Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
Yan Guang stood up and arched his hand and said, "Yin nobleman! β
Yin Lihua returned the salute and said with a smile: "Mr. Yan." β
She walked up to the two of them, looked down, and found that Yan Guang's bamboo basket contained several fish, but Liu Xiu's side did not have one. The corners of her mouth subconsciously hooked upward.
Liu Xiu yawned and said quietly: "I've been on the road for the past few days, and I'm very tired. He didn't say this to Yan Guang, but to explain to Yin Lihua why he couldn't catch a fish.
When Yin Lihua heard this, she was quite ridiculous. Yan Guang will come out to fish every day, and his skills are naturally proficient, but Liu Xiu rarely has a chance to fish once a year, where can he compare with Yan Guang?
For Liu Xiu's refusal to admit defeat, she didn't break it, looking at the fish in a bamboo basket, she said: "Mr. Yan, I'll take the fish back and steam it!" β
Yan Guang said with a smile: "Ziling doesn't dare to bother the nobles to cook by themselves. β
Yin Lihua said disapprenously: "Today, Mr. Yan can also taste my craftsmanship. β
Yan Guang looked up and smiled, lifted the bamboo basket, and said, "I'll help the nobleman send the fish back." β
Seeing that Yan Guang and Yin Lihua were leaving, Liu Xiu said: "Ziling, we haven't finished the competition yet!" β
Yan Guang said: "Your Majesty, it's not too late for me to come back." β
"Humph!" Liu Xiu snorted twice, didn't say anything more, and continued to fall back on the lake.
Yan Guang and Yin Lihua walked together and walked towards the thatched house. On the way, Yin Lihua looked back at Liu Xiu, then lowered her head and said softly: "Mr. Yan, Your Majesty has done something inappropriate, I apologize to you on his behalf." β
Hearing this, Yan Guang was stunned at first, then happy, waved his hand and said, "The noble man is too worried. His Majesty and Ziling have known each other for many years and have a good relationship. β
Yin Lihua said quietly: "As for the matter of Zijun, I ...... I'm sorry......"
Yan Guang said: "Life and death have a fate, and it is beyond the control of human beings. β
Yin Lihua looked at Yan Guang curiously and asked, "Mr. Yan really doesn't blame Your Majesty at all?" β
Yan Guang smiled and said, "Ziling is not a sage, and he can't abandon the seven emotions and six desires. After a pause, he looked at Yin Lihua with deep eyes, and said meaningfully: "But Your Majesty's approach, Ziling can also understand." β
Seeing Yin Lihua's confused look, Yan Guang said: "You and I only need to be responsible for ourselves, as long as we have a clear conscience, but Ah Xiu can't." β
Speaking of this, he stopped, turned his head, and looked at Liu Xiu.
Originally, Liu Xiu straightened his waist and fished seriously, but as Yan Guang and Yin Lihua walked away, his waist gradually bent down, and his head gradually lowered, where was he fishing, but sat there and napped.
"Ah Xiu is the Son of Heaven, and since he is the Son of Heaven, he must be responsible for everyone in the world." Yan Guang sighed softly and said, "The responsibility on his shoulders is much greater than ours, and he is also much more tired than us. β
Yan Guang's words made Yin Lihua feel a lot, and no one had ever said these words to her before, including Liu Xiu herself.
She looked back at Liu Xiu, looking at Liu Xiu who was curled up on the shore and napping, and a sour feeling suddenly welled up in her heart.
Liu Xiu is not a god, he is just a mortal, but the responsibilities he bears and the pressure he bears are completely unimaginable to others. Yan Guang took a deep breath and sighed: "The pride of heaven seems to be high, self-respecting, and has the greatest power in the world, but in fact, the son of heaven is not as free as ordinary people, at least, ordinary people still have choices in many cases, but."
to do something as he wants, but the Son of Heaven has no choice, and there is often only one way in front of him. β
Yin Lihua muttered, "Before, I had never considered this. β
Yan Guang smiled indifferently and said, "So, I will blame Your Majesty, but I will never resent Your Majesty." "Kill Deng Feng and Deng Zhong, what Liu Xiu wants is a too peaceful and stable Nanyang, if Deng Feng and Deng Zhong don't die, Nanyang may not recover so quickly, I don't know how many people will not give up and plot in secret, ready to make a comeback next time
Stage a comeback.
