Chapter 15 Chapter Fourteen The Singer Goes

"Tired?" "Not tired." "How long can you carry me on your back?" "long time." "How long is a long time?" "A long time is a long time." "If it is a difficult and difficult road, will you carry me? If you are very tired, will you carry me?" ... Yun Ge desperately wanted to hear the answer, but there was only the sound of the wind blowing all around, blowing all the answers into the wind.The harder you listen, the louder the wind will be, and Yun Ge will become more and more anxious. "Wake up, Ye Youshen." Xu Pingjun shook Yun Ge awake.

Yun Ge stared blankly at Xu Pingjun, still not sure where he was. Xu Pingjun came close to her face and asked ambiguously: "What did you do last night? When Hong Yi went to look for you, the room was empty. When it was almost dawn, someone came back with a pig on his back. The pig slept soundly. He's dead and dead, and he doesn't even know he's been sold." Yun Ge's face turned hot, "We didn't do anything, he just walked around behind my back." "Could it be that you left all night?" Xu Pingjun shook his head in disbelief. Yun Ge opened his eyes wide and nodded vigorously, expressing that there was absolutely no lie.

"You really only walked for one night? You only saw the dark barren mountains? Sigh! You are a pig, but why is it that Meng Jue is also a pig!" Xu Pingjun shook his head feebly. Yun Ge thought of the things in the dream and was in a trance. Is it really a dream?Did she ask such a silly thing last night?Don't all girls ask silly questions when they're in love? Xu Pingjun patted Yun Ge's cheek, "Don't be in a daze, wash your face and comb your hair, lunch is about to begin." Yun Ge saw a wheelchair and a pair of crutches in the corner of the room, "The princess is very thoughtful."

Xu Pingjun was injured in one hand and couldn't move. The other hand was holding a pottery pot to pour water for Yun Ge, "Don't thank the wrong person. I heard Ding Wairen order the palace servants to find you a wheelchair and crutches. It should be that Brother Meng privately The princess has been busy pleasing the emperor, how can she take care of you?" Yun Ge covered her face with a towel, covering the happy smile on her lips. Xu Pingjun said: "You slept all morning, and you missed so many wonderful things. The emperor went up the mountain at night, and when he arrived at the palace, there were bloodstains on his arms and legs, and there was a ragged robe in the carriage. I heard that the emperor I wanted to enter the palace quietly, so no one would be alarmed, but somehow the news leaked out, the princess was shocked, thinking that the emperor met an assassin, Hu Lala and his gang all went to see the emperor, it was quite a bustling scene."

"Is it really an assassin?" Yun Ge asked. "I later said no. At first everyone was skeptical. But the emperor's personal bodyguard said that there was no assassin, and the eunuch next to the emperor said that the emperor was accidentally scratched by a thorn while walking in the forest. The person who was brought by the princess for questioning said that' I saw the emperor suddenly jumped out of the carriage and walked up the wild path without saying anything. When he came back, the emperor was already injured." Several imperial doctors who examined the emperor's wound also confirmed that "it was just a wound cut by thorns , not a sword wound.' This emperor is even weirder than you and Meng Jue, why is it so dark that he doesn't rest in a magnificent palace, but instead goes for a walk in the thorns?"

Yun Ge said with a smile: "There must be someone's reason." Xu Pingjun looked at Yun Ge with a smile, "Could it be possible that the emperor also has a strange beauty to accompany? Brother Meng is obviously a normal person, but he doesn't sleep at night..." Yun Ge flicked the water in the basin, sprinkled Xu Pingjun's face, and poured back all the words Xu Pingjun hadn't said yet. Xu Pingjun was so angry that he pinched Yunge. The two were laughing and joking, the princess' manager sent someone to pass the message, telling Yun Ge to prepare well in the next few days, and she might be ordered to cook at any time.They were given a dedicated kitchen, a cook who listened to Yun Ge's orders, and someone who helped prepare the ingredients.

