"What are you hiding from?" Fang Chuning looked at him jokingly.

Xie Jue was wearing a thin undershirt, which had been soaked by the hot springs. It clung to his body like a lush forest, creating a dizzying beauty. The shadow guard's words made his face, which was already suffocated by the heat, even hotter. , so red that it almost burned, he said in a deep voice, "Turn around!"

"Are you shy? The shadow guards aren't even here!" Fang Chuning looked at him funny. Xie Jue's eyebrows darkened, and the storm was about to break out. Fang Chuning took a step back and did not provoke him.

Xie Jue calmed down and couldn't help but ask, "What did the Marshal want to talk to you about? It's been going on for so long?"

There were no scars on his back, and there was no sign of gloom. It seemed that the commander-in-chief didn't notice anything. Fang Chuning said calmly, "We talked a little about military affairs in Jiangnan."

"Can we talk about military affairs all day?"

"The military affairs in Jiangnan are complicated. If we really want to talk about it, we can talk for five or six days. This is the first time I have really come into contact with the army in Jiangnan. After we go on a mission, my father will arrange troops at the border and wait for us to return." Fang Chuning lowered his eyebrows. Xie Jue knew that he was not telling the truth, and the commander should have told him these things long ago.

Fang Chuning didn't want to say anything, and seemed to have nothing to do with their affairs, so Xie Jue didn't get to the bottom of it.

"Sometimes I really envy the father-son relationship between you and the old Marquis." Fang Chuning said something carelessly. Xie Jue was trying his best to suppress the rising heat in his heart, and frowned when he heard this.

"what happened?"

Fang Chuning smiled bitterly, "My relationship with my father is even stranger than that of a stranger. I have nothing to say except business matters. Isn't it ridiculous?"

It was difficult for Xie Jue to comment on other people's family affairs, and he also criticized the commander-in-chief because he punished Fang Chuning so harshly and he did not understand the commander-in-chief's actions.

Because he has a majestic and loving father, he should not be so strict even if he hopes that his son will succeed. Moreover, after having Ruyi, although Xie Jue also hopes that Ruyi can cultivate both civil and military skills and be independent in the future, he also hopes that Ruyi will be healthy. , grow up happily.

Although he doted on Ruyi because of Xie Zhang, if he really became a father, he would also hope that his child would grow up healthily and satisfactorily.

His father also hoped that the three brothers would become talented, so he took his children to the battlefield for training at a very young age, using actual combat to temper their character and increase their knowledge. They endured less of the stick from their father, and only Xie Xun endured more, but Xie Xun didn't get any beatings in vain. He asked for them all.

Perhaps he was biased and felt that what Fang Chuning had experienced since childhood was unnecessary. Wouldn't Fang Chuning be able to become a talent without those sticks and beatings?

Xie Jue doesn’t know!
It’s just that those experiences have indeed shaped Fang Chuning. If you like someone, you can’t deny any of his past experiences, because it is every day in the past that can shape the living person in front of him today. Therefore, although he has some criticisms of the commander, And grateful.

"Fathers and sons in the world each have their own way of getting along. Maybe you and the commander are like this. There is no need to compare with others."

Fang Chuning didn't understand, but the shortcomings in his heart and the emotions he had longed for since childhood were never filled by anyone. The praise and expectations he received from any elders were not as good as the recognition from his father, but it was him who Never got it. Because of the lack, the regrets are getting bigger and bigger, and the desires are hard to fill.

"I have warned myself a long time ago that I have grown up and am no longer the boy who was looking forward to my father. It doesn't matter whether he loves me or not, but I... I was all lying to myself."

"What happened?" Xie Jue could sense his sadness and forgot to talk to him for the time being. "Can you tell me?"

"I have heard a lot of rumors since I was a child. My father and my mother did not get married voluntarily. He was forced to marry my mother because he did not like me. In the Imperial Academy that year, I had a fight with Li Si. It was Li Si. He said in front of me that his mother killed his aunt, and I beat him to a bloody head. After returning home, my father gave me ten lashes, saying that I was impatient and irritable and that I needed to learn to control my temper. After that lashing, I I asked my mother and saw her tears, so I warned myself more and more that I must be self-reliant in the future. I don’t have to rely on the reputation of Fang Dashuai’s only son to fight my way out. From then on, I didn’t look forward to him. He loved me so much, but I found that I had lied to myself." Fang Chuning said, "It's strange to say that in recent years, his attitude toward me has become softer, not as harsh as when he was a child. I thought my handsome father finally had some respect for me. So a little bit of recognition, the suffering he caused me was just to train me to become a qualified major general. But I found that I seemed to be wrong. In his heart, I will always be the son he does not expect, regardless of me No matter how hard I try, I can't make him proud. As long as I make a mistake, no, it's not a mistake, he can say the most vicious words to me."

"It has something to do with me. What did the commander say?" Xie Jue thought to himself. He guessed wrong. The lack of whipping does not mean there was no harm.

The sarcastic remarks and misunderstandings from the people he cares about most will hurt him even more.

