Great General [Rebirth]

The days in Jingye Pavilion are very idle, and you can sleep until the sun rises every day, take a book, make a pot of tea, and sit under the flower tree all afternoon.There were very few people in the other courtyard, only one maid, Ruan Yan, but Zhao Yongzhou knew that there were no fewer than six shadow guards hiding in the dark.Feng Buran didn't come here often, he seemed very busy, during the five days Zhao Yongzhou lived here, he only came back that night.

For Feng Buran's act of imprisoning him here in disguise, Zhao Yongzhou gradually felt a little unhappy.He knew that he must have his own plan, maybe the situation outside was bad, maybe he was protecting himself, but Zhao Yongzhou couldn't ignore the intuition in his heart - there was a conflict between Feng Buran and Prince Chen If there is an undercurrent, then I am just a pawn in the game between the two of them.

There was a fluttering sound above his head, Zhao Yongzhou raised his head, and geese flew in groups in the sky.Belatedly realized that winter is coming.The book in his hand hadn't been turned over for half an hour, and he stared blankly at the yellowed corner of the book, letting the chill travel through his limbs.

Ruan Yan stood under the arch not far away, making sure that the young man was sitting there obediently.The sky is getting late, and from here you can see the night lanterns slowly rising in mid-air.Tonight seems to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Kyoto is very lively.It is said that Shengshang Xinna's favorite concubine is a stunning foreign beauty, and she will follow Shengjia on a tour of the city tonight, and the guards will be tightly guarded, and her lord will hold an important position, so I'm afraid she will be back very late.Thinking of this, Ruan Yan sighed softly.

At night Zhao Yongzhou had his meal and sat in the yard to watch the moon.

"Ruan Yan, why is the moon so beautiful tonight?"

"Little General, today is August [-]th." Ruan Yan came out from under the banyan tree, holding a plate of pastries in her hand, she had been standing under the tree for a long time.

Zhao Yongzhou looked at the mooncakes offered by Ruan Yan, there were various kinds of them, pineapple, sweet-scented osmanthus, moon plum, five kernels, mixed sugar, all exquisite and expensive.He remembered that year in a small mountain village on the border, there was a silly girl who gave him moldy pastries.

"So it's Mid-Autumn Festival..." Zhao Yongzhou murmured, reaching out to pick up a piece of osmanthus-flavored mooncake.Touch the lips, take a bite, the fragrance is sweet, and the inside of the abdomen is full of fragrance.

There were bursts of firecrackers in the distance, and he pointed to a place that he thought was the most beautiful and bright, and asked, "What direction is that?"

Ruan Yan turned her head to look, and said, "Little General, that's the location of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

She keenly noticed that the young man's fingertips trembled, and then he put the mooncake back on the plate and waved his hand, "Go down, I want to sit alone for a while."

"Yes. I'm afraid my lord won't come over tonight, little general, let's rest early." Ruan Yan retreated to the depths of the night, she stood in the dark, and found that the young man was looking in the direction of the Prime Minister's Mansion for a long time, waiting for the person there. The fireworks go off.She made a note of this and wanted to tell the adults about this strangeness in her heart.

Suddenly footsteps came from outside the arched door, Ruan Yan was startled, just turned around, and met a pair of dark and emotionless eyes.

She made a sound out of fright, and subconsciously took two steps back.

"Ruan Yan?" The movement caught Zhao Yongzhou's attention in the yard, and he turned around and shouted.

Ruan Yan was watched by the owner of those eyes, but she opened her mouth but couldn't make a sound.

Without a response, Zhao Yongzhou frowned slightly, stood up and walked over.As he walked forward, it became darker, and he felt a little uneasy: "Ruan Yan, where are you?"

"...Yes, little general." Ruan Yan's voice trembled unbelievably.

Zhao Yongzhou paused, and instantly touched the Lian Yue scimitar in his arms.Just as he was about to get out of the sheath, he saw Feng Buran coming out of the darkness, and the lantern hanging above the corridor cast flickering light and shadow on the man's cheek.

Feng Buran looked at the scared woman paralyzed on the ground, "Useless things, get lost."

Ruan Yan raised her head and gave Zhao Yongzhou a grateful look, then turned and ran away with her weak hands and feet.

