I'm not Murong Chong

Tuobagui stepped into the room first, followed by several servants filing in, all holding a lot of ingredients and tonics in their hands, lined up in front of Murongxi's bed.

Murong Xi didn't raise his head: "General Tuoba shouldn't come here in person, he should avoid suspicion."

Tuobagui double-ringed his chest, and said indifferently: "You will be hurt by this arrow, and it is because of me indirectly. My lord is kind enough to order me to visit you. I have negotiated with Feng Ba before. It is fair and aboveboard, why avoid suspicion?"

Murong Xi got up suddenly, raised his hand abruptly and overturned a cup of medicinal soup in front of him, and said with a sneer, "Upright? Do you really have the face to say it?!"

Tuobagui's expression remained unchanged, he just drove away the others, and calmly said: "Longevity..."

"Don't call me!" Murong Xi pointed angrily, "Don't think that you are the only wise couple in this world! You have been using me from the beginning to the end, coaxing me to be your bait to attract those who secretly work for my father. ! I really believe that you are protecting me from my brother!"

Tuobagui stared at him for a long time, finally smiled, and his tone softened: "Changsheng, I only promise you - to help you deal with Murong Bao - sooner or later the news of the crown prince's intention to kill you will be reported to Zhongshan, how can your father Let it go? If you insist firmly and make use of the situation, it will not be difficult to bring down the prince. Murong Bao's mother died early and has no relatives.

Murong Xi turned his gaze to his handsome eyebrows: "Murong Bao has been the crown prince in Houyan for so many years, what should I do to bring him down? Even if everyone knows that he is going to kill his brother, there is no conclusive evidence."

"Why not? The physical evidence is the arrow, and the witnesses... Murong Bao's subordinates who were ordered to encircle and suppress you at that time are all witnesses! If you make friends with Feng Ba well - although he is young, he is your father's confidant, If you can get him to stand by your side, it will be even more effective." Tuoba Gui's voice turned cold and hard, "You have seen through Murong Bao's murderous intentions, and it is impossible to stop now. You. Court struggles have never been about your death or my death, longevity, and giving in is tantamount to death."

Murong Xi frowned, and turned his head to look at him uncertainly: "These so-called evidences are not in my hands. Murong Bao has been the crown prince of Houyan for many years, and he has accumulated power for a long time. I'm afraid I can't beat him."

Tuobagui saw that he had gotten to the point of this trip, so he took his words and said, "I can help you find these things. I hope you don't have to be inferior to others when you return to Zhongshan."

Murong Xi pulled the corner of his mouth, and actually took the initiative to pull Tuoba Gui's skirt and pulled him down, and said in a low voice: "You really care about me so much?" At the corner of his eyebrows, he couldn't help but move slightly in his heart, and leaned over, wanting to kiss.Murong Xi quickly turned his face away, and the kiss landed on his cheek. His eyes fluttered, and his eyes caught the somewhat surprised Tuobagui: "You should prefer the angle of kissing me, right?"

Tuobagui froze all over, and his blood immediately calmed down, and said coldly: "Changsheng, what are you talking about?"

Murong Xi suddenly couldn't restrain himself from laughing, "Shangxin?! Tuobagui! Shangxin, you will watch me in danger and still wait patiently for the mastermind behind the scenes? Shangxin, you will do nothing to save your emperor! Shooting an arrow at me with scruples? Didn't you see the expression on your face when you rushed to save me, like a hungry and lowly dog—" He suddenly couldn't continue, and Tuobagui suddenly shot like lightning, He strangled his neck and tightened it tighter.He gritted his teeth and said: "Murongxi, do you know what you are talking about!"

Murong Xi tried his best to struggle left and right, but Tuobagui was imprisoned like a copper wall and iron wall, his face flushed quickly, he was out of breath, but he still hissed: "I said you are a poor wretch A coward who only dares to hide in the dark and take advantage of others! A coward who dares to love and dare not speak!"

Tuobagui took a deep breath, and suddenly threw it aside vigorously!

Murong Xi coughed a few times, and the white cloth wrapped around the wound oozes a few traces of bright red, he raised his head, and said with a sneering smile: "Tuobagui, the omnipotent general of Anton, dare not kill me? That's right... because your master still wants to send you to win me over, thinking that I will lose both in the battle with Murong Bao~"

Tuoba Gui stared wide-eyed, as if meeting Murong Xi for the first time, and then he sat up straight and said, "I know what my reputation is usually - I am proud of being favored, playing with flowers, being unscrupulous between men and women, and doing whatever I want ——As long as anyone wants it, I will do everything possible to seduce him. But I claim to be better than you! No matter how bad it is, I will never wishful thinking about a fake!"

