For whom do you linger [The Loyal Dog Guard Shou]

I don't know if it's because the law and order in Lingzhou is too good, or they deliberately locked He Lianqing alone. In short, the whole dungeon is very quiet, and there is no trace of other prisoners.

The jailer was also silent, looking sluggish from having not slept well, locked the cell door and left with the key in his pocket.

There were only two guards who didn't understand martial arts inside the prison, but outside the prison they didn't know what it was like. He Lianqing recalled Luo Zheng's worried eyes when they parted, couldn't help but curled up the corners of his lips, and shook his head lightly.

I really can't think of a moment to get down to business.

How to go on like this.

The sky was getting dark, the candles in the cell were not lit, and the small ventilation window could not let much light through.

Helian was sitting cross-legged on the ground, closing his eyes and recuperating, when he suddenly heard a faint sound of footsteps, approaching with a strong inner breath.

He opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was a carved red sandalwood food box.

The person carrying the food box was wearing the prisoner's clothes, showing half of his calf...

"Luo Zheng, you..." He Lianqing raised his eyes and looked at the person who shouldn't be in front of him at this moment, not knowing whether to laugh or to blame.

He stared at Luo Zheng dumbfounded, unable to speak for a while.

I don't know where Luo Zheng changed into the jailer's clothes.

Obviously, compared with the original owner of the clothes, his figure is too tall and straight - the jacket can hardly cover the waist and abdomen, and the trousers are only an inch below the knees. I really don't know how he got in.

Are all the servants in the government blind?

Until Luo Zheng opened the cell door and walked in, He Lianqing still looked at him with a hard-pressed smile, until Luo Zheng became embarrassed.

He straightened his clothes uncomfortably, not wanting to be stared at again, so he called out, "Master."

"Huh?" He Lianqing still couldn't hold back the laughter in his words.

Luo Zheng could only explain with a frown: "I haven't found a suitable one."

"Yeah." Helian nodded.

"..." Luo Zheng sighed, and decided to ignore the man's playful expression.

He Lianqing didn't think it was disobedient, smiled very gently, and asked him softly: "Since you have hidden the footsteps, why didn't you take your breath away?"

Luo Zheng blinked, and said as a matter of course: "The owners of the left and right villas will also find out, so they don't bother."

This was a bit rascally, and there was a hint of intimacy, Helian was happy to hear it, and then smiled again.

"To deliver food?" He Lianqing looked at the exquisite food box and asked, "From Henglai Inn?"

"Well, my subordinates brought dinner." Luo Zheng knelt down and opened the food box, "Eat some while it's hot."

Helian said: "The government office will provide prison meals on time."

Luo Zheng was stunned for a moment, his brows furrowed, he chose to come back after dark in order to avoid people's eyes and ears, but it delayed the person's dinner.

More importantly, eating something given by outsiders...in case...

"The owner has used it?" Luo Zheng blamed himself, "It's because the subordinates didn't think carefully, and the subordinates are incompetent."

Seeing his expression, he could tell that he was thinking about the incident of being infected by a gu again, Helian shook his head and said: "If you see it, you will know why I am so hungry."

Luo Zheng's heart twitched, his hands paused, and he hurriedly took out the meals in the food box, and placed them one by one beside He Lianqing.

"There is no table here, I have wronged the owner." He said, bringing the bowls and chopsticks to He Lianqing's eyes.

With a clatter, Helian tilted his hands up, the heavy shackles were on his wrists, and there were already red marks on his wrists.

The cell was too dark, and Luo Zheng realized that He Lianqing's wrists and ankles were locked with iron shackles, and he felt as if he had been hit by someone, hitting his chest.

I saw him standing up with a "chuckle" and immediately walked out.

"What?" Helen asked.

"My subordinates are looking for the key." Luo Zheng replied unsteadily, his emotions came suddenly and violently, whether it was anger or something else, it seemed that the blood all over his body was rushing into his head.

