Suya

"For a country, one of the most unfortunate things is that the people lose their trust in the ruler. As the so-called 'Taoist, the people agree with the superior, so they can die with it, live with it, and not Fear of danger.’ As it is in marching and fighting, it is also the same in governing the country. In the eyes of the people of the Li country, if you kill people, it is tantamount to losing the way and the sky, and losing the way and the people.

Feng Chen let go of Li Xiruo, leaned on the soft couch, and said with no joy or anger on his face: "When the time comes, Baixin and the imperial court will be separated from each other, how can you expect them to live and die together with Li Guo. I'm afraid that by then , the ones who opened the city gates for the enemy are your own people from Liguo.”

Li Xiruo glanced at him: "Don't scare me."

Feng Chen curled his lips: "Although what I said is a bit exaggerated, it is not far from the truth. You know it very well in your heart."

Li Xiruo was silent for a while, then sighed inaudibly: "Let me think again."

"He is in power now, and you will not be able to return to Li Country in a short time, and King Suyou is not very reliable, so now is undoubtedly a golden opportunity for him, and he will never miss it easily I think you'd better get rid of him as soon as possible, so as not to have long nights and dreams."

Feng Chen lay on his back on the soft couch, shaking his legs and said softly: "If he is ruthless enough, the next move should be to incite the officials to impeach you, and at the same time spread the word in Liguo, publicizing your murder— —" Feng Chen paused, and continued: "Especially about Shu Ji. He will definitely find a way to make you lose the hearts of the people, so that King Li has to punish you."

Li Xiruo didn't answer, and stared at the thick curtain with dark eyes. In the slightly open gap beside the curtain, light drifted around with dust in it.

Feng Chen didn't seem to be in a hurry to get his response, he rested his head on one hand, half-closed his eyes, and swayed his legs, looking lazily as if he was basking in the sun.

After a while, Li Xiruo said softly as if talking to himself: "Three years ago, when I first found out that he was making friends with foreign relatives without telling King Suyou, I knew he was an ambitious person, but I didn't Inform King Suyou of this matter." Li Xiruo closed his eyes and looked down at the dark desktop, "I promoted him alone. Whether I promoted him at the beginning or later concealed the fact of forming a party for him, it was all because of my colleagues. One reason—he is a rare talent. Even if I refuse to kill him today, it is for the same reason."

He looked at the official document filled with the names of the dismissed officials, and he couldn't hide the look of regret in his eyes: "He has paid a lot for Liguo in the past few years as an official in the court. Without him, Liguo may not be able to live in the country. It took only four years to return to its current appearance. Feng Chen, you will not understand what he means to Li Guo."

Feng Chen's movements stopped for a moment.

Both fell silent.There was silence inside the tent, but outside the tent, the low footsteps of the battalion soldiers rose and fell, piercing through the tent with dry cracks like yellow sand, washing the silent atmosphere even more thirsty and gloomy.

After a long time, Feng Chen said: "If you don't kill him today, you will be the second me tomorrow. Don't you want to watch what happened in Zhumen City happen in Liguo?"

Li Xiruo suffocated.

Feng Chen got up, put his hand on Li Xiruo's shoulder, turned him to himself, and looked at him seriously, "If you really can't do it, you can give him another chance, or let King Suyou do it for you. Anyway, I believe King Suyou will never be lenient."

Li Xi Ruo thought for a long time, then nodded wearily: "I see."

He sits next to the case and writes a letter.

Feng Chen stopped disturbing him, got up, straightened his clothes, and walked out of the tent.

Li Xiruo said in a distant voice behind him: "Feng Chen, call Bai Yuan in for me."

"Bai Yuan?" Feng Chen turned a few big turns in his mind, squinted his eyes and looked outside the tent.

Not far from the tent, the man Xuanzi who was in Li Xiruo's tent before was standing in front of the tent with his arms folded, his back to the tent, looking into the distance in a daze.

Li Xi Ruo knew what was going on in his heart, and replied without raising his head: "He is Bai Yan's elder brother."

Feng Chen was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, and said again and again: "No wonder. I wondered why that kid loved and hated him at the same time. It turned out to be my brother." After laughing for a while, he turned his head again Ask Li Xiruo, "How did the two of them get married, and how did they look like enemies?"

Li Xiruo raised her head and glanced outside: "It's not a big deal, it's just a child's temper tantrum. Bai Yuan is the eldest son of the family, with a stable temperament and a respectable personality, so he has been highly valued by the elders since childhood. After the Spirit Palace, Bai Yan wanted to stay by my side as a shadow guard, but you also know that he is impatient, impulsive and irritable, so he is not suitable to be a shadow guard at all. On the contrary, Bai Yuan is quite qualified, so she stayed with me. By my side. Bai Yan can't get angry, so she always fights against his brother."

Feng Chen laughed so hard that he wanted to thump the table.

Li Xiruo glanced at him helplessly: "Stop laughing, call Bai Yuan in for me."

Feng Chen suppressed a smile, walked out, walked a few steps, then stopped suddenly, turned around and looked at Li Xiruo.

Li Xiruo lowered his head and focused on reviewing the official documents.

Feng Chen hesitated for a moment, and said: "Xi Ruo, when I was injured in leaving the country, did you order the candy that You Baiyan gave me?"

Li Xiruo nodded.

Feng Chen coughed lightly, and said somewhat unnaturally, "Thank you."

Li Xiruo raised her head and looked at him unexpectedly.

Feng Chen rarely showed an unnatural and coy expression, coughed twice, and forced himself to look upright, looking back at Li Xiruo.

Li Xiruo looked at him for a moment, and understood in his heart, with a warm smile on his face, he said: "It should."

Looking at his smile, Feng Chen's heart was pounding, throbbing inexplicably, he walked over quickly, bent down, and kissed Li Xiruo forcefully on the lips.

"This is a thank you gift." Feng Chen said.

Li Xiruo made him laugh amusedly, and said jokingly, "Are you sure this is a thank you gift, not taking advantage of me?"

Feng Chen rubbed his face: "Of course it's a thank you gift. If you don't think it's enough, I can be wronged a little more and spoil you with reluctance." After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand to grab the belt as if he wanted to take off his clothes .

Li Xiruo held down his hand and drove him out: "The general's kindness is no good for Li, general, please find another beautiful woman."

Feng Chen hugged him relentlessly, looking like a rascal.

The two walked to the side of the curtain, Feng Chen hugged Li Xiruo and kissed for a long while, then reluctantly let go with a sad expression of parting.

Pulling back the curtain, You Baiyuan looked back at him, her black eyes were big and round, and she was quite similar to You Baiyan.

Feng Chen pointed to the tent behind him with a serious face: "The national teacher is looking for you."

You Baiyuan cupped his fists to salute him, and then got into the tent.

Feng Chen looked at his back, remembered the grievances between him and You Baiyan, and burst out laughing again.
