And at this moment, a voice came from outside the hall: "Your Majesty announces that Li Jinglong has an audience—"
When he heard this, Li Jinglong knew that he had won.
"My lords, Your Highness, I will take my leave first."
Everyone: "..."
Yang Guozhong and Gao Lishi wanted to ask the teacher for their crimes, but at the last moment, it was the emperor who saved Li Jinglong! Li Heng was also shocked for a moment, Li Jinglong knew what happened this time when he saw Li Heng's face, Li Longji probably didn't know it at all, and was suppressed by the prince.
The matter involved a lot, and it even involved the power struggle between Ge Shuhan, Yang Guozhong and Li Heng. It is understandable that Li Heng did not want to report it. If there were only ghouls killed in battle, Li Jinglong might be fine. However, if the demon is involved, if one wrong step is involved, there is a danger of complete annihilation.
With such a leapfrogging, the prince naturally hated himself to death, and Li Jinglong couldn't care less. Immediately set off to Jinhualuo.
"Hongjun." Li Jinglong suddenly stopped in the corridor, and asked Hongjun, "Do you trust me?"
Hong Jun was startled and nodded. Li Jinglong said: "No matter what I say or do, you believe me."
"Of course, what's wrong?" Hong Jun asked.
Li Jinglong pondered for a while, and then said: "No matter what I said in front of His Majesty later, just remember, Hongjun..."
Hong Jun: "???"
Hong Jun looked at Li Jinglong in surprise, Li Jinglong just looked at him quietly, and finally said: "Just remember, you are the most important thing to me..."
"Let's go." Li Jinglong blushed, stopped talking, and urged Hong Jun to leave quickly. At that moment, Hong Jun clearly felt that Li Jinglong was a little embarrassed.
His heart jumped up, he caught up with Li Jinglong, and came to Jinhualuowai.
From winter to spring, the sacred ginkgo tree that protects the country has taken out its young leaves, dotted with immigrated peach blossoms around it, blooming colorfully and brilliantly.
Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan were still sitting on the couch. After Li Jinglong led Hongjun to see him, the music stopped, and Li Longji ordered someone to bring Li Heng over. Li Jinglong was just about to report, but Li Longji said calmly: "Let's talk about it when the prince comes."
Dressed in white, Yang Yuhuan looked at Hongjun with a smile and said, "Did you find your uncle?"
"I found it." Hong Jun took the snacks and tea handed over by the eunuch, and said with a smile, "It's a pity that he didn't say goodbye to him, so he came back in such a hurry."
Yang Yuhuan said: "There is always a chance to meet, don't worry."
Li Longji asked: "If you hadn't handed over this booklet, I wouldn't have known that you had traveled to Liangzhou, and wondered why I haven't heard from you these days."
Li Jinglong said with embarrassment: "For His Royal Highness, fortunately, I went."
Li Jinglong wanted to knock on the side, but the emperor just asked casually about customs, and Li Jinglong only answered indiscriminately. When Li Heng came, Li Longji took a look at Yang Yuhuan. Yang Yuhuan got up and left, and the atmosphere in Jinhualuo became solemn again.
"Li Jinglong." Li Longji dismissed everyone, and then said coldly: "What you said in the memorial is quite alarmist."
Hong Jun didn't expect that when Yang Yuhuan left, Li Longji's face changed, and he immediately became nervous. Then Li Longji threw the memorial on the ground, and the papers scattered. After a few lines of words, I was shocked and looked at Li Jinglong.
"There is absolutely no falsehood." Li Jinglong said: "The specific process is as follows..."
As he said that, Li Jinglong took a sip of tea, starting from the Heavenly Demon many years ago, talking about the catastrophe that recurs in a thousand years, and then talking about the detailed process that he learned from the ghost king who died in battle this time when he went to Hexi, only omitting everything related to Hong Jun. Related inside information, finally said: "Nowadays, the demon species is still in the world, and its reincarnation is inevitable."
Hong Jun was shocked when he heard the words, he didn't expect that Li Jinglong didn't hide anything!
"You mean." Li Longji murmured: "There is a 'Sky Demon Seed', which will grow into a Sky Demon when the time is right?"
"That's right." Li Jinglong obviously came here today, and he didn't intend to hide it from the emperor.
"Where is the demon seed?" Li Longji asked again.
"Still under investigation." Li Jinglong replied calmly: "But I have grasped the trace, so I can't say it yet."
Li Heng tremblingly said: "Li Jinglong, don't talk nonsense and scare me!"
"Your Highness." Li Jinglong said bluntly, "Is there anything unreasonable about what happened?"
