Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 2299 That Night
"Mr. Zhaohua, I'm leaving."

Li Ji stood at the door of the cold palace, quietly watching Yao's female officer walking alone into the night.

She was gone, leaving him alone.

Li Ji walked back to Lenggong and sat down on the stone.

He has lived alone since he was born, and he has long been used to loneliness.But since meeting Zhao Guang and Li Zhao, they have rarely stayed alone in the past few years.

Especially in the past half a year when he met Ying Baoyue, he has lived a lively life that he has never had before.

Once a person gets used to the days when there are many people around him, and then returns to one person, it is so difficult to adapt.

Li Ji sat on the cold stone, looking towards the empty side.

Because of what Ms. Yao said, he finally mentioned Ying Baoyue, and at the same time thought of those who were traveling with her.

It was impossible for him to forget, and escaping could not make him forget those people, let alone those hot times.

The question about relatives made Li Ji think of the person who stayed in Soochow even after a long absence.

I don't know if he guards Soochow alone, whether it is safe or not.

"Zhao... Muren."

Li Ji spoke in a low voice.

From the lessons learned from the Northern Wei Dynasty and the former Qin Dynasty, it can be seen that Xirong's influence has penetrated into the Six Kingdoms for many years, and it is only waiting to show its minions.

The overall situation that Mr. Yunzhong spent decades laying out has reached the final stage.

As one of the three great powers, Soochow could not be ignored by the Buddhist monastery.I am afraid that the secret work hidden in Soochow's country has also begun to do it at this time.

Maybe already started.

Li Ji held the cold hilt of the Juque Sword, feeling complicated.

As the highest level cultivator in Soochow, he should have stayed in the country at this time, at least he should have rushed back to the country as soon as he knew the situation was wrong.

This is the responsibility of practitioners, to be supported by the people of the country, and to stand up at critical moments.

Soochow does not have the protection of the beast god, and the national teacher has already retreated. So far, nothing has happened to the royal family, all relying on Zhao Muren's personal ability.

Zhao Muren is extremely capable as a king, but he is not omnipotent.As long as the realm has not reached the extreme, he will be more or less unable to guard against the methods of practitioners.

No one knows how long Zhao Muren can last alone.

Li Ji's fist on his knee was slowly clenched.

There are no other direct royal families in Soochow now.

Zhao Guang and others are in Xirong, and Zhao Mu has no heirs.

Once something happened to Zhao Muren, the entire court would immediately fall into turmoil.

Li Ji closed his eyes, his mouth was astringent.

"Please, hold on."

If he guessed correctly, Ji Jiashu and the others should be preparing to return to their own country in the near future.As long as they are good enough practitioners, they can perceive the changes in the world situation.

According to some information he overheard before, countries such as the Middle Tang, Northern Wei, and Later Liao have already issued edicts to call high-level practitioners back to their country.

But neither Zhao Muren nor Dongfang Yi issued an edict to him.

Li Ji knew he should go back, but he couldn't.

Zhao Muren didn't force him to go back either.

Li Ji stood up, walked to the window, and the tall figure appeared in front of his eyes.

Every time he was ordered to enter the palace to meet Dan, Zhao Muren always stood by the window.

Li Ji didn't know what Zhao Muren was looking at.

The supreme position is too lonely, is he waiting for someone to come to his side?

Li Ji closed his eyes.

Not long after the king of the Northern Wei Dynasty escaped from death, there was a mountain ghost in the Hou Liao, Ji Mo in the Southern Chu, and Song Zhai, the Qionghua Lord in the Middle Tang Dynasty. Leaving aside the former King Qin, Zhao Muren was the most dangerous among the remaining five kings.

King?
Through the thick and dark night, Li Ji looked towards the direction of Ying Han's bedroom.

He needs to speed up his plan, and can't delay in this place for too long.

I am not the mountain, I am the mountain.

A glint of light flashed in the dark night, Li Ji passed the window and swept into the depths of Efang Palace.

Just as he tiptoed over the place where Ms. Yao had just left, a vague idea appeared in his mind.

Speaking of which, where did his hair tie go eight years ago?

……

……

Eight years ago, that night.

Ying Baoyue sat quietly on the steps, watching Xiao Li Ji roast oranges in the middle of the yard.

If she could, she hoped this day would never come.But she also knew that it was impossible for her to hide in her memory for a lifetime.

Ying Baoyue stared at the small figure sitting by the fire. She was familiar with another tall and thin figure, but these days, she didn't know when her eyes were full of this small figure.

Some people, look at one less.

Ying Baoyue's heart ached slightly.

Xiao Li Ji, who was sitting by the firepit, noticed the sight behind him, thought that Ying Baoyue was waiting anxiously, and anxiously turned the orange skewers on the firepit a few times, "Sister, don't worry, it will be roasted soon! "

"No," Ying Baoyue shook his head, "I'm not in a hurry."

She hoped these oranges would never be baked.

"Sister, it's ready!"

The fruit beside the fire exudes a tempting fragrance. Xiao Li Ji happily picked off the burnt oranges with the outer skin, blew on them, and held them eagerly in front of Ying Baoyue, "Eat them quickly!"

The two had already had dinner, but because she coughed twice, Xiao Li Ji proposed to roast oranges.

Ying Baoyue peeled off the hot orange and put it in her mouth.

"Is it sweet?" Xiao Li Ji looked at her with bright eyes.

Ying Baoyue nodded, "Sweet."

She will always remember this sweetness.

Ying Baoyue finished eating all the oranges, and looked up at Xiao Li Ji, "By the way, have you decided what birthday gift you want?"

Today is the day before Zhao Guang's birthday, and it is also the birthday that Xiao Li Ji set for himself.

This was also the day he was taken away, and she picked him up shortly after he was taken away a year ago.

When Ying Baoyue asked him before, Xiao Liji said that he had to think about it again, and it should be almost done now.

However, she already knew what he would say.

"Well, birthday gift," Xiao Li Ji muttered, "I don't have anything I want...that's right!"

Xiao Li Ji looked at Ying Baoyue with burning eyes, and half-jokingly said the answer she already knew.

"Sleep with me tonight?"

This is a proposal he has made countless times and has been rejected countless times.Ying Baoyue knew that when Xiao Li Ji said this, she didn't think that she could get what she wanted this time, but just made a joke between them.

However, he would not know that she wanted to satisfy him.

Ying Baoyue patted her knees and stood up, speaking calmly.

"Okay."

This was the last night between her and him. She wanted to fulfill all his wishes and engrave his eyebrows into her heart.

With a "click", just as she remembered, Xiao Li Ji looked at her in shock, and was so shocked that the wooden sword in his hand fell off.

"elder sister?"

Seeing the surprised look of this kid, Ying Baoyue smiled helplessly, "Isn't this your request?"

"But haven't you always refused before?"

But tonight, I want to promise you.

Xiao Li Ji looked at her with a red face, and suddenly began to untie the hairband on his head in a hurry, "Could it be that sister, have you decided to promise me?"

Ying Baoyue stared at the blue hairband, she understood what he meant, but she closed her eyes and said softly.

"Promise what? I don't understand, what are you doing with your hair?"