After Yun Ge and Xu Pingjun finished their meal, one pushed the wheelchair, and the other hung his wrist to look at the kitchen. Yun Ge glanced at the kitchen casually, and the first thing he opened his mouth was a long list of names of ingredients. The people at the side hurriedly wrote them down, and ordered others to prepare. Xu Pingjun saw that Yunge was planning to do it in the afternoon, and asked curiously: "Is it because I'm doing it for the emperor, and I'm worried about making mistakes, so I want to try it out first?" Seeing that there was no one around, Yun Ge said in a low voice: "No, I have been flipping through the classics for a while, and saw some messy things. I was thinking about some recipes. Some ingredients are very strange and rare. Now the kitchen has, There are materials and people, so there is no need for nothing.”

Xu Pingjun pointed at Yun Ge in shock, "You, you took advantage of the princess." Yun Ge smiled frankly, "It is taken from the people and used for the people. Don't they get these things from the people? Are we not the people?" Seeing Xu Pingjun's lips curled up in disdain, she continued: "Even if I am not the people , you must be a citizen." Yun Ge spent the whole afternoon cooking in the kitchen, and those who didn't know thought she was devoted to the princess. Originally, Xu Pingjun was always willing to taste Yunge's dishes, let alone dishes made of rare ingredients, but when she saw that the colors of the dishes became more and more weird, some were pitch black, like poured with ink, and some were thick dark green. With a pungent sour smell, and colorful, it looks more like poison than dishes.

Even when a spider fell into the pot, she yelled for Yun Ge to fish it out, but Yun Ge stared at the spider in the pot and muttered to himself, "Also known as sublime, spider gnat, bitter cold, slightly poison……" As soon as Xu Pingjun heard the poisonous words, he immediately said: "Pour it out!" While muttering to himself, Yun Ge stirred the soup pot with a spoon, and the spider disappeared into the soup, "Entering the Jueyin Liver Meridian, it can cure children's anorexia of breast milk, children's anorexia of breast milk just doesn't like to eat, um, no Like to eat... this one is going to be simmered."

Xu Pingjun made up his mind that if he didn't stand next to Yunge and see clearly how Yunge cooks, he would never eat anything Yunge cooked again. So when Yun Ge brought a prepared ink dish in front of Xu Pingjun and asked her to try it, Xu Pingjun took a step back, took another step, and said with a dry smile, "Yun Ge, I'm so full at noon that I really can't eat." "Taste a small sip." Yun Ge's "a small sip" made Xu Pingjun take another big step back. Yun Ge could only taste it by himself, while Xu Pingjun frowned and watched. As soon as Yun Ge took a mouthful, he vomited out, not only what he ate, but also what he ate at noon.

"Water, water." After rinsing a pot of water, Yun Ge still had a bitter face.It was so bitter that I had to spit out my stomach juice. Seeing Yun Ge like this, Xu Pingjun felt that he had made the most wise decision in his life. Nothing in the world is more miserable than coptis, what is coptis compared to this?The dark things in this bowl are bitter bile, coptis, rot, rot, pig paste and berries... anyway, the most bitter and irreconcilable bitter in the world, after concentrated, all in one bowl, Yun Ge just added a little Licorice is used as a primer to make the bitterness worse. Who would dare to eat the food after just drinking the soup?Xu Pingjun wanted to fall, but Yunge immediately stopped him. After a while, Yun Ge gritted his teeth, frowned, picked up chopsticks to pick up vegetables, Xu Pingjun yelled, "Yun Ge, you are crazy, is this for people to eat?" "The more bitter the better, the more bitter the better..." Yun Ge closed his eyes and stuffed a dish into his mouth.Stomach churned, Yun Ge leaned aside and retched, as if bile was about to be spit out. Xu Pingjun considered whether he should invite an imperial physician?If you tell others that the cook died because of eating the dishes you cooked, would anyone believe it? During dinner, Meng Jue received a secret message from Hong Yi that Yun Ge wanted to see him. Thinking there was something urgent, he rushed to see Yun Ge, but what he saw was Yun Ge smilingly holding a bowl for him, the inside was so dark that it was impossible to tell what it was. "This is the dish I just made today, try it." Meng Jue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, resigning from Huo Guang, King Yan, and King