After the hunt in Xishan, Yue Xingchuan gained more control over himself. He tried to change and restrain those bad thoughts and ideas.
A year ago, he would have never had the patience to take his time with Jing Heguang, and it would not be difficult for him to forcefully take control. Yue Xingchuan frankly admitted that he was not a good person. He knew when he was a teenager — he was a pervert.
In the process of restraining himself, there are uncomfortable moments, but there are also moments of relief after enduring the pain.
It was those successful restraints that made Yue Xingchuan believe that he was getting better.
For example, his mood has been very stable recently and his temper has improved a lot. Even if he is depressed or irritable, it only lasts for a short time.
He didn’t even want to look at the treasury, but it could actually make his heart surge, that depression feeling surged into his chest again.
Yue Xingchuan glanced greedily at Jing Heguang, whose smile was as dazzling as the sun even in the dark night, and ordered: “Go fetch a few jars of good wine.”
After hearing the general say that they could drink, the soldiers happily went to open the wine cellar, and carried out one jar of good wine after another. This wine is the tribute wine of the palace, so ordinary people wouldn’t have a chance to drink it!
Two lambs were roasted for supper, and the aroma of grease wafted out, which was quite appetizing.
After fishing out a few jars of wine, everyone sat under the moonlight, chatting and reminiscing.
A group of men drank freely, and Jing Heguang was also made to drink a little. Unexpectedly, his alcohol tolerance is lower than he thought. After two bowls, he began to sway.
Jing Heguang hiccuped and said vaguely: “Hiccup~, three bowls are not enough.”
Yue Xingchuan supported him who was unsteady and said, “You are drunk, let’s go back?”
Jing Heguang was dizzy, so he knew that he drunk. He nodded and followed Yue Xingchuan back to his room.
What happened next, Jing Heguang only remembered that Xingchuan helped him take a bath this time.
After taking a bath, he went a little crazy, and Yue Xingchuan was also very indulgent. The two of them were like fish craving for air, and the other was the last breath of air, entwined tightly with each other.
He doesn’t know when they fell asleep, but before Jing Heguang fell asleep, there was still the smell of wine and meat coming from outside.
***
When Jing Heguang woke up again, he was woken up by Yue Xingchuan in the middle of the night.
Yue Xingchuan seemed to be having a nightmare, muttering something in his mouth, and suddenly shouted ‘kill’, which woke up Jing Heguang.
Not only Jing Heguang were awakened, but also Li Da who came to guard outside the door. However, when he heard Jing Heguang moving and making unconscious smacking sounds, Li Da didn’t enter the room.
Jing Heguang moved and turned around.
Yue Xingchuan likes to sleep outside, while Jing Heguang sleeps inside, so it’s not easy to go down and light a lamp. He sat up and looked at Yue Xingchuan through the moonlight shining into the room through the window.
He could see a thin layer of sweat on Yue Xingchuan’s forehead, his normally raised eyebrows knitted together. His brows were full of uneasiness, and his lips were moving.
Jing Heguang immediately sobered up from the wine. He reached out and wiped Yue Xingchuan’s forehead with his sleeve, then shook Yue Xingchuan’s shoulder: “AXing, wake up!”
Jing Heguang felt that Yue Xingchuan was having a nightmare.
However, after shaking him twice, Yue Xingchuan still didn’t wake up, and his whole body even tensed up. He shouted ‘kill’ again, with killing intent almost bursting out from his face!
Jing Heguang looked at him like this, and suddenly remembered the hunt in Xishan, when Yue Xingchuan single-handedly took care of dozens of assassins with a long broadsword. That time, many people were frightened by Yue Xingchuan.
Last time, he sat behind him on the horse, so he didn’t see Yue Xingchuan’s face. Looking at this, Yue Xingchuan is really – ‘so fierce’!
Of course, Jing Heguang is not afraid. He also thought about the night before yesterday, the first night he and Yue Xingchuan slept together. Yue Xingchuan also looked alert after he woke him up.
Did Yue Xingchuan returned to the capital, but half of his heart is still on the battlefield?
Jing Heguang didn’t read any psychological books in the modern era, but he knew that this was not good. It was like some actors who were too involved in acting and couldn’t get out of it, which could harm them physically and psychologically.
Jing Heguang thought, lowered his head and kissed Yue Xingchuan.
“Shout one more time and I’ll kiss you again.”
Jing Heguang counted seven or eight kisses before he woke up from the kiss.
Yue Xingchuan was already tense, but when he woke up and smelled Jing Heguang’s familiar scent, he didn’t push him out.
Yue Xingchuan was not happy to see Jing Heguang kissing him.