The two talked all the way back to the thatched hut.
Long Yuan stepped forward quickly, took the bamboo basket in Yan Guang's hand, looked down inside, a rare smile appeared on his cold face, and said, "What a big fish!" These are all caught by His Majesty? β
Yin Lihua rolled her eyes and said, "Your Majesty, I haven't caught a single fish now, and I'm almost asleep sitting on the shore." β
When Long Yuan heard this, his old face turned red, and he carried the bamboo basket and said, "Go down and clean up the fish." β
Sending Yin Lihua to the place, Yan Guang carried the empty basket and returned to the shore of the lake.
Looking at Liu Xiu, who was already snoring softly, Yan Guang quietly sat down beside him. He sat cross-legged in silence, did not fish again, and looked at the sparkling lake. I don't know how long it took, Liu Xiu's body tilted to the side, almost fell to the ground, he suddenly woke up, first picked up the fishing rod that fell aside, and then looked at Yan Guang beside him, and said, "Ziling, you're back!" I just slept a lot
Long? β
Yan Guang smiled at him and said, "It's almost an hour." β
Liu Xiu blinked in disbelief and said, "I've slept for so long. β
"Your Majesty is so tired." Yan Guang looked at him and said helplessly.
Let Liu Xiu make a special trip from Luoyang to Xinye, Yan Guang was really a little unhappy, but his intention not to enter the court as an official will not be shaken by this.
Liu Xiu picked out the hook from the lake, took a closer look, the bait on the hook no longer knew where it went, he looked left and right at his left and right, it was empty, he smiled bitterly: "I still can't win Ziling!" β
Yan Guang smiled, stood up, and at the same time stretched out his hand to Liu Xiu, and said, "Your Majesty, we should also go back to eat, this meal, but the Yin nobleman personally cooked." β
Liu Xiu's eyes lit up, she held Yan Guang's hand, got up, and said with a smile: "I haven't tasted Lihua's craftsmanship for a long time, but if I can taste it this time, I still stick to Ziling's light." β
Yan Guang said casually: "Your Majesty is a man, and the Yin nobles are women, Your Majesty should also accommodate the Yin nobles more." β
Liu Xiu said helplessly: "I have been accommodating enough for Lihua. "The one who can beat him to the point that his nostrils are bleeding, except for Yin Lihua, where is there a second person in this world?
Yan Guang didn't say anything more, packed up his fishing gear, and returned to the thatched house with Liu Xiu.
At this time, Yin Lihua also made almost all the meals, because Yan Guang didn't have many condiments at home, Yin Lihua only steamed the fish. Liu Xiu took the lead in tasting it, there was no trace of earthy smell, only the delicacy and deliciousness of the fish.
He said to Yin Lihua: "My husband doesn't know that Lihua has such a good craft!" As he spoke, he beckoned Yan Guang again: "Ziling, you can also taste the fish made by Lihua." β
Yin Lihua glanced at Liu Xiu and said, "Mr. Yan is the master, we are guests, where does Mr. Yan need His Majesty to be humble." β
Liu Xiu laughed embarrassedly twice, Yan Guang picked up chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish, put it in his mouth, chewed it twice, his eyes lit up, and praised: "It's delicious!" β
"It's all strange that Ziling catches too few fish, otherwise, Zhiwen and Long Yuan will also have good mouths."
Yan Guang said: "Your Majesty, but you haven't caught a single fish, how can you still complain that the drafters have caught too few fish!" β
Liu Xiu looked up and smiled, and said, "If you want to blame, blame you for the fish in the pond who are too deceitful!" β
Yan Guang laughed.
