found a fool

Dong Chili showed an unbelievable expression, and quickly came back to his senses. He sneered and said, "My good brother, why, don't you dare to come out to see my brother?"

Dong Qi just came out and looked down at the ground. He didn't say a word, he really felt sorry for Dong Chili in his heart, and Dong Chili was even more displeased when he saw him like this: "What do you look like? My brother, when did you become so indecisive?"

The tone in his tone was mostly hatred of iron but not steel. Hearing Dong Qi's guilt, he couldn't help but say: "Brother, just stop, Your Majesty will forgive you."

Dong Chili ignored Dong Qi, he frowned, and the moment he saw Xia Liyang, he knew that the situation was over - if the safety of all the staff could not be guaranteed, then Si Ye and the others would definitely not let Xia Liyang appear here.

He frowned and thought for a moment, but smiled: "I heard that the leader of Baizhao was killed by a little-known little man. I originally planned to find an opportunity to recruit that man. Now that I think about it, General Zhao is really brave. ..."

Xia Liyang's heart ached when he saw it. He had already heard something from Dong Chili's words. Dong Chili was indeed his friend who talked about everything, and it was because of everything that he talked about that led to today's disaster. .

On the surface, Dong Chili's subordinates are still surrounded by everyone, and he has the upper hand, but in fact, even he himself understands that once he makes a move, he will really be defeated, so he has not issued an order for a long time.

He looked at Xia Liyang, and expressed his doubts at the last moment: "Sir, what you told me before, are they all wrong?"

Xia Liyang has been unable to substitute Dong Chili into the identity of "Zhu Jiu", and at this moment he finally fully believes that the two are indeed the same, this is indeed his good friend who used to chat freely through letters.

Xia Liyang once discussed the essence of imperial power with Zhu Jiu, and also talked about the disadvantages of fooling the people. He occasionally confides his longing for the present world, which in Zhu Jiu's eyes is like yearning for such a beautiful world.

He couldn't figure it out, so he asked Xia Liyang: "You said that you hope that the people will be wise and the ruler be benevolent, that businessmen will not be called low-level, that there will be fewer exorbitant taxes, and that..."

"I also said that I hope that the country will be peaceful and there will be no war." Xia Liyang interrupted Dong Chili's words. He was in a very complicated mood and didn't know how to answer this question. In the end, he replied with a very simple sentence: "I haven't even learned to walk. , how can you run steadily?"

He really hopes that this country can become as beautiful and powerful as the current one, but he also understands that it is thousands of years away, and he also understands that even the current country has various unsatisfactory conditions.

It's as if knowing that making gunpowder can help Zhao Xiaoyi win the battle, but Xia Liyang never made it, this country is too advanced in thinking, and deliberately making it progress will only cause a serious fall.

What's more... Xia Liyang looked at Dong Chili disappointedly: "Have you ever thought about how many people will lose their husbands, sons and fathers through your cooperation with Bai Zhao? Do you really think you are doing the right thing? "

"The things in the future haven't happened yet, how do you know what I did wrong?" Dong Chili looked at Xia Liyang seriously: "You said that history books are written by the victors, and you also said that some things went wrong at the time. Qianqiu."

"Sorry." Xia Liyang said, "I said too much."

At first, Xia Liyang thought that he had met a confidant and a friend who could talk about everything, but he never thought what would happen to his friend after hearing those words, and now of course he regrets it indescribably.

Dong Chili suddenly smiled and said: "Forget it, it's my fault after all. Since the crime is unforgivable, Chi Li has nothing to struggle with, but there is still a wish unfulfilled?"

"Brother!" It was Dong Qi who spoke first, and he said: "Brother, don't say such things, Your Majesty will forgive you, don't do stupid things!" He looked at Si Ye as he spoke, his eyes full of prayer Feelings.

Xia Liyang seemed to understand something, instead of pleading, he asked: "What wish?"

"This mask, please keep Li Yang safe for me." Dong Chili smiled, took half a step forward, and stopped there without moving.

Xia Liyang sighed, and wanted to go over to get it, but Si Ye pulled him: "Brother!"

"It's okay." Xia Liyang shook his head: "Zhu Jiu won't harm me." He deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the word Zhu Jiu.

Dong Chili's expression froze, the hand holding the mask moved back slightly, and in the end, he really just handed over a mask—the mask he used as "Bamboo Nine".

And not far behind him, Zhao Xiaoyi, disguised as an ordinary soldier, had already guarded behind Dong Chili, and he also took this scene into his eyes. If Dong Chili had any changes just now, his head would already be in a different place by now.

Xia Liyang clenched his mask tightly, watching Dong Chili being escorted away, he still felt a sense of unreality in his heart, Dong Qi walked over, looked at him sideways for a moment, and said that he was going away and would come back in a few years.

Si Yu said that he had stayed in the imperial city for too long and would return to Qubei after a while, and urged Xia Liyang to go with him, but Si Ye was sent away.

There were fewer and fewer people, Xia Liyang knew that they were making space for himself and Zhao Xiaoyi to get along with each other, so he sighed again and went outside.To see the red bricks and green tiles under the blue sky, to see the world he is used to.

Someone came up behind him and hugged him, calling softly: "Yangyang..."

Xia Liyang was taken aback for a moment, then turned around in surprise: "You..."

Do you remember now?
