The Return of the Assassin Biography
Chapter 1
I was so frightened, I didn't know whether I should mention this matter, I was just afraid that I would lose my head if I said the wrong thing.
…………
"Mo Lan... Mo Lan..." Zhi Ming ran straight into his bedroom and arrested him.
"What's wrong, Your Majesty?" Mo Lan was sleeping soundly, confused by him.
"Do you know a child, seven or eight years old, with a burning shadow sword, and a blood jade hairpin like Ah Li on his head." Zhi Ming is eager to know the answer now.
"Your Majesty, have you seen him?" Mo Lan grabbed the quilt tightly in fear.
"I just met him in the stone chamber, who is he?"
"His soul is back?" Mo Lan pulled the quilt over and hugged her chest in fear, "If I knew it was like this, I would also give him relief."
Zhi Ming pulled off his quilt, "He's alive, he's a human being, he ran away."
"A human?" Mo Lan bounced up, got out of bed and put on clothes, "How could it be alive! Didn't he hide in the flames?"
"What's the meaning!"
"Come, my lord, let us sit down and talk."
They came to the outer room and sat on the low bench. The waiter came in with hot tea. Mo Lan saw that Zhi Ming hadn't eaten for a few days, so he ordered the waiter to cook a bowl of porridge.
"Your Majesty is talking about the apprentice Ah Li accepted three years ago, and he named him Zhuan Nian." Mo Lan took a cup and poured a cup of tea for Zhi Ming.
"Obsession?"
"Well, follow the king's surname! That kid is very smart. He knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, literature and martial arts. We all thought he was hiding in the sea of fire, and no one dared to mention it. I don't know where he is for more than a month. How could you not show up, you must be scared!"
"He hasn't left Tianquan yet, so it's too urgent to seal the city gate." Zhi Ming took the tea and held it tightly.
"Your Majesty must not do it. This will force him away. You have to search for this matter privately. I will ask Mu Yan to send someone to look for it. Don't worry about it, Your Majesty."
"Looking at how close Mo Lan and Mu Yan are, what is the origin of Mu Yan?"
"Brought back from the street, a hero in trouble. When he first arrived in Tianquan, he was suffering from illness and his life was hanging by a thread. It was his handsome appearance that saved him. If he was so ugly, I wouldn't bother to look at him."
"Why does Mo Lan, a man of unknown origin, trust her so much!"
"It's not all. He was just an errand runner a few years before he entered the mansion. After a long time, he has seen people's hearts. People have feelings. If you give him a hand when he needs it, he will support him with both hands in the future." You, Mu Yan are like this, whether he is sincere to me is like a person who knows how warm and cold drinking water is, until now the life of my county marquis is in Mu Yan's hands."
"Hasn't Mo Lan ever thought about it?"
"There's no need to worry about it. It's because of him supporting the entire county mansion that I'm so confident. Do you believe it, my lord? If Mu Yan and I were in danger at the same time, we would have to live in one person in exchange for the other to survive." The one who lives must be me.” Mo Lan sat cross-legged in front of Zhi Ming, picked up the pastry on the low table and gave it to Zhi Ming, “Your Majesty, have something to eat first.”
"Does Mo Lan know about Qing Yu?" Zhi Ming took it and held it in his hand without eating.
"I know! I gave this name to you! Your Majesty, do you know that the crickets you and I used to play with were raised by him." Looking at Zhi Ming's puzzled expression, Mo Lan added, "Five or six years ago He bought crickets on the street, and I often asked him to buy them, and seeing his handsome face, I took them back to the mansion to raise crickets for me, and later when Mu Yan entered the mansion, he followed Mu Yan to work." He leaned on the table and used The arms support the whole body.
"Do you know where he is now?"
"It's at Moying Pass!"
"Why did you go there?"
"Three years ago, the king established a business relationship with the Liuli country. He and Mu Yan wanted to go to the Liuli country frequently. It was too much trouble to go back and forth, so he stayed at Moying Pass. Have you heard of the Moying Pass three years ago? Yingguan was brutally slaughtered overnight, but I heard that the city guard was not a good person, he burned, killed, looted, and did everything. Much more convenient."
"Your Majesty, I have a knot in my heart that I want to ask Your Majesty, but I haven't dared to open it all the time. Now when my obsession arises, this doubt comes to my mind again. Your Majesty, please give me an answer, otherwise I will die with regret." Mo Lan twitched Pinch and stretch half body.
"Say it!" He is now calm and calm, he has already endured the unbearable burden of life, and there is nothing left for him to stir up big waves.
"Why did your majesty burn down the Mingyue Tower as soon as he came back?" He said cautiously, and he didn't have the courage to ask confidently. After all, the right of life and death is still in Zhiming's hands, and if he is not careful, he will touch his body. bottom line.
"I encountered several ambushes on the way back, and there were hidden stakes set by A Li along the way." Zhi Ming put the pastry back on the plate, and drank the tea in one gulp.
"Where did the king come back from?"
"Moying Pass."
"Impossible, during the time you came back, there were private soldiers from my mansion stationed at all the checkpoints, and Mu Yan let them come back after you came back..." Mo Lan knew she had slipped her tongue!Hurry up and shut your mouth with your hands.
"Mo Lan raised a private soldier!"
"Your Majesty..., there are not many privates in that minister's mansion in this royal city! Your Majesty, please spare me!"
"Why did they go to Moying Pass?"
"Rogue bandits are rampant, robbing the goods of passing caravans, even the imperial merchants will not let them go. Every time Mu Yan goes to Liuli, he brings a few boxes of gold and silver artifacts privately, so there must be private soldiers to open the way along the way. The second time is the Liuli that A Li and I sent as envoys, so naturally we should send more of them."
"Why do you have to bring gold, silver and private soldiers privately? The treasury doesn't give enough silver and not enough elite soldiers?!"
"Mu Yan said that the state treasury paid for the purchase and sale of ceramics, and what we brought was given to that King Dui. He said that the power of the Liuli Kingdom is in the hands of that King Dui. This is a political relationship. I don't understand it. It's all Mu Yan. Negotiating."
Mo Lan stuffed a piece of pastry into his mouth, and suddenly spat it out again, "Ah! Your Majesty, I understand, you have been in Liuli Kingdom for the past three years, right? They kept sending money to the king. This is to protect the king Zhouquan." I'm too smart to think of this." Mo Lan was a little complacent.
"But the people who ambushed us are obviously from Ah Li!" He said softly, without confidence from the beginning.
"Impossible, A Li's 300 troops are all under General Lu's banner, and they all returned to Yaoguang after A Li's memorial ceremony, and there were quite a few of them. The elite soldiers from my mansion who went to Mo Ying Pass all withdrew after I returned to the court. , go to 300 people, return [-] people, not one is missing."
"He has an army of [-]?" This is quite unexpected.
"That's right! Ah Li relied on the [-] troops to gain a foothold in our heavenly power, otherwise any minister could bully him."
"It turns out that Mo Lan can see through everyone." Zhi Ming stared blankly at the empty cup in his hand, with infinite sadness in his eyes, "Ah Li entered the Liuli Kingdom?"
"Well, I went to celebrate King Dui's succession ceremony, and A Li was very unhappy in the Liuli Kingdom. At that time, I thought that when I returned to Tianquan, I would take him to play around. I thought I would have a lot of time. What! Who would have thought that they would never see each other again after returning to the mansion."
Mo Lan threw a piece of pastry into his mouth, and suddenly spat it out again, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have fallen into someone else's scheme. Someone used your hands to get rid of Ah Li!" He frowned and thought for a while before saying, " Or want to use Ah Li to destroy you, oops! This is called a sword with two eagles, who is so vicious!" Mo Lan slapped the table
Zhi Ming also thought of this matter, now that he made a big mistake, he can only secretly feel sad, the tears shed now are hypocritical, in general, he still doesn't believe in Murong Li, "One thought of heaven..."
The servant came in with a bowl of porridge, and Mo Lan took it, "Come on, Your Majesty, eat some porridge, you've lost a lot of weight! My heart hurts watching it." Mo Lan scooped up a spoonful of porridge and handed it to his mouth.
"Mo Lan" hesitated to speak.
"If the king has something to say, just say it!"
"Since that...obsession can still survive, then Ah Li might also..."
