Golden Stage

The two of them were flirting and making noises, tired and sloppy. After taking a bath for more than half an hour, Fu Shen was deliberately messed up by Yan Xiaohan, and got thrown all over the water. He couldn't help it, so he changed his clothes.After packing up and going out, I met Yu Qiaoting who was passing by here again in the courtyard.

General Yu's gaze swiveled between the two of them, and he was keenly aware of something immediately, and said with a smirk, "Congratulations, General!"

Fu Shen asked inexplicably, "What is there to be happy about?"

Yu Qiaoting laughed and said, "Little Bie is better than a newlywed, isn't that worth congratulating?"

Fu Shen was wronged by one head, and was about to retort, when Yan Xiaohan suddenly stepped forward from behind, and said first: "General Yu was joking. Now that the war is not settled, and the Central Plains has not yet been settled, as a minister, he should devote all his energy to serving the country." Share your worries. How can you indulge in your children's private affairs and forget your duty of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism?"

Yu Qiaoting couldn't believe that these loud words came from Yan Xiaohan's mouth. He looked at Fu Shen confusedly, but saw that the general was looking at Yan Xiaohan with a natural and peaceful expression. The tenderness in the corners of the eyes and brows is almost dripping out.

Yu Qiaoting: "..."

The two of you have been locked in the house behind your back for so long, are you discussing how to clean up the old mountains and rivers, and save the people from the fire and water?What a disrespect.

Not only did Yan Xiaohan open his eyes and speak nonsense, but after he finished speaking, he gave Yu Qiaoting a suspicious look full of "Are you a beast?", without blushing or heartbeat, he walked away in a dignified manner.

Yu Qiaoting was inexplicably three inches shorter in his eyes. Fu Shen didn't think it was a big deal when he watched the excitement, and gloated: "I owe you, did you get scratched? It should be."

As expected of being the leading traitor in the Yuantai and Changzhi dynasties, it has only been less than half a day, and the relationship between Fu Shen and his comrades is in jeopardy!

In the evening, Yan Xiaohan had dinner with several generals of the Northern Yan Army, and everyone tacitly ignored his status as the military supervisor of the new dynasty and only regarded him as Fu Shen's family member, so it was rare to have a harmonious meal.After eating this simple welcome banquet, Fu Shen went to inspect the campsite according to his usual habit.This matter was originally supposed to be accompanied by a lieutenant general, but everyone in the Northern Yan Army seemed to have practiced closed-mouthed meditation tonight.Seeing this, Yan Xiaohan knew that everyone was giving him face, so he consciously agreed: "If that's the case, let me go with the general."

Fu Shen said with a half smile but not a smile: "Just be good."

Yu Qiaoting had accompanied Yan Xiaohan and Fu Shen on the golden stage at their wedding, so naturally he was well aware of their affairs.Even if the generals didn't know it before, after hearing what happened by the river today, they should understand that the two of them were acting for real, and they had mutual affection.Fu Shen didn't bluntly point it out, but his action of bringing Yan Xiaohan back to the Northern Yan army's garrison was tantamount to tacitly acquiescing that Yan Xiaohan was on their side.

In this way, no one will not be ignorant and insist on running between the two at this time. The Beiyan army, with unprecedented unity, has made room for the fateful mandarin ducks who have been separated for a long time. close time.

Outside Tangli Town is a majestic high mountain, a torrential river, the night wind brings a light fragrance of flowers, the star river is shining above the head, two horses ride side by side, and under the vast sky, all the separations and pains of lovesickness in the past year are like a river flowing In the distance, only the heart of the rock that has not been moved after the big waves wash away the sand is left.

Fu Shen didn't have much to talk about in Ganzhou, it was nothing more than stockpiling food and training troops, while 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 new parties between the north and the south.Mentioning these matters would inevitably involve the several grievances the Empress suffered in the harem. Yan Xiaohan thought over and over again, and felt that he still couldn't hide it from him, so he told the truth in full.

Fu Ling's marriage into Prince Qi's Mansion was the marriage that Fu Shen had chosen for her back then.He originally thought that King Qi had a gentle personality and treated people with sincerity, which would be a happy marriage. Unexpectedly, the world is impermanent. Once the country is ruined and the family is destroyed, now it seems that it is tantamount to pushing his sister into the fire pit with his own hands.

He promised Fu Ling, but he didn't do anything.

Fu Shen's face was expressionless, his side face was like a cold 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 speak to comfort him, but Fu Shen spoke out one step ahead of him, His words of consolation stuck in his stomach: "Thank you for taking care of her."

"Even if my real brother is here, I may not be as thoughtful and meticulous as you." He smiled self-deprecatingly, "What's more, I would not risk being exiled to offend the leader of the Jiangnan Party for her sake."

Although Yan Xiaohan didn't go into details, it's not that Fu Shen hasn't been through the muddy waters of the officialdom, and when he contacted the Xue family, he certainly guessed that what Yan Xiaohan said by "asking for a military supervisory job from the emperor" was for the sake of leniency. His heart made up excuses.Xue Shenggui was one of the six ministers, the minister of the Yanying Hall, and his daughter with the best future died in his hands for no reason. Even if the emperor favored Yan Xiaohan, he still had to be fair in face.

