When Li Zhong led the soldiers back in a hurry, Na Wei Rui had already returned home, he was standing in the courtyard, looking up at the bright moon in the night sky, tonight was the thirteenth day of August, and the moon was full in two days.

Li Zhong saw that Wei Rui was looking at the moon attentively, so he slowed down his pace and walked behind him lightly, he didn't dare to speak, just stood quietly aside.

Wei Rui asked after a while, "Everyone has been sent out?"

"General, Fan Jun and his party have left the capital safely. Li Zhong replied to him in a low voice.

Wei Rui slowly turned around at this time, and when he saw the extremely strange expression on Li Zhong's face, he asked softly, "What's the matter?"

"Ah------ General, this is going well, but things are too strange. Li Zhong touched the back of his head, not knowing where to start, and Wei Rui in front of him always made him feel that something was wrong.

"Oh, it's good if it's going well, it's good if it's going well!" Wei Rui nodded very understandingly, this Li Zhong in front of him was a rough man, and it was reasonable that he couldn't say some things.

"General------ why don't you seem to be worried about Fan Jun at all?" Li Zhong then understood why he was a little strange just now, and the expression of the great general in front of him was too calm, and he didn't mean to worry at all.

Wei Rui finally laughed: "Li Zhong, do you have too many questions in your heart at this time, and you want to ask me for an explanation?"

"Ouch, general, you have spoken in the eyes of the last general, today's unexpected thing is too much, and it makes me Li Zhong feel incredible. ”

"------ I have time tonight, General Li, if you have any questions, I can answer you. Wei Rui sighed softly, not only Li Zhong, there were too many things he had never thought of.

"General, that Fan Jun is a peerless master, his martial arts can be said to be unfathomable, I was stunned at the time. Li Zhong's words were a little inconsistent, but Wei Rui had already heard them very clearly.

He stood quietly under the moonlight, looking at Li Zhong's gloomy face in front of him for a while, presumably after he saw Fan Jun's profound martial arts, the first thing he felt was that he didn't believe it.

"Aside from this, what else does General Li feel wrong?"

"This General ------ Wei, you must have known that Fan Jun was a person with superb martial arts, right? It's just that what the last general doesn't understand is, when did you know about this? Then Fan Jun didn't reveal this matter in front of anyone?" Li Zhong really made this matter feel very shocked and puzzled, that Fan Jun had been with them for several years, and they had fought dozens of battles together, but they never discovered Fan Jun's true strength.

But Wei Rui in front of him looked like he was not frightened, and he must have known these things for a long time. After Wei Rui caught Li Zhong's words, he smiled indifferently and asked Li Zhong, "Li Zhong, do you remember the battle of Zhongli?"

Li Zhong looked at Wei Rui blankly, and said loudly: "How can the general forget the end of the Zhongli battle, it is the most unforgettable and forgotten battle that my Li Zhong has experienced in his life, why did the general mention the Zhongli battle at this time?"

"Li Zhong------ do you still remember Fan Jun in front of the two armies under Zhongli City?" Wei Rui then asked.

"Fan Jun in front of the two armies?" Li Zhong looked at Wei Rui stupidly, he had seen a lot of Fan Jun in front of the two armies, in Shaoyang City, outside Hefei City, under Zhaocao City, there was Fan Jun in front of the two armies everywhere, he didn't understand why Fan Jun under Zhongli City would be different?

Wei Rui raised his head and looked at the bright moonlight, with a hint of coldness, slowly sprinkled on their bodies, and he said softly after a long while: "Li Zhong, do you remember what happened before I ordered the charge when Fan Jun was facing the army of the Northern Wei Dynasty under Zhongli City?"

"------" Li Zhong suddenly didn't dare to answer Wei Rui's words, his memory was a little blurry for a while, of course he remembered Fan Jun at that time, but these things Wei Rui said made him very incomprehensible.