He remembered what he was dreaming about just now, and what he said in his sleep…
Yue Xingchuan’s brows that had just been loosened when he awake suddenly tightened again.
Jing Heguang lay down and reached out to cuddle Yue Xingchuan, and asked him to turn around to face him.
Yue Xingchuan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but his mouth was so dry that not a single word came out.
He looked at Jing Heguang, his eyes a little confused and a little panic – would Jing Heguang be afraid of him too?
Jing Heguang looked at him and asked as gently as possible: “AXing, after you returned to the capital, did you always dream about the battlefield?”
When Yue Xingchuan heard this question, he suddenly clenched his hands tightly.
Then he stretched out his hand and hugged Jing Heguang’s waist tightly.
After avoiding Jing Heguang’s direct gaze, Yue Xingchuan whispered ‘Mm’, straightened his back and admitted.
Yue Xingchuan felt that he was just like that time. After finishing all the assassins seemingly invincibly, he was too cowardly to look at Jing Heguang’s face.
Last time, Jing Heguang was behind him on Wu Yun, and could not see his face. This time Jing Heguang was by his side when he dreamed, surely his ugliness, loss of control, and indifference….he saw it all clearly!
Thinking of this, Yue Xingchuan’s breath became unsteady and his breathing became more heated.
Seeing him like this, Jing Heguang was afraid that it might really be as he had guess, Yue Xingchuan had a small psychological problem — he had to help him solve it!
Jing Heguang let Yue Xingchuan stick to him and patted his back gently.
With this patted, he realized that Yue Xingchuan’s entire body was tense.
Jing Heguang thought for a moment, then raised his hand and gently patted Yue Xingchuan’s buttock, then rubbed it twice.
“Don’t tense up, don’t you feel uncomfortable?”
The heat in Yue Xingchuan’s heart turned into heat on his face — Jing Heguang actually hit his butt!
Seeing that he was no longer so tense, Jing Heguang memorized this excellent distraction trick, and then said:
“I’ve never fought in a war, so what I said may not be right. Just listen to it.”
“You must have a lot of regrets, whether it is a battle, or a soldier or a general under your command. However, those are unavoidable. That’s the way war is, to protect there will surely be sacrifice. I wish there was no more war, that everyone knew as little about it as I do. However, it’s not like that a lot of the time.”
“But surely when you are fighting, you must have thought of this — behind you were people alive and living well, so what you do is meaningful.”
“You are, now, one those whom you once expected to be. You should think back on how you wanted the people behind you to live. It’s definitely not like you are now, right?”
“As for killing, killing also depends on the situation.The knife in the executioner’s hand may kill thousands of people, but it’s also a knife of justice.”
“The knife, broadswords, stick, staff, and your heaven halberd in your hand! Every time they went out to fight, they were just. You must believe this. You have not killed innocent people, you don’t need to feel guilty, you just need to live well, and you’ll be worthy of every brother you have ever crossed horses with.”
Jing Heguang said a lot more than Yue Xingchuan thought…Jing Heguang must have discovered that he was hiding something.
However, Jing Heguang just forgives him gently, telling him sentence by sentence that — lifting the sword is not a sin.
Yue Xingchuan once thought that he didn’t care about others’ eyes, just like he didn’t care about those people being afraid of him.
But now he suddenly understood that it wasn’t that he didn’t care, he was just letting himself not care.
Deep down in his heart, he was also frightened by himself, afraid that he might harm innocent people, therefore he was cautious and no longer went into battle to kill the enemy himself.
Even when he himself couldn’t trust himself, there were people who still did.
Among those people were his brother Li Da and co., his family, and even his lover. Even in those fearful gazes, there will be gratitude and recognition.
Jing Heguang’s gentle but powerful voice sounded again: “Say something, AXing. If you don’t speak, I don’t know what you are thinking.”
Yue Xingchuan took a breath and said in a low voice: “You just slapped my ass.”
Jing Heguang: “Huh?”
You won’t settle the accounts now, do you?! Jing Heguang obediently took back his dishonest hand.
He didn’t expect to meet Yue Xingchuan’s lips, filled with eager and desire.
Yue Xingchuan kissed Jing Heguang vigorously, his eyes filled with sober indulgence. When their lips and teeth intertwined, he gasped and said: “I want you.”
How could Jing Heguang resist this kind of temptation? They immediately lost themselves in the heat of the moment.
Thus, in the dead of night, there was a lot of commotion in the room again.
Outside the door, Li Da squatted aside, rubbing his eyes, cursing in his mind: The wind was too strong tonight, so it blinded Li Da’s eyes!
