Chapter 211
"Perhaps, your trust in Shuhe is not as high as that of your master." Yue Xiao smiled slightly, and couldn't help touching his shoulder, "You should know that the master will not let those things happen, just like I said just now, master Giving Shuhe great honor and favor is definitely not for the purpose of ruining him in the future."

"I understand." Shu Tong sighed lowly, "It's just that I can't stop worrying, the Prince of Nanyue and the Great General of Zhennan... Such a favor, placed on anyone, will make people feel elated."

Yue Xiao looked softly at the thoughtful man in front of him, a slight pity flashed in his eyes, and after a moment, he said lightly: "Tong, it is not difficult to trust my brother... Besides, even if there is something in the future, you There is no power to stop it, neither you nor I have the right to interfere with the master's decision."

Shu Tong's face changed when he heard the words, his eyebrows drooped slightly, he didn't know what he thought of, the thoughts in his eyes changed several times, and finally he said in a low voice: "It's... the master's decision, who has the right to interfere?"

That's all - life or death, honor or... It's not up to them to decide -

His and Shu He's lives were originally saved by the master, if one day they could die in the hands of the master, it would be nothing...

However, now that Shuhe is in the limelight, Shu Tong is thinking, taking this opportunity, it might be better to ask the master to promise him a marriage...

"Tong, what are you thinking?"

Yue Xiao's gentle voice rang in his ears, Shu Tong raised his eyes slightly, "I was thinking..."

"Ok?"

Shu Tong hesitated for a moment, but did not hide anything, "...I was thinking, when I have a chance to meet Master, can I ask Master to promise Shu He a marriage?" Shu Tong raised his eyebrows again as he spoke. , "Maybe I'm greedy - if there is something in the future, even if I don't feel unwilling, I always think that it will be better to let Shuhe stay behind."

Yue Xiao was startled, his eyes complicated, and he was speechless for a while.

Turning around and pacing slowly in the study room, wearing a thin crescent-colored shirt that swayed regularly with the movement of her steps, Shu Tong's eyes couldn't help falling on that small corner.

"You...don't trust the master so much?"

"Of course not." Shu Tong smiled wryly, "Master's love for Shu He is obviously beyond ordinary, how could I not know? I'm just... just worried about Shu He."

"Since you don't doubt the master, then there's nothing wrong with it." Yue Xiao smiled lightly, with a warm and pleasant expression, always like the warm sun in spring, "The fact that the master can give Shuhe favor is the absolute trust in him... On the contrary Let’s talk about it, don’t say that you just made him the prince and general of Nanyue, or let him be the emperor of Nanyue directly, with Shuhe’s sincere respect for his master, how dare he have any other thoughts?”

Hearing this, Shu Tong fell silent for a moment. After a long while, he seemed to understand something. His mind gradually relaxed, and he said lightly: "It seems that my trust in Shu He is not only inferior to the master, even you are also inferior to me." Up."

Yue Xiao smiled lightly, "If you care about it, you will be in chaos."

Shu Tong slightly raised his lips, but did not speak again, maybe it was a tacit consent... maybe.

After a while, he said calmly: "The master is in the imperial capital, is it okay?"

Yue Xiao nodded and said with a smile: "You should know that the master is the same no matter where he is."

——The same powerful and noble, the same unfathomable, the same, controlling the fate of everyone between talking and laughing...

Shu Tong nodded. He has no doubts about this... Master's ability, not to mention a mere imperial capital, is the vast world of nine kingdoms, who can do anything about it?

I haven't seen each other for more than two months, it seems... I miss it a little...Shu Tong quietly closed his eyes, thinking about Shuhe, and always respected his master like a god...Although fame and fortune are not like dung, wealth is fleeting, but a little fame and fortune Honor, how could he let him tarnish the sacred existence in his heart?

Perhaps, he is really like what Yue Xiao said... caring makes chaos.

"Shu Tong, what about you?" Yue Xiao stood still, opened his mouth suddenly, turned his head slightly, his warm eyes fixed on the expressionless Shu Tong, Shu Tong was startled, before he could react, Yue Xiao again Repeated, "What about you? Do you also have the idea of ​​​​marrying a wife?"

"How is it possible—" Shu Tong's face changed slightly again, and he was about to refute subconsciously.

Yue Xiao smiled slightly, her deep pity was perfectly hidden in her eyes, "Why is it impossible?"

Shu Tong's steady expression cracked a little imperceptibly, and his face turned slightly pale. After a long while, he finally spoke out with difficulty——

"Xiao... It's not like you don't know... I—"

——I am already so filthy, how can I, how can I marry a wife——how can I spoil an innocent and beautiful woman?

Yue Xiao's heart suddenly throbbed with pain, and felt that it was difficult to breathe for a moment. After a while, he sighed softly, and said in a low voice: "I thought... I always thought that Shu Tong had already looked away from those things. I don't care anymore...but it turned out—"

It turns out that pain and humiliation have always existed...it's just been well hidden...

"Shu Tong is not as persevering as he appears on the surface." His voice suddenly became a little indifferent, Shu Tong looked away from the crescent moon, and stood up, "I am thinking too much about Shuhe, and I am a little pensive." I can't hold my breath anymore - after all, he is my only relative... Forget it, you still have business to deal with, so I'll go back first."

"Shu Tong." When he turned to leave, Yue Xiao called shallowly, and Shu Tong's footsteps stopped, and he couldn't take another step.

But he didn't look back... As if realizing what he was about to hear, he felt a slight tremor in his heart, a little uneasy, and he had never felt so out of control.

Even in those humiliating years, he never... even though he was afraid, he never lost control like this.

Yue Xiao didn't say anything special or make him feel embarrassed——

"You are Shuhe's elder brother. You can make decisions about his marriage. You don't have to report it to the master..." Yue Xiao said this, with a gentle voice, but his eyebrows and eyes were always slightly lowered, hiding his expression, "...just, Xiao I feel that Shuhe is still young after all, you don't need to worry about his marriage..."

"……I know."

"It's been a long time since I saw you. I just came back from the imperial capital...Tong, how about staying for a meal before leaving? I think, no matter how busy the Snowy Valley is, it won't be too late."

Shuhe is my only relative... Yue Xiao thought of what he said just now, his thoughts were a little dazed, and he looked down at the square inch under his feet... Then, then, what is Yue Xiao in your heart?

Shu Tong still hasn't answered, and during the silence, Mei Yun came slowly with the high-quality brewed tea, and blessed himself in front of Shu Tong, "Mr. Shu."

Shu Tong glanced at her, nodded lightly, but said to Yue Xiao:
"No, I'll go back to the valley and eat with my soldiers."

After all, he walked away.

Yue Xiao looked at the back of him leaving, complicated and incomprehensible emotions flashed in the bottom of her warm eyes, and a slight sigh escaped from the corner of her mouth...
