Shen Yu felt very depressed, and after returning to the house, she sat in front of the desk and sat silently for a whole night.

Shi Nan brought desserts to coax her several times, but in vain, she could only persuade: "Girl, don't be angry with His Royal Highness Duanwang, he said that he would find Mr. Zheng, and he should be able to get it back." ”

"How can I be angry, I have to ask him, he is love, if he doesn't help, I can't complain about him." Shen Yu was angry, "I secretly hate myself for being incompetent, and I want to help Mr. Zheng, but I don't have any ability!" ”

"The girl is already very dedicated." Shi Nan peeled the lychee and sent it to Shen Yan's mouth, "In the past, Mr. Zheng had a major illness and a small disaster, didn't you and the master help take care of it, and some people usually make trouble, and we help with it." This time it's a scholar and a politician, to be honest, how can we have the strength to confront him? ”

Shen Yan heard this, and her nose was sour. Her uncle Jiang Wenying is a politician, even if he can suppress Xue Wanrong, he will never make a big fight for an inconsequential person like Zheng Xun, and finally looked forward to a Xu Yan, he is a prince, and he can obviously bring Xue Wanrong to justice, but he always holds it down, and he doesn't have the same mind as Jiang Wenying?

It's only to blame the Shen family for being soft-spoken, they have no ability, so what right do they have to blame others for not helping?

Shen Yu lowered her head and bit the lychee, and after a long time, she said sullenly: "Besides, what does he mean by catching me back?" ”

Shi Nan remembered the appearance of King Duan when he forcibly brought Shen Yu back, although he was also indignant at the time, but after thinking about it, he felt funny, so he had to hold back his smile.

After a while, I heard Shen Yu muttering to herself, "Forget it, he has already helped us a lot." ”

Xu Yan didn't come here at dinner, although Shen Yan was in a low mood, she was still not ambiguous when she should eat, and after eating enough, she walked around the courtyard for a while, and then went back to the house to sit and read. But today's events lingered in her heart, so she simply got up and took a cane and went out on crutches, only saying that she wanted to go to relax and sort out her thoughts, and she didn't ask anyone to follow.

At the end of summer, the sky is full of stars, clear and clear.

She walked slowly along the path among the flowers, and gradually came to the side of the lotus pond, and saw a person sitting in the octagonal pavilion from a distance, which was strange. Although the Lingering Garden is not a serious palace, the guards are extremely strict, and Shen Yu is not worried about what kind of bad person it is, so she walked closer and saw that it was Xu Yan.

In the dead of night, he sat alone in the pavilion, there was no half a figure around, and there was no candle or light, only the moonlight poured down, illuminating the lotus pond and sprinkling the small pavilion. He seemed to be in a trance, and from time to time he picked up the wine jar and took a sip, and then he didn't move for a long time, like a sculpture.

Shen Yan was stunned, and when she was hesitating whether to step forward, Xu Yan turned her head as if she had a sense, and when she saw that it was her, she beckoned.

The moonlight illuminated his face clearly, and when Shen Yu walked up to him, he saw that his eyes were already a little foggy, obviously he had drunk a lot.

Shen Yu sat down on the gooseneck chair on the other side, looked at Xu Yan a few times, but did not speak.

Xu Yan also looked at her and asked, "Are you still complaining about me?" ”

"The women don't dare." Shen Yu turned her head to look at the lotus pond, "Your Highness has taken good care of me, and the folk girl is grateful." ”

Xu Yan looked at her for a moment and smiled to himself. The two of them sat quietly for a while, and Xu Yan said again: "You can't touch Xue Wanrong yet, you have to learn to be patient." ”

Shen Yan looked at him in surprise, Xu Yan got up and paced over and sat next to her, "Xue Wanrong knew that I was eyeing him, but he dared to kill Xuancheng Zhenren and arrest Zheng Xun, where did he have such courage?" ”

"He ......," Shen Yu was speechless for a while. At that time, just thinking about the high power of His Royal Highness King Duan, and Xue Wanrong's crime was undeniable, as long as she made a move, she could restrain Xue Wanrong, but she really didn't expect this.

She couldn't help but look at Xu Yan inquiringly, but Xu Yan sighed a little, "Say you're stupid, but you're also smart." But you are clever...... This way back, the inn in the middle of the night has never stopped, I'm afraid you don't know, right? ”

And such things? Shen Yan looked at him in amazement, thought about it for a long time, and became more and more shocked in her heart.

When Xu Yan came to Luling in the name of collecting books, she was still suspicious, and she didn't understand how to let this god of war do the things of collecting books. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid this book collection is just a pretense, and Xu Yan's arrival in Luling should be something else.

Dare to make trouble outside the inn where Xu Yan stayed in the middle of the night, those people must be not small, are they Xue Wanrong's people? How could he have that kind of ability? Or maybe it's Qin Xiong?

But they are all courtiers, how dare they scratch the tiger hair of Xu Yan, the prince, like this? Unless there is someone behind it!

Is it the crown prince? King Wei? Even...... The emperor who is said to love Xu Yan very much?

After all, there is such an uncle as Jiang Wenying, Shen Yan has heard about the crown prince and the king of Wei, Xu Yan is a prince with great achievements, although he has always retired successfully, but he still has an appeal that is difficult for others to reach. With such weight, it is not surprising that if he leaned a little to one side, he would invite trouble.

