[Shadow Guardian] The Wind Rises from the Wild West

"You have been right many times just now." Because it was too abnormal, Honghan became more and more uneasy.He couldn't help but think of what the Great Witch of the Grassland said: If there is something different, there must be a demon.

Yun smiled, "Maybe it's only for today. Just let me be self-willed for a while."

"You can be willful anytime, not just today."

These words sounded sweet, Yun shook his head with a smile, and held Hong Han's hand. "Honghan, it has been more than a year since I left Qishan with you. You took me out of customs, across the grasslands, to Yancheng, and to the hunting grounds. You told me to be a complete people."

Yun looked at him, his eyes had never been so clear and bright.He said: "But until today, I can be myself in front of you." He looked behind him and said, "This side hall is where I lived when I was a child. My mother lived with me. I lived here Six years."

He looked into Hong Han's deep eyes and said, "My name is Yun, my surname is Qi, and I am the seventh son of Prince Hui."

Hong Han didn't seem particularly surprised.He obviously already knew that.But he didn't expect Yun to tell himself.

Being a slave as a prince and being forced to become the shadow guard of a desolate Hou Bo, Honghan thought that he would keep this secret in front of him for the rest of his life after going through such an unbearable experience.I didn't expect him to tell himself so calmly and calmly.

Yun smiled and said, "I'm very happy. Really. I thought it would be okay to be self-willed once, even if I died. But I didn't expect to meet you. I am very lucky."

Hong Han thought to himself that I was actually the lucky one, but it would be too nasty to say that.

But Yun Yun changed the subject and said, "But, I can't be your shadow guard anymore."

"Whether it's the Shadow Guard or Zhu Qing, it doesn't matter what it is. What I want is you." Hong Han knew very well that he had set his sights on this person from the very beginning.

Yun shook his head, pressed Hong Han's hand, and motioned him to listen to him. "I thought I could always watch you, watch you make the country strong, and watch you give birth to children and Sun Mantang. No matter what, I will guard you all my life, just as I once swore, life and death will be with you. But, I I found that I couldn't do it. When I saw you surrounded by a group of women and became their husband, I finally knew that I was coming to an end."

"I can't silently watch and guard you like before. Even though, as your shadow, it must be like this."

"So, I can't be your shadow anymore." Yun finally said.

Hong Han was at a loss for a moment.This really wants to be a complete rejection!Almost like a will.The shadow guard who has completed the fire contract cannot change his master, and Yun has lost the power of the flame, so there is only one dead end.He wants to use death to leave himself?Hong Han was suddenly a little annoyed, and grabbed Yun's arm. "It's not like I didn't have women before!"

Yun gently broke free, and said: "I know. And I always knew that you would have a queen, wives, and many women. I grew up in the palace, and I know it better than anyone else."

Hong Han was puzzled: "Then what are you fussing about? Can't it be the same as before?"

Yun looked at Hong Han and smiled, and touched Hong Han's face. Although his face was full of stubble, he was obviously thinner. "No. Because I didn't know what love was then."

He kissed Hong Han's lips, the cold touch was instant.

Normally, Honghan would be overjoyed when he heard such words, as if the long-awaited thing had been confirmed once.But at this moment, it sounded like it was mixed with ice.However, Honghan pulled him into his arms and hugged him tightly. The thoughts he hadn't seen for a long time suddenly burst out, and he wanted to rub him into his body.Yun's body is surprisingly thin, and he is so cold that he doesn't seem like a living person at all, but feels like a piece of ice.Hong Han picked up the knife, "I won't let you die." His tone was full of dominance that cannot be violated.

He had brought him back from the brink of death once, and knew what to do.

As long as the master is willing, it is not easy for the shadow guard to die.

"I knew it." Yun appointed sighed, held down the knife, raised his head, and looked into Honghan's eyes, "It doesn't need to be so troublesome." He kissed Honghan again, no longer a tentative touch, It was a gentle, cherished, slow and deep kiss with deep affection.

He had never been so active before, Honghan still didn't understand why, he was breathing deeply, picked up Yun, turned around and entered the inner hall.

When the flaming seal reappeared, Honghan kissed the person under him forgetfully, "You are mine, and you will always be."

Yun was at a loss for a moment, and the blazing inner breath revived in the meridians brought him back to reality.He sighed softly: "Yes, I will always be yours, but you are destined not to be mine."

***

Bai Bai grabbed Yun's wrist veins, showing a puzzled look: "Why did you suddenly get better?" The blazing power that had been completely dispelled by the Bingxi Pill showed signs of resurgence.If this continues, he can recover.

Yun retracted his hand, not knowing how to answer, he said vaguely: "It's because of the fire contract."

Bai was even more surprised, the fire deed can only be performed once, and any more will be invalid.

Yun thought of a suitable rhetoric, and finally said in relief: "Master's blood also has the effect of summoning the fire contract. In the records of Shadow Gate, there is a precedent for the master to save the shadow guard with his own blood essence."

