As night fell, the mighty march came to the towns bordering Baidi City, and they set up camp in an open area outside the suburbs, and temporarily settled down to rest.
A bonfire was lit all around, and the dry wood was "crackling" burning in the fire, which made people feel inexplicably comfortable and peaceful.
After working for many days, Li Changtian couldn't help feeling tired and exhausted. He unfolded the blanket Yan Shu gave him, covered his body, and lay down to rest with his arms folded.
After all, the prison cart was just a prison cart, and the wooden boards under him were cold and hard, hurting his back, and Li Changtian was covered in injuries, and he felt extremely uncomfortable lying down.
But at this time, there is nothing to complain about. Li Changtian is already satisfied and thankful that he can sleep without any worries.
Li Changtian had just closed his eyes when he suddenly heard a guard shouting, "Lord Yan!"
Um
Is Yan Shu here
Li Changtian opened his eyes, forced himself to sit up, and heard the sound of chains clinking.
He looked up and found that the door of the prison car had been opened.
Yan Shu gently grabbed Li Changtian's wrist, and pulled him out of the prison car: "Follow me."
"Huh?" Li Changtian was dragged out of the prison car by Yan Shu with a confused face.
The guard was also puzzled: "Master Yan, what is this?"
Yan Shu glanced at the guard: "Interrogate the prisoner."
The guards did not stop him, allowing Yan Shu to take Li Changtian away.
Li Changtian was dragged away by Yan Shu's wrist like this, and he followed behind Yan Shu in bewilderment.
Yan Shu wants to interrogate him
But Yan Shu knows about him.
He didn't hide anything, what is there for Yan Shu to interrogate him
Although Li Changtian was full of doubts, he didn't dare to say anything, and obediently followed Yan Shu back and forth between the tent and the campfire.
Coincidentally, the two also met Qin Jueming.
"Hey, Shu'er, who are you?" Qin Jueming turned his intriguing eyes around Li Changtian and Yan Shu, and asked with deep meaning.
For some reason, Li Changtian always felt that Qin Jueming seemed to be laughing...
Yan Shu pretended to be calm and said: "Before he had a close relationship with the Jackdaw and acted suspiciously. I need to interrogate him."
"Oh, interrogation." Qin Jue nodded clearly, "Go to the internal affairs of the army and bring an extra animal fur quilt. The weather is getting colder and colder, so the two quilts will be warmer."
After speaking, Qin Jueming patted Yan Shu on the shoulder, turned and left.
Yan Shu: "..."
Li Changtian: "Huh?"
What does interrogation have to do with bedding
Qin Jueming's words didn't match the preamble.
Yan Shu dragged Li Changtian to his tent. The march was hasty. The tent was set up simply, no taller than one person, no wider than two beds, but covered with soft fur quilts, it looked very warm.
Yan Shu brought a futon cushion and placed it in front of the bonfire in the tent, pressed Li Changtian's shoulder to make him sit down, and took his hand to check the healing of the injury.
Yan Shu remained silent the entire time, not mentioning anything about the interrogation.
The moon is as bright as a mirror, and the night is as cool as water. Li Changtian looked at Yan Shu, seeing his clear and handsome side face outlined by the firelight, jumping into those benevolent phoenix eyes.
No matter how puzzled Li Changtian was, he could feel that Yan Shu was using 'interrogation' as an excuse so that he could sleep comfortably in his tent.
Li Changtian suddenly wanted to tease Yan Shu, he bent his eyes and said with a smile, "Master Yan, what about the interrogation? You scared me so much that I was ready to be punished, but you didn't ask me for a long time. I was very panicked. .”
Yan Shu took a look at Li Changtian and saw that he was smiling with bright eyes, unrestrained, just like the youthful spirit they had when they first met.
Instead of being annoyed by Li Changtian's teasing, Yan Shu let out a soft breath.
He had been worried that Li Changtian would become depressed, but now he could finally feel relieved.
However, there was one thing that really puzzled Yan Shu.
"When did you regain your sanity?" Yan Shu asked.
"Ah..." Hearing this question, Li Changtian scratched his head in embarrassment, "Actually, I... I... have been pretending to be stupid..."
Yan Shu blinked in surprise.
"In the beginning, I played stupid because I thought it would save my life." Li Changtian explained, "Later, I found out that they forced me to confess and pretended to be stupid, so I just kept pretending to be stupid."
"When you came looking for me, I didn't believe it was you at first. I wondered if it was the jackdaw who disguised itself as you. I was so stupid to come here, so I didn't dare to admit it. Find out, to cover up the fact that you are not stupid." Thinking of himself pretending to be crazy, Li Changtian looked very embarrassed, he lowered his head, covered his lips with one hand, and blushed on his cheeks.
"Cough." Li Changtian coughed lightly, and continued, "After you treated my wounds, I knew that you were not someone else pretending to be you. The reason why I still didn't recognize you was because... because..."
Li Changtian's voice gradually became quieter, as thin as a mosquito's.
For such a generous, frank and cheerful person, there are times when it is hard to talk about it.
He said.
"Because it's good to be a fool occasionally, cry when you should cry, laugh when you should laugh, and I want to be willful once..."
The breeze caressed, blowing away Li Changtian's words. Although he spoke inaudibly, Yan Shu still heard it.
Yan Shu hesitated for a moment, then reached out and patted Li Changtian's head lightly.
Li Changtian grabbed his wrist and took it off with a smile, but he didn't let go of his grip: "I always feel that sometimes you treat me like a child."
Yan Shu looked at Li Changtian and remained silent.
But he was saying it in his heart.
It's not treated as a child, it's just irrepressible love and distress.
"That's right." Speaking of pretending to be crazy, Li Changtian suddenly thought of something, and he asked, "Your dynasty, no, don't you all know what'huhu' is? Seriously, you kissed my side of the neck suddenly at that time, really I was taken aback! Fortunately, I am good at acting!"
Yan Shu: "..."
Yan Shu was silent for a while, then asked, "So what is this Hu Hu?"
"It's not a thing, it's a behavioral habit." Li Changtian explained.
Yan Shu didn't know much, and his face showed doubts.
"In my hometown, if children are worn out or swollen due to stumbling, adults will coax them, saying that the pain will not hurt, but in fact it is just blowing, like this." Li Changtian spoke vigorously and pulled Yan Shu up. hand, it is necessary to demonstrate.
Yan Shu's hand was wrapped in a blood-stained white cloth.
It was the injury caused by desperately looking for Li Changtian and breaking free from the chains.
Yan Shu was listening to Li Changtian's explanation carefully, when he suddenly raised his arm and leaned over slightly.
The slightly cool breath gently caressed Yan Shu's wound, and Yan Shu's eyes suddenly widened.
This kind of behavior is obviously not as romantic as red lips wrapped around the tip of the tongue, but it is more seductive than skin-to-skin kisses.
Yan Shu's breathing suddenly became difficult, and he withdrew his hand suddenly as if he had been scalded by a candle.
"Eh?" Li Changtian was taken aback for a moment, then he raised his head and said with a smile, "Are you too childish?"
Yan Shu looked away and did not meet Li Changtian's gaze. It took a long time before he said: "It's getting late, let's rest, we have to get up early tomorrow to hurry."
"Okay." Li Changtian stood up and yawned.
Yan Shu tidied up the tent a little bit. Although it was not as fragrant and soft as the couch, it was warm and comfortable.
Li Changtian got into the soft animal fur quilt, and suddenly heard Yan Shu who was lying beside him ask: "At that time, when you called my brother...were you also awake when you called me brother?"
Without even thinking about it, Li Changtian said, "Yes."
Yan Shu: "..."
He kept quiet for a moment, then said, "Don't shout like that in the future."
"Why?" Li Changtian asked, "Is it because the seniority has been messed up?"
Yan Shu didn't answer.
Li Changtian turned over and lay face to face with Yan Shu. He asked curiously: "Yan Shu, a person like you who is self-restraining and self-disciplined, will you have someone you like, let alone confessing your love?" Are you so cowardly that you dare not even touch her hands secretly?"
After all, Yan Shu was the one who even changed the nickname of 'brother' to elder brother.
Yan Shu looked at Li Changtian indifferently, then stretched out his hand suddenly, pulled the animal fur covering Li Changtian's body, then patted the back of his hand as if reproaching him, and said, "Close your eyes quickly and have a good rest."
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore, good night." Li Changtian closed his eyes.
He was already sleepy, so he fell into a deep sleep not long after, and when he woke up, it was already daylight.
Yan Shu was not by his side.
Li Changtian stretched his waist and got out of the camp, only to find that the soldiers around him were almost packed, and they looked like they were about to leave soon.
"Damn it, how long have I been sleeping, why didn't anyone wake me up!" Li Changtian started to collect the tent in a panic.
After a while, Yan Shu came back and handed the dry food for breakfast to Li Changtian.
"Thank you very much." Li Changtian thanked repeatedly.
"Go and eat, I'll clean up here." Yan Shu said.
"It's okay! I'll do it!" Li Changtian rolled up his sleeves, ready to continue tidying up.
Yan Shu stuffed the dry food into Li Changtian's palm without saying a word, and quickly closed the camp, leaving no work for Li Changtian.
Li Changtian scratched his head in embarrassment.
Dongfang wanted to know that the army should be on the road again, and Li Changtian had to go back to the prison car.
Yan Shu and Li Changtian found the prison car, Li Changtian didn't say anything, just got into the prison car.
The two looked at each other through the somewhat difficult wooden fence, Yan Shu couldn't help frowning slightly, at this moment, a soldier came to report.
"Master Yan, there is a person who came all the way from Baidi City, and said that he has something important to ask you."
"Come all the way from Baidi City?" Yan Shu was taken aback.
"Yes, that's the man." The guard pointed to the side.
Yan Shu and Li Changtian followed the direction pointed by the guard's hand.
Zhongli stood there cautiously, a handsome young man with a gentle manner.
Yan Shu showed surprise, walked over and started talking with Zhong Li.
Li Changtian was locked in the prison car and could only watch the two of them from a distance.
The two were talking about something, Yan Shu probably agreed to something, Zhong Li's eyes turned red suddenly, and he wanted to kneel down and salute Yan Shu gratefully.
With sharp eyes and quick hands, Yan Shu grabbed Zhongli's arm and stopped him from moving.
Li Changtian suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
It was as if a big stone was pressing on his chest, and he was so stuffy that he couldn't breathe.
Damn, just talk when you talk, why are these two people still talking about it! ! !
No, it doesn't seem to be a problem, why am I so depressed here? ! !
Li Changtian suddenly remembered that at Jinsefang, Yan Shu and Zhong Li had entered the cabinet because of a discussion, and when they came out, Yan Shu told Zhong Li.
"Jinsefang is a romantic place after all. When this case is over, I will take you back to the capital."
hiss…
Could it be that…
