In the small tent, Ye Pei was lying on the couch tossing and turning and couldn't sleep. She didn't know what choice she had, she felt that she was really a captive, she could only obey people's orders, and how could she struggle, how could she resist?

She lifted the curtain and secretly looked at Xiao Shinan outside, who was sitting in front of the desk and reviewing the official documents with a serious and righteous face. Although he is not a handsome and handsome man, he has a heroic and noble spirit.

Ye Pei stared at Xiao Shinan and thought wildly, she was infatuated for a while, and afraid for a while, was she willing to marry the man in front of her? Can she really understand the man in front of her? Is this love or conspiracy? She also felt that Xiao Shinan was unfathomable, much deeper than she imagined.

Ye Pei was cranky, and his heart was in turmoil. In the middle of the night, it rained outside, and thunder and lightning followed. Ye Pei listened to the wind and rain, and he had insomnia, and he fell asleep in a daze when he was about to reach the fourth watch.

Ye Pei had a dream, she stood on a stone city that was independent of the world, and the four fields were silent and endless.

She saw a dark cloud coming over, and the rainstorm was coming, but she had nowhere to hide, and there was no one around her, as if she was the only one left in the whole world, Ye Pei. Her whole body was tightened like a speck of dust, hard and small, she felt the endless cold and darkness, what kind of melancholy and loneliness it was!

What does that mean exactly?

Ye Pei himself couldn't say clearly. It is the desire for life, the fear of death, the intimate feeling of hunger, the pity for the sick, the persistence of asking for nothing, the sentimentality of parting with love, and the knot of having to compromise with the hateful......

"Kara"! A sharp lightning bolt struck Ye Pei's body, she seemed to feel a trembling pain, Ye Pei exclaimed, she seemed to be awake, and passed out of the nightmare.

Soon, however, she was embraced in a strong embrace, which was warm, comfortable, strong and reliable, and Ye Pei hugged it tightly as if she was about to grasp a life-saving straw. She whimpered, tears streaming down her face, as if she wanted to pour out all her grievances.

After crying for a while, Ye Pei's consciousness slowly cleared up, "Is this a dream or reality?" Where is this? Who is he? ”

Ye Pei stroked it with her hand, this was a real embrace, she even felt the knotted muscles, the chest was stronger and stronger than Zhao Zhen's, and wider and heavier than Lou Zijin's. She opened her eyes and glanced up.

"Ahh Ye Pei exclaimed again and immediately let go of his hand.

Xiao ...... Brother Xiao! Ye Pei stammered, unable to hide his embarrassment.

I saw Xiao Shinan sitting in front of the couch, wearing only bed clothes, his chest was half exposed, the pigtails on his head were scattered, and his face was still a little sleepy.

Xiao Shinan asked infinitely gently, "Have you had a nightmare?" ”

Ye Pei blushed even more, his body stiffened, and nodded.

Xiao Shinan gently stroked Ye Pei's cheek with his hand, and said with a smile: "It's raining heavily outside, and it's raining lightly here." ”

Ye Pei instinctively resisted, she turned her head, wiped the tears on her face, and sat in the corner with her knees crossed.

Xiao Shinan asked, "Are you afraid?" ”

"Brother Xiao, why did you kill someone yesterday?" Ye Pei seemed to be aggrieved and angry.

When Xiao Shinan heard this, he knew that Ye Pei's nightmare was yesterday's thing, and said with a slight sneer: "A dignified General Ye will also be afraid of the dead? ”

Ye Pei glared at Xiao Shinan angrily, "Brother Xiao, you know what I'm talking about, are you really for that rumor?" Or ......"

Xiao Shinan restrained his smile, "Well, the girl is very smart, so naturally I'm not just for that rumor." Do you know that the people I killed yesterday, such as Dege, Dimo and others, are all cronies of the Empress Dowager Fatian? ”

Ye Pei condensed and suddenly realized that the military and political affairs of the Liao State were also so cruel. Politics is really bloodshed everywhere, the dirtiest thing!

It turned out that after Xiao Shinan woke up yesterday, he looked at Ye Pei, who was sleeping beside him, and knew that this matter would inevitably be publicized, so he simply pushed the boat down the river to exterminate the different parties. He pinched Ye Pei's cheek, feeling that she was indeed his lucky star, so he smiled warmly.

Xiao Shinan let his cronie Dari secretly observe the situation, and he deliberately went out hunting as if nothing happened, waiting for the situation to spread. He already knew that Yu Dege, Di Mo and the others were people sent by the Empress Dowager Fatian to spy on him, and there was no reason to catch them all.

Zhu Dege, Di Mo and others saw that the county lord of Song was captured, and Xiao Shinan was close to him. I was afraid that Xiao Shinan would marry the Song State and expand his power and pose a threat to the Empress Dowager Fatian, so he tried his best to sabotage the possibility of peace talks. He even self-righteously believed that if the Song State did not agree to the peace talks, it would be better to go north in one fell swoop to annihilate Xiao Shinan's forces in Nanjing. Second, they wanted to spread Xiao Shinan's promiscuous image and undermine his prestige in the army.

Xiao Shinan guessed their calculations, and scolded in his heart: You can't see the interests of the country, you can't put the country first, you are just narrowly self-righteous, you want to fight for more interests for your own interest group, and ignore the safety of the country, aren't you afraid that the Song State Governor will drive straight into the Liao State? You are really the sinners of the ages of Daliao!

