The snow-capped mountains are stretching, and the sand, yellow and rocks are chaotic.Along the long city defenses, soldiers patrolled the border, and Yu Bei's flag fluttered in the wind.

Yu Ke was standing on the tall city tower, Chu Tang and Song Shuang were separated on both sides, and several generals and officials followed behind.

The strong wind blows, blowing the sleeves and robes of several people flying.

An official flipped through the notebook and reported earnestly: "My Majesty, since the establishment of a peaceful tribute relationship with Qimeng, the tea and horse trade between the two countries has flourished. in millions...

"The military order to build embankments and plant trees has achieved results, and the income of the people in Weiying has increased, and they are full of praise for this move; the fields cultivated privately by the soldiers before, under the supervision of the national division and the general, have all been collected as official villages, and the food and grass reserves are sufficient up to now. , Enough military use for decades.

"I would like to follow the order of the Holy Majesty, rectify the military system of the barracks, and distribute the armor and equipment sent by the Ministry of Industry for training. Your Majesty is here today, and you can inspect it."

After the official finished his speech one by one, he bent down and handed the notebook to Yu Ke.

Yu Ke waved his hand, and the subordinates around him took it and put it away.He said: "My dear friends guard the border and do their duty faithfully. I have always known about it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."

……

By the time the things to be said were finished, the sky was already slightly dark.

Yu Ke still had something to explain, so he glanced at Chu Tang who was about to resign, and said, "The national teacher is waiting at the bottom of the city, I have something to tell you."

Chu Tang cupped his hands: "I obey."

Others saluted: "National Teacher, go slowly."

Under the city tower, if you go further, you will find a very wide lake.The flat land is open, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the clear sky stretches as far as the eye can see, and there is still a bit of blue in the distance.

It was May, and the seaweed flowers on the lake were blooming petals, and the slender roots were floating in the water. The soft white and yellow flowers were floating with the waves, and the lake water was crystal clear, like a transparent mirror, with a lot of vitality.

After returning to the army and being busy for a few days, seeing this scene, I couldn't help but feel a little bit of leisure in my heart.After walking around the lake for a while, Chu Tang saw a wooden plank road extending to the center of the lake, and stepped on it.

Xu Yi and the other hidden guards of Qianji Pavilion followed from afar.

Before walking a few steps, Chu Tang heard a familiar horse cry from behind, stopped and looked back.

Yu Ke was riding a horse, staring at him not far away, seeing him turning his head, his expression didn't change, as if he was thinking about something, while the two looked at each other, Yu Ke smiled, turned over neatly and got off the horse, handed Ta Xue to the bodyguard, and ordered Said: "Stay here."

"Yes!"

Yu Ke strode up the plank road. When he walked, the plank road in disrepair made creaking sounds, but he was not afraid at all. With a smile on his lips, he walked steadily, as if he only had eyes on the person in front of him.

Chu Tang saw Yu Ke approaching him in a few steps, and said, "Your Majesty is done."

The plank road is not very wide, but when Yu Ke came up, it narrowed a lot in an instant, and he seemed to insist on standing beside Chu Tang side by side. In the next second, it seemed that the person was about to fall.

Yu Ke said: "Of course I came to you when I was done with work. My brother has been waiting for a long time."

"Soon," Chu Tang shook his head, and walked forward slowly, like a stroll in a garden, even with the slight sound of wooden planks, he calmed down, "Waiting here is a pleasant thing. Does Your Majesty like this view?"

Yu Ke walked with him, looked around, and said with a smile: "I like it as much as my brother. I learned a poem when I was a child, 'The mountain springs are full of towers and pavilions, surrounded by peaks and cliffs. The wonderful scenery in the reflection lake, the pearl green lock Haze', which is in line with this scene."

The quiet and quiet environment, away from the hustle and bustle, makes people's hearts peaceful.

Yu Ke and Chu Tang talked about some interesting things in Beijing, about the changes in the capital during the three years he was away, and Chu Tang smiled when he heard it: "It's all because of His Majesty's wisdom and the way to govern the country."

Yu Ke said: "It depends on who taught me."

At the end, the two stopped.Yu Ke lowered his head, glanced at the lake, and said, "I heard that there is a place here in Weiying suitable for watching the sunrise. Brother, if you are free tomorrow morning, can you go and see it with me?"

"There should be." Chu Tang said.

Yu Ke said: "There is work and rest, how can my brother be busier than me, the emperor, doesn't it seem that I am too incompetent."

Chu Tang said, "Your Majesty is joking."

On the way back, Yu Ke suddenly asked him: "Brother, when I came to Weiying, the secret guard told me that you had been away from the army for a long time, where did you go during that time, can you tell me?"

He looked ahead and asked gently, as if Chu Tang would obediently let it go if he didn't tell him.

Chu Tang replied: "I went to visit the homes of the people in Weiying unannounced. Because I noticed that someone was following them, I didn't want to hurt innocent people, so I hid my whereabouts. In fact, they were all in Weiying at that time, so you don't have to worry."

This time, Chu Tang came back to completely solve this task.Before leaving Hyundai, he confessed that he would go on a trip with his friends for a few months, so that they would not have to worry about it, so that he would not have to leave Yu Bei every few days and make the child suspicious.

Yu Ke lowered his eyes and nodded: "Okay."

They said they were free tomorrow morning, but in fact, both of them had important things to do, but they silently made it to tonight early.So, the next day, when the two met, they were a little tired after looking closely.

Yu Ke guessed it right away, frowned and said: "I heard someone say this morning that my brother's tent lights were not turned off last night, or brother should go back and rest. It's not too late to watch the sunrise another day."

It was he who said to get up early to watch the sunrise, and now it is he who said to go back to catch up on sleep.Where did the swift and resolute emperor in front of people go?

"Isn't Your Majesty the same last night?" Chu Tang smiled, "Let's go."

When he came to the hillside, Yu Ke was still muttering: "If I knew it, I wouldn't mention it yesterday."

Floating clouds on Pengshan Mountain, the evening mist is gone, the sun has not yet come out, and the darkness strikes people.Those who followed were paying attention to the safety of their surroundings and did not dare to disturb them.

Yu Ke went up the slope first, turned around and stretched out his hand to pull him, and asked again: "Brother, are you feeling alright?"

"Rong Chen said something presumptuous." Chu Tang held his hand and said as he walked, "Your Majesty is talking more and more."

Yu Ke laughed and scolded: "Brother is presumptuous."

With a little force on his hands, he pulled Chu Tang up.Climbing up the slope in the morning, Chu Tang's snow-white face was a little red, and from Yu Ke's perspective, he could still see his long black eyelashes, like a small fan, and he was panting slightly when he climbed to the top tone.

Yu Ke shook his head.

At that moment, an unbearable thought came up again in my heart.He felt that Chutang was like Tangdi swaying in the snow, obviously tough, but people felt that he needed someone to support him, and made people think that he was dependent on himself-he actually thought this way since he was a child, thinking that Chutang only looked at him. He, only cherish him, only rely on him.

"Thank you." Chu Tang's cold voice recalled his thoughts.

Yu Ke smiled, patted his hand backhand, and teased: "Brother's body is not the same as before."

When I met Chu Tang for the first time, he was only three years old. He was a child with a big fart. He was lonely and unfavored since childhood. When he saw the legendary national teacher, he was shocked. Chu Guoshi would feel that he was like a god, descending from the sky, not only saving Yu Bei from the dire straits, but also coming to his side, leading him to the present day.

When Chu Tang heard this, he turned his head to look at Yu Ke.

The young man looked back at him.He came from a long distance, his face was not red or out of breath, his expression was as usual, his handsome brows were calm and calm, as if everything was under control, when he stared at people, it made people feel as if he was being stared at by wild animals Now, when I took a closer look, the young man was clearly smiling, looking harmless to humans and animals.

Chu Tang didn't think much about it, and said: "The minister is old, so he is naturally not as young and strong as His Majesty."

Yu Ke burst out laughing, and leaned over to put his arms around Chu Tang's shoulders, smiling like before.

The people behind couldn't see it. Their always unsmiling king casually lifted off his robe like a child, and sat down on the ground: "Everyone speaks faithful words, but I still like to hear my brother flatter me the most."

Following his strength, Chu Tang sat down slowly, and even stretched out his hands to straighten his clothes. His movements were well-regulated, as if he was serious about everything he did, and his meticulous temperament was completely different from the people around him.

Yu Ke looked at him with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and a deep starlight in his eyes.

There are also soldiers guarding this slope, with long knives standing upright and red tassels fluttering.

The crowing of chickens raised by some common people came from the bottom of the mountain, faintly.Slowly, a white belly appeared in the eastern sky, illuminating the vast land of Weiying.

The sun is shining brightly at the beginning, and thousands of mountains are like fire.The sun was shining, and the dazzling golden light gushed out, which was extremely magnificent, and all the affairs of the case were left behind.

The soldiers on guard also had smiles on their faces.

Yu Ke was in a good mood, and turned to look at Chu Tang.

Under the early sun, Chu Tang closed his eyes slightly, as if dozing off.That face seemed to have never changed, its radiance was as bright as the snow, and it was as bright as the bright moon.

Yu Ke's eyes moved down.Chu Tang's lip line was extremely soft, and even his coldness seemed to be crushed. When he just looked at his lips, he felt that this person must be gentle and unfeeling.

But in fact, Chu Tang, if you say he is gentle, he is cold, and if you say he is ruthless, he is very easy to soften his heart.

On New Year's Eve three years ago, he impulsively kissed Chu Tang secretly.That should be the beginning of Chu Tang's vigilance.

Yu Ke lowered his eyes, and his smile became stern.

That night he told Chu Tang that he had done something wrong impulsively, and asked Chu Tang to forgive him.Indeed, he was impulsive and did something wrong.

——If he went back to three years ago, he would no longer be so reckless, giving Chu Tang a chance to leave him.

Looking at the sun in the distance, Yu Ke reached out and hugged Chu Tang's shoulder.

Chu Tang moved and opened his eyes: "Has the sun risen yet?"

Yu Ke withdrew his hand, his voice was the same: "Brother is tired?"

Chu Tang rubbed his eyes: "Sure enough, I'm old, and I don't know if I'm asleep."

Yu Ke smiled lightly.

After waking up, Chu Tang's soft confusion disappeared in an instant, and he returned to his usual calmness: "What is Your Majesty thinking?"

"The rivers and mountains are beautiful," Yu Ke tilted his head to look at him, showing a vigorous smile, "Suddenly remembered what the predecessors said, 'Above and above, please look at it, my rivers and mountains are beautiful and picturesque. , Who else can praise me', it is said with momentum."

"It's His Majesty's country," Chu Tang smiled slightly, "Naturally it's great."

The two talked for a while, and then stood up when the sun rose.Seen from the back, the two climbed high and looked far away, standing side by side, very calm.

When we went back, it was still very early, and the two had business to do, so they separated.

See you in the evening, Yu Ke just came in from the gate of the barracks, wearing a black cloak, tall.

Chu Tang was talking to Song Shuangcheng, when he saw him, he stepped forward: "See Your Majesty."

Yu Ke didn't know where he went. He was travel-laden, and when he saw Chu Tang, his eyes lit up: "The national teacher and general are also there."

"Just finished patrolling the training ground, where did your Majesty go?" Song Shuangcheng asked, cupping his hands.

Yu Ke waved his hand to make the others retreat: "I went to the previous palace of Seventh Emperor Uncle."

Chu Tang nodded, and was about to speak, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of something moving in Yu Ke's arms, and then a small fiery red head emerged from the middle of his cloak.

Yu Ke held it down with one hand to keep it from moving, and said with a smile, "I saved a little pet on the way back, brother, take care of it for me."

As he spoke, he picked up the fur from the little fox's neck and threw it to Chu Tang.

The fox seemed quite small, screaming "Zhi Zhi" and being thrown into Chu Tang's arms, his limbs were still moving.

The little thing's fur was slick and slippery, Chu Tang almost slipped his hand and missed it, feeling a little helpless: "Your Majesty, I don't know how to raise it. Why don't you give it to General Song."

Song Shuangcheng laughed and said: "Even if the national teacher can't support me, I, a big-bodied and three-faced person, can't support me even more. The national teacher will take the gift from your majesty to the national teacher."

The little fox fell into a warm embrace, first hid its head in Chu Tang's arms, then saw that nothing happened, raised its head, and looked at the man with rolling eyes.

Yu Ke got off the horse, reached out and rubbed the fox's head: "Just show it to the servants, and my brother will be responsible for taking it for a walk."

A fox is not a dog, so why take it for a walk?Chu Tang didn't have this experience, and he was afraid that he would spoil a life, and what's more, if the emperor sent him something dead, something might happen.

Yu Ke seemed very persistent: "My brother has even raised me, how can he raise a little thing?"

Chu Tang lowered his head, the little fox had pointed ears, one paw was wrapped with a white cloth, and its tail was fluffy, sweeping back and forth, touching Chu Tang's chin from time to time, seeing him looking over, the fox was not afraid of people, shaking He closed his ears and tentatively "squeaked".

