Roselle Peony

The water in Wangfujing was very cold. Although Lu Shangqiu was treated in time, he still injured his lungs. He suffered from asthma and was unable to exercise vigorously. Scared away the six souls.

When the weather improved, Lu Shangqiu, accompanied by his mother, went to worship at Wang Sisi's tomb.He owed so much to this former beauty that he had no words to say goodbye to Wang Canjun, so he was lured away by Sisi's mother Wang in private, so he was able to visit the grave.

In the past three years, Bingzhou City is still the same as before; but after questioning, I found that things are different.Zhang Song was transferred to Yongzhou as a Sima; Mr. Li went to Jiangnan with his father to manage the cloth business, and Mr. Xu also left as a partner; Zhao Liuyi heard that he was arrested by the Jianghu sect, and his life and death are unknown.A few good playmates in childhood, now they are all on their own.

half year later.

The night is deep.

A few sneaky figures slipped out of the residence of Huaihua General Yu Houde carrying a big burden.These servants carried their bundles and walked for a while, and when they reached an uninhabited place, they threw the bundles in their hands in the corner, turned around and ran away.

The burden moved, and it turned out to be a man in a water-green brocade robe with blood stains on it.

Late autumn is chilly.In the bleak wind, the man's clothes were thin, his hair was disheveled, and he huddled in the corner, panting continuously, as if he was about to die at any moment.

In the distance came the sound of hooves of horsemen.

"Report to the inspector, there is a person lying on the side of the road ahead, who seems to be dying." The inspector reported.

The man on the horse paused slightly: "It's not good for someone to die on my site, where is the person, take me to see."

What happened in the past six months?

First, Liang Wang Wu Sansi succeeded in overthrowing Wei Wang Wu Chengsi; Wei Wang completely fell out of favor in front of the Holy Master, and his power minions, including Yushi Zhongcheng Lai Junchen, were all imprisoned.

Second, the number of sages ordered Di Renjie to return to Beijing, and the official was restored to his original post.

However, if you want to ask what Yang Shu is most concerned about in the past six months - what he cares most about is a little wife.

Yang Shu stared at the unconscious person on the couch in a daze.

It's not that he doesn't recognize Lu Shangqiu anymore.

On the contrary, that day in the ring arena, he recognized him at a glance.Unexpectedly, the person he never forgets in his heart is the one who uttered his voice to save him.

Seeing Xiao Qiu by accident in such a situation, he was extremely happy.But his Xiaoqiu sat side by side with the prince on the royal seat.What made him even more depressed was that the prince's hand was holding Xiao Qiu's, and the two fingers intersected tightly, making him think that he was delusional for a moment.

He went to Elder Xuan Ming when he had nowhere to go. It's not that Xuan Ming couldn't see that he hadn't been married for the past ten years. It's just that the master felt that this person has profound martial arts attainments and is a talent to be cultivated, so he decided to devote himself to martial arts. Professor, I hope that one day after leaving Shaolin Temple, the apprentice can walk on the right path and serve the imperial court.

Then he was kicked out of the school by his master and worked as an inspector under Qiu Guodong, the general of Yunhui in Luoyang City. He heard more stories about Xiaoqiu.Those storytellers used Xiaoqiu's story as an after-dinner conversation, described the scene vividly and vividly in obscene language, as if they had seen it with their own eyes, and shared with him the erotic pictures of Xiaoqiu's paintings.It took him a lot of effort not to break the white hairpin that he had treasured for many years in half.The little white hairpin was a token left by Xiaoqiu, and since he shaved the monk's head, he never had the chance to use it again.Now the hairpin that the young man was using was too short and could no longer be used, so he wrapped it in a cloth and carried it in his bosom.

Liang Wang's birthday banquet, a newcomer was invited inexplicably, and finally had the opportunity to see Xiaoqiu up close, but he looked haggard, and was bullied by Princess Taiping and the talented Wan'er and other women around the emperor. not good.

But the relationship between Xiao Qiu and King Liang was a hurdle in his heart. He thought selfishly that it was better not to recognize Xiao Qiu from the beginning to the end, lest the pure Xiao Qiu in his heart burst like a bubble.

However, he still couldn't help paying close attention to Xiao Qiu's every move.

Soon he listened to his colleagues chatting and said that there was a lot of movement in the capital one night. It is said that the king of Liang had a conflict with the king of Wei because of Lu Shilang.Later, it was reported that Lu Shilang was expelled from the palace by King Liang and went to the Taixue in the capital to be a teacher.

There is a famous master in Luoyang, the capital city. In addition to his reputation for being erudite and knowledgeable, he was praised as "extremely handsome, like a lotus emerging from water, and unparalleled in beauty".

There is also a private rumor in the capital: whoever throws a thousand gold can get the peony son to play the piano and taste the flute;

Mr. Peony was once the pampered pet of the King of Liang, and he had a great reputation, so many nobles went there admiringly, and spent a lot of money, just to spend a lot of money with Mr. Peony.The King of Liang built a simple mansion for Master Lu near the Taixue in Luoyang; those guests who came here for the name almost broke the threshold of Lu's mansion.

The only problem with the master is that he is not in good health, he will breathe after sitting on the bed for a long time, and when he is gasping, the back will shrink, and he can immediately send the person on him to an unparalleled high court.

