In the early morning of the fifth day of the second lunar month, on the south wall of Yiguo Yincheng, Shen Xiao and Gonghu were talking while looking at the road that Hengjun had to pass through. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Master, fourth master. The two brothers rarely stood together and saluted Shen Xiao and Gong Fox.

"In the future, Trolling and Trolling should not be pretending to be a person, they can be themselves. A hint of a smile appeared on the bow fox's always unsmiling face.

"Fight tiger brothers, go into battle father and son soldiers. Although fighting a war is not a joyful thing, being on the battlefield, facing the rain of swords and arrows, being able to fight side by side with my brothers, and calmly handing over the safety behind my back to each other, this kind of joy reminds me of the time when I followed the prince to fight. Shen Xiao stared at the void, and her eyes revealed a deep sense of nostalgia.

"The country of Yi almost fell apart under the attack of various forces, and the revenge of the prince and the princess was finally avenged. As he spoke, the bow fox twitched the dagger in his hand, which was given by King Gong Yuanxia in the past, and seemed to recall the prince's concern and support for him as a master and father.

"We have further news to inform you. The vanguard army of the Star Altar attacking the Moge Pavilion was less than one-third of the number, and the lord in order to delay time, but also to compete for the first position in the rivers and lakes, issued a challenge to the predecessors of Guanzhou, the two of them started a competition on the top of the stone forest, and fought for a day and a night to divide the victory and defeat, and the lord was defeated. Since Shen Xiao still has a respect for You Huan, Trolling Marks continued to use the title of "Lord" to call You Huan and said.

"With the temper of the Venerable Lord, losing is losing, and he should not be embarrassed by Mo Ge anymore. Shen Xiao sighed and said.

"Exactly. In addition, when the lord heard that the star altar was cut off, the lord and Qirui left and rebelled, and they turned back towards the star altar in anger. ”

"What is Fu Huan doing?"

"After Fu Huan led the army back to the Star Altar, he returned after several battles in vain, and under the doorless way to return, he was stationed outside the plum blossom forest, waiting for the lord to return and make plans. ”

"Does the third brother feel ashamed of the Star Altar?" Gong Fox saw the loneliness that flashed in Shen Xiao's eyes, and asked with words.

"The Lord has always been kind to me, and although I think I have paid off what I owe, I have failed him. Shen Xiao said as she spoke, and You Wanqing's sad expression unconsciously appeared in her mind. With this guilt, it cannot be said that there is no complete guilt.

Trolle was a little clear about Shen Xiao's thoughts, coughed lightly, changed the topic and said:

"The battlefields everywhere are gradually coming to an end. Tuoba Yabu had the help of the heirs of the Gongye family, and defeated Shu Shao's father and son, Shu Shao and Shu He could only lead the army to retreat to the Orange Flame Villa for temporary refuge, and the Shu family's father and son and the Liao family were all injured and powerless. Jing Hu, Luo Dong and others also controlled the situation in the south, and Shu You was injured and fled, and his whereabouts are still unknown. The only bright spot of Yi Jun was the six princes Xiuxuan, who was originally not noticeable, and the six princes were strategizing against the law, and Yeluji, who had been following the king of Mingjun, suffered losses again and again, and was introduced into the quicksand and lost most of his troops. ”

"Jeru's skills are not bad, but he can't fight. Bow Fox sighed.

"Will the Six Princes use this to help Yi Guo reverse the defeat?" Shen Xiao then asked.

"There are only a few thousand people under the command of the six princes, and in order to lure Yelu into the quicksand, they first marched north, and then went west for a day. "But his army is not far from the battlefield where the four princes of the United States and the king of Fu are fighting. ”

"The fourth prince of Weiguo, who returned from danger, and the sixth prince of Yiguo are cousins. As soon as Gonghu said this, he and Shen Xiao immediately glanced at each other, and the two of them were worried about the same thing.

