Chiwuxing

Chapter [-] and [-]-Hateful Fu Chen's courage is revealed, and worries abound Jia Yun is upright

On the hexagonal red sandalwood table, there are all kinds of delicacies, such as anchovy fin, pickled water mustard skin, candied fresh peaches, Ruyi rolls, golden canary bird and all kinds of snacks. The colors are bright and dazzling.Behind the heavy bead curtains on the side of the room, there is a slight figure of a woman, holding a pipa in her arms, and the ancient rhyme is pouring down slowly, like the gentle and gentle smoke, and the dark fragrance is floating.

Two or three young court ladies in pink sat on both sides, and two eunuchs served dishes at the table, taking the dishes that had been tasted a few bites back to the kitchen for replacement.

Sitting in the main seat was a man in a purple robe with black stripes. He had clean eyes, rouge on his cheeks and eye ends, thick lips and narrow eyes, and the corners of his eyes were lifted up to make him proud. Under the black gauze hat, white hair was faintly visible. Moving the male and female indistinguishable scene.

"Boss," the court lady on Jiang Hua's left called out in a tired voice, and then put some meat from the crab needle into a silver spoon the size of a thumb, and handed it to Jiang Hua's lips.

Jiang Huahou slightly lifted his lips and swallowed the crab meat.

The sound of string music bursts, and the private mansion is peaceful.

"Grandpa," a sharp-mouthed eunuch asked while rubbing Jiang Hua's shoulders, "I heard that Admiral Jia's request to act as the commander of the Yan army was approved by His Majesty, if it looks like this, His Majesty is really partial. "

"Hmph, it's not that your majesty is partial," Jiang Hua said coldly, "in your majesty's heart, he is different from us. Can Mr. Jia compare with us? When he was in the palace, he was a close friend of your majesty. Man, so many years have passed, have you ever seen His Majesty vent his anger on him for something? Even if Xie Zhi tried to get rid of the eunuchs before, look, now in the end, who did the knife?"

Having said that, Jiang Hua didn't show any anxiety on his face, and slowly opened his mouth, swallowing the cherry handed by the maid on the right.

"Your servant is just upset. Why does His Majesty the Ministry of Internal Affairs cut it as soon as he wants to cut it? Everyone is the same... Well," the little eunuch paused, and said, "A few days ago, you have not allowed He Dajian and the others to do anything. , but not everyone in the Ministry of Internal Affairs belongs to you, if you have such an order, no one else cares about accepting those good things."

"Zhang Rui," Jiang Hua said in a leisurely manner, "you are too impatient. In the past two years since the old man Xie Zhi died, His Majesty has not acted, but deliberately connived. No matter how decent the courtiers are, in private Don’t you still have to give us something? Hmph, there is a difference between closeness and closeness, which one is close and which one is distant, His Majesty has his own calculations in mind, so let us talk here?”

"Grandpa said so." Zhang Rui said with a flattering smile.

"Tsk, our family understands," Jiang Hua glanced at him, and said, "Did He Libao encourage you to come here to talk about it?"

"Grandpa was wronged, how could this slave have the guts," Zhang Rui said immediately, "This slave really feels aggrieved in his heart."

"When he was at home last year, his subordinates were dishonest. The penalty period has not yet expired. Forgive him for not daring to bring his ideas to me," Jiang Hua snorted coldly. Fat? I can’t stand it even if I take it a little bit, if this is the case, before others do it, our family will kick you out first!”

I don't know who the words are for, anyway, the people who are waiting around are startled when they heard the words, and they don't speak anymore.

"But you reminded me." Jiang Hua's eyes became turbulent. "In this court, Ni Xiang is secretly the leader and has helped the crown prince to take the throne. Most of the courtiers acted accordingly and stepped forward to curry favor. But this kind of power does not shed blood. There was also bloodshed. No matter how powerful Ni Congwen was, he was nothing more than a civil servant. Even if he held the Gyeonggi Army in his hands, it was only the city defense of the imperial capital. After King Yu was disabled, Jia Yun's move was nothing more than a sudden death. Holding the military power of the entire Chijia, even if His Majesty still regards him as a minister, but in the eyes of outsiders, this is a clear signal."

