him, he frowned slightly, looked sideways, and ignored him.

Rong Yan didn't care, he casually glanced at the person delivering the decree a few steps away, approached Fang Qu and whispered: "Master Fang, do you think my prediction that day will come true?"

Fang Qu raised his eyes to the person delivering the decree, then looked away, looked down at his feet, and remained silent.

Rong Yan looked at him, curled his lips, glanced at the missionaries who were whispering, walked to his place and stood up.

Rong Xuan's edict was extremely wordy.

He expressed his anger in a lengthy speech, which showed that he was ignorant of the "fake proton" incident.Fang Qu, the chief culprit, was removed from all duties, and he was escorted back to Wei State and handed over to Dali Temple for interrogation.Other members of the mission were also implicated, and no one was spared the demotion, fine and salary.

The complexions of everyone present were not very good-looking, except Rong Yan.

The second half of the imperial decree is all about consoling Rong Yan. After many words of concern and concern, Rong Yan is the head of the mission, representing the tribute after the completion of the Wei State.

Rong Yan kowtowed to receive the decree, Rong Xuan's reluctance when he wrote the decree appeared in his mind, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised.

After the imperial decree was read, the members of the mission dispersed one after another.

"Lord Fang," Rong Yan threw the imperial decree in his hand, turned his head and glanced at Fang Qu, who had just been put on shackles, and just caught the imperial decree when he retracted his gaze, "Are my predictions accurate?"

Fang Qu finally looked over, moved his imprisoned wrist, and fixed his eyes on Rong Yan: "Do you think that people who got rid of the mission can rest easy in hiding in Xu State from now on?"

Rong Yan shook the imperial decree in his hand: "Master Fang's words are too unreasonable, isn't it? Is it because I want to leave my hometown and hide in Xu State to live by looking at others?"

Fang Qu glanced at the imperial decree in his hand, and suddenly took a few steps forward, leaned in front of Rong Yan, and said in a low voice, "You know if you want to come to Xu Country yourself. In the past, as long as you kept your duty, Your Majesty will let you live. Now is the dead end you have chosen for yourself!"

"Lord Fang," Rong Yan tilted his head, smiling innocently, "Then how far do you think I have to go before I can keep my duty?"

Seeing Fang Qu's hesitation, Rong Yan restrained his smile and continued, "Is it because Rong Xuan didn't kill me before because he didn't want to kill me, or because he has no energy to kill me now due to internal and external troubles? Even if I live with my tail between my legs, One day in the future, when he comes to his senses, a casual word from me can become his murderous intent. Since they are all dead ends, if we walk in another direction, maybe we can put them to death and come back to life?"

"Life?" Fang Qu stood up straight and squinted at Rong Yan: "It does take some effort to kill you now, but it is not impossible at all. People are alive, and accidents are inevitable. And in the future when you are in Xu State If something happens accidentally, the clan will not be able to blame it on His Majesty, and His Majesty may even thank you for your fulfillment."

"Then I would like to thank Mr. Fang for reminding me. However, it was so easy to kill me when I was not out of Wei, didn't you succeed? I am so hard-working that I can't expect it." Rong Yan smiled and patted He patted Fang Qu's hand, "Master Fang, go back and think about how to face Dali Temple. Tell me, if the clan takes advantage of it, will Rong Xuan still be able to protect you?"

As he said that, he took out a money bag from his pocket, turned around and stuffed it into the hands of the guard a few steps away: "You two, for my sake, please take care of him on the way back."

The two guards looked at each other, and one of them reached out to collect the money bag.Fang Qu glanced at the two of them, then looked down at his slapped hands, clenched his hands into fists, snorted softly, turned and left.

Rong Yan stood in place, watching the three of them leave the post house all the way, the smile on his lips gradually faded, he glanced at the imperial decree in his hand, let out a sneer, and turned back to the post house.

I don't know what concession Rongxuan made, Xu Guochao didn't mention the matter of Wei Guo's "fake proton" at all, he held a grand ceremony to accept Wei Guo's tribute as if nothing had happened, and held a banquet at the Martial Virtue Hall that night to entertain the Wei Guo embassy.

Rong Yan changed into Wei Guo court clothes, got off the carriage in front of the palace gate, and was led to Wude Hall.

In his previous life, Rong Yan did not have this kind of treatment. Emperor Shouguang was not interested in him, a little proton who had lost power. He was not qualified to attend the tribute ceremony or the dinner that day.

He stayed in Xu country for so long, only entered the palace once, and never came out alive again.

Xu's palace is as magnificent as in memory.

Rong Yan paused in front of the Wude Hall, looking up at the tall stairs and majestic palace in front of him, as well as Liang Ji who was waiting in front of the main hall.

Except for the occasional glimpse at the ceremony during the day, Rong Yan didn't see this person again for several days. The sky was dim now, but he could still recognize the somewhat blurred but still tall and straight figure at a glance.

