Your Majesty, come back

Chu Yue's furrowed brows showed his impatience, he handed the longbow in his hand to the attendant beside him, his thin lips moved lightly, without anger but with authority: "Go back."

The steed under Chu Yue's crotch suddenly became irritable at this time. The well-trained war horse was pawing the ground non-stop at this moment, raising its front hooves as if it had been greatly frightened, kicking up strands of dust. The guards around him hurried forward to appease it. The out-of-control war horse had little effect. Chu Yue waved back the guards around him. He had his own way of taming the horse. After half a stick of incense, the horse finally returned to normal. An inexplicable shock rose from the soles of his feet.

The strange sense of panic made his hands and feet freeze, as if he was alone in the wilderness, and the guilty conscience of not knowing where to go made him tighten the reins. The corpse in front of him maintained a kneeling posture, Chu Yue withdrew his gaze, and Clamp the horse's belly, rein in the horse and turn around.

"My lord! I found the Nanban witch!"

Ruan Jin rode backwards to catch up with Chu Yue, in a hurry, followed by several spies: "The subordinates have already captured them, if the prince wants to interrogate him, he can interrogate him at any time, but it's a bit strange that the captured people did not include the Nanman king. "

"Oh?"

"My subordinates will search for a while, my lord, look—"

"You are fully responsible, this king suddenly feels uneasy, and wants to go back to see the emperor's brother."

Five days later, the Chu army returned to court.

There is a big river between Nanman and Daqing, and there was no flood when they came, so the army could easily cross it, but there was a flood when they returned, so the army had to detour and march eastward.The Chu army defeated the Nanman, and now they are victorious and returning to the court. Naturally, the whole army is full of joy and joy.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the army was stationed by the river bank, ready to rest for one night before continuing to move forward. The huge and mighty army stretched endlessly along the edge of the river. The campfire illuminated the ground, and the bonfire ignited. Countless tents sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. , Looking around is a vast expanse of bright white.

Chu Yue was carrying the food box at this time, walking briskly, with a happy face, and a rare look of joy on the corners of his brows and eyes. Several generals were roasting meat by the campfire, and they couldn't help joking when they saw it: "The pace of the prince Chong Chong, where is this going?"

Chu Yue cupped his hands and said with a smile: "General Wang, General Zhao, you are so leisurely."

"Yes, yes, I hunted a few sheep and we were talking about roasting them. Now there is wine and meat. Would you like to have a sip of the prince's face?"

When Chu Yue heard this, he smiled slightly: "Next time, next time, my king is going to the emperor's brother."

Chu Yue was always good-tempered, courteous, and gentlemanly, and the generals in the army were happy to deal with him. In the past few days, he had even swept away the gloomy and scary days before, and he smiled every day. , The spring wind turns into rain, and others who are harmed are often dazzled by this smile.

Yesterday, an overseas businessman sent ingredients. Chu Yue saw that these ingredients were quite rare, and he was worried about what to find for Chu Xiao to appetize, so he asked the cook to try it according to the overseas method, and the dishes he made were unique in taste and very appealing Hi, as soon as he thought that Chu Xiao would like it, he couldn't wait for a moment, and left with the food box.

"My lord, please wait a moment."

As soon as Chu Yue stopped, he saw the man standing under the tree a little far away, his face was soft, and he was very polite: "What's the matter, Lord Duan?"

The person who came was Duan Jinrong. Duan Jinrong was originally an editor of the Imperial Academy. Chuchu annoyed the emperor because of his obsessive love for King Yue. Zhizai moaned without illness, and wrote some heroic poems to inspire soldiers in the army.

Duan Jinrong is now pale and frail, and he doesn't know where the masterpieces handed down from ancient times are, but he is so thin that he looks like a celestial being. The army is depressed, and Duan Jinrong grew up amidst red tape, so it is inevitable that he will be depressed.

Duan Jinrong also knew that Chu Yue didn't have any affection for him. Smart people should have realized it long ago, but he lacked a bit of backbone and couldn't help running to see him. Now that he really saw Chu Yue, he said nothing. I can't tell.

Chu Yue couldn't bear it in his heart, so he softened his tone and said: "You are in a very bad situation now, don't think too much, when you return to the capital, I will find a way to let you go back to the Imperial Academy. I'm not really going to punish you."

"Then Jinrong... thank you, my lord." Duan Jinrong stared at the tip of his shoe, unable to find a topic, his eyes blushed, and he raised his head tensely and said, "My lord, have you seen that blessing song? "

"Of course I've seen it. The blessing song you wrote for Brother Huang is very well written. I am very grateful to you." Chu Yue emphasized his tone, very sincere, and his eyes were gentle: "I am very grateful."

This made Duan Jinrong feel ashamed. He said it casually because he couldn't find a topic. It was his job to write the prayer song, but it was just a task, so it didn't take much effort. It can't be said how much love he invested, Chu Yue said that he was grateful to him, and he was so sincere and pertinent, which inexplicably made him feel guilty.

"Your majesty is blessed by heaven and man. Your lord...don't be grateful to me."

Chu Yue lowered his eyes and looked at the food box in his hand with an indistinguishable expression: "No, I am very grateful."

He is grateful for everything that is closely related to the world, no matter people or things. It may be hypocritical to say this, but for Chu Yue, he doesn't know what else to do except to be grateful for everything.

Because their strength is like ants in the face of bad luck, they are so small that he doesn't know what to do. He stays by Chu Xiao's bed every day, watching his drowsiness day after day, and this drowsiness has no end, no deadline , Chu Yue was often flustered, and at this time he would use his fingers to detect if there was still breath in Chu Xiao's nose.

He is clearly a man in his prime, but his hands shake worse than that of an old man in his 80s and [-]s. Chu Yue is not afraid of being ridiculed by others for his lack of promise and courage. He is willing to admit his weakness.

Fortunately, all disasters are over.

"It's getting late, and I'm going to the emperor's place. If you still consider me a friend, Jinrong, then listen to my advice. The emperor has always valued martial arts over literature. Although it is a little bit hard in the army, in terms of opportunities, it is still worth it." Much more than the Hanlin Academy.”

After finishing speaking, Chu Yue nodded to him, passed him again, and strode away.

Chu Yue opened the curtain and placed the food box on the table with great care, without making a single sound. Chu Yue bent down to pick up the memorial on the ground, folded it neatly, then squatted down and raised his head Staring blankly at Chu Xiao's sleeping face.

In his limited memory of more than 20 years, Chu Xiao seems to have such a gentle and peaceful appearance only when he is asleep. From childhood to adulthood, his third brother is always full of arrogance, domineering and stubborn, unwilling to admit defeat, and never bows his head , Occasionally making a joke is also sarcastic and sharp. At this time, under the shadow of the lamp, Chu Xiao sat cross-legged on the bed, propped his head with his hands, his head was slightly tilted, his eyes were closed, and his extremely black hair fell down and melted into the black robe. In one.

Chu Yue was fascinated by it, and felt that this face was too good-looking, no matter how good an artist was, he couldn't draw a ten-thousandth of the other's demeanor, and he felt very shy when facing fragile treasures, and he didn't know how to do it Just like a poor child who is used to being poor, even hugging is so nervous that he has to hold his breath.

Chu Yue leaned forward habitually, listening to the other party's long breathing.

It's ridiculous to say, this kind of breathing is really like heavenly joy to him.

With love that he didn't know how to express, Chu Yue lightly pecked the other party's lips: "Third brother, it's time to wake up."

--------

Chu Xiao's eyelashes trembled, and his closed eyes still did not open, as if he was about to wake up.Chu Yue held his breath compassionately, and slowly moved away.

His third elder brother has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and has experience in the army. He has extremely high self-esteem.Chu Yue knew that although Chu Xiao never said it directly, he was actually very proud of his superior vigilance than ordinary people. This kind of soldier's pride was engraved in Chu Xiao's heart like a badge.

He knew that the third brother was afraid of getting old, and now that he was recovering from a serious illness, he couldn't let Chu Xiao feel disappointed because of these things.

Thinking of this, Chu Yue planned to withdraw quietly, and come back after Chu Xiao woke up, but before he got up, Chu Xiao suddenly convulsed violently, his hands and feet twitched violently, and his muscles contracted bursts. Chu Yue hurriedly hugged him from his side. Hold each other, lightly knead the joint muscles, press and pinch Chu Xiao's Hegu and Renzhong acupoints.