Feng Buran turned his head, his obsidian eyes coldly scanned the young man's body.Zhao Yongzhou quietly moved away the hand resting on the scimitar, grasped the book in his left hand seemingly casually, and stood there waiting for Feng Buran to speak.

Feng Buran ignored the nervous young man, went straight to the stone table and sat down, took a piece of mooncake and threw it into his mouth, chewed it two or three times, and spat it out in disgust.

"What the hell, it's really unpalatable." He patted the table, "Bring the wine quickly."

"..." Zhao Yongzhou stood in the distance, with cold sweat on his forehead.Soon, Ruan Yan came behind Zhao Yongzhou with a jug of wine and two cups, her face terrified.Zhao Yongzhou patted her on the shoulder reassuringly, and took the tray, "Go down, I'm here."

Ruan Yan bent over and bowed, turned around and disappeared in the blink of an eye.Zhao Yongzhou couldn't help blinking his eyes, thinking how good this girl is at lightness kung fu.

Feng Buran started to throw the plate.Zhao Yongzhou walked over and frowned when he saw the moon cakes that had fallen all over the floor.But he didn't say anything, he put the jugs on the stone table and bent down to pick them up one by one.

Feng Buran took the jug, opened the lid and drank with his head up.After a while, he finished drinking, threw it away, smashed his mouth, and stared at Zhao Yongzhou who had just picked up the mooncake: "Not enough."

Zhao Yongzhou looked at the high wall, and suddenly said: "I know a good place where there is a lot of wine hidden."

"Where?" Feng Buran asked as expected.

"Go, I'll take you there." Zhao Yongzhou walked towards the door, Feng Buran stood up and followed behind him.This time Ruan Yan didn't show up again, and the shadow guards hiding in the dark didn't stop her.Zhao Yongzhou walked out of the other courtyard all the way with his lips curled up.

Looking back at the Jingye Pavilion, the plaque under the moonlight was a little blurry.

The two of them went all the way from the secluded suburbs to the densely populated capital at night. To be on the safe side, Zhao Yongzhou quietly held Feng Buran's hand.Feng Buran didn't respond at all, just kept looking for wine.

"Why are there so many people? Where's the wine?"

"If you don't give me a drink, I'm going to kill someone."

"That man is fat all over... He's actually looking at you, go and gouge out his eyes." Feng Buran walked over while muttering.Zhao Yongzhou glanced at the fat man he was talking about, and was startled. Isn't that Sun Wei, the deputy general of the Yuezhong Army?He hurriedly pulled Feng Buran and turned around into an alley. There were so many people on the street and the traffic was like a flood, he couldn't see it all at once.

Jinhong Pavilion is not the most famous brothel in the capital, but Zhao Yongzhou likes the elegant atmosphere here, the location is relatively less prosperous, but there is still a lot of traffic in front of the door.On the night before the main gate, there were no women soliciting customers. There were only two or three boys sitting in the corner gate playing cards and playing cards. When they saw a visitor, they got up and greeted them with a smile:

"Masters, please come inside."

Zhao Yongzhou handed the boy a piece of silver, "Is there still room in Miaoyin Building?"

A trace of surprise flashed in the boy's eyes, but after all, he had been in this place for a long time, and he immediately recovered his smile and said: "This master looks very unfamiliar, and he knows us so well. It's been a long time since Miaoyin Building Waiting for guests, we have now expanded a new play area, sir, will you come with me to have a look?"

Zhao Yongzhou insisted, "Let's go to Miaoyin Building."

"But that place has been abandoned for a long time, I'm afraid the dust is everywhere..."

In the end, under Zhao Yongzhou's insistence, the servant had no choice but to lead the people through the bustling and bustling half of the fireworks field, to the attic with only two red lanterns lit at the door.

Stepping on the stairs and looping up, there was a creaking sound.When I came upstairs, I pushed open the door, and the servant stepped forward to open the window, and immediately greeted the moonlight in the room, the silver streamer sprinkled on the floor, reflecting the waves and flowing water of the moat outside the window, the black moon sky in the distance, the autumn wind blowing Array, I don't know how comfortable it is.

The boy's eyes widened, and he said, "Master, you really know how to choose, even I didn't know there was such a good place."

