Wei Shuo looked at Qing Xiao suspiciously, and finally sat on the ground, but there was a long distance between him and him.
Qing Xiao was rather amused: "What are you doing so far away from me? I won't eat you."
Wei Shuo didn't say anything, but felt that Qing Xiao was so open-minded, that he was acting too villainous, so he moved towards Qing Xiao symbolically.
Although there is no difference in the distance between moving and not moving, Qing Xiao is still very satisfied. He folded his knees and looked at the clouds in the sky, very leisurely: "How old are you this year?" Although he already knew about Wei Shuo's experience, he still wanted to hear it from him himself. His expression seemed to be the same as Wei Shuo's. As casual as long-acquainted friends.
"Nineteen years old." Wei Shuo was rather cautious.
"I'm eighteen this year." Qing Xiao said, "One year younger than you, if you don't dislike me, how about calling you Big Brother Wei?"
Wei Shuo wanted to refuse, the two of them were hostile, so such an intimate title seemed inappropriate.
Qing Xiao saw through Wei Shuo: "There is no grudge between us, don't act like you killed your father and enemy when you see me. Two countries are hostile, and the changes between the countries are changing rapidly. It's hard to say what will happen. Things. Don’t look at the fierce fight at the moment, but you might shake hands and make peace at some point. If you wait for the day when the two countries are at peace, will you still hate me like this when you see me again?”
The words made Wei Shuo speechless, he didn't refute or agree, it seemed that he acquiesced to Qing Xiao's words just now.
The corner of Qing Xiao's mouth ticked up in satisfaction: "I don't like war, especially this war was provoked by our Wuman country, but I have no choice. In this position, no matter how helpless I am, I can only Follow the trend."
Just as Qing Xiao knows everything about Wei Shuo, Wei Shuo also knows everything about Qing Xiao. He is the third prince of Wuman Kingdom, so he naturally knows. It is indeed as Qing Xiao said, no matter how much he hates war, his status cannot be rejected. He is not alone, he represents tens of thousands of people in Wuman Kingdom.
"Do you know why I came here?" Qing Xiao turned to ask him.
Generally speaking, when the princes of Da Yuan went to war, it was to boost the morale of the frontline soldiers, and to make them feel that they were important in the eyes of the imperial court. Or to monitor the front, but looking at Qing Xiao, it seems that these two things are not the same.
Qing Xiao didn't seem to ask Wei Shuo to answer, he said to himself: "Because someone wants my life, he wants me to die here, and I can never go back."
"Who wants your life?" Wei Shuo hadn't suffered any setbacks since he was a child, and the environment he was in was always smooth. His father was stationed in southern Xinjiang, far away from the imperial city, and was not under the control of the monarch. Her elder sister and mother are well-loved in the world, and are deeply favored by the emperor. The only nephew is the emperor's eldest son, and he will naturally become the emperor in the future. Wei Shuo had never experienced those swords and swords in the court, so he couldn't understand it.
"My Uncle Wang is Nan Wang." Qing Xiao casually plucked a small flower on the grass, held it in his hand and shook it gently, with an extremely indifferent expression, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him, "There is no eldest prince or second prince in our Wuman Kingdom. They are all dead. The news you heard must be normal death, but I tell you, it is all fake. They were all killed by my uncle Wang, because he I want to be the head of the Wuman Kingdom. But my father’s sons have become his stumbling block, so he wants to kill us. Now that my two brothers are dead, it’s my turn.”
Wei Shuo frowned when he heard that, what the third prince said was completely beyond his understanding. He couldn't imagine that in this world, someone would kill his own relatives for the sake of power and status. But these things were clearly placed in front of him, he didn't doubt Qing Xiao's words, it was all about Wuman Kingdom's affairs, it had nothing to do with him as an outsider, there was no need for him to lie to him. Wei Shuo wanted to comfort him, but he couldn't figure out what to say after thinking for a long time.
"It's been a long time since these things happened, and it wasn't that easy for him to kill me. I escaped the plot again and again. He thought it was a dream to get me into the barracks and kill me without leaving a trace. "Qing Xiao stood up from the grass, "No one knows about this except for my confidantes.
It's a pleasure. "
Qing Xiao stood on the grass, closed his eyes, opened his arms, and felt the gentle breeze blowing in his face. The breeze made his long hair flutter, adding a bit of fragile beauty to him.
