Brother, did you confess today?

Zhu Xuguang ran all the way, even when he hugged Xu Xiangfei, his chest rose and fell a little, and his heavy breathing hit the neck of the person in his arms, making it itchy.

His embrace is hot, although it is still cold in the spring, but it seems that the fire in his heart is transmitted to the other party through his clothes. Xu Xiangfei is not a shy person, and his ears are red from the heat at this time, but he never refuses Zhu Xuguang also hugged her back, gently rubbing Zhu Xuguang's cheek.

The two just greeted each other, and there was nothing more to say, and there was no need to say more. A hug was enough to express their thoughts.

Zhu Xuguang really wanted to hug him, or do something more extreme, but felt sorry for him, and just wanted to hug his senior brother gently, for fear that he would be hurt.

Xu Xiangfei quietly let him hug him for a while, and after hearing Zhu Xuguang's breathing calmed down, he put his hand on the other's chest and pushed, "Okay, let's talk in the room."

After all, he is outside, so he needs face.

Xu Xiangfei led him into his room, his feet were much lighter, and he was still in the mood to joke: "Just now I went out for a stroll, thinking of you, thinking that when I will live alone, alas, I am so lonely and pitiful, I didn't expect you to die in the blink of an eye. coming."

The words were not straightforward, but Zhu Xuguang bent his eyes when he heard it. Isn't this just saying that he misses him?

"I originally wanted to go with Zhao Junshi and the others, but I felt that it was meaningless. I have achieved everything I wanted. After returning to Beijing, I will wait for the emperor to issue an order, and my father's old case will be closed."

Zhu Xuguang finished his thoughts in a few words, "So I'll come here first."

Running fast, traveling day and night, he just wanted to see Xu Xiangfei a few days earlier, he was already spoiled by the company of more than ten years, and the separation of several months was unbearable.

Zhu Xuguang said lightly, "Brother, it's finally over."

His life experience, his resentment and struggles are finally over, and from then on, he is just Zhu Xuguang.

Xu Xiangfei felt distressed when he heard it: "Okay, it's faster than you and I thought before, and everyone is happy... It's just that the capital is not a good place to go. If you make up your mind, you have to speak well when you are in the emperor."

The new emperor was suspicious. He revealed a lot of secrets in his conversation with Xu Xiangfei. Xu Xiangfei wanted to cover his ears and not listen, but he couldn't listen.

"I see."

Fortunately, after entering the courtyard, the Hou's mansion was empty, leaving only a small number of people to take care of Yue Yu. Xu Xiangfei didn't like others to serve him, so he only lived by himself, so the courtyard was also empty.

Seeing that Zhu Xuguang was exhausted, he felt sorry for the other person who had been on the road all night. He just wanted to bring him into the house and have a good sleep, but he didn't think that Zhu Xuguang seemed to have misunderstood something. He looked around, hesitated, and hugged him when he entered the house. The passionate kiss came down, which made Xu Xiangfei stunned for a moment.

The two have long been used to each other's existence, even before Xu Xiangfei himself could react, he was already responding to each other's intimacy, which greatly encouraged Zhu Xuguang, who was wandering in his mind, the moist and hot kiss deepened deeper and deeper, and his arms tightly wrapped around the person, Pushing back, it slams right into the door.

Xu Xiangfei caressed his face and rubbed it lightly, as if obeying the sudden enthusiasm of his junior brother, but while being kissed, he stroked his side face and ears with his hands, and finally reached the flushed neck.

The gentle touch slowly calmed down Zhu Xuguang's restlessness, and gradually became gentle, from a fierce deep kiss to a light pecking kiss, after thinking about it, he pulled it away, took Xu Xiangfei's hand that was touching him, and kissed Curled fingertips.

Xu Xiangfei was amused: "You really..."

Zhu Xuguang took his hand and rubbed it on his face: "Brother, do you miss me?"

"...You're talking nonsense again." Xu Xiangfei said helplessly, "Go and rest first, you're coming back first, the emperor still has to report to the emperor... Coincidentally, I will let you see Xiaoyu at night."

Zhu Xuguang obediently let him arrange, and was pushed to the bed by the other party to cover the quilt. Xu Xiangfei sat on the edge of the bed, patted his face with a smile: "Senior brother is here with you, go to sleep."

