thorns in the sky

Wei Lue still seemed to be the same, with smooth bones and skin, calm and peaceful.Liu Qi also doesn't know how Wei Lue developed this temperament, maybe reading the books of sages and sages is really useful, making the proud young man become a refined scholar.On the contrary, Liu Qi himself has read a lot of books, but his stomach is full of bad words.Wei Lue looked at Liu Qi, his eyes were still as focused as ever, like a poor child looking at a stolen treasure.

Liu Qi felt a little embarrassed when he looked at him like this, so he turned his head away and asked again: "What did you call me just now? I didn't seem to hear clearly." Wei Lue watched Liu Qi approaching, and his lips curled up slightly. Laughing: "Really? I call you 'Liu Qi'. I don't think I've ever called you like that before." Wei Lue liked to call him Xiaohou Ye before.If someone really wanted to call him Liu Qi, most of them would grit their teeth, not so calmly.Thinking of this, Wei Lue felt a little embarrassed, but more proud. He just felt that calling out the name of the young master so naturally was a great achievement he had always dreamed of.

The two walked side by side, and when Wei Lue's voice became clearer, Liu Qi really felt that Wei Lue had returned to him.The posture is very comfortable and familiar, as if they have never parted.Wei Lue's performance made Liu Qi feel at ease and happy, like getting a bowl of hot tea in winter.To put it shamelessly, Liu Qi sometimes felt that Wei Lue was born for himself, otherwise why did Wei Lue's every word and deed meet his expectations and please him?

Liu Qi's face did not show the ecstasy of reunion after a long absence, but there was a faint joy in his eyebrows and eyes, which made his snow-white complexion seem to be dyed a little pink.This expression is enough to satisfy Wei Lue.Then Wei Lue wanted to hold the slender hand in Liu Qiguang's sleeve again, but finally held back, just smiled, and heard Liu Qi ask him again: "When did you come back? You, the ambassador to see off the relatives, came, and I, the one who greeted the relatives, actually came I don’t even know, I’m really ashamed and rude!” Wei Lue then replied: “I didn’t come back as an ambassador to send off my relatives, I want to restore my original status first, so I came one step earlier than the send-off team.”

Liu Qi's superiority over Wei Lue was quietly shattered.Now he is a low-status foreigner, and he only got this seat by relying on Concubine Sin, a foreign concubine, how could he be more noble than Wei Lue.That Liu Qi was suddenly embarrassed, but his face was joyful: "That's a very good thing, this marriage has become more and more respectable." Although Liu Qi's face seemed happy, Wei Lue knew that he was unhappy when he heard this, and also frowned. He raised his eyebrows and asked in a low voice: "Are you dissatisfied with this marriage?" Liu Qi immediately looked around vigilantly, and seeing no one around, he said: "What are you talking about? This is a very decent thing. And Who am I? How can it be my turn to be satisfied or dissatisfied?" Wei Lue thought that this was in the palace, and he was really abrupt when he said such words, so he smiled apologetically.

Liu Qi turned the topic back to the safe zone: "I don't know what to call you from now on." Wei Lue said casually: "In two days, I will officially recognize my ancestors and return to my clan, and I will be considered as a member of Jianmen of Danpeng Island." Danpeng Island was originally a Dokdo Island, which has always been a battleground for military strategists. Now it belongs to the territory of Sanwei, but in fact, the lords for a hundred years are all from the Jian family.The Sanwei royal family can also rule Danpeng Island by recruiting Jianmen.Therefore, the eldest son of the Sword family has a high status in the Three Dangers.Jianjun is also of the blood of Jianmen, but unfortunately he is a slave son, and now he is doing well with Ao Huan.

