Chapter Twenty-Eight: The King's Heart

"Brother Zhao, long time no see!" The handsome tall man greeted Zhao Fu first, and also raised his hand and waved the folding fan in his hand.

Zhao Fu's face is black, this is just winter, although the weather has warmed up, everyone is still wearing cotton clothes, what kind of elegance does this person still hold a fan, can he still pretend to be elegant with blood-stained hands?

Lin Hanyu answered Zhao Fu's question positively, and the fancy and sassy one directly fanned himself and Lin Haoyan under the willow tree.

"What are you doing here?" Zhao Fu can imagine a hundred reasons for Lin Hanyu to appear here, it is nothing more than idleness and nothing to do, and he can't find any acquaintances in the capital, so he has to bother Zhao Fu, but Lin Haoyan is actually here?

"Waiting for you, waiting for you." Zhao Fu's words were obviously not to ask Lin Hanyu, but Lin Hanyu still rushed to answer first.

Zhao Fu looked at Lin Haoyan again, Lin Haoyan didn't give any other explanation, so Lin Haoyan was also waiting for himself?

"What's the matter?" Zhao Fu approached, snatched Lin Hanyu's folding fan first, and helped him stuff it into his clothes, and then asked Lin Haoyan.

Now the relationship between Zhao Fu and Lin Haoyan can be described as ambiguous, the two seem to be brothers, but they are monarchs and ministers, they are vigilant and trust each other, this kind of incomprehensible relationship makes Zhao Fu not want to see Lin Haoyan very much. And because of this relationship, the title between the two is also messy, so Zhao Fu fortunately ignored the title and asked directly.

"I have something to say to you." Lin Haoyan also ignored the title like Zhao Fu, just smiled softly, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please.

Although the relationship between the two is magical, Lin Haoyan is also the lord of a country, and the monarch's order must be obeyed, so Zhao Fu had to put aside the idea of taking Zheng Yuan to hang out.

Lin Hanyu and Zheng Yuan will always be rivals, and when they saw that Zheng Yuan was left aside like himself, they ran to tease him, "Do you want Xiao Yuanyuan to play somewhere?" ”

Zheng Yuan's return to Lin Hanyu is always his unsheathed knife.

Zhao Fu and Lin Haoyan are still visiting Lanshui, but this time is different from the last time, the last time the two were new acquaintances, and they are separated from each other not only by the relationship between monarchs and ministers, but also by the most basic estrangement between people. This time, the two are also monarchs and ministers, but they are friends, and although they will be suspicious of each other, they trust each other.

"Actually, I'm still afraid of you." The two walked along the riverside, and Lin Haoyan opened his mouth first, but he said "I don't really want to see you...... Maybe you're always making me feel unpredictable. ”

"......" Zhao Fu didn't answer, Lin Haoyan said this, but he still came to him, it was definitely not as simple as just saying a sentence or two. Lin Haoyan confessed to him many times the panic and fear in his heart, and Zhao Fu was not, Zhao Fu also had too many things to say in his heart, but he couldn't say it to Lin Haoyan. The identities of both of them are too special, and in the face of Lin Haoyan, Zhao Fu always feels depressed.

The two are friends, and neither wants to see each other again.

"Can I really trust you?" Lin Haoyan and Zhao Fu didn't take a few steps before stopping.

Zhao Fu clearly felt that Lin Haoyan's voice was trembling, his emotions were very chaotic, and the aura that lingered around him was also chaotic, presumably Lin Haoyan had been under a lot of pressure in the past few days on the will of Zhao Fu to step into the clouds.

"Yes." Zhao Fu replied simply, and held the scabbard in his hand and aimed the handle at Lin Haoyan.

Lin Haoyan just heard it, and didn't react to Zhao Fu's actions.

"I only have a knife with me, and you can take it away at any time if you want." Zhao Fu explained.

Lin Haoyan stretched out his hand and touched the handle of the knife, but he didn't take it away, he didn't even pull out the knife, and then he raised his head to look at Zhao Fu's eyes.

"Wow, this ice chip cake is really well done!" Lin Hanyu and Zheng Yuan found a place where they could see Zhao Fu and Lin Haoyan and sat down, but they couldn't hear what to say when they looked at the two of them, so they were naturally bored, so he quickly hit the idea on the two food boxes that Zheng Yuan was carrying. Zheng Yuan is used to not taking his eyes off Zhao Fu, but he will not feel bored, after all, this boredom has slowly become a part of his life. It's just that Zheng Yuan had no way to take Lin Hanyu at all, and he couldn't withstand Lin Hanyu's persuasion, so he had to reluctantly nod and agree to Lin Hanyu to open one of the food boxes.

Lin Haoyan was a little moved, because as a monarch, he was not suitable for such emotions as being very moved, but Zhao Fu's affirmative words and his eyes without a trace of dodging were enough to make Lin Haoyan believe. Lin Haoyan thought about whether this should be the case, so he took out a delicate dagger from his arms and handed it to Zhao Fu.

"From this day forward, you will have two knives with you, one mine and one yours."

"Your Majesty!" This time, Zhao Fu used the title of the monarch and the minister.

Lin Haoyan's meaning is very simple, Zhao Fu is willing to give him the saber, proving that Zhao Fu is willing to use his life to guarantee his loyalty, and Lin Haoyan handed over the personal dagger to Zhao Fu, which is the same reason, both of them are willing to use their lives to maintain and awaken the trust between the two.