However, under such intense pain, Chu Xiao still hasn't woken up. He seemed to be trapped in a nightmare, with a ferocious expression on his face, helpless and desperate, and the pain seemed like someone was tearing his flesh and chewing his muscles and bones.

"Third Brother? Third Brother?"

Chu Xiao curled up on the bed with his whole body, hissing and roaring continuously in his throat, his hands clenched the mattress tightly like climbing driftwood, Chu Yue was sweating profusely, and he couldn't wake up Chu Xiao even after screaming a few times.

Chu Yue asked the guards to rush to the imperial physician while wiping the hot sweat from Chu Xiao's forehead. The two of them were almost face-to-face, but Chu Xiao opened his eyes unexpectedly at this moment. His eyes opened wide, revealing his murderous aura, like Seeing something terribly terrifying, before Chu Yue could speak, Chu Xiao quickly clasped his hands with his backhand, and then swept the unsuspecting Chu Yue off the bed with his feet.

This almost broke one's waist, and if a swipe was to be described as flirting, it would be too forceful, and the world really couldn't stand it.When Chu Yue fell in a daze, he happened to knock over the memorials that had just been arranged and stacked, so a pile of memorials fell on Chu Yue.

At this moment, a group of Imperial Physicians and guards rushed in, before Chu Yue got up in time, he was exposed in such a state of embarrassment to the eyes of the public, and his brilliance and prowess passed away, and he was destroyed like this.

Chu Xiao was panting heavily, his hair was disheveled, and his chest heaved violently. Chu Yue got up from the ground. Seeing that Chu Xiao gradually regained his sanity, he heaved a sigh of relief, and put his hands on Chu Xiao's knees: "Brother Huang, why don't you still go to bed now?" What's wrong?"

The chaos in Chu Xiao's eyes dissipated, he half-raised his eyes to see the things in front of him clearly, calmed down his panic, and seemed to have regained his clarity and wisdom. He shook his head stiffly, and looked down at Chu Yue, with strangeness in his deep eyes.

"Oh, I just had a nightmare."

Chu Yue stared straight into Chu Xiao's black eyes, and a smile emerged. His expression was so gentle that he could spoil people's ability to recognize the north, south, east, south, and north: "Don't be afraid, just wake up and you'll be fine."

Chu Xiao's voice was hoarse, and because he just woke up, he couldn't speak clearly: "Of course I'm not afraid, it's just a dream."

The attendant doctor retreated again, and only the two of them were left in the tent. Chu Yue hugged Chu Xiao from behind, and put his chin on Chu Xiao's shoulder: "It's just that it's just like this after sleeping for a long time. Wait for the third brother to raise his body." Well, just move around and you'll be fine."

Chu Xiao leaned against the opponent's arms without using half of his strength, and half raised his head. In this posture, Chu Yue couldn't see his complicated expression.

"Third Brother, wait a minute, I'll get hot water for you to compress."

Chu Xiao silently watched Chu Yue skillfully twisting the handkerchief with water, his eyes gradually became sore.

These trivial things should not be done by someone of Chu Yue's status. Chu Yue is so willing to bear the burden of hard work, probably because facing his lover - if he has the opportunity to do something for his lover, no matter what small things are, he will feel sweet. Cozy.

And sweetness does not matter big or small.

Chu Yue massaged and rubbed Chu Xiao's legs skillfully with hand gestures. It was a skill that had been practiced countless times.

When he was sleepy and unable to wake up, Chu Yue must have helped him relax his tendons like this every day.

Chu Xiao looked down at Chu Yue's busy work, and without saying a word, he touched Chu Yue's forehead, and there was a big patch of green on the smooth forehead. Chu Xiao's expression was numb, and his mind was stagnant. The voice asked: "Yes, did I hurt you?"

Being kicked out of bed by a patient, Chu Yue really didn't want to do such a thing, and he was too embarrassed to admit it. Chu Yue's ears turned red and his face was slightly embarrassed: "It's because I didn't sit still."

This reason seems very wrong to a person of his age.

In the end, in order to save a little face, Chu Yue had no choice but to endure the heat and said: "It's okay for the emperor to kick now, but it's just that you don't want to kick the old brother out of bed in the future."
