Spring Breeze Crossing Guanshan

Chapter 38

Guan Junchen sat down heavily on the ground, all the past with Yan Chunxi flashed across his heart like a flash of light, those sweet, infatuated, and inextricably linked love slowly flowed over him like a tide, leaving him alone This lonely Chang'an.

13 years ago, Gusu Linfu.

The little guy carved with gold and jade fell into the snow, and when he raised his head, his pink face was covered with snow, and he complained coquettishly: "You... why don't you just stand there, don't you?" Know to help me?"

So he rolled up the little guy from the snowdrift with the thousands of soldiers who had killed countless enemies on his waist, and gently brought him in front of him.

Only this side, but I didn't expect it to be the fate of a lifetime.

A year ago, Jinling Palace.

The grown-up boy buried his head in his arms, bit his arm with his teeth, and confessed to him vaguely: "Brother Cheng, I have always had you in my heart. It has been 12 years... I have no parents, no relatives, you are the only thing I miss in this world. I have missed you for 12 years, you can’t just exchange it for five years.”

Chang'an Fengge.

Yan Chunxi was handcuffed on the rack, looking directly at the red iron hook. Although his face was covered with cold sweat, he said forcefully, "What I want has never been very little. When I was fifteen Without parents and relatives, all the remaining thoughts are just him... I want him to give me a lifetime, if I really don't have a life, I will be day and night; if there is no day and night, then I will perfect myself , even die without regret."

Because of him, that young man really narrowly escaped death, but now, he doesn't want to stay any longer.

Guan Junchen knew in his heart that he had asked Yan Chunxi to leave Chang'an several times before, but the young man never agreed for his own safety, but now he reluctantly left because he really didn't want to see him tied up and hurt himself.

His heart was in pain, Yan Chunxi was in adversity, but he still had the courage to break through.

Although he admires it, he also has a trace of resentment toward no one that he can express——

"You are so brave and fearless, but why don't you think about it. Although I am not old, I have already lost my ambition and become more and more depressed. How could you... just leave me here like this."

Guan Junchen thought about it, closed his eyes and wiped the corners of his eyes with his cuff in embarrassment.

He hasn't shed a tear since he was ten years old.He was good at martial arts when he was young, and he rode horses on the battlefield for many years and cultivated a firm mind. Although he experienced the death of his mother and the loss of his brother, although there were many hardships in this life, he never let him go. rout.

Only now, when the little boy left in front of him, did he feel his world spinning.

This whole world, in vain, seems to be gray, so that people can no longer be attached to it.

Guan Junchen closed his eyes this time, as if sitting quietly in dry meditation, and when he opened his eyes again, the sky was already dawning.

When he stood up again with a pale face, he suddenly thought of an important matter in his heart, so he hurried out the door, and happened to see the second butler Bai Suhan standing in the courtyard with a slender young man.

He didn't bother to ask Bai Suhan what happened, he didn't even see the boy's face clearly, so he hurriedly said: "Xi'er left the mansion overnight, you should go to the mansion and ask him to see which city gate he walked through ——He has no martial arts, and it's the first time he travels like this, I am worried, you hurry up and ride a fast horse, catch up with him and protect him along the way."

Bai Suhan was taken aback: "But there are many things on the prince's side..."

"It doesn't matter to me." Guan Junchen shook his head, and said in a hoarse voice: "From now on, the only thing that matters to you is to protect Yan Chunxi—don't say any more, go quickly."

"Yes, my lord, then I will leave now."

Seeing Guan Junchen's expression, Bai Suhan didn't dare to delay any longer, bowed and saluted before turning his head to leave.

Before he left, he glanced at the young man beside him, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Then, you can talk to the prince."

The voice has not finished yet, people have hurried out of the courtyard.

Guan Junchen didn't care about the young man standing on the side, but he was about to leave when he suddenly heard a timid voice: "My lord, Shuanglin, Shuanglin has something to report."

He turned his head, and then he saw the young man's face clearly under the gray light of the sky. He saw Shuanglin's blue eyes, and his nose was much taller than that of the people in the Central Plains. Under the snowy light, he had an exotic beauty. Then he thought Wake up, this is the beauty outside the pass presented to him by King Pingnan.

"What's the matter?" Guan Junchen couldn't help frowning and asked, who had no intention of chatting with him.

