[Honor of Kings] Bai Liang's Short Story Collection

Li Bai's small actions were done very covertly.

In other words, he thought he was concealed, and he didn't know whether it was due to his rich experience and thick skin, relying on the cloak as a cover, or he felt that the little mage was dressed thickly, so he wouldn't be noticed if he touched it.

Zhuge Liang was more sensitive than he imagined, his eyelashes trembled, and when he raised his eyes, he met those burning green eyes.

Li Bai looked calm and concerned, asked him in a low voice if he was still cold, hugged the tie of the cloak tightly, grabbed his hand and held it in his own.

The warm breath brushed against the cheeks, and the fire glowed harmoniously, outlining the handsome but gradually blurred outlines of the young swordsman's eyebrows.The boundless desert was extremely silent, and the ease was so drowsy that Zhuge Liang lowered his eyelids again as if he was ignorant.

Sleep if you want, Li Bai said again.

Zhuge Liang was not such a person who let his guard down easily, but maybe the other party's face was so deceptive that people couldn't help but trust him and rely on him... Before he knew it, he had fallen asleep leaning on Li Bai's shoulder .

When I woke up, the sky was slightly bright, and the whole world was shaking.

Zhuge Liang sat up, met the hairy camel's head, and looked back, Li Bai waved lazily at him while holding the rope.

They were already far away from the small sand dune where they rested earlier.

"Are you awake? I saw you were in a deep sleep just now, but the storm is coming soon."

The weather in the desert is changeable, Li Bai has been paying attention to the wind direction, and in the middle of the night, if the situation is not right, he quickly extinguishes the campfire and packs his bags.

He also said that we were lucky to meet the mining team returning to the city on the way.

As for the road ahead, Zhuge Liang guessed that he should be walking behind his back.

Zhuge Liang didn't speak, but looked back at the desert behind him, with a slightly worried look, Li Bai comforted him: "Recently, when the windy season hits, your caravan should also go in this direction, we will meet you when we advance into the city. "

It just so happened that he had friends in the city who could borrow a place to rest.

Jade City is a great spectacle in the desert in the clouds. Zhuge Liang had heard about it before, but he didn't really feel the shock brought by this miracle city until he was there.

There was an endless stream of businessmen coming and going, and the majestic city walls shone with the brilliance of jade. Zhuge Liang looked towards the royal city, and the traces of the buildings transformed by mechanism techniques were obvious, and the exquisiteness was astonishing.

Li Bai stretched out his hand towards him and helped him jump off the camel.

As soon as Zhuge Liang's "thank you" came to his lips, he interrupted him and said with a smile: "You are also very lucky to meet me."

It is a terrible thing to get lost and separated in the desert. Zhuge Liang knew it very well and looked at Li Bai curiously.

"Are you from Yucheng?"

He shook his head.

"I used to..." The swordsman's voice was rarely blurred, Zhuge Liang could hear his effort to hide his emotions from his understatement, "That place has already been buried, it should be on the way you came here .”

Zhuge Liang was taken aback, thinking of the ruins of the ancient country they walked through a day ago.

When his eyes met, Li Bai was thoughtful.

"Have you been there? It's pretty desolate there, but it wasn't like that before."

Zhuge Liang has never seen the appearance of the kingdom before its collapse, but one can still get a glimpse of it from his nostalgic expression.

"Maybe it's because of the fragments of the Heavenly Book." He said softly.

"I have seen records that Loulan is rich in resources, but compared to other cities in the desert, it is limited by the environment, and it is not worth thinking about by the saints who live in Chang'an City. It is not like Yucheng, which has so many rare jades. ... If there is anything that will be coveted by others and eventually bring the entire kingdom to annihilation, it is only the heavenly book."

Zhuge Liang looked at Li Bai with focused eyes, trying to find some clues from that face.

"The former Loulan...you should be familiar with it, right?"

If the fragments of the heavenly book once protected Loulan, Li Bai must know.

The swordsman raised his eyebrows slowly, and repeated in a surprised whisper: "Book from heaven?"

Holy shit...

Thinking of the secrets in Chang'an City, Li Bai was silent for a while, his expression became complicated, and finally he just sighed.

Even if he knew, what's the use.If you don't have the strength to change, you will only make yourself miserable.Therefore, I can only live in a daze, heartlessly.

