It's night.
The last sunset glow also disappeared without a trace, ? The night soaked the sky like ink.
When the lights came on, Suzaku Street returned to its former tranquility. The two stone lions in front of the Guang'an Palace stood quietly, overlooking the patrolling soldiers passing by in twos and threes. The vermilion gate was closed tightly, but through the crack of light, one could glimpse the lively light and shadow inside.
Today is the palace banquet of Guang'an Palace.
It is also the farewell wine for the soldiers stationed at the border.
The banquet is coming to an end, most people are already drunk, and? are toasting crookedly around.
Zhou Dawu was sitting on the right side of Yi Lie. He also drank a little too much. Perhaps it was because of this that he hooked his shoulders so graciously, sometimes pulling him say something.
"You are already eighteen, and it's time to start a family." Zhou Dawu pouted his tongue, his eyes were a little foggy, and he leaned closer to Yan Lie, "The thing you asked me last time... I think that girl It’s almost over,? It’s time for the brothers to meet.”
Yi Lie is silent,? When he is silent, he always looks cold and solemn. If Zhou Dawu didn't know his temperament, he would inevitably think that he is that kind of lonely and withdrawn person. But he understands,? This young man is not no.
When they were escorting Fuyin back then, they encountered an ambush. Yan Lie had already escaped with the remnant soldiers. Seeing that he was trapped in a bandit's den alone, he asked the remnants to escort Fuyin away first, and rushed in alone with a spear In the enemy camp, after a hard fight, he finally escaped from the siege of more than a hundred bandits with him, who was seriously injured. No matter what he does, he is always taciturn, but he always takes the lead, and always stands at the head of the people when he advances and retreats. Therefore, even though he was promoted to the chief executive at a young age, no one in the mansion disapproves of him.
Zhou Dawu couldn't help but heartbroken with him: "Don't look at us all day in disgrace, but when we go home, it's not to mention how beautiful it is. There is a woman hugging and two babies in the bed. It feels so good, tsk , that’s what a man wants in his life.”
"Get married and start a business, get married first and then start a business, you kid reversed the order, you're so awesome, and you're going to be the commander of this county's guard at eighteen. Look, which girl in Lingnan who hasn't left the court is not Missing you here."
He hiccupped, and said earnestly: "If the girl has no serious problems, don't let her down. The eyes are full of purples and reds. Let's not be too twisted, understand?"
What to say, a slightly deep voice behind him suddenly interrupted him: "Da Wu, how much have you drunk?"
Zhou Dawu turned around, and it was actually King Guang'an who came over. He was still wearing the clawed robes and purple gold crown that he wore in today's amulet conferring ceremony. A cool look of displeasure.
He became much more sober at the moment, put down his wine glass and stood up, respectfully and respectfully said: "Your Highness."
Yi Lie also stood up.
Li Yuanmin made a gesture to get him up, took out a token from his sleeve, and handed it to him.
"After Yan Lie goes to the border, everything in the mansion will be handed over to you."
Looking at this majestic tiger head card, Zhou Dawu's remaining alcoholism disappeared immediately. He took the bronze medal with both hands respectfully and sincerely, and solemnly bowed his head: "This subordinate will definitely live up to His Highness's trust."
After Yi Lie took over as the commander of the county guards, the position of the commander in chief of the government soldiers must be vacated and replaced. Although Zhou Dawu knew that this position was almost his own in terms of seniority, but he really took over the position of the commander in chief of the government soldiers Tiger head brand, it is inevitable that I am still excited.
"Subordinates must take good care of the mansion!"
Li Yuanmin nodded, thought of something, took out a bag embroidered with wishful auspicious cloud patterns from his sleeve and handed it to him, "I heard that Brother Jun will celebrate his birthday tomorrow, and nothing else, you help me bring this For him, buy a few more new clothes, our son from the Guang'an Palace, you can't be too shabby."
Zhou Dawu took it with a snap, weighed it, and thought to himself, such a weight is more than just buying a few new clothes.
Even though he was the king of Guang'an who was so noble and alienated in the talisman granting ceremony in the daytime, and feared by all the officials, he treated others so leniently and kindly in private. , came to Lingnan Realm to assist him as if he was dying, and now he is dead set.
He no longer declined, but bowed his head deeply: "Thank you, Your Highness."
Li Yuanmin glanced at the young man beside Zhou Dawu. The tall man was expressionless, with only his dark eyes hanging down, just looking at him.
