My house was confiscated and I was exiled. I emptied the emperor's warehouse and fled.

If it were in the past, Qin Junxian would have reprimanded Qin Ruolan for his rude words, and would have been moved by his mother, hoping that her mother would really be as kind and filial as her eldest brother.

But now, he was silently wiping the bed and letting the mother and daughter come and go.

Thanks to the special training he received a few days ago, he could tell from Pei's micro-expression just now that she was attracted by her sister and was thinking of returning to the Qin family.

Now when I hear Mrs. Pei's words, instead of being overjoyed that her long-awaited expectations have come true, I feel that she is arrogant and giving alms to her elder brother.

He suppressed the wanton violence in his heart and sped up the movements of his hands.

Seeing that her youngest son was silent, Mrs. Pei's heart sank, and she secretly warned herself: Don't act too hastily.

So, she didn't say any more sensational words and directly joined in the cleaning.

Qin Ruolan also stood up and did what she could.

It was rare for mother and child to work together, and the tense atmosphere gradually eased.

On the other side, Wu Shaohan took Jiang Xiaoliu out of the courtyard and came to the deserted field.

Under the dim moonlight, two figures stood side by side.

Wu Shaohan said bluntly: "That Su Ling has nothing to do with me."

"I know you definitely don't like her." Jiang Xiaoliu held back a lot of words and said them all at once, "But when she was with my uncle, she fell in love with you at first sight, and my uncle almost gave her to you. . Later, she chose to sell herself to the Qin family because of you. I get angry when I think that you were almost ruined by her. "

Wu Shaohan: ...Who was raped by whom?

"Brother Wu, even if you want a woman, you have to find a decent girl to marry. Don't be a romantic and make me look down on you." Jiang Xiaoliu turned sideways and looked straight at Wu Shaohan with his big eyes, a rare expression on his face. of seriousness.

Wu Shaohan chuckled when he heard this, "I will never marry in this life."

"How is it possible? Don't all men think about their wives and children?" Jiang Xiaoliu, who came from a folk background and has simple concepts, asked in surprise.

Wu Shaohan would not tell outsiders about the rules of the Shadow Guard Camp, so he just shook his head and smiled without saying a word.

Jiang Xiaoliu thought of a possibility and asked tentatively: "Then you like visiting brothels? Have you seen countless women?"

"It's nothing!" Wu Shaohan's face darkened and he said seriously, "The brothel is not a good place. Don't listen to those people's nonsense and yearn for the so-called gentle town."

"I have everything they have, so I don't care about it!" Jiang Xiaoliu muttered in a low voice, his voice unclear.

Wu Shaohan asked in confusion: "Is there anything you can do?"

"No, it's nothing. By the way, Brother Wu, since you're not flirtatious with women, come on, come on. How do you solve the problem?" Jiang Xiaoliu's eyes revealed deep curiosity, and his cheeks turned crimson with heat.

Wu Shaohan: "..."

Jiang Xiaoliu lowered his head and said in a voice as loud as a mosquito or a fly: "I can help you if you need it."

Wu Shaohan was shocked and looked intently at the young boy in front of him. His deep eyes were hidden in the shadow of the moonlight, flashing an elusive look.

Tenderness and shyness are intertwined on the boy's androgynous face, giving him a different kind of charm.

Like a budding flower, people can’t help but want to pick it.

Wu Shaohan moved his fingers on his side, and his voice was low and powerful, like a cold wind piercing people's hearts: "Do you know what you are talking about?"

"I...I..." Jiang Xiaoliu's face turned red with embarrassment and he was speechless.

Wu Shaohan sighed softly: "Xiao Liu, you are not yet a minor, don't think about those things that you have and don't have."

"But I'm already 16 years old!" Jiang Xiaoliu said unconvinced.

If counted as a woman, she would have reached the age of haircut ceremony long ago.

Wu Shaohan: "I can't talk about this until you are twenty and a year old."

Jiang Xiaoliu: ...it will take many years!

Pei had dinner at Qin's house that day.

Without any additional instructions, Zhao Yongfu and his wife treated Pei as a guest and delivered the meal directly to Qin Ruolan's room.

Because Qin Junxian stayed with his sick sister for a long time, he was afraid that he would bring the illness to others, so he stayed and ate with her.

Jiang Xiaoliu sat at the Shadow Guards' dinner table, regaining his original look and becoming full of energy.

After dinner, Ms. Pei wanted to stay with her daughter to keep vigil, but was told by Shadow Guard Shiwu: "You can come to visit the doctor, but you are not allowed to stay overnight or travel with her."

Pei proposed to see Qin Junyi, but Shiwu rejected it, and then reluctantly left with Jiang Xiaoliu.

At this time, Qin Junyi was placing the canopy bed that Su Yunwan had moved out of the space, hanging curtains and covering it with bedding.

Su Yunwan, who was sitting aside and waiting, looked at his busy figure, smiled and said: "Actually, you don't have to go to such trouble. I can enter the portable space to spend the night."

"What about me?" Qin Junyi looked sideways and asked in a quiet voice.

"It's up to you."

"You know very well that something might come to your door at any time."

Su Yunwan was happy: "Then let's sleep separately."

"How can this be done!" Qin Junyi's sensitive nerves were aroused again, and he put down his pillow and strode over.

There was a brief exclamation, and Yue'er in the sky seemed to be frightened, and seemed not to want to see an inappropriate scene for children, so she hid in the clouds.

It wasn't until the middle of the night that the moon showed its head again, illuminating the vast land.

Time passed quietly to Yin hour (three o'clock in the morning). In the darkness a mile away, several arrows pierced the sky and shot into the chest of the man guarding the wall.

People who had been lying in wait for a long time carried long ladders and put them on the wall to launch a sneak attack.

Su Yunwan was awakened by the sound of shouting and killing in the distance. She suddenly opened her eyes and tried to sit up, but was stopped by a strong arm and returned to a warm embrace.

"Wan Wan, lie down well." Qin Junyi took away the arm from under her neck, tucked in the quilt and sat up.

Shi Er's voice came from outside the door: "Master, it's the noise coming from the center of the village. I guess someone is robbing the water source."

Qin Junyi said while getting dressed: "Send someone to tell Zhong Wei and the Chu family to guard their residences, carriages and horses, and not to help each other."

"Yes." Shi Er went down to deliver the order.

Su Yunwan yawned, "I don't know how many batches of soldiers guarding the well have changed."

Qin Junyi paused with his clothed hands, recalling the situation of the defenders on the northwest border, "Now that the northwest is changing its defenses, I have written to my second uncle to hand over the Beidi information collected over the years to General Meng, hoping that he can hold on to the country. If he is attacked by Beidi If the opening is broken, the people will be plunged into war again."

"How many people's lives and deaths depend only on the king's thoughts." Su Yunwan said with a touch of compassion on his face.

Immediately, she calmed down her expression and warned Qin Junyi: "If you are not in your position, you will not seek to govern."

Even if there was really trouble in the northwest, with the current power, he would not be able to intervene.

Qin Junyi understood her meaning and solemnly said: "I understand."

The battle in the center of the village lasted for more than half an hour, and there was still no winner.

Seeing that his side was gradually losing ground, the boss of the garrison team went to the end of the village in person, traded money and well water, and asked Zhong Wei to send someone to help.