Zhuge Liang wanted to say something else, but the other party just waved his hand, expressing that he didn't mind, and quickly returned to his foolish look, eager to take him to the local guide.

Zhuge Liang lived in Jixia as long as he could remember, and kept his house closed. His knowledge of the outside world came from books and word of mouth, and he felt that he was not as knowledgeable as a traveler in the desert.

But he still didn't expect that Li Bai's friend was actually the eldest prince of Yucheng.

The humanities and customs in the desert of the Western Regions are quite different from those in the Central Plains, and the rules are also different. Zhuge Liang looked around and wanted to take a closer look at the exquisite gadgets sold on the street, but was pulled away by Li Bai, with a threat: "These are all deceiving foreigners. Yes, it’s extremely expensive, so be careful to set yourself up.”

Li Bai was familiar with the road, took a shortcut, and arrived at the palace in a short time.Zhuge Liang was still observing the unfamiliar environment, but Li Bai had already precisely pulled out a person from under a pile of wine jars in the corner, his movements were extremely skillful, and he called "His Royal Highness" in his mouth, but he was not very polite.

The man was well dressed, but with messy hair, he was drunk, and his clothes were messed up, revealing most of his chest.

Zhuge Liang sized him up and felt that he and Li Bai were somewhat similar, almost thinking that he was some relative of his, but he caught a glimpse of a rare gemstone inlaid under the neckline of the other party.

This texture, even in Yucheng, is quite precious. Zhuge Liang recalled the illustrations in the book, which seemed to belong to the royal family...

Drowsy, sat up yawning, just in time to see Zhuge Liang looking at him.

"Brother Taibai, long time no see," he greeted Li Bai, his eyes fixed on the young mage, tilted his head, and smiled lazily, "Did you really listen to my brother? Did I find a princess?"

Li Bai: ...?

"This man hasn't woken up yet." He turned his head and explained to Zhuge Liang, held down the prince's head and poured it into the wine jar.

"Well, help..."

Xun struggled to get up, choked so hard that he coughed, the wine dripped from his hair, his neck and chest were wet, and he was quite embarrassed.

Only then did he see Li Bai's eyes clearly, and said aggrievedly, "It's just a joke."

Li Bai said seriously, "You are sexual harassment."

"this--"

He was about to introduce Zhuge Liang, but remembered that he didn't know his name yet, so he stopped when he started.

And Zhuge Liang stood there quietly, with confusion and curiosity in his eyes, but he didn't intend to report himself at all.Li Bai guessed that he was separated from his companions due to an accident, and now that he was in a completely unfamiliar place, he felt somewhat scruples in his heart, and it was reasonable not to say anything.

Li Bai paused, and casually used the phrase "a friend I just met" to fool him, but he was still yawning and didn't ask any further questions.

"Since there are guests coming, we should welcome them well." He rubbed his eyes and brushed away the water in his bangs. "Shall we have a banquet tonight?"

"No need," Li Bai said, looked at Zhuge Liang, and then asked, "I came to you because I wanted to ask... about the fragments of the Heavenly Book."

……

He guessed right, and when he heard the words in the book from heaven, he finally cheered up and revealed some secrets to them.

A few years ago, when Loulan fell, Yucheng was quietly rising.As a member of the royal family, the young prince has a vague premonition that a mysterious force is helping Yucheng.

"The general has been devoting himself to developing the mine recently," he rubbed his hair indiscriminately, and sighed, "I don't know what treasures are hidden in the mine, which deserves his attention."

Zhuge Liang listened thoughtfully.If the fragments of the Heavenly Book were found in Yucheng, or if they were deliberately brought here by someone with a heart to hide...

"Of course, it's just my guess." He said, with a little worry in his brows and eyes, and quickly put it behind him, and put on a casual smile again, and put his arms around their shoulders, "Okay, don't think about it." There are so many. It’s rare to come to Yucheng, so let’s have fun, and you must come to the banquet tonight.”

People in the Western Regions are enthusiastic and unrestrained, Zhuge Liang finally saw it.

He carried a plate of grapes across the hallway, and was almost dragged away by a group of people to dance.They were all young and handsome guys, surrounded and booed him, which made him overwhelmed, retreating every step of the way, even a few buttons on his clothes were torn off and used as souvenirs.

At the critical moment, Li Bai still appeared from an unknown corner, stepped on erratic footwork, and led Zhuge Liang out of the crowd.

