Meng Dong

Yan Hong didn't know how long he had slept. He only remembered that when he closed his eyes, it was still dark, and when he opened them again, the sky outside the window was still dark.Yan Hong leaned on the bedside and sat for a while before he came to his senses. It was probably already evening.With this sleep, I fell asleep the whole day.

And a whole day is enough for many things to happen.

Yan Hong is still used to staying in the attic, even though he has always felt that it is too cold, lying on that empty bed, he can't help but think wildly and have trouble falling asleep.But for now, only here can he find any traces of Meng Dong's existence.Even though a period of time has passed, the attic still maintains its previous appearance, probably because Yan Hong believes in his heart that that person will eventually come back.

Perhaps it was because Yan Hong had exhausted too much energy from the fight the night before. When he returned to the palace, he was already exhausted, but he didn't struggle for too long like before, and fell asleep drowsily.But even though he slept deeply this time, he was entangled in various dreams all night, so that even though he was fully awake now, he still felt a little lost.

Fortunately, there have been several generals in the army for so many years. After the war, all that is left is to clean up the mess. Even if Yan Hong is not around, there will be no troubles.Yan Hong was able to have such a short time to sit here in a daze after waking up.

Such a big change happened in Jiangling that night, and according to Yan Hong's estimation, the other side of the river will not be peaceful either.Meng Dong had finally waited for the opportunity for the two armies to start a war, and naturally he would not let it go.It's just that after that... He has painstakingly arranged for so many years, did he predict an ending for himself?

It is not easy to send one's own people into the Qiwu Hall, and Yan Hong also knows in his heart that there may not be much use for only one person.More importantly, Meng Dong is willing to let him go.

Yan Hong took a deep breath, but he didn't dare to think about it any further.

He pulled himself out of his thoughts, finally got off the bed, washed his face with the water in the room, and felt the lost strength and spirit return to him bit by bit.

He didn't move much, but he still disturbed Qingming who had been guarding outside the door. Qingming opened the door and came in. He hurriedly took a cloth towel and went over to help Yan Hong wipe his face and wait for him to change his clothes.

Yan Hong put on a brand-new white gown with long body and small sleeves, and his long ink-like hair was tied up, and he regained his former radiance.He lowered his head and casually put on his belt, and asked Qingming, "What happened while I was sleeping? Is there any news from the army?"

Qingming straightened the hem of his clothes for him, and replied: "I probably want the prince to have a good rest, and there is no news sent here. But the villain knows that the prince will ask when he wakes up, so he inquired a little bit, and heard that the Southwest The king has already captured Ningjiang City, and now he has led his army back to Jiangling City to rest, and the real master may be in the army now."

Yan Hong raised his eyes and was slightly stunned, then a smile appeared on his face: "It seems that today the king of Ben is finally going to meet the king of Southwest whom he has been friends with for a long time."

While Qing Ming was speaking, she had brought tea for Yan Hong, and while serving Yan Hong to rinse his mouth, he said, "My little man, I heard that the Southwest King has a very strange temper, and he doesn't seem to be easy to get along with."

"Can it be blamed by me in the rumors?" Yan Hong rinsed his mouth, already looking refreshed, "Although the lineage of the Southwest King does not have many connections with the court, they are all surnamed Yan after all. Yes, they are also distant relatives, not to mention, we both have the same purpose. I am really looking forward to meeting later."

Qingming glanced at Yan Hong with some hesitation, and finally said slowly: "My lord, you may not have paid much attention to it, but when the villain is free, let's do the math. If you really talk about relatives with the Southwest King... the Southwest King should It is your uncle, my lord."

Yan Hong was lowering his head and fiddling with the jade pendant on his chest, when he heard the words, he immediately raised his head: "Isn't the King of Southwest the same age as me? His birth date is only two months older than mine."

"My lord, although it is only two months old, the grandfather of the Southwest King is your great-grandfather's younger brother, so the Southwest King is indeed a generation older than you."

Yan Hong stuffed the jade pendant in his hand into his collar, and said calmly: "Since we haven't contacted each other for so many years, there is no need to calculate these stinky and long relatives, after all, what I cooperated with the Southwest King is not blood. "

Qingming raised her head to look at her prince's face, then lowered her head and said: "What the prince said is absolutely true."

Yan Hong finally turned his head and looked around the entire attic before withdrawing his gaze: "there are still many things to be busy in the army these days, and this king probably won't be back. Remember to visit mother for me every day. In addition, this attic is closed as usual. Clean it daily, but don't touch anything."

During this period of time, Yan Hong would leave such instructions almost every time he left, and Qingming was very used to it, so he nodded: "My lord, you have slept all day, do you want to eat something first?"

