Stirring up with the old enemy

In the 17th year of Yong'an, the third day of June.

The sedges in the frontier are gradually blown green by the cold wind, and the flowers on the edge of Haizi are gradually greened, and the golden sedge spreads in sight, seemingly endless.Hao Chun opened the curtain of the carriage, smiled at Chen Jingming, who was straddling the railing of the carriage, and was struggling to learn how to drive a chariot, and said loudly: "Hey! Can you do it? No, let's change my master, although my legs and feet are not convenient. , but it’s more than enough to drive a car.”

Startled by his sound, Chen Jingming just turned his head to look at him, his thin lips parted slightly, and before he could speak, the yellow and white motley horse that was driving suddenly pouted its hooves, raised its head and let out a long neigh.The carriage wobbled and nearly tipped over.

"Ah, horse, you, you, you, you, don't play your temper." Chen Jingming turned his head in a hurry, grabbed the noose with both hands, hurriedly, still trying to reason with the horse. "Go for a while, just for a while, and I will let you rest when you reach the Boundary Monument Valley."

"Hahahahaha!"

Hao Chun mercilessly mocked Chen Jingming.He had never seen this side of Chen Jingming before, he just thought it was funny, and deliberately teased him again. "Hey, this horse can't understand human language, what it wants is you to feed it."

Chen Jingming's long pine and ink-smoke hair was disheveled, his temple hair fell down, and his jade-like face was dripping with sweat.Hearing Hao Chun's move, he immediately believed it was true, and hurriedly coaxed the horse. "Good horse, you, you put down your hooves first... ah!"

Of course, that horse didn't want to be fed grass, let alone rest in Boundary Monument Valley. It pawed its hooves and flicked it around frantically. The horse's tail swept across Chen Jingming's jade-like handsome face, and pulled out a few hairs. bloodstains.

"Hahahaha!" Hao Chun sat in the car and was knocked upside down, but laughed to himself, and laughed loudly in his mouth: "Ah Chen Jingming, you idiot, you believe everything I say, you feed it grass, What about the grass? You are a fool..."

Hao Chun's ridicule didn't stop, the variegated horse became more and more frenzied, suddenly pulled the rein and jumped a lot forward, and the carriage was on the verge of falling apart while swinging left and right.With a bang, the miscellaneous horse lowered its head and bumped into the tree in front of it, which was full of five or six people hugging each other.

Ping and bang, the already crumbling carriage fell apart under the huge impact. Hao Chun rolled out of the car with his legs still caught in the wooden chair.

Chen Jingming was also thrown from the railing of the car and rolled over several times in a row, looking for Hao Chun everywhere as soon as he raised his head.

"Ah Chun? Ah Chun, you, are you not injured?"

Hao Chun's forehead was scratched with a layer of oily skin. The most terrible thing is that he is now stuck in the wooden chair and cannot move. turf.

"Bah, bah, bah," Hao Chun spat out the grass clippings and soil in his mouth, raised his thick eyebrows impatiently, and shouted strangely: "It's useless to scream! You should hurry up and help me turn over ah!"

Before Chen Jingming had time to slap the dirt on his body, he hurriedly ran to Hao Chun and squatted down, and tried his best to lift the wooden chair. Boom, he helped Hao Chun turn over, and finally he was able to put his head on his head.

"Phew!" Hao Chun let out a breath of joy, squinting his eyes slightly, and laughed, "I told you to replace me with the young master. Look, that horse..."

Hao Chun's words stopped abruptly.

The eyes of both of them turned to the manic motley horse in unison.The horse's head hit a tree, and now it was injured and lying on the ground, neighing mournfully.

Hao Chun was startled, and then he couldn't help laughing. When he was about to laugh, he turned his head and saw Chen Jingming's disheveled hair, which made it even more funny.

"Hahahaha, you are a big fool! Stupid! Stupid..."

Chen Jingming leaned over and hugged his head, kissed him lightly, and when the guy's face flushed red, he asked him with a low smile. "Don't you feel happy for Hanhan'er?"

"Hiss..." An exclamation leaked from between Hao Chun's lips, with a crystal silver thread wrapped around it.

Chen Jingming wiped the bright silver line with his fingers, squinted his eyes under the sun, and smiled quietly. "It turns out that Hou Ye is very happy!"

