Meng Dong

After the military doctor cleaned up the mess all over the floor, he retreated.Meng Dong is now weak and lethargic, and is not fit to move. Yan Hong can only stay here brazenly, and forcibly occupied the camp of the military doctor.

The night was dark, and after Yan Hong left, the banquet in the main tent had also ended, the noisy camp gradually fell silent, and everything around gradually returned to tranquility.

However, for Yan Hong, he doesn't care about everything outside the account now.Probably even if someone sets the commander's tent on fire at this moment, as long as it doesn't spread over, he can still sit here peacefully, as motionless as a mountain.

At this moment, in his eyes, he could only let go of this sleeping beauty.

Yan Hong held Meng Dong's hand and sat on the bed for a long time, just staring at Meng Dong motionlessly, with only the sound of Meng Dong's shallow breathing in his ears, feeling that his heart had finally stabilized slowly.

He felt as if he was walking on the verge of life and death.There is a kind of ecstasy and bewildering melancholy just after escaping from birth - he was just a little bit close to losing this person in front of him.

But fortunately, during the short time he spent with Meng Dong, the insignificant love he gave to Meng Dong made that lonely person who had never enjoyed the warmth of others so attached to him, and made him miserable. There is a little bit more hope in this life, and more willingness to live.

Yan Hong stretched out his hand to touch Meng Dong's chapped lips, and said softly, "You poor boy, it seems that I will treat you better in the future."

Although Meng Dong's wound has been bandaged, he still looks very embarrassed. Not to mention the clothes that can no longer be seen, even his body and face are covered with blood and mud. Fortunately, this man really has a good-looking one. or because Yan Hong sees beauty in his lover's eyes, he doesn't find it ugly at all.

After all, the army has limited conditions, and there are no servants who can serve with them.Before Yan Hong appeared, the military doctor planned to wash Meng Dong after bandaging the wound, but now that their prince is here, they probably can't do this kind of thing.The military doctor was quite considerate, he just asked someone to bring in a basin of warm water and a clean robe, and never let anyone bother him again.

When Yan Hong grew up to such a big age, he had someone to take care of his basic necessities, food, housing and transportation, not to mention serving others like he is now.But he didn't find it difficult at all, on the contrary, he felt quite a bit of self-satisfaction.Probably staying with the one you love, no matter what you do, you can find fun in it.

Yan Hong soaked a clean cloth towel in warm water, and carefully wiped off the blood on Meng Dong's face, revealing the original face of that exquisite face. Although it looked very haggard due to the injury, Yan Hong couldn't help feeling Feeling distressed, he placed a light kiss on Meng Dong's forehead, took off the original robe on Meng Dong's body, and wiped his body for him.

Because he was afraid of disturbing Meng Dong's sweet dreams, Yan Hong's movements were extraordinarily slow. In addition, he was not good at this kind of thing. After wiping Meng Dong's whole body and changing into dry clothes, he tossed for half an hour, and even his forehead was wet. A thin layer of sweat came out.

The night was quiet, but after all, he had slept for most of the day and experienced the ups and downs of his heart, Yan Hong didn't feel sleepy at the moment.He tucked up the quilt for Meng Dong, got up and left the tent.

The man in black who had just left was waiting outside the tent, when he saw Yan Hong coming out, he immediately came forward: "My lord."

Yan Hong glanced at him, then looked back at the tent behind him, put his finger between his lips, and made a silent movement.The man in black immediately understood, stopped talking immediately, and deliberately relaxed his movements a lot.

Yan Hong turned back and put down the door of the tent, and led the man in black forward for a while, making sure that he would not disturb the people sleeping peacefully in the tent, and then slowly said, "Why didn't you go back to rest?"

"This subordinate expects that the lord should have something to ask." The man in black turned his head and glanced in the direction of the tent, "Fortunately, the young master is fine, otherwise the villain will be to blame for his death."

Yan Hong lowered his eyes, and couldn't help thinking of the deep wound in his mind. When he wiped Meng Dong's wound, he saw it with his own eyes. As long as the person who cut the knife was a little bit higher, Meng Dong would probably never come back to see him. up.Yan Hong recalled the mood just now, for a moment, he wanted to prepare the three armies, go to the other side of the river immediately, and slaughter all those who harmed Meng Dong.

Speaking of which, he was really a bit of a fool. Fortunately, the cool breeze of this autumn night calmed him down completely.

Yan Hong took a deep breath, and finally said, "Tell me, what's going on, what did he do last night, and how did he become like this?"

"A few days ago, the young master made an agreement with Sun Qianzhi that after the Liang army set off, Sun Qianzhi would distract the guards around the imperial tent and put the young master into the Liang camp, creating an opportunity for him to attack Guo Gu."

