"It has nothing to do with you!" Xie Jue's tone became even calmer, "Where did you meet the Northern Barbarian envoy asking for help?"
Lin Sheng was confused, "What do you mean?"
"Reply!" Xie Jue's tone was impatient.
"In front of the arch bridge on Yiheng Road in the east of the city." Lin Sheng didn't hide it. Xie Jue calculated the distance, time and the footsteps of the Forbidden Army in his mind, and frowned slightly.
"I know." Xie Jue turned around and left.
Lin Sheng was furious. Xie Jue actually ignored him completely. Who allowed him to leave? Lin Sheng led the imperial army to stop him, "Second Young Master, you just left like this. I can't explain it."
Xie Jue suddenly pulled out Fang Chuning's long sword and held a beautiful sword flower in the air. The cold blade swiped across Lin Sheng's arm. Lin Sheng was shocked and covered his bloody arm. He was dumbfounded and glared with hatred, "You..."
Xie Jue turned his back and sheathed his long sword. Fang Chuning was drinking and laughing, "Commander Lin, isn't this an explanation? You can't stop the second young master from resisting arrest and hurting someone, right?"
Xie Jue didn't want to say anything nonsense, and the two of them led the shadow guards away. Lin Sheng covered his arms and stared at their backs. His confidant asked, "Sir, what should we do?"
"To be honest, what else can we do!" Lin Sheng was furious, Xie Jue was really arrogant.
Xie Jue took Fang Chuning back to the Hou Mansion, but the child's time had passed.
The courtyard of the Second Young Master was quiet, and the shadow guard's figure was hidden in the night. Xie Jue was very quiet, and there were only two boys waiting in the courtyard. When Xie Jue and Fang Chuning came back, they were still resting in the back room. Xie Jue was not there either.
Tossing people around, Fang Chuning leaned lazily on the warm couch, a pot of wine reaching the bottom, "Tingfeng, do you have any more wine?"
Xie Jue came over with a bottle of golden medicine, looked down at the people drinking on the warm couch, and said, "Take off."
Fang Chuning almost spit out a mouthful of wine. Xie Jue's face was slightly cold and his eyes fell on his waist and abdomen. Fang Chuning followed his gaze and lowered his head and smiled, "This little injury..."
"Take off!"
Fang Chuning licked the wine on her lips and took off her outer robe neatly. Inside the outer robe was a red spring shirt, which was torn by a scimitar. The inner garment was taken off, revealing the strong and toned shoulders and back of an adult man.
Smooth and neat, with thin muscles wrapped around the bones, it outlines a perfect figure. The many scars on the chest, back and waist and abdomen are the medals of a general.
He had broad shoulders and a slim waist, and his skin was tanned to a wheat color. There was a scratch on his waist and abdomen. The scar was not deep, and the blood stained his inner clothes. After Xie Jue took a look, he woke up the boy and brought a basin of hot water over.
, Fang Chuning wiped the blood, applied medicine, and bandaged himself. He had done these things often and was extremely skillful. It was not the first time that he was half-naked in front of Xie Jue, so he was used to it.
Xie Jue watched him apply the medicine, and saw that Fang Chuning was very perfunctory. He knocked on the edge of the warm couch, and Fang Chuning laughed, "Okay, okay, okay... I'm really scared of you."
He applied the medicine carefully, and deliberately half-undressed, "Second Young Master, are you satisfied?"
The weather was hot and dry, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on Fang Chuning's skin. The moonlight fell on his shoulders, and the sweat and light reflected each other, making the red mole on his collarbone more vivid, adding a bit of color.
Xie Jue leaned forward slightly, and Fang Chuning smelled the clear scent of pine wood on his body. The second young master hooked his belt and covered this beautiful and erotic body. Hidden in the clothes, only the romantic and passionate fox face was exposed.
Face.
Fang Chuning really didn't take this minor injury seriously. He pulled Xie Jue to sit down and asked, "Why did you order the killing of the Northern Barbarian envoy?"
