Hua Yao, who was allowed to stay and have lunch together, breathed a sigh of relief in a place that others couldn't see, and he didn't know why, he had a feeling that he had escaped.

When he was bumped into by Xue Ruitian before, especially when he was seen by His Majesty, he always felt that he might not be able to pass this level, and even prepared for the worst, in case of bad luck and anger, His Majesty was furious and was forced to go home, he couldn't just be obedient. I must find a way to escape halfway, and if I run away, I will go straight to the south. No matter how difficult it is to walk on this road and how difficult the life is, even if he asks for food while walking, he has to go to the south, he has to find Liu Shuai, and he has to fulfill his wish.

Fortunately, his luck was good, His Majesty still agreed with his idea, and even approved him to stay in the Shen Jiajun for a few days, which was already a surprise for him, no different from pies falling from the sky.

Hua Yao was thinking about his own thoughts, while looking left and right, instinctively leaning towards Bai Meng's side, he really didn't want to get too close to His Majesty, Shen Guogong and General Shen, the aura of these three was too strong, sitting next to them, after this meal, I was afraid that I was going to have a stomachache. In addition, he and Xue Ruitian have not dealt with each other much since they were children, and as soon as the two of them meet, they can't say two words, and they will pinch each other. But the two of them don't have any deep hatred, they just look at each other unpleasantly, and they have nothing to do.

"A smart move." Bai Meng saw Hua Yao, who was sitting next to her, looking like a wronged little daughter-in-law who had been treated unfairly, and snorted, "Are you unconvinced, or do you have a grudge in your heart and haven't said it?" A dignified man, how can you still be in tears! Just like you, if you really get to Liu Shuai, it won't take two days for you to cry and shout that you want to go home! ”

"Commander, don't laugh at me, you don't know how I've been spending the past few days!" Hua Yao lowered his head and looked at his crumpled and dirty clothes, "When have you ever seen me like this?" ”

"Can't stand it?" Bai Meng handed him his cup of hot tea that had not been touched, "If you really abandon literature and martial arts, you will be neat now." He patted Xue Ruitian's arm next to him, "You ask Master Hou, during the war, it was normal for them to be covered in blood and unkempt. ”

"Actually, it's not a bad thing for you to become a soldier, at least it can cure you of this fastidious disease! It's good to love cleanliness, but it also has to be divided into time and place! Listening to Bai Meng's words, Xue Ruitian looked at Hua Yao with a smile, and looked at it from one look at the next, "You are like this now, you are very good when you are fighting, not to mention anything else, it is normal for our armor not to take off for half a month." I remember the most serious one, after three days of fighting, the armor was like a long body, and when I took it off, I accidentally pulled the wound on my body, and that was the real pain! ”

"You ......" Hua Yao was born and grew up in Xijing, and what he saw the most was the ruffians fighting on the street, the daily training of the soldiers on the school field, covered with dirt and mud, this was already the limit of what he could bear, but he didn't expect the real border pass to be like this. I...... I...... You guys...... You ......," he stammered for a few moments, without uttering a whole sentence, "aren't you generals?" How can it still be hurt? ”

"Take the lead, don't you understand? The generals are not injured? Whose logic is this? Looking at Hua Yao's little face and being frightened to the point of being miserable, Xue Ruitian was in an inexplicably good mood, "For people like us, there are not dozens of scars on our bodies. ”

"You...... You are talking nonsense! Hua Yao swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, and the fingers holding the teacup began to white, "Xue Ruitian, this son has indeed not seen much of the world, but don't lie to this son as a fool." If you have been injured so much, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother will still allow you to stay at the border? Didn't I transfer you back to Beijing a long time ago? ”

"Oh?" Xue Ruitian raised his eyebrows and poked Song Jue with his elbow, "Why didn't I know that you still had this mind?" ”

"What? What happened to me to you? Hearing Xue Ruitian repeat Hua Yao's words, Song Jue chuckled, "Oh, this! The queen mother had this idea, but I persuaded her. Seeing Hua Yao's surprised gaze, he explained, "I don't understand why, right?" The old grandfather and the old marquis had sworn before coming to Jiaping Guancheng that the Zhenguo Mansion and the Wuding Marquis Mansion existed to guard the northern border of Great Xia and ensure the peace of the northern border, and this is the duty, and one day the northern border will not need them, and they will disappear completely. ”

