Younger brother

On the eve of New Year’s Eve, the lights of all the houses in the imperial capital were kept on all night long, and the red lanterns lined up in front of every house formed a long line. The red light reflected the faint snow light of a thin layer of snow on the street, but it showed a bit of peace. quiet.

After drinking Changchun wine at Shan's house, Shan Qiye took Shan Niantong, accompanied by Shan Yuyan, and got into the carriage together.

Dada's hooves sounded along the deserted streets, and it seemed extraordinarily ethereal in this silent night of family reunion.

"Brother, where are we going?" Shan Niantong gripped Shan Qiye's sleeve robe nervously.

Shan Niantong's eyes were covered with three layers of black veils, and the impenetrable black blocked his sight, which was specially instructed by Shan Qiye before going out.

"Don't be afraid, Tong'er, brother, he won't sell you." Shan Yuyan laughed.

Shan Qiye reached out his hand to smooth Shun Dan Niantong's smooth black hair, and said, "If you want to sell it, you will also sell Zhiyan."

Shan Yuyan's smile immediately froze on her face: "Brother, you don't have to be so heartless."

Shan Qiye said calmly: "That day a woman named Titi came to the house to look for you."

Shan Yuyan's heart tightened, and she grabbed Shan Qiye's sleeve: "Brother, what did you tell her?"

Shan Qiye opened his fingers one by one, and said expressionlessly: "What do you want me to tell her?"

Shan Yuyan looked confused, calmed down, and sat in a corner of the carriage without saying a word.

It has been a month since he escaped home from Yinzhou, and during this month, Shan Yuyan would often go to Haitang Garden, and sometimes when he looked at Tong'er, he often felt that his brother Yao had come back again. So alive, living in front of him.

But he knew very clearly that the boy who liked to wear red would never come back.

Shan Yuyan recalled that in the days when his younger brother had just died, his elder brother Shan Qiye, that incomparable man, often looked at the city that was once full of red jade with a sullen expression. Garden of Begonias.

Thinking back now, Shan Yuyan finally understands that it must be that there is nothing worse than heartbreak.

But now, seeing her elder brother looking tenderly at the boy in front of him with such tender eyes, Shan Yuyan felt that his elder brother, Shan Qiye, seemed to be alive again.

Even though he knew that he was not that person, he was still determined, this was beyond Shan Yuyan's comprehension.

But he chose to bless, he hoped that this beautiful and ignorant young man could bring Shan Qiye the warmth of his life.

Shan Yuyan can see the love of others clearly, but not her own heart.

He has admiration and admiration for Ma Fuya Yan Titi, but the only thing is that he has no love.

The woman who licked blood on the sword of the dead had a past that he didn't know about, an arrogance he admired, and a desire for love that surpassed ordinary people, but Shan Qiye didn't dare to love her.

The carriage finally stopped in front of a building made of limestone bricks. Shan Qiye got out of the carriage with Shan Niantong in his arms, and Shan Yuyan followed behind.

This solitary building seems to be independent of the festive atmosphere of celebrating the New Year in the whole city. The blue-gray tone and sharp eaves of the whole body make it reveal a bit bleak and gloomy. Several crows perched on the sharp eaves flew away in fright. Start, skip a few black shadows.

Although Shan Niantong couldn't see anything, he couldn't help but bury his face in Shan Qiye's arms due to the chill coming from around him.

The cold black iron was opened by two guards, and the sound of the chains and shackles dragging on the ground echoed in the empty and deep dungeon. The dim tunnel with only a few fire lights led all the way to the darkest part of the dungeon. place.

Shan Yuyan followed behind Shan Qiye who was holding Shan Niantong in her arms. The rotten atmosphere in the deep cold dungeon made him sick.

Finally, in the penultimate dungeon, Shan Yuyan saw that tortured figure.

Dong Rui, who was chained to the punishment post, was no longer as majestic as before. His hair was disheveled and his clothes were in tatters. Days of sleepless torture made his face sallow, and his lips that used to laugh and sneer at others were chapped.

Shan Yuyan almost failed to recognize him, this is the elder son of the Dong family who taunted him on the boat that day.

Shan Yuyan said with some regret: "Dong Shizi, it seems that we can't say that we are safe and sound."

Dong Rui raised his face with some difficulty, and when he saw Shan Yuyan's face, his expression immediately became resentful: "The thing I regret the most is that I didn't kill you with a sword that day."

