Shen Li glanced at Shen Yan lightly, although his expression did not change much, the slight smile raised at the corner of his mouth was the first time he had shown a smile in the past few days.

"Are you embarrassed to ask, what did I tell you before, this handsome seal can't be taken casually. It's such a big person, why are you still worrying?"

"Hey, hey, third brother. ”

A few days ago, Shen Qiwangye, who was hired on the battlefield and made many soldiers of the Ming Kingdom awe-inspired, smiled like a child in front of Shen Li at this moment.

"Aren't I anxious! Thinking that I am a dignified country, the enemy is coming, and none of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty dare to stand up and ask for the commander. Hey, didn't you see your father's expression at that time, I couldn't bear it. So in a fit of rage, I forgot what you said. ”

"Hmph!" Shen Li glared at him, although he seemed to be angry, he actually cared more than blame in his heart.

"Then why don't you want to think about it, if you have an accident on the front line, will your father be even more sad? Do you know that as soon as I returned to Beijing, I was called by the queen mother, and I haven't seen you for a while, and I am very haggard for your business. ”

At the mention of Xia Hou, Shen Yan's expression was obviously much darker. The queen mother is the weakness in his heart, he knows better than anyone that the queen mother loves him and loves him, and lets him do what he likes. This time, he led the troops to the battle, which really worried the queen mother.

"Third brother, I know I was reckless. But I can't help it, the man should have defended his family and the country. I am the seventh prince of Daming, although I have been wandering outside and ignoring the major affairs of the court and politics, but at the moment of national crisis, I will definitely stand up. I'm not like you, the third brother, I'm smart, calm, wise and wise, so my father and mother always treat me as a child. But in my heart, I really want to be like you, third brother, to be a good son who makes them proud!"

Shen Li was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the younger brother in front of him, who could be said to have been seeing the eldest brother since he was a child. He stood upright in the cold wind, wearing silver armor, and although his face was stained with wind and frost, his clear eyes were still extremely bright.

For a moment, Shen Li felt that it was only a few days. This child, who had been following him and liked to rely on him, suddenly seemed to be a different person. When did that little man grow as tall as him, and when did that thin body grow broad shoulders that people can trust and rely on?

"Ayan, you've just grown up. ”

Shen Li patted Shen Yan's shoulder, and his words were serious and sensitive. Shen Yan only regarded this as a compliment, and touched the back of his head with some embarrassment.

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he couldn't help but ask: "Third brother, you haven't told me why you came here? Have you found the dragon vein? Have you seen the holy beast qilin? Have you got the blood of the qilin? Has your father made you the crown prince? And wood, is she good at wood?"

Shen Yan asked several questions in a row, not paying attention to Shen Li's sudden stiff expression when he said the last sentence. Xiao Qiye remembered the agreement he made with Mu Yan when he was leaving. Then his heart warmed, and he couldn't help but say again: "The border battle is urgent, and I don't have time to wait for her to come back." So I want to win the battle as soon as possible and go back, and then let her see me riding a horse!

Complicated emotions flashed in Shen Li's eyes, and he lowered his eyes slightly and did not answer. Shen Yan is straightforward, and he doesn't think about the bad side at all. Seeing Shen Li like this, he thought that he had just asked too much, or he deliberately mentioned Mu Yan, which made the third brother feel a little uncomfortable.

"Third brother, don't get me wrong. You know, Mu Yan and I, I'm ......."

Shen Yan was embarrassed and wanted to explain, but he had no choice but to know his thoughts, in fact, everyone knew it. If you say anything more, it will only get darker and darker. Seeing this, Shen Li slightly hooked the corners of his lips and smiled, shaking his head at Shen Yan.

"You don't have to explain, the third brother knows. Mu Yan ...... She's fine. I got the blood of the unicorn back, and my father also planned to make me the crown prince. But now that the Snow Country is coming, and you are fighting the enemy on the border, I don't worry about you, so I ask my father to let me come here to exchange you for your return. In the future, when I have calmed down here, I will go back to accept my father's canonization. ”

Shen Li answered all of Shen Yan's questions lightly. Of course, about the part of Mu Yan, it is naturally a lie. Shen Yan frowned and was a little displeased, not because he saw through Shen Li's lying, but because he ......

"Why did the third brother come here to change me back? It's not that I can't fight, and it's not that I'm sick and injured and can't go into battle to kill the enemy! Since you're here, the two of us brothers join forces, wouldn't it be even more able to kill those intruders in the Snow Country!"

"Nonsense!"

Shen Li reprimanded coldly, "The queen mother is our two sons, especially you are her biological flesh and blood who was pregnant in October, and you have always loved her. Now that our two brothers have come to the border, how can she not worry about it? Little Snow Country, can she still touch my Ming Kingdom against the sky? It is enough to have me here. Pack your bags and get back to Beijing as soon as possible. If you have nothing to do with her, you can do your filial piety for me. ”

"But I ...... it."

Shen Yan was a little reluctant, pursed his lips and muttered hesitantly, refusing to agree. Seeing this, Shen Li frowned, and the already cold person looked even more serious at the moment.

"I came with my father's will, don't you want to resist the decree, and you don't even listen to your father's words?"

"No, no, no!"

When Shen Yan heard that Shen Li had moved his father out, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's not that I don't listen to my father, and it's not that I don't listen to you." I just think...... Felt...... Well, forget it, since you've all asked me to go back, I'll go back......"

Shen Yan fell helplessly on his shoulders. I think he has been very obedient to Shen Li's words since he was a child, and basically what he, the third brother, said, sometimes works better than his father's holy decree. Only this time, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

The father and the queen mother recalled him, and they didn't have to think about it to know, but they were afraid that he would be in danger at the border. But isn't the third brother also their son? Why don't you worry about him? No matter how brave and smart the third brother is, he is also a human being. Why didn't the news come so that he would accompany the third brother to fight side by side, but let the third brother be here instead of him?

Now he can think of this, so the wise third brother will definitely think of it. But he didn't say anything, and always treated him like a child who was ignorant, perfunctory to him, thinking that he didn't know anything. In fact, his heart is like a mirror!

In fact, if you can act recklessly, who is willing to be so strict with yourself at a glance? If you care a little, who will close yourself off and be unwilling to open your heart to anyone? Few people understand the bitterness in the third brother's heart. Even from the beginning to the end, he didn't expect anyone to understand and care. But if there is a concern in my heart, a miss, that is the real person. Fortunately, the third brother still has him, and Mu Yan......
