There's nothing wrong with it

Chapter 168 Xiuwen's Old Friend

Huangfulu looked at the sarcophagus with some reluctance, and said, "But how can we get out of here?"

"It's very simple. It's easy to get out with teleportation. It's a pity that I don't know the direction here, and I can't get in with teleportation." Zigui shrugged.

"But I still want to stay here for a while." Huangfulu let out a breath and said, "Can I wait a little longer?"

ah?Do you want to stay here?She looked at General Zi Ning lying in the sarcophagus, and sighed, "That's fine." Anyway, as long as the blue stone doesn't touch the corpse, General Zi Ning probably won't jump up and fight with them.

He sat in front of Rouniang's grave, chattering about what had happened these days with the cold tombstone that would never answer him, as if Rouniang was still alive.When Qin Shuang knew that Rou Niang had been killed, he was so angry that he wanted him to rebel and kill King Gui to avenge Rou Niang, but he just smiled lightly and firmly persuaded Qin Shuang to give up that idea - how could he do that?It's not a thought of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, he is also selfish.The king is very smart, and the city is deep. Maybe the king is waiting for Qin Shuang and the others to move, so that they can be wiped out. The reason is nothing more than what the king said before, asking him to give up everything for the king. I don't want the king to bear the notoriety of "faint and tyrannical" for this.He knew that Qin Shuang couldn't understand, but he sincerely hoped that the king would understand as soon as possible that no matter what happened, he would never betray him, so stop doing these unnecessary tests.

"Brother-in-law."

He raised his head and saw the man in fluttering white clothes. "Brother..." He stood up, "I'm sorry for you, I failed to protect Rou Niang, and I didn't help her avenge..."

The man shook his head and said, "If fate ends, we will be separated. I don't blame you for what happened to my younger sister. Besides, life and death are determined, brother-in-law, you don't have to be too sad."

How can you not be sad?He smiled wryly and said, "Brother is here today to see Rou Niang?"

"I'm here to see you too," the man said.

"Brother Lao is thinking about it." He said to the man, "It's rare for brother to come here, but I have to stay at home for a while."

"No." The man waved his hand and said, "You know, I'm from the mountains and I'm not used to your life in the city. Seeing that you're all right, I'm relieved."

Knowing Rou Niang's eldest brother's temper, he didn't force him to stay, he just said: "At least, let's go after dinner together."

This time, the man nodded and said, "Alright."

He took Rouniang's eldest brother to a restaurant he frequented, ordered some lighter dishes, and ordered some wine. "As for my likes and dislikes, you remember clearly." The man picked up the teacup and smiled faintly, "Mei Rou also often said that you are very clear about her little habits and likes, and you are very considerate to her on weekdays. You won't ask about her bad words."

"Naturally." He said, "Rou Niang is my wife, and it is my responsibility to take good care of her."

The man pursed his lips, thought for a while, and said, "Maybe some people can't bear to see you like this."

"Who is he talking about?" he asked.

"Who else?" The man asked with a smile.

He fell silent.Coincidentally, the store delivered food and drinks, and the topic ended here for the time being.

After sending away Rouniang's eldest brother, the sky gradually darkened.The deep blue sky is clear and deep, and the full moon hanging high is extraordinarily bright.He suddenly didn't want to go back to the house where he was the only one left tonight, and when he came to his senses, he had already walked into the woods not far from his mansion.The milky white moonlight passed through the lush branches and leaves, covering the dark ground with a layer of white gauze. Passing through the woods was a low cliff. Here he looked up and saw a full moon as bright as half a sun, hanging in the sky. The night sky is so bright like a dark blue veil, even a forest under the mountain is bathed in this silvery white moonlight, like the sound of Xiao Xiao lingering in the forest, it turns out that the world he lives in is so quiet.Hearing the sound of branches and leaves swaying like a wave, he seemed to be at the bottom of the water, without any support, almost dying...

"Zining." A familiar voice and footsteps came from behind him. He turned his head and was about to salute the visitor, but the visitor stopped him, "Forget it."

"Why is Your Majesty here late at night?" He looked at Gui Wang nervously.As the king of a country, how could he leave the palace so recklessly, without even half of his entourage and guards?

"The widow came to see you." Gui Wang Feng said lightly.

"It's too unsafe for Your Majesty to come here alone, please let me escort you back to the palace immediately." He said anxiously.

"Do you really want the widow to leave so much?" Gui Wang asked coldly.

He was stunned for a moment, then sighed and said: "I am worried about the safety of the king..."

"With you here, can you still let the widow be killed or taken away?" King Gui interrupted him displeased.

He could only smile wryly in his heart, but he still said to King Gui: "Of course I will do my best to protect the King."

Only then did King Gui show off his face and smiled, and said: "It's been a long time since I've had a drink with you and talked at night. It's rare for me to go out of the palace, so I come to sit with you, and we, the monarch and the ministers, have a good chat."

What can we talk about?Do you want to talk about how sad he was after losing his girl? "Yes, as long as the king doesn't dislike it."

Returning to the place where he lived, Gui Wang seemed to be very relaxed, sweeping away the gloomy face when he came to the door in the past, his expression was brighter than the candle he lit. "Zining, you live here alone now, who will take care of your daily life? Why don't you go back to live in the palace! The place where you used to live has been reserved for you, and it will be cleaned every day, so you can live there anytime."

