When the moon is in the sky, everything is silent, and when you step through the deep and remote path, you can only faintly hear the sound of the wind, but as the road gets deeper and deeper, people can vaguely see the faint lights flickering in the depths of the woods, and there are two or three slight voices.

Bai Qingyu stopped: "He's in front, you guys go."

The woods were empty, and although there were no beasts near the capital, it was dangerous to leave a girl's family standing here alone.

Shen Haoran's footsteps seemed to have taken root, and he also stood still.

Shen Haoran and Shen Zhiwen have been friends for many years, the two are familiar with each other, and they can understand the meaning of each other's expression with just a small movement, not to mention that when they were in the barracks, Shen Haoran expressed his heart for Bai Qingyu more than once......

Shen Zhiwen smiled slightly: "Then you can just wait here for a while, and I'll be back soon."

His back quickly disappeared into the shadows.

A hint of surprise flashed at the corners of Bai Qingyu's eyes, he turned his head to look at Shen Haoran, and said unexpectedly, "You just stay here?" Aren't you afraid that I will collude with Shen Ming to calculate you? ”

"Don't be afraid."

Against the backdrop of the moonlight, Shen Haoran's eyes sparkled.

"I'm sure the White Maiden isn't like that."

When he said this, Bai Qingyu felt uncomfortable for a while, how long had they known each other, and Shen Haoran actually believed in himself so much? It's a big heart.

Without waiting for her to complain, Shen Haoran smiled to himself, and said a little embarrassed: "White girl, you must think that what I said is very inexplicable, right?" I don't know how to explain this feeling to you, since the first time I saw you, my heart was out of control, although I haven't known you for a long time, but there is always a feeling that we are very familiar...... Maybe this is the fate of the legend. ”

“…… Hello naïve. ”

The words successfully provoked some of Bai Qingyu's memories, those past events were like objects covered with sand, once they were taken out and the sky was full of flying sand, they added a bit of desolation.

Bai Qingyu half-closed his eyes: "I'm leaving."

"Huh? Now? Looking at the dark night behind him, Shen Haoran frowned, "White girl, wait a little longer, let's go back together when His Highness comes back, it's too dangerous for you to go back alone at this big night." ”

Bai Qingyu guessed that he would react like this, and almost sighed: "I'm leaving Liang Kingdom."

Like five thunderbolts, Shen Haoran suddenly froze in place: "Bai, where are you going, white girl?" Will you come to Liang Country in the future? ”

To be honest, Shen Haoran couldn't accept this matter a little, he had lived for so many years, and he finally fell in love with a girl, but he had no chance to pursue it, there were too many things in his hands, and the siege alone made him exhausted, and there was no way to divide his energy to find Bai Qingyu to cultivate his feelings...... He thought that the days were long and that there would definitely be opportunities in the future, but it turned out that he was thinking too much.

Bai Qingyu clearly saw the loss in his eyes, but lowered his face and pretended not to see anything: "It shouldn't be."

"Then won't we even have a chance to meet in the future?"

"Hmm." Bai Qingyu's eyes drooped lower and lower, and the shadows of the branches and leaves covered her face, making it impossible to see her expression clearly, so she only heard her say indifferently, "There will be no time in the future." ”

Just when Bai Qingyu was talking to Shen Haoran, on the other side, Shen Zhiwen and Shen Ming had just met. Carefully calculated, the two have not seen each other for three years, and when the civil war had not yet begun, Shen Zhiwen deliberately avoided Shen Ming's secret development of power, saying that he was sick and did not even show his face, and Shen Ming was busy taking care of his own princess, and he never cared about this little highness, so their meeting today was the first time they had met in three years. Neither of them thought that it would be like this when they met again, and they were a little embarrassed for a while.

The two were relatively silent for a moment, and finally it was Shen Ming who spoke first.

"According to the seniority, you should call me Uncle Huang, right?"

Shen Zhiwen raised his eyes, although he was a little surprised by Shen Ming's similar words, he still respectfully shouted Uncle Huang.

In this way, the atmosphere between the two has eased a lot. Their relationship is not good when they are young, but now they are still opposites, and the greetings can naturally be dispensed with, plus Shen Ming wants to return to the palace as soon as possible, so he explained his intention straight to the point: "Bai Qingyu should tell you all my thoughts, right?" ”

"If it's about that position, the White Girl did make it clear, but I'm a little hard to understand, why did you make this choice?"

