cold moon is king

After leaving the mansion, the outside is covered in silver, and the roofs and roads are covered with endless white. Occasionally, a few people who stayed in the border town hurried past, carrying vegetable baskets, throwing them at the soldiers standing upright at the door from time to time. With curious eyes, the patrolling soldiers outside the mansion were already waiting. They were surprised for a moment when they saw the prince and Chu Jiangli coming out together. The fat man from the butcher's shop was also on patrol.

This was arranged by the prince. Everyone knew it well, and Chu Jiangli had heard about it. After all, these people were talking about it. Although they were not dissatisfied with the prince's arrangement, after all, the fat man came in at the same rank as them. Even so, Chu Jiangli couldn't help but look sideways at the fat man, he wanted to know that this man could win Lu Jinyin's favor with his own abilities.

The fat man only knew those from the Lou family, and he was fascinated when he saw such a beautiful person as Chu Jiangli. When he met his gaze, Chu Jiangli subconsciously touched his face, and then remembered that he didn't wear it today. mask.

Lu Jinyin noticed the fat man's gaze, and pressed Chu Jiangli's hood down calmly. The fat man smiled sheepishly and looked away. He didn't know Lu Jinyin's real identity yet. He only thought that Lu Jinyin was a high-ranking official from the capital, and Lu Jinyin and Chu Jiangli looked close. He rarely heard about those anecdotes in the capital, and he was not surprised by their intimacy. The same was true for him and his brothers. .

Lu Jinyin and Chu Jiangli walked side by side at the front. Their hands were tightly held together and they never let go. The other soldiers quickly looked away when they saw each other, watching their noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, nose, nose, heart, and heart. The fat man didn't understand this. Yuan, smiled and said to the people beside him: "The relationship between the two adults is really good."

The lieutenant blinked, and hehe laughed irrefutably.

The hand of the person in front was clenched again, the warm palm wrapped around his hand that was already getting cold, Chu Jiangli's ears burned again, he was glad that he was wearing a hood, and the subordinates behind him couldn't see him The ears were on fire, and the man insisted on teasing him, "Gu Chengan said that Gu's health is not good, why are your hands colder than Gu's?"

Chu Jiangli coughed in embarrassment, his eyes quickly flew away after meeting Shanglu Jinyin's teasing black pupils, "I have been like this since I was a child, and I am born with a cold body."

Hearing his cough, Lu Jinyin leaned slightly to look at his face under the hood, and heaved a sigh of relief when he found nothing unusual. Chu Jiangli lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, I'm fine, but Your Highness," he suddenly After a pause, thinking of something, his expression changed, and he said, "Have you taken the medicine today, Your Highness?"

Lu Jinyin's throat choked up, and he was immediately speechless. Seeing that he was silent, Chu Jiangli didn't force him. He just thought that his guilty look was very cute. He suppressed the smile on his lips and pretended to be serious: "Your Highness, let's have breakfast later."

Chu Jiangli is beautiful, this is something everyone who has seen his face must admit, the hood covers most of his face, the dots of snow fall on his face, the evil spirit of the past dissipated in the gentle winter day, The tenderness of the eyebrows and eyes turned into water, and the eyes looked with a smile, the lips were slightly pursed, and the face was even whiter in the white world, almost blending with the snow-colored background.

Being looked at by his sweetheart like this would make anyone feel weak. Lu Jinyin's breath stopped, and he subconsciously looked back. The soldiers behind him looked at him blankly. He hastily pushed Chu Jiangli's hood down even lower. Almost blocking Chu Jiangli's line of sight, he coughed lightly, "It's cold, don't freeze."

After walking for a long time, everything in the city was as usual, deserted and deserted, which was quite different from the prosperity of the capital. Even when the Spring Festival was approaching, there were few people on the streets. Apart from these soldiers, there were not many ordinary people left in the city. The Spring Festival couplets were pasted up, and the bright red paper was splashed with ink, and the best wishes for the coming year were engraved stroke by stroke. Lu Jinyin only saw the Spring Festival couplets and remembered that it was almost New Year's Eve.

He held Chu Jiangli's hand and said, "When are you leaving?"

Chu Jiangli looked past the Spring Festival couplets and said in a low voice, "In a few days."

"A year ago or a year later?"

"Years ago."

It's not fashionable for Louma to celebrate the Spring Festival. Their festival passed at the end of the previous year. This is also the reason why they were stable and stable during this period. It's not very nice to say, but they did lose in this battle The Louma people are not only brave and good at fighting, but also like to study firearms. They are completely different from the stability-loving Daxia people. Their firearms are extremely lethal, which can make

Several people where the cannon stone landed lost their limbs and arms, and even died. However, their firearms also have disadvantages, and they can always injure themselves a few times so unfortunately.

