【Zhou Ye】The King of Luoyang

The young marshal decided that the fairy land was Yuntai Mountain instead of Songshan Mountain. Ye Xiu, who was under the control of others, of course wanted to say, okay, not bad, let's go.

Although Zhou Zekai was in a hurry, it was already halfway through the day, and he would not be able to go to the village or shop in the rush, so he had to pack his bags first and set off on the next day.His idea is good, people who can identify fakes are even more skillful in fabricating fakes.Moreover, the Zhou family owns a large amount of mountain fields and woodlands in Yuntai Mountain, and has also built a holiday manor, so it is convenient to go there to do business.Nowadays, the world is in chaos, and everyone joins forces to form a territory for self-government. It has long been an unwritten agreement that everything is dug out in whose territory.

In the early morning of the second day, the two of them set off. They first took a car and entered Jiaozuo. There was no way for the car to go forward. Then they got off the car and changed horses. The two rode together and continued on.

Zhou Zekai still pretended to be sick and bedridden to the outside world, even Jiang Botao didn't tell the truth, he just said that Ye Xiu told Yuxi to be buried in Yuntai Mountain, and he wanted to take him to see if it was true.He doesn't need to talk about the rest, the commander's mansion and military affairs must be entrusted to Jiang Botao first, and Jiang Botao will save his worry and trouble when he handles affairs.In this way, there will not be many people going with Zhou Zekai when he goes out without anyone noticing this time, there is only a group of his most trusted personal soldiers riding behind him on horseback, and he will arrive a day later.

In the evening, Zhou Yechi entered a village at the foot of Yuntai Mountain. At night, wild beasts appeared, smiling proudly in the forest, and it was not easy to enter the mountain, so the two picked up a shop that could barely be called an inn to stay.There are plenty of guest rooms, but there is still only one.

When they arrived at the store, they had to be top-notch. The two of them even rode a car and rode for a day, and they had to deal with lunch casually.Even a sophisticated person like Zhou Zekai felt that the table of rice in front of him was really delicious. It was stewed, fried and fried, with both colors and aromas. It was quite...exquisite and special.

Ye Xiu picked up a chopsticks dish and put it in his mouth, chewed it twice, swallowed it, and nodded appreciatively, "It's not bad, it looks good, and it tastes good too." He greeted Zhou Zekai, "Eat, Xiao Zhou."

"What did you order?" When ordering, Zhou Zekai was in a daze at the simple storefront, and it was Ye Xiu who slipped into the back kitchen and walked around, came out and said it was okay, let him wait to eat.

Ye Xiu was impolite, kept chopping chopsticks, and said intermittently, "Yes, every household here has a tofu workshop, probably because they are famous for making tofu. I guess you are not used to other things, so let The store made a table full of tofu, which looks like meat, and tastes good...Hey, you don’t want tofu, do you?”

After Zhou Zekai finished appreciating the dishes, Ye Xiu seemed to have changed a bit in his eyes, Ye Xiu was also a fastidious person, the kind of fastidious person who goes with the situation.So no matter where he goes, he can always find things to make himself safe and to be particular.

He diverted his chopsticks halfway, took it straight into Ye Xiu's bowl, and picked up Ye Xiu's fried tofu. After eating it, he thought about it for a while, and said, "I love it."

The fried tofu skin was warm and hot, and Ye Xiu kept it cold in the bowl for a long time, before he could eat it, Zhou Zekai chopped it off, and muttered dissatisfiedly, "Then you don't eat mine either." He added two yuan to himself, Put another two yuan in the bowl for Zhou Zekai.

Courtesy is reciprocal, and Zhou Zekai also responded to Ye Xiu with two chopsticks, "Your...delicious."

Ye Xiu glanced at him, it was delicious, so he switched the two bowls, "Then let's eat like this."

The two of them ate happily, and gradually they ate up the whole table, and ordered a few dishes later, but if they couldn't eat it, it would be better to try a few chopsticks.

A banquet can’t be done without wine. The store owner came to introduce the wine brewed by himself, and the water at the foot of the mountain was good and the food was good, and he couldn’t drink it anywhere else. The two non-alcoholic people couldn’t bear it, so they asked for a jug.Ye Xiu's drinking capacity, Zhou Zekai took him out to eat a meal, he can count, he is not a huge amount, it is still the same, if he can't drink, just have a few sips.

The small shop is not big, and it looks crowded when there are five tables. Zhou Ye occupied the middle one, and no one came to eat at the second table all night, as if the two of them had reserved the place.

At the beginning, the store owner was still behind the counter, trying to settle accounts and watch people, but the two customers had no intention of leaving the show, and instead became more and more happy.He was so sleepy that he yawned, thinking that since he lived upstairs and was dressed like a human, it would be all right, so he apologized to them both with a smile on his face, and went back to the backyard to sleep.

The quietness in the valley's hinterland has always been unusual, and it is better than other places. The emptiness surrounded by mountains allows peace to be seen everywhere on such nights, in someone's baby's swaddle, or in the needlework of clothes under the oil lamp.One or two howls of dogs and wolves came from a distance, and before leaving the village, they dispersed, floating into the night like fine dust, and turned the dining table where Zhou Ye was sitting around into the busiest place in the world.