Guangling was not a matter of leaving immediately, and there were all kinds of dishes at the dinner party, not to mention eating was too small compared to other things, but Yun Ge A serious look. But seeing Yun Ge's look of anticipation, all his helplessness dissipated, he took the bowl with a smile, and lowered his head to eat. He gave Yun Ge a lot of face, he didn't have much effort, the big bowl had already bottomed out, when he looked up, he saw Yun Ge who turned his head sideways, with tears in his eyes. "Yunge?" Yun Ge smiled and turned her head, "What's the matter? How does it taste?" It seemed that it was momentary, Meng Jue shook his head with a smile, "It's nothing. As long as you cook, I like to eat. I'm going back. Your legs are not convenient, so you have time to rest. Although you like cooking, don't eat it." Just thinking about cooking." After Meng Jue finished speaking, she left in a hurry.Yun Ge sat in a wheelchair in a daze. At night, Yun Ge lay on the couch and asked Xu Pingjun, "Sister Xu, if one day, I mean, if, everything you eat loses its taste, how would you feel?" Xu Pingjun thought for a while and said: "It will be miserable! For me, after a hard day, eating a delicious meal is a very happy thing. Yunge, haven't you said that food is like life, and all the words to describe life Both can be used to describe dishes, sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and dishes are the only things that can give people a direct feeling of these tastes. It is impossible to imagine meals without sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy. What does sweet look like? What does bitter taste like? Like, like..." "It's like a blind man who doesn't know how blue the sky is, how white the clouds are, and will never understand the beauty of the rainbow. Red, orange, yellow, and blue are just meaningless characters." During the conversation, Xu Pingjun had already fallen asleep, but Yun Ge was still tossing and turning, thinking of recipes that could stimulate the sense of taste. The night sky in the mountains is different from the night sky in Chang'an City. Because of the darkness of the night, the sky is brighter, blue, dark blue, dark blue, because of the color of the clouds, mixed together in different shades. Liu Fuling leaned against the railing, holding a jug of wine, drinking lightly against the moon.Hearing footsteps, without turning his head, he asked directly, "Is there any news?" "The slave is incompetent, not yet. The slave has secretly sent people to inquire about the residents and patrollers in the mountain, but he has not found the singer. Now the decent people are searching in the Oasis Palace. The emperor can rest assured that as long as the singer is in the Oasis Palace, the slave will definitely be able to sing." Find her." Yu An stopped a few steps away.Seeing the jug in Liu Fuling's hand, he was surprised.Because of the dangerous environment, the emperor's every move was watched by countless eyes, so the emperor was very strict with himself and almost never drank alcohol. Liu Fuling turned around and handed the jug to Yu An, "Take it away!" "Today, Mr. Huo is hosting a banquet for the three princes on behalf of the emperor. If the emperor wants to get drunk, the servant can watch outside." Liu Fuling looked at Yu An, and smiled slightly, the smile disappeared before reaching his eyes. Yu An didn't dare to say any more, took the jug, "Your Majesty, I haven't used the dinner yet, I wonder what the Emperor wants to use?" Liu Fuling said flatly, "I'm not hungry now, so there's no need to pass it on." "I heard from the princess that Mr. Zhu, who cooked for the emperor last time, is also here. Do you want to order him to cook for the emperor again? Doesn't the emperor love fish most? It's just a good time to taste Mr. Zhu's cooking." Liu Fuling frowned, "Sister is also at the dinner party?" "yes." Because of his closeness with his sister, those who are interested regard her as a weapon that can be used.Use my sister to find out his whereabouts, use my sister to grasp his emotions, use my sister to test his reaction. Wasn't the farce this morning the reason why those people were using Sister to investigate his strange behavior? My sister is surrounded by wolves, but she doesn't know it, and she has her heart entrusted to others. Liu Fuling got up and took a few steps, raised his voice, and asked with a cold face: "Yu An, the princess broke into my bedroom without notification this morning, and asked about my attendant's whereabouts in private, and now she brings people in at will. Oasis