Although he has long been immune and accustomed to it, when he heard his name, the chopsticks in Lu Xinyi's hand almost landed.

Ruan Er hurriedly said with concern: "Mrs. Lu, are you okay?" Do you know this guy named Zijing? ”

The past reverberated in front of her eyes, as if it happened yesterday, and when she looked up at this Ruan Er again, the vague face of the little fox in her mind coincided with the face of this young man, and she couldn't help but wet her eyes.

She muttered: "Not only do I know, he is also my closest person, but I'm afraid that I will break my promise to help you find him." ”

Xiao Cong sighed, embarrassed: "Prince Zijing has been dead for many years. ”

After Ruan Er heard this, she was sad, and the dinner table fell to the freezing point for a while, and then, Ruan Er said:

"Mrs. Lu, can you tell me how he died?"

Lu Xinyi was reluctant to mention that sad incident, and Xiao Cong, after obtaining consent, told Ruan Er about the past, and after that, Lu Xinyi added:

"I always wondered why I didn't remember him, but later I found out that it was he who gave up his spiritual base in order to save me. It is precisely because of this that he lost his cultivation and finally died at the hands of the mountain spirits. ”

Ruan Er looked at Lu Xinyi, only to see that her face was like ashes, and she also understood her indifferent state of mind about poverty and happiness at this time, and couldn't help but feel compassion, and said:

"Mrs. Lu doesn't have to blame herself, since you have identified him as the closest person, he must have already identified you as the closest person. I think that after having a thought in people's hearts and having a belief, can we truly feel the existence of life, and Zijing Gongzi is not in vain to come to this world, he is happy and worthwhile! ”

After that, he wanted to speak and stopped, but finally made up his mind, and said quietly but firmly: "If it were me, I would be willing." ”

Hearing this, Lu Xinyi's heart was a lot happier and she was comforted, she barely held out a smile and said to Li Shubai:

"Don't run around with you, help Ruan Er choose a weapon, such an adult, why are you so stingy! Besides, I haven't seen you in all these years, so I should have stayed a few more days! ”

Li Shubai had no choice but to agree.

Immediately, Xin Yi said to Ruan Er: "Your spiritual foundation is not perfect, let Xiao Cong be your master first, her human foundation is very solid, when you learn her skills, I will help you rebuild your spiritual foundation to see if you can continue your cultivation." ”

Ruan Er was immediately excited, got up and stood in the middle of the room, bowed deeply to Lu Xinyi and Xiao Cong, but was not happy, and then threw herself on her knees again, collapsed and knocked her head three times, and called Master, and then gave up.

After a while, Lu Xinyi ordered someone to prepare a few jars of good wine and send them up, and several people served the food and drank it from afternoon to evening.

As the night fell, Li Shubai walked out of the door with a wine jug, Xiao Cong and Ruan Er inside were still exchanging kung fu cultivation, he saw Lu Xinyi standing alone under the moon, his body was desolate and lonely, he couldn't help but walk behind him, and asked:

"With such a beautiful day, why does the princess have something else on her mind?"

Lu Xinyi looked back at him, also carrying a pot of wine in his hand, and said with a smile: "You kid hasn't seen you for many years, but you grow very fast!" ”

Li Shubai stuck out his tongue: "What's the use of being big, I think Tu Shansong was already in the princess's mansion when he was my age!" When I was a child, I wanted to be a colt, and now I'm still an old bachelor! ”

The moonlight is slightly cool, the surrounding fields, full of rice fragrance, faintly the sound of cicadas and frogs, outside the wilderness in the lonely depths, in the reeds, there are countless fireflies, the stream is deep and shallow, sprinkled with a layer of sparkling moonlight, the breeze blows in the ears, as if telling endless thoughts and tenderness.

Lu Xinyi smiled: "You came to me, and you stopped talking a few times, I'm afraid you wanted to ask me why you have avoided Tu Shansong for so many years!" ”

Li Shubai took a sip of wine: "Originally, I shouldn't have taken care of the two of you." I don't bother to care, I haven't thought about going back since I came out of Qingqiu! For many years, Master has always wanted to teach me to be a person who can bend and stretch, and has great wisdom and strategy, but unfortunately, I have a straightforward nature, and in the end, I was unable to get his wish.

But you. Master, he counted step by step, step by step, you were in his bureau with no last resort, but I didn't expect you to escape too, why are you? ”

Lu Xinyi raised her head, took a big sip of wine, the light in her eyes lit up, and she chuckled:

"After Liuzhang's death, I once thought that the only person in the world who could be relied on was him Tu Shansong. So I longed to fly to him at that time, and I wanted to leave everything here behind and go to see him, but Liuzhang left me a letter.

It was a letter written by my father, in which he didn't say anything else, he was just talking about his mistakes, all talking about his incompetence, causing hundreds of people in Jingguo to be displaced and their families ruined.

He writes so vividly that it brings tears to your eyes. On the second page of the letter, there is a letter from Liuzhang and the State of Chu, which says that once Liuzhang dies, the State of Chu will come to Huanchu Mountain and take the last of these people directly. They will replace Liuzhang with another person, but they will not change their plans. ”

Li Shubai looked at her with a slightly moved expression: "So, you are guarding the people of Jingguo in order to fulfill Emperor Jing's last wish?" You know that only you can protect them now, so you'd rather take them to this deep mountain and old forest by yourself. ”

Lu Xinyi nodded, and said: "I know, Song is smart and ambitious, I can't trap him here for my own ideas, not to mention, he can't agree!" Therefore, I kept my name incognito and refused to say Yanyu's father's name, in order not to let him have too much burden. ”

When Li Shubai heard this, he suddenly had respect in his heart, he raised his glass, faced the moon, and Lu Xinyi, drank it all, and said:

"Sister Lu, this cup, I respect you for the people of Jingguo in the world!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, and drank a glass of glass.

Immediately, Li Shubai said: "But there is no need to separate this matter." As far as I know, the old fox has had a very bad time in the past few years.

He has tried his best to conquer the world, and now he has mastered the food lifeline of the Moon Kingdom, and he is using the Moon Country to involve the Chu State, it can be said that both countries are in his hands, and he is no longer the Tu Shansong he was back then.

But he was at the pinnacle of power, his relatives and friends were gone, and he was alone, very lonely. To be honest, if I were him, I would also feel that life is dull and boring. (End of chapter)