The longing was soothed, and the drowsiness also followed. Zhu Xuguang closed his eyes, still thinking that it would be inconvenient to live in the Hou's mansion, why not rent a yard before leaving the capital?

The emperor must give some rewards, so there will be money...

After thinking a lot in a daze, Zhu Xuguang fell into a deep sleep, Xu Xiangfei was so amused to see it, he lowered his head and kissed him lightly on the lips, got up and found a book casually, and opened it by the bed with his face propped up.

This book is about a resentful couple, childhood sweethearts, who were noisy when they were young, and fell in love with each other when they were young. Elegy left.

Seeing it, Xu Xiangfei felt very uncomfortable, thinking how he was so unlucky to have such a book, and lightly touched the last page of the book with his fingertips.

"This life is over..."

……

"This life is over, and it's time for me to go."

It was like a dream, his eyes seemed to be covered by fog, the figure was distorted and blurred, and the surrounding was a vast expanse of whiteness. Zhu Xuguang vaguely felt that he was in a dream, but when he lowered his head and saw the sword in his hand, he was taken aback for a moment.

In his hand is his own Chihe Sword, he will not admit his mistake, but this sword seems to have been used for decades, and it seems that he has met a master who doesn't care about it. It is the same, only a few threads are tangled together, barely hanging on the sword.

Zhu Xuguang felt uncomfortable. He cherishes the sword the most, and he wipes it when he has nothing to do. Seeing that Xu Xiangfei didn't wipe his sword very often, he took it and wiped it together.

The Red Crane Sword meant a lot to him, seeing the sword become like this, even if he knew it was a dream, he still felt distressed.

He clenched the sword tightly, put it in front of his eyes for a closer look, and there was a voice beside him.

"I remember that you didn't treat this sword like this before."

Zhu Xuguang was stunned for a moment, looked up, and said Uncle Nan was choked in his throat, and said inexplicably: "The red crane follows me."

"You..." Uncle Nan was also annoyed by these words, "Can't you let go?! It's been so many years, is love so important to you?!"

What is this saying?Zhu Xuguang didn't quite understand, but he went on to say: "Everyone has things that they can't forget, and love is not that important, but I'm done with it in this life, and if I have nothing to worry about, I can only be entangled in love for the rest of my life."

"You..." Uncle Nan sighed for a long time, the corners of his eyes were much more wrinkled, and he was more than ten years older than what Zhu Xuguang saw. Even his own voice was much heavier, and he was no longer in his twenties. time sound.

"Uncle Nan, you don't need to persuade me. I haven't delayed major events because of love these years. I have rehabilitated my grievances and revived the general's mansion. I have achieved my wish... It's just that the capital is mine, but my family is ruined. I can't stay here .”

"Don't think that I don't know what you want to do!" Uncle Nan roared, but suddenly choked up for some reason, but turned around immediately to prevent Zhu Xuguang from seeing his embarrassment, "You, you and your master, your old friend, also And my uncle who didn't do well...why bother?"

He didn't understand why Zhu Xuguang couldn't let go, why it had been almost 20 years, but he was still attached to a person who was no longer there, even if he could see a bright future ahead at a glance, he suddenly withdrew and wanted to leave the prosperous world.

"But if I don't have a brother, I don't have a master, let alone an old friend..." Zhu Xuguang always felt that something was wrong when he heard what he said, but he could only continue listening to the conversation in his dream, "I know what my brother wants, Uncle Nan , I have lived according to his thoughts all these years, sometimes I feel that I have let go, sometimes... I really want to forget him. "

"But how long can you deceive yourself and others? Uncle Nan knows this better than me. Everyone in the world has their own pursuits. All I want is to wander the rivers and lakes with my brother..."

Zhu Xuguang looked down at his sword, "I know that my brother doesn't like my murderous nature, and I know that he doesn't want me to be buried in hatred... I have already done it, now, I should go to him."

"I kept him waiting too long."

Uncle Nan stopped persuading, but sighed again: "I... regret it a little."

If he had been more cruel back then and hadn't left Zhu Xuguang in Changning, would it be better now?

Or maybe he wasn't so heartless and simply let Zhu Xuguang let go of the past and just live a good life, wouldn't it be better?

