I was a prince in ancient times

"I don't blame you."

Xie Anlan kissed his forehead and comforted him with actions.

People in this world, for the sake of property, sisters become enemies, and brothers turn against each other. This kind of example is not uncommon even in some ordinary families.

What's more, for the Duke's Mansion, which has been prosperous for more than 200 years, it is hard not to envy the accumulated wealth.

In the past, the Duke's mansion was strong, and the offshoots of the Lu family didn't dare to make mistakes, and they didn't dare to move their minds.

Now that the Duke's Mansion has fallen, only Lu Chengjiao is left in the direct line, and everyone has the opportunity to inherit.

Compared with money, the little affection in the past is nothing.

They are not benevolent first, and they cannot take advantage of injustice.

Besides, how old was Lu Chengjia at that time?

How can a child at the age of □ and □ be able to keep his family property if he doesn't use a little bit of ruthlessness.

Lu Chengjiao was noncommittally comforted by Xie Anlan, his fingers lightly stroked the slightly hot forehead that Xie Anlan had kissed, and a comfortable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The corners of his eyes were slightly raised, and he raised his jaw to meet Xie Anlan's gaze.

He paused every word, "Those properties, if His Highness wants them, Cheng Jie is willing to entrust himself and them to His Highness."

Xie Anlan's phoenix eyes trembled slightly, as if the tip of her heart was brushed by a feather, it was numb and trembling.

Just this sentence is better than all the vows and sweet words.

but.

He got it wrong.

It seems that this should be said by him.

The corners of Xie Anlan's lips pursed, and he held his hand in a rebellious manner, interlocking his fingers, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "I should be the one who handed me over to you together with the Prince Chen's Mansion."

When the same words are said by oneself and the other party, the feeling is completely different.

When Lu Chengjie said it himself, he didn't feel anything, but now he heard what Xie Anlan said.

I just felt that the whole chest was filled with warmth.

It was obviously just a very ordinary sentence, but it made him palpitate inexplicably.

Averting his eyes slightly to conceal, he continued, "I have dealt with the affairs of the Lu family, thinking that grandpa, father and the others are still dead on the battlefield, and there is no one in the Lu family, so I am the only one who can bring them back."

Said that Lu Chengjiao frowned in pain, "Uncle happened to be going to the battlefield to retrieve mother's body, so I secretly followed them and went to Jianjia City together."

"The battlefield has already become desolate. The corpses of our Yongchao soldiers are piled up in a huge death pit. My mother was found from the dead pile by my uncle."

To this day, Lu Chengjie still deeply remembers the time when Fu Zheng hugged his mother in the pile of bloody, limb-strewn dead people, and gave him a red-eyed look.

"Aren't you afraid?"

Although Lu Chengjie didn't describe what kind of scene the pile of dead people was like, Xie Anlan thought that such a scene would not have too little impact on a child who was only six years old.

"It's okay." Lu Chengjia said calmly.

Those dead people are nothing compared to the bad news that the whole family died in battle.

In addition, from the imperial capital all the way to Jianjia City, he also saw many refugees who died on the roadside. Those who should be afraid, those who should be afraid, have already been afraid of fear on the road.

But when he saw Xie Anlan's gloomy expression, as if he was worried about him, he explained with a smile, "Fortunately, it was still a snowy winter, and the corpses were all frozen, except for some broken limbs and broken arms. So terrible."

He plunged into the snowdrift by himself, looking for the corpses of his family members one by one. He didn't know how long it took, and he didn't know how many tens of thousands of corpses he searched. Is it because there are no dead bones left, or was it completely crushed by the iron hooves of the grassland department, and it was forever reduced to one with the battlefield.

It is obviously unrealistic for a child of him to bring so many corpses home. Fortunately, the Lu family has been generals for generations, and they do not follow the red tape like literati.

He found a hillside that looked like a geomantic gem, buried his family members one by one, and carved a monument with wooden boards. If no corpse was found, he also set up a tomb.

Hunting the wind and snow, wantonly sharpened his face, he stood in a vast expanse of white snow, learning the etiquette used when worshiping ancestors, kowtow three times and nine times, mourning for the whole family.

After doing this, I don't know how many days passed, but when he finally woke up, he was already among the slaves in the Grassland Department.