Yan Hong let out a soft snort: "Sun Qianzhi's idea is a good one. This way, he can get rid of Guo Gu without exposing himself. If it doesn't work, he can push Meng Dong as a scapegoat, and he might be able to get rid of someone else." A good reputation for avenging your king."

"My lord's prediction was good. Sun Qianzhi really had such a plan. And, before Mr. Meng went to Daying, he also expected that he would be like this." The man in black whispered, "It's just that we didn't care if we temporarily settled down at that time. That small village is still in the entire Liang army, and there are people from Sun Qianzhi everywhere. Those people appear to be loyal and obedient, but in fact they only obey Sun Qianzhi. Mr. Meng can't trust anyone except me. Even if he refuses to go If you kill Guo Gu with your own hands, then Sun Ganzhi will always find a way to get him to go."

"What's more, he wants to go." Yan Hong sighed softly, "For more than ten years, he has been struggling with hatred for Guo Gu every day, so how can he accept such an opportunity before him? May give up."

The man in black couldn't help raising his head and glanced at Yan Hong: "It's still the prince who understands the young master."

Yan Hong smiled, but shook his head lightly: "I would rather not have this kind of understanding. If I didn't know him too well, why would I let him go to the danger alone." He couldn't help but look back and look not far away. The camp tents were shining brightly, reflecting in Yan Hong's mind, "What about after that? Let's continue."

"After that, the villain pretended to be ordered to send Mr. Meng to Liangying. He wanted to stay there and meet him after he succeeded. But Mr. Meng said that Sun Qianzhi's eyes and ears are all over Liangying. He successfully brought it out. On the contrary, it was easy to complete Sun Qianzhi's plan. He ordered his subordinates to return to that village, saying that he would return there at dawn, and let me find another chance to rescue him at that time."

The man in black paused for a moment, and saw that his lord didn't have any superfluous expressions on his face, so he continued: "The villain dare not disobey the order of the young master, and it is true that he is not fully sure that he will be rescued from Liang Jun's hands safely." The villain's life is not a pity, but if you really hurt the prince and can't see the young master, it is a heinous crime. After sending the young master to the Liang army's imperial tent, he returned to the previous village.

At dawn, two men in black really brought the young master back.In order to completely disassociate himself from this matter, Sun Ganzhi let people pretend to be our people, rescued the son from the Liang army, sent him to that village, and asked the son's adoptive mother to get rid of him, and declared to the outside world that the prince sent someone He assassinated Guo Gu and ordered someone to rescue the murderer, but in fact he silenced the young master, and since then he can sit back and relax. "

Yan Hong closed his eyes slightly, under the dim light, his face was dim and hard to distinguish: "What about after that?"

The man in black hesitated a little, then lowered his head and continued: "Afterwards, the young master confronted his adoptive mother in the yard, asked everything clearly, and also annoyed his adoptive mother. In addition, it was almost dawn, His adoptive mother decided to get rid of the son as soon as possible... so she called the villain over."

"Did you move your hand?" Yan Hong asked slowly?

The man in black fell to his knees: "Please punish the prince."

Yan Hong closed his eyes, and opened them slowly after a long while: "If it weren't for you, he might have died." He just felt extremely tired inside, and waved at the man in black, "Although you let him suffer Injured, but also saved his life, the merits and demerits balance out, I don’t blame you. It was him who was too cruel to himself, and finally put himself in this situation. This is the only way to save himself , this king can understand."

But still can't help feeling distressed.

"Go down." Yan Hong said slowly, "You have been trying to make ends meet on the opposite side these days, and it's been hard work. Go back and have a good rest."

The man in black raised his head and looked at Yan Hong with a little confusion in his eyes.

"After the rest is over, you will be responsible for protecting Meng Dong's safety in the future. Of course, with this king around, I usually won't give you this chance." Yan Hong sighed softly, "Go down."

The man in black let out a long sigh of relief, got up from the ground, and retreated.

The camp was extremely quiet. Yan Hong raised his head and saw the starry sky above his head. He raised his hand and touched his sore and painful chest, got up and went back to the tent.

Meng Dong's body was already a little thin, but this time he lost so much blood, although he managed to save his life, it took a lot of time to recuperate.After all, the conditions in the army were poor, the weather was getting colder day by day, even though braziers were lit in the tents, it was still not conducive to recuperation.So at dawn the next day, Yan Hong found a chariot and carefully transported him back to the palace.

When Meng Dong finally woke up, he opened his eyes and found that he was already lying on the bed in the attic.Everything in front of him was still familiar, he turned his head slightly, and found that the familiar person was still beside the pillow.Even though he had only lived here for a few months, he felt a sense of belonging inexplicably, like a wanderer who had wandered outside for many years and finally returned home with peace of mind.

