Outside the tent was quiet, and the sentries and patrolling soldiers everywhere did not disturb the order because the commander returned to the camp late at night.

But Meng Lie still felt that the noise in his ears was incomparable, the sound of the wind, the torches, the grass and trees in the distance, the ground under his feet, and even the surging night seemed to have form and life, they were intermingled, with a surging sound, and rushed into his senses without saying anything.

Meng Lie relied on the memory of the day, discerned the direction, and walked quickly towards the camp gate.

When he was about to reach the camp gate, two guards blocked his way with spears in their hands: "Your Excellency left the camp late at night, do you have a military order?"

Meng Lie subconsciously reached out and grabbed the barrel of a spear, he looked ahead, only to see the sentry guards outside the camp saluting one after another, and the group of people returning from night gradually slowed down.

"Boss!"

"Welcome back to camp!"

The firelight shook on both sides of the camp gate, and the girl led by her, dressed in a green robe, drove her horse to it.

Meng Lie clutched the barrel of his gun for a moment, and looked fixedly at the approaching man and horseman.

Chang Suining took a fixed look by the firelight, and there was some surprise and uncertainty in his eyes.

Immediately, she changed to one hand grasping the reins, and the other hand was raised to signal.

The two soldiers understood, immediately withdrew their spears, avoided the sides, and saluted Chang Suining.

There were no soldiers to stop him, but Meng Lie did not move, he stood in place, watching the tall and sturdy brown-red horse approaching with its owner.

The noise in Meng Lie's ears disappeared, and the heavens and the earth fell silent, and in their place, endless waves of old memories came at him.

Thanks to the darkness of the night, he couldn't see the face of the girl on horseback in front of him, her facial features were blurred by the night, but the momentum around her body became more and more unhidden.

The momentum with a strong personal soul background made the girl and the old master in Meng Lie's mind gradually overlap.

Meng Lie felt the heaven and earth subverting and rotating in a trance, and he tried his best to stabilize his body, so he looked stiff and solemn.

Seeing that he was in the way, Chang Suining dismounted in front of him.

Behind her, Shelan, He Wuhu and Tang Xing also dismounted.

「…… Sui Ning is back!" At this time, Chang Kuo, who was dressed in a coat, heard the news.

Chang Suining glanced at Meng Lie, who was standing still, and then looked at Chang Kuo with a question in his eyes.

Chang Kuo hurriedly approached, stood between the two, took the voice that the three could hear, and explained, "...... Meng Dong's family just arrived yesterday, and he went to the Assassin's Mansion first, and then came to the camp!"

As he spoke, he looked at Her Royal Highness with a "I didn't say anything" look.

"I didn't expect the Meng Dong family to come here in person." Chang Sui Ning said, "Then please go in and speak."

Meng Lie tightly restrained the churning in his heart and nodded slightly.

Chang Sui Ning handed over the reins of the return date to Ah Zhi.

Chang Kuo followed Chang Suining's side, and said as he walked, "I originally thought that it would take at least three or five days for you to come back, and you will return so quickly, but there is a gain?"

"I'll talk about it when I go in." Chang Suining answered, and subconsciously turned around, but saw that Meng Lie was still standing in place, as if he had not come back to his senses.

Chang Kuo followed, shouted, and beckoned to Meng Lie, who took a step forward and slowly followed.

Chang Sui Ning asked Tang to wake up and let them go down to rest, and if there was something to discuss tomorrow morning, everyone should go down and salute and retreat.

In the tent, Xi'er had already lit the lamp and was busy making tea.

Chang Kuo just had a dry mouth and took the tea cup handed by Xi'er.

Xi'er was about to hold another lamp for her own girl, but she heard the girl say, "You guys go to the tent for the time being."

Xi'er responded and withdrew with the other two women's soldiers in the tent.

Seeing that Chang Kuo was standing and drinking tea and did not move, Chang Suining said separately, "Daddy will also go back to rest first."

Chang Kuo suddenly let out an "oh" and hurriedly said, "Okay."

glanced at Meng Lie and walked out.

Out of the tent, Chang Kuo found that he was still holding a tea cup in his hand, looked back at the military tent behind him, and did not go in again, so he left here while drinking tea.

In the tent, Chang Suining took off the sword at his waist, hung it up casually, walked to the back of the main seat, and said, "Meng Dongjia sit down and talk, don't be restrained."

Meng Lie didn't seem to hear her words, he quietly looked at the saber hanging above the Lan Qi.

It was the dawn of the day.

His Highness's Yao Ri appeared in the hands of "others", he should have felt offended for His Highness, but at this moment, he did not feel such at all, but ......

His Highness once said that every horse and sword has spirituality, but they just can't speak, which does not prevent them from establishing a deep bond with their master.

