As the sun sets in the west, the warm golden light sprinkles on the front hall porch, warm and peaceful. It's a pity that the atmosphere in the spacious hall is a little depressed. There were a few people sitting or standing, some sipping tea quietly, some walking back and forth anxiously, and some contemplating without saying a word. Shang Jun kept his head down slightly, looking calmly at the rolling, slowly blooming tea leaves in his hands, feeling uneasy in his heart. Since seeing the man in white with the mask in the afternoon, his heart has been unable to calm down. The dazzling white, the blazing red, constantly stimulated him.
Long Yihai, who had been silent for a long time after returning from the court, finally spoke up first: "Huang Qi has been killed, and Long Chimu will continue to eradicate dissidents in the future! Blood and rain are inevitable." , he wants to turn defeat into victory, the chances are even slimmer, he can't let loyal and righteous people like Master Huang die miserably one by one.
Shang Jun blew the tea leaves lightly, and asked in a hurry: "Master Li has returned home after retiring, when will he leave Tiancheng?"
Everyone looked at Xiao Zongqing, no one knew everything about Tiancheng better than him. Xiao Zongqing seemed to be in a bad mood all the time, and replied coldly, "Three days later."
Is it only three days? Master Li was the elder of the three dynasties. He must know something about the last emperor's edict that they didn't know. Moreover, how many people in the court can be used by him, only Master Li knows. Looking at Shang Jun, Long Yihai said in a deep voice, "We must see him."
Xiao Zongqing shook his head directly and replied: "His house is surrounded so tightly that no one can enter or leave casually. Except for Fang Fan, who is currently the most favored servant of the Ministry of Punishment, only he can enter with a token. And the token is not ordinary. The token of the yin and yang, which is divided into two parts, Fang Fan and the defending general are one and a half, each piece is one-to-one, it is impossible to forge an identical piece."
"It's Fang Fan, this villainous villain again!" Long Liuli heard Fang Fan's name, her almond eyes widened, and she scolded in anger, "Sooner or later, he will be smashed into tens of thousands of pieces." If it weren't for him in the emperor In front of him slandering and informing, the elder brother and Mr. Huang will not be killed.
"The most important thing now is to see Mr. Li, save his life first!" Speaking of Fang Fan, Long Yihai's eyes were full of murderous intent, but his face was still calm, and he said calmly, "Young Master Qin's Disguise is very good, as long as we can get the token, we can go in. It’s just this token, what should we do?”
You can't fake it, you can only steal it! Everyone has thought of it, but this kind of shady method cannot be said from the mouth of Prince Rui, who may become the lord of the country. Shang Jun sneered in his heart, opened his mouth indifferently and said, "Steal it."
Shang Jun spoke loudly and calmly, Long Yihai was embarrassed, and Xiao Zongqing couldn't help laughing. Shang Jun didn't care about the so-called reputation, Long Yihai looked down on him too much. At noon, I was in a good mood now. Xiao Zongqing smiled and said, "You can give it a try. Everyone is tired all the way, so let's take a good rest first. I will arrange the token stealing."
Shang Jun got up first, Xiao Zongqing did not shy away from so many pairs of eyes in the front hall, holding Shang Jun's hand, and said with a smile as he walked: "Jun, I will help you back to the room."
Shang Jun wanted to withdraw his hand, but was held tightly by Xiao Zongqing, Shang Jun smiled bitterly, that's all, let him.
The two held hands like this and disappeared from the sight of everyone recklessly. The people in the front hall had different expressions. There was a trace of pain in Qin Xiuzhi's eyes, Long Liuli carefully observed his expression, got up gently and walked in front of Xiuzhi, just as he was about to speak, Xiuzhi suddenly stood up and walked in the direction where Shang Jun left.
Long Liuli stood blankly on the spot, didn't he even look at her? She didn't believe it, she raised her foot to catch up, and the comforting voice of Long Yihai came from behind: "Liu Li, he doesn't belong to you!"
So who does he belong to? Is that the man named Shang Jun? She is not reconciled. Ignoring the sigh behind her, Long Liuli lifted her skirt and followed the ink-colored figure.
Bypassing the front hall is a quiet nine-curved stone bridge. The bridge deck is built almost as high as the water surface. Walking on the stone bridge is like walking on the water surface. The lake water is clear, and you can clearly see the red carp swimming happily underwater. When Shangjun stepped onto the stone bridge, the fish swam over and lingered at his feet. Shang Jun couldn't help but slow down, Xiao Zongqing took out a small sachet from somewhere and handed it to Shang Jun. Shang Jun took it, poured some out, and found that it was fish food.
Lightly sprinkled some on the water, the fish scrambled to grab food, some even jumped out of the water, and the fine water splashed the hem of Shang Jun's clothes. Along the way, fish food was sprinkled all the way, and the fish group was like a bright red ribbon, swaying and reverberating with the footsteps of Shang Jun.
