In the face of his stubbornness, I was more powerless. In this age where power is everything, there is no reason to speak of it.

I compromised: "Shen Qiushui, I won't leave, you send Mo Xiang back." ”

"Why should I trust you?"

"With your current rights, I can't escape with Mo Xiang at all, and you can't imprison Mo Xiang for a lifetime."

Shen Qiushui looked at me for a long time with half-squinted eyes, as if he didn't believe my words, but in the end he agreed.

"You're right, even if I send Moxiang back, you won't be able to escape." Shen Qiushui's cold eyes softened a little, and he sighed lightly and said: "Actually, don't think I'm threatening you, I just want to be nice to you, compared to Chu Nantang, only I can protect you now." ”

"I don't hate you, and I don't blame you, as long as you don't hurt Moxiang and don't go too far, I'll take care of this."

Shen Qiushui nodded silently: "Okay, you have a good rest, I'll come to see you in two days, and bring you Moxiang by the way." ”

After Shen Qiushui left. I breathed a sigh of relief, I don't know when I started, when I stayed with him, I would have a heavy feeling of pressure and suffocation.

I waited quietly in the mansion for two days, and found that Shen Qiushui had sent someone to guard below, and wherever I went, they followed.

He really kept his promise, and two days later, in the evening, he brought Moxiang over.

Seeing the intact silent incense, the heart that I was carrying was finally let go.

"Sister!" Mo Xiang pounced happily: "It's great that you're okay, I'm so worried about you." ”

I stroked her hair: "I said it would be fine. ”

"Someone brought it to you, you should be relieved, right?" Shen Qiushui raised her eyebrows, and Mo Xiang looked back with a red face, looking like a little daughter's shyness.

"Sister, these days that you are not by my side, thanks to Brother Shen who has been sending people to take care of me, if it weren't for Brother Shen, I might never have come back."

I answered softly and raised my eyes to look at Shen Qiushui: "Thank you, Adjutant Shen." ”

Shen Qiushui's good-looking thick eyebrows frowned: "You still see the outside like this, just call me Qiushui like before." ”

I looked back at him and didn't look at him again.

The atmosphere was a little solemn, Mo Xiang walked up to Shen Qiushui and took his hand affectionately: "Brother Shen, you sit for a while, I'll make you a cup of tea." ”

"Okay, I'm tired."

I stared at Mo Xiang speechlessly, there was no hot water in the house, and I saw her happily preparing tea.

At this time, only Shen Qiushui and I were left in the room, staring at each other with big eyes.

"You, you're not leaving?" I couldn't help but ask him.

He sat leisurely in his chair and smiled maliciously at me, "You just want me to leave so much? But I'm reluctant to leave now. ”

"This is Adjutant Shen's place, where do I have the right to drive Adjutant Shen away?" I turned my face away and stopped looking at him.

"I said, just call me Qiushui, you see me so much, it makes me a little sad. After all, we used to be very good friends. ”

I thought in my heart why Mo Xiang hadn't come back yet, and I had some idle talk with Shen Qiushui, so Mo Xiang walked in from outside with tea.

"I waited for boiling water from the kitchen for a while, and asked the people here for tea, this tea is probably not a good tea, Brother Shen, don't dislike it."

Shen Qiushui took the tea and smiled lightly: "How come?" I haven't had any good tea either. ”

"I'll go down for a walk, Mo Xiang, you can talk to Adjutant Shen." I got up and walked out of the suffocating room.

The two were still there today, and I looked back at them, "I'm not going to run away, can you not follow me?" ”

"Adjutant Shen has an order, where the Zen girl goes, we have to follow her, and there can't be any difference."

"Whatever you want, just follow it."

The stars are exceptionally bright tonight, I wonder what he is doing? Are you just like me, admiring the bright moon in the night sky?

Wandering until late. Thinking that Shen Qiushui is estimated to have returned to the barracks, when I go back, I don't think he will still be there.

I don't know what to say to Mo Xiang, which made Mo Xiang laugh happily.

When he saw me returning, he took his military cap, stood up, and said, "Now that you are back, then I will leave." ”

"Oh......"

