Dad Wanan

This time, Shi Xirong led his troops to the expedition to conquer those alien races who invaded the border by way of India.This alien race cannot be referred to as any one nation, but is actually a mixture of several races.It is also because of this that it is the most difficult to cut the weeds.

Shi Xirong fought against them several times before, and returned with a big victory, and then after a while, they made a comeback.It's like a mouse that can't be chased away. It's really annoying, but it can't be underestimated.There was a time when Xuanyuanhuan did not send reinforcements, but let the border guards fight, and almost lost several cities in a row.

Their style of play is both special and weird, and it is difficult to interpret it with ordinary tactics.

And Shi Xirong had a certain understanding of their tactics after the previous few battles, so this time Xuanyuanhuan assigned him to go to the conquest without thinking.

In this battle, even if it was a big victory, it would still be a headache afterwards.They attacked again and again, no matter how they were defeated, the troops here were still somewhat damaged.Furthermore, for this endless battle, you will be tired and the soldiers will be tired, and it will be a disadvantage if it goes on for a long time.No wonder Xuanyuanhuan would say that it would save trouble if a prince was thrown out to make peace with Yin Guo.

Thinking of getting married, Shi Xirong naturally thought of the prince who was still not much like a prince.

If Xuanyuanhuan sees such a prince, he must want to send him far away to get married quickly, but he is afraid that he will make jokes so far away; on the other hand, if Shi Xirong is allowed to get married now For the purpose of handing Ding Chang to Xuanyuan Huan, he was not sure if he could do it.

And if he did, the most dramatic result would be that Xuanyuanhuan would appoint him to lead the marriage team to India.In addition to leading troops to fight, generals sometimes also perform such errands.If such a dramatic thing really happened, would he look up to the sky and laugh three times?

He really wants to look up to the sky and laugh now, he is really too wrong, he is still on the march, but he is thinking wildly about these things.

Can't think about it anymore, and shouldn't think about it anymore, he shook his head and got rid of the extra thoughts from his mind.

At this time, a soldier rushed over with a whip and said: "General, there is a man who claims to be your personal servant. He said that you forgot the sword "Jinghong" in the mansion, and he brought it to you."

Shi Xirong was taken aback for a moment, close servant?Shocked?

"Bring him here."

"Yes."

After a while, people came.

This young man on a white horse has a black square scarf wrapped around his head and the clothes of a servant in the general's mansion, holding in his arms the sword "Jinghong" that has accompanied Shi Xirong for more than ten years.

"You—" Shi Xirong glared at the boy, his face was cloudy and uncertain, he had never wanted to hang a person up and beat him so hard like this moment.

"Master General." The boy smiled and offered Jinghong both hands, "Your saber."

Shi Xirong took a deep breath and tried his best to suppress his anger.

No wonder, last night he found that Saber Jinghong was missing, and even the servants in the mansion said they didn't know, thinking it was his own carelessness, but who would have thought that someone deliberately hid it.

He took Jinghong back, cast his eyes hard, and said under his throat, "What are you doing?"

"It's nothing!" Ding Chang still smiled, and lowered his voice: "I just want to follow the general, to see the general's heroic killing of the enemy!"

Shi Xirong reprimanded: "Nonsense!" If possible, he really wanted to pick up this misbehaving brat and beat his ass, "The battlefield is not a place for children's play, and you are not allowed to play around. Go back!"

"Go back?" Ding Chang scratched his cheeks in embarrassment, "But look, the sky is getting dark, even if I hurry back, I will definitely not be able to return to the capital before tomorrow. General, you can rest assured that I will be alone outside Hang around all night?"

What he said was indeed right, and because what he said was right, Shi Xirong became more and more annoyed, because he clearly planned to appear at this time, neither sooner nor later.

Shi Xirong tried to calm down, thought for a while, and still had a countermeasure, "I'll send some people to escort you back."

