"Oh...... Xu Wei means to ask each other, a man with outstanding military achievements, who can kill the enemy outside and become a wolf and lion general in the mouth of the enemy, and the undefeated Muyang County Duke. If you have terrified thousands of enemies, will you also have someone you want to protect? ”

Helian Cheng was shocked when he heard this.

I once asked myself, I have killed so many people, who is in my heart who is worth guarding for a lifetime. If a person's hands are only stained with blood, and this life is all for others, for fame and fortune, for power and wealth, then when is this life for the people he loves and cherishes?

He didn't wear armor today, he didn't wear a cold mask, he just showed himself as an ordinary man.

Helian Cheng's face was dull, and he sighed softly: "Perhaps, there should be." It's just that...... Only now she has not appeared by her side. Painter Xu, is there such a person around you that makes you care about it? Even if he has broken his head and removed his official position and wealth, he has to protect it. ”

sighed for a long time, and the voice did not fall. Xu Wei had already nodded and smiled: "There is such a person in my heart, I believe that there will be such a person in the county prince in the future, whether it is around him or in his heart." ”

Undoubtedly, Xu Wei is talking about Chu Li.

Chu Li is the person in Xu Wei's heart, but not the person next to Xu Wei.

"Artist Xu is a person who likes to hide his heart in the bottom of his heart, and he is surprised by surprise, and then he is amazing in one fell swoop." The corners of Helian Cheng's mouth curled up in a gentle arc and smiled. "That's it, that's all for today, and now I'm going to the main hall to meet the emperor. Painter, we'll talk another day. ”

Originally, Xu Wei should have avoided the powerful families in the court, but now he has more confidant-like feelings for the prince of Muyang County, and he wants to keep him in the academy to talk more.

It's just that the time is not in a hurry, Xu Wei got up and said: "It's good to talk another day, I don't dare to let the county prince delay the emperor." ”

Xu Wei was really very polite, and Helian Cheng got up to thank him and left.

Although Xu Wei did not tell him the cause and effect of going to Suzhou and seeing Chu Li, Xu Wei had already clearly explained the general situation to Helian Cheng, and Helian Cheng could roughly guess the rest.

On the Jinluan Palace, Helian Cheng bowed slightly.

This was a special case given to him by Helian Yang, who never knelt down to answer.

"Ah Cheng, I heard that Chu Li saw you before leaving Suzhou?" Helian Yang asked about what happened that day, "Did you stop Chu Li's sedan chair after Xu Wei saw Chu Li?" ”

Helian Cheng actually didn't want to break it, if it was himself, he would definitely not be so calculating.

It will be above board to let her know that she likes her.

But Helian Yang is different, he is not a gentleman, even as a generation of monarchs. He knew that what he liked was a married woman, but he still let himself continue to like it, even if he knew that Chu Li was the queen of Liuguo, he didn't even think about wanting to take women through the war between countries.

Although Helian Yang had never said this to Helian City, Helian City had already guessed it.

Helian Cheng got up and looked at Helian Yang with his eyes: "Your Majesty, you know everything." ”

"I know, there are so many people around Xu Wei, I don't want to know and I will be told. I heard that you got on Chu Li's sedan chair that day, didn't you do anything inappropriate? Helian Yang was dressed in a yellow robe, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

It seems that he still doesn't believe in himself.

The man standing with His Royal Highness smiled lightly: "Is the emperor worried that his ministers will hurt the queen?" The minister knew that the emperor must have the emperor's idea when he went to Suzhou on this trip, so how could he destroy the emperor's plan? The minister just accepted the invitation of the queen and got on the sedan chair to talk to the queen for a few words. For the rest, the ministers did not dare to exceed the rules. ”

This sentence was meant to be an explanation, which should reassure Helian Yang. But obviously, the words did not reassure Helian Yang at all, but they were even more vocal into the bone marrow.

"I also heard that Ah Cheng didn't make a move on Chu Li, but Chu Li honestly invited you to the sedan chair." Helian Yang was curious about what they said on the sedan chair, but he didn't ask.

Because he didn't know how to speak.

Helian Cheng has always been a bright and upright person, he doesn't want to hide anything from Helian Yang, and because it is Chu Li's business, he doesn't want Helian Yang to think that he is deliberately hiding or lying.

He said bluntly: "Actually, Chen, I have seen Chu Li a long time ago. But...... When I first met Chu Li a few years ago, I didn't know the identity and name of this woman, but I had guessed that she was from Liuguo. I didn't know that she would now become the queen of Liuguo, and that the emperor would serve her in Suzhou. ”

This move is risky, but it can win Helian Yang's trust in him in danger.

Helian Yang has never trusted anyone, he is suspicious, but he pretends not to care about anything, and sometimes he can even pretend that he doesn't know everything, but in fact, he has already investigated all the suspicious people in the dark. Helian Cheng was thinking, maybe the whereabouts of Chu Li, who had been chasing for seven years, had already been known to Helian Yang.

The man in the yellow robe sat on the dragon chair, got up slightly, and stood in place. His eyes were like cold stars staring at Helian City of His Highness.

"You're telling the truth, and I don't blame you. It's just that...... You were able to accept Chu Li's sincere invitation that day, and I can also regard it as your kung fu, Chu Li had to let you into the sedan chair because of your deterrent, fortunately you knew how to be measured and didn't hurt her. Helian said.

Helian Cheng was also embarrassed to refute Helian Yang's meaning, but he lowered his forehead and said: "The emperor guessed well, presumably this must be the intention of leaving the queen." It seems that the future ministers should also learn more from the emperor's grace and power, and learn from the gentleness and elegance of the painter, so that they can truly serve the public and win the hearts of the people. ”

"It's good that you can think like this, it seems that you have met Xu Wei?" Helian Yang seems to have been more vigilant about Helian City's whereabouts since his trip to Suzhou.

He even knew about Helian Cheng going to the painting academy to talk to Xu Wei just now.

So, is Helian City going to hang his heart even more in the air now? It was like walking on thin ice under his feet, but all he could do was patience and perseverance.

He almost didn't expect that after seven years of hard work, a woman would lose Helian Yang's guard beyond his bottom line in an instant because of one of his own omissions.
