"Brother Chen Fei, do you think of Sister Gong Yue?" Nalan Ruoxue fell in Shen Fei's arms, staring at the stars in the sky, but said a soft word that shocked Chen Fei. I have to say that a woman's intuition is really too accurate.

Chen Fei's eyes changed and he quickly calmed down his mood. His arms tightened more forcefully, "Silly girl, what are you talking nonsense? I will always be the only one in my heart." After staying with Ruoxue for a long time, he had already learned sweet words and the means to coax women.

Ruoxue said, "Brother Chen Fei, you may not know it yourself. Whenever you think of Sister Gong Yue, your eyes will become very special. Only I can see this special."

"The silly girl knows random thoughts all day long."

"Brother Chen Fei, I know that I will never shake Sister Gong Yue's position in your heart, but please agree to something."

After Ruoxue finished speaking, Chen Fei felt something was wrong, but he was unwilling to think deeply. He became Shen and said, "Let me tell me."

But she never expected that her answer made Ruoxue's gaze dim quickly. Chen Fei had guessed correctly. In fact, she was also testing herself, judgingly testing whether the guess in her heart was correct. If Chen Fei refused to let go, it would make her happier. But now, Chen Fei gave up, which undoubtedly indirectly confirmed the correctness of her guess, so Ruoxue's heart suddenly became cold. She had already told herself in her heart that even if Chen Fei would never forget Gong Yue, as long as he was by his side, as long as he was good to him, it would be enough; but when the cruel reality came, she still couldn't be calm and uncontrollable.

Ruoxue cried, and even the strong wind and rain did not make her cry, but she started crying because of Chen Fei's words, crying, and feeling aggrieved like a child.

As smart as Chen Fei, he immediately understood why the other party was crying and scolded himself for being confused in his heart. This is what is called caring and confusion. When he recalled Lenggong Yue, his heart would naturally become chaotic and panic. If he knew about Lenggong Yue’s rapid warming relationship with Shao Baiyu, his best brother in his life, Chen Fei’s heart would be more than just a word of chaos to describe, but would also "pain" like Nalan Ruoxue now.

"If you need it, why did you cry at night? Brother, I did something wrong and made you feel wronged?" Chen Fei asked knowingly, feeling the other party's soft body trembling in his arms, knowing that he must have hurt Ruoxue's sincerity.

"No, nothing." Ruoxue shook his head vigorously, and while trying to wipe his tears, he said, "Brother Chen Fei, do you know that people really love you and are willing to sacrifice everything for you, including your life. In any case, please remember forever that there will never be anyone in this world who loves you more than I, Nalan Ruoxue."

"Ruoxue, of course I know, of course I know." Chen Fei was at a loss and didn't know how to respond to her.

"So, please be sure to promise someone something, no matter what year or month, no matter where the world is, you will never leave others and let them be with you forever, is that okay?"

"Ruoxue, why are you doing this!"

"Because I love you, because I love you!" When he talked about his emotions, Ruoxue suddenly raised his head and found Chen Fei's thick lips, kissed him, and kissed him without hesitation, just like he did in countless nights.

Even if he cannot possess all of Chen Fei's true heart, Ruoxue will accompany him without regrets. Let his company become a habit to integrate into his bone marrow, and let Chen Fei leave him, he will feel uncomfortable. That's what Ruoxue thinks, his ideas are simple and innocent. It is this innocence that makes Chen Fei desperately guard her and protect her.

Chen Fei was moved by Ruoxue's true love. In addition to being moved, he also had deep love. Chen Fei knew that he liked Ruoxue, liked her innocence, liked her weakness, and needed to be protected. Because he liked her, he did not want to hurt the other party in any case, but he could not do it. He could not erase the shadow that existed in the depths of his memory. Even if he only thought about it occasionally, it would make the other party feel heartbroken.

Chen Fei didn't know how he should comfort Ruoxue. He followed his instinct and male instinct, hugged Ruoxue tightly in his arms, hugged him tightly, and never let go.

"During this period, all kinds of things are mixed, so I'm too cold to you."

