48Chapter 48
On September [-]th, dark clouds overwhelmed the city.
Looking at the gloomy sky outside, Linguo got up from the couch, wondering if he should bring back the few pots of crabapple outside the door that he had tended in his free time.
However, the moment he put on his shoes and socks, a powerful and distant bell sounded suddenly from outside the room.
"when--"
Sensitively distinguishing that the bell was coming from the direction of the inner city of Kyoto, Linguo straightened up, and suddenly had some bad premonition in her heart.
[The old emperor is dead. ]
The sound of Zero Eleven and the next bell rang at the same time, perhaps because the house Shen Ji chose was too remote, the bell sounded a little detached in Lingo's ears.
"When—when—"
After standing still and listening to all the bells, Lin Guo finally confirmed that this was the etiquette followed when the emperor of this dynasty passed away after the surroundings became quiet.
A total of 27 death knells, a lot.
[Now what shall we do? ] Leaping onto Linguo's shoulder, Zero Eleven stroked the beard next to Sanban's mouth and said, [Shen Ji's status is special, I can't monitor their situation. ]
"He will win." He raised his hand to smooth Shun Zero Eleven's silky fur, Lin Guo didn't know whether he was comforting the other party or comforting himself, "All we have to do is wait."
"When he comes home, we must guard the house for him."
As if it was a national mourning, the sky that had been gloomy for a whole day suddenly began to rain heavily. Through the translucent rain curtain, Lin Guo could see that Baoqin in a green shirt was running towards her without hesitation. Come.
"Ma'am, the young master sent someone to send a message back," panting and supporting his knees, hugging the zither without even caring to wipe off the rainwater on his body, "The situation has changed, please hurry up and go to other places with the slaves to wait, Madam." Master go home."
"Don't lie to me," unhurriedly handing over a handkerchief to wipe the other person's body, Lin Guo put away the softness in his usual voice, "This is my husband and I's home, I can go to other places besides here. Why wait for him to come back?"
The main character Gong Shou was as unmonitorable as the prince's scene, which meant that even if the old emperor died, the battle for the position still failed to reach a result.
Even if he knew that the balance of victory would quickly tilt towards the prince after Xia Shiyuan cut his robes with the fifth prince, but the power field was changing rapidly, and even if he believed in the man's skill and ability, Lin Guo's heart still couldn't control himself. up.
If Baoqin could take him away from Shen Yuan, which was arranged and named by the two of them, I am afraid that the other party had already prepared for the worst before departure.
[Don't panic, there will be three warnings when the mission target's life is in danger.] Using light illusion to hide his figure, Zero Eleven patted Linguo's shoulder comfortingly, [I will help you buy positioning shuttle props in advance, as long as As soon as the warning sounds, I will take you to Shen Ji's side. ]
It can be seen that after getting along with each other in these several worlds, what evaluation points, they are not as important in the eyes of its own host as the old lover who has been with the other party for generations.
"Ma'am, don't mess around." Unexpectedly, the usually talkative boy suddenly became tough, holding the piano and holding the handkerchief and said anxiously, "Now the capital is full of the fifth prince's army horses. Although our place is remote, we may Sooner or later it will always be found!"
"I know," he patted Qin on the shoulder, and the boy's expression became more mature than the other party could understand, "but where can we go?"
"Could it be that the prince is the king of the world, if the crown prince fails to succeed, do you think the fifth prince will let us off the remnants of the prince's faction?"
"There is only one dragon chair in the imperial city, whether to be rich or die at home, from the moment Xianggong stands behind His Highness the Crown Prince, there are only two options left for us."
"But the young master will definitely find a way to let the madam live!" I knew that what the madam said was very reasonable, but Baoqin still didn't want the other party to waste the young master's painstaking efforts, "The young master loves the madam so much, even if he risked his life, don't , and will definitely leave a way out for Madam."
"Do I look like someone who will abandon Shen Ji and live alone?" Putting away the melancholy on his face, the young man suddenly smiled playfully, "Compared to death, I am more afraid of not being able to live with him."
"There are a lot of servants in the mansion. Taking advantage of the heavy rain, you should send them away as soon as possible. If nothing happens tonight, the gate of Shen Yuan will still be open for them."
Secretly played a hypnotic band including "Leave" to Baoqin who refused to leave and the whole Shen Garden. Lin Guo held up an oiled paper umbrella and silently moved back the pots of crabapple that had been blown to one side by the wind and rain.
His heart is too small, if something really happened, except for Shen Ji, he would not be able to save other people at all.
At any rate, it can be counted as an acquaintance in this world, and it can make them leave the dangerous place of Shen Yuan early.
With the sound of rain, Lin Guo leaned against the door and stared at the strings of water curtains under the porch. For the first time, Linguo felt that the time was so long.
So long that he couldn't wait to see each other.
