Chapter 7
The next day, Lu Shenxing realized something was wrong. As soon as he spoke, Xin Liang turned around and left with various excuses.
Tong Yi found an opportunity to ask, "General, did you have a quarrel with the military advisor?"
Lu Shenxing was puzzled. "No, he didn't seem to have eaten anything. Bring him two pieces of bread."
Tong Yi's eyes widened instantly when he heard this, and his strange gaze quickly moved back and forth between Lu Shenxing before leaving.
"Military Advisor, the general asked me to give you this cake."
When Xin Liang touched the cake, the expression on his face became indescribable.
Tong Yi scratched his face. Was he upset? Not really.
Lu Shenxing didn't talk to Xin Liang along the way. He racked his brains but couldn't figure out how he had offended her. Could it be that showing goodwill was wrong?
Cangyue City is the most prosperous city in the south of the royal city. The water and the sky are one color, and being in the city makes people feel relaxed and happy.
In the inn, Lu Shenxing was afraid that King Jing would play some tricks again, so for safety reasons, he decided to stay in the same room with Xin Liang.
King Jing waved his paper fan and said with a half-smile, "I really envy the relationship between General Chang and the military advisor."
Then you can slowly envy him. Lu Shenxing dragged Xin Liang upstairs before he could refuse.
After entering the room, Lu Shenxing stared at the young man in front of him with a frown, "Xin Liang, you are hiding from me."
After last night's conversation, the way they addressed each other changed.
Xin Liang tilted his head, "That's not the case."
Lu Shenxing closed the door and said in a firm tone, leaving Xin Liang no room for refusal, "You must sleep with me tonight."
Xin Liang frowned, "No."
Lu Shenxing had already taken off his coat. He took the bamboo stick from Xin Liang's hand, with an attitude of having to do it no matter what.
"We're all men, I don't know what you're afraid of." Lu Shenxing wiped his face with a wet cloth and sneered, "Do you think I'd eat you?"
Xin Liang's brows were still furrowed, and his whole body exuded an aura of resistance.
After taking off his shoes and socks and getting on the bed, Lu Shenxing raised his eyebrows and said, "On the count of three, if you don't come over, I'll hug you."
Xin Liang's hanging fingers suddenly trembled.
Lu Shenxing supported his head with one hand and said casually, "Three, two... two point five..."
The corners of Xin Liang's lips curved slightly, and two words came out of his mouth, "Childish."
Lu Shenxing's facial expression twitched.
The lights went out and the room became dark. Outside the window, the black-sailed boats on the Sansi River were swaying unsteadily, with the faint sounds of children playing.
It was the first time that Lu Shenxing lay in a bed with a man. He tossed left and right, feeling uncomfortable. It took him a while to find a suitable sleeping position.
"Do you have any wish?"
After a long time, Xin Liang's voice sounded, "No."
Bullshit! Who doesn't have a wish or two? Lu Shenxing rested his head on his arm and yawned lazily, "Tell me when you want to tell me."
Xin Liang was sleeping inside. The temperature behind him was extremely unfamiliar to him, and he almost stuck to the wall.
"Don't put your legs on me. Also, no snoring, no farting, no..."
Xin Liang pinched his brows and said, "I'm going to go out and sleep."
Lu Shenxing turned his head and said in a domineering tone, "No!"
After an unknown amount of time, a snoring sound was heard from behind, followed by a leg crossing over. Xin Liang's body tensed up and he didn't move at all, even his breathing became much slower.
"Xin Liang, you have me... you have me..."
The person who was speaking had no intention and was sleeping soundly, but the person who was listening was completely confused and could no longer fall asleep.
All night long, Xin Liang was as stiff as a piece of wood, and Lu Shenxing snored like thunder.
"Did you sleep well last night?"
Xin Liang didn't say anything, but he conveyed a bad message from head to toe.
Lu Shenxing put on his shoes and socks, then went over to stand beside Xin Liang, who was fumbling with his clothes. He glanced at his pale face and said, "You'll get used to it if you sleep more."
Xin Liang opened the door and went out holding the bamboo stick without saying a word.
Lu Shenxing frowned in confusion, "...Aren't women's hearts as unfathomable as the sea? Why are men so difficult too?"
As soon as he went out, he was invited to the attic.
