The front of Nanfeng Building is quite lively, benefactors of Nanfeng Building, or girls and young men are all looking here curiously.

The brothel Jiaofang is doing business at night, and the daytime is boring, so the girls and young men got together in twos and chatted secretly, and their eyes drifted to several people from time to time.

The woman who accosted Huo Changying before saw that something was wrong, so she quietly avoided it.

At this time, in front of the gate of Nanfeng Building, red silk lanterns were swaggering, and the four people stood facing each other. It was originally a confrontation, but because one side was too powerful, it showed a sense of oppression.

Xiao Duo carried the long sword on his back and held Huo Changying in his arms, all in an attitude of protection.

The man's palm carried warm heat from Huo Changying's waist all the way to his heart, inexplicably throbbing, making the tips of his ears slightly warm.

Huo Changying twisted his waist absently, but Xiao Duo didn't relax his big palm on his waist.

His subordinates used all their strength to hold the dishonest Huo Changying in his arms, Xiao Duo's sharp eyes swept towards the man, and his voice was cold: "Lu Tingyan, Mr. Lu, I wonder if your father has warned you."

The one in front of him is Lu Jingyuan's only son-in-law - Lu Tingyan. He is a prodigal son who hangs around in the flowers and loves men and women. He is a well-known playboy in Yong'an City.

When Lu Tingyan recognized General Xiao, he was startled suddenly, his complexion was pale, and his mind, which was drowsy due to hangover, suddenly became clear.

Stiffly twitching the corner of his mouth, Lu Tingyan laughed dryly: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding," he forced himself to change the topic and looked at Huo Changying, probing, "Is this General Xiao's wife?"

Lu Tingyan looked desperately at Huo Changying back and forth, his eyes stopped on the young man's neck covered by his collar, squinted his eyes and said: "Maybe I'm ignorant, it seems... It seems that I haven't heard of the Duke of Jin's mansion. happy event?"

What he said was impolite and offensive, even though Lu Jingyuan was here, he did not dare to provoke Xiao Duo who was in a rage, but this Young Master Lu seemed not aware of General Xiao's anger.

Xiao Duo's face was as heavy as iron, and he stared at Lu Tingyan with lingering eyes. The general on his back seemed to feel the master's anger, humming and trembling.

Lu Tingyan's Adam's apple rolled down, and he touched his neck subconsciously. The man in front of him looked so fiercely, as if he would draw his sword out of its sheath in the next moment, and only take his head, and quickly fell silent.

Xiao Duo frowned, he didn't want to entangle with this dude anymore, he whistled, and then ran over, neatly got on the horse, pulled Huo Changying up and hugged him firmly in front of him.

"I won't say much about today's matter to your father," Xiao Duo said in a deep voice as he glanced at the young lady next to Mr. Lu with warning eyes, "Mr. Lu, please take care of yourself." The meaning behind the words is self-evident.

When the boy named Zhuyan touched Xiao Duo's eyes, he shrank behind Lu Tingyan with a timid expression.

Shen Jun galloped away, leaving only a black light and shadow in the air.

"My lord, my lord," Zhu Yan stood weakly behind Lu Tingyan, patted his thin chest and said, "Is that General Xiao Duo Xiao? It's really... so scary."

Lu Tingyan rubbed his chin thoughtfully, the soft touch of the general's wife's arms still remained on his fingertips, his slender eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"My lord... are you still going back to the mansion?"

Lu Tingyan came back to his senses only after Zhuyan called again weakly.

There was a cynical smirk on the corner of his lips, he put his arms around Zhuyan's shoulders, half drunk and half awake, and said: "I just encountered a bad thing in the middle of the day, and I might be told what the old man said when I go back."

After finishing speaking, Lu Tingyan waved his sleeves and said with a smile: "I won't go back today!" He stretched out his hand to hook the young man's young chin, and led him into the building: "Let's go, sing a song for me, and accompany me Grandpa is happy again."

Zhu Yan smiled and half-pushed, half-shoulding, shedding an intoxicated laugh.

After running out of Pingkang Square, Zhui Dian slowed down his horse's hooves and walked on the road in the street, flicking his tail from time to time.

The winter sun was warm, but the two had nothing to say all the way.

