Your Highness asked me to pay him back his honor

Yongxing Army Road, Hezhong Mansion.

The majestic Qinling Mountains was silent in the twilight, two horses galloped one after the other, stepping on the snow, splashing a piece of cool snow powder on the face.

Yun Lang wiped the dripping sweat from between his brows and eyelashes, reined in the reins, barely stopped the white horse that was running happily, and turned his head to wait for Xiao Shuo to catch up.

Xiao Shuo followed, reined in his horse and tied the bridle with him: "Where are you going?"

"Qinling."

Yun Lang lifted his sleeves to wipe off his sweat, untied the water bag and took two gulps, then threw it over: "Turn it over, and you're entering Xiaoshan."

The mountain road is steep, and if you don't pay attention, you will fall into the mountain stream.Xiao Shuo stayed on the outside of the road all the time, and couldn't let go of running completely. After running these days, he was still a few horses slower than Yun Lang after all.

The black horse did not fight for victory, so it came to rub the white horse's neck, pressed Yunlang's palm against it, and snorted docilely.

Yun Lang pulled away the dissatisfied white horse, stroked the black horse's mane, and fed a handful of sweet corn kernels.

The capital of the previous dynasty was on Yongxing South Road. Up to now, Jingzhaofu still governs the counties. Guanzhong is flat and fertile and thousands of miles away.

Xiaoshan is steep, with many high mountains and no valleys. It guards the border of Guanzhong Plain and forms a natural moat with Hangu Pass. It is a fortress that military strategists must contend for.

The two of them followed the army until the third day, and tied up their ulterior motives at the Town God's Temple. They never followed the army again, and just let go of the reins and rode their horses happily.When I was thirsty and hungry, I swallowed dry food from the mountain spring, and when I was sleepy, I found a tree and fell asleep on the ground and under the sky. It was actually much more comfortable than a warm couch in the capital.

Xiao Shuo took two sips of water, carefully watching Yun Lang's complexion.

Such galloping for several days and nights was extremely exhausting, and it was not easy for Yun Lang.

But General Yun's face was pale, and he sat on the horse with his armor on, but his eyes were bright and clear, and the smile was full of eyes, which could be seen in a blink of an eye.

Yun Lang told him to stare non-stop, a little curious, and looked down at himself: "What's so interesting?"

The two horses ran side by side, Xiao Shuo leaned forward and tied the water bag back to Yun Lang's side.

Now he is very clear about how to govern General Yun, he is not in a hurry, and slowly said with lowered eyes: "You."

Yun Lang opened his mouth, and the back of his ear suddenly felt hot, Hongtong vented from the horse's back, closed his mouth and slid down obediently.

"Physician Liang said that the entanglement of depression is no less than the torture of illness and injury. Now it looks really good."

Xiao Shuo got off the horse together with him, and tied the reins of the two horses together: "If I had known that running like this could make you feel at ease, I should have accompanied you out for a horse race years ago."

"If you come out early, I may not be able to run."

Yun Lang twitched the corner of his mouth and shook his head: "Besides, horse racing is fun, but this is not what makes you happy..."

Xiao Shuo asked: "What is it?"

Yun Lang raised his head, looked at Xiao Xiao Wangye's focused expression that was really waiting to be engraved in his heart, he didn't hold back Le, and responded with a tooth for a tooth: "You."

Xiao Shuo paused slightly, raised his eyes to look at him, and Yun Lang's figure was reflected in his eyes.

"This world, this place, this scene, this person."

Yun Lang pulled the rein out of his hand, and threw it out casually, and the black horse led the white horse to graze: "You only see that my heart is at ease? Little prince, I brought you out to relax."

These years, it was Xiao Shuo who guarded the capital, and it was Xiao Shuo who guarded the house waiting for him to come back.

In the endless abyss full of flowers, it was Xiao Shuo who should have broken the cage and smashed the cage, and came out to take a breather and relax.

He made his home all over the world, and when he came back from the ends of the earth, he saw something good and wanted to show it to Xiao Shuo.

Yun Lang wanted to make him feel at ease, and pulled Prince Xiao over, and stood on the ridge together.

The winter is just over, and the cold spring is still expected to be cold. There is still snow on the north of the Qinling Mountains, but the south slope is already covered with green leaves.

As far as the eye can see, after winter frost and snow, a lush greenery is full of vitality.

"It is said in Kuo Di Zhi that King Wen used to shelter from wind and rain in Dongxiao Mountain. It was deep and shaded, with deep valleys and steep slopes. Passers-by were afraid and dared not enter lightly."

