It was extremely difficult for Shen Menghan to sleep peacefully at night, but now she was worried about Xie Chenyan's whereabouts, and it was even more difficult to fall asleep all night.

Xie Chenyan is not here, there is no ice tray laid out for him in the room, and the cool tent has been removed, it should be much more comfortable for Shen Menghan.

but……

The anxiety in the heart is better than the torment in the body.

The sound of watches came from a distance from the corner of the street, Shen Menghan listened intently to the beating of watchtowers, his hearing was weak, and the window on this side was facing the river, and it was far away from the streets, it took him a long time to hear that it was the fourth watch.

He got up to pour tea, but when he heard a very thin "squeak" beside him, he took the teapot out of his hand.

A warm hand took the tea cup dense with purple sand from his hand, and the boy's clear voice was clouded: "The tea is cold."

Shen Menghan let out a "hmm".

The moonlight was brought in by him from the window with the warm summer wind, and the candlelight that had been burning all night danced along with it, trying to make it brighter.

Shen Menghan looked at Xie Chenyan by the faint candlelight and moonlight.

The clean coat was already dirty when I went out, but it was taken care of by the owner as best I could. Although it was not very clean, it was still tidy. The hair was combed by myself, and it was a bit messy. There were more restless hair, with strands here and there The strands were curled up, as if he was calling Qu Ming for his master.

Xie Chenyan warmed the tea with internal force and handed it to Shen Menghan.

Shen Menghan didn't pick it up, stretched out his fingers to remove his hair, Xie Chenyan looked up at him in a daze, and subconsciously blurted out: "It's not me."

Shen Menghan bent down slightly, nodded to him affirmatively and said: "It's not you."

He took the comb, pressed Xie Chenyan on the scorpion, twisted some hair oil, and combed the restless strands of hair for him.

In the lingering night, although the hair in Shen Menghan's hands was black and soft, it was as stubborn as its master.

Xie Chenyan said aggrievedly: "A group of them gathered outside, when they saw me and Ah Wu coming out of the yard, they said that we killed Xiang Congmo."

He is like a child who has been wronged outside, and he can't help complaining to his family when he returns home after all the hardships.

Shen Menghan was silent, and Ren Xiechen told him what happened that day like beans: "Ah Wu and I smelled the smell of blood from a distance, turned over the courtyard wall, and saw Grandpa Xiang lying on the ground, His eyes were staring like copper bells, and there was a bloody hole in his chest, spurting blood!"

When he talks about things, he can't help but exaggerate by a point or two, making him look like a child.

The quiet night was made much more lively by his talk.

Shen Menghan still caught the blind spot from his words, and patiently said: "Apart from Grandpa Xiang, is there anything unusual nearby? Like a murder weapon?"

Xie Chenyan was sitting on the twig, his hair was grabbed by others and he still refused to be honest, twisting back and forth, Shen Menghan patted the top of his head and said: "Don't move around, be careful not to scratch you."

Xie Chenyan thought about it carefully after hearing the words, then shook his head and said: "I didn't see the murder weapon. Ah Wu and I just took a look and heard someone approaching outside. We shook hands with them when we went out, and didn't check carefully."

Shaking his head vigorously, his hair was pulled, and Xie Chenyan let out a cry of pain.

Shen Menghan said helplessly: "I told you not to move."

After suffering the pain, Xie Chenyan finally became honest, sat there in a well-behaved manner and said: "As soon as we stepped on the osmanthus tree, we saw the dead body, staring straight at us, Ah Wu was so frightened that he almost fell from the tree !"

Shen Menghan ignored his exaggerated description, and asked again: "Xiao Yan, do you still remember the spider silk and silver thread we met in Changruling?"

He was hesitant when he asked this sentence, he really didn't have confidence in Xie Chenyan's memory.

Xie Chenyan said naturally: "Of course I remember."

Shen Menghan breathed a sigh of relief: "Then you were at the scene, have you seen anything similar? When you left, who were chasing you?"

"It's those people from the Qifeng Sect." Xie Chenyan affirmed: "I didn't see it, I didn't."

Xie Chenyan doesn't even remember Xiaoping, so how can he believe what he said.

Shen Menghan couldn't help but hesitate for a moment.

This meal fell into Xie Chenyan's eyes, Xie Chenyan couldn't believe it: "Brother Menghan, you don't believe me."

Xie Chenyan is dull most of the time, only sensitive to the attitude of others.

