Why less? "

After saying this, she looked at Shen Changhe as if asking for advice, and the latter waved his hand to signal her to continue.So Li Yunling also continued to speak in a calm manner: "General Sheng has high morals. If what I said just now is inappropriate, I hope you will forgive me. The polite words are over. Please listen to me and finish the business just now: I also I know that the national government's move is to use its strength to fight, and I also know that there are always Baiyue people on the southwestern border. Since I know everything, why do I agree with the general's risk of going to the western border for 'negotiations'? I Is it a fool? Of course not. Even if I am, Boss Pei Ge will not be a fool, right?"

"Pfft!" Some people couldn't help laughing.Shen Changhe coughed lightly, and deliberately said with a straight face: "Speak well."

"This subordinate knows his mistake, General."

Li Yunling cupped his hands at him, and then turned to the crowd: "Think about it, everyone, what will happen if the general doesn't go? Presumably all seniors know that the reason why Gaochang got into trouble with our Daqin this time is because of border disputes. The Hutes and Uighurs want to dedicate the disputed area between the two countries to Gaochang, and the current emperor of Gaochang, Farhad Cyrus, gladly accepts it, ignoring the interests of our Great Qin sovereignty!"

Some people questioned: "Everyone understands the truth, but in the end, it is also the responsibility of Shangjing, and it has nothing to do with our military government?"

"Yes, it didn't matter at first." Li Yunling lifted up a stack of documents on the desktop and shook them in his hands: "But thinking about it further, Emperor Gaochang's father, Kesul Cyrus, is the father of a general. Raised by one hand, and the general’s father is the most respected Zoroastrian leader of the Gaochang royal family, and the general himself is half of Tocharian blood. Outsiders will naturally think that the general has an inseparable relationship with Gaochang. Now that the two countries are at war, The general can't avoid it, isn't it just giving people an excuse?"

Another loudly shouted: "But that's better than paying for the entire military government!"

"Short-sighted."

Li Yunling was not polite to him, and slammed back word by word: "Do you think that if you can escape this time, you can escape for the rest of your life? What about the next time? Sooner or later, this matter must be resolved. It's never too late!"

"What's the matter? What do you want to solve?"

"Of course it is..." Li Yunling closed his eyes and said nonsense: "The general's military achievements!"

"Wrong, it's a question of blood."

Unexpectedly, the general himself actually said the truth that she didn't dare to say!

Shen Changhe patted her on the shoulder to signal her to sit down, and stood up himself: "All the elders here know about Shen's family background, there is no need to beat around the bush with some words."

"Since Shen took over the position of general, many people have been staring at me as a 'bastard'. Even if Gao Chang doesn't come to my door this time, some people will attack me and the Southwest Military Government sooner or later. So , I can't escape this time, and I don't want to escape."

He glanced at the people below for a week, and his expression softened again: "It is said that it is a peace negotiation, but in fact it cannot be negotiated at all. There are only two outcomes for this westward trip: one is to die, and the other is to come back after winning the battle. First, I will explain to the elders Son, I don't know what to do with this battle. Shen is young, has little seniority, and has never led a soldier, but since he has decided to fight this battle, the rear cannot be empty, so when I am not in Liangzhou, all government affairs are handled by Elder Pei Ge is in charge, and the military power is also deployed by Elder Pei Ge at any time, no one is allowed to disobey it. Sheng Qi!"

"The last general is here!" Sheng Qi immediately bullied himself and solemnly performed the military salute.Shen Changhe said: "General Sheng, the defense of Xipu and Jiaozhi will be entrusted to you."

Sheng Qi originally thought that he called his name to let him go to the western border together this time; but he never expected that Shen Changhe would send himself to the southwest border with a single sentence, so he was stunned for a moment before asking back with doubts. : "...General?"

"Among the generals, General Sheng knows the Baiyue border defense the most, so this arrangement is the most appropriate." Shen Changhe didn't give him a chance to defend himself, he pressed his hand to signal him to sit down, and said calmly: "That's it. "

A long time passed after the meeting ended, but Li Yunling didn't leave, but just sat there blankly in a daze.She held a list in her hand - on this list, her own name was also impressively listed.

At the same time, in the basement of a gambling house in Liangzhou City.

"Your name is not on the list." One person seemed to be a little anxious and said: "The little white face went crazy for some reason. He left me in the territory, but let you go west with the army. Could it be that he discovered our relationship?"

"So what if you find out?" The other person sneered and said, "If you cast yourself in the trap, it's time for him to die."

"But if you are by his side, in case..."

"It's nothing in case. You should stay on the southwest border and cooperate with King Dingbei's military operations when necessary."

"But my lord, how can you be sure that this little boy will definitely lose?"

