Broken Iron Clothes

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

Jiang Shiqing's heart tightened, and he asked, "Why did you say that suddenly?"

"Yesterday when Xu Yixu came to the Governor's Mansion and saw that I was wearing spikes, my expression was different." The smile on Yuan Mucheng's face faded again, and he said, "Other people can't see it, but I can see it."

After this incident yesterday, Yuan Mucheng was smacking at Xu Yixu's expression and tone all night, and he had to break down every sentence into words to ponder. After daytime, he took half a day off with Lu Tianrui and went to Jiangzhai I went there but found no one, so I came to Huimei Courtyard according to the content on the note.

Right now, he didn't want to talk anymore, and after following Jiang Shiqing's gaze for a moment, he asked, "Huaichuan, did he see you later?"

Jiang Shiqing was instantly relieved. He originally thought that what Yuan Mucheng wanted to question was about Tan Ningxue. Now that this matter has not been revealed yet, and there is nothing he can't say between Xu Yixu and him, he said bluntly: " When I was buying a pendant in Xunzhenzhai that day, he deliberately came over to test me, so I met him once."

Yuan Mucheng looked closely at his eyes and asked, "That's all?"

Jiang Shiqing said: "I also spent a few days with him when I was in distress a few years ago. Apart from that, there is nothing else."

"Get along?" Yuan Mucheng narrowed his eyes slightly. Hearing these two words made him feel very uncomfortable, and made his fingers tense up. "How do you get along? Eat and live together, sleep together in the same bed?"

Seeing him jealous, Jiang Shiqing suppressed a smile, but said to him in a bad way: "Guess."

Yuan Mucheng knew that he did it on purpose, but he was still covered with a sour smell.Unbearable jealousy, he lowered his eyes to look at the man's neck exposed in front of his eyes, impulsively wanted to hold that throat, leave his own teeth marks on it, and then lead Jiang Shiqing to beg for mercy.

But just as his gaze passed over the scar on Jiang Shiqing's right neck, he suddenly remembered what Zhong Dingshan had said to him.He clearly remembered every detail about Jiang Shiqing in those words, and he also remembered that Zhong Dingshan said that after he brought Jiang Shiqing to meet Gu Nanxing in Yingzhou, he even saved a child.

"Did you give him an apple, and then he pestered you?" Yuan Mucheng said slowly.

Jiang Shiqing was a little surprised: "Where did you hear that?"

Yuan Mucheng approached calmly, and said with a smile, "Guess."

"I guess someone's teeth are itching right now," Jiang Shiqing stretched out his wrist and said, "Why don't you bite me again to vent your anger?"

Yuan Mucheng grasped that fair wrist, then stared at Jiang Shiqing's eyes, leaned down slightly, and opened his mouth to bite on it.

He didn't use any force, and the tips of his teeth only barely rested on the flesh.Seeing Jiang Shiqing's slightly twitching eyebrows after being deceived, he let go of his mouth in satisfaction, then turned the man's wrist in one direction, and kissed the slightly pulsating artery.

"I should lock you up and let me watch you for the rest of your life." Yuan Mucheng stared at him covetously.

Jiang Shiqing smiled: "Are you just pointing at me as a bully?"

"I just want to bully you." Yuan Mucheng clamped Jiang Shiqing's wrists and pressed them on his lower back, then leaned over and bit his lower lip lightly.

The skirt of the middle coat was a little unraveled, Yuan Mucheng stared at the skin that the man had unintentionally exposed, his Adam's apple kept rolling, he rubbed his lips against his neck and collarbone as if nothing, and then slid down the skirt, The slightly hot breath swept over the skin lightly, making Jiang Shiqing's whole body numb.

"You belong to me, Yuan Mucheng, everywhere." Yuan Mucheng said impatiently.

Jiang Shiqing woke up not long ago, and being teased by him, he couldn't stand it, so he raised his foot to touch him, and said, "Itchy, don't do it."

Yuan Mucheng laughed, then stopped moving, raised his head and said inexplicably, "I want it too."

"What do you want?" Jiang Shiqing asked.

