The loyal minister was forced to marry the traitor

Being avoided by Bai Yan, Xiao Jiuqin was a little unhappy, but he didn't say much when he saw that Bai Yan was clearly hiding something in his heart.

The carriage slowly set off on the road, Xiao Jiuqin stuffed a hand stove into Bai Yan's arms, and a gust of warm air wrapped his hands tightly in an instant.

Bai Yan patted off Xiao Jiuqin's big hands that were trying to wrap his hands tightly around his back, narrowed his eyes, "Be honest."

Xiao Jiuqin was an inch taller than Bai Yan when he was sitting upright, especially when Bai Yan was sitting curled up, the two of them were like a big cat staring at his lazy rabbit.

"Bai Yan."

"En." Bai Yan moved slightly.

At that time, there was a small stove for making tea in the pavilion, so it didn't feel cold, but after drinking a few cups of tea, he walked out of the section outside the palace gate, and was drenched in the cold wind, and occasionally his forehead hurt like a pinprick. Slowly, it got serious.

"Uncomfortable?" Xiao Jiuqin put his big hand on Bai Yan's forehead, and rubbed it lightly when he left. Bai Yan didn't notice it, and nodded as he said, "I have a headache."

When Xiao Jiuqin heard this, he directly dragged him into his arms, exerting so much force just a moment ago, when his fingers touched Bai Yan's forehead, he released the force again, and massaged him one by one.

"Why didn't you attack me this time?" Bai Yan felt a lot more comfortable after being massaged by him, and couldn't help it. He half-closed his eyes, and his eyelashes trembled.

Xiao Jiuqin could see Yanli in his brows and eyes when he bowed his head. No matter how many times he looked at Bai Yan like this, he wanted to bully this person severely.

Without doing anything else, I just want to rub the corners of his eyes red, so that the tears don't fall.

Mr. Bai didn't know at all what the man in front of him thought he was inferior to a beast. The two of them were so close that when Xiao Jiuqin spoke, he could feel the vibration in his chest.

"You never have a long memory, is it useful to scold you?"

Bai Yan opened his eyes and looked up at Xiao Jiuqin, "Whether you have a long memory or not depends on time."

These words seemed to be provocative, Xiao Jiuqin moved his heart at will, pressed his fingertips to the end of Bai Yan's eyes, and twisted them.

"?" Bai Yan was puzzled.

"I really want to beat you so hard that you can't get out of bed." Xiao Jiuqin originally wanted to surround this person to support himself, but when he heard this, Bai Yan's eyelids lifted, "Other people are making people so hard that they can't get out of bed, As long as you move your fists and feet, you are still a baby."

In fact, Bai Yan was just used to talking badly, but these words had a different meaning in Xiao Jiuqin's ears. His eyes darkened, staring at Bai Yan, suddenly thinking about the feasibility of this method.

Bai Yan was not afraid of being stared at by those eyes, and said calmly, "If you can deal with Duanxiu, the ancestors of the Xiao family should come looking for you in the middle of the night."

"Bai Yan..." Xiao Jiuqin didn't give up the pressure, and sat back directly, while supporting Bai Yan to sit upright.

"What are you doing?" He massaged it quite comfortably, but it was a pity that he stopped Bai Yan suddenly.

"You hang the broken sleeve by your lips every day, are you afraid of what I will do to you?" Xiao Jiuqin's eyes were gloomy, Bai Yan was slightly startled, and the next moment he suddenly laughed, "Do you think I will be afraid?"

Xiao Jiuqin stared at Bai Yan closely, "Aren't you afraid?"

"Naturally." Bai Yan was stubborn.

"That's good," Xiao Jiuqin suddenly leaned over and poked his fingers directly towards Bai Yan's waist.

Bai Yan's body was slightly stiff, but he didn't move. He guessed that Xiao Jiuqin was just trying to scare him.After all, we have been together day by day for ten years, and I don't see this guy has any plans for men.

Xiao Jiuqin untied Bai Yan's belt bit by bit with his fingers, without stopping, the rustling sound was very obvious in the quiet carriage.

Bai Yan was only wearing an inner garment and an outer robe, Xiao Jiuqin brushed the texture of the robe with his fingertips, inexplicably overflowing with an unspeakable charm.

"Cough..." Bai Yan coughed unnaturally twice, pressed Xiao Jiuqin's hand, "Don't make trouble."

Xiao Jiuqin raised his eyebrows, "Aren't you afraid that I will touch you?"

"It's almost here, there's not enough time on the road," Bai Yan's eyes drifted, "Or, you can't do it, it's time to... vent..."

Xiao Jiuqin coughed violently, "You...you..." He was almost pissed off by Bai Yan, "After all, he is also a closed disciple of the great Confucianism in the dynasty, why are you so...unpretentious!"

Bai Yan had an innocent look on his face, "Love is a matter of basic ethics and human nature, so why bother to cover it up."

He glanced at Xiao Jiuqin Xiasan Lu, "Could you be so young..."

"Nothing!" Xiao Jiuqin blushed, and took a pillow to block Bai Yan's burning gaze, "You don't have the consciousness of breaking your sleeve at all!"

