Herding sheep on Zha Gong's head

After saying that, Xiaobai immediately lowered his eyes, and quietly covered his curly and slender black eyelashes, revealing a docile and obedient appearance.

The blue butterfly pierced Xiaobai's wrist, the pain on the surface is not too much, compared to the meaning of the pattern, the pain of the needle prick is actually insignificant.

There was no resistance again, and he looked like he was resigned to his fate. If he let this person commit suicide immediately, he would definitely not resist.

Chu Fengxi's phalanges tightened unconsciously, he stared for a moment, and said another inexplicable sentence: "If you don't want to go, you can say it now, and this king can send you back."

As long as Xiaobai opens his mouth, Chu Fengxi feels that he can even give up the plan of giving Xiaobai to Xie Hongyuan.

How Xie Hongyuan behaves, Chu Fengxie is very clear, he and the second prince Chu Yan have long had old grievances, he is a very principled man, he will not treat the second prince any differently because he is a cousin of the second prince.

The news he got, the second prince sent a post to Xie Hongyuan's residence, inviting him to a private gathering, but Xie Hongyuan prevaricated it back with various excuses.

On the contrary, Xie Hongyuan took the initiative to show closeness to him. That person is not someone who knows how to play tricks in secret. Whatever happens, he just puts it on the table. Whether he likes it or not, it is very obvious. He guards the western border. Fending off powerful enemies, he has made great achievements in battle, and he never takes credit for it. When the battle ceases, if the superiors ask him to hand over military power, he will never say anything. This attitude makes him have a bad temper, and he does not pretend to be false with others, but he is not serious. with whom.

Even if he didn't try to win over Xie Hongyuan deliberately, Xie Hongyuan would not have any rebellious intentions when he was on the grand ceremony in the future, and would continue to guard the frontier. Xie Hongyuan's loyalty was to the country surnamed Chu.

This is not a necessary method, it's just that Xiaobai is in his house, he always pursues to make the best use of everything, since the other party exists, then he should use his effectiveness at any time.

Besides, from a certain point of view, Chu Fengxi didn't want Xiaobai to stay in the palace, and the throbbing in his heart would take a break when the other party left.

Only by constantly sending people away can he have an excuse to remind himself that the boy is a tool of his, used to extract value, and should not really enter his heart, or even affect him.

Xiaobai leaned against his head, so he couldn't see the expression on Chu Fengxi's face at this time, let alone see it. For a moment, Chu Fengxi's eyes suddenly tightened. It was a dangerous look, as if at any time. Xiaobai must be swallowed up.

Xiaobai clutched the hem of his clothes tightly with both hands, and said in a calm voice: "I want to go...I want to share your Highness's worries."

Chu Fengxi looked at the kneeling young man in front of him, this was what was in his heart, and Chu Fengxi knew it well.

He gave the other party a chance, but the young man didn't seize it. During the period of silence, Chu Fengxi realized that his thoughts were almost out of control. Perhaps from the very beginning, he shouldn't have kept this person from the small hall. Rescue him, let the opponent be ridden by thousands of people, until now, if his value is used up, it may be difficult for him to attack him.

Chu Fengxi moved his savvy eyes away from Xiaobai, and he looked straight ahead, at the car curtain that was swinging as the wheels rolled.

The voice was a little bit colder than before.

"... There are still many places where you can be used, don't worry."

Xiaobai's eyes fluctuated violently at Chu Fengxie's words.

"Get up, it's cold on the ground." Chu Fengxie then said, obediently, it seemed that he was concerned about Xiaobai.

But when Xiaobai really stood up and looked at Chu Fengxie, he could not see any concern or warmth in the man's eyes, but only a heart-pounding indifference. The other party looked at him like Is looking at an inanimate object.

Xiaobai lowered his eyes.

The wheels rolled, and there was no voice in the carriage since then, the air was frozen and dull, until Xie Hongyuan's residence.

The time was agreed in advance, Xie Hongyuan reckoned that Chu Fengxie would come at this time, he came out of the mansion a little earlier, and waited outside the gate of the general's mansion.

