return to peace

"Young master, please stay."

Chu Lingshang was about to go through the Moon Gate to Ji Fan's residence when he was suddenly stopped by Lin Feng behind him.

He turned his head, under the dim night light, Lin Feng's expression was dim.

He waved his hand, and the servants retreated one after another.He sat down on the stone bench beside the road, looked at Lin Feng leisurely, but did not speak.

The forest at night rustled in the night wind.Lin Feng put the cloak in his hand on Chu Lingshang's shoulders, and Chu Lingshang turned his head to look.

"The night is as cold as water, young master, keep warm."

Chu Lingshang was noncommittal and remained silent.In fact, since he knew that Lin Feng was acting as an internal response for Chu Zexi, although he didn't make it clear, he gradually alienated him.How much he trusted him in the past, and how chilling he is now, but before he fully understood, he was still reluctant to expel him.

He didn't want the master and servant to tear each other apart, but what should come will always come.

Lin Feng knelt down silently, and the night wind blew his hair up. Only then did Chen Lingshang realize that he seemed to have lost weight.

"My lord, Lin Fengqiu and General Ji are going to the wilderness together." The taciturn guard lowered his head, making it hard to see his expression.

The night is as cool as water, and the trees are in an uproar. Under the night lamp, a pair of master and servant, one kneeling and the other sitting, are flowing secretly.

After a long time, Chu Lingshang said, "Why?"

"Lin Feng, I want to make amends."

An understatement of a sentence hides many sins that are borne day and night.Chu Lingshang seemed to hear a sigh.

"Lin Feng, it started when I went to Chen country a long time ago. Ji Fan's mother, you must have disclosed the news of Ji Fan's outskirts of Qucheng and Ji Fan to the king." Chen Lingshang finally spoke out the truth that he already knew in his heart but kept secret.

Lin Feng lowered his head, his hair hanging down to cover his eyes, like a silent beast.

Chu Lingshang smiled self-deprecatingly: "It was my negligence. I underestimated the king. I didn't expect him to be so decisive. He even colluded with Chen Jingxuan to kill Ji Fan without telling me. I also underestimated you. Thinking that you are the head of the hidden guards, and you only obey the orders of the King of Xiliang."

"My lord," Lin Feng finally raised his head and looked directly at Chu Lingshang: "I have been trained as the head of the dark guards since I was a child. I don't deny that the former king sent me to you to monitor you. Since you have entered Since the second year under Si Ran Guoshi's sect, he never summoned me again, but asked me to protect you by your side and become your real personal guard. I thought this was my mission. But the assassination case of Ma Lingpo After that, the king suddenly found me and asked me to monitor every move of you and General Ji. The king is the established monarch, and I have no choice but to obey. Unconditional loyalty to the king of Xiliang is the mission of our family, and it is also the mission of our family. A fate I cannot escape."

In Chu Lingshang's impression, he had never said so many words, and he did not expect that the master and servant would be so heavy when they were open and honest for the first time.

"I guessed it. In fact, I should have thought of it a long time ago. Lin Feng and the two trees were taken apart and combined with the wind. It is the maple leaf. And the maple leaf order is the order of the head of the hidden guard. If I guessed correctly, your There should be a mark in the shape of a maple leaf on the right shoulder."

Chu Lingshang leaned over, and lightly covered Lin Feng's right shoulder with his hand.The temperature of the palm of his hand through the layers of clothes was not warm, but it seemed to burn the brand on his right shoulder.

"However, I still want to thank you for saving Ji Fan. On the tenth day of December, the king sent Wei Xi to intercept and kill him. After you knew the news, you went quietly to save him. Lin Feng, you are the leader of the hidden guards. Allegiance to the King of Xiliang, why did you disobey his orders?"

This is also a point that Chu Lingshang can't understand. Lin Feng is loyal to Chu Zexi, but secretly helps Ji Fan. Why is it so difficult for both sides?Chu Lingshang looked at the guard who was kneeling in front of him, silently lowering his head, with complicated emotions in his heart.

The night wind blew past, and after a long time, Lin Feng said, "Lin Feng, I don't want you to be sad."

Chen Lingshang had calculated thousands of times, but he didn't find the answer. It was so simple, but it hit people's hearts so directly.They have been together day and night for more than ten years, but in the end they still retain their affection.

"Are you free now?"

"become free."

"Then you can go."

"Thank you sir."

