Shen Li walked into the military camp, feeling a little bit of resentment because she was ruined, but seeing the familiar faces of the generals around her, she temporarily put all the unhappiness behind her. She returned the salutes one by one. Among them, Shang Bei, who had just returned to the capital, saw her and hurried forward to complain slightly: "Your Majesty left without telling me, making it so difficult for me to find you!"

Shen Li smiled and patted his arm: "It's my fault. You can choose a tavern later. I will host you and let you drink to your heart's content!"

An officer next to him immediately said: "Your Majesty can't be partial to one and not to the other."

"Hey, I heard that, Your Majesty, everyone who sees you has a share!"

"Okay, everyone is invited!" Shen Li saw the training platform and remembered the purpose of coming to the military camp today. He said loudly: "My king is in a good mood today. Let all the soldiers come and practice with me. Those who can beat ten moves can go and drink with the generals!"

It is an honor to fight with the Lord Bicang even if you lose. The barracks became lively for a while. The generals called their elites to fight with Shen Li. Shen Li did not let any soldier go. If she could beat him with one move, she would never let him last for the second move. After an hour, dozens of people came on stage, but none of them lasted more than ten moves. Shen Li's forehead was sweating, but her eyes were getting brighter. At present, this soldier was the only one who had lasted five moves in her hands. She praised him, "He has potential."

After that, she moved her body and went behind the soldier. The soldier reacted quickly and tried to dodge sideways, but Shen Li swept his foot and messed up his lower body. Then she grabbed his shoulder and pressed him on the bluestone training platform. The soldier quickly admitted defeat. Shen Li let him go, pointed out a few of his shortcomings, and let him go.

"Next one to fight!"

Suddenly a breeze passed by. Shen Li turned around, and the man in white clothes and long hair stood quietly on the other side of the training platform, smiling and saying: "Xingzhi invites you to fight."

There was an uproar in the audience, and no one noticed when Xingzhi, the God, came to the military camp, and no one saw how he got on the stage. Shen Li's face turned slightly cold, and she wiped the sweat off her face and stared at Xingzhi: "What does the God mean?"

"Xingzhi has been alone in Tianwaitian for a long time. I haven't seen such a lively scene for a long time, so I want to join in the fun. But the prince is unwilling to compete with me?"

"God, your honor, Shen Li dare not offend..."

After saying that, Xingzhi flashed and landed in front of Shen Li, stretched out his hand and grabbed Shen Li's shoulder to restrain her. This method was actually used by Shen Li when she was fighting with the soldier just now. Shen Li moved aside, her shoulders shook and she used her magic power to bounce off Xingzhi's hand, then turned around and punched Xingzhi in the face, but she was about to hit his cheek, and before Xingzhi could dodge, Shen Li paused, giving Xingzhi the opportunity to grab her wrist with one hand and twist it behind her back, stopping Shen Li's movements again.

"Are you afraid of hurting me, my lord?" Xingzhi said with a smile.

Shen Li was annoyed, and she bent her waist, followed Xingzhi's strength, and did a somersault to get out of trouble. The other hand still grabbed Xingzhi's shoulder in the air, and when her feet landed, she heard a low shout, threw Xingzhi out with her shoulder. But when Xingzhi was thrown out, Shen Li felt that her palm was empty, and he was gone. There was a light sound of footsteps, and Shen Li turned her head fiercely. At the same time, her elbow hit Xingzhi's abdomen without hesitation, but it was like hitting cotton, and all the force was dispersed.

This kind of fight was just like her usual conversation with Xingzhi. Every offensive word was dispersed by him, and she never hit him hard.

Thinking of this, Shen Li felt more aggrieved and impatient, but the more impatient she was, the more she couldn't do anything with Xingzhi.

When Shen Li was angry, she suddenly realized why she had to fight him when this man said he wanted to fight her. He played with her in his palm, so why couldn't she jump out of his palm by herself? Her attack paused, and Xingzhi also stopped. Shen Li realized that except

for the first move that Xingzhi took the initiative to attack, he had been defending all the time, as if he was teasing her. From beginning to end, it was a one-man show she sang. At that time, she was standing face to face with Xingzhi, very close to him, and one hand stopped at Xingzhi's neck, and her wrist was held by Xingzhi. She looked up at Xingzhi and saw Xingzhi smiling at her, "Your Majesty, we have already passed ten moves."

Shen Li exerted force to break free of Xingzhi's hand, stepped back two steps and said, "What exactly does the Divine Lord want to do?" "I heard from the Divine Lord before that I could get some wine if I fought ten moves with you. Xingzhi doesn't like drinking, so I wanted to ask the Divine Lord for something else."

Shen Li's face was cold, but due to the occasion, she still said in a good voice, "Since the Divine Lord has defeated Shen Li today, just tell me what you want."

"I want to ask the Divine Lord three questions." Xingzhi glanced at the generals under the stage, and when he saw Mofang standing on the periphery and Furongon the other side, the corners of his lips raised, "First, I want to ask the Divine Lord, who are you, General Shangbei?"

Shangbei was stunned when he was named, and the soldiers around him looked at him with suspicion.

Shangbei was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, "Why do you ask like this? I have a family!" Shen Li frowned, "Just a colleague."

"Who is this old general to the prince?" Xingzhi pointed at the old general with white beard and asked again. "He is also a colleague."

