How to work

After many years, Zhao Zhu once again felt the taste of fear.

The heart seemed to be tightly pinched by an invisible big hand, every breath was painful and tight, cold sweat broke out all over the body, the blood flowed backward, as if he would die in the next moment...

The last time I felt this way was when I was young.

Yan Wang seal, seal life and death, leave a name in front of the Hall of Ten Kings, the lone star of Tiansha, restrains father and mother restrains the whole family, is destined to live a lonely life and die in the wild.

Born with a red mark on his throat, Zhao Zhu's fate is not destined to be peaceful. What his birth brings to his parents is not a surprise, but troubles that follow.Fortunately, his mother and concubine were tough and brave, and tried their best to protect him. Before the age of five, Zhao Zhu was ignorant and ignorant. Concubine died.

What was accidentally taken away was not only the life of the concubine mother, but also the protective umbrella that the concubine mother opened for him.

Father drank his sorrows by drinking every day, and everyone around him was busy, and more and more ugly words fell into Zhao Zhu's ears.Zhao Zhu was very sad at that time, and he could not listen to any unpleasant words, so he beat someone with his small whip.That person is his cousin, he belongs to the same clan, and his status is equal, but he has a good life, has parents who protect the calf, and is sweet and talkative since he was a child. Many people like him. If a lonely star like him bullies others, he will definitely Get hit back.

Others didn't beat him or scold him, but attacked him from the aspects of background, upbringing, and Yan Wangyin. His father was drunk and unconscious, his mother and concubine who protected him passed away, and his status as a loyal servant did not match. Think about it, his situation What has become.

On New Year's Eve, the palace held a banquet, and the cousins ​​played a new game.

Zhao Zhu was always alone when he was growing up, it didn't matter if others squeezed him out and didn't play with him, he was used to it and didn't care, but others wanted to bully him... no!

The mother and concubine cared for him so tenderly, protected him, and allowed him to grow up healthily within a limited range, not to let him grow up to be bullied by others!If he was bullied so easily, how could he be worthy of his concubine's careful care over the years!

Zhao Zhu clenched the small whip in his hand and started playing hide-and-seek with his cousins.I don't know what he was thinking, he showed his head occasionally to attract the eyes of the cousins, then quickly ran away, separated the cousins, and slipped back to whip them up one by one.

Seven or eight children of about the same age planned to bully a person everyone hated, but instead of being bullied, they were beaten!How can this be endured, the children cried and went home to find their parents.

Zhao Zhu's reputation became bad again. Everyone who saw him would leave far away, and if he was ordered, he would be severely beaten.He is small and has no one to help him, so he rarely wins.The father didn't care about him when he wasn't drinking. Gradually, even the servants began to have the courage to bully him.

They belong to the same clan, so there are many opportunities to meet each other, and it is already an inherent game for this group of children to fight whenever they meet.And when he knows what environment he will face and is prepared, Zhao Zhu usually won't lose.

When children fight, they don't know how to measure, especially when they are very angry, Zhao Zhu got angry this time, and he killed a person.

This man was the only son of his father's younger brother, and his father's younger brother was unable to conceive a woman because of an accidental injury.

In order to appease this person's anger, the emperor locked Zhao Zhu in the palace and grounded him, and asked the strictest eunuch to teach him the rules for two years, but his father...had no objection.

Zhao Zhu lived the darkest two years in the palace.

It was okay in the early stage, at least he still had the status of the clan. Although he suffered some neglect and rolled his eyes, there was no real harm, but as time passed, people outside gradually forgot about him, and even the lowest eunuchs dared to bully him.

The eunuch's methods of bullying people were very insidious. Zhao Zhu began to have insufficient food, no warm clothes to wear, no charcoal fire to keep warm, his body ached, and he had no strength to walk. The winter in Beijing almost killed him.

In order to survive, he kept trying to escape, but the palace walls were deep and the guards were strict. Not to mention the Forbidden City, he couldn't even escape from the palace at that time, and the eunuch who was in charge of guarding him always appeared mysteriously.

Every time he failed to escape, he had no food for three days.

When his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, his wound oozing blood, and he was dizzy from hunger, Zhao Zhu curled up into a ball and still had no regrets.

