"Say, showing such an eager look in front of Father-in-law Xu, what do you need me to help you with?"

Shen Yan and Xu Sanyuan accompanied Xia Yuanxu all the way outside Xia Yuanxu's mansion, a touch of pleading appeared in Xia Yuanxu's eyes, signaling Shen Yan to stay, although Shen Yan didn't want to expose his relationship with Xia Yuanxu in front of Xu Sanyuan so early, but Xia Yuanxu's eyes obviously showed a trace of anxiety, and in desperation, he had to say to Xu Sanyuan that he wanted to know about the situation of the Eighteenth Prince's Mansion, and it was also convenient for him to better grasp the Jinyi School.

When Xu Sanyuan heard Shen Yan's words, a hint of deep thought appeared in his eyes, and he originally wanted to accompany Shen Yan in, but he thought that he had been delayed in the Shen family compound for some time, and he should also enter the palace, so as not to worry about the emperor. In addition, Shen Yan's character is worthy of his trust, Shen Yan and Xia Yuanxu will not make any bad things when they get together, at most, Xia Yuanxu followed Shen Yan to Lingnan, and felt that Shen Yan could be trusted, so he wanted Shen Yan to help him get an idea, and he could turn a blind eye to this matter, besides, the emperor also said that after the eighteenth prince returned to Beijing, there was anything to consult Shen Yan.

Therefore, a knowing smile appeared in Xu Sanyuan's eyes, nodded slightly, and turned to leave.

After Shen Yan looked at Xu Sanyuan's figure and left his sight, he turned his head, glanced at Xia Yuanxu, and said helplessly.

"Shen Yan, do you know, the Jinling front army was defeated, and the defeat was very miserable, 50,000 troops experienced the first battle of Xiangzhou Mansion, the remnants of the Jinling front army were less than 20,000, and the original good situation was buried by the pride and arrogance of General Luo Bing, I was very afraid, especially after General Luo led the remnants of the army to retreat to Lingnan, no less than 100,000 White Lotus Sect also followed to Lingnan." When Xia Yuanxu said this, a trace of timidity and fear still flashed in his eyes.

"You once told me that five times the strength of the army can attack the army trapped in the city, and the head of the White Lotus Sect also knows this art of war, so he frantically attacked the southern city wall of Lingnan, but I don't know why, after attacking for more than an hour, the head of the White Lotus Sect actually took the initiative to retreat, coupled with the brave resistance of the remnants of the former army of Jinling, the county seat of Lingnan was finally saved."

"Afterwards, I found out why the head of the White Lotus Sect gave up his advantage and chose to retreat, it turned out that the head of the White Lotus Sect learned that the two forces outside Lingnan City were easily defeated by you, and the news that the dark piles in the city were uprooted by you, the head of the White Lotus Sect had different opinions, one side seemed to be crazy, regardless of the casualties of the White Lotus Sect soldiers, and wanted to completely take Lingnan and avenge those dead companions. On the other hand, they are much calmer, worried that you are still in Lingnan City, or leading the army to ambush outside the city. ”

Xia Yuan humbly talked about the war that happened in Lingnan, and a trace of panic appeared in his eyes, as if the war was still happening around him.

"Eighteen princes, please cheer up, if you can't get out of this haze, the ambitions and ideas in your heart will eventually become a mirage, become a bubble, if you want to realize the ambition in your heart, you should bravely defeat your own demons." Shen Yan obviously felt that Xia Yuanxu's body was trembling a little, his eyes looked hollow, and his face was a little pale, seeing Xia Yuanxu's demeanor, Shen Yan stood up violently, and punched Xia Yuanxu's chest, and Xia Yuanxu's eyes were a little pale.

"Thank you." Xia Yuanxu was blinded by Shen Yan, a touch of surprise appeared in his eyes, and then he obviously felt that his spirit was much better, and there was more brilliance in his eyes, and he glanced at Shen Yan, and a trace of gratitude appeared on his face.

"I can understand your mood and experience, but there are some things, we don't have anyone around us to talk to, we have to learn to confide in ourselves, and constantly vent our dissatisfaction and some negative things, otherwise, after a long time, people will either become decadent, or people will become collapsed." Shen Yan shook his hand gently, a touch of sincerity appeared in his eyes, looked at Xia Yuanxu's eyes, and said softly, as if to tell Xia Yuanxu: What you lack is the lack of an object to talk to.

"Shen Yan, my father summoned me back to Jinling, there should be a lot of questions he wants to ask me, but I don't know how to answer?" Hearing Shen Yan's open-hearted enlightenment, Xia Yuanxu's mood was much better, and a faint smile appeared on his face, and then a trace of sorrow flashed in his eyes.

"This can't be run, but the question that the emperor wants to ask you, it's not difficult to guess, it's nothing more than the reason for the failure of the Jinling front army, and the current situation of the White Lotus Sect after the defeat of the Jinling front army, at most, plus asking about your gains in Lingnan." Hearing Xia Yuanxu's worry, a bright smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, and he said lightly.

"I can think of these questions, but I don't know how to answer them." A hint of hesitation flashed in Xia Yuanxu's eyes.

I don't know how to answer, how do I say this? General Mo Feiluo looked for you when you returned to Jinling, hoping that you could help him hide something? Shen Yan heard Xia Yuanxu's words, and a flash of realization appeared in his eyes.

"Hmm." Hearing Shen Yan's speculation, a flash of light flashed in Xia Yuanxu's eyes, and he nodded slightly.

"Then do you want to keep yourself, or do you want to keep General Luo?" Shen Yan's eyes flashed with a look of confidence.

"Nonsense, of course he wants to keep himself, but Mr. Luo once said that if he can help him round the field, when he returns to Jinling, he will be grateful to me, and even, he can form an alliance with me under the city." Hearing Shen Yan's question like an idiot, a trace of doubt flashed in Xia Yuanxu's eyes, and then he said helplessly.

"So, you're intrigued." A smile flashed in Shen Yan's eyes.

"Of course I am excited, I don't have any foundation, and suddenly there is a general soldier in the Jinling Fifth Army who extends an olive branch to himself, it's strange that I'm not moved." Xia Yuanxu didn't seem to be embarrassed at all about his heartbeat.

"But have you thought about it, why does Mr. Luo want to convey sincerity to you? Or what value do you have to him? On the premise that he needs your help, it can even be said that as long as you can help him successfully complete this field, he can be safe and sound, and you can get his sincerity. The corners of Shen Yan's mouth lifted slightly, revealing an indifferent smile.

"Let me ask you again, once Mr. Luo successfully retains his position, is it still necessary for him to convey his sincerity to you, don't forget, Mr. Luo has been wandering among the princes for so many years, and he has never made a clear statement, but why did he suddenly express his stance to you when he was in Lingnan, do you have the strength to win him out?"

"You mean, he's using me." Xia Yuanxu heard Shen Yan's words, and a trace of annoyance flashed in his eyes.

"Utilization? I can't talk about it. In fact, with General Luo's personality, he will definitely not just use you to round the field for him, there must be other ways, after all, he has mastered the Jinling front army for so many years, and he also has enough prestige and connections in the army. Therefore, he does not show absolute trust in you, or rather, his hope is not only on you. Shen Yan's bright eyes showed a touch of indifferent confidence, and he looked at Xia Yuanxu, who had frustration on his face, and said softly.