When he saw the prison guard who was sleeping on the ground, Luo Zheng took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and calmed down a few times so that he didn't directly kill him.It wasn't until he dug out the key and closed his eyes in place that he returned the way he came.

When the person came back with the key, everything seemed to be as usual.

It was getting darker in the cell, and He Lianqing couldn't see Luo Zheng's stiff expression, but he untied the handcuffs and shackles without saying a word, and threw them aside.

Helian turned her wrist and said comfortingly: "It's okay, it's not locked for a long time. When you leave, you have to lock it again."

Luo Zheng was silent for a moment, looked into He Lianqing's eyes and said, "How about the owner go back to the inn to rest?"

He Lianqing almost laughed out loud, and said, "Stupid?"

He stretched out his hand to lift Luo Zheng's chin, and asked again: "Want to rob the prisoner?"

Luo Zheng frowned, and replied in a low voice: "This subordinate is incompetent."

Helian sighed and ordered: "Go and light the candle."

"Yes."

After lighting the lamp and coming back, the strangle marks and scratches on Helian Qing's wrist became more difficult to ignore.

Luo Zheng's chest heaved and he stared directly at He Lianqing's wrist, unable to utter a word.

He Lianqing looked down, but it was nothing but being shackled for a few hours.

"The food is getting cold." He Lianqing said.

Luo Zheng came back to his senses, quickly picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and said, "This subordinate serves the owner of the villa."

This time, He Lianqing was stunned for a moment, he really never expected such unexpected gains.

I saw that there was no hesitation in being the owner of the villa, and he immediately turned into the appearance of "seriously injured and unable to eat by himself".He opened his mouth with peace of mind, and let Luo Zheng feed him without complaint.

Not seeing Luo Zheng's preoccupied face, Helian swallowed and asked, "Have you eaten?"

Luo Zheng nodded, but remained silent.

He Lianqing naturally didn't believe it, and ordered: "Eat some more."

"It was brought to the owner to eat." Luo Zheng replied.

"Let's eat together." He Lianqing insisted.

Seeing that he refused to listen to persuasion with a serious face, He Lianqing wanted to take the bowl and chopsticks as he spoke, and wanted to feed them back one bite at a time.

Luo Zheng couldn't resist, so he had no choice but to agree.

He ate a few symbolic mouthfuls, during which Luo Zheng couldn't help but glance at Helian Qing.

He Lianqing naturally found out, and instead of taking the dishes brought to his mouth, he asked, "What's wrong?"

Luo Zheng hesitated, and asked, "Did they torture the owner?"

"Never." Helian shook his head.

"Well," Luo Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a while and said, "Let them release the owner tomorrow."

"Is everything done?" Helen asked.

"Yes, Huangfu Xin will arrive in Lingzhou before dawn. According to the owner's order, the subordinates have met Xia Huaichen," Luo Zheng shook his head, and continued, "It's not him."

"Well, it's about Luo Zhizhang's life and death, so he must be afraid."

Luo Zheng nodded and said, "Steward Luo was injured a little bit, Xia Huaichen was indeed very nervous. Now Steward Luo is under house arrest in a small courtyard in Tenghua Lane, guarded by Wei Wu."

"Well," Helian Qing thought for a while, and then said, "Go back tonight and have a good rest, don't worry. Just follow the plan tomorrow morning."

Luo Zheng looked at him silently, picked up the bowl and prepared to start "feeding" again.

He Lianqing asked doubtfully, "What?"

Luo Zheng glanced at him again, lowered his head slightly and replied, "This subordinate will not leave tonight."

Instead of asking if he could stay, he simply said no.

He Lianqing raised his eyebrows and asked calmly, "Why don't you leave?"

Luo Zheng tightened his hand holding the chopsticks, his eyes were cautiously probing: "Can this subordinate not leave?"

He Lianqing let out a long sigh in his heart, how could he bear to refuse with this appearance.

After a pause for a while, he only said: "... yes."

Luo Zheng pursed his lips, He Lianqing saw a smile on his face, and felt inexplicably happy.

The doting eyes really made people blush, Luo Zheng reminded with some embarrassment: "Master, the food is getting cold."

