right after

It was a white misty morning, autumn dew hit the withered grass leaves on the side of the road, both sides of the city road were full of ghosts, the whole country was empty, and everyone looked depressed.

Murong Bai stood on the left hand side of Bei Hanjian. The news from the front line had already been sent back. After Han Qing won the battle, he stayed in Guifangguo Town for more than a month before returning. land.

The white fog was too great. When a camel bell brought the returning people slowly into the city, everyone saw a white paper lantern with the word "Ming" looming in the fog. Its desolate and weak light could not penetrate the thick white paper. fog.

With the appearance of the lantern, there is a vermilion coffin in a corner of the white mist. It is much larger than ordinary coffins. The beautiful coffin body painted with red lacquer and gold is carved with two lifelike dragons and phoenixes intertwined with each other. The coffin is tied with plump white ghost flowers. .

"Cough cough cough..."

Murong Bai stared at Fu Ling who coughed in a low voice. The thin man in black with a hood couldn't help pinching his fingers.

"It's cold in the north." Bai Bian supported the man in black's arm with one hand, took off the hood on his head, and reminded him in his ear.

"I can smell the smell of the land here." The man in black raised his head, his narrow eyes were dull, his thin cheeks were thin and sunken, his paleness was thick and colorful, and even the white mist could hardly cover it.

Murong Bai felt that Han Qing was three or four times thinner than before when he left, and the black clothes on his body were empty even when the wind blew, carrying the depression that came from spring to winter.

"We're home." Han Qing's expression was very gentle, and her slender fingers gently stroked the body of the coffin like a lover's body, and said softly.

Seeing his affectionate look, Bai Bian felt dejected and lowered his eyes in silence.If it is said that Han Qing has lost weight, then Bai Bian is much older and bitterer. This kind of oldness should not appear in young people, especially when he is not yet twenty-nine years old.

Bai Bian had dark circles under his eyes, and his expression was extremely tired. There was a thread on his body that would break at any time, but his attention was tightly tied to Han Qing.

"Brother-in-law, my condolences..." Bei Hanjian walked forward at some point, touched Bei Hanjing's coffin, and comforted him hoarsely.

"Hmm..." Han Qing responded softly, with a dazed expression on her face, not knowing where her thoughts turned.

The hearse began to move slowly again, Han Qing faltered, and Murong Bai cried out worriedly: "Hwarang..."

Han Qing walked past him as if he didn't see him, Murong Bai was so cold that he didn't even say a word.

Murong Bai looked at the back of Han Qing going away, and clenched his fingers, wishing to catch up, but he suddenly remembered that Han Qing broke up with him, after Bei Hanjian made him an official, and they had a quarrel, Han Qing Never said a word to him again.

Because the inappropriate angry words at the beginning not only caused Bai Bian to misunderstand and run away from home, but also pushed Han Qing away.

Han Qing had indeed changed, and Bai Bian's intervention made their friendship deteriorate.Murong Bai clearly understood this time that Han Qing may have given up their friendship, but so what if he is unwilling to repent?

Murong Bai was sitting in the tavern, his handsome figure was outstanding, since he moved out of the princess mansion, he would order a pot of Zhuyeqing every day in the tavern next to his home to relieve his worries.

Murong Bai sat in that restaurant from late autumn to severe winter, and the common people gradually forgot about the passing of the princess.Murong Bai didn't expect that what was waiting was not Han Qing's reunion, but his male concubine Bai Bian's apology.

Bai Bian's condition is even worse than before, when Murong Bai was sitting in the seat that belonged to him as always, he saw Bai Bian coming from a distance in a simple and neat winter coat, he thought to himself.

Bai Bian seemed to be looking for him, and stood five feet away from him for a long time, looking at him anxiously and with some hesitation, the two met eyes, Bai Bian seemed to have been stepped on The cat gritted its teeth and turned away.

Murong Bai: "..."

Murong Bai drank hot wine there, but the next day, Bai Bian came again, as long as he looked over, he would leave immediately, this happened several times.

On the seventh day, Bai Bian came from afar, looking at him from time to time, like an ant on a hot pot, the two met their eyes, and Bai Bian gritted his teeth and left again.

"Bai Bian." Murong Bai stopped him this time.

Bai Bian stopped, turned around slowly, Murong Bai held up a pot of green bamboo leaves in his hand, and said invitingly: "I think you also need to relieve your worries."

Bai Bian approached hesitantly, before sitting down, Murong Bai ordered the shopkeeper to bring another jug ​​of new wine and a clean cup.

Murong Bai pushed the glass filled with wine in front of Bai Bian, his star eyes asked gently: "I see that you don't look well recently, drink some wine to warm up."

Bai Bian took out a brocade handkerchief with "white" tattooed on it from his sleeve, and a brocade brocade embroidered with a naive black cat. He carefully wiped the rim of the cup, thanked him, and carefully put the brocade handkerchief on the cup. Fang Jinpa put it back into the padded jacket, and Murong Bai recognized that it was Han Qing's stitches.

Under his eyes, Bai Bian drank the glass of wine cautiously, bowed his head and did not speak.

Murong Bai refilled another cup of hot wine for him, Bai Bian lowered his head, and swallowed it without saying a word.

Murong Bai refilled the third cup of hot wine for him, Bai Bian silently raised the glass, as if swallowing endless pain in one gulp.

"You'll get drunk if you drink like this." Murong Bai put the flagon aside, and looked at him steadfastly with his sleeves folded.

