That night, Chan'er and Helian Jialu lived in the same room, and the long-lost sleeping conversation gave the two of them space to share their hearts. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Jialu. Chan'er spoke.

"Huh?" Helian Jialu looked at Chan'er.

"Is there anything bothering you?"

"Why do you ask?"

"When I see you this time, I feel that you are much quieter, not as happy as before. ”

"Maybe it's because people have grown up and are no longer just about their emotions. Helian Jialu smiled lightly, but the smile was a little reluctant, and then he was silent for a moment, and then said, "Have you ever ...... If you hurt someone else's heart, you will be sad yourself?"

Chan'er's eyes dimmed instantly, and she responded in a soft voice:

"Yes. ”

When Helian Jialu heard this, he cheered up a little, propped his elbow on the bed, and raised his body a little, and said:

"Although you broke the hearts of others, the pain in your heart is no less than that of the person you hurt. ”

Chan'er nodded to Helian Jialu sympathetically, and the two simply sat up and sat opposite each other on the walls on both sides of the bed.

"Do I know this person you're talking about?" Chan'er asked softly.

"Sort of. The third prince of the Victorian kingdom, Ge Sheng. Helian Jia frowned slightly, and replied, "Some time ago, you should have heard about his rebuke to the throne, because I caused him trouble, and I lied to him. ”

"Except for the part of deception, fortunately, you were emotionally estranged for a while, and the third prince didn't have to bear the pain of gaining and losing. ”

"Gain and lose?" Helian Jialu heard Chan'er's meaning, and said, "Your sad man is not Brother Zhan, who is he?"

"The same person who wrote the letter to the Master today. He was originally a shooting lieutenant under his father, Shen Xiao. After his father was killed in battle, their brothers were determined to avenge the Lord, so he had a new identity - Shan Xiao, the master of the North Gate of the Star Altar. ”

"You and Shen Xiao, are you ...... Have you ever had a promise?"

"Yes. ”

"This was many years ago, and I didn't even know it!" said Helian Jialu with a surprised expression.

"At that time, I only saw you once or twice a year, and before I had time to talk about it, there was a battle between the Lonely Country and the Yi Kingdom, and everything changed after that...... Later, every year, Uncle Guan sent someone to pick me up to live in Yinchen Xuan, and I spent more time with Brother Zhe, so I told him about this. ”

"What did you promise Shenxiao?"

"Before parting, he said to wait for me for ten years, and when I grow up, he will marry me. I promised him to wait for him for ten years, but I couldn't keep that promise. ”

"You've lost your memory, so ......" Helian Jialu's eyes unconsciously flashed with sadness.

"Hmmm......"

"He'll understand. ”

"Brother Xiao......" Chan'er said Shen Xiao's name at the same time, her nose was sore, "On the day I fell off the cliff, he was actually in the Demon Palace, he jumped off the cliff with me, broke his leg, and sent me to Moge with his injury. He already knew about my amnesia at the time, and he didn't blame me, but he was heartbroken alone for the past few years. ”

"Even if you have been waiting for ten years, do you think you can really marry him? and Brother Zhan. Neither of them is in your Chanyuan County Lord's choice. ”

"yes, I still haven't been to Shibuya even yet. Chan'er smiled hard and said.

"If there is no result in the war in various countries, there will be a lot of things in between, and who knows what will happen in the future. But it's better to do whatever you want than to regret it in the future. If I can make up my mind for you, I will never let you go to the Night Country. ”

Chan'er listened to Helian Jialu's words, and subconsciously remembered the night when she and Zhan Duxiao "did what you want", not long ago, and it was like a world away.

Helian Jialu saw that Chan'er didn't talk, and said again:

"What are you going to do now, do you want to go back to the Demon Palace with Brother Zhan?"

"He's going back, I'll take care of Master here, and I'll stay with you for a while. Chan'er said.

"It's fine. The battle between the Demon Palace and the Great Prince of Yi is difficult to see, and it is not very interesting for you to fight and kill them alone. ”

"With Twilight again, I'm afraid we'll be reluctant to wake up in our dreams. ”

"What do you mean...... Are you going to let go of your feelings?"

