Am I a scumbag?

Sending envoys abroad is a serious national event, and the emperor didn't know it for no reason.

However, he knew it was too late, the mission to Beimo was already in order, ready to go out of the city with the red gifts that had been prepared.

Yan Yuliang: "..."

Careless! ! !

What he originally thought was that it had only been a few days since Chang Xun came back, so he must be unhappy to meet Lan Lan in a hurry.So I planned to procrastinate for a while, and wait until Lanlan is in a good mood one day...

But he forgot that Lan Wang is always sharp and decisive in his actions despite his twisted words!

At this moment, the spring is warm, and the peach blossoms are budding outside the window, a bright and thin powder.

Lan Wang was sitting under the window, dressed in a rare spring-colored lotus color, with long hair tied loosely and slightly slack, cordierite kite earrings scattered around his ears.

For a gentleman of Jiaojiao, the beauty of the scene is even more beautiful.

It's a pity that the beauty is cheating on me.

"Azhao also knows that if the change in Beimo is true, those envoys must have entered the dragon's pool and tiger's lair, and they are extremely dangerous. Fortunately, Yuwen Changfeng has been proficient in diplomacy for many years, and Xun Chang is smart and adaptable. I believe the two of them A perfect combination will definitely fulfill the mission.”

"Ah Zhao doesn't remember these two people very much."

He flipped through the folds with his slender fingers, and said casually: "If you remember, you will know that one of these two was a confidant of the third prince, and the other was born to a maid from the prince's mother's clan. The thing in the pool. It is best to leave this matter to them."

Absolutely.

Yan Yuliang admired silently.

It is said that "the one who is close to vermilion is red and the one who is close to ink is black", Lan Lan has become more and more excited recently!

It’s just a few words, not only the high-sounding duke sent the two unlucky ghosts to the tiger’s lair and wolf’s lair selflessly, but also conveniently discredited—[Although they were sent to the tiger’s lair and wolf’s lair, don’t feel sorry for them, after all, back then One is the third prince's confidant and the other is the prince's mother's family, neither of them are from our own! 】

It's too insidious.So cunning.How could a man with such a thin skin learn to be sour without changing his face?Lanlan has completely learned from me!

Zhuang Qingqu knew that such words probably wouldn't fool his Ah Zhao.

But it is a little bit to be able to coax a little.

It is not a good thing for Xun Chang to be used to demagoguery.And Yuwen Changfeng... Anyway, Ah Zhao doesn't remember the existence of this person at all!

After he finished thinking, he raised his clear eyes and looked at the emperor's handsome profile under the bright sunlight exposed under the window.

The years are quiet.Today's days are addictive day by day, and he only wishes to be so drunk for the rest of his life.Everything that is so good in your hands cannot be destroyed by anyone.

The small jade cup on the table was full of sweet and sour plums, Lan Wang picked up a slice with his slender fingers: "Ah Zhao, come here."

Yan Yuliang is informal, every time he bites off the plums directly from his fingertips, and he doesn't forget to lick the fine powdered sugar that remains.

Zhuang Qingqu was nostalgic for the crisp and numb taste, while laughing that he was sick.He beat Xiao Ai clean, others would feel dirty when touching him, if it was someone else who spit on his fingers...

Only Ah Zhao.

Feed me a few mouthfuls of plums, and think, Ah Zhao always likes to come and cuddle with me when he is editing papers in winter.Nuan Nuan is like a cat, but why hasn't she cuddled recently?

The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became, and he picked up the plum in a daze.Hello.Pick up the plums and feed them again.

Yan Yuliang was fed seven or eight in a row by him, and he guessed countless possibilities.It wasn't until he tentatively picked up the bag in his hand and squeezed King Lan to sit on the opposite tea table, leaning against the fragrant beauty, that King Lan was finally satisfied, but his face was still sullen and handsome.

well.Lan Wangxin, Sea Needle!

……

The sun is fine.The emperor and Lan Wang are discussing the details of the return of the emperor.It is now April, and the good times of the year have really come.The crops were about to be planted, and officials from all over the country had to go to Beijing to report on their duties. Emperor Jinyu's return to the Golden Palace was a top priority.

In the middle, Fuling came over: "Your Majesty, Lord Lan, the Beimo Mission has left the city."

Zhuang Qingqu only paused for a moment, then continued to discuss business with the emperor with his head down.

Finally gone, the best way to go.The northern desert is far away, and the missions will go back and forth for at least a month, and it is best for Ah Zhao not to think of them for a month.

Not to mention that he sneaked out of the city yesterday to meet Xun Chang.

Zhuang Qingqu didn't want to see the dead fox either.But he wanted the secret report from Beimo in Xun Chang's hand, but he refused to take the risk of letting him into the palace, so he had to go by himself.

