The Huaqing Palace was destroyed in a mess and was being rebuilt. The original pool where the imperial concubine and the emperor soaked could not be opened to Li Jinglong and others. It's also elegant and quiet.
The hot spring pool here is among a pine forest. Last night, Lishan Mountain had its first snowfall. The pine trees were covered with white snow, and a lot of ice balls formed. Prince Li Heng even personally ordered the servants in the other palace to treat everyone in the Exorcist Department as a guest of honor. As soon as Li Jinglong arrived, someone came to greet him, and he planned to take a vacation here for three days and two nights.
In the afternoon, clouds and mist linger over the mountain, surrounded by several side peaks, forming a cloud waterfall, which pours down from the high valley where the other hall is located. It seems to be morning, and it is like dusk. Come and go, there are cranes in the courtyard, which is really pleasing to the eye.
"Compared to our Exorcist Division, which one is better?" Li Jinglong pressed his sword and walked through the corridor with everyone, casually said.
"Each has its own advantages." Qiu Yongsi stood in front of the courtyard and replied, "The display of calligraphy and painting is not as good as ours."
Li Jinglong smiled and nodded. Hong Jun stood in front of the corridor, stretched his waist, noticed Li Jinglong's face, and said, "Chang Shi has been laughing a lot recently."
Li Jinglong blushed for no reason, and replied: "Free activities, gather at dinner."
So everyone dispersed, and went back to their rooms to change clothes and soak in the hot springs. Hongjun was assigned to a small room on the far side. Tea, hot towels, bathrobes, etc. were ready. Looking down at the koi on the bridge, I grabbed some fish food and fed the fish below while eating.
"Aren't you going?"
"No." The carp demon replied, "What's the point of soaking in water every day? I don't like sulfur."
"Let me take a look?" Hong Jun changed his bathrobe and came out, went to get the relic that the carp demon was holding, and said, "I heard from them that your savior seems to be a very great master."
"He has become a Buddha." The carp demon said, "Zhantan Gongde Buddha, I still remember that he told me that you need to accumulate a lot of merit to become a dragon. It is useless to just jump through the dragon gate."
Hong Jun sent the carp demon to seek entertainment by himself, so he walked through the corridor to the Houshan Hot Spring, just passed by Li Jinglong's room, looked inside, and saw that Li Jinglong had changed into a bathrobe, sitting cross-legged in front of the desk, showing a healthy expression. Chest, bowed his head and was mixing herbs in a small bowl.
"Come in, do me a favor." Li Jinglong said.
Hong Jun smelled the pungent smell of medicine, which seemed to be a wound medicine, so he didn't ask much, so he went to help Li Jinglong adjust the medicine, and said, "The ointment for stopping bleeding and promoting muscle growth, are you injured?"
Li Jinglong glanced at Hongjun, but didn't speak.
"Your father used to be a doctor?" Li Jinglong asked.
Hong Jun nodded, and replied: "Chongming taught me pharmacology since I was a child."
Li Jinglong buried himself in the medicine: "It must be because of your father that your adoptive father asked you to study medicine to save lives."
When Hong Jun was told by Li Jinglong, he immediately understood, and remembered the tear that Chong Ming shed the day he opened his eyes when he was young. He and his father Kong Xuan used to be very good brothers, maybe just like himself and Li Jinglong. If one day Li Jinglong died and his child was in his hands, the grief would be indescribable.
Thinking of this, he finally understood what kind of emotion Chongming was hiding every time he looked at him.
Li Jinglong taught him many things, and many details that he had never thought of before gradually became real and emerged from the haze.
Hong Jun watched him mix the medicine curiously. It wasn't until the sun went down that Li Jinglong carefully mixed the bowl of medicine paste, got up and said, "Let's go."
The other three must have finished their bath and went to relax in the valley. In the dark of dusk, the steam was thick by the side of the bath, and there were various things and a screen.
"Take off your clothes, don't rush into the water, let me see you." Li Jinglong said holding the medicine bowl.
"Hey!" Hong Jun didn't expect Li Jinglong to make such a strange request, and he was a little embarrassed immediately.
"See if you are still injured." Li Jinglong said seriously.
Hong Jun replied: "It's ready..."
Li Jinglong just didn't speak, looked into Hongjun's eyes, and said, "Why are you embarrassed?"
Saying that, Li Jinglong put down the medicine bowl, pulled out his belt, took off his bathrobe, and threw it on the ground. His muscles are lean and knotted, his pectoral muscles are beautiful and firm, and his abdominal muscles are neat and strong.
Hong Jun's face turned red in a flash. Although everyone was a man, he had never seen the bodies of his colleagues, and his heart jumped wildly.
"Take off quickly." Li Jinglong's face was also red, urging.
