The weather entered May, and Shen Wen wore a pale yellow dress, just like the color she wore when she gave the sachet that day at the Flower Fair. Of course, she has grown a lot taller, and she is no longer the fat little girl.

Shen Yi smiled and said, "My sister is really grown up."

Shen Wen smiled nervously, almost speechless, and promised a salute. Shen Yi smiled and led her into the living room, and Shen Wen sat at the table stiffly.

Shen Yi gave people tea, and Su Wanniang said to Liu's maid: "Sister, let me take care of it, I know what the maid likes." The maid looked at Shen Yi, Shen Yi nodded, she left, and the surroundings calmed down.

Shen Yi said to Shen Wen: "Your sister-in-law is with your mother, and the child is sleeping, otherwise it won't be so quiet here."

Shen Wen smiled reluctantly and asked: "Big brother is going to the border, but I feel sad in my heart"

Shen Yi sternly replied: "The big man is in all directions. Our Shen family is a military commander. Naturally, we have to guard the border for the country and the people. This is my duty. How sad to say."

Shen Wen also suppressed a smile, staring at Shen Yi in a daze. Shen Yi was a little puzzled, and asked: "What's wrong with my sister?"

Shen Wen asked: "Did brother find the sachet I gave when I was six years old?"

Shen Yi smiled, took it out of his arms and handed it to Shen Wen, and said, "Look, I have kept it."

Shen Wen did not answer, and still asked without a smile: "Since my brother took the sachet, he has not returned it to me, right?"

Shen Yi was taken aback: "Yes, if you don't ask me today, I won't find out why I want to pay you back"

Shen Wen still asked seriously: "Big Brother, do you think I might go to your place to get this sachet back"

Shen Yi shook his head strangely: "How come you don't know where I put it. And, when have you been to my bedroom"

Shen Wen asked earnestly: "Brother, can you swear that this sachet is always with you, I won't take it back in the middle, and no one will take it."

Shen Yi felt very weird. He looked at the sachet with old fabric and messy stitches, nodded and said, "I can swear that this sachet has never left me. No one will take it away."

Shen Wen said in a low voice: "Then please cut it open and see what's inside."

Shen Yi frowned and looked at Shen Wen, feeling that something was wrong. Instead of looking for scissors, he went to one side to open a drawer, took out a dagger, looked at Shen Wen, and hesitated: "You really want me to open it."

Shen Wen said: "Yes, the eldest brother cut it personally, he should know that if the middle of the sachet has been cut, it will not be sewn back."

Shen Yi used a sharp blade to cut the edge of the tightly stitched sachet, and poured out the spices in the sachet, with a small note in the middle. Shen Yi put down the dagger, unfolded the note, and saw it read: "Shen Yi, marry the Liu family, the eldest son, the name is Shen Wei, and the second son Shen Yu."

Shen Yi frowned: "I just received a letter from the old official Liu this morning, under the name'Wei'. Wei is a rare and beautiful jade, and the homophony is great. I didn't know this word before.

Shen Wen nodded, pointed to the sachet and said, "Please take a look at the day." Shen Yi flipped through the sachet, and Shen Wen embroidered the slanted characters on it, which was the day of the flower meeting.

Shen Yi looked at Shen Wen and said with deep eyes: "When you gave me the sachet, I hadn't seen the Liu family."

Shen Wen looked at Shen Yi pleadingly: "Brother, although this matter is weird, you must believe me! I once had a dream about the future."

Shen Yi smiled briefly and said, "This is not too unusual. There are many records that people have seen things about to happen in their dreams."

Shen Wen looked at Su Wanniang, Su Wanniang nodded, walked out the door, stood outside, looking at the courtyard. Shen Wen lowered his voice and said: "Big brother, in my dream, Bei Rong aggressively attacked, the border had little food and no aid, the internal **** and the enemy, the father died in the city broke, the second brother was seriously injured by the internal **** and died in the enemy's hands. On the road, the third brother and the third prince were shot to death by the Imperial Forest Army after failing their reinforcements. The sister committed suicide. Our family was ransacked in the name of collaborating with the enemy. The grandmother hit her head and died. Mother burned herself to death. The sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law committed suicide. Both of Big Brother's sons were killed..."

