Mu Hanzhong

After the death of the emperor, Xuanzhu City was completely blank, and in the magnificent palace city at the northernmost point, everything was white.The golden glaze of the grand and magnificent buildings and palaces, and the vermilion palace walls are poured under the winter sun, and the solemnity is unknowingly a bit more bleak.

The guards in armor and sharp guards sent out every three steps, and guarded every five steps. The guards were orderly and very strict.

In a corner of the huge palace city, there are layers of guards. The expressionless tall guard exudes a terrifying cold aura, and even the birds on the dead branches dare not approach them for food.

Behind the closed copper gate is a staircase leading to the ground.

There is no light all year round, it is cold and humid, and it is the prison used to imprison the royal family in the palace city.

In the depths of the dungeon, there is an independent cell separated by an iron fence.Several candlesticks placed on the ground in the corner illuminated the darkness, revealing the furnishings in the cell.It is unexpectedly luxurious and refined.

Picking up the purple clay pot on the table with her slender hands, she slowly poured tea into a porcelain cup.

Water-blue butterflies fluttered around the young man sitting at the table, and the dazzling flashes of bright colors kept moving up and down.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Si Huanghan lowered his eyes, and suddenly opened his mouth.

The gradually louder footsteps stopped at the entrance of the cell a foot away from him.Then, a slightly deep and pleasant voice sounded.

"Oh, is it?"

The young man in white bowed his head and chuckled, then after the guard opened the cell door, he bent slightly and walked in.He has a smile on the corner of his mouth, handsome appearance, and graceful demeanor, who is it not Huan Ye Wang Mu Hanzhong?

"Yes." Sihuang Hanlian pushed the poured tea to the position opposite him, and continued, "Brother Hanzhong finally arrived. To be honest, Hanlian is very happy, but also a little uneasy."

"Oh, why?" Wu Ye lifted his robe and sat down in front of the young man, picked up the teacup, and looked straight at Si Huanghanlian.

"I'm afraid that Brother Hanzhong will come, but I'm also afraid that you won't come. When I see you, I'm a little scared, but also very happy. It's really contradictory." He sighed softly.

"..." Wu Ye didn't answer, but just drank tea quietly.

"...This Yuqian Longjing, Brother Han Zhong, you still can't get used to drinking it?" Si Huang Hanlian said suddenly.

"..." Wu Ye put down his teacup and frowned slightly.

"Unfortunately, Han Lian can't bring out the Junshan Silver Needle to entertain you, Brother Han Zhong." Si Huang Han Lian sighed lowly, then curled the corners of his mouth in a self-deprecating manner, and finally met Wu Ye with his dark eyes, No longer going around in circles: "Brother Han Zhong, the purpose of coming here today is not the Jun Mountain that Han Lian cooks."

He stated quietly, as if he was talking about the fact that something had happened.

"I have a question to ask you." Something cold flashed past Si Huanghan's long dark eyes.

"Oh, do you have a question for me?" Si Huanghanlian smiled without any surprise, his eyes moved, and suddenly stopped somewhere.There, it was the hem of the snow-white shirt of the young man on the opposite side, the area was small, and a little red blood was very eye-catching.

Looking down, there was also a pool of small stains on the snow-white carpet.

Then, his eyes moved slowly, and what he saw was his right hand hanging by his side, and a few tiny streams of blood that were sliding down from his right hand.

Si Huang Hanlian's heart moved, his face remained calm, and he continued to smile: "Oh, Brother Hanzhong wants to ask me a question, so let's explain Han Lian's confusion first! Han Lian is not used to being confused, and always hopes to ask for help. clear."

Wu Ye knew what he was going to ask, so he just nodded.

Si Huang Han Lian suddenly suppressed his smile, and his exquisite face was serious: "Brother Han Zhong, where did you get those [-] soldiers and horses?"

"...In the border area of ​​Mobei, there are more than fifteen large and small checkpoints and towns, each with [-], and a total of [-]." Wu Ye said calmly, without even moving his eyebrows.

"Haha...Brother Hanzhong, don't play tricks on me. Han Lian is not talented, but you know that General Yunhui has no right to dispatch soldiers at will. Even if you can persuade Liang Haoxuan to assign some people to you to bring back to Beijing, the rest In a few places, it is impossible."

Si Huanghan twitched the corners of his mouth, with a hint of disdain and sarcasm on his face.

The army of the State of Yin was divided into two, except for those stationed in Xuanjing, the rest were distributed in various military locations across the country, each guarding one side.In a short period of time, thousands of people were taken away from various strongholds in Mobei. Without the emperor's imperial order, it is simply a fantasy!

Wu Ye raised his eyes slightly, and said lightly: "I can't, there is always someone who can."

Si Huanghan shuddered violently, his expression changed drastically: "Father?!"

Wu Ye smiled lightly, this smile was as smooth as a spring breeze, but it caused a chill to slowly rise in the heart of the young man who saw it.

"General Yunhui can't, but Emperor Dayin can always."

The night before Baizhou suppressed bandits, Si Huang Yunyi secretly summoned Wu Ye into the palace.The two talked all night.Before leaving, Wu Ye finally couldn't help being puzzled and asked.

Si Huang Yunyi had no choice but to smile bitterly.

"Among so many sons, I most hope that you can inherit my seat. But... I also know best that you don't like this one."

"When I was young, I used to be a military force, and I let my desires bring about disasters, which not only interfered with government affairs, but also disturbed the people...

The next generation of Yin country monarchs do not want to expand the border of our Dayin, but only want to save the people and make the world safe. ... Over the years, I have seen it very clearly.Han Hong is the best candidate. "

He looked at Wu Ye for a long time, then said in a low voice:

"For so long, Han Hong has never let me down... Presumably, this time is no different."

It was not until these words were spoken that Wu Ye finally confirmed the doubts that had surrounded Panhuan for a long time.Si Huang Yunyi was not indulging in wine and sex and ignoring government affairs as rumored, he just set up the stage, stood far below the stage, watched his sons scrambling for it, and secretly observed and considered...

Here, Si Huanghanlian's face turned from red to white and then to blue, his bright black eyes lost focus for a moment, and he stared at Wu Ye blankly.

"Hahahaha——" After a long time, the young man suddenly got up and laughed wildly. He swept his long sleeves, and the utensils around him fell down one after another. The porcelain shattered into pieces, and the wooden utensils were broken into pieces. The house is already a mess.

Sitting there, Wu Ye indifferently watched Si Huang Hanlian suddenly go crazy, and listened to the insane laughter, and remained motionless.

late!Haha, he finally understood what Si Huang Yunyi meant when he said it was too late before he died!

It turned out that it was premeditated! It turned out that there were countermeasures!It turns out... what I did was just a child's play in the eyes of that always ruthless and majestic person.

His teeth were rattling, and Si Huanghanlian's face was twisted almost ferociously.

Even if he didn't take this power struggle seriously from the beginning, he could bear it easily in the end, but the truth made him so angry that he couldn't control himself!

Si Huang Hanfeng's sneering face appeared in front of him, he twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, lifted his chin slightly, and moved his lips.

"Thirteenth brother... you are really... a child..."

His pupils widened violently, and Si Huanghan slammed his fist on the vertical iron bars.All of a sudden, there was a constant buzzing sound, and the huge iron grid made of black iron trembled slightly.

……

"Now that you've got the answer, now it's my turn."

Wu Ye put down the porcelain cup in his hand, and slowly got up from the chair.He has always been good at restraining his emotions, but when he spoke again, his voice was still unconsciously tinged with deep coldness and anger.

"--You made all those things on Nan Xiaohuan's body?"

"It seems that brother Han Zhong has found your bodyguard?" Si Huang Han Lian didn't turn around.

"Why?" Wu Ye took a step forward and asked through gritted teeth.

The pawns buried in the army with great effort should not be wasted like this.Now that he knew the detoxification method, there was no reason to spare Nan Xiaohuan's life.

Don't kill him, grab him to your side, just for that kind of humiliation?

"...Heh." Si Huanghan laughed out loud, he stood up straight, and said, "I said before, people always want to hold the things they are obsessed with in their own hands."

"Infatuation?" Wu Ye seemed to hear some joke, "His Royal Highness Wu Jin, I want a real reason."

...the real reason?

Si Huanghan said in his heart, then lowered his head, and let out a low laugh. He laughed happily for a while, then suddenly changed the subject: "Do you know what he said, Brother Han Zhong?"

"'My master is only Mu Hanzhong'...hehe...what a ridiculous foolish loyalty..." He smiled and shook his head, the corners of his mouth hidden in the shadows slightly curled up, "however, such a fool Zhong...but I appreciate it very much..."

The last sentence is inaudible.

"Come on, Brother Han Zhong." Han Lian turned around abruptly, his delicate face was full of smiles, "Since I've done it, I won't be afraid of the result."

Wu Ye was stunned for a moment, for that beautiful smile, for the boy who was so real for the first time without any pretense.

After an unknown amount of time, he lowered his head and took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve.

Wu Ye's eyes stopped on it.

"Brother Hanzhong, hurry up." The boy raised his neck, still smiling.

Wu Ye uncorked the bottle, poured out a red pill, and threw it into Si Huanghanlian's hands.

Si Huang Hanlian held it in his hand and looked at it, then raised his head and swallowed it.

The medicine slid down the throat, and the place where it slid was hot and painful like fire.

After half a stick of incense, although Si Huanghanlian still maintained his standing posture, he was at the end of his strength.His face was pale, his lips were blue and purple, and beads of sweat dripped from his skin like rain. It could be seen that he was in great pain.

"After taking the poison of 'Juejue' for five days, I lost all my internal strength. For three years, I lost my sense of sight, hearing, and touch..." Wu Ye said calmly, watching the five sense organs distorted and tangled together due to the severe pain. The young man said, "Since you have hurt him and humiliated him, then you will have to bear the price yourself."

The upturned phoenix eyes were black and white, as if they were permanently covered by ice.

"I'll have someone feed you the rest of the medicine on time."

Si Huang Hanlian was still smiling, even though the pain was unbearable, even though he could hardly help howling.

He stared at Wu Ye with moist eyes, and smiled with joy and enjoyment.

"...Brother Hanzhong..." He murmured, blinking his long eyelashes, and finally spit out the words on the tip of his tongue, "...Treat him well."

Wu Ye's heart moved, and the two looked at each other.

The chill between Wu Ye's brows seemed to have melted a bit, and after a long time, he nodded slightly.

"That's natural."

Looking at him deeply for the last time, Wu Ye wanted to turn around and leave: "...you...you can do it yourself."

Si Huang Hanlian finally couldn't hold on anymore, and collapsed on the ground, panting heavily, his eyes dimmed, as if his consciousness had been lost.

"Brother Hanzhong...I have one last request...I...want to see Concubine Mu...for one time..."

Winter plums are in full bloom, and from a distance, they look like clouds and brocades.The overwhelming cold fragrance lingers on the tip of the nose, refreshing.

Wu Ye stood outside the door with his hands behind his back, his eyes wandering.

Inside the room, Si Huang Hanlian was sitting on the ground with his head resting on the lap of a woman in palace attire.

The woman is extremely beautiful, with black hair flowing down like a waterfall, her expression is indifferent but has a trace of warmth, she just sits there quietly, and everything around her is overshadowed.

The mother and son whispered something.

Wu Ye had never seen so many expressions on Si Huanghanlian's face.

He will have crooked eyebrows and smile innocently, like a child.He will also frown, pucker up his lips, and act coquettishly.The body can't help shaking while laughing, and there is no etiquette at all.

He rubbed against the woman's leg, circling the few strands of black hair hanging down with his fingers, his eyebrows and eyes were full of reluctance.