These days, to be exact, since the two of them confessed their hearts in mid-April, the two have been in love with each other.Every day during the day, Chen Jingming waited on him to wash up and eat, and at night, he sneaked into the bed and coaxed him several times.I don't know if it's because the secret drug "Xunchun" of the royal family of the Yuezhi Kingdom really has miraculous effects, as long as Chen Jingming teases it, Hao Chun's whole body will be numb and clamoring for it everywhere.

After being asked for several times like this, Hao Chun didn't move any more. When it was dark, if Chen Jingming hadn't sneaked in, he would have to moan and take the initiative to recruit Chen Jingming.

One to two to go, love for a long time.

Hao Chun was also getting hot all over from being provoked by Chen Jingming, but he still had to keep his face as tight as possible, snorted, and said mockingly: "You are just a stud, and Zhenri is thinking about that in his head! Hey, I said How did you get the first prize? Don’t cheat, right?”

Chen Jingming forcibly held back the swelling of his lower head, his thin lips were slightly hooked, and the ends of his eyes were slightly red. "If I hadn't been the number one scholar, would I be able to mess with you, Lord Hou?"

... Tsk, that's right.

Ah no!Hao Chun suddenly recalled the past ten years in Yong'an, and couldn't help screaming: "Fart! I fell in love with you when you lived in the monk's temple!"

Hao Chun couldn't help boasting as he spoke, with thick eyebrows and high eyebrows, he pointed his finger back exaggeratedly at the tip of his nose. "Why don't you say that I have a good eye! When you were begging for food at Fulong Temple, I fell in love with you, but who made you pretend to be so cute! Look, I am not that kind A picky person who dislikes the poor and loves the rich, young master, I fell in love with you at first sight, then, it was you."

Chen Jingming was silent for a while, and looked at him with raised eyebrows. "At that time... Lord Hou, are you serious?"

Of course, it can't be regarded as completely serious, but it can't be said that it is not serious.At least Hao Chun can't recognize it!He immediately raised his eyebrows and let out a strange cry, his words getting louder and louder. "Hehe, Chen Jingming, aren't you? How did I treat you in Yong'an ten years in Fulong Temple, do you still have to tell me? Don't you have eyes?"

"At that time," Chen Jingming quietly lowered his eyelids, his thin lips slightly curled up, a half-smile. "Master Hou will ask me to fetch water for you to take a bath as soon as we meet."

Hao Chun choked for a moment, then groaned and retorted. "Then I also promised you incense money!"

"Did you give it?"

"what?"

"Incense money, did you give it to Lord Hou at that time?"

"...Well, that," Hao Chun was stopped by him for a while, he hesitated and refused to admit it, and then he and Chen Jingming got angry and rode back to Chang'an in the rain all night.He really couldn't remember whether the incense money was paid or not.

When Hao Chun quarreled, he never loses when he loses. He tried his best to muster up the courage and choked back. "Master, did I lose the incense money at that time? Don't you know how to ask that bald monk, Ji Yang?!"

There was a slight smile in Chen Jingming's eyes, and he said deliberately: "How did Hou know that I didn't ask? But the abbot said..."

"Believe him!" Hao Chun's heart was beeping, he interrupted him, and said harshly: "Anyway, I fell in love with you at the first sight that day! It's you, hehe!"

When Hao Chun was humming, his eyes were turned upwards, the tip of his nose was wrinkled, and his pale and thin face became more bloody during this time.

Looks beautiful and is so... delicious!

Chen Jingming finally couldn't hold back, and threw him to the ground on the spot, biting the annoying man's lip lightly with hatred and pity, and climbing all the way down.

Hao Chun asked him to get out of the wooden chair, and lay sprawled on the lush green grass in midsummer. He didn't know where to put his hands and feet, and howled dryly, "Hey! Chen Jingming, I'm warning you! You don't want to go anywhere. Sao, ah... woo woo... Damn... Fuck!"

The fact is that Hao Chun is absolutely unable to move.The whole person was paralyzed on the ground, and he didn't know how many times he was turned over, and he didn't know how many times he was done. In the end, he only saw a large snow-white light in a daze.

The rays of light descended from the sky in large swaths, piercing Hao Chun's eyes with tears and the corners of his lips drooling.

