"you saw it?"

Shen Yan almost smiled with all his strength, although there were many bloodstains on his body, it was no match for the pain caused by Xiao Suo's words.

He has loved many people in his life, and the flowers he fell in love with at a glance are countless, but he left them behind after only half a cup of tea.Only Xiao Suo, only Xiao Suo, really is his doom.

But he is so obsessed, but others don't want him.

Instead of retreating, he took a step forward, leaning on the railing with both hands, and looked deeply into his eyes: "Maybe it's retribution, I owe too many romantic debts, God sent you to punish me."

As Shen Yan spoke, the circles of his eyes suddenly dizzy with blood: "But even if it's retribution, now I'm the one with my neck under the knife. After today, there will be no tomorrow, and this debt should be paid off. Why did you come here to add insult to injury? You dirty yourself for nothing."

"How could you not come?" Xiao Suo said expressionlessly, "Really relieve your hatred."

Hearing this, Shen Yan stared down at the shackles on his wrist for half a day, and slowly stretched out his hand from the gap to hold his: "Have you ever been in pain like this?" It was like a wound soaked in salt water, densely swollen pain.

"I was handcuffed for only one day," Xiao Suo withdrew his hand, "There is no injury on my wrist."

"I know..." Shen Yan murmured feebly, "You hurt your ten fingers. The ten fingers connect to the heart, and it should hurt the most."

The wind came in through the air hole, shaking the flames, and shining on the faces of the two, half of them were shadows, and half were blurred.

Xiao Suo hooked the corners of his lips, and said with a sarcasm: "The general has fought hundreds of times on the battlefield, with countless injuries, big and small, so what's the point of scratching the skin on his wrist? It's just that if it doesn't hurt in the heart, it doesn't hurt. It can be seen that if you don't cut the skin, so what Do you know it hurts? You have experienced the feeling I had back then."

Shen Yan rubbed his cheek with the back of his fingers, and the shackles collided with each other, making a "clinking" sound.

His expression was so gentle, just like in the past when the two were in love, but there was a wry smile on his lips: "I dare not boast about anything else, but for you, I have never let myself down. No matter how much you hate me, you can't Deny it, I always treat you differently."

"Look at me differently?" Xiao Suo laughed, "Travel me, seduce me, let me die for you, but when the disaster strikes, you only care about protecting yourself and easily abandon me-this is your different look? What you gave me is just You don't have much to throw away. You don't lack money and status, so you don't feel bad if you give it to me. What really matters, why did you ever give it to me?"

Shen Yan looked at him in disbelief, retreated step by step, sank step by step, and finally burst out laughing.He laughed so hard that tears welled up in his eyes, dripping on his lips, bitter like tea.

I will keep you by my side, keep you safe and secure, help you chase your dreams, and accompany you through hardships and dangers.I've never been close to a person like Ruan Tong who came to my door, I'm afraid you are overwhelmed.I will carefully remember what you like, and I will not be contaminated by what you hate.Because of you, my friend was offended, the emperor was offended, my future was abandoned, and my dignity was trampled on.

In the end, I never gave it to you?

Shen Yan was about to blurt out the words of grievance and unwillingness in his heart, his eyes passed over his pale face, and for a moment it was like a stick in his throat, his chest heaved for a moment, he couldn't speak anymore, and finally sighed.

"I owe you, and I will pay it back." Xiao Suo paused, walked into the cell, put the food box on the table, and brought out the plates one by one. "This matter is difficult. I have little strength, so I probably can't help you much. But I will try my best. It's best if I can save you. If I can't, it will be considered as repaying the kindness you saved me that day. At that time, You and I owe nothing."

"We owe each other?" Shen Yan smiled, didn't move his chopsticks, and just took the wine to drink, "Why have you ever owed me? It's all my wishful thinking. I'm a cheap man, so why don't you rush to collect interest? ?”

Xiao Suo was unmoved, sat opposite him, and said indifferently: "Whether you accept it or not is your business, and it's still my business. No matter what you say, you were the one who took me in in Zhuoyang and helped me to apply for it. I was wronged. I was imprisoned later... After all, it was you who designed to rescue me. I don’t want to owe you anything, I will tell you today, and I will definitely pay you back.”

"Didn't you come to see my end?" Shen Yan smiled indifferently.

"I've seen it." Xiao Suo clutched a corner of his sleeve, lowered his head and didn't look at him, "I'm out of anger, I haven't repaid my favor yet."

Shen Yan put down the empty jug, took two mouthfuls of rice with the bowl, and said vaguely: "There's no need to report it, I don't accept this kind of favor. I said it earlier, when I was in charge of your business, I used you, so what kind of grace!"

He thought about it and asked again: "By the way, you said just now that I just wanted to protect myself and leave you alone. What do you mean? I told you that it was all a show for outsiders to watch. Why do you still worry about it? I admit what I have done, and I can’t suffer wronged in vain if I didn’t do it.”

Xiao Suo sighed: "It's the past, why bother to ask again."

"I want to know." Shen Yan raised his head and said, "I've been hated by you, why don't you allow me to figure it out?"

Xiao Suo met his gaze, stalemate with him for a moment, but was still defeated: "At the beginning, the emperor wanted to kill me, firstly because of you, secondly because I knew too much about the inside story of the Zhuoyang case. You have already guessed this, even People from the Ministry of Punishment came to take me to jail, and you also received the news. But you don’t want to worry about it, do you? You didn’t come back to save me, you just left, abandoned me, and left me to fend for myself.”