The accusation in the words was too obvious, Bai Yan even felt a little guilty when he heard it, after all, Xiao Jiuqin, a young boy, had been living in northern Xinjiang for five years, probably never even held the little girl's hand , It's pretty miserable when you think about it carefully.

"By the way, isn't there a girl you like in Northern Xinjiang?" It was inevitable that Xiao Jiuqin would beat him to death, so Bai Yan changed the subject wisely.

Xiao Jiuqin breathed a sigh of relief, and lay back, "No, even the dogs in the barracks are male."

"How did I hear that on the Lantern Festival last year, a lady from a certain prefecture personally brought a team of chariots and horses to deliver food and clothing to you. Well, I don't know who chatted with her for a long time..."

His tone was teasing, but in the end he felt a little sour, and his words were still contrived, as if he deliberately poached a hole for someone with a slightly controlled tone.

Xiao Jiuqin had a toothache, "There is such a thing, but..." He narrowed his eyes, "Where did you know that?"

"You planted spies in Northern Xinjiang?" Xiao Jiuqin stared at Bai Yan, "On purpose?"

"Of course it was intentional." Bai Yan pulled the tassels on the pillow, and the old god was there, "There are countless forces in northern Xinjiang, if I don't get involved, how can I not be overwhelmed in everything."

"It's true that the lady from the official family gave food and clothing, and it's true that she had a long talk with me, but we are both innocent and there is nothing out of the ordinary. There are two maidservants and a cook standing where we are talking... And still in the barracks."

Although Xiao Jiuqin is a martial artist, he knows how important a woman's reputation is. Even in northern Xinjiang, the defense of men and women is not as strict as Yingdu, but he didn't intend to have anything to do with that woman, so he said something from the beginning Be clear.

Fortunately, that woman is also a transparent person, she understands Xiao Jiuqin's euphemistic refusal very well, and she hasn't entangled her since that time.

After hearing Xiao Jiuqin's words, Bai Yan didn't want to admit that he felt much more relaxed.He tossed and turned when he first learned about this from the spies last year. He knew that it was impossible for him and Xiao Jiuqin to reach that point, but jealousy was inevitable.

Especially since Wowotou was not around, he was always in fear, fearing that someone would snatch it away.

Alas, it wasn't his Wowotou in the first place, but it gave birth to a domineering possessive desire.

"Why are you sighing?" Xiao Jiuqin ruffled Bai Yan's hair, even loosening his neat bun.

"It's nothing, it's just mediocrity." Bai Yan was discouraged, and while despising his pretentiousness, he couldn't help but push people away.

He thought, I'm probably the most shameless broken sleeve in the world.

The carriage has not arrived after walking for so long, Bai Yan lifted the curtain to look at it, then turned to look at Xiao Jiuqin, "This is the way to the Hou's Mansion."

"Ah."

"I want to go back to the mansion." Bai Yan made a gesture to call the groom, but was grabbed by Xiao Jiuqin, "So you don't want to follow me back?"

"No," Bai Yan subconsciously denied, Xiao Jiuqin's face looked better, but the next moment he heard Bai Yan say, "I promised Bai Qi to go back, but not today."

"Bai Qi?" Xiao Jiuqin frowned.

"It's the child I brought back to the mansion." Bai Yan explained, "I've only seen him once since I came back from Yongzhou mansion. He's been in the academy for the past few days. Today I promised him to go back."

Bai Yan's attitude was very firm, Xiao Jiuqin wanted to ask him something, but he kept the words down, and he sent the groom to turn the car around.

The two were speechless.

At the gate of Bai Mansion, Bai Yan got off the carriage, and Xiao Jiuqin sat in the carriage.

"Let's go."

The groom drove the carriage, and Bai Yan stood on the steps, slowly looking away.

"Brother!" Bai Qi's voice suddenly sounded behind him, and when Bai Yan turned his head, he saw the little guy running over with a hand stove in his arms.

"Run slowly." Bai Yan walked in, took the child into his arms, and within a short period of time, Bai Qi had already changed his appearance.

Uncle Xiao's daily application of medicine on the frostbitten cheeks has healed a lot, and the hair has become a lot softer. Bai Yan stretched out his hand and rubbed it, "Why don't you stay indoors in such a cold day, why run out?"

"Uncle Xiao said that my brother is coming back soon, so I came over to take a look. I just came out, and I didn't catch the cold." He was originally a half-child, and his cleverness was on his face. When he saw Bai Yan, he felt happy and sad. cover up.

"Where did he just come out? He clearly came out to look over and over again. Yue Xi yelled and added another shirt to him, otherwise this kid would have been frozen and stupid by now." Uncle Xiao pierced Bai Qi's lies with his sleeves in his hands. The child pouted, "Uncle Xiao..."

"It seems that you are not only disobedient, but also dare to lie to me?" Bai Yan pinched the little guy's face, "Next time if you run out in cold weather, you will be fined not to eat."

"Don't dare anymore..." Bai Qi admitted his mistake quickly, pouted his mouth, and looked more aggrieved than anyone else.

