bluestone

But for more than a year, as if agreed, Han Tuo, Lu Yunshu, Zigui...everyone around Qingming left him one by one, leaving him alone, ascending to a high position, holding great power, and ruling the world... …

Five years later

With the destruction of the Rong people, the fighting in the northwest gradually subsided.

As for the south, Old General Han returned to the imperial capital to recuperate three years ago because of his poor health, and the important southern town that had been taken away had already been successfully recaptured under Lu Yunshu's scheme.

It’s just that for some reason, Gudan has frequently harassed the southern border in the past few years, but there have been very few large-scale wars with heavy losses. Not only does Gudan not look like an invader, but he is more like a noisy child begging for adults’ attention.

Qingming also sent a message to Lu Yunshu, asking about the situation in the south, and the answers were all perfunctory words such as "good" and "shangjia"; of course, he also sent a message to the general in the south, and most of the replies were some scene words , especially Lu Yunshu's words that are approachable, quick-witted, and unparalleled in strategy.

Quick wit and unparalleled strategy did not arouse Qing Ming's feelings, but "approachable"?

If others don't understand him, how can Qingming not understand him?

Lu Yunshu was usually obsessed with the art of war, and basically didn't communicate with others. Although he had a good personality, he was not good at communicating with others. Many people who didn't know him even thought he was an extremely lonely person, so how could he feel approachable?

Even if it grows due to the change of the environment, it will not change so much?

Qing Ming had doubts, but no one could answer them, so he could only ignore them for the time being, and wait until the war was over and he came back.

Not long after the Northwest War ended, when the Zhenxi Army returned to the capital, King Mulei of Gudan sent a letter of credence, requesting peace negotiations, and decided to come to the Imperial Capital to discuss peace talks with him.

Looking back on the past six years, except for Gudan's crazy attack and invasion at the beginning, the subsequent wars were like child's play, and there was no sign of invasion at all.

Especially compared with the sneak attack and assassination of the Rong people, it seems that Gudan's intentions are unclear.

A war was launched, but they retreated and did not attack, and were even easily recaptured in the town; they didn't want to start a war, but they garrisoned heavily and harassed them from time to time.

Qing Ming really couldn't see through the intention of this Gudan King, but since the other party had already offered to come to the Imperial Capital for peace talks, why would he refuse?

Qingming put down his credentials and sneered.

In May of the sixth year of Emperor Wen

As if they had made an appointment, the wars in the northwest and south started at the same time and ended at the same time, and the two armies returned to Beijing almost at the same time.

In the northwest, apart from the Zhenxi Army, there is also the family of the owner of Xishan City who has been helping them all these years; in the south, apart from the Suiyuan Army, there are King Gudan and Gudan envoys.

One night in mid to late May

Emperor's bedroom

Qingming lying on the bed suddenly woke up.

It was obviously a terrible dream, but he didn't remember half of it.

Sitting up from the bed covered in cold sweat, he lifted the bed curtain, intending to drink some water to moisten his throat.

The moment he raised his eyes, his expression froze.

In the shadow of the inner room, there was a person standing there at some point, and Qingming couldn't even detect his aura at all.

"Who are you?" Qing Ming asked coldly.

The man stepped out of the shadows.

Qingming gradually saw his appearance clearly, slowly widened his eyes, his expression was surprised, panicked, pained, sad, lonely...at last he returned to calm.

"Aren't you still on your way back? Why did you appear in my bedroom?" He subconsciously called himself "I".

The man's footsteps that could be traced paused slightly, and then walked towards him.

"Why don't you talk?" Qing Ming frowned.

The man still approached him calmly.

Qingming felt that there seemed to be something different about him, but he couldn't see what was different.

The man finally came up to him and stopped.

Qingming raised his head to look at him, and suddenly felt that such an angle made him feel very oppressive.

Putting his hands on the edge of the bed, he was about to stand up and get rid of this slump, but unexpectedly he raised his hand and pushed him.

Unprepared, Qingming was pushed down on the couch by him, and his back hit the quilt with a muffled sound.

Before he could reprimand him, he felt a weight on his body, the light and shadow in front of his eyes changed, and the familiar and warm breath was already on his lips.

Qingming opened his eyes wide and glared at him angrily.

His eyes were still calm, without any waves.

Qing Ming opened his mouth to speak, but it became his chance to successfully invade.

That feeling of familiarity, nostalgia, and nostalgia for him, the intertwining of lips and teeth, and the love for each other, everything is unspoken.

But Qingming cannot sink.

He knows he can't.

Tongue struggling to resist his intrusion, resisting his entry, staring at him piercingly, shaking his head, and pushing and rejecting with both hands...

"Han... um... put..."

The man's eyes sank, and he put his two hands together with one hand and pressed them on top of his head, and covered his eyes with the other hand, as if he didn't want to see the rejection in his eyes.

There was darkness in front of my eyes, and my brain was buzzing due to lack of oxygen. My mind was not clear, but my body felt extremely clear.

Because of the severe injury five years ago, not only did he lose all his internal energy, but his body also became cold. Throughout the year, the skin of his whole body was slightly cold, and when the rain and snow came, his knees and left shoulder would still bruise. A pinprick-like sting.

The man's hot breath blew on his cool skin, causing him to tremble and appear more sensitive.

