"Sir, there has just been news from Wang Fengyi of Hejian, that the general in the army has been dismissed and taken away the soldier's talisman. Xiang Guoyuanmin and Zhao Kejing, the general of the Chu Party who has just been transferred to the vicinity, are walking around quite frequently." , Su Yi replied in a deep voice.
Su Shiyu heard the implication, and remembered what Lan Yi mentioned before, 'things can't happen', and immediately guessed who Chu Mingyun was in the restaurant that day, and was silent for a while.
Su Yi continued: "In addition to the King of Hejian, there are also changes in the army of the other princes. We also accidentally got the news that the envoys of the King of Xiling secretly entered the capital and went to the Taiwei's mansion."
"By chance?" Su Shiyu looked at him.
Su Yi's gaze towards Su Shiyu made the word hard again, "Accidentally."
Su Shiyu understood, withdrew his gaze, and said after a pause: "It was designed by others that King Xiling's military power should be reluctantly given, and it is no wonder that he wants to use my strength to obstruct it."
"What do you mean, son?"
Su Shiyu pondered for a moment, "What he did was secret, neither the imperial court nor I could intervene, and even if he could interfere, how to deal with the military power would be a problem, and returning it to the princes would be contrary to the strategy of cutting down the vassal, and it would be nothing more than a return to the imperial court. Since the name is in his hands, it is better to wait and see what happens."
"Yes."
"Is there any difference between Master Yue and Master Xiang?" Su Shiyu asked.
"The people who sent it have been staring at it and found nothing wrong."
Su Shiyu nodded and said, "No hurry, just observe for a while."
Su Yi responded, seeing that Su Shiyu didn't mean to speak again, his expression was slightly condensed, and suddenly he said: "There are some words in my subordinates, please don't blame my son."
Su Shiyu smiled gently, "But it doesn't matter."
"My subordinates believe that although King Xiling has done great harm to the court, he is still too arrogant at the moment. To suppress the vassal king and allow the Chu party to run rampant, he is undoubtedly abandoning the big and seeking the small. The son has a far-reaching vision and should not make such a mistake. "
The smile on Su Shiyu's face faded.
Su Bai is devoted to his son, and he never mentions the matter of the son and Chu Taiwei to his own father, but Su Yi has been in the Su family for many years, and seeing the son grow up, he can naturally perceive something unusual." The son has always been upright and fair, and he should most understand that being disturbed by personal feelings is a taboo."
Su Shiyu was silent, Su Yi glanced at him, straightened his sleeves, stepped back and bowed down: "This subordinate has overstepped, and I am willing to be punished."
Seeing the middle-aged man kowtow, Su Shiyu smiled slowly, lifted him up with both hands, and said in a low voice, "I understand."
Su Yi stopped talking and left.
He stood alone in front of the window, his eyes closed and silent. In the blink of an eye, the sky was dark and there was no light in the study, it was dark. In the distance, Lan Yi was pulling Su Bai to hang lanterns on the corridor, and the lights were cast obliquely.
The door behind him creaked softly, as if it had been blown open by the wind, but it was obvious that he heard more breathing sounds, only a few steps behind him.
Su Shiyu's back stiffened, he was silent for a moment, and then slowly turned around.
On the night of the full moon, Yingying Yuehua, who fell to the ground behind the man, couldn't match his clear eyes. In the dark and blurred room, he quietly looked over.
Thousands of thoughts turned blank in an instant, and Su Shiyu forgot to speak under the sudden chaotic heartbeat.
Chu Mingyun just looked at him, smiled a little, and opened his mouth naturally: "Have you had dinner yet?"
"..." Su Shiyu didn't expect such a sentence, and was really stunned, "... Not yet."
"That's right," Chu Mingyun took his hand, "how about going out with me?"
Su Shiyu regained his senses, "Thank you Lord Chu for your kindness, but..."
"I'll change it with you." Chu Mingyun interrupted him and said in a low voice, "I'll take a question and change it with you. I will tell you what you want to ask in the courtroom and in the army, and I'll change it for you overnight."
"I… "
"I don't touch you, you accompany me to go out for a walk. Don't think about anything but me, just pretend you are still in Huainan." He said, "Can you?"
There was an irresistible toughness in his tone, and he squeezed his hand so hard that Su Shiyu's phalanx was slightly painful. Chu Mingyun just stared at him for a moment, but his frowning eyes were cautious and awkward. .
Su Yi's warning seemed to be still lingering in the room, Su Shiyu opened his mouth, too dry to make a sound.
