Blade of Wind

After handing over the gifts they brought, the envoys of Fangguo rested for another day, and then they were ready to go back.

Li Guang expressed his desire to stay and look around Fangguo.

I think he probably wanted to know about the specific situation in Fangguo because he agreed to help me that day.

Of course I can't have any opinions, but after thinking about it, I said, "I'll go with you."

Li Guang didn't seem to object, but said: "I don't have any destination, just walk around and have a look."

"Yeah." I nodded, "I just took a look. I have been here for so long, and I went to Zhenzhou. I also want to see how other places are. If I go alone, the ministers will Don't worry, bring too many people...and you can't do it casually. It's just right to go with Li Guang. Is it convenient for Prince Li Guang?"

Li Guang smiled and said: "It's not inconvenient. There are still monsters haunting Fangguo, maybe I will rely on Xiao Jie along the way."

So I found Yuexi and told him that I was going out of the palace and followed Li Guang to look around.

Yuexi frowned slightly. I had prepared a bunch of words to convince him. For example, I can't help you in Falcon Palace, and there will be nothing too outrageous if you follow Li Guang. I should have gone to Knowing the customs of Fang Country...but he nodded his head after frowning.

So I choked on my words, and opened my mouth in a daze: "Huh?"

Yuexi didn't say much, and said: "My lord, please limit it to one month."

Like a student who was approved by the teacher to take a vacation, I nodded quickly and said, "Definitely. I will definitely come back on time."

There seemed to be a smile in Yuexi's eyes, he bowed and saluted, and said: "My lord is outside, please take care of yourself, everything is on the lord's own safety."

Naturally, I was in a hurry to respond, and he confessed a few more words before leaving.

Li Guang smiled and said: "Before I came to Fangguo, Zhujing was still worried that you would have a grudge against Yuexi. It seems completely unnecessary."

"Oh, she thinks so?"

Gong country is a neighboring country of Fang country, she naturally understands the situation of Fang country, and Zhu Jing actually supported Yuexi in the past.It is reasonable to have such worries now.

"Don't talk about her, I used to be so worried. Over the years, I have seen the rise and fall of many countries." Li Guang still had a smile on his face, but his tone was really not happy. It is not uncommon for kings to demote and punish important ministers of the previous dynasty.”

To be honest, I don't want to.It's just that there is not enough energy.I grinned and said, "Isn't it normal for the so-called emperor to have courtiers?"

Li Guang nodded, "Yes, every king has his own strategy for governing the country, and he also has his own favorite and trustworthy officials. Some kings even hate the false dynasty before they ascended the throne. They feel that it is infringing on what they should be. got something."

I couldn't help grinning again, "...such a small-hearted person...how could he be chosen to be king?"

"Who knows? Apocalypse, even Qilin can't understand it." Li Guang replied, and then smiled at me, "I heard about your first pardon."

...That was clearly because of being bullied by A Ao.

But this kind of explanation is hard to come out, so I just continued to smile, turned my face to one side, and said softly: "It was just a small accident."

Li Guang said with a smile: "I think, the king who will do that kind of thing, maybe don't worry about it."

I had no choice but to laugh along with a guilty conscience, and changed the subject and asked: "Speaking of which, both Prince Liguang and King Gong have a high opinion of Yuexi. Do you think that if I can't get along well with him, it will affect the fate of the country?"

"That's not the case. I haven't had direct contact with Mr. Yuexi before." Li Guang paused for a moment, then laughed again, "But Zhujing is very sure of Yuexi's talent, and even said that he is very good at talented people. If many suspicions cannot be reused, even the person chosen by Qilin will be a worthless idiot after all."

"Idiot without measure..." I repeated this sentence, imagining the voice and tone of the little queen, and couldn't help laughing at myself.Then he waved his hand and said, "Stop talking about this, Li Guang, when are you going to leave?"

"Tomorrow, leave the palace with Gong Guo's envoys."

I nodded.

Going out this time is not as labor-intensive as last time, and one day is enough to prepare.

Ah Ao came to me a little later, and didn't speak when we met. He looked at me, his eyes flickering, as if he was considering his words.

So I asked directly: "You came to me because of my going out?"

Ao nodded and said, "Yes."

I asked again, "You think I shouldn't go out?"

Ah Ao hurriedly said: "No... I know you have your own considerations... I just..." He paused, took a deep breath and said, "I want to go with you."

I sat there and looked up at him.

Ah Ao hurriedly said again: "I didn't intend to look at you or tie you up, it's just... I want to see it too."

I still didn't speak.

Ah Ao sighed, and said: "Do you remember when you were in Pengshan, you said that you would accept the fate without taking a look first, and there is always a taste of buying and selling by force."

