When Shu Yan heard this, he also uncharacteristically echoed Cheng Qilu and said: "Yes, General Cheng, who said it wasn't?" ”

At this moment, Cheng Qilu and Shu Yan are both feeling honest with each other in their hearts, which is really a great blessing in life!

"Yan'er, then why are you looking for my Royal Highness so late?" Cheng Qilu asked Shu Yandao curiously.

"I'm going to say goodbye to His Royal Highness the Prince, what about you? General Cheng, why are you looking for my second master so late? Shu Yan asked Cheng Qilu in turn.

"I'm going to apologize to Bailiwei." Cheng Qilu replied truthfully.

Shu Yan, who had already heard that Cheng Qilu had stabbed Chen Chi to death with a shot last night, heard Cheng Qilu's answer at this moment, and his heart instantly understood.

"General Cheng, it's getting late at night, you and I should act separately as soon as possible! You go to Wufu Zhai as soon as possible to apologize to my second master, and I will also go to Jian Zeyuan as soon as possible to say goodbye to your Royal Highness, hoping that after we have completed our actions in a while, we can still meet on this dark path; I hope that in the future, after we each fulfill our wishes, we can meet again on that bright road. Shu Yan told Cheng Qilu about the beautiful hopes in her heart.

Cheng Qi Lu Wenzhi said to Shu Yan in a loud voice: "Yes, it will be, Yan'er, as the so-called 'different paths to the same end', even if we don't happen to meet on this dark path for a while, we will definitely meet again on that bright road in the future." ”

In this way, Cheng Qilu and Shu Yan each ran towards their destination with different ideas but the same hopes.

Shaoqing, Cheng Qilu, who arrived at Wuyu Zhai first, sincerely apologized to Bai Liwei for his act of killing Chen Chi last night.

"Second Master Wei, I am deeply sorry for what happened to your personal attendant last night; But I have to do it, because it is my job to eradicate the rebels and thieves, and your personal attendant is the killer of the rebels and thieves. Cheng Qilu apologized to Bai Liwei and explained.

"Captain Cheng, I have always had a question in my heart about you." Baili was cold and unguarded to Cheng Qilu and sold Guanzi Road.

"What's the doubt?" Cheng Qilu asked curiously.

"The truth about the murder of the former generals of the Quartet was already full of suspicion and rumors before it was revealed to the world yesterday. In the whole world, few people would believe that the emperor was innocent; But why do you, Cheng Taiwei, who is by the emperor's side, always unswervingly guard the emperor and his precarious throne? Bai Liwei told Cheng Qilu the long-standing doubts in his heart.

"It is precisely because I am by the side of the Holy One that I believe in the Holy One even more. Because trust is mutual, the reason why the Holy Lord appointed me as the Captain of the Celestial Empire and was in charge of the Celestial Empire's soldiers and horses was precisely because the Holy Lord trusted me incomparably! And I naturally can't live up to his trust, even if everyone in the world doubts him, I have to stand by his side and question the people in the world. Cheng Qilu replied impassionedly.

"In the same way, you have your mutual trust, and I have my friendship. As far as you Cheng Taiwei is concerned, maybe Zheng Zhong and Chen Chi are just killers raised by rebellious ministers and thieves; But as far as I am concerned, the two of them are brothers who are closer than my eldest brother who is related by blood. Although the three of us did not burn incense like your 'Seven Sons of the Netherworld', the friendship between us without any form of bondage was stronger and stronger. Baili said tactfully.

"Second Master Wei, I, Cheng Qilu, have always been a wise person and don't say dark words. I'll confess that I used to think that you were nothing more than a helpless little white face; I was also puzzled by Yan'er's choice of you, and of course I was inevitably haunted. But just now, my original one-sided view of you suddenly changed. You may never be as brave and fearless as I am, but I also have to admit that you are indeed more charismatic and conquering than me. Cheng Qi Lu Xinfu said.

"The hearts of men have stopped beating, so what is the use of conquering them?" Bai Liwei, who was still immersed in the fact that Zheng Zhong and Chen were naked and couldn't extricate himself, muttered to himself infinitely sadly.

At the same time, Shu Yan, who was hurrying forward, had also arrived at Jian Zeyuan.

And at this moment in Jian Zeyuan, Gongsun Xianye was sitting alone in front of his bookcase that no one had dared to sort out for him, but he could never wait for the voice of the maid who was always cautious, but more heartfelt than anyone else, and more willing to work for him than anyone else.

Even if the night passes and the sun rises again, Gu Liangsheng will no longer step on the morning sun and bathe in the morning light to come to Jian Zeyuan to serve flower tea to his grandson Xianye. Because Gu Liangsheng is no longer there, with her fragrant and fragrant flower tea, she has forever left this criss-crossed, complicated world, which always brings her disappointment, but always bursts out of hope for her in disappointment.

