Chapter 931 Extra Chapter: Xuan Yun 13
Xu Yunzhi's words had the air of flattery, but he didn't care about that; all he cared about was Ji Wenxuan's happiness.
Ji Wenxuan waved his hand, "Tolerance? No, I know very well that I'm using her."
Since we can't kill everyone from the second wife's family, let this person who also hates the second wife's family deal with them.
As Ji Wenxuan thought this, he took a sip of wine, and the burning sensation made him feel refreshed.
Xu Yunzhi just stared at him, unusually quiet.
After a while, Ji Wenxuan asked Xu Yunzhi, "It's been over a month, aren't you planning to go back?"
Xu Yunzhi continued to look at him without answering. Just when Ji Wenxuan thought the other party wouldn't speak again, Xu Yunzhi slowly said, "You want me to go back?"
He wanted him to go back, but of course he didn't want him to go back.
At least during this time, he won't be spending all his time training troops, but what can he say? That he doesn't actually want him to go back?
The ruler of a country stayed in this place for more than a month. How could he not have been able to find him?
"Come back or not, it's up to you."
Ji Wenxuan knew very well that no matter what answer he gave, it would be wrong. If he said he didn't want it, it would be as if Xu Yunzhi was deliberately abandoning the people. But if he said he did want it, it would be so hypocritical.
In the end, they could only give a half-answer, leaving the decision to Xu Yunzhi.
Xu Yunzhi smiled upon hearing this, "Return or not, it's up to you. Since that's the case, then I won't return."
He remained composed, showing no signs of being a monarch.
Ji Wenxuan was somewhat stunned by Xu Yunzhi's demeanor. Both of them would shudder when Xu Yunzhi faced him.
"In this world, there are actually people who become emperors like you."
Ji Wenxuan quickly turned his head away, trying to calm the abnormal emotions in his heart.
His panic did not escape Xu Yunzhi's eyes, and Xu Yunzhi's lips curved upwards as if he had eaten honey.
It seems that Wenxuan has also sensed something, but he just hasn't broken through the barrier yet.
"Wenxuan, you've decided. I'll abdicate the throne, and we'll settle our scores just like that, how about it?"
Xu Yunzhi asked.
Ji Wenxuan didn't quite understand what he meant. "What do you mean?"
"Wandering the world, like my brother and sister-in-law, living wherever I want, traversing the entire north and south of the country."
Xu Yunzhi had envied Yun Yichen since he was a child because he could travel around with a fake identity.
He could only obediently follow Xu Menglong's control, taking the path Xu had laid out for him step by step.
It is said that people of the same kind have different fates. He was imprisoned and controlled for many years, and what he envied most was the life of wandering the world and being unrestrained.
Xu Yunzhi's eyes shone with starlight, dazzlingly bright in the darkening sky.
Ji Wenxuan didn't want to stay here either, but as a descendant of the Ji family, he had the duty to defend the frontier. He wanted to share the burden with his elder brother and uphold his father's ideals.
If he leaves, what will happen to General Ji? The responsibility of the Ji family falls on his shoulders, and he has no choice but to stay here.
"Perhaps, this is our fate."
Ji Wenxuan eventually came to this conclusion, but what Xu Yunzhi least believed in was fate.
"No, we certainly won't be like this forever. In a few years, when everything is more mature, we will achieve our goals."
Xu Yunzhi spoke with absolute conviction, and Ji Wenxuan, looking into his shining eyes, unconsciously came to believe him as well.
The two woke up the next day and were helped together again.
Looking at the familiar scene, Xu Yunzhi touched his head again.
When Ji Wenxuan woke up, there was a naked person lying next to him. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was Xu Yunzhi.
Ji Wenxuan has recently accepted the fact that he is gay, but even so, he is still a little flustered.
Carefully crawling under the bed, Ji Wenxuan planned to run out of the room before Xu Yunzhi discovered him. However, before he could even stick one foot out, Xu Yunzhi suddenly rolled over.
Suddenly, Ji Wenxuan froze on the spot because Xu Yunzhi's movement caused him to slip and fall onto Xu Yunzhi.
Fortunately, Xu Yunzhi did not wake up. Ji Wenxuan patted his wildly beating chest and carefully moved out a little further.
Just when everyone thought they would be able to leave smoothly, Xu Yunzhi suddenly flipped over and pulled Ji Wenxuan back to where they were.
The two faced each other, only two centimeters apart. Seeing this, Ji Wenxuan's heart pounded even more wildly.
He remained in that position for a long time, so long that Ji Wenxuan lost track of how much time had passed before he carefully pulled his hand away and quickly stood up.
Once out of Xu Yunzhi's reach, Ji Wenxuan slipped out of the room like a thief.
He thought that no one would know about this matter this morning, but who would have thought that Xu Yunzhi, the person involved, would slowly open his eyes as he left.
"My lord, I'm afraid General Ji is unaware of your true feelings."
A sudden voice rang out, but Xu Yunzhi was not angry.
"He'll find out soon enough."
Xu Yunzhi spoke with great confidence, as if he had already made some preparations.
Seeing his reaction, the guards silently shut their mouths and said no more.
Time slipped by quietly, and finally the day arrived to send Youlan away.
Xu Yunzhi arrived at the General's Mansion early. For Youlan's safety along the way, Ji Wenxuan unusually assigned one of his personal teams to escort her.
Of course, the reason why she wasn't treated the same as the steward before, but instead accompanied the army, was because Youlan didn't return to the capital from the border town.
The Ji family had an ancestral rule that their descendants were not allowed to take prostitutes as concubines. The old general not only violated the ancestral rule back then, but also almost ruined his entire family.
If people were to find out that the Ji family's daughter had ended up on the streets as a courtesan in a brothel, wouldn't that make them all a laughingstock?
"Gentlemen, I'll take my leave now. Thank you both for taking care of me these past few days."
As Youlan spoke, she clasped her hands in a fist salute. Her attire, which exuded a somewhat dashing air, was quite different from when she was first seen.
"You're too kind, Miss Youlan. The journey ahead is long and arduous; please take care of yourself."
Xu Yunzhi offered his blessings, and then Ji Wenxuan stepped forward.
"The capital is a melting pot of hidden talents, and as His Majesty's maternal grandfather's family, the General's Mansion naturally attracts a lot of attention. No one knows what the future holds, but you must remember to do less and say less to avoid making mistakes."
Ji Wenxuan spoke to the child with the caution and care of an elder.
Youlan looked at Ji Wenxuan, and her eyes suddenly reddened.
Regardless of whether Ji Wenxuan's instructions moved him, Youlan was also reluctant to leave after taking care of him during this period.