Huo Changying, who was surrounded by Xiao Duo, was still confused by the throbbing just now, but he clearly felt the suppressed anger of the man behind him.

He pursed his lips, for some reason he felt that he was wrong, but he didn't know why, Huo Changying thought for a while before breaking the silence and said: "That Mr. Lu just now is... which Mr. Lu?"

Xiao Duo glanced sideways at the boy in his arms, and saw that Huo Changying's face was rarely tense, as if he was afraid that he would be angry, and his eyes were looking away. Normally, he could have imagined that the corners of Changying's lips curled up and laughed at him. .

It's hard to be quiet now.

Thinking of Xiao Duo's heart suddenly rubbing, God knows how terrified he was when he led his horse out of the alley just now but there was no one there, and when he found someone with great difficulty, he saw that Changying was being treated lightly by others, his heart surged I don't know if the anger is towards Changying or towards himself.

I really want to hide the baby and never let anyone see it again.

Xiao Duo tightened his grip on the reins secretly, sighed and said: "Lu Tingyan is Lu Jingyuan's direct son, and he usually only has a reputation for being a bit of a prostitute. For some reason, he has become obsessed with male sex these days, and he hangs around Nanfeng Tower every day, and he doesn't shy away from it."

"I'm afraid that if he cut off his official career, his father might still be implicated."

Huo Changying lowered his eyes, his knuckles turned white, and he rubbed the reins unconsciously. Xiao Duo really understood that Duanxiu Longyang was a big taboo in the Yin Dynasty. He should be happy, but for some reason, his heart felt sour, which made him unable to say anything. Come on.

"General!"

The atmosphere between the two was silent for a while, and suddenly there was a voice not far ahead, mixed with the rush of horseshoes.

It's Zhao Cheng.

"Hoo—" Zhao Cheng tightened the reins, stopped not far from the two of them, cupped his fists and said respectfully, "The wife and children of Liu Fuyin have been brought back, and they are now temporarily placed in the Duke's Mansion."

"Are there any obstacles on the way?" Xiao Duo asked.

"Fortunately, the brothers went there in time. At that time, everyone was driven to the edge of the cliff," Zhao Cheng said unwillingly, "Besides, those who attacked the wife and children of Liu Fu Yin were dead soldiers. After they were captured by the brothers, they found When things came to light, they all committed suicide by taking poison, and there was no clue on the corpses."

Xiao Duo frowned tightly, with a serious look on his face.

The wild thoughts that were still in his mind dissipated immediately, Huo Changying patted the man's arm, and whispered in a low voice: "The other day when I saw the soul of Fu Yin Liu, he told me something, I need to ask Mrs. Liu to cooperate."

Xiao Duo did not doubt that he nodded slightly, whipped the horse, and galloped all the way back to the Duke's mansion.

In the flower hall, Xiao Qiluo and a gentle-looking woman were waiting there. The woman was about the same age as Xiao's elder sister, and her complexion was pale because of her miserable expression, making her look even more haggard.

Xiao Qiluo on one side spoke a few words of comfort from time to time.

Seeing several people approaching, the woman hurriedly got up, her eyes were still red and swollen, and there were still tears in the corners of her eyes.

Xiao Qiluo got up and said: "Since you are back, I won't disturb your conversation. I will go to the backyard to see Nian Jun and little Liu Qi first."

After the woman thanked Xiao Qiluo repeatedly, she looked at Zhao Cheng.

Zhao Cheng, who was following behind the two, understood, and hurriedly said: "This is Mrs. Liu Fu Yin," then looked at Xiao Duo and Huo Changying and said, "Mrs. Liu, this is General Xiao and, and..." He knocked After a while, the brothers usually called Mrs. Ma'am together, and they didn't have any scruples, but this Chang girl, in fact, hadn't formally entered the door yet.

Xiao Duo glanced at Zhao Cheng, who was scratching his head, with his arms vainly around Huo Changying's waist, and said very naturally: "It's my wife."

Seeing that his master said so, Zhao Cheng hurriedly responded with a grin: "Yes, yes, it's Madam."

Huo Changying: "..."

