    It would be great if it could continue like this

    Sitting in front of the house with her cheeks in hand, Zhang Ning silently looked at Chen Su, who was standing in the courtyard for some reason.  (1_1).

    After escaping from Xudu, she originally wanted to take Chen Ran back to Hanzhong, but what she didn't expect was that Zhang Susu had expected it and ordered Zhong Yao, the prefect of Luoyang and Chang'an, to deploy heavy troops to close the Sishui Pass and post a post in front of the pass.  Many arrest notices were issued; later, Xu Wu, the garrison of Xingyang City, and Li Tong, the garrison of Yingchuan City, led an army to blockade the Songshan area, which could almost be said to have completely cut off Zhang Ning and Chen Chang's road to Hanzhong.

    In normal times, with Zhang Ning's strength, she would not have cared about the defenders at all, but it is different now. Firstly, she has Chen Suan beside her, a burden who has lost all her strength. Secondly, she was beaten by Zhang Susu a few days ago.  The extent of the injury cannot really be called a minor injury.

    In desperation, Zhang Ning had no choice but to take Chen Su to Wancheng, Nanyang, the border of Jingzhou, planning to take a detour from Jingzhou to Hanzhong. After all, the route of Bishui Pass, Hangu Pass, Wuguan, and Qingni Pass had already been taken by Luoyang,  Zhong Yao, the governor of Chang'an, blocked her, and she had difficulty contacting Zhang Baiqi for a while, so she asked him to send Bai Bo and Huang Jin to help.

    Therefore, Zhang Ning and Chen Sui temporarily settled in Wancheng. They only wanted to live in Wancheng temporarily for a while. After their injuries healed, they would take Chen Suo back to Hanzhong. After all, the governor of Wancheng was Zhang Xiu.  He was the prefect appointed by Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou. This man was the nephew of Zhang Ji, the former lieutenant general under Dong Zhuo's command. He was capable of both literary and military skills. After the death of his uncle Zhang Ji, he took command of his people. Although Liu Biao secretly helped him during this period, it has to be said.  It is precisely because of Zhang Xiu that Nanyang can be kept safe and sound in the past few years.

    On the other hand, Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, also hoped that Zhang Xiu would become his barrier to the north of Jingzhou.  Although Nanyang is within the territory of Jingzhou, Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao have always been at peace with each other over the years, and have even secretly formed an alliance. Perhaps this is the reason why Cao Cao did not dare to attack Jingzhou or Nanyang, because once he did this  If you do this, you will be in the embarrassing situation of being attacked from both sides.

    Cao Cao did not dare to attack.  Naturally, Zhang Susu did not dare. Although after defeating Yuan Shao, the people's livelihood and economy under her command had been greatly restored and developed, but she owned the Central Plains, Northland, Henan and other regions.  After all, it was a place with frequent wars. Not to mention that the people had been thinking about peace for a long time. Zhang Susu could not easily afford the pension for starting the war.

    The most important point is that after defeating Yuan Shao and even usurping Cao Cao's position.  Zhang Susu has now become the target of public criticism. Although Jiangdong and Jingzhou are still in the flames of war over the years, however.  Once Zhang Susu deployed heavy troops on the border, Liu Biao and Sun Ce immediately stopped fighting and negotiated peace.  It can't be said that the two of them turned their previous hostilities into friendship, it can only be said.  Zhang Susu's current power is so huge that Jingzhou and Jiangdong have no choice but to negotiate peace in order to protect themselves.

    Therefore, from Zhang Ning's point of view, even if she took away Chen Su, which made Zhang Susu extremely angry, she would probably not attack Wancheng and Jingzhou at this time. First, after losing Tang Xiner as an internal support, Zhang Susu would not dare to  Guarantee whether Chen Su can be found. Secondly, Zhang Susu has no confidence in starting a war with the three fronts of Nanyang, Jingzhou and Jiangdong. After all, uniting the weak and defeating the strong has been the only strategy of military strategists since ancient times. Watching Zhang Susu's power grow day by day, even if  The Sun clan in Jiangdong will probably put aside their hatred against Jingzhou temporarily and turn to deal with Zhang Susu.

    Therefore, in view of the above reasons, Zhang Ning was not in a hurry and rested peacefully in Nanyang. After all, that day, Zhang Susu's angry slap was not light, and it was Zhang Ning, otherwise, even if it was Wan  Human enemies will probably die in Zhang Susu's hands.

    But having said that, if Zhang Susu hadn't been so tight, Zhang Ning actually didn't really want to take Chen Ran back to Hanzhong, at least not at this moment, because once she returned to Hanzhong, she was bound to suffer the death of her adoptive father Zhang Lu.  Ye's muttering and wordiness are also true. After all, she is now twenty-four years old. In this era, which woman in this grade has not yet gotten married and given birth to a child?

