Shen Leng has calculated the time for the Rilang people to give twenty days, even if the princes and nobles who are farthest away rush over at the fastest speed, twenty days is definitely not enough, although it is said that the royal family of Rilang is also divided into various places, but there are few conflicts between the emperors and brothers and sisters of Rilang Kingdom, and they rarely exclude each other, so most of the royal family are still allowed to live inside and outside the capital.

The twenty days that Shen Leng wanted happened to be the time for those princes and nobles who were really in power to travel from the capital to Ailan City.

Soon after the sun rose, Shen Leng stood on the wall of Ailan City and looked at the coast, the architectural style of the Rilang Kingdom was really a bit chaotic, the stone building where Shen Leng lived was completely different from the Central Plains building, the castle with the spire looked a little unaccustomed, but it was just a residence, not all residences were homes, so not all residences were important.

For some reason, Rosanne felt that she could see melancholy in her cold eyes, and she was very interested in this young man.

"You wake up early every day?"

Roseanne asked as she walked over.

"Yes."

"Can't sleep?"

"I can sleep."

These few words of conversation are not nutritious at all.

"I saw you practicing here before dawn, and I saw you practicing more than once when I was in the country."

Luo Shan asked: "Is it that the competition in your Ningguo army is particularly fierce?" If you don't practice and don't work hard one day, you will be eliminated? I've always felt that countries that worship force are barbaric and ignorant, if you're tired of going to war......"

"Disgusted with conquest?"

Shen Leng glanced at Luo Shan: "Soldiers don't hate war, what soldiers hate is that they can't end war." ”

He was silent for a moment and then continued: "I practice, it's just a habit. ”

Roshan: "It's hard work to keep that in the habit. ”

Shen Leng didn't explain.

She doesn't understand.

At that time, he had only been with Mr. Shen for a long time, and he was still a little afraid of Mr. Shen and Master Cha, and he did not show this fear because he knew that his resistance and vigilance were hurting Mr. Shen's heart, which was a blasphemy of trust.

So during that time he always fell asleep very late, the adaptation to the unfamiliar environment was not as smooth as he thought, he slept late so he always got up a little later, until one day it began to rain at noon, Mr. Shen went out to run errands and did not come back, he hid in the house in the afternoon to read a book and fell asleep unconsciously, and no one woke him up, and when he woke up, it was late at night, I don't know what time it was, the darkness outside the house made him feel that it was not night but the abyss, and then when he was confused, he heard a rooster crowing, A moment later, Tea Master came out of the room with her wooden sword and stood in the courtyard to stab the sword in an almost mechanical way.

Shen Leng secretly hid in the room and watched, the room on Mr. Shen's side was not lit up, obviously Mr. did not return overnight, every day when it was still dark, the tea master would get up to practice the sword, and every day as long as the tea master walked out of the house, the lights in Mr. Chen's house would inevitably turn on, and Mr. was not there tonight, but even so, at that time, Shen Leng's strict and arrogant little girl Shen Chayan still got up on time to practice swords without anyone supervising her, he kept looking at her, watching the wooden sword stab at the ring hanging on the tree again and again.

Shen Leng was afraid of the night, he had never said it to anyone.

In the dilapidated small stable of Boss Meng's house, the dark night is the greatest torture for Shen Leng's spirit, the bats flying in the sky in the summer night are imagined by him again and again as demons who come to kill him, and the owls squatting on the branches and crying are imagined by him again and again as messengers from hell.

It was on that day that an owl on the tree outside the wall of the Taoist Temple suddenly cried, and the cry was really ugly, and the sound of the cold sound startled the tea master, and the wooden sword she stabbed out was deflected.

So Shen Leng subconsciously rushed out of the house, at that time he just thought that standing next to the little girl, she should not be afraid.

At that time, the tea master glanced at Shen Leng: "Woke up scared?" ”

Shen Leng nodded: "Well, I'm afraid, I'm not afraid next to you." ”

From that day on, when the tea master got up to practice the sword, Shen Leng would get up and practice, and later after Shen Leng entered the water master, this habit did not change.

Luo Shan asked, "If it weren't for the fear of being eliminated, why did you get up so early every day to practice?" ”

When she asked for the first time, Shen Leng didn't answer, and she didn't want to explain, it was the story between him and the tea master, why did she have to explain anything to another woman.

But when Luo Shan asked for the second time, Shen Leng looked into her eyes, but still didn't speak, Luo Shan actually understood his eyes.

Luo Shan was silent for a long time, and said to herself: "It turns out that I care." ”

At the same time, seek to stand.

In the courtyard of the inn, the tea master put away the ring hanging on the tree, this ring was made by Shen Leng, hanging on the neck like a pendant, not a good material but polished very smooth, because this is made by Shen Leng, so there is no sword mark on it, the width of the armor-piercing sword body of the tea master is not much smaller than this ring, but every time her sword can accurately pierce it without touching the ring.

She now has a lot of jewelry, and the only thing that hangs around her neck is this small iron ring.

Lin Luoyu came out of the room and handed the sweaty tea master a piece of clothing: "Put it on, just sweaty, the morning wind is cold." ”

The tea master put on his clothes: "Why doesn't Sister Lin sleep more?" ”

Lin Luoyu shook his head and pointed to the tree.

The annoying chirping of cicadas.