"Why don't you entertain guests here anymore?" Zhao Yongzhou asked casually.Feng Buran had already started to slap open the big wine jar in the corner, without any image at all.

The boy paused for a moment, then suddenly approached mysteriously and said, "This little one is not too clear, it seems that the Miaoyin Building is next to the moat."

"What happened to the moat? Isn't it beautiful?"

"But people died in the moat." The boy said in a low voice.

Zhao Yongzhou frowned, "Which river has no one died, why did the Miaoyin Tower be sealed?"

The boy said: "You don't know that, do you? I heard from the old man here that a young man from a rich family was drowned in this river, and many strange things happened afterwards."

"What's weird?"

"Guests enjoy the moon and scenery here, and often see a boy in white clothes with long hair struggling and crying in the river. Some guests jumped down to save them, but no one came up alive. Later people said that the boy who appeared in the river It's the ghost of the young master, who came to claim his life..."

"Pfft—" Feng Buran in the corner spat out a mouthful of wine, but his eyes were deep and cold and terrifying.The young man quickly glanced into his eyes, suddenly felt his scalp numb and his back felt cold, he said "be careful, sir", then turned around and ran downstairs.

Zhao Yongzhou looked a little gloomy. He walked to the huge window, looked at the peacefully flowing moat, and suddenly felt dizzy.I had to sit down with my hands on the window frame to calm down my accelerated heartbeat.

After all, it was the place where he died, so there was still a certain shadow for Zhao Yongzhou.He is very good at water, and once again he does not believe that he will drown in the moat.There is indeed a ghost in there, but it's not me.

A wine jug rolled to his feet, Zhao Yongzhou raised his head and looked over, Feng Buran was sitting opposite, with moonlight and stars shining in his black eyes, he beckoned to him: "Sit here."

Zhao Yongzhou got up and walked to Feng Buran's side. The ground was already full of wine, and there was a rattling sound.Just when he felt that he had no place to sit down, Feng Buran pulled him impatiently, and Zhao Yongzhou felt as if he was sitting in the wine pool.

Feng Buran went to open the next jar of wine, Zhao Yongzhou didn't intend to stop him, but just drank with him.After drinking until midnight, Zhao Yongzhou was already five or six points drunk.Looking at Feng Buran again, he was still blushing and out of breath.He even turned his head to show a smile, his eyebrows were beaming, and he was very surprised.

"Teacher..." Zhao Yongzhou murmured.He suddenly felt that Feng Buran from that night had returned.

Feng Buran just looked at him and smiled, while tugging at the official's collar.The bones were clear and the fingers were slender, which reminded him of some scenes that made him blush and heartbeat.

Zhao Yongzhou swallowed, his throat rolling, he felt that his body could not sit still and was slowly sliding down.Feng Buran approached, he had already taken off the purple official robe, and threw it aside with a wave.Zhao Yongzhou couldn't help thinking in his heart, maybe some officials will participate in the court meeting in the morning tomorrow.Said that he dragged his subordinates to visit the brothel, being disrespectful and so on.

When being hugged and put on the ground, Zhao Yongzhou raised his hand and put it lightly on Feng Buran's shoulder, "Teacher, do you recognize me?"

Feng Buran tilted his head, "What do you mean?"

"...At this moment, the person you are touching is me, not the little prince." Zhao Yongzhou gritted his teeth and said, looking at the person on his body with his big moist black eyes.

After being stunned for a moment, Feng Buran burst out laughing.He picked up Zhao Yongzhou's body and walked to the next room.There are many red silk gauzes piled up there, and there is a bed in the corner. The windows are hollowed out and carved with patterns of various shapes.The light from the front yard and the moonlight from the river behind both came in through the window, making the light and shadow on the bed uncertain.

The young man's body is very sensitive, even though Feng Buran's movements were very gentle and very coaxing, Zhao Yongzhou still resisted.He remembered something bad.Feng Buran noticed the young man's avoidance, he got up and fetched a jug of wine from outside the house, took a mouthful of it, lowered his head and separated Zhao Yongzhou's legs.