Wei Lue now takes the surname of Jian, so Liu Qi asked: "Then did you change your name?" Startled, but said: "I thought you didn't like this abbreviation." Wei Lue also smiled when he heard the words: "If I don't like it, I changed it early in the morning, so I have to wait until this day?" Wei Lue was the name Liu Qi changed for him .Liu Qi thought about the origin of the word "Lue", which originally came from his nostalgia for Fu Mei.It's not that Wei Lue didn't think about changing his name when he got out of slavery, but he thought that the name was given to him by Liu Qi, and it wasn't bad at all, so he should keep it after all.

Wei Lue was so open-minded, but Liu Qi couldn't help feeling ashamed.In this life, Liu Qi has failed many people, and any victim is much worse than Wei Lue, but Liu Qi still only feels guilty towards Wei Lue.What is the reason for this, Liu Qi can't say, and he has no intention to explore.

Liu Qi suppressed the thoughts floating in his heart, pulled back to the real conversation, and asked naturally: "Looking at the importance that Ao Huan and the king place on you, you must be from the same family of Jianmen, right? But isn't the son?" Wei Luewen Yan Yi smiled: "It's hard to say, the heir of Jianmen has already been established." Although Liu Qi was a little suspicious, he didn't think that Wei Lue was really the heir of Jianmen.It turned out that Wei Lue was the eldest son of Jianmen, but unfortunately he was sold. Mrs. Jian chased him to the Central Plains to find his son.Master Jian established another son.Liu Qi only felt that he had really committed a crime and turned a very noble son into a male favorite.That Liu Qi smiled bitterly, and said: "Now that you are back, Prince Jian may not be able to sleep." Wei Lue said, "I didn't mean to tell him that he could not sleep." Liu Qi's face changed slightly, and there was a bright light in his eyes Move: "After all, we should be more vigilant."

Liu Qi had seen that Prince Jian a few times, but didn't pay much attention.Now Liu Qi suddenly kicked Shizi Jian into the list that must be eliminated.He didn't care whether Prince Jian was hostile to Wei Lue or not, after all Liu Qi was not afraid to speculate on others with the greatest malice.

After all, the palace is not a place to talk, so Wei Lue took Liu Qi back to the house for dinner.It turned out that Wei Lue's return had something to do with Jianmen, and it was a big deal for King Sanwei, not to mention that Wei Lue came back with Mrs. Jian.Mrs. Jian is also a famous queen, so don't neglect her.So the king asked Ao Huan to prepare a luxurious mansion, gold slaves and silver servants early on.

Liu Qi entered the mansion, walked on the spotlessly clean flagstone floor, said with a smile, "You really have a big face, this place is brighter than Ao Huan's mansion." Wei Lue heard this, but said, "Have you been there before?" Ao Huan's mansion?" Liu Qi was stunned for a moment, and said, "Is there any problem?" Then Wei Lue said, "I heard people say that Ao Huan has a clear distinction between public and private, and that all favors are received and sent outside, and he doesn't care about business matters." Take it home." Liu Qi chuckled and said, "It's true. It's just that my friend has no place to live, so he doesn't borrow a tile to cover his head?" Wei Lue said, "Since when did you and him become friends? Is it? I heard that you are very incompatible now, and I was about to ask you." Liu Qi was displeased.

Before Liu Qi became a ceremonial officer, there were rumors in the royal city that Liu Qi was Ao Huan's lover.Well, no one mentions it now.It turned out that Liu Qi was afraid of arousing the suspicion of Concubine Concubine Concubine, and felt that this relationship must be separated.Liu Qi is also considered an old man, knowing that clarifying and refuting rumors are useless.

The best way to cover up a rumor is to create a fresher and more interesting one.

So Liu Qi had people spread the word that he had an affair with Ao Huan's wife and concubine when he was temporarily staying in Ao Huan's mansion, and when Ao Huan found out, Liu Qi moved out safely.Unexpectedly, Ao Huan liked to share with his friends, so he often took people to Liu Qi's house to play.Later, Liu Qi took a fancy to Wei Amei, who was the most favored in Ao Huan's backyard, and wanted to elope with Wei Amei.So they fell out with Ao Huan.Now everyone thinks that Wei Amei was shared by Ao Huan, and Liu Qi and Ao Huan fell out, but it is not believed that Ao Huan and Liu Qi are having an affair.After all, Ao Huan rarely has sex with men, and in Sanwei, sharing is also a tradition.

