[Rebirth] After Ten Years of Marriage, Fall in Love Again

The rare eye circles were red, and he couldn't help but hold Yuan Lingxiu's hand even tighter.

Qi'er didn't know what was wrong with them, she tilted her head and watched for a long time, but seeing the two fathers holding hands, she giggled and crawled over, and put her fat little hand on it.

"Pfft..." Shen Jieran, who was about to say something, was amused by Qi'er's actions.

Yuan Lingxiu didn't mean to say something touching, he felt that what he said was the truth.He just didn't want Shen Jieran to fall into hesitation and hesitation for no reason.

Now that I think about it, what he said just now, if he said it after careful consideration, it must not be so embarrassing... He could just analyze the situation for Shen Jieran, point out their retreat and bargaining chips, there is no need to say it Something like "I'm with you".

What's more, there are not only the two of them in this account.

Didn't you see that Shen Cong, who had been acting as the background all night, was stunned for a moment, and then he looked uncomfortable and tried to lower his sense of existence?

When Shen Jieran was so moved, Yuan Lingxiu was also embarrassed.

Fortunately, even if Qi'er arrived, the atmosphere that was too mean before was relieved.

Shen Jieran, who had returned to his normal state after being disturbed by this, couldn't help teasing him: "Qi'er knows what daddy just said to me just now? You just come and join in the fun."

Although he said so, he raised his hand, and Qi'er's little hand was also wrapped in it, holding Yuan Lingxiu's together.

Seeing her hands being held by the two fathers together, Qi'er smiled happily and nodded, "Of course Qi'er knows!"

After Shen Cong took Qi'er back to sleep, Shen Jieran still held Yuan Lingxiu's hand and refused to let go.

Obviously, the two of them had been together day and night for a long time, and they had done countless embarrassing things, but now they were just lying on the couch holding hands, Yuan Lingxiu felt a little embarrassed.

"Ah! I remembered!" Yuan Lingxiu said suddenly, "I wanted to say it just now. Brother Ji is not the kind of person who will be dazzled by his children's affair. Don't think about it."

Shen Jieran raised his hand in front of his eyes to observe carefully, and said, "Ah Chu is defending Shen Ji?"

Yuan Lingxiu couldn't help but give him a blank look, "I'm just afraid that if you think too much, you might cause a rift with him by mistake."

Shen Jieran smiled: "Well, I won't think too much about it."

He will still give Shen Ji enough trust, if he has lived up to it.

Yuan Lingxiu said again: "Perhaps the sixth prince is really in a hurry? Otherwise, he wouldn't take the risk to come here."

Shen Jieran sneered, "This cooperation relationship was very unstable in the first place, and it's not easy to delay it until now. But, since winter is coming again, it shouldn't be a problem to delay this year."

Yuan Lingxiu stood up and looked at Shen Jieran, "You mean..."

Shen Jieran also turned around, lay face to face with him, and said: "King Ling's health is deteriorating, the third prince has been established as the crown prince and is gradually taking power, Shangguan Qingmu's time is running out. Although I didn't expect it to be so soon, but Next year, next spring, he will definitely not sit still. At that time, no matter whether the face is torn or not, we should make a move."

"Are you going to take back those two cities?"

"Well. The reason why the emperor didn't see that I was deliberately delaying time is because the battlefield in the north was horrific, and the attention of all officials in the court and central government was attracted there. There are also people I sent to the north to deliver news, and it will be next year at the latest General Chang will be able to defeat the Xiongnu's army. Ling's troops are not as strong as the Xiongnu's, if I don't do it again, the emperor will blame me for my ineffectiveness."

Indeed, if General Chang has already won the battle in the north, and there is still no movement on Shen Jieran's side, those civil and military officials are not fools. They think that his ineffectiveness is secondary. The most terrifying thing is that they will find out about Shen Jieran's plan. Give him another intention to rebel, wouldn't it be back to the situation in the previous life?

Yuan Lingxiu nodded, he didn't quite understand these things.But Shen Jieran has been paying close attention to the situation in the capital and the northern battlefield, and knows more than him, so what he said is naturally correct.

He then said: "Then let's fight."

67. Chapter 66

Xuanwen eight years in March.

Shen Jieran received a report from a spies that Shangguan Aoki, the commander of the Ling Kingdom, gathered troops in Dingjiang City, and seemed to be preparing to attack Dingchang on a large scale.

After hearing this, Shen Jieran immediately summoned all the generals to discuss the matter.

Meng Lang was a little puzzled: "Although it's already March, they want to attack before the snow has melted?"

Chang Yu said: "What's so strange about this? This place is closer to the Central Plains than the Western Regions. The people of Xiling have lived in a place with a worse environment than this place for many years. The cold weather is nothing to them!"

Qi Rang also said: "No wonder they have been busy all winter. In this way, they have already planned to catch us by surprise when the spring begins."