Shen Yi's eyes suddenly widened and he stood up abruptly. Shen Wen said hurriedly, "Big Brother, there are eyeliners everywhere in the Hou Mansion, Big Brother, don't show any abnormalities!"

Shen Yi's chest rose and fell, but lowered his voice and asked: "It's the prince."

Shen Wen hummed.

Shen Yi clenched his fists, his teeth rattled, and said in a low voice: "I knew that person was not authentic! I want to tell my father..."

Shen Wen said immediately: "No!"

Shen Yi turned his head and asked: "Why?"

Shen Wen whispered: "First, he doesn't necessarily believe it. With this sachet, you can believe what I said about the future by relying on this sachet, and by naming your wife and children. Will still believe me"

Shen Yi calmed down, he was shocked by the words written in the note of Shen Wen's sachet, and he suddenly believed the words behind Shen Wen. Now think about it, Shen Wen, a ten-year-old child, said such a tragic future, and he is somewhat credible. Who can guarantee that it is not a child’s nightmare?

He also began to look at Shen Wen suspiciously. Shen Wen smiled bitterly, and then said: "Secondly, his father is a loyal minister and is not good at tricks. He would rather die on the battlefield than subvert Saji. He believed that the prince would use Bei Rong in the future. The forces of the Shen family attacked the Shen family. What would he do to stop the prince? Would he dare to replace the prince! Even if he had the heart, a military commander, far away in the frontier, how many contacts did he have in the court to contact him and how to control the dynasty? Can he do it?"

This is not something a ten-year-old child can say. Shen Yi began to look at Shen Wen seriously.

Shen Wen also stood up, looked up at Shen Yi, and said firmly, "Big brother, it doesn't matter if you don't believe me, but you must help me make some preparations. Just in case a nightmare really happens, our Shen family won't It will be annihilated as I see it."

Shen Yi frowned deeply and asked in a low voice: "What are you going to do?"

Shen Wen said: "Since ancient times, nomadic troops in the north have attacked the farming people in the south, and they have always won more than they lost. What does the older brother think?"

Shen Yi said: "Those outsiders are not enlightened, cruel and cruel..."

Shen Wen shook his head slightly and said, "Not at all."

Shen Yi was surprised that this younger sister, who was less than ten years old, did not agree with her opinion, and couldn't help asking: "What does the younger sister think?"

Shen Wen said: "Gai is doomed by different ways of living."

Shen Yi frowned and said: "How do you tell this?"

Shen Wen said: "In the north, the people live on nomads, hunting on horseback, and traveling thousands of miles. If there is war, it will be a plunder. It is far easier to benefit than horse herding and sheep. Those who come are young and strong, who are good at riding and shooting. They are not stingy and bloody. Their family members also rode along with the army, so that they have no worries about leaving their relatives. But in our dynasty, the people live on farming and feed on food and vegetables. They have been addicted to killing livestock. If there is war, they have drawn soldiers. That’s why the family’s land is planted, the family’s taxpayer, who pays the tax. Farmers don’t like wars, they just want to guard the fields and work hard. If there is a war, there will be fewer people in the south, but many of those who come cannot cultivate the land. Not to mention the old, weak, and disabled, even young and strong people will not concentrate on fighting, and will always think about going home to farm. Therefore, if one day, Bei Rong enters the country, not only the resistance of the people or the hastily convened backup army cannot In response to the enemy, even the army that the court usually raises is often unable to resist the war."

Shen Yi said: "But I, Shen Jiajun, have defended the border for several generations..."