Palace, how do you, the big internal manager, do it?" Yu An knelt down on the ground at once, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." How should I explain this matter? Could it be that he watched the Emperor grow up?Said that the emperor has been close to the princess since childhood, and the relationship between siblings has always been very good?In the end, I can only say: "The slave knows his mistake, and he will not dare again in the future." Liu Fuling snorted coldly, "If you know you've made a mistake, you should know how to correct it, why don't you go out?" Yu An got up cautiously, backed out of the room, rubbed the cold sweat on his head, and thought: The emperor is really getting more and more unpredictable. What did the princess offend the emperor? Because the princess said that there is no emperor in the eyes of King Guangling?Because the princess secretly had too many contacts with Huo Guang and Shangguan Jie?Or the absurdity of the princess and Dingwairen? well!No matter how you offend him, if you offend him anyway, the emperor doesn't even have the last person close to him, and he's really going to be lonely. Yu An pointed to the eunuchs and maids guarding outside the palace, and said sullenly: "Come here and be obedient, and call those who are not on duty. From today onwards, the princess is like everyone else, without prior notification, she is not allowed to come here at will. Walk around in the palace. If someone dares to be a favor, you have all heard of my methods. Death is the easiest thing for me. Liushun, you go to the princess to send a message to drive Mr. Zhu out of Ganquan Palace immediately After a while, the princess will come to look for her, and she will say that I am guarding the emperor and cannot leave." Liu Shun asked bitterly: "What if the princess insists on seeing the emperor? The servants are afraid they won't be able to stop it." Yu An sneered, "If you let the emperor meet someone he doesn't want to see, what use are you for?" Xu Pingjun was dreaming, dreaming that the emperor ate the dishes made by Yun Ge, Long Xin was overjoyed, not only rewarded them, but also summoned them, she was holding a gold ingot and laughing when someone woke her up. The eunuch in charge of serving the princess ordered them to pack up their parcels immediately and go down the mountain to go home. Even the carriage was ready for them. Xu Pingjun asked the reason with a smile on his face, but the eunuch didn't give an explanation, and just ordered them to leave immediately with a cold face. Xu Pingjun didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he could only quickly pack his bags. Something unexpected happened, Yun Ge was afraid that Meng Jue would be worried, but he really couldn't find a chance to send news to Meng Jue. He suddenly remembered that he had brought a lot of messy Chinese medicines with him recently, and hurriedly took out from his purse a few pieces of Chinese angelica, the place of birth, and put them next to his bed. on the case.Just two steps away, she tilted her head and smiled, then turned around and put some medicine on the table. "Yun Ge, the princess must have found out that you took advantage of the princess, my gold, my gold." Xu Pingjun wanted to cry but had no tears. Yun Ge felt that Xu Pingjun's guess was wrong, but he couldn't figure out why, so he could only remain silent. "This time it's really a big loss. I was bitten, and I didn't earn a penny." The more Xu Pingjun thought about it, the more he felt miserable. Yun Ge said gloomily, "Don't cry for the time being, think about how you can explain it after seeing your elder brother! I thought I would go back when my injury was better, but now I have to go home, and there is no way to hide it." When Xu Pingjun heard this, he immediately quieted down, frowning and staring blankly. Chang'an city. Shangguan Jie was originally unhappy because the emperor did not let him go to Ganquan Palace with him.At this time, hearing that the emperor was injured on the mountain road, he ordered Huo Guang to entertain the three kings on his behalf, and angrily smashed the wine cup in his hand to the ground. Shangguan An, who wanted to get rid of Huo Guang's control for a long time, immediately took the opportunity to persuade his father to give up the previous festival with King Yan. He might as well pretend to accept King Yan's favor first, and join hands to eradicate Huo Guang. After all, Huo Guang is now the biggest threat to the Shangguan family.Otherwise, if Huo Guang and King Yan join forces to deal with them, the situation