Hong Jun was short of breath, couldn't help but look at Li Jinglong, so he untied his bathrobe and put it aside. After a while, I became a little more natural, so I couldn't help but look at Li Jinglong, thinking: Wow, Chang Shi has such a good figure!
Li Jinglong has broad shoulders and long legs. At the age of fourteen, he was a natural clothes hanger. He was more diligent in practicing martial arts. The whole body is a standard martial arts figure. The skin is a healthy wheat color, and the muscle lines are smooth and soft. The skin is like a brocade. .
This is the body shape and skin color that Hong Jun admires the most. He always feels that he is too fair. Li Jinglong's muscle lines are not too many, and they can only be described as perfect. And... his place is so big!
Li Jinglong's body is thick, long and beautiful, and he looks like he is ready to go. If it becomes hard, I don't know if it will be a foot.
Hong Jun: "..."
Hong Jun suppressed his nervousness, and couldn't help looking at Li Jinglong while blushing. Li Jinglong pressed his nose a few times unnaturally. When he saw Hongjun's young man's body, he almost had a nosebleed. Feet, sweep it again.
"What do you see me doing?" Li Jinglong said.
"Chang Shi, you are so big." Hong Jun was a little coveted. Li Jinglong's sense of power has always been the most admired by a young man like him.
"It's not for you to watch this..." Li Jinglong became embarrassed and said, "Turn around, turn around."
Hong Jun: "???"
Li Jinglong asked Hong Jun to stand by the edge of the hot spring, and asked him to look into the pool. In the cold water pool, there were two naked reflections.
Hong Jun has fair skin, thick black eyebrows, and clear eyes. Although he is only sixteen, his body frame has already grown up. Unlike Li Jinglong's general, he has a slender body, and because he often plays with flying knives and five-color light, The outline of the pectoral and abdominal muscles is not obvious.
His skin was as smooth as spilled milk. The two looked down into the water, and when they saw Li Jinglong's body, Hong Jun's body turned up a little.
"What's the difference between you and me?" Li Jinglong asked suddenly.
Hong Jun was startled, and looked sideways at Li Jinglong, Li Jinglong raised his hand and put it on his shoulder.
At that moment, Hong Jun suddenly had an urge to turn sideways and lean on Li Jinglong's shoulder.
"You're human too, aren't you?" Li Jinglong asked again.
"Of course." Hong Jun was baffled, he didn't expect Li Jinglong to ask such a question, and replied, "What's the matter?"
Li Jinglong stared into Hong Jun's eyes, hesitated to speak, both of them were blushing, Hong Jun's heartbeat became faster and faster, and he was already a little dizzy. Li Jinglong said again: "Then..."
"... just go down." Li Jinglong suddenly pushed Hong Jun into the hot spring pool, Hong Jun was caught off guard, and slid in with his whole body, yelling.
Li Jinglong laughed loudly, and quickly went to get the medicine bowl. Hong Jun emerged from the water and said angrily, "You fuck me up!"
Li Jinglong also entered the hot spring. Hong Jun pressed his head and was about to press him into the water, but Li Jinglong said: "Don't make trouble! I will give you medicine."
He locked Hongjun's wrist, asked him to lie down by the pool, and said, "I'll wash you first."
Hong Jun blushed: "I thought you were going to say something..."
"Let me see?" Li Jinglong said, "Don't move your head."
Hong Jun stretched out his hand to scratch Li Jinglong. Unexpectedly, when he caught the one that caught him, Li Jinglong couldn't hold back anymore. He was very embarrassed immediately, stepped back a little, and said solemnly: "Stand still for me, and watch your wound!"
Hong Jun obediently fell in front of the shore, his shoulders rising and falling with his breathing, Li Jinglong held a cloth towel and said, "Don't keep touching your ears."
Hong Jun applied medicine once after his ear was injured that day, and it got a little itchy after a long time. He always reached out and pressed it from time to time, trying to make the ears fit better, and sometimes they accidentally touched them while sleeping.
"It's all festering." Li Jinglong said with a heartbroken brow.
Hong Jun leaned his head on the bank of the pool, turned his eyes around, looked at Li Jinglong, and replied: "It will be fine when it scabs itself."
The hot spring water was hot, and Li Jinglong moved closer to wash his wound first. The two breathed staggeredly, and the bridges of their noses were very close. Hong Jun's heart jumped wildly again.
"Chang Shi, what are you thinking?" Hong Jun always felt that Li Jinglong was a little weird today.
"I was thinking... so you don't smell all fishy." Li Jinglong wiped the wound, and took a bowl to apply medicine to Hongjun.
Hong Jun said, "Thank you."
"It's all my fault." Li Jinglong sighed and said, "One day your father will find out, and he must beat me to death. Thank you?"
