I don't want to play anymore

Cheng Yinzhuo went down the mountain in anger.

As soon as he returned to the post station, someone came to report that the emperor had arrived and was waiting for him in the hall.

Cheng Yinzhuo couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard this.

He wanted to see Long Yanzhao again in the past few days, but unfortunately he sent people to look for him several times, but the other party only sent an old minister over to negotiate terms with him.

Cheng Yinzhuo didn't want to agree to those conditions.

For so many years, he has put in so much effort to please his father, and now he has traveled so far to ask for help, even Cheng Qi, who he hates the most, he does not hesitate...he does not hesitate to imitate.

He didn't want to just compromise like that.

I don't want to be someone else's puppet.So he wanted to meet Long Yanzhao again in person, and fight for one last time.

Unexpectedly, this opportunity came unexpectedly.

Cheng Yinzhuo recalled the scene when he just met Gu Jingyuan.

While comparing him to the present, recalling Cheng Qi in the past, corresponding to various details bit by bit, adjusted it, and finally pushed open the door of the living room.

"Your Majesty? Are you finally willing to come to see me?" Cheng Yinzhuo showed a surprised expression, and then winked at Long Yanzhao calmly and kindly.

This time he adjusted his expression to be a little more restrained than before.

Cheng Qi is right in saying that Long Yanzhao is not stupid.

He might not be able to hide it forever.

So be careful and be careful.

In the kingdom of the Dayi Dynasty, if the monarch who deceived them was regarded as a crime of deceiving the emperor, now he has no ability to resist, and he can only walk around.

So after thinking about it carefully, Cheng Yinzhuo also felt that when he met Long Si for the first time, his behavior seemed inappropriate.

——He only imitated Cheng Qi Lingyun's confident appearance when he was still a teenager.

But people always change over time.

It might indeed be inappropriate to face Long Yanzhao with the appearance of Cheng Qi in his teens.

Perhaps it was this reason that made Long Si suspicious, and he didn't come to see him for such a long time.

But fortunately, after meeting Gu Jingyuan, Cheng Yinzhuo also realized something.

Seeing Long Yanzhao this time, after being pleasantly surprised, he hurriedly closed his eyelids, half drooping his eyelids, and bowed to him: "See Your Majesty."

"Aqi?" Long Yanzhao didn't seem to expect him to make such a move, so he couldn't help being taken aback.

"Aqi... get up quickly," he said.

But it was just to help him in the past, and did not touch him.

Cheng Yinzhuo noticed this detail.

He looked up at Long Yanzhao, and he couldn't help feeling some bad premonition.

Long Yanzhao asked him: "Aqi... where did you go just now?"

Cheng Yinzhuo smiled and replied, "Go out and take a look around."

"The injury on Aqi's arm..."

"It's almost healed." Regarding his injury, Cheng Yinzhuo deliberately put on a heroic and indifferent look, and said: "Speaking of which, this is the first time I have come to the capital. I used to hear you talking about the prosperity of the capital. It's really interesting to go shopping these few days, but..."

"only?"

"It's just me alone, so it's inevitable that I feel a little boring. Your majesty, you don't have time recently..."

As Cheng Yinzhuo said, he put on an aggrieved expression again.

But he soon realized that Cheng Qi would not show such a coquettish look, so he hurriedly stopped Long Yanzhao when he looked over, and immediately smiled at him, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and a face full of joy.

"But I understand you too," he said.

As he spoke, he stepped forward to get closer to Long Yanzhao, and raised his neck to look at him, revealing his handsome face and the scar on his brow bone.

Cheng Yinzhuo continued to smile and said, "So Long Si, what's the matter with you coming to see me?"

Being suddenly stuck close to him, Long Yanzhao froze for a moment.

He was not used to A Qi like this.

Thinking about his purpose of coming here today, he still nodded and said, "I have something to tell you."

Cheng Yinzhuo smiled and pointed to the seat next to him: "Then let's sit down and talk."

"it is good."

Long Yanzhao had no objection, and went straight to the chair next to him and sat down.

But having been an emperor for several years, living as a superior for a long time, ruling the world, made him no longer the dragon four of the past.

His demeanor and demeanor have become extraordinarily outstanding, not to mention eye-catching, Long Yanzhao's face will also look more handsome when he grows up.

He used to be handsome among his peers, but now he has sharp facial features like a knife and an axe, and his brows are confident and calm.A pair of star eyes are brighter and more energetic than they looked back then, but they are also more confident.

His appearance is imposing, he is proud of everything, and there is a mature and steady masculine aura everywhere...

