The East Palace, in the Prince's Mansion.

After the rain, it was sunny and the sun was shining.

The 15-year-old little prince Gu Yucheng squatted in front of the huge tiger cage with his cheeks on his back, staring at Meng Xu who was feeding the tiger meat with iron spikes: "Brother Yurong, I should feed it. How long have you been feeding it?"

"Your Highness, this tiger has a strong bite. Be careful not to injure your arm." Meng Xu withdrew the iron spike from the white tiger's mouth, and it hit the iron cage with a clang.

"I'm not a child anymore!" Xiao Yucheng ran over quickly, took the iron spike in Meng Xu's hand, and forked a large piece of lean beef from the big iron bucket beside him: "Let's talk , I caught this white velvet!"

"Yes, the last general's life was also saved by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Meng Xu walked around behind Yu Cheng, took the other's arms, and sent the iron spikes into the iron cage.

Smelling the smell of meat, the tiger opened its mouth greedily, avoided the piercing cone with its canine teeth, and tore off the beef in one fell swoop.

The white tiger's bite force was extremely strong, and the moment the beef fell off the iron thorn, Xiao Yucheng's whole body fell back. Fortunately, Meng Xu was holding his arm behind him, otherwise the young man's two soft arms would have been crushed. It's impossible to pull and dislocate.

"Hiss, you bite the white velvet lightly, do you know?" Xiao Yucheng held up the iron pick, frowning and said angrily.

The white tiger in the cage lifted its furry tiger paws to rest on its head, lowered its head and let out two muffled whimpers, as if expressing apology to Yu Cheng, the little master.

"That's good." Under the protection of Meng Xu's hand, Xiao Yucheng forked another piece of beef and put it into the iron cage. This time, the white tiger cooperated quite well, and obviously slowed down the movement of swallowing the meat, and lightened his strength: "Brother Yurong, what do you think I should give Brother Heng when he gets married? Yuqing and the others are still young. Among brothers of the same generation, only I and Brother Heng are about the same age."

"This..." Meng Xu held Xiao Yucheng's hand for a while, and finally said with apologetic eyes: "The last general has never sent a wedding congratulation to his biological brother, so he doesn't know what to give. "

"That's right, brother Yurong has always played with Cheng'er alone." Xiao Yucheng couldn't help but smile when he mentioned this.During these six or seven years, he and Meng Xu were inseparable.Meng Xu pampered him, loved him, took care of him, protected him, and occasionally taught him how to ride and shoot like his father, Gu Xiu. He was an excellent elder brother.He was also attached to this unrelated elder brother, and got close to him unreservedly: "Why don't I send the white velvet to Brother Heng when he gets married? It will save him from being bullied by Sister Meng Tong in the future."

"This is good. Why does His Highness the Crown Prince think that His Highness Heng will be bullied in the future?" Meng Xu asked puzzled.

"Brother Heng, he's obeying what Sister Meng Tong says now! Just like Uncle Liu Huang! If Sister Meng Tong becomes violent in the future, he has nowhere to hide, and he can even ride a white velvet to the East Palace to ask for help." Xiao Yucheng rubbed his chin, and analyzed seriously.

After listening to the little prince Yucheng's analysis, Meng Xu was obviously even more confused: "Although the last general of Queen Mengtong from Baekje has only seen her two or three times from a distance, she doesn't think she is a tough person. , it won’t mean that in the future, King Heng will be chased so that he can’t go home, right?”

"When I was young, I went to their village with Aunt Wu, and I saw women from several families chasing and beating their husbands. I asked Aunt Wu why, and Aunt Wu said that most women will change after they get married." Xiaoyu Chengruo Thoughtfully recalling the scene of his childhood, after much deliberation, he couldn't think of any serious meaning: "Forget it, I don't think so much. After the banquet at my grandmother's place on Duanyang Day, let's go to Zhuquefang together How is it? I heard that there are several new Lanzhu shops opened there, it must be great for us to go there to pick up some wedding celebrations with Brother Heng."

"Yes, at the end will obey."

"Brother Yurong, don't always say that you obey orders or not." Xiao Yurong stood upright in front of Meng Xu, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "My father never does this when no one is around. Talk to my father, don't do this when you are alone, I call you brother Yurong, you can call me Cheng'er, isn't it okay?"

"This..." Meng Xu hesitated for a moment, but he still didn't call out: "Your Highness, the general dare not..."

"Tch, what a disappointment." The little prince turned his head, hugged his shoulders and feigned anger: "I won't play with you in the future!"

"Your Highness!"

"You're kidding!" Xiao Yucheng turned around and hugged Meng Xu's neck affectionately: "Brother Yurong is so easy to lie."

***

A few days after Duanyang, a small group of bandits suddenly appeared on Lingnan Road.

