I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country - Chap 162
It was impossible to walk on the mountain road, so Gu Yuanbai walked up the mountain with great interest.
The slope of the hill was quite gentle, but Gu Yuanbai still overestimated his ability. Before he climbed halfway up the mountain, his face turned pale and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on a hot day.
Chu Wei noticed something was wrong with him immediately and hurriedly helped him to rest under a tree. Gu Yuanbai’s fingers were trembling slightly. He put his fingertips into his sleeves and calmly calmed his rapid breathing.
Breathe in, breathe out. Someone on the side brought herbal tea. Gu Yuanbai glanced at it and whispered, “Use plain water and add some salt.”
He must be suffering from heatstroke. He is dizzy, his eyes are dark, his chest feels tight and he is a little nauseous. At the very least, he is suffering from mild heatstroke.
Gu Yuanbai put his hand on the belt, took off the belt and took off his robe under Chu Wei’s astonished gaze. Chu Wei turned his back suddenly, the hem of his clothes drew a semicircle on the ground, and his white jade ears were so red. Drops of blood.
Gu Yuanbai neatly took off his clothes until only his inner shirt was left. He loosened the belt so that the collar was no longer so tight. Tian Fusheng and the eunuchs quickly gathered the clothes on his arms and legs. People around him were sweating profusely and waving fans. The cool breeze blew in from his limbs and chest, and Gu Yuanbai felt a little more comfortable.
The inner garment is already pure white, but the exposed wrists and half of the calf are actually a bit whiter than the inner garment, with a luster like white jade, and the greenery all over the body serves as a foil for him.
It took Chu Wei a long while to endure his shame and turned around. The imperial doctor was checking the Holy Sage’s pulse. Palace attendants and officials were surrounding the Holy Sage. Chu Wei could see clearly. Some young officials had dodges in their eyes and their faces were red. He didn’t dare to take another look at His Majesty.
The Holy One is powerful and famous all over the world. I am afraid that many people are just now remembering that apart from the majesty and dignity, the Holy One’s appearance is also first-class and exquisite.
Chu Wei couldn’t help but feel a little displeased, and his displeasure became even more profound when he saw Chang Yuyan smiling and coming to care about the Lord. Impulsively, he stepped forward and took the folding fan from San Yuyan’s hand without any explanation, and covered the corner of the sage in a subtle way, “Sir, there is a stream not far away. You should go there to find some coolness.” ?”
Gu Yuanbai smiled bitterly and said, “Let’s go after a while.”
It has been seven years since he found the master of emptiness. Gu Yuanbai thought that no matter how weak his body was, he would not be afraid of climbing a mountain. He never thought that he would suffer from heatstroke if the sun was brighter.
He also wanted to go to the stream to cool off, but he was too lazy to move. If Xue Yuan were here, he would have carried him, a lazy person, there long ago.
Gu Yuanbai was lost in thought for a moment. Chu Wei looked at his expression and felt a little flustered for no reason. For the first time, he lost his temper and said, “Your Majesty?”
Gu Yuanbai was suddenly awakened, and his eyes reflected the lush greenery in front of him again. He looked back and smiled at Chu Wei, “What’s the matter?”
Chu Wei lowered his eyes, covering up those small thoughts that were not upright and aboveboard, “I will go with Lord Chang to get some water from the stream for the Holy One.”
Chang Yuyan had been standing nearby looking at Chu Wei with a half-smile, and then he spoke out: “Master Chu is right, it would be better for you to use some cold water to wipe away the heat.”
As soon as the two of them spoke, the surrounding officials also announced their intention to go, hoping to show their loyalty to the Holy Lord. Gu Yuanbai nodded in agreement, and the number of people around suddenly decreased by half.
While these people were bringing water, Dong Lingwei found a good shady place. Gu Yuanbai took a few breaths, stood up and went to the shady place. On the way, we passed a big tree with gnarled roots and so many branches and leaves that no light could penetrate. When Gu Yuanbai was about to pass under the tree, a gust of wind came, accompanied by a sudden pleasant sound.
Gu Yuanbai paused in his steps. He raised his head following the sound and saw a long piece of wood hanging down between the tangled branches. When the breeze moves, the gravel collides under the carved wooden pieces, and the feathers flutter lightly in the wind, making a crisp sound.
This is a Zhanfeng Duo made of stone feathers.
Zhanfeng Duo is similar to a wind chime and was used by ancient people to detect the wind and pray for blessings.
How could there be such a thing on the way up the mountain?
Gu Yuanbai was curious, “Zhang Xu.”
