Chapter 243: What Would You Choose If You Wanted?

Things are moving faster than they expected. In the afternoon of the same day, they received a secret letter from the northern frontier.

As stated in the letter, the holy decree of the removal of General Xiahou Rui Zhenbei has arrived in northern Xinjiang. At the same time, there is also a holy oracle ordered by the emperor. Of course, they don't know what the oracle says.

But after reading what was said in the letter, a trace of happiness flashed on Xia Hourui's face. abolished the position of the general and escorted the three divisions of Jinyang to be interrogated. Although this is basically, has already sealed his fate. But all of this is for him alone.

The decree did not hold anyone but him accountable. Even his family was pardoned. He knew that this was already the emperor's leniency.

He breathed a sigh of relief, but Yan Liang next to him frowned. Although he had already expected the result, when it really came, it still made his heart hurt and couldn't help it.

"I'm going to the north immediately."

He had been in a stalemate with this Yan Liang for an afternoon. But the other party said that he didn't agree to leave anything. And the emotional offensive has also begun to change from a trickle to a river.

And no matter what he says, even if he speaks ill of each other, the other party is still unmoved. Still doing my own thing, doing everything. And Xia Hourui was a little scared.

What if this person really doesn't care about it and throws all his heart into himself? If in the end, because of himself, he made an overly drastic decision. That......

Thinking of this, Xia Hourui's expression stiffened a little. He couldn't imagine the consequences. At this time, he had to admit that he was tempted by the person in front of him.

"Don't waste any more lips. It should be clear to you that this is impossible. ”

Yan Liang said in a calm tone. He didn't care at all about the tone of the person in front of him. He knows the other party's mind very well. But he had already made a decision, how could he be moved.

"You ......"

Xiahou Rui was angry, but he couldn't help it at all.

But neither of them expected that the army that came to fetch people from the north of the northern frontier would come straight to their location the next day.

When he heard Qi Wei's announcement, Yan Liang's brows furrowed tightly. He didn't understand why these people came so quickly.

"How the news leaked out."

"Back to the prince, I have carefully investigated, and there is nothing missing. So under the hands, there is an unconfirmed speculation. This news may have been passed on by the person who came with General Xiahou. ”

Because it was speculation, Qi Wei used the word maybe.

"Bring people here."

Yan Liang secretly thought that if the news was really leaked by that person. Such a perverse person, he doesn't mind dealing with it directly.

In a few moments, people were brought in.

When Scout No. 3 saw the person opposite, his face was calm, and there was no surprise in the slightest. And directly to the courtesy.

"I've seen King Pingnan."

Seeing that the other party directly revealed his identity, Yan Liang frowned.

"Who are you? The news that Xia Hourui is here, but it came out of you? ”

"The news that Xiahou Rui, the general of Zhenbei, is here is indeed transmitted to Jinyang by me. As for the identity, for others, they may not know it. But you, you should understand. ”

Scout No. 3 didn't mind being known to Yan Liang.

King Pingnan is a special existence for the Long family. For the Hidden Dragon Guard, although it can't be said to know very well, it is definitely a deep understanding.

Hearing him say this, Yan Liang's heart moved. Sure enough, the other party's following words verified his guess.

"I am the Hidden Dragon Guard in the Northern Frontier Army."

Scout Three said only that, and then said no more.

And after Yan Liang listened, even if he didn't say it, he understood what he meant. I also understand why the other party did that.

Because no matter what the friendship between him and Xiahou Rui is, he can't change his duties. Everything has to be done under the task of completion.

Although he wanted to kill the person in front of him, he knew he couldn't. Because of willfulness, there must also be a degree.

"Alright, stand down."

Instead of looking upset, it's better to let people out, and nothing can be done anyway.

"Yes."

But after he took two steps, he said in a deep voice.

"Lord Wang, although the matter of General Zhenbei this time is serious, it can be seen that for the sake of his past merits, he will not really do anything to him. But......

The subordinates have said more. ”

The words fell, and he left without looking back. Through the observation of the past few days, he knows exactly what the state of those two people is. He also reported the matter, but he did it for personal gain and did not say it in such detail.

It is only said that King Pingnan has a trace of affection for the general of Zhenbei. Xiahou Rui is a good general, and he doesn't want this person to become a victim of this matter.

Yes, if the matter between the two is confirmed by the emperor. That Xiahou Rui can only become that victim.

Generals are rare, but they are not impossible to cultivate. The Yan family of Pingnan Wang, the king of Longteng will never abandon it.

