Gao Chengyan received a letter from Duan Lanting on the night before he left for the capital, which recorded in detail the battle situation in the past few days, including the death of Shen Zhiyan and Shen Zhizhang's decision to go on behalf of his brother. At the end of the letter, Duan Lanting asked if he wanted to tell Shen Zhizhang that the six princesses of the Northern Night Kingdom were fake hostages.

Gao Chengyan, who was sad and blamed himself in his heart, thought for a moment, and still wrote back to Duan Lanting with a hard heart, asking him to tell Shen Zhizhang exactly that the "sixth princess" of the Northern Night Kingdom was his wife who was nearly six months pregnant. But when necessary, you can use the hole card of Yuwenbai.

If you deceive, you will deceive, and then ask him for guilt.

Gao Chengyan stood by the window, staring at the watery moonlight in the courtyard, feeling uneasy and guilty in his heart, and the violent remorse made him feel painful, and he unconsciously shed tears.

He didn't expect that the conspiracy of the Northern Night Kingdom would play so quickly, nor did he expect that Shen Zhiyan would die in the Northern Frontier. He also thought that with Duan Lanting and Zhao Zhuhai here, he would be able to keep Shen Zhiyan...... As far as the Shen family is concerned, he owes too much from the beginning......

But now, Shen Zhiyan has sacrificed. Shen Zhizhang is different from Shen Zhiyan. Shen Zhiyan was deeply taught by the old general Shen Zheng that he put the country before home, and no matter what grievances he suffered, he could focus on the overall situation. And Shen Zhizhang grew up with a loose temperament, impulsive and reckless. If he knew that Jinshu was not in the Northern Night Country, he might immediately withdraw his troops and return to the capital.

But if he comes back, all his achievements will be wasted, and all those who sacrificed will be sacrificed in vain.

Thinking of this, Gao Chengyan sighed. Before he could react, he heard the door of the study slam open. He immediately looked back, but the person who came was wearing pajamas and a cloak to distribute brocade books with a stomach.

When Jin Shu broke into Gao Chengyan's study, there was only one lamp in the room, and the clear glow of the moonlight filled the entire room, as unreal as a dream. Gao Chengyan was dressed in iron armor and stood by the window, and the whole person was half-bright and half-dark by the moonlight divided by the window, almost melting into the moonlight. He suddenly looked back at her, and there was still a tear on his cheek that had not slipped.

Jinshu was stunned in place, she supported her waist with one hand, half-leaned on the edge of the bookshelf and asked softly, "Why are you crying?" ”

Hearing this, Gao Chengyan raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, turned his head, and asked in a flat tone, "Why are you here?" ”

"I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and I heard someone in the yard packing up my things, are you leaving?" Jin Shu asked suspiciously, "Where to go?" Did the rebellion begin? ”

"Tomorrow we will leave for the capital." Gao Chengyan turned his back to Jinshu, Jinshu couldn't see his expression, he could only look at his tall and majestic back and said, "Oh." She paused and asked, "What about me?" Still here? ”

"Hmm." Gao Chengyan said: "Your body is heavy, and it is difficult to move. After you give birth, the capital is estimated to have stabilized, and Shen Zhizhang should come back. ”

"And I'm going to have a baby here?"

"It's safe here, Duan Lanting's wife, Zhen, is a medical woman, and I have already asked her to come over to accompany you."

"And then?" Jin Shu asked: "What about after giving birth?" ”

"I will send someone to take you into Beijing."

Jinshu was not satisfied with this answer, she took a few steps forward and said, "You're done, can't I go home?" I am a woman who gives birth to a child in this unknown place, what if I die in childbirth? ”

What if your coup fails? You're patting your ass and walking away now, what's it to keep me in this place alone?