Yang Shu's lungs were about to explode when he heard what the tongue-twister said, and he actually smashed a hole in the table of the tavern.

The waiter in the shop cried and said: "Master Jun, you are so angry that you smashed the table. The small shop is small and the profits are small, so I can't afford it!"

***

Luoyang Taixue happened to be within his jurisdiction, so Inspector Yang took advantage of his position that night and made Qinggong secretly follow behind his master.

After a while, a carriage stopped at the gate of Lu's mansion, and Yang Shu recognized it as the carriage of General Yu's mansion.

At this time, Master Lu had changed into a set of elegant water blue gown, and put down his hair bun. His long black hair was flying with the night wind. He Shi Shiran got into the carriage.Yang Shu followed all the way to General Yu's mansion, and the more he walked, the more desolate he felt, but he still refused to believe that Xiao Qiu in his heart had changed.

The general's mansion was heavily guarded, so he didn't want to break in without authorization, so he only found a hidden place to listen to the wall.

Silhouettes of two people were printed on the window sills. At first, the jingle sound of the zither was heard, but gradually, the sound of the zither stopped, and the two figures rolled into a ball, and the sound of the man's excitement and deep sobbing drifted out.

The thing I didn't want to see the most happened.Yang Shu almost bit the brass button on his sleeve in half, resisted the urge to rush in, and left the general's mansion sullenly.

Xiaoqiu is no longer the Xiaoqiu she used to be.He heard it, and vaguely knew what Xiaoqiu had experienced in the past ten years.He himself has been in Shaolin Temple for ten years, but his Xiaoqiu has changed too much, beyond recognition, which made it difficult for him to accept it for a while.

"Just let him give up on himself." He was disheartened and decided to forget about this person from now on.

Yang Shu did what he said - until when he was patrolling tonight, he bumped into Xiaoqiu, who was abandoned and in a miserable condition.

Xiao Qiu has been in a coma, Yang Shu had to send someone to help Xiao Qiu change and bathe.After taking off Xiaoqiu's clothes, he found that there were traces of being bound and abused everywhere on the snow-white carcass, some had scabs, some were fresh wounds, bruised and purple, which scared one of the serving maids to tears.

The doctor looked at Xunguan Yang with thought-provoking eyes and said: "Master, he indulged too much, resulting in spleen deficiency and shortness of breath. In addition, he suffered from wind and cold before, and both diseases appeared together, so the symptoms seem to be severe on the surface. The old man prescribed two prescriptions. Taking it alternately in the morning and evening, Bao Zhun will get better soon. But—I hope the master can abstain from sex for a while."

Yang Shu's scalp was numb from the doctor's stare, knowing that he had been misunderstood, he said impatiently: "Hurry up and get the medicine." Then he sent the doctor away.

It is no secret in the capital that Xiaoqiu was taken over by General Yu's house for more than a month, and Yang Shu couldn't help but scolded General Yu who was so ruthless.

Lu Shangqiu wakes up leisurely.

During the time he left King Liang, he was alone, like a lost lamb.At first he tried to use alcohol to relieve his sorrow, but he was too good at drinking, so he became more depressed; later, he occasionally tasted the taste of drunken sex, and he became keen to anesthetize himself with love.However, the energy in this body was about to be exhausted. He still vaguely remembered that he couldn't bear the tricks of the general, vomited blood in front of the general, and then was ruthlessly abandoned by the general.

He didn't remember how he passed out, but the place where he woke up didn't seem to be the General's Mansion.

The door creaked and was pushed open.

As the noon sun shines down, a face that he least wants to see at the moment emerges in front of his eyes.Over the years, he had sketched countless times in his mind the scene of meeting Brother Yuan again, but he did not expect that Brother Yuan would always show up at his most embarrassing time and see all his ugliness.

The two looked at each other for a long time.Even though there were thousands of words to say to Xiao Qiu, Yang Shu didn't know where to start, he just choked out three words: "Are you awake?"

Lu Shangqiu nodded as an answer.

Yang Shu walked gently to the bed and called out, "Xiaoqiu?"

"Thank you benefactor for saving me, but I'm not Xiaoqiu." Lu Shangqiu turned his head away, unwilling to look at him.What he is absolutely unwilling to do now is to recognize Brother Yuan.

"Xiaoqiu, it's useless for you to lie to me. I already knew it was you." Yang Shu stared at Lu Shangqiu's back, saw his shoulders trembling slightly, and grabbed his shoulders to forcefully turn him over to face him, only to realize that the person in front of him People are already crying like rain.He couldn't restrain the excitement in his heart anymore, and hugged him tightly in his arms.

The person in his arms whimpered: "I thought you despised me and didn't want to recognize me."

Knowing that he was talking about the meeting between the two at the King Liang banquet, Yang Shu admitted frankly: "It was my brain that I listened to some gossip and thought you had changed."

"What if I've changed, and I'm no longer the brother Qiu you used to be?" Lu Shangqiu pushed Yang Shu away, with a look of fear on his face.He still remembered the contemptuous look that brother Yuan cast on him at the banquet.Those rumors about him are probably true; he knows that he has indeed changed, and the extreme love and joy he got from a man makes him taste it. Accept women's service.

Yang Shu sighed, Xiao Qiu really became very sensitive.He embraced him again, and said: "No matter what you become, you are my Xiaoqiu."
