West Wind Crimson

Unexpectedly, he tossed and turned in bed and couldn't fall asleep. He missed the soft pillow of the high bed in the phantom sky, and he didn't know his father...

Thinking of this, Ying Kong Shi frowned.

Xiao Sheng has adapted well here, but his father...he sneaked out and didn't know how his father would react when he found out, surprised?anger?Do not believe?Wait, but not sending someone to catch him back is an acquiescence to his willfulness. I really don't know why he was prevented from coming here like that in the first place.

With so many thoughts, Ying Kongshi couldn't fall asleep anymore, so he simply got up, put on a coat and left the tent.

Go out for a walk, maybe you are tired and want to sleep.

But with this walk, they came to the logistics department of the soldiers - the kitchen.

He wasn't hungry, but the lights were still abnormally on at such a late hour, he thought it was a bit weird and wanted to come over to find out.

"Small……"

Ying Kongshi raised his eyebrows, he must have seen the "fake" Yu Sheng.

At this moment, Yu Sheng was rolling his sleeves, wearing a white apron around his waist, and kneading a piece of dough in his hands.

Yu Sheng rubbed vigorously, completely oblivious to Ying Kongshi standing behind him.

"..."

What is he... doing?

Ying Kongshi was puzzled, but seeing Yu Sheng getting up to get a small bowl of flour, Ying Kongshi handed it over swiftly.

"Thank you."

Without paying any attention, taking it completely naturally, Yu Sheng sprinkled some flour, the circuit in his brain was cut off, and he turned around at once.

"You are--"

Looking at Ying Kongshi in surprise, Yu Sheng immediately hid the dough in his hand behind his back.

"I've seen everything I hide."

Ying Kongshi walked up to Yu Sheng with a smile, and waved his flour-coated hand.

"Uh, uh, no... no..."

Yu Sheng's hands trembled in embarrassment, his appearance was really... so embarrassing!

"Nothing? What are you doing here in the middle of the night without sleeping to knead the dough? Or...the practice during the day wasn't hard enough?"

It's rare for Ying Kongshi to see Yu Sheng who is so at a loss, so he couldn't help but tease him for a while.

"……fine……"

"What are you doing? Do you want me to help you?"

Looking at Yu Sheng's outfit, Ying Kongshi felt the novelty and subconsciously felt that Yu Sheng needed help, so he rolled up his sleeves to help Yu Sheng.

"Make... make cookies..."

"Make biscuits?"

Ying Kongshi was surprised, why hasn't he seen Yu Sheng do it in the past 100 years?

Of course, Ying Kongshi didn't know that the devil's culinary skills were superb, and the biscuits he made were unmatched by anyone. Even if Yu Sheng hadn't done it for more than 100 years, the heat would still be the same.

"Um……"

"Since when did you become so powerful?"

Following Yu Sheng's posture, Ying Kongshi went to knead another piece of dough.

"No...uh..."

Yu Sheng originally wanted to refuse, but when he saw Ying Kongshi's courteous look, his voice of rejection became smaller and smaller.

He was short of manpower, if Ying Kong Shi didn't come to help, he didn't know when it would be.

"Don't push too hard."

Guiding Ying Kongshi from the side, Yu Sheng's hand also started to move.

Although he didn't know why Ying Kongshi didn't sleep so late, but he took the initiative to come to him, he didn't want to shirk.

"What do you do with biscuits?"

Ying Kong asked.

Yu Sheng stopped kneading his face for a moment, and bit his lips lightly.

"……For you to eat……"

Ying Kongshi's hand also paused for a moment, but then started to move.

"..."

"Recently...you're not in good spirits...so..."

Yu Sheng stuttered a little, he was reserved, and it was his habitual principle to say as little as he could, so if he were to be so straightforward now, it would somewhat embarrass him.

"..."

Ying Kongshi continued to remain silent, but the movement of kneading the dough gradually slowed down.

Yu Sheng suddenly became nervous, he didn't know whether he was wrong or not.

"Eating might be bad in the military...so I thought...uh..."

Expressing his concern clumsily, Yu Sheng simply stopped kneading the dough.

"...um...thank you..."

Ying Kongshi was thoughtful, he always felt that Yu Sheng wanted to express something in his words.

"..."

Yu Sheng watched Ying Kongshi continue kneading the dough, but the water sleeves were a little in the way, and ran down disobediently after the roll was just finished, rubbing the flour non-stop, causing Ying Kongshi to unroll again and again.

The eccentric Yu Sheng walked up behind Ying Kongshi, and slowly bent down.

"Do not worry."

