Chang'an is not far from Fufeng County. Chu Mingyun and Su Shiyu are not people who like extravagance, and they have no heavy luggage to bring, so after briefly explaining the affairs of the DPRK and China to their subordinate officials, they put on their regular clothes and left the city lightly one by one. They walked very fast, passed the Tangtang River, and passed through the lonely and lonely mountains. When the night fell, they saw the shadow of an inn, and they could enter Fufeng County tomorrow.
On the occasion of mid-autumn, it is the time when the traveler's son returns to his hometown. The inn was brightly lit, and the conversation was lively with the voices of people. Xiao Er was very happy as he shuttled between the tables. When he saw the two who entered the shop, they rushed up. After hearing that he was going to stay in the store, the little Er wiped his forehead with the sweat towel on his shoulder, wondering: "Two guest officers, you have also seen that there are many people staying in the store today, we only have one left here. It's time to go to the room..." His eyes wandered between Chu Mingyun and Su Shiyu, and he asked, "That room is quite big. Since the two guest officers are both men, if you don't mind... can you squeeze it?"
When you are away from home, be prepared for the lack of vacancies in the hotel. Since sleeping in the rough is also about facing that face all night, do they still have a choice
The room was fully furnished, Chu Mingyun and Su Shiyu stared at the bed for a while, but finally Chu Mingyun broke the silence, "Forget it, I'll just sleep on the ground at night."
Su Shiyu frowned slightly, "You don't need to use the way you treat girls on me. You and I have equal identities. What kind of decency does it make for you to sleep on the ground?"
Chu Mingyun sat at the table, Gu Zi added a cup of tea, squinted from the corner of his eyes, and said with a half-smile: "Doctor Censor oversees hundreds of officials, but I have never heard of anyone who wants to be overseen on the bed. I won't tell others, and Who would know such trivial matters?"
Su Shiyu looked at him sideways, "The etiquette is like this, even if no one knows it, it cannot be overstepped and trampled."
"...Why do I think there is something in your words?" Chu Mingyun, who has always been oblivious to etiquette, asked rhetorically.
"yes?"
"Yes."
"..." Su Shiyu glanced at him and smiled lightly: "Master Chu is too careless." After a pause, he said, "No matter what the etiquette is, Master Chu is now under suspicion, and if there is another unfortunate murder case tonight , without me to testify, I'm afraid you will have a hard time."
Lightly touching the wooden table with his fingertips, Chu Mingyun supported his chin and said with a slow laugh, "Oh? Are you worried about me running away in the middle of the night?" Said: "Then you- aren't you worried about what I did to you in the middle of the night?"
"If Master Chu really thought that I would be slaughtered." Su Shiyu laughed.
Chu Mingyun retracted his gaze, spread out his hands and turned a bit innocent, "I don't think I have a bad reputation, and I'm afraid that it will hurt Master Su? It's rare for me to think about you like this, but you don't appreciate it."
Hearing this, Su Shiyu nodded in agreement, looked up at the roof beam, smiled gently, "Since Mr. Chu has good intentions, I will be disrespectful. However, I am afraid that I will trouble Mr. Chu to sleep on it. lest I accidentally step on you when I get up to drink tea at night."
"... Master Su has the habit of getting up in the middle of the night to drink tea?"
Su Shiyu glanced at him with a smile, "Not before, maybe tonight."
"..." Chu Mingyun spread out his fan with a swipe to cover his face, held the front of his shirt in one hand, and sighed: "I didn't expect Master Su to insist on sleeping with me for the night, so I'll follow you."
"..." Su Shiyu said, "Go downstairs for dinner."
The guests downstairs were a little rarer than when they came, and they were no longer so noisy. Xiao Er finished the meal and left, yawning, and there was only the sound of cups in the inn.
Chu Mingyun suddenly thought of something, swallowed his tea, and said, "By the way, what does Su Xing, who takes over as You Fufeng, have anything to do with you?"
