He was reborn and I wasn't!

In the quiet dark night, the moonlight casts bits of silver on the lake, and a small boat gently breaks through the water waves and moves forward slowly.

Jiang Yan said earlier that he wanted to swim in the lake, so the two rented a small boat by the river.After boarding the boat, Shang Ning consciously took the oars and sat in the stern, asking his senior brother where he wanted to go.

Sitting on the bow of the boat, Jiang Yan put one hand on his knees and held his chin with a smile and said, "Wherever the younger brother takes me, I will go there."

Shang Ning smiled when he heard this, but remained silent.With a movement of his hand, the oars made a wave on the water, and the boat sailed away from the shore.His senior brother didn't say where he was going, so he just followed his whim, sometimes he went under the bridge hole, and sometimes he stopped at the shadow cast by the bank on the lake.

It was dark all around, except for a bright moon hanging high above.It was quiet in private, and there was a little silk and bamboo orchestral sound from a distant cruise ship, and the crickets lingering after midsummer chirped long and tremblingly one after another.The places Shang Ning visited were far away from the shore, and the atmosphere was peaceful. Jiang Yan stayed there for a while, and almost fell asleep.

He was curled up on the bow of the boat at the moment, one hand was almost unable to support his chin, his pair of long phoenix eyes were half-opened and half-closed, and finally they were simply closed.

The speed of the paddle sliding gradually slowed down, and at the end, Shang Ning simply withdrew his hand.He looked towards the opposite side of the boat and saw that his senior brother was holding his chin, his figure was precarious, and he almost fell to the bottom of the boat.Jiang Yan closed her eyelids, and when the moonlight shone on her face, it cast the shadow of long eyelashes.The atmosphere at this time was very quiet, Shang Ning looked at his senior brother from the opposite side, and couldn't help but want to reach out and touch his senior brother's face.

Thinking of this, he stood up lightly.The boat was not big, and the two grown men sat with only an arm's length between them.The boat shook a little, Shang Ning squatted down, leaned forward slightly, stretched out his arms, and touched his senior brother's face easily.

The touch under his fingers was as soft and delicate as he thought. Shang Ning touched it like a thief for a while, and then couldn't help raising his hand to gently scratch Jiang Yan's eyelids.The thick eyelashes swept across Shang Ning's fingers like a small brush, itching, almost spreading all the way down his arm to his heart, which made people feel a little distracted.

The hand that Jiang Yan had been supporting seemed finally overwhelmed. He slid out along his chin, his head suddenly lowered, and his whole body shook.He woke up in a daze, before he realized the danger of falling off the boat, he was grabbed by his shoulders first.

Jiang Yan opened his eyes and looked at it for a while, then said: "Junior Brother?"

Shang Ning didn't know what to say, he was a little annoyed and funny in his heart, he hadn't succeeded yet, why...he took advantage of Jiang Yan's still not fully awake, and looked at the other party with greedy and fiery eyes several times, Only then did he let go of his hand, and calmly said: "Brother was too careless just now, sitting and falling asleep on the boat, he is not afraid of falling."

Jiang Yan was not unaware.He could vaguely feel that the way his junior brother looked at him just now, and the strength with which he was holding him was a bit wrong.It's just that it was too dark around here, although he was aware of it, he still couldn't get a glimpse of everything, and later saw that his junior brother was acting naturally, so he could only think about it himself, and smiled embarrassingly: "Isn't there still a junior brother?" you."

Shang Ning smiled without saying a word.

Jiang Yan no longer struggled with his momentary feelings, but turned around to look around.He saw that they had already swam to the middle of the lake, and there was no water in all directions, only the light of red candles and the sound of silk and bamboo on the boat in the distance.Jiang Yan thought for a while, and said to his junior brother: "Junior brother, let's row over there. When the time comes, stop the boat on the shore, and we'll go back to sleep."

Shang Ning nodded. He had already sat back to his original position. He silently picked up the oar and headed towards the direction where the red light flickered.

The bow of the boat broke through the water, and it gradually approached the pleasure boat.