*
Time passed little by little while Lin Guo waited silently. The heavy rain did not stop, and there was a sudden sound of horseshoes running in the night. Before Lin Guo could show any joy on his face, Zero Eleven stood on the opponent's shoulder The boss reminded: "It's the fifth prince's men and horses."
With a tense heartstring, Lin Guo immediately called up the virtual panel of the system store, and methodically purchased equipment and skills that might be used for himself.
As long as his actions are to protect himself and the life of the target task, no matter how OOC the situation is, he will not be forcibly expelled from this world.
As long as he can get back all the unreasonable things later, he can stay by Shen Ji's side as usual like the previous two times.
But after waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Lin Guo couldn't wait for the confrontation he imagined. The pouring rain became more and more frightening, and the faint sound of horseshoes disappeared without a trace at any time, so he let go of his hands The dagger, Lin Guo suddenly had a possibility in his mind.
Sure enough, at the moment when Lin Guo raised his eyes and looked forward, a figure he couldn't be more familiar with suddenly appeared in the rain curtain illuminated by the warm-colored lantern in front of the door.
Lightning flashed with a click, and the light not only illuminated the man's face without a smile, but also illuminated the unsheathed sword in his right hand that was still dripping with light red liquid.
"Shen Ji!" Without bothering to prop up the oil-paper umbrella standing by the door, Lin Guo rushed out of the room and hugged him tightly under the heavy rain.
No matter what he told himself in his heart that nothing would happen to the other party, only at the moment when he really hugged the man could he really feel relieved.
As if some character switch had been touched, the coldness in the corners of the man's eyes and brows softened the moment he was embraced by the young man, he threw away the saber in his right hand with a "clang", and the man passed his hand through the young man's knee , easily carried the person horizontally into the house.
No one knew how anxious he was when he galloped all the way, and no one knew how timid he was when he was not close to home.
After returning from a night of fighting, he really hoped that the boy would retreat safely as he had arranged, and he was also really afraid that the boy would leave him and leave like this.
This is a despicable and nonsensical contradiction, but it was this kind of wonderful thought that made Shen Ji stop walking into Shen Yuan.
This huge house with no light in the darkness is too much like a wild beast that chooses and devours people. Even Shen Ji's mind is as firm as Shen Ji, and he can't help hesitating in front of it.
If it wasn't for the fifth prince who came here to wake him up, he might have to stay outside the door for a long time as a mother-in-law and entangled coward.
Of course, Shen Ji would never tell Lin Guo about these subtle and unspeakable thoughts.
Like he'd never say how his heart was filled with sour, thankful joy after seeing the room lit up for him in the middle of the night.
"Why don't you know how to cherish yourself so much?" There was no clean veil in the room, looking at the young man dripping like a soaked chicken, Shen Ji simply put his hand on the other's head, and his inner strength was transferred with a change of mind.
The warm heat came from the Baihui acupoint, Lin Guo shivered comfortably, and involuntarily wanted to rub against the opponent.
"Don't make trouble, your body is dirty." Reluctantly pushing the person away with his fingers, Shen Ji looked at the other's half dry hair and withdrew his palm, "Where are Baoqin and the others? Why aren't any of them here?"
"Used a little trick to drive them away," the young man lowered his head, not daring to look into the man's eyes, fluttering his eyelashes, and whispered, "Not everyone has the qualifications and obligation to die for their husband. In the entire Shen Garden, I am the only one with this qualification and obligation."
"So don't blame them, sir?" Shaking the man's palm hanging by his side, the young man shook his body pitifully, "Yao'er is so cold, shall we go to the hot spring?"
Because the hot springs in Shen Yuan are all running water, Shen Ji sent someone to bring one of them into the bath room, so even if the servants are not here now, the two of them can take a hot bath safely in this pouring rainy night .
It only took a second to think about which is more important, training people or taking a bath together, and Shen Ji unprincipledly took clean clothes and led people to the bathroom.
Because the road leading to the bathroom was covered with a corridor, the two of them didn't bother to open an umbrella anymore, holding the boy's still cold little hand, Shen Ji quietly sent a little internal energy to him, only feeling that his own body was drifting away. The heart that has been waiting for nearly 30 years has finally found a stable home.
When the sun rises tomorrow, the group of people who hurt his mother will get their due punishment, and when those bad pasts are all over, he can give the boy a complete heart.
"Did my husband ever tell you that you are amazing?" Raising his eyebrows, the drenched man still smiled unmatchedly. "In the next 20 years of my life, the luckiest thing is to meet you."
The candlelight was flickering, and Lin Guo, who was holding a lantern in his hand, was dazzled by the man's familiar smile. Across the noisy rain outside the corridor, he could hear his "thumping" accelerated heartbeat.
What to do, it seems that no matter how he changes his appearance and identity, he will always be moved by the same man uncontrollably.
The "seven-year itch" that he talked about at the beginning seems to be so far away that it will never come.