Chu Jiangli had never seen this kind of novelty before, and it was Yin He who was well-informed and mentioned it to him, so he took precautions against it and worked out some ways to deal with it. I heard that this thing was Da Xia. What was passed on was that Lou Ma made a little use of it to make a device to hurt people. Chu Jiangli thought, since they can make it, Da Xia can also make it.

Yin He also agreed with Chu Jiangli's idea, and offered to study it with a smile. He hid in his room with the unexploded cannon stones that fell from the battlefield. Although Chu Jiangli doubted that his words were true or false, But he still went with him. As a result, during these days, Yin He did not leave the seclusion. Even Lu Jinyin had been here for a long time, and Yin He had never seen Lu Jinyin.

Chu Jiangli approached Lu Jinyin to find out about Yin He's origin. If he guessed correctly, Yin He is also Lu Jinyin's person. Lu Jinyin also frankly admitted that he has some relationship with Yin He, but he doesn't know Yin He's origin. Even they have never met, only Shi Xing and Yin He have met.

They were about to reach the north city gate, and there was the clattering of hooves behind them. Lu Jinyin turned around first, and saw a man galloping towards here with the reins in his hands. Yes, wearing only a crumpled and thin coat, his already pale face was faintly blue from the cold.

The man squinted his eyes and took a determined look at Lu Jinyin. He reined in the horse so that he could not see it, and stuffed the reins into the hands of the soldiers beside him. He frowned, and looked him up and down, but he didn't recognize him at first glance. When did Yin He dress up in such a poor way?

Yin He's exhaled breath turned into white mist and flew upwards, shivering from the cold, "General Chu, warm me up quickly."

He saw it right, and put his hand directly into Chu Jiangli's cloak. Lu Jinyin quickly pulled Chu Jiangli away, grabbed Yin He's hand, and said in a deep voice: "If you want to be warm, why don't you go back to the house and add something?" Clothes? My wife is weak, so I can't keep you warm."

Chu Jiangli was stunned, his face was burning, he pursed his lips, waves of heat rushed all over him, the palms of his hands gradually became hot, and in a trance, everyone's burning eyes were glued to him, Yin He raised his eyebrows, and looked at Lu Jinyin carefully, and the corners of his high lips collapsed, he straightened his expression, and his eyes flickered: "So it's Your Highness, the grass-roots Yin He is rude."

Lu Jinyin looked at Yin He with a cold face, and his whole body was in front of Chu Jiangli. Yin He's eyes wandered around the two of them with interest, and then retracted them after a while, "General Chu, some It’s better to talk to you alone.”

Chu Jiangli knew what he was going to talk about when he came out, so he came out from behind Lu Jinyin, nodded and said, "I'm not in a hurry, we'll talk about it when we go back."

Lu Jinyin's stern eyebrows and eyes relaxed for a moment, only to see that Yin He smiled profligately with the corners of his lips curled up, his gentle face was filled with that provocative smile, what an abominable expression, Lu Jinyin's face was so Sternly, without saying a word, he shot Yin Hefei with his eyes. He hadn't been with Yueming for nearly half a year. This man didn't seem surprised by Yueming's appearance, so he guessed that he had seen it before, and he could see Yueming's mask If you look at his true face, then this person must be very close to Yueming.

Thinking of this, it was difficult for him to control the sour smell bubbling from his chest. He suppressed his annoyance towards Yin He, and said politely, "I want to have a drink with Mr. Yin to thank you for the past six months." Come take care of Yueming."

In the words, he took an oath of sovereignty, put his hand on Chu Jiangli's shoulders forcefully, brought people under his wings, and would never tolerate anyone's coveting of Chu Jiangli.

Chu Jiangli had already sensed the atmosphere of their rivalry, and looked at the two of them inexplicably. Aren't the two of them the same way?

Yin He also laughed, "Ah, it's better to hit the sun than to choose a day, let's do it tonight. In a few days, Caomin will go out with General Chu, and I'm afraid there will be no time to have a drink."

Lu Jinyin's complexion changed slightly, and he looked at Chu Jiangli subconsciously, and Chu Jiangli also looked at him, the meaning in his eyes was not very obvious, wasn't all this his own arrangement, and put an eyeliner to keep an eye on Chu Jiangli all the time .

Now Lu Jinyin regrets that at the beginning, he said to let a reliable person take care of Chu Jiangli, but now it is good, he took care of Chu Jiangli, and he remembered Shi Xing's unscrupulous way

He couldn't get angry when he said the words, and now he can only respond with gritted teeth: "Okay, okay, okay."

