"Nothing happened to the Holy Witch, I'm fine. Wu Dongfang said with a smile.

"Holy Witch, something has happened to the Tu Clan. Ji Ruo said embarrassedly.

"Oh. Wu Dongfang pointed to the seat next to him, "Have you had breakfast?"

Ji Ruo looked at the seat on the side, and did not go over to sit down, she naturally knew that Wu Dongfang was angry in her heart, although she had guessed that Wu Dongfang would have this reaction before leaving, but after Wu Dongfang really showed indifference, she still felt very embarrassed.

"Is Ji Shaokang okay?" Wu Dongfang flipped through the bamboo slips sent by various tribes.

"It's not very good. Ji Ruo shook her head and said.

Wu Dongfang put down the bamboo and stood up, walked off the platform and pointed to the seat on the east side, "Sit, sit." ”

Ji Ruo walked over and sat down, a palace maid brought tea, Wu Dongfang picked up the teacup and said, "Even if I am not the Holy Witch of the Five Clans, we are still friends, I have no prejudice against you, and some things are not for you to do." ”

"Thank you for your understanding. Ji Ruo sighed, she was a very sloppy Xuanhuang Heavenly Master, and she was a commander of the light pole who was ordered in danger.

"If there is anything you need my help with, just ask, as long as it is your personal matter, I will do my best. Wu Dongfang looked at the teacup on Ji Ruo's side and motioned for her to drink tea.

Ji Ruo didn't pick up the teacup, Wu Dongfang's words made her happy and worried, happy that Wu Dongfang had already taken her as a friend, and worried that Wu Dongfang's implication was very obvious, he would not interfere in the affairs of the Turkish tribe.

After hesitating for a long time, Ji Ruo said, "Holy Witch, Emperor Xia did not intentionally expel you that day, but because of the persecution of that god. ”

"I know. Wu Dongfang nodded, from Ji Shaokang's point of view, he naturally hoped that the more helpers around him, the better, it was Li Mu and other gods who forced him to choose between the two sides.

"Holy witches are tolerant. Ji Ruo's heart suddenly lightened.

"I'm not tolerant, I just said I know, and I didn't say I'm not angry, those gods didn't force him to drive me away, but let him make a choice, between me and the gods, Ji Shaokang chose the latter," Wu Dongfang put down the teacup and smiled sideways, "Everyone has the right to choose, and everyone must also bear the consequences of their own choice, I don't know what kind of difficulties he is encountering at the moment, but no matter what kind of difficulties he encounters, he can only face them by himself, because this is caused by his own choice." ”

If Ji Ruo's face changed greatly when he heard this, Wu Dongfang's words were very clear and reasonable, which showed that he was extremely sober-minded, and the fact was just as Wu Dongfang said, since Ji Shaokang had made a choice, he should bear any consequences, and outsiders had no obligation to help him.

"You are a loyal minister, I admire your character and morality, and I also understand your situation and difficulties, but you also have to understand me, the four clans all know that Ji Shaokang has taken me away, if I go back to help him, what will Fei Xuan and the others think of me?" Wu Dongfang said in a harmonious voice, Ji Ruo and Ji Ke are both loyal ministers, Ji Ruo lived in the mountains with Ji Shaokang for many years, at that time there were two old heavenly masters, those two old heavenly masters had died in battle, and now she is the only one left to accompany Xi Shaokang, in addition to admiration, he always has a trace of sympathy for Xi Ruo in his heart, which is also the reason why he and Xi Ruo have a heart-to-heart relationship.

Wu Dongfang's words made Ji Ruo's eyes red, "Holy Witch, you are right, I also know that I shouldn't come, but I really have no choice, it's only been four days, the wizards and officials in the capital and the states have been killed by Yun Ping's people, and the soldiers are also trapped in the barracks by them, and the water and rice are not entered, and today is the third day." ”

"Those gods didn't come forward to deal with it?" Wu Dongfang asked, he naturally knew what Xi Ruo was worried about, not long after the peaceful liberation of Kyushu, the regime was already unstable, and it couldn't withstand the toss at all, as soon as the wizards and officials died, and the soldiers starved to death, the Xia Dynasty would be completely finished.

