The selection of the Pioneer Battalion, which lasted ten days in a row, was huge and full of participation, except for the after-dinner topic of which battalion had the most beautiful female soldiers and which battalion had the most warriors.

Shi Lingxin pulled Yang Nian out of the quilt early on, asking him to cheer up Ren Xiaoxiao.

Yang Nian was still struggling in his heart, he didn't think it would be a good thing to get close to Ren Xiaoxiao now, but he couldn't hold back Shi Lingxin.

Although Ren Xiaoxiao injured one hand and her strength is not as strong as those strong men, but fortunately she is an excellent horseman, and will advance into the vanguard thousand.

"Yang Nian!" Ren Xiaoxiao greeted Yang Nian happily, but Yang Nian felt that she was hypocritical.

"Xiaoxiao, you are so amazing!" Shi Ling said excitedly, ever since Yang Nian said that he would always praise girls, he had nothing else to say when he saw Ren Xiaoxiao, which made the other party get goosebumps for no reason.

Yang Nian bit her lip and wanted to laugh, but she held back, just looked at Ren Xiaoxiao and said, "I didn't expect you to be in such a good condition."

"Yeah!" Ren Xiaoxiao laughed, "I'm originally from the cavalry battalion. Riding a horse is no problem for me. I can beat them even if I lose my limbs."

"Stop talking nonsense, it's a taboo." Yang Nian laughed with her.

Because Kang Qing wanted to check the condition of the horses, she asked Li Sheng to be the adjudicator for her for a day. It was not until the evening that Li Sheng was free and had a chance to see Yang Nian.

Yang Nian is drafting a memorial to ask the imperial court to allocate food and grass, which is one of his responsibilities as an army supervisor.

"Let's add another [-] taels of silver. This year is a bumper year, and the court should not be stingy." Li Sheng stood behind Yang Nian and pointed out.

"It makes sense." Yang Nian added, "Are you finished?"

"Well," Li Sheng bent down, rested his chin on Yang Nian's shoulder, and stretched out his arms to wrap around Yang Nian, "I miss you so much."

Yang Nian's heart warmed up, she put down the pen, put her hand on Li Sheng's arm, "I think Xiaoxiao should put it down."

"I know you can handle it well." Li Sheng turned his head and leaned against Yang Nian, "No matter what you decide, I can accept it, because I won't leave you."

"But you have an engaged woman in the capital, and she happens to be my cousin."

Li Sheng let go of his hand, wanting to say something, but swallowed the words, "Nian'er..."

"Let me think about it." Yang Nian leaned weakly on the back of the chair, "You are tired too, go and rest."

Li Sheng sat outside the tent and danced his sword against the cold wind, trying to wake himself up.

Ren Xiaoxiao happened to pass by, and after a few mental struggles, she decided to take the initiative to talk to Li Sheng, "Brother Sheng, have you eaten yet?"

Li Sheng retracted his sword when he heard her voice, and shook his head at her.

"I still have some dry food left here," Ren Xiaoxiao beckoned, "At least to appease my appetite."

Li Sheng walked over and sat down with Ren Xiaoxiao.

"I was too impulsive that day, I'm really sorry." Ren Xiaoxiao apologized.

"It's nothing, I'm afraid you'll get hurt, so my tone is a bit heavier."

"As for Yang Nian, brother Cheng, please tell me about Yang Nian's childhood. I want to know more about him."

"you?"

"I didn't give up," Ren Xiaoxiao emphasized, "but I don't want to make it difficult for Yang Nian. I think he can like me, but crying every day will definitely make him feel annoying."

This reaction did not meet Li Sheng's expectations, after all, it is not so easy to let go of someone, but he has always regarded Ren Xiaoxiao as his younger sister, so he can't feel jealous towards her.

"Yang Nian, whom I met when I was five years old, is only this old." Li Sheng gestured with both hands in front of him, "At that time, I went to the Taifu's residence to pay homage to the teacher. Sister Feng'er is now The empress empress hugged him and hid outside the hall to watch me. My mother likes children, and she didn't blame them when she found them, and kept teasing Yang Nian. Yang Nian had never seen a stranger, so he burst into tears after a while Everyone was at a loss, when I kicked some jellybeans up my sleeve and stuffed them into his mouth, he stopped immediately, which was amazing."

"Did he love sweets back then?" Ren Xiaoxiao listened with gusto.

"That's right. Later, my mother felt sorry for Yang Nian who lost her mother when she was young, and her father was working as a servant in the palace, so she asked for permission to let me go to the Taifu's residence to study every day. Yang Nian was very intelligent since I was a child, and the Taifu taught me to read. , he also took a copy, squatting next to my chair, playing with bugs for a while, and then coming back to read the book. But just like that, his grades are actually better than mine..."

"After that, Yang Nian used to compete with me for food and drink because of his young age. Sister Feng'er would stop him at first, but after two years, she didn't care much. After getting angry, he asked me to cover him up again. The gentlemen didn’t dare to scold me because of my status. Some of them can catch the current ones, and if Yang Nian acts like a baby, the husband won’t punish him much. Everyone pampers me like this He is the one who cultivated his domineering temper. But I am better than him in martial arts, so he can only take advantage of it."

"The two of us are like this, eating and drinking together, playing together, peeking at sister Feng'er and my imperial brother's rendezvous together, and growing up in a daze. Until I joined the army..."

"I know what's going on next," Ren Xiaoxiao raised the corners of her lips, "After doing the math, I really missed a lot of Yang Nian's past."

"Yang Nian cares about you very much." Li Sheng said again, "I don't want you to hate him."

"How could I not understand," Ren Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, "But I can't control it, brother Cheng, you must understand, this kind of uncontrollable desire to be nice to a person is unconditional and unreasonable, just to make him happy Mood."

Li Sheng didn't answer.

"I know, it must be naive to look at me with your affection, but I don't want to give up, I," Ren Xiaoxiao paused, "I can give Yang a future, I can give him a marriage, and even, I can even have him His son." Ren Xiaoxiao blushed when she said this, but her eyes remained firm.

Li Sheng raised his head, looked at the night sky, and said after a long time, "You can indeed give him something that I can't."

"Brother Cheng?" Ren Xiaoxiao was surprised.

"So if he chooses you, I won't have any complaints." Li Sheng stood up after speaking, "I don't want to possess him, I just want his best from the beginning to the end."

"..."

"It's too cold, you don't wear much, go back to your tent."

Lying on the bed, Yang Nian tossed and turned. He untied the purse on the bedside, took out the ivory pendant with his name engraved on it, wrapped it in the palm of his hand, as if he could feel his master's breath.

The night was so long, of course he wasn't the only one who couldn't sleep.

Shi Ling kept thinking about what he had just heard Li Sheng and Ren Xiaoxiao say, and the more he thought about it, the more confused he became.He regarded Yang Nian as his brother, and confessed all his thoughts about Ren Xiaoxiao, and hoped that Yang Nian could help him, but unexpectedly, Yang Nian was his biggest obstacle.