Madam Liu was a gentle and gentle boudoir girl, immersed in the grief of her husband's death, she didn't pay attention to the strangeness between the few people, and hurriedly bowed to say hello, Huo Changying imitated Madam Liu's appearance with some embarrassment, and followed her with a salute.

Seeing Changying's appearance like this, Xiao Duo's unhappiness was swept away.

The Jingzhao Yin Yamen has been temporarily sealed off, and the main officials who were originally in charge of investigating the case were killed.

Xiao Duo thought for a while and said: "In a few days, I'm afraid Madam will go to Dali Temple for interrogation. This case will also be reported. Today is not a formal interrogation. I just hope Madam will tell you about the abnormalities of Governor Liu recently."

After all, Xiao Duo is not a full-time case-handling official.

Huo Changying glanced at the man, Xiao Duo understood, and gave him a calm look.

Mrs. Liu nodded, and pondered for a while: "If it's unusual, it means that after he came back that day, he hurriedly drove me and Qi'er back to my mother's house. I asked why he didn't go back with us. He just said that the yamen couldn't leave because of something. Although I was puzzled in my heart, I dare not not listen to what you said, Mr.

After thinking about it, Mrs. Liu added: "Although Mr. Lang has been restless these days, he often stays in the study until late at night, but I always thought he was worried about the case, but I didn't expect..."

As she spoke, her voice choked up again, and she held back her tears and said: "I met Mr. Lang at the end of Wei, when he was just a local official, and then he came to this position step by step," Mrs. Liu wiped it with a handkerchief. Tears, "There are so many dignitaries in Yong'an City, Mr. Lang has been in a dilemma these years, for fear of offending which one can't afford to offend,"

"It's not as good as being peaceful and happy in the countryside in the early years. Although I have been coerced by local tyrants, it's better than losing my life at the feet of the emperor..."

Mrs. Liu had just suffered the pain of losing her husband, and she was both wronged and sad in her heart, and she was a little confused when she said something.

The child was young, and her natal family was powerless. Huo Changying couldn't bear it, so she comforted her softly, "My condolences to Mrs. Liu, please don't break your body from crying."

Madam Liu looked up at Huo Changying, holding back tears, her eyes were blank but not empty, she murmured: "Yes, I still have Qi'er to take care of, he is so young, I don't know his father is gone."

Huo Changying glanced at her and sighed in his heart, the greatest thing about a woman is her strength as a mother, she seems to be able to withstand any hardship.

When Mrs. Liu's mood stabilized a bit, Huo Changying and Xiao Duo exchanged glances, and then asked softly: "Madam, do you still remember, did Yin Fu Yin put anything here with Madam?"

Mrs. Liu wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and asked in surprise, "What do you know?" When she said this, her eyes became more wary, and her body tensed unconsciously and sat up straight.

Huo Changying saw her reaction in his eyes, and didn't say much, just leaned over and whispered something in her ear. After hearing this, Madam Liu's body shook, the circles of her eyes turned red immediately, and tears welled up again.

"Lang Jun does have something for me to keep,"

She looked at Xiao Duo hesitantly and guardedly, and then remembered the relationship between the two of them, relieved her heart, pursed her lips and said as if making a decision: "It's a key, but I don't know where it is. Mr. Lang kept it, but for some reason before I left, he wanted to give me the key, returned it, and said those words."

Huo Changying pondered for a moment, looked into Mrs. Liu's eyes and said, "Then, does Mrs. Liu know what secret is in it, that Liu Fu Yin wants to hand over the key to you for safekeeping?"

"secret?"

Mrs. Liu slowly shook her head, "I don't know." The red and swollen eyes were full of doubts, as if she couldn't figure out the inevitable connection between this and her husband's death.

Huo Changying looked at Xiao Duo, and the man happened to look at him too, both seeing doubts in the other's eyes.

Mrs. Liu handed over the key to Huo Changying, and gave another direction, saying that she didn't know anything else, and then she was led by her servants to visit her son in the backyard.

Huo Changying held the key in his hand. The copper lock key was no different from ordinary ones. He closed his eyes, but he didn't notice any evil spirit. He frowned and opened his eyes slowly.

It seems that he was wrong. He originally thought that the demon who manipulated the puppet would be hidden in Jing Zhaoyin's mansion, but now it seems that this key hides other ulterior secrets.