"Woooooh, Chen Jingming, you...animal."

Satisfied, the "beast" turned him over again, until he was in the twilight under the sun, and still leaned over to attack.

"Achun, Ahchun..."

With a sound, the soul is mesmerized and ecstasy.

As for the motley horse that crashed into a tree for no reason?who knows!Who is happy to take care of that!Lang Yushi, a young man with disheveled hair and a face as cold as jade, is busy being another "beast" of Lord Meihou.

**

After another half a month, the two of them left behind the Great Wall in early July.The motley horse was hit and half disabled, and now it is really honest, dragging the heavy carriage and moving forward.Hao Chun was sitting in the carriage, almost half disabled by Chen Jingming, squinting his eyes to catch up on sleep.

When I arrived at the Yellow River that day, the sound of the water woke up Hao Chun who was drowsy.

"Hehe, you can do it!" Hao Chun opened the curtain and yelled at the "beast" in front, finding faults with noses not noses and eyes not eyes. "Are you really planning to take my young master and me back to Chang'an?"

Chen Jingming turned his head with a calm expression. "It was said by Hou Ye himself that he must go to Chang'an City to return to his command first, and tell the emperor that the failure of the expedition to the Western Regions was actually due to the selfishness of the supervisor Lu Ji. Slowly report to the emperor, saying that you are not playing for the new emperor of Yingtian, you have to go to the southern border to have fun by yourself, and ask the emperor for permission."

Chen Jingming said "Hou Ye said" in one breath, and the poor Pingle Hou Ye Hao Chun was speechless.After a while, I choked out a sentence. "...Damn you!"

Chen Jingming turned his head, turning a deaf ear to the cursing in the car.If you look carefully, you can still find that the corners of his lips are slightly hooked, and he is smiling triumphantly.

Five days later, the two reached the gravel beach of the Yellow River.

When they arrived at the gravel beach, it was already dusk, and crows flew by in groups, and it seemed that even the last afterglow of the setting sun was about to disappear in the drowsy world.Chen Jingming stopped the carriage and waited for Hao Chun to come down to eat and pee. Hao Chun groaned a few times and let him go.

Chen Jingming suddenly gasped, lifted his cloth robe, and walked quickly to the gravel beach, his shadow was slanted in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Being left behind, Hao Chun hummed a few times in a particularly unhappy manner, raised two juicy thick eyebrows, and yelled strangely: "Hey, what are you doing?"

Chen Jingming turned his head when he heard the sound, and was silent for a while before answering: "There is a monument here."

"Isn't it normal that there are dead people in the barren mountains?" Hao Chun sneered, poked a piece of dried yak meat with a dagger, and groaned again. "You have never fought a battle. If you get to the front of the battle, there will be no place to bury the dead! From now on, every Qingming Festival will come and sweep the sacrificial wine for him."

"This monument has been buried for a long time."

Chen Jingming leaned over and carefully pulled out the weeds covering the tombstone. He was slightly startled, and then carefully wiped the dust on the tombstone with his sleeve.

"Hey, are you done yet?" Hao Chun ate alone, especially boring, and couldn't help but raised his jaw to urge Chen Jingming. "Do you still want to eat?"

"...You eat first," Chen Jingming wiped the dust with all his might without turning his head, paused, and reluctantly replied. "Let me take a closer look."

Being thrown down, and dismissed with such a casual sentence, Hao Chun became more and more uncomfortable.He pushed the axle of the wooden chair, rolled forward by himself, tried his best to get close to Chen Jingming, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Who is buried here? Could it be that you recognize it? Why don't you even eat food? Don't you be..."

"I know, I don't know." Chen Jingming turned his head and interrupted him with a frown, his jade-like face was as cold as frost. "Ah Chun, have you ever heard that there was a talented scholar in my dynasty? The surname is Li in Longxi."

Hao Chun was stunned for a while, held the dagger in his hand and thought for a while, then opened his mouth and laughed. "The Li family in Longxi? I ​​remember that there was once a crazy student in the Li family in Longxi. When the emperor and the nine sons of the Lu Emperor competed for the dragon chair, the man surnamed Li joined the prince of the Lu Emperor and wholeheartedly fought against the emperor. In the end, Cheng Da Sikong was called to execute him."

Chen Jingming turned around and looked at him quietly.

