High energy eunuch

Dongzi woke up twice later that night, also stood in the room, and listened quietly for a while, but found nothing.Dongzi thought that he might be suspicious. It snowed heavily outside, and the whole town was covered with snow, and thousands of families listened quietly to the sound of snow.

The next day was a sunny day, Dongzi went downstairs to fetch water for Fu Qiu, and when he reached the door, the copper basin in his hand fell to the ground.

The bed was empty, the windows were open, and even though the sun was shining, the wind was chilling to the bone.

Dongzi was completely stunned by the hot water splashed on his leg.It took a while to move, and looking down from the window, there was nothing.

Dongzi was like a wild beast that had lost its companion, scurrying blindly, even opening the closet to look for it.

"What are you looking for...the house is in such a mess..." Fu Qiu said in a sleepy voice, holding the waistband of his trousers that hadn't been fastened yet.

Dongzi rushed over, hugged him tightly, kicked the door, and pressed Fu Qiu against the door, his whole body trembling.Fu Qiu was kissed inexplicably, but gradually he was kissed to the point of reacting, and responded with a shy face.But Dongzi didn't do anything, just hugged him, and could feel that he was afraid.

Fu Qiu stroked his back, like comforting a big dog.

"What's the matter, this is... the water you fetched for breakfast? Why is the ground wet..." Fu Qiu muttered.

Dongzi went to fetch water again, and after eating too early, he asked Fu Qiu to go to the yard to wash his hair, and the faint fragrance of saponins wafted in the wind.This land does not grow plum blossoms, but a kind of sugar, and the air in the whole town is sweet.

After washing, a small bench was brought to Fu Qiu. Dongzi held the comb and said, "Sit here."

Fu Qiu said oh.

The evergreen trees were planted in the courtyard, which he had never seen before in the capital. The sun made him lazily close his eyes.

"Shall we go when we finish tidying up later?" Fu Qiu asked with his eyes closed, noticing that Dong Zi was brushing his hair while touching his face.

"Ah."

Dongzi had nothing to say, and looked up at the eaves vigilantly from time to time, but he didn't find anything.

When setting off, Dongzi stopped asking Fu Qiu to sit in the carriage, and told him to sit beside him, talking to him expressionlessly while driving the carriage.

"What did we eat yesterday?"

Fu Qiubai was bored to answer.

Dongzi asked about the day before yesterday.

Fu Qiu answered for four or five days in a row, feeling really bored, and wanted to go in and sleep.

Dongzi grabbed him and made him lean on himself, looked down at him, and said in a deep voice, "Just sleep here."

Fu Qiu hugged his waist, sat on the driving place and fell asleep.All the way to the town where I stayed in a drowsy place. This place is even more remote. There are two broken lanterns hanging on the door of the inn.As soon as he went in and said he was staying at the store, Xiao Er looked up at them vigilantly from behind the counter.

After registering and handing over Yinzi, Xiaoer warned them in a low voice: "Don't go out after Haishi."

When Fu Qiu entered the house, he lay on the window with a curious expression on his face, looking out, there was no light on the street, a small number of mud houses, and some broken tile-roofed houses.

Dong Zi covered his feet with hot water, and Dong Zi wiped his ankles. Fu Qiu asked, "Is there any problem here after Haishi? Why can't you go out?"

"Sleep." After drying his feet, Dongzi helped Fu Qiu onto the bed and let him sleep first.

But Fu Qiu was so excited that he couldn't fall asleep on the bed, he hugged the quilt and rolled around until it was time to get up, and Genggu woke Fu Qiu up from his dream.He pushed the window open and looked at it. The street still had a serious face, and nothing happened.

Dongzi was not there.

Go out to find someone or go back to bed and continue to sleep?After a fierce psychological struggle, Fu Qiu climbed into bed and lay down for a while, got up again, put two daggers in his boots, took a long sword, and went out.

The courtyard was silent, and the inn was very small. As soon as he got downstairs, a sack suddenly covered Fu Qiu's head. Fu Qiu drew his sword to chop, but his hands were in the air. He slipped down like a shrimp with soft feet, and was supported by a person .

"After waiting for so long, it's finally time to call it a day. Ladies and gentlemen, let's go back with me to deal with business."

Half an hour later, Dongzi dragged the epee back to the inn. When he went upstairs, a bloodstain on the sword was dragged on the ground, blending with the night, like thick ink.

Stepping on the wooden floor, approaching the house, the door was closed.

Dongzi squinted his eyes, and the light flickering from the half-broken lanterns under the porch, which was blown non-stop by the wind, made his side face look fierce.

He kicked open the door, the floorboards creaked with his footsteps, the room was silent in the darkness, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he approached the bed.

Fu Qiu was still there, but Dongzi suddenly lost his grip on the sword, and with a clang, the sword hit the floor.

He took off his outer robe, washed his hands, and then got into the bed, and put his hands across Fu Qiu's waist, encircling the person. At that moment, Fu Qiu was very stiff.

