It seems that he took the initiative to throw himself into the arms and hugged him, and finally someone arranged a separate tent for him and Lou Chuiyun, and brought fresh water for grooming and a change of clothes.

Zhuo Yue looked at the supplies and clothes that flowed in like water, and always felt an indescribable complicated entanglement in his heart.

...Why does it feel like being promoted to the concubine after a night of favor?

Lou Chuiyun was so excited that his eyes lit up, he took off his clothes and began to wipe his body: "I can finally take a shower, I feel so sticky these days. Hey, they suddenly treat us so well, it's you who succeeded Convinced Li Changxing?"

Zhuo Yue also took a bath sullenly: "...Persuasion ass."

With a long sigh, he briefly recounted what he had just said to Li Changxing.

Lou Chuyun was dumbfounded when he heard that: "What? He doesn't plan to go back to the Central Plains? Then what do you do? Do you want to stay here with him?"

Zhuo Yue felt upset and threw the Gejin into the water basin.

He hasn't figured out what to do.

To be honest, he never expected to face this situation again.In his imagination, since Li Changxing was forced back, he must have been reluctant to stay here.Li Changxing might be angry with him and annoy him, but he would not be unwilling to go back with him.

Who would have imagined, now it is time to let the tiger go back to the mountain.

"Hey, let me tell you." Lou Chuyun turned back worriedly, "I still have to report the truth to my elder brother about today's matter, and I won't help you hide it—"

His words suddenly stopped, and he narrowed his eyes slightly as he stared at Zhuo Yue's red/naked back.

"Wait a minute." He took a few steps closer hesitantly, "What's on your back and neck? Red?"

Zhuo Yue was startled for a moment, but immediately responded.

The lingering exchange between the two just now was very intense.Li Changxing held him down from the back, acting wildly and rudely as if venting his anger, and when he was in love, he would bite the skin on the back of his shoulders and the side of his neck, lick, lick and bite to his heart's content.

The little wolf cub must have left a lot of marks on him.

He raised his hand to cover his neck, and said perfunctorily, "Mosquito bites."

Lou Chuyun widened his eyes, pointed at him and said, "Zhuo Yue, do you fucking think I'm a child? This is clearly—"

Zhuo Yue covered his mouth: "What the hell, do you want everyone to know?"

Lou Chuiyun's expression changed: "We've been together for so many days! When the hell will you find time—"

He stopped short.

The two were inseparable when they were on the grassland, and they have only been separated for a while today.

It was self-evident who Zhuo Yue was with at that moment.

Lou Chuyun stared at him closely, his face gradually distorted.

Zhuo Yue had a headache.He originally didn't want the Lou brothers to know about his private affairs, but since Lou Chuyun had come here with him, and Li Changxing's attitude was so difficult to deal with, he probably couldn't hide it if he wanted to.

"It's just what you think." Zhuo Yue said in a low voice, "Don't say anything."

Lou Chuyun tremblingly said: "You, you fucking...Zhuo Yue, you are so powerful, I am convinced. So you are not here to find your brother, but Xiao Qing'er?"

Zhuo Yue put on his clothes, and said calmly: "He is not only my little lover, but also my brother. Don't worry, no matter what our relationship is, it will not affect you. You do well Just do your own thing."

He felt a little depressed, so Lou Chuiyun walked out alone.

However, in all fairness, it was his complicated and entangled relationship with Li Changxing that made the situation what it is today.If the two were just ordinary brothers, he would only feel guilt and apology for some, instead of mixing together all kinds of complicated emotions and making a mess like they are now.

Li Changxing probably wouldn't be so resentful towards him.

He once heard people say that love and desire give birth to worry, and worry gives birth to fear; if one is separated from the loved one, there is neither worry nor fear.

All the helplessness he is experiencing now is the cause and effect of the sweet happiness planted in the past.

He sat alone outside the tent for a while, then took out the letter bird and wrote a long letter to Lou Changfeng.In the letter, Li Changxing's current attitude and the relationship between the two of them were completely frank and clear.