    No, not one!

    After thinking about it, there are only two sisters, Zhang Ning and Zhang Susu, in the whole world.

    "Ah, even if I want to return to Hanzhong, I have to wait until my relationship with him is settled. At that time, the rice is cooked and the rice is cooked. Even if my adoptive father is dissatisfied, there is probably nothing I can do

    Thinking of this, a faint blush appeared on Zhang Ning's cheeks. After all, this idea is indeed a bit deviant in the eyes of the world.  (1_1)

    ¡°Now, it depends on when the fool in front of me brings it up

    Biting his lips slightly, Zhang Ning glanced at Chen Ran with a bit of shyness, only to see him standing in the courtyard with a blank look on his face, looking left and right, sometimes drawing random things with his hands, and he didn't know what he was doing.  , Zhang Ning couldn't help but be a little confused, and said, "Brother Su, what are you doing?"

      As soon as she finished speaking, there was no reaction from Chen Sui, but Zhang Ning's face turned red. Although this was not the first time she called Chen Sui like this during the days when she fled from Xudu to Nanyang, but because of the woman's  Her reserve and such an intimate address really made her extremely shy.

    In fact, she had thought of other names earlier, but unfortunately none of them satisfied her.

    First of all, the husband cannot be used, after all, they are not married yet; secondly, Brother Chen, this kind of title is like calling a stranger, Zhang Ning immediately objected; furthermore, Brother Chen?  That was what the military generals under Chen Sui such as Zhang Liao, Liu Pi, Gong Du and others called Chen Sui;

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????  That was Zhang Susu's special title. Zhang Ning never thought of calling Chen Su by the same title as that sister.

    Therefore, after much deliberation, Zhang Ning could only call Chen Su that way, which could show his closeness without being disrespectful. As for what the common people call him like "man" or "man", he would have to think about his noble birth, upbringing and even  Zhang Ning, who was so strict, obviously couldn't scream.

    But having said that, Chen Su can actually bear it. After all, Zhang Ning and Zhang Susu are sisters who were born at the same time. Zhang Susu is six months younger than Chen Su. Of course, Zhang Ning is also six months younger than Chen Su. Therefore, they are called Su Su.  Brother, it¡¯s not aggrieved at all.

    "Ah, no" As if he heard Zhang Ning's question, Chen Su, who was standing in the courtyard not knowing what he was doing, shook his head slightly.  Then, he stared at his hands for a long time, and suddenly said in a strange tone, "Ning'er. I always feel as if I have lived in a house like this for a long time"

    Hearing Ning'er's call, Zhang Ning felt her face heat up and her heart pounding. But when she heard the whole story, she was shocked.

    "It seems, it seems that somewhere, I have lived in a house like this with youI was practicing martial arts in the courtyard, and you were doing embroidery in the house. Haha"

    Zhang Ning opened his mouth slightly, and there was a hint of sadness in his eyes. After being silent for a while, he reluctantly showed a smile.  Said, "I suddenly my brother made a mistake. I don't know how to do embroidery or needlework"

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? grew up in the prefecture of Hanning since childhood.  Zhang Ning, who was deeply loved by his father Zhang Lu, could be said to have hundreds of fans. Most things were done by servants and maids in the palace, so why did he need to learn embroidery or female needlework?

    "Huh?" Chen suddenly turned his head and looked at Zhang Ning in astonishment.  He seemed very surprised, and then seemed to think of something.  He scratched his head and said with a smile.  "I don't know any martial arts Maybe it's because I've been dreaming these past few days and confused it with what happened in the dream?"

    "What dream?" Zhang Ning's heart tightened.

    "I always dream of a very gentle woman, sewing things under the candlelight, but I don't know if the light in the room in the dream is too dark to see what she looks like" As he was talking, Chen suddenly  Suddenly he seemed to realize something, and he quickly changed his words and said, "No, I don't mean anything by saying that. Don't be angry"

    "I won't be angry" Zhang Ning shook his head slightly, but secretly sighed in his heart.

    She was certain that the gentle woman Chen Ran dreamed about must be his gentle and virtuous wife Tang Ji. Although Zhang Susu used magic to erase Chen Ran's memory, human memory is really so fragile.  Can it be erased easily?

    Thinking of this, Zhang Ning asked timidly, "Do youremember her? I meanthe woman you dreamed of"

    "I can't even remember the face" Halfway through, Chen suddenly realized that he had misunderstood. He thought Zhang Ning was jealous, so he said awkwardly, "It's just a dream, a dream"

    Looking at him sweating profusely, Zhang Ning smiled slightly, stood up, and said softly, "It's getting late, let's eat first. Didn't you say you were going to the market after dinner?"

