Stirring up with the old enemy

Chen Jingming had just taken off the silver fox fur veiled hat, he was startled when he heard the words, his thin lips curled up slightly, and he said with a smile: "How did Lord Hou take off the skin of the lower officials?"

The homework in Dinggu Temple just ended, and all the Hu monks stood up one after another, lowered their eyes, and surrounded Xu Changping.Although these Hu monks have all shaved their heads, they have beards and mustaches, heavy steel knives hanging from their waists, and the muscles exposed in the gray monk clothes are thick and thick.Looking at the past, the monks of He Temple are all big-armed, brave and sturdy.

Chen Jingming calmly took a step towards Hao Chun, his long eyebrows slightly frowned. "Master Hou, I'll take you back first."

He stretched out a hand towards Hao Chun.

The joints are smooth, and the fingertips are soft and strong.

Hao Chun glanced at it, and immediately remembered how this mischievous hand pressed on his tender place like a newborn baby.That night, this mischievous hand repeatedly kneaded it, somehow it was so good at it, and finally it made him feel dizzy.

"Go away!" Hao Chun resentfully flicked the whip, and deliberately raised his voice extremely high. "Who asked you to pick it up? No, who asked you to come?!"

Chen Jingming opened his lips, and the tip of the right finger that protruded slightly convulsed for a moment. "Master Hou, let's go back to the camp first."

Chen Jingming repeatedly mentioned going back to the camp first, and then stretched out his hand to him. Now when Hao Chun saw this guy stretching out his hand, he was terrified, and he felt uncomfortable everywhere.He flicked the empty whip again bitterly, bared his teeth and said with a sneer: "Is that guy Lu Ji dead? You're coming to find me, leaving a whole camp of cronies alone?"

After a pause, he raised a pair of jucui thick eyebrows again, showing doubts on his face. "How did you find Dingu Temple?"

Chen Jingming curled his fingertips back to the bottom of his sleeves, his eyelids were half drooping, his jade-like face showed no joy or anger, and his voice became extremely weak. "This is how Xiaguan came to Dinggu Temple step by step."

Hao Chun asked him how he found it and how he got there.

Hao Chun grinned ironically. "Yo, the co-author Chen Da Yushi is complaining that no official sedan chair was used to carry you here? I didn't expect you to come."

Chen Jingming lowered his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried his best to warn himself not to let this guy get mad. "The Ugur people are waiting ten miles outside the temple. They have promised that they are willing to offer them to the Maoer Mountain area in southern Xinjiang in exchange for the safety of Allah Khan."

Allah Khan is the leader of the Ugul tribe captured by Hao Chun this time.That day he risked his life and ran into the valley, fled along the trail all the way to Dinggu Temple, unexpectedly bumped into Xu Changping.What was even more unexpected was that after Xu Changping was defeated by his subordinates more than four years ago, he actually hid himself in this Dinggu temple and became a monk.The monks in this He Temple were all under Xu Changping's command in the past, and they were also the remnants of the Hao family army. Everyone bowed to Hao Chunna when they saw Hao Chunna, calling them young masters.

Hao Chun accidentally picked up a bargain, not only got a place to stay, Xu Changping also led thousands of warriors from Dinggu Temple to help him fight back out of the mountain, and even captured the leader of the opponent alive.

After capturing Allah Khan, Hao Chun realized that this pursuit was actually a well-designed trap for him, just to lure him into order and kill him.

According to the captured Allahhan, someone in the Yingtian camp had been tipping them off. It is said that Allahhan, who is not good at Mandarin, could not tell why.Hao Chun confronted Allah Khan all night in the underground cell, and only got this news.

Hao Chun suspected that Lu Ji wanted to kill him, but he had no evidence.

Xu Changping took the opportunity to use Bai Sheng's strategy, and suggested that Allah Khan should write a letter back and teach the Ugul tribe to redeem a large piece of land in southern Xinjiang.Xu Changping and a big buzzing suona were arguing endlessly under Hao Chun's ears. Hao Chun was upset and suspicious of Lu Ji and Qin Dian, King of Anyang behind Lu Ji.

