In the middle school of the Northern Lion, at the gate of the Chen Mansion, there are two stone lions. Tall and mighty, majestic.

Above the vermilion gate, there is a plaque engraved with the two big characters of Chen Mansion. In the distance, Xue Yan came on horseback.

After coming to the gate of the Chen Mansion, he dismounted. Lingering at the gate of Chen's mansion for a long time.

Should I knock on the door or not?

Xue Yan was conflicted.

Although he didn't spend much time with Chen Tianyu, after getting along for a few days, Xue Yan had a special feeling for Chen Tianyu. This feeling is like the spring rain in March, dyeing the peach cherry blossoms red, wetting the plantains, depicting the green mountains, and rippling the water.

This feeling is like smoke and fog, hazy, every time you want to catch it, it will always be thousands of miles away from you, but when you are far away from it, it leads you to unconsciously want to get closer.

Xue Yan led the horse back and forth at the gate of the Chen Mansion for countless laps, and after thinking about it again, he finally made up his mind and wanted to leave, but as soon as he turned around, the door of the Chen Mansion actually opened.

This door is really, it is better to open it earlier than to open it smartly! If he doesn't open it early or late, he has to open the door when he leaves accurately. Is this a joke God is going to play on him? It's a pity that it's not funny at all, this joke will only embarrass him.

"General Xue?"

Chen Tianyu's incomprehensible voice came from behind him, as if Chen Tianyu was very puzzled, why are you here.

Xue Yan turned around and responded with a smile: "General Chen! ”

"How could General Xue be at the door of my mansion?"

Xue Yan coughed twice and explained, "I'm passing by!" ”

Chen Tianyu nodded, "General Xue, you actually passed by, so do you want to go into the mansion for a cup of tea?" ”

After Xue Yan heard this, he was in his heart, but he still bowed and said politely: "Then, bother!" ”

Chen Tianyu summoned his subordinates to lead Xue Yan's horse to the backyard. She took Xue Yan into the mansion, and after passing through several corridors, she came to a lobby, and after the two sat down, the little maid brought the tea and pastries.

Chen Tianyu has always been happy and straightforward, and she asked directly: "How many days has General Xue come to my Northern Lion Country, I don't know when the prince of your country plans to return to China?" ”

Xue Yan chuckled, "Is General Chen giving an order to evict guests?" ”

Chen Tianyu said with a smile: "General Xue misunderstood, it was not an eviction order, he was just concerned. ”

Xue Yan raised his eyebrows, "General Chen cares so much about our whereabouts, doesn't he have any bad intentions?" ”

Chen Tianyu calmly explained: "General Xue is worried again, the Eastern Wilderness Country is a small country attached to the Northern Lion Country, as long as the Eastern Wilderness Country doesn't have a mind, how can I have other thoughts?" After all, when the two armies are fighting, it is the people and soldiers who are injured, so even if I have the courage, I will not dare to provoke a war between the two countries for no reason and make innocent people suffer. ”

Xue Yan changed the topic and said, "General Chen, I heard that the Northern Lion Kingdom is respected by women?" At first, I didn't believe it, but since I came to the Northern Lion Country, I realized that the legal system in this country is really ridiculous. Since ancient times, there have been women heroes, but a country is all respected by women, isn't that a mess? After all, women are naturally weak! ”

After hearing this, Chen Tianyu not only did not get angry, but explained calmly: "In troubled times, the strong should be respected, the founding ancestors of our country are all women, and the rivers and mountains that have been defeated must be respected by women." For more than 100 years since the founding of the Northern Lion Kingdom, in the past 100 years, there have been countless women who have served as generals in the court, but they are all on horseback, fighting the world on the battlefield, and their courage and determination are not worse than you men, or even stronger than you. Nowadays, although the Northern Lion Kingdom is not as good as the Yongchang Dynasty, the daughters of the Northern Lion Country are all the top ones, and any daughter Lang has the ability to write and write to calm the world, and the martial arts can be used to determine the world. Also, General Xue said that my Northern Lion Country is ridiculous, but what about the Eastern Wilderness Country, has the Eastern Wilderness Country achieved equality between men and women, and all living beings are equal? ”

After being scolded by Chen Tianyu for a while, Xue Yan only felt that he had nothing to say.

