Rebirth of Yongle Merry

Chapter 24 The Truth of Rebirth

The bright light from the bonfire reflected on Shen Yunxu's handsome eyebrows, and the burnt aroma of grilled fish wafted in the air.

Zhu Quan washed his hands, turned around and saw Shen Yunxu sitting beside the fire, lost in thought.He walked around behind him, wrapped his arms around his neck, and pressed him close.

"Yun Xu!"

The sharp-edged chin rubbed against the ears, and the roots of Shen Yunxu's ears were scorched by the hot breath he exhaled.He dodged slightly, "Your Highness Seventeen, don't do this, it's so itchy."

"Call me Seventeen from now on, okay?"

Zhu Quan continued to rub against his face obsessively. Shen Yunxu always had such a fascinating and clean aura. When they met for the first time in Gouling Mountain, he fell in love with this kind of flowers and plants. The smell is as good as the smell.It's just that at that time, he couldn't even touch him more.Now, finally, the man was his.

"Yunxu, you have been sitting still, did I hurt you just now?"

"No, I'm just a little tired."

Shen Yunxu raised his head, his jade-like black eyes reflected the light of the silver moon, and Zhu Quan felt palpitations after seeing it.

He murmured, "Yun Xu, Yun Xu!"

Shen Yunxu was disturbed by Zhu Quan's low calls again and again, and he couldn't harden his heart towards the young man in front of him who loved him wholeheartedly.Just now, he was extremely tired and fell asleep on the reed grass, and it was Zhu Quan who woke him up. ... He kissed his lips, took off his clothes under the moonlight, reached in and touched every inch of his cool skin.

Before he fell asleep, he thought of Zhu Di, and the experience of the past year and a half. His heart, which was emptied by the night wind, was filled with his fiery hugs and kisses, so he didn't reject him in the end.Even if it was the rebirth of the second life, he was the only person who hugged him from the beginning to the end, this boy who was nine years younger than him.

"Yun Xu, you won't leave me in the future, will you?"

Zhu Quan had the urge to cry. Under the silver moonlight, Shen Yunxu's face was gentle and calm, just like the gurgling river beside him.He was afraid that such beauty would not be grasped firmly, and it would disappear in an instant. Like that time after watching the autumn tide in Qiantang, the person in front of him was taken away by criminal soldiers, and he turned into a cold and stiff corpse overnight. .

"I'm not here well?"

Shen Yunxu lay on his back on the reed grass, and Zhu Quan also lay down beside him.

The two were close to each other, with their heads resting on their hands, letting the starlight fall on them.Zhu Quan really had been staring at such a beautiful starlight for too long. When he was still on Gouling Mountain, when he was still a snow-white fox, he often stayed with his companions, lying under the starlight at night and eating dew in the morning.

He didn't want to hide anything from Shen Yunxu anymore.

"Yun Xu, you asked me why I knew you were reborn after death, and I will tell you the whole story now."

Shen Yunxu looked at the starlight that had been shining since ancient times, and the night wind was blowing on his face. He was in a peaceful trance, and suddenly heard Zhu Quan beside him speak, his heart skipped a beat, and he turned his face to look at him.Zhu Quan said word by word: "Go to sleep right now, and if you dare to wake me up again, when you get home tomorrow, I will hand you over to Sanniang to peel and make a scarf for you. Do you understand?"

"Impossible, how is this possible?!"

Shen Yunxu sat up abruptly, looking at Zhu Quan with disbelief.

These are the exact words he used to say, even the tone of voice is exactly the same!He only told a fox in the inn on the way back to Hangzhou!

"Before I met you on Gouling Mountain, I had already practiced Taoism."

There was a bitter smile on Zhu Quan's lips. He raised his head and looked at Shen Yunxu, "Yunxu, you can be reborn after death. It's because Master couldn't bear to see me sad, so he sacrificed 20 years of mana to cast spells for you. As long as Avoid the catastrophe in Ti Xing Prison, and you will not die so easily."

"...All of this turned out to be true."

Shen Yunxu muttered to himself, it was only a short time from doubt to belief.

Since he can be reborn after death, why is it impossible for a fox to become an adult?Yao Ping once said that Zhu Quan was serious and self-disciplined more than a year ago, because of a very serious arrow wound, he would only become his current temperament after healed.Everything fit perfectly, and he finally understood where Zhu Quan's love for him came from, and there was such a relationship between them!

"You already know everything, will you dislike me as a beast?"

