Xie Yutang sneered, and where Chi Wan couldn't see, there was a trace of unwillingness in his eyes.

"He is against you everywhere, and this is the case when you control the waters, and now you are running and toiling every day, but the people are not grateful to you at all, but think that you are a wicked person. If no one is behind this, do you believe it? The more Chi Wan spoke, the more angry she became, and she hated to wake up those people, so as not to hurt the hearts of the real workers.

Xie Yutang pursed his lips silently, not wanting to continue the topic, so he took Chi Wan and sent her to the bed, "Rest, we'll talk about this later." ”

Chi Wan didn't give up, grabbed his sleeve, looked at him with bright eyes without blinking, and said word by word, "Xie Yutang, let's leave." ”

Leave this place of deceit, go to a place where there is no imperial power struggle, no calculation, and live a good life.

Xie Yutang looked at her with a complicated expression, and after a long time, he shook his head invisibly.

Chi Wan nervously half-straightened up, "Why, can't you give up your power?" ”

Xie Yutang has that ability, and he also likes to strategize, some people are born to like to control people, let him give up like this, he is naturally unwilling.

"It's not." Unexpectedly, Xie Yutang shook his head categorically.

Hearing this, Chi Wan looked dazed, no, what is that? What else made Xie Yutang reluctant to give up, after the King of Chu treated him like that?

Xie Yutang touched her head and explained to her in a soft voice, "Wanwan, some things are not as simple as you think,......

Before he could finish speaking, Chi Wan interrupted him excitedly, "Yes, I don't have as much as you think, but I know that I abandoned the car to protect the handsome." When is it, and what are you waiting for? Xie Yutang, didn't you say that as long as you are with me, you can go anywhere? ”

If he didn't agree, Chi Wan couldn't help but doubt the authenticity of this sentence.

"Yes, as long as I'm with you, I can do anything." That's why he can't leave so easily, he has people he wants to protect.

Now, he is stuck in the quagmire and can't extricate himself, how can it be so easy to get out?

He wanted to protect Chi Wan, so he could only be more careful.

Chi Wan didn't know the complexity of Xie Yutang's heart, and when she heard this, she suddenly ignited hope again, grabbed his big hand, and said softly, "Then let's leave, I'm tired of staying in the capital, I want to go somewhere else, let's leave, let's go to other places together, okay?" The king of Chu is just jealous of your power, once you let it go, he should look at the past and open the net. ”

Xie Yutang sighed in his heart, Wanwan, still too naïve. In the whole world, it is not the king's land, if the king of Chu really wants to take his life, no matter where he flees, he will be found. What's more, the emperor's heart has always been suspicious, how can he believe that he really wants to return to the mountains and forests, instead of pretending to hand over his rights to Taoguang and keep his eyes on it? When the time comes, I am afraid that it will make the King of Chu even more jealous of himself.

However, he was reluctant to say these words to make Chi Wan worried.

"Wanwan, if you leave the capital, I won't be able to give you such a good life." Xie Yutang made an excuse in a vain attempt to prevaricate the past.

Seeing that he was reluctant to let go, Chi Wan was anxious and disappointed, "Are you worried about our future life?" It's okay, I have so many shops, I won't let us go hungry. ”

"However, I am reluctant to let you suffer." Xie Yutang touched her hair gently, his eyes were full of love.

Chi Wan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, her heart was sweet and sad.

But how could Xie Yutang think that they would suffer if they left the capital?

Thinking that the other party didn't know the income of her shop, Chi Wan hurriedly walked to the cabinet, took out a stack of things, and put them in front of Xie Yutang as if offering treasures, and said expectantly, "Look at this." ”

"What is it?" Xie Yutang suspiciously picked up one of them.

Ji Wan didn't give him a solution, but blinked mysteriously, "You can see for yourself." ”

Xie Yutang glanced at it casually, then his pupils contracted suddenly, and he quickly flipped through it under his hand, and found that this stack was full of land deeds, some he knew, and some he didn't know, the number was staggering.

"Wanwan ......"

Chi Wan couldn't help but feel a little proud, and raised her chin slightly, "How about it, these are enough to feed us, so you don't have to worry about the hardships we will suffer after we leave the capital, with these, it is enough for us to live for a long time." ”

Xie Yutang liked her smug look very much, like a cat that had stolen a fish, he couldn't help but pull her over, hugged her in his arms, rubbed his chin against the top of her head, and his deep voice sounded slowly, "It's amazing." ”

If there was a tail, Ji Wan's tail must have been cocked.

She couldn't help but admire the visionary herself, fortunately, she had developed the industry before, otherwise she really didn't know where to get it when she used it.

Look, that's where it comes in.