A young and sincere person cannot tolerate a speck of dust.

Shen Menghan said softly: "Is it true that you haven't met anyone suspicious?"

He looked at Shen Menghan cautiously and said: "I don't know, and I didn't kill anyone, so I can't do it. I beat someone who refused to let me and Ah Wu go with a few nonsense words."

Shen Menghan lowered his eyes, and used Tian Luo Yin three times in a row, fearing that the opponent had limited number of people available, if so, he might give up halfway if he failed to catch up with Xie Chenyan.

"Forget it if you can't remember it." Shen Menghan sighed softly and asked, "By the way, where is Ah Wu?"

Xie Chenyan proudly said: "He was injured, I sent him to the hospital."

Shen Menghan was startled: "How did you send him to the hospital?"

Black-clothed Habayashi searched the entire Jinling City, and it was absolutely impossible to find such an obvious place as the medical hall.

"I threw him in front of the carriage, and it was the owner of the carriage who sent him to the hospital." Xie Chenyan said mysteriously: "I even asked Ah Wu to pay the money himself, and I didn't blackmail anyone."

Shen Menghan couldn't laugh or cry: "This is too dangerous."

Xie Chenyan said: "No! I picked a horse that looked smart, and I threw it leisurely. If the horse really went crazy, I would have time to save him."

Shen Menghan asked warmly, "Why didn't you come back and look for me first?"

Xie Chenyan hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "Will you not cause trouble?"

Shen Menghan tied his hair with a headband: "If you don't come back, you will really cause me trouble."

His heart was a little cold, Xie Chenyan didn't believe him.

I don't believe that he will take care of everything for him, and I don't believe that he will stand behind him for no reason.

Xie Chenyan, who has always been unwilling to think too much, thought a lot and felt that he would cause trouble for him.

Even when he came back to look for him, it was in the dead of night. If he showed any hesitation, he might rush out and go for his own life.

He thought they were honest enough, and he also thought that he would be Xie Chenyan's family, relatives and backing.

After all, Xie Chenyan took care of their garden so meticulously.

It turns out that the little fool can also act.

Xie Chenyan was strangled by him and hissed.

Shen Menghan relaxed for him and said: "Which clinic is Ah Wu in? Ask Ah Jia to pick him up tomorrow."

After saying that, he let go, looked at her for a while and then said disgustedly: "Hurry up and change your clothes, get a good sleep, maybe you have to go out for a long trip tomorrow."

Xie Chenyan talked a lot just now, but fell asleep quickly when his head touched the pillow, obviously he hadn't had a good rest in the past few days.

Shen Menghan closed the window, blew out the candlesticks, his eyes were no longer so clear, when he was on the couch, his hand accidentally touched the warmth of a palm, Xie Chenyan rubbed against his palm with attachment, and his moist breath let out a sigh of relief. In Shen Menghan's hands.

He was stunned for a moment, but he was not willing to take it back. He held it for a long time until his arms became sore, and then he slowly lay down on the couch.

As soon as he lay down, Xie Chenyan leaned closer to his side, with his head under his arm, a snow-white but fleshy arm across his waist, intimate.

That arm looked soft, but when holding the sword in the daytime, the veins burst out, and the lines were thin.Shen Menghan couldn't help it, stretched out his hand and pinched it—it was soft.

Xie Chenyan frowned in the dream, but skillfully sent himself to Shen Menghan.

It is really rare for martial arts practitioners to be so defenseless.

I don't know why he was so bewitched that he regarded Shen Menghan, who was powerless, as the safest place in the world where he could relax completely and not need to be on guard.

Not afraid, but not trusting.

When Xie Chenyan woke up, the sun was about to set, the window was open, and the summer river wind ran over the fine dust of the setting sun, shaking with joy.

He sat on the couch in a daze, forgetting Jinxi and Xixi for a moment.

Shen Menghan twisted the handkerchief in the water to wipe his face, and said softly, "Are you hungry? The snacks prepared by Sister Xinzi have been warmed up three or four times."

Xie Chenyan grabbed his hand and said: "I want to eat the cold cake made by sister Xinzi, the sesame oil and vegetable buns from the teahouse next door, and the Xueyan white fungus soup."

The little stomach also growled along with him at the right time, and Xie Chenyan's eye circles were red: "I haven't eaten anything delicious for several days."

How could Shen Menghan not be satisfied with him, took his hand and wiped his fingers, and said in a warm voice: "Go take a shower, and you will have everything when you come back."