"You'll be fine." Gao Chengyan turned around and said, "How can anyone curse himself? He hesitated for a moment, but added: "This place is Suzhou, Gao Xun's territory." Gao Xun, you know, right? If...... If I have any accidents, someone will inform him to come and pick you up and take you back to Beijing. ”

"Oh?" Jin Shu shook his head: "It turned out to be Suzhou?" I thought it would be Hezhou, after all, we met in Hezhou. ”

"Do you remember that side of Hezhou?" Gao Chengyan reluctantly smiled and said, "I didn't expect to be seen by you at a glance." ”

"Hmm." Jinshu nodded, yawned and said, "Okay, you can set off tomorrow, I'll go back to sleep." It's a bit inappropriate to say that I wish you victory, so I hope you can try to have a good ending. Oh, by the way, can you take the time to tell my mother? She's very smart and might be able to help you with something. ”

"Okay." Gao Chengyan responded, and watched Jinshu walk to the door of the study, only begging her not to turn back and ask about the situation of the Shen family. When faced with Jinshu, he is always not very good at lying......

Terrible what is coming, when Jinshu walked to the door, he suddenly turned around and asked, "Is there a letter from Northern Xinjiang recently?" How are Brother Shen and Zhizhang good? ”

Gao Chengyan was silent for a while, he didn't know how to explain it when he opened his mouth several times, and after hesitating, Jinshu had realized something, so he walked back quickly and looked directly at Gao Chengyan, and asked nervously: "Something happened?" ”

"Hmm......" Gao Chengyan lowered his head and replied softly, which was considered to be an acknowledgement.

"Who?" Jinshu's whole person tensed up instantly: "Who had an accident?" You make it clear. ”

"Shen Zhiyan."

Hearing this, Jinshu only breathed a sigh of relief, and still asked, "What's wrong with the eldest brother?" Say it, don't be along, I'll find out sooner or later! ”

"Shen Zhiyan sacrificed." Gao Chengyan's tone was slow, and he said with great grief: "The Northern Night made a surprise attack, and Shen Zhiyan died in battle...... His voice became lower and lower, and finally he didn't say any more. But Jinshu didn't speak, only silent.

The silence of the night was like a silent accusation, and the depressed Gao Chengyan was about to suffocate, he couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at Jinshu, and saw her expressionless eyes standing, struggling to explain a sentence or two: "Cousin, I didn't expect it...... I really didn't expect the North Night Congress to suddenly make a ...... of fraud."

"There's a lot of things you didn't expect." Jin Shu sighed: "Shen Zhiyan, Brother Shen, is the most perfect and best person I have ever seen." You hurt him, Shen Zhizhang doesn't know how sad it is...... And you'll regret your guilt for countless nights to come. ”

"Will ......"

He wanted to replace him.

"So you're going to the capital tomorrow?" Jin Shu asked sullenly.

"Go." Gao Chengyan did not hesitate and said: "If you turn around, everyone will die in vain." ”

"Huh." Jin Shu raised his head and smiled mockingly, and asked with contempt, ridicule, and questioning in a posture that Gao Chengyan had never seen before: "Gao Chengyan, I'm curious, how do you define justice?" Victim Definition Justice? According to your logic, is it possible that our Shen family can also rebel against you in the future? ”

"I ......" Gao Chengyan almost didn't dare to look directly at Jinshu, so he had to stand with his back to her again, and after a few hesitations, he slowly asked: "Jinshu, do you believe in your previous life?" ”

"What do you mean?"

"Once upon a time I had a dream...... I dreamed of my father, General Shen Zheng, and General Deng Hua...... The three of them won the world together with the emperor...... But later, the emperor tabooed that my father had both the status of a prince and military merits. So one year, when the Hu people invaded, he took the opportunity to send my father and me to pacify the Hu people, colluding with other countries and my father's subordinates, so that my father died on the battlefield, and I have been bedridden for many years. From the age of eighteen to fifty-eight, I witnessed the decline of the Shen family, the disappearance of the Deng family, the fall of the Great Liang, and the expansion of the Northern Night Kingdom...... Until he was old, he died in poverty at home, but it was a foreign land, and he could only die with hatred. ”

Gao Chengyan's tone was soft, and he slowly told the story in his heart, and he couldn't help but lose his mind when he heard Jinshu: Could it be that Gao Chengyan is holding a rebirth script that comes back from the dead?

Daliang has her, Qin Yuhe, and Zhu Dongxu, three traversers, why didn't she think that there might be someone who would be reborn?

"And then?" Jin Shu couldn't help but ask, and hurriedly wanted to verify his idea.
