a hundred times

When a man gets married, everything is kept simple.

The styles of their wedding dresses are the same, with only a slight change in the direction of the dragon pattern.Ye Zhuchen has a handsome appearance, much more delicate and delicate than ordinary women, and the red dress is even more glamorous, but he is not feminine at all; Clothes, don't have a beautiful posture.

Standing together, anyone who sees them will feel that they are a good match.

Since she was not a woman, she naturally didn't need something like a red cap. Before worshiping, Ye Zhuchen took Zhou Chuze's hand and walked up to Zhou Suiyun.

"This is uncle."

He smiled again, and pointed to the person next to Zhou Suiyun, "This is the surprise I told you, Master."

Even with a certain amount of mental preparation, Zhou Chuze still stayed on the spot, not knowing what to do when facing two people who "should" be very important to him.

Due to his personality, Zhou Chuze is not suitable for socializing, but he seems to be handy in the etiquette of keeping a distance from others.He first looked at Zhou Suiyun, remembering that Ye Zhuchen said that his uncle objected to them being together, then quickly lowered his eyes, and said softly, "Uncle."

Zhou Suiyun's mood is also complicated.

In the past six years, he has only seen Zhou Chuze twice, and the last time they broke up unhappy, but this time, his nephew, whom he cared for since childhood, was about to get married.

He was a little sad, and Zhou Chuze felt sad, and looked at the white-haired and black-clothed Xiao Wangsheng, forced a smile to suppress the disappointment in his heart, and respectfully said: "Master."

Xiao Wangsheng nodded, glanced at Ye Zhuchen lightly, and said to Zhou Chuze: "I will let your senior brother take care of you from now on."

Zhou Chuze replied obediently, "I know."

Ye Zhuchen raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I wish I would not disgrace my life."

Xuanqing stood aside, shaking Zhou Suiyun's arm.Zhou Suiyun came back to his senses, realized that his behavior just now might appear indifferent, and walked half a step closer to Zhou Chuze, and said in a low voice, "Uncle only hopes that you can live well."

Zhou Chuze's slender eyelashes fluttered, his eyes were black and white, and he hummed.

For a while, Zhou Suiyun had countless things he wanted to say stuck in his throat, lowered his head and smiled wryly, and said to Ye Zhuchen: "Take care of Chu Ze, definitely."

Ye Zhuchen smiled knowingly, "Definitely."

Immediately afterwards, Xi Niang ran over to urge the two newcomers to catch up with the auspicious day and prepare for worship.Everything in this wedding was simple, only the process of worshiping the hall, Ye Zhuchen repeatedly asked for formality.Under the repeated persuasion of the housekeeper, Zhou Suiyun sat in the high hall with Father Ye alone.

At the moment of Xu Shi, the twilight quietly began to merge.

Burning candles and burning incense, the sound of gongs and drums.

Xi Niang's voice was festive and sweet, and she stood next to Father Ye, announcing that the auspicious time had arrived and that the new couple came to pay their respects.There were no more than a dozen people watching the ceremony, including maids and servants, none of whom Zhou Chuze didn't know, so he was not nervous, and he and Ye Zhuchen performed this perhaps the most important ceremony in life.

The two pulled the red satin, looked at each other, and walked into the wedding hall together.

Although the ceremony was grand, it was nothing more than one worship to heaven and earth, second worship to the high hall, and husband and wife to worship each other.After the three worships, Xi Niang did not sing the last line "Send to the bridal chamber" according to Ye Zhuchen's instructions, but only smiled and said, "The two are now husband and wife, and the world has learned from each other. The ancestors promised that we will be together forever and have a good relationship for a hundred years." combine."

Zhou Chuze listened carefully to Xi Niang's words, and when he said "A hundred years together", his eyes were suddenly covered by something. It turned out that Ye Zhuchen bullied him face-to-face. He felt something warm on his left eyelid.

A gentle kiss.

Father Ye smiled, and said to Zhou Suiyun, who frowned slightly, "We have different marriage rules."

