Chapter 102 Jiang Ri
Chapter 102 Jiang Ri
The insignificant river, the vast galaxy, such a beautiful day, but can only be bored on the boat, really suffocating the prince of Yanbei.Finally, when the boat stopped to take a rest, I was bored, and I was so annoyed that I wanted to find someone to drink.
The main boat was not adjacent to the one he was on, so he specially asked someone to set up a board, and carried the wine jar all the way across three boats. After boarding the main boat, Tong Xuan stopped him and told him that Ye Xuehuan was upright. Rest with Lan Qi, ask him to wait for a while, and let Ye Xuehuan come to him after the report.
The excuse was flawless, if it were Cheng Shujuan, Mo Ran would probably believe it, but it's a pity that Tong Xuan can't tell a lie.He looked at Tong Xuan's eyes that were wandering around because of guilty conscience, and then looked at the Xuanfeng guards arranged around him, and immediately became suspicious; if Ye Xuehuan was really in the cabin, why did he arrange so many guards near the side of the ship?
As soon as he pushed Tong Xuan away, he was about to force his way in. Of course, Tong Xuan didn't dare to really stop him, and half-pushed and half-led him to the deck.
Mo Ran saw Ye Xuehuan standing with a strange woman from a distance. Although they were pretending to be two steps apart, they seemed to be covering up; Rusi's every move smelled of seduction, but Ye Xuehuan not only did not avoid suspicion, but also pretended to deal with her in a deep way, and even asked the guards to guard the surroundings for him, which was shameless and unconscionable.
Mo Ran's heart was filled with unexplainable anger, and her anger sank to her dantian, and she suddenly shouted loudly: "Ye Xue looks beautiful!"
Ye Xuehuan and Yu Tian were startled at the same time. Looking at the sound, they saw Mo Ran rushing up aggressively, pushing Ye Xuehuan's chest hard, and angrily said: "What the hell is going on with you? Lan Qi fainted A few days on the boat, you can't hold back in this little time? Are you still a thing?"
Ye Xuehuan: "..."
With an innocent face, Yu Tian took a few steps back, then leaned on the railing and started laughing wildly.
"Take it easy." Ye Xuehuan glared at her irritably, "Don't laugh and call the imperial doctor if your stomach hurts."
He simply didn't want to cause trouble for himself, but what Mo Ran heard was another meaning, he raised his leg and kicked his calf, "Speak well to me!"
Ye Xuehuan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the urge to slap him into the river, and said expressionlessly, "You think too much."
This guy always disliked Lan Qi, and when he encountered this kind of misunderstanding, his first reaction was to scold Ye Xuehuan for Lan Qi's fault; Ye Xuehuan had nothing to say when his duplicity reached this level.
Mo Ran stuffed the wine jar he had brought into Tong Xuan's arms, rolled up his sleeves and wanted to fight; Yu Tian over there finally laughed enough, wiped his tears and teased: "My son, don't get me wrong, the prince and I are just discussing Itinerary. Speaking of which, the prince and I are uncles, and the prince is sister-in-law, we are all a family, so don't treat others like this."
Mo Ran was stunned on the spot, confused by the complicated and subtle relationship between relatives. After a long time of calculation, she finally understood, and she suddenly turned pale with shock: "You are Yu Tian?!"
After yelling, I realized that my voice was too loud, so I quickly stopped my voice, and looked at Yu Tian's stomach with lingering fear, "Aren't you fucking... How did you come with me?!"
"I also regret getting on this ship now." Yu Tian spread his hands and sighed helplessly, "If I had known this, I should have talked to Xiao Lanqi first, and I would go directly to Yue Jia, why are you going to the imperial tomb?"
Ye Xuehuan thought to himself that someone in the fleet was really going to Yuejia, but he didn't intend to tell Yu Tian; on the one hand, he couldn't fully trust Nan Gongxian, and on the other hand, he also wanted to keep Yu Tian with him selfishly. Side, there is always an extra layer of protection.
"...What does this have to do with Yue Jia?"
Mo Ran was confused, but no one was willing to explain to him.Yu Tian stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and said generously, "But since we're all here, I still have to go to the imperial tomb to find out. After all, it's my uncle...and my aunt."
"Who the hell is your little aunt!" Mo Ran slapped her hand away in disgust, "Even if you want to shout, it should be..."
