After being forced to marry an enemy tyrant

Zhaoyan stayed up for three days and three nights before, and these days he squatted outside the hall all night. At this moment, his mind finally relaxed, sleepiness hit him, and he fell asleep again.

The next day, he was still sleeping groggyly, and felt a little paw gesticulating on his face like a cat's paw, and noticed that his eyelids moved, and immediately retracted them quickly.

Zhaoyan laughed inwardly, and then pretended to be in a deep sleep. Sure enough, not long after, the little paw quietly stretched out again, poked his cheek to make sure he didn't respond, and then along his brow bone, The corners of the eyes, the corners of the lips, sketched and touched all the way down.

Zhaoyan seized the right opportunity, and shot like lightning, he directly clamped that naughty little claw in the palm of his hand, opened his eyelids, and met a pair of Wululuo's innocent eyes.

"What are you doing, just so obsessed with my body?"

Chang Ling immediately shrank back into the quilt like a loach, only showing a pair of black eyes, staring at him, the end of the eyes slightly raised, said: "You let me go."

"Don't let it go. Tell me, how will I punish you for disturbing my slumber early in the morning?"

In the last sentence, he smiled hoarsely, obviously with malicious intentions.

Chang Ling pulled his hand hard, but he didn't pull it back, he shrank back, and retorted: "It's already high in the sun, who disturbed your sleep, it's obviously you who are lazy on the bed."

Zhaoyan has a body protection of the ninth level of Tianluo, which is enough to resist the cold, so he gave all the quilts to a certain little thing last night. With long legs, he pushed aside a corner of the quilt, forced his way in and wrapped the person in his arms, and said, "That was caused by a certain little fox. Last night, who hugged my arm and held me Being a human mat made me stay up in the middle of the night, and my arm is still sore. Tell me, you are not bad."

Chang Ling tilted his head, looked at him without blinking, and said, "Then what do you want to do?"

"What do you say?"

"It's daytime now, if you dare to do anything excessive to me, I'll let Qingqiu's fox bite you to death."

"Tsk, it's so fierce."

Zhaoyan raised his eyebrows, and led the little paw in his palm to go downstream.

Chang Ling didn't expect him to be so thick-skinned, and immediately said angrily: "You, why are you like this."

Zhaoyan kept moving, biting the little thing's hair and touching the tip of the ear, and said with a low smile, "If not, do you think so?"

Chang Ling immediately opened his eyes wide and glared at him angrily.

Zhao Yan pretended to be indifferent and said: "It doesn't work to be angry. This is all caused by you last night, you don't care who cares."

He kept moving, proficiently teaching a little thing who didn't understand at all here.

It took another half an hour for this commotion to pass.

Chang Ling was so tired that he was sweating all over his body, and his nightgown was pressed against his skin. He felt sticky and uncomfortable in the morning, so he vented all the evil fire in his heart on someone who was feeling comfortable all over, and huddled his head into the quilt. Willing to ignore him.

Zhaoyan hugged him and the quilt together, and coaxed: "I will take you to take a bath, okay?"

"you--"

Chang Ling stared back at him abruptly, and said furiously, "Who wants to take a bath with you."

Zhao Yan raised his eyebrows in surprise: "What's the matter, now besides me, who else do you want to serve you, your aunt or your grandfather."

Chang Ling held his breath for a long time, and said angrily: "You will bully me."

Zhaoyan gave a long laugh, put on his clothes and got out of bed, went outside and told Qingluan to prepare hot water.Qingluan was worrying about why the young master didn't wake up after sleeping until this hour. When she saw Zhaoyan descending from the sky, she was startled at first, then heaved a long sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "I'll go now, servant girl. Besides, breakfast has been prepared Alright, after bathing later, Your Majesty and the young master will go to the platform to have breakfast together."

Zhao Yan thanked him with a smile, turned back to the bed, saw that Chang Ling was still huddled in the blanket and refused to come out, so he wrapped him in a blanket and carried him to the bathroom.

Chang Ling was so angry that he took the opportunity to bite him hard on the shoulder.

After bathing and changing into clean robes, the two went to the platform at the back of the hall to have breakfast together.

Qingluan and Cangjie were already waiting, Qingluan personally arranged the bowls and chopsticks for the two of them, and said: "I don't know what kind of taste your lord likes, so I just pick up some simple western dishes, the taste is definitely not comparable to that of Tianhuancheng. In contrast, Junshang will eat a few bites first, and wait for the servants to find a cook who is proficient in western cuisine, and then treat him well."

