……

"Miss Jiang, please tell me which direction my room is, and you can go ...... yourself" Entering the backyard of the Governor's Palace, Liu Ce, who had been silent, said to the beautiful back in front of him.

When Jiang Ruoyan heard this, he stopped and turned around and said strangely: "Aren't you hungry?" ”

Liu Ce shook his head: "I'm not hungry now, tell me where the room is, I'm tired after a hard day, and now I just want to rest for a while......"

Jiang Ruoyan's beautiful eyes shrunk: "Let's let Ruoyan take you there......"

Liu Ce said: "Miss Jiang stay, go and look for it yourself, it's not early, you better go back to the room to rest early......

Jiang Ruoyan's heart sank suddenly: "Liu Ce, are you still angry with me about yesterday's events, in fact, things are not as ...... as you think"

"Miss Jiang is worried about it......" Liu Ce shook his head lightly, "This is your private matter, no matter what, where will I be angry with you next?" You don't have to explain ...... to me."

Hearing Liu Ce say this, Jiang Ruoyan stood stunned on the spot: "Are you really unwilling to listen to my explanation?" Things really aren't what you think they are......"

Liu Ce stopped her and continued: "Miss Jiang, I'm tired, I don't want to say anything now, you go back to the room to rest early, I'll go find the guest room by myself, and ......say goodbye."

After speaking, Liu Ce staggered past her and walked towards the wing, leaving a sluggish Jiang Ruoyan.

"Liu Ce! Why don't you believe Ruoyan? Don't listen to me explain ......"

Jiang Ruoyan's trembling voice echoed in the long pavilion and reached Liu Ce's ears, but Liu Ce didn't seem to hear it, and his footsteps did not stop at all.

"Alas......" Liu Ce sighed softly when he walked into his room, "Of course I believe you, otherwise what would I do in the mansion?" ”

Just as Liu Ce was about to close the door, a royal guard suddenly came into view.

"Captain Liu, my concubine invites you to go to the pavilion for a while."

"Got it, please turn the angel back, and I'll be there later." After that, without waiting for the guard to reply, Liu Ce closed the door......

"Yan'er, don't cry, I don't know how to cry for my mother......

In the room of Jiang Xun and his wife, Mrs. Shi looked at Jiang Ruoyan who was like a pear blossom with tears, and her heart was extremely uncomfortable.

Jiang Ruoyan snuggled in her mother's arms and didn't listen to the sobs, recalling Liu Ce's previous look of ignoring her, her heart was like a knife.

Mrs. Shi patted her daughter on the back and sighed: "Yan'er, you and Liu Ce have known each other for less than a year last year, why do you fall so fond of him, I really don't understand that you would be so affectionate for a man......"

Jiang Ruoyan choked up and said: "Mother, I'm sorry for him, Liu Ce and I have known each other more than ten years ago, do you remember Ruoyan when she was eight years old and went out in the countryside with you?"

It was he who saved Ruoyan and promised me my promise to expel Hu Nu, and he has not forgotten it to this day, but what about me? What about me, mother......"

Mrs. Shi was shocked when she heard this, and her mind suddenly flashed to the cowardly young man who was beaten back then......

"What do you say? Yan'er, Liu Ce was the young man from Nian'an Temple back then! ”

"Mother, you teach Ruoyan, what should I do now?"

"Yan'er, don't cry first, listen to what Weiniang said,......" Mrs. Shi helped Jiang Ruoyan in her arms up and said, "Yan'er, think about it carefully, according to what you said, you waited for Liu Ce to come back at the gate of the Governor's Mansion, but you were harassed by Li Suwen, right?" ”

Jiang Ruoyan nodded: "Yes, that bastard is not dead, Ruoyan really regrets that he forgot Liu Ce in the first place, he really hates himself......"

Mrs. Shi shook her head: "Let's not talk about it so much, who will help you when you were entangled by Li Suwen?" Isn't it Liu Ce? ”

Jiang Ruoyan was stunned, stopped sobbing, and carefully recalled the previous scene. Liu Ce appeared at the right time, now think about it, it was obvious that he called himself away at that time to relieve himself, but why did he have that attitude towards himself later......

Mrs. Shi grabbed Jiang Ruoyan's hand and comforted, "How is it, now you have figured it out, right?" ”

Jiang Ruoyan nodded, and said, "But mother, I ...... yesterday."

Mrs. Shi said: "Yan'er, you clean up, and go with you for your mother to make it clear to him, I believe that Liu Ce is by no means the kind of indiscriminate child." ”

……

Mrs. Shi accompanied Jiang Ruoyan to Liu Ce's resting room, and just halfway through, she saw Liu Ce walking into the long pavilion and walking towards the pavilion under the leadership of the royal guards, and he had changed into black civilian clothes, no longer the arrogant and prosperous military uniform he saw during the day.