When he was most suspicious, he even suspected that the wind direction in Chang'an City had already been determined, and that King Qin Dian of Anyang was the sure-fire prince.Maybe even the Emperor has already made a decision!Last year's autumn banquet, God ordered him to be punished with twenty court sticks in public, which made it clear that he no longer pampered him like he used to.

Everyone in Chang'an City doesn't care about him anymore, and even wants to kill him, why can't he just throw himself around twice?

So he acquiesced to Xu Changping's proposal.

Originally, Hao Chun just wanted to throw something to Lu Ji, to annoy that annoying guy, but he didn't expect Xu Changping and Bai Shengbenyi to take the land of Allahhan, the leader of the Ugul tribe, as his territory What's more, what I didn't expect was that right now, Lu was almost out of trouble, and it was Chen Jingming who came to negotiate peace.

Who is not good to send?He had to find Chen Jingming who overwhelmed him!

Chen Jingming is used to being eloquent, so if you ask him for a peace talk, the Ugur people will definitely not be able to talk to him.It's all here now.

"Tsk, Mr. Chen's job is really like this!" Hao Chun pretended to raise his thumb, snorted twice from his nostrils, and grinned, revealing two small white canine teeth. "The Uguls didn't die? Didn't they propose any other terms?"

"Not at all." Chen Jingming smiled with half-lidded eyes. "They are willing to cede a total of [-] miles of grassland in the area of ​​Mao'er Mountain in southern Xinjiang, together with the two nearby Haizi, to my Chaoyingtian."

But today, it was Chen Jingming who accepted the negotiation conditions on behalf of Yingtian and came to welcome Hao Chun back in person, not Lu Ji or those cronies of Anyang King Qin Dian under Lu Ji, Hao Chun became more and more confused.

"Bring me the peace talks document." Hao Chun bared his teeth, deliberately smiled casually, and squinted at Chen Jingming. "Since you are an envoy, do you always carry this document with you?"

Chen Jingming clenched his fists again and took a deep breath. After a while, he said softly, "I didn't bring it."

"Huh? Why don't you always play cards according to the routine?" Hao Chun suddenly became furious, and said anxiously: "Bring the documents! Otherwise, how can you let the master believe you?"

Chen Jingming raised his eyelids and glanced at him, his thin lips curled up slightly, and he actually took a step forward to meet Hao Chun's fierce gaze. "In this world, there is no one who is closest to Master Hou than an official. That night, both of us had a bridal chamber. If Master Hou doesn't believe me, is it possible that he can still trust others?"

Hao Chun: ...

"Hahahaha!" A burst of extremely loud laughter burst out from behind his ears.

Xu Changping laughed like a man who cut people in the battlefield, and all the monks laughed along with him. "Master Hou, what my wife said is right!"

Hao Chun turned his head, and saw Xu Changping giving him a thumbs up, winking and yelling something he thought was very funny. "Cooperating with Mrs. Hou, not only is she good-looking, but she also has a strong temper, aggressive enough! Such a gentle and gentle official can actually control you, Lord Hou! What a talent!"

Before Chen Jingming came, Xu Changping was obviously still telling Hao Chun to use Chen Jingming as a bed warmer and throw it away after use. Now the painting style has changed suddenly, obviously he has turned his back.

Hao Chun bared his teeth and grinned in displeasure.Co-author Everyone Loves Chen Jingming?Tsk, didn't you say that this guy is not very popular?No, then what, a shitty bridal chamber!

Hao Chun was so angry that he wanted to beat someone with a whip.

"Master Hou," Chen Jingming took another step forward, just in time to stop in front of Hao Chun, sniffing each other as he spoke. "Shall we go back?"

Hao Chun raised his eyebrows and looked at him.The scent of cinnamon wafted from Chen Jingming's body, and it was dyed with the remnants of that night's exotic fragrance. Now that Hao Chun smelled this fragrance, something was wrong. He shrugged and became a little timid for no reason. "No! Without documents, I can't trust you."

The scene seemed to be deadlocked for a while.

