"Senior brother, are you accusing me?" Shi Yuanji stood up and looked at Yuan Rang coldly.

"I'm not accusing you, I'm saving you. A choked sound came from Yuanrang's throat, and his eyes became moist. "You don't know how powerful the Eight Pillars Kingdom is in the imperial court, how can you fight them as a student?"

"Listen to my advice, Yuanji, even if you want to be a great master, you have to find a stable backer. Instead of rashly forming a society, this is a moth to a fire!"

"Senior brother, I'm a little disappointed in you. Shi Yuanji sat back in his chair and regained his indifferent expression. "But I don't blame you, I know that you are the eldest son of the Yuan family's generation, and you must think about the family. ”

Yuan Rang really cried, and hurriedly said: "Yuan Ji, I ......"

"There is no need to do this, brother. The corners of Shi Yuanji's mouth still smiled, as if there was no conflict with Yuan Rang. "I said, I don't blame you. ”

"I never think that there is any genius in this world, even if it is Li Yinzhi, he can only stand on the shoulders of his predecessors in order to climb high and look far. ”

"Knowledge shouldn't be in the hands of a few, like you say, it's stupid. Obviously, the more people have knowledge, the more opportunities they have to get closer to the truth. ”

Seeing Yuan Rang's crying expression, Shi Yuanji was a little confused, so he had no choice but to comfort him: "Senior brother, you don't need to be like this. With your skills and family background, it's not easy to get a good job, so why be so sad?"

"Those who take the recipe to invite merit, how can they do their best to study the mysteries? Dugu Xin and others will not be able to avoid you and me after all. In whatever the case, why should you worry and cry?"

As soon as the words fell, Yuan Rang's crying stopped abruptly. To Shi Yuanji's surprise, the expected joy did not appear from Yuan Rang's pupils.

What emerged was despair.

"You don't believe me?" said Yuan Rang as he slumped in his chair and said in a hoarse voice.

"Do you think I'm bound to stand on the side of the Eight Pillars Nation, and you think my advice to you is hindering you?"

Shi Yuanji nodded invisibly, in agreement.

"Yuanji, it's not that I disagree with you, but you're in too much of a hurry. You ......"

"Senior brother, what are you afraid of?" Shi Yuanji was a little impatient, turned his head and waved his hand. "As the eldest son of your Yuan family, what are you afraid of? Even if the Eight Pillars National Clan settles this matter, it will be a mud leg like me who will die. ”

Yuan Rang supported his knees with his elbows, and his hands were clenched into fists against his forehead, making it difficult to see his face. Obviously, his heart was greatly touched, and Shi Yuanji's taunt worked.

"What am I going to do to make you believe me?" Yuan Rang looked up and wiped the tears from his face.

"Master Yuan, it's not important, I'm afraid we won't be all the way. With that, Shi Yuanji got up and wanted to go back to the dormitory to rest.

Yuan Rang squeezed his fists viciously, stood up suddenly, and seemed to use the strength of his life, and said to Shi Yuanji.

"Actually, I'm not a member of the Yuan family. ”

"Huh?" Shi Yuanji stopped and turned back in shock.

Yuan Rang sat back in his chair, his eyes were empty, and he said in a trance: "The Yuan family has a genetic disease, and it is getting more and more serious in this generation. Among the young people of this generation, they are either disabled or have died young. What's worse is that the eldest son Yuan Rang is an idiot!"

"I am a child picked up by Yuan Er, a slave of the Yuan family, and they all add me to Abang. When I was a child, I did some chores, and when I was seven years old, I took care of Yuanrang, that fool. The head of the Yuan family said that I was noble, and when I met the guests, I asked me to come forward and replace the Yuan family, so as not to lose face for the Yuan family. ”

"Taking the opportunity to take care of Yuan Rang, I can read and write. I also had the opportunity to listen to the knowledge taught by the master Master invited by their Yuan family. That's how I was able to practice to the level of natural disasters. ”

With Yuan Rang's self-description, Shi Yuanji's inner consternation increased instead of decreasing. He relied on the teachings of his master, who was a god, to achieve something, but it was already difficult. But the Yuan Rang in front of him, with only the body of a mortal and the teachings of a mortal, can also become a natural disaster.

It's a demon!

