"Yuan Jue." After the banquet was dispersed, I watched Yuan Jue leave, avoiding everyone and catching up, but he didn't stop until I grabbed him with my own hands, but his cold look made me even more confused, "What's wrong with you." ”

Yuan Jue heard me ask what was wrong, so he raised his eyes to look at me. "You're asking what's wrong with me?"

I knew that I was wrong, so I avoided his gaze with a weak heart, "If you are still for, my attitude, well, I was wrong, and when this matter is over, you return to the palace safely, I will naturally give you an explanation." And this explanation probably won't be what he wants, I pursed my lips, "It's just that now, you have more important things to do, don't you?" Don't be childish, if you continue to provoke like this, if Xiong Lie discourages the idea of joining forces, won't you give up all your efforts? ”

"So what." Yuan Jue's answer was particularly calm, and the chill in his eyebrows made me feel that he was standing in front of me at the moment. "Do you think I didn't agree to Xiong Lie because I was angry? Do you think I proposed to see his strength just because I was childish? ”

I slowly let go of my hand, Yuan Jue was very strange, he was not like the person I thought he was, he had changed, maybe he had become better, but it wasn't until this moment that I realized that he had become so strange, I didn't know him at all.

"Why? Why do you think that everything I do is just childish, in your eyes," Yuan Jue asked, "Am I still just a child?" ”

What the hell is he in my eyes. I don't know, I thought I liked him, I thought I would want to keep him around, I even thought I wanted to protect him, but it turned out that I never knew him, and I just thought he was childish.

Yuan Jue looked down at my let go of the hand, but he didn't hesitate a little, he said to me indifferently, "You don't need to give me an answer, your own heart knot, you don't need to tell me the answer." He said that, as cold as a stranger, turned around and was about to leave, but after two steps out, he still stopped, "Niyin, I like that your mind has never changed, you think it's childish or good, but from the first time I saw you, I recognized you." It's just that I don't know why, you're always unsure, you're always hiding from me as if you're scared, you always have a lot of secrets that you don't want me to know. I don't know what you're afraid of, but I know that even if I don't have the ability to protect you now, I will do it desperately, you think I'm angry and told Xiong Lie that I want to see their strength, but in fact, your life, my life, their lives are now in my hands, and I can't get out of the pool, no matter how bad Yuan Jue is, I don't dare to gamble on everyone's lives to play a temper. ”

Yuan Jue's extraordinarily calm inexplicably makes me feel a little sad, he is no longer the child who needs to rely on others for everything, and he doesn't need me anymore. No, maybe he's not just a kid anymore, he's good enough, good enough, I've always been afraid to admit it, maybe at first I was just scared, when I felt that he was no longer a child, he needed to leave me, and he kept playing this kid in front of me, he played it so well, so good that I took it seriously.

But after all, he's not.

As he said, now that we are in the camp of Quxiong, everyone's lives are in his hands, and he can't make a difference. He was too responsible to let him continue to play with the child's temper.

Unexpectedly, on the first night of the Quxiong camp, I had insomnia.

The night is horribly long and terrifyingly quiet. I didn't have much sleep to sleep in, and with the weight of the moment, I lay there with my eyes wide open and stared at the top of the tent for the whole night.

“…… What happened between the second son and his sister, the two of them were fine before the banquet last night, why did my sister go out for a trip, they seemed to be different? ”

It was about to dawn, and I heard Hou Yue talking to someone outside my tent.

As soon as I got up and wanted to take a look, I heard Vice General Qiao's voice, "This matter should not be talked about, the second son is now in the grade of blood and strength, although Miss Niyin says that she is the master of the second son, but after all, we don't know what the situation is, the two of them look the same age, who knows what kind of relationship it will be in the future." ”

"But you can't say that," followed by Gao Yong's voice, "Since Miss Niyin has publicly said that she is the master of the second son, and the second son has also acquiesced, that is the master and apprentice, and everyone can see it." If the two of them develop some other relationships, it won't mess up the routine and distort the generation. ”

Why are they all out there?