Sitting on the bow of the boat and looking into the distance, Jiang Yan saw a figure standing on the wooden board on the first floor of the pleasure boat, also looking this way.He took a closer look, and saw that the figure had a high hair crown, a long robe, and a folding fan in his hand. He looked like a handsome young man in the night wind, just like Jiang Yan used to in Jinling.

He had a faint guess in his mind, but before he could tell his junior brother to get closer to the pleasure boat, he heard the person leaning on the railing teasingly say: "Come on, I said that the outline was a little bit strange before." It looks familiar, it turns out to be Brother Jiang, the 'Master Yumian'!"

Jiang Yan: "..."

Jiang Yan sighed: "Brother Zhao, don't come here unharmed."

Zhao Yin smiled and said: "Very good, very good, I think Brother Jiang is not bad either."

Jiang Yan felt that his words were sour, and he was too lazy to communicate with him, so he said directly: "Speak well, Zhao Yin."

Zhao Yin was not annoyed when he choked on him, he was a few years older than Jiang Yan, when the two first met, they both dressed in the same way, they were both elegant young masters.For a moment, he thought that the other party and himself were the same kind of people, and he couldn't help but always wanted to teach the other party how to endure hardships based on the experience of those who have traveled the rivers and lakes.It was only later that he discovered that Jiang Yan could let go more than he did, he could eat delicacies from mountains and seas, and he could also eat simple meals.

Zhao Yin said yes, yes, yes, and saw Jiang Yan jumping up neatly.

After Jiang Yan jumped to the first floor of the boat, he ignored Zhao Yin, and turned to see his junior brother first.This pleasure boat is essentially a tall building built on the shore of the lake, but it is made in the style of a pleasure boat.A supporting frame was exposed on the water surface, and Shang Ning was locking the boat to this frame.

Zhao Yin and Jiang Yan looked down together, and after a while, a boy jumped on board the previous boat.This boy's face is still a little immature, he looks only fifteen or sixteen years old, but he is tall and big, a little taller than him.

Zhao Yin raised his eyebrows, looked at Jiang Yan at the side, and said with a smile, "Who is this?"

Jiang Yan said: "This is my junior brother."

Zhao Yin saw that he seemed quite complacent, so he couldn't help following him and sincerely praised: "Your junior brother is indeed a dragon and phoenix among men."

Jiang Yan was happy to hear that, and even looked at Zhao Yin with pleasure.He thought for a while and asked, "Why are you here? Didn't you go in to play?"

"It's just for a while to get some air." Zhao Yin glanced at him and said with a smile, "In the end, I saw two people who would rather have fun on this dark lake than enter this building to take a look." .”

Jiang Yan: "..."

Zhao Yin looked at him and asked with a smile, "Go in?"

Jiang Yan glanced at Shang Ning who was standing beside him, and sighed, "Go in."

Zhao Yin said with a smile: "Don't worry, just watch the dance and listen to the music." After finishing speaking, he glanced at the silent and focused young man again, and said with a smile: "Besides, your junior looks good, don't let him Can he insist on what he has done?"

Jiang Yan was speechless, and the three of them entered the pleasure boat through the side door.

The inside of the pleasure boat looks very big, after all, it is actually a tall building, divided into upper and lower floors, with a tall stage in the middle.On the stage, it seemed that one round of singing and dancing had just finished, and the other round hadn't come up yet, but the silk and bamboo orchestra was already in place.Inside the entire pleasure boat, upstairs and downstairs, there were crowds of people everywhere.Drinking, teasing, soliciting customers, cheering, endless.There are many thick red candles burning in the building, and the candles are so bright that they directly reflect the lights in the building.

It was rare for Shang Ning to see such a scene, and there was a little surprise in his dark eyes, and he was worried for his senior brother whether he would have a seat later.Jiang Yan was used to such scenes, and without changing her expression, she turned around and asked Zhao Yin, "Where is your position?"

Zhao Yin said with a smile: "Upstairs, on the south side. There is a private seat over there. Don't look at the noise here, once you go up there, it's quite clean."

Jiang Yan raised her eyebrows: "I still need you to remind me?"

