Meng Dong

Meng Dong had never been to the capital before, and he had very few chances to leave Jiangling City over the years.That's why he collected all kinds of local chronicles, from the books to appreciate the customs of various places in the eyes of others.

Therefore, it should be a very happy thing to have such a rare opportunity for him to go on a long trip, but there are too many worries in his heart, even if the flowers and picturesque scenery along the way fall into his eyes, All lost their original style.

Compared with Meng Dong, Yan Hong seemed much more at ease, as if there would never be anything to bother him, even though he knew in his heart that it would not be a good thing for the person in the capital to call him out of the blue, he still didn't see him. There is any worry, as if he really went out this time to take Meng Dong on a tour of the mountains and rivers.

Meng Dong simply didn't know whether it was because this person was optimistic by nature, or because he was too confident.

Over the years, Yan Hong had probably faced and dealt with a lot of things secretly, and the more he got to know Meng Dongyue, he was convinced that he was a powerful and extremely well-established person.But Meng Dong also knows that what Yan Hong will face this time is different from the previous ones.

All of this has something to do with him, but he can't predict what kind of impact it will have on Yan Hong in the end.He can only secretly hope that the jade pendant will really come true, and no matter what happens during this trip, it can save this person from danger.

In that case, Meng Dong's heart would be more comforted.

He used to pay everything for what he wanted, even himself.And I don't know when it started, but for the first time, he felt worried... He knew what he should do, and he was still persisting, but when all this finally came true, he wanted to keep Yan Hong.

He is still willing to pay any price for this matter, but Yan Hong's life is not included.

The sky is high and the earth is wide, from now on they will each go back to the life they should have, and they will never meet again, so he secretly hopes that at that time, Yan Hong can still be as unrestrained and unrestrained as before, as if he had never A man named Meng Dong appeared beside him full of scheming.

In this way, Meng Dong will not live in guilt towards this person for the rest of his life.

But Meng Dong also knows that there has never been a thing of both worlds in this world.Especially since he has never been a lucky person, let alone expecting too much.

Jiangling City is close to the canal, and the waterway is the most convenient, so going to the capital is mostly by waterway, and spends most of the time on the boat.Meng Dong has been on a boat before, but most of them are just cruise ships in the city. The experience of living on a boat like this has never been experienced before.

After all, Yan Hong is the status of the county king, the honor of the emperor's relatives, even if he doesn't intend to show off, but there are still many attendants who take care of their food and daily life, and protect their safety. There is only so much space on the boat, even if these people have done their best. He lowered his own presence as much as possible, but Meng Dong could always bump into a few when he was wandering around the boat.

In Meng Dong's view, these are not all.No matter how arrogant Yan Hong was, he would not think that this bodyguard alone would be able to deal with all situations. In places that Meng Dong couldn't reach, he would definitely have backup - at least Meng Dong hoped so.

The water transportation in Chu State is convenient, and the rivers are everywhere, and the boats on the canal will not encounter too much waves. They go down the river and go south all the way, but it doesn't take too much time.When the ship finally docked at the Jizhou Wharf and set foot on land again, what I saw was a different scene.

Jizhou is less than a hundred miles away from the capital. The customs and customs in the city are very similar to those in the capital. Compared with Jiangling City, they are quite different.

A group of people got off the boat, and there was a carriage waiting at the pier. Yan Hong stood in front of the carriage and glanced at Meng Dong: "We only stay in Jizhou for one night, and we will drive to the capital by carriage tomorrow morning. Do you want to walk around the city?"

Meng Dong looked around in a daze. Jizhou was a completely unfamiliar place to him. No one knew him here, and no one knew that the man next to him was the King of Nanjun. Ordinary two people don't have to worry about it.

Meng Dong bent his eyes and raised the corners of his lips: "Okay."

Yan Hong stretched out his hand towards him, held his fingers in the palm of his hand, and then turned his head and said to Qingming who was following him: "Take someone to find an inn to settle down first."

