Chapter 188

Shu Liang expressed his satisfaction with the upper body effect of the new clothes. He ate the washed fruit with a smile, and looked at the slightly embarrassed boy: "It seems that I have a good eye. This clothes really looks good."

Li Yan pursed his lips slightly.

Soon, I heard her say again: "Xiao Yan looks better in clothes."

The corners of his lips could not help but rise, he blinked and said softly: "Thank you, General, for the reward."

Shu Liang smiled, "Well, hurry up and wear more these few days."

Li Yan was a little hesitant: "...What do you mean by the general's words?"

Shu Liang said: "Tomorrow, Your Majesty will order me to lead the army to go out in seven days, and you will go with me."

……So fast?

Li Yan was slightly surprised, and nodded calmly, "Yes."

After pondering for a moment, Shu Liang confessed again: "Swords and swords have no eyes on the battlefield, you have to be careful."

Li Yan nodded, as if there was a warm current in his heart, he said softly: "Okay, the general should take care of himself."

into the night.

The room was pitch black, and there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the window.

Shu Liang, who was in a deep sleep, suddenly opened his eyes, with clear eyes, quietly staring at the slender figure that appeared outside the window.

The man quietly stopped outside her window, motionless.

what's the situation?
After being woken up in the middle of the night, Shu Liang was a little irritable. After waiting for a while, the man still didn't move. She couldn't help getting up and putting on her coat, walked to the window, and suddenly pulled it away——

Facing Shang Wen Congli's smiling face.

Wen Congli was still wearing the clothes they wore when they parted, and I don't know if he felt that the official clothes were too sleepy to change, or he was too hasty to change in time.

In addition to the official uniform, he also wore a black cloak, which made his complexion even fairer.

He didn't seem surprised by her initiative to open the window, looked at her with a smile, and said warmly: "I wanted to wait until your meal to say goodbye to you, but unfortunately it was destined to be delayed."

"..."

Shu Liang felt that this person was simply inexplicable, they were clearly not familiar with each other, why did they come here in the middle of the night to disturb people's dreams, and still look reluctant to part?

Wen Congli lowered his eyes slightly, the curvature of the corners of his lips remained unchanged, but there was no smile in his eyes, and he seemed a little lonely: "Your Majesty ordered me to leave in three days, but a sudden message came not long ago, asking me to leave tonight."

"……Oh."

In order not to appear too indifferent, so as not to make him change his mind and not send her any news, Shu Liang added: "Take care all the way."

It's a pity that the voice is flat, without any ups and downs, and it sounds insincere.

Wen Congli is so smart, how could he fail to hear her perfunctory?
He was a little helpless, sighed silently, suddenly took off the jade pendant around his waist, and handed it to her through the window.

Shu Liang frowned slightly, but didn't answer.

Meeting her questioning gaze, he said gently, "How about taking this as a token of our alliance?"

A gust of wind blew over, blowing a strand of black hair from the tip of his hair, and a faint fragrance of orchids floated in the air.

Shu Liang lowered his head slightly, his eyes fell on the jade pendant in his palm.

The top-quality white jade is engraved with patterns of Phalaenopsis orchids, and the red string is woven into a beautiful safety knot. There is also a string of tassels under the jade pendant, which looks exquisite and precious.

Shu Liang only glanced at it, and said directly: "Miss Wen, this jade pendant is too expensive, it's not suitable."

A non-negotiable tone.

Wen Congli's face was slightly stagnant, his five fingers were slightly tightened, and his seemingly warm smile showed flaws for the first time: "As a general, Wen doesn't think it's inappropriate."

Shu Liang's face remained unchanged, and his eyes were particularly cold in the night: "First of all, we have different positions and identities, and it is not appropriate to form an alliance with jade."

Before Wen Congli could speak, she said again: "Secondly, Prime Minister Wen, I don't remember any friendship with you. It is very suspicious that you suddenly showed affection. It is even more suspicious to visit my general's mansion in the middle of the night without permission."

After a pause, she suddenly hooked her lips, looked him from head to toe with insightful eyes, and said firmly, "You actually know martial arts, right?"

Wen Congli's face froze, his fingertips turned white: "I..."

Shu Liang raised her hand, signaling him not to speak.

"Don't rush to deny it. I can say it, which means I have full confidence. Of course, I don't care why you pretend you don't know martial arts in front of others, and you don't have to tell me."

The night in the Mansion of General Zhen Guo was really too quiet.

It was so quiet that his own breathing sounded in his ears, and so quiet that Wen Congli could hear his heartbeat out of balance.

Then, when he heard the woman in front of him who he thought he could handle, she said to him in an almost cold tone: "The last point, I never promised to form an alliance with you. Tell me the news, and if you don't want to, I won't force you."

...she said, never promised to ally with him.

Such a resolute tone, without even the slightest room for negotiation, drew a clear boundary between him and her.

A boundary that does not allow him to approach her.

This is probably the hardest nail he has encountered in so many years.

Fu Jinglan seems to be a soft-spoken person, but in fact, she is very defensive, especially when facing him...

Thinking of this, Wen Congli felt a little dazed.

Had he ever done something to offend her?

Wen Congli searched his mind, but he couldn't remember when he had dealt with Fu Jinglan and offended her.

The feeling of being ignorant and unable to act like this is not pleasant, which makes Wen Congli feel extremely passive.

He suppressed the impatience in his heart, sighed slowly, and seemed a little helpless: "Well, although I don't know what I did wrong to make you reject people thousands of miles away, I hope you believe that I am Those who are sincerely allied with you, no matter when you think about it and change your mind, I welcome you to open your heart to me at any time."

"..." Don't worry, you won't wait until that day.

In the quiet night, suddenly there was the cry of partridges.

Shu Liang narrowed his eyes.

Wen Congli turned his head, glanced in the direction of the gate of the mansion, and said solemnly: "I heard that you will leave for Qibei in seven days. I will say goodbye today. I don't know when we will see you again. The journey is far away and the battlefield is dangerous. I hope you will take care of it."

Out of politeness, Shu Liang nodded: "You too."

He turned and left, his figure getting farther and farther away, and finally melted into the night.

Shu Liang clearly saw that Wen Congli was standing under the high wall, he took an easy step, and climbed up. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.

...In Fu Jinglan's memory, she didn't know that Wen Congli knew martial arts at all. She always thought that he was a resourceful and frail scholar.

Shu Liang was thoughtful.

Since Fu Jinglan doesn't know, does Mu Xuanyi, who is closer to Wen Congli, know?

Interesting if he doesn't know.
