Chapter 26 Unpredictable Collapse

Outside Xie and Chen's family is a small river dug artificially, which is the water diverted from a main river in the city.

On the other side of the river, there is a bank of green grass. The grass and trees have been cultivated for many years, and they have already become a scenery, especially in spring.

Logically speaking, is there no prince in the current imperial court?Didn't the dignitaries take a fancy to this unique and secluded garden?Why did it have to be divided into two halves, and the level was lowered for two people to live in?

Because it is too close to the border, it was still inland during the previous dynasty, and it was very comfortable for people who often came here for a vacation.

But now that the border is moving south, this Bieyuan is in a county on the border. Maybe whenever there is a war, this place will suffer.No rich man is willing to take this risk.

The reason why the Shen family settled down here is because the army that Shen's father served was stationed on the border not far away.

The Xie family also made their home here because they migrated from the north and crossed the border between the two countries after a long journey. This is the closest place.

Therefore, it is not just a coincidence that the Shen family and the Xie family can become neighbors, it must also be involved.

On this day, the weather was fine and the spring breeze was gentle.

Xie Yuan boxed and practiced his sword on the grass by the river. After a set of punches, he picked up the sword and danced.

Shen Liuzhen, on the other hand, was leaning against a tree trunk beside him, holding a volume of books in his hand, silently reciting his homework.Occasionally, his eyes would move away from the book in his hand, and he would look at Xie Yuan dancing his sword with an air of envy and enjoyment.

I saw Xie Yuan suddenly ran towards a tree with a crooked neck next to him, stepped on the trunk in three steps, leaped and spun in the air, swung his long sword, and only heard a "噗" and the sound of sword energy breaking through the air , The leaves of the big tree on the opposite side were chopped off and fell down.

Xie Yuankong's vigorous figure was as light as a swallow, and he landed silently like a cat, and thrust his sword into the grass next to him.

With a "click", a branch broke and fell from the tree, which happened to be the back of Xie Yuan walking over.

The corners of Shen Liuzhen's mouth could not help but smile, and he heard a little maid who was following them whisper:

"It's a good tree, I have to go up and chop it down..."

Xie Yuan lay down next to Shen Liuzhen as if exhausted, panting, and muttering:
"If you let me go out to play, I won't cut down trees."

The little maid was completely silent, pretending that she didn't hear anything, and was packing the snack box aside.

Shen Liuzhen turned his head to look at Xie Yuan.

Seeing her with her hands up, resting her head on her head and looking at the white clouds in the sky in a daze, she complimented her in a low voice:
"Brother, that move just now is so cool, it makes me want to practice martial arts."

Shen Liuzhen said so every day.

Xie Yuan gave him a blank look, still looking at the white clouds floating slowly in the sky, and said: "Don't talk, it's time to move, I'm worried that no one will practice against me."

Shen Liuzhen turned a page of the book and said, "Forget it, I just thought about it, why waste time on things I'm not good at."

"You are always justified." Xie Yuan complained about him.

The weather in spring is neither cold nor hot, the breeze is gentle, and the leaves shake from time to time and make a rustling sound.

Xie Yuan lowered his eyes, kicked the foot of Shen Liuzhen next to him with his boot, and said in a low voice:
"You think of a way, let's go out and play!"

Shen Liuzhen turned another page of the book, sighed exaggeratedly, and said loudly: "Didn't you see so many people looking at it? Where are you going?"

As soon as these words came out, the boys in charge of leading the horses and the maids serving tea and water immediately looked at them under the tree with vigilant eyes.

The talkative maid just now said out loud, "Ah Yuan, please calm down. Madam's health is not good these days, so don't make her worry again. If you run away without permission, we will be beaten even more."

Xie Yuan raised his face to look at them, then glared at Shen Liuzhen again, his pair of red phoenix eyes became slender: "Are you doing it on purpose again? Do you want to be beaten?"

Shen Liuzhen raised his arm subconsciously...

There is no way, for a person who is often beaten, the defensive posture has become instinctive.

Seeing that Xie Yuan was just talking, he didn't really intend to move, so he was a little relieved.But looking at him with her naturally powerful Danfeng eyes was really scary, so she faltered and said:

"Master's health is not good, don't you worry? You still have to think about going out to play."

These words were once again hit by Xie Yuan's weakness with Shen Liuzhen's dark thoughts.

Sure enough, the anger on Xie Yuan's face disappeared, and he turned to look at the sky again, his eyes flickered for a while, and said in a sad and helpless tone: "My mother...she is often in poor health, I am used to it..."

At this moment, there was a sound of horseshoes stamping on the ground, and Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen got up and looked behind.

Sure enough, Father Shen came back with someone, but he was still wearing a full set of armor.

Xie Yuan stood up and waved excitedly at Father Shen: "Master! Master!"

But this time, Father Shen just turned his head on the galloping horse and looked at them, waved his hands twice, and left.

Xie Yuan was a little puzzled, and Shen Liuzhen lazily stood up from under the tree at this moment, walked to Xie Yuan's side, watched Shen's father hurriedly enter the door of Xie's house with her, and said:

"It seems that there is something urgent..." Then he added, "It doesn't seem like a good thing."

"Let's go back and have a look." After saying that, Xie Yuan ran to the side of the two pony, jumped on his own horse, grabbed the rein from the boy's hand, and patted the horse away.

Shen Liuzhen looked at the back of Xie Yuan galloping on the horse, and said with a sad face: "...Oh, don't you feel tired? It's like a gust of wind all day long."

He said so, but he still ran to his horse and got on it.

The little maid turned to his back and asked:
"Xiao Langjun, are you still coming back? Are you cleaning up here?"

"Take it away." Shen Liuzhen said, and the horse chasing Xie Yuan ran away.

As soon as Xie Yuan entered the door of the hall, he saw his father Xie Yun sitting on the teacher's chair next to him with a dejected expression on his face, and on the other side, her master General Shen also had a sad expression on his face.

"Brother Xie...sorry." Master said with lowered eyes.

"I know... I knew this day would come, but I never thought it would be so tragic." Her father Xie Yun was in a trance, murmured, and raised his eyes to see Xie Yuan standing at the door, just like that Looking at her, there was an expression on her face that she couldn't understand.

Father Xie beckoned to Xie Yuan lovingly.

This scene made Xie Yuan feel inexplicably uneasy and heavy. She walked towards her father step by step, snuggled up to his side obediently, and looked up at him.

Xie Yun stretched out a hand, touched the hair on the top of her head, and then touched her face, as if he was looking at her, or thinking about something on his mind, and then suddenly, two tears fell from his cheeks. Eye sockets slipped.

His expression was extremely painful, tears were pouring down like rain, his collapse was so unexpected, so thorough...

So much so that Xie Yuan opened his mouth wide in a daze, looking at her father's sad expression in disbelief, he was stunned...
