He regretted not taking good advantage of when Gu Yun was unable to get out of bed to take revenge. Truly — good and honest people always got bullied.

After Gu Yun was tired with laughter, he comforted him just for the sake of it. "Come on, please count your blessings. Someone being there to urge means that your parents are healthy, I do not have anyone to urge me even if I wanted.”

Shen Yi listened with a somewhat lonely look and said, "My father may be afraid that I will die on the battlefield and is anxious to preserve a descendant for Shen family. For so many years, I truly never managed to cease his worry, that is... I know for myself that I am very particular by nature, if I had a wife and children, I'm afraid it would be difficult for my mind to stay focused on the frontier. You're already lonely enough. If I were to leave as well…”

Gu Yun did not laugh, he stopped and looked back at him from two steps away.

Shen Yi: "Recently I can see that you intend to quit after you succeed. When the foreigners have been driven back, the Emperor cannot trouble you anymore. Besides, His Highness Yan Wang, who has been careful and righteous since childhood, towards you, he... I'm sure he can take care of you. I have been drifting for so many years, it's time for me to settle down and start a family.”

"Ji Ping," Gu Yun said, "Is it possible that..."

Shen Yi waited for him to speak.

Gu Yun: "... You are also secretly in love with me?"

Shen Yi tripped over the rocks on the ground.

Gu Yun shook his head and sighed, "Natural beauty is hard to abandon, being too handsome is also a crime."

At last, Shen Yi could not bear it. He roared, "Do you still know shame!"

In an instant, all of General Shen's concern and sorrow turned into a rage. He quarreled with Gu Yun all the way back to the manor. Unexpectedly, they met Yan Wang who had just returned from Wangnan Tower at the gate.

In front of General Shen, Chang Geng greeted him very politely and handed Gu Yun the pack of small yellow croakers. "These just came out of the pot. Last time, yifu said it was delicious, I bought a little along the way."

Shen Yi laughed stiffly.

Gu Yun let out a dry cough.

Chang Geng's gaze and expression - Shen Yi felt that his decision to come to the Marquis' Manor for a meal was very wrong, even his eyes had gone blind. Gu Yun already felt his waist ache as he heard the words ‘yifu’.

His Royal Highness Yan Wang had immediately defeated two generals who were jumping about with his appearance, and with a smile, he led them through the door.
