Second minister and thief

step.

"Jiu, Jiushang! What's wrong with you?! I'm sorry, I'm sorry...I'll depend on you...I'll depend on you! You, you, don't scare me anymore. .....Come on, come on...Come on, come on!!! Ah!!!"

Perhaps his panicked shouts resounded through the sky, and after a while, three or five people rushed over, "What's going on? What's the noise like? I really think this old man is your servant. Come at any moment, leave at any moment? After working for several days, it is easy to calm down, but it is still uneasy! If there is a next time... Yo, it turns out that the general woke up."

"Which song is this singing?"

The white-bearded old man with fluttering feathers and the boy pushed open the wooden door and came into the house. General Xiao, who had just woken up with a high fever and was sickly, was paralyzed on the ground like mud for some reason, with two drops of crystals hanging from the corners of his eyes. tears.

As for the one leaning on the couch, his heart was hardened, his head was lowered, his lips were tightly pressed, and he just didn't want to take a look here.

Chu Linqiu had a sudden attack just now, almost coughing out his heart and lungs, but now his cheeks were unexpectedly stained a little blush, and he felt a little angry for no reason.

In fact, he wasn't really angry with Xiao Cen, it was just that he couldn't see that person being so humble and humble.

"Sir came just in time, please drag this person away quickly. Cough cough, if you can get another injection to make him sleepy for a few days, that would be great."

For the next few days, Chu Linqiu intentionally ignored Xiao Cen who was going crazy, and let him toss around by himself while calmly reading the text, until the man tiptoed to the side of the couch and lightly took the book in his hand. Gently pull out.

"You, you've already watched a stick of incense, aren't you tired? It's time to take a break." In fact, until now, Xiao Cen still has a feeling of "dreams that have not yet awakened", always feeling a little careless, The person in front of him will turn into a wisp of green smoke and disappear in the wind.

So much so that now he doesn't dare to touch every part of Chu Linqiu's body, for fear of breaking people apart.

However, General Xiao still tempered his temper after going through all kinds of hardships in his dream, and now he has somewhat regained his sanity, at least he is no longer in a constant state of panic and restlessness as before.

Chu Linqiu was interrupted by someone like this, and he managed to recover from his own thoughts. He put his hands in the fox fur and raised his head to look at it, with incomprehensible emotions flashing in his eyes. Then he laughed again, "If the general has such leisure time, why don't you go to the courtyard and do a set of punches and come back, it's better, ahem... sit here with Chu, a useless person."

"Jiu Shang!!! You say this...you are cutting my heart with a knife...don't mention this word again in the future, okay? What's a 'useless person'? The person I Xiao Cen admires is unparalleled in this world! Wen can set the country in peace, martial arts can carry a gun and ride a horse, he is as bright as the moon in his arms, as bright as a jade tree facing the wind, as solemn as Xu Tao among the pines... How could he be Is it a useless person? This is clearly... the Nine Heavens God descending to the mortal world!"

After Xiao Cen reacted, he realized that he had already put on his boots on the couch at some point, and was only a short distance away from his lover with his hands on the case, and he could imprint a kiss on the corner of his eyes just by turning slightly.

Chu Linqiu: "..."

"Go down."

"No! Jiushang, I... I... you let me cuddle for a while! Just cuddle for a while... will it work? After two hours, there is no need to push Xiao Cen away Make sure to get off of you!"

"Go down!!! Cough cough cough..."

"Jiu Shang?! What's the matter? This is Jiu Shang!!!" Seeing that Chu Linqiu was really angry this time, Xiao Cen was honest, he got off the couch neatly, rolled and crawled to the table He poured a cup of tea and then turned back to help his shoulders, and fed him in small sips. Then he patted his back and stroked his chest for a while, and said eagerly, "How do you feel? I, I, I... I'm sorry I'm sorry, I... I shouldn't have been too abrupt and forgot you... Sigh! Chu Lang, you, since you have accepted the fact that you and I were partners, why... ...to me..." So rusty and cold?

"..." Chu Linqiu regained his breath with great difficulty, and was resting limply in Xiao Cen's arms, unable to refuse. At this moment, he suddenly heard these words in a daze, and had to open his eyes to take a look. After all, he asked in a weak voice, "How can the general cuddle with a stranger for no reason...without any relationship?"

"Yes!" Xiao Cen replied decisively without thinking too much, "Chu Lang didn't know something, he was shocked when he first glanced at it, and he had already paid attention to it when he recalled it. Therefore, so..."

