Chapter 41: Cutting sandalwood (2)

Views:

"What's wrong with me?" Lin Xinmeng whispered this sentence after a long while, and the hand hanging by his side couldn't help but quietly grabbed the corner of Shen Lou's waist. This was the first time that Shen Lou took the initiative to hug him, how could he be willing to push him away, even if Shen Lou said something unpleasant, he would admit it.

"You sucked the devouring spirit, why didn't you tell me? You lost your spiritual power, why didn't you tell me?" Shen Lou lost control, his eyes turned red at an angle that Lin Xin couldn't see.

When they parted for the last time, Lin Xin was lying on the bed where they had been lingering for days and nights, smiling and reaching out to him, "Shen Qingque, please give me a hug."

Shen Lou was silent for a long time, but in the end, he didn't go forward, and only said, "Lin Xin, please take care of yourself."

The absurd pranks for several days and nights made him hate Lin Xin's dirty tricks, and also hated his own obsession. So much so that he turned his head and left decisively, without giving him any tenderness. After leaving Luqi Terrace, he realized that his spiritual power had recovered, and the spirit-eating spell in his dantian disappeared without a trace. Reluctantly, he went back to find Lin Xin, but the man had already died at the hands of the coalition forces that attacked the "Demon's Nest".

In the next few years, when I dreamed back at midnight, I always saw Lin Xin reaching out to him, crying or laughing, or arrogant, or weak and pitiful, and said the same sentence to him over and over again: "Shen Qingque, you hold me hug me."

When I stretch out my hand, there is nothingness, and I can't hold it no matter what.

Hearing Shen Lou mentioning this, Lin Xin was a little embarrassed, "I didn't do this to ask you to thank me."

At that time, Shen Lou was hit by the devouring spirit and sealed the spirit veins. He used the secret method to transfer the devouring spirit to himself, and took advantage of the opportunity. Later, he was attacked by others, and without his spiritual power, he could only be slaughtered by others, and his death was not heroic.

He didn't do this for any noble reason, just as he wanted. Well, in fact, it was a bit of bad intentions, he wanted Shen Lou to never forget him, and to remember him forever.

"I didn't thank you, I hate you!" Shen Lou tightened his arms, just now when Lin Xin turned and left, he even had the urge to chain him up. Lock him firmly in the house, on the bed, and not allow him to go anywhere, and he will never disappear again.

Probably really crazy.

Hate me, hate is always longer than love. Thinking of what he said at the beginning, Lin Xin's vision suddenly blurred, and to receive the hug from this past life, he was begging for kindness.

The autumn wind picked up, and the sycamore leaves in front of the court fell down. The two sat down by the wooden corridor, and finally they could have a good talk with peace of mind.

"I don't need to take revenge now, but I need power, and I want to keep the title and become emperor again." Lin Xin said without any concealment, the deer-discretion order will be implemented soon, and the power of the princes of the four directions will be reshuffled, and the bite The catastrophe of the spirit is also approaching, and there is not much time left for him.

"Although I don't like Feng Zhong, I agree." Shen Lou nodded.

Lin Xin was very surprised, and tilted his head in front of Shen Lou to look at him, "After I died, what did Feng Zhang do to anger people?" It is not easy to make Shen Qingque, a loyal minister who is a model in the world, turn his back.

Shen Lou looked at Lin Xin who was close at hand, and couldn't help but smile, "It doesn't count, but if he ascends the throne, Dayong will go down the old path, and it would be meaningless for me to be reborn."

"Do you know that you will be reborn?" Lin Xin could hear something unusual from these words, because his body was tilted too much, and he would fall down when he lost his balance, and was quickly caught by Shen Lou into his arms. He lay down and couldn't get up. Anyway, this Shen Lou had already slept in, so he didn't have to pretend, so he simply threw his face away.

Shen Lou didn't intend to let go, just hugged him like this, "Well, I won't let Feng Zhang be the emperor anymore, and he is not my master. So, you don't have to..."

"Oh, I turned a loyal minister into a traitor, that's amazing." Lin Xin said pretending to be melancholy, and after he finished speaking, he couldn't help secretly laughing.

What he feared most in making this decision was that Shen Lou would break with him. I planned to explain it to Shen Lou slowly in the future, but I didn't expect that he planned to stand with me from the beginning. It's like preparing to risk your life to pick ganoderma on the cliff, but the ganoderma fell into the back basket by itself.

Shen Lou looked at him and smiled slightly.

"Xin'er!" The brief tenderness was interrupted by Zhu Xingli's angry roar, Lin Xin sat up with a grunt, seeing Feng Zhong behind his master with a face of "I have already filed a complaint", he couldn't laugh or cry.

"Master, why are you... hey!" Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Xingli grabbed his ear.

"I've already heard from Chong'er, what are you going to do to cut a deer and swallow a hook with a demon knife!" Zhu Xingli dragged his apprentice over, and said angrily, "I'm giving you food and drink, or I won't make a sword for you gone?"

The swallow hook is a treasured sword handed down from ancient times, but it is extremely evil. It is said that it was dug out in the ancient battlefield. Before Feng Zhuoyi wanted to use this knife, he specially showed it to Zhu Yangai, in order to get rid of the evil blood in the knife. But Zhu Yangai had no choice but to warn the emperor that if the person who used this knife was not mentally strong, he would be easily influenced by the demon knife and become cruel and bloodthirsty.

Demon Sword is also the nickname given by Zhu Yangai.

"No, master, you heard about me, ouch!" Lin Xin was rarely picked up by the master, this time it was useless to pretend to be pitiful and clever, so he could only ask Shen Lou for help.

