"Okay, let's go back to Beijing. ”

Shen Li did not hesitate at all, took Mu Yan's hand and prepared to find a way out and leave. But Shen Yan suddenly stopped him at this time, and his expression became extremely serious.

"Third brother, we finally came here, don't you feel sorry for you to go back like this?"

"What do you mean?"

Shen Li raised his eyebrows and looked at him, and Shen Yan said with a natural expression: "Judging from the temperament of the eldest brother, since he has already come here, he will definitely not give up if he does not find the dragon vein." And the other brothers, I bet with you that no one is willing to take over the seal. So, what I mean is, third brother, you stay and continue to search for the dragon vein, and I will go back for you to lead the troops on the expedition!"

"You?"

This time, not only Shen Li was surprised, but even Mu Yan couldn't help but cry out in confusion.

Shen Yan pursed his lips and rolled his eyes, looking very unhappy. "What's wrong? What's wrong with me? Don't look at the way I look on weekdays, but once I get serious, it's very responsible!"

"Nonsense!"

Shen Li frowned and shook his sleeves, "Isn't it child's play to lead troops to fight? Don't say that you have never had these experiences, you are not in Beijing all the year round, and you don't even know the situation between the two countries now, how can you let your father and emperor hand over the military power to you with peace of mind?"

In fact, these are not the point, Empress Xia concentrated on cultivating him and indulged Shen Yan to wander outside, saying that it was benevolent and righteous, but in fact, he didn't want Shen Yan to live a freer life. Being in the emperor's house is far from being as good as people think, and the summer queen let Shen Yan choose the life he wants, if he doesn't want to be the emperor, this heavy responsibility will naturally fall on him Shen Li.

How can the three princes not know the good intentions of the summer queen. It's just that he just wanted to sit on the throne, but it happened to meet the expectations of the summer queen. Snow Country has been eyeing Daming for many years, and at this time, he finally couldn't bear to send troops to provoke, and killed Old General Feng. If Shen Yan went back to take over the military power, how could Empress Xia be willing? How could his father be embarrassed? Among his father's many princes, I am afraid that he was the most unwilling to hope that his seventh brother would go on the expedition.

"Third brother, don't look at my younger brother, I seem to be out and about all year round, but I actually care about the affairs of the court. Don't worry, it's not reckless for me to go back to pick up the troops this time. ”

Speaking of this, the always cynical little seventh master also sighed, with a serious look.

"Third brother, I won't tell you. Although I don't go back to the palace much, I understand some things. Among my father's sons, he loves me the most, and the third brother you value the most. Although the eldest brother is also brave and good at fighting, his ambition is too big and he is too cruel and tyrannical. The second brother is cowardly and can't make a big deal, let alone the fourth brother, the fifth brother and the sixth brother. The ministers of the court and the central government are basically on the side of the third brother, and the position of the crown prince is just around the corner, but the eldest brother is not convinced, and the ancestral rules are also respected by the elders. The father had no way to openly show favoritism, so he took out the dragon vein to say something. Big brother has a rare chance to bring you down, so it's impossible for him to give up easily. I don't know all about the situation in the two countries, but I still know some. My father is old, and he is also going to sit in the imperial city, if he really chooses someone from the prince to take command of the battle, I am afraid it will be me. ”

"Wait!"

Mu Yan, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "But if you go back alone, how should the emperor explain it?

Shen Yan waved his hand and couldn't help but knock on her head. "Stupid! Since my father retrieved the blood of the unicorn back then, he must have also broken through this forest and knew the strangeness of this forest. After I returned to Beijing, I told him that the third brother asked me to stay outside the forest and wait for him to come back, and he went to the forest alone. Then I received the news and hurried back, and the third brother didn't know yet, isn't it over?"

When Mu Yan heard this, he rarely showed him an impressive expression. Shen Li shook his head, still with a serious expression.

"No. The border city was broken, General Feng was killed in battle, and when my country was in such danger, how could I still have the heart to find any dragon veins. Seventh brother doesn't need to say much, I'll go back with you. ”

"Oh, third brother, are you stupid!" Shen Yan was anxious, "If you leave like this, what if the eldest brother is really blind and the cat touches the dead mouse and finds the dragon vein for him? Do you really want to give up the crown prince to the eldest brother?"

Shen Li lowered his eyes and pondered, his expression relaxed slightly, after all, he had been thinking about it for so long, seeing that the people wanted, and the ministers of the DPRK and China also praised it, did he really want to give up?

Shen Yan was stunned when he saw him, and immediately continued: "Besides, I may not necessarily lead the troops to the battle immediately after I go back. It's still so far from the stable, and it will take some time to get there. And the queen mother's side, she must not be at ease, and I still have to appease her emotions. Third brother, you can stay and look for the dragon vein, if you can rush back before I go on the expedition, that is the best, I can go to the border with you to kill the enemy! I, I, have been wandering outside for so long, always evading my identity and duty. Now that the Snow Country is coming, it's time for me to repay my father's love. ”

Shen Li's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but reach out and pat Shen Yan's shoulder.

"Ayan, you've grown up. ”

"Hehe, I am always spoiled by my father, queen mother, and third brother, so I won't grow up. Shen Yan smiled, his eyes suddenly straightened. "This time, let me prove the value of my existence!"

Shen Li looked at the younger brother in front of him who had always liked to stick to him since he was a child, and suddenly felt that he had changed a lot. The bond of blood is really so strong, and the boy who played hip-hop all day long in the past actually knew his responsibility and responsibility when the country was in danger.

Not only Shen Li was like this, but even Mu Yan felt that Shen Yan at this moment had become different from before. It turns out that the growth of a teenager can really rely on just one thing or one experience to make him fade away from his immature appearance and become a strong and reliable man.

Thinking of this, Mu Yan couldn't help but smile and said to Shen Yan: "Xiao Qi, wait for us in the stable." After your third brother and I found the dragon vein and retrieved the blood of the unicorn, we immediately went back to you. You must let me see the heroic posture of Shen Qi Wang Ye on horseback!"

"Haha!"

Shen Yan laughed loudly, seemingly very happy, and even his eyebrows and eyes were dyed with a thick smile. No one knew that what really made him decide to go back was actually Mu Yan. He saw that Mu Yan's heart was full of the third brother, and there was no place for him at all. He saw that the third brother was willing to sacrifice his life for Mu Yan, such a consensual feeling, what else did he mix?

"Wood, I'll wait for you to come back. ”

As if making a promise, Shen Yan said this sentence quite seriously. Shen Li glanced to the side, his eyes flickering slightly. I don't know if it's because of this sentence or because of some other unknown factor.
