There was a sound of the window lattice falling, and the black feather bird landed on the edge of the window of the medicine house, raised its head and chirped a few times.
Qin Zhao looked back, put the tea cup in front of Du Yue, walked over and took down the secret letter.
Du Yue put down the medicine list in his hand, stepped over the herbs hanging on the ground, leaned over and asked, "What is written?"
"The elder brother ordered to investigate the attitude of the courtiers who remained in the court toward the alliance with the Xiongnu." Qin Zhao folded the letter and put it away.
"Why don't you ask?" Du Yue said decisively, "I definitely can't let it go!"
Qin Zhao looked at him and nodded, "Senior brother also means the same."
Du Yue was stunned for a while, and then he guessed what Chu Mingyun believed in the original intention. He shyly withdrew his gaze, leaned over and put the medicinal herbs back into the box, Qin Zhao continued to help silently, a pair of sharp-boned hands that held a sword and a sword for many years, but was extremely skilled at classifying herbs.
Du Yue endured and endured, and finally couldn't help but said, "Hey, Qin Zhao, what do you think... What kind of person is Chu Mingyun?"
Qin Zhao didn't move, thought for a while, and then asked, "What do you think?"
"I think... I..." Du Yue scratched his head, "How many years have I been in friendship with the surnamed Chu? I thought I knew it before, but now I don't know it anymore."
"How?" Qin Zhao asked.
"That's right..." Du Yue sighed heavily, pulled over the stool and sat down, gritted his teeth and told Qin Zhao about Chu Mingyun's throwing the jade pendant earlier, "Don't say anything else, my cousin gave it so well and kindly. The jade, he just threw it away! When I was in Cangwu Mountain, I only thought that his character was really looking for a trick, but I haven't seen him for a few years. Seeing how ruthless he looks now, I really don't understand what he is thinking. what."
"Senior brother hasn't changed, it's always been like this." Qin Zhao said.
"Are you sure?" Du Yue looked suspicious.
"At that time, there were only three of us on the mountain except for the two masters. The elder brother was not wary of us, so of course you couldn't find it." Qin Zhao also sat down and said, "Since we went down the mountain, no matter what someone gave me, as long as it was unintended. , Brother Shi will destroy it without hesitation, and indeed avoid many disasters because of this."
"...That's it." Du Yue replied dully, after a long silence, he frowned and whispered, "Chu Mingyun... What is the origin of him?"
Qin Zhao shook his head.
"No way?!" Du Yue was surprised, "Even you don't know?!"
"Senior brother never mentioned it to anyone." Qin Zhao said, "And you were the first to stay on Cangwu Mountain?"
"Yes. At that time, Master Baili clearly stated that he would not accept apprentices, but when I came back from visiting relatives at home, I found that there was an extra Chu Mingyun. I asked the master what happened, and the master only said that he was Baili. The child of the master's old friend." Du Yue suddenly slapped the table and stood up, "By the way, I asked him when I first saw the surname Chu, but do you know how he got along with me?"
"what?"
"He said that he was actually a lone ghost and a wild ghost. He didn't die because of his obsession. The Cangwu Mountain was full of spiritual energy, and he was going to eat people after his cultivation!"
Qin Zhao looked at him, "Do you believe it?"
"I believe it." Du Yue said as a matter of course.
Qin Zhao silently looked away.
Du Yue continued: "I asked him if he had eaten people before, and he said he had. I've always been a little bit afraid of him because of this, and I can't change it now!"
Qin Zhao: "…"
"You can't blame me for believing it!" Du Yue hurriedly added, "Qin Zhao, it's not like you don't know, at first the surnamed Chu was cold and ignorant all day long. When I asked him about this, he sat there On the edge of the stone pool, there was white fog all around, and then he suddenly smiled at me, it's my first time, you don't know the look in his eyes at that time, it scared me to death!"
Qin Zhao sighed and said slowly, "I understand what you mean."
Looking back to this day, I still have lingering fears, Du Yue patted his chest and sat down, and then listened to Qin Zhao speak slowly: "Master obviously knows about Brother Shi, but he doesn't mention it. But Master drank on the night of Brother Shi's farewell. A lot of alcohol, and I said a few vague words when I was drunk."
"What did Master Baili say?" Du Yue asked.
Qin Zhao frowned, "I went to clean up the wine utensils that night, and the master suddenly sighed and said that the path that my brother chose was too hard. I asked why, and the master only told me..." He met Du Yue's expectant eyes, He lowered his eyes again, hesitantly said:
"He wants to change the whole world with his own power. If he can't achieve a great cause, he will surely die without a place to be buried."
Chu Mingyun stopped, raised his eyes and stared at the house where the lights came out of the window, faintly smearing the flower tree in the courtyard, the residual flowers were wet, and the light and shadow faded.
He walked up the stone steps and was about to raise his hand, but the door opened from the inside, caught Su Shiyu's gaze, Chu Mingyun didn't have time to recover, "How do you know I'm here?"
Su Shiyu smiled lightly, "I heard the footsteps of Lord Chu." He turned to let Chu Mingyun enter the room, "I just don't know what happened to Lord Chu?"
"I have something to ask." Chu Mingyun sat down and glanced at the desk at random, "What are you doing?"
"Just now, Lu Shangshu brought me the memorial of the Ministry of Punishment a few days ago. I just read a few pages." Su Shiyu poured a cup of tea, "What do you want to ask, Master Chu?"
"Does anyone often stare at your face?" Chu Mingyun thought for a while, then added, "Except me."