"That obsession is running around, maybe it went to my mansion that night! I heard Mu Yan say that Ah Li's whistle rang from the tower until the building collapsed! Does the king think he will escape? If he wanted to escape, he would have left Tianquan Oh, he really has the heart to die! If Mu Yan treats me like this, I want to die too..." Mo Lan took another spoonful to feed him.
Zhi Ming took the porridge handed over by Mo Lan one bite at a time, and felt that this thought was too extravagant. This engraved realization came too late, too late...
☆、Chapter 32
After returning from the county marquis's mansion, Zhiming was depressed and reticent, and lived in the wooden house to express his grief. Sometimes he fell into a coma all day and night. Xiaopang could only step into the wooden house when delivering meals, and he was only limited to the table in the outer room.
When Zhiming came out of the stone room, the food on the table was already cold, and he had no appetite to swallow it, so he walked out of the wooden house, glanced at Xiaopang who was sleeping by the door of the wooden house, and walked into the courtyard alone.
The night is late, the shadow of the moon is hazy, only the sound of insects chirping in the flowers, the garden is already full of Viburnum, and the clusters are blooming incomparably cool, I think of the two words that reflect the scenery:
In the third watch, the moon shines on the platform
I send Acacia and Mingyue
Walking along the creek to the gate of the courtyard, outside the arch where "Mingyue Tower" was hung, the two guards on duty were chatting.
"I've been on duty here for the past few years, Lord Murong is a kind-hearted person."
"Impossible! I heard that he won the world by himself, how many kings must be charmed, like our king, who willingly gave up the power of heaven."
"Dead person, don't make unreasonable remarks, do your job well!"
"You have been here for several years, how can you bear it? I have only been here for a few months and I am panicked."
"Stop talking! Do your best!"
"You're not even allowed to speak, you're not as comfortable in the barracks..." The guard's expression froze suddenly, and Li Li turned his head to look at the courtyard, his expression paled.
"Do you dare to say it again?" Zhi Ming looked at him emotionally, his face pale under the moonlight.
"Your Majesty, forgive me." The two guards knelt down with a plop.
"What kind of forgiveness?" Zhi Ming jumped up and kicked the guard away, and then hit his head and face, punching and kicking, every punch was a bone-shattering injury, until the waiting guard lay motionless on the ground twisted. Ming was still relentless, he could not allow anyone to tarnish Murong Lili in the slightest.
"Your Majesty..." Xiaopang ran out, looking at this horrifying scene, at a loss for what to do.
Zhiming felt dizzy, and stretched out his hand to help Xiaopang, just as he grabbed Xiaopang's extended hand, his consciousness was already in a trance.
"Quickly pass on to the medical officer." Xiao Pang worriedly sat on the ground holding Zhi Ming.
The guard kneeling on the ground got up and ran away.
Zhi Yan and Mu Yan rushed over, Zhi Yan picked up Zhi Ming and ran to the bedroom.
The medical officer ran in with a small step carrying the medical box, knelt down beside the bed to feel his pulse, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
"Is there any problem?" Seeing Yi Cheng's frowning expression, Zhi Yan couldn't help feeling anxious.
"Returning to the prince, your majesty, this is a sign of exhaustion. It is a long-term instability of work and rest. The lack of diet has emptied the essence. You must prescribe some warming and tonic diet to adjust slowly, and you can't act too hastily." After a while, he said, "Of course this is just the appearance of the body, and the root is still the mind. Once the heart is in order, it will naturally be able to eat and sleep well."
"Understood, let's go down and prescribe the medicine first!" Zhiyan motioned Xiaopang to follow to get the medicine.
"What happened just now?" Zhi Yan looked at Zhi Ming who was on the bed, and asked Mu Yan who was behind him.
"It is said that the words that the man said when he was on duty were heard by the king."
"Hang that man at the gate of the city for a few days, and kill chickens and monkeys."
"Yes"
"Replacing the guards in this bedroom and the Mingyue Tower with our own people, that's too indulgent to those ministers!" Zhi Ban put his hands behind his back, his gaze still fixed on Zhi Mingsha's face.
"Yes, Prince, go and rest! There are ministers guarding here."
……
Early in the morning, Mo Lan rushed into the dormitory in a hurry, "Your Majesty, is your Majesty feeling better?"
Seeing Mu Yan sitting on the edge of the bed and feeding the medicine, Mo Lan snatched it over and "get out of the way." He scooped up the medicine and blew it, "Come on, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, don't stay there. It's shady and poorly ventilated. Let the princess accompany you around. There are many places with good scenery in Tianquan. There are thousands of hectares of bamboo forests in the back mountain. Although Yuzhao Mountain is dangerous, the scenery is beautiful." Pleasant." Standing behind Mo Lan, Mu Yan stretched out his foot to touch Mo Lan.
"Yes! Your Majesty, it would be great for us to go to the back mountain to look for Yu Qionghua." Mo Lan handed the empty bowl to Mu Yan.
"Let's rest in the dormitory today! Wait a little longer before going." Mu Yan urged, when it came to looking for Yu Qionghua, he thought of what happened last time, and his heart still had lingering fears.
"I'll lie down for a while, you can do what you have to do! You don't have to stay with me all day." Zhi Ming is not such an unreasonable person, seeing them so nervous, he is also at a loss.
"I don't have anything to do when I get there. Go to sleep, the king. I'll be in the garden. I'll bring Mengmeng to play with the king later." Mo Lan pulled the quilt over Zhi Ming.
…………
Zhi Ming sat in front of the table and made a picture, while Mu Yan was copying the paperwork for Zhi Yan on the side table, Zhi Ming looked up at the way he was writing and thought of A Li, A Li was soft, Mu Yan was more vigorous powerful!
"How much does your lord know about Yuzhao Mountain?" Mu Yan felt that Zhi Ming was staring at him in a daze, and asked without turning his head.
"The cliffs of Yuzhao Mountain cannot be climbed. They are my natural barrier against foreign enemies."
"This is a well-known fact. You must be looking at Tianquan from the outside! When I look at Yuzhao Mountain from here, what do you see? The trees are shady and the scenery is pleasant! Didn't your majesty go for a walk in person?" Mu Mu Yan raised his head and looked out on the balcony.
"Not really."
"There is a cold pond at the foot of Yuzhao Mountain. The stream is warm in winter and cool in summer. There will be a large number of fireflies gathering on the cold pond at this time of year."
"That's right! It's been several years since I went to watch such a grand scene! A few years ago, I would go to the foot of the mountain with Mo Lan to camp for a few days!"
"Did you go to its source to see it? I was thinking that if I went to watch it at night, would I see a glowing stream flowing from Yuzhao Mountain to the foot of the mountain?"
Zhiming smiled without saying a word, and continued to work on his painting.
"Your Majesty, do you know why the prince suddenly left the ancestral hall as a prince?"
Zhi Ming stopped writing, waiting for his next words.
"After the fire burned the Mingyue Tower, the prince's ancestor also passed away. He left the ancestral hall after dealing with the funeral. The minister made a wild guess and thought it was his ancestor's last words that made the prince leave the ancestral hall. It is a pity that the prince is buried in the ancestral hall."
"The prince doesn't know many people. In the past three years, he has been very concerned about Lord Murong, and he has long been treated as a relative. He lost two close relatives for a while, and before he had time to feel sad, he provoked heaven for the king. Take the burden."
Zhiming kept silent, he cared very little for the people around him in recent years, and he was indifferent to his own rights, and he felt guilty for a while.
"In this world, the only person with the same blood as the king is the prince. The prince is definitely not a person who is greedy for power. Instead, he sits in that position for the sake of the king and the power of heaven. This power belongs to the king. Your majesty should be worried about the people's worries, and happy about their happiness. What these people worry about is nothing more than three meals a day, and what they are happy about is a roof tile, and the well-being of the whole family. Your majesty knows that your ministers are worried now. What are they worrying about? What they worry about every day is the king's three meals a day, and what they worry about is the king's well-being."
Zhi Ming stared blankly at the portrait in front of him, silent.
"Your Majesty forgives the crime, but the subject has overstepped himself." Mu Yan put down his pen and cupped his hands to apologize.
"Mu Yan said it well!"
"Your Majesty, please take good care of yourself."
…………
Yemu was everywhere, and Zhiming stood by the water pavilion, squeezed a small drink of fish food and sprinkled it into the water, attracting a group of koi to compete for food, causing a little splash.
"Pang, are these the koi from before?"
