Chapter 96
Li Jinglong stared at Hongjun in a daze, and the snowflakes were flying. Xiao Hongjun was wearing a single shirt and looked at him quietly, with doubts in his eyes.
"Quickly go back." Li Jinglong stepped forward and pulled, "Don't catch a cold."
"Who's here?" Xiao Hongjun asked.
"My father." Li Jinglong replied after judging the situation of the night in a short time.
Before the Li family and Kong family celebrated the New Year together, it was reasonable to drink wine with Father Li and Kong Xuan. Xiao Hongjun no longer doubted it. There were many children outside who were watching the new year.
"Go back to sleep." Li Jinglong hugged Hongjun and sent him to the room. Xiao Hongjun struggled and said, "I can't sleep!"
Li Jinglong listened to the sound of firecrackers from a distance and said, "Hush, the Nian Beast is coming."
"I haven't seen it yet, what exactly does the Nian Beast look like?"
Li Jinglong thought on a whim and said, "Go, I'll take you outside to play."
Li Jinglong first took Xiao Hongjun back to his home. His father had fallen asleep. Li Jinglong found out the clothes two years ago for Hongjun to change, led him out, and went to the horse guard, stole the horse and turned over. Drag Hongjun up again.
"I haven't ridden a horse yet!"
Hongjun hugged Li Jinglong behind him, and Li Jinglong smiled and said, "I haven't been studying for long!"
Hongjun: "..."
Li Jinglong took him to Ximing Temple and opened the door. The monks in the temple were preparing to celebrate the New Year and welcome the people of Chang'an who came to worship. They sneaked into the backyard and reached a wooden ladder. The monks used to hang the golden banners for blessing. Before they were removed for a while, Li Jinglong and Xiao Hongjun climbed to the top of the temple and looked east. Chang'an, who watched the year in the dark, was still lighting up the lights.
"Look." Li Jinglong, as a teenager, pointed to Chang'an City.
"Wow." Xiao Hongjun was sitting on the golden banner on the roof. Li Jinglong took advantage of his carelessness and kissed his side lightly.
Hongjun: "..."
At this time, Hongjun thought that the nine-year-old Li Jinglong in front of him was still the Li Jinglong he was back then. He couldn't hold it back for a while, moved up and kissed his lips.
Li Jinglong's face flushed immediately, and Xiao Hongjun parted his lips with a smile.
"I'm moving soon." Xiao Hongjun said seriously, "Do you believe we will meet again in the future?"
"Yes." Li Jinglong answered almost without hesitation, "I am waiting for you, I know you will return to Chang'an."
Xiao Hongjun was stunned, he looked at Li Jinglong in a daze.
"Maybe I won't come back again." Hongjun's heart was ups and downs, and he said suddenly, "That monster will eat me one day, and then..."
Li Jinglong: "No."
"...This is my life." Hongjun hugged his knees and looked at Chang'an in a daze. Jinglong, promise me that if I become a demon..."
"I said, no." Li Jinglong said seriously, Hongjun was taken aback and turned to look at Li Jinglong.
"Don't be afraid, no matter when or where, I won't let the monsters come out. Wait for me, Hongjun, I will learn spells, one day..."
When Hongjun heard Li Jinglong say "Hongjun", he suddenly realized something-how did he know my name is Hongjun? At this moment, nine-year-old Li Jinglong pressed his seven-year-old Hongjun's shoulders and kissed him.
Hongjun's dreams were turbulent rapidly. As a gust of wind passed by, the sky and the earth expanded to infinity with a "swish". The bodies of Hongjun and Li Jinglong couldn't help growing.
Hongjun opened his eyes and woke up in Li Jinglong's arms. Li Jinglong frowned and looked down at Hongjun.
In Lanling Amber, at the moment when he woke up from his dream, Hongjun found that he had changed people around him, and he subconsciously leaned back and looked at Li Jinglong in surprise.
Li Jinglong looked at that surprised gaze and muttered: "I...we knew each other before? Hongjun, what happened, I...I forgot you?"
Hongjun shook his head slowly, without saying anything, Li Jinglong said, "Is that your past? Hongjun! Tell me!"
Hongjun pushed Li Jinglong away, and Li Jinglong said urgently: "Hongjun!"
Outside Lanling Amber, the fragrance of magnolia blossoms in the breeze on the early summer night.
Lu Xu's various tastes rushed to his heart together, and along the second floor of the restaurant, he went out to the terrace. The West Market was closed, and there was a sound of evening drums. Morigen was squatting on the terrace like a wolf looking at the sunset.
He heard the footsteps and didn't need to ask, knowing that it was Lu Xu.
"Did you help Hongjun fall into a dream?" asked Morigen, "just about to wake you up."
Lu Xu said "Um". Since the quarrel that day, he has rarely spoken to Morigen, and immediately came to the front of the fence, half lying on the fence, and looked into the distance with Morigen.