Ao Huan knew all these things, but he really didn't bother to deal with them.Wei Amei complained to Ao Huan, but Ao Huan said instead: "Didn't you say that he sold ass first? I told you to stop talking, and you never listened. This time you hit a nail?" It turns out that Liu Qi is Ao Huan's male favorite The matter was spread by Wei Amei, so Liu Qi pulled her into this story.Ami has nothing to say about this.

Naturally, Wei Lue had also heard about this matter, and of course he did not believe that Liu Qi had an affair with Wei Amei.After all, Liu Qi is a very staunch homosexual.But Wei Lue was not suspicious of Liu Qi and Ao Huan, because the fact before him was that Liu Qi followed Concubine Sin, and Ao Huan was at odds with each other.But Wei Lue still couldn't help asking: "Why are you and Wei Amei mentioned? Such an invisible thing?" Liu Qi knew that Wei Lue would always ask, and he prepared the answer in his heart: "No No one. When I was staying at Ao Huan's place, Wei Amei and Wei Amei hung out every day. I don't think they have any taboos, and I don't bother to avoid suspicion. No one said it. After I left the house, they said Get up. I see that Wei Amei has a fiery personality and loves to pick things up. Maybe she offended a concubine and was plotted against." Wei Lue said: "You too, why are you so noisy with Ao Huan?"

Liu Qi smiled and said: "Why didn't you ask him? It must be my fault?" Wei Lue laughed: "The so-called difference between closeness and closeness, I naturally asked you first, and then asked him." Liu Qi also laughed He said: "He has been with you since childhood, and he has always devoted himself to you. He must be closer to you." Wei Lue took Liu Qi into the living room, asked him to sit down, and smiled: "I don't understand. Why do you sound like you are jealous of him."

But Liu Qi said: "I've never been jealous." Hearing this, Wei Lue felt a little sad.Then Liu Qi said to Wei Lue: "But I should explain this to you now. You should have thought about who is closer, you or him, or me. After all, I am with the concubine sin. Ao Huan and Ao Huan are incompatible." Wei Lue was taken aback when he heard the words: "You really chose Concubine Concubine?" Liu Qi smiled helplessly: "I don't have a choice."

Wei Lue disagreed: "Why can't you choose? Ao Huan promised me before the trip, and he will guarantee your future in Sanwei in the future. I think you have misunderstood something." Turning around, he sneered and said, "Oh? Before we left, the two of you agreed to put me in danger?" Wei Lue felt a little guilty when he questioned him like this, but he still answered calmly: "I said But I didn't mean to force you, this is what I mean. But Ao Huan is right, you have no future in the Central Plains, and you will choose to come to Sanwei in the end." Liu Qi had to agree with this, and left After saying this, he said: "You two are good brothers. If you choose to stand by him, I will not blame you." Wei Lue sighed soothingly: "Why do I have to choose between you two?" I really don’t understand you! Didn’t you suffer enough from the Empress Dowager, and you chose to cater to the women in the deep palace again when you came to Sanji? Another level, the Empress Dowager doesn’t last long, let alone the sinful concubine Yes. The empress dowager is the emperor's aunt and the official palace inside, and there are brothers who are officials outside. What is the origin of this sinful concubine? This "sin" was given to her by the emperor to warn her. Even if she is favored for a while , It won’t be too long, and you choose to rely on her, isn’t it short-sighted?” How could Liu Qi not understand these truths, but Liu Qi couldn’t tell Wei Lueming, so he just sighed: “In my life, I can only walk through thorns and thorns. road."