"Since you remember the events of that day, you must still remember what happened after Fan Jun drew his sword. ”

Li Zhong suddenly realized: "General, what are you referring to------ sword roar------"

Wei Rui nodded silently, he turned around to look at Li Zhong, and said softly: " When Fan Jun drew his sword in front of the two armies, the sword roar has been echoing in front of the two armies------ at that time all your energy was on the enemy army opposite, not many people noticed the sword roar, but I ------ I have been standing beside Fan Jun, the sword roar shocked me, that sword is the sword used by the emperor when he got up, the emperor at that time can be described as young and strong, plus the sword is as sharp as clay, this sword is soaked in the blood of too many people------"

"So what?" asked Li Zhong puzzled.

"The sound of the sword roar is long and continuous, and it is impossible to do this without ten or eight years of profound skill------ which cannot be achieved. Wei Rui let out a long sigh, "Ever since Fan Jun pulled out that sword in front of me, I knew that he had peerless martial arts------ but he could hide himself so deeply, it was indeed not something ordinary people could do." ”

"General------ you can conclude that Fan Jun ------ him, he ------ based on that sword roar," Li Zhong asked with a bit of a stutter.

"From ancient times to the present, how many chivalrous people can die for their confidants, they can die for their faith------ I have a lot of rangers, but I have not seen many real chivalrous people. It's just that he has a very deep impression of that Gu Yi Mountain, that Gu Yi Mountain can be described as a real chivalrous man, upright, dare to love and hate, for the righteous he can fight with his life to help, for the evil person he can take off his head in an instant------ his whereabouts are erratic, even I just have a quick relationship with him. "Save people from misfortune, inspire people without supporting, people care, do not believe, do not double, the righteous have to take it", think that the "Historical Records", what is said is true------ those people with strong martial arts, of course, we ordinary people think differently, but these chivalrous behaviors, I didn't find them in Fan Jun at all------ he hid these things deep in his heart, and the light of chivalry on his body has been covered up by his extraordinary talent. ”

Li Zhong remembered that when Fan Jun drew his sword, Wei Rui's eyes suddenly opened and stared straight at Fan Jun, it turned out that since then, Wei Rui had already seen through Fan Jun's identity, if Wei Rui didn't cherish Fan Jun's talent, presumably he would not have left Fan Jun by his side.

"General------ why haven't you told you about this matter?" Li Zhong asked strangely.

Wei Rui looked at him gloomily: "Since Fan Jun drew his sword, I expected that Zhongli would fight, and my Liang would win! What the emperor wants is such a result, everything else is not important, a little Fan Jun, what is his true identity, in that Zhongli City, will it matter?" Li Zhong, I am very grateful to Fan Jun in my heart, he followed Zhao Cao to do the grain pawn, he helped Zhao Cao win the battle of Shaoyang, when the general of Changyi was stationed in Zhongli City, the Northern Wei Dynasty's fire attack was completely crushed by the method of burial, and Fan Jun followed me when the brave soldiers trained by his hands, day and night, brave and brave, if there is no brave soldiers who block ten, we will not have a big victory in Xiaoyan City, there will be no victory in the battle of Hefei------ I don't want him to leave, if he has a position in the army, my Liang's country can be more stable, and my ------ can also rest well, no longer have to worry about those idle minds that shouldn't be, you can take a good rest of your body. Alas------ after Fan Jun was not reused by the emperor, what I was most worried about at that time was that Fan Jun would have different intentions, and I thought about it day and night, always thinking about how to calm the resentment and sadness in his heart------"

"However, Fan Jun didn't want to rebel. Li Zhong said puzzled, "He is loyal to the emperor, to the court, and to the general." ”

Wei Rui shook his head gently, Fan Jun is the one who is most likely to rebel, because of his background, he is not only Fan Yuncheng's son, he is also Ling Xiao's son, that Ling Xiao's life experience has already determined the path she will take in the future, what Fan Jun has been waiting for is not someone else's instructions, but the instructions that his mother finally gave him, if Ling Xiao insists on killing the current emperor, the first person to draw a sword to help must be her son Fan Jun, there is no doubt about this.

