a hundred times

The night in the northwest was delayed, and it was not until Xu Shi that the sky gradually turned dark.Piles of bonfires were lit in the valley of exile, and the flute sounded leisurely, playing music with the guqin.

Zhou Chuze came out of Mrs. Luo's medicine pool for two hours. He was groggy, but he didn't want to sleep. He just sat in front of the window of the wooden house and watched the excitement outside.

Caiyun brewed fragrant tea, lit incense again, followed Zhou Chuze's gaze to look out of the window, and said with a clear smile, "I haven't been back for more than half a year, Zhuchen won't be able to escape tonight."

"You... miss him very much."

"Of course, he has been the treasure of Bangu since he was a child." Caiyun turned his head and went back to look around. Seeing no one, he whispered to Zhou Chuze, "When Zhuchen was just born, I blamed that scoundrel from the Demon Cult. Madam wouldn't even give him a hug! When he grew up and became more sensible, Madam still treated him lukewarm. Zhuchen was so pitiful at that time, but fortunately, everyone in the valley loved him except Madam. Besides, he went out to learn martial arts when he was seven years old, and he only comes back once a year, of course everyone loves him!"

Zhou Chuze was stunned. He was raised by people like pearls and treasures since he was a child. Before the age of 14, his father and uncle cared for him; after the age of 14, he only suffered for a few days. It is also extremely thoughtful, even for practicing, he chooses the lightest and most convenient way, explaining it repeatedly.

He never expected that Ye Zhuchen would have such an experience when he was a child. Zhou Chuze suddenly remembered what his master said casually when he taught him to practice kung fu: "Your senior brother is already outstanding, not because of his excellent talent, but because he can bear hardships. You are cruel enough to yourself... Chu Ze, you can't walk in his way."

……yes?

He also thought of meeting Ye Zhuchen for the first time more than four years ago, the son of the lord of the Banished Valley and the leader of the Demon Cult, the heir of Fulongfeng, with outstanding martial arts, the true son of heaven, but he calmly served him as his servant for half a year.

If it were Zhou Chuze, who was held in the palm of his hand since he was a child, he would not be able to achieve the kind of nobility that was carved in his bones since he was a child.

Zhou Chuze came back to his senses, and asked softly, "How is he?"

The people in Bangu celebrated in a very restrained way, almost as if they were attending a palace banquet. They sat in two rows, some played music, others danced. The figure added in his mouth, "For you."

"What are you talking about? Of course it's good!" Caiyun said confidently, "This person Zhuchen, if you treat him well, he will treat you well. We are all his relatives. Who is it good for?"

These words fell into Zhou Chuze's ears word by word, causing him to smile wryly, and slightly looked away, "Is that so, it's a pity that he is only my senior brother, not my relative."

His relatives had already died under his sword four years ago.

On the eaves, Ye Zhuchen, who had already jumped out of the bustle, eavesdropped on the two of them, with a playful look on his handsome face, invited the moon to drink a cup of wine, and drank it alone.

■

The next day, Ye Zhuchen rode out of the valley alone.

Juefeng was bitterly cold, and he could not go up until Zhou Chuze got better. Right now, life in the mountain was quiet, and Mrs. Luo told him to just stay at ease.

Banished Valley has nothing to do with the world, and it's not as deserted as Fulongfeng. Although Zhou Chuze is an outsider, he really lived in peace.Once he got used to the rhythm of the exile valley, his whole body seemed to settle down, his heart was peaceful, and his body also improved a lot.

Half a month later, Ye Zhuchen returned to the valley.This person usually has a clear mind about everything, but his face is nonchalant, and this time it is the same. After returning, he is also considerate to Zhou Chuze as usual. He doesn't say anything, just waiting for his junior brother to ask.

Zhou Chuze was also polite: "Where did you go? What happened outside?"

Ye Zhuchen said: "Walk around casually, outside, the world is in chaos."

Zhou Chuze looked straight at him with dark eyes.

Ye Zhuchen groaned, even he couldn't stand being watched by Zhou Chuze like this, and slightly raised his eyebrows and said: "Simply speaking, war between the two countries is inevitable, and they are all deploying troops. What Dacheng lacks most now is General, King Chen will lead the battle, and the court is now making decisions... I don't have much time, Chu Ze, we will go up the mountain tomorrow, and I will leave after you recover from illness."

"...What about after I recover?"

Ye Zhuchen sighed helplessly: "Bangu, Fulongfeng, you choose."

"front."

"impossible."

Zhou Chuze repeated: "I want to go to the front."

"Chu Ze, your injury this time has nothing to do with me. The plan to assassinate the emperor is mainly to spread love, but I have also mobilized some forces." Ye Zhuchen rarely showed a serious face, "You are Zhou Renfeng's only son. , I promised Master to protect you, so you only have the choice of Bangu and Fulongfeng, now whether it is Jianghu or Chaotang, it is too dangerous for you."

Zhou Chuze said coldly: "You also know that I am Zhou Renfeng's son. Is it what Master wants to see living like this? The century-old character of my Zhou family must not be broken on me like this!" His His face was extremely pale, he was young after all, his eyes turned slightly red when he said these words at the end.

Well, what a tough bone, but it happens to be such a beautiful person.As Ye Zhuchen thought about it, his heart moved, and he suddenly held Zhou Chuze's hand.

Zhou Chuze glared at him fiercely, and wanted to withdraw his hand, but found that he couldn't do it.

Ye Zhuchen smiled in a low voice, pulled his wrist slightly, and Zhou Chuze leaned forward involuntarily. In a blink of an eye, their foreheads were close to each other, and there was almost no distance between them.

"Chu Ze, have I ever said that you are a beauty? I am always very patient with beauties."

Zhou Chuze said coldly, "You said so."

He has said more than once that all the beauties in the world deserve to be treated tenderly.Of course Zhou Chuze will not forget, because what he hates the most is his appearance of pretending to be affectionate.

Ye Zhuchen smiled: "In this case, you still have one last choice."

The two looked at each other, and Zhou Chuze's heart sank slowly.

"Stay by my side, anyway, the place where I will be in the future will probably be the front line, how about it?" He said confidently and slowly, "Although the world is big, only the place I give you can be safe. "

Zhou Chuze remained calm, he knew that his fingertips were frozen.

Ye Zhuchen seemed to have made a good enough decision, raised his lips and smiled, put his chin on Zhou Chuze's shoulder, and hugged this person again after four years.