Qingming hesitated slightly: "My lord, the people in Jizhou Mansion said that they have already arranged a place for you."

"A place to live?" Yan Hong smiled, "Do you want me to live in their prefect's mansion? Since the people from Jizhou Mansion are here, let's ask them which is the best inn in the city. I didn't go there. The habit of living in the family's house."

Qingming responded: "Yes, my lord."

Yan Hong waved his hand towards Qingming: "You can arrange the rest on your own. I will go to the city first to wander around."

Saying that, she took Meng Dong's hand and was about to leave. Qing Ming couldn't help but said behind him: "My lord, don't you...don't you bring some guards with you? This is not Jiangling after all, and your safety should be the most important thing."

"This is not Jiangling, so who knows who I am?" Yan Hong said nonchalantly, "Your Mr. Meng is thin-skinned, he doesn't feel comfortable with people around him, and his discomfort just disturbs my interest."

Meng Dong: "..."

Qing Ming couldn't help but glanced at Meng Dong, and lowered her head in response: "Yes, my lord."

Yan Hong patiently and finally finished explaining the matter, and walked into the city with Meng Dong without looking back.

Mu Tianli

After all, they are all cities of Chu State. Although there are many differences, there are also many similarities. However, walking in the streets and alleys of Jizhou City is quite different from Jiangling City.

No one in this city knows the two of them, he is only Meng Dong, and the person next to him is only Yan Hong, there is no authority to do everything, no royal power and wealth to be coveted, let alone someone watching their whereabouts in the dark——Qiwu Pavilion He dared not extend his hand to the vicinity of the capital of Chu State.

Even the mood is much better.

Yan Hong turned his head and glanced at Meng Dong: "I've been feeling sluggish all this way, and I've gotten better until now. Is it because I'm uncomfortable on the boat?"

"It's always a bit boring on the boat. Although the journey is calm, I still feel a little dizzy, and I can't cheer up," Meng Dong said. "Now that I'm on the shore, I feel much better."

Yan Hong nodded: "Then we won't take the waterway on the return trip. Although the dry road will take longer, there is nothing to worry about when we go back. It can just slow down our pace and take you for a walk in a few more places. visit."

Meng Dong turned his head to look at him, and nodded after a long time: "Okay."

The two walked hand in hand for a while, and Yan Hong suddenly said, "Meng Dong?"

"Huh?" Meng Dong subconsciously replied, "Does the lord have something to say?"

"I don't know why, but I always feel that you are full of worries all the way." Yan Hong said softly, "Obviously you have been much more comfortable in those days in the palace, since you left Jiangling City, it seems that you have returned to the days when you first entered the palace. On the surface, everything seems to be normal, but in fact, I am on guard. It seems that I am not taking you out for fun, but taking you to some desperate situation."

The expression on Meng Dong's face froze for a moment, and then there were lines of laughter: "The prince is really worrying too much. I grew up in Jiangling City since I was a child, and I didn't have much chance to go out. This time, I suddenly want to go to the capital with the prince. After traveling on a boat for so long, I feel a little bit hopeless, plus I am not used to staying on a boat for a long time, so I can't lift my spirits, I didn't expect to make the prince worry."

Yan Hong stared at him intently, Meng Dong forced himself to look at him, and after a long time, Yan Hong smiled lightly: "You will get used to this kind of thing after a long time, anyway, the days will be long, I will take you out a few more times in the future." This time, you won’t feel flustered anymore. As for this time, you don’t need to worry, this king is your confidence, with me, everything will be safe.”

Meng Dong bent his lips: "Of course I believe in the prince."

"Otherwise, who else can you trust?" Yan Hong exerted a little force on his hands, tightly intertwined with Meng Dong's fingers, only then did Meng Dong realize that the two were holding hands all the way just now.Although Chu people are civilized, the appearance of the two big men is still eye-catching for no reason, but Yan Hong seems to be unaware of it and doesn't care.

