You remember son

Shen Liangyuan was caught off guard and fell forward, and finally staggered a few steps, but insisted on not lying on the ground, and he fought back immediately after barely standing still.

Just when he turned around and was unprepared, Hua Yan's move had already struck directly.

Shen Liangyuan quickly stretched out the branch in his hand to resist, but there was a "click", and the branch in his hand was already two knots.

Then Hua Yan swept across, and the two branches in his hand were picked up into the sky and fell on the grass without making a sound.

Holding the branch in his hand, Hua Yan pointed at him condescendingly, and his tone was full of cold sarcasm: "I lost. Can a soldier who lost all his weapons become a general?"

Shen Liangyuan refused to accept it: "It's just that my branches are not strong enough."

"Are you saying that your failure was just an accident?"

Hua Yan sneered.After shaking the branch in his hand, he casually threw it in front of Shen Liangyuan.

Hua Yan looked at him sideways, and taught him a lesson: "But the battlefield is the place with the most accidents, food and supplies, military strength, climate, geography, sudden changes, God's will, man-made... Mr. Shen, you need the right time, place and people. And, let’s talk about why God favors you? You want to be a general, so you know that the battle will not be safe?! You will know that your branches are not strong until you lose, but you have thought first that the branches on the ground are dry and brittle. Only the tree The fresh branches on the tree are more resilient and can withstand tempering and struggle."

After hearing this, Shen Liangyuan didn't refute his words, but just looked at him motionless, with a depressed expression on his face.

Hua Yan glanced at him again, and said without hesitation: "You are just a dry and brittle branch now, and it is not enough to become this branch in my hand. You want to support the loyalty of the Shen family, want to If you want to fight for our Zhao country, your ability is far from enough."

Shen Liangyuan stood there in a daze.I have never been so enlightened by anyone, I have never been stabbed with such needle-like words, it is like being caught off guard on the spine and heart, piercing the bone.

I have been working hard since I was a child, trying to prove my ability.But it turned out that he was so vulnerable in front of him, and so useless in his eyes.It turns out that it is not enough for me to become a soldier of Zhao State, and it is not enough to go to battle to kill the enemy.

Shen Liangyuan didn't refute, he bent down and picked up the branch that Hua Yan threw at his feet. Although it was soft, it was full of toughness.Although it doesn't look too hard, it is not so easy to break it!

"I want to be that resilient branch in your hand." Shen Liangyuan held the branch in his hand and raised his head to look at Hua Yan.

"What?" Hua Yan glanced at him with his hands behind his back.

"I will prove myself, I will not lose face to my Shen family, fight and kill the enemy, and regain the lost ground." Shen Liangyuan's eyes were extremely firm, without the loneliness and discouragement after failure, on the contrary, he was more tenacious.

He plopped down on his knees in front of Hua Yan: "Shen Liangyuan pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! I will become a weapon in your hands against other countries, and I will help you recover the country, protect the country of Zhao, and retreat thousands of miles away from the enemy!"

Hua Yan finally smiled.As expected, father was right, there is no weak person in the Shen family.

"Is that what you said?"

"Shen Liangyuan swears to the sky."

The little boy is only 12 years old, but his expression is firm and resolute, and there is a star-like light in his eyes, shining brightly and unwilling to fade away.

"Okay!" Hua Yan nodded, picked up the sword from the ground, and handed it to Shen Liangyuan: "The prince's sword is always with me. I will give it to you today, and you can use it to kill the enemy in the future."

Shen Liangyuan looked up at the sword Hua Yan handed over, a little surprised, then lowered his head: "...I'm used to using guns."

Hua Yan said with a smile: "Okay! If you fulfill your promise in the future, then the prince will give you a silver gun to kill the enemy and break the formation. When you return from the battle, we will welcome you a hundred miles away. I promise you unlimited glory and glory, and you will be rewarded for your merits! Whatever you ask for, you will be rewarded." What for you?"

-

A few days later, after noon.

A Weng knocked on the door and entered Shen Liangyuan's study: "Master, the old lady is looking for you over there."

Shen Liangyuan rushed to the backyard.

Sitting on the couch, Shen's mother looked anxious and uneasy, and when Shen Liangyuan came in, she immediately greeted her.

Shen's mother said: "Liangyuan, the princess is sick. She has been sick for a long time. Go and have a look after you eat later."

"Why is Jin An sick?"

"I just found out that the princess loves to eat lychees. In the morning, I sent someone to send some to her. After the servants left and came back, I found out that the princess has been ill for a long time, and the lychees I sent were also said to have no appetite. , was brought back, probably seriously ill."

Shen Liangyuan sent his servants to bring lychees all the way to Prince Xun's mansion.

At that time, see the Empress Dowager is also there.The old man has always loved Jin'an, and he is also concerned about it, so he came out of the palace to visit him.

Jin An was originally lying on the couch, but when he saw Shen Liangyuan coming, he seemed to regain some energy, and called softly: "Brother Liangyuan is here." It turned out that he lost the vivacity of the past.