"You don't need to regret it, I just..." Zhu Xuguang thought for a while, but he couldn't think of a better reason. He never spoke, so he was silent for a while, and just said: "Take care."

The white mist was vast, and Zhu Xuguang seemed to have slept for a long time, and it seemed that it was only for a moment. He felt that his whole body was getting colder and colder, and his feet had turned into soft soil, and the surrounding wind was noisy, hitting the branches.

When he opened his eyes again, he realized that he was walking on the snow. The dazzlingly bright snow made his eyes hurt, and he only remembered the unpleasant experience, but he didn't stop on his feet, and continued walking with.

There are snow mountains in the distance, and snow fields under the feet. Occasionally, you can meet thickly wrapped pedestrians, but if you go deeper into the snow mountains, there are few people, only a few black crows fly by.

Zhu Xuguang remembered this, and it was precisely because of this memory that he resisted even more, wanting to wake up from the dream.

He won't feel pain for a dream, it's just a dream, he remembers that his senior brother is guarding him, and he also remembers that they will soon return to the past, but they will be more relaxed than before, no longer bear hatred, no longer worry about the past The road is long.

But his feet became heavier and heavier. Zhu Xuguang saw that he came to an extremely familiar place, and also saw that he was carrying not only the Chihe Sword, but also the clear water that hadn't been sheathed for more than ten years.

The snow was falling even harder, but Zhu Xuguang didn't seem to notice it, he just slowly squatted down, and his hands with red knuckles from the cold lightly touched the snow, as if he was worried about disturbing the people who slept here.

"Brother, I'm here to accompany you."

He will live well, will grow old in this snow field, fulfill the wish of the man who gave his life to each other, and then look forward to meeting each other in the dream, and if he is lucky, make an appointment in the next life.

……

When Zhu Xuguang woke up again, the sky had already darkened, and the chaotic dream finally affected him, he just remembered shaking his head when he sat up, then leaned to the side, dazed in a daze.

There were no candles in the room, and it was dark, so it was even more breathless, making it impossible to wake up.

He was still a little confused, staring at the window with only a glimmer of light, the door was gently pushed open, Xu Xiangfei stepped in, saw a person sitting on the bed, immediately smiled, fell straight on the bed, and then was caught by Zhu Xuguang in a hurry, Slowly hugged in my arms.

Xu Xiangfei grabbed his face fiercely, but when he felt his hand was wet and cold, he was startled, and quickly wiped Zhu Xuguang's nose and under his eyes.

"What's going on, have a nightmare? Why did you return the golden beans?"

"It should be." Zhu Xuguang realized that his face was cold, "I don't know either."

"I don't know if I've had a nightmare or not?" Xu Xiangfei was helpless, but he didn't want to explore what Zhu Xuguang had in his dream. He knew that his younger brother was a person who only focused on the present, and he didn't believe in gods, ghosts, Buddhas, past lives and future lives.

A dream won't bother him too much.

Xu Xiangfei touched his body, took out a handkerchief, and carefully pressed it on Zhu Xuguang's face, "Okay, Xiaoyu is back, and I'm waiting for you to have dinner together, don't you know how powerful Xiaoyu is now... ..."

Zhu Xuguang finally came back to his senses, and slowly hugged him tightly, "Yes."

He won't leave his house because of a dream, he was comforted by Xu Xiangfei and passed away, got up to tidy up and went to the front yard with Xu Xiangfei, Yue Yu was already waiting, and came to greet him as soon as he came, shouting affectionately: "Big Brother!"

Zhu Xuguang also nodded: "Long time no see."

"Brother Zhu, I didn't go to the coronation ceremony earlier, I just asked someone to send the gift. Now I really want to say a belated congratulations."

Yue Yu rolled his eyes, looked at Xu Xiangfei quietly, then turned his head to look at Zhu Xuguang, he was actually a little embarrassed, some people at his age were already married, but he was still not in love.

Xu Xiangfei was the first to make the decision in Yue's family, but it was with his junior brother. If it was in the capital, it would probably have been condemned by the population, but in the Jianghu, it is more open-minded.

Not to mention that Xu Xiangfei is his elder brother, Yue Yu would be happy to see him, so that he won't point annoyingly.

