Manchu civil and military bow down

Xu He looked up in a daze, not very convinced.

"Do you believe in love at first sight?" What kind of love at first sight, he didn't see any woman beside Xue Chengyu.No, suddenly a figure flashed in Xu He's mind. When he went to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the maid in blue stood quietly behind Xue Chengyu.

He also asked about his identity that day, but Xue Chengyu avoided talking about it.

It makes sense when you think about it that way.

"That woman in the blue dress is the object of your love at first sight?"

As Xu He spoke, he recalled the person's appearance. His facial features were deeper than those of ordinary women, his appearance was delicate, and his figure was tall and straight. Other than that, he couldn't find any special features.But to be able to fall in love with Xue Chengyu at first sight, there must be something special. After thinking about it for a while, Xu He said: "She should have a very good personality."

Following Xu He's words, Xue Chengyu knew who he was talking about, smiled and said, "It's not her."

Xu He: "That's weird, I didn't see any other women around you."

Xue Chengyu looked at him naturally, then turned his head away, and said in a cold tone, "Why must it be a woman?"

Xu He: "???"

Xu He looked horrified: "Fuck!"

He was so shocked that swear words came out of his mouth for a while, Xue Chengyu frowned and wanted to scold him.But the rain along the mountain wet the soil, Xu He didn't pay attention, slipped, fell forward, he hurriedly grabbed Xue Chengyu's clothes.

Xue Chengyu didn't bother to talk about the training this time, and reached out to wrap his arms around his waist to stabilize his figure.

A paper umbrella separates the green rain.

It rustled outside.

The world was quiet, only Xue Chengyu's helpless voice sounded: "You talk, remember to watch the road."

Xu He stood in Xue Chengyu's arms, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. He suppressed the "I'm scared to death" in his mouth, looked up, and his eyes were full of disbelief: "Brother Xue? You fell in love with a man?" of?"

Xue Chengyu thought his expression was very cute, and even thought a little viciously, what kind of expression would Xu He show if he knew that he was the one he liked.

But that thought dissipated quickly.

Because he is very calm and clearly understands that this layer of feelings has been punctured, but he must be the first to go crazy.

Xue Chengyu lowered his eyes and said, "Isn't it possible?"

Xu He didn't know what to say now.Xue Chengyu didn't look like he was lying.

Emotionally, he felt that he should persuade Xue Chengyu to be so bad, and liking a man would bring him a lot of harm.

But reason told him that this was Xue Chengyu's own business, and feelings should not be mixed with right and wrong and interests.

After scratching his head irritably, Xu He quietly put down his hands and asked seriously, "Does that person like you?"

Xue Chengyu said, "I never asked."

Xu He really thought about it, but he didn't expect that one day he would worry about Xue Chengyu's relationship.

It would be great if Xue Chengyu liked a woman, but he likes a man. If that person is a straight man, no matter how good Xue Chengyu is or how affectionate he is, it will be useless.

For some reason, Xu He always felt that this matter was very mysterious and false, and Xue Chengyu's relationship would most likely end without a problem.

He racked his brains for words to comfort Xue Chengyu, but was finally stopped by the system.

System: "Host, I advise you not to say anything."

Xu He was confused: "Why?"

System: "Just believe me, you will be punished for saying those words."

Xu He: "Oh dear."

It's not that Xu He believed the system's words, he just realized later that his good friend was still in the stage of crushing love, and he comforted him as a broken love, which was a bit unkind.

What if the person Xue Chengyu likes is not a straight man?

Didn't he beat mandarin ducks with a stick?

Choking back the words, Xu He then lowered his head, looked at Lu in a daze, and wondered who that person would be.

The one closest to Xue Chengyu is himself, but it must not be, since we get along day and night, we can't find any point of ambiguity.

And wouldn't it be special to like someone? Why didn't he notice it after being so close for so many years.

Xu He ruled himself out subconsciously, never thinking that it might be Xue Chengyu's restraint and his slowness.

Then, Xu He thought of a group of academicians from the Imperial Academy, a group of gentle scholars, who were about the same age as Xue Chengyu, who had worked together in the same room for a long time, and it was very possible to have a romantic relationship.