He was also branded with the mark of a slave.

As Lu Chengjie said, he closed his eyes, covering the pain in his eyes, and brushed his fingers over the scars little by little, as if he was thinking about something.

The Adam's apple under the jaw twitched slightly.

It was as if all the pain had been swallowed abruptly back into his stomach.

"Being born as a Yongchao, or a Yongchao whose whole family died fighting against the Grasslands, but with the mark of a slave of the Grasslands on his body, this is a more painful shame than killing me."

Lu Chengjie sighed in pain, and forcefully drowned the pain in his throat.

"But it's ok, they didn't brand me on my face or the side of my neck like everyone else did, but on my belly so I had a chance to get it off."

"Hehehehe..."

When Lu Chengjie said this, a bitter sarcasm appeared on his face with his eyes closed tightly, and a sarcasm of laughter overflowed from his throat.

That slight madness was something Xie Anlan had never seen in him.

Xie Anlan didn't know what kind of pain would torture a gentle person like this, just thinking about it would be so painful.

"Don't talk, don't talk."

Xie Anlan hugged him distressedly, and she no longer wanted to hear about his self-revealing scars.

Patting his back lightly, with red eyes, he choked up and said, "Don't talk, let him pass the past."

The person in his arms was pale, closed his eyes, frowned in pain, calmed down for a long time, and then said leisurely, "I always thought I was lucky, because as long as I remove the brand on the abdomen, For the rest of my life, no one knew that I had such a humiliating side."

"Well……"

Seeing that he wanted to continue talking, Xie Anlan immediately blocked his lips, and softly comforted him, "Stop talking, okay?"

Before the words finished, Xie Anlan felt pain on the top of her lips.

It was Lu Chengjie who bit him hard.

There was a trace of blood on the lips, and it was scattered between the lips and teeth of the two of them.

As soon as the smell of blood spread, both of them tasted the sourness in the other's mouth.

Xie Anlan let go of him, rubbed his head without blame, and comforted him silently.

"I just don't want to hide from you anymore."

Lu Chengjie opened his eyes, looked up at Xie Anlan's lips that were dripping with blood, stuck out his tongue, and licked the bitten lips again and again.

Don't stop until there is no more blood spilling out there.

"Your Highness, do you know that they only branded me on my abdomen and not on other conspicuous places?" Lu Chengjiao's eyes dimmed.

Xie Anlan's eyes fell on Lu Chengjia's fair skin, sizing up his handsome silhouette and his exquisite facial features, his eyes were obscure.

Lu Chengjie smiled.

As expected of His Highness, he understood everything as soon as he said it.

"They used me as a male military prostitute and arranged for me to go to the female barracks to serve those female soldiers."

The Grassland Department does not have a large population like Dayong, so they fight regardless of gender, and there are men and women in the barracks.

If there are female prostitutes, there must be male prostitutes.

Lu Chengjie lowered his head. He was fair and clean, so it was understandable that he was reduced to this fate.

"I'm young in my arms, even...even... then I'll have to wait until I'm two or three years older." Lu Chengjie unconsciously bit his lower lip until the skin was broken, and then he used the back of his hand heavily Wiping the ground, "I originally thought that two or three years would be enough for me to escape from the barracks."

"Who knows, the night I first arrived at the barracks..." Lu Chengjia clenched his fists tightly, veins bulging on the back of his thin hands, obviously extremely angry.

Xie Anlan's heart also picked up, and the hand holding Lu Chengjiao tightened even tighter.

Those eyes that were always shining with brilliance had already lost their radiance at this moment, and there were some water stains at the end of the eyes.

Trying to suppress the soreness in the nasal cavity.

"Hey, it's okay, it's all over, don't talk about it."

Xie Anlan didn't want to listen to it any longer. No matter what, it was a long, long time ago.

Lu Chengke couldn't hear Xie Anlan's trembling tone at the end. He turned his head and saw the water stains at the end of the eyes of the person behind him.

I froze for a moment.

Except for the years when he was with his family when he was a child, this was the first time he saw someone other than the first year of junior high school crying for him.

"Your Highness, don't cry, I'm fine." Lu Chengjie imitated Xie Anlan wiping his tears, and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"I... just been misogynistic ever since."

