Stirring up with the old enemy

Three days later, April 17th, [-], Yongan.

Puff.

The lake in the middle of the desert in the Western Regions was as clear as a mirror, slowly reflecting two people.The fruits on the sea-buckthorn tree growing close to Haizi are ripe and fall into the sand.

Hao Chun picked up the orange-red and half-green fruit, grinning with two small white canine teeth. "What kind of fruit is this?"

Chen Jingming stared at it for a moment, shook his head, pushed the wooden chair and walked forward in silence.

The wooden chair dragged on the sand at a speed no slower than a horse.But Hao Chun sat on the wooden chair, his legs were swollen and he couldn't move, and the poison on his shoulders hurt like bone-eating pain. He was full of depression, but he couldn't attack.

You can only play with that fruit.When squeezed flat, the peel exploded, and the juice leaked from between the fingers.

Hao Chun paused, put the fruit to his mouth and wanted to eat it.

"Don't eat!" Chen Jingming hurriedly lowered his head and knocked off his hand, his long eyebrows frowned. "I don't know what the fruit grows in this desert sea. If it is poisonous..."

"Even if it's poisonous," Hao Chun lazily interrupted him with a laugh. "It can't be worse than it is now."

Hao Chun beat his immobile leg and pulled a muscle on his left shoulder. It hurt so badly, but he was used to pretending!At the moment, he pretended to be indifferent again, grinning and said: "Master, I am already a useless person, even if I am lucky, I will not die, can I still be the same as before?"

Chen Jingming's drooping long eyelashes trembled slightly, his thin lips were pale, and he reluctantly pursed his lips and replied: "The student knows a strange person, maybe... he can heal Lord Hou's leg."

Hao Chun raised his eyes and looked at him burningly.There is an indescribable emotion in the eyes of a pair of Qiushui Danfeng.

"So what?"

Hao Chun rarely smiled lonely, his two small canine teeth were still white and pointed, his eyebrows were still beautiful, but he seemed to have lost his former air.He also became very slow in speaking, the sun shone on his dry long hair that was gradually losing its luster, and there was a lazy indifference in Danfeng's eyes. "Chen Da Yushi, I am a useless person now. Now, maybe the whole city of Chang'an has become my master. I am a dead man! I don't have any wealth and glory to give you. Even if you get back to Chang'an by chance, it's just a crime." Minister, the life you picked up on the battlefield will still have to be confessed to Caishikou when you arrive in Chang'an City. Why are you still here?"

"...The reason why I stayed here," Chen Jingming took a long breath, trying to hold back his temper so as not to be pissed to death on the spot. "Of course it's not for your honor as Lord Pingle, and of course it's not for your wealth and glory!"

"Oh?" Hao Chun didn't say whether he believed it or not, he just grinned, and his words were usually heartless. "Then what are you trying to do, Chen Da Yushi?"

The wooden chair was suddenly turned.

Chen Jingming leaned over and stared at Hao Chun eye to eye, staring fiercely at Hao Chun word by word, as if each word was popping out between his teeth, and asked: "What is it that I am drawing?" , don't you understand until now...Hou Ye?"

Chen Jingming was born with a pair of lacquer eyes.

There is no bottom in the pupils, like an abyss.

Hao Chun hastily averted his gaze, rolled his Adam's apple, and said with a dry smile, "Who the hell knows what you're plotting!"

Chen Jingming leaned over and stared at him for a long time, from Hao Chun's mandible scratched by the sword to the original snow-like skin under his clothes.This guy originally had an excellent skin, and his tentacles were smooth.The reason why he was so crazy that night was partly because of Yuezhi Kingdom's secret drug "Xunchun", and partly because this guy was enough to make people crazy?This fellow, this fellow was once so nasty that it would drive all the men in this world crazy!This guy used to wrap his skin and flesh like snow fat, trembling gently around him under the candlelight...but now this guy is completely bruised and bruised.

