The sky was shining with dawn, and when Shen Ning opened her eyes, she saw Bai Yanxiao sitting on the bed with her knees crossed, looking sluggish. Shen Ning got up and walked in front of Bai Yanxiao, raised her hand and brushed her sideburns for her: "What are you thinking?" ”

Bai Yanxiao came back to his senses and shook his head: "Yesterday, you didn't call me. ”

Shen Ning smiled: "So you want to get up in the middle of the night? ”

Bai Yan smiled and looked at Shen Ning's bed: "Are you still sleeping peacefully?" ”

"Except for someone's dream talk, the rest are also alive."

"What did I say?"

"Shallot balls, lotus leaf bud eggs, braised prawns in oil......." Shen Ning read a bunch of dish names, and looked thoughtful, "Am I not entertaining well enough?" ”

Bai Yanxiao wanted to find a hole in the ground to get into.

"I'll go first."

"Let's have some breakfast."

"Nope." Bai Yanxiao's voice gradually faded away.

Shen Ning was slightly surprised.

For the whole day, Bai Yanxiao looked restless.

The setting sun stretched the figure of the woman in a raccoon cloth squatting by the river. A turbulent river flowed by, and a piece of clothing was taken away, Bai Yanxiao hurriedly chased after it, and a pair of hands scooped up the clothes not far away in time.

Bai Yanxiao saw Shen Ning standing behind him at some point.

"Why are you here?" Bai Yanxiao's face was slightly pale.

Shen Ning put the clothes into the bucket, took out a paper bag and handed it to Bai Yanxiao, it was a few buns.

"Master......" Bai Yanxiao felt a hint of sourness on his chest.

"What's going on?" Shen Ning raised her hand to caress Bai Yanxiao's bun, but Bai Yanxiao unconsciously took a step back.

Shen Ning's face was slightly gloomy.

"I had a bad dream, I'm afraid that I am too willful, and I will eventually affect you."

There was a moment of silence in the air, and then, Bai Yanxiao heard Shen Ning say word by word: "You, you have to believe me." ”

Bai Yanxiao's eyes turned red, and he took a step forward and buried his face in Shen Ning's arms.

"Silly girl."

Not far away, a soldier quietly led the person behind him to the river: "Female Officer Yao, she should be over there." ”

"You go down, keep your mouth shut, and your benefits will be indispensable in the future." Yaohua waved her hand lightly, and slowly poked her head out with a hint of pride in her eyes.

The surface of the river shimmered, the setting sun stretched the figures of the two embracing each other, and the pendant on Shen Ning's waist glowed with blue light, printing a gorgeous butterfly silhouette.

After seeing everything by the river, Yaohua's eyes suddenly widened, and an unbelievable look appeared on her face: "How is it possible...... The pattern of the pendant around his waist is exactly the same as the pattern of my guardian pendant! ”

The fingertips were tightly clenched, a trace of anger flashed between Yaohua's eyebrows, and he muttered: "It turns out that this is the butterfly stone, but let you pick up the cheap, you blocked my way, how could I let you get your wish." Yaohua hooked a sneer and brushed her sleeves away.

The starry night is like water.

Shen Ning stood alone outside the tent, looking into the distance, the black robe flying in the wind, cold as the moon.

Jiang Rin silently fell behind Shen Ning: "Childe, Xiao Sheng is almost ready, you can't delay it any longer, the border is about to start a war, you have to leave." ”

"Just today." Shen Ning put away the emotions in her eyes, untied the butterfly stone and handed it to Jiang Rin, "Put it on you for safekeeping, so that she won't notice." ”

After hesitating for a moment, Shen Ning took out a piece of letterhead from the placket of his clothes: "It's inconvenient to fight, you keep this for me." ”

After that, he no longer paid attention to Jiang Rin, and Shen Ning walked towards the place where Bai Yan smiled.

Bai Yanxiao rubbed his sour waist, got up and went back, and saw Shen Ning on the road that he had to pass every day.

"Master......" Bai Yanxiao pounced happily, really like the feeling of someone waiting for him to go back every day.

