The two looked at each other silently, the air around them was exceptionally quiet, but Shen Xinghe felt a burst of cold air spreading from the bottom of his heart, making people shiver all over his body in this late spring and early summer season.

Is my reaction similar to yesterday's? Yes, indeed, but I have only been in this forest for two days, and it is not a shame not to be accustomed to the sudden appearance of wild beasts. But you don't seem to notice that yesterday I felt death from the bottom of my heart, and it felt like I had fallen into eternal darkness without any hope. But today is different, what I am afraid of is the strong murderous aura, the instinctive reaction of the weak to the strong, but I never thought that I would die there.

Do you know the difference between the two? Whether there is a sense of death or not, as if there is a possibility of survival, the gap between each other is world-wide.

So do you know why my conversion is? Why is my death, which was clearly audible last night, no longer present today?

Of course, you don't know, you only see my superficial reactions, how can you pay attention to the ups and downs of my heart?

I'll let you see, one day, not to mention the Demon Siamese Wolf, I'll have the whole forest under my feet.

After a few seconds of staring at each other, Shen Xinghe still didn't speak, turned around and took a few steps forward to distance himself from the man, and then focused on his own practice.

This night, Shen Xinghe didn't know how many times he practiced the moves until he was satisfied, and then he concentrated on practicing his ability until the next morning.

It was the first time he had spent a night in the forest in a conscious state, and the hours were unusually long, and the passing of the seconds was clearly felt; But it was also very short, and when the morning light pierced through the foliage to illuminate the whole forest, he would be surprised to find that the next day had quietly arrived.

On this night, the silence of the night was endless, and another person just stood quietly behind him, and the inspections and evaluations that had been said were never mentioned again, almost making people forget that they existed.

But there was no longer a wolf to disturb them, was it because someone didn't want to spoil the atmosphere at this time?

……

Shen Xinghe stopped practicing because he heard that person's words, and since he closed his eyes and began practicing, he no longer paid attention to the time, and I don't know how long it took for that person's voice to suddenly sound in his ears, flat and low.

He said, "All right, go back." ”

Shen Xinghe retracted his ability and opened his eyes, only to find that there was a light in the forest at some point, was it because it was morning? Strange, why hasn't a second wolf come over after all this time?

"Strange, where are the wolves, how can they ......" Shen Xinghe casually looked at that person when he spoke, but stopped abruptly after coming into contact with his still somewhat indifferent expression, the scene of last night appeared in his mind, Shen Xinghe's face also turned cold, and he closed his mouth and looked away.

He Ningzhou opened his mouth, "Let's go, go back to breakfast and take a martial arts class." After speaking, he didn't look at Shen Xinghe, so he took the lead and walked towards the exit.

Shen Xinghe followed behind him, his expression and attitude similar to his, but he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, why did he do this? Angry with yourself? Why get angry? Just because last night's performance made him unhappy?

It's strange that last night's events made him look like this? Also, he must have used some method to keep the wolf from approaching here last night, and why did he do this? Because you want to concentrate on your practice? Because you don't want to make yourself embarrassed again? Still is...... Both?

He Ningzhou, why can't I see through what you're thinking, you will secretly do these things that care about me and are good to me, why is this attitude at this time?

Shen Xinghe sighed lightly, he was refreshed all night, but he felt very tired at this time, it seemed that whenever there was a crack in the relationship with the person in front of him, he would feel like this, he wanted to speak, but he was speechless, with his current mentality, he really didn't know when he would be able to alleviate this impasse.

Two days later, it was Saturday, and after the martial arts class in the morning, He Ningzhou informed Shen Xinghe that he would start resting tonight and that he didn't have to go to the forest, so he got on his horse and returned to the palace alone.

Shen Xinghe looked at his back, and he couldn't remember the first time he felt like he couldn't cry or laugh.

From that day on, except for a few words that had to be said when teaching swordsmanship, the man didn't say a word to him, and his face remained expressionless, as if the two had never known each other.

In fact, this was something that Shen Xinghe couldn't have imagined, just because of his performance in the forest that night, that person showed him a face for so long?

He thought that the next time he encountered the Demon Siamese Wolf, he would definitely show that person well, because his ability was increasing day by day, and his perception of the Demon Siamese Wolf became more and more acute. Strange to say, for the next two nights, I continued to practice all night, and I didn't encounter a single wolf again.

This should be the person's right, really, the purpose of coming to the Demon Siam Forest is to attract wolves, and now he is casting a spell to drive the wolves away, so why is there any need to come to this forest every night to report?

Shen Xinghe really couldn't guess what He Ningzhou thought.

After dinner, Shen Xinghe, who was rarely free, came to Govis's room, thinking about talking to him first and then going back to the room to read.

Knocked twice on the door, Shen Xinghe heard Govis's voice and pushed the door in, and saw Govis who was sitting on the edge of the bed and wanted to say hello, but at this time he saw another person in the same room.

To be exact, it was another person who was on the same bed, that person was still lying on the bed, and the second brother was sitting in front of him, judging from the fact that the person did not close his eyes, the two should have been talking just now.

It's Hening Prefecture.

Shen Xinghe couldn't say anything when he spoke, He Ningzhou didn't open his mouth when he saw it, he turned half of his back to him on the bed, but Govis stood up kindly and took his hand and sat down at the table, while saying, "Why did the little brother come over at this time?" ”

Shen Xinghe had recovered from the shock just now, and said that he wanted to come and chat with him, and then go back to the room to read.

Govis smiled, "Okay, let's talk." ”

In fact, according to Shen Xinghe's original intention, he wanted to leave after a while, but he didn't expect to chat so happily that he forgot the time, and he didn't even remember that there was another person in the room.

……

Shen Xinghe noticed the existence of He Ningzhou again because after chatting for an unknown amount of time, the person who had been lying on the bed got up and went down to the ground, Shen Xinghe inadvertently saw him and almost asked when he came, but fortunately he remembered it a second before the exit.

"Did He Ningzhou sleep well?" Govis looked at him with a smile.

"Yes," He Ningzhou said, "I haven't slept normally in the past few days." He said this with an unconcerned expression, showing that he had no intention of complaining, and in fact he did not indicate at all that he knew that there was a third person in the room, but was only talking to Govis.

"Viva, I'll go first, I still have something to do when I go back." With that, he turned and walked towards the door.

"Okay." Govis got up to see him off.

“…… Wait a minute! Shen Xinghe, who got up next, suddenly shouted, as if there was some major discovery, both of them stopped moving, Govis was very curious about his next words, even He Ningzhou frowned slightly, and looked at him with his eyes for the first time, wondering what he was going to say.

"What time is it now?" Shen Xinghe didn't look at He Ningzhou, but said to Govis.

The latter blinked, turned to look through the window at the sky, "Now...... Anyway, it's nine o'clock. ”

“…… No......" Shen Xinghe was first full of horror, and then said with a bitter face: "Oh my God, why is this time, my plan is to start reading books at seven o'clock!" ……”

"......" Govis couldn't hold back, and finally laughed, and He Ningzhou shook his head speechlessly, especially "admiring" this person.

"I'm leaving." He Ningzhou said a word to Govis, turned around and wanted to go out again, this time it was Govis's smiling voice that stopped him, "Wait." Little brother," Govis said to Shen Xinghe: "You go with He Ningzhou, go back and take a good look at the book you want to read, and think about what else you have to do on the way." ”

"Oh." Shen Xinghe knew that he was being teased by Govis, so he walked to the door sullenly, said good night to Govis and went out with He Ningzhou.

The two walked on the road together, He Ningzhou was in front, Shen Xinghe was behind, the latter was hanging his head and angry with himself all the way, I don't know how many times he counted himself in his heart, he suddenly bumped into something to make him come back to his senses, raised his head and looked at it, and what appeared in front of him was He Ningzhou's cold and helpless face.

In the blink of an eye, Shen Xinghe remembered that he had followed this person all the way, and now that he had arrived at his room, he couldn't help but tug at the corners of his lips and walked towards his room around him.

"Wait." The unexpected voice made Shen Xinghe turn his head, he didn't expect this person to talk to him, and his expression was not as indifferent as before.

"Go back and have a good rest, you haven't slept well in the past few days, tomorrow after dinner in my room, our training will continue." He Ningzhou said.

"Hmm." Shen Xinghe agreed, turned his head and continued to move forward, but for some reason there was a shallow warm current in his heart.

On the weekend, Shen Xinghe got up at the usual time, and before going to He Ningzhou in the evening, except for three meals, a walk, and two hours of reading, the rest of the time was spent practicing skills in his own room.

After coming to the forest with He Ningzhou in the evening, Shen Xinghe learned the second form of the Sparrow Spirit Sword Rain this time, the Finch Dance and the Song of the Warbler.

He noticed that although He Ningzhou still didn't talk much tonight, his expression softened a little, and he stood aside after teaching the ten moves as usual, and he usually started practicing at this time.

For some reason, Shen Xinghe didn't want to be silent this time, he raised his eyes to look at the person who was still calm, calmed down, and said, "He Ningzhou, I want to tell you something." ”

It could be seen that He Ningzhou was a little surprised by what he said, and then he also looked back, and said with a normal face: "What's the matter?" ”

"Remove the barrier you have planted and let the demon Siamese wolf come over."