"Liu ......"

When Jiang Ruoyan saw Liu Ce, she couldn't help but want to stop him, but was stopped by Mrs. Shi.

"Yan'er, it seems that Liu Ce is going to see Li Suwen, it's inconvenient to disturb now, let's follow and see what they can talk about......

Jiang Ruoyan nodded, and quietly followed behind them with her mother.

In the pavilion on the second floor, the stone table was already full of all kinds of delicacies, and Li Suwen stood with his hands behind his back, waiting for Liu Ce to arrive.

"Qi Yu donkey, Liu Ce has been brought outside the pavilion."

"Please ......"

"Yes!"

After a while, footsteps sounded on the escalator of the pavilion, and when the sound was near, Li Suwen immediately turned to meet Liu Ce's deep eyes.

Li Suwen chuckled and said: "Captain Liu, I haven't seen you for more than a year, it's rare to get together today, prepare a thin wine for my brother and catch up with you, come, please take a seat." ”

Liu Ce glanced at the banquet on the table, and his face was as quiet as a mountain, making people unable to see any emotion.

"Since the angel intends to invite you, but you are disrespectful, please ......"

After saying that, the two of them sat down at the same time, and the guard next to them immediately filled the wine glasses in front of the two tables.

Li Suwen drank a glass of wine, but the wine glass in front of Liu Ce's table did not move.

"Brother Liu Xian, why don't you drink a glass, or do you say that this wine is not in your mouth?"

"I'm sorry, Lord Angel, I'm too strong to drink, once I'm drunk, I'm afraid I can't restrain myself from making jokes, I hope you'll forgive me."

"Hehe, I don't want Brother Liu Xian to stick to his duty so much, it's good, since that's the case, it's okay not to drink this wine."

After speaking, Li Suwen also put down the wine glass in his hand and ordered someone to remove the wine in exchange for a pot of tea.

Liu Ce said calmly: "Lord Angel, you asked me to come here to meet, it's not just as simple as catching up with the past, right?" If you have something to say, you might as well say it bluntly. ”

Li Suwen said: "Brother Liu Xian is still so fast, good! Since Brother Liu Xiandi wants the position of former military governor, Brother Wei can meet your wish, on the fifth day of the first month, the position of military governor must be Brother Liu Xian. ”

Liu Ce's face did not change when he heard this, and he said lightly: "In this way, thank you Lord Angel for your kindness, if there is nothing else, I will retire first." ”

"Wait!" Seeing that Liu Ce was leaving, Li Suwen said, "Brother Liu Xian will stay for the time being, there is another thing for my brother I want to ask Brother Xian for help." ”

Liu Ce said, "What does Lord Angel need to do here?" ”

Li Suwen's eyes flashed with a hint of tenderness, and he said to Liu Ce: "It's about the matter between me and Ruoyan......

Liu Ce's eyes were slightly jawed: "Lord Angel, this is your private matter, I have no right to ask, what can I help you?" ”

Li Suwen ignored him and continued: "When Ruoyan and I first met, she was only ten years old, and at that time she was still an innocent child who didn't understand anything.

When Ruoyan was eleven years old, I took her out to enjoy the lanterns together, I remember that I held her hand and walked through the streets and alleys of Suzhou to play all night, and the girl was as happy as a bird out of the cage......

When I was fourteen years old, or Qixi Festival, in the peach forest in the suburbs of Sujiao, Ruoyan personally handed over his personal jade pendant to me, do you know what it means? What does it mean for a girl to put her personal belongings in the hands of a man, and from that moment on, I decided that she was the only woman in my life who was worthy of protecting with my life......"

Jiang Ruoyan, who was on the first floor of the pavilion, heard what Li Suwen said, and his mood was extremely complicated. Fortunately, Mrs. Shi gently patted her palm beside her and calmed her emotions.

Li Suwen took out the piece of Jieyu from his arms and put it on his nose and sniffed it, and then said: "After that, I have to run around for the revitalization of the Li family, and in order to realize the long-cherished wish in Ruoyan's heart, I will not hesitate to fight in all directions.

Now that I have entered the royal family, the revitalization of the family is just around the corner, but I feel guilty about Ruoyan, this time I want to bring Ruoyan back to the divine capital, away from this dangerous place, and always be by my side to relieve the pain of lovesickness.

But now Ruoyan misunderstands me a lot, and I know that you and her are close friends of a gentleman, and I hope that Brother Xian will help me persuade Ruoyan to let her go back to Shendu with me, I don't know if I can help Brother Yu? ”

When Jiang Ruoyan heard this, she was terrified, Li Suwen really didn't give up and wanted to take her away, if she really came strongly, she couldn't be sure if her father would keep her, and she couldn't help but hold her mother's hand tightly.

