Chapter 11: Goodbye Xue Yuanshan

The last heavy rain in Canglei for several days indicates that this year's Yanjing is destined to have a different winter.

The cold wind froze the dead wood and the fish in the pond but couldn't freeze the liveliness of the palace of the king, the palace ended the crucial game, the king of the king was happy to prepare a banquet for the celebrities of various departments in Yanjing, and Lou Yuyu held a grand dinner.

"Lou Gongzi, the county lord asked me to come over and ask if you are ready?" Ning Xiang asked Lou Yuyu in the room through the door.

Lou Yuyu opened the door and said with a smile: "Let's go." ”

Halfway through, I met Zhu Shulan and others.

"Brother Lou, you are the protagonist today, why are you dressed so casually. Huang Yu greeted Yuyu upstairs with a spring breeze on his face.

"Brother Lou was born outstanding, do you still need those external objects to set off? Chen Fangtong said half-jokingly.

"You don't have to laugh at me anymore," Lou Yuyu smiled humbly.

"Yes, the county lord may have been waiting for a long time," Zhu Shulan kindly walked over to relieve Lou Yuyu.

"yes, let's go. Yu Gui's eyes crooked with a smile and a sincere smile came over.

Several people walked into the banquet hall together, and immediately became the focus of the audience.

"It's the first time I've been watched by so many people," Liu Xianrong whispered in Huang Yu's ear.

"Me too, although this is all thanks to Brother Lou, but I still enjoy it very much," Qin Hanyuan was also a little confused, but the corners of his mouth still involuntarily raised a smile, and he was also immersed in the high-profile atmosphere.

"You're finally here, Yu, my father is looking for you. Mo Chenghuan, dressed in butterfly dance clothes, came slowly from the crowd, nodded to several doctors and said hello silently, and then urged Lou Yuyu.

After hearing Mo Chenghuan's intimate name for Lou Yuyu, several doctors were shocked at the same time, almost all of them had been taken care of by Mo Chenghuan, and they all had strange feelings for Mo Chenghuan in their hearts, but they had never seen the cold Mo Chenghuan treat anyone special for so many years, but this Lou Yuyu couldn't help but secretly envy in his heart.

Lou Yuyu didn't notice them at all, and after listening to Mo Chenghuan's words, he walked towards Mo Zhongxuan in the lobby of the banquet hall.

"Lord Wang. Lou Yuyu walked up to Mo Zhongxuan and called Mo Zhongxuan.

"Ah, you're here, come here, let me introduce you, this is Lord Long who is the squire of the military department......" Mo Zhongxuan took Lou Yuyu and introduced several senior officials beside him one by one.

It is inevitable that the introduction will touch the glass once, this is not counted, Mo Zhongxuan in order to let him be in the limelight, he also specially led him to the center of the banquet, and loudly proclaimed his "prestige", Lou Yuyu had to pile up a smile on his face throughout the whole process, after a few rounds, he was full of wine, and the people were finished, and he didn't say a few words, and his face was almost stiff with laughter.

I don't know how long it took, Lou Yuyu felt as if he had drunk with dozens of people in the audience, until the considerate Mo Chenghuan came to relieve him and kindly took him out of the "encirclement" He was able to breathe.

"I'm not drunk. Looking at Lou Yuyu's face that began to flush, he couldn't help but be a little worried, he was the protagonist today, and it was a bit unreasonable to leave the scene too early.

"How dare you get drunk, it's true that I'm fainting, just let me rest. Lou Yuyu said as he walked out the door.

"That's good, otherwise tomorrow's headline of Quan Yanjing will be you, and then the hat of 'taking the shelf' will be firmly worn, and you will never be able to take it off again?" Mo Chenghuan took a deep breath of fresh air outside the house, and the resentment accumulated in his heart disappeared a lot.

"I saw Xue Yuanshan just now, he was released?" Lou Yuyu heard some time ago that Xue Yuanshan was confined by Xue Cheng, just because he made the entire Yanjing into a miasma for personal grievances.

"How can he close his door, only if he wants to be closed. Maybe it's because Lou Yuyu has a sense of security by her side, she can't help but want to tell the truth after drinking a little wine, she wasn't such a person before.

Lou Yuyu shook his head with a wry smile, raised his eyes to look at the gloomy night sky, and asked thoughtlessly, "When will he leave?"