On one side, Xiao Duo looked at Huo Changying's expression of drooping eyes and frowning, and asked, "Is there a demon?"

Huo Changying shook his head, his eyes were still carefully looking at the key, "General, please come to my room at night."

Xiao Duo: "..."

His heart skipped a beat, although the two of them often slept together in the same room these days, the words said from Chang Ying's mouth inexplicably made him feel hot, Xiao Duo looked at the pillars, and his voice was a little dry: "Why?"

Huo Changying was still immersed in his thoughts and didn't pay attention to the man's expression. At this moment, the man's voice was not as usual, and he raised his head in doubt.

What he wanted to say, he saw the servants around him out of the corner of his eye, thinking that it was inconvenient to say it openly, so he leaned closer to Xiao Duo's ear, raised the corners of his lips and pretended to make fun of him and said: "Night visit Jiming Temple." The voice was very serious Well, Madam Liu told him just now that it was Jiming Temple.

The man's side face was firm and resolute, and he was slightly embarrassed at this moment. Huo Changying wanted to make fun of it, but then remembered something, and his face flashed sadly, and he was about to back away.

Suddenly, his waist tightened, and the man stretched out his long arms to embrace him in his arms.

Huo Changying's center of gravity was unstable, and the man pulled him vigorously, and the corner of his lips barely brushed against the man's chin.

During the past few days of busy work, Xiao Duo's chin has grown tiny stubbles that have not yet been cleaned up. The slightly pierced touch runs along the sensitive lips and scratches towards the apex of the person's heart. Huo Changying's heart feels a tingling itch. people push away.

Xiao Duo looked at the young man imprisoned in his arms, and forgot to react for a moment, he just saw the figure behind the bushes, his reason was not clear yet, his hands moved first, the young man's lips were soft and slightly cool, even though he could touch them instantly , but with intoxicating throbbing, it hit the heart directly, and ripples appeared in the calm bottom of the heart.

It's been a long time.

For a moment, both of them were stunned.

"Oh, I didn't come at the right time." A cheerful female voice with some teasing sounded behind the two, breaking the blushing atmosphere between them.

Xiao Qiluo looked at the red-faced two people, held back a smile on her lips, but still pretended to be an elder, frowned and said: "If you want to be intimate and go back to the room, you can do whatever you want."

Huo Changying withdrew from Xiao Duo's arms in embarrassment, and hearing Xiao Qiluo's words again, the heat that had just faded on his face steamed up again.

Xiao Duo also clenched his fists on his lips and coughed dryly to cover up his unnaturalness.

"I'll let Liu Lin live in Nianjun's yard first, and Mrs. Liu will stay with me first." Seeing that the two were embarrassed, Xiao Qiluo stopped joking and talked about the arrangement: "In a few days It's New Year's Eve, Liu Fu Yin's parents died early, Mrs. Liu's natal family is far away, I'm afraid the two of them will celebrate the New Year in the Duke's Mansion."

Xiao Duo had no objection to this, nodded and said: "Please trouble elder sister to worry about it."

Xiao Qiluo waved her hands indifferently: "I'm usually bored, and I happen to have something to pass the time." As she spoke, she remembered something again, her eyes swept over Huo Changying, and then she looked at Xiao Duo and said, "Father estimates that he will be back in the next two days." ,you……"

Before she could finish her words, Xiao Duo already heard the implication behind her words.

Seeing Xiao Duo being so cautious, Huo Changying felt a little uneasy, how could the Duke of the State be so easy to be deceived by the elder sister of the Xiao family.

Although he met Xiao's elder sister a few times when he was a child, the Duke of Jin has never been seen. All the affairs of the mansion are taken care of by the butler Lao Tao. Huo Changying understood in his heart that if he was really an incompetent person, how could the Duke of Jin's mansion, which has survived three dynasties, be handed over to Xiao Duo's father.

This Duke must be a man of great wisdom.

Thinking about it, Huo Changying regretted it again. At the beginning, he agreed to Xiao Duo's proposal just to do things cheaply. Now it seems that he is really selfish. If his identity is revealed, not only Xiao Duo, but even the entire Duke of Jin will be implicated by him.

