Camp of Strange Stone Valley.

Shen Muping had woken up at night the day before.

After waking up, Shen Muping found that he had returned to the camp of the Jin Army and met his father, which was more unexpected than pleasantly surprised.

After the doctor came to check again, he confirmed that there was no possibility for his legs to stand up, but the meridians of his left hand should still be adhesions, and his daily life should not be a problem, but he couldn't hold a knife.

Regarding the fact that he will spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair in the future, Shen Muping behaved calmly, obviously knowing this result for a long time and having accepted it.

After everyone retreated, and Shen Muping and their father and son were left in the tent, he asked Shen Wei: "What conditions did father promise He Yuan?"

Shen Wei was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "What do you mean by this?"

Shen Muping frowned slightly: "He Yuan won't let me back easily." ”

When Shen Wei heard this, he immediately understood what Shen Muping was thinking, and couldn't help but be surprised: "You don't know how you came back?"

When Shen Muping heard this, he immediately frowned, looked at his father suspiciously, and made sure that what he was acting was not a fraud, so he asked, "What does my father mean, it wasn't He Yuanfang who put me?"

Shen Wei told him about the fact that his subordinates found him outside the camp in the afternoon. After Shen Muping heard this, he frowned and was silent.

"I was a little slower to react, and by the time I thought about chasing someone, the two had already gone far away, and the people I sent didn't catch up. However, these two people should not be Dayuan's people. Don't you really know who saved you?" Shen Wei looked at the silent Shen Muping, hesitated for a moment, and then asked thoughtfully.

Shen Muping shook his head: "At that time, He Yuan arranged for someone to send me to the Fengkou. Before leaving, they fed me medicine. After that, I didn't know anything, and when I woke up, it was here. ”

After Shen Wei heard this, he pondered.

Shen Muping leaned on the bed, also a little distracted, not knowing what he was thinking.

Time passed slowly, and suddenly, Shen Muping took the lead in speaking, breaking the somewhat oppressive silence in the tent, and asked Shen Wei: "When I was over there before, I heard that someone tried to sneak to rescue me, was it arranged by you, father?"

Shen Wei glanced at him and nodded: "Sort of." It was the third prince who asked Elder Jin in the palace to help. ”

"Just that Elder Jin alone?" Shen Muping asked, his mood changing slightly.

Shen Wei saw it, was a little puzzled, and replied truthfully: "I also brought someone with me." However, the operation failed, and the man did not return. As he spoke, he sighed: "I have asked the third prince to take care of his family." ”

Shen Muping's brows furrowed again, stared at Shen Wei, pursed his lips and was silent for a while, and then said, "After that incident, my Zeng He Yuan's subordinates said that it was the third brother who broke into the camp to save me. ”

Shen Wei was shocked, and looked at Shen Muping with round eyes, in disbelief. After a moment of silence, he shook his head and said, "Impossible! I have seen that person with my own eyes, his name is Lin Xuan." ”

"Father is really sure?" Shen Muping narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a deep voice.

Shen Wei nodded: "I'm very sure about this." At that time, the man had come with the third prince, and I had not only seen it with my own eyes, but I had also spoken to him, and if it was really Muzhi, I could not have recognized it......! After glancing at Shen Muping without saying anything, he waved his hand and said, "Anyway, it's definitely not your third brother." ”

Shen Muping looked at the slight and rapid changes in the expression on his face, thinking about what he heard that day, and still didn't believe his father's so-called certainty in his heart. After pondering for a while, he asked, "What did my father want to say, and what has happened in the last few months?"

Shen Wei looked at him, his expression gradually complicated.

Shen Muping's expression also became serious and solemn.

"Well, even if I don't talk about these things now, you will have to know sooner or later. After Shen Wei sighed, he told all the things that had happened one after another since his accident.

Shen Muping's expression, from shock, doubt, and incomprehension at the beginning, gradually turned into calm in the end. The originally frowning brows gradually loosened. By the time Shen Wei finished speaking, Shen Muping's face was calm, and he didn't see any mood fluctuations at all.

Shen Wei looked at him and said tentatively: "Your matter, what the specific truth is, it is still difficult to completely determine now. Although a lot of the evidence sent points to your third brother, it can't be concluded that it was your third brother who did these things, and he shouldn't have such great ability. ”

"Since my father thinks that the third brother can't have such great ability, why does my father still let my mother issue a reward order to arrest the third brother?" Shen Muping suddenly spoke, causing Shen Wei to freeze there.

He was here for the first time after it happened. After that, people kept sending all kinds of news, and his heart had already been shaken, but he himself still insisted that he didn't want to admit it, and no one broke through this in front of him.

But now, Shen Muping has debunked him.

For the first time in his life, Shen Wei felt a sense of shame in front of his son.