However, he could never wait for Gu Liangsheng's grandson Xianye, but waited for Gu Liangsheng's former master, Shu Yan.

It's just that Shu Yan won't be like Gu Liangsheng did before his death, cautiously entering the main room without vain fasting!

Of course, not only Shu Yan, but no one will and cannot carefully deal with every breath and pulse of Gongsun Xianye as Gu Liangsheng did before his death.

Because in this world, there will be no one who cares about cherishing Gongsun Xianye as much as Gu Liangsheng; It's a pity that now even the only person who cares so much about cherishing Gongsun Xianye is not in this world.

So, I only heard it in a hurry, and when I saw that the lights in the room were bright, Shu Yan, who strode into the main room of Jian Zeyuan, said coldly to Gongsun Xianye, who was in a trance: "Your Highness, I once heard the young master inadvertently mention that Your Highness, you have always had the habit of reading at night, and this habit will not be easily disturbed by the chaos of the outside world; That's why I've come to bother you, Your Highness, at night, because I know that you, who have the habit of reading at night, must not have rested yet. It's just that I don't think about it, Your Highness, instead of reading at night today, as always, you wasted a lot of time in front of the bookcase. ”

Shu Yan's accusatory greeting instantly pulled Gongsun Xianye back from his state of oblivion, but failed to pull Gongsun Xianye out of his gloomy and sad state.

Because Gongsun Xianye was hurt too deeply, and the person who hurt him was not someone else, but himself, and his failure hurt others and himself; Because Shu Yan didn't have this ability yet, otherwise, she would have saved herself from her gloom and sadness.

So, when Gongsun Xianye, who came back to his senses, waited for Shu Yan to automatically sit on the square stool next to the square table by the window, he responded to Shu Yan with a strong spirit: "I'm sorry, second aunt, I disappointed you, I thought I was not shocked and proud of the habit, but I didn't expect to be disturbed by the chaos of the outside world after all." ”

When Shu Yan heard this, he corrected Gongsun Xianye again and again: "Your Highness, in fact, what disrupts you and your habits is not the chaos of the outside world, but your own heart, but the reality that you are powerless to change. ”

When Gongsun Xianye heard this, he unconsciously took a deep breath, and then sighed: "Maybe, who knows?" ”

"By the way, second aunt, you came to look for me so late, but you have something important to discuss with me?" Gongsun Xianye, who had returned to reality, asked Shu Yandao.

"It's nothing important, but I heard that Your Highness is going to leave this Jinhong Water Heart Fort tomorrow, leave this Fuling City, and return to the imperial capital, so I thought that I would take advantage of the abundant time tonight to say goodbye to Your Highness in advance, which can be regarded as a beginning and an end!" Shu Yan responded.

"There is a beginning and an end, consistently, very good, very good." Gongsun Xianye, who heard it thoughtfully, sighed inexplicably.

"In addition, by the way, I will inform Your Highness again, after I return to Wufu Zhai in a while, I will make some double grain cakes overnight, and I will bother Your Highness to bring the double grain cakes I made myself to the queen mother in the imperial capital before leaving tomorrow morning, so as to express my nostalgia and gratitude to the queen mother for many years. Having said that, in fact, I have long planned to bother Your Highness to bring my little thoughts to the Queen Mother before you leave and return to the palace; So a month ago, when I found out that Your Highness suddenly said goodbye and disappeared overnight, I thought that Your Highness you would never return to this Jinhong Water Heart Castle, and I was disappointed for a while! Because I knew it would be difficult to find another opportunity to express my heart to the queen. Shu Yan asked Gongsun Xianye to say.

When Gongsun Xianye heard this, he did not pay attention to Shu Yan's request for him to bring Shuanggu Crisp for Baili Rong, but focused on Shu Yan's casual words, "I think Your Highness, you will never return to this Jinhong Water Heart Castle".

So, I only heard Gongsun Xianye say remorsefully: "If I really never returned to this Jinhong Water Heart Fort at that time, she wouldn't have to die to save me; What's more, I shouldn't have come back in the first place. What do you do when you come back? Not only did he not explain it clearly, but he also took a vivid, bright, pure and innocent life in vain. ”

However, just as Gongsun Xianye said this, his attention involuntarily returned to the matter that Shu Yan had asked him just now, just because he suddenly recalled the name "Shuanggu Crisp" that Shu Yan had just brought along.

Shuanggu Crisp - this familiar name reminded Gongsun Xianye of the Shuanggu porridge that Gu Liangsheng personally served him when he was there.

Gongsun Xianye, who fell into reminiscence in an instant, clearly and completely recalled the scenes of the night of Lixia more than three months ago and the morning of the next day; recalled the hungry appearance of Gu Liangsheng on the night of the beginning of summer; also recalled Gu Liangsheng's appearance of being full of wine and food the next morning.
