Eight Realms of Space

"Master Ruohan, do you want to have breakfast first?" Xiaoshu asked timidly.

Ruohan couldn't help rubbing his little head, and then pinching his baby's fat face. This little book is the smallest one in the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. It's only 11 years old. It's a bit shy, but it's cute and well-behaved. , so that he couldn't help but want to bully him.

"No, I'll wait for him to eat together."

"Then, what do you want for breakfast? I'll let the people in the kitchen prepare it first."

Ruohan thought about it, reported a lot, and jotted it down carefully in Xiaoshu, without feeling that the amount was a bit outrageous for breakfast.

Ruohan likes his serious appearance, pink and tender little face, bright red lips, and then looks down, um... the little butt is upturned and round, but I don't know if it feels good to the touch.

When Nan Gongyan came back, what he happened to see was Liu Ruohan's obsessive look at the little boy, and he immediately scowled and snorted coldly.

Xiao Shu didn't know what happened, but simply said hello to Nan Gongyan, and then trotted to the kitchen.

Ruohan didn't look back until Xiaoshu disappeared, glanced at Nangongyan with a gloomy face, and said with a smile in his heart, "How about having breakfast in the yard?"

Nan Gongyan hesitated to speak, looked at Liu Ruohan for a while, then nodded and sat down.

During breakfast, almost only Ruohan was talking about autumn, maple leaves turned red, fish in the pond loved to bask in the sun, and cats and dogs in the yard started to moult.

They were all trivial gossip, but Ruohan spoke with great interest, his whole body seemed to be radiating light, making Nangongyan listen unconsciously.

And the contradictions in his heart gradually disappeared in such trivial recounting.

How long has it been since you felt this peaceful?Nan Gongyan thought.

Seems to be since both parents passed away.It started when I took on the responsibility and burden of the whole family at the age of eight years old.

Those collateral, distant relatives are all waiting for the fall of their own branch.At that time, he repeated intrigue and intrigue every day.Nerves were tense, fearing that something about him would dissatisfy the emperor and deprive him and his younger brother of their inheritance rights.

By the way, how did you survive in the first place?

It's because of Namgong Jun.That cute kid who was five years younger than him and knew nothing.

The little Nangong Jun didn't even understand the concept of death, he just pulled the hem of his clothes and asked his parents when they would come back.

It was his innocence and liveliness that gave Nan Gongyan the motivation to take on heavy burdens and gave him the courage to fight.

Since then, he has decided to leave all the best to his younger brother, so that his younger brother can live the freest and happiest life.

It's just...he didn't expect that he would fall in love with Yin Chen...

"What are you thinking?" Ruohan's sudden question interrupted the melancholy in Nangongyan's heart.

He came back to his senses, but what he met was Ruohan's inquiring gaze.

Gentlely, with tolerance and caring, those gazes suddenly smoothed the sadness in Nangongyan's heart.

Smiling slightly, Yin Chen's appearance in front of Nangongyan's eyes gradually faded, and he said, "It's okay. Let's have dinner."

"Ah."

For several days, Nan Gongyan showed gentleness beyond Ruohan's expectation.There was no sharp confrontation, no questioning, even with the mind-detecting technique, what Ruohan found was peaceful.

Doesn't he hate young ladies the most?I seduced him like that, not only did he not scold me for being shameless, but he treated me with a gentle tone.It feels a bit like he treats Yin Chen, but it's not the same...

This kind of Nangongyan made Ruohan a little unbelievable, but also slightly sweet.

He likes that Nangongyan pulls the quilt for him every morning, likes to stay with Nangongyan in the study every afternoon and get along quietly, and likes to hear him say I'm back every night.

That would give him a sense of satisfaction that his hard work had paid off.

Ruohan giggled in bed, finally made progress with Nangongyan, and the time to cross the love tribulation should be soon.

Nan Gongyan was already dressed and was about to set off. Hearing Liu Ruohan's laughter, he asked instead, "Are you awake?"

"Well, some can't sleep."

Ruohan's red face was halfway out of the bed, and Nangongyan's heart skipped half a beat with his cute appearance.

"It's not yet dawn, lie down for a while." He said softly.

"Ah."

The intimacy that day did indeed change something between the two, but neither of them noticed this change.

The two of them didn't change anything on purpose, but simply tolerated each other a little bit, and discovered the advantages of each other that they had never discovered before, and then became closer.

Ruohan put the brewed tea heavily on the desk, reminding Nangongyan that it was time to rest.

