Congrats to the boss and his brother

Chi Jingyao looked at Pei Ye in surprise when he heard the words, and saw that the other party was also looking at him.

Pei Ye's expression at this time was somewhat meaningful and unpredictable.

At that moment, many thoughts flashed through the boy's mind.

He subconsciously wanted to refuse, but for some reason, he hesitated again.

"Second brother, do you really want to hear it?" Chi Jingyao asked.

Pei Ye looked at the young man and saw that he seemed to be resisting, so he wanted to say forget it.

But before he could open his mouth, he heard Chi Jingyao say, "Okay, I'll read it to you."

Chi Jingyao tugged at his sleeve, lowered his arm, and took out the few pages he was holding.

"The sound of the rain outside is getting heavier, Orion's second child is hugging the man in his arms tightly..."

Chi Jingyao held those pages in his hand and read them word by word.

The young man's voice was clear and pleasant to the ear, but when it fell into Pei Ye's ears, it was inexplicably tinged with several different meanings.

At first, Chi Jingyao's voice was a little uncomfortable, as if shy and nervous.

But gradually, he read more and more smoothly, and every word seemed to grow feet into Pei Ye's ears and heart.

Pei Ye's eyes fell on the young man's face, and he saw that the young man's cheeks to the ears, and even his exposed neck were stained red.

The breathing of the boy next to his ears became more and more chaotic along with the content on the paper.

"Stop reading." Pei Ye suddenly reached out and grabbed the boy's wrist.

The other party was slightly taken aback, looked away from the paper, and glanced at Pei Ye.

But soon, the boy's eyes returned to the paper again.

He didn't know whether he was too absorbed in hearing Pei Ye's stop, or because of other reasons, he didn't stop, but continued to read the rest of the page.

During the whole process, the boy clearly felt that Pei Ye's hand on his wrist was getting hotter and hotter.

The moment the boy's voice stopped, the room suddenly became extremely quiet, only the breathing of the two people remained.

"Second brother?" After a long silence, the boy called Pei Ye.

Pei Ye looked down from his brows and eyes, and finally fell on the young man's beautiful thin lips, where there were still wounds that had not healed.

The next moment, Pei Ye suddenly leaned over and kissed the boy.

This kiss was different from the previous tenderness, it could almost be considered a bit rough.

Chi Jingyao was pushed by Pei Ye, and his back hit the bed, and he couldn't help hissing softly.

Pei Ye froze slightly when he heard the sound, and asked in a low voice, "Does it hurt?"

"No." The young man looked up at Pei Ye, whether it was because of nervousness or shyness, his eyes were slightly watery, and he looked like he was about to cry.

Pei Ye's breath stopped, and he leaned over to kiss the boy again, but this time his movements were much gentler.

"Second brother!" Chi Jingyao suddenly grabbed Pei Ye's lapel and said, "Big brother."

Hearing this, Pei Ye got up and walked to the side of the low couch, pulled over the thin blanket and covered the boss completely inside.

The boss has always been obedient, he nestled in it and fell asleep obediently, and he didn't even resist.

……

Chi Jingyao buried his head in Pei Ye's arms, and it took a long while to breathe before he slowly recovered.

After he regained his sanity a little bit, he began to feel embarrassed.

He glanced at himself, who was disheveled, and then at Pei Ye, who was neatly dressed, and felt that the development of things seemed to be different from what he had imagined.

Is his second brother selfless dedication?

Just for giving, not expecting anything in return...

"Second brother, do you want me to help you too..." Chi Jingyao whispered.

"No need." Pei Ye got up and went to find a clean cloth towel, and said, "I'll wipe it for you."

The boy hurriedly took the cloth towel in his hand, and said awkwardly, "I'll do it myself."

Seeing that he was embarrassed, Pei Ye didn't force him, just stood aside and watched.

Chi Jingyao held a cloth towel in his hand, and said to Pei Ye: "Second brother, can you stop looking at me?"