Tuobagui got up angrily, and said coldly: "Fake? My master has been dormant for ten years, and just now he raised an army in Pingyang, swept Guanzhong, conquered Chang'an, captured Xinping, and went to Guyuan. Six counties in the state, I would like to see who in this world can be his fake?"

It wasn't until Tuoba Gui walked away that Murong Xi angrily kicked down the desks at his feet. It is a great shame and shame to turn against the generals, say that they are penniless and contemptible in every way!

What does he compare with others?One is the king of a country who is in charge of great power, but he is just an idle prince with no power and power!There is simply no comparison.But he is not reconciled!

There is no impenetrable wall in this world, and with the help of some people, within a few days, Murong Bao received a verbal order from Murong Chui from Zhongshan, ordering him to return to the country immediately and return to his mission in strict terms.Although the cause and fate were not specified, Murong Bao still guessed that it was because of Murong Xi, but Murong Chui was far away in Zhongshan City, so how did he know what happened in Chang'an so quickly?Naturally, he was scared out of his wits.Ren Zhen naturally comforted him, and said with relief: "Your father entrusted you with two tasks, one is to borrow the God's Lord Card, and the other is to rescue the King of Hexi - now the King of Hexi is fine, and I will be there soon. To hold the ceremony, please make a copy of the master card of the gods and give it to you to take back to Zhongshan for business affairs. On the surface, it can be regarded as a successful completion of the mission. You refuse to admit the rest, what can your father do against you if you have no proof?" After that Ren Zhen really "struggled against all opinions", and solemnly invited the emperor's tablet from the Taizu Emperor to Murong Bao, so that even if Murong Bao had various complaints about him, he would not be able to find out Here comes the stab.

On the eve of his departure, Ren Zhen also specially held a grand dinner for the Houyan Mission to practice.Murong Xi also saw him and him again in Changle Palace after a long absence.

As the youngest general of Xiyan, Tuobagui was undoubtedly the most dazzling new star that night, but he was not arrogant or impetuous, whether it was the compliments and praises from the people at the banquet, or the singing and dancing that followed, his clothes were fragrant and his temples were shining. , there is always a calm but cold smile on his face, and only when the Yan Emperor Murong Chong, who is on the throne, personally awards him, he shows a sincere smile.

Ren Zhen was obviously quite happy tonight, drank a lot, even got up and went down the steps himself when the wine was hot, patted Tuoba Gui on the shoulder and called him "my general", then staggered, Tuoba Gui hurriedly Supporting the emperor, the chief servant hurriedly came down to help him, but Tuobagui shook his head at him and personally helped him back to the throne. Seeing that Ren Zhen's eyes were a little loose after drinking, he turned around and ordered the servant to bring sober soup. He wanted to take advantage of the chaos to secretly remove the jug on the case, but Ren Zhen suddenly held down his wrist, and he glared at him with his tongue out: "You, what are you doing? How dare you deceive the king?"

Of course Tuobagui was not afraid of him at this moment, he let him hold his hand, smiled slightly and said: "Nothing to do. The remnants of the wine are already cold, I'll just relive this rare wine for you. In this way, the emperor will The crime of governing ministers?" Ren Zhen finally remembered that there were outsiders in this banquet, hiccupped and threw away his hands, while Tuobagui was warming the wine, he secretly poured half of the wine into the boiling water where kudzu vines were boiled, It is used for sobering up.

All the ministers below were also enjoying themselves, and no one noticed the scene above.Only Murong Xi watched with cold eyes, seeing clearly.He lowered his head and took a sip of the already cold wine, only to feel that the old wound in his chest was churning again.He suddenly put down his wine glass, got up and left the hall.

At the end of spring, the night wind was smoky, but Murong Xi was feeling depressed, and there was no way to relieve it.He walked quickly to the depths of the flower shadow, took out a paper bag from his sleeve, and opened the paper to find a black pill inside.Murong Xi stared at it and hesitated for a moment, then raised his neck and slapped the medicine into his mouth.But before he could swallow it, he felt a sudden blow to the back of his head, so he vomited out the medicine unexpectedly, spun around on the ground several times, and then disappeared into the night.

Murong Xi was furious and turned around to scold, but saw Feng Ba folded his arms under the moonlight, looking at him with a frown in puzzlement.

