Si Tian Guan

    Just after noon, the scorching sun in the morning was entangled by thick clouds, and the air suddenly cooled down.

    Pedestrians on the street quickened their pace, looking for a place to hide before the heavy rain fell.

    The street gradually became empty, making the few people riding against the city gate look more conspicuous.

    The man in the lead was wearing a bamboo hat, and a long snow-white gauze hung down from the edge of the hat, covering half of his body, so he couldn't see his face.

    After exiting the city from the south gate, the man restrained his horse and looked back.

      It will crush everything below it like mud.

    "Qu Sitian, what are you looking at?" Someone next to him asked, "Let's go, it's going to rain in a while."

    "Yes," he closed his shirt: "It's going to change."

    The Queen Mother, who is dying, will make a desperate attempt to light a fire in the palace city.

    He thought that he was in the center of the flame and could not avoid it, but he didn't expect that someone seemed to sense a crisis and pulled him out.

    They have a heavy responsibility, and they can't delay, and they go south.

    Although the Thousand Sons Pagoda is in Yunan County, the county magistrate of Yunan has already started to rebuild the Thousand Sons Pagoda, and several times the hexagrams have directly designated the hills, so a group of people naturally ran first Go to Dingling Hill.

      Entered town before sunset.

    Although they brought a few attendants, the emperor was afraid that Liu Chongming would be a mess, and most of them were brought by Ding Lekang, or they could be assigned.

    After the three of them sat down at the wooden table in the corner, the entourage went on their own way, arranging meals, lodging, and feeding the horses.

    Ding Lekang poured tea for the three of them. He took a few sips and let out a long sigh: "It's hot and stuffy, and the rain doesn't end, what the **** is this weather?"

      "

    "No," he grabbed the front of his shirt and fanned it, sticking it, even so, it didn't feel very good: "I didn't know much about going south and north without Chongming. Today is an insight."

    When I go out, I don't know how to call my official position, so I just call my name according to my age.

    Liu Chongming said modestly: "I don't go many times, I just heard about it."

    They didn't have much interaction in the past, they could only talk politely, and they were tired and tired.

    Perhaps because of psychological troubles, Ding Lekang always felt that the prince's seemingly bright smile had malicious intentions, as if he was trying to get ahead of himself.

    Even on the road, this Qu Sitian said very few words, the white gauze covered his face, and he was so deep that he seemed like an exiled immortal walking in the world.

    I don't know why, the prince is so obedient, and he never had any quarrels with Qu Sitian. It seems a little different from what he heard and saw in the court in the past, like rumors It's like everything went wrong.

    He was thinking about it, and when he saw Qu Chenzhou slightly lifting the white gauze, he seemed to be looking at the guests coming and going in the lobby, and couldn't help asking, "What's going on?"

    Qu Shenzhou put down the white gauze again.

    "Tell Xiao Er to come and ask if there are rumors of strange trees eating people around here."

    "Strange tree?"

    Little Er smiled and put the small silver ingot in his arms, and answered diligently: "Guests can rest assured to live here, it is absolutely safe!"

    Ding Lekang's face sank: "I asked if you have any, but I didn't ask you about this place!"

    "Oh," Xiao Er hurriedly replied: "No! But the store welcomes them, and there are often customers who talk about strange things and change the pattern every few years. . It's been more than half a year, and I did hear this saying, hey, just make fun of it."

    Looking at Xiao Er's disrespect, you can see that there should be no similar murders in this vicinity.

    "What?" Liu Chongming asked.

    "There is no head and no tail, just say that people passing by suddenly disappeared, and in the barren mountains and mountains, not a single bone was found, and it became a tree eating people, you said Is this tree wronged?"

    "Where did the guests say that?"

    Xiao Er scratched his head for a long time: "I really can't remember this, I only remember that one is from Shimao County."

    When he heard the words "Stonemao County", Liu Chongming's eyes flickered and he stopped talking.

    Ding Lekang didn't know what to ask, and turned his attention to Qu Shenzhou.