"Not all, the small ones were added this year." Xiaopang leaned on the rail and pointed at the small fish in the water that were fighting for food.
A firefly flew across the water and stopped among the green leaves by the stream, flickering on and off.
"Why don't we go to Hantan to have a look!" Zhi Ming looked sideways at Xiaopang.
"Is it now? Is it getting late? It's late at night when we get there."
"It's okay, let's prepare the car."
"Can I call Marquis Shangmo?"
"No, next time! Just the two of us."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
A carriage, two coachmen, the four of them just left the Tianquan King City.
It's just that a large group of tails followed secretly.
It was past midnight when they arrived at the cold pool, and the fireflies were not as cheerful as when night fell. They were all parked in the grass on the bank, twinkling and twinkling, just like what Mu Yan said, there was a small glowing light. The stream flows into this cold pool.
Zhiming walked along the stream, startled by fireflies, sat down on a stone, stretched his hand into the water, a trace of coolness penetrated his palm, he picked up a few leaves stuck on the stone, most of them were missing half The leaves under his feet were stuck in a pile, and another leaf flowed down, Zhi Ming picked it up casually, and there were a few more broken leaves.
"Will the king set up camp or go back?"
"Go back!" It's useless to stay too long, I no longer have that playful heart.
…………
The sun was very good today, Zhi Ming sat in the pavilion and looked at the Yuqiong flowers all over the courtyard, and his mood improved accordingly.
"Come on, get a bucket to water the flowers." Zhi Ming put down the book in his hand, now he also reads to pass the time.
The attendants brought wooden barrels, carried water from the stream lined with stone steps to the flower pond, and watered the flowers one by one.
Zhi Ming came over and took the ladle from the attendant's hand, "I'll water it, you go fetch the water."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The attendant was surprised by his gentle self-proclaimed 'I', but he was still obedient, and now he is always uncertain, and he may accidentally hit the cusp of the storm.
The attendant brought a pail of water and put it at his feet.
"Where did this leaf come from?" Zhi Ming looked at the half yellow leaf floating on the water.
"No... accidentally scooped it in from the stream." The attendant hurriedly reached out and picked it up.
"Is there still in the stream?" Zhi Ming looked at him expressionlessly.
"Should...there should be more." The attendant didn't understand why, he hesitated and replied.
Zhiming walked to the stream and picked up some half-cut leaves from the bottom of the stream, "Where did these leaves come from?"
"Go back to the king, it fell from this courtyard."
"Is there such a tree in the yard!" Zhi Ming looked around but didn't see a big tree.
"There's a seed at the head of the stream over there in the mountain view."
Zhiming went around the mountain, and saw several trees as tall as a person on both sides of the stream.
When I walked in, I saw that except for the new shoots at the top, there were only half of the leaves left, just like a few trees.
"What's the matter, why is there only half a leaf." Zhi Ming's tone was a little anxious, which had already frightened the attendant.
"Your Majesty, forgive me." The attendant knelt down hurriedly, not knowing what was going on.
"Ask you, why does this leaf grow in such a shape." Zhi Ming still stared at him seriously.
"It was cut off in half by the young master when he practiced the sword." The attendant replied in fear.
"Who is the young master?" Zhiming spoke quickly, and when he came back to his senses, he asked, "Is it obsessive?"
☆、Chapter 33 Yuzhao's adventure
Zhiming slipped out of the palace in the middle of the night, he knew that there would be elite soldiers secretly following him when he walked through the gate of the palace, so he came out of the palace through the escape passage in the dormitory.
It was broad daylight when he arrived at Hantan, and he walked upstream along the stream, and within a quarter of an hour he arrived at the exit of the stream. It was a karst cave with a width of more than ten feet and a height of only five or six feet.
Zhiming looked at the leaves on the bank and walked in. At first, there was still a bank to walk on. After a while, the entrance of the cave became narrow, and he could only walk in the water. After walking in this way for a long time, the water became more and more It was deep, and he was struggling, only to find that there was no way ahead, and the water was not even a foot high from the top of the cave. If he wanted to go from here, he would have to swim across. If he wanted to go back along the way now, he didn't know if he would have the strength to go out. After walking for a long time, I was so reluctant to give up like this. Anyway, the clothes are all wet, and it doesn't matter if they get wet.
Zhi Mingpu entered the water and swam into the cave, but the more he swam, the narrower the cave was, just now there was still a firefly lighting up the light, but now it was getting dark, he began to feel uneasy, the water was raging on his face, making him It was difficult for him to open his eyes. At this moment, there was only one belief in his mind urging him. It was not until he was dizzy that he saw a glimmer of light ahead. He exerted all his strength and desperately grasped the stone wall to climb. A few cuts were made.
Out of the cave, to a spacious watershed, Zhiming climbed up a big rock with great difficulty, lying on it trembling uncontrollably, it took a long time before he calmed down, opened his eyes and looked around, returned to his body. I came out of the cave, but there was light not far in front of me. There should be the entrance of the cave, and my heart was relieved for a while.
I got up again and walked forward with the rushing water, and looked back at the narrow hole. The majestic water slapped the stone wall, and the water splashed to the top of the cave. I just came here. Now I think about it. .
Finally got to the shore, but both sides of the bank were overgrown with thorns, and he could only walk along the stream along the thorns, and he could no longer walk on the waterway.
It's the hottest month of July now, how do you know that the sun here is blocked by the mountains, and the wind blows the drenched robes, and it's actually hungry and cold.
What supported him was the residual leaves that went down the river.
Finally arrived at a spacious valley, found a small path at the foot of the mountain, Zhiming's brows stretched out, as if hope was right in front of him...
Turning around, a small pavilion on the cliff came into view, this Yuzhao Mountain could really be inhabited, and then understood what Mu Yan said, it was extremely hateful, to see him in pain for such a long time and still remain indifferent.
Walking faster, he soon saw a courtyard.
Zhi Ming enters the house, there are two bedrooms on both sides of the living room, at a glance, he recognizes that one belongs to Obsession, and the other belongs to Murongli, he has always felt that Murongli is by his side, and now he is so kind , a trace of sweetness welled up in my heart.
"A Li...A Li..." Zhi Ming came out from the house and went into the kitchen in the yard, but Murong Li was not there.
Suddenly heard a sound not far away, it was the sound of sword practice, Zhiming went looking for the sound, walked through the path overgrown with flowers and grass, and saw Murongli and Zhinian in red clothes at a glance.
They were practicing swords by the stream, the two moved in the same way, one forward and one backward, jumping and turning, both of them drew their swords, and the sword energy immediately knocked the stones under their feet away...
Zhi Ming stood there in a daze, under the setting sun, the shadows of the trees sprinkled on them, the sword energy shook off the leaves, and they swung the swords freely and freely to cut the fallen leaves in half...
Ah Li is even more beautiful than before, such a stunning picture imprinted in his pupils, as if he is in a dream, is this the reunion today that took his long-cherished wish for several lifetimes?
The steps are too heavy to move.
"A Li..."
Murongli and Zhuan Nian turned their heads and saw Zhi Ming standing beside the wooden house.
"Master, is that the king?" Why did he look so embarrassed.
"Let's go! Go back." Murong Li walked over quickly.
Zhi Ming staggered and hugged him, half of his body hung on Murong Li's body, "Ah Li..."
"What's wrong, Your Majesty." Murong Li handed Xiao to Jian Nian and held his shoulder.
Zhi Ming was soaked all over, his hair was messy and stuck to withered vines and sandstones, his robes were torn many times by vines, there were several scratches on his hands, face and forehead, bloodshot.
"Your Majesty, why did you do this? Let go, you've wet my master!"
"I can't stand up anymore." Zhi Ming grinned, and when he relaxed, his strength was exhausted, and his whole body trembled.
"Nian'er, go and boil some hot water." Murong Li helped him into the house.
Murong Li untied his bun, and used a comb to remove weeds and sand.
"Where did your Majesty come from?" How could it be more embarrassing than returning from the battlefield.
"It came up along the stream. I walked for a day. If you live further away, I will die on the road." Zhi Ming complained with a pout.
"How come, if you go out this small road, you will reach the foot of the mountain in less than half an hour."
"I'm going by water!" Zhi Ming said angrily.
"You are stupid! Take off your robe!"
"I can't lift my hands!" Zhi Ming looked at him like a spoiled child.
Murong Li hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand to help him untie his robe.
