After practicing, Shen Yunpeng found that the sky was completely dark.

He changed into his regular clothes and entered the hall, but saw his sister Shen Qingluo sitting there quietly, I don't know how long it has been here.

Although their brother and sister have long known each other, Shen Qingluo is afraid that it will affect her brother's reputation and career because of her unknown identity, so she is resolutely unwilling to be commensurate with Shen Yunpeng as a brother and sister in front of outsiders, let alone openly appear in his Commander's Mansion.

Regarding Shen Qingluo's scruples, Shen Yunpeng was very unimpressed.

But he has always loved this young girl, and he has been separated for many years, and he has been lost and regained, and in addition to love, he is even more pity.

Therefore, no matter what this sister says, he will blindly accommodate, never refute, let alone go against her wishes.

In fact, Shen Qingluo's caution is not superfluous, with her shrewdness and transparency, she has already seen her brother Shen Yunpeng's dangerous situation like walking on thin ice.

As soon as she learned that the Queen Mother took advantage of her brother's loyalty, let him steal the palace gate, helped the four princes carry out the palace mutiny, and usurped the throne, Shen Qingluo realized that her brother had stepped into a terrible whirlpool and would face extinction at any time.

only hated that she was in Yuguo at that time, and she was really beyond the reach of everything that was happening in Rongguo.

So after returning to Darong, she asked to stay away from the deep palace on the grounds of her embarrassing identity, most importantly, to stay away from the Queen Mother's side.

So, she used Songfeng Building as a cover to engage in the activities of listening to news and training secret agents.

On the surface, she, the Qingluo girl, is still acting as a spy for the Queen Mother.

In fact, she is behind stealth, giving advice to her brother Shen Yunpeng, and dealing with opponents and enemies from all sides, whether overt or covert, at any time.

It is precisely because of her sister's secret mention that Shen Yunpeng, a reckless man, will have a clearer understanding of the power struggle between the queen mother and the emperor, and can temporarily protect himself in this extremely sensitive and delicate situation.

In addition, it was also because of Shen Qingluo's strategizing and pulling her good sister Ziwei as an ally that Shen Yunpeng always maintained a slight upper hand in the battle with Gongyu Sayan, the treacherous villain.

However, this favorable situation was completely broken by the cold ice falling from the sky!

As soon as she heard that Han Bing had appeared in Xinjing, Shen Qingluo immediately realized that her brother was in big trouble!

is not only because my brother was ordered by the Queen Mother to capture my sister Xiangjun who was cold, but also because of my brother's special status as the commander of the Praetorian Guard.

For Han Bing, all the people who hold the military and political power of Darong are the enemies of him, the prince of Yuguo.

And with Shen Qingluo's understanding of Han Bing, wherever this ruthless young man went, what he left behind the most was the corpse of an enemy......

Sure enough, on the second day of his appearance, Han Bing couldn't wait to send a war letter to Shen Yunpeng.

Shen Qingluo originally still had a glimmer of hope, maybe the Queen Mother would take the initiative to remove the cold ice that was clearly here to save the Xiangjun girl she valued as soon as possible.

And things are really as Shen Qingluo wants, the Queen Mother is indeed ready to make a move.

However, with the Queen Mother's move, there will be not only one Han Bing, but also hundreds of Praetorian Guard soldiers who participated in the ambush of Han Bing.

In this way, her brother Shen Yunpeng, as the commander of the Praetorian Guard, will inevitably be involved.

Shen Qingluo naturally knows her brother very well, once the truth of that matter is known to her brother, there are only two endings-

First, out of loyalty to the Queen Mother, my brother was willing to be manipulated by her and completely became a killing tool in her hands.

The two, that is, the elder brother woke up and tried to fight, trying to get rid of the control of the queen mother, but in the end it was inevitable that he would become a victim of a power struggle.

And these two endings are absolutely unacceptable to Shen Qingluo.

So after weighing the pros and cons repeatedly, she finally made up her mind to join forces with Han Bing.

This idea seems ridiculous, but Shen Qingluo has great confidence in it.

Although, she, the Qingluo girl and Han Bing, were inseparable enemies when they were in Yuguo.

And for now, Han Bing is also Shen Yunpeng's biggest enemy.

But Shen Qingluo knows one truth very well, that is, there are no eternal enemies, and there are no eternal friends.