"Oh." Pei Ye responded, and simply went out of the room through the window.

Chi Jingyao: ...

Don't look at it, don't run away, right?

But he thought about it again, his second brother might have gone to find a place to solve it by himself.

Why do you have to pay unilaterally for things that can obviously help each other?

he doesn't understand...

After Chi Jingyao tidied himself up, he lay on the bed in a daze for a while.

He couldn't help recalling Pei Ye's every move just now in his mind, feeling like he was dreaming.

Overall, the experience was good.

It's a pity that Pei Ye didn't let him touch it from the beginning to the end.

Thinking about it this way, Chi Jingyao felt a little disadvantaged again.

That night, Pei Ye stayed outside for a long time before returning.

Because Chi Jingyao was too excited before, he was so sleepy now that he fell asleep.

Pei Yeheyi lay beside him for a while, and got up and left before dawn.

Early the next morning, when Chi Jingyao woke up, he saw no one. He didn't even know whether Pei Ye had left and never came back, or if he had come back and slept again before leaving.

In the next few days, Pei Ye did not appear again.

Chi Jingyao couldn't help but suspect that Pei Ye might not have come that night at all, and what happened might just be a dream he had.Anyway, it's not like he hasn't had such a dream before, and thinking about it carefully, there is not much difference between that night and the dream.

A few days later, news came from the Qizhou camp that the last batch of wounded soldiers from the front line had returned.

Yang Cheng decided to hold a big banquet in the camp to celebrate.

"Why haven't you celebrated after you've been back for so long?" Chi Jingyao said to Yang Yue who came to report.

"My father said that everyone who is alive must participate, and that is called celebration." Yang Yue said: "So these days, we are waiting for those people from the front line to come back. There are so many people here, let me call you."

Chi Jingyao didn't expect Yang Cheng to still miss him, but he was quite surprised.

"It's enough to find someone to talk to, why don't you make a trip?" Chi Jingyao said.

"We are brothers now, shouldn't I call you?" Yang Yue laughed.

Chi Jingyao couldn't help thinking of Pei Ye when he heard the words, and his mood was a little complicated.

"Is my second brother busy now?" Chi Jingyao asked Yang Yue.

"Very busy." Yang Yue said: "You don't know, my dad excused that his legs were not good enough, and left almost everything in the camp to him. General Pei is now like a spinning top. Night."

Chi Jingyao was taken aback, wondering why his second brother hadn't come to him these days.

The two returned to the camp together.

Chi Jingyao first went to the small courtyard to meet Brother Zhang and Ruan Baozi.

"We came back yesterday. I said I was going to look for you in Zhuangzi, but Yang Yue said you would come back today, so I didn't go." Ruan Baozi said.

"There's nothing else going on in Zhuangzi for the time being." Chi Jingyao said, "If I had known you would come back yesterday, I would have come early and waited for you."

Ruan Baozi pulled him and told him some trivia about these days, and said that he heard that they were going back to Qizhou soon.

"Hurry up and go back, I hope to catch up with the Mid-Autumn Festival." Ruan Baozi said.

Chi Jingyao didn't know what he thought of, and his expression was a little sad.

"Ayao, don't you want to go back?" Ruan Baozi asked.

"I think, it's just..." Chi Jingyao smiled bitterly: "It's nothing, I just want to go back suddenly, it's a bit unreal, like a dream."

Ruan Baozi said: "Me too, it's really like a dream. I remember that when we came, it was the coldest time in the border town, half a year had passed in the blink of an eye. I don't know if autumn has grown taller. I haven't seen it for so long. I don't even kiss anymore."

"No, I've been separated from my second brother for so many years, isn't it the same when we meet?" Chi Jingyao comforted him.

"That's because your second brother loves you, I'm not as likable as your second brother." Ruan Baozi said.

When Chi Jingyao heard his words "Your brother loves you", the tips of his ears suddenly turned red.

That night when he couldn't tell whether it was true or not, his second brother also said those words to him.