"Master Hou... Ah Chun," Chen Jingming raised his hand to caress Hao Chun's cheek, his voice was so hoarse that it was about to ooze blood. "What I have dreamed of in my life is nothing but you."

Hao Chun sneered, still hunched his neck awkwardly and didn't look at him, but his words became more rambunctious. "Master Tu can give you some fun? But now my legs are crippled, and my body is full of bumps and holes. You want to enjoy it, and I can't resist now, Mr. Chen. But isn't it disgusting for you to crush a crippled man, Chen Yushi?"

Hao Chun paused, still feeling that it wasn't enough, and grinned viciously. "In the middle of the night, you hugged a person with scars all over his body. When you touched it, there might be blood stains and yellow pus. Don't you feel sick?"

Chen Jingming then knelt down on one knee, still gently stroking Hao Chun's gorgeous face with his slender fingers, his voice trembling. "How can those blood stains and yellow pus make me sick? The Buddha said that all beautiful women are just dry bones, Ah Chun... only you are different."

"what's the difference?"

Hao Chun turned his head suddenly, his two small canine teeth were white and pointed, and he was about to laugh at Chen Jingming wantonly.Only to find that this guy was crying!

Two lines of tears hung in Chen Jingming's eyes. The dark circles under his eyes ruined this guy's image of a gentleman. He didn't eat or drink much for three days, and his thin lips were so dry and cracked.

This was by no means Chen Jingming's best look. In fact, Hao Chun had never seen Chen Jingming so embarrassed.

Even in the past when he was drowned in Fulong Temple in the outskirts of Chang'an, this guy was always well-dressed, his old moon-white monk robes were washed clean, his long pine and black hair was combed smoothly, hanging down from this guy's shoulders. When it comes down, when the wind blows, it will fall heavily, just like the top-quality silk and satin tribute in the palace.

"...Why are you crying?" Hao Chun choked, and after a long time, he forced a hoarse laugh. "I should cry if I want to cry."

Chen Jingming quietly hugged him into his arms, their mouths were so tight that they could hear each other's breath.The heartbeat in Chen Jingming's chest was not as lively and intense as Hao Chun's, but it was also chaotic, pounding, chaotic like the chaos in the war three days ago.

"Hou Ye must be strong in his life," Chen Jingming also hoarse, and smiled, tears buried in Hao Chun's purple silk clothes. "So, I cry for Master Hou."

Hao Chun was startled, this guy suddenly showed weakness, but he didn't know what to say.

"I will never go back to Chang'an!" Chen Jingming's voice became even hoarse, rustling, and every word was as rough as the ubiquitous gravel in this desert. "Master Hou, do you want to go back to Chang'an?"

Hao Chun looked away from him, looked up at the scorching sun in the desert, thought for a while, grinned and said, "Go back if you can. It doesn't matter if you can't. After all, my time is short... ..."

"No, Lord Hou and Tiandi Changchun! How can there be so little time?" Chen Jingming interrupted hastily, raised his head, held Hao Chun's face in both hands, and said harshly, almost piously: "I will never let Hou The Lord died here! In a few days, when we cross this desert, we will be able to find Jiang Jiulang, the southern border poison master, and he will definitely be able to cure Lord Hou's poison!"

"Jiang Jiulang?" Hao Chun answered casually, still looking up, as if he had thought of something, but he didn't. "Ah, I know that person. Is he Da Sikong's cousin?"

"No matter what his identity is!" Chen Jingming held his face in his hands, and smiled with tears in his lips. "In short, he will cure the poison that Lord Hou has suffered."

"Really so powerful?"

"Well, Jiang Jiulang is indeed very powerful."

"The misty smoke you put outside Hangu Pass that day...was it also you who asked Jiang Jiulang to come?"

"……Um."