He doesn't regret beating people, doesn't regret anything that forced him to this point, and if it happens again, he will do it again!

The only thing he was uncomfortable with was that he could no longer see his concubine's smile.

When I was young, I was ignorant. I asked my concubine for a friend, blamed my concubine for not taking him out to play, and made my concubine cry several times... The fate between mother and child is so short, why be more ignorant, and make her cry!

Before he was eight years old, Zhao Zhu understood what it was like to have a son who wanted to raise him but his parents were not around.

……

Zhao Zhu learned to climb walls, drill holes, and try his best to be as flexible as his thinner body than his peers. Gradually, he was able to go to the cold palace next door to grab some food.

Concubine Ning, who fell out of favor, lived in the cold palace. Concubine Ning brought the young Emperor Taijia, and life was not easy.

The few people were frightened day and night, supporting each other, going through the long cold and snowy night, and gradually waiting for the warmth of spring and the blossoming of flowers.

Zhao Zhu was taken back by his father, and those who greeted him were his father's newly married stepmother, and his soon-to-be-born younger brother...

Zhao Zhu's heart became cold.

Prince Ping Yijue is hereditary, guarding the border, and resisting foreign enemies. As the eldest son of King Ping, as long as Zhao Zhu is not dead, no matter what outsiders think, he must receive relevant education.

King Ping found several masters to teach Zhao Zhu how to practice martial arts, and from time to time tested him personally, or threw him into the barracks to hone his skills.

Zhao Zhu was already nine years old, so it was supposed to be too late to start practicing martial arts, and he would not have any great achievements, but Zhao Zhu stubbornly withstood the pressure, his master asked him to practice for two hours, but he insisted on practicing for four hours, defying the wind and rain , Shuangxue is not afraid, it seems that he does not regard himself as a human being, but in two years, the results have far exceeded expectations.

In addition to practicing martial arts, he also had to learn the art of war and read books. In just two years, the military talent he displayed frightened King Ping.

In the past two years, except for going to the military camp, he never went out. Because of the catastrophe he had caused before, King Ping didn't care about it. The emperor and the clan never asked for it. He lived quite quietly in the past two years.

It's a pity that Princess Stephanie couldn't sit still.

King Ping couldn't hide his admiration for Zhao Zhu, which was not good for her son. She began to use all kinds of scheming to find a charming and charming woman with different styles to seduce Zhao Zhu.

After practicing martial arts for two years, Zhao Zhu's body developed very fast. Instead of being thin and weak when he was released from the palace, he was strong and brave, and he began to look like a man.The second concubine understands very well that for a child of this age, as long as he is misled, he will become addicted and achieve nothing.

At any time, there will be a woman who accidentally jumps on him, a naked woman will appear in the shower, and occasionally a woman will try to touch him when he wakes up in the middle of the night. Zhao Zhu didn’t understand it at first, but gradually understood it. up.

He broke the arms of two women, and he knew how to do it when he jumped up.

But his reputation for bloodthirsty still spread, and everyone in the capital said that Zhao Zhu, Prince Ping's son, liked to torture people the most, and every month the mansion would transport out corpses tortured to death by him...

Undoubtedly, it was the second concubine who did it again.

Zhao Zhu ignored it, he told his father that he wanted to go to the border.

King Ping disagreed, Zhao Zhu was still too young, the general was 11 years old, and the youngest soldier in the frontier army was not only this age.The second concubine was very happy. Some people don't know the truth and want to die on the battlefield. It's not too good!

So the final result of this incident was that King Ping personally sent Zhao Zhu to the border.

King Ping said that since he has made a decision, he will experience the cruelty of war in person, and if he regrets it, there is still time.

King Ping threw Zhao Zhu directly to the battlefield.

Zhao Zhu's first battle was fought at the age of 11.Among all the soldiers, he is the smallest, newcomer, no one knows his identity, and has no brothers who can hand over his back. He fights alone, like a fearless little tiger, brave and sharp.

That battle was a border defense battle between Daxia and the Liao Kingdom. Daxia won, but Zhao Zhu almost died.

For the first time he was so close to death.