"His Royal Highness King Xuan!"

A clear male voice came from behind, Rong Yan turned his head, and a slight smile appeared on his lips: "His Royal Highness Ji is polite, just call me by my name."

"Rong Yan!" Gao Chun was not polite, "The banquet will start soon, why are you standing here?"

"This is not the first time I've seen your palace in Xu State, so I want to see a few more insights." Rong Yan turned his head and found that there was someone beside Gao Chun. The smile immediately disappeared without a trace, "Who is this?"

"This is Sun Yi, the master book of my palace."

Sun Yi looked thin and pale, with a very obvious appearance of a literati, but his eyes were extraordinarily bright, his eyes were locked on Rong Yan's face, and it took him a while to say hello: "His Royal Highness King Xuan."

Rong Yan stared at his haggard face for a while, then stopped at his right wrist—there was nothing but an old wound, which should have been cut off by someone with a sharp tool a long time ago. right hand.

Rong Yan suddenly felt that his right wrist, which had been healed from swelling long ago, was hurting again, so he rubbed it with his left hand unconsciously.

"What does His Highness King Xuan mean?" Sun Yi hid his right arm behind his back, staring closely at Rong Yan's movements, his voice was a little bit colder.

Rong Yan looked down and stopped his hands: "I accidentally injured my right hand a few days ago. I may have caught a cold recently, and it suddenly hurt." He also put his hand behind his back, "I have heard that King Ji There is a capable person in His Highness's residence, and I finally got to see him today, so I'm sorry."

Gao Chun's eyes flicked back and forth between the two of them, and then he laughed: "It's getting late, there's still time to sit down and have a deep chat."

Sun Yi glanced at Rong Yan, ignored Gao Chun, and stepped up the steps without looking back.

Gao Chun walked a few steps behind Rong Yan, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Sun suffered a lot in the early years, fell ill, and his right hand was cut off, so his temperament changed drastically and his temper was weird. I probably thought you were You are laughing at him, so you lost your manners, but you still look at me, don’t take offense.”

"I heard earlier that during the first battle between Xu and Wei, there was a capable person in His Royal Highness Ji's tent who repeatedly made ingenious schemes and beat the Wei army to the brink of death." Rong Yan looked up at Sun Yi's back a few steps away, "I'm still Thinking of such a talented person, when we get to Xu State, we must make friends, but I didn't expect to offend him just by meeting today."

Gao Chun laughed: "That's easy to say. Although Master Sun has a weird temper, he likes to drink. If you drink a few glasses with him at the banquet later, you will forget all the unpleasantness."

Rong Yan bent his lips: "Okay, I will trouble you to give me some kind words later."

The two of them talked, stepped on the last stone step, and met Liang Ji who was still standing here.

Liang Ji paused his eyes from the faces of these two people, bowed and saluted: "His Royal Highness Ji Wang," he paused, then looked at Rong Yan, "His Royal Highness Xuan Wang."

Rong Yan froze for a moment, and then laughed: "General Liang is really polite. Compared with His Highness Prince Ji, what kind of Highness am I!"

Liang Ji was silent and didn't respond, but Gao Chun shook his head with a smile, and when he turned to Liang Ji, his tone softened a bit: "It's so cold, why is Rong Zhi waiting here?"

Liang Ji glanced at Rong Yan, and said: "I was about to go in, but I saw His Highness King Xuan was in a daze below, so I took a few extra glances."

Rong Yan looked at him in surprise, Liang Ji had already withdrawn his gaze, and said flatly: "It happens to be with the two Highnesses."

Gao Chun responded with a smile, patted his arm, and the three entered the hall side by side.

The Hall of Martial Virtue was very lively, civil servants and military generals of rank four or above were all present, Rong Yan was dressed in the court uniform of the Wei Kingdom, as soon as Fang entered the hall, he attracted everyone's attention.

Liang Ji couldn't help but look sideways.

There was no panic on Rong Yan's face, which was completely different from the naive and timid little proton in his previous life.He stopped in the middle of the hall, looked back at every line of sight calmly, for a long time, pointed to an empty seat in front of him, and said calmly, "Where is my place?"

Gao Chun took a look and called a servant to come over: "Serve King Xuan at the table."

Rong Yan thanked Gao Chun, Shi Shi left.Gao Chun watched him sit down before looking away, turned around and found that Liang Ji was still staring at Rong Yan's direction, his eyes were deep, and he couldn't help asking: "Rong Zhi?"

Liang Ji returned to his senses: "Is there something wrong, Your Highness?"

Gao Chun looked at him for a while, then shook his head with a smile: "What are you thinking?"

Liang Ji glanced in Rong Yan's direction for the last time: "It's nothing, but I feel more and more that Wei Guo's proton is unusual, no wonder His Highness is on good terms with him."

Gao Chun didn't expect him to say this, so he lowered his head and pondered for a while: "Father will be here soon, take your seat."

Liang Ji nodded: "Okay."