Helian twitched her forehead, and said to herself that if she said a few more words, the food would really be getting cold.At the moment, he stopped teasing him, took the bowl and chopsticks and started to move by himself.

Seeing Luo Zheng frowned again, he emphasized again: "It's nothing."

While talking, he started to "feed the meal", Luo Zheng took two mouthfuls and then sat a little further away, the intention of refusing was very obvious.

He Lianqing didn't bother with him, after dinner, he forced Luo Zheng to share with him the warm sweet soup under the food box.

Looking at the person who put all the bowls and chopsticks into the food box, He Lianqing smiled and said: "That's very thoughtful."

Luo Zheng countered: "I have wronged the owner."

"It's okay."

He Lianqing thought for a while, then asked again: "The jailer outside..."

While laying out the hay on the ground, Luo Zheng replied, "Don't worry, the owner, the subordinate has used drugs."

"En." He Lianqing looked at Luo Zheng's back, and answered absently.

Luo Zheng said again: "The subordinates will guard here, and the owner will sleep after a while."

Only then did He Lianqing continue his words: "Did you use drugs?"

Luo Zheng nodded: "Yeah, I even tapped the sleeping point."

He Lianqing ordered: "It's not long, let's sleep together for a while."

Luo Zheng thought for a while, squatted beside the hay, took off his coat, spread it out, and sat down leaning against the wall.

"Lord, let's rest." He patted his thigh very naturally, signaling Helian Qing to use his leg as a pillow.

He Lianqing looked at him and patted his legs twice while talking, and a pair of black eyes looked over quietly, waiting for him quietly.

There was candlelight in the distance, and moonlight nearby, and it was bright and dark, and he suddenly wanted to just sit like this and look at the person who was only thinking of him.

If time could stop at this moment...

Luo Zheng didn't know what was going on in He Lianqing's mind, and when he saw that he hadn't spoken to him for a while, he seemed to suddenly remember what he had just done.He quickly straightened his back, and explained with some embarrassment: "This subordinate is impolite! This subordinate thinks that if the owner of the villa sleeps next to his subordinate, it may be more comfortable..."

Of course He Lianqing knew, he sighed secretly, it seemed that as long as he responded a little late, the people in front of him would think wildly.

So he nodded, leaned over and lay down on Luo Zheng's legs.

Luo Zheng lowered his head and looked at the person who was actually pillowing on his lap, as if suddenly realizing how close the two of them were and how intimate this posture was, his chest was pounded by a violent beating, The shock made his ears roar and his cheeks burned, but he couldn't slow down his heartbeat no matter what.

He Lianqing looked directly at the face above, he had never looked at Luo Zheng from this angle.

Look at his thick eyebrows and starry eyes, the high bridge of his nose, and the corners of his resolute lips slightly pursed; look at him blinking his eyes uneasily again because of something he couldn't help himself.

He suddenly didn't want to guess or try any more.

"The dungeon is wet and cold, don't lean against the wall." He Lianqing said in a deep voice, looking at the person who had already turned his eyes away to look elsewhere.

Luo Zheng's wandering eyes froze for a moment, he felt that his heart was about to lose control, this person... really...

Luo Zheng quickly glanced at He Lianqing's face, as if he was afraid that if he continued to look at each other, he would be seen through.

He replied: "Thank you, the owner, the subordinates know."

He Lianqing looked at the man who sat upright silently and left only his chin for him to see, and made a wicked smile, and took his hand to play with it carefully.

Luo Zheng obediently asked him to hold the vital gate of his wrist in his hand, and quietly raised his arm slightly following Helian Qing's strength.

He Lianqing smiled secretly, he couldn't understand how fast the heart was beating in front of him.He adjusted his posture, found a comfortable angle, and closed his eyes.

Seeing that he looked like he was about to sleep, Luo Zheng felt relieved, and quietly looked at Helian Qing a few more times.

But at the next moment, the man suddenly raised his hand and put it on his heart.

Bang bang bang!