"I……"

Since Shuanglin entered the mansion, she was not favored very much. Although she came to Chang'an this time, she had never met Guan Junchen in private. At this time, she was so close to Guan Junchen, and seeing Guan Junchen's expression was unhappy, she couldn't help feeling nervous. He stuttered: "I got up early and went out to relax. I happened to walk to Mr. Cheng's Suyun Pavilion. The gate of that-that courtyard was ajar. I-I was curious...so I pushed the door and walked in."

"and then?"

Guan Junchen felt even more impatient when he heard him hemming and hawing for a long time and couldn't get to the point, so he urged.

"I went in and saw two snowmen cuddling together in the yard, they were quite intimate. I thought to myself, it's quite strange that the prince has been with Mr. Yan these days, and he didn't come to Mr. Cheng's yard, so I went Cautiously walked a few steps closer, and then heard the voice inside, the prince, Mr. Cheng, Mr. Cheng's room..."

When Shuanglin said this, he knelt down in fear, then lowered his head and continued: "My lord, Shuanglin doesn't dare to disturb the inside. Manager Wang is still in Mr. Cheng's room at the moment."

"Who do you think is in Cheng Yixuan's room?"

Guan Junchen was stunned, and repeated in a murmur: "Wang Jinzhi?"

As soon as these three words were spoken, Guan Junchen felt a "boom" in his head.

His face was as heavy as iron in an instant, and he said every word: "You take me there."

……

The snow in Chang'an suddenly became heavy again, and the howling north wind was blowing towards us, making it almost impossible to see.

Shuang Lin stumbled after Guan Junchen, and gradually fell far behind.Although he called out "Prince", Guan Junchen ignored him and rushed forward with strides.

Guan Junchen's martial arts has slacked off a bit recently, but his kung fu for light body is still excellent.

Shuanglin rubbed his eyes in the cold wind, and saw Guan Junchen's black brocade robe fluttering in the air. In the wind and snow, it looked like a vigorous falcon darting forward. Arrived at the gate of Suyun Pavilion of Cheng Yixuan.

He hurriedly ran to follow, but saw Guan Junchen's figure flashed into Suyun Pavilion, standing on the path at this moment, staring blankly at the two snowmen cuddling close together.

For some reason, Shuang Lin looked at Guan Junchen standing alone in the heavy snow from behind, and felt a little indescribably lonely.

When Guan Junchen raised his head again, his face was as cold as ice.

He didn't need to go into the house to look again, he only saw the snowman and he probably knew it in his heart. At that moment, a fire suddenly burned from his chest.

"Wang Jinzhi—come out."

This simple sentence was normal at first, neither high nor low.

Although Suyunge's house is flat and spacious, the ending of this sentence echoed several times, it sounded like a series of thunderstorms from the flat ground, boring and frightening.

Even though Shuanglin was the one who reported to Guan Junchen, he couldn't help shaking with fright at this moment.

The small Suyun Pavilion is even smaller and weaker amidst the whirling and whirling snowflakes.

Not long after, there was a creak and a figure hurriedly opened the door.

Shuanglin immediately recognized that it was Wang Jinzhi, but he had never seen the chief steward of the palace in such a state of distress before——

The outer shirt was only loosely draped, and the obscene clothes inside were also very disheveled, half tucked into the trousers.

Wang Jinzhi's face was extremely pale, his lips moved, but he couldn't say a word.

"Are you still standing there?"

Guan Junchen stood with his hands behind his back in the bitter cold wind, looking at Wang Jinzhi.

"My lord—"

Wang Jinzhi rushed forward and stumbled a few steps, but before he could reach Guan Junchen, his knees softened and he fell to his knees in the snow with a plop.

He raised his head to look at Guan Junchen, and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, it's Jinzhi's fault, and Jinzhi deserves to die. This matter is all caused by Jinzhi forcing Mr. Cheng to be happy with me, and has nothing to do with him."

"Where's Cheng Yixuan?"

Behind Wang Jinzhi, a young man timidly walked out of the room.

He was wearing a black fox fur, and he didn't have time to put on other clothes underneath. The boots on his feet were obviously not his, because they were too big, so he struggled to move.

Guan Junchen glanced at Cheng Yixuan expressionlessly with his long and narrow phoenix eyes.

Obviously, the young man couldn't resist the cold wind when he wore clothes like this, so he could only use his fingers that were red from the cold to pull the thick fox fur tightly in the middle. blot.

When he saw it, his heart became angry for a moment, and suddenly he slapped Cheng Yixuan's face heavily with his backhand.