It's just that at the beginning, why didn't he think of it, or just treat himself as a guest, and after catching the monster, he can withdraw and drive away as usual without hesitation.

And now...

Huo Changying sighed lowly, remembering the kiss that had just barely brushed against the skin when Xiao Duo was in his arms, a burst of unspeakable emotions surged in his heart.

Liu Fuyin's wife and children were temporarily placed in the side courtyard of the Duke's Mansion, guarded by the imperial guards, and Huo Changying pasted spells around the courtyard, preventing ordinary monsters from approaching.

After the two had dinner in the evening, they went back to the room, locked the door, and pretended that they were still in the room.

Huo Changying leaned close to Xiao Duo, curled his lips and squeezed a curse, and in an instant the two of them appeared in the alley outside the back door of Duke Jin's mansion.

Seeing Xiao Duo was a little surprised, Huo Changying explained: "It's the same as the little trick of invisibility at Jiming Temple that day, except that one more person was brought along." As if knowing what Xiao Duo was thinking, Huo Changying continued to explain: "My cultivation is limited, and I can only maintain the distance from the backyard to the entrance of the alley, no matter how far... I am afraid that only the master can do it."

Huo Changying's eyes darkened, and he sighed in his heart, what kind of problem did the old master give him?

When he came back to his senses, Zhao Cheng, who had been waiting for a long time, arrived quietly with a few confidants.

The moon was in the middle of the sky, and Yong'an City fell into a deep sleep.

A black shadow that seemed to hold a person in its arms skipped over the roof of Yong'an under the moon, and several figures followed closely behind the black shadow.

In the alley, the watchman yawned, scratched his head and continued to watch, not paying attention to the abnormality on the roof behind him.

Jiming Temple, back mountain.

The ancient temple is deep and deep, and it is extremely cold in the midwinter night.

Huo Changying patted Xiao Duo on the shoulder, motioning him to put himself down. Zhao Cheng and the others were panting slightly during the rush, not to mention Xiao Duo who was holding him.

Xiao Duo put him down with some nostalgia, but he didn't pant much.

Huo Changying took a deep look at Xiao Duo, and secretly admired General Changfeng's extraordinary physical strength.

According to the direction pointed by Mrs. Liu, several people looked around. Under an ancient pine tree, they found the stone in Mrs. Liu's mouth. Zhao Cheng and others dug the soil, and stopped when they touched a hard object.

—It is a wooden box.

It was the size of a book, and Huo Changying put his palm in it, and his cultivation level circulated, not surprisingly, he didn't find any evil spirit.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and then Yueguang tried to insert the key into the copper lock, and after confirming that it was what Liu Yu hid, he and Xiao Duo put away the wooden box.

Xiao Duo hugged Huo Changying and motioned for Zhao Cheng and others to follow.

Lifting his energy and flying, he disappeared into the darkness of Yong'an City in an instant.

Duke of Jin's mansion, the backyard.

The two returned to the room, sat down at the table, and opened the wooden box. It was not as difficult to open as the wooden box that was taken out of Master Jingyuan's meditation room last time.

The key turned slightly in the brass lock, making a slight noise, and the brass lock opened.

Huo Changying laughed, and said angrily, "If there is no shocking secret, I really want to dig Liu Yu out of the Nether Division and ask about it."

This case involves a lot of entanglements, if it is made a big fanfare, I am afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble, and because they don't know what kind of secret Liu Yu is hiding, the two can only say that they will get the things back at night, and they are worried that there will be traps waiting for them. Xiao Duo was worried and called Zhao Cheng and the others.

After a night of tossing like this, there was no danger.

Huo Changying glanced at Xiao Duo. The man hadn't slept well for several days. Although he didn't show any obvious tiredness on his face, for some reason, he felt a little...distressed.

Xiao Duo didn't say much, he bent his fingers and touched the warm teapot on the small stove on the side, and found that the water in the pot was still hot, so he poured a cup and handed it to Huo Changying, "Have a cup of hot tea first." The boy's palm was cold, He couldn't cover the heat in his arms all the way.

Huo Changying held the cup in the palm of his hand, and the warmth slipped down to the bottom of his heart.

