It is said that Mu Yunhe was going to lead troops to fight, and it was said that it was recommended by the fifth prince and another veteran. The southern barbarian border was in turmoil, and the garrison army retreated steadily, losing an important city.
However, the court is still precarious now, and it is too risky to mobilize the defense of several counties near the capital, so they turned their ideas on the Mu family army.
This army is now under the orders of Princess Mu, who has not yet handed it over to Mu Yunhe.
Originally Princess Mu wanted Emperor Bingming to take command, but was stopped by Mu Yunhe, no matter how bad he was, there was no reason for her to take the lead.
"In the past, my son was a jerk and wasted. This is indeed a good opportunity to make a contribution. Now that I have a family, I should rely on myself to make achievements, and should no longer rely on my father's shadow to live."
His statement made Princess Mu very pleased.
But there was only one thing that made Mu Yunhe feel disappointed. Bai Fanlu didn't have any objection to him accepting the expedition order, but only lightly expressed that he knew about it, and never showed any reluctance.
Aren't you worried about my life or death? I wanted to ask this question, but felt hypocritical, and Mu Yunhe felt resentful, so he plunged headlong into the matter of the expedition.
Sensing that he was emotional, Bai Fanlu didn't explain it. What he wants now is this effect.
It's just that no matter how to get rid of emotional matters, life and death must also be concerned.
But in fact, he has already learned carefully from Princess Mu that although the battle on the Nanman side is tight, the Mu family army is invincible.
Although Mu Yunhe has no experience in leading troops, he still has a former confidant of General Mu as his assistant general. This battle will not be too difficult, and it can end in half a year at most.
Bai Fanlu counted for half a year, and he still couldn't reach the life and death calamity, and he wanted to keep a distance from Muyunhe, so this was just a godsend opportunity.
From the moment he decided to go on an expedition, Mu Yunhe didn't see anyone, and he would go back to his residence at night, and stay in the Mu's army barracks for the next few days, and plan his marching strategy with the generals in advance.
Bai Fanlu didn't care about this, and when Mu Yunhe returned to the palace one day before he finally set out for the expedition, Princess Mu specially arranged a practice banquet for him.
During the dinner, Mu Yunhe drank a lot of wine, Princess Mu asked someone to help him go back to rest, but he clamored for Bai Fanlu to help him.
In front of Concubine Mu and all the servants, Bai Fanlu couldn't bear to treat him coldly, so he supported him by himself, and the two of them slanted into Xianxue Garden.
It wasn't the first time to serve this drunk man, Bai Fanlu cleaned him up skillfully, when there was a knock on the door outside, it was Liu Xin who brought hangover soup.
Bai Fan walked into the house and asked Liu Xin to go back and rest.
Helping the drunk man up and holding the hangover soup, Bai Fanlu asked, "Can I still drink it by myself?"
"No, you feed me!"
He started playing drunk again, Bai Fanlu sighed silently, and handed the mouth of the bowl to Muyunhe's mouth. He had just taken a sip of the clinker when he suddenly straightened up, hugged Bai Fanlu, and pressed his lips against it.
The bowl fell by the bed, and the hangover soup spilled all over the floor.
Bai Fanlu was forced to swallow a mouthful of hangover soup that the man had brought over, coughing repeatedly, and he was not drunk, why did he drink the hangover soup
"Lin Qiu, you... you're really bad, terrific!"
Muyunhe stalked him like an octopus, and smacked his face with his mouth as if he couldn't find the target. The smell of alcohol made Bai Fanlu disgusted to death, and while hiding from him, he said, "I'll give it to you again." Get me a bowl of soup."
You need to sober up ASAP.
"I'm not drunk!"
Mu Yunhe hugged Bai Fanlu's waist tightly and shouted loudly, "I'm not drunk!"
Bai Fanlu was helpless, "People who are drunk will say that they are not drunk."
"I'm not drunk, you're drunk..." Mu Yunhe suddenly buried himself in his waist, "You're drunk, that's why... you ignore me, I want you to sober up, you're drunk..."
Bai Fanlu frowned, and tried hard to break the two hands on his waist.
"Lin Qiu, I feel so uncomfortable..."
Bai Fanlu was stunned for a moment, but his hands lost strength in an instant. He sat on the edge of the bed in a daze, and turned his head slightly after a while, as if to "look" at the person behind him.
"Don't ignore me..."
Half of Mu Yunhe's body was hung on the edge of the bed, and the other half was hung on Bai Fanlu's body. His face was flushed with drunkenness, and he repeated raving words in a pleading tone.
"You look like a ghost, you don't look like a general who wants to go to battle to kill the enemy."
Bai Fanlu patted his hand, "Let go of me, I'll make another bowl of hangover soup."
There was no movement behind him, but Bai Fanlu knew he was still there when he heard the sound of breathing.
