The two of them came out of the cabin with Yan Ming. A few steps away, Shen Yan saw her grabbing Xizuo for the first time. He didn't want to fight anymore and they quickly evacuated.
As for the next step, Shen Yanchu contacted Ling Yun and explained to him what he learned from Yan Ming's interrogation.
It turns out that in those days, in order to train war elephants, the Southern Han Dynasty found elephant trainers from Dali.
This time and again, the two countries have become very close to each other.
During this period, a Dali official asked the Southern Han Dynasty to send men to eradicate Shen's mother and son for him.
Prince Xing's Mansion then sent a scout, Yan Ming, who was good at assassination, to mix with the elephant trainers and return to Dali together.
Later, Yan Ming successfully sneaked into the palace, disguised as the captain of the guard, and lurked beside Shen's mother. Even if the matter was eventually exposed, the mastermind could never be found.
In view of this, Shen Yanchu asked Ling Yun to conduct a thorough investigation again and find out everyone who Yan Ming had contacted in the past.
Ling Yun was ordered to go to Dali, and Yan Ming was also taken away by him.
Shen Yanchu didn't want to return home rashly to avoid disturbing others, so he stayed in the Song camp.
On the other hand, the Battle of Shaozhou lasted for several days.
After the Song army captured Shaozhou, they successively captured Yingzhou, and their troops were approaching Panyu.
The ruler of the Southern Han Dynasty panicked and prepared to flee overseas with a ship full of gold, silver and jewels. However, his ministers rebelled and his escape plan failed completely.
Southern Han Dynasty, surrender.
With the end of the war, the food in the Song camp has been further improved in the past few days.
The soldiers, who had not seen meat for a long time, each received a bowl of minced meat noodles.
Liu Xin was holding the noodle bowl with a bitter look on his face.
"What, you don't like to eat?" Liu Ruyan also held the bowl.
"Can you still eat it?" he asked.
"Why can't you eat it?" Liu Ruyan ate it directly to him.
"So many people died on the battlefield. Every time I open or close my eyes, they are filled with blood. The sight of flesh makes me sick."
"Just get used to it."
"How can you get used to it?" He frowned.
Liu Ruyan looked slightly stunned and patted his shoulder, "Don't think too much."
Liu Xin sighed, "I originally wanted to be an iron-blooded man, go to the battlefield and achieve military exploits, but you know, when I really saw the battlefield, I suddenly hated it. I hated that there are always endless wars in this world... Da Zhuang, Why do you think we have to fight?"
Liu Ruyan thought for a while, "Maybe it's because people's desires are hard to satisfy."
After lunch, Liu Ruyan returned to the camp to rest.
Now that the war is over, the Song army will break camp after the repairs are completed.
Liu Ruyan planned to go in the opposite direction and go to Jinling.
In the tent, Dong Qingxian and Gong Shuyu haven't returned yet.
She saw Shen Yanchu sitting alone in the tent, so she walked over and sat with him on the floor, "Are you going to Dali next?"
Shen Yanchu shook his head: "Let Ling Yun handle the Dali side. I'll stay with you for the time being."
Liu Ruyan thought his words were strange, but she didn't take them seriously.
She responded casually: "It's okay to stay here for a while."
Then, she changed her words again, "By the way, does the previous promise still count?"
"What promise?"
Liu Ruyan came closer and stared at him, "Thank you, did you forget?"
Shen Yanchu smiled and said, "I haven't forgotten, but I can't give it to you here."
He got up and walked out.
"I'll give it to you after you get out of the military camp."
"Pretending to be mysterious."
Liu Ruyan quickly followed, and the two walked out of the camp one after the other.
Shen Yanchu walked to a wilderness outside the camp and stopped.
"Where's the thank you gift?" she asked impatiently.
Shen Yanchu faced her and went to untie the tie on her coat.
Liu Ruyan was a little confused.
Ye Xun couldn't help but say: "It seems that the male protagonist is planning to sacrifice himself. Host, don't be afraid. This is the rise of the man, come on!"
Liu Ruyan: “…………”
Shen Yanchu untied his girdle and took off his outer shirt. On the Gebu clothes underneath, there was actually a wine jar hanging on it.
The jar was no more than the size of a palm, black and translucent in color, and wrapped with a hemp rope. He was untying it at this moment.
Shen Yanchu opened the seal and handed it to her: "Try it and see if you like it?"
Liu Ruyan held the wine jar, and the aroma of the wine floated in the wind, with a hint of sweetness in the fragrance.