The reason why Xie Jue indulged Fang Chuning was that no matter how provocative Fang Chuning was, except when he wanted to cut off all the hurtful words he said in Kyoto, he had always restrained himself and never said any harm.

Because he knew how many cynicism Fang Chuning had suffered since childhood.

"You don't need to know those ugly words." Fang Chuning spread his hands, "It's boring."

"You're talking about this, you deliberately make me feel bad, and you won't say anything anymore?" Xie Jue wanted to scold him, but couldn't bear it.

Fang Chuning raised his head and asked with a little grievance in his eyes, "You feel sorry for me, why don't you hug me?"

Xie Jue secretly thought, you are in the hot spring pool with no clothes on, why don't you hug you? Don't you have any idea? But Fang Chuning just looked at him faintly, that kind of aggrieved and sad look that was the most difficult to judge Xie Jue. Xie Jue was cold and stubborn towards others and insisted on going his own way. No matter what he said, it was useless. .

But Fang Chuning. He was a soft-spoken man, and Fang Chuning had tried and failed to pretend to be pitiful with him.

The water in the hot spring pool was surging. Xie Jue took a few steps forward and hugged him. Fang Chuning rested her chin on his shoulder, "Actually, even if you don't ask, I don't feel aggrieved at all."

"I know." Xie Jue patted his back. There was a vertical and horizontal scar on his back. It was a penetrating wound that protected him on the Beiman Snow Mountain that year. The blood flowed non-stop and the skin and flesh turned over. Fei, he almost thought that Fang Chuning was going to bleed to death, so even if he wanted to break up with him again, Xie Jue would be hesitant once he remembered what they had experienced. They had been dependent on each other for life and death several times, and no one in the world was better than Fang Chuning. Ning is more spiritually connected and closer to him.

It was almost an instinct. He was so emotionless, but every time something happened to him, he instinctively wanted to pity him. He became like a normal person, able to feel joy, anger, sorrow and joy.

"Tingfeng, don't want me, okay?" Fang Chuning asked softly, "What should I do if you don't even want me?"

"I'm holding you to reassure you that you have been wronged by the commander, don't push yourself too far." Xie Jue reminded him coldly that pushing yourself to the limit is the most similar characteristic between Fang Chuning and Xie Xun.

Once you agree to a condition, he will come up with even more extreme conditions.

Eating away at your bottom line step by step.

"Oh..." Fang Chuning was a little disappointed, he was so pitiful, Tingfeng was still so hard-hearted, but Xie Jue regretted not letting Ying Liu go find out what the commander-in-chief and Fang Chuning had talked about.

To be honest, his curiosity is not that big, but when it comes to identifying objects, his desire to control everything about the person in his arms is very strong. Every word and deed, what he said, what he did, who has been wronged by him, He wants to know.

He knew clearly that no one else could interfere in the matter between Fang Chuning and the Marshal and his son. The person who tied the bell had to untie it, but he had a desire to rush to the Marshal to defend Fang Chuning.

He knew this was wrong.

Reason is restrained and emotions are out of control.

At the bottom of the hillside, Lin Xiao and Zhang Boxing happily walked to the hot spring pool with their changes of clothes in their arms. As they walked, Zhang Boxing told Lin Xiao about the benefits of the hot spring pool.

But as soon as they reached the hillside, they were stopped. Xie Jue's Ying Liu suddenly rushed in front of them like a black shadow. Zhang Boxing was startled and subconsciously hid behind Lin Xiao.

Ying Liu was so fast that he turned into an afterimage.

"Two generals, stop."

Lin Xiao pulled the frightened Zhang Boxing, glared at him, and turned to salute Ying Liu, "Zhang Boxing and I want to wash up. There is a hot spring pool there, why are you stopping us?"

Ying Liu said, "The prince is here, you can come back later."

"The pool is very big. It doesn't matter if the prince is here, and we won't disturb the prince." Zhang Boxing said, thinking about how there are so many rules in the mountains and countryside?
"Yes, we won't disturb the prince. Otherwise, if you send a message, maybe the prince will agree."

This is how soldiers wash themselves in the field.

Ying Liu stood like a stick in front of them and communicated that that was impossible.

He is not stupid!

"Okay, how long does it take, Your Majesty? We'll come back later. Give us an hour at the head office. We'll wait here."

Ying Liu said, "You guys... come back at midnight."

"What, the third watch?" Zhang Boxing was speechless. The sun had just set. Why did the prince want to stay here for so long? Zhang Boxing said, "I was so exhausted after soaking in the hot spring for half an hour. Why did the prince take so long?"

Lin Xiao was also confused. Originally, he and Zhang Boxing wanted to wait here. Who would soak in the hot spring for so long?

"Please come back!" Ying Liu had no expression on his face, and he was extremely worried. What would happen if the prince and Fang Da suddenly went down the mountain and met each other? Are these two careless? Why don't they get out of here?
"I'll wait here. You shadow guard is very arrogant. The hot spring is obviously so big. I've seen it. It won't be a problem to accommodate a few more people. You drove us away without even saying a word. It's very rude, Your Majesty. It's impossible to be so overbearing, we have to wait for an explanation!" Zhang Boxing also got angry, why!