After the kiss, Ye Zhuchen hugged Zhou Chuze loosely, put this person within his range, put his ears to his ears, and said word by word: "Chu Ze, I will take care of you."

This is not only his promise to Master and Zhou Suiyun, but also his promise to his partner.

Zhou Chuze's heart seemed to be soaked in hot water, there was no place where it was not warm or uncomfortable.He smiled slightly, clasped fingers with Ye Zhuchen, and responded to the other party's promise: "Okay."

We will be united forever and have a good union for a hundred years.

The end of the world is at this time.

rose city.

The waning moon is like a hook.

On the city wall, a dozing soldier was woken up by his comrades, "Dude, it's time for a change of shift, go back to sleep, so you won't be afraid of being discovered by the lieutenant general..."

The soldier yawned and said with a smile, "What are you afraid of? The foreign race has been gone for a month, so what could have happened!" He opened his sleepy eyes again, "Hey, why haven't I seen you."

"He was just transferred here." The succeeding soldier smiled, "Go back to sleep, I'll be on guard in the second half of the night."

"Okay!" The soldiers looked around, and it was indeed time to change shifts, and people gradually retreated to the city wall.He was so sleepy that he couldn't stand up straight, and he wobbled away with a knife in his hand.

Behind him, the soldier who took over gave a cold smile, his eyes sparkling.

The situation is dark.

Half an hour later, shaking torches appeared on the city wall of Guicheng, and half a quarter of an hour later, the four beacon towers on the city wall were lit.

The general guarding the city was awakened by the guards in his sleep, "My lord! There are so many soldiers and horses of foreign races! It's too fast! They have already entered the city! Our people have suffered heavy casualties! Three city gates have been lost!"

The general was so frightened that he woke up quickly, broke out in a cold sweat, and could hardly think.

"Where is the military division! Master Nangong... Where is Master Nangong?"

"They received a letter during the day, and set off for Dongliang in the afternoon! Nangong Xiao and Nangong Xiao have already left!"

The general tremblingly put on his armor, and gave the last order: "Send someone to send a message to Prince Qi! Tell him to come back quickly! Hurry up!"

The war came suddenly, and everything that happened outside was so unprepared and desperate.The clatter of horseshoes sounded, the sound of crossing arms, the cries of old and young women and children, and even the sound of rough smashing mixed together, pushing the whole city of Rose into a hell beyond redemption.

Only the bright moon in the border town is still bright.

■

The next day.

Zhou Chuze slept until the sun was high, and when he woke up, he realized that he had missed the hour and hadn't had time to serve tea to Ye Zhuchen's father and uncle.

His whole body was sore, and as soon as he made any movement, he heard someone knocking on the door, and Xia He's gentle voice sounded: "Master, are you going to wake up?"

After all, Zhou Chuze was a man, and it was really embarrassing to be called "Ma'am" by a servant girl, so Ye Zhuchen simply ordered him to be called Zhou Chuze whatever he wanted.

"and many more--"

Zhou Chuze hastily wrapped Ye Zhuchen's long gown around his body, barely covering up some traces of the consummation of the house yesterday, before he said in a low voice: "Xia He, bring a basin of hot water in."

Xia He who was outside gave a chuckle, and pushed the door in. He saw that he had already prepared a large basin of hot water, Youzi was steaming, and there were two handkerchiefs on his shoulders, "Young master went out early in the morning. Instructed us carefully twice to change the hot water every quarter of an hour, just waiting for you to wake up."

Zhou Chuze was so ashamed that he didn't dare to go to see Xia He, so he took the handkerchief and began to wash.Ye Zhuchen took him to take a bath in the middle of the night last night, and he was clean.Soon, I couldn't help but ask again: "Father and uncle..."

Xia He groaned, as if he suddenly remembered something: "Guicheng was attacked last night...Master Zhou left early this morning...Young Master seems to be going out because of this...Oh, serving tea or something, we foreign race I don’t pay much attention to this, the master knows that you are tired, so he just sent a message to let you have a good rest, and now you have gone fishing.”

