The Secret Chamber of the Card Game

In the afternoon, Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang went to visit His Majesty together.

Sitting on the throne, His Majesty is already 55 years old, but he seems to be in good spirits. He is dressed in luxurious royal costumes inlaid with gold patterns, which makes him look extremely majestic. When he looks at Xiao Lou, his eyes reveal a kind of fatherly look. mild.

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang bowed and saluted at the same time: "Your Majesty."

Xiao Qin nodded, motioned for them to be excused, and then asked: "Is the birthday party ready in three days? This is your first public appearance. As the prince of the empire, you can't be nervous and provoke people joke."

Xiao Lou looked calm: "Father, don't worry, I won't be stage fright."

Xiao Qin casually asked a few more questions about Xiao Lou's recent situation, including how his health was and whether he had completed his studies on time, etc. Xiao Lou answered the questions fluently. Talk to General Yu alone."

Xiao Lou was startled, glanced at Yu Hanjiang, then saluted the person on the throne, turned and left.

The father left Yu Hanjiang alone to talk?Could it be that the news that Yu Hanjiang kept breaking into the prince's bedroom had reached his ears?Or did he have an important task for Yu Hanjiang?Xiao Lou was apprehensive, so he simply waited outside the palace.

At this time, inside the palace.

The resplendent imperial palace was suddenly so quiet that Yu Hanjiang didn't know what His Majesty would do to leave him alone, and he didn't know what to do, but he still maintained his composure on the surface, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, do you have any orders? "

The man on the throne put away his smile, with a very serious expression on his face: "General Yu, your grandfather used to be my father's guard, and he died protecting my father in a battle many years ago. I remember, you After graduating from the military academy seven years ago, you came to the Royal Guard, and you have been protecting the prince every step of the way for the past seven years?"

Yu Hanjiang: "Yes."

Your Majesty: "If one day, Your Highness is in danger, will you protect Xiao Lou at all costs just like your grandfather protected my father?"

Yu Hanjiang nodded decisively: "Of course, it is my duty to protect His Highness."

The man on the throne suddenly lowered his voice: "I mean, at all costs—including your own life."

This question is a bit abrupt.

However, it is normal for a superior to ask his guard, "Are you willing to sacrifice yourself to protect me?" After all, a guard must be prepared to sacrifice for his master.Yu Hanjiang did not hesitate, and continued: "Yes, I am willing to do my best to protect Xiao Lou."

His Majesty finally laughed. He stepped down from the throne, handed a ring to Yu Hanjiang, and said, "This is the most advanced S-class smart mecha in the empire—the spirit fragment of Linghu. In fact, the mecha that Xiao Lou is using now A, I haven't turned on all the functions yet, use this to activate the real fighting spirit fox, and use it to protect Xiao Lou's safety when necessary."

Yu Hanjiang took the ring and put it on his thumb.

His Majesty beckoned suddenly: "Come in."

After a while, a young man walked in from the side hall with a smile.He was wearing a white royal dress, with a slender figure and a dusty temperament. His gentle appearance was like a noble prince who came out of a cartoon.

——It’s Xiao Lou.

Yu Hanjiang's head was full of question marks, Xiao Lou just left from the main entrance behind him, why did he suddenly walk over from the side hall?And, the smile on his face...

For some reason, Yu Hanjiang always felt a little strange.

Especially when meeting Xiao Lou's eyes, this strange feeling seems to be magnified countless times - these eyes don't have Xiao Lou's expression at all.

Xiao Lou's gaze was as clear as water, but the person in front of him always felt that there was a bit of aura missing from his eyes.

Every time Xiao Lou looked at him, his eyes were full of trust.Sometimes, after being stared at by Yu Hanjiang for a long time, Xiao Lou's ears would turn red from embarrassment, and he would avoid his gaze.However, the person in front of him had been looking condescendingly into Yu Hanjiang's eyes, and when he walked over, he seemed to be looking at his subordinates instead.

He smiled and walked in front of Yu Hanjiang, and said, "General Yu."

The voice is exactly the same...

Yu Hanjiang frowned, and whispered into his ear, "Does your Highness still remember Xiao Liu?"

Xiao Lou was startled: "What?"

Yu Hanjiang shot as fast as lightning!

Before Xiao Lou could react, Yu Hanjiang suddenly grabbed his wrist, grabbed his wrist neatly, twisted it in the opposite direction, crossed his arms behind his back, and quickly placed the other arm across his neck Hold on, as long as he moves around, Yu Hanjiang's hand can definitely break his neck in an instant.