"What did you see?" Morigen asked again.
Lu Xu replied, "What does it matter to you?"
"Just treat him as my brother." Morigen said to himself.
Lu Xu wanted to laugh at Mo Rigen for a few words, but he dispelled the idea, was silent for a long time, and finally replied: "I saw a child who was very lonely when I was a child..." Lu Xu said in a daze, and looked at the city under the sunset. Ji, then intently stared at Morigen's figure squatting on the eaves.
When he saw Hongjun and Li Jinglong when he was a child, he suddenly felt a different feeling in his heart. He was half envious and half melancholy. He used to be more lonely than Hongjun. When he first grew up, he was sent to Shazhou County. Give it to the guard... At that time, he was just a shameless fool, he was teased and bullied everywhere.
"How did you live when you were a kid?" Morigen suddenly asked Lu Xu when he was talking about Hongjun's childhood.
Lu Xu didn't answer, but he remembered the scene of Morigen's palm shining lightly under Guancheng in the snowy night.
"Hey, idiot, where do you want to go?"
"This fool can't do anything else, he runs very fast."
"Have you ever thought about where you are going?"
In his confused world, the world is only white, and he always runs in this white, the world has no end, nor can he reach the end.
But he was still running, as if there was someone waiting for him in this boundless world. Since he didn't come, why don't he go by himself? But he ran all over Hexi, but he never stopped why, let alone what he was looking for?
Morigen tilted his head and suddenly said to Lu Xu, "I'm sorry, Lu Xu."
Lu Xu frowned, then raised his eyebrows again, indicating that he had something to say.
"I didn't think about it before." Morigen said, "I...not like Changshi, I thought I...but I... actually blame me, don't be angry..."
Lu Xu: "???"
Morigen thought about it, and then said, "I thought Chang Lang Bailu, they are all...but..."
"Speak up if you have something to say." Lu Xu said impatiently.
Morigen thought for a moment, before turning around, turning his back to Lu Xu, and said, "Hongjun is right, he can't be regarded as...then, be a brother."
"I was a good brother with him." Lu Xu said, "You think too much, stupid wolf!"
Morigen turned sideways, drew his fingers, and said awkwardly: "I mean... you and me."
Lu Xu: "..."
Morigen saw that Lu Xu was silent, and hurriedly explained: "I thought Chang Lang Bailu should be a husband and wife, so...just...Don't blame me for taking the liberty..." He dared not look directly into Lu Xu's eyes. Turning his head again, he said to himself: "It's all my fault..."
"That's natural." Lu Xu said, "I never liked you."
When Morigen heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, Lu Xu, I don't have any wrong thoughts about you."
Lu Xu mocked: "It's simply inexplicable."
Morigen scratched his head, and when he wanted to say something, Lu Xu turned and left. Mo Rigen was taken aback, turned his head and looked, trying to chase Lu Xu. Lu Xu's figure had disappeared in front of the stairs. However, at this moment, Mo Rigen felt melancholy and guilt for no reason, as if he had hurt Lu Xu.
There was a conversation from downstairs, Mu Drum had ceased, and Hongjun left the restaurant first.
"Don't ask." Hongjun said, "I won't tell you!"
Li Jinglong followed, but Lu Xu came down with a gust of wind and asked, "Are you gone?"
Lu Xu took Hongjunâs luggage and threw it at him. Hongjun took it and put it on the saddle. Li Jinglong looked around and said to Lu Xu, âYou donât need to inform them, we will be out of town now.â
"Be careful." Lu Xuchao Hongjun said.
Hongjun nodded and turned on his horse. Morigen stood at the eaves of the second floor and whistled down. Li Jinglong said, "Changan will be handed over to you, Yu!"
With a flick of Morigen's sword finger, Hongjun was ahead and Li Jinglong followed.
The carp demon ran out, holding a spatula in his hand, and shouted, "You haven't eaten dinner yet!"
"You are always like this." Li Jinglong rode a horse to chase behind and shouted, "Can you stop running?"
Hongjun slowed down, turned to look at Li Jinglong, and said, "You promise me not to ask, I won't run."
Li Jinglong gave way: "Okay, I won't ask, unless you tell me, I won't ask a single sentence."
Hongjun slowed down. At this moment, Chang'an has begun a curfew, and the whole city is under martial law, but there is no wanted order for Li Jinglong. Perhaps with Yang Guozhongâs persuasion, Li Longji still kept his hand. Once Li Jinglongâs crime of deceiving the emperor is cured, he can no longer Change your mouth.
Li Jinglong walked to the east city, showed his waist card, and made the garrison sneezed with Lihun Pollen, then opened the door and went out of the city with Hongjun. When he reached the wilderness, Fang gradually slowed down, with Hongjun in front and Li Jinglong in the back. The two riders walked one after the other.
Hongjun looked back at Li Jinglong from time to time, and couldn't help but think of the snowy night when he left Dunhuang.
