On September 18, dark clouds fell over the city.
Looking at the gloomy sky outside, Lin Guo got up from the couch and wondered if he should move back the pots of crabapples he had been tending to in his free time outside the door.
However, the moment he put on his shoes and socks, a powerful and distant bell suddenly sounded outside the room.
"When-"
Keenly discerning that the bell was coming from the direction of the inner city of Kyoto, Lin Guo straightened up and suddenly had some bad premonitions in his heart.
[The old emperor is dead. ]
The sound of 011 and the next bell rang at the same time. Perhaps because the house Shen Ji chose was too remote, the sound of the bell sounded a bit transcendent and vague in Lin Guo's ears.
"Dang-dang-"
Lin Guo stood still and listened to all the bells. After the surroundings returned to silence, Lin Guo finally confirmed that this was the etiquette followed when the emperor of this dynasty died.
A total of twenty-seven death knells, many at a time.
[What are we going to do now? ] Jumping onto Lin Guo's shoulder, Ling Shiyi touched the beard next to his three-flap mouth and said, [Shen Ji's status is special, I can't monitor their situation. ]
"He will win," Lin Guo raised his hand and smoothed Zero Eleven's silky fur. Lin Guo didn't know whether he was comforting the other person or comforting himself, "All we have to do is wait." "Wait until
he comes home. Guard this home for him."
As if it was a national mourning, the sky that had been gloomy all day suddenly began to rain heavily. Through the translucent rain curtain, Lin Guo could see Bao Qin, who was wearing a blue shirt. He ran towards him regardless.
"Madam, the young master has sent someone to deliver a message." Panting, he held his knees and hugged Qin without even bothering to wipe the rain off his body. "The situation has changed. Madam, please hurry up and wait somewhere else with your slave." The young master is going home."
"Don't lie to me." Lin Guo handed the other party a handkerchief to wipe his body without haste. Lin Guo put away the softness in his voice, "This is the home of my husband and I, except Where else can I go here to wait for him to come back?"
The protagonist Gong Shou and the scene over the prince's side cannot be monitored, which shows that even if the old emperor dies, the battle for the throne still cannot come to a conclusion.
Even though he knew that the balance of victory was rapidly tilting towards the prince after Xia Shiyuan and the fifth prince cut off their ties, the power arena was changing rapidly. Even if he believed in the man's skill and ability, Lin Guo's heart still couldn't help but twist. got up.
If Bao Qin can take him away from Shen Garden, which the two of them personally arranged and named, I am afraid that the other party has already prepared for the worst before setting off.
[Don't panic, there will be three warnings when the mission target's life is in danger.] Using the light illusion to hide his figure, Zero Eleven patted Lin Guo's shoulder comfortingly, [I will help you buy the positioning shuttle props in advance, as long as As soon as the warning sounds, I will take you to Shen Ji's side. ]
It can be seen that after getting along with each other in these worlds, the evaluation points and evaluation points are not as important in the eyes of their host as the old lover who has been with the other person for life.
"Madam, don't be ridiculous." Unexpectedly, the normally talkative young man suddenly became tough. He hugged the piano and held the handkerchief and said anxiously, "Now the capital is full of the Fifth Prince's troops and horses. Although we are in a remote place, maybe Sooner or later, you will be searched!"
"I know," patting Baoqin's shoulder, the young man's expression showed a hint of maturity that the other party could not understand, "But where can we go? "
"There is no royal land in the world. If the crown prince fails to succeed, do you think the fifth prince will let the remnants of the prince's faction like us go?" "
There is only one dragon chair in the imperial city. Whether it's glory, wealth or death at home, From the moment our husband stood behind His Royal Highness, the only two options left for us were these two options." "
But the young master will definitely find a way to let the madam live!" I knew that what the madam said made sense, but I still didn't want to hold Qin. Let the other party waste the young master's hard work, "The young master loves his wife so much, even if he risks his own life, he will definitely leave a way for her to survive." "Do
I look like someone who will leave Shen Ji and live alone? ?" Putting away the sadness on his face, the young man suddenly smiled playfully, "Compared with death, I am more afraid of not being able to live with him." "There are
many servants in the house. Take advantage of the heavy rain to cover them up, go and get them as soon as possible. Let's all be dismissed. If nothing happens tonight, the door of Shen Garden will still be open for them."
Secretly, a hypnotic band containing "leave" was given to Baoqin and the entire Shen Garden who refused to leave. Lin Guo held up a I quietly moved the oil-paper umbrella back to the pots of crabapples that had been blown around by the wind and rain.
His heart was too small. If something really happened, he wouldn't be able to save anyone else except Shen Ji.
At any rate, it was considered acquaintance in this world, which could allow them to leave the dangerous realm of Shen Yuan early. It was Lin Guo who tried his best to preserve their friendship over the past few months.
The rain was pouring, and Lin Guo felt that time was so long for the first time as he leaned against the door and stared at the string of water curtains on the corridor.