At this meal, everyone ate very happily. Before I knew it, it was getting dark. Liu Xiu picked up the wine glass, raised it to Yan Guang's side, and then toasted with Yan Guang.
He turned his head to look out the window and said, "It's not early, Ziling, I have to go." β
Yan Guang didn't hold back, nodded, and said, "Tomorrow, the grass people will also travel." β
Liu Xiu was stunned, and subconsciously asked, "Where is Ziling going?" β
Yan Guang said: "Hanzhong." β
Liu Xiu first sighed, and then, he restrained his smile and said, "Ziling, you and I should go back to Luoyang!" After a pause, he said again: "Zhonghua and Ayu are all in Luoyang, the four of us, and now we will send you one." β
Yan Guang owed to Liu Xiu and said, "Your Majesty knows that the life that the grass people want to live is not in Luoyang. β
"Ziling ......"
"Your Majesty doesn't need to say it anymore, the grass people's minds will not change."
Liu Xiu looked sad, lowered his head, and said, "Say goodbye today, wait for the next meeting, I don't know when I will wait." β
Yan Guang said: "The grass people live in Xinye, which is not too far from Luoyang, and if there is a chance, the grass people will definitely go to Luoyang to visit Your Majesty, Zhonghua and Zhongxian." β
Liu Xiu stood up, and Yan Guang also stood up. He walked up to Yan Guang, held Yan Guang's hand, and said, "You are alone, living in this barren mountain and wilderness, how can I put my mind at ease?" β
Yan Guang smiled, raised his hand and pointed around, and said: "Isn't the grass people living well, Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about the grass people, the grass people are very content with the days like idle clouds and wild cranes now, and they also enjoy it." β
Seeing Yan Guang's resolute attitude, Liu Xiu couldn't force it again and again, he suddenly thought of something and beckoned to Long Yuan outside. Long Yuan understood, walked in with a small box, and put it on the table.
Liu Xiu said: "Ziling, you can keep this money and use it as a sidekick." β
Yan Guang was about to refuse, but Liu Xiu preemptively said: "Ziling doesn't want to go back to Beijing with me, and I don't want to enter the court as an official, I can't force Ziling, but Ziling must stay with this money." Gotta stay! His tone was resolute and unforgiving.
Seeing Liu Xiu's appearance, Yan Guang couldn't shirk it again, he nodded and said, "Your Majesty, the grass people just accepted it." β
Liu Xiu said: "If you like anything, you can buy it back, and you don't have to worry about spending all the money." If you live alone, you will inevitably be lonely, so you can hire a few more servants to take care of your daily life and relieve your boredom......"
Listening to Liu Xiu's chatter, Yan Guang's eyes were hot, and he held Liu Xiu's hand instead, and said, "Ah Xiu, don't always worry about others, you ...... Take care of yourself too. β
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Yin Lihua, bowed his hand, and said, "Yin noble, Ah Xiu will please you." "Be nice to Ah Xiu, it's not easy for him.
Yin Lihua saluted Yan Guangfu and said, "Lihua, thank you Mr. Yan. She didn't talk to Yan Guang much, but Yan Guang's enlightenment to her benefited her a lot, and it also made her gloomy mood a lot brighter for days.
Yan Guang sent Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua out. Out of the courtyard gate, the three of them walked in front, and the rest of the people followed.
After walking for a while, Yan Guang stopped and said, "Send you a thousand miles, you must say goodbye in the end, Your Majesty, Yin nobles, and grass people will be sent here." β
"Ziling ......"
"Tomorrow morning, I will set off, and Your Majesty does not have to come to me again."
"I ...... I know. Liu Xiu sighed and nodded.
"Say goodbye to the grass people." Yan Guang gave a deep salute.
Liu Xiu returned the salute.
Yan Guang didn't stop any longer, turned and left. Looking at his back as he gradually moved away, Liu Xiu couldn't help but shout loudly: "Yan Zilingβ"
After a while, I heard a voice floating in the distance: "Uncle Liu Wen-" Liu Xiu sniffed, held Yin Lihua's hand, and got into the carriage with her.
