My father raised his hand to stop me from talking.

"I know everything, just remember what I said, you said it was your own fault, and you are so sure that Firin's is right?" The father's eyes blinked: "A manly man, how can you let your wife suppress it?"

I smiled wryly.

"I'll tell you a story, and we'll talk about the three sisters in the family. My father looked at me, "All three sisters are married to the same man. The eldest sister is a smart and calm person, but she is more strict, thinking that doing housework well is to do her husband's love, and always wants to change her husband according to her own ideas, and also asks her husband to accommodate herself, because this causes disharmony in the relationship between husband and wife. But what about the second sister? She has always listened to the advice of the eldest sister, blindly obeyed her husband in this matter, and will not mediate in the middle, which further deepens the disharmony. As for the little sister, her personality is too gentle, and she feels that she is not weighty enough, thinking that if she disagrees, it will bring more trouble to the relationship between the four of them...... It's not much worse than where you are now. ”

I nodded in a sudden realization: "I see...... so"

The key to this is the eldest sister, who thought that she could change her husband by her love and make him a person that everyone was satisfied with, but she didn't realize that her husband was no longer a child. The father smiled: "Now if you want to make a breakthrough, you have to start with yourself...... Let Filine understand that she is doing bad things with good intentions. Frankly, it's a complicated process. ”

"Yes. ”

"That's it, things on your side are getting more up, and I'm going back to the city. ”

"I know. I nodded and agreed, "You have to be careful too." ”

"My body is fine. Dad said a little sadly: "Only now do I know what a luxury it is to have friends with you, and there are some things." If you lose it, you can't get it back......"

Dad patted me on the shoulder again. Didn't say anything more. Walk towards your own guards.

I watched my father get on his horse steadily, waved goodbye to him, but I was carefully speculating in my heart about what my father had just said. Yes, there are things that you lose and you can't get back.

I gestured to the herald behind me.

"You go and tell the Chief of Staff that he should pick up the most important things to do, and set aside time for me tonight. I said, "Go and prepare my horse again." ”

"Yes sir!"

The herald ran away, and I was lost in thought. Father is thinking about Fichette, but who thinks about his father? Isn't the death of the emperor also a wound in my father's heart that will not heal?

I made up my mind and decided to send a letter to my mother first.

When I returned to the Governor's Palace after a long absence, it was already twilight.

Walking past the vestibule, past the atrium, into the garden, into the ladies' rooms, I didn't stop a single step. A few maids standing in front of the room saw me. I just wanted to open my mouth to report, but I was stopped by my gesture.

Watch my husband, who never enters Madame's room, approach. The maids looked at each other in amazement, and I waved them away.

"Who's out there?" asked Winsley as the maids were aware of their departing steps.

I knocked on the door with a smile on my face and replied unhurriedly, "It's me." ”

"Is it Cohen?" Kelly's voice was surprised, and the sound of hurried footsteps came from far and near, but suddenly stopped by the door. There was silence in the room, and with my growing senses, I still didn't know what was going on inside.

"Why, don't you want to open the door for me?" I said aloud, "this door is worth a lot of money." ”

There was a noise in the door, and when it finally opened, Kelly stood by the door, with surprise in her eyes.

"This is for you, and I think you'll love it. I handed Kelly a bouquet of flowers from the road, and one foot was already in the door.

"Ah......" Kelly, who had never received a gift from me, was stunned, but when she came back to her senses, she saw that I had already stood in the door, and couldn't help but glance at my sister sitting inside, and exclaimed urgently: "Hey, why did you come in? Get out!"

I smiled and took Kelly's other hand and pulled her to the table to sit down, Kelly's face flushed with shame.

Winsley's eyes were confused, but Filine looked at me with interest.

After sitting down, I generously poured myself a glass of water and drank it dry.

"What's going on today?" said Firin, putting down the pen in her hand and whispering, "Our husband will break his promise and enter our room without permission. ”

"I'm coming to see you. My eyes glanced at the official document on the table, and finally fell on Firin's face, and met her bright eyes: "Is it strange?"

"You won't forget what you said, will you?" said Philin with a smirk, "Do you have a gift that satisfies us?"

"I didn't bring a gift. I scratched my head and made my signature gesture: "Forget about jì!"

"Don't make a fuss. Philene said angrily and funny, "Get out of here!"

"Don't go out. I shook my head.

Feline was stunned, but Winsley laughed on the side.

"As a dignified governor, a noble knight of the gods......" Filine lowered her face and began to lecture me, "Husband, how can you do such a thing?"

"Hehe, I know what you're going to say next. I was a scoundrel with one hand on my jaw and looked at Firin's face with unscrupulous eyes: "I know everything." ”

"Do you know that you don't want to leave?" Kelly beside her saw that her sister was struggling to support herself, put the flowers in her hand on the table, and said angrily: "If you don't abide by what you said, do you want to play tricks again?"