Mrs. Shi frowned slightly, patted Jiang Ruoyan's jade shoulder, and signaled her not to be nervous, now she was very much looking forward to how Liu Ce would reply.

After listening to Li Suwen's words, Liu Ce picked up the tea bowl on the table without changing his face, gently lifted the lid of the bowl and slid the edge of the bowl a few times, then slowly put it down and closed his eyes.

Li Suwen has been observing the changing expression on Liu Ce's face, but unfortunately, Liu Ce's face has not fluctuated even the slightest.

Liu Ce said for a long time: "Lord Angel, are you finished? ”

Li Suwen nodded: "I also hope that Brother Liu Xian will persuade Ruoyan for the foolish brother, and I am grateful, a foolish brother of the military governor is willing to guarantee with the head of the item, and he must belong to the virtuous brother!" ”

He believed that Liu Ce would definitely agree to this request, because judging from his performance during the day, there was an urgent need for this military position.

"In other words, you're trading with me with Miss Jiang?"

Liu Ce said such a sentence coldly, which made Li Suwen feel a little surprised.

Ignoring Li Suwen's strange expression, Liu Ce said slowly: "Lord Angel, with all due respect, the past experience between you and Miss Jiang is not interested in me at all, just to thank you for what you said and is willing to hand over the post of former military governor to me, which can save a lot of trouble, I reluctantly listened to you finish speaking,

But now that you have said it, you can be restored in the future, I will not help you persuade Miss Jiang, let alone use Miss Jiang's fate to make that dirty deal for your future! ”

"Liu Ce......"

Jiang Ruoyan, who heard Liu Ce's reply downstairs, suddenly covered her mouth and snorted softly, and her heart was extremely moved.

Mrs. Shi was also infected by Liu Ce's words, and couldn't stop nodding, this kid is really unusual.

"Brother Liu Xian, ...... you" Li Suwen was stunned, he never thought that Liu Ce would say such a thing, "You have thought about it clearly, this former military governor ......"

"Lord Angel......" Liu Ce sat on the stone bench, his hands were still around his chest, and he closed his eyes and said, "Since you have told you about your past cases with Zaixia, then I will also tell you about my experience, I have grown up and been reckless since I was a child, and I made a living in the temple, and at the age of twelve, I began to wander the rivers and lakes, tasted the warmth and coldness of the world, and was bullied by the wealthy.

At the age of fourteen, he drifted to the source of the river, coinciding with the thieves making trouble, and only joined the local army to start his military career in desperation, and at the age of seventeen, he was favored by the imperial court to join the Thunder Army in bloody battles just to survive, and at the age of eighteen, he founded the Jingwei Battalion and has fought countless bloody battles so far, and everything he has is piled up with the blood of the corpse mountain.

Does the angel think that Liu is the kind of fly who uses the fate of others as a bargaining chip in exchange for benefits and power? ”

"You ......" Li Suwen was speechless for a while, not knowing how to answer.

Liu Ce continued: "I have been doing everything from Heyuan to the Far East since I have done it to my conscience.

Miss Jiang doesn't care about the humble status of the Xia Shu clan, and is willing to make friends with Liu as a gentleman, if she is forced to do what she is not willing to do, it will violate her duty to know herself, and it will also go against the principles that she abides by. ”

A cold light flashed in Li Suwen's eyes: "In this case, you don't want to succeed in this position of military governor, Liu Ce, don't think that if you don't help me, I won't be able to take Ruoyan away!" ”

A sneer appeared at the corner of Liu Ce's mouth when he heard this: "Lord Angel, this military governor, Liu is bound to win, and if I know that someone dares to force Miss Jiang to do something that I don't want to do, I am likely to do something that adults don't expect." ”

Hearing this, Li Suwen slowly got up and stared at Liu Ce coldly: "Liu Ce, you can't stop it, if you look at it, I will definitely take it away, and when her birthday banquet is over, I will announce in public that she will become my wife and bring her back to the Shendu, how can you stop it......

Liu Ce pressed his hands on the table, slowly got up and opened his tiger eyes, and said in front of Li Suwen's cold eyes: "Then I'll send a word to Lord Angel......

The atmosphere above and below the pavilion suddenly became extremely quiet, and only the sound of the breeze rustling through the lawn was silent.

Jiang Ruoyan and Mrs. Shi clasped their hands, their palms were covered with fine sweat, and they nervously waited for Liu Ce's reply.

"Liu Ce is based on this, you, who do you want to take away?!"