It is a taboo to be disturbed by personal interests.
He understands better than anyone else.
But the longing that was firmly in the bottom of his heart whispered in these eyes, and the vines grew wildly, swallowing up his reason a little bit, swallowing it into deep love.
It seems that his lifelong ignorance has been exhausted on him alone.
For a long time, Su Shiyu lowered his eyes and calmed down, "Okay." He said again, "But you let go first..."
Chu Mingyun's patience only lasted until he heard the first word, and he took Su Shiyu and walked out. When he heard the sound, he just opened the door, looked back at the lights outside the corridor, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid you are gone again, how dare you let go ."
After leaving the mansion, Su Shiyu realized that Chu Mingyun's abrupt words were not just a casual question.
The two sat down in the restaurant, and Su Shiyu couldn't help but ask, "You haven't eaten so late yet?"
"Yeah." Chu Mingyun smiled and said, "I have more appetite for you."
The little Er at the table shook and couldn't help looking at them a few more times. Seeing that Chu Mingyun finished ordering the dishes, he hurriedly said: "Hey, two young masters, don't you want the Lantern Festival? Today is the Lantern Festival! On a good day of reunion, don’t eat a bowl of Lantern Festival to be festive and festive?”
"Also." Chu Mingyun nodded casually, he looked at Su Shiyu, and suddenly chuckled: "Is it a rare reunion for you and me tonight?"
Su Shiyu held the tea cup's hand for a while, then slowly tightened it, without answering.
Chu Mingyun's eyes dimmed slightly, and the smile on his lips disappeared, leaving no trace.
The atmosphere changed suddenly, Xiao Er didn't know what was wrong, and hurriedly slipped away. The two were relatively speechless, the dishes came one after another, and finally two bowls of Yuanxiao were served. The hot aroma, the snow-white and moist glutinous skin was wrapped in the filling of osmanthus sesame seeds, and the bowls were round and round.
Chu Mingyun suddenly turned his head to look out of the window. Su Shiyu followed his line of sight. In the distance, sky lanterns floated up into the night, floating over the pavilions and carved scorpions, and drifted across the long street of lights, like stars. Su Shiyu glanced down, ... and saw Su Bai and Lan Yi who were looking over from the crowd on the street. Apparently, Su Bai saw him being pulled out and was afraid that something might happen, and these two people were able to sneak up to now, obviously relying on Lan Yi, Su Shiyu suddenly felt helpless, got up and said, "I'll go call They go back…”
But Chu Mingyun grabbed his wrist. He was still looking out the window, but he couldn't see any expression.
"It's just outside the building." He didn't respond, Su Shiyu thought about it, and added: "Since I promised you, I won't leave without permission."
Only then did Chu Mingyun look at him, let go of his hand, and straighten his sleeves with the corners of his lips hooked, "I'll be waiting for you."
It took a lot of effort to make Su Bai and Lan Yi feel relieved. Looking at the back of the two of them arguing about where to go to play, Su Shiyu breathed a sigh of relief. After he stepped into the restaurant, he suddenly stopped and turned around. A shadow swept out from the building, and the black feather bird disappeared into the night, and it was Chu Mingyun who issued a secret order.
Su Shiyu stood there for a moment, lowered his eyes and laughed lightly, and continued to walk upstairs as if nothing had happened.
When Chu Mingyun saw him come back, his lips curled up silently, he finished his meal, and dragged him to hang out on the street.
Chang'an Street was already prosperous, but now it's even more lively. There are constant shouts and music along the street, lanterns all over the place, fireworks fill the sky, and there are so many tourists that they will not be noticeable when they are mixed in.
After walking silently for a while, Chu Mingyun said, "Have you decided what to ask about that question?"
Su Shiyu turned his head to look at him and said warmly, "Do you still have a headache later?"
Chu Mingyun froze for a moment, "What?"
With this reaction, Su Shiyu understood that he had completely forgotten after sobering up, and smiled lightly, "It's nothing."
"... Are you finished asking?" Chu Mingyun was a little surprised, "Is there anything else to ask?"
"No." Su Shiyu said, "If I want to know about the matter in the courtroom, I will naturally check it out. There is no need to ask."
Chu Mingyun sneered, "Is it unnecessary to ask, or do you simply not believe me?"
Su Shiyu shook his head, and asked with a smile, "Didn't you tell me to think about nothing but you?"