Chen Tianyu is right, in the troubled times, it is indeed respected by the strong, and there is no reason at all. In the world of hard fighting, only the strong will hold the power of life and death, and execute life and death, only in that moment. However, the strong are young and old, as long as they are strong enough, they can decide their own destiny. This is the case in the Northern Lion Country, and so is the Eastern Wilderness Country!

Xue Yan clasped his fists and saluted, "General Chen, I am shallow when I take back Fang Cai's words. The strong do not distinguish between men and women, regardless of origin, as long as they are strong enough, it doesn't matter whether the man or the woman dominates the country. ”

"It doesn't matter! General Xue, we people of the Northern Lion Country are not so stingy, and we will not be angry because of your few words. Chen Tianyu raised his hand and picked up the teacup on the side, put it to his mouth and blew it, took a sip, and then said, "General Xue didn't take a good turn when he came to my Northern Lion Country, right?" Why don't I take you around the Northern Lion Country? ”

Xue Yan smiled: "Okay! Then there is labor! ”

Chen Tianyu smiled: "You're welcome, please!" ”

As the two spoke, they left the Chen Mansion.

The streets of the Northern Lion Country are very prosperous, and there are many food and fun places on the streets. The country of the Eastern Wilderness Country is in the desert, it is sparsely populated, and clothing and food are scarce, so there are many things on the streets of the Northern Lion Country that Xue Yan has never seen in the Eastern Wilderness Country. For example, the circus in the Northern Lion Country, the juggling performances on the street, and the flax cakes between the boxes, Yangchun noodles.

Chen Tianyu asked, "General Xue......"

Xue Yan interrupted: "The battlefield court just said that the general, now that I am playing in the people, these titles have been changed." I'll call you Miss Chen, right? You can do as you like! ”

Chen Tianyu laughed heartily twice, "Lang, the daughter of the Northern Lion Kingdom, is not so squeamish, you call me Tianyu, I call you Xue Yan." ”

Xue Yan smiled: "Okay! ”

"Xue Yan, there's a circus ahead, do you want to go and see it?"

Xue Yan nodded, "Yes!" ”

As the two spoke, they went to the front to buy admission tickets and walked in. In the center of this circus, there is a particularly large stage, and there are tables and chairs under the stage, and places to be people.

After the two of them found a random place to sit down, the servants of the circus brought tea and food, put them on the table, and then withdrew.

The two sat under the stage, watched quietly, and for a long time, they saw a group of dancing girls walking up, this group of dancing girls were dressed in red and had gorgeous makeup. They stepped forward and began to dance, only to see that their dancing postures were full of grace and intensity. It's like the wind returning to the snow, like a flying swallow swimming in a dragon.

After the song, the audience applauded continuously. After the dance, the dancing queen retreated. Immediately afterwards, six more big men came up and carried up a huge cage, which was shrouded in black cloth, and I don't know what was being held. Five red-hot hoops slowly fell from the stage, and the larger ones could be drilled over by an adult at will. The iron ring was suspended by the iron chain above and slowly fell in the air, until it fell into the air, and then stopped.

The big man opened the black on the cage, and there was actually a tiger in the cage. The tiger obediently lay in the cage, looking at the obedient and soft temper, as if it had been trained, and all the tiger's natural ferocity was exhausted, and in the end only helplessness and fragility remained.

After the cage was opened, the tiger stood up, and when it got out of the cage, a ring of fire on the table was lowered to the tiger's place, but it was still hanging in the air. A woman walked up to the stage with a short leather whip, and whipped it on the tiger, and the tiger screamed in pain, and actually jumped over, with a vigorous posture, perfectly across the circle of fire.

After the tiger landed, the audience applauded continuously, and many people began to applaud.

Chen Tianyu grew up in the Northern Lion Country, and she has long been tired of watching these circus performances. She ate pastries and drank tea absentmindedly, but her eyes just didn't look at the circus performance anymore.

