Brother Jiang left and went drinking with his friends.

Yuwen Duo didn't leave. The reason he didn't leave was not because of how reliable this guy was. It was because Zhao Rucheng was worried that he would be kicked out of Yiyang Palace alone, so he forcefully dragged him down to wait with him.

This wait lasted all night.

The wine in Yiyang Palace is naturally the best on the grassland.

The two people who were drinking deliberately did not use Daogen to sober up.

At midnight, Yu Wenduo was already so drunk that he lay on the table crying, laughing, and fell asleep.

Zhao Rucheng drank alone until dawn.

There is almost no wine in the world that can make you drunk, but if you are determined to get drunk, no amount of cultivation can guarantee sobriety.

Zhao Rucheng is a very smart person, and precisely because he is smart, he can see clearly that this time Helian Yunyun is not angry or simply having trouble, but has really made up his mind.

Why didn't he know that none of Third Brother's methods worked?

It's just a dead horse being treated as a living horse doctor, grasping at the straw that drowns people.

Fighting in the Canglang Arena and asking for hospitality from Yiyang Palace are all methods of stalking.

Helian Yunyun had given him enough dignity, but at the same time he had not given him any chance.

He didn't want to get entangled, but he really couldn't give up.

Let the drunkenness roll into every drop of blood, let the gods understand it, and everyone will be obscured.

People are in pain because of reality, but they are good at using alcohol to deceive themselves - thinking that the pain comes from sobriety.

When he went to pick up the wine again in a daze, the wine bottle was pressed down.

A familiar voice sounded in my ears: "Who are you drunk for?"

He saw Helian Yunyun with drunken eyes. He didn't see it clearly in the hazy way, but he just smiled drunkenly: "Yunyun, are you here?"

Helian Yunyun’s real existence.

She was helping Emperor Damu handle government affairs - she and Emperor Zhaotu had begun to share state affairs a long time ago - and she was so busy that she returned to the palace now. She didn't feel that she was avoiding anyone on purpose.

The hall is loud and quiet, and the smell of wine is strong.

There is a bouquet of Yiche flowers stuck on the corner of the table. I don’t know who has done a good job. The roots have grown together with the wooden table. It is obviously caused by Taoism. The petals are bright and full of vitality.

How childish...

Helian Yunyun's eyes rested on the flowers again and again before falling back on Zhao Rucheng.

They say you can see beauty under the lamp.

In fact, it is even more stunning in the faint morning light.

At this time, the window was half open, and the palace was silent. The faint light that quietly swam in was dancing on the man's long eyelashes. Those peach blossom-like eyes were between opening and closing, making the water-colored

The passion is looming.

The man is half lying on the table, half of his beautiful features are bathed in the light and glowing, and half is hidden in the shadows, outlining a mystery that invites exploration.

Light and shadow coexist harmoniously on this face, perfectly unified.

His eyes were reddish, with unshed tears, and he was murmuring like he was dreaming...calling your name.

You know he thought it was a dream, but he didn't want to wake up.

Of course I could smell the strong smell of alcohol.

Helian Yunyun looked at the man's lips, which had a perfect lip line and just the right color.

I thought to myself, she also likes to drink.

"Yunyun?" the man called again, holding the wine bottle as if he was about to stand up.

Those who had not drank were awakened.

She retracted her hand without leaving a trace and took the wine bottle aside.

When his hands were empty, Zhao Rucheng also woke up. He blinked hard, and the world became concrete, and the blurry figures in his field of vision gradually became clearer.

"Yes!" he shouted.

Helian Yunyun had no expression on his face, but pointed at Yuwen Duo who was still lying on the table with his chin: "What's the matter with him? He seems to be crying?"

Zhao Rucheng shook his head to get rid of the dizziness, and said casually: "I told him that after the battle at Canglang Arena yesterday, Bian Qiang went to find Brother Jiang."

It's really bad...