Guan Junchen was furious, and his strikes were fast and heavy, causing Cheng Yixuan to fall to the snow.

The youthful pear-blossom-like face was pale at the beginning, and it took a while before the five glaring red finger marks faintly appeared.

At this moment, he suddenly vomited a big mouthful of blood, and it was like a beautiful red plum bloomed on the snow, in which there was a tooth that had been knocked out.

He was timid in the first place, and under the severe pain, his thin body almost shook into sieves, and subconsciously flinched behind Wang Jin.

Seeing this, Wang Jinzhi was even more heartbroken.

He moved his body, knowing that it would anger Guan Junchen even more, but he still stood between Cheng Yixuan and Guan Junchen, and said in a hoarse voice: "My lord, calm down—he, Mr. Cheng, he can't bear it, please, all of this is respectful." fault."

Guan Junchen has known Wang Jinzhi since he was under twenty, how could he not know Wang Jinzhi's temperament.

Although he kept saying that he forced Cheng Yixuan, but in fact he has a respectful and gentle personality, he has never been hostile to others, and he is far from a womanizer, so how could he force the young master in the palace.

Guan Junchen believed that Cheng Yixuan was definitely not being forced at this time, and even more annoyed that Wang Jinzhi was seduced by beauty, he turned his palm under the wide sleeve of his robe, and the sword pattern between his brows showed even more evil spirit.

At this time, he had already channeled his inner strength, and he struck down with his palm high, and in an instant he was going to kill Cheng Yixuan under his palm with the force of thunder.

"My lord—no!"

How can Wang Jinzhi fail to see that this is a killer move when he knows martial arts.

He was so frightened for a moment that he couldn't care about anything else, he stood up abruptly, and slapped Guan Junchen with a "bang" with all his internal strength.

Wang Jinzhi's martial arts were far from Guan Junchen's opponent, so he hastily resisted at this time, and took three or four steps backwards before he barely let go of Guan Junchen's inner strength.

His complexion was like gold paper, and there was a sense of tragedy, obviously he was seriously injured in one move.His body wobbled, and he finally fell down on the snow.

"Brother Jin!"

Cheng Yixuan wailed, he couldn't stand up for a while because of his injury, so he used crawlers to crawl from the snow to Wang Jinzhi's side.

He hugged Wang Jinzhi, the tears in his eyes couldn't help falling, and he cried, "Brother Jinzhi, you, you..."

Guan Junchen was also a little surprised, the cold light in his eyes was almost like a sharp sword, and he stabbed at Wang Jinzhi coldly: "Okay, okay——Wang Jinzhi, this king has always underestimated you. He can't bear it, it seems that you can bear it, for a Boyfriend, you don't even want your life."

Although the two of them are masters and servants, they have also practiced martial arts together for many years, and their hearts are even more interlinked.

Wang Jinzhi's kung fu is not comparable to his. Just now, the master Guan Junchen used all his strength, and he couldn't force it. How could Wang Jinzhi not know.

When receiving this palm, Wang Jinzhi obviously had the will to die in his heart.

If it wasn't for Guan Junchen's extremely fast withdrawal of strength, Wang Jinzhi's body might already be lying here at this time.

……

Wang Jinzhi only felt severe pain in his body, but he quickly suppressed the discomfort of surging Qi and blood.

He struggled to push Cheng Yixuan away a little, then knelt on the ground again, knocked his head heavily into the snow, and hissed: "My lord, please...seeing that Jinzhi has been by your side for more than ten years, how much is it?" For the sake of being a loyal servant, let's spare Mr. Cheng's life."

"Loyal servant—"

Guan Junchen walked up to Wang Jinzhi step by step, stepping on black leather boots with gold trim.

When he heard the people kneeling in front of him mentioning the years of companionship for more than ten years, his chest suddenly felt suffocated.

Guan Junchen had known Wang Jinzhi when he was still a prince, and since then he served in the army for several years, let it be a sea of ​​swords and a sea of ​​bones, and the two of them broke through side by side.

Later, after the great victory at the frontier, the late emperor bestowed upon him the title of the first champion since the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

He has no close friends, no relatives, and no concubine. This honor -- it was Wang Jinzhi who accompanied him to hold it in his hands.

But what he never expected was that Wang Jinzhi, who was by his side when he was enjoying the supreme glory, was also the person who gave him the most embarrassment when he was embarrassed.

