[Comprehensive] leaning on flowers and bamboo

The Eighth Sage King looked at the person in front of him, put down the teacup in his hand, shook hands and said, "For Gongsun Ce?"

Hua Manlou nodded, "Yes, for Gongsun Ce."

The Eight Sage King's pupils dilated for a moment, and he glanced at the empty courtyard, "I remember I saw you, and you were seated when I was in Luzhou last time."

"Hua is not talented, she never saluted the prince last time."

"Hey, this king has never liked those vain people. Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce are talents. Now is the time to employ people. Gongsun Ce was called into the palace. Why do you conclude that something must happen to him? The emperor is also a person who cherishes talents. .”

"If the lord also decides that the emperor will not embarrass Gongsun Ce, he will not receive me." Hua Manlou paused and said, "My lord, since Gongsun Ce is a talent, let him stay in a position that suits him, so that we can meet him." Play his best role, he is not Bao Zheng, nor will he become the second Bao Zheng."

Hearing that the Baxian King raised his eyebrows, he felt that the person in front of him was a bit interesting, "You know Gongsun Ce very well, but if you talk like this, it's a good thing that you are this king. If you are the emperor, your head may not be guaranteed."

"He has been in the palace for an hour."

"This king will accompany you on this trip, you go back to the inn and wait, Gongsun Ce... I will send it back intact."

"Thank you, my lord."

The Eighth Sage King stood up, ordered his followers to prepare the sedan chair, and walked out, "Your name is Huamanlou?"

Hua Manlou hesitated for a moment before answering, "Go back to the prince, yes."

"The Hua family... I have heard of it." Baxian Wang's faint words were like a stone thrown into the bottom of Huamanlou's heart, "It is fate that Gongsun Ce knows you. According to his temperament, few people can let him know you." Docile, even the emperor, he will deal with it with sharp edges, you are an exception."

These words made Hua Manlou feel that there was a sense of danger, so he restrained his expression and said, "Your Majesty is too worried."

"You are also a talent. With you by your side, Gongsun Ce can live longer."

Everyone knows that the court is very dangerous, dangerous and dangerous, even more vicious than the rivers and lakes. Under the calm weather, the dark tide is surging, and if you are not careful, your head will fall.But everyone is pushing Gongsun Ce into the vortex, just to hold other forces for a moment of peace.Hua Manlou walked outside the door, saluted the Eight Sage Kings, turned and left.

The bearer's voice came from behind, Hua Manlou shook his head and walked towards the inn.

Above the court, there is no room for negligence.

Back in the inn, Lu Xiaofeng and Ximen Chuuxue went nowhere and disappeared, only Bai Yutang saw him coming back, and immediately rushed up and asked, "Brother Hua, what did the Eight Sage Kings say?"

Hua Manlou still had a credible and reassuring smile on his face, "Eight Wise King enters the palace, don't worry, he will come back."

"Really?"

"You don't believe what I say?"

"That's not what it means, but Big Brother Gongsun..." Bai Yutang couldn't say anything, but felt that something changed after Gongsun Ce left.

Hua Manlou patted him on the shoulder, "Go back and wait, I should be back in half an hour."

"kindness."

Hua Manlou returned to the room and sat down.Bai Yutang glanced at the door, gently closed the door, and went back to his room.

The busy voices of the staff in the inn lobby and the noisy voices of the guests suddenly quieted down. The smile on the corner of Hua Manlou's mouth finally reached his eyes. After a while, he stood up and opened the door. A familiar breath appeared, "Are you back?"

"En." Gongsun Ce agreed, "Let's talk in the room."

"it is good."

When Gongsun Ce saw Huamanlou, he felt inexplicably at ease. The cautiousness and doubts and speculations he had just had in the palace all disappeared, leaving only relaxation, "The emperor decreed that I be appointed as Yushi Zhongcheng."

Hua Manlou, who was about to pour tea for Gongsun Ce, was taken aback, then resumed his movements, and put the teacup in front of Gongsun Ce, "You are like this, you have become a target."

"It was really a good move."

"Do you know the reason why the Baxian King and Grand Master Pang returned to Beijing?"

"The Liao Kingdom violates the border again, and I am afraid that the war that has just subsided will resume again."

"I can figure out why you have become a third-rank member at this time."

Gongsun Ce took a sip of his tea and put down his cup, "Soldiers come to block you, water comes to cover you, now take a step to watch, but you can't become a target for nothing."

Hua Manlou nodded, "That's right."

"Have you met the Eight Sage Kings?" Gongsun Ce said suddenly, "When the Eight Sage Kings came, I was planning to leave the palace."

"Eight Wise King is worthy of being the pillar of the country, but he is not completely helping you. If he really helps you, he will not persuade you to go to Beijing, but will put you far away like Bao Zheng, so that it will be safe. "

Hearing that Gongsun Ce had a wry smile on his lips, but it was fleeting, "Bao Zheng is different from me, and I'm not Bao Zheng either." He paused before continuing, "Flowers are all over the building, what's next is going to be a dragon's pond and a tiger's lair , if you stay with me, there is no turning back."

"If I wanted to turn back, I wouldn't have followed you to Xiangyang when I was in Yangzhou."