He calculated the complicated and delicate relationship for a long time, and said with a straight face, "...Little uncle!"
The shoulders of the guards who were peeping around shook their shoulders, and pinched their palms to keep themselves from laughing out loud. Even Tong Xuan turned his head to hold back; Feeling.
Yu Tian looked Mo Ran up and down, his eyes were extremely thought-provoking, and he licked his lips and praised: "I didn't realize it before, Shizi is really a wonderful person."
Mo Ran couldn't help but feel chills running down her spine, and said vigilantly, "What are you doing here?"
"Of course it's to help you." Yu Tian smiled, "If it wasn't for that, how could the prince be so calm to me?"
Mo Ran looked at Ye Xuehuan again in disbelief, "You really want to bring a pregnant woman into the Imperial Tomb?!"
Ye Xuehuan himself hadn't fully understood the situation yet, and being yelled at by Mo Ran, he couldn't remember what he said to Yu Tian just now, and his head hurt.Yu Tian is also a watcher who doesn't think it's a big deal, and she will only gossip and describe more and more black and white when she stays in the venue, so she has to call someone to take her back first, and then deal with Mo Ran.
Yu Tian didn't object at all, she had finished what she had to say, she had to give Ye Xuehuan some time to digest and judge, not to mention she was too lazy to break up with Mo Ran.Although she knew that Mo Ran didn't have any malicious intentions, she was really disgusted by being treated like a porcelain vase by people coming and going.
Holding the lamp by herself, she walked gracefully to the cabin, and before entering the door, she turned her head and gave Ye Xuehuan a meaningful look.It's not that she doesn't trust Mo Ran, and she doesn't want to treat him differently, but Mo Ran entered the imperial tomb just for a piece of stone, which has nothing to do with the matter of alien blood; There is no need to be involved.
Ye Xuehuan knew it well, and ordered someone to take the wine bowl, and the two sat on the deck directly on the floor, drinking with the night wind and the river.
Of course, he would not explain to Mo Ran again what the different blood of the Feng family has been passed down for thousands of years, but simply said that it was related to Lan Qi's deed Gu, so he needed Yu Tian's help; but with just a few simple words, Mo Ran was already bored He drank several bowls without saying a word, and after listening to it, he hummed to express his acceptance, and then continued to drink.
Ye Xuehuan twitched the corners of his mouth, he forgot to ask Mo Ran what he was looking for tonight, but now it seems that there is no need to ask.
What Mo Ran brought was Chunmixue produced in Mangshan County. It was brewed from the pure snow in Beiling, mixed with a small amount of thin and light winter jasmine nectar, brewed in spring and drunk in summer, with a clear taste and long aftertaste, which Mo Ran likes The only kind of light wine in the house, it was difficult to get drunk in the past, but today it is only half a jar, and it seems to be drunk.
He shook the wine bowl and murmured: "Before we set off, Nuaner kept telling me that it doesn't matter if you can't find jade, and it doesn't matter if you can't cure the poison... Do you think he doesn't want to get better at all? Now there are people sitting on the throne Now, the Nangong family can't control him anymore, why is he still such a bad character? Why doesn't he think about it for me?"
Ye Xuehuan's mind is still full of Yuejia's affairs. He used to think that this small country was poor and closed, just hiding with treasures; Yushi has more exquisite Gu art attainments, and even has a stronger and more hidden intelligence network than Lark.Even if the original intention of the establishment is to protect oneself, but with such strength in hand, it is difficult to guarantee that greed will not arise in the future.Instead of allowing development, it is better to re-establish diplomatic relations in order to explore the reality.
Re-establishing diplomatic relations with Yuejia is by no means an easy task. First of all, the truth about Dang Daxuexun's poisoning must be revealed. This step must wait for Nangong Xian to deal with the Nangong family and push the culprit out, otherwise the Nangong family will be the first to lose.The second is that Yuejia may not be willing to expose herself again, and they also have many things in their hands. If the negotiation fails, it will inevitably lead to another war.But this matter cannot be dealt with for the time being, and they can only discuss it with Ye Xueyuan after returning from the trip to the imperial mausoleum.
Already very annoying, Ye Xuehuan just wanted to drink some wine in peace to clear his mind, but he still wanted to listen to his younger brother and sister who suddenly became sentimental.
