Invite the wolf into the room

I would like to ask, what are your plans after you come to Beijing? "

Xue Jingyang didn't talk any more, and sat next to Qiong, and poured him a glass of water carefully.

This time they entered Beijing, although they guessed that His Majesty would not treat An Chen badly, who had made great achievements, but what kind of result it would be is still unknown. Xue Jingyang was more worried about whether the emperor had other thoughts about Qiong, Xue Jingyang's heart tightened when he thought that Qiong had just escaped from one cage, and that he might be locked in another larger and more unshakable cage. Looking forward to His Majesty really dislikes male sex.

I hope he can live happily... at least, at least free.

"Continue to do... Shadow, there are such a group of people around His Majesty."

Xue Jingyang's question made Qiong's hand hold the end of his hair tightly, but he said it as if he didn't care. Qiong had decided this matter a long time ago, and he didn't even tell An Chen.

Qiong has been living in the world of the night since he could remember, and all he knows is killing. He doesn't think that His Majesty will allow himself, who can threaten his life, to escape from his control, so instead of being eradicated by His Majesty as a threat and dragging down An Chen , it's better to submit to his control actively, and protect An Chen for a longer time.

"No! You are already free, so why push yourself to a dead end?"

Xue Jingyang grabbed Qiong's hand nervously. At this time, he couldn't care less about being rude. He could live a good life, so why didn't he fight for himself and just choose a dead end so passively?

"I chose this path just to not die. The power of the sky is unpredictable, and who can be truly free? You know this much better than me...Young Master."

Seeing his hands being held by another pair of warm and powerful hands, Qiong had the illusion that he could get more warmth from them as soon as he got closer, but he still slowly broke free from the nostalgic warmth, and said coldly "Little Hou Ye." '

...Perhaps, the right side of the face should also be destroyed, why bother to kill this person?

"Yeah...how can I say freedom?"

Clenching his still empty palm, Xue Jingyang smiled bitterly twice, trying not to show sadness. Qiong suffered a thousand times more than himself, and he was able to persevere because he had never been tempted before. , and since I don't have the right and qualification to protect him for the rest of my life, how can I provoke him selfishly and really break his heart?

"But you really have other choices. There are priests in the palace who protect His Majesty in an upright manner. They are all peerless masters with different identities. The priests have no rank but are dignified officials. They can be normal like Ouchi guards." His life and rotation, and those dark shadows are completely two systems, think about An Chen, don't you want to live with him when he is resting? You are his only relative, even if it is for him , you should continue to stay by his side."

Xue Jingyang, who had made up his mind, supported Qiong's shoulders and encouraged him earnestly. Seeing that Qiong's expression was a little loose, Xue Jingyang showed a happy smile, which perfectly covered up the soreness in his heart.

If possible, Xue Jingyang hopes that he and Qiong can become friends, even confidants, he will not put pressure on Qiong, he just wants to take good care of this person, so that he wants to protect the other person without asking for anything in return, Xue Jingyang is the first in his life. times.

"……I will consider."

Xue Jingyang's suggestion really brightened Qiong's eyes. He was used to the life of a killer and couldn't adapt to ordinary life at all, and he had made too many enemies in the past. Staying with An Chen would only be a drag, but if he could really be enshrined If the identity stays in the palace, it will not only solve the emperor's doubts about him, but also get the protection of the court, and help An Chen. It really serves multiple purposes...

"Although the enshrined life is also subject to some restrictions, at least you can have a lot of free time. Judging from your current situation, it is the most suitable choice for you."

The change in Qiong's expression was clearly seen by Xue Jingyang, who was observing carefully. Only then did he let go of his hanging heart. He knew that Qiong was strong, and that their uncle and nephew were really alike. Hopefully, they will persevere tenaciously.

"kindness……"

Feeling a little uncomfortable being looked at by Xue Jingyang's gentle gaze, Qiong replied vaguely, and his eyes fell on the hand that was supporting his shoulder...Qion has never been so good-tempered before being touched by anyone, dare to touch it. Everyone who met him was either dead or maimed.

"Oh, then you should have a good rest, we have to get up early tomorrow."

Seeing his hand following Qiong's line of sight, Xue Jingyang let go of him subconsciously, then got up and said goodbye a little helplessly, and hurried back to his room.

Xue Jingyang, who had run away, didn't know that, after sitting alone in the room for a long time, Qiong slowly reached out to caress the place on his shoulder that he had touched.