Cheng Yinzhuo fell half a step behind him, staring blankly, but also a little moved.

Especially when he thought that Cheng Qi had climbed into this person's bed... The jealousy in his heart inevitably deepened.

Cheng Yinzhuo undoubtedly also likes men.

But in the past when his father was there, how could he dare to find a man in order to pretend to be an extremely yang body!

His father, who was the king of Beirong, only liked masculine boys, and if his father found out, he would also like to have sex with men... Maybe he would be expelled like Cheng Qi.

Now that I think about it, although Cheng Qi's later life was a bit miserable, he didn't enjoy it... he actually enjoyed it.

I have been to the Western Regions, and I have lived in the prosperous capital of Beibei for so long, and I have also served as an important minister of Dayi and the emperor's counselor.Most importantly...he is still sleeping - the emperor of Dayi!

Even if Cheng Yinzhuo doesn't want to admit it, he has to admit it... Now the strength gap between Beirong and Dayi is more than 01:30 points.

The Beirong people live as nomads and live a closed life, and few of them have seen the world outside.

Now that he came to the Great Yi Dynasty and the capital, Cheng Yinzhuo really felt the gap.

Since Beirong is not as good as Dayi...

The emperor of Beirong is naturally not as good as the emperor of Dayi...

Cheng Yinzhuo looked at Long Yanzhao's back, thinking like this.

Of course, he didn't give up his plan to be the king of Beirong, but he just looked at the young and tall Long Yanzhao, and then thought of the arrogant and arrogant prince brother who was chasing and killing him...

I just feel inferior.

Compared with Dayi, Beirong is inferior in every aspect.

His mind became more and more uncontrollable.

think:

Now that Cheng Qi has become like this, Long Si can use him as a stand-in and sleep with him.

Then can I also...also?

Yes, of course you can.

Looking at Long Yanzhao who was sitting down, Cheng Yinzhuo couldn't help feeling distracted.

——He is now Cheng Qi.

And obviously, he undoubtedly looks more like Cheng Qi than Gu Jingyuan.

By the way, for Long Si, he is Cheng Qi.

Long Si also collected his portrait!

Thinking like this, Cheng Yinzhuo felt full of confidence, and couldn't help leaning on him.

"Aqi, I came here today to talk to you..."

Long Yanzhao said, when he turned around, he found that Cheng Yinzhuo posted it again.

——Although he was sitting on the chair next to him, the two chairs placed around the carved round table were extremely close to each other.

Cheng Yinzhuo sat next to him.

The arms hang down naturally.

Although it seemed to be placed naturally, it was still attached to his forearm intentionally or unintentionally.

……

Maybe they did have a lot of intimacy when they got along in the early days, but at that time they were young and didn't have that much awareness.

Now they are all grown up.

not to mention……

Long Yan stood up vigorously.

What's more, he already has a wish in his heart.

"What I'm here to tell you is..."

Facing Cheng Yinzhuo's hesitant and doubtful eyes, Long Yanzhao clenched his fists tightly, and said solemnly: "Aqi, I... have fallen in love with someone."

"No." He shook his head again, and said more solemnly: "I fell in love with someone."

At this moment, the Ninth Five-Year Venerable let out a heavy breath.

The word love is too illusory and unrealistic for Long Yanzhao.

Maybe it's because he hasn't felt love since he was a child. He can say and do a lot of cruel things, but it's really too difficult for him to say this one word.

Because I have never loved, and I dare not love.

Many times he deliberately avoided, not thinking about this emotion.

It's like all these years, he has never thought about what he thinks about A Qi.

Long Yanzhao is a person who only values ​​the present moment.

——As long as the current life is comfortable and happy, he will not think so much.

only that person...

Only that person...

Without him, he would never feel happy in the river of time.

He tried.

I have forced myself to live a life without Gu Jingyuan.

In the past few days, he was still concentrating on dealing with government affairs, he still went up and down on time to discuss state affairs with his ministers, and he still went to visit his mother as usual.

But... just something is different.

The days without Gu Jingyuan are sad.

"I have a sweetheart..." Long Yanzhao said.

Once you say it, it becomes a lot easier later.

Facing Cheng Yinzhuo's gaze, Long Yanzhao said firmly, "His name is Gu Jingyuan."

……

Cheng Yinzhuo's gaze began to become suspicious.

Because he was so shocked, his eyes widened... But he never expected that Long Si would still fall in love with him after going around for a while...

why?

so why?

Cheng Qi really has such a charm? !

They all liked him when he was good at martial arts.

Now he is obviously half useless, his appearance is as indifferent as death, and he doesn't smile anymore...

Why do people still like him? !

This was a bit of a blow to Cheng Yinzhuo.

His facial expression dropped directly, and his face became gloomy.

But this made Long Yanzhao suspicious.

Once he has made a decision, Long Yanzhao will become very firm.

He not only wanted to tell Aqi his heart, but also told everyone in the whole world.

Because of this, why not be the first one to talk to A Qi in person.

He thought about A Qi's reaction after hearing this.

However, A Qi's reaction now still caught him by surprise.

If you just felt that Ah Qi had changed before, then now...

Suddenly he couldn't recognize that it was A Qi...

Cheng Yinzhuo also felt that he was revealing his identity.

He shouldn't just put his face down.

So he hurriedly put away his expression again.

He rolled his eyes, and in the blink of an eye, he brought up another matter: "Long Si, is the person you're talking about the Wenqu star of your Dayi? The one who looks very similar to me?"

Long Yanzhao raised his eyebrows as he listened, feeling that what he said became more and more unpleasant.

Kind of disrespectful.

He has always disliked the comparison between Gu Jingyuan and Aqi.

I didn't even expect that the person making the comparison this time was...

"Why did Ah Qi ask like this?" He frowned and said, "You are really a little strange today."

"Ah, don't get me wrong." Cheng Yinzhuo didn't panic this time.

He said: "It's like this. In the first few years when I was in Beirong, I heard that the youngest and most promising major general in your Dayi was accompanied by a young man with outstanding literary talents and looks very similar to me. Think about it. It's Mr. Gu."

Seeing that Long Yanzhao's expression froze at a speed visible to the naked eye, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his gaze gradually became colder from blank for a moment, Cheng Yinzhuo felt a sense in his heart instantly.

"Hey, I still want to meet him, I want to know how much we look like..."

Pretending not to notice the sudden change in the other party, Cheng Yinzhuo said very simply: "But the major general passed away, and the boy disappeared... Later I heard that you have a Wenqu star in Dayi who looks exactly like me. There are some similarities, so I guess it should be him..."

Long Yanzhao's eyes were once again blood red.

Like a trapped animal, his sharp gaze will make people feel that his staring is a kind of judgment.

He stared at Cheng Yinzhuo, and asked word by word: "... who is the major general you are talking about?"

"Who else? Of course it's General Yang." Cheng Yinzhuo said regretfully, "I knew about the battle where he died, but it's a pity that what I said at the time didn't count..."

"You mean to say." Long Yanzhao interrupted him directly.

"Gu Jingyuan used to be in Beirong, and has always been by Yang Jin's side?"

"Should be?" Cheng Yinzhuo simply blinked: "The young man was quite eye-catching at the time, and many soldiers of the Beibei had seen him... By the way, there are many people who have seen him under my command, Hu Canjun , come here."

Cheng Yinzhuo yelled out as he spoke.

After a while, a middle-aged man who looked upright and honest came in to meet him and Long Yanzhao.

Cheng Yinzhuo introduced to Long Yanzhao: "This is one of my soldiers who joined the army. He accompanied me to break through the siege and escorted me to escape here. He has been on the battlefield several times."

Long Yanzhao's expression was extremely gloomy and obscure, and he remained silent beside him.

Cheng Yinzhuo was not surprised that he would react like this.

Although Cheng Qi has deep thoughts, it is difficult for others to know what is in his heart, but Cheng Yinzhuo and him are twins, and they grew up together, so they still understand him to some extent.

Just now he was devastated by Cheng Qi, and on the way back, he kept thinking about how to get revenge.It was also a blessing to the soul, which suddenly reminded him of some reasons why Cheng Qi had gone to great lengths to come to Dayi, to be a counselor for Long Si, but not to tell him his identity.

Although he is not completely sure and cannot guess the details, he is still willing to give it a try.

So on the way back, he had already given instructions to his subordinates.

But Long Yanzhao actually said openly that he likes Cheng Qi...

Therefore, the opportunity just now is the most mature opportunity.

Only then did he mention General Yang.

Unexpectedly... Seeing Long Yanzhao's reaction, Cheng Yinzhuo couldn't help laughing in his heart.

He smiled and asked his fellow soldier: "Hu Canjun, let me ask you, about five years ago, did you see a boy who looked like me on the Rongyi battlefield?"

Hu Canjun said according to Cheng Yinzhuo's previous order: "I have indeed seen it."

"Have you seen it?" Long Yanzhao asked directly this time.