It took Chen Jingming three days to explain to Hao Chun.Three days ago, they were trapped in a narrow passage in the northeast corner of Hangu Pass. At that time, it was already a dead end, but Chen Jingming took out a bag of medicine powder from his arms, and threw it out suddenly, then hugged him tightly in his arms and beat him continuously. Rolled a few times.They rolled down the cliff, Hao Chun almost thought that he had gone crazy and wanted to die with him, but there was a stream of water under the cliff.

Probably a water stream...

Hao Chun only heard the sound of water in a trance at that time, and his heavy body fell into the water, and then he was dragged forward to swim.

Put me down... Hao Chun wasn't very conscious at the time, but he still remembered struggling and saying to that guy, Chen Jingming, let's go, it's too dangerous here, you don't want to die with your master.

Whether Chen Jingming answered him at that time, he didn't know.Maybe he answered, but he couldn't hear clearly after being poisoned.

"The misty smoke was given by Jiang Jiulang," Chen Jingming paused, thinking of something, his thin lips curled up slightly, and he raised his face from his shoulders, staring at him with lacquer eyes. "If Jiang Jiulang hadn't given that pack of smoke, you and I wouldn't have been able to escape. Now that I think about it, maybe everything has been decided in the dark."

"There is a certain number of farts!" Hao Chun grinned, grinning, glanced down at Feng'er, and then raised his head and smiled at Chen Jingming.With a lift of his hand, he uncovered half of the robe that barely covered his legs.

The eyes of the two people coincided, and they both looked at Hao Chun's swollen and blackened legs.

"Look," Hao Chun still smiled casually, reached out to hold Chen Jingming's hand, and took him to touch it together. "Grandpa's two legs are completely useless, and I don't even know it hurts if I pinch them. Is this a fucking fixed number?"

"...That's because it's because I'm late."

Chen Jingming was grabbed by his arm, and Shulang's jade fingertips pressed against Hao Chun's purple-black swollen skin, black and white were particularly distinct.

So Chen Jingming lowered his eyes and said to Hao Chun in a hoarse voice guiltily: "Ah Chun, I should have left earlier."

Hao Chun stiffened his neck awkwardly, and refused to say another word of tenderness.He has always been proud of everything, he bent over and surrendered, but now he is in trouble, the arrow wounded poisonously, and his whole body is swollen.He couldn't and didn't dare to think about what to do with the rest of his life.

If you can't think about it, just stop thinking about it.

"What's the point of saying this?" Hao Chun grinned sarcastically, revealing two small canine teeth, and smiled very coldly. "You and I just had a good night. Chen Jingming, you don't have to feel guilty, let alone pretend to be a good person!"

Chen Jingming looked at him quietly, parted his lips a few times, and finally forced a smile, gently covered him with his robe, straightened him in the wooden chair, stood up and continued to push him forward.

"Although this desert is a bit desolate, the scenery is still good." Chen Jingming said softly, "At the end of April, there should be peach blossoms blooming on the edge of the desert."

Hao Chun followed his words and looked forward, for a long time, he sneered lazily. "After the desert, it's another desert. Haizi here is the only one. Don't expect to meet Jiangnan beyond the Great Wall if you go out."

"Jiangnan beyond the Great Wall..."

Chen Jingming nodded with a smile, and kept pushing Hao Chun forward.The shadows of the two people were dragged extremely long under the sun, and it was almost sunset.After sunset, it is extremely cold here, and a safe place to light a fire must be found.

When applying at night, Chen Jingming really lit a fire at the edge of the desert, and picked up the topic of the day again.

"If Lord Hou really wants a Jiangnan outside the Great Wall, it will be very easy."

The smoke from the bonfire made Hao Chun drowsy. He reclined in the wooden chair, covered with Chen Jingming and his silver fox fur, warm all over his body. It hurts everywhere, and a bonfire under the full moon in this desert must be beautiful!Hao Chun opened his eyes with difficulty. It was rare that he didn't choke with Chen Jingming this time, but his tone was still casual, and he asked with a bit of disdain: "Oh? What's the easy way?"