Chu Mingyun stopped abruptly and fell two steps behind. Not far away, fireworks blasted into the sky and exploded into the sky. There was a commotion in the crowd. He stared at Su Shiyu's back, and the two words trembled in his throat before barely speaking: "World Honor."
The voice was very light, as if he was afraid of waking up, and was drowned out by the noise of pedestrians, but Chu Mingyun was sure that Su Shiyu heard it, because he also stopped in response, paused for a moment, and turned around in the crowd.
Chu Mingyun stared at him, his eyebrows arched a little bit, he smiled, and then he stretched out his hand to him with his palm open.
Su Shiyu's eyes moved, but he frowned slightly, "There are so many people, you..."
"If you delay any longer, you will be surrounded by people for a while." Chu Mingyun didn't change his face.
Su Shiyu looked around, no one noticed at this time, he sighed helplessly, stepped forward and grabbed Chu Mingyun's hand, and was immediately held back by the other side, palms against each other, fingers clasped together.
There are many teenagers and young girls who pass by them, and take advantage of the rare festival to hold hands and look at the lights along the street.
The lights illuminate the night like day, the laughter is full of laughter, and the fragrance is floating. Chu Mingyun frowned, looked at Su Shiyu's profile, and couldn't help but said again: "Shiyu."
"Well." Su Shiyu pointed to the front, "Do you want to eat that?"
Chu Mingyun turned his head to look and saw that the hawker selling candied haws was surrounded by a group of children, smilingly dividing strings of bright red candied haws.
"..." Chu Mingyun said, "How old am I?"
Su Shiyu couldn't help laughing out loud, "Who was the one who had to wait for someone to pull him before he was willing to leave?"
Chu Mingyun shamelessly winked at him, his eyes widening.
Before I knew it, I had already swayed outside the city. The people who put up river lanterns and sky lanterns gathered here, reflecting the bright lights on the river beach, and the vendors selling lanterns were all eager to say hello. A guy came to a larger booth and saluted the two of them, "The two young masters are coming this way. They have already prepared as instructed, and I will wait for the two of you to come."
Two sky lanterns were brought up, different from the ordinary white ones placed by others. The lanterns were azure and painted with light ink. At a glance, you could tell that they were exquisite and specially made. Su Shiyu scrutinized it for a while, then smiled: "So well prepared, do you like putting on lights?"
"I like you." Chu Mingyun said without raising his eyes, took the pen that was going to be on the side and handed it to him, "Here."
There are still lanterns slowly rising around, people laughing and looking up, their eyes are filled with a bit of anticipation, as if the wishes carried on the lanterns can follow up to the sky, asking the gods if they may respond.
Chu Mingyun wrote very quickly, lit the candle in the lamp, raised his wrist to let the sky lantern float up, but looked at Su Shiyu, "Have you thought about it yet?"
He vaguely saw what had been written on the lamp, but Su Shiyu dipped the ink again, but suddenly he couldn't write. He was pulled back to his thoughts by Chu Mingyun's voice, smiled, and finally gave up adding anything and lit the sky lantern to fly.
Chu Mingyun watched the two eye-catching blue lamps drifting away, and seemed to ask casually, "What did you write?"
"Guotai and Min'an." Su Shiyu looked calm.
"..." Chu Mingyun was silent for a while, then smiled again: "Don't you ask me?"
"No need," Su Shiyu laughed, "Isn't that saying that the wish is ineffective?"
Chu Mingyun turned his head to look at him, his eyes were heavy, and he whispered: "If it works, I should really believe in gods and Buddhas." He glanced into the distance, and suddenly said, "Wait for me here. "I just let go of my hand and didn't take two steps, and then suddenly folded back and pressed Su Shiyu's shoulder, facing his slightly surprised expression, "You are not allowed to go anywhere, wait for me to come back, just for a while, I won't let you wait too long." Long."
The surprise faded from his jade-like face, and Su Shiyu smiled slowly, "Okay."
Chu Mingyun found Qin Zhao in a remote part of the river without much effort. With a blank face, he opened his mouth when he saw him: "Master, the secret order is not for you."
Chu Mingyun raised his chin at Du Yue who was buying candy beside him, "Didn't you just happen to pull that guy out."
"He had to follow after he heard that he wanted to stop his cousin's lamp." Qin Zhao said.
Chu Mingyun gave a meaningful 'oh', "No wonder you look like this."
Qin Zhao put the extinguished green lamp in his hand to him, "Keep your strength and sympathize with yourself."
Chu Mingyun lowered his eyes and looked at the lamp face over and over again, and Su Shiyu's words were only succinct: "One wish for Sheji Chang, and two for Li Minning." It’s really national peace and security.”