Chu Lingshang stood up, just about to turn around the moon gate, thought for a while and then folded back, took off the cloak on his shoulders, put it on the shoulders of Lin Feng who was kneeling on the ground, and then turned and left.

Lin Feng watched his back disappear into the pavilions, and then slowly stood up. He turned his head, looked at the cloak on his shoulders, and gently stroked it with his hand, as if he could still sense the cloak of the previous master. body temperature.

Chu Lingshang finally forgave him.

Entering the small courtyard, the door of Ji Fan's room was slightly closed. Through the crack of the door, Chu Lingshang saw that Ji Fan was wiping the sword in his hand. His hair was wet on his shoulders, and a large piece of his clothes were wet. good.

Chen Lingshang pushed the door open and entered, "Why don't you wipe your hair?"

Seeing him coming, Ji Fan put down the sword in his hand and said with a smile, "It's already early summer, my hair dries quickly, so I'm going to be lazy."

Chen Lingshang took the clean towel hanging beside him, held his hair in his hand, and wiped it gently.

"Your injury is not healed yet, you need to take good care of it."

Ji Fan secretly twirled through a lock of hair that Chu Lingshang had just bathed in, and felt relieved when he saw that it was completely dry.Hearing him say this again, he laughed in his heart, how could he become so expensive again, but he still promised again and again.

He closed his eyes, relaxed himself, and felt the force of Chen Lingshang's gentle wiping.

"Xiaofan."

"Ok?"

"Lin Feng wants to go to the Wilderness with you."

Ji Fan opened his eyes and asked, "Why?"

"You can ask him about this yourself. However, it's good for two people to take care of each other."

Ji Fan recalled the day when the two confronted each other on the roof.

In the end, though, he said, "Okay."

Chu Lingshang did not tell Ji Fan the truth, he thought it was better for Lin Feng to tell him the truth himself.

It's not cold in early summer after all.Chu Lingshang wiped her hair a little, her hair was already half dry.He hung up the towel again, took out the ointment from the cabinet, and called, "It's time to apply the ointment."

Ji Fan tied up his hair casually, took off his clothes, and lay down on the bed.After resting for two months, he basically recovered inside and out, but Chu Lingshang was always worried, and came over every day to help him apply the medicine.

Chu Lingshang poured some ointment from the small bottle on his hand, and gently wiped it on the welt marks on Ji Fan's back.This is the torture that Ji Fan suffered during those three days in prison, the scabs have already fallen off, and what remains are reddish marks.Even though he had taken the medicine many times, Chen Lingshang still felt a dull pain in his heart.After treating the injury on his back, Ji Fan put on his clothes and sat cross-legged.

The arrow wound on his chest has healed, but there is only a scar left, which is still shocking to this day.The scar on the shoulder was left by the assassination of Ma Lingpo.There are also some small scars left by those years that he didn't know.

Chu Lingshang changed a bottle of medicine, and carefully stroked every scar on him, the faint fragrance of the medicine diffused across his fingertips.He was so attentive and meticulous that his hands reached his waist, but he was caught.

As soon as he raised his head, he saw Ji Fan's clear eyes were looking at him, but there was an inexplicable look on his face.

Chu Lingshang suddenly felt a strange feeling, and felt a little nervous.He asked softly: "What's wrong?"

"I will do it myself."

"why?"

Ji Fan pursed his lips and didn't answer, but his hand seemed to be a little tighter.

Chu Lingshang couldn't bear his focused gaze, lowered his head and was about to pull his hand out, when his chin was lifted, and his eager lips pressed over.His hands loosened subconsciously, and Ji Fan caught the medicine bottle and quickly put it on the low table beside the bed.

The lips and teeth are entangled and cannot be refused.Between his lips and teeth, Chu Lingshang heard Ji Fan's suppressed panting, and he was not used to the strange desire.But every minute he stepped back, Ji Fan would advance an inch, his hand was firmly pressed on the back of his head, there was no way to escape.

His waist was hugged, and he was pressed on the bed in a whirl.The hairpin was removed, and any black hair covered the pillow towel.

Ji Fan gently pulled his broken hair scattered on his forehead behind his ears, and gently stroked his face. The love that was overflowing in his eyes made Chu Lingshang's face slightly hot, and even his earlobes They all started to turn red.