"Although Zhiyan knew about the Dong family's smuggling of official salt, it wasn't him who reported it." Shan Qiye said indifferently, "Even if he is killed, the Dong family will still be unable to avoid being robbed."

"It's you?" Dong Rui looked at Shan Qiye, "My Dong family has no grievances with you, why do you want to kill me?"

Shan Qiye's deep laughter echoed in the dungeon: "It is true that the Dong family has no enmity with me, but you are not."

Dong Rui looked stunned, but saw the boy in white in Shan Qiye's arms raised his face and turned to his direction. Panic and fear immediately appeared on Dong Rui's stunned face, and his lips trembled: "No no no, impossible."

Although the boy in white was blindfolded by the black veil, his white but beautiful face was Dong Rui's nightmare.

When he was in Qingshan Academy, he had repeatedly bullied the boy with such a face, but in the boy's dream, Dong Rui had pressed him down countless times and smeared him severely. The boy named Shan Niantong accompanied him His whole teenage dreams.

Finally, on the day of Zhongyuan four years ago, he ruthlessly destroyed his youthful dream. After the almost crazy violence, he dug out the warm heart of that young man.

At that time, he felt an unprecedented pleasure and satisfaction, but this pleasure only lasted for one night.

For the rest of the day, whenever he dreamed back at midnight, he would see Shan Niantong wearing a sacrificial robe, lying bloody on his bed, with no heart in his empty chest, the face that pierced through the youth's spring dream, It became Dong Rui's nightmare.

Dong Rui began to become more and more tyrannical. He used all his vicious words to hurt Li Fu's pain. Only when he saw the same pain on Li Fu's face, could Dong Rui feel his fear eased a little.

Now seeing the face in the nightmare with his own eyes reappeared in front of him alive, Dong Rui only felt endless fear.

"He died, I killed him, he died, I killed him, he died..." Dong Rui repeated these words in horror.

"Brother..." Shan Niantong, who couldn't see anything, felt a little frightened when he heard Dong Rui's almost crazy voice. He stretched out his arms to wrap around Shan Qiye's neck, and put his body close to Shan Qiye.

Shan Qiye kissed him tenderly on the forehead, but said in a low and indifferent voice: "Dug out his heart."

Shan Qiye stretched out his finger, and the ghost general You Ning appeared in the dungeon out of thin air, approaching Dong Rui, who was on the verge of collapse, with an extremely chilling posture.

But Shan Qiye's sullen voice sounded again: "Give him back everything he has done."

"Brother, I don't want to be here." Shan Niantong gripped Shan Qiye's skirt tightly.

Shan Qiye walked out of the dungeon with Shan Niantong in his arms, and there was a shrill scream behind him.

Shan Niantong couldn't see everything, but he could smell the smell of blood and decay floating in the air, which made him extremely frightened. The black iron gate of the dungeon was locked again. When the chains collided with the ground and made a cold sound, Shan Niantong Niantong suddenly screamed.

"Don't, don't..." Tears kept seeping from the black veil in front of his eyes, wet his pale face.

In a panic, Shan Niantong tore off the black veil in front of her eyes, revealing her pair of completely black and white, slightly red peach blossom eyes.

When Shan Yuyan saw those eyes, his heart sank. What he couldn't understand at first, now he finally understood everything.

No wonder he has the same peerless face as Shan Niantong, he can't remember everything that happened in the past 16 years, that boy in white clothes with begonia pattern is none other than his younger brother who was sacrificed by blood on Zhongyuan Day many years ago.

Even Shan Yuyan, who was born in the Shan family of the yin and yang family, did not know how Shan Qiye managed to let Yaodi, who had been sacrificed alive and his soul was swallowed up, return to this world.

On the return carriage, seeing Shan Qiye hugging his younger brother tightly, his younger brother's complexion was pale, but still maintained the gorgeous face of a 16-year-old, which made Shan Yuyan feel a chill down his spine.

And when Shan Yuyan got off the carriage, he saw the person he wanted to see the most and the person he didn't want to see again.

Mafuya Yantiti wore a purple gold robe this day, and stood tall and tall by the gate of the Shan Mansion. The delicate golden placket made her noble and extraordinary, and her cold and stern expression softened the moment she saw Shan Yuyan. , and then returned to indifference.

Shan Qiye carried Shan Niantong into the gate of the Shan Mansion, and said to Shan Yuyan: "Jiyan, the visitor is a guest, the princess of Aoguo has come to look for you many times, I think you still have a lot to say, so be good!" Let me explain."