Dongzi said: "Are you awake?" He kissed Fu Qiu's ear, but Fu Qiu avoided it uncomfortably.

"What's wrong?" Dongzi tightened his arms and hugged him face to face.

"Where did you go just now?" Fu Qiu asked.

"Didn't go anywhere." Dongzi said indifferently, kissed Fu Qiu's cheek, and said in a deep voice, "Go to sleep. It's still early."

Dongzi closed his eyes exhaustedly, and after a while, he breathed slowly and evenly.

Fu Qiu looked at him in the dark with complex and unspeakable eyes, and felt a dagger under his pillow, he gritted his teeth, his eyes were red with tears.

Suddenly Fu Qiu pulled out the dagger, and sent it to Dongzi's heart.

Suddenly, Dongzi parried the dagger with his backhand, rolled to the ground, grabbed the sword beside the bed, squatted down and raised his eyes to stare at Fu Qiu.

"Ah!" Fu Qiu yelled violently, one leaped forward, holding a short sword in each hand, and pushed forward sideways.

Dongzi took two steps back and narrowed his eyes, "Who are you?"

Fu Qiu's eyes were red, "I'm going to kill you today, my majestic emperor, how can I commit myself to others?"

Dongzi's eyes were a little dazed, and then he stepped back fiercely, stepped on the cabinet with both feet, swung the epee, and swept away thousands of troops.

At that time, the tables and chairs in the house were overturned, and the movement alarmed the night watchman, who went upstairs to see it and wanted to yell.

Fu Qiu's expression changed, and he threw a flying sword sideways, the tip of the sword sank into the beam, and the blade buzzed.

"Go down."

Xiao Er hurriedly got out from under the sword, ran down the stairs like shit, shrank into the bed, wrapped himself into a rice dumpling and shook like a sieve.

The epee stuck to the dagger with the momentum of four or two strokes of a thousand catties, and along the blade, picked up the dagger in Fu Qiu's hand.Dongzi's robe was turned up, and he raised his foot, hitting Fuqiu.

The heart-warming kick made "Fu Qiu" hit the side of the bed so hard that he couldn't get up.He bent over and coughed fiercely, vomited a mouthful of blood, and wiped it away with his back.

The murderous intent of the sword approached his neck.

Fu Qiu closed his eyes and smiled, willing to die.

"Zi" sound.

"..."

"Where did you take Fu Qiu?" Dongzi grabbed the human skin mask expressionlessly, patted Xiong Mu's face with his sword, and said in a deep voice, "Don't play dumb. Who came with you? You Who is the person behind? Don't say it was your idea."

Just as Xiong Mu was about to say it, he swallowed it back.He smiled wryly and shook his head: "Brother Dongzi, you forgot what we were born for, Da Chu Jiangshan Sheji, how could you elope the emperor with you. This is a capital crime. I came here at my own request, you go away If you want to kill me, you can leave. Tell Ziyun that the private money is well kept in her dowry box." Xiong Mu coughed repeatedly.

Dongzi lifted his collar, brought Xiong Mu's bloody face close to him, and said expressionlessly, "Take me to him."

Xiong Mu closed his eyes and shook his head in pain. The two palms he had hit during the fight erupted, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. He tilted his head and passed out.

In the early morning of the next day, Xiong Mu woke up in a carriage. The sky light was faintly leaking in through the window curtains, and he was awake and confused for a while.I know that Dongzi is feeding him water and sometimes bread, but I don't know where they are going.

Still on the road at night, after Xiong Mu woke up, he realized that his wrists and ankles were tied with ropes.Dongzi was driving ahead, and the carriage was running very fast and bumped endlessly.

The carriage stopped in a small town, Dongzi turned around and sorted out the ginseng slices, and fed them to Xiong Mu.

"Brother Dongzi, it's useless if you tie me up. I'm the one who came looking for you. You should know that I'm just an abandoned son. Death is the arranged ending for me." In the night, Xiong Mu leaned against the Panting heavily in the car.He didn't know where he was, Dongzi glanced at him from behind the curtain, and left.

After an unknown amount of time, an old doctor was pushed into the carriage.

When the old doctor saw Xiong Mu, his hands and feet trembled with fright, and he was about to beg for mercy.

Dongzi took out an ingot of gold ingot and handed it to his apprentice, with the long sword resting on the apprentice's neck.

The old doctor met immediately, felt Xiong Mu's pulse with shaking hands, cleaned up the trauma, and prescribed a prescription for decoction.At that time, Xiong Mu had already been carried to the bed in the backyard of the hospital and fell asleep on the bed, his hands and feet were still tied. He slept for a while and was called up to drink medicine.

Dongzi ignored the medicinal soup that leaked from the corner of his mouth, Xiong Mu almost vomited out the bitter medicine, but he had to hold back.Dongzi sat silently at the door, leaning on his sword, with a full moon in the sky, and his back was chillingly cold.

"Brother Dongzi." Xiong Mu pursed his lips, almost crying.

Dongzi didn't move, he didn't know if he heard it or not.