When the Empress Dowager saw Jin An's description, she felt pain in her heart.

Shen Liangyuan nodded to Jin An, and then went to pay respects: "Liangyuan has seen the Empress Dowager."

"Liang Yuan, why are you here at this time?" The Empress Dowager just sat with her back to Shen Liangyuan, her tone was somewhat reproachful, it was more or less because Jin An was suffering now and Shen Liangyuan came late.

Shen Liangyuan was also a little guilty, and did not defend himself, saying: "It was my negligence, I didn't know that Jin An was ill. Please punish the Empress Dowager."

"Why did the Ai family punish you? It's just that I feel sorry for Jin'an."

Shen Liangyuan asked: "I don't know why the princess fell ill, but is it getting better now?"

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager turned to Shen Liangyuan, looked at him angrily for a while, and pointed to the imperial physician at the side: "Princess Feng, find out the pulse for the princess, and tell Liangyuan to listen."

The old doctor came over immediately, bowed his body and said: "The princess's pulse condition is slippery, his breath is unstable, and his heart fire is burning, his internal energy is not smooth and stagnant, his five internal disorders are stagnant, and he is stagnant..."

The Empress Dowager was also impatient: "Speak simply."

"The princess's illness is caused by the heart, the heart is full of depression, and the medicine is difficult to cure."

The Empress Dowager said to Shen Liangyuan with a heavier tone: "Did you hear that?"

The meaning of the words is already infinitely clear, Jin An's cause is himself.Maybe it was because I confessed to her that day and rejected her, maybe I made her give up, and her feelings had nowhere to go, so she came back depressed and became ill.

The reasons for the refusal that day were all fabricated, but seriously, Jin An was deceived by selfishness for a while, and she was also naive, and she was actually deceived into depression.Shen Liangyuan couldn't help feeling ashamed and guilty.

But Shen Liangyuan didn't intend to clarify, he must want to break her mind, and explaining is unnecessary after all.

The Empress Dowager was very angry, and she was very determined to let the two of them mend well, then she said that she would return to the palace, and she led a group of palace people and left.

There were only two people left in the room at this time.

After confessing his love last time, when facing Shen Liangyuan alone, Jin An became a little shy and reserved.Shen Liangyuan now has nothing but conscience.

He asked someone to put some lychees on a jade plate and bring them in: "Jin'an, I brought some lychees. Do you want some?"

Jin An originally had no appetite, but seeing that it was given by Shen Liangyuan, he nodded and wanted to eat.

As soon as he ate one, bean-sized tears fell down, and he whimpered and refused to make a sound.

Shen Liangyuan asked: "What's the matter? Are you sick?"

Jin An nodded: "Well, the illness is really uncomfortable...Because brother Liangyuan doesn't like Jin An, this illness is really uncomfortable."

Shen Liangyuan smiled bitterly: "Jin An, you are still young, and you will meet someone you like in the future. You don't have to suffer yourself so much."

Jin An cried and shook his head, but stopped talking.

Shen Liangyuan didn't know how to comfort the commentator, and after sitting for a while, he could only get up: "Jin An, listen to the doctor and take a good rest. I'll come see you tomorrow."

Jin An raised his head and asked, "Brother Liang Yuan doesn't need to go to war anymore?"

"No need." Shen Liangyuan patted her head: "I have time to come and see you now, you are obedient and recuperate well, tell me what you want to eat, and I will bring it to you."

He turned to leave, but Jin An grabbed his hand again.She looked at him, hesitated, and took something out from under the pillow.

"My mother said that I should look like a daughter's family. If I don't know anything, others won't really like it..." Jin An handed the purse in his hand to Shen Liangyuan, and lowered his head: "This I learned how to embroider before, can brother Liangyuan accept it?"

This purse was embroidered a few months ago, and it was embroidered with double lotus flowers, which had a clear meaning, but now it is a bit inappropriate.

At that time, she didn't know that Shen Liangyuan had someone in her heart, but she just wanted to wait for Shen Liangyuan to return from the battlefield, so she rushed to embroider this purse day and night.

Shen Liangyuan also hesitated: "Jin An, I'm not your beloved."

"I know...Brother Liangyuan has someone he likes, I know it." When Jin An said, tears fell on the quilt with his head down, thinking that it would be inappropriate to send this now, he took it back with trembling hands.

Shen Liangyuan felt sorry, seeing Jin An's outstretched wrist was a little slender, trembling with nervousness and embarrassment.In just a few days, this girl has lost a lot of weight.

I have always regarded her as my younger sister, but now that I let her fall like this, I don't blame the empress dowager for being distressed and angry.

When the purse was about to be taken back by Jin An, Shen Liangyuan raised his hand and intercepted it, sighing: "Jin An, I owe you. The purse... I took it, it's not for any reason, I just thought about your thoughts. I hope you In the future, you will meet someone who truly loves you."
