About going to the city to buy some medicine and bringing back two people, Tang Long didn't say anything, after all, one of them was the Son of Heaven.

He was just curious, one of these two people should have stayed in the Imperial City of Shangdu, and the other should have died in Dayu Ridge, so how did they get together.

But fortunately, Vice President Tang is not a gossip person, so it's good to keep such questions in mind.

Hearing the sound of unfamiliar footsteps, Jiang Ling sat under the tree and unconsciously moved his ears, and turned his head in the direction of the sound.

Jun Ruohan paused, he had already seen Jiang Ling from a distance, but if he hadn't known Jiang Ling's current appearance, he wouldn't be able to see that he was blind at all.

The footsteps didn't stop until very close, which made Jiang Ling a little wary, but he didn't move.

Ever since he lost sight of his eyes, if the people around him came to him, they would definitely make noises from a long distance away, and for so many days, he could basically tell who the people around him were from the sound of their footsteps.

This person today is very strange.

"Deputy Chief Jiang." Jun Ruohan said.

Jiang Ling was slightly shocked, but only for a moment, then stood up and saluted: "Jiang Ling has seen the emperor."

"Deputy Chief Jiang doesn't need to be too polite." Jun Ruohan stretched out his hand to help him up, stared at his calm eyes for a long time, and said, "Have your eyes improved?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. There is no serious problem." The no serious problem he said was not that it was already visible, but that it no longer affected daily life.

Jun Ruohan had to admire his ability to adapt.

"Your Majesty, I'm guilty of failing to protect Young Envoy Gu, please punish me." Seeing that he was about to kneel down again, Jun Ruohan helped him up.

"Forget it, I will forgive you this time, and if there is a next time, I will definitely punish you severely."

Jiang Ling was a little surprised, for such a big matter, he just took it lightly?

"Your Majesty, Young Master Gu sent him..." He wondered if Jun Ruohan didn't know that Gu Fang had died in Dayuling, and was cut off before he could finish speaking.

"What orders does Vice President Jiang tell me?" Gu Fang appeared out of nowhere, swaggering and standing behind Jun Ruohan, looking at Jiangling with his head stretched out.

"Gu Fang?" Jiang Ling couldn't believe his ears.

"It's me, it's me." There was a little joy in Gu Fang's voice.

But the people around them can't be happy, their faces are darkened, and their identities as subordinates, do they call each other by name?

"You...are you still alive?" Jiang Ling's voice sounded calm, but he knew that he was trembling a little.

After learning that Gu Fang was lost in Dayu Ridge for several days but failed to search, he didn't rush around like Zhuang Zhou. The worst result was that the man died in Dayu Ridge.

Everyone will die, natural death, due to disease, war or accident, everyone will die, sooner or later in various ways.

He will die, and so will Gu Fang.

He didn't feel sad or sad, after all, the two of them haven't gotten to know each other that well.

Thinking about it, in this world, apart from the fact that Jiang Tong's death might make him a little emotional, even Liu Taiwei would not feel anything, right?

But he knew that Gu Fang was different. After forcing himself to believe that he was dead, although he didn't feel sad, he was unexpectedly regretful, not for Gu Fang, but for himself.

In this world, there probably won't be another person who will give himself Lantern Festival on the day of Lantern Festival!

Although the Lantern Festival was really ugly.

Knowing that he is not dead now, he is a little thankful, of course, not for Gu Fang, but for himself.

"Of course I have to live, otherwise your lovely brother will be in danger." Gu Fang didn't see Jiang Ling's emotional change.

"Well, it's good to be alive." Jiang Ling said lightly.

Ever since Gu Fang came, he took the initiative to undertake all the tasks of taking care of Jiang Ling...

But in fact, there is nothing that needs him to do, the most is to deliver food.

After all, Jiang Ling is not an ordinary blind man. Apart from being blind, he is no different from a normal person. He can even ride a horse. Gu Fang doesn't know how he did it.

"After delivering the food, come here to eat." Jun Ruohan saw that Gu Fang was about to take food for two people again, and couldn't help but stop him.

Gu let go a meal: "How pitiful no one eats with him!"

In the past, Jiang Ling was not a master who liked to be close to people. Since he became blind, he was even more difficult to approach, so every time he ate, he was alone.

"He just likes to be clean. If he wants to find someone to accompany him to eat, some people will wait in line, and it will be your turn?" Jun Ruohan gave him a displeased look.

"That's because he's too thin-skinned, and he's too embarrassed to find someone to accompany him." Gu Fang still took the food for two people and trotted towards Jiangling's carriage.

Jun Ruohan looked at his back like a gust of wind, and then gave Zhuang Zhou a hard look.

"Your Majesty..." Zhuang Zhou swallowed the food in his mouth with difficulty, a little confused, so I didn't do anything!

"Why are you still here?" Jun Ruohan pointed at Zhuang Zhou.

"I...have dinner with you!" Zhuang Zhou said.

Jun Ruohan squeezed between his eyebrows: "No need."

