Laughing at Chang'an

From that day on, the adjutant was the first to feel it—Li Shen and Geng Yan seemed to have entered the honeymoon period of their relationship.

First of all, Li Shen began to allow Geng Yan to wear clothes and walk out of the room, but there was only one style of clothes, which was specially customized by the clothing store under his name. It was simple, generous, and most importantly, only needed to pull a belt , you can take it off very quickly.

The adjutant invited a group of servants again, this time they went through a stricter screening to confirm that there would be no more spies mixed in, and these servants were also prohibited from entering and leaving the backyard, and even the functional structure of the entire Li Mansion was specially designed. The renovation was carried out, and the kitchen and warehouse originally located in the backyard were moved to the front yard.As for the adjutant, well, one day at noon, he heard that Li Shen was coming back for lunch, so excitedly went straight to the backyard to report his latest achievements, and he bumped into Li Shen and Geng Yan eating.

It's just that one eats above the table and the other eats under the table.

Seeing Geng Yan raised his head from Li Shen's crotch in astonishment, the adjutant finally came to his senses, let out a shrill scream, turned around and fled.At dinner, he sneaked and cautiously went to apologize to Geng Yan. Geng Yan smiled and said that it didn't matter, those who didn't know were innocent, but the adjutant never dared to run into the backyard without notification.

However, the shameless and happy life of Li Shen and Geng Yan soon came to an end. On the tenth day after the first batch of warships arrived in Chang'an, all the warships from Donghuang arrived and docked at the restored Yanpoyuan , a total of more than [-] ships.In the temporary staff department, the dispute between Bu Shi and Li Mubai about the north-south line finally came to an end. In the end, Bu Shi won. Everyone decided to work with the reinforcements from the Blood Empire to settle the Northern Expeditionary Army on the northern line.

Li Mubai shook his head and said: "So the most critical issue here is that once the Third Army is put on the northern front, Chang'an's defense will be empty. If the empire transfers the 30 imperial guards from the southern front to attack Chang'an, they will be entangled by the northern front. It will be difficult for the Third Army to return quickly, and Chang'an City will be very dangerous."

Bu Shi retorted: "However, if we attack the southern front, the number of the enemy and us is very different, and our number of warships is nearly half that of the empire. At that time, we will inevitably fall into a tug-of-war like the northern front, and both sides will fall into a bitter battle. Chang'an is the real emptiness."

So these two haven't fought enough until now, it's just that there is no time left for them to continue arguing, and they must come up with results and specific plans at this meeting.Because of the big cleanup a few days ago, there are few people who are qualified to sit here. From the general will, most of them support Bu Shi's theory of the northern line.

Although it takes a little risk, if they join forces with the blood empire's army, the Chang'an mercenaries never think that they have the possibility of losing on a battlefield where the number of enemies is similar.If you want to talk about why, because they are the strongest and most capable group of people in the world.

As long as the main army on the northern front of the empire can be defeated and the army of the allied blood empire can be liberated, the current passive position of Chang'an City in this war can be reversed in one fell swoop, and the initiative can be advanced, attacked, retreated, and defended.On the other hand, Li Mubai's southern line theory contained the attacks of the empire's northern and southern lines, but Chang'an was also held back by the opponent. The next step was a difficult see-saw and stalemate, and the strength of the northern and southern lines was far inferior In the empire, the situation is not good for Chang'an.

The result of the final vote was to support the northern line. Li Mubai seemed to have expected such a result long ago, and had no special reaction.However, even if they decided to support the northern line, it was impossible not to consider the safety of Chang'an City. Everyone analyzed the route of the Imperial Southern Army's return to Chang'an and the reaction time left for them, as well as the time that Chang'an City could last if it was attacked. The conclusion is that if the Imperial Legion on the northern front can be eliminated within ten days, or at least achieve at least one victory, weakening the combat power of the Imperial Northern Expeditionary Army to the point where the Blood Empire's army can finish it alone, then this time the strategy Even if it is successful.

"It doesn't sound too difficult." Li Shen said with a smile, "Then I'll take people there for a tour."

In his mouth, the strategy of supporting the northern line turned into traveling, but everyone didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Chang'an mercenaries are so confident.

The goal was set, and everyone was busy preparing. Li Shen, who was about to lead the army to set off, was free. He had already prepared for the preparations these days. The Third Army of the Great Tang Dynasty was always ready to enter the battlefield at any time. In good condition, the next thing is to see the real chapter on the battlefield.

He even had time to care about Huang Sha's relationship progress.

Huangsha, who was planned to be left to sit in Chang'an, has been in a trance these days, and the whole person looks absent-minded.From his ghostly appearance, one could tell that the relationship was not going well, and he was tormented by Wang Ziyun enough.Li Shen was also a visitor now, took a moment to drag Huang Sha outside, squatted on the wall side by side, smoked a cigarette, and asked if he needed relationship counseling.