Trolling quickly reacted, so he said:

"I'm going to send a message to remind His Royal Highness King Fu. ”

"It's too far to be late. Shen Xiao shook her head and said, "With the strength of King Fu, it is not difficult to retreat with his whole body, but in this way, the two armies are evenly matched, and neither of them will have the ability to eat each other, and the emperor should not let the war go on in vain." ”

"Now we are only waiting for an opportunity for an armistice, and if the country is destroyed, the war will cease for all countries. All that remains is to settle the gains and losses. Gonghu said, "I really want to go back to the palace as soon as possible, live in our original courtyard, and live a peaceful life." ”

Several people were silent for a while, looked into the distance, and suddenly raised their voice:

"The Constant Army is here. ”

Shen Xiao turned her eyes when she heard this, and the inexplicable emotion in her eyes flashed. Zhan Dusk, the palace master of the Demon Palace, is here. After being stunned for a moment, Shen Xiao instructed Troll:

"Please go to the guest hall later, and the fourth master and I will go out of the city to welcome them in. ”

"Yes. Trolley nodded, and turned to step back.

Trolle then ordered the guards to open the gates.

In Yincheng City, Shen Xiao ordered people to clean up a few side rooms in the side compartment of the county mansion for a few people to live temporarily. It was outside one of the wings that Tusee walked to Chan'er and reported the news of Heng's army entering the city.

Since going to the battlefield, she has been running around for several months, and her clothes are all based on the convenience of stretching, and on this day, Chan'er was only slightly dressed up, wearing a moon-white long skirt, and her sideburns were lightly pulled down on one side, with a bit of the appearance of the county lord.

Chan'er moved to the guest hall, and after a while, she saw a girl in green clothes, a man in a camel-colored robe, and a man in white coming from afar. When the girl in Tsing Yi saw Chan'er, she couldn't help but speed up her pace, trotted over first, and shouted with joy on her face:

"Sister Chanyuan. ”

"Lan Hui!" Chan'er was really a little surprised when she saw the person coming, and at the same time she was very surprised, she stepped forward and took Mo Lanhui's hand and said, "I haven't seen you for many days, everything is okay?"

"I'm okay, Brother Du Lieutenant saved me and stayed in his barracks. But...... It's a long story. Mo Lanhui stopped talking, turned his head, and two men behind him had also walked over.

"Brother Qi. Chan'er greeted the man in the camel-colored robe, and was attracted by the white figure.

Zhan Duxiao stood quietly opposite Chan'er, handsome, and when Chan'er looked at the past, she smiled, warm as jade.

Chan'er and Zhan Duxiao stared at each other, silent for a moment, Shen Xiao and Gonghu then walked into the guest hall, Chan'er caught a glimpse of Shen Xiao's gaze, didn't want to be too deliberate, only whispered to Zhan Duxiao:

"Brother Zhan. ”

Zhan Duxiao listened to Chan'er's address to him change from "Dusk" to "Brother Zhan", although there was a trace of loss in his heart, his expression was as usual, and he didn't want to add to the bitterness in Chan'er's heart.

"Lan Hui heard that you were here, and I really wanted to see you, so we came over together and said hello to you. You and Lan Hui will talk for a while, and after we are done with our business, I will come and see you. Qi Fan said to Chan'er.

"Hmm. Chan'er looked at Qi Fan and nodded.

After the four of them left, only Chan'er and Mo Lanhui were left in the house, and the two told each other about their experiences since they separated. It can be seen that after a parting of life and death, Mo Lanhui has grown a lot, and her expression is full of courage and perseverance, and she is no longer the carefree girl in Mofu.

"What are you going to do in the future, go back to Hengdu's home?" Chan'er asked.

"Brother Du Wei promised me that after the war subsided, he would send me back wherever I wanted to go. Mo Lanhui paused, and then said, "But Belvedere, I can't go back." ”

"Why?"

