Nancheng, Li Fu.

The appearance of the three princes and Li Yunyi ruined everyone's interest in drinking and feasting, especially when they thought that Jingshui Tower was the property of the Li family, and any high-grade pastime in Beijing could be related to those powerful people, the generals of the border army only felt unappetizing, so they agreed to reunite in the frontier in the future.

When the sun was in the west, Lu Shen sent Li Bingxue to the gate of Li Mansion.

Now the plaque of the Earl's Court has been removed, and it will not be long before it will be replaced with the gatehouse of the Duke of Huai'an.

In the dim sunlight, the young man and woman turned over and dismounted, and several of their own soldiers stopped in the distance.

Li Bingxue said unhurriedly: "King Jian is quite favored by the queen, but His Majesty treats several princes equally and will not favor him too much, so you don't have to worry too much." Now that the prince has not been established, the government and the opposition agree that the eldest prince King Chen and the second prince are both possible, no one is optimistic about King Jian, and he is not doing his job all day long, and he is even farther away from that position if he is a fool like Li Yunyi. ”

Lu Shen's understanding of the pattern of the DPRK and China was naturally inferior to her, and he listened quietly.

Li Bingxue said again: "Maybe he himself understands this, so he has never expressed the idea of competing for the prince, and he can be a confused prince with peace of mind." Because of this kind of desireless and calm attitude, ordinary people can only endure his nonsense and willfulness, and they can't do it because he angers the queen mother of the harem. ”

"Hob meat." Lu Shen said with emotion.

Li Bingxue nodded slightly: "That's probably the case, but he doesn't have the ability to damage your roots, it's nothing more than verbal teasing." ”

Lu Shen said: "I understand, thank you for your advice." ”

Li Bingxue heard the unfinished meaning of his words, looked up at the sky, hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Just now you said that you wanted to toast me, but you were disturbed by those people, do you want to go into the house and sit for a while?" ”

Without waiting for Lu Shen to answer, she hurriedly added: "Regarding the situation on the border in northern Xinjiang, I still have some questions I want to ask you." ”

Lu Shen didn't think much about it, and responded: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

Li Bingxue pursed her lips and smiled.

After about a stick of incense, the two of them came to the flower hall built next to the water pavilion in the mansion, where several delicate side dishes and two pots of wine were already prepared.

Li Bingxue was a little nervous in her heart, and even with her always cold face, she had a little unnatural expression.

In fact, she didn't know why she made such an invitation, maybe it was because she had a little bit of alcohol after pouring herself in Jingshui Tower, or because what she had seen and heard in the past half a year made her want to talk, in short, in her mind, this was a slightly impulsive decision, but fortunately, Lu Shen did not show any strange expression, just like his long-term gentleness and calmness.

"Miss Li, I respect you, thank you for helping me from the Battle of Guangling."

Lu Shen raised his glass and smiled.

Looking at his faint smile, Li Bingxue only felt that his heart was gradually calming down, and said, "I said earlier, you and I don't need to say thank you." Seriously, I should thank you. ”

"Then I don't say it, it's all in the wine."

Lu Shen bowed slightly, and then drank the wine in the cup.

Li Bingxue watched his free and easy behavior, so he drank it all like him, and then coughed lightly without surprise.

Lu Shen saw that her cheeks were slightly red, and recalled that in Jingshui Tower before, Li Bingxue drank every time he drank in small sips, and he suddenly realized a problem, this sassy female general who galloped on the battlefield should not be good at drinking.

"Miss Li, if you don't ......"

"It's okay, just drink it slowly."

Li Bingxue seemed to be an unpredictable prophet, and directly dispelled his idea of replacing wine with tea, and then explained gently: "I started the army at the age of fifteen, and it has been four years now. In fact, before the age of fifteen, I basically lived in the military camp, and practiced martial arts with my father's masters every day. Later, I wanted to join the Flying Feather Battalion, which was full of cavalry, but my father didn't agree at first, because it was really not convenient for women to be in the barracks. ”

In the past, Lu Shen and Li Bingxue basically talked about business, and rarely involved each other's privacy issues, this was the first time that Li Bingxue revealed his past in front of him.

Lu Shen thought about it, took the initiative to pour wine into the cups of the two, and listened quietly.

Li Bingxue took in his movements, the smile on his face became a little thicker, and continued: "I pestered my father and brother every day, and in the end they couldn't resist me, so they had to let me enter the Flying Feather Camp. My mother said, it's okay if you insist on joining the army, but you can't learn from the men in the army who are invincible, after all, you have to marry someone in the future. She also said that there were a few rules that she had to agree with me, otherwise I would not be allowed to join the army, and one of them was that I was not allowed to drink with others. ”

Lu Shen nodded and said, "It's easy to make mistakes when you're drunk. ”

Li Bingxue said leisurely: "My mother also thinks so, she said that the most important thing in her daughter's family is the word Qingming, and I am the eldest daughter of the governor of Jingzhou, if there is any joke in the army, it will affect more than my own reputation." So in the past four years, unless I am in front of my family, I have always been drunk at banquets in the army. ”

When she said the last sentence, her bright eyes looked at Lu Shen fixedly.

