Nine-Tailed Fox

Sly, "I dreamed of being skinned and deboned, and you showed Jing'er my fox skin."

Xuanyuan Jin's expression froze, and the pictures of the past were vivid in his mind, instantly swallowing his emotions.

Yun Xiaohuo knew that his joke had gone too far, so he hurriedly leaned forward and said softly, "You're joking, do you believe it?"

To Yun Xiaohuo, this might just be a casual joke, but to Xuanyuan Jin, it was a real experience. The bloody smell from the fox skin that he thought was Yun Xiaohuo's bosom, He can't forget it until now, and that despair has already been deeply rooted in his bones.

Feeling that Xuanyuan Jin's body was trembling faintly, Yun Xiaohuo only felt embarrassed, in fact, Xuanyuan Jin was not the only one who was in pain, it was just his own pain, which had already been taken lightly, even with hatred, it became insignificant, Otherwise, he would not have agreed to return to Beijing.

"Let me tell you a story, do you still remember that night when we met for the third time, that drunk friend beside me?"

"Remember."

"His name is Bai Suling, and he is a thousand-year-old snake demon."

"Where is he now?"

"Dead, to be precise, he was taken in by a Taoist priest, because he killed his lover and destroyed his whole house. And his lover was the number one scholar in the new department that I asked you to help investigate at that time."

"The champion of the new department? I remember." Xuanyuan Jin frowned, "People in his family died so strangely that it alarmed the national teacher at that time."

"Well, Bai Bai desperately went to Beijing to meet him, but was deceived again, that person even wanted his life."

"So he killed him?"

"Yeah, after killing so many people, he really didn't even want his own life. This is the result of us monsters insisting on being infected with emotions."

"Xiao Huo, you're not him, and I'm not that new champion."

"Why not? When I just gave birth to Jing'er and brought him to the palace to look for you, I almost poached your heart while you were asleep. It was just a little bit close."

Originally thought that Xuanyuan Jin would be surprised, but he just smiled and rubbed the skin of Yun Xiaohuo's face with the back of his hand, and said, "I really like you to be jealous for me."

"Why... hey..."

Once Yun Xiaohuo was interrupted by him, she didn't know what to say, but Xuanyuan Jin, who didn't expect it, started talking again.

"Speaking of the champion of the new discipline, I was very impressed. At the beginning, the first emperor personally gave him a marriage, and he married the daughter of General Zhenyuan's family. Xiaohuo, you must know that no one can refuse a marriage bestowed by the emperor. , unless he loses his head."

"So what? In the end, he lied to Bai Bai, and even killed him."

"How do you know that everything was set up by him? What if he is sincere? What if the person who killed the killer was someone from the general's mansion? General Zhenyuan's daughter is a famous iron lady, and this marriage is her own. Proposed, if she knows that her husband has someone else in his heart, it is not surprising what she will do. Of course, everything now is our guess, and the truth will follow the two of them. But I still It's a pity, even if there is a possibility of misunderstanding, this is a tragedy that I don't want to see."

"If it's what you said, then wouldn't death be in vain?"

"Back then, didn't you almost die in vain? I think I was just lucky, and now I just want to cherish you." Xuanyuan Jin wrapped his fingers around Yun Xiaohuo's five fingers and clasped them tightly, "So, you It doesn't matter if you don't forgive me, as long as you can let me look at you like this, and let me hold you like this, I will be very satisfied."

"How can this sound like the words of the king of a country? It's really useless." Yun Xiao smiled at him, smiling, and suddenly felt desolate in his heart, and he couldn't laugh anymore.

"What's wrong?" Xuanyuan Jin was a little nervous when he saw his expression suddenly froze.

"I just suddenly wanted to visit Hangzhou."

"Okay, we will start tomorrow, just in time for the Lantern Festival"

On the night of the Lantern Festival, the prosperity of Hangzhou City is just like the Qixi Festival of that year.

From Shou'an Square to Zhong'an Bridge, various lights are hung all over the streets and alleys, all the way to the West Lake, and the lake is glowing red, as if it is burning.

Xuanyuan Jin held Yun Xiaohuo's hand and stood in the gazebo, watching the river lanterns drifting by on the water, like stars in the night sky.

"I remember when you asked me what the river lantern was for, I told you it was for making wishes, but you said you had no wishes."

"En." Yun Xiaohuo nodded, the beauty in his eyes was like the lights at night, flickering on and off.

"Then have you thought about your wish now?" Xuanyuan Jin's eager expectation was obvious and anxious.

"No." Yun Xiaohuo's eyes followed the river lights until he saw them spinning in the water, and finally disappeared at the end of the bustle.

Xuanyuan Jin pinched him even tighter, "But I have a wish."

"You want to release the river lantern?" Yun Xiaohuo tilted his head and laughed at him, "The majestic king of a country, what wish do you want the river lantern to fulfill for you?"

Xuanyuan Jin didn't answer, he just looked at Yun Xiaohuo in front of him, his deep black eyes were sparkling.