Obsessed with bringing water in and pouring it into the tub, "Your Majesty, let's soak first, and I'm still boiling the water."
"Your Majesty, come by yourself! I'll go out first." Murong Li took the coat from the cabinet and gave it to him.
"I can't even lift my hands. How can I wash my hair? Besides, I don't know how to do it." Zhi Ming whispered.
"You go in first." Murongli said and went out the door.
After a while, Murong Li came in with water, poured the water into the bathtub, went to the dressing table to light a candle, then came over to wash his hair and wipe his body.
There were many scars on his body, the wound on the shoulder went straight to the back, it was still scabbing, and it was soaked white, it was caused by his swallow branch, because of intermittent medical treatment, it never healed, Murong Li apologized Looking at it, he stroked it distressedly.
Zhi Ming stared at him undisguisedly, as if it was a matter of course, he never thought that the picture-perfect Murongli would do this for him.
Murongli averted his gaze affectionately, "Okay! You do it yourself." Murongli threw the handkerchief into the water, "Hurry up, it's time to eat." He said and walked out.
"If I say I don't know how to dress, you can help me..." Zhi Ming whispered again.
…………
After Zhi Ming washed and washed, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep. Murong Li came back after cooking and packed the things in the house.
"Your Majesty, are you asleep?" Zhuan Nian lay on his bedside, with his hands on his chin.
"Are you going to scare me to death?" Zhi Ming was startled, he just fell asleep when he heard someone talking in his ear.
"It's time to eat! Today's meal is made by the master!"
"Usually you do it?"
"Your Majesty is so smart! Come out quickly!"
"I won't eat! I don't want to get up, and I can't get up. My whole body hurts."
"Nian'er come and eat first! Bring it to the king later." Murong Li called him out together.
When Murongli came in with the meal, Zhi Ming fell asleep again.
"Your Majesty, eat something before going to bed." Murongli put the chair beside the bed, put the food plate on it, and called him softly.
"A Li..."
"Come on..." Murong Li helped him up to lean against, and picked up a bowl to feed him.
"Ah Li is so nice..." Zhi Ming was so happy to be taken care of, he stretched out his hand when he was wearing clothes, opened his mouth when he was eating, and cared for him attentively. With this kind of treatment, the previous trek through mountains and rivers was not worth mentioning.
"Where is Ah Li going?" Zhi Ming sat up.
"I'll go and see Nian'er's evening class. Your Majesty, let's go to bed first!" Murong Li said as he walked out with a plate of food.
Murongli didn't come for a long time, Zhiming stared blankly at the door, thinking in his heart: Maybe he won't come back!Could it be that he slept with that child?
"Why isn't your majesty still asleep, go to sleep!" Murongli came in, walked to the dressing table and sat down, picked up the book and read it.
"Ah Li, can you talk to me?"
"Let's talk about it tomorrow, it's very late at night."
"Is Ah Li not talking to me?"
"No."
"Why is it so far away from me to talk?"
"Your Majesty, don't be poor, rest early!"
"I can't sleep, I'll talk to Ah Li." Zhi Ming knew that Murong Li was going to sit until dawn, how could he sleep peacefully as a dove occupying a magpie's nest, Zhi Ming made a gesture to get out of bed.
"Don't move, don't come down." He must have been exhausted after walking by water all day.
"Then Ah Li, sit over here."
Murongli had no choice but to come over, "Your Majesty, lie down, sit and catch cold." Murongli helped him pull up the quilt to cover him.
"A Li, let's just read the book!" Zhi Ming moved inside to make room.
Murongli looked at him, it was useless to say any more, so he sat on the edge of the bed leaning against the bed rail, lifted the book and read.
Zhi Ming stared at him blankly, but didn't speak.
"Your Majesty, don't look at it, go to sleep!"
"Ah Li, how do you know I'm looking at you?"
"I'm not blind."
"But Ah Li's eyes are reading the book! What is Ah Li reading?" Zhi Ming leaned forward with his arms.
"Your Majesty..." Murong Li pressed him down and pushed him back.
"Ah!" Zhi Ming frowned in pain.
"What's wrong!" Murong Li dropped the book.
"Shoulder hurts."
"Let me see..." Murongli reached out his hand to take a look at his clothes.
"It's okay." Zhi Ming held down his hand, "Does Ah Li hate me?"
"What is your majesty thinking? It's nothing." Murong Li held his hand.
"I'm sorry, Ah Li!" He once killed him, and Zhi Ming still couldn't forgive himself.
"I also have a lot of things that I did wrong. Don't mention the previous things. We will be fine in the future."
"En!" Zhi Ming lay down, and when Murong Li pulled the quilt for him, he saw a small scar on Murong Li's neck, and Zhi Ming stretched out his hand to caress it.
"Sleep! Why are you disobedient?" Murong Li pulled his hand down.
"This is the scar left under the gate of Yaoguang City three years ago." The shallow wound left traces, and what happened to the sword on the chest!
"Let me see." Zhi Ming sat up again, and pushed Murongli's collar away.
"It's okay, I can't tell anymore." Murong Li turned his head to look at him.
"Is it the fragrance of flowers?" Zhi Ming wrinkled his nose and smelled it vigorously, "Did Ah Li go to the Waterside Courtyard after the Mingyue Building was burned?"
"no!"
"Mo Lan came in that day and said there was a potpourri fragrance in the room, I only realized it now." Zhi Ming's nose was close to his neck.
Murong Li hurriedly dodged, but Zhi Ming was still pinching his collar, his shoulders were exposed when he retreated.
"A Li, what's the matter?" Zhi Ming further opened his clothes, and saw a large red mark on his shoulder.
"Burned by fire! It's all right now." He said pulling up his clothes.
"Let me see the sword wound on his chest." Zhi Ming tugged at the front of his shirt.
Murong Li tightly grasped the skirt of his clothes, his blushing face never retreating, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, it's all right, everything is fine..."
"A Li..." Zhi Ming grabbed his hand and held it, "Ah Li is so ruthless. If I haven't found this place, A Li will never appear in this life?" Zhi Ming looked at him straight, eyes There is an unbearable pain in my heart.
"No, I just don't know how to meet you yet."
"Then you have dragged on for a few months like this? Do you know how I got here these few months?" These were just his angry words. He must have known it, and he has been paying attention to his actions all the time.
"I know I was wrong!" Murong Li wrinkled her delicate nose and said with her mouth curled up.
Zhiming's blood surged up in an instant, and he pulled him into his arms without saying anything, "A Li..."
"Your Majesty... let go..." Murong Li struggled.
"Let me see the sword wound on Ah Li's chest." Zhi Ming murmured in his ear, breathing on his neck, and pulled out the blood jade hairpin from his back up to the top of his head, groping to release it. into the pillow.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." Murong Li still kept him in a low voice.
"Ah Li doesn't want to?" Zhi Ming rubbed his neck softly, although he tried his best to control it, he couldn't stop...
Murong Li was startled, since he has decided to stay with Zhi Ming in this life, then this step is a matter of time.
"Put out the candle." Murong Li stopped his movements and said in a low voice.
Zhi Ming got up and blew out the candle beside the bed...
☆、Chapter 34
Hearing Youyou's Xiao sound, Zhiming pulled up the warm quilt and hugged him, just closed his eyes and listened, he would rather this was a dream that he would never wake up from.
"Your Majesty, it's time to get up and take a shower. You're still lying on the bed at this age." Zhuan Nian came in with water.
"I have no clothes." Zhi Ming poked his head out while lying on his stomach.
"Master's dress! I'll find it for you!"
"Don't wear red." Just thinking about his appearance in A Li's red clothes makes him feel nondescript.
"Then the king should lie down all the time! It's not a problem to have no clothes." Zhuan Nian wanted to get him a white set, but he closed the cabinet again after hearing his words.
"Your clothes are all made according to my preferences! Why do you think I wore them when I was young?"
"I also like this style, okay?" Obsessive glanced at him, "These clothes are all made for me by Master Mo. Your Majesty, let's see how many people miss your previous appearance."
Zhi Ming smiled and said nothing.
"What are you laughing at, Your Majesty?" Obsessively, she came to sit on a chair beside his bed and chatted with him.
"That's why they named you Obsession? Does it mean they miss me?"
"Doesn't it sound good! Anyway, I like it."
"This is the surname of my royal family, then you will be a member of my royal family."
