Shi Yiguang's carriage did not go to Ling Yin's mansion. Heading straight for the Imperial Palace to the southeast.

When I walked to the main street, I saw the army escorting the Luan. The carriage stopped, and the wind village outside did not call Shi Yiguang, so Shi Yiguang did not move. He leaned sideways, lifted the curtain and looked out the window.

Pedestrians on both sides of the street knelt in row after row. They all bowed their heads and prostrate themselves.

In the middle of the street there is a black silk shelf, embroidered with gold wire, and on the black silk there are colorful silk birds. There are military escorts in the front and rear. He was carried forward in the middle of the street, and the wind of late spring blew the golden horns of black silk, and the vermilion brocade loomed inside.

Shi Yiguang's gaze swept over Bai Ding, who was kneeling next to him, and turned around and lowered the car curtains.

"Who's that?" Ban'er also lowered the curtain of the car on the other side and turned his head to look at Shi Yiguang.

"The nobles of the palace." Shi Yiguang replied softly. His eyes fell on the curtain in front of the carriage.

The words fell, and a conversation was remembered outside. The next moment, the voice of the wind village sounded outside the curtain of the car.

"Mr. Bingwen, your lord is here." Kazemura said.

Ban'er looked at Shi Yiguang and saw that her face was calm. He stepped forward and opened the curtain. Shi Yiguang bent over and walked out of the car.

Zixi stood outside the car with his hands down, saw Shi Yiguang, and took a step back. Hands together, in a salute, and hands up in respect: "Sir." ”

Shi Yiguang got out of the car, faced Zixi, also put his hands together, pushed forward, and saluted: "My lord." ”

Zixi raised his head and glanced at Shi Yiguang, with a fluctuating look in his eyes. He took a step to the side and made a 'please' gesture toward one of the larger carriages next to him.

Shi Yiguang also retreated to the side, and humbly said 'please' to Zi Xibi.

The two got into the carriage, and on the wheel sat the coachman and Fengcun, and Ban'er and the black dog could only sit back on the general's carriage.

The carriage continued down the street. The army that was following them got out of the way. Zixi's carriage soon followed behind Luan.

In the carriage, Shi Yiguang sat opposite Zixi.

"Thanks to Mr.'s love, when I was in danger, I still thought about Shen and sacrificed myself for me! Thanksgiving. Zi Xixun sat opposite, looking at Shi Yiguang, his gratitude was overflowing, and his words were moved: "Shen has nothing to repay." If Mr. has a request, Shen should be the liver and brain. ”

Shi Yiguang looked at Zixi, who was unabashedly grateful in front of him, and knew that he was obsessed with her horse jiri in the North Mountain. The corners of her mouth twitched.

Attitude at the moment, as well as self-proclaimed. made Shi Yiguang a little embarrassed.

"My lord's words, but what I did in a thought is not very kind." Shi Yiguang also sat opposite Zixi, his tone respectful and modest.

When Zixi heard this, his face was even more grateful: "What you do in a thought is what you want." As he spoke, Zixi raised his hands at Shi Yiguang and made an empty salute: "Thank you, Mr., there is nothing to repay." ”

Shi Yi's naked body moved back, and bowed his head to Zixi.

After that, Zixi looked at Shi Yiguang uprightly: "After today, Mr. has something to ask for, saying that with me, only do not violate the Tao and betray righteousness, and Shen should do his best." ”

Shi Yiguang habitually wanted to open his mouth to refuse, but when he heard Zixi's words at this moment, the words of refusal smashed the tip of his tongue and swirled, and she swallowed it again.

"Promise?" Shi Yiguang looked at Zixi and said a little slowly: "I don't ask for anything else, just one thing." ”

"Sir, please speak!" When Zixi heard this, he asked without thinking about it.

Shi Yiguang sat upright, looked at Zixi, and after a while, said, "I begg, I will be courteous to the house, and the adults can protect my health." ”

Zixi was already ready to be asked for something, but when he heard Shi Yiguang's words at this moment, his face was stunned.

"Huh?" He looked at Shi Yiguang and asked, "Ankang?" ”

Shi Yiguang looked at Zixi and nodded firmly: "Yes, Ankang." Adults may give? ”

When Zixi heard this, he looked at Shi Yiguang and did not reply.

This requirement, at first glance, sounds simple. But if you think about it carefully, the twists and turns in it will be bigger.

Zixi lowered his eyebrows, hung his head, and thought about it. After thinking for a while, he looked up at Shi Yiguang and nodded: "On the premise of not betraying the righteousness and not damaging the Chu State, I will definitely ensure Mr. Liang's health." ”

Shi Yiguang listened, but did not answer. Only frowned.

This promise, at first glance, sounds unassailable and heartwarming. But if you think about it seriously, you will know that this is nonsense. Zixi's promise is not very weighty.

The danger in general, of course, she can solve it herself. If you really want to encounter troubles that she can't solve, there will be more involved. There is another precondition that cannot involve morality and the state.

Shi Yiguang raised his eyebrows and looked at Zixi. The gratitude on his face was still there, but his eyes had calmed down.

Shi Yiguang hooked his lips, but he couldn't tell whether he was mocking or happy, and said lightly: "Then thank you for your kindness." ”

They all have lived into human spirits, and no matter how great the kindness reaches their hearts, they have to secretly pass the scales. Where did you come from?

However, even if Zixi did not put her heart into her mind, Shi Yiguang would not blame her in his heart.

First, even if people like Zixi calculate and weigh, most of them are for the country. There is not much selfishness, and the minister who is moral, physical and mental to the country is a person like Shi Yiguang who has no position to criticize. The second is that Shi Yiguang didn't show kindness to Zixi in the first place, but it was self-defeating, and where did he have the qualifications to ask Zixi to smear her liver and brain.

The carriage passed slowly, and after the bumps it leveled off.

Stop and go, get off the carriage in the palace, and walk to the main palace. After turning to the side of the hall to clean his hands, he followed Zixi to the outside of the palace.

Shi Yiguang waited with Zixi in the outer hall. There are palace people entering the palace to spread the word.

King Chu Zhao inside was talking to Xiong Zhang, who had just arrived.

Zixi went first. Leaving Shi Yiguang alone outside the hall.

This stop has been standing for a long time.

It was the end of late spring. The sky is clear. Mostly sunny days. Shi Yiguang stood under the veranda outside the palace, with the twilight sun shining on her.

She had been standing under the veranda for a long time, a little hot from the direct sunlight. The hair wrapped around his head was neatly bunned, but one or two strands of hair hung down.

She stood outside the temple with her eyes downcast. After a while, I heard an internal official come out of the hall, walked next to Shi Yiguang, and said with a smile: "Sir, the king is invited." ”

Shi Yiguang lowered his hand and entered the temple.

The palace was silent. On either side were standing attendants or officials. Shi Yiguang only hung his head slightly, and entered the hall without squinting.

"Grass people Bingwen, meet the king." Then he brushed his sleeves and hands, knelt down and leaned over, put his hands on the ground, nodded his head to the ground, and made a big salute.

Shi Yiguang knelt down, and after a while, the gentle voice of King Chu Zhao sounded from above.

"Mr. Bingwen, please."