Wei Shuo just looked at him with mixed feelings in his heart. From the first time he saw Qing Xiao, he thought he was a sunny and flamboyant person. Although Wei Shuo hadn't suffered much, the etiquette he learned since he was a child made him pay attention to his words and deeds all the time. He just has a face without much expression in front of people. Whether he is happy or sad, he will not show his true feelings. However, Qing Xiao always had a wanton expression on his face, which made him envious.
Heroes always cherish each other, regardless of their identities, Wei Shuo really appreciates him. Especially after knowing Qing Xiao's secret, he admired him even more. If it was him, he didn't think he could do what Qing Xiao did.
After a long time, Qing Xiao slowly opened his eyes: "The clothes are already dry, let's go back, they should wait in a hurry."
Qing Xiao put on her clothes again, and the two rode out of the mountain one after the other, in order not to be suspected, they went back screaming and killing all the way.
After this battle, there were several small-scale wars between Qing Xiao and Wei Shuo, and then there was a calm for several months.
Qing Xiao once said that the valley he took him to was usually not visited by anyone, and it was close to both armies. That night, there was nothing to do in the army, so Wei Shuo rode out for a stroll, and came to that place unknowingly.
From a long distance, I saw a person bathing in the river.
Qing Xiao sensed that there was someone behind him, and immediately called Wei Shuo before he wanted to leave: "Brother Wei, you're here!"
Bumping into someone else taking a bath, Wei Shuo was a little embarrassed, he was about to turn his horse around to leave, but he had to stop when Qing Xiao stopped him.
Wei Shuo got off his horse, Qing Xiao had already put on his clothes, and even caught two fish and threw them on the ground.
"Why did Big Brother Wei come here?" Qing Xiao asked.
"I'm free to wander around." Wei Shuo said.
Qing Xiao said: "I come here to take a bath every night. I'm not used to the bathtubs in the military, but the water here is clean and comfortable. It's dark now, and I can't see anything. Why don't Brother Wei go take a bath too? .”
Wei Shuo had worn armor for a whole day, and his body was very hot. In the end, unable to resist Qing Xiao's persuasion and the temptation of the river, he also took off his armor and jumped into the river.
After Wei Shuo came out of the river, Qing Xiao set up a fire on the bank and roasted two fish on the fire. When he saw Wei Shuo came out, he hurriedly tore a piece of meat from the fish and gave it to him: "Wei Shuo Brother, try it, it’s delicious.”
Wei Shuo took it from his hand and put it in his mouth to taste carefully, it was really delicious: "Thank you very much."
"Thank you." Qing Xiao shared a fish with Wei Shuo, "It's a pity that there is no wine, it would be better if there is wine."
Wei Shuo stood up and walked towards the horse, took a water bag from the horse, and threw it to Qing Xiao: "If you don't mind, drink it."
Qing Xiao opened the stopper and took a sip: "Good wine, good wine. Why does Brother Wei have wine on him?"
"It was my sister who hung it on the horse for me." Wei Shuo said, "There is a rule in the army not to drink alcohol, so I kept it on the horse without drinking."
"Your sister? She must be a very gentle person." Qing Xiao took another sip, and a layer of water stains appeared on her lips, making her look even redder and more attractive.
"She is the best sister in the world." Wei Shuo mentioned his family affairs in front of others for the first time, "My mother passed away shortly after giving birth to me, and my father lived on the battlefield for a long time, leaving only my sister and me in the house. Although she is only eight years older than me, she takes care of me like my mother. When I was twelve years old, my sister entered the palace and became a queen, and I cried a lot."
Qing Xiao joked, "I really want to see Big Brother Wei cry."
"When I came to Southern Border, my sister put this armor on for me." Speaking of the Queen, Wei Shuo's unchanging face also showed some expression.
Qing Xiao stared blankly at his profile, and couldn't help being stunned.
Since that day, the two have tacitly come here to meet almost every night.
"Brother Wei, what move did you use that day, can you show me it again?"
"good."
"Brother Wei, look how round the moon is tonight."
"Round and bright."
"Brother Wei, come and taste this, it's made by the master in my tent, it's delicious."
"The taste is good."
"Brother Wei, it's such a good day."
"Um."
"..."
