"I feel a little aggrieved now."

Shen Leng glanced at Ye Liuyun behind the desk, who squinted his eyes and smiled: "Do you think it's a loss?" ”

Shen Leng let out a long breath: "With my military merits, except for two damned people, I really lose." ”

He looked at the teacup on the table, the heat felt unreal, the world was a little unpredictable, he was obviously in it, but he felt that there were many things that many people should not coexist with him.

"Do they deserve to die?"

Shen Leng asked.

Ye Liuyun nodded: "Damn." ”

He glanced at Shen Leng with some concern: "In fact, there are many things in this world that are not as simple as we think, and we take a detour for a good goal, and even pay sacrifices.......

Shen Leng snorted and laughed: "Mr. Ye is afraid that I can't open it?" ”

"You just said you felt wronged."

"It's definitely a loss, after all, it's a credit for my real sword and gun in exchange for two damned people to die."

Shen Leng looked at Ye Liuyun and said seriously, "But they died." ”

He leaned back to sit more comfortably: "The damned man is dead, what could be more satisfying?" ”

Ye Liuyun thought for a while: "No." ”

Shen Leng shook his head: "No, yes, for example, if you feel sorry to go and give me some gifts, I will be more satisfied because I got your gifts." ”

Ye Liuyun's eyes narrowed slightly: "Go out and turn left, thank you." ”

Shen Leng: "When you go out, turn left is the wall." ”

Ye Liuyun sighed: "I'm still worried that you have a knot in your heart. ”

Shen sneered: "Mr. Ye thinks I've suffered a loss, and Your Majesty also thinks I've suffered a loss, didn't I earn it?" ”

There is great wisdom in saying this.

Ye Liuyun pondered for a moment and then snorted: "Yes, I earned it." ”

He filled Shen Leng with some tea: "The affairs here in Jiangnan Province have been waiting for you to come, if Your Majesty has no will, I will also let you come, people can't be too full, this is an attitude...... People like the old dean always make themselves look stingy and greedy for money, the general Pei Tingshan always makes himself look arrogant, and the general of the forbidden army, Yuan Shu, gives people the feeling that he is lazy, he is too lazy to lead the troops to train and lazy to deal with military affairs, so good people really don't know their shortcomings, right? ”

He handed the teacup to Shen Leng: "Because they know that the more they reach a certain height, they must not be too full, if a person like Pei Tingshan is not wrong at all, all the credits add up, and it is not enough to be the title of Duke of Guo...... You understand that, you're smarter than most people. ”

Shen Leng shrugged his shoulders: "I'm not as complicated as Mr. Ye thought, what do the people I care about want me to understand, I try my best to understand, if the people I don't care about want me to understand, why should I understand?" ”

Ye Liuyun looked at Shen Leng's eyes and shook his head: "Actually, this is your biggest imperfection, you attach too much importance to feelings, and you may make mistakes because of your feelings." ”

Shen Leng didn't want to argue.

"Or change the subject?"

The moment Shen Leng's eyes narrowed slightly, Ye Liuyun had an urge to send off guests, of course, he knew that since Shen Leng's big Buddha was invited, it would be difficult to send it away, so he had an urge to flee quickly.

"I think it's about the same today."

Ye Liuyun said politely: "You are also tired for a day, otherwise go back early to rest, if you have anything to say, you can talk about it tomorrow." ”

Shen Leng: "Be sincere." ”

Ye Liuyun: "I don't want to listen to ......"

Shen Leng: "But I want to say." ”

Ye Liuyun: "Don't be too ......"

Shen Leng's face became a little sad again: "You also said just now, I am a loss, you think I am a loss, Your Majesty also thinks I am a loss, I am not that kind of loss."

The people who want to get it back, you know, I've never been that kind of person. ”

Ye Liuyun: "Hehe." ”

Shen Leng said: "I'm just a person who has something to say, and my heart is straightforward....... Look at you, why do you have such a skeptical expression. ”

Ye Liuyun: "I only doubt you. ”

Shen Leng: "What about friendship?" ”

Ye Liuyun: "As long as you don't say anything today, the friendship will last forever." ”

Shen Leng: "I'm upright...... If I'm not mistaken, when you gathered those adults together to talk about the case today, you asked Guo Xiaoniu how much silver was in the silver vault of the Dingtang County Cemetery, and Guo Xiaoniu replied that it was more than 800,000 taels? I also heard that Lou Yu's family has a million taels of cash alone? ”

Ye Liuyun yawned: "Suddenly a little sleepy." ”

Shen Leng: "I don't want much." ”

Ye Liuyun: "You shouldn't have to ......"

Shen Leng said seriously: "In this way, I will also be honest...... The reason why I am willing to come is not only because Your Majesty wants me to come, Mr. Ye, you also want me to come, but more importantly, I hope to ask for 100,000 taels of silver for the bereavement of the 4,000 soldiers and brothers who were slaughtered by the Sabbatarians in the country of Rilang. ”

He looked at Ye Liuyun's eyes: "Draw out 100,000 taels of greedy silver from the confiscation, 4,000 people, 25 taels of silver each, how?" ”

Ye Liuyun slowly exhaled: "After returning to Beijing, I will help you say it in front of Your Majesty." ”

Shen Leng snorted and said very seriously: "I personally want three thousand taels, and it is inconvenient for me to ask His Majesty, after all, my military exploits will be deducted because of the stoning of Li Shengxian and Dai Tong, and I will be fined if I don't do it, I don't know how many years I have been fined, but I can take three thousand taels personally, but I don't want to take it, because this is the silver I want the court to pay." ”

Ye Liuyun asked, "What is it used for?" ”

"In the country of Rilang, I will set up a statue of Dewey and 4,000 soldiers who died in battle, and the stone tablet will also work, and the stone will be good."

