I am His Majesty's favorite

On the seventh day of living together in the small mansion, Lian Xizhuo disappeared.

Ji Huaichen didn't know where he went.

The sundries that had been piled up before and the cabinets that had not been assembled in time were cleaned up overnight.The windows inside the house are bright and clean, spotless.

Lian Xizhuo didn't leave even one of his personal belongings, as if Ji Huaichen had always been the only one in this wooden house.

General Ji lived alone in the outskirts of the city for a few days, getting up early to practice boxing, cooking at noon, and in the evening overlooking the only mountain road leading to the city in the small courtyard.

It's a pity that the weather is not beautiful, there were several heavy snowfalls in a row, and in the end I couldn't even watch the sunset.

The relationship between Lin Heng and Mu Chen continued to heat up, and holding hands and hugging became the norm.Even if we sleep together in the same bed every day, we still have to cuddle together for a little while before snuggling up to sleep.

The result of flirting with the sweetheart to the point of not hearing anything outside the window is that His Majesty the Emperor only learned of the disappearance of his little uncle before the New Year's Eve.

Dong Zi'an, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, came to meet the saint after noon, and asked for an order to inquire whether the regulations on New Year's Eve should be handled as in previous years, or whether to hold a banquet in the Palace of Hegemony according to the proposal of Lian University.

Hearing this, Lin Heng was very surprised. Regardless of when he came back, let's just say that in the past three years, Lian Xizhuo has never been so diligent.

Banquets can be hidden for a while, and it is normal if no one can be found, let alone suggestions for setting up a venue.

These few days, Lin Heng was just hanging out with Mu Chen, and he didn't pay attention to the matter of his return to the palace.Seeing Dong Zi'an's inquiry, he ordered him to arrange it according to Lian Xizhuo's wishes.

"As the saying goes, abnormality is a demon. The little uncle rushed back in a hurry and didn't allow anyone to say anything. There must be something wrong with the man in the general's mansion."

Mu Chen is leaning over to describe Danqing, and he is quite happy to watch the excitement together.

"Guess, did they fight outside the city?"

Lin Heng smiled helplessly, raised the scroll and tapped on his forehead.

"One article and one military, you are the most important minister of Nanchang. You, even wearing the lonely court clothes, why don't you know how to give me advice and solve problems?"

"I don't know how to solve problems, but I'm afraid that the world will not be chaotic. This prince is good at it. How about I help you find my little uncle?"

Lin Heng was really amused by his little ancestor, and his smile was rippling. "Forget it. He's hiding it, but he's making it clear that he wants to refuse to talk. It's better for them to calm down now."

His Majesty the Emperor originally wanted to make a small noise, but it will be fine after a while.

Unexpectedly, when the New Year's Eve is close to the [-]th, all I hear is Lian Xizhuo cleaning up the old books, arranging the cooperation with Xi Chuan in the next year, and even taking time to go to Dali Temple to read the files all afternoon and so on.

It is equivalent to saying that Lian University has hardly closed his eyes recently, and has been working non-stop.

The most important thing is that Lin Heng has always only heard his voice, but not his person.

This made His Majesty the Emperor suddenly feel the seriousness of the matter.

Therefore, after several reports from the palace officials about the discovery of a university scholar who was busy turning into a spinning top at a certain time and place, and euphemistic complaints from the head of the imperial guards that he could not stand the one-on-one beating by a certain general, Lin Heng resolutely reconsidered Mu Chen's proposal .

The two decided to attack one by one. Whether it can be solved or not is another matter, but first of all, the mental state of both of them must return to normal.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from Lianxizhuo volunteered, citing scriptures and making a generous statement.The specific effect is unknown for the time being, anyway, before going out, he fooled the emperor very much.

Lin Heng changed into unremarkable regular clothes, avoided the guards at night, and slipped out of the palace gate to the city defense camp.

The city defense camp is not the kind of recuperation shed that is randomly built during the expedition, but a training and martial arts field covering an area of ​​[-] mu.

If Ji Huaichen was involved in military affairs, he would occasionally take a rest in the mansion assigned to the central general.

Lin Heng didn't want to delay, so he skipped the whole process of communicating with the generals, walked through several halls, and kicked away the two people fighting in the martial field.

Zhao Ke, the head of the left guard, is also a formidable character. None of the other brothers are Ji Huaichen's opponents.

Zhao Ke got a kick and happened to perfectly escape Ji Huaichen's attack. He was about to thank him, but when he saw Lin Heng's icy face, he backed up several steps in fright.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?!"

