Shen Yunxu had been wandering outside Zhu Quan's camp for a long time.

In the quiet night, the buzzing of insects is endless, and the starlight is speechless. Should we go in or turn around and leave?He is always hesitating.After arriving in the grassland, he has been living in a tent with Zhu Quan. If he doesn't take this step to enter, he will have to sleep outside tonight.

The silvery moonlight reflected the jade-like black eyes, and there was a wry smile on his lips.

As soon as he got away from Zhu Di's fiery embrace, he couldn't face Zhu Quan's hurt eyes immediately.Caught between the relationship between Zhu Di and Zhu Quan, he was already at a loss, maybe if he walked outside all night, the cool night breeze could sort out his disordered mood.

There are some things he has to face all the time, but let's escape for a while tonight.

"Yun Xu, Yun Xu!"

He turned around and wanted to leave, but his wrist was strongly grasped, and his body fell into the tent.

The familiar embrace, with the clean breath of a young man, tightly embraced him.Zhu Quan whispered his name one after another, with a voice that was almost choked with pain.In an instant, Shen Yunxu's heart ached, and he finally broke the boy's heart.

"Seventeen, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Zhu Quan hugged him and refused to let go, "Yunxu, I've been waiting for you to open the curtain and walk in. Why did you turn around and leave in the end? Don't leave, okay? Don't leave me."

"Seventeen!"

Shen Yunxu stretched out his arms to hug Zhu Quan back, feeling his face pressed against his chest, without any barrier as before.His eyes were gradually clouded with mist. This young man's wholeheartedness made his whole heart ache.Why is he still unwilling to give up on him even in this situation?

The white smoke was steaming upwards, Zhu Quan poured hot water on Shen Yunxu's body, and even washed his hair carefully, as if to wash away all the smell and traces left by Zhu Di on his body.Shen Yunxu lay naked on the edge of the bathtub, some words had been lingering on his lips for a long time.

"Seventeen, let me go."

Zhu Quan's hand holding the cloth towel paused in the air. Shen Yunxu originally thought that his emotions would be agitated again, but he just looked at him calmly, with a faint light shining in his eyes.

"You decided to follow my fourth brother?"

"I just want to be alone."

Shen Yunxu shook his head. "I'm really tired, Seventeen, let me go back to Jiangnan."

Zhu Quan stared at him, "Does it mean that if I don't agree, you won't leave?"

Shen Yunxu lowered his eyes, this young man, is he willing to let go after being hurt so badly over and over again?Zhu Quan suddenly pushed him away and broke out of the camp. He walked in such a hurry that he knocked everything around him to the ground.

"Seventeen!"

Shen Yunxu was dripping with water and wanted to hold him, but Zhu Quan shook him off vigorously, and there was a splash of water, Shen Yunxu knocked over the tub, and hot water flowed everywhere.He pressed his shoulder that was about to collapse, and still looked at Zhu Quan persistently, "If you stay only because of guilt, it's totally unfair to you. I don't want to hurt you once or a second time!"

"You're pushing me!"

Zhu Quan gritted his teeth in pain, "You know that I can't let go, your leaving is the greatest harm to me!"

Shen Yunxu put on his clothes and chased out of the tent, Zhu Quan lay on his back under the starlight.He spread out his body, his slender and strong limbs have gotten rid of the frailty of a young man, and now, like Zhu Di, he is also capable of supporting a world.

He covered his eyes with his hands to prevent his frustration from falling into Shen Yunxu's eyes.

From the first time they met on Gouling Mountain, he was the one who pestered Shen Yunxu. His nature was unrestrained, and he decided to chase after what he liked, and he never encountered setbacks.But tonight he finally understood that it doesn't mean that if you pay, you will be rewarded. There is no reason for Shen Yunxu to like him in turn just because he likes him.

How can human feelings be the same as those of foxes?

Shen Yunxu would rather not have him than Zhu Di, and chose to leave alone.Having pushed the soft-hearted him into a predicament, Zhu Quan didn't know whether he should fulfill his wish and let him go, or continue to use his kindness to keep him by his side.

"Seventeen!"