"Thank you..." Zhuge Liang was still in shock, he hugged the plate of grapes tightly, his face was still a little flushed, Li Bai only glanced at it, then turned his head hastily.

After he stood firm, he was about to say something when he suddenly noticed that Li Bai's clothes had also been pulled crookedly, and there were more lipstick marks than in the daytime.

"What's wrong?" Li Baiwen asked.

He didn't answer, but stopped suddenly, put the grapes on the window sill, reached out and grabbed Li Bai's sleeve, stood on tiptoe and approached.Li Bai was a little caught off guard, subconsciously stepped back, and leaned his back against the window sill railing.

Sure enough, his collar and the bottom of his hair were full of strong smells, which were spices produced in Yucheng.

Li Bai stared at the perfect and delicate face at close range, and swallowed quietly.

"You..." He tried to open the topic, but felt that his throat was dry and he couldn't figure out Zhuge Liang's intentions.

The clean lake-like blue eyes looked at him quietly, and the round and drooping corners of the eyes seemed focused and affectionate, which made people's heart beat.

After a while, Zhuge Liang said, "Where shall we live tonight?"

It's too close, so close that Li Bai can't help but think, are you seducing me on purpose?

"Well, I said the room is over there—" He collected himself, raised his hand, and pointed to the end of the corridor, "Here, the first room is yours, and I live next door."

The clothes were rubbing against each other slightly, Li Bai looked out of the corner of his eye, Zhuge Liang's fingertips bent up, pulled a dent on his sleeve, and then let go, the repeated rubbing movements seemed to fall on his heart, slightly itching.

When he came back to his senses, he had already cupped the other's cheek and kissed the corner of his lips.

The usually suave swordsman was unexpectedly timid at this time, he only touched it once, and tasted it.

Just as he had imagined, those lips were moist and soft, and his intentions were still unfinished. When he wanted to savor it carefully, he felt that Zhuge Liang grasped his sleeves tightly, and his whole body was almost pressed against his body, leaning on his chest to maintain balance.

"You drank a lot." Zhuge Liang stated calmly.

Indeed, he drank a lot. How could he be willing to refuse the fine wine that the eldest prince treasured?Li Bai responded, wrapped his arms around his waist, clasped his fingers tightly, and touched the edge of his belt bit by bit.

In the dimness, a chuckle was heard.

"Eat grapes?"

When he came back to his senses, Li Bai had already pulled him back to his room, feeling drunk, looking at the little mage, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that everything was pleasing to the eye, but the soft armor was too strong, making people wonder how to disassemble it .

But before he could make a move, he was pushed onto the bed by the other party. He couldn't even sit still, and half-lyed on the pillow, barely supporting his upper body.

The little mage sat on his waist with his legs spread apart, with a grape in his mouth, chewing slowly, looking condescending, but his body was very soft, his waist was soft, and the weight on Li Bai's legs The inside of the thigh is also soft, to the touch, it is like that grape, which is dripping with juice after being bitten, revealing the crystal clear flesh.

It makes people really hungry.

How can he be blamed for the development to this point?Even if it was a one-night affair, it was planned for a long time.Li Bai said to himself that with the strength of wine, he picked the grape with peace of mind.

(slightly)

The swordsman hugged him in his arms, found a comfortable position, and woke up until dawn.

... The sun is warm and pleasant, but there are a few chilly, gloomy murderous auras inserted for no reason.

Li Bai opened his eyes, and a sharp blade turned from a black shadow came to meet him.He tilted his head to dodge two or three attacks, and looked down, Zhuge Liang was sitting on the ground wrapped in his cloak, with most of his shoulders exposed, and naturally there was nothing inside.

Li Bai didn't dare to look at it any more, and when he took another look, his blood surged again, bringing back the scorching hot memories of the night before.

As for the friend who came to the door angrily, it was probably Zhuge Liang's friend who traveled west together.

Obviously he saved Zhuge Liang, but Li Bai didn't know where his killing intent came from, so he made a decisive decision and took Zhuge Liang to avoid him, and waited for the other party to calm down.

"——Zhuge Liang!" He heard the roar of that man. As expected, he was a student taught by the sage of Zhuang Zhou in Jixia.

"I went through the Loulan ruins and thought I was going to collect your body, but you are, here, here—a wild man!"