Meng Dong thought, what else should he care about?

He lightly rubbed the back of Yan Hong's hand with his fingers a few times, causing the man to squeeze his hand even tighter.

The two wandered around the city of Jizhou for a long time, and by the way, they found a random restaurant on the street for dinner, and then they found the largest inn in the city, and met the people from the Wangfu.

Qingming has always handled affairs properly, not only persuaded the people from Jizhou Mansion to leave, but also took over the entire inn by the way. In such a big inn, except for a few mistresses, all the people who came in and out were people from the Nanjun Palace.As soon as Meng Dong and Yan Hong walked in, they saw Qing Xin sitting in the backyard drinking.

Every time he saw Qingxin, Meng Dong's mood was very complicated, especially on this journey, he couldn't figure out why Yan Hong brought this Taoist priest with him when he went to the capital, and now he looked at the wine jar in Qingxin's hand, and couldn't help it. Surprised, can outsiders really drink alcohol?

Seeing the two of them walking in, Qing Xin showed a very clear smile on her face: "My lord is really in a good mood. I am exhausted from the journey and still have the energy to go wandering in the city."

"I am naturally interested in being accompanied by a beautiful woman, and I don't have to sit here and drink alone like you, a stinky Taoist priest." Yan Hong put his wrist on Meng Dong's waist, and casually looked at the layout of the inn, "It seems that this Jizhou Mansion is not bad, there can still be such an inn. How about Qingming?"

Qing Xin casually pointed in the direction: "I seem to be ordering the dinner later. After all, the prince is not here, and all things are thrown on him, and he has already been devastated." He lifted the wine jar and took a big sip, "The prince The upper room has been prepared a long time ago, and there is a separate room on the top floor, so you don’t have to worry about anyone disturbing you at night.”

Yan Hong smiled when he heard the words, but he didn't speak. Meng Dong heard the deep meaning in his words, couldn't help frowning, and pulled Yan Hong to the upper room.

The environment of this inn is really good, even if it is placed in Jiangling City, it can be regarded as one of the best. Jizhou City is adjacent to the capital city, and it is indeed more prosperous and prosperous than other places.

Compared with Yan Hong, Meng Dong's body was a bit thinner. After all the journey was tiring, and he walked around the city for a long time, he was somewhat exhausted, and the energy that was seldom brought up during the day was sluggish again. After grooming, he leaned against the bed and fell asleep.

When Yan Hong came back from the shower, he couldn't help being a little funny when he saw him like this. Even if he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, this man still insisted on holding on and waiting for him to come back. Yan Hong's heart softened, and he stretched out his hand to gently touch Meng Dong. She leaned over and kissed him on the lips: "If you're sleepy like this, go to sleep first, why bother?"

Meng Dong couldn't open his eyes at all, he leaned on Yan Hong's arms and said in a daze, "My lord just said to let me wait for you."

Yan Hong helped him lie down, wrapped him in a quilt, and said with a smile: "I asked you to wait for me to come back, because I have something to do, but you are so sleepy, what else can you do?"

Although the two of them still shared the same bed along the way, the boat was not very convenient after all. In addition, Meng Dong was always sleepy, so the two of them had no chance to make out. It seems that there is still no chance.

Meng Dong had already fallen asleep, and didn't hear what Yan Hong was saying at all. He buried his face in Yan Hong's chest, his arms naturally wrapped around one of Yan Hong's arms, found the most comfortable position for himself, and fell into a deep sleep. past.

This is a habit he has developed during this period of time. The two of them will gradually find a way that best suits each other after being together for a long time.

Yan Hong lowered his eyes and looked at the person in his arms. Although Meng Dong had been trying his best to hide it, it seemed that nothing had happened, and nothing had happened, but it was like Yan Hong had pierced his disguise on the first day he entered the mansion. Now Meng Dong is still easy to see through in front of Yan Hong.

