The sound of clappers has already sounded, ? floating quietly in the empty long street, the night is already very deep.
The veil engulfed the candle, leaving only an ambiguous warm color? A moth from nowhere danced on the candle, and was suddenly caught in the flames. The light and shadow in the room flickered for a while, and then silently returned to silence.
Yi Lie stood up naked,?He was wearing clothes with a blank face, and was about to put on his shoes,?He was about to stride out,?The people behind him called him softly.
Yi Lie wanted to ignore it, but Xu Shi's "A Lie" sounded too fragile, so he couldn't help frowning and turning around.
The man was naked and sweat-stained, mottled marks can be seen everywhere, the flush on his face has quickly receded,? Yan Li's face looked extremely pale under the candle,? Yan Lie couldn't help frowning Head—it wasn’t like this in the past. Every time he pulled away from his body, his gorgeousness had reached its peak. Flushing, against white, dripping with water, eyes wet, anger Resentment, but also looking at him tenderly, so beautiful that people can't hide their eyes. But now he is just like a lotus plant that has been crippled by the heavy rain, its petals are ridiculed, and it is lifeless.
Yi Lie suffocated almost inaudibly in his heart.
But seeing the person in front of him panting lightly, struggling to prop up his upper body, his black hair slipping from his shoulders, like willows supporting the wind, he raised his dark eyes that were rippling with water, and looked at him longingly.
Yi Lie's Adam's apple twitched, thinking to himself, let's just stay, stay tonight, if he cries again, then talk to him softly, it's nothing, I'll always give him some time , It's just to make him lose face a few times, what's the matter, after all, he is the one who likes it.
He walked slowly, the aroma of the room lingered at the tip of his nose. It took him an hour to make it for him. He thought that he could sleep well again tonight, and he wanted to sleep against his skin. He was not allowed to hide, and he was not allowed to wear those clothes, so she pressed against him warmly, and maybe let him hug her neck, two people, a quilt, fragrance, snow meat, tenderness, all belong to him.
But the person in front of him weakly tore up his fantasy.
"Eight years... don't you remember?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he seemed to suddenly have a slight hope, his eyes were red, and he said cautiously: "Don't you remember anything?"
Yi Lie's footsteps stopped suddenly, his face was livid.
What he asked was "he", that in his heart, he could never compare with the eighteen-year-old "he".
He seemed to have been punched hard in the face, staring at his eyes, which made him furious and embarrassing, and made him want to step forward and twist his neck—no one had ever given him such a humiliation.
His teeth were clenched, and the cold-blooded and cruel words were already on his lips.
He thought, he would destroy him, with the most vicious words, with the most desperate actions.
However, the person in front of him still didn't feel his danger, and only opened his lips slightly, looking at him like a cub. There was only a little light on the dead face, just a little bit, as if everything depended on his answer.
Yi Lie's eyes were horrified, sometimes icy, sometimes burning.
The viciousness in those mouths turned a few times, and finally swallowed it, and walked away.
***
Cao Gang has gradually noticed Yan Lie's intentional change recently.
He became more sophisticated and ruthless in his work, and gradually broke away from the style of the past, which still had some leeway, as if he was trying to get rid of the shadow of the original eighteen-year-old youth.
After Xue Zaixing's death, Li Yuanqian took the opportunity to weaken the power of the Governor's Mansion. The defenders of Lingnan, Western Yunnan, and Guangdong and Guangxi counties were no longer under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Mansion. The power of the Governor's Mansion was dispersed among the three armies. However, Li Yuanqian's actions were just in line with Ye Lie's appetite. Since New Year's Eve, he has vigorously rectified military affairs and reformed the military system. Advancement is never based on birth, but on military merit. He was from the Han nationality.
Cao Gang saw the great ambition in the eyes of their coach who became more and more familiar.
The reason why the Red Tiger King's million-strong army in his previous life was able to pacify the world from the Eight Kings Rebellion was because of the fighting power selected by the Han clan.