Following the advantage of height, Yu Sheng opened his arms and wrapped Ying Kongshi in his arms, rolled up Ying Kongshi's sleeves with both hands at the same time, patiently and meticulously.

"like this……"

Ying Kongshi stood motionless at the same spot, blinking his eyelashes uncomfortably.

He blushed.

"That's good, I'm helping you organize that one."

As Yu Sheng said, he went to help Ying Kongshi roll up the other sleeve, his cool fingertips touched Ying Kongshi's arm intentionally or unintentionally, and Ying Kongshi suddenly felt his body burn.

It's not uncommon for him and Yu Sheng to get close like this before, but something is wrong tonight.

This reminded him of the night he and Yu Sheng were on the boat.

"Um……"

Smelling the pine fragrance on Yu Sheng's body, Ying Kongshi continued to blush and his heart beat faster, but this feeling was completely different from when he saw his father when he was "young".

Just like women who are married or not will blush when they see a handsome man, his Ying Kongshi also belongs to that kind.

Nervous, unnatural but not heart-stirring.

"...Are you thinking about Yuan Ji..."

Yu Sheng discovered Ying Kongshi's abnormality, the tip of the ear wrapped in the ear was so red that it was bleeding, this made him feel impulsive again.

Unconsciously, he blew cool air on that ear, Yu Sheng wanted to cool down the hot ear, but it made Ying Kongshi's sensitivity tremble.

"...Bad, almost..."

Withdrawing his hand directly, Ying Kongshi walked aside to get the flour, leaving Yu Sheng's embrace.

"'flower'……"

Of course Yu Sheng doesn't feel good without that burst of warmth in his arms, he straightened up and was going to pull Ying Kong Shi.

"I--"

"What else do you need?"

Ying Kongshi took two or three steps to hide away, and hurriedly bumped into the pots and bowls in the kitchen, which caused a jingle.

"...No, no need."

Feeling overwhelmed by Ying Kongshi's reaction, Yu Sheng declined.

He felt that Ying Kong Shi didn't want to stay here anymore.

"...Then you are busy, 'Hua'...I'll go first."

Before Yu Sheng could say anything else, Ying Kongshi pulled away and left, leaving Yu Sheng alone in the kitchen, staring blankly.

he's gone.

Yu Sheng slowly clenched his fists, and the original frost returned to his face.

I must have scared him again.

This is quite different from the "take your time" he thought.

He didn't expect his actions tonight would make Ying Kongshi somewhat resistant.

Could it be that his performance is still too direct?

Thoughts raced through Yu Sheng's mind, the cold figure was reflected on the kitchen wall, still so lonely, still so arrogant.

The patrolling veterans who had been stationed on the border for many years happened to pass by here, and stopped in their tracks with a "huh".

He wiped his eyes in disbelief, looked carefully, and wiped his eyes again.

Why, in his eyes, even though Yu Sheng was dressed a little funny, the more he looked at him, the more he looked like that big devil, Wei Qing?

☆, (35) tongue war

(35) tongue war

It was another sleepless night, and Yu Sheng was also suffering from insomnia.

The next morning, the two people who saw each other had thick dark circles under their eyes.

"morning……"

Passing by, Ying Kongshi intentionally or unintentionally distanced himself from Yu Sheng.

"'flower'……"

But Yu Sheng grabbed Ying Kong Shi at the moment they parted ways, and handed over the fruit of his one night's labor.

"...Thank you, thank you."

Accepting it indiscriminately, Ying Kongshi moved his hand, signaling Yu Sheng to let go.

"...Yesterday I wasn't..."

Yu Sheng wanted to explain, but when the words came to his lips, he forgot what he had thought up last night.

"Not what?"

"I'm actually..."

Yu Sheng's tongue is tied, he's not good at lying, he's still a bit rigid, he can be what he is, and with sensitive things like feelings, once he tells lies, he feels sorry for his own conscience.

"Actually……"

Yes or no, he didn't know how to express it.

"The soldiers are all ready to drill, don't be idle here."

Shaking off Yu Sheng's hand, Ying Kongshi went to lead his war horse on his own.

Yu Sheng clenched his fists, as smart as Ying Kong Shi, Ying Kong Shi must have noticed the strangeness of his behavior last night, and only treated him like this this morning.

It seems to be rejected.

Feeling something bad, Yu Sheng also led the horse and followed Ying Kong Shi.

Walking among the military tents, Ying Kongshi keenly noticed something was wrong.

Those veterans who had been stationed at the border for many years looked at Yu Sheng with fear in awe.

