I'm a bully in troubled times

Qi Ranming tilted his head slightly, caressing Jiang Yu's face, his lips pressed against the corners of Jiang Yu's lips, and when he spoke, his hot breath hit Jiang Yu's face.The indescribable tenderness and indescribable reluctance.

He whispered: "I will come back well, and I will miss you. I will end the battle as soon as possible, don't worry."

In the next two days, since parting was imminent, Jiang Yu would get rid of his official duties as soon as possible, and hand over all the things he could not help himself to handle, in the name of training them.Then take the time to go home.

The same is true for Qi Ranming. After he has done almost what he should do, he assigns tasks to his subordinates and asks them to practice by themselves, while he slips back home.

It's almost like a private meeting.

But the next day, Marquis Yan called Qi Ranming into the palace, and told Qi Ranming that he was going to lead the army.On Qixi Festival, it was announced in the court hall that troops would be sent to aid the Song Dynasty, and Qi Ranming would be the commander of the Chinese army.

Qi Ran will be young next year, only 22 this year, and he is also a newcomer in the court, so when the Marquis of Yan issued this order, there were doubts between the court and the opposition.

But Qi Ranming was recommended by Jiang Yu to join the court, and now the reformers have the upper hand in the court, most of the reformers are Jiang Yu's cronies, and no one questioned Yanhou's decision face to face.

After all, these days, I heard that Qi Ranming is quite prestigious in the army.

Qi Ranming had just been awarded the title of Supreme Master. When he entered the army, he had already been questioned by tens of thousands of his subordinates. A young man who was only 22 years old and had little experience, what qualifications did he have to lead them?

However, Qi Ranming held a group arena match and beat everyone into silence.

Qi Ran clearly puts on the ring, he is the master of the ring, as long as anyone can knock him out of the ring, he will be considered a loser.In fact, this is a very unfair way of playing, after all, he only has one person, but his subordinates are numerous.

At that time, everyone was full of confidence. No matter how powerful Qi Ranming's martial arts were, they were still not enough in front of crowd tactics.

However, with Qi Ranming's unparalleled martial arts skills, profound internal strength, and unrivaled swordsmanship in the world, everyone has seen what it means to be in charge of a single man.Ordinary centurions and thousands of commanders are not Qi Ranming's all-in-one enemy at all, let alone those pampered nobles.

Even Wei Boyong, under Qi Ranming's hands, could not go through a hundred moves and was about to lose.

This group arena match between the troops in Jicheng made Qi Ranming famous.

People in the ranks are much more straightforward and simpler than those in the officialdom, and the one with big fists is the last word.So after this fight, no one in the army would dare to question Qi Ranming anymore.

On the evening of Qixi Festival, both of them finished their official duties and returned home.

Qixi Festival is a big day, especially for young men and women.In this era, folk customs are open. Apart from the Lantern Festival and Shangsi Festival, Qixi Festival is the annual meeting day for men and women. As a rule, daughters have to wear needles to beg for luck and look at the autumn moon.

As the sky was getting dark, Jiang Yu called Qi Ranming to the mansion to have dinner together, and then went out together.

Although it is only a crescent moon tonight, the sky is beautiful, the moon is bright and the wind is clear, and the stars are shining brightly. It is a good day to meet.

The street has been bustling since the second and third day of July.On the night of Qixi Festival, there are many people on the street, and the lights are brilliant, and the painting buildings are decorated with lights and festoons, commensurate with the moonlight and starlight in the sky. It seems that even the stars are compared with the red lanterns and appear dark.

Jiang Yu changed into regular clothes and was dressed in white, with luxurious and delicate patterns embroidered with gold thread on the skirt and sleeve edges.Qi Ranming is usually dressed in black, but tonight he also changed into a moon-white robe, with a jade crown and hair tied up. At first glance, his sharpness and indifference have all subsided, and he looks like a remote young man who is as good as a jade in Moshang. .

Qi Ranming was young and handsome in the first place, but this way of dressing up and walking through the crowd with Jiang Yu also attracted many young girls to turn their heads back frequently.

Jiang Yu held Qi Ranming's hand tightly under the long sleeve, and when he saw someone looking at Qi Ranming, he pulled the person closer to him, so close that the two of them were almost leaning against Qi Ranming's arms.

Qi Ranming felt crowded and pushed him.

Then Jiang Yu whispered in his ear: "They are all looking at you."

Qi Ranming looked up and replied: "Nonsense, they are clearly looking at you."

Jiang Yu snorted dissatisfiedly, took Qi Ranming's hand and walked towards a girl who had been staring at Qi Ranming's blushing.

The girl did not expect that two such handsome men would walk towards her, her round, white and tender face was reddish, but her eyes were shining brightly at Qi Ranming.

At this time Jiang Yu smiled slightly at the girl.

This smile dazzled the girl's eyes.

Then Jiang Yu pointed to Qi Ranming and asked, "Is he pretty?"

The girl looked at Qi Ranming and nodded shyly.

Jiang Yu said, "Mine."

Then she tilted her head and kissed Qi Ranming's face.

"..." Qi Ranming frowned in dissatisfaction, but couldn't hide the smile in his eyes, and pushed Jiang Yu, "The public..."

Girl: "........."

Seeing Jiang Yu's strong possessiveness towards Qi Ranming, and Qi Ranming's seemingly unwilling but happy little expression, the girl's mood collapsed a bit.

She almost cried because of Jiang Yu's teasing, she gave Jiang Yu a red-eyed look, turned around and ran away.

Jiang Yu: "Hahahahaha..."

Qi Ranming: "..."

"He's a little girl, why are you teasing her like this?"