Tea Ye suddenly thought of the call of the thorn-headed eagle that day and startled him, and the silly boy rushed out of the house with two shoes, at that time she was a little embarrassed, feeling that she had lost face in front of the silly boy, so she asked him if you were scared awake? Of course, she knew that the stupid boy rushed out to let herself know that he was there, but the stupid boy nodded seriously and said, "Well, I'm afraid, I'm not afraid when I'm by your side." ”

Seeing the expression on Cha Ye's face, Lin Luoyu knew that she was thinking about Shen Leng again, so she smiled: "You two, when you think about him, most of you are thinking about you too." ”

"Nothing."

Tea Master said: "Not mostly, he must be thinking about me when I think of him." ”

Lin Luoyu snorted: "Show what." ”

Tea Master: "Show off your own stupid boy." ”

Lin Luoyu said: "I'm going to make breakfast, I don't have your share." ”

Tea Master: "Then I'll eat yours." ”

Lin Luoyu smiled and shook his head: "There is one thing I am very curious about, Mr. Shen left Qiuli I thought you would protect him all the way back to the north, but I didn't expect you to be so relieved, this seems to be the first time." ”

Tea Ye shrugged his shoulders: "Because, I'm really relieved." ”

Before she persuaded Mr. Shen to return to Chang'an, Zhuang Yong found her and told her a story, a story related to her but she was not the protagonist, the protagonist was Mr. Shen and another man, this story Tea Master knew, she was a witness but she was very young at that time, and it was Mr. Shen who told her this story many times.

The tea master watched Lin Luoyu washing vegetables and preparing to cook noodles, and asked, "Will the story between two men always be more ups and downs?" ”

Lin Luoyu was stunned for a moment, and looked back at the tea master: "You don't feel threatened because of a man, right?" Meng Chang'an? ”

The tea master was also stunned, and then took a sip: "Phew! ”

Lin Luoyu: "Then who are you talking about?" ”

"Mr. Shen."

The tea master leaned there and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead: "When I was very young, once we were stopped by the people who were chasing us, unlike in the past, this time there were not many people chasing us, only one ...... At that time, I was still ignorant, so I didn't take it seriously, not to mention one person, even if there were ten or twenty more, I couldn't stop us, but when the gentleman saw that person, his face became very ugly, and the first thing he said to that person was...... It's okay for me to die, but you can't touch her for my daughter, otherwise I will be ghosted, I can't remember the events at that time, but I remember this, don't you say it's strange? ”

Lin Luoyu's heart tightened when he heard this, and he looked back at the tea master: "Shang is nine years old?" ”

The tea master snorted: "Yes, besides him, who was the gentleman afraid of at that time?" ”

Lin Luoyu's hand cutting vegetables stopped there, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "What happened later?" ”

"Later, Mr. was defeated, and he couldn't catch a move, in fact, they fought more than one move, but it should be that Shang Jiusui was a little difficult to choose, Mr. has been rushing to attack, Shang Jiusui has been avoiding it, and then Shang Jiusui asked...... He asked, are you sorry for the queen? Mr. thought about it and replied yes, so Shang Jiu shook Mr. away with a palm, and when Mr. landed, his face was as white as paper. ”

Tea Master said: "Mr. said at that time, Shang is nine years old, can you help me hand over the child to Chu Jianlian?" ”

Lin Luoyu put down the kitchen knife, where was he still in the mood to continue chopping vegetables.

The tea master continued: "Shang Jiu said at the age of nine...... Shen Xiaosong, can you ignore life and death for her, she is your daughter? Mr. replied no, she was picked up by me, but I treat her as a daughter, Shang Jiu stood there silent for a long time, he said to Mr. You run away, escape to the person you think can protect you, such as Chu Jianlian you said, if I can't kill you in front of him, I will never come to trouble you again in the future, the seriously injured Mr. stumbled all the way to escape, Shang Jiu really didn't make another move, just followed far behind, he even found Lang Zhong to treat Mr. Injury, but Lang Zhong's ability is not as good as Mr., Chased away by Mr. ”

After a pause, the tea master continued: "Later, we found Mr. Chu, I was still very young at that time, in fact, I don't remember much, many things were told to me by Mr. later, he said that in Chu Jianlian's villa, Shang Jiu asked Chu Jianlian what if you can't protect him?" Mr. Chu said, I can't protect him and kill you, Shang Jiu and Mr. Chu stood face to face for a long time without making a move, and then Mr. Chu injured him with a sword, and since then he has really never come to trouble Mr. again. ”

Lin Luoyu asked: "So, Shang is nine years old and seeking to stand?" ”

"I've been here for a long time, but I didn't dare to see Mr., but I saw General Zhuang Yong."

Lin Luoyu let out a long breath: "No wonder you are so relieved." ”

months ago.

Shang Jiu looked at Zhuang Yong, who was sitting in front of him: "What should I do to make him forgive me?" ”

Zhuang Yong also looked at him and replied, "You should ask yourself, what should you do to untie your heart knot?" Your heart knot has never been Shen Xiaosong, but yourself. ”

Shang Jiu smiled bitterly.

Zhuang Yong pointed to the manor behind him: "He lives over there, you can go and see him at any time." ”

"I'm not going to go yet."

Shang Jiu lowered his head and drank tea and stopped talking.

After a long time, Zhuang Yong suddenly asked him, "Are you lonely?" ”

Shang Jiu raised his head violently: "Why?" ”

"If you weren't lonely, you would have traveled thousands of miles across the ocean, and even donkeys and carts had been transported."

Shang Jiu looked outside: "I was ready to sell it when I was in Pingyue Road, but I didn't give it up after all." ”

Zhuang Yong smiled: "Your business should be more important than a donkey cart." ”

Shang Jiu thought for a long time and nodded: "Indeed." ”
