In fact, he had even been the one to bear the heaviest of the punishments when he had caused trouble.
However, that time, the Great Elder knew that the final reason was because he had been taught a lesson and knew that he had made a mistake.
It was also from then on that Shang Zhiqing listened to them obediently and stayed at the academy to study with the Shang Clan's few siblings. It was just that her lessons were more demanding than those people.
Until she turned fifteen and came out to gain experience.
She was protected by the other guards, so there was no place for him to use it. However, she knew that he was still paying attention to her and protecting her at all times.
This favor was too heavy for her to bear.
Especially now that she was already with Shen Haoxuan, it was even more so necessary to sever the relationship between them that was basically impossible to begin.
Shang Zhiqing kept on talking, and no matter where she thought about it, she did not know that her thoughts were especially messy, and that sometimes, his words did not make sense. But Shen Haoxuan was able to feel that person's deep love and care for Shang Zhiqing from Shang Zhiqing's messy words.
His heart was sour, but he knew that they had grown up together. That person had protected Shang Zhiqing with all her might, and the feelings of a childhood sweetheart couldn't be compared to his.
He just so happened to be the person Shang Zhiqing liked.
"He is the person who treats me the best in this world. I will never break off all relations with him, otherwise it would be too heartless. But I can assure you that he will be my brother for the rest of his life. Except for my brother, I have no other relationship with him. "
As soon as Shang Zhiqing finished speaking, she pulled Shang Zhiqing into her embrace.
When Shang Zhiqing wasn't paying attention, Shen Haoxuan had already jumped onto Shang Zhiqing's horse.
closed his eyes as he felt the warm feeling in his chest and his continuously beating heart behind him. He then moved his body closer to Shen Haoxuan's chest.
"I understand." Shen Haoxuan said in a low voice.
Even if Shang Zhiqing didn't explain it to him, he could understand. But Shang Zhiqing being willing to explain to him made him even more overjoyed.
When Ji Rufeng saw Shang Zhiqing and Shen Haoxuan again, his lips were a little swollen red, and his eyes rippled slightly as he smiled towards Shang Zhiqing.
Shang Zhiqing was a little shy, but she still replied Ji Rufeng with a light smile.
However, she pinched Shen Haoxuan when he wasn't paying attention.
If not for being captivated by Shen Haoxuan's gentle gaze, she would not have been able to kiss him in the forest and be discovered by him.
But even so. Shang Zhiqing touched her slightly swollen lips, but the corner of her mouth slightly curled up, revealing a bit of a blissful and sweet smile.
Along the way, the food was safely escorted to Mo Bei.
However, they met Mo Yun on the way, and although Mo Yun didn't do anything to them, Ji Rufeng's expression and emotions were a little strange.
Both Shang Zhiqing and Shen Haoxuan noticed, but Shen Haoxuan did not care, on the contrary, Shang Zhiqing had been observing Ji Rufeng's expression the whole time, which made him want to leave Mo Bei.
"What's the situation now?" Shen Haoxuan sat in the tent and asked.
At the head of the tent, in front of a desk, was a map of the army.
Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong looked at the army map with a frown. No one replied to Shen Haoxuan's questions.
Shen Haoxuan was not in a hurry as he slowly sipped on his tea.
In the tea mist, he could still see Xuanyuan Chen's handsome face, with his brows knitted tightly, as if he was pondering about some thorny problem.
Xie Qingrong flipped through the map several times, but still failed to think of a better way.
Furthermore, the Xuanyuan family and the Mo family had a deep relationship a hundred years ago. Wu Huan and the Heavenly Sage had long reached the point where they would not stop until they were dead. Now that the person who held the power of Wu Huan had a grudge with the Mo family, the Heavenly Sage could take advantage of this and take Wu Huan into his pocket.
If he missed this opportunity, it would be extremely difficult for him to find another opportunity like this.
Therefore, Xuanyuan Chen, Xie Qingrong, Shen Haoxuan and Shang Zhiqing were able to discuss this matter in the tent. As for Ji Rufeng, he had already left the Mo Bei. He said that he had some important matters to attend to, but no one knew what they were.
But seeing that Ji Rufeng was still insisting, the few of them could not stop him. On the other hand, when Shang Zhiqing saw that Ji Rufeng was panicking, the smile on his face became more profound.
"Chen, if we take advantage of this situation and attack, it might be difficult. The borders of the Mo Bei were too long and there were too many weak points. Once the defensive line breaks, it will be extremely difficult to repair it again. "
"Moreover, the Mo Bei is the last line of defense for the Heavenly Sage. If not for the internal conflict, if Wu Huan's army did not have any leaders, if they were to attack a few more times, the Mo Bei's defense lines would have been in chaos. At that time, there may be even greater war. "
Xie Qingrong frowned. As she analyzed the situation, she marked out an important line of defense and a path that she could take.
Although they had thought about it carefully, no one could guarantee that taking advantage of the situation was the best way to attack.
Between Wu Huan and the Heavenly Saint, although there had been many small battles and large scale battles, there had never been a true battle between them.
If the Mo Bei was to rashly attack, Wu Huan would most likely stake everything on one throw. Gathering all his forces, he can fight against the Heavenly Sage.
Xuanyuan Chen listened to Xie Qingrong's analysis, rubbed his chin, and then pointed at a canyon.
The bottom of the canyon was where the Mo Bei and Wu Huan had disintegrated, and it was also the most dangerous place.
If they could use this place to besiege Wu Huan's army in this valley, it would be a good plan. But, how could they surround Wu Huan's troops?
After quietly observing the map for a while, Xuanyuan Chen chuckled: "This canyon is long and narrow and deep, and if we are not careful, we will fall to our deaths. We can use our plans to lure Wu Huan's army here, and at that time, Wu Huan will be like a bird in a cage."
However, this plan was too dangerous, and he did not have any confidence. If he did not use it well, it would cause unnecessary casualties.
But Xuanyuan Chen did not say the last sentence.
"Yes." Xie Qingrong replied softly, "Then what should we do next?"
Currently, Ji Rufeng's military rations had already been delivered to the campsite. A year's worth of military rations was sufficient.
From Xuanyuan Chen's point of view, he could see that Xie Qingrong's lowered eyelashes were gently blinking, and the expression in his eyes was concealed by her long eyelashes, making it difficult to see his clearly.
"A Rong, there must be a battle between the Heavenly Sage and Wu Huan, casualties and sacrifices are inevitable. However, if we can win the true dawn after this battle, then everything will be worth it. "
Xuanyuan Chen understood the worry in Xie Qingrong's heart. Although Xie Qingrong's hands were drenched in blood, she still had a good place in her heart. When the Nanping was flooded, he had already discovered the imperceptible kindness and softness in the bottom of Xie Qingrong's heart.