Bai Yan laughed, "Okay, okay, I'll let you go this time, let's go to the house." He took Bai Qi into his arms and walked inside. Uncle Xiao looked at the backs of the two of them, and his heart softened.

grown up……

"I heard from Uncle Xiao that you can write a lot of big characters now." Bai Yan and Bai Qi sat in the study room, the two huge smoke cages were very hot, and they warmed their hands and feet thoroughly in a short while.

Bai Qi stood by the table, dipped in the ink, and wrote two characters first - "Bo Yan".

A trace of appreciation flashed in Bai Yan's eyes, "That's right."

The corners of Bai Qi's mouth could not help but curl up, and he wrote two more characters, this time it was his own name, but the character "Qi" had a lot of strokes, it looked bigger than "Bai".

"Brother..." Bai Qi wanted to cover it with his hands, but Bai Yan had already seen it, and he pursed his lips, "I wrote so ugly..."

Clearly, he had practiced countless times before, but he became like this as soon as he got in front of Bai Yan. The little guy's face turned red, and his hand holding the brush turned red.

"It's okay, you just started learning, don't be eager for quick success." Bai Yan walked over to wrap the little guy's hand, and led him to write it again.

"You already have strength in your pen, but you are a little nervous when you write. Besides, writing is like a human being. You must not shrink back. Once you set your goal, don't turn back easily."

Bai Yan did not underestimate Bai Qi because of his young age, he made the best use of the situation and taught Bai Qi many things that his master would never teach in class.

Later in the meal, only Bai Yan, Bai Qi and Xiao Shu were on the table, Yue Xi and others were also driven out.

"You have suffered this time in Yongzhou Mansion." Uncle Xiao didn't move his chopsticks, looking at Bai Yan with distress in his eyes.

Bai Yan knew that Uncle Xiao couldn't be ignorant, so he sat upright, as if he was listening to the training.

"You..." If Bai Yan choked him a few words, Uncle Xiao would probably be able to reprimand him a few words, but with a downcast look, that little guy Bai Qi looked at Uncle Xiao anxiously, lest he would take Bai Yan What's the matter.

"Forget it, you've all grown up, I'm a person who is about to be buried in the ground, how can I control you..." Uncle Xiao took food for the two of them, and sighed again, "I have nothing to hope for until now, I just One, you're all fine."

This "you" obviously refers to more than just Bai Yan and Bai Qi.

Bai Yan raised his eyes and nodded, "I will protect him."

"I don't want you to protect him!" Uncle Xiao suddenly said loudly, "You two need to support each other, it's support!" He seemed to be aroused by some kind of resentment, "It's either that I'm willing to die for you or I'm good to you, yes Both of them are living well, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles they encounter, as long as they are alive..."

Uncle Xiao has fought on the battlefield for many years and is used to seeing life and death, but the more he kills, the more he feels that human life is precious.

To be alive is the greatest luck, he doesn't seek to be famous, he only hopes that Bai Yan, Xiao Jiuqin and the others can live well.

"Uncle Xiao, we will live well." Bai Yan looked at him firmly, "I used to be patient when Xiao Jiuqin was in Northern Xinjiang, but now that he is back, it is even more impossible for me to casually confess my life. "

Maybe five years ago, he was cowardly and thought about dying cleanly, but now with Xiao Jiuqin, Xiao Shu, Bai Qi, Yan Ruli and others, Bai Yan never thought about dying again.

----

After dinner, Bai Yan accompanied Uncle Xiao and Bai Qi to talk for a while, the little guy insisted on him and refused to go to sleep, Bai Yan had no choice but to accompany the little guy to sleep before returning to his yard.

Yuexi called people to boil the water, and the tub was placed in the middle.

Bai Yan sent them out, took off his clothes and went in.

The wind blew outside, and the rain also took advantage of the wind to dance wildly and hit the window lattice.Accompanied by the sound of wind and rain, Bai Yan felt drowsy.

"Pa-ta..." With the sound of something falling on the ground, Bai Yan suddenly opened his eyes, "Who?"

It was quiet.

After thinking about it, he casually wrapped up the coat on the hanger and walked towards the screen with bare feet.

There was nothing in sight, a window was wide open, raindrops hit the table by the window, the cold wind blowing in engulfed the paper on the table and rustled, Bai Yan walked over and took the inkstone to cover the paper.The candle flames were indistinct, casting a shadow directly on Bai Yan's face.

"Boom..." For a moment, Bai Yan couldn't tell whether it was a heartbeat or something else, and suddenly a shadow fell towards him from behind him.

Immediately, Bai Yan quickly picked up the inkstone and threw it at the shadow, but unexpectedly, a big hand wrapped around his waist and dragged him directly, the familiar face hit his line of sight, and his breath was warm.

"Xiao Jiuqin?" Bai Yan's voice became hoarse.

The inkstone in his hand was snatched away by Xiao Jiuqin long ago, and there was a clear smile in the air, "Do you want to murder?"

"Why are you here?" Bai Yan was indeed taken aback, his eyes flickered, "It's raining so hard, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"

"I didn't do anything wrong, but someone is so vigilant..."