Shen Wen shook his head and said, "But there has been no major warfare for nearly a hundred years. At least half of the soldiers of the Shen Jiajun are farming on the border to supplement the shortage of food and grass. Many soldiers take turns to respond to the post between defending the city and ploughing the fields, and few people can concentrate on improving. Martial arts, honing the skills of cavalry and shooting. In order to maintain the overall military strength, the elite soldiers will be scattered in various corps and not concentrated together. This will further weaken the strength of Shen Jiajun."

At this time, the battle still relies on crowded tactics. Whoever has more people is likely to win. Moreover, there is no concept of elite troops. Ever since Cao Cao's troops were reclaimed and cultivated to raise soldiers, the army has also served as a collective farm.

Shen Yi finally faced his younger sister, these words are not something a ten-year-old girl raised in a deep boudoir can think of. He asked: "How can my sister know that if we don't farm, relying on the unreliable military salary of the imperial court, we can't feed so many people. If we concentrate elite soldiers, then how can many mediocre soldiers meet the enemy's sturdy, weak soldiers? Welcome to the death, how can we not match the strong and the weak"

Shen Wen said: "These can be dealt with when the opponent does not aggressively attack. But if one day, the opponent's dozens of troops come under pressure, Shen's military strength cannot be compared with it!"

In fact, Shen Wen doesn't have to worry about Shen Yi not believing her at all. She has thousands of years of experience, and naturally speaking is different from that of a child. Once the disguise was removed, her words completely entered Shen Yi's thinking.

Shen Yi asked: "So how can we improve our military strength"

Shen Wen said: "To prepare for the upcoming battle, we must train a professional force. They can fight against the soldiers of the northern nomads, not the farmers who usually operate the farmland. These people have to practice daily, long distance Riding and shooting, close hand-to-hand combat. It is necessary to practice arms and feet, exercise perseverance and courage. Livestock should be slaughtered frequently, so that they are not afraid of blood."

Shen Yi meditatively said: "My sister is talking about training a single elite soldier, not winning the enemy by number."

Shen Wen nodded and said: "Yes, be as strong as a sharp sword, invincible. I don't want 200,000 troops, only 10,000! When Bei Rong invades, if there are 10,000 cavalry on the border, then follow my plan. Bei Rong will not dare to commit another crime within twenty years!"

Shen Yi was shocked. He stared at Shen Wen who had not yet reached his chest. Shen Wen clenched his fists so as not to tremble, and continued to make her speech: "As for defensive soldiers, soldiers of ordinary quality can be used. You only need to master archery. The essentials and the technique of close combat, and know how to build fortifications. Defending the city can also use the power of the people. Usually, the people in the city must be organized into militias to facilitate the war. I will also find someone to make a strong bow and crossbow. Provide weapons for Big Brother."

Shen Yi asked in surprise: "Weapon is my imperial control, how will my sister plan?"

Shen Wen raised his head slightly: "I have my own way. What my eldest brother has to do now is to train a team of five hundred to one thousand people, capable of riding and shooting, traveling thousands of miles, and most importantly, there is no insider! I am! At the turn of the winter and spring at the age of fourteen, two months will be borrowed. At that time, there must be Bei Rong costumes and people who can understand the language there. And those 10,000 elite soldiers, the eldest brother needs to complete the training in five years! "

Shen Yi looked at Shen Wen incredulously: "My younger sister still borrows soldiers when she is fourteen years old"

Shen Wen nodded and said: "Exactly! Maybe you still don't believe me, but training this army is what Shen Jiajun should do. Brother should start immediately when he arrives at the border, and don't delay."

Shen Yi frowned, and Shen Wen stared into Shen Yi's eyes and said, "Big Brother, what I want you to do can determine the life and death of the Shen family. If you agree to me, you must complete it on time! If you don't believe me, you must tell now Me! I can find someone else. Don’t answer it, otherwise, when the catastrophe is imminent, the elder brother regrets the small ones, and the lives of the two hundred thousand Shen Jiajun and our Shen family’s elders and children will be irretrievable! Big Brother But know the painful consequences of this kind!"

