The most unlucky crossing in history

The wind is high and the air is crisp, and the full moon is like a mirror.

The lights in the study flickered slightly, Zhong Qiyun stared blankly at the silent Xie Wenyuan, his heart suddenly jumped wildly.That crimson trace overlapped with the scene in his memory, that was when he pressed Xie Wenyuan to the bed, during the breathless gap during the kiss, he couldn't help lowering his head and sucking shun on Xie Wenyuan's neck... ..

It seems that the beating of the heart can be heard in the quietness of the house, and the sultry heat in the early autumn night seems to be worse than that in midsummer.Zhong Qiyun licked his dry lips, squeezed his hands tightly before releasing them, and then tightened them again. In the silence, he hesitated for a long time before slowly opening his mouth: "So, that wasn't my hallucination?"

As soon as Zhong Qiyun said this, even Xie Wenyuan couldn't help laughing. He avoided Zhong Qiyun yesterday just to let him calm down for a while, but he never thought that Zhong Qiyun always thought it was just an illusion.

If he hadn't been told to see it just now, wouldn't this man really just think it was just a dream?

But... Xie Wenyuan's heart moved, but even though Zhong Qiyun deliberately suppressed it, Xie Wenyuan could still hear the unconcealed joy in Zhong Qiyun's words.

Slightly turning his head to look at Zhong Qiyun, he saw Zhong Qiyun cough twice as a cover-up, as if he didn't want to show too much excitement, but after all, he couldn't conceal the extreme joy, the smile spread little by little, and the eyes looking at him Amazingly bright.

Joy is like fuel dripping from clear water, escaping from Zhong Qiyun, dyeing the whole air in a warm orange color, Xie Wenyuan, who was in the middle of it, was also dyed the same color, and his heart couldn't help but gradually became happy .

Zhong Qiyun understood everything at this moment.What else do you not understand?

If Xie Wenyuan didn't deny it, then he admitted it.

After realizing this, Zhong Qiyun said that it is not an exaggeration to say that his heart was full of joy. He kept reviewing every link and every scene of last night in his mind. Zhong Qiyun was a little lucky. It's fake, but fortunately, he remembers everything clearly.

He remembers every heartbeat, every hug, every kiss, every entanglement.

Especially, Zhong Qiyun's eyes trembled, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, especially, Xie Wenyuan pulled his collar and sent him the first kiss.

Zhong Qiyun couldn't bear it any longer and started laughing. Seeing Xie Wenyuan glanced at him because of the laughter, Zhong Qiyun touched his nose, looked at Xie Wenyuan, and said, "Master Xie, I think this is worse than dreaming." It's not real yet..."

he is not

Having thought about what Xie Wenyuan would think of him, he felt that Xie Wenyuan should not have no feelings for him.

Zhong Qiyun has always been transparent, but regarding Xie Wenyuan's mood, even if there are traces to follow, he would not dare to jump to conclusions. He put all his care, preciousness and weight on Xie Wenyuan, so he waited What is not the result of his own guess, but the response that Xie Wenyuan said personally.

That's why he deliberately didn't think about why Xie Wenyuan could have let Jiang Sicheng and the hidden guard sneak into the pirate's lair to pass on the news to him when he was Shendu, so why did he take the risk of going to the enemy himself to rescue him.

He would not think about why Xie Wenyuan allowed him to approach him several times, and even tolerated his hug. After all, he knew how powerful Xie Wenyuan was. If Xie Wenyuan didn't want to, let alone hug him. Even if you get close, you can't do it.

He didn't think about why Xie Wenyuan wanted to keep the piece of jasper that he bought by shipping for ten years, even though he knew that Xie Wenyuan never accepted gifts from anyone.

It's not that he couldn't see Xie Wenyuan's imperceptible struggle, but he didn't dare to think about it.

Because as long as he thinks about it, he can no longer control himself, just like that night in Quanzhou Bay, he just indulged himself to think about Xie Wenyuan's concern for him and the Lu family's past, it's already...

Because he knows that Xie Wenyuan doesn't want him to think about it, he knows that Xie Wenyuan has his own concerns, and he understands how much this person in his heart has endured in order to achieve the longing in his heart...

