Your Highness asked me to pay him back his honor

Do not take the official road when going out of the palace, pass the old Cao Gate and cross Niuhang Street. There is a hidden wide alley behind Jingde Temple and Shangqing Palace. Only Nuo rituals are used for blessings.

There are few people on the road and the road is flat, just letting go of the comfortable riding.

Yunlang couldn't sit still when he was young, and often dragged Xiao Xiaowang on a horse to relieve boredom, going around the inner and outer cities, and he could find this way even with his eyes closed.

"Go a little further, Wangjingguan has an all-night vegetarian meal."

Yun Lang quickly ran for a while, reined in and turned around, waiting for Xiao Shuo to catch up: "Is your horse okay, can I trade it for this horse?"

Xiao Shuo tied the bridle with him: "My riding skills are inferior to yours, and it's the same if I change it."

Xiao Shuo's dark horse is also a Dawanliang horse, gentle in nature and good at running long distances, but not as agile and brave as Yunlang's white horse.

General Yun Shao has always liked fierce horses the most. If he were to switch, he would inevitably find this horse too boring.

Xiao Shuo urged the horse to run faster: "Slow down, does the injury on your hand hurt?"

"Is this considered fast?"

Yun Lang looked down and didn't take it seriously: "If you allow me to go to the suburbs of Beijing, I'll show you what a serious horse race is."

No matter how clean and spacious the alleys in the city are, they are not as comfortable as the suburbs of Beijing.After leaving the gate of the outer city, you can just ride your horse and run wildly, which is far more comfortable and enjoyable than this trotting.

Back then when he met Rong Di's spies, Yun Lang narrowly escaped death, and the outskirts of Beijing became a forbidden area that the former emperor Tai Tuo and Xiao Shuo stared at together.

Unconvinced, Yun Lang sneaked out several times.The imperial guards guarding the city gate received the imperial decree, just to surround Lord Yun every day, they were so worried that they wished to seal the city gate, and then build the city wall three feet higher and one inch thicker.

Xiao Shuo remembered the past and took a look at Yun Lang: "You asked the imperial army to persuade you to go back seven times, and you were so angry that you swore with hatred and decided to dig a hole in the city wall."

"Where did you know that?"

Yun Lang reined in his horse in surprise: "I remember when we conspired together, we were afraid that you would be too honest, and you would kill your relatives and go to inform the Taifu, and we deliberately didn't tell you..."

"I was by the side when King Jing informed the Taifu."

Xiao Shuo said: "He didn't memorize the "Shangshu", in order not to be hit by the Taifu with a ruler, he recruited the hole you dug."

Yun Lang: "..."

"To the west of the city, five feet to the side of Yiqiu Gate, I dug three feet, and I dug in the wrong direction."

Xiao Shuo: "I wanted to go see it, but unfortunately I went a step too late, and I had someone rush to fill it up overnight."

Yun Lang: "..."

"treachery."

Xiao Shuo advised General Yun: "We should throw stones at him."

Yun Lang watched the hole he dug disappear out of thin air overnight, wondered for half a year, and only now knew the culprit. Feeling complicated, he raised his hand and pressed his chest.

He was angry for a while, and when he looked up and saw Xiao Xiaowang who was still talking flatteringly at this time, he couldn't hold back his anger: "Who said you are rigid? It's not a big deal to watch the excitement better than anyone else... You always follow the scene Why is the king not dealing with it?"

Xiao Shuo looked at him for a while, then turned his gaze away, and rode forward without saying a word.

It was rare for Yun Lang to see that the little prince had lost his temper. He couldn't understand it for a while, and urged his horse to catch up: "Just because I wanted to dig a wall, I found him without telling you? Can you help me if I ask you?"

"Besides, with your temper at that time, it would be good if you didn't drag me to find the Taifu and surrender to the capital."

Yun Lang was full of lingering fears: "If you really know it, you will probably tear me away and count how many bricks have been dug up. Tell me to pay according to the amount. Half a brick counts as one, and two to one makes five..."

Xiao Shuo raised his eyes: "How did you get out later?"

"Later, Uncle Duan taught me to fly tiger claws."

Yun Lang said: "When the army is attacking the city, who digs a hole from the bottom of the city? They all use flying tigers to hook the top of the city and turn it up."

"In the beginning, I practiced with Shuofang Lian Sheng and the others. The steps were cumbersome and easy to be noticed. Later, I practiced lightness kungfu to the same extent. I didn't need to fly tiger claws, so I didn't plan to go underground and flew out instead..."