Although they lived another stable winter, spies reported from time to time throughout the winter that Shangguan Qingmu was collecting and hoarding a large amount of grain and grass supplies.

The start of war in Chunri did coincide with Shen Jieran's expectations.

Zhang Xianzhong said with a sinister smile, "Let them come, are we still afraid of them?"

Meng Lang is usually more cautious, he hesitated and said: "If you want to sneak attack, how can we easily find out? This is too much fanfare."

"It's not too much fanfare," Jiang Zhe said: "Our spies are all carefully selected and placed for a long time. Every time we send a message, it is extremely dangerous. How can we get it easily?"

"Lao Jiang is right!" Chang Yu said, "That's right, if they want to come, let's do it with them! I've been holding back for a whole winter, and I want to move my hands and feet a long time ago."

Several generals started talking one after another, except for Meng Lang who was a little hesitant, everyone else was in charge of the battle.

Shen Jieran listened to them silently, and Yuan Lingxiu and Shen Ji who were beside him also remained silent.

It wasn't until they had a good discussion that Shen Jieran concluded: "What you said makes sense. If Xi Ling is bluffing, we just ignore it. General Meng has also considered well. If they really want to sneak over while the weather is still cold, then The news we learned was indeed too easy. After all, we had already prepared, and they lost the opportunity."

Shen Jieran was also thinking about this point when he didn't speak just now.If Shangguan Aoki really wanted to sneak attack, with his wrist, this kind of news would definitely not be spread so easily - after all, the ease with which those spies passed on the news before was because they were still forming alliances, deliberately Of the.

But if he said that he deliberately wanted them to know that he was playing the trick of two people hitting me and hitting you last year, Shen Jieran didn't quite believe it.After all, half of Xiling's country already belongs to Shangguan Qingyun, no matter how calm Shangguan Qingmu is, he won't move.

After thinking about it, Shen Jieran could only think of two possibilities.One is that Shangguan Qingmu really didn't have time, he didn't want to sneak attack, but wanted to head-on.The second is that Shangguan Aoki found a way to defeat him, so he didn't mind being known by them.

If it is the first type, Shen Jieran still has the confidence to deal with it.But if it is the second type, what will it be?

The first thing Shen Jieran thought of was his weakness...

Ah Chu and Qi Er!

Thinking of the look in Shangguan Qingmu's eyes and what he said when he came over last time, Shen Jieran couldn't help but tremble, thinking that this was probably his idea!

"Then tell me, Commander, are we going to fight or not?" Chang Yu couldn't help asking.

Shen Jieran said ferociously, "Hit, of course! Do we wait until everyone hits the door before we fight back?"

Qi Rang has been by Shen Jieran's side for the longest time, seeing him like this, he said: "What does the commander mean, we want to take the initiative?"

"Exactly, if they want to sneak attack, won't we?"

Zhang Xianzhong couldn't help but praised: "This is a good idea! Just ignore the question of whether they have any tricks! Let's go straight to them and catch them off guard, whether they really want to sneak attack or not?"

Shen Jieran nodded, and immediately began to arrange troops and assign tasks.

All the generals discussed together until the evening before resigning and leaving.

Seeing that Shen Jieran was in a trance after being tired all day, Yuan Lingxiu ordered someone to prepare water for him to wash.

"Ah..." Shen Jieran pulled Yuan Lingxiu away, and moved to the side, allowing him to sit next to him.

"What's wrong?" Yuan Lingxiu asked with concern.

Shen Jieran said: "This time we attack Dingjiang City, you don't have to follow me."

Yuan Lingxiu looked at him with some puzzlement.

In the past, in battles, Shen Jieran always took the lead, and he stood by to protect him.Unexpectedly, Shen Jieran said that he would not be allowed to play this time.

Shen Jieran rubbed his forehead tiredly, Yuan Lingxiu simply let him lie on his lap and rub it for him.

Shen Jieran said, "I'm worried that they're after you this time."

Yuan Lingxiu couldn't help feeling a little funny when he heard this, and asked, "Why would they come at me so well? Besides, I've seen all the masters under the Sixth Prince, and they can't deal with me."

Shen Jieran said: "Of course I'm not worried if it's an upright contest, but what if they use some shady trick? Even if Shangguan Qingmu doesn't have the ability to do it, there is still Shangguan Qingyun."

Yuan Lingxiu was a little confused about the situation, "Didn't the third prince always hope that the sixth prince would be suppressed? Why did he intervene again?"

Shen Jieran never said before that Shangguan Qingyun might have evil intentions towards Yuan Lingxiu.

Shangguan Qingmu is narrow-minded and must report every penny, and with him around to fan the flames, Shangguan Qingyun was not sure before that the person who saved him was Yuan Lingxiu, and now he has to be sure.He hesitated to speak now, held back for a long time, and finally
