As soon as Dong Tianyi's front foot left, Gao Ran had just withdrawn his gaze from the direction he had gone and was about to re-enter the road, when he saw Zuo Yi's back foot coming from a distance.

"Oh, what day is it? Why did so many people come to see me off? It seems that I really don't have any secrets here...... Even if I don't say anything, I should know, they really haven't been left behind......"

Gao Ran simply dismounted and stood there waiting for Zuo Yi to come to her, and at the same time muttered: "I don't know if he came this time, did he see me off privately, or did he come to me on Ji Muqing's order?" However, Ji Muqing shouldn't have the leisure to take care of me at the moment, even if Ji Muchen has been greatly injured, it is still difficult to deal with......

Without thinking much about it, Zuo Yi had already walked forward. Gao Ran hurriedly put away the fugue just now, and asked him deliberately and seriously, "Uncle Zuo is here to see me off? Since he came with Dong Tianyi, why didn't he show up together?"

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't come with Dong Gongzi. We just happened to meet here. But since we are here for personal reasons, I have to wait until he has talked to you, and then I will come up to see you. ”

"Well, I believe what you say. After all, Dong Tianyi really has no reason to come with you—not to mention, he really didn't come to me for business......"

Speaking of this, Gao Ran unconsciously remembered the inexplicable words that Dong Tianyi said before, but this time in retrospect, she vaguely understood his possible intentions, so she couldn't help coughing a little embarrassed, and hurriedly continued to say to Zuo Yi again: "By the way, Uncle Zuo, since you are here, there is one thing that I have always been worried about, and I will tell you directly this time." Since the last time we separated, you have been deliberately avoiding meeting me alone, and I thought that you would avoid me like this in the future. Why? Now that I'm leaving, I can't help but see me off? Well, you're right. Maybe, after this one, you'll never see me again......"

When he said this, Gao Ran was half joking, and half was lamenting the bad luck of his trip.

But when he heard Zuo Yi's ears, he not only heard Gao Ran's meaning, but also thought of himself. simply followed the last sentence she said, which could also be applied to him, and replied to her: "Yes, I think this should be the last time we will see each other in this life." So, take care. ”

"Hmm, what do you mean by that?" Gao Ran immediately became alert. Although she had a hunch about it, she never wanted to see it come true.

But Zuo Yi had to ruin the last bit of luck in her heart, and he smiled lightly:

"You're so smart, don't you understand what I mean?

"But I don't have any regrets. Everything was done willingly. And you know that this is the only way to make your Majesty stop having a grudge against you.

"What's more, I did not report Ye Yu's poisoning, and I can be regarded as an indirect accomplice. Even if you dare not touch me in your face, the knot between him and you will not be able to truly untie the knot between him and you for a day if I exist......

"That being said, you really don't have to sacrifice yourself for me. I don't care if he wants to be innocent of me. Anyway, with the restraint of the concentric Gu, he didn't dare to really do anything to me. Besides, I may not be able to come back alive this time, so he is worried about his relationship with me in the future, which is too anxious. - With my involvement, it is still unknown whether he will survive until then.

"What's more, Ji Muchen is not dead yet, and the forces that support him have not been completely subdued. Where did he still have the heart to think about this?

"Moreover, since he has become a king, he naturally can't retain too many personal emotions like he did when he was just a prince in the past, and everything should be considered more from the overall situation. Otherwise, he may not be able to sit on the throne for long!"

"I'm talking angrily again! You know that I have to die. Even if it is to appease the hearts of my ministers, I will die once the duties of assisting the new monarch are completed. Otherwise, even if Your Majesty does not blame me, he will make his courtiers unstable by letting me go. If this is the case, it is not a question of whether he can sit on the throne for a long time, and whether he can keep it will affect the future national fortunes of Jiaoguo...... Why bother?"

"So he knows......" Zuo Yi said so bluntly, it was impossible for Gao Ran to continue to avoid the important and pretend to be stupid and perfunctory. So he had no choice but to ask the last question without confidence: "So, you have decided to do so?"

"Hmm. You don't have to feel guilty, it's my own choice. It is true that I don't want to see you have a dislike with Your Majesty because of me, but more importantly, for the first time in my life, I want to be the master of myself: since I am destined to die, I want to use my life to do something for the people of Li in the end. In this way, I can die without regrets.

"You said that it is not my fault that I was born at this time, nor is it necessarily the fault of this world, and you said that everything needs to have a process...... I believe what you say! Therefore, I am willing to use this last bit of value to do something for this world, and think of it as accumulating merit for myself. If he could do what you say, that I am not dead, but that I have continued to exist in some other way, then I will be proud of what I have done. At least, I lived up to myself. ”

Gao Ran looked at Zuo Yi and was silent for a while before replying in a low voice: "Since it is your choice, I respect you." Then let's leave it at that. If there is an afterlife, may we ever see each other again. May we have a time to meet. ”

As he spoke, Gao Ran solemnly bowed to Zuo Yi to show his farewell, and Zuo Yi also solemnly returned the salute to her.

