Powerful ministers are husbands

"I felt sorry for it at the time. I thought that this person's wish would probably not come true." Pang Miao recalled carefully, and he sketched the situation under the blessing tree in Jokhang Temple in his mind-gray white stone slabs, growing out of the cracks. Clusters of short green grass, "It seems that there really is no second prayer belt."

Because it was really a pity for him at that time, a good belt fell off inexplicably, and then he glanced around.

Pang Miao opened his mouth slightly and stared at Cao Lv.

"My wish did not come true," Cao Lv took back the prayer belt from Pang Miao, "but it brought me another fate."

Pang Miao looked at the two prayer belts overlapped in Cao Lu's hands, and smiled at him, "You hit me, and mine hit you. What a coincidence, it's called fate?"

"In this life, forget it." Cao Lu was silent for a while, and gently stroked Junyi's handwriting with his fingertips, "At that time, I had something important to do, so I accidentally took your blessing belt and left. , I went back and picked up my own and put them together."

"Why?" Pang Miao knew that even though Cao Lv hadn't seen his fiancée for ten years, the name of his brother-in-law would not be unclear, and he felt a strange feeling in his heart.

"Because something happened." Cao Lv put the two blessing belts back into the box.

Pang Miao put down the book he was reading with gusto just now, and waited intently for Cao Lv to talk about the past.

Cao Lu lazily leaned on the soft couch, looking at Pang Miao who looked expectant, his handsome face miraculously showed a look of contempt and anxiety, and there was even a faint concern in his eyes, which scared Pang Miao Looking at his body, the wounds are well bandaged, thanks to his eight-day coma, avoiding the most painful days.

"Hey, if you can't beat it, run quickly. It's important to save your life. I never thought that your parents would faint from fright if they saw you covered in blood?"

Cao Lu's voice was deliberately lowered. Sometimes he spoke softly and sometimes majesticly coldly, but now he has a very weird feeling.

"You learn what the servants in the palace say?" Pang Miao asked hesitantly, silently thinking where he seemed to have heard this sentence... No, it seems that this sentence came from him.

Cao Lv continued to pretend, "Your headgear is well cut, but no matter how good you are, you don't feel bored? Wait, why do I have to wear it?" Then he switched to his own voice, muffled Said: "Because you look good in it."

Pang Miao was absolutely sure that the first two sentences were really what he said.

"How did you know?"

"How do you think I know about such a secret?" Cao Lu asked back.

Pang Miao looked at him, Cao Lv had a lot of people in his hands, but the matter was indeed very secret, only two people knew about it, and one of them was himself.If that person is familiar with Cao Lv, it's okay to tell him the situation, but...

The key is that Cao Lv won't bother to learn.

"Could it be...you are the one who asked me to keep it a secret?"

"A Miao is really smart." Cao Lu felt very happy, "That night at the Jokhang Temple, the person you met was me."

"You said that your face was burnt and you would hide it because you were afraid of being frightened. You also said that your house was occupied by some evil relatives, and you wanted to kill people to silence it..." There is no flaw on your face, and no matter how you look at it, it's not. Ordinary people can only be bullied by General Cao—if General Cao wants to bully others.

Cao Lv said seriously, "This is called covering your identity."

With the relationship between the two families who are completely unfamiliar except for the marriage contract, it is reasonable for Cao Lv not to explain the real situation. Pang Miao couldn't help asking: "What happened that night?"

"The assassination in the city a few days ago was just an introduction to find out our defenses. The real murder was arranged at the Jokhang Temple. Passing the Jokhang Temple did not happen by chance, but someone talked to my good friend with some extravagant hype. Later , That gang of barbarians arrested more than a dozen civilians and invited me to negotiate, intending to revise the terms of the peace. I secretly left men in ambush on various mountain roads, and then went to meet their leaders, but fell into a trap by mistake."

Pang Miao knew everything after that, because he was walking back to the Jokhang Temple when he heard the sound of fighting, so he ran over to watch.It was late at that time, and there was only a shadow of swords and swords in the dark woods. He squatted secretly behind the bushes, and a dozen big bearded men with thick backs and waists were besieging several people. The big bearded men had obviously rehearsed in advance, and every move Gradually disperse the opponent.

When he was thinking to himself that this place was really not peaceful, he saw a person taking advantage of the night to hide his body skillfully. If he hadn't fallen right in front of him, he wouldn't even have noticed that the person was coming towards this side.

Through the hazy moonlight, he saw several wounds on the man's body, lying on the ground without moving, his first reaction was to drag him and run away.

I don't want to, after walking a few steps, the man moved, and he was so frightened that he fell over and ate his mouth full of mud.

When he got up, seeing the man planning to go back, he blurted out the phrase "Save your life".

"Actually, I didn't want to go back at that time..." Cao Lu paused, "I just didn't pay attention to the direction."

"..." Pang Miao's expression was slightly gloomy.