"Oh, how can this work?" Ding Chang shook his head unhurriedly, "Your soldiers are all going to fight. At this kind of juncture, it's not good to lose one. And I'm just a valet, so what? Can you bother the general to send someone to escort you? If you say it, it will have a big impact.”

"you……"

"Changer is not filial."

This sudden sentence really made Shi Xirong very surprised, and looked at Ding Chang without knowing it.Ding Chang's smile was different from before, showing a hint of helplessness and inexplicable firm determination.

"What did you say?" Shi Xirong frowned.

"I... I don't mean anything, I promised to wait at home, but I regret it." Ding Chang said softly, but his eyes seemed to be serious, fixed on Shi Xirong's eyes, "I don't want to Wait, I want to watch you. Even if you scold me, it’s okay to take care of my family when I go back, I just beg you, let me stay by your side.”

"This...isn't right." Shi Xirong frowned and shook his head.

If it were any other time, he would definitely agree to Ding Chang's request and also wanted Ding Chang to be by his side.However, only at this moment, he could not agree.

How could he lead Ding Chang into danger on the battlefield where life and death were on the line?

"Do you still remember that you once said a word?" Ding Chang said unwaveringly, "You said, you wish me good dreams every night. At that time, did you mean it from the bottom of your heart?"

"certainly."

"That's right, you can't go back on your word."

"Me, backtracking?"

"You wish me good dreams every night, but you left me at home, worrying about your safety, worrying about your safety, and remembering that you don't know when you will return. How can I sleep peacefully one day? You are like this, Not reneging on what you said, but what is it?"

"This..." Shi Xirong couldn't help being speechless.

He stared at Ding Chang wordlessly for a long while, and finally, he called out in a low voice.

In fact, even if Ding Chang said that, it is not impossible for him to refute.However, what he still couldn't refute was the mood that flowed out of Ding Chang's words.

Let Ding Chang remember, let Ding Chang worry, how can he actually be safe?Furthermore, even if Ding Chang is forced to send away today, there is no guarantee that he will not come after him again.The road is getting farther and farther. It is really not safe for him to walk alone. It is better to keep him under your nose so that you can feel more at ease.Shi Xirong knew that there was also his own selfishness in this, but he could no longer blame himself.

People always have selfishness.

"Since this is the case, you must assure me that you will follow my orders on the road." He said seriously, "Since your identity is not open to the public, there are many places where you need to be cautious in your words and deeds. Besides, I will not allow you to follow me Let’s go to the battlefield together. When I go, you must stay behind and don’t rush in. If I find that you have entered the battlefield, I will deal with you military law, no joke.”

"En!" Ding Chang nodded heavily, "I will definitely listen to you in everything, just don't worry, I will be very obedient."

Looking at his smiling face, Shi Xirong only had a wry smile.

good?He had never met a wilder boy than him.

At nightfall, the marching team passed a grassy field and set up camp on the spot.Marching generally does not go through towns, because there are too many people and towns cannot accommodate them.

The next day we had to get up early to go on our way, so except for the night watch soldiers, everyone else went back to their tents early to rest.After discussing with several lieutenants, Shi Xirong also returned to his camp.As soon as the curtain was lifted, a figure jumped up and hugged his shoulders, hanging on his body.

This person is naturally Ding Chang.

It's inconvenient for Ding Chang's identity to be disclosed, and it's inconvenient for him to sleep in the same tent with other people. In addition, it's not easy to drive soldiers from other camps together to make a tent for him alone.Therefore, Shi Xirong could only let him sleep in his own tent, as long as another mattress was laid for him.

At this moment, Shi Xirong didn't know what kind of trick Ding Chang was playing, and he didn't even bother to tear him off his body.Anyway, when his hands are sore, he will always fall off by himself.

Shi Xirong walked towards the candlelight, and when he was about to blow out the candlelight, he suddenly heard Ding Chang yell, "I beg you, this is the biggest request in my life, please promise me!"

