after being kidnapped by the general

Yang Zhongfa's appearance of trying to persuade them to separate made Yuanli's heart sink continuously.

He had to think.

Even Yang Zhongfa resisted so much, so how much should his parents resist?

Chu Hechao straightened his lips.

The shadow shrouded him, making it impossible to see what expression he had.But it was not in a good mood. Yang Zhongfa was familiar with Chu Hechao. Even though Chu Hechao was standing still, his figure was still so tall and straight, as if he was invincible.But Yang Zhongfa knew that every sentence he said was aimed at Chu Hechao's pain points. Some words were only a few words, but they were as painful as a knife.

But as long as they are together, there will only be more and more such words.

Yang Zhongfa was ruthless, and continued to look at Yuanli, "Master, you have great ambitions, and you are extraordinary. The incest of your uncle and sister-in-law will only stigmatize you, and everyone in the world will maliciously speculate on your relationship with the two brothers of the Chu family. Doubt whether the position and meritorious service you have obtained from the orthodox... You are eight years younger than the general--eight years old, you are still young, but the general wants to stand up, the general does not look old now, but if ten years later What? What about after 20 years? What about after 50 or [-] years... The last general will never want you to waste your good time on the general, so I ask you and the general...to return to normal."

Every word he said seemed to favor Yuanli, but in fact he was protecting Chu Hechao.

Yang Zhongfa begged, his eyes were heavy.Yuanli's lips were dry and peeling, and the sweet and greasy candied haws smell disappeared completely, exuding a bitter aftertaste.Just when he was about to speak, Chu Hechao spoke first.

"... I said, what do you have to say to me, what do you want to tell him? He is the only one who is crowned, what can he understand? I tricked him into breaking the rules with me, so I put my words here, he If I promise you anything, I'll break his legs. Do you hear me, my dear sister?"

Yang Zhongfa's face was livid, he didn't expect Chu Hechao to be so unreasonable, he was short of breath with anger, "General, how dare you do this?!"

Chu Hechao's breathing gradually became heavy and slow, and he even pulled his lips into a smile, "What am I afraid to do? I dare to snatch him if he is alive, but not when he is dead?"

"Go back," Chu Hechao said, "For tonight's matter, just pretend that you don't see anything and don't know anything. Don't tell anyone else."

"..." Yang Zhongfa took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said, "Impossible, this matter must be resolved tonight, and it cannot be delayed any longer!"

His more excited attitude than expected made Yuanli frown.

Yang Zhong found that he obviously couldn't listen to anything, and even persuading him couldn't persuade him.Yuan Li was not in a hurry to speak out, while thinking about how to deal with it in his mind, he carefully observed Yang Zhongfa's expression.

Yang Zhongfa stood up and was about to walk towards Yuanli, loudly, "Master Yuan, you heard what the general said, do you really want to make mistakes with him again?!"

Chu Hechao reached out to stop him.

Yang Zhongfa yelled at Chu Hechao again in a low voice: "General, twisted melons are not sweet. You don't let me talk to Mr. Yuan, isn't it because you have no idea and think that the two of you can't go on forever? You I know clearly in my heart that this road is difficult. I don’t need to say anything, you will fall apart sooner or later. If you take the truth as stronger as gold, then why are you afraid of my words? Don’t you want to hear what Mr. Yuan thinks? ?!"

Chu Hechao raised his eyelids, and the blood in his eyes turned from shallow to deep. He opened his mouth, and with a low voice, he firmly blocked Yang Zhongfa in front of him, "Stop talking."

The candle was flickering, and the dim light flickered on him. Chu Hechao said again in a low voice, "Yang Zhongfa, stop talking."

Yang Zhongfa looked at him like this, and suddenly he was as dumb as to be speechless.

Chu Hechao came to the battlefield when he was young. Yang Zhongfa knew that he was the son of King Chu, and he always took care of him.He watched helplessly as this bastard turned into a little general, and then into an indestructible god of war that everyone looked up to, and a great general who shocked the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

Yang Zhongfa has been with Chu Hechao for 15 years, and he has never seen Chu Hechao show such an expression in 15 years.

So... with a panicked, pleading look.

Yuan Li suddenly said, "Your Excellency, you want to hear me?"

Chu Hechao froze invisibly, Yang Zhongfa couldn't bear to look at Chu Hechao, and suppressed his compassion, "That's right."

