Chapter 24: The Old Reunion

When the three of them arrived at the gate of the fence courtyard, the house was brightly lit, and a man dressed in black was facing away from them, standing alone in the courtyard, raising his hand to caress the plum blossoms in front of him.

After hearing the sound, the man in black turned around, and the three of Tang Li were stunned when they saw this person.

The man in black had a pale face, unusually handsome features, a straight and tall nose, thin lips, and a pair of narrow eyes full of coldness. He was wearing a black robe with a golden belt around his waist, and his body exuded a faint scent of smoke, which seemed to be mixed with a little bit of blood.

"Why are you here?!"

Although Tang Li was surprised, he still stepped forward and spoke.

Shen Yanzhi didn't know the man in front of him, he only felt that this man was full of danger, looking at Tang Li's reaction, it seemed that there was an old acquaintance between the two, and it was best for him to avoid it.

He turned around and planned to ask Xinglin to leave together, but when he saw Xinglin looking in the direction of the man in black with a frightened expression, Shen Yanzhi concluded that his conjecture just now was not wrong, this man was very dangerous, so he decided to stay where he was to prevent any accidents.

"You're doing well after leaving the capital~" Xu Ran's cold eyes met Tang Li's, and a trace of joy leaked slightly.

Tang Li was a little drumming in his heart, and he almost knew why he came, but he actually came to invite him in person, which was a bit unexpected by himself. Thinking of this, he decided not to speak for the time being, to see what he wanted to do.

"Don't tell me you don't know why I'm here?" Xu Ran saw that Tang Li didn't answer for a long time, so he asked again. Xu Ran's tone of voice was very cold, which made Tang Li tremble.

"Yes." Tang Li gritted his teeth and said.

The smile on Xu Ran's face became brighter and brighter when he heard this, but the coldness in his eyes became more and more intense, and he said coldly: "Then why don't you reply to my silk book?" And..."Xu Ran glanced up at Shen Yanzhi who was standing in the distance, then turned around and said with a sneer: "And you still have the mind to care about other people's affairs?" ”

Tang Li didn't feel half happy when he reunited with Xu Ran today, but he felt that the man in front of him seemed to have become more domineering and paranoid than in the past. She was dissatisfied and asked, "Your Majesty really believes that there is that Penglai Immortal Island in this world?" ”

"I was still skeptical, but when I saw you, I was convinced." Xu Ran looked at Tang Li's delicate face and continued: "Look, the two of us are still the same as in the past, there is no change in the slightest, right?" ”

Tang Li suddenly didn't know how to reject him, he and he were indeed as he said, seven years passed in a flash, and there was no trace left on them, they were still as young and strong as before.

But even so, I still don't want to look for immortals, it's not that I don't believe it, I just don't want to miss my life for a void thing like my father, and there are people who love me.

"Your Majesty, please go back! Now that I am used to idle clouds and wild cranes, I can't afford the heavy responsibility entrusted by Your Majesty, and I hope that Your Majesty will choose another virtuous and virtuous person! Tang Li didn't look at his expression, he made a deep gesture, and did not raise his body to show his determination.

The surging anger in Xu Ran's heart was almost uncontrollable, but he forcibly endured this flame and calmed himself down, he knew Tang Li's temper very well, if he turned his face with her today, he was afraid that it would make her even more difficult to control.

What's more, he can't fall out with Tang Li now, she is still useful to herself, but Tang Li is becoming more and more unscrupulous now, and almost every word is disobedient to herself, making her mood more and more irritable.

Xu Ran took a deep breath before speaking, "When you left, do you remember your promise?" ”

Tang Li's head was not raised, and he bent down deeply and said: "Your Majesty's forgiveness, as far as I know, the Mengqi Rebellion has been quelled by Your Majesty, and the people of Guangyun Country are now happy, and the four seas are peaceful, I think, Your Majesty's court does not need me." ”

"You're very clear!" Xu Ran raised his eyebrows slightly.

"I didn't know by accident, but Your Majesty's prestige is far away, and my humble room has not been spared." Tang Li replied neither humbly nor arrogantly. But she did overhear it, but it wasn't heard in Fuyunju, the last time she went to the county seat, the little two talked too much, and she couldn't listen to it if she wanted to.

"Haven't you had enough vinegar after all this time?"

Xu Ran picked a plum blossom from the tree, reached out to help Tang Li up, and then inserted the plum blossom into her bun, and asked softly.

Tang Li was so surprised that she forgot to move her body, and just stood like this and let Xu Ran fiddle with her hair, and after a while, she reacted and took two steps back, avoiding Xu Ran's hand.

"Why did Your Majesty say that?"

Tang Li asked suspiciously, they... Wasn't it over seven years ago?

"Otherwise, how could you take this kid in? He is our enemy, have you forgotten? Xu Ran looked at his empty hand, his back was behind him dissatisfied, and his eyes swept contemptuously over Shen Yanzhi who was not far away.