The captain of the guard reached the Zhanfeng Duo in one leap. After Gu Yuanbai got it, he looked around. Before he could see anything, he heard the sound of wind chimes in front of him again. He walked a few steps forward and found himself under another tree. I also saw Zhanfeng Duo swaying gently.
“Why are there so many Zhanfeng Duo?” Gu Yuanbai wondered. “Could it be that the lay people who live in seclusion here hung them on the trees?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a strong gust of wind blew. The Zhanfeng Duo on the tree in front of me rang violently, and more Zhanfeng Duos in front of me played together one after another in the strong wind with fallen leaves flying.
There was a tinkling sound, and the clear sound shuttled among the trees, and there were actually hundreds of them.
Gu Yuanbai was fascinated by the hair, and he simply closed his eyes. The loose clothing belts floated gracefully in the wind, and the strong wind blew, and the sound of Zhanfeng Duo seemed to be wrapped in the wind and dancing and singing.
Floating upward, through the canopy of trees, through the clouds.
The heat was swept away, and Gu Yuanbai smiled without knowing when. His whole body seemed to relax at such a voice, as if he was blown up by the wind. Tian Fusheng beside him was suddenly surprised and said: “Your Majesty, there are words engraved on the Zhanfeng Duo in your hand.”
Gu Yuanbai opened his eyes and looked where Tian Fusheng was pointing. It turned out to be a small piece of gravel with vague words engraved on it. He took a closer look and identified the line “I hope he won’t suffer from the medicine.” Character.
Gu Yuanbai’s heart suddenly started beating fast.
He didn’t even know what he was thinking. He only asked Zhang Xu to take down the Zhanfeng Duo from the tree in front of him. He looked for the words on the Zhanfeng Duo, and it didn’t take much effort to find a line of words: “Looking.” He no longer sheds tears.”
Gu Yuanbai stared at this line of writing for a long time. Every stroke of these words was written with a lot of force. Writing on a stone is different from writing on paper. The handwriting carved on the stone is vaguely familiar, yet strange.
The flying flowers and plants were whirling, and the Zhanfeng Duo was removed one by one, and the words above came into view one after another.
“I hope he lives forever and is free from illness.”
“I hope he eats more.”
“I hope his legs and feet don’t hurt on a rainy day.”
Gu Yuanbai walked forward following the ringing of Zhanfeng Duo’s bell, and the people around him followed behind, watching him sometimes purse his lips and sometimes smile.
“I hope he can sleep until dawn.”
“Hope that the things he carries will not be a burden.”
“Hopefully he can use some wine, but he can only drink a little.”
The wind in the forest blew again, and Gu Yuanbai seemed to be aware of it. He raised his head and looked towards the front of the mountain road.
A tall figure in Confucian robes appeared at the top of the mountain road. He looked at Gu Yuanbai and wanted to smile, but before he could smile, he saw something wrong with Gu Yuanbai’s underwear.
His expression changed, and he suddenly ran from the top of the mountain. The elegant Confucian robe was instantly brought out by him, giving him the aura of thousands of horses and thousands of troops. Gu Yuanbai’s eyes widened and his mouth opened slightly. He watched this person getting closer and closer, his face becoming clearer and clearer, and finally he was picked up and spun around several times with his toes off the ground.
The people around thought it was an assassin coming. Before the sword was drawn, they heard the captain of the guard say in surprise: “Master Xue——”
The Zhanfeng Duo in Gu Yuanbai’s hand began to sway, and the threads became entangled. The scenery in front of him turned around, and the next moment, Xue Yuan hugged him and ran to the top of the mountain.
With the noisy heartbeat ringing in his ears, Gu Yuanbai grabbed Zhanfeng Duo and raised his head from his arms.
His strong chin and stubble looked like he had just been shaved. There was still moisture left on his body after bathing. His Adam’s apple was tight and darkened.
Three years.
He has gone through hardships and time, and has grown into a mature man.
The sharpness between the brows and eyes has darkened, as if they have been locked tightly and never relaxed. There was a small scar on the side of his face that was already starting to scar.
Xue Yuan has already stood up.
It seems that youth can be used to describe him, but it seems that it cannot be used to describe him. He was still very strong, and his breathing did not change at all after holding Gu Yuanbai for such a long distance. It seemed that there was no change, but it seemed that a lot had changed, but Gu Yuanbai didn’t know where the change was.
The words on the distant envelope suddenly arrived in front of me through time, space and distance. The figure in front of me gradually became staring. His body was warm and his palms were warm. This was a living person.
It’s someone I haven’t seen in three years.