The man kissed all the way, from the lips to the throat, to the collarbone, to the shoulders, first the right shoulder, then the left shoulder... He stopped.

Qingming didn't know why he stopped suddenly.

Before he could take the opportunity to push him away, the man took a step ahead of him and lifted the shackles.

The pressure on his body disappeared, Qingming opened his eyes, but found that the room was empty.

Looking at this spacious bedroom, Qingming's heart is also empty...

The light and shadow disappeared, Qingming opened his eyes, and found that there might be a glimmer of light coming out of the window, judging by the time, it should not be the morning time.

He sat up quietly, and looked at the empty inner room through the thin bed curtain, his eyes were calm and calm, but his heart was full of turmoil.

Is it a dream?

Not a dream?

Suddenly he couldn't figure it out.

Throwing aside the bed curtain abruptly, she walked barefoot to the mirror.

In the mirror, his clothes were neat and his body was normal, so Qingming heaved a sigh of relief.

Suddenly remembered something, and suddenly touched his left shoulder... Did he stop because of that scar?

Indeed, Han Tuo was familiar with every inch of his body, except for that scar. After all, after he left, he didn't know that he had been to the Northwest, let alone that he had been shot by an arrow, and of course he didn't know that he had a scar on his shoulder.

But, it's too real.

Qingming stood in front of the mirror with his hands down.

Is it a dream or reality?

No matter which one, Qing Ming couldn't completely convince himself.

In that case, why bother thinking about it?

Qingming smiled bluntly, with a slightly mocking expression.

It's not that he didn't receive the news. Han Tuo was rescued by Orion in the mountains. To thank him, he brought Orion's mother and daughter back to Beilu City. Later, Orion's daughter followed him all the time.

Han Tuo was naturally very kind to the savior.

Heh ~ savior?

Qingming couldn't remember the girl's appearance for a long time, but only remembered that she was a lively and cheerful girl, who happened to appear at the time when he was most frustrated, and it was normal for him to have a relationship for a long time.

From the heart-piercing heart when I first received this news, to now I can mention it without changing my face.

My heart is almost numb with pain.

Qingming thought about it for a while, and said softly, "Is the dark guard here?"

"I don't know what's important for the Holy Spirit?" A black figure knelt behind him.

"Did someone break into the Emperor's bedroom tonight?"

"Back to the emperor, the minister and his subordinates have been guarding outside the emperor's bedroom. No one has ever seen anyone break in."

Qingming thought for a while, but was still uneasy, "Go and find out, has Han Tuo left the Zhenxi Army team? The sooner the better."

"Yes." The black shadow flashed and disappeared again.

Not long after, Dong Gui knocked on the door, "Your Majesty, it's time to go to court."

"come in."

Dong Gui led the palace servants to open the door and enter...

The moment he stepped out of the emperor's bedroom, Qingming raised the corners of his lips and showed a faint smile, as usual.

It was just a refined mask.

At this time, his whole body was cold and alienated, and there was no trace of a smile in his eyes.

For the next two days, that person didn't appear in the dream again, but Qingming always slept restlessly, waking up before dawn, and couldn't fall asleep again after waking up.

On the third day, that person appeared again.

Qing Ming didn't even get out of bed this time, just sat on the bed and looked at the figure outside the bed curtain.

Separated by a layer of gauze, neither of them could clearly see each other, but their sightlines were closely intertwined.

"Is this a dream? Or reality?"

It was still Qing Ming who spoke first.

"Why are you here?"

The other party was silent.

"Still not talking?"

Qingming looked at him for a while, then lay on his back on the bed.

"If this is a dream, I don't want to go back to sleep."

After saying that, he closed his eyes and stopped looking at everything here.

But before he fell asleep, he felt a gust of wind blowing, and when he opened his eyes, it was still a step too late. Before he could react, his body had already been turned over.

Qingming struggled subconsciously, and suddenly there was another sound, that he couldn't break away from that person at all.

In the past, it could only be a tie, let alone now that you have lost your internal strength?

Simply lie on the bed and see what he is going to do.

The white pajamas on his body were pulled away, exposing a large area of ​​back skin, and his whole body was cool.

Then, a warm and rough feeling hit the back of his shoulder, lingering on the scar on his left shoulder.

The injured skin was already sensitive, causing him to tremble slightly.

"What are you going to do?" Qing Ming gritted his teeth and asked.

There was silence behind him, and the man still didn't speak.

It's just that the feeling on the shoulder has changed, it's not warm and rough, but moist and soft...

is that lip?

Qingming reacted slowly.

The feeling of lightly sticking to the scar there is lingering, warm and soft, as if afraid of breaking something, so soft that you can hardly feel it.

Such gentleness is the cruelest punishment and torture for Qing Ming.

If this is a dream, he hopes to wake up immediately...

【... Qingming...】

Qingming woke up from the dream again, and looked out of the bed curtain immediately.

Nothing.

Then he checked his clothes again.

well dressed.

"Huh~" He breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, a black shadow fell in the hall.

"Have you found it?" Qing Ming lifted the bed curtain and sat on the edge of the bed.

"The minister's subordinates sent back news that General Han has never left the team."

"Check it out?"

"The hidden guards sent by the emperor for the second time never took a step away from General Han, so there should be no mistakes."

"I see, you go down."

Qingming sat on the edge of the bed and meditated.

Sure enough...was it a dream...