From a distance, the sound of wheels crushing the stone surface was heard. Xie Hongyuan looked towards the place where the sound came from, and a relatively ordinary carriage slowly approached from a distance in his vision.

It was not Chu Fengxie's special vehicle, it was probably for keeping a low profile. Xie Hongyuan took two steps forward, waiting eagerly.

The carriage stopped in front of Xie Hongyuan, the driver jumped out of the carriage, took a footstool and placed it on the ground, then leaned over and raised the curtain.

A handsome young man dressed in Chu Hong got out of the carriage.

Xie Hongyuan raised his steps again, walked straight in front of Chu Fengxie, clasped his fists in both hands, stood in front of his chest, with a tall and straight figure, and with a loud voice, he gave a courtier's salute: "Third Highness."

It has been almost a year since the two of them met last time. Xie Hongyuan has been stationed in the frontier all year round and rarely comes back, but his appearance seems to be the same as before, except that his temperament seems to be more determined.

"En." Chu Fengxi slightly nodded.

"Please." Xie Hongyuan turned sideways, raised his right arm obliquely towards the direction of his mansion, and just took a step forward when he found that Chu Fengxi was standing there, showing no sign of leaving, and even looked towards the direction of the carriage again. It seems that there is something special there.

Xie Hongyuan followed and looked over, a little surprised in his heart when he saw it.

I saw a beautiful young man in a blue shirt bowing out of the carriage, stepping on the footstool, with a weak figure and a complexion as white as jade.

The young man got off the carriage, raised his eyes and saw that the people around him were all looking at him, his face suddenly felt a little ashamed, he lowered his eyes, and walked quickly behind Chu Fengxie.

Xie Hongyuan originally thought that Chu Fengzhi might introduce this strange-looking young man to him, but Chu Fengzhi turned his head, walked past Xie Hongyuan, and went straight up the steps first.

Chu Fengxi didn't introduce the other party, Xie Hongyuan also suppressed his curiosity for a while, although he was curious, he didn't have to find out.

Look at the young man's temperament, clean and clear, so different from the pets Xie Hongyuan saw from other people in the past, he clearly looks like a son of an aristocratic family.

The reason why Xiaobai is directly attributed to Chu Fengxie's pampering is that if Xiaobai is really Chu Fengxie's subordinate, it is impossible for Chu Fengxi not to introduce someone, but at Xiaobai's age, most of the disciples of the aristocratic family in Beijing, Xie Hongyuan know.

Among the group of people, Chu Fengxie walked in the front, and the people behind entered the general's mansion one by one, and the heavy iron gate of the mansion was slowly closed.

It was just a private gathering, Xie Hongyuan took Chu Fengxi to the main hall, and dispersed the extra people.

Then he ordered the kitchen to bring up all the food. The food had already been prepared, and the servants quickly brought the food up.

"You don't need to wait here, let's all go down." After the table was full of food, Xie Hongyuan asked the people waiting on the side to leave.

It even made people close the door.

Chu Fengxie had the most honorable status, so naturally he sat on the top seat, Xie Hongyuan knelt on the side, and Xiaobai stood on the side.

Xie Hongyuan took the wine bottle, first filled Chu Fengxie with wine, and then filled the glass in front of him with wine.

Raised it up to respect Chu Fengxi, without too much courtesy, just one word: "Please."

Chu Fengxi picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.

Putting down the cup, some smiles appeared on Xie Hongyuan's face.

"...Originally planned to invite Master Xu to come, and sent someone to send the post, but he suddenly said that there is something temporary. I saw him a few days ago, and I felt that his expression was a little different from usual, as if there was something hidden. In my heart, His Highness has been in the capital, so we know that he has encountered any difficulties?"

Xie Hongyuan is a martial artist at any time, and has never lacked the ability to observe words and emotions. His relationship with Xu Ling'an is even deeper. Among the dignitaries in Beijing, he can talk to him and make him willing to make friends with him. countable.

Therefore, seeing that there was something wrong with Xu Ling'an, he asked Chu Fengxi, if he could help Xu Ling'an, it would be great.