"The general is probably that frivolous person," Chu Linqiu sneered again, interrupting his words, "In the future... maybe he will be in front of a certain family man or young lady with a tongue like Spring. Get out!!!”

"Jiu, Jiu Shang, listen to me if you don't! I, Xiao Cen, swear to the sky that in this life, I will only fall in love with you alone. If there is any lie, I will die! Jiu Shang... Jiu Shang, look Just take a look at me? Ah? Don't, don't ignore me..." Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiao Cen's heart thumped, he trembled all over, and hurriedly hugged him tighter, and kissed him on his gray and chapped lips. He pecked a few times in a haphazard way, and then said in a sticky voice, "Chu Lang, Chu Lang...you just, you just take pity on A-Tan! A-Tan knows you are always soft-spoken and soft-hearted. He said harsh words on his face, but in fact, he was also suffering from pain here..."

"..." Hearing Chu Linqiu's words, Fang Jingjing lowered her eyes and stared at Xiao Cen's hand on her chest without saying a word, making it hard to figure out what was going on in her heart.

In this way, when the lotus flower leak in front of the pillar made a few noises, he barely reacted, "Get out... get out!!!"

"Jiu Shang...you, you, you, you, don't get angry anymore! It's not worth it for someone like me! Get down... get down immediately!!!" Xiao Cen was frightened immediately He didn't dare to do anything wrong, for fear that something bad would happen if Chu Linqiu didn't come up in one breath, he really "rolled" down lightly, and supported the man on the soft pillow by his back and tucked in the corners of the quilt.

"Niu Shang... Jiu Shang... Are you better? I'm sorry... Xiao Cen can't help you... If, if you really If you are so bored, then Xiao Cen will not do such reckless things in front of you in the future. But I hope you, I hope that the rest of your life will be safe and smooth, and all your illnesses will disappear."

If God accidentally opens his eyes to hear this wish, then the boy would rather lose his life for [-] years.

The last sentence Xiao Cen did not reveal in person, but buried it silently in his heart.Right now, he was squatting on the side of the couch like a little beast that couldn't find his mother, stretching out his hand tremblingly for Chu Linqiu, kneading the acupuncture points around his heart and forehead, trying to make him sleep more or less comfortably.

For a while, the room was silent, and the crows were silent, except for my clear and shallow breathing, which came and went, entangled.

And in this bewildering situation, Chu Linqiu folded his hands in front of his abdomen, closed his eyes tightly, and seemed to be asleep, but in reality he was full of thoughts and distracted.He also wanted to ask Xiao Cen to stop his endless confession and love, but the words came out of nowhere and turned into, "The general is really calm, after squatting for so long, don't his legs feel numb?"

"!!!" Xiao Cen was overjoyed when he heard this, and took the "sarcasm" as his concern for himself, and immediately pulled up the corners of his lips and forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, "I... ..Not numb...I'm not numb...very good! Jiushang, you are really...really the best partner in the world. I, I, Xiao, He Dehe Can you actually get such a lover? It must be the luck of the three lives, the blessings of the previous life."

He spoke incoherently and tearfully, until Chu Linqiu couldn't help but raised his eyes and glared at this person again, "The general's eloquence is eloquent, his tongue is like a lotus flower, and Chu is willing to bow down. But he didn't know that he didn't just say it." set, did you make a set?"

"Of course! Of course not! I, I swear to God..."

"Don't do this again, ahem... Since your high fever subsided, how many times have you sworn? If God is really so leisurely, I'm afraid you and I won't have such a good life pass."

"..."

Chu Linqiu originally wanted to say some words with a gun and a stick to stab him, so that the man would calm down a bit, and he was in a state of cleanliness.But for some reason, when he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Xiao Cen's lonely expression and the tears rolling in his eyes, he couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, even when the words came to his lips, his tone was He became soft and reconciled, "Since the general said that his heart belongs to Chu, how can he not know what Chu really wants? It just so happens that the sky is sunny today, so we might as well go out for a walk together."

"No!!!" Xiao Cen wanted to refuse subconsciously, but when he saw Chu Linqiu raised his upper body slightly, admiring the view outside the window with interest, his heart softened into a puddle of water in an instant, and he couldn't say anything The words didn't meet his expectations, so he changed his mouth and muttered, "I, I hug you..."