"If you don't come back, I'll go out to find you together."

I pulled the corners of my mouth and smiled: "Adjutant Shen is serious." ”

He took a breath: "The more cold you are to me, the more I want to get closer, good night." ”

After that, he seemed to be in a good mood and left the mansion.

Mo Xiang looked at him suspiciously, and then looked at me again: "Sister, did something happen between you and Brother Shen?" ”

"No, don't think about it."

Mo Xiang pursed her lips, her fair little face was flushed with pink, she took my hand and said, "Sister, tell you something." ”

"Huh?"

"I think Brother Shen actually likes me too."

My heart was suffocated, and I frowned slightly: "Mo Xiang, he is entangled with Jiang Rongwen, you don't want to participate in it anymore, I'm afraid that the last person to be hurt is still you." ”

"Sister, you just think too much. Obviously, it was Jiang Rongwan's slut who seduced Brother Shen, now where will Brother Shen pay attention to her. ”

"Why do you think that the person Shen Qiushui likes is you? Maybe he'll like a lot of people? ”

Mo Xiang blushed, with a rare shyness, and said, "I saw that he was secretly hiding my portrait. ”

"Portrait?"

"That's right! It's a beautiful painting, with plum blossoms painted on it, and I'm standing in the plum grove looking at plum blossoms! In the past, I also went to Meilin with Brother Shen to see plum blossoms, but that time, I thought he had forgotten, but I didn't expect him to draw me. ”

I secretly gasped, that painting should have been painted by Chu Nantang for me, but when I moved out of the Chu family several times later, I didn't know where it fell.

I searched several times, but I didn't find it again, it turned out that he took it.

"Sister, what do you want?"

"Huh? No, nothing. It's late, hurry up and go to bed. ”

I can't stay here anymore with the Silent Fragrance, I have to find a way to leave!

Who knew that on the night of the same day, the war burned half of the city, and the northwest Liu army came to attack. Shen Qiushui packed up the number of people and rushed to the city to support.

In the afternoon of the next day, the news came that Sun Yan had been killed by the enemy. For a while, the entire group of dragons was leaderless, and Sun Yan had a son. It stands to reason that the Overseer died and was succeeded by his son.

But this Sun Qing has been spoiled since he was a child, and now Liu Jun's situation is fierce, and he can't avoid it, so he has already run away with his little lover and a lot of money.

Shen Qiushui felt that this was an opportunity, but no matter how much the overseer position, it would not be Shen Qiushui's turn.

He Xi, the deputy capital commander, was a middle-aged man in his forties with a fat body, and he was a little more courageous than a few Liangzhou officers who had idle meals.

With the support of several old ministry, Hosea became the new Overseer. Although Shen Qiushui was not convinced, he did not raise any objections.

Hossi was a rough man, he could fight, and as for marching and fighting, he had to rely on military advisors. But the situation is not optimistic. In the face of a powerful opponent, no amount of good plans can seem insignificant.

The war burned for three days, and the news from the front line that Liu Jiajun had crossed Niutou Town, and then fought further, losing the Jiangzhou Pass, almost lacking the skills to return to the sky, and several old subordinates who followed Sun Yan before, as well as He Xi, were ready to fight the army at any time.

Early in the morning, after reading the newspaper. Shen Qiushui crumpled it indignantly, and said angrily: "What a bullshit newspaper, write it all around!" The battle is not over yet, how do we know that we will be defeated?! ”

Looking at this situation, I am afraid that it is more auspicious than lucky, Liu Jun has always been fierce in battle, and the Liangzhou army is now scattered, if it starts now, there is really no chance of winning.

"Otherwise, let's go before Liu Jun comes. Where there is life, there is hope. ”

Shen Qiushui gritted his teeth word by word: "I won't leave, if Liu Jun enters the fort...... I'll take you and Murphy away. ”

"You ......"

In the early hours of the fifth day, there was a sharp knock on the door outside, and I woke up from my sleep.

Subconsciously walked downstairs and saw a man in a black cloak, the man looked slender, he took off his hat, revealing a handsome and slightly pale face.