Xiao Lou narrowed his eyes slightly: "What is General Yu doing? Want to learn martial arts with me?"

Yu Hanjiang's gaze was as sharp as a sword. He stared at the person in front of him and said coldly, "You, no, yes, Xiao, Lou."

Xiao Lou laughed softly: "Father, what's the matter with this general, he doesn't even know me?"

Yu Hanjiang yanked his fingers so hard that Xiao Lou's wrist was almost broken.

He frowned slightly in pain, and whispered: "Let me go."

Yu Hanjiang did not let him go, but looked up at the man on the throne: "Your Majesty, what does this mean?"

The man on the throne seemed to be watching a play, and when Yu Hanjiang asked, he smiled slightly and said, "Besides me, you are the only one. You can tell that he is not Xiao Lou just by looking at him... What do you think?" from?"

Yu Hanjiang didn't want to explain this question.

He and Xiao Lou have known each other for so long, how many times have they experienced life-and-death dilemmas together?Along the way, the tacit understanding formed between the two, as well as the heart-to-heart affection, cannot be replaced by a random person who puts on Xiao Lou's face.

The expression is wrong, the movements are wrong, the tone of speech is wrong, and the eyes are even worse.

——How could he not be able to tell the truth from the one he loved? !

Seeing Yu Hanjiang not answering with a cold face, His Majesty sighed lightly and said, "Let go of him first."

Yu Hanjiang was silent for 3 seconds, and let go of the "Xiao Lou" in front of him.

Even though they wear the same clothes, and their body and appearance are similar to twins, there is no difference at all...

But this Xiao Lou made Yu Hanjiang feel particularly annoying.

His temperament was much worse than the real Xiao Lou's.

His Xiao Lou is unique in the whole world, other people are not qualified to use Xiao Lou's face to talk to him.

His Majesty explained: "I only have one son, Xiao Lou. When he was young, he almost died of illness. It was not an accident, but someone sneaked into the palace and wanted his life. The throne of the empire has always been hereditary, but once the heir to the throne dies Now, the next Majesty can be selected through parliamentary elections, understand what I mean?"

Yu Hanjiang felt cold in his heart: "So, you made another Xiaolou?"

His Majesty said: "Yes, the Xiao Lou you see looks exactly like Xiao Lou, because he is a product copied from Xiao Lou's genes."

Yu Hanjiang: "..."

His Majesty beckoned, and "Xiao Lou" walked obediently to his side. His Majesty patted "Xiao Lou"'s head affectionately, and said, "He is very obedient. He will do whatever I ask him to do... ...including sacrificing for Xiao Lou."

Yu Hanjiang clenched his fists tightly, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged.

He couldn't stand the replicant who looked exactly like Xiao Lou, with such a puppet-like expression of "at the mercy of others" on his face, the pores of his whole body trembled slightly with anger, and he wished he could rush over quickly and use his mask to block the The same face as Xiao Lou.

His Majesty continued: "You don't need to worry about other things. Since you can tell who is the real Xiao Lou, you just need to remember my words and protect my heir to the throne."

Yu Hanjiang's face was gloomy: "Who was the person who sneaked into the palace and wanted to assassinate Xiao Lou? Do you have any clues?"

His Majesty shook his head: "There are too many people who covet this person. To this day, even I have few people who are truly trustworthy." He walked up to Yu Hanjiang, stretched out his hand and gently pressed Yu Hanjiang's shoulder: "Your grandfather, once Sacrifice to protect His Majesty, your Yu family has been loyal for generations, that's why I dare to entrust Xiao Lou's safety to you. In the past seven years, you have been with him every step of the way, and you have cultivated a tacit understanding that is different from ordinary people. I am very pleased, You can recognize him at a glance. I hope you can keep your promise, and my son will be handed over to you."

Yu Hanjiang was silent for a long time before whispering: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely protect him."

His Majesty nodded: "Go. The birthday party in three days' time will be attended by a clone instead of Xiao Lou. The real Xiao Lou will be protected by you."

Yu Hanjiang glanced at the expressionless puppet "Xiao Lou". He ignored the awkwardness in his heart, bowed to His Majesty, and turned to leave the palace.

The moment he walked out, Xiao Lou was waiting for him at the gate of the palace.

After seeing him, Xiao Lou quickly walked over and whispered in his ear, "Father left you alone, what did you say?"

