No.5 Gongzhong

In the cave, the two sat in front of the campfire.

Baili Zhiqiu looked at the red fire. "How did Yiye know this place?"

"I'm afraid that Young Master Qiu will encounter danger when he comes here, so I want to find a safe place for you to hide." Duan Ganyiye lowered his head.

Hearing the heart-warming words, Baili Zhiqiu's eyes glistened with tears, and he said coldly: "You don't have to think about me everywhere."

Duan Ganyiye picked up the arrow on the ground and brought it to his eyes. "Master Qiu, don't you find this very familiar?"

He took a closer look and saw that the red mark on the arrow was very conspicuous. He exclaimed: "Could it be that people from the Baili family are chasing us? No, no, no way!"

Duan Ganyiye threw the arrow aside casually, knelt down on his knees and looked at him with pity. "Master Qiu, why are you still so confused now? For the Baili family, those who are worthless are not eligible to live."

"Yiye, I believe you, you are innocent. You stay here, I will ask my father not to..."

Duan Ganyiye straightened up, grabbed him who was about to get up, his eyes turned red instantly, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Master Qiu, promise me, don't, don't beg that person, never beg him! "

Seeing the red eyes, Baili Zhiqiu was stunned, and opened his mouth slowly: "Yiye, Father, he..."

"The beetles are broken, how can Chang'an be safe? The Baili family privately builds weapons in the name of protecting the country, and enlists celebrities for their own use. Is it really worthy of Master Qiu's protection?"

"No, the Baili family did this for..."

Duan Ganyiye couldn't help but move his body, opened his arms, hugged him with all his strength, and whispered sadly: "Master Qiu, the person they are going to deal with is not me, but you."

His heart was startled, and his eyes became dull. "Yiye, what are you talking about?"

Duan Ganyiye continued to whisper: "To this day, I still remember the way you wept when you first saw me. The years of your company are limited, but the pain that comes with it is endless."

The more Baili Zhiqiu listened, the more confused he became. "Yiye, what do you mean by pain?"

Duan Ganyiye let go of the person in his arms, looking at him in grief. "Life is floating, sorrow comes from me, and pain also comes from me. The Xuan family took me in, and the Xuan family cultivated me. Master Xuan recommended me to be the secret envoy of the imperial court, and persuaded the emperor to entrust me with important tasks. We cannot live up to his painstaking efforts."

"Impossible, haven't the Xuan family and the Baili family always been on good terms?" Baili Zhiqiu kept shaking his head, pondered for a moment, and was instantly surrounded by fear. My mother eloped, sent someone to take me back to the Xuan family, and even sent me to Baili's house to participate in the selection of the young master, just to..."

"Master Qiu, Mr. Xuan is a good official for the country and the people."

"Can a good official take advantage of people? Clique disputes have existed since ancient times, and the winner often just claims to be righteous." Baili Zhiqiu pressed his shoulders hard, and asked angrily: "Yiye, could it be yours?" The important task is to wait for the opportunity to get rid of the Baili family in one fell swoop? You say some unwarranted crimes, and you say that the person they want to kill is me, just to discredit the Baili family, so that I can help you?"

"No, my important task is to protect you. I don't want you to become anyone's pawn. I won't allow the Baili family, the Xuan family, even the imperial court. I'm afraid to see you looking desperate and lonely." Duan Ganyiye I lowered my head, prostrated myself on the ground, and said frankly: "Master Qiu, I sincerely confess to you that even if you hate me in the future and don't want to see me again, I won't hold any resentment."

I was deeply moved by the affection of the person in front of me, but seeing him like this, Baili Zhiqiu couldn't laugh or cry, so he let out a long sigh of relief, and said with emotion: "I thought we would have a tacit understanding when we get along day and night. Really, I am destined to die." Have you been lonely for half a lifetime?" Hooking his chin, he lifted it up slowly, and said in a slow and soft voice: "Yiye, I don't want to carry the burden anymore, I want to start a stable life with you, away from the competition for fame and fortune I woke up, and I finally knew that in this bustling world, the only person I would like to have and cherish is you."
