"No, maybe it's because I'm afraid. ”

"What are you afraid of?"

Shen Yan was a little disdainful, and the third brother in his memory was like a god in his heart. Smart, fearless, decisive, calm. Shen Yan never knew that there were enough things in this world to make him afraid.

"I'm afraid that she will become my weakness, and I'm afraid that one day I will be controlled by others because of her, and I will not hesitate to lose my life. So while she hadn't sunk to this, she disappeared. In this way, I will still be your fearless third brother, or the impeccable third prince Shen in the eyes of everyone. ”

Shen Li said, and the sadness in his heart was suppressed. Shen Yan clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and frowned.

"Third brother, what's wrong with you? If you can't even protect your beloved woman, what are you talking about fearlessness and invulnerability? You have loved me since I was a child, and you will give me everything, but you regard Mu Yan as a treasure and refuse to let go. I know the bitterness in the third brother's heart, so when you finally meet the person in your heart, you can let go. But now that you're doing that, don't you make me a complete fool!"

Shen Yan thought of the smiling woman, and remembered her sly gaze when she teased the little ferret. With a pain in his heart, he rushed forward and punched Shen Li again.

"If I knew that you thought so, if I knew that you would rather sacrifice her to protect yourself, even if I was beheaded by my father's staff, I would have taken her away and flew away!"

Shen Yan went crazy and dragged Shen Li and punched him several times. The guards in the courtyard saw it and hurriedly came up to pull the rack, but they shrunk their necks by Shen Yan's fierce eyes, this is not pulling, not pulling is not. I don't understand how these two brothers, who have always had a good relationship, fought so well.

"Seventh Prince, you are angry, there is something you can't say slowly, don't, don't fight. ”

One guard went to pull Shen Yan, and the other went to help Shen Li up. But before his hand touched anyone, he was pushed away by Shen Li's sleeve.

From now on, no one will be allowed to enter this courtyard without the permission of this king!"

The two guards withdrew their hands stupidly, their faces embarrassed and embarrassed, and they didn't know what to do. Do you say that it is easy for these subordinates to fight? When the master fights, they are kind enough to persuade them to fight, and they are scolded. If you don't persuade them, you can't just watch them fight, right? These three princes and the seventh prince are all good people, and they don't want to see them get hurt.

"The third master, the seventh master, the little one is a doorkeeper, and he will never dare not listen to your orders. But the two masters have been here for a few days, and the brothers know that the two masters are good, so I can't see you like this. If you don't feel any pain or discomfort, you can take a small breath and do it? Although the Snow Country army has not moved for a long time, it is stationed outside the city gate. If the two masters are injured, and the enemy comes in at that time, how can it be good?"

A guard dared to say this, and Shen Li and Shen Yan were both stunned when they heard this. Shen Yan stopped his hand, and when he saw the blood on the corner of Shen Li's mouth, he couldn't help but feel a sudden burst in his heart, and he couldn't do it anymore.

He was so impulsive when he was red-eyed just now. After calming down and thinking about it at this time, he realized that Shen Li had not fought back from beginning to end. Otherwise, how could he hurt him? And Shen Li's eyes, although he kept smiling and saying irritating words, the sadness in his eyes was so obvious.

Yes, how could the third brother be willing to do so? A person who restrains his feelings like that, but he has always fixed his eyes on one person. If it weren't love, what would it be? From the time the third brother came to the border city to meet him, he vaguely felt that something was wrong. Now that I think about it, is it the eyes? In the past, I hid all my thoughts and treated people warmly. Now the sadness can't be hidden, and there is a touch of sadness in those deep eyes.

Shen Yan lowered his hands and slowly turned around and walked away. The two guards opened their mouths, not knowing what to advise, so they let him go. He immediately quickly helped Shen Li up and asked him about his injuries. Shen Li shook his head and went back to the house with his chest covered.

As night fell, Shen Li walked up to the top of the city tower with two pots of wine. Shen Yan sat there, as if he had been staying for a long time, and his face was a little astringent from the wind. When he saw Shen Li, he didn't call him third brother as affectionately as in the past. But the long-term tacit understanding still made him move his body and move out of his position to let him sit down.

Shen Li threw a pot of wine in his hand to him, lifted his robe and sat down beside him. Looking at the endless night sky, he drank silently. He didn't speak, and Shen Yan didn't say either. Pick up the flask and take a sip. The cold wind makes people cold, but it also makes people extremely sober.

"Ayan, if I ask the previous question again, do you have a different answer?"

What is the problem? If you could go over the same time?

Shen Yan pursed his lips and looked into the distance. "Third brother, I've thought about it. If I had left with Mu Yan, my father would not have connived at forgiveness even if he was pampering me. What's more, she doesn't love me at all, and she won't be happy with me. ”

Xu is the cool breeze of this night is sad feeling, Shen Yan raised his head and poured another sip of wine, and continued: "I was thinking, if I were her, I might also choose to stay by the third brother's side." After all, life is short for decades, how many people can live as wanton as me? Wood once told me, don't look at her like this, in fact, very lazy. If there is a moment of peace, there is no other thought. Maybe she felt that she could be happy with the third brother, so naturally she didn't want to go with me. ”

"Heh......" Shen Li chuckled, "I don't want to leave, she asked me for a divorce, but I just refused to give it." ”

"That's the third brother, you beat her with a whip!" Shen Yan retorted angrily, remembering the past, he was still indignant for someone. "You don't want to think about which girl can be treated like that? But even so, she hasn't gone back with you! Hey, maybe it's also your fate, that day of the Lantern Festival...... I'm just a step slower......"

"Hmm. Shen Li whispered, "I didn't expect to meet her on the street." Speaking of which, I grew up with her since childhood, and I have always annoyed her a lot. To tell you the truth, the moment my father asked me to marry her, I really wanted to resist the decree. So the moment I took off her mask, I never expected to feel excited. Do you know what I was thinking at that time?heh~ I think that if I hadn't been blinded by those lanterns, I would probably have gone crazy. ”

I don't know if it was the cold wind or the strength of the wine, when he thought that he would never see someone again in the future, Shen Yan suddenly felt bitter in his heart, and blinked vigorously and glanced his face to the side.
