Shen Qiyu packed up the mattress, pressed the piece of black material under the pillow, and in the spirit of thrift, he planned to take some time to sew it onto his clothes.

He walked towards the door, but found a piece of paper under the oil lamp on the table, which read: On the night of September 15, the original hillside was about.

Shen Qiyu had a headache. But before that, his stomach protested.

He crumpled the note and threw it away, but the contents of the paper were clearly imprinted in his mind.

There are still 20 days left before the appointment of September 15, and everything is as usual for Shen Qiyu. It's just that he never met Shen Zeyun again when he was a guerrilla.

During this period, Shen Qiyu also received a letter from King Nan, to the effect that he asked Shen Qiyu if he had adapted to the military camp and whether he had gained anything, and at the same time talked about the situation in Li Duli. Shen Qiyu used to think that Nanwang was a bold and neat person, but he didn't know that he was also a person who could write three pieces of letterhead. It's just that these three big sheets are completely insufficient for Shen Qiyu.

It has been two months since he left Leto, and he has not received a word about his family, and his thoughts are growing stronger and stronger.

He read the letter twice, folded it carefully, put it back in it, and pressed it to the bottom of the stack of books on the left side of the desk. Then pick up the pen and write a reply.

Obviously, there are many unaccustomed and painful things, but he can't write a word. He greeted them one by one, and told Princess Yuyun to study hard as a brother, as if the king of the south was possessed. The words on Thaksin's letter seem to linger, but every sentence expresses his firmness: the frontier is not as good as home, but it has its own benefits.

The closer the day was to September 15, the more anxious Shen Qiyu became. In a day, there can be more than a dozen capricious between "going to an appointment" and "not going to an appointment".

But when it came time to decide, he rode his horse almost without hesitation.

Shen Qiyu took advantage of the afterglow of the setting sun, and it was already completely dark by the time he arrived. There is a full moon hanging alone in the sky, and she does not hesitate to sprinkle her clear light on the earth. In addition, the wind blowing on the cheeks with the chill of late autumn reminds me of the word "cold".

On the small hill, a little light is very conspicuous.

Shen Qiyu reined in his horse, took a step and went up, and saw Shen Zeyun lying on the ground, crossing Erlang's legs, and did not turn his head to look at him, so he said: "What are you doing lying on the ground, the wind is cold and the dew is heavy, be careful of catching a cold." ”

The people on the ground casually pulled their heads: "Look at the moon." ”

Shen Qiyu said dryly, "Oh. The night of the Mid-Autumn Festival is cloudy, and today is fine, and there are no clouds. ”

"In this way, I generally don't look at the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon is full and there is no family reunion. But today's moon is really good," Shen Zeyun turned his head, glanced at the visitor, stretched out his hand and patted his right side, and motioned for the young man to lie down as well, "Lying down and watching the moon has a different flavor." ”

Shen Qiyu didn't move, he didn't wear armor, and he didn't want to wash clothes.

Shen Zeyun seems to have a lot of words: "Do you know what season is the best season to admire the moon?" ”

"Autumn. Especially in the autumn when there are strong winds like this. ”

"How do you know. Shen Zeyun smiled.

"You just praised today's moon, and when you ask at this time, you naturally want me to answer like this. It's like when you say to me after eating watermelon and exclaiming, 'Do you know when is the best time to eat watermelon?' ”

Shen Zeyun smiled again: "It's very reasonable, you are really a little clever ghost." ”

Shen Qiyu shivered at the right time.

"The autumn is high and cool, the wind has blown away the clouds for thousands of miles, and only the lonely moon is left in the sky. His voice was a little lonely, "The wind blows away." ”

Shen Qiyu felt that he might have to talk for a long time tonight, and he was a little tired from standing all the time, and felt that he would definitely sit down in the end. Anyway, clothes are destined to be dirty, and they are the same in the morning and in the evening, and they are destined to be washed, and a little dirty is the same as a piece of dirty. Anyway, he didn't wash the clothes. I simply lay down.

"Why did you call me here today?"

Shen Zeyun turned his head, looked at him lying down, and said, "Today is my birthday." ”

"Happy birthday. Shen Qiyu said, "It's just that I didn't know in advance, and I didn't bring you any gifts." ”

"The birthday of the elderly is a big deal, the child's birthday is a big deal, and the old people are not small. I didn't hold a banquet, and I can't accept your congratulatory gifts. ”

Shen Qiyu thought it was interesting and asked again, "Then have you eaten longevity noodles?"