Chen Jingming threw another handful of dried seabuckthorn jujube branches into the fire, and slightly raised his head and laughed. "The Mao'er Mountain that the Ugul people promised to Lord Hou has a beautiful scenery. It is the best place to graze horses and cattle."

Hao Chun hissed and gasped. "You mean..."

"I mean," Chen Jingming looked back at him, the bonfire illuminated Chen Jingming's long brows and beautiful eyes like cold jade, his thin lips slightly curled up, and the wind of his words contained murderous intent. "Since the land was earned by you, Lord Hou, it should belong to you, Lord Hou."

Hao Chun was stunned for ten breaths, his breath was unsteady, and it was very difficult for him to raise the corners of his mouth to fake a smile. "Are you urging my young master to rebel?"

"It's yours, of course it's yours. How can it be called a rebellion?" Chen Jingming looked calm, and then set fire to bake the naan bread in his bag, and said in a low voice: "Master Hou is always kind and soft-hearted, but now it's different from the past. Now, Lord Hou, you have been murdered and are homeless, and you still have the crime of delaying the war opportunity on your head. If you don't plot for yourself, the world is so big, and there will be no place for you, Lord Hou. .”

Hao Chun held his breath for a moment, raised his eyebrows, and said with a strange smile: "Oh? I don't know where to start with Chen Da Yushi's words?"

He pretended to be with Chen Jingming, but Chen Jingming ignored him.Chen Jingming has already learned how to be good!This guy can never tell the truth, if you want to know the truth, you have to prick it with the tip of a needle.

Chen Jingming was reluctant to hurt him, so he had to soften his tone as much as possible, pretending that this was just an ordinary topic. "Master Hou also said in the daytime that now, Master Hou, you are waiting for a crime. When you arrive in Chang'an, it will only delay the life of the fighter jet to escort Caishikou. But I don't want you to die. Not only do I not want to, but I can't just watch you Go to hell! So... these few days, my subordinates have plotted a thing or two for you, Lord Hou."

Such and such, such and such.

Hao Chun squinted his eyes and listened quietly to Chen Jingming, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, but there was no wave in those bright Danfeng eyes.

Zuo was merely persuading him to rebel.

It is the same as what Xu Changping persuaded him in Dinggu Temple.

"You don't need to say any more," Hao Chun lazily interrupted Chen Jingming, leaned in the wooden chair with difficulty, raised his eyebrows and sneered, "Who made this idea with you? Go to the southern border to seal the frontiers? It's not like you Chen Da Yushi can say it!"

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Chen Jingming simply dropped the dead branch that he had been holding in his hand to point out the country just now, and walked up to him and squatted down with the hot naan bread in his mouth. "Ah Chun, I don't need to be an official of Yingtian."

Hao Chun raised a pair of jucui thick eyebrows in surprise, opened his mouth haha, and just about to give a strange laugh, a piece of hot naan was stuffed into his mouth.

"You don't have to believe me." Chen Jingming slowly tore apart the naan bread to feed him, and then said flatly: "I also know your temperament, you are a person who doesn't believe anyone."

Hao Chun stretched his neck and hiccupped because of choking.

Chen Jingming hurriedly raised his hand to pat him on the back, saw that Hao Chun's mouth was still stained with naan crumbs, and wiped his mouth again.

The movements are extremely gentle, even three points more gentle than Mi'er, the maid who beats the child and serves Hao Chun!

Hao Chun snorted coldly, inexplicably feeling a little uncomfortable. "Chen Da Yushi?"

"Ah."

"Master, I really don't know if I can last until that day." Hao Chun rarely grinned, and seemed to be a bit serious. "Look at my injuries and this poison..."

"I'll find someone to cure you." Chen Jingming said with great certainty, his voice was clear and his face was hidden by the bonfire in the dark night. "Master Hou, you just need to say whether you want to go to southern Xinjiang or not."