will be extremely unfavorable to them. After eradicating Huo Guang and monopolizing the government, it is not difficult to deal with King Yan who lives in Yanbei. As for King Guangling and King Changyi, although the fiefs are rich, one is a reckless man and the other is a lunatic, so there is nothing to worry about. Shangguan Jie was silent in thought. Ever since meeting Meng Jue in the Huo Mansion, Shangguan Jie has spent all his time trying to win him over. Although they talked happily with each other, Meng Jue also secretly revealed the news of his acquaintance with King Yan, and presented him with a great gift on behalf of King Yan, but recently he and Huo Guang got very close. His daughter, Shangguan Lan, has a good impression of Meng Jue, and he is very happy to complete the matter and take Meng Jue for his own use. But although Meng Jue was good to his daughter Shangguan Lan, he also had a close relationship with Huo Chengjun. Indeed, as Shangguan An said, since King Yan could show his favor to them, it is very likely that he is trying to win over Huo Guang.Others are confused by Huo Guang's image of a modest gentleman. He and Huo Guang have been in the same dynasty for more than 30 years, but they know that Huo Guang's methods are more ruthless than him. The first-mover controls others, and the late-mover controls others. Shangguan Jie's mind gradually settled down, but his anger subsided, and he said to Shangguan An very calmly: "We can't just sit around." Ganquan Palace. Huo Guang, who had just sent away the three kings, had no joy in the face of the honor bestowed by the emperor.After dismissing the others, only Meng Jue was left to drink tea. After the two finished drinking a cup of tea, Huo Guang looked at Meng Jue and nodded in satisfaction. Staying at late at night, drinking a cup of tea for half an hour, he didn't say a word, and Meng Jue didn't ask a word. He was not in a hurry, and neither was Meng Jue. Among other things, this composure is beyond the reach of ordinary people. My daughter's vision is indeed good. Whether it is commoner or not is not important at all, his background is not as good as Meng Jue.What's more, for him, who he wants to be an official is now just a matter of one sentence.What matters is how capable this person is, how far he can go, and whether he can be helped. "Meng Jue, what do you think of what happened tonight?" Meng Jue smiled and bowed his back, "This junior is just talking nonsense and making mistakes. I hope Mr. Huo will not be offended. If what happened tonight is reported to Chang'an, I am afraid that Mr. Huo will be in an embarrassing situation. Mr. Huo should plan a countermeasure early." .” Huo Guang stared at Meng Jue with a serious expression, "Do you know who you are talking about?" Meng Jue said respectfully: "The junior is just talking about the facts." Huo Guang was stunned for a while, then his expression suddenly became very sad, "It's just... alas! Although the truth is clear, when thinking of my daughter, I can't be cruel." Can't be cruel?To do the things of a villain, but to establish a reputation as a gentleman.King Yan's hypocrisy is just in case in front of Huo Guang.Meng Jue sneered in his heart, but acted seriously when he was a villain on the face, "Master Huo is an upright gentleman, but you have to guard against villains. After all, Mr. Huo's safety is related to the safety of the Huo family. Now that the society is unstable, we still have to rely on Mr. Huo." .” Huo Guang sighed heavily, feeling very helpless, "People are harmless to tigers, but tigers are harmful to others, so we can only be careful." The conversation changed, and he suddenly asked, "What do you think of the emperor?" Meng Jue smiled calmly on his face, but he hesitated a little in his heart, "It is very likely that he will become a famous emperor in history." Huo Guang stroked his beard and nodded, Meng Jue sat quietly for a while, seeing that Huo Guang had no intention of speaking, he got up and left. The seriousness on Huo Guang's face faded, and he became a little more kind. He smiled and said: "I think Cheng Jun is not in a good mood, and he refuses to say anything when I ask her. You have time to visit her." Meng Jue didn't answer, just smiled and saluted and left the room. The palace walls on both sides of the road are very high, making the sky appear small. Walking on the road that not many people in the world can walk, watching my goal gradually approaching, but everything is not as happy as imagined. Although he knew that it was late and that she had already fallen