Zhang Rui doubted: "Even if Admiral Jia gets the military power, what's the use? Once the crown prince succeeds, and Prime Minister Ni encourages him, the military power will be taken back sooner or later."

"Oh," Jiang Hua said with a sneer, "so I still have to go and beat that one myself. Everyone is eunuchs who serve others, so what kind of general do you have to put there?"

In the evening sunset, Fu Chen escaped quietly while Tang Lan was going to train. Although he was allowed to recuperate from his injuries today, he could not go to the training for now, but he knew that his time was tight, and every day was precious and hard to give up.

He found an open space in the camp, and stood there with a blank expression on his face. While wiping the blade of his sword, he carefully recalled the scene of the sword trial with Liao Hui the day before yesterday. However, according to the words under the stele, these internal forces will dissipate sooner or later, and they cannot be used at all.If you want to win, you can only start with the most stupid skills, and turn from internal to external. He doesn't have the muscle strength to carry a tripod, but the Nanman blood from his mother makes him lighter and more capable than ordinary Yan people. Being faster than others in terms of speed may not necessarily prevent preemptive strikes.

The young man sneered, after much deliberation, he did not come up with any new ideas, but he still had to follow the old path he had thought of. It seemed that if he wanted to use force to win, he had to find another way, and he couldn't follow the method of military training. .

He took a small step forward, intending to stretch the muscles of his whole body, and immediately involved the old leg injury that was not fully healed.

His lips pursed, and he couldn't help recalling the moment when he was dazed during the competition yesterday. The young man covered his right eye with his hand, and the red sun falling towards the west instantly turned into brown tree spots.

Irritation suddenly arose in his heart, he forcibly suppressed the constant pain in his nerves, raised his sword, stepped, rotated, raised his wrist, and stabbed in the air, moving his position quickly, flipping his clothes while walking, only There was a mass of maroon clothing left, and his moves were as fast as lightning step by step, and the wind swept away the dust.

When he stopped to rest, he only heard a sound coming from behind him, and when he looked back, it was those two people again. He was in a complicated mood and there was a trace of embarrassment. .”

"That's right," Jia Yun praised, "I heard that your injury has not healed, but it seems that you have improved a lot in your physical skills today. Use it up or down, and practice frequently with high-level people. With your aptitude, there is still a lot to do. of."

Jia Yun deliberately avoided what happened yesterday, and Fu Chen just bowed his head and nodded. This was the first time he talked with Jia Yun since the day he entered the camp, and the strange complexity in his heart stirred up again. explain--

The young man suddenly raised his head and said:

"I would like to invite the admiral to see you."

Jia Yun was surprised. Seeing the young man holding a long sword, a knife mark on his pale face was exposed along with his raised head. His serious and decisive expression made him calm down, so he said: "You have been punished with a stick just now, and you are still going to die now." If you are not in your best condition, you should restore your physical fitness first, and when you are in your prime, we can learn from each other."

Fu Chen remained silent, his irritability just now made him dizzy for a moment, and he even ignored the time of the occasion and the silent man in the wheelchair beside him, wanting to have a duel with Jia Yun here, to settle all kinds of grievances and grievances.

He regretted, "...marked a slip of the tongue."

Jia Yun saw that the young man seemed to be worried about being superior in the martial arts competition. After all, he was a young man, and he always had the spirit of competing with others. He didn't care, and then changed the subject casually, saying: "I saw a soldier in the army calling you the other day. 'Zijie', but literate?"

"I know a few of them, but I don't know much about them."

Jia Yun raised his eyelids, recalling what he had learned about this young man's childhood, and said calmly: "But did you learn from the teacher when you were young?"

Fu Chen was surprised, thought about it, and answered truthfully: "It's just that I picked up a few fragments of history books and looked them up when I had nothing to do. I probably understood the general idea, and I didn't go to a private school seriously... ...The admiral laughed."

"Have you read history books?" Jia Yun seemed to be pleasantly surprised, and asked, "Then I will test you today. A hundred years ago, the ancestor of the Yan Kingdom fought in the north and south, and unified the Central Plains from the northern Xinjiang. Have you ever read this history? Pass?"

Fu Chen nodded and looked at him.

