It's not good to be a courtier

The cold winter in the snow-wood forest has just passed, and some tree branches still have some residual snow. The temperature in the forest is very low, and people can breathe out bursts of white air in the forest.Feng Yan woke up in a daze, his whole body was in pain and he fell apart, and his left leg hurt like a cramp every time he moved.The whole body was covered with thick grass, and he was dragged into the forest step by step.

Feng Yan looked up at the top of his head, the twilight was dark, Murong Qi had his back to him, with a length of straw rope on his shoulder, bowed and dragged forward, step by step rhythmically.The grass rope drew a deep mark on his shoulder, and some blood was scraped out, but he didn't seem to feel it, and he continued to pull forward desperately.

"Murong Qi," Feng Yan said, his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he only made a few breathless sounds, but the people in front of him still heard it, Murong Qi immediately threw away the straw rope, and threw himself on Feng Yan Surprised and said: "You're awake! Hold on, I found a cave where I can hide temporarily, and I'll be there soon." After speaking, he immediately went to drag the grass rope again, but Feng Yan stretched out his hand and grabbed it.At that time, Feng Yan was top-heavy and found it difficult to reach out his hand, but when he held Murong Qi's hand in his palm, it was scorching hot, and Murong Qi's face was glistening with water, as if he was crying. He immediately said in awe: " I can walk by myself," he said as he bent his legs and half stood up, his head was dizzy immediately, he resisted the urge to retch, and stood up vigorously.

Murong Qi supported him, and worriedly said: "You hit a big bump on the head and bled a lot, I can drag you, I can..."

"Where is the cave...?" Feng Yan left his mouth and stopped his words. Murong Qi pointed in the distance, and the two supported each other and walked for a quarter of an hour before they arrived. The hole is so narrow that you can't see it unless you look carefully.Enduring his nausea, Feng Yan found some dry grass and wooden branches, lit a fire to make the cave warm, and found some thick tree trunks, and made a simple door to cover the cave entrance.

Murong Qi surrounded him watching him busy, a little bit unable to intervene, said anxiously: "Tell me what I can do."

Feng Yan coughed lightly, pointed to the dry place that was suitable for two people to sit on and said: "I made a simple bed, you lie down and rest for a while, my side is almost ready, I don't need you help."

Murong Qi's glass-colored eyes were shining, he shook his head and said, "Your injury is serious, you should go to rest first." He picked up the dry branch next to him, "Otherwise I will add fire to you, or give you... ..."

Feng Yan tore off the branch in his hand, and said helplessly: "I dried my underwear just now, you go and change it, take off your clothes and bake it, the hole is very warm now, you and your clothes are not afraid of freezing, go."

Murong Qi was a little disappointed and said, "Do you really not need my help?"

"I really don't need it, go quickly," Feng Yan said earnestly, "Put on your clothes, lie down and rest for a while, and I'll change your dressing when I'm done packing." As he said that, he was about to go out to fetch a few handfuls of snow.The footsteps behind him kept coming, Feng Yan turned around and sighed: "You will only make me more worried. You are injured more than me, and you have a high fever. The worse of the two of us is you."

"But... I don't want to stay here alone," Murong Qi whispered, "Whatever you want to do, I can accompany you."

Feng Yan was stunned, thinking of those ten years, countless days and nights, he was alone, lying on the couch, sitting in front of him, the hall was silent, and he was also silent, so quiet that he didn't look like a person.Feng Yan stretched out his hand, wanting to touch his head, wanting to comfort him, wanting to stand side by side with him, wanting to chat and laugh happily with him, and he wanted to give him all the joys that he once hated would never think about.But he's a living soul, and he can't even touch a single hair of his head.

"I'm going to fetch some handfuls of snow. Don't go out. It's cold outside, so it's only a few steps away." Feng Yan patiently explained, "Go and lie down first, and I'll come back and talk to you later."

Murong Qi nodded with a smile, "Then I'll go change my clothes, and you can talk to me when you're done." Then he turned and went inside, Feng Yan couldn't help laughing seeing his cheerful back.

After leaving the cave, the nearby branches were covered with dense snow. Feng Yan picked a clean one, held two handfuls in front of him, and hit two rabbits. Although he saw roe deer from a distance, the tools at hand were limited. I can only give up.After returning to the cave, Murong Qi lay motionless on the edge of the straw shop, his clothes were not changed, as if he was asleep.

