The cracks on the stone wall spread from one point to all around, and after a few muffled sounds, the stone collapsed, and a narrow corridor appeared after the ground was broken. Su Shiyu's fingers flickered a little, and it was hidden in his sleeves in a blink of an eye, but it was enough for Chu Mingyun to see it clearly. He took the candle on the wall and turned around to greet Chu Mingyun to get up.
Chu Mingyun stood up while trying to move his shoulders, and couldn't help but sighed that Su Shiyu's dressing quality was excellent. His eyes stopped on Su Shiyu's sleeve, and he suddenly said, "With Mr. Su's inner strength, it was impossible not to find that the guard was hiding behind the corner, right?"
Su Shiyu smiled and said frankly, "Yes."
"Then what's your plan for not dismantling it for a long time?"
Su Shiyu shook his head, and said with a light smile: "What ideas are you talking about are empty words now, what else is there to mention."
He made too few shots, Chu Mingyun couldn't see the depth of his martial arts, and he was more familiar with how to deal with it in his words. Chu Mingyun thought about it and said, "I'm bored on the road, how about a few words with me, Master Su?"
Su Shiyu looked at the corridor by the light, ignoring his boredom on the way.
Chu Mingyun covered his shoulders and leaned against the stone wall, "Ah... the wound hurts so much."
Su Shiyu turned his head and looked at him from head to toe before he said, "Master Chu... is this... implying me to hug you?"
"That's not necessary," Chu Mingyun said. "You can chat with me." Before Su Shiyu could speak, he added, "It probably won't hurt too much if you distract me."
Su Shiyu looked at him, "Master Chu, what do you think we can talk about?"
Chu Mingyun smiled and said, "Why don't you do this, you and I will take turns to ask each other questions."
"..." Su Shiyu sighed, "If the other party doesn't tell the truth, what's the point?"
"That's why it's just to solve the boredom," Chu Mingyun walked beside him and said slowly, "Can you tell the truth from the false, it's up to you, and besides, if the other party is lying, doesn't it mean that he is avoiding the problem?" He Eyes fluctuated, staring at Su Shiyu with a half-truth smile.
Su Shiyu sighed helplessly again, and walked into the corridor, "Ask if you want."
Chu Mingyun followed him and said, "Master Su looks so gentle, but I didn't expect to be so secretive. Since you always carry your Hidden Sword with you, why have you never heard that you know martial arts?"
The lights were like beans, only illuminating a stone road underfoot, and only a low voice could be heard in the narrow space. They were so close together that Su Shiyu could almost feel the warm breath of the people behind him in his ears. He turned his head uncomfortably before saying, "It's not as complicated as you think, but it's just a habit that has been developed over the years."
"I fought with my father when I was fifteen." Su Shiyu said.
Chu Mingyun looked at his profile in astonishment. Su Shiyu's face seemed to have a nostalgic look on his face, and it was more complicated. The light in the corridor was too dark, and his expression was fleeting, too late to see the real thing.
Su Shiyu continued lightly: "After that, he strictly forbade me to do anything with others, and wanted me to be a civil servant. At that time, Chang'an City was not as chaotic as it is now, and I was young and vigorous at the time, so it was inevitable to do something. Because of this, my father ordered me to wear white clothes to keep me in check, and every time I was found I would go to the ancestral hall to be punished for kneeling, and the more I knelt, I learned to hide the hidden sword to hide the traces from him, and I escaped a lot of punishment.”
"It's really surprising." Chu Mingyun glanced at Su Shiyu's face illuminated by the firelight, "You were so much cuter when you were a child than you are now."
Su Shiyu smiled without comment for this evaluation.
"Why did your father forbid you to do it?" he asked.
Su Shiyu looked back at him and smiled, "This is the second question."
Chu Mingyun raised his hand indifferently and made a gesture of invitation. Su Shiyu calmly retracted his gaze and said, "I've always been a little strange. With Mr. Chu's current status, why didn't he bring his family to live with him?"
Chu Mingyun's face changed suddenly, and his eyes cut through Su Shiyu's face like a blade. Seeing that his expression was still indifferent, he calmed down and said lightly: "I am an orphan picked up by the master, where is my family from."
Su Shiyu nodded and only said sorry.
He still remembered the first time he saw Chu Mingyun. In Beijing, the reputation of the young man who did not know where he came from when he fought against the Xiongnu in Daxia has long been spread all over the country. The young general above the hall stepped in casually, allowing hundreds of courtiers to look at him with astonished eyes, with a casual smile on his face, but he always showed the gloomy indifference between his brows when everyone was inadvertent.
At that time, Su Shiyu's father was still alive, and the general Su Jue looked at him for a long time and said to Su Shiyu: "This person is definitely not in the pool."
Su Shiyu took this seriously, and after he went down to court, he sent someone to investigate his origin, and it took several years to find out:
The Chu family in Liangzhou is one of the richest, and it belongs to the famous family. When the Huns slaughtered countless cities in the south, the Chu family was naturally unable to escape, but they did not know how he survived. Only people say that they have seen a bloody boy kneeling in front of the gate of the Sword Saint on a cold winter night. His brows and eyes are very similar to the now arrogant and unruly Captain Chu.
It seems that he really does not like this question.
"It's my turn, it's the same question just now, why didn't your father let you do it?" Chu Mingyun said.
Su Shiyu came back to his senses, raised the lamp slightly so that they could see each other's faces clearly, and then he smiled slightly: "Probably... I don't like my killing style."
Chu Mingyun was stunned for a moment, and before he had time to carefully appreciate the meaning of his words, he heard Su Shiyu say, "It's here."
They stopped, Su Shiyu looked back at Chu Mingyun, handed over the lamp, and pressed the stone door with both hands to slowly open it. The dull sound of smashing stones sounded, and the light penetrated into a line, and then flowed in as the gap became larger and larger, and they couldn't help but close their eyes to adapt.
When I opened my eyes, my vision was clear. The quaint room, the paulownia wood shelf, and the yellow scrolls and blue lights turned out to be a study. Chu Mingyun and Su Shiyu walked out. Looking back, they found that the back of the Shimen was disguised as a row of bookshelves. As soon as they were closed, there was no trace.
Chu Mingyun looked at it slowly for a week, looked back at Su Shiyu and smiled: "Let's go, go and have a good chat with Song Heng."
Exiting from the study, walking down the corridor is the atrium. The moon is in the middle of the sky, the music has stopped, they have been tossing in the dungeon for so long, the banquet above has been scattered, and the maids bow their heads to pack the saucers, and their footsteps come and go in a hurry.
Su Shiyu stopped one and asked with a smile, "Girl, where is your master now?"
The maid was still young, looked at him tremblingly, and hurriedly lowered her head and shook her head: "I don't know."
"Then when does the banquet end?"
The maid trembled even more, "Just before a cup of tea," she said almost pleadingly, "The maid is just a chorus, please don't ask again, sir."
Su Shiyu narrowed his eyes slightly, let her go, and turned to look at Chu Mingyun. Chu Mingyun tilted his head to the right, "I heard a voice from here just now."
On the right is a small forest, with sparse flowers and trees, shadows of trees, and the moon shines on gardenia flowers and snow. Sure enough someone was there.
"This one? Or this one?" Tan Jing nodded his gardenia and asked back, the woman in the skirt behind him looked at him with a smile and didn't answer, but he nodded as if he heard something, "Then listen to you. ." Broken a branch of white snow flawless and handed it to the woman's hand.
The Minister of Works, Tan Jing, patted the dust on his clothes, looked up at the two people who were walking towards him, and hurriedly bowed, "Master Chu, Master Su."
Before Chu Mingyun and Su Shiyu approached, the woman hurriedly shrank behind Tan Jing, only showing a small half of her delicate face, and looked at them timidly. Tan Jing turned back and held her hand, and said softly, "Axiu, don't be afraid." Axiu clenched Tan Jing's hand tightly, lowered her head and dared not look at anyone again.
Tan Jing said apologetically to them: "My wife is afraid of people, and I also ask the two adults not to take offense."
"It's okay." Su Shiyu smiled.
"Where is Song Heng?" Chu Mingyun said straight to the point.
"I don't know." Tan Jing shook his head, "It's probably an emergency. A servant just came to report something to Song Heng. He looked a little flustered and apologized to us and broke up the banquet. My wife doesn't go out often, and seeing the novelty here, I asked him if he could stroll around here, and he hurriedly answered and left." He thought for a while, then raised his hand and pointed to a place, "It seems to be going in that direction, if the two adults have something important to do Look for him and go have a look."
What Tan Jing was referring to was the study room, which was empty when Chu Mingyun and Su Shiyu came out.
Chu Mingyun raised his lips and smiled slowly, "No, I just want to say hello to him, it's nothing important." He looked back at Su Shiyu, "It's a pity, it seems that I won't be able to see you tonight. ."
Su Shiyu smiled and said nothing.
Since the other party had already run away, they left with Tan Jingdao. The night outside the mansion was dark, the lights were dim, and only a few cars and horses were left.
"Chu Mingyun." Su Shiyu suddenly said from behind.
Chu Mingyun stopped in response, tilted his head slightly and looked over, the lights reflected in the corners of his brows and eyes, he whispered: "Huh?"
Su Shiyu hesitated for a while, his eyes fell to the side, his tone was still steady, "In the end, you saved me once, ... Please don't do this again in the future, so that Su will not be unable to take care of himself."
Chu Mingyun let out a long 'oh', and said with an inaudible smile, "It seems that it's too embarrassing to thank a person like me, a loyal and good-looking Lord Su."
Su Shiyu was silent for a moment, "Su is very grateful. If you need anything other than official business in the future, it's natural for me to help you."
The brows hidden in the heavy lights and shadows were filled with coldness, Chu Mingyun raised his hand and pressed the wound on his shoulder, suddenly turned around, and smiled, "The situation is just right, I don't think we have to wait for the future."
He nodded to his face and smiled terribly, "You kiss me, and we will not owe each other from now on."
"..." Su Shiyu frowned slightly, watching him not move.
Chu Mingyun took a breath, covered his shoulders, lowered his eyebrows and looked like he was about to cry, "Hush—the wound hurts."
"... Master Chu."
"It seems to be a bone injury, alas really..."
"...Chu Mingyun." Su Shiyu interrupted him.
Chu Mingyun raised his eyes and peeked at him. After all, he didn't hold back his expression and laughed out loud. He resisted the trembling of his shoulders, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, don't make trouble." After a while, he smiled slowly. "You give me a smile and you'll pay it off. But I don't want that fake smile that you hang all day long, like..." He thought about how to describe it, "It's like when you laughed at Du Yue stupidly before. Like that, a real smile is not difficult, right?"
"...I never laughed at him being stupid." Su Shiyu corrected, looking at Chu Mingyun, he was surprised to find that the other party's expression was quite serious.
Su Shiyu watched Chu Mingyun for a long time after a few steps away. When his eyebrows were soft, he seemed to be pampered. He slowly curved the corners of his lips, and there was a pool of tenderness and warmth in his pupils.
Chu Mingyun lost his mind for a moment, the light of the house lamp streamed from behind the other party, and fell into his palm through the night, as if bringing a trace of warmth.
"You seem to be different from what I thought before." Su Shiyu said.
Chu Mingyun raised his eyebrows lightly when he heard the words: "This doesn't sound like a compliment."
"Will it be?" Su Shiyu smiled. He glanced at the carriages and horses waiting beside him, "It's getting dark, Su must leave first."
Qin Zhao had been standing beside the carriage for a long time, and when he saw Chu Mingyun approaching, he greeted him, "What's going on?"
Chu Mingyun said a few words in a few words, Qin Zhao was speechless for a long time, his always expressionless face tried hard for a long time but failed to show him a complex expression, so he could only ask: "Senior brother, you hurt your shoulder, Or head?"
Chu Mingyun leaned against the cushion and gave him a blank look back.
"Do you really have that kind of heart for him?" Qin Zhao asked.
"Is it possible?" Chu Mingyun sneered, adjusted his posture and raised his eyes to look at him, "Who do you think Su Shiyu is? Saying that he would allow me to do something is mostly a test. I took an arrow to change him to let go of his guard, but It can't be wasted like that."
"Then what conclusion did you draw from this request?" Qin Zhao asked.
Chu Mingyun looked at the dark night outside the car window, and said slowly after a long while, "I find that he looks really good when he smiles like that."
"… "