"Who is General Mofang to the prince?" Shen Li was silent for a moment. She caught a glimpse of Mofang on the periphery from the corner of her eyes, and then saw Furongjun, whose eyes suddenly lit up at the other end.

Xingzhi wanted to completely dismantle her words today! Mofang had expressed his feelings to her before, and since she had clearly rejected him at that time, she should not let him have hope in any occasion. She told Furongprivately just to scare him and make him retreat.

nd now... since she lied to help Mofang today, she naturally couldn't let Mofang have wrong hope because she wanted to make up a lie.

And all the soldiers are here today... "Still just a colleague." She said this lightly, and Xingzhi curled the corners of his lips with satisfaction. The generals below were all scratching their heads for these three inexplicable questions, not knowing what kind of riddle they were playing.

Only Furong smiled with his hands on his hips.

At this moment, even though Shen Li repeatedly told him to turn a blind eye to these things, he still couldn't help but clench his fists slightly.

Lord Xingzhi, you are really great! "Today's competition ends here."

She glanced at Xingzhi coldly, turned around and stepped down, and walked to Mofang first. With a cold face, she told him: "If that Furongbothers you again in the future, beat him.

If he kills me, it's my fault." Mofang was stunned and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness...didn't help me?" Shen Li's face darkened again.

After glaring at him, Mofang fell silent immediately. At that time, the generals around him put aside their previous doubts, surrounded them, and asked Shen Li to treat them to a drink. After Shen Li was dragged away by the generals, Mofang stood there and looked at her back talking to the generals.

The corners of his lips moved unconsciously, and he nodded and said: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness."

Suddenly, a cold wind blew, and Mofang felt a chill on his spine for a moment. Before he could find out where the wind came from, he heard someone shouting, "Mofang." Shen Li in the crowd suddenly turned around and waved at him, "Let's go."

Mofang was stunned and shook his head, saying, "I'll stay in the barracks."

"Carry him away." Shen Li ordered, turning around and continuing to move forward. The two generals carried Mofang, and the group left the barracks in a lively manner. The soldiers stayed to continue their daily exercises. Furongran up to the training platform. Although he didn't dare to act rashly, he still couldn't hide his joy and bowed to Xingzhi, saying, "Thank you, God, for pointing it out!"

"I'm not trying to help you." Xingzhi glanced at Furong, "I just... wanted to tease people." But... the result of the game was obviously the same as he expected, but why didn't he make him happy?

What he wanted to see was not Shen Li who was so indifferent to him...

When Furonglooked up, he saw Xingzhi's face without a smile, and opened his mouth to say, Lord God, you don't look like you are playing with others... But when the words came to his lips, Furongswallowed them wisely and said, "In this case, Furong will take his leave." Then he was about to chase after Shen Li. Unexpectedly, before he took a step, he heard Xingzhi said lightly, "You seem to be too presumptuous here."

Furongjun's skin tightened all over, and he turned his head stiffly to look at Xingzhi, but saw a light smile on his face: "Of course, Xingzhi will not blame the Heavenly Lord's grandson for anything." Furongsecretly breathed a sigh of relief, "I folded a paper crane to send a letter to the heaven yesterday, and everything is left to the Heavenly Lord to decide."

Xingzhi turned and left, leaving Furongalone standing on the training ground, sweating profusely. He seemed to... hear the sound of the Heavenly Lord slamming the table and shouting...

In the evening, Shen Li drank with the generals until late at night before returning.

Mofang sent the tipsy Shen Li back to the palace and said goodbye to him. Shen Li pushed the door open and walked around the screen wall in front of the gate. She saw Xingzhi standing in the front yard in a single layer of clothing, casually draped over a coat. He looked at her steadily with a slightly cold gaze. Their eyes met, and Shen Li said nothing to him. She turned around and went to find Rouya.

"Your Highness is also going to marry someone in heaven. It's not good to come back so late with a man."

Shen Li paused. The light from the lanterns in the courtyard shining on her face made her facial features more three-dimensional, but there was no light in her eyes: "Oh? Not good? Then what do you think, Lord God, do you think this is good?" Shen Li paused and sneered, "Looking at the person you are marrying to entangle your subordinates, is this what Lord God does?" It was rare to hear Shen Li speak to others in such a tone. Xingzhi frowned: "You are drunk."

"But I'm sober." Shen Li's eyes were three parts cold, three parts angry, and there were more unknown emotions. She sneered, "If you want to talk about which is good, Shen Li deceived Furongto believe me today, that's good. I helped my subordinates by dispelling his thoughts, and I didn't want to be embarrassed when Furongmade a big deal in the future. But what did you do today, Xingzhi? Ha! Good!" Shen Li laughed, "Finally forced Shen Li to admit defeat, are you satisfied?

But Xingzhi probably doesn't know that in Shen Li's eyes, your actions are just like a jealous mortal trying to prove something.

What? Is the God King interested in Shen Li?" Xingzhi was silent, and suddenly looked away, smiled sideways, "Your Majesty is drunk, God, where does the emotion come from?"

The ancient gods had no desires or demands, so how could they like people? Shen Li should have known it long ago.

"In that case." Shen Li turned and walked back to her room, leaving only a cold word in the night wind, "No matter who Shen Li protects or what she does in the future, I hope that Lord Xingzhi will not say anything."

"Let Shen Li live."

The cool breeze blew, lifting Xingzhi's hair. He looked up at the gray sky of the Immortal Realm world, and after a long time, he said to himself: "Okay, I'll try my best."