Shang Jun raised the corners of his lips unconsciously, how long has it been since he was in such a good mood to feed the fish and play? In memory, there seems to be no such thing. When he finally saw him smiling, Xiao Zongqing also smiled happily: "They must also think you are too beautiful, and they will surround you as soon as you come."
In order to make these fish obedient, he asked a person about the size of Shang Jun to wear a white shirt to feed them every day, so as soon as Shang Jun appeared, the fish would swim over. He guessed that Shang Jun would like it, but he didn't expect that he laughed, and finally didn't raise this pond of red carp in vain.
nice? Shang Jun laughed, he looks thin and haggard now, it has nothing to do with beauty. Shaking the fish food in his hand, Shang Jun smiled and said, "I've heard that the fish sank to the bottom of the water ashamed when they saw the beauty, but your fish is special, jumping up when they saw the beauty? And when did you Are you in the habit of bringing fish food with you?"
Xiao Zongqing stared helplessly at Shang Jun's teasing smiling face, and replied dumbly, "Jun! Sometimes it's more cute to be appropriately ignorant."
Shang Jun raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled softly: "No talent is virtue?"
"Yes!" Couldn't he be as proud as an ordinary woman? Surprise? Be shy
Shaking his head pretending to be distressed, Shang Jun sighed, "Then I'm just afraid that I'm destined to..." Immoral!
The two looked at each other and laughed.
Suddenly, there was a scent that seemed to be absent in the air. It was so fragrant that Shang Jun looked around and saw nothing. Xiao Zongqing smiled but did not say a word, and led him across the stone bridge to a courtyard. Shang Jun looked up and saw four free and easy cursive scripts "Hanging Your Heart" embedded on a delicate sapphire lintel.
Do you haunt your heart? Shang Jun looked at the courtyard gate thoughtfully, his feet stagnant.
Xiao Zongqing gently pushed open the courtyard door, and a more intense aroma rushed to his face. Under Xiao Zongqing's excited eyes, Shang Jun still stepped into the small courtyard, and the beauty in front of him instantly captured Shang Jun's mind.
In the yard, dozens of pear trees are competing to spit their stamens, and the snow-white stamens of the trees are trembling slightly under the breeze of the spring, infinitely shy. Take a deep breath, full of intoxicating aroma. Shang Jun walked slowly under the pear tree, and a few delicate flowers swayed down with the breeze. Reaching out his hand, a falling flower stopped on his palm, flicking the petals, Shang Jun sighed: "The pear blossoms are blooming, so beautiful!"
Under the setting sun, a faint golden light enveloped him, and he, dressed in a snow-white gown, stood in the pear blossom forest, as if blending with the bright flowers. Xiao Zongqing looked a little crazy, with a touch of melancholy, a slender body, and a beautiful profile, so beautiful and dreamy! Hearing his sigh, Xiao Zongqing couldn't help but reply: "I think you are more beautiful."
Shang Jun's hand trembled, and the petals slipped from his fingers. Turning his back, Shang Jun put away the fragility at that moment, and said slightly annoyed: "San'er, when did you become glib?"
Xiao Zongqing sighed, although it was only a moment of tenderness, but now he is satisfied. Not answering Shang Jun's words, Xiao Zongqing pointed to the hut behind Hualin and said with a smile, "Your room is there. You are the only one living in this yard, and no one will disturb you."
The huge garden and the red carp in that pond were specially prepared for him. Shang Jun slowly turned around and said sincerely, "Thank you, San'er." Thank you for everything you have done for me.
The solemn expression of Shang Jun made Xiao Zongqing's heart sink. He pretended to shrug his shoulders easily, and said with a smile: "A few pear trees make you so moved? If I knew earlier, I would plant pear trees all over the city."
"Actually, you don't have to do so much for me. I don't know how to repay you like this."
Sure enough, Shang Jun's next sentence broke Xiao Zongqing's reluctant smile. Holding Shang Jun's shoulder, Xiao Zongqing bent down slightly, staring into his eyes without allowing him to evade, and said, "As long as you like it, I will try my best to do it for you."
He is not a tender person, let alone pleasing anyone's favor. For him, he has done everything. Why does he just not understand
The next second, Shang Jun was hugged tightly into a warm embrace.
"Three?"
"Don't talk, just let me hold you like this for a while, just for a while."
The choked male voice in his ears made Shang Jun unable to move for a while. Is this the proud and domineering man
"Jun! I don't want to hear your words of thanks, and I don't need you to repay me. I just want you to stop treating me like a child, I am a man who can take care of you and protect you! Don't reject me so quickly, give me I have a chance, okay?"
good or not
good or not
Along with the tight embrace, in addition to the strong heartbeat, there were waves of heartache.