Xue Yan seemed to see her thoughts, and said: "Tianyu, in fact, this performance is nothing to look at, let's go outside for a walk!" ”

"I'll play with you today, so naturally you're up to you." Chen Tianyu said, then stood up, "Let's go!" ”

With that, the two left.

Out of the circus, the two were chatting while walking on the street, Xue Yan was also a straightforward and fast-talking character, and he didn't think about anything, so he said directly: "Tianyu, I heard that you don't like men, why is this?" ”

"Who have you heard of?" Chen Tianyu asked casually

"I just asked casually."

Chen Tianyu smiled lightly and explained: "It's not that I don't like men, it's just that I haven't found the person I like yet." ”

After Xue Yan heard this, he didn't know why he was extremely happy, but he still asked without changing his face: "Then, what kind of man do you like?" ”

"My mother asked me this question too. What I told her was that love was left to men to think about, and as for me, I had no concept of men and love. Therefore, in the future, when you marry a wife and have children, you can just listen to the orders of your parents, although you don't love each other, but you will respect each other like guests, and it's good if you don't lose each other. ”

Xue Yan said unhappily: "Are you so sloppy with love?" ”

"Naturally! Love will only become my weakness, and only ruthlessness and lovelessness can lead to invincible positions no matter what the occasion. Chen Tianyu's face was as calm as water, and the clouds were light and the wind was light.

This made Xue Yan completely angry, and the two walked to the mouth of an alley, and Xue Yan saluted, "General Chen, I suddenly remembered that I have something important to do, so I will go first." ”

Xue Yan said, then turned around and left directly, Xue Yan's sudden anger made Chen Tianyu feel that Xue Yan was a little inexplicable. But just when Chen Tianyu turned around and was about to leave, she suddenly thought that Xue Yan's horse seemed to be still in her mansion, she turned around, but found that Xue Yan had left without a figure, Chen Tianyu could only turn around helplessly and go back to the mansion alone.

Early that morning, Chun Yu Hanshuang was eating in his dormitory, when he heard a pigeon fly in. Chun Yu Frost picked up the pigeon, and it turned out to be a carrier pigeon. Chun Yu Frost removed the note tied to the pigeon's leg.

glanced at the dormitory and saw that there was no one around, and then opened the note, which was Chun Yuyi's handwriting.

Frost, there are natural disasters in front of Pengcheng County, and there are horse bandits in the back, if the Northern Lion Country sends troops at this time, Pengcheng County can collect it.

- Yi

After reading it, Chun Yu Frost lit a fire and burned the note. She walked over to her desk and immediately waved her pen to write a letter. When a letter was written, he tied it to Fang Cai's pigeon, walked to the window, and released it.

In King Yi's mansion, Mu Yinlin was sitting in the front hall with Mu Yuan, and the two were discussing.

"Teacher, Your Majesty has already killed Mu Zhijun, why didn't you do it for a long time? What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd, Your Majesty? Mu Yinlin asked puzzled

Mu Yuan sighed lightly, "It's nothing more than two results, first, Your Majesty is acting with us, and she actually didn't think about killing Mu Zhijun." Second, Her Majesty is too smart, she still wants to use Mu Zhijun to do things for her, and after Mu Zhijun finishes what she needs, she will annihilate Mu Zhijun in one fell swoop. ”

"If it's the second type, what does Your Majesty want Mu Zhijun to do for her?"

"Now that the three kingdoms have not been reunified, who is not the king? Who is not greedy? I have to admit that Mu Zhijun is indeed a rare genius, she is strong in martial arts and tactful, but it is often such a powerful person who is easier to pose a threat to others. If Your Majesty chooses the former and doesn't kill him, then we have to do it ourselves, and if we choose the latter, we have to guard against it. ”

Mu Yinlin nodded, "Teacher, do you think the prime minister and the Chang family are credible?" ”

"You can trade, but you can't trust it, after all, they want to overthrow the Mu family, and Your Highness is also surnamed Mu."

"I see, Teacher!"

Mu Yuan picked up the teacup next to him and took a sip, "Your Highness, you can't be too anxious about everything, and if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, so let's take a step at a time." ”

"yes, I see!"

As they spoke, they chatted about other things.