Xu He was really heartbroken.

Brother Xue, what are you doing? His sexual orientation has been hidden for 20 years.

Will Prime Minister Xue agree?

Will the emperor agree?

Compared with Xu He's wild thoughts, Xue Chengyu was very leisurely. He turned his umbrella to Xu He's side, and the slanting wind and drizzle wet his long hair.

Looking at Xu He's frowning eyebrows, his face was bright and compelling in the white mist of the green hills.

He wants to kiss him.

Just put his emotions into a smile, restraining his blood, he said, "Still guessing who that person is?"

Xu He: "Yes."

Xue Chengyu said: "Actually, you know each other."

Xu He said: "I don't have a very good memory, but to be liked by you must be very powerful. I may have a little impression of an outstanding person. Does he have any characteristics?"

Xue Chengyu said, "It's stupid."

Xu He: "Huh?"

"My first impression of him was that he was stupid."

Xu He twitched the corner of his mouth: "Then why did you fall in love at first sight?"

Xue Chengyu said: "Love at first sight does not contradict this."

Xu He choked: "Okay, you continue."

He doesn't believe that the person Xue Chengyu likes is nothing but stupid.

Xue Chengyu chuckled, "Very kind, quite similar to you, can get into a lot of trouble."

like me?Xu He smiled, "Then he's pretty good."

Xue Chengyu said slowly again: "But I don't think it's necessary. He spends too much time on irrelevant people, and I don't like it."

Xu He thought about it for a while, and was immediately overjoyed. He complained, "No, brother Xue, you can eat this kind of vinegar too, it's too small."

Xue Chengyu gave him a cold look, and continued: "He is very smart, but maybe he doesn't feel it himself, just like he is beautiful, but he himself doesn't notice it."

Xu He thought, it really wasn't him, and now he was completely relieved, he always felt that he was unparalleled in intelligence and impeccable in handsomeness, he let out a sigh of relief.

Xu He said: "Then this little brother is really a very slow person."

Xue Chengyu took a deep look at him and said, "Yes, very dull."

The mountain road was extremely muddy. After walking for a while, Xu He felt, oh, that's not right. "You say people are stupid, and you say people are smart. Isn't this contradictory?"

Xue Chengyu replied: "Two aspects."

Xu He: "Oh."

The system listened to the conversation between the two people, and was very speechless: "The host..."

Xu He was thinking about the people he had met, checked each one, and replied to him: "What's wrong with you."

The system felt that it needed a piece of code to make itself speechless temporarily, otherwise, it really wanted to tell him the truth.Reason told it not to do it, to restrain it, so it said weakly: "It's nothing, just keep chatting and be happy."

Xu He said: "I'm so happy, my brother fell in love with a man, and I have to find that man to help find out."

The system is anxious, bitter and painful, but it can't say it, it chooses to be autistic: "...well, just be happy."

Xu He was startled, he said he was happy for any disease!The system can't understand people's words.

In the end, Xu He still didn't find out who it was, so he asked Xue Chengyu, "You said he was good-looking, what exactly is it?"

Already at the bottom of the mountain, the rain has become lighter.

Xue Chengyu closed his umbrella with a graceful gesture.After the new rain in Kongshan, facing Xu He's question, he seemed to be in a daze for a while, then quickly turned his head and smiled, the alienation and indifference in his eyes disappeared, showing tenderness.He had an outstanding temperament and a handsome face, Xu He was slightly taken aback by such a glance.Like the spring breeze blowing away the frozen ground, the emotions stopped abruptly at the moment of breaking the ground.

Xue Chengyu said: "Unparalleled under heaven."

Xu He: "???"

Maybe beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Xue Chengyu smiled slowly again: "Meeting him gave me a new understanding of human life."

Xu He was surprised, "For example?"

Xue Chengyu smiled: "There is no example."

Xu He was stunned, and suddenly felt a little awkward.Xue Chengyu has someone he likes, but he only found out now.There is an extra secret in the intimate relationship, and the unique person in his mouth.

It's just such a person, how could he not have an impression.