"Originally, I wanted to stay in the house, first, for the funeral of my son-in-law and Shibo, and second, there was no one in charge of the house, and I should bear my due responsibility. Today, however...... I ......" Mo Lanhui looked ashamed, and after talking for a long time, she only said, "Sister Chanyuan, what should I do?"

"Since you are in love, you haven't really married after all, don't you marry someone else for the sake of your previous marriage contract?" Chan'er held Mo Lanhui's hand and persuaded her.

"How do you know it......'s a match? Treat me very well, follow the etiquette, and never exceed half a point. Mo Lanhui showed her little daughter's mentality for a while.

"Brother Qi seems to be free and uninhibited, but he is actually very polite. He pities you for misfortune, how can you show your true heart before your heart is healed? But when you describe what he has done for you, and the little bits and pieces he has guarded you, I feel touched by the affection in it, you have been together for so long, you should have faith in him. ”

"Yes, I understand, it's just that we've been afraid to face it. Mo Lanhui recalled the scenes after getting along with Qi Fan, and unconsciously smiled, although a little shy, but said in a firm tone, "In the future, where he goes, where I will go." ”

Chan'er watched Mo Lanhui grasp her happiness, and couldn't help but smile and be happy for her.

"Sister Chanyuan, I know you won't marry into the Hengguo royal family. What about you and Brother Zhan?" Mo Lanhui said with a smart light in his eyes.

"I'm happy to see him like I do today. If the love is deep, even if you can't walk now, there will be a day when the peaks and loops will turn. Mo Lanhui didn't know that the object of Zhan Duxiao's "non-Qing not marrying" was actually Chan'er, she thought that this promise was the only obstacle between the two that was difficult to overcome, Chan'er cherished her simplicity of mind, and didn't want to have one more person who knew more and was plain and annoyed, so she just said so.

"I haven't seen you for a year, it turns out that the county lord of Chanyuan has his own sweetheart. Before the sound came, the voice fell, and Qi Fan walked into the wing.

Mo Lanhui thought that Qi Fan would hear what was in his heart if he took a step earlier, and he couldn't help but be nervous. Chan'er was suddenly known by Qi Fan, and she heard him joke about herself, so she was embarrassed for a while, so she avoided her gaze and only said:

"How are you alone, what about them?"

"Gong Fox sent a letter to his fifth brother about the transfer of military power. I originally wanted to come with Zhan Duxiao and Shen Xiao, but the two of them seemed to have something to say alone, and I was the only one who came back first. Qi Fan then said to himself, "I thought they hadn't seen each other before, but it seems like an old acquaintance, which is strange." ”