"Then you, will you come with me?" Chi Wan buried herself in Xie Yutang's arms and asked sullenly.

At the mention of this, Xie Yutang was silent again.

He was extremely entangled in his heart, Chi Wan wanted to leave, in his heart, he actually wanted to leave, but everything was not as simple as he thought.

In the end, Xie Yutang didn't give Chi Wan a clear answer, Chi Wan knew his embarrassment, and didn't force him, but just told him that he would always be on his side.

The night was getting thicker, but Chi Wan didn't fall asleep for a long time, but it was Xie Yutang, because of the tiredness of the day, coupled with talking to Chi Wan, he shattered his trust in the King of Chu all along, and he was physically and mentally exhausted, and after lying down for a while, there was a long breathing sound.

Chi Wan straightened her waist and looked at Xie Yutang by the moonlight, this face was so handsome that no matter how many times she looked at it, she couldn't help but feel excited.

You have to be good, you have to be good, Ji Wan said silently in her heart, slowly snuggling up.

Xie Yutang subconsciously raised his hand and hugged Chi Wan.

Smelling the familiar smell on his body, Chi Wan couldn't sleep anymore.

She suddenly remembered what the Nine Princes had said to her when they left, and she didn't care about it at the time, it turned out that the Nine Princes had already seen through everything.

The king of Chu and his people may be able to share weal and bes, but they cannot share happiness.

He is a good king who can lead Dongxuan to happiness and strength, but he is by no means a good brother, and he has changed too much in order to be able to hold supreme power in his hands.

The moonlight gradually climbed up the treetops with her thoughts, and disappeared into the darkness.

The next day, Xie Yutang continued to devote himself to the work of water control. In any case, the people are innocent, and he can't delay the rescue of the people because of the discord between himself and the king of Chu.

Perhaps there has been very good progress in water control, and Xie Yutang's depressed mood due to gossip has also improved a lot.

Chi Wan once again proposed to him the matter of returning to the mountains and forests, "Now that the town water project has begun to take shape, the rest of the things can be completed step by step even without you, I think it is most beneficial for you to retreat bravely." ”

In fact, what she said was right, the big framework has been built, even without him, there will be no problem, but these words are a little harsh in Xie Yutang's ears.

"We've talked about it before." Xie Yutang didn't want to argue with her because of this matter, and deliberately avoided the topic.

Chi Wan saw the plan in his heart, and his face was disappointed, "I didn't expect you to be so obsessed with power, you have obviously seen that the King of Chu is wary of you, why do you want to take the risk to continue to stay, is your right more important than your life?" ”

She held these words in her heart for a long time, and she didn't say them last night, but today she didn't vomit or be unhappy.

Xie Yutang listened to her words, and his heart was also angry, Chi Wan was not only a wife to him, but also a confidant, and what she said just now was tantamount to stabbing him in the heart.

His hand clenched and loosened, and he took several deep breaths to calm the emotions that were surging in his heart.

Chi Wan regretted what she said just now, but now she couldn't save face when she apologized.

The room fell into an awkward silence until an adjutant hurried over to break the deathly silence.

"General, General Li is asking to see you outside."

"I'll go right away and ask him to wait outside for a while." Xie Yutang suddenly stopped when he walked to the door, "What kind of person am I, others don't know, don't you know?" It's just that now everything is in ruins, and the court is the time to employ people, so I leave at this time...... I really can't get over it on my conscience. ”

The voice of the adjutant general urging came from outside the door again, and Xie Yutang had no choice but to swallow back the rest of the words, turn around and leave in a hurry.

He was busy until the end of the month, everyone left, and Xie Yutang was still sitting alone in the study, he was a little afraid to go back to face Chi Wan, worried that the two of them would quarrel again because of the matter of retreat.

In fact, after yesterday, he also thought about it carefully. A good man has ambitions in all directions, he has the ambition to make a career for this country, let the people of Li have enough food and clothing, and build a peaceful and prosperous world.

And he also felt that retreating at the slightest danger was more like a coward's doing.

"General, we haven't had dinner yet, have we?" The lieutenant cautiously pushed open the door, holding the food box in his hand.

After Xie Yutang saw that the person who came was the deputy general, he couldn't tell whether he was relieved or disappointed.

"I'm not hungry, you can take the things." Xie Yutang rubbed his eyebrows and waved his hand tiredly, he just wanted to be alone now.

From the afternoon to the present, several of their subordinates have eaten a few pieces of snacks, but the general has not eaten a drop of water, how can he not be hungry?

The adjutant general didn't say anything to persuade him, and took out the contents of the box by himself, which was a bowl of hot shredded chicken noodles and a few side dishes.