"The old grandfather and the old marquis are righteous!" Bai Meng sighed heavily, "As far as I know, they also require the descendants of the two families to keep this in mind, and not to have any wrong thoughts, the purpose of their existence here is to protect this side of the land and protect the people of this side." When my grandfather told me about it at the time, he was full of admiration, which is why I insisted on coming to Jiaping Guancheng. He looked at Shen Haolin and then at Xue Ruitian, "I heard that this is your family law, and all future generations must abide by it." ”

"Well, the first and most important article of the family law is this." Xue Ruitian nodded, "No matter what happens, without His Majesty's edict, you will never be allowed to leave Jiaping Guancheng." ”

"The first emperor persuaded the two back then, but they didn't listen, they insisted on doing so, and the first emperor had no choice." Song Jue shrugged his shoulders and raised his eyebrows at Hua Yao, "So, even if I and the Queen Mother have any ideas, they can only be ideas, and they can't become reality." But......" he glanced at Bai Meng curiously, "Good and decent, why are you talking about this?" ”

"He said that the Hou Ye lied to him, obviously he didn't suffer any injuries, but he had to say that he was scarred." Bai Meng patted Hua Yao's shoulder, "Say you're innocent, say you're naïve, you still don't believe it." How many of those who served in the army were not injured? Even I, the great commander, have been in the capital all day long, and I have been constantly injured by major and minor injuries, not to mention these border guards. He stretched out his finger and pointed at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, "What you heard in the capital is that the Shen family army won the battle again, and the grandfather of the country, the marquis, and the general beheaded the enemy marshal or something, but do you know how many times they almost threw their lives on the battlefield?" Taking the tea bowl that Xue Ruitian handed to his hand, he took a sip and continued, "You have seen their scenery and imagined that you can be so high-spirited one day, but you have never thought about what a big price they need to pay behind these scenery. ”

"Isn't that normal?" Xue Ruitian sighed, "Most of the people in the capital are like this, they see what they want to see, and what they can't see, they are completely ignored. However, fortunately, there are little white people like you, which makes us very happy. ”

"It's not just me, Your Majesty is the same. Every time there is a war at the border pass, especially the kind of very critical war, His Majesty can't sleep all night, he is worried about the grandfather of the country, the Hou Ye, the two county kings, and General Shen, for fear that he will fall asleep, and when he opens his eyes, he will hear the bad news of these people coming from the border pass. ”

"What's the problem? We just knew that he would be like this, so no matter how difficult the situation was and how many injuries he suffered, we would not send the news back. Xue Ruitian hooked the corners of his lips, "We said that unless we die in battle, otherwise, all we will pass to Beijing is good news." ”

"Good news, not bad news." Bai Meng rolled her eyes and looked at Hua Yao very seriously, "After listening to this, do you still want to go to Liu Shuai?" ”

Hua Yao looked at Bai Meng, then at Xue Ruitian, lowered his head and thought for a long time.

"You don't have to think about it for so long, you can feel it for yourself this time and you will know what you really think." Xue Ruitian laughed evilly, "Didn't you cry and shout to follow Liu Shuai?" We can fulfill you. ”

"Really?" Hua Yao immediately raised his head, "You can't fool me!" ”

"If you can pass my test." Xue Ruitian knocked lightly on the table, "If you can pass my test, without Your Majesty opening your mouth, Ben Hou will personally write a letter to the elder of the pavilion and personally recommend you to Liu Shuai." ”

"Would you be so kind?"

"If you say you're naïve, you won't admit it, and Ben Hou won't joke about your future. What's more, Ben Hou has always thought that boys must always come out to break through in order to really grow up! ”

"Hey, you don't talk to me in a teaching tone, you're not much older than me, don't always think about being the elder of this son!" Hua Yao rolled his eyes, "Look at it, this son will definitely impress you!" ”

"Really? Then I'll wait and see, I hope you don't let me see the joke. ”

"We'll see!"

Hua Yao glared at Xue Ruitian angrily, but the latter didn't care about his anger at all, and still had a very vicious, mocking smile on his face.

Bai Meng, who was sandwiched between these two people, looked to the left, then to the right, and finally shook his head helplessly, if he was to evaluate, these two people were quite naïve.