Zhao Yan smiled, and said, "Aunt Lao, I'm sorry."

Seeing that he called aunt one by one more fluently than himself, Chang Ling couldn't help but quietly stretched out his foot under the desk and stomped on him hard.

Zhaoyan clicked his tongue and asked Qingluan: "Are all your little foxes in Qingqiu as fierce as him?"

Qingluan couldn't help laughing and said: "It's also strange, the young master usually has a very good temper in front of us palace servants and servants, but for some reason, he is extremely domineering in front of the king."

"I see." Zhao Yan said leisurely, "I must have been spoiled by this lord."

Chang Ling was gnawing on pastries, and when he heard this, he opened his eyes wide in anger and retorted: "It's clear that you always bully me."

Seeing the two bickering like three-year-old children, Qingluan retreated to the side tactfully, feeling a lot of emotion in her heart, it's been a long time since the young master has been so lively and talkative.

Cangjie obviously felt the same way, he walked quietly to Qingluan, winked at her and said, "Let's go down and watch, let them talk for a while."

Qingluan nodded, and walked down the jade steps with him.

Chang Ling finished half a bowl of Ling rice porridge, and said to Zhao Yan, "I want to tell you something."

Zhaoyan picked up chopsticks and stuffed the spirit pork into Xiaodong's mouth, and said unhurriedly, "What's the matter?"

Chang Ling had been deliberating all morning, and seeing his loose attitude, he decided to cut to the chase as before, and said, "Don't you know Aunt Qingluan's true identity?"

Zhao Yan nodded.

Chang Ling said: "Qingqiu is very short of weapons now, so I want Aunt Qingluan to lead people to rebuild the foundry of the Moxie clan."

"I know, it's not kind to Sirius to do this, so I want to ask for your opinion."

Zhao Yan smiled: "That's all?"

Chang Ling felt that his reaction was not normal. After thinking about it, he emphasized his tone and said seriously: "Are you listening carefully? I said that I want to build a foundry for the Moxie clan in Qingqiu."

"I am not deaf."

Zhaoyan still had the unruly tone: "You can build it if you want, it's Qingqiu state affairs, you don't need to discuss it with me."

"Do you really think so?"

"Naturally, my words are hard to follow. When did I lie to you?"

Chang Ling said: "I don't understand."

Zhao Yan chuckled: "I don't understand what. You think Qingqiu's foundry is a threat to Sirius, and you don't understand why I don't care about it, do you?"

"Isn't it?"

"Of course." Zhaoyan's eyes were clear and sharp: "If this matter is handled by someone else, my first reaction may be to cut off that person's head. But you are different. For you, I am willing Think about some things more rationally and calmly. I am not a small-minded person. I know that there are heaven and earth in this world. Qian, even without Mo Xie, there will be other tribes who are proficient in casting. Just like the wolf tribe was still wandering in the cold territory thousands of years ago, and the fox tribe was still living humblely under the water tribe. Instead of letting others Take it, suddenly stab me in the back, it's better to take it for you. Besides-"

He raised his eyebrows and showed a narrow smile: "Even you belong to me, and I am afraid that Qingqiu will not be able to go to heaven."

Chang Ling was a little touched at first, but when he saw that he didn't say a few serious words, he started to lose his tune. He hummed heavily, then turned his head to look at the lake outside the platform, and didn't want to pay attention to him.

After the palace people worked hard to take care of it, the dead grass on the lake was cleaned up, and a large piece of green and oily spiritual grass had grown up, luxuriant and luxuriant.The sun shines on the lake through the staggered branches and leaves, stirring up a pool of sparkling light. Looking from a distance, it looks like a pool of broken silver shaking, and the spring is bright and the scenery is peaceful.

Looking at the clumps of spiritual grass swaying in the wind, Chang Ling couldn't help but slowly twitch the corner of his mouth. After this heavy burden was lifted, he felt unprecedentedly relaxed physically and mentally.As for the days to come, let's talk about it later. For the first time, he didn't want to think so far.

**

The two lingered in the palace for two days, and on the third day, Zhao Yan formally returned to Sirius.

Changling stood on the tower, watching Zhaoyan completely disappear on the official road in the distance, Fang and Xiyun walked back together.

"The commander-in-chief has already discussed with the clan elders. Three days later, the Fox Emperor canonization ceremony will be officially held."

Chang Ling nodded and listened to the words behind him.

