The relationship between Xie Xiaoman and Huan Wen is probably difficult to really explain even to the two parties.

When the two first met, they were still on a cruise ship in Jiankang City.

At that time, Xie Xiaoman was seriously injured and in a coma, and he met "sincerely", which caused all kinds of forced marriage and other things later.

After the forced marriage, Huan Wen was very disgusting to Xie Xiaoman. She doesn't like the feeling of being taken advantage of, let alone being inexplicably regarded as her concubine.

So Xie Xiaoman used some small means, played some cleverness, and under Xie An's leadership, blew up this karma.

After the karma was broken, although Xie Xiaoman still had a grudge against Huan Wen, many things quietly changed.

For Huan Wen, his talent, his mind, what he yearns for, and what he acts, these are all appreciated by Xie Xiaoman, which is an undeniable fact.

Although sometimes, Xie Xiaoman himself is also thinking. Whether she mixed the Huan Wen in the historical materials with the Huan Wen she saw with her own eyes, even she didn't know.

For Huan Wen, Xie Xiaoman both appreciates and sympathizes.

In this world, there are very few people who sympathize with the strong. But Xie Xiaoman is obviously one.

A lot of the time...... In other words, most of the time, Huan Wen is the person in "The World Speaks New Words" in Xie Xiaoman's eyes.

It was Huan Wen who watched the tree he planted by his hands grow vigorously and the enclosure was wide, and said the sentence "The grass and trees are like this, and the situation is like this".

It was the one who was at a loss, looking for a way out, looking at the surging river. After all, he made up his mind and said the sentence "The big husband can't be famous for a hundred years, and he must be stinky for ten thousand years".

That kind of Huan Wen. In the eyes of historians, he is just a person who looks forward and hesitates, looks forward and backward, and even respects himself as a mercenary.

But what Xie Xiaoman saw was a person who was constantly groping and searching in a dark world, wanting to find a way out for himself and the world.

Ambition...... That's something you have to have, after all, the big husband was born in troubled times. How can you survive in secret.

Huan Wen is talented and has the assistance of Xi Chao, which makes him go a long way. But it can't reach the end after all.

Of course, in all fairness, even an afterthought like Xie Xiaoman can't tell what is after the end.

If Huan Wen usurped the throne successfully. Could it really be possible to redeem the endgame of the Eastern Jin Dynasty? This is probably extremely difficult.

This is like Xie Xuan's battle of the water. Although it is strong enough to buy a period of time for the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it is difficult to touch the glory of the prosperous era after all.

The current state of the Jin Dynasty is the result of constant turmoil in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms. Hundreds of years of devastation are difficult to repair in the hands of a generation.

Today's Central Plains is a mess, and it is full of holes and patches. It's hard to reinvent a new outfit.

Everyone knows his difficulties, Huan Wen is not a Chu madman. He is a person who is in the middle of a torrent, and he understands better what kind of weight the torrent surges in.

So he wanted the Northern Expedition, an almost desperate Northern Expedition.

He wants to let those sluggish scholars and doctors in the court take a look, and let Wang Xie take a look at those big families, as long as he is willing to do it, the north is not a monolith!

Huan Wen is such an image in Xie Xiaoman's heart.

An image of a loud voice, running and calling in the dark.

This kind of Huan Wen looks a little pitiful, a little sad, but on the other hand, it is unusually magnificent.

It's just that Xie Xiaoman knows a little more. It is in the torrent of history that any person like Huan Wen has not left much reputation, and in the world thousands of years later, few people have heard his name.

This sixteen-year-old boy who stabbed the enemy, this iron-blooded man who was self-respecting as a mercenary, this man who was lonely in the dark night, hoping to use the blade in his hand to break a bloody path...... After a thousand years, it will eventually be swept away by the long river of history, and there will never be much left.

Of course, it's not just him. In this troubled era of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, there are too many shining stars that have been buried, and the prestige of the sixteen generals of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is only passed on in the niche, and it does not shine dazzlingly.

Born in troubled times, this kind of thing is sad for many people. After all, "I'd rather be a peace dog than a troubled world."

But for characters like Huan Wen and Murong Ke, only in such troubled times can they really shine their own light.

But they are sad at the same time. Because the troubled times are also divided into three, six, nine, etc., such as the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, such as the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, there are too many heroes shining like wolves on the canopy, it is difficult to ignore.

But the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties are different, it is even more chaotic than ordinary troubled times, as if it is a mess.

Textbooks are reluctant to discuss more, and it is even more difficult for historians to bury their heads in the pile of papers to produce research results.

This is a dark chaos, although it has the elegance and chic on the surface, with the unique demeanor and openness of the Wei and Jin dynasties, but after all, it is only a superficial thing, something on paper. Cut it open and take a closer look, what these characters who are in charge of the wind are rooted in is a rotten and decaying land.