Bai Bian pinched the wine cup tangledly, as if he had finally made up his mind, he raised his red eyes, obviously this male concubine had encountered a great grievance and had no choice but to look for his "rival in love".

"I'm looking for you because of Han Qing. Han Qing didn't associate with you before, and I forced him to sever ties with you. If you are angry, you can attack me. I hope you don't resent him."

Bai Bian looked at Murong Bai steadfastly, as if Murong Bai had done something unreasonable to them.

"But he chose you, and we don't communicate with each other. It's not just in line with your wishes. Now what to do again." Murong Bai held the cup and said patiently.

"I hope you can reconcile." Bai Bian said with some reluctance.

"He asked you to come?" Murong Bai asked while playing with a peanut in his hand.

"No, I decided to come by myself. After listening to what I said, you will know why I came to you." Bai Bian said after a long pause.

Murong Bai made a gesture of please.

"You should know that during the battle on the front line, sister Jing was beheaded to death, and Han Qing was beheaded."

Murong Bai nodded.

"This incident started with Sister Jing's death." Bai Bian took a deep breath, pinched the wine cup uneasily, and began to think about how to tell the story.

"Just start from the beginning." Murong Bai said, nodding.

"After Sister Jing's death, I woke up with the same nightmare every night. Every time I felt empty next to my pillow, I finally found Han Qing lying in the coffin and sleeping with Sister Jing. Han Qing disappeared again and again in the middle of the night. The first time I slept with Sister Jing, he said that he was afraid that Sister Jing would be alone with her, so I endured it, after all, the dead are the most important, so I accompanied him outside the coffin to guard Sister Jing.

However, it has been 49 days since Sister Jing's body was parked, and Han Qing is still reluctant to bury her body.

Bei Hanjian couldn't bear it, and sent someone to forcefully bury Sister Jing's body, but I did support him this time.Han Qing was furious because of this incident, locked herself in the room to vent her anger on us, refused to eat and drink, and insisted that we dig out Sister Jing's body and return it to him. "

"Do you want me to persuade him that the deceased rest in peace?" Murong Bai could imagine Bai Bian's difficult situation, facing Han Qing who was obsessed with the news of Bei Hanjing's death.

"No, two months have passed since Sister Jing's burial. I didn't find you because of this matter. Rather, it was caused by this matter." Bai Bian held the cup tightly, as if he couldn't get out of it. I came back to my senses in horror.

Murong Bai was puzzled: "What happened?"

"I came back from Guifang, and I slept with Han Qing all the way at night. You know that young people are full of blood, and it is inevitable that I need to sleep with Han Qing, not to mention that Han Qing is so beautiful and indescribable, and it is very difficult. Someone is holding on to it.

But I'm worried that it's not suitable to have sex during sister Han Qingjing's death, so to be precise, Han Qing and I haven't had sex for almost three months.It wasn't until Sister Jing was buried in peace and Han Qing's mood stabilized that I wanted to ask him to solve his physical needs.

However, I found that Han Qing was still missing every night during sister Jing's filial piety, and had already had a relationship with someone else, more than once, you know I cured him of the epimedium poison when I ran away from home.He said he doesn't like men, but his actual actions have long since violated..."

When Bai Bian said this, bloodshot eyes appeared in his eyes, and he tried his best to hide his anger and helplessness.

"You mean Han Qing...stealing?" Murong Bai was slightly surprised, he couldn't believe that Han Qing was a flirtatious man.

Murong Bai just wanted to deny it, but in a blink of an eye he remembered that after he saved Han Qing from Juqing Cliff, in the garden of the inn, he witnessed Han Qing and Bailixi having an affair and sinking into the ocean of desire, and he remained silent.

"You know why I drove Bailixi away, you know why I didn't let Han Qing approach you, that's right, I don't believe in Han Qing's determination in my heart.

I love him very much, but he has betrayed me many times. As long as he completely cut off contact with other men, I can still relax the bottom line and forgive his infidelity.However, this time is different from the previous situation, I blamed him..."

An uncontrollable panic appeared on Bai Bian's face, he couldn't even hold the wine cup, his lips began to tremble.

"Why is it different?" Murong Bai grabbed Guan Jianyan and asked.

"I wanted to catch the rape, and secretly poked open the window paper, but found that he was cheating on me again. No, to be more precise, he was cheating on me who looked exactly like me, but that person was not me. That I may be...not human.

Do you know what I mean?My nightmare has come true, it has found me recently, and it will take my head and face away at any time, and replace me alive! Seeing that there was no one beside him, Bai Bian said excitedly.

"How do you know that it's not someone else who pretends to be yours, but some monster or goblin who takes yours? Is it because Doctor Bai wants to change his career and become a magician?"

Murong Bai chuckled, obviously he didn't believe what Bai Bian said, it was simply nonsense.

"His tongue is a snake letter, his eyes are red, and there is a golden diamond mark on his forehead. When he breathes out white, Han Qing will be emotional. Sometimes he will become a human, and sometimes his body will become It has a red snake body that is thicker than thighs, and there are two golden threads on its side. You say this is not a demon, what is it?"

Seeing that Murong Bai didn't believe it, Bai Bian was very angry.

"Wait, there is a snake I know that looks quite similar to it." Murong Bai suddenly remembered in his memory that Fan Moya once summoned a giant red snake with a diamond-shaped symbol on his forehead.

I don't know what the origin of the two snakes is...

"You know that snake demon?" Bai Bian was incredulous.

"I'll take a look with you at night." Murong Bai said after a long thought.