Helian was too lazy to care about his subordinates' concerns, and the frequent visitors to Shen'en Temple were really not worthy of shedding tears over their feelings.

Thinking of the word 'unworthy', her voice became indifferent and she asked: "What do you want?"

"I miss you!" Zhao Rucheng blurted out.

Helian Yunyun looked at him calmly: "...I mean, do you have any goals in life? You can't waste your time here all the time."

At this time, Zhao Rucheng was already awake.

He thought it was better to be drunk.

How can you say I'm wasting your time, Helian Yunyun?

But he thought again, I really wasted it.

"life goals?"

He sat up, leaned back on the chair, suddenly laughed, and shook his head: "I don't have any goals in life."

He looked up at the dome of the palace: "When I was very young, someone kept telling me - 'You are the king of Qin, you are a descendant of Emperor Huai of Qin, and you are the only orthodox Qin in the world.'

"It has been five generations since Emperor Huai of Qin came to me.

"My ancestors... they stored many outdated killing methods and left behind some foolish and loyal mediocre people.

"Time has made outdated killing methods even more obsolete, and there are not many foolish and loyal mediocrities left.

"They all told me that my goal in life is to restore the country, that I should fight to regain the legitimacy of the Qin Dynasty throughout my life, and that I was born to sit on that throne. But my Uncle Deng only asked me - what do you think?

"Haha... I don't want to think about anything. I just want to live a muddle-headed life. I'm still so young, and there are so many possibilities in my life. Why should I do something that is destined to fail?

"My ancestors, I can't understand their stupidity, I don't understand what they are thinking - they think that their life goals that they can't achieve no matter how hard they work can be achieved by their descendants. They rely on having children to rely on them.

Their life ideals cover up their mediocrity and incompetence. Then they should calculate their days carefully and directly set a 'life goal'!"

Having said this, Zhao Rucheng restrained his excitement, closed his eyes, and said softly in a nostalgic tone: "I once thought about spending my whole life in that small town, being a boring and rich swinger.

I will never let them know my past, my so-called noble bloodline, and my sacred mission for the rest of my life.

"No, when I get old, I may tell them - 'Do you know, I am actually a member of the royal family of the Qin State, my real name is Ying Ziyu, and I am a direct descendant of Emperor Huai of Qin. Each of you will give

I have five hundred taels to help me restore my country, and when I succeed, I will make you a high official!'

"The third brother will bargain with me. The second brother will call me a fool. The fourth brother will say that he is actually the illegitimate son of Emperor Jing Guo. He has a greater chance of ascending to the throne than me, and he only wants four hundred and ninety-nine taels... The eldest brother will only laugh.

Just look at me."

Zhao Rucheng did not shed any tears. He opened his eyes and said calmly: "Then the White Bone Way came."

"Then everything was gone.

"Uncle Deng disappeared later."

He sat up straight, put his hands flat on the table, and said firmly: "I don't have any goals in life."

He said slowly: "I just don't want to lose it again."

"This is what I said to myself in the desert. I also said it to myself on the river viewing platform. All the few efforts I have made in my life so far have been for this sentence."

"Now I have become very stingy, so stingy that I refuse to let go of anything."

He stretched out the five fingers of his left hand and brought them back one by one with his right hand.

Press the thumb: "Brother Jiang."

Press your index finger: "Xiao An'an."

Press the middle finger: "Brother Du."

He looked at Helian Yunyun, looked at Helian Yunyun very seriously, and finally pressed his ring finger and little finger together and said, "And you."

This clenched fist is his whole world.

The palace was quiet for a while.

His eyes and hers met in the sky above the whole world.

Zhao Rucheng didn't speak anymore, and neither did Helian.

Silence spread in the hall.

Until a certain moment, a voice suddenly sounded next to him——

"Without me?"

Yuwenduo, who had been awake for a long time, raised his head and looked at Zhao Rucheng aggrievedly.