He said word by word: "I have calculated, three thousand taels is about the same, I am not short of three thousand taels, and I am not afraid to say that I am not short of three thousand taels, but I think this silver will have to be paid by the court." ”

Ye Liuyun nodded: "I'll tell Your Majesty." ”

He asked Shen Leng, "Is there anything else?" ”

Shen Leng shook his head: "It's gone." ”

Ye Liuyun was silent for a long time and said, "If you had said it earlier, I would have promised you, after all, you really lost." ”

The corners of Shen Leng's mouth raised: "It's not a loss, it's really not a loss." ”

He let out a long breath: "Actually, there was originally another request, after thinking about it, I can do it, so I won't let Mr. Ye bother Your Majesty, in fact, it doesn't hurt to tell you...... I know that Bai Xiaotang is out of the Jianghu book, and the best one that has sold so far is the one of Lord Han, right, I want Bai Xiaotang to publish ten volumes in a row and write about our brother soldiers. ”

Shen Leng turned his head to look out the window: "Ten volumes are enough, so that the people can know more about the soldiers." ”

Ye Liuyun was silent for a long time, then got up and bowed to Shen Leng: "This worship represents myself." ”

After finishing speaking, he bowed down again: "This bow, I will do it for Your Majesty." ”

Shen Leng was startled and quickly got up.

Your Majesty is Your Majesty, how can Your Majesty worship him? That's why Ye Liuyun said I thank you for Your Majesty.

Ye Liuyun straightened up: "You don't have to worry about Bai Xiaotang's battle roster, I will hand it over to Han Zhaozhi after I return to Beijing, and Bai Xiaotang only needs one sentence on his side." ”

This time, Shen Leng leaned over and bowed: "Thank you." ”

He got up and smiled: "There's nothing else, I'm going to go to Anyang dock early tomorrow morning to see the ship, if nothing else, I'll have to rush back to Chang'an after staying for a day, I'm afraid I won't be free for a while after I arrive in Chang'an, please Mr. Ye." ”

Ye Liuyun sat down: "I'll write to Han Zhaozhi now." ”

Shen Leng clenched his fists: "I'll go back first." ”

Ye Liuyun couldn't help but ask after all: "Shen Leng, why don't you think about yourself more?" ”

Shen Leng stopped and glanced back at Ye Liuyun: "It's not that I don't want to, but I am afraid when I think about it, when I was a child, Mr. Shen said to me that if a person cares too much about himself, he will lose more, and at that time, he didn't understand just to let himself remember every word of Mr. Shen, but now that he understands, he is really afraid...... I don't have much, I can't lose it. ”

Watching Shen Leng leave, Ye Liuyun thought about every word of Shen Leng's sentence just now.

He didn't have much, so he didn't dare to lose anything.

Ye Liuyun suddenly felt a pain in his heart, thinking of him when he was a child...... He is an orphan of the war, although the local government will adopt him, but he is careful to care about everyone's attitude, to care about everything he has, because he knows that when his parents are gone, he has almost nothing, and there is really not much left except for his own life.

And because of these concerns, they will become more speculative about other people's minds.

Shen Leng is not the same.

Ye Liuyun closed his eyes, and seemed to see himself when he was young, curled up in the corner in the room that belonged to him in the Salesian Workshop of the official mansion, not daring to raise his head every night, burying his head deep between his legs, the wind outside was like a ghost crying wolf, but it was still a Salesian Workshop, and Shen Leng lived in the sheepfold-like place in Boss Meng's house.

The people who take care of them in the government, every word and deed, every look, Ye Liuyun has to figure it out, forcing himself not to make mistakes, it is not because he is afraid of offending people, but because he is afraid of losing the people who are still taking care of him, and he doesn't want to make the people who take care of him disgusted with himself, or that sentence, there are really not many things that can be had.

If he hadn't lived during that time, maybe he wouldn't have cared so much about every one of his cares later.

Shen Leng came out of the Daofu compound and looked at Chen Ran, who was leaning on the carriage and waiting for him: "Is it cold?" ”

Chen Ran shook his head: "It's not cold, have you eaten?" ”

Shen Leng said: "I should ask you, I just came out of Lord Ye's mansion and naturally ate it." ”

Chen Ran raised his right hand and shook it, it was a paper bag, and in the paper bag was half a leftover chicken.

He handed it to Shen Leng: "The old rules, I left you a small half." ”

Of course, the half without the chicken butt.

Shen Leng got into the car, carrying the half of the chicken, Chen Ran followed him and asked, "Is it a big loss this time?" ”

Shen Leng: "It's a big profit." ”

Chen Ran pouted: "I don't have any credit for killing Rilang, and I have to go back to be punished, I can't even figure out what you earned." ”

Shen Leng opened the paper bag, tore off the chicken leg and took a bite: "I made a lot of money." ”

He looked at Chen Ran: "Earned it...... The glory and dignity of the brothers. ”

Chen Ran was stunned.

Shen Leng looked at the chicken in his hand: "This time it's not good, the taste is bland." ”

Chen Ran looked at Shen Leng's eyes, and then looked at the half of the chicken: "Leng Zi...... Let's go buy a few hot steamed buns to eat, I want to eat them. ”

Shen Leng put down the paper bag and looked out of the carriage window: "I'm afraid it's not sold at this hour, I'll steam a pot for you when I go back." ”

Chen Ran suddenly hugged Shen Leng, and he cried out without knowing why.

Shen Leng let Chen Ran cry, and Chen Ran cried for a while before rubbing his nose and tears on Shen Leng's shoulder: "I miss Lao Du." ”

Shen Leng lowered his head, his hands trembling.

"I want to, too."