Xu He asked the system, but the system faltered and refused to speak. After several inquiries to no avail, he lost his mind.

These days in Xuanzhou, I was busy when I said I was busy, and I was idle when I said I was idle.Except for the first survey of terrain and water level, he never went to the river again.The method of flood control and the rest of the Ministry of Industry had a direction. He looked at it and felt that there was no problem, so he relaxed.

Take this trip to Xuanzhou as a tourist.

On weekdays, I just tease the parrots, wander the streets, and watch the excitement.

In a few days, the prince also arrived.

The prince only stayed in Xuanzhou for a few days before going to the next place.The prince's appearance is seven parts like a queen, and three parts like Emperor Hui'an, with a gentle and approachable personality.Xu He hadn't been to the East Palace a few times when he was young, so he didn't know him well, so he just greeted him respectfully and politely a few times.

And on the first day the prince arrived in Xuanzhou, something happened that was enough to become a good story.

Anyway, Xu He couldn't help but laugh at it.

It's the Spring Festival in Xuanzhou at the right time, and men and women are full of brocade clothes and bustling in the streets.To welcome the Spring Festival, Xuanzhou has a custom of giving flowers and hairpins. A man shows his favor to a woman and gives flowers. If the woman wants to, put the hairpin in her hair.

When the crown prince was walking through Chaoxian Street, the weather was supposed to be good, but for no reason, a strong wind blew up, blowing the willows and the dress of the woman in the pavilion. fell down.

It landed on the prince's hair impartially. The pure white flowers carried a quiet fragrance. The prince was slightly stunned, took the flower down, turned his head, and met the eyes of the annoyed girl who hurried downstairs to pick it up.

The prince didn't understand the customs, he only thought it was returning the property to its original owner, and gave the flower to the girl while talking and laughing.

And the Xuanzhou officials behind him were all dumbfounded.The onlookers, not knowing his identity, began to make fun of him.

And the girl was stunned, seeing the prince's majesty, young and handsome, with a blush on his face, took the flower and turned around shyly.

When she lifted her skirt and went upstairs, her pace slowed down, and she inserted flowers into her hair under the eyes of everyone.In an instant, another group of people applauded He Xi.

The prince has a good temper, he was at a loss, tilted his head and asked softly what was going on.A Xuanzhou official wiped his sweat and explained the reason to him tremblingly.His Royal Highness's expression froze for a moment, and then he was embarrassed and funny again.He raised his head, and smiled softly into the eyes of the young girl who was quietly hiding behind the curtain and peeking down.

Xu He couldn't hold back, and almost laughed out loud. He hid behind Xue Chengyu to prevent the prince from finding out, and suppressed his laughter.

Xue Chengyu: "What are you laughing at?"

Xu He said: "Does this count as a romantic relationship? Hahahaha I thought that not long ago, when I first returned to Beijing, someone had such a romantic relationship in front of Mingyue Tower. However, the prince is really interested in this girl. I really can't avoid that person."

Xue Chengyu hummed casually.

In fact, avoiding it is also correct.

Xu He glanced at it, and found that the strong wind just brought a lot of flowers, and there was one under his feet.Very small, probably dropped from the treetops.Yellow with white edges, small and cute.Xu He picked it up and found that there were still thin stalks on the flower. He became interested for a while and gave it to Xue Chengyu: "I will also give you a piece of Pocahontas."

Xue Chengyu's eyes fell on his hands indifferently, and he lowered his eyes and said, "Are you serious?"

How serious is this?

Xu He only took it as a joke, and said, "Yes, do as the Romans do—should you put flower hairpins on your hair, so that we can be regarded as a good story."

Xue Chengyu took a deep look at him, letting him act nonsense, and said calmly, "Okay, you are my hairpin."

Xu He said: "You are such a troublesome girl. I gave you flowers and asked me to make hairpins for you."

Xue Chengyu smiled.

In order to cooperate with Xu He, he lowered his head slightly.

Xu He also didn't expect Xue Chengyu to cooperate so much, so he smiled a little embarrassedly, but he decided to continue this joke because it was all up to this point.

