obey

After being dazed for a while, Ying Qi vaguely felt that she was hugged across her knees, with her forehead pressed against the master's chest, listening to the slightly faster heartbeat of the master.

It seemed that Ying Si could be seen walking towards him through his blurred eyes.

Ying Si knelt down in front of Li Yuan, and offered a copper plate with both hands. The plate contained a stack of gold silk dragon robes, and placed it gently at Li Yuan's feet, and said indifferently: "Master, the country cannot live without a king for a day."

Li Yuan glanced down at the dragon robe under his feet, suddenly raised the corners of his lips to show a contemptuous smile, stepped on the dragon robe, and walked away with Ying Qi in his arms.

Ying Wu knelt beside Ying Si, seeing his master leaving just like that, he whispered to his brother in surprise: "Hey, the lord is gone? What about the group of ministers in the palace who are crying for their parents?"

"What the master doesn't want to do, who dares to force him." Yingdie sat leisurely on a pine branch beside him, took a sip from the small steaming teacup, lazily raised his translucent white pupils, and raised his chin Pointing to Yanjing City, the flames of war are still spreading over the city walls, and there is a mournful howl of wolves from time to time in the city, and jackdaws stand on the branches of weeping snow, gnawing on the flesh and blood hanging from the branches.

"This dead city is the price."

-

The imperial doctor said that Ying Qi was overworked and needed to support her health, so she prescribed a prescription and poured it down.That's right, for several months, Yingqi has been busy with all the contacts and newspapers, traveling between different places, and there is no time for him to rest.

Ying Qi fell asleep all night, and Li Yuan stayed by his side all night.

He was finally able to take a good look at his little shadow guard with peace of mind. This child was only 17 years old when he came to him, and now he has grown into a man, with a more serious expression on his cold eyes.

With his slender fingertips, he gently traced the bridge of Ying Qi's nose, and then touched the thin lips and long and slightly drooping eyelashes.Even when he was asleep, it made people feel that he was obedient and obedient. Although he was wearing sharp swords all over his body, he did not show the slightest aggressiveness. He curled up and approached his master instinctively and dependently.

If he had never met him, maybe Li Yuan would never know what liking is all his life.

Like is, can't put it down, can't let go, can't let go, can't let go.

The small mole on Ying Qi's eyelids trembled slightly with the eyelashes, his eyes opened and then narrowed, avoiding the dazzling candlelight.

Li Yuan blew out the two candle lamps, and the brocade tent suddenly became dark.

Ying Qi stared blankly at Li Yuan for a while, then hurriedly propped himself up and sat up, looked at the gorgeous curtains around him, rubbed his hands nervously and asked tentatively, "Your Majesty?"

Li Yuan smiled: "What? So you want to be a queen?"

Seeing that the tips of Xiaoyingwei's ears turned red, Li Yuan sat on the edge of the bed, gently supported the back of Yingqi's neck, and kissed his forehead.

Ying Qi panicked suddenly: "Is your hand okay?"

Li Yuan smiled: "Very good."

"Heal your injury, I will take you to Jiangnan, and only you. I promised you before, and I will not break my promise." Li Yuan pinched Ying Qi's red earlobe, her voice was gentle, just like before.

He seemed to see the gleam in Ying Qi's eyes, the little shadow guard crawled out of the bed, knelt and sat in front of him, rubbing his fingertips nervously and uneasily.

Then he lowered his head, mustered up great courage, and gently hugged Li Yuan.

Like a puppy who is madly obsessed with its owner, jumping around at its owner's feet for a long time without knowing how to express its love, and finally had to lick its owner's fingertips.

It is very rare to get the initiative of Xiaoyingwei to show love, so every time Yingqi hugged him anxiously or carefully kissed him, Li Yuan always felt extremely satisfied. Now, maybe I don't like to rely on myself.

"Being with me for a long time, you know how to tease me, don't you?" Li Yuan gently scratched Yingqi's chin, which actually helped him a lot.

"Does it still hurt, the place where the arrow hurt?" Li Yuan asked him.