Jia Yun went on to say: "Then you will know that the entangled disputes with the Nanman today are the root cause of disasters since then, but if people's livelihood is declining in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, fighting again rashly will only hurt both sides again, and the gains outweigh the losses, so take advantage of the trend It fulfilled the Nanman’s proposal at the time and avoided causing the people’s livelihood to fall into misery again, so the first ancestor’s decision may not have been without consideration at that time. In terms of this matter, what do you think?”

Fu Chen slightly lowered his eyes, and after a while, the wind passed, just covering the eyes of the man beside him who turned secretly.

"... What the ancestor did is a foregone conclusion, and he marked his reckless background, so he dare not speak rashly." The young man returned to his usual cowardice.

Since Jia Yun asked, he didn't intend to let him fool him. He has a strong tendency to ask questions, but he also wants to use this to see what he sees.He said: "It's just an ordinary hypothetical question. You can answer whatever you want. Besides, it's the time of training. There is no one else here except me and His Highness. You can just say it and I will give you no guilt."

Fu Chen looked up at the man who moved from Jia Yun to the side, and met the two gazes from him. Suddenly startled, he lowered his head, thinking about what to say in response.

"...The subscript doesn't have any insight. The history books I read before said it briefly, and I don't know what the specific situation was when the battle was fought a hundred years ago," Fu Chen said. otherwise it would be tantamount to inaction.”

"Then you don't consider whether the external actual factors are allowed?" Jia Yun asked.

"There will never be a situation that is not allowed." Fu Chen paused.

Here, Zong Zhengxi continued, "Where did you get your confidence? If you had soldiers and horses in your hands, would you really be willing to gamble with the lives of your soldiers?"

The man's faintly questioning tone seemed to be an ordinary inquiry, and he couldn't tell what kind of emotion it was.

Jia Yun slightly tilted his head, raised his eyebrows and glanced at Zong Zhengxi, then turned his head again to see how the young man was going to answer.

Fu Chen recalled something, and the corners of Pingping's mouth twitched: "Biaoxia saw wild wolves when he was young, and they would never give up hunting because their prey retreated. The leeway for the poor may only be applicable to humans, but those Since the wolves dare to take risks, they will naturally be able to enjoy the richest food in return... This is fair."

Zong Zhengxi tapped the armrest with his fingertips, slowly and briefly.

"It's also insightful." Jia Yun nodded in agreement, "But since you also said that the consideration is only applicable to human beings, why do you choose to fight regardless of the consequences?"

"What the wolves did was nothing more than a good meal, but what the ancestors did was the territory of the world," Fu Chen said, "If the emperor was the ancestor, he wouldn't be able to tell the difference. How can we suddenly learn the manners of a gentleman in the end when we regain unity, which makes people laugh and be generous.”

"Presumptuous." The man's voice was light.

"The mark was a slip of the tongue." Fu Chen hurriedly leaned over to apologize.

"...It's nothing, just now I said that no crime will be punished," Jia Yun helped him up, and said, "This is a question that varies from person to person, and everyone has their own opinions, but your experience of causing wolves to act is quite new. , being able to use your previous experience as a transfer shows that your talent can be expressed."

Fu Chen was shaken all over, lowered his head, and said, "...Admiral...Admiral's reputation is too high."

Jia Yundao: "There are many recent historical records in my residence. If you are interested, you can pick a few and read them."

Fu Chen agreed, bending his back.

Jia Yun's eyelids twitched a few times, suppressing the sense of disharmony in his heart, and said: "Believe in what you do, Chi Jia will always choose his own strength."

Zong Zhengxi recalled Fu Chen's momentary trance when he first saw him, and interjected in a cold voice: "Although your speed in swordsmanship has increased, but your sword's momentum is erratic. Restless. It seems that the lesson from Liao Hui the day before yesterday has not been learned, so ambitious, it must not last long."

Fu Chen looked slumped, lowered his head, and responded, "Yes, thank you for your guidance, Your Highness."

Zongzhengxi didn't respond, so he turned the wheel and left.

Jia Yun knew that Zong Zhengxi had always been strict with his subordinates and spoke harshly, and Fu Chen had just entered the camp, so he was inevitably not used to it, so he added: "If you want to compete with me, I promise you, but if you want to There is one condition, you have to wait until you have enough strength to fight against me, and your current task is to practice with peace of mind, the essence of martial arts is expensive and not expensive."