The spring is warm, and Xue Chengyu's hair is as cold as water, gliding past Xu He's fingertips along the east wind.

The jade crown was flowing and shiny, and the breath he leaned over was like a handful of snow.

The little flower is in the hair, it is not easy to see clearly.

He withdrew his hand, but Xue Chengyu grabbed his wrist.

Xu He raised his head in doubt,

But Xue Chengyu said calmly: "Do you like me?"

Xu He was stunned for a moment, then laughed. He didn't expect Brother Xue to have so many scenes. After coughing, he ran to the train with his mouth full: "Yes, I have liked the girl for a long time. Although Xiaosheng is not talented, he also knows a thing or two. He is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and can barely recite the Four Books and Five Classics. He is now an official of the fifth grade, with one brother and one sister in his family. There are countless houses, many servants, and a lot of money. Although he is not as good-looking as Pan An, but It's no problem to be the most handsome in Changle. Like Xiaosheng, do you marry a girl?"

He spoke very quietly, afraid of being overheard.

After all, you have to face.

Xue Chengyu was still holding his hand. After hearing this, he bowed his head and whispered in his ear: "Marry. How can you not marry. Marry with the gift of the country."

Xu He leaned forward and backward with a smile.

After a long time, Xue Chengyu said softly, "After all, I like you too."

This sentence was overshadowed by the uproar ahead.

Xu He didn't hear it.

When they were playing around here, the prince had already found out the identity of the girl from top to bottom.Before leaving, he made a special visit to express his heart.The girl was stunned for a long time before she realized that the person in front of her was the current prince.A fisherman's girl just became the side concubine of the prince in such a muddled way, a concubine with extraordinary wealth in the future.

As soon as this news came out, the girls in Xuanzhou were all dumbfounded, and then it was as if they had been beaten.

Since then, the Spring Festival has become more lively.

In the next few days, it started to rain again and again.Every night, there is a heavy sound of raindrops hitting the eaves and plantains.This year's rain, Xu He didn't like it very much, since the first spring rain began after the queen passed away.

Afterwards, it rained, and the sky and the earth were in turbid darkness, without light.

The rain was coming hard.

Xu He thought of the first rainstorm he encountered in Jinzhou.

He got up in the middle of the night and drew the terrain he saw that day on the paper. On both sides of the river, there were mountains, and the mountains became valleys, and people lived in the valleys.Xu He put down his pen and looked out the window through the rain curtain.

On the second day, when the rain stopped for a while, he put on a bamboo hat and coir raincoat, asked Xue Chengyu for a team, and went to the field.Xu He stayed behind and persuaded the villagers to move. He planned to go to the mountain alone, but a thin boy with big eyes offered to accompany him.Xu He was not familiar with this place, so he agreed.

The mountain road was difficult to walk, the boy kept turning his head to look at him openly, and asked bluntly, "My lord, are you from the capital?"

Xu He smiled and said, "Yeah." He cared about the sand, squatted on the ground, and touched it.

The boy also squatted down and said, "You are beautiful, even more beautiful than the Cuihua in our village. You are still a man, so are all the girls in the capital so beautiful?"

Xu He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and took a wooden stick to poke the soil and knocked him on the head: "Why do you think so far at such a young age?"

The boy looked serious: "I will go to the capital to find a daughter-in-law in the future."

Xu He smiled when he heard the words: "Then you go for it."

Afterwards, the boy started talking like a chatterbox, walking on the mountain, telling him all kinds of interesting things, such as catching birds, snakes, weasels, a tree with a strange shape on the mountain, or an inexplicable hole.

Xu He listened casually, but his mind was not on that.

He pays attention.

There is no white water flow or other obvious features on the hillside, but the soil is very loose and there is very little vegetation. It has been raining continuously for several days, and the possibility of mudslides is still high. There are many dead branches floating around.

- People who live under the hillside must move out.

After going down the mountain, the boy was picked up by his parents.

The villagers actually didn't believe Xu He's words, and didn't think it would be dangerous to live there, but the people Xu He brought here were all chosen by Xue Chengyu himself. Their "persuasion" can be said to be a notice, and they are not allowed to resist.