She took a brief sip and had a mellow aftertaste, "Osmanthus brew?"
He nodded, his smile was shallow and indistinct, "Yes, how does this wine taste?"
"The taste is quite good." Liu Ruyan replied, and asked again, "Did you make this wine?"
"I brewed it."
"I didn't expect you could make wine?"
“I’ve seen people make wine before, so I know a lot about it.”
He spoke lightly, but she felt warm in her heart.
When making wine, osmanthus, mountain grapes, maltose, glutinous rice, and distiller's yeast are used as raw materials. The process is complicated and cannot be completed overnight. It must have taken a lot of effort to make this beautiful wine.
But how did he know that she missed the taste of osmanthus honey.
——Not like wine but better than wine.
Generally the wine is clear, this wine is viscous, generally the wine is spicy, this wine is sweet.
"I'm glad." She thanked her.
She took a small sip, and the familiar taste in her memory swept over her, like being immersed in the soft warm sun, and her heart melted:
In Liujiazhuang, the bright moon is in the sky and the sweet-scented osmanthus is falling.
"My dad didn't come to the backyard, did he?"
"Don't worry, General Liu is still in the house."
"That's good, that's good. It's too uninteresting of you to pour so much for yourself and leave some for me."
"Aren't you afraid that such a big jar won't be enough for the few of us to drink?"
…
After a while, Liu Ruyan shook the wine jar and said, "It tastes good, but it's a pity that it's a little missing."
Shen Yanchu's face was calm: "Alcohol is prohibited in the camp. If you get drunk, it will be difficult to deal with it later."
"That's right." She held the jar on her fingertips, her eyes half-closed, and her face looked slightly tipsy.
Shen Yanchu glanced at her inadvertently. His heroic eyebrows now showed a bit of charm, and his red lips turned a moist red.
Just like the peach blossoms blooming for the first time, they are tempting to pick.
Shen Yanchu's Adam's apple rolled, and he said slowly: "When I'm free, I'll brew a few more jars for you. You won't be greedy when you want to drink."
"Seriously?" Her eyes flashed, staring at the other person for a moment.
He nodded, his heart too soft to look like: "Seriously."
On the night of mid-autumn, break some branches for her and make a jar of fine wine. If you like it, you can do it often in the future.
After hearing the reply, Liu Ruyan suddenly smiled.
At that time, the autumn wind was blowing, and the red maples all over the mountain were as bright as brocade, reflecting her face, making her smile like a flower.
Shen Yanchu watched quietly, as if his chest had been emptied out, and he gradually lost consciousness in this smile.
He held his breath, walked closer, and put his long fingers on the top of her hair.
Liu Ruyan tilted her head.
"Is the sweet-scented osmanthus brew really delicious?" he asked suddenly.
"You haven't tasted it?"
After saying this, she remembered that the devil was a true teetotaler.
Shen Yanchu looked a little disappointed.
Liu Ruyan carefully considered her words: "It tastes like fermented grapes, with the sweet scent of osmanthus honey in it..."
She whispered, and at this time, Shen Yanchu came forward, lowered his head, touched the corner of her lips, and touched her gently.
Soft and soft, with careful testing.
Like a rain butterfly dropping its petals.
A strange emotion spread, and she suddenly froze, her body seemed to be out of control, and she forgot to react for a moment.
The touch between the lips is unfamiliar, hot, delicate, and soft, slowly sliding from the corners of the lips to the beads of the lips.
Wrapped in it, gently rolled around.
Shen Yan hesitated at first, then turned his face to the side and leaned on her shoulder, his eyes as cold as water.
"This wine is sweet." A deep voice passed through my ears, like old wine, intoxicating and refreshing.
She reacted.
Pushing the other person away smoothly, he raised the sweet-scented osmanthus stuffed wine in his hand to his mouth: "Want to taste it? There's a little left in the pot, just take it and bite the person's mouth to taste..."
She whispered.
Shen Yan first stared at her, and saw that the seven emotions between her brows were the same as before, with no strange color at all. He realized again that the girl in front of him was not moved by him.
It's really heartbreaking.
He had always been arrogant, but unrequited love struck him inexplicably.
"It's getting late, let's go back," he said.
"Okay." Liu Ruyan walked towards the military camp.
Shen Yanchu walked side by side with her, but secretly he was thinking something unclear... This girl was as meticulous as dust, how could she not see through his thoughts?
