Ye Lan entered the army camp for the first time, she was curious about everything, she had to eat and live like ordinary soldiers, Xiao Chong was worried that he would not be able to take it all year round, worried left and right, which made the rest of the soldiers look at him strangely .

Chang Qin listened to it and felt that he must talk to Xiao Chong, so he went to Xiao Chong's tent when Ye Lan was not around.

Xiao Chongzheng was gnawing steamed buns while flipping through the book of war. Seeing Chang Qin enter the door, he signaled with his eyes to let him sit opposite him.

"Where are people?" Chang Qin asked Ye Lan.

"I went to find He Hui."

After Xiao Chong finished speaking, he felt very strange, Chang Qin didn't stare at He Hui's eyes every day without blinking.

Chang Qin coughed lightly, concealing his embarrassment, and said, "I have something to tell you."

"Well, is it the deployment of troops at that time?" Xiao Chong put down the military book, took out the map, and put it on the table.

Chang Qin opened his mouth twice, held back for a long time, and finally said, "Yes."

Xiao Chong nodded, "Tell me, what are you going to do."

……

Chang Qin came out of Xiao Chong's camp with his head downcast, without saying a word he wanted to say, but he explained the strategic arrangement afterwards.

He was not the most eloquent among the few people, but now, his understanding of himself has stepped up to a higher level.

He stood under the sentry tower, silently watching the soldiers coming and going.

"What are you thinking about?"

Chang Qin felt that the hairs on the back of his neck were going to stand on end, and he became nervous for no reason. He lowered his head and turned around, not daring to lift his eyes.

He Hui looked at him like this, and asked cautiously, "Did I scare you?"

"How could it be!" Chang Qin's voice trembled.

His hands were tightly clenched into fists under his sleeves, and he kept complaining to himself.

"I want to talk to you."

"What are you talking about!"

Chang Qin wished he could stab himself right on the spot with a sword. He obviously didn't want to use such a harsh tone, but the more nervous he became, the more he couldn't control himself.

He Hui didn't care, and pointed to his tent, "Go inside and talk?"

Chang Qin followed behind him with his head down, not walking too fast or too slow.

He Hui's camp was clean, without any rough traces of marching, just like himself, making people comfortable.

Chang Qin glanced around from the corner of his eye, followed the direction He Hui pointed and sat on the stool, waiting for him to speak.

"I know, you always took that matter to heart before." He Hui lowered his voice as much as possible, hoping that Chang Qin could listen.

"At that time, I was stimulated a lot, and my thoughts were very naive, which made it difficult for you."

No, that's not the case.

Obviously, I was too stubborn, didn't take your thoughts into consideration at all, and insisted on going my own way, that's why I kept you alone.

"So, let's make up, okay?" He Hui asked tentatively, but seeing Chang Qin's hesitant look, he was a little timid, "Chang Qin?"

He Hui didn't speak anymore, just moved a small stool to sit opposite Chang Qin, and looked at him quietly.

His patience is the most sufficient, just like when he was a child in school, he always used up the time to talk frequently.

After an unknown amount of time, Chang Qin finally said, "Don't, don't look at me."

He Hui couldn't help laughing, "Then I'll treat it as if you don't care about what happened before."

"I……"

He Hui stretched out his hand and patted the back of Chang Qin's hand twice, looking like a big brother.

The atmosphere suddenly changed at this moment.

He Hui's pupils froze instantly, and Chang Qin suddenly held his hand.

Chang Qin didn't know how much courage he had used, his perennially cold face turned red, "I, I'm sorry."

He Hui didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong, instead he held Chang Qin's hand, like a brother, "I know, you will always be the most sincere to me."

Chang Qin didn't respond, but bit his lower lip and nodded vigorously.

When he came back to his senses, he had already left the camp.

The spring breeze was warm, but Chang Qin seemed to have frozen himself.

He slapped the railing standing beside him bitterly, leaving a red mark on his knuckles immediately, but it didn't make him feel pain.

That's how it is, because of who it is.

He could never participate in He Hui's life, and could only watch He Hui worry about his own affairs.

Ye Lan passed by him with squinted eyes, as if she didn't want to get involved in this matter.

But he didn't take a few steps, "Hello."

Ye Lan looked at the front, walked in a straight line, couldn't see, didn't hear, my name is not Ye Lan.

"Ye Lan!"

Ye Lan turned around, took a long breath, and asked angrily, "What are you doing?"

"I'm talking to you."

Ye Lan put her hands on her ears, "What are you talking about?"

"never mind."

"Okay, what do you want to say?" Ye Lan chased after him, he was just so awkward.

It was the third time Chang Qin talked to someone that day, especially with Ye Lan, an annoying person, and felt relaxed for the first time.

"I don't want He Hui to feel guilty towards me all the time, what should I do." He said concisely.

"You also know that you make your cousin uncomfortable." Ye Lan smacked her lips and said, "You are quite self-aware."

Chang Qin looked coldly.

"What do you want your cousin to do? He coaxed you all the time."