Knowing that his uncle had left early, Zhou Chuze couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but now he is not most concerned about this: "Guicheng has been attacked? What's going on? Haven't the troops been withdrawn?"

"Slave, I don't know either... It seems that a tunnel was built, and it went directly to Luozhu Mountain... and then captured the city..."

"Tunnel?!... Captured?"

Xia He nodded, "But fighting is still too dangerous. Fortunately, the young master left early. Otherwise, once the city of Guizhou is destroyed, I don't know how much suffering I will suffer in the future."

Zhou Chuze looked serious.

Once the city of Gui was broken, I don't know how much I suffered. Apart from the soldiers, there were also thousands of people.Even if the idea of ​​a tunnel opening up the Falling Axis Mountains is just a rough idea, Zhou Chuze has to admire the ingenuity and boldness of the designer.Luozhou Mountain is the most steep in the world. For thousands of years, Guicheng has occupied the only passage in and out of Luozhou Mountain, so the city defense is stable.

The most difficult part of this strategy is to think what others dare not think, to act what others dare not do.

Opening a tunnel in Luozhou Mountain in Tianzhu sounds whimsical at first glance, but in fact, with the strength of the army and skilled craftsmen, it took nearly a month and it was not difficult.And pretending to withdraw troops for one month, just waited until the time when the guards of Guicheng were slack, and used the tunnel to go around the back gate of Guicheng to attack at night, and was caught off guard. important town.

Smart, but also vicious tricks.

Zhou Chuze seemed to see the Rose City that suddenly turned into a hell on earth in the middle of the night, and he couldn't help but look solemn.

"When will Zhuchen come back?"

Knowing that he is a Han Chinese, Xia He felt uncomfortable, so she just followed his words softly and said: "It should be soon, the young master has ordered me to come back and wait for you to have dinner together."

Sure enough, after Zhou Chuze finished dressing and drank half a bowl of white fungus porridge brought by Xia He, Ye Zhuchen had rushed back from the outside.

Zhou Chuze wanted to ask him a lot of things, where did his uncle go, how was Guicheng, but he didn't want Ye Zhuchen to come back, so he stuffed a gift with a smile, temporarily blocking Zhou Chuze's words.

He stared blankly at the living creature in his arms. The snow-white little tiger stretched out its soft fur. It looked at Zhou Chuze with its big amber eyes, and raised its paw to scratch it. It was flexible, cute, and full of fun.

"My family has a tiger on the mountain. It was just born this morning. I want to bring one back to relieve your boredom."

Zhou Chuze blinked, "What's your name?"

Ye Zhuchen smiled: "Little idiot, since I use it to please you, you can call it whatever you like."

Zhou Chuze thought for a while, only to feel that the little creature in his arms was a white ball, and then glanced at the bright sunlight outside, looking at Ye Zhuchen expectantly: "Snowball?"

Ye Zhuchen hummed, and said with a smile, "Okay, let's call it Xueqiu."

Under his gentle and pampering gaze, Zhou Chuze lowered his eyes a little embarrassedly, and gently stroked Xueqiu's hair with his fingers.Ye Zhuchen hugged him from behind, resting his chin on Zhou Chuze's shoulder, forming an intimate gesture.

"Chu Ze."

His voice was low and deep, and anyone would have heard it with relief.

"Huh?" Zhou Chuze unconsciously smiled.

"I'm going to Rose City."

Zhou Chuze's smile froze, "When?" Dongliang is not close to the city of Gui, even if he travels day and night, it will take at least three days.

He understood that Ye Zhuchen's departure must have something to do with the war situation.

"Let's go tonight." Ye Zhuchen tightened his arms, "Wait here for me, don't worry me, okay?"

"I asked, when will you be back?"

"Within half a month."

Zhou Chuze remained motionless, and his heart, which was overflowing with joy just now, sank to the bottom of the valley.He said slowly and lightly, "Zhuchen, you said you would take care of me, you can't abandon me."

"Chu Ze." Ye Zhuchen frowned, "I won't."

Zhou Chuze turned around, looked seriously into his eyes, and said for a long time, "Okay, half a month later, I'll wait for you to come back."
