He whispered a few words to an attendant behind him.
The follower's expression did not change at all, but there was also a look of deep shock in his eyes.
He quietly left Wei Rui's side.
When Wei Rui said something to the people who greeted him, and soon after entering the inn, the attendant led the little girl into the inn and arrived in front of Wei Rui.
The officials and other personnel of the post station were all invited out. These people respected Wei Rui very much, so naturally they would not have any unpleasant feelings. Moreover, they knew very well that people like Wei Rui were the real pillars of the Southern Dynasty. For such a person, no matter how hard it was, they would not feel unhappy.
Small things are also big things.
This is a little girl who looks a little haggard.
There were no weapons on her body, and her expression was very quiet. However, even this follower felt that this girl was in danger, so he did not leave even after bringing the girl.
Wei Rui sat down behind him.
"Let's eat together."
Wei Rui ordered the steaming food and wine on the table, looked at the girl, and said calmly: "You are a visitor from afar. Luoyang is very far from here, and it is not easy for you to get here."
"Have you guessed who I am?" Yuan Yan's eyes also flashed with awe. She was sure that Wei Rui had not known her whereabouts before, but he was able to guess her at a glance.
Who is.
"People who are far away from home often have the aura of people who are far away from home, and it is even more different for people like you who are burdened with their home and country."
Wei Rui looked at Yuan Yan, stretched out his chopsticks to help her pick up some vegetables, and watched her eat slowly. Then while drinking the meat soup, he asked: "It's just that I thought you would go find Lin Yi."
Yuan Yan smiled. There was loneliness in her smile, but more of it was pride, "You should understand that people like me can't do what they want."
"That's natural."
Wei Rui said seriously: "It's more about responsibility and burden, or sacrifice."
"It was an accident that I left the Northern Wei Dynasty, but soon I realized that it was inevitable."
Yuan Yan ate the food seriously and said seriously: "Actually, even if the members of the Demon Sect don't find out about my relationship with Lin Yi, the Demon Sect will rebel sooner or later.
In the Southern Dynasty, if he wants to eat meat, he must eat the biggest piece. He has been waiting for the opportunity to eat the Queen Mother of the Southern Dynasty. So when he rebels and returns to the Southern Dynasty, I should also come to the Southern Dynasty."
At this point, she paused.
Her chopsticks paused for a moment, then she picked up a piece of meat for Wei Rui, and then continued slowly: "I know Lin Yi, and according to what I think, if I have to ask for help from someone in the Southern Dynasty, it is natural to ask him.
, but he and the Emperor of the Southern Dynasty cannot reconcile. My brother wants to join forces with the Emperor of the Southern Dynasty to deal with the Demon Sect, and you are the best candidate to bring them together."
"It's really amazing." Wei Rui said sincerely.
"It's not me, it's my imperial brother who is so powerful." Yuan Yan looked at Wei Rui and said, "It's just that he knows the Demon Sect better than anyone else. He knows that the Demon Sect will definitely cause chaos in the Southern Dynasties, but even he didn't think that the Demon Sect would be in trouble.
Zong is actually able to kill all the most holy people in the world."
"I didn't expect that either." After Wei Rui took off his armor, he looked more like an ordinary old man. He didn't need to hide any of his emotions now, so he seemed even more lonely when he was depressed.
"Our emperor did not expect that according to his original idea, if the disciple He Xiuxian was successfully killed, the next person to be eliminated would be the Demon Sect. In this way, the biggest instability would only be Lin Yi.
If Lin Yi sends troops to attack, he will become a real rebel. If Lin Yi separats the party, the direct threat to the Southern Dynasty will be less than that of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Next, he can use thunderous means to defeat the Northern Wei Dynasty in one fell swoop, and then solve the problem slowly.
Party matters."
Wei Rui smiled bitterly, "Even if I had seen it before, there was no particularly serious problem with this plan. Invincible is invincible. The Empress Dowager alone is enough to decide the outcome of the war. If she were to conquer it in person, not only would the Northern Wei Dynasty be defeated, but also
It can quickly win back people's hearts. Any opinion is nothing in the face of the true unification of the north and the south. However, who would have thought that the invincible person would die."
A sneer appeared at the corner of Yuan Yan's mouth.
She naturally had no good impressions of the emperors and empress dowagers of the Southern Dynasties, but for the Northern Wei Dynasty, she had to abandon her personal likes and dislikes.
"After the Demon Sect rebelled to the Southern Dynasty, our Northern Wei Dynasty was naturally in danger, but in my opinion, after your empress dowager was killed by the Demon Sect, Xiao Yan's throne became even more in danger." She looked at Wei Rui seriously and said: "
I accept my emperor
My brother asked me to come to see you because I know that General you do not care about your personal gains and losses, but about the safety of the Southern Dynasty and the safety of these people. So in my opinion, you and I have two choices. One is and
Talk to Xiao Yan, my imperial brother is actually very willing to talk to him now. He is willing to join forces with Xiao Yan to deal with the Demon Sect. After killing the Demon Sect, we all stop fighting. The other option is to leave him alone and talk to the Chen family directly.
We join forces with the Chen family to deal with the Demon Sect and ask him to give up the throne."
Wei Rui nodded. He did not make a statement first, but just indicated that Yuan Yan could continue.
Yuan Yan said: "It's just that my imperial brother joining forces with anyone will naturally be based on the survival of the Northern Wei Dynasty... So this is just his idea. The last thing he is looking for is the person who is willing to stop fighting with the Northern Wei Dynasty."
Wei Rui laughed with emotion, "So the final choice is Lin Yi. For you, Lin Yi should be the one who is willing to stop fighting with the Northern Wei Dynasty. He should not necessarily think about joining the North and the South and destroying the Northern Wei Dynasty.
.”
"If I only represent myself, I will only talk to Lin Yi because I trust him." Yuan Yan nodded, and she said without concealment: "It's not fair to him just to put him at the end, and
I'm afraid there can be no reconciliation between him and Xiao Yan, and I actually don't want my brother to become his enemy in the end."
"But for your imperial brother, it seems that the situation is forcing you."
Wei Rui said calmly, "After all, he is in Dangxiang and is too far away. The ones who can most affect the survival of the Northern Wei Dynasty now are Xiao Yan and the Chen family."
"Whether it is in practice or on the battlefield, you are a true senior. You should now understand what my brother and I mean. My and my brother's preferences are not worth mentioning in terms of the life and death of the entire Northern Wei Dynasty.
." Yuan Yan stopped, she bowed to Wei Rui seriously, and said: "So I want to know your attitude towards the world, and I want to hear your opinion."
Wei Rui smiled bitterly.
He raised his head slightly.
The morning sun was very soft, but at this time, it was inexplicably dazzling to him.
He was just an old man returning to old age, but what was ridiculous was that the fate of the empire suddenly fell into his hands again.
A choice he makes today will completely determine the future of this empire.