Zhao Yin smiled and said: "Hey, didn't I tell your junior brother?" He said, raised his eyes and glanced at Shang Ning, then smiled at Jiang Yan in a low voice: "Didn't you see that he looked at Shang Ning just now?" You look worried, it must be because you are too delicate in normal times. You are a junior, you are not normal to you. "

Jiang Yan stared: "I can still be as delicate as you? You are probably jealous that I have such a good junior."

Zhao Yin: "..."

Zhao Yin felt chest tightness and shortness of breath.

He is a keen person, especially in this kind of matter, he has a sense of accuracy.Unexpectedly, he kindly reminded Jiang Yan, but the other party's attention was placed elsewhere?

Zhao Yin shook his head, thinking that the two might be a perfect match.He didn't speak anymore, just turned around silently and led people upstairs.

The three were seated.

This private seat is indeed much cleaner, although you can still hear the noise in the distance, but it seems to be separated by a road here, the noise is only in the sky, not in front of you.There are not only people sitting at their table here, but every table speaks softly, which seems to be a world of difference from when they first entered the door.

Xiao Er quickly came up to refill tea for the guests.

Zhao Yin knew that Jiang Yan didn't drink much, and there was another one and a half adults on the table, so he didn't order wine, but ordered a pot of tea, a few dishes of side dishes and snacks, and the three of them ate while listening to the following conversation. Luyang minor.

Jiang Yan looked at it for a while and said, "Why do you want to come to Luyang this time?"

The martial arts conference is held every five years in Luyang, and Jiang Yan also came to see the excitement five years ago.Brother Xing and Zhao Yin were both his friends at that time, but in the end only Brother Xing came with him, but Zhao Yin just said that there was nothing to see, and left them with a wave of his sleeves.Jiang Yan didn't think much about it at that time, after all, people are different in this world.Just like among his friends, some people are willing to accompany him to the martial arts conference, but they don't want to go to the northwest with him.Zhao Yin looked like a noble son, but he accompanied him to the desolate Liangzhou, but he didn't come to the martial arts conference with him, this is all human nature.

It's just that people who didn't want to come five years ago, why are they willing to come five years later?A lot of things happened around Jiang Yan recently, which made him have to think a little more. Did Zhao Yin suddenly feel that the martial arts conference was worth a visit, or was there something else hidden?

Zhao Yin glanced at him and said with a smile, "I can't help myself."

Jiang Yan looked at him.

Zhao Yin smiled wryly: "Could it be that you think that every year the martial arts conference is attended by martial arts people?"

Jiang Yan didn't understand: "Otherwise? Does it mean that there are still many people who don't know martial arts and want to join in the fun? Watch this grand event or something?"

Zhao Yin shook his head.

Shang Ning, who was on the side, suddenly said, "Yes, someone from Bianjing?"

Zhao Yin was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "I didn't see it, Jiang Yan, your junior brother is much better than you."

Only then did Jiang Yan react.

Although the martial arts conference can be regarded as meeting friends through martial arts and exchanging martial arts.But no matter what the excuses on the surface are, the final result is that a group of experts with skills far beyond ordinary people gather together, and this result, for the royal family, is obviously not a good result that they are happy to see.

It is true that a martial arts master is not an opponent of a small group of well-trained troops. After all, the people in the army are not bad at skills. If we add formation, instructions and cooperation, it is more than enough to take down a martial arts master.But the gathering of dozens of martial arts masters alone is actually nothing to be afraid of.After all, martial arts masters are usually high-minded and arrogant, and they usually don't obey anyone, let alone listen to others' orders and charge forward.And there is also a lack of tacit understanding among them, most of them can't even understand Lingqi, let alone cooperate and form formations.

But if it is in the name of the martial arts conference, it will be different.At the martial arts conference, no matter what everyone thinks, on the bright side, the martial arts leader is indeed qualified to lead everyone.If the martial arts conference was used as an excuse to gather many masters together and train in private, the consequences would be something the royal family did not want to see.

Therefore, every year at the martial arts conference, there are many visitors, and among them there must be the eyeliner of the royal family.

Jiang Yan had mixed feelings in his heart.