Zhu Quan's hands were frozen in the air, wanting to hug him but not sure.

Shen Yunxu doesn't know how to describe his complicated mood, distress and pity, does this young man like him so much?She even gave up the immortality gained from a hundred years of practice for him, just to follow him.He stretched out his hand to caress Zhu Quan's handsome eyebrows, thinking of his aura standing in front of thousands of troops, looking down on the world... What did he experience during the year he was looking for him?

"It's hard for you, it's really hard for you."

"Yun Xu!"

Zhu Quan pressed his hand, and the tears streaming down the side of his face fell into Shen Yunxu's palm.

If what is in front of you is a dream, don't let him wake up too quickly.

He loves this person to the core, even if he loses all his cultivation, even if it is difficult to adapt to being a prince, no matter how much he suffers for him, it is worth it.

"Seventeen, don't be sad."

Hot tears wet his palms, and mist rose from Shen Yunxu's eyes, making it almost impossible to see.

He was beaten in prison, tortured to death, and the extreme pain seemed to be attached to his bones.Helpless, cold, and pain in the bones of maggots, every time he thinks about it, he wakes up in a cold sweat in his dream.He didn't know if he would die suddenly, and he always had the feeling of standing on a cliff, and now he could finally feel at ease, because no matter what he went through, there was this person by his side.

Zhu Quan leaned his body over, and he stretched out his arms to hug him, and the two hugged each other for a long time under the starlight.

The sky was gradually getting brighter, and there were voices walking outside the camp, and horses' hoofs trampled on it from time to time, and the fierce horse neighed.Shen Yunxu opened his eyes and woke up, still stuck in the scene of embracing Zhu Quan in the reeds by the river last night.He stretched out his hand to touch his side, Zhu Quan was no longer there, the Naadam Conference was held in the fief, and he had something to do every day.

"The Seventeenth Prince of the dynasty is actually a fox!"

Shen Yunxu shook his head in disbelief.

The scene of last night is real, all this is not a dream.Although he woke up with his eyes open, there was a limp tiredness in his limbs and bones. He was lying on the bed, and he still didn't want to get up for a long time.

"My lord, are you up yet?"

Shen Kunwu poked his head in from outside the tent, and Shen Yunxu slowly sat up from the bed.Shen Kunwu handed him a wrung cloth towel to wipe his face, and then skillfully tied his hair.Shen Yunxu took half a beat to react, "Kunwu, I won't practice riding a horse today."

"Oh."

Shen Kunwu loosened his already bundled hair, recombed it into a usual hairstyle, and tied a lake blue hair scarf.He left the camp for a while, and when he came back, Shen Yunxu had already put on his shoes.He handed a small box of ointment to Shen Yunxu's hand, and said with a blushing face, "Master, you will feel better after applying the ointment."

"Potion?"

Shen Yunxu was puzzled at first, but when he understood, his face was on fire.

He whispered softly: "Kunwu!"

Shen Kunwu was scolded by him and lowered his head, "Master, you rode away yesterday, His Royal Highness King Ning got on the horse and chased you like crazy. Brother Qi said that he can see a person's mind clearly at a critical moment. Really nice to you."

A sourness welled up in his eyes, and Shen Yunxu paused for a while before he calmed down.

"Kunwu, you can borrow a carriage from Yao Ping, and tell your big brother Qi that we will go for a walk in the lower reaches of the Xilamulun River."

He promised to make an hourglass of agate sand for Zhu Quan himself, but it was not easy to collect the materials. Maybe he could find bright silver sand in the lower reaches of the river, so that he could make the same beautiful hourglass for him.His whole heart was sore and hurt by Zhu Quan. This stupid fox, how can he make up for the pain he has suffered?

The clear river was flowing, and the elms on both sides were lush and green. Shen Yunxu and Shen Kunwu drove along the river in a carriage.Stones that have been scoured by the water can be seen everywhere, and when the sun shines, the valley is shining like pearls and jade.

Shen Yunxu got out of the carriage, bent over to pick up a small stone in the river beach.

"Kunwu, come and see this stone."

He lifted up the stone in his hand. Under the sunlight, the stone appeared translucent, moist and fine in texture, and colorful.Shen Kunwu probed over, "It's really beautiful, young master, do you want to pick up some more?"

"No."

Shen Yunxu rolled up his robe and walked straight along the river valley, stopping from time to time to pick up a stone or two for inspection.After walking a long way, after crossing the embankment, there is a large area of ​​mountains in front of you, which can't be seen at a glance.Shen Kunwu watched as Shen Yunxu walked over, pulled out the weeds covering the stones, dug up the red soil with his bare hands, and stroked the exposed stones as if they were treasures.