asleep, he still didn't control his steps. Originally, she just wanted to sit quietly by her window, but unexpectedly saw people leaving the room empty and the couch in disarray. His breathing stopped immediately. Is it King Guangling?Is it Huo Chengjun?still…… When he was in a hurry, he saw three small pieces of herbs on the table: Shengdi, Angelica, and Myrrh. He shook his head and laughed. Not staying is the place of life, homesickness is angelica, and there is no medicine for good health. When did the seasoning in this girl's bag turn into herbs? Meng Jue picked up the herbs on the table with a smile and held them in the palm of her hand.There seemed to be warmth coming, slowly seeping from the palm of the hand to the heart. It suddenly occurred to him that Shengdi and Danggui had already told him where they were going. Since they could go home, it was of course safe, so why put more myrrh? Myrrh?No medicine! There is no cure for lovesickness! Is this what Yun Ge left him?What exactly is she trying to say?Will Yun Ge say the next sentence to him? For the first time, Meng Jue hated the complexity and ambiguity of Chinese characters. After thinking about it left and right, there was no conclusion, so I couldn't help laughing at myself, I thought I would hate the feeling of worrying about gains and losses, but unexpectedly there is a sweetness in it. Holding the herbs in her hands, Meng Jue walked out of the house, only to feel that the sky outside the house was extraordinarily high and the moon was extraordinarily bright. Meng Jue returned to Chang'an, and immediately went to Yun Ge after making arrangements for other matters, wanting to clarify the doubts in her heart. When I got to the door, I found that the courtyard door was half-closed, and there was a ding ding dong dong sound inside. Pushing open the door, seeing black smoke escaping from the kitchen, Meng Jue hurriedly took a bucket of water from the water tank and rushed into the kitchen, pouring it on the stove. Yun Ge screamed and jumped out from the back of the stove, "Who? Who is it?" Looking so angry that he wanted to find someone desperately, he could vaguely see that it was Meng Jue, so he stopped yelling. Meng Jue dragged Yun Ge out of the kitchen, "What are you doing, setting fire to the house?" Yun Ge's face was ashes from the stove, only his teeth were still white, and he said resentfully: "Why don't you come back sooner or later, once you come back, I will spoil my good deeds. I originally planned to take some Fulong liver from the heart of the stove, It was unexpectedly found that there was a colony of termites nesting underneath. This is a good medicine that is rarely seen in a hundred years, so we prepared herbs to fumigate the termites, trying to fumigate them all, but you, you..." Meng Jue smiled wryly, "Are you planning to give up the kitchen to become a doctor? Even the soil that has been baked under the stove for more than ten years is known as Fulong Gan as a medicine? , It is also a good medicine for treating rheumatism, and the termites that grow near the high temperature are more effective. The termite nest you found is in Fulong liver, and it can indeed be sold for a sky-high price. Yunge, when did you know so much about medicine?" Yun Ge still looked unwilling, and said angrily: "Have you never heard that there is a thing called a book in the world? What do you want from me?" Meng Jue didn't answer for a long time, but suddenly smiled and said, "It's nothing. Cat, clean up your face before showing your teeth." Meng Jue dragged Yun Ge to the water basin, and twisted the veil.Yun Ge went to get it, but it was empty, Meng Jue was already supporting her head with one hand, and wiping her face with a towel in the other. Yun Ge's face turned red immediately, and while going to grab the handkerchief, he stammered, "I'll do it myself." Meng Jue let her snatch the handkerchief away, but held her other hand in his hand and looked at her with a smile. Yun Ge couldn't tell whether it was shame or joy, she wanted to pull her hand out, but she was a bit unwilling, so she could only let Meng Jue hold it. He took the veil and dabbed it on his face indiscriminately, not knowing whether he was wiping his face or avoiding Meng Jue's sight. "Okay, if you keep rubbing, your face will be scratched. Let's see if your termites can still be used." Meng Jue didn't let go of Yun Ge's hand, and Yun Ge followed him into the kitchen in a daze. Meng Jue leaned down and took a look inside the stove, "It's all right. A lot of people died, but there should still be some