Shen Xinghe's voice did not fluctuate, because he didn't know the consequences of saying this, or, he had enough ability to face it. He Ningzhou looked at him, the two of them looked at each other as plain as water, the air was quiet, only a little breeze blew, such a night, He Ningzhou could see that person's eyes were shining with a kind of light, quiet and introverted, but behind it brewed turbulent waves.

I can't help but praise it in my heart, it's really a good look.

He Ningzhou nodded slightly, raised his hand and waved lightly, Shen Xinghe felt that the vision in front of him was missing that fluid and transparent feeling, and it was that person who removed the enchantment.

Shen Xinghe smiled back, turned around and began to practice.

He Ningzhou quietly watched his back, although he only learned the second form, his moves were very stable, calm and in place, without the slightest laziness and impetuousness, showing a solid foundation and a peaceful state of mind, which was very admirable.

Smiled lightly, at this time, more than one wolf was walking in this direction, and it was really exciting to expect his reaction.

Five minutes later, Shen Xinghe practiced his moves and began to practice his abilities.

At this time, two demon Siamese wolves pounced from the front and rear at the same time!

He Ningzhou flashed to the right when the wolf behind him rushed to nearly five meters, but the wolf couldn't stop the momentum and pounced straight towards Shen Xinghe!

The strong murderous aura came suddenly, and it could even tear the air in an instant, but today it was even worse than before, and Shen Xinghe felt that this time it was two wolves attacking at the same time......

His teeth chattered with supreme fear, and his hands involuntarily stretched out to embrace him, but at the same time, there was a strong desire in his heart to prove something......

At that moment, the ability of the whole body converged to the feet, and before there was any other movement, the body fell into an embrace and rose into the air in the next moment, and the feeling in my heart at this time was extremely reassuring.

……

After the two landed, He Ningzhou let go of Shen Xinghe and took a step back, the latter's breathing had calmed down at the moment, turned to look at him, raised his eyebrows, and the light flashed between his eyes like a winner, "How about this time?" ”

His appearance, how to say it, was very arrogant and arrogant, as if he was showing off something, but He Ningzhou smiled cooperatively and said softly: "It's great." ”

Shen Xinghe also smiled, put away all his arrogance, and his heart warmed up because of his praise, like a lake blown by a spring breeze, the warmth was shallow but long, which was Shen Xinghe's favorite feeling.

Although he was puzzled at the time, he gradually understood that the performance that He Ningzhou wanted to see was not to avoid the demon wolf, but to restrain his fear and make a dodge action, which also proved a lot of things at the same time.

I was happy in my heart, but Shen Xinghe's steadiness didn't last long, and after looking at each other for a moment, a touch of cunning surged in his eyes, and then he raised his head, quite like a domineering child, "I also think it's great." Although you are very satisfied with my performance, I am very dissatisfied with your previous attitude, so from now on, you are fine, don't come near me, don't talk to me, don't be within five meters of me, and," he took a deep breath with a cold face, "don't appear in front of me." ”

After he finished speaking, He Ningzhou was silent for a moment, and then walked to a position five meters behind him as if he were fatal.

Shen Xinghe, who continued to start practicing, was extremely proud.

A week later, in the afternoon, Anlais came to Shen Xinghe's room and asked him to go to the main hall with him.

This is the second time that Shen Xinghe has come to the main hall, which also means that there should be something more important to happen.

At this time, there were three other people in the main hall, Govis was not there, after Shen Xinghe sat down on the main seat, He Ningzhou, who was standing behind him on his right, took a few steps back, Paulrot looked at him in surprise, but An Les made a gesture of holding back a smile.

At this time, Xiduo said: "Your Highness, the crown prince of Nashvet will hold a coming-of-age ceremony in a month and a half, and I will send an invitation to my country to invite you to attend, I don't know what you think?" ”

Shen Xinghe thought about it, the country of Nashvet and Shengyi are across the sea, and they are on the same road as the country of Lanlai Kalo, and they are both friends of Shengyi.

"Since people have sent out invitations, I naturally want to go, I wonder if anyone wants to go with me?"

"That's right," replied Anles this time, "and I will be accompanied by Bao and Heningzhou, in addition to three thousand navy and two thousand army escorts." ”

"Yes," Shen Xinghe showed a little unhappiness, "Why He Ningzhou?" I'd rather let Xitong go. ”

Xiduo was still expressionless, Paul Roth was shocked again, but He Ningzhou said to Anlais: "Since this is the case, then I ......" Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Anlaisi with his hand.

"Your Highness," An Les said to Shen Xinghe Road: "According to the rules, Xi's duty is to handle government affairs, and He Ningzhou is His Highness's personal guard, so it should be accompanied by He Ningzhou instead of Xi." ”

Shen Xinghe raised his head to look at him with a cold face, although the latter's face was calm, there was a faint confrontation, this was the first time that the two sides had such a situation, and after a few seconds, Shen Xinghe stood up and dropped a sentence "Forget it." And he departed from the main house.

