Broken Iron Clothes

=====================

As dusk fell, Jiang Shiqing sat alone by the window, silent.

These two days, he thought about many things, from Gu Nanxing to Yi Qinchen, from Xu Guo to Lin Song, and was forced to recall the meeting with Xu Yixu nine years ago.He always felt that Xu Yixu was very dangerous, but if Xu Yixu was the one who had been hiding in the dark, then he deliberately revealed his identity in Xunzhen Zhai earlier, was it to show favor or had ulterior motives.

Jiang Shiqing thought about it, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, so he spread out a piece of paper to calm down by practicing calligraphy, but the nib of the pen was dipped in ink, but it stayed on the paper for a long time, and the ink seeped down the pen, gradually converging into a small drop hanging in the air. Dots of ink that do not fall.

"If you like it, it's better to be honest earlier."

What Gu Nanxing said to him that night popped into his mind inexplicably. He stared at a certain place and pondered over the words over and over again. His hand also moved slowly, and he unconsciously wrote a "Yuan" on the paper. "Character.

When he came back to his senses, he was slightly shocked by the thoughts he had vented on the paper, so he put down his pen, got up and took out the wooden box he had hidden earlier, looking at the spike pendant inside, he was stunned again.

Yuan Mucheng leaned against the door and looked at him for a long time. Seeing that he hadn't moved for a long time, he couldn't help knocking on the door frame and calling out, "Huaichuan?"

Jiang Shiqing's eyes trembled suddenly, he quickly picked up the paper on the table, stuffed it into the box indiscriminately, then closed the lid of the box, and said calmly, "When did you come here?"

Yuan Mucheng walked up to him, raised his finger on his forehead, and said, "What are you thinking, so engrossed."

Jiang Shiqing turned around and moved to the low table. After sitting down, he put the wooden box behind him and said, "The general suddenly came to the door. Could it be that the matter of the Imperial College is over?"

"It's not over for others," Yuan Mucheng walked over and sat down next to him, "but it's over for me."

"Tell me." Jiang Shiqing said.

"Have you ever heard of Xu Yixu?" Yuan Mucheng turned to face him, deliberately glanced behind him.

"Guozijian Xuezheng, Xu Bing's student." As he spoke, Jiang Shiqing lifted the hem of his clothes and covered the wooden box behind him.

Yuan Mucheng had no choice but to sit back honestly, and said, "Now that I have been promoted to be the Secretary of the Imperial Academy, I have the ability to climb higher. It's a pity that I and Brother Lu are two people who talk about death, otherwise I can be promoted even higher."

"So, yesterday the court was still lively?"

Yuan Mucheng propped his head up, sneered and said: "It's lively, isn't it lively? With Xu Bing at the side to help, Si Ye and Hu Zang are responsible for the supervisor's troubles. As a result, Si Ye was dismissed and replaced by Xu Yixu. But I'm also curious, where did Xu Yixu come from, if Xu Bin is held in his hands as a saber, then he really has some skills in deceiving people."

Now that Xu Yixu's identity has been confirmed, Jiang Shiqing is unavoidably worried, because this person not only recognizes him, but also probably remembers that his name is Lu Xianfeng. She could guess that Xu Yixu wanted to bring down Feng Shi, but she couldn't guess which step he wanted to take.

Thinking about it, Jiang Shiqing frowned slightly, and said: "Xu Yixu is not an easy person. It only took one year to win Xu Bin's favor, and four years to achieve a successful career. If it's not a talent, it's a means. Now you still have Hold the handle in his hand, be careful."

Dissatisfaction suddenly rose in Yuan Mucheng's heart. He didn't expect Jiang Shiqing to be able to tell so many details about the person he just mentioned here today, and then recalled Xu Yixu's appearance. When Jiang Shiqing said something to tease him before, he was even more irritable.

"His features are pretty, really eye-catching," Yuan Mucheng's tone was thought-provoking, and he could sip sourness from it, "Isn't that why Vice-Master Jiang went to investigate him?"

These words sounded familiar, Jiang Shiqing thought for a while before he remembered what he had said, and couldn't help laughing: "The general also eats this kind of old vinegar, doesn't it taste too sour?"

"No matter how sour it is, you fed it with your own hands," Yuan Mucheng said, "But I didn't kill Yan Lingyong and Cui Chengke, so what excuse can I have?"

Jiang Shiqing turned to look at him, and said: "It seems that I am a living person, and I am not enough for him to threaten you."

"That's enough," a smile rose, and the unhappiness in Yuan Mucheng's heart quickly faded away. He thought again in a blink of an eye, and moved towards Jiang Shiqing, "So..."

Jiang Shiqing was forced by the man's sudden approach and could only lean back. When he couldn't retreat any more, Yuan Mucheng suddenly held his waist, and took out the wooden box from under the hem of his clothes with the other hand.

When Jiang Shiqing came to his senses, Yuan Mucheng had already got up and hid to the side.