    Little Er bowed and waited for a while, just pretending that there was nothing to do, sang and was about to leave, suddenly listened to Qu Chenzhou and asked: "Little Er brother, is there anyone with good looks in this town? Little Xianggong."

    Ding Lekang almost spit out the tea.

    It's really not a person's appearance, I didn't expect Qu Sitian to be so cold and inviolable, so... so...

    Now I'm so tired that I don't even have time to eat a hot meal, so I can't wait, is this holding back in the palace for too long?

    Thinking about it, it seems understandable. But such a small place, no matter how good-looking it is, can it surpass this one?

    Little Er was stunned for a moment, then nodded and smiled: "Yes! Yes! Do you need it? Right after you go out the door..."

    A bar of gold was thrown on the table.

    "I want one, you go and bring someone to the guest room."

    Liu Chongming answered: "Call me one too, and we will spend money together."

    Ding Lekang's chin fell on the table, thinking about it, this prince was not a clean master.

    What's more, the family slave who used to be under Chenghuan called Xiaoxianggong in front of his face. This is simply a dazzling provocation. How could the prince be able to swallow this breath?

    Ding Lekang was stuck in a dilemma. He was really tired, but if he didn't keep up, it would appear that he was getting older, and it seemed like he couldn't do that.

    He immediately decided: "Call me one too."

    Qu Chenzhou and Liu Chongming glanced at each other meaningfully, and he clasped his fists and smiled as if he knew it: "Laugh at each other, have fun together."

    After all, it is a place where guests often come and go. Although the guest room is small, it is exquisitely decorated and clean. The food box on the table is properly wrapped in a towel to protect the hot food inside. The tub of water is placed behind the screen.

    Qu Chenzhou changed his clothes, and before he could let go of his hair, he heard a thin voice calling the door outside.

    "Young master, the slave family is here."

     to take off his clothes.

    "Young master is tired all the way, and the Rongnu family relieves him from fatigue."

    Qu Chenzhou was pushed to stagger a few steps and sat down. Seeing that he was about to be pushed to the bed by the man, he was embarrassed and annoyed for a while, and couldn't help but slap him.

    "Stop messing around!"

    "Why are you still getting better and better?" Liu Chongming covered his face with a look of sorrow: "Young master is disgusting me for the first time to pick up a guest, did you not serve me well?"

    Qu Chenzhou bit his lip and looked at him: "It's just a trip to Beijing, why did the prince suddenly become like this!"

    "It's not because of leaving Beijing, and it's not sudden," Liu Chongming held back the happiness for many days, and flowers bloomed on his face.

    "Shen Zhou, I knew I wanted to come out with you. I was so excited that I didn't sleep for several nights. It was because Ding Lekang was too annoying, and I never knew how to avoid it."

    Qu Chenzhou opened his hand and took a step forward: "I look at Ding Lekang very well, at least I won't shamelessly pretend to be Xiao Xianggong in the middle of the night."

    Liu Chongming is very wronged: "You watched me before going upstairs, didn't you just let me arrange it, come to find you now?"

    "You..." Qu Chenzhou was furious: "Who is watching you! I just look at you!"

    "Look at me... Didn't you ask me to come here at this time?"

    Qu Chenzhou was speechless, after a while, only to realize that the slap was too hard, and now the palm is also aching, so he turned his face and pulled the hairband: "You Why don't you hide?"

    Several strands of hair were entangled, and he was about to tear it off when someone grabbed his wrist from behind.

    "Don't move, I'll help you," Liu Chongming sighed softly, and patiently untied his hair one by one: "Shen Zhou, when will you learn to be nice to yourself?"

    Qu Chenzhou's shoulders shrank, and turned his head away from him: "Where's the person?"

    "The two? I've set them all up, don't worry, Ding Lekang won't find out, he's still busy," Liu Chongming ran his fingers through his hair: "Don't interrupt first, Before we talk today, I have something more important to tell you."