"He just thinks of you so he doesn't burden you too much." Ye Xuehuan comforted me perfunctorily, "What else do you want him to say? If you can't find jade, die in the imperial tomb and don't come back?"
These words were already full of sarcasm, and in normal times, Mo Ran would have jumped up and retorted, but tonight he really got into this corner, and said dejectedly: "If I really can't find it, I will have no face to go back to see him. "
"...Mo Jingling." Ye Xuehuan sneered, "A majestic prince, eagerly looking forward to marrying you, why, before you get married, you want to make him a widow?"
Xu Shi was really angry, and Prince Rong, who has always maintained a cautious image, couldn't help but swear, and sarcastically said: "Don't worry, if you die in the imperial tomb, I will let the emperor go back to you." Brother gave Nuan Wen a marriage, and kept him happy for the rest of his life, so he has no time to think about your unmarried ex-husband!"
"you……!"
Mo Ran was so angry that his seven orifices were filled with smoke, but it was he himself who committed the crime first, so he couldn't say anything, so he could only spit fiercely on Ye Xuehuan's face, "Pooh!"
The two quarreled, and then continued the cold war as usual, each drinking dull wine.Chun Mixue wasn't strong enough, so she changed to Immortal Drunk; she had promised to bring it to Bai Houhou to taste, so now she's going to take a jar to pour her sorrows away before talking about it.
Ye Xuehuan thought about it, tasted it, and Mo Ran almost drank the whole altar of Immortal Drunk.The past six years have indeed been too difficult for him, and it is normal for him to be shy and emotionally broken now; even if he met Yu Tian suddenly, he was distracted for a while, but after realizing that her matter has nothing to do with him, all those worries and anxieties It finally exploded.
No matter how disgusted Ye Xuehuan is, she still wants to accompany her.He knew Mo Ran too well, so he didn't even bother to say forgiveness; and Mo Ran would probably be able to return to normal if he drank a lot of wine.
Sure enough, at dawn, Mo Ran stood up unsteadily, belched and cursed: "Damn it...don't care, I can't find it, so I took Nuaner to live in Chiyan Peak Go. Let Mo Xuan take over this bullshit throne, I quit..."
These words sounded familiar, exactly the same tone as Bai Houhou's tone when he said that he couldn't be the Princess in a fit of anger.Ye Xuehuan secretly smiled inwardly, blood relationship really is a bit of a mystery.
But his face was still not loose, he got up and straightened the hem of his clothes, and said coldly: "If you figure it out, go back to your own boat, it will waste my whole night. If Lan'er wakes up and can't see me, she will lose her temper again , I'll say it's your fault."
"...Do you dare to be more shameless?"
Mo Ran raised her leg and wanted to kick, but she was top-heavy after drinking, so she staggered a bit, only the toe of her shoe barely brushed against Ye Xuehuan's calf.He squinted his drunken eyes, and said with a sneer, "I've been talking about other people's lack of energy all day long, but I don't think you're far from fear."
He didn't wait for Ye Xuehuan to refute, turned around and left; Tong Xuan hurriedly called the guards to take him back, and several people carefully surrounded him, for fear that he would slip and fall into the water when he walked over the board.
Ye Xuehuan didn't bother arguing with him about the difference between "fear of internal affairs" and "love his wife", so he reservedly snorted out of his nose, and Shi Shiran returned to the cabin.
Lan Qi didn't take medicine before going to bed, and woke up when he heard the door ring.It was still dark, and only a small candlestick by the door was lit in the room; Ye Xuehuan saw that he was awake, so she lit the one beside the bed.Lan Qi slept very comfortably this time, and didn't know what time it was, so he yawned lazily, and stretched out his hand from under the quilt to beg for a hug.
Ye Xuehuan sat down on the edge of the bed, leaned over and hugged him on his lap, saw him wrinkle his nose, and asked with a little dissatisfaction: "Drink?"
The voice that just woke up was hoarse and soft, and the tone was slightly procrastinated, which made Ye Xuehuan's heart itch. He kissed him on the cheek that was sleeping soundly, and poured dirty water on Mo Ran without guilt: "No The way, Mo Shizi can't stand the loneliness in the middle of the night, so he insists on pestering me."