"The deeper the bond, the worse it will hurt in the future. Besides, I also want to stay in Moge and grasp the movements of the Star Altar. ”

"I know that you plan to pick up Shen Xiao and leave the Star Altar in advance. ”

"He always tried his best for me and for my father, but he didn't know how to value himself. He said that I was his life, and that only I could make him cherish his life, so I added a sentence to the letter that my crippled brother had sent to him...... I have broken my trust with Brother Xiao once, and I can't abandon him again this time. ”

"You gave him hope again, you wanted him to live well for you, but with hope, maybe the next sadness will be another. ”

"Only by surviving can he have his own life. What I promised him was a promise that I would clearly keep, and he would know what I meant. ”

Xingtan is located in the northeast of Yiguo, only a day's distance from the boundary of the Tuoba family of the Weiguo Kingdom in the north, and close to the northern border market of Hengguo in the east.

Part of the forces of the Helian family and the Tuoba family of the Wei Kingdom were used to contain the tribes in the north of the Wei Kingdom, and the other part was inseparable from the battle between the Yi army in the border between Wei and Yi, not to mention that the main goal of the Helian family and the Tuoba family was to take revenge on Emperor Jing, and the Star Altar was not enough to attract the attention of the two families for a while. Therefore, the Star Altar set off a civil war against the Yi State at this time, and the north can be said to have no worries.

As for Hengguo, as a belligerent country, it is happy to see the civil war between the royal family of Yi and the Star Altar. Knowing Hengguo's mind of waiting for the results of the battle and then enjoying the benefits of the fisherman, the Star Altar grabbed a period of time to concentrate on the battle, from the Star Altar Lord You Fan, down to Shen Xiao, Fu Huan, Qi Rui, and You Wanqing's North Gate, Doumen, Seven Gates, and Star Gate's respective sects, all of them concentrated on waiting for Emperor Jing's counterattack.

For the current situation of wars all over the territory of Yi State, Emperor Jing has long been anxious, and except for the defenders of Yidu, there is no military force that can be used. Due to the situation, Emperor Jing had to send a message to the Orange Flame Villa, which was half a day's distance northwest of the Star Altar, and asked the owner of the Villa, Liao Wei, to mobilize the people of the Villa to compete with the Star Altar. He also said that after this battle, no matter what subjective or objective reasons there are, he will try his best to rule them out, so that Liao Chen, the second young master of Orange Flame Villa, and Shang Keer, the niece of the concubine, will marry as soon as possible, and Liao Chen can officially become Emperor Jing's nephew and son-in-law.

After Liao Wei, the owner of Orange Flame Villa, got the order, he took his sons Liao Chen and Liao Wu, and his subordinates Chang Li, Yu Tong, Qian Ling, and Xi Zheng to lead the masters in the village to the west side of the Star Altar to intercept them, and only the thirteen-year-old son Liao Wan stayed behind to protect the old and young women and children of the villa. On the northern battlefield, the Shu family's father and son suddenly did not have the support of Orange Flame Villa, and the war was inevitably a little tighter. But this is already the only way that Emperor Jing can come up with at this moment.

The strength of the Star Altar and the Orange Flame Villa is generally equal. The martial arts of You Huan, the lord of the Star Altar, are slightly better than Liao Wei, the owner of Orange Flame Villa, and the martial arts of Shan Xiao and Fu Huan under You Huan are slightly inferior to Chang Qian and Yu Tong of Orange Flame Villa, Qi Rui and You Wanqing can have the upper hand over Qian Ling and Xi Zheng, and the four of Shan Xiao's respective cronies are basically tied with Liao Chen and Liao Wu, and the rest of them are generally evenly matched.

More than two months have passed since Konglin sent a letter to Shen Xiao to inform her that Zhan Duxiao and Chan'er had accidentally fallen into a mountain stream. During this period, Shen Xiao was thinking about Chan'er all the time. Now the life and death of the person in my heart is unknown, even though Shen Xiao is in the star altar, her heart has long been unknown.

This fight with Chang Qian was completely used by Shen Xiao as an outlet to vent her emotions, because of her ruthless and sharp moves, Shen Xiao's disadvantage in strength was hidden for a short time. However, as the battle dragged on, Shen Xiao's ill of being on the verge of losing control - the flaw that was negligently concealed between attack and defense - was also revealed. The old and spicy like Chang Qian quickly seized this flaw, and used killing moves against Shen Xiao, pressing step by step, which suddenly caused an almost one-sided situation.