Su Shiyu couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, and seeing that he didn't mean to joke, he thought about it carefully, and said frankly: "Except for Master Chu, I didn't notice anyone else doing this."
"... Then when Master Su was in Huainan, there should be some waiters by his side from time to time?"
Su Shiyu nodded, "I'm not familiar with Huainan, so naturally there will be a waiter to guide me."
Chu Mingyun understood it, laughed inexplicably, and took the tea cup.
"What does Master Chu mean by asking this?" Su Shiyu asked in confusion.
"It's nothing," Chu Mingyun took a sip of tea, and then said again: "How is Mr. Su preparing for the matter of pushing the grace?"
"I have already drawn up the content of the regulations and presented them to His Majesty," Su Shiyu said. "I just want to implement it smoothly, in addition to the charges of rebellion against the Huainan King, it needs a prince to take the lead."
"It seems that Master Su has found a suitable candidate." Chu Mingyun looked at him.
Su Shiyu smiled, "The letter has been sent to King Xiling, and he will arrive shortly after we return to Chang'an."
"King of Xiling?" The fingertips were casually placed on the blue and white porcelain cup, Chu Mingyun pondered, "King of Xiling has some friendship with other vassal kings, it can be regarded as a bit of prestige, and it is the most stable one today, you have a good choice. ."
"Since Master Chu also said the same, it doesn't seem to be bad." Su Shiyu laughed, he looked at Chu Mingyun as if he had lost his words, and said slightly confused: "Master Chu, do you have anything else to ask? ?"
"Ask what?" Chu Mingyun raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "I asked if you would answer me, didn't you ignore me?"
"I didn't mean that." Su Shiyu narrowed his eyes and smiled softly, "Is there nothing that Master Chu wants to ask me about the Huns wanting to cede territory and form an alliance?"
Chu Mingyun rested his lower jaw with one hand and looked at him with a smile, "No."
Su Shiyu frowned slightly, "According to what Wei Shangshu said earlier, Master Chu's attitude was unusually tough at that time."
Chu Mingyun laughed casually, "There has always been a battle between martial arts masters, and Wen masters and harmony, what's so strange."
Su Shiyu looked at him, "But I'm also a civil servant."
"You are different."
"How is it different?"
Chu Mingyun met his gaze and smiled slowly: "It's different everywhere."
Su Shiyu couldn't answer for a while.
Chu Mingyun curled the corners of his lips, looked at him, suddenly remembered something, got up and took a step forward.
Suddenly getting too close, the sandalwood smells faintly, Su Shiyu takes a step back subconsciously, "What's wrong?"
"What are you hiding, I won't eat you." Chu Mingyun held his shoulders, his eyes fell on his face, "I suddenly wanted to try it out, if it was me... how would it feel."
Su Shiyu frowned for unknown reasons, but he really stopped moving.
Chu Mingyun approached slowly, his eyes turned into tangled strands covering Su Shiyu's brows, carefully taking his face into his eyes.
The slightly frowning brows only fell on the eyes of his own figure, and the faint smile on the corners of his pale lips.
Breath audible silence, breath palpable distance.
This is his sweetheart. The drooping eyes and smiles are full of elegance that cannot be concealed. The more clean and elegant, the more they evoke his deepest desire.
Want to touch, want to own.
A thirsty heat quietly grew, Chu Mingyun's eyes darkened, he got closer, and kissed Su Shiyu's palm.
"… "
Chu Mingyun raised his eyes and looked at the person who raised his hand to block him, the end of his eyes was raised, and he suddenly curved his eyes to reveal a provocative smile.
Su Shiyu's heart moved, and then a soft touch came from his palm, accompanied by a little tickling and commotion, he subconsciously retracted his hand, but was clasped by Chu Mingyun, and it was difficult to break free.
Su Shiyu's hands were warm and dry, and his five fingers were slender and articulated. Chu Mingyun kissed the palm of his hand, and traced along the lines of his palm with the tip of his tongue, and his breath was entangled in his fingers. All the way from the palm of the hand to the knuckle, Chu Mingyun slowly raised his eyes again, looking directly into Su Shiyu's eyes, full of smiles, he opened his mouth and bit his fingertips, and his tongue licked flexibly, which was reflected in Su Shiyu's eyes. Sudden bright red.
He bent his fingers unconsciously, pressing against Chu Mingyun's teeth. Chu Mingyun stared at him and blinked, a low smile pressed out of his throat, his teeth nibbled on his phalanx, and even the hand that was clasping his wrist rubbed restlessly.
He felt Su Shiyu's stagnation, and he saw that Su Shiyu's pupils were also plunged into chaos.
Chu Ming Yunsong opened his mouth and dropped the last kiss on the back of his hand, then pulled his hand to the side of his face, leaned slightly, and approached again.
The four eyes met, not for a moment, not for a blink of an eye, like a stalemate chess game, and a confrontational battle, no one looked away, and no one diddge.
The dripping sounds of the treetops under the eaves were extended extremely slowly. I could smell the soothing scent on his body, and feel his warmer temperature, and the corners of his lips were already rubbed together.
The sound of footsteps and the hurried knock on the door suddenly sounded, Su Shiyu suddenly backed away as if awakened by a thunderbolt, Chu Mingyun turned his head and scolded the door, "What are you arguing about in the middle of the night, you don't want to live anymore?"
The viciousness in the words shocked the people outside the door for a moment, and then said anxiously: "Sir, there is a big incident on Wei Shangshu's side. Your Majesty urgently summons you to the hall!"
