Hold On, General

35. Fate

Zenan built the capital of Jianye, guarding the mouth of the Yangtze River, and its commerce is very powerful. Xiang Honghui came to Shenghua this time to discuss customs duties and other issues with the emperor of Shenghua in addition to celebrating Empress Drowger’s birthday. He knew that Shenghua attached great importance to this, so when he heard in the hall that this person invited him into the palace, he could guess what he was going to talk about.

The two talked as they walked. The royal garden was blooming with precious flowers, and there was a bend of clear water not far away. You could see the sparkling light when you glanced up. It covers a large area, and there is a small pavilion built a short distance away. The pavilion they sat in last time was located in the forest, and this time they are going to the clear water.

The wooden corridor twists and turns, extending to the middle of the lake, Long Juntian walked side by side with him, with a comfortable smile on his face and very approachable.

Xiang Honghui looked at it secretly, and couldn’t help but think that this person had been named the prince before he ascended the throne. The princes of the same period did nothing. This person followed his father to govern the dynasty. There is a kind and favoured mother and a lovely younger brother. Childhood should be very happy. Perhaps it is because of this that the smile can be free of impurities, but since he has ascended to this seat, he must have experienced a lot of blood.

So no matter how warm this person’s smile is, it won’t let him let his guard down.

Long Juntian could perceive his gaze, didn’t care, and continued to discuss tariffs with him gently.

Xiang Honghui listened quietly. At this time, the two of them had already walked to the water corridor, and the wooden floor occasionally made a dull squeak when they stepped on it. He took a step forward and suddenly felt empty under his feet. A slight click and the voice of this person clearly came from his ears.

“Prince, be careful!”

Xiang Honghui knew that the wooden board under his feet was cracked between the electro-optical flint, so he would not fall in, but his body would tilt to one side uncontrollably.

Long Juntian’s eyes were quick and his hands were quick. He put his arms around his waist and helped him stabilize his body. This person leaned into his arms. It was just an instant, but it was enough for him to bow his head and take a deep breath at his neck. The unique fragrance invaded his chest cavity, and his mind suddenly swayed.

After he hugged him, he quickly let go, with just the right worry in his eyes: “Is the prince okay?”

Xiang Honghui only staggered slightly, and there was no panic in his eyes. He stood still with a smile at the corner of his mouth: “It’s okay.” He lowered his head, and the cracks in the depression were dark, indicating that it was in disrepair, but… His peach blossom eyes narrowed, and the surrounding wood planks were all good, but this one was broken, and this wood was still a little different from the surrounding colour.……

He understood after thinking about it for a while, only to feel that his luck was too “good” and wasted the thoughts of others in vain.

Long Juntian looked down and frowned: “What’s going on? Do I raise you for free meals? Don’t know how to repair things if they are broken? Hmm?”

The little eunuch behind him hurriedly stepped forward: “Your Majesty calm down, the minion will send someone to repair it, and by the way, the eunuch in charge will also be called.”

“No need to scream,” Long Juntian said, “Let him get twenty boards and be punished for one month.”

“Yes.”

Long Juntian looked at Xiang Honghui and said apologetically: “It was the carelessness of the minions below that shocked the prince.”

“Your Majesty doesn’t have to worry about it.” Xiang Honghui smiled, thinking to himself that this person didn’t feel anything wrong. Is it really the emperor who did it too smoothly? He continued to walk forward, and couldn’t help but think that this person could reach out and help him at the moment just now, how could he suddenly hug him? He observed in secret and saw that his expression was the same, so he only regarded him as a subconscious action.

Long Juntian got a cheap deal and was in a good mood. He walked into the pavilion with him. The two set the tariffs between the two countries and had a brief chat. Long Juntian got up and walked to the railing. The fish in the lake seemed to be used to being fed. When he noticed someone approaching, he took the initiative to swim over. He squeezed some bait next to him and sprinkled it casually.

It is built in the lake, with sweeping views of the surrounding scenery. The light wind slowly blows into the pavilion, accompanied by the shallow sound of the fish, which is refreshing. Xiang Honghui listened quietly for a while and couldn’t help squinting comfortably. He has lived a life of intrigue since he was a child. Rarely is there such a peaceful time. The feeling of this Shenghua Emperor is really strange.