I was afraid that I was still in a dream, so I secretly pinched the flesh on my arm, it hurt!

"Nantang! Nantang!! I rushed down the stairs and hugged him desperately: "Is it really you?" ”

He smiled, raised his hand and gently hugged me into his arms: "Finally, I finally found you." ”

"How did you end up here?" My heart tightened, and I looked back at Shen Qiushui violently: "It's you?" ”

Shen Qiushui held his forehead: "Young Master Chu, what is the point of you coming alone, but you didn't bring reinforcements?" Is it here to send him to death? ”

Shen Qiushui sat on the chair in front of the table with his long legs and his hands on his chest, his eyes looking straight ahead and not looking at us.

"Don't think about borrowing troops, the politics of the family are different, and the Nanyang and Beiyang armies are now incompatible. No matter how hard our Chu family relationship is, we can't mobilize troops at all. ”

"So, what is the point of your visit? Still ......" Shen Qiushui grinded his teeth: "You actually have such a stupid time, just to see Zen Xin, you did everything to break through." ”

Shen Qiushui suddenly stood up from the chair and approached step by step, Chu Nantang protected me in front of me: "Since I can come, I am about half sure." ”

Shen Qiushui stared at him suspiciously: "Do you know what you're talking about?" Liu's army is rising, and it will soon be killed, and the Liangzhou army is now scattered into a plate of scattered sand, how to fight? ”

I pushed Chu Nantang worriedly: "Yes! This battle simply cannot be fought. You shouldn't risk coming here alone, now go back! ”

Chu Nantang smiled: "Don't worry, it was always on paper before, but now there is finally a chance to experiment." ”

When Shen Qiushui heard this, the anger in his eyes decreased sharply: "Oh? Let's talk about it. ”

"We need to think long-term."

Shen Qiushui didn't believe him, and quietly touched the gun on his waist with one hand.

Chu Nantang smiled indifferently: "Liu Jun has already reached the Jiangzhou Pass, and now this situation is difficult to reverse." On my way here, I lurked in the town for three days, and I got some favorable information, and if you kill me with one shot, you yourself will have to die. ”

"How can I trust you?" Shen Qiushui gritted his teeth and asked word by word.

"You have to trust me, there is no second choice." He coughed twice, and I stepped forward to grab his hand worriedly, it was cold.

At this time, Shen Qiushui's subordinates walked in from outside and said anxiously: "Adjutant Shen, He Xi fled with the troops. ”

As soon as He Xi led the troops away, Shen Qiushui was even more isolated, and the army left behind was afraid that the army was unstable and it would be even more difficult to succeed.

"Who else knows about Jose's escape?" Shen Qiushui asked in a deep voice.

"At the moment, a few of us know." The man looked at us.

"Find a way. Stabilize the army left behind, and let it be known to the outside world, Overseer He was suddenly attacked and killed, and I will act as Overseer. ”

Shen Qiushui looked at Chu Nantang: "Young Master Chu, it's all up to you, if it doesn't work, we will all be buried in Liangzhou, and no one will want to leave!" ”

Nantang said: "Prepare a room for me, I'm going to rest." ”

Shen Qiushui took a hard breath and ordered, "Go and sort out a room." ”

"Yes." The men hurried upstairs and tidied up the room.

"What else does Young Master Chu command?" Shen Qiushui didn't dare to make too much trouble with Chu Nantang. After all, the two did not have any deep hatred at this time.

Chu Nantang clenched his fist to his lips, coughed a few times suppressedly, and his voice was hoarse: "Before Liu Jun arrived at the Jiangzhou Pass, he blew up the stone bridge." ”

"Blown up?" Shen Qiushui was puzzled: "If we blow up the bridge, although we can delay it for a while, aren't we trapped ourselves?" ”

"So starting today, cut down the wood."

"Ridiculous! By the time we finish building the boat, the battle will be over, and I'm afraid we'll be dead. ”

Nantang looked at him helplessly: "It seems that you are quite smart, so you don't need me." I'm tired and tired, so I'll go and rest first. ”

"You!" Shen Qiushui trembled with anger and nodded: "Okay, just do what you want!" ”

With that, Shen Qiushui turned around and strode out with a group of men, and ordered the guards at the door to keep an eye on us.

