The hero bends down

The Southwest Army entered Beijing, and [-] guards were stationed in the suburbs. The location is still where General Zhenwu was stationed when he entered the palace to face the Shengping Quyu Rebellion.The mountains and forests are lush, the military camps are stationed, and the military tents in the camps are still the same as before.

Ji Munian took off his military uniform, changed into casual clothes, and brought a horse.

Seeing that General Ji was about to go out, Deputy General Lu Heng couldn't help asking, "Where is General Ji going?"

Ji Munian reined in his horse and looked at the gray sky, lowered his eyes and said, "It's nothing, I haven't been to Beijing for a long time, I'm just looking around."

It has been three years since that day when I left the capital and went to the southwest border.

I don't know what happened to that person.

Lu Heng knew that this General Ji was an official who was demoted from the capital. Although his temper was a bit delicate, since General Zhenwu was killed in the Battle of Fengchu, this man alone took on the important affairs of the Southwest. Chu came to commit the crime and made outstanding military exploits.At this time, he returned to the imperial court to reward him, and the general visited the old place without saying anything.

Ji Munian drove the horse alone, and walked forward silently.

Before he knew it, when he reached the gate of the capital, Ji Munian got off his horse and walked towards the imperial city.

The imperial city remains the same as in the past, the red walls of the deep palace are towering, blocking the scene inside.

Ji Munian took the knife from his side and showed it to the gate guards. After careful inspection, the gate guards realized that it was a precious blade bestowed by the emperor, and quickly bowed to let it go.

The sky became more and more gloomy, thick clouds covered the sky, and thunder resounded.After a while, it finally started to rain.

"..." Ji Munian watched the rain in silence, and hurried to a eaves, took out a silk handkerchief, and wiped the place that was hit by the rain just now.

Even though he had lived in the border town for three years, he still couldn't bear the dust and blood splattered everywhere on the battlefield in the border town.

Fortunately, Long Yi knew his temperament back then, so he didn't send him to guard the northwest.If you go to the Northwest, it may be difficult to take a bath every half a month.

Ji Munian stood dryly, hoping that the rain would stop soon.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and at the end it seemed to be pouring, pouring on the eaves and ground.

Ji Munian shrank in, and then he saw a person holding an umbrella in the pouring rain, staggering in the rain.

The man kept looking around, and finally saw Ji Munian standing in the corner of the room, and hurried towards him.

As he got closer, Ji Munian recognized that the man was Defu.

Defu still had an umbrella in his hand, he walked in front of Ji Munian, exhaled and said: "Master Ji, just heard the guard's report, you are finally here."

Ji Munian looked at Telford in surprise.

Defu handed the umbrella to Ji Munian and said: "Master Ji wants to see the emperor, the emperor is now changing the book at Fengchuzhai."

Ji Munian thought about it, if Long Yi was used to it, he should really be changing it now.

But since that person came, the emperor seldom stayed in Fengchuzhai, he would always go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation or Yixi Garden to be with that person.

While thinking, Ji Munian hesitated and asked: "Eunuch, how has the emperor been doing these three years?"

Defu looked embarrassed, he took a look at Ji Munian and said: "Master Ji, what do you want a slave to say..." He paused and said, "Master Ji will know when he goes to see the emperor."

Ji Munian silently opened his umbrella and stepped into the rain.

Defu led Ji Munian to Fengchuzhai.

Halfway through the journey, Ji Munian said: "Elder-in-law, I heard at the border that the Emperor's dragon is ill. I don't know if it's true or not."

Defu walked ahead, did not see Ji Munian's face, just said: "Since Concubine Xian left, Feng Chu started the war, the emperor has worked too hard, and the old disease has recurred."

Ji Munian paused, bowed his head and said, "Eunuch, can you wait for me for a while, I...I have something to do."

Defu then turned to look at Ji Munian.

In the rain curtain, this person's expression couldn't be seen clearly. Between the two of them, there was only the downpour like a broken needle.

The ear-filling "哗哗" sound kept going.

Ji Munian changed direction and walked to the guard's bedroom where he used to live.

There was a cedar tree next to the guard's bedroom, and it was vigorously opened. Ji Munian took a small hoe, went under the green pine, and dug an inch of ground.

Defu, who was standing on the side, saw that after the inch of land had been dug open, a small wine jar was actually exposed.

Ji Munian took out the wine jar, covered the soil again, went to the well, fetched water to wash away the sludge on the wine jar.

Even though he had an umbrella to protect him from the rain, his body was mostly wet.

Ji Munian turned around and went to his original room to get a set of clothes, then went to Fengchu Zhai with the wine jar and Defu.

When we arrived at Fengchuzhai, Defu came in to announce, and after a while, Defu came out and said, "Lord Ji, the emperor has agreed."

Ji Munian raised his foot and was about to walk in.

Defu grabbed Ji Munian again, and said in a low voice: "Master Ji is also a celebrity by the emperor's side, I want you to persuade the emperor."