The sadness in her words caused Shen Yi to wake up suddenly. In fact, he didn't fully believe in Shen Wen in his heart, but Shen Wen's conversation at this time was very different from usual, and the truth was definitely not something a girl of her age could understand. If there are real dreams of unexplored prophets, and if those things are true, then if you are warned but do not act, it is no different from killing!

Shen Yi finally nodded slightly and said: "Shen Jiajun is stationed in the frontier all the year round, defending more than offensive, and the soldiers are mixed. Maybe it is indeed necessary to train a strong soldier alone and prepare more."

Shen Wen took a breath slowly, tears welling up, and some choked up and said, "Brother, thank you for taking my advice. Our Shen family has a way out from then on."

Shen Yi still felt that the whole incident was incredible, and asked: "In a dream, what happened to you?"

Shen Wen began to sob and said, "I married the staff of the prince, and it was said that I had given a letter from my father and brother to the enemy! Then, I was strangled to death by my husband!"

Shen Yi's heart trembled, only feeling tight in his throat, and firmly said to Shen Wen: "Sister, that will never happen!"

Shen Wen knew that he couldn't cry now, otherwise Shen Yi would despise her, but she still couldn't help crying, so she was so wronged that she grabbed Shen Yi's arm and whimpered and said: "Big brother, we must not let those things happen! You must believe me, If you train a good soldier, I will go to the border at the age of fourteen. At that time, I will tell you how to defend Beirong!"

Shen Yi patted Shen Wen on the back and comforted, "Sister, don't cry."

Shen Wen went on to say: "This year the grain harvest will be harvested, and the grain will be ripe next year. Low rice will hurt farmers. But then there will be four years of drought and one year of flood, and the food will be extremely expensive. In my dream, the prince regards the year of disaster as the year of disaster. Because of this, he asked the emperor to reduce arms, and the emperor approved his advice due to the serious drought. The imperial court ran out of military expenditures, and the border gates ran out of previous reserves of food and grass, and repeatedly reduced soldiers. When the disaster year passed, the vitality was too late to recover. Rong sent troops, and his father was short of soldiers and food, and he immediately fell into a passive state. The eldest brother is now going to the border to persuade his father to store food."

Shen Yi got cold behind his back, and finally began to believe that what Shen Wen said might actually happen.

Shen Wen went on to say: "Although Yancheng is strong and difficult to attack, it was broken by the enemy in the end. It can be seen that the defense alone cannot be preserved. The eldest brother wanted to excuse the troops and demolish the residents near the north gate to free up an area of ​​about five miles for me. I'll tell you what to do after I go."

This matter is more difficult. Shen Yi frowned, and Shen Wen said anxiously: "Big brother, the harvest in the next year can confirm what I have said. Big brother must believe me!"

Shen Yi hurriedly said: "Big brother believes in you, if you can't go there, why don't you tell me what to do now"

Shen Wen wiped away the tears and said in a mature tone as much as possible: "Brother, when shooting arrows, the closer you are, the more accurate you can shoot. Some preparations should not be made too early, so as not to reveal the key. Moreover, there are invaders in the Shen family. Otherwise, the city of Yancheng will not collapse! Big brother is here to mobilize elite soldiers on the one hand, and purge the army on the other, at least in the strong soldiers of the eldest brother, to ensure the reliability of the soldiers."

Shen Yi nodded, and Shen Wen said again: "Geng Biao, who was next to my eldest brother, died for my eldest brother in my dream, with more than a dozen arrows in his body. Qi Conglin in the guard also died in the north with his eldest brother. But Wang Zhi next to my second brother But he stabbed the second brother in the back, causing the second brother to be seriously injured and hacked to death by the enemy."

Shen Yi said in a deep voice, "I will take him away now to the border..."

Shen Wen said hurriedly: "No, we have to keep him, and we will use him to report letters in the future. If the eldest brother finds a rape, don't cut it off, but keep it."