Concubine Mei is quiet and indifferent by nature, but she is smiling and caring for her only son.

Si Huanghan stayed inside for about two cups of tea, then got up and walked out.

"Shouldn't we talk a little longer?" Wu Ye asked.

Si Huanghan curled his lips, looked at the plum blossoms in the courtyard, and said with a smile: "Talk more and talk less, you always have to leave."

Wu Ye remained silent.The two walked out.

However, after walking a few steps, Wu Ye stopped and turned to look at the woman who was sitting quietly in the hall, watching the two of them leave.

Si Huanghan looked at him suspiciously.

Wu Ye shook his head, turned around and continued to leave.

——That kind of feeling, he must be overthinking...

Liang Haoxuan followed Wu Ye step by step.

Wherever they passed, the guards and court ladies saluted respectfully.

Wu Ye got on his horse, pulled up the rein, and turned to those who followed him: "...these days, the palace guards are arranged, just follow the orders of Lord Quan. You don't need to report to me."

"The last general obeys." Liang Haoxuan clasped his fists and saluted, and still insisted on sending Wu Ye out of the Supreme Harmony Gate before turning and leaving.

Slowly riding the horse on the bluestone road, the cold north wind blew up the hem of the black-haired clothes, Wu Ye's heart also calmed down a little bit with the cold.

Sitting down, the steed neighed, Wu Ye pulled the reins, looked up, and saw the four golden characters of Shunyu Palace reflecting the sunlight, very dazzling.

Wu Ye lowered his head and smiled helplessly, and came here unknowingly, so let's go in and see the third brother.

The servant at the door immediately stepped forward to salute and brought him into the mansion.

He waved them all back, and alone, he walked through the corridor familiarly and walked to the back courtyard.

It was close to noon at this moment, and the sun hung high in the sky, shedding a thousand zhang rays of light, bringing some warmth.

On the open space in the courtyard, a man with his upper body bare was practicing with a gun.

Sweat slid down from the agitated muscles, forming a puddle of water under the man's feet.

The spear pierced the air, and every move the man made was very simple and plain, yet very calm and powerful, hitting the vital point.There are not too many tricks, they are all merciless killer moves.

After the man finally stopped waving the spear, Wu Ye, who had been watching for a long time, walked out of the shadow with a smile.

"Third brother."

"Eh? Han Zhong? When did you come..." Si Huang Hanhong picked up a handkerchief beside him and wiped the sweat from his forehead, looking at his younger brother walking towards him in surprise.

"Third brother is patronizing the pistol, so naturally he can't see me." Wu Ye said with a low smile.

"Can't you just talk nicely? You kid..." Si Huanghanhong glared at him, threw the spear to the servants who were waiting on the side, and then pulled Wu Ye to the side room.

As a result, after walking a few steps, Si Huang Hanhong stopped abruptly. He grabbed Wu Ye's right hand that was hanging by his side, his eyebrows frowned, and a trace of astonishment appeared on his face: "How did you do this?" ?”

On the right hand that was forcibly pulled up by him, on the slender white fingers, there were several wounds running horizontally.The surrounding blood had dried up, but some blood still gushed out from the intertwined flesh and blood due to Si Huang Hanhong's actions...

"Accidentally." Wu Ye wanted to pull back his hand, but Si Huang Hanhong's strength was astonishing.

Amber eyes fell on him, as if to see through his lies.After a few moments, Si Huang Hanhong sighed, stopped asking, and continued walking while pulling the person along, while shouting to one side: "Yin'er, take out the medicine box!"

"Remember to change the medicine on time..." Liu Fengyin gently bandaged Wu Ye's right hand, while moving, she instructed softly: "Also, don't let the wound get wet for a few days..."

Wu Ye hummed again and again, unconsciously, a smile appeared on his face.

"Still laughing?" Si Huang Hanhong was quite dissatisfied, he looked down at Wu Ye's right hand, and said, "If there is a scar, can you still laugh?"

