Suya

At night, the lights are shining brightly, the huge building complex stretches for several miles, and bustling everywhere.

After a whole day's rest, Feng Chen was full of energy and looked radiant, jumping left and right on the roof of Liguo Palace and running quickly, followed by Feng Xiao and three soldiers.

When he was about to reach the Nei Ling Palace, Feng Chen waved his hand to make everyone stop, and squatted on the roof, frowning and looking at the guards patrolling back and forth below.For some reason, there are so many guards in the Li Palace tonight. Many places where there was only one person guarding, now there are two people, or even three people, and those places that should be dead ends are now closely guarded.

Could it be that something happened?Feng Chen held his breath, lowered his body and leaned on the roof, watching every movement below.

The cool wind swept gently, the palace lantern hanging on the eaves shook gently, and the shadows on the ground danced a few times as if they were dancing. Several guards walked by, their shoes stepped on the light and shadows, making tiny noises. No sound, nothing else.At night, it was eerily quiet, the entire Li Palace seemed to be holding its breath, and even the flow of air became stagnant.

There is no conflict, no panic, no smell of blood or sound of fighting, everything is in order.

It seems that he is overthinking.

Feng Chen waved to the people behind him.

Soon, a group of people arrived outside the hall.The vermilion palace gates were closed tightly, the big trees on both sides rustled in the breeze, and the bright moonlight cast down, illuminating a blurry scene.Bits of light came out from the main hall, warmly illuminating the stone steps in front of the hall, the voices of voices drifting out with the light and shadow, Feng Chen felt a sudden warmth in his heart, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help it Tilted up slightly.

Feng Chen pushed open the hall door, and a translucent golden light poured out from the hall. Li Xi Ruo was sitting at a low table, her ink-like black hair was loosely tied up with a white jade hairpin, and she was dressed in a white dress inlaid with gold, making her skin more delicate like jade .

Feng Xiao stood behind Feng Chen and scanned the surrounding environment. After reading it for the first time, he found that Feng Chen in front of him didn't move, so he watched it again. Unexpectedly, after he finished watching it for the second time, the person in front still didn't move. .

Strange...... He raised his hand to bump into Feng Chen, and asked, "General, why don't you go in?"

Feng Chen suddenly woke up as if he had just woken up from a dream, he retracted his gaze that had been frozen for a long time, coughed, and walked inside.

Li Xiruo turned his head, and Feng Chen's delicate face jumped into Feng Chen's line of sight like this, which made Feng Chen feel distracted for a while, and almost froze again.

"Feng Chen?!" A somewhat high-pitched voice suddenly sounded unceremoniously.

Only then did Feng Chen realize that Li Wang was also there.

King Li was also dressed in white, with his long hair tied up high with a golden crown.

He sat in front of Li Xiruo, straightened his body, frowned, looked at Feng Chen like a bird, and asked with a very displeased face: "Why are you here again?"

Feng Chen walked straight into the hall, and said coldly: "King Li is still young, he should go to bed early. It's late at night now, King Li, please go back to the bedroom."

King Li stared at Feng Chen for a while, then suddenly flattened his mouth, made a very aggrieved look, lowered his head and asked, "Does General Feng want to drive me away?"

Feng Chen couldn't help gritting his teeth, and cursed secretly in his heart: Why the hell don't you become an actress?

Li Xiruo ignored their quarrel, but kept staring at Feng Chen, as if surprised by his arrival.

When he saw the people behind Feng Chen clearly, the astonishment on his face deepened: "Feng Chen, why are you here?"

Feng Chen was a little displeased, he didn't expect that Li Xiruo would ask such a question like Li Wang: "Why, I'm not welcome?"

"Of course not." Li Xiruo seemed to have sensed Feng Chen's displeasure, got up and welcomed him into the room.

Feng Chen restrained his anger, walked over and sat down.

Li Wang twisted his body, moved the cushion he was sitting on to the side, and deliberately distanced himself from Feng Chen.

The rest of the people also found places to sit down.

Feng Chen looked at Li Xiruo, a thousand worries came to his mind, but for a moment he didn't know where to start. After thinking about it, he said, "Xi Ruo, I want to talk to you alone."

Li Xiruo nodded, and asked Li Wang softly if he could avoid it for a while.

Although King Li was a child, he had a delicate heart, knowing that tonight was not the time to play tricks, even though he was unwilling, he still nodded and left with the maid.