Jiang Shiqing suppressed his embarrassment and said in a deep voice, "Bring it."

Yuan Mucheng didn't intend to return the things at all, he fiddled with the wooden box and said, "You've been hiding it since I entered the door, what is so shameful?"

Seeing this, Jiang Shiqing quickly stepped forward to grab it, and Yuan Mucheng immediately raised his hand to let him grab it.Jiang Shiqing clenched his teeth in annoyance, but Yuan Mucheng leaned closer and said frivolously, "I'll pay you back once I kiss you."

Jiang Shiqing sneered: "Do you think that because you are taller than me, I have nothing to do with you?"

After saying that, he stepped on the chair, but just as he touched the body of the box, Yuan Mucheng hugged him around the waist and turned around.

Yuan Mucheng raised his head and kissed his Adam's apple, and said with a smile, "If you miss Mr. Yuan's hug, just say it."

Jiang Shiqing patted him on the shoulder vigorously, and said angrily, "Put me down."

Yuan Mucheng stared at him motionlessly, without any sympathy, so Jiang Shiqing could only lighten his tone and said, "I'm not joking with you, give it back to me."

"I'm not joking with you either," Yuan Mucheng put him down lightly, pointed to his lips, and said, "I will do what I say."

Jiang Shiqing knew that he was a scoundrel, but he would rather follow Yuan Mucheng to make trouble than being exposed face to face, so he reached out and pulled Yuan Mucheng's lapel, and gently touched his lips.Yuan Mucheng gave a smirk, suddenly pushed the man against the table with all his strength, and kissed the man fiercely on the lips.

Yuan Mucheng chased too closely, Jiang Shiqing supported the table with both hands so as not to fall backwards.The white paper under the palm was crumpled because of this, and the paper and pens on the table were already in a mess.

Yuan Mucheng rubbed his wrist with one free hand, then slowly slid his hand to Jiang Shiqing's lower back in a kiss of forgetfulness, opened the lid of the box at the right time, and took out all the contents inside.

Jiang Shiqing realized the strangeness, pushed the person away abruptly, and said angrily, "You!"

Yuan Mucheng unfolded the white paper with the word "Yuan" written on it, looked at it carefully and said triumphantly: "Which lover is we Huaichuan thinking about, why are you so shy?"

Jiang Shiqing pulled the paper, stretched out his hand and said, "Give it back to me."

"How can there be any reason to give something away and then return it?" Yuan Mucheng put the spike pendant in his palm and looked at it.

Jiang Shiqing's ears turned red: "Who said this thing is for you?"

Yuan Mucheng winked at the paper in his hand, and said with a smile, "If you lie, you have to think about how to get it back."

Jiang Shiqing was at a loss for a while, only felt his ears buzzing, and didn't know what else to do besides standing where he was. Yuan Mucheng sensed his emotions, so he put away the pendant, stepped forward and hugged him into his arms, holding him with his chin. Rubbing against his shoulder socket, greedily and obsessively rubbing it in.

"Huai Chuan, what are you worried about? Am I not being honest enough?"

Yuan Mucheng withdrew his head, cupped Jiang Shiqing's face with both hands, looked at him sincerely, and said, "Jiang Huaichuan, I like you, I love you, I must, can you give me some response, if you refuse, give me A plausible reason, if you like it, accept me frankly, even if I am really self-indulgent, don't take me as a joke every time, okay?"

Yuan Mucheng pleaded so, and put all his pride at Jiang Shiqing's feet.Jiang Shiqing didn't dodge any more, but just looked up at him, with complex emotions in his eyes.

Yuan Mucheng didn't wait for an answer for a long time, and the joy he had just now picked up along with his heart.

"Do you think I will give up if I don't get a response?" Yuan Mucheng became more and more restless while waiting, and simply reached out and pinched his chin, even the eyes that looked at him showed paranoia for the first time, "As long as you don't give me an answer, I will haunt you until death. Even if you go to the western region, I will tie you by your side. If you don't care, I will let you hate me, even if you have a serious grudge and become an enemy." , even if you want to stab me to death and bite me to death, I will lock you up every day and every night, as long as you can always remember me, I can do anything."

"What if you can't tie me up and lock me up?" Jiang Shiqing asked.

Yuan Mucheng stretched out a finger and rubbed Jiang Shiqing's lower lip, his voice became hoarse: "If we can't keep it, we all don't want to survive. I can do these things."

Yuan Mucheng was too afraid of love. He had lost Wen Yu's love, Yuan Mujie's protection, and Liu Zhaoyu's love all these years, and he had been trapped by Yucheng and Yuzhouying to the point of mania.He couldn't tear off the iron chain around his neck, and even thought about hitting his head on the iron bars of the cage to die.

If you can't get it, you will simply destroy it together.

This kind of crazy thought once made him close to collapse, and then he worked hard to settle this kind of madness in order to take responsibility, to compromise and endure, but he didn't know when this excessive depression would suddenly overturn his rationality.