Bei'an puts more emphasis on literature than martial arts. Sima Ji, the Marquis of Zhenbei who controls half of the army in Bei'an, is also a first-rank marquis inherited from his ancestral shadow, not military merit.
Being an official is naturally the best choice for the people of Bei'an. However, compared with ordinary people, the children of the aristocratic family have more than a little advantage on the road of becoming an official. On this road, it is absolutely impossible for the children of the Han clan to stand out. Relatively fair scientific examinations also have extremely strict restrictions on identities. The number of Han children participating in the scientific examinations is still less than 10% of the total number of those years. Therefore, if ordinary people want to get ahead, they can only rely on the military There is one way, but no matter what, the opportunities for the children of the aristocratic families in the army are always more than those of the Han nationality.
In the last life, this situation was alleviated after the Scarlet Tiger King ascended the throne. He lay dormant for several years. The reforms have injected vitality into the new dynasty, talents have emerged in large numbers, and people's livelihood has gradually improved. The new dynasty has restored the heyday of the previous dynasty in just ten years, and no one in the world thinks about the former dynasty anymore.
It can be said that the Red Tiger King is indeed a wise king among tyrants. Although he committed heinous murders, he also created an inexhaustible achievement in a peaceful and prosperous age. He has accomplished himself and Cao Gang.
So, no matter what, Cao Gang will absolutely obey his wishes, no matter in the previous life or in this life.
The blood in Cao Gang's heart was burning again.
In the brightly lit camp, after Yan Lie explained everything, everyone left together.
Cao Gang was about to retreat, but was stopped by Yan Lie: "Is there any change in the capital?"
Cao Gang shook his head and nodded softly: "My lord, don't worry, Old General Li is watching over there."
Yi Lie nodded, eyes narrowed slightly: "Resurrection for no reason, if there is something else about such strange powers and chaos, it will be tricky. Be sure to send more people to keep an eye on it. The report will be changed every ten days. Report every three days, don't neglect it!"
Cao Gang took the order and went down immediately.
The camp finally became quiet. Yan Lie let out a long breath, leaned back on the chair, and rubbed his brows. After a long while, he suddenly got up and went to the stable.
In less than three sticks of incense, he returned to the Guang'an Palace. At this time, it was already dark, and the servants were holding candles and lighting lamps everywhere.
Yi Lie threw the reins to the groom as usual, and went to the inner courtyard by himself.
Just entering the door, a servant woman with a simple face was full of respect and blessed him: "My lord, Your Highness has already eaten, and he is in the room now."
Songzhu, who was originally serving in the main courtyard, was transferred to a nearby courtyard. The servants in the main courtyard were all replaced by Yan Lie. Therefore, this big move did not arouse the doubts of others.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw the man staring at the candle light, wondering what he was thinking.
The candlelight shone on his snow-colored cheeks, which was really amazing.
Yi Lie took off his cloak, threw it aside casually, stepped forward, picked him up by the waist, and put him on the bed.
A piece of jade slipped out of his chest, Yan Lie's eyes froze slightly, knowing that it was his mother's relic, and was about to take it for a closer look, but saw the other party gently grasping it in the palm of his hand, looking very cherished, This appearance softened Yan Lie's cold heart inexplicably, he bent down and sniffed his cheek, then his lips, and finally blocked his lips gently.
The dark red lips were closed, and there was no response at all.
This kind of reaction was originally expected by him, but for some reason, he couldn't help it today. The softness in his heart disappeared without bounds, replaced by a monstrous anger.
He separated half an inch, grabbed his chin, his eyes were piercing, and he said each word with the initials coldly: "Open."
The people under him just looked at him dully, with a little redness at the end of their eyes.
After a while, he moved slightly, raised his feet, and opened his legs towards him, but his bright red lips were still tightly closed.
Yi Lie suddenly turned cold.
The author has something to say: It's finally early today, thank you everyone.