"It's my uncle." Su Shiyu said.
"Uncle?"
"Yes," Su Shiyu said, "my father is the oldest, followed by my uncle, and Du Yue's mother is the youngest."
"But how do I remember that it was your father Su Jue's idea to demote Su Xing out of Beijing back then?" Chu Mingyun asked.
"That's true," Su Shiyu pondered, "but I still don't know exactly why. I only know that my father and uncle had some conflicts later. After that, my uncle was far away in Zhenjiang, and I rarely communicated in these years. He passed away due to illness, and he was unable to come, but asked his aunt to bring the sacrificial text."
Chu Mingyun couldn't comment on other people's family affairs, so he nodded and said no more.
The night was getting darker, the inn was completely quiet, Chu Mingyun and Su Shiyu also stood quietly beside the bed for a long time, no one moved.
Although I made a decision and made preparations about sleeping in the same bed, I still felt uncomfortable at this time. After being silent for a long time, Chu Mingyun finally opened his mouth again. He pointed to the bed, "Master Su thinks... how should it be distributed?"
Su Shiyu withdrew his gaze and said as calmly as possible: "How to squeeze a bed with others in the past can be done like that now, why should you care too much."
"But I've only slept with women in the past," Chu Mingyun laughed. "They usually get into my arms, so Master Su, you...?" Somewhat meaningful.
"..." Su Shiyu gave him a deep look, then turned his eyes and sighed, raising his hand to draw a line out of thin air, "I always wake up early, you should sleep in it."
Chu Mingyun responded with no objection.
Thinking that they have been enemies for many years, they haven't said a few words for many years, and now they are actually in the same room, taking their crowns and distributing their clothes and taking off their belts, it can be seen that the world is really fickle and wonderful.
But after taking off the robe, it was difficult to proceed to the next step. Chu Mingyun and Su Shiyu looked at each other silently, blew out the lights, and lay down with their clothes on. Unspeakable embarrassment enveloped the room.
It has always been difficult for Chu Mingyun to fall asleep peacefully, not to mention that there are more people beside him now, and I don't know how long it has passed, but his mind is still clear. Lying down for a while, Chu Mingyun wanted to get up quietly without disturbing Su Shiyu, but Fang Youmo suddenly smelled a faint aroma.
A little light and gentle breath lingered on the tip of his nose, like a silent flower blooming in the night. Chu Mingyun leaned a little closer to Su Shiyu's direction, and sure enough, he smelled a clearer smell, calm and soothing his mind, still warm and warm in this cold night, slowly immersing in the night.
Chu Mingyun lay back, leaning on his arm, and his eyes naturally fell on Su Shiyu's face.
The moon went up the building, the light leaked into Qihu, and a layer of silver-white frost fell on the edge of the bed. Su Shiyu lay beside him with his eyes closed, his breathing was gentle, his eyelashes were slightly dyed with moonlight, and a small shadow fell on his face. His eyebrows were gentle and peaceful like he had never seen before.
He stared straight at Su Shiyu in a trance, suddenly raised his hand silently, bent his fingers in a sharp arc, and slowly probed towards Su Shiyu's neck.
A perfect opportunity to let this person die silently and not be noticed by anyone, as long as people think that he was assassinated like the five people, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter, he is lying here now, defenseless...
- Unsuspecting
Chu Mingyun's movements stopped, and only an inch could grab Su Shiyu's neck.
Su Shiyu's breathing was still steady, and there was no change in reaction. Chu Mingyun narrowed his eyes slightly, then pulled the corners of his lips lightly, relaxed his fingers and turned to rest on his smooth forehead, brushing a few strands of messy hair to the side of his face. Chu Mingyun retracted his hand and looked at it for a moment, then rolled over and closed his eyes to sleep.
It wasn't until there was no movement from him that Su Shiyu opened his eyes. He raised his hand and pressed his forehead, and glanced sideways at Chu Mingyun in confusion.