"Your Majesty, if I can also take my master's surname, then I will be a descendant of Lord Zhongyuan.
…………
"Mo Lan... Mo Lan..." Zhi Ming ran straight into his bedroom and arrested him.
"What's wrong, Your Majesty?" Mo Lan was sleeping soundly, confused by him.
"Do you know a child, seven or eight years old, with a burning shadow sword, and a blood jade hairpin like Ah Li on his head." Zhi Ming is eager to know the answer now.
"Your Majesty, have you seen him?" Mo Lan grabbed the quilt tightly in fear.
"I just met him in the stone chamber, who is he?"
"His soul is back?" Mo Lan pulled the quilt over and hugged her chest in fear, "If I knew it was like this, I would also give him relief."
Zhi Ming pulled off his quilt, "He's alive, he's a human being, he ran away."
"A human?" Mo Lan bounced up, got out of bed and put on clothes, "How could it be alive! Didn't he hide in the flames?"
"What's the meaning!"
"Come, my lord, let us sit down and talk."
They came to the outer room and sat on the low bench. The waiter came in with hot tea. Mo Lan saw that Zhi Ming hadn't eaten for a few days, so he ordered the waiter to cook a bowl of porridge.
"Your Majesty is talking about the apprentice Ah Li accepted three years ago, and he named him Zhuan Nian." Mo Lan took a cup and poured a cup of tea for Zhi Ming.
"Obsession?"
"Well, follow the king's surname! That kid is very smart. He knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, literature and martial arts. We all thought he was hiding in the sea of fire, and no one dared to mention it. I don't know where he is for more than a month. How could you not show up, you must be scared!"
"He hasn't left Tianquan yet, so it's too urgent to seal the city gate." Zhi Ming took the tea and held it tightly.
"Your Majesty must not do it. This will force him away. You have to search for this matter privately. I will ask Mu Yan to send someone to look for it. Don't worry about it, Your Majesty."
"Looking at how close Mo Lan and Mu Yan are, what is the origin of Mu Yan?"
"Brought back from the street, a hero in trouble. When he first arrived in Tianquan, he was suffering from illness and his life was hanging by a thread. It was his handsome appearance that saved him. If he was so ugly, I wouldn't bother to look at him."
"Why does Mo Lan, a man of unknown origin, trust her so much!"
"It's not all. He was just an errand runner a few years before he entered the mansion. After a long time, he has seen people's hearts. People have feelings. If you give him a hand when he needs it, he will support him with both hands in the future." You, Mu Yan are like this, whether he is sincere to me is like a person who knows how warm and cold drinking water is, until now the life of my county marquis is in Mu Yan's hands."
"Hasn't Mo Lan ever thought about it?"
"There's no need to worry about it. It's because of him supporting the entire county mansion that I'm so confident. Do you believe it, my lord? If Mu Yan and I were in danger at the same time, we would have to live in one person in exchange for the other to survive." The one who lives must be me.” Mo Lan sat cross-legged in front of Zhi Ming, picked up the pastry on the low table and gave it to Zhi Ming, “Your Majesty, have something to eat first.”
"Does Mo Lan know about Qing Yu?" Zhi Ming took it and held it in his hand without eating.
"I know! I gave this name to you! Your Majesty, do you know that the crickets you and I used to play with were raised by him." Looking at Zhi Ming's puzzled expression, Mo Lan added, "Five or six years ago He bought crickets on the street, and I often asked him to buy them, and seeing his handsome face, I took them back to the mansion to raise crickets for me, and later when Mu Yan entered the mansion, he followed Mu Yan to work." He leaned on the table and used The arms support the whole body.
"Do you know where he is now?"
"It's at Moying Pass!"
"Why did you go there?"
"Three years ago, the king established a business relationship with the Liuli country. He and Mu Yan wanted to go to the Liuli country frequently. It was too much trouble to go back and forth, so he stayed at Moying Pass. Have you heard of the Moying Pass three years ago? Yingguan was brutally slaughtered overnight, but I heard that the city guard was not a good person, he burned, killed, looted, and did everything. Much more convenient."
"Your Majesty, I have a knot in my heart that I want to ask Your Majesty, but I haven't dared to open it all the time. Now when my obsession arises, this doubt comes to my mind again. Your Majesty, please give me an answer, otherwise I will die with regret." Mo Lan twitched Pinch and stretch half body.
"Say it!" He is now calm and calm, he has already endured the unbearable burden of life, and there is nothing left for him to stir up big waves.
"Why did your majesty burn down the Mingyue Tower as soon as he came back?" He said cautiously, and he didn't have the courage to ask confidently. After all, the right of life and death is still in Zhiming's hands, and if he is not careful, he will touch his body. bottom line.
"I encountered several ambushes on the way back, and there were hidden stakes set by A Li along the way." Zhi Ming put the pastry back on the plate, and drank the tea in one gulp.
"Where did the king come back from?"
"Moying Pass."
"Impossible, during the time you came back, there were private soldiers from my mansion stationed at all the checkpoints, and Mu Yan let them come back after you came back..." Mo Lan knew she had slipped her tongue!Hurry up and shut your mouth with your hands.
"Mo Lan raised a private soldier!"
"Your Majesty..., there are not many privates in that minister's mansion in this royal city! Your Majesty, please spare me!"
"Why did they go to Moying Pass?"
"Rogue bandits are rampant, robbing the goods of passing caravans, even the imperial merchants will not let them go. Every time Mu Yan goes to Liuli, he brings a few boxes of gold and silver artifacts privately, so there must be private soldiers to open the way along the way. The second time is the Liuli that A Li and I sent as envoys, so naturally we should send more of them."
"Why do you have to bring gold, silver and private soldiers privately? The treasury doesn't give enough silver and not enough elite soldiers?!"
"Mu Yan said that the state treasury paid for the purchase and sale of ceramics, and what we brought was given to that King Dui. He said that the power of the Liuli Kingdom is in the hands of that King Dui. This is a political relationship. I don't understand it. It's all Mu Yan. Negotiating."
Mo Lan stuffed a piece of pastry into his mouth, and suddenly spat it out again, "Ah! Your Majesty, I understand, you have been in Liuli Kingdom for the past three years, right? They kept sending money to the king. This is to protect the king Zhouquan." I'm too smart to think of this." Mo Lan was a little complacent.
"But the people who ambushed us are obviously from Ah Li!" He said softly, without confidence from the beginning.
"Impossible, A Li's 300 troops are all under General Lu's banner, and they all returned to Yaoguang after A Li's memorial ceremony, and there were quite a few of them. The elite soldiers from my mansion who went to Mo Ying Pass all withdrew after I returned to the court. , go to 300 people, return [-] people, not one is missing."
"He has an army of [-]?" This is quite unexpected.
"That's right! Ah Li relied on the [-] troops to gain a foothold in our heavenly power, otherwise any minister could bully him."
"It turns out that Mo Lan can see through everyone." Zhi Ming stared blankly at the empty cup in his hand, with infinite sadness in his eyes, "Ah Li entered the Liuli Kingdom?"
"Well, I went to celebrate King Dui's succession ceremony, and A Li was very unhappy in the Liuli Kingdom. At that time, I thought that when I returned to Tianquan, I would take him to play around. I thought I would have a lot of time. What! Who would have thought that they would never see each other again after returning to the mansion."
Mo Lan threw a piece of pastry into his mouth, and suddenly spat it out again, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have fallen into someone else's scheme. Someone used your hands to get rid of Ah Li!" He frowned and thought for a while before saying, " Or want to use Ah Li to destroy you, oops! This is called a sword with two eagles, who is so vicious!" Mo Lan slapped the table
Zhi Ming also thought of this matter, now that he made a big mistake, he can only secretly feel sad, the tears shed now are hypocritical, in general, he still doesn't believe in Murong Li, "One thought of heaven..."
The servant came in with a bowl of porridge, and Mo Lan took it, "Come on, Your Majesty, eat some porridge, you've lost a lot of weight! My heart hurts watching it." Mo Lan scooped up a spoonful of porridge and handed it to his mouth.
"Mo Lan" hesitated to speak.
"If the king has something to say, just say it!"
"Since that...obsession can still survive, then Ah Li might also..."
"That obsession is running around, maybe it went to my mansion that night! I heard Mu Yan say that Ah Li's whistle rang from the tower until the building collapsed! Does the king think he will escape? If he wanted to escape, he would have left Tianquan Oh, he really has the heart to die! If Mu Yan treats me like this, I want to die too..." Mo Lan took another spoonful to feed him.