His hands that poured the wine paused, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty, it doesn't matter if I'm alone. How can foreign ministers live in the palace?"

A trace of injury and coldness flashed in Gui Wang Youhei's eyes, and he said coldly: "Now you are talking about the rules in the palace with the widow. If you really wanted to abide by the rules in the palace, how could you have left the palace without permission? , How could you disobey the widow's will? If the widow hadn't allowed you to lead the army, wouldn't you still be living in the palace now?"

He knew he couldn't refute it. "Your Majesty, you are no longer the child who needs to be taken care of by the minister. You can take charge of your own affairs and become an excellent king who can govern the country well. There is nothing I can teach you. The only thing I can do for you is Fight a few more victories for you, so that the king will not worry about the stability of the border."

"Dang!" The wine glass in King Gui's hand was smashed to the ground forcefully.Gui Wang's voice was soft but dangerous, and said: "Who do you think you are? Do you think you know what the widow wants? Do you think that what you do can make the widow feel at ease?"

He lowered his head and replied: "I dare not guess what the king is thinking..." Before he could finish speaking, he slapped Gui Wang severely on the left side of the cheek, causing a burning pain.

"Don't dare to guess my thoughts... Since you don't dare to guess, why don't you ask me?!" Gui Wang hysterically rushed forward and grabbed his collar and shouted.

The king was so excited that he even forgot the title of "widow".He looked at the face of King Gui who lost his self-control, raised his hand and stroked his head comfortingly, and said, "You are a king, how can I ask you what's really on my mind as a subject? I can only do what I think is the best thing for you." It's a good thing, that's all."

"Then—what about being my teacher? What about being my brother? Can't you ask?" Wang Gui asked, "Or, you are too lazy to care about what I think, and just do your own thing well." What do you think of assisting me? Is it just a perfunctory errand? It’s okay for others to think so, but you——you can’t think like that, let alone do it!”

The king left, leaving behind all the wine stains and broken wine glasses.It's not that he can't ask what the king wants, nor does he want to ask, but he doesn't dare to ask.I'm afraid if I ask, it will hinder the growth of the king, hurt the soldiers who trusted him, and lose the freedom I got.Even if he knew the answer to what the king was thinking about, he might not be able to do it.Therefore, he dared not ask.

"Tsk tsk tsk, what a mess." A harsh voice came from the entrance of the main hall.

He glanced at the door, and by the bright moonlight, he could clearly see the facial features of the visitors, and smiled self-deprecatingly, there are so many guests today. "Why are you here? And you didn't even knock on the door." He slowly picked up the wine glass on the ground and said.

"I knocked, maybe you were in a daze and didn't hear it." Bian Yulei was as casual as he was in his own home, walked in, found a chair and sat down, and said with a smile.

"I'm not in the mood to argue with you, can you please leave tonight?" he said.

"I'm not here to quarrel with you, you don't need to be in that mood." Bian Yulei smiled coolly, "Speaking of which, you are really depended on by the king, it looks like that kid will do anything for you come out."

"How can you call the king 'that kid'? "He corrected slightly sullenly.

"Hey, I never thought of him as a king, and he's only 22 years old, ten years behind me, what's wrong with me calling him 'that kid'? "Bian Yulei laughed.

"No problem, but please don't call him that in front of me." He gave Bian Yulei a cold look and said.

"You are such a good person, you are willing to defend him even if your wife is killed by him." Bian Yulei sneered.

"...Don't worry about it." He took a sip of his wine and said.

"In your eyes, is that king more important than your wife?" Bian Yulei asked with a half-smile as if he wanted to provoke him deliberately.

He put down his wine glass, looked up into Bian Yulei's unfathomable pupils, and said, "Why do we have to compare them? They are important people to me. I have already lost Rou Niang, and I don't want to lose another one." Important people, is this wrong? I value you, Qin Shuang, Li Cheng and all the soldiers in the army. Is it possible that one day you are gone, and I have to distinguish who is more important and who is more worthy of me? Are you sad?"

Bian Yulei was stunned for a moment, then shrugged and said with a smile: "Isn't this the embodiment of human value, who doesn't want to live a more valuable life?"

"Value?" He repeated strangely, "If that's the case, the king is the most valuable person when we return to the country, because he shoulders the lives and lives of all the people we return to the country. Then Rou Niang and him In comparison, isn’t it like an ant, not worth mentioning? If so, did you still need to ask whether the king is more important than Rou Niang?”

"You..." Bian Yulei was stopped by him for the first time.

"That's enough, I don't want to talk about it anymore." He didn't want to be entangled in this issue anymore, so he stuffed the jug into Bian Yulei's hand and said, "If you don't plan to leave, just drink with me."

Looking at the jug in his hand, Bian Yulei smiled, "Okay."

Why did you doze off?Zigui yawned, seeing Huangfulu leaning against the wall with his arms folded, wondering what he was thinking.How long has it been?She looked at her watch, and it turned out that only less than 10 minutes had passed.She walked over and asked Huangfu Lv: "Brother, are you okay? Do you want to go out?"