"Use the trick." Xie Jue lowered his eyes, but for some reason, his gaze still fell on Fang Chuning's waist and abdomen. Fang Chuning looked at him and thought he was stabbed through the waist by Dugu Jing.
Fang Chuning had known him for many years and knew what he was thinking, "Lin Sheng met the Northern Barbarians outside the arch bridge on Yiheng Road. Calculating the time it took him to arrive in Beicheng, he didn't seem to be lying. It's just that the Forbidden Army appeared there in the middle of the night. It doesn't make sense.
At this point, he should be guarding the imperial city. Zhang Bolan and the Imperial Army are guarding the Northern Barbarian Post House. If the Northern Barbarians want to seek help, they will go to Zhang Bolan, not Lin Sheng."
"yes!"
Fang Chuning raised his eyebrows, "You're just going to make a plan. Is it a temporary move, or is it a plan?"
Xie Jue raised her eyes to look at him, and Fang Chuning looked hurt, "It turns out that you accompanying me on the night outing was part of the plan. I was being sentimental and thought Tingfeng would really accompany me on the night outing."
Xie Jue saw him acting. Yes, if Fang Chuning didn't come to look for him, he would go out to lure Dugu Jing into action. There was nothing to hide. If it was just a night trip.
Xie Jue thought, where can’t I see the moonlight?
"They will make things difficult for you during the peace talks tomorrow." Fang Chuning was a little angry, "Why don't you drag me into the negotiating team?"
"squeeze!"
"What do you mean? If I am alone, you will be crowded? Kick Marquis Anyuan away and replace him with me. Not only can we quarrel, but I can also quarrel." Fang Chuning took Xie Jue's hand and said, "Brother, take me with you.
"
This shout of brother made people's hearts melt.
But this heart belongs to Xie Jue.
Heart of stone.
"no!"
Fang Chuning's face darkened, acting coquettishly failed, "I'm angry."
"go to sleep."
Fang Chuning moved back neatly and said, "I'm going to sleep here."
The warm couch is where Xie Jue usually reads and rests. Fang Chuning, a tall man with long legs, cannot straighten his legs when sleeping on the warm couch. Xie Jue thinks of the ferocious wolves on the Ningzhou grassland, ferocious and powerful, always hovering at night.
By the river, curled up into a ball.
He patted Fang Chuning and said, "Go to bed and sleep."
"Then where are you sleeping?" Fang Chuning looked at him with a smile, "Want to sleep with me?"
Xie Jue said, "I'm going to the main courtyard to discuss matters with my father."
"I'll go too!" Fang Chuning stood up, but was injured. Xie Jue's face darkened, "Fang Chuning, go to sleep."
When he called him by his first and last name, Fang Chuning knew that he had to compromise. But Fang Chuning himself had a strong desire for control and never tried to hide it in front of Xie Jue.
See.
It was a silent game.
Xie Jue said, "You can't listen to what my father and I are going to talk about."
Mrs. Fang was from the clan, her surname was Yuwen. The late empress had raised her in the palace since she was a child and regarded her as her own. When the late emperor was in power, Mrs. Fang was truly the eldest princess.
Fang Chuning's heart sank. The two looked at each other quietly for a moment, feeling an indescribable tension. Fang Chuning lay down on the bed in silence, and Xie Jue turned around and left.
This is Xie Jue's bed, and his breath is filled with the familiar scent of pine.
Tingfeng told him everything he knew, except for one thing. He wanted to pretend to be deaf and dumb. Fang Chuning felt a rage in his heart. The peace talks were a scam. Why talk if you can fight!!!
When Xie Jue passed by Xie Zhang's courtyard, he wanted to call Xie Zhang. After thinking about it, he decided not to disturb his elder brother's rest and went to find the Marquis alone. He hoped that his father would be sensible and not let him waste time talking.