"...Southern Xinjiang," Hao Chun licked his lips and let out a long sigh.After this sentence, there was no more movement.

After about half a cup of tea, Chen Jingming still couldn't wait for the last half of Hao Chun's sentence, which was about southern Xinjiang, what did this guy think?

Chen Jingming looked up, but only saw Hao Chun asleep.

"Master Hou?"

His answer was a long breath.

Chen Jingming couldn't help curling his thin lips slightly, got up slowly, carried Hao Chun down from the wooden chair, and placed him on the dry place next to the campfire.The silver fox fur was spread under Hao Chun's body, and the snow-white fox fur around his neck supported Hao Chun's sharpened chin.

Since he was poisoned, Hao Chun sometimes swelled all over his body, sometimes called him cold, and occasionally called him sweating profusely, saying he was thirsty.

Chen Jingming knew that these were not good things.The only good thing is that Che Shiguo's poison did not seal his throat at the sight of blood. He probably originally wanted to capture Hao Chun alive and torture him after returning to the camp. It's not enough to urge the soul to die.

"...Master Hou," Chen Jingming kissed the corner of Hao Chun's lips softly and tenderly, and sighed softly: "Just rest assured, even if everyone in this world abandons you, I will not abandon you. It's your fault Glory, I will take it back for you one by one!"

Hao Chun was a little agitated by his kiss, and muttered something in his sleep. "Hmph, what the hell..."

In the desert, the moon is as round as a mountain.Chen Jingming rekindled the bonfire under the moon, and stayed by Hao Chun's side stupidly, never closing his eyes for a moment.

**

Seven days later, they finally left the desert.

Chen Jingming couldn't find Jiang Jiulang, the poison master from southern Xinjiang, so he had to rent a house in the town first, and settle Hao Chun first.The town traveled from south to north, and there were news everywhere, so Chen Jingming went to inquire about the news every day at dawn.Occasionally, he would bring some medicine back, saying that he bought it from a mysterious black market merchant in the Western Regions, and it was specially used to treat the poison of Che Shiguo.

Although, in fact, the two of them couldn't even understand the name of the poison, but Chen Jingming's words were very certain, so Hao Chun reluctantly... tried a few times.

Oral intake, steaming, and medicinal bath, every time Chen Jingming served him obediently.

After another half a month like this, I don't know if those secret recipes really have miraculous effects, or the poisonous nature has penetrated into the bone marrow. Hao Chun found that his legs were no longer swollen, and after injecting black blood a few times, his whole body was also swollen. It doesn't hurt like that.

"Congratulations to Lord Hou, congratulations to Lord Hou!" Chen Jingming smiled, his tone very much like that unreliable old servant in Pinglehou's mansion in Chang'an City. "The poison is gone!"

Hao Chun didn't say whether he believed it or not, he just bared his teeth in the wooden chair in the yard. Under the sun, he lost a lot of weight, almost out of shape.But today that guy Chen Jingming mixed some wine for him, and he also ate meat for lunch, so he was barely in a good mood.

Hao Chun didn't intend to choke Chen Jingming.

So he followed him and said something casually. "Well, the poison is gone."

"Master Hou," Chen Jingming was as happy as a child, with a smile on his face. "In a few days, you'll be fine! Maybe even this wooden chair can be removed."

Hao Chun bared his teeth and squinted at Chen Jingming under the sun.

In front of him, the handsome young man who was once like jade was wrapped in an old cotton-padded coat, and his long hair was tied behind his head. When he read by candlelight at night, he would use a wooden branch to hold it in place.Chen Jingming traveled around to inquire about news during the day, and copied scriptures for others at night, exchanging coins for coins.He used the official robe and silver fox fur to mix wine and medicine, and now he has returned to the poor scholar he used to be.