Chen Jingming raised his eyebrows and stared at Hao Chun. After a while, he looked around again.When Xu Changping caught his gaze, he immediately burst out laughing, straightened his throat and said, "Understood, I'll leave now, if Hou Ye and Madam have something to say, speak slowly, ah?"

After Xu Changping finished speaking, he took the people with him and left.Before crossing the threshold, he still didn't forget to turn his head and gave Chen Jingming a thumbs up.

Hao Chun: ...

No matter how cowardly he was, he couldn't wave to Xu Changping and call him back.

So Hao Chun was forced to look at Chen Jingming face to face. He subconsciously twitched his lips, only feeling that the skin of his lips was dry, and his brows were full of anxiety. "You're excited, aren't you? Why isn't it over? Why are you here to join in the fun of fighting in the army?!"

Chen Jingming was robbed by him out of nowhere, if he had to follow his temper, he would turn his face on the spot.But this guy hadn't seen him for four or five days. Besides, it was indeed his fault that night that he couldn't restrain himself, and he asked for too many times.Chen Jingming was still thinking about the medicine that the Lord of the Yueshi Kingdom cheated on him. He always felt sorry for Hao Chun, so he endured it, raised his long eyebrows slightly, and comforted Hao Chun in a gentle voice: "After you leave the camp, there will be no more news. Lu Ji..."

"What about Lu Ji?" Hao Chun frowned and said impatiently, "Did he take the opportunity to play tricks? Did our camp blow up?"

At the critical moment, this guy still remembers official affairs.

Chen Jingming sighed, slowly took Hao Chun's hand holding the black horsewhip, and said softly, "I never bombed the camp. It's just that the guy refused to come to rescue you."

Hao Chun sneered from his nostrils, rolled his eyelids up, and said disdainfully: "He wants to die, how can he come to rescue him!"

"...you actually know?" Chen Jingming's voice became more gentle, with a hint of worry. "Since you know everything, why didn't you guard against him before?"

"How to defend? He is the supervising army, and I am just leading troops to kill the enemy." Hao Chun also felt a little uncomfortable. The hand held by Chen Jingming was uncomfortable everywhere. In the cold and snowy weather of the first month, he unexpectedly I feel sweaty palms. "Anyway, it's inappropriate for you, a civil servant, to get involved in this muddy water."

Chen Jingming pursed his lips, his jade-like face was folded in the silver fox fur, his voice was suddenly a little hoarse. "I don't care about the affairs of the court, and I don't want to care about them. Only your safety, honor and disgrace, Lord Hou, is the only thing I can never forget."

"... Tsk," Hao Chun was a little speechless, and then said after a pause, "There's no one else around now, and you don't have to act hypocritically with Master."

"Why are you acting?" Chen Jingming was in a hurry, veins bulged on the back of his hands, almost pinching Hao Chun's fingers blue. "Master Hou, you and I are one body, you are the one who said this! You ran away in anger, shouldn't I come after you?"

When Hao Chun heard this, he became furious again. "Ha, why did Grandpa run, huh?"

Hao Chun tried his best to shake off Chen Jingming's hand, raised the tip of the black horsewhip and pointed it at the tip of Chen Jingming's nose, and cursed bitterly: "If you hadn't cheated me with drugs, you would have overwhelmed me?"

If he is not pressed, can he run?

Hao Chun swallowed the last sentence, his nose was not his nose, his eyes were not his eyes, and said bitterly: "Now that I don't want to see you anymore, why don't you run to me every time, okay? I don't want to wait for you Seeing you, don't you have any b numbers in your heart?"

Chen Jingming's face became paler, his thin lips trembled a few times, and his whole body shook slightly as if he couldn't bear it.

Hao Chun still thought it wasn't enough, so he flicked the empty whip resentfully, and the whip fell to the ground, splashing dust all over the place. "You bring the Ugul surrender documents, and I will escort Allah Khan back to the camp. After that, you will have nothing to do with Chen Da Yushi. What are you supposed to do!"