He Lianqing opened his eyes with the corners of his lips twitched, thought for a while, but then said: "Here...you don't need to wear any clothes."

Luo Zheng froze for a moment, remembering the ill-fitting jailer clothes he was wearing.At that time, I didn't think too much about it, I just picked the cleanest one and put it on. I didn't expect the owner to make fun of it for so long.

Luo Zheng didn't know what to answer, so he curled his lips helplessly and didn't speak.

He Lianqing stopped looking at him, and looked at the small square of night through the small window on the wall.

The cell was extremely quiet for a while, and Luo Zheng's heart also calmed down when he heard the occasional sound of burning candle wicks and the chirping of insects from the small window.

After an unknown amount of time, Helian Qing's voice sounded suddenly, low and clear.

He was still lying there, looking out of the window, and asked, "Why don't you go?"

He had to answer the second question, and Luo Zheng lowered his head to look at his side face, and replied, "Your subordinate is worried."

Helian didn't respond after listening, and reminded lightly: "There are Zhang Chi and Lu Huiyao outside."

"Subordinates know."

"There are also people from Ting Yulou."

"Ah."

"Worry?" He Lianqing repeated, with a three-point emphasis.

"..." Luo Zheng was momentarily at a loss for words.

Even if Luo Zheng was outstanding in Tingyu Building, all those who could be selected as He Lianqing's personal hidden guard would not be useless, nor worse than Luo Zheng.

Luo Zheng didn't answer, and He Lianqing didn't pursue it, and then asked, "Why did you come here?"

He shouldn't have come, no matter what the reason is.The owner ordered him to do other tasks, but he still came. Like so many times before, the owner always wanted him to get rid of the presumptuous assertions.

Luo Zheng suddenly felt that his throat was a little tight, and he explained in a low voice: "The things arranged by the owner, the subordinates have finished."

But He Lianqing was not in any mood, and asked him as if chatting, "Since we're done, why don't you take a rest."

Without waiting for Luo Zheng's answer, he continued, "I know you've suffered internal injuries, so you don't have to say it's okay. And I won't starve to death if I miss a meal. I ask you to do it. There is nothing wrong with not coming to this dungeon, and it is a violation of orders if you come."

Luo Zheng felt pain in his heart, his nails were subconsciously digging at his fingers, he moved his lips, and instinctively uttered four words: "This subordinate deserves to die."

He Lianqing turned around to look at him, and said in disbelief, "You said you were a secret guard this morning, but you have to know that people like Lu Huiyao are called secret guards."

"Ordinances and prohibitions, you don't have to follow me all the time if you have nothing to do." He Lianqing watched Luo Zheng's face turn gray, but still said every word clearly.

As if he had been slapped in the face, Luo Zheng froze there, staring at Helian Qing for a long time, but seemed unable to understand the cold and sharp eyes of that person.

He twitched his lips but said nothing.

He Lianqing waited and waited, feeling a little bit disappointed.He was expecting but didn't reveal his expectation, he was afraid that Luo Zheng would see what he wanted to hear, and he didn't want Luo Zheng to say those words just to satisfy him.

He felt that he knew Luo Zheng's heart, but he also felt that even if Luo Zheng dug out his heart secretly, he would not dare to offer it to him face to face.

Like every time in the past, He Lianqing was ready to compromise, he turned sideways and stopped looking at that distressed face.

Luo Zheng looked at his profile, and muttered sadly: "This subordinate just wants to see the owner."

Helian snorted and said in a low voice, "What are you doing seeing me?"

There was disappointment in one sentence, it didn't look like asking Luo Zheng, but more like laughing at himself.

"Miss you." Luo Zheng moved his lips and said two words almost silently.

He Lianqing opened his eyes suddenly, not daring to move, for fear that he had heard wrong just now.

He asked calmly, "What did you say?"

"Miss you." Luo Zheng repeated.

Luo Zheng had never called Helian Qing that way before, and now he was in a state of confusion, his brows were furrowed, and his nails were almost wedged into his fingers.