Jiang Yu said: "Who told her to keep looking at you? If I hadn't been here, she would have come up to talk to you, maybe she would have to report her family background and ask about yours."

Qi Ranming: "You are too petty."

Jiang Yu nodded solemnly, as if very proud: "Very petty."

Qi Ranming had nothing to do with him.

"Shameless," he said.

The two of them walked through the market together. There were many people selling melon and fruit snacks, some selling various trinkets, and some trying to guess lantern riddles.

When I got to the river, I saw a lotus lantern. A lantern was lit in the middle of the pink and white lotus. As the river drifted away, one lantern after another, more and more, illuminated the entire river.

"Shall we go to light lotus lanterns too?" Jiang Yu asked.

Qi Ranming nodded.

Jiang Yu led Qi Ranming to the riverside. There were lotus lanterns by the riverside, and Jiang Yu and Qi Ranming each took one.

I saw that the petals of the lotus were overlapping, making them look like real ones. There was a red candle in the middle. When the red candle was lit, the red flame illuminated the petals.

The two walked along the river for a while, and stopped at a place where there were fewer and fewer people.They both actually like quiet.

"When you put it down, make a wish," Jiang Yu said, "let go of the lotus lantern after making the wish, and let it float away along the water. You can't say your wish, or it won't work."

Jiang Yu introduced to Qi Ranming in a serious manner.

Qi Ranming nodded solemnly.

Jiang Yu asked again: "Have you ever lit a lotus lantern?"

Qi Ranming shook his head: "No."

Jiang Yu smiled: "Well, today is your first time lighting lotus lanterns. You did it with me for the first time. We will light lotus lanterns together every year from now on."

Qi Ranming also smiled slightly: "Okay."

After Jiang Yu finished speaking, he squatted down/body, leaned over and put the lotus lantern on the water, made a silent wish in his heart, looked up at Qi Ranming, and then let go.The lotus lantern began to float with the water.

Qi Ranming also imitated him, put down the lotus lantern, made a wish in his heart, then couldn't help smiling, and let go.

At this moment, a gust of wind blows, blowing Qi Ranming's lotus lantern away.

Jiang Yu leaned over and asked, "What wish did you make?"

Qi Ranming looked at him with some amusement: "Didn't you say that it won't work if you say it? Why do you still ask me?"

Jiang Yu: "I'll just ask casually, just out of curiosity."

The evening wind blew Jiang Yu's long hair like ink, and he was dressed in white, and Qi Ranming felt as if he was 12 years ago when he first met Jiang Yu.At that time, he was also like now, wearing a simple and elegant white dress, with a warm smile in his eyes.

Twelve years have passed in a flash, but this person has not changed at all.

"You look at me like this again," Jiang Yu said suddenly, Qi Ranming recovered slightly, and heard Jiang Yu continue, "I'm going to kiss you."

Qi Ranming smiled and turned away, paused, but then took another step forward and touched Jiang Yu's lips.Without waiting for Jiang Yu to hold him down for a while longer, Qi Ranming pushed Jiang Yu away and walked along the river alone.

Jiang Yu looked at Qi Ranming's back and smiled, touched his lips, and licked it. Although it was just a superficial touch, it was enough to leave an endless aftertaste.

Jiang Yu quickly caught up with Qi Ranming, pulled him forward, and said, "I'll take you somewhere."

"Where?"

"You'll know when you go."

What Jiang Yu took Qi Ranming to was a Qiqiao building on the bank of the river.This Qiqiao Building is just at the widest part of the river, where the water flow is the gentlest. The crescent moon in the sky and the stars in the sky are reflected in the water.All the stars in the sky swayed in the evening wind, shaking one's mind.

"This upstairs has a good view." Jiang Yu said, the place he had prepared in advance, no outsiders went upstairs, only the two of them, Jiang Yu pulled Qi Ranming upstairs.

From the stairs to the second floor, there is a small attic with curtains at the four corners fluttering in the wind, and a small table in the center with some melons, fruits, desserts and a jug of wine.Sitting here and looking out, you can see the moon in the sky and the moon in the water, and you can also see the crowded and lively street of Fangcai Street.

But the noise floated across the water, and with the evening wind blowing, it felt a little hazy, it didn't seem noisy, but it seemed more quiet and elegant here.

"How is it here?" Jiang Yu led Qi Ranming in.

He leaned on the fence and looked into the distance, looking at the place where the mountains and the sky meet in the dark night at the end of the sky.

Jiang Yu let out a long breath of turbid air, and felt that the pressure that had been suppressed in his heart for several months seemed to be dispelled.

"It's elegant and unique, and the landscape is interesting, very good." Qi Ranming said.

Jiang Yu turned around and reached out to Qi Ranming.

His eyes were full of starlight.

Qi Ranming stepped forward as if bewitched, and took Jiang Yu's hand.Jiang Yu's palm was warm and clean, it was the temperature that Qi Ranming was very familiar with, the temperature that he never forgot.

As soon as his hand touched it, Jiang Yu pulled it along, turned around, and pressed him against the vermilion lacquer column in the corner.Jiang Yu reached out to the small table, and under the action of internal force, the pot of wine was instantly sucked into his hand.

Jiang Yu narrowed her eyes slightly, raised her head and took a sip, then lowered her head and kissed Qi Ranming's lips with a mouthful of spicy wine.

The strong wine entered his throat, entered his heart, and turned into a strong but unspeakable affection, so strong that it almost swallowed Jiang Yu.Never before has he been filled with such deep emotions for a person like this moment.

Love and reluctance melted into a slightly rough kiss.

Reluctant, reluctant, the sound of the wind, the sound of heavy breathing, the sound of a thunderous heartbeat entered my ears, Jiang Yu's hand clasping the back of Qi Ranming's head almost trembled.