Sometimes the most convincing words are the truth. Hong Jun has to admit that Li Jinglong is very smart, as long as he tells the truth, no matter how tortuous the process is, how unbelievable the inside story is, the interlocking truth should have the power to be believed.
"I will get rid of the Heavenly Demon Seed." Li Jinglong said again: "But in the process, Chang'an will be in chaos, and His Majesty's support must be obtained first."
Removing the Demon Seed meant that Li Jinglong would kill him, and Hong Jun was spinning for a moment. When he heard this, he seemed to see a future where he would die in Li Jinglong's hands.
However, Li Jinglong just gave him a look, which is the look Hongjun is most used to, calm down, I have everything.
Thinking of Li Jinglong's words, Hong Jun finally suppressed the discomfort in his heart and nodded.
"How do you get rid of it?" Li Longji said.
Li Jinglong replied: "The demon king is what the demon king is looking for. As long as you stay by its side after you find it, the demon king will show up sooner or later, and they will find it desperately. At that time, I will use all the resources of the exorcist department to find it." With the power of life, first eradicate the 'Xie Prison' completely, and then use the heart lamp to purify the demon seeds and burn them to death."
"I'm afraid you can't do it." Li Longji said.
"If I can't do it." Li Jinglong said: "Other people can't do it."
"Facing the monster clan, all the members of the Exorcist Division are willing to fight with all their strength, just like Hongjun beside me, who is the most important person in my life. They entrusted their lives to me, but facing the court and His Majesty , Your Highness, when the crisis comes from our own people, we cannot disobey His Majesty's will, nor can we ignore the criticisms of many courtiers."
"This is exactly the reason why we have to tell His Majesty the truth. This matter has become a golden flower, and no fifth person should know about it. I need unreserved trust."
With that said, Li Jinglong put his hand on the back of Hong Jun's knee, raised his head, and watched Li Longji's expression.
Li Longji only looked at the two of them in silence, Hong Jun's eyes were full of sadness, even though he knew it earlier, when he heard it, he still felt sad. But he didn't break away from Li Jinglong's hand, because at this moment, he only had Li Jinglong to rely on.
"Li Jinglong." Li Longji said, "Do you know what you are doing?"
Li Jinglong replied: "I have already thought it through."
"In this way, I will fulfill you."
"I admire Your Majesty." Li Jinglong finally said.
Kui Ye, Li Jinglong and Hong Jun walked slowly in the alley, one behind the other, Hong Jun walked in front, Li Jinglong followed, the two thought about their own things for a while, and they were speechless for a long time.
"Hongjun." Li Jinglong finally said, "I have something to tell you."
Hong Jun said: "I'm so tired, I don't want to talk."
Li Jinglong caught up a few steps and explained: "The prince summoned today, and the incident happened suddenly. I wanted to explain many things to you last night, or tonight..."
"I'm going back." Hong Jun replied.
He still believed in Li Jinglong, but Jin Hualuozhong's words had such an impact on him that he was a little at a loss. The bricks and stones flew away outside the gate of the Exorcist Division, and Hong Jun stepped in quickly. Li Jinglong said behind him:
"You promised to believe me no matter what!"
Hong Jun glanced back at Li Jinglong, with loneliness and loneliness in his eyes. He understood the reason, but he just felt extremely uncomfortable at the moment.
"You two are back?" The carp demon asked in the yard: "Have you eaten? Where have you been?"
Hong Jun passed by quickly, Lu Xu poked his head out of Mo Zhigen's room, and shouted: "Hong Jun!"
Hong Jun entered the room, closed the door, Li Jinglong chased after him, stood outside the door, and said, "Hong Jun, listen to my explanation..."
Hong Jun didn't open the door, and Li Jinglong didn't force his way through the thin door, just stood there. The lights in the room were not turned on, and his tall figure was reflected on the paper door.
Hong Jun stared blankly at the figure, silent.
Artest, Mo Zhigen and others all poked their heads out of the room to look at Li Jinglong, but Li Jinglong waved to Artest, beckoning him to come over, and whispered a few words in his ear, Artest couldn't laugh or cry, and went back to the room with his hand on his forehead.
"Are you okay?" Mo Zhigen gestured with his mouth.
Li Jinglong nodded, and Lu Xu was about to call the door, but Li Jinglong hurriedly stopped him, motioned to Mo Zhigen, and made a gesture with five fingers to mean 'cage'.
Lu Xu: "?"
Mo Zhigen understood, quickly pulled Lu Xu back, and explained in a low voice in his ear, Lu Xu couldn't bear to break free from Mo Zhigen, and only looked at Li Jinglong suspiciously.