"What?" Cao Lu was keenly aware of the change in his expression.

"It's nothing." Pang Miao silently convinced himself that the gods in the legends are not perfect, let alone mortals.

That night, they supported each other and hid in the Jokhang Temple. On the way, Cao Lu put a black hood on him, only showing the part of the eyes, and he looked a bit unkind.But that group of big guys never caught up. As a passerby, he didn't think it was very dangerous until now.

"I figured it out." When the truth was revealed, Pang Miao finally realized that it was because of the inexplicable reason of "beautiful", "You are worried that my face will be seen by the barbarians, and you will be retaliated in the future, so let me wear it too. "

Cao Lv nodded, "Yes, the letter I asked you to convey on my behalf is not to the informant arranged by the supervisory censor, but to my deputy general."

"You trusted me so much at the time? You didn't even tell me your real name. I didn't know it would be so important." Pang Miao was surprised. Being chased and killed by evil relatives was far less serious than being sneaked into the territory of Duanguo by a group of people. The barbarians plotted.The former is not related to the righteousness of the country. Whether he is a reliable person is not that important, but the latter one, what if he cowardly escapes halfway?Although his thoughts at the time were that the road was rough and he couldn't draw his sword to help, so he ran errands to deliver the letter.

"There's only you around, and those people won't care about a scholar who doesn't know martial arts," Cao Lu said frankly, "so why don't you take a gamble, and you told me your real name honestly."

"What if I made it up?"

Cao Lv shook the blessing belt triumphantly, "Because I picked it up, unless you deliberately jumped onto a branch as thick as a child's arm to pick a name to fake. Look at you... you are not a person with martial arts."

Pang Miao rolled up his sleeves and looked at his arms, "If studying and practicing martial arts come together, I probably won't be able to pass the imperial examination by now."

Afraid that he would catch a cold, Cao Lu pulled down his sleeves and stuffed them back under the quilt, "After the supporters arrived, we wiped out all the barbarians who sneaked in. When I returned to the Jokhang Temple, I heard that you had left. I saw my The prayer belt was still lying by the root of the tree, so I picked it up and put it together with yours, as a souvenir of meeting by chance and sharing weal and woe.”

"A commemoration of shared adversity..." Pang Miao turned his eyes to the wooden box.

"Until this year, a long time later, when I returned from the frontier, I rummaged through hundreds of books and found a place to store them again, because they no longer have the same meaning to me."

When Pang Miao looked up, he saw Cao Lu's tender gaze. If his legs could move, he really wanted to hug him.

Cao Lv seemed to understand Pang Miao's thoughts, moved to the bed, and stopped his shoulders.

"I said that you and Pang Wenjun look at people differently because of that night. Talking to you and laughing makes me feel very relaxed and happy. Your eyes are warm and clear. It can be seen that you are sincerely helping other people."

"You haven't seen my sister before, how do you know?"

"On the eve of your sister's wedding, my grandmother invited your mother and sister to Cao's house. I saw you from afar. When I saw you later, I knew that despite the ingenious makeup, there is almost no difference between you and Pang Wenjun. , but as long as you look at the eyes, you will know that it is not a person at all."

Pang Miao thought about it, maybe he loved his sister a lot before, and he couldn't see the truth clearly in the situation, but as things happened one by one, he understood that even if it is a relative who is closely connected by blood, the heart is hard to guess, and a pair of eyes It is precisely at certain times that it can reflect a person's truth.

"I remembered something." He wanted to change the subject and not mention Pang Wenjun any more.

"what?"

Pang Miao's eyes brightened, "I remember the name you told me when you were in Jokhang Temple."

"..." Cao Lu heard a knock on the door, but Pang Miao couldn't stop talking.

"You said your name is Fatty Cao." Pang Miao couldn't help laughing, the wounds involved were throbbing and painful, but seeing the handsome people around him, he couldn't stop.

Doctor Kong, who came in with the medicine, had already heard Pang Miao's words, was startled, and looked at Cao Lv in disbelief.

Cao Lu explained lightly: "You said your surname is Pang, so I just said it along."

"You also said that because your parents think that being fat is a symbol of wealth, since you can't get fat in your body, you should get fat in your name." After Pang Miao finished speaking, he found Doctor Kong who was standing stupidly by the curtain.

In order to make the couch soft, the attendants removed the screen, so now as long as they enter the room, they can see the situation on the side of the couch.

Cao Lu sighed regretfully: "Originally, only you, A Miao, know this unique name."

Dr. Kong quickly put down the bowl, "I'm getting old and my ears are hard to use. What did the General just say?"

"No, thank you for your hard work." Cao Lv was very calm.

"Don't bother me anymore." When Doctor Kong turned around, his shoulder bumped against the curtain, and his sight was immediately blocked by the scattered curtain, which replaced the function of the screen.

Cao Lv looked back to see that Pang Miao was still smiling, and blocked him back with a deep kiss.