Lu Chengjie sniffed, and turned his head awkwardly, "They rushed into my tent, smelling like lamb, took off my outer clothes, pressed me, and licked my mouth with the smelly blood. Basin, licking my face."

Speaking of Lu Chengji at this moment, his chest has a faint tendency to vomit, and those scenes seem to be vivid in his mind.

"If I hadn't accidentally knocked over the carbon basin and set fire to the tent while I was running away, I'm afraid... I'm afraid..."

Lu Chengjiao's hands trembled slightly and covered his face.

This scar was the one he feared most in his heart, the one he dared not look directly at himself.

As long as he remembered that he was insulted by the barbarians of the grassland department just a little bit, he wished that he should die in front of those family members' graves.

but……

But he was not reconciled.

The family members passed away, and he was responsible for collecting the corpses.

What about him?

Did he just die without a name?

Die in front of a pile of graves and turn into a dry bone whose name no one knows?

"After I overturned the charcoal fire and burned the tent, I simply didn't do anything else. While they were fighting the fire, I brought a torch and burned their granary."

Lu Chengjiao looked at the burning candles on the ground, and a sternness flashed in his eyes.

"The military camp I'm in is just a small military camp in the grassland department responsible for escorting food and grass. There are not many people, but there is a lot of food and grass. If they burn their food, it will be worthwhile as long as one person in the grassland department can starve to death." Lu Chengjie coughed .

"It's a pity that there is too much food and grass. I only set two or three fires before I was caught. They imprisoned me in the burning food and grass, trying to burn me, the culprit, to death. "

Xie Anlan patted him on the back with distress, and offered to pour him a glass of water.

"I was indeed about to die at the time, but I didn't know where I got the courage before I died. I felt that I couldn't have the brand of the grassland people on my body, so I took the red-hot wooden stick and burned it off here again and again. Mark of."

Lu Chengjiao's palm slid down to his abdomen, and his brows were furrowed. Up to now, he can still feel the scorching pain on his skin burned by the red charcoal on the wooden stick.

That kind of pain and inexplicably refreshing feeling made him feel a little excited when he recalled it now.

Just think of the shock, fear, and terror in the eyes of the group of prairie people who burned him and saw him burn himself.

He felt happy in his heart.

The pain at that time was all replaced by excitement, I only remember the pleasure, so I don’t remember the pain.

"Later, I don't know whether they were frightened by me or received an emergency order. That night they left with the remaining food that had not been burned, leaving me alone in the raging fire." Lu Cheng Jie licked the corner of his lips, and rolled the pain of the past into his mouth.

"In the end, maybe God couldn't bear to see me die. Not long after they left, it suddenly snowed, and the snow was as heavy as goose feathers, accompanied by rain. The fire was quickly extinguished, and I passed out from the cold. "

All the coats on his body had been ripped off, and only his inner coat was left. It was okay in the fire, and he would not feel cold, but he could imagine the feeling after being soaked in the snow and rain.

Xie Anlan lowered his eyes, he finally understood why Lu Chengke was a good person, his hands and feet were cold all the year round, he practiced sword every day, and he was in good health, but when winter came, he was more afraid of the cold than a person who didn't exercise much .

The original root is here.

Seeing that Xie Anlan remained silent, Lu Chengjie continued, "After I passed out, a man from a small nomadic tribe who relied on trade with the Yong Dynasty rescued me. Since I removed the mark on my body, They didn't realize I was a slave, and thought my wounds were from fire."

"I lied to them that I came to the grassland to do business with my parents. I met wolves and got separated. I ran into the military camp that was escorting food and grass. As a result, the military camp caught fire in the middle of the night and I didn't escape. They believed it." Lu Chengjie bowed his head and took a sip. Xie Anlan poured the tea upside down, her mood has calmed down.

"They mistook me for the son of a big businessman from the Yong Dynasty. They planned to send me back to the Yong Dynasty after eating and drinking." Lu Chengjie licked his wet lips. He didn't notice the tingling pain, "The purpose is numb, naturally I want to rely on my line to do commercial business."

"So that's how you started smuggling?"