Yan Hong knows that Meng Dong is playing a big game of chess, which is related to whether he can succeed in what he has always wanted to do, and Yan Hong is also, but the direction of his moves is completely different from Meng Dong's.But he and Meng Dong are the same in that they don't know what direction the chessboard will turn after this move is made.

But Yan Hong knew that he had never lost to this person when playing chess.

He touched Meng Dong's face with some pity, and couldn't help leaning over to kiss his forehead lightly.He really likes this person in his arms. This is the first time he wants to keep a person by his side, but it is also the first time he is not sure about a person.

In fact, it's normal to think about it. After all, he only wanted those people before, but this time, he wanted someone's heart.

In life, there must always be a little unsatisfactory.

Yan Hong hugged the person in his arms tighter, and put down the bed curtain with his hands back to block the light from outside. Hearing the shallow breathing of the person in his arms, he also slowly fell asleep.

It takes a day to travel from Jizhou City to the capital city, and when the sky was slightly bright, everyone in the palace embarked on the journey, almost without stopping, and finally entered the capital city before sunset, which was more than half a day faster than the estimated journey, so Yan Hong Without disturbing anyone, he randomly chose an inn in the city to live in, planning to rest for a night before going to the palace to face the saint.

But at dinner, the inn still ushered in an unexpected guest.

Meng Dong casually stirred the porridge in front of him, and raised his eyes to look at this man, even though he was outside the palace, this man had changed into casual clothes, but he could tell his identity from the palace without waiting for him to speak.

This person's posture was also very strong, his eyes swept back and forth from everyone, and stayed on Yan Hong for a long time before he said lightly: "I don't know who is the king of Nanjun?"

All eyes were on this man, but Yan Hong was still drinking the soup in a leisurely manner, and even took the time to put a bowl in front of Meng Dong, and then slowly said, "What do you want to do with me?"

"At His Majesty's will, our family invites the King of Nanjun to enter the palace to face the saint." The eunuch glanced at Yan Hong again, bowed his head slightly to show respect, "Your Majesty, change your clothes and go with our family as soon as possible. It is not easy for His Majesty to wait for you." Bar?"

"After all, it is the capital city, and the news is well-informed. This king is still thinking that it is a little late today, and we will enter the palace tomorrow morning." He took the brocade handkerchief from Qingming and wiped it gently. Wiping his mouth, regardless of the eunuch's presence, he leaned over and kissed Meng Dong's lips, "I'm going to the palace to meet the saint, and I'll be back later. You can't go to bed early tonight. I was delayed last night. I'm going to have a nap today." and get it back."

Meng Dong lowered his eyes slightly, looking very docile: "Yes, my lord."

Yan Hong showed a very satisfied smile, and raised his chin towards the eunuch: "Since Your Majesty is waiting impatiently, let's go. I think His Majesty didn't ask me to change clothes when he called me, right? If things are delayed, the internal officials probably can't afford it, right?"

The eunuch choked, and then smiled: "Our family is thinking that the prince will make a good impression by changing his robes for the first time. It's just a kind reminder. If the prince doesn't want to change, our family naturally dare not force it." The chariots and horses are already waiting outside the door, if it is convenient for the prince, we can leave now."

Yan Hong walked up to him and looked up and down from him: "It seems that the internal officials have not been with the Holy Majesty for a long time. I was lucky to have visited the capital with my father when I was young, so today is considered the Holy Majesty. The reunion with my uncle and nephew is not the first time to face the saint. However, it is a trivial matter, harmless."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Qingming, then followed the eunuch out of the inn.Meng Dong stared at his back as he slowly disappeared, put down the soup bowl in his hand, and said calmly, "I'm going back to my room first."

There is also quite a distance from the inn to the imperial city, and it took an unknown amount of time for the carriage to stop before the gate of the imperial city.Yan Hong looked at the tall city gate, but found that he couldn't recall what it was like to enter the palace with his father last time, but with his father around, he always had no scruples.

