Chapter 417: Elders

The wind at the entrance of the cave caused the flames to change direction slightly, and Xiao Yang flipped the hand of the rice soup and followed it.

He turned his head sideways to Shen Qiutan's pale but haggard but sincere face under the firelight, and there was silence for a moment, and then the wind passed without a trace: "There is no need for this. ”

"Hmm." Xu knew that it was his mother who was holding him, and the newborn baby was quickly put to sleep, Shen Qiutan put down the swaddling clothes, and then turned around and asked Xiao Yang: "Why?" ”

Xiao Yang didn't answer, and Shen Qiutan continued to ask, "Why do you want to help me?" ”

"Do you want to die at the gates?" Xiao Yang's face was pale, but the meaning of questioning was obvious, and seeing that Shen Qiutan seemed to be frightened by him, he softened his tone: "Because my mother didn't care about me, and King Qi didn't care about you." ”

"How do you know that King Qi didn't care about me?" Shen Qiutan subconsciously defended Li Xuan, but thinking that the situation was critical at that time, it was indeed Xiao Yang who brought her out, and softened his attitude: "I mean, when I sneaked up on you, why didn't you hide, you could have avoided it." ”

"You found out?" Xiao Yang was surprised.

Of course, I found out, Shen Qiutan slandered, if it wasn't for Xiao Yang deliberately releasing water, where could she easily get close? That's why she couldn't figure it out.

"It's nothing, I don't want to fight back, I just want to end this fight sooner." Xiao Yang's voice was a little lonely.

He began to fight on the border at the age of ten, starting from the lowest level of soldiers, although he did not delay his studies, he did not delay every training and battle as a soldier. He still remembers that when he was eleven years old, he was caught in the cold of the winter and burned like coals, and he was light-headed and dizzy, but even so, he still went to work on time; He also remembered that the first time he went to battle, although he came back with all his beards, he had nightmares because of the first killing.

The enemy is also human.

He's killing people, and he's guarding more people to stop killing.

From the initial fear to the final strategy, it was not easy for him to go all the way, but whenever his body reached the limit, there was still a goal to support.

He is willing to protect the northwest defense line for the people of Daning, even if he is lonely all his life, and is even called "Hades".

He is tired and willing, and he is not even afraid of failure, because in his heart, he has never failed.

But now everything has changed.

Since her mother was famous for suppressing the mutiny, after a real mutiny, everything has changed.

Although he is still called Xiao Yang, he has more labels attached to him, even if he does not agree with those labels.

Those who tend to be inflammatory, and even quietly call him Prince Xiao, but the loyal and brave people will take him with him when they spurn what her mother has done, and never listen to excuses, of course, with his people, they don't bother to justify.

He attacked the city because he wanted to end the battle as soon as possible, so as not to make the north uneven and the world more turbulent.

But her mother quietly took the troops away.

Even disregarding his life, he gave the order to rush into the city.

If he doesn't run and has no way to retreat, there are many people in front of him, even if he is one person and one kick, and the person behind pushes the person in front of him, he can also be trampled to death.

Even if he knew that his mother was not an ordinary woman, and he had a lot of plans, he didn't expect that when this day came, he would be given up so easily. Abandoned by his biological mother......

Power, is it really that heavy?

Shen Qiutan didn't interrupt his contemplation, Xiao Yang's thoughts, she could probably guess some, and after a while, she said: "No matter what, Li Qi, I, and the child, thank you, cousin." ”

Uncle Cousin? Xiao Yang looked self-deprecating, and wanted to open his mouth to find that his mouth was full of bitterness: "No need to thank you." The rice soup is ready, I'll dry you a bowl. ”

"Okay."

The child fell asleep, Shen Qiutan was reluctant to wake up, drank the rice soup by himself, and saw Xiao Yang replace the pot of the rice soup and stew the pheasant he got by himself before.

Soon the crockpot made a gurgling sound, and the aroma wafted out.

Shen Qiutan opened his mouth and was discovered by Xiao Yang before he could open his mouth: "What, do you want to eat?" ”

"I'm not I'm not! I mean, Uncle Cousin, you don't have salt in this soup, I have salt here, do you want to put a little bit of it in? ”

Xiao Yang saw that she was staring at the soup pot and was obviously hungry, but she was still desperately explaining, but she took out the salt again, so that he couldn't find the slightest problem, and for some reason, his mood suddenly improved.

That's it, my cousin is my cousin, isn't it his elder's responsibility to take care of the younger generation?

After a while, the chicken broth was ready.

The pheasant tasted delicious, and it was just made hot, and Shen Qiutan, who had been tired for a long time, only felt comforted physically and mentally after drinking all the bowls of soup.

She let out a satisfied sigh, and Xiao Yang's body unconsciously relaxed.

"I heard that they are weak after giving birth, you settled early, and I went to guard the door." Xiao Yang thought about it, and then moved out a fire pile and placed it at the entrance of the cave, not because he was afraid of the cold, but because he was afraid of the moisture.

Summer nights, humid.

Shen Qiutan didn't expect him to be so considerate, even if he knew that he was Changshou's son, even if Changshou did not harm her family, but she still couldn't transfer all this hatred and blame to Xiao Yang, the previous thanks and cousin were sincere, she had always followed her own heart.

Seeing that the arrangement was almost the same, Xiao Yang said: "Call me if you need anything at night, I will be at the entrance of the cave." ”

"Well, thank you, cousin."

Xiao Yang didn't expect that Shen Qiutan, who was vigilant like a fried cat every time he saw him, would show a relaxed look in this situation, he only sighed that creation made people.

Halfway through, he suddenly asked, "Do you blame him?" ”

"Is it to blame him for not opening the gates and letting us in?" Of course it's strange, if Li Qian is here, he will definitely beat him first, and then listen to his explanation. Yes, even in this situation, she is still willing to listen to Li Chen's explanation, because she believes that Li Qian will not disregard the lives of their mother and son. Of course, there is no need to say this to Xiao Yang, she only said: "I believe him." ”

Believe Li Xuan, is there a reason for him?

Xiao Yang understood and walked out of the cave happily.

This night, Shen Qiutan slept peacefully, on the one hand, because his body was too tired for several days, coupled with production, his body's tolerance value was close to the critical point, and on the other hand, he was indeed psychologically much more relaxed about Xiao Yang.

But Xiao Yang didn't sleep all night.

Like countless sleepless nights, he looked at the starry sky on a clear summer night, and his thoughts drifted away.

also didn't sleep, as well as Li Xuan.

Although the poison of incense stained this time attacked, it lasted for a short time, and after he woke up, he hurriedly placed Guning City, and personally went down to the bottom of the cliff to find someone.

The torch illuminates the way forward, and Li Xuan is highly vigilant.

Will Changshou come to Xiao Yang?

Will Xiao Yang forgive Changshou?

Even if forgiveness, can the relationship between mother and son be the same as before?

A drop of dew on the leaves fell on his eyebrows, and he suddenly reacted, he was a little difficult to protect himself now, where did he still have the heart to care about others?

The city gate was not opened in time, and Qiu Tan must have hated himself to death.

He actually hated himself to death, and only hoped that Qiu Tan would be safe and sound, otherwise, he didn't know how to move forward in the future, and he didn't even dare to think about the days without Shen Qiutan.
