Qi Kuo

By the time the letter was completed, it was already late at night. Under the influence of the medicine, Zhao Jun yawned, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, and then secretly opened the door and went out.

The moon is in the middle of the sky, and the thin and dense moonlight is gentle and suffocating. The silvery light falls on the plants in the garden, and the courtyard illuminated is like a fairyland in the sky, charming and intoxicating.

Zhao Jun walked lightly into the garden, pulled out the lychees from the well, stretched out his hands and took out a large handful, put them aside, and gently put down the bucket containing the lychees.

He sneaked back into the room with a large handful of lychees, put them on the table before closing the door, and then pressed against the door and exhaled.

He picked two greener lychees, took out a dagger, and slowly cut them in half. After peeling off the shells, he put them on the window sill. After putting them away, he sat back at the table, While peeling the remaining lychees, I waited for the shells to dry.

After he finished eating the lychee, he looked at the color of the shell and thought it was pretty good, and it should fit in the envelope, so he took it back, carefully put it in the envelope, and smiled: "In this case, this letter feels much heavier! "

After sealing the letter with wax, he blew out the candle, went to the bed and lay down.

After waking up the next morning, Zhao Jun straightened his hair, took the letter on the table, went out and handed it to the butler for him to deliver.

The housekeeper took the letter with both hands, and said with a smile: "Young Master Zhao, you don't need to be so polite. The young lady said that if you have anything to do, you can ask us to do it. You don't have to be so formal. Besides, the young lady has no airs with us on weekdays, so the young lady It doesn't have to be."

Zhao Jun smiled slightly: "That's fine, thank you, old man."

The butler took the letter and sent someone to deliver it. Before leaving, he told him that if there was something urgent, he could leave first. The young lady said, don't tell her, she asked you to take the medicine with you when you leave, and there are lychees in the well to eat with you. And took it away.

Zhao Jun thanked him, went to the back kitchen to get the things he had already prepared, and took a basket of lychees handed over by the servant, and said, "Thank you, please help me tell Sister Li Lan that I'm leaving first, I haven't seen anything for two days. Reported to the general, said sorry to her for me, did not have time to say goodbye."

The servant nodded, opened the door for him, and asked him: "Master, do you need us to find someone to help you deliver the things?"

Zhao Jun shook his head: "No, thank you."

The servant didn't say anything more, and after sending him out, he turned around and closed the door.

When Zhao Jun knocked on the door with his hand holding the medicine, he saw Chen Ke coming to open the door with his hair disheveled and exhaustion written all over his face. His eyes lit up when he saw him, and then his face turned cold again, and he said, "Where is that?" went?!"

Zhao Jun shook the still cool lychee in front of Chen Ke, and said, "Look! It's very delicious."

Chen Ke looked at so many lychees, so he stretched out his hand to take them, and let Zhao Jun in. He closed the door and said, "You have to carry it back when it's so heavy. Can you be nice to yourself?"

Zhao Jun didn't even turn his head. He put the medicine in his hand on the table and said, "I don't think you have taken this kind of medicine before, so I brought it for you. Don't take it."

He turned around and made a gesture to snatch the lychee from Chen Ke's hand. Chen Ke realized his intention, so he raised his hand to hold the lychee high, but refused to let him take it.

Zhao Jun looked at him indifferently: "Don't you despise him?"

Chen Ke walked around him hahaha: "No, why would I dislike the things my family Zhao Jun brought back?!"

In fact, it's not the so-called disgust, it's just that it's too heavy, and I think it's hard for him to carry it.

But when I heard that it was specifically brought back to him, I felt elated, and the constant worries and worries in the past two days seemed to be swept away.

Zhao Jun was taken aback when he heard the word my family, and then said, "Really?"

Chen Ke smiled and untied the basket, took out a lychee, peeled it off, handed it to Zhao Jun's lips, and said, "Yes."

One is taken for granted, and the other is picturesque.

Zhao Jun's lips are pink, and the clear lychee is placed on the lips, which is elegant but undeniably strong.

Chen Ke moved his Adam's apple inexplicably, and Zhao Jun didn't realize anything, so he opened his mouth and ate with Chen Ke's hand, his lips slightly brushed against Chen Ke's fingertips.

Chen Ke pursed his lips, threw away the few shells left in his hand, peeled another one for himself, and put it in his mouth, wondering why today's lychees are so sweet...

He looked at the medicine that Zhao Jun brought back, and suddenly got up, looked at Zhao Jun up and down, and finally said like a cannonball: "What's wrong with you?! What's going on?! Are you injured?!"

Zhao Jun shook his head, pushed him on the seat, and said, "I'm fine, you don't have to worry."

Chen Ke looked at him: "You better be fine."

Zhao Jun felt that his tone was not right, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

Chen Ke shook his head suddenly: "It's nothing." He peeled another lychee and handed it to him, but this time he didn't put it on Zhao Jun's lips, and Zhao Jun reached out to take it by himself.

In the evening, Chen Ke received a letter with only a few words, but it clearly expressed the sender's situation.

Letter: The condition is good, no doubts yet.

Chen Ke took the letter and went to the study to reply. Zhao Jun looked at his back in a daze.

Not long after, Chen Ke didn't come back, but welcomed an unexpected guest.

Zhao Jun's face froze, and then he smiled slightly: "Prime Minister."