I heard that it was a group of remnants of the old army who fled among the corpses when Nanzhao destroyed the country in the early years. They have been entrenched in the deep mountains of Lingnan Road for many years. More than [-] people, in the name of restoring Nanzhao and welcoming them back to the old master Ge Kanglangda who had been imprisoned in Bianjing, looted and harassed nearby villages and towns.

Originally, this kind of matter could only be resolved by the government soldiers under the jurisdiction of Lingnan Road. It was only because Dazhou had not had such a large-scale banditry for many years since it was changed to Yuan Zaisheng, so the local officials reported it according to the procedure. It was given to the Ministry of War, and then it was reported to the emperor Gu Xiu by the Ministry of War.

When the two monarchs and ministers saw this note, Gu Xiu just wanted to send the note back to the local government intact, and warned the local government with a letter attached by the Ministry of War. In the future, such trivial matters should not be written easily, otherwise the local officials will be punished for dereliction of duty. .

However, Han Mochu pressed down the booklet and said to the king: "The prince is an adult now and lacks experience, why don't you take this opportunity to let His Royal Highness lead the army to practice?"

As a result, the 15-year-old little prince Gu Yucheng was sent to the territory of Lingnan, and with [-] elite soldiers carefully selected by General Yun Jin, the frontier guard, set foot on the bandit suppression mission led by the first time. the road.

In fact, the stragglers who have wandered in the mountains for more than ten years, plus those hundreds of Kunlun slaves who even Zhou Wen can't explain clearly, how can they be the opponents of the well-equipped frontier army of the country and the dynasty?

On the day of the battle, the little prince wore the silver Zhaojin tiger-head battle armor and sat on the iron chariot used for commanding. Hearing the rumble of drums, his sword eyebrows were lightly clustered, and he said in a low voice: "General Meng, can you Ready?"

"Return to Your Highness, everything is ready, and we can launch an attack at any time." Meng Xu turned his horse's head around and clasped his fists on the horse's back as a military salute.

"Okay." The little prince nodded slightly, then looked ahead, and said loudly, "Soldiers! Go!"

Following the little prince's order, the vanguard general Meng Xu led a team of 300 people to charge ahead, and brought back a group of dark-skinned and scantily clad Kunlun slaves in less than an hour.

Seeing this, Xiao Yucheng, who was sitting on the roof of the chariot and his buttocks were still warm, quickly climbed down the steps beside the chariot, ran to Meng Xu in a few steps, and whispered in his ear, "Brother Yurong, what happened?"

"Returning to Your Highness, these Kunlun people were afraid of the noise, so they immediately surrendered when they saw Da Zhou's army." Meng Xu whispered back.

It turned out that just now those Kunlun slaves heard a few gunshots fired by the first team into the sky. The group of people threw away the wooden spears and spears in their hands, crouched on the spot trembling with their heads in their arms, and the long knives in the hands of the cavalrymen Not even a drop of blood was stained, and the charge was over.

These experienced frontier soldiers had never fought such a painless charge, and each of them came back with a Kunlun slave in a shambles. They clearly won the battle, but they didn't have half the joy of victory. It seems that even a hunt is not counted.

The bandit suppression battle led by the little prince for the first time ended in less than thirty hours. Twelve bandit leaders were captured alive, and the rest were either forced into the mountain stream or killed by a single blow. Hundreds of Kunlun slaves were appointed by the little prince, and filled into the frontier camp as handymen.

The bandits were defeated, and the frontier army had to return to the frontier to continue serving after two days of recuperation, and the little prince had to take the crown prince's warrant to inspect the place on behalf of the emperor, so that the people in the frontier could meet their future lord.

In the commander's camp at dusk.

Xiao Yucheng, who had been wearing heavy armor for five consecutive days, finally changed into comfortable pajamas, and lay lazily on the camp bed covered with thick felt: "Brother Yurong, hurry up and rub your arms with me, this armor is good Heavy."

Meng Xu was still in iron armor, half kneeling next to the little prince, his wrists were gently rubbed to relax his muscles and bones: "Your Highness has worked hard these past few days, but according to my Great Zhou military regulations, you must not remove your armor during war."

"How could I not know this? Brother Yurong, don't forget, I followed my father to play in the army when I was two years old. I am more familiar with Da Zhou's military regulations than you. It's just that I have never worn such a heavy weight before." A, now think about my father and Yafu, they slept wearing armor all year round during their expeditions." Xiao Yucheng closed his eyes and let Meng Xu move his sore wrists.

"Your Majesty and Taifu Han have always been strict with themselves, that's why the generals of the Zhou Dynasty can be sincerely convinced." Meng Xu said as he took off his military boots for Xiao Yucheng: "Does Your Highness want to take a bath? In the end, I can ask them to prepare some hot water."

"I am my father's son, and one day I will make these officers and soldiers respect me like my father." Xiao Yucheng thumped, turned over, and put his hands on Meng Xu's neck: "Brother Yurong, will you stay with Cheng'er all the time?"

"Yes, the general will be an official of the Crown Prince's mansion, so he will always be with His Highness the Crown Prince." Meng Xu put away his combat boots for Xiao Yucheng, and said sincerely.

