Shen Leng looked at the second prince, and the second prince was also looking at him.

"Brother......

The second prince suddenly saw the fear in Shen Leng's eyes, he had never seen such a strong fear in Shen Leng's eyes, it was not a fear of life and death, it was a fear of something else, maybe emotion, maybe truth, maybe life.

"Brother is not a prince, but also a brother."

The second prince added another sentence later, although there was some embarrassment like covering his ears and stealing the bell, but the two of them breathed a long sigh of relief at the same time.

"Dear Master."

The second prince lowered his head: "I'm sorry." ”

Shen Leng shook his head: "I'm not sorry, why does Your Highness apologize." ”

"It's fine."

The second prince didn't seem to dare to look at Shen Leng's eyes anymore: "Father asked me to follow you, not only to learn the various abilities that should be possessed, but also how to be a person, my father often said, if I learn to be a man with you, then my father will be satisfied with me, and my father also said that being an official depends on Lai Cheng, and being a person depends on Shen Leng." ”

Shen Leng's heart warmed, he didn't expect His Majesty to say such a thing.

"I've heard that a lot of people have a lot of brothers and sisters."

The second prince still lowered his head and spoke, clutching his clothes, which had been wrinkled out with a lot of folds.

"But I don't know what it's like to have a lot of brothers and sisters, and my father only has three ...... Two children, me and the eldest brother, the eldest brother has actually always treated me very well, when I was a child, I liked to stick to the back of his ass, no matter what he went to do, I stuck to him, I remember one time he ran in front of me in order to avoid me, I chased after the back, as a result of the turn I hit the tree, the eldest brother was frightened, ran back and hugged me, saw that I was fine, he blamed himself and said that he would never avoid me again, and then he also cut down the tree with his own hands, because he cut down the tree and was scolded by his father, but he didn't care, he said that he would never hit you again in the future, He was scolded by his father, and he was not afraid. ”

The eyes of the second prince were slightly moist: "I have always felt that it is a very beautiful thing to have an elder brother, no matter what danger there is, my brother is in front of me, I want to eat the fruit of the tree, knowing that I want to eat it, the eldest brother will carry me to pick ......"

He looked at Shen Leng: "So I must stay, I must have a lot of credit, I want to use my credit to exchange my eldest brother's life." ”

It doesn't sound like the thoughts that a boy of this age should have, but Shen Leng suddenly woke up, isn't this actually a very naïve thought? If His Majesty really wants to move the prince's life, the second prince can't get it back with any kind of credit, and his current thoughts are as if the eldest son made a mistake, and the younger son took his favorite toy and handed it to his father and said, I'll give you my toy, don't you beat my brother, okay?

He was still simple.

Shen Leng let out a long breath: "You will definitely succeed." ”

The second prince smiled: "You don't have to coax me. ”

He raised his head and glanced at Shen Leng: "I know how naïve my ideas are, but what else can I do?" I am a royal child, I have been asked to learn too many things since I was a child, whether I understand it or not, these things will be forced into my head, what I think when I am seven or eight years old is definitely different from what other people's children think when they are seven or eight years old, now I am thirteen years old, if I think the same thing as other children when they are thirteen years old, then I am a failure. ”

A boy his age had such a bitter face that it was distressing.

"Dear Master, have you ever thought about what it would be like to have brothers and sisters?"

"Me?"

Shen Leng looked around: "I have many brothers

Younger siblings. ”

"It's not soldiers, it's people who are really related by blood."

"Nope."

Shen Leng immediately replied, quickly, very resolutely.

The eyes of the second prince flickered, and a touch of sadness flashed for a moment.

"If, I mean if."

"If not."

Shen Leng got up: "Chen Ran, send His Highness down to rest." ”

Chen Ran came over immediately, and the second prince also got up and looked at Shen Leng: "I have always felt that it should be good if I can live like an ordinary person's family, when I go out, my parents will hold my hand, and when I am tired, my brother will carry it, but ......"

"No, no."

Shen Leng looked at the second prince and said seriously: "What you are thinking about now is just adding trouble to yourself, you just said that you want to protect the people you care about, then make yourself stronger, and one day because of your existence, no one will dare to offend anyone related to you, that is success." ”

The second prince nodded: "I know." ”

He walked away, walked out a few steps and turned back to say something, Shen Leng had already turned around, he looked at Shen Leng's back, took a deep breath, and then shouted: "Dear Master, you have been teaching me, always, and I want to change my name, I have decided to recognize Sister Chayan as my righteous sister, and you are my brother-in-law, so it's not bad for me to call you brother, right?" ”

Shen Leng's footsteps stopped, and his shoulders trembled slightly.

"Nope."

Shen Leng didn't look back: "Go and rest." ”

"Oh."

The second prince sighed, and it was difficult to hide the loss in his eyes.

Soon after he left, Han Zhaozhi came over and handed Shen Leng a pot of wine: "Talked about something that shouldn't be discussed?" ”

"Nothing."

Shen Leng denied it when he turned the wine jug.

"You're not a liar, even if you're shameless, but you don't lie."