"General, what you said tonight is too unbelievable. Li Zhong said in surprise, "Fan Jun will never have a different heart, he is the most loyal person I have ever seen." ”

"Li Zhong, there are some things that we can't control. Wei Rui shook his head slightly, what is the meaning of loyalty and disloyalty at this time? Everything will eventually pass away with the loss of life.

"The last general still has a question: Who taught Fan Jun this shocking martial arts?" Li Zhong hesitated for a long time, but still said the question in his heart, "Could it be that at his young age, there will be a ranger who will take him as an apprentice?" But even if he has been practicing since he was a child, in this short period of time, he will definitely not become a person with strong martial arts?"

Wei Rui looked at him silently and did not answer his question, yes, why did Fan Jun have such advanced martial arts at such a young age, when did he start practicing martial arts, and who was his master?

Of course, Wei Rui knows who his master is, his master must be his mother-in-law, the mother who always has a domineering attitude between her gestures, her kind of majesty is not possessed by the dispensable title of lady, her kind of temperament is innate, which no one can give.

He can't say these words to Li Zhong, he can't even say them to anyone, no one will believe what he says, he doesn't believe that a low-key woman can have amazing martial arts, and can train her son into a hero in the world------

Ling Xiao was once attacked outside the prince's mansion, the person who attacked her must be He Zheng, thinking that He Zheng didn't understand until he died, he identified Ling Xiao as his enemy, and identified Ling Xiao as the old man with the gray hair, why when she was attacked, the old man with the blue hair suddenly appeared in front of He Zheng, which made He Zheng puzzled.

These things that He Zheng can't figure out even if he wants to break his head, in Wei Rui's opinion, it is a simple thing, the old man with the gray hair can suddenly appear because Fan Jun has returned to Ling Xiao's side, and their mother and son are both equipped with peerless martial arts, so it is reasonable for Fan Jun to appear as an old man with the blue hair.

Wei Rui figured out everything, but he wouldn't answer all Li Zhong's questions, he knew his words, few people in this world believed it, even the current emperor didn't believe what he said, although the emperor was full of fear in his heart, but he wouldn't believe that Ling Xiao had such strength. Wei Rui remembered the letter that Ling Xiao burned, he saw the letter burned with his own eyes, and his heart was very relieved and grateful, Ling Xiao is an extremely smart woman, she knows that as long as she opens the letter, she is in response to her mother's order to her when she is dying, if she agrees, then the world will be peaceful, and it is inevitable that the people will be lost, if she does not agree, then she will bear the infamy of unfilial piety, and she will be miserable for the rest of her life------ she chose a path that others have not chosen at all, that is, to destroy the letter, and if she does not look at it, there will be no heresy, this is what a smart person can come up with。

There are very few people he admires in his life, that Ling Xiao can be regarded as the first person he admires, for the invisible chess game between her and the emperor, only he, a bystander, watched her quietly on the side, methodically, step by step, for her family, for her future, she never gave up and never missed.

"Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have always been difficult to achieve, and it is not easy for Fan Jun to do all this------ Li Zhong, you are also a very lucky person, you can see the real unknown side of Fan Jun. Wei Rui said gently, "It's getting late, you better go down and rest early." ”

Li Zhong nodded, he turned around, turned around with some hesitation, and asked puzzledly, "General, where did Fan Jun go?"

Wei Rui shook his head slightly, he couldn't answer this question, where Fan Jun was going, he wouldn't tell anyone, this was his last line of defense to protect his family, if he didn't tell others where he went, the emperor would chase and kill in the future, and there would be no way to catch up, this is where Ling Xiao is the most clever.

"Everything has passed, Li Zhong, for you and me, Fan Jun is just a name, you and I can only keep this name in the bottom of our hearts from today onwards, and remember not to say it. Wei Rui admonished.