At the beginning, he believed so firmly that he would come to save him, but he still didn't come in the end.

"I didn't!" Shen Yan didn't know that there was still such a misunderstanding in it. Looking back on his various abnormal behaviors when he reconciled with him, he suddenly felt like red mud and snow, and his veins were exposed with anxiety. He hurriedly explained: "You How could you think this way? I really didn’t! At the beginning, I... I only found out that you were sent to prison when I received a letter from Shen San’er. When was that, and the battle was almost over. I received the letter, Bearing the crime of delaying the military and leaving without authorization, I came back after traveling day and night. Conscience of heaven and earth, how have I ever let you go!"

Xiao Suo was also taken aback. That being said, Yan Jun came to visit him in prison that day, and said that Shen Yan had already known about his imprisonment, so he asked him to come to advise him, let him be more acquainted, and leave earlier so that he would not lose face. All this is a lie?

"That's my misunderstanding." Now he has understood Yan Jun's painstaking efforts, if he could understand it early, why would he need others to lie to him to leave.

Shen Yan grabbed his arm, his eyes filled with hope: "It's your misunderstanding, not my fault. Now that you know, can you...I mean, can you come back?"

Xiao Suo frowned and smiled: "General, what are you thinking? You and I will never be able to. I left you not because of hatred, but because I don't love you and don't need you, do you understand?"

It was clearly summer, but Shen Yan was as cold as falling into the ice and snow.

He let go of his hands one by one, pushed away the bowls and chopsticks, turned his face and said: "Go away, don't come here again. You don't have to repay the favor, I won't accept it."

Xiao Suo was silent, packed his things, got up and left.

Fang turned the corner, only to hear Shen Yan's voice from behind: "Do you know? Hate is love!"

Xiao Suo's breath was stagnant, he hurriedly supported the wall, concentrated for a moment, and ran out staggeringly.Babao was waiting for him by the big tree on the street, and from a distance he saw his young master walking towards this side precariously under the lantern.

"My lord!" He hurried forward to help, "What's wrong with you, do you have another headache?"

"No, I'm fine." Leaning on the sedan chair, Xiao Suo rolled down two lines of tears in the darkness, "I just... that's all, let's go back."

Shen Yan still has someone to confide in, but who can he talk to about his worries?

He walked forward, and Ruan Tong went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice on the back, followed by Eleven.Most of them knew that Zhang Yunjian was not here today, so they took advantage of this time to visit the prison.

Shen Yan was ecstatic in the corner when he heard someone calling, and turned around to see Ruan Tong standing there with tears in his eyes, "Why are you here too? It's really lively today."

Eleven said with a bitter face: "Master, don't worry, this subordinate will definitely rescue you!" Then he said harshly: "Zhang Yunjian is a bastard, I will finish him sooner or later, let's see how he does evil again!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Ruan Tong scoffed at him, looked around, and whispered: "This is the Ministry of Punishment, people can hear it, the unlucky one is the general."

Shen Yan got up, patted Ruan Tong on the shoulder, and said, "Thank you, you still have love and righteousness, and you want to see me. It's just that I'm down now, and it's no good for you to follow me. Why don't you take advantage of my energy at this moment and replace me?" You find a good place to go, and you go."

"I won't leave!" Ruan Tong said with tears in his eyes, "Don't drive me away, General, I won't leave no matter what. I haven't repaid you for saving me, I'm sorry!"

"One or two, you have to repay my favor." Shen Yan twitched the corners of his mouth, "It's like this when I'm down!"

Ruan Tong wiped away his tears, and comforted him, "Don't talk about frustration, general, you'd better find a way to get out!"

"Exactly!" Eleven said, "Although the emperor detained the Lord, he did not deal with it in the end. Thief Zhang...Even if Shangshu has a good hand and eye, he still has to act according to the emperor's face. His subordinates have already inquired. I heard that the envoy of Nan'an arrested Making a fuss about the death of the princess and forcing the emperor to waive half of the annual tribute, they took advantage of it!"

Shen Yan looked at Ruan Tong, nodded and said: "Probably they have already thought this way, otherwise why would they not leave after seeing off their relatives? It's just that the princess is indeed dead, and we ignore it. I'm afraid this case will not be overturned. You today It doesn’t matter if you’re here, I have something to say. You go back and tell Zong Xi that you will sell the valuables at home and mortgage the farm house. The money you get will be divided into three shares, one for you to share, and one for you to keep. In the future, I will leave it to Xi Sheng as a dowry, and the rest will be given to Xiao Suo. As for me, I’m afraid I won’t be able to survive. After I die, you don’t have to go to the funeral, just take me to the Transformation Center and find a secluded place to raise my hand. It's over." The words made Ruan Tong shed tears again.

The Eleventh Congress was dissatisfied: "What kind of frustrating words are you talking about! Now that the case is still pending, what kind of property will be divided? The emperor favors you, and he will not be willing to kill you! Besides, Xiao Suo, that ungrateful person, why should he leave money for him? It’s better to buy food and feed it to the dogs!”

Shen Yan thumped him, and said in a deep voice: "You won't be allowed to scold him again in the future! It's all right now, we don't want to separate ourselves. Are we going to wait for others to rob us when we ransack our house? I'm afraid that by then, we won't be able to divide." It's time!"

Ruan Tong choked up and said: "General, don't say such things. In my opinion, there is still room for this matter, and it is not the case. Let's check the pair of candles, and we will definitely be able to get rid of the crime!"

"No!" Shen Yanjian said.