"Murong Qi," Feng Yan walked over and called softly, Murong Qi still didn't move, Feng Yan was startled, threw the packed rabbit aside, and moved closer to him.Murong Qi opened his eyes slightly, his eyes were reddened by the high fever, he pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "I'm just a little sleepy, it's okay." Feng Yan reached out and touched his hot forehead, Murong Qi slowly closed his eyes, in a haze He rubbed Feng Yan's arm lightly, probably feeling comfortable, rubbed it a few more times, and said vaguely, "I'll be fine after a while. You, stay with me, don't go anywhere. I haven't had such a sweet dream for a long time. gone."

Feng Yan carried him to the grass bunk, helped him change his wet clothes, and unwrapped his bun.The two of them struggled in the muddy water for a long time, Feng Yan vaguely remembered that he had been holding Murong Qi until he was moored to the shore, and then he was exhausted and fell asleep. Someone's crying flashed in his mind, but I can't remember for a while.He carefully spread Murong Qi's strands of hair that were sticky with mud and water, combed it smoothly and spread it out on the couch.

Murong Qi's hair was thick but soft, after being let out, it reflected the firelight like smooth satin.He went outside again to get some water, warmed it in a stone bowl, wiped Murong Qi's back, and sweated to dissipate heat.

Murong Qi gradually slept peacefully, his long eyelashes like a feather fan were quietly folded on his eyelids, casting some shadows on his cheeks, his obedient appearance was far from the stern-talking emperor in the future.The coldness imprinted by the knife and ax has not yet appeared on this young face. During those silent nights, those days of waiting, he slowly reached out and gently stroked the top of Murong Qi's head. , he whispered softly: "Rui'er, I'm here..."

Murong Qi seemed to be aware of it, and slowly opened his eyes, his calm eyes were full of bitterness, he opened his lips quietly, "Huaigui, are you laughing at me again? Laughing at me has been tried and tried, but I didn't keep it." You." He slowly raised his hand, wanting to touch the person in front of him but stopped in front of him, his eyes showed infinite nostalgia, "You are still the same as before, you haven't aged at all. You must not recognize Here I am, and I have become what you hate the most. I dare not go to you, and I can't go to you, you don't want me first."

"Rui'er..." Feng Yan's mind was confused, and he looked in shock at the 14-year-old boy in front of him, his eyes full of vicissitudes belonged to the decisive emperor, "Rui'er, you... Before he could fully react, he had already lifted Murong Qi up from the bunk and hugged him tightly. Those feelings that he hadn't had time to recognize, his remorse, his guilt, those feelings that he hadn't had time to express, were all in an instant. All poured out.

Murong Qi's hoarse voice rang softly beside his ears, "Even though I know everything is my delusion, I still..." The lonely and silent emperor tightly pursed his lips, tears rolled down his long eyelashes from the corners of his eyes, "I'm pregnant." Gui, can you forgive me, forgive my selfishness. I just, I just don’t know how to love you, I just want to love you so much..." He raised his hand to cover Feng Yan's tough side face like a knife, "Forgive me , let me find you..."

"I forgive you," Feng Yan said in a low voice, the corners of his eyes were wet with tears, he hugged Murong Qi tightly, "Ruier, I have forgiven you a long time ago..."

Murong Qi slowly broke into a smile, raised his head, turned his head to touch Feng Yan's lips, kissed him reverently, and murmured with a smile, "Then I'll go find you..." and lowered his arms.

Murong Qi slept for a long time, until the sky was dark and the twilight was deep, he moved a little bit, rubbed his eyes in a daze, and asked in a daze: "When?"

Feng Yan sat beside him, picked up the hair tie next to him, and simply tied up his long, soft hair that fell loose over his shoulders, talking as he tied it. "Youshi, come over and drink some water. The rabbit meat is cooked. I tore some off and it's still hot. Eat some first."

Murong Qi sat up straight, rolled up the sleeves that covered his whole hands, took the meat wrapped in withered plantain leaves, first pinched some snow and put it in his mouth, took a bite of the meat, and asked with blinking eyes: " I don't snore, do I?"