Sure enough, Xiyun stopped, looked into the distance, and said solemnly: "According to the rules of the fox clan, every new fox emperor who succeeds to the throne must pay homage to the ancestors of the ancestral temple and pay homage to the spirit of the previous fox emperor. Bo Hui lost Virtue, who has already been imprisoned in the ancestral hall to think about his mistakes, is naturally not qualified to enjoy this honor."

Chang Ling twitched the corner of his mouth lightly, and said, "I understand, you just want to say that he is qualified."

Xi Yun frowned, apparently still dissatisfied with the young master's attitude towards his biological father.Ever since he knew about the past, he knew that he was not qualified to accuse the elders too much, so he said with a tense face: "This is a rule, no one can break it, even if it is just a show, the young master has to go."

Chang Ling looked at him with great surprise.

"Okay, I'll just go."

This time it was Xiyun's accident.He originally thought that today he would have to spend a lot of trouble and use both soft and hard tactics to settle this matter, but he never expected Chang Ling to let go so easily.

"But I also have a condition."

"What conditions?"

"The border guards must take off the epaulets embroidered with Yan characters. I need the border guards to be the iron wall of the entire Qingqiu, not his own private soldiers."

Xiyun was silent for a while, and said: "How difficult is this matter. If the young master is free, I happen to have a relic, which I want to hand over to the young master."

The two went directly to the border guard camp.

Xi Yun asked Chang Ling to wait outside, while he himself walked behind the screen and took out a long treasure box. When Chang Ling saw the treasure box, his expression turned a little ugly.

Because when he sneaked into the Shouyang Palace back then, it was from this treasure box that he saw the Ruanyue Lingjia engraved with his birth date.The queen mother said that it was a birthday present from that person.

Although on the night of his birthday, he did not receive the so-called birthday gift, only a cold blood jade collar.

Xiyun put the treasure box on the case, and said: "I found this when I sorted out Mr. Boyan's belongings. Presumably, it should be a gift from Mr. Bo Yan to the young master. After reading it, the young master will understand."

Chang Ling stared at the treasure box, feeling that his memory had been transported back to the Shouyang Palace that night. After a while, he stretched out his hand, unsealed the box with ease, and opened the box lid.

The box contained neither gold, silver, jewels nor spiritual treasures.An epaulet embroidered with silver thread lay quietly at the bottom of the box, but the word embroidered on it was not the word "Yan", but the word "Ling". The word "Ling" is not complete, and a small dot on the right is missing. Obviously, the person who embroidered the characters was delayed, so that this defective product has been sealed in the box for 200 years.

Chang Ling was stunned for a moment, took out the epaulet from the bottom of the box with trembling fingers, stared at the words on it, and was speechless for a long time.

Xiyun said: "Although the epaulettes are incomplete, the meaning of Mr. Boyan is already obvious. The future of the border guards should be decided by the young master. However, the border guards were created by Mr. Boyan. Name taboo words are used to make epaulets to show absolute loyalty. Since the young master intends to change this practice, it is up to the young master to decide what words should be embroidered on the epaulets."

Chang Ling lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then said: "The fox clan worships the moon god, and the spiritual power of the altar of the fox clan also comes from the Zhiyue Bridge, so let's use the moon as a symbol, and there is no need to embroider characters."

Xiyun nodded: "That's fine, I'll do it right away."

Chang Ling still put the epaulette into the treasure box, sealed it with a sealing technique, brought it back to Chenfeng Palace, and put it together with the old things left by Fox Empress Jiang Yin.Only occasionally in the dead of night, I would take it out and put it on my lap to rub it carefully.

Three days later, the canonization ceremony was officially held, and Chang Ling officially succeeded the fox emperor.

The large and small government affairs that have been suspended for several months have almost piled up into a mountain, completely drowning Chang Ling.After Changling finished his court during the day, he went to Lingjing with Xiyun and Qingluan to see the supervision of the foundry and listen to the craftsmen's report on the latest progress.Then go to the outskirts of the city to check the reconstruction of the medicine garden.I get up early and stay late every day, but I don't have much free time to think about Zhaoyan. Only when I sleep at night, the thoughts buried in my heart will grow wildly like vines.

Fortunately, Zhaoyan is not a person who can endure loneliness, and letters are sent almost every three to five days. For this reason, he has specially domesticated a blue bird for sending letters.

Chang Ling knew from the letter that he went to Nanyue, Ancient Dian, Central Shu, Dahuang, Xihuang, Penglai, Taoshan, Xuanyuan, and many strange tribes he had never heard of. It's weird, it doesn't look like going to war at all, it's more like wandering around on a whim.