Shen Ning's eyes inadvertently crossed the doting, and he reached out to straighten Bai Yanxiao's hair, "Let's go." ”

As soon as he entered the account, Bai Yanxiao saw that the table was full of dishes, scallion balls, lotus leaf bud eggs, and braised prawns...... It's all what I said in my dream that day.

"Master......"

"Hmm."

"You're so nice."

"If you don't eat it again, it's going to get cold."

Shen Ning quietly looked at Bai Yan and smiled for a long time, and then said, "Ah Yan, the battle is about to start in the next few days, you have to pay more attention." ”

Bai Yan smiled and didn't raise his head: "Isn't there still a master here and there?" ”

Shen Ning smiled bitterly: "I can't protect you all the time." ”

Bai Yanxiao raised his head as if he felt something: "Master, what happened?" ”

Shen Ning said: "Recently, Candle City has strengthened its guards, I will be absent from time to time, I'm afraid I can't take care of you, you have to take care of yourself." ”

Bai Yan smiled and breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't worry, what's so difficult about this, you can do it with peace of mind, I'll wait for you to come back and take me away." ”

Shen Ning smiled and said nothing.

"I'm so sleepy," Bai Yanxiao yawned after he was full of wine and food, "I don't know why I feel so sleepy after eating." ”

"Then go to sleep." As soon as Shen Ning's words fell, Bai Yanxiao fell on the table, Shen Ning slowly got up as expected, picked up Bai Yanxiao and put her on the bed, and covered the quilt for her.

Shen Ning sat on the edge of the bed, watched the person on the bed sleep like jade, looked at it for a long time, couldn't help but raise his hand and scrape the white smiling nose, then took a deep look and turned to leave.

For a few days, Bai Yanxiao didn't see Shen Ning much, Rao did, he was always explaining military affairs, and he didn't even go back to the account to eat with him at night. Bai Yan smiled and pouted, remembering what he said that day, and he was relieved.

The side hall of the Royal Palace.

"The regent has been victorious for several days, and I am afraid that it will not be long before I return, so I have ordered someone to pass on the news." Huang Qiang smiled.

Yaohua looked at Huang Qiang, and suddenly said coldly: "I don't care how you laugh at you, but I want that Shen Ning to live." ”

"Female Officer Yao, could it be that your designs are all for that General Shen....."

"I don't seem to have any reason to explain everything to the princess!" Yaohua interrupted.

The displeasure in Huang Qiang's eyes flashed, and she said lightly: "That's nature." Your Majesty still needs the advice of the Yao female official, so I won't bother. With that, he turned and left.

Yaohua looked at Huang Qiang's figure walking away, a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes, if she hadn't asked her, she would definitely not cooperate with such a self-righteous woman.

It wasn't until Huang Qiang walked away that the maid Chunhua opened her mouth to avenge her master's grievances: "It's just the identity of a cheap maid, that is, relying on being able to say a few words in front of His Majesty, she actually called the princess like this in exchange, looking at her arrogant face, it's really disgusting!" ”

A trace of viciousness appeared on Huang Qiang's face: "Except for Bai Yanxiao, I have nothing to ask for from her, she treats me like this today, why should I care about her feelings." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Make good use of Shen Ning, don't let go of this opportunity."

In the barracks, two soldiers passed by and kept discussing: "Have you heard, the regent has won great victories for several days, the five border cities have been stabilized, and the army of the Xin State has withdrawn!" ”

"I've heard about it, but this Xin State general Gu Beiyu heard that the use of troops is treacherous, how could he rescue and withdraw the troops so quickly, will there be fraud?"

"I heard that Gu Beiyu's eldest brother Gu Beiyuan is critically ill, the Gu family is a military general, and the two brothers are each leading the troops. I have heard that the Gu Mansion has a century-old foundation, tens of thousands of mercenaries, and the side branch clans in the clan have coveted it for a long time, if this Gu Beiyuan falls, those clans will definitely divide the military power, and Gu Beiyu will definitely go back to snatch the military power back! ”

"But the Emperor of the Xin Kingdom agreed to Gu Beiyu's withdrawal of troops?"