Looking at the Hidden Dragon Guard who left, Yan Liang was silent for a long time. He knows better than anyone the seriousness of the matter. I thought it was a big deal, so I jumped into the abyss together. But now, it seems, things are not as he thinks.

If Xiahou Rui does not intervene without him, he still has a chance to return to his previous calm. Is it really right for him to be so careless and pull people into the abyss together?

Yan Liang asked himself in his heart, but there was no answer. If the other party also loves him, then he will not hesitate to pull the other party with him to live and die together.

But the current love is only one-sided. In this way, is his approach really fair to Xiahou Rui?

For a long time, Yan Liang was never able to make a decision in his heart.

"Since it's about you and me, then I'll let you answer it yourself."

He muttered to himself, but his tone was filled with deep helplessness.

At this time, Xia Hourui was still lying on the bed angrily. Didn't even eat dinner.

The door creaked open. Xia Hourui, who heard the sound, didn't even raise his eyelids. Even if you don't have to look at it, you know who's coming in.

"Still angry? You should know that I didn't mean to deliberately hold you and not let you go. It's a long way from Jinyang, and your body is like this. How can I rest assured that I will hand you over to those reckless men.

I will personally send you to Jinyang, and you will definitely not miss the time. Why do you have to go with them! ”

In the face of people's stubborn temperament, Yan Liang was also very helpless.

"I'm a guilty person, not a play. It is normal to be escorted to Jinyang. What's the matter with you sending me? ”

For his excuse, Xia Hourui completely ignored it, and even felt that it was very absurd.

"You, why are you so serious! What the hell should I do? ”

Spoiled, with a hint of loneliness. However, because it was covered up too well, Xia Hourui did not notice it.

"I'm just going to follow the formal process, do you think what you're talking about is the formal process?"

Looking at the other party's appearance, Xia Hourui wanted to be angry, but he couldn't get angry. In the end, all that remained on his face was an expression of crying and laughing.

"Rui. If you were with me, you would lose everything, even your own life; And leave me, and you will get all you want; How would you choose between the two? ”

Yan Liang changed his words and asked a question.

These words were preceded by ifs, and Yan Liang's tone of questioning was not very solemn. It's like a casual question that comes to mind.

Xiahou Rui was stunned by his question. If it was a few days ago, he would not hesitate to give a second option. It doesn't matter if the other person is serious or just joking.

But now when the words come to his mouth, he can't spit them out of his mouth. He opened his mouth, made no sound, and was finally silent.

His appearance made Yan Liang very happy. Not because of the other party's hesitation, but because of the seriousness of the person on the issue. This shows that the other party takes his feelings seriously. This attitude alone made him feel that this relationship was not in vain.

"If it were you, what would you choose?"

Xiahou Rui, who was silent for a long time, did not give a direct answer, but asked the other party a rhetorical question. His voice was soft, but subdued.

"I would choose the first one. can hold you, even if you lose everything, even if it is worth your life. ”

Yan Liang looked at Xiahou Rui's eyes and said solemnly without a trace of joke.

"Really? So, then I'll choose the second one. If both people can live, why choose to die! ”

When Xia Hourui spoke, he did not avoid the other party's eyes. The tone is serious and serious, but there is a hint of erratic, which makes people wonder through.

"The second? Actually, you don't have to ask, you can guess. Hahaha, Rui, you're really, just one question, you can't fool me, just let me know it's fake, and I'll be happy! ”

After Yan Liang's momentary silence, he broke all the inhibitions in two sentences. Make the atmosphere relaxed.

"Hmph, what the hell! Go get something to eat, you're so angry that you're starving! ”

Xia Hourui said angrily. But these words are not to ease the atmosphere.

"I said don't take your body to be angry, but I just don't listen. Look, in the end, it's yourself who suffers! ”

Listen to the other party shouting that they are hungry and want to eat. Yan Liang said something to the side.

"Get out! It will be so, because of whom! ”

The little scoundrel occasionally revealed by the other party still made Xiahou Rui quite helpless.

"Aren't I doing this for your own good! Really, kindness is not reciprocated. ”

Yan Liang muttered quietly, but the voice was so small that it was just enough for the other party to hear.

"You ......"

"Good, good! I'm going to get you something to eat right now. Don't be angry! I was so angry that I couldn't eat it if I wanted to. ”

As soon as Xiahou Rui spoke, he was interrupted by Yan Liang. Immediately after that, without waiting for the other party to say, after teasing and persuading, he turned around and went out to prepare food.

Watching the person leave the room, Xia Hourui put away all the expressions on his face, leaving only deep exhaustion.

And Yan Liang, who came out of the room, also had no smile on his face, and the rest was just loneliness that could not be hidden.
