Shang Jun sighed bitterly: "I'm afraid!" He was really afraid, he was afraid of dragging him down, afraid that someone would be involved in the killing because of him, afraid that he would see the dreary scene of blood splashing on the yellow sand again, that was what entangled him every night. nightmare.
"You!" Xiao Zongqing was furious, stood up, and shouted, "You just don't believe that I can take care of you and help you, right?"
San'er's stubborn temper came again, and Shang Jun said helplessly: "I didn't mean that."
"You are. In your heart, I am a willful child. You have never treated me as a man, right?" Saying that, Xiao Zongqing actually climbed onto the bed and stared at Shang Jun with anger in his eyes. , There are also unwillingness, and even grievances.
"San'er, you..." Shang Jun was frightened by Xiao Zongqing like this.
Xiao Zongqing stared at Shang Jun, gritted his teeth, and said loudly, "I like you, I want to take care of you, I want to protect you, I want to marry you!"
In fact, it's not that difficult to say this. Xiao Zongqing felt relaxed, he should have said it long ago.
He was relaxed, but Shang Jun was stunned. marry him? Shang Jun patted his head, he didn't fall into the sea and hit his head, was he stupid? At this time, he really hoped that he had fallen stupid, but Xiao Zongqing's extremely serious eyes told him that what he said was true.
Calm down, calm down, after secretly adjusting the breath, Shang Jun moved back carefully and gently persuaded: "San'er, I know you like me, but that's because your mother left early, and brother is always there. Take care of you, so you like me, in fact, just like your sister, when you grow up, you will find that there are many good girls—"
"Enough!" Grabbing Shang Jun's shoulder, Xiao Zongqing approached and said word by word, "I said, I like you. Men like women." He still thought he was a child, nothing understand? He wanted him to know that he was the one who had to be. Not a businessman!
Xiao Zongqing's face was almost on his face, and the hot breath sprayed on his face, itching. The magnified handsome face made it difficult for Shang Jun to breathe, and his warm and firm eyes made him inexplicably flustered. At this moment, he is no longer the boy who smiled in the sun, he is now a man . Shang Jun leaned his back against the wall, swallowed his saliva, and said in a low voice, "San'er, listen to me—"
He just listened too much, and he doesn't want to listen any more now. That chattering lip should really be covered, and he did, using his lips.
"Well..." Xiao Zongqing's face suddenly enlarged in front of him, he only felt a warm breath hit him, his lips were hot, and an indescribable numbness spread from his lips to his heart...
Snapped!
"Do you know what you are doing!"
Shang Jun slapped Xiao Zongqing on the face with a slap, and wiped his lips with the back of his hand to hide his embarrassment of shortness of breath. San'er actually kissed him. how so! He has always treated him like a younger brother, and the warm breath on his mouth is still there, but Shang Jun feels as if he is in an ice cellar.
His face was hot, and a dark red five-finger print was left on Xiao Zongqing's right cheek, but he seemed to feel no pain, looked at Shang Jun blankly, and said word by word: "I have never been as Make sure you want what you want.”
"Xiao Zongqing!" Shang Jun was angry.
"I said, I like you, it's not a goddamn sibling relationship, I won't kiss my sister." He likes him, or rather, he fell in love with him, he doesn't know since when, but in At this moment, he was very firm.
Shang Jun's head hurts, but now it seems like it's going to explode. Calm down, he must be calm and not be influenced by San'er. Shang Jun held his forehead and took a deep breath. After a while, he raised his head and replied slowly: "Okay, I don't care if you like me, whether it is the dependence of relatives, or the love of men for women, in short, I will not Talking to you about these love affairs of children, if you want to marry a wife and have children, you should find a girl who is right in line with you, and don't waste time on me."
They are simply impossible.
"Why?" Xiao Zongqing doesn't understand, aren't they two equals? Frowning slightly, Xiao Zongqing asked, "You don't like me?"
Shang Jun secretly complained in his heart. He didn't know how to explain it. He had to say truthfully: "It's not for you. The meaning of my life is to complete my mission. Now I have no heart and no qualifications to talk about love." People who have a deep hatred in the sea of blood, what can they do to love
"I can help you fulfill your wish, I can accompany you and protect you." Shang Jun will disguise himself as a man. There must be a reason for this. Xiao Zongqing has long guessed that he is a person with secrets and stories. It doesn't stop him from liking him!
How could he understand it? Shang Jun shook his head and sighed: "You don't understand the stakes, I don't want you to be involved."
Again, why does he keep pushing him away? Xiao Zongqing finally shouted angrily, "After all, you don't want me to help you, you just treat me as an outsider. Or, in your heart, I'm just a child, you don't believe that I can help you, protect me You! Right?"
