"I didn't want to run away, I just hoped that he wouldn't regret it in the future, and no one would know how he felt about me better than I did. It was not love at all, but a longing for the person who had given him warmth because of the loneliness of being alone for a long time, and it was just possessiveness in the name of love. ”

Ling Yun looked at Zuo Chen, who seemed to be unmanned, so he also lifted the hem of his shirt and found a comfortable place to sit down.

"That's your reason?" Zuo Chen frowned wordlessly, and said with a hint of displeasure.

"Heh, it's okay if it's just like this, you look at his current appearance, the external trouble hasn't been removed, and he can't wait to try all kinds of means to occupy my place. He is the emperor, the whole world is not the king's land, everything is his, and it is understandable that he wants to get me, but it should not be in this case. Speaking of this, a touch of crimson appeared on Ling Yun's dark face, and he was silent for a moment before saying: "The Khitan people have already called, but he has taken away my military power for his own selfish desires, and he will not let me go to the battlefield, and he wants to cut off this great river and mountain, so I will not be willing to say anything." ”

"How can you be sure that this is not Your Majesty, and he did it on purpose to lure those people to show his feet?" Zuo Chen pursed his lips, and after thinking for a moment, he couldn't help but speak.

At this moment, Zuo Chen couldn't say what he thought, he should hate him, but he couldn't help but want to defend him, even if the person he was facing was his sweetheart who had lived with him for many years.

Ling Yun glanced at him deeply, and smiled helplessly and dotingly: "How could I not know what he thinks, although he is my cousin, he is almost a child raised by me." ”

Zuo Chen didn't know what to say, didn't want to pay attention to the pain in his heart for some reason, and put his eyes on the seat that could be sat in the sedan chair, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"You...... Can you do me a favor? After a moment of silence, Ling Yun spoke abruptly.

"Huh?" Zuo Chen didn't react for a while, Shui Yang's confused eyes looked at Ling Yun harmlessly, and subconsciously replied.

"Can you do me a favor?" Ling Yun looked away a little uncomfortably, and said with a little blushing.

"What's the busy?" Zuo Chenyou lowered his head, looked at the snow-white boots under his feet, and asked casually.

"Send me out of the capital, I am willing to repay me at any price."

"Why should I help you? You should know what kind of risk I should take if I want to send you out of the capital, do you think you are worth the risk I have to take for you? Or do you think there's something about you that deserves such a big risk for me, General, don't think that everyone's heart is as big as yours. Don't forget, what the hell am I doing to become what I am now, being crushed under me like a male pet but unable to resist. Zuo Chen glanced at the man sitting opposite him with some mockery, and replied in a disdainful tone.

"What if I say I'm not doing all this for myself?" Ling Yun's face flushed and said with some embarrassment.

"Do you have a relationship with me for whom? Why are you so confident to negotiate terms with me, I am not even a friend with you, why do you think I should help you. Is it the tepid temperament that I have always disguised, so that you are so sure that I am a soft persimmon, even if you let me be pinched and rounded, there will be no resistance? ”

Zuo Chen raised his eyebrows, which had been frowning slightly, and looked at him with a smile, his casual eyes were constantly surging with anger.

"Only this time, I beg you."

When Ling Yun didn't pay attention to Zuo Chen, he knelt on one knee in the sedan chair, and his dark blue clothes were spread out on the ground, like a calm lake.

With his head down, people can't see his expression, but even if he can't see it, he can see through the slightly trembling body how much he has endured psychological suffering.

The surprise only stayed in Zuo Chen's eyes for a moment, and then it sank, as always, without too many ups and downs.

Zuo Chen pursed his lips tightly, and put his eyes on the window where the curtain was raised, he was thinking, but he couldn't figure out what kind of reason could make such a battle-hardened man give up his dignity and kneel, even if he had suffered a great grievance before, Zuo Chen couldn't get angry now.

The man has gold under his knees, and he kneels to heaven and to the earth and kneels to the king.

