"Xiao Yuqi, I haven't seen you for a few years. How did you become like this?"
Husile seemed to find it difficult to accept Xiao Yuqi's transformation.
In the past, Xiao Yuqi always liked to follow Duan Hengzhi, listen to his opinions, and discuss decisions with him.
But he also knew his limits and still kept a normal distance from him.
Instead of like it is now.
Either touch the face or hug!
Who did you learn this from?
Husile pushed him away in disgust.
"Could it be that you really have some improper thoughts about me as that girl said?"
Just thinking about this, Husile felt a chill.
...
...
"Although I have not married and do not have a lover, I can be absolutely sure that I... don't like men!"
The more he spoke, the harder it became.
The look in his eyes when he looked at Xiao Yuqi became more and more complicated.
Xiao Yuqi pushed him away.
"I already have a family, understand?"
Xiao Yuqi straightened his clothes and sat down on the ground.
The firewood pile on the shore was crackling with sparks.
He threw the firewood at hand into the fire one by one. The flames jumped, illuminating his face.
At that moment, Husile seemed to sense Xiao Yuqi's loneliness.
How can I not be lonely?
No one understands better than him how serious Tianyu’s problems are.
This may be one of the reasons why he faked his own death and left Tianyu without any regrets.
"Hengzhi, have you really never thought about coming back to me?"
Xiao Yuqi raised his head, and waited stubbornly for an answer through the flickering candlelight.
Husile lowered his head and laughed at himself.
He was wearing Beihu costumes, had his hair in a Beihu bun, and wore Hu boots inlaid with Beihu's unique turquoise.
He smells like grass, and except for his face, he doesn't look like a Tianyu person at all.
"Dingkun, I can't go back."
He sighed softly, crossed his legs, and sat next to Xiao Yuqi.
The night is as deep as water, and the slightly cool temperature makes people feel like they are in a pool of water, without any warmth.
Expected answer.
Xiao Yuqi understood.
"So, tell me, what's going on with your face?"
Why is it that both the face and the voice are so different from when he was Duan Heng?
Husile was a little confused.
He had already given Xiao Yuqi a dose of water from the Yunjiang River.
Let’s go on…
Husile was really afraid that he would not be able to see the sunrise tomorrow morning.
"I don't want to think about those things at all. Why are you forcing me to think about them again?"
He looked at the mountains ahead. If he crossed them, he would reach Jian'an.
"Dingkun, after entering Jian'an City, we are no longer friends, but enemies!"
They stared at each other in the firelight.
That glance seemed to contain thousands of words.
There are many things, it's time to understand them.
Xiao Yuqi replied calmly: "Okay."
The rich aroma of instant noodles wafted over, and Chen Gang brought two bowls of hot noodles.
"Your Majesty, eat noodles."
He smiled broadly when he looked at Xiao Yuqi.
When facing Husile, he didn't have a good expression at all.
"eat."
Husile: “…”
If he pushes the bowl any further, it will hit his face.
Too much!
Xiao Yuqi lowered his head and hid his smile.
Even the bright moon in the sky seemed to be laughing at their childishness.
When it's time to relax, then relax. Once you enter the heavy city gate hidden in the mountains ahead, you won't be able to relax for a long time!
Time is the most unkind guy.
The more people want it to run slower, the more naughty it becomes, and the faster it runs, making it impossible to catch even its tail.
A large number of troops entered Jian'an City.
Xiao Yuqi could clearly feel that the current Jian'an City was different from before he left.
The doors of thousands of households were closed.
The once bustling market, with peddlers doing various business, teahouses, taverns, grain merchants and cloth shops, all places were now empty.
At first glance, Jian'an City looked like an empty city with its deserted streets.
"What's going on?"
Not only Chen Gang was puzzled, but even Husile was a little confused.
"Chen Gang, can you send a team to check out the current situation in the palace?"
"yes."
Chen Gang received the order, but before he could leave, a group of people came in front of them.
The leader was the young master of the Duke of Ru’s Mansion, Dong Shi’an.
He was wearing a red dragon robe, a golden crown on his hair, and riding a maroon Arabian horse.
Bringing a large group of private soldiers, he openly blocked Xiao Yuqi's way.
"Your Majesty, please return to the palace. We, the ministers, have come to greet you personally on the orders of the Queen Mother. Your Majesty, please come in!"
He didn't even dismount.
The contempt was evident.
Chen Gang was angry.
"How dare you not show respect to His Majesty?"
"What are you saying, Commander Chen? Didn't you not perform any formalities when you met this prince?"
Because of the incident in Zhaoyang, Cheng Shian was already dissatisfied with Xiao Yuqi.
Anyone who is not blind can see clearly who is behind the Duke of Ru’s Mansion.
Xiao Yuqi snorted coldly.
"It's just a Ruguo Mansion, it's not my turn to take action personally."
Xiao Yuqi sneered.
"Someone, get the gun."
How could Xiao Yuqi not have made any preparations when returning to Jian'an City in such a hurry?
He just wanted to see the expressions of despair on the faces of those rebels when they thought they had won the victory, falling from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley in an instant.
Watching them in pain and struggling, Xiao Yuqi felt only joy in his heart.
If a country's pests are allowed to exist for one day, they will be a great threat to the country and the people.
Suddenly, many people in uniform grey clothes appeared on the empty street.
They all wore the same mask on their faces.
A huge group of people blocked all the exits of the area.
The leader is the official manager of Tianji Tower, Yu Mantang, Manager Yu.
Code name: Yuheng.
He looked extremely wealthy, and was dressed in clothes made of fine brocade, as if he was afraid that others would not see that he was wealthy. He had a large gold ingot crown on his head, a double chin, and a cheerful look. He looked gentle and harmless, like a Maitreya Buddha.
The young men from aristocratic families, led by Cheng Shian, couldn't help but turn pale when they saw Yu Mantang.
The hand holding the reins clenched subconsciously, and his throat suddenly became a little dry.
"Manager Yu, the people should not fight against the officials. You still have to stay in Jian'an City in the future. Are you sure you want to cause trouble for us at this time?"
Yu Mantang took a step forward happily.
From a distance, it looks like one person can defeat a thousand enemies.
"My Lord, although it is said that the people should not fight against the officials, it is only natural to pay back debts. You owe me money, so even if I come to you in front of your father and the regent, it is reasonable for me to cause trouble for you."
The smile on his face grew even wider.
"It is said that a chance encounter is worse than a planned meeting. Since we just happened to meet today, my Lord, why don't you pay me back the money you owe me today!"