In the middle of Yun Lang's speech, he suddenly came to his senses and reined in his horse in astonishment: "You gave Uncle Wang this idea?!"

"At that time, all the Rong and Di spies inside and outside the capital were wiped out, and the suburbs of Beijing were no longer in danger."

Xiao Shuo glanced at him indifferently: "The elders made an appointment to hide it from you, because they want to watch you spin around."

Yun Lang only found out the truth today, he was heartbroken, and stopped on the spot holding the rein.

"If you had come to me earlier." Xiao Shuo said, "You would have left the city earlier."

"That's what I said..."

Yun Lang's mood was a bit complicated, and he said slowly: "Isn't it because you always control me and scare me? How dare you tell you about this kind of thing, and you don't come to settle old scores with me—"

In the middle of Yun Lang's words, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly came back to his senses: "No, why are you suddenly digging through this old account today?"

Xiao Shuo asked him to stop, pursed his lips, held the rein, and glanced at him.

"say something."

Yun Lang lightly knocked on the horse's belly, told the white horse to catch up, and looked at Little Prince Xiao whose ears were blushing inexplicably, "Being the vanguard officer in front of my tent, I know that I will definitely not abandon you and run to northern Xinjiang by myself. Is the vinegar finally ready to open the altar?"

"Yun Lang!"

When Xiao Shuo heard the words "Old Vinegar", he rushed forward enthusiastically, "Don't... bully people too much."

"I just asked King Jing to dig a wall together, or he did it and I stood, and he dug it wrong and I watched, it's worth you remembering for so long."

Yun Lang shook his head and sighed: "The location is all in memory, every word is memorized, just wait to find out and settle accounts with me..."

Yun Lang suppressed a smile on the corner of his mouth, and chased after him: "Little prince, who is bullying too much?"

Xiao Shuo was speechless and avoided Yun Lang's sight.

Yun Lang pulled the reins, the white horse understood people's wishes, and followed the lead to lightly bump the shoulder of the black horse: "Do you want to dig the wall? Tomorrow night at three o'clock, see you at Yiqiu."

Xiao Shuo gritted his teeth: "Yun Lang, don't—"

Before he finished speaking, he uncontrollably stepped aside.

The black horse is docile by nature, and doesn't care if it gets hit. It makes room for the domineering white horse, and kisses the white horse's silver satin-like mane affectionately.

Yunlang Daqi: "You raised these two horses together? They are so cute, they look like their master..."

Xiao Shuo couldn't bear it anymore and closed his mouth tightly, his ears were hot, he beat his horse and left.The black horse hesitated a little, turned its head back frequently, and asked its master to urge it again and again, so it could only shoot forward with the wind on its four hooves.

Yun Lang was full of joy, raised his whip, and rushed to catch up with lightning speed.

The two horses were personally raised by Xiao Shuo, they were vigorous and vigorous, they galloped with the wind, and stepped on the Qingshi street with a crisp sound.

Xiao Shuo has also mastered his riding skills over the years, but he is still slightly inferior to Yun Lang. When he ran to the end of the alley, the snow shadow behind him caught up firmly.

Yun Lang handed his rein to his left hand, stretched out his right hand, and pulled Xiao Shuo's rein.

Xiao Shuo glanced at Yun Lang's movements from the corner of his eye, and his heart was suspended. He was afraid that the two horses ran at different speeds, and they would pull Yun Lang down and hurt him: "Let go! Be careful—"

Yun Lang smiled and said, "Don't let go."

Xiao Shuo was startled slightly, reined in and looked up at him.

The white horse was running smoothly, catching up all the way, and happily bit the black horse's tail.The two horses were tired of being in one place, and gradually stopped.

"Back when I dug a hole in the wall, I took King Jing with me but not you. I was wrong."

Yun Lang said with a good temper: "I know I was wrong, and I will throw stones at King Jing when I turn around."

"This matter has been exposed, so there is no need to mention it again." Xiao Shuo frowned, "I just—"

Yun Lang was curious: "Just what?"

Xiao Shuo tensed his shoulders and made no sound.

It's just... Seeing King Jing is very unpleasant, and he always wants to ask someone to dig a trap at the gate of King Jing's mansion.

"He made an appointment with you, but he was frightened by the majesty of the Taifu, and he confessed everything. Although there are reasons and difficulties, it is ultimately unrighteous."