"The king sent a piece of porcelain to Xu Ling'an some time ago. He seemed to like that piece of porcelain very much, but it seemed to be accidentally broken later. You have a close relationship with him, and you know what kind of person he is, and he treats everything, even if it is nothing. Life, once you like it, it's hard to let go." Chu Fengxie said as he squinted at Xiaobai who was standing beside him, the young man lowered his eyes, so he couldn't see his expression at this time, but Chu Fengxie clearly sensed it. Upon hearing this, Xiaobai's body stiffened for a moment.

"Is that so? It's just a piece of jade, just find another one like it." Xie Hongyuan said.

"There is only one jade piece in the world, there will be no second one." Chu Fengxie looked at Xie Hongyuan's empty wine glass, and gave Xiaobai a look.

Xiaobai stepped forward, walked to the right side of Xie Hongyuan's body, bent down, stretched out his hand, held the wine bottle in both hands, and filled the empty glass in front of Xie Hongyuan. During this process, his right wrist was naturally exposed, the wrist bone A blue tattoo on the inside became particularly eye-catching.

Xie Hongyuan saw something abnormal out of the corner of his eye, turned his gaze away, and the next moment, his eyes stopped on Xiaobai's wrist.

And after Xiaobai filled Xie Hongyuan with wine, he left silently, went to Chu Fengxie, and poured wine for Chu Fengxie, as if he didn't notice Xie Hongyuan's eyes suddenly fixed on his hand. Fu showed up again.

The blue butterfly tattoo leaped into Xie Hongyuan's sight again, with an irresistible tendency, it crashed into his heart in an instant.

He just came back from Lan Die's grave the day before yesterday, and it took more than a day to put away his depressed mood, but unexpectedly saw the tattoo representing Lan Die's name here, he raised his eyes subconsciously, and went to see Chu Fengxie , the latter is holding up the wine glass, and there is no abnormality on his face, and the blue-clothed boy next to him, even after pouring the wine, retreated to the back spontaneously, without any unnecessary movements, as if he did not realize it at all. What an influence he had on him.

Xie Hongyuan's eyes turned cold in an instant. He pinched the cup full of sake, exerted force on his knuckles, and the blue veins on the back of his hand showed signs of bulging.

Suddenly, an inexplicable silence spread, Chu Fengxi raised his eyes to look at Xie Hongyuan who was opposite, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Both tone and face are puzzled.

Xie Hongyuan let out a breath slowly, drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, put it in the glass, he couldn't control the strength in his hand, and made a sudden and crisp sound.

"No, it's nothing." Xie Hongyuan turned his mind several times in an instant. Naturally, he would not think that this was done on purpose by Chu Fengxi, after all, the other party had no reason to do so.

Seeing that Xie Hongyuan didn't want to say more, Chu Fengxi didn't continue to ask.

Changed the topic: "This time your mother's birthday, or the same as in previous years, do not invite other people?"

Xie Hongyuan nodded: "Of course, mother likes to be quiet." There are too many people, but it is not suitable.

"That's right." Chu Fengxi smiled slightly.

Xie Hongyuan is not a man of few words, but because he accidentally saw a pattern about a blue butterfly, his mood fluctuated instantly, and he stopped talking for a while, and only focused on drinking, occasionally talking to Chu Fengxi, the cup It was too young to drink well, so Xie Hongyuan simply took out the bottle and drank directly.

Not long after, many empty wine bottles were poured all over the table.

"General Xie?" Chu Fengxi rested his arm on the desk, rubbed the glass wall in his hand with his fingertips, and called Xie Hongyuan who was opposite.

The voice was not low, but Xie Hongyuan was already drunk, and it took him a while to respond.

"What? Your Highness, what did you just say?" Xie Hongyuan's eyes were drunk, and there was a smile on his face, but there was a growing pain slowly surfacing in his eyes.

Chu Fengxi took his hand away from the wine glass, he got up and left the seat, and the sight overlooking Xie Hongyuan lost the warmth just now, and became as dark and waveless as an ancient well.

"Don't help General Xie go to the house to rest." Chu Fengxi said to Xiaobai.