Unlike the martial arts level of the four people in Xingtan, the martial arts gap between Chang Li, Yu Tong, Qianling, and Xi Zheng is relatively large, Chang Li's strength is the strongest, and Xi Zheng is not at the same level at all. With You Wanqing's skills, she could defeat Xi Zheng in a leisurely stroll, which allowed her to distract herself from observing the battle situation of Shen Xiao not far away, and at the moment when Shen Xiao was in danger, she picked up a sword to block Chang Yuan's sword moves for him. However, You Wanqing's hasty response, after all, it was difficult to resist Chang Yuan's sword with all his strength, even if the sword edge deviated, the sword momentum still pierced Shen Xiao's left shoulder blade.

The pain on her body suddenly awakened the clarity in Shen Xiao's mind. If you don't hear from Chan'er for a day, you can't die here for a day. Shen Xiao thought to herself. The strong will supported him to retreat decisively, and after the sword body withdrew his body, Shen Xiao hurriedly sealed the acupoints around the wound, and then swung the knife again with his right hand, and together with You Wanqing, he faced Chang Li and Xi Zheng, who were working together in one place. After the opponent's strength was evenly shared, the situation was more favorable to Shen Xiao and You Wanqing, and the two swords combined to complete a beautiful counterattack.

~~~

In the evening, a carrier pigeon flew to the window of Shen Xiao's room and settled, and Shen Xiao, who was taking a nap in the room, was awakened by the sound of the pigeon's flapping wings. Enduring the pain in her shoulder, Shen Xiao stood up, walked to the window, untied the letter at the pigeon's feet, and then cautiously released the pigeon. Then, Shen Xiao walked back to the edge of the bed and sat down, unfolded the note, and saw two different fonts in front of her.

On the right side of the note is Shen Xiao's familiar font - the character of the sixth brother Long's remnant, which reads:

The county lord and the palace master of the Demon Palace are unharmed, and they are in the pavilion at the moment. Brother can rest assured. Be sure to cherish it.

There is also a line on the left that was supplemented by a slightly thinner line of small characters after the dragon remnant was written:

It is difficult to make promises, do not abandon each other, and look forward to the return of the monarch day and night.

I haven't seen anything written by Chan'er for many years, but Shen Xiao just knows that this line of writing is from Chan'er's hand. Eleven words, such as eleven hammers, the words slammed into Shen Xiao's heart, and she couldn't tell whether it was stinging or sweet, and Shen Xiao's eyes were wet with tears in an instant. Scenes from the past then hit my heart.

The night a few years ago.

~~~

Shen Xiao subconsciously took a step and walked outside the garden, but saw Chan'er standing under the moon.

"Brother Xiao, the time you have been away for a long time...... Take good care. Chan'er said with a smile.

Shen Xiao slowly moved a few steps, squatted down in front of Chan'er, and muttered:

"Girl...... You're too young......"

"Hmm, I'll be like you in another ten years. Chan'er winked innocently at Shen Xiao.

“…… Do you like me?" asked Shen Xiao.

"......" Chan'er blinked again, obviously surprised, but did not speak.

"Hate?"

"If you don't hate it, you like it, then you should like it. ”

"......" Shen Xiao's heart jumped a few times when she heard this, but she still wanted to stop talking. He had always done whatever he wanted, and this night was arguably the most hesitant of his life.

"Brother Xiao?"

"Girl, can you forgive me......" Shen Xiao seemed to have finally made up her mind, and suddenly hugged Chan'er in her arms while speaking, and kissed her softly on the lips.

A bright moon slowly rose from the treetops, and the moonlight quietly sprinkled on the two of them, forming a wonderful silhouette when it fell to the ground.

When Chan'er came back to her senses, the distance between the two had been restored. Shen Xiao still squatted silently in front of her.

Seeing that Chan'er was just looking at herself in a daze, Shen Xiao opened her mouth again:

"I've been waiting for you for ten years, are you willing to wait for me?"

“…… Well. ”

"You are my life...... Girl, I will definitely marry you. ”

~~~

The reunion of returning to Prince Gong's Mansion -

~~~

“…… I'm sorry, I promised, and I really want to wait for you, but you'll be back in ten years, and I'm gone. Chan'er's tears burst into the embankment, like a child who had done something wrong, crying more and more.