Now it was my turn to hesitate, they probably didn't know that I hadn't slept at all, and they preferred to hear it. But now it's me, and I'm embarrassed to know whether to go out or not.

"Not necessarily, the master of the second son must be a person appointed by the old monarch, and it cannot be said that whoever wants to teach the second son is his master, they are different from the sons of ordinary people. The old monarch doesn't necessarily know about the second son and the Niyin girl, and it is impossible to appoint a little girl of the same grade as the second son to be his master. Vice General Qiao immediately denied Gao Yong's statement, "According to me, what master and apprentice are not master and apprentice is just a little trick of the two of them." ”

"Have you seen the king? How do you know that the king does not know? "Gao Yong is more serious than him.

Accepting Yuan Jue as an apprentice, it turned out that he still needed to be appointed by his father, but when I accepted him as an apprentice, I did not have the permission of the old monarch, so according to the meaning of Vice General Qiao's words, in fact, Yuan Jue and I are not real masters and apprentices, are we?

"Do you need to see this? Have you forgotten what they said? Ten years ago, the old monarch was seriously ill and bedridden, and he did not appoint other masters for the second son, and after that, the old monarch always took the second son with him and taught him personally. Where else is there anything to say about the master of the king, the matter of the Niyin girl and the second son, if you want me to say, it's a joke......" Vice Admiral Qiao said again and again, presenting all kinds of evidence to prove that in fact, it is nothing more than to show that the master-apprentice relationship between me and Yuan Jue is not justified, so even if what happens to me and him, it is not considered a violation of the guidelines and ethics.

"However, if you say that it is a master and an apprentice, then it is a master and an apprentice, if you want me to say, the second son and Miss Niyin are together, it is unreasonable." Gao Yong has been emphasizing that the common sense of master and apprentice cannot be violated.

"Wait a minute." Hou Yue suddenly interrupted their dispute, "Miss Niyin, could it be the woman that Shizi has been looking for?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.

Hou Yue felt embarrassed and coped, "It shouldn't be......"

"Thinking about it this way, the girl Niyin is somewhat similar to the woman she is looking for in Shizi's description......" Vice Admiral Qiao also hesitated, his voice sounding very uncertain, not knowing if he was suspicious of anything.

And Gao Yong, who had been arguing with him just now, didn't say a word at the moment.

I listened quietly in the tent, the woman the prince has been looking for? Me? If you say, Yuan He has looked for me in the past ten years, I am not too surprised, Yuan Jue also told me that Yuan He asked him about my whereabouts, but listening to their tone, I feel as if they have misunderstood something. As a friend, after all, we have known each other once, and there are a lot of processes in between, if Yuan Hyuk didn't mention it after I left, it seems that he is too unkind.

At that time, when Yuan Jue told me about this, he misunderstood Yuan He's purpose for looking for me. Now that these people are filled, I'm afraid it will be even more troublesome in the future, just now I was still arguing about the division of master and apprentice, and now I am inexplicably involved in a world.

"The prince also asked the second son about that woman, but didn't the second son say that he didn't know? Now seeing the appearance of the second son and the neon girl, they don't seem to have a relationship that has not been in touch, if the neon girl is the person the prince is looking for, the second son has no reason not to sue him. Maybe we guessed wrong, but the neon girl wasn't? The more Hou explained, the more embarrassed he became.

"Houzi, you, you're too simple." Gao Yong's inexplicable words made the people outside the tent fall silent again.

I can't bear it, I know that women in the world have long tongues, but I didn't expect that the men in the barracks are similar, good things, simple relationships, how come they have repeatedly twisted in their mouths and changed the taste, if I don't go out again, I really don't know what else they can say later.

After tidying up a bit, I lifted the curtain and walked out, my eyes falling on the three of them, and at the same time noticing the Yibe women who had been waiting outside the tent last night.

