It was night, and the guards outside the door retreated to the courtyard.In the inner hall, only him who hadn't slept for a long time and an oil lamp that was about to be extinguished were left.

He lay on the brocade couch, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, and when he closed his eyes and opened them again, it was already late at night, and the oil lamp on the table that barely kept its light burned out soon.

After thinking about it to the end, he was a little startled by Chu Rui's behavior.

Chu Rui followed his promise to save Ji, but he refused to tell him, and crushed Ji's arrogance under his feet.

Now, he couldn't understand Chu Rui even more.

I still remember that when the Ji Kingdom was still alive, there was an insurmountable gap between the scholars and the head of Guizhou, the dignitaries and the royal family.

In that deep gully, what he could see was that the forces of all parties once spread into the palace.

Among those forces, there are pushers, and there are also anti-people.

And Chu Rui sat on the throne of the king of a country, and from then on, he only cared about power.

Chu Rui unscrupulously cultivated power, and the most scheming eunuchs and maidservants almost infiltrated each other, overhead the palace, and jointly propped up the most prosperous period of the Ji royal family.

The royal power can kill people invisible, but it deliberately manages the forces of all parties, making them restrain each other and depend on each other.

So far, strategies, sophistry, talents...these accessories for icing on the cake have inadvertently created a land filled with gunpowder.

He sat up and meditated for a long time on the bed, and then he relighted the oil lamp on the bed.

In the past, the scenery was infinitely good——

Above the beams, the black shadow hidden in the darkness was buried in the tightly wrapped robes, only revealing a pair of cloudy and flooded eyes, glimpsed at the thin and elegant side face, and there was a flash in the floating and gloomy eyes The complexity and wandering of passing away.

The sound of insects was so hot that even the shadows turning around were warm.

He lowered his eyes and pushed open the window, and suddenly saw a dazzling flash.

"Who!"

When he closed the window, there was a sudden sound of the door, the sound of footsteps was so small that it was hard to detect without holding his breath.

"Ji?" His slightly suspicious eyes fell on the slowly raised face of the visitor.

"Ji, how did you come here?" He walked up to Ji, and Ji in front of him pursed his thin lips, raised his eyelids, and gave him a warm smile.This smile is a little naive.

He couldn't help squinting his eyes and curling his lips. Thinking about it, with Ji's ability, it would be a piece of cake to find out his whereabouts.

It seems that his worries are slightly unnecessary.

It was the first time he saw the person in front of him laughing so heartily.

He thought that Chu Rui would send someone to keep an eye on the guards related to him, but unexpectedly, Chu Rui was always proud of his talents, so a small guard was not taken seriously at all.

Chu Rui regarded Ji as a servant at will, but sent people to watch Ji Gan rough his work. At night, when everyone was tired, it was a good time to breathe.

He turned back and bolted the door.Looking at his cautious appearance, Ji suddenly opened the corner of his mouth and smiled back.

"Master Hou, I'll take you out." Ji, who was about to move forward, stretched out his hand and opened his mouth. Although he was silent, he could read the lips of the person in front of him.

"Ji, Benhou can't leave now." He looked at Ji fixedly, his tone was extremely certain.

The corner of Ji Wenyan's mouth froze for a long time before he nodded slightly to express his acquiescence.

"Master Hou has his own thoughts. I'll be in the dark, and Master Hou will tell you."

The moonlight projected by the window sills cut off a smoke shadow on the ground.

In the smoky light, dust flies around, covering the intertwined shadows in the room.

He didn't know how to answer.He sat on the edge of the table, "Ji, you have suffered."

He knew that the person in front of him was a genius, but he was willing to submit himself to be a bodyguard under his command. It was originally Qi Xin's arrangement.Ji followed him, he couldn't promise him a high official and a generous salary, but instead got him into trouble time and time again, getting him into endless troubles, and it was difficult to get out.

In many cases, it is he who hurts the people around him.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh while holding the teacup.

The endless worries in his eyes were tangled between his brows, Ji Ning looked at him, and pressed down the teacup in his hand.

"Master Hou is serious." Ji shook his head.

It was rare for him to stop smiling bitterly.

At that time, when the moon was tilted, the sound of Xisuo suddenly came from the courtyard, which was the sound of drunken and messy footsteps.

At this time, Chu Rui, who was drunk, was leaning against the door of the room, holding a wine cup in his hand, laughing and knocking on the door to call him.

"Senior Brother! Senior Brother!...Senior Brother, open the door quickly. I'm here alone, hurry up and pick him up!" The drunk lying outside the door raised his voice and shouted into the room.

The atmosphere in the room just now was disturbed immediately.

Ji Yan stared at the shadow on the door, feeling unhappy, even disgusted.