"Kunwu, here is a whole mine of pyrophyllite."

"Pyrophyllite?"

"Pyrophyllite is the same as Shoushan stone in Fujian and Qingtian stone in Zhejiang. The stone is brittle and soft, and it is an excellent material for carving. If it is mined, processed and shipped to the south, it will definitely bring a lot of income."

Shen Kunwu opened his eyes wide, "My lord, do you want to run the business?"

Shen Yunxu knocked him on the head, "This is the fiefdom of His Royal Highness Seventeen, and the mine is also his. Of course, he must order it to mine."

Zhu Quan has [-] troops in his hands, including the cavalry of the Mongolian Wulianghabu Taining, Fuyu, and Duoyan Sanwei who had surrendered from the Yuan Dynasty.Zhu Di's annual salary from the imperial court is [-] shilumi, plus [-] guanqian. Zhu Quan is also the king of a frontier like him, but the treatment is not as good as him. In addition, Zhu Di has been in Beiping for many years. , has his own business, so in comparison, Zhu Quan's King Ning is quite stretched.

The pyrophyllite deposit in front of me has at least dozens of colors, bloodstone, suet jelly, agate jelly, peach blossom jelly, golden material, and multicolored stone. If they can be made into carved pieces and sold, Zhu Quan can easily spend on military expenses. Come down a lot.

Shen Yunxu picked out a few stones with unique designs and asked Shen Kunwu to move them into the carriage. After searching for a long time in the mountains, he finally found a pyrophyllite whose shape and color satisfied him.There was no need to look for Liangyinsha along the river valley anymore, he wanted to carve a unique multicolored stone seal for Zhu Quan.

When returning to the river valley, he accidentally ran into the guards of King Yan's Mansion.They came all the way from Beiping, sitting on rocks in twos and threes to rest.Shen Yunxu immediately thought that the Naadam Conference would be held tomorrow, and Zhu Di led his staff to finally arrive one day earlier.

Seeing Zhu Di dismounting and approaching, Shen Yunxu quickly stepped forward to salute.

"My lord!"

Half a year later, Zhu Di still looks handsome.He looked Shen Yunxu up and down, "Yunxu, your appearance has hardly changed."

"Thanks to the prince."

Shen Yunxu lowered his eyes slightly, and he almost became Zhu Di's man. When they met at this moment, he had no way to act as if nothing had happened. Zhu Di's influence on him still existed.It seemed that Zhu Di sighed in his ears, he raised his head, and what he met was the other party's faint purple eyes, revealing a trace of melancholy.

He only felt a throbbing in his heart.

"Yunxu, have you been by Shiqi's side all this time?"

"Ah."

Zhu Di looked away and looked at the river flowing in front of him calmly, "What are you doing here?"

"I found a mine of pyrophyllite here."

Shen Yunxu spread out his palms and presented the pyrophyllite with beautiful colors and shapes to Zhu Di for viewing.Zhu Di picked up the stone and looked closely at the sun.

"What's so special about this stone?"

"Both Shoushan stone and Qingtian stone are excellent materials for carvings. However, in a few years, folks will play with stones more and more. Mineral reserves are scarce, and pyrophyllite will come in handy."

Zhu Di looked at Shen Yunxu in puzzlement, "How did you see that the wind of playing with stones will become more and more intense?"

The biggest reason Shen Yunxu was able to say with certainty that the wind of playing with stones was flourishing was that he had a personal experience, seeing merchants in the south of the Yangtze River lose their fortunes for a pile of stones, but he couldn't explain these details related to rebirth to Zhu Di in detail. To say it, I can only say: "The formation of the plaything culture, there are still roots to be found, but the prince didn't pay attention."

Zhu Di slowly closed his palms and held the stone tightly.

"Yun Xu, has this king missed you?"

Under the sunlight, Zhu Di's purple eyes were almost translucent like pyrophyllite, and Shen Yunxu turned his head away.The man in front of him shouldn't be an indecisive person, but why, on top of treating his feelings, did he come back again and again after the fact?

There was a burst of exclamation from the guards of Prince Yan's Mansion behind him, Shen Yunxu saw Yi Wei standing by the river, the short bow in his hand stretched like a full moon, and shot an arrow sharply.The sharp arrow crossed the wide river and hit the young deer on the opposite bank that was drinking the water!