He feels very miraculous now, obviously the day before he was still lying in the mud of that remote village covered in blood, not even sure if he could save his life, but a day later, he returned to this place His favorite place is lying next to the person who makes him feel at ease.

Meng Dong couldn't help but raised his hand to reach for the wound on his chest—if this was the price, he would be happy with it.

Yan Hong's sleep was so shallow that Meng Dong couldn't help but wonder if the man was asleep, or why he just raised his hand, and the man immediately opened his eyes and held his hand firmly. live.

"Why, the wound hurts?" Yan Hong leaned over while speaking, lowered his head and carefully checked Meng Dong's wound, and even blew lightly twice before turning his head to look at Meng Dong, "Is it better?"

Seeing his nervous look, Meng Dong couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, and nodded seriously: "It's much better."

Only then did Yan Hong feel relieved, and raised his head to see Meng Dong's chapped lips: "Do you want some water?"

"Okay." Meng Dong subconsciously licked his lips and replied.

Yan Hong got down from the bed lightly, lifted the bed curtain, and let the light from outside shine in.

Meng Dong turned his head and looked out along the open bed curtain.Everything in this attic seems to be still the same as when he and Yan Hong left Jiangling for the capital, traces of Meng Dong living here can be seen everywhere, as if someone has been waiting for him to come back.

Meng Dong turned his gaze and saw his favorite white cloak hanging on the shelf next to the bed, and a black one with a similar style beside it. It seemed that someone cleaned it every day, but the position hadn't changed at all.A thick stack of local chronicles was neatly stacked on the low table next to the soft couch, so that it was convenient for Yan Hong to take a look at it while lying on it.The other book was probably half-read, and it was thrown upside down on the stack of books.

There was still a remnant game of chess on the low table, which was played the day before they set off. Although Meng Dong was coaxed to sleep by Yan Hong before the winner was decided, Meng Dong knew that his defeat was over. It would take less than five moves to win a complete victory, but he was still not reconciled, and casually yelled that he wanted to keep the game and wait until he came back to decide the outcome.

He didn't expect that he could really come back, and he didn't expect that Yan Hong really made people keep this chess game.

Although sometimes he really thinks that playing chess is a very boring thing, especially when playing chess with Yan Hong, he always loses more than wins, and even if he wins rarely, it is mostly because Yan Hong let go of the water and has no sense of accomplishment, but, Meng Dong still wanted to study his own chess skills.After all, from now on, they have a lot of time to spend together, maybe he really has a chance to surpass Yan Hong.

It wasn't until this moment that he suddenly felt the ecstasy of turning a corner, because seeing all the real existence in front of him, he really felt how much his life would be worth looking forward to from now on .

When Yan Hong poured warm water and came back, he saw Meng Dong staring around with his eyes wide open. He couldn't help laughing: "What are you looking at? Are you afraid that I will lose your things?"

"I was just thinking, for you, there are thousands of choices in this world, why did you take advantage of me?" Meng Dong's eyebrows were bent, and a smile overflowed from his eyes, looking extraordinarily gentle.

Yan Hong stretched out his hand to help Meng Dongban sit up, and fed Meng Dong a half cup of water with his own hands. Watching his chapped lips slowly soaked in water, he replied: "Then you still chose me? After all, he earned a beauty."

After Meng Dong drank the water, his energy seemed to have improved a lot. He took Yan Hong's hand and made him sit next to him. He raised his hand and touched Yan Hong's face, feeling the stubble on his jaw. She smiled before continuing: "I'm different from you, because you are the best choice for me to live in this world."

"Aren't you my best choice?" Yan Hong pulled his hand down and interlocked his fingers, "Don't worry, people like me will never let myself suffer."

Meng Dong bent his lips: "That's true. Not only is the king of Nanjun very resourceful, he is also brave and good at fighting. Beiliang sent tens of thousands of troops to attack overnight, and finally ended up with an entire army wiped out. He also took it from Chu State by the way." A city, give it to your ally Southwest King, how can you let yourself suffer?"

"The city of Ningjiang was built by the King of the Southwest himself. It has nothing to do with me." Yan Hong smiled lightly, "I have been busy defending against foreign enemies and have no other time. As for the King of the Southwest, why did he come to me for no reason? Outside of Jiangling City, there was a fight with the Chu army for no reason, so that's out of my control."

Meng Dong followed him and laughed a few times, and then his tone became serious again: "I have inquired about this Southwest King, he is indeed a very scheming and far-sighted man. If you join forces with him and want to defeat Yan Tai, it should be one thing. It's very easy. It's just that after defeating Yan Tai, how to share the results is something that needs to be worried about. Ordinary results probably won't satisfy the Southwest King's appetite."