"Then you coax me... I'll let go."
Coax? You treat yourself like a child. Even though he thought so, Bai Fanlu couldn't help slowing down his voice, "Be obedient, let go first."
After a short pause, Mu Yunhe let go of his hand, and Bai Fanlu got up without hesitation, and walked outside.
Mu Yunhe sat blankly by the bed, just when he thought that Bai Fan Road would never return, the door opened, and the man came in with a bowl of hangover soup and came to him.
"Drink it and get a good night's sleep."
Bai Fanlu stood, and calmly handed over the hangover soup.
And Mu Yunhe was sitting, slightly raised his head to look at Bai Fanlu's face, this time he didn't go crazy with alcohol, he obediently held the bowl and drank it up.
Then he watched Bai Fanlu also sit on the bed, as in the past many days, he got inside and lay down with his clothes on, without saying a word to him.
The hangover soup rolled into the stomach, as if it was more heart-burning than the gut-piercing spirits just eaten.
Mu Yunhe thought he had tried his best to endure, but the feeling of being choked by someone's throat became more and more obvious.
The hands on the edge of the bed were clenched and turned white, and suddenly he waved his palm, and the bed curtains on both sides fell down.
Before Bai Fanlu could react in the future, he was hugged fiercely, and Mu Yunhe bit his throat like a wild animal. There was no tender kiss, nor any tender foreplay.
Bai Fanlu instinctively resisted at first, but then he stopped moving.
But when it was time to go in, Mu Yunhe stopped.
Suddenly he turned over and went down from above, lifted the bed curtain and strode out.
Hearing the sound of the footsteps receding, Bai Fanlu suddenly felt desolate. He lay there in silence for a long time with his eyes open, without thinking of closing his clothes or covering him with a quilt.
It wasn't until a warm palm was pressed against his chest that Bai Fanlu shuddered all over that he realized how cold his body was now.
Mu Yunhe sighed, "This is the second time I've gone and returned for you, there's no way, I'm just such a wimp, just laugh at me, I don't blame you."
Holding the ointment in his hand, he gently wiped it on Bai Fanlu's neck. Just now, his mouth was indifferent. There were marks all over the man's shoulders and neck, and there were purple marks on his waist from his fingers.
He didn't say a word.
But after he left, this distraught look, is it affectionate or ruthless
Mu Yunhe was completely confused.
"If you're angry, you can bite back," he said.
"..."
Of course, it is impossible for Bai Fanlu to bite back, he is not like someone, he is a canine.
Actually, his body was in pain, but the action of Mu Yunhe applying the medicine to him, rubbing every place with his fingertips very delicately, really made Bai Fanlu tremble with distress.
If the self-control that he worked so hard to maintain was a little bit disintegrated, he would call out "A Zhan" a little bit.
But now this title, from his standpoint, he couldn't say it no matter what.
After applying the medicine, Mu Yunhe put Bai Fanlu's clothes back on, leaned over and kissed him on the forehead, hugged him like he did countless nights before, and whispered in his ear, "Go to sleep."
After a while, Bai Fanlu replied, "En."
It was quiet for a long time again, "I will go to the barracks at Maoshi tomorrow, you don't have to come and see me off, sleep more."
The last sentence, "Take care of yourself."
Bai Fanlu didn't reply.
In the lonely night, I don't know who sighed softly, adding to the thin and cold quilt, and the loneliness on both sides.
After Mu Yunhe went out to fight, the days on Baifan Road became even cleaner. Apart from Liu Xin in Xianxue Garden, only Princess Mu came here occasionally.
As usual, Bai Fanlu still asked Liu Xin to read medical books for him, and later he would buy medicinal materials back, to understand the properties of medicines, study medical theory and pharmacology, and draw pictures when he has time.
He chose a long-term goal for himself, to draw a picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.
It took Mo Jiuli a year, and he still has almost a year left.
In this way, I lived every day to the fullest, without being disturbed or worried, until one evening after half a month.
Bai Fanlu sat in the courtyard drawing as usual, and suddenly he felt that someone was watching him from somewhere.
It's just that the line of sight was fleeting, and when Bai Fanlu wanted to distinguish it carefully, it disappeared like an illusion.
This strangeness lasted for about a week, and it always appeared in the same direction at the same time. Finally, one day, Bai Fanlu clearly heard movement outside the courtyard wall, which seemed to be a kitten climbing on the roof.
He waited for a while and asked, "Who is your Excellency?"
The man's breathing sounded calm in the silence, just when Bai Fanlu thought he would not answer him, the man asked him a word.
"Remember Xiao Liu?"
Bai Fanlu was taken aback, he naturally remembered Xiao Liu, who was his most important younger brother in the real world as a child.