His arms, legs, and back were all injured, and his strength was exhausted. He could hardly lift the long knife in his hand. His eyes were filled with blood, and the enemy's knives and arrows almost turned into phantoms.But King Ping didn't help, so he rode on a tall horse and stood far away from the field, watching indifferently.

Even though he cried out for help, King Ping did not come.

Zhao Zhu believed that as long as the war continued for half an hour, maybe not half an hour, he would die, and his father would not come to rescue him.

When he was carried off the battlefield, he stared at King Ping fiercely, his eyes filled with killing intent.

This is his father!

The injury was so severe that Zhao Zhu was in a daze, and it took ten days before he regained consciousness.King Ping looked at him in front of the bed, and asked in the first sentence: Do you still want to stay on the battlefield?

On the battlefield, the situation is complex and ever-changing. No one can save you. You can only rely on yourself.

are you ready?

Zhao Zhu looked at the empty palm, he had nothing, and the only maternal love he had had also been lost early.There seems to be no place in the world that belongs to him, not in Shangjing, not in Prince Ping's Mansion, not here...not here either.

If you are destined to be unable to hold anything in your hands, then there is no need to have fear, no need to have nostalgia.

Here the sky is high and the land is wide, the wind, frost, rain and snow come so directly, a good man should come and go as he pleases like this free wind!

Anyone who stops him from coming and going, just kill him!

He doesn't know that the battlefield is dangerous, even the most intelligent person with the highest martial arts can't prevent accidents, in which, his life may be lost at any time.

But he is not afraid!

Even though his head was in a different place, even if his body was shrouded in horse leather, he still had a good fight!

He will die under the blue sky and white clouds. His body nourishes the land, and his blood waters bright flowers.

From that day on, Zhao Zhu no longer knew what it was like to be afraid.

He is not afraid of being trapped in Jue Ridge.

He is not afraid of running out of arrows and food.

He is not afraid of entering the enemy's tent alone and being surrounded by hundreds of officers and soldiers!

His fierce reputation comes from selfless killing. Behind him, there are piles of corpses. He is not afraid, and even looks forward to the next thrilling confrontation!

But now, at the moment when the door was pushed open, Lu Li was not there, and he was afraid.

The blood was cold, the throat was tight, and there seemed to be a bloody taste in the mouth.

Not just scared, he was very scared!

If something happened to Lu Li, he didn't know what would happen to him...

After smashing his fist and destroying the table in the room, Zhao Zhu immediately turned around and flew out—maybe Lu Li just went out and nothing happened!

He first flew to the Zui Eight Immortals to find Shen Wansha and He Lianyu.

Shen Wansha and He Lianyu were monitoring Mei Niang these days, and Mei Niang was busy in the store most of the time, so they spent almost three meals a day in the store.He Lianyu was able to switch identities to hang out in the rivers and lakes, and he still had some unique skills in his hands. In order not to arouse suspicion, he made it easy for himself and Shen Wansha, and the tasks were handled like ducks in water.

Shen Wansha also found it very novel, and He Lianyu was good at coaxing people, and the atmosphere between the two gradually became harmonious.

Seeing Zhao Zhu suddenly, Shen Wansha's eyes widened, "It's so late, what are you doing here?"

Zhao Zhu was dissatisfied with the two people's attire, it was too difficult to recognize, but now was not the time to worry about it, he asked quickly, "Did Lu Li come to see you?"

Shen Wansha was even more surprised, "It's so late, how could he come?"

Before the words finished, Zhao Zhu's figure had disappeared.

Shen Wansha pointed at his back and jumped, "You tell me, what's wrong with little Lizi!"

Zhao Zhu hurriedly went to Butou Wei again, but Butou Wei was also very surprised, "Could it be that Mr. Lu has a new clue? Is he still on the way, I'll meet him!"

Zhao Zhu gave Wei Butou a hard look, and went to look for Yu Zhi again.

Yu Zhi is already asleep...

Zhao Zhu went to the autopsy room again, because Lu Li would get used to looking at the corpse again when he couldn't find any new clues, but unfortunately, Lu Li was not there.

Zhao Zhu was almost going insane, his eyes were red with murderous intent, and his fisted fingers were clenching.

Hong You fell far behind, not daring to show his head.

He was very thankful that it was night and there was no one on the street.The last time the prince showed such an expression, he directly rushed into the enemy camp and tore the general of Xixia with his hands...

"Hong You!" Zhao Zhu turned around suddenly.

Hong You came out quickly, "My lord?"

"Check it out for me!" No matter who dares to hurt Lu Li by a hair, he will make him regret coming to this world!

"Yes!" Hong You's heart trembled, "This subordinate will immediately contact everyone for action, please return to the inn and wait for news!"

Zhao Zhu nodded, tacitly allowing Hong You to use all his strength, and it doesn't matter if his whereabouts are exposed.

He turned around and went back to the inn, ready to recharge his batteries and attack immediately when there is news!

……

The night is like water, the stars are shining, without that person, everything is so lonely, as if swallowing several ice edges in winter, even the heart is cold.

Zhao Zhu didn't dare to stay in Lu Li's room, the room was filled with this man's breath, even taking a breath made him feel heartache.

He was walking on the path, with a murderous look in his eyes that could not be suppressed.

But at this moment, he heard a burst of familiar footsteps.

The footsteps are gentle, neither fast nor slow, comfortable and leisurely, it is the unique voice of that person.

Zhao Zhu's eyes were startled, he tiptoed to the ground, and jumped over the corner——

Lu Li took a step back in shock, "Why are you so scary?"

He was holding a round porcelain cup in his hand, his face was smeared with black, his clothes were pulled up and tucked into his belt, not refined at all.After complaining softly, he smirked at Zhao Zhu, "You're back! Look what I prepared for you—ah, be careful with the soup, soup!"

Zhao Zhu rushed forward and hugged him tightly, his voice tightened, "Where have you been..."

He wanted to hold Lu Li down and beat him hard, but when Lu Li smiled brightly at him, he found that he couldn't bear it... even if this person did something that made him extremely angry, he still couldn't bear it.

Because of the excessive excitement, his arms even trembled a little. He didn't realize that, in fact, his voice was also a little trembling, "...I'm very worried about you."

Lu Li was taken aback by the sudden hug, and wanted to push Zhao Zhu away, but this person was obviously in a bad mood, so he could only hold the soup with one hand, and patted Zhao Zhu's back comfortingly with the other hand, "Why? Is it? You get up first, I'm dirty..."

Lu Li was in his arms well, and the two of them had their chests pressed against each other, they could hear each other's heartbeat, and could feel each other's blood flow.

Warm body temperature came through the clothes.

Zhao Zhu smelled the fragrance of gardenia, light and slightly sweet.

Everything is so real.

Zhao Zhu put his nose to Lu Li's neck and took a deep breath, "I miss you very much."

"I miss you too!" Lu Li felt that Zhao Zhu was in a strange mood, so he quickly changed the subject to try to get him back to normal, "You see, I was still worried that you would be hungry when you came back, so I went to the kitchen to watch the soup myself!"

Zhao Zhu didn't want to talk about soup at all at the moment, he hugged Lu Li and turned around, pushing him against the wall, forcing him to concentrate.

Lu Li didn't have much strength in his hands, and it was already very difficult to hold the soup cup. Zhao Zhu moved too fast, his hand was unstable, and the soup cup fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Lu Li was short of breath and didn't want to drink anymore, so he asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you?"

Tightly holding Lu Li in his arms, feeling the breath, body temperature, and heartbeat of the person in his arms, Zhao Zhu gradually calmed down, the blood in his eyes faded, and he sighed in satisfaction.

This is his person.It was the concubine who chose for him, who he personally confirmed, who he wanted to be with.

The palm that used to be empty is no longer empty, and a person lives in his heart.

Wherever there is this person, that is where he belongs.

This person is his life!

He doesn't allow anyone to spy on the harm, not even Lu Li himself!

Fuck his plan, fuck his thinking of 'I'll refuse when Lu Li says he likes it', he admits that he has fallen, he wants this person, and he will never let him go for the rest of his life!

Zhao Zhu looked deeply, lowered his head gently, and kissed Lu Li's forehead, eyes, cheek...

Lu Li's eyes widened, what's going on!