Shen Yi was really surprised. He looked at Shen Wen seriously and said, "In the palace, you pretended to be poisoned. On the Lantern Festival in the street, you also said that deliberately."

Shen Wen nodded: "Of course, in the Changle Hou Mansion, it was also deliberate."

Shen Yi stretched out his hand to pat Shen Wen's head: "You frightened grandmother and older sisters!"

I'm not a kid anymore! Shen Wen sighed secretly, but she was still very satisfied with this point today. Shen Wen said again: "Brother, remember, you have to carry your father on your back when you do this, and you have to train yourself, and you have to guard against other people's eyes and ears. The reason cannot be told to father."

Shen Yi frowned and said, "What you mentioned is good for Shen Jiajun even if you did it without your nightmare."

Shen Wen held Shen Yi's arm again, and solemnly said: "Father is around the emperor and the prince, and his every move is in the eyes of that side. If he is doing martial arts with great fanfare, how will he think about it? If they are early, it’s not what I dreamed of, and my preparations are useless. Moreover," Shen Wen stopped, his eyes locked Shen Yi's eyes nicely: "The last thing I want to do, father doesn’t I dare to think, let alone do it. Brother, do you dare?" I'm going to ruin the prince.

The conversation just now made Shen Yi fully understand what Shen Wen meant. He pondered for a moment, and said softly, "I dare."

Shen Wen excitedly took Shen Yi's hand, and shook it and said, "Thank you, big brother, you don't know. I'm afraid you don't believe me. Over the years, I have suffered so much, only Wanniang..."

Shen Yi's eyes turned black: "Don't say that you arranged to save Su Wanniang on the street." He took advantage of me at that time.

Shen Wen blinked, hugged Shen Yi's arms and shook, and whispered, "My eldest brother will be suspicious when I talk now. I was only a few years old at that time, and no one believed it anymore!"

Shen Yi thought for a while, and frowned, "Su Wanniang is just a maid. You must have a few helpers in this mansion."

Shen Wen whispered: "You don't know who is the eyeliner and who is the gangster. I know that Xia Zi is the eyeliner, and there must be others besides Qian Shao Sang beside her mother. I'm afraid that grandmother and mother, including sister-in-law, are not. People who can pretend to be fakes will reveal it. So, I can’t tell them yet.”

Shen Yi also shook his head: "The elder sister can't get better. But the second brother is okay, and the third brother is also very smart."

Shen Wen whispered: "Second brother is now waiting to get married. He will go to the border soon after getting married. I want to tell him when he leaves and let him have a relaxing life. The third brother is just a fifteen-year-old boy. ..."

Shen Yi smiled: "How old are you"

Shen Wen didn't smile, looked at Shen Yi sternly, and said, "I'm in a dream, and I've passed my whole life." Plus a thousand years!

Shen Yi looked at the appearance of the little adult Shen Wen and thought that this sister had been so heavy in his mind over the years. Although he still had doubts, the suggestions made by Shen Wen were beneficial and harmless to Shen Jiajun. It can be seen how much brains this sister has used. Feeling distressed for a while, he touched Shen Wen's head and said, "Sister, don't worry, I will train a good soldier. If my sister can't come, tell me what I'm going to do, and I will finish it."

Shen Wen shook his head and said, "I know the place. It is not possible for others to find it in Beirong."

Shen Yi was surprised: Shen Wen had never traveled far, how could he know the place north of the border.

Shen Wen said as if to make him understand: "Yes, I know. Moreover, I also know how to get to the border. So, brother, train good soldiers, wait for me." That land, I have wandered thousands of times. century.

Seeing Shen Wen's deep eyes that did not match her childish face, Shen Yi nodded heavily and said, "Sister, I'm waiting for you."

Shen Wen stretched out his hand: "Brother, we swear by high-five. What we said today, not only can't tell others now, but in the future, even if things are done, we can't tell father. Except for those who will cooperate with us, others know what The less the better."

