When the evening sun shines in through the window sills, it adds a layer of hazy golden light to the room. On the table not far from the bed is a delicate and small empty incense burner. White smoke drifts, and the air is filled with With a fresh and elegant fragrance.

Dongfang Bubai had already woken up, his eyes were blank, and his empty eyes were staring at the light blue gauze above his head embroidered with flower and bird cloud patterns.

It wasn't until the door creaked open that a faint look appeared in his eyes.

"Are you awake?!" Lu Chongming's voice sounded, and the servants who followed him swiftly put the dishes on the table, then blessed themselves, stepped back respectfully, and left Before forgetting to close the door again carefully.

Dongfang Bubai rolled his eyes and remained silent.

Lu Chongming glanced at him, then suddenly patted his forehead as if remembering something and said, "I almost forgot." He walked to the bed in a few steps, and stretched out his hand towards Dongfang Bubai, but he didn't see how he moved. , The person who has been unable to move suddenly let out a heavy breath, moved his fingers, and wanted to sit up.

Only then did Dongfang Bubai realize that the bright red long dress embroidered with rich peonies had disappeared and was replaced by a white inner garment. After touching the underwear under the quilt, his His face turned pale all of a sudden.

Lu Chongming naturally saw the change in his complexion, thought it was a wound, and hurriedly said: "Your internal injury is serious, don't move around." He took the medicine bowl from the table, stirred it with a spoon, and fed it himself to his mouth.

The pitch-black concoction, with its bitter taste, seemed unpalatable. Although Lu Chongming's movements were rusty, his hand holding the medicine bowl was steady.

Dongfang Bubai's eyes lightly swept across his face, then he raised his hand, and with a bang, the medicine bowl was knocked over to the ground, and Lu Chongming's light blue robe was messed up.

The door was knocked, and the servants asked respectfully. Lu Chongming raised his voice and said, "It's okay, just go and make another bowl of medicine."

He squeezed his sleeves to cover his red hands.

Lu Chongming's attitude was calm, and he didn't seem to be offended at all. The more he was like this, the more impetuous Dongfang Bubai became. He obviously knew everything, so why was he still so calm?Why can you feed him medicine as if nothing happened?

His lips trembled slightly, he lifted the quilt with a swish, and was about to go outside.

Lu Chongming clasped his wrist all at once, and the slender touch in his palm made him frown, and he said calmly: "You are injured, go back to bed, or do you want me to use strong means to make you lie down?" go back?!"

With Dongfang Bubai's martial arts, it is impossible for someone to grab his wrist all at once. Even if he is upset at the moment and has injuries on his body, he can't do it. It can be seen that the opponent's skill is definitely not inferior to his, but he is now But he couldn't think about it, he just shook his right hand fiercely, and after realizing that he couldn't break free, he finally couldn't help but said in a sharp voice: "Let go! I want to get out of here!"

Lu Chongming frowned, "Leave?! Where are you going? Go back to Heimuya and be your Demon Cult leader?!"

"It has nothing to do with you!" Dongfang Bubai said hoarsely.

Lu Chongming was a little angry, and he held the other party's hand harder, and said in a deep voice, "I am your father!"

The word father seemed to have a kind of magical power, which made Dongfang Bubai stiff, and after a while, he struggled even more desperately.

The internal force in the palm spat out slightly, and he slapped Lu Chongming's chest, bang—the powerful zhenqi crackled the wooden frame not far behind Lu Chongming into pieces, Dongfang Bubai took advantage of the emptiness he was avoiding sideways, and slapped his wrist Turning around, he broke free from his grip all of a sudden, and then, with a light tap of his bare feet, he slid towards the door like a fish swimming.

bump!His forehead hit the door, and his slender body fell backwards. If Lu Chongming hadn't picked it up quickly, he would have fallen straight to the ground like a corpse.

Lu Chongming hugged him. Although his slender figure looked thin, he was a grown man after all, and he would never be too light. However, Lu Chongming's leg script was not flexible, and he almost dragged him halfway. back to bed.

Putting a thin brocade quilt on Dongfang Bubai's body, the room was already dark at the moment, Lu Chongming took out the oil lamp to light it up, and the orange light gradually rose, illuminating each other's eyes.

With the help of the light, Lu Chongming looked at the person on the bed seriously. His pale complexion, bright angry eyes, and slender eyebrows were obviously carefully trimmed, and they were faint, with the grace of his daughter's family. This face Undoubtedly exquisite, it is more feminine than men's, and more heroic than women's, it is a kind of neutral beauty.

For people of this era, such an appearance is neither yin nor yang, neither male nor female, coupled with Dongfang Bubai's usual clothes, it is definitely an eyesore, but in Lu Chongming's eyes, this son's appearance It's not in line with his aesthetics.

Moreover, Lu Chongming noticed that the other party's Adam's apple was very small, the skin on his face was smooth and delicate, without a bit of beard, his body was slender and flexible, and his frame was smaller than that of ordinary men. Obviously, the symptoms were caused by physical defects.

His gaze was so focused that he almost saw through his body from the inside to the outside. If it was normal, if someone looked at him like this, Dongfang Bubai would have dug out the other's eyeballs long ago, and slapped him into meat sauce. But he couldn't move now, maybe even if he could move, it would be difficult for him to attack this person.

The black phoenix eyes were burning with anger, and there was embarrassment and cowardice hidden under the anger that no one could perceive, even he himself did not admit it, his fingertips trembled, and he pursed his lips and said arrogantly: "What do you want to do?" How?"

"I don't want to do anything, I just want you to heal your injury well." Lu Chongming said lightly: "Then you go back to Heimuya and continue to be the leader, or you come back to Beijing with me, it's up to you."

After a pause, he continued, "Of course, I hope you can go back with me. After all, you and I haven't seen each other for 20 years. It's good to be able to cultivate our relationship together."

"Cultivate a relationship?!" Dongfang Bubai sneered, his voice extremely sharp, "What kind of relationship do you want to cultivate with a eunuch's son? Isn't the majestic Chief Assistant afraid of being ridiculed by the world?!"

Lu Chongming looked at him quietly, Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but look away from his overly calm gaze.

"So what if the body is disabled?" Lu Chongming said flatly: "You are still my son, and the same blood flows in your body and mine. This will never change."

The tightly curled eyelashes trembled slightly, and Dongfang Bubai's breathing became heavier and heavier, "Have you forgotten what I look like? How can you accept such a monster who is neither male nor female, and no one can accept it!"

Lu Chongming raised his eyebrows, remembering the colorful face when he first met him, "It's not very pretty."

His blunt words made Dongfang Bubai's voice even sharper, "If you want to practice this skill, you must first come out of the palace. The "Sunflower Treasure" I practiced not only crippled my body, but also changed my psychology. I like wearing clothes. A woman's dress, a woman's dress, and even my desire to be a woman, can you accept such a monster?!"

Dongfang Bubai put his inner thoughts and his extremely ugly side in front of the other party without leaving a trace. He is absolutely proud on the surface, but he is inferior in his heart that no one can detect. Yes, he doesn't believe that anyone in this world can accept him like this, he doesn't care about other people, if it makes him unhappy, he will kill him, but he can't touch a hair of this person.

Lu Chongming sighed, stroked his hair, and said, "If you like to be a woman, then it's done, and I will raise a daughter."

Dongfang Bubai's body was stiff, he looked at the other party in disbelief, that's it?No cursing, no contempt, no earnest persuasion?Just a simple sentence to raise her as a daughter?He—accepted himself like this?This Dongfang Bubai that he doesn't even like? !

He wanted to laugh a little, but his heart was filled with sourness one after another, his slightly raised phoenix eyes blinked, and then blinked again, finally blinking away the heat in his eyes.

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent, and no one spoke again until the door creaked and was pushed open.

The servant carrying the medicine bowl came in, stopped in front of Lu Chongming, and presented the medicine bowl.

Lu Chongming hugged the person on the bed and half sat up, stuffed a pillow behind him, then carefully blew the medicine juice, and fed the medicine again.

This time, Dongfang Invincible did not refuse.

When the medicine bowl bottomed out, Lu Chongming wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and then asked someone to remove the food on the table and replace it with another. After so much tossing, the food had already gone cold.

"Why do you accept me like this?" Dongfang Bubai's mouth was full of the bitter taste of medicinal juice, and even the words he uttered were bitter, "I am in such a strange state now, even, even let Dongfang Bubai If the family can't do it, what do you want such a son for?"

Lu Chongming was silent for a moment, but said something irrelevant, "You and I have been separated for nearly 20 years."

Dongfang Bubai looked at him, a little confused.

"None of us knew whether the other party survived the accident back then. Although I didn't stop looking for you, I was just looking for you. I'm not sure if you're really still alive." Lu Chongming paused, and then said: "You should have investigated me, since the day I appeared in Heimuya, you should have had people investigate all the experiences of 'Dongfang Han'?"

Dongfang Bubai nodded, there was no need to deny this matter, it would be a strange thing if he didn't investigate.

Lu Chongming hooked his lips, stretched out his hand to hold the opponent's hand, a little warm current flowed along the meridians, Dongfang Bubai moved his fingers, and the confinement on his body was released, but he still sat quietly, no more He tried to escape, but he heard Lu Chongming say lightly: "Since you have investigated, you should know that 'Dongfang Han' has never married a wife, and has no heirs. I don't know whether you are dead or alive, and I don't know whether you can survive." If I can't find you, I have never planned to let another person be named Dongfang, so how on earth do you think I care about whether you can leave a descendant for the Dongfang family?"

"So?" Dongfang Bubai's eyes were a little confused, "You don't care that the Dongfang family has no descendants?"

Lu Chongming said in a calm voice, "It's enough to have the two of us surnamed Dongfang."

"You don't mind if I like to wear women's clothing?"

"Your clothes are beautiful, but it's better to leave the makeup to others."

"So, I don't like women, it doesn't matter if I only like men?"

"It really doesn't matter." He has seen a lot. In the Mingyu Empire, no matter whether it is a husband or wife, or a husband and wife, it is legal. Since he has been raised as a daughter, it is only natural to find him a son-in-law.

He has many disciples, and there are also many young and handsome generals under him, enough for him to choose!

Dongfang Bubai has deep internal strength. In just two days, most of his internal injuries have healed, and the father-son relationship between him and Lu Chongming has also eased. The knot in my heart gradually loosened.

Two days later, the two got into the carriage and started to go north back to Beijing.

Along the way, there will always be some news about Heimuya, such as the news that the former director of the Sun Moon Sect, I Xing, and the Huashan faction traitor Linghu Chong killed Heimuya, and finally died together with the world's number one Dongfang Bubai; For example, Songshan Zuo Lengchan issued a martial arts decree as the leader of the alliance, and gathered five sects to take advantage of the time when the demon sect was leaderless, and took over the Sun Moon Sect; "Sword" Yue Buqun killed Zuo Lengchan.

In short, the Demon Cult is in chaos, the Five Sacred Sect is in chaos, and the whole Jianghu is in chaos.

But none of these seemed to have anything to do with Lu Chongming and the others who were heading north.

The only thing that made Lu Chongming frown was Dongfang Bubai. I don't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that after hearing those news, the other party seemed to be silent.

Putting the letter paper in his hand aside, and listening to the sound of the carriage wheels turning outside the car window, Lu Chongming hesitated for a while, and then said: "If you are worried, we can turn around and go back to Heimuya."

Dongfang Bubai shook his head, "I haven't cared about the Sun Moon Sect's affairs for a long time, and whether he can survive this time has nothing to do with me." From the bottom of his heart, he is a cold-blooded People, he regards what he cares about as a treasure, and what he doesn't care about, he discards it like a shoe.

"I was just thinking about Big Brother Tong..." After all, he was a person who had lived and died with him, and had always been loyal to him, so he still cared a little.

"No need to worry." Lu Chongming said lightly: "I have sent him a letter to transfer him away from Heimuya, and now he should be on his way to Beijiang."

Dongfang Bubai looked surprised, he knew Tong Baixiong's feelings for Sun Moon Sect, the other party would never leave Heimuya now, what method did this person use?

Lu Chongming patted his knee and said: "I just said that my leg disease needs a few rare herbs, and I just want him to help find it. He feels ashamed of me, and he will agree without saying a word."

Tong Baixiong is a man with high martial arts skills, but a simple temper, so he can easily deceive him.

Now that Lu Chongming said so, Dongfang Bubai no longer thought about Tong Baixiong, he bowed his head again and started to embroider.

Yes, it is embroidery!

A silver needle, a few thin threads, shuttled back and forth, dazzled Lu Chongming who was watching from the sidelines, and then, in just a moment, several black orchids appeared gracefully on the sleeves.

Lu Chongming rubbed the center of his brows, took a few sips from the teacup from the side coffee table, and before he could say anything, he saw Dongfang Bubai gesturing twice on him with the clothes in his hand, and then buried him again. go down.

Looking at the light white men's robe, Lu Chongming raised the corners of his lips.

This journey back to Beijing was not so smooth, someone secretly wanted him not to return to Beijing, but without mentioning Lu Chongming's own ability, just say Dongfang Bubai, four servants under him, and the dead guards who secretly protected him. It is doomed that the other party cannot succeed.

Lu Chongming didn't need to investigate to know who the mastermind was.

The little emperor is already 20 years old, and he wants to take power, and wants to get rid of the auxiliary minister who is in the way.

The letters from Beijing are more urgent than the last one. Today’s letter says that the emperor summoned several royalists, and tomorrow’s letter says that the other party suddenly launched an attack in the court. A certain lord of a certain department was dismissed by the emperor, so let’s hurry back Preside over the overall situation.

In fact, Lu Chongming didn't care much about these things. The reason why he became an official back then was that the situation forced him to let nature take its course, and the other was that he could better find his son by standing taller.

For so many years in the court battlefield, he has regarded these things as his responsibility. Although the emperor is young and ambitious, he is irritable, easy to listen to people's words, and has no judgment of his own. He is not a qualified person. The emperor, he doesn't want to hand over the country that he has guarded and governed for many years, even if he is the nominal master of the country.

The matter in the court was a headache, and he planned to forget about it until he returned to the capital. Anyway, the little emperor would not be able to make any big waves, or it would not be impossible to change someone else to be the emperor.

One month later, Lu Chongming's carriage finally entered the capital. Naturally, some people were happy and some were worried when he came back, but what was even more surprising was the people he brought back.

Dongfang Bubai walked into the mansion in a red dress and a veil, and never came out after that, so all the high-ranking nobles basically knew that Lord Shoufu had found the child who had been lost for more than ten years.

Of course, there are a few people in the know who are a little confused. Isn’t it the son who disappeared, but the daughter was found? Of course, these people are extremely loyal to Lu Chongming, and they were sent by him to find the child. Doubt, but he can't say a word, and naturally no one will know the real situation.

The small turmoil in the court subsided instantly after Lu Chongming came back. Lu Chongming invited several stubborn old people to go back to retire. His methods were mild, mainly because he didn’t like killing people outside of the battlefield, of course. , if some people are too stubborn and always refuse to give up and keep jumping, he doesn't mind killing a few of them.

Fortunately, they were quite acquainted, and they didn't come to learn from the Qing emperor by death or anything, and the departure of a few veteran officials also caused the little emperor to lose an arm.

In the imperial study room, the emperor drove out all the eunuchs and maids who were waiting on him, and said in a daze, "Uncle emperor, what should we do? He is back, what should we really do?"

Huaishan King Zhu Youhe is a middle-aged man with a slight beard. He looks very ordinary. He is neither tall nor short, nor fat nor thin.

At this moment, he sighed, looked at the emperor who had no master, and said, "I told you a long time ago, don't fight against Dongfang Han, don't fight against him, but you just don't listen! Dongfang Han has been an official for twenty years, from a mere How can an aide be easy to deal with if he has climbed to the position of one person below one person and above ten thousand?! Not to mention that he uses soldiers like a god and controls one-third of the country's military power. His name of war god is in the north , and even the entire Ming Dynasty is well known.”

"Do you want me to be held in his palm all the time and be a puppet emperor?" The little emperor said unwillingly: "I will soon be 20 years old, but I have to listen to him and ask him for everything. Is it the emperor? Is there such a useless emperor as me? I might as well hand over the throne to him!"

"Emperor!" Zhu Youhe shouted in displeasure, "Please be careful with your words!"

"Isn't it?!" The little emperor's eyes were red, he suddenly grabbed the other party's sleeve, choked up and said: "Uncle, I am aggrieved, the power in the court is now in the hands of Dongfang Han, Those officials also follow the lead of the first assistant, and the few who support me will be reduced by half as soon as he comes back, so what is the meaning of what the emperor does."

Zhu Youhe sighed, held his wrist and said: "Your Majesty, I know that you are wronged, but Dongfang Han is powerful, you can't confront him head-on, you can only endure."

"Be patient!" The little emperor pulled his hand suddenly and roared angrily: "You let me bear every time. Seeing that Dongfang Han's power is getting bigger and bigger, I am overwhelmed by him every day. I have to bear it until now!" When will it be the head, I can't bear it anymore!"

"If you can't bear it, you have to bear it!" Huaishan King said in a deep voice: "For example, this time, you were too eager for quick success, and even sent someone to assassinate. If Dongfang Han was so easy to be assassinated, he would have died hundreds of times already. Time! The emperor should be lucky, if he doesn’t know that you are the one behind the assassination, it’s fine. Once he finds out, not to mention abolishing a few royalists, it’s a question of whether you can still sit on the throne. question!"

"You, you mean that he will abolish the emperor?" The anger in his heart was extinguished at once, and the little emperor shook his lips and said: "He, how dare he? How dare he do this? Such a rebellious thing, people in the world , No one in the world will allow it!"

"Dongfang Han holds great power, do you think he dares? As for the people of the world," he snorted coldly, "People in the world today only know Dongfang Chief Assistant, and who knows who the emperor is!"

The little emperor shrank his neck as if frightened, his whole face was extremely pale.

Seeing this, Zhu Youhe couldn't bear it. He sighed and said, "I warned you not to be impulsive, don't be impulsive! Everything has two sides. Although Dongfang Han is powerful, he also has weaknesses. He has no wife and no children. He is older than you, and one day everything in his hands will come back to you. The premise is that as long as you wait patiently until the day he dies, you will win in the end! But you, alas, are still too young after all. gone."

The little emperor tightly grasped his sleeve, and asked with some anxiety: "Then, what should I do? He, he won't really abolish me, right?"

Zhu Youhe narrowed his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "In two months, the emperor will be 20 years old, and it's time to marry the queen."

The little emperor was a little annoyed, "I don't have the time to think about this now!"

Zhu Youhe shook his head and said: "Dongfang Han returned to Beijing this time and brought back his daughter who had been lost for more than ten years. If the emperor wants to, please ask our Chief Assistant to marry the daughter of the Dongfang family."