Yun Lang held Xiao Shuo's hand, recited half a paragraph solemnly, turned his head and smiled at him: "Pitch a camp in this kind of place, live for ten days and a half months, it's far more carefree than the capital..."

"In the 28th year of Youhe, when you turned back from northern Xinjiang, you were chased by the garrison guards and fell into the valley."

Xiao Shuo asked: "Is this here?"

Yun Lang froze, exasperated: "With such a good atmosphere, can't you say something else?"

Xiao Shuo lowered his eyes and looked at the steep and hanging stream under the two of them.

"Do you think I fell, fell on the stone and broke, and then put myself back together miserably, crying and carving this trip on the stone?"

Yun Lang poked a row of eye knives, whistled to signal the black horse to follow, pulled Xiao Shuo's hand, and walked towards a seemingly dangerous cut-off path.

Xiao Shuo didn't ask, just let him pull, stepping on the waist-high overgrown weeds, all the way down.

"You were in the palace at that time, and you asked the late emperor to pull out the poison, and you haven't had time to send someone out to look for me, right?"

Yun Lang tugged at him, muttering all the way: "I told you a long time ago, I can't believe the news from the Guards Department. Seven out of ten are fake news that I released, and the remaining three are because they didn't even find the fake news. Bite the bullet and go back to make up..."

"The Hangu Pass guards are my old troops. They covered my tracks for me, saying that I fell off the cliff and disappeared. In fact, they helped me secretly build a wooden house at the bottom of the cliff, and let me recover from my injuries for more than half a month."

Yun Lang stood still, and pulled Xiao Shuo back: "There is a saying that I never lied to you. With my temper, I have never asked for trouble like some people. I can live as comfortably as I can."

Xiao Shuo borrowed his strength to keep up, and raised his eyes: "You have such a temper, if you don't hurt me in your words, you won't be able to sleep well at night."

Yun Lang was so dizzy with joy that he told Xiao Shuo to help Kankan to stand firm, helped him to stand on the old tree beside him, and pulled him around a few sharp turns: "Could I be wrong? I've been suffering all day, so I should punish you This problem... has arrived."

This road seems to be steep, but the feet are surprisingly stable.It's just that the grass is half-covered and you can't see it, and it lingers ten times. If you don't walk through it first, you will never find it.

Not only the two of them came down smoothly, the black horse held the reins of the white horse in its mouth, and without being led, they also stumbled down along the way.

"It's a pity that I was in a hurry. This place is not a place to recuperate the wounded...It's getting late, so stay overnight before leaving."

Yun Lang went around the wooden house a few times, and was quite satisfied, nodded: "There is a shortcut here, along the Luoshui River Valley, without having to go over the mountains and pass Hangu Pass, all the way to the outside of Shuozhou City."

Yun Lang ran around the border a few times, and later sneaked back to northern Xinjiang to check the border defense several times, all of which he took this way.

Xiao Shuo tied the horse to a place with lush green grass, walked to the wooden house and took a closer look.

Although hard to find and hidden by the riverside at the bottom of the valley, there is no weeds in front of and behind the wooden house, so it doesn't look so desolate and dilapidated.

Xiao Shuo pushed the fence away and looked at the doors and windows: "Is there anyone here?"

"Hangu Pass Guards."

Yunlang Shumen Shulu lifted the manhole cover and washed his face with a bucket of water: "Didn't there always be news that I died on the way to escape? When they heard that I was dead, they would come here to cry and burn paper, clean up and cry. come back."

Yun Lang flexed his fingers and calculated: "In the past five years, I have cried and sacrificed about seventeen or eight times."

Xiao Shuo: "..."

"At the end of last year, I wanted to stay for a few days before leaving. Unfortunately, I came just in time for the rumors to spread to Hangu Pass."

Yun Lang now thinks of the situation at that time, and he still feels a lot of emotion: "They burned the paper, kowtowed their heads, and came back after calling the soul, and I just jumped off..."

"..." Xiao Shuo: "What about after that?"

"I'm back."

Yun Lang sighed: "The defenders of Hangu Pass almost sent several of them away on the spot."

Xiao Shuo coughed, took a deep breath and supported the gate, turning his head sideways.

Yun Lang suppressed a smile, walked around the little prince several times, and finally saw the shadow of a smile in his eyes, and felt relieved: "It's a good smile, let's have another one."

It was related to Yunlang's life and death, Xiao Shuo didn't want to be so dishonest in this kind of matter.After trying my best to press down a few times, I saw General Yun dangling in front of my eyes, but I still couldn't hold it down, so I lowered my head while supporting my forehead.