Seeing that Fu Chen was not happy, Jia Yun didn't say much anymore, only heard a laughing voice from the side, before seeing the person, he heard the voice first: "Admiral Jia, how is it?"

Her voice is thin but not noisy, with the charming laughter of a southern woman.

Jia Yun's face froze slightly, he didn't know where he appeared, he was not careful for a while, and he didn't notice that someone was nearby.He turned his head and said with a smile: "Long time no see, why is Director Jiang so interested in coming here today?"

In the distance, I saw Jiang Hua wearing a concubine-colored brocade dress, with the crown removed, revealing slightly gray hair, round face, and a perennial smile on his lips.There were only two young eunuchs in regular clothes by his side, and it was rare for him to appear plain.

"Why did you bring two people out today? Aren't you afraid that the countryside is not safe?" Jia Yun said.

"I have nothing to worry about when I get to your territory." Jiang Hua walked over slowly.

Seeing Jiang Hua stepping forward, Jia Yun said in a low voice again: "Boss Jiang made a mistake, this is not my territory, but an important place for the Yan State Army, idlers, etc., don't enter rashly."

Jiang Hua burst into laughter, put his hand on Jia Yun's shoulder who was taller, and said, "It seems that the soldiers guarding the gate don't regard me as an idler...that's right, with you here, who would Dare to stop me from coming in?"

With a pun in the words, Jiang Hua saw Jia Yun's thick eyebrows frowned again, and his smile became even wider. He glanced to the side and said, "Yo! When did our soldiers take in the Southern barbarians?"

Fu Chen had always hated the eunuchs, and when he saw that man sizing him up with slippery eyes, even if it wasn't the first time he encountered a similar situation, he still felt nauseated and writhed.

Jiang Hua's eyes were secretly glued to the young man for a while before he turned away.

"If the manager has something to say, you may as well speak up, a martial artist like me can't understand the manager's deep meaning." Jia Yun interrupted in a deep voice.

Jiang Hua's smile suddenly turned into irony.

Hearing Jiang Hua's tone just now, Fu Chen knew that he deliberately pretended to be the first time they met, and he didn't want to have any more interaction with him, so what happened to expose the secret.It happened to be what he wanted.

Averting his eyes from the two intimate people in front of him, Fu Chen suppressed the feeling of humiliation in his heart, and said in a low voice: "I dare not disturb each other, I will leave without incident."

After finishing speaking, he left without waiting for an answer. Fu Chen avoided the camp where the two were, and walked towards the cavalry camp.

Perhaps it was because Jia Yun was tolerant towards him from the bottom of his heart. For the first time, he ignored the consequences and directly turned his face to others.He regretted that he couldn't hold his breath, but he felt happy to stay away from those two people.

Fu Chen thought for a moment, before going back to the training ground of the cavalry battalion to practice.

In the past two days, Liao Hui has been severely punished with a cane, and he is still recuperating in his tent. He has no time to come to the training ground to supervise the training in person.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived outside the arena, he happened to see a man sitting in front of him watching the battle. It was King Yu who had just met him.At this moment, he stared intently at the cavalry soldiers who were practicing riding and shooting below.

The hatred in his heart just now has not disappeared, and at this moment, he does not want to make false claims with others, and turns his head to leave, when he suddenly hears a voice obstructing him from behind:

"come over."

Fu Chen took a deep breath and turned around.Seeing that King Yu didn't look sideways at him, he was still in the same posture as he had just watched the battle.

As the wind gradually picked up, Zong Zhengxi turned his head around, his eyes were rare cold: "You can't beat him."

Fu Chen wondered for a moment, whether this "he" refers to Liao Hui who has not returned to the team because of the one hundred rod punishment, or someone else.

But no matter what it is now, he doesn't care.

The emotions that had been suppressed for a long time seemed to suddenly find a place to vent, the mask burst open, and he smiled in a low voice, hidden in the laughter was a seldom revealed unruliness: "Really? Then try."

The centipede on his cheek moved faintly, and Fu Chen met Zong Zhengxi's gaze directly for the first time.

Zong Zhengxi remained calm, not surprised by the sudden change in this young man's temperament, and then said slowly: "...I won Liao Hui, and I will select you as the deputy general."