Ying Qi iced Bing's cheek with the back of his hand, and shook his head: "It's just a minor injury, I'm worried about you."

"What a minor injury, this is not the first time you have coaxed me, I don't believe you." Li Yuan half-coaxed and half-ordered him to drink a bowl of chicken soup, and put him back under the covers to sleep.

"I still have some things to settle, and I'll be back tomorrow." Li Yuan leaned over and kissed the corner of Ying Qi's mouth, "I'll see you alive and kicking when I come back."

Ying Qi couldn't stand it anymore, pursed her lips and said cautiously: "You don't have to coax your subordinates... I will, and your subordinates will be spoiled."

Li Yuan smiled, rubbed his head, blew out the candle, took his clothes and went to the execution room.

In the torture room, four shadows and five shadows guarded an iron cage. The golden leopard paced anxiously back and forth in the iron cage, uttering a low growl of warning, hitting the railing hard from time to time, making its fur messy, scratching its skin with its sharp claws, flipping over. Pale red flesh.

Ying Wu held Ying Si's whip and pointed at the little leopard: "What are you arguing about? Let me tell you, your master has finished playing, and I will skin you later and make a blanket for our lord."

The golden leopard roared at Ying Wu, opened its bloody mouth wide, and its ferocious fangs gleamed in the cold light of the cold moon outside the window.

"It's so noisy. Let me tell you, little beast, your master is tied up next door. If you scream again, I'll beat your master again." Ying Wu moved a stool and sat by the cage, cocking his head. He stepped on the iron fence, took an orange, peeled it and ate it, broke the orange peel into small pieces and threw it at the little leopard.

"What are you fighting with it?" Ying Si frowned, sat aside and drank a cup of tea to moisten his throat.

The sound of the jailer saluting came from outside the torture room, the footsteps approached, and Li Yuan appeared at the door of the torture room.

As soon as Li Yuan came, the ferocious beast in the cage immediately became quiet, and looked at him silently with wide blue eyes.

Li Yuan took a step closer to the animal cage, and the little leopard took a step back until his buttocks were stuck on the fence and there was no way to retreat. The little leopard lay on the ground with its tail between its legs, its round ears drooping, and looked at Li Yuan in fear.

Ying Wu was surprised and whispered to Ying Si: "Wow, you are so spiritual, you are actually afraid of the prince."

"It's still a little guy." Li Yuan squatted down by the cage, reached into the fence, and patted the little leopard's head.

Ying Si immediately stood up vigilantly: "My lord, it's dangerous."

Li Yuan didn't care. He lowered his eyes to caress the trembling little leopard, wiped away the dry tears at the corners of its eyes with his fingertips, and said softly, "Come here."

The golden leopard has been crawling on the ground all the time, and its fast-moving pink nose sniffed at Li Yuan's fingertips. It can feel the strength of this person. A person who is similar to his master's breath but extremely hostile is standing in front of him. The little leopard was terrified.

"Tell me, why does Mo'er like this beast so much?" Li Yuan asked Ying Si Ying Wu slowly, they couldn't answer, and Li Yuan didn't need to answer.

He knows that what Li Mo likes is not a beast, what he likes is just a thing that can accept his care and love, a person who is not strong enough at all, if he wants to show people ruthlessness, he must quietly pour all his tenderness into things that do not belong to this place. things in the world.

This thing doesn't need to be thoughtful, or even to be able to speak, it just needs to carry Li Mo's warmth and hope, and prove for Li Mo that her heart has not completely turned into stone. Be willing to open up to things that reveal your inner weaknesses.

Li Yuan could even imagine how Li Mo would pretend to be ruthless in front of outsiders every time he lost someone close to him, and when he returned to a corner where no one was around, he would hold the little leopard and cry.This little leopard carries too much family affection that Tianhuang nobles lack, every hidden guard he has lost, and the ghosts he has gritted his teeth and closed his eyes to hell again and again, Li Yuan calls it "weakness".