Gongsun Ce smiled, his eyes were shining like stars, "I said something to my mother that day."

"Aunt underground will understand."

"You're so confident again, and you guessed it again, it's so boring." Gongsun Ce curled his lips, "This is the most unfilial thing in my life, but now that I have reached this point, I have already cut off my way back, so I can only move forward."

Hua Manlou filled up the tea for Gongsun Ce, and said with a smile: "Young Master Gongsun promises a thousand pieces of gold, and he will never lie about what he has said."

"What about the Playboy?"

"Naturally."

This time in the capital, the situation was complicated, but the two of them were more relaxed than before.

Gongsun Ce stretched himself, stood up, and walked towards the bed, "Lu Xiaofeng and Ximen Chuuxue haven't come back yet?"

"They have always been erratic, and they will naturally appear when they want to appear."

"That's true." After finishing speaking, Gongsun Ce looked back at Hua Manlou who also got up, "Hua Manlou, thank you." In one sentence, there was a meaning that only two people could understand.

For some reason, in Beijing, the two always keep a candle at night.When the room was dark, Gongsun Ce sat on the edge of the bed and untied the black hairband on his head, stared blankly at Hua Manlou who was taking off his coat, and said in a daze, "We've known each other... for half a year. "

"kindness."

"How fast the days go."

Gongsun Ce lifted the quilt and shrank in. The night in early spring was still chilly. With his hands on his pillow, Gongsun Ce looked at Huamanlou who was only wearing a jacket. The not-so-bright light cast shadows on Huamanlou's face, but more handsome.For some reason, I remembered Lu Xiaofeng's words - Huamanlou is more handsome than me, and you are more beautiful than me.

His eyes darkened, and his throat felt a little dry.

"how?"

"Ah? It's nothing, just... go to sleep." Gongsun Ce quickly put down his hands, rolled up his quilt and turned his back to Huamanlou.

As soon as he closed his eyes, his head was filled with the sound of Hua Manlou's breathing on the side of his neck that day, sticky and...bewitching.Gongsun Ce groaned in annoyance, feeling that he had been abstaining from desires for more than [-] years, but stumbled here at Huamanlou, and unexpectedly had unspeakable desires.

Hua Manlou got into another quilt, approached him and whispered, "What are you thinking?"

"I was thinking..." Before Gongsun Ce finished speaking, he was caught off guard by Hua Manlou and took him directly under the quilt. He was hugged and lay on top of him, his head dizzy and dizzy.

"Ace—"

Staring at Hua Manlou's eyebrows, Gongsun Ce seemed to be bewitched, and slid his cold fingertips on his brows, "You are really handsome..." After finishing speaking, he leaned over and kissed, the warm feeling made Gongsun Ce's mind became even more chaotic, and he couldn't help biting Huamanlou's lower lip, and looked up at his reaction.

Hua Manlou didn't know why Gongsun Ce was acting like this all of a sudden, but the temperature from his body gradually rose, and his body overlapped with only two thin layers of clothes, and he raised his head slightly and whispered against his ear, "You know what you are doing?" what?"

"I..." Gongsun Ce woke up a little bit, left a little, stared at Huamanlou for a while, didn't speak, but imitated Huamanlou's last time when he went in from the hem of his clothes, touched a warm and firm place, and simply buried his head in Huamanlou. On the side of Lou's neck, "Continue what was interrupted last time... I, I won't, but it's not that I don't know."

The frank words are like when a child admits a mistake, there is a hint of anger, which makes Hua Manlou laugh out of his throat, his chest trembles, and he turns over to Gongsun Ce, puts his hands beside him, "Leave it to me."

Huamanlou is not a person who doesn't know about love, but he just doesn't want Lu Xiaofeng to be romantic and affectionate.

When the lips were pressed together again, they were no more domineering and forceful than the gentle wind and drizzle just now, asking for more of what they wanted.Gongsun Ce turned over and lay on his stomach with his eyes closed, "You..."

After taking off his clothes, he became more awake when the coldness hit him, and the stimulation of his senses became more obvious.

There was a lot of dampness on the shoulders, and the hand in front of him untied his belt and got in. Before Gongsun Ce could open his eyes, a low moan escaped from his throat.

"Seven children..."

The person on the back was stunned, and the strength increased, causing Gongsun Ce to turn his head and stare at Huamanlou in pain.

'bang bang bang-'

"Who!"

"Brother Hua, it's me, Zhan Zhao is here, there's something urgent!"

"Brother Gongsun, are you in there? Something happened to Brother Bao!"

Gongsun Ce opened his eyes, the warmth receded from his body, and before he recovered, he was pulled to sit down by Hua Manlou.When he came back to his senses, Huamanlou had already helped him put on his clothes, and he was also putting on his coat, "Huamanlou... Bao Zheng—"

"Don't panic, nothing will happen."

Hearing this, Gongsun Ce shook his head and finally came to his senses. Seeing that Huamanlou had been tidied up, he went to open the door, looked at Zhan Zhao and said, "What's the matter, what's the matter?"

Zhan Zhao's face was full of anxiety, and his eyes were red when he saw Gongsun Ce, "Brother Gongsun, Brother Bao, they are gone..."

Bao Zheng, are you missing?