In the courtyard, under the swirling pear trees, the scene of the two hugging each other tightly just fell into those deep, sea-like eyes.
why
Why can Xiao Zongqing express his feelings for Shang Jun so calmly
Why didn't he dare to express his intentions to Shang Jun, even if it was a sentence
Qin Xiuzhi, Qin Xiuzhi, why don't you dare to say it? Why-
Surrounded by pear blossoms, the rain was flying, and Shang Jun leaned quietly in Xiao Zongqing's arms, and they were like a pair of lovers in front of him.
It turned out that just by looking at him in someone else's arms like this, his chest would tingle, and with each heartbeat, the pain would get worse. Even if the pain almost suffocated him, Qin Xiuzhi still couldn't move it. Feet, keep your eyes open.
Long Liuli chased to the front of the courtyard, only to see Qin Xiuzhi's stiff back, looking inside, the scene of the two men embracing came into view. Long Liuli sneered, God helped me, Shang Jun and Xiao Zongqing hugged each other like this, so we should give up. She must let Xiu Zhi know that she is more gentle and considerate than the man Shang Jun, and is much more charming and charming.
Walking slowly to Xiuzhi's side, her warm and tender hand gently held Xiuzhi's hand, and Long Liuli said warmly, "Xiuzhi, dinner is ready, let's go."
Xiuzhi's hands were cold and trembling slightly. Long Liuli held his hand in the palm of his hand and shook it gently, still whispering softly: "Xiuzhi, let's go!"
Qin Xiuzhi withdrew his hand indifferently, his eyes still hadn't moved from Shang Jun. That look of pain and attachment stabbed Long Liuli's heart. She is such a charming beauty standing in front of him, why does he have to stare at a man? Holding Xiuzhi's hand tightly, Long Liuli exerted all her strength. At this time, she just wanted to drag Xiuzhi away, regardless of the manners and etiquette of the ladies.
After being dragged for a few steps, Qin Xiuzhi stopped and said with a blank expression, "Let go."
Unwilling, Long Liuli threw off Qin Xiuzhi's hand, pointed to the small courtyard not far away, and asked angrily, "You didn't see clearly enough just now? Can't this change your mind?"
Change your mind? His heart was already tied to that person, how could he change his mind? Qin Xiuzhi smiled bitterly at himself, if this heart could be controlled by him, how could he be like this
Taking a deep breath, Long Liuli bit her lip lightly. Although her tone was a little heavy, she still tried to persuade softly: "Xiuzhi, he is a man! This kind of relationship will not have good results, you will be ridiculed, even Disgusting, you will lose a lot of things, don't you care?"
Long Liuli thought that Qin Xiuzhi would be angry, or at least his face would change greatly, but he just sighed and replied calmly, "I know he is a man."
Does he care? What Long Liuli said, how could he not know that everything was no match for the gentle smile of Shang Jun, his heart no longer belonged to him, what else did he care about
I know he is a man!
What does this mean, does it mean that for the sake of Lord Shang, he doesn't care about anything
Long Liuli stared at Qin Xiuzhi's beautiful face, love and hate, why couldn't he just look at her? All because of the businessman. She won't let Xiuzhi and Shang Jun be together, no.
With a cold snort, Long Liuli said coldly, "Even if you don't care what others think, what about him? Doesn't he care? Maybe even he will spurn you and laugh at you?"
One sentence seemed to stab Qin Xiuzhi's weakness, and his expression changed. Long Liuli was overjoyed, walked over to him, and continued to persuade softly, "Xiuzhi, let it go."
let it go…
Shang Jun's clear smile, flying eyes, his every move, every frown and smile, he will never forget everything about him. How he let go!
The scene of the hug just now flashed through his mind, and Qin Xiuzhi felt distressed. No, he won't let go! He has too many scruples and worries, so he has not expressed a word to Shang Jun until now. Even if he is really shamed by Shang Jun in the end, he still has to tell him his heart.
With a decision in his heart, Qin Xiuzhi's mood calmed down a little. Taking a step back, he nodded slightly to Long Liuli, and Qin Xiuzhi replied gently and distantly, "I don't need to worry about my affairs."
After speaking, he turned and left, ignoring the low voice of the woman behind him.
Staring angrily at Qin Xiuzhi's back as he walked away in a dashing manner, Long Liuli clenched her hands into fists. She cared about him and talked to him so much, yet he actually treated her like this. Aggrieved and resentment surged into his heart at the same time, Long Liuli shouted: "Qin Xiuzhi, you fool, he doesn't like you at all. He will never like you!"
Qin Xiuzhi's feet stagnated, but he still didn't look back, and continued to walk forward.