Yun Lang liked to watch this, the corners of his mouth were raised, he stretched out his hand to hug him, and bit the corner of Xiao Shuo's mouth lightly.

Xiao Shuo raised his hand to protect his back, and said in a low voice, "Don't make trouble—"

Yun Lang didn't raise his head, regardless of the tightness of his armor, he wrapped his arms firmly around Xiao Shuo's back, and hugged him vigorously.

Xiao Shuo paused for a moment, took off Yunlang's helmet, and even untied the headband that bound his hair. With his palm on the back of Yunlang's head, he gently rubbed his sweaty black hair.

"Do you know why I am suddenly in a hurry to return to Beijing?"

Yun Lang buried himself in his neck, and said in a low voice: "On that day, I suddenly realized... I really wanted to tell you about this matter."

Fighting alone, fleeing for one's life alone, stumbling for one's life with gritted teeth and wounds wrapped tightly in blood, and passing through after a while, it's not that difficult.

Yun Lang hid from the pursuers and also hid from Xiao Shuo all these years, when he encountered a happy incident that made him laugh out loud, his first reaction was to laugh so hard that he stomped his feet and wiped his tears while turning his head, reaching out to tease Xiao Wangye. sleeve.

"I turned around and didn't touch your sleeve."

Yun Lang said softly: "Suddenly want to see you, I want to die, I can't stand for a moment."

Xiao Shuo pulled his chest fiercely, and with great enthusiasm, he hugged Yun Lang tightly.

"There is a cave behind the house, go deep, and there is a geothermal spring inside."

Yun Lang put a note on his neck: "It's not big, it's not as comfortable as the one in your house, it's better because there is a crack on the top, through which some night can see through."

Yun Lang still wanted to say something, but when he heard Xiao Shuo's strong heartbeat in his chest, he suddenly didn't want to say anything, and just smiled: "Go to bubbles, to relieve fatigue."

Xiao Shuo leaned over and hugged Yun Lang.

Yunlang's armor is light, but it has some weight.He couldn't help being taken aback, and held onto Xiao Shuo's shoulder: "What are you doing? I'm not injured or sick—"

"you are tired."

Xiao Shuo kissed his moist eyebrows: "Take a break."

Yun Lang paused for a moment, looked up at Xiao Xiaowang for a while, the warmth in Mingrun's eyes slowly warmed up, pointed in a direction, and buried his eyes on Xiao Shuo's shoulders.

The terrain of the Qinling Mountains is steep, and the north and south are clearly defined. The south side is obviously much warmer than the north slope.

In the deep forest, there is a clear sound of birdsong and insects echoing in the empty valley.

The geothermal spring was hidden deep in the cave, Xiao Shuo carried Yunlang into it, placed him on a flat stone platform, held him firmly, and unarmed him.

A few days ago, in the battle at the Town God's Temple, the pursuing dark battalion collided with the guarding guards, and the more they fought, the colder their hearts became.

The forbidden army on duty originally belonged to the cavalry army of the bodyguard department, and the one who pursued them was the dark barracks from the bodyguard department.The imperial army kept their hands in mind everywhere, but they were almost taken advantage of by the dark barracks and suffered a big loss.

When Xiao Shuo arrived with his men, the cavalry officer of the bodyguard department was wounded in his leg. He stared at the wolf-headed knife of the dark barracks, his eyes were about to split open, and he hissed and asked, "Why?! Why..."

Why did the former comrades turn against each other so easily.

Why did the original bosom friend, because of an emperor's order and a world event, be able to break up to this point.

……

Why is it that you are going to fight to the death for your country, but before you can swing your knife at the enemy, the cold, vicious tip of the knife has already been stabbed in your back.

Xiao Shuo took off Yunlang's shoulder armor, put it aside, and lowered his head to untie the silk sash on his back.

The two of them let go of horse racing these few days, leaving no spare energy.Yun Lang relaxed at this moment, his whole body trembled a little, and slowly slid down against his chest and shoulders.

Xiao Shuo kissed Yun Lang's brows and eyes, and untied his armor with sharp hands: "Don't sleep yet."

Yun Lang coughed, and said in a vague way: "I don't want to sleep...Did you know that the Emperor also came for the battle at the Town God's Temple a few days ago?"

Xiao Shuo whispered: "I know."

Yun Lang was slightly surprised, and looked up at him: "Know?"