Ji Munian turned to Telford.

Defu only said this sentence, then lowered his eyebrows and fell silent.

Ji Munian said: "Eunuch, don't worry, Mu Nian has his own measure."

After he finished speaking, he walked into Fengchuzhai, opened the door curtain of Fengchuzhai, and saw a person sitting on a chair, holding a book in one hand and a pen in the other, looking down.

His appearance was the same as when he left, and even his posture was the same as three years ago, except that Long Yi was thinner and paler.

He obviously looked tired, but he didn't lazily crawl to the side of the bed as before, and lie down comfortably on the bed.

Ji Munian's throat choked, and he paid homage: "My subject, Ji Munian, sees the emperor."

After he finished speaking, Long Yi turned his head to look at Ji Munian and said, "Get up."

Ji Munian got up as he said.

Long Yi looked Ji Munian up and down with his head sideways, then smiled and said, "Munian, I haven't seen you for a few years, I see that you have grown more energetic."

Ji Munian said: "The emperor has praised you."

Long Yi put down the pen and paper, and beckoned for Ji Munian to come to his side.

Ji Munian walked over as he said.

Long Yi pulled him to sit down and said, "I originally thought that I would see Mu Nian at the reward ceremony tomorrow, but it seems that Mu Nian is more impatient than me."

Ji Munian remained silent, and finally smiled calmly and said: "The emperor must stop making fun of me."

Long Yi waved his hands and said with a smile: "Why would I make fun of Mu Nian? Mu Nian helped me defeat Southern Chu. I'm too happy to be happy."

He said this and smiled like this, but Ji Munian couldn't see the real smile on his face.

Ji Munian could vaguely guess Long Yi's state of mind, and was speechless for a moment.

Seeing that Ji Munian was speechless, Long Yi stretched his legs and feet, picked up his pen and corrected a notebook, finally put down the pen, pulled over a stack of memorials, and said: "Mu Nian, you came just in time, these notebooks are so annoying .”

"..."

Ji Munian looked at Gao's folded papers, and knew that Long Yi wanted him to correct the papers, so he said helplessly, "Your Majesty..."

He was thinking of resigning, but was immediately interrupted by Long Yi waving his hand.

Long Yi rubbed his eyebrows, and continued to look at the booklet in his hand.

This momentum is much tougher than when Ji Munian left.

Ji Munian had no choice but to put aside the peach blossom wine in the wine jar in his hand, turned over a booklet, and read it carefully.

What is written on the booklet is what happened after Li.

Ji Munian was slightly taken aback.

He flipped through another book, and it was still a matter of Li Hou.

It seems to have returned to three years ago, but this happened in a flash, and it was another three years.

Long Yi has been on the throne for nearly ten years, and he has no heirs who are destined to succeed the throne, let alone conferred the title of empress.

Ji Munian knew that there was a shortage of people in that place in Long Yi's mind.

He quickly finished correcting the stack of papers in silence, and when he looked up, he saw Long Yi frowning, and finally couldn't help reaching out to take the papers in Long Yi's hand.

The folder in Long Yi's hand was taken away by someone unexpectedly, and after a while, he frowned and looked up at Ji Munian.

Ji Munian closed the booklet and said: "Your Majesty, the body of the dragon is important."

Long Yi still frowned.

Ji Munian said: "I remember that the emperor used to lie down for a while when correcting memorials."

Long Yi stared at Ji Munian intently, and finally said with a wry smile: "The old illness has flared up in the past few days, and it's not comfortable to lie down."

Although he talked about the past few days, in fact it probably has been a long time.

Ji Munian's face turned pale.

Long Yi said: "I don't mean to blame Mu Nian." He turned his eyes, looked at the wine jar Ji Munian put on the case, and said: "I always thought that Mu Nian smelled like wine, but now I realize that Mu Nian brought my favorite peach blossom wine."

Knowing that he was changing the subject, Ji Munian remained silent.

Long Yi held the wine jar with a smile, ordered Defu to bring the wine cup, opened the seal with his own hands, poured a glass, and swallowed his mouth.

The entrance of the fine wine is refreshing.

Long Yi closed his eyes, and the figure of that person gradually appeared in his mind, but his face was blurred, and he couldn't remember the appearance of that person.

Years of refinement have eroded those depictions of the past bit by bit.

Long Yi didn't dare to think any more, opened his eyes and silently shifted his gaze to the memorial.

Seeing Long Yi drink in one gulp, Ji Munian got up and poured another cup for Long Yi, and filled his own wine cup as well.

He picked up the wine cup and remained silent for a while, then raised his eyebrows and said, "Does the emperor still think about her?"

Long Yi remained silent.