Hong Jun said: "He won't know. By the time he knows, my ears must be healed."
Li Jinglong carefully applied medicine to Hongjun's ears with a wooden spoon, and said, "Don't you want to take me back to your house? When are you going?"
"Ah?" Hong Jun himself forgot, he was so drunk that day that he passed out, and he was completely broken afterwards.
Li Jinglong reminded him about being drunk once, Hong Jun immediately became embarrassed, Li Jinglong said again: "I don't care, you promised."
Hong Jun has always done what he promised, but Li Jinglong and his partners are exorcists, and the people who live in Yaojin Palace are all demons... How to explain this
Hong Jun has been troubled by this problem for a long time. Whenever he thinks about it, he always has a strong feeling that his partners will dislike him.
"Do you have something to say to me?" Li Jinglong lowered his head a little more, and instead of looking into Hongjun's eyes, he concentrated on applying the ointment for him.
"I... yes." Hong Jun's heart was pounding, he stared into Li Jinglong's eyes, but Li Jinglong deliberately avoided his gaze.
And at this moment, Li Jinglong's fingers trembled slightly.
Before this, Hong Jun had thought about it many times. Qingxiong once said that after expelling the Demon King of Chang'an, they could return to Chang'an, but would there be conflicts with the Exorcist after returning this way? My father is a demon and my mother is a human, so am I a demon or a human
He also asked the carp demon, and the carp demon's answer was that even if Chong Ming entered the master's room again, he would never harm the common people like the fox demon. Of course, everyone is not a "good bird", and perhaps conflicts are inevitable.
"You have always had something on your mind ever since you came to the Exorcism Division." Li Jinglong said again, "Because of your parents?"
After applying the medicine, Li Jinglong took the bandage again and said, "Don't touch your ears after wrapping it up. Change the medicine every three days, and I'll change it for you."
Hong Jun said "um", and Li Jinglong said again: "Although I don't know your past, I still hope that one day you can tell me what you are worried about, if you believe me."
A sudden impulse surged up in Hong Jun's heart.
"Long history... I..."
Li Jinglong went to sit aside and put his elbows back on the pool. Hong Jun turned his head, hesitated again and again, and finally said: "Chang Shi, there is one thing that I have been keeping from you."
Li Jinglong frowned, with puzzlement in his eyes.
"I... In fact, half of my blood is a demon." After Hong Jun finished speaking, his heart suddenly hung in the air, unable to fall down.
However, upon hearing this, Li Jinglong suddenly laughed and said, "Well, sure enough."
Hong Jun: "..."
Li Jinglong picked up the cloth towel, wiped his arm, and asked: "Your father is also a demon, isn't he? He also saved the life of the imperial concubine?"
Hong Jun said blankly: "You... don't you despise me?"
"When I saw Zhao Zilong." Li Jinglong said casually, "I guessed that you must have a deep relationship with the Yaozu, Hong Jun, we have entrusted each other with our lives, let me ask, if you don't want to answer, you can No answer."
"You are sent by another monster clan, am I right?"
Hong Jun was suddenly guessed by Li Jinglong about his life experience, and he was a little caught off guard, but with Li Jinglong's careful handling of things, all of this was expected.
Hong Jun had no choice but to be honest, nodded, and replied: "Expelling the Demon King of Chang'an is the task given to me by Chongming and Qingxiong before going down the mountain."
"And then?" Li Jinglong stared at Hong Jun's eyes, as if trying to see through his heart.
Li Jinglong had already vaguely had this premonition—this battle for the capital city of the human race was going on in the dark, and the two major factions of the monster race took Chang'an as the field of competition. Now that the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox has lost, will the forces behind Hong Jun be able to take over smoothly
This is what worries him the most.
"I don't know." Hong Jun said, "But no matter what, whether Chongming comes back or not, he will never eat or harm people."
Chongming is a phoenix, and he doesn't even drink well water or snow water that falls on the ground, and he is extremely picky about his diet. How can he eat a mortal who is full of fireworks
"You are human." Li Jinglong said seriously, "Hongjun, you are human. After taking off your clothes just now, what do you think is different between you and me?"
Li Jinglong knew that Hong Jun didn't know how to be sharp, and he couldn't understand the hidden words in his words.
Only then did Hong Jun understand, and Li Jinglong smiled slightly: "Actually, today I was still worried that there would be something different about you from ordinary people, so I came here so late to avoid being seen by others."
As Li Jinglong said, he stepped forward, took Hong Jun's hand, and pressed it on his chest, and pressed Hong Jun's chest with his own hand.
"Listen." Li Jinglong said, "My heart and your heart are both in the same place. Human blood flows in your body."
Hong Jun smiled and said, "Yes."
