54. On the way of attacking generals [15]
On the Way of Raiding Generalsγ15γ
The next day, He Xianyuan hadn't opened his eyes yet, and he habitually wrapped his hands, but there was no one next to him. He opened his eyes suddenly, turned his head to see, and there was indeed no one around him.
He touched the place where Han Yanran slept last night, and it was already cold, indicating that she had already gotten up. At this moment, the door was suddenly opened, and He Xiyuan thought that Han Yanran was back. However, when he turned his head, he saw not Han Yanran, but Bai Yinan's dead face.
"Why, was it that I was disappointed to see it?" Bai Yinan looked at him with a disappointed face, "Then I sue you, I came to see you, I also feel very sad, if they hadn't asked me to take care of you!" β
"But then? Why did she leave so early and go to Shan Lingyan again? β
"Who knows? When she comes back, you can ask her to find out. Bai Yinan shrugged his shoulders, he carried a stool to the front of the bed and sat next to He Xiyuan.
Seeing that he had such an attitude again, He Xiyuan closed his mouth and stopped talking to him. He was wondering if he had messed with this woman at any point. Why is she always very hostile to herself?
The whole room fell silent, He Xianyuan didn't talk to Bai Yinan anymore, Bai Yinan didn't bother to talk to him, he didn't want to talk to He Xianyuan in the first place.
I don't know how long it was quiet, but the arrival of another man broke the silence. This man is none other than Shan Lingyan.
"You're awake." Shan Lingyan walked in, with a hint of apology on his face.
"I woke up yesterday, you know." He Xianyuan looked at him, his tone was very flat, and he couldn't hear his thoughts.
Shan Lingyan walked to the side of the bed, "Ha, you still complain about me, you are all injured, you can't rely on me to lead troops to fight!" After saying this, Shan Lingyan paused, and he said to Bai Yinan again, "Miss Anan, can I ask you to go out for a while?" I have something to tell General He. β
Hearing him say this, Bai Yinan quickly stood up and put the stool behind Shan Lingyan, "You guys talk slowly!" After saying that, he hurriedly left here, he didn't like to stay with this He Xiyuan.
After Bai Yinan left, his position was changed to Shan Lingyan and sitting.
"Thank you for saving me, if it weren't for you, I would be lying here now." This kind of thing is only embarrassing for him to say when there are two of them.
"What's polite, aren't we brothers?" He Xianyuan said very casually, but very sincerely.
Although he is not an open-minded person, he can't forgive him for treating Shan Lingyan as a brother, but he deliberately wants to kill himself. However, at that moment, his body reacted before his brain.
By the time the thought of saving Shan Lingyan appeared in his brain, he had already been hit by an arrow. He didn't care what Shan Lingyan thought of him, but deep in his heart, he had always recognized Shan Lingyan as a brother.
At that time, he and Shan Lingyan were at the forefront of the army on horseback, and the soldiers on the opposite side rushed over in a sea of mountains. It didn't take long for the two groups of teams to fight together, and he also made an agreement with Shan Lingyan to see who killed the most enemies.
They fought all the way forward, and their bodies were covered with blood, and their faces were also stained. Just when he killed the 54th person and wanted to see what happened to Shan Lingyan, he found that the enemy general had been pulling up his bow and arrow, facing Shan Lingyan's direction.
Without thinking about it, he quickly rushed towards Shan Lingyan's side, and after the enemy's arrows went offline, he did not hesitate to shoot this way. In an instant, He Xiyuan rushed in front of Shan Lingyan and helped him block the arrow.
The arrow shot directly through He Xiyuan's chest, and before he could feel the pain, the whole person had already been shot off his horse and unconscious. After that, he didn't know anything.
"Yes...... We are brothers...... Hearing the word "brother...... Shan Lingyan was stunned for a moment, and then muttered carefully.
He Xianyuan looked at him and hooked the corners of his mouth, "Are you surprised that I would say that?" Or do you not see me as a brother at all? β
"Nope! You are my brother! All the time! Looking at his appearance, Shan Lingyan's heart suddenly felt a burst of guilt.
For so many years, He Xiyuan has always regarded himself as a brother, but he betrayed his brother. He said it was for the country, but it was just his selfishness.
Compared with other princes, his status is very low, because his biological mother is a palace maid turned concubine. Therefore, he has not been taken seriously since he was a child.
Saying that he is a prince is just a title. In the palace, those people didn't see him as a prince at all. He still remembered how his mother looked when she was bullied by those palace maids and eunuchs.
Therefore, he secretly swore in his heart that in the future, he would definitely sit on the throne of the "emperor" and let those who had bullied their mother and son all kneel down and admit their mistakes.