"What's the matter, are you afraid that if he comes back alive, the matter of cooperating with Baiyue Li Yingwai will be revealed?" The man suddenly listened to him: "Don't worry, the masters from Dongpu have also come to 'exploring the way', he is considered to be a big one." You can't escape this disaster with your skills!"

After a pause, he said again: "Oh, do you still want to come back? This time, I will definitely let you... go and never return."

Sibling first meeting

Desert, yellow sand.

The border of the Western Regions, the ancient city of Jiashi.

About half a month passed, but Qin State was terribly quiet, as if the unhappiness between the two countries had never happened.

"My lord, all the trains and official roads from the southwest to here have been checked, and there is no trace of the army."

Shen Rufeng narrowed his long and narrow eyes, and said calmly: "Understood. Is my brother here?"

The herald was taken aback for a long time, but she didn't realize who she was talking about. In the end, Shen Rufeng explained first: "Southwest General Shen Changhe, has he arrived yet?"

Calling the general of the enemy country "brother" so unabashedly, the master of the country can't tell whether he is really stupid or pretending to be stupid.The herald thought for a while, but on the surface he was still very respectful: "Report to the national teacher, Shen Changhe arrived in Khotan City yesterday, but our people were lost."

"Does he have guards around him?"

"No." The herald hesitated and said, "If this person is tracked down again, do you want to arrest him?"

"Haven't you heard about the incident in Republic Square?" Shen Rufeng shook his head: "This man looks weak, but his skills are too weird. It is difficult for ordinary people to catch him without telling him, and he may even die."

Speechless for a while.

After lunch time, Shen Rufeng walked to the highest point of the observation tower and looked down through the veil.In fact, there was nothing wrong with her, but she suddenly wanted to look outside, as if responding to the most real call from the bottom of her heart——

She always felt that something interesting was going to happen next.

When Shen Rufeng looked down, there was a person who was building an arbor and looked up against the afternoon sun.The observation tower was not too high, and when the four eyes met, the man waved at her very kindly and naturally, his long black hair flying freely in the wind.As for the others, I can't see clearly.

"Report—!"

At the same time, a soldier came to report: "There is an unknown man who claims to be an old friend of the Master of the State Teacher, and comes from the Pharmacist Valley of Anxi City. He came to pay a visit to the State Teacher!"

Anxi City, Pharmacist Valley?

Shen Rufeng pondered for a long while before saying, "Bring him up."

Not long after, the man who was still downstairs greeting her came up.A head of jet black long hair draped over his shoulders and behind him like a cloud, and he was wearing the most popular Western-style simple clothes nowadays. Eyes, no matter how you look at them, they are awkward.

"You all go down."

Turning the left and right screens back, Shen Rufeng opened his mouth: "Brother, today is the first time that you and I meet, mind if I see your real appearance?"

The man also smiled, and tore off his disguise indifferently, revealing another face.It's strange to say that the layout of the facial features has not changed, but once the mask is taken off, it turns into a completely different appearance: the small black eyes immediately return to the original pair of deep and narrow peach blossom eyes, and even more so. What is strange is the deep green in these eyes that is too thick to melt.

——It clearly has the facial features of people from the Western Regions, but no matter how you look at it, they are all born and bred in the Central Plains Qin.With a clear complexion and clear eyes, a tall and tall figure, like a gentle and elegant scholar, but she has a feminine and coquettish appearance like a woman.Shen Rufeng lived in the western region for a long time, and he was surrounded by Tucharians with good looks. He didn't feel strange when he saw this person, but he just opened his eyes slightly: "I have thought about what it would be like to meet you countless times, but I have never thought about it." It is here, under such circumstances, that we meet as enemies."

She pointed to the table and chairs opposite: "Please sit down."

Shen Changhe didn't shy away from it, and sat down with his long legs spread apart: "Thank you, Master."

Shen Rufeng frowned slightly, and said: "Why is my brother so disrespectful? My parents are dead, we are close relatives, you can call me sister or Rufeng."

"It is rumored that the national teacher is a simple and straightforward person. Seeing him today, it is indeed not groundless."

Shen Changhe also said seriously: "But you dare to recognize my elder brother, but I can't recognize your younger sister."

"Brother!" Shen Rufeng's face darkened, and he changed his words immediately: "General, I thought you dared to come here alone because you wanted to recognize my relatives. If that's not the case, what is your intention?"

"For business." Shen Changhe leaned forward and moved his chair forward, and said in a low voice, "Come back, brother will take care of you."

Shen Rufeng choked for a moment: "General, do you call this official business?"

Shen Changhe said leisurely: "Why isn't persuading surrender a business?"

"..." Shen Rufeng said coldly: "The two countries have not yet gone to war, and peace talks are yet to come.