The house was brightly lit.

The two took out the contents of the box and found that there were dozens of letters.

Huo Changying opened the envelope, quickly browsed through dozens of letters, and then handed it to the man, rubbing his eyes: "Xiao Duo, look, how did I find out that I seem to have returned all the words I know to my husband?" He said in his heart, could it be? It's because he has been with spells all the year round, and he is used to ghost-drawing talisman-like handwriting, and he can't read normal characters.

Xiao Duo took the letters and read them one by one, and found that it was not because Huo Changying was illiterate.

"It's a secret word." He put down the letter.

Huo Changying's brows twitched, and she asked in confusion, "What exactly did Liu Yu want to tell us?" It was something he couldn't say after his death, and could only convey it by letter.

Xiao Duo shook his head to express his ignorance. He took the letters and read them one by one. The letters were of different ages, and some of them were slightly yellowed. Xiao Duo watched as his brows became tighter and tighter, and he quickly arranged dozens of letters at a time. , frowning and thinking for a moment, suddenly a thought slipped through my heart.

"Xiao, Xiao Duo?"

Huo Changying looked at the man's solemn expression, squinted his eyes and asked, "Did you see something?"

Xiao Duo remained silent for a while, then suddenly turned his head to stare at Huo Changying, and said, "How much do you remember of what happened nine years ago?"

Huo Changying was startled, of course he knew that Xiao Duo was asking about the Huo family's affairs back then, so he frowned and said, "This case is actually related to what happened nine years ago?"

Xiao Duo fixed a glance at him, and only lined up the letters one by one. From old to new, although the envelopes were the same, the time was marked on the place where each letter was signed.

This is the only place where I can understand it.

In other words, the time when Liu Yu and that person communicated most intensively was nine years ago.

As for what happened nine years ago, there is no need to explain.

Xiao Duo saw Huo Changying drooping his eyes and said nothing, and said again: "Do you still remember when Miss Liu said she came to Yong'an City?"

Huo Changying looked up at Xiao Duo, a little startled.

"It was also nine years ago," Xiao Duo said with a bit of unbearable face, "Is it all a coincidence?"

Although he was often heartbroken these years, and the Huo family's house had to be protected, he couldn't even find any evidence to prove the Huo family's innocence in that final case. In addition, he was young at the time, only older than Huo Changying. Even at his age, he was powerless.

When he walked to his current position step by step and became a person close to the emperor, he realized that the Huo family's affairs had long since disappeared like smoke and dust in the numerous files of Dayin, without any clue.

But he clearly felt that someone was manipulating that matter behind the scenes, and sometimes he even had the illusion that even His Majesty was helpless.

But now, for some reason, this matter was brought up by someone, and it was rediscovered from a dark corner.

"Changying, do you want to investigate further?"

The young man's face turned pale, Xiao Duo put his palm on the back of his slightly cool hand, and said in a deep voice: "No matter what your choice is, I will accompany you."

Huo Changying was in a turmoil, and the memories in his mind were chaotic. For a while, Huo's mother's loving face flashed, and for a while, it changed to Huo's father's complex look when he looked at him. Duan, entangled like a mess.

During this period, there will even be memories of previous lives mixed in.

Yong'an fell, the imperial city collapsed, the father died in battle, and the mother wiped her neck with a long sword.

In the boundless snow field, the traitor stabbed his cold long knife into his heart with a mocking tone.

Huo Changying only felt a faint throbbing pain in his forehead, and he murmured: "Nine years ago, I left the Huo family with Master, and when I heard news about the Huo family again, I was in Anxi a year later."

He seemed to be trying to remember something, his head was frowning and his heart was beating like a drum, and the blue veins on his forehead gradually showed, "The official document said that the Huo family was imprisoned for a crime, and the whole family was executed..."

In the end, even he himself was a little hesitant. How could he and his master, a commoner, see the official documents?Even if it can be seen, why doesn't the official document state the reason why the Huo family was convicted?

The sound of beating shifts in the alleys came, as if wrapped in a icy cold wind, each sound was faint and indistinct.

Huo Changying suddenly raised his hand and pressed it on his forehead, as if a sharp weapon hit his mind with the rhythm of the beeping, trying to tear his head apart!

