It's better to fall in love than seize the heir

Liang Yan opened his eyes and found himself in a deserted mountain.

In the distance was an overturned carriage, the bodies of the coachman and attendants fell to the ground in disarray, and the blood that hadn't dried yet gurgled and spread among the soil.The carriage covered with sword marks has traces of rummaging in a mess, and looking at the indentations of the grass, it seems that someone has just left in a hurry.

Is it a dream?

Liang Yan frowned, his deep eyes surveyed the silent surroundings calmly.Not long after he fell asleep with Shen Jinghe in his arms, he suddenly found himself here for some reason.Apart from the dream, there seems to be no other explanation.

However, the sound of the wind, the smell of blood, and the solid ground under his feet all showed that this dream was so real that it was a bit weird.

Liang Yan walked to the side of the carriage, and with a glance, he knew that the person lying on the ground was dead.He looked up at the sky, chose a direction according to his intuition, and walked quickly without saying a word.

Since it is a dream, when it is time to wake up, you will always wake up.

Liang Yan's footsteps were so light that he could barely hear him, but all his senses were paying attention to the movement around him.After walking for a while, he stopped suddenly and looked at a haystack vigilantly.

It happened that there was a wind blowing, and the grass shook and made a rustling sound, but a piece of white clothes flickered faintly.Liang Yan should have ignored it and moved on, but there was an inexplicable feeling in his heart that drove him to walk there cautiously.

wow-

The moment he brushed aside the grass, a short dagger was already on his chest.Liang Yan could have easily snatched the dagger with his backhand and knocked the man to the ground, but looking at the dust-stained face in front of him, who was only seven or eight years old, he was so shocked that he didn't want to make any resistance at all.

"My cousin's manpower is really extraordinary, and he caught up so quickly...cough." The voice was a little difficult due to lack of strength, and the coughing made the already sickly face even paler, "I have two choices for you, either, we You are not [-]% sure that you can kill me, but I am absolutely sure that you will be stabbed by my dagger. Or, submit to me, and I will give you three times all the conditions offered by my cousin!"

The childish hand holding the dagger was trembling due to weakness, but the pair of shining eyes on the pale face shone with determination and coldness. The courage and calmness that this age should not have made the face stained with blood and gravel Eye-catching beauty bursts out.

Liang Yan stared blankly at the all-too-familiar miniature face in front of him, letting the sharp dagger hit the vitals of his chest through the thin clothes, but he caressed his cool face with trembling hands.

"Little Crane..."

The dagger on his chest was lowered by two points threateningly, but Liang Yan didn't care about this sharp weapon that could kill him at any time.He looked at the confusion and alertness that flashed in the eyes of the childish child in front of him, and he felt a turbulent wave in his heart.

--what on earth is it?Why did he see the childhood Shen Jinghe in his dream?And... There is always a vague feeling in his heart, as if the person in front of him is the Shen Jinghe he knows, but it is not the Shen Jinghe he knows.

"Who...cough, who allowed you to call my young master's name?" Shen Jinghe was a little annoyed, he could have taken advantage of the moment when the strange man in front of him was stupefied, stabbed the dagger into his chest, pushed him away and continued to escape.But that hand seemed to be filled with lead, it was only three inches away, but somehow he didn't want to move any more.

Hearing the sound of coughing, the man let go of his hands on his back and breathed gently as if awakened with a start.There was worry in his stern eyes that was almost overflowing, and he spoke in a very soft voice.

"What's the matter? You seem to be very weak... Did the wind blow just now?" He thought of something, his eyes changed, and his body exuded a dangerous coldness, "The carriage just now belonged to you? Someone is chasing you kill you?"

baffling!

Shen Jinghe waved his hand away, and his small body shrank back warily.Ignoring the faint disappointment at the moment when Nuan Nuan's big hand left, Shen Jinghe struggled to prop up his upper body with his hands, and mockery appeared in his eyes.

"Don't pretend to be stupid! The ills I brought from my mother's womb, as well as the distress on the way today, which one was not done by your master? You can kill if you want, why are you still pretending to be here and teasing me!"

Liang Yan saw the dark eyes on his young face that were incompatible with his immature age, and the heartache that filled his chest instantly took away his ability to speak.At the age of seven or eight, he should still be coquettish and laughing in the arms of his parents, but those eyes seem to have seen all the ups and downs of the world. Is the price of precocity and prematurity the life and death danger of being plotted by the closest relatives again and again? ?

Silently, he stretched out his hand and gently pulled the arm with the bleeding sword wound. He didn't even look at the dagger that was pressed against his throat for a moment, and tore off a white cloth from his middle coat, and carefully and gently wrapped it up along the wound.

"I don't have any master. I ran into you because I passed by by chance, and I was destined to meet again." The voice was deep and mellow, with obvious distress, "Where should I send you back? Madam Qi's place?"

Shen Jinghe had been staring blankly at the man bandaging his wound full of pity, but upon hearing that, he frowned and asked, "Madam Qi? Who is it?"

Liang Yan was taken aback by the moving hand, and a faint premonition came to his mind: "Of course it's your mother... This, isn't this Jiangnan?"