Xue Jingyang, who returned to the room, leaned against the door and let out a long sigh, with a complex smile mixed with bitterness and relaxation on his face, this time he even lost his only free heart, so let that love be untouchable Those who arrive should hide in it tightly, so that you don't have to toss about in the future, and use the rest of your body to live for your family and responsibilities.

Afterwards, on the way back to Beijing, Xue Jingyang completely recovered his free-spirited temperament, and he still took care of his uncle and nephew affectionately, showing no other emotions at all, and Qiong continued to accompany him indifferently, as if the conversation that night did not exist. By An Chen's side, he didn't say a word to Xue Jingyang, but unconsciously, the two of them got along with each other more tacitly, and the occasional eye contact could make the two of them feel unconscious. sunny.

Finally, on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, An Chen and his group walked under the north gate of the capital. Xue Jingyang took a deep look at Qiong for the last time, and officially parted ways with the two of them. This farewell, he will bear the responsibility of the heir of the Xue family. Responsibility, to support the entire Xue family with the rest of his life.

"Should we go to Ling's Mansion or go directly to Yuelao Temple? There are still two hours before the competition."

Qiong, wearing a bamboo hat, glanced at Xue Jingyang's back, and then turned his gaze back to An Chen. Today is the last competition for choosing a son-in-law. It is said that the request was made by Her Royal Highness, and the final six winners won. Those who can write their names on the marriage card that the princess places on the top of the tower will be her consort.

"Go back to Ling Mansion first."

An Chen looked at his weathered face, pursed his lips in dissatisfaction, and decided to go home to freshen up first, and then go to the Marriage Tower to find his Qing Zhe.

Yuelao Temple, Marriage Pagoda, where An Chen personally put the marriage plaque engraved with their names on the top of the pagoda, this time when he comes back, he will also snatch his lover back with his own hands.

The author has something to say: Hold the lid of the pot, so what, the second brother must first take up his own responsibilities, and he must become a mature man before his uncle can see it~~~

get together

The [-]th day of the first lunar month is not an important day to ask for marriage and fate, but on this day, the vicinity of Yuelao Temple is very lively, even compared to the Manyuanhui, but the ordinary people gathered here this time are not On the contrary, they are all high-ranking officials and dignitaries who put on a big show. Their car entourages completely block the periphery of Yuelao Temple, and there are piles of imperial guards patrolling around.

You must know that those people gathered in the square of Yuelao Temple are the political center of the entire Jialin Kingdom, and almost none of the royal relatives, civil and military officials in the capital are left behind.

Six wooden pillars were erected around the Marriage Tower, and red silk ropes were intersected between the pillars and the towers, and between the pillars and the pillars, which seemed quite festive. On one of the pillars, waiting for His Majesty on the high platform to give an order.

In this competition, they can only rely on the pillars and silk ropes. If they land on the ground, they will fail. The person who grabs the special carving knife with the sheath and carves his name on the sign wins. Since the engraving takes time, it cannot be relied on. It is a way of speculating or reaping the benefits of the fisherman. If you want to win, you have to really defeat all your opponents.

As one of the highly anticipated candidates, Ling Qingzhe stood on one of the pillars and looked around, slandering those dignitaries sitting in a circle, wondering if all the yamen are closed today?These officers are really idlers.

While waiting for His Majesty and the others to gossip, Ling Qingzhe turned his face and looked at the tall and strong man on the pillar on his right. That man was the head of the guard next to Her Highness the Princess. He had fought An Chen a few tricks here, and Ling Qingzhe did the same. It was only later that I found out that this man named Wu Peiyan was quite high-status, he was the second son of a duke. Although he could not inherit his father's title, he would not be so bad if he became an official. He was stubborn, He didn't like to be a civil servant, so he took the route of an Ouchi bodyguard, and wanted to be a general in the future. Later, because of his loyalty and high ability, he was favored by His Majesty and sent to the princess.

Originally, in the previous competition, Wu Peiyan, who is not good at poetry and melody, had no chance of winning. It was all based on martial arts, riding and shooting strategies, which added points, and he had been hanging in the top few. This time, Her Royal Highness personally appeared In this contest, she voted for Wu Peiyan's strengths. Ling Qingzhe rubbed his chin and guessed in his heart that this was the odds that His Highness specially gave her the chief guard to win. Young men and women who have been together for several years. How normal is it to have a relationship for a long time? If it was normal, there would be a scandal between the two of them that would lose the face of the royal family, but now this is