But when he heard the movement inside, his hand suddenly stopped rubbing.
Li Da ran away silently, sitting on the steps far away with the breeze. His tears are worthless.
***
After a few days.
Jing Zhonghao didn’t dare to delay and obediently came over to sign the divorce paper with Zhao Baozhi. As for Zhao Baozhi’s imperial edict of Jing Heguang being the shizi, Jing Zhonghao didn’t dare to mention it.
The emperor’s partiality is too obvious, Jing Zhonghao will be a fool if he dares to speak again!
However, Jing Zhonghao was still very dissatisfied. When signing, his eyes glare hatefully at Zhao Baozhi.
Jing Zhonghao said angrily: “What a good person, you have taught him to be so shameless! Just wait and see how his love will be when he age and loses his luster.”
Zhao Baozhi snorted coldly and snatched the signed paper from him and said: “Get out of here after you sign. No matter how bad my son is, he is still much better than you. He is the number one scholar, and you are just a straw bag who relies on your ancestors to make a living, so you’re not qualified to dislike my son.”
“Besides, even if my son ages, he will still be a good-looking old man! Not like you, look at your belly, how many months have it been?” Zhao Baozhi thought of the last time when she got so angry that she lost her fake bun and Jing Zhonghao asked her to pay attention to her image.
Jing Zhonghao was so angry that his stomach was shaking. Just when he was about to scold her again, he saw Jing Heguang walking over with Yue Xingchuan in hand ‘shamelessly’.
Yue Xingchuan glanced at Jing Zhonghao, his two sides suddenly trembled. He snorted coldly, turned around and left.
After being set up by King Chen, Jing Zhonghao naturally had to inquire about it.
He found out that although King Chen was brave and good at fighting, he was violent in nature, killing people like hemp and cutting people like melons. He…couldn’t afford to offend him.
***
One month later, the wedding day.
Long strips of red silk were spread all over the main streets of the capital, and all the shops were hung with red lanterns for the New Year. The whole city was filled with festivities.
The common people ran out early to wait for the wedding procession to pass through the main street.
Although they’re a little scared, the people were still very grateful to King Chen who had made great achievements in the war. The merchants on both sides of the street prepared a lot of flowers and fragrant handkerchiefs, ready to…throw them to King Chen’s marriage partner – Jing Shizi!
Jing Heguang will set off from his mother’s small courtyard, and Yue Xingchuan set off from King Chen’s Mansion. The two met first, then walked through the main street, and then went to the palace to hold a grand ceremony.
Zhao Baozhi had been taken to the palace the day before, so now Jing Heguang was relying on the momo from the palace to give them instruction.
AFu also wore a red coat, and his round face was smeared red by the Xi Niang1Someone who assists with the wedding, takes care of the groom and bride, different from the matchmaker and the groomsmen and bridesmaid.
When Jing Heguang saw his appearance, he laughed out loud: “Why did your face look like this?”
AFu said: “The Xi Niang said it was festive! Lord shizi, please don’t move, the red flower can’t be crooked.”
AFu said as he adjusted the red flowers on Jing Heguang’s chest.
After finishing it, AFu took a step back, looked at his lord shizi and sighed with emotion: Time passed so fast, and in the blink of an eye, his shizi was about to get married!
Wait! It didn’t seem like it was going by fast.
It was because his family’s lord shizi and the prince moved too quickly, they kissed each other in one moment, slept together the next moment, and immediately agreed on the wedding date after they slept, therefore it just seemed that they got married in the blink of an eye!
AFu calmed down his emotion and stood on tiptoe to look at the makeup on Jing Heguang’s face.
His family’s shizi never puts on any makeup. He is naturally good-looking, however, getting married is a great event, so one has to pay some attention to it.
After taking a closer look, AFu said with a silly smile: “lord shizi! You are so good-looking, you must be the most beautiful groom in the entire capital!”
Jing Heguang put on some moist red lipstick but it didn’t make him look feminine. It only makes him more eye-catching, and neutralizes his cold face. People can tell at a glance that there is a happy event in his family today.
Jing Heguang looked at the big red flower on his chest, looked at the sky anxiously, and then looked at the shadow on the ground.
“It’s still not time yet?” Jing Heguang asked a little anxiously.
Just as he was talking, The Xi Niang came over to urge Jing Heguang to mount his horse.
Jing Heguang hugged the flowers and ran towards his DaBai.
DaBai is the new white horse, and it is said that he and WuYun are brothers. Compared with XiaoBai, he is taller and more upright, it’s size is the same as WuYun. He was specially sent from the northern border.
When Jing Heguang rode the horse out, the neighbor’s children were lying on the wall, shouting with a smile: “Groom! Groom!”
