Shen Zechuan got Qi Huilian's lifelong learning in Zhaosin Temple. When he knelt down at Qi Huilian's feet six years ago, he already knew which path he was going to take. He tempered his bones and blood in pain and anxiety, and he once naively thought that he could overturn the constraints of the aristocratic family by relying on power and balance.
However he lost.
Shen Zechuan looked forward, the river was flowing gurgly, like a dark life that could not be looked back, only flickering because of the reflected starry sky. He slowly pushed the small bamboo fan away, slowly closed it again, and said, "I left the city, but I am still in the cage. This is a punishment for my luck in the past, and I must find a new way out as soon as possible. .Mr. entrusted me with a lifetime of faith, I once promised to go to the end of this war for him. Our past forbearance was because Da Zhou didn't seem to be irreversible, but now I understand that it has long been It's day and night."
Qi Huilian shouted in the heavy rain, but his raised arms still seemed to be trying to hold up the collapsed building. He and Hai Liangyi took completely different paths, but lit the same torch. At the last moment of burning his life for the Li family, he recklessly abandoned the prince he used to worry about, and chose Shen Zechuan, who came from a humble background.
Qi Huilian's two students are the cloud mud in the world. The crown prince is a direct descendant of the Li family, and he seems to be born to be a Mingjun. Qi Huilian thought they could open up a new world because they were the undisputed orthodoxy in this world, but he was defeated. He found Shen Zechuan in the mud. It was Shen Zechuan whose biological mother was a cheap family and whose father was defeated, and Shen Zechuan who was not directly related. Qi Huilian chose such a Shen Zechuan, which was a change in his beliefs in his life, which showed that he no longer obeyed the arrangement of blood, and he wanted to let such a Shen Zechuan go to hell.
"I give up and continue to forbear," Shen Zechuan put his fan on his knees, turned slightly sideways, and looked at Xiao Chiye, "I will choose another way to fight, I will stay in Zhongbo. You once said to Tantaihu, national shame It's still snowing, the family revenge has not yet been avenged, it's right to be safe, the shame suffered by Zhongbo should be washed away in the snow of Zhongbo, this is what I have to do. One day we will gallop under the sky of Libei, that's why I'm strong enough When the time comes. Two million to marry a wolf cub who can't leave the North King, such a dowry is not worthy of my Xiao Ce'an. I am in Zhongbo, and I will be your indestructible shield in the future."
The water bag hurriedly fell to the ground, splashing the corner of Xiao Chiye's robe and splashing water on the ground. In the moonlight as soft as gauze, Xiao Chiye suddenly clenched Shen Zechuan's hand and hugged him.
After a long while, Xiao Chiye's hoarse voice was close to Shen Zechuan's ear: "I leave my back to you, and your chest to me, we are indispensable. I will choose the best horse for you in Libei, We will build a house on the border between Zhongbo and Libei, and we will meet every month. If you want to marry me, two million is not enough, and I want Lan Zhouxiao, who is hard to buy."
Shen Zechuan raised his hand to cover Xiao Chiye's back, embracing this infatuation. Xiao Chiye is the wind that traverses the grassland, attacking Shen Zechuan's calm heart, allowing him to taste the sweetness of love. He has lost Duanzhou, lost his husband, and he has not much left. He always has to cross the unfathomable ravine and become the fortress of these remaining treasures.

Zhou Gui, the capital of Ibaraki Prefecture, has been busy with official business in recent days. He heard that the Imperial Army had passed through Dancheng and was coming to Ibaraki State. He tossed and turned and stayed up all night.
Zhou Gui's teacher was from Dengzhou, Zhongbo, named Kong Ling, and he had classmate friendship with Zhou Gui. At this moment, he set out the wine and asked the cook to make a few refreshing cold dishes. He and Zhou Gui sat cross-legged under the porch, drinking and talking across the table. The locust tree in the yard is falling with white flowers, and there is a fresh sweet smell.
"I can't sleep these days." Zhou Gui said while holding the wine glass.
Kong Ling picked cold vegetables to eat, swallowed a mouthful of spicy wine, and sat casually, saying, "I know that the gangsters in Dunzhou have gathered together, and they cannot be underestimated. After a bumper harvest, the bandit leader Lei Changming is staring at our granary in Ibaraki.”
"The food was given to the Libei Iron Cavalry as military rations, and the granary is now empty in Cizhou. I wrote to Dunzhou Prefecture, but you know that he was supported by Lei Changming as a puppet, how dare he act for us Reasoning with Lei Changming? I'm really suffering." Zhou Gui couldn't swallow a sip of wine, "Then the second son of Libei defected and fled the capital, and the 20,000 forbidden troops immediately arrived at the gate of the city, Chengfeng, I am It's a dilemma, you can't let it go, and you can't let it go!"
Kong Ling put down his chopsticks and said, "Libei is going to be reversed. Izuku is caught in the middle. It may not last long if you are unstable. You have to make up your mind as soon as possible."
"It's up to me to decide," Zhou Gui sighed melancholy, "this time there are wolves ahead and tigers behind. Neither Libei nor Hudu can be blamed, and there is also a Lei Changming staring at him."