"What don't you observe? If you really want a gift...... Now sitting in front of you is not a friend, but a qualified husband, and this is the best gift for you. I shrugged my shoulders casually and said, "When I said this promise, you and I had a lot of plans, and I wasn't sure what this gift was...... But no matter how many plans there are, they don't change quickly, and if I keep my promise, I'm afraid I'll be old......"

"Oh?" asked Winsley worriedly, "Has the shape of the outside changed again?"

"Not yet, don't worry. I looked at the crimson Wen Sili gently: "I just miss you, I want to come and see." As your husband. It's my right. It's also my obligation, and it's not too much at all. ”

Wen Sili bowed her head shyly, picked up a copy of the official document and looked at it.

"How do you ask me to say hello?" Fei Lin realized my insistence, and said helplessly: "My husband, it's not that I want to insist, but we didn't force you to say this that day." In addition, there seem to be some unresolved issues between us. ”

"It's a small problem, you can save it for later!" I smiled easily: "It's not a big deal......

"Cohen. What's wrong with you?" Winsley looked up and asked with some concern, "Why are you a little different today than you were in the past?"

"Cohen is still Cohen. I replied blandly, "It's just that I figured something out." ”

Hearing me say this, Firin's expression loosened a little.

"What have you figured out?" asked Kelly, puzzled, her eyes bright.

"There are some things that you can't get back if you miss them. I tapped my fingers lightly on the tabletop and looked at the ceiling: "How many days are there in a person......'s life? If I miss you, I'll come and see you, what is there to explain? As for the problems between us, I don't have time to think about them now. Just put it aside. If you can take care of it first, take care of it first. Young Master Ben is not a cure-all. ”

"Yes, it looks like I'm not going out today...... You're done. Philene pursed her lips and smiled, "But you have to sit obediently, and only sitting." ”

"Don't worry, your husband and I are not so hungry that we need to rape my own wife. I smiled, "That's not my style." ”

Hearing me say this, Winsley walked up to me without a word and squeezed my arm hard.

"Obediently sit down. Winsley's angry expression was a little exaggerated: "Watch us review the official documents." ”

"Okay!" I nodded in agreement, picked up the red wine that Kelly had poured for me, and watched the three of them move, seriously enjoying the warmth that I had never experienced before.

The bright and soft magic light covered the huge room, and every scene was so clear, three red faces, a faint fragrance all over the room, and occasionally a whisper or two as crisp as the sound of a jewel and jade...... I was so satisfied with all of this that I was intoxicated.

I don't know how long it took for this feeling to be interrupted by Filin's words.

"Have you seen enough? Philin glanced at me with a coquettish look, as if to suggest, and there was a rare sweetness in her tone, and as she gently waved her hand and beat her forearm, this silky softness gradually entered my heart: "We are going to rest, how is the behavior of the Governor?"

Hearing this, Winsley, who was packing up her official documents, hurriedly turned her head to look away, the outline of the side of her face soft and clear under the magic light. I looked at Kelly again, and saw that her innocent and bright eyes were looking at us in bewilderment.

I'm thinking about how to speak, the dignified governor of a province, the prestige is famous, and when I encounter this rare opportunity, I naturally can't show weakness.

"Haha, of course I'm staying here. I tentatively said in a joking tone: "Tonight, Young Master Ben will not go to that damn study again. ”

As I spoke, Filine didn't look at me...... Well, it should be said that she is unclear.

"I ......" I wanted to keep raising, but I shut up as soon as I said one word, and a wave of regret welled up in my heart.

Because, a rush of footsteps was rushing towards me, and the footsteps were all too familiar to me, rocks. The footsteps of the rocks grew louder and louder, and everyone in the room heard them.

The flush on Firin's face faded, and the melancholy in her eyes flashed. On the other hand, Winsley was silent, and put away the last official document on the table. It was only Kelly, and she was still looking at the three of us with confused eyes.

"Report sir. Rock's strong voice sounded in the garden outside the door: "Captain Rock has something to report." ”

I reluctantly gave the three ladies an apologetic smile, and then replied, "Go to the door." ”

"Yes......" Rock stood closer: "There is an urgent military situation, Commander Karros asks you to return to the camp immediately." ”

"Got it. I nodded: "You go and prepare the horses for me, and I will come." ”

Until the footsteps of the rock disappeared outside the courtyard, the three ladies did not speak.

"It's so frustrating! I had made up my mind to stay in this room tonight. I shook my head. Stood up: "You guys have a good rest. ”

Just turned around to walk out. Feline suddenly held out her hand. Grab me across the table.

"Cohen......" I turned my head to see Philine biting her lip and whispering, "You have to be careful." ”

"That's all?" I asked, disappointed.

Philin shook her head, and stopped talking.