Slowly, he himself noticed that his heart had become darker. However, he can't do that much. He doesn't want to be like this for the rest of his life, to be an unappreciated prince for the rest of his life.
In the royal family, it was involuntarily. If he is not stronger than his so-called "brothers", then there is a high probability that he will die at their hands in the future. He did this just to protect himself.
"Shan Lingyan." He Xianyuan put away his smile and looked at Shan Lingyan with a straight face.
Originally, as a courtier, it was a crime for him to call the prince's name like this. However, He Xiyuan believed that the other party would not mind this kind of thing.
"Hmm." Shan Lingyan responded.
"How about I help you lay down this world?" In fact, He Xianyuan has always said this sentence to Shan Lingyan, but he has never found a chance. He didn't want to lose this brother.
"What did you say?" Shan Lingyan couldn't believe his ears.
He Xiyuan repeated, "I said, I'll help you conquer this world." In the future, if you can really become the emperor, I will definitely not be the one who stands in your way, because you are my brother. It's not a prince, it's you, you. β
Hearing him say this, Shan Lingyan's heart chuckled, did He Xiyuan already know his plan? He knew he wanted to hurt him.
"It turns out that you know everything."
"Well, I know. But I don't mind, I can understand you. Moreover, I also know that Ran Ran is an undercover agent you sent to my side. β
"Did she tell you?"
"No, I found it myself. It's been all these years, do you really think I'm stupid? Although people are generals like us, they all have well-developed limbs and simple minds, but I don't think I'm stupid enough to be stupid for so many years that I can't even see this thing. He Xiyuan did not confess to Han Yanran, only said that he guessed it.
Shan Lingyan's face was full of apologies, he always thought that He Xiyuan would be his biggest stumbling block, but he didn't expect that this "stumbling block" was for people who were sincere to him.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
The friendship between two men actually doesn't need too many words, Shan Lingyan didn't understand it before, but Tong GuΓ² saved him this time, so that he began to understand slowly.
"Can I ask you a question?"
"Just ask."
Shan Lingyan hesitated for a moment and said, "Why did you marry Han Yanran?" Is it because you know if she's an undercover agent that I arranged for you to be next to, or if she just did what your mother wanted. β
He Xiyuan snorted, "Why don't you ask me if I'm in love with her?" β
"......" yes, why didn't he ask He Xiyuan if he was in love with Han Yanran? Did he not think about it that way, or did he dare not ask the question, for fear that the answer he would get would be different from what he had imagined.
"I'm sorry, it looks like I disappointed you this time. Neither of these are true, I married her because I fell in love with her. He Xiyuan said.
Shan Lingyan was a little unconvinced, "How is it possible!" You've been together for so many years, and you haven't ever developed feelings for her! Why did you fall in love with her all of a sudden? β
As soon as he said this, He Xianyuan was also a little puzzled, indeed, he hadn't thought of this matter at all before. He carefully recalled when he first fell in love with her.
After thinking for a while, He Xianyuan said, "You're right, but we went to the battlefield together before, and from then on, I found that she seemed to be a different person. Whether it's her personality or the way she speaks, she always knows what I like and what I need, which makes me feel very caring. Slowly, I realized that I liked her. β
"So that's ......" Hearing his answer, Shan Lingyan smiled bitterly.
He felt this way too, obviously Han was still the same Han, but since she came back again after the last time they were separated for a year and a half, he found that she had changed a lot. Become...... He didn't even know him.
"He Xiyuan, you are so happy."
"Huh? Why do you say that all of a sudden? β
"Because the one you love loves you too." Shan Lingyan said.
"Okay." He Xiyuan smiled, "In the future, you will also have people you love and people who love you." β
Shan Lingyan nodded, and the wry smile on the corner of his mouth continued unabated. He wanted to say that the person he loved already loved someone else.
Before, he had always thought that Han's heart was on his body. Even if she and He Xiyuan got married, he still believed what she said to him on the night of their marriage. Now that I think about it, it's really a bit of a deception.
That day, they returned to the camp with the injured He Xiyuan, and when he saw Han's appearance, he understood everything.
The person she loves is not him, but He Xiyuan.
She didn't care about saving He Xianyuan, and during the time He Zhanyuan was in a coma, she picked up all the lists. If she hadn't really loved He Xiyuan, she wouldn't have done that.
This kind of Han made him feel strange and sad.
The two chatted briefly for a while, and Shan Lingyan left. It wasn't until after he left that He Xianyuan remembered that he forgot to ask him where Han Yanran had gone.