"San'er!" Shang Jun had a splitting headache, his body was cold and hot, and he had to face Xiao Zongqing's rogue-like clamor, he became angry and couldn't help shouting, "Look at how you are now, self-willed. , stubborn, self-righteous, what are you not a child? You said you want to help me, to protect me, why help me, because you are the third young master of the Xiao family? Because of your reckless behavior, or because you are unparalleled in the world Stubborn temper?"
"What I'm going to do is not a joke. It may cause you and your Xiao family to be destroyed, and it will never be recovered. You don't know anything, but you only scream and get angry. How can you make me treat you as an adult? "Even with these few words, Shang Jun was already panting, leaning against the wall, his forehead was covered with fine sweat, and his throat seemed to be on fire. Every word he said was a kind of torment. Shang Jun thought that Xiao Zongqing didn't know how to make trouble later, and his heart was weak.
For a long time, Shang Jun didn't wait for Xiao Zongqing's roar. He slowly raised his head and saw him staring at the pot of fire, full of anger and coldness. Shang Jun looked at him from the side of his face, and on his clenched cheeks, one after another cold and hard lines showed that he was restraining his temper.
In the cabin, it was so quiet that only the waves and the wind slapped the cabin outside, and the sound of charcoal squeaking and burning. Shang Jun secretly blamed himself, did he speak too harshly, San'er was just a teenager, And he really did his best to him, he shouldn't say that to him.
Just as he was about to apologize, Xiao Zongqing's calm and low voice came slowly, "In your heart, there is only your wish and your mission, isn't it?"
Shang Jun was stunned, and replied truthfully: "Yes." He did not dare to forget the hatred of destroying the family for a moment.
"If you fulfill your wish, you will live simply and happily like other women, with husbands and children? Isn't it?"
"San'er?" Shang Jun looked at him strangely calm, and couldn't help but worry.
Raising his head, his dark eyes did not allow him to dodge and continued to ask, "Really?"
Yes or no? Shang Jun asked himself, he has nothing to worry about after avenging his family revenge, he should be able to live a peaceful life, if he still has his life. Shang Jun secretly laughed at himself, and replied indifferently: "Maybe it is."
Just when Shang Jun thought he was going to say something, Xiao Zongqing stood up indifferently and left the cabin without looking back.
"Three!"
Shang Jun called out softly, and the answer to him was a cold back.
what happened to him
A few hours later, the ship passed through the big storm without any risk, but Shang Jun was completely ill. Seasickness and a cold made him have to stay in the cabin for more than ten days. Since that day, San'er has moved to Lao You's room. He can only see him every day when the medicine is delivered, and he always waits silently for him to finish his drink, then leaves with an empty bowl, never again. I would like to have a word with him. Shang Jun's heart hurts a little. He knows that he hurts him, but what can he do if he doesn't? Rather than involving him in this bloody battle, he would rather he hates him.
The ship finally entered the EAST Harbor. Shang Jun walked out of the cabin, stood on the deck, and looked at the blue sky. Suddenly, he felt a little disappointed. Man, Shang Jun laughed, is he eager to see him again? Sure enough, people are always fond of good things.
When Shang Jun turned his head, he saw Xiao Zongqing standing not far from him watching him silently. Shang Jun stepped forward and took the initiative to smile: "San'er."
"I, I'm back to Cang Yue." This was the first thing he said to him in the past few days, and Shang Jun felt a little sad. After all, he really treated him like a friend or even a relative, but now he can only be Did you say goodbye
Even though his heart was sour, Shang Jun still smiled and said, "Be careful on the road."
Xiao Zongqing nodded lightly, turned around and left. Shang Jun raised his head slightly and looked at the boundless sea of clouds, but he didn't want to see the cold and arrogant back disappear in front of him.
"Shangjun."
When he thought that Xiao Zongqing had gone far, his low voice sounded again. Shang Jun looked down, and San'er stood on the stone steps and looked at him, as if he had been watching for a long time. For the first time, he saw a light mist in San'er's eyes. He didn't see it in the den of thieves, and he didn't see it in front of the sick bed, but today he saw it. Is that a sign of heartbreak? Shang Jun was a little overwhelmed.
Xiao Zongqing looked at Shang Jun standing against the wind at the bow of the boat. He knew that he was not worthy to stand with him now. He asked him why he helped him, but he couldn't answer. Xiao Zongqing opened his mouth lightly and said in a low voice, "One day, I will let you know that only me, Xiao Zongqing, can help you realize your wish, protect you from harm, and take care of you for the rest of your life."
He didn't care if Shang Jun could hear it or not, because this was the oath he made to himself.
Looking at him one last time, Xiao Zongqing left the port without looking back.
"San'er!" Shang Jun couldn't hear what San'er said, but he recognized the resolute look in his eyes when San'er had to do something, but this time it was sharper than usual. What? Shang Jun was inexplicably flustered.
"Why, Zongqing is angry with you again?"