    Qu Chenzhou got up and was about to leave, and was pressed down on his shoulders to sit down. It was not good that the sound was too loud, so he could only hatefully say: "What are you talking about, I haven't showered yet!"

    As soon as he said it, he regretted it, but it was too late.

    Liu Chongming hugged him horizontally from behind and walked behind the screen.

    "Liu Chongming!" He was anxious and shy, struggling several times: "Bold! I'm not yours now..."

    "What's mine?" Liu Chongming didn't have any trouble, just put him into the tub lightly, and went to the side to get a water ladle: "You're not mine, I'm yours, okay? ? Don't be so loud."

    Qu Chenzhou leaned against the barrel, his eyes reddened by the dense heat, he didn't want anyone to see, he washed his face and asked, "What are you going to say?"

    Liu Chongming leaned over the edge of the barrel to look at him.

    "Shen Zhou, I've thought a lot since I saw you on the day my sister gave birth to now. I always thought I remembered everything and had memories equal to you, but I found that I overlooked one thing. One thing—what were you born again for?"

    Qu Chenzhou shook uncontrollably.

    "Shen Zhou, I regret it. No matter in the past or now, I have taught you many things, but I forgot to teach you how to love yourself."

    Qu Shenzhou wanted to pull out his hand like a spasm, but was clenched tightly.

    "Shen Zhou, after you left, I was trapped in those old things for a long time, I wanted to protect you, but I didn't dare to approach you, I was afraid that when you saw me, I would think of loving you s damage."

    "I'm sorry for you. I thought, as long as you are fine, I will walk away. As long as you are willing, let me disappear."

    These words seemed to hit Qu Shenzhou's sore spot, and the sentence "don't" blurted out.

    "I guessed right, why are you so stupid."

    Liu Chongming sighed softly.

    The little fox who was sobbing in his arms that night, listening to the phrase "Why do you want to kill yourself?", he was originally emotional, and responded - I would do anything for you, even if die.

    But after calming down, I found myself making a big mistake more and more.

    The current avoidance of Qu Shenzhou is not what the other party really needs.

    For a long time, he had been immersed in his own guilt, but he forgot what Shi Yan relayed, which clearly said "I am ashamed of you".

    Always take all the burdens on yourself, and always blame yourself for all faults.

    I have never learned to love myself.

    In the past few months of indifference and alienation, Liu Chongming always thought that it was because of debt and resentment, but because of the "killing himself" that night, he faintly found an exit.

    He wanted to understand the little fox's determination, which made his bones chill.

    "Shen Zhou, no matter what I did for you in the past, I did it willingly."

    "I may be him or I may not be him, but no matter which one I am, I will not want to see you hold a grudge about it."

    "Don't go to a dead end, you are no longer alone, we have many ways to choose, can you rely on me?"

    "Since you don't love yourself, let me protect you, okay?"

    Liu Chongming noticed that the fingers in the palm spasmed slightly, and held it harder.

    "I promise you three things, first, I will never doubt you from now on, and second, I will obey you..."

    Qu Chenzhou naturally remembered that this was what he once said outside Shili Pavilion, he suddenly sneered and pulled out his hand.

    "Are you obeying my words? Did the prince forget, who stepped on my position to climb up? Do you dare to listen to me? Aren't you afraid that I will trick you again?"

    "Shen Zhou, I am really afraid of your calculations."

    Qu Chenzhou's eyes darkened for a moment, before he could bow his head, a warm kiss fell on his forehead.

    "You said you calculated all of us, but we are all safe, only you are scarred."

    "In this world, apart from you, there will never be another fool who is willing to calculate like this."

    "I'm so scared to death."

    "I..." Qu Chenzhou tried to calm himself down, but he could hear a choking in his throat: "I just treat the prince as a chess piece in my hand."

    The kiss moved lightly to the lips.

    "It is my honor to be your pawn."

    "Third, when the dust settles, go or stay, I will give you freedom..."

    The author has something to say:    Persimmon: You may not believe it. Let's go [嘤嘤] Shen Zhou: Okay, I'm leaving.

    Persimmon: ?
