Forbidden City of Heze + Dalufei

The night wind in spring passes through the fingertips, the moon is looming in the floating clouds, and the dew soaks the whole back, bringing a heart-warming coolness.However, what attracted his attention the most was the weight of this person and his fiery breath.

Qi Luo was lying on the grass, his mind was a little confused, he didn't know how all this happened, Jun Liu was holding his face uncontrollably, kissing him desperately, not giving him a chance to say a word at all.

After getting off the needle leaf with an empty fuel tank, it was already late at night, and Junliu's pace was obviously a little unsteady, and the discomfort of airsickness made him dizzy.Playing too much, Zi Luo thought a little guilty, and quickly stepped forward to help him walk back slowly.They walked through the empty teaching buildings and took a shortcut into the green belt covered with black tree shadows. Without warning, Junliu suddenly pushed him into a hidden bush on the side of the road.

The two fell down on the wet meadow. The black-haired young man who liked to play tricks had no intention of beating around the bush, so he held him down and gave him a series of passionate kisses.

Zi Luo opened his eyes slightly, perhaps because he was infected by this uncontrollable emotion. He didn't stop the other party, allowing this extremely intimate contact to continue. Although it was abnormal, he didn't hate it at all.In his impoverished childhood, even the stars under the night sky seemed too bustling, and his sister kissed his upturned cheek like this.

Not long after, the skin touched the cool white teeth of the other party, and they were biting his neck and protruding collarbone lightly. Only then did Zilo realize that the collar of the uniform had been torn apart by more than half, and he moved because of the unbearable itching. This seemed to be understood as some kind of signal, Junliu's movements were obviously much bolder, and his hands began to reach into his clothes to grope.Zi Luo looked at this mischievous cub lying on him with amused eyes—animals that are not fully mature always like to find some provocations to fight with their companions, so as to relieve loneliness.

"Hey, that's enough." He couldn't help but push his forehead with his hand, "You are an adult and you still like to play this? You used to lose to me every time you wrestled, didn't I let you go? Don't be so Hold the grudge, today is evened, right?"

Junliu grabbed his hand, pressed it roughly to the ground, and pressed his body against it.There was a dark fire in the dark eyes looking down on him.

"Wake up, little girl," he licked his teeth, "I'll make you pregnant today."

"what?"

At the same time that Qi Luo's hair stood on end, Junliu's hand reached under his crotch, stroking the secret territory vigorously, and the other hand began to pull the belt between his crotch.

Being teased so unscrupulously by his friend who was three years younger, Qi Luo suddenly lost his temper. He grabbed Junliu's right arm, and with a force from his waist and legs, he twisted him to the ground and fell up and down.Junliu saw that the opponent was getting more aggressive, but he was so competitive that he had no intention of stopping. Without saying a word, he swung a punch firmly. Kicked, and after being hit by the opponent's knee on the side, he fell into the deeper grass next to him.

Zi Luo never thought of escalating the situation at all, but he was not allowed to speak a complete sentence. Junliu had already jumped up and wrestled with him. With real fighting skills, every move is extremely fierce.

The soldiers who have been on the front line for three years are still highly skilled after all. When Junliu realized that even if he was serious, the opponent's strength was still reserved. In desperation, he pulled out the dress with a knife pinned to his waist.

"Hey... wait, that thing is not a joke!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Zi Luo quickly took a step back, wanting the other party to let it go.

But Junliu had already rushed over, brandishing the murder weapon.After Zi Luo dodged his blade three times in a row, he accidentally tripped over the demon.He fell into a dizzy situation for a while, focused his attention on the shining silver dagger dangling in front of his eyes, and did not act rashly.

Junliu turned over quickly, panted and sat on him, without the slightest shame left by this unfair competition on his face, instead he deliberately touched the cold blade to his bare neck, and the tip slowly slid After that old scar, he teased and said, "Either let me rob you obediently, or I will add a new one here for you?"

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you learning something at such a young age? You're such a rascal." Zi Luo sighed, not nervous at all, but lay down peacefully with his head on his pillow. "You weren't like this before I left."

"What is it like?" Junliu asked with interest as he put the tip of the knife on the button on his uniform chest.

"Hmm...much cuter than now," Ziluo rolled his eyes and described it poorly, "very kind, and treats me very well."