After that, Gao Ran got back on the horse, only smiled at him, and drove the horse to take the first step. If you don't look back, you won't look back in this life......

——

Since the direct purpose of this trip was to meet Gao Xi, Gao Ran did not choose the route that came to Luoyang City with Ye Yu, but chose another route with the shortest distance directly to the destination. It's just that in this way, she will stagger the medical valley and will not pass through there. That also means that if she doesn't come back in the future, and she doesn't encounter any danger of having to ask Zhao Yi for help, then she is likely to never see Zhao Yi and her son in the medical valley for a long time.

However, even though the distance was much shorter, by the time she had reached the rendezvous by the time she had only traveled during the day and rested at night, more than a month had passed.

For more than a month, no matter how deliberately Zuo Yi deliberately concealed Gao Ran's goodbye, Ji Muqing should have noticed it. And this point, when the people of Tiange recently informed her that Ji Muqing had sent a subordinate to chase her alone three days ago, and he would catch up with her in a few days, she knew about it.

However, in this way, it can be regarded as informing Gao Ran in disguise: Zuo Yi is probably no longer alive at this time - because the last value of his stay with Ji Muqing has been fulfilled, and it is time to give Ji Muqing and the ministers an explanation - responsible for his crime of not hindering Ye Yu from poisoning the Banana Emperor.

"It seems that his throne is already secured. No, he shouldn't be stupid enough to try to prevent me from returning to Yunxiang, otherwise even if he sits on the throne, he will have to make the entire Banana Country be affected by Yunxiang's war because of today's delay. But there's really no way he's going to sit still and wait for me to come back unharmed. - After all, he is on the line with my life, and even if he is not worried about my safety, he has to send his henchmen to protect me in order to protect his own safety.

"Hmm...... It seems that he will send someone to chase me, in addition to wanting to monitor my whereabouts, and more importantly, to ensure my safety. Otherwise, even if he is far away in the country of bananas, he will still suffer with me.

"Well, that's true. ”

Gao Ran felt that she should have thought of Ji Muqing's possible intentions, but she was a little curious: who could be in charge of this? Does he really know what is at stake?—— she felt that after seeing that person, she would have to understand his details, because he was actually the person who Tiange couldn't find out the details for a while.

With such a complex background, Ji Muqing was specially sent to her side...... Gao Ran naturally couldn't help but be vigilant, and had the necessary curiosity about this person.

Besides, if he can get to know this person more deeply in the future, maybe he can really help her. - Since Ji Muqing can send him, then he must have an advantage that even Tiange and Medicine Valley may not have, otherwise, if he only acts as Ji Muqing's eyeliner, then the timing of his sending henchmen is too inappropriate! This will only add to Gao Ran's trouble, and in the end, it will only self-defeating harm himself. - Because of the relationship between her heart and her life, she is not happy, and he should not think about it.

With such curiosity, Gao Ran simply met with Gao Xi and discussed with him their respective actions, while Gao Xi immediately began to prepare for the relocation of forces, she temporarily stayed alone in Zhao Feng's mansion, waiting for the arrival of the people sent by Ji Muqing.

She decided to wait for the man here for seven days. This is based on the fastest travel speed of the Heavenly Pavilion, and the approximate time it would take to cover the entire distance of the same route alone. Of course, these seven days were the time remaining after deducting the three days which she knew the man had spent on the road, and all the hours until this day which she had begun to count after she had learned of them.

Gao Ran felt that going to Yunxiang this time was extremely dangerous, and at present, it seemed that the situation over there was not so bad that it was completely a situation of open contention, but was still in a fierce and secret battle. Therefore, if she doesn't have a strict enough review of the comprehensive strength of the people close to her, then she will be the first to be unlucky.

Therefore, no matter how special the person Ji Muqing sent to her, she couldn't tolerate people who were far inferior to Tiange, the most basic quality of "chasing people", to stay by her side. - Even if it can't be stronger than the Heavenly Pavilion, at least it can't be worse than the Heavenly Pavilion, otherwise, wouldn't the secret guards of the Heavenly Pavilion lurking near her still have to protect one more person?

What's more, if it is more serious, with Ji Muqing's current strength, he will not be able to force her to act according to his wishes. If she complied, it was only because she hadn't touched her bottom line, and she was willing to sell him face and favors, but it didn't mean that she had to do it!