Tomorrow, he will leave me again.
Li Yuan's heart darkened, he looked away calmly, and turned away.
He also drank a lot of wine today, his face was flushed, and his body was very hot, so he walked to the edge of the covered bridge to blow the night breeze, while watching the lively scene in the courtyard from a distance.
After a while, the breeze around him stopped instantly. Li Yuanmin looked up and saw that it was Yan Lie who followed.
He held a cup of hot tea in his hand and handed it to him.
"Your Highness drank too much."
Li Yuanmin smiled and shook his head, but he also opened the lid of the cup, lowered his head and took a sip, then put the teacup on the shelf.
"Aren't you happy today, it's okay to drink two more glasses."
There was a burst of laughter and curses from afar. It must be some unlucky ghost who lost the guessing order again and was being persuaded to drink. Through the light and shadow, his voice was a little erratic.
The breeze was coming, and the two of them seemed to be isolated from the world in front of them, standing in another unknown foreign land.
Li Yuanmin retracted his gaze, raised his head, his snow-white face was already covered with gorgeous flushes, he just looked at Yan Lie, hot and undisguised, for a long while, he seemed to sigh with emotion road:
"Ariel, you have grown up."
At today's grand talisman granting ceremony, tens of thousands of county guards stood solemnly, and the young man standing at the head of the team was tall and straight, with cold and solemn eyes. At that time, Li Yuanmin felt that no one could be more brave than the child he raised Heroic.
He took a step back and leaned against the railing of the covered bridge, but his eyes never left the young man in front of him. At this moment, he really wanted to raise his hand to touch the warm, firm, slightly hard stubbly cheeks, and even wanted to boldly lean over to bite the Adam's apple that was sliding up and down, but he didn't do anything, and he couldn't do anything.
Outside, here, at this moment, they will always be the relationship between the master of the palace and his subordinates.
Their relationship is indescribable, like a section of moss that can only be hidden in the dark, growing wildly and confusedly in the dark, but in the sun, they can't have any transgressions.
No one understands the deep bond between them, so even if Zhou Dawu blatantly persuaded him to marry a wife, he couldn't stand up and say no.
Perhaps because of the thing in the cup, all kinds of inexplicable emotions came to my heart, but in the end Li Yuanmin swallowed all the sour, stinging, and bitter heart water, and only gently told him: "Ariel , go to the border, take good care of yourself.”
Yi Lie didn't respond to him, but took a step forward, keeping a distance where he could smell the fragrance of his body, and didn't seem too ambiguous in front of outsiders. He looked at him with lowered eyes, deeply yes, hot.
"Your Highness..." He said in a low voice, "Let me stay tonight."
Of course both sides know what this sentence means.
It means sticky, hot flashes, collisions, suppressed moaning, unresolved resentment and inextricable desire.
Of course he will allow him, how could he not.
Li Yuanmin thought, a bold and hot idea came up.
"No, you wait for me in your yard."
***
It was late at night, and Yan Lie was out of his mind, lying on the bed with his hands behind his back as a pillow, staring at the sun and moon relief on the bed in a daze. Tomorrow he will set off for the border, and it may take two or three months before he comes back.
However, he had to go, he had to take over the largest armed forces in the Lingnan area, only with this military power in his hands, could he have enough capital to protect him.
—He is always the sharpest knife in his hand.
Yi Lie took a deep breath, dissipated the inexplicable energy in his heart, and thought about the words he said on the bridge, that person, with that look in his eyes, told him to wait for him, His body felt a little warm.
There was a creaking sound in the ear, and Yan Lie had been paying attention to it. He sat up suddenly, and rushed to the source of the sound in two or three times. Under the night, the man was smiling, as gorgeous as a spring flower looking at him.
Yi Lie stepped forward in twos and twos, and hugged him horizontally.
"Farewell, Ah Lie!" The other party called out hastily, "I'll take you to a place."
Yi Lie's breathing was hot, but he put him down obediently.
Li Yuanmin stood still, and when something hard hit his stomach, his face blushed, and he hurriedly threw him a package.
Yi Lie opened it, and there was a human-skin mask and a set of costumes.
It was only then that he discovered that Li Yuanmin was wearing a black dress, which was rare today. He had a long body and a slender waist that was so tight that he could barely hold it.
His eyes darkened, and he changed according to him without even asking.
