The moon shines brightly through the clouds, and the light shines on Xie Qi's fair face and the evil red corners of his eyes.
Emperor Shenwu, who was wearing a mask and a black robe, was carrying two forearm-sized wine bottles and approached Wei Qi, who was sitting in the pavilion and staring at the sky in a daze.
"What are you thinking about sitting here alone?"
After hearing Emperor Shenwu's voice, Hao Qi quickly turned around and stood up to salute, "I have met Emperor Shenwu."
Emperor Shenwu raised his hand to stop Xie Qi's salute, "There is no need to be formal, just treat it as a normal conversation. I happened to bring two bottles of wine here. I heard that it is a peerless wine that was sent as tribute from foreign countries. Do you want to come and try it too?" ?”
After watching the wine pot being placed on the stone table in the pavilion by Emperor Shenwu, Zhiqi just shook his head lightly, "No need, Xiaodao never drinks in front of outsiders."
Instead, Emperor Shenwu smiled and sat down, "Haha, this is strange. So who is not an outsider to you? Do you want to get married and have children one day?"
Zaiqi scratched his cheek with his hand, and seemed to have thought of something good in his mind. He couldn't help but smile, "Xiaodao didn't think about this..."
Emperor Shenwu was wearing a mask and could not show any obvious expression, but his tone was very cheerful, "As the saying goes, everyone in the world has someone they love. You must have one too, Ji Qi."
When he was alone with Emperor Shenwu, Xi Qi was relaxed. He smiled and replied, "Ha, of course. Although Xiaodao is practicing Taoism, his ordinary mind can still move."
Emperor Shenwu asked with concern, "Oh? I wonder what kind of person he is?"
"A little stubborn, but also a little naive. Hmm... It seems that he is a bit jealous of evil." Yun Qishen's appearance was sketched in Zuo Qi's mind, but it was slightly blurry for some reason.
"Are you good-looking?" Emperor Shenwu kept asking like a curious child.
Xie Qi replied seriously, "You are much more energetic than ordinary people."
"Ha, I heard you talk about the other person with a doting tone. It seems that you really like the other person." Emperor Shenwu then shook his head, "I don't know if the other person likes you."
Ji Qi then emphasized, "We are in love with each other."
"That's good." Emperor Shenwu waved his hand to conjure a wine glass and filled it with wine. He picked up the wine glass and looked at the starry sky for a moment, then sighed, "Actually, will I come to you this time?" For other things. I just want to talk to you about the current situation of the Shenwu Kingdom. You are very capable, and I hope you can stay and assist me."
Looking at Emperor Shenwu, Hao Qi's attitude became serious, "Xiao Dao thanks Emperor Shenwu for his kindness."
"Are you really unwilling to stay?" Seeing Ji Qi's determination to leave, Emperor Shenwu did not intend to force him to stay. He sighed, "Sure enough, since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauties. People can do anything for their sweethearts. Hahaha, I am really envious."
After hearing what Emperor Shenwu said, Haoqi raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why would Emperor Shenwu envy the little Taoist priest's ordinary love?"
Emperor Shenwu explained, "Because I can't feel it. Before I inherited this throne, I never felt the so-called 'love' emotion since I was ignorant and sensible."
Sin Qi rolled his eyes, "Can't you even feel family affection?"
"I can't feel it." Emperor Shenwu first took a sip of wine, and then he simply brought the wine bottle to his mouth and took a few sips. "Everyone says that I am a born strong man. But I know very well. , I am not a strong man, I am also jealous and envious of those who know love and have love. In this Shenwu Kingdom, no one can accurately tell me what love is. Even the gods cannot tell me what love is. Wang explains.”
"This is indeed a problem." Xi Qi agreed from the side.
Emperor Shenwu glanced sideways at Xie Qi, and then he raised the wine bottle and took a sip, "So for all these years, I have been pretending. Pretending to love others, pretending to be loved and admired by others. I am I trust you, that’s why I’m telling you so much.”
Instead, Qi Qi asked doubtfully, "With so many people by your side, why did you choose to trust Xiaodao?"
Emperor Shenwu laughed dryly, "Because you are a person from the gods. The gods asked me to take good care of you in my dreams, so you won't be a weird person. Don't look at them chatting and laughing with me, I The king knows better than anyone the ambitions in their hearts.”
Emperor Shenwu leaned against the fence of the pavilion and gradually relaxed, "I don't completely trust them, but without them, the Shenwu Dynasty would not exist, and neither would I. In this Shenwu Kingdom, Emperor Shenwu has nothing." After all, this is already an empty throne."
"Have you never thought about leaving?" Zhiqi asked.
"Leave? Where else can I go? No matter where I escape, I will always be caught." Emperor Shenwu also had his helplessness, but to be fair, he also had things he wanted to do.
"But if I am to be honest, I do want to leave here and see the outside world."
Emperor Shenwu's words were full of expectations, but his expectations were quickly suppressed by reality.
Ji Qi paused for a moment before speaking, "Since Emperor Shenwu wants to leave here so much, Xiaodao can actually help you. How about the little Taoist taking you out?"
"Ha." Emperor Shenwu smiled and shook his head after hearing this, and the wine bottle followed his body and was brought to his mouth. The strong drink he drank stimulated Emperor Shenwu's nerves. He then said to Xi Qi, " If one day, there really is such an opportunity, please be sure to take me out."
Bad Qi joked, "Then the Shenwu Kingdom will have no emperor."
Emperor Shenwu shook the jug and listened to the sound of the remaining wine in the jug. Emperor Shenwu's voice was slightly sad, "Based on my understanding of them, if I completely disappear, they will only find another one." Choose a new king. The only thing I’m worried about is whether the god who entrusted me to take care of you will hurt me. I don’t care about other things.”
"It's just a god." Zuo Qi said coldly.
Emperor Shenwu sighed again, "How can a human being defeat a god?"
Ji Qi looked up at the stars in the sky, "But Xiaodao believes that whether you can fight or not is one thing, and whether you are afraid or not is another matter. If Emperor Shenwu is willing to throw away all shackles, this god is no match for you. .”
Emperor Shenwu was amused by Xie Qi's words, "Ha, I like your domineering words. It would be a pity not to have a drink at this time."
If that day comes, I have to ask you to let me meet your sweetheart. "
After saying this, Emperor Shenwu raised the wine bottle and took a big sip.
At this moment, Hao Qi put on his professional fake smile to express his unwillingness, "But Xiaodao prefers to hide it."
Emperor Shenwu raised his hand and patted Ji Qi on the shoulder, "Why are you so stingy? Are you afraid that I will steal your sweetheart?"
The angry look of Yun Qishen appeared in Haiqi's mind. Even when he looked up at the sky, it was Yun Qishen's face. At this time, hearing Emperor Shenwu say this again, the hidden feeling in Xie Qi's heart became even stronger.
"The trail cannot be seen by Emperor Shenwu." (End of Chapter)
