"Some people have to meet, and some things have to be solved, that's fate, just like ......"

Halfway through his words, Guan Kuo suddenly closed his mouth.

Because he had a hard time saying those names.

"Like what?" Li Xiyun crooked her head, as if she was a little curious.

"It's like Jin Youzuo and Qiu Jingshan."

"That's fate, you can't hide from it."

"I don't understand...... Li Xiyun lowered her eyes and shook her head, the green silk rippled gently, like a swaggering aquatic plant in the water.

She knew the story of Jin Youzuo and Qiu Jingshan, and she also felt sorry, but while regretting, she didn't know what Guan Kuo's intention was to compare herself to these two.

Guan Kuo looked at her picturesque eyebrows, as if he hesitated, and finally decided on something.

Some things he could say to Li Xiyun, because those things had already spread through his mouth all over Jinling on that day.

"My father is the son of the Guan family, my mother, and the daughter of the Jin family, we are a bureau against the Northern Tang Dynasty under the arrangement of Jin Youzuo and His Majesty of Southern Wu and the Second Mansion of Jin Guan, and that bureau is tragic and lonely, but the ending must be ended by me."

Li Xiyun was held by him like this, listened quietly, and did not speak.

The sunlight outside the house shone through the open door and sprinkled on her hair, as if gilded with a layer of gold.

After a long time, she looked at Guan Kuo with pity and said, "You are so pitiful. ”

"I don't think so." Guan Kuodao, his eyes were very firm.

"In that case, I'm going to meet my grandfather, whom I've never met, and ask him: What is he thinking?"

"Can't you just not go?" Li Xiyun looked at him steadily.

Guan Kuo shook his head: "No." ”

Li Xiyun seemed to be a little disappointed.

"In order to save you, my guards left more than two hundred corpses behind, and paid such a big price just to let you die again?"

Her last sentence seemed to be a bit of a question: "So, what will I do if you are all dead?" ”

Guan Kuo was silent, he couldn't make any plans for what Li Xiyun said.

He sighed.

"If it is before the night of our wedding, what does it matter to you whether I live or die?"

"People change," Li Xiyun looked at him, very serious, "We can't go back to the past, can we?" ”

"It was your father and my father who pushed me into the stagnant pool where you existed, but they're both dead, so now you're responsible for me, aren't you?"

She asked two "isn't it" in a row, and Guan Kuo didn't dare to look at her, probably because he felt that he couldn't face her questioning.

But she still had to say.

"I'm not a princess anymore, there are only more than six hundred guards who protect me, and because of saving you, more than two hundred have died, what should I do when their numbers are getting smaller and smaller to the point that they can no longer protect me, or they abandon me?"

Guan Kuo seemed to be a little worried.

"These ...... It has nothing to do with me going to Jinguan Erfu...... "He said very hard.

"In other words, you are a man who refuses to be responsible, so doesn't my responsibility to you that day to save you seem to be self-inflicted?" Li Xiyun's face was full of self-deprecation.

"I'll be responsible for you, but I have to meet my biological grandfather and my maternal grandfather, and that's something that has to be resolved."

"And then even if you solve those things alive, you still have to solve the man on the Datang Dragon Chair, right, you have enough things to solve, right?"

Li Xiyun sneered at him and said, "Compared to these, what am I?" ”

So what am I? It is almost the most tortured question of a woman, representing the absolute depression of the atmosphere and the inescapable nature of things.

"So you are actually no different from the man on the Tang Dragon chair, he only loves the country and not the beauty, what about you? In your eyes, maybe it's not just beauty, it's everything else, it's nothing! ”

Guan Kuo lowered his head and stopped talking.

Does he like Li Xiyun? He didn't know. Does he love Li Xiyun? He didn't know either.

So many things have happened between them, even if they approach cautiously, they are like two hedgehogs who need warmth, and they will always bring harm to each other.

He was only sure that he admired Li Xiyun, and that's it.

He knew very well that he only needed to say to Li Xiyun that there is nothing between us, there is no need for me to be responsible for you, Li Xiyun would smile bitterly and leave immediately silently, but he couldn't say it.

He felt Li Xiyun turn around and clench his hand.

"In that case," she said in a glutinous voice, "then take me with you, just the two of us, okay?" ”

Guan Kuo looked at her, his eyes flashing.

……

……

Jinling was in a bustle.

Restaurants, teahouses, bazaars, academies......

There's a lot of talk about the incident that happened a few days ago.

Before Guan Zhengxing's decisive battle with Wang Du, no one thought that this incident would cause a huge sensation.

Guan Kuo killed outside Jinling City, causing considerable damage to the major forces, and the two mansions of Jinguan touched the ashes of their noses, but in the end, they brushed off their clothes and left unharmed, and they have not been found until now.

"Guan Kuo, a traitorous dog thief, actually ran rampant and domineering in our Jinling land, and finally let him escape, a great humiliation for the country, a great humiliation for the country!!"

A slender scholar held a scroll high and shouted indignantly, looking like he was eager to smash it with the scroll and fight for his life.

"Yes, why hasn't our Great Wu's iron hooves crushed that guy now? This is simply a disgrace to the face of our great power! Another scholar who was also in high spirits chimed in.

Outside the academy, a few streets away from the bustling market, there is a completely different atmosphere.

"Hey, did you hear that? Guan Kuo said that Guan Qinghe is a member of the Guan family, and his mother is a member of the Jin family, which is simply a strange news. ”

"But isn't it, I think this guy is just groundless, the lost dog bites people indiscriminately, anyway, now his parents are also dead, and no one cares about him shamelessly."

"I see, not necessarily, who is Guan Qinghe? His family education must be very strict, no matter how stupid that guy's reputation is, I don't think it will reach the point of betraying his ancestors and recognizing his ancestors. ”

"That's right, don't you think that in the face of Guan Kuo, our Jinguan Second Mansion seems a little too abnormal? Even if it is because of the glory of our Great Wu, they will not always put on a look of hatred, maybe, they just think it is a great shame, so they want Guan Kuo to shut up as soon as possible. ”

"Hey, there is some truth to it, who knows what the second mansion of Jinguan thinks!"

"But I think that Guan Qinghe will definitely not disgrace them, and now Guan Kuo will not disgrace them either, what are they thinking?"

"Who knows?"

……

It is impossible for a group of outsiders to discuss anything insightful without much knowledge, it is nothing more than boredom after dinner.

In their discussions, no one knows what some of the big names are thinking.