The footsteps approached, and the turbulent mood gradually calmed down. Zhu Quan felt guilty for pushing Shen Yunxu down with his heavy hands just now.

He said hoarsely: "Yun Xu, come here."

Shen Yunxu sat down beside him, just like when he was by the river the night before, letting the starlight pour on them.

Zhu Quan stretched out his hand to rub his bruised shoulder, "Yunxu, I have always wanted to protect you and prevent you from being taken away by anyone again, but I can only watch you die helplessly. For more than a year I keep looking for you, trying very hard to adapt to being a prince of Ming Dynasty. I want to make achievements and have power in my hands, so that when we meet, you will change my mind and think that I am worthy of you. Did I do it? Not good enough, so in the end you have to leave my side?"

There were tears in his eyes, and Shen Yunxu almost gave up.

With mixed feelings in his heart, he whispered, "Seventeen, it's not that you didn't do well enough, it's that I'm not worth it."

"You are worth it, and I am willing to exchange everything I have worked hard for for you."

Zhu Quan put his hand on his face and rubbed back and forth. At that moment, he had already made a decision in his heart. "Yunxu, give me a little more time. The Naadam Conference will end in nine days, and I will give you the answer on the last day."

Shen Yunxu was held in his arms and tossed about for most of the night. He was really tired, and he closed his eyes wearily.Zhu Quan rested his chin on his hair, and the two hugged for a long time under the starlight as they did the night before by the river.

The gentle river was flowing, Shen Yunxu tied the reins of the horse to the weeping poplar tree, picked up the cloth bag containing the pyrophyllite and the carving knife, pushed aside the reeds and walked straight inside.

Opened his heart last night, he seems to have convinced Zhu Quan.Before he left, he wanted to carve the five-color seal, which was a gift he promised to Zhu Quan.The Naadam Conference was still going on, and it was too noisy in the camp, so he chose the quiet riverside.The reed grass was higher than the head, he stretched out his hand to push it away, and felt the soft touch under his feet, and his ankle had been severely clamped, he was so frightened that he almost screamed out.

The other party's body was covered in blood, and he was staring at him full of hatred. It turned out to be Yi Wei!

"Afraid of me?"

Yi Wei wiped his face with his hand, the blood and dust on his face made him look even more vicious and dilapidated.

"How did you do this?"

Shen Yunxu squatted down and reached out to help him up.

Yi Wei shook him off forcefully, "You should be happy that I ended up in this kind of situation."

"Being able to beat you like this, you don't fight back, is it the order of the prince?"

Shen Yunxu inspected the stick wound on his body, feeling a chill in his heart, "Yi Wei, is it worth it? Have you thought it through?"

"He drove me out of Prince Yan's mansion! He drove me out for you!"

Yi Wei burst into tears suddenly, no matter how strong he was, he was just a 16-year-old boy who had been living in the land of Liaodong, but suddenly lost all his relatives.Shen Yunxu hugged his shoulder, bitterness filled his heart, "Yi Wei, do you like the prince?"

"Why do you ask knowingly?"

Yi Wei turned her face away.Trying his best to express himself in front of Zhu Di, being competitive, how could he be so stupid?With a wry smile, Shen Yunxu washed Yi Wei's wound with river water, then took off his robe and put it on for him. "I shouldn't have brought you out in the first place, Yi Wei, you'd better go back to Liaodong, that's the right place for you to live in."

"I don't need you to pity me!"

"Not pitiful."

Shen Yunxu sighed, "I have already decided to leave the north and return to the south of the Yangtze River. I can't bear to see you make mistakes again, lying and sleeping in the wild alone, with no one around you to talk to, and bear the bitter fruit by yourself. "

Yi Wei glared at him, "You won't stay by Wang Ye's side?"

"I can't stay."

Shen Yunxu shook his head, there are two people in one heart, no matter what the choice is, the result will not be perfect.The blood and dust on Yi Wei's face were washed away by Shen Yunxu dipping a cloth in the river water, and he remained silent, letting Shen Yunxu's fingers move on his face.After being beaten last night, he came to the river alone with his wounds. He lay down in the field all night and was abandoned by everyone. The bitterness surged up again.