Nan Gongyan seemed to have just woken up from his thoughts, and what he saw was Ruohan pretending to be angry, his chest felt hot, and he lowered his head to drink tea, hiding the emotions in his eyes.

In the past, even if Liu Ruohan was in the study, he always subconsciously ignored him.Because Liu Ruohan is quiet, he often forgets his existence.

But now, for some reason, he always likes to look up at the person who is sitting on the reclining chair by the window, reading a book seriously during the interval between writing and writing.

Watching his expression change, watching his small mouth pout, watching him feel aggrieved by the characters in the book, there is actually a kind of smile in my heart.

He hadn't planned to find a companion, but in his opinion, Yin Chen was the best in the world.

But by chance, Yin Chen fell in love with his younger brother.

He didn't want to make his only brother sad, nor did he want to force Yin Chen.So hide your own thoughts and thoughts in your heart, and choose to bless them silently.

It's just that he didn't expect that Liu Ruohan in front of him would turn out to be his lover in a dramatic way.

When I saw him for the first time, I hated his identity, and also hated him trying to get close to him.

Later, because he helped him take the aphrodisiac, he said that he wanted to be his lover, and wanted to find someone who could take care of him and treat him well.

It was also at that time that he knew that Liu Ruohan liked his younger brother. Like him, he had the experience of loving someone but not loving him.

It was because of guilt, maybe there was still a trace of sympathy, and it was a ghostly errand, he agreed, and he also promised.

By acquiescing to the relationship between the two, and ordering the servant, it is only to make up for it, and to fulfill the obligations he should fulfill after he promised.

However, after getting along day by day, although he didn't have a good impression of Liu Ruohan, he couldn't say that he hated him so much as a young lady, but in his thoughts, he would always think of Yin Chen who looked like a banished fairy...

But for the sake of Yin Chen and Nangong Jun, he had to quit.

That day he made such an oath in the palace, not only to deal with the emperor, but also to block his own retreat.

Nan Gongyan didn't regret this at all, he had made up his mind to treat Liu Ruohan well for the rest of his life.It's just...he thought about taking care of Liu Ruohan for the rest of his life, loving him, and being with him like a guest, but he never thought that he would have such a dirty desire for Liu Ruohan.

It's not that he hasn't been stuffed by women before, and he also knows something about affairs, but he has no feeling for those so-called stunners at all.Just bored and disgusting.

Although the sober sex was from Liu Ruohan's shameless seduction, but he was happy because of the other party's youthfulness, which is not normal at all.

Nan Gongyan thought about it.

If the cold is cold, he always likes to sleep with him through the quilt every night, and likes to rest his head on his chest.After a night, she often slipped into his bed and touched his skin.

Just feeling Liu Ruohan's heat, just feeling the softness of his skin, made his uncontrollable breathing heavy.In the past few days, it has also started earlier.

The first antipyretic was just an accident, and the second mingling was just a physiological need. Nan Gongyan didn't want to continue to deteriorate the relationship between the two.But he couldn't resist Liu Ruohan's temptation.

Knowing that he was unintentional, but just seeing his pink neck protruding from the neckline, he couldn't help but imagine the scenery below.

Even Liu Ruohan's angry look just now made him want to hug him, kiss his little mouth, and watch him moan in his arms.

Nan Gongyan struggled, feeling annoyed at his lack of concentration.

But if he really didn't have any feelings for Liu Ruohan, how could he have desire for him?

Nan Gongyan seemed to realize something.

"What are you thinking? Serious face?"

Ruohan leaned close to Nangongyan's face to ask, but Nangongyan pulled away the first moment.

"Nothing, just thinking about how to deal with this matter."

lie!

Ruohan narrowed his eyes.He didn't need any mind-exploring skills, just by looking at Nangongyan's expression, he could guess that this guy wasn't telling the truth.

Puckering her mouth, snorting, Ruohan sat back in her seat in a huff, and in Nan Gongyan's eyes, she looked like a cat that lost its master's love and lost its temper.

The corners of his mouth curved into an arc, and he smiled when he didn't realize it.

He thought, maybe he should get to know this person whom he plans to spend the rest of his life with again.

"By God's blessing, the emperor ordered that Nan Gongyan be handpicked to go to Tangjiang to fight the bandits, hereby."

The simple imperial decree came with a detailed edict, Ruohan was not afraid of Nangongyan's stare at all, but leaned over to take a closer look.

To put it simply, a group of vicious gangsters appeared near Tangjiang. Due to the shortage of local officers and soldiers, I hope that Nan Gongyan, who is highly skilled in martial arts, can help.