Chen Jingming was silent for ten breaths before asking him with a pale face. "Ah Chun, you want to drive me away?"

Tsk, the sound of "Ah Chun" instantly made Hao Chun get goosebumps all over his body.That guy always called him that way during the absurd night, calling him "Ah Chun" over and over again, as if possessed by a demon.

"Chen Yushi, there is one thing you must remember!" Hao Chun pointed at Chen Jingming with the tip of his whip, with a pair of thick eyebrows and raised eyebrows, his words revealed an unprecedented hostility. "First, the Lord never regarded you as the head of the family. We were just married. Do you understand the marriage?"

Chen Jingming stared at him motionless, the light in his bottomless lacquer eyes was unclear.

"Second, my surname is Hao. None of our Hao family died peacefully in bed. They have always been generals who drove the soldiers and guarded the frontiers! We were born to kill the enemy, and when we died, the whole body might be dead. We can't fall. You and I have no relatives and no reason, but it's just a pretense of giving you a marriage, and you are not a woman, so you can't leave a queen for the Hao family." Hao Chun grinned, showing two small canine teeth as usual, The smile was so cold that it was shocking. "Everything is safe now, so it's easy to say anything, but if something happens to my master at the border, you can't guard it for me, can't you? So why don't you take advantage of this once and for all to make it clear and make it clear in the future?" "You respect me a little bit, and I will pay you back a little bit. If you get married in front of His Majesty, they will naturally be a loving couple. But in private..."

Hao Chun frowned and looked at Chen Jingming, and sneered. "Privately, Chen Da Yushi, you don't want to play match-wing-matching with my young master and me anymore!"

"I didn't play," Chen Jingming said in a hoarse voice, his fingertips hanging by his side trembling slightly. "Ah Chun, I can guard too."

Hao Chun raised his eyebrows and looked at him, half-believing.

"You don't need to regard me as a member of your Hao family," Chen Jingming said again, "but since I am like you, I will naturally recognize you, and I will only recognize you until I die. If something happens to you, I will It is your widow, you... Ah Chun, you must believe me."

How do you believe it?Now that he is rich and prosperous, Chen Jingming is naturally full of nice words.He understands these sycophants in the officialdom!

Hao Chun raised his eyebrows and sneered nonchalantly. "Okay! You can act if you like, anyway, I'm not in a hurry at this moment."

"……What do you mean?"

Hao Chun gave Chen Jingming a fixed look.He is usually a careless person, but at this moment, his glance was like an explosion of lightning, and it was like riding a white horse across a rock gap, so fast that Chen Jingming was caught off guard.

It's as if something flashed by, too fast to catch.

"Ala Khan is now locked in a dark prison in the temple. After several days of starvation, he can't take it anymore. The area around Mao'er Mountain is expected, and it's in his bag." Hao Chun has already recovered that look. With a lazy look, he bared his teeth and laughed, with two sharp teeth, discussing serious matters with Chen Jingming. "However, of course, Great Censor Chen has contributed a lot! You have done a good job in this errand. In a few days, all the food and grass in each account will be counted, and you can also report it to the imperial court."

Chen Jingming raised his eyelids and stared at Hao Chun with his lacquered eyes. "Master Hou is determined to drive me away?"

Hao Chun bared his teeth and gave him a sideways glance, with no genuineness in the smile. "Hey, Chen Da Yushi, you said this over and over again, saying that the master drove you away, did the master drive you away? The Western Regions are bitter, and there will be no peach blossoms at the end of April. If you stay here, you will just blow the sand in vain. Don't delay you The errands at Yushitai."

Chen Jingming's face became even paler, and his hands that were retracted under his sleeves trembled slightly. He closed his eyes and asked with a trembling voice, "Is that why Master Hou doesn't want to see me?"

"Then say more?" Hao Chun rolled his eyes on the spot.

Chen Jingming endured it again, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and took half a step forward to force Hao Chun under the nose. "Could it be that that night... actually made Lord Hou hold such a grudge?"

hiss……!

The last thing Hao Chun likes to hear is that night.What a ridiculous night!