underground. Just call someone to knock down the stove, and dig it down, as much as you can find." When Yun Ge heard it, he immediately patted himself on the forehead with a smile, "Why am I so stupid? Why didn't I think of such a simple, direct, and brutal method at first? It seems that I still didn't do things hard enough!" When Yun Ge was talking, she leaned forward, wanting to check the situation in the kitchen, but Meng Jue wanted to get up, Yun Ge's face bumped into Meng Jue's head, screaming in pain, Meng Jue hurriedly rubbed for her. The kitchen wasn't big in the first place, although the lingering smoke had dissipated at this time, the temperature was still not low, and Yun Ge felt that it was getting hotter. Meng Jue rubbed and suddenly lowered his head slowly, Yun Ge vaguely understood what was going to happen, and only stared at Meng Jue without blinking. Meng Jue's hand brushed her eyes, and her lips seemed to be murmuring with her ears in her mouth, "Silly girl, this is not the first time, and you still don't know how to close your eyes?" Following Meng Jue's gesture, Yun Ge slowly closed her eyes, raised her head halfway, and nervously waited for her second kiss, actually the first kiss. After waiting for a while, Meng Jue didn't move. Yun Ge struggled for a moment between opening and closing her eyes, and decided to take a sneak peek at what Meng Jue was doing. Taking a sneak peek, he saw Liu Bing standing at the door with Xu Pingjun. Meng Jue didn't seem to have any adverse reactions, she was smiling, and stood up unhurriedly, but her arms were still tightly around Yun Ge, but Liu Bingji's smile was very stiff. Liu Bingji and Xu Pingjun's eyes were caught by Yun Ge's peeking through squinted eyes. He felt the blood rushing to his forehead, and was so ashamed that he wanted to faint immediately. He pushed Meng Jue away and jumped aside, "I, I... ..." But "I" couldn't come out, simply said nothing, lowered his head, and strode past Liu Bingji and Xu Pingjun, "I'm going to buy vegetables." Before he was discharged from the hospital, he turned his head in a hurry, not daring to look Meng Jue in the eye, and only yelled, "Meng Jue, you also have to stay for dinner. Well, as long as you are in Chang'an from now on, you will come to my place for dinner. Remember!" After saying that, he immediately jumped out of the yard. Xu Pingjun joked with a smile: "Brother Meng, do you hear me? Now I'm going to listen to you." Meng Jue smiled slightly, "Is your arm healed?" Xu Pingjun winked immediately, "The medicine you gave is miraculous, even Yunge is alive and kicking, and my injury has healed early. You go in and sit down! I'll make you some tea." Meng Jue understood, and instead of mentioning the injury, Liu Bingji only chatted with Meng Jue. Xu Pingjun felt relieved and turned around to fetch water to make tea. Liu Bing had already waited for Xu Pingjun to leave the house, and suppressed his smile, "How did they get hurt? Tell me that they were accidentally bitten by a wild animal in the mountains." Meng Jue said: "The king of Guangling let the dogs eat them, and was rescued by Liu He, the king of Changyi. The eldest son is Liu He's matter, Mr. Ping should have mentioned it to you." Liu Bingji's gaze darkened, and Meng Jue said flatly, "You should be able to understand Mr. Ping's efforts to lie to you. Of course, she shouldn't underestimate your intelligence and character." Liu Bing had just sat silently. Xu Pingjun came in with tea, Liu Bingji and Meng Jue both looked at her with normal smiles, she put down the tea with a smile, and said to Meng Jue, "Use my kitchen to cook at night, I don't dare to eat it from Yunge's kitchen. The food has come out. During this time, she has been cooking in it every day. If it weren't for seeing you two doing well, I would have thought Yun Ge was refining poison to kill Miss Huo's family." Meng Jue smiled faintly, and didn't respond to Xu Pingjun's half-joking, half-testing. He just asked, "Is anyone sick? I don't think Yun Ge looks like cooking, but more like trying to use medicine for food." Xu Pingjun saw that Liu was sick, and shook his head blankly, "No one is sick! You talk slowly, I'll go and light the stove first, and you guys come over together when Yunge comes back." Liu Bing already looked at a set of Go in the corner of Yunge's bookshelf, got up and took it over, "Are you interested?" Meng Jue took the chessboard with a smile, "There's nothing to do anyway." After guessing the ball, Liu Bing had already played the white first, and he said while placing the ball, "You seem to know me