Time is like a river, rushing endlessly, and it is two springs and autumns in the blink of an eye.
Marshal Wei finally found out that Wei Shuo always went out of the tent at night.
One day Wei Shuo came back from the outside and went into his tent, he saw Marshal Wei waiting for him in his tent with a face as dark as the bottom of a pot.
"Where did you go?" Marshal Wei asked in a deep voice.
"Boy, I'm just going out for a walk." Wei Shuo replied with a guilty conscience.
Marshal Wei knew his son best, he had never told a lie when he was growing up, and now he dared to tell a lie.
Thinking of the rumors in the army these days, Marshal Wei slapped him furiously.
Wei Shuo staggered from the beating, a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.
"Do you want to talk?" Marshal Wei asked again.
"Baby is just going out for a walk." Wei Shuo twisted his neck and said nothing.
Marshal Wei really got angry, and shouted outside: "Go to the military law!"
Wei Shuo's private encounter with Qing Xiao was done in a very secret way, no one knew about it, and Marshal Wei only had some vague guesses. He was really pissed off. When the military law was brought up, he snatched it away and beat Wei Shuo down.
Naturally, there were those who interceded in the army, but Marshal Wei, who was caught in a rage, didn't dare too much.
Wei Shuo was beaten with eighty sticks by Marshal Wei, and his anger finally dissipated.
When there were only his father and son left in the military tent, Marshal Wei also felt distressed, but he still hardened his heart and turned away from him: "You are from Dayuan, don't forget your duty. This country will belong to Xiao Shi in the future, and you have to guard it for him! It would be fine if he was only from Wuman Kingdom, but he is the third prince of Wuman Kingdom. He is destined to be the ruler of the country in the future, and you and him are impossible. "
Wei Shuo didn't speak.
"If you persist in your obsession, don't blame your father for being ruthless. Although he is highly skilled in martial arts, there is no one in my camp who is better than him in martial arts. Even if one is missing, I have two, and I can always kill him. You, do it yourself .” Marshal Wei left after saying this.
Wei Shuo had been recovering from his injury for more than a month, and the Wuman state camp naturally got some news.
After Wei Shuo recovered from his injury, he went back to the valley. Qing Xiao had already been waiting there. Seeing him coming, he looked worried, asked questions endlessly, and brought out many secret medicines from Wuman Kingdom.
Wei Shuo only said: "I won't come here again, you and I will meet again in the future, I'm just the general of Dayuan Kingdom, you're just the third prince of Wuman Kingdom."
After finishing speaking, regardless of Qing Xiao's expression, he urged his horse to flee and left.
Wei Shuo has not seen Qing Xiao for more than three months, I heard that he has returned to the palace. It's good to go back, it's good to go back. Wei Shuo said this in his heart, but whenever the night was quiet, he would always look in the direction of the valley.
Marshal Wei is naturally happy to see it succeed, but in order to completely cut off Wei Shuo's thoughts, he plans to find a marriage for Wei Shuo. Originally, he wanted to find a famous family in the imperial city for Wei Shuo, but now and then, he decided to marry him as soon as possible.
Wei Shuo was sleepy, and wanted to refuse but was helpless.
After Marshal Wei made up his mind, he asked the matchmaker to find suitable girls in the city. The matchmaker brought piles of portraits of girls, and Marshal Wei showed them to Wei Shuo, but Wei Shuo put them aside.
Seeing his son like this, Marshal Wei felt very uncomfortable. The deputy general beside him didn't know what happened to the father and son, and thought Wei Shuo was just alone.
Purely not interested in women.
Although Da Yuan allowed men to marry men, the lieutenant still sneered at it, he couldn't understand the meaning of two big men being together. So he thought of an idea and said to Marshal Wei: "General Wei just doesn't know the beauty of women now, if he tastes the beauty of women, he will naturally not refuse."
Marshal Wei was already in a hurry to go to the doctor. Although he wanted to marry Wei Shuo sooner, but in the end he was his son, and he still wanted him to find a girl he liked, so he let him look at the portrait by himself.
"Then how to do it?" Marshal Wei asked.
The deputy general said: "There are the most girls in the brothel, why not bring General Wei to the brothel, let's find him a girl..."
Now Dayuan and Wumanguo are in the truce period again, and there is nothing wrong with the army at the moment, so Marshal Wei tacitly allowed a few people to bring Wei Shuo into the brothel.
As soon as Wei Shuo entered the brothel, he knew he had been duped. He heard from his brothers in the army that he came to drink, but he didn't know it was flower wine.
Wei Shuo wanted to leave, but was stopped. They dragged him and forced him to drink a few glasses of wine.
The wine in the brothel contains drugs to enhance the pleasure, Wei Shuo's eyes and ears are no longer clear after drinking a few cups.
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, the lieutenant motioned for one of the girls to take him away.
The girl carried him to her room, how could she expect a handsome young man to come out halfway, this is really Qing Xiao.
Qing Xiao took out an ingot of silver from his bosom and threw it to the girl: "This man is mine, where is your room? Don't come back tonight."
Although the girl felt a little pity that someone like Wei Shuo was cut off by others, but she had money in hand, so she was happy to agree.
Qing Xiao brought Wei Shuo into the room, and the pungent aroma spread over the surface.
His teeth were itching with hatred, and he threw Wei Shuo onto the bed.
Although Wei Shuo was feeling uncomfortable, he knew who the person in front of him was: "Qing Xiao."
All Qingxiao's anger dissipated the moment he heard his name.
"You know it's me?"
"Why are you here? Didn't you go back to the palace?"
"If I don't come, you will belong to someone else today."
After Qing Xiao finished speaking, he violently tore off Wei Shuo's clothes. Wei Shuo struggled a few times, but he didn't know whether it was the effect of the medicine that made his body unable to exert force, or he didn't want to exert force at all. In short, he approved Qing Xiao's actions.
Qing Xiao pressed his lips on his, and Wei Shuo immediately turned against him, pressing Qing Xiao under him.
Crazy night.
When the sun appeared in the sky step by step, Wei Shuo woke up first.
The tangled clothes on the ground and the marks on the bed all showed how intense last night was.
Regarding everything that happened last night, Wei Shuo was sober. But just because he was sober, he couldn't forgive himself. Qing Xiao was still asleep, his lips were visibly swollen, this was the first time for both of them, and it was unknown if Qing Xiao was injured last night. He wanted to ask, he wanted to hold Qing Xiao in his arms to comfort him, he wanted to whisper love words to him.
These were all held back by him abruptly.
Maybe because he felt Wei Shuo's gaze, Qing Xiao woke up after moving his eyelids.
The four eyes looked at each other silently, staring at each other for a long time.
"I..." Wei Shuo opened his mouth to speak first.
"You don't need to say anything, I did it voluntarily." Qing Xiao was very unrestrained, "I haven't drunk, so I know what I do, but do you know why I do it?"
Wei Shuo naturally knew about it, but he didn't dare to say it.
"Because I like you." Qing Xiao smiled, "I am the only one who can touch you, and I am willing to do anything for you. Then, I like you, do you also like me?"
Qing Xiao changed his usual smile, looked at him seriously and asked.
Wei Shuo saw that he didn't say anything, Qing Xiao said again: "You like me too, don't you?"
Wei Shuo still didn't speak, Qing Xiao's expression became ugly: "I know what you're worrying about, what you're worried about
What worries me is exactly what I worry about. But I only want you to say a word, as long as you are willing to say it, I don't care about anything, I just want to be with you wholeheartedly. Sometimes enough is enough, this throne, this country, was never what I wanted. Whoever wants it can take it, so what does it have to do with me? If you say that, I drop everything to be with you. "
Wei Shuo never said anything.
Qing Xiao changed his rhetoric again: "Since you don't say anything, as long as you say that you hate me and don't like me, I will give up and never pester you again."
Wei Shuo opened his mouth, but still couldn't speak.
"You said it? Did you say it?" Qing Xiao became more angry, "Why don't you say it? If you say you like me, you don't say it, and you hate me? What do you want?"
Wei Shuo was silent for a moment, but still said, "I don't hate you."
"Is that what pleases me?" Qing Xiao's eyes flashed a gleam.
Wei Shuo didn't say anything more, and after a long time, Qing Xiao snorted coldly: "I see." There was a chill in his voice, which made Wei Shuo's heart shudder.
Qing Xiao put on the clothes one by one, opened the door and went out without another word.
He didn't know, Wei Shuo stared at the direction where he left and murmured, "I like you."