Feng Xiao and the two soldiers followed suit, and after a while, only Feng Chen and Li Xiruo remained in the entire hall.

The candle was burning quietly, projecting the figures of the people in the house on the wall, stretching them into elongated and weird shapes.

Feng Chen looked at the candlelight dancing on Li Xiruo's face, the previous depression and boredom seemed to be swept away, replaced by indescribable joy: "Xi Ruo, do you miss me?"

Li Xiruo didn't answer, but just looked at him blankly, with a puzzled look on his face.

"Xi Ruo...speak."

"Feng Chen, why are you here?"

Feng Chen was a little speechless: "Why do you ask this question again? I want to see you, so I came naturally."

Li Xiruo lowered his head and looked at the table. The candlelight that was originally full of warmth trembled slightly on his body, unexpectedly showing a sense of loneliness and coldness.

"Did something happen?"

"I..." Li Xiruo looked up at Feng Chen, then immediately turned his gaze elsewhere.

Feng Chen waited quietly.

Li Xiruo squeezed her hand and said, "I thought you would never come again."

"Why do you think so?"

Li Xiruo bit her lip, hesitated for a while, and said, "I thought you and Feng Xiao..."

Feng Chen was really at a loss: "What happened to me and Xiao'er?"

"You..." Li Xiruo glanced at Feng Chen, then shifted his gaze to the candle beside him: "Aren't you and Feng Xiao together?"

Feng Chen almost spat out a mouthful of blood: "Where did you hear that crazy talk? He is my adopted son, how could I be with him?"

"You weren't with him yesterday..." Li Xiruo stopped speaking in embarrassment, paused and said, "The spies told me what you said to other people."

The so-called "you and other people's words" presumably refers to the words that Feng Xiao said when he was talking nonsense with others downstairs after Feng Xiao was injured.

Feng Chen was speechless, with tears streaming down his face, he blamed himself for playing for a while, if the relationship between him and Li Xiruo was really ruined because of this kind of silly misunderstanding, then he would really die.

"Actually, I had a fight with Xiao'er yesterday, and then he accidentally fell to the ground and injured his waist. As for what I said to other people...I was just joking."

Li Xi Ruo was stunned for a while, a somewhat embarrassed and relieved smile appeared on his face: "So that's how it is."

Feng Chen also smiled: "Fortunately, I came to you today, otherwise I really don't know how long you will misunderstand me." He took out a piece of paper from his arms: "Okay, let's not talk about this, I will I came here specially to see you tonight because I have something to discuss."

Feng Chen opened the paper, laid it flat on the small table, and a map appeared in front of his eyes.

Li Xiruo stared at the map carefully: "Is this the map of Fengguo?"

"It's not just a map, look here." Feng Chen pointed to a small circle: "There is also the distribution of troops within the feudal kingdom. A red circle represents 20 troops, and a blue circle represents [-] troops. Take Beiling as an example. There are two blue circles side by side in the mouth of the gorge, indicating that there are [-] troops stationed on the west and east sides of the gorge, and there is a blue circle further north, indicating that this is the first line of defense against Yu. , with [-] troops."

Li Xiruo looked at the map and pondered for a long time: "Feng Chen, what do you want to say?"

Feng Chen scratched the sheepskin map with his finger, and said, "Guess." His tone was relaxed, as if he just made a lantern riddle for others to guess.

Li Xiruo stared at the drawing, his brows became tighter and tighter. After thinking for a long time, he looked at Feng Chen and said in disbelief, "You want to attack Feng Guo?"

Feng Chen gave him a thumbs up.

"Are you crazy? You are a native of Fengguo!"

"Someone leaked the news. Feng He already knew about me and you. Now he is forcing me to kill you. I don't want to kill you. So pre-empting is the best way. It can not only save you, but also avoid future troubles for Li Guo."

Li Xiruo almost slapped the table: "Feng Chen, what you want to fight now is not Yu country, nor Qin country, but Feng country, it's your home country!"

"Don't you want me to seal the country? This is the best way to save the country."

Li Xiruo got up with a flick of his sleeves, with anger hidden in his tone: "Don't say any more, I will never let you do such a thing that is beyond the law of deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors."

Feng Chen pulled him to sit down: "Whether you agree or not, let me finish talking first, anyway, it's just for listening, there's nothing wrong with it."

Li Xiruo stared at him for a while with a stiff face, then reluctantly nodded.