"The emperor of Xin was supported by the Gu family, and he calmed down the turmoil in the royal family more than ten years ago, and this emperor must be obedient to the Gu family!"

"That's right, so the regent is coming back! Although we are only the garrison defending the imperial city, but if we win the battle, as soldiers, we will definitely be able to get a light, maybe we will be rewarded something! ”

"That's nature!"

The two soldiers walked away quietly, Bai Yanxiao heard everything clearly, and slowly stood up, is he coming back.....

Turning around, he saw Shen Ning who had been standing behind him for a long time, and Shen Ning said, "In three days, we will leave." ”

Bai Yan smiled and nodded, it would take at least five days for Xiao Sheng to return here from the border.

In the distance, an eavesdropping soldier ran away.

Two days later.

No one expected that Xiao Sheng would arrive so quickly. Unexpectedly, when Xiao Sheng arrived in Candle City, he did not enter the palace to face the saint, but went straight to the camp outside the city.

"Report to the General, the Lord Regent has arrived!" Outside the door, the soldiers passed the word.

Bai Yan smiled at Shen Ning's eyes, and his face turned white. Before he could react, he was pulled behind by Xiao Sheng, who rushed into the camp. A long sword was thrown, pointing directly at Shen Ning's neck.

"Don't!" Bai Yanxiao hurriedly stopped Xiao Sheng.

"Don't?" Xiao Sheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Bai Yan coldly.

"You know everything?" Bai Yanxiao asked probingly.

Hearing this, a smug aura appeared on Xiao Sheng's face, the sword edge took a step closer, and a blood stain was drawn on Shen Ning's neck: "My woman, you dare to touch it too?" ”

Shen Ning's eyes were gloomy, and he met Xiao Sheng's eyes: "Oh? The Regent's Woman? Who can prove it? When she entered the barracks as a slave, she would only be a military prostitute, and I couldn't even touch a military prostitute? ”

"Shen Ning!" Stomping his feet with a smile on his face, what is he doing! He actually wants to provoke Xiao Sheng!

Xiao Sheng frowned: "Slave? ”

Shen Ning looked at Xiao Sheng with a clear expression: "When the people from the Regent Palace's palace sent her, they didn't tell me that she couldn't touch her. It seems that the regent only knows that I have pampered a military prostitute, but I don't know how she got to this point. ”

Bai Yan smiled and listened, and suddenly understood that Shen Ning used his own bet to complain for himself, since Xiao Sheng is back, the matter of escaping can only be discussed in the long run, Shen Ning is gambling, betting on how much Xiao Sheng knows, so that even if Xiao Sheng takes him away today, he can eradicate the people in the palace who want to kill him. Shen Ning actually gambled with his life for his own safety! Bai Yan smiled and his heart froze. Inexplicably, Bai Yanxiao only felt that Shen Ning in front of him was very unfamiliar.

Xiao Sheng's expression froze, and his eyes were bottomless: "Even so, you are not qualified to stand here." ”

Bai Yanxiao suddenly understood what Xiao Sheng knew, it must be that the person who reported the news only told Xiao Sheng that he was defiled by Shen Ning and did not say anything else, Bai Yanxiao hurriedly stood up and stood in front of Shen Ning: "Xiao Sheng, listen to me, that's an expedient measure!" He didn't touch me at all! It's to protect me that I deliberately make a show to make others mistakenly think. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Shengcai's eyes eased slightly: "But really? If it were for his life......"

"Is it true, you can find someone to test my body, General Shen, he saved me, if you kill him now and let me be the one who will take revenge, then I will die with him!"

Hearing this, Xiao Sheng was taken aback.

Xiao Sheng slowly put down his sword and looked at Shen Ning: "In this way, thank you General Shen these days." Immediately, he pulled Bai Yanxiao and walked out.

Bai Yan smiled and looked back, shook her head vigorously with teary eyes, and made a lip comparison, she said, wait for me.

Shen Ning clenched her fists and watched Bai Yanxiao being picked up by Xiao Sheng and gone.