Until he put Jiang Shiqing in his heart, it seemed that he regained the right to release himself.But as soon as that person leaves, it seems that all reason and madness will be out of balance.

He had tasted all the tenderness from Jiang Shiqing, but every time he thought Jiang Shiqing could stay by his side, that person slipped away from him again.They talked sweet words, but they were still unknown.

Today, when he saw that piece of paper and understood Jiang Shiqing's intentions but didn't understand why he didn't want to admit it, he really wanted to go crazy for that person.

"Jiang Huaichuan," Yuan Mucheng tried to restrain his madness, closed his eyes against Jiang Shiqing's forehead, and said, "I want you to love me, or hate me to death, but you can't ignore me, understand?"

Feeling that Yuan Mucheng was about to lose control, Jiang Shiqing was moved. He closed his eyes and calmed down for a moment, then whispered, "What do you like about me?"

Yuan Mucheng seemed to have grasped a glimmer of hope, opened his eyes and looked at him carefully, and gradually regained clarity in his mind.He smiled and said, "You smell very good."

Jiang Shiqing slapped him on the shoulder: "Be serious."

Yuan Mucheng supported his shoulder and said, "The spike you gave me is very beautiful."

Jiang Shiqing felt that he was joking again, and turned to leave. Yuan Mucheng grabbed his shoulder and said in a deep voice, "I'm serious."

He held up Jiang Shiqing's face again, looked straight into those eyes, and said, "I want to find a refuge. You pinpointed the timing and came at just the right time. I can't get over my desire for armored weapons in Yuzhou Camp." , you use those half-hearted words to provoke me, which is exactly what I want. I am a seductive commoner, and you have a deceptive face, which is very popular with me. I am a wolf, and you are a snake. It's the best fit together."

He lightly pecked Jiang Shiqing's lips, and said seriously, "Are these reasons enough?"

Jiang Shiqing looked back at him, a smile gradually formed in his eyes, Yuan Mucheng was a little overjoyed with joy, and tentatively asked: "What about you, do you have something to say to me?"

Jiang Shiqing raised his finger and gently drew a half circle along his front neck, finally tapped a point on his supraclavicular socket, and said softly: "I also think that the wolf teeth look good on you."

Yuan Mucheng raised his chin, and said four words slowly: "Say it again."

Jiang Shiqing replied unhurriedly: "Just say it once."

Yuan Mucheng held his waist tightly with one hand, arched the bridge of his nose with the tip of his nose, and said affectionately, "Say you?"

Jiang Shiqing deliberately said: "No, tell me."

Yuan Mucheng smiled lowly: "Don't say?"

"Do not……"

Before he finished speaking, Yuan Mucheng contained all the churning love in his heart and kissed him.

He curled Jiang Shiqing's tongue in the rubbing of lips and teeth, more tender and tender than ever before, but he felt pity for this man, but he couldn't help but want to take his mind and seduce his soul.

Jiang Shiqing curled the fingertips on his back even tighter, and kissed him back in this legitimate intimacy.Yuan Mucheng was so overjoyed that he was almost out of breath, so he simply picked him up, put him down on the table, and entangled him more wantonly.

The two hearts were beating violently across the adjacent chest cavity. In the echoing heartbeats, Yuan Mucheng kissed the scar on Jiang Shiqing's right neck with nostalgia, and said over and over again in the gap: "...Huaichuan, I very happy."

Jiang Shiqing stroked his hair, responded to his enthusiasm, and was composing words and sentences in his mind, thinking about how to confess the fact that he was about to die from poison. It could be seen that Yuan Mucheng was so happy, but he couldn't bear to use these words to hit him at this moment.

It would be good to make him happy for one more moment.

Joy splashed in Yuan Mucheng's body, getting higher and higher, but it also gave rise to a sense of tension, worrying about gains and losses. He was worried that it was just another illusion caused by his own brain fever, so he put his hands on Jiang Shiqing's heart, staring at Jiang Shiqing. His eyes confirmed again: "Is there me here?"

Jiang Shiqing caressed his eyebrows and eyes with his hands, just like Lu Xianfeng sketched his outline under the backlight 16 years ago.

Yuan Mucheng would not know that they had met a long time ago, and they would not know that his nostalgia for Yuan Mucheng was even deeper than Yuan Mucheng's for him.

"With you, but..." Jiang Shiqing said.

"But what?" Yuan Mucheng asked urgently.

Jiang Shiqing made fun of him, and smiled: "No but."

Yuan Mucheng took a bite of his neck in retaliation, and held him in his arms relentlessly, for fear that he would run away and break.

At this time, it is a good night, the lamp is not sleeping, and the lover is embracing each other.Jiang Shiqing tied the pendant for him, and then stroked the mace hanging around his neck, leaving the residual warmth of his fingertips on it, as well as the half-sentenced words——

"But Yuan Mucheng, hell is too dark, you are suitable to stay in the human world."