Helian Qing's heart was beating wildly, and he slowly looked at Luo Zheng, his voice so calm that it was outrageous.

"Say it again."

Luo Zheng looked down at He Lianqing's shining eyes, and was dazed for a moment, something flashed through his head, which made him suddenly understand.

But he was not so sure, so he could only frowned and said, "The owner heard it."

"No!" Helian shook his head.

"Understood." Luo Zheng said with a solemn face.

"Say it again." He Lianqing couldn't restrain the corners of his lips from rising, and the smile slowly spread to his eyes.

"Think..." Luo Zheng closed his mouth again, really didn't know how to say it again, as if he had just been fascinated by a ghost.

"Who do you want?" How could He Lianqing let him go, looking straight into his eyes, and asked forcefully.

"...The lord."

"Let's talk together."

"I miss the owner." You can't pretend you didn't say it, Luo Zheng said it again and again with the mentality of breaking the can.

"You miss me after only a day?" He Lianqing asked with a smile on his face, which was rare.

"Well," Luo Zheng couldn't bear to look at that very happy handsome face anymore, turned his head away, and whispered, "Always..."

"Always what?" Helian hooked Luo Zheng's neck and pulled him closer, the two were so close that their noses were almost touching their noses.

Luo Zheng blinked, and replied, "I always want to."

He Lianqing smiled in satisfaction, leaned forward and kissed the lips that were still breathing, then let go of her hands and sat up.

He leaned over, held Luo Zheng's neck, and asked softly, "Did you scare me just now?"

It was only then that Luo Zheng was sure that all the previous events were intentional by the person in front of him, he sighed slightly, and felt a lot more relaxed.

He Lianqing hugged Luo Zheng and kissed again and again, the breathing of the two gradually increased, but He Lianqing suddenly stopped.

He tugged on Luo Zheng's clothes which he messed up, closed his eyes, and said with a wry smile, "Oh, why is it here?"

Luo Zheng caught his breath, smiled quietly, and asked again: "The owner...do you want to go back to the inn to rest?"

He Lianqing squinted his eyes, if he said that the first time he asked was because he felt sorry for his suffering in the dungeon, then the second time he asked was just wanton teasing.

Forget it, seeing the corners of his mouth curled up, He Lianqing would never feel that anything was beyond the rules and regulations.

And it's like picking up a baby, and I feel very happy.

"It doesn't matter to my subordinates." Luo Zheng paused, lowered his eyes and said.

"..." He Lianqing stroked Luo Zheng's cheek, feeling extremely fondly for an instant.

Helian said, "Read a poem for everyone."

Whoever reckons that the west wind is cold alone, Xiaoxiao Huangye closes the window, meditates on the past and sets up the setting sun.

Being shocked by the alcohol and sleeping heavily, the gambling book was so scented with tea, it was only normal at that time.

Luo Zheng said, "I'll read one for everyone too."

Red paper fine print.It's a fair business.The swan goose is in the cloud and the fish is in the water.It's hard to send this feeling of melancholy.

The setting sun is leaning against the west building alone.Yaoshan is right on the curtain hook.I don't know where the human face is, but the green wave still flows eastward.

Helian said, "Read one more song."

The mountain peaches are full of red flowers, and the spring water of the Shu River beats the mountain stream.

Bonuses are easy to decline like a man's will, and the flow of water is infinite like a sorrow.

Luo Zheng said, "The last song."

The most important thing is that the east and the west flow together, and the two meet in the end.

Shallow love finally seems like, the cloud is uncertain, still in the dream soul.

Poor people, thinner than clouds, Jiahui is even harder.

Thinking about it, there are many heartbroken places, which are not the same as this time.

Seeing the surprised look on the person, Helian threw an arm around Luo Zheng, kissed him softly, and murmured: "Quickly recite poems, and go to bed early."

The author has something to say: This is a rotten meme... For the sake of the word count that I wrote until two o'clock in the morning, don't bother with me...

It is not ruled out that there will be minor changes in the future...

Also, I wish you all a very successful 2017.