Ji Munian smiled and said: "The emperor still remembers the bet with the minister that day?" Ji Munian didn't know why he mentioned this matter, but seeing Long Yi's appearance at this time, he couldn't help it any longer and looked after himself Go on: "At first, the emperor drew Wang Ba on the hand of the minister, but later he gave the minister what he wanted... The emperor knew that the person was not Concubine Qi, why didn't he go to Tong Hua to try a method?"

Long Yi raised his eyes to look at Ji Munian.

Looking at the rippling wine in the wine cup, Ji Munian smiled at himself, which was extremely dazzling, but he still smiled and said: "I think, if Tonghua is willing to help, maybe I can find Concubine Xian."

After he said the word "virtuous concubine", Long Yi saw his Adam's apple twitched up and down for a while, as if he was speaking the truth, but he was extremely reluctant.

Long Yi bowed his head again, and drank the wine in the glass again.

He drank very quickly, swallowed it in one gulp, and poured it into the bottom of his throat. After drinking, he poured another glass and said with a smile: "Mu Nian, this peach blossom wine must have been brewed for several years."

Ji Munian could only return to God and said, "It's been ten years."

Ten years, he buried it when he bid farewell to his father and followed Long Yi down the mountain to the palace.

Long Yi took another drink in silence.

He drank it one gulp, the nine-year-old wine was so strong that it was frighteningly strong, and after the tenth cup, Long Yi was a little drunk.

Ji Munian just watched Long Yi drink in a daze, and finally lowered his eyes, and drank a cup by himself.

After a while, when he looked up at Long Yi again, the man was already lying beside the desk.

Must be asleep.

Ji Munian called softly: "Your Majesty."

Long Yi didn't make a sound, but his breath smelled like wine.

Ji Munian called "Your Majesty" again.

Long Yi still didn't move.

Ji Munian got up and walked gently to Long Yi's side.

Long Yi's eyes were closed, and he didn't listen or ask.

Ji Munian put his arms around Long Yi.

This man is really thin.Ji Munian thought silently.

He helped Long Yi up and walked slowly towards the bed.Feng Chuzhai always had a bed for the emperor to rest on. Ji Mu was young and familiar with the road, so he put Long Yi on the bed and helped him straighten his body.

Long Yi frowned slightly.

Ji Munian's heart skipped a beat.

There was a wound on Long Yi's back, which was caused by a sharp blade. With the help of internal martial arts, the knife slashed and hurt his heart.

Although he was healed by Cheng Fengnan after that, the root cause was not clear.

And that knife was done by Kien Munian himself.At that time, he was young and energetic, he just wanted to compare with the man in front of him, he didn't know the severity of the attack, and almost made a big mistake.

But after that moment, everything in his life changed.

The descendants of the Ji family are famous all over the world.But for a moment, he stepped into the court and fought on the battlefield.

The past surged in like a tide, flooding Ji Munian's mind.

Ji Munian silently took a cushion on the bed, turned Long Yi sideways, and let the man's back rest on the cushion.

Only then did Long Yi frowned.

Ji Munian helped Long Yi take off his coat and shoes again, and pulled the quilt to cover Long Yi.

Long Yi sleeps peacefully, frowning when he is not awake.

Ji Munian slowly bent down.

Heartbeat like a drum.

Ji Munian closed his eyes, and kissed Long Yi lightly on the lips.

Long Yi still closed his eyes and made no sound.

Ji Munian felt relieved and smiled softly.

Then he got up and went to the room.

Defu waited outside the room for a long time, when he saw Ji Munian coming out, he said in a low voice, "Master Ji."

Ji Munian turned to look at him.

Defu smelled alcohol on Ji Munian's body, and was taken aback.

Ji Munian laughed softly: "Go in and serve the emperor, the emperor has already fallen asleep."

Defu exhaled and said, "Master Ji still has the ability, the emperor didn't close his eyes for three nights."

Ji Munian shook his head and smiled wryly, and took the umbrella from Telford.

The rain outside the house was gradually decreasing, but it was still a dense rain curtain.

Ji Munian opened his umbrella and stepped into the rain.

The wind rolled the rain curtain, blowing away a mist of water.

Defu looked at the back of Ji Munian, alone and with an umbrella, disappearing into the rain, his figure was desolate, and he didn't know what it was like.Finally he sighed and turned into Long Yi's room.

The room smelled of alcohol.He walked to the bed, but was taken aback.

The emperor lay on the bed with his eyes open, staring out the window in a daze.

The rain wet the window screen, and there was a blur of water stains.

"Defu." Long Yi called out.

Defu hurriedly bowed and said, "The slave is here."

Long Yi slowly sat up from the bed, raised his eyes and said, "I want to go out of the palace."

Defu raised his head and looked at Long Yi.

"Now." Long Yi added two more words.

Defu hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, it's raining heavily outside."

Long Yi didn't seem to hear Defu's words, he still said to himself: "Prepare the horse, I'm going to visit Yuanshan."

Seeing the emperor's eyes were firm, Defu knew that it would be futile to persuade him, so he agreed and quit the room arrangement.