"In a few days, he will be gone in a few days," Mo Chenghuan's heart suddenly felt sour, she was actually a little afraid of the future, and she felt a little overwhelmed in the face of the confused future.

Lou Yuyu could hear that there was something wrong with Mo Chenghuan's tone, he looked down at Mo Chenghuan, just in time to meet Mo Chenghuan's eyes, he saw the wavering in Mo Chenghuan's eyes, she seemed to be afraid of something, and the dim light reflected on her red face made him feel that Mo Chenghuan was pitiful, and an urge to hold Mo Chenghuan tightly in his arms suddenly rose in his heart.

But he still held back, the drunkenness on his head and the madness in his head, but at least he still had the ability to sustain himself.

Lou Yuyu was silent, his eyes moved away from Mo Chenghuan, he was a little panicked about Mo Chenghuan, and he didn't know how to comfort him.

"This farewell may be different the next time we meet," Mo Chenghuan's voice became thinner and thinner, and he still had a smile on his face, but he looked infinitely sad.

Mo Chenghuan's sad smile stung Lou Yuyu's eyes, which made him feel that he had to do something, otherwise he would not be able to bear Mo Chenghuan.

In fact, he doesn't actually need to do anything, after all, he doesn't owe Mo Chenghuan anything, but he is still willing to make a commitment for Mo Chenghuan.

"Then we'll make a quick decision and try not to change so quickly. Later, he regretted this oath for a long time.

Not only does he have no power to stop what is changing, but he can't slow it down, he can only watch it happen quietly from the sidelines, and he can only be helpless like an outsider if he changes the world.

After that night's banquet, Lou Yuyu closed the door to recuperate for several days, and his dizzy head regained his clarity little by little, he thought of the night that touched people's hearts, and remembered the scene that could not be easily erased from his mind.

He may have been blown unconscious by the cold wind while the strength of the wine, how could he have that kind of affection for Mo Chenghuan at that time, did he regard Mo Chenghuan as that person.

Regardless of whether he is or not, only by convincing himself with this reason can he face Mo Chenghuan again and face himself.

Lou Yuyu waited in place for a while, and waited until Lu Qingfeng respectfully led a gray-haired old Confucian student in the direction of Mo Chenghuan's courtyard.

There are a lot of people who come and go every day to protect the king, and there are many who are rich and noble, but I haven't seen Lu Qingfeng lead the way for anyone, presumably this unseemly old Confucian must be a very important person.

Lou Yuyu waited in place for a while, and only when Lu Qingfeng led the old Confucian out again did Lou Yuyu walk towards Mo Chenghuan's courtyard.

"How do you have time to come?" Mo Chenghuan was standing in the courtyard when he saw Lou Yuyu coming over from a distance.

"On the road, I saw an old Confucian student walking towards you, and I was a little curious, so I came over and asked. "There is only one person living in this direction, and that is Mo Chenghuan, who is undoubtedly here to find Mo Chenghuan. He was curious about the reason why the old Confucian came to Mo Chenghuan.

"Come to paint a portrait for me," Mo Chenghuan could predict that the plan they had been hiding would be known to Lou Yuyu, and a sense of oppression inexplicably arose in her heart, she finally understood why Xue Yuanshan didn't explain the plan to Lou Yuyu at the beginning, because Xue Yuanshan had already foreseen Lou Yuyu's plan, what would they look like.

"It's okay to draw anything. "That Confucian is old like that, and I don't know if my hands will tremble when I draw them.

"The best old painter in the palace at that time. Mo Chenghuan looked casual, but his heart kept beating wildly.

Lou Yuyu seemed to have been struck by a bolt of lightning, and his whole head was buzzing, and at that moment, it was like his whole body strength was being drained, making him almost unsteady.

"What are you talking about?!" The palace painter, what kind of concept is that, the portrait of the concubine in the palace, if you can go out of the inner palace to paint a portrait of a woman, then there is only one possibility, that is, this woman is about to become a palace person.

"That's the painter in the palace," Mo Chenghuan couldn't help but retreat in his heart, and repeated it to Lou Yuyu again.

"Are you going to enter the palace?" is now more than two months away from the draft date, and it is just in the preparation stage at this time, and the portrait of the show girl is one of the most important things in the preparation stage.