Jing Heguang smiled at them, then pulled the reins, and rushed out on the tall white horse.
“Jing Shizi, please slow down!” The Xi Niang shouted hurriedly, “You can’t go too fast, you and his highness will meet each other later!”
Only then did Jing Heguang realized that he was impatient, and silently tugged on the reins. Waiting for the Xi Niang and the team.
On the other side, Yue Xingchuan, who rushed out, was also stopped by the Xi Niang.
Yue Xingchuan tugged at the flower on his chest and said, “Someone lead the horse.”
To let him ride by himself, he couldn’t guarantee that he wouldn’t rush out later.
Li Da laughed and squeezed past two people to get the job of leading the horse.
The two teams started from two places and walked towards the same street intersection.
After they met, the two teams merged into one team, and the two groom officially met at the intersection.
Li Da stretched out his hand and pulled Jing Heguang’s horse too. The reins are also red today, as if Li Da has pulled a red thread between the two.
Li Da thought happily: holding the red thread today, I’m not that difffernt from Yue Lao!
Jing Heguang looked at Yue Xingchuan with a smile and saw that Yue Xingchuan also had some lipstick on his lips.
As soon as Yue Xingchuan saw Jing Heguang, he couldn’t look away.
Jing Heguang was already beautiful, but he looked even better today!
He was Smiling clearly, not cold and reserved, but for some reason Yue Xingchuan felt that Jing Heguang was teasing him.
The two looked at each other, and the horse was led by Li Da. Fortunately, WuYun and DaBai were smart and knew to keep up, otherwise Li Da would be anxious to death.
The Xi Niang on both sides found it amusing and secretly covered their mouths and laughed. They rarely arrange marriages between two men, so they have never seen two grooms who were so silly together.
After exiting this street, they will see the lively main street.
Both sides of the main street were lined with civilians blocked by the army. There are too many people, so if they don’t bring out the troops, they’re afraid accidents may happen and they may not be able to control the situation.
These troops are all Yue Cingchuan’s subordinates. They are all very happy to be able to do something for the general. Their armors are all so polished that it can reflect light in the sun.
Jing Heguang felt like he had returned to the day when the army returned to the city, his ears were filled with noisy voices. Only this time, he was not a spectator, but one of the two people there.
The people along the street looked at the two grooms on horseback and the reflective armor and sharp blades. They didn’t dare to be presumptuous and just talked happily beside them.
“I heard that King Chen and Jing shzi are bamboo horses, and they grew up together!”
“The horse is so tall, even taller than me!”
“One rides a white horse, and the other rides a black horse. They looks like a great match!”
Halfway down the street, Jing Heguang and Yue Xingchuan’s eyes met again, like inseparable pieces of sticky candy.
However, an accident also happened at this moment.
A person suddenly appeared on the rooftop in the distance and cursed loudly: “Yue Xingchuan has no virtue! Killing surrendered soldiers! You have all been deceived by this god of death. Be careful that he will go crazy and kills you all!”
All the troops who had separated into two lines froze in their tracks.
Some people cursed: “Fart! Our general has never killed any surrendered soldiers!”
Others cursed: “So what if I kill you!”
Some even picked up their bows and arrows and shot at the man.
However, the man was covered up tightly, with only half of his face exposed. He was standing far away, beyond the range of a lunge, let alone an upward shot.
Besides, who knows what kind of armor he was wearing. Several arrows shot by several good soldiers reached him, but it did not hurt this man!
The people who had been on the battlefield are different from the common people who were just joining in the fun. Someone suddenly appeared and said that King Chen killed surrendered soldiers, these people didn’t have time to react.
Even the wedding procession dressed in red was shocked for a moment, and the procession was a little disorganized.
Yue Xingchuan had excellent eyesight and recognized that the weapon held by this man was the style of an old enemy.
Yue Xingchuan rode two steps to the side and took the bow and arrow from a soldier.
The soldier’s eyes widened and he saw Yue Xingchuan raise his hand, and an arrow flew out like a meteor!
This arrow was mixed with other people’s arrows, and it pierced the man’s eyebrow. Just like when Yue Xingchuan broadsword killed the assassins previously, he was accurate and ruthless.
Accompanying the man’s fallen figure were Jing Heguang’s voice: “Be on guard, beware of cold arrows!”
It wasn’t as simple as just the man shouting. If it was to hurt someone, he shouldn’t have been waiting to die like a target just now!
Jing Heguang felt something was wrong, so regardless of whether his guess was correct or not, he warned first.
Almost as soon as his voice fell, arrows with hooks were shot out from several places.