Of course, compared with the really dark Northern and Southern Dynasties, compared with the Rebellion of the Eight Kings and the Western Jin Dynasty of Yongjia Nandu, the Eastern Jin Dynasty is still a warm enough harbor to give the world a chance to breathe.

It is in this kind of respite that some people are drunk and dreaming like Liu Ling, some people are like Ruan Ji who sing long songs and cry, some people are like Xie An, some people are like Wang Xizhi who indulge in calligraphy and painting, and some people, like Huan Wen, squint a pair of cheetah-like eyes, watch coldly, and will throw their blood desperately at any time, making something ridiculous and pitiful, complaining and lamentable, but singing and crying.

Xie Xiaoman looked at the person in front of him, remembering the last time they met, he couldn't help but laugh at the cruel words he had left behind.

Huan Wen had already opened the wine jar, found three wine cups, and filled them one by one.

"What's so ridiculous?" Huan Wen heard Xie Xiaoman's laughter and asked, without looking up.

"I'm thinking, you said last time that if you see me again, you will meet each other in arms, and you will share life and death." Xie Xiaoman smiled and coughed lightly.

The aroma of the wine began to be wanton, and it was really a good wine, and it was rich and mouth-watering.

"Really? I don't remember exactly. Huan Wen smiled lowly, with a unique magnetism in his voice.

Xi Chao on the side raised his hand and rubbed his head, and found that what he was worried about before seemed to be a little superfluous, what these two guys were thinking, he couldn't figure it out at all.

A simple sentence of "I can't remember", and he is ready to deny his original words?

Even Xi Chao felt that his general was a bit of a scoundrel.

It's just a scoundrel, after all, Xi Chao is a person who is familiar with Huan Wen's temperament, and he knows that he looks like a guy, but in fact, he has the habit of being a scoundrel in his nature, and he is anxious. The thing in front of us is a standard example.

Xi Chao only felt that his head was big, and he thought to himself that Xie Xiaoman was not a fool, you Huan Wen said so now, could Xie Xiaoman just admit it?

To Xi Chao's surprise, Xie Xiaoman really recognized it.

Hearing Huan Wen's words, Xie Xiaoman only raised his eyebrows slightly, smiled and said nothing.

Xi Chao was taken aback, thinking that Xie Xiaoman's raised eyebrows were similar to Huan Wen. Thinking about it this way, the tempers of these two people are really similar, they will shoot the case if they don't agree with each other, and they are born with a ruthless blood, and they both have a kind of paranoia that does not hit the south wall and does not look back.

Xi Chao looked at Xie Xiaoman, then at Huan Wen, and blinked.

"I found a problem," Huan Wen handed the full wine cup to Xie Xiaoman, his eyes were smiling, "Every time you leave for a while, I see you again, it's when you're hurt." This is the case on the boat where we first met. It was like this in the courtyard of Xi Chao's back house before. This time, too......"

Huan Wen looked at the blood stains on Xie Xiaoman's body and his pale face, the corners of his mouth rose higher, and his expression was quite playful: "Is it because you have been injured too many times, or once you leave General Ben, you will not be able to do it?" ”

Xi Chao suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the tent had changed, and the whole person shuddered.

Seeing that even the oil lamp beside him began to become ambiguous, Xi Chao felt uncomfortable, and felt that he seemed to should leave at the right time, but he couldn't help but worry about Xie Xiaoman's intentions, he really shouldn't put the prey and the hunter in the same room......

So Xi Chao coughed lightly to show his existence.

But very directly, his existence was still ignored by the two......

Xie Xiaoman didn't answer Huan Wen's words, just took a sip of cold wine, feeling the slightly cool elixir sliding down the esophagus, and before it reached the stomach, it exuded a hot and scorching breath again, and couldn't help but feel very refreshed.

The wine was so fragrant that people were about to swallow their tongues together, Xie Xiaoman smashed his mouth, put the wine cup back on the table, and motioned for Huan Wen to have another glass.

Huan Wen smiled dumbly, the one that belonged to him hadn't had time to drink, and the other party had already urged him to drink.

He wasn't annoyed, and poured another glass for Xie Xiaoman with a smile.

"I'm the assassin you've captured in your army now, why isn't General Huan afraid?"

Xie Xiaoman held the wine in his hand, and was not in a hurry to drink it, at this time he raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Huan Wen with a smile.

Next to him, Xi Chao was slightly nervous.

"Scared?" Huan Wen chuckled, "If you really have the intention of killing me, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist it." If not, I have no point in fearing. In that case, what do I want to do with such meaningless emotions? ”

Xie Xiaoman smiled lightly, drank the elixir in his hand, raised his hand, and drew a talisman in the void: "The reason why people are afraid is not because of reason, but because of simplicity, because of instinct. ”

Xie Xiaoman said softly: "General Huan, you should be scared now. (To be continued......)