Chu Hechao wanted to laugh at him for being too naive, Yuan Li had already promised him that he would never go back on his word, how could he give Yang Zhong the answer he wanted to hear?

But he was unconsciously tense, his whole body was tense, and dense panic clung to his flesh and blood.

Then, he heard Yuanli's voice, "Your Excellency is right."

Chu Hechao froze as if falling into an ice cave.

Yang Zhongfa was both sad and happy, looking at Yuanli in a very complicated way.

Yuan Li's expression was flat, even too indifferent: "I have learned a lot from what Master Yang said. You are right, I will only provoke contempt and scolding from the world when I am with the general. After all, the status does not match, and the age difference is also big. Thinking about it carefully, I don't seem to have any reason to continue to make mistakes with the general and go on."

Chu Hechao stood with his back to Yuanli, feeling as if he had misheard Yuanli's words.

His expression was stunned, and he looked a little pitiful.

...How could Yuanli say such a thing?

This is not what Yuanli would say.

"Since you found out about the two of us, it's time to think about how to deal with it," Yuan Li rubbed his forehead, stood up and said, "My lord, give me time to think about it first, after the Panfeng Festival is over, Come back and talk about it.”

After finishing speaking, he nodded towards Yang Zhongfa, turned around and left mercilessly.

The cold wind from outside the study blows in, and the candlelight is blown out instantly.

In the dark, Yang Zhongfa was stuck in his throat, Yuanli's behavior was too unexpected.It made him afraid to look at Chu Hechao now. He turned his head and stared at the stiff silhouette in the darkness. Yang Zhongfa was at a loss and didn't know what to say, "General..."

"...Get lost." Chu Hechao said in a depressed tone.

"I--"

Chu Hechao was suddenly furious: "Get lost!"

Yang Zhongfa opened his mouth and left in embarrassment.

Chu Hechao stood there for a long time. He had shared the same candied haws with Yuanli before, but now it was as cold as ice.His palms were cold, and he lost his mind.

Gone, gone.

Even his only life-saving straw has to abandon him.

Darkness surrounded Chu Hechao, as cold as a cold pool.Chu Hechao sank deeper and deeper, and when it became more and more difficult to breathe, a warm hand suddenly appeared in his hand.

Chu Hechao heard Yuan Li's tormenting voice again, "Brother, has Yang Zhongfa left?"

Chu Hechao turned his head in a daze, and saw the faint figure of Yuan Li. He was stunned for a long time before he said hoarsely: "Let's go."

After a pause, Chu Hechao asked cautiously again: "Le Jun, did you just say that to deceive him?"

Yuan Li nodded affirmatively, "Yes, just to stabilize him tonight. He is too excited, and he won't listen to what we say now. Now it's the Panfeng Festival, and the people in Ji County are so chaotic. Don't make it public. I just wanted to pretend to stabilize him for the time being, and after the three-day Lantern Festival, he has calmed down a lot, so I will say that it will get twice the result with half the effort."

Chu Hechao returned to the human world from the darkness in an instant. He raised his trembling hands and stroked Yuanli's cheeks, chin, and Yuanli's brows and eyes. You just lied to him."

Yuan Li's face hurt from being touched, and the man was incoherent in surprise. Yuan Li smiled at him, touched the man's face, and pressed his forehead against his, distressed, "Brother, did I scare you?"

Chu Hechao looked embarrassed, his eyes were a little moist with embarrassment, but fortunately, the night covered them all up, "Well, I was scared."

Chu Hechao has lost many things in his life, subordinates, elder brothers, parents... This is the first time he has experienced the joy of regaining something lost.

This happiness makes people both sour and happy, satisfied, and extremely satisfied.

"I'm sorry..." Yuan Li's nose soured, "After the Panfeng Festival, we will confess to our confidants."

Chu Hechao quietly hugged him tenderly, "Okay."

Yuan Li said: "Don't listen to Yang Zhongfa's nonsense, I don't think you are old at all."

Chu Hechao's expression changed slightly, and he let out a "bah", "Whatever is old or not is called old."

Yuan Li saw his reluctance to this word, he thought for a while, "The bottle of ointment I gave you before, if you apply some on your face every day after washing, it will age... slower."

Chu Hechao was dubious, "Really?"

Yuan Li nodded heavily, "Really."

Chu Hechao reluctantly said, "Then I will try it every day from now on."