He was soaked with dew all the way, so I got hot water to find a clean suit and asked him to change it quickly.

He was not restrained, he untied his clothes in front of me, quickly took off his half-wet clothes, I wiped his body for him and said, "Hurry up and lie down in the quilt." ”

"Thank you for your hard work." He leaned into the quilt against me. Half-squinted as I was busy going back and forth in the room.

I went out and poured water and came back, and he was lying on the bed, closing his eyes and seeming to be asleep.

Probed his forehead, there was no fever, but his body temperature was a little low, and his appearance was so clammy and cold, he must have suffered a lot along the way.

Suddenly, he shook my hand. I laughed, "You're not asleep yet?" ”

"I'm waiting for you to come, I'm relieved when you're here."

I lay on the edge of the bed and looked at him for a moment. But I can't get enough of it.

"Don't do such a dangerous thing in the future, I'll be worried."

He propped himself up, half-leaned on the head of the bed, and sighed lightly: "I'm more worried about handing you over to Shen Qiushui, a pig." ”

I laughed: "Actually, I wanted to run away with Moxiang, but Shen Qiushui, this guy, looked me to death, and I didn't have a chance to escape." ”

He yawned: "I'm sleepy, I've been on the road for days and nights, and I haven't rested much." ”

"Sleep."

"Hmm."

He closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep this time. Outside, there was the sound of gunfire and bombs. I can't tell whether they called or Shen Qiushui has blown up the bridge now.

Anyway, that's after dawn.

The genius was about to dawn, there was a knock on the door outside, Nantang was still sleeping, he was so tired that he was afraid of waking him up, so I hurriedly got up and opened the door.

Come and say, "The Overseer has invited Young Master Chu." ”

"He's sleeping."

"The Overseer said that if he was sleeping, he would wake up Young Master Chu."

I gently closed the door and stopped the man outside: "You go and tell Shen Qiushui that he didn't wake up before he woke up." Let no one disturb him. ”

After sending the man away, I returned to my room to see that Nantang had been woken up.

"You can sleep a little longer, it's just dawn."

"No, it looks like we'll have to get up and deal with it."

Seeing that he was about to get up, I turned over and took the clothes that had dried last night: "I'll come." ”

He looked down at me and smiled, "It seems that my little junior sister is becoming more and more virtuous." ”

I looked up at him, my heart was full, and after I got dressed, I went downstairs with him.

At this time, breakfast was set on the long table, and although it was simple, it was clean and delicious.

Halfway through eating, the door was hurriedly pushed open, and I looked up and saw Shen Qiushui rushing in.

"According to your method, we have blown up the bridge by now......"

Shen Qiushui looked helplessly at Chu Nantang, who was calmly eating breakfast, and said with annoyance: "What a hell, this method is also called a method?" I actually listened to you?! ”

"Shen Dujun, don't be impatient, do you want to consider sitting down and having breakfast together?"

"How do you calm me down now? The weather is so cold, I am afraid that the river will freeze in two days, and when the river freezes, Liu Jun kills him, where do we flee? ”

Chu Nantang asked, "Did you go and call someone to cut wood?" ”

Shen Qiushui stared at him for a long time, and reluctantly admitted: "Called a few people over." ”

"A few people are not enough, you send more people, and when spring begins and the ice melts, we can come in handy." Chu Nantang said.

Shen Qiushui was slightly stunned for a moment, and shouted incredulously: "Waiting for the beginning of spring?" There is still a month to go until the beginning of spring, can we wait until then? ”

Seeing that he was so calm, Chu Nantang put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked serious: "It's useless for you to be in a hurry, now that you pull your Zen heart into the water and get trapped here together, I will naturally help you." ”

Shen Qiushui looked bored: "Okay, okay, I know that your Young Master Chu is a lover!" After this battle, will it be successful again? ”

Chu Nantang pursed his lips, and then patiently explained to him: "The person who led the army this time is Gu Chang'an, Gu Chang'an, this person is resolute and resolute in doing things, and he has a fateful point, that is, he is very suspicious. He has a few important members under him, one of them is called Li Huai, this Li Huai is very good at fighting water battles, you think of a plan to lure the enemy, capture Li Huai, everything is easy to say. ”

"And then?"