Xiao Shuo held the rein, lowered his eyes and said, "From now on..."

"Never hang out with him." Yun Lang readily agreed, "I only look for the little prince for everything, drink with him, and sleep with him."

Xiao Shuo: "..."

"What nonsense?"

Xiao Shuo got off his horse, and said in a deep voice, "You want to lead the army, I want to advise you, from now on, you should have the knowledge of people. If you don't trust people—"

Yun Lang saw the jar of vinegar on top of Prince Xiao's head, parked under the moonlight on the street, smiled and said softly, "Xiao Shuo."

Xiao Shuo's heart froze and he couldn't say a word.

Yun Lang smiled at him, threw the reins, and also jumped off the horse.

After tossing and tossing again and again tonight, Yun Lang felt faintly tired when he was in the restaurant.Just now he exhausted his mind and energy chasing after the eagle shooter on the top of the palace, but at this moment he completely exhausted his last bit of strength, and felt his feet go limp when he landed, so he swayed and sat down on the ground.

Xiao Shuo rushed over, stretched out his hand before he fell to the ground, and caught him firmly: "Nonsense!"

Xiao Shuo hugged Yun Lang and sat cross-legged on the spot, feeling his veins, his eyes glowed, "Why didn't you call me if you didn't have the strength? If you fell off the horse and got hurt—"

Yun Lang leaned against his arm, stretched out his hand, and tugged Xiao Xiaowang's sleeve.

Xiao Shuo paused for a while, frowned and fell silent, holding Yun Lang's back, trying to adjust his breathing and Qi.

"No rush." ​​Yun Lang smiled, "I haven't been this happy for a long time."

Xiao Shuo was slightly stunned, his hands paused, and he met Yun Lang's gaze.

Yun Lang was resting on his arm, his face faintly pale from exhaustion, his brows and eyelashes were drenched with sweat, but his eyes were full of a clear and clear smile.

With his hands covering Yunlang's back, he could feel the intense thumping in his chest, hitting his palms one after another.

Xiao Shuo was silent for a long while, held his sleeves, and slowly wiped the sweat off Yun Lang's forehead.

"You know why I..."

Yun Lang didn't want to tell him at first, but wanted Xiao Wangye to be jealous of this matter for the rest of his life. At this time, he was lazily pillowing in Xiao Shuo's arms, and couldn't help laughing: "Why didn't I look for you at that time, but went to King Jing ?”

Xiao Shuo frowned: "Isn't it because I always take care of you and disturb you?"

"Of course it is, but it's not the most important thing."

Yun Lang turned his head and nodded the little prince's chest: "You still come to settle accounts with me... Let me ask you, did you sit at the same table with King Jing during those days when I was recuperating and couldn't go to the palace?"

Xiao Shuo: "..."

It was rare for Xiao Shuo to provoke and make trouble once, and he already felt that it was inappropriate. Looking at General Yun at this time, he felt a little complicated for a while: "The seat was assigned by the Tai Tuo, who said that King Jing is too lazy to learn and skill, so I want me to teach him. some."

"in spite of."

Yun Lang said: "When King Jing came to check on my injury, he said that you sat with him for five days and said three sentences to him."

Yun Lang gritted his teeth: "I thought about it carefully at that time, in those five days, I didn't say three words to you!"

Xiao Shuo was irrefutable, he supported General Yun who had been in a coma for five whole days in the palace, and calmed his breath for him.

"I managed to get better in those few days. I wanted to go to the academy to find you. The empress clearly agreed to it a few days ago, but for some reason, I suddenly refused."

Yun Lang became angry after thinking about it: "I wanted to ask you to come to me, but my mother said that you are busy with schoolwork and cannot disturb..."

Yun Lang was so badly injured that he could not move while lying on the couch.Day after day, thinking about Xiao Shuo sitting at the same table with King Jing, talking and drinking, he was so angry that he bit off three bamboo chopsticks, and stood up from the couch on the seventh day.

After the injury was completely healed, the first thing he did was to ask King Jing out, throw a shovel, and dug the wall for most of the night, bluffing King Jing.

"..."

No matter what, Xiao Shuo couldn't figure out how the young Yunlang came up with the idea of ​​"sitting in one place, drinking and talking happily". He touched Yunlang's sweaty forehead, and hugged him with the sleeve of his robe: "I never Had a good time with him..."

Yun Lang was very vigilant: "Where's the wine?!"