Shen Lou gave him a helpless look, picked up the small sword on the ground, flicked the dust, and let Zhu Xingli carry Lin Xin back to the stove for education. He himself stood up and went to the main hall of the East Palace to look for the brothers of the Zhong family. Now that we have spoken to Lin Xin, some things can start.

The crown prince was discussing matters with the officials of the East Palace, when he heard that Shen Lou was coming, he asked him to join him.

"Guzheng is discussing with Zhan Shifu, and wants to invite Beimo envoys to come to Yongdu." The prince roughly told Shen Lou about the content of the discussion just now, "The Northern Territory has just won a battle. If the negotiation is proper, at least it can be exchanged." Ten years of peace."

Ten years of peace may be difficult, Shen Lou lowered his eyes, "What do you want to talk about, Your Highness?"

"Naturally, it's a marriage," said Zhan Shi, a young man in Zhan Shi's mansion, "Uluolan Khan hasn't married yet, so it's time to marry a princess."

Today's barbarian tribes have been basically unified, and there is a common Great Khan named Wu Luolan He Ruo. Heroes cherish heroes, Xuan Guogong Shen Qirui has always wanted to talk to He Ruo, but the other party has not been seen.

"What do you think?" the prince asked Shen Lou.

Anyway, trading a woman for border security is something only cowards would do. Shen Lou raised his head and looked at the prince, "Which princess does Your Highness want to marry?"

The royal family does not have many heirs, and now the only one who is of the right age is Princess Yunxi who was almost pointed out to Shen Lou before.

The officials of the Eastern Palace looked at each other, and it was the Shao Zhan who said in advance, "The ministers mean that it is better to make the daughter of the Shen family a princess, so that they can be closer." It is not considered a distant marriage.

Shen Lou's face turned cold instantly.

"Nonsense!" Feng Zhang slapped the table, "Qiu Ting is a good arrow general, sending him to Beimo is not sending the general to the barbarians!"

The Shao Zhan immediately knelt down, "Prince calm down, I am stupid."

"It's gone, it's gone!" The prince waved his hands irritably, and drove out a group of Eastern Palace officials who had made up their minds. He rubbed his forehead with a headache.

"Your Highness, why worry, the selection of candidates is up to the emperor." Shen Lou put the small sword on the table, "I heard that the emperor has just named him the Marquis of the Deer Deer."

This little sword was given to Shen Lou by Zhong Suifeng to play with, and then given to Lin Xin by Shen Lou. Now that the Zhong family is completely under the command of the prince, the seal can be found out with just a quick search, so he directly spread it out.

Hearing the three words of Marquis of the Lu, the prince's eyes changed slightly. This position is very important, but the few people he recommended were not satisfied with his father, so he chose Lin Xin who was not close to him. "I've tried to persuade you on this matter several times, but my father didn't listen. But you don't have to worry, these policies and regulations put forward by the civil servants are aimed at some young lieutenants who eat vegetarian meals in the corpses, and it will not hinder your Shen family."

The prince didn't ask how Shen Lou got the news, let alone what Lin Xin did for throwing the sword, he took out a bowstring finger with exquisite carving from his sleeve, and handed it to Shen Lou, "When you go back, replace I will give it to Qiu Ting."

Shen Lou took the finger wrench and remained silent. He knew that the crown prince was interested in Shen Yingying, and Shen Yingying was not indifferent, but he didn't want to agree to this matter.

It started to rain at night, one autumn rain and another cold, the cold wind mixed with water vapor drifted into the house, making it even more lonely.

Shen Lou turned over, staring at the rain outside the window in a daze. It's not good to reveal his identity, Lin Xin will no longer act coquettishly, and pretend to be a young man to share a bed with him.

Suddenly there was a light sound from the window edge, and a black figure came in from the window, shaking the raindrops on his body, took off his outer shirt in twos and twos, and jumped over.

Shen Lou pulled back the quilt silently, the black shadow sneaked in like a cat looking for warmth, and shivered into his arms.

Neither of them mentioned how they slept together again, and the room became quiet for a moment, only the patter of rain outside the window continued.

"Your master..."

"I told Master that I wanted to rebel!" Both of them spoke at the same time, Lin Xin emerged from the bed, and said aggrievedly, "Master hit me, you see, I got red marks." Saying that, he pulled away Undershirt, revealing a palm print on the shoulder.

"..." Shen Lou turned his eyes away, not looking at the white and round shoulders, and stretched out his hand to straighten his clothes, "What do you want to do in the future, discuss with me first, there are some things you don't know."

Lin Xin looked up at him and said with a smile, "Why should I tell you?"

In the darkness, Shen Lou's smiling eyes reflected the flickering rain, as if thousands of stars were hidden, "Didn't you keep telling me?"

Did you see that I crushed He Liuhun's soul

I lied to the emperor, saying that I was worthy because I did not fail the emperor's kindness.

I have become a deer-cutting marquis.

I'm going to rebel.

Tell Shen Lou all the bad things that he thinks, and get some approval from him, which will be subtly influenced, so that he will not make him hate himself when he settles the score in the future. Lin Xin originally planned this way, but he didn't expect that Shen Lou was born again.

Feeling a little embarrassed, Lin Xin gritted his teeth and turned against the general, "You obviously have memories since you were a child, why did you lie to me to warm your bed?"

Shen Shizi who was smiling calmly, his ears turned red instantly.

The author has something to say: Small theater:

Xinxin: You actually want to lock me on the bed!

Lou Lou: I just think about it

Xinxin: I can't even think about it!

Lou Lou: Then I...

Xinxin: Come and implement it, I’m ready_(:з」∠)_

Lou Lou: …