...

By the 31st year of Kaihuang, Chen Fei's life had entered its 19th year and was about to enter twenty years, which was the strongest stage of Nian R&F. In just twenty years, he had already experienced four stages of great difference.

The first stage is naturally a stage of being pampered and living in luxury. At this stage, as the prince of the Rakshasa clan, he has inexhaustible wealth, and has received all the favors of his parents and all the praises of his ministers; in the second stage, the struggle of life and death, the Rakshasa Holy City collapsed overnight, and Chen Fei and the evil man and the evil man spent eight years together for life. These eight years were not easy. During this process, Chen Fei had to collect medicine for the medicine man every day, grab medicine, and make money to support his family. He tried his best not to notice the medicine man hidden in his home. The life he lived was worried. In the third stage, the stage of hard work and self-improvement, Shao Baiyu's appearance opened a brand new door for Chen Fei. Chen Fei and Shao Baiyu supported each other and climbed Shu Mountain. There was no need to say that he experienced countless ups and downs during this period. After going up the mountain, he had to face pressure from all aspects and even challenged the many young heroes in Shushan to support him because they could snuggle each other up to warm up. In the fourth stage, he made some achievements and went down the mountain to preach. This stage continued. After Chen Fei went down the mountain, he only walked through the three cities of Ruyang, Jinling and Nantong, but gave him the most different feeling in his life, allowing him to come into contact with various people from all walks of life, met Chu Xie, who had the qualifications comparable to him and Shao Baiyu, and had a love that was unaware of Nalan Ruoxue. In just one year after going down the mountain, Chen Fei could be said to have undergone earth-shaking changes again. There were too many differences in life, especially the entanglement with Nalan Ruoxue. He cherished it very much and tried hard to protect this relationship.

Life is ups and downs, just like the tides, no one knows whether the next moment, what is coming to you is good or bad. What can be done is to seize the time to become stronger, care about your family, and leave no regrets.

Chen Fei was like an enlightened old monk, who had a unique understanding of the feelings, things and things in the world.

His "Tao" was gradually formed in this process.

...

In the deep mountains and forests, a frightened elk ran quickly, dodging left and right, and was surrounded by dangers. He repeatedly encountered dangers and escaped ascend to heaven at the last moment, but finally, when he was about to get rid of the hunter's pursuit, his feet were empty and he fell into a trap arranged in advance, and was pierced by a single thorn. The old hunter walked up calmly and bleed and skinned it, which was easy.

This story shows that hunters with real skillful means can always lure their prey into traps.

After leaving the territory of Nantong City, the journey to the imperial capital became smoother. The army traveled north along the business road, without any obstacles during this period.

Lan'er and Ting'er occasionally reported to Chen Fei about the situation of Linghu Xuanzhou and Miss Qianqian. According to what they said, the two were obedient and did not act abnormally. Chen Fei knew that there must be a torrent under this calmness, but it is unknown when the torrent would explode.

Days have passed day by day, and the road to the imperial capital has been almost halfway. In front of it is Shangqiu, the largest transit city. After passing Shangqiu and going north, you will enter the rolling mountain road. The majestic city Chang'an is located deep in the mountains, with a dangerous terrain and a natural defensive fortress.

Shangqiu is so close that the soldiers finally let go of their hearts. As the third largest city in the empire, second only to the imperial capital Chang'an and the blooming Jinling, it is also an indispensable transit station for trade between the north and the south. Shangqiu has a very special geographical location. Satin, tea, coarse salt and other materials transported from south to north, as well as rice, flour, grain, oil, mink, linen, and wooden furniture transported from north to south, all must be gathered here and transferred to various places.

The prosperity of Shangqiu is different from Jinling. The flow of people entering and leaving the city every day is huge, and compared with them, the permanent population seems to be less.

It is still more than ten miles away from Shangqiu. From a distance, you can see a heroic city entrenched. Its wall is as high as 25 meters and its height ranks second in the empire. There are countless towers in the city, and the caravans are lined up in long queues, which are very lively.