Feng Yan smiled lightly, picked up the meat next to him and ate it, and then said: "The snow forest is extremely deep, extending to the hinterland of Yuezhou. There are many beasts on the mountain, and it is difficult to walk. Tomorrow we will find the road, and it should be soon." You can go to Yuezhou."

Murong Qi was probably really hungry, he didn't pick on the fishy smell in the meat at all, he couldn't stop mouthing, and said after a while: "Don't be so anxious, the mountain is very quiet, it's rare that there are no disturbing things."

Feng Yan was silent. After floating in the river for a long time, all the medicine bags on his body were gone. Now there is only one bag left. He finally said: "Your injury cannot be delayed, and the fever has not subsided. Besides, Beijing is urgent. You ..." Even if he didn't deliberately listen to the news, he knew that Murong Dan would definitely not let it go easily, and he and Murong Qi would never die.

Murong Qi raised his eyes to look at him, without a trace of worry, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, I can handle it well. If I am not fully sure, I will never go to war like this. Yuezhou is the territory of King Xiling, even if Sixth Brother It’s hard to do anything you want to do.”

Feng Yan nodded. Ye Chenxi, the king of Xiling, was famous for being a calf protector, and his own territory had always been managed in a tight-knit manner.It is more difficult than reaching the sky to get the slightest benefit from him.Even if Murong Dan is in a daze, he should not act recklessly in King Xiling's territory.

"It's just you?" Murong Qi's face was light and cloudless, and he held the flesh in his hand, as if he raised the question very casually, "Ye Weiting is not as reliable as you think, your father has lost all control over the northern border long ago, Now you..."

Feng Yan smiled and said, "As long as I stay in the northern border for a day, the northern border is Dayan's most stable barrier. It's just that before I transfer power, can you not interfere in the affairs of the northern border?" He looked straight at Looking at Murong Qi, there was no persecution or questioning in his eyes, only a heart-warming smile.

Murong Qi rolled his eyes and didn't answer. After a long time, he asked: "In your heart, have I always used any means to achieve my goal at all costs?"

Feng Yan suddenly raised his hand to caress his head, and solemnly said word by word: "In my heart, you have always been resolute and invincible. Go forward bravely, and you will always be invincible. You are the most terrible enemy and the most respectable opponent." You have never been defeated in this life, and you will be the greatest emperor in the history of Dayan.

When Murong Qi heard him talking, his face gradually became lonely. The words were obviously very beautiful, but he didn't mean to be happy at all. The most terrible enemy, the most respectable opponent? "If I am such a presence in your heart, are you willing to give up the northern border and come to me one day?"

Feng Yan was amazed, this was the first time Murong Qi was willing to express his heart so bluntly, he had always only been plundering, and becoming Emperor Jianxi was even better than before, but now he was asking about his own wishes.He nodded seriously, "If one day, you really need it, I will come back to you, and I will drive for you in this life."

Murong Qi looked at him without blinking, his amber eyes overflowed with light, he stretched out his little finger and ticked it: "Then, it's a deal?"

"Okay!" Feng Yan stretched out her little finger, carefully hooked Murong Qi's fair and slender fingers, and pressed a handprint heavily, "After eating, I'll give you the medicine, leave the leaves there, and I'll clean them up later. "

Murong Qi threw down the leaves, exposed his waist, tied a knot casually, and ate happily again. Feng Yan smiled and said, "It's rare that you are so flattering and not picky at all." His men carefully removed the tarpaulin, The wound was not wet in the water, but it was not healed, and Murong Qi's skin was still extremely hot.

Seeing him frowning, Murong Qi said hastily: "It's just a fever, it's nothing. I often have a fever and I'm used to it."

Feng Yan put the medicine up and sighed: "You are too inconsiderate," suddenly thinking of other things, "Your soft sword is not like Mr. Duan's skill, he is good at using the whip."

Murong Qi seemed to have thought of something extremely funny, squinted his eyes and smiled and said: "This set of sword techniques was exchanged with Shen Ruoli. For a while, Eighth Sister pestered him and insisted on letting him be the son-in-law, so he used this set of sword techniques to do it. In exchange begged me to help him get out."

Feng Yan nodded knowingly, "No wonder, but in just four years, your skills have improved so fast. Mr. Shen is worthy of being the number one master of the two lieutenants, and his reputation is well-deserved."

Murong Qi lowered his eyes, his face darkened, and he said dryly: "Obviously I am the one who learned well, and I am also the one who is good at it. How come he deserves his reputation."