So much so that when he heard this now, he couldn't help being a little dazed.

Before dusk that day, the banquet in the camp was ready.

On the spacious martial arts arena, bonfires and long tables were set up, and the sides could hardly be seen from a distance.

When the banquet started, Yang Cheng stood at the head of the banquet holding a wine glass.

On his left and right stood Pei Ye and another general, while the other generals in the battalion stood beside the long tables on both sides.

"The first glass of wine is to honor the heroic spirits of the Boneside City." Yang Cheng said, spilling the wine in the glass on the ground.

The soldiers shouted three times and shouted a short slogan, but Chi Jingyao didn't quite understand what it was.

His eyes fell on Pei Ye who was beside Yang Cheng, but because he was too far away, he couldn't see the other party's expression clearly.

Yang Cheng is not a long-winded person, he only said a few words before ordering the banquet to open.

Chi Jingyao sat next to Yang Yue, a little distracted.

He didn't come to his senses until someone at the table mentioned Pei Ye.

"I heard that all the documents from above have come down, and General Pei is only half a grade shorter than General Yang." A military doctor said, "Do you know what this means?"

Yang Yue said with a smile: "It means that General Yang will pass the seat to General Pei."

"What does that mean, when General Pei meets with the commanders of the two battalions of Xizhou in Zhongdu, he can make an equal salute," the man said.

"So powerful?" Ruan Baozi subconsciously asked.

As he spoke, he looked at Chi Jingyao, and said, "Your second brother is amazing this time."

Chi Jingyao couldn't help but smile when he heard the words, and thought that his second brother was really good, and he didn't deny it.

"General Pei is a very popular figure in the capital now." A military doctor drank two glasses of wine and got a little excited, and said, "I heard them discuss that this time General Pei will come to Beijing to report on his duties. Officials propose marriage to him."

Chi Jingyao was taken aback, and asked, "Why?"

"Why else? He has made such great military achievements this time, and he is also a handsome and unmarried son. Naturally, there are not a few people who want to cling to him." The man continued: "Of course, those who are too popular must be It is to avoid suspicion, otherwise you will be jealous. But where is Beijing, ten people are killed with a stick, and eight of them are rich and noble families. There are so many families here that there is no need to avoid these things."

Yang Yue heard the words: "It's useless, General Pei will not stay in the capital."

As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Chi Jingyao, and blinked at him with a teasing expression.

Chi Jingyao ignored him.

Because at this time another person said: "That's not necessarily the case. Although the Qizhou camp is good, can it be better than that in Beijing? General Pei is young and promising, and now there will be no more wars for a while. If he wants to earn a future, it is naturally best to go to the capital. If he finds another good marriage, he will be one of the best generals in the capital in the future."

"He said before that he would stay in Qizhou." Yang Yue said hurriedly.

He was probably afraid that Chi Jingyao would be sad, so he had been trying to speak up for Pei Ye.

"That was in the past, and it will be different when you arrive in Beijing." The man didn't know the relationship between Pei Ye and Chi Jingyao, so he naturally didn't have any scruples, and said: "You haven't been to the capital, so you don't know what it is Such a place. No matter how pure-hearted and ascetic people go there, their ordinary hearts will be touched.”

Chi Jingyao felt a little bored when he heard the words, and couldn't help but think of what Pei Ye asked him that night.

Pei Ye asked him if he wanted to go to the capital together.

Chi Jingyao wanted to say that he would go with him, but Pei Ye reminded him that this journey...

Later, Chi Jingyao was afraid that he would be hindered, so he gave up the idea of ​​going with him.

The young man was very disturbed, thinking of what the man said for a while, and thinking of Pei Ye's action of not letting him go to the capital with him.Later, he couldn't help comforting himself, maybe the other party was really afraid of him running around on the road, not for other reasons.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone drank and left the table one after another and started running around.

Even Yang Cheng, who was on the main seat, led Pei Ye to wander around the banquet.

After a while, Yang Cheng took Pei Ye to walk to Chi Jingyao's table.