"Why?" Zuo Chen lazily put his eyes on him, revealing a chilling indifference.

didn't get up in a panic to support him, didn't get up angrily and scolded him, and didn't spurn the man on the ground with contempt, some things don't care but care about what can be done, the reality that has happened cannot be changed.

"I want to go to the border to defend the city, even if I can only be a soldier, I can't let the Khitans step into the Central Plains. If I still have my life alive, I will definitely return to the court to ask Your Majesty for my guilt, and if I don't have my life to come back, the battlefield will be the destination of my life. Ling Yun lowered his head and replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Zuo Chen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows at this somewhat surprised answer, and said, "If you're just here for this, I don't think it's necessary. According to the news from the secret guard, there are less than 50,000 Khitan people who are in battle with our army, and this time there are 50,000 people brought by the general who stayed up late, plus 20,000 horses in Yecheng, at least there are more than 70,000 people, and there will definitely be no big danger. ”

Ling Yun was silent for a moment, his voice was hoarse and low, even more serious than Zuo Chen's, and sighed, "Those ...... It was just three days ago. ”

"What?"

Zuo Chen stood up suddenly, but because his body was weak, he stumbled in the swaying sedan chair and was about to fall, and Ling Yun deliberately opened his powerful arms to encircle him.

Because the movement was too big, it involved many wounds on his body that had not yet healed, and the bursts of pain made Zuo Chen's cold cheeks change his complexion.

At this time, he was trying to concentrate on fighting the pain in his body, but suddenly felt a cold, tears.

"The bulletin that came back at midnight yesterday said...... The general who stayed up late was martyred because he was ambushed, and none of the 30,000 soldiers he brought out of the city survived. Because someone in the military department made a mistake and lied about the military situation and delayed the warplane, in fact, the Khitan troops stationed in Yecheng now exceeded 100,000. ”

Zuo Chen raised his head and looked at the person in a daze, the eyes on his dark cheeks were already covered with blood, red and swollen, and he didn't notice it at all just now because he was far away.

"Why me? Why think I'll help you. ”

Zuo Chen looked away a little embarrassed, Ling Yun's eyes were so thorough, looking at him with inexplicable trust and sincerity, such a gaze made him feel that he was too dirty. That clean gaze made him feel so dirty, whether it was on his body covered with unbearable marks, or with a hint of jealousy that even he didn't want to admit to it.

"Because you have the world in your heart, even if you pretend to be strong, your heart is still soft and warm, and you will not let those innocent people die in these political conspiracies." Ling Yun's eyes flashed with confidence and dazzle, looked at him deeply, and said.

Zuo Chen's body obviously stiffened because of his words, stubbornly pushed away the hands that Ling Yun had helped over, wasted a lot of strength and sat in the original seat, looked out of the window with a wry smile and said, "Heh, you think of me too noblely, I'm just a turbid person." All the people are innocent, what does it matter to me? But for the sake of your sincerity today, I am willing to help you, as you said yourself, you owe me a condition. ”

"Okay."

Ling Yun didn't argue about anything, some things were clear to bystanders, he thought that he had never looked at people for more than 20 years, and he wouldn't be this time.

"Promise me so quickly, aren't you afraid that I will propose a condition that will embarrass you, after all, psychologically I should hate you." Zuo Chen curled the corners of his lips and quipped with some self-deprecation.

"Don't be afraid, even if you let me be your male pet, it will be my honor." Ling Yun fixed his mind and said seriously.

Zuo Chen looked at him with a little smile, and laughed at himself a little lonely: "How dare I climb the general to be my male pet, I'm afraid that even I myself can only be a male pet." ”

Neither of them said anything, just quietly looked out the window, not knowing what to think. The sedan chair went out of the palace and no one stopped it, Xiao Shunzi anxiously urged the sedan chair man to move forward outside, and after a while, he passed through the alley behind the palace and came to the Shangshu Mansion in the middle of the street.