While speaking, Du Yue had come over and handed the lamp in his hand to him, "Hey, is this yours?"
Chu Mingyun took it, and it was more concise on paper: Su Shiyu. Only these three words.
"I thought you would write about revenge." Du Yue glanced at his face.
He lowered his eyes and rubbed the name with his fingertips, but didn't speak. Du Yue and Qin Zhao were speechless for a while, and the noisy river beach didn't seem to seep into the warm atmosphere. Until Chu Mingyun raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, he was about to drive people away with one hand, "Go away, don't come to me to make trouble."
Du Yue swallowed the urge to scold him, and immediately dragged Qin Zhao to the place where the boat was rented by the river. Halfway through, he suddenly thought of something, turned his head and rushed back to Chu Mingyun who was still there, "... Intuition," Du Yue breathed out, "Go and see what my cousin is doing! Go, go!"
Chu Mingyun was stunned for a moment, then thought of something, turned around and rushed to the place.
He saw him from a distance.
Su Shiyu stood in a corner of no one, with a slender figure, and the sky lanterns intertwined into a sea of warm colors around him. An ordinary but plain-colored sky lantern was lit in his hand, and it rose in a whirl. Seemingly aware of something, Su Shiyu suddenly turned his head and looked over. Thousands of lights illuminated his dark eyes, crowded with tourists, and his eyes only showed a figure coming through the crowd, with a gentle smile on his brows and eyes.
The whole world was very noisy, and it was silent for a moment. I could hear the murmur of the moonlight and the river, the faint songs of the towers, the cold bells of the distant mountains, and the sound of footsteps coming from far and near.
As soon as Chu Mingyun grabbed his arm, he looked up and saw that the lamp had already been mixed in the sea of lights rising from the sky, so he couldn't tell the difference.
"I didn't leave." Su Shiyu looked at him.
"What did you write?" Chu Mingyun pulled him closer.
Su Shiyu paused imperceptibly, then calmly said, "Guotai and Min'an."
"Then why do you need to write it twice?" Chu Mingyun frowned and stared at him, "What did you write?"
Su Shiyu was a little puzzled, and smiled: "It's just a lamp, why care so much."
Chu Mingyun didn't say a word, looked at him with deep eyes like the sea, and looked at each other. After a long time, he slowly approached.
Su Shiyu's breathing was slightly stagnant, and he didn't move. He felt his breathing was approaching, but Chu Mingyun suddenly stopped when he was about to touch, and said softly in a hoarse voice, "If you feel sick, you can avoid it. "
Being so close, I could feel the breath of every word, warm and numb.
His fingertips trembled suddenly, and Su Shiyu pulled him back into the shadow of the tree, silent for a moment, and slowly closed his eyes.
The next moment, the whole person was pressed against the tree, but Chu Mingyun still tried his best to restrain himself, for fear that the rough tree trunk would stab him. Even his face could not be seen clearly under the dark shadow of the tree. He leaned over and kissed Su Shiyu's forehead inch by inch. The eyebrows reached the corners of his eyes, and finally touched his lips. He sighed and kissed without hesitation. .
As if afraid of offending Su Shiyu, he suppressed his eagerness, kissed his lips softly and reverently, and then opened his teeth again, licking and entanglement.
The tourists gradually dispersed, and the boats in the river were even more silent. Numerous sky lanterns were blown by the wind, and the warm lights around the boat were reflected. Du Yue grabbed the edge of the boat and reached out to touch the floating sky lantern. A plain white lantern slowly approached, revealing a line of ink on it. Du Yue squinted his eyes to recognize, "Three wishes I love... Hey, this word is a bit familiar—ah Qin Zhao!"
Qin Zhao reacted quickly and retrieved Du Yue, who almost fell into the water. Du Yue took a step and fell directly into his arms. He raised his head and looked at Qin Zhao's nervous eyes. a moment.
Du Yue blinked, first regained his senses, and hurriedly moved away.
Qin Zhao was still frozen in place, Du Yue turned his head to look at him for a while, coughed, and hesitantly said, "Ah what, where are you pressing down on?"
Qin Zhao came back to his senses and shook his head, "No."
"Oh, that's it." Du Yue sat down honestly.
The sky lantern, which he stretched his hand to reach, swayed toward the moon in the sky.
One wishes for the prosperity of the society.
Second, I wish Li Minning.
Third, I wish my loved one to be safe and sound, and to live in peace every year.