Yuan Li thought that Chu Hechao had been appeased by him, but he found out at night that Chu Hechao was still not relieved.

He followed Yuanli every step of the way. In May, when he was sleeping, he still hugged Yuanli tightly, and both of them were sweating.

Yuan Li tried to coax him to sleep, "Actually, one sentence Yang Zhongfa said is quite correct."

Chu Hechao tensed up suddenly, "What?"

"He said I take one step and see ten steps," Yuan Li smiled, "That's the truth. When I decided to be with you, I already thought of the day when I was discovered by others. You like me, I like it You, even if you can hide the clues between us for a while, you can't hide it for a lifetime. Brother, since I will be with you, I have already prepared for the worst."

Chu Hechao took his hand and kissed his lips, his brows and eyes were deep, "I will settle this matter."

He whispered, "Don't worry, don't be afraid, I will protect you and not let you be wronged."

Yuan Li said softly, "I'm not wronged. I want to find a way with you, you believe me, I have a way to make Yang Zhongfa accept us."

Chu Hechao's Adam's apple rolled, and he said hoarsely, "Okay."

In the middle of the night, Yuan Li woke up suffocated by urine, opened his eyes vaguely, and saw Chu Hechao leaning on the head of the bed, with one arm around him and the other arm on his body, his eyes were open looking at the beams of the room. , I don't know what I'm thinking.

Half of the drowsiness disappeared, Yuan Li asked, "Why didn't you sleep?"

Chu Hechao came back to his senses, "I can't sleep, do I have to get up at night? I'll accompany you."

"No need," Yuan Li rolled over him and got off the bed, "I can go by myself."

Chu Hechao went with him anyway, and when he returned to the bed after washing his hands, Yuan Li yawned, "Brother, go to sleep."

Chu Hechao nodded, "Well, sleep now."

Yuan Li knew at a glance that he was just talking casually and wasn't going to sleep at all.He thought for a while, then suddenly burrowed into the quilt, "I'll kiss you, you go to sleep quickly."

Chu Hechao, whose belt was untied, was flattered, "Why did you suddenly kiss me?"

Yuan Li lay on top of him, "Don't talk, go to sleep quickly."

Yuan Li's mouth was sore from the kiss, and his throat was sore. When he was almost sleepy and closed his eyes to sleep, Chu Hechao let out a muffled snort, ran his fingers through Yuan Li's hair, and said sweatingly, "It's done."

Yuan Li crawled out of the quilt, his face flushed with heat.He was so sleepy that he couldn't be bothered to go out to rinse his mouth, so he swallowed his food, rinsed his mouth twice with the tea in the teacup beside the bed, and planned to go to sleep.

Chu Hechao raised his chin and pressed it against it, quickly twirled his tongue twice in Yuanli's mouth, and softly whispered, "Go to sleep."

Yuan Li said vaguely, "You're not too dirty either."

Chu He Chao laughed, "It's all my stuff, what do I hate?"

Yuan Li said two more words indistinctly, but Chu Hechao didn't hear clearly.The next moment, Yuan Li fell asleep, and his long breathing was peaceful, stabilizing Chu Hechao's heart.

All the random thoughts in his head disappeared, and Chu Hechao gradually fell asleep.

In the next two days, the Panfeng Festival passed smoothly, and the crowd stranded in Ji County gradually dispersed.

Nearly [-]% of the Confucian scholars from the south decided to stay in Youzhou for a longer period of time.

In the past two days, Yang Zhongfa has also calmed down a lot. Just as the lanterns for the Panfeng Festival were put away by the government, he went to the Chu Palace.

Yuan Li and Chu Hechao were already waiting for him in the study.

Yang Zhongfa didn't dare to look at Chu Hechao, his heart was heavy, "Master Yuan, have you thought it through?"

He had already predicted what would happen to the two of them.

The general fell in love with someone for the first time in 29 years, and it was the result of being blocked by him... Yang Zhongfa felt a dull pain in his heart.But this villain, he had to do it.

The more ruthless and decisive Yuan Li is, the more he can dispel the general's thoughts.

Yang Zhongfa let out a foul breath, and he was ready to be hated by Chu Hechao.

Yuan Li said: "Master Yang, please wait a moment."

Yang Zhongfa was taken aback for a moment, then nodded without knowing why.Unexpectedly, two quarters of an hour later, Lin Tian's voice sounded outside the study door, "Master, someone is here."

people?Who else is coming?