"Then do you like me better at that time?" Junliu asked softly, the smile across his face was as attractive as honey, he leaned down as he spoke, and unbuttoned his dress and the shirt inside one by one until he was naked Showing half of her smooth chest, "Okay, if it's your first time, I can be below."

"Huh?" Ziluo was stunned again.

"Are you still virgin? I don't worry about your comrades in the front line." He then asked without hesitation, with a provocative tone in his deep voice, "How did you solve it there? Surely Is there a lot of backlog?"

"I said," Zi Luo looked dumbfounded, and simply sat up, pulled Junliu's open clothes with his hands, and helped him fasten a few buttons, his eyes regained some seriousness, "I No matter what you think of me, Junliu, I won't do this to you."

"Why?" Junliu looked straight at him, "I want to have sex with you."

"Not anyone you like can become this kind of relationship." Zi Luo's voice felt a little hard, "In my heart, your meaning far exceeds the definition of this relationship, and I don't want to become like this , I don’t look at you with this kind of eyes.”

"What do you mean that anyone I like can become this kind of relationship?" Junliu's expression turned cold, and his speech speed also accelerated, "You think I'm someone who does this casually? Do you think Did I fall in love with you on a whim?"

"You know I don't mean that." Zilo replied helplessly.

"This is what I feel from the bottom of my heart, what's the problem?"

"Yes, but it must be expressed in a way that both people agree with." He hesitated, but said, "Don't be angry, I really doubt whether you know other ways of expressing besides going to bed , after all, Long Fei has had too much influence on you, and you have never come out."

"So he screwed my brains out?"

"Junliu!"

"You don't have the right to say that about me, you guy with a sister-in-law complex." Junliu was really angry, and replied unceremoniously, "I know you are only interested in your gentle and kind Azi."

Junliu thought that this trump card that had been treasured for a long time would be as effective as before, which made the young man's face red and white.Just as he was about to see his complete surrender, the next second, the smug expression on the corner of his mouth froze.

Qi Luo, who was silent, suddenly had a trace of sadness that he had never seen before, and his originally bright eyes suddenly dimmed. All this was as slight as a fallen leaf floating on the water, silent but so worrying.Jun Liu was stunned, that fleeting expression seemed to hide an unspeakable pain, which made people feel cold in the bottom of their hearts.

"I'm very tired today, let's go back."

The quarrel came to an abrupt end, and Zi Luo didn't say anything else. He got up quietly, patted the grass clippings stuck to his underwear, and when he handed Junliu his hand, his face was as peaceful as usual, and he couldn't look at him anymore. What is superfluous.

It seemed that the banquet had been over for a long time. Scattered guests walked out of the gate with distant laughter, and only a few waiters were left in the room cleaning up the remaining tableware.The two had just reached the bottom of the steps when they were stopped by a tall soldier waiting at the door.

"Your Highness," he immediately greeted him, bowed slightly towards Junliu, pointed to a black car parked not far away, and said, "Your Majesty and the others have already set off for home, and told me to pick you up here, please get in the car Bar."

"Okay," Junliu agreed, then turned to Qiluo and said, "Xiaoluo, this is Xiaoyi, father's attendant, who is usually in charge of some daily affairs at home."

"Sorry, I came back so late." Only then did Zi Luo notice that the military rank on the man's shoulders was higher than his own, and he immediately saluted respectfully, with an embarrassing smile on his face, and looked at the man in front of him. A man more than ten years older than him, he has a steady expression without showing a trace of sharpness, but the small twelve-pointed star-shaped badge on his chest is particularly eye-catching.This is the logo of the highest-ranking Royal Guards. They are the special group closest to the royal family among all military positions. They are not subject to any system, but obey the orders of the king unconditionally. The king's confidants are not exaggerated.

"No, thank you for sending him here." The man reached out to shake his hand in a friendly manner, with a humble attitude and no airs. "You don't have to be so polite, major. We have met before, but we have never had the opportunity to formally know each other."

"By the way, you were hospitalized three years ago, including going to the military court. When it was inconvenient for us to come forward, it was Xiaoyi who took care of it. He is quite familiar with your situation." Junliu added.

"I didn't even know that," Zilo held his hand and bowed shamefully, "Thank you so much!"

