The Ugly Empress, Chapter 69, vol 2 Chapter 23: Peach Blossoms Pond
Zhao Lu led the soldiers to escort the grain and salaries to the lower reached of the Shui River. When passing by the Peach Blossoms pond, he was ambushed. However, the troops of the other side were obviously not good, and the number of people was small, they were just relying on the rugged terrain.
Zhao Lu asked people to protect the grain and salaries. He captured several people alive. After interrogation, he knew that it was the Zhang Hong's remaining party who fled to the Peach Blossoms pond, because the terrain was so dangerous that hardly anyone stayed here.
The Peach Blossoms pond area is full of the weed grass. Although the weed grass is not poisonous, it also became poisonous when exposed to the sun. These remaining parties can't find any people to rob from nearby. They don't have food to eat, and they are afraid of being chased by the armies. So when they see the grain transport team, they just go out and fight.
Because Zhao Lu wanted to protect grain and salaries, a small number of the remaining parties were not caught and fled to the Shui River.
These remaining parties were seized by the Feng state. In order to protect their lives, they said that they had seen the army from the Xue state and they told Feng Ming about Zhao Lu's sending troops to Peach Blossoms pond.
Feng Ming got the military news and killed the remaining party of the Zhang Hong army. Zhang Hong himself is a villain. So are the rest of the party. He was afraid that they will betray the Feng state in the future.
Feng Ming looked at the map and found that Peach Blossoms pond is a small mountain not far away. Although it is not high, it is low-lying nearby, so you can see the whole scene of the mountain at the top of the mountain. If Zhao Lu sends troops to Peach Blossoms pond, he must want to occupy the land. If there is any movement in the future, he can see clearly.
Feng Ming, of course, knew that Emperor Xue is suspicious. It's impossible to marry a princess on his own. The two countries have lived in peace since then. When he secretly strengthened his defense, Xue Jun Liang also sent troops to do the same.
Indeed, as Xue Jun Liang thought, if it is a sneak attack, the Peach Blossoms pond must be the best breakthrough point.
Feng Ming closed his eyes and sneered. Xue Jun Liang was smart, but he was too smart. When he was calculating other people's miscalculations, he thought that if he sent Zhao Lu to the Peach Blossoms pond, he would not let go of his old love feeling and would not be ruthless.
“What a pity..."
Feng Ming muttered to himself and sighed. Zhao Lu is a General. But Xue Jun Liang underestimated Feng Ming. Feng Ming and Zhao Lu have been together for nearly ten years. How can he not understand Zhao Lu's nature? His routine on marching and using soldiers is clear. If the war begins, it may be a blessing in misfortune.
Zhao Lu ordered people to set up a watchtower on the mountain. Within a month, a watchtower was set up on the bank of the Shui River. Every 20 miles, a watchtower was set up, which was far away from Zhao Lu's camp.
Because across the Shui River, the spies were not friendly. After another half month, Zhao Lu's spies replied, “General of the Feng army, whose surname is Lu, is a literati general who can only take a pen."
Zhao Lu was shocked. Unexpectedly, it was Imperial court official Lu Shi.
Xue Jun Liang sat on the Dragon chair, smiling on his face, and said, “What do you think?"
The Imperial court officials said that the Imperial court official Lu Shi was a literati. At first sight, the Feng Ming school of literati were exhausted.
Xue Jun Liang said with a cool smile: “Oh! This Zhen remembers that in the early days, Zhen also arranged for Lang Jing to go to the Shui River. In this way, has my Xue state been exhausted?"
As soon as his words came out, the Imperial court officials quickly knelt down and kowtowed, saying that he did not dare.
“Although Imperial court official Lu Shi is a literati, few people can be wise enough to defeat the enemy on the battlefield."
Xue Jun Liang nodded: “What Teng Ying said is reasonable, it's exactly what was on Zhen's mind."
Seeing the smile of the other party, Teng Yun can't help feeling his face burning up, so he quickly lowered his head. Since the wedding of the Yunfeng palace that day, although Teng Yun still heads up as the Marquis of Tengnan and participates in state affairs as usual, Xue Jun Liang looked at him with different eyes, sometimes tender, sometimes worried, which made Teng Yun not help but think of that night, the other party must think that he is asleep, then he confided.