Li Yuan went to another cell and told Ying Si Ying Wu to stay outside and not to follow.

The cell was filled with a pungent smell of blood. There was a man hanging on the rack, covered in blood and bruises all over his body. There was a whip mark on his collarbone that had been whipped so hard that the flesh on the edge turned up.

Li Mo raised his head when he heard footsteps.

"Little poor girl, let me see if you are crying." Li Yuan took pity on him, raised his cyan bi folding fan and raised his chin, so that he could save some energy to talk.

Li Mo tilted her head impatiently, her hands were tightly tied to the iron chain, unable to move,

"Why don't you cry? Didn't the beating hurt enough, Mo'er." Li Yuan straightened Li Mo's head with his slender fingers, poking at his eyes vigorously, until he rubbed tears out, Li Yuan was willing to let go.

"Brother...Brother..." His voice was hoarse and weak, and he hadn't drank water for quite a while.

"A long time ago, when you caused my sister-in-law to almost have a miscarriage, I told you, don't recognize me as a cousin, I can't bear it." Li Yuan took the wet cloth on the table and wiped it. After wiping his hands, he sat on the chair and raised his legs, brought the inkstone from the table, and studied ink carelessly.

"Speaking of Lingnan, some people sent news a few days ago that Lingnan soldiers were obsessed with inhaling Xuelan incense, which made their morale low. There was no one in the army to use. Get rid of the remnants of the Lingnan chaotic party, and maybe you will receive news in a month."

"Okay." Li Mo remained indifferent, the destruction of the Lingnan Palace was not too difficult for him to accept.

Li Yuan felt curious: "Why aren't you sad?"

Li Mo said hoarsely: "Father married me a stepmother and gave birth to a son. There is no room for me in that family."

"It's pitiful to sell less, who can snatch your things, Your Highness." Li Yuan took a writing brush, pinched it with his fingertips and gathered Jufeng, "Tell me about the process of framing the Zhennan Palace and the Chensha Family."

"Is there any point in asking these questions now?" Li Mo closed her eyes and smiled, "Don't keep thinking about others, you will suffer, Brother Yuan."

"Tell me about how you framed the Zhennan Prince's Mansion and the Chensha Family." Li Yuan repeated softly. He was patient enough. If he was in the mood, he could torture Li Mo in the execution room for a whole day.

"Heh." Li Mo squinted his eyes and looked at this cousin carefully. He changed, and he became a little bit unknown to him.Brother Yuan, he was also his little companion who skipped classes and played with him since he was a child, and he was also the only brother he recognized as being close by blood, and his rival in competition.

Li Mo hung his head wearily for a while, then lifted it up with difficulty, and asked Li Yuan, "You know why I didn't kill you when I had so many opportunities?"

"Because I'm not afraid of you." Li Mo gritted her teeth.

Li Yuan remained silent for a while, rubbed his finger on the white jade ring, and said slowly: "Of course you don't have to be afraid of me, but that little furry guy is very afraid of me, you still have a chance to redeem your sins, otherwise, I still need a leopard leather chair cushion .”

Li Mo suddenly seemed to be stimulated violently, and shouted at Li Yuan hoarsely: "It didn't rebel! It was just brought by me from Lingnan! I'm in your hands. Whatever you want, you have to follow a Animals can't pass?"

"It's too loud, you're giving me a headache." Li Yuan rubbed his temples, "I'm not making trouble with it, I'm negotiating terms with you. That leopard has been neither eating nor drinking, I have to peel off the skin as soon as possible , otherwise it will affect the color of the fur."

"Flaying alive, it sounds painful, don't worry, I will let you watch it die, okay." Li Yuan raised his eyelids and urged softly, "My ink is almost dry."

Li Mo was silent for a long time.He was not willing to admit defeat to Li Yuan, even if he had suffered a crushing defeat, he did not want to surrender his dignity in this way for others to trample on him.

Li Yuan waited quietly for a while, then suddenly picked up the ink brush that had dried up, walked up to Li Mo, and swiped the tip of the pen over a wound on Li Mo's collarbone, dipped in the blood of his wound, and rubbed it on his shoulder. Draw slowly, and draw a bright red peony.