"Your Highness, what are you doing?!" Feng Ba waited for a long time, but Murong Xi still had no intention of explaining, so he couldn't help but go straight: "We are leaving soon, we must not make mistakes at this moment, you actually Taking Xiaoyao Pills at a state banquet—although it is not highly poisonous, it is dry and strong, and it is incompatible with the zodiac sign of knife wounds, swellings and sores. If you take it, it will cause a hundred harms but no benefit, and if it stimulates the old wounds, it will even cough up blood on the spot!" Feng Ba suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and looked suspiciously at Murong Xi: "Could it be that His Highness deliberately took Xiaoyao Pills at the banquet?" Murong Xi turned his face away and refused to answer—Xiaoyao Pills have been popular among Houyan nobles for a long time , usually for fun, how could he not know?He just wanted to cough up blood in public at Xiyan's practical banquet, so Xiyan, who held the banquet, must be to blame. Now that he has officially resumed his status as King of Hexi, let's see how Murong Chong, who has exhausted all his tricks, treats his father The emperor confesses!

Feng Ba wanted to break his head, but he couldn't understand why Murong Xi had to make trouble at this time - he had been captured for many days, didn't he want to return to China as soon as possible?If it was just to anger Emperor Xiyan, then why?He couldn't help asking repeatedly, Murong Xi was really not bothered, and he was unwilling and unable to tell the truth, seeing that he couldn't avoid it, he simply turned his face and said in a huff: "This king really doesn't want to go back to the country right now! Doesn’t General Feng understand the reason?!” Seeing that Feng Ba seemed to stay where he was, he pulled back his clothes, revealing layers of bandaged wounds, and said with a distressed expression: “Without this injury, I would really miss it all the time. I wanted to go back to my country, but when I fell from the horse with an arrow in Shanglin Garden that day, the first thing I felt was not pain, but fear! Because the arrow came from my home country! I don’t know how ordinary people are brothers, But my elder brother really wants to kill me! So many people have witnessed it with their own eyes, but no one dares to criticize him! After all, he is the prince, so how can I not worry about traveling thousands of miles to Zhongshan? Will suffer again!"

Feng Ba Ting's scalp went numb, he instinctively covered his mouth, and said urgently: "Your Highness, be careful!" Then he was taken aback, knowing that he was being presumptuous and rude, but the palm under his hand was The soft and warm touch that I have never experienced before, and looking at this beloved son of heaven, who looks sad and sad at this moment, his eyes are full of water, even a heart of iron and stone will turn into softness around his fingers, and the bottom of his heart is soft. He skipped a beat uncontrollably, and comforted in a soft voice like a ghost: "The general is ordered to protect His Highness, and he will never be frightened and dangerous again! If His Highness does not want to return to the country with the crown prince, he will find a way in the future. Stay here with you!"

Let's talk about the banquet in the palace, Ren Zhen was escorted back to Weiyang Palace by crossing the Xifei Bridge in a soft sedan chair - the chief servant followed by, covered his mouth with a smile at Tuobagui: "The emperor is always generous, let's look at it today." I'm very happy to be here, I really drank too much." Tuobagui followed Ren Zhen for a long time, and even served him personally when he was young, how could he not know?But I don't understand why I am so happy to be practiced by Murong Bao.But he just frowned suspiciously and didn't say a word.Fortunately, Ren Zhen's wine taste was better than his capacity for alcohol, even when he was very drunk, he did not make any noise or noise, and entered the Jinhua Palace without incident.

A long time ago, maids and servants rushed over, helped the emperor, burned incense, served soup, and cleansed the face.Ren Zhen lay paralyzed on the dragon bed, surrounded tightly, and he was quite comfortable being served by others, but his cheeks were flushed and his eyes were blurred. It was obvious that he was quite drunk.He suddenly waved to Tuoba Gui who was outside the crowd, and Tuoba Gui immediately lifted the curtain to enter the tent, and bowed down beside the dragon bed.

Ren Zhen pushed away the hangover soup brought to his lips, and felt that he was too far away from the ground, and it was difficult to speak, so he slightly raised his chin at him and said, "Sit down."

Tuobagui was stunned for a moment, then he took the courage to sit sideways on the edge of the bed, and slowly leaned towards him.Ren Zhen lifted his body slightly in satisfaction, and whispered in his ear: "Are you really sure to keep Murong Xi?"

The heat, mixed with the smell of wine, rushed towards it, as if it could scratch people's hearts along the ears.Tuobagui didn't dare to move a little, as if he was afraid of disturbing this rare and precious intimacy.He whispered: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Murong Bao will return home, and Murong Xi will not follow him."

Ren Zhen narrowed his eyes, turned his face to the side and said with a smile that was not a smile: "The general is so powerful~ He is a majestic prince, he is really at your mercy. I really don't know what method you used?"

How could Tuoba Gui talk about the matter between himself and Murong Xi——Murong Xi enjoyed all his love in Houyan and was held in the hands of everyone, and he was young and energetic, so how could he be willing to be treated as nothing by others?That night he intentionally provoked Murong Xi for this reason.Then he turned his face back, boldly looked at Ren Zhen who was close at hand, and replied: "Murong Xi knows that Murong Bao is a thorn in his flesh, and has been watching secretly. The two brothers are actually torn apart. It's reasonable to not want to go the same way." Ren Zhen just laughed when he heard the words, but he didn't necessarily believe them all.It's just that now that he is happy and drunk, he doesn't bother to think about it.

