Ning Gu

The secluded emerald green color is about to drip, and the romantic love in the bamboo house is strong.

Xie Ling was hugged horizontally by Zhao Zuo, and the arms that had just wrapped around Zhao Zuo's neck were unconsciously retracted.Zhao Zuo slowly led him into the inner room, and whispered in his ear: "You...below your knees..."

Zhao Zuo hesitated to speak, his eyes darkened a bit, even though he didn't understand what Zhao Xianzhi said in the palace this morning, he could still understand what he meant, that is, the illness under the knees of the person in front of him couldn't get rid of him relationship.

But Zhao Zuo paused with shame and curiosity, in Xie Ling's ears, he thought it was Zhao Zuo who cared about his face, and didn't say what he said clearly, so he just responded and acquiesced in his words He moved horizontally, looked up from the bottom up, and he took the affection in Zhao Zuo's eyes and the worry in Zhao Zuo's eyebrows into his eyes calmly.

Xie Lingwo is in Zhao Zuo's arms. He has this scene in his memory, but he can't remember it clearly, but he feels that he will never lie. From the moment he and Zhao Zuo depended on each other, from the moment Huixuan closed his eyes , he is no longer the Xie Ling who just wants to be alone and seek safety.

Even if he wants to, there are always people who don't want him to be safe, and he sees this more clearly than others.Zhaoxing has been stable for a few years, and Huixuan is not likely to cause any grievances. Kuang Huixuan, the only villain on his body who was killed because of his extreme anger and sword, finally became Xie Wuling's debt in the eyes of the world.

The man in black came to Zhaoxing to take Huixuan's life, presumably it was for Huixuan to keep this secret for Miaofa.If it's really just coveting Zhaoxing Xie Ningcun's treasure, it's okay, but if he has other thoughts, then Zhaoxing should be just the beginning of this person.

As for Zhao Zuo, Xie Ling didn't know what to attribute him to. To Xie Ling, he was like the haze on the top of Zhaoxing Mountain, lingering in his heart and never forgetting about it.

So it used to be, now, so?

Now... Xie Ling knows that he needs him more, the him who stands at the pinnacle of power, but his need is no longer as simple as before.

Zhao Zuo and Xie Wuling knew each other from Zhaoxing at the beginning.Today Xie Wuling invited Zhao Zuo a cup of tea, and tomorrow Zhao Zuo secretly gave Xie Wuling a jar of aged wine.

At that time in mid-spring, mountain winds, mountain flowers, and all those elegant and virtuous things surrounded only the two of them.They spread out a mat in the courtyard of the guest house, sat on the mat, drank a glass of wine under the moonlight, and the cup was full of moonlight, but it was not intoxicating.

Although Xie Wuling was still a young man at that time, he followed the gentry from all over the world to many places and saw a lot of scenery. Of course, his understanding of this world is not limited to the words of Confucian and sour scholars; Many old stories, such as the flood in the south of the Yangtze River, the battlefield of Shura in the northwest... Of course, in the eyes of the monk, there is more compassion for the world, so what Xie Wuling heard from his master is more that he has never seen the eyes of kings and grandchildren suffering.

With these experiences, Xie Wuling became a novelty in Zhao Zuo's place, or in the eyes of several future princes and grandchildren.After all, in Wangsun's eyes, only the magnificent scenery in Fufeng City is in his eyes.

As for his understanding of the temple and Chongque's heart, although he can't compare with those princes and grandchildren who grew up from that Chongque, but he grew up eating a lot of food, so he is still first-class in terms of observing words and deceiving people's minds.Even the friends he has met from all over the world are more than Zhao Zuo imagined.

Not to mention that he met a geisha girl who would send him spring wine once or twice in the autumn in the endlessly lit Yangzhou, but he said that under the yellow sands in the northwest, there was an uncle with a beard who left him a cellar of fine wine.However, Zhao Zuo only slowly realized these things when Xie Wuling became one of his subordinates.

Zhao Zuo grew up under the Confucianism of the Taifu in the palace. His mother and concubine were kind-hearted. Naturally, they would not live long in Chongque, so they passed away early. Therefore, Zhao Zuo was more sensible than other princes of the same age. Chongqueli and a few brothers and sisters still had a good time.

And he, for some reason, has been close to the Princess of Changle, Zhao Yuanbao, since he was a child. Perhaps it was because he saved Zhao Yuanbao's life when he was young. possible.

So in this heavy palace, he, a lonely prince, was able to grow up safely to leave the palace and build a mansion, and it was mostly the result of being taken care of by Zhao Yuanbao's mother and concubine Zhenfei.