Ji Fan chuckled, took off his hairband, and gently lowered his head to kiss her.The candles in the house were extinguished by the wind with his fingers, and the bed curtain was pulled down. In the confined and small space, there was the most primitive attraction between two lovers.

There is no fierceness like a beast, only the deepest love and the most gentle touch.

Lingshang, Lingshang, who is whispering in the ear.Chu Lingshang felt like a drowning person, and Ji Fan was the only driftwood.

The clothes faded away, and Chen Lingshang put his hand on Ji Fan's back lightly, letting waves of strange pleasure in his body overwhelm him.In the mist, through the moonlight through the gap in the bed curtain, Chu Lingshang saw the scar on Ji Fan's chest. His heart ached, and he subconsciously hugged Ji Fan tightly.

"What's wrong?" Ji Fan stopped, bit his earlobe lightly, and asked.

Chu Lingshang hugged Ji Fan tightly, didn't say anything, just shook his head lightly.

"Ling Shang, don't be afraid." Ji Fan murmured softly.

Hearing the voice next to his ear, Chu Lingshang relaxed even more, and let himself sink a little bit indulgently.Ji Fan gently kissed his neck, bit his collarbone lightly, kissed his chest, his waist, until....

"Don't." With a hoarse voice, Chu Lingshang subconsciously grabbed Ji Fan's hair, trying to pull him up.But Ji Fan gently opened his hands, interlocking his fingers, and pressed them on the bed.

The turbulent emotion mixed with pleasure came overwhelmingly, and Chen Lingshang couldn't bear it any longer, and groaned softly.In the ups and downs of desire, he thought of their carefree childhood, the acquaintance and love after their first meeting, and the painful years after they separated. It turns out that they have experienced so much together.

The indescribable love in his heart seemed to be expressed only through his body. In the unbearable sinking, Chu Lingshang's mind suddenly went blank, and he couldn't help but softly called out: "Ji Fan."

He has always been reserved, and only when he is pushed to the extreme can he get a glimpse of his true heart.

After being released, as if trapped in a void, Ji Fan climbed up and kissed him delicately, the smell of medicine mixed with him.Between lips and teeth, the place of shame was lightly touched, and he was a little nervous again.

"Don't be afraid, Ling Shang, don't be afraid." Ji Fan comforted gently.

Chu Lingshang knew that he was not feeling well, so he tried to relax his body. From the bottom of his heart, he also wanted to be one with him.After an unknown amount of time, Chen Lingshang let out a low snort as he gently poked in with his fingers that were stained with blood.

"Does it hurt?" Ji Fan suppressed himself, not daring to act rashly, sweat dripped on Chu Lingshang's face.

Chu Lingshang took a deep breath, shook his head, afraid that he might not see, and said, "It doesn't hurt."

Ji Fan fell down and buried him in his neck, kissing him delicately, moving one hand up and down, while the other patiently opened up, Chu Lingshang felt the fire in his body ignite again.

"I'm going in." Ji Fan said softly.

Chu Lingshang nodded, and before he could say a word, Ji Fan rushed in.

"Ah." Before he could call out, his voice was sealed between his lips and teeth.It hurts, it hurts too much.

Ji Fan kissed him patiently without daring to move.It wasn't until Chu Lingshang's body gradually relaxed that he moved tentatively, which caused Chu Lingshang to hum again.

"Does it hurt?" Ji Fan had already done a lot of preparation work, but he didn't expect that Chu Lingshang would be in such pain.

Chu Lingshang hissed and took a few deep breaths. He wanted to touch Ji Fan's face, but his hand was sweaty. Suddenly, his heart softened.He resisted the dull pain coming from his lower body, and said softly: "It's okay, it's okay."

"You come."

These two words gave Ji Fan enough courage, he moved slowly but firmly, Chen Lingshang frowned first, enduring bouts of dull pain, his lower lip was bitten out of teeth marks, he couldn't bear it anymore There was a few soft hums, but suddenly Ji Fan bumped into a certain position, and a kind of pleasure that he had never felt before swept his whole body.

Hearing his changed tone, Ji Fan felt relieved and asked with a light smile, "Is it here?"

How could Chu Lingshang answer such a shameful question.Waves of unfamiliar pleasure overwhelmed the original pain, Chu Lingshang didn't know what was going on, bit his lip, and restrained himself from making a sound.

But Ji Fan insisted on him making a sound, so he kissed him delicately, forcing him to groan, sinking together.

The moonlight is just right, and the night is still long.