So long that he couldn't wait to see each other.
*
Time passed little by little while Lin Guo waited silently. The rainstorm did not stop, and a sound similar to the running of horse hooves suddenly came in the night. Before Lin Guo could show any joy on his face, Zero Eleven stood in front of him. A reminder on his shoulder said: "They are the Fifth Prince's men."
With his heartstrings tightening, Lin Guo immediately called up the virtual panel of the system store and methodically purchased equipment and skills that he might need.
As long as his actions are to protect himself and the life of the target mission, then he will not be forcibly expelled from this world no matter how OOC the situation is.
As long as he can straighten out all the unreasonable things later, he can stay by Shen Ji's side as usual like the previous two times.
However, after waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Lin Guo could not wait for the confrontation he imagined. The pouring rain became more and more terrifying, and the faint sound of horse hooves disappeared without a trace at some point. He loosened his grip. A possibility suddenly flashed into Lin Guo's mind.
Sure enough, at the moment Lin Guo raised his eyes and looked forward, a very familiar figure suddenly appeared in the rain curtain illuminated by the warm lanterns in front of the door.
Lightning flashed with a click, and the light not only illuminated the man's unsmiling face, but also illuminated the unsheathed sword in his right hand that was still dripping with light red liquid.
"Shen Ji!" Regardless of holding up the oil-paper umbrella standing at the door, Lin Guo rushed out of the room and hugged him tightly under the heavy rain.
No matter what, he told himself in his heart that nothing would happen to the other person. Only when he truly hugged the man could he truly feel relieved.
As if some personality switch had been touched, the coldness in the corners of the man's eyes and brows softened at the moment he was hugged by the young man. He threw away the sword in his right hand with a "clang", and the man put his hand through the young man's knee. , easily carried the person into the house.
No one knew how anxious he was when he was galloping all the way, and no one knew how timid he was when he was not close to home.
After returning from a night of fighting, he really hoped that the boy could retreat safely as he arranged, but he was also really afraid that the boy would abandon him and leave like this.
This was a despicable and nonsensical contradiction, but it was this wonderful thought that made Shen Ji stop entering Shen Garden.
This huge house with no light in the darkness was too much like a wild beast that chose people to eat. Even though Shen Ji was as determined as Shen Ji, he couldn't help but hesitate in front of it.
If it hadn't been for the remnants of the fifth prince who came here to wake him up, he might have been a coward who had been struggling with his mother-in-law for a long time outside the door.
Of course, Shen Ji would never tell Lin Guo these subtle and indescribable thoughts.
Just like he would never say, how his heart was filled with a sour and grateful joy after seeing the room that was lit up for him in the middle of the night.
"Why don't you know how to take care of yourself?" There were no clean handkerchiefs in the room. Looking at the dripping boy like a drowned man, Shen Ji simply put his hand on the other person's head, and his inner energy was mobilized.
Warm heat came from the Baihui point. Lin Guo shivered comfortably and involuntarily wanted to rub against the other person.
"Don't make trouble, you're dirty." Shen Ji helplessly pushed the person away with his fingers. He looked at the other person's half-dried hair and retracted his hand, "Where are Baoqin and the others? Why aren't any of them here?" "You used a little bit
. We drove them all away." He lowered his head and did not dare to look into the man's eyes. The young man fluttered his eyelashes and whispered, "Not everyone has the qualifications and the obligation to bury his father-in-law. In the entire Shen Garden, everyone has this qualification and obligation. I'm the only one here."
"So sir, don't blame them, okay?" Shaking the man's palm hanging by his side, the young man shook his body pitifully, "Yao'er is so cold, let's go to the hot springs, okay? ?"
Because the hot springs in Shen Yuan are full of running water, Shen Ji sent someone to introduce one of them into the bathhouse. Therefore, even if the servants are not around now, the two of them can take a warm bath peacefully in this rainy night. Water bath.
It only took him a second to think about the importance of teaching people to bathe together, and Shen Ji took clean clothes and led people to the bathroom without any principles.
Because the road leading to the bathroom was covered with a corridor, the two of them didn't bother to hold an umbrella. Holding the boy's still a little cold hand, Shen Ji quietly sent some inner energy to it, feeling that he was drifting. After nearly thirty years of work, my heart finally found a stable home.
When the sun rises tomorrow, the group of people who had hurt his mother will get the punishment they deserve, and when those bad pasts are all over, he can give the boy a complete heart.
"Did my husband ever say that you are amazing?" He raised his eyebrows, and the soaked man still smiled with an unparalleled handsomeness. "In the next twenty years of my life, the luckiest thing is that I met you. "
The candlelight flickered, and Lin Guo, who was holding the lantern in his hand, was dazzled by the man's familiar smile. Through the noisy rain outside the corridor, he could hear his own accelerated heartbeat.
What should I do? It seems that no matter how he changes his appearance and identity, he will still fall in love with the same man uncontrollably.
The "seven-year itch" that he initially talked about seemed so far away that it would never come.