Although Hu Canjun looks like a loyal and honest person, he wholeheartedly assists Cheng Yinzhuo, and he also knows that if King Zhennan fails again this time, they can only wander as Beirong traitors and become souls without owners.

Therefore, he dare not not cooperate with Cheng Yinzhuo.

He said: "I've seen it... more than once. The boy's appearance is very outstanding, and his face is very similar to my prince. The most special thing is..."

"What is it?" Long Yanzhao lowered his voice.

"Yes...he also has a scar on his eyebrow, but it's red...very eye-catching."

Long Yanzhao: "..."

Long Yanzhao did not speak.

Cheng Yinzhuo was still at the side and said, "Then you saw him, did he follow General Yang Jinyang?"

"Of course it is." Hu Canjun said, "The two of them often go in and out together and behave intimately..."

With a crisp "pop", Long Yanzhao directly smashed the teapot on the table to the ground.

The teapot exploded when it hit the ground, and fragments scattered all over the floor.

The hot tea also splashed on Long Yanzhao's dragon boots and the corners of his clothes.

But the emperor standing there didn't notice it.

His mind became extremely clear and clear. Even though he hadn't rested for many days, it was still running automatically, and it automatically pieced together the links that he couldn't figure out and couldn't figure out before.

Gu Jingyuan always said that coming to Dayi was not because of him.

But when asked why he came here, he didn't intend to say.

Long Yanzhao had never been able to figure out why the other party would do this before, so he could only estimate with common sense, thinking that with Gu Jingyuan's ability, he wanted to do these things simply because he wanted to do so.

There is no reason.

……

He attributed these to Gu Jingyuan's playing in the world.

Because the opponent does have such strength.

Also because that day... when the other party said that anyone can do it in Jinxiufang... also subverted his senses all the time, so he naturally thought that he was just playing.

Although he calmed down and thought about it again later, he still had objections to it.

Gu Jingyuan gives people the feeling that he has always been worthy of the words "the best kindness is like water, and the virtue carries all things".

He is not selfish, does not take credit, and is not proud.

Even after retiring, he returned to his rural life and took care of the people down the mountain with the traveling doctor every day.

How could such a low-key, kind, kind and peaceful person just do it for fun?

……

Long Yanzhao couldn't figure it out before.

Even before Cheng Yinzhuo told him about it, he was still thinking about the answer to this question.

Now, don't even think about it.

It's all clear now.

……

It turned out that it was true that Gu Jingyuan said he didn't like him.

It is true that he is only here to assist him...

His eyes were so red that they were about to bleed, Long Yanzhao clenched his fists tightly.

The phalanges are whitish.

His entire face trembled as if he had encountered some kind of bone-piercing pain. He had to clench his teeth and stand upright in order to prevent himself from doing some extreme things and venting the anger in his heart.

...something I didn't understand before.

Now everything was spread out word by word, and it was placed in front of him without any concealment.

The picture of the former young general in white and silver armor kneeling in front of him, swearing to be loyal to him to the death and helping him become orthodox suddenly appeared before his eyes.

It's Yang Jin.

It turned out...it was Yang Jin.

Hahahahaha.

It turned out that it was Yang Jin!

Long Yanzhao suddenly laughed out loud.Cheng Yinzhuo, who was waiting to see his reaction, was taken aback.

He opened his round eyes suspiciously: "Your Majesty?"

"No wonder he chose Zhen directly... No wonder he first belonged to Yang Xiang... No wonder, no wonder..."

Long Yanzhao's expression has become extremely crazy.

He got it.

He finally understood.

What did Gu Jingyuan mean when he said that he didn't love him.

...Of course he doesn't love himself anymore. His purpose of coming here has always been one - to fulfill Yang Jin's unfulfilled wish!

Suddenly, Long Yanzhao thought of the emerald finger ring again.

...can make Mr. Gu, who is indifferent to any rewards and calm and calm, so that he will fight the gangsters without hesitation and grab them back...

How could it be simply a gift from a friend.

Where is the wrench on Yang's second hand?

That's clearly... the finger that was sent back from Yang Jin's body that didn't follow him!

And obviously, the reason why Gu Jingyuan came out of the capital that day was to pay homage to Yang Jin!

The details that he had overlooked in the past are instantly presented one by one.

... For so many years, Gu Jingyuan has been cherishing that finger.

Treat it like a baby.

Long Yanzhao suddenly felt very powerless, as if he was about to faint.

Reality was like a knife stabbing hard into his heart.The heart that he was about to open up and greet Gu Jingyuan with the softest and most tender side.

result……

He was stabbed to a bloody mess.

He suddenly remembered those nights when he and Gu Jingyuan couldn't stop lingering.

The other party clung to him and asked him not to stop.

The other party rarely opened their eyes to look at him.

……

Gu Jingyuan said he didn't like him.

Gu Jingyuan said, it just happened to be him, so it was him.

Gu Jingyuan said, in fact, anyone can do it.

…………

Of course anyone can do it.

Because the Yang Jin who was really in his heart, maybe the only one in his heart, is no longer here.

"Hahahahaha..."

Long Yanzhao laughed out loud again.

"It's really unexpected... I never expected that in the end... I was someone else's substitute."

Long Yan smiled forcefully for a long time.

His eyes cracked, and his laughter pierced his heart.

This is completely different from Cheng Yinzhuo's initial imagination, when he ran to question Cheng Qi out of anger...

At this time, Long Yanzhao seemed to be nailed to the ground with his heels, not moving a step, but he was extremely crazy, laughing maniacally from time to time.

Cheng Yinzhuo frowned deeply dissatisfied.

He really wanted to see Long Yanzhao and Cheng Qi fight.

The current Cheng Qi must not be able to defeat the emperor.

But with Cheng Qi's stubborn personality, as long as it is a fact, no matter how many hidden secrets there are, he will definitely not explain anything.

The kind that would not be said even if killed.

At that time, the scene...

Cheng Yinzhuo really wanted to take a look.

But he didn't understand why Long Yanzhao still didn't move...

Just when Cheng Yinzhuo was racking his brains, trying to provoke the epileptic emperor again, someone outside suddenly said:

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report."

A voice suddenly came from outside the door.

It's Shadow Eight.

... Even though the shadow guards have their own identities during the day, they will never show up in public unless there is an urgent matter.

The moment Ying Ba's voice sounded, Long Yanzhao subconsciously thought of that red figure.

... Just before he came back on a fast horse, he deliberately left Ying Ba and a few others at Gu Jingyuan's side.

Once he thought that maybe something happened to Gu Jingyuan, Long Yanzhao's thoughts were suddenly pulled back, and before he could react, he had already opened his mouth and said, "What's the matter?"

……

After finishing speaking, the emperor tightly shut his mouth, his eyes were wide open, the red pupils almost popped out of their sockets.

In fact, his whole body became colder. Although it was already spring, it was as cold as winter.

... Even Gu Jingyuan doesn't like you, so why are you so busy caring about him?

...Since you already know that he came for Yang Jin, then you can be sure that he has no intention of harming me... He is a hero after all, and he has helped me so much, how can I ignore him.

...but he likes Yang Jin.From the beginning to the end, you, Long Yanzhao, were just a tool.

Why does Gu Jingyuan close his eyes when he is with you?Still don't understand?When he was being teased by you, he was still thinking about Yang Jin!

... I, I, I...

Long Yanzhao's blood surged, and he finally lost his footing.

He almost fell directly on the seat next to him, with a staring expression like a ghost, but facing Yingba who was concerned about his body, he still gritted his teeth and insisted: "What's the matter? Tell me quickly!"

Only then did Yingpachi straighten up.

He looked at Beirong Zhennan King, who was standing on one side and was also giving the emperor a favor.

After a little hesitation, Ying Ba still knelt on the ground and replied: "The emperor ordered this morning to accompany Mr. Gu, and report to the sage in time if there is any disturbance...I dare not hide anything, so I am here to report."

Long Yanzhao didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said. He was deeply shocked now, and he felt cruel about Gu Jingyuan's matter. All he could think about was what else could happen to Gu Jingyuan, so why not let him know !

So Emperor Yuwen, who was holding the armrest of the seat tightly, said with an extremely gloomy expression: "Say."

But compared to him, Cheng Yinzhuo who was standing beside him turned pale at that moment.

His hands that originally wanted to help Long Yanzhao froze in mid-air.

Cheng Yinzhuo turned his head in disbelief and looked at the unremarkable young man kneeling on the ground.

Listen to him say: "Just now, the King of Zhennan visited Mr. Gu on Fuhu Mountain and said something... Therefore, I had to hurry back and report."

Among the dozens of shadow guards under Long Yanzhao, Ying Ba is the best at ventriloquism, has a good memory, and can imitate anyone perfectly.

It also has the ability to reconstruct the scene, which can make people feel immersive.

……

So in the empty inn, in the quiet reception hall, Long Yanzhao heard with his own ears... a conversation between brothers that he never expected.