"I don't want him to coax me." Chang Qin's expression was a rare one of anxiety, Ye Lan opened his eyes wide and wanted to remember this moment.

"I know what you want, but you have never told my cousin, and he can't understand," Ye Lan said, "Anyway, you just want to guard him, just be dumb in front of him all the time." ,” he raised his eyebrows suddenly,

"But is that really enough for you?"

Chang Qin lowered his head, "Let's go."

Ye Lan's kindness was not rewarded, she kicked the stool in Chang Qin's camp and walked out.

He stretched out his arms, bounced around and went to find Xiao Chong.

Xiao Chong was still studying the map, when he saw Ye Lan coming in, he smiled at him, "You seem very happy."

"The misfortune of my enemies is the source of my joy."

"enemy?"

Ye Lan shrugged her shoulders, said nothing more, and ran to Xiao Chong's side, "What are you doing?"

"I talked with Chang Qin just now, and we all think that we should go south first, this Yuebei tribe," Xiao Chong pointed to the map, "It seems to be a tribe that migrated from South Vietnam, and they seem to be reasonable. I think maybe we can talk to them first. They make peace and save some troops."

"I seem to have heard of this." Ye Lan thought for a while, "I was in Nuanxiang Pavilion, and I got information about them. This tribe is good at using poison, not good at force. It is true that we can make peace first, but they say They are very cunning and should be very dangerous."

"Is that so..." Xiao Chong pondered for a while, then looked at Ye Lan again, "We should try it if it's dangerous."

"South Vietnam itself is a small country that doesn't honor promises, so it's better to be more careful."

"Ah."

Ye Lan was furiously stared at by Xiao Chong, and asked again, "Why are you looking at me like this?"

"The second young master is worthy of being the second young master. He has seen a lot."

Ye Lan was overjoyed by the flattery, and pinched Xiao Chong's cheeks, "Although I know you're talking to make me happy, I'm still happy."

Xiao Chong's face was deformed by pinching, but his eyes were still smiling. He wrapped his long arms around Ye Lan and hugged Ye Lan, "I'm serious."

Ye Lan supported Xiao Chong's shoulder with his hand, lowered his body and rubbed the tip of his nose against Xiao Chong's, his eyes were filled with unconcealable affection.

The two were making out, when Xiao Ao's voice came from outside, "Brother!"

Ye Lan jumped away from Xiao Chong's arms, stood in front of the bookcase, and straightened her belt without any trace.

Xiao Chong glanced at him before saying to the door, "Come in."

Xiao Ao walked in, glanced at Ye Lan, and put a stack of envelopes on Xiao Chong's desk, "Brother, these are all letters from Changling, and some of them are related to military supplies. You need to deal with them first."

"Well, I see." After Xiao Chong answered, he looked at Xiao Ao again, "Is there anything else?"

Xiao Ao glanced at Ye Lan again, "Ah..."

"I'm going to see my cousin!" Before Xiao Ao could say anything, Ye Lan left. He felt that Xiao Ao didn't want him to be there.

Seeing Ye Lan go out, Xiao Chong's face became serious, "What's the matter?"

"Brother," Xiao Ao gritted his teeth, this matter is really hard to talk about, "You and Second Young Master, you..."

Xiao Chong didn't speak, but he didn't look uncomfortable at all.

The more Xiao Ao saw him like this, the more impatient he became, "Do you know what will happen if mother finds out about this?"

"What will happen?"

Xiao Ao was stunned for a moment, "Brother, do you really... like him that much?"

Xiao Chong's expression was very calm, he didn't think there was anything shameful about it, "I like him very much."

"But, you are going to..."

"I'm going to be with him from now on."

Xiao Ao really didn't think there was anything to criticize about this matter, he was just worried about Xiao Chong's future, "But son..."

"You are because of this?" Sure enough, it was because of this.

Xiao Chong had already guessed these things, "Don't you still have you at home?"

"I?"

Xiao Chong looked at Xiao Ao seriously, "Xiao Ao, you grew up with your mother, I understand that the responsibility of the Xiao family in your heart is greater than the sky, but in fact you don't need to be like this." He said patiently, "Continue Xiao Ao The blood of the family is actually meaningless, just like you and me, are we really similar to our father except in appearance?"

"Compared to that, my mother taught us to protect the people we cherish. This is what I want to pursue in my life."

Xiao Ao's eyes were blank, he looked at his eldest brother, he thought for a while, and finally said, "Brother, I understand."

"Okay, as for the future, I have my own plans, you don't have to worry about brother."

The corners of Xiao Ao's mouth were slightly twitched, his brother is good at everything, but he keeps everything in his heart and is unwilling to share at all.

The only thought was given to Ye Lan.

As a brother, he didn't even know whether he should be jealous or not.

But his brother has already paid a lot for the Xiao family, and his opinions can only be limited, and it is unfair to demand too much.

He even suspected that his brother had already told his mother about these things, otherwise, Ye Lan had been recuperating in Changling for so many days, and her mother would never even show her face.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ao felt a little relieved, if his mother had no objection, he didn't have to worry about it.