Well, this guy always finds ways to please him.After these days, Hao Chun can somewhat see that when there is no money or rice, this guy always pawns his own things for money, and has never moved his idea of ​​​​his red-tasseled gun.

Today Chen Jingming is also full of travel and dust, with a snow-white long scarf drooping on his shoulders, and the corners are slightly stained with yellow sand, probably visiting the border between the town and the desert.

Only in that place bordering the desert, there is a secret room called Jianghu Baoqian.

The news about Anliao is very expensive, and I don't know what Chen Jingming took in exchange for this trip.He pawned jade hairpins, brocade robes, fox furs, jade belts, and even jade wats from the palace hall in exchange for rice and medicine.What other valuable things can this guy exchange for?It can't be to risk your life to bet on Anliao's game!

"Actually, my young master's red-tasseled gun is quite valuable." Hao Chun grinned and tried him casually. "Anyway, I'm a useless person now. I don't think I'll have the chance to dance in this life. Why don't you use it to change into a fur coat? It's going to be quite cold in the morning and evening."

It's quite cold.

At night, the town outside the Great Wall is so cold that it makes people shiver.Chen Jingming took into account that he was a semi-disabled person, so he was wrapped in all the cotton mattresses at night and hugged him to sleep.Every time Hao Chun was covered in sweat, he was woken up in the middle of the night by pain, and just opened his eyes when he saw Chen Jingming kicked to the foot of the bed at some point.In the middle of the night, the guy was so tired that he didn't feel anything, just curled up and slept outside the bed.

As a result, the guy had a stuffy nose and a heavy head the next day, and he had a severe fever, but he still struggled to go out to find medicine for him at noon.

Comparing his heart to his heart, Hao Chun now feels that his old Hao family's red tasseled gun is not so important.The two of them had almost finished pawning everything they should have, except for his red-tasseled gun and a black-mouthed gold dagger hidden in his boot.The dagger can be used to guard against thieves and wolves, but the red tasseled gun is left... probably useless.

"That red-tasseled gun is very useful!" Chen Jingming pressed his hand and smiled. "When Lord Hou goes to the southern border to become the king, that gun will not be able to make contributions with you, Lord Hou!"

Hao Chun stared blankly at Chen Jingming, and after a while, forced a smile. "Haven't you ever thought that my master might not want to go to southern Xinjiang at all?"

Chen Jingming leaned closer and kissed him. "I thought about it."

"...Um, so?"

"However, Lord Hou can't help it." Chen Jingming laughed more and more cunningly, and the laughter was soft and seductive. "Master Hou, I found Jiang Jiulang's informant who stayed in this town today, and that person said... so you have already planned your escape route, Lord Hou, and the one named Bai Sheng has already gone to southern Xinjiang first. Just take the document written by you, Lord Hou, and call the people of southern Xinjiang to gather near Maoer Mountain, and they are building a city and palace for you, Lord Hou!"

The blazing sun shone warmly on his body, but Hao Chun fell into an ice cave in an instant.

Chen Jingming still lay on his body and kissed him lightly. Occasionally, the tail of long hair like pine ink smoke brushed Hao Chun's cheek.Chen Jingming's jade-like face was half hidden in the snow-white scarf, his long eyebrows were straight, and his thin lips were still good at kissing people.

But... it was discovered.

Chen Jingming discovered his plot with Xu Changping and Bai Sheng in Dinggu Temple.

Yushitai used to like to pick the braids of court officials the most, and Chen Jingming was a leader in Yushitai, and almost everyone in Chang'an City should know what he knew.Oh no, it's the most honorable couple in the Nine Dragon Palace...you must have known about it a long time ago.He knew that Hao Chun had planned to retreat, and he knew that Hao Chun detained the son of Allahhan, the leader of the Ugul tribe, and in exchange forced Allahhan to allow him to build a city in the Maoershan area of ​​southern Xinjiang.

He is unjust and unfaithful.

He... was not wronged to "die".