"Okay," Chu Tang nodded and said, "Your Majesty can take care of you."

----

The next day, when Chu Tang was leaving the house at dawn, Yu Ke suddenly came to his tent.

"His Majesty?"

Yu Ke cut to the chase and said, "Do you want to find someone? I will accompany the national teacher."

Going to that destination requires passing through a desert.Yu Ke remembered the scene when he met Chu Tang in Weiying on the first day, and his blood rushed to his head. Thinking about it, he was afraid, how could he rest assured that Chu Tang went alone again.

Chu Tang: "Xu Yi and the others are following this time, don't worry, Your Majesty."

"I don't worry about it." Yu Ke said decisively, "If you don't let me follow the national teacher, then don't go."

"Why are you making trouble so unreasonably, Your Majesty?" Chu Tang said in a dull tone.

Yu Ke refused to give an inch, and stood in front of him: "Why don't you allow me to follow? Is the national teacher going there to have a tryst with someone?"

"I'm just worried about His Majesty's safety."

"Someone is following, National Teacher, don't worry."

Chu Tang: "..."

At this moment, a fluffy head poked out from behind Chu Tang's door curtain, and squeaked, as if asking what they were doing.

The two turned back.

The person who took care of it hurriedly picked him up, knelt down and said: "See Your Majesty, see the National Teacher, it's the slave who didn't take care of it, I beg Your Majesty and the National Teacher to forgive me."

Chu Tang's expression did not change, and his words were cold: "It's nothing, let's go down." Turning his head, he looked at Yu Ke's stubborn face, like the fox he picked up, who was used to being clingy and obedient, Chu Tang's eyes flashed, Obviously softened: "Your Majesty can go if you want."

Yu Ke smiled and held his hand: "Then let's go together."

There are thousands of miles of yellow sand, and the wind is full of rocks.

To avoid ostentation, neither of them took the carriage.Huoyun and Taxue walked slowly with one foot deep and the other shallow, and from time to time, Taxue would rub against Huoyun.

Yu Ke didn't care, and let him get off the horse to act like a baby, and when he talked to Chu Tang, he was always smiling.

Suddenly, the bodyguard who was walking in front stopped and told the two of them, "There are people ahead."

Yu Ke and Chu Tang also noticed it.

In front of a pile of big rocks, several people were being surrounded by a group of masked men in black, wearing Weiying's ordinary clothes, but who looked like Qi Meng.

Yu Ke glanced at those men in black, and narrowed his eyes: "Brother, someone has thrown himself into a trap."

He waved his hand, and the guard understood, and immediately stepped forward to join the melee.

Outnumbered and outnumbered, those Chemons quickly lost ground, and the man in the middle seemed to be injured and exhausted within the protection range.

Just when the man in black thought he could take the enemy's head, a few people suddenly appeared out of nowhere, with sharp swordsmanship, and a few moves forced them to retreat in succession.

"Who are you? Don't meddle in your own business!" the man in black cursed.

Qianling Guard didn't say a word, and the sword in his hand was invisible. The next moment, another man in black fell on the ground.

The Chemon man watched the situation turn around in an instant, and was extremely surprised. Seeing them approaching, the Chemon man protected the unconscious person in the middle, took a step back, and said nervously: "You... you saved the master, my master will definitely repay you !"

The leading man in white clothed his face with a white silk mask, glanced at them indifferently, and frowned slightly with his extremely beautiful brows, which immediately made their hearts flutter and become more nervous.

Another young man in black has handsome features, smiling eyes, and a tall and straight figure, giving people an invisible coercion, and he looks like no ordinary person.

Chu Tang vaguely felt familiar: "Have we met him?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Chu Tang felt that something was wrong.

The next moment, a familiar mechanical voice came:

[Ding——Trigger the hidden task of "cover my little vest".The host rescued His Majesty wisely and decisively when they met for the first time, but it is the virtue of a generation of emperors not to repay favors.I hope the host carefully hides his vest, hides his achievements and fame, and at the same time avoids revealing his going out to Mingyue Temple, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings. 】

The guards found some things from the men in black. Yu Ke had just finished reading, turned his gaze away, looked at Chu Tang, and said, "Who?"

Following Chu Tang's line of sight, he saw the tall and strange man.

"Ah," Yu Ke said softly, with killing intent in his heart, as the long memories flooded into his heart, "I know him."