"--what!"

The veins on his forehead were throbbing, and layers of cold sweat oozed from Huo Changying's forehead. He pressed his forehead with one hand, and held the edge of the table tightly with the other. , the joints are elongated abruptly, suddenly raised several inches.

"Eldest baby!"

Xiao Duo exclaimed, hugged the struggling young man in his arms, his eyes were full of anxious heartache, he kept stroking the young man's tense back, and whispered in his ear over and over again: "Don't think about it, let's Forget it."

Huo Changying was in a trance, and it seemed that something suppressed in his mind was pulled out by himself, and waves of pain like cramps and broken bones swept through his mind.

He breathed hard, tried to close his eyes and opened them again, the world around him was spinning, Xiao Duo's expression of worry and heartache in front of him gradually blurred, his eyes focused and then spread out, in a daze, the man's face suddenly changed into that of a teenager juvenile.

In the nostrils, it seems that they can smell the burnt smell of plant ash and the bloody smell of burnt flesh.

"Changying, Changying!" Xiao Duo frowned tightly, hugging Huo Changying and calling over and over again, the boy's body gradually became cold, he was startled, thinking of the old illness that Huo Changying had when he caught the Bodhi demon the day before yesterday situation.

Seems a lot like now.

Without even thinking about it, Xiao Duo picked up Huo Changying and ran towards the hot spring pool in the backyard.

By the side of the hot spring pool, mist curls up.

Xiao Duo carefully put the person down, then turned around and closed the door and window.

Huo Changying was placed by the hot spring by Xiao Duo, and the dull pain in his head attacked his mind that was about to collapse.

The bone-chilling coldness gradually spread to all limbs and bones, entangled with the headache, which made him almost suffocate in pain, and there seemed to be a hoarse and youthful voice of a boy in his ear, which was familiar but unfamiliar.

The voice said, "Don't be afraid, I'm with you."

Huo Changying paused with his hand pressing his forehead, and the scene in front of him was gradually blurred by the steam from the hot spring.

"A Duo, what are you doing so fast, A Duo?"

In the early summer, the cicadas were singing, and the alley outside the private school was deep.

The little boy dressed in brocade and silk satin ran on the bluestone path with short legs, and finally caught up with the boy in front, he bent down to support his knees, panted slightly and smiled, "Why are you running, it's just a joke. "

After the rain, the summer wind brings a hint of coolness, and the wind blows a piece of tung blossom fragrance.

The young boy was only a few years older than the young man, but his stature was severe. He had already seen the youthfulness of the young man for the first time. He turned his back and said for a while, "If so, did I not take it as a joke?"

There was a trace of anxiety in the voice.

The little boy looked dazed, tugging at the boy's sleeve, and was about to ask again.

"The insects are flying, the insects are screaming, a strange boy has come out of the Huo family," a group of children ran over in twos and threes, holding hands, and circled around them with smiles.

"The little boy is shy and wants to be a daughter-in-law every day!"

The children stuck out their tongues at the two of them, made faces, and when the gloomy young boy was about to hit someone, they laughed and ran away.

The little boy turned around and looked at the little boy with the calm eyes of an adult: "If, what if I really want to marry you as a wife?" With his hands behind his back, he looked like a child waiting for his husband's criticism.

The wind blows the tung flowers, rustling down.

The little boy was stunned.

Huo Changying struggled to stand up, the fog was thick, and his vision was blurred. He could only see the man walking towards him worriedly and anxiously, and gradually overlapped with the young boy in his memory.

He shook his head, the dull pain gradually dissipated, but the light and shadow were still chaotic. In his sight, only the man's anxious and deep eyebrows.

"Don't be afraid, I'm with you."

The metallic sound of swords and swords tore apart the peace of the Huo Mansion.

His mouth and nose were filled with the burnt smell of plant ashes, and the sounds of killing were endless, not the desperate cries of women and children.

In the rocky cave, under the ice and snow, two small bodies hug each other tightly.

Blood flowed from the back of the little boy, staining half of his clothes red, but he stubbornly held the little boy in his arms.

The little boy tightly grasped the boy's increasingly cold hands, tears streaming down his face, and he cried in a low voice: "Aduo, I beg you not to go—" like the last piece of driftwood caught by a drowning man .