"If the dark army camp wins, the emperor will come out immediately, pardon the forbidden army's crime of tampering, and then you and I will be punished and sent to prison."

Xiao Shuo nodded: "It's a pity that the dark barracks has become the end of its strength, and it no longer has the power and prestige it used to...he has completely panicked."

Yun Lang couldn't help laughing: "I would panic too. I ran away with a King Xiang, and now you and I ran away so openly. He sat on that throne, and every day he opened his eyes, there would be two swords hanging above his head. , not necessarily which one will fall.”

"Since it is suspended, I don't care about hanging it for a few more days."

Xiao Shuo's eyes were cold for a moment, and he closed his eyes: "If you don't come out, I wanted to besiege the City God's Temple and sign a blood oath with him. If he doesn't hurt you, An Ansheng will tolerate the reform, and I will leave him alone." One life."

When Yun Lang ran to the outskirts of the city, he was indeed forced to make a blood oath in the Town God's Temple, but he never expected that the little prince would be so penny-pinching, and he had a headache: "It's not necessary to hold grudges to this extent..."

"Why not?"

Xiao Shuo said: "Whatever is owed to you should be paid back."

Yun Lang couldn't help laughing: "According to this, if you owe me, should I also get it back?"

Xiao Shuo raised his eyes and looked at him.

There was a smile on Yun Lang's face, but his eyes were rare and serious, with a faint sharp edge, and he couldn't see the slightest intention of joking.

Xiao Shuo sat quietly for a long time, closed his eyes, and nodded: "I have known you since childhood. I am both a robe and a close friend. But I only know that hatred blinds my heart. I don't understand your painstaking efforts. Repaying virtue with grievances, causing you to go away alone, should be Heavily punished."

Yun Lang leaned on his shoulder, raised his arms to hug him, and pressed his voice close to Xiao Shuo's ear: "How to punish severely?"

"What I owe you, whether it's punishment or punishment, should be punished more."

Xiao Shuo whispered: "Family law is in your hands, how do you punish—"

Yun Lang unfastened Xiao Shuo's breastplate behind his back, and put one hand into the cold armor.He purposely mobilized some internal energy, and the warm palms slowly warmed the chest and back of His Royal Highness Yan, who was hit by the cold.

The iron armor is cold and hard, restraining people's movements, but with this layer of confinement, the thin heat through the fabric of the clothes is particularly distinct.

Yun Lang leaned on his shoulder, and the air he exhaled brushed past Xiao Shuo's ears, it was warm and soft, and gently brushed into the bottom of his heart.

"Good punishment."

Yun Lang smiled and said: "Double and then double, according to the usury of the gambling house, the interest increases, and the principal is paid back three."

Xiao Shuo closed his eyes, firmly suppressing the slight shudder that was aroused under his muscles and bones: "Okay."

Yun Lang wiped his shoulder armor, put it together with his own, and slowly said: "Counting the dreams, I have seventeen times... I looked back to you when I was laughing, but I couldn't find anyone, very sad. "

Xiao Shuo was startled, and opened his eyes to look at him.

"You have to laugh with me 51 times, the most hearty one, the kind that laughs so hard that you can't stand it."

General Yun Shao calculated very clearly, buried his head in picking up a stone and wrote and drew on the ground: "If you don't go up for a year, just roll again."

Xiao Shuo stretched out his arms to embrace him, and said in a hoarse voice, "Yun Lang."

Yun Lang immersed himself in the calculation: "72 times, the fish and rabbits I baked were fat and oily, fragrant and delicious, but I couldn't share them with you."

"Yunlang." Xiao Shuo closed his eyes forcefully, "You don't have to comfort me like this, I'm not stuck in the past, it's just—"

"Who comforted you?"

Yun Lang threw the small stone in his hand, clapped his hands and raised his head: "360 days a year, 160 days, I wake up in a dream. If I were at home, I would be able to turn into your study with just a lift of my legs, and I will be in your lamp. Grab your book, grab your pastry to drink."

"Two thousand and 160 days, tripled, is six thousand and 480 days."

Yun Lang said nonsense: "If you don't have these 480 big dreams within a year..."

"Not yet."

Xiao Shuo said in a low voice, "There are only 360 days in a year. Day and night, it's not enough to go to the high bed."

"..."

Yun Lang was careless for a while, and didn't count on this, he was tongue-tied for a while, and simply kept messing around: "No matter, if you still don't come up, then--"

Xiao Shuo hugged him and kissed Yun Lang's eyes: "Let's delay it for another year, and then triple it."