Yuan Mucheng mouthed him, "Ping, Guo."

Right now, Yuan Mucheng's appearance looks very much like a son of a bitch who came here to fight for favor after being left out in the cold.

Jiang Shiqing couldn't help stretching out his finger to lift the pendant around his neck, pulled him closer, and said, "Why, the general is still jealous?"

"It's so sore." Yuan Mucheng reached out to help Jiang Shiqing brush away the long hair stuck to the back of his neck, put his thumb on the back of his neck, and rubbed it up and down, "Are you still coming to coax me?"

Hearing this, Jiang Shiqing smiled lightly and took his pendant, pulled him closer little by little, and then kissed him on the lips.

"Why do you want me to coax you like a child?" Jiang Shiqing said.

"One shot is not enough," Yuan Mucheng was unusually carefree, pulling Jiang Shiqing's legs, dragging him closer, then leaning against his body, cheekily asking for a kiss, said, "Continue."

Jiang Shiqing leaned forward, and at the moment of approaching, suddenly turned his face away, leaned into his ear and smiled, "I won't make trouble with you."

After saying that, he pushed the person away, and when he was about to jump off the table, he was pushed back.

"Where are you going?" Yuan Mucheng held him in his arms.

"Changing clothes," Jiang Shiqing looked at the sky and said, "It's time to go back. If the time comes, sir, they can't wait and come to find me."

Only then did Yuan Mucheng let him go. Jiang Shiqing stood in front of the mirror and put on clothes layer by layer. When he lowered his head to straighten his belt, a pair of powerful arms wrapped around his waist.

Yuan Mucheng hugged him from behind, covered his cold back with his warm palm, then pulled the belt from his hand, and carefully adjusted it for him.

"Huaichuan." Yuan Mucheng whispered in his ear.

Jiang Shiqing slightly turned his face to look at him, but Yuan Mucheng kissed him on the temple with a low smile, and said, "That night there was a clever and wicked handsome young man who seduced me like this."

The sense of deja vu familiarity was aroused, and Jiang Shiqing then remembered that rainy night, when the two embraced and sorted their clothes, this was the scene.

"Really," Jiang Shiqing pretended to be stupid and said in a daze, "Then is he hooked?"

"I was hooked, but he ran away later." Yuan Mucheng tied his belt and straightened his collar in front of the mirror, "I have been chasing him for a long time, for fear that this smart and bad guy will be stared at by someone wishful thinking. up."

Jiang Shiqing looked at Yuan Mucheng behind him through the mirror, and said, "If you don't introduce the general, which family's son is so loved by you?"

Yuan Mucheng tightened his arms and rubbed his head toward his neck, his tone was full of ambiguity: "Couldn't this person be you, huh?"

"The general admitted his mistake, I don't know how to seduce people." Jiang Shiqing was itchy by his rubbing, and shrugged his shoulders.

"Little liar," Yuan Mucheng pinched his chin, took another bite of his mouth punitively, and said, "Stand obediently."

He reached out to touch his waist, and after taking out something mysteriously, he carefully lifted the veil, took out the hairpin with exquisite patterns wrapped inside, and threaded it through Jiang Shiqing's hair.

Jiang Shiqing stood still for a while, then remembered to raise his hand to touch it, but when he touched the hairpin, he felt trembling in his heart, feeling that it was stained with Yuan Mucheng's breath, and it was too hot for him to touch.

"For me?" Jiang Shiqing slowly took off the hairpin, put it in his palm and looked at it for a long time.

"I woke up my child just now, and chased him to question him again, which made him unhappy," Yuan Mucheng smiled lightly next to him, "I use this to coax my child."

Jiang Shiqing twitched his lips: "Your kid sounds so familiar. Could it be that I recognize him too?"

Yuan Mucheng raised two fingers, nodded between his brows, and said, "This is the only one, don't get it wrong."

After saying that, Yuan Mucheng covered his fingers, and led him to slowly remove the decoration covering the hairpin pole, revealing a sharp edge.