"You're welcome, I'm just a person who carries out orders. The ones who are really helping you are Your Majesty and Madam." He still replied modestly.

"Xiao Yi, he will go back with us tonight, you should tell the servant to clean up a guest room and come out right away?"

"No, no need," Qi Luo hurriedly stopped him when he heard this, "Instructor Lu has already arranged a dormitory for me, it's fine for me to live in school tonight..."

"This weekend is my coming-of-age ceremony," Junliu hurriedly grabbed his hand, insisting in an undeniable tone, "When the time comes, you will come to watch the ceremony early in the morning, right? It will be more convenient to stay at my house. "

Zi Luo showed embarrassment, he could no longer bear the obstructive style just after eating a meal, imagining being in that upper-class shackle for several days in a row would definitely make him nervous.He is used to being informal when alone with Junliu, but once he meets his parents who are wearing a halo of dignity, he has to be cautious.

"If you weren't in a hurry to serve in the military back then, Madam also mentioned that she must invite you to her house as a guest. I think they all want to see you again." Xiaoyi quickly understood his concerns and said with relief, " Please don't think about it too complicated, it's just an ordinary family inviting their children's friends, as for the arranged dormitory, I will ask someone to cancel it."

With no reason to continue to refuse, Zi Luo took his luggage from the cloakroom on one side of the banquet hall, got into the same car with Jun Liu, and drove out of the Royal Military Academy slowly.The abstract painting-like black shadow on the tree-lined road crawled into the car along the wheels rubbing against the ground, mixing with the light scent of the perfume under the windshield, from the initial hazy soothing to the thick hypnosis.Not long after he got on the smooth and smooth highway, Qi Luo, who had been running all day, couldn't bear the weight of his eyes, and fell asleep drowsily on Junliu's shoulder.

The breath of spring rushing to cover the entire Eastern Continent seemed to have stopped in advance in the ancient capital, and the tall and dense skeletons of the two rows of deciduous trees on the roadside were already stained with new greenery.Yixu just got out of the car when the thin sunlight hit his shoulders. He took a sealed document bag and stopped under the fountain in the center of the front square. , On the gravel path that is rarely disturbed by people, squirrels and birds are fighting for food.

He took a deep breath. Although the Lake Meilie in the Royal Military Academy has the same scenery as here, the water drawn from the Rimei River has the smell of moss under the foot of the old house, after all, it has a sense of belonging to hometown.

Yixuan intentionally bypassed the main road leading directly to his destination, and stepped on a winding path among lawns and bushes. Even a sparrow that was not afraid of people beside the road could make him hum happily. Without having fun, a stone wall covered with vines appeared at the end of the green shade.

Xiaxi Garden seems to be a post station of time, and every scenery has the imprint of history.Before the new king moved the capital, it used to be a small-scale palace, built in a scenic town only as a summer resort for the royal family, but now it is the heart of Heze's political center.

As soon as Yixu stepped up the neat white stone steps in front of the main house and entered the elegant front hall with daffodils, an old woman who was cleaning the white window edges by the door approached with a smile.

"Peng Si, are you in good health?" Yi Xu greeted the elderly housekeeper, took off his hat and coat and hung them on the coat rack by the door, "The grade is not too young, these tasks Can't you leave it to the servants?"

"The foyer is the face of this house. They do things with careless hands and can't clean them!" She lifted up the glasses hanging on the tip of her nose, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes piled up, "Thanks to you, there are so many excellent soldiers Stationed on the front line, my old bones eat well and sleep soundly, so I can do my work."

After saying hello to her, Yi Xu stepped into the bright daytime living room on the first floor with steady steps, his eyes wandered around due to the alienation that he hadn't visited for a long time.Over the freshly wooded fireplace hangs a huge embroidered rug, the colors of which have faded with time, still recalling its original splendor.The portrait in the middle of the embroidered carpet is him, Yizheng, and Shuya's common father, a well-known monarch, the last king who was praised by the National Association as "the glory of the sages". The expression on his face is reserved but not arrogant, just like Like a patriarch full of authority, not a symbol of royal authority.Yi Xu seemed to be able to understand why this was the only souvenir that his eldest brother took away from home.

However, it is not very lucky to be in politics after such a halo-shrouded senior.