Speaking of going out of the palace to build a mansion, he is probably the only one among the princes who has not reached the weak crown, has never been an official, and has not been granted a feudal city, but he has left the palace to build a mansion.Although this palace was the one that Concubine Zhen begged for him with the blessing of his birthday.As for Concubine Zhen's plan, everyone knew it.

The fact that Zhao Zuo was given a mansion before reaching the crown caused an uproar in Fufeng City. There is no mother clan behind him, and others only think that he will become the first bird. Even if his wings are broken in the future, it will be harmless. .

But that eldest prince Zhao Xiu didn't think so.

Zhao Xiu was born of the empress, he has been crowned for a long time, and he can't compare with Zhao Zuo's beauty, so he was naturally suffocated.But the emperor always has the consideration of the emperor, and perhaps as a consolation, the eldest prince Zhao Xiu was made a duke of the state shortly after Zhao Zuo left the palace to build a mansion, and was given the title "Yong" and a mansion outside the palace.

Everyone knows that "Yong" is the closest state seal to Fufeng. Compared with Zhao Zuo, a prince who only has a mansion, Duke Yong is indeed more honorable.The emperor's action did appease the family of Fufeng's relatives.

Zhao Zuo didn't care about such honors at first, whether these things came to him, whether it was good or bad, he said that he didn't count.Just like calligraphy and painting that he thought were good when he was young, in the eyes of Yuan Zhu, they were just a pile of waste paper, but the emperor gave him a plate of fruit, which he thought was not tasty, but everyone thought it was good.So when he grows up a little bit, if others give, he will receive it. It is better to have something than nothing.

After all, he had to look like this in front of people.

So when Concubine Zhen was treating him to the crown, she made the decision for him, married a concubine girl from the Liang family as the main wife, and gave birth to Xianzhi, and he also pretended to be safe.

Others said that he didn't fight or snatch, and was an idle prince, but no one knew him. The picture of the country and mountains in his heart had already been drawn, but before the time came, several layers of dust had accumulated in his heart.

He is waiting, waiting for a gust of east wind that can blow away the dust and sweep him into the blue sky.

And it was at the age of 22 that he met Xie Wuling and found a gust of east wind that could blow his pretended calm to pieces.

The ashes of the picture of mountains and rivers in his heart were finally blown away by Zhaoxing's mountain wind.

His thoughts were guessed by Xie Wuling.

Mountain flowers bloomed all over the walls of the temple, and Xie Wuling from the inn waited in the pavilion.Zhao Zuo arrived as scheduled, but there was only one person in the pavilion.

He stepped up, imitating literati etiquette, bowed his hands and said to the young man whose hair was untied: "Lang Jun, where is the person you introduced?"

"Who does Wang Sun want to see?" Xie Wuling picked up the peach blossom petals on his shoulders, placed them on the table, picked up his peach blossom eyes, and looked at the person coming.

"Yesterday, I saw an elegant person, but today I am not. When I meet a sage?"

"Don't worry, there is still one thing that the Caomin is puzzled about. I hope Wang Sun will help the Caomin to clarify the confusion."

"You said."

"There are so many elegant and sages in Zhaoxing, who is it that caught the attention of the king and grandson?"

"Xie Pingzhi." Zhao Zuo raised his head and read a person's name with a bit of arrogance.

He once heard that a young Taifu in the Taixue mentioned a man who could paint and write Fu, who is worthy of being a talent in the world, but that person is very low-key, and he can only be seen at the annual Goose Pond banquet and gatherings of poor scholars.

Out of curiosity, he took a peek at the painting in the master's hand, but it was a scene of smoke from cooking in a sparsely populated place, which was the most common, but that normal scene was also what Zhao Zuo hoped for the most.

Later, he also looked at his other paintings in Taifu's hands. When he saw those paintings, Zhao Zuo felt that this person was the one in the world with the most similar thoughts to him.

He bothered the grand tutor again and again, but he only found out from the grand tutor that it was a sage from Zhaoxing named Xie Pingzhi.

So he took advantage of the excuse of traveling away from Beijing in spring, and came to Xianshan to look for this person.

"I thank Wuling, the word Pingzhi."

After hearing Zhao Zuo's answer, Xie Wuling breathed a sigh of relief. He suppressed the joy in his heart, said this sentence as if unintentionally, then bowed his head and took out the ring that Zhao Zuo had under his sleeve, and handed it over to Zhao Zuo. To the person in front of you.

This time it was Zhao Zuo who was stunned.His heart was not calm for a long time, he thought that the man was like the Taifus of the same imperial school, with a long beard and a lack of character, but he didn't think it was a young man without a hair crown in front of him.