Hao Chun was startled, raised his eyebrows with a dagger in his hands and shouted strangely: "Isn't it? You found out that this is actually the tomb of Li Xianchen?"

"look by youself."

Chen Jingming pushed Hao Chun to the tombstone, ignoring the dust all over his body, his Qing Lingling voice became hoarse at this moment. "Ah Chun, you... just look at these few lines."

The tombstone stands alone in the ashes of the setting sun, and half of it is entangled with weeds, making it look even more desolate.But the characters on the tombstone are extremely exquisite plum blossom seal characters. Since Li Xianchen died, there was only one person in the dynasty who could write this plum blossom seal script.

[Half-line characters are the stele of this fate

A handful of earth is your heartbroken grave

no one lives in the wilderness

Festival

Li Xianchen

Tombstoner

Chengshi Goro]

"Hiss..." Hao Chun stared at the words on the stele in shock, he could recognize all of them, but couldn't believe it. "This, this is...?"

"This is the stele carved by the teacher himself." Chen Jingming answered for him what he didn't dare to say, his long eyebrows drooped slightly, his eyebrows and eyes were lowered, and he sighed quietly. "It turns out that the old master of the Li family in Longxi... had a friendship with his mentor."

"This is no ordinary friendship!" Hao Chun exclaimed strangely, "Establish the monument by yourself? Does the emperor in Chang'an know about this?"

I'm afraid, I don't know.

Chen Jingming looked at Hao Chun quietly, with deep meaning in his lacquered eyes. "Achun, before the emperor entered the Nine Dragon Palace in Chang'an, he was with his teacher at Tongguan in the Qinling Mountains. At that time, the emperor personally captured the old owner of the Li family. The death of Li Xianchen... is said to be thrown into the Yellow River."

Emperor Yong'an Qin Su killed Li Xianchen, but Cheng Huaijing, the pillow of Emperor Yong'an, secretly erected a monument for Li Xianchen by the gravel beach of the Yellow River.The plum blossom in seal script is Li Xianchen's favorite ink dripping during his lifetime.

Anyone can understand what this means.

Hao Chun and Chen Jingming met each other's eyes, and they suddenly fell silent.Hao Chun rubbed the Wujin mouth-swallowing dagger in his hand, and sighed, which was rare. "This monument..."

"This stele is the evidence of my mentor." Chen Jingming interrupted him, raised his eyebrows, and smiled quietly. "The folks are used to making up storytelling jokes, and my mentor erected a monument with this traitor privately, which is [-]% evidence of a crime."

Hao Chun couldn't help gasping, and stared at Chen Jingming in surprise, his red phoenix eyes widened. "Chen Jingming, if you report Cheng Da Sikong, you are a bastard!"

The great Sikong Cheng Huaijing was not only Chen Jingming's mentor, but also the person who promoted him along the way.If it is said that Emperor Yong'an treated Hao Chun like his own son, then Cheng Huaijing treated Chen Jingming... that would be even worse than that!

Chen Jingming smiled, his thin lips slightly hooked. "Ah, but what is everything in front of you, Lord Marquis?"

Chen Jingming turned his head and gave Hao Chun a serious look, which made Hao Chun's heart tremble.

"Ah Chun, if you and I use this stele as a handle, what do you think will happen to the emperor? Will it..."

"Nothing will happen!" Hao Chun sternly interrupted him, sitting in the wooden chair and gasping for breath, after a long time, staring at Chen Jingming in the fading twilight, gritted his teeth and said with a sneer: "You are crazy !"

Standing in the shadows with the backlight, Chen Jingming didn't refute, but said in a low voice: "This is the evidence that the great Sikong of the current dynasty had an affair with the old master of the Li family in Longxi. Achun, you and I both understand that this means something to the emperor What are you wearing?"

Hao Chun stared straight at Chen Jingming, as if he had never recognized him for so many years.

Chen Jingming let him watch.Behind Chen Jingming is the tombstone dripping with ink, the sound of the Yellow River is roaring, and something is becoming turbulent in the twilight.Further, maybe Ying Tian's sky can be seriously overthrown.