Chu Linqiu didn't say a word about it, but barely raised his eyelids, and glanced at him twice in an angry and funny manner, counting it as acquiescence.Xiao Cen was overjoyed when he saw this, he hurried to the cabinet to get some padded robes and white fur fox furs, helped Chu Linqiu to put them on one by one, fastened the thread buttons on them carefully, and put them on. People are wrapped tightly to ensure that not even a ray of cold wind will leak in.

After doing all this, he brought back a silver carved Mrs. Tang and stuffed it in Chu Linqiu's arms.In the end, in order to avoid his lover's temporary regret, he stretched out his arms tremblingly and hugged her into his arms, put on the hood, and hugged him like this.

Due to physical weakness and shortness of breath, Chu Linqiu felt a violent dizziness attack him the moment he took off into the air, causing him to close his eyes suddenly and subconsciously hooked his fingertips tightly to the front of Xiao Cen's chest.

Such a frail and fragile appearance of this person could easily arouse Xiao Cen's pity welling up in his heart, so he couldn't help but lowered his head and pressed a kiss on the center of his brow, and made a promise softly, "Chu Lang, Hu A Tan Life after life, I will never let you suffer any grievances..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted coldly by the person in his arms, "Chu is an imposing seven-foot man, why does he need someone to protect him?"

"Okay, okay! I know I was wrong." Seeing that the situation was wrong, Xiao Cen immediately changed the subject and said, "Master Chu is a hero who stands up to heaven and earth, and you deserve to protect Xiao."

Chu Linqiu: "..."

He was worried that if he listened to this person's words again, he would drive himself to death, so he simply ignored him, and he didn't open his eyes until he was carefully placed on the recliner and covered with a blanket.

Xiao Cen was not in a hurry or annoyed by this, he just squatted in the open space in front of the court like a puppy wagging his head and begging for mercy, repeatedly playing with a strand of black hair of his beloved, with a dull expression, and mumbling in his mouth that he didn't know what he was talking about.

Chu Linqiu had to listen carefully for a long time before he could barely make out a few words, "There is a saying in the past, 'Marrying hair as a husband and wife, there is no doubt about love and affection', Jiushang I... owe you a lot, but I don't know How to fix it, I have to cut out a heart and give it to you."

With this strength, the general simply sat cross-legged, squeezed the palm of the man, and confide everything about the two of them since they met, knew each other, and fell in love. A fragmented and incoherent picture, he couldn't help but let out a low moan while resting his forehead, and forced his eyes to look around in a daze.

"What's the matter?! Nine merchants? Nine merchants!" Xiao Cen was shocked when he saw the man's complexion turned pale again in an instant. Knead and knead the Bianguan acupoint for a while, and don't give up until the situation improves slightly.

"Is it better? Why did you suddenly have a headache when you were so good? Could it be... remember something? Jiushang? Jiushang, you say..." Thinking of this possibility, Xiao Cen's eyes widened A strange light full of hope burst out involuntarily, and his facial expression became a little ferocious due to excitement. Chu Linqiu, who had finally recovered from the anger, was suddenly so frightened that his eyes turned black, his heart was sluggish, and he almost passed out .

"Master Hou, Chu seems to... vaguely recall some fragments, but it's not real..."

"..." Lord Hou? ? ?Xiao Cen was overjoyed when he heard the words, knowing that Chu Linqiu remembered the time when the two of them were in the Hou's Mansion during the Fengshuo years, and the memories after that... probably didn't remain in his mind.

However, in order to further prove his almost absurd conjecture, he had to carefully hold Chu Linqiu's four fingers and asked, "Master Hou? What did you think of Jiushang? But after you and I got married... .”

"Yeah." Chu Linqiu couldn't help raising his eyelids and glanced at him a few more times, then subconsciously leaned his head back, finding a position that made him feel comfortable, "Just now, Chu seemed to be in the In a courtyard, look at Lord Hou...ahem, dancing with a gun and playing sticks. Master Hou is vigorous, and Chu...can't help but feel happy."

"!!!" When Chu Linqiu slightly parted his thin lips and uttered the words "joy from the heart", Xiao Cen could no longer express his excitement in words.Right now, he only felt that the red heart in his chest was "thumping", almost popping out of his throat.Besides, this person's mind was also blank, and he didn't know how to react at all.

After such a long time, he asked again with trembling lips, "Chu, Chu Lang, are you serious, serious...Remember that day? You and I had a great conversation, and exchanged thoughts... "

"You said that Chu is 'arrogant because of being favored'," Chu Linqiu suddenly interrupted him, his sword eyebrows stretched out like bright stars, but his expression was a little strange for some reason, "It must be that on weekdays... there is no lack of favor In that case, then please Master Hou to work harder and pamper Chu to the sky."