"Hurry up and hide." He put on his coat and stuffed Ji into the back corner of the closet without any explanation, taking advantage of the night to completely cover Ji.

"What is the reason for the monarch's late-night visit?"

He opened the door, Chu Rui fell straight towards him, causing his eyelids to twitch, and then moved to the left, avoiding Chu Rui who was like a wolf like a tiger, making Chu grunt twice and pounced null.

"Senior brother is still angry with Gu?" Chu Rui managed to straighten up his swaying body, just when he straightened up, he turned his face and hiccupped loudly at him.

He frowned and held his breath, and couldn't help fanning the stale and hot air between his nostrils.

The smell of alcohol filled the room, and even the invisible people on the beams and behind the closets held their breaths and raised their brows.

Seeing his disgust in his eyes, Chu Rui was stunned.

When Chu Rui came back to his senses, he just turned around stiffly, and immediately walked towards the inner room.

"Senior brother, it's so... so late, haven't you rested yet...?" Chu Rui followed him closely, and staggered in.

The peak of his eyebrows did not stretch out from the beginning to the end.

He sat back at the table and filled a cup of new tea that was not too cold, "Chu Rui, what are you doing here?"

He concentrated, Chu Rui in front of him urgently needed a bowl of hangover soup instead of rushing around.

He directly placed the teacup on the table, looking neither sad nor happy, in Chu Rui's eyes, he felt a little inexplicable palpitation.

Chu Rui seemed to be open-minded, perhaps because he was used to his sarcastic remarks, and was no longer annoyed at his face-saving behavior, but sat down in front of him, "Senior brother, Gu is very happy today. Senior brother, do you know? The lonely country of Ji... will soon regain its former prestige and become a big country that rivals Zhou Rao and Rou Li!"

Chu Rui put the wine cup in his hand on the table, and just grabbed his sleeve, as if he was still a child asking for a reward.

He raised his eyes when he heard the words, and as soon as the words fell, Chu Rui pulled him over and grabbed his waist forcibly.

There was a moment of dead silence.

He didn't struggle, and he knew that once Chu Rui was drunk, he would be no different from a childish child.The more he resisted, the more rampant Chu Rui became.

He turned his eyes quietly, and the man behind the closet clenched his fists.

He raised his face from Chu Rui's arms, his cold eyes glanced at Chu Rui's smiling face as if asking for credit, and he guessed something in his heart.

Two days ago, I heard a maid from the past mention Chu Rui's meeting with Lord Zhai Wei. Presumably, Chu Rui had already formed an ally with Lord Zhai Wei in an attempt to fight for the supremacy of the six kingdoms together.

Perhaps, Chu Rui still has the lofty ambition to dominate the world.

At this time, Chu Rui looked drunk, and he unbuttoned his clothes indiscriminately, his face flushed.

"Senior brother, senior brother...why don't you call Gu 'junior brother'? Senior brother, Gu is serious...Brother kindly." Chu Rui spoke incoherently.

He directly grabbed Chu Rui's restless hands, knowing the brute force of drunk people, and when he was about to find a way to get away, Chu Rui suddenly moved his face closer to him, and his eyes were full of desire.

He now felt that the situation was not good.However, his recent meals were tampered with by Chu Rui, and he couldn't lift his strength, so he had to be slaughtered.

He opened his eyes and wanted to break free from Chu Rui, but Chu Rui simply strangled him by the neck, and when he was struggling, he pulled off the coat he was wearing, trying to force him to submit.

Unfortunately, Chu Rui never expected that there were more than one or two people in this room.

"Whoosh—" A soft leaf hit Chu Rui's wrist straight, and Chu Rui's hands went numb, and he was about to turn around and reprimand when he was knocked unconscious by the palm of the person behind him.

"Ji..." He supported the edge of the table with one hand, breathing hard for a moment.

Ji Jiang's coat, which was picked up by Chu Rui, was draped over his shoulders. He didn't move his lips, but his palms were warm.

"I'm fine." He stood up, turned his eyes away, and looked at Chu Rui who was limp on the ground.

Chu Rui was unconscious, and the upward curve of the corner of his mouth was disgusting.

At this time, the wind was a bit cool, and at some point, the light cluster outside the window lattice was diluted by the sudden hot wind.

He gathered the coat on his shoulders with a smile, walked forward with gentle steps, and finally picked up a soft leaf by Chu Rui's hand.

"Ji, when did you use the soft leaves to hurt people?" He placed the soft leaves in front of Ji's eyes, puzzled.

When he nodded, Ji squinted, "There is someone else."

Ji opened his mouth to defend, but his face was also puzzled, and then he looked around vigilantly, and finally flew onto the beam.

On the beams of the house, there seemed to be no muddy shoe prints left in place, but people had gone to drink tea here.