The two of them chatted for a while, and their voices were not loud, mainly because Ye Xiu was saying that after drinking, Zhou Zekai's tongue became a little bit better, but only a little bit.The door of the hotel is open, and the outside is surrounded by a wide courtyard wall surrounded by fences. During the day, the dust picked up by mules passing by cannot enter the inside. The courtyard is clean from inside to outside, and the moonlight falls beautifully all over the ground. Cut off by the threshold, I managed to penetrate an inch to enter the house.

Ye Xiu's capacity for alcohol is really not good, and after drinking a cup, his head and face will go up again and again, and he is half awake and half confused.Two candles were lit on the table, completely overwhelmed by the moonlight. He stretched out his eyes in a daze, looking for the moon that looked like a copper basin, and looking for the mountains in the distance that were only blurred with towering black shadows. After finding it, he exclaimed , "This place is so good, it's beautiful enough." This admiration brought a sense of satisfaction unique to drinking, and a taste that life is so hard to ask for.

The candle flickered slightly, as if it was dancing on Ye Xiu's alcoholic face, Zhou Zekai's heart skipped a beat, he thought, the mountains are more beautiful, I can go to Zhuyu Peak with you... His hand also moved, The two ounces of country rice wine made him move, and he lifted it up slowly, like a dying patient, struggling with great effort.

He wanted to touch Ye Xiu's face.

Unexpectedly, Ye Xiu stood up abruptly, staggered out of the table as if drunk, saving Zhou Zekai's struggle, Zhou Zekai's hand was standing alone in the middle, retracted, clenched his fist, and lay back on the table.There was still half a cup of wine in the small wine cup in his hand, he was not drunk enough to confuse the cup, this cup belonged to Ye Xiu, but he still picked up the cup and brought it to his mouth.The amber in the cup was trembling, and there was more than half of moonlight and a little half of candlelight in it, but this intoxicating color could not attract him, what attracted him was the man standing in the clearing.

——People are framed inside by a door frame that is so poorly crafted. At this time, the door frame is no longer a door frame. She is slender, her body is not graceful, and her singing skills... probably the worst among Zhou Zekai's fanciers.However, unlike the libretto, there are "beautiful days" and "beautiful scenery" here, and Shang Ke has also become the sound of nature. Zhou Zekai has "enjoyment" and "pleasure", and even wipes away the lingering emotions that have been lingering in his heart for days. mind...

He drank the wine in one gulp and put the wine cup back.

After Ye Xiu sang, he entertained himself with the strength of wine, sat back down, and didn't even notice that the wine cup was empty.Zhou Zekai clapped his hands twice, took off the jade finger, and threw it into Ye Xiu's wine cup.Ye Xiu stared at Zhou Zekai amidst the sound of turning, Zhou Zekai had no choice but to explain, "You are rewarded." Ye Xiu ignored him, and continued to look at him, his eyes were straight. Just now, the wind blowing at the door just now made the alcohol dissipate even more. , Really drunk, only drunk people will have such fiery and straightforward eyes - no matter how indifferent he is usually.

Zhou Zekai also looked back at Ye Xiu with such eyes, as if competing.They don't know that this kind of gaze cannot be in contact for a long time. They have hooks and ropes, and they will draw the owners of the two gazes closer and closer, and attract them together... Zhou Zekai's lips first looked for it, and slammed it fiercely. , eager and regretful, as if I finally met this person 20 years late.Ye Xiu didn't move away, he opened and closed his lips, but let out a sigh, this sound and the words behind him pressed Zhou Zekai's head.

Ye Xiu said, "I don't think you are someone who wants to be emperor."

Just this one sentence is enough, what Zhou Zekai is looking for Yuxi, Ye Xiu can see it in his eyes and understand it in his heart.This was also a secret enough for Zhou Zekai to silence him. Ye Xiu did not hesitate to expose himself, was he trying to take the opportunity to persuade him?Because he not only said with his mouth, but also with his eyes: I don't think you are a person who is so confused that he embarked on this road of no return.

The city that Zhou Zekai had cultivated was useless in an instant. He was disintegrated by wine, Yuejing, and Ye Xiu one after another. He also exposed himself to Ye Xiu with a complicated expression.

Ye Xiu was drunk, and when he heard something, he would forget it when he fell asleep. Zhou Zekai still hesitated for a while, and finally said coldly, "Father's life is hard." The lives of the subordinates who are as close as brothers are still saved in his father's hands, waiting for him to change them.

"Father's life is hard...it looks like it" Ye Xiu smiled, seemingly relieved, "I'll help you!"

how can you helpZhou Zekai also laughed, noncommittal, and then became more silent.

Ye Xiu had never seen Zhou Zekai like this before, so he stayed silent with him right now.After an unknown amount of time, he felt that it was almost done, and tried to comfort Zhou Zekai, "I think you wanted to kiss me just now."

"..." Zhou Zekai blushed tenderly, his eyes looked around and said to him calmly, "You drank too much."

"Really? It's good to drink too much. It's just right for you when you get drunk to relieve your worries. Come here." Ye Xiu picked up the wine pot that was still half left, and poured wine for Zhou Zekai.

……

My father's life is hard... It looks like, let me help you!

How to help?

After a night passed, Zhou Zekai who woke up now knew how Ye Xiu was going to help. If he didn't make a jade seal, a symbol of the great tradition, wouldn't he be helping him?

Zhou Zekai exerted all his strength, struggling left and right, but it was useless, he was tied to the bed in the hotel room - the same way he tied Ye Xiu a few days ago, like a zongzi.A note was pasted on the window paper with the golden edge exposed by the morning light, and there were a few words in the book - forget me.
