372, return to Beijing
372, return to Beijing
A team returning from Beijun arrived outside Kyoto City. When they were near Shili Pavilion, they heard a burst of hurried horse hooves coming towards them.
The captain of the guard in front of the team was the first to discover that the people coming towards them were their other master and familiar brothers.
When the two teams were about to get close, they both stopped.
"Sir, it's the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince is here to pick you up." The guard sitting on the shaft of the carriage saw their Crown Prince coming and happily told his master in the carriage.
“Whoa—”
Riding a horse to the stopped carriage, Zhao Lang grabbed the reins and stopped the horse.
"Greetings, His Majesty." The guard sitting on the shaft jumped off the carriage and saluted their Prince.
Zhao Lang waved his hand, telling everyone not to be so polite.
Lu Mingfei, sitting in the carriage, felt it stop and heard the noise outside. After realizing who was coming to pick him up, he was stunned for a moment, but then he quickly reacted and reached out to lift the curtain.
However, as soon as his hand touched the curtain, it was lifted up from the outside.
The curtain blocking the middle of the carriage was lifted by someone outside, and he and the man sitting on horseback outside, who was bending over to lift the curtain, met each other's eyes.
Before he could say anything, the man outside jumped down from the carriage and got into his carriage.
"you……"
The next second, Lu Mingfei fell into a familiar embrace. The man's hands held him tightly, very hard, as if he wanted to squeeze him into his arms.
After a moment of hesitation, a smile appeared on his face and he reached out to hug the man's waist.
The two of them hugged each other like this, as if they wanted to bring back all the separation and longing they had experienced over the years.
After a while, Lu Mingfei raised his head and kissed the Regent on the chin, then asked, "Regent, aren't you afraid that the news of you getting out of the official carriage will spread throughout Kyoto?"
"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid?" Zhao Lang lowered his eyes and looked at the young man in his arms, who was looking up at him. His eyes moved slowly across the young man's face, finally landing on his lips.
He raised his hand to touch the young man's lips, pressed and rubbed the young man's lips, then suddenly lowered his head and captured the young man's lips.
Before Lu Mingfei could say anything, his mouth was blocked by someone.
"hiss--"
The man gnawed and bit him, causing him to gasp in pain.
As if hearing the sound of his breathing, the man's fierce kiss paused for a moment and then turned into a lingering kiss.
"Ming Fei..."
"Yeah, I'm here." What did you call him for?
Lu Mingfei raised his hand and pressed Zhao Lang's neck, tilting his head back to respond to the man's kiss. Because not only did this man miss him, he also missed this person.
The temperature in the carriage continued to rise, and they could clearly feel each other's chests rising and falling and their rapid breathing.
After the kiss, Zhao Lang was reluctant to let go of the person in his arms. He brushed his lips against the young man's cheek and spoke: "Lu Mingfei, I miss you very much. I miss you every day, every day, every night. You are the one I dream of..."
"Shh-"
Lu Mingfei put his fingers on someone's lips and stared at the person who had learned to say sweet words to him after not seeing him for a year.
This is on the main road, they are still in the carriage, and there are so many people outside. Isn't this person afraid that what they say here will be heard by people outside?
In reality, the guards outside were all experts with sharp eyes and ears, and they had already heard the noise from the carriage. However, they had heard louder noises than today's, so this little noise was nothing.
Zhao Lang grabbed the hand that was pressed against his lips and kissed it. How could he not know what the look in their Lord Lu's eyes meant?
"Let's go into the city." He found a comfortable seat in the carriage and took Lord Lu into his arms. He made Lord Lu kneel on his waist, with his upper body pressed against his, and his hands were around Lord Lu's waist to prevent him from getting up.
When the guards outside heard the sound coming from the carriage, they all got on the carriage or the horses.
The two teams merged into one team and continued to move towards Kyoto Prefecture.
Before the other people following behind could figure out what was going on, their team continued to move forward.
"Zhao Lang, let me up!" After realizing what position the two of them were in, Lu Mingfei's face suddenly turned red and he struggled to get up.
However, the two arms tied around his waist were as strong as two pliers, and no matter how he struggled, he couldn't get up.
"Don't rub it. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that I won't do you in this carriage." Zhao Lang slapped Lord Lu on the butt. He was already having a hard time enduring it, and this man continued to seduce him.
“…” Lu Mingfei’s eyes widened and he stared at Zhao Lang. This time he didn’t dare to struggle anymore.
"We've done everything together, why are you looking at me like that?" Zhao Lang felt that Lord Lu, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, was quite cute, and couldn't help but kiss the young man on the lips.
"I just want everyone in Kyoto Prefecture to know about my relationship with you. Two years ago, you were driven out of Kyoto Prefecture by that old bastard Wan Jinnian. Today, I want him to know that I came to pick you up personally. You are mine."