Zhi Ming took the porridge handed over by Mo Lan one bite at a time, and felt that this thought was too extravagant. This engraved realization came too late, too late...
☆、Chapter 32
After returning from the county marquis's mansion, Zhiming was depressed and reticent, and lived in the wooden house to express his grief. Sometimes he fell into a coma all day and night. Xiaopang could only step into the wooden house when delivering meals, and he was only limited to the table in the outer room.
When Zhiming came out of the stone room, the food on the table was already cold, and he had no appetite to swallow it, so he walked out of the wooden house, glanced at Xiaopang who was sleeping by the door of the wooden house, and walked into the courtyard alone.
The night is late, the shadow of the moon is hazy, only the sound of insects chirping in the flowers, the garden is already full of Viburnum, and the clusters are blooming incomparably cool, I think of the two words that reflect the scenery:
In the third watch, the moon shines on the platform
I send Acacia and Mingyue
Walking along the creek to the gate of the courtyard, outside the arch where "Mingyue Tower" was hung, the two guards on duty were chatting.
"I've been on duty here for the past few years, Lord Murong is a kind-hearted person."
"Impossible! I heard that he won the world by himself, how many kings must be charmed, like our king, who willingly gave up the power of heaven."
"Dead person, don't make unreasonable remarks, do your job well!"
"You have been here for several years, how can you bear it? I have only been here for a few months and I am panicked."
"Stop talking! Do your best!"
"You're not even allowed to speak, you're not as comfortable in the barracks..." The guard's expression froze suddenly, and Li Li turned his head to look at the courtyard, his expression paled.
"Do you dare to say it again?" Zhi Ming looked at him emotionally, his face pale under the moonlight.
"Your Majesty, forgive me." The two guards knelt down with a plop.
"What kind of forgiveness?" Zhi Ming jumped up and kicked the guard away, and then hit his head and face, punching and kicking, every punch was a bone-shattering injury, until the waiting guard lay motionless on the ground twisted. Ming was still relentless, he could not allow anyone to tarnish Murong Lili in the slightest.
"Your Majesty..." Xiaopang ran out, looking at this horrifying scene, at a loss for what to do.
Zhiming felt dizzy, and stretched out his hand to help Xiaopang, just as he grabbed Xiaopang's extended hand, his consciousness was already in a trance.
"Quickly pass on to the medical officer." Xiao Pang worriedly sat on the ground holding Zhi Ming.
The guard kneeling on the ground got up and ran away.
Zhi Yan and Mu Yan rushed over, Zhi Yan picked up Zhi Ming and ran to the bedroom.
The medical officer ran in with a small step carrying the medical box, knelt down beside the bed to feel his pulse, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
"Is there any problem?" Seeing Yi Cheng's frowning expression, Zhi Yan couldn't help feeling anxious.
"Returning to the prince, your majesty, this is a sign of exhaustion. It is a long-term instability of work and rest. The lack of diet has emptied the essence. You must prescribe some warming and tonic diet to adjust slowly, and you can't act too hastily." After a while, he said, "Of course this is just the appearance of the body, and the root is still the mind. Once the heart is in order, it will naturally be able to eat and sleep well."
"Understood, let's go down and prescribe the medicine first!" Zhiyan motioned Xiaopang to follow to get the medicine.
"What happened just now?" Zhi Yan looked at Zhi Ming who was on the bed, and asked Mu Yan who was behind him.
"It is said that the words that the man said when he was on duty were heard by the king."
"Hang that man at the gate of the city for a few days, and kill chickens and monkeys."
"Yes"
"Replacing the guards in this bedroom and the Mingyue Tower with our own people, that's too indulgent to those ministers!" Zhi Ban put his hands behind his back, his gaze still fixed on Zhi Mingsha's face.
"Yes, Prince, go and rest! There are ministers guarding here."
……
Early in the morning, Mo Lan rushed into the dormitory in a hurry, "Your Majesty, is your Majesty feeling better?"
Seeing Mu Yan sitting on the edge of the bed and feeding the medicine, Mo Lan snatched it over and "get out of the way." He scooped up the medicine and blew it, "Come on, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, don't stay there. It's shady and poorly ventilated. Let the princess accompany you around. There are many places with good scenery in Tianquan. There are thousands of hectares of bamboo forests in the back mountain. Although Yuzhao Mountain is dangerous, the scenery is beautiful." Pleasant." Standing behind Mo Lan, Mu Yan stretched out his foot to touch Mo Lan.
"Yes! Your Majesty, it would be great for us to go to the back mountain to look for Yu Qionghua." Mo Lan handed the empty bowl to Mu Yan.
"Let's rest in the dormitory today! Wait a little longer before going." Mu Yan urged, when it came to looking for Yu Qionghua, he thought of what happened last time, and his heart still had lingering fears.
"I'll lie down for a while, you can do what you have to do! You don't have to stay with me all day." Zhi Ming is not such an unreasonable person, seeing them so nervous, he is also at a loss.
"I don't have anything to do when I get there. Go to sleep, the king. I'll be in the garden. I'll bring Mengmeng to play with the king later." Mo Lan pulled the quilt over Zhi Ming.
…………
Zhi Ming sat in front of the table and made a picture, while Mu Yan was copying the paperwork for Zhi Yan on the side table, Zhi Ming looked up at the way he was writing and thought of A Li, A Li was soft, Mu Yan was more vigorous powerful!
"How much does your lord know about Yuzhao Mountain?" Mu Yan felt that Zhi Ming was staring at him in a daze, and asked without turning his head.
"The cliffs of Yuzhao Mountain cannot be climbed. They are my natural barrier against foreign enemies."
"This is a well-known fact. You must be looking at Tianquan from the outside! When I look at Yuzhao Mountain from here, what do you see? The trees are shady and the scenery is pleasant! Didn't your majesty go for a walk in person?" Mu Mu Yan raised his head and looked out on the balcony.
"Not really."
"There is a cold pond at the foot of Yuzhao Mountain. The stream is warm in winter and cool in summer. There will be a large number of fireflies gathering on the cold pond at this time of year."
"That's right! It's been several years since I went to watch such a grand scene! A few years ago, I would go to the foot of the mountain with Mo Lan to camp for a few days!"
"Did you go to its source to see it? I was thinking that if I went to watch it at night, would I see a glowing stream flowing from Yuzhao Mountain to the foot of the mountain?"
Zhiming smiled without saying a word, and continued to work on his painting.
"Your Majesty, do you know why the prince suddenly left the ancestral hall as a prince?"
Zhi Ming stopped writing, waiting for his next words.
"After the fire burned the Mingyue Tower, the prince's ancestor also passed away. He left the ancestral hall after dealing with the funeral. The minister made a wild guess and thought it was his ancestor's last words that made the prince leave the ancestral hall. It is a pity that the prince is buried in the ancestral hall."
"The prince doesn't know many people. In the past three years, he has been very concerned about Lord Murong, and he has long been treated as a relative. He lost two close relatives for a while, and before he had time to feel sad, he provoked heaven for the king. Take the burden."
Zhiming kept silent, he cared very little for the people around him in recent years, and he was indifferent to his own rights, and he felt guilty for a while.
"In this world, the only person with the same blood as the king is the prince. The prince is definitely not a person who is greedy for power. Instead, he sits in that position for the sake of the king and the power of heaven. This power belongs to the king. Your majesty should be worried about the people's worries, and happy about their happiness. What these people worry about is nothing more than three meals a day, and what they are happy about is a roof tile, and the well-being of the whole family. Your majesty knows that your ministers are worried now. What are they worrying about? What they worry about every day is the king's three meals a day, and what they worry about is the king's well-being."
Zhi Ming stared blankly at the portrait in front of him, silent.
"Your Majesty forgives the crime, but the subject has overstepped himself." Mu Yan put down his pen and cupped his hands to apologize.
"Mu Yan said it well!"
"Your Majesty, please take good care of yourself."
…………
Yemu was everywhere, and Zhiming stood by the water pavilion, squeezed a small drink of fish food and sprinkled it into the water, attracting a group of koi to compete for food, causing a little splash.
"Pang, are these the koi from before?"
"Not all, the small ones were added this year." Xiaopang leaned on the rail and pointed at the small fish in the water that were fighting for food.