His throat choked up, and it took a long time before he opened his mouth and said, "Yun Xu, I'm sorry."

"Yi Wei, let's go back to the camp first, wait for your injury to recover, and then go back to Liaodong."

Shen Yunxu helped Yi Wei up from the ground, this time, he didn't shake off his hand again.The two were walking along the river, and Yi Wei suddenly held Shen Yunxu down, "Don't move, there are people nearby!"

With an unusual vigilance on his face, Shen Yunxu stopped in his tracks.

When he was in Liaodong, Yi Wei was a very good hunter, he had the keen sense of touch like a hound.Sure enough, after it quieted down, Shen Yunxu heard the rushing water and the suppressed human voice.Passing through the gaps in the reeds, he saw bamboo rafts coming from the opposite bank, and the Mongolian soldiers disappeared into the reeds after landing, and the number of them was increasing.

Shen Yunxu once met Mahamu in the Mongolian tribe's "Kukou" market, and when he saw him again, his heart throbbed.Immediately after Mahamu landed, someone stood on the shore to meet him. After that person turned his face sideways, Shen Yunxu saw his appearance clearly. It turned out to be Tuo Huan, the deputy commander of the guards of Prince Ning's Mansion!

"Tuo Huan turned out to be an internal response?!"

Shen Yunxu held Yi Wei's hand tightly. Zhu Quan's trust in Tuo Huan was second only to Yao Ping and Yuwen Tiemu. Tuo Huan rescued the injured Zhu Quan in the "Kukou" market, no one would doubt him loyalty.There is such a traitor hidden by Zhu Quan's side, and the situation is really worrying.

Yi Wei frowned, "Yun Xu, look at them, they plan to lurk until night to attack the camp of the Naadam Conference!"

In the camp, apart from the herdsmen who came hundreds of miles away to attend the meeting, there were also the five princes of Ming Dynasty. If Tuo Huan cooperated with the Mongols internally and externally, it would be easy to succeed in a surprise attack!

Shen Yunxu said with palpitations: "Yi Wei, we must hurry back and report."

The reed grass was blown by the wind, and they used the grass to hide themselves. Once they moved, they would be spotted by the Mongols immediately.Shen Yunxu's horse was still tied under the weeping poplar tree outside the reed grass, and they would be discovered soon.There is absolutely no way for two people to escape together, and it will be a dead end if they wait any longer. What can they do to escape?

Yi Wei gritted her teeth and said, "I'll lure them away, and you immediately ride back to the camp to report."

"They have bows and arrows in their hands. My equestrian skills are too poor to run out of the range they shoot. Besides, you are still injured." Shen Yunxu pressed his hand and said in a low voice, "I'll lure them away. , you ride back, don’t look back no matter what!”

Shen Yunxu withdrew his hand, and Yi Wei watched as he bowed into the grass.

He once scolded this person for being weak, and also had deep resentment towards him because of jealousy, but at a critical moment, Shen Yunxu did not flinch or fear at all.Yi Wei's eyes filled with heat, he gritted his teeth and groped in the opposite direction, left the reeds and quickly got on the horse's back.

Regardless of the stick wound on his body, he clamped the horse's belly, and the mount kicked up yellow dust, and galloped towards the camp at lightning speed.There was a commotion in the reeds behind him, Yi Wei knew that he could not turn back, he had never been so anxious in his life, he wanted to bring reinforcements to rescue Shen Yunxu in the shortest possible time!

"Yun Xu, you must support me until I bring someone back to save you!"

In the camp, a riding competition was being held, and the three princes Zhu Di, Zhu Huan and Zhu Quan were all sitting high on the stands.Yi Wei whipped the horsewhip fiercely, broke into the arena suddenly, and ran straight towards the stands.Zhu Di stood up with a cold face, and the guards immediately stepped forward to stop him.

"Yi Wei, are you still here to make trouble today?"

"I want to see the prince, let me in!"