He didn't ask himself 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 were crushed down like a monstrous 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 felt like a gust of wind passing through, the earth was shaking and the mountains were shaking, and he became suspicious like never before.

Is he really on the right track?

He was a brother in vain, he didn't give any support to his sister who was alone in the palace, and instead she became a thorn in everyone's eyes because she was tired; he was a husband in vain, he chose to go north when the war broke out, leaving Yan Xiaohan alone in Jiangnan Supporting the overall situation alone, Yan Xiaohan had to clean up the mess for him in the end, so that he was forced to leave the center and come to the dangerous front line...

Beiyan Army takes protecting his family and country as his bounden duty, but his family is about to be destroyed by himself.

Yan Xiaohan reined in his horse, stopped in place, seemed a little displeased, and said indifferently: "It's been so long since I've seen you, you've got a quarrel with me."

He didn't call Fu Shen by name, and he didn't playfully add "Hou Ye" or "General", so this sentence sounded particularly harsh and cold.Fu Shen's heart tightened suddenly, and he wondered in surprise, "What does he mean? Angry?"

Once a person gets into a dead end, his judgment will fall like a cliff, and his reason will never return.Normally, Fu Shen would have countless words and ways to respond to Yan Xiaohan's words, and he could even skip superficial entanglements and hear what Yan Xiaohan meant behind his words.

But now he can only force himself to suppress his flustered heartbeat, pretending to be calm and said: "No, what are you thinking about?"

Even though it was covered by the darkness of night, Yan Xiaohan still caught his unnatural stiffness.He sighed silently, couldn't hold back even that bluff indifference, and repeatedly told himself in his heart that what he was facing was a fire stick that couldn't get into oil and salt, so he couldn't be in a hurry, he had to break apart the truth and smash it into pieces Yes, tell him slowly.

He got off his horse, walked to the other side, and stretched out his hand to Fu Shen: "Come on, get off."

Fu Shen didn't want him to pick it up, so he subconsciously jumped up.Reluctantly, Yan Xiaohan walked over and took his hand, found a large smooth rock near the river, and sat down with him.

There are limited flat places on the stone, so two big men sitting side by side will inevitably squeeze each other. Fu Shen put his arm around Yan Xiaohan to prevent him from falling, and said with a frown, "It's cool at night, just sit for a while and you'll be fine. Don't catch a cold." .”

Yan Xiao said coldly: "Jing Yuan, in your heart, do you think that except yourself, who is an indomitable hero, everyone else is a three-year-old child?"

"..." Fu Shen coughed dryly, and said in embarrassment, "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 vying to be a father and mother for them, to shelter them from the wind and rain?"

Fu Shen unconsciously tightened his arms around him.

"General, you have to admit that you don't have superhuman powers, nor are you a god. There are always things you can't take care of." Yan Xiaohan gently rubbed his temples with his fingers, "If everything in the world could be done by you alone, Cheng, what do you want us idiots to do?"

Fu Shen: "I..."

"No one owes anyone in this world," 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 because of this, we will cry and wait for you to save us if anything happens. "

Fu Shen understood what he meant, and at the same time, he was stunned by his description, and became really dumbfounded: "Be reasonable, just be reasonable, don't be coquettish."

Yan Xiaohan stretched out his arms and rolled him into his arms, and softly whispered against his temples: "The empress is persevering, she has nothing to say when she is wronged, it is indeed your fault for not taking good care of her; and I Leaving the south of the Yangtze River and coming here, although it is because of the east wind that is not in harmony with Xue Sheng, don't you understand what the real reason is?"

The tips of Fu Shen's ears trembled from the warm breath, and the tremor followed the blood to the deepest and softest part of his heart.

"No one forced me, I came to find you myself, I have been waiting for seven years, and I don't want to wait for anyone's favor anymore." Yan Xiaohan lowered his head and kissed his temples, "Jingyuan, I am Your husband is not your drag, so don't have any trouble with me - next time, I will really be angry."

There is only endless silence in the night.

"But...Menggui," after a long silence, Fu Shen took his hand, pressed it on his heart, and said in a harsh voice, "I can't even take care of my own family. How can I pretend to be 'loyalty'? Talking about reorganizing the country and defending the country? Isn’t that all a joke?”

Yan Xiaohan closed his eyes in embarrassment, took a deep breath, and thought that this matter would be difficult to pass tonight.

Fu Shen's sense of indebtedness is too heavy, and since he went north, this shadow has always been entrenched in his heart.The one-year separation is like poison, and then encountering the queen's medicine introduction, under the influence of various methods, finally boiled this guilt into a demon.

"Okay, if you have to make yourself unhappy, I will help you."

Yan Xiaohan said bluntly: "You, the elder brother, did not take good care of your younger sister, you should be punished; I was two years older than you, and you once called me 'brother' yourself. I have been busy building a new dynasty this past year, and I never went north to look for you .In that case, should I be punished as an older brother?"