Feng Yan smiled, "The great thing about Mr. Shen is that he knows people with his eyes, and taught you who is the only one in the world who is smart." The men neatly wrapped the gauze around, "Rinse your mouth after eating, it's a bit cold at night, I'll iron the fire, you sleep on your side, and I sleep on this side." He pointed to a hastily paved place on the outside of Murong Qi.He piled the plantain leaves to the corner of the wall, moved the roasted rabbit meat outside, and held the stone bowl in front of Murong Qi, "The water is warm, rinse your mouth."

Murong Qi took it, took a mouthful of water, spit it out after rinsing, lay down on the grass bed and watched Feng Yan tidy up, and fell asleep again unknowingly.When Feng Yan sat back on the bunk, he was breathing heavily and had been asleep for a long time.Feng Yan smiled helplessly, covered him with the drying clothes, and slept on his side, still unable to calm down in his heart.

There was silence in the mountain, and on the quiet mountain path at the foot of the mountain, Liu Xing moved his stiff legs and stubbornly walked forward. From sunset to dark, he kept walking forward with the man on his back, but he didn't know where he was going.

"Cough, cough, cough..." The person on the back coughed, and tried his best to suppress it, holding the wet blood scum in his hand, Liu Rong said, "Just bear with it, and you will be in Yuezhou soon."

"Well," the man replied earnestly, "It doesn't matter to me, just take a rest."

Liu Rong smiled wryly, "Why did you get hurt so badly when I met you twice, why can't we have a normal encounter?"

The voice of the person on the back paused, and he said in a low voice: "I won't do it next time, I...cough cough cough..." The man coughed into a ball, and it took a long time to calm down.

Liu Rong's body trembled, barely stopped the trembling, the person on his back was injured too badly, the huge crossbow pierced through his chest, the wound was too big, the blood didn't stop, he had seen many such injuries, in the end ten survivors There was no one, the coldness in his heart scrambled up, he hurriedly said: "You must pay attention next time, you can't..."

The person on the back paused and said in a low voice: "Someone is coming, you..."

The sound of horseshoes behind him was urgent, and before anyone arrived, the sword struck first.Liu Rong rolled over, narrowly dodging the sharp sword edge, and the person on his back pushed him off with both hands.With his hands clasped around his waist, before he could move, he vomited out a mouthful of blood.

Liu Rong drew his long sword out of its sheath and blocked the first wave of attacks on the man in black. Three people came from the other party, all of whom were elites.The man in black didn't care to wipe off the glaring red corners of his mouth, and the soft sword popped out of his sleeve. His weapon had already been dropped in the dock, and now he could only give in to the soft sword for the time being. Fortunately, when Shen Ruoli was not around, he also gave some pointers to His Royal Highness. , It's not too useless, it's just the injury on the body... His glazed eyes reflected Liu Rong, whose back was turned to him, and the corners of his mouth pursed, it was all delusion.In just a moment, he made a decision, put the red pill in his hand into his mouth, he only needs a moment, a moment is enough...

The author has something to say:

"Double Throwing Bridge" by Xiao Qu'er, "Reminiscing Like an Old Man" by Jiangnan Cheng Yaqing, you can urge more!

Liu Xing and Lian Zhu Small Theater:

That was in the third year of Lian Zhu's retirement:

Lian Zhu: "Chang Yu, have we not seen each other for a long time?"

Liu Rong: (Confused eyes) "Master Wang said that you are not in good health yet, you need to be more restrained in this matter, didn't we say that before?"

Lian Zhu: (Silence, turning over)

Liu Rong: (covering his body and hugging his back) "It's all because of your body, bear with it for now?"

Lian Zhu: (husky voice) "In the past few years with you, I have been... Are you not interested anymore?"

Liu Rong: (turning him over anxiously) "You can't think like that, I never..."

Lian Zhu: (gives up his face) "Even if you pay so much attention, I still... don't tell me that if you pay attention, I don't have to die? Or do you want me to die so that you can get rid of me. Yes, it's me... woo woo woo"

Liu Rong sighed inwardly, this guy has already started to do whatever it takes to achieve his goal.Tomorrow, I'd better go ask Mr. Wang, I'm very tired from enduring it, and it's even more tiring to be made trouble by him so unreasonably!