Lan Qi couldn't help laughing out loud, probably really rested, his face was fair and tender, and he was in a good mood, he didn't have any petty temper, he smiled with a pair of bright almond eyes, and the little dimples on his lips were as sweet as honey generally.
Ye Xuehuan lowered his head and wanted to kiss again, but Lan Qi turned his head away and said with a hum: "Scatter the wine, don't smoke me."
He said so, but his subordinates didn't intend to let him go, and lay crookedly on Ye Xuehuan's shoulder.Ye Xuehuan thought about it all night, and he didn't feel too sleepy at this time. After estimating the time, he asked Lan Qi, "Would you like to take you to see the sunrise? It's been a few days, it's time to get some air."
Lan Qi was originally worried that he hadn't slept all night, but after thinking about it, the voyage was boring anyway, and it would not be bad to accompany him to catch up on sleep after sailing for a while, so he nodded in agreement.
The two simply washed and changed their clothes, and returned to the deck.
The junction between the river and the sky began to turn white slightly, the night sky turned from deep purple to bright blue, and the rising sun had just revealed a small arc, and it had already dyed the entire river orange, and the misty morning mist turned into a cloud. As far as the eye can see, it is as warm as a fire, but the river breeze in the autumn morning is so cold; the light, water and wind that give life to all things together constitute such a magnificent scene of sunrise on the river. The sharp contrast adds a layer of solemnity to the picture, making people feel the vastness of the world and the emptiness of life.
Lan Qi took a deep breath against the rising sun, even if he was about to fall into the seasick hell soon, only this moment of refreshment could be comforting.Ye Xuehuan embraced him from behind, and whispered in his ear: "Do you remember that I told you that you were never allowed to say 'sorry' to me?"
"……Um."
Seasick for several days, I couldn't talk properly, but sooner or later, the account will have to be settled.Lan Qi lowered his eyebrows and bowed his head, his attitude was extremely obedient, "I was wrong."
Ye Xuehuan was unmoved, and slapped his butt a few times, the slapping sound was so crisp and loud that the guards around him all looked up at the sky in fright, pretending that they couldn't hear anything.
In broad daylight, shame was worse than pain. Lan Qi could even hear the hiss of the guards stealing air, his ears were red with embarrassment, and he didn't dare to hide, so he could only bury himself in his arms, whispering softly. beg for mercy.
Ye Xuehuan gave him a good meal, then patted his head and coaxed him as usual, and finally began to extract a confession: "Let me confess, what have you been thinking?"
Lan Qi bit his lip and refused to speak, looked around falteringly, until Ye Xuehuan was about to beat him up again, and then he heard his voice as thin as a mosquito: "If I am really a gu, what will you do? "
After two years, I still haven't been able to get around this acute problem.Ye Xuehuan never answered back then, and now she doesn't know how to answer, so she can only sigh and say, "I don't know."
He hugged Lan Qi's waist and let him sit on the rail.The height of the railing was as high as his abdominal cavity, and Lan Qi sat on it to be a bit higher than him, even with his head down, he couldn't hide his expression.
"What do you want me to do?" He looked directly into Lan Qi's eyes from below, and said slowly, "Burn you, bury you, or keep you by my side every day, regretting and guilty for the rest of my life?"
Lan Qi shook his head in embarrassment, struggling to get off, but Ye Xuehuan held him firmly, and even pushed him back, half of his body was already out of the boat.
With the river water slapping against the ship's plank behind him, Ye Xuehuan didn't give him a way out, and threw the difficult problem he threw back in a different way.
——Ye Xuehuan had already seen through his little dark and dirty thoughts.
"I also want to ask you, Lan'er." Ye Xuehuan said calmly, "If I die...what will you do?"
Lan Qi panicked and almost couldn't sit still. He instinctively raised his legs and hooked Ye Xuehuan's waist, supported his shoulders with both hands, and slid down from the railing, almost hanging on his body. On him, there was a gesture of coquettishness and shamelessness; Ye Xuehuan was not soft-hearted at all, she insisted on holding his face so that he could not hide it, her forehead was pressed against her forehead, and she asked again word by word: "What will you do?"
