There are many treasures in this country

Xiao Suo was baffled: "This humble minister dares to ask the emperor, what kind of leopard is it?"

Xie Yi looked very winkingly, and before Huan Ye could speak, he turned around and explained: "A report was sent from the front line. Tu Shanguo got a group of cheetahs from somewhere to tame them, and they used them as mounts. Their speed and force are so powerful that they can be used as mounts. They are far better than war horses. Even though General Fan has three heads and six arms, it is really hard to resist. The army fought against him twice, and both suffered heavy casualties."

"Using a cheetah as a mount?" Even Shen Yan, who has been fighting abroad for many years, has never heard of such a thing, let alone Xiao Suo. "Beasts are ferocious by nature and don't get close to people. With a cheetah as a mount, wouldn't the soldiers of Tushan Kingdom not be injured?"

"It's just strange here." Master Zhou, who was wearing a red robe next to him, said, "Those leopards not only didn't hurt Fanzi, but also bowed to him. According to the battle report, the Tushan people drove these animals to do whatever they wanted. Use your fingers to be invincible."

Shen Yan frowned and said: "Such obedience must have been raised since childhood. It can be seen that the Tushan Kingdom has premeditated, they domesticated leopards, I am afraid that they are just to deal with us."

Huan Ye nodded slightly, rubbed the Ziyu in his hand and said, "I think so too. The leopard that Qing surrendered in Shanglin Garden was the gift of Tu Shanguo."

"What does the emperor mean..." Xie Yi said, "They had already started domesticating cheetahs at that time? The purpose of offering that leopard is to test whether there is anyone in our court who can subdue it?"

"It must be so." Liang Taifu, who had a bright head and a gray beard on the east side of the hall, said angrily, "If you are not of my race, your heart must be different. These gangsters are extremely insidious and cunning, and they only know how to do such tricks and temptations!"

Shen Yan pouted, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, it is meaningless to find out where this cheetah came from now. The most urgent thing is to find a way to solve the problem before sending troops."

Huan Ye sighed, and asked: "Is there any way, gentlemen?"

Everyone in the hall fell silent for an instant.

Usually at this time, it was Yan Jun who would comfort him, offer advice, or analyze the situation, but no matter what, he could always clear the clouds and turn Huan Ye's worries into joy.

But this time, no more.

The patter of the rain outside the corridor, the tick-tock knocked in the heart, adding to the sorrow.Huan Ye was as ill as a man made of paper, stronger light could burn it to ashes, as if the wind would blow it away.

After a long silence, Liang Taifu suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I think... General Shen can replace General Fan as the head coach."

As soon as the words came out, Lord Zhou and Lord Li agreed one after another.Xiao Suo was so anxious that there was no need for it, he took a step forward, but before he could refute, Xie Yi quietly pressed him back.

"This general is not that capable." Shen Yan said coldly.

Taifu Liang said with a smile: "The general has always been brave. It was a good story in Shanglinyuan when the cheetah was passed down. Everyone in the capital knows that you can catch a leopard, general, so why be humble!"

Zhou and Li are like parrots learning to speak, they will agree with what he says, and they will praise Shen Yan as one in the sky and unparalleled in the earth, his strength is as powerful as Xiang Yu's reincarnation, it is simply unrivaled in the past First able man.

When he wanted to go, they refused to let him go, and they also speculated that he had ulterior motives and intended to rebel.Now that the army was defeated and the fierce beasts were hard to beat, they changed their faces again, claiming to praise him over and over again.

"Can a leopard be the same as a group of leopards?" Shen Yan was so angry that his chest was tight. They only hoped that he would die there sooner. "Didn't Master Liang say that that day? This general has a heart of rebellion, how can he lead troops to the expedition, isn't it a threat to the safety of the court!"

"What are you talking about, General?" Taifu Liang turned his face away and refused to admit it. "Why did this old man say that about the general? I just said that if a general has a rebellious heart, he will definitely threaten the safety of the court and the emperor. This old man is just hypothesizing, not specifically referring to the general. General, you have misunderstood. What's more, when the country is facing a crisis, how can you care about these things? The general should understand the general situation and put the country first."

Master Zhou also said: "That's right, why does the general care about his personal reputation at this moment? State affairs should be the most important thing!"

"I see that my lord is so good at saying that I am as smart as a general, and better than the reincarnation of the sages." Xiao Suo was furious, walked out of Xie Yi, and teased tepidly, "In my opinion, it is better A few adults go out to fight, meet the enemy in front of the battle, and point out the country, and our army will be invincible, invincible, invincible, and invincible."

"You—" Lord Li pointed at his nose and scolded angrily, "You...huh, as civil servants, we have always only provided advice and advice, and assisted the emperor in governing the country. What does a knowledgeable general do!"

"Forgive me for speaking bluntly, my lord's words are wrong." Xiao Suo said neither humble nor overbearing: "In ancient times in wars, counselors and strong generals are indispensable. The soldiers are brave and good at fighting, and they also need the advice of a military advisor. A good military advisor can be worth thousands of troops. Your Excellency is so eloquent, clever and ingenious, maybe you can follow the example of Zhuge Kongming in the past, sit in command, plot against the enemy, kill Wang Lang, and retreat from the empty city. !"

Shen Yan was happy to hear that, and looked at him without any trace, smiled secretly, and said: "Master Xiao's words are deeply reasonable, Lord Li, Lord Zhou, Lord Liang, don't be modest. In this battle, Without you, it would be hard to win!"

