Even the man himself didn't know how long he had been sitting like this, although he seemed to be in a daze, but he knew very clearly in his heart that it was time to go back, maybe this was fate.

Just as he stood up and was about to go back, a slight sound of footsteps came to his mind, and he frowned and turned his head to see a person slowly walking out from the other side of the tree.

"Lord Geng!"

The man arched his hand at Geng Shulou, and his attitude was respectful.

Geng Shulou narrowed his eyes, "Are you ......?"

"It's under ten thousand sprinkles." Wan Sa arched his hand again, "I've seen Lord Geng." ”

In the past two years, Geng Shulou has been promoted from the eighth-grade captain to the sixth-grade hundred-hundred-household in the Canghan Wei Thousand Households, which is not as easy as he originally thought.

Soon after arriving at Cang Hanwei, he understood that there was no so-called temporary dormancy, and there was no future reuse, if he wanted to be promoted and wanted to return to Ningdu City, he could only rely on himself.

So although he spared his life, he still relied on his quick reaction in several small battles and his fearless momentum to rise to his current position step by step, he thought that in time, he would return to Ningdu City, and he would return to his hometown.

Therefore, at the beginning, the Zhenyao army rushed to Cangcheng in time to help, and solved the dilemma of Cangcheng, and then with the two major battles, the defeat of the Yaomu army was decided.

He even expected that when the good news reached Ningdu City, the emperor was happy and rewarded, and the bright yellow holy moat slowly unfolded above his head, and with the sharp voice of the inner attendant, a personal name and reward would be passed into the ears of a group of kneeling soldiers, and there would be three words "Geng Shulou" in it.

It's just that this longing is like a dream bubble, rising fast and shattering faster.

Zhenyaojun really did what he thought, not only beat the Yaomu army to the ground, but also frightened them to flee in panic, and fled back to Gaofeng City, which is adjacent to Yaomu and Daning.

But at the same time, or a little earlier, Ningdu City, which he had always thought was the most stable in Daning, had changed.

King Shen, who used to regard him as a confidant, became an outcast when he was banished by a holy decree to Cangcheng, a bitter cold land with cold winds and yellow sand.

Maybe he wasn't as important as he thought at the beginning, King Shen used him, but he was valued by the eldest prince and King Li, and he was the brother of King Ping's concubine.

He can't tell whether King Shen has anything to do with him, but King Shen is the opposite!

"Lord Geng?"

Seeing that he just shouted, Geng Shulou fell into his own thoughts, and couldn't help but shout again.

Geng Shulou came back to his senses, glanced at Wan Sa, and looked cold, "What are you looking for me?" ”

"It's not me looking for you, it's the third prince looking for you, it's just that you turn around and leave every time you see him, so ...... The third prince asked me to tell you. ”

Wan Sa looked at Geng Shulou and said honestly.

Geng Shulou tugged at the corners of his mouth, "What kind of third son is he, the Dingguo Mansion is over, Wu Qiyao, the third prince of the Dingguo Mansion, has not become a prisoner at the moment, that is to Zhu General is busy with affairs, and he has not been taken care of for the time being, how long do you think he can be free, I advise you to stay away from him, so as not to fight to the death, not to die in the battlefield, but to be implicated and lose his life." ”

His words were both sarcastic and implicit in advice.

Wan Sa smiled bitterly, "Lord Geng, I have a last resort, my sister is still locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department, and when the verdict comes down, the lightest will be an exile, she is weak and can't stand the suffering, since the third prince said that taking refuge in King Ping can save her, no matter what, I will also try." ”

He said, looking at Geng Shulou sincerely, "Actually, I don't understand Lord Geng's thoughts, as far as I know, Lord Geng's sister is the concubine of Prince Ping, and she is already pregnant, now King Li is imprisoned, King Shen is dead, His Royal Highness King Ping is the most likely person to ascend to that position, with the relationship between Lord Geng and His Royal Highness King Ping, he will definitely rise to prominence in the future."

So I don't understand why Lord Geng has always been stubborn, and acting like this will not only anger His Royal Highness King Ping, but also affect the future of Ling Mei and your future nephew. ”

Geng Shulou sneered, "It seems that the concubine room is the concubine room, and you really can't be regarded as the brother-in-law of the third prince of Wu." ”

This is really not good, even if he knew that he came here this time to persuade Geng Shulou, Wan Sa couldn't help but clench his fists.