He has come this far, and there is no way out.If Lou Changfeng would be annoyed or even suspicious because of their personal relationship, then he would admit it.After this is over, even if he can't return to the barracks, he will think of another way to repay Lou Changfeng's kindness.

It's just that he doesn't have the slightest idea how to "end" the matter here.

Night fell quickly, but the stretching tents became more and more lively.The snow-white tent was covered with felt to keep out the cold, but the bright lights still seeped out from inside the tent, looking from a distance like the tails of flickering fireflies.

Zhuo Yue still remembered that Li Changxing asked him to participate in the fire festival, so he followed the crowd.Soon, I saw a huge bonfire lit by a cluster of five or six people hugging each other in the open area of ​​the grassland. The flames soaring into the sky were very spectacular, dyeing the nearby grassland orange red.Under the reflection of such human fireworks, the stars in the sky are no longer bright.

Behind the bonfire, there is a pile about three people high, made of stones and firewood.There are three floors in this pile, and the size and area decrease from bottom to top. It looks like an altar from a distance.Each floor is decorated with colorful ribbons and flowers. The bottom floor is filled with sacrifices such as hardware, five grains, five silks, and five treasures, and the top floor is decorated with the tribal flag of Dari Achi.

Zhuo Yue vaguely knew the purpose of this pile.

It was recorded in ancient books that "at the height of the peaks and mountains, there are piles of chaotic stones forming tombs, which are called the dwelling place of gods."①

These three-person-high stone and wood piles were originally signs of roads and boundaries, in case nomads lost their way in the vast sea of ​​grass.Later, an unwritten rule was formed, and the cavalry who traveled far away had to dismount and pay homage when they passed by Duizi, praying for the blessings of the gods for a safe journey.

Gradually, the custom of offering sacrifices to Duizi remained, and now it has evolved into a major festival for offering sacrifices to mountain gods, road gods and praying for a good harvest.

Although Zhuo Yue had heard of it, he had never seen it with his own eyes, so he couldn't help being curious.He sat down in the crowd far away, just wanting to see it from a distance, so as not to attract others' attention.

But he wanted to keep a low profile, but some people couldn't make him do so.

A thunderous cheer sounded.Zhuo Yue turned his head, but saw that the crowd automatically parted to make way, and a tall figure was walking towards this side.He was already tall and had long legs, and his deep and beautiful face looked a little arrogant and indifferent when he was expressionless, and the dark bearskin cloak gave him a bit of a majestic look.

Zhuo Yue stared blankly at Li Changxing who was approaching.The man who caused a lot of cheers no longer looked like the dirty and thin boy he was in Jiyang Town.

Zhuo Yue thought that the place where he was sitting was hidden enough, but Li Changxing walked up to him as if he had clairvoyance.The cheers around suddenly stagnated, and everyone looked at them with a little stunned.

Li Changxing looked down at him as if no one was around: "Why are you sitting here?"

Zhuo Yue was very embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "Leave me alone, what are you supposed to do."

Li Changxing twitched the corners of his mouth, then suddenly leaned over and pulled him up, holding him tightly beside him, and strode towards the campfire.Zhuo Yue was taken aback, and was about to struggle but was pulled back by Li Changxing vigorously, but he turned his head slightly and said softly, "Don't forget where this is...don't fight against me."

Zhuo Yue was angry in his heart, but he could feel the inquiring and puzzled eyes around him, so in order not to cause trouble, he had no choice but to suppress his unhappiness.

Li Changxing led him all the way to the bonfire, when a prairie man came over with a dead fox and put it at Li Changxing's feet.

But he saw that the whole body of the fox was snow-white, except that there were three tufts of red hair on the forehead, which looked like real fire with three flavors.A sharp arrow shot straight through the fox's eye, and the strength was just right, without damaging any fur.

This fox should be a rare treasure that is extremely difficult to hunt, and as soon as it was put down, it caused a lot of exclamation and admiration from the surroundings.

