.The corners of Wen Tao's mouth turned up, and when his hand touched the stubble on Pu Chen's face, he stopped. He looked at his face again and again. He had been in Sijian Pavilion for a year, and the appearance of this face was in his heart. I have described it thousands of times, but seeing each other suddenly at this moment, I feel a little strange.If it wasn't because of him, why would Pu Chen come here, humiliating himself like this?In the past, when he fought against Beiyan and married the eldest princess, he was so high-spirited, but now, he wants to waste his golden years here with hatred for him...

Suddenly, Pu Chen's breathing became a little stagnant, and he stroked his stomach unconsciously. This was a symptom of his hangover, and he would call for water after a while.Wen Tao thought for a while, held his breath and took out the incense for Pu Chen to smell. Pu Chen's breath that was a little stagnant just now became even again.Wen Tao took out the still warm jug from his bosom, which was filled with hangover soup. He straightened Pu Chen up, leaned against the head of the bed, and pointed the spout of the jug to Pu Chen's lips, and poured it little by little. go down.

I don't know if it's because the effect of the drug is too good, and more than half of the hangover soup poured in has flowed out.Wen Tao stopped quickly, glanced at the civet cat beside the bed who seemed to have great expectations for him, and smiled wryly. He wiped the hangover soup flowing down Puchen's neck with his cuff, and wiped it all the way up. , when he wiped the corner of his mouth, Wen Tao stopped his hand obsessively, leaned over and pressed his lips to the corner of Pu Chen's mouth, and Pu Chen's long-lost breath came overwhelmingly.Wen Tao had a flash of inspiration, remembering that Pu Chen used to spend his breath underwater for him during the Battle of Beiyan.He took a big gulp of hangover soup, and personally ferryed him in.Four lips touched, Pu Chen's teeth were closed tightly, Wen Tao stretched out the tip of his tongue unconsciously, Pu Chen gave a soft "uh", the hangover soup fell into Pu Chen's mouth steadily, Wen Tao let out a light breath , and passed the rest of the hangover soup to Pu Chen.

After taking the last bite, Wen Tao was reluctant to let go of Pu Chen. His stubble was hard, but his lips were warm and soft, just like before.Wen Tao entangled with Pu Chen cautiously like an addict, as if he wanted to make up for the time that was lost this year.I don't know how long it took before a slight sound came from a distance. Wen Tao counted the time and looked from the window. The door was covered in incense, and it seemed that his guards were about to wake up. He quickly put Pu Chen down, and before leaving, After touching Taotao's furry head, he disappeared into the night.

109, 109.

When Pu Chen woke up, he felt that he had a very unusual dream.

He dreamed of Wen Tao.It's not surprising to dream of Wen Tao, ever since they said goodbye in Luoyang Palace that day, Wen Tao often appeared in his dreams, it was the last time he saw him in Luoyang Palace, with a slightly pointed chin, eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"Can't you see, Apu? I betrayed you, the Da Sima Mansion..."

"Apu, the kind of person I am has never changed from the beginning to the end. I used to do anything to get a foothold in the Da Sima Mansion, and now I will do anything to get rid of the Da Sima Mansion..."

And the sentence that made Pu Chen's heart ache the most.

"True or false, why be persistent."

True or false, why bother to be persistent.Because of this sentence, Pu Chen forced himself not to think about all the details since he and Wen Tao met for more than a year, because once he started to recall, he would unconsciously judge the true from the false, and unconsciously be Wen Tao's final The betrayal of Wen Tao is looking for a last resort reason, and he is still ridiculously unwilling to completely believe in Wen Tao's betrayal, looking for self-deceiving excuses.

The best way is not to think about it, as if it never happened, as if you never knew this person.

If strong alcohol can save him from the cranky thoughts that he can't spontaneously stop before falling asleep, drinking until he falls asleep, even if he wakes up the next day with a hangover, it is better than tossing and turning to recall and identify things that he can't. Clarify the past.

But last night, Pu Chen had a strange dream.The Wen Tao he dreamed of didn't look at him with a half-smile in Luoyang Palace, but was at his bedside, feeding him hangover soup like he did when he came back from drinking.His eyebrows and eyes are still so good-looking, and the hangover soup in his mouth is the same as before.He doesn't remember the dream after that, but his body is as light as a cloud, it seems that the snowy night in Youzhou is not so cold anymore, he seems to be back in April in Wuchang, when the breeze blows from the river, he hugged Wen Tao and kissed him He is full of pleasant grassy fragrance, like the smell of hangover soup.

Pu Chen woke up suddenly, two hours earlier than before. Before the hour, his limbs and stomach were not as uncomfortable as before. He glanced at the boots he took off, and couldn't remember when he fell asleep last night.It was rare to wake up today without a splitting headache. His five keen senses seemed to have returned. He took a closer look at the room, and everything was as usual. Only the civet cat tiptoed over, looked up at him, and gave a soft "meow".