Kong Ling grabbed Huaihua and threw it into the drink: "Lei Changming is a bandit, and sooner or later he will be surrounded and suppressed. But the six states each pursue their own policies and cannot join hands to suppress bandits, and the imperial court does not know when they will send someone over. As Lei Changming grows bigger day by day and has become the emperor of Zhongbo, it is useless to be anxious."
"Six years ago, the sand cavalry entered the country, and Duan and Dunzhou bore the brunt of it, becoming a barren and poor land where "the bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no cock crowing for a thousand miles." Are you willing to be a garrison?" Zhou Gui looked at the courtyard, raised his hand and pointed to Kong Ling, "The reason why Cizhou can save its spare power is because the Libei Iron Cavalry quickly rescued. I have always remembered this friendship, so this time There is no complaint about coordinating the military rations. But for such a heinous crime as murdering the emperor, even if I want to pretend that I don’t know it, I can’t do it. Then Lei Changming will definitely come to ask for food and money within half a month, and Xiao Chiye just happened to arrive in Cizhou, these two overlords When we meet together, I'm really afraid that something will happen again, it's really a leak in the house and it rains overnight!"
Kong Ling drank and suddenly had an idea. He said, "Xiao Chiye brought 20,000 well-trained forbidden troops to Cizhou, isn't he our 'soldier'? If he is here, Lei Changming will also Measure your abilities!"
"The forbidden army has stayed in Qidu all the year round. Have you ever seen a battlefield with real swords and real guns? Lei Changming overthrew the garrison camps in Duan and Dunzhou. In the mountains, Xiao Chiye may not be his opponent in a fight." Zhou Gui waved his hand quickly, "Besides that second son Xiao is young and vigorous, he has not fought a few times, and he has his father and brother to protect him. I can't explain it to Li Bei either."
Kong Ling rubbed his goatee and said, "Xiao Chiye has made great contributions to Emperor Tianchen's succession to the throne. This time he betrayed the capital and the forbidden army is willing to follow him, which shows that he has the ability to lead troops, otherwise who would want to mention it? Running so far with him with his head in his head? But seeing him is better than seeing him once, and when he comes, let's meet him for a while!"
"I heard that it's not a good friend," Zhou Gui's heart was here, "and I live in the capital for a long time, if I'm full of playboys, then I have to find a way to send him away, I can't make trouble!"
* * *
A few days later, when the forbidden army really arrived at the city of Ibaru, Zhou Gui did not dare to let go directly, but opened the door to welcome Xiao Chiye and Shen Zechuan in. He asked someone to prepare a banquet early, but Xiao Chiye turned it down on the grounds that he was tired from running around on the road, so he asked him to prepare a table of home-cooked dishes to catch up.
They haven't met before, just through letters, how can there be anything old to talk about? Just looking for an opportunity to talk about it.
Shen Zechuan changed his clothes and stood behind the screen in the house looking at the courtyard through the window.
Xiao Chiye came in late and was still undressing. He solved half of it, leaned on the edge of the screen, looked at Shen Zechuan behind him, and said, "Can you see clearly through the screen?"
Shen Zechuan saw that the screen was easily pressed down by him, thinking that this man was really tall, and said, "It's like a dream and a fantasy before I'm moved, but when I see it clearly, it won't be so beautiful."
Xiao Chiye's open clothes showed half of his chest. He hung up the last piece of clothes uninhibitedly, and he could vaguely see those strong muscles through the screen. He was still crouching above the screen, and he never wore a crown after leaving the capital, but his messy hair could not hide his handsomeness. It seems that the closer he is to the North, the more mad and free he is.
"A flirtatious guy." Shen Zechuan stepped closer, put his hand around the back of Xiao Chiye's head, raised his head and kissed him.
Xiao Chiye pinched Shen Zechuan's chin, bullied Shen Zechuan to be shorter than him, and lifted him up. Shen Zechuan exposed his smooth and white neck, and was numb for a while.
"See clearly," Xiao Chiye rubbed Shen Zechuan's bright lips, "Isn't this charming enough?"
Shen Zechuan licked the water light between his lips, but it became more rosy. "It's almost meaningless," he said.
"Five hundred taels tonight," Xiao Chiye leaned closer and whispered, "No loss if you make money."
"I'm afraid I'm too weak and frail to take it." Shen Zechuan leaned back slightly, his fingers slid down, through the thin material of the screen, down Xiao Chiye's chest.
"Don't belittle yourself," Xiao Chiye looked dangerously, "Lan Zhou."
Shen Zechuan put his hand away and said, "When I came in just now, I saw someone beside Zhou Gui, who is that?"
"I don't know," Xiao Chiye changed his clothes neatly. "It should be Zhou Gui's master. I'll find out when I ask at the banquet later."
"Since he didn't let go immediately, he still has concerns." Shen Zechuan watched Xiao Chiye turn out of the screen, and then looked back to the hospital, "When talking at night, you can't—"
Xiao Chiye suddenly hugged Shen Zechuan by his waist, turned around and pressed against the wall beside the window, pressing him down and kissing him fiercely. Shen Zechuan raised his arms and hung on him, confused by his sudden kiss, his breath was messy.
"You can't bully others," Xiao Chiye said with a serious expression, "Follow his wife's instructions, I know."
Shen Zechuan was still panting, Xiao Chiye fastened his collar, brushed Mocong's hair, and pinched Shen Zechuan's right ear.
"I want to hang a pendant here as soon as possible and engrave my name, Xiao Ce'an."