Huang Sha looked at him with particularly indifferent eyes, he still didn't care about the matter that he humiliated Geng Yan that day, and said coldly: "Even if Geng Yan has something to do to you, you shouldn't treat him like that."

Li Shen smiled and said, "Even if I'm a bastard, he still loves me."

Huang Sha frowned, stood up and wanted to leave, but was dragged down by Li Shen, who pressed his shoulder and said with a smile: "Master Huang, it's impossible to fall in love if it's too upright, you have to be despicable." OK."

Huang Sha was taken aback, thinking what kind of nonsense these words were, but then said in a mysterious way: "What do you mean?"

"With Wang Ziyun's arrogant temperament, it is harder for her to admit that she likes you and is willing to follow you than entering the altar. Even if you have the determination and perseverance to wear water through stone, you can't expect to touch her heart made of steel with warmth. "Li Shen spoke coldly, threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, took out the cigarette case and handed Huang Sha a cigarette, Huang Sha took it in a daze, thinking about Li Shen's words over and over in his mind... unexpectedly felt a little That's right.

Li Shen bit his cigarette, set fire to each other, and continued: "Originally you had no hope at all, but the situation is different now, and now is your only and best chance." She listened intently, and couldn't help smiling, "Now that she has no cultivation base and has become a useless person, some things will definitely change, such as her status in Huofeng. It's not that her subordinates don't respect her, but even if they respect her It is impossible for her, Huofeng, to let a useless person continue to be the leader. How can a strong person like her not have a huge sense of disparity after losing her status and power?...Don't try to comfort her, it's useless, she hates it the most now The only thing she needs is for others to comfort her, because it reminds her of what she has lost, and she becomes a weak person who needs sympathy and comfort from others."

Huang Sha nodded deeply, and asked, "So? Then what should I do?"

"Use strong." Li Shen said succinctly.

Huang Sha immediately stared, like an enraged lion: "You!"

"Pfft." Li Shen couldn't hold back his face, covered his stomach and patted the ground, pointing at Huang Sha and laughing wildly: "Look at you, you're thinking about it! Fuck! You must have thought about it secretly! Hahahahahahahaha!!!"

Huang Sha's face was flushed red from the laughter, and he wanted to walk away, but he felt like a kitten was scratching in his heart. He couldn't wait to hear Li Shen continue, so he could only forcefully put on a straight face and said seriously. : "Stop laughing and be serious."

Li Shen stroked his chest with great difficulty to suppress his laughter, but the smile on his face could not be suppressed no matter what, he narrowed his eyes and said, "What I mean is, you have to forcefully intervene by her side, meddling with her." Use your status and strength to force her to admit your existence, and sweep away all irrelevant people and things around her, so that she can only rely on you and have to rely on you."

Huang Sha felt uncomfortable instinctively. It felt like being forced to swallow a mouthful of stool.

"Anyway, I'm just making a suggestion." Seeing his unkind expression, Li Shen smiled and said, "If you want to maintain your image of being upright, you can continue to grind with her, it's up to you."

After finishing speaking, he patted his butt and left, leaving Huang Sha squatting there alone, his face full of struggles, after a long time, he shook his head with a wry smile, and cursed loudly.

"What an asshole."

………………

When the sun was at noon, Li Shen came to the cemetery in the north of the city alone.

He sat cross-legged in front of Yang Huxing's tombstone, clutching his ankles with both hands, and remained silent for a long time.There seemed to be a lot to say in his heart, but he couldn't say it. At the end of the silence, he moved his lips and said sorry in a low voice.

...what's the use of saying sorry.

Sorry to so many people, from the moment he decided to hug Geng Yan into his arms, he has lost the qualification to say this to them.They were all too blind to see that he was such a selfish bastard and mistrusted him.

"I'm not even qualified to say I'm sorry, but I still want your blessings, isn't it ridiculous?" He said to Yang Xingxing on the tombstone.

Yang Martian naturally wouldn't answer him.

"What a bastard." Li Shen murmured, "How did I become such a bastard?"

He closed his eyes and looked up, but he couldn't stop the transparent and hot liquid from gushing out from the corners of his eyes. What he did made the tears full of irony, as hypocritical as the tears of a crocodile.

It was Geng Yan who made him become such a person, and it was all Geng Yan's fault——Li Shen felt that it was ridiculous for him to think like this, and he was so ugly that he couldn't even look at it.

Maybe this is the price of being alive, Li Shen thought, if he had died on Dongji Cliff at that time, he would not have to face everything today, nor would he have to face this unrecognizable self.But even so, he still wants to live, and be with Geng Yan.

He will no longer stand still, hesitating and hesitating, he will continue to move forward.

It's not abandonment, but a burden, which is very heavy and painful, but he can still bear it.He has to shoulder the past and step forward again.

Regardless of the front, is heaven, or hell.