As long as Xie Wenyuan didn't want him to think about it, he didn't want to.As long as Xie Wenyuan doesn't break this layer of window paper, he will wait there and guard.

But last night...

He didn't expect that Xie Wenyuan would care so much, he thought of Xie Wenyuan's sentence: You did it on purpose.

Zhong Qiyun laughed, "I admit that I did it on purpose to provoke you by saying that sentence." But he didn't expect that there would be such a harvest.

Xie Wenyuan understood that Zhong Qiyun was responding to what he said last night, and couldn't help chuckling.

Such a situation should have been the best opportunity to express all the thoughts in my heart, but...

After laughing, Xie Wenyuan stood up, walked to the bookshelf and looked at the densely packed books on the shelf.

After a while, he said: "There are nearly [-] books on these six bookshelves, but there is not a single book on military affairs. Do you know why?"

Zhong Qiyun paused when he heard this, looked at Xie Wenyuan's profile, thought for a while and said, "Because you can't?"

Xie Wenyuan pursed his lips and looked towards Zhong Qiyun with a smile in his eyes.

"Everyone thanked the parents for not liking martial arts and fighting, and only know how to fight and kill if they look down on them

He is a military general, so he would rather read romantic poems and sentences than look at military books," he said, "but you say you can't. "

For some reason, Xie Wenyuan was clearly smiling, but Zhong Qiyun suddenly felt a pain in his heart, he stood up suddenly and walked quickly to Xie Wenyuan, hesitating but didn't know what to say.

Xie Wenyuan looked at the anxious Zhong Qiyun with a smile, and said again: "You are right, it is indeed impossible, because the emperor does not want to see a son who can command the whole army in the Xie family. I like martial arts very much, and I will not sit still today."

Holding Xie Wenyuan's hand, Zhong Qiyun understood that in the final analysis, the absolute power of military power is a weapon that the emperor can command the world, but if this weapon is not in his own hands, or gradually becomes out of control over time, At that time, the person who could command the entire army was the existence he feared the most.

Therefore, the Xie family, a family that has been loyal for generations and has a deep foundation in the army, is the last thing the emperor wants to see grow stronger.

Being pulled by Zhong Qiyun, Xie Wenyuan didn't break free, as if he wanted to say what he had suppressed in his heart for many years, his expression was rare and natural: "The more the emperor weakens the power of the general, the more he shows that he knows How important is military power? After all, the founding emperor of any dynasty won the world with the help of military generals. However, after Taizu established the dynasty, in order to consolidate the throne, he was afraid that military generals would take power in disorder, so he tried every means to remove military generals from power in the army. Daxing Wenzhi."

Xie Wenyuan seemed to be thinking about that period of history, and frowned slightly: "If it is said that weakening the power of military generals was a last resort, then it has gradually evolved into a habit of emphasizing civil officials over military generals, which is counterproductive. Today, military power in the world has long been One is divided into four, one for the imperial power guarding the city, one for the prime minister, one for the general, and the remaining one is scattered in the hands of the six ministers of the three provinces. In this way, the generals are under the restraint of the civilian officials, and even the platoons of the generals on the battlefield have to be counted. Let the civilian officials command, but the military generals can't decide, let alone decide whether to fight or not to fight when the enemy comes."

Speaking of this, Xie Wenyuan looked at Zhong Qiyun: "Do you know why it is difficult to produce good generals in the court?"

Zhong Qiyun said: "Constrained everywhere, if you can't fight on the battlefield, how can there be any good generals..."

Xie Wenyuan nodded: "If it weren't for the legacy of the Xie family's ancestors to let the Xie family's children learn martial arts, read military books, and the art of war from birth, it would be impossible for the Xie family to be able to produce generals for generations, but even so, the emperor would not like it. "

Xie Wenyuan sneered: "Without military power, the generals who invaded a country from foreign countries are still doing it.

No master, what's the use of being that empty general? "

Xie Wenyuan's appearance made Zhong Qiyun's heart ache even more, he clenched his hands tightly: "So, that's why you want to be a civil servant and take military power..."