It was indeed the first time they met, and the content of their conversation alone before they met was afraid that it was all about her. Chan'er was a little confused in her heart, worried that the two would lose if they didn't agree, but at this time, no one should intervene, so she could only trust those two people wholeheartedly.

~~~

Zhan Duxiao was dressed in white, and Shen Xiao was dressed in black, and the two faced each other, and there was a bit of condensation in the air. The two of them looked at each other for a moment, and they had a general understanding and judgment of each other in their hearts. Then, Shen Xiao spoke first:

"She is the honorable little county lord of Prince Gong's Mansion, and she grew up being held in the palm of her hand by everyone in the mansion since she was a child. I have the impression that she has always been simple, bright, kind and cheerful, and her life should also be spent carefree and under the care of her sweetheart. ”

"But when I first saw her, she didn't have the same smile as her peers, and sorrow lingered between her brows, and there was unspeakable pain in her eyes. Later, I realized that when she was eight years old, she suddenly suffered the tragic death of both parents, and the person who guarded her all the year round and cherished her more than herself was also missing. She was sad and frightened, but she had to hide it in front of others so that others would not worry. I looked at her like this, and I was very distressed. Zhan Duxiao continued, and the two of them told the same story in different tones.

That year, she kept her childhood promise and stubbornly waited for someone who didn't know if she would return. And there is a man, even though everyone thinks that Yiren is dead, he still keeps his promise of 'not marrying', just like she once waited, waiting for a little hope. ”

One day she appeared in front of the man, like her, and not her. She said she admired the man. Her beauty, her happiness infected the man, and although the man did not dare to accept her enthusiasm, his heart was shaken. He hated himself, failed someone, and hurt another. ”

Later, she remembered everything, and she was overwhelmed by the promises that had been forgotten in the depths of her memory and the sincere and deep feelings in front of her, so she also became a person who hated herself for failing someone and hurting someone. Her laughter has been mixed with sadness since then, and it seems that every time she laughs, she will be eroded by self-blame and guilt. ”

The man was very fortunate because she was the same person as her, and God had given him a great gift. And she is facing two different people, and seeing either of them sad, she will not be truly happy in her life. ”

"I heard something from Moge yesterday, and I didn't dare to let her know about it. Shen Xiao suddenly jumped out of the story, looked directly at Zhan Dusk, and said slightly abruptly.

"What's the matter?" Zhan Duxiao was stunned for a moment, knowing that what Shen Xiao said would definitely not be something that had nothing to do with Chan'er, so she hurriedly asked.

"The county lord of Helian felt guilty about the death of the three princes of the Victorian Kingdom, and vowed not to marry the little pavilion master of Moge in this life. The county lord was sad, and he had already gone north to return to Helian's house. Shen Xiao's eyes overflowed with sadness, "Although their sisters have different temperaments, they treat their feelings very similarly, and I am afraid...... I'm afraid that one day, she will be like the lord of Helian County, and cut off her happiness with her own hands. ”

"If I had never known her, she wouldn't have struggled like this. When Zhan Duxiao heard this, his heart was shocked, and his eyes darkened, and he said.

"I shouldn't have tied that heavy bond to her when she was only eight years old, and it affected her life. Shen Xiao's heart was also full of remorse.

"It's a blessing for her to meet you first. Zhan Duxiao shook her head and looked at Shen Xiao, her eyes were clear, and her words were completely sincere. Shen Xiao's dedication to Chan'er over the years, he is even ashamed of himself. And no matter what objective factors have created today's situation, he always has a sense of shame for Shen Xiao in his heart.

"I like someone, sometimes I turn my back on the whole world for her, whether she is right or wrong, I just do what she wants. Shen Xiao thought about the sixth brother Long Youyan and said, then paused, and then contacted herself, "Sometimes, it is her life and her happiness first, even if it goes against her will, even if she will not be forgiven one day, she will still move forward." I'm the latter. ”

"Am I the former? Zhan Duxiao's affirmative tone had actually answered his own question. In some ways, the practice of Zhan Dusk and Long Youxuan is very similar.

"I don't know which one is really good for her, but I probably won't be able to change it for the rest of my life, so that's all. I only want to do what makes her happy, not necessarily what she would like to see. ”

"So you're deliberately alienated and cold to her, hoping that she can let go of your past?"

"Yes, I want her to know her heart and do what she really wants. Shen Xiao's words were equivalent to admitting to Zhan Duxiao that Chan'er's heart was on Zhan Duxiao, and because of his self-esteem, he couldn't help but add another sentence, "It's not for you, if she likes others tomorrow, I will still make way for others like this." ”

"I understand. But I still want to say, thank you. ”

"There are still a lot of obstacles between you, so isn't it too early to say thank you? Shen Xiao's eyes flashed, she hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Don't let her go to the Night Country." ”

"What do you know?"

"It's just speculation at the moment. The night country is treacherous, and the rivers and lakes are unfathomable, and no matter which one you get involved in, there will be too much unnecessary trouble. ”

"Well, I'll take your reminder to heart. ”

"She must be in a hurry, let's go. She had to see two people to be reassured.

"Hmm. Zhan Duxiao and Shen Xiao looked at each other and smiled, and they really had a tacit understanding like old acquaintances.