It was originally an exquisite dagger, but the hilt was converted into a hairpin head, and the blade was sealed with an iron sheath disguised as a hairpin shaft. If one didn't look carefully, others would think it was a hairpin.

"I specially entrusted the best swordsmith in Yuzhou to forge this. I also painted the decorations and sent them over by myself. Last time I sent them from Yuzhou together with rice cakes and kumiss. I wanted to give them to you earlier. But you never answered me, so I hid for a long time."

Yuan Mucheng coiled his hair for him, and put the hairpin in his hair, with gentle movements: "On weekdays, you wear this hairpin on your head, and when you meet someone with dirty hands and feet, don't be soft. You have to protect yourself and know ?"

Jiang Shiqing asked softly, "Why did you think of giving me this?"

Yuan Mucheng straightened his broken hair, and then held his arm and hugged him: "That guy Yan Lingyong is hated, I'm afraid my Huaichuan family has been bullied, I think daggers are better than silver needles."

Yuan Mucheng leaned close to him, put his hand over his heart again, and said, "You have to remember, I have you here too, if anything goes wrong with you, my place will not only itch, but also hurt."

Jiang Shiqing was dumbfounded for a moment, he only knew that his whole body was trapped in Yuan Mucheng's arms, and the chest against his back was supporting him, pulling him towards the world.

The memory of his youth lingered like a haze, even if Yan Ling died in his hands forever, the pain would still not fade away, but now Yuan Mucheng appeared behind him, dispelling all the shadows, so he was very greedy for this The feeling is also sincere and fearful, and the urge to survive is also intensifying.

He really wanted to survive in a fair and honest manner, and then go all the way from Yuzhou to the north and south of the world with Yuan Mucheng, and live a long and safe life together.

In the silence, Jiang Shiqing suddenly called out, "Xiao'an."

"Yes." Yuan Mucheng replied.

"If I want, will you take me away?" Jiang Shiqing asked.

Yuan Mucheng's brain roared because of surprise, and he was afraid that this was a joke, so he turned Jiang Shiqing around, and then leaned over to look at him again, almost holding his breath.

He looked for traces of jokes in Jiang Shiqing's eyes, and tentatively asked, "Shengzhou, Ningzhou, Yuzhou...anywhere is fine?"

After a brief silence, Jiang Shiqing looked up at him, stretched out his hand to caress his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "It's life or death, it's fine anywhere."

In Taiwei's mansion, Xu Yixu took out a neatly folded note from his sleeve, and handed it to Xu Bin: "The student followed Mr. Jiang's instructions and found the residence where Taishi Jiang is temporarily staying. This is the address, please have a look."

Xu Bing took the piece of paper, unfolded it and carefully read the few numbers several times.

Seeing that he had accepted the note, Xu Yixu immediately said: "Students have heard some turmoil recently. It is said that His Majesty secretly summoned the Censor of the Overwatch Council to discuss matters. I am afraid that the Overwatch Council will take action in the near future. Sir, you are a Taiwei. Inevitably bear the brunt of it.”

Xu Bing was indifferent, and after putting the note into his bosom unhurriedly, he said: "There is nothing to check on me, and the dead man is also in your name, but there are many threats hanging on Yi Zhonghou. If the Ministry of Finance is found, the matter of Sand Snake will not be hidden for long."

Xu Yixu lowered his eyes and said, "The student has a bold idea, I don't know if it's feasible."

Since Xu Yixu gave him the news about Jiang Yu, Xu Bing's attitude towards him has eased a lot, and even dispelled the suspicion he had had recently. Smartness will keep him by his side, even if Xu Yixu deliberately killed Hu Sang in order to get ahead in the matter of Guozijian, but he is ambitious, and it is understandable to take advantage of the opportunity to climb higher, so what Xu Yixu said now, Xu Bin Will also take it to heart.

Xu Bing pointed to the table: "Tell me."

Xu Yixu said: "Since the Ministry of Household Affairs has left evidence, why not find an opportunity to light a fire and burn all the evidence?"

Xu Bing was startled suddenly: "You mean... burnt?"

"Yes," Xu Yixu smiled, "It's burned."