Sensing that the liquid slowly entered his body through Feng Buran's lips and tongue, Zhao Yongzhou trembled all over. He opened his eyes, and felt his body burning while struggling.Feng Buran unbuttoned the young man's robe, and his healthy skin was already glowing rosy under the flash of light and shadow.Such a method somewhat distracted Zhao Yongzhou's mind and made him emotional.Seeing that this method worked, Feng Buran turned his head and took another sip of wine, and did the same.

Not long after, the wine jar was half empty.

"... Enough... Enough..." Zhao Yongzhou's voice was full of tears.

Feng Buran laughed, and lightly placed his hand on the young man's slightly raised belly, and pressed it a little harder.Zhao Yongzhou screamed, clutching Feng Buran's sleeve, gasping for breath.

The wine flowed out of Zhao Yongzhou's body, dripping onto the bed and wet the quilt.The young man bit the back of his hand, so excited that he lost control.

Feng Buran had a wanton smile on his face, as if he was very satisfied with the young man's performance.Zhao Yongzhou's heart was full of bitterness, he pushed away Feng Buran who was on his waist, got up and ran out.

Unexpectedly, he made such a fuss, Feng Buran was a beat slower, and then ran out after him.

"What are you doing?" Feng Buran scolded the young man standing in front of the huge window.

Zhao Yongzhou turned around, tears rolled down his big eyes.

"Teacher, you never thought of me as someone you liked. You just played me off from the beginning, didn't you?"

"What are you talking about, stand there and don't move." Feng Buran walked over with sullen eyes.

Zhao Yongzhou took a step back and sat on the window sill.

Feng Buran paused, he decided to stabilize him first, sighed, and asked softly: "You child, what are you doing?"

"I'm not a child anymore." Zhao Yongzhou shook his head, "Teacher, I have always relied on my belief in you to live until now. Now I feel that I should not rely on you anymore."

The naked young man was sitting on the window sill, holding the edge tightly with his hands, behind him was the vast sky and the dark and turbulent moat.Feng Buran suddenly felt a tearing pain in his head, as if there were two forces tearing in his head, one was going east and the other was going west.One is about to burst out, but the other is desperately suppressing it.

"You come here first. I'll give you whatever you want." Feng Buran endured the severe pain and approached the young man.

"I want to meet the Holy Majesty and accept the official position and rewards I deserve."

"...I didn't give you enough?" His head was throbbing, and many forces collided with each other. Feng Buran felt the beast in his body screaming, about to break through the cage.

Zhao Yongzhou stared at the man stubbornly: "I want fame and wealth, a high official title, instead of being locked up in another courtyard... If I want to live like that, why don't I go back to the Heguan."

Feng Buran nodded, "I was wrong. You can go to meet the Holy Majesty and get everything you deserve. Well, come here."

He held out his hand to the young man.

Zhao Yongzhou is still uncompromising.

"What else?" Feng Buran asked.His right hand clenched into a fist, nails sinking into the flesh.Even so, his eyes are as gentle as the sunlight in late autumn, making people intoxicated.

Zhao Yongzhou lowered his head, avoiding the palpitating gaze: "I will go to see His Highness Prince Chen and accept the power of the Bai family in Lingnan as a backer."

Veins popped up on Feng Buran's forehead, and he roared angrily, "What's the benefit of you getting involved?!"

"If I don't stand on the opposite side of the teacher, I'm afraid I will never grow up." Zhao Yongzhou still buried his head, his voice was a little low, he didn't dare to face Feng Buran's anger directly.Especially in the current situation, if Feng Buran killed him right now, he wouldn't be surprised.

"I saw the letter that the teacher put in the book, the little prince wrote you a 'love letter'..." Zhao Yongzhou said in a low voice.

"You!!" Feng Buran walked over angrily, like a beast on the verge of collapse.

Zhao Yongzhou looked up at him, then smiled and fell down.

While his body was falling rapidly, he saw Feng Buran rushing to the window and suddenly stopped in his tracks.The emotion in the eyes changed suddenly, from anger, to shock, to panic.

Zhao Yongzhou completely sank to the bottom of the water, his heart was also soaked by the cold river water, and he was tied with heavy stones.Feng Buran stood upstairs, motionless.Through the fierce flowing water above his head, Zhao Yongzhou seemed to see the huge gap between him and Feng Buran.Like the Wangchuan River in hell, it is so wide and insurmountable.And he couldn't swim, and Feng Buran would never jump off.