One day Chang Ling couldn't stand it anymore, so he held a candlestick in one hand and a marching map in the other, and sat under the bed tent wrapped in a quilt to study for a whole night, but he still couldn't sort out his thoughts.

Can't help but wonder what this guy is doing.

However, due to the reputation of the Heavenly Wolf Xuanling Iron Cavalry, the sound shook the entire Xianzhou. In less than half a year, Zhaoyan still conquered most of the southern territory with thunderous speed. .

After half a year, the foundry finally took shape, and under the guidance of Qingluan, the first batch of Moxie soldiers were cast. As soon as the news came out, Xianzhou was greatly shocked.The generals of the Black Fox tribe represented by Heishan have also been reused again. As early as when Changling was in Sirius, Heishan followed the instructions of Changling and secretly trained a group of soldiers and horses in the spirit realm. The brave and unparalleled combat style of the clan quickly replaced the original royal guards and became an important force to defend the royal capital.Changling asked Tangyue, who was born in the Black Fox Clan, to be the commander, and to coordinate all the soldiers and horses in the royal city.

Suddenly, a year passed silently, and Qingqiu ushered in the first snow.

Standing on the platform of Chenfeng Palace, Chang Ling watched the snowflakes fall quietly into the lake, only to realize that he and Zhaoyan hadn't seen each other for a whole year.

As for Jade Bird's letterhead, it was three months ago.

There is only one line of scribbled words on the letter: Do you miss me?I miss you very much, very much.Obviously it was written temporarily on the horse.

He answered a word truthfully, thinking.

That person never heard back.

According to the rules, the previous Fox Emperors had to live in the Shouyang Hall, but Chang Ling insisted on staying in the Chenfeng Hall and did not move away, because there were few common memories of them in Qingqiu.

He was afraid that the man would come back and not find him.

After a bustling year, the next spring came in a blink of an eye.

Chang Ling often feels tired and weak, and obviously feels that his spirit is not as good as last year. Xiyun and Qingluan noticed the clues and stopped letting Chang Ling run to the foundry and medicine garden.

The Chenfeng Palace is near the lake, and the humidity is too heavy, it is not suitable for recuperation, Changling had to move into the Shouyang Palace.

Changling stays in the palace every day except for going to court, imitating Zhaoyan's appearance, sometimes drawing a cute little wolf, sometimes a fierce hungry wolf, and sometimes a pitiful wolf drenched in the rain .

Changling also slept longer and longer.

One day, I got up in the morning and had dinner, copied a painting, went to sleep in the afternoon, and didn't wake up until night.

Chang Ling glanced sideways, and just saw a ray of moonlight shining through the window lattice, and suddenly remembered that at this time last year, Zhao Yan climbed in from the window of Shouyang Hall and took him sneaking out of the palace to pick fruits, and felt a little bit like a world away .

Left and right couldn't sleep anymore, so Chang Ling got out of bed, put on his shoes and socks, put on a cloak, and walked out of the palace gate with a glazed lamp.

Ehuang Hall has been uninhabited for a long time, and the steps are covered with weeds.The old housekeeper who guards the door is sitting by the door and taking a nap, and has already fallen into a drowsy dream.

Chang Ling easily pushed open the palace door and walked in.

The loquat trees in the courtyard are still graceful and graceful, and seem to be more lush than last year. The trees are full of big and fragrant yellow and orange fruits.

Chang Ling sat down on the stone bench, hung the glazed lamp on the tree trunk, raised his head, stared at the fruit on the tree without blinking in a daze.

The glazed lamp under the eaves was still swaying, and the light yellow brilliance gently brushed over the star pupils and black hair of the palace master.

"Clap."

Suddenly there was a sound in the ear.

Chang Ling followed the sound and found that it was the wind that had blown a loquat fruit from the tree to the ground.Chang Ling stood up, found the fruit, bent down and picked it up.

He wiped it with his cuff and bit his mouth lightly.

Before I tasted anything, I heard a chuckle from behind: "If you want to eat fruit, why don't you let me pick it for you?"

Chang Ling's body froze, as if he was in a dream.

After a long time, holding the bitten fruit in his hand, he turned around in a daze.

Zhaoyan was wearing a black cloak, sitting on the back of the unicorn casually, just like when he first met, stretched out his arms to fish the little thing on the back of the beast, and said with a smile: "Why, I haven't seen you for a year, and I don't know you anymore ?”