"The Yuan family didn't take me seriously, but the teacher took a fancy to my talent and insisted on paying for me to take me away. After thinking about it, Yuan Jia finally compromised and asked me to replace Yuan Rang's identity and fully support me in my studies. ”

"Which teacher?" asked Shi Yuanji eagerly.

"Who else?**. After Yuan Rang finished saying this name, he took a deep breath and seemed to be a lot more relaxed.

Yuan Rang stood up and looked at Shi Yuanji calmly: "Yuan Ji, can you trust me now?"

"I'm sorry, senior brother, I shouldn't have questioned you. Shi Yuanji bowed and apologized solemnly.

"Although you have made up your mind, I still have to remind you not to rush. Of course, you won't listen. Yuan Rang spread his hands and smiled bitterly.

"Senior brother, there's nothing to be afraid of. Shi Yuanji snorted lightly, his expression indifferent. "There is no danger in running this society. The Eight Pillars Nation will not do anything to me, I have confidence. ”

"Okay, what do you need me to do? I'll do my best to help you. Yuan Rang exhaled the last breath of turbidity, and the haze on his face was swept away. "I don't know where you got your confidence, maybe it's because you're royal. But since you're not afraid, I have nothing to fear. ”

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny really took great pains, and the corners of Shi Yuanji's mouth twitched slightly.

"I think it's better to take the initiative to find people, let's draw up a list of people who agree with brainstorming. Shi Yuanji coughed to hide his embarrassment. "By the way, who is that person today?"

"Zhao Lipeng, the same year as me, the Spirit Weapon Section, you can fight for it. Yuan Rang said.

The two drew up a list, and when they talked about it, they went back to the dormitory to rest.

......

In the palace, the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny was lying on a chaise longue, enjoying the warmth brought to him by the sunset.

The curse of the Stone lasted for a long time, leaving his body weaker and weaker. During the day, he felt inexplicably cold, but at night he was sweltering and breathless.

As a last resort, government affairs will be handed over to Hu Dan.

Before he became the regent, Hu Dan was the de facto regent, and now, everything seems to be back to square one.

There was uneasiness in his heart, as if he was suspended in the air by an invisible force, and the cold wind howled incessantly, making him tremble, and at some point the invisible force would disappear, causing him to fall to the ground and shatter his bones.

When he first ascended the throne, this uneasiness surrounded him all the time. Hu Dan, Ouyang Xun and Gui Yihu, as ministers who care for their lives, support and contain each other, and he lives in the triple shadow of weakness, isolated and helpless.

Fortunately, Hu Dan's shadow was not malicious and became his refuge. Over time, Hu Dan became his pillar.

And now too.

"Your Majesty, Shi Yuanji will not refuse. Hu Dan stood aside.

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny did not answer, but just squinted at the gate of the palace, without any emotion in his eyes.

Hu Dan was a little anxious and comforted: "Your Majesty, don't give up hope, there will be a way." ”

"Hmm. The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny replied noncommittally.

The awkward silence came again, and Hu Dan had no choice but to look at the gate of the palace again.

Outside the gate, Shi Yuanji had just visited Lao Ma and was about to enter the palace to face the saint, but he saw a familiar figure.

"Brother Yuanji, why are you here?"

Today's Princess Nayu has an extraordinary temperament, wearing a purple robe that can only be worn by a princess, and her expression is profound, not at all like a sixteen-year-old girl.

"I've been waiting for you, and the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny has also invited me. A warm smile bloomed on Nayu's face. "It seems that the rumors are true, Brother Motoyoshi is a member of the royal family who lives among the people. ”

"I see. The corners of Shi Yuanji's mouth twitched slightly, and he was noncommittal to Nayu's words. "Shen Shi is coming, let's enter the palace. ”

"Wait a minute, Brother Yuanji, don't you think the Heavenly Mandate Emperor is a little weird?" Nayu stopped Shi Yuanji at the right time.

Of course there are weirdness, of course it's weird to be cursed by the gods, Shi Yuan Jixin said.

"Brother Yuanji, I can help you. Nayu took Shi Yuanji's arm. "From the day you fought with Dugu Xin, I knew that you wanted to do a big thing. ”

"You don't know how terrible the struggle in the court is, but I do. ”

"I've been used to these power games since I was a child, framing, assassination, alliances, rebellions, and killing people with knives ......"

Nayu narrated everything she had thought about a long time ago, and her tone was relaxed as if she was doing something homely.
