The General Is As Urgent As Law

Cen Lizhen went to bed early, there were a lot of things going on in the barracks, and Jiang didn't leave the camp again. After Cen Lizhen fell asleep, he sat on the ground and fell asleep leaning against the edge of the couch.

That night he actually dreamed of Wei Lin again, but it was a dream of what happened in the past.

The dream started from the day when Wei Lin was having trouble with him in the city before he left, the two of them were listening to books in a teahouse.Said it was a dream, but it was more like reminiscing the memories of that day in sleep.Wei Lin's serious face while listening to the book, and the warmth of his palm when he was holding his hand and walking around.Then it was inevitable to dream that they were entangled with each other, and dreamed that Wei Lin rode away heroically on the horse.

And when he turned his head, he seemed to say something to himself from a long distance away.

Jiang couldn't hear what Wei Lin said that day, or whether Wei Lin had spoken, he couldn't be sure.Similarly, Wei Lin must not know what Jiang also said.

But Jiang also knew it himself. He looked at the back that was about to go away that day, and he tried to say a few words.It's just that the distance was too far, and he knew that Wei Lin couldn't hear him, so the words became a soliloquy.

He said: Don't go.

"Don't go." Jiang also read aloud in his sleep, and he woke up when he heard his own voice.

He opened his eyes, and there was a faint candlelight in front of him.While the candlelight was beating, it seemed that Wei Lin was right in front of him.But even more sober, Jiang knew that it was just a momentary hallucination.Jiang couldn't help but feel a little lost, but before he was lost for a long time, he noticed some strange humming noises around him.

It was like the whimpering sound of a small animal begging for mercy when it was captured by a natural enemy. Listen carefully to the sound mixed with shortness of breath and a little bit of crying.

Jiang also got up from the ground, followed the sound and saw that Cen Lizhen on the couch was sleeping soundly with his eyes closed, but his small body was curled up together. The sound came from Cen Lizhen.

Jiang Yexin said that maybe he was having a nightmare, after all, he was still a young boy, and this situation was normal.

Just when he was about to sit down on the floor and sleep again, Cen Lixuan's voice suddenly became louder.He was crying, yelling something indistinctly.Jiang also moved closer and wanted to listen, but unfortunately he couldn't understand.

This scene is really rare, but Jiang has seen it before—when he was a teenager, every time Jiang Fang woke up from a nightmare, he would run to his room and knock on the door while hugging his pillow, and then gave him a hand without saying a word. hug him.

At that time, Jiang Fang was much younger than Cen Lijun in front of him. Every time this happened, Jiang would take Jiang Fang to his couch to sleep together, propping his head with one hand, and gently patting Jiang Fang's back with the other hand until Jiang Mian calmed down and fell asleep next to him, so he could go back to sleep.

I just don't know if this method will work for the current Cen Lixuan.

Before Jiang Ye could decide whether to try this with Cen Lijun, Cen Lijun suddenly cried out: "Help me!"

Jiang was also taken aback by the cry, and Cen Lixuan opened his eyes immediately after.His face was full of wet tears, and he looked pitiful. He only rolled his eyes, looked around vigilantly, and finally landed on Jiang Ye.

People always have a little compassion, and Jiang is no exception.The appearance of Cen Liyan crying in his dream until he woke up was about too much like his younger brother who grew up with him and had a good relationship with him. He didn't think too much, and sat sideways on the edge of the couch, holding Cen Liyan in his arms, letting his Resting his head on his lap.

"Don't be afraid, it's just a nightmare. You'll be fine when you wake up." He comforted Cen Lixuan strangely, and reached out to pat him on the back, once and for all, very gentle.

If it wasn't for today, Jiang would have forgotten that he had ever been so gentle.

Cen Lixuan's shortness of breath gradually calmed down under his comfort.Cen Lixuan didn't know why, when he opened his eyes and saw Jiang Ye, his panic eased a lot... Probably because last time, after he thought he was going to die, he was lucky enough to open his eyes and see the first person he saw. People are Jiang Ye.

"I'm fine." Cen Lixuan said softly with a hoarse voice.

Jiang also looked down at him, the young man's eyes had been closed again, so he said softly, "Don't be brave, there is no one else anyway."

Then there was another long silence.