A firefly flew across the water and stopped among the green leaves by the stream, flickering on and off.
"Why don't we go to Hantan to have a look!" Zhi Ming looked sideways at Xiaopang.
"Is it now? Is it getting late? It's late at night when we get there."
"It's okay, let's prepare the car."
"Can I call Marquis Shangmo?"
"No, next time! Just the two of us."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
A carriage, two coachmen, the four of them just left the Tianquan King City.
It's just that a large group of tails followed secretly.
It was past midnight when they arrived at the cold pool, and the fireflies were not as cheerful as when night fell. They were all parked in the grass on the bank, twinkling and twinkling, just like what Mu Yan said, there was a small glowing light. The stream flows into this cold pool.
Zhiming walked along the stream, startled by fireflies, sat down on a stone, stretched his hand into the water, a trace of coolness penetrated his palm, he picked up a few leaves stuck on the stone, most of them were missing half The leaves under his feet were stuck in a pile, and another leaf flowed down, Zhi Ming picked it up casually, and there were a few more broken leaves.
"Will the king set up camp or go back?"
"Go back!" It's useless to stay too long, I no longer have that playful heart.
…………
The sun was very good today, Zhi Ming sat in the pavilion and looked at the Yuqiong flowers all over the courtyard, and his mood improved accordingly.
"Come on, get a bucket to water the flowers." Zhi Ming put down the book in his hand, now he also reads to pass the time.
The attendants brought wooden barrels, carried water from the stream lined with stone steps to the flower pond, and watered the flowers one by one.
Zhi Ming came over and took the ladle from the attendant's hand, "I'll water it, you go fetch the water."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The attendant was surprised by his gentle self-proclaimed 'I', but he was still obedient, and now he is always uncertain, and he may accidentally hit the cusp of the storm.
The attendant brought a pail of water and put it at his feet.
"Where did this leaf come from?" Zhi Ming looked at the half yellow leaf floating on the water.
"No... accidentally scooped it in from the stream." The attendant hurriedly reached out and picked it up.
"Is there still in the stream?" Zhi Ming looked at him expressionlessly.
"Should...there should be more." The attendant didn't understand why, he hesitated and replied.
Zhiming walked to the stream and picked up some half-cut leaves from the bottom of the stream, "Where did these leaves come from?"
"Go back to the king, it fell from this courtyard."
"Is there such a tree in the yard!" Zhi Ming looked around but didn't see a big tree.
"There's a seed at the head of the stream over there in the mountain view."
Zhiming went around the mountain, and saw several trees as tall as a person on both sides of the stream.
When I walked in, I saw that except for the new shoots at the top, there were only half of the leaves left, just like a few trees.
"What's the matter, why is there only half a leaf." Zhi Ming's tone was a little anxious, which had already frightened the attendant.
"Your Majesty, forgive me." The attendant knelt down hurriedly, not knowing what was going on.
"Ask you, why does this leaf grow in such a shape." Zhi Ming still stared at him seriously.
"It was cut off in half by the young master when he practiced the sword." The attendant replied in fear.
"Who is the young master?" Zhiming spoke quickly, and when he came back to his senses, he asked, "Is it obsessive?"
☆、Chapter 33 Yuzhao's adventure
Zhiming slipped out of the palace in the middle of the night, he knew that there would be elite soldiers secretly following him when he walked through the gate of the palace, so he came out of the palace through the escape passage in the dormitory.
It was broad daylight when he arrived at Hantan, and he walked upstream along the stream, and within a quarter of an hour he arrived at the exit of the stream. It was a karst cave with a width of more than ten feet and a height of only five or six feet.
Zhiming looked at the leaves on the bank and walked in. At first, there was still a bank to walk on. After a while, the entrance of the cave became narrow, and he could only walk in the water. After walking in this way for a long time, the water became more and more It was deep, and he was struggling, only to find that there was no way ahead, and the water was not even a foot high from the top of the cave. If he wanted to go from here, he would have to swim across. If he wanted to go back along the way now, he didn't know if he would have the strength to go out. After walking for a long time, I was so reluctant to give up like this. Anyway, the clothes are all wet, and it doesn't matter if they get wet.
Zhi Mingpu entered the water and swam into the cave, but the more he swam, the narrower the cave was, just now there was still a firefly lighting up the light, but now it was getting dark, he began to feel uneasy, the water was raging on his face, making him It was difficult for him to open his eyes. At this moment, there was only one belief in his mind urging him. It was not until he was dizzy that he saw a glimmer of light ahead. He exerted all his strength and desperately grasped the stone wall to climb. A few cuts were made.
Out of the cave, to a spacious watershed, Zhiming climbed up a big rock with great difficulty, lying on it trembling uncontrollably, it took a long time before he calmed down, opened his eyes and looked around, returned to his body. I came out of the cave, but there was light not far in front of me. There should be the entrance of the cave, and my heart was relieved for a while.
I got up again and walked forward with the rushing water, and looked back at the narrow hole. The majestic water slapped the stone wall, and the water splashed to the top of the cave. I just came here. Now I think about it. .
Finally got to the shore, but both sides of the bank were overgrown with thorns, and he could only walk along the stream along the thorns, and he could no longer walk on the waterway.
It's the hottest month of July now, how do you know that the sun here is blocked by the mountains, and the wind blows the drenched robes, and it's actually hungry and cold.
What supported him was the residual leaves that went down the river.
Finally arrived at a spacious valley, found a small path at the foot of the mountain, Zhiming's brows stretched out, as if hope was right in front of him...
Turning around, a small pavilion on the cliff came into view, this Yuzhao Mountain could really be inhabited, and then understood what Mu Yan said, it was extremely hateful, to see him in pain for such a long time and still remain indifferent.
Walking faster, he soon saw a courtyard.
Zhi Ming enters the house, there are two bedrooms on both sides of the living room, at a glance, he recognizes that one belongs to Obsession, and the other belongs to Murongli, he has always felt that Murongli is by his side, and now he is so kind , a trace of sweetness welled up in my heart.
"A Li...A Li..." Zhi Ming came out from the house and went into the kitchen in the yard, but Murong Li was not there.
Suddenly heard a sound not far away, it was the sound of sword practice, Zhiming went looking for the sound, walked through the path overgrown with flowers and grass, and saw Murongli and Zhinian in red clothes at a glance.
They were practicing swords by the stream, the two moved in the same way, one forward and one backward, jumping and turning, both of them drew their swords, and the sword energy immediately knocked the stones under their feet away...
Zhi Ming stood there in a daze, under the setting sun, the shadows of the trees sprinkled on them, the sword energy shook off the leaves, and they swung the swords freely and freely to cut the fallen leaves in half...
Ah Li is even more beautiful than before, such a stunning picture imprinted in his pupils, as if he is in a dream, is this the reunion today that took his long-cherished wish for several lifetimes?
The steps are too heavy to move.
"A Li..."
Murongli and Zhuan Nian turned their heads and saw Zhi Ming standing beside the wooden house.
"Master, is that the king?" Why did he look so embarrassed.
"Let's go! Go back." Murong Li walked over quickly.
Zhi Ming staggered and hugged him, half of his body hung on Murong Li's body, "Ah Li..."
"What's wrong, Your Majesty." Murong Li handed Xiao to Jian Nian and held his shoulder.
Zhi Ming was soaked all over, his hair was messy and stuck to withered vines and sandstones, his robes were torn many times by vines, there were several scratches on his hands, face and forehead, bloodshot.
"Your Majesty, why did you do this? Let go, you've wet my master!"
"I can't stand up anymore." Zhi Ming grinned, and when he relaxed, his strength was exhausted, and his whole body trembled.
"Nian'er, go and boil some hot water." Murong Li helped him into the house.
Murong Li untied his bun, and used a comb to remove weeds and sand.
"Where did your Majesty come from?" How could it be more embarrassing than returning from the battlefield.
"It came up along the stream. I walked for a day. If you live further away, I will die on the road." Zhi Ming complained with a pout.
"How come, if you go out this small road, you will reach the foot of the mountain in less than half an hour."
"I'm going by water!" Zhi Ming said angrily.
"You are stupid! Take off your robe!"
"I can't lift my hands!" Zhi Ming looked at him like a spoiled child.
Murong Li hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand to help him untie his robe.
Obsessed with bringing water in and pouring it into the tub, "Your Majesty, let's soak first, and I'm still boiling the water."