Shen Ming raised his eyebrows, and suddenly he was very curious about his image in the eyes of his nephew. He held the teacup and asked with a smile: "What kind of person am I in your eyes?" ”

"This ......." The person asked hesitated, as if he had too much to say, and he didn't know where to start for a while, so he fell into a difficult situation. Shen Ming couldn't help but smile, and in a trance, he seemed to be back in the past. At that time, he was just an idle prince, the throne was in good health, and he was not addicted to the art of cultivating immortals and alchemy, and his princess was also fine. At that time, his reputation and relationship with this nephew were far from being as bad as they are now, and all the changes started from the emperor's brother being suspicious of him and sending someone to secretly attack his wife and children.

Since Shen Zhiwen can't say it, then he himself is.

"In your eyes, I must be a sinister and cunning devil who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, even at the cost of killing ordinary people, right? I've done a lot of bad things and a lot of blood on my hands to get into that position, but have you ever thought that some of the people who died at my hands deserved to die? I'm not righteous, but I'm not as cruel as the legend suggests. ”

Shen Zhiwen half-lowered his eyes: "Uncle Huang, I know." ”

"If you know, it's good." It is rare for them to have this kind of time when they sit down and chat, without worrying about their status and status, and without planning and planning, Shen Ming has an urge to say a few more words.

In fact, he did.

"Have you seen my princess?"

"Of course I have seen it, when I was still in the palace, I met more than once." Shen Zhiwen was very impressed by her, because her words and deeds did not look like a normal person at all, but like an ignorant child, following Shen Ming's side all day long, he wanted to greet her several times, but the other party ran away as if he saw the devil.

Thinking of Shen Ming's infatuation as mentioned in the rumors, Shen Zhiwen suddenly had an extra possibility in his heart: "Is it difficult for you to ......."

Before he finished guessing in his heart, Shen Ming had already hooked the corners of his lips and nodded with a smile: "You kid, you're not too stupid." That's right, it's what you think, and we're going to meet today because of my princess. As soon as he talked about his sweetheart, Shen Ming's expression became a little softer, and it could be seen that he was really affectionate to the princess, "It is indeed a good strategy for you π to besiege the city with a large army, but I am not unprepared, my generals are waiting in the east, just wait for my order, they will rush to the capital to support." But half a month has passed since the siege of the city, and I have never given them any news. ”

Shen Zhiwen narrowed his eyes slightly, their original plan was to send a team to the east to delay Shen Ming's army, so that they would not come to support, but what they never expected was that all of this was in Shen Ming's calculations. Shen Zhiwen's gaze suddenly increased with a little admiration.

"Could it be that you have already thought of a way out and planned to give up from the beginning?"

Power is like an addictive poison, once ordinary people get it, it is difficult to put it down, Shen Ming is good, he put it down so simply, wasn't his purpose to be the throne in the first place?

Now that he has said everything, Shen Ming doesn't mind saying it more bluntly, he said calmly: "Everything I do is for my wife, the struggle for power is for her, and choosing to give up everything is also for her." She said she didn't like to be in the palace, so—"

Shen Zhiwen was dumbfounded, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Love beauty people don't love the country, he used to think that it only existed in legends or dramas, but he never thought that it could be seen in real life.

It is rumored that Shen Ming loves the princess to the core, and he did not even hesitate to give up his life for her, which does not seem to be an exaggeration! What an infatuation.

While admiring Shen Ming's resolute feelings, Shen Zhiwen gave the other party a kind reminder: "You have really decided?" ”

"Yes, it won't change again."

This decision is the result of Shen Ming's thinking for a long time, once his matter is decided, it will not be changed, and he promised that the princess will leave the Liang Kingdom, and he will definitely leave. He is not the kind of ruthless person, those subordinates who follow him, he has already arranged their whereabouts one by one, or to take refuge in Shen Zhiwen, or to leave the court to be an idle cloud and wild crane from now on, Shen Ming will not stop him, come to see Shen Zhiwen, this is the first step in his plan.

Shen Zhiwen hesitated: "Aren't you afraid that after you leave, I will wantonly wipe out those old departments of yours?" And the safety of you and the princess........ You've really figured it out. ”

"Of course."

Since the other party was so confident, Shen Zhiwen didn't say more, but asked him about the specific plan, and by the way, asked if he could help.

Shen Zhiwen said with a serious face: "I have long wanted to end this war. ”

The two discussed the follow-up plan carefully for a while, and it was not until the willow tops on the moon that they worked out the plan in detail.

"If there is no accident, my name will not appear in the Liang Kingdom in the future," Shen Ming's fingers tapped lightly on the edge of the table, and he said with a far-reaching gaze, "I hope that the Liang Kingdom under your rule will not disappoint me too much." ”

"Uncle Huang, rest assured, I will definitely return the people of Liang Kingdom to live in peace and happiness."
