After pushing open the door, what Xu Zi'an didn't expect was that during the time he was out, Shen Li had already come back and was looking at the note he left under the bowl

The old man's steps were broken, he walked slowly, and he was blocked by Xu Zi'an's figure, so Shen Li only saw Xu Zi'an, but did not see the old man behind him

"When did you come back?" Xu Zi'an was slightly stunned and asked casually

"I came back from the back of the town, and on the way I met an acquaintance I hadn't seen for a long time, and it was too troublesome to say hello, so I came back over the wall."

Shen Li withdrew his gaze from the book as he spoke, and when he looked at the courtyard door, he found that there seemed to be a figure behind the young man slowly walking in

"Alas, alas, alas, why did you bring him back?"

"Yes, I can't say hello now."

"Ahem, long time no see......... You're not dead yet, are you?"

..................

I haven't seen old friends for many years, and when I see them, I don't greet them politely, but first greet the topic of whether to die or not, which is really embarrassing

Shen Li looked at the layer of oil slick on the chicken soup seriously, intending to hide the embarrassment of the detour just now, but then he thought that this was his home, he was the master, and the other party was the guest

"You said that you are so old, how good it is to stay in the yard honestly, you have nothing to walk the dog, and you have to let the dog bite people so leisurely, why do you run such a long way to join in the fun?"

The old man looked at this old friend he hadn't seen for more than ten years and said with a smile

"It's always a little boring after a long time of leisure, and it's good to come out and go around."

"Coming out and going around?"

Shen Li's face did not have the slightest embarrassment and happiness when his old friends met, and he frowned and sneered

"I'm afraid that man thinks you're in the way."

For some reasons, Shen Li was very reluctant to say the man's name, but the old man was not so taboo, and naturally found out the man's identity

"Your Majesty wanted me to go to the south to retire a few years ago, but I always felt that where the air was humid, there was less rough smell that the dynasty should have, so I never went, now it seems that the choice at that time was really correct, if I went where, how could I see the good scenery of the breeze and shallow stream here today?"

As he spoke, the old man looked at the boundless mountains in the distance, and his deep eyes were reflected in the moonlight

"No matter how good the scenery is, you will get tired of it after watching it for more than ten years"

Shen Liba clicked his mouth a few times, waved his hand to interrupt the old man's words, and continued in a strange manner

"I told you a long time ago, where can the man on the dragon chair really be as gentle as he seems? His surname is Zhou, and he has the blood of the former emperor in his body, how ruthless the former emperor should know, then how can he be a person who is indecisive and remembers his old feelings?

Without waiting for the old man to reply, Shen Li sneered, looked at the scenery of the mountain and said indifferently

"Before he died, he gave you and me a place with a good view, he is really a very wise king"

The old man's withered lips moved slightly, wanting to say something, but he didn't know how to say it, so after a while, he had to smile slightly, and let out a sigh softly, indescribable vicissitudes of compassion

He didn't know what Shen Li meant, he was the one who released Shen Li with his own hands back then, and now the person who sent Shen Li on the road can only be him

Emperor Wu now asked him to send Shen Li on the road, so why didn't he send himself on the road?

But the old man did not complain about the man on the dragon chair because of this, on the contrary, there was some sense of relief, he lived for a long, long time, longer than everyone imagined, and saw many people with different obsessions

He understood the man's distress very well, and he was also willing to relieve His Majesty's worries

Your Majesty's worries

It's from the Dawn of the Night

For some reason, the master rarely came forward, so the great task of the division in the early night could only be resisted by him, in these ten years, he rarely went out, most of the time in the dim house shaded by the ashamed trees, quietly looking at the texture between the leaves, looking at the clouds outside the window that were disturbed by the ashamed branches, and looking at the palace under the messy clouds

This can make His Majesty feel at ease, and it is also to give the Qingye Division a stability

As for the events of the year, how can one or two words be able to relieve it

Shen Li's today is inextricably linked to the man on the dragon chair, but the man on the dragon chair now has an inexhaustible relationship with Shen Li?

The old man didn't want to quarrel with Shen Li because of these things, he took his eyes off the new cotton jacket on Shen Li's body, and looked at everything in the small courtyard, the mottled pillars with the old ash peeling, the new grass on the low wall, the wilted peach blossoms next to the new grass, and the withered vine recliner under the peach blossoms

Looking at the rocking chair, the old man's calm gaze shone brightly, revealing a child-like satisfied smile, and whispered softly

"I didn't expect to keep it."

After speaking, the old man walked to the rocking chair and bent down to lie on the rocking chair, and the wrinkles on his face were relieved by the comfortable feeling of the rocking chair

I don't know if it's because the old man's thin body is too light, or because the old man's shaking strength is not as rough as Shen Li's, the squeaking sound coming from the old chair at this time is very melodious and full of joy

It's like seeing a real old friend again

Listening to the familiar squeaks, the old man felt as if he had gone back many years

"Your Majesty is actually not as unbearable as you say, over the years, Your Majesty has mentioned you more than once, every time you mention it, there is always a sense of longing and emotion in your words, if it weren't for the ...... There are old illnesses, and Your Majesty would like to come and see you in person this time."

The old man shook comfortably, and he spoke very calmly

Shen Li chuckled again after hearing this, and said disdainfully

"Look at me, I'm afraid you want to make sure I have that thing in my hand?"