King Jing, who had already been sitting by the window with wine and food laid out, smiled warmly and waved, "General Chang, come and sit down."
When the beauty smiled, even the ducks in the river fluttered their wings.
Lu Shenxing had just sat down and before he could even take a bite of food, he heard something from King Jing opposite him.
"General Chang, this king wants to ask you for someone."
Lu Shenxing's eyes darkened. He put down his chopsticks and pretended to be clueless, asking, "Oh? Who is the prince referring to?"
King Jing shook his wine glass and said, "Your military advisor is Xin Liang."
Lu Shenxing looked embarrassed. "Your Highness, I'm afraid you don't know that this military advisor of mine has a bit of a temper. I'm afraid this matter depends on his own wishes."
"That's easy." King Jing seemed to have expected this. He shouted towards the door, "Someone, go get the military advisor."
Xin Liang followed the sound, tapping his bamboo stick over, and fell silent after hearing King Jing's invitation.
One is at the border with yellow sand all over the sky, facing danger at any time, and the other is the third son following the current emperor, with a bright future. Anyone with a clear mind will choose the latter.
Lu Shenxing was extremely annoyed, and when he heard Xin Liang's answer, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
The curve of King Jing's lips disappeared.
The atmosphere began to become tense.
"What a pity! Since the military advisor is unwilling, then so be it." King Jing picked up the wine pot, took out the third wine glass that had been placed next to it and filled it up. When he placed the wine glass in front of Xin Liang, he turned the ring on his hand.
This was a very common action, but it made Lu Shenxing's eyelids jump. He saw that the plot was starting to unravel again.
"Come, military advisor, sit down and eat together."
Xin Liang tilted his head, and even though his eyes were covered by a black cloth, Lu Shenxing was still sure that he was looking at him.
"Why is the crow in the tree's beak green?"
Jing Wang looked over when he heard the sound and laughed out loud, "That's clearly a poor bird."
"It's because my eyesight is poor."
At the moment when King Jing looked away, Lu Shenxing calmly exchanged Xin Liang's wine with King Jing.
Lu Shenxing chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, I will do it first."
As if it was a signal, Xin Liang picked up the wine glass without moving, and when he put it down, the wine was empty.
King Jing's eyes darkened, and the smile on his face was somewhat intriguing. "I didn't expect the military advisor to have such a good alcohol tolerance."
He spun the glass, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp, "This wine tastes good."
Lu Shenxing sneered in his heart, you will suffer in a while.
Halfway through drinking the wine, King Jing's cheeks flushed and his lower abdomen felt hot. He simply thought it was because the wine was too strong, or because he was about to get a spicy and cool taste.
Lu Shenxing stood up when he saw the opportunity and said, "Your Majesty, I still have things to attend to, so I will take my leave first."
King Jing shook his head, his eyes already cloudy, "Okay."
When they reached the door, Lu Shenxing lowered his voice and said in Xin Liang's ear, "You stay here, I'll go out first. Remember, no matter what sound you hear later, ignore it."
Xin Liang stood there and nodded.
When the man in black outside saw Lu Shenxing coming out alone, he did not leave. He stood against the wall with his arms folded until he heard some movement inside. It seemed that he had received an instruction and confirmed something, then he turned around and left.
Lu Shenxing, who had just returned, was filled with moans as soon as he entered. He looked at Xin Liang, who had an indifferent expression, and said, "Go out and wait for me."
Xin Liang looked up suddenly, "He drugged me, and you changed it."
"Let's talk later. Get out." Lu Shenxing pushed him out forcefully. "Trust me."
Coming back, Lu Shenxing looked solemn. Xin Liang was right. King Jing was suspicious of him, and he couldn't just sit there passively.
"Since you love Xin Weichen so much, don't you know the saying 'Love him deeply and let him be deeply loved'? Why do you have to think about Xin Liang's chrysanthemum?" Lu Shenxing held down the person who was rubbing against him, "I have to protect Xin Liang, buddy, I'm sorry."
Glancing at the three pairs of chopsticks on the table, Lu Shenxing's eyes flashed with amusement. He patted Prince Jing's face and said, "Your Highness, do you prefer four or five?"
"How about six? Six is my lucky number. Your Majesty, if you don't say anything, it means you agree."
Lu Shenxing smiled and put away the six chopsticks, "Your Highness, let's begin."