Teng Yun didn't know. In fact, Xue Jun Liang intentionally confided his words because he knew he wasn't asleep, and then pretended he didn't know, so that he wouldn't force Teng Yun very hard, and also pierced the window paper, so that Teng Yun wouldn't be in the dark.
Xue Jun Liang looked down at Teng Yun’s reaction, and saw that his ears turned red from calm. His neck hidden in the neckline also showed red. He couldn't help feeling proud and not too much. Then he took back his eyes, turned to look at Lang Jing and said, "Lang Jing, what do you mean?"
Lang Jing said, “As you have said, the Imperial court official Lu Shi is not afraid.”
“Oh? So, Lang Jing, you've already got a chance to win? "
Lang Jing's face remained unchanged, then said: “At present, there will be no war, but if the Feng state took the lead in this war, we can be sure that the Imperial court official Lu Shi is not afraid to use his mind to set traps."
Xue Jun Liang put his head on his hand and said with a smile, "Listen carefully."
“Imperial court official Lu Shi is a literati. Literati have their own weaknesses. For example, they can't fight for most of what they believe in. For example, they are like women. Imperial court official Lu Shi doesn't know how to fight, but he doesn't want to fight. If he wanted to fight, he must use the method with the least casualties, and often it's impossible to make the best of both worlds on the battlefield."
Xue Jun Liang nodded a little, “That's right. If you want to sit in the world, how can you be a woman and a human being? Sometimes you can't bear it after a while. In exchange, more soldiers will lose their lives."
Lang Jing said: “As long as the Feng state sends the first soldier, no matter whether he is a famous teacher or not, the Imperial court official Lu Shi will surely feel guilty. At that time, the natural mind will be unable to bear it. How can he win without exerting all his strength in the battlefield?"
Xue Jun Liang said with a smile, “It's said that the Imperial court official Lu Shi is superior in intelligence, and Zhen doesn't think he can match you."
Lang Jing paused for a moment and said: “Thanks to his majesty for the great praise of the Imperial court official, it's a pity that this Imperial court official doesn't know as well as others, just knows himself and his enemy. Moreover, although Emperor Feng can get the Imperial court official Lu Shi, he doesn't know how to make his development ambition match with the man. His majesty gets the Marquis of Tengnan, but he doesn't stick to the etiquette and customs, which is the real wisdom."
He could hear the flatter, but Xue Jun Liang is extremely wise. When it came to heart, he not only praised Teng Yun, but also said the Emperor Xue is the helm.
Xue Jun Liang knew that Lang Jing flattered himself. It's all about Xue Yu's business. Although Xue Yu has been released, he still restricts his freedom and cannot go to the court.
Xue Yu also has a straight temperament. He used to sneer at Lang Jing for nothing else, just because he is his attendant. Now, Lang Jing has been able to enter and leave the military offices freely, But Xue Yu who is a lord Marquis with a real name is even being watched in secret.
Lang Jing knew the nature of Xue Yu. He is dedicated to working for Xue Yu, and naturally wanted to fight for real power for Xue Yu’s sake. Xue Jun Liang also knew.
Xue Jun Liang listened to all the people's opinions, and then ordered the next direction of things. Before he left, he said to Lang Jing with a smile, “I haven't seen the Marquis of Zhenjiang for a long time, so tell him to come to the palace with his sign."
At this time, Lang Jing showed a surprised expression, but immediately recovered his usual calm and knelt down to thank him.
Teng Yun's residence has changed from the Marquis of Tengnan's mansion to the Yunfeng palace. When going down from the court session, he will not leave the palace again. He can only go back to the Yunfeng palace. He didn't want to be stopped by Xue Jun Liang halfway. The man laughed and said, “Teng Ying doesn't need to go to the military office today, so let me go."
Teng Yun's mind has been very confused since that day. He and Xue Jun Liang's grudges for several years were unbelievable swept off. Xue Jun Liang once killed himself with an arrow, but now he confided in himself. Teng Yun did not know how to process this.
However, the other party always looked light and indifferent. He just smiled at him, sometimes they meals together, sometimes hears his own opinions, and there are no more and more big things except for the occasional cheeky kiss.
Teng Yun had something in mind, so he didn't care where Xue Jun Liang would take him. He didn't find something wrong until they reached the place.
