Chapter 88

Shen Yan carried Liu Ling back to the house, closed the door, and did not turn on the lamp.By the light of the faint moon, he put her on the bed.Because of his ups and downs, Liu Ling felt a little uncomfortable, so she snorted softly, covered her face with the back of her hand, and turned around.She lay there like moonlight.

Shen Yan shook her, "Liu Ling."

"Huh?" She should be perfunctory.

But he stood by the bed and didn't speak.Liu Ling turned around, resting her head on her arms, raised her face, squinted her eyes, and looked at him hard.Shen Yan lowered his eyes. In his eyes, this girl with cheeks like Liyu was as glorious as clouds.She asked, "Do you want to ask me what I just said?"

Shen Yan seemed to smile, bent down, and covered her with a brocade quilt, meticulously.

Liu Ling looked at him for a while, her eyes hurt, so she closed them.Say it again, "I love you."

The moonlight shone on her hands covering her face. Those three words, light and focused, clean and concise, direct and gentle, were spoken in a light and light tone, which was soul-stirring.

Shen Yan smiled again, faintly.He said, "Sleep."

"Aren't you going to reply me?" Liu Ling asked, her voice was soft, smelling of alcohol, her words were a bit vague, muttering, but Shen Yan could hear clearly.

His voice was gloomy and gentle, "I'll tell you after you sober up."

"it is good."

Shen Yan went out, and the room was quiet.Liu Ling looked at the moonlight shining in front of the bed for a long time, turned around and turned around, but there was no more sound.

When she woke up the next day, Liu Ling sat on the bed in a daze, and suddenly remembered that Shen Yan said that he was leaving today.She quickly jumped up, put on her coat, washed herself with cold water, and ran outside the house.Today's sunshine is very good, and there are still unpacked firewood in the yard from last night. Liu Ling passed through and asked Yang Ye on the way, before seeing Shen Yan and Shen Yu at the entrance of the village.

The two cousins ​​are silent to each other, Shen Yu is standing against the tree, his posture is lazy, and he is in the painting.Rather than saying that he was seeing him off, it would be better to say that he was standing under the tree watching the scenery and watching Shen Yan leave by the way.

Different from Shen Yu's casualness, Shen Yan stood in front of the horse and combed the horse's mane.And with the help of the guards next to him, he packed dry food and other things into the luggage room.He was skilled, unhurried, and obviously did it a lot.When Liu Ling rushed over and took a breath, both Shen Yan and Shen Yu turned their faces and saw her.

Liu Ling stepped forward to see Shen Yan off.

There is nothing to give away, Shen Yan has already arranged everything properly.He led the horse out of the village, and Liu Ling followed him for a while.Shen Yan turned her head from time to time to look at her.

Liu Ling walked very calmly, like a peacock.She tilted her head, "What are you looking at me for? Have you finally discovered my beauty?"

Normally, when she teased him like this, Shen Yanding responded with teasing.But this time, Shen Yan just smiled and asked her, "Do you still remember what you said last night?"

"What did I say?" Liu Ling asked suspiciously.

"..." Shen Yan turned his eyes away, and his mood faded a bit.

The two walked together in silence, and when they parted, Shen Yan mounted his horse and looked down at Liu Ling.Suddenly he said, "I love you."

Liu Ling was stunned, and seemed to recall a moment in a trance.Before she had time to fully remember, Shen Yan bent down and kissed her on the eyes.As his breath approached, Liu Ling's heart was suddenly pulled into the air by him. When the sound of the horse's hooves disappeared, her face was still slightly red, and the heart that floated into the air hadn't yet come down.

After all, she remembered the conversation between the two last night——

"I'll tell you when you sober up."

"it is good."

Liu Ling lowered her head and smiled slightly.

She actually didn't want any response from Shen Yan, nor did she want to make an appointment with him for tomorrow.It's just that after witnessing the tragedy between Shen Yu and Xu Shijin, he suddenly felt something and wanted to express his feelings clearly.She had a lot to say to Shen Yan, but when it came to her mouth, she felt that there was nothing more straightforward than this sentence.

It doesn't matter whether Shen Yan says it or not.

He said, but Liu Ling was a little disappointed.

Mr. Shen is the kind of person who seldom confesses to you directly. His words are like promises, so he doesn't say them easily.He will show you and point out to you, but if it is too much like a promise, he will not say it.Liu Ling thought many times that when Shen Yan said "love" to her, what a beautiful scene and what a stirring confession he had planned for a long time.

In fact, in front of an unnamed village, Shen Yan said it casually as if before leaving.

Liu Ling thought: She will never hear this sentence again in this life, right?
What a loss.

Liu Ling drove Shen Yan out of her mind, accompanied Shen Yu, and continued to Pingzhou.But there were some problems on her side - she left Beijing in a hurry that day, and didn't bring a maid, not even a few extra clothes for washing.Not only the clothes, but also other things made Liu Ling a little inconvenient.

In addition to the mansion in Beijing, Lingxi wrote her a letter, saying that the old Hou Ye was seriously ill and started talking nonsense. Is the princess really not going back to Beijing to have a look?

Liu Ling was a little anxious. If she had known earlier, when Shen Yan left that day, she would have returned to Beijing with Shen Yan.

She was in a dilemma for a long time, and went to explain to Shen Yu, asking him to take Xu Shijin to Pingzhou first, and then go back to Beijing by himself, and then go to Pingzhou if there is no major incident.Shen Yu glanced at her: Without you, I am enough alone.You should go back and spend the New Year with your husband.

Liu Ling ignored Shen Yu's hint, she was accompanying Xiao Jin, not Shen Yu.

After Liu Ling made up her mind to return to Beijing, she was a little excited.When she thought of seeing her husband again after only a few days, she felt very happy.But after returning to Beijing, Liu Ling went to the Hou Mansion first to make sure that her grandfather was fine, and when she returned to her own mansion, she was surprised to find that Shen Yan was not there.

The maids told the princess, "Master Shen left Beijing yesterday."

"Why did you leave Beijing?" Liu Ling was surprised. When Shen Yan met her a few days ago, he didn't mention this matter.He also asked her if she would go back to Beijing for the New Year. At that time, Liu Ling thought that he wanted her to accompany him.

"That's it," Lingxi said very clearly, "There was something wrong with the war between the Great Wei and the Yigu Kingdom at the border. In winter, the food and grass were burned. The Ministry of War fought for the new distribution of food and grass. The seal was issued, and the ministers in the court did not really want to be responsible for this matter. However, Lord Shen asked the crown prince for a contract and was willing to leave Beijing. The prince was so happy, and fearing that Lord Shen would regret it, he immediately accepted the contract and ordered Lord Shen to go out immediately. So yesterday Only then did Master Shen come back and left again."

"Isn't he coming back for the Chinese New Year? When will he be back?"

"It should be after the Chinese New Year, one month later, Master Shen will return to Beijing."

"...How do you know so clearly? Shen Yan would actually tell you this?" Liu Ling doubted.

Lingxi sighed, "Because Master Shen told the maid."

Liu Ling felt numb, remembering what Shen Yan asked her that day.In connection with his behavior of going out of Beijing now, and his questioning that day, it is obvious that he wants to bring her with him.But what Shen Yan said at that time was too cryptic and understated, Liu Ling didn't understand what he meant.

So, they won't see each other for two months?

Liu Ling began to feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable.

She muttered to herself, "Two months... How many days do I have to miss him."

"Oh, by the way, before Master Shen left, he said that if the princess came back early, he could give this letter to the princess." Lingxi sighed in his heart, Master Shen was so clever that he even thought about this.

The letter Shen Yan left for her?
Liu Ling blinked, and she realized that she seemed to have never seen the style of the letter written by Shen Yan.When she lived in Jiangzhou last year, she wrote to Shen Yan, but at that time the two were having an argument, and Shen Yan never replied to her.So far, Liu Ling has not received a letter from Shen Yan.

The two had discussed the topic before.Because of Shen Yan's identity as Jin Yiwei, he may often go out of Beijing to perform tasks.Liu Ling does not interfere with his affairs, but is obsessed with writing letters.

Liu Ling said, "I don't like to read concise and concise letters. They seem to have no emotion at all. Mr. Shen, when you write to me in the future, you can't just write a few words. I write to you with enthusiasm, and I naturally hope that you will Respond to me with the same heart. I don't like to guess what kind of mood you are under that cold font. I am worried about you, and you should reply to me with the greatest sincerity."

Shen Yan said "Well", "But I usually go out of Beijing, so I'm not allowed to write letters." She was afraid of revealing her whereabouts.

"..." Liu Ling was full of heart...

Shen Yan put her arms around her shoulders and said with a smile, "Okay, I will find a way. Why don't you just write a letter? It won't make you panic."

So, what can Shen Meiren write to her to prevent her from being frightened?He didn't like to discuss official business with her, and writing letters, wouldn't it be full of love?

Liu Ling asked Lingxi to win the letter, eager to try, "I like reading this kind of letter the most."

Lingxi hesitated for a moment, and asked the maids to bring back a thick stack of letters, requiring three or four people to hold them.Liu Ling was taken aback by so many letters.

Her eyelids twitched, Shen Yan hasn't left the capital yet, the letter has been written for her?

"Master Shen said, after the princess comes back, three or four days, I will show the princess a copy." Being looked at by the princess with meaningful eyes, Lingxi immediately understood the princess' meaning and changed sides. The princess's. When the princess asked, I brought all the letters."

Satisfied, Liu Ling sat down and began to open the letter.

Eloquent and elegant, the font is handsome and flying, it really is not a few words.But it's not like Liu Ling thought, falling in love with her.

Shen Yan said: Before the mission is over, I don't want to talk about official business with you, and I don't want to expose my whereabouts, and I don't want to say something unnutritious to you.How to do it?

Liu Ling thought: Yes, what do you think?
Shen Yan: How about I talk about the scenery I have seen before.Zhongshan Xiushui, emerald eagles singing willows, the world of Jiangnan...

Liu Ling: ...

Shen Yan: Why don't we sum up the rules of our family, we don't seem to have discussed this issue.My take is as follows...

Liu Ling: ...

Shen Yan: There is no topic to talk about.Why don't I tell you a story?This is a good idea, I have a lot of stories here...

Liu Ling: ...

She became more and more expressionless, and finally covered the letter, holding her forehead to calm down—Shen Yan was completely teasing her.

That's not what they said.

She thought for a moment and continued to read the next one.

Shen Yan: You must think that I am teasing you, but that is not the case.My tasks are kept secret until they are announced.Even if I say it, I don't necessarily tell you the truth.I will teach you a way to see me from the font and strokes.for example……

Liu Ling: For example, if the font is scribbled, it means that you are in a hurry; for example, if you turn around leisurely, it means that you have a lot of time.For example, if your writing style is rough, it means that you are in a bad mood; for example, if your writing is smooth, it means that everything is fine on your side...

But the letters Shen Yan left for Liu Ling were very regular.Not completely safe, but not many surprises.Like a complete story, it has all the beginning, succession and transition, and it is very real.If Liu Ling hadn't come back too early, she would never have known.If Shen Yan hadn't left in a hurry and didn't give a complete account, Lingxi would not have shown all the letters to Liu Ling at once.

He was creating a real atmosphere, but Liu Ling already knew it was fake.

If Liu Ling reads these letters, she will miss him even more.What can I do then?
Liu Ling read Shen Yan's last letter to her: endure.

Liu Ling: ...

"Princess, is Master Shen's letter interesting?" Lingxi asked curiously, she saw the princess smiling with her chin resting on her hands.

Liu Ling raised her head and ordered Lingxi to put the letter away.After everyone went out, she sat in the room and meditated.

She felt that she was a little sorry for Shen Yan.

Because of Xiao Jin, she easily abandoned Shen Yan.He originally planned to take her away with him, and also wanted to celebrate the New Year with her.But now, there is nothing left.

Xiao Jin is very important, but Xiao Jin has Shen Yu to accompany her, not because she is indispensable.Because of Xiao Jin's accident, Liu Ling and Shen Yan had turned faces many times, both openly and secretly.Although they didn't say much, everyone in the mansion could feel the atmosphere of mutual silence, and the maid asked her carefully if she had quarreled with Mr. Shen.

Liu Ling didn't quarrel with Shen Yan, they were in a cold war.It's hard to say clearly about things like the Cold War.On rainy days, they stood under the eaves holding umbrellas, wanting to ask each other if it was cold, but they all went around tacitly.Just standing in the cold rain, silently stretching out an umbrella to the other party, but they were all drenched in water.

Liu Ling regretted a little: what happened to Xiao Jin, what did it have to do with Shen Yan?She shouldn't be angry with Shen Yan.

From afternoon to evening, Liu Ling thought about it for a whole night.When the maid entered the room the next day, she found the princess sitting at the desk, writing a letter.When they came in, Liu Ling's letter had almost been written and was starting to finish.

Liu Ling handed the letter to Lingxi, "Send it to Pingzhou, just say that I won't accompany them. Now I want to find Shen Yan even more."

There won't be any major incidents on Xu Shijin's side, and even if there are incidents, Shen Yu can handle them.That son is not a real idiot, his ability is just never shown to them.Shen Yan never cared about Shen Yu's affairs. From the beginning to the end, he never worried about Shen Yu's discrediting the family.That is to say, either Shen Yan's heart is too big, or Shen Yu's enough to handle everything well.

In fact, Shen Yu was able to get out of the prison this time, which is incredible in itself.Maybe His Majesty has other plans, but Liu Ling never believed in Shen Yu's good luck, it was completely accidental.

Eighty percent sure that Xu Shijin was safe there, Liu Ling went out of Beijing again, this time, going to find Shen Yan.When she returned to Beijing, she wanted to take away the maids and spend a comfortable new year in Pingzhou.But now she has no choice but to find that in order to catch up with Shen Yan, the maids are still not allowed to bring them.Not only could it not be taken, Liu Ling might have a much more difficult condition than going to Pingzhou.

After all, Shen Yan wanted to go north to the border, not to go on vacation.

On the way, Liu Ling discovered that Shen Yan and the others merged with an army from Fuzhou. After joining the army, the schedule was not as rushed as before.Liu Ling and all the guards chased after them within three days of galloping.

Liu Ling took the lead and was about to join the team, but was blocked by Yang Ye, "Princess, Mrs. Shen and the others are performing official duties, so it's not suitable for us to follow in?"

Liu Ling thought about it, indeed.The army was going to fight, and they caught up with a noble princess on the way. There was an extra woman in the team, who was still a stomach princess. A group of rough men would be in a hurry.If she went, it would be a complete mess.

Liu Ling had an idea, "You can't bring girls in the army in an open manner. You go and tell the general who leads the army, and say that I am willing to pretend to be a soldier, as long as I follow."

"Why don't you contact Jin Yiwei directly?"

"Give Mrs. Shen a surprise. The little soldier who accompanied him all the way turned out to be his wife. How touched he must be."

"...Yes." As a man, Yang Ye felt that Mr. Shen would not be moved.But after all, she is the princess' personal bodyguard, so she can do whatever the princess says.Guard Yang sighed: The princess chased a man, but it was really hard.

Hearing the arrival of the princess, who was also the newlywed wife of Shen Yan, the leader of the accompanying Jinyiwei, the general was frightened.He frowned, "Women can't appear in the ranks, it will cause disturbance to the soldiers."

"The princess will be taken care of by me, so the general doesn't have to worry." Yang Ye said calmly.

After all, the general couldn't hold back the princess, and besides, he also knew that Jin Yiwei didn't want to escort them all the way.Soon, when they take over, Jin Yiwei's mission will be over and he will leave on his own.After so many days of hard work, no big deal would happen if he thought about it, and besides, the person who came was Shen Yan's wife, the general still wanted to make friends with such a big man as Mr. Shen.

Liu Ling changed into a soldier's clothes in a novelty, and was sent to the cooking squad to help the chef and take care of the food for the whole group.

Liu Ling went happily.

In the military camp, that's the only thing she can adapt to, and she likes it better.Shen Yan has a bad stomach, and when he is with everyone, he eats even more irregularly.Liu Ling is very happy to have such an opportunity to take care of Shen Yan.

It's a pity that there are too few ingredients in the cooking club, so Liu Ling was in a hurry on the first day.She thought her cooking skills were terrible, but looking at the chef's open-ended cooking style - all kinds of dishes are messed up, washed and poured into the cauldron, add some water, and sprinkle the seasonings casually Sprinkle, and it boils like this.After cooking, no matter whether it is delicious or not, it is a big bowl for everyone.

Liu Ling couldn't eat it.

She tried to get better meals for the soldiers, but failed, and was taught a lesson by the chef.Liu Ling also knew that marching and fighting were like this, so she had no choice but to wait for Jin Yiwei's reply with a nervous heart.Jin Yiwei ate the same food as the soldiers, but didn't say anything.

After the chef took a break, Liu Ling also had a sore back, but she still couldn't bear it.She slipped back into the cooking room again, tried to find out the ingredients she could pick out, sneaked around, and re-fried a few dishes.When Xiaobing passed by, she asked someone to serve it, "Give it to Mr. Shen at the Jinyiwei side. Let's say it's a midnight snack."

"Have supper?" Xiaobing was pleasantly surprised.

Liu Ling groaned, and said slowly, "There are all the leaders, but there are no soldiers."

Disappointed, Xiaobing stretched his neck happily, "What about the other adults' meals? Shall I bring them together?"

Liu Ling's heart ached, "...You send this first, come back to me, and give you the other general's supper."

"it is good!"

Liu Ling could only return to the cooking class.

The next day, she was scolded by the chef in charge. People from the army spoke very rough.Crackling, ordinary girls will shed tears when they hear it.Liu Ling insisted on keeping a cold face, and under the other party's loud voice, argued with reason, saying that supper was necessary.

"What's the matter?" The general who was training troops passed by, seeing the excitement of the cooking class, he came to have a look.

When Liu Ling saw the familiar figures of Jinyi guards following the general, her heart skipped a beat and she hurriedly hid behind the hulking chef.

The chef let out a sigh, "Didn't you just speak well? Why didn't you say anything when the general came?"

Liu Ling was silent.

The general and Jin Yiwei have already arrived.Jin Yiwei watched indifferently, the general knew the inside story, and came to mediate, "Okay, old Yao, don't be in a hurry with a recruit..." He blinked anxiously. The soldier with the blacked-out face is actually a girl?That is clearly a bright and attractive girl, even pretending to be a man can't stop her natural beauty.

Seeing the general interrupting, Liu Ling kept hiding and remained silent, and the chef stopped the fire angrily, thinking that Liu Ling knew he was wrong.

As a result, that night, the supper was still prepared and delivered as usual.

Liu Ling insisted that since conditions permit, adults should enjoy as much as possible.She was articulate and not timid, so she pissed off the chef and went to the general to sue.I sued several times, which annoyed the general, but Liu Ling still went her own way.When Lao Yao came back that day, he looked at Liu Ling, the chef looked at him strangely, and hesitated to speak.

In the middle of the night, he sneaked into the kitchen and saw Liu Ling finished her work, sitting by the firewood outside the tent, rubbing her stiff arms.Old Yao hesitated and asked, "You...are you really a princess?" He was embarrassed, "Princess, how could you do this? I didn't mean it..."

Liu Ling said blankly, "It's okay. I'm here because I..." She suddenly saw a figure she was too familiar with, she felt nervous, and hurriedly hid in the tent, feeling her heartbeat.

The old Yao outside was puzzled, seeing Mr. Shen who had turned a corner in front of him, he seemed to be thinking, and came this way.He hurriedly assumed the posture of a soldier and greeted Shen Yan.

Shen Yan looked at the tent behind him, "Who was it just now?"

Liu Ling inside the door was nervous for a while: Shen Yan shouldn't see it, right?He obviously didn't look this way just now.

"Ah, it's just my little apprentice, no one else." Lao Yao was sloppy, but Shen Yan watched him coldly. As time passed, he was almost shocked to his knees by Master Shen's powerful aura.

Shen Yan said, "Call out and have a look."

"Ah..." Old Yao guessed that the princess didn't want to come out, and couldn't find an excuse.

When he racked his brains to think, the door curtain was lifted, and a thin figure came out holding a mountain of firewood.It was still very difficult, and she greeted in a rough voice, "Master, I still have to carry firewood, so let's go first." She pretended not to see Shen Yan.

Shen Yan stood aside, not moving much, watching the little soldier walk away awkwardly.

Seeing the princess's walking posture, Lao Yao found it really strange, so he coughed and explained to Mr. Shen, "He is like that. When he was young, he was sick and his legs didn't work well, so he walked like this. It's pathetic..." He even thought Make up a story about being disabled.

Shen Yan looked at him quietly without saying a word.

Lao Yao mopped his flushed face and gave a dry laugh. In Shen Yan's "I'll see how you make it up" look in his eyes, he couldn't continue.But he could forcefully argue, "Anyway, that's just my little apprentice, Mr. Shen, don't be so mediocre."

It happened that Jin Yiwei came to find Mr. Shen something to do, Lao Yao finally got rid of this difficult lord.He rubbed his brow with sweat, with a bitter face: How did the people in Jinyiwei talk to others?

That night, Liu Ling fell asleep leaning against the stove with her knees hugged like the previous nights.In the drowsiness, he suddenly knocked his head and woke up.

When she raised her head, she saw the moonlight pouring down, Shen Yan squatted opposite her, stretched out her hand, and paused in the air.

Liu Ling's heartbeat suddenly became uncontrollable, and her face flushed slightly.She dodged back in shock, and said in a rough voice, "You, you, what are you doing?"

"Passing by here, I heard you dozing off like thunder, so I'm here to give you a push in order not to disturb other people's rest." Shen Yan's expression was indifferent.

"..." Liu Ling's face was flushed red, and she barely restrained her eyes that wanted to stare at him: she won't fall asleep!
She stumbled, "I'm sorry."

Shen Yan watched her for a long time and stood up.

Liu Ling was still sitting on the ground, breathing a sigh of relief, thinking that he was finally leaving.But I heard a voice above my head, "Get up."

"Ah? Master Shen, what's the matter?"

"Go back with me."

"……why?"

Shen Yan lowered her head, looked at the little soldier sitting on the ground with averted eyes, and smiled softly, "I see you are very pleasing to the eye, and I want to have a long talk with you all night, is there any surprise?"

"...!" Liu Lingru was struck by lightning.

She was a little stunned, sitting on the ground, not knowing what to do.Hearing Shen Yan laugh, she was too familiar with his teasing laughter.

Liu Lingruo felt something, her heart skipped a beat, she jumped up suddenly, and ran in the opposite direction with the fastest reaction in her life.

Shen Yan moved faster than her, he directly lifted her collar from behind and dragged her back.Liu Ling struggled, and was tripped by him and fell to the ground. Her chest was already wrapped in a cloth. This time, the pain was so painful that she took a deep breath.She was completely overwhelmed by him, and her hot and hard body was pressed against her from above.He grabbed her waist with both hands and held her under his body.Liu Ling's legs were close together, and when he was struggling, he bent up and was directly held by his hands.

The person under Shen Yan is in a posture with both knees hugged and bent, like the posture of a baby in a mother's womb.

Shen Yan's teeth licked the cartilage on Liu Ling's ear, and Liu Ling's whole body was burned, and her momentum disappeared.

He turned her around and faced him face to face.

Liu Ling shivered, "What are you doing?" Her voice could no longer be contained.

The young man looked down at her, lifted her chin, and pressed his lips against her, "It really is you."

Liu Ling was about to cry: she knew how bad her image was now.The face was painted black, and the soldier's uniform made the body thin and dry, looking malnourished.In this way, Shen Yan can still kiss?
He not only kissed her, but also touched her clothes with his hands, which made her shiver and her whole body became hot.

There were guards coming and going a few steps away, and Liu Ling could still hear the snoring of soldiers sleeping in the tent next door, and even further away, there were soldiers who stayed up all night practicing.

But Shen Yan's hand was moving slowly against her skin!

"Shen Yan!"

"Ok?"

"You can't do this," Liu Ling whispered, showing a stiff smile, "How do I usually treat you? You should know, right?"

Shen Yan smiled and answered her, "It's okay."

"..." Liu Ling's words were suddenly blocked.

What is the answer of "still possible"?Under normal circumstances, ordinary people should be more polite, shouldn't they say "very good"?If he answered "yes", Liu Ling could negotiate terms with him.In the end, Shen Yan gave her a "fair", meaning, okay?

Liu Ling took a breath, okay, make do.

She was about to speak again in a low voice, when Shen Yan asked her, "Why didn't you find me when you came?"

"You let me bear it." Liu Ling was expressionless, she thought of Shen Yan's letter.

"..."

The two suddenly discovered that they were really the same, and no one should dislike the other.