"Your Majesty, come by yourself! I'll go out first." Murong Li took the coat from the cabinet and gave it to him.
"I can't even lift my hands. How can I wash my hair? Besides, I don't know how to do it." Zhi Ming whispered.
"You go in first." Murongli said and went out the door.
After a while, Murong Li came in with water, poured the water into the bathtub, went to the dressing table to light a candle, then came over to wash his hair and wipe his body.
There were many scars on his body, the wound on the shoulder went straight to the back, it was still scabbing, and it was soaked white, it was caused by his swallow branch, because of intermittent medical treatment, it never healed, Murong Li apologized Looking at it, he stroked it distressedly.
Zhi Ming stared at him undisguisedly, as if it was a matter of course, he never thought that the picture-perfect Murongli would do this for him.
Murongli averted his gaze affectionately, "Okay! You do it yourself." Murongli threw the handkerchief into the water, "Hurry up, it's time to eat." He said and walked out.
"If I say I don't know how to dress, you can help me..." Zhi Ming whispered again.
…………
After Zhi Ming washed and washed, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep. Murong Li came back after cooking and packed the things in the house.
"Your Majesty, are you asleep?" Zhuan Nian lay on his bedside, with his hands on his chin.
"Are you going to scare me to death?" Zhi Ming was startled, he just fell asleep when he heard someone talking in his ear.
"It's time to eat! Today's meal is made by the master!"
"Usually you do it?"
"Your Majesty is so smart! Come out quickly!"
"I won't eat! I don't want to get up, and I can't get up. My whole body hurts."
"Nian'er come and eat first! Bring it to the king later." Murong Li called him out together.
When Murongli came in with the meal, Zhi Ming fell asleep again.
"Your Majesty, eat something before going to bed." Murongli put the chair beside the bed, put the food plate on it, and called him softly.
"A Li..."
"Come on..." Murong Li helped him up to lean against, and picked up a bowl to feed him.
"Ah Li is so nice..." Zhi Ming was so happy to be taken care of, he stretched out his hand when he was wearing clothes, opened his mouth when he was eating, and cared for him attentively. With this kind of treatment, the previous trek through mountains and rivers was not worth mentioning.
"Where is Ah Li going?" Zhi Ming sat up.
"I'll go and see Nian'er's evening class. Your Majesty, let's go to bed first!" Murong Li said as he walked out with a plate of food.
Murongli didn't come for a long time, Zhiming stared blankly at the door, thinking in his heart: Maybe he won't come back!Could it be that he slept with that child?
"Why isn't your majesty still asleep, go to sleep!" Murongli came in, walked to the dressing table and sat down, picked up the book and read it.
"Ah Li, can you talk to me?"
"Let's talk about it tomorrow, it's very late at night."
"Is Ah Li not talking to me?"
"No."
"Why is it so far away from me to talk?"
"Your Majesty, don't be poor, rest early!"
"I can't sleep, I'll talk to Ah Li." Zhi Ming knew that Murong Li was going to sit until dawn, how could he sleep peacefully as a dove occupying a magpie's nest, Zhi Ming made a gesture to get out of bed.
"Don't move, don't come down." He must have been exhausted after walking by water all day.
"Then Ah Li, sit over here."
Murongli had no choice but to come over, "Your Majesty, lie down, sit and catch cold." Murongli helped him pull up the quilt to cover him.
"A Li, let's just read the book!" Zhi Ming moved inside to make room.
Murongli looked at him, it was useless to say any more, so he sat on the edge of the bed leaning against the bed rail, lifted the book and read.
Zhi Ming stared at him blankly, but didn't speak.
"Your Majesty, don't look at it, go to sleep!"
"Ah Li, how do you know I'm looking at you?"
"I'm not blind."
"But Ah Li's eyes are reading the book! What is Ah Li reading?" Zhi Ming leaned forward with his arms.
"Your Majesty..." Murong Li pressed him down and pushed him back.
"Ah!" Zhi Ming frowned in pain.
"What's wrong!" Murong Li dropped the book.
"Shoulder hurts."
"Let me see..." Murongli reached out his hand to take a look at his clothes.
"It's okay." Zhi Ming held down his hand, "Does Ah Li hate me?"
"What is your majesty thinking? It's nothing." Murong Li held his hand.
"I'm sorry, Ah Li!" He once killed him, and Zhi Ming still couldn't forgive himself.
"I also have a lot of things that I did wrong. Don't mention the previous things. We will be fine in the future."
"En!" Zhi Ming lay down, and when Murong Li pulled the quilt for him, he saw a small scar on Murong Li's neck, and Zhi Ming stretched out his hand to caress it.
"Sleep! Why are you disobedient?" Murong Li pulled his hand down.
"This is the scar left under the gate of Yaoguang City three years ago." The shallow wound left traces, and what happened to the sword on the chest!
"Let me see." Zhi Ming sat up again, and pushed Murongli's collar away.
"It's okay, I can't tell anymore." Murong Li turned his head to look at him.
"Is it the fragrance of flowers?" Zhi Ming wrinkled his nose and smelled it vigorously, "Did Ah Li go to the Waterside Courtyard after the Mingyue Building was burned?"
"no!"
"Mo Lan came in that day and said there was a potpourri fragrance in the room, I only realized it now." Zhi Ming's nose was close to his neck.
Murong Li hurriedly dodged, but Zhi Ming was still pinching his collar, his shoulders were exposed when he retreated.
"A Li, what's the matter?" Zhi Ming further opened his clothes, and saw a large red mark on his shoulder.
"Burned by fire! It's all right now." He said pulling up his clothes.
"Let me see the sword wound on his chest." Zhi Ming tugged at the front of his shirt.
Murong Li tightly grasped the skirt of his clothes, his blushing face never retreating, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, it's all right, everything is fine..."
"A Li..." Zhi Ming grabbed his hand and held it, "Ah Li is so ruthless. If I haven't found this place, A Li will never appear in this life?" Zhi Ming looked at him straight, eyes There is an unbearable pain in my heart.
"No, I just don't know how to meet you yet."
"Then you have dragged on for a few months like this? Do you know how I got here these few months?" These were just his angry words. He must have known it, and he has been paying attention to his actions all the time.
"I know I was wrong!" Murong Li wrinkled her delicate nose and said with her mouth curled up.
Zhiming's blood surged up in an instant, and he pulled him into his arms without saying anything, "A Li..."
"Your Majesty... let go..." Murong Li struggled.
"Let me see the sword wound on Ah Li's chest." Zhi Ming murmured in his ear, breathing on his neck, and pulled out the blood jade hairpin from his back up to the top of his head, groping to release it. into the pillow.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." Murong Li still kept him in a low voice.
"Ah Li doesn't want to?" Zhi Ming rubbed his neck softly, although he tried his best to control it, he couldn't stop...
Murong Li was startled, since he has decided to stay with Zhi Ming in this life, then this step is a matter of time.
"Put out the candle." Murong Li stopped his movements and said in a low voice.
Zhi Ming got up and blew out the candle beside the bed...
☆、Chapter 34
Hearing Youyou's Xiao sound, Zhiming pulled up the warm quilt and hugged him, just closed his eyes and listened, he would rather this was a dream that he would never wake up from.
"Your Majesty, it's time to get up and take a shower. You're still lying on the bed at this age." Zhuan Nian came in with water.
"I have no clothes." Zhi Ming poked his head out while lying on his stomach.
"Master's dress! I'll find it for you!"
"Don't wear red." Just thinking about his appearance in A Li's red clothes makes him feel nondescript.
"Then the king should lie down all the time! It's not a problem to have no clothes." Zhuan Nian wanted to get him a white set, but he closed the cabinet again after hearing his words.
"Your clothes are all made according to my preferences! Why do you think I wore them when I was young?"
"I also like this style, okay?" Obsessive glanced at him, "These clothes are all made for me by Master Mo. Your Majesty, let's see how many people miss your previous appearance."
Zhi Ming smiled and said nothing.
"What are you laughing at, Your Majesty?" Obsessively, she came to sit on a chair beside his bed and chatted with him.
"That's why they named you Obsession? Does it mean they miss me?"
"Doesn't it sound good! Anyway, I like it."
"This is the surname of my royal family, then you will be a member of my royal family."
"Your Majesty, if I can also take my master's surname, then I will be a descendant of Lord Zhongyuan.