Even, there are doubts.

It is understandable to be in awe of Ying Kongshi. A family of princes is aloof and has such an extraordinary demeanor. Awe is indispensable, but how to explain this fear and suspicion?

The young recruits didn't have this kind of emotion yet, but it was these veterans who were used to fighting on the battlefield and had a significant impact on morale, and they turned to him and Yu Sheng one by one, avoiding them.

Carefully paying attention to the content of their conversation, Ying Kongshi caught the words that he never wanted to hear again in this life.

"It seems, Weiqing."

Ying Kongshi stopped in his tracks at that moment.

Yu Sheng barely stopped behind Ying Kong Shi.

"If you guys keep chewing your tongues, be careful that the Lord will find out, and pull out your tongues at once!"

Obviously protecting the calf, even though he deliberately alienated Yu Sheng, Ying Kongshi still chose to help his relatives after hearing such remarks that threatened him.

The veterans saw that it was a young guard, and Yu Sheng was following behind them, so they didn't dare to speak for a while.

"Does it look like one, Prince Shi will know if he tries it?"

A loud voice sounded, and everyone looked up in amazement at the speaker.

"Qinglong?"

Qinglong saluted Ying Kongshi slightly, and then smiled sarcastically at Yu Sheng.

Since he failed to compete with Qingren for the position of the guardian of the East, he volunteered to come to this border on his own. Before Ka Suo came up to Shemi, he had fought dozens of times with the demons for this border. Although he had only seen her face once, it was enough for him to remember it firmly.

Even if his appearance has changed slightly, even if he doesn't wear a mask.

That body was cold, but there were no two of them.

So from the moment Yu Sheng entered the border, although Qinglong has been silent, he has always been very hostile to Yu Sheng.

"What is General Qinglong talking about?"

Protecting Yu Sheng behind him, Ying Kongshi stared at Qinglong's every move.

"Prince Shi? That guard is Prince Shi?"

"Really? I said that it looks like you guys don't listen, just look!"

"..."

The veterans were in a commotion again, which was very different from the impression they had of Yu Sheng. Ying Kongshi was in their hearts, that was the Xiaoyong general who defeated the Fire Clan on behalf of the lord and fought side by side with General Ka Suo. High place admires worship well.

"Prince Shi must be very clear in his heart."

As he spoke, Qinglong shook a silver mask in his hand from behind.

"What do you want to do?"

"Prince Shi may have seen the Demon Lord, so let Yu Sheng "Prince" wear this mask, what kind of visual experience will he have?"

Deliberately emphasizing the word "Prince", Qinglong smiled sinisterly again.

"you……"

Ying Kongshi clenched his fists tightly. If there were not so many people present, he would have punched him a few times earlier, beating the Qinglong until he couldn't even speak a word.

"fine."

Yu Sheng stretched out his hand and wrapped Ying Kongshi's whole hand inside.

"Little Sheng?"

Sensing the change in the atmosphere around Yu Sheng, Ying Kongshi turned his head and looked back.

"There are tens of thousands of similar people in this world. If I put on a mask and say that I am a demon king, wouldn't General Qinglong think this is a joke?"

With a faint response, Yu Sheng suddenly calmed down.

When he saw the mask in Qinglong's hand, his openness and aloofness as a demon king seemed to be awakened, making him calm all of a sudden.

Aside from Ying Kongshi's attitude towards him, the most urgent task now is not to let Ying Kongshi protect him like this forever.

"you--"

As soon as Yu Sheng's momentum came out, Qinglong's calves became weak from the shock.

There are more and more people watching, and many generals who have fought against the demons kept muttering in low voices. When there are more people, Ying Kongshi becomes irritable. Fortunately, Yu Sheng is leaning against him, and the calming fragrance It's not enough to make him go crazy for a while.

"I'm afraid it's Prince Yu Sheng who wouldn't dare—don't tell me if you look like it, just with your temperament..."

"...The devil Weiqing passed away many years ago, and Yu Sheng and I have similar auras. Why doesn't General Qinglong think that this prince is Weiqing?"

Ying Kongshi questioned loudly, and Ying Kongshi felt more and more that the situation was wrong. He always felt that Qinglong had another purpose for Yu Sheng to wear this mask, and he didn't want Yu Sheng to take this unknown risk.

"Flower..."

Yu Sheng was taken aback for a moment, he thought that after last night, Ying Kongshi would keep a distance from him in everything, never thought that he would still protect him like this at such a moment.

Thinking of this, Yu Sheng tightened Ying Kongshi's hand again.

