How to work

Misfortunes followed one after another, and Shen Wansha felt a little dizzy from the hit. He subconsciously let go of He Lianyu's sleeve and walked forward—Xiao Lizi was injured and crying, he had to go and see!

He Lianyu hugged her at the waist.

"Let go..." Shen Wansha murmured, his eyes hurt from the blood on Lu Li's body, and his heart was clenched tightly, "Let me go!"

He Lianyu sighed softly, "I'll take you there, but don't make any noise, okay? They're arguing..."

Shen Wansha's mind was completely numb, he didn't hear the hidden meaning in He Lianyu's words, he only knew that He Lian agreed and walked forward immediately.He just wants to see Lu Li, as long as Lu Li is okay...

As early as when the intruders were repelled, Zhao Zhu ordered the government soldiers to retreat.He Lianyu helped to watch with Hong You. In a short period of time, all the government soldiers had retreated, and the secret guard team not only quickly cleaned up the corpses on the ground, but also cleaned up the entire street.

On the busiest street in the east of Xijing, there is no one who is irrelevant now, even the windows facing the street are tightly closed, not to mention loud noises, even the sound of breathing is cautious.

Under the blazing sun, Lu Li's eyes seemed to have been washed by water, just like when they first met in the snow, they were clean, pure, and crystal clear.

The difference is that at this moment, the raging fire is burning in these pupils.

Zhao Zhu liked to read miscellaneous books in his early years, and some strange stories always mentioned the invisible flames in the world, fire in water, and fire in ice.Obviously water and fire are incompatible, but these flames can burn in water and ice, silently, without fear, even if there is only a little bit, once ignited, it will exist forever, and nothing can be extinguished...

At this moment, Lu Li was standing opposite him, with raised brows, blushing eyes, tightly pursed lips, blood on the lips...every part, every subtle expression was full of deep sadness and disappointment.The blazing flame was like the fire in the water, taking root in the bottom of his eyes.His eyes were still as clear and clean as ever, because the anger was more alive, but this fire... could never be extinguished.

Unspeakable fear gripped Zhao Zhu's heart, and a voice in his heart screamed to remind him that he had to do something, otherwise he would lose Lu Li!Lu Li will never forgive him!

He made Lu Li so sad, Lu Li blamed him, hated him, shouldn't he?

What is his quibble?If you do something wrong, you should bear the consequences, the fate of sophistry... Isn't he the best?

The way to build an army is right is right, wrong is wrong, no matter what the result is, what should be praised should be praised, and what should be punished should be punished.

He doesn't understand everything!

Zhao Zhu clenched his hands into fists, lowered his head, and shouted loudly, "I was wrong!"

"It's my fault, I shouldn't hide my identity from you!"

For the first time, for the first time in my life, I bowed my head and admitted my mistake.

He didn't admit his mistake when he killed his clan brother when he was young; he didn't admit his mistake when he was suppressed by his father and banned him from the imperial city;

Because everything is forced by the situation, he never regrets any decision he made!He did everything he could and should do, and he deserved it!

But this time, it was indeed wrong to treat Lu Li...

Lu Li is the person he wants to work with for the rest of his life, and he shouldn't be treated like this. If it were Lu Li, it would be kindness not to kill himself!

The impression King Ping gave to the outside world was that he was strong, cold, and superior. He would do whatever he wanted, except that he couldn't apologize!

It is conceivable how shocked the people who saw this scene were.

Lu Li laughed, with a sarcasm in his voice, "Should Xiaomin feel honored, His Highness Prince Ping?"

"I shouldn't have kept my identity from you." Zhao Zhu stared closely at Lu Li, took a step forward, his brows were deep and his eyes were firm, "I was wrong. But you should know my heart for you."

Zhao Zhu was wearing a python blue satin martial robe today, which was slightly close-fitting and easy to move.Lu Li was used to seeing it before, and didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but when he saw it today, he found that everything was different.

