The two of them flirted with each other, tired and crooked. After taking a bath and washing for more than half an hour, Fu Shen was deliberately spoiled by Yan Xiaohan. After cleaning up, he went out and met Yu Qiaoting in the courtyard who was passing by.
General Yu's eyes swirled between the two, and he immediately sensed something keenly, and said with a wicked smile, "Congratulations to the general!"
Fu Shen said inexplicably, "What's so exciting?"
Yu Qiaoting smiled and said, "Little Biesheng is newly married, isn't this worth congratulating?"
Fu Shen's grievances have turned into two, and he was about to retort when Yan Xiaohan suddenly stepped forward from behind and said first, "General Yu is joking. Now the war is not settled, and the Central Plains are not settled. Those of you who are ministers should put all their energy into serving the country. Share your worries. How can you indulge in the love of your children and forget your duty to be loyal and patriotic?"
Yu Qiaoting couldn't believe that these powerful words came from Yan Xiaohan's mouth. He looked at Fu Shen with a lost face, but he saw that their general was looking at Yan Xiaohan, with a naturally serene expression. The tender affection in the corners of his eyes and brows was almost dripping out.
Yu Qiaoting: "..."
Co-authoring the two of you behind your back and locked in the house for so long, are you discussing how to clean up the old mountains and rivers and save the people from fire and water? Really disrespectful.
Yan Xiaohan not only opened his eyes to talk nonsense, but after speaking, he glanced at Yu Qiaoting with a suspicious look full of "are you a beast?", with neither blushing nor heartbeat, and walked away with awe.
Yu Qiaoting was inexplicably three inches shorter in his eyes. Fu Shen didn't think it was a big deal when he watched the fun, and said gloatingly, "I owe you a scratch, right? It's time."
As expected of the top traitor in the Yuantai and Changzhi dynasties, the relationship between Fu Shen and his comrades was at stake!
In the evening, Yan Xiaohan ate with several generals of the Beiyan Army. Everyone tacitly ignored his status as the military envoy of the new dynasty, and only regarded him as Fu Shen's family, and it was rare to have a harmonious meal. After eating this simple reception feast, Fu Shen, as usual, went to inspect the various places in the camp. This matter should have been accompanied by a lieutenant general, but tonight everyone in the Beiyan Army seems to have closed their mouths. Seeing this, Yan Xiaohan knew that everyone gave him face, so he consciously accepted it: "In that case, let me accompany the general for a trip."
Fu Shen said with a half-smile but not a smile, "Just be yourself."
Yu Qiaoting used to accompany Yan Xiaohan and Fu Shen on the golden stage during their big wedding, so naturally he knew their affairs well. Even if the generals didn't know it before, they should have understood that the two of them were doing a fake show and had a mutual affection after hearing about the incident by the river today. Fu Shen didn't point it out bluntly, but his act of bringing Yan Xiaohan back to the Beiyan Army's garrison was tacitly acknowledging that Yan Xiaohan was on their side.
In this way, no one would be ignorant and insist on running between the two at this time, and the Beiyan Army, with unprecedented solidarity, freed up a period of undisturbed people for the long-lost reunion. close time.
Outside Tangli Town is the majestic mountain, the surging river, the night wind brings the light fragrance of flowers, the starry river above the head is bright, the two horses walk side by side, under the vast sky, all the separations and the pain of lovesickness in the past year are like rushing rivers. Far away, only the heart of the rock that has not been moved after the big waves wash away the sand remains.
There was nothing to talk about about Fu Shen's stay in Ganzhou. It was nothing more than stockpiling food and training troops. Yan Xiaohan gave him a detailed account of the situation in the new dynasty, especially the attitude of Emperor Changzhi and the struggle between the old and the new party between the north and the south. Speaking of these things, it inevitably involves several grievances that the Empress suffered in the harem. Yan Xiaohan pondered it over and over and felt that he still couldn't hide it from him, so he told the truth.
Fu Ling's marriage to Prince Qi's mansion was the marriage that Fu Shen chose for her back then. He originally thought that King Qi had a gentle personality and treated people with sincerity. It would be a happy marriage. Unexpectedly, the world was impermanent and the country was destroyed. Now it seems that it is tantamount to pushing his sister into the fire pit with his own hands.
He promised Fu Ling what he did, but he did not do anything.
Fu Shen's face was expressionless, his profile was like a stern and hard stone statue in the dark night, but Yan Xiaohan always felt that he had an inexplicable feeling of fragility and fragility, and was about to open his mouth to comfort him, but Fu Shen made a sound before him, His consolation stuck back in his stomach: "Thank you for taking care of her."
"Even if my own brother is here, it may not be as thoughtful and meticulous as you," he laughed miserably at himself. "What's more, it is impossible for me to risk exile to offend the leader of the Jiangnan party for her sake."
Although Yan Xiaohan didn't go into details, it's not like Fu Shen has never waded through the muddy waters of the officialdom and contacted the Xue family. Of course, he guessed that Yan Xiaohan said "begging the emperor for an assignment to supervise the army" for the sake of leniency. He made up excuses out of his heart. Xue Shenggui was one of the six ministers, and the minister of the Yanying Palace. His daughter with the best future died in his hands for no reason. Even if the emperor was partial to Yan Xiaohan, he would still have to be a bowl of water.