Fu Chen didn't move, knowing that the "he" just now referred to Liao Hui, he understood it, and then heard the man say: "Take it back."

Without saying a word, the young man ran directly to the training ground below.

A figure in chestnut clothes suddenly broke into the group of soldiers who were practicing horse shooting. His figure was flexible and vigorous. He drew the bow, pulled the string, and released the arrow in one go. The sound of inhaling all showed the surprise brought by his intrusion.

Fu Chen sat on the horse, he was already used to being immersed in pain, he could no longer feel the soreness from yesterday's stick injury, he stretched his bow with all his strength to the limit, and shot the arrow, as if what he shot was the madness he had hidden for many years.

He himself only allowed himself this time, and after the end of the game, he was still him and dared not change.

On the viewing platform, the man's eyes were deep and quiet, reflecting the figure who was venting with an arrow.

"I don't know what the reason for Manager Jiang's special visit?" Jia Yun sat down coldly, and took Jiang Hua's hand on his shoulder.

Not going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing can make Jiang Hua condescend to go to this barracks, and it will definitely not be an excuse to visit deliberately.

Jiang Huale said: "Brother, I have always known that elder brother is a straightforward person. You and I can be regarded as colleagues for many years. We have served His Majesty together since we entered the palace. How can we be so lucky now?"

Jia Yun looked at him: "If you have acted peacefully these years, Your Majesty will not ignore the old feelings, so why bother to come to me now?"

Jiang Hua was not annoyed when he saw that his intention of coming was punctured, he still smiled, like a Maitreya Buddha anointed with oil: "Brother Admiral, you have wronged me. Brother, although I have little knowledge since I was young, I also know that 'flies don't bite. The truth is seamless, my younger brother, I am deeply involved in the imperial court, and I am not as righteous as my elder brother, but if I blame me for all the things Mr. Xie wrote to impeach me, I will never dare to be so."

"As His Majesty's ministers, you and I should not embarrass Your Majesty for no reason." Jia Yun said.

"A minister?" Jiang Hua raised his eyebrows, "Brother, I have been by His Majesty's side all year round. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is in charge of internal and external affairs of the palace. It is a minister, but what are you, brother?"

Jia Yun was silent for a moment, ignoring his secret provocation, and said: "I know my identity. Although I have been with the army for many years, I have no military posts. In fact, I am assisting King Yu to fight against barbarians and dare not overstep. Now that King Yu is dead, the army There are no generals available, so I temporarily act as a military officer to handle affairs. But the military power has not been transferred."

Jiang Hua smiled and said, "Brother don't need to be angry, younger brother just ask casually."

Jia Yun still had a serious face, his skin was full of vicissitudes: "Your Majesty is nostalgic, but if we rely on favor and arrogance, it will be no reason to make Your Majesty stretched."

Jiang Hua stared at his face, and cursed in his heart: It really is a elm brain!

Jiang Hua withdrew his smile slightly, walked to Jia Yun's side, leaned into his ear and said, "Brother has been with King Yu for many years, you should know that Xie Zhi's favorite student is behind the crown prince's ascension. He is the chief eunuch who was repeatedly criticized by Mr. Xie during his lifetime, and now relying on His Majesty's old love for food and clothing, what about the future?"

Jiang Hua watched with satisfaction when Jia Yun's pupils shrank when he said "Master Xie", and added: "But Xie Zhi is dead, and while His Majesty is in power, we still have a chance..."

Jia Yun stood up abruptly, Jiang Hua staggered backwards, only to hear him say: "Don't forget your identity! In the past, I didn't want to talk to you more because of my old friendship. If you still have such evil thoughts in the future, I will No more mercy!"

"Oh," Jiang Hua sneered, "Then I will congratulate the admiral for his loyalty to the country and die!"

Jia Yun frowned and looked at Jiang Hua's angry figure walking away, and turned his head to meditate.

When the two young eunuchs saw Jiang Hua coming out, they hurried up to greet him. Seeing Jiang Hua's expression turned ugly, Zhang Rui asked nervously, "Grandpa, how are you doing?"

"Hmph, soy beans in the sesame field, old bastard," Jiang Hua's face twisted together, and his usual smile disappeared, "Give him some color, just for His Majesty's sake, and now he's teaching me a lesson Already!"