But how is he mentioned in the book? Bai Fanlu faintly felt that it was weird, but it seemed to be more than that.
This "Little Six" seemed to have some important identity, but Bai Fanlu couldn't remember it, and when he wanted to ask again, that person had already left.
At first, Bai Fanlu waited on purpose for a while, but then the man disappeared as mysteriously as when he came, and never appeared again.
Gradually, it had been less than half a year since Muyunhe set out on an expedition, and he would send a letter from his family every month to report his safety, and there was another letter for Bai Fanlu alone, but Bai Fanlu didn't read it.
Every time Liu Xin got a letter, she rushed over excitedly to look for Bai Fanlu, but Bai Fanlu always said that she was busy and would read it later, but in fact, it was because she had been procrastinating.
Later, Liu Xin also felt that something was wrong, and rarely mentioned the little prince in front of Bai Fanlu.
They first met in late spring and early summer, and now it's Mid-Autumn Festival.
There was a simple family banquet in the palace. Bai Fanlu had dinner with Princess Mu, drank sweet-scented osmanthus tea and ate mooncakes after the meal, and returned to the house later than usual.
Originally, Bai Fanlu didn't need anyone to serve him, and besides, Liu Xin made a new good sister recently, Bai Fanlu let her go early, and sat alone in the courtyard.
It is customary to admire the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but Bai Fanlu can't see it either.
He leaned back against the wicker chair, raised his head slightly, and imagined the appearance of the moon from memory.
At this time, it is actually suitable to draw something suitable for the occasion, but Bai Fanlu was too lazy to move, and unconsciously remembered the man's sentence - "I will point out the stars for you to 'listen'."
If he was there, what would he say
"To admire the moon, how can I do it without me?"
A pair of arms behind him suddenly embraced, and Bai Fanlu was tightly bound into a strong embrace.
"..." Is he hallucinating
But this illusion is too real.
Bai Fanlu raised his hand involuntarily, and when he touched the arms encircling him in front of him, the temperature and touch were very real.
"Lin Qiu, it's me, I'm back."
Muyunhe's hoarse voice, together with his whole body, was still dusty, as if he was killing the enemy on the battlefield just a moment ago, and now he came here, and he didn't even have time to catch his breath.
"You...how did you come back?" Bai Fanlu was still not sure.
Mu Yunhe laughed wearily, "I came back after running out of six horses."
"I'm not asking you this, what about the frontline warfare?"
"The war is stable, and there is no big problem at present. Everyone is homesick on Mid-Autumn Eve, and so am I."
Only then can Bai Fanlu confirm that this person actually came back from the thousands of miles away from Nanban to Hengchang.
Gathering his mind, he wanted to get out of this embrace first, but instead was hugged even tighter. Muyunhe's exhausted voice was obviously weak, and he made a buzzing nasal sound, "I haven't rested for a moment for two days and two nights, Lin Qiu, is your heart made of stone?"
Bai Fanlu's heart, which he thought had been hardened to stone, still trembled, "...I'm going to find someone to get you bath water, a bath can relieve fatigue."
Mu Yunhe still didn't let go, just said, "No need, I just want to come back to see you, and I'll leave in a while."
Bai Fanlu was stunned, "One, a while?"
Mu Yunhe tightened his arms, rubbing against Bai Fanlu's neck with infinite attachment, "Yeah, I'll be leaving in a while, so don't tell my mother, she knows she must blame me for being worthless."
"..." Bai Fanlu never imagined that two days and two nights, six horses, were just for "this moment".
Mu Yunhe laughed at himself, "But I'm just worthless, I just want to see you too much... Lin Qiu, you are so cruel, not only did I not reply to the letter, but you also treated me like this when I finally came back today." cold."
It sounds like I am quite ruthless, but can I do without being ruthless
Bai Fanlu was silent for a while, and then said, "You'd better sleep before you leave, if you keep going like this without sleep, your body will collapse."
But Mu Yunhe asked him, "Then can I sleep with you?"
When did I refuse him not to sleep with him
"Yes." Bai Fanlu replied.
Mu Yunhe pecked at the end of his brow, "That's great."
"You'd better wash it first, it will be more comfortable." Bai Fanlu wanted him not to hold him like this.
Mu Yunhe laughed when he heard the words, "If your tone of voice can be gentler, I will think you are implying what I can do."
Hearing this unscrupulous teasing, he went back to the past in a trance, when he didn't know anything.
Bai Fanlu lowered his head and stopped urging him to let go.
But Mu Yunhe didn't take a bath, nor did he stay to sleep, he just sat in the yard with Bai Fanlu in his arms for a while, and told him some anecdotes about the stars in the sky and the beauty of the moon.
Like countless reunited families, it is plain and warm.
Then Bai Fanlu's wrist felt cold, and at the same time as a jade bracelet was put on, Mu Yunhe leaned over and kissed his lips.