Until entering Beijing at the age of 16, Shen Jinghe lived in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River with his biological mother, Mrs. Qi.This point, anyone who knows the life experience of the sixth prince is very clear.

"What nonsense are you talking about? My mother's surname is not Qi." When the word "mother" was mentioned, Shen Jinghe's eyes dimmed, and they were quickly hidden again. "As for Jiangnan, it's even more ridiculous. You don't know yourself Are you stepping on the land of Shengjing? It is thousands of miles away from the south of the Yangtze River, and it will take a few days to reach it on a fast horse."

Liang Yan's pupils dilated slightly, filled with shock.Seeing him like this, Shen Jinghe felt a little awkward for some reason.

"Cough... since you know my name, don't you know who I am?" The young and proud face looked up, the eyes met, and each word was paused, "Nine generations of public officials, from a family of hairpin tassels, Sheng The only sons of the Patriarch of the Jingshen family—Shen, Jing, and He."

Liang Yan couldn't speak for a long time—so, is he really in another world?But in this world that is completely opposite to his cognition, why is there a Shen Jinghe who looks exactly the same?

Looking at the man in front of him who was so surprised that he almost petrified, Shen Jinghe was silent for a moment, then slowly removed the dagger from his throat, but still held it in his hand defensively.

"Forget it, you don't understand anything, my cousin is not stupid enough to send such a person to chase me down." Shen Jinghe stared blankly at the carefully bandaged wound for a while, pursing his lips , whispered three words, "...Thank you."

Liang Yan finally came back to his senses, and looked at this little figure who was pretending to be calm to hide his embarrassment with complicated eyes.His mind was full of thoughts, but in the dark, he felt that the Shen Jinghe in front of him was still his Shen Jinghe.

The big hand fell on the top of the hair skillfully and naturally, and stroked it a few times.Shen Jinghe turned away uncomfortably and hid twice, but did not dodge, and wanted to reprimand that person for daring to do such a thing to the young master of the Shen family, but felt that the person in front of him was so familiar that he seemed to have done it thousands of times With such a move, the open mouth was inexplicably closed.

"Come on, I'll take you back."

Liang Yan straightened up, turned around and half-kneeled on the ground, exposing his broad and strong shoulders.The temperament of the man's body is obviously as sharp and upright as a sword, but when he willingly bends his back, it makes people feel moved by being wholeheartedly loyal.With the sword back in its sheath, it only kills the enemy, not the master.

Shen Jinghe didn't hesitate for a long time before getting up and climbing onto the man's back.In the wilderness and mountains, the pursuers are coming at any time, his young body is injured and exhausted, he can't think of any other way to survive except temporarily trusting this man who is so kind to him for some reason.

Feeling that there was a small, light body on his back, Liang Yan involuntarily pulled the thin arm that was dangling from his shoulders to him, so that the person on his back could hold his neck and sit more stably.

When he stood up, the people behind him pressed closer nervously due to the sudden change in height.Liang Yan turned his head, a trace of tenderness floated in his eyes, but his voice was as solemn and loyal as an oath.

"Don't be afraid, I will protect you. With me here, you will not suffer the slightest harm."

Shen Jinghe didn't speak, the warm and reliable shoulders actually gave him an illusion of peace of mind.He closed his eyes and slowly adjusted his breathing, relaxing his tense nerves that were almost broken, and tentatively put his face on the man's shoulder.

There seemed to be a vague chuckle coming from in front of him.

The man's steps are very steady, and will not make the person on his back feel any discomfort, but his forward speed is not slow at all.In the slight shaking, Shen Jinghe almost violated the almost instinctive habit of guarding in his heart, and drowsiness gradually appeared in his mind.

At this moment, an unusual sound of wind suddenly passed behind him.Only then did Shen Jinghe open his eyes vigilantly, but the man who was carrying him was already dodging sideways as quickly as lightning, and his toes pressed against the ground broke a long deep mark on the ground.

A sneak attack with a sword failed, and the black-clothed person landed a few steps in front of them, narrowing his eyes.With two swishes, two men in black also wearing masks descended from the sky after him.

The leader of the man in black looked at them, and said hoarsely: "Young master, I think you are young and not weak. It would be a pity to lose your life here. If you let go of the person on your back and leave quickly, I can save your life."

Liang Yan raised his eyes, glanced at the person in front of him lightly, and slowly lowered the person on his back as he said.

Before Shen Jinghe was filled with disappointment and sadness, Liang Yan suddenly turned into an afterimage and flew towards the enemy at a speed beyond his sight.No one could see his movement clearly, only two muffled groans were heard, and the two men in black who had just stood firmly on the ground clutched their necks that had been twisted by the blow, and fell down limply.

When he stood in front of the pale-faced leader in black, Liang Yan already had a long sword in his hand.

He sneered, bloodthirsty desire rolled in his deep black eyes, and he slowly moved the blade of the sword that flashed coldly across the opponent's neck.The movement of raising his hand was light and slow, but the man in black, who was locked on by the dark and cold eyes, found in horror that he had no way to resist at all.