"Well, I remember." I nodded.

That was the first time I saw A Ao transformed into a beast, and it was also the first time I rode a unicorn galloping across the sea of ​​clouds.As a result, when he came back, he encountered a monster and fought violently, spattering A'ao's blood, and was complained by the female fairies in Pengshan.

"Me too." Ao said, "Everyone says that I am a symbol of God's will and a representative of the people's hearts, but...if I don't even know what kind of life the ordinary people in Fangguo live, how can I represent them?" what?"

For some reason, hearing him say that, I felt a sense of relief in my heart.

A Ao said again: "My hair color is lighter than that of ordinary unicorns. As long as I pay attention on the road and cover it up a little, I shouldn't be seen by others."

"Yeah." I nodded again, "Let's go together."

Ao nodded and laughed.

A warm smile swayed from between the brows and eyes, soft and clear, lingering around.

I stood there stunned, and suddenly realized that I hadn't seen Ao's smile for a long time.

My heart throbbed suddenly.

After dinner, Yichun started to help me pack my luggage, put away all the things I needed to bring, and told me to be careful on the road, don’t fight, don’t drink, don’t get hurt...

In the end, I couldn't help interrupting her lightly, and said with a smile, "Okay, I get it. You're more chatty than my mother. If you don't look at people, you might think you're already an old woman."

In fact, my mother never cared about our affairs.In the past, Ao was doing the housework at home, and when I wanted to go out, I packed my bags and left. Hearing someone rambling like this made me feel a little sad for a while.

After Yichun packed the package, she turned to look at me with a gentle smile on her face, "Compared to the age of the Lord, I am already an old woman."

After getting along for so long, she is not as cautious when she speaks in front of me as when I first arrived at Falcon Palace.But I was stunned for a moment, yes, all the ladies and maids in the palace have become immortals, so I really don't know how much older she is than me.

But I don't want to ask her real age. If I think about it, if I know that the beautiful woman in my twenties is actually an old woman who is hundreds of years old... Even for me, it is a little difficult for me to accept it.

So he smiled and changed the subject, and after a few words, a maid informed that Xiu Huang was asking to see him outside.

When I asked to come in, Yichun saluted and left.

Xiu Huang brought me a box of ointment, saying that it can be used for trauma and bruises.The words are still gentle and elegant, and there is not much emotion.

So I simply asked first: "I told you to stay in the palace this time, do you have any objections?"

"Of course." Xiu Huang still smiled slightly, "It's just that the Lord has decided so, and I can't help it. I am the Lord's physician. Since the Lord is not here, what can I do if I stay?"

He laughed like that, but I felt a little guilty, smiled, coughed lightly and said, "Clean up that little medicine garden of yours. By the way, write down the things about Chaozhong, and tell me when I come back."

Xiuhuang looked at me for a while, then said softly: "My lord still doesn't believe Lord Yuexi?"

I frowned, then sighed, and said, "It's not that I don't believe it, but...he is the sword of Damocles hanging over my head."

Xiu Huang also frowned, and asked, "What is the Sword of Damocles?"

...that's asking me.

The original allusion... I really don't remember where it came from.

I froze for a second or two, then simply waved my hand and said, "It's a common saying in our place, that is, there is a sword hanging above your head, if you take a wrong step, it will fall down and chop off your head... Maybe that's what it means. "

Xiu Huang was silent for a few seconds, then smiled, and said, "My lord is too worried."

"It's better to think about it than to say 'I didn't expect it' then?"

Xiu Huang nodded and said, "I understand."

I also nodded, unwrapped Yichun's packed package, and put the medicine from Xiuhuang into it.

Xiu Huang watched from the side, and suddenly asked softly: "...Then, why does the Lord believe me?"

I paused, but actually I didn't think about who I should trust more, let alone let Xiuhuang restrain Yuexi.Not likely, at least for now.I just wanted to have another avenue of understanding what happened in my absence.

Xiu Huang asked this question, but I didn't know how to answer it for a while.After a while, he asked back: "That day...you and Ao were drinking tea in the garden...you actually saw me, right?"

In fact, Qinglong and I didn't deliberately hide our figures that day, and we talked later.Ah Ao turned his back to that side, but Xiu Huang did not.

The pillars of the pavilion blocked my view from seeing his face, but he might not be able to see us.

Xiu Huang was taken aback for a moment, then nodded calmly, and said with a smile, "Yes, I saw it."

"So... did you say those words to me on purpose?"

"It doesn't count." Xiu Huang said, "I'm telling the truth."

I smiled, "So... why should I worry about you?"

Xiu Huang also laughed, bowed his head and bowed, saying: "I will definitely live up to the entrustment of the Lord."