Yixuan turned around and walked towards the French windows half covered by the red velvet curtains. He couldn't help speeding up his pace, turned the rose-shaped doorknob, and came to the wooden platform facing the courtyard.

"Looking at your breezy face, there must be something good going on?"

Yizheng put down the newspaper in his hand calmly, looking at the discordant note breaking into the quiet morning reading, with a slightly swaying tree shadow on his face.

Yixu couldn't wait to pull out a letter from the folder in his hand and put it on the small glass round table in front of him, then sat down on the wicker chair, "This is a formal request for peace talks, and it goes against the requirements of the military department of the capital. The seal and Queen Anlie's autograph arrived at the National Assembly early this morning, and I just got it from Bourne."

"Do you think I will know about such an important matter one step later than you?" Yizheng was not moved as he expected, and he just took a sip of the black tea in front of him calmly.

"I was skeptical when I first heard the news. I didn't expect her to be so stubborn this time! This is the first time in the history of conquests in the capital that she took the initiative to ask for peace." Different from what my brother is used to Emotion and anger were invisible, Yi Xu couldn't hold back his excitement for a long time.After more than ten years of relentless fighting, why is it not pleasant to finally see the enemy showing weakness? "Since they propose a settlement first, the format of the negotiations will work in our favor."

"It's hard to say. If she doesn't take advantage of it, she will definitely hold on to our northern border area." Yizheng said as he raised the newspaper in his hand, the expression on his face was not as relaxed as it was a few days ago. "Although the northern area is sparsely populated, there are abundant resources under the land. All these years of colonial experience are not in vain. It is not glorious to shake hands with the invaders before driving them out of the Eastern Continent." thing."

"We can't be in a hurry, and we can't reduce a single soldier on the front line. Dudu is like a greedy animal. You can't use paper and pen to make the animal remember. If you don't use a gunpowder gun to beat it hard, the next time he is hungry, he will die. I'm still thinking about the meat in your house."

At this time, the glass door was pushed open, and Yu Qing, who was wearing a beige long dress, leaned out, holding a pot of fresh boiling water in her hand, she hadn't applied makeup, and she hadn't had time to wear an accessory, like a girl who just came out of the water As elegant as white lotus.

"Early in the morning, wouldn't it be good to talk about some light talk?" She put the cup with tea leaves in front of Yixuan, saw his empty hands, and said with a smile, "Tomorrow is Junliu's coming-of-age ceremony, you How can you come here without a gift?"

"I rushed here early in the morning, and I will go to the city to buy later, and I don't know what to give as a gift."

"There is a shortage of supplies in the capital now," Yizheng said as he got up, and the gentleman pulled a chair beside him for his wife to sit down, continuing his unsmiling style of speaking, "The price of cigarettes and alcohol is more than three times the usual price , books and metalwork are ridiculously expensive, don't waste your time."

"Where's Junliu? You haven't woken up yet?" The morning tea that the whole family drank together lacked the little master. Yixuan asked casually, and the shadow of another person suddenly appeared in his mind, "By the way, didn't Qi Luo stay here a few days ago? Have you come here? You haven’t entertained overnight guests here for a long time, right?”

"They went to the city to play early in the morning. By the way, they participated in the rehearsal of the ceremony. Junliu will be the protagonist of tomorrow." Yu Qing added some sugar to the teacup, stirred it leisurely with a small spoon, and followed her face A rose-colored brilliance appeared, "Speaking of Zi Luo, he is really likable. He is the son of my dreams. He is a little shy but very polite, and he speaks softly. He seems to be a very obedient type. I can't imagine being a good fighter."

"You will be angry when you see Junliu so differently. When he went to study at the Royal Military Academy, whoever followed him all the way cried and refused to let him get off?"

"That kid was so cute before he was 12 years old. Anyone who saw him wanted to abduct him. Now that he has reached the rebellious stage, he doesn't pay attention to me at all." Yu Qing touched his face, sighed leisurely, and deliberately turned away. He glanced over at Yizheng, "The personality is so awkward that I don't know who he looks more and more like. Probably no one likes him in school, so he never brought friends home before, and he didn't even invite classmates to play on his birthday. What a shame. Lonely child."

"Brother, what about you? Didn't you always say you wanted to see him?"