"Providence is like this, I don't think and I can't blame you, I understand that if you don't have amnesia, you will keep waiting stupidly. Shen Xiao grabbed Chan'er's hand, exerted a little force, and dragged her into her arms, "It was I who failed to save you from Yuan Jiutian's hands, it was I who caused you to fall off the cliff, it was I who caused you to forget my ......"

Chan'er suddenly remembered something, and asked eagerly:

"The man in black was also your ...... at that time"

"......" Shen Xiao did not speak.

"You and Yuan Sanxiang have fought, are you injured?"

"You're not talking about me. Shen Xiao didn't admit it, he didn't want Chan'er to know what he had done to increase her trouble.

"Brother Xiao......" Chan'er struggled to push Shen Xiao away and look into his eyes.

"Offended. Shen Xiao said and struck Chan'er on the back with her hand in the shape of a knife.

Before Chan'er fainted, she only heard Shen Xiao say, "Girl, forget your brother Xiao from now on, there will only be Shen Xiao, the attendant of the county lord of Chanyuan, in the future", and she lost consciousness.

Shen Xiao hugged the person in her arms tightly, and continued:

"But for me, you will always be you, my life Shenxiao. As long as you don't chase me, I will never leave you again for the rest of my life......"

~~~

The conversation between the lonely country Xuanhuang Yuan Zhao and Konglin, Feng Yuyang, and Shen Xiao-

~~~

"Please ask the emperor to let the county lord stay away for the time being. Feng Yuyang said.

When Chan'er heard this, she knew in her heart that there were some things that she was inconvenient to participate in, so she simply took the initiative to ask Emperor Xuan for her resignation:

"Since the emperor's uncle has political discussions with the courtiers, Chan'er will leave first. ”

Emperor Xuan bowed slightly in agreement, and waited for Chan'er to withdraw from the hall before he spoke again:

"If there is anything you need to be afraid of, you can speak up. ”

"When the last general was in Yiguo, he heard that the emperor intended to assign a marriage for the county lord, among which the two princes of Hengguo were elected, and I don't know if it was true. Feng Yuyang responded.

"The news of 'Le Qihou' is really well-informed. Emperor Xuan's words are tantamount to indirectly admitting what Feng Yuyang said.

"The emperor's idea should not only be to consolidate the in-law relationship between the two countries, but also have other plans. Shen Xiao took over and said.

"Oh, tell me, what I'm planning?"

"What the emperor wants is the fertile land of Hengguo, east of more than a dozen mountain ranges in Dongshan and the upper reaches of the Gugang River. Kong Lin looked at Emperor Xuan fearlessly and said slowly.

Emperor Xuan's eyes flashed with a fierce color, so fast that it was almost impossible to catch.

"It's just that the emperor has never thought that just marrying the county lord into Hengguo can exchange for such a rich dowry? It is true that the county lord's background is very special, but it is unimaginable that she will be of such great importance to the Hengguo Rui Emperor. Kong Lin continued, "Instead of gambling on an uncertain possibility with this so-called 'upper election' marriage, it is better to seize a greater opportunity and give up the 'upper election' at the same time, so that you can win the 'upper election'." ”

"The cavalry lieutenant is clear-minded, and the courtiers are not as good as you. Emperor Xuan's expression seemed to be smiling, and his eyes were shining with an unknown meaning.

"The last general will be dedicated to the emperor, so he will make such a suggestion. ”

"So what is your suggestion?" Although Emperor Xuan had already guessed a few points, he still expected to say it himself.

"The last general infiltrated Hengguo Beicheng with the county lord and went to the battlefield as individuals to help Hengguo defeat Yiguo. If he loses, the last general will be willing to cut himself off, and it will certainly not involve the emperor and the country; if he wins, it will be the emperor's good command, which is equivalent to selling the emperor a great favor, and I am afraid that he will not know how to repay the emperor because he has always been famous for caring about face?"

"Have you ever told Chan'er about your thoughts?"

"If the county lord knew, Fang Cai Yuyang would not ask the county lord to avoid it. ”

"The three of you agree and think so?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. Feng Yuyang and Shen Xiao responded.

"I know that Chan'er and the palace master of the Demon Palace have a good relationship, but this is not a 'top choice' or a 'top choice' anyway. ”

"The so-called 'upper election' of the last general is the choice expected by the emperor in his heart, and he will decide from the emperor. Kong Lin said indifferently.