"Don't leave yet, have you been beaten enough?"

While speaking, Lin Heng rolled up his sleeves and raised his chin at Aijiang.

"Don't you want to learn from each other? I will accompany you alone!"

General Ji's eyes were red now, and there was a strong smell of alcohol before he got close.

Lin Heng didn't bother to show mercy to him so much, he was pinned down and unable to move after just three moves in hand-to-hand combat.

"Are you awake?" Lin Heng put one hand on the side of his neck, and with the other hand grabbed a handful of dirt and paste it on the top of his head. "Look at your virtue, you don't care about anything when your sweetheart runs away?"

"Those are subordinates who have accompanied you through life and death, and have fought bloody battles. If you want to fight, you can just come to the palace to find an orphan. What kind of skill is it to take innocent people to vent their anger?!"

Lin Heng originally aimed to control the opponent with one move, and didn't deliberately accumulate strength, and several heavy blows all landed on the opponent's knees and abdomen.

Ji Huaichen lay on the ground panting, his joints hurt so much that he couldn't help gasping for air.After such a lot of tossing, the alcohol has indeed subsided a lot.

"Your Majesty...what you taught is that the minister...convicted."

"Is this what I want to hear? Convicted, I see that you still want to be beaten!"

General Ji was already exhausted from his previous fights, and under the crushing force value, he really didn't have any extra thoughts to be presumptuous with Lin Heng.

He raised his hand as a gesture of begging for mercy, stood up staggeringly, drew the sword from his waist and handed it over.

"I know that the brothers are sympathetic and tolerant, and have never been cruel. What I said refers to the crime of treating the royal family members lightly."

Lin Heng is also very familiar with the soft sword Zhuo Lianxi made. The sword body was forged by skilled craftsmen after several months.

On the hilt of the sword is the word 'Yuqing', which was carved by Ji Huaichen himself with one stroke.

"Beauty powder is given to a beauty, and a good sword is given to a confidant. Your Majesty, he said give it back to me, and don't want it."

"You asked for it yourself?" Lin Heng snorted angrily.

"Thanks to Lian Xizhuo's good temper, if I change Gu, I have to use this sword to dig out your heart to see. It is extremely stupid to hurt others and yourself."

Ji Huaichen couldn't help but burst into a wry smile, this man who was decisive in killing and attacking was completely defeated at the moment.

"Yeah, extremely stupid." He bowed his head and murmured. "But what can I do? Before he died, my father told me that no matter what, I must guard Yuqing and start a family."

"He has suffered too much, and he should have been blessed by God. He has a happy little family, with harps and zithers singing in harmony, and descendants around his knees. And for a person like me who doesn't even know if he has a future, how can I stop him from it, delusional Hand in hand with him for a lifetime?"

"The sword has no eyes on the battlefield. Maybe one day I will die for my country. Your Majesty, do you want my dead soul to look at him and support my mourning?"

Ji Huaichen's back hurt so much that he couldn't stand up, so he simply sat down on the ground.

"He said that 17 years of waiting couldn't warm my heart. He was wrong. How many times have I been attacked by the enemy, lingering in the dead, and his face flashed in front of my eyes."

"I have experienced despair and killing, so I want to protect him well, and also protect the glory of the General's Mansion for a hundred years."

"In the final analysis, do you not trust him, or do you not trust Gu?"

Lin Heng put his hands behind his back and sneered: "Even if you don't have the merits of fighting with your life, is it possible that you can do such dirty things that are hidden away?"

"Of course not, Your Majesty. Back then, I raised all my troops and horses to welcome you to the throne, because I valued your tenacity and wisdom. It is also because of this that the Ji family has been loyal and good for generations. How can I abandon the country for my own selfishness? "

"It's not like Nan Chan's country is going to perish tomorrow, you can..."

"I can not!"

Ji Huaichen raised his head suddenly, two drops of muddy tears dripped down his dusty face.

"He is the person I met when I was young and decided to protect him for the rest of my life. How can I give him hope and let him down cruelly?"

"Then you have the heart to see Lian Xizhuo having a hard time from now on?"

Lin Heng was really agitated by Ji Huaichen's perverted thinking.

"Okay, if you insist on this, I won't persuade you any more."

"Just one thing, stick to your broken principles and part ways with him, or cherish each other while you are still there. Huaichen, time will not wait for these four words, you can figure it out yourself."