"What's the point of a man leaving a scar?" Wu Ye laughed, squinting at Sihuang Hanhong, his eyes resting on his chest, which he casually put on a coat. ah."

"..." Sihuang Hanhong helped his forehead helplessly, this younger brother had obviously never been so glib before, who knows if he is playing tricks or not, but no one can win when he plays tricks.

Liu Fengyin couldn't help laughing, while putting away the medicine box, she looked at the two brothers in front of her: "Okay, Han Zhong, your third brother cares about you too, so don't tease him..."

"Sister-in-law, I didn't tease him." Wu Ye looked aggrieved and looked at the woman in front of him.

Liu Fengyin shook her head and stopped talking.She put the medicine box away, looked back at Wu Ye, and asked softly: "Let Han Zhong stay and have dinner together!"

"Go, Yin'er! Cook more of Han Zhong's favorite dishes." Si Huang Han Hong waved his hand without asking the opinions of those around him.

Wu Ye smiled but said nothing, he looked down at his heavily bandaged right hand, and then looked up at Si Huang Hanhong who was beside him.

The man has handsome features, and his amber eyes are calm and open. When he noticed his gaze, he smiled back.

That smile was warm and inclusive, full of pampering and helplessness.In the eyes is the warmth that an elder brother can only have for a younger brother.

The smile on the corner of his mouth deepened, and then he leaned forward and leaned softly towards Si Huang Hanhong who was beside him.

Si Huanghan Hong was a little surprised, then shook his head helplessly, stretched out his arms to wrap him around, and hugged him into his arms.Looking at the young man who was huddled tightly in his arms when he was wronged when he was young, he stretched out his hand to stroke the black hair on the top of his head, and sighed softly: "...how old are you...why are you still like this... ..."

Wu Ye smelled the body odor mixed with sweat and green grass on Si Huang Hanhong's body, and felt that all the previously suppressed emotions surged out and filled his chest, extremely sore and uncomfortable.

Si Huang Hanhong just lowered his head like that, stroking the hair of the person in his arms, lowered his voice, and asked softly: "What's going on... Tell the third brother... The third brother can help you think about it. "

When Wu Ye heard this, he laughed unconsciously.

If he used it to coax people many years ago, he will not change it now... But, he really likes this...

"Third brother..." The cold voice was muffled, with a few traces of imperceptible fragility and deep worry.

"Well, well, third brother is here..." The man seemed to comfort the child, and patted the young man's back lightly, "...it's all right...everything will be fine...don't worry..."

Wu Ye didn't speak anymore, just lay quietly in Si Huang Hanhong's broad chest.

For a long time, the two hugged each other like this, Wu Ye didn't speak, and Si Huang Hanhong didn't ask.

Wu Ye only felt that the turbulent emotions gradually calmed down...

"Third brother." Wu Ye moved his body and spoke again, his voice was a little hoarse.

"Huh?" Si Huanghan hung his eyes down.

"I'm thinking...if the inevitable damage has been done...afterwards, what should I do..." so that the person no longer has any shadows in his heart...

And what is the probability of complete healing?

Si Huang Hanhong rubbed the black hair in his hands.

"...I... didn't want to..."

Wu Ye's voice became lower and lower, and his body began to shake slightly again.

Si Huanghan hugged tightly, thought for a while, and then said: "...don't keep thinking about things that have happened..."

"Time will not flow backwards, and the instant damage will not disappear completely because you make up for it afterwards..."

"but……"

He paused, "But... remember your mood at this moment..."

"Then whisper to yourself, never repeat the same mistakes..."

He moved closer to Wu Ye's ear, his warm breath reassuring.

And the pattern of butterflies around flowers that has been lingering in Wu Ye's mind for a long time, finally slowly broke into pieces.

Instead, that familiar determined face.

Never make the same mistake again!Absolutely not!

——From now on, no matter what means he uses, he will definitely protect him completely!There will be no more omissions!

Wu Ye silently swore in his heart, and slowly clenched his hands around Si Huanghan's waist into fists.
