Li Yan took the secret letter in Lin Ruo's hand, squinted his eyes, and smiled slightly: "Your count is really amazing!" How can we calculate the grain consumption of the country so accurately? ”

Lin Ruo's eyes crooked with a smile: "I have to have a little trick to be slightly better than Brother Li, right?" This erudition, strong knowledge, quoting scriptures, I really can't compare with you; As for the strategy and the overall vision, I can barely catch up. After calculating it, only the art of counting can barely impress Brother Li and ask for a few compliments. Don't use that sour tone! ”

"Where? I really admire you! Li Yan's tone was a little more helpless, but there was doting love for Lin Ruo's sister in his eyes, "Besides, which of the erudition and knowledge, knowledge of the past and the present, and strategizing are you listed that are inferior to me?" Don't forget, you still have a refreshing 'crooked interpretation', if you admit the second, who dares to admit the first? ”

Lin Ruo was so happy that her mouth was about to reach the root of her ears, but she still retreated modestly, with a happy expression, obviously wanting Li Yan to praise her a few more words. How could Li Yan not know?

This girl rarely showed a look that matched her age, Li Yan naturally didn't brush her mind, and praised her sincerely: "And your painting skills, unique, especially the maps from your hands, even Meng Jiugong couldn't help but be amazed." It can be seen that in addition to counting, there are not a few places where you are better than me. ”

Lin Ruo smiled contentedly, if you compliment, half-truths and half-truths are the most pleasing to people. It's just that when she talked about Yutu, she mentioned Meng Jiugong, which made her think of Murong Chong who was far away in the north, and she couldn't help but worry again.

"Although the opportunity is good, it is not perfect."

With a long sigh, Lin Ruo's expression couldn't hide the worry in his face.

Li Yan knew that the so-called "never perfect" was because of Murong Chong's injury.

The wound of the three-edged arrow was not so easy to heal, and coupled with Su Muyu's good advocacy, the wound that had improved after resting fell short again.

The dignified commander of the three armies, sitting in the tent to strategize and control the overall situation, is not unreasonable, but Murong Chong has always been the first soldier on the battlefield, and his abnormal behavior will definitely make people wonder.

"The prince has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and there must be a plan for both worlds, so you don't have to worry too much."

Lin Ruo tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "I know." But it's one thing to know, it's another to worry. ”

Li Yan looked at Lin Ruo meaningfully: "You and the prince ......"

When they got married, it was a contract, Beiqi saw that they were concerned about each other, and now they see that Lin Ruo is worried every day, although Li Yan did not intend to interfere with Lin Ruo and Murong Chong's previous relationship, he also did not want Lin Ruo to be wronged.

"He said, let it be," Lin Ruo's mouth had a shallow smile, but he was a little helpless, "just let it be." ”

"The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear. He's different to you, I can see it. ”

"I know," Lin Ruo nodded, let out a long breath, and was silent for a long time before he spoke, "I know I like him, and he should like me too." But Brother Li, you know my details. I let go of the past, and now when I see Song Huan Chu's face, there are no longer so big waves. It's just that I don't know what that curved rhyme in the prince's heart means to him. What I want is to exchange my wholeheartedness for his wholeheartedness. He can't do it, and I can't find it. I still have to worry about the Lin family, my little bit of detail, and the cause of my sister's death......"

"You're really ...... It's really taking everything on yourself. Li Yan shook his head helplessly, "That's it, you are a person with ideas, just remember that no matter what you do, there will always be my brother to support you." Regardless of power, whether it is to win by wit or by force, as long as he dares to let you be wronged, I will help you get justice. ”

Lin Ruo smiled: "With Brother Li's words, I really feel full of confidence." Not only you, but also the elm pimple, he will help me get justice. ”

Li Yan was also happy, if there was such a day, Su Muyu would definitely rush ahead like him.

Speaking of Su Muyu, Li Yan said again: "I thought you would be angry about his unauthorized actions and breaking into the palace at night." ”

After a pause, he added: "He himself is also uneasy, for fear that you will cut off your robe with him." ”

Being scolded, beaten, or cold for a few days, Su Muyu is not afraid, he is soft, properly agreed, and then cheeky and stalked, even if this page is revealed. Only cutting off the robe and breaking the righteousness is what he fears the most.

"He is also for me," Lin Ruo was also a little helpless, "Speaking of which, I should thank him, at a critical moment, without saying a word, I went to Beiqi to save the prince." Visiting Prince Gong's Mansion at night, although he acted on his own, it was also out of consideration for me that he went to explore the bottom of Brother Mengjiu. ”

Li Yan nodded in agreement: "Meng Jiu would actually use Tang Xiao to deal with the prince, which is also unexpected by me. ”

It is unexpected, but it is actually reasonable.

Meng Jiu's thoughts about Lin Ruo, as long as he is not blind, can see it.

Feelings are the most difficult thing to say.

Love begets jealousy, and love begets hate, and there are countless examples of this.

Meng Jiu had the mentality of luck, and it was also because he was still afraid of Lin Ruo that he had a chance to turn around.

"This incident also started because of me. Over the years, things have gone a little better, and nothing has really deviated from my expectations, so much so that I have neglected the most important rules I have set for myself. ”

The enemy is also a resource. But the less of this resource, the better.

Because the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

When all the enemies unite against her, she may not really have the ability and certainty to retreat.

She never really regarded Meng Bin as her own person, but she never regarded him as an enemy either.

However, Meng Jiugong regarded her as an opponent and a potential enemy. Similarly, in Meng Jiugong's eyes, Murong Chong was also an enemy, an enemy who would become a great trouble for Ze Guo after his death.

Therefore, when Lin Ruo and Murong Chong got married, in Meng Jiugong's heart, the danger index of the two increased exponentially. It is not surprising that he secretly protected Tang Xiao and used him to borrow a knife to kill people.

"And what are you going to do?"

"Brother Jiu doesn't want to be hostile to me, and Meng Jiugong may not want to tear his face now, but he has to be careful."

Li Yan nodded: "It's really time to take precautions." The business with the Meng family is mostly handled by the Wang family and the Ji family, Junyang is far away in Daiguo, but Zhong Tan is in Beijing. The last time he talked about nautical charts and sea ships, he still couldn't get enough of it, why don't you take this opportunity to talk to him again? ”

Zhong Tan is Wang Kuang, the second son of the Wang family.

Lin Ruo nodded: "I also have this intention." ”

The two were about to send someone to invite Wang Kuang, but unexpectedly, the housekeeper Zhong Ping came looking for them.

"Uncle Ping, what's wrong?"

"Young Miss, Young Master Li," Zhong Ping saluted the two, took a breath, handed over a gilded greeting post, and said, "Bai Que Bai Gongzi, here again." ”