…
On the night of early spring, it was warm and cold, and the moonlight was like water, shining dimly on the sapphire table through the thin window paper. There was a faint fragrance of pear blossoms in the night breeze, and the breeze swept the stamens from time to time, making low whispers, everything was quiet and beautiful, but unfortunately the people sitting at the table were not in the mood to appreciate them.
In the evening, San'er hugged him for a while and left in a hurry. He has been sitting since the afternoon and has not moved. San'er likes him, he can no longer escape, but from the past to now, he only regards San'er as a relative, what should I do now
Feeling disturbed, suddenly there was a soft knock on the door, and Shang Jun was startled and asked, "Who?"
There was no response from the door, just the same soft knock on the door. Shang Jun is alert, this person's breath is even and long, he didn't hear anyone approaching just now, this person is not weak in martial arts. Shang Jun stood up and said coldly, "Come in."
With the force of a palm, the door was swept over, with pure white pear flowers, and a long white shadow appeared outside the door. Under the moonlight, the man dressed in a satin snow-white long gown and untied black hair entangled in the night wind, dancing wildly, the black iron mask on his face shone with a cold light, and the bright red paper fan was half-open, leisurely in the air. Play with your hands.
It's him! The man I saw on the street corner at noon.
Shang Jun unconsciously took a breath. At night, he was even more bizarre and wicked. He was just a person, but he gave Shang Jun a pressure, even fear, that he had never experienced in so many years.
The man stepped into the house and closed the door, everything was so natural, as if this was his place. A pair of eyes as sharp as eagles stared at Shang Jun up and down, and then said coldly: "On the seventeenth, you broke the record of the previous person, I want to see if the Nether Dew that hits me can still do it. What's so special about people who have lived so long."
The eyes in the mask are long and narrow and cold, without a trace of temperature, and the hoarse voice like a knife cut is horrifying. Is he the head of those men in black? No wonder the men in black are so cruel and vicious. With such a master, how can his subordinates be kind
What is the purpose of his coming this time? Shang Jun speculated in his heart, his face was still calm, and he said indifferently: "Have you seen it now?"
As if he knew what Shang Jun was thinking, the man patted the folding fan lightly, as if a cat was catching a mouse, but his voice was still numb: "I originally came to take Qin Xiuzhi's life today, but now, I seem to treat you even more. interested."
Repair it? Shang Jun was startled, took a step forward, stood opposite the man, looked directly at the evil eyes, and said coldly, "What do you want?"
The man's eyes flickered slightly, and his unwavering voice was dyed with a little interest, "Let me think about it."
This man is too arrogant. Shang Jun gritted his teeth secretly, and slowly put his hand on the soft sword around his waist.
Before Shang Jun could draw his sword, the bright red folding fan waved and placed it on Shang Jun's hand. The man said evilly, "Don't worry, I can't bear to kill you. I want to see how many days you can last."
Shang Jun hated his arrogance that he had the chance to win, as if he could play everyone in the palm of his hand. Lifting his breath in the palm of his hand, Shang Jun struck out a palm, and the man flashed sideways very quickly, grabbing Shang Jun's wrist. Shang Jun wanted to fight back, but just now he suddenly stimulated his inner strength, and his chest was burning with pain. Just a little stagnation, the man backhanded Shang Jun's acupuncture point, snorted coldly: "Someone is coming, you can call for help, anyway, the result will be the same as your guard."
It was Liu Yun, and Shang Jun was shocked and said anxiously, "What did you do to him?"
The man didn't answer, pressed the paper fan lightly on Shang Jun's lips, and hummed: "Shh."
"You—" Shang Jun still wanted to speak, but the sound of footsteps came from far and near. Is there really someone? The footsteps could be heard from so far away, the man's skill was so high that Shang Jun was startled, he quickly stopped, and the knock on the door sounded immediately.
The man leaned against the door in a leisurely manner, the folding fan in his hand swayed gently, and a silver-white edge could be faintly seen between the bright red folding fans. Shang Jun frowned, and no one in this house was a man's opponent. No matter who the people outside the door are, calling for help is nothing more than sending a few more people to death. Staring at the man coldly, Shang Jun asked as calmly as possible: "Who?"
A low male voice sounded outside the door, "It's me, Xiuzhi."
Fix it—
Shang Jun's heart came to his throat, how could it be Xiuzhi? How could it be him
The man was also stunned, his evil eyes lifted lightly, seeing the panic on Shang Jun's calm and arrogant face, his mood suddenly became very good, and his luck seemed to be good tonight.
The man shook the folding fan lightly, and instead of immediately attacking Xiu Zhi who was outside the door, he looked at Shang Jun provocatively. Shang Jun's heart seemed to be suspended in mid-air in a panic, and he was tapped on acupuncture points, unable to move. While glaring at the man and making eye contact with him, he replied as calmly as possible: "I'm tired, you can go, I'll talk about it tomorrow."