"This time, so many brothers in the camp came back alive, all of you have contributed a lot." Yang Cheng said to everyone seriously.

After finishing speaking, he toasted everyone with a glass of wine, and said: "There is a decree in the court. This time, the Qizhou camp will send two military doctors to Beijing to report on their duties. I will think about it for a while, so I will trouble Dr. Zhang and Dr. Chi to go."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Ye's expression changed immediately.

Chi Jingyao happened to be looking at Pei Ye at this moment, and after seeing the other's expression, he frowned slightly.

"Why do we still have to go to the capital?" Chi Jingyao asked Yang Cheng.

"It's not just those who went to battle to kill the enemy that deserve credit. Your credit is not small. You saved my leg and General Pei's life." Yang Cheng said, "There are still many lives...how about it, Doctor Zhang? Dr. Hechi, would you like to go?"

Doctor Zhang glanced at Chi Jingyao when he heard the words, and seeing that Chi Jingyao had no objection, he accepted the matter.

"I just said you wouldn't refuse." Yang Cheng looked at Chi Jingyao and said, "Your second brother insisted that you didn't want to go..."

As soon as he said this, Chi Jingyao immediately looked at Pei Ye in disbelief.

So...he didn't misunderstand Pei Ye, the other party really didn't want him to go to the capital.

Chi Jingyao was upset, and after Yang Cheng took people away, he found an excuse to leave the meeting.

He walked all the way towards the small courtyard, but outside the martial arts field, he bumped into Pei Ye.

The other party stood in the shadow at the corner, obviously waiting for him.

"You asked me if I wanted to go to the capital that night, and you knew about it at that time?" Chi Jingyao asked with a little displeasure.

"Yeah." Pei Ye didn't deny it.

"You said you were running around on the road, do you want me to take the initiative to say no?" Chi Jingyao asked again.

Pei Ye was silent for a while, and then responded again.

"Why?" Chi Jingyao asked.

"You said you want to live an idle life, but I don't think it matters to you whether you go to the capital or not." Pei Ye said.

Chi Jingyao said: "Then why didn't you ask me directly? Why did you lie to me?"

"I didn't lie to you." Pei Ye said: "It's true to run around on the road."

"But it's true that you don't want me to go." Chi Jingyao said.

Pei Ye looked at the young man and explained: "It's an imperial decree to let me go to the capital to report on my duties. I can't disobey it. If I don't go, I will disobey the decree. But you are different. The decree did not name you to go, but just let me go." General Yang sent two military doctors with him."

"Why can't it be me?" the boy said.

"I don't want you to go." Pei Ye said.

"You can tell me if you don't want me to go, if you don't want me to go, I don't have to go." Chi Jingyao said.

"I'm afraid you'll change your mind." Pei Ye said, "I'm afraid you suddenly think that going to the capital is also good..."

Chi Jingyao was almost laughed angrily by him, and said, "Are you afraid that I think the capital city is good, or do you think the capital city is good?"

Pei Ye didn't respond when he heard the words, then he turned his back to Chi Jingyao, as if trying to calm down his emotions.

After a while, he turned around and said to Chi Jingyao: "The person who came to pass the decree that day was someone close to His Majesty... He deliberately wanted to praise Yang Yue and let General Yang send Yang Yue to report on his duties. He said that the palace There is a princess of the right age, and His Majesty is about to choose a husband for her."

As a rule, concubines of the Yu Dynasty were not allowed to be officials, so the candidate for this consort would not be among those who already had official positions, but would usually be selected from among the noble children who had no fame.

But this time, I don't know who is instigating by the emperor's side. When it comes to the great victory in the border city, it is a good choice to choose a reasonable person in the Qizhou camp to be the son-in-law. This incident became a good story.The emperor quite agreed with this matter, so he moved his mind.

Of course, the person to be selected must not be Pei Ye, because he has military merits, and if he becomes a son-in-law, his official career will be cut off.Even if the emperor wanted to, it was impossible for him to do so, so as not to leave a story for others, saying that he deliberately suppressed the people in the Qizhou camp.