Lying on the couch, Hong Jun tossed and turned when he saw Li Jinglong leaving, thinking about what he said today, he knew in his heart that Li Jinglong was protecting himself, and he only said that today.
"I know what I said today made you feel bad." Li Jinglong's voice rang again outside the door.
Hong Jun was confused and said: "Stop talking! Let's go!"
"... But you only listened to the words related to the demon." Li Jinglong ignored Hongjun's order to chase away guests, and said: "But I have one more sentence, which is to say to your majesty: You are the most important person in my life." people."
Mo Zhigen, Lu Xu, Carp Demon, Artai, Ashinaqiong, everyone was astonished when they heard this, but Mo Zhigen smiled and waved his fist at Li Jinglong. Although he didn't know what happened, he was still shocked. He encouraged.
The carp monster opened its mouth wide, and everyone seemed to be watching the excitement, but Li Jinglong became uncomfortable and waved for them to leave quickly.
In the room, Hong Jun still did not answer.
Li Jinglong came over with a Barbat in his hand, sat cross-legged outside Hongjun's room, and said, "Hongjun, do you know what I admire about Your Majesty?"
The room was quiet, and the moonlight shone on the paper door, making the door white, Li Jinglong said again.
"Ten years ago, Concubine Wu Hui died of illness. His Majesty fell in love with the noble concubine at first sight and recruited her to the palace. The concubine was once his daughter-in-law. This move is tantamount to causing a big disturbance in the court."
"But he tried his best to reject all opinions, because he believed that they would be together." Li Jinglong said again: "Besides, the earth-shaking and the vicissitudes of life have nothing to do with him."
Hong Jun sat cross-legged on the couch, looking at Li Jinglong's figure outside the room in a daze, not knowing why he said such words. Not only did Li Jinglong not have the slightest intention of apologizing, but he let out a sigh of relief.
"I'll play a song for you, Hong Jun." Li Jinglong said.
Hong Jun: "???"
Hong Jun's anger has dissipated, thinking that everyone should not be asleep yet, Li Jinglong is sitting outside the door like this, most of the others think that they have quarreled, they are so embarrassed, when they are about to go forward to open the door for Li Jinglong, they hear The barbat sounded like flowing clouds and flowing water.
"Mountains have trees and trees have branches..."
Li Jinglong's voice was thick and deep, not as clear as Artest, but as soon as the singing came out, it seemed that there was a magical power that hit Hong Jun's heart directly!
"Your heart pleases you, you don't know..." Li Jinglong blushed, and as he plucked the strings, light appeared between his five fingers, flowing continuously through the piano. Hong Jun's breath was suffocated, this is... a... courtship song!
Hong Jun couldn't believe it. Looking around, he felt a little dizzy for a while, and then fixed his eyes on Li Jinglong's shadow reflected on the door.
He sang again: "When is this evening, when will you be in the middle of Weizhou-when will you be in the same boat with the prince today-to be ashamed and shamed by the good ones?"
"My heart is constantly troubled, and I learned that the prince, there are trees in the mountains, and trees have branches!"
"My heart pleases you! You don't know!"
Hongjun: "..."
This "Yueren Song" was originally sung by a Yue girl in a gentle and clear manner, but Li Jinglong played the piano very quickly, and he sang a series of poems majesticly. Almost unstoppable.
In the instant courtyard, everyone was dumbfounded, looking at Li Jinglong from a distance. I only heard Li Jinglong change his tone again, and said again: "Shangxie! I want to know you! Longevity will never die-the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and the winter thunder and earthquake... summer rain and snow, heaven and earth together... dare..."
"...and the king."
The music gradually stopped, Li Jinglong stared at the door, smiled handsomely, like a child, and said, "Hongjun, you like brother, don't you?"
Hongjun: "..."
Hong Jun sat on the ground in the room, and couldn't help stepping back a little. Li Jinglong was outside the room, without giving him any time to think, and said:
"I know you like me, Hongjun, you say, say you like me. As you said, you like me the most. Say it again, Hongjun."
Hong Jun couldn't help but yelled: "You...you are too hateful! Chang Shi! You can't do this!"
"Say you like me." Li Jinglong put down the piano, knelt on the ground, and sat outside Hongjun's door, put his hands on his knees, and said seriously: "You said you liked me, Hongjun, and I came in."
"I..." Hong Jun couldn't control himself, panting crazily. At this moment, he felt as if he was held in Li Jinglong's arms that day and flew straight down from the lofty height of Yaojin Palace.