After a little while, it seemed that I was afraid that I would be reluctant to part with it for a while.
kissed, and left.
He may have been here for at most half an hour. Afterwards, Bai Fanlu sat alone for a long time, and when he finally got up and wanted to go back to rest, he was still a little unknown what night it was.
But the warm and cool touch on the wrist can't be faked, that person really came back.
Lost six horses for two days and two nights, just for this short period of less than half an hour, just to say this sentence with my own mouth
"It's full and full, and it lasts for a long time. Lin Qiu, happy Mid-Autumn Festival."
That night, Bai Fanlu finally dreamed again. Since the dream about "Mo" and "Zhan" that day, he never dreamed about those two people again. Are no longer patronizing.
It's just that this time the dream became blurred again, and I couldn't see anything clearly, only hearing the words between the two people.
Mo Jiuli's voice was as cold as ice and snow, "That's right, I am the demon god, and all the turbidity in the world is caused by me, Qi Zhao, why don't you do it?"
Devil? Bai Fanlu heard this word, what is it
"How can you be a demon god, you are obviously just an ordinary person!"
Qi Zhao seemed to be in the midst of something, and Bai Fanlu heard that his voice was clearly filled with anger, but it was intermittent, as if violently stirred by some kind of supernatural power.
Mo Jiuli was still so cold, "Didn't you suspect it a long time ago? Otherwise, how could you have imprisoned Shanhouxue? You have also noticed it. It's... that's what I used to deceive people."
"Ari..."
"If you don't kill me, you won't be able to protect the common people in this world."
Qi Zhao seemed to be trying to break free from something, he was furious for a moment, and Bai Fanlu clearly felt his powerful divine force field all around him.
"No! You won't have the heart to destroy this world, those paintings you painted, those human beings! I don't believe you can do such a cruel thing!"
Mo Jiuli should be under the pressure of Qi Zhao's divine power, but his voice was so cold that there was no ripple.
"Emperor Zhaohe, you are too naive. The number one god in the world, the only pure god in the world, should only have the right way in his heart. If you are so indecisive, the world should have been overturned long ago."
Bai Fanlu faintly felt that a trace of cold air meandered out from the suppression of Qi Zhao's divine power, directly wrapped around his wrist, and then his whole body.
Mo Jiuli sneered, "You have seen it with your own eyes, haven't you? And those paintings... what can they replace? Can they replace your eyes, or your hands, who can they protect for you, or who can they destroy for you?"
"Ari..."
"Qizhao, in fact, I have been curious since a long time ago, what kind of person you are destined to be my opponent."
"But now I feel very satisfied, let's do it, as I said, if this day comes, I hope that you will do it yourself, and only you can kill me."
"No!" Qi Zhao roared angrily, "I won't do it! Ali, you... don't force me! I will find a way, I will think of a way to make you recover! I will definitely!"
"You wait for me! You are not allowed to go anywhere! You wait for me!"
Qi Zhao's divine power suddenly withdrew.
It was only then that Bai Fanlu realized that there was a more cold and gloomy force in the space, just like the vastness of the universe at the beginning of the prehistoric era.
Whose power is it
And since Qi Zhao left, the place has regained its silence.
Bai Fanlu stood there in a daze, looking at the void, when suddenly, he heard Mo Jiuli's voice from the bottom of his heart.
"I just recovered... Qi Zhao, this is the real me... This poor man who has been in the 'darkness' for thousands of years, he should have died a long time ago, and he has long wanted to die."
"But now, I'm so reluctant..."
When Bai Fanlu woke up, for some reason, tears streamed down his face.
He held a sachet tightly in his hand. He had never worn this sachet under his pillow since he was idle at home, but this time, for some reason, he unconsciously grabbed it in his hand in his sleep.
The fabric under the palm is smooth, and the outline of small things can be hidden when pinched.
By coincidence, Bai Fanlu reached in, trying to take out the two little rabbits, but his fingers touched something else first.
Smooth filaments that seem to be hair
"One comb to the end, the second to comb the white hair to match the eyebrows..."
"You said we're like this... don't we look like... knotted hair?"
It turned out that it was two strands of hair tied with red thread—two strands of hair.
The author has something to say: Bai Xiaolu: When did you cut my hair
Cloud Dog Zhan: …
Bai Xiaolu: Don't you know that your body, hair and skin are affected by your parents? (The heart is blushing and the mouth is hard.jpg)
Liu Xin: I'll prove to the little prince that he didn't cut your son's hair.
Bai Xiaolu:
Liu Xin: He combed...
Yungou Zhan: (interrupted hastily) Oh, what
Yungou os: This chapter is pitiful enough, and if I am known to secretly pluck my hair from a comb, then should I be a human again? (Enclosure counseling dog.jpg)