"He wants this world, and I want Yan Tai's life. We can join hands without conflict. Probably no one is more suitable for cooperation than the two of us." Yan Hong lowered his head, saw Meng Dong's expression, and laughed, " I never thought about wanting this world, neither did my father and son. Our father and son are probably the same kind of people, and the monstrous power has no temptation for us. My father will still do it for responsibility and for the world The common people, and guard this Jiangling City to the death. I have no future, I just want to guard the person I like, unfettered and free."

Meng Dong raised his head and met Yan Hong's eyes. After a long time, he let out a soft sigh: "There are so many people in this world who are trying to get that position, but you are different from them. The funniest thing is that even I feel selfish that it’s the best choice for you.”

"What's so good about that position? Last time you and I went to the capital, I saw Yan Tai's appearance with my own eyes. He has sat in that position for more than [-] years, and he feels anxious every day, always worried that someone will treat him I have my own plans. If a better emperor has long-term ambitions and is not willing to stick to it, he has to think about how to expand the territory and how to make achievements every day. He will not have a day of peace. Does such a power matter? mean?"

This is indeed what Yan Hong can say.Although Meng Dong is now aware that many of the things Yan Hong did that day were just acting, but his unrestrained, unrestrained and unrestrained nature comes from his heart, and this is what Meng Dong admires the most.After all, before getting to know Yan Hong, Meng Dong didn't understand what freedom is.

Seeing Meng Dong's expression relaxed again, Yan Hong felt relieved, took his hand and said slowly, "I will take care of all these things, so you don't have to worry about me. Although the King of Southwest is difficult to deal with, I don't care about it either." It will make me suffer. When you are in better spirits, I will tell you in detail. But when it comes to the Southwest King, there is one thing about him that fits my temperament very well."

"Huh?" Meng Dong looked at Yan Hong with some doubts, and he didn't quite believe that there could be anyone who could match his disposition in this world.

The corners of Yan Hong's lips twitched: "When the Southwest King really sits on the throne, we may have a male queen decades after the founding of our Chu Kingdom."

Meng Dong's eyes widened in surprise, and he didn't believe Yan Hong's words. Yan Hong smiled and said, "That little general Qi is also an interesting person. He has a cold face on the battlefield, and he never relents when he raises a knife. The battlefield is like a child, he doesn’t speak much, and his face is flushed at every turn, after a few days when your wound heals, I’ll take you to see them, and you can tease him yourself.”

The two were talking softly, when someone knocked on the door, Qingming got the answer and walked in, seeing Meng Dong who had woken up on the bed, heaved a sigh of relief for no reason.He nodded towards Meng Dong first, then turned his gaze to his lord, he had to sigh that this Mr. Meng is really not a mortal, and after only half a day since he came back, his lord's spirit has recovered.

Seeing that he kept looking at him without speaking, Yan Hong couldn't help raising his eyebrows: "What's the matter?"

Only then did Qingming come back to her senses, and said to Yan Hong, "Your Majesty, you ordered the kitchen to cook the blood-replenishing soup. I'll serve it up. Mr. Meng slept all night, so it's time to eat something."

Only then did Yan Hong belatedly realize that he had been dragging Meng Dong to talk, forgetting to ask him if he was hungry, so he nodded quickly: "Bring it in, bring the soft bag onto the low table."

Hearing this, Meng Dong subconsciously glanced at the low table, saw the chessboard on it, and said hastily, "It's just a bowl of soup, so there's no need to move the low table over. There's still a chess game on that table. I can move it in a few days." , but it’s a showdown with the prince.”

Yan Hong also glanced at the chessboard, with a gentle smile on the corners of his eyes and brows: "That's good, but from now on when we play chess again, I won't be merciful, you have to use your heart Study hard and rely on your own ability to win me."

"That's the case," Meng Dong said softly, "Anyway, the future will be long, I can even win the prince's people, and I can always win a game of chess."

"You're wrong," Yan Hong shook his head, "I won you." He stretched out his hand, brushing the broken hair on Meng Dong's forehead gently, and said slowly, "It was I who made you willing to give up the past. Freed from hatred, come back to me willingly and spend this life with me."

Meng Dong rolled his eyes, looked at him with a smile on his face, and didn't refute: "My lord is right, you won me. From now on, I will be yours."

"You are mine in the first place, but you sent yourself to the palace that day, and you can never go back on your word." Yan Hong met Meng Dong's eyes that were always smiling, and said softly, "Meng Dong, did I tell you? , I am pleased with you."