Yan Hong had already reached the door, and shook his head when he heard the words: "Since the King of the Southwest is in the army at the moment, it happens to be dinner together, so it's time to welcome him."

Although the battle yesterday caused considerable losses to Jiangling, after all, it was a very beautiful battle with fewer victories, completely destroying Beiliang's attempt against Jiangling. Under the leadership of the king of Nanjun, who was famous in Jiangling for his dissolute playboy, he won the battle. The whole army also saw his bravery on the battlefield, just like the king of Nanjun was alive.

This not only made people look at Yan Hong with admiration, but also made those veterans who were loyal to the king of Xiannan feel very relieved.Therefore, the atmosphere of the entire army was quite relaxed, and Yan Hong was infected by this emotion unconsciously all the way into the camp.

A brazier was burning in the main tent, dispelling the autumn chill and making the entire tent extraordinarily bright.When Yan Hong entered the tent, he saw a strange face sitting next to Qi Zhao in the middle.And the other generals in the army were all sitting in the tent, talking and laughing without knowing what they were talking about.

The appearance of Yan Hong caused a brief silence in the originally noisy camp. All the generals in Jiangling stood up one after another and saluted Yan Hong. Raising his hand: "This should be the King of Southwest?"

Southwest Wang Yancheng and Yan Hong are about the same age. Although the two are related by blood, after all, they have been separated for several generations, and there is almost no similarity in appearance.Compared with Yan Hong's elegant and handsome, Yan Sheng's facial features are more refined, and his skin is fair, so people can't help but marvel at his beauty when they meet for the first time.

But it is not the same type of surprise as Meng Dong, Yan Cheng's eyes will not always be full of smiles, but when he looks at you, you will only feel a chill slowly rising up your spine.

Even if Yan Hong is really a dandy who prefers beauty, he would not dare to think of such a person.

Yan Cheng's eyes stayed on Yan Hong's face for a long time, until the atmosphere in the big tent was almost stagnant, he raised his lips slightly, and said lazily: "It seems that the king of Nanjun is resting well, he is refreshed , was not affected by last night's battle at all. Fortunately, this king knew something about the Nanjun king's ability in advance, otherwise, if he listened to the rumors, he might not have won last night."

Yan Cheng was still sitting on the chair, without any intention of getting up, and even the generals in the tent turned their eyes to him, somewhat dissatisfied, but I don't know if it was because of his respected status, or because of his aura, No one dared to speak.On the contrary, Qi Zhao, who was closest to him, couldn't bear the gaze on him, so he stretched out his hand and gently tugged at Yan Sheng's sleeve.

Yan Cheng turned his head and glanced at him, held his hand without hesitation, and then said to Yan Hong: "Accordingly, you and I are in a cooperative relationship. When we meet for the first time, I should more or less get up and greet each other with you. But, It just so happened that I looked through the genealogy in my spare time, and suddenly found that when it comes to seniority, the king of Nanjun should call me uncle. In this case, I can be regarded as an elder to some extent, and it should be understandable for me to come to the king of Nanjun."

Originally, Yan Hong didn't care about these vain rituals, and he just exchanged casual greetings just now, but at this moment...he lowered his eyes and paused, then raised his eyes with a smile on his face: "Even if the Southwest is located in a remote place, if you want to come here, you can rely on the king of Southwest." You should also be well-informed. Naturally, I should be clear that I hate these messy etiquettes the most. Besides, people of our background know best that things like blood are never counted. It often kills you The one you are with is your blood relative. Therefore, when you and I join forces, we should focus on our common interests, shouldn't we?"

Yan Cheng squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Yan Hong for a while, with a smile on his lips: "Naturally. If it wasn't for the common interests, how could this king come all the way from the southwest, and even drenched in the rain all night?" , almost a recurrence of the cold."

"But the result is always good, isn't it?" After all, it was his own tent, and Yan Hong was not polite, and sat down on his own. Finally, the generals who had been standing beside him were able to take their seats, and the atmosphere in the big tent gradually returned. It's easy.

Yan Hong raised his eyes and inadvertently noticed that Yan Sheng's hand was still covering Qi Zhao's, and while talking to himself, he also rubbed the back of Qi Zhao's hand with his fingertips.This Yan Cheng's face was extremely calm, and he didn't feel that his small actions were inappropriate at all, but Qi Zhao beside him was far less calm than him. In just a short while, his entire face was completely red, which was as good as it seemed. The cold-faced general in the rainy night was a completely different person.

Looking at the two, Yan Hong felt a little funny in his heart, but couldn't help feeling a bit of envy that couldn't be put on the table.

It can be said that he wanted the wind and the rain since he was a child, but it was the first time that he envied others so much for such a small thing, it was really pitiful.