After all, this man was out of energy, after barely uttering such a long series of words, he fell back into Xiao Cen's arms as if exhausted, and closed his eyes wearily.

It didn't take long before he fell into a deep sleep with calm breathing, and in the end he didn't even know how to get back to the Nuan Pavilion.

Since then, the relationship between the two has finally made substantial progress.Chu Linqiu no longer rejected Xiao Cen's offer to hug her hand in front of others, but instead indulged her day by day.Occasionally, when he was quarreled violently, he just slightly raised his eyes and stared at him, but he was not angry, but unexpectedly added a little bit of amorous feelings of wanting to welcome and yet rejecting for no reason.

Spoiler: The Disturbance of Harmony ([-])

Xiao Cen always felt that during this period of time, he seemed to be soaked in a honey pot, his ears were ringing and his ears were dizzy with happiness, and he was about to faint.Not only when Maozheng first woke up, he could see Chu Linqiu's sleeping face sideways, and even the things they did when they were alone began to move closer to the direction of an ordinary couple.

Everything seems to have turned back to that midsummer in Fengshuo years, it was so beautiful that it was like an illusory dream, and it would break if you touched it.

Whenever Chu Linqiu leaned on the couch to read ancient books, General Xiao would sit by the side and fan him, rub his shoulders and beat his back, and occasionally do some small movements, such as suddenly stepping forward to clamp his jaw and cover his ears with lightning speed. He pressed a kiss on the slightly pale lips.

At first Chu Linqiu would slash his eyes fiercely with a sense of warning, but after seeing that he refused to change after repeated injunctions, he let him go.After such a long time, he has gradually gotten used to this way of getting along, and occasionally he would ask Xiao Cen to feed him some tea, or go outside to pick plum blossoms and put them in a vase.

For such errands, Xiao Cen certainly enjoyed it and couldn't extricate himself, sometimes he even hoped that Chu Linqiu would open his mouth a few more times, so that he could make up for all the debts he owed this person in the past four years.

It's just that in his spare time, he is also a little worried. He always feels that things will be reversed when extremes are extreme, and that extreme joy begets sorrow.

Because of these messy thoughts, the general was often haunted at night.Whenever he woke up panting and sweating profusely from his sleep, he would subconsciously look around for Chu Linqiu's figure.When he saw the man laying flat on his side, he let out another long breath of relief.

Ten months later in Xiaohan, Xiao Cen got up late in the middle of the night because of tossing around, and fell asleep until the sun was up, and he didn't have time to change and clean his face for Chu Linqiu, and he didn't know that he had been awake for a long time.

The general lay on his back on the bed, opened his eyes very reluctantly, and looked aside in a daze. He saw the man sitting on the table with the curtain behind his back, his fingertips were trembling, and he was slowly unfolding a slightly yellowed letter. letterhead.

"What is this?!" Xiao Cen's breath stopped, and he drove away all the sleepy bugs in an instant. He suddenly had an extremely fast premonition, so he quickly got out of bed and ran to Chu Linqiu barefoot. , and raised his hand to restrain his shoulder and tried to turn it around.

"Niu, Jiu Shang, this is... this is... impossible... I have clearly destroyed it... how did it appear here? !Who gave it to you? Who is it?!!!"

"What's wrong with Lord Hou? You lost your composure like this." Chu Linqiu flipped his wrist to avoid Xiao Cen's two fingers, and slowly raised his head to look directly at the man. He smiled, "During this period of time, I have been with Chu day and night, I can't sleep at night, and I am frightened. It's really... ahem, it's hard for Lord Hou."

"No, it's not hard to do...Xiao Cen is willing to do it..." The general replied in a low voice, holding his hands in mid-air, not knowing how to react.Before he could fully recover, he saw that the man stood up with the help of the table, and walked towards the door very slowly, staggering and alone, as if he would fall to the ground at any moment.

"Jiu Shang!!!" Shocked, Xiao Cen quickly took two steps and tried to hold his arm, but was gently brushed away by the man, and in the end he barely managed to catch the torn letter paper that was whirling and falling.

What a "fate in the past three lives, only to be married in this life"!What a "may you reshape your clothes and choose another confidant and lover after you leave"!It's better to "resolve grievances and knots, let alone hate each other; one is different and two are lenient, each is happy"!

Isn't this the damn Heli letter!There are still bits and pieces of blood left on it, just like plum blossoms in the snow, which is heartbreaking.