Shen Yi felt that Shen Wen was too thoughtful, but he also understood her caution. Even if what Shen Wen was talking about were dreams, they only talked verbally about establishing a good soldier or even replacing a prince behind his father's back. It would be considered unfaithful and unfilial, not to mention that they would really start to do it and Shen Wen saw it. There will indeed be action when it comes.

Shen Yi is 19 years old this year. At this age, there is still some young people's rebellious spirit. Moreover, Zhenbeihou is not at home all year round, and he has not yet established a tacit understanding of working together with his father. In addition, he has been friends with the third prince in recent years and sympathizes with his situation. On the contrary, the prince has been making things difficult for the town of Beihou Mansion. Several reasons were put together, and Shen Yi would accept Shen Wen's suggestion of rebelliousness.

He patted his hand on Shen Wen's and said, "Okay, I won't say it."

Shen Wen suddenly asked: "Brother, if it is, in a dream, your soul heard that it was me who gave a letter from my father and brother to the enemy, would you believe it?"

Shen Yi looked at Shen Wen's chubby face when he was a child, and laughed: "How can you believe that your sister is who is always gentle and cowardly, and can't understand his family? How can you do such a thing is a clumsy trick? , Don’t say I don’t believe it, no one at home will believe it.”

Shen Wen was a little teary, but a little lost. What the eldest brother is talking about now is the self who grew up with his brother and sister who has been crying and crying since childhood, not the self who was incompatible with the flesh and blood relatives in the previous life and always looked at the Hou Mansion with blank eyes. Shen Wen secretly sighed, maybe some answers are really lost in the lost time forever, even if everything is restarted, they can't be found.

Shen Wen let out a long breath, his shoulders collapsed, and he smiled and said to Shen Yi: "Before people, I have to be your weak and stupid sister, brother, don't wear clothes."

Shen Yi didn't feel any lightness, and seemed to bear an invisible burden.

In the eyes of others, Shen Wen went to practice Shen Yi and acted like a spoiled child. As the eldest brother, Shen Yi told her sister to be obedient and so on. This is exactly what Su Wanniang said "unintentionally".

Shen Wen slept very well that night. She had done a very important thing. If Shen Yi didn't believe it, she would probably have to run away from home soon and find someone herself. She shuddered at the thought of that situation. Now that part of the responsibility is offloaded to Shen Yi, Shen Wen of course relaxes.

Shen Yi didn't sleep almost all night. He didn't continue to prepare the armor and equipment he was going to bring. Instead, he took the time to read the military books for most of the night. When he returned to the dormitory lightly, he found that Liu was still sitting by the bed waiting for him.

Shen Yi sat next to Liu's, took her hand, and asked in a low voice, "Why don't you sleep?"

Liu Shiyi came over and pressed closely to Shen Yi. Shen Yi remembered the dream that Shen Wen said, if Shen Jiajun is annihilated, his wife and son will die tragically. This is actually in line with common sense. There was a pain in his heart, and he couldn't help but put his arms around Liu's shoulders and pressed Liu's tightly to his chest.

At the beginning, he chose this woman because he liked her attentiveness and gentleness, but it did mean to honor her elders. Sooner or later, I will stay at the border like my father. I have a wife who respects and loves his elders and has a gentle temperament. The relationship with my mother should be more harmonious than my mother and grandmother. The Liu family was not born in a military commander's house like her mother. She is knowledgeable and reasonable. As the eldest daughter-in-law, she should also take over the affairs of the mansion smoothly.

But after getting married, Liu's daily care for him is very considerate. When he comes back from martial arts training every day, he has full bath water, folded clothes for washing, and warm soup. When he was reading at night, he had light tea and small dots on hand. No matter when he goes to bed, Liu clan will wait for him.

Liu usually blushes when talking to Shen Yi. Shen Yi also caught Liu's admiring eyes peeking at him more than once. He began to really love the Liu family.