"No." Xiao Shuo said, "Alcohol is prohibited in the academy, and offenders will be fined fifty feet, and twenty days of sweeping and carrying water."

Yun Lang was dubious, and reluctantly listened to his explanation: "Well..."

The carriage of Prince Yan's Mansion was always following behind, and at this time, he found a space and had already followed.

Xiao Shuo handed the two horses that were still chattering their manes to Lian Sheng, carried Yun Lang into the carriage, and sure enough, he saw Lian Sheng's prepared wine in the carriage.

General Yun Shao has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he has to practice menstruation and blood circulation with medicinal wine. He is the only one who is not bound by the rules of the academy.Yun Lang is not addicted to alcohol, but he likes fine wine and new fermented grains. All the famous restaurants in the capital are good wine, and they are all sent to the young master.

Xiao Shuo hugged him firmly, took a small jar of wine, and slapped the wine seal, the rich aroma of the wine came out.

"Xinfeng wine?"

Yun Lang's eyes lit up: "Isn't this what I wanted from you at the beginning? You swore that you would buy it for me, but in the end, my injuries were healed and I didn't see alcohol..."

"I did buy it at the beginning, but after I left the palace, your injuries recurred, and you vomited blood all night, and you fell asleep."

Xiao Shuo said: "As for the former empress not allowing you to come to the academy, I can't go to you either... probably because of this."

Yun Lang was at a loss: "What does it matter? I have repeated injuries, so I can't blame you."

Xiao Shuo wiped the moisture from his forehead, his eyes fell on Yun Lang's handsome brows that were soaked with sweat, and he said softly: "I brought wine back then, and saw that you were sleepy and your liver and gallbladder were torn... …did something inappropriate."

Yun Lang: "?"

At that time, the little prince Xiao must call it "Li". Yun Lang ran to sleep on his bed in the middle of the night, but was speechless by the little prince's "different seats for seven years old and different rooms for thirteen years old", and went to Xiao Xiaowang angrily. Shuo's quilt was stuffed with dozens of locust rocks.

Yun Lang reflected on the past, and really couldn't think of how inappropriate he could be: "Did you... touch my finger very rudely?"

Xiao Shuo lingered on him for a while, shook his head, and wrapped Yun Lang around his head and neck to protect him.

Yun Lang met his gaze, couldn't help being slightly startled, pursed the corners of his lips, and unconsciously moved his throat slightly.

"At that time, I heard that your injuries were repeated. When I rushed to the palace, I saw that you were unconscious and dying, and there were bloodstains all over the side of the couch. I also heard from the imperial doctor that you might really die."

Xiao Shuo said softly, "I don't know what else to do...the blood ginseng has been boiled into soup for you to drink, and Imperial Physician Liang gave you an injection, surrounded by a group of people, saying that it depends on your good fortune and resigns to fate."

Xiao Shuo said: "I think, I will listen to this destiny with you."

Yun Lang could vaguely hear the ominous meaning in his words, and even though it had passed long ago, he still couldn't help frowning: "Why do you listen to this? You don't believe in these things..."

"I don't believe it now, if the destiny wants to take you, I will take the destiny."

Xiao Shuo said: "At that time, I was young and ignorant. Seeing that you were on the verge of life and death, I just... wanted to give you a sip of wine."

Xiao Shuo lowered his eyes: "You once told me that Xinfeng's wine is worth ten thousand dollars. After you drink Xinfeng wine, you can become a young hero who stands above heaven and earth. You will be tied to the Qilin Pavilion on the horse and enshrined in the Mingguang Palace."

Yun Lang's chest felt hot, he tugged at the corner of his mouth, and said in a low voice: "You—"

Xiao Shuo: "I don't know, it is also the first form of the second half of "The Legend of the Spring Palace"."

Yun Lang: "..."

Xiao Shuo took a sip of his wine, lowered his head and kissed General Yun, and passed the wine.

The aroma of the wine is mellow and refreshing, spreading between the lips and teeth, entering the heart and spleen, bringing out the heart-warming warmth that penetrates the chest.

Yun Lang didn't hold back, and then he groaned loudly as he slammed into the drums, and said to himself: "Wait a minute, I don't have the strength right now, I can't move even if my hands and feet are weak——"

Xiao Shuo nodded: "This is the second form."

Yun Lang: "..."

Yun Lang: "???"

Xiao Shuo collected himself and took another sip of his wine.Holding Yunlang in his arms, he changed the place carefully, and kissed it with his eyes closed.