At this moment, Meng Lie looked at Yao Ri, as if he could feel the sense of belonging around him.

This sense of belonging seems to have some kind of appealing power, and it is also silently transmitted to him, making him touch a long-lost sense of return.

Meng Lie moistened his eyes for some time, he took his eyes away from Yao Ri, and looked at the girl who was already sitting behind several cases, she was sitting cross-legged, with a straight posture and a calm demeanor.

While looking at each other, Meng Lie opened his mouth, and it took a while before he could make a sound.

He doesn't need to be tempted, and His Highness is not Chang Kuo, His Highness is not Ah Dian, and he can't test His Highness......

So at this moment, he only made the voice that was most obedient to his heart, and the voice sounded hoarse and low, and there was no crying, but it seemed to cry silently—

"Your Highness, it's you...... Right?"

Meng Lenna asked in the most simple and straightforward words.

Chang Suining looked at him and was silent for a while.

She wrote to Meng Lie, the original intention was to protect, she thought of many possibilities, Meng Lie would come to Jiangdu in person, and it was also one of those many possibilities.

Because there were too many uncertain unknowns, she didn't think about whether to recognize Meng Lie, but at the moment, she ......

Chang Suining's eyes looked at Meng Lie's tearful eyes, and then at his pale sideburns.

It is not only the blade of the knife that can cut people, but also the tears and gray hair of the deceased.

For a moment, Chang Suining's eyes fell silent a little, and she looked at Meng Lie quietly, as before.

The tears in Meng Lie's eyes turned into surging tears in an instant.

The night wind shuttled and swam outside the tent, and seemed to penetrate his body, taking away the last wisp of dust in his heart that covered the truth.

His stiff form seemed to have been drained of all support by an invisible force, and he seemed to have lost his strength, but he bent down with great determination, and put his hands to the ground, trembling and lowering his upper body, and his body fell prostrate one by one, until his forehead touched the ground.

He couldn't say anything more, but he didn't need to say anything more, only tears flowed silently.

Chang Suining looked at Meng Lie, and his mood was complicated for a while.

She has an experience that ordinary people can't imagine, and when she returns to this world, she was once at a loss, and the betrayal of jade shavings and Yu Zeng's suspicion made her more aware of the unpredictability of people's hearts.

And in addition to precautions, she has always believed that she has been dead for more than ten years, and once her soul returns, she should not selfishly disrupt everyone's existing life.

So at first she didn't intend to recognize anyone.

Confessed to Wuji, it was because of the formation in the Heavenly Maiden Tower and the temptation of the empress.

recognized Chang Kuo because she was determined to return to the battlefield at that time, and in such a familiar environment, she was destined to hide Chang Kuo for too long. And she and Chang Kuo are in danger, and they should move forward together.

As for Meng Lie, she has never had the opportunity to contact him since she returned, and her understanding of Meng Lie is only an endless paraphrase.

She was grateful to learn that Meng Lie had found her secret method, but it was an old move more than ten years ago, and she couldn't blindly claim to be the old master, and self-righteously decided that Meng Lie should wait for her in the same place.

This time, she only showed the half of the token, but did not directly explain everything, just to test Meng Lie's reaction, and then act again.

She needed to get back the private property she had left in the Dengtai Building in the past, and because she was not sure of Meng Lie's attitude, she was originally prepared to use the half token to get back only half of it, and she thought of many countermeasures......

Can be ...... now

Looking at Meng Lie like this, Chang Suining suddenly felt ashamed in his heart.

Her vigilance, her calculations, in the face of such pure loyalty, seemed ...... She doesn't seem to be a thing.

Chang Suining, who felt that he was not a thing, got up from behind a few cases, walked over, bent down slightly, held one of Meng Lie's arms, and helped him up.

Meng Lie's face was full of tears, his forehead was stained with dust, mixed with tears, showing a bit of a mess.

When he raised his head in tears like this, he looked at the bright eyes above his head, and suddenly seemed to return to that night more than twenty years ago.

That night, the moon was clear, the wind was moving, and the insects were singing, and he was given a new lease of life...... And this night, why not?

Chang Sui Ning helped him get up and said softly, "Come, sit down and talk with me."

Meng Lie wiped his tears and showed a trance-like smile: "No, your subordinates can stand...... My subordinates have sat too much over the years, and today I can finally stand and talk......

Over the years, as the owner of the Jingshi Dengtai Building, he has always been treated with courtesy, and there are very few people who can make him stand and talk, and there are no more people who can make him stand and talk willingly.

Chang Sui Ning also showed a smile: "So, you have had a good life over the years?"

"Yes...... Meng Lie's face showed more, more genuine smiles: "Your Highness Lao is worried, your subordinates have been doing well over the years."

Chang Suining's smile did not decrease, his eyes fell on his sideburns, and his voice lowered: "Where is good."

