Chapter 837
In the winter afternoon, sunlight fell on the man's face through the window lattice.

He wears thin armor, and his downcast Danfeng eyes are gentle and affectionate.

After playing with the pearl hairpin for a while, he said lightly, "Please come in."

A quarter of an hour later, he raised his eyes to the girl who stepped into the threshold.

She is 16 years old, taller than when she left Chang'an City.

I haven't seen her for a year, but she looks even better when she comes out, and she is not much less worried than the world-recognized beauty Huayue Ji...

The tenderness in the phoenix eyes was almost overflowing, he got up, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Xiaojiu."

Su Jiu lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, and bowed to him.

She didn't even look at the man directly until she was seated.

Because the man's eyes were too hot and pure, in contrast, her purpose of coming here was too despicable.

Xie Rongjing signaled the maidservant to serve tea, staring at her with a smile and said: "The tea in the northwest is a bit rough, not as fine as Chang'an...I can't imagine what kind of life you have lived here this past year."

Su Jiu sipped hot tea lightly, but didn't answer.

Xie Rongjing tapped the table lightly with his fingertips.

For the past year, he has been sleeping day and night, thinking about the girl in front of him day and night.

Worrying about her poor life, worrying that she doesn't have enough money, worrying that she doesn't buy new dresses during the holidays, worrying that she will be laughed at by other girls...

The girl he hides on the tip of his heart deserves all the glory.

Danfeng's eyes were moist, and he looked at Su Jiu inch by inch.

The girl is still thin, like a bony and sick plum.

The wide cloak made her so weak that it seemed that any gust of cold wind could sweep her up into the sky.

Xiao Tingchen is good at fighting, and his martial arts and martial arts are all top-notch.

He can be an emperor with power over the world, and can bring the people a healthy and prosperous life, but he is by no means a qualified husband, let alone bring Su Xiaojiu real stability and happiness.

However, Xiaojiu chose him...

There was a dense pain in his heart like a needle prick, and he whispered softly: "I don't know why Xiaojiu came here this time? If I came here for Xiao Tingchen, I would definitely not agree to any of your requests. If you ask me for yourself, everyone If you ask for something, I will pour out all the world, and I will definitely agree."

The man's voice is clear and clear, like knocking on gold and jade.

But there is a bit of deepness that has been brewed over the years, and the emotion in Danfeng's eyes is the kind of affection that no actor can play.

Su Jiu still lowered his head.

Her thin white hands were wrung together uneasily, and her voice was very soft: "Dayong has swallowed Beiliang, and he is now the overlord of the northwest. Xie Rongjing, I am his queen. You know why I came here."

Clouds obscured the daylight.

The light and shadow in the hall gradually became dizzy, half of the man's face was flickering, and his thin lips were tightly pursed, revealing strong reluctance.

After a while, he smiled, "You want me to surrender to Xiao Tingchen with 50 soldiers and horses."

"Yes." Su Jiu raised his eyes slowly, his gaze was particularly firm, "Many people in Dayong's army are from Qi, and they are even related to your soldiers. If you let them fight, then the superior How cruel?"

"That's not something I want to consider." Xie Rongjing said coldly, "If Xiao Tingchen worked peacefully in Liangzhou, how could he be in this situation today? He is the one who set off the flames of war in the world, Su Xiaojiu, you should persuade him Qi surrendered."

Su Jiu took another sip of tea, "You know the temperament of those in power in Chang'an, Qi State. They would rather cede land and seek peace and bow down to Beiliang, rather than start a war to defend the territory and the people...to be loyal to such an emperor , to maintain such an aristocratic family, Xie Rongjing, is this your ambition?"

Xie Rongjing was silent.

Back then when Beiliang went south, the court officials quarreled a lot.

The old family headed by the Xue family demanded to avoid the war and seek peace, while the young dignitaries headed by him passionately demanded to fight.

But the new emperor's coming to court is like playing games. One day, the Zhang family's daughter is appointed as a concubine, and the next day, the Li family's daughter is selected as a nobleman. It has no intention of governing the country at all.

In the end, the emperor made a decision and chose to avoid the war and seek peace.

He was angry.

but……

This does not mean that he is willing to surrender to Xiao Tingchen.

The hall was silent for half an hour, he said with a smile: "We haven't seen each other for a year, and it's not easy for each other. I have ordered the backyard to prepare good food and wine, and it happened that Zhou Fengxian and Mo Shisan were also there, and we classmates gathered together Get together, lively and lively."

Su Jiu frowned lightly.

She stared at Xie Rongjing, clearly capturing the cautiousness in his eyes.

She knows him.

Maybe he used to be despicable, but in his bones he was still glorious.

Obviously not waiting to see the new emperor, yet still serving in his court...

She whispered: "Xie Rongjing, you shouldn't be like this."

"Then what should I do?" The man smiled, "Su Xiaojiu, I don't have Xiao Tingchen's ambition to conquer the world, and I don't have the grand ambition of helping the world and saving people like the head of the house. I have always been a dude. ambition, then from beginning to end, my ambition is you."

Su Jiu's small hands in the wide sleeves suddenly tightened.

She got up with a cold face, and stepped out of the hall expressionlessly.

The guards standing outside the fan stopped her.

Su Jiu turned around, Xie Rongjing sipped hot tea slowly, "It's rare for you to come to my side, there's absolutely no reason to just sit and go. I let you go before, but it doesn't mean I will let you go every time."

"Xie Rongjing!" Su Jiu said hoarsely.

Xie Rongjing lowered his eyes, "Put her in my bedroom."

Su Jiu struggled and was taken away, Xie Rongjing sat alone in the hall, his face paler than the sunlight.

The fingertips holding the teacup trembled slightly, and he threw the teacup on the ground in annoyance, pinching his brows in discomfort.

He didn't want to force Su Xiaojiu...

He didn't want things to evolve to this point...

But she is the woman he dreams of, she finally came to him, how could he let her go?

How could he let her go? !

wing.

Hearing the sound of the lock being locked outside, Su Jiu lost his temper for no reason, and angrily overturned the ancient shelf. Seeing the antique jade wares shattered all over the floor, he seemed still unresponsive, and even messed up the screen and the bed.

She sat down at the round table and drank two cups of hot tea to calm herself down.

Xie Rongjing still hides kindness in his bones, which is completely different from the aristocratic families in Chang'an City who are greedy for comfort.

If one fails twice, if twice fails three times, she can always persuade Xie Rongjing to surrender!
It will be late.

Xie Rongjing stepped into the bedroom and saw a mess everywhere.

He motioned for the maid to come in and clean it up before he lifted his robe and sat down on the couch.

He stared at Su Jiu's slender back, "Xiao Jiu, although I, Xie Rongjing, am a dude, I have a scale in my heart, and I can tell who is more suitable to be the emperor of the world, Xiao Tingchen or Yuan Sheng. Without you, I would be willing to bow down to Xiao Tingchen But you are his queen, why do you want me to bow down to him willingly? It's not impossible to be loyal to Dayong. It's just that Xiao Tingchen may not be willing to give what I want, and you Su Jiu may not be willing to give it."