The little boy weakly raised his hand and scratched the tip of the boy's nose lightly, with a smile on his lips: "I, I'm still waiting for you to agree to be my wife."

The little boy bit his lips tightly, but stopped talking. The toxins in his body had already begun to spread, and the severe colic caused cold sweat to ooze from his forehead. He knew that today, he couldn't hide, but the little boy was destined to stand in the right position. Center, left name in history books.

"Can you nod your head?" The young boy's tone was full of pleading.

The air condensed into ice, and screams passed over the Huo family's house shrouded in haze.

After a long time, the little boy finally spoke, and for the first time in his voice there was a seriousness and determination that did not belong to a child: "If one day, you can command a thousand troops in command," he tried hard to swallow the blood welling up in his throat: "The flag is open to victory!" Day, I nodded."

"--it is good."

Huo Changying's misty pupils trembled violently, as if something was flickering in his eye sockets, half of his legs slipped into the pool, he supported the white marble bricks by the pool with one hand, and looked at Xiao Duo with blurred eyes.

The man has sharp brows and eyes, and his facial features are deep and clear. His skin is slightly dark because of his training in the battlefield. Although he only looks like he is in his 20s, his actions carry a murderous aura of iron and blood.

At this time, the man was nervous about him, so he rolled the cuffs of the bunt to his elbows, exposing his strong forearms, and the blue veins hidden under the flesh seemed to burst out with strong strength at any time.

——"Admit it, you just like him."

The flower demon's resolute words rang in Huo Changying's ears, as if all of his recent hesitation, bitterness, and doubts were connected together.

Huo Changying looked at Xiao Duo, and slowly raised the corners of his lips.

When Xiao Duo turned around, he suddenly bumped into the young man's smile, his heartbeat suddenly stagnated, and he couldn't help but stop.

The long baby in front of him lost the camouflage in the daytime, the youthful blue body was calmly wrapped under the moon white robe, and the thin muscles were attached to the slender bones, with a kind of charm of muscles and bones, the blurred eyes The smile seems to be... from the heart?

Xiao Duo was taken aback by his own thoughts, and suddenly remembered the kiss that almost got out of control by the hot spring that day, and thought in his heart that the young man was just obsessed by the old disease in his body, and when he woke up, he would forget about it clean and dry.

He frowned, and walked to the pool in two or three steps.

The long arms wrapped around Huo Changying's shoulders, and he was about to bring him into the hot spring pool. He wanted to use his internal strength to drive away the cold for the young man, but suddenly his arm was held, and he lowered his head to bump into the smiling eyes of the young man.

Huo Changying's beautiful peach blossom eyes were stained with layers of mist by the hot spring, and the steam evaporated, making them darker and more vivid, and his pink lips parted, as if he wanted to say something.

Xiao Duo couldn't help but his mouth was dry for a while, he forced his eyes away from the corner of the young man's lips, feeling a little loathed in his heart, at this time the young man was suffering from illness, and he had such nasty thoughts.

Without waiting for the boy to lose his mind again, Xiao Duo used his long arms to bring him into the water, splashing layers of water.

Huo Changying wiped the water off his face, endured the bone-piercing cold, barely maintained his sanity, grabbed the man's chest by the front of his shirt, hesitant and apprehensive, what is he going to say?

"A Duo, I..."

Xiao Duo, as if he was afraid of hearing what he was about to say, hugged him forcefully in his arms, using his internal energy to move through the young man's body, smoothing the gradually stiffening meridians in his body little by little.

"Hmm." Huo Changying snorted, the previous feeling of being blocked and stagnant in the meridians was suddenly wrapped by warm and thick internal force.

The hot spring water kept washing his mind, Huo Changying's consciousness gradually became lax, and drowsiness gradually struck.

He grasped Xiao Duo's skirt, pressed it close to the man's ear and said before his consciousness dissipated: "A Duo, I," I remembered.

The young man's fingers slipped from the front of the skirt, Xiao Duo frowned and looked at the young man who was sleeping in his arms, but he didn't hear his weak, mosquito-like words leaning over his ear.

He, what do you want to say?

The author has something to say:
