Overwhelming mountains and rivers

"Military Master, you told me to close the door and beat the dog. I was afraid that the dog wouldn't come. Let's work in vain. Unexpectedly, the military master really talked about it!"

Cheng Zhiteng smiled.

Shen Qingjun smiled slightly and asked, "How many casualties are there in our army?"

Mentioning this, Cheng Zhiteng couldn't help sighing, "860 people died, less than [-] were seriously injured, and there were no statistics for minor injuries."

"Well, let them return sooner or later."

Cheng Zhiteng smiled, "This is already a big victory. If it weren't for the military division, I would never have such a record in Guanzhou Pass."

Shen Qingjun said softly, "They always have to pay."

"What did the military adviser say?" Cheng Zhiteng didn't hear it very clearly.

"It's nothing. General, this time, Tuojia may not dare to send troops easily for a short time. We can take advantage of this time to rectify the barracks."

"The military division said so."

Cheng Zhiteng paused, "Well, military advisor..."

Shen Qingjun looked at him, "General Cheng has something to say, but it doesn't matter."

Cheng Zhiteng nodded and rubbed his hands again, "Well, I heard that there are dozens of men in black with extraordinary skills among the Tuojia people... But I asked the people below, and they didn't kill them. I want to ask, Is it the military division..." Kill them?

He felt that, judging from the skill shown by the military division before, he was the most likely person to do this.

Shen Qingjun squinted his eyes, and said with a soft smile, "I remember, General Cheng said yesterday that outsiders are always just enemies, right?"

Cheng Zhiteng nodded, "Yes, I said so. So—"

"So, what did the general say?"

Cheng Zhiteng blinked, "Well, I know it. Don't worry, the military commander. I know that His Majesty ordered the military teacher not to go up and kill people in person, but I won't talk too much."

Shen Qingjun smiled, but said nothing.

…………

Cheng Zhiteng left, and Qingzhu walked in holding a pigeon.

"Young master, your majesty is writing."

Shen Qingjun turned his head, and couldn't help but want to touch his forehead, "Your Majesty has a letter, you just take the letter, why did the pigeons come into the room?"

Qingzhu said aggrievedly, "Return to my son, the letter is stuck by the iron ring, Qingzhu can't..., moreover, there are words on the iron ring, Qingzhu dare not destroy it."

Shen Qingjun had no choice but to take the pigeon over.

He pulled the pigeon's legs out from under the feathers, and looked over, and sure enough, he saw an iron ring tightly bound on it.

He lowered his head slightly, looked at the words on it, and his face immediately turned black.

——Junjun, I love you.

Then he thought of a very serious problem.

Did Qingzhu see it?Did Qingzhu see it? !

Shen Qingjun slowly raised his head, and slowly pulled out a smile, "Qingzhu..., you, uh,"

Qingzhu bowed his head instantly, he really wished that his head could be buried in his collar, "...Young Master, Qingzhu won't go out and talk nonsense."

Shen Qingjun's lips turned white, "Qingzhu, you don't want it, don't think about it, this may be an iron ring that His Majesty found casually, and the word is from the original."

Qingzhu didn't even think about it, and subconsciously murmured, "Is the old owner of Iron Ring also called, called, Jun, uh, Jun?"

A layer of red appeared on Shen Qingjun's cheeks, in fact, after speaking, he also found out how far-fetched his reason was.

His eyelashes trembled, "...Qingzhu. You go down."

"…Oh."

…………

The more Shen Qingjun looked at it, the more he felt that the iron ring was an eyesore.

The unsightly result is that Shen Qingjun drank a bowl of pigeon soup for dinner.

So, for several days in a row, Chu Xuanzhao did not wait for Shen Qingjun's reply.

He changed the pigeons and sent several letters in a row, but the result of the letters was Shen Qingjun's nightly meal of pigeon soup.

Seeing that the New Year's Eve was only two days away, Chu Xuanzhao couldn't help but wrote another letter and tied it to the pigeon's leg.

Pigeons are fat.

Because he probably guessed the fate of those pigeons, and picked up a fat one specially, which is another kind of concern after all.

He originally thought that there would still be no return, but unexpectedly, on the afternoon of the [-]th day, he saw this flying pigeon again.

