Nie Mingyu stood on the hillside, heard footsteps behind him, and did not look back, but just sighed: "I'm afraid this king is really old." ”

"Uncle Huang thinks that this time he was not able to lead a group of soldiers to defend the city, so he regrets it?" Shi Yu walked to the hillside and looked at Nie Mingyu with a side smile.

Nie Mingyu shook his head, "This king was thinking just now, if I hadn't been poisoned this time, could I do better than the emperor." ”

Shi Yu comforted: "Uncle Huang doesn't have to be like this, this time it's ......"

"It turned out to be yes."

Shi Yu: "......" Well, it's because she's thinking too much.

Nie Mingyu retracted his gaze and looked at Shi Yu, "The result is yes, but if it is this king, Hecheng may not be able to hold it." ”

He has experienced too many wars, and he is indeed far superior to the emperor in terms of troop deployment and even the strategy of resisting the enemy. But because of this, I don't know when he started, he seems to have lost that rushing blood.

In the past two days, he has seriously thought about it, and when he sees that there is no hope of defending the city, instead of desperately defending Hecheng, he may choose to preserve his strength, evacuate, and then seek an opportunity to regain the lost ground.

If it was ten years ago, he might not have made the same choice as the emperor, regardless of life and death, and resolutely refused to retreat.

It can be seen that they are accustomed to life and death on the battlefield, and it is common for soldiers to hear too much about victory and defeat, and the enthusiasm of the past has finally been replaced by weighing the pros and cons and weighing rationally.

This is not necessarily a bad thing, but it also makes him feel that he is really old.

With a long sigh, Nie Mingyu looked at Shi Yu in front of him, smiled again, stretched out his hand and patted her shoulder with relief.

"Fortunately, there will never be a shortage of enthusiastic young people in this world."

Full of blood? Shi Yu was stunned for a moment, is she?

"Uncle Huang, I'm probably going to disappoint you, I am very sorry for my life, if I wasn't gambling on reinforcements, I'm afraid I would have taken the lead a long time ago."

After all, her life is too important to her.

Nie Mingyu withdrew his hand, and the emotion and dark clouds on his face dissipated.

"The emperor's understanding of himself is probably not enough."

"I only feel that the love for my own life is indeed not enough. In the future, I will definitely spare my life even more and never take risks. Shi Yu raised his eyebrows, looking like he didn't eat oil and salt, and only saved his life.

"Hahaha......" Nie Mingyu laughed, "It's good to spare your life, the emperor should also spare your life." But in this life, there will always be moments when you are willing to leave your life behind. ”

Whether it's for people or things, in this world, there will always be something higher than life.

The emperor must understand this truth, but at this moment, he doesn't want to believe it.

Nie Mingyu retracted his gaze, did not speak again, and looked at the continuous tent in front of him again.

The tents stretched out and were spectacular.

At this moment, the soldiers are in it, their vision is blocked, they may not be able to see the vast world in the distance, but they must be able to see the people and the country behind them.

The wind was getting cooler, and it was a little colder on the hillside.

Shi Yu turned to leave, and within a few steps, he saw Jing Heng standing in the distance, on the edge of a camp tent, with a cloak in his hand.

"When did the Overseer come over?" Shi Yu stepped forward.

Jing Heng tied the cloak for Shi Yu, "For a while, when I saw you and Uncle Huang talking, I didn't go over to bother." ”

Shi Yu nodded, "Overseer, there shouldn't be any big moves on the Beiyuan side for the time being, we should be able to go back to the Imperial City." ”

Although this time, he came to the border for Yangyue at the beginning, but now in this situation, he knows with his toes that Xiao Chengfeng will never keep his promise and really return Yangyue. In addition, there is no point in temporarily calming down during the war, and continuing to stay at this pass.

"How about leaving tomorrow?" Jing Heng said.

Shi Yu was stunned for a moment, although she felt that she could go back, but there was no need to be so anxious, and she was about to speak, but she raised her eyes to meet Shang Jingheng's gaze and was stunned again.

"What's wrong?"

Jing Heng looked like he was worried about something.

After confirming that Yu's cloak was tightened, Jing Heng held her hand, and the two of them walked towards the camp together, "It's just that I feel a little uneasy for no reason." ”

Since he arrived here, he has been a little unsteady in his heart, but he can't tell what the reason is.

Shi Yu also clenched Jing Heng's hand, his fingers interlocked, "Overseer, no matter what happens next, we will face it together." ”

With Jing Heng by her side, she felt very relieved.

Jing Heng stopped and looked at Shi Yu seriously, and after a long time, a smile spread on his lips, "Okay." ”

The wind grew stronger, blowing dust and shuttling through the barracks.

Shi Yu and Jing Heng arrived outside the camp tent and were about to go in, when they saw Su Cheng and Chaiyun hurriedly coming over.

"Your Majesty, Lord Shen, Lord Shen is gone!"

Shi Yu was stunned.

"Good and decent, why is it gone?" Jing Heng asked.

Su Cheng hurriedly said the ins and outs.

He and Shen Qingshi followed to the border pass this time, in fact, they just wanted to see the military camp here, and they had no intention of staying for a long time. So when he had lunch, he made an appointment with Shen Qingshi, and in the afternoon, they asked the emperor and the overseer when they planned to return to the imperial city.

But more than an hour ago, when he went to look for him in Shen Qingshi's tent, he didn't see anyone at all, and many things in the tent fell to the ground, looking like they had been fighting.

He immediately looked for Chaiyun and searched the barracks together, but he didn't find Shen Qingshi at all.

"Your Majesty, the Overseer, your subordinates have already asked the soldiers patrolling the barracks, and they haven't seen Lord Shen since lunch." Chasing the clouds and giving it back.

"So you think Shen Qingshi may have been arrested, and he doesn't feel that he has avoided the sight of so many people." Shi Yu frowned.

This is a barracks, heavily patrolled, isn't it too unlikely that this situation will happen?

Chasing Yun frowned and didn't speak for a while.

Jing Heng ordered the entire military camp to open a search, and at the same time, together with Shi Yu, went to Shen Qingshi's camp tent.

Indeed, as Su Cheng said, in the tent, it looked chaotic, and many things fell to the ground, as if there was a fight.

"Could it really be that someone can arrest Shen Qingshi in the barracks." Shi Yu's expression was solemn, "But even if you can do it, why arrest him?" ”

Shen Qingshi had never been to the border pass before, and this time he came with himself and Jing Heng, so he really couldn't think of any reason to arrest him.

Jing Heng's gaze swept over the entire tent, and finally, he stopped on the wooden shelf on the side, his eyes were slightly condensed, and he said, "That's not right." ”