Gu Yuanbai’s memory was filled with the person he was three years ago, but as soon as Xue Yuan came out, he forcefully shattered the impression of him three years ago in Gu Yuanbai’s memory, leaving only the person in front of him. , strange yet familiar.
Gu Yuanbai doesn’t like to treat life passively. Even though the three years of separation are very painful and the time is very slow, he has always faced life optimistically and actively, looking for the happiness that can exist in two places. But at this time, he had never understood so clearly: Xue Yuan was different.
Having missed each other for three years, there should be some changes that the other party cannot participate in. Even Gu Yuanbai couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed at this time.
The arms bounced, Xue Yuan looked down at him, pressed Gu Yuanbai’s head into his arms, and said in a deep voice: “It’s okay, I won’t feel uncomfortable soon.”
The eyes darkened, and the breath gradually awakened the memory. It was still the familiar temperature, familiar embrace and smell.
Gu Yuanbai shook the Zhanfeng Duo in his hand, and all his thoughts settled.
He was led through a corridor and finally placed on a bamboo bed. The bamboo mat was refreshing. Gu Yuanbai’s hair was folded under his body, and the loose belts on his body were untied by a pair of big hands, and the last clothes were scattered.
The footsteps moved away and then came closer, the door was closed, the sound of water dripping in the basin was heard, the handkerchief was wrung out, and it gently wiped Gu Yuanbai’s forehead and eyebrows.
Xue Yuan chuckled, “Close your eyes.”
Gu Yuanbai closed his eyes.
Rubbing his warm hands from his neck to his abdomen, Xue Yuan took off his pants, took a look, and murmured, “I miss you so much.”
Gu Yuanbai slapped his hand down.
There was a muffled laugh, and the legs were carefully wiped. The last heat of the body that had recovered had completely dissipated, and there was no trace of coolness, and the sweat in the hair also disappeared.
Gu Yuanbai’s expression slowly relaxed, and his clothes were put on again. The folded sleeves and trousers were put down. Xue Yuan had not served anyone to dress for three years, but when he served him again, he was almost not unfamiliar.
Xue Yuan asked: “Are you still feeling uncomfortable?”
Gu Yuanbai shook his head.
Xue Yuan smiled, leaned over and hugged Gu Yuanbai, then hugged him and spun him around several times uncontrollably, “I miss you so much!”
He was full of love words one after another, and as he spoke, he kissed Gu Yuanbai passionately on the face, his face was covered with saliva, and his words were vague, “Yuan Bai, I miss you so much, I really miss you so much. ”
The longing that was so strong that it took shape was dripping with thick liquid, almost drowning Gu Yuanbai drop by drop. Xue Yuan hugged him, kept talking about missing him in his left ear, and passionately told his love in his right ear.
Those unfamiliar feelings that had just arisen were dissolved and dissipated in his thoughts and love.
Someone outside the door looked at the door fiercely and said anxiously: “Your Majesty!”
Tian Fusheng’s voice rang out, “Oh, Mr. Chu, please come to the side with me. If you want to ask me something, talk to me. I will listen to you one by one.”
After a while, the door was knocked again. Sanyu said with a smile, “Your Majesty, I have brought some water.”
Gu Yuanbai pushed Xue Yuan’s head away, “Get out of here.”
Xue Yuan’s expression immediately became relieved, “It’s been a long time since I’ve been scolded by Your Majesty. Your Majesty, that’s not enough. Please scold me a few more times.”
Gu Yuanbai: “…put me down.”
Xue Yuan carefully put him down according to his words, and carefully smoothed out every wrinkle on Gu Yuanbai’s body with his fingers, straightening out every stray strand of Gu Yuanbai’s hair.
His palms had a hint of reluctance, with heavy attachment pressing on them. When they finally left Gu Yuanbai’s head, they seemed to pull out a beautiful thread of love.
Gu Yuanbai couldn’t help but reach out and touch his eyebrows. They had already spread out, but there were still traces of a long frown. “What kind of difficulties can make you leave such deep marks in three years?”
Xue Yuan lowered his head to let him touch him, and closed his eyes in comfort. Hearing this, his eyelids moved, and he held the Holy Lord’s hand, “Does the Holy Lord really not know?”
Gu Yuanbai: “Huh?”
Xue Yuan opened his eyes, his dark eyes were like those of an adult beast, and the waves of sugar were buried beneath the surface. He sighed, finally showing a completely different look from before at this moment.
Deep and fiery.
“Because of a person, someone you and I know very well,” he said, “my sweetheart.”