Xue Jun Liang opened the door for Teng Yun with a smile and said: “I think Teng Ying has been in a bad mood these days, so someone has made a hot spring specially."
Teng Yun looked at the steaming jade carved steamy pool. He doesn't know whether it's caused by the heat or by Xue Jun Liang's words. He felt a feverish warmth on his face.
Xue Jun Liang saw that he had a thin face and waved away the maid who was standing by to wait on him. Jiang Yu understood that he also retreated. Before he left, he said, “If there is something wrong with his majesty, this old slave is outside."
Jiang Yu retreated to the door and closed the inner room. It was even mistier. Listening to the sound of the door, Teng Yun couldn't help shivering. He felt that his legs and stomach were a little weak, which he had never experienced when he was on the battlefield.
Teng Yun took a breath and could smell the smell of wet medicine. He thinks some nourishing herbs were added to the hot bath, which made the scene more ambiguous at this time.
Xue Jun Liang watched him staring at the water, and then walked two steps. He said with a smile, “Why, is Teng Ying moved by my thoughtfulness?"
Teng Yun suddenly felt that there was a breath hitting his ear, and he could not help shrinking his neck. Xue Jun Liang had leaned over and reached for his clothes.
When Teng Yun didn't move, Xue Jun Liang looked at his serious expression and smiled: “Don't worry, I saw that you're in a bad mood all day. I think you haven't slept well. The Imperial physician prescribed a prescription and put it in the hot bath. If you go down to soak it, I'll be there. You don't have to worry about it."
It seemed that Teng Yun didn’t come down to work with him. His heart can't help feeling a little complicated. Xu Jun Liang has already sent all the maids to serve him. At present, he and Emperor Xue are the only ones left. Does Emperor Xue want to serve him?
Xue Jun Liang helped him to take off his coat, put it on the screen, and then went to help Teng Yun untie his coat. Teng Yun took a wrong step and said, “His majesty I can do it by myself.” He said it with a tremor in his voice.
Xue Jun Liang said, “OK."
Then he turned around and seemed to be looking for something. He pretended not to look at him. Seeing Xue Jun Liang turning around, Teng Yun was relieved. He quickly removed his clothes and quickly went down the pool.
Xue Jun Liang heard the slight sound of water and said two tuts in his heart. He really regretted his pretending to be considerate. If he didn't turn around, he might be able to enjoy the scene of Teng Yun undressing.
He just turned around and sat on the big chair beside the pool, laughing: “Is the water still warm?"
Teng Yun leaned against the other end of the pool, sank his body, and kept the water below his chin. Seeing this, Xue Jun Liang wanted to laugh. Xue Jun Liang said, “Teng Ying, you don't have to hide so far. It's all water vapor here. You can't see anything at all, let alone..."
He said with an ambiguous smile and said, “What's more, if I want to see it, why do I have to spend so much time?"
Teng Yun was even more embarrassed by his tone, but moved a little bit to this side. Xue Jun Liang couldn't help laughing. “It seemed that I have caught general Teng's weakness."
Teng Yun didn’t speak or look at Xue Jun Liang. He was embarrassed when standing in the pool. Although Xue Jun Liang has nothing to say, he's always looking here. Although this kind of thing was very common in the barracks, after all, no one dares to hold this kind of mind for Teng Yun over there. Besides, what Teng Yun heard before pretending to sleep made the whole thing even more embarrassing.
Xue Jun Liang just wanted to tease Teng Yun at first. Xue Jun Liang just liked to watch Teng Yun serious face, but now he regrets it.
The fog was very heavy and the room was wet. Xu Jun Liang didn't have time to change his clothes. The heavy cloth made him sweat a lot. He heard the slight sound of water in his ear. Xu Jun Liang suddenly felt that he was begging for help.
Xue Jun Liang finally couldn't sit down. He stood up and took off his coat, which surprised Teng Yun. Subconsciously, his back tightened and watched his every move.
The water in the pool is not deep. If you stand up straight, the water can only reach below the chest. When he was nervous, Teng Yun stood up straight. Xue Jun Liang looked at his chest and coughed.
Xue Jun Liang took off his blouse, picked the crown tassels and loosened his collar, which made him feel a little cooler, but soon the heat made him sweat again.
Teng Yun looked to the man who loosening his collar and