Guan Junchen has always been strong-tempered, but after thinking up to this point, he had to forcefully stabilize his mind, and said in a cold voice: "Wang Jinzhi, do you still have the face to mention the word loyalty to this king?"

"Indeed, it is shameless to mention it."

Wang Jinzhi muttered with his fingers stuck in the snow.

"My lord," Cheng Yixuan on the side suddenly raised his head and said at this moment, his voice was trembling with cold and fright, and he looked over sadly: "You are the master, you are the sky of Prince Ning's mansion—and Xuan'er is just She is the most despicable young lady. From the day she entered the mansion, this despicable life should be in your hands, let alone a pair of worthless skin. Thanks to your favor, Xuan'er has been good for several months Situation, because of being favored, everyone in the house fawns over him, being able to eat a few delicious dishes and wear a few silk shirts that can only be worn by nobles, Xuan'er thought in his heart, this is a first-class blessing... But for some reason, even on such a good day, Xuan'er is always afraid of you."

"Xuan'er has always been timid and stupid. When I talk to you, I'm afraid of offending you. When I'm making love in bed, I'm even more afraid that you will be afraid to the bottom of my heart. But being a slave is not hard at all. Day by day, it's hard. I also endured like this. Until later... I saw your appearance in front of Mr. Yan, saw that you were thinking about Mr. Yan, saw that you were smiling for him, angry for him, and cold for you because of Mr. Yan. Venting anger on Xuan'er, she was not willing to hurt him. Only then did Xuan'er realize that this person...actually has another way of living, like Mr. Yan."

When Cheng Yixuan said this, two tears rolled down from a pair of moving eyes, he lowered his head and wiped it quietly with his sleeve.

When Guan Junchen heard Yan Chunxi's name uttered out of his mouth, he suddenly felt as if he had been hit hard in the chest.

He was in pain as if his heart and lungs had been pulled out suddenly, his body shook slightly, his eyes were red and he said: "Cheng Yixuan, how can you compare with him?"

"In the eyes of the lord, Xuan'er is as cheap as weeds, so he is unworthy."

Cheng Yixuan said calmly, although he was still kneeling, there was a faint smile on his face like nostalgia: "But in the eyes of brother Jinzhi, Xuan'er is so precious, he should be held in his hand to cherish and love There are many thoughts in Xuan'er's mind. She wants to leave the palace with Jinzhi's brother, marry him, and go back to her hometown with him to open a small restaurant. But now, none of these are possible. Xuan'er and Jinzhi After a few times, brother, I finally understood what it means to be in love with each other and the joy of fish and water——My lord, when Xuan'er was a slave, I didn't dare to think about it, and I didn't dare to taste it, but once I tasted it, I couldn't do it again That slave from before."

"You bastard!"

Guan Junchen's forehead bulged with blue veins, he let out a roar like a wounded beast, and kicked Cheng Yixuan with his foot.

The young man was kicked right in the heart, and he suddenly fell back. Guan Junchen was furious and wanted to kick again.

Wang Jinzhi was so frightened that his hands and feet went limp. He had been resolute all his life, but at this moment he was so weak that he shed tears, hugged Guan Junchen's boots tremblingly, and begged uncontrollably, "My lord, my lord... Don't hit him, please, don't hit him..."

Cheng Yixuan's body was thin and thin, and the fox fur fell apart from being kicked again, hickey marks were dotted all over his white chest.

He fell half-naked in the snow, his lips turned purple from the cold, but slowly crawled over, hugged Wang Jinzhi lightly, without even looking at Guan Junchen, and said softly, "Brother Jinzhi, stop crying, We don't ask him--we don't ask him."

Seeing Wang Jinzhi and Cheng Yixuan making such gestures in front of him, Guan Junchen felt annoyed at first, but for some reason, his eyes became blurred, and the bright snow color became one piece, shaking, and a silhouette.

"Brother Cheng."

Although the young man smiled so brightly that his dimples were exposed, when he leaned over to stroke his cheek, there was a trace of tender pity in his eyes.

Xi'er, are you pitying me?

Guan Junchen stretched out his hand weakly, and the boy's shadow dispersed like a moon in water.

In front of his eyes gradually became clear, only Wang Jinzhi and Cheng Yixuan were left snuggling together.

no no……

Guan Junchen wanted to chase forward, but before he took a step, he knew it was just vain, he felt a sudden sweetness in his throat, and a bloody smell rushed up from his throat.