Li Mo endured desperately, a thin layer of sweat oozed from his forehead.

After painting, Li Yuan admired it for a while, and said with emotion: "The peony has no thorns, I like it very much."

As soon as the words fell, the Jianhao pen in Li Yuan's hand mercilessly pierced into Li Mo's stomach.

"Ugh." Li Mo couldn't help but growl in pain, a streak of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

"I'll give it back to you." Li Yuan patted his cheek compassionately, then turned and left the torture room.

Ying Si Ying Wu waited outside, seeing Li Yuan coming out, hurriedly brought the sable fur for the master to put on.

Li Yuan casually took a dagger with a sheath from Ying Si's waist, and slowly walked out of the torture room: "Get me a carriage and go visit my cousin."

Ying Wuying looked at each other, nodded and said: "Yes."

-

Ying Qi only slept in the bedroom for a while, he rarely slept peacefully when his master was not around, he had too many worries.

He found that Ying Si had been sitting by the coffee table for quite a while.

"Commander?" Ying Qi was startled, turned over and got out of bed to salute, and confessed, "I just... didn't hold on for a while, so I..."

Ying Si looked at him indifferently, then turned around and poured a cup of tea.

"Only you, who have been the master's pillow for so long, can still abide by the etiquette." Ying was expressionless, nodded and let Ying Qi stand up.

What he said made Ying Qi a little ashamed.

"Commander, I have always been, very grateful to you." Ying Qi is not very good at expressing, and always stumbles when speaking, "You released me when the ghost guard was arrested before."

Ying Si put down his teacup: "No need, I have selfish intentions, not as profound as you said."

Yingqi thought that the commander was just being polite, as he was as heartless as the commander, how could he have selfishness.After thinking about it, I couldn't help but recall the forbearable kiss that the leader Zai Yingwu fell between the eyebrows in the attic in the suburbs of Beijing.

"Master is going to visit His Highness the Crown Prince." Ying Si just came to tell Ying Qi about this.

Ying Qi suddenly became vigilant: "Who is following the master?"

Ying Si said: "No one, the master forbids it. He went with a dagger."

"The master is going to kill the prince by himself?!??" Ying Qi immediately turned around and rummaged through the bed for his sword, wrapped the soft dragonfly sword between his fingers, put on the hundred-edged belt, put on the mask and forehead guard and ran out.

Ying Si closed the door and went back to the residence.

Ying Wu lay by the window and watched Ying Qi flash by, turned around and complained to Ying Si: "Why are you doing this, Xiao Qi is still recovering from his injuries. And the master said that no one can follow, so you are not afraid that Xiao Qi will be punished? You are really my dear brother, but you are really not a joke."

Ying Si didn't care about it: "Master's hand was also injured. Someone has to protect him."

"Ying Qi will not be punished, even if he is punished, the punishment will be different from us."

"I am the master's shadow guard, and so is he."

"Tch, you are prejudiced against others." Ying Wu pouted, "You are just jealous that the master likes him, you are jealous. Right, you are jealous, you love the master."

Ying Si felt that Ying Wu's mischief was unreasonable, so he took off his forehead guard and threw it aside, walked towards Ying Wu, grabbed his jaw and told him to shut up, threatening with indifferent eyes:

"I don't love my master, nor will I love anyone. It's my job to protect my master. It's a matter of my master's safety. I will take full responsibility for anything that happens."

Ying Wu's arrogance immediately weakened, and he muttered aggrievedly: "You are angry at me..."

"..." Ying Si rubbed his eyebrows, pinched Ying Wu's face, and walked away helplessly.

"Hey, brother." Ying Wu hurriedly called him, "You can sleep with me, it's too cold, your feet are cold... why are you going!"

Yingsi turned around and said, "I'll boil water for you to take a bath, it stinks."

Ying Wu knelt on the bed and yelled loudly: "I don't stink!"