Long Juntian glanced at him with a warm smile in his eyes but did not speak.

Xiang Honghui enjoyed a rare period of tranquillity. He tilted his head slightly. A group of people were walking slowly here not far away. The leader was wearing a Chinese suit and was dazzling. His peach blossom eyes narrowed. The emperor just arrived and this person can’t wait to come, so it seems…He got up with a smile and retired.

Long Juntian secretly said it was a pity, so he had to watch him go far. He sat down on the stone stool again, took the opposite glass as usual, filled a glass of wine, and took a shallow sip. The man gradually walked away, and the figure quickly disappeared from sight. The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the person will leave after that. I have to think of a way to keep the person.

He turned his gaze, looked at Concubine Rong who was getting closer and closer, and ordered: “Go and tell her that I want to stay for a while, oh, by the way, just pick a few things to send to her and say that I rewarded it. Although she prepared the trap for herself, it was used in the right place.”

“Yes.”

Long Juntian looked at his hand and remembered the fragrance just now, and the light in his eyes couldn’t help but deepen.

“Xiang Honghui,” he turned his wine glass and meditated softly. The fish were still rushing for food, stirring the water softly. The corners of his mouth slowly raised a smile, and the sound of the tail gently melted into the sound of the water, “…Xiang Honghui.”

Genius Long knew that he was going back to the palace today. Although he was reluctant, he slowly rubbed back: “Xiao Yun Xian, don’t you really go back to live with your brother for a few days?”

“No,” Yun Xian didn’t want to say, “I don’t think it’s safe anywhere except Zhan Ling Yan.”

Genius Long looked at him contemptuously: “Are you so afraid of that monster?”

“Brother,” Yun Xian said with a serious expression, “If you are targeted by him, you are also afraid.”

Genius Long blinked, thinking about the number of segments of the demon, and secretly said that he might not be much better.

A group of people walked slowly on the streets of the capital, only to hear a little cry from the front, extremely miserable: “Iniquity, which one of you killed a thousand swords did this to you! Look at this thin one!”

They looked up, and there were a few people in front of them carrying one person. The person’s clothes were in tatters. He would definitely be regarded as a beggar when he walked on the road. Seeing that he was about to pass them by, the person still had a little consciousness. He glanced at the people around him lightly, then suddenly stared and shook his hands: “You…you…”

Genius Long and Yun Xian blinked together.

“You……you……”

“Kuan’er,” the beautiful lady stepped forward crying, “What’s the matter, Kuan’er?”

The popular man couldn’t say everything. He was extremely weak. At this moment, his blood was churning, his eyes rolled and he fainted.

“Kuan’er? Kuan’er?” The woman cried twice and turned her head to look at the two people accused, Genius Long blinked, suddenly looked at Yun Xian, and said reproachfully: “Look, I told you not to come out. Now you’ve knocked out another one, right?”

“…” Yun Xian said sincerely, “I’m sorry, I’m guilty.””

“…” The woman said suspiciously, “Kuan’er refers to you.”

Genius Long said: “…then I am also guilty.”

General Gu was silent for a while, then stepped forward and pulled Genius Long: “Go, take you to the official.”

“Hmm!” The two immediately nodded obediently and followed.

The woman: “……”

As they quickly walked away, General Gu asked in a soft voice: “Do you have a problem?”

Yun Xian twitched the corner of his mouth and endured: “Brother, converge your expression.”

“No,” Genius Long laughed, “Why did I forget about this, five thousand taels of silver, oh hahaha~”

General Gu was surprised: “What’s the matter?”

“Oh, we saved a fat man on the road, and he promised to give us five thousand taels.” Genius Long said the matter briefly, and General Gu was silent when he thought about the thin man. It’s no wonder that the man fainted when he saw them.

The bill was put in the luggage, and the luggage was in the palace. Genius Long kicked Yun Xian with his feet and hurriedly returned to the palace with facial paralysis, but when he returned, he learned that his eldest brother was looking for him, so he had to order facial paralysis to find the bill, and he followed the little eunuch away.

Long Juntian was in the study at this time. When he saw him, he smiled immediately. He looked at the marks on his neck, his face remained silent and beckoned: “Haohao is back. What did the princess say?”

“Opened a prescription and asked me to come back for a drink.” Genius Long said and walked over obediently.