After all, both the Jiangling Army and the Southwest Army have just experienced a big battle, and they need to rest for a while, so they are not in a hurry to discuss the next battle.In addition, although Yan Hong seemed to be in high spirits, he was somewhat tired in his heart. After a brief chat with Yan Sheng, he simply asked someone to bring in the prepared meals. Yan Sheng took the wind.

But to say it's a catch-up, in a place like the military camp where there are big men, it's nothing more than eating and drinking.Yan Hong specially asked someone to send dozens of altars of fine wine from the palace. The whole battalion, except those who needed to be on guard, could drink some of it properly. It was also a reward after victory.

Yan Hong has a very good capacity for alcohol, and he didn't feel much after drinking most of the jar of wine. To his surprise, although the King of Southwest did not allow Qi Zhao to drink, he himself was a good alcohol capacity. He was quite heroic when drinking, but he was on par with Yan Hong.

Yu Xi reads well

On the other hand, the young general who won the three armies bravely was eating his meal intently at the moment, with only an empty wine cup in front of him, and he really hadn't even touched a drop of wine.

Yan Hong was very interested in the contrast between the two people's personalities and their seemingly discordant but actually very harmonious way of getting along. While drinking, he glanced at them a few more times.He thought his movements were very natural, but he still disturbed the two people who were enjoying themselves.Yan Cheng swallowed the meat that Qi Zhao fed to his lips just now, and looked up at Yan Hong: "It seems that the king of Nanjun is very boring drinking alone, so why not, how about I accompany you?"

The corners of Yan Hong's lips raised, and he glanced at Qi Zhao: "Since I'm serving the Southwest King, I should accompany you." He stood up, dropped the wine cup in his hand, and raised his hand towards Yan Cheng. The wine jar in his hand, before he could speak, the tent door was suddenly thrown open, Qingxin walked in quickly, and raised his hand towards Yan Hong.

Yan Hong's eyes fell on his face, and then slowly looked down, seeing the blood on Qing Xin's chest, his pupils shrank violently, and the smile on his face disappeared: "Where is the man?"

"In the military medical account, my lord..."

Qingxin hadn't finished speaking, only the sound of the wine jar falling to the ground, Yan Hong rushed out of the tent like a gust of wind, leaving behind the people in the tent full of faces looking at each other, Yan Cheng, who was listening to Qi Zhao's words, curled his lips slightly A clear smile.

The night has gradually deepened, because it had rained the day before, and the sky cleared up during the day, and now when I raised my head, I could still see the stars all over the sky.But Yan Hong didn't have any mood to appreciate it. He felt that something was choked in his chest, which made him feel uncomfortable even to breathe.But he didn't dare to pursue what it was, because he knew that his whole body had been swept by panic.

He had to see and feel it with his own eyes before he could feel relieved, so before he saw the real person, he didn't dare to indulge any of his thoughts, but rushed into the military doctor's camp with all his heart.

A brazier was burning in the camp, and Yan Hong felt the warmth rushing to his face as soon as he entered, driving away the chill brought by him from outside bit by bit.

The military doctor was kneeling in front of the bed and busy. Yan Hong stared at his back and stopped suddenly.From his perspective, he still couldn't see the current situation of the person on the bed clearly, but suddenly he didn't dare to take another step forward.

A man in black was also guarding the side of the bed. When he heard the sound of footsteps, he turned around vigilantly. Seeing that it was Yan Hong who was slightly relieved, he fell to his knees again the next moment: "This subordinate is incompetent and failed to protect the young master. Please, my lord." punishment."

"Go down." Yan Hong opened his mouth, only to realize that his voice had gone hoarse. He didn't distract himself from looking at the man in black, but waved his hands a little tiredly, and said softly, "Go down."

The man in black didn't dare to say any more, he just glanced at the bed with some worry, gave a salute to Yan Hong, turned around and retreated.

The tent became extremely quiet, and even the sound of clothes being rubbed became extremely clear.Yan Hong was only a few steps away from the bed, even if he poked his head over, he could clearly see the person on the bed.But he seemed to be nailed to the ground, staying in place motionless.

It wasn't until a painful groan came from the bed that Yan Hong suddenly reacted as if he had woken up. He came to the bed in a few steps, and finally saw the person's current situation completely.

Yan Hong had never seen Meng Dong in such a state of embarrassment. His robe was completely soaked in blood and mud, making it impossible to see the true colors of the cloth.

More importantly, there was an obvious wound on his chest, and blood was still gushing out of it at this moment, and what the military doctor was doing now was trying to stop the bleeding from the wound, even though he had already relaxed his movements as much as possible, But such a large wound inevitably alarmed the already unconscious person.