"I saw him in the hospital three years ago, but at that time his whole body was wrapped up one layer at a time, and he didn't look like a human being at all." He kept his opinion calmly, looked into his younger brother's interested eyes, and slowly Said, "My bedroom and study are far away from them, and I only meet each other at mealtimes, and I don't have time to talk. But when I see them, I think of you when you brought Long Fei to our house .”

The smile on Yixu's face could not be fully unfolded, and the two fell silent. After a long silence, Yizheng's faint sigh sounded, "This place looks prominent, but it's actually not very popular. Someone comes occasionally, I will never forget it for a long time."

The atmosphere suddenly became a little heavy.Yixuan raised his voice, deliberately drawing his attention away from the lingering gloom, "Don't worry, that child is much cuter than Longfei, and Junliu has a better eye for making friends than us."

"I have no doubts about this," Yoshiaki narrowed his eyes slightly under the hot sun, and replied frankly, "Even as a father, I couldn't do my best, but he did. To get a Such a friend is Junliu's great fortune, I hope he has the ability to cherish it, and don't be like me."

Yixuan was completely speechless.He looked at Yu Qing with eyes begging for help, but the other party immediately made a grimace, and stuck out his tongue helplessly.

"It's your brother's specialty to be able to be silent no matter what topic you pick up. Why did I marry such a boring man?"

He thought of Yuqing's complaints to him more than once, and he wanted to laugh.

Fortunately, Yizheng didn't care about the silence, and he leaned his head on the back of the chair after speaking, as if he wanted to take a break after reading for a long time.The three of them stopped talking, just sipping tea quietly, turning their eyes to the courtyard full of spring, enjoying the rare leisure.A gust of refreshing wind passed by, and the light and shadow on the wooden terrace suddenly became clear, as if the residents in the sky turned on the main light in the living room, and the dazzling brilliance benefited them who were still crawling and groping in the world.

If the people are the lambs of God, the shepherd who wields the guiding whip is equivalent to the status of a demigod, but as the person who has been with the king for the longest time, Yoshitsugu deeply knows that his brother is a mortal, Had been teased by fate into a mess.That's why he admired each other, even though they disagreed on many things.

When Junliu returned to Heze, Yizheng went to the airport to greet him in person. He gave his son who had gone through hardships a hug, but he didn't give any explanation or comfort from beginning to end.

"You know what? Many times I've wondered, why should I care about these people? I'm just a temporary parent in this country. I don't know what kind of people they are. Even if these strangers die Tens of thousands, I don’t feel it. But Junliu is my son, and I would be overwhelmed with pain to lose him. Even...even if this country falls, so what? Maybe the life of being colonized is a little difficult, but it won’t It's harder than continuing the war."

This is what Yoshinori said to Yoshizuru on the phone late at night after the live TV broadcast of the prince's death was announced, and the phone hung up after finishing speaking.Yixuan knew that it was the moment when his elder brother broke down emotionally. He didn't tell his wife beside him, and he didn't even choose to talk to him face to face.

Whether it was forming an alliance with Dalufei, deciding to marry his younger sister Shuya, or announcing the death of his son himself, this man made a decision that went against his own feelings every time. He knew how difficult it was, but Yizheng There is no evasion or hesitation, just walking silently while carrying out the obligation to make a decision.

Among the many members of the family, the elder brother is not the smartest and most capable, but he is a well-deserved king, Yoshitsugu thought.Although heroic characters who only know how to dedicate themselves are cute, they are not enough to lead them to victory. Only those who can calmly weigh the pros and cons and dare to bear the sins can take on the responsibility of the king.

It's a pity that those who were deeply hurt because of this were originally his closest people. Would it be impossible for him to forgive him for the rest of his life?Yixuan once again thought of Longfei, which made his heart tighten again. The man never saw Yizheng again until his death. Did he ever understand and feel relieved about him in so many years of estrangement? ?

I don't know how long the answer to this question will hang over his heart like a dark cloud.He couldn't help raising a bitter smile, looking at Yizheng's unmoved side face, which was covered with warm light gold under the morning light, like a still plaster statue.Only then did he remember that it had been a long time since he had seen his brother smile from the heart. Such an expression seemed to have been removed from his personality forever.