When they saw me, everyone looked at each other, as if what they had just said did not exist, and they were so calm that they could act as if nothing had happened. The women of Yibe also seemed to be unaware, and last night the woman stepped forward, bowed slightly, and greeted, "Girl, have you rested?" ”

"If I'm not mistaken, you were the woman who took me to the dinner last night." I just think it's a bit rude to meet for the second time and not know what to call people.

"If the girl doesn't dislike it, call me Aster." She smiled.

Aster?! Sure enough, it wasn't me who was dazzled last night, her dress was really different from other Yibe women, and it was a little gorgeous. But with the fact that she stepped forward alone several times, and the maid behind her was obedient to her, I think that the identity of this aster must not be simple in Quxiong.

"Aster girl, I wonder if you are waiting outside early in the morning, is there something wrong?" I looked at the faint light of the sky and wondered how I saw a group of people waiting outside the tent early in the morning.

"Sister." Hou Yue pushed away Vice General Qiao and Gao Yong and stepped forward, "King Quxiong and the second prince have already set off first, the king took the second son to the tribal training place to inspect, the second prince let us stay, and wait for my sister to wake up and then accompany my sister to go." ”

Yuan Jue has already gone? I didn't expect them to leave so early. But what do Aster and the others mean here......

"The king thinks that the person entrusted by the second son is credible, but it must be a little inconvenient for them to take care of the girl." Seeing my doubts, Aster first explained, "So the king asked me to accompany the girl, and the carriage is ready, I wonder if the girl can leave?" ”

"Sister......" Hou Yue didn't seem to believe these Yibu people, he still wanted me to go with them.

"Then let's go together, I'll ride in the carriage with Miss Aster, and Vice General Qiao and the others will go together if they want." I still have a lot of doubts about Yibe and Quxiong, so I can take this opportunity to ask this gentle and generous Aster girl a question or two.

Hou Yue pouted and reluctantly followed us.

In the carriage, there were only me and Miss Aster, so I asked her, "Miss Aster, I see that you seem to be different from other Yibu women, but I don't know if it's because your identity is different from them?" ”

Aster Ying smiled slightly, "Aster is the side room of the Great King. ”

"Side room?" Isn't that Xiong Lie's wife? Since I got married, I have a little understanding of the relationship between the side rooms of the main room in the world, and I know that the side room is not only a lady, but also a little lady who is lower than the main room. ”

"How so?" Aster didn't mind, "The girl's temperament is unrestrained, Aster is very envious, how can she blame the girl." It was Aster who had not been careful with her previous etiquette and failed to introduce herself to the girl. ”

It turns out that Mrs. Fang is also different, I thought that the Mrs. Fang in the world is of course the Li family, but I didn't expect that there is such a gentle, beautiful, and empathetic woman, Xiong Lie is really a blessing. It's just that Xiong Lie will let his side lady come to wait, is it because of the low status of this side lady, or because Xiong Lie really treats us as honored guests?

"The girl agreed to go with me, I am afraid that she wants to turn to me for help." Aster saw my thoughts, but said politely, "Since there is no one left and right now, the girl might as well come and listen, if Aster can help, she will definitely do it." ”

Don't hesitate?!

Although I wanted to ask her something, it didn't seem to be as strict as she thought, and Aster's words were unrelenting, as if to show some kind of determination. And her gentleness is because of ...... Have mercy on my situation? "I wonder what Lady Aster knows?"

Aster looked out of the carriage to make sure no one could hear us before continuing. "I hope it's just that Aster has misunderstood, but Aster really wants to help the girl, and the girl's temperament should be like the grass and trees on this grassland, and should not be traded as a bargaining chip. When Aster looked at the girl, she remembered her original self, and she didn't want the girl to be a poor woman like Aster again. ”

What exactly did she misunderstand?

However, it doesn't matter what she misunderstood, her words really moved me to the ears, this Aster is probably also a woman with an unfortunate experience, and when she says this, she must be as determined to help me at this time, just as I wanted to help Li at that time.

It's just that what kind of experience does she have, and what does this have to do with Xiong Lie? What is the connection with the Qu Xiong I suspected? (To be continued.) )