It was almost the busiest time after the autumn harvest, but the emperor handed over such a matter to Nan Gongyan. I have to say, he was just looking for faults!

This matter is not big or small, but it can be big or small. If it is handled well, it will only add a little unexpected trouble to Nangong Yan and add to the reputation of the Nangong family. Bandits, no, as long as there is a little trouble, Nangongyan will be a big sinner.

Not to mention that the world will doubt the strength of the Nangong family, those people who live near Tangjiang will definitely feel alienated from the Nangong family immediately.

Ruohan raised his eyebrows, cursed the emperor as a bastard, then turned his head and said to Nangongyan, "You are going."

The questioning sentence was an affirmative statement, because he knew that neither Nangongyan's sense of responsibility nor the emperor's edict could tolerate Nangongyan's rejection.

"Then I'll go with you."

Nan Gongyan couldn't help laughing at the tone that could not be refused, and the serious expression on Ruohan's little face, and said, "There are only more than 200 robbers, and I will be able to complete the siege mission and come back soon."

Ruohan shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily the case. What if the emperor gave you wrong information, what if there are more than that many people? I don't think this matter is that simple."

Nan Gongyan looked at Liu Ruohan and said, "What do you mean?"

"Since the emperor doesn't like the Nangong family, maybe he will take this opportunity to deliberately consume the elite soldiers of the Nangong family."

Seeing that Nangongyan didn't refute, but motioned him to continue, Ruohan simply took a chair and sat down, saying, "The most taboo thing for emperors is that you, like your Nangong family, have their own private soldiers and are rich like an enemy. , People whose popularity and prestige are close to those of the king. The so-called self-respect, if you are a wise king, you will naturally have his way of checking and balancing, but in my opinion, this emperor is obviously not a wise king."

Ruohan, who pouted and commented, didn't notice the fleeting light in Nangongyan's eyes.

He decided to get to know Liu Ruohan again, but he didn't expect him to be so sensitive about politics.

"Are you self-respecting?" Nan Gongyan murmured and asked, "Then what do you think should be done?"

Ruohan thought for a while, and said, "We must bring at least three hundred soldiers in the open, but we must prepare at least twice as many in secret."

He took the map on the wall, and said, "Since this group of gangsters appeared near Tangjiang, let these secret soldiers set out first in batches, and go here, here, and here to investigate." He pointed to the map Several forests near the Shangtang River.

"Judging from the frequency and time of those bandits' appearance, only these few mountains and forests may hide their tracks. However, this is all based on current intelligence."

"Considering that the information given by the emperor may be wrong, we can send spies out first, and we can also recruit some local martial arts figures along the way, which can not only expand our military force, but also obtain local intelligence."

"By the way, you can use the guise of "killing bandits and eliminating harm for the people". I believe those who claim to be righteous will definitely jump out unwilling to be lonely."

Ruohan clapped his hands and talked eloquently, remembering that he helped Zhuge Liang to make suggestions back then, and almost pissed off that jealous Zhou Yu, who always suspected that there was something between him and Zhuge Liang... Turning around, I saw Nangongyan looking at him strangely , suddenly startled.

His eyeballs rolled and he turned to smile, as if acting coquettishly, as if trying to flatter him, he grabbed Nan Gongyan's sleeve and said, "Do you think this method is good?" "

Nan Gongyan's eyes were burning, as if he was meeting Liu Ruohan for the first time, sizing him up.

Ruohan, who accidentally exposed his secrets, stuck out his tongue, but he didn't notice Nangongyan's eyes darken, but instead added, "I'm just talking on paper, I don't know if it's really feasible, I really want to do it There are bound to be a lot of problems.”

"But it's never wrong to be more prepared."

Nan Gongyan nodded, resisting the urge to embrace him, and discussed the whole plan with Liu Ruohan.

When Yan Wei who received the order came, he couldn't help asking, "Master, aren't you afraid that he was instructed by the forces behind him to set you up on purpose?"

Nan Gongyan shook his head slightly, and said, "No matter what force he comes from, he is not a big threat to me."

Yan Wei couldn't help but wanted to say respectful words again, but Nan Gongyan gave him a cold glance, and felt as if he had fallen into the icy flames of hell for a moment, his whole body was covered in cold sweat.

He shook his body and retreated, but he was secretly crying in his heart.

My lord probably didn't know what his expression was like just now, it was obviously doting, and it didn't appear even when he was with Master Yin Chen.

Yanwei felt that he had to be ready to accept a young lady as their other master.