So, maybe at this moment, Han Bing is indeed the common enemy of their brother and sister, but it is likely that soon, due to the needs of the situation, they will form an alliance again to deal with those common enemies of both sides - the Queen Mother, the Emperor and the sinister Gongyu Sayan.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Shen Qingluo firmly believes that with Han Bing's wisdom and wisdom, she will not let go of this opportunity to cooperate with herself.

The key question is how to convince the elf-like boy that he is sincere and willing to make a fair deal with him.

At this time, the news provided by Ziwei about Shui Lingluo was like a timely rain, allowing Shen Qingluo to find an important bargaining chip in negotiations with Han Bing.

In the end, the outcome of this negotiation was indeed satisfactory. Shen Qingluo was not only able to save her brother, but even found hope in it to get her brother out of that terrible whirlpool.

It stands to reason that a secret spy like her, who has long been accustomed to deceit, really shouldn't trust the cold ice boy who likes to dig holes and harm people.

However, after seeing the disapproval and ruthlessness of the six relatives of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and seeing the treachery and despicability of Gongyu Sassa, Shen Qingluo clearly felt that Han Bing, the prince of the enemy country, was more worthy of his trust.

Because from what this young man did in the past, she not only saw his ferocity and cruelty to his enemies, but also saw his affection and righteousness for his friends.

So, even though it was impossible for them to become permanent friends because they were in a hostile country, at this moment, she believed that the cold ice did not treat her as an enemy anymore.

This is why she quietly appeared in front of her brother Shen Yunpeng according to the request made by Han Bing.

Seeing the slightly stunned look on his brother's face after seeing him, Shen Qingluo couldn't help but smile, stepped forward and gently grabbed his sleeve, and led him to a table that was already full of all kinds of delicacies and sat down.

Qingluo knew that her brother had been practicing hard these days, so she deliberately cooked by herself and made some dishes that her brother liked on weekdays, and wanted to have a good meal with her brother. Would you like it, brother?"

Shen Yunpeng's tiger eyes couldn't help but flash a complicated color, and he couldn't help but sigh softly, and said, "This is a piece of Qingluo's heart, it's too late for my brother to be happy, how can he not want to?"

Shen Qingluo smiled again, picked up the wine jug, and filled the wine glasses for her brother and herself.

Then, she picked up her wine glass and said softly: "My brother is going to compete with others tomorrow, so it is not appropriate to drink too much." Tonight, Qingluo only respects my brother's only glass of wine, and I wish my brother can win and win glory for my Darong!"

Shen Yunpeng silently picked up his wine glass, with a faint sense of guilt on his face.

He is a top master himself, so he naturally has a relatively accurate estimate of the strength of his opponent.

What's more, he and Han Bing have actually fought twice.

Although Han Bing didn't fight back once, this just shows that this young man's martial arts will only be above him, and will never be below him.

This means that his chances of winning tomorrow's competition are really slim.

But whether it is out of the pride of a martial artist or out of the unremitting pursuit of the spirit of martial arts, he can't and is unwilling to give up this opportunity to compete with Han Bing, a peerless master.

Although he knew that defeat was death, he couldn't refuse this life-and-death battle at all. Or rather, he really couldn't resist the temptation to reach the supreme realm of martial arts.

He knew very well that he might never walk off that bridge alive tomorrow.

And he can't go without worry, because there is another person in this world who makes him most at ease - his sister Qingluo.

So in the past few days, he has been hiding in his house, the main reason is that he doesn't dare to face her, and he doesn't know how to explain his extremely irresponsible behavior to her.

He thought that he could keep avoiding, but who knew that today his sister took the initiative to come to the door, which made him feel extremely ashamed of his cowardly behavior in addition to guilt.

Hearing what his sister said, Shen Yunpeng not only did not get the slightest comfort, but on the contrary, he felt a sense of self-shame.

His sister's tolerance and understanding made him more aware of his selfishness and willfulness.

At this point, Shen Yunpeng understood that all the guilt and regret were too late.

He, the elder brother, is destined to owe his sister in this life.

He failed to protect her and made her suffer. And in the future, he will no longer be able to shelter her from the wind and rain, and see that she has to meet a lover and marry a woman......

Tilting his head suddenly, Shen Yunpeng drank all the wine in the cup.

The wine is sad, and there is an inexplicable bitter taste.

He finally mustered up the courage to look at his sister, only to see her looking at him with a smile.

And for some reason, Shen Yunpeng actually had a very strange feeling at this time, as if there was a hint of cunning in his sister's smile......