I haven't seen him for a few years, but Xun Chang hasn't changed at all.As soon as they met, the first sentence he rushed forward was: "Zhuang Qingqu! What happened to Ah Liang recently? Did something happen or did you do something wrong?"

"Although he is in good health now, there must be a big problem elsewhere! The color of the wick I lit for him when he was seriously injured has not been correct until now."

"You must tell me the truth today! Don't lie to me! You know that my Xun clan has been ordered to protect the Yan clan for hundreds of years. You can hide it from others but you can't hide it from me!"

……

The car rattles, Ma Xiaoxiao.

As the Daxia Mission went northward, Xun Chang sat in the car in a daze.

The color of the life extension lamp was strange, and he had thought about many possibilities.For example, would Ah Liang be blind or lame even though he was alive?But later Xi Xingjian wrote a letter, saying that the emperor was able to climb walls with all four limbs in good health.

Unexpectedly, it was amnesia!

Blame him for being late.I don't know what Zhuang Qingqu did after A Liang lost his memory. In the past, he tried so hard to not let A Liang look at him more, but this time he won A Liang's heart within a month? ?

You can also let Ah Liang cooperate with him to act together, go up the tower together, and see all the officials playing the harmony between the monarch and the ministers together.So far, no one among the officials has doubted it, and even the slightest rumor of the emperor losing his memory has never been heard!

Zhuang Qingqu has grown up!

Xun Chang was in a daze.Yuwen Changfeng beside him was excited all the way.

He had been away from Daxia for ten years, and he couldn't get enough of the picturesque scenery in front of him.Although this mission is going to Beimo, which he dislikes the most, he thought that on the way he would not only pass through the recovered Yanyun lost land, but also pass through the "Yunsheng Prefecture" established by Jinyu seven years ago. I was very happy to see his old father again.

He was so happy that he couldn't help singing while walking, fiddled with a dulcimer given by a blond bearded friend from Kanyu, and sang exotic love songs in a language that Xun Chang couldn't understand along the way.

Passing by towns and markets, the singing attracted many girls to look back.Seeing him so handsome, I threw the cherries, plums and loquats I just bought on his car one by one.

Sing all the way: "Ah Chang, why are you in a daze all day?"

Xun Chang glanced at him.

Even Xi Qing and Xu Qing didn't know about the emperor's amnesia.But Xun Chang felt that he could tell Yuwen Changfeng.

Yuwen Changfeng's mouth has been tight since he was a child. The most important thing is that he has traveled around the world and seen a lot these years. Even if he knows the truth, he will definitely not make a fuss like Xi Qing and the others!

Yuwen Changfeng is indeed well-informed and not easy to make a fuss about.But after listening to Xun Chang's words, he still didn't sleep all night, and he still couldn't fall asleep completely the next day.

He stopped singing during the day, and doubted life with his big red eyes.

"The second prince not only lost his memory, but also with Zhuang Qingqu...?!"

Yuwen Changfeng left Daxia before the emperor succeeded to the throne, so he still can't change his words, and always likes "Second Prince" and "Second Prince".

"But, how is it possible?!"

At least in his memory, Zhuang Qingqu always looked down on the second prince.This person was already arrogant and difficult to get along with, and he never had a good face when facing the second prince who came from a humble background.

As for the second prince, although he has a gentle and lively personality and greets everyone with a smile, he doesn't like Zhuang Qingqu either.

Although he will talk to him and tease him, but when there are really good wine and good things, have you ever seen him call Zhuang Qingqu?

Xun Chang: "A Liang doesn't like Zhuang Qingqu, but Zhuang Qingqu secretly liked A Liang back then."

Yuwen Changfeng: Are you sure? ? ?Can you call him liking just because he looks disgusted all day long?Didn't the two of us read together at the same time?

Xun Chang: "Zhuang Qingqu was young at that time, and his temper was raised by his family to be arrogant and conceited, so he was not very good at expressing. But now that he is given another chance, how well he coaxed Ah Liang?"

Yuwen Changfeng: "..." He still didn't believe it.

No matter how you think about it, the Zhuang Qingqu in his memory always looked down on people with his eyes above the top, and he looked at the second prince without any warmth in his eyes.

Xun Chang continued to tell him what happened after the second prince succeeded to the throne.

Yuwen Changfeng was originally only "a little disbelief", but it turned into "complete disbelief".

He deeply doubted whether Xun Chang had read too many third-rate scripts after being bored in Beimo for the past few years.What kind of bloody stories are these talking about?

After succeeding to the throne, Zhuang Qingqu overthrew the family of powerful officials Tantai, just because of jealousy and friendship with the second prince and Tantaihong? ?The southern and northern wars are also for the purpose of monopolizing the power, so as to force the second prince to commit himself to him? ? ?