He didn't know whether he should be surprised by Zhao Yin's identity first, or should he praise his junior brother's thoughtfulness first, or should he laugh at himself that he is not smart enough after living for so many years?He remembered that when Shang Ning was young, he told his junior brother about the secrets of the royal family, and told him that many things might not be what he just heard.I didn't expect that now it was my turn to not understand anything.

He comes from a higher background, so he should know more about this kind of thing, but he hasn't made any progress for many years.On the contrary, Shang Ning seemed more suitable for this bowl of rice.

Jiang Yan was depressed for a while, before saying: "I really didn't expect you to be a member of the royal family."

Zhao Yin said with a smile: "I count, and I don't count."

Jiang Yan understood now: "It seems that he is not from today."

While they were talking, the singing and dancing downstairs was in full swing.The audience upstairs and downstairs shouted very loudly, and there was a lot of noise around.If it wasn't for the three of them sitting at the same table and having practiced internal strength, this soft-spoken conversation would have been overwhelmed even if they were face-to-face.Therefore, the three of them didn't play any riddles when they talked about these secrets, because it was expected that others would not be able to hear them.

Zhao Yin smiled and said: "Yes, the royal family is divided into factions just like this Jianghu. Besides—" when he said this, the song and dance had just ended, and the sound of the building suddenly fell, and the surroundings became much quieter.Zhao Yin raised his cup and smiled, and said vaguely: "If you have time to ask me here, why don't you go and take a good look at the leader of the martial arts in half a month. The demeanor of the senior is something that the younger generation can look up to."

The three of them had been eating, drinking and chatting in this cruise ship, and when the night became darker, Jiang Yan realized that the sky might be approaching midnight.He was anxious to go back, so he wanted to drag Shang Ning along.

Seeing him smile like that, Zhao Yin said: "How do you go back after this hour? Although there is no curfew in Luyang City at night, but this time it's midnight, and it's very dark outside. Even if you take a lamp, you can't wait until you go back to the inn." When is it? Why don't you just stay here for one night. "

Jiang Yan was a little hesitant, after all, this place was considered a romantic place.There are also places where you can just sleep, but they are all in the innermost place. If you walk along the way, you don't know what embarrassing things you will see or hear.It's fine for him to be alone, but there is Shang Ning by his side.

Zhao Yin smiled and said: "What's the matter? You entered this place when you were fifteen or sixteen years old, and your junior brother is also fifteen or sixteen years old, so you can't enter?"

Jiang Yan was speechless.After thinking about it, he also felt that Shang Ning was indeed too old.Where he wants to live or not, he should ask his opinion.So Jiang Yan looked up at his junior brother: "Junior brother, where do you want to live?"

Shang Ning glanced at him and said: "Then live here." After finishing speaking, he said again: "It's really late now, it's cold at night, it's not that I don't have money, and there's no need to blow against the wind for so long."

Now that the younger brother said so, Jiang Yan nodded.

Zhao Yin summoned a girl who served tea and water, and asked the other party to take the two of them to rest.

On the way through the room, the two of them passed by a special romantic place.Listening to the ambiguous, one after another small sounds coming from the rooms on both sides.Jiang Yan blushed a little rarely, but Shang Ning pulled his senior brother over without changing his expression.

The two still slept in the same room.After going to bed, Shang Ning hugged his senior brother as usual, but this time he was pushed away.

Shang Ning looked at the other party with serious eyes, and saw Jiang Yan tore open a little of his inner garment, and complained to him: "Junior Brother, don't you feel hot? You didn't realize that since the cold poison was cured, your body It’s like a round stove, and the people who are next to it are hot.”

After he finished speaking, he thought again and again: "It's still the same hello, your body is cool, and it's so comfortable to hug."

Shang Ning: "..."

He lay down on the side sullenly.

However, it has already entered autumn after all, and the pleasure boat is built by the water, so it is naturally cool at night.With the skirts torn open, Jiang Yan, who was not covered with a quilt, finally felt cold, and his body rolled spontaneously towards the stove next to him, until he was hugged by someone, then he stopped, and continued to fall asleep peacefully.