After Xie Anlan finished listening, she felt melancholy and tightness in her chest, but seeing that Lu Chengjiao had calmed down now, she didn't want to say those comforting words to tease his nerves.

"Yeah." Lu Chengjiao nodded, and finally raised his head and explained to him seriously, "But I didn't smuggle those under the jurisdiction of the court with them, so I sold some cloth and pottery, and traded some cattle, sheep and horses with them. There are skins."

Seeing that Xie Anlan just stared at him without speaking, Lu Chengjie felt a little uneasy.

After all, the Yong dynasty belonged to the Xie clan. Although Xie Anlan was not the emperor, the people of the Yong dynasty also bore his surname.

It doesn't look good for him to steal things from his house so blatantly and sell them.

He smiled embarrassingly at the moment, "If His Highness doesn't like it, I will stop doing it in the future. Just last year, the Lu clan was fined and confiscated by the Great Khan of the Grassland Ministry for helping us buy leather. Now they want to rely on us to make a comeback. I haven't agreed yet."

Xie Anlan looked at him, seeing that he was still talking endlessly, her ears were not listening to what he was saying at all.

I just want to hold this person in my arms and love him.

But when his eyes touched the dense hickey marks on Lu Chengjie's body, even the remaining intact lips were bitten off by himself.

He tried hard to get rid of those beautiful scenery in his mind, tried his best to listen to Lu Chengjiao's words, and diverted his attention.

"If you don't agree, the nomads of the Lu family will definitely become angry. After all, they have offended Da Khan for you." Xie Anlan quickly analyzed, "If you still want to do business on the grassland in the future, you will definitely be punished. Seeing the strong backlash from their clan, after all, they have been on the grassland for more than ten years, even if they are fined and confiscated, the background accumulated in the past is still there, and you, an outsider, can only stand and be beaten."

Speaking of which, Xie Anlan raised her eyes, "So when I signed the leather contract with you, you asked me for the right to buy gunpowder just to prevent today?"

After being pointed out by Xie Anlan, Lu Chengjiao nodded directly, "If there is gunpowder, if my men have friction with people on the grassland, it can also reduce some casualties. Many people have died in dealing with the grassland these years. I don't want to see any more casualties."

"But in this way, you will have no way to gain a foothold on the grassland. The matter of gunpowder is not a trivial matter. Once you use it, you will definitely attract the eyes of the grassland sweat, and it will be even more difficult for you to move forward." Xie Anlan glanced Wrong, I don't agree with Lu Chengjiao's approach.

Lu Chengjie raised his chin, "So I can only choose to stop."

"No need." Xie Anlan hastily pulled him back, and bent his lips, "Let the nomadic family of the Lu family make a comeback, and I will also make their scale several times larger than before, and finally be able to trade with the entire grassland. "

"Business the entire grassland?"

Lu Chengjie was frightened by Xie Anlan's majesty. You must know that the grassland is extremely vast. Their territory is much larger than that of the Yong Dynasty, so there are also various tribes scattered on the grassland.

The grassland tribe is just a slightly larger tribe on the grassland at present.

It is not easy to do business with the entire grassland.

"Don't worry, you can designate a five-year and ten-year plan first, just like the last time you let the Lu family's nomads buy leather and cheated the grassland department. These merchants may not be useful on weekdays, but when it comes to critical moments, they can still be arranged. Useful."

Hearing Xie Anlan's arrangement, Lu Chengjie understood and nodded in agreement.

He was tired tonight and said a lot of words, the knot in his heart was untied, and when he relaxed, he leaned on Xie Anlan's shoulder and yawned wearily.

"Go to sleep."

Xie Anlan squinted at the window that was gradually brightening, and could faintly hear the sound of servants getting up early to clean up. She helped Lu Chengjiao's back to fall down, and took advantage of the opportunity to lower the big red curtain hanging on the bed to cover it up. The faint light outside.

"En." Lu Chengjie rubbed against Xie Anlan's arms, found a comfortable position for himself, closed his eyes and fell asleep not long after.

Xie Anlan hugged him all the time, smoothed his messy hair, to prevent him from pressing himself on him when he was sleeping, and gently placed him on the pillow after he fell asleep.

Putting a kiss on his forehead, she put on some clothes and walked out.

After ordering a few servants not to disturb him today, he went to the study by himself.