Xiaobai walked over from the side, came to Xie Hongyuan's side, bent down and stretched out his arms to help him, just as his right hand reached Xie Hongyuan, Xie Hongyuan grabbed him.

"Why do you have this pattern on your hand? Who are you?" Half drunk, Xie Hongyuan tightly grasped the wrist in front of him, and with a sudden force in his palm, he pulled Xiaobai to his face, and Xiaobai supported him with one hand. On the desk, cast a glance at Chu Fengxie, Chu Fengxie looked at him coldly, her thin lips pursed into a distant arc.

"General Xie, you are drunk, go to the house." Xiaobai struggled, trying to pull his arm out, but as soon as he moved, Xie Hongyuan's strength increased, and in an instant, Xiaobai's white wrist Caught red.

"You haven't answered my question just now." Xie Hongyuan, who got himself drunk, seemed to have become another person in an instant, obsessed with wanting an answer.

Xiaobai instinctively said that Chu Fengxi had someone tattoo him. Judging from Xie Hongyuan's sudden change in attitude, this blue butterfly tattoo must have a special meaning to him.

But he also wants to weave a lie, because as long as one lie is told, then many other lies will be used to complete that one.

And without waiting for Xiaobai to explain the origin of the butterfly tattoo, Xie Hongyuan spontaneously found an explanation for him.

"Is it you, Lan Die? You came back to see me, didn't you?" The sadness on Xie Hongyuan's face quickly dissipated in an instant, replaced by a joyful eagerness.

"General, you mistaken me, I am not Lan Die, my name is Fu Yue." Xiao Bai corrected Xie Hongyuan.

Xie Hongyuan was already drunk, so he didn't care what Xiaobai said, he raised his other hand, grabbed Xiaobai's hand that was propped on the table, and pulled him into his arms.

Wrapping his arms around the back of the boy in his arms, Xie Hongyuan only had Xiaobai's blue shirt in his eyes at this time, and the butterfly tattoo on his wrist, all of which touched his heart intuitively.

"I knew it was you, thank you for coming back, don't leave again, I will go and tell my mother tomorrow to arrange our marriage, I want to marry you, Lan Die, I want to marry you." Xie Hongyuan hugged Xiaobai tightly In his arms, he told him what he had been pressing in his heart all this time, which he had never said to the man in the grave who had become a pile of bones.

Xiaobai struggled slightly, and was immediately hugged even tighter by Xie Hongyuan.

Standing on one side, Chu Fengxie saw that Xie Hongyuan was so drunk that he regarded Xiaobai as a blue butterfly, stared at the two hugged together for a moment, then turned around and walked out of the room.

The carriage stopped outside the general's mansion, and Chu Fengxie was sent to the door by Xie Hongyuan's guards. Before leaving, Chu Fengxie told them not to go in and disturb Xie Hongyuan.

People in the house were curious that Chu Fengxi should have entered with two people, but only one person came out.

Someone recalled the appearance of another person, which many women could not beat. Since it was brought by Chu Fengxi, it is not for people of their status to say whether the other person followed or stayed in the general's mansion. of.

So that night, Xiaobai stayed in the General's Mansion, and Xie Hongyuan regarded him as another person, and lingered in the couch.

Wine is good wine, so the next day, Xie Hongyuan woke up early without much aftereffects or hangover.

Before opening his eyes, he felt an overly soft body in his arms. He was startled, opened his eyes, lifted the quilt and looked down. He saw a delicate and beautiful face. The boy closed his eyes tightly. , with a slight frown between the brows, it can be seen that they did not sleep peacefully, Xie Hongyuan knew through the skin touching each other that both of them were beautiful, the young man's eyes were red, and some obvious tears could be seen faintly on his cheeks.

As for the body, there were some eye-catching traces. The memory of last night's drunkenness suddenly returned to Xie Hongyuan's brain. His body moved slightly, but in the next moment, he suddenly stopped moving.After knowing that he was trapped in a warm place, this movement was unexpectedly stimulated again, Xie Hongyuan's face was shocked suddenly, it was hard to believe that he would actually do such an act of coercing others.

Carefully getting up, Xie Hongyuan quickly put on his clothes, called someone outside the house, and asked him about what happened last night.

When asked about Chu Fengxie, the servants only said that the third prince left alone, and told them not to enter the house to disturb him.

Xie Hongyuan stood in front of his room, the person in the room belonged to the third prince, and being slept by him like this was equivalent to snatching someone from the third prince.

But the third prince left directly last night. If he really cared about this person, he would definitely take him with him and leave him behind. He didn't express his true meaning clearly, but he made it clear that he was giving him away.

Xie Hongyuan raised his arm, clenched his hand into a fist, pressed it against his lips and thought for a moment, the thing had already happened, if he said nothing happened, obviously he couldn't hide it.

He is not someone who can escape, since he touched the other party, he has to bear this responsibility. As for the third prince, he still has to talk about it.

Xie Hongyuan asked his servants to boil the bath water. He mistook the person last night, lost control for a while, rolled over with his arms around him several times, and fell asleep behind him, but he didn't clean it up, which made him suffer a lot.

After the water was boiled, the servants carried the bathtub to the house. Xie Hongyuan's body was sticky, but he didn't wash it himself first, but turned around and carried the person who hadn't woken up into the bathtub. He cleaned it up without anyone else's hands. Finally, wrap it in a bath towel and put it back on the couch with a new bedding.Then he changed another bucket of water to wash his body.

"When the person wakes up, notify me in time." Xie Hongyuan lowered the curtain to cover the young man lying inside, and turned to the next person.

"Yes, General." The servant bowed and agreed.

His mother is happy, and the place where he lives is a little far from Xie Hongyuan's dormitory. Xie Hongyuan told his mother about the third prince, but the other party didn't know what happened afterwards. If you stay here, you should inform your mother.

But when talking about it, Xie Hongyuan omitted that Xiaobai was the third prince, and only said that the other party's eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Lan Die, so he put him by his side, and his mother knew that he had a deep affection for Lan Die. offered to give it away, but Xie Hongyuan directly refused.

Now that Xie Hongyuan took the initiative to mention it, his mother naturally did not object, even if she knew that it was a man, she hoped that Xie Hongyuan was safe and healthy, and others, such as children, did not care so much.

When Xie Hongyuan came out of his mother's room, someone came quickly from a distance and told him that Xiaobai had woken up.

Hurrying back to the dormitory, Xie Hongyuan walked to the door, suddenly stopped, he felt a little hesitant for a while, he remembered that the boy rejected him at the beginning last night, but he couldn't hold back his strength and passively endured it. Everything, sobbing and choking in a low voice, tears falling down the eyes, all in exchange for being treated more rudely by myself.

Taking a deep breath, he would rather face a strong enemy with a knife than face such an unprecedented situation.

But the house is still close.

Xie Hongyuan asked his servants to wait outside, and pushed open the door. The person in the couch had already put on his clothes and was sitting on the chair on the left. Hearing the sound of the door opening, he subconsciously wanted to get up.

But followed by a jerk of his body, he fell down and sat down, and then that pale face became even whiter, which aroused boundless pity for no reason.

Xie Hongyuan stepped forward a few steps, grabbed Xiaobai's hand, and said urgently, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

As soon as he asked this question, Xiaobai's pale face quickly turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Xiaobai bit his lower lip, and with a flick of his wrist, he broke free from Xie Hongyuan's restraint.

He propped himself on the table and did not look at Xie Hongyuan. His eyes were red, as if he was about to cry at any moment. After walking two steps, his knees suddenly gave way and his body was about to fall down.

Xie Hongyuan has sharp eyesight and quick hands, catching Xiaobai's thin body that seems to be blown away by the autumn wind.

"Last night... What happened last night was my fault. I sent someone to the third prince's mansion and asked him to send you to me. I will be responsible for this matter." Xie Hongyuan put his arms around him and put him back on the chair.

Seeing that there was no sign of relief in Xiaobai's face, he called his servants in and ordered them to bring a cushion.