"Yes." Zhuang Zhou was a little aggrieved, and silently took the food to find Deputy Director Tang.

Although Jiang Ling could ride a horse, his speed was naturally not as fast as before. When he set off from southern Xinjiang, Deputy Director Tang tried to dissuade him and let him take a horse-drawn carriage.

"Deputy Chief Jiang, it's time to eat!" Gu Fang called out early before getting into the carriage.

"Come in!" Jiang Ling's voice came from inside.

Gu Fang climbed into the carriage and opened the curtain to get in. Jiang Ling was resting with his eyes closed.

Knowing that he got into the car, he opened his eyes, although it doesn't matter whether he opened his eyes or not, he couldn't see anyway.

After finishing the meal with Jiang Ling, Gu Fang didn't leave immediately, he had a question and wanted to hear his opinion.

Tomorrow is Jun Ruohan's birthday, but there are still two days away from Shangdu.

Now they have been taking the trails in the forest, and they have no chance to enter the city at all, and there are even fewer things to choose from.

"Anything else?" Previously, they left after eating and chatting for a while, but this time Jiang Ling waited for a long time and did not see Gu Fang talking, so he couldn't help asking.

"Well... I want to ask your opinion on something." Gu Fang said a little embarrassed.

"Let's hear it." If it was another person, Jiang Ling would probably ignore it. No, it would be fine to ask for his own opinion if it were another person. Thinking about it this way, he really failed.

"That is, if you have a...friend whose birthday is coming up, what birthday gift would you give him?" Gu Fang asked.

He felt that asking Jiang Ling about this kind of thing was actually a bit self-defeating. This person didn't look like he had given someone a birthday present!

But now he can't find anyone to discuss with. Yesterday he asked Zhuang Zhou what birthday gift he would give if it was Liu Yan's birthday. Zhuang Zhou said that if it was Liu Yan, he hoped to give himself to her.

He imagined that scene at the time, it was quite unhealthy, so he gave up.

"Birthday..." Jiang Ling sighed softly.

"Well, if it's you, if it's your birthday, what kind of gift would you like to receive?" Gu Fang changed the question a bit.

Birthday?

He didn't know, because he had never been there before, and he didn't know when his birthday was.

"It doesn't really matter what you give, what matters is your heart." This kind of words sound very mysterious and brainwashing. If it comes from other people's mouth, Gu Fang might scoff, but when it comes from Jiang Ling, he thinks it is Really, maybe Jiang Ling really doesn't care what gift he received, but cares about the heart of the sender!

It's just that the scope of "mind" is too wide, and I'm afraid it won't be able to reach people's hearts.

"When is your birthday?" Gu Fang asked casually.

Jiang Ling lowered his eyelids but raised the corners of his mouth: "The fifteenth day of the first lunar month."

"The fifteenth day of the first lunar month?" Gu Fang was surprised, "That's really a good day."

"Well, good day."

Gu Fang had completely forgotten about the Lantern Festival that he casually gave him that day.

The next day, Gu Fang looked very anxious.

"what happened to you?"

During the break, Zhuang Zhou couldn't help asking.

"It's okay." Gu Fang thought, even if there is something, I can't tell you, a man whose brain can only pretend to be dirty.

Today is Jun Ruohan's birthday, but he felt in his pocket that there was nothing but a piece of jade, an amulet and some broken silver.

That jade was given to Jun Ruohan on his 16th birthday, and he can never give it again. The amulet was given to him by Xiao Bai before he left, and the rest is broken silver...

Worried to death.

"Why are you in a daze!"

Zhuang Zhou beside him left at some point and became Jun Ruohan.

Jun Ruohan saw him squatting under a tree and sighing at Sui Yinzi in front of him, and couldn't help but make a sound.

"Your Majesty...do you remember what day it is today?" Gu Fang asked tentatively, he even thought that if this person had forgotten himself, he would pretend not to remember.

"Of course I remember, today is my birthday." Jun Ruohan said.

Gu Fang was a little disappointed that he would remember.

"Then... if, I mean, if someone gave you silver as a gift, would you be happy?" Gu Fang asked again.

The corner of Jun Ruohan's mouth twitched: "Think about it in another direction, someone gave you silver as a gift on your birthday, are you happy?"

"That depends on the quantity," he said.

"Do I look like someone short of money?" Jun Ruohan glanced at the broken silver in front of him.

"It's not like." Gu Fang shook his head, thinking, not only are you not short of money, you are not short of anything.

Hey... giving gifts is a difficult problem, and giving gifts to the emperor is the most difficult problem.

"If you really want to give me a gift, you can walk with me when you rest at night!" Jun Ruohan turned and said.

"Ah? Okay!" Gu Fang was a little caught off guard, and then asked, "Is this a gift?"

"Forget it!" Jun Ruohan said.

"So simple"

"How complicated do you want to be?" he asked.

Gu Fang shook his head.

"If you want to do something else, it's not impossible." Jun Ruohan said again.

"No, I don't." Gu Fang shook his head like a rattle.