As he spoke, he thought that Xie Wenyuan had quarreled with his family since he joined Wen at the age of 16, and he never returned to the General's Mansion. His heart ached even more, and he said angrily, "That's the case, why is General Xie like this... ...Does he not understand your thoughts? If you really don't want to be that general, why do you want to practice martial arts so far! Why do you have to work so hard to be so forbearing?! Even if outsiders don't know you know martial arts, how can he not know?"

Looking at the annoyed Zhong Qiyun, Xie Wenyuan's eyes were deep, and after a long time, he said slowly: "It's because he knew, that's why he did it like this."

Zhong Qiyun was taken aback when he heard the words, "Huh?"

Seeing Zhong Qiyun's dazed look, Xie Wenyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Have you ever thought that my goal is never just to be the prime minister?"

Zhong Qiyun was stunned again, unable to recover.

Seeing this, Xie Wenyuan smiled, broke away from the hand tightly held by Zhong Qiyun, turned his back, took a few steps, took a history book from the bookshelf, and flipped through it casually.

"General Xie's loyalty and courage are indeed rare in this world, although Emperor Feng Zheng doesn't believe it." Xie Wenyuan looked at the words and sentences mentioned in the book about Wang Mang, and said: "How about my martial arts and military skills, he will naturally It’s the most clear, but I, like this, have changed my course halfway to the text, and the purpose is not pure.”

It is written in the book: "In the ninth year of Yuanshou, Wang Mang ascended the throne as emperor", Xie Wenyuan said slowly: "He is afraid that the Xie family will come up with a person who will try to overthrow Dazhu and shame the plaque of Zhongliang for generations."

Speaking of this, Xie Wenyuan closed the book and turned to Zhong Qiyun.

Eyes met, he seemed to be smiling, but there was no emotion in his dark eyes.

Xie Wenyuan said, "Zhong Qiyun, I may not be the person you think I am."

However, before he finished speaking, the person a few steps away strode up to him and held his hand tightly again, even tighter than before, making Xie Wenyuan unable to break free.

Zhong Qiyun said: "So what? Even so, so what? I already knew what kind of person you are, and I never regarded you as a kind white rabbit. After all, I almost threw my life at you." Even if you want to..." Zhong Qiyun paused, and said seriously: "Then I will accompany you."

After Xie Wenyuan listened, he was a little helpless and couldn't laugh or cry: "Zhong Qiyun... Are you a little blind like this?"

"Nowadays, the civil society is more important than the military, and the arms are broken, and the frontier worries have never stopped.

Ping, Wei Hechao intends to use external forces to subvert the court, and the Tan family is incompetent to stop it. Now the situation in the court will be chaotic sooner or later. To be honest, Wen Yuan, even if you don’t tell me, I would have guessed it. The people who follow you now will definitely. …”

But when it came to this point, Zhong Qiyun stopped talking.

Speaking of which, Xie Wenyuan was not familiar with him at the beginning. When He Minqing mentioned Xie's family affairs, he thought that Xie Wenyuan could take everything from style to style, and he wanted to dominate the family.But the more we got in touch with him, the more we got to know Xie Wenyuan, the more this feeling faded away.

Because he couldn't feel Xie Wenyuan's crazy desire for supreme power, even if Xie Wenyuan had the ability to get it.

What he saw was Xie Wenyuan who tried every means to help thousands of people out of the flood, and what he saw was Xie Wenyuan who protected loyal ministers and celebrities, and Xie Wenyuan made him respect and respect him.

"No matter what, I'm by your side, guarding and protecting you."

However, the ten-digit promise fell into Xie Wenyuan's heart like a thousand pieces of gold.

Xie Wenyuan was about to speak when Steward Cao's eager voice came from outside: "My lord, Peng Yi is back!"

Xie Wenyuan paused.

Zhong Qiyun knew that this was an important matter when he heard the sound, so he let go of Xie Wenyuan's hand before he could say anything.

"Do I need to avoid it?"

Xie Wenyuan shook his head, for some reason he had a bad feeling in his heart.

Sure enough, Xie Wenyuan's pupils constricted suddenly when he saw Peng Yi who was covered in dirt and stab wounds.

Peng Yiqiang supported his exhausted body, and reported: "Zhang Yuanji rebelled, the Northwest Army was defeated, General Xie Cheng was seriously injured and remains unconscious, and the frontier is in danger!"