"Hmm..." Bai nodded and pondered, he is the shadow guard of the emperor, how precious the true blood of the emperor is, naturally it is impossible to waste the life of the shadow guard, so he never knew.He looked at Yun and said, "In that case, you should go with Uncle Xi Yan."

A few days ago, the Son of Heaven had a big banquet for the princes, and many princes and princes expressed their intention to solicit Yun.Yun was noncommittal, and no one agreed.

"Does Master despise me?" This is almost like the tone of cheating when I was a child.

Bai said helplessly: "There is already a fire deed, you can only get better if you stay by his side."

Yun thought of something, held Bai's hand instead, and flung open the sleeves of his black clothes. Sure enough, he saw the arm with many old scars.He felt sad, obviously his elder brother was not a benevolent master. "Master, I want to destroy Shadow Gate, what do you think?"

Bai replied, "The royal family will be very angry."

Yun said, "It doesn't matter what the royal family is, what would you think?"

Bai thought for a while and said, "You are also from the royal family. Shadow Gate begins with the royal family and ends with the royal family. I will probably be very happy."

At this moment, Ah Jin poked his head out and shouted impatiently, "Aren't you ready yet? The ceremony is about to begin!"

The two of them agreed and walked out.

It was a sunny autumn day outside, Ah Jin was wearing a light blue palace uniform, jumping up and down to lead the way, but she was not at all dignified when she was dressed as a court lady.Yun coughed, and the little girl in front immediately stopped her steps, pretending to be well-behaved.

Bai couldn't help but said, "This kid is in Nagano."

Yun sighed, "Yes, it's my lax discipline."

Bai looked at him, but there was a smile in his eyes.

On the day of mid-autumn, the Overlord Ceremony was held at the praying platform for worshiping heaven in Tiandu.After the emperor led the princes of all countries to worship God and their ancestors, he publicly announced that King Wei became the overlord and took charge of the affairs of all countries.

King Wei is a very powerful person, seeing the emperor bowing to him in public, he feels that he is the only one in the world, and he is in a good mood immediately.At the end of the ceremony, he asked the emperor: "Now the princes of the world respect this king. I want to build the mausoleum into a nine-level mausoleum according to the emperor's regulations."

The emperor waited patiently to complete the grand ceremony, and had to bow his head to a prince. He was already very aggrieved by relying on others for everything. Hearing this request, he raised his head and looked around. What else can be distinguished from the ritual system of the princes? If I can even agree to this, what face will I have to meet the ancestors in the future?" He stood upright, his back straightened rarely in front of the princes.

Yun Zai watched the grand ceremony, it was clearly the season of warm sunshine, but the autumn wind could not conceal a sense of bleakness.Even if you don't want to admit it anymore, the glory of the royal family has finally passed.

Returning from the ceremony, the new overlord feasts on the princes.Under the Son of Heaven, above the feudal lords, the king of Wei has a unique seat on the left hand side of the throne, and his status is respected.After drinking for three rounds, King Wei formally invited Yun to go to Weiguo to be the Minister of State at the banquet.

The Son of Heaven was drinking in silence at the top, and no one answered him, but at this moment he stood up and said, "King Wei doesn't know something, I wish you a noble status. This is the seventh son of King Hui, but the only younger brother of the widow. "

As soon as these words came out, all the princes except Hong Han were taken aback.

The Son of Heaven said slowly: "Bi Wu's ability was originally the power of heaven and man left by the royal family. The seventh brother practiced hard for many years and was able to inherit the inheritance from his ancestors. He is originally a member of the royal family, and the widow should designate where he will go. I If you don’t want to force your younger brother, just ask him yourself, whichever country he wants to go to, just go there!”

When the princes heard this, they immediately looked at Yun eagerly.

Yun looked at the emperor, he didn't expect his elder brother to suddenly let go of his obsession and let him go.Many years ago, he knelt under the majesty Dan and looked up to his elder brother. His wealth and life depended on his elder brother's thoughts.At that time, my elder brother was young, vigorous, full of ambition and injustice, eager to start becoming an emperor.Now he found that his brother was really old.

For a while, there was a lot of discussion at the table.Then some princes set out their own conditions, some gave cities, some gave beauties jewelry, and some promised princesses.Only Uncle Xiyan was sitting in a corner drinking silently, and when everyone finished speaking, he stood up loudly, clasped his fists as a warrior, and said proudly: "The bandits and bandits in the Western Wilderness are rampant, and the barbarians are a disaster. I, Xiyan Honghan I would like to ask the younger brother of the king to help me, and we will go to the frontier together, and fight against the barbarians and respect the king, I wonder if it is possible?"

Yun has been waiting for Honghan to speak.Everything mentioned by all the princes before was nothing but passing smoke, because he knew that no matter what Hong Han said, he would agree. ——He couldn't refuse Honghan.But he didn't expect Hong Han to say that.

To pacify the frontier, respect the king and fight against the barbarians.This seemed to be giving him an answer, an agreement that started when he walked out of Qishan, an unspoken covenant for so long.

Yun smiled, he stood up, raised his hand to salute a literati, and said solemnly: "I would like to go to Xihuang."