Jiang just kept patting Cen Lizhen's back at such an unpleasant frequency. When he was almost asleep, Cen Lizhen said the next sentence: "You...and Brother Wei, why did you save me?"

"Ah?" Jiang Ye's drowsiness was awakened by this sentence, "Wei Lin is kinder."

"how about you?"

"Me? Ah, I... I also have a younger brother, you know." Jiang Ye said, but he didn't want to say these slightly hypocritical things, so he continued in a mature man's tone, "Anyway, like you Children at this age should live in a honeypot without thinking too much about it."

After saying this, Cen Lixuan smiled disdainfully, but did not laugh out loud, but the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked up.

"As a prince, there is no honey pot, only a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​swords."

"I know." Jiang Ye said, "But I didn't know before, whether it is not important to us, children should be pampered."

The speaker has no intention of saying this, but the listener has the heart.

Cen Lixuan had to admit that this sentence, coupled with the love Wei Jiang and the two had shown him, and those days of taking care of him, opened a small window in his heart that he thought was already invulnerable.

Even Xue Ziqin tried his best to meet all his needs and doted on him in every possible way, but he didn't feel this way.It was a wave of warmth, which would trickle from Wei Jiang and the two into the cold place in his heart.

"Cen Lishang wanted to kill me, but it's a pity that I should not die. In the end, even the third brother was fine. He must be very angry." Cen Lixuan said to himself.

Jiang didn't know much about the imperial affairs, but at least he knew a thing or two.If he remembered correctly, Cen Lishang should be the eldest prince's name.Although it was a bit shocking to say this, Jiang didn't show his face or answer, so Cen Lixuan continued:

"I didn't die after falling from Qizhen Peak, and I didn't expect it. But it's nothing, killing an insignificant prince like me, he doesn't have to spend so much trouble."

"Isn't he the eldest son? What are you fighting for?" Jiang Ye said softly.

"Who knows, I won't argue anyway."

When Cen Lixuan said this, he was completely different from the Cen Lixuan in Jiang Ye's memory, his tone seemed indifferent, but it was cold.

"But if you don't fight, you will die." Cen Liyu said again, "Even if I don't fight, even if everyone knows that I have no hope of succeeding to the throne, they still hate me and torture me."

"why?"

"Because my biological mother is the unparalleled concubine Jin, and my uncle and even my grandfather are all heroes of Xuanguo and have been loyal for generations." When Cen Lizhen said this, Jiang couldn't hear his emotions.He also knows these things, and I am afraid that no one among the people knows the glory of the Xue family.

From Xue Yuanshan of the previous generation to Xue Ziqin of this generation, all of them are famous generals with illustrious military exploits.

Concubine Jin is also the highest-ranking concubine in the harem besides the queen.

Jiang didn't ask any more questions, but just continued to listen to him.

"They can't humiliate my mother and concubine, and they can't humiliate the third brother who my mother and concubine loves every day. They can only humiliate me." Cen Lixuan said, his thoughts drifted away, as if those memories reappeared in front of his eyes.The pain of the past and the peace of mind towards Jiang Ye made him completely let go of his guard and talked about the past intermittently.

"The concubine mother turned a deaf ear to me, and the only one who loved me was my nurse... But she died too. I'm ashamed to say that if it wasn't for taking care of me, she wouldn't have died either."

"I have been waiting for a long time, when will he come to fulfill his promise, but he has never entered the palace again."

Jiang didn't know who this 'he' was, but Jiang didn't want to ask.If Cen Liyu is willing to say it, then he will naturally say, if he is not willing, then it is useless to ask.But Jiang also had a vague feeling that this person was Xue Ziqin.

Cen Lixuan went on to say: "Four years ago, I met a painter in the palace. He was very kind to me. He talked with me and taught me how to paint. For a long time, he was the only one in the palace who dared to talk to me."

Speaking of this, Cen Lizhen closed his eyes again, he struggled a little, and continued: "How could someone be kind to me sincerely, he was sent by the second prince, and he pretended to love me... Then I, I..."

"Later I killed him with my own hands."

Although he didn't explain clearly, Jiang had already guessed a lot about the contents of each school.

He stopped what he was doing, and hugged Cen Lixuan in his arms, and hugged him even tighter.Cen Lixuan didn't speak anymore, but from the slight twitch of his shoulders, Jiang also knew that he was crying again, this time not because of nightmares, but because of memories.