His heartbeat started to speed up, and every time Zhao Zhu touched him, his heartbeat would get faster.

The soft touch and slight wetness on his face made him clearly understand what Zhao Zhu was doing!

Strange feelings, strange feelings, swayed from the tip of his heart, and flowed through his limbs in an instant... He was not afraid, but he was a little nervous, and there was a little bit of anticipation.

When the kiss reached the corner of his mouth, fireworks exploded in Zhao Zhu's mind. At this moment, he understood his intention.

He likes Zhao Zhu.

I like it very much.

He liked it until Zhao Zhu was frightened, and when he wanted to kiss him for comfort, he didn't want to refuse.

Zhao Zhu may have done it on a whim, but he himself... is willing!

Lu Li was saddened by his consciousness.

He fell, fell on Zhao Zhu, this annoying person.

Really not reconciled!

Feeling that the person in his arms was confused, a little resistant, and subconsciously struggling, Zhao Zhu was dissatisfied.

He held Lu Li's wrist, raised his head against the wall, fixed it with one hand, pressed his body heavily, and stroked Lu Li's jaw with the other hand, not allowing him to dodge.

When the fiery kiss fell, the two sighed at the same time, with a sense of fate that the dust had settled.

It was the first time in two lifetimes that he experienced such a thing, and the strange feeling washed over his body over and over again, making Lu Li a little flustered.

Zhao Zhu was not skilled in this kind of thing, he was a little rude, biting Lu Li's mouth, but this eagerness just showed his mood, he wanted Lu Li to feel his emotion and accept his emotion.

It didn't rain tonight, and the dark clouds in the sky had dissipated at some point, revealing a crescent moon and bright stars.

The warm wind hits, and the dark fragrance fills the sleeves.

The lingering figures of the two were reflected on the wall. At this moment, it was surprisingly beautiful.

Lu Li was a little out of breath, but Zhao Zhu was insatiable and didn't allow him to retreat...

"Huh? What is this? Who dropped the bowl?" Shen Wansha's voice suddenly came.

Lu Li was startled, and immediately pushed Zhao Zhu away.

Zhao Zhu smacked his lips, staring at Lu Li's lips with dissatisfaction.

Lu Li touched his lips subconsciously, and gasped with a 'hiss', it hurts too much!

It's still swollen!

Is Zhao Zhu a dog?Isn't it just a kiss, why is it biting!

Lu Li cleared his throat, straightened his clothes, and walked out from the corner.

"Little Lizi! Are you okay!" Shen Wansha ran over in a fuss.

He came back because he was worried about Lu Li's safety.When Zhao Zhu came to them just now, his expression was very wrong, but he refused to say anything, his heart was really uneasy.Seeing that Lu Li is fine now, he feels relieved, but... "What's wrong with your mouth?" It was brightly swollen, "Did you get poisoned!"

Lu Li's ears were slightly red, his face was turned to one side, his eyes were a little wandering, "Greedy, I ate too much chili."

"Oh..." This is what happens when you eat too much chili, Shen Wansha frowned and told his friends, "I know you like spicy food, but you have to have a degree, it's hot in summer, it's so dry, this is getting angry , I’ll get you a few side dishes to clear the fire tomorrow!”

Lu Li nodded, "Thank you."

"What can I say to thank you?" Seeing that Lu Li was fine, Shen Wansha turned around and was about to leave, "I have to be busy there, let's go first, you are on fire, go to bed early!"

Seeing Shen Wansha's furious look, Lu Li worried, "It's midnight, be careful!"

"Got it!" Shen Wansha raised his hands high and waved...

After Shen Wansha left, Lu Li and Zhao Zhu stared at each other, and the atmosphere was inexplicably... awkward.

Lu Li cleared his throat, "What happened?"

Zhao Zhu will go to confirm Yu Tianyi's matter and say it again, "You are not there when you come back, I thought something happened."

Lu Li laughed, "Why did something happen to me? What on earth are you thinking?"

"The people behind the scenes have a secret plan..."

"Then who do they know me? Who do they know you? What are they trying to do to murder us?" Lu Li patted Zhao Zhu's forehead with his fingers, "You scare yourself!"