Looking at his completely different face, Li Yuanmin pulled the corner of his mouth lightly, took his hand, and quietly walked out of the courtyard door.
The two of them climbed up the high wall like naughty children. Yan Lie hugged Li Yuanmin's waist, jumped up and landed firmly on the flat ground outside the mansion.
A stray cat on the side of the road was startled, squeaked and fled into a dark corner.
In the corner of the wall, Yan Lie saw two tall horses snorting and snorting waiting there.
He looked down at Li Yuanmin. Li Yuanmin's eyes were shining. He just took his hand and walked towards the two horses.
During the curfew, there was no one on the street, and the horses of the two galloped on the bluestone road, which seemed a little harsh.
Soon, they came to the gate of the city. Li Yuanmin, who had changed his appearance, handed the gatekeeper a token and a document. The guard inspected it, went back to the guard room for verification, opened the small gate, and let the two go out of the city. up.
Late at night, the outskirts seem a bit colder than the capital, with the sound of horseshoes and the sound of wind.
Li Yuanmin took advantage of his status as the King of Guang'an for personal gain. He broke into his subordinate's room in the middle of the night, and smuggled him out like a frivolous disciple.
With the night wind blowing against his face, he felt refreshed all over his body. He hadn't been so presumptuous for a long time. He kicked the horse's belly hard, and the horse became faster and faster.
Yan Lie followed closely behind him.
The two wandered freely among the mountains and rivers in the suburbs.
I don't know how long they rode like this, until the two of them circled a clump of woods, their vision suddenly became brighter, and a mirror lake sparkled under the moonlight.
Li Yuanmin cheered, got off his horse, rushed forward a few steps, and stared at the front excitedly.
Yi Lie didn't know how he found such a place. It seemed that no one had visited before, and there was a quietness isolated from the world.
Li Yuanmin untied his face, took off his shoes and jacket, leaving only plain white clothes and trousers. He gasped for a moment, then pulled out the hairpin from his bun and shook his head. His black hair was like snow Generally scattered down.
He looked back at Yan Lie and smiled.
How to say that smile, Yan Lie can't use any words to describe it, his heart trembled, he just felt that under the night, the person in front of him was like a beautiful fairy in the dense forest.
He couldn't resist taking a few steps forward, but the other party was running towards the mirror lake with only bare white feet. Under the moonlight, the slender figure was like a dancing white butterfly, but there was a thud , he jumped into the lake.
Yi Lie's heart jumped to the throat, and his reason was instantly shattered into powder. He rushed a few steps and jumped down after him.
He anxiously searched for his figure in the deep black water. His waist tightened, but a person hugged his waist. He jumped up from his arms like a snake, and his lips were softly pressed by him. seal up.
Yi Lie's heart skipped a beat, and he hugged the person in his arms, deepening the sudden kiss.
By the time the two of them surfaced, Li Yuanmin had already lost any strength. He hugged Yan Lie's neck and panted violently, his forehead pressed against his forehead, giggling.
"Is it beautiful?" he asked him.
"beautiful."
Yi Lie answered in a hoarse voice, but she didn't know whether to answer the boundless scenery or the person in her arms.
In such a quiet environment, without worldly things, without any identity, just the two of them, Li Yuanmin can be desperate, but with one heart.
Under the moonlight, the two are like two happy fish, chasing and playing in the lake, like children who cannot grow up.
When the wet two people came up from the water, Li Yuanmin sat up on his knees. He looked at the tall young man lying on the grass, grabbed his hand, and ran towards the dense forest.
Surrounded by trees, a wooden house is hidden among them.
Li Yuan took a pissed off, and ran over with Yan Lie.
Like when they were thirteen years old, the two fled the capital, holding hands like this childishly, and going towards their future.
No, they have no future, only such unknown secrets.
Pushing open the door of the wooden house, the faint and elegant fragrance of wood came over. Li Yuanmin pulled the young man in, and locked the door with his backhand.
Running all the way made his chest rise and fall.
He raised his eyelashes like crow feathers, and looked at Yan Lie who was staring at him as before.
He raised his hand, put it on the already wet little coat, and pulled it lightly, and the tie loosened.
Wet and soft trampling piled on the feet.
He pulled the young man's rough palm and stuck it on his cold, smooth, snow-white and beautiful cheek.
"Ariel..." he called him, softly and frivolously, "Here, no one restrains us."