"Yes, that's part of the plan. "Maybe they planted too much happiness in Lou Yuyu, but they forgot that he told him the cruelest part of the middle of them, so he was so disappointed that he forgot their situation.

Lou Yuyu turned around silently.

"Do you want to go to him?" Xue Yuanshan said that Lou Yuyu would definitely go to him after knowing the truth, so he repeatedly delayed time.

Lou Yuyu was silent.

"Today is the day he leaves, if you want to find him, go to the southern suburbs," Xue Yuanshan told her that if Lou Yuyu wanted to find him today, she would ask Lou Yuyu to go to the southern suburbs, knowing that he would wait for him there before sunset.

Lou Yuyu listened to Mo Chenghuan's words, went to the stable, pulled a horse, and galloped towards the southern suburbs.

When Lou Yuyu walked out of the south city gate, he saw Xue Yuanshan's men and horses, among which there were many iron-blooded soldiers in civilian clothes, and they could see the perseverance and discipline that could only be seen in the soldiers.

As if they had known that he was back, they gave way to him one after another, and let him ride his horse all the way to Xue Yuanshan.

"Are you here?" Xue Yuanshan sat on the side of the road, waved left and right, and set up a small wooden table in front of him, on which was placed a pot of tea and two cups.

"You knew I was coming?" Lou Yuyu got off the horse and sat in front of Xue Yuanshan, he was trying his best to restrain his anger, the more times like this, the more he had to listen to Xue Yuanshan's explanation calmly.

"Yes, you treat Cheng Huan sincerely, knowing that she was treated so cruelly, how could you sit idly by. In fact, all this is just his guess, but Lou Yuyu can chase after him, which proves that all the guesses he made are correct.

"What about you? Can you really sacrifice everything for your country and your career? She may be the person who loves you the most in the world, and the last person who is willing to give everything for you, and that's how you treat her?" This is ruining Mo Chenghuan's sincerity, which is something he absolutely can't bear.

"I know, but I don't have a choice. "He also wanted to be chic and carefree, but he was born with no choice.

"You can choose to keep her out of it!" If it is him, even if he tries his best, he will let his loved one leave right and wrong.

"She is the same, as long as she is born in this position, no one has the right to choose, you don't forget whose daughter she is, her fate was already doomed as soon as she was born, she can't escape, I am even more extravagant!" He loves Mo Chenghuan, and believes that he can't love Mo Chenghuan as much as he does, but he can't do anything about it, all he can do is try not to let her get hurt.

That's why he chose to make Lou Yuyu part of the plan, because he really regarded Mo Chenghuan as a friend, so he was so angry that he came out to chase him desperately, just for an answer.

To be honest, before this, everything he did was just to test Lou Yuyu, if Lou Yuyu didn't catch up today, he might consider replacing him, because what he needed was someone who could protect Mo Chenghuan thoughtfully, and only people who really regarded Mo Chenghuan as a friend would be truly good for Mo Chenghuan and be able to protect Mo Chenghuan desperately.

When it comes to medical strategy, there are countless people who can make the two compatible, and there is no need for him to let an outsider interfere in their plans, however, there are a lot of talents, and those who can be centered on Mo Chenghuan instead of planning are probably the only ones who are Lou Yuyu.

Lou Yuyu's clenched hands trembled slightly, he could understand what Xue Yuanshan said helplessly, but he couldn't accept it, and he had to say that there were too many powerless things in the world, and how much he could really change.

"I entrusted Mo Chenghuan to you here, please protect her, what I can't do, it's up to you to complete, this is not an order, it's a request. Xue Yuanshan gambled all his hopes on Lou Yuyu, and only hoped that Lou Yuyu could give Mo Chenghuan a future.

"I, Xue Yuanshan, am afraid that I will see you for the last time, and I will send me on my last journey with tea instead of wine. Xue Yuanshan got up and picked up the teacup.

Lou Yuyu felt that Xue Yuanshan had something to say, which seemed to indicate something, but according to Xue Yuanshan's usual style, even if he asked now, Xue Yuanshan would not tell him.

Lou Yuyu also got up, just as Xue Yuanshan said, and sent Xue Yuanshan on his last journey.

In the evening of this day, the cold wind in the southern suburbs hunted, and today was the boundary, blowing everything before today into the past.