Long Juntian took him into his arms and rubbed him, and said with a smile: “Let people boil the medicine for a while and drink it on time.”

Genius Long nodded and asked, “Brother, what are you looking for me?”

“Well, it’s time to deal with those people you sent back.”

Genius Long clapped his hands: “Oh, not to mention that I almost forgot, brother, they are going to kidnap Xiao Yun Xian. I already recognize him as my younger brother. How do you think those people should be judged?”

“Oh, brother?” Long Juntian said with a smile, “That would be a great crime. Tell me what’s going on between you and that Yun Xian.”

Genius Long heard that he used “I” instead of “I”, and secretly said that this person really hurt Xiao Wang Ye before, and he didn’t put the emperor’s shelf at all. He straightened out his thoughts and said slowly.

Long Juntian listened quietly. He called Haohao to understand Yun Xian’s affairs. When he heard this, he said, “Then what happened to him and the princes of Gushu and Zenan?”

“I don’t know the details, I only know about it.” Genius Long said everything he knew and tilted his head to look at his eldest brother.

Long Juntian’s expression did not change at all, and he smiled and asked, “Love Gu?”

“Yeah, Xiao Yun Xian is miserable.”

Long Juntian smiled and said, “Since he is your younger brother and my younger brother, Yun Xian has also done a great job this time. I issued a decree to directly seal him as a prince, and treat him well in the future.”

Genius Long was shocked, how could the prince with a different surname say that he was sealed? Even if Yun Xian made great achievements, he didn’t reach the point of being crowned king. Long Juntian looked at him with a smile: “What does Haohao think is the purpose of my doing this?”

Genius Long frowned and observed for a while. He saw that this person was not deliberately tempted, so he had to say: “Zhan Ling Yan wants to marry Yun Xian. Now, brother calls him the prince. Yun Xian is from Shenghua. Then Zhan Ling Yan has to come and discuss with brother if he wants to marry him, right?”

Long Juntian rubbed his head: “Smart.”

Genius Long squinted his eyes suddenly: “Brother, knock him hard and let him pay more for the bride price.”

Long Juntian responded with a smile and let him go. He watched the person go away and smiled playfully: “–Gu.”

Xiao Wang Ye ran towards the palace, pinching the bill and laughing wildly, but he had no chance to leave the palace recently, so he had to stay honest and wait for the next time he went out to ask for money.

In the past few days, General Gu tried all kinds of methods to find the people he could find in the palace but still did not find the three of them. He pondered for a moment, and a terrible thought suddenly surged in his heart, and he was so shocked that he fell into a cold sweat in an instant.

Those three…shouldn’t they all be concubines of the harem?

He recalled Xiao Wang Ye’s sleep talk that day, and secretly speculated from the words that they should have been having an affair… His cold sweat broke out again, causing chaos in the palace. Even if the emperor petted Xiao Wang Ye, he would never tolerate his brother sleeping with his own woman.

Genius Long stayed bored in the palace, but his eldest brother had to let facial paralysis drag him around. He sighed: “Facial paralysis, can’t we really go to the harem for a walk?”

“…” General Gu took a deep breath and turned his head to look at him silently, his pupils trembling. Wang Ye, are you going to catch up with your old feelings?

Genius Long took a big step back abruptly: “What are you doing looking at me like this?”

“…Wang Ye,” General Gu trembled, “Let’s get married.”

“…let’s dream!”

“Wang Ye, some things can’t be changed. This is fate. You’d better give up,” General Gu patiently persuaded, hoping that this person would want to open up a little bit, and said again, “Let’s get married. I will treat you well in the future.”

Damn it, dare to say that it is my fate to marry you?! Genius Long was angry: “I won’t!”

“Wang Ye, I’ll give you the money.”

“…” Genius Long blinked, “How much do you give?”

“I will give you all my money.”

Genius Long thought for a while and secretly said that he was a prince and he shouldn’t be poor. It’s not worth putting himself in for the money… He rubbed his chin: “You first pay back the money from the previous few times, I’ll think about it.”

General Gu was silent for a moment: “Wang Ye, as long as you marry, I will pay it back immediately.”

“……”

“…Wang Ye?”