The material of the clothes is rich in texture, and there is a faint luster in the sun; the shoulders, back, lapels, and sleeve corners are extremely meticulously crafted, and those worn by other warriors are rough compared to him; It is ivory; he is tall, with wide shoulders, narrow waist and long legs, wearing a crisp robe, which makes him look more majestic and elegant, and also exudes the noble air of a superior, which is extremely eye-catching...

That's right... Zhao Zhu is King Ping, the ruler of imperial power in the feudal society, how could he be like others?

Lu Li took a step back, covered his eyes, and murmured, "You are right...how could you be wrong? I was wrong...I have no eyes, and I deserved what happened..."

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, not to shake his hands and stop being stiff.

It's meaningless to entangle the past, Zhao Zhu played him, the end has already happened, what's the point of entanglement and questioning like a woman frustrated in love?

This is already ugly, don't make yourself more ugly.

"It's easy for you to be here..." Lu Li let go of his hand, straightened his back, and looked at Zhao Zhu quietly, "Retire."

Zhao Zhu's eyes widened suddenly, and the words seemed to come out from between his teeth, "What did you say?"

"I said..." A very ugly smile appeared on Lu Li's face, helpless and bitter, "Let's retire, Prince Ping."

"No!" The most fearful moment finally came, Zhao Zhu couldn't restrain himself anymore, and hugged Lu Li fiercely, "I won't allow it!"

Lu Li struggled, "Get out, get out!"

Zhao Zhu didn't dare to let go, subconsciously felt that if he let go, he would lose Lu Li forever, so he hugged Zhao more tightly instead.

Seeing Lu Li struggling fiercely, he also became angry.

Why not listen to his explanation!Could it be that if you tell a lie once, you will be sentenced to death and you will not be able to live!Could it be that all the care and love he gave after being together for nearly a year, so many days and nights, were fake!Could it be that those who have a tacit understanding, mutual attraction, and passionate lingering are all fake!

Is Lu Li so contemptuous of his feelings...

There is no need to cherish the waste that is discarded!

Zhao Zhu's eyes were red, his big hands like iron pincers grabbed Lu Li's chin, and kissed him hard.

This is a rude, predatory kiss, not gentle at all, without the slightest warmth, joy, and bitterness rising...

But the person in his arms, even if he is unwilling, unwilling, and full of resentment, is still his. He doesn't allow anyone to take him away, not even himself!

Lu Li struggled fiercely, and there was a crackling sound from his joints, as if he would dislocate in the next second.But he would rather be hurt than to be hugged in someone's arms and play with him like he used to!

He knew that he was no match for Zhao Zhu's strength, so he took advantage of Zhao Zhu's tongue to bite it hard——

Zhao Zhu snorted and left Lu Li's lips.

Lu Li was short of breath, and his gaze was colder than ever before, "Let me go."

Zhao Zhu stared at him fiercely, his teeth were stained with blood, and his voice was full of hostility, "No, let go!"

Lu Li smiled, and slowly pulled himself out, even though his body was in severe pain and his joints were making noises, it didn't stop.

If he does this... he will hurt himself!

Zhao Zhu couldn't help but lighten his strength and let him slide out of his arms.The emptiness in his arms made him feel even more fearful, and an ominous premonition rushed into his heart, "You want...to go?"

Lu Li's eyes drooped slightly, "That's right, we... are not suitable to be together anymore."

"You dare!" Zhao Zhu grabbed Lu Li's wrist and pulled him to his side. Maybe he was too angry, maybe he was too scared. Why didn't you say leave when the king helped you protect you? Why didn't you say leave when you were enjoying yourself under the king? Why didn't you say leave when you asked the king for help—"

'Snapped--'

Lu Li slapped Zhao Zhu hard.

Not only the others, but even himself were stunned after the rejection.

It's not that he hasn't hit Zhao Zhu before, but it's just a joke. In Zhao Zhu's words, it's called 'flirtatious', or he becomes angry from embarrassment, or he deliberately saves his strength to slap, like this with hatred Feeling, playing with all my strength, this is the first time...