The sky is bright, the morning fog clears, and all the ships are preparing to set sail. The noisy voices of people come from afar, mixed with the loud and clear singing of water birds. It is lively and lively, and it is a magnificent scene in the world; Xi Guangzhong hugged each other in an extremely ambiguous posture, cheek to cheek, as if they were about to kiss each other in the next moment.The guards on the boat were all familiar with it, and they all thought it was the morning fun of the prince and young master Xiaolan, but no one could have imagined that what they were talking about was actually an extremely cruel farewell to life and death.
Lan Qi carefully watched Ye Xuehuan's expression, trying to get a glimpse of the answer he wanted to hear; however, Ye Xuehuan's face was indifferent, and a pair of phoenix eyes were shining like glazed beads, so dazzling that no one could see anything. mood.
Ye Xuehuan had never been so harsh since talking about everything in Yunshui Pass.Lan Qi had to seriously think about this question that was always avoided, but if it wasn't for that time, it would be difficult for him to make a decision based on imagination.
Maybe he will resolutely abandon everything and go with him, maybe he will bleed for life, and pass on the unbearable grief to Ye Xuehuan, or maybe he will be persuaded and comforted by more people, and guard the Rongfu for Ye Xuehuan. Zunwei, pin all his thoughts on the still young Jinlin.
All his connection with this world started with Ye Xuehuan, and it was not limited to Ye Xuehuan anymore. Even after the most terrible situation happened, all the concerns on Ye Xuehuan would be tied to him, making him unable to Give up your life so easily.
Of course he knew very well that it was the most responsible way to live with everything on his back, but that was too hard and painful, and after enjoying such meticulous and sweet care and love, he could no longer bear that kind of weight.
Lan Qi was forced so hard that he leaned forward to ask for a kiss as if to please him, trying to get away with it; Ye Xuehuan turned his head to avoid it expressionlessly, and still did not speak, waiting for his answer.
"……I have no idea."
Lan Qi gave an angry answer in the end, his voice was choked with sobs, his eye circles were red, but he stubbornly did not shed tears, the eyelashes were wet with water vapor, and he looked extremely wronged.
Only then did Ye Xuehuan kiss him at the corner of his eyes, hugged him in his arms and patted his back lightly, his voice was slow and soft, "It's fine if you don't know. I don't want to give you a chance to know, and you don't want to let him know." I have a chance to know, okay?"
Lan Qi responded muffledly on his shoulder, buried her face in the hollow of his neck, and her tense shoulders also collapsed.Ye Xuehuan saw his reaction, and knew that she had done it, she supported his leg with one hand, and stroked the back of his neck with the other, she was not in a hurry to comfort him, and wanted him to relax.
Perhaps it was because of the experience of "death" when he was young, Lan Qi didn't have much fear of death that ordinary people should have; because of the influence of Qi Gu and Queen Chu on him, he even had an inexplicable dedication In Skylark, he desperately wanted to live because this life was not his own. Once he got to the master's side, he could sacrifice and sacrifice at any time.
In the days when we first met, he really didn't spare his life, and he would ask to be a bait every now and then, and he could easily say "change his life". Ye Xuehuan sometimes felt scared when he looked back, if he hadn't been emotional, Or if he lacked a little love, how far this silly and stubborn kitten would fight for him.
Even now, Lan Qi still hasn't completely given up these very undesirable thoughts.
After all, he was young and hadn't experienced too much killing and bloodshed, so he still didn't understand how heavy life and death were.Ye Xuehuan has seen too many family members of the martyrs who came to claim their badges after the war. They may be sad or crazy, they will loudly scold the superior officers for not protecting their subordinates, and they will also make passionate statements that martyrdom is the best destination for a man. Most of them were weak and helpless women and children, their eyes were red from crying, they took back their badges and pensions with trembling hands, and even said thank you in a broken voice.
A martyr, 50 taels of pension, clearly marked price.
They don't understand the free and unrestrained feelings of the man wrapped in horse leather, and they don't know how to blame the imperial court for constant conquests. During the time, there is no need to worry about food and clothing, and then take this "huge sum" to remarry someone else and start a new life.
In the face of the lost lives, any glorious rhetoric of "sacrificing one's life for the country" seems so pale and powerless, but in the end, it is still measured by money when it is implemented.