"No, no one cooks for me, and I don't want to bother. ”

Shen Qiyu thought to himself, no one cooked for him, is his popularity so bad?

Shen Zeyun said again: "It doesn't matter, the important thing is between you and me." He had a hippie smile, "Are you telling the truth?"

The tone was clearly threatening, hiding the meaning of "If you dare to deny it, I will pick your skin, pump your tendons, drink your blood, and eat your flesh".

Shen Qiyu pondered how to answer. He was not afraid of his threat, but he was afraid of going against his own heart.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Shen Zeyun thought he was denying it, and held on to a calm and breezy look: "I expected this, anyway, in the past twenty years, no one is willing to be close to me." He then denied, "Oh no, it's twenty-one years." ”

Shen Qiyu interrupted him: "You are really self-inflicted, and before others answered, you thought that you were like this, and put on a look of rejecting people thousands of miles away." Who else would dare to approach you?"

"Then what do you mean?" Shen Zeyun was very happy, and then kicked his nose and said, "Why?

Shen Qiyu said honestly: "You are good-looking. Shen Qiyu was very distressed, is he no longer the ambitious young man of Li Guo. Such superficial words are actually said by yourself?

“...... You're right, but I always feel like I'm being treated like that. That's a good start. He said, "Do you want to know what I have taken a fancy to you?"

"I don't want to. "Very coldly refused.

"You don't want to hear it, but I want to say it. Shen Zeyun was triumphant, and he was a completely different person compared to Fang Cai, "Because you are naïve, it's rare." ”

Shen Qiyu was disdainful in his heart: "Innocent? A three-year-old child is also naïve." ”

Shen Zeyun sat up and turned his head to look at Shen Qiyu. The light is not bright enough, and he can only see the other party's facial features, but he seems to see the affection in his eyes. He said, "If you give me a little warmth, I will take it very hot, just to keep this little warmth." He smiled self-deprecatingly, and had an unspoken sentence in his heart: "In the end, it's still selfish." ”

Shen Qiyu thought, "What would happen if the emperor and the king of the south knew that they were like this with a man?" and then he realized what he was thinking and jumped down. His whole mind was a mess, and he didn't want to dwell on it anymore. Casually asked, "Who are you?" is indeed a casual question, but this is exactly what he has been trying to do in recent days.

Shen Zeyun lay down again, such an action made the people around him feel from scorching heat to cold. He said, "A living man, can he still be a dead man?"

He let out a long sigh: "You're trying to find out what I'm doing." Shen Zeyun, the son of Shen Yi, the prime minister of the dynasty - of course, refers to Jiang Guo. I don't remember how old I was when I was sent to the palace and became the companion of the five princes, that is, the current emperor. Now he is relying on the power of his family and has come to the border to be the general general. The appearance is prominent...... "He stopped, turned Shen Qiyu's head over, and looked at each other, "Inside, I don't have to worry about eating and drinking." He changed his sad face just now and burst into a smile, but Shen Qiyu was so frightened that he wanted to tilt his head back, but his head was pressed and he couldn't move.

Shen Qiyu's heart beat faster by his laughter, he unnaturally took his hand off his head, stood up, and patted the ash behind him: "It's cold on the ground, hehe." ”

Shen Zeyun stretched out a hand: "Pull me up." ”

"Get up on your own. ”

"I've been lying down for a long time, and my legs are a little numb. Pull me along. ”

Shen Qiyu didn't want to entangle with him anymore, so he stretched out his hand and held it tightly with his hanging hand. Before he could exert himself, he was planted.

"Hey, what are you doing!" Shen Qiyu suddenly fell on the body of the person on the ground, hitting him painfully.

Shen Zeyun didn't speak, his expression seemed to be a little painful. He pressed down on the person who was struggling to get up, and after a while, he spoke: "Wait a minute, I'll slow down for a while, it hurts a little." ”

"Well deserved. He pressed against his chest, feeling the vibration coming from his chest as he spoke, crispy and numb, "It's time to go back." ”

"With the earth as the bed and the sky as the cover, you and I will rest here tonight. ”

Shen Qiyu bulleted, and he couldn't even hold down his hands. "It's cold, and it's not good to catch a cold. ”

Shen Zeyun stood up with a smile: "Are you afraid of me? ”

"Take your time, take your time. As he spoke, he was about to go down the slope.