"Huh?" Shi Xirong lowered his head suspiciously, but seeing Ding Chang's expression of panic and helplessness, he couldn't help becoming worried. He held Ding Chang's hand that was still tightly grasped on his shoulder with one hand, and held Ding Chang's hand with the other. He hugged him by the waist and asked, "Why, what happened?"

"I, I..." Ding Changxuan was on the verge of crying, and he said with a sigh of relief: "Let me sleep with you, okay? You take me to sleep, just this one night, please."

"What?" Shi Xirong thought he heard it wrong, and was about to ask more clearly, when there was a deafening thunder outside the tent.

Ding Chang yelled "Wow", jumped off him, squatted on the ground, and tightly covered his ears with both hands.

Only then did Shi Xirong vaguely understand.

This kid, even though he is usually fearless and reckless, he is actually timid.And what he fears the most seems to be thunder and lightning.

Before Shi Xirong returned to the camp, there were intermittent thunderclaps, he didn't take it seriously at that time, but he didn't expect that a person in his tent was scared to death.

He squatted down and pressed the top of Ding Chang's head.

"Chang'er."

Ding Chang didn't respond, covering his ears too tightly.

Shi Xirong had no choice but to force his hands away from his ears, and said in a deep voice, "Don't be afraid, no ghosts will come out of the thunder and lightning. I will sleep under the same tent as you. I am right here. You do not be afraid."

"Oh, I don't want to..." Ding Chang shook his head again and again, he seemed to have been scared out of his wits by the previous thunder, "Take me to sleep, don't abandon me, hug me to sleep, okay? Please, please." Well, please don't leave me alone..."

This proposal must be said to be difficult for the strong.

What happened in the night not long ago is still fresh in Shi Xirong's memory. Whenever he thinks about it, he feels a burst of annoyance and bitterness in his heart, and even worries that Ding Chang will ignore him just because of it.

But at this moment he said, let me hug him to sleep?

"Chang'er, I didn't leave you alone." Shi Xirong could only try his best to appease, "Aren't I here with you? I won't leave you, I'll be by your side, watching you sleep until you fall asleep, okay?"

"No, no, I close my eyes, how do I know if you are here, I don't know if you are gone..."

"I'll hold your hand."

"Well, stop talking... I beg you like this and you won't agree, I won't beg you anymore, you don't love me at all..."

"Chang'er..."

"Then leave me alone, let me fend for myself, leave me alone."

Ding Chang said in despair, struggling to stand up, suddenly, there was another burst of thunder.

"Wow!" With a scream, Ding Chang jumped high, leaped forward, and hung on Shi Xirong again.This time, he even used both hands and feet.

Shi Xirong really didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so far he has realized that such a half-hearted appeasement cannot appease Ding Chang who is completely frightened.

Generally speaking, boys shouldn't be frightened by thunder and lightning. It's just because of the flood that destroyed Ding Chang's hometown.Ding Chang even saw with his own eyes that a family of five hugged together was struck by lightning and turned into five pieces of coke.

Ding Chang, who was young when he was young, fell ill due to fright. He was born with a little fear of thunder, and later he was even more afraid of it to the bone.

"Okay, I'll take you to sleep." Shi Xi Rong Wuzhe said, patting Ding Chang's back lightly, "Chang'er, can you hear me? I'll take you to sleep so you can relax more ?”

"Woooo..." Ding Chang was moved to tears, "I heard that, thank you, thank you so much, woo... I will thank you all my life, you are a good person."

"Fool." Shi Xirong was distressed and pityed, but more helpless.

Why is there such a thing in the world?He must have owed this kid in his previous life.

"Don't cry, be obedient." He could only coax him while stroking Ding Chang's trembling back, "Don't cry, I promised to accompany you, right?"

"Wuwu...don't pay attention to me, I'll be done crying for a while, it's okay, it's okay..." Hearing this, Ding Chang seemed to be comforting him in reverse.

This really made him not know what to say, he sighed lowly, he turned around and was about to extinguish the candle, but after thinking about it, he didn't know whether he could extinguish it.