Chu Xuanzhao's heart became hot, and he almost trotted up to catch the pigeon.

Deng Chen, who was standing far behind, bowed his head low. Before, His Majesty told him to listen more, watch more and talk less. After these few days, he finally seemed to understand something.

He slowly opened the note, as if his breath was a little frozen, the more it unfolded, the more reluctant to read it all at once, but at the same time he was looking forward to it.

There are a lot of words this time.

"The New Year's Eve has come, and I know you are safe. Tuojia is eyeing a tiger with ulterior motives. If all the generals are united, he will be sad to pass this pass. However, rotten meat breeds insects, fish rots breed beetles, civil servants and military generals, there may be people with two hearts among them. The king is the pillar of the country, there is black and white in it, I hope you will check it."

Chu Xuanzhao sighed, there are too many words, but it's a pity that they are all business affairs.He would rather he wrote "Well, don't read" like last time.

Chu Xuanzhao rolled up the note and stuffed it into his sleeve, just about to go back to the palace through the secret path of Jinxi Pavilion.A series of hurried footsteps came from the direction of the mansion gate.

Chu Xuanzhao frowned slightly. In the eyes of outsiders, Duke Wei's mansion should be uninhabited, only a few cleaning servants are right, so who would come here?

Before he could figure out the result, the visitor had already walked around the arched door, and just about to open his mouth, he saw Deng Chen behind Chu Xuanzhao, walked forward quickly, bowed, "I have seen you, Brother Huang. "

It was Chu Xuanxin.

He also had a wine bottle in his hand.

Chu Xuanzhao supported him, then turned to Deng Chen, "I have something to discuss with His Highness Prince Cheng, you should go back to the palace first."

"Yes, the slave will leave."

Deng Chen didn't dare to say much, and went all the way back to the palace.

Chu Xuanxin watched helplessly as he entered Jinxi Pavilion, lifted the bed curtain to reveal the tunnel, and was stunned, not knowing what to say.

Chu Xuanzhao lured Chu Xuanxin to sit down on the opposite chair, "Deng Chen serves personally. There are some things that are more convenient for him to know, but it would be too urgent to let him go all at once. Take your time. If in the future, As long as he is here, you don't have to be too formal."

Chu Xuanxin put the wine on the table, called the servants outside to buy more cups, and then smiled, "Yes, I know. I have been to the palace, but I have searched everywhere for you. I expected you to come here, so I looked for you." Come here."

Chu Xuanzhao nodded, and said with a wry smile, "Separation is the only way to know how it feels."

Chu Xuanxin offered him a glass of wine, "It's Chinese New Year, relax."

Chu Xuanzhao's complexion became even worse, "Yes, it's Chinese New Year."

Chu Xuanxin also realized that these words not only could not persuade him, but would also make him feel more uncomfortable, so after thinking about it, he said, "Brother, separation, perhaps not only you will understand the heart-wrenching feeling, maybe, this separation will make you feel better." Let him understand what he really thinks."

Chu Xuanzhao trembled slightly uncontrollably, the wine overflowed and dripped down the side of the cup onto the bright wooden table, "I'm afraid he already knows what he thinks. It's just..., it's just that I feel He seems to be apprehensive and won't admit what he thinks."

"Is that so... If you talk about concerns, I think his biggest concern is your status as emperor. I can also see his attitude towards the court from his words, which is a bit harsh. That's just looking at shit."

"..."

Chu Xuanzhao was speechless to his statement.

Chu Xuanxin twitched his eyebrows, and continued, "If you let him choose to spend the rest of his life stepping on shit, who would be disgusted?"

After Chu Xuanxin finished speaking, she looked up, and saw Chu Xuanzhao staring at him with a gloomy expression.

Chu Xuanxin smashed his mouth, finally realized that his words seemed to be ambiguous, and hurriedly explained, "I'm not saying you're shit, uh, I mean, he followed you, it's like stepping on..., Not right, I mean, in his eyes, court officials are like a piece of shit."

Chu Xuanzhao remained motionless.

Chu Xuanxin shrugged, "...Brother, will you spare me?"