Ye Xuehuan felt incomprehensible to these women for a while, but then gradually became numb and relieved.He can't expect the country women to know what to do forever and never change until death. What is placed in front of them is always the most realistic daily necessities, and there is no other way to survive except to find a new reliance for themselves.
Lan Qi would secretly speculate on how he would deal with Gu Hua, so naturally he also secretly speculated on how Lan Qi would deal with his death.It is certainly impossible for Lan Qi to find another new branch like those ignorant village women, but he would not be as distraught as ordinary family members; he guessed that his kitten would close himself again, at least for a long time. Immersed in the good memories and unwilling to come out, I will be drunk and dreamy in front of his tomb, and at night I have to hug his robes and smell his scent to fall asleep.
He might regain his strength for their little son, or he might end up alone, but unless Lan Qi chooses the cruelest and most decisive change of life, he will never know Lan Qi's choice.
A person will eventually turn into a piece of loess after living for a lifetime. Even if his name can be preserved in history, it will be difficult for future generations to piece together a person with flesh and blood from limited words; Because no one knows how the person he cherishes will treat his death, and no one knows how long he can survive in people's memory.That's why Ye Xuehuan was so annoyed when Mo Ranxuan said that he had no face to go back alive. They were all born on the battlefield, and they were so indifferent.
Of course, Ye Xuehuan also has selfish intentions, and he really wants to be like his previous strong and domineering declarations, even if he goes to hell, he will carry Lan Qi with him, and he will hold Lan Qi in his coffin when he dies. The result of suggestion and inducement.The first half of Lan Qi's life was bound too tightly, and he was the only one in his eyes, so he could easily entrust his life to him; but he hoped that Lan Qi would make more changes after seeing the magnificence of the world and experiencing the joy of life. Careful decision.
Now he is more and more able to understand the deep love and expectations contained in Queen Chu's "unrestricted" towards him, and he has to admit that he is more and more like Queen Chu in some respects; his exclusive desire for Lan Qi It began to contain more and more indulgence, wanting to put him back into the chaotic world of flowers and flowers, give him an endless and vast world, and then confidently and proudly believe that he will still choose himself in the end.
Ye Xuehuan even thought unprincipledly that even if Lan Qi really chose to change his life to become a gu, he would still forgive and bear the consequences. After all, his kitten became so delicate and fragile, and he did not want to experience pain. But of course he couldn't tell Lan Qi like this, otherwise he would really spoil him.
Lan Qi was still lying on his shoulders, trembling slightly, but Ye Xuehuan knew very well that he was just pretending to be pitiful to deceive sympathy.Since returning from Yunshuiguan, Lan Qi has hardly shed tears anymore—not counting being fucked and crying on the bed.
"Good baby." Ye Xuehuan pinched his earlobe, "Ask you again, who am I?"
It was a light sentence, but it implied a deep meaning, reminding him to answer carefully.
Lan Qi is very obedient at the moment, looking up at him, her almond eyes are wet, she pouted and whispered: "Yes, my man..."
Probably because Ye Xuexun had read too much of the little storybooks that he had secretly stuffed, and he became sluggish after hearing and seeing them, and he learned the seductive little fairies in the storybooks vividly.
"It's good to know." Ye Xuehuan nodded in satisfaction, and half-jokingly said, "As long as you don't splash green on your man's head, you can forgive me. So don't be afraid, huh?"
Lan Qi wanted to laugh when he heard the first half of the sentence, thinking that he had fooled it, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, the corners of his mouth could not be raised.Ye Xuehuan was too tolerant and trusting to him, which made him suddenly have the courage and impulse to tell the whole story about the pigeon blood stone tassel.
However, just after he opened his mouth, Tong Xuan came over to ask for instructions inappropriately: "All the ships are ready, do you want to weigh anchor?"
Lan Qi's face stiffened instantly, with an indescribable sense of loss and bewilderment.Ye Xuehuan only thought that he was afraid of seasickness and pitied him in his heart, so he decided to be stupid, and while carrying him back to the cabin, he said: "Let's lift the anchor after breakfast, it won't be a while."
Tong Xuan responded and went to give instructions.After Lan Qi vented his anger, he didn't know how to speak anymore; he could only comfort himself in his heart, that when everything was over, he would confess, apologize, and live a lifetime with his man.
He was willful again, but he knew that he would be forgiven.