"Prince Shi, don't forget, there is a saying called 'Reincarnation.'"

"'Reincarnation?' Heh, there are too many coincidences in this world, how can I meet Ying Kongshi all of them!?"

"But...what if?"

Qinglong asked one question after another, Ying Kongshi's response pace was very fast, and there was no disadvantage in answering fluently.

"Okay, even if he is really the devil, then this is my Ying Kongshi's family matter. How to deal with him is also a matter between me and my father. Besides, the war has not yet broken out and the world is peaceful. You all have the time to work together." There is no need to worry about the sky here, and I don’t want to strengthen the training, do I really have to wait until the demons raise their troops and then feel sorry for myself?!”

Continuing to question him relentlessly, Ying Kongshi became more and more excited as he spoke, and couldn't control himself anymore.

He can still talk nonsense with his teeth, he can do it.

"Prince Shi's words are serious. I just want to test Prince Yu Sheng's confidence. I never thought that after a little trial, Prince Shi will lose his temper."

A tricky smile surfaced on his face, Qinglong turned the mask in his hand again, and looked at Ying Kongshi who looked astonished.

If you care about it, you will be chaotic, and you will be eager to protect the calf.

His reaction was a little too intense.

During the entire conversation, Qinglong deliberately provoked a few words before he couldn't bear to speak out, for fear that others would misunderstand his Yu Sheng.

Some things, the more you explain them, the more real they become.

Because of you, guilty conscience.

"you you……"

Feeling deeply that she was cheated, Ying Kong trembled in relief.

The feeling of deliberately defending his shortcomings seemed to tell everyone that he knew the truth, not only did he know, he also knew very clearly.

If you want to cover it up, the more you describe it, the darker it is.

For a long time, no one dared to answer.

"You're... kind of like a hen."

With a few words, Yu Sheng let go of Ying Kongshi's hand and rubbed his ears.

"Remain……"

Ying Kongshi twitched the corners of his mouth, Yu Sheng said he looked like what?

"Noisy."

Crackling, nagging and talking a lot, but the words became more and more unclear, he still didn't show much, Ying Kongshi was fine, he spread his wings to protect him, not like a cooing The calf-protecting old hen, what does it look like?

It's a pity that this analogy doesn't sound good.

After a short conversation, the young soldier who didn't know why laughed, and the atmosphere eased up a bit. Yu Sheng walked to Qinglong's side gracefully.

"If I take it, you won't see why. How about I want you to kill 99 pheasants to reward the soldiers?"

Yu Sheng just doesn't want to win people's hearts and boost morale, but when he really understands it and puts it into practice, the effect will be extraordinary.

"it is good!"

The young soldiers were full of vigor, and when they heard that they were about to eat meat, some immediately applauded.

"Then you have to put it on first."

"it is good……"

Yu Sheng had a smile at the corner of his mouth, that evil smile, three parts resembled Yuan Ji, four parts resembled Ying Kong Shi, Qinglong was in a trance for a while, I was afraid that his special mask would not be able to make a name for it.

And this mask is indeed as Ying Kong Shi thought, it is very dangerous, because it contains the pure and yang aura of heaven and earth, if it is really that heinous villain, his face will be burned to seven or eight points in this area.

Everyone breathed still, watching Yu Sheng put on the mask slowly, slowly.

Here, no one knows that before the Demon Lord became a Demon Lord, he had a more noble identity, but that identity was too long ago, so no one wanted to believe that the God Lord of Light who only appeared in books, and Their Prince Yu Sheng not only has the same name, but also a key colleague.

The so-called righteousness of heaven and earth was created by him once.

Ying Kongshi watched Yu Sheng's movements tensely, but the moment Yu Sheng put on the mask——

Suddenly - a fire broke out in the grain and grass department, black smoke billowed, everyone turned around and reacted quickly to put out the fire.

The scene turned around in an instant, and no one cared about the confusing guesses anymore. They only knew that the most important thing to do was to put out the fire.

That was the food they were able to sustain. Once it was destroyed, the consequences would be disastrous.

Qinglong originally wanted to wait for Yu Sheng to put on the mask before flying away, but he saw a man in demon clothes flying out from the grain and grass, and immediately chased after Yu Sheng.

Yu Sheng threw down the mask that was about to be put on, and flew to follow.

Ying Kongshi looked at the two who were flying away, wondering whether he should also follow.

Because if he knew at that time that he would go through thousands of hardships before he could regain his freedom and see his father again, he would not have chased him without any scruples like this.

However, how could he know what happened later?

Ying Kongshi shook his head, raised his sleeves, and flew to follow.