well?" Meng Jue immediately followed, "I understand better than you think." "A friend's understanding? An enemy's understanding?" "Originally an enemy, but after seeing you in such a state of desperation, I became two or three friends, seven or eight enemies, and I don't know from now on." The speed of the two people's moves is extremely fast, and with the effort of speaking, Liu Bingji's white chess has already occupied the triangle, the layout is rigorous, and they are fighting for the territory at a glance. Although Meng Jue's black chess only occupies a corner, the whole chess is like a flying dragon, the dragon's head hits the enemy's belly directly, forming a solitary posture that goes straight forward and has no room for maneuver. The speed of Liu Bingji's moves slowed down, but Meng Jue still thought that Liu Bingji had made one move, and he made the move immediately. "Meng Jue, your chess style is very different from your personal style, or it should be said that your usual behavior is just a layer of illusion that you want others to see." "To each other, to each other. Isn't your indifference and self-willed heroism also another person?" Meng Jue smiled lightly, and easily dropped another child. Liu Bing had already tapped the chess pieces, thinking about his next move, "I always felt that it wasn't that I was smart enough to see through you, but that you didn't bother to spend any effort to hide it from me. You have always been hostile to me, not because of Yun Ge, after all Why?" Seeing that Liu Bingji was still thinking about what to do, Meng Jue simply picked up the teacup and sipped slowly, "Liu Bingji, you just need to remember that your experience is nothing to be pitiful, and there are many people who are more pitiful than you. When you are suffering, In the dark, there are people who are desperately defending you, but some people have nothing." The chess piece in Liu Bingji's hand fell to the ground, and he looked up at Meng Jue, "What do you mean by that?" Meng Jue smiled faintly, "Maybe one day I will tell you when we become enemies or friends." Liu Bing already looked at Meng Jue thoughtfully, picked up the chess pieces, and put them on the board. Meng Jue was still holding the teacup in one hand, and dropped the sunspot easily with the other. After Yun Ge entered, he stood beside them and looked at them for a while. He knew it was just a game, but the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, and he suddenly reached out to disturb the chessboard, "Don't play, it's just right now that the teams are evenly matched. Appetite." After finishing speaking, he went out of the house and walked towards the kitchen, "Sister Xu will definitely not want to use my kitchen, let's go to the eldest brother's house, you two go first, I still need to get some things." Liu Bing had lazily stood up and stretched his waist, "Next time we have a chance to compete again." Meng Jue smiled: "There are many opportunities." Liu Bing had seen Yun Gezuan groping around in the kitchen, and said softly to Meng Jue, "No matter what you have experienced, you have always been qualified to fight for everything you want. Even if you are dissatisfied, you can at least go all out and fight against the heavens." One game. But I can do nothing, I can’t fight if I want to fight, I can’t retreat if I want to retreat, I don’t even have the right to give up, because my life is not entirely my own, I can only wait for God arrangement." He looked at Meng Jue, "Meng Jue, is Yun Ge what you really want? Yun Ge may be a little naive and self-willed, and some don't understand how difficult things are in the world and people's hearts are complicated, but he understands the hardships of life, step by step There are too many people who are calculating, I would rather see her smiling all day without worrying about the world." Meng Jue's eyes fixed on Yun Ge, and she stood silently. Yun Ge looked up and saw them, and smiled sweetly.The smile is clean and bright, coupled with the leisurely look between the eyebrows and eyes, just like the orchids in the empty valley and the clouds in the distant mountains. Liu Bingji said solemnly: "I hope you don't let the pearl get dusty." Yun Ge carried the basket out of the kitchen, "Why are you two still standing here?" Meng Jue smiled warmly, walked quickly a few steps, and took the basket from Singer Yun, "Waiting for you to go together." Yun Ge blushed slightly, and walked quietly beside Meng Jue. Liu Bing has quickened his pace and gradually overtook them, "I'll go back and see if Mr. Ping wants to help."