"Come on, I'll accompany you to release the river lantern."

Yun Xiaohuo walked ahead, passing through the bustling crowd, and when he turned his head, he could see the man who had been following him all along.

Under the dim light, the man pursed his lips tightly, with forbearance on his face and disappointment in his eyes, the wound that couldn't be hidden was illuminated by the daytime light.

Yun Xiaohuo's heart twitched, and the numb pain spread back to his limbs. He walked a step slower and walked side by side with Xuanyuan Jin.

When they came to the bank of the river, Xuanyuan Jin bought lanterns and wrote red paper with wishes.

The lantern drifted away with the river, but it was sunk by a vortex in a blink of an eye. Xuanyuan Jin was not reconciled, so he released another one, but this time it only floated for a while before flipping over and falling into the river.

"Yun Xiaohuo, did you do it on purpose?" Xuanyuan Jin looked at Yun Xiaohuo with an innocent face, annoyed and funny.

"What wish did you say you want He Deng to help you realize? Why don't you just tell me and see if I, the thousand-year-old nine-tailed fox, can fulfill your wish?"

"Will it come true if I say it?"

"How can you make it happen if you don't say it?"

"I think you'll always be by my side."

"Xuanyuan Jin, how far do you think eternity is? For monsters, a thousand years is nothing more than that, but for humans, a lifetime is already very long."

"As a mortal in my world, I dare not expect to be with you for thousands of years. I only hope that you will be with me for the rest of my life."

"I promise you it is."

"Really?" Xuanyuan Jin's eyes were full of joy, almost overflowing.

Yun Xiao smiled confusedly and said nothing, only to see him raising his arm, and when he flipped his wrist, a light wind from nowhere blew by, and the third river lantern in Xuanyuan Jin's hand fell to the river surface with the wind, and it went smoothly and smoothly. Running forward with the current.

"When Jing'er grows up, I will abdicate. At that time, we will move back to the foot of Phoenix Mountain and live a simple life, just like before." Xuanyuan Jin's eyes twinkled, full of longing, and A little excited, "But by then I should have a lot of gray hair, and I will be much older, not as good-looking as you always are, so don't dislike me."

"Yeah." Yun Xiaohuo turned his face away, and tightly clenched the red paper in his palm.

A year comes and goes very quickly, and at the end of this year, that is, at the end of the 15th year of Jialong, the emperor and empress, who had always kept a low profile, disappeared in the palace again.

"Smelly fox, are you sure?" Ghost Tree looked at Yun Xiaohuo standing in front of him with a gloomy expression.

"I'm sure, give it to me!" Yun Xiaohuo spread his palms and begged for it from the ghost tree.

"No! Not even death!" Ghost Tree's face became even more stinky.

"Old ghost, don't forget that you still owe me a request."

"Stinky fox, you are courting death, do you know that?" Ghost Tree reluctantly put a fruit in Yun Xiaohuo's palm.

"I'm not far from death." Yun Xiaohuo folded his palms, jumped to sit on a branch beside him, propped his chin on one hand, looked at the ghost tree standing below, and asked, "I can last for three more years." ?"

Ghost Tree shook his head, and pointed his fingers back at him: "It's only two and a half years, and I'm just kidding. If you insist on conceiving, you probably won't be able to last two years."

"It's good to be able to give birth. Anyway, I've lived for more than 500 years, and I'm already tired of it." Yun Xiaozhuo smiled, touched his flat stomach with his hand, and asked, "I don't know if the next one will be a boy or a baby." girl."

"It's better to give birth to a princess. If another brat like Jing'er comes out, the world will have to be turned upside down!" Speaking of his godson Xuanyuan Jing, Guishu loves and hates his teeth, and this child doesn't know who he got. The true biography of Yun Xiaohuo's temperament is more difficult to deal with than Yun Xiaohuo, but his face is thicker than Xuanyuan Jin's!Coupled with Fan's resolute action, Qing's tenacity and stubbornness, and Mei's vicious mouth, he is really a little devil in the world!How can there be half of the well-behaved and sensible back then?

"Speaking of which, Jing'er has been clamoring to see you all the time."

"Look at me? Come on! Didn't he just want to dig some treasures from me? I don't know that brat yet?" Ghost Tree shook his head, but he said so, and he was really looking forward to Xuanyuanjing in his heart, after all It was he who saw the big baby since he was a child, and it was a lie to say that it didn't hurt, "By the way, how is he doing as a prince? Is that bastard Xuanyuan Jin treating him well?"

"He is very good. The slaves in the palace and the courtiers are afraid of Xuanyuan Jin first, and Jing'er second. They are all like a mouse seeing a cat. Even Xuanyuan Fei detours when he sees him. .”

"What did he do to the family?"

"He brought a few tigers from his master to play with, and let the tigers chase Xuanyuan Fei all over the imperial garden, frightened the child out of illness, and lay on the bed for several days."

"Pfft!" Ghost Tree couldn't help laughing when he heard that, and it was hard to laugh.