It's getting late now, every family is cooking, and the villagers are crying and clamoring to move tomorrow.

Xu He stayed in the village to arrange things early tomorrow morning.

In the middle of the night, he heard a knock on the door. The bed was damp and cold. He was very light sleepy and woke up immediately.

Pushing open the door is the smell of heavy rain and the smell of soil.

The two people outside the door were the parents of the boy during the day. They knelt directly in front of him and cried loudly: "My lord! Save my tiger!"

The rain was so loud that Xu He had to bow his head to hear it clearly.

It took me a long time to understand.

During the day, the boy dropped something on the mountain, and his mother didn't think it was important for him to pick it up, but the boy was reluctant, so he ran out again at night while his parents were asleep.It wasn't raining that hard when he ran out, but now it was raining heavily, and the boy hadn't returned, his parents were so anxious that they wanted to ask him to come here.

"Don't worry, just go in and sit down. I'll go find him."

Xu He used to sleep with his clothes on, but now he went out wearing a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat. The rain was really heavy, and it was cold and painful when it hit his body.The guard held an umbrella for him, but Xu He refused.

In front of the mountain, Xu He raised his head, seeing the heavy rain, he didn't know if something would happen tonight.

"It's enough to keep two people. The rest go back and force the villagers to leave and tell them not to bring anything."

The young man under the coir raincoat was pale, but his expression was stern.

"Yes."

The guard takes command.

In the end, there were three people left. Xu He tilted his head and was about to order, but seeing that person looked familiar, he was stunned for a moment and then said, "Eh? It's you."

The guard smiled: "My lord, we meet again."

Xu He was a little embarrassed, this person was the bodyguard who accompanied him to Jinzhou, and he didn't recognize him all day.

But now is not the time to reminisce about the old days. He has no martial arts, so it is definitely dangerous to go up rashly, so he pointed to the hillside and said to the guards: "You should follow this road, and you should be able to find that boy. If there is a landslide suddenly in the middle of the journey, hurry up Do you understand running up the mountain, don’t run down the mountain, follow the direction perpendicular to the landslide.”

The guard said: "Yes."

Xu He waited for a while, the rain was getting heavier, but the guard still didn't come back.

He asked the system, "What is the probability of a landslide or mudslide here?"

The system said sadly: "Sorry host, I can't figure it out."

Xu He said, "It's okay."

The heavy rain was pouring, Xu He thought very calmly, he thought of Jinzhou, and the woman who was holding a dead baby and made him have nightmares.The same dark rainy night, the same pouring rain.

After a long time, the guard came back and said, "This subordinate is incompetent. I searched most of the hills but couldn't find the boy."

Xu He said, "It's okay, I know where he is."

Xu He asked the system: "I remember what you said, it will keep me and the people around me safe, so I won't die, right?"

The system wants to say that this is not the host's reason for you to die, but it understands that a human life has different value in the eyes of it and the host, so it said weakly: "Yes."

Xu He's lips curled up: "That's good."

He tilted his head and said: "He should be hiding in the cave, you just stay here, don't let anyone go up the mountain, don't worry about me."

The guard hesitated to speak, knowing that Xu He had an uncompromising character in his bones, and he would not take back the orders he gave.

Under such a heavy rain, the boy did not dare to go down the mountain easily. The guards searched around the top of the mountain but couldn't find it, so he could only be hiding in the cave he pointed out during the day.

The mountain road under the heavy rain was very difficult to walk, and there were no stone ladders. Xu He climbed up by holding on to the trees, but fell several times during the process, and was covered in mud all over his body.

As expected, he found the boy in the cave halfway up the mountain. The boy was curled up in a ball. He was cold and had a fever at the same time. He felt in a daze that someone had walked in and he was being picked up. He grabbed Xu He's lapel: " grown ups?"

Xu He nodded, wanting to beat him up, but didn't do it: "This cave is not safe, the soil above it is too thin, if something happens, you will be buried here."

The boy, delirious with fever, nodded and said nothing.

Xu He came out of the cave and walked up the mountain. Halfway through the journey, he heard a sound like thunder. It didn't come from the sky, but just under his feet.