Some people in the crowd rioted and stabbed people with knives.
In the blink of an eye, the festive red color was a little fishy.
In the darkness, a bearded man looked at the dazzling blood and the fallen tribesmen, his eyes were red, and his breathing became rapid.
Yue Xingchuan held a bow and arrow, one arrow releasing at a time as his killing intent spread around him.
The army dealt with nearby riots very quickly, killing all the rioters in a matter of seconds.
The last person fell, and the bearded man looked at Yue Xingchuan who had put down his bow and arrow, with shock in his eyes: “Why did you stop…why did you stop!”
Everything today was just a game. The intention was not to hurt anyone, but to cause Yue Xingchuan to massacre again. A general who slaughters wantonly, no matter how strong he is, is not fit to be on the battlefield.
On the battlefield where the deserters were massacred by Yue Xingchuan, there was a spy who survived, and it was this big man.
Yue Xingchuan has not fought in person for a year, so he has been noticed by interested people. Thus, there was the assassination in Xishan Hunting, and what happened today.
However, this big man never thought that Yue Xingchuan could escape the incurable secret illness in his clan twice. It’s even worse today, Yue Xingchuan didn’t even lose control…
The big man was regretting unwillingly, when a cold arrow came and pierced his eyebrows.
Today, Yue Xingchuan didn’t get out of control. He still retains his keen perception that is beyond ordinary people. There is no spy who can slip through the net again!
Li Da had already let go of his red reins and ran to pick up the big man.
After seeing the big man’s head clearly, Li Da said: “General, it’s the little lord of the sly soldiers, who is very difficult to deal with, from the foreign race! He actually came to the capital to give away his head!”
Jing Heguang had also heard of this man’s name. However, hearing the word ‘sly soldiers’, one knows he is not an easy person to deal with.
If he was allowed to develop unchecked, he may become a serious problem for the Yue Dynasty in the future! As a result, he was solved by Yue Xingchuan with one arrow!
Jing Heguang looked at Yue Xingchuan with unconcealed admiration on his face.
He shouted excitedly: “AXing, you are so amazing!”
Just now, Yue Xingchuan held his breath slightly to slow down his heartbeat just for accuracy.
But when he heard Jing Heguang praise him so loudly, his heart began to beat happily.
Yue Xingchuan breathed out, handed the bow and arrow back to the soldier, smiled and rode close to Jing Heguang and said: “You have half of the credit!”
The people in the crowd also learned at this moment that the Little lord of the foreign race was killed by their prince!
The panicked people suddenly stopped panicking and looked at Yue Xingchuan with admiration.
The injured people were carried down and treated by the nearest medical center. For many injuries, timely treatment can save lives, but there are not enough medical resources on the battlefield.
The solders on both sides re-formed into two lines to stop the increasingly agitated people.
Flowers and scented handkerchiefs were thrown out without distinction.
Li Da was still holding the dead man’s head, regretting that his hands were covered in blood and could not follow them.
He thought for a moment and simply shouted:
“Congratulations to the General and Lord Shizi on your great joy!”
Li Da yelled with all his strength, and his voice shocked Jing Heguang duo.
But then, overlapping sounds sounded.
“Congratulations to the General and Lord Shizi on your great joy!”
“Congratulations to the General and Lord Shizi on your great joy!”
In the end, it evolved into two overwhelming words – “Great Joy!”
The two words ‘great joy’ hovered over the capital.
Jing Heguang touched his ears and thought that he could only listen.
He looked at Yue Xingchuan with a smile, feeling very proud in his heart.
But then he happened to pass by a bunch of little girls, who threw flowers and scented handkerchiefs at Jing Heguang.
A good-looking person never knows how many people like his…face.
Yue Xingchuan glanced at him for a few times, not knowing how he did it. He leaned forward and sat in front of Jing Heguang, blocking most of Jing Heguang’s face.
After Yue Xingchuan finished doing this, he glanced at the group of young girls, turned back to Jing Heguang and said, “It’s too dangerous. Let’s ride a horse and I’ll protect you.”
Jing Heguang kissed his face naturally.
On the roadside, everyone was stunned.
The way King Chen moves into Jing Shizi’s arms is too skillful for his wife!
These two people even kissed in public!!
Among the little girls on the roadside, one was shivering cleverly.
“Why do I feel…King Chen was looking at me just now.”
Her little sister replied: “What are you daydreaming about? You are not as good-looking as Jing shizi, nor as talented as Jing shizi!”
“Let me put it bluntly, King Chen glared at us! Because we throw flowers to Jing Shizi!”
The author has something to say: This story is finally finished, with an extra to give out sweets!