Cheng Da Sikong is the one in Yingtian who is really in charge of the government. He can decide the life and death of the world with his hands, and he is the only real close pillow of the emperor.But it was also Cheng Da Sikong who betrayed the emperor and erected an empty monument for another person by the gravel beach of the Yellow River.The person who is tied to life, the place where the soul returns, and the tombstone is the real tie between life and death.

Cheng Da Sikong once had someone else in his heart, and this tombstone is the real proof.

Hao Chun was panting heavily, and the dagger in Wujintun's mouth that he was pinching with his fingers fell down at some point, and the only sound of the water was the sound of his heart beating.

"Destroy it! Destroy the monument Cheng Da Sikong erected for Li Xianchen." Hao Chun heard his voice drift out, empty, like a ghost in the twilight. "Chen Jingming, let no one know about this."

Chen Jingming quietly walked back to him, leaned over, and looked at him against the twilight. "Why can't people know?"

"Because... the emperor has only Cheng Da Sikong in his life." Hao Chun grinned in a daze, laughing softly. "Dijun takes Da Sikong as his life. If Dijun finds out about this, he will go crazy, right?"

Chen Jingming held down the wooden chair with his hands and was silent for a while, then suddenly he smiled. "So that's what we can hold on to."

What has never been recorded in Yingtian's annals is that in the winter of the first year of Yong'an, Cheng Huaijing once wore a silver seal and green ribbon, rode a horse across Tongguan, and did a very secret thing in private.Cheng Huaijing was going to promise at the beginning, and signed an agreement with Beidi Zhuman without war for a hundred years, as well as the detailed rules of horse trade.That year, Cheng Huaijing, who had not yet become Yingtian.chao's Da Sikong, was not only a minister of Yingtian, but also an old friend of Li Xianchen, the head of the Li family in Longxi.

On the gravel beach of the Yellow River, Cheng Huaijing actually erected a grave for Li Xianchen with his own hands.

"No...I can't, you can't let the emperor know about this!" Hao Chun seemed to wake up suddenly from a dream, panting heavily, and said decisively: "Cheng Da Sikong is your mentor! Chen Jingming, You are crazy to think of blackmailing him!"

Chen Jingming leaned over and looked at Hao Chun quietly, with two strands of pine ink and long hair hanging from his temples, his whole body was as quiet as a jade Buddha in the dim light, or like a demon treading water through the darkness.With lowered eyebrows, he asked indifferently in the darkening twilight: "Oh? Why can't you be coerced?"

Hao Chun raised his head and carefully looked at Chen Jingming who was against the light.

Chen Jingming wore a cloth robe today, very plain, even more plain than when he was staying at Fulong Temple in the past, but the setting sun seemed to be coated with a dark red light on his side.The gravel beach of the Yellow River has always been the site of military strategists. This guy stands in front of a deserted tomb and an empty stele, behind him is half a round sun that is about to submerge in the water.There was dirt and sand on that tombstone, and he... looked a little weird too.

Hao Chun couldn't explain why he thought Chen Jingming was weird, he just felt uneasy. "Fuck, you are really ungrateful! Well, if you go to Chang'an City, you will go, and I will not argue with you, sir. As for whether His Majesty will kill me after going to Chang'an City, I don't know." I don't care about it. Now, young master, I will rely on you for everything, but what about you? What are you acting like a monster? Are you taking your life too long? How dare you provoke His Majesty and Cheng Dasi to have nothing to do with each other!"

Chen Jingming sighed for a long time and looked down at him. "Ah Chun, it is precisely because of this that going to Chang'an makes the emperor's heart unpredictable, so I suddenly thought that if His Majesty knows that the person in the teacher's heart is not him..."

"Stop!" Hao Chun shrank his pupils and interrupted him sharply. "So you're going to trade this monument for my life, my lord?"

Chen Jingming really stopped talking and just looked at him quietly.

Silence is sometimes more powerful than words.

Hao Chun only felt suffocated.His heart hurt badly, and he seemed to be unable to breathe, something was pressing him heavily.

The pale and white moon is crawling in the southwest corner, or maybe it is the northwest?Hao Chun only felt that his eyes seemed to be unable to see clearly again.He couldn't see the sun and moon clearly, nor could he see Chen Jingming clearly.

He only felt that this guy was extremely terrifying!

After a while, Hao Chun laughed hoarsely. "If one day I betray you, or block your way to the top...Chen Yushi, will you treat me like this?"
