Chapter 3181: The boat has passed away, and the rest of my life is spent on the rivers and seas
At this moment, both of them saw a familiar tall figure walking over. When they turned around, they saw that it was Xu Shifeng who was escorting the emperor back to Beijing this time.
His face, as calm and composed as ever, was expressionless.
He was like this in the past, but this time, especially after what happened with Xu Shizong, Nan Yan felt that Xu Shifeng's temperament had become more introverted. When talking to him, not only could she not tell his emotions, she couldn't even feel any warmth in his heart.
The only thing that showed some fluctuation was his eyes at the moment.
He trembled slightly in front of Ran Xiaoyu.
Nan Yan might not have understood it very well in the past, but at this moment, she suddenly got it as if she had a flash of inspiration.
She smiled and said, "I'll go over to see the emperor."
After saying that, he turned and walked away.
Xu Shifeng bowed his head and nodded to the departing Imperial Concubine, then looked at Ran Xiaoyu, whose expression was still a little puzzled, and said softly, "Miss Xiaoyu, you are going on a long journey this time. I'm afraid we won't be able to meet again for a long time."
Ran Xiaoyu blinked and looked at him.
Then he said, "I heard that General Xu had made a great contribution this time, but I haven't had the chance to congratulate you."
Xu Shifeng smiled bitterly: "Why should I be happy?"
Ran Xiaoyu said: "No matter what, the matter has been resolved. The general's future is bright, and I am happy for him."
Xu Shifeng looked at her for a moment and said, "I'm worried about Miss Xiaoyu. I don't know how many ups and downs there have been on this journey. You've already been through so much. You should find a peaceful place to enjoy your life."
Ran Xiaoyu said: "There are too many people enjoying themselves. I still like to go out and walk around more and see more."
Xu Shifeng looked at her for a while.
At this time, if Ran Xiaoyu still couldn't see what he was thinking, either she was stupid or she was really avoiding him on purpose. Xu Shifeng himself understood that at this point, it would be pointless to talk about it. What's more, no matter whether it was Ran Xiaoyu's past or future, he would definitely not leave any trace in it.
It would be better to leave it at that.
So he said, "I admire the girl's character."
“…”
"But, after the girl left, there is one less person with such a temper in the world."
Ran Xiaoyu looked at him quietly for a while, then said seriously, "There will always be one."
Xu Shifeng looked at her, and finally smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, the world is so big, there will always be something."
Just as the two of them were smiling at each other, Ye Zheng had already finished talking to Zhu Feng. He walked over and asked with a smile, "What are you talking about?"
Xu Shifeng was also very calm when he saw him. He smiled and said, "I was just about to talk about you."
"Oh? What?"
"Ye Zheng, you and I are old acquaintances, but I never thought you would have such a good fate today. Now that you're gone, when will you be able to come back?"
Ye Zheng laughed and said, "General, it's you who are leaving with the emperor today, not us. Why are you saying this as if you're seeing us off?"
Xu Shifeng said: "Isn't it the same?"
“…”
"After all, you're gone, far away, and I don't know when you'll come back."
Ye Zheng thought for a moment and said, "I'll come back once I figure it out."
Xu Shifeng said: "What if you can't figure it out?"
Ye Zheng said: "My little boat has gone from here, and I will spend the rest of my life on the rivers and seas. As long as I have someone by my side, it won't be a loss."
This statement was somewhat like Ye Zheng's. Xu Shifeng couldn't help but shake his head after hearing it, and then said: "Well, I advise you to think it through as soon as possible. If nothing else, no matter how big the river or sea is, it can't withstand your tossing and turning."
Ye Zheng and he laughed.
It was not until this time that Ye Zheng felt that the invisible rock that had been weighing on his heart all these days seemed to have loosened a little.
Just as the two were chatting and laughing, a familiar figure walked up to them.
It's He Yi.
It was a rare occasion that he was not wearing his official uniform. Instead, he was wearing a gray-black robe, which looked a bit like the Taoist robe he wore when he became a monk. The river breeze blew his robes in the wind, making him look like he was about to ascend to heaven at any moment.
As soon as he saw him, Ye Zheng's expression became more lively.
He laughed and said, "Ox Nose, I didn't expect you to come out alive."
He Yi said: "Thanks to you."
"How is it thanks to me?"
"If I hadn't gotten your antidote from Zhu Chengjin, the emperor wouldn't have spared me so easily. Tell me, if it wasn't you, then whose blessing was it?"
“…”
"If it were anyone else, His Majesty wouldn't be so concerned."
Hearing this, Ye Zheng's smiling face turned gloomy again.
He subconsciously looked back and saw Zhu Feng standing on the other side of the dock, talking to the imperial concubine with his head down. Perhaps it was because it was still dark and the light was dim, but he seemed to have red eyes. In fact, when the two of them were talking just now, Ye Zheng did hear a strong nasal tone in his words at the end.
While the imperial concubine was whispering something, she reached out and gently stroked his arm up and down.
Like coaxing a child.
Finally, Zhu Feng felt something was wrong and gently patted the imperial concubine's hand, and the imperial concubine smiled and retracted her hand.
The smile on Ye Zheng's face became a little forced. He turned around and looked at him, saying, "You're still talking about this at this time. Is it interesting?"
He Yi said calmly, "I know you have made up your mind. It's useless to say anything more. I just want to say something to you before we part."
Ye Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at him for a while.
He said with a smile: "Tell me, I'll see what you can say."
He Yi said: "Nothing is impossible to overcome."
Upon hearing this, Ye Zheng's face suddenly darkened again, as if he had been hit hard in the chest by an invisible fist. After a long silence, he said, "Why are you telling me this?"
He Yi said: "I just want to tell you that there is nothing in this world that cannot be overcome. The things that cannot be overcome are actually people who are unwilling to let go of themselves."
“…”
“If you open your heart, the world will be wide open. As long as you are willing to forgive yourself and others, many things will pass.”
“…”
Ye Zheng didn't say anything, just lowered his head and remained silent.
After a long moment, he finally looked up at He Yi, forcing a small smile on his face. He said, "You're telling me this? Don't you have some unresolved issues on your shoulders?"
He Yi's expression suddenly changed.
Ran Xiaoyu also looked up at him.
Ye Zheng looked at him and said solemnly, "I know you must be hiding something from the Emperor. I'm afraid the Emperor knows it all too well."
“…”
"You said there's nothing that can't be forgiven, so when do you plan to get over the thing you've been hiding from him?"