And Zhao Fu's "Your Majesty", although it is just a title, but Lin Haoyan also knows what he means, Zhao Fu stretched out the handle of the knife to Lin Haoyan, which is a manifestation of loyalty, but Lin Haoyan did not take away Zhao Fu's knife, which is trust. It's just that Lin Haoyan handed over his personal dagger to Zhao Fu, and the meaning of this is not so simple.

Lin Haoyan is different from Zhao Fu, even if Zhao Fu does not have a saber, he is still a moon worshipper hero who can jump off the seventh floor unscathed, but Lin Haoyan is just a human emperor with an ordinary physique, and the dagger he carries with him may be his last tool for self-defense.

"It's okay, I won't use it anyway, and I don't think I have a chance to use it with you." Lin Haoyan replied to Zhao Fu like this.

Zhao Fu didn't refuse again, nodded silently, and put away the dagger with body temperature in front of Lin Haoyan. Then the two continued to stroll along the banks of the Lanshui River.

"What do you think of me?" Lin Haoyan asked.

"Not bad."

"Want to either?"

"I don't want to."

"Why?"

"We are like this, not to mention other monarchs and ministers, it is too tiring to be an emperor." Zhao Fu sighed.

"......" Lin Haoyan was silent for a moment, "I originally planned that if you beat me down the north, I would give you half of the country." ”

Zhao Fu was silent, he knew that he was very valued by Lin Haoyan, but he didn't expect it to come to this point.

"Of course, it will only be given to you, not to future generations." Lin Haoyan smiled: "I didn't expect you, but I didn't want it." ”

Zhao Fu shook his head slightly, he actually didn't understand why so many heroes and heroes were tied to death on a throne. Although he had similar thoughts before, could he really sit in that position? Zhao Fu shook his head, the extreme of humanity is not determined by one position.

"It's not that you don't, it's that if you want it, I don't want it." Zhao Fu replied very chicly. He can ask for Jiangshan, but it doesn't mean that he wants to drive Lin Haoyan down from that position. He and Lin Haoyan are not only courtiers, but also brothers and friends, it can be said that Lin Haoyan's country is his Zhao Fu's country.

"Say, what are the two of them talking about?" Lin Hanyu watched from a distance on the other side of the river, eating quail eggs in the food box.

"I don't know." Zheng Yuan didn't eat with him, but tightly guarded another food box.

"You say, will they be that?"

“?”

"I've heard my brother say he doesn't like women." Lin Hanyu explained the meaning of "that" to Zheng Yuan.

"No, it won't." Zheng Yuan is very sure.

"How do you know?"

"Because the master likes Miss Qin, and he also likes that holy woman."

"Eh, you're pretty clever!" Lin Hanyu didn't expect that the mixed-race boy who didn't talk much on weekdays and looked wooden would see it so thoroughly.

Zheng Yuan didn't continue to pay attention to him, guarding the food box while looking at the other side of the river.

"By the way, I encountered something today, and I have a lot of feelings, and I want to tell you." Zhao Fu didn't go to talk to Lin Haoyan about the country again, but turned to another topic.

"This is certainly not a trivial realization, and I will listen to you." Lin Haoyan was not dissatisfied because of Lin Haoyan's preachy tone, but made a joke.

"A lot of times, compromise doesn't get anything done." Zhao Fu remembered his conversation with Zhao Pu in the Moon Worship Tower, "Your Majesty is originally the most noble person, as long as you think it is the right thing, there is no need to compromise with anyone." ”

Lin Haoyan joked and listened to him as "I", but Zhao Fu was seriously commensurate with "Your Majesty".

Lin Haoyan nodded, I don't know if I wrote it down, but asked Zhao Fu if something happened, "It's the Zhao family?" ”

"Hmm...... They're a little annoying. Zhao Fu admitted.

"Zhao family, that's really not easy to mess with." Lin Haoyan sighed, "They won't stop until they reach the means, if you have trouble over there, no, I'll mediate in person." ”

"It's not a big trouble," Zhao Fu sniffled, "just killed someone." ”

"The Zhao family?"

"The Zhao family."

Lin Haoyan gasped, and then looked at Zhao Fu with a slightly different look, as if he was looking at a monster.

"That's why I said it's useless to compromise." Zhao Fu spread his hands, "Don't worry, this is a matter between me and the Zhao family, and it won't cause trouble to the royal family." ”

"You're amazing!" After a while, Lin Haoyan said the next sentence. Zhao Fu may not understand the power of the Zhao family, but Lin Haoyan knows it very well, and many of his decisions even depend on the face of the Zhao family......

"Like this expedition to Beihu, if you approve other people's ideas, if you get the idea of others, you won't be able to calm Beihu for another ten years and a hundred years." Zhao Fu naturally refers to those who discuss and conservative groups in the court.

Lin Haoyan nodded, "Yes, it should be like this, don't worry, this Northern Expedition, they can only agree, whatever you want, I will prepare it for you." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your love."

"It's just that this Northern Expedition is only allowed to succeed, not to fail." Lin Haoyan pointed to the faces of the two, "Otherwise, we will be laughed to death by the world." ”

"I will live up to you!"

Lin Haoyan laughed.

"It's not up to you."