Li Jinglong is like a general who is approaching the city with soldiers. Although he is alone, he seems to be carrying thousands of troops, swearing to the famous and unknown gods in the world, to the sky, the earth, the mountains, the sea, and all living beings in China. . In an instant, all cities will be broken.
"Say you like me." Li Jinglong said with a smile: "Hong Jun, we are together, from now on you will not leave me, and I will not leave you either."
"I... I..." Hong Jun said, "I..."
The blood almost rushed to Hong Jun's head, he couldn't help trembling, those words seemed to block his throat, everything he expected was on the other side of the door, his voice became distant, but real Welling up from his heart.
"I...I like...you." Hong Jun was almost out of breath.
"Who do you like?" Li Jinglong said outside the door again.
"You bastard!" Hong Jun blushed and roared towards the door, "Li Jinglong!"
Li Jinglong said "Hey" with a smile, opened the paper door, and strode in. Hong Jun became nervous instantly, Li Jinglong stepped forward, Hong Jun shouted: "What are you going to do?!"
When Li Jinglong came in front of Hong Jun, Hong Jun couldn't help hiding in the corner, he was stunned, but Li Jinglong knelt down on one knee, and immediately knelt down on the other knee, blocking Hong Jun in the corner.
Hong Jun was extremely embarrassed, but Li Jinglong locked his chin with his backhand, looked at him seriously, and whispered: "Don't move, be obedient."
Immediately afterwards, Li Jinglong turned his head and kissed her.
In an instant, there was a bang in Hong Jun's mind, and it became blank. Li Jinglong's lips were hot and soft. When they touched his lips, everything was silent on the spring night. Hong Jun felt a white light, breaking through the long night, shining into his soul.
When their lips parted, the two stared at each other in a daze, Li Jinglong was still kneeling and looking at Hongjun. With a smile in his eyes, he said, "What am I?"
"You're an asshole." Hong Jun said.
"Say it again?" Li Jinglong said.
"You are... um..." Before Hong Jun could say anything, Li Jinglong kissed him passionately again. He opened his eyes wide, looked at Li Jinglong, looked over his shoulder, and looked out the door, and immediately pushed Li Jinglong with his face flushed.
"Concentrate." Li Jinglong frowned.
"Don't look!" Hong Jun was so embarrassed that there was a large group of people standing outside the door.
"Congratulations!" Mo Zhigen said hurriedly.
"Chang Shi, let's distribute some money!" Artest said, "Send red envelopes for happy events."
Ashinaqiong said: "That's right, let's give each person twenty taels."
Lu Xu said: "I feel that you are really an asshole, Chang Shi."
Li Jinglong roared angrily: "Let's talk about deducting your salary!"
So everyone dispersed, and the remaining carp demon stared blankly at Hong Jun, as if very disappointed.
"Close the door for me." Hong Jun hurriedly said, "Zhao Zilong."
The carp demon said: "Hongjun..."
Hong Jun hurriedly said: "Let me stay by myself for a while!"
The carp demon had no choice but to close the door and run away.
When Hong Jun looked at Li Jinglong again, he was so nervous that he almost vomited. He got up and wanted to run out the door, but Li Jinglong said, "Where are you going?"
Hong Jun said: "I... I'm going to take a breath."
Hong Jun put on clogs and ran out in unlined clothes. Li Jinglong followed behind Hong Jun. Hong Jun turned around in the courtyard with a blank expression on his face. Li Jinglong just followed him, and he went wherever Hong Jun went.
"You..." When Hong Jun turned around, he almost bumped into Li Jinglong's chest. Li Jinglong said, "I hug you?"
Hong Jun: "No!"
Li Jinglong said: "They all heard it."
Hongjun: "..."
"Come with me." Li Jinglong said again, holding Hongjun's hand. Hongjun was nervous and wanted to shake it off when he touched it now, but Li Jinglong was holding it tightly, and flew up to the roof. Hongjun's expression was in a daze, and he almost slipped When he fell, Li Jinglong put his arms around his waist, led him to fly over the walls, jumped over several eaves, and went up to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.
Hong Jun felt as if he was in a dream for a while, he still couldn't digest this amazing life change, he just wanted to leave Li Jinglong quickly, so that he could go to be alone for a while. But Li Jinglong didn't leave him at all, he didn't allow him to have a chance to breathe, as if he was afraid that he would lose him if he turned around.
"I… "
Hong Jun turned his head to face Li Jinglong, his emotions were like huge waves, and he had thousands of words, but he didn't know how to say them.
"Look." Li Jinglong said, "Chang'an is so beautiful tonight."
