"What?" Ou Suiliang asked in surprise, not daring to believe his ears. Sima Duran could only smile brightly, but looked sad.
"My brother and uncle are still worried. They have to marry Yi Huaiyu in order to completely trust me. But he is infatuated with that girl Su, what can I do? It's better to marry you, my 'confidant general',"
The deputy with no bright future can not only make my brother and uncle feel at ease, but also not make me feel too wronged, isn't it the best of both worlds?"
"If it's really the best of both worlds, why do you have to show such an expression?" Ou Suiliang blurted out without hesitation.
He could clearly see the weakness and sorrow hidden under the strong appearance from the beginning, so he cared more about Su Shiyun, who seemed to have thorns all over her body, but who was more beautiful in her bones than Su Shiyun, who came from a humble background but was favored by Yi Huaiyu.
They are all infatuated and kind-hearted women.
Turning around and closing the door, Ou Suiliang walked to the bed, hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand and gently placed it on Sima Duran's head.
"Don't just hand your happiness over to others. When you find out it's not worth it, it will be too late."
Just this sentence, and then there is nothing else to say.
What can I say? Tell her clearly not to force herself to marry someone she doesn't like for the sake of Yi Huaiyu's great cause? Even if she does, she won't give up, and he can't do such a thing that would harm Yi Huaiyu.
Regarding Huaiyu's future. Ou Suiliang never considered himself a clean and good person, but he had his own principles and would not betray Yi Huaiyu. This was the prerequisite for all decisions.
He left the room without saying goodbye to Sima Tulan. When Ou Suiliang stepped out of the quiet farmyard, Yi Huaiyu was leaning against the wall in a daze out of boredom.
"She asked me to go to the General's Mansion to propose marriage, in order to keep the two great helpers of General Sima and Lord Yao for you." When passing by Yi Huaiyu, Ou Suiliang kept his eyes straight and spoke in an understatement.
Yi Huaiyu seemed a little confused, and it took him a moment to realize: "She knows everything?"
"What a smart person, how can you keep it a secret? Even if you can't see through everything, you can still understand that we are acting. Fortunately, she is tolerant enough for you, and she is still willing to help you if you cause such a dangerous thing. If it were anyone else, she would have been intimidated.
Already."
"Just say what you want to say, there's no need to beat around the bush." Yi Huaiyu's face did not have the relaxed expression he was used to seeing in the past, but was replaced by a kind of solemnity and dissatisfaction, "I know you didn't want me to be with you from the beginning.
With Yun'er, she has no status, no noble status, and can't give me the power backing I need. But Suiliang, you don't understand at all. When you like someone, you can tolerate everything about her, even if it takes a lot of time and energy to pave the way.
Ping is the path you want to take. Yes, when it comes to my wife Tu'er, she is the best candidate. If I don't marry her, I may attract suspicion or even betrayal from Sima Yuan and Yao Junxian, but I am willing to take a risk for Yun'er, and I will bet on Tu'er.
Will you help me?"
Such a straightforward conversation is very common between Ou Suiliang and Yi Huaiyu, but this time, Ou Suiliang couldn't accept it, so he could only deliberately look away to prevent Yi Huaiyu from seeing the coldness in his eyes.
"You're betting on her feelings for you."
"I know, I also know that this is despicable and shameless." After a moment of pause, Yi Huaiyu took a deep breath and then said, "I can't be fair to everyone. If I want to achieve my goal, I must hurt Tu'er.
One of them is Yun'er. Yun'er is not as strong as Tu'er. The suffering she has endured for so many years may be something Tu'er could never imagine in her life. I don't want to see her continue to get hurt, so I can only choose to feel sorry for Tu'er. As for this
I will do everything I can to make up for the love debt."
There was a sudden silence between the two of them. They were face to face, so close, but they couldn't figure out each other's thoughts.
Nothing will never change, so what if we have known each other since childhood? Aren't we still holding our own minds now? Ou Suiliang suddenly felt discouraged. Looking at the friends he had known for many years, he always felt a little strange.
.
"We'll talk about these things later. Let's deal with the immediate problem first - the eldest brother seems to be more anxious than I expected. He has made me suffer so much, so I should repay the gift." A ruthless sneer appeared on the corner of Yi Huaiyu's mouth.
, patted Ou Suiliang on the shoulder, and the confident second prince of Yaoguo tried his best to express his trust.
From the corner of his eye, he caught the unnatural feeling at the moment when Yi Huaiyu's palm fell, and occasionally Suiliang chuckled, plain but tasteless.
"Miss Sima said that when His Highness was hiding in the cave, he suspected that I would betray him?"
His steady steps suddenly froze.
There will always be some despair and complaint in times of danger, but no matter what, it is shameful to say something that doubts a close friend for many years. Yi Huaiyu didn't know how to answer Ou Suiliang's question for a while, and the inexplicable embarrassment and panic took away his wit, or maybe
It's because I'm ashamed and can't even speak out.
"I'm just asking casually, I don't mean anything else. No matter what Your Highness thinks in your heart, I will support Your Highness as always, life or death." Ou Suiliang waved his hand, and then walked away from Yi Huaiyu.
At this point, Ou Suiliang can be sure that time has changed not only the mountains and rivers, but also more nostalgic things that will never return.
The team that came to the rescue did not stay in Yangcun for too long. After Sima Dulan could walk, they set off to escort her to the southern border. Yi Huaiyu knew his father on the throne. If he reported that he was not pursued because of someone's betrayal,
If he can successfully go to the southern border to fulfill the emperor's mission, the only result he can get is to be punished.
The horses carrying the injured passed through the vast grasslands and rolling rivers. During the long journey, Sima Duran changed his arrogant temper and became submissive and quiet. Even when he was resting, he no longer pestered Yi Huaiyu. Instead, he met Ou Suiliang.
The contact gradually increased. Yi Huaiyu understood her thoughts and ignored her. He talked and laughed as usual, and there was a gentleness between his brows.
When Yi Huaiyu and others appeared at the Guang garrison camp in the southern border area, Xu Yi, who arrived first, almost dropped his jaw to the ground. Yi Huaiyu himself and Sima Tulan testified that he could not escape the charge of rebellion even if he wanted to.
In fact, Xu Yi also planned a way out, but when he saw Lin Dutong following Yi Huaiyu and Suiliang waiting outside the door with his armor and sword, Xu Yi had to give up the idea of escape and obediently put on the shackles and surrendered.
.
If they are a perfect match, what's the use of escaping? In terms of bravery and martial arts, no one in the army can be Ou Suiliang's opponent.
The rebellion that plotted against each other was quickly ended before the war. When the news of the great victory in the battle with Zhao State was returned to the imperial capital, Xu Yi and a group of people had already died, leaving only a confession stamped with fingerprints, pointing the finger.
Prince.
This overt and covert fight ended in Yi Huaiyu's victory. Thinking about the fact that he would most likely see the crown prince's tired look and his father's angry expression when he returned home, Yi Huaiyu was in a really happy mood. He found several generals who were secretly helping him and had a drink with Ou Suiliang and others.
Ichiban, but he didn't know that it was this meal that was the beginning of the plan's failure to change.