Yan Hong stared blankly at the wound. For the first time, he realized that there was so much blood on a person.The red color caused him a huge shock, so that he couldn't see anything else for a while.

"Yan Hong..." A weak voice came from the bed, Meng Dong opened his eyelids with great difficulty, and smiled at Yan Hong, which can be regarded as painful, "It seems that we are still destined, otherwise how could it be so See you soon."

Yan Hong felt that his eyes were sore and swollen, as if something warm could not help rushing out of them, he blinked vigorously, exhaled deeply, turned from the end of the bed to the inside of the bed, and held Meng Dong raised his hand slightly.

Probably because of too much blood loss, Meng Dong's palm was cold, but to Yan Hong, it was never warm.He couldn't help but buried his face in Meng Dong's palm, and said in a low voice: "From now on, there is no need to separate."

The warm liquid finally fell into Meng Dong's palm, and the smile on Meng Dong's face was blank for a moment, and then slowly spread.He felt the temperature in his palm slowly spread to his whole body, even the pain in his chest was no longer obvious.

Meng Dong sighed faintly, and said softly, "Yan Hong."

Yan Hong raised his head slowly, his eyes were slightly red.Looking at Meng Dong's pale complexion, he realized belatedly that Meng Dong had finally changed his name.

From then on, between the two of them, there was no former prince, nor was there any prince or male favourite. It was just Yan Hong and Meng Dong, and they never had to be separated again.

Yan Hong half-bent down, relaxed his movements as much as possible, leaned over and pressed an extra gentle kiss on Meng Dong's lips: "I'm here, thank you for coming back."

This is Yan Hong sighing from the bottom of his heart.He knew that if he really wanted to, he would always have the ability to bring Meng Dong back to him, no matter if he was Guo Gu or Sun Qianzhi.

But what he was afraid of was that Meng Dong was still immersed in the nightmare of more than ten years, that even if he took revenge, he would not let him go, and he was even more afraid that he would die with the other party.

Meng Dong laughed, and hooked Yan Hong's finger with his fingertips: "I should thank you for leaving me a way out."

That day at the riverside, when Meng Dong left, he had the thought of leaving and never returning.He knew how cunning Sun Qianzhi was, and also knew what kind of risk he was going to face, but he had been walking this way for more than ten years and had no choice.So even though he knew that it was very likely to be a dead end, he still walked on without looking back.

Then Yan Hong let him discover that he was no longer the helpless Meng Dong, there was already a person who supported him, let him go, and waited for him to come back.

Meng Dong used to have no worries in this world, but one day, he suddenly realized that he had engraved Yan Hong in his heart.He suddenly didn't want to die that much anymore, because he couldn't bear Yan Hong.

He gently rubbed the back of Yan Hong's hand with his fingertips. Although his face was pale, his eyes were exceptionally bright: "I'm actually not afraid of death, because I know that if I die now, you will avenge me. Will You miss me all the time. But because of this, I don’t want to die, because no one knows better than me how painful a life dominated by hatred will be. You have to deal with the grievances of your parents, I can't bear to drag you into hatred for the rest of your life."

There was a glimmer of light in Yan Hong's eyes, he wrapped his palm around Meng Dong's hand, and couldn't help complaining in a low voice: "Since you want to open your mind, why did you make yourself so embarrassed?"

He couldn't help turning his gaze, and glanced at Meng Dong's chest. With the efforts of the military doctor, the blood finally stopped.The military doctor was sweating profusely bandaging the wound, but the wound still looked terrible.

Meng Dong bled so much that he couldn't lift his spirits anymore, so he just smiled lightly: "Who made me figure it out too late, I have already sent myself into the hands of Sun Ganzhi, but fortunately, you are here, I can save my life and come back."

Yan Hong pursed his lips: "One day in the future, I will definitely take off Sun Qianzhi's head and give it to you with my own hands."

"What do I need his head for?" Meng Dong lowered his eyelashes slowly, and his voice became lower and lower, "All I need is you now."

Looking at this man's sleeping face, Yan Hong felt pain and warmth in his chest, all kinds of emotions gathered in his heart, and in the end he just leaned over and kissed Meng Dong's lips again, and said softly: "I will let you find out slowly. , you have more than just me now."

The military doctor finally bandaged Meng Dong's wound, let out a long sigh of relief, and then spoke to Yan Hong: "My lord, although this knife wound is dangerous, but luckily it didn't hit the real vital point, so this young man just needs to take care of himself." , change the medicine on time, and it will always recover slowly, so you don't have to worry."

Yan Hong was still kneeling and sitting next to Meng Dong on the bed. Hearing this, he was finally relieved. He clenched Meng Dong's hand tightly and let out a long sigh.