Seeing that it was Zhao Jun, Jiang Buqing didn't have any objections. Shi Shiran found a seat and sat down, and then ordered Zhao Jun, "Serve tea... by the way, where is your general?"

Zhao Jun walked up to the front of the table and poured a cup of tea for Jiang Buqing, then said: "The general has something to do, so I can't come to entertain the Prime Minister for the time being, Prime Minister forgive me."

Jiang Buqing took a sip of the teacup, then put it down, and said, "Could it be the general who looks down on my old bone?"

Zhao Jun's expression remained the same, but he just said in a correct manner: "The prime minister is joking, the general is busy with military affairs recently, and being troubled by the prime minister has made the general extremely distressed."

After his words, Jiang Buqing had nothing to say, and he had a high opinion of this young man in his heart.

So he asked, "Are you willing to follow me?"

Zhao Jun sneered from the bottom of his heart, with a gentle face on his face: "Prime Minister, don't tease me. It's already very good to follow the general, so I don't dare to climb high."

Jiang Buqing wanted to say something at first, but Chen Ke pushed the door open with a smile, and immediately said as soon as he entered: "Prime Minister is here this time, please forgive Chen Ke for not being well received, for being too far away, and sometimes too far away."

Jiang Buqing put on a smiling face, stood up and said, "Shen Ke was joking, why do you and I talk about these things, it's out of our league."

Chen Ke catered to Jiang Buqing's pace, and on the one hand signaled Zhao Jun to go down, lest he get involved in this muddy water.

Zhao Jun obediently exited the living room and walked towards the backyard.

As soon as he stepped into the backyard, an arrow wiped his face with a strong wind and went straight into the wood behind him.

He turned sideways to remove the arrow and the note on it.

The familiar handwriting on it read eloquently: Tomorrow at three quarters noon, half smoked.In the end, there is a neat and tidy Shanghan Moxuan in the lower left corner.

Zhao Jun put away the note, walked out of the yard, opened the door, and walked towards the old man selling fruit on the street.

After Jiang Buqing came out of the yard, he looked at Chen Ke lovingly with a smile on his face: "There is no need to send Shen Ke off, my sedan chair is outside."

Chen Ke looked outside, and he really saw the car sedan he usually sat in, so he smiled and cupped his hands: "Then respect is worse than obedience."

The moment Jiang Buqing turned around, the expression on his face changed suddenly, and he stepped into the car and said coldly: "Let's go!"

Immediately, the housekeeper standing beside the car said, "Get up the sedan chair! Go home!"

Chen Ke let out a sigh of relief, watched him go away, and the person he saw walked away, and said in a low voice, "I'm exhausted."

Zhao Jun heard Chen Ke's words just as he walked beside him, so he said, "What did you say?"

Chen Ke looked at the things in his hands, and Zhao Jun handed them over, which was very natural.

No one paid attention to this matter, Chen Ke just said: "It's okay, but we may go to the army in a few days, you pack it yourself, go to the street to buy pastries and other things, so as not to eat it on the mountain Well, there is nothing to satisfy my hunger."

Zhao Jun nodded, and didn't think there was anything wrong, on the contrary, he thought it was very reasonable.

He followed Chen Ke in, and after walking a few steps, he handed the note to Chen Ke and said, "What do you think of the note Mo Xuan gave me just now?"

Chen Ke opened the note and looked at it, and finally frowned and whispered: "Shanghan Moxuan? Is he the son of Shanghan King?"

Zhao Jun nodded: "Well, he told me that I didn't come back last time."

Chen Ke suddenly crumpled the note into a ball, sat upright, looked at Zhao Jun, and said, "Why did he tell you about this? What did you go out for? What is your relationship?"

Zhao Jun was stunned for a long time before he said: "It's nothing, it's natural to say that."

In fact, he felt that Chen Ke's reaction was very strange. Obviously at this time, shouldn't the normal reaction be to think about what to do?What does this have to do with his relationship with Mo Xuan.

But he won't say it.

Silent and still.

Chen Ke sighed: "You go, first see what he is going to do, as for the rest, you can decide by yourself."

In fact, he is a little worried. After all, Zhao Jun has never seen how chaotic the royal family of Shanghan is, but he knows that the children who can survive are not very simple. He wants to follow Zhao Jun, but the current situation seems Well, the relationship between Mo Xuan and Zhao Jun is not something he can get in.

Just like sometimes between him and Zhao Jun, no one else can come in.

Some things, like people drinking water, know whether they are warm or not.

Zhao Jun reached out and took a lychee and put it in his hand. His thumb and index finger turned around while holding it, and said, "If possible, I should get in touch with him in depth."

He didn't continue talking, but he hoped that Chen Ke could understand what he said.

A thought flashed through Chen Ke's mind, but he didn't catch it, so he said, "Okay...be careful."

Zhao Jun hummed, peeled off the lychee, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.

Perhaps the sun will be even brighter tomorrow.

The next day was a cloudy day, the sun didn't want to show his face, shyly hiding behind the thick dark clouds, he didn't even want to let out a little sunshine.

Zhao Jun pushed open the door of the private room on the second floor of Banyanju, and was stunned leisurely when he saw what was inside.

The author has something to say:

I think we should be prepared for Chen Ke's frequent absence...