"Grandpa, don't be angry, don't hurt yourself because of this little thing." Zhang Rui followed behind Jiang Hua.

"After so many years, he hasn't changed at all," Jiang Hua said, "If you give him clear directions, he won't leave, and you insist on forcing our family to do something dirty for him."

"Grandpa, after all, Admiral Jia is as light as he is in the army, so don't be too impulsive," Zhang Rui said.

"Cut, what do you think our family plans to do, to kill him?" Jiang Hua said disdainfully, "It still requires me to do it. Jia Yun's actions are just asking for death, and there is no need for our family to resort to any means." Oh, I want to see how long he can pretend like this!"

Zhang Rui helped him into the sedan chair, and said: "Grandpa has a lot of gains and losses in his heart, and the younger ones just care about enjoying the blessings and don't dare to gossip."

Jiang Hua calmed down, smiled again, and said: "He Jia Yun has some, I don't care about them, let's go, go to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

As night fell, the people on the training ground gradually dispersed.

Fu Chen leaned on the archery target alone, his curly hair pressed against his side cheeks, under the faint moonlight, the young man's long eyelashes were like fans, and his face was pale.

An afternoon of sweating profusely steamed through his reckless recklessness, and he knew that today he couldn't hold back the hatred in his heart due to impulsiveness, but he was unwilling to do so.

"Zi Jie, you are really here." Tang Lan walked out of the night, and said a little helplessly, "I saw that you hadn't returned to the camp, so I knew you must have gone out to practice again."

Tang Lan came lavishly with a makeshift straw basket on his arm, looking very funny, quite like a carefree old woman next door.

The corner of Fu Chen's lips curled slightly, no matter how tired he was, every time he saw him, his mood would change a lot.

"I'm sorry to ask you to come here to find me... Training is tight on weekdays, so if you're tired, you can go and rest. Now we're separated from each other in the camp, so it's not as convenient to communicate with each other." Fu Chen said slowly.

"You have such a stubborn temper, I don't care about you, you can live for a few more days," Tang Lan sat across from Fu Chen, and said with a smile, "I will raise a son when I'm with you, young master, look at me just now When I met you, your whole body was full of bones, plus a piece on your body, it was said that there were two or two taels of flesh..."

While muttering, he laid out the things in the basket: "I still want to come over and feed you something, right?"

Tang Lan stretched out the pancake in front of him, Fu Chen went to pick it up, but he withdrew his hand and took it back, Fu Chen was taken aback: "...Huh?"

"Drink the tonic first." I saw Tang Lan holding a bowl of thick Chinese medicine in his other free hand. Fu Chen was too familiar with the thick and bitter taste. "Just treat it as hot soup. It’s time to warm up your body, and you have to drink it before meals to be effective.”

Fu Chen didn't give up, reached out to take it, poured it down in one gulp, and put the bowl back into the basket Tang Lan was carrying.

He hiccupped lightly, and the breath he exhaled was warm: "...Why do you live for so long? Isn't it just adding to your troubles?"

Tang Lan's hands froze, and he said, "Okay, Fu Zijie, count me as a donkey with good intentions, you can do whatever you want."

"Hey," Fu Chen sensed his dissatisfaction, and said anxiously, "Don't be angry, I'm just an asshole, I won't let you come over specially in the future, I'll go find you, okay?"

"Forget it," Tang Lan sighed slightly, and said, "If you don't want to live a good life yourself, then why should I force it?"

"Who wouldn't want to live a good life," Fu Chen said with a smile, "It's just that in this world, it's not an easy task."

"So you backed away," Tang Lan looked at him and said, "This is not the style you should have."

"...Then what do you think I should do?" Fu Chen asked.

"Naturally live to your heart's content, and die...you have to die happily," Tang Lan confided in her heart, "Every time you fight with others, you never leave any room for retreat. Why is it that when you put down your sword, you seem to have changed?" Just like another person."

"So...you've been tired of me for a long time." Fu Chen's lips curled up with a hint of abandonment.

"That's not enough," Tang Lan said after looking at him for a long time, "Among the people of the same age I met in Beijing, they were either kids from rich families who were arrogant all the time, or rigid and clumsy bastards... this counts as me. One. To be honest, even though you looked dumb at the beginning, I didn’t bother to talk to you, but after talking about making trouble, you are much more pleasing to the eye than those people. At least you speak more honestly and simpler than them. Sticking to those fancy things is considered out of place among the people I've met..."