It was also hard for Jiang to imagine that there would be such unreasonable insults in this world, and that someone would be so cruel to his brother.

The whole story that Jiang also tried to guess from a few words, in Cen Lixuan's memory, is deep and painful, but it is brand new, and he dreams from time to time, vividly in his mind.

When Cen Lixuan was young, he overheard an older palace servant telling a young maid in the palace about him by chance.

"When the Ninth Prince was born, the emperor was so happy... the prince was given a name after three days, and the concubine Jin is so favored. Even if the moon has not yet come out and cannot get out of bed, the emperor still pays a large sum of money in front of her. Give the Ninth Prince a name. The Concubine Jin just looked at it, the emperor wrote the word 'king' on the red paper one horizontal, two horizontal, vertical and then horizontal, and the Concubine Jin smiled like a flower...you Think about it, the prince gave the name 'King', how much is the emperor's sustenance? But the holy will is unpredictable, the emperor added another, a little more."

"Yu?" A servant girl raised her face and guessed naively.

"Click on the top, it's the word '玊'!"

"What's that word?"

"The word is not important, the important thing is the meaning."

"what does that mean?"

"It's just that Meiyu has time and is not perfect." The palace man said, and shook his head pretending to be regretful, "The face of the concubine Jin changed on the spot. The Ninth Prince gave him such a name. The Holy Majesty gave him such a name. But there is no hope."

At that time, he didn't understand the meaning of this passage, but later when he couldn't see his concubine no matter how much he begged, he suddenly understood.

His father used to love him very much. When he was young, he would often come to see his mother and concubine in the palace of his mother and concubine, as well as him.Only at that time, the concubine mother would be gentle with him, and would affectionately call him Xuan'er.Later, the father was probably too busy and rarely came to see him, and similarly, he rarely saw the mother and concubine.

Everyone in the palace worships the high and tramples the low, except for the nun who takes care of him by his side.

The prince bullied him, and the palace people also bullied him, but Concubine Jin never asked.Mammy couldn't stop him, she could only apply some medicine to his trauma every time, and then hugged him and cried, saying that his life was miserable.

But Cen Lixuan felt that it would not be a hard life to have a nanny around.

When he lived with Mammy wholeheartedly, Mammy died.

One day, someone broke his head, and he ran back to his residence bleeding to find his mother, but the mother collapsed in the yard with blood all over his mouth and nose.

Since then, Cen Lixuan has realized some reality - he was not born to be loved.

The most desperate thing is to give him a little hope when he is desperate and accept his fate, and then crush the hope.

When Cen Lixuan was 12 years old, one day he was bullied by the palace servants and rescued by an unfamiliar painter.

The painter showed his kindness to him and taught him how to paint, and the two talked about everything, facing each other day and night.

For two full years, the two were so gluey that Cen Lijun even forgot the pain of being bullied in the palace, and then fell in love logically, almost drowning in love.The painter proposed to have sex with him, but Cen Lixuan refused.Not because of anything else, just because of his shyness.

Then the man gave Cen Lixuan medicine, waiting for Cen Lixuan to beg him to be happy, watching Cen Lixuan kneeling on the ground begging him, laughing wildly.No matter how humiliating you are, there will be no tenderness in the past.

He will never forget that day, when he was raped until he almost fainted, the second prince kicked open the door of the palace and led a group of palace people to witness the scene with his own eyes.

Later, rumors began to spread inside and outside the palace that the Ninth Prince was a manly man.

After the news got out, Father came to see him.Cen Lixuan remembered his father's appearance, felt regretful, distressed, hated that iron could not be made into steel, and... other things.

The painter is dead anyway.Cen Lixuan stabbed him down the throat while he was sleeping beside her.The blood splattered everywhere, staining Cen Lixuan's chest and face, which made him feel unexpectedly warm.

The sky is bright.

Jiang also noticed this through the gap in the curtain, and realized that the night was almost over.

Cen Lixuan cried for a long time, but did not make a sound.

Jiang Ye thought for a long time but couldn't come up with any words of comfort. Finally, he bluntly wiped away the tears on his face and said, "Don't cry. Anyway... within my ability, I will treat you well. With Wei Lin, Wei Lin will do it too."

"You don't even know where he is." Cen Lixuan said hoarsely.

"That's right, but," Jiang also yawned, "Ugh—I know what he's thinking."