Li Changxing picked it up like a fox, but turned around and handed it to Zhuo Yue: "Throw it into the bonfire."

Zhuo Yue didn't answer: "You shot this, right? What are you doing for me?"

The prairie man next to him seemed to feel something was wrong, and said something quickly, but was scolded back by Li Changxing.

Zhuo Yue felt more and more uneasy, frowned and said, "This is the sacrifice of your prairie people, I think I'd better not—"

Li Changxing suddenly took a step forward and grabbed his arm tightly.

His stature was already extremely high, and he was even stronger in a cloak at this time. When he was pressed down, he was like a giant bear bending down, with a strong sense of aggression.Zhuo Yue froze instantly, but saw him tilt his head slightly and put his lips close to his ear, his voice was soft but full of danger: "Brother Zhuo, don't let me hear you say 'you' and 'me'... ...don't forget how much you still owe me."

Zhuo Yue tensed up all over.He could feel that the moment Li Changxing approached, everyone around him fell silent. If his eyes were real, he would have been stared at more than a dozen holes on his back.

But he couldn't refuse Li Changxing.

After a while, he took the white fox with a stiff hand, and threw it into the bonfire.

There was a dead silence around, and no one cheered and cheered.

Li Changxing smiled very satisfied, and he pulled Zhuo Yue up to his seat without hesitation.

Zhuo Yue didn't know the special meaning of the action of "throwing the sacrifice", but judging from the reactions of the people around him, it shouldn't be a trivial matter.His chest was full of distress, and after sitting down, he said angrily in a low voice: "What are you doing? Do you have to cause me some trouble to be happy?"

"Trouble?" Li Changxing laughed softly, "Look at the people sitting here, everyone is as angry as a bullfrog, but who dares to say anything, who dares to say anything?"

He took a sip of the kumiss on the table and said with a slight smile, "This is the power of power. Brother Zhuo, isn't it intoxicating?"

Zhuo Yue clenched his fists.He was sore and angry, wishing he could jump up and slap the kid awake, but he felt dazed and powerless.

Where did Li Changxing, who blushed with excitement because of a gift from him, go?

After a while, he suppressed all kinds of emotions and said coldly: "Even if they are afraid of you and respect you, if they know about our relationship, probably no one will flock to you."

No one would really trust a leader or subordinate who had an affair with a foreign race.These prairie people are like this, and it is estimated that Lou Changfeng is also like this.

Unexpectedly, Li Changxing laughed: "Don't worry, brother Zhuo, I am their best choice now."

Zhuo Yue was stunned, but he didn't understand what he meant, so he heard the silence around him.

But they saw a group of people walking towards them slowly from the crowd.Different from the excitement when Li Changxing appeared, at this time the crowd seemed to automatically move out of the way out of fear, and no one dared to make any noise.

However, the person walking in the front was tall and slender. Among the Central Plains people, they were considered gentlemen, but among a group of grassland people who were as strong as mountains, they looked even weaker.When he walked to the side of the bonfire, when the dazzling fire light illuminated his face, Zhuo Yue couldn't help gasping:

What a handsome young man with male and female appearance!

He had also seen quite a few men with outstanding looks, Li Changxing was one, and so was Shen Bing before.But no matter how good-looking they are, no one will regard these two as women.

However, this boy is different.His skin is as white as snow, his face is thin but without edges and corners, his nose is soft and his lips are delicate, coupled with his immature body, he looks even more indistinguishable.If he wasn't wearing men's clothing, Zhuo Yue would have thought that the person walking over was a tall and beautiful girl.

And opposite to that handsome face, is this young man's icy face.Along the way, he hardly looked sideways, with a slightly tired and impatient expression, and walked to the seat far away from Li Changxing in almost three or two steps, and sat down indifferently.

"This is my second brother, Hulan Mulun." Li Changxing whispered in Zhuo Yue's ear, "How is it?"

The author has something to say: the new character is online, Xiao Li's sick second brother, hehehehe~