"If Jinling City is the largest consumption cave in the empire, then Shangqiu is the veritable money-making machine of the empire. It is controlled by the military and directly belongs to a city controlled by his father. When traveling to and from business trips, you have to pay tolls, check-in fees, etc., and you create countless profits every year." When you arrive at the territory controlled by the army, Tuoba Lie's confidence has become much stronger, and he proudly introduces the situation in Shangqiu to Chen Fei.

The latter looked over from afar and found that the official road and the business road converged at Shangqiu at the same time, and immediately understood the meaning of its existence. Just as the small post station outside Nantong City was controlled by Wang Lin, Shangqiu is a city-scale post station established by His Majesty Huangdi on the north and south roads today, and caravans passing by must pay tolls here.

What surprised Chen Fei was that cities with military deployment would inevitably have no temples, no trace of monks, such as Nantong hundreds of miles away, and the huge Shangqiu. Does this mean that Tuoba Gui, who claims to be the Emperor of Ming Dynasty for thousands of years, actually only respects Buddhism on the surface and secretly excludes it. Otherwise, why would there be no temples in the places controlled by the army that directly obeyed his orders? He was worried about the infiltration of faith.

When he first arrived in Nantong and then Shangqiu, Chen Fei felt that the relationship between Huangdi and the Buddha Sect was not actually as described in the rumor. There were some places, such as the important town controlled by the army, that His Majesty Huangdi did not allow any force to be involved, and it was completely under his control.

"Since it's not a single piece, there's an opportunity to take advantage of it. Maybe the old emperor is waiting for me to appear." Chen Fei was happy and felt that he had discovered a treasure.

"If I remember correctly, the general responsible for guarding Shangqiu City is the Tuoba clan, the elder brother of the father, and the uncle of the king, Tuoba Jun. We should be able to repair it for two days without worries." He was worried along the way and finally came to a town controlled by the royal family. Tuoba Lie was so happy that he felt proud.

"Tuoba Jun? Isn't Your Majesty the only relative Tuoba Fenghuang?" Chen Fei was puzzled. When Tuoba Lie talked about An Linglong's life experience before, he heard him say that An Linglong's mother Tuoba Fenghuang is the only close relative who survives in the world today. Why did Tuoba Jun come out now, claiming to be His Majesty's younger brother, and a senior official in charge of the army?

But Tuoba Lie smiled and said, "The father was born in a great family, and there were many brothers. Among them, only Tuoba Fenghuang was the brother and sister of the father and the father and the mother. The others were children born from the side house, and their blood relationship was not that close to their father. For example, the left prime minister Tuoba Zichu of the dynasty, and Tuoba Jun, the city guard of Shangqiu City, were all children born from the side house. Although they were highly valued by the father, their blood relationship was not so close."

"The royal affairs are indeed complicated enough." Chen Fei looked at Tuoba Lie meaningfully: "It seems that you have a good relationship with your distant uncle?"

"Uncle Jun is the introducer for Lie'er joining the army."

"So that's it, that makes sense."

Since ancient times, His Majesty Huangdi has three palaces and six courtyards, and has the most beautiful, talented, and best-singing woman in the country. Therefore, he always has many descendants, many relatives, and a network of relationships. Most of the information about the royal family obtained by Chen Fei comes from Tuoba Lie's oral statements, and he cannot understand the truth in it very thoroughly. Therefore, when he heard the name Tuoba Jun, he was confused. It is okay, after all, he has not really entered the imperial capital.

The prosperity of Shangqiu is not inferior to that of Jinling, but behind this prosperity, there are traces of control. When people entering the city, they need to go through a series of checks and pay layers of taxes. The people responsible for the inspection are all emperors. They charge tolls for each person entering the city. The tolls are divided into two parts. One is the entry fee and the other is the residence fee. The entry fee is fixed. The residence fee is paid according to the time you stay in the city. Therefore, you are given a sign with a date written on it. If you exceed the date, you will have to pay the fee. If it is shorter than the date, the extra fee will not be returned. The wooden sign is a must-have item for leaving the city. Without this sign, you cannot leave Shangqiu City.