The few people didn't care much about their appetites, and they ate simple food. When they were about to finish eating, Yue Yu slapped his head and announced suddenly: "Brother, I should not be able to stay in this Hou's mansion in the future. I will go out later. Jianfu, brother and brother Zhu, come with me."

Zhu Xuguang and Xu Xiangfei looked at each other, and said: "It's a happy housewarming, we will go there naturally, but I also have an old place to go, and I want to rent a yard with your elder brother in the future."

"Ah..." Yue Yu looked at Xu Xiangfei pitifully, and wanted to keep the elder brother, but the hard-hearted elder brother chose to refuse.

"Okay, you're busy too, so you can't take care of us every time, can you? I wish you and I hope that elder brother is fine, and it's better to live outside, so as not to let some people gossip."

Zhu Xuguang is the son of General Chang, and his birth mother is the princess, so he has a sense of relatives of the emperor. Yue Yu is now the new emperor's confidant. stir up trouble.

Yue Yu actually knew this too, and just wanted to live with Xu Xiangfei, so he held his hand and said, "Then elder brother must visit me often, and when I am free, I will take him to visit the capital."

"When you're free, why don't you just take Big Brother for a stroll?"

Yue Yu looked at Zhu Xuguang.

Xu Xiangfei smiled: "Did you forget your second brother?"

"Second brother?" Yue Yu thought for a while, and then suddenly realized that the new emperor's success all the way is inseparable from the good help of the Ye family's water transportation and shipping.

Yue Yu was even happier. Although he had conflicts with Ye Qi's ideas before, they were all a family, so why didn't they want to see each other for so long?

"It's great." Yue Yu rolled his eyes, "We can meet again."

I'm afraid he won't be able to leave Beijing in a short time, so he is naturally happy to see his family.

If his innocent appearance is seen by his subordinates who have scolded him so badly recently, he will probably vomit three liters of blood. With this Master Xiaoyue, he wants to catch him and scold him to death outside. He is a good boy at home!

When Uncle Nan, Junshi Zhao, Lixuan and others entered the capital, the common people lined the road to welcome them, and they rode tall horses, immersed in cheers.After Zhu Xuguang entered the palace ahead of time to meet the new emperor, he also waited for them to enter the capital, and rode through the streets together. Looking at the cheering crowd, he was suddenly excited.

When my father came to Beijing, I'm afraid it was the same way that thousands of people admired him...

Because General Qi still needs to be stationed at the border, the new emperor specially approved him not to return to Beijing, but to come to Beijing for rewards in the next year, so of course the protagonists of this celebration banquet were Zhu Xuguang and his party.

As usual, the new emperor rewarded the group of people who came in, played music and danced.

The new emperor toasted and drank, and rewarded the meritorious deeds. Lixuan was a young talent, and he was directly named General Xuanwei. The young man quickly knelt down to thank him, with joy in his eyes that could not be concealed. Military division Zhao was still his military division, He was also given good land and silver taels, and only Zhu Xuguang was left kneeling on the spot.

"The unjust case of General Chang Da is a matter of great regret to me. I ordered the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Criminal Justice to thoroughly investigate the case of General Chang Da. Those who are involved must not be let go, and there must be no mistakes!"

Then the new emperor looked at Zhu Xuguang again, "The Chang family has made great contributions to me. The Chang family wished Xu Guang great intelligence, great military exploits, and generous gifts. He was specially named Marquis of Dingle, rewarded with a thousand acres of fertile land, ten thousand taels of gold, and knowledge of cloth." car……"

Zhu Xuguang said in a deep voice: "Thank you, my emperor, for your generous gift."

But everyone heard something from this reward, Lixuan is the real General Xuanwei, but Zhu Xuguang is just an idler, and there is nothing other than a thorough investigation of General Chang.

The courtiers had their own thoughts, and their faces were still warm, but their curiosity about Zhu Xuguang dissipated a little, which was expected by Zhu Xuguang. He sat in his seat and lightly sipped a glass of sake.

He had already discussed carefully with the new emperor before, adding an official to the rank was not what Zhu Xuguang wanted. The Chang family's glory had already returned, and Zhu Xuguang was unwilling to stay in the capital. The new emperor only gave him an idle position as a reward. enough.

But Zhu Xuguang pondered over his rewards, and he was a little satisfied, these silver taels should be enough.

He and his senior brother will be able to play around happily in the future.
