556. Rise and fall are the suffering of the common people
Shen Tong was stunned, as if he had expected this result.
"Know!"
Wen Ranran took a deep breath and finally put down the knife, "You can go, there are too many things going on recently, and I don't want to cause trouble."
Shen Tong suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Wen Ranran.
"Although there are misunderstandings, fights, and different positions between us,... during these days of the expedition, I really regarded you as a friend. Now, you go!"
Wen Ranran turned away tiredly and closed her eyes, as if she didn't want to look at Shen Tong any more.
Shen Tong was silent for a while, "Actually... the war in the southwest is tense, and only dead people will not cause trouble. There are too many things involved in the Ji family, whether it is Ji Ping of Jincheng or Ji He, they are just pawns. "
Wen Ranran suddenly turned her head and looked at the other party.
"We... our Lord also came out of this consideration. After all, we are involved in the affairs of the previous dynasty, so we have to be more cautious!"
Wen Ranran remained silent, but her expression had softened a lot.
"I hope this is the last time!"
Wen Ranran said coldly.
Shen Tong smiled, knowing that she was giving him a chance and would no longer drive him away.
He breathed a sigh of relief, sat down, and took out a few wild fruits from his arms.
"I picked it for you last time before I arrived in Jiangrao County. You seemed to like eating it! I picked some more this time!"
The wild fruits are verdant and the ground is wiped clean.
Wen Ranran pursed her lips, then picked up one and took a bite.
The two sat in silence for a while, and for a while, the only sound was the sound of Wen Ranran biting the fruit.
After finishing a piece of fruit, Wen Ranran wiped her mouth and looked at Shen Tong.
"Has your master known for a long time that I am not the daughter of the Wen family at all?"
"yes."
"Did he already know that my life experience is actually related to Lan Guo? Or..." Wen Ranran took a deep breath, "Or maybe I am Jiang Shu!"
Shen Tong's lips trembled, "...yes!"
Wen Ranran closed her eyes for a long time before speaking in a depressed tone.
"So, in this war, I am going to help Rongguo fight against my mother country, is that right?"
Shen Tong stopped talking, indicating his acquiescence.
"God is really good at playing with people's hearts sometimes!" Wen Ranran looked at the starry sky with self-mockery, "I have always felt that it doesn't matter even if I jumped out of the cracks in the rocks, and I don't even have the so-called plot of family and country at all."
"However, seeing the people in the two places displaced for such ridiculous reasons, and how many soldiers went to fight because Jiang Shu wanted to kill me... I feel very ironic!"
"Miss Wen!" Shen Tong's voice rose higher for the first time, "When countries change, war is inevitable! Don't bear everything on yourself!"
Wen Ranran didn't speak, and just sighed.
"You are a little secret guard, but you see more clearly than I do. It's me who's confused!"
Shen Tong also laughed at himself, "My family used to be from Anguo. During the war, the whole family starved to death. Grandma went to beg for food. She finally got a white-flour bun and brought it to me, but she collapsed herself."
"She lied to me every day, saying that she had already eaten, and even asked me to touch her belly. But it wasn't until she died that I realized that she was afraid that we would worry, so she secretly ate clods of soil every day, and she looked very full. He looked like he was actually... starved to death!"
Wen Ranran's eyes suddenly became clear. She looked at Shen Tong and was stunned. After a while, she murmured.
"When it prospers, the people suffer; when it dies, the people suffer!"
"So, whether it is my family master, Miss Wen, or Prince Yu, we all wish the people of this land well. I don't understand the affairs of the court, but when it comes to war, I think our wishes are the same. Same!"
Wen Ranran nodded and looked at Shen Tong. Suddenly, something seemed to catch in her mind.
If the spies in the King of Shu's army really want Xia Lishuang to die, then there are so many poisons that can seal his throat at the sight of blood, but no medicine or stone can cure it, why choose the third watch?