Wan Jinnian is Prime Minister Wan, but apart from Zhao Lang, there is no one else who dares to threaten his life.
After hearing this, Lu Mingfei finally understood why Zhao Lang came out to pick him up with such fanfare this time. It turned out that he came to support him. He was deeply moved.
Now that he was back, and they knew each other, the fact that he was the Regent's man would definitely be known to Prime Minister Wan's faction. This time, none of them planned to hide the fact that they knew each other.
Moreover, he still has a score to settle with Prime Minister Wan.
If Zhao Lang hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten how he left Kyoto Prefecture two years ago, and how Prime Minister Wan sent people to hunt him down along the way.
"It's time to settle accounts with Prime Minister Wan. He sent people to hunt me down, and I still haven't settled accounts with him yet!"
"We can discuss the matter of settling the score with that old bastard later. Now, I don't want to hear anything from you about anyone other than me." Zhao Lang held the back of Lu Mingfei's neck and pushed him towards him.
Their lips touched together again. He had originally just wanted to take a quick sip, but Lord Lu tasted so good that he couldn't help but deepen the kiss between them.
With the regent's personal guards leading the way, their team entered the city smoothly.
Even the guard at the gate let them pass without checking their carriage.
If the guards outside lifted the curtain of the carriage to check the situation inside, they would see their cold-faced regent, who was rumored to be aloof from women, lying in the carriage in dishevel, holding a young man in his arms who was also disheveled.
***
After their convoy entered the city, everyone separated.
Lu Mingfei was detained in the carriage by Zhao Lang. He did not get off to say goodbye to the seniors who were returning to Beijing with him. He was taken away by Zhao Lang.
Their carriage entered the gate of Prince Ding's Mansion, went all the way inside, and stopped in a courtyard.
"Master, we're here." The guard outside gave a reminder and then retreated with the other brothers.
Only after hearing the footsteps outside did Zhao Lang get off the carriage with the young man in his arms.
"Let me down..."
"Don't move."
Lu Mingfei just moved when he got slapped on the butt. The slap wasn't very strong, but rather than hurting, he felt more embarrassed. "...Zhao Lang, what's wrong with you? Don't spank me again!"
After getting off the carriage, he saw that the yard was empty and there was no one else there except the two of them. So he stopped moving and let Zhao Lang carry him away.
"If you behave yourself, I won't hit you." Zhao Lang looked at Lord Lu's blushing face with a smug smile on his face.
“…” Damn obedient!
Seeing the familiar courtyard, Lu Mingfei knew that Zhao Lang had brought him back to Prince Ding's Mansion, a place he had visited many times before. "I want to take a shower."
"You are so impatient and want to wash yourself clean?" Zhao Lang held the young man steadily and walked into the bathing area.
“…” Lu Mingfei closed his eyes and didn’t want to talk to this person anymore.
The two of them took a bath for a long time before coming out of the bathroom.
When he came out, Zhao Lang was holding the young man who had fallen asleep in his arms and carried him back to his bedroom.
He put the sleeping young man on the big bed where he slept and laid himself down. He then got on the bed and lay down next to the young man.
Before he could reach out, the sleeping young man automatically rolled into his arms, one arm across his waist, one foot on his leg, the same position they used to sleep in together.
Zhao Lang paused for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face. He turned sideways, hugged the young man in his arms, rested his chin on the young man's head, and then closed his eyes.
At this time, everyone in Kyoto who should know that the Regent had personally gone out of the city to pick someone up knew about this.
"What did you say? That kid Zhao Lang went out of the city to pick up Fu Zheng and the others? He also brought that kid Lu Mingfei back home?" When Prime Minister Wan heard the news reported by the servants, he thought he had misheard.
"Your Excellency, this is indeed true. The Prince Regent has taken Lord Lu back to Prince Ding's Mansion. Lord Lu is still inside the mansion and has not come out yet."
"Lu Mingfei?" Prime Minister Wan pondered in his heart, "When did that brat Zhao Lang, that brat Lu Mingfei, and Fu Zheng and his gang get involved?"
"Lu Mingfei, that kid..."
"So he's Zhao Lang's man?"
Prime Minister Wan always felt that he had missed something very important. He didn't know when that kid Zhao Lang got involved with Lu Mingfei. One was a top scholar from a humble family, and the other was a hostage from a royal palace. These two might have known each other long before any of them knew about it.
What role has Lu Mingfei played behind Zhao Lang's back all these years? And what has Zhao Lang done in Kyoto Prefecture all these years?
Prime Minister Wan suddenly realized that he didn't seem to know his opponent very well. "Go and find out the relationship between Zhao Lang, Lu Mingfei, and Fu Zheng. How did they know each other?"
"Especially, investigate that kid Lu Mingfei thoroughly!"
"Yes, sir." The visitor responded, and when his master waved his hand, he turned and walked out.
Today's update.