"Then, resign yourself to fate."

"You ......"

Shen Qiushui's face was so angry that his face turned pale, but he didn't want to attack: "Why did I believe you?" ”

"If you don't believe me now, it's okay, take advantage of the dark moon and high wind, and swim across the river."

After listening to it, I couldn't help laughing, Chu Nantang sometimes spoke, which was quite bad.

Shen Qiushui took a deep breath: "Catch Li Huai, right?" Okay, I'll get you right now! ”

said that he left in a hurry. I looked at Chu Nantang suspiciously, and asked, "How do you know everything?" ”

"Before coming, I investigated all the enemy troops, knew myself and the enemy, and then I could win all battles."

I thought for a while and said, "Actually, Shen Qiushui believes in you, otherwise at a critical moment, he would not use my safety to write to you and ask you to come over to help him." ”

It also shows that Shen Qiushui has indeed reached the end of his rope this time, otherwise he would not have reached out to Chu Nantang for help.

Originally, he wanted to use the forces of the Chu family and the Beiyang Army to borrow some troops to come over, but who knew that Chu Nantang broke through single-handedly, and his wishful thinking was wrong.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

See that he is still coughing. I couldn't help but wrinkle my eyebrows and said, "Is it from the wind cold?" Why don't you get a doctor over and have a look? ”

"No, it's just a little wind and cold, and it will be fine in a few days." He stood up and walked to the window, looked at the devastated city in the distance, and sighed softly.

This is just the beginning, the war is far from over, and too many people have died in the war.

"Nantang, don't worry, it will be fine in the future, we will all live a peaceful and peaceful life without war."

He looked back and smiled, "I hope that day will come soon." ”

Late at night the next day. Just when I was falling asleep, there was a bustling sound outside the door, and occasionally Shen Qiushui's high-spirited laughter was heard, Nantang and I glanced at each other and hurried out of the room.

"Caught back?" Chu Nantang asked him.

Shen Qiushui poured a glass of water and said, "Our people lurked on the bank of the river for a day and a night, and finally captured Li Huai. ”

Chu Nantang subconsciously asked, "Where are the people now?" ”

Shen Qiushui sneered: "Of course it was dragged out and shot." ”

After hearing this, Chu Nantang stroked his forehead and said, "You can't kill Li Huai like this." ”

"Why can't you kill? Our men sacrificed two of them in order to capture him, and now of course they have to be killed! Could it be that he can't serve him with good wine and food? ”

Chu Nantang frowned: "I have my own intentions to keep him, if you kill him now, all my plans will be disrupted." ”

Shen Qiushui stared at him suspiciously for a long time before he nodded compromisedly and said, "Listen to you." ”

Only then did he give the order not to kill Li Huai, but to detain him first.

After being locked up for two days, Chu Nantang said again: "Let him go to the logging, there is a shortage of manpower." ”

Shen Qiushui didn't understand his intentions, and finally the people he caught didn't kill and tossed back and forth, although he was unhappy in his heart, he did as he wanted.

After sending Li Huai to the logging, Nantang asked Shen Qiushui to put down the news, saying that the reinforcements of the Nanchuang King several thousand would arrive. King Nanchuang and Shen Qiushui belonged to the same government, but for many years, King Chen Tian of Nanchuang guarded his town. If people don't offend me, I don't offend anyone.

After Li Huai heard this rumor, Chu Nantang asked Shen Qiushui to relax the vigilance of the guards and let him deliberately flee back to Liu Jun's side.

Shen Qiushui asked him puzzled: "Are you Liu Jun's spy?" ”

"If you don't believe me, if you go and kill Li Huai now, you won't get anything. All the plans have come to an end, and they have all come to this day, and success or failure is just a thought. ”