He felt that Li Jinglong's vigorous heart was beating vigorously and glowing with warmth.
"I believe that's why your adoptive father sent you to Chang'an." Li Jinglong said, "But maybe this is just my wishful thinking."
Hong Jun said: "Chang Shi, if one day we have to fight..."
"At that time, I will definitely be reluctant to do anything to you." Li Jinglong suddenly replied, and then said seriously: "How do you make it sound like I can beat you?"
Hong Jun laughed, Li Jinglong put one hand on his head, patted his head vigorously, and said: "However, I will try my best to resist, I just hope that you will be merciful at that time, and don't beat me too badly That's all."
Hong Jun laughed and said, "No, Chang Shi! I am human! I am also human."
Li Jinglong moved aside and let Hong Jun sit next to him. The two of them had their arms next to each other. Hong Jun leaned a little behind the pool, and Li Jinglong raised his arms to rest the back of his head so that his ears wouldn't touch the water.
"I had this feeling when the imperial concubine mentioned my mother last night..." Hong Jun turned his head and whispered to Li Jinglong in a low voice.
The green hills are far away, the sun is setting, the two are soaking in the hot spring, and the snow is falling from the sky bit by bit.
"Yo-ho!"
"What are you two doing!"
"Wow, is this talking about love?!"
Qiu Yongsi, Mo Zhigen, and Artai jumped into the pool unexpectedly. Li Jinglong was taken aback. He didn't expect that they hadn't soaked yet. He hurriedly protected Hongjun's ears and said, "Be careful, the bandages just wrapped !"
The three hurriedly gathered around to check, and they were relieved after confirming that the bandages on the ears were not soaked in water.
"Come on." Mo Zhigen smiled, "Hong Jun, sit on my lap?"
Hong Jun: "..."
Qiu Yongsi said: "Hong Jun, ignore him, come and sit on brother's lap."
Hong Jun blushed and said, "Stop making trouble!"
Artest laughed and said, "Then I sit on your lap?!"
Li Jinglong said: "I'm leaving, you play..."
Li Jinglong was just about to go ashore, but was dragged back by Mo Rigen, Li Jinglong said angrily: "You've turned your back?!" Then Qiu Yongsi laughed, and the three of them took turns pushing Li Jinglong into the water. Hong Jun hurriedly said: "Hey ! How can you treat Chang Shi like this?"
"What?" Mo Zhigen smiled, "Do you feel distressed?"
Li Jinglong's head was covered with water, and when he was about to beat someone, Hong Jun said again: "This is how you don't call me to Chang Shi! It's disgusting!"
As he said that, Hong Jun also rushed forward.
Li Jinglong: "..."
The dusk is deep, smoke and dust are everywhere on the desert, horns sound, and the setting sun is like blood.
On the heights of the city tower, the soldiers shouted in panic.
"Enemy attack!"
"There are enemies coming!"
"Is it the Huns?"
"do not know… "
"Dang-dang-dang-"
In the middle and high places of Mingsha County, the alarm bell rang, the baby cried endlessly, and the woman screamed in panic.
"How many people are there?!" the city guard general hurried up the tower and shouted.
"Three thousand... no, twelve thousand... More than that! More than that!"
"Line up! Close the city gate!"
The soldiers pushed the roller, and the gate of the city was closed with a loud bang. Thousands of soldiers rushed up the tower, bowed their bows and set arrows, smoke and dust flew up, and there was a large area of blackness, and 50,000 cavalry in black armor came out of the city.
There was no sound on the Gobi Desert, not even the neighing of war horses. Soldiers in black armor lowered their heads and held spears, as if they hadn't seen the rows of bows and arrows on the tower.
At this moment, there are less than 5,000 soldiers defending the city in Mingsha County, the siege troops were caught off guard, and there was no beacon fire on the Great Wall of Skyrim.
"Where did it come from?" the city guard general trembled.
The leading general in black armor raised his spear and pointed at Mingsha County. Fifty thousand cavalry raised their spears at the same time and shook the reins. In an instant, there was only the sound of horseshoes trampling the earth, the sky shook, and the mountains and seas rushed towards Mingsha County. Come!
"Let the arrows! Let the arrows go!"
Tens of thousands of arrows were fired on the city wall, shooting at the enemy army that was rolling in like a tide, but no one turned their backs on their backs. The arrows pierced the siege soldiers and horses and tied them into straw figures densely. He slammed into the city wall!
The city wall built of rammed earth was knocked down instantly, and thousands of black armored troops rushed over the ruins and rushed into the city!
The general defending the city was trampled to the ground by a horse, and then he was hit by a spear, which penetrated his chest and was nailed to the ground. Before he died, he opened his eyes wide and saw the cloudy eyeballs in the enemy's helmet —