Yin He smiled and nodded and went. Before he went, he touched the captain's cotton coat. The name was that he was afraid that the captain would be bored, and the captain was afraid of being entangled by him. A man with poisonous water cannot be offended.

After patrolling the whole city, Chu Jiangli sent someone to boil ginger tea and deliver it to all the soldiers when he returned to the mansion. He watched Lu Jinyin take the medicine after breakfast before going to the study to watch Lou Sheng quarrel with Shi Xing.

He didn't even have to enter the door of the study room to hear a crackling noise inside, anything can be used as a weapon for the opponent, Lou Cheng wished he could strangle this man who always refuted his views, Shi Xing once again just wanted to see if you could still The sober posture of saying so many stupid things really deserves a beating.

In the past, Chu Jiangli had fought with Shi Xing several times, but he had never been so fierce. He also saw that Shi Xing was deliberately annoying Lou Sheng. Every time they got together, he could only pull one person away and call it off. .

Today is the same as in the past, there was a lot of noise inside, but he still brought a person over, Yin He followed behind him, with a smile that seemed to have nothing on his face, and tentatively said: "The relationship between the general and His Highness is really enviable. .”

Chu Jiangli was startled, but then he came to his senses and let out an inexplicable ah. His noncommittal attitude made Yin He unable to figure out what Jiang Li was thinking. He thought that these two people were not as simple as they seemed.

The room was full of quarrels, and the cannon stone that Yin He was holding suddenly became hot. He swallowed, "Let the people outside hold this, and don't send it in. It's not good if something happens."

Chu Jiangli glanced at the black ball that was about the size of a palm, "Why is it so big? The Louma people make ones as big as Cuju."

Yin He waved his hand, "Almost, almost, it's done for the first time, and it will be improved in the future."

Before the door could be knocked, he came directly facing the people, but Chu Jiangli was able to dodge in time with his agility, otherwise the door would have slapped him in the face. After he paused, he saw the tall man coming out aggressively, leading With the heating all over his body, his face was flushed, and his hands were still holding the tower that should have been on the sand table.

Seeing Chu Jiangli approaching, the man turned pale, lowered his voice and gritted his teeth, and said, "Is your Highness not used to seeing me? Why did you bring such a doggy thing here to annoy me?"

"Yueming, you're here." Shi Xing came out of the house with his hands behind him, very leisurely, wearing only a thin coarse cloth robe in this weather, he took a few glances at Lou Cheng and sneered, " I finally don't have to talk to this donkey thing, I can't tell him."

Lou Cheng rolled up his sleeves and went up, the veins on his arms were bulging, his eyes were wide open, he looked like he was going to heal Shi Xing, Chu Jiangli stretched out his hand and grabbed Lou Cheng's collar and pulled him hard. Pulling it back, he sighed helplessly, "You can beat him to death with one punch."

Shi Xing was embarrassed for a moment, coughed in disguise, and his eyes fell on Yin He. He looked at Yin He suspiciously for a while, and then said: "Yu Fei?"

Yin He tucked the hair that was blocking his forehead behind his ears artificially, showing his gentle and clean eyebrows, but his eyes were slightly black and blue, and he could still see the hardships of his days, "Ah, Yuanhan, it's been a long time not see."

It is rare for Yin He to look so poor without any attire. He is wearing a silver cloak, and inside is a thin outer robe that reveals his pale complexion. Peacock is the same guy, but Yin He is more unscrupulous than Bailifei. Bailifei just likes to dress up, but Yin He is not only good at dressing up, but also acts slutty. He uses his good face to pick flowers a lot.

He also thought about whether putting Yin He by Chu Jiangli's side was a good thing. He glanced at Chu Jiangli's expressionless face and the hostility on his eyebrows, and then saw Yin He With an honest appearance, I still worry too much in my heart.

Yin He carefully held a black ball, the corners of his lips were tight, completely different from his usual inconspicuous appearance, this aroused Shi Xing's curiosity, he had never seen this thing before, and he also knew that Yin He used to Wandering around, well-informed, not only likes but also studies these novelties, this is one of the reasons why he put Yin He by Chu Jiangli's side.

He had heard that there were far more novelties in Louma than in Daxia.

"What is this?" Lou Sheng couldn't bear curiosity and spoke first.

Yin He greeted them into the house mysteriously, the door was opened, the soldiers in the yard were dispersed outside, and the courtyard door was tightly closed, and now there were only a few of them left. Yin He released the black ball In Lou Sheng's palm, he said with a smile, "Hold it, maybe it will explode."

Lou Sheng's face froze, and only then did he realize what the black ball was. He couldn't believe it: "Did you make Lou Ma's cannon?"

Yin He rubbed his cold palms, "I'm not sure yet, I have to try."

