Although he was already immune and used to it, when he heard his name, the chopsticks in Lu Xinyi's hand almost fell to the ground.
Ruan Er hurriedly asked with concern: "Mrs. Lu, are you okay? Do you know this person named Zijing?"
Scenes of past events echoed in front of me, just like what happened yesterday, When she looked up at Ruan Er again, the fuzzy face of the little fox in her mind overlapped with that of the young man, and she couldn't help but get tears in her eyes.
She murmured: "More than just knowing him, he is also the person closest to me. However, I'm afraid I have to break my promise to help you find him."
Xiao Cong sighed. , why: "Master Zijing has been dead for many years."
After hearing this, Ruan Er felt sad for a while, and the dining table fell to freezing point for a moment. Then Ruan Er said:
"Mrs. Lu, can you tell me how he died?"
Lu Xinyi did not want to mention that sad incident. After Xiao Cong asked for permission, he told Ruan Er about the past incident. After that, Lu Xinyi added:
"I have always been strange , why didn’t I remember him? I later found out that it was because of this that he gave up his spiritual foundation to save me, and that was why he lost all his cultivation and finally died at the hands of the mountain spirit.”
Ruan Er looked at Lu Xinyi and saw that her face was ashen. He also understood in his heart her indifferent mood towards poverty and happiness at this time, and could not help but feel compassion, saying:
"Mrs. Lu, there is no need to blame yourself. Since you have identified him as the closest person, he must have already identified you as the closest person. I think that after people have a thought and a belief in their hearts, Only then can we truly feel the existence of life. Mr. Zijing’s life in this world is not in vain, he is happy and worthy!”
After saying this, he hesitated to speak, but finally made up his mind! Determination, whispered but firmly : "If it were me, I would do the same."
After hearing this, Lu Xinyi felt much relieved and received a lot of comfort. She forced a smile and said to Li Shubai:
< br>"You guys, stop running around and help Ruan Er choose a weapon. You are such an adult, how can you be so stingy! Besides, we haven't seen each other for so many years, so we should stay 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 either. Let me let Xiao Cong be your master first. Her human skills are very solid. When you learn her skills, I will help you rebuild your spiritual foundation." Ji, see if you can continue your practice.”
Ruan Er was immediately excited. He stood up and stood in the middle of the room, bowing deeply to Lu Xinyi and Xiao Cong, but he was not satisfied yet. Then he knelt down with a plop and knelt down three times. He raised his head and called Master before giving up.
After a while, Lu Xinyi ordered someone to prepare several jars of good wine and bring them to the table. They served the dishes and drank from afternoon to evening.
As the night fell, Li Shubai walked out of the door casually carrying a wine bottle. Inside, Xiao Cong and Ruan Er were still discussing and exchanging Kung Fu skills. He saw Lu Xinyi standing alone under the moon, with a bleak figure. Lonely, he couldn't help but walked behind him and asked:
"Why does the princess have such ulterior motives in such a beautiful time?"
Lu Xinyi looked back at him, also holding a bottle of wine in his hand, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for many years, but you are growing very fast!" Li Shubai stuck out his tongue: "What's the use of being fast? I think Tu Shansong was like me back then. When I was young, I had already entered the princess's house! When I was young, I wanted to be a prince-in-law, but now I am still an old bachelor!"
The moonlight is slightly cool, the surrounding fields are full of the fragrance of rice, and there are faint sounds of cicadas and frogs. Beyond the wildness in the lonely depths, in the reeds, there are more There are countless fireflies, the stream is deep and shallow, sprinkled with a layer of sparkling moonlight, and the breeze blows by the ears, seeming to tell endless longing and tenderness.
Lu Xinyi smiled and said: "You came to me and hesitated several times. I'm afraid you want to ask me why I have been avoiding Tu Shansong for so many years!"
Li Shubai drank. Kuchijiu: “Originally, I shouldn’t have interfered with your affairs. I'm too lazy to care. Ever since I came out of Qingqiu, I haven't thought about going back! He failed to get his wish.
But you. Master, he calculated step after step, took step after step. Originally, you were in his trap without leaving any stone unturned, but I didn’t expect you to escape as well. Why did you? "
Lu Xinyi raised her head and took a big sip of wine. Her eyes were bright and dim. She chuckled and said:
"After Liu Zhang died, I once thought that the only person I could rely on in the world was, He was the only one who Tu Shansong. So I wished I could fly to him right then and there, I wished I could leave everything behind and go see him, but Liu Zhang still left me a letter.
That was a letter written by my father. He didn’t say anything else in the letter. He was just talking about his mistakes and his incompetence, which caused the displacement of countless people in Jingguo. , the family was broken up and everyone died.
He writes so realistically that it makes people cry. The second page of the letter is a letter between Liu Zhang and Chu State. The letter states that once Liu Zhang dies, Chu State will come to Huan Chushan and take away the last of these people directly. They will replace Liu Zhang with another person, but they will not change their plans. ”
Li Shubai looked at her with a slightly moved expression: "So, you are protecting the people of Jing State in order to fulfill Emperor Jing's last wish? You know that you are the only one who can protect them now, so you would rather take them to this deep mountain and old forest. "
Lu Xinyi nodded and said: "I know that Song is smart and has high aspirations. I can't trap him here for my own ideas. What's more, he doesn't either. I can agree! Therefore, I kept my name anonymous and refused to reveal Yan Yu’s father’s name, in order to prevent him from having too much burden.”
When Li Shubai heard this, he felt respectful and raised his glass. , facing the moon, facing Lu Xinyi, drank it all in one gulp, and said:
"Sister Lu, for this cup, I respect you for the people of Jingguo in the world!"
The two looked at each other and smiled. , have a drink.
Immediately, Li Shubai said: "But there is no need to separate this matter. As far as I know, the old fox has been very sad in the past few years.
He has planned everything in the world, and now he has control The food lifeblood of the Yue Kingdom, and using the Yue Kingdom to involve the Chu Kingdom, it can be said that both countries are under his control. , he is no longer the Tu Shansong he used to be.
But he is at the top of his power, with all his relatives and friends gone. To be honest, if I were him, I would feel the same. Life is boring.”