    "Oh, right!" After Zhang Ning reminded him, Chen suddenly remembered and walked into the house with her.

    In fact, Zhang Ning had already prepared the meal before. When he came out to call Chen Su, he saw him standing blankly in the courtyard. Maybe he didn't want to disturb him, so he waited in front of the house. But now, when he saw Chen Su said  What happened in his dream, even if Zhang Ning tried his best to convince himself, was still a little uncomfortable after all.

    If it was really a dream, maybe Zhang Ning wouldn't care, but was it really a dream?

    Obviously not!

    "Well?"

    "What's wrong?" Zhang Ning couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he saw Chen suddenly eating a chopstick and showing an expression of astonishment.

    But Chen suddenly showed a somewhat teasing expression and said teasingly, "Ning'er's craftsmanship is so bad"

    Suddenly, Zhang Ning's expression changed. After looking at Chen Su, he silently lowered his head and said reluctantly, "Yes, yes"

    In fact, this is the first time she has personally cooked for Chen Chang.

    ? ???As for this meal, she spent a lot of energy

    Seeing Zhang Ning's sad face, Chen suddenly thought she was angry and apologized quickly. However, he could not guess the pain in Zhang Ning's heart at this moment.

    To be honest, all the past memories in Chen Ran's mind were erased by Zhang Susu. However, as a human memory, how can it be erased so easily? Even if Chen Ran can no longer remember his beloved Tang Xiner,  But his body and his instincts still retained that warmth, and this was precisely what caused Zhang Ning the most pain.

    She knew that with her current strength, she was no longer Zhang Susu's opponent. Therefore, it would be difficult for her to rescue Tang Xiner from Zhang Susu. To the point of taking a step back, even if she could do it, could she still do it?

    If it had been a few days ago, she might have been able to let go of her feelings for Chen Chang and never see him again, as she said in her oath. However, during the period of fleeing from Xuchang to Nanyang, the two of them fell in love with each other.  After being alone for a full month, how could she let go of the feelings in her heart now?

    Now that things have happened, she finally understands the reason why Zhang Susu wants to keep Chen Ran by her side at all costs.

    Feelings are ultimately selfish.  Who is willing to give up his beloved to someone else?

    During this month, Zhang Ning gradually learned to be selfish. She no longer thought about anything about Tang Xiner because she didn't dare to think about it.  Once she thinks about that woman, it makes her extremely painful.

    ¡°In the final analysis, she finally snatched Chen Suang from Zhang Susu¡¯s hands, and even sacrificed Tang Xiner, the gentle woman who was very polite and respectful to her at the beginning

    "Ning'er? What's wrong with you?" Seeing Zhang Ning eating rice silently with a sad look on his face, Chen suddenly couldn't help but feel a little flustered.  He quickly changed his words and said, "I I was just joking with you. In fact, the vegetable rice is very delicious, quite delicious Look. This is very good" As he said that, he put a chopstick of the dish into Zhang Ning's bowl.  .

    As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Ning suddenly put down the bowl and chopsticks, covered his mouth with his hands and couldn't help crying.

    Chen suddenly panicked and quickly put down the bowl and chopsticks.  He stood up and gently pulled Zhang Ning's arm, hugged her in his arms, and spoke to comfort her.

    However, unexpectedly, Zhang Ning cried even harder.  This made Chen Ran feel a little confused.

    "Ning'er Ning'er"

    Perhaps hearing Chen Su¡¯s call, Zhang Ning raised his head slightly.  Her face was full of tears, like pear blossoms with rain.  The beauty is enough to take one's breath away.

    "It's all my fault, please stop crying" Seeing Zhang Ning crying so sadly, Chen Ran felt uncomfortable in his heart, but how could he have imagined the real pain in Zhang Ning's heart.

    "I don't blame you I don't blame you" Looking at the unbearable look in Chen Ran's eyes, Zhang Ning felt warm in his heart, shook his head slightly, then raised his plain white hand, gently touched his face, and murmured  Said, "I'm just afraid afraid that you will leave me one day"

    No wonder she cares so much. After all, these days, although Chen Suan no longer has any memory of Tang Xiner, the warmth he had with Tang Xiner seems to be buried deep in his heart. Perhaps, even with magic,  It is also impossible to completely erase a person's memory.

    And this is exactly what Zhang Ning is most worried about.