The more Shen Yan thought about it, the more surprised she became, and finally asked, "Then the prince won't be in danger here, right?" ”

Xu Yan smiled, but raised his head and said: "Hundreds of thousands of troops in Mobei can't help me, a little thief, not enough to worry about." There was a sense of arrogance in his voice.

Shen Yan couldn't help but smile when she heard this. Yes, he is a famous god of war, how can he be helpless by these little things?

Somehow she was cheerful in her heart, and her entanglements with Zheng Xun were gone, she looked at the bright moon shining in the sky, and said with a smile: "It's that I think too narrowly." His Royal Highness's name of bravery has made the enemy army in Mobei frightened, and where will it be affected by these people. I can't help but imagine his heroic appearance in armor and leading the army to kill the enemy, and think of those legends and stories about him.

"I heard that His Highness once fell into the enemy army alone, and killed seven or eight hundred enemy soldiers alone?"

"It's not that exaggerated, a hundred or ten." Xu Yan took a sip of the wine jar.

"It is said that His Highness still has a wolf?"

Xu Yan nodded, "Yes, a little male wolf, who has now been trained to be a wolf warrior." He leaned on the vermilion lacquer painting pillar a little distractedly, "When it was young, it was timid and timid, and it would only hide in its nest and tremble, but now it is extremely brave." ”

Just like himself, when he was young, he would only hide behind the imperial brother, but now he can lead thousands of troops and horses, and he is full of spirit.

Shen Yan looked at him sideways, feeling that this scene was a little unreal. The god of war in the north of the desert and the emperor's favorite prince, when she first heard that King Duan was coming to Luling, how did she portray his image? At that time, I only thought that he was dignified and majestic, who would have expected that there would be such a time to sit and drink?

Thinking of the way she was frightened by him at the beginning, Shen Yu felt funny again, and said casually: "It must be very difficult and dangerous to go on an expedition, right?" I heard Tong Langzhong say that once they were trapped in the mountains for more than ten days, and they didn't even have hares to catch and eat. ”

"There are also interesting things......

Shen Yan didn't know how she fell asleep, but she listened to Xu Yan's story about Mobei, imagining the heroism on the battlefield and the spirit in the army, as if she had returned to the endless wilderness.

Fame dust and earth, the road clouds and the moon. He cherished his family and country in his heart, forbearance and planning, and moved forward with hardships and dangers, all he wanted was the peace and contentment of the people of Wei. In comparison, the life and death of one person and one surname seems too small. Even if he is eyeing Xue Wanrong, it is for the stability of the dynasty and the peace of the prosperous world.

He said, "The peace that thousands of soldiers have exchanged for with their blood will never be trampled on by dark power schemes." ”

Those things seemed too far away from Shen Yan, but she still listened to them with enthusiasm, and when she woke up the next morning, she could still clearly remember all the scenes from last night. I even vaguely remember that when she fell asleep in a daze, someone was caressing her cheeks and lips, lingering, and being soft. The slightly cool fingertips are a little rough, like a cocoon born after holding a sword for many years.

It can't be His Royal Highness King Duan, right? Forehead...... She must be hallucinating!

Shen Yan didn't make any more fuss, An An lived in the Lingering Garden for a few days, and by the beginning of July, she was already able to walk slowly, so she proposed to go home, Xu Yan naturally did not stop her.

The road from the Lingering Garden to Shen's house was not far, and Shen Yu decided to walk back directly. When I was about to go out, I thought about it, and I still took the crutch I was used to in my hand.

Xu Yan looked at her and smiled, "Aren't you afraid of being seen by Mrs. Shen?" ”

"Let's just say that I twisted my foot, anyway, walking is not in the way, and my mother doesn't have to worry." Shen Yan smiled slyly.

She didn't have much luggage, so Shi Nan put a bag and put it in, Xu Yan pointed out the little girl to carry it, and the four of them went to Shen's house.

Turning into the alley where the Shen Mansion was located, I saw someone riding a horse slowly in front of me, and there were seven or eight capable little men behind who surrounded the person, talking and laughing and walking forward.

That back is so familiar that Shen Yu couldn't help but be angry when she saw it-Huo Zongyuan, this guy actually dared to come here! Shi Nan also exclaimed in surprise, "Girl, that's not Huo ...... Little grandfather! ”

Shen Yu was bored with Huo Zongyuan in her heart, and she inevitably snorted coldly.

Xu Yan glanced at her and said, "Let's go." ”

Huo Zongyuan, who was in front, didn't notice Xu Yan and the others, and when he arrived at the door of the Shen Mansion, he turned over and dismounted, and ordered: "Come on, all stand in place, you-go up and knock on the door!" If they don't open it, we'll keep singing until he opens the door. ”

The little guy said "hey" and wanted to step forward, but before his hand reached the door knocker, he suddenly bent his knees, fell to the ground, and gasped with his legs. Huo Zongyuan didn't know why, so he stepped forward and kicked him away, scolded the useless thing, and was about to reach out and slap the door.

Just as he was about to stretch out his hand, he suddenly felt something hit his popliteal fossa, causing him to lose strength in his knee and fall to his knees.

"Which one who doesn't have long eyes dares to sneak attack the master!" Huo Zongyuan was furious, he just thought it was a member of the Shen family, and scolded him. Turning around and sweeping around, he felt a little familiar when he saw a figure walking in the distance, and when he looked at it, he was so frightened that his soul was scattered, his legs were sore, and he sat on the ground with his ass.