Look at how the noble, cool and proud Zhuang Qingqu has been hacked! !

Yuwen Changfeng silently remembered an old incident.

Xun Chang has this problem since he was a child, and he likes to add non-existent twists and turns to the facts when speaking.For example, when the second prince was burned by Zhuang Qing, what Xun Chang described at that time was——

The second prince was miserable, and he had no clothes to wear in the winter, so he could only take out the bed sheet and the cotton inside and sew a new cotton coat overnight.But Zhuang Qingqu's morals are corrupt, and in the middle of the night, he even sent his servants to laugh at him, and scolded the second prince across the palace wall.

Not to mention how the servants of the Zhuang Mansion could sneak into the palace in the middle of the night.

Just talk about the second prince's frustrating hands!In addition to good-looking writing, other things are not working!Where can he have the ability to sew cotton clothes by himself?

The story of Xun Chang has already mentioned how King Lan is now coaxing the amnesiac emperor with tenderness and sweetness in the palace.

Yuwen Changfeng couldn't help sighing silently, this life in Qin Tianjian is really a waste, the third-rate dialects in the capital don't even know what kind of talent they missed!

……

Xun Chang and Yuwen Changfeng discussed the emperor every day during their envoys.

The emperor in the capital was wondering—who did King Lan meet when he sneaked out of the palace a few days ago?After I came back, I was restless for several days.

Support, you continue to support.

"..."

"Come on, Lanlan! Don't drink anymore. It's the seventh cup today, do you want to sleep tonight?"

What Yan Yuliang snatched from King Lan's hands was a cup of strong refreshing tea.

King Lan has a weakness, that is, he doesn't defend at all when he is sleepy, and he is willing to obediently tell the truth when asked him anything.But recently, Lan Wang seemed to have noticed that he had this problem. He always drank a lot of refreshing tea these two days, and he didn't sleep until Yan Yuliang went to bed first.

... They are all pillow people, so what about fighting wits and courage like this? !

Yan Yuliang was very convinced: "Lanlan, I promise, I will never ask you anything when you are half asleep and half awake. The emperor will never lie to you."

"Then you also promise me that this tea is not allowed to be drunk in the future, okay?"

"You were light sleeper and tired, and you still drink this kind of thing to ruin your body!"

He spoke angrily, picked up a booklet on the table, and knocked Lan Wang on the head.Lan Wang may have never been knocked like this in his life, and he was stunned for a while, but instead he became helpless like a child who did something wrong.

"No... It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's because I'm afraid that I will lose my mind, and I won't be able to act nonsense if I talk nonsense."

Yan Yuliang: "Okay!"

Lan Lan was too serious, and he couldn't bear to embarrass him any longer.

"But Qingqing wants to tell me the truth, you went out of the city a few days ago... did you go to see that Xun Chang?"

Very quiet, no denying then acknowledging.

"What did you all say?"

King Lan remained silent, and only asked Fu Ling to bring the thick stack of secret reports from northern Xinjiang.

The two established the monarch, Ming minister and virtuous, and immediately began to study seriously.

The change in Beimo reported in the secret report is roughly the same as the information Su Xu brought before, but the content is much more detailed and clear than Su Xu’s. Even the guest list for the wedding in the grassland, and all kinds of items purchased in the Beimo Tunnel. There are nominal prices.

Zhuang Qingqu and Yan Yuliang discussed and discussed, and basically reached a consensus - even if Bei Mo really intends to raise troops, judging from the details, the assembly is far from sufficient, and Daxia still has time to prepare for deployment.

For other countermeasures, we can only discuss together after the northern Xinjiang mission comes back.

After the research, it was time to go to bed after dark.

Yan Yuliang: "Lan Lan, but we've finished talking about important national affairs, but we haven't talked about yours yet."

"...I still feel that you must have been bullied by that Xun Chang."

Zhuang Qingqu sneered: "No, he didn't dare."

Yan Yuliang: "Qingqing, if he really bullied you, you can just sue me. Even if this person has made meritorious service, he bullied Qingqing...I don't like him either! I don't like him with Qingqing. !"

Zhuang Qing and Qu froze.

He didn't want to say anything at first, but he couldn't help it anymore, You Lanxiang's whole body fell down and hugged Yan Yuliang.

He really likes A Zhao's phrase "I don't like him with you".

……

There has always been a legend among the people of Daxia that the ancestor of the Xun family of Qin Tianjian was a fox fairy, who had received the favor of the founding father of Daxia, and swore that his descendants would protect the emperors of all dynasties.

Yan Yuliang: "???"

"What? Is it true? He is a fox fairy. Are there really fox fairies in this world?"