"You want to kill him?"

The man in black trembled and opened his mouth, the great fear of imminent death made him unable to even utter the words of begging for mercy.

Liang Yan wasn't even half interested in the dead man's answer. He covered the eyes of the child behind him with one hand, while the other hand brushed across his neck resolutely.The thin bloodstains were barely visible between the skin and flesh, but the figure in black fell back heavily in the next second, and the weapon in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.

Flicking the blood beads on the blade coldly, Liang Yan threw the sword casually, and then let go of the hand that had been covering Shen Jinghe's eyes.

Withdrawing the warm palm, the eyes that came out of the darkness blinked, and the eyelashes trembled slightly.Shen Jinghe raised his head to look at the half-crouched man who was still taller than himself, and remained silent for a long time.

"...I've seen it a long time ago." The voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.

Liang Yan couldn't help stretching out his hand to pinch his fair and tender face, with a gentle voice.

"You shouldn't see me at such a young age." After a pause, his voice was tainted with more complicated emotions, "I hope you don't have to see me in the future."

Shen Jinghe didn't say anything more, Zaohui's eyes showed a little bit of bewilderment and helplessness for the first time, unlike ordinary children.The obsidian-like pupils have washed away the lead of the world, and finally revealed the appearance that a child should have.

When climbing up the reassuring shoulders again, Shen Jinghe quietly and proactively wrapped his arms around his neck without waiting for the person to say more, in exchange for another doting smile from the person in front of him.

The slight shaking made Shen Jinghe, who had been holding on to his spirits, finally couldn't help but close his eyes, and when he completely sank into a rare peaceful sleep, only the last thought faintly flashed through his mind.

If only you would show up sooner.

At the end of the bustling street is a majestic mansion, with Danying carvings, stacked pavilions, and the light reflected by gold and jade is dazzling.

"Are you really not going back home with me?" Shen Jinghe pursed her lips, turned to look at the man who was holding her hand, "You saved me, I can give you gold and silver, status, and reputation , give you everything you want."

Liang Yan who stopped in front of the long street was stunned for a moment, then half-kneeled down, looked down gently, and stroked the top of his hair with the other hand.

"But, I just want you to be well."

——Then, wait for me, wait for me to come to you.

The small figure froze.

Liang Yan's gentle voice continued, his eyes fixed on him, and the words he spoke were like blessings, promises, and prophecies.

"You will go through all the wind and frost, step on all the mountains, your wisdom, your tenacity, and your determination will one day make you firmly grasp your own destiny. You will make close friends and meet trustworthy people. My dear, there is one more person..."

He paused, there was something in the gentle eyes that the current Shen Jinghe still couldn't understand.

"There is another person who will cross mountains and seas, a long time, and everything impossible to come to you and love you."

Shen Jinghe slowly raised his head, wanting to say that he was unbelievable, wanting to say that he was ridiculous, but the sore corners of his eyes made him only able to ask one sentence.

"I don't know your name yet."

"Liang Yan."

Liang Yan answered simply, with a slight smile, "My name is Liang Yan. When you see me again, you must remember me."

The young figure silently repeated it first, then raised his eyes, and solemnly called out his name.

"Liang Yan..."

"Liang Yan!"

The weight on his body could be heard clearly, Liang Yan opened his eyes suddenly, and the first thing he saw was an incomparably handsome face, with worry and concern written all over his face, one hand was still placed on his forehead to test the temperature .

Seeing him waking up, Shen Jinghe finally breathed a sigh of relief, and sat up straight with his chest supported, "You scared me to death just now, and you couldn't wake up with your eyes closed. I thought you were sick..."

Before he finished speaking, the lying man suddenly grabbed him by the waist and dragged him down without any warning. dance.Shen Jinghe's eyes widened in surprise, but he was soon lost in his lover's fiery enthusiasm, his passionate eyes were slightly moist.

"Hmm..." Finally, Shen Jinghe tilted his head back slightly from the gap between the kisses, and Shen Jinghe gasped lightly, his messy hair flicked past his reddened ears, "Why did you wake up so early in the morning... last night? Isn't it enough?"

Liang Yan's eyes darkened again, but he just quietly hugged her into his arms, his five fingers separated and brushed through the black and smooth hair, and gently combed it all the way to the end.

May I ask?OK.But he didn't want to ask.

All he knew, cared about, and cared about was that what he was holding in his arms at this moment was the love of his life.

"What's the matter?" Sensing Liang Yan's quietness, Shen Jinghe raised his head from the posture lying on him, resting his chin on his shoulder, his bright black eyes sparkled with curiosity.

"It's nothing. I had a dream last night." Liang Yan looked down at him with a tender and tender expression.

"Dream? A good dream or a nightmare?"

"Of course it's a good dream." Liang Yan turned over, pressed the person under him firmly, and pressed a light kiss on the forehead, "Because... I dreamed of you."

There is a wind blowing outside the window, and the rouge begonia petals are slowly flying and falling, and the flying flowers are raining, year after year, accounting for the spring breeze.