"Fuck you," Hao Chun stretched out his long arms slightly, and pushed Chen Jingming away suddenly, his brows and eyes became more and more hostile. "Don't mention that to me!"

Chen Jingming was pushed back by him, still unwilling to reconcile, raised his face and asked him quietly. "So what if the officer mentions it?"

"Say it again, young master, I'll kill you right now." Hao Chun's face was gloomy, and there was murderous intent in his tone.

It doesn't seem like a joke at all.

So Chen Jingming laughed dryly a few times, feeling completely hopeless from the bottom of his heart.

"Okay," Chen Jingming said slowly, his thin lips were pale, and his whole body was shaking violently. "That's...as you wish, Master Hou."

Hao Chun raised his eyebrows and sneered.

That day until the two escorted the leader of the Ugul tribe, Allah Khan, back to the camp, neither of them spoke first.More than a thousand Hu monks from Dinggu Temple escorted Hao Chun. Across the mighty crowd, Chen Jingming wanted to say a few words of his own, but he couldn't get in.

After arriving at the barracks, Chen Jingming took out the Ugul peace talks document and handed it over in front of Lu Ji.Hao Chun pushed Allah Khan out of the camp and handed it directly to the envoy sent by the Ugul tribe.

"From now on, all the area around Mao'er Mountain in southern Xinjiang belongs to Yingtian." Hao Chun stood in the hunting wind, his purple war robe flapping, his eyes seemed to be covered with severe frost. "No more crimes!"

Allah Khan staggered and was pushed in front of the Ugul envoy. Hearing this, he turned his head and poohed angrily.

Hao Chun flicked his horsewhip, and said with a sneer, "If you form an alliance with Che Shiguo again, Lord Ben doesn't mind, I'll capture you again."

Chen Jingming stood quietly on the high slope and looked down at the majestic Hao Chun. This was Lord Pingle whom he had never seen before.Hao Chun wore a silver helmet with eagle wings on his head, with a strand of red tassel fluttering in the blazing sun, making the black armor look especially cold.

It seemed that even the sun shone on Hao Chun, making him cold.

Hao Chun didn't return the account that night, nor did he return the next day, as if deliberately avoiding Chen Jingming.Chen Jingming went to look for Hao Chun in the camp again, a row of soldiers blocked him, frowning and said to him, Lord Hou has ordered that no outsiders be seen during the training period.

...Outsiders, heh!

Chen Jingming pursed his thin lips slightly, regretting that he hadn't been able to go any further in Dinggu Temple that day. He walked against the man's red-tasseled spear, walked step by step to the man's eyelids, to the bottom of his heart, even if that day was It's better to be killed by that fight than to be so close and far away.

Unfortunately, it's too late for all regrets.

**

end of the month.

Emperor Yong'an's edict traveled thousands of miles and was sent to the military camp, and Chen Jingming, the temporarily appointed food supervisor, was summoned back to Beijing.

Of course, Lu Ji, the superintendent, was eager to have this decree, and immediately recruited his cronies to urge Chen Jingming to return to Chang'an as soon as possible, and carried it out for Chen Jingming with great fanfare.Chen Jingming slept alone in the handsome tent, clear and cold, his slender fingers repeatedly rubbing the documents left by the guy on the desk.

In order to avoid him, Hao Chun even abandoned this handsome tent.If he stays any longer, he doesn't know how to break the situation.

Chen Jingming closed his eyes in pain.No matter!No matter how shamelessly he stayed in the Western Regions, it would just add to the jokes and become the talk of others after dinner.

If not go.

After returning to Chang'an, he could still watch this fellow from afar.The most important thing is that he has nothing to rely on here, even if Lu Ji really wants to take advantage of the opportunity to trap Hao Chun to death, he has no soldiers to use.

He will never live such a powerless life again!

Chen Jingming suddenly opened his eyes, and a cold light suddenly appeared in his lacquered eyes.Yes, he must return to Chang'an!In Chang'an, he has a mentor, the countless secret case files of Yushitai, and Jiang Jiulang, the treacherous and unpredictable southern Xinjiang poison master.He needs to have a good talk with Jiang Jiulang. The secret drug "Xunchun" of Yueshi Kingdom made him perfect, but it also completely destroyed the relationship between him and Hao Chun.