——This is the real Xiao Lou.

His eyes are black and clear, and he is very gentle when he smiles, and he is always so focused on looking at himself.Yu Hanjiang resisted the urge to hug him into his arms, and said in a low voice, "The walls have ears here, let's talk about it when we go back."

Xiao Lou noticed Yu Hanjiang's serious expression, so he had to quicken his pace and went back to the twin wombs with him.

After entering the bedroom, Yu Hanjiang locked the door smoothly.

Seeing the man's gloomy face, Xiao Lou said nervously, "What's the matter?"

Yu Hanjiang suddenly pressed Xiao Lou against the wall and kissed him forcefully.

The kiss seemed a little eager this time, Yu Hanjiang pulled off his tie, propped up the wall with his left hand, trapping Xiao Lou between himself and the wall, and tightly hugged Xiao Lou's waist with his right hand, so that the two bodies were completely indifferent. glued together.

Strictly speaking, this is the third time that Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang have kissed.

The previous two times he was very gentle.But this time it seemed a little crazy, Xiao Lou's lips were slightly aching from his kiss, and as soon as he opened his mouth, the man rushed in eagerly...

The fiery kiss made Xiao Lou clearly feel Yu Hanjiang's uneasiness and anxiety.

He has lost control for the second time today.

Is it related to what the father said?Xiao Lou noticed that Yu Hanjiang's mood was not stable, so he stretched out his hand, gently put his arms around his neck, and gently stroked the man's back, as if smoothing his hair.

Being hugged and stroked by Xiao Lou, Yu Hanjiang finally calmed down completely.

He let go of Xiao Lou, put his forehead against Xiao Lou's forehead, and said hoarsely, "Sorry, I'm just... worried about you."

Xiao Lou thoughtfully held his hand, interlocked his fingers, and asked softly, "What's the matter?"

Yu Hanjiang was silent for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "I just saw a person exactly like you at His Majesty's place. Your father said that it was a substitute copied from your genes."

"..." Xiao Lou's eyes widened instantly: "What? Duplicant?"

Yu Hanjiang stretched out his hand and gently hugged Xiao Lou into his arms. His voice was a bit dull, as if it came from his chest: "I don't know how to evaluate him."

"That person has the same face as you, and he also smiles and talks like you. I saw that he was not you at first sight. Although he looked exactly the same, when he approached me, I only felt uncomfortable. , I feel particularly repelled..."

"But generally speaking, he imitated you very much. I can't imagine that if one day he replaces you, does bad things, and even hurts other teammates. Will people who can't tell the truth from the fake be caught by him? Playing between the palms of your hands?"

"..." Xiao Lou felt a chill down his spine.

There is actually someone exactly like him? !Or was it copied from his genes? !No difference can be found in genetic testing, which is equivalent to the existence of twins? !

As Yu Hanjiang said, if this person was bluffing and deceiving with his face, Ye Qi and the others would definitely be defenseless when they saw "Xiao Lou", which was terrible.

Just imagine, if there was a person who looked exactly like Yu Hanjiang, Xiao Lou would be fine if he could recognize him, but if he couldn't... he wouldn't even know how he died if he was killed.

Xiao Lou stretched out his hand and hugged Yu Hanjiang back forcefully: "Gene duplication, this is simply disregarding human relations." His voice trembled slightly with anger, "Hanjiang, I can be sure that you are real, what about you?"

Yu Hanjiang tightened his arms: "Of course. What is our relationship? If you can't even tell the truth from the fake, what right do I have to say that I like you and be your boyfriend?"

Xiao Lou's heart warmed slightly.

No matter what, Yu Hanjiang will not be fooled by the fake Xiao Lou.

Even if the palace bans the card, if you can't play it, you will have a good understanding...

But there is a tacit understanding between them, so why do they need external force?

That is a mutual understanding and promise from the heart, and it cannot be replaced by ordinary people just putting the same face on them.

Xiao Lou calmed down quickly, and whispered in Yu Hanjiang's ear: "We must tell other teammates about this news as soon as possible. Not only me, but other people may also have duplicates. When we meet in the future, we must check our past experiences. It's not right. , must not be easily trusted!"

Yu Hanjiang nodded: "Okay, I'll make arrangements now."

The author has something to say:

Yu Hanjiang is a criminal police officer with strong observation skills, how could the fake Xiao Lou be able to fool him!

In his eyes and heart, Xiao Lou is unique :)