Sensing the old master's gaze, Meng Lie said abruptly, "The subordinates are just old."

"You're only in your early forties, a round younger than Chang Chang, where are you old?" Chang Sui Ning roughly guessed why his gray hair was born, so he was ashamed and said, "It's me who is not good, so I only met you today."

Meng Lie was flattered, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness's words are serious, how can Your Highness be bad—"

Chang Suining pulled the corners of his mouth in self-disgust, and said with a wry smile: "The more you are like this, the more I feel that I am really not a thing."

Meng Lie hurriedly took a step back, bent over and bowed: "The lord humiliates himself, and the ministers deserve death!" Please don't defile yourself, Your Highness!"

Chang Suining looked at him, he was still the same.

Meng Dongjia, who ran the intelligence building for her outside, was always so stubborn that he didn't want to be flexible when he came to her.

Meng Lie lowered his figure, and said, "It is a great blessing that His Highness can come back safely, His Highness has not summoned his subordinates before, so he must have thought about it."

"Even if Your Highness was suspicious that your subordinates had different intentions before, it is also natural, and Your Highness is still vigilant, which is very good."

Speaking of this, there was a trace of uncontrollable choking in Meng Lie's voice, and it was more gratifying: "If Your Highness can be more vigilant, your subordinates can be more at ease......

Having had that experience, he knew better than anyone the importance of being on guard at all times, vigilance was for self-preservation, and those who were vigilant would not be easily harmed, and he did not want His Highness to be in any dangerous situation again.

Who is His Royal Highness? His Royal Highness is admired by all the people, relying not only on the word benevolence, but also on benevolence without edge and armor, there is no way to let His Royal Highness take the position of the prince, let alone the general of the Xuance Army who shocks the world.

If His Highness is easy to get emotional and do risky things when it is not necessary, then it is not His Highness.

Your Highness should be like this, this is the value of Your Highness that distinguishes it from ordinary people, not a mistake.

He could sense His Highness's guilt at the moment, and he felt honored and frightened, but—

Meng Lie still maintained a bowing posture: "The loyalty of subordinates is where the duty lies, and it is a matter within the scope of the matter that His Highness deserves to be followed loyally by us. But this loyalty is not a soft knife to force His Highness to feel guilty, if so, then his subordinates deserve death."

Chang Suining stepped forward, held his elbow, and sighed helplessly: "In these few words, how many dead words have you mentioned, and I don't like you to be unlucky."

"Yes, subordinates should ......" Meng Lie said to his lips and swallowed back.

Seeing his emaciated appearance and the lines at the corners of his eyes, Chang Sui Ning said, "Okay

I told you to sit down, and you should sit down, and you should do as you are told."

Meng Lie hesitated for a moment, and then responded, and when he was about to sit down under the order, he didn't know what he thought, and suddenly said, "Your Highness, wait a minute, there is something still in the tent under your subordinates, and you will wait for your subordinates to go back and get it!"

Seeing that he seemed to be very nervous about this, Chang Suining's eyes lit up slightly, and he nodded: "Okay, then you go quickly."

"Yes!"

Meng Lie quickly withdrew, and soon returned with an object in his arms.

Meng Lie held it with both hands and handed it to Chang Suining.

Chang Suining took it, heavy, wrapped in black cloth, like a box.

"What is this?" Chang Suining "asked knowingly".

Meng Lie lowered his voice, "These are your bones."

Chang Suining: "?"

Isn't it a silver ticket or a key to open the vault or something?

And this thing......

Holding her own bones, she is about the first person in the world, right?

Chang Suining, who was happy for a while, subconsciously asked, "...... The piece that was offered in the Celestial Maiden Tower before?"

"Exactly, Your Highness has already entered the Celestial Maiden Tower?"

Chang Suining let out a "hmm" and asked suspiciously, "You stole it?" What are you doing with this?"

"After Wu Jue's death, his subordinates didn't know that His Highness had returned, so they dared to steal His Highness's bones and wanted to go to the Western Regions to seek new secret techniques." Meng Lie explained, "Now that His Highness has returned, it should be returned to His Highness."

Chang Sui Ning didn't throw it, nor did he hold it, so he could only put it aside temporarily.

Speaking of the secret arts, she thanked Meng Lie: "If it weren't for you and Wuji, I wouldn't be able to stand here at this moment."

At this moment, when Wu Zhi was mentioned again, Meng Lie was only left with gratitude and admiration in his heart: "My subordinates didn't do anything, they just went to the Western Regions, and His Highness was able to come back because Wu Zhi risked death to start the battle and sacrifice his life."

Now that he mentioned this, Chang Sui Ning also told him truthfully: "Wujie is still alive now."

Meng Lie: "?!"