Pu Chen picked up the civet cat, which was brought to him by his personal guards from Wuchang after he arrived in Youzhou, and said that it was ordered by Tang Yuqian.Pu Chen didn't want to keep it anymore, but when the civet cat was brought over, it was almost frozen to death. Pu Chen couldn't bear it, so he still kept it in his own room.He stroked the civet cat, its soft back was cold.

"Did you go outside?" Pu Chen said.

The civet cat barked again, as if agreeing.

"It's so cold to run out." Pu Chen snorted, moved his nose, as if smelling something, raised his eyebrows.

"Come on!" Pu Chen called out.

The guard who came in was the leader of his guard in Youzhou. Seeing that Pu Chen got up so early today, he was a little surprised, pushed the door open and said, "What orders does the General have?"

"Yesterday..." Pu Chen just raised his head, then suddenly stopped, waved his hands and said, "It's nothing, you can go out."

Pu Chen got up, went to the basin to wash his face, and reached out to touch his hard stubble.He glanced at the bronze mirror next to him, and saw that the lower half of his face was covered by blue stubble.

Not good looking.Pu Chen pouted.After coming to Youzhou, Pu Chen finally shaved his beard for the first time.

The snow fell for three days at once, and it didn't stop until the evening of the third day.

When Wen Tao woke up in the inn, he had been burning for more than a day.Since his left hand was injured, his physique has not fully recovered. Later, when Renzi changed, his mind was disturbed, and he was imprisoned in Sijian Pavilion for another year. Now he came to Youzhou suddenly, and sneaked into the Youzhou Army barracks twice that night. When I came back, I contracted typhoid fever, and after two days of drowsy sleep, the fever finally subsided.

Naturally, he came to Youzhou to find Pu Chen, and wanted to find an opportunity to explain the imperial examination fraud case to Pu Chen.The case has already been settled, he was not convicted, and the split of the Wuchang Army has also been settled. Since Qi Dai was willing to let him leave Sijian Pavilion, he let him go.As long as the case doesn't turn up again, and as long as Zhou Yu never knows about Xiang Hu and the secret way, Qi Dai will acquiesce in Wen Tao's going to find Pu Chen.But when he really arrived in Youzhou, even Wen Tao, who was unparalleled in his scheming, hesitated a little more timidly than his hometown.

All the confrontation with Pu Chen in Luoyang Palace a year ago was said by him himself. He just has such a talent. In his eyes, everything is one and two sides, so he can instantly turn black and white, and break all the trust of Pu Chen. To complete the deal between him and Qi Dai.However, this dose is a strong medicine after all, even he himself saw that Pu Chen's blood was unstable after he left with ashes, coughing up blood on the spot, not to mention being betrayed by his lover without warning, negating all kinds of Pu Chen's relationship between them Chen.

Wen Tao sighed, and thought about the state of seeing Pu Chen two days ago. He went to find him by himself in this state, and it was impossible to negotiate a good result. He would not even let him in if he was not in order. The method of infiltrating into the General's Mansion for the first time is barely usable. If one day Pu Chen is not drinking and is sane, he might have a chance to sit down and talk.After thinking about it, Wen Tao put on his night clothes, and this time he put on an extra coat. After walking a few steps, he went back to the kitchen of the inn, cooked a pot of hangover soup the same as last time, and went to the General's Mansion. go.

As usual, he stunned several guards on duty at night. When Wen Tao sneaked into Pu Chen's room on the second floor, Pu Chen had already fallen asleep, smelling of alcohol, and there were a few more jugs under the bed.The stubble on his face was shaved off today, and his face was almost the same as before. Wen Tao took a second look unconsciously, and finally remembered the business, took out the incense and shook it under Pu Chen's nose. Taking out the wine jug containing hangover soup from his bosom, he felt his right arm being grabbed hard and twisted behind his back, his left hand with broken meridians was lightly tapped, and the wine jug he was holding fell down in response, breaking into pieces. All over the place, hangover soup flowed out, and there was a scent of green grass...

"It really is you?" Pu Chen's voice came coldly, "What are you doing sneaking into my room? Did Qi Dai ask you to come?"

Wen Tao's hands were restrained by Pu Chen, and he was twisted behind him, unable to see Pu Chen's face.Judging from his voice, he was not drunk today, so he probably held his breath just now, and he was not intoxicated by the fragrance.He caught two words in Pu Chen's words: Sure enough.

"How did you guess it was me?" Wen Tao said.

Pu Chen paused, but did not answer.Wen Tao's left hand twisted unnaturally, Pu Chen subconsciously loosened his grip, but then thought of something, and instead tightened Wen Tao's grip.

Seeing that Pu Chen didn't answer, Wen Tao said, "I didn't come to harm you."

Pu Chen snorted coldly: "When I was drunk, you made me dizzy and said you didn't come to harm me?"

Just as Wen Tao was about to speak, Pu Chen said, "Stop talking, I don't want to hear it." In the darkness, Pu Chen took out the rope, tied Wen Tao's hands behind his back, and said ruthlessly, "If you speak again, I will block you." on your mouth."

Wen Tao knew that he was no match for Pu Chen in terms of force, so he had no choice but to let him tie his limbs.He didn't call the guard, but controlled Wen Tao himself, not knowing what he wanted to do.