Chu Xuanzhao turned his eyes away, and stopped embarrassing him, "But I always feel that his worries seem to be more than that."

He clearly felt that during the time before Shen Qingjun left Beijing, Shen Qingjun's state seemed to be not right, how should I put it?It seems that you will be embarrassed?Moreover, it is the same resistance, which was always filled with coldness before, but in those days there was a strange avoidance.

He even boldly thought that Shen Qingjun seemed to be attracted to him.

But he still refuses.

why?

Besides identity, what else...

Chu Xuanzhao suddenly shrank his pupils.

It is his disease.

What kind of person is Shen Qingjun? After a long time, he is not as foggy as he was back then. If you say..., Shen Qingjun has always been very thoughtful, let alone no emotion, even if he has emotion, it is deeply hidden in his heart , if he was interested in himself, how would he choose?

hehe~

My life is short, so I won't bother you.

Chu Xuanzhao gritted his teeth hard and closed his eyes.

"Brother, what's wrong with you? Are you alright?" Chu Xuanxin couldn't help but feel a little worried when he saw that his face suddenly became ugly.

Chu Xuanzhao slowly opened his eyes, and smiled softly, "...It's okay. I have an idea."

"What?" Chu Xuanxin was confused.

What's the idea, what's the idea?

Chu Xuanzhao didn't explain, just hooked the wine glass over, "Drink with me."

Chu Xuanxin lowered her eyes, and couldn't ask further, "...Oh. But brother, don't drink too much, today is the New Year's Eve, and there will be a court banquet in the afternoon."

Chu Xuanzhao sighed, "Being an emperor is tiring."

Chu Xuanxin smiled, "This is also your own choice. It's not bad. If you have a harem and palace banquets, you won't be able to relax all day long."

Chu Xuanzhao nodded slightly, "This is indeed my own choice. But it is also a choice without choice. Xuanxin, if King Lian or King Teng ascends the throne, you and me, hmph, do you believe it, it will definitely be theirs now The end of the two. This position, if you fight, you may not die, if you don't fight, you will only die."

Chu Xuanzhao knew who King Lian and King Teng were, especially King Teng, who absolutely could not tolerate the slightest threat.

Chu Xuanxin's eyes darkened, "I naturally understand."

"elder brother…,"

"Ok?"

"Brother, I know that you have come here to a large extent because of me. I can't repay you. If one day, you need to leave this stall, I will bear it."

At first, Chu Xuanzhao pretended to be romantic to protect himself, and later he seized the throne to give the two of them a happy ending.

Even though he was still young at that time, he clearly remembered Chu Xuanzhao's words ten years ago, let his ministers be appointed as marquises and prime ministers, and his younger brother be enshrined in all lands.

Chu Xuanzhao couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, "How many people wish for this, why did it come into your mouth, it seems like you have been wronged by the sky?"

The corner of Chu Xuanxin's mouth twitched, "Isn't it a great grievance?"

…………

Guanzhou pass.

"My lord, go back to the house and rest for a while? It's the New Year's Eve, and the generals in the barracks will come to look for you at night, and I'm afraid they won't have time to rest." Seeing Shen Qingjun standing outside the door, Qingzhu hesitated Again, I couldn't help but open my mouth.

He has always only listened to the young master's orders, and did not interrupt in matters big or small, but now, he really couldn't hold back.

"Will the pigeons freeze to death on the road..."

A very light sigh fell in Qing Zhu's ears.

The same words, the same murmur, but Qingzhu, who is known for his skills, could not hear clearly like Deng Chen. He held the newly replaced charcoal fire hand stove to Shen Qingjun, "Don't worry, my lord, Your Majesty will definitely receive the news."

Shen Qingjun frowned and turned his head, only to realize that the sentence was said by himself.

Shen Qingjun was a little embarrassed.

So he explained, "I'm worried that some of the courtiers are hiding Tuojia's eyeliner, so I will inform His Majesty to check carefully. As for the Guanzhou side, we still need to work hard."

Qingzhu nodded, "Master, actually..., in fact, you never told Qingzhu about these things before."

"..."

Shen Qingjun felt that Qingzhu, who used to be very winking and silent in the past, was almost dying of popularity now.