"I'm not talking about your officials, I'm talking about whether you will always be with me? Accompany me on tour, accompany me in battle, and accompany me to be emperor in the future. When I am old and when I die, you will always be with me. "Xiao Yucheng got off the bed with bare feet and stood in front of Meng Xu.

"Your Highness." Meng Xu heard something strange in Yu Cheng's tone, and he nodded slowly in response: "I am a courtier of the Great Zhou, and I will be loyal to the Great Zhou for the rest of my life. Naturally, I will accompany you from birth to death. Your Highness."

"Brother Yurong is a fool." Xiao Yucheng stood in front of the kneeling Meng Xu, lowered his head almost to the forehead of the person: "Do you know, I like you very much. It's like brother Heng to sister Meng Tong Like that."

"No!" Meng Xu refused very simply, he took two steps back and straightened his body: "Your Highness, absolutely not!"

"Why? Why not?" Xiao Yucheng was taken by surprise by Meng Xu's fierce retreat.

"Your Highness...Your Highness..." Meng Xu pursed his lips and didn't know where to start: "Your Highness is the crown prince, and the final general is a courtier. No, absolutely no."

"Yafu and Fuhuang have spent half their lives together like this. Why can Yafu and Fuhuang be able to do it, but you and I can't?!" Gu Yucheng's young face was full of doubts and anger, and he held Meng Meng tightly. Preface's shoulders, expecting to get a satisfactory answer from him: "I like you in my heart, and I want to be with you. If you like me in your heart, why can't you?"

"The last general has no talent. It's not as good as Grand Tutor Han who can be as good as one thousand, and he can do everything. It's absolutely not enough for your highness to ascend the throne in the future." Meng Xu knelt on one knee, bowing his head to avoid Xiao Yucheng's fiery enthusiasm. His gaze: "So the last general can't bear it, can't bear the expectation of His Highness."

"You haven't even tried! Why do you say no! Or do you like women? If you like women, just tell me!" Gu Yucheng desperately shook Meng Xu's shoulders. Xiu and Han Mochu are beside each other, and they are used to the scene where these two fathers work hand in hand to create a prosperous world.In his eyes, Meng Xu was his Han Mochu, and it was only natural that they would join hands for the rest of their lives.

He never thought that Meng Xu would reject him, let alone reject him so simply.

"Your Highness is still young, these jokes will never be taken to heart, and I will be willing to follow His Highness as a courtier for the rest of my life..." Meng Xu's last words were slapped across the head and face by Xiao Yucheng broken.

"Get out! Get out! I don't want to see you again! Never again!" Gu Yucheng roared hysterically, smashing everything in sight

The 15-year-old prince Yucheng is far from the calmness and forbearance of his father-in-law when he was a teenager.

Although he was born without father and mother, in the past 15 years he has been carefully raised by Gu Xiu and Han Mochu, and he has been spoiled and loved by his aunt, uncle and other parents.Among brothers of the same age, he will always be the one who is favored the most.

He has been living peacefully and smoothly for the past 15 years. His world is too beautiful. All his thoughts have been carefully cared for in a smooth glass cover. He has not been baptized by any wind and rain. He knows that he is the prince of this country. No matter what he wants, he will go for it without hesitation.Now that the glass cover was cracked by Meng Xu, he realized that he couldn't bear the slightest twists and turns.

He was very clear about his thoughts on Meng Xu, this thought was so pure and persistent, why did it become a joke when it came out of his mouth? The word "Joke" made him sadder than killing him.

Meng Xu didn't leave, but knelt on one knee and endured the messy furnishings being thrown at him from above, some hitting the iron armor and some hitting the helmet.

His cheeks were extremely hot, and the roar of iron armor made his brain go blank. He couldn't say a word to argue for himself, and he could only let this young man who he regarded as the master and younger brother vent. All dissatisfaction.

He can't lie, can't tell that boy that the person he loves in his heart is a woman.He only knows that he is willing to dedicate everything he has to this dynasty, to his lord, and this kind of emotion has nothing to do with love.But when his little prince said that he liked him, his emotion suddenly became no longer pure. He was at a loss and astonished. a slap in the face.

He just wanted to guard him, guarding him without distractions.

He knew that the boy's feelings for him were precious, but the more he felt like this, the more he felt that he couldn't respond.

He wanted to wipe away the boy's tears as usual, then hug him on his knees, put him on his shoulders, take him for a horse race, and accompany him to fly a kite, so that he would smile at him again.

Or, if the boy cries for a while, it will be the same as before, and when he is angry, he will smile through his tears, hug him and say, "Brother Yurong is so stupid, I lied to you."

I don't know when, the young man shouted hoarsely, put away his tears, and said to him coldly: "Go out, from now on, my palace will only talk to you about the monarch and ministers."

The author has something to say:

The little prince, Glass, was heartbroken.