    In the first few days, she hoped that Chen Ye could recover his original memories, but as her relationship with Chen Ye became closer and closer, she became more and more frightened, afraid that he would really regain his memory, because she knew that,  Once Chen Ran regains his memory, the so-called agreement between him and her will no longer count

    On the one hand, there is guilt for Tang Xiner, and on the other hand, there is guilt and admiration for Chen Su, which made Zhang Ning suffer a lot these days.

    "How could it be?" Listening to the slight trembling in Zhang Ning's words, Chen suddenly shook his head and said, "Didn't we already agree? - You said you wanted to marry me, so you can't go back on your word"

    "Marry" Zhang Ning's face turned red when he suddenly heard this, and the uneasiness he had just felt completely disappeared. In fact, he couldn't help but have beautiful expectations in his heart.

    Maybe, maybe after getting married, he will no longer dream about those past events

    Zhang Ning comforted herself secretly. Now that things have happened, even she who has always abided by etiquette may not care much anymore. After all, who would push the person she loves to others?

    If the wedding of Tang Xiner and Chen Ye was simple at the time, then the wedding of Zhang Ning and Chen Ye is even simpler now. In fact, it is no wonder. After all, the two of them do not have many relatives and friends in Nanyang, and even  There was no need for an old man to witness the wedding. The two of them bowed to heaven and earth in front of the red candle, and the matter was considered a success.

    It¡¯s hardIt seems that the marriage of Zhang Susu, the daughter of the dignified prefect Hanning and the elder sister of Zhang Susu, who is in charge of the seven states, was arranged so hastily. Even Chen Suan felt a little sorry for Zhang Ning. Fortunately, Zhang Ning did not  Don't care about all this.

    ¡°That¡¯s right, considering her background, what hasn¡¯t she seen before?

    The so-called ostentation in the world was nothing more than clouds in her eyes. It had to be said that Chen Ran was lucky enough in this regard. The two confidantees she met one after another, Tang Xiner and Zhang Ning, were both women of noble birth.  I don't care much about this aspect, otherwise, with Chen Su's current ability, it would really take some effort to marry Zhang Ning, the daughter of Zhang Lu, the prefect of Hanning.

    But even if it was just the simplest marriage, Zhang Ning's heart was pounding because she knew that after paying homage to Chen Suan, she would no longer be the daughter of the Zhang family, but the wife of his Chen family.

    Perhaps it was out of fear of the unknown, or perhaps out of shyness, that when Chen suddenly helped Zhang Ning into the bedroom, Zhang Ning did not dare to raise his head for half an hour.

    Although Chen Su could be considered a veteran, his past memories were erased by Zhang Susu. Therefore, neither of them dared to speak first, so that the whole room suddenly became quiet, and you could hear a needle drop.

    The sky outside was getting darker and darker, and after a while, it was pitch black outside the window. Just when Chen Chang didn't know what to do, suddenly, Zhang Ning stood up, looked at Chen Chang shyly, and walked away.  When he reached the candlelight, he blew out the candles on the table with a whistle. Suddenly, the whole room was shrouded in darkness.

    "Husbandhusband" In the darkness, Zhang Ning's voice filled with endless shyness came. The slightly vague and embarrassing voice made Chen Su, who had been sitting there for more than half an hour, unable to help himself.  My whole body trembled, and I wanted to say something to ease the embarrassment, but in the end I just responded.

    "It'sit's getting late"

    "Uh, yesyeah"

    "II am serving my husbandrestrest"

    It has to be said that Zhang Ning's face was so red that she could drip with shame. Fortunately, she also blew out the candles. Otherwise, with her reserve, she would never be able to say such words.

    However, that being said, in the final analysis, Zhang Ning is an untouched daughter. Even in the dark, she only helped Chen Ran take off her coat. As for the underwear inside, she did not dare

    Chen suddenly didn't dare to move. Hearing the faint movement beside him and the rustling sounds of undressing, his heart was in his throat.

    In a hazy moment, he seemed to see a body like mutton fat getting into the bed on the couch in panic

    It has to be said that even Chen Suan before he lost his amnesia probably couldn't withstand such temptation, let alone now. For a moment, Chen Suan only felt the blood in his chest rising, so he took off his clothes and got into bed.

    **** nothing to say all night.

    When Zhang Ning opened his eyes again, it was already bright.

    Seeing that she was naked and being held in the arms of the man next to her no, her husband, Zhang Ning felt ashamed and happy at the same time. She stared at her sleeping husband next to her and scratched her cheeks with the tips of her hair mischievously.  on her husband's face.

    Seeing him looking uncomfortable and scratching his face, Zhang Ning chuckled.

    Suddenly, Zhang Ning's complexion changed drastically, as if he had been hit by some huge blow. His face turned pale and lost all color.

    "Xin'er, don't make trouble"
