Chapter 81: Beyond the City Gate

"Why, everyone is gone, and you still don't leave?"

Ji Yao watched Xie Wu alone on the city wall in a daze, and finally couldn't help but step forward and spit out this sentence coldly.

Xie Wei heard Ji Yao's voice coming from behind him, but he didn't look surprised, and he didn't turn his head because of this, but his eyes were still looking into the distance, and he slowly spoke: "I'm just waiting for today's sunset, when will it set?"

"No, there is no sunset you have to wait for today...... Ji Yao said this, and turned his head to look at himself, Ji Yao paused, and then said, "Because it will rain heavily in a while, you can't wait for it, and besides, I think the sunset is an insignificant thing for you, when did you care?"

"You say that this sunset is an insignificant thing to me, but how have you ever understood me, know what I want, and don't know what I want?" I don't know why, when Xie Wu said these words, the whole person looked very tired, and there was not even a trace of emotion in her eyes.

Ji Yao has thought of many possibilities, but she has never thought that it is possible to regret what she has done, and it is possible to give up everything she wants for the sake of her eldest brother.

They used to be good sisters who talked about everything, good sisters who swore to go on forever, but no one could ever understand anyone, and no one really knew anyone.

"There is not much time left, and there will inevitably be fewer and fewer people left here, so go all out and show no mercy. Xie Wei stared at Ji Yao's eyes tightly, and after saying this, he turned around and left.

But Ji Yao always felt that today's relief was a little weird, and there were some indescribable feelings, like the last blow before the fish died and the net was broken, and it was like parting before the helpless let go.

Ji Yao walked to the position where she had left, looking ahead from a distance, she looked at the gray land, and felt a little lost in her heart.

Although she didn't say why she was lost, a familiar voice came from behind her at this time: "Your Highness asked me to tell you that what you want him to do has been completed, and the agreement between you should be carried out." ”

Ji Yao didn't have to look back to know that it was Liu Xun, so she was even more reluctant to look back, and responded lightly: "I know, tomorrow I will definitely personally take those lists to Dingwang's Mansion, and hand over this list to His Royal Highness Dingwang." ”

"Good. After Liu Xun spit out this word, he was speechless, and always stood straight in place, without leaving, and without the intention of continuing to step forward, Ji Yao noticed the gaze behind him, and asked very uncomfortably, "Why don't you leave?"

"Ji Yao, the East Palace has begun a comprehensive revenge, maybe the prince will turn the target of the attack to you, especially if your eldest brother is not in the mansion, I am worried that the Chang family will ......" Liu Xun paused when he said this, in fact, Ji Yao had also thought about this problem.

It's just that she really didn't expect that the eldest brother would leave so decisively and so quickly, she carefully recalled what the eldest brother said to herself before leaving, she felt that maybe the eldest brother was blaming herself, and the eldest brother must know that the reason why King Ding did this was forced by himself, so he was so disappointed in himself.

But that's okay, although the eldest brother is gone, Ji Yao doesn't have to shrink back when he starts doing things, he can do whatever he wants, and he doesn't have to look at anyone's face because of the eldest brother, not to mention, now that there are people from Zhu Shang to help him, there will be no problem.

"Ji Yao, why don't you speak?"

Hearing Liu Xun's voice coming from behind him again, Ji Yao woke up and respectfully turned to look at the person in front of him: "Your Royal Highness King An, the Chang family naturally has a way to protect themselves, so I won't bother His Royal Highness King An." ”

"Don't be reckless, all the forces dispatched by the prince this time, how can you protect yourself just because your Chang family is weak? At such a critical time, it is not the time to be reckless, if you need anything to help, please tell me......" Liu Xun's words could not be finished, Ji Yao shook his head and interrupted him, retorted, " No, how tenacious the vitality of the Chang family is, His Royal Highness King An can never imagine, when the Chang family suffered such a big blow, whether it was from the East Palace, didn't the Chang family survive unharmed? Therefore, the Chang family can completely rely on its own power to protect itself. ”

Every time Ji Yao mentioned the matter of the Chang family, Liu Xun seemed to be dumb and ate Coptis chinensis, and he couldn't say it, because this matter was indeed something he did wrong, so he always felt guilty in his heart, and whenever Ji Yao said it, there was no way to refute it, so he could only bow his head silently.

"There's one thing you don't know, but I feel compelled to tell you, and you can be prepared for it. Liu Xun paused when he said this, as if he was hesitating about something, Ji Yao saw his embarrassed and tangled appearance, and knew that what he wanted to say must be something that King Ding didn't let him tell him, so he kindly said, "Excuse me, It's better not to say it to His Royal Highness King An, so as not to annoy His Royal Highness King Ding, then I will be a sinner." ”

"No, I'm not dwelling on that...... In fact, it has come to this point, I naturally believe in you completely, in addition to supporting King Ding, who else can you support? Could it be that you still want to support the prince who has a grudge against you to kill your father?" Hearing Liu Xun's defense, Ji Yao almost subconsciously asked, "Then what are you worried about?"

Liu Xun was silent for a moment, and did not mean to answer this question, but still paused, and chose to continue the topic at the beginning: "What I want to tell you is that the prince has been secretly gathering troops in private now, maybe in the near future, there will be a bloody storm in Jinling City, and you and I will inevitably be trapped in this blood city." ”

"That's not necessarily, I never planned to die with Jinling City, I don't know where you got this thought, didn't you always think that His Royal Highness Dingwang would definitely succeed? Then why do you always have the idea of sacrificing yourself to become Dingwang? Can't you live well?"

This passage is Ji Yao's sincere words, she really has no way to understand Liu Xun's thoughts, so she said these words in a little hurry at the moment.

Liu Xun's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he spoke almost immediately: "Do you want me to live well?

Hearing his words, Ji Yao responded coldly: "I'm worried that I can't say it, I just don't like your thoughts, no one wants to live well? Why should you sacrifice your life to fulfill others? Is your faith so important?"