"Alas------ listening to the general tonight, then we will never see him again, anyway, I remember him, as for whether we can see him again, it doesn't matter------ General, it's not too early, the last general will leave, you should rest early." ”

"Well, let's go down and rest early. ”

After Wei Rui waited for Li Zhong to leave, he did not feel the slightest tiredness, he slowly walked back to the study, looking at a guqin placed in the study, he didn't know if the guqin he gave to Ling Xiao, whether she brought it with him------ he didn't know why, he wanted to know about it, but she had left, she would never come back to this capital, if she didn't want to take things away, she was afraid that it would be priceless, and it would be just dung for her.

Wei Rui remembered that after the emperor appointed himself as the assassin of Yongzhou, after he read the file of Lord Zhang Yuanzhi, he felt extremely sad, regardless of his physical discomfort, he went to Yongzhou after a tiring journey, but the old disease recurred, just when he thought he was going to die, the woman in plain clothes suddenly appeared, Wei Rui remembered that when he first met Ling Xiao, he suddenly lost his usual good concentration, his Wei Rui's good concentration is extremely famous among the beams, and no one can easily touch his heart, but on that day, when Ling Xiao's slender hand untied his shirt and treated himself with acupuncture, his heart suddenly began to beat wildly, He didn't understand why he was upset because of the strange woman in front of him, he didn't want to cause more trouble when he was in private service, so he didn't tell Ling Xiao his true identity, in fact, in his heart afterwards, there was more or less some regret, he should have told the gentle woman in front of him at that time that he was the parent official of Yongzhou, and he was here for the affairs of Lord Zhang Yuanzhi------

In that case, maybe she could have talked more about things with herself, or maybe she would have stayed and looked after herself instead of rushing back and forth.

Wei Rui remembered that since then, although he and Ling Xiao had only had a few meetings, he always wanted to spend more time with Ling Xiao and listen to her say a few more words, but his thoughts had never been told to Ling Xiao, and there was never a second person in this world who could know about his admiration for Ling Xiao.

Wei Rui understands that in the game between Ling Xiao and the emperor, he is a chess piece that Ling Xiao can use, and his own chess piece, presumably Ling Xiao is the one that Ling Xiao is the most unwilling to use, but at the most critical time, she has to use it. When Wei Rui burned the letter in Ling Xiao, he knew that he had to go out, and he had to become the chess piece that she could use, because she gave up the entire country in exchange for her trust, and based on this alone, Wei Rui was willing to become her chess piece, and he was willing to do anything for her, even if it was to turn his face against the emperor and be an enemy of the emperor, he was also willing to do these things for her.

When Wei Rui thought of this, he couldn't help but be a little afraid of his own thoughts, if Ling Xiao really had the ambition to dominate the world, would he help her when he came to that time?

Wei Rui shook his head, he wanted to get these terrible thoughts out of his mind, because these thoughts were so terrible, he was afraid that he would think of these things, because once these things became true, he could do things that he couldn't even imagine.

Ling Xiao can guess all his thoughts, and Ling Xiao must be able to guess his own thoughts, but none of them will expose each other's thoughts, there are too many things in this world, which can be seen through and not explained, and the records in those history books are really true? Those historians heard and saw things, did they really happen? Wei Rui sighed secretly, there are too many things in this world that cannot be known to others, just like his current state of mind, which is also unknown to others. These things, in the end, will be buried in the ground forever with his death, and Ling Xiao's true identity will also be buried in the torrent of history, and no one will know it anymore.

Wei Rui sometimes really wants to write down her story, so that future generations can remember that there is such a strange woman in this troubled world, she has exhausted her life's energy for her relatives, and for her relatives, she does not hesitate to give up what she can have.

"Thousands of dollars are easy to get, but soulmates are hard to find------ Lingxiao, I regard you as a soulmate, but do you think ------ me the same way?" Wei Rui asked to himself.

No one answered his question, I am afraid that there will be no one in this world who can answer his question, Wei Rui smiled bitterly and shook his head, from tonight onwards his state of mind will be silent, he can finally calm his heart, read books, write, and do things he likes to do every day. It's just that there is no such strange woman in this world who can communicate with her heart.

"Ling Xiao ------," Wei Rui muttered, "Do you know that on the bridge, next to the reincarnation well, Fan Yuncheng ------is waiting for you." ”