Ji Ruo shook her head, "They are just protecting Emperor Xia, and they have no time to take care of it." ”

"What do you want me to do?" Wu Dongfang asked, angry to angry, he didn't want to see Kyushu become a mess, the peaceful reunification of Kyushu was brought about by his hard work, full of his hard work.

If she didn't answer immediately, she was considering what kind of request she made that wouldn't make Wu Dongfang feel that she was out of proportion.

Dozens of seconds later, Ji Ruo sighed, "Stop Yunping and save those soldiers." ”

Wu Dongfang was noncommittal, and asked, "Did you come today on your own or Ji Shaokang?"

"I'm here myself," Ji Ruo said that it didn't feel appropriate here, and hurriedly added, "In the past few days, Emperor Xia has been worried day and night, and he must have regretted it very much, but he couldn't speak." ”

Wu Dongfang nodded slowly, "Everyone makes mistakes, although I am dissatisfied with Ji Shaokang, I will not be obsessed with a small belly, if he wants to invite me back, I will go back in front of you and the people of Kyushu." ”

"Holy Witch. Her eyes were red again, and she stood up straight and knelt down.

Wu Dongfang extended his aura to support her, "My words are not finished yet, I have a condition, if you want to invite me back, you must get rid of those ancient gods, if they don't leave, I won't go back." ”

Hearing this, Ji Ruo's face was embarrassed, and she tilted her head to look at Wu Dongfang. Wu Dongfang picked up the teacup and drank the tea, and did not look at Him.

After hesitating for a long time, Ji Ruo spoke again, "The Holy Witch has such a mind, it is indeed valuable, I will definitely convey what the Holy Witch said to Emperor Xia, and it is up to him to decide whether to live or die." ”

"Based on what you know about Ji Shaokang, what will he do?" Wu Dongfang asked, he didn't have much contact with Ji Shaokang, except for knowing that Ji Shaokang's nature was not bad, he didn't know anything else.

"It's hard to say. Ji Ruo shook his head slowly, "Emperor Xia is merciful and generous, and he remembers the old feelings, but he is good at planning and has a lot of judgment. ”

"I think so too. Wu Dongfang smiled, what Ji Ruo said was more tactful, in fact, what she wanted to say was that Ji Shaokang was a bit snobbish, and would weigh the pros and cons and gains and losses, which was more realistic.

"Holy Witch, what if Emperor Xia has the heart to send off guests, and the guests are stranded?" asked Xi Ruo.

"All he needs to do is make a decision, and he doesn't have to worry about anything else. Wu Dongfang extended the condensation, grabbed the soil and stone condensation positioning stone ball in the air, and handed it to Ji Ruo.

Ji Ruo hurriedly took it with both hands, although Wu Dongfang did not say it thoroughly, the implication was already obvious, if those ancient gods did not leave, he would come hard.

Ji Ruo took the positioning stone ball and said goodbye, Wu Dongfang personally sent it out, and Ji Ruotu left.

When the two talked before, Styx Moon had been dealing with official business in the side hall, and she listened to the conversation between the two for seven or eight minutes, after Ji Ruo left, Styx Moon walked out of the side hall, walked to the door of the main hall and waited for Wu Dongfang to approach, "Do you really want to go back?"

"Although he drove me away, I can't die without help. Wu Dongfang said that people have a certain innate nature, although he has done all the things of fighting and killing before, but he always has a compassionate feeling in his heart, which is especially obvious in dealing with cattle and finding the sea.

"Don't be overly optimistic, he probably won't pick you. Stygian said.

Wu Dongfang waved his hand, "If he made a decision before today, I would go back, and if it was beyond Zishi, I wouldn't have passed." ”

"Why didn't you tell Xuanhuang Heavenly Master this?" asked Stygian Moon.

Wu Dongfang shook his head, stepped into the hall, and did not answer the question of the Dark Moon, if he went back, he would definitely convey his meaning to Ji Shaokang as soon as possible, and he had enough time to think, if Ji Shaokang dragged on for too long, it meant that he didn't want to break with the gods, even if he broke with them in the end, it was because the situation was completely out of control, and he felt that his throne was threatened, so he had no choice but to ask him to go back and clean up the mess.

