Chapter 8(4)()

Di Renjie thought for a while and suddenly said, "By the way, Yuan Fang, I found something next to the hot spring pool in Lan Yuguan this morning, which is that strange red flower."

"safflower?"

"Yes, Yuanfang, do you still remember that we had seen a large area of ​​strange blooming red flowers in Heying Villa?"

"Remember, did you see this kind of flower in Lan Yuguan?"

"That's right. This is another connection. Maybe it can become a breakthrough point. Jing Hui once told me that Fan Qixin has studied many special medicines from foreign lands and cultivated some special medicinal materials in Henyingshan Villa... Is this red flower the same? I want to check it, check it..."

After another long silence, Li Yuanfang said softly: "Sir, it's late at night. It's time for you to go back."

Di Renjie raised his head and looked at him. With his eyes forced Li Yuanfang to lower his eyes, but he still insisted stubbornly: "Sir, it's time for you to go home to rest. If there is anything I need to do, you'll say it."

Di Renjie calmed down his emotions and tried to say in a gentle tone: "Yuan Fang, when are you planning to live here?"

"I, I don't know..."

"What if I want you to go back?" Although I tried my best to restrain myself, Di Renjie's voice still shook a little.

Li Yuanfang lowered his head and just said nothing. Di Renjie gritted his teeth with hatred, and then had no choice but to treat him. He was so angry that he burst out with a word: "Yuanfang, aren't you planning to never go back from now on?!"

"Sir, where to live will not affect Yuan Fang's performance of his duties to you." As soon as Li Yuanfang said this, Di Renjie's head buzzed with anger, but then he calmed down. Looking at him, his face was very bad and his face was very haggard. Di Renjie's heart felt aching pain and couldn't help but say softly: "Yuan Fang, is it because of Jinghui? I said, please don't bother with him. Besides, you can see that his current situation is very troublesome, and I think he is probably used by someone." After a pause, Di Renjie forced a smile and said, "Look, these two cases now have something to do with Di Jinghui, but in fact they have something to do with me. And I am now naked and need your help."

Li Yuanfang finally raised his head, looked at Di Renjie, and smiled and said, "Sir, I understand. Don't worry, Yuanfang will spare no effort to help you. This is my responsibility and my selfishness. No one can change my intentions, Di Jinghui is nothing at all."

Di Renjie listened to his words and felt his heart tighter and tighter. He hurriedly said, "Since that's the case, why are your actions now..."

"Actually it's nothing, I..." Li Yuanfang frowned, as if thinking hard, and her expression seemed a little dazed: "I just think that in the end you may be more likely to accept the transition bit by bit."

"Accept it?! What do you want me to accept?!" Di Renjie asked sternly.

"Accept me against your will, accept the choice I made according to my own wishes, accept me to disappoint you." Li Yuanfang finished speaking in one breath, his face turned pale.

Di Renjie suddenly sat upright and leaned back to the back of the chair again. He felt that he had never been as helpless and weak as he was now. He had experienced too much and endured too much these days. He originally thought that with the last support, he could always trust the person he could rely on, but today, was the heaviest blow really coming from him? Di Renjie felt that he was almost about to fall down, and he couldn't remember what he could say, but he was silent.

Li Yuanfang stood up, walked to him, and whispered: "Sir, it's all my fault, don't do this."

Di Renjie looked at him and sighed: "Yuan Fang, what are you doing?"

Li Yuanfang smiled and said, "Sir, Yuanfang, I'm afraid I can no longer fulfill my promise to you."

"Can I know the reason?"

"Sir, just think that Yuan Fang is cowardly.

"Coward?" Di Renjie sneered and stared at Li Yuanfang and said, "I believe that anyone in this world says he is weak, only you, Li Yuanfang, I can't believe that you say these two words. Do you want me to believe that a person who can sacrifice his life for his friends is weak? Do you want me to believe that a person who can take risks alone for his duties is weak? Do you want me to believe that Li Yuanfang, a person who is ready to die at any time?"

"Sir!" Li Yuanfang's eyes flashed with sharp light, and he stared at Di Renjie without any ambiguity and said, "Sir, Yuanfang is extremely grateful for Yuanfang's trust in Yuanfang and cannot repay it. Yes, Yuanfang has never feared death. Yuanfang only hates him to have a mere life, and cannot die for love and friendship and the country for a hundred or a thousand times. However, Yuanfang has no interest in the struggle for power, and Yuanfang is even more unwilling to die for the struggle of the royal family. Lord, you have the kindness of knowing me, and you are my lifelong mentor and friend. You know me the best and feel the most affection for me. Today I beg you to make the decision myself. If Yuanfang really can't be with you and serve you, then let Yuanfang guard the border and fight the battlefield, and don't let Yuanfang stay in this temple. Yuanfang has been patient for too long and doesn't want to continue to endure it!"

Di Renjie didn't know what to say, but he felt a heart-wrenching pain, which made him feel heart-wrenching. After a long time, he slowly said: "Yuan Fang, I thought you were a person with faith."

Li Yuanfang smiled, and tears seemed to flash in his eyes. He whispered: "Sir, I am a person with faith. But my beliefs are not exactly the same as your beliefs. In the past ten years, I have regarded all your beliefs as my own. I think this is very good and simple. Over the years, I have avoided thinking about some things, but recently, I seem to have never avoided them. I often can't sleep, think hard, but I can't make up my mind... Until last night, sir, it was your son who helped me finally make this decision. In fact, I have never resented his actions towards me for a moment. Those things are not worth mentioning to me at all. On the contrary, I am very grateful to him now, because it was his words yesterday that finally made me see my own heart clearly. I don't want to hesitate anymore, and I will never waver it anymore."

Silence, the silence that can crush people once again covered this simple and cold inn room. After a long time, Di Renjie made his last effort. He asked in a low voice: "Yuan Fang, if I promised everything you just said, are you still anxious to leave me today?"

Li Yuanfang's tears slowly flowed down, and he replied: "Sir, I will even feel fear whenever I think of separation from you. But there is a deeper fear in my heart. I am afraid that one day I will do something wrong and hurt you, so you should let me leave."

Di Renjie supported the table before he could stand up. Li Yuanfang stretched out his hand to support him, but hesitated not to touch him. Di Renjie stopped looking at him, walked straight to the door, opened the door and walked out. The rain was so heavy that it poured down the broken roof of the corridor, and the entire corridor was filled with water. Di Renjie stepped into the accumulated water and walked forward with great strides. Li Yuanfang picked up the umbrella and ran away behind him, almost jogging with Di Ren.

Jie came to the inn. Di Chun stretched out his head from the carriage and saw the figures of the two of them. He quickly jumped out of the carriage and held up an umbrella to greet him. Di Renjie got on the carriage without looking back and shouted sternly: "Di Chun, let's go!" Di Chun agreed, glanced at Li Yuanfang hurriedly, and was also busy getting on the carriage. Li Yuanfang ran out a few steps and watched the carriage disappear into the heavy rain. He stood there as if he had lost consciousness, letting the pouring rain wash his whole body.

I don’t know how long I stood, but Li Yuanfang seemed to suddenly wake up from his dream. He turned around and hurriedly ran through the corridor. As soon as he got back to the room, he opened the door of the cabinet and shouted: “Bin'er, Bin'er.”