Paulrot didn't shake his head until his back disappeared in front of him, and said to Anles and Heningzhou, "He's ...... Angry with you? ”

He Ningzhou took a few steps forward and returned to his original position, without answering.

An Lais's expression was very solemn, and he didn't say anything about this issue, but said with a straight face: "Compared to this, I am more worried about whether the five thousand soldiers we sent are enough. ”

"Why?" He Ningzhou looked at him puzzled. Generally speaking, escorting the prince on an envoy with 5,000 troops is by no means a small pomp, even if he encounters pirates on the road, it is enough to resist, but since Ann has said this, he must have his reasons.

"I don't know if you remember, Lord Lulith asked His Highness about his martial arts and magic studies in two months, and two months after that, we were either still in Nashvet or on the way back, and I think there should be something big that I don't expect to happen at that time."

"If that's the case," said Paulrot, "go and ask Lord Lulith if five thousand soldiers are enough, and I think even if she can't tell us what will happen in the future, she can always tell us how to avoid it." ”

"Okay." Anles nodded, "I'll go tonight." ”

On the way back to the study after leaving the main hall, An Les and He Ningzhou said to him helplessly: "I said, you and Your Highness don't have an awkward quarrel every once in a while, okay?" ”

He Ningzhou glanced at him and said that it was definitely an exaggeration to say that every once in a while, but in retrospect, it was really that there were always contradictions between himself and that person. Sighing lightly, He Ningzhou spread his hands, "This time he made trouble with me first, and he didn't even let me talk to him." He Ningzhou, who spoke like this, didn't notice that he was also full of childishness.

Anles smiled, "You see, I also offended him for your sake." ”

He Ningzhou tugged at the corners of his lips, "Then you can coax him, he can listen to you." ”

Anles shook his head, "Forget it, let's stop talking about it, let's get down to business." The princess invited to Xibeiya this time and you are childhood sweethearts, and they made an appointment with us to set sail at the same time, maybe our two countries will have a friendship party or something on the way, you say, will she specially invite you to dance? ”

He Ningzhou's heart sank, and his face was much colder, but he said: "Jump and jump, it's not that I can't." ”

"Really?" Anles rolled his eyes, "Then who should I jump with?" Why don't you just go for Your Highness, I like him very much. ”

He Ningzhou's face became colder and colder, "Then you can dance with him." After saying that, he ignored him and left first.

Anles stared at his back, meaningful.

Before dinner, Shen Xinghe sat in the room reading a book, and when he heard a knock on the door, he raised his head, only to see that the person who came was He Ningzhou, and he couldn't help but think that this person rarely came to find him at this time, and his expression was very formal.

He Ningzhou walked up to Shen Xinghe, "I'm here to inform Your Highness that tonight's martial arts class has been cancelled, and from now until Your Highness returns from Nashvet, all Your Highness's classes will be suspended, and the time will be arranged by yourself." He Ningzhou's attitude was indeed as Shen Xinghe thought, like a subordinate reporting work, but it was rare for such a scene to occur between the two.

"Got it, I'm sorry for you." Shen Xinghe looked at him and replied politely.

He Ningzhou nodded, turned around and left the room.

Shen Xinghe picked up the book again, but he didn't start reading it immediately, He Ningzhou's performance before made him feel subtle, and he felt that getting along with that person like this was really laughable, and judging from what he said, the process from preparation to progress was not suitable for class, it seemed that he needed to have a good consciousness, and he didn't want to do his job during this time.

After dinner, Shen Xinghe returned to the bedroom and was about to start practicing after reading a book for another hour, but another person came to his room, it was Govis.

Shen Xinghe thought of him when he heard that he was going to be an envoy in the afternoon, of course the second brother would not go with him, Nashvet was about a month's waterway away from Shengyi, so he had to set off in a week, which also meant that it was only a few days before he left.

Shen Xinghe was very sad, this feeling was like when Kriya left, and the reluctance and pain in his heart couldn't be stopped.

Govis still smiled gently, compared to Shen Xinghe, he sat next to Shen Xinghe, looked at him and said: "Little brother, I will go back to my fiefdom in three days, when you come back from your mission, I will probably not be in the country anymore, and we don't know when we will meet next time, you must take good care of yourself." ”

"Got it." Shen Xinghe pursed his lips, lowered his eyes, and the endless loss in his heart came up, wanting to say a lot but not knowing how to speak.

When Govis spoke again, his voice was finally a little low, "It's rare for our brothers to get together, and we are going to be separated so soon, and the second brother is really reluctant to let you go." ”
