Women dressed as men: powerful officials

Chapter 189: A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.

Beiyao frowned.

He didn't like the word "blade" very much.

"It's cooperation." Bei Yao said, "The person who signed the covenant is your brother Zhang Yue. The credit goes to him."

"A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. You are not helping him, but harming him."

"But I never..." Beiyao's voice gradually calmed down, "I never thought of taking advantage of you two brothers."

He just thought that Xuyuan missed home and would be very happy to see Zhang Yue.

Apart from this, he had no other ideas.

To guarantee a wish is not to sign a covenant, but to protect the wish.

Bei Yao didn't understand why everything he did seemed like calculation in Xu Yuan's eyes.

Xuyuan didn't say anything.

"Aren't you glad to see your brother?"

"Isn't it what you want for the two countries to have good relations?"

"I helped you make everything happen. I didn't seek a single cent. Why do you always judge people with the most vicious mind? Don't you think I have any sincerity at all?"

Hearing Bei Yao's words, Xu Yuan paused suddenly.

Even with the veil blocking her view, she seemed to be able to see the pair of disappointed eyes.

like……

Beiyao really had no intention of doing anything.

They joined forces to go into the desert. She asked for the city defense map, and Beiyao gave it to her.

When she went to Geshu's tribe again, she asked for the letters between the magistrate of Sishui County and Geshu's tribe. Beiyao had reminded her that in her hands, the letters were like waste paper and would be of no use at all, but she asked for them, so Beiyao gave them to her anyway.

It was he who opposed her cooperation with Geshuwang, and it was Beiyao who saved her at the moment of backstabbing.

After entering Beijing, the Song family wanted to arrest him, but Beiyao saved him.

Even when Song Xiuwen invited her to the Song Mansion, it was Beiyao who gave her the Song family's account book.

He really had never plotted anything against her.

I don’t know how to start making a wish.

Snowflakes fluttered down, and then Bei Yao let out a sigh.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter. No matter what I do, others will think I am seeking personal gain."

Just like he only wanted a little favor from the queen, the queen thought he was doing it for personal gain.

In fact, he just wanted to make the queen happy and proud of him.

But in the eyes of the queen, he was just trying to seize the throne.

The most unchangeable thing in this world is the prejudice of others.

He should have gotten used to it by now.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been seriously injured again and again.

Seeing Beiyao turning around, Xu Yuan followed him and said, "I'm sorry, I just value my family too much. I'm not afraid of you taking advantage of me, I'm just afraid that you'll take advantage of my family. They are my bottom line."

Seeing that Beiyao did not stop, Xu Yuan simply took a few quick steps and blocked Beiyao's way.

"I know you do all this for me, but over the years, I've gotten used to doing everything on my own. No matter who approaches me, I always think they're doing it for their own benefit. To protect myself, I can only reject all good intentions."

She had tried making a wish and had seen the consequences of trusting others too easily. That was why she was unwilling to try it a second time.

She will remember the revenge of her family's annihilation for the rest of her life.

"I was too impatient when I said those things just now. I apologize to you, okay?"

Xu Yuan looked at Bei Yao with a sincere voice.

Under the veil, Bei Yao raised the corners of his lips slightly, and asked along the lines of Xu Yuan: "Just an apology? No compensation?"

Xuyuan breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What do you want?"

"I haven't thought of it yet. I'll tell you when I think of it."

Bei Yao said, and walked around Xu Yuan and continued walking. When he walked out, he saw Xu Yuan still there, and couldn't help but said, "Let's go."

"Where?"

"It won't be long before you are conferred the title. Aren't you going to wait for your brother?"

Hearing Bei Yao's words, Xu Yuan suddenly realized and immediately said, "Here it comes!"

The snow was as deep as calves. There were many people today, so they made a path.

Xu Yuan waited at the palace gate, exhaling a puff of white air.

At this moment, she finally understood why Qi Shengxin came to her yesterday.

Of course it was not because of her, but because Zhang Yue had made great contributions.

Those people all came because of Zhang Yue.

Just as Bei Yao said, it had indeed not been too long since he was conferred the title. Xu Yuan had not been waiting in front of the palace gate for long when he saw Zhang Yue coming out.

Seeing Xu Yuan, Zhang Yue didn't care that he was still in the palace. He ran out in his armor and rushed directly to Xu Yuan. He hugged him and said, "Xu Yuan! Long time no see!"

Zhang Yue rushed over and Xu Yuan was caught off guard.

Just when Xu Yuan felt she was about to fall, a force suddenly appeared around her waist, holding her and Zhang Yue steadily so that she would not fall on the snow.

Zhang Yue was completely unaware and continued excitedly: "I miss you so much!"

Zhang Yue really wanted to make a wish.

From birth to now, Zhang Yue and Xu Yuan have never been separated.

Before Xu Yuan went to Beijing, the two had met several times in Sishui County. After Xu Yuan left Sishui County, Zhang Yue never saw Xu Yuan again.

Besides, New Year is coming soon.

He could not stay in the capital for a few days and had to rush back to Sishui County.

After this separation, I really don’t know when we will meet again.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yue's eyes welled up with tears, especially when he saw Xu Yuan's face was obviously much thinner, he couldn't help but said: "You have lost weight."

Zhang Yue let go of his hand. Xu Yuan saw the tears in Zhang Yue's eyes, and tears slowly welled up in his eyes, "Brother, you've lost weight too."

"It's obviously stronger."

Zhang Yue wiped the tears from Xu Yuan's face helplessly, "Why are you still crying? You are a grown man, it's embarrassing!"

"Didn't you cry too?" Xu Yuan asked back.

"It's... the wind is too strong." Zhang Yue turned his face away and wiped the tears from his face.

"Yes, it was just too windy." Xu Yuan smiled, but his voice was still angry. "If you were going to the capital, why didn't you write a letter in advance? I could have gone to the city gate to see you."

If Bei Yao hadn't come to see her today, Xu Yuan would have had no idea that Zhang Yue had arrived in the capital today, and she wouldn't have seen him in such a glorious state.

This kind of scene is unlikely to happen again.

So Xuyuan was a little angry.

Zhang Yue could clearly tell her, but he just kept it to himself.

If it weren't for Beiyao, she would have missed it.

“Hasn’t this also been seen?”

Zhang Yue chuckled and scratched his head, saying, "Today's protagonist is General Xie. I am here to receive the reward. This achievement is not mine. When I have made achievements in the future and am at the forefront, I will definitely tell you in advance."

"You are also the protagonist." Xu Yuan couldn't help but refute Zhang Yue's words.

"Yes, yes, yes." Zhang Yue touched Xu Yuan's head, just like before. It was also at this time that he saw Bei Yao wearing a veil hat next to him, and couldn't help but say: "Who is this..."

"My friend." Xu Yuan was the first to speak, "You have seen him before."

"Oh, I see. It's General Shen."

Zhang Yue came back to his senses and said respectfully, "Zhang Yue greets General Shen."

"General Shen...?" Xu Yuan was stunned and looked at Bei Yao.

She clearly remembered.

Xie Xiaocheng never introduced Beiyao to Zhang Yue.

Why does Zhang Yue look like he is very familiar with Bei Yao?

Noticing Xu Yuan's gaze, Bei Yao couldn't help but change the subject and said, "Let's go first. There are too many people here and the weather is cold. Let's go somewhere else to talk."