But now he doesn't have any scruples, and he can even divide his mind to think that Meng Dong coughed a few times just now, should he let that smelly Taoist priest from Qingxin take his pulse again at night, but Meng Dong not only resists taking the medicine, but now he seems to be very resistant That smelly Taoist priest, although he didn't show it too clearly when he was present, Yan Hong didn't want to force him on such a trivial matter.

With the eunuch present, the road was very smooth. The guards in front of the gate of the imperial city put the carriage into the imperial city without even checking.Before Yan Hong could even recover, he had already arrived at the gate of the inner palace.He got down from the carriage, and towering palaces could be seen everywhere, which was completely different from Jiangling City. Yan Hong couldn't remember how he felt when he came last time, but at this moment, he only felt dull, boring, and deep. deep disgust.

He could almost predict what it would be like to enter the lofty emperor later.

That man has worked hard for many years to secure the throne, but anyone with a little brain knows how he is afraid of the Nanjun King's lineage, but he still pretends to be connected by blood and affectionately.

He ascended to the throne by stepping on the corpses of countless people. He should know better than anyone that such a thing as kinship has never existed in the royal family.

But since he wanted to do this play, Yan Hong was happy to cooperate with him.Anyway, over the years, he has done more than this one play.

Yan Hong raised his lips and followed the eunuch into the inner hall.

Candles were burning in the hall, but it was still a bit dark. It was only later that Yan Hong discovered that it was because the place was so quiet that he didn't even see a single palace official. Only Guangxi Emperor Yan Tai sat alone at the court case. In front of him, he was bowing his head to review the memorial.Hearing the sound of footsteps, he slowly raised his head, his eyes paused on Yan Hong's face for a while, and he showed a very kind smile: "This is Hong'er, I haven't seen him for many years, I don't dare to recognize him, hurry up, Come to me."

Yan Hong hid the sneer in his heart very well, he took a few steps forward, stopped in front of the imperial case, tilted his head and looked at Emperor Guangxi.The eunuch behind him couldn't help but whispered: "King of Nanjun, you should salute when you see His Majesty."

Only then did Yan Hong suddenly realize that he knelt down on the ground, and said, "My minister sees Your Majesty."

Yan Tai glared at the eunuch: "Today is our uncle and nephew meeting, why bother to bring out those vulgar rituals to make the relationship between our uncle and nephew unreliable. Why don't you help Hong'er get up?"

The eunuch immediately stepped forward, helped Yan Hong up, and moved a soft chair for Yan Hong under Yan Tai's signal. Yan Hong was not polite, and sat down directly, still looking at Yan Tai without restraint.

Yan Tai and his father are brothers of the same father after all, there are some similarities between their eyebrows and eyes, but they are completely different in bearing.His father was born in the army, practiced martial arts all the year round, his body was tough and strong, and he had a bloody killing intent, Yan Hong thought, if his father was still alive now, he would probably still be the same as he was back then.

But Yan Tai is different. I don't know if it's because he has spent too much time in these years. Yan Tai, who has not yet reached the age of destiny, is already showing old age, gray hair can be seen faintly on his temples, and his eyes are full of fatigue.

This may be the price he paid for insisting on the throne.

Yan Hong's appearance was already very disrespectful, the eunuch was already very displeased behind him, and he was about to step forward to remind him, but Yan Tai waved his hand at him, motioning him to back down, only the two uncles and nephews were left in the palace. people.

The author has something to say:

This chapter can be regarded as an excessive chapter, the plot is still in progress.

Well, let me tell you, it's not that Meng Dong's palace is not deep and his acting skills are not good, it's that Yan Hong is too deep in the palace.Just like Meng Dong has never beaten him in chess, the prince is extraordinary.Thanks to the little angels who voted for me or irrigated the nutrient solution~