The eyelashes caused the airflow to be slightly disturbed, and there was a burst of itching, which turned into tiny crackling sparks, and rushed along the spine into the heart and lungs.

The water droplets on the rocky cliff slowly gathered, swayed, and hit the calm water with a ticking sound.

The cave was silent, and one could hear the blood scorching and whistling in the lungs, rampaging, boiling hot.Together with the heartbeat, it hit another tightly fitting chest without reservation.

Yun Lang trembled slightly, his voice became hoarse unconsciously, and he said in a low voice, "Wouldn't it be even worse..."

"It's not up yet, so it can only be delayed for another year."

Xiao Shuo kissed him slowly, his voice was hoarse but peaceful, as if he had finally let go of the deepest shackles, and held out his sincerity completely and without leaving any room: "Year after year, life after life, you Just ask me."

"Life after life." Xiao Shuo said softly, "I will pay you thousands of sweet dreams."

Yun Lang felt a sharp pain in his chest, he didn't speak, and closed his eyes.

It was slightly cold inside the cave, and both of them had undressed, and their clothes were a little thin at this time.

Yun Lang was wrapped around his chest, shoulders and arms, his chest was stiff for a moment, he buried his face in the clothes on Xiao Shuo's shoulders, and complained in a low voice: "It's cold."

Xiao Shuo hugged Yun Lang, sat down firmly along the hot spring, let the warm water flow over their chests and shoulders, and slowly patted Yun Lang's tense and thin back.

Yun Lang trembled slightly in his arms, relaxed, and straightened up.

Xiao Shuo met his gaze, raised his hand, and pressed lightly on the end of Yunlang's eyes.

Yun Lang was a little embarrassed, turned his head, exhaled and smiled: "Okay, the account is settled, you don't have to feel that you owe me any more."

Today, I was slack for a while, but I fell into the problem of not living up to expectations.Yun Lang raised his hand and wiped his eyes indiscriminately, and smiled: "If we really want to talk, which one of us doesn't owe it? Let's stop arguing about it, I still owe you..."

Xiao Shuo said softly, "Yes."

Yun Lang: "..."

Yun Lang: "?"

Xiao Shuo raised his hand and took the stone that Yun Lang casually dropped from the bank.

"Little prince." Yun Lang was in a complicated mood, "I just want to be polite to you."

Xiao Shuo embraced him with one arm, and raised his eyes quietly: "Young General Yun is afraid and wants to renege on his debt?"

Yun Lang finished his thoughts. He was most afraid of being provoked in his life, especially Xiao Xiaowang. At this moment, he clearly knew that there was a hole in front of him, and he said generously, "Of course you are not afraid! You—"

Xiao Shuo nodded: "Okay."

Yun Lang jumped into the pit, pressed his chest, dying.

"these years."

Xiao Shuo was quiet for a moment, and the stone slowly drew a line: "I want to be with you, I want to kiss you, I want to hold you in my arms."

Yun Lang listened intently for a while, heaved a sigh of relief, and nodded his head: "What should I be, you can do whatever you want..."

"This matter will not be discussed."

Xiao Shuo said: "In short, from now on, we can be in one place all the time, so we don't need to count them specially."

Yun Lang opened his mouth, but there was nowhere to refute: "...not bad."

"As for wanting to tie you to the couch, and trap you by my side from now on, I won't let you run around again."

Xiao Shuo lowered his eyes: "I have thought about it a thousand times to make another chain to lock you and me together."

Yun Lang: "..."

"It's just a matter of thinking about it, and I won't discuss it."

Xiao Shuo: "You don't have to care."

Yun Lang was a little concerned now, cautiously slipped out of Xiao Wangye's arms, and quietly moved to the shore without leaving a trace.

Xiao Shuo didn't stop him, and stretched out his hand to cushion the place where Yunlang might be bumped by the jagged rock bottom, lest Yunlang inadvertently injure his knee, and slowly scratched down with the stone again.

"I don't ask for this, and I don't ask for that."

Yun Lang always felt that the last one was inexplicable, so he knelt on Xiao Xiaowang's lap and turned his head cautiously: "What exactly do you want?"

Xiao Shuo put the stone aside and looked up at him: "When you and I went to the soup pool in the house in the past, we also talked about the past and analyzed our sincerity."

Yun Lang thought about it carefully, then nodded slowly: "Yes."

Xiao Shuo: "It also relieved depression and comforted pain."

Yun Lang swallowed dryly: "Yes..."

"That day."

Xiao Shuo lowered his eyes: "You said I can't do it."

Yun Lang: "..."
