Xu Tianze originally thought that he was attacked, but when he heard that it was Song Yu, he breathed a sigh of relief, because he knew that since he was going back to Shangjing City, he would have to confront Song Yu sooner or later.
Since he was mentally prepared, he was not too panicked when he found out that the person coming was Song Yu.
"Let's go over there. Since he is at Shili Pavilion, we have to meet him anyway." Xu Tianze lowered the curtain and glanced at Xichen.
After receiving the message, Xichen slowly put the knife back under the seat, acting as if nothing had happened.
"I thought you would turn around and leave." Song Yu was still a little excited when he saw Xu Tianze standing in front of him.
After all, he and Xu Tianze had already fallen out. If it were in the past, based on Xu Tianze's personality, he would definitely stay away from him, and would never stand in front of him so openly like now.
It seems that his Aze has made a lot of progress in areas that he doesn't know about.
"There's nothing to hide. Are you here to kill me?" Xu Tianze didn't care about Song Yu's sigh at all. As usual, he stepped directly into Shili Pavilion and exposed his back to Song Yu.
His action made the three Snow Guards silently nervous, and even their bodies tensed up unconsciously. After all, if Song Yu suddenly attacked and hurt someone while standing like this, they might not be able to rescue him in time.
It was impossible for their master to react. It could be said that Xu Tianze's current actions seemed like he was deliberately seeking death.
Song Yu was stunned when he heard this, then he smiled and shook his head, then followed Xu Tianze into the pavilion.
He looked at Xu Tianze, who was sitting in the pavilion, pouring himself a glass of wine, and said inexplicably: "If I really came here to kill Aze, what would Aze do?"
Upon hearing this, Xichen secretly put his hands into his sleeves and stared at Song Yu. If Song Yu made any unusual movement, he would jump up and give Xu Tianze time to react.
Dai Nian sensed a sense of crisis from Xichen. He slowly placed his hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist and stared at Xichen closely.
Qing Yuan and Xue Wei took a step sideways and stood together on Xi Chen's side, blocking Dai Nian's sight. Both of them were tense.
The surrounding soldiers seemed to sense the unusual atmosphere and put their hands on their waists, ready to receive orders at any time.
For a moment, the Shili Pavilion had a solemn atmosphere, but what was inconsistent with this solemnity was the indifferent attitude of the parties involved.
Xu Tianze glanced around nonchalantly, then drank the wine in his glass: "Song Yu, you are still as good at guessing people's minds as ever."
"If you want to avenge your father, come ahead. I don't care how long I can live now."
Song Yu wanted to look Xu Tianze in the eye, but Xu Tianze's eyes were full of calmness, as if whether Song Yu killed him or not had nothing to do with him.
In just a moment, Song Yu was defeated. He drank a glass of wine with a wry smile and said, "Aze, since you know I won't do it at all, why are you teasing me here?"
"I'm not joking, I just don't care about this life at all. If you want to take it, just take it." Xu Tianze shook his head and disagreed with Song Yu's statement.
In his opinion, it was just a matter of paying with one's life. If he was Song Zhenjiang's biological son, then at the very least he would be despised by others. The reputation of a patricide would constantly make people poke him in the back.
Since Song Yu was an adopted son, he would naturally have some concerns and would not dare to lay a hand on his biological son. Even if he used filial piety as an excuse, it would still be unreasonable.
But now the truth is clear. He is not Song Zhenjiang's biological son, but just a pawn in Song Zhenjiang's plan. Song Yu is Song Zhenjiang's biological son, so Song Yu has every right to kill him.
When this news spread, it brought good reputation, showing that Song Yu's filial piety was evident to heaven and earth.
"My father knew this day would come a long time ago, so he didn't blame you at all, and he didn't allow me to take revenge and become someone else's knife." Song Yu smiled self-deprecatingly.
He didn't know when his life became a mess, and even if he wanted to correct it, he had no chance. Now, even wanting to speak his mind to Xu Tianze had become a luxury.
Xu Tianze looked up at Song Yu, and the flash of guilt deep in his heart flashed in his eyes.
Sometimes he would wonder, if he had not met Song Yu in the beginning, would Song Yu not have become part of the scheme.
If he had never liked Song Yu, would Jiang Xue and Song Yu be happy instead of being alone now?
If he had not killed Song Zhenjiang when he first learned the truth, would the humble gentleman in his impression still be so high-spirited?
Unfortunately, no matter how many assumptions he made, there was no way to regret. Everything in the past had become a fact, and he no longer had the opportunity to change it.
"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave." Xu Tianze sighed deeply in his heart, then stood up and prepared to leave.
"Aze, I believe that along the way, someone has asked you whether you regret it, whether it is worth it, and whether you are willing to accept it." Song Yu's eyes were a little blurred, but his mind was clear.
"I won't ask about these. I just want to ask if it's okay not to go back to the capital."
"In childhood, I was ignorant; in youth, I fought for the world; in youth, I showed my love. Now, my youth has passed, and I no longer have the will to fight." Song Yu laughed self-deprecatingly and poured himself another glass of wine. "But if you don't come back, I will send you away even if it costs me my life."
At that time, his Aze did whatever he wanted. He had no so-called responsibilities and no conspiracies. He was just an ordinary, free man.
The dandelion wants to fly away with the wind, but if there is no breeze willing to lend it its strength, then it is willing to be the breeze that lends it strength.
Xu Tianze had a sincere smile on his lips, but when his eyes fell on the shadows in the darkness in the distance, the smile completely disappeared.
"Since you don't want to fight anymore, then leave Shangjing City. This will give you a chance to relax for the rest of your life." Xu Tianze said indifferently, walked out of Shili Pavilion, got on a carriage and headed towards Shangjing City.
"You are still as cold as ever. It's a pity that you have a sharp tongue but a soft heart." Song Yu curled his lips, then hugged the wine jug and started drinking.
Dai Nian stood beside Song Yu, guarding him silently. When Song Yu fell drunk on the stone table, he helped Song Yu into the carriage to rest, and then he left.
As soon as Song Yu got into the carriage, he came to his senses. He looked at the note in his hand, and his red eyes became a little moist again. After a long time, he let Dai Nian drive the carriage away.
And the direction happened to be the same as the way Xu Tianze came.