When the moon was clear, the green waves rustled along the road, and Li Jinglong did not catch up after leaving the city. Hongjun stopped in front to wait for him, but Li Jinglong stopped.
"What's the matter with you?" Hongjun asked from a distance.
"What do you mean?" Li Jinglong said.
Hongjun stopped speaking and said, "Let's go."
Li Jinglong's eyes were full of anger. Hongjun knew that he was angry, but he still had his own persistence. I was afraid that if there were some things, letting Li Jinglong know it would only increase the trouble.
"I don't want to say that it is..."
"Stop talking." Li Jinglong replied, "I promised you not to ask."
"Then let's go." Hongjun turned his horse's head and said.
The two ran on horseback for a while. Hongjun was already a little sleepy. It was not easy to get caught when he went out of the city at night, but he still couldn't bear to go on the road overnight, and Li Jinglong did not keep pace with him.
"Let's find a place and take a rest." Hongjun said again, "I'm sleepy."
Li Jinglong still didn't speak, Hongjun said, "What do you think of the village in front?"
Hongjun looked at Li Jinglong pitifully, trying to apologize, but didn't know how to speak.
"You said, I won't tell you anything." Li Jinglong said, "Aren't you? Have you thought about my mood?"
Hongjun said, "That's different."
Li Jinglong: "Why is it different?"
Hongjun: "You said you won't ask again."
Li Jinglong: "I didn't ask, we are talking about another thing, right?"
The two looked at each other, Li Jinglong's brows were slightly twisted, as if he was still angry, Hongjun took his hand and said, "Don't be angry."
Hongjun doesn't coax people, and has always had to tell the truth. Li Jinglong said, "Then what are you going to do?"
Hongjun looked at him and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
Li Jinglong said: "When there is no one in a while, just make out with me."
Hongjun nodded and said, "Okay."
After burying his head and running for a while, Li Jinglong's distance got closer. Hongjun turned his head to look at him. Li Jinglong's expression was a little softer. Hongjun said, "There is no one here."
Li Jinglong replied: "Not in the wilderness."
A little further ahead, stopped in front of a village. There was a pier behind the village. When dawn was approaching, many people gathered on the pier.
"Why don't you ride a horse?" Hongjun said, "Isn't it faster to go out along Hangu Road?"
Li Jinglong said: "To Hangu Pass, there are An Lushan and Yang Guozhong's eyes and eyes everywhere in the post, which is easy to spot."
Li Jinglong signaled Hong Jun to wait first, and talked with the boss of the ship in front of the cargo ship. It was when the ships in Weishui and the Yellow River did not carry passengers, but only carried goods. Li Jinglong looked around, bought some things in his arms, brought some money, called Hongjun over, led the horse on the boat, let him not say more.
The boss of the ship got the money and took them to the stern, saying: "Our waterway is not faster than land, but it's also stable. The two officials will rest first. Whenever you want to do anything, you can order at any time. You two walk along the cabin. , The inside is."
It was the first time that Hongjun took a boat, and he was immediately full of curiosity. This ship carried a lot of cargo. It was changed from the dragon boat of Emperor Yang in the previous dynasty. After the Sui family changed hands, the Li family wanted to burn Emperor Yang for hundreds of boats. , Was blocked by Wei Zheng, and changed it into a cargo ship to transport materials. It was built with the power of craftsmen from all over the country, and it was made of top-quality wood. During the repair and repair, it has not been corrupted for more than a hundred years and can still travel in the Yellow River.
The big ship is divided into six floors up and down, full of food, wine, porcelain and other things that are not suitable for land bumps. The tail compartment has a spacious room, six windows on the wall, and a large couch against the wall. The inside and outside are separated by a screen. On the ground, there is a blanket on the outside, a table and an incense burner, presumably for the Korean Central Transport Supervisor to live on board the ship from time to time.
"This room is pretty..." Hongjun just entered, halfway through the conversation, and kissed by Li Jinglong's arms.
"Let me see first!" Hongjun said hurriedly. Li Jinglong let him go, Hongjun went to the couch and opened the windows one by one, only to see that the sky was bright and the goods were still being delivered. There are screens on the windows again, and when they are pulled down, the breeze is blowing.
Li Jinglong turned around and latched on the door. In addition to his outer robe, he unbuttoned his martial arts sleeves and got on the couch. He couldn't wait for a moment. He pressed Hongjun and said in a low voice: "Hurry, I want to die."
Hongjun: "..."
Li Jinglong hugged Hongjun and said, "I'm still angry, how are you going to coax me?"
Hongjun laughed, put one hand on Li Jinglong's side face, and took the initiative to kiss him. Li Jinglong's voice stopped abruptly, his eyes widened, and his nose suddenly rose. Hongjun kissed his lips intently. The action was very clumsy. Li Jinglong couldn't help but feel the blood rushing up, and he was dizzy. He bent down, pressed Hongjun on the couch, and kissed.
