Chapter 51: Tacit Understanding

Rong Qing still shook his head, "When we got there, they had already run away. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

Zhao Ruoyun calculated the time in his heart, those people must have evacuated after discovering that they had fled down the mountain, and they knew that they must be exposed. Rong Qing stood up, squatted down, hugged Ruoyun in his arms, and caressed her to stand up. "It's not your fault, though I've pretty much got a pretty good grasp of their whereabouts. There's always a chance to catch them again. When I came, the emperor also said that your safety is the most important thing. You stay here first, and I'll pick you up tomorrow afternoon. With that, Rong Qing walked out.

Zhao Ruoyun hesitated for a moment, feeling that some words still had to be said to be reassured. "Brother, I looked at their stronghold, 12 houses, sixty or seventy people, and two shifts a day with lax discipline. It is possible to build weapons, but it is impossible for them to rebel. There is one leader who is called Childe, and the girls who were captured should have been ruined by Childe. Also, if you've been investigating them for so long, they should have been aware of the government's intervention before, so they moved to the mountains. It's just that after so long, I still don't have a clue where the weapons are going. No one else came to contact them. It is very likely that the people behind the scenes have abandoned the car and given them up. By all indications, these people are only involved in the periphery.

"Yunyun!" Rong Qing interrupted her, "What exactly do you want to say?" ā€

"I want to say that if Yujing is really involved, it is very likely that someone will take advantage of it, or even manipulate it. If he hadn't done anything bad, could he have spared his life? ā€

Rong Qing turned his back to Zhao Ruoyun and did not answer, Ruoyun did not urge, and Rong Qing sat down again after a long time. He looked at Zhao Ruoyun and said, "What does it mean that you haven't done anything that hurts nature and reason, the country has national laws, and the family has family rules, so I don't need to explain these things to you." ā€

"However, after all, he is the only bloodline of the third brother."

"Back then, the emperor let him go, and he was benevolent and righteous. He's a woe out there. I can't promise you anything, if he doesn't resist, I'll take him back to the emperor! Zhao Ruoyun knew that this was the biggest concession Rong Qing could make.

For a moment, both of them fell silent again.

"Yunyun, don't meddle in this matter again, those Jianghu people are loyal and treacherous, so try to have as little contact as possible. Pack your things and I'll pick you up tomorrow. Zhao Ruoyun knew that the people in the rivers and lakes that Rong Qing was talking about should refer to Fang Yu, but this was not the time to discuss who Fang Yu was. After speaking, Rong Qing got up and walked out.

After Rong Qing left, Su Ji took over the place with the guards, and it didn't take long for Tang Jue to arrive.

After lunch, Fang Yu came to visit Zhao Ruoyun as usual, but was stopped outside by the guards, "The prince has an order, the county lord's residence, and idle people are not allowed to enter." ā€

Fang Yu was angry when he heard it, I saved your county lord, if it weren't for me, maybe she would have been eaten by wolves a long time ago, and now I have become an idler. Before the oracle could strike, the door opened. Zhao Ruoyun stood at the door, looking at Fang Yu, didn't say anything, just looked at Fang Yu, looked at Fang Yu's eyes. Fang Yu was stunned at first, but after a while, he also looked at Zhao Ruoyun as Zhao Ruoyun looked at him. The two of them looked at each other silently, no one spoke, not even a superfluous expression, Zhao Ruoyun was as calm and indifferent as ever, Fang Yu looked at her eyes, her eyes seemed to have a kind of magic, which calmed people and made people come to their senses. Fang Yu's original anger and willfulness gradually dissipated under such a gaze. After a while, Fang Yu left with her head bowed, and Zhao Ruoyun looked at her departing back, and quietly closed the door.

For the two wise people, although they didn't say anything, they already knew it. After all, Fang Yu is from the rivers and lakes, and Zhao Ruoyun is the county lord of the Daluo Dynasty. Not to mention the huge gap in identity, even from the perspective of preserving Zhao Ruoyun's reputation and royal face, they should not be too close at this time. Zhao Ruoyun didn't speak because if he said it, he would undoubtedly draw a clear line and hurt his face. Fang Yu didn't argue because he understood Zhao Ruoyun's thoughts and knew that she was a person, but the rules and etiquette had to be followed. He left because he knew that he was advancing and retreating, and he didn't want Zhao Ruoyun to be entangled anymore. Therefore, after this silent exchange, Zhao Ruoyun had a little more gratitude and goodwill for Fang Yu.

Fang Yu has been worried about it since he saw Zhao Ruoyun's personal jade pendant that day. After dinner, drink alone on the roof of the inn. Just when he was depressed and had no one to accompany him, he felt a gaze watching him under the eaves porch where he was. He looked down and saw a small figure standing against the railing, it was Zhao Ruoyun who stood there looking at him at some point. He turned his head away, continued to drink, and ignored it. Unexpectedly, the little figure actually stood on the handrail of the corridor and continued to look at him. This time, Fang Yu was unavoidable, he dodged and came to the porch, and with great skill, he brought Zhao Ruoyun to the roof and placed it next to him.

"Didn't your mother tell you that it was dangerous to stand so high?"

"I've never seen my father, and my mother was gone when I was very young." Zhao Ruoyun sat down beside Fang Yu and asked, "Something on your mind?" ā€

"If you don't have something to do, you can't, appreciate the moon and drink a drink?" Fang Yu picked up the flask, took a sip, and put it down. Zhao Ruoyun looked at him without speaking, and reached out to pick up the wine jug next to him. "If your doctor doesn't even tell you that you shouldn't drink, I'd advise you to stay away from him." Zhao Ruoyun pouted and put the pot back.

"You have something on your mind, too?" Fang Yu asked.

"Well, sort of." If a person is always with someone who is stupider than himself, he will feel that life is tiring because you always have to explain a lot of things to him. Therefore, people always want to meet a confidant, and it is good to be able to meet an opponent in chess. When Zhao Ruoyun and Fang Yu were together, they could probably be regarded as between the two, they were neither confidants nor opponents, but it affected their smooth communication and mutual understanding beyond each other's imagination.

"I advise you not to think too much, there are some things that don't do you any good." Fang Yu said.

"Then why don't you persuade yourself so much." Zhao Ruoyun looked at Fang Yu's side face, and then asked.

Fang Yu didn't know how to answer for a while, people always persuade others easily, persuade themselves difficult? Or did he encounter this incident, he had to think about it. He glanced at Zhao Ruoyun next to him with his spare eyes, tied in a loose bun, and dressed simply and casually, without superfluous deliberate carving, let alone a trace of royal luxury, like an ordinary woman. It's just that her eyes are as calm as windless water, even if you know that there must be a turbulence under this that you don't know, she always seems to press all this. You want to get close to her heart, but she doesn't leak. is obviously a mortal fetus, but it makes people feel that she is a flying fairy outside the sky, she looks at you, but you can't catch her.