But this person cannot be of too ordinary background, otherwise it is inevitable that he will not be worthy of the princess status.

Obviously, Yang Yue is a good choice. Although he has no military achievements, he is from the Qizhou camp, and he is the eldest son of Yang Cheng.

The person who delivered the decree that day told Yang Cheng exactly what the emperor meant, and the words were very clear, as long as Yang Cheng let Yang Yue follow him into the palace, the son-in-law would probably belong to Yang Yue.

"But General Yang didn't want Yang Yue to be his son-in-law, so he made his own decision that day, and the messenger recommended you," Pei Ye said.

If Yang Cheng knew about their relationship, he wouldn't be like this, but he just didn't know, and he thought being a son-in-law would be a good job.

If it wasn't for that brat in his family's brain is not bright, it would be good to send him to be a son-in-law.

"How could it be me?" Chi Jingyao said: "I don't have a background like Yang Yue, I'm just a grassroots."

Pei Ye looked at him and said, "But you are my younger brother in name."

Chi Jingyao was taken aback when he heard the words, and couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

"I'm not registered with Pei's family." Chi Jingyao said.

"No one cares if you are my real brother or not. They just want a reason." Pei Ye said: "If His Majesty takes a fancy to you, he can order you to be a member of my family. It's just a matter of words."

At that time, although the princess will not marry Yang Cheng's son, but if it is Pei Ye's younger brother, the status will match.

After all, Pei Ye's current status is not what it used to be, he doesn't even need to cling to the powerful, he will soon become a powerful himself.

"Second brother..." the boy said, his voice trembling uncontrollably.

Pei Ye held his hand and found that the boy's palm was cold.

"I don't want to tell you, just because I'm afraid you'll be like this." Pei Ye said: "I wanted to keep you from knowing about this, so as not to make you uneasy. General Yang promised me that he would think of other ways, but he I drank too much today and completely forgot about it.”

Chi Jingyao remained silent, but his palms were sweating.

He couldn't imagine what would they do if this really happened?

If he really became a member of the Pei family, even if the matter with the princess fails in the end, there will be no possibility for him and Pei Ye.

"As long as you don't want to be this son-in-law, I will definitely find a way." Pei Ye said.

"Of course I don't want to!" Chi Jingyao said, "But... what if the emperor changes his mind, what if he takes a fancy to you?"

Pei Ye said: "He won't choose me. He cut off my official career just after the peace talks in Chen Guo, which will chill the hearts of the soldiers of the Third Battalion." Besides, as far as he knows, His Majesty doesn't seem to be so intolerant now temperament.

But Chi Jingyao still couldn't help worrying.

Before that, he had never thought about these things, nor did he realize what the real kingship in ancient society looked like.But tonight, he seemed to suddenly understand that both he and Pei Ye were insignificant in front of such rights.

He was really scared, afraid that he and Pei Ye's future would not be in his control.

"Then... what if those people in Beijing take a fancy to you?" Chi Jingyao said, "If your majesty doesn't marry his daughter to you, he can arrange other marriages for you!"

Pei Ye was silent for a moment, then said: "I have my own plans, you don't have to worry."

"What plan?" Chi Jingyao asked.

"You just have to rest assured that no rich man will marry his daughter to me." Pei Ye said.

Hearing what he said, Chi Jingyao became even more uneasy.

"You can't help it at all, can you?" the boy asked with a sob.

"Yes." Pei Ye said.

"You lied to me." Chi Jingyao said.

"No." Pei Ye said, "I didn't lie to you."

Chi Jingyao sniffed when he heard the words, feeling very discouraged.

Seeing this, Pei Ye couldn't bear to make him sad, and said in a muffled voice, "If Your Majesty proposes marriage to me, I will say... I was injured on the battlefield, and I will be inhumane for the rest of my life."

Chi Jingyao: ...