Zhuang Qingqu was angry and funny, and pinned him down: "It never happened! It's just a legend!"

Yan Yuliang let out an "oh", quite disappointed.

"But this Xun Chang is really evil. Not only is he proficient in divination and strange spells, but also... I once saw a person offend him. He just snapped his fingers from a distance and caused him to fall into the lotus pond. Obviously that person has a bad temper Be careful, the line was at least one foot away from the edge of the pool!"

"One more time..."

Another time, in the third year of Jinyu, he was seriously injured and was on the verge of death.Xun Chang told Azhao that if he wanted to save someone, he should go to the Taimiao Temple and pour out the efforts of the emperor for seven days.Azhao did it, and he survived, but he still doesn't know what the fox demon has in mind.

"Although he is evil, the folk rumors always say...as long as the Xun family is always by the side of Da Xiazi, the emperor will not have any mistakes."

He lowered his eyes and hugged the person in his arms tightly.

【So, if you hadn't insisted on sending me away back then, I wouldn't have been injured at all when I was protecting Ah Liang in Beijiang! 】

【Why, you still not convinced?But you just didn't protect him well, I have never had any mistakes by Ah Liang's side for many years!He almost died by your side! 】

【Isn't King Lan planning to find an eminent monk again to open an altar to fight against me? 】

"..."

"Qing Qing."

"Qingqing! Don't listen to that kind of nonsense!"

Yan Yuliang hugged Lan Wang tightly, feeling very distressed.His family, Lanlan, has the kind of temperament that is particularly delicate and easy to get into the horns of the horns. Can he live a life after hearing this?

No wonder I was so sad for a few days, because I was bullied by that Xun Chang!

He comforted King Lan for a while, then inserted his fingertips into King Lan's obscene clothes, Zhuang Qingqu: "Azhao? What are you... doing!"

"Look, Qingqing also has a lot of scars on her body."

In the dark night.The emperor's fingertips rubbed against the uneven and hideous scars on King Lan's waist.

The flesh of King Lan's wound was already tender, but he was caught off guard and felt numb from the scar to his heart. He gritted his teeth and pulled his hand out.

Yan Yuliang touched his fingertips again.

Lan Wang's fingers were slender and beautiful, but there were thick calluses on the palms of his fingers.The skin around her body is not smooth to the touch, and there are traces of the desert wind everywhere.

"...Qing Qu has also suffered many injuries, it's not that I also failed to protect Qing Qu."

Zhuang Qingqu: "Azhao, it's different. You are the Son of Heaven."

Yan Yuliang: "Because I am the Son of Heaven. What is the duty of the Son of Heaven? It is to guard the territory and gates, and protect the people of the world, not to be protected by others!"

"Azhao..."

"Qingqing is my man, and it is I who should protect you everywhere, so as not to let you get hurt again in the future."

"If Qingqing also wants to protect me, I will only protect Qingqing from now on. That Xun Chang, whoever he loves, I won't bother him."

Zhuang Qingqu didn't say anything.

The chest has never been so at ease.Xun Chang's words that day gradually faded away in his ears, and they no longer pierced his heart every now and then.

He hugged Yan Yuliang tightly, secretly inhaled for a while, and finally said softly: "Go to sleep."

Unexpectedly, the person in his arms writhed in various ways.

"Qingqing, cough, before going to bed, I... want to admit a mistake to Qingqing."

Lan Wang gave a soft "hmm".

"Qingqing promises me first, and you can't be angry again?"

If he would say that, it must be something that can piss people off.But Zhuang Qingqu was full of tenderness at the moment, even if the person in his arms turned upside down, he would not be angry.

Yan Yuliang: "Then I said it."

He took a deep breath.

"After thinking about it for a while, the detailed and rigorous content of the Beimo secret report brought by Xun Chang is definitely not something that can be completed in a few months. Behind it must be an entire intelligence team that has been in Beimo for many years, and since Qingqing is not Knowing the existence of this intelligence group, it can only be that I secretly set it up in northern Xinjiang many years ago!"

"Therefore, I kept things from Qingqing back then! But now I have confessed everything honestly, and I promise not to hide it from Qingqing in the future."

"And..."

"According to my personality, if there is such a secret intelligence group in Beimo, then there must be other places too! It's just that I have lost my memory and can't remember it. In the future, Qingqing...can you accompany me to look for it?"

"Otherwise, those people are too pitiful. Only I know of their existence. Some of them lurk abroad and some go deep behind enemy lines. Wouldn't they all become kites with broken strings?"

Zhuang Qingqu: "..."

Yan Yuliang tickled him with his fingertips: "It's settled, don't get angry?"

Lan Wang gritted his teeth and hugged him tightly: "Don't be angry, help you find it!"