Zhou and Li jumped up and down, arguing with him one by one.

Just as Mrs. Liang was about to reply, Huan Ye suddenly slammed the suet jade in his hand onto the table, startling everyone.

"Okay!" He snorted, paused, looked at Shen Yan, and slowed down his voice: "Shen Qing, the front line..."

Shen Yan calmed down after losing his anger, thinking about the urgent military situation and the emperor's weakness, he couldn't help but surge up his whole body, knelt down on one knee and said: "Don't worry, your majesty, I am willing to lead the army to fight against Tu Shan, and repay the emperor's kindness with all his heart and soul."

"Okay," Huan Ye nodded with satisfaction, "I am very relieved of your ability. I promise you to return to your post and lead a hundred thousand troops to support. I must... hope you win and return to court as soon as possible."

"Sir, thank you for taking the decree."

Shen Yan knocked his head to the ground, made a "dong", and hit Xiao Suo's heart directly.

He was leaving after all.

Going to the west, thousands of miles away, difficult and dangerous, not able to meet each other, one voice and two faces are lost, thousands of mountains are far apart and it is difficult to meet again.

Shen Yan was happy in his heart, but he was also reluctant to part with his unique treasure.He said it lightly, but even an experienced battlefield veteran like Fan Changyun was defeated and captured. The viciousness of this battle can be seen.

Whether this trip will be able to come back is still unknown.

"You take this with you." Xiao Suo went back and packed him some luggage overnight, wishing he could bring him the General's Mansion, he couldn't put it down, and that was also useful, holding a wandering soul pillow in his hand, he said: "You I'm used to this, I'm afraid you'll get a stiff neck when you change the pillow at first."

Shen Yan threw away his hands and said with a smile: "How can you be so particular, there is a uniform bed in the army, so you don't need to bring it yourself."

"Then you have to take this fox fur with you?" He tried his best to stuff the clothes into his big bag, "It's very cold in Xifan, you have to take it with you, otherwise you will definitely freeze!"

"All right, all you have to do is take it with you." Shen Yan didn't want to tell him that the army was dressed in military uniform and couldn't wear the luxurious fox fur at all.

"By the way!" Xiao Suo suddenly remembered again, "I haven't put in your particularly effective Jinchuang medicine yet. You also need to bring some medicine for frostbite. What if it gets damaged by the frost."

Shen Yan shook his head and sighed, pulled him into his arms and hugged him, and said softly: "There are military doctors in the army, so you don't need to bring your own medicine. Don't be too busy, you will leave the day after tomorrow. Just talk to me."

"What?" The more he got to this time, the more he didn't know what to say. "You... When will you come back after this trip?"

"It's hard to say." Shen Yan pushed away a few bundles on the bed, hugged him and sat down and said, "If it goes well, I may come back in a few months. If it doesn't go well... one or two years, it's all possible."

Xiao Suo lowered his head slowly, aggrieved and said: "It's been so long..."

"I'll write you a letter." Shen Yan pressed him to his chest, pressed his cheek against him, and said, "I promise, it will be resolved quickly without delay. I will write to you from the moment I set off, One letter a day, and order someone to send it back quickly. From basic necessities of life, to who you have met, what you have done, what you have said, and what you have eaten, write it all down, as if I were still by your side. OK?"

"Okay." Xiao Suo rubbed his head, and said: "Take Ruan Tong with you, he is careful and can concoct ointment. With him taking care of you, I feel more at ease."

Shen Yan kissed his temples and said with a smile, "Aren't you jealous?"

"I believe you." Xiao Suo's voice was soft, as if he was choking.

"What's the matter?" Shen Yan hurriedly held up his face, seeing the traces of tears on it, "little fool, why are you crying? I went here to kill the enemy, so how can I think about it? Oh, don't cry , It hurts to see. Let's not let Ruan Tong follow, okay?"

Xiao Suo wiped away his tears and said, "Who is crying because of this. I... can't bear you."

"I can't bear you either." Shen Yan bowed his head and kissed him, "If it wasn't for the urgent situation at the front, I wouldn't go again because of you. If you don't become an official, I'll take you with me. But I'm glad you are an official, There are no eyes on the battlefield, if there is a mistake with you, don't I regret it for the rest of my life!"

"I'm not going to be an official anymore!" Xiao Suo said anxiously, "I'm not going to be an official anymore, you take me there, don't leave me behind!"

Shen Yan smiled and scratched his straight nose: "Fool, the official also said that if you don't do it, you can not do it? It's not easy for you to pass the exam, so how can you give up easily. Besides, I let you stay at home, I don't mean to abandon you How can I feel at ease without you looking after such a big general's mansion?"

"With you at home, I also have a concern on the front line. I know that there is someone still waiting for me there, and someone who is still looking forward to my safety. In the past, no one cared about my life, but now it is different. Now I have You. For you, I have to take care of myself."

Xiao Suo's heart was touched, his forehead rested on his shoulder, holding his hand, he couldn't help but shed tears again: "You think about what you said, don't break your promise. I will obediently wait for you at home, for as long as I want. I don't see Cheng Chi, nor Ouyang Xu, I'm just waiting for you. You must always remember that you must come back early and come back safely."

"I remember." Shen Yan patted his back to coax him, "I remember everything."

Remember you are waiting for me.