Geng Shulou saw it, and he glanced at him, "I said that you are not Wu Qiyao's brother-in-law, that's because he doesn't treat you as his own person at all, don't you know that the one who is a concubine in Pingwangfu is not my own sister at all, my sister-in-law is actually the second girl of Zhenguo Mansion, oh, by the way, she seems to have married into Dingguo Mansion not long ago and became the grandson of Dingguo Mansion, that is, your sister's sister-in-law, no, your sister is just the concubine of Wu Sangongzi, she can't call her sister-in-law, she can only call her a young lady." ”

Although Wan Sa was still angry, he was thinking about Geng Shulou's words in his heart.

When he heard that the second girl of Zhenguo Gong was Geng Shulou's own sister, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly thought of something.

"Second Miss Zhu, is it called Zhu Ni?"

Geng Shulou glanced at him, "Probably." ”

The mother wrote that this was his own sister, who looked like their family, and had a similar temperament and personality, and said that she had been in the Zhenguo Mansion for many years, because she did not look like a person in the Zhenguo Mansion, so she was not loved by the Zhenguo Gong couple and the second master of the Zhu family, and was treated coldly.

The words are all about love for this biological daughter, and it is also a subtle implication that he should cherish this own sister, not the fake sister who occupies the magpie's nest.

Although his grandfather's letter also said this, his views were not the same as his mother's, and his grandfather's meaning was also understood, it was nothing more than a camera act, if King Ping was in power, then he would love his sister who had lived in Anping Bofu since he was a child, regardless of blood, and long-term getting along was the most important; But if King Shen is recognized by Emperor Sheng Ning and a group of courtiers, becomes the prince of Daning, and finally ascends to the throne, then he must determine the facts, and his own sister is better than outsiders.

For now, it seems that if it were according to his grandfather's wishes, he should have chosen the first option.

After all, King Shen is dead, and Zhu Ni, who married into King Shen's grandfather's family, is now most likely imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department like other female dependents of the Wu family.

Could it be that he is going to compromise with King Ping?

The person who single-handedly broke his dream when he was about to step into the spring examination room and was about to reap a perfect ending for more than ten years of hard study for himself, such a stupid and short-sighted person, why did he compromise with him or even take refuge.

It was getting darker and colder, and there was not a single star in sight, and in the distance there was a noise in the barracks, and the murmur of a nearby stream.

That's it, so be it.

Geng Shulou turned around to leave.

"Hey!" Wan Sa couldn't help but pull him, he felt that this person was a little strange, he said it well, he didn't offend him, why did he have to leave.

Speaking of this, even if there is no command from the third son, with his temperament, he must finish speaking, otherwise I am afraid that he will not be able to sleep at night.

Geng Shulou stepped back, avoiding Wan Sa's hand, and at the same time, directly launched an offensive towards Wan Sa, Wan Sa was stunned, I didn't expect this person to change his face so quickly, didn't he talk about it just now? Why did you turn your face so quickly and deny people.

"Hey, Master Geng, you can't do it, if someone finds out, we will both be sceptered."

Wan Sa lowered his voice and said hurriedly, at the same time, although he did not make a move, but he quickly and accurately stopped Geng Shulou's moves, Geng Shulou found that under Wan Sa's hands, he had no power to fight back, and his martial arts were far higher than his own.

His face was gloomy, but he stopped struggling and slowly relaxed his body.

He naturally understood that if a brawl was found in the barracks, a military staff would be light.

"What do you want to do?" In the dark, Geng Shulou's voice was hoarse and gloomy.

With Geng Shulou's experience of leaving just now, turning his face and not recognizing people, Wan Sa swallowed some of the foreshadowing words that Wu Qiyao had taught him, and simply said the purpose directly.

"The third prince heard that Master Geng has a capable man under him, who is a marksman, very good at bows and crossbows, and it is said that he can accurately shoot through the hearts of the target and take his life in the midst of thousands of troops, so he ......"

Wan Sa's voice was lowered again, and the whirring cold wind mixed with the sound of dead branches and fallen leaves swept past them, but not a word floated in the wind.

After Wan Sa finished speaking, he looked at Geng Shulou intently, as if he wanted to see the look of panic and fear on his face, but no, Geng Shulou was very calm, as if he had just heard a normal greeting.

"You're talking about Ma Xiaodou?"

"Yes, that's him."

"Not to mention that Ma Xiaodou may not listen to me, after all, this is a matter of losing his head, and he will even be connected to his family and friends, take a step back and say, even if he listens to me, he is not as powerful as you say, if he can shoot the designated person in the midst of thousands of troops, then we have already taken the life of the general of Yaomu, King Qi, where can he escape back to Gaofeng City with the remnants of the defeated army."

Geng Shulou said lightly, scoffing at Wan Sa for listening to rumors and exaggerating Ma Xiaodou's strength. (End of chapter)