"I know best what kind of heart the shepherd is. He wouldn't do this kind of thing to me, even if someone put a knife on his neck, he would rather hit his own neck on the knife edge of someone else, and he wouldn't do this kind of thing! Father ......" Shen Muping looked at him, and in his calm eyes, he couldn't hide his disappointment: "You are confused!"

Shen Wei's cheeks flushed, embarrassed. He has been fighting horses for half his life, killing countless enemies, and the official is the general of Beida in Erpin Town, but now he is confused by his son......

After taking a deep breath and suppressing the complicated emotions surging in his heart, he asked, "If it was really not his doing, why did he run away that night and kill people in the mansion?"

Shen Muping looked at his father, who was already gray and tired, and his eyes flashed a little dark color, and then he sighed lightly: "Father, he is only twelve years old!"

Shen Wei was shocked.

"He's only twelve years old, and if he catches a bird and raises it in a cage in winter, he'll be sad for a long time, let alone kill people! Why doesn't my father want to think about it, those who hurt me, since they have made up their minds to blame the third brother for the black cauldron, how can they not be prepared? Fleeing the house at night and killing people is the best evidence of absconding in fear of crime, isn't it, father?" Shen Muping looked at Shen Wei with disappointment in the corner of his eyes.

Shen Wei suddenly didn't know how to answer.

He looked at Shen Muping, and naturally saw the not-so-obvious disappointment in the corner of his eyes, and his heart couldn't help but feel more complicated and sad.

After a long silence, he muttered, "Then why won't he come to see me?" I sent someone to look for him, and in Strange Stone Town, he won't come here to see me. Why?"

"Because, you let him down. Shen Muping said mercilessly.

Shen Wei looked at his eldest son in a daze, opened his mouth, and wanted to defend a few words, but in the end he couldn't say anything.

Perhaps, it was really him who was wrong.

It seems that he, the father, has really failed.

Shen Wei stood there, and at this moment, his originally straight posture suddenly became a little saggy, and the whole person seemed to have been suddenly drained of most of his spirit and became depressed.

"You have a good rest. After Shen Wei threw down the next sentence, he stepped out of the tent.

Shen Muping sat on the bed, his face, which had always been calm, suddenly became gloomy when his eyes withdrew from the door and fell on the legs covered by the quilt in front of him after Shen Wei left.

"Seven-Star ......"

......

Outside the tent, as soon as Shen Wei walked out of the tent, someone greeted him, lowered his voice, and asked, "General, since the little general has returned, is it time to cancel tomorrow morning's operation?"

Shen Wei didn't answer immediately, and walked quickly to the main account in silence. And the man stayed by and did not speak.

It wasn't until he entered the main account that Shen Wei sat down behind the long case, the man poured water from the side and handed it to Shen Wei, Shen Wei took a sip before he said slowly: "Where is that Wang Shi today?"

The soldier next to him thought for a while and replied: "According to the itinerary, I should have arrived in Xiushui today." ”

"It's going to take a while. Well, when the time comes, you can stay and hand over the work to him. Mu Ping's health is not very good, I have to take him back to Beijing as soon as possible, and I guess I will leave early the day after tomorrow. The matter of that route ......" Shen Wei said this, pondered for a moment, and then continued: "You should hand over the map to Wang Shi when the time comes, just say that you have inquired from some nearby hunters, and the specific situation has not been explored yet." After thinking about it, he added: "In addition, tell him again that this matter has not been reported." ”

After hearing this, the soldiers next to him were taken aback: "General, this is what Liu Chang and they fought for!"

Shen Wei glanced at him and said lightly: "I know this, I don't need you to remind me!"

The soldier knew that he was speechless, and hurriedly explained: "General, I didn't mean that. ”

Shen Wei waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to be so panicked, and then explained: "Now that we have this route, we have to make use of it, so as not to be in vain Liu Chang's efforts." Now that Mu Ping is back, it's not good for me to stay here anymore, Wang Shi's new official takes office, and he always needs to make some achievements to show others. With this route, he will work harder than we do!"

"But ......" pro-soldiers were a little unwilling. This route was heaped out with the blood of his brothers. For thousands of years, no one has been able to carve out a marching route in this mountain, and this is the first time, even if they give up the previous plan, as long as they report this route, it will be a great achievement. But now he wants to give this credit to others, especially to people like Wang Shi, he is unwilling, unwilling for those dead brothers.

And......

He looked at Shen Wei again, and suddenly felt that Shen Wei had changed.

In the past, Shen Wei would not have made such a decision.

"Nothing! Remember, you can't let a third person know about this. After speaking, Shen Wei turned his head and looked at him deeply.

The soldiers were stunned and hurriedly bowed their heads.