"Back then, he was just an innocent child, and he had nothing to do with the evil that Shen Jiang did, I just pitied him." Tang Li wanted to laugh a little, he wouldn't be so naΓ―ve, and the end was over.

"You obviously deliberately took him in and was angry with me! I'm mad that I ruined the appointment between the two of us and married someone else! I've already said it, I'm helpless, are you so stingy? ”

Xu Ran was a little annoyed, the woman in front of her didn't eat oil and salt, she didn't eat soft and hard, and she couldn't do anything with her, she was really aggrieved.

"Your Majesty has misunderstood! Never! Tang Li shook his head, his eyes were very determined.

"You! Tang Li, you wait for me! ”

Xu Ran didn't want to talk nonsense with Tang Li anymore, she was simply hopeless, he could forgive her for becoming a mediocre person who had no pursuit, but he couldn't forgive, as a woman, she was so disobedient.

Xu Ran couldn't stay any longer, he swept his sleeves angrily over the plum tree next to him, the plum petals fell one after another, and he turned around and left with a cold snort.

"Your Majesty, go slowly."

Tang Lili still maintained that humble posture, and only slowly raised his body until Xu Ran's figure completely disappeared into the mountains.

Tang Li sighed depressedly, only to feel that he was too naΓ―ve in the past, although she and Xu Ran had already ended, but in her heart she still retained the friendship that grew up together, and now he has grown into a real king, a ruthless person with the world in his heart, he should adjust his mentality, no longer retain illusions, and completely draw a line with him.

Say goodbye today, I don't know when we will meet again next time, how should she face Xu Ran at that time? But it's better not to say goodbye. Thinking of this, Tang Li was a little sad, and couldn't help but sigh again.

Xinglin ran quickly to Tang Li's side, looking at Tang Li with an anxious face.

"Miss? Why did Your Majesty come? What is Your Majesty doing here? He's not going to embarrass you again, is he? ”

Xinglin looked at Tang Li's depressed appearance, and secretly guessed in his heart, it seems that the conversation between the two has collapsed again, so he still shouldn't ask questions, so as not to make Miss sad.

Tang Li patted Xinglin's shoulder and turned back to the room without speaking, Shen Yanzhi followed silently, but was pulled by Xinglin.

Xinglin shook his head lightly at Shen Yanzhi, saying that it was best to let the young lady be alone, and then let go of Shen Yanzhi's arm and silently turned around and went back to his room. Leaving Shen Yanzhi to stand in place if he was thinking.

------------------------------

Early in the morning, the sun filtered through the window, illuminating the room, and also shining on the sleeping figure on the bed, her eyebrows twisted, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and her eyes opened suddenly.

Seeing that Sakura had a nightmare last night, she woke up at the moment, and her heart was still pounding. The cheerful sound of birds outside the window squeezed in through the window, and Sakura realized that she couldn't be so decadent anymore. Yesterday's scene hurt myself and my family after all.

She let out a long breath and got out of bed with a thud, intending to find something for herself to do.

With a "squeak", Sakura opened the wooden door.

"Ahh

To Sakura's surprise, a sleeping man rolled in with the open wooden door, and Sakura exclaimed in surprise, waking up Zhao Chong, who had slept against the door frame all night and then rolled into the room.

Seeing that Sakura was frightened by himself, Zhao Chong hurriedly got up on the ground in a panic, slapped the dirt on his body crampedly with his hands, walked out of the house very embarrassed, turned to face Sakura, but his hands kept rubbing each other nervously.

"See... See Sakura Girl. ”

Zhao Chong stood cramped at the door, trying to hide his panic, and said awkwardly.

Seeing Sakura looking at the man in front of her, her eyes began to flush uncontrollably again, her mind was full of the scene that happened yesterday, she was ashamed and annoyed for a while, she didn't know how to face him, and she also stammered: "Zhao... Brother Zhao, aren't you leaving? ”

"I didn't leave, I never planned to leave, I just didn't know how to tell you..."Zhao Chong scratched his head embarrassedly, a touch of shyness flashed on his face.

"What are you going to say?" Sakura asked.

Zhao Chong rubbed his hand again and again, almost rubbing it into the mud, hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and opened his mouth.

"Sakura, are you really willing to be my wife?"

Hearing this, he saw that Sakura's face instantly collapsed, and he said slightly, "I don't want to do it now." ”

"Why? Didn't you say you liked me yesterday? Zhao Chong was a little puzzled, but he secretly felt guilty in his heart, he felt that he had hurt her in yesterday's incident.

"That's who I was yesterday, not who I am today. Besides, I won't marry someone who doesn't like me, and you don't have to pity me. Seeing Sakura turn around, facing Zhao Chong sideways to see Sakura, don't look away, don't want to look at him.

"I didn't mean to reject you yesterday, I was afraid..."Zhao Chong hurriedly explained, he was really afraid that she would misunderstand something, and he would not see her again, he thought about it all night yesterday, and he had already thought very clearly, he couldn't miss this last opportunity.

"You're afraid of me?" Sakura interrupted angrily.