Speaking of this, Shen Li suddenly paused

"Or is it that he knows he doesn't have much time left, so he doesn't want to wait any longer"

"The Thousand Mountains Sect, the Bailu, the Sword Pavilion, and those old factions in the dynasty who are determined to change, who are qualified to know about this matter, which one of them is also not capable of changing the final direction of the matter? He is the only king in the world, Dali listens to him, but how can these hidden sects listen to him?"

"I'm like a knife hanging over his head, but this knife is hidden in his sleeve, no one knows if I have that knife in my hand, he doesn't know, you don't know, everyone doesn't know, but this knife is sharp enough to kill him, that's why he's so anxious."

The old man was silent and continued to listen to Shen Li's words

"Now that I just broke the news that I was going back to Beijing, he was so flustered that he didn't hesitate to tear his face with the Qing Ye Division to let you come here, I'm afraid he just thought that instead of letting me go to the world, it would be better to finalize all the variables at this time."

After Shen Li finished speaking, he stared into the old man's eyes and repeated again

"It seems that our majesty, time is really running out"

It rained all night last night, and tonight the clouds are sparse and the stars are bright, and the night sky is dotted with a little starlight, which is also shrouded in the earth, which is particularly beautiful

The old man sat up slightly, stretched his hand out of the sleeve of his sackcloth, and the starlight flew between the old man's fingers like fireflies, looking at the brilliant starlight between his hands, the old man said suddenly

"When I went out of Beijing, Prince Ning came to me, and his speech was quite radical, it should have been given the meaning of a certain noble person in the palace, and before Prince Ning came to me, there was a letter that was handed over to the palace by the hands of the military, and that letter came from the Qianshan Sect."

Hearing this, Shen Li interrupted the old man's words, snorted coldly, and said sneeringly

"Can let a prince pass the word, which nobleman ...... It's so imposing."

The old man ignored Shen Li's taunt and continued to say what had just been interrupted

"The letter from the Thousand Mountains Sect is now in His Majesty's study, and the copy was delivered to me by the son of the division, and on the night after the letter entered the palace, three thousand Xuanjia heavy horses left Kyoto, and similarly, there was a young official with a sword who went to the Sword Pavilion, and the official was a disciple of the Sword Saint, and asked for a sword from the Sword Saint."

"Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry, Sword Saint, and you, it seems that Emperor Wu has also given me enough face, by the way, what about the Thousand Mountains Sect, it is so lively, how can there be no shadow of them?"

The old man hesitated before speaking

"If nothing else, the person who came up from the Thousand Mountains Sect should be the one back then, and it should be about to arrive at this time."

"Also............ It's all acquaintances."

Shen Li pursed his lips and said softly, not panicked at all by being chased by everyone, and looked very lazy and bored

...............

Time passes little by little, brutal and unforgiving

The old man looked up at the quiet night sky and suddenly muttered

"Time......... It's really not much."

The people from the Thousand Mountains Sect have already come, the people from the military have also come, the people in the Sword Pavilion may be on the way, but how long can they be late? The people who can participate in this matter have already arrived one after another, the situation is so urgent, the time to chat......... Not much, really

"Since time is running out, why are you still stunned? Since Your Majesty asked you to come, you will let you die, so ...... Go and die."

Shen Li looked at the cold chicken soup on the table with an expressionless face and said indifferently

The atmosphere became cold for a while, the breeze and the bright moon in the air seemed to be frozen into a bleak painting, in the painting, the old man stared at Shen Li, Shen Li looked at the chicken soup ruthlessly, and Xu Zi'an stood between the two of them at a loss

Since he was admitted to the hospital, he has been standing between the two of them, listening to a long conversation, some words he did not understand, but some words he heard very clearly

The man on the dragon chair, the powerful nobleman, the Xuanjia Heavy Horse, the Outer Sect, and the rumored Qingye Division that even the powerful ghosts dare not raise their voices

He suddenly realized that even though he had tried hard to think about this matter, it was more complicated than he imagined

The young man always thought that Shen Li was a big man who offended a certain big man back then, and this big man was likely to be a powerful general in the military, but now it seems that the so-called military is just a chess piece

The person who plays chess can no longer be described by the word power, because the entire Dali Dynasty, and even, the whole world is his

What was the thing in Shen Li's hand that even the kings of the past valued it, the old book, the black stone, or other things that even he didn't know

Xu Zi'an turned his head with difficulty and glanced at the old man, not knowing how to believe that the kind-looking old man in front of him came from the rumored terrifying and eerie Qingye Division

This strengthened some of the suspicions in his heart, and it also exacerbated his uneasiness

If he could, he very much didn't want Shen Li to do anything with the old man, although the old man had only met him for a few hours, but Xu Zi'an could clearly feel the old man's inexplicable kindness and expectations for him, this feeling was very special, just like a teacher

He felt that he should do something, at least to make this fight come a little later, and although it didn't seem like much point to be earlier and later, at least he did

The boy suddenly remembered that when he was in the gazebo, the old man had said that he wanted to eat the noodles he cooked

So he bent down and picked up the porcelain bowl on the table, looked at the chicken soup in the bowl, and said cautiously to the old man

Shen ...... No, someone once said that everything in the world, except for life and death, is a trivial matter."

"So, I thought, since you haven't seen each other for a long time, why do you have to fight and kill when you meet?"

"So, don't you want to eat the noodles I cooked when you're in the gazebo? I happen to have chicken soup at home, can I make chicken soup noodles for you to eat?"