"Not good! Jiushang... Where can he go without wearing a cloak? Jiushang!!!" Xiao Cen hurriedly picked up the fox fur on the couch and ran out, looking for Chu Lin Qiu's figure.

But apart from the incomparable vastness, where can I touch the corner of that person's clothes?

"Jiu Shang...Jiu Shang please show up! Jiu Shang!!! You are not in good health, but don't hurt your root just to get angry with me...Everything is wrong. Xiao Cen's fault! I shouldn't, I shouldn't..."

"I shouldn't have lied to Chu, saying that you and I love each other very much, and the world envies you, but in fact, it's been a long time ago...cough cough..."

"Jiu Shang!!!" Xiao Cen was shocked and rushed over to support the crumbling body in the pavilion corridor, and quickly spread the fox fur to drape it on his shoulders, "What do you think? I'm sorry... ..Jiu Shang, I am sorry for you. Damn Atan, I shouldn’t have kept you in the dark because of my own selfishness, let alone to escape reality...I owe you a real one Apologies. About, about that letter and Li Shu, I will wait until you feel better..."

The general couldn't continue anymore. He rubbed Chu Linqiu's upper body in his arms. After a long time, he let out a soft breath and sighed, "Go back. You should go to rest when you're tired. When you wake up When you come, you will know the whole truth."

"Chu Lang believes in me, A Tan is truly repentant, and is determined to repay all the debts to you with the rest of his life, even if he will be decapitated."

"Atan is also, and is also worried that your body is too weak to be stimulated, so... Jiu Shang... Jiu Shang, you, don't say a word anymore, Ah Tan is really I'm very flustered." As time passed, Xiao Cen's tone became softer and almost crying, and his whole body was tightly attached to Chu Linqiu's thin back, and he did not withdraw his hand.

He seemed to be acting like a spoiled child to that person in such a way, trying to stir up a wave deep in that person's heart.

However, no matter how hard his lips were worn, Chu Linqiu remained unmoved at all. At this time, he was gently struggling against the shackles on his body, tilted his head and glanced at this person very indifferently, and then the corners of his lips slightly curved Like a frosty smile.

"In that case, please, general, let's talk about it after thinking it over. Chu is indeed tired, so I will go ahead. Cough..." As soon as he finished speaking, he turned over from the railing, Lightly landed in the snow, he staggered a few steps forward.

"Nine..." Xiao Cen stood at a loss and stared at his back, his face was pale and his lips trembled slightly. He didn't know what to say to keep that person from walking, and finally he had to kneel down in despair. By the side of the pavilion.

However, Chu Linqiu's heart fluctuated too much, which actually affected his old heart and lung diseases. After walking a few steps with all his strength, his lips turned purple and he vomited thick blood and fell to the ground in fatigue.

"Nine Merchants!!!"

Extra Story: The Disturbance of Harmony ([-])

"Nine merchants... Nine merchants..." Xiao Cen almost scratched the snow with his fingertips and "crawled" to Chu Linqiu's side step by step. Lifting his body up, stuffing it into his arms and shaking it gently, he kept muttering like he was in a daze, "Jiu Shang wakes up...Jiu Shang wakes up...don't scare me, okay?" ? Wake up... wake up!!!"

It wasn't that he was so frightened that he lost his mind and was at a loss what to do, but that the scene in front of him coincided with the scene in the dream, causing the general who had been tortured by the nightmare to suddenly feel a chill from the inside out.

Xiao Cen knelt and sat on the ground in a daze for a long time, and finally remembered to stretch out two fingers tremblingly to touch the side of Chu Linqiu's neck. After feeling a slight beating, he quickly picked up the man's crazy hair run wildly.

"Immortal...Immortal save him!!! Jiushang has been in a stable condition for months and is in good health, why is he vomiting blood and fainting again today? Chu Lang...I know I was wrong, I really don't know He should deliberately deceive you and fool you like an outsider. Quickly open your eyes and look at me! A Tan, A Tan will tell the whole story!"

In fact, in fact, why didn't you hide the truth from me before, and resisted the heavy burden with your own strength?This matter really needs to be broken up, how to judge right or wrong?It can only be said that both of them wanted to go wrong, so that they almost missed each other.

Xiao Cen still feels lingering fear every time he recalls the fire that almost engulfed the whole city during the Xinwei period.At that time, Chu Linqiu slumped before his eyes without any warning, and stopped breathing. It was really like a jade mountain collapsing.