Yang Zhongfa was puzzled and looked outside the study door.

Yuan Li said: "Come in."

Lin Tian opened the door, and Liu Jixin, Guo Mao, Zhao Ying, Wu Kai, and Wang Er walked into the study behind him.

Yang Zhongfa turned pale in astonishment, what are these people doing here? !

After the five people met with Yuanli and Chu Hechao respectively, Liu Jixin took the lead and asked, "Is there something to order from my lord?"

Yuan Li smiled: "No rush, you guys sit down first."

Everyone sat down as promised, and Liu Jixin was sitting opposite Yang Zhongfa. He nodded slightly to Yang Zhongfa, and Yang Zhongfa responded stiffly.Liu Jixin was curious, why did he feel something was wrong with Mr. Yang today?

After everyone sat down, Yuan Li opened his mouth slowly: "The people who come here tonight are all my trusted confidantes."

Liu Jixin and the others put on a smile on their faces, and said quickly: "Thank you, my lord, for your attention."

Yuan Li looked at the faces of his subordinates one by one, and said solemnly: "I have something to tell you. This matter is of great importance. If anyone other than you finds out, both the general and I will be ruined. He was despised and scolded by the people of the world."

!

Several people were taken aback by these words.Guo Mao and Liu Jixin glanced at each other quickly, cold sweat broke out on Guo Mao's forehead, and his heart was beating like a drumstick.

What kind of thing is it that makes the protagonist say such words as "being ruined" and "being despised and scolded by the people of the world"?

Liu Jixin was also in a state of surprise, having already thought of thousands of bad things.

Wang Er, Wu Kai, and Zhao Ying looked dignified. The loyalty of these five people to Yuanli was single-minded. It will not be disclosed to the outside world.”

Yuan Li looked relieved, and he looked at Guo Mao who came to him the latest among the five and was also the most cautious, "If Pingzhi is afraid of this, he can leave now, I won't blame you. "

Guo Mao really thought of leaving for a moment, but in the next moment, he suppressed this thought tightly.

He knew that if he left, he would never gain Yuanli's trust again.And after staying here to listen to the "secret", they can only be tied to Yuanli.They are all prosperous, and all are damaged. If Guo Mao wants to leave in the future, there will only be a "death" situation.

Guo Mao has always been afraid of such secrets, but Guo Mao has waited for 30 years and only waited for this Bole in Yuanli, this one-in-a-million lord.Yuan Li is the man of destiny, the virtuous lord in his dream, with such a great opportunity in front of him, how could Guo Mao push him away?

His expression gradually became firm, and finally he lifted up his robe and knelt down, and bowed to Yuan Li, "Since Guo called you my lord, he was willing to die for his lord, and he would do anything without hesitation. If there is a word of falsehood , let a certain five thunders crash to the top and die."

"Okay!" Yuan Li said in a loud voice, "I believe in you! Get up soon, and sit down too!"

Looking at this scene, Yang Zhongfa already vaguely guessed what Yuanli was going to say.

But, this is different from what he imagined.

Yuan Li breathed out a turbid breath, calmly held Chu Hechao's hand, and said to everyone present: "The general and I are already husband and wife."

……

……what?

A bolt from the blue exploded over everyone's heads.

After a long time, they looked at Yuanli in disbelief, then at Chu Hechao, and finally at their hands.

The lord and the general are together? !

how can that be!

Chu Hechao looked down at Yuanli's hand, his expression was weird for a moment, and then he held Yuanli with his backhand without any change in expression.

When did they become husband and wife?

How could he not know.

How could Liu Jixin, Guo Mao and the others know what Chu Hechao was thinking, their legs were so frightened that their legs were weak, if the lord hadn't just told them to sit on the chairs, they would have fallen to the ground embarrassingly.

Guo Mao smiled wryly and wiped the sweat from his head, so it was so, so it was such a secret, no wonder the lord was so serious about it.

On the side, Wu Kai turned his neck stiffly to look at Wang Er, "Brother Wang, did I mishear the Lord's words?"

Wang Er was also stunned, and stuttered when he spoke, "Brother Wu, I, I, I, I'm afraid I heard it wrong too."

Yes, they must have heard wrong.

Otherwise, how could they have heard the lord say that he and the general are married?