Xiao Shinan has been tolerant of the Empress Dowager Fatian's monitoring of him for a long time, and he is extremely angry, so he will naturally not be soft on this opportunity and will not let them have a chance to turn over. Therefore, he arranged for Dali and other cronies to capture the leaders such as Hudge and Dimo in one fell swoop, and the private soldiers under him were naturally frightened and surrendered, and Xiao Shinan eliminated the foreign party and had more prestige in the army.

For Ye Pei, Xiao Shinan had never touched the mind of men and women.

The first time they met, Ye Pei was just an immature little girl, and Xiao Shinan felt just childlike.

The second time they met, Ye Pei was a bold and frank girl, Xiao Shinan felt that this person was credible and could be trusted and regarded as a confidant.

The third time they met, Ye Pei's song "Dance of Neon Clothes and Feathers" was as beautiful as a fairy, and the beautiful impression was deeply imprinted in Xiao Shinan's heart. But at that time, Ye Pei was the beloved of the emperor of the Song Dynasty, so he naturally did not dare to trespass.

And at this moment, Ye Pei became a helpless little woman, like a doe running around on the grassland, breaking into Xiao Shinan's heart.

Xiao Shinan said a word, Ye Pei already understood all his hardships. She sat in the corner with her knees folded, looking so pitiful and helpless.

"You are so reminiscent of my daughter." Xiao Shinan said it very frankly, so that Ye Pei no longer resisted and looked less embarrassed.

Xiao Shinan continued: "Her name is Yiyi, and she always had nightmares when she was a child, so I let her sleep next to me, and if she screamed in the middle of the night, I would get up to comfort her, coax her, pat her, and watch her fall asleep. Once, she was so tired from riding a horse during the day that she dreamed at night that she was taming a horse, and kicked me off the bed with her hands and feet! ”

Ye Pei listened to Xiao Shinan's narration and smiled, "You can be a big man."

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Little girl kick out of bed? ”

Xiao Shinan saw Ye Pei laughing, and also laughed: "Isn't it, you see how strong she is!" ”

"Brother Xiao, you must love her mother very much, right?" Ye Pei showed infinite envy when she said this, I don't know if she was envious of Yiyi or her mother.

When Xiao Shinan heard someone mention his late princess, he was a little distracted, and it took a long time before he said, "Yes! Her name is Jiaonu, and she is a member of the Yutian Han clan, and you have seen Xuanhui envoy Han Zhongsi before is her brother. Xiao and Han are world friends, and I have known her since childhood, and I can be regarded as childhood sweethearts.

I used to think I would never fall in love with anyone else but her! We made a promise to respect each other and grow old together. We never quarreled after she married me, and then she gave birth to a pair of children for me, which made me feel very happy.

We loved each other so much that I thought she would be with me until I was old. It's a pity that the sky doesn't follow people's wishes, and she is willing to leave me and the children to go alone first......"

When Ye Pei heard this, he also said with infinite emotion: "How many things in the world can be as people wish?" I'm not the same now, I can't go back to home, or I seem to be homeless! ”

Xiao Shinan said: "I have heard what happened to you in the Song Dynasty, do you still love Zhao Zhen?" You're going to wait for him all the time? ”

Ye Pei shook his head, sighed helplessly, and said, "What if you love him, what if you don't love him?" I escaped from the palace like a deserted man. Now I can only look at him from afar. I finally understood what the Buddha called love and separation, and I couldn't ask for anything! ”

"You are still young, and you will meet someone who will treat you sincerely in the future."

"So what?"

"The palace is not for you, you are the most talented and broad-minded woman I have ever met." Speaking of this, Xiao Shinan's eyes revealed a deep affection that he had never felt before, "You are like Hai Dongqing soaring on our grassland, you can't live in a cage, why do you want to compete with those mortal birds for food?" ”

These words did not make Ye Pei feel proud, but made her even more sad. She is like a bird with folded wings, can she really fly into the sky again? Ye Pei buried his face between his knees, and his waist-length long hair fluttered down to block his face.

Xiao Shinan gently helped her pick it up, and caressed her forehead lovingly with his hand.

"I know you are a strong woman, but no matter how strong and independent a woman is, there are times when she is vulnerable. You need a strong backing, you need a warm embrace! ”

Oh, yes! When Ye Pei felt vulnerable, she really wanted to find a shoulder to rely on, and at this moment, Ye Pei wanted to throw herself into Xiao Shinan's arms and cry.

After a long time, a horn broke the silence, Xiao Shinan stood up and lifted the leather curtain of the window to look out.

Xiao Shinan looked at it for a while and said, "The rain has stopped, the sky has already dawned, and now the weather is just right, why don't we go out and move our bodies?" ”

Ye Pei also stood up, moved his waist, hid his infinite weakness, and said, "Okay, that's what I mean!" ”

Xiao Shinan walked back to his handsome tent and announced that the attendants came in to freshen up and change clothes. The female soldiers also changed into a light riding uniform for Ye Pei.

The attendant led the two of them to their mounts, and Xiao Shinan and Ye Pei both turned over and got on their horses. A group of escorts followed him from a distance, and their group galloped away on the grassland outside the camp.
