Everyone loves Huo Qubing

The spring breeze is blowing and intoxicating. In Shanglin Garden, the trees are sprouting and the mountain flowers are in full bloom.

"Tomorrow is the holiday for recruits. I will let you go early today, and we will all gather here the morning after tomorrow. Don't be late."

After the instructor announced, everyone cheered.

"Silence!" The instructor stopped the recruits who were scattered like birds and beasts, "Those who live in the capital are allowed to go home to visit relatives. Those who live in Longxi and Beidi, I advise you to give up the idea of ​​going home and stay in the camp to rest honestly. Don't spend the whole holiday. All delayed on the road."

I stretched out my arms and signaled to the soldiers behind me: "I'm leaving, you go home too."

There was a sound of horseshoes in the distance, the eunuch dismounted, trotted over in a hurry, chatted with the instructor, and cupped his hands at me: "Mr. Huo, please enter the palace with your servant."

"Why did Your Majesty recall calling the ministers to live in the palace?" I followed the eunuch curiously.

"Didn't General Gongsun tell you? General Wei has left Beijing for Yanmen Pass."

"What is Uncle going to Yanmen Pass for?" I began to have a bad premonition.

"My maidservant heard that Yi Zhixie Shanyu sent [-] cavalry to invade the northern border to make trouble, and General Wei went in person to stabilize the army's morale." The eunuch explained as he walked.

Hearing that the second uncle was going to guard the border, the sense of loss was overwhelming and swept over.During this month, whether it was training or standing guard, I did not rely on thinking of my uncle all the time to survive until today.I finally got a vacation, but was told that I couldn’t see my uncle. I finally realized the torment of what Cao Xiang said, “It’s like three autumns apart”.

The eunuch stopped suddenly, I was immersed in my own little world, and almost bumped into him.

A row of guards lined up at the entrance of the Xuanshi Hall, and the small yellow gate let the eunuch in and stopped me at the gate.

"Your Majesty is still discussing matters, please wait a moment."

There was a gurgling sound in the hall, and I pricked up my ears.

"...Returning to Your Majesty, the crown prince said that King Youxian had a quarrel with King Zuoguli, and now King Zuoguli established himself as Shanyu, King Youxian professed to be a minister on the surface, and he was very dissatisfied in his heart."

"Then, does King You Xian have any intention of submitting to our Han?"

"The crown prince said that after King You Xian conquered the Da Yuezhi Kingdom, he got their fertile pastures and lived a life of luxury and luxury, and he was not willing to surrender to the Han."

After a moment of silence, the emperor's voice reappeared.

"How many people did the prince bring to join us?"

"The crown prince said that all his subordinates, including the Eight Little Kings, the Twelve Xihous, the clansmen and military officials, and the [-] elite cavalry, have successfully entered the pass."

"Very good, very good, I asked Da Xing to order Li Xihao to settle these people, and there must be no one who deserves a reward."

"Your Majesty, Mr. Huo has arrived."

"Closing camp so early today?"

The door of the palace opened with a "squeak", and the emperor walked out casually, followed by several Chinese and Korean officials leading a group of people in Huns' outfits.Take a closer look at the person at the head, with a high nose bridge and deep eye frames, a circle of gold-encrusted ornaments around his forehead, three rows of gold-encrusted bone chains hanging on his chest, and all kinds of golden wrists and ankles. It is a walking golden statue.

Presumably there is only one foreigner who dares to display his noble status when he comes to Weiyang Palace.

"I just discussed something with Yu Dan, and there was some delay." The emperor seemed quite happy today, and held my hand in front of the Xiongnu prince and his party, "Let's go have dinner together. The food in the military camp is not good, so Qubing must be hungry broken."

The delicious food in the Qilin Hall is fragrant, and the wine is intertwined.

"Eat slowly, don't choke." The emperor patted me on the back, "It seems that I am really hungry. Chuntuo, you go to send a message to Lao Ao at night, telling them to improve their food starting tomorrow."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." I raised my head and gave the people around me a grateful look, and continued to eat happily.

"Ask Yu Dan how skilled the cooks in the palace are." After the singing and dancing were over, the emperor ordered the translator.

"Return to Your Majesty, the prince said that he is not used to the corn of the Han Dynasty." The translator replied respectfully to the emperor.

"What about these barbecues?" Tianzi pointed to a table full of beef, sheep and deer that were charred on the outside and tender on the inside. "These are all the new prey that Uncle Zi caught today."

Yu Dan flipped through the leg bone in his hand, snorted softly, and turned his head to the translator to chatter.

After hesitating for a moment, the translator decided to reply truthfully: "The prince said that the meat is too hot to cut and there is no blood, so it is not good for grilling."

After finishing speaking, the translator looked nervously at the emperor.

The emperor was taken aback when he heard this, but he was not angry. He turned his head and gave his uncle a consoling smile: "It seems that this kid Yu Dan has elite soldiers in his hands, but Yi Zhi chased him diagonally and beat him on the back. There is a reason for this."

The translator had the self-consciousness of a translator. He didn't translate the emperor's words to Yu Shan, but just bowed again: "Your Majesty, the crown prince would like to ask, who is the son next to Your Majesty?"

"My subject is—" I just opened my mouth to introduce myself, but was interrupted by the emperor when I didn't want to.

"Wait a moment." The emperor bared his teeth, showed me a sly look, turned to the translator and said, "You translate for him, this is my son."

As soon as the voice fell, I glanced at the people around me who suddenly fell into silence, and calmly continued to fill my stomach.I have become accustomed to the emperor's personality of teasing people anytime and anywhere, so there is nothing surprising about it.

"Disrespect, disrespect." The translator cupped his hands cautiously, "Excuse me, Your Majesty, which country's vassal is this?"

"I really can't think of a better king for you for a while." After thinking for a while, the emperor turned his head and smiled at the translator, "Well, tell Yu Dan that this is the prince of Han."

"Disrespect, disrespect." After hearing this, Yu Dan's eyes lit up immediately, he put down the barbecue in his hand, learned and sold the translator's words just now, and added some Xiongnu words.

"What did he say?" the emperor asked curiously.

The translator glanced at me, who was tearing and wrestling with the venison with my mouth full of oil.

"Your Majesty, the crown prince said that the crown prince of the Han Dynasty is beautiful and beautiful, and he is a dragon and a phoenix among men."

***

"Brother, am I beautiful?" The 13-year-old Wei Chang's cousin still likes to dangle in front of me as always.Today, the Wei family followed His Majesty to the north of the city to offer sacrifices. The carefully dressed Chief Wei was dressed in a lake blue skirt with red dan on his lips, just like a young aunt.

"Beautiful." I raised my sleeves and secretly yawned.It is really difficult not to doze off during the worship of the eight gods of the ruins, not to mention that I didn't fall asleep at all last night, and I followed all the way to Yongjiao with two dark circles under my eyes.

The star curtain is low, the banquet in the Qilin Hall has long ended, and the spring water in the Greenhouse Hall is full of heat.The all-too-familiar face reflected in the water was flushing as red as a boiled shrimp—I swear, it must be caused by the water being too hot.

"Qubing has really grown up." The emperor leaned against the pool, staring at me who submerged himself in the water, only showing his eyes and nose, "However, you are hiding so far from me now, what will you do in the future? Where is my personal guard?"

I twisted my legs and carefully swam a little far away before I floated up, spit out the spring water in my mouth, and said the request I had been holding back for more than 30 days: "Please allow me to go to the Xiaoqi Camp to serve."

"You don't want to stay in Jianzhangying?"

"Your Majesty, kings don't use officials personally." I said aggrievedly, "It's not that I don't want to be your Majesty's personal guard, I just don't think I have the qualifications."

"'Beautiful beauty, dragon and phoenix among men', no one is more qualified to be my personal guard than Qu Bing." The emperor sneered, while calmly scanning the fake Han prince up and down, he repeated The flattering comments left by the prince of the Huns during the dinner.

I frowned in pain.Staying in Jianzhangying means that I need to continue to stay by His Majesty's side.

"Okay, just to tease you. If you really don't want to stay in Jianzhangying, I can't force you." The emperor climbed out of the hot spring, and the servants who surrounded him wiped and changed his clothes, "Come out quickly after washing, soaking for too long Be careful of catching a cold."

Wolf smoke rises everywhere, Qiang flute wails, yellow dust covers the sun, and there is a scene of gold and iron horses.

I grunted and sat up in shock.Looking around, everything is silent, the new moon hangs on the branches outside the window, and the Yanmen Pass is thousands of miles away.

The tragic scene in the dream is intertwined with the training situation during the day, and it is true that I think about it every day and dream at night.

There was a rustle in the room.

"Qubing, did you have a nightmare?"

"Sorry to disturb your rest."

I took a deep breath and was about to lie down again when the voice of the Son of Heaven came again.

"The couch outside is uncomfortable, come and sleep."

"It's okay, I'm used to sleeping."

"come over."

"……promise."

Having begun to be trained to instinctively respond to orders, I reluctantly lifted the curtain of the emperor's bedroom.The rich fragrance of styrax rushed towards my face, and the emperor patted the dragon couch beside him, motioning for me to sit down.

"Thinking of your uncle?"

"Yes." I readily admitted.

"Zhongqing's trip here is just to deal with some aftermath matters, and to set up the army to boost morale, you don't have to worry about him." The other party leaned forward and put the warm brocade quilt on my shoulders.

"I understand." I turned my head to avoid the man's gaze.

"Qubing." Xin's long arms wrapped me in his arms, and the deep voice of the emperor rang in my ears, "I have been thinking about what you said before. You said that you are not qualified to enter Zhangying, why?"

reason?It's actually kind of ridiculous.After several struggles, I decided to reply truthfully: "Because those who enter Jianzhangying must be from a good family."

"Stupid boy, who are you listening to nonsense?" Stretching out his hand to ruffle my drooping black hair, the other party couldn't help laughing, "You have been released from slavery a long time ago, why are you not a good family?"

I closed my eyes and smiled wryly: "But I don't know who my father is."

"You are so pure-hearted that you actually worry about this matter. It's easy to handle." The emperor suddenly stood up, his deep pupils were condescending, he looked straight into my eyes, his thin lips parted slightly, and he spit out words that shocked me——

"How about I be your father?"

I stared at the man close at hand in disbelief, expecting to find a hint of teasing from his expression, just like he usually jokes and jokes on a whim, trying to tease his courtiers.

However to no avail.Unlike when he was teasing the prince of the Xiongnu at the dinner party, the other party has a serious expression at this moment, as if he is seriously waiting for me to give him a reply, and it can only be an affirmative reply.

The moonlight shines like practice, spilling into the room along the green window pavilion of the greenhouse hall.The curtain swayed gently, like a dream.

This man who sat in the Middle Earth and conquered the world suddenly announced that he would be my father.Without warning, it came suddenly, and the simple words easily disturbed my complicated mood.

Time passed bit by bit in the close look at each other.

The other party's eyes gradually filled with disappointment. After almost a long silence, he finally gave up waiting for my answer.

The heat of the breath is entwined with each other, covering up the ever-accelerating heartbeat.

"Qubing, stay by my side."

Commanding me again with an unquestionable tone, the emperor overturned and rubbed lightly on my lips.His hand slid in along the gap of the hem of my underwear, his warm palm touched the skin around my waist, feeling my convulsion and shivering for a moment.

The cockroaches that had been teased by the hot spring suddenly steamed up, like a flood that opened the gate, and the force applied to the lips and tongue quickly became overbearing, until I dodged out of breath.The man's heavy and muscular body pressed me back to the couch, and his slightly callused fingertips took the opportunity to slide across my lower abdomen and go down, gently tracing the outline of Yang Feng's cock.

I suddenly reached out and grabbed the restless wrist.