"You just throw me outside and let me fend for myself." Xiong Mu felt ashamed in his heart. It was nothing worth losing his life, but he failed the loyalty between brothers. Thinking of his wife and children at home, his mood was very complicated.

"Shut up." Dongzi said coldly, patted his robe and got up.

"Don't go." Xiong Mu gritted his teeth, resting his hands on the bed, he gasped for breath, and when he moved, he felt that the wounds all over his body were in pain.

"The emperor is going back to sit in the mountains and rivers. The capital has already set up a network of heaven and earth, waiting to arrest you. Brother Xue is thinking about his old feelings and intends to spare your life. Why do you go back to die?" A voice came: "The first emperor left behind, brother Dongzi, you have been loyal in this life, but you will die in exchange."

Dongzi paused.

"Brother Xue is poisoned. If he can't hold your head to see the Eighth Prince, he will die. He risked his life and allowed you to run thousands of miles away from the capital before asking the emperor to return to the capital. He intends to let you go." In the last hand, he gambled on fate. He knew that I could not kill you, but it was not certain whether you could kill me. But you must know that you held me, and you thought it was my life and His Majesty's. , can it be the same thing?"

Dongzi turned back, moved a stool, and sat in front of Xiong Mu's bed, looking at his face, as if trying to judge whether what he said was true or not.After a while, Dongzi said indifferently: "Why did the Eighth Prince kill me? Why did the late emperor kill me?"

Xiong Muben gritted his teeth and didn't say anything. The two were silent for a long while, then he suddenly opened his eyes glistening with tears.

"All of us are just chess in the dark. You are the only one who is different from us." Xiong Mu said with difficulty, his chest hurting from breathing: "We are in secret, you are in the open, the Yuan family has been loyal for generations , The family background is prominent. Only you, the general and the prime minister, are the only ones. Once the major troubles are eliminated, you are the greatest threat to the country. The late emperor was suspicious by nature, and the dark guards complement each other, and each has a mission. He ordered you to kill the two kings, but Never regarded you as a confidant. The late emperor never trusted anyone, including the Eighth Prince."

"Since the division of the north and the south cannot be achieved, the identity of the Eighth Prince has disappeared from the world. He is a commoner in the vast sea of ​​people. He cannot show his face. His son has become the prince, but Xue Yuanshu will not allow the son of the Eighth Prince to sit on the throne. Your Majesty You are still young, and you want to abolish the crown prince and set up another one. As long as he forgets you and leaves you, sooner or later the concubine in the harem will give birth to an heir." Xiong Mu panted heavily, leaning his face on the bed, tears streaming down his face, "I was also forced to help, I His wife and children are all in the capital."

Dongzi sat blankly in a daze, got up after a while, and walked out the door.

He couldn't remember what the late emperor looked like.Loyalty is a knife engraved in the hearts of the Yuan family. Take its double edge and hurt others and yourself.The first emperor spared the lives of the whole family of the Yuan family, and the Yuan family swore allegiance to them from then on.

Dongzi sat in the yard, with the unique faint medicinal fragrance of the medical hall lingering in his nose, until it was almost dawn, a hazy blue light rose from the east, and then turned to snow, and then it suddenly turned red, burning the sky.

He hadn't closed his eyes for two days and one night, and something seemed to be burning in his throat.

As soon as he bent down, he spat out the blood that had stagnated for a long time. Dongzi felt a fishy sweetness in his throat, and wiped away the blood expressionlessly.The medical hall was about to open, and the boy brought the medicine cooked. Dongzi helped Xiong Mu, who was tied up so hard to move, to feed the medicine.

Xiong Mu was trembling, his eyes were red.

After he finished drinking the medicine, Dongzi tied the epee to his body, lowered his eyes and whispered: "Brother is recuperating here, I'm leaving."

In the morning sun, Dongzi was wearing an indigo military robe. The early morning breeze stirred the coarse cloth of his long sword, and the skylight pulled his shadow horizontally.

Xiong Mu silently leaned against the bed, muttering to himself: "Take care." He trembled violently, calmed down, and replied, "Take care, Brother Dongzi."

"Pei'er, come and see, this is the land of Great Chu." On that day, Yuan Guangping brought Yuan Xinpei into the palace for the first time, standing behind the white jade railing outside the main hall, the dragon's head was flying high on the pillar, thousands of miles away, Yuan Xinpei could not understand territory.

"Under the whole world, is it the king's land? These all belong to His Majesty. In the future, you must also be loyal to His Majesty. He is the savior of our Yuan family. This is not stupid loyalty, but kindness." Yuan Guangping led Yuan Xinpei He walked down the stairs slowly, and when the ministers greeted him, Yuan Guangping taught Yuan Xinpei to address them as a certain lord.

Yuan Xinpei was holding the Jade Buddha given by the Empress Dowager Song in his hand, and he couldn't help but think of the little fat ball who was dozing off on the Empress Dowager Song's lap.He sleeps really well and looks good, how can anyone in the world be so carefree.Probably because he has forgotten all the joys of his childhood.