Through the length of time delay, it can be seen from the side whether Ji Shaokang is really remorseful, or if he really has no choice to do so, which is related to a question of sincerity.

And these words naturally can't be told to Ji Ruo, otherwise what you see is not the true side of Ji Shaokang.

After Wu Dongfang entered the hall, he found that the dark moon did not follow up, and when he looked back, he found that the dark moon was tilting his head to look east, Wu Dongfang turned around and went out, and found that the rice bucket was slowly coming from the east.

In the past few days, he has been getting along with the rice bucket day and night, and his consciousness has been running-in, and the telepathy between the two sides has been very strong at this time, and he felt it with his heart, and found that the rice bucket was full of sadness.

He had never found and sensed the sadness in the rice bucket, and when he had doubts in his heart, he strengthened his perception, and at this time the rice bucket had already stopped in front of him and looked up at him.

Heart-to-heart connection is a wonderful feeling, a silent communication, and the rice bucket is thinking at this time, 'I'm leaving, I'm very reluctant to let you go.'" ’

"Where are you going?" Wu Dongfang thought.

The mood of the rice bucket is real and ethereal, without any embellishment and cover-up, "I grew up, I don't like to live in the back mountain, I want to go back to the jungle where I live, when you need me, I will rush to you immediately." ”

"You're too young to go. Wu Dongfang thought.

The rice bucket twitched his nose, and the general meaning of the emotion was, "I miss my mother so much, and I want to go back and look for it." ”

"Your mother is gone. Wu Dongfang thought about the situation when the mother bear died, and the rice bucket could see the situation through the picture in his mind.

"Oh, it's really gone. Rice Bucket exudes disappointment, this emotion vaguely contains a little self-deception, in fact it has a vague impression of his mother's death, but this impression is not deep, very vague, and Rice Bucket does not want to believe that it is true.

"This is your home, we are your relatives, you live in the back mountain, and you are not allowed to go anywhere. Wu Dongfang thought.

"That's where the little bears live, and the big bears live in the mountains, and I've grown up, and the wild beasts in the mountains don't dare to mess with me. The rice bucket turned and walked east.

"What's wrong?" Stygian looked at the rice bucket suspiciously.

"This guy is running away from home. Wu Dongfang said with a smile, the rice bucket is not a human after all, its emotions are similar to human beings but not exactly the same, one moment it was still very sad, and the next moment it thought that the beasts in the mountains did not dare to provoke it, it was very excited, thinking about the Wuthering Mountains and forests, and being the king and hegemon.

Seeing that the Stygian Moon didn't understand, Wu Dongfang narrated the previous communication between the two in a verbal way, and the Stygian Moon nodded after listening, "It's up to it to decide, you have a heart-to-heart with it, and you can see if it's in danger at any time." ”

"No, it's too small. Wu Dongfang shook his head again and again.

"It's not small, more than 300 pounds, bigger than a black bear. Stygian said.

"I've got the final say. Wu Dongfang made the final decision, and instead strictly ordered the rice bucket to go back to the back mountain to stay.

The rice bucket went east, originally wanting to say goodbye to the prince, but sensing Wu Dongfang's order, although he was unhappy, he didn't continue to go to the east courtyard, and turned around and walked back halfway.

Wu Dongfang didn't do anything else that day, and every few minutes he would be distracted to perceive what the rice bucket was thinking, but the rice bucket had few distractions, and most of the time he didn't think about anything in his head.

As night fell, the food was served, and Wu Dongfang had just picked up the chopsticks when he sensed his own positioning from the direction of the summer capital.

"What's wrong?" asked Stygian.

"Ji Shaokang has made a decision, this guy has finally done the right thing, he allowed the gods to stay in the summer capital, and I have no reason to drive them away. Wu Dongfang stood up straight, quickly carrying his bow and arrows.

"I'm afraid they won't leave the summer capital. Stygian said.

"It's better not to go ......"