"Just because you think I'm different from others?" Fu Chen thought this answer was a bit ridiculous, "Actually, you should be similar to me, but you know how to live well better than me, so you should be happier than me."

Tang Lan smiled, and handed over the pancake again. This time, Fu Chen grabbed a firm one and swallowed it without being pretentious.

"This is what I call wisdom," Tang Lan said triumphantly, "It's not a good plan to eat enough to starve the enemy on the battlefield."

"What you said is right," Fu Chen said as he chewed something in his mouth, "I really envy you."

Tang Lan felt that Fu Chen was a little different tonight, but she couldn't tell what the difference was.

Maybe it's because young people are always gentle and easy-going, even if they occasionally show a bit of focus and fierceness when practicing martial arts, they seldom show a sad look, like the whiteness in a dream.

Tang Lan sat next to Fu Chen and asked, "Did you come out after your body injury was not healed, and the movement was too big and the wound was involved."

"It's okay, it's almost done." Fu Chen said.

"Then you look like..." Tang Lan knew that she would not be able to get anything out of asking, so she pretended to be angry and said, "You always eat the things I bring you with this face , and kept a secret from me, and I got angry again."

"I didn't want to hide anything from you," Fu Chen said frankly, "but who wouldn't have something to hide about the past... I'm not a girl, so it's unavoidable to be hypocritical if I talk too much... It's better for us to go drink together."

"Hey...stop it, stop it," Tang Lan said hastily, "Calm down, your injury is not healed, you have to use a sword and drink alcohol, I think your injury is really light."

Fu Chen lowered his head, revealing a slight smile.

Sweaty black hair covered the unsightly scar on his left cheek. Tang Lan's mind flickered, feeling a burst of self-blame and frustration, and sighed: "...you are really not a girl...if you don't want to tell me, I won't ask gone."

Fu Chen smiled softly, perhaps because the sweat from his body when he was practicing the moves just now evaporated away, and he had food to pad his hunger again, so he felt much refreshed and happier now.

He relaxed his body, leaned back against the target pole, and said, "Tang Lan, are you in trouble?"

"Yes," Tang Lan blurted out, "Who wouldn't be in trouble."

Fu Chen hesitated and asked: "...What if we can't find a way to crack it?"

"If others say they can't find it, I definitely don't believe it, but if you say that—"

Fu Chen looked up at him.

"Then I don't believe it even more." Tang Lan continued.

Fu Chen stretched out his hand and beat him to the side, then said, "You think I can find it?"

"Of course it's best if you can find it. If you really can't find it," Tang Lan laughed and added, "Oh, it's so simple. If you can't find it, don't look for it. After a while, you will find those The things you used to worry about are suddenly not a problem!... I think that when I was a child, I still struggled for a while whether I should study or join the army. Later, my family fell into poverty and I had no money to go to school. I was kicked into the military camp by my old mother. This is also the arrangement of God's will, what's the use of you talking about it for a long time."

There was a persistent look in Fu Chen's eyes, and he refused to let go: "But what if it's something you can't let go of all your life?"

Although Tang Lan's jokes, but also irrefutable truth.But just because it was so logical, it just touched the rebellious heart in his heart that was about to move.

"...Is there anything that you can never let go of in your life?" Tang Lan also calmed down, looking at the dark night sky, "When I was young, I hated my father who disliked the poor and loved the rich. Miss from a rich family. After a long time, I gradually forgot the original hatred, why use it to punish myself, everyone has their own way."

"Thinking too much, maybe just like you?" Tang Lan turned his gaze to him, and his eyes were still reflecting the dark, starless deep sky tonight.

Fu Chen didn't answer any more, but he wanted to say in his heart that his lifespan was only four years, and he wouldn't have the extravagant time to kill and forget.When he got off the ground to reunite with his mother, and then closed the door with his father whom he had never met to ask for advice, he would naturally have enough time to comfort his life in the endless future.

He only wants to fulfill his long-cherished wish in the remaining days, even if he wanders by the enemy's side with this tortured hatred, he will not hesitate.

The night is long and the cold dew is late, and the moon is full of sorrow and sleeplessness.