Tuobagui hurriedly said again: "It's just that I don't understand. Letting Murong Xi go back to Zhongshan will definitely fight Murong Bao in front of Murong Chui. Wouldn't it be more beneficial for us if Hou Yan had a fight for the heir apparent?" Ren Zhen squinted at him, closed her eyes and smiled without saying a word.Tuobagui turned his head and waved gently to the servants.

The head servant knew well that Tuobagui's family was profound, and the emperor would not blame him for stepping over his footsteps, so he really obeyed his orders and stepped down one by one.Ren Zhen was half asleep and half awake when he heard everything around, and then he murmured: "Murong Bao has been the crown prince for many years, and he has a faction of his followers in Zhongshan who support him. As for Murong Xi—it's true that Murong Chui loves him, but I think his Heart nature...not necessarily wanting to be the crown prince. One goes up and down the other, I'm afraid they won't be able to win the heir by making a small fuss, so it's better to keep Murongxi here as a bargaining chip...delay time...until—" Tuoba Gui replied I was listening, but there was nothing to say. Looking down, Ren Zhen had already fallen asleep with his head tilted, and from time to time he was snoring cheerfully.

Tuobagui originally wanted to ask him why he was happy, but now he could only smile wryly, help him to lie down, and cover him with a quilt. Unfamiliar, but accidentally touched a wooden box beside the jade pillow.He opened it, and the first thing that caught his eye was the half-onyx sleeve. Although the texture looked old and not old, it was embroidered with dark patterns, which was extraordinary. Tuobagui glanced at Ren Zhen who was sleeping soundly, cautiously Looking at it, you can see that the material of the cloth has uneven fractures, as if it was hastily torn off from the close-fitting clothing - but there is a seal in the lower left corner, with the bright red four-character seal inscription "The Treasure of the King of Liang".

Tuobagui slowly gripped the half of the cloth, and now he finally knew why Ren Zhen was so happy tonight - because it was sent by Fu Jian from Liangzhou!This Fangxi seal is Liangwang Yuxi, hidden in Mingguang Palace, and will fall into the hands of Fu Jian. There is only one possibility: that is, Fu Jian has already defeated the Juqu clan, re-entered Guzang, and became Shizhi again. The worthy King of Houliang!This matter has not been officially announced to the world, Fu Jian had just regained control of the Mingguang Palace, and sent people to deliver the remnant clothes and half-sleeves overnight, and the rest did not say a word.Because it is useless to talk about everything, and those who have a clear understanding can understand it at a glance-this is the tacit understanding between the two who don't need to say it!

When Murong Chong's troops surrounded Chang'an, Fu Jian once sent an envoy to send a rare brocade robe woven by Luo Xiao, and attached an edict: "Nianqing came from a long way, and the food and clothing are lonely, so I bestow you with a brocade robe. , Few old things, clear my heart, you should remember the story of the robe that was given that day, the love is so deep, why did you meet each other in battle, with swords and axes?" It is extremely humiliating to use the old petting thing as a satire; but now The gift is what I wear next to my body day and night, no longer a few words, the feelings in it are as different as heaven and earth... What Tuoba Gui didn't know was that, in Ren Zhen's view, Fu Jian's move was also because of the reason for parting at Sanguankou that day. At the same time, Ren Zhen once tore off the hem of his clothes, covered the imperial seal, and promised him to share the country with a blank imperial decree. Now Fu Jian followed suit. , Seeing things and thinking about people, even if the world is far apart, it seems that it can be turned into a close distance, how can I not feel happy in my heart?

Tuoba Gui folded the half of the sleeve and put it in the box with a blank expression, and then put it back under the pillow intact.

With this posture, it was the first time that he looked down at Ren Zhen from such a close distance - in the flickering and dim yellow candlelight of the palace lanterns, he slept very deeply, and his usual shrewd and murderous spirit seemed to have been diluted a lot because of this, the lips seemed to be There was still a slight smile in his eyes—this gorgeous dragon bed with carved beams and paintings was like a cage, but he was willing to eat it.

Hateful, hateful, exasperating!But he is unforgettable, hard to quit, hard to break!

Tuobagui's eyes were slightly red, and he couldn't help but stretched out his hand tremblingly to caress Ren Zhen's lips, which were hot and moist.

Why can't he, why can't he alone! ?

He asked himself repeatedly like a maniac, but naturally no one answered.As if he wanted to find the answer himself, he finally lowered his head slowly, and kissed his lips lightly and preciously.