When Lu Chengjie woke up, it was already noon.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, he walked out of the room in a good mood.

"Master, you are awake. If you don't wake up, I will go to the imperial doctor."

The first time Lu Chu saw Lu Chengjiao, the big stone in his heart was finally let go.

Over the past few days, Lu Chengke has been getting thinner and thinner, and he can't eat anything. In addition, he doesn't get up late on weekdays, so Lu Chuyi has been with him for more than ten years, which is one of the few days he sleeps until noon. .

This worry can not help but think a little too much.

Thinking of what happened last night, Lu Chengjie pursed the corners of his lips, his ears turned red, and explained slowly, "Last night, I had a big business discussion with His Highness, and the chat was a little late, so I got up late. I will not do it again."

"Big business?" Lu Chuyi asked suspiciously, "What big business?"

Lu Chengjia's ears turned red, so he had no choice but to use what Xie Anlan said last night as an excuse, "Your Highness intends to support the comeback of the nomadic Lu clan."

Lu Chuyi frowned, "What kind of big business is this?"

After following Xie Anlan for a long time, Lu Chuyi's vision has gradually opened up, and the business of less than 50 taels is not very attractive.

And the Lu family and the young master have been doing business with each other for ten years, and they only helped the young master earn two to three hundred thousand taels.

No matter how hard it is to make a comeback, it's just like this. It's not enough to talk about it until dawn.

Lu Chengjie put his hand to his lips and coughed covertly, "On the first day of the junior high school, the prince has his own purpose in doing things. You can see when the prince has lost money, just believe in the prince."

When Lu Chengjie spoke, his voice was still a little hoarse, and Lu Chuyi didn't pay attention to it at first, thinking it was caused by the young master sleeping late.

As a result, Lu Chengjie coughed in a cover-up manner, and the bitten skin on his lips was completely exposed to Lu Chuyi's eyes.

Lu Chuyi blinked. When he reported to the prince in the study in the morning, it seemed that the prince also had a broken skin on his lips.

Therefore, Lu Chuyi smiled, with a friendly smile on Yuanyuan's face, cleared his throat, and boldly asked his young master, "What kind of business is it? It can tell the two people's mouths, and the young master can't help it!" Also tell the first day of junior high school, so I can help the young master with things when I go back to the first day of junior high school."

Lu Chengjie, "..."

"Do you want to fight?" Lu Chengjia raised his hand, but there was no tendency to fight.

As soon as he moved, the hair that fell on his shoulders and covered his neck also moved, exposing a few light and shallow hickey marks and tooth marks on that side of his neck.

As soon as Lu Chu glanced at it, he suddenly realized, and smiled at the corner of his mouth, "It turns out that the big business that the young master said is this big business."

At the end, he said meaningfully, "This business is really big, enough for the young master and the prince to talk all night."

Lu Chengjie rewarded Lu Chuyi with a chestnut, ignored him, stepped forward with his long legs, and was about to go to the main hall.

Lu Chuyi who was behind saw his young master walking like a normal person, frowned, and asked a question, "Master, did you not consummate the house last night?"

Lu Chengjiao blushed and shook his head negatively.

"Then the young master used the balm I gave you?" Lu Chuyi frowned again.

Lu Chengjiao shook his head again. Under the circumstances of last night, he completely forgot about the balm, so he couldn't remember it.

"Is there no discomfort in the body at all?"

Lu Chuyi looked Lu Chengqi up and down, and finally couldn't help asking his doubts.

Could it be that their young master didn't follow the normal order of marriage when he got married, and he didn't know how to consummate the house, so he was fooled by the prince?

That man walked out like a normal person the next day after being married.

And still without the use of balm.

"No."

Lu Chengjiao was worried by Lu Chuyi, and he remembered that none of the things that Lu Chuyi had taught him had happened.

Not only did he not feel uncomfortable, on the contrary he felt a little happy. At first Xie Anlan was guiding him, but in the end it was him who was completely pestering Xie Anlan.

And after waking up, my body was as usual, and there was no soreness, pain, etc.

"Maybe I'm gifted?"

Lu Chengjie couldn't figure it out, so he simply attributed it to his own body.

Lu Chuyi, "..."