He didn't ask to join the army at all... but because he made a mistake, he was kicked out of the center.
For a moment, guilt and frustration fell like a tidal wave. Fu Shenming knew what kind of path he had chosen, he could only go forward and had no chance to retreat. However, at this moment, his heart was like a gust of wind passing by, the ground was shaking and the mountains were shaking, and he was suspicious like never before.
Is he really on the right track
He was in vain as a human brother, and did not give any support to his sister who was alone in the palace. Instead, she became a thorn in everyone's eyes because of his exhaustion; he was in vain as a husband, and chose to go north as soon as the war broke out, leaving Yan Xiaohan alone in the south of the Yangtze River. To support the overall situation alone, and finally let Yan Xiaohan clean up the mess for him, so he was forced to leave the center and come to the dangerous front line...
Beiyan Army's mission is to protect the family and the country, but his family is about to be destroyed by himself.
Yan Xiaohan reined in his horse and stopped in place. He seemed a little displeased, and said indifferently, "It's been so long, you've lost my life."
He didn't call Fu Shen's name, and he didn't add "Marquis" or "General" jokingly, so this sentence sounded particularly stern and indifferent. Fu Shen's heart tightened suddenly, and he thought in surprise, "What does he mean? Angry?"
Once a person gets to the point of the bull's horn, his judgment will fall like a cliff, and his reason will be gone forever. If it were normal, Fu Shen had countless words and ways to answer Yan Xiaohan's words. He could even skip the surface entanglement and hear what Yan Xiaohan meant.
But now he can only force himself to suppress his flustered heartbeat, and pretend to be calm: "No, what are you thinking about?"
Even with the darkness covering him, Yan Xiaohan still caught his unnatural stiffness. He sighed silently, unable to hold back the bluffing indifference. He repeatedly warned himself in his heart that he was facing a burning stick that did not contain oil and salt. Now, tell him slowly.
He rolled over and dismounted, walked to the other side, and stretched out his hand to Fu Shen: "Come on, come down."
Fu Shen didn't use him to pick it up, he subconsciously raised his legs and jumped. Yan Xiaohan reluctantly walked over and held his hand. He found a large smooth stone near the river and sat down with him.
The flat area on the stone was limited, so two big men sitting side by side would inevitably squeeze each other. Fu Shen put his arms around Yan Xiaohan to prevent him from falling, and said with a frown, "It's cold at night, just sit for a while, don't catch a cold. ."
Yan Xiao said coldly, "Jingyuan, in your heart, do you think that apart from yourself being an indomitable hero, everyone else is a three-year-old child?"
"..." Fu Shen coughed and said embarrassedly, "What nonsense are you talking about."
Yan Xiaohan: "...Be honest, let's get down to business."
"How come?" Fu Shen couldn't help laughing, "Isn't this nonsense."
Yan Xiaohan said, "Since you know that other people are not three-year-olds, why are you still scrambling to be a father and mother for others, to protect them from the wind and rain?"
Fu Shen wrapped his arms around him unconsciously.
"General, you have to admit that you don't have three heads and six arms, and you're not an immortal. There are always things that you can't take care of." Yan Xiaohan rubbed his temples lightly with his fingers, "If you can do everything in the world with your own power. Cheng, what do you want us rice buckets to do?"
Fu Shen: "I..."
"No one in the world owes anyone anything," Yan Xiaohan said, "Even if you and I are husband and wife, even if you are the queen's elder brother, we can't kidnap you with this, we have to cry and wait for you to rescue us if anything happens. "
Fu Shen understood what he meant, and at the same time was stabbed at the point of laughter by his description.
Yan Xiaohan stretched out his arms and rolled him into his arms, whispering softly against his temples, "The Queen has a stoic temperament, she has nowhere to say when she is wronged, it is indeed your fault that you did not take good care of her; Leaving Jiangnan to come here, although it is borrowed from the east wind that is not compatible with Xue Sheng, what is the real reason, don't you understand?"
Fu Shen's ears trembled due to his warm breathing, and the tremor followed the blood to the deepest and softest part of his heart.
"No one forced me. I came to you myself. I have waited for seven years, and I don't want to wait for anyone's favor." Yan Xiaohan lowered his head and kissed his temple, "Jingyuan, I am Your husband, it's not your drag, so don't have a relationship with me - next time, I'm really going to be angry."
There is only endless silence in the dark night.
"But... Menggui," after a long silence, Fu Shen took his hand, pressed it to his heart, and said abruptly, "I can't even take care of my own family, how can I pretend to be 'loyal' and talk nonsense. Rebuilding the rivers and mountains, defending the family and the country? Isn't that all a joke?"
Yan Xiaohan closed his eyes in dismay, took a deep breath, and thought that this matter was going to be difficult tonight.
Fu Shen's sense of indebtedness was too heavy, and since he went north, this shadow has always lingered in his heart. The one-year separation was like a poison, and when I met the Queen's drug introduction, and under the influence of many factors, I finally boiled this guilt into a demon.
"Okay, if you have to find yourself unhappy, I will fulfill you."
Yan Xiaohan said simply: "You elder brother did not take good care of your sister, you should be punished; I am two years older than you, you once called me 'brother', and this year I have been busy preparing for the establishment of a new dynasty, and I never went north to find you. If that's the case, shouldn't my brother be punished too?"