The black ball was wrapped with a layer of black hemp rope, and it was heavy and heavy. It was different from those shells that Lou Cheng had seen in the past. Yin He lowered his voice mysteriously, "I also added some Good stuff, but I don’t know what to use to try the effect.”

Lou Sheng paused, "Catch a rabbit?"

"The rabbit is too light, no way."

Yin He added: "And the dead animal cannot be eaten again."

Lou Cheng licked his lips, thinking of the white money and the oily barbecue, his face was filled with reluctance, "Then, let's go buy a pig."

Lou Sheng emphasized: "Buy a smaller one, one hundred catties will do."

***

In the middle of the night, the moon is pressing down on the branches, the yard is covered with vast white snow, and the snow has stopped at night. There are several jars of wine on the stone table in the center of the yard, and the four of them sit facing each other. The moonlight is colder than the snow, and it is printed in Chu In Jiang Li's deep black eyes, his whole body softened inexplicably, his eyes fixed on Lu Jinyin's side face, listening to Lu Jinyin and Yin He's verbal battle, there was a tender smile on the corner of his lips.

Shi Xing couldn't help taking a few more glances at Chu Jiangli at this moment. He and Chu Jiangli were too familiar. He had never seen Chu Jiangli like this before. Li Jiu, Chu Jiangli had been listening to the bickering between the two just now, and he forgot that he had been greedy for wine for a long time, bent his knuckles, gently twisted the wine glass and poured it into his mouth.

The strong aroma of the wine exploded on the tip of his tongue, and the pungent taste rushed to his head. His hairs all exploded. He brewed it for a while. He drank too fast just now and didn't taste the taste. He glanced at Shi Xing , his eyes moved, and he pointed at the empty wine glass. With a sullen smile, Shi Xing picked up the wine jar and poured another glass into his glass.

The other three people are wine bowls, but Chu Jiangli is a small wine glass, the little finger is high, and the mouth of the glass is only the size of a finger circle. A glass can hold half a sip of wine at most, who can ask for it, who can do this Apart from Lu Jinyin, there is no one else in charge of someone like Chu Jiangli.

Chu Jiangli glanced between the two of them, and seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he took the opportunity to twist the glass with his fingers and loosen it to his lips. Before reaching his lips, a hand cut him off. Lu Jin Yin glanced at him, the meaning couldn't be more obvious, and caught him. Lu Jinyin's voice was very cold, a bit colder than this severe winter, "How many drinks did you steal?"

Chu Jiangli's eyes fell on the intercepted wine glass, and he looked at it for a long time, watching the wine poured into Lu Jinyin's stomach, before saying in a sense of loss, "This is the first glass."

He sighed softly and emphasized: "I didn't even drink a glass."

As a general, he is too pitiful. Drinking is controlled by people. Drinking in winter can warm up the body. He explained that he was rejected, and he was stipulated that he can only drink three cups. But now he is also committing an old problem. It was cold and clammy, and the cold wind made his old wounds ache. After drinking, those wounds were itchy and painful, accompanied by unbearable headaches, so he also tried to control and drink very little.

Lu Jinyin raised his eyebrows, and turned his handsome face to Chu Jiangli. Chu Jiangli pursed his lips lightly, and said without changing his expression, "Really."

The deep brows and eyes contained explicit feelings, seeing Chu Jiangli avoiding this gaze, his heart was beating like thunder, ringing wildly in his ears, Yin He and Shi Xing turned aside winkingly when they saw this, and the two started chatting, Their greetings sounded together with their heartbeats, and Lu Jinyin's gaze was still burning on his face.

"Really?"

Chu Jiang said goodbye, "Really."

"I don't believe it."

A hand suddenly stretched out, Chu Jiangli was startled, and his jaw was clamped. If he really wanted to break free, it was natural, but Lu Jinyin's body leaned over, with bursts of saponin scent and warm body temperature.

"Let the lonely hear it."

Thumb caressing his lips,

Pressing down lightly, his lips parted a little, revealing a little white teeth inside, he clenched his teeth nervously, his eyes kept on looking at those two, Yin He's eyes suddenly met his On the other hand, he smiled inexplicably when he saw Yin He, which made his face steam up.

The warm breath swirled on his face, intertwined with his, too close.

He swallowed with difficulty, and finally couldn't help but want to break free from Lu Jinyin's shackles, his soft lips gently rubbed against the corner of his lips, his breathing was stagnant, and he didn't know whether Lu Jinyin was on purpose or not, he panicked Stepping back, he held on to the table to stabilize his body.

Lu Jinyin seemed to have been tricked by him, and nodded seriously, "It's true that I didn't drink."

He breathed a sigh of relief, and heard Lu Jinyin say again: "But you can only have one drink."

"This is the consequence of stealing."