A clear low laughter sounded behind him, and Shang Jun looked back and said in surprise, "Bixian? Why are you here?"
Shrugging, Bi Xian said with a smile, "You forgot our agreement? Today is the day when the goods return to the port. Naturally, I am here to inspect the half of the goods that belong to me."
Shang Jun shook his head and sighed: "It really is the true nature of a businessman."
When talking to Bi Xian, San'er's figure had long since disappeared in the harbor, and Shang Jun looked back sadly, that's all, when it's his turn to take care of San'er's affairs and not appear in front of him, maybe it's the best Method. He has a lot to do.
Looking at Bi Xian, Shang Jun said with a low smile, "Are you interested in discussing another business?"
Bi Xian smiled gently: "Tell me about it."
"I have decided that I will go to and from the sea four times a year, and Mr. Meng has already arranged for it. I can match you with half of each shipment."
Bi Xian raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Conditions?" There is a price to pay for anything in this world.
Talking to a smart person is easy, and Shang Jun didn't beat around the bush, and replied, "I want big and small news about Cang Yue's ruling and public affairs, inside and outside the palace. Also, news about the Phoenix coffin and Xuanshi when the late emperor died."
Looking at Shang Jun, Bi Xian had his own calculations in his heart. Shang Jun seemed to be very concerned about the affairs of the Cang Yue court, but in fact, it was nothing, he sold news, he bought news, it was just a transaction. It's just that he did hear about the phoenix coffin, because someone bought it at a high price. Unfortunately, after a long time of investigation, it was all unfinished news. He only vaguely knew that it was related to the enthronement of the royal family. Shang Jun mentioned again, is he related to the royal family
After some deliberation, Bi Xian replied: "The former request I can agree to you and inform you of Cang Yue's news once a month, as for the latter, it has been more than 20 years since the late emperor passed away, so I can't do anything about it. "
If you don't even check, you know you can't do anything? The rejection was too quick, and there was only one explanation, that he must know something. With his back against the mast, Shang Jun suddenly smiled in a low voice: "Miss Lan is really a kind and gentle girl. She is beautiful and has a good heart. I am a little tempted."
"You—" Bi Xian stared at Shang Jun. According to the schedule, he only went for six days, can he see the affection between him and Lan Yi? He must have confirmed that he knew about the Phoenix Coffin, otherwise why bother to tell Lan Yi!
Bi Xian sighed softly, "I really can't hide anything from you." This man really had such good eyesight, he was convinced.
Shang Jun still smiled, pretending to be distressed and said, "Miss Lan asked me to bring a letter to someone. I was careless and I didn't know where to put it! It's really bad." He didn't believe it, Bi Xian didn't promise.
really-
"Give me half a year and I'll give you an answer."
Shang Jun took out the envelope on the cuff and handed it to Bi Xian. He, who was always calm, grabbed it immediately, and slowly opened it with a trembling hand.
Shang Jun turned his back, not to disturb Bi Xian. It was noon, and the early winter sun still shone so hard on the eyes that the sea breeze in the port was not cold, and it was very comfortable.
So worrying about it, can't stop it, it will hurt if you don't let go, and it will hurt more if you let go, but is it love? He still doesn't understand, San'er, does he really understand? I hope not, I understand, and it starts to hurt.
Although it was early winter, the bamboo forest was still full of greenery, and on a clear pool, a few strands of bamboo leaves fell quietly, rolling among the ripples. It was late at night, and the bright moon quietly climbed up the small building in the lake. The soft moonlight sprinkled in the quiet courtyard, and only the wind and sand blew through the bamboo forest. It was quiet.
A woman in Tsing Yi was leaning on a chaise longue padded with sable furs. Unwanted blue silk reaching to her ankles was draped around her body. A few candles were placed beside her, accompanied by a cup of tea. The woman casually flipped through the scroll in her hand.
Suddenly, on the lake outside the house, two figures, one black and one white, were entangled and fighting. Both of them were not weak in martial arts, and it was difficult to decide the outcome for a while. On the calm water, they had passed several tricks. The two of them seemed to be unable to enjoy themselves. They jumped up and hit the bamboo forest all the way from the lake.
Putting down the book and walking out of the bamboo house, the woman narrowed her eyes slightly by the moonlight, and it took a long time to see who the man in white who was entangled with Yan Yu was.
"Yan Yu, stop." The clear voice successfully prevented the two of them from fighting. Yan Yu stared at the man in white alertly. This man's martial arts are extremely high. . The man in white also looked at him with admiration. For so many years, he was the only one who could do so many tricks with him on the water. This person must have a high internal strength.
This person is always so handsome that you can't ignore him, whether it is under the scorching sun or in the bright moon, he is so radiant. Murong Shuqing walked over with a light smile, stood in front of the smiling man in white robe Shengxue, and said with a faint smile, "Long time no see, Shang Jun."