My hand immediately reached out, overturned the table between me and Firin, and leaned in and hugged Filine tightly with my other hand.

The hand that overturned the table was not idle, and directly hugged Wen Sili, who was walking to the side, and my movements were so sudden. None of them had a chance to protest.

Kelly also walked over, and three white faces were in front of me, with reluctance and resentment, but they were all so cute.

"Cohen. Philin lowered her eyes and whispered, "We ......"

"I understand, and I want to stay a little longer. Feeling the delicate body in my arms, I reluctantly said, "Don't worry, I'll be very careful with myself, because you are waiting for me." ”

"Promise me. Winsley stroked my face, "Be sure to come back safely." ”

"Of course. ”

The neighing of war horses could be heard in the distance, and the time was almost up.

"It's time for me to go. I slowly withdrew my hands.

But the three ladies all pulled at my clothes and didn't let go.

"Let me go!" I said, holding Winsley and Kelly's small hands, "This is my duty." It's for you, and it's for all my friends. I have to go. ”

The two of them looked at Filine, but Filine looked at me faintly, and under the cover of her long, curly eyelashes, I couldn't really see the emotion in her eyes.

"Be careful on the road. Fei Lin suddenly stepped forward and kissed my lips, which was cool and had a faint sweetness: "Husband, we will wait for you to come back." ”

I smiled, suppressed the emotions that were tumbling in my heart, let them go and walked out of the room.

※※※The group hurried back to the camp, and when they entered the camp gate, the entire camp was brightly lit. Groups of heralds were flying, Inhuman scouts were taking to the air, and many of the senior officers who had entered the city were standing outside my tent.

I strode into the tent, unarmed my sword, and walked over to Carlos's side.

"What's the situation?"

"Enemy, scouts found no less than two hundred thousand enemy troops. Karos pointed to the map and said, "They are divided into two routes, one with 120,000 and the other with 80,000, and they are approaching the province of Darkmoon, and this is their route of march. ”

"Fuck! that stray movement is pretty fast!" I looked at the two thick red lines on the map, touched my jaw, and said, "Are they in trouble on the way?"

"It seems that Lu Man spent a lot of money on this march, and the governors on the road were not embarrassed, and two governors sold him supplies. Carlos pointed his finger on the map, "If nothing else, they will be able to set up troops on the Dark Moon Border in fifteen to twenty days." ”

"The attitude of these bastard governors is really **!" I scolded in a low voice: "It is impossible for Lu Man to have so many troops, do you know their army formation?"

"I know that the 120,000 people along the way should be the main force, and the information sent back says that they are well equipped. Carlos analyzed the enemy's situation: "And the 80,000 troops along the way are all composed of the remnants of the remnants of the other empires left in Spia, and the combat effectiveness is not high, so it should only be a strategy." ”

"Carlos, what do you think of this fight?"

"Sir, we can't let them touch the edge of the Dark Moon anymore, it's our supply base, and without the Dark Moon, this battle can't be fought. Carlos looked at me, his eyes so calm that he no longer looked like a man in his thirties: "We have enough troops to attack him all the way, and I think it should be okay to force him to retreat." ”

I didn't speak.

"Sir, we don't have to eliminate them, we can just defuse the crisis in front of us. Carlos continued: "Neither of these enemy forces is too strong, and if we strike decisively, they will definitely retreat. ”

I paced around the tent, thinking about Carlos's intentions and speculating on Luman's intentions. It would be very dangerous to rush into the army without coming to a correct conclusion.

"Carlos, have you thought about it, our combat effectiveness Lu Man is not unclear. I looked at my chief of staff and asked in a low voice: "200,000 troops is not a lot, even if Lu Man is from a civilian background, he should know that the odds are not good...... So why would he do it?"

Carlos shook his head: "Actually, I don't think Lu Man has a desperate mentality right now, they still have the advantage right now. ”

"Yes!" I nodded, "Lu Man is not an idiot, he must have a future." ”

"Sir, you mean someone is helping him, is it the cardinal priest of the temple who intervened?"

"It's a matter of time, and I'm prepared for it. I looked at the map and said, "Most likely, Luman wants to use this offensive to attract our attention, so that we can abandon other attacks and engage or confront these armies." In this way, he bought himself time to wait for the arrival of backups. And this ragtag army of 80,000 people is simply a decoy. ”

Listening to my words, Carlos looked at the map again.

"We, or Grandpa Martin of the Dark Moon, if we choose to attack, we will choose to attack this small number of troops, although these 80,000 troops are not much, but it will take us a while to eat. I put my finger on the red line representing 80,000 men: "These troops are not Luman's, he will not have heartache." During this time, we wasted precious supplies, and when Luman got backup to attack the next time, we were in a dangerous position. ”

"And how do we deal with it?" Carlos looked up at me and asked, "Don't lose the Dark Moon!" (To be continued......