The heat between the lips and teeth evacuated, and the rapid breathing echoed in the silent bedroom.The other party looked down at me with the inevitable gaze, those sharp black eyes were like a falcon, overlooking its imminent prey.

But I'm not going to give in.

It seems that several hours have passed, and it seems that there is only a short moment.Finally, after a sigh, the man reluctantly let go of his hand.

"It's okay if you're not ready, I'm willing to wait for you." The other party wrapped my arms around my waist, like hugging a buckwheat pillow.He buried his chin into the socket of my neck, brushed his short mustache across my sensitive ears, and dropped a few light kisses on my shoulder blades, "Sleep, I have to get up early tomorrow and go on my way."

The person behind snored lightly.In the dark, I opened my eyes wide and stared at the golden dragon on the beam until the east turned pale.

***

The wind in the mountains and forests blows across the starry sky in the spring night, reflecting the dead trees around, with their swaying branches, leaving shadows all over the eyes.

The two feathered arrows left the string at the same time and sank into the two grass targets at the end.

After the sacrifice, I finally failed to return to the barracks on time.Instructor Xu has obviously received an order not to punish me personally, but just left a sentence to let me punish myself.

When I took out the feathered arrows from the quiver again, the strange lights around the shooting range appeared in a daze before my eyes.

That night was not the first time His Majesty showed love to me.With his stubborn character, obviously it won't be the last time.The fear of the unknown future invaded me gradually, and I almost sank into his watery tenderness.I don't know how many times I can refuse the other party's sweet words, even, I don't understand why I am so persistent in sticking to the position that doesn't exist at all.

Uncle's gentle smile suddenly flashed before my eyes, successfully pulling me away from the swamp of confusion and love.Looking at the bright moon on the top of the tree again, I went to Heshuo Grassland to play and found that the moon in the north is as round as the capital city.

"The loss rate is only one-tenth, not bad." Suddenly there was a burst of applause from the side.I put away my bow and heard the reputation.

The voice came from someone I didn't expect.Xin Zhao, dressed in a Hu suit, was sitting on the stone steps next to the shooting range with his longbow on his back, and he had been looking at it for some time.

"It's so late, are you practicing archery here in the dark?" He asked as he stood up and looked me up and down with curious eyes.

"Back to General Zhao, this is a habit that my subordinates have developed in the past. Shooting arrows when the light is not enough can make them calm down and not only train their eyesight but also their ears." I cupped my hands at the visitor.Before entering Jianzhang camp, I didn't have many opportunities to meet Captain Zhao. He usually stayed in his own camp and only went to Tianliang Palace for important gatherings.

"I'm just curious to see you at this kind of time." Xin Zhao hung his bow and arrow by the side of his horse, and turned his head, "I thought only our children from Huqiying liked to practice horse archery under the starry sky or something like that. .”

I scratched my head: "This subordinate also learned this habit from others."

"Is it Han Yan, the first instructor of Huqiying? A legendary figure, but it's a pity that I haven't had the chance to meet a real person." He shrugged his shoulders to express his regret.

While speaking, the curfew bell rang in the direction of Jianzhang Palace.Xin Zhao frowned slightly: "Let's go quickly, you won't be able to enter the camp gate, I'm afraid you will have to sleep in the shooting range tonight."

Between the barracks, there is a section of dense forest that is rarely visited by people, and several Sima roads are intertwined in it.I followed Xin Zhao and rode south.It was getting late, and the light in the woods was extremely poor. The sparks from the torch in his hand acted as the only light source, illuminating the limited space in front of him.

Suddenly, there was a little bit of starlight in front of him, and there were several low beeps.Xue Qi also seemed to be infected, and began to restless.

"Don't act rashly, it might be a wild beast." Xin Zhao stretched out his horsewhip and stopped me who wanted to go forward to check.

"But what I heard was a human voice."

"Maybe the other party is a group of wild jackals. If you go there rashly, you will only send them home to add food."

In the deep silence, there was the sound of a wooden stick hitting the body.

"No, it's not a beast." I took the rein, bypassed Xin Zhao, and headed straight for the light source.