What he needs is that guy's heart.

Also, it has always been to win the heart of that fellow.

Chen Jingming got up, pulled up his clothes and hurried out of the tent, and said to the patrolling soldiers waiting outside: "Quickly report to the Marquis and the Lu Jianjun, just say... I plan to return to Beijing tomorrow."

"Yes!"

**

The second day, the first day of February 16 in Yongan.

Chen Jingming returned to Beijing according to the order, and he waited in Guangu for three full hours. The wind and sand on the edge of the desert was so strong that his face ached.But he still sat on the horseback, turning his head to look at the way he came from time and time again.

He hoped that Hao Chun would come and see him off.

But Hao Chun never came.

According to the soldiers who came back yesterday to send a message, just three days before Chen Jingming left the Western Regions, Lu Ji sent Hao Chun to the enemy camp to call for battle, and Hao Chun had to go.At Maoshi yesterday, Hao Chun was sent to raid Che Shiguo again, and he didn't leave a single word for Chen Jingming before leaving.

Whether Hao Chun knew he was leaving today, Chen Jingming was not sure.

In February, there is snow in the Tianshan Mountains, and there are no flowers, only cold.

Chen Jingming gathered up the silver fox fur that was given by the palace again, and breathed white beyond the Great Wall, even this feeling of confusion had nowhere to go.

"Master Chen, shall we go?"

Chen Jingming came back to his senses, looked at the team escorting him with the army, lowered his eyelids and laughed self-deprecatingly. "Let's go to Chang'an!"

**

At the beginning of March in the 16th year of Yong'an, Chen Jingming arrived in Chang'an city in a meandering way, and entered the palace to report on the food supervision.

Da Sikong Cheng Huaijing, who was sitting high above him, interrupted him. "Han Jun is going, have you ever had fun with that Lord Pingle? Okay?"

Chen Jingming was momentarily at a loss for words, and raised his head, his jade-like face flushed slightly.

Cheng Huaijing smiled knowingly, leaned forward slightly, and waved at him again. "It's not too late to talk about these official affairs. Your Majesty and someone who is looking forward to... are you going this time, will your wish come true?"

Chen Jingming's face turned redder, his thin lips parted slightly, and he said shyly after a while: "The secret medicine of Yueshi Kingdom is very effective."

"That's what you wish for?" Cheng Huaijing smiled narrowly, her red lips parted slightly, she looked at him with a half-smile, and joked, "How, how does it taste?"

Chen Jingming: ...

How should he answer this question?How to answer, it seems inappropriate!

"Student... Thank you, teacher, for fulfilling the mission with Lord Moon." Chen Jingming buried his face again, his long and curly eyelashes drooping slightly, blocking all the thoughts in his heart, but his words were still slightly bitter. "I'm just afraid that the student will completely offend that Lord Pingle this time."

"Oh? Isn't it because of him that you asked for an order to go to the Western Regions to supervise food? Why did you offend him?"

"Student... probably failed to fulfill Lord Pingle's wish, and accidentally became his husband." Chen Jingming became more and more embarrassed, his eyelids seemed to be burning, and there was a hesitation in his words that could not be missed. "Ping Lehou seems to hate the students now."

"Well, thanks to your self-knowledge!" Cheng Huaijing nodded slightly with a smile, her thin red lips curled up, and she picked up the document on the desk with her fingertips and handed it to Chen Jingming to read. "Ping Lehou submitted the paper, according to my official opinion, he wrote this paper specially for you."

Chen Jingming raised his head suddenly, his lacquered eyes were unclear, and his fingertips trembled slightly when he caught the document.

Cheng Huaijing squinted at his appearance of losing his composure, smiled with thin lips, and sighed softly. "Mr. Han! Marquis Pingle and Hao Chun came to write in person, and specially greeted him, saying that... from now on, the imperial court can send anyone to put food and wine, but you are not allowed to go."