The palm was numb and couldn't help trembling, Lu Li looked down at it in a daze.He thought that after rebirth, with a healthy identity, he could still hope for the love of ordinary people. Even if this love is a little... not mainstream, it is a gift from God, and he will be happy for a lifetime.

He likes Zhao Zhu so much, his eyes are full of images of this person, arrogant, domineering, with a face of 'you stupid mortals'... He likes everything and everything, and thinks it is cute.

Why...became like this?

……

Lu Li's gaze turned slightly, and he saw Shen Wansha who was standing at the side in a daze, "You...you know." His voice was hoarse.

Shen Wansha nodded blankly, "...I know."

Lu Li looked up at the sky, trying to force tears into his eyes.He was stupid again, Shen Wansha was born in Shangjing, his parents are of good status, how could he not know about Prince Ping?

Shen Wansha realized that Lu Li had misunderstood, and waved his hands in a hurry, "No, little Li, I didn't know at first, I haven't seen King Ping..."

"At first..." Lu Li looked at Shen Wansha with a smile, "Young Master, I didn't blame you." So you don't need to explain this way.

He smiled and turned around, "I'm leaving, you remember to take good care of yourself..."

Shen Wansha cried.

He had never seen Lu Li like this before, he was obviously smiling, his smile was as bright as before, but his eyes were crying...he was so sad...

"Little Lizi—don't go..." Shen Wansha's vision was hazy, and the figure of his good friend was shaking violently, as if he was about to disappear in the next moment...

But his outstretched hand was empty, and Xiao Lizi ignored him.

"Lu Li!" Zhao Zhu once again hugged Lu Li from behind, "You dare to leave!" He hasn't finished speaking, and the matter hasn't been explained clearly, how can he leave!

With a movement of Lu Li's cuffs, a silver arc flashed in the air, and soon there was blood.

His scalpel scratched his arm, and at the same time scratched Zhao Zhu's face.

His dark eyes were burning with fire, but his tone was extremely calm, "Let go."

There was a slight tingling sensation on his face, and the warm liquid slowly slid down, Zhao Zhu knew that he was bleeding.But for this almost imperceptible flesh injury, the deep wound on Lu Li's arm was even more burning, making his eyes hurt...

Lu Li was injured!

For rebelling against him!

If he continues to be stubborn, it won't be him who gets hurt more, but Lu Li...

The young man in front of him is obviously so thin, and his figure is still young, why does he have so much courage?Why...hate him so much?

Zhao Zhu didn't dare to stop him anymore, he didn't want to hurt Lu Li.

"Don't let anyone follow you." The scalpel in Lu Li's hand flashed coldly, "Otherwise, I don't know what I would do."

Zhao Zhu's complexion froze, his pupils were dark, and he raised his hand to let his dark guards back away.His throat tightened, "Lu Li...don't be impulsive...I beg you, think about it, don't be impulsive, okay? I have a lot to say to you, you just need to calm down and think about it..."

Lu Li hooked his lips into a smile, and suddenly pulled a horse that was following the government soldiers, jumped on it, clamped the horse's belly forcefully, "drive!"

The horse neighed, raised its hooves, and quickly left the long street.

Shen Wansha's heart was about to jump out of fright, "Little Lizi can't ride a horse!"

Zhao Zhu clenched his fists tightly, "...he will."

One day when he was bored, he taught Lu Li how to ride a horse.Lu Li is obviously a frail young man, but he is quite talented in riding a horse. After a while, he can ride in a decent way...

"We... really don't care about it?" Shen Wansha bit his lips tightly, his face was frighteningly pale.

Zhao Zhu didn't answer, but just gestured.

A group of men in gray jumped out immediately and knelt in front of him to obey the order.

"Follow the princess, but if you are in danger of being discovered, stand by at a distance." Zhao Zhu actually wanted to rush forward, but he knew that with his current mood, he might not be able to resist showing up in the past to make things worse. bad.

If not, give Lu Li a time to calm down.Lu Li is very smart and rational, and he always thinks clearly, no matter whether he blames him or hates him, he will always have a settlement with him...

But in order to avoid accidents, he ordered, "Close the gates of Xijing, Xing Zuo Hong You, you are personally responsible, this king does not want this king's concubine to leave, but this king does not know!"

"Yes!"

……

Lu Li understands Zhao Zhu's temperament, this person can't let go completely, he really doesn't send anyone to follow him, he just wants to find a place, think carefully, how to deal with it in the future.

Of course, he already had a defense in his heart, and even subconsciously, he found a good place.

It was a very, very spacious place with a flat river, no houses, no mountains, and few trees around, and the view was unobstructed.If anyone followed, they would be discovered immediately, no matter how strong the person's martial arts were.

It was hard for Lu Li to believe that there was such a place in Xijing City, but it was such a coincidence that he found it.

He rubbed the horse's neck, "Thank you..."

The horse neighed proudly.

"Fortunately, in the midsummer of July, the grass is short but dense enough," Lu Li patted the horse, "Go."

The horse arched him, flicked its tail, and grazing slowly.

Lu Li sat down on the spot, cleaning up his messy mood.

After the shock, his sanity has slowly recovered.

This relationship is based on lies, even if Zhao Zhu has some difficulties, the fact has already been created, and he doesn't want to hear an explanation.The rich and powerful in feudal society had various ways to play, Zhao Zhu could lie to him once, who knows if there will be a second or third time?

Lu Li leaned back, lay flat on the ground, raised his hands to cover his eyes, the back of his hands was once again soaked with tears.

He was born with a disease, and the care of his family let him know that he is different from ordinary people. Even if he works hard and proves himself with outstanding abilities that ordinary people cannot do, he is still not ordinary.

As long as he was born, his family has been worried for a long time.He is longing for feelings, friendship, love, which are so beautifully portrayed in books and movies, and he also wants to taste them, but he dare not.

He can't worry more people.

He didn't dare to make friends, didn't dare to have a good impression of anyone, and asked himself to grit his teeth and bear it, because it was the suffering that God gave him alone, and it was enough to implicate his family.

Unexpectedly reborn, he has a healthy body. At first, he was excited that he could run and enjoy the thrill that all boys yearn for. Later, he longed for more, to experience the feelings of ordinary people.

The warmth given by the Zhang family made him nostalgic, Shen Wansha's friendship moved him even in his dreams late at night, and his attachment to Zhao Zhu... made him feel complete.

Like a person immersed in darkness who has found his own redemption, he loves Zhao Zhu wholeheartedly, because this is his life and the meaning of his life again.

Zhao Zhu is...very important to him, more important than anyone else.

The wound on his arm was throbbing, Lu Li bit his lip and endured, reviewing his mistakes.

Zhao Zhu was wrong, did he not at all?He likes criminal investigation and solving cases, and has learned a lot of knowledge. If he pays attention to observation, he will definitely find the difference in the people around him, but he doesn't.

He clearly distinguishes between public and private affairs. The case is the case. He must devote himself wholeheartedly, mobilize all knowledge, think hard, think, and solve the mystery.But for friends, he feels that what he needs to devote himself to is affection and trust. Since he has become a friend and a lover, he should not doubt or speculate, and treat him with the purest heart.

Seeing all kinds of betrayals in the case, the darkness of human nature is enough, he wants to exchange his sincerity for his sincerity.Moreover, he expects pure feelings, life is already so tiring, when he is with his lover, he shouldn't use his brain like this.

He should have opened his eyes and looked carefully...

He shouldn't worry about seeing bad things and embarrassing his friends and not observing them. Even if there are bad things, facing them together may be a greater respect for friends.

If he had done this earlier, what happened today would not have happened.

But if he really observes and picks everywhere like that, can he still find friends?

Lu Li was very confused.

The feeling of trust being broken was too bad, and he didn't want to have to go through it again.

So this relationship should not continue.

……

The sky is getting late, the gorgeous sunset glow dyes the sky red, the breeze brings the fragrance of summer flowers, and the drunk people want to shed tears.

Lu Li raised his hand, looked at the sky between his fingers, and heard the sound of his own tears falling on the blades of grass.

Great Xia Dynasty, newcomer, everything was messed up by him, so failed, so let it go.

He admitted that he was worthless, and after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't think of any other way but to hide.

He knew Zhao Zhu's temperament, and as King Ping, he had a high position and authority, so he wanted to find himself, so don't be too simple.He didn't want to live in this shadow for the rest of his life, so he had to change his way of life...

I made a decision, and I felt much more comfortable.Lu Li let out a long breath, closed his eyes slowly, and thought about how to leave.

But in an instant, Shen Wansha's face appeared in his mind.

Lu Li didn't blame Shen Wansha at all. Shen Wansha said that he didn't know that Zhao Zhu was King Ping at first, but even if he knew all along, he didn't blame him.Prince Ping is a prince, and Shen Wansha can't tell him that it only needs a little threat and oppression, which is due to his class status.

And Shen Wansha and Zhao Zhu... are different.

Friends and lovers... are not the same.

"I'm sorry..." A murmured voice escaped from Lu Li.If he wanted to leave, he would even abandon his friend Shen Wansha.The young master is so enthusiastic and cute, it will definitely be boring without him on the road.

But he has to give up.

Guan County, the Zhang family, everyone he likes must give up...

Lu Li sometimes feels that he is too cold and thin.

Just like when handling a case, he can always get out of the way and judge the crime calmly and harshly.He seems to be a bit jealous, hating all those who deliberately kill others with blood on their hands.He lacks empathy and can never empathize, unless the case involves the elderly, children, or women.

He looked at the world with cold eyes, as if it had nothing to do with him.

He can give up too many things, even family affection, sometimes feel like a burden, he is actually not good to others, but to himself... even more ruthless.

Abandoning all of this would feel a little uncomfortable at first, but he will get through it, and maybe after years, when he meets Shen Wansha by chance, he will be able to calmly say hello.

……

Suddenly, there was a familiar sound of 'owooowowowowowow', and the next moment, a little white dumpling threw itself into his arms.

"Dabai?" Lu Li was very surprised.

Dabai licked his face passionately, "Wow!"

Footsteps approached and stopped beside him.

Lu Li hugged Dabai, and a woman appeared in his vision.

Pear face, passionate eyes, enchanting red dress, the woman seems to be wearing the sunset glow from the sky on her body, it is too beautiful to behold.

"Want to leave?" she said.

……

Zhao Zhu waited for a whole hour, but Lu Li still didn't come back.Although the city gate reported that he did not see Lu Li, and there were no changes everywhere, he still couldn't help it.

He summoned Yuan Lian and asked coldly, "You guarantee that Lu Li hasn't left?"

"The place chosen by the princess is too coincidental. We have no way to get close. We can only wait in a further circle. No one saw the princess come out."

Zhao Zhu slammed the table hard, "Let's go!" He wanted to see it with his own eyes, and if he didn't see Lu Li again, he might go crazy!

Shen Wansha dragged He Lianyu to sit by the window, looking out from time to time, waiting anxiously.

But he didn't wait for Zhao Zhu to come, he only waited for Yuan Lian's subordinates.

That person was specially sent to report, "Princess... is gone."

Shen Wansha was a little confused, and suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the man's hand, "What do you mean by leaving!"

"The subordinates can't find the princess, the princess has already left."

"Leave... Gone?" Shen Wansha's eyes were blank, his voice was broken, "Little Lizi doesn't want me anymore?"

He suddenly burst into tears and ran wildly outside, "I don't believe it, I want to see with my own eyes, there is no way Little Lizi will not want me!"

"Xiaosha!" He Lianyu's figure floated out, and quickly followed.

The wind blows slightly, the stars appear slightly in the sky, and the night spreads out like ink.

Under the stars and the moon, someone's tears were dried by the wind and reappeared.

The Xijing city at night seems to have returned to the era of gold and iron horses, and the sound of horseshoes is accompanied by muffled sounds.