"Believe it or not. After all, there is only one Xie Pingzhi in this world." Xie Wuling saw that Zhao Zuo came back to his senses, and his frown was full of doubts, so he replied.

He is a person who is used to being free and easy. Others say that he is "better than all the guests in the world", and he has never refuted it. After all, he is young and travels north and south, so he must be a little arrogant.

It was also his rampant spirit that made his unrestrained temperament, Xie Wuling, Zhao Zuo's favor, and fell deeply in love.

Zhao Zuo gently placed Xie Ling on the bed, leaned over to press Xie Ling's lips, and lingered.Taking advantage of the situation, he pushed himself onto the couch and pressed Xie Ling under him, his tongue flicked in Xie Ling's mouth, sucking the breath he had missed for a long time.

After a long time, Zhao Zuo raised his head slightly and looked at the person in front of him. His pale lips, after several tossings, became a little red. Charming is no different.

Zhao Zuo lost his mind, as if he had returned to Fufeng, to the person under the apricot tree at that time.He buried his head in Xie Ling's neck, licked his neck, and tapped his Adam's apple playfully with the tip of his tongue. Xie Ling subconsciously raised his head and swallowed. The Adam's apple moved slightly, which made Zhao Zuo Unconsciously, he lowered his head and lightly pecked at the Adam's apple, then took the Adam's apple in his mouth again, Xie Wuling was afraid, he remembered all the sensitive places.

There was a sly smile in his eyes, he felt Xie Ling's breathing became heavy, he let go of Xie Ling's Adam's apple, and took a sip from his neck, Xie Ling was afraid that he would not know the severity, and would fall in love with him. There were marks on his neck, so he pushed his shoulder, but this strength was better than nothing.

Zhao Zuo ignored it, and licked all the way down, but his lips stopped on the old scar next to Xie Ling's collarbone. Even the smile in his eyes gradually disappeared. The words are still in my ears.Zhao Zuo's eyes were instantly clear, and his movements paused.

He knew that he was still Zhao Zuo now.

Xie Ling naturally felt the slight pause in his movements, he raised his arms around the person on his body, the light in his eyes was still dazzling.He patted Zhao Zuo's back lightly with his hand. He thought Zhao Zuo was concerned about the scar on his collarbone. To be honest, he didn't remember how the scar came about, but it seemed to be related to the people on his body.

Maybe I should think of these things earlier, so that I can find out the man in black who killed Huixuan faster, otherwise how would he explain to Master Miaofa after he went to Huangquan in the future?

Zhao Zuo buried his head in his neck and didn't make a sound, the whole bamboo house became quiet all of a sudden.Xie Ling felt a little overwhelmed.

In his current memory, he has never slept with Zhao Zuo, but he feels very familiar with Zhao Zuo just now.

Zhao Zuo got off him suddenly, rolled over to his side, lay side by side, took a few deep breaths, and said, "Brother Huixuan, are you leaving?"

"Let's go." Xie Ling turned his head sideways, looked at the people around him, and said jokingly, "What about you? I don't want the grass people to give you a ride."

"Departure tomorrow." Zhao Zuo said while reaching out to hold Xie Ling's hand, as if he was afraid that he would run away, and held it tightly.But shouldn't Zhao Zuo be the one to leave first?

"Yeah." Xie Ling's eyes dimmed, but he didn't make a sound.

"Yongguo's mansion is in trouble, and the widow has to go back to Beijing." Seeing Xie Ling's calmness, Zhao Zuo explained subconsciously, but suddenly remembered something, and added, "I'm afraid your theater robe is It's gone too." He said to himself, "When the widow returns to the capital, I will send someone to the Duke Yong's mansion to look for it for you."

Zhao Zuo originally knew about Xie Ling's amnesia, but after entering the bamboo house today, seeing Xie Ling's calm and composed appearance, he thought that Xie Ling must have remembered, so he didn't notice Xie Ling's slightly frowning eyebrows.

This morning he received a message from his imperial brother Zhao Shi, saying that the mansion of the Duke of Yong was in trouble the day before yesterday, and the Duke of Yong died. Zhao Shi is a master who does not care about things, but he sent a message. It is really puzzling. I don't want to have that message The story brought by those people is even more astonishing.

It's just that Zhao Zuo didn't want to talk to Xie Ling.

That Yong Guogong was the one whom he and Xie Wuling never mentioned in the later years.It was the person who made Xie Wuling unbearable, and it was also the person who made Zhao Zuo want to keep this Xie Wuling in the house for the first time, and just hid it like this.But the idea was only for a moment at the time.

When Zhao Zuo came to the throne, he thought that one day, someone would get rid of him. Now that his elder brother has really gone, he... really wants to look up to the sky and laugh.