It has been more than five months since they met outside Guangling City, and Lu Shen already knows her temperament quite well, on the one hand, she is naturally straightforward and straightforward, and on the other hand, she has developed a simple and direct style of living in the military camp for a long time, which has created her unique style of acting, which is completely different from most women in this world.

But from the tone of her voice at the moment, there is also a bit of depression and loneliness hidden under a fire as bright as hers, so she wants to find a listener.

Thinking of this, Lu Shen said softly: "Actually, you don't like your current life? ”

Li Bingxue shook her head and said: "I can't talk about liking or being tired, but sometimes I calm down and think about it alone, and I am curious about what the life of ordinary women is like." Growing up in the military camp, I have no girlfriends, and I have no friendship with those ladies, and all I see every day are battlefield men licking blood from the knife edge. ”

"In this way, you and my senior sister have some similarities."

Lu Shen couldn't help but think of Lin Xi.

Li Bingxue took half of the wine cup and drank it, and said slowly: "I heard my brother mention that Miss Lin's father is the leader of the Seven Star Gang in the Northland. ”

Lu Shen nodded and said, "Yes." My sister has not had much contact with the art of war, but she has been practicing martial arts every day since she was a child, and she has basically not experienced a normal life. ”

"It's not easy."

Li Bingxue sighed softly, and then smiled: "Whether it is the rivers and lakes or the battlefield, it seems to be chic and wanton, but it is actually a little helpless. ”

She didn't elaborate on where the helplessness was, but Lu Shen could probably guess it.

Li Bingxue asked with a little curiosity: "How much does Miss Lin drink?" ”

Lu Shen said gently: "Senior sister said that she was born with a good amount of alcohol, and she should not have been drunk so far. ”

"I'm definitely not as good as her in this matter." Li Bingxue smiled freely, but she didn't care too much.

In fact, she didn't know why she wanted to leave Lu Shen behind, not to talk about whether it was in line with etiquette, she seemed to have something to tell Lu Shen in her heart, but when the words came to her mouth, she didn't know what to do.

In her nineteen years, she had never had such a complex and hazy feeling, as if she was in a thick fog, unable to see the direction of the road ahead.

She didn't know how to express this lingering and vague feeling.

It was a very boring feeling for a crisp woman like her, so she raised her glass again and drank the soft drink.

"My father admires you very much, my brother has praised you more than once, and I myself have a good opinion of you. If you tell you what you've done one by one, it seems to be very verbose, but I don't know when it started......"

Perhaps it is because the crisp wine has more stamina, and her fair cheeks are becoming more and more pink, which is a little more lovely and pure than her usual heroic appearance.

Lu Shen listened to her unfinished words, and gradually tasted some complicated meanings, so he said sincerely: "Miss Li, don't drink anymore." ”

Li Bingxue shook her head and muttered, "When I was in Jianghua City, my brother once came to me, and he said that I was nineteen years old, and I had to think about my life events. Although he said it very tactfully, I understood what he meant, after all, the vast majority of women in this world will marry at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and most of them at my age have already raised children. If I keep putting it off like this, I'll soon become an old girl who can't get married. ”

Lu Shen naturally wouldn't think so, but he also admitted that Li Bingxue's feelings had some truth.

This world is not the same as his previous life.

The two raised their glasses and drank together, Li Bingxue stared into his eyes and said, "Miss Lin is your crush, right?" ”

Perhaps she was the only one who could ask such a direct question.

Lu Shen slowly put down the wine glass, met her direct gaze, and said without hesitation: "Yes." ”

Li Bingxue looked at him quietly, and after a long time, he said, "I should be happy that you are so honest, after all, you are the first friend I met outside the barracks." But I don't feel very happy, Lu Shen, why is this? ”

This is an eternal problem with an obvious answer, but it has been difficult for countless literati and writers throughout the ages to ponder.

Lu Shen is not a stupid person, let alone a saint who is too forgetful, and in the face of the sudden confession of an excellent woman like Li Bingxue, his mood is also very complicated.

At this moment, Li Bingxue drank the last glass of wine, and then fell on the table with two mutters.

Lu Shen looked at it in a daze, and called softly: "Miss Li? ”

She didn't react at all, apparently long past that tipping point.

Lu Shen didn't expect Li Bingxue to be so drunk, which was in line with her consistent performance, but the lonely man and widow were in the same room, and the other party was already drunk and unconscious, so he couldn't respond to Li Bingxue's drunken words at this time.

After a while, several big maids from Li Bingxue arrived, and Lu Shen briefly explained a few words in their strange eyes, and then left with some embarrassment.

"Miss, Miss......" The maids didn't have the leisure to think about Lu Shen's identity, some went to prepare sobering tea, and some brought warm towels to help Li Bingxue wipe his face.

In the midst of the chaos, Li Bingxue suddenly sat up, his eyes were full of drunkenness, but his face was as bright as a peach blossom.

"I'm fine, don't be nervous."

She calmed the maids in a calm tone, but she was already extremely remorseful in her heart, and she couldn't cry or laugh.

My mother was really right, getting drunk is not a good thing, why did I suddenly say that sentence in a moment of excitement.

How will she and Lu Shen get along in the future?

What nonsense......