When he woke up the next day, it was already empty beside him, Chu Mingyun was stunned for a while, and unexpectedly found that he slept well last night, and I don't know if it was because of the soothing fragrance beside him. He got up slowly and leisurely, went downstairs and had dinner with Su Shiyu, who was the same as Su Shiyu, and then went on the road non-stop.
These few days can be regarded as autumn and fresh, and the sky is blue, but it is a little cold. They finally arrived in Fufeng County before noon. After receiving the news of entering the city, Right Fufeng Su Xing led someone to greet him in front of the government office. Seeing Su Shiyu from a distance, he quickly walked over with a smile on his face.
Su Shiyu dismounted, turned around and bowed to Su Xing, smiling, "Uncle."
"Hey, good." Su Xing patted him on the shoulder, frowning suddenly, "Yu'er, I haven't seen you for all these years, why have you lost so much?"
"Probably busy occasionally, but I don't think so much myself." Su Shiyu smiled and gestured sideways, "That's Taiwei Chu Mingyun, who came to investigate the case with me this time, and my uncle should have met a few times. of."
Su Xing looked over and greeted him in a normal manner.
Someone had already led their horses, and the yamen led them to the residence in the inner courtyard. Su Xing pulled Su Shiyu two steps behind, and continued the previous topic: "I just don't know how to take care of myself. My uncle has always heard people say that in Zhenjiang, there is no one around you who can take care of you."
When relatives and friends in Chang'an asked each other, they all said that I was not married yet.
Su Shiyu smiled lightly and said, "I'm bothering my uncle to worry about me, I..."
"Don't do this," Su Xing interrupted him. "If you want to find this condition, you can choose any girl in Chang'an. Just tell me the truth, what do you think?"
Su Shiyu sighed and said, "The situation in the DPRK is not stable, and my nephew has no intention of being distracted by it. Besides, this can avoid the burden of having a family, and it is always a matter of doing things alone..."
"Bullshit!"
"..." Su Shiyu was silent.
"It's safe to be a family," Su Xing hated a bit, "Yu'er, you are older than those children of the same generation, but now everyone else has three or four children, and you have nothing left. Position."
Su Shiyu was silent for a moment, looked at Chu Mingyun's back in front of him, and tried to explain: "Why should my uncle care too much, I am not the only one in Beijing. Taiwei Chu also holds a high position and has no children yet."
Chu Mingyun knew how Su Xing was, and when he heard the words, he glanced at him disdainfully and said, "As far as his character is concerned, he should be cut off from his sons and grandsons."
"..." Chu Mingyun, who was walking in front, said that he heard everything, so he paused, turned around unhurriedly, looked at Su Shiyu with a smile on his face, and said softly, "Why are you walking so slowly, yes Did I get tired of tossing you last night? Would you like me to hug you?"
Except for the two of them, everyone present suddenly had an expression of being struck by lightning.
Su Shiyu stared at him with a deep smile, "Master Chu."
Chu Mingyun smiled at him and turned back to move forward with peace of mind.
Su Shiyu turned his face to face the shocked Su Xing, and said helplessly, "Please don't take it seriously, uncle."
"You... he... " Su Xing pointed with trembling hands, speechless.
Su Shiyu sighed and said flatly, "Uncle thinks whether I should trust me or him?"
"...Oh." Su Xing calmed down with difficulty, forgot what he wanted to say before, opened his mouth a few times, and said, "Forget it, I won't bother you anymore, just be careful. I'm here this time. When I was in office, I saw your aunt when I passed by Jinling. She said that your mourning period is almost over a year. Since Du Yue is also in Chang'an, if you drag it on, she will come to take care of it for you in person, and by the way, you will be able to see your son. ."
Su Shiyu was stunned, "Did your aunt really say that?"
Su Xing glanced at him with a smile, "Every word is your aunt's original words, please weigh it yourself."
Su Shiyu nodded, his eyes narrowed.