"Candlelight, do you want to keep it?" He asked Ding Chang.

"It's okay, it's okay to turn it off, as long as you stay with me."

"Um."

After the candle was extinguished, Shi Xirong walked towards the bed spread on the grass.Since Ding Chang was hanging on him all the time, it was difficult for him to stand upright, so he had to step off his boots first, lift the quilt with his toes, then walk onto the bed, and finally sat down slowly.

"Chang'er, put your hands down, or you won't be able to fall asleep."

"Oh!" Ding Chang let go of his hand obediently, and received a signal from Shi Xirong to move him to the side.Then, the two fell asleep together.

Because he first signed the request to sleep with him in his arms, so Shi Xirong hugged him to sleep at this moment, not hugging him too tightly, and left him a breathing room in his arms.

Just hugging Ding Chang lightly like this, listening to his slight and soft breathing, for some reason, Shi Xirong suddenly thought of what he once said to himself, what he should do as a father he likes three things.

Is this considered a trick of good fortune?After listening to it at the time, I felt that the first thing that was more reliable was not made, but the last two things that were more outrageous happened first.

The world is really unexpected.

Shi Xirong smiled bitterly silently, at the same time, there was another burst of thunder outside.

The body in his arms trembled in horror, curled up even tighter, and covered his ears with his hands.

If you let him sleep in such an awkward position for a night, it will definitely be a sleepless night.

"Chang'er." Shi Xirong pulled his hands apart, raised his head, let him rest on his arm, just enough to cover his downward facing ear, and then covered his other with his hand ears so that his hands would be free.

"Hmm...thank you." Ding Chang muttered in a low voice, raised his eyes slightly and glanced upwards, only seeing the resolute jaw curve and the protruding Adam's apple in front of him.He swallowed involuntarily, his heart beating wildly like a deer.

In fact, when Shi Xirong wanted to sleep in his arms, his original intention was nothing else.He is really afraid of thunder, and he has always missed every thunder and lightning night when his father hugged him to sleep.However, Shi Xirong is not his father after all.

In father's arms, he only felt very at ease and at ease, but in Shi Xirong's arms, he felt very nervous besides at ease.

Every breath Shi Xirong took fell on the top of his head.The strong chest rose and fell steadily in front of his eyes, and the steady breath rushed towards his face like a tide, almost making him feel unable to breathe.

Because the two were close, Shi Xirong quickly noticed that Ding Chang was wriggling slightly, wondering if he was uncomfortable, so he asked, "Chang'er, what's wrong with you?"

"No, nothing..." Ding Chang replied with a guilty conscience, not daring to let Shi Xirong discover his intentions.

Shi Xirong is not the only one who still remembers what happened that night.The difference is that when Ding Chang thinks about it, he doesn't feel annoyed, but rather shy and sweet.

He remembered what Shi Xirong said at the end, in fact, he didn't want it to be his father either.Does that mean that Shi Xirong's love for him like today, all kinds of love and affection, does not treat him as a child, but because of... that kind?

If so, then, if he wants to continue what happened that night... and then tell Shi Xirong that he is really not his son and he lied to him, will he still blame himself?

Even if you blame it, it's done after all.However, if that's all, it's meaningless.

Even if Shi Xirong accepts him to stay by his side out of a sense of responsibility, he still blames his deception in his heart. If he doesn't have affection for him, Ding Chang doesn't want such a forced result.

Just because he was worried about this kind of result, he was also hesitating at this time.He doesn't want to get along with Shi Xirong as his son anymore... However, it would take too much risk to expose it.

Ding Changchi hesitated, thinking, shy, and afraid, and even wanted to simply go back to his bed, and not face Shi Xirong, so his mind would not be so disturbed.But he was reluctant, reluctant to part with this person's embrace, this person's body temperature, and even his every breath.

There was still thunder outside the tent.

The people in the tent were in a state of disarray.