Han Zhaozhi walked up to him and stood side by side: "Speaking of which, His Highness is only thirteen years old, and the idea of a thirteen-year-old child will not be complicated, I just suddenly understood that it is I who think about His Highness too complicated and not His Highness himself, he is just a child who wants to make his family complete." ”

"Family, Complete ......"

Shen Leng muttered and repeated.

"Lou Ranren is back!"

At this time, the soldiers on the watchtower shouted, a large area of Lou Ran people in the far canyon was driven back by the fire, the mountain fire in the west has burned very much, Lou Ran people can not rush out from the mouth of the canyon, the only way for them to survive is to rush to the magic mountain pass occupied by the Ning people, even if the fire burns the wooden building of the city pass, but as long as it is on the city wall, it will not be burned to death, nor will it be smoked to death.

"Prepare for battle!"

Shen Leng shouted, and he strode to the front of a bed crossbow: "We are more terrible than fire!" ”

With a military order, the feather arrows on the city wall were densely put down, in addition to Shen Leng's more than three hundred personal soldiers, Han Zhaozhi led hundreds of internal guards and people from the Tingwei Mansion, and the feather arrows and heavy crossbows poured down the city, and the Lou Ran people who were close to the city wall were immediately overturned.

"The smoke is coming."

The lookout shouted hoarsely, and behind those Lou Ran people, the black smoke gushing out of the canyon was like a ghost fog coming out of the ground, rolling, as if there were countless unjust souls wailing in it.

The Daning soldiers on the city wall were ready, they soaked the cloth and covered their mouths and noses, and they were still sending arrows outward, which may have been a battle that had never been fought in the past, and neither side was killed

It's the protagonist, and the fires all over the mountains are.

Whew, black eyes rolled over and swept over the city wall, the people on the city wall subconsciously bowed their heads and lay down, the wind blew the smoke by, the smell of ash could be smelled through the wet cloth, most of the people leaned on the city wall to lower their bodies, some people were already lying on the ground of the city wall, no one knew how long the smoke would last, maybe until the mountain fire burned over, this winter will no longer be cold because of such a fire, but this temperature is not like it at all.

Fortunately, this place is empty, the mountain wind is urgent, the Daning soldiers who are crawling on the city wall are not completely shrouded, the wind is rolling through the thick smoke, and what sound can still be heard, Shen Leng raised his head and looked, there seemed to be something close to the city wall not far away, and there was a huge demon beast in the smoke that exposed its claws, stepping on the city wall and preparing to run over.

"Ladder!"

Shen Leng roared, got up and rushed towards the ladder.

The people of Lou Ran no longer have any way, they have no food and no winter clothes, they have to face not only the smoke of the fire but also hunger and cold, they know that there is food in the city pass, at least they can fill their stomachs, and they will die to fill their stomachs and die.

Shen Leng, who rushed forward, turned around in the middle of the rush, his body was low, his two hands supported the ground, and his body suddenly turned half a circle, his palms crossed the ground of the city wall, and his two feet kicked the handrails on both sides of the ladder, the strength of his feet made people feel extremely terrifying, and the ladder on the city wall was kicked backwards and fell out, and then there was the wailing sound of Lou Ranren.

"Drop the arrows!"

Shen Leng held on to the city wall, stretched out his arm and shot down with a repeater, everyone followed his example, and the shouts under the city wall became louder and louder, and there seemed to be countless wild wolves biting each other under the city wall.

"Drop the powder bag!"

Shen Leng shouted, lit the gunpowder bag in his hand and threw it down, and in the thick smoke, there was a ladder on the city wall, and the soldiers struggled to push the ladder away with a long hook, and the ladder and the people on the ladder fell down together.

There was a burst of smoke in the thick smoke under the city, and I don't know how many Lou Ran people were injured by the arrows and stones that were fired.

A strong wind blew, and the smoke passed, and the sky became clear again, but the smoke behind it was not far away.

Taking advantage of the good sight, all the Daning soldiers stood up and fired arrows frantically, leaning against the Lou Ran people under the city wall suffered heavy casualties, perhaps because this burst of smoke was blown over, the fear of the Lou Ran people weakened slightly, and was replaced by the fear of the Ning army, after seeing clearly that there were corpses all around, the Lou Ran people began to retreat, and the first wave of offensive ended like this.

The people on the city wall all leaned on it and gasped, ripped off the wet cloth covering their mouths and noses, and looked down to see that their nostrils were all black.

"How is His Royal Highness the Second Prince?"

Shen Leng shouted loudly.

"I'm fine!"

In a very conspicuous position on the city wall, the second prince, who covered his mouth and nose with a wet cloth, held Daning's battle flag flagpole with one hand: "I'm here!" ”

The child who has not yet grown up is holding the banner steadily, and his body is straight.

"God bless Daning!"

The second prince shouted.

"God bless Daning!"

The soldiers shouted along, and the loud voice shook the entire valley.

Shen sneered and turned his head to look elsewhere: "Are they all still there?!" ”

In the distance to the left of the city wall, Black Eyes raised his hand: "I'm here!" ”

Not far from him, Nie Ye raised his hand: "Here!" ”

On the right side of the city wall, Erben Daoist raised his hand: "I'm here!" ”

"Everybody's here!"