He didn't want to show weakness in front of Wang Jinzhi and Wang Jinzhi, so he suppressed himself forcefully, his internal organs seemed to be overwhelmed.

Guan Junchen knew in his heart that such a martial artist would be hurt secretly if he fought hard.It's just that now, he doesn't have any thoughts about his body anymore.

"Okay, okay, the love is so deep, it's really touching, but who would have thought that it would fall into my hands."

Guan Junchen looked at Wang Jinzhi with a livid face: "Wang Jinzhi, you want me to spare his life, don't you?"

"Yes, yes, my lord... I beg you to spare Mr. Cheng's life." Wang Jinzhi was still panting heavily, but he couldn't help but immediately raised his head and pleaded.

Guan Junchen sneered and said: "You have followed me for many years, I had no intention of killing you, but now you are determined to do so, that's fine, I think Cheng Yixuan also agrees with you. In this case, this king wants to see how affectionate you are. The two of you just kneel here, thinking about who will die and who will live—if you can’t figure it out, just kneel in this winter’s auspicious snow until you figure it out. Remember, this king only wants your life.”

As soon as Guan Junchen said this, Wang Jinzhi's face immediately became miserable, his lips were moaning, but he couldn't say a word.

The two of them have been masters and servants for many years, and they have already known each other's minds.At this time, Guan Junchen said these words with such an expression, it was obvious that his mind had been made up and there was no room for change.

At that moment, Wang Jinzhi felt completely hopeless.

Guan Junchen didn't look at the two of them any more, and when he turned around, he saw Shuanglin standing not far away. Although he was dressed thickly, his little face was pale with fright.

Seeing Guan Junchen turned around, Shuanglin hurried forward two steps, with a courteous smile on his face, he held Guan Junchen's arm and said softly: "My lord, let me help you into the house to warm up, it's snowing too much today, Don't blow you away."

His body was softly pressed against Guan Junchen's side, the intimacy was obvious.

Guan Junchen didn't push Shuanglin away, but looked down at him indifferently.

This young man was only sixteen or seventeen years old. Because of his blood from a foreign land, his complexion was much whiter than that of the Central Plains people, and his cat eyes were blue. With Yan Chunxi, naturally others would not look down on him at all, so he never asked Shuanglin to serve him again.

This young man is so beautiful, but he was left out in the cold, so he naturally harbored some unwillingness and ambition, so the one who saw Cheng Yixuan and Wang Jin's scandal was not someone else, but him.

Guan Junchen was always alert, and he could understand with just a thought. The snowman he had just seen was fine and white, and it was obviously made of fresh snow that had just fallen.

Wang Jinzhi has always acted cautiously, if someone hadn't cared about him secretly, how could he even notice the snowman who had only been piled up overnight.

Not only did Shuanglin seize the right time, but he also found Bai Suhan, the second-in-command in the mansion, to inform him on his behalf.

"You put a lot of thought into it." Guan Junchen said to Shuanglin noncommittally.

The expression on the young man's face brightened, he was obviously not sure about the meaning of Guan Junchen's words, he hesitated for a moment before raising his face flatteringly and said: "My lord has been busy with government affairs recently, and I feel unwell, everyone in this mansion should share your worries. But Cheng The young master and I are both pet servants, but they don't understand that his people have long belonged to the prince, and he did such a mediocre thing behind you and your most trusted steward. Manager Bai has made it clear."

"Yes, you are quite faithful."

Guan Junchen said indifferently, "I won't go into the house anymore, you go and order someone to bring some braziers and bring over two chairs covered with animal skins, and I will sit on the porch."

As he spoke, he looked up at the gray sky.

It was obviously getting late, but layers of dark clouds covered the sun firmly, and the flying snow all over the sky fluttered down like goose feathers, falling silently at the feet.

A year has passed.

Spring comes and winter goes, it turns out that the fate of the people in the palace also goes back and forth in general.

Thinking about it, I find it ridiculous that Cheng Yixuan reported on Yan Chunxi, and now that Shuanglin has reported on Cheng Yixuan, it's really difficult to distinguish a loyal person in this mansion.

It's just that everyone denounces, go to one today, and kill two tomorrow, presumably there are fewer and fewer people.

The morning bell came from the imperial city far away, like a gust of wind blowing for no reason.

At that moment, Guan Junchen suddenly felt a sense of depression in his heart, as if everything had ceased——