"Yes, big brother." Shan Yuyan agreed, and led Mafuya Yantiti into Xiyuan where he lived.

As soon as she entered the Xiyuan hall, Shan Yuyan was pushed down on the carpet by a force.

Mafuya Yantiti clenched his collar tightly, her voice hoarse: "Say, why did you run away?"

Shan Yuyan wanted to let go of her hand, but couldn't move her, so she said helplessly: "You let go of me first, I am the second son of the Shan family anyway, how can you hold my head up in front of the servants like this? .”

Ma Fuya Yan Titi glanced back coldly, all the servants in the hall left, and even closed the door for them.

Facing Ma Fuya Yan Titi's cold Danfeng eyes, Shan Yuyan swallowed with difficulty: "Tie Ti, listen to me, that day I actually..."

"Call again." Mafuya Yantiti's voice suddenly became deeper and deeper.

"Ah?" Shan Yuyan was stunned.

"Call me again, my name." Mafuya Yantiti said.

"Ji Ti?" Shan Yuyan called again uncertainly.

Just when Shan Yuyan wanted to continue to defend, Mafuya Yantiti kissed his lips. Her thin lips were very soft, but her kiss was not gentle, it could even be called rough. One kiss almost broke Shan Yuyan. Yuyan swallowed it alive.

After a long time, Mafuya Yantiti finally let go of Shan Yuyan: "What else do you want to say to me?"

Shan Yuyan had already discarded her helmet and armor, her mind went blank: "No, I don't want to."

"Then it's my turn to tell." Mafuya Yantiti said, "Shan Yuyan, I like you, not the kind of love that you fell in love with at first sight, but the kind that I like more and more later on."

Seeing Mafuya Yantiti's serious expression, Shan Yuyan was stunned for a moment.

"Originally, I only lived for my clan and my throne, but now, I have decided that I want to live for you."

Shan Yuyan saw that those originally fierce Danfeng eyes revealed determination and firmness, as well as great tenderness.

Shan Yuyan had seen such tender eyes before, it was the expression his elder brother Shan Qiye often showed when facing Tong'er.

"Giti..." Shan Yuyan stretched out her hand to caress Ma Fuya's Yan Giti's slender neck, moved her fingertips slightly, and stabbed her unconscious with a needle, "I'm sorry..."

Shan Yuyan brushed Mafuya Yantiti lightly with her thumb, just kissed her light-colored thin lips, and then ordered someone to send her back to the inn, but she packed her luggage overnight and escaped from Shan's house again.

Before he left, Shan Qiye stood at the gate of Shan's house and asked him: "Have you really thought about it, do you want to do this?"

Shan Yuyan said to Shan Qiye: "Brother, I know, I have never been better than you."

"Not only in cultivation skills, but also in emotional matters." Shan Yuyan's back looked a little dazed in the night, "But, I have my own choice, I can't, use my whole life to drag her down. "

"She is an eagle, she should soar in the sky, and should not be fettered by an idiot like me." Shan Yuyan said.

"She doesn't necessarily think so." Shan Qiye's voice was not as cold as before.

Shan Yuyan turned her head and smiled at Shan Qiye, and said, "Brother, I really admire you, why you brother Yao can do this, I know, it's not brotherhood like you and me."

Shan Yuyan said: "Brother, if possible, I hope you can stay with Tong'er forever."

"Impossible." Shan Qiye said, "I will not have an afterlife with him, and there will be no reincarnation."

Shan Yuyan heard his elder brother say in an affectionate tone, "I just want to be with him in this life, day and night, day and night."

Shan Yuyan said with a complicated expression, "Even if he doesn't remember anything, right?"

Shan Qiye resolutely said: "I would rather, he never remembers again."

Shan Yuyan couldn't see Shan Qiye's expression, but he already understood that his eldest brother had a decisive and decisive love for his Haitang.

"I understand." Shan Yuyan's expression was blurred in the night, "I still can't do it, love someone like you."

Shan Qiye handed the reins of the horse to Shan Yuyan, and said: "Then let's go, and come back to her when you can love her."

Shan Yuyan reached out to take the rein from Shan Qiye's hand, said softly, "Brother, take care." Then she got on the horse, and the imperial horse ran out of Shan's house, and disappeared into the vast night in the imperial capital of Ling Kingdom.
