Ye Gui

In Chaoyang Palace of the imperial city, Si Zhongyi, the lord of the country, has been unwell for the past few days, and the charcoal fire in the palace is so hot that it makes people angry. Lei Yan and Bai Yin are standing in the outer hall waiting for the lord to call.

He tugged at the collar of his official uniform, the stiff collar was buttoned to the top, and his throat was stuck.He hated wearing official robes the most, it was too restrictive, and the rules in this resplendent imperial palace were much more annoying and uncomfortable.

Hakuin looked at him with a smile, and stretched out his hand to undo the top button for him: "Ah Yan is not feeling well, just loosen one, you won't be able to see it."

Lei Yan felt that Bai Yin was standing in this hall in simple white clothes, but there was no disobedience in the slightest. He seemed to be born with nobility. He looked him up and down. This person was really strange. Contaminated with smoke and fire, this majestic imperial city is not contaminated with power at all.

"What do Ah Yan always see me doing?" Bai Yin asked.

Lei Yan looked around to see if no one was paying attention, and whispered in his ear, "Look at you..."

Bai Yin was amused by him: "Go home and let you see enough." He said, "I don't know why Lord Shenyu asked me to come here."

Lei Yan squeezed his hand and said: "Your deeds have been spread all over Shenyu, he must want to meet you, it's okay, you can say whatever the king asks, don't be nervous, I'm here."

The palace people came to announce their entry.Si Zhongyi Xu picked up the clothes, wearing layers of court clothes, pale without a trace of blood, holding a brass soup pot in the warm spring hall.An Zhihua was wearing a lotus-colored skirt with a plain white gauze beige on her side to serve.

"I have met the lord, the lord Wanan." Lei Yan bowed on his knees.

"Get up." Si Zhongyi feebly raised his hand, "Ah Yan, long time no see, I told the general about you a while ago." He looked at the young man in white standing beside him, "This is Mr. Bai Bar?"

Bai Yin didn't worship him, and Si Zhongyi didn't blame him. He had heard about Bai Yin a long time ago. The man in front of him was Pei Guoshi's uncle. Get up, he should stand up to greet you.

Hakuin said: "Yes, next time, Hakuin, I have met the king."

An Zhihua looked at Lei Yan, and the woman felt jealous: "I have heard that the little general is extremely handsome, and seeing him now, it is true, even this woman, Ben Gong, is ashamed."

Si Zhongyi patted her hand and said: "Ah Yan doesn't come to the palace very often, so it's no wonder you haven't seen him. He looks like his mother and has been beautiful since he was a child. I remember seeing him for a while, and he changed his face. "

Lei Yan couldn't confront him directly, he could only suppress his unhappiness.

Bai Yin took a step forward and said solemnly: "This time, the little general led the city defenders who were less than half the number of Qin Yang's army, and defended Yanming City for a day and a night. They were seriously injured and almost died for the sake of Shenyu Kingdom and the people. Respect the little general, don't talk about other things."

His seriousness made people feel awe-inspiring, and Si Zhongyi was taken aback for a moment. Since he came to the throne at the age of 25, no one had given him this feeling for so many years, and he blurted out: "Mr. Bai is right, the little general has made great achievements this time. If you want anything, just say it, Gu will satisfy you."

Lei Yan was not interested in the gold and silver rewards for being promoted, and replied: "Thank you, my lord, I don't have anything I want, I just hope that the lord can reward the soldiers at the border."

Si Zhongyi smiled and said: "That's for sure, Ah Yan values ​​the soldiers so much, just like your father, no wonder the soldiers are willing to sacrifice their lives for the country, with you father and son, my Shenyu can be stable and peaceful, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. "

Lei Yan snorted coldly in his heart, he said so beautifully, he just took over the military power just by saying it.

Si Zhongyi is well versed in the way of balance, knowing that Lei Yan must be dissatisfied, and said: "The general is old, and I can't bear him to be stationed in the bitter cold place of Yanming City. I want him to come back and cultivate well. Tianlu The climate in the city is pleasant, suitable for self-cultivation. By the way, if the general has any better places, Gu can reward him with a mansion of good land."

To put it nicely, isn't it just forcing his father to drop his armor and return to the field!Lei Yan didn't appreciate it, and said directly: "Thank you for your kindness, the lord, when my father comes back, the lord can ask him personally."

Si Zhongyi originally wanted to win Lei Yan over so that he could comfort Lei Ting after he came back, but in the end, this kid was as unreasonable as his father.

He turned to ask Bai Yin: "Mr. Bai, I heard that this time Qin Yang attacked Yanming City. It was Mr. Bai who subdued the demons and transferred the people to Jirong City. Mr. Bai is my Shenyu benefactor. Baishan disciples have never been interested in worldly things, but I still have to express my gratitude on behalf of the common people, what wish does Mr. Bai have?"

Bai Yin said: "My lord, you don't have to be polite, I don't need anything, if you want to thank me, then give the reward to Ah Yan."

Si Zhongyi said: "Okay, listen to Mr. Bai, it is also Shenyu's blessing for Ah Yan to have you as a confidant." He coughed a few times, An Zhihua lightly gave him comfort, and Bai Yin stood far away You can feel the dead air in Si Zhongyi's whole body, I'm afraid time is running out.

Si Zhongyi coughed enough, took a sip of water and continued: "I have a merciless request, and I hope Mr. Bai can agree."

Bai Yin said, "My lord, please speak."

"I would like to ask Mr. Bai to assume the position of the national teacher of Shenyu Kingdom."

Lei Yan looked at Si Zhongyi in surprise, and said in his heart, you have a good idea!

Bai Yin said: "Now Shenyu Guoshi is Pei Zheng. He is familiar with spells and powerful enough to be qualified for the position of Shenyu Guoshi. I have no plans to join the WTO. I hope the Lord will forgive me."

Si Zhongyi said: "I know. It's just that Pei Guoshi came to look for Gu half a year ago and told me that he will die soon..."

Bai Yin was surprised, did Pei Zheng know about his loss of soul half a year ago?What happened half a year ago?Pei Zheng couldn't ask any more questions. It seemed that he was going to the National Teacher's Mansion to ask Xiao Zhuang and the others.

He had a hint of admiration for Pei Zheng in his heart. After learning that he lost his soul, this nephew steadily arranged to monitor Bai Ran. The water ghost in Anning County was also in his expectation. Some kind of prohibition, he will not run around, but he can rush there in time when a certain time or a certain event is triggered. Although he may have lost his mind when he appeared at the ferry in Anning County as a phantom, he still has instincts Always remember what you want to do and who you want to get rid of.

Why did he say that his life was not long?Did he expect something half a year ago?

Seeing that Bai Yin was silent, Si Zhongyi continued to fight and said: "I don't understand the rules of your Baishan. Although I don't want to see the national teacher die, but since the national teacher said so, I still hope that Mr. Bai can persuade the national teacher to return. Baishan cultivation, after all, Baishan is full of spiritual power, suitable for the cultivation of national teachers."

Bai Yin said: "Then I'll ask Pei Zheng what he means. If he is willing, I will let him go back to Baishan."

He didn't mention at all what to do if the position of the national teacher was left vacant after Pei Zheng left. Si Zhongyi said: "Mr. Bai, you saved the people of Shenyu Kingdom and helped you guard Yanming City. Don't shirk your responsibility. You are perfect for the post of teacher, the fate of Shenyu Kingdom is tied to you, if you go to Qinyang and other countries, they may not be able to tolerate you." He was worried that if a man of God went to an enemy country, what would he say? You have to stay under your nose to rest assured.

Bai Yin smiled and said, "Don't worry, the lord. I said that if I don't join the world, I won't join any country. I'm used to wandering in the clouds and wild cranes, and I won't stay for anyone."

Si Zhongyi said: "What about Ah Yan?"

Hakuin didn't speak.Seeing his expression change, Si Zhongyi knew that he had taken advantage of his weakness: "Ah Yan is the son of the general of Shenyu Kingdom, and he will inherit his father's position as a general in the future, commanding the five armies of Shenyu. The responsibility for Ah Yan is so great..." Si Zhongyi's hazy eyes burst into light: "If what happened last time happened again, will Mr. Bai help Ah Yan defend the city again?"

Lei Yan said anxiously: "My lord! It's the duty of our generals to guard the city, so what's the matter with Bai Yin?" His heart ached. He didn't force Bai Yin to help him last time. In front of Hakuin...

He just wants to pull Hakuin out of here, whoever wants to be the general will do it, he just wants to make Hakuin happy now.

Bai Yin stood in front of him and said: "My lord, I am here for Ah Yan. If he encounters difficulties again in the future, I will help him, and I will not stand by."

Si Zhongyi twitched the corner of his old mouth, what he wanted was Bai Yin's words, the national teacher is just a vain job.

Just now in the inner hall, he saw the actions of the two of them clearly. He is still very accurate in judging people. Who is lying to whom, and who is unswerving to whom, what kind of feelings are vulnerable , What kind of feelings are unforgettable... As long as Little General Lei is in Shenyu Kingdom for a day, Bai Yin will not stay out of it.

The afternoon sun was covered by clouds, yellowing the western sky.The cold wind that pierced through the bone cracks howled, and blew from the air at the other end of the path, blowing through the fox fur and cloak.

All the palaces are resting, and there are almost no palace people on the road.An orange wild cat ran over in the alley. Seeing someone, it ran up the palace wall in two steps and disappeared.

"Bai Yin..." Lei Yan hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Huh?" Hakuin smiled and closed his cloak for him.

Lei Yan grabbed his hand and said, "I'm sorry. I never told you..."

Bai Yin smiled and said, "Ah Yan has said it countless times."

"It's not that I'm sorry." Lei Yan lowered his eyes and said: "I always feel that I am taking advantage of your feelings for me."

The two already had a good understanding, and Bai Yin knew what he was referring to when he said a word without thinking: "Ah Yan." He said seriously, "Ever since I appeared downstairs in Baijuan Town, you saw my At that moment, the cause appeared, and everything that is happening now is the result of planting at that time."

"You don't have to blame yourself, I know you love me. I don't want to join the world because I don't want to get involved in the world's right and wrong. If people like us get involved in the world too much, it will change the established path of the world. The road is paved for the world by gods and ignorance. Before he disappeared, he once said, "If there is a cause, there will be an effect, and the evil effect should not be allowed to appear in the world." If the god is still there, the cause and effect are established, but now there is no god in the world , we must work hard to let the world move forward along the established path, and if I get involved, it will change the direction of the path."

"But Ah Yan, I've seen a lot recently. People don't live to follow a predetermined path. They make choices all the time, and every choice is fresh. When I meet and see it, I can't stand by. You're right. , Life in this world is not just as simple as the cycle of life and death, there is no established path for everyone, the existence, disappearance, and traces of people and all things are the cause and effect of this world.”

"I don't want to be a national teacher, and I don't want to be a savior. I just want to love you, and you are my karma."