Liu became pregnant soon, and after learning the news, he seriously asked Shen Yi if he should find a room for him. Shen Yi told her that generations of military commanders of the Shen family did not advocate female sex. A drop of essence and ten drops of blood, for the sake of the generals, must be clean and self-conscious, and cannot be hollowed out, otherwise they will not be able to return on the battlefield in the future. Although Liu's shyness, it was even better for Shen Yi, making Shen Yi feel that no one in this world would be so gentle and considerate to him...

Shen Yi blew out the light, and lay down on the bed with Liu's arms around him. Liu's cried softly in Shen Yi's arms. Shen Yi knows that Liu often cries these days, and also understands the pain of her heart, for a while...

Before Shen Yi went to sleep, he decided in his heart that even if Shen Wen's dream was nonsense, and the harvest of the next year would not be as Shen Wen said, he would train a good soldier. Shen Jiajun must not perish, and he will never let Liu's suicide son die by hand, no matter who can stop him from protecting his beloved, even if he is the prince.

Shen Yi left the capital at the end of May.

The day before he left, he called Shen Jian, Shen Zhuo and Shen Xiang to his side on the martial arts training ground, watching a few short-dressed younger siblings, each one with bright eyes, just youthful, and Shen Yi's heart was heavy. If what Shen Wen said is true, none of them will end well, and Shen Yi has strengthened his determination to rebel.

Shen Yi put on the elder brother's style and said: "After I leave, you must protect your little sister. She is the only weak woman in the family who doesn't know martial arts."

Shen Jian nodded and said, "That's natural."

Shen Yi spoke again: "I'm not going to winter hunting..."

Shen Zhuo rushed and said, "We will still get a..."

Shen Yi interrupted: "No, you don't have to be brave, in fact, if you don't get ahead, it's better."

Shen Jian and Shen Zhuo were taken aback, but Shen Xiang said anxiously: "Are we going to let others say that there is no successor in Zhenbei Hou Mansion?"

Shen Yi smiled, looked at Shen Xiang and said, "Is it true that they said it?"

Shen Zhuo said: "Big brother, I understand. Our Shen family is a military commander on the battlefield. It's not a lot of hunting skills."

Shen Yi nodded slightly, and said, "Actually, what I mean is that we should keep our powers low, and don't attract attention."

Shen Zhuo smiled: "Big Brother, you are the same as Dad."

Shen Yi shook his head and said: "It's not the same." Dad wanted to bear it, but I won't bear it.

Although they were puzzled, Shen Yi didn't explain much, and then said: "There is a smart person in this house, Su Wanniang who is next to my little sister. If she has any suggestions, you must listen." Since Shen Wen wants to continue to play stupid, she must pass on her idea through Su Wanniang, so that can help her.

Shen Jian and Shen Zhuo hadn’t spoken yet, but Shen Xiang quickly responded: “She is very smart. Didn’t she find the problem at Xiangye Temple last time? Later, she spoke to the prince and helped her sister several times. Last time my sister was out of the palace, she told me to go to the doctor as soon as possible."

Shen Zhuo felt that Su Wanniang was very powerful because he had participated in the affairs of the Fourth Prince arranged by Su Wanniang, so he said, "Well, I will listen to her."

Shen Yi saw Shen Jian, the only one who did not express his position, and Shen Jian reluctantly said under Shen Yi's gaze: "Okay, if she is right."

Shen Yi concluded: "After I leave, you need to discuss things with your relatives, be aware of people with your eyes, and be careful of those around you." He glanced at Shen Jian, Shen Jian thought it was strange, but still followed the rest. Several younger siblings promised.

They were talking. Some people said that the third prince came to see the eldest son and saw him off. Just after Shen Yi finished his martial arts training, he was so busy that he invited the third prince to entertain the third prince and change clothes by himself. Jian and Shen Zhuo heard that they went with them.

