"Brother Jiu!"

Wei Jiuli looked at the two of them and asked, "...... are you?"

"Brother Jiu, I was just about to look for you, and you said that you would take us to the back mountains to hunt." Wei Yuan said immediately.

Bai Tang looked at him, raised his eyebrows, and asked with an inquiring eyeb.

Wei Jiuli had already heard Wei Yuan's babbling words before, and he had a headache, "When did I say it?" I just said that I can take you to hunt when I have time in the future, not now. ”

"But you later said that as long as Sister Tangtang agrees, you can promise me anything, a manly man, how can you go back on your word!" Wei Yuan pouted and was dissatisfied.

Wei Jiuli subconsciously raised his head, just opposite Bai Tang's gaze.

Then he turned his gaze away, raised his hand and touched his nose a little unnaturally, coughed to hide the embarrassment, and said, "Cough, this girl is too weird." Zuo Yu was too difficult, so he secretly kicked the ball to her.

Bai Tang obviously also heard the explanation in his words, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows again, and then said helplessly to Wei Yuan, "When did I agree." ”

Wei Yuan's mouth pursed even higher, "Then Sister Tangtang didn't object, but she acquiesced." ”

Wei Jiuli also understood, and helplessly raised his index finger and gently flicked the little girl's forehead, and said, "You are the smartest." Then he added, "Now you are still in the wilderness, everything is safe, don't think about yourself, you have to think about the Queen Mother, first collect your temperament, and settle down." ”

"Hmph, Brother Jiu hates it, backtracks, and ignores you." Wei Yuan snorted, then turned around and ran away, leaving even her dearest Sister Tangtang behind.

Wei Jiuli laughed angrily, then looked at Bai Tang and smiled, and the atmosphere seemed to be a little awkward for a while.

"By the way, how is the Queen Mother? Are you okay? Wei Jiuli found a topic to break the awkward atmosphere.

Bai Tang didn't feel anything unusual, but replied, "I've rested for the time being, it shouldn't be probable." ”

"Oh, yes, that's good."

Then there was relative silence again.

Bai Tang said, "If it's okay, I'll go back to the room first." He nodded and wanted to leave.

Wei Jiuli hesitated, but still spoke, "...... in the past few years"

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a loud click.

Wei Yuan ran back again, and then took Bai Tang's hand, "Sister Tangtang, let's go back to the room and read." As he spoke, he pulled the person away, and didn't forget to hum at her ninth brother arrogantly.

Wei Jiuli's face stiffened, and he couldn't go up or down with a word in his throat.

looked at the backs of the two leaving, just staring at the back of the little girl and grinding her teeth.

In fact, he didn't want to be so alienated from Bai Tang, but he couldn't control it.

probably responded to that sentence, and was timid.

After all, it has been eight years since they were separated, and perhaps yesterday is still close at hand for him.

But for Bai Tang, maybe it's just a new beginning, he really ...... Not sure.

Moreover, there was another reason that made him hesitate, and that was in Bai Tang's eyes...... It's so clean.

It's so clean that there's no trace of outward emotion, not even a trace of nostalgia, as if it's really just facing a stranger.

This has to make people feel lost and frustrated, but this is also expected, and there is nothing sad.

What's more, in the two years they got along, he followed her cheekily, and she never showed him any good feelings, although she didn't have a bad feeling.

Thinking of the worries when she parted, at least she didn't completely forget about him, did she?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile a little bitterly, this is really, easy to satisfy, not like himself.

As night approached, everyone rested after dinner or returned to their posts.

The Queen Mother chatted with Wei Jiuli for a while, mainly to ask about some recent events in the palace.

Wei Jiuli also picked some and said to her.

It's just that the old man has been tired for a few days, and his spirit is not very good, and when he heard that nothing big happened, he didn't ask any more questions, sent them to rest, and then rested again.

Bai Tang lit the soothing incense, then carefully exited, closed the door, and prepared to go back to the house.

It's just that when I turned around the corridor, I saw a person standing on the small terrace of the corridor on one side.

She paused, thought for a moment and walked over.

Wei Jiuli turned his head, saw her coming, smiled, and asked, "The Queen Mother is asleep?" ”

"Hmm." Bai Tang answered, and then followed his line of sight just now.

This place is a good place, it looks like a watchtower, and you can see the whole post house from here.

At this moment, the lights in the post house are bright, and in each place, there is almost a guard in five steps, which can be said to guard the entire post house like an iron bucket.

She looked up at the mountains and forests in the distance, and suddenly asked, "Is there something going on in the imperial city?" ”

Wei Jiuli was slightly surprised and asked, "Why do you ask that?" ”

"Since the Queen Mother decided to return to the palace, Her Majesty has sent several batches of guards, and now it is close to the imperial city, and you are asked to come in person, so frequent 'additional troops' seems a little unusual, and I am afraid that the Queen Mother can also see it."

Otherwise, the Queen Mother would not have asked about the Imperial City tonight, but Wei Jiuli didn't say it, which means that the matter should not be very big.

Wei Jiuli was silent for a while, and then chuckled, as if he was a little emotional, and seemed to be a little nostalgic, "You are still so alert." ”

Bai Tang sideways.

Wei Jiuli said, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that some murders happened in the imperial city some time ago, but they have been resolved, Your Majesty is just careful." ”

Bai Tang was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "How is your relationship with Your Majesty?" ”

Wei Jiuli obviously didn't expect her to ask such a question, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Bai Tang didn't wait for him to ask, but said, "Listening to you, it seems that calling Your Majesty is more comfortable than calling your father, and calling the Queen Mother is the same." ”

Wei Jiuli opened his mouth, then closed his mouth and turned his head to look into the distance, as if he didn't want to answer.

Bai Tang didn't ask again, but he didn't leave, the two just stood side by side, looking at the night.

After a while, Wei Jiuli said, "That's it, it's the only way, I can't do the rest." ”

Bai Tang tilted his head again, "Over the years, has Your Majesty been good to you?" ”

"Good." Wei Jiuli didn't have much trouble with this, but he also said, "But there are some things that can't be made up for just by making up." His voice was a little hard, but it quickly turned around.

He chuckled, "It seems that you have really changed a lot in the past eight years, and you would not have cared about this kind of thing before. ”

Bai Tang just looked at him, and then shook his head slightly, and he didn't know why, but said, "It's late at night, you can also go to rest, I'll go back to the room." With that, he turned and left.

Wei Jiuli just turned his head sideways, watching her back fade away, and the hand on the railing unconsciously clenched into a fist.

A pair of inky black eyes, flashing a little cold in the night, as if there was a trapped beast, trying to break free from the shackles, stretching its claws, opening its sharp teeth, and wanting to devour everything.

After a while, he suddenly raised his hand, covered his right eye, gritted his teeth and said, "Now is not the time for you to come out!" ”