Genius Long ignored him, stopped complaining turned to go, decided to go back to sleep, and he woke up in the evening, then from the Mid-Autumn Festival just two days, the moon gradually become round, he stood in the bed chamber doorway watching for a while, Ahhh: “the long night, too, did not a woman accompanied by……”

Before he finished speaking, General Gu came out, his pupils trembling again. This person was facing the direction of the harem. He was so shocked that he hurriedly hugged him in his arms, dragged him into the room regardless, and whispered: “Use what you said, sometimes it’s better to see each other than not to see each other.”

“…” The corner of Genius Long’s mouth twitched, “Who are you talking about? Xiao Yun Xian?”

General Gu didn’t break through and pulled him in. The eunuchs in the room saw them hugging each other, and hurriedly retreated, not forgetting to close the door thoughtfully. There were only two of them left in the room for a while, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little ambiguous.

After eating this kind of thing once, there will be a second time. Genius Long keenly noticed the heavier breathing behind him, frowned and turned his head: “I’m telling you facial paralysis…Um…”

General Gu bowed his head and kissed, his heart was very confused, and after a kiss, he whispered: “You and the computer…”

“Computer?” Genius Long was suddenly surprised.

“Well, you called her name in your sleep one night.”

“Is there?” Genius Long blinked, then sighed, “I and the computer are destined to have nothing to do in this world.”

General Gu breathed an instant sigh of relief: “Just understand.”

“……what?” Genius Long suddenly felt something weird. General Gu didn’t answer. His hand had already untied the man’s belt, so he leaned in and stroked it slowly through the thin clothing.

Genius Long gasped, feeling that he was going to be hard, hurriedly pressed his iniquity hand, and said angrily: “What do you touch? Let me tell you, don’t touch it if you don’t give money this time!”

“……”

“Do you hear me?！”

General Gu was silent for a moment, and said indifferently: “Then you can touch me, I won’t charge you money.”

“……!！！”

Small theater~~~

On a certain day of a certain year, a certain month, the wretched teacher came home from get off work, carrying the vegetables and a few things he bought: “Xiaoxiao~ I’m back~”

Qin Yun Xian sat on the sofa and watched TV as usual.

The wretched teacher rubbed over flatteringly: “Xiaoxiao, I bought you a lot of things, do you want to see them?”

Yun Xian was indifferent, not squinting.

The wretched teacher put the things away, took out the toy car and turned on the switch, and the car slowly drove over to the coffee table: “Xiaoxiao, look~”

“……”

The wretched teacher bit his finger and thought for a while: “It’s okay, I still have it.” He took out a pink pig and wound it up, and the pig crawled over the coffee table “humming”.

“……”

“Xiaoxiao?”

“……”

“It’s okay, I still have it!” The wretched teacher took out the rattle, “Look~ The doctor said this can help you remember your childhood. Let’s come a little bit since we were young and see ~Is it fun~ Can you remember anything?”

“……”

The wretched teacher collapsed on his shoulders and silently carried the rest of the things to the kitchen.

Yun Xian’s pupils suddenly moved.

The wretched teacher stopped abruptly, shook the things in his hand, saw that the person’s pupils moved slightly again, and took out happily: “Xiaoxiao, this is a carrot~ look~”

“……”

The wretched teacher thought for a while, took out a cucumber and shook it.

“……”

Vegetables, eggs, ribs

“……”

The wretched teacher looked down, and there was only one thing left. He had a hobby of collecting. The knife in the study was on the shelf. He happened to go to the store that day and bought a Tang knife that he liked. He picked it up silently.

Yun Xian’s gaze really turned over there.

The wretched teacher brushed it away a little, and the blade was sharp.

Yun Xian’s eyes brightened.

“Xiaoxiao~~” The teacher handed it over with a gift, “If you want~ if you want~”

Yun Xian lowered his head, was silent for a long time, and hesitated to reach out.

The teacher suddenly retracted, excited, and tears filled his eyes, this person finally reacted, hey! He trembled all over, trying to get this person to speak, but he was used to being abused these days, and he said: “If you punch me, I’ll give it…Ow…”

Lie flat, straight

Yun Xian indifferently stopped, picked up the Tang knife, brushed it out, looked back and forth, closed the sheath with satisfaction, and sat down to watch TV again in his arms.

The wretched teacher’s eyes were blue, staring at the ceiling: “The stars…”

“……”

“Woohoo… I can’t live this day anymore…”

“……”