Originally, he wanted to go on the road with the person from Qifengzong, but Xie Chenyan fell asleep for a whole day, Shen Menghan was not willing to wake him up, so Xixuan and Miao Zhiguang followed first.

Now that you have missed it, there is no need to worry.

Xie Chen came back with his wooden clogs, leaving a string of wet footprints on the ground with "slaps and slaps", his hair was tied up in disorder, and water was still dripping.

Shen Menghan took a cloth towel, untied his hair and wiped it for him, Xie Chenyan reached out and took a steamed bun, remembering the dining etiquette at the beginning, he ate it bite by bite, and after a while, he started to gobble it up.

He looked pitiful, Shen Menghan didn't reprimand him, just poured water and said softly: "Don't choke."

Xinzi couldn't help laughing and said: "Those who don't know, think that the young master is Xiaoxie's bodyguard."

Xie Chenyan raised his eyes in a daze, Shen Menghan patted him and said: "Don't worry, Sister Xinzi is just joking with you."

One day later, Shen Menghan couldn't leave Beijing.

On the second day, the Southwest battle report was presented to the imperial court. A fire broke out in Beizhaoshu Dongcang, insisting that Nanyan was responsible for the surprise attack on Xuanxiao Camp on Jingxiang Road.

In disregard of the ban, Shen Zhang went straight to the Zichen Palace in his military uniform in the early dynasty, putting on his armor and asking for a fight.

Emperor Yan scolded him for a while, and agreed to his request, and allocated [-] forbidden troops to return to Jingxiang Road with King Su.

King Su swore to be his teacher at Bailutai, and all the clans and generals went to see him off. Shen Menghan was in the city and was the actual leader of the black-clothed Yulin, so he had no choice but to accept his fate and go.

The banners on the egret stage block out the sun, the battle armor is hunting, the military looks majestic and solemn, and King Su rides on the golden armored horse.

Even the fifth prince, who had been ill for a long time, was wearing a soft armored military robe, and Shen Menghan was still wearing a loose robe. When Shi Shiran came here, all the troops looked sideways.

Shen Menghan was also taken aback for a moment. When he was in Beizhao, although he never missed the grand ceremonies, he never came to the barracks, and the soldiers of the army would take a detour when they saw him. Interact with Nanyan Proton.

But now, under the indifference of Emperor Yan, he lives in a brothel every day, and there is no decent mansion in the city. Zhou Qian is not around, and there is no one around him to take care of these things for him.

He came from a humble family background and had not been granted a patent, so he thought that he should wear a corset at least to the place where he was sworn in as a teacher.

The Beizhao royal family has Hu people's blood, but Nanyan's etiquette is strict. He has been in Beizhao for a long time, and he has unconsciously contaminated some of the free behaviors brought by the Beizhao people from the grassland.

In the eyes of others, it seems that he deliberately made trouble with King Su.

At the moment of the battle with Bei Zhao, he, the proton who has been hostile to Bei Zhao for several years, should avoid suspicion, and the more low-key he is today, the better.

Unexpectedly, the others were all dressed in black and red, but the armor was shining brightly, and he was the only one with snow clothes and slow clothes.

As soon as he entered the arena, the Ninth Prince reacted the most. He threw the bow in his hand, fearing that others would not hear him, and said loudly: "What!"

King Su on the war horse snorted coldly, shifted the bridle, and stopped looking at him.

Shen Menghan rubbed his nose, it was impossible to change clothes now, so he had to find a shadow that was not so eye-catching and stood there, Xie Chenyan quickly took a stick, and called someone to raise a fan over.

Shen Menghan waved to him, signaling him to stand aside.

The five princes were all standing, and he didn't want to attract too much attention without the permission of the emperor.

Xie Chenyan suppressed his expression, stood aside with solemn eyes and sleeves folded, wearing a corseted sandalwood robe made of precious ice silk in summer, with neat lapels and a sword at his waist, he looked more serious than Shen Menghan Go up three points.

Emperor Yan personally came to send King Su to the expedition, and after drinking, it was the ceremony of bestowing a bow.

The bow bestowed by the imperial court was matched with the Ming Di, and King Su used the bow bestowed by the imperial court to sing three more times, and the army was ready to move.

Holding the bow, Shen Zhang first shot two arrows in a regular manner, but the third arrow suddenly turned his horse's head and aimed at Shen Menghan from afar.