When Shen Yi arrived in the martial arts hall, the three men were trying various longbows hanging on the wall in turn. The third prince pointed to an ebony bow hung on the wall in the middle of the hall and said, "I didn't pull it off last time. I have to try again this time."

Shen Jian took it down for him, and the third prince hooked the bowstring with his thumb, took a deep breath, and pulled it hard... without pulling it away. He vented his energy, and handed the bow to Shen Yi, who was walking over, and said, "Come and pull it. You pulled it away last time."

Shen Yi smiled and said, "I thought you were here to see me off, but in the end you came to pull the ebony bow."

The third prince sighed and said, "This is the bow of Beihou, the old town. People outside are very fascinated. I am always thinking about it. Since you can pull it away, I should be right."

Shen Yi said with some comforting tone: "I can only drive once or twice, and then my arm becomes sore." He took the ebony bow, put on his fingers, and took a deep breath, his chest bulged, suddenly After pulling the bow round, his face flushed immediately, slowly letting go before his face returned to normal. The third prince exclaimed, stretched out his hand for a bow, Shen Yi handed it to him, smiled and said: "I just took a shower, and now I'm sweating again."

The third prince weighed the ebony longbow, shook his head, and said, "The old town of Beihou must be a supernatural power." He hung the bow back on the wall, without looking at Shen Yi, and said: "Go to the border, take care, I hope Someday, I can go out on horseback riding with you again."

Shen Yi nodded and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty..."

The third prince waved his hand: "How many times have you said that...you don't need to call me like that..." He was a little depressed, looked up, didn't see the person he wanted to see, and said with some frustration: "I'm going back, you really ......It's safe and sound!"

Shen Yi saluted, Shen Jian and Shen Zhuo also saluted, and the three princes left.

Shen Yi sent away the three princes, and came back and said to Shen Jian and Shen Zhuo: "After I leave, you will still be friends with him, and often go out and play together."

This is completely opposite to his father’s instructions. In the past, Shen Yi only used actions to express his position, but now he openly tells his two younger brothers, Shen Jian once again feels weird in his heart. Look at Shen Zhuo and see that he has no expression. The objection was naturally answered again.

Shen Yi asked Liu to take care of Shen Wen more often. Said that the servants in Hou's mansion always have the pride of a wealthy family, and Shen Wen is cowardly. If the Liu family has a good maid, introduce a few to Shen Wen. At this time, it was Shen Yi who asked her to pick the moon, Liu's, and she would answer it all at once. Naturally, this matter was immediately taken to heart.

On the day Shen Yi left, he kowtowed to the old lady and Yang in the hall. The old lady tearfully told him to help her father and the like, but didn't get up. Yang cried so badly. When Shen Yi got up and left, she also stood up and followed Shen Yi step by step to the door. The old lady called out, "Don't go out with you, it will break the child's life."

Yang could only leaned against the door frame, crying and said over and over again: "Son, you have to take care of yourself, don't get sick, don't hurt, come back and see your mother when you have time..." The others couldn't help crying.

A few younger siblings followed to the gate of the mansion and gave a ceremony. Shen Yi looked at Shen Wen and said firmly: "Sister, don't worry." Shen Wen nodded tearfully and said, "I admire the big brother the most, I believe in the big brother."

Shen Yi also nodded, there were no tears in his eyes, but there was a flame. He couldn't wait to rush to the border and start acting.

The Liu family was the last one to be in front of Shen Yi, crying too hard to speak. Shen Yi was more generous than Zhenbeihou, so he hugged the Liu family tightly in public, and whispered: "Don't worry, I will be back!"

The Liu choked and nodded, tidying Shen Yi's clothes, crying and said: "You must be good, you are my life..."

Shen Yi said: "I understand."

He finally gave Liu a hug, turned around decisively and walked out the door, followed by Geng Biao, Qi Conglin and his former entourage. Outside the gate, they got on their horses and went away, Shen Yi did not look back amidst the sound of horse hooves.