Yi Wei waved the whip in his hand, and the guards pulled him off the horse forcefully.His battered body was thrown to the ground like a rag bag, and Yi Wei was restrained by the guards at once.He lay on the ground and raised his head, looking eagerly at Zhu Di who was walking towards him, "The Mongols crossed the river with bamboo rafts and planned to sneak attack at night, Yun Xu led them away and asked me to report back, my lord, quickly bring someone to rescue him! "

Zhu Quan, who was still on the stand, suddenly got up, and in the blink of an eye, he had pushed aside the guards around him, grabbed Yi Wei's horse and turned on his back.

"Seventeen, wait a minute!"

Zhu Di clasped his wrist, and said in a deep voice: "I'll go with you, fifth brother, you and 21 and [-] guard the camp, and if any Mongolian soldiers come in, immediately set off the smoke."

"His Royal Highness, Yun Xu asked me to bring you a word!"

Yi Wei raised her voice behind Zhu Quan, "Be careful, he is an internal response!"

The reed grass that was higher than the head brushed against his body, and the exposed skin was scratched with bloodstains. Shen Yunxu bowed his body and walked forward in a panic, and the commotion of the Mongols behind him was getting closer and closer.The reeds had come to an end, and he was finally forced to the river.

The river flooded up, and the Mongols surrounded him in a semicircle.

"Shen Yunxu, I never thought it would be you."

Tuo Huan pushed aside the reed grass and came out, a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.

Shen Yunxu stepped back in the mud, Nei Ying's identity was broken, and it was impossible for Tuo Huan to keep him alive today.Sure enough, Tuo Huan raised his hand towards the Mongolian soldiers behind him, and sharp arrows shot at him like locusts.

The sharp arrow with a strong airflow was firmly nailed into his body.

Shen Yunxu's eyes turned black, and his body fell into the cool river water.The gushing blood quickly stained the river red, he struggled to swim a few times, and finally sank like a stone.

Under the leadership of Zhu Di and Zhu Quan, Daming's army swept up like a gust of wind, and Mahamu was unprepared to fight in a panic.

The river with clear water instantly turned into a battlefield for killing.

Flesh and blood flew all over the place, and blood flowed, and Daming's troops completely gained the upper hand.Mahamu fled back to the opposite bank with a few close subordinates on a bamboo raft in embarrassment, and all the 200 people he brought were wiped out. He got on his horse and fled.Tuo Huan boarded the bamboo raft, Zhu Quan immediately drew the longbow in his hand, and shot straight at his vest with an arrow.

"I love you traitor!"

The arrow skill of piercing Yang with one hundred steps hit the chest blade, and Tuo Huan fell down in response.

Zhu Quan jumped off his horse and looked at the corpses by the river.The brocade robe on his body was stained with bright red blood, but he still couldn't find Shen Yunxu's whereabouts.Regardless of the guards' obstruction, he jumped into the water, pulled Tuo Huan off the bamboo raft, and asked eagerly, "What did you do to Yun Xu? Where is he?"

The blood on Tuo Huan's body flowed out, and he had no strength to resist.

"Where is he?"

With red eyes, Zhu Quan shook Tuo Huan's body with all his might, "Give him back to me, I'll let you go right away, give him back to me!"

"He is dead!"

The corners of Tuo Huan's lips curled up, revealing his identity. He didn't believe that Zhu Quan would let him go, but he finally took Shen Yunxu to be buried with him.

"You lied to me, you lied to me!"

Zhu Quan lost control completely, he shook Tuo Huan's body frantically.Zhu Di came over and pressed his hand firmly, "Seventeen, he is dead, let go."

"He said that Yun Xu is dead, and he will lie to me until he dies!"

Zhu Quan did not accept Tuo Huan's words at all.Zhu Di clenched his palms in the sleeves of his robe, and Yi Wei rushed back to the camp to report the news, and they took the initiative to defuse the night attack of the Mongols, but Shen Yunxu lost his whereabouts.The person he hugged just last night was tender and charming, but he died instantly. Apart from Zhu Quan, even he couldn't accept such a result.

Zhu Quan sent people to dig three feet along the river to find Shen Yunxu's whereabouts.

The last time Shen Yunxu died in a hurry, the impression of his cold and stiff corpse was still engraved in his mind, he must not let him experience such a death again!