"I was born as an abandoned son of my father," Shen Zeyun said loudly behind him, seeing the person who stopped, "It's really a negative man." ”

"Go back early. As he spoke, he raised his leg and continued walking.

"I hope you don't lie to me. He shouted, repeating, "Don't lie to me, I want to gamble with my heart." He caught up with Shen Qiyu: "Maybe it's crazy, and the people of the enemy country, but so what, I'm only for myself." ”

Shen Qiyu smiled bitterly in his heart: "But I'm not just for myself. But he didn't speak, he turned around and hugged the man who was a head taller than him.

Shen Zeyun obviously couldn't believe it, his body shook a little, hugged him hard, and said to himself: "I have two elder brothers, the eldest brother's name is Zeke, and the second brother's name is OK, two good names, I can see that my father has great hopes for them." The day I was born was said to be a sunny day with a strong wind. As soon as the wind blew, the clouds dispersed. Scatter and disperse. Can you imagine, this is the words of a father. ”

His voice was calm, with no emotional ups and downs, as if he was talking about someone else's business.

The two of them kept holding each other and talking, Shen Qiyu reacted from the impulse, his face was already burning red, he let go of the hand holding Shen Zeyun, but felt that the other party hugged him tighter.

"In June of the year I was born, the fifth prince was born. At that time, my father was not the prime minister, and the relationship with the first emperor was not very good, in short, the first emperor was a little jealous of my father, and always wanted to find something to contain him. One can imagine what a justifiable reason I and the Five Princes were. The first emperor was a benevolent person, so he couldn't imagine how ruthless Shen Yi was. In the face of power and wealth, a son is not too important, not to mention that he already has two promising sons. ”

He sneered and let go of Shen Qiyu, which made him a little panicked. Unexpectedly, he let go just to change his posture and encircle the whole person in his arms: "It's a little cold, it's better like this." ”

"I was destined to be extraordinary. The proton of the first emperor, the thorn in the side of the new emperor, and the balance between the two generations of emperors and courtiers are all maintained by me. How many people in the world can do this? ”

"You have something to be proud of, and that's not a good thing. ”

"For as long as I can remember, I spent it in the palace. Study with the five princes and practice martial arts. He doesn't work as hard as me, he is not smarter than me, and he is much inferior to me in civil and military affairs, but he likes to compare with me. Once, when my master finished correcting our essay, my mother came to see me in the palace. I showed it to her with joy, but not only did she not praise me, but she looked at me fiercely, and reprimanded me in private, saying that I should not fight for the prince. She was not at all proud of this son, but worried that this son who was too good would bring disaster to them, and I was much younger than you are now. Obviously they pushed me out. ”

Shen Qiyu struggled out of his arms and patted his hand as a sign of comfort.

"When I was older, I understood. Slowly, I didn't perform so well, I answered a mess during the exam, and I made a mess when I practiced martial arts. Obviously, this is the last thing other children's parents want to see, but when I am like this, no one targets me anymore, and life doesn't seem to be so difficult. But my talent can't be wasted, I still practice writing and practicing swords, and I think that I have learned not badly, but I have learned to restrain my edge. There was some rejoicing in his tone, "It's good that I was already sensible at that time, otherwise I might really be a gentleman now." I don't really understand the specific situation in the border, and I don't understand the situation in the DPRK and China. Maybe dying on the battlefield that day would have fulfilled their wish. ”

He lowered his head, looked at Shen Qiyu and said, "That's about it, I'll tell you something in the future." It's a long time coming. So what about you, who are you, what kind of person are you?"

"I'm not a royal person. Shen Qiyu stared at those shining eyes, and for a moment he was confused, raised his head, hooked Shen Zeyun's neck, and kissed him on the face. The kiss was so hard that it was stained with the saliva on his face, shining in the moonlight.

Before Shen Qiyu could retreat, he was forcibly pulled by someone, and a handsome face was enlarged in front of his eyes, and a soft and warm touch came from his lips. His eyes widened, looking at Shen Zeyun's eyelids trembling slightly, his thick eyelashes playfully up, and thinking to himself, "It's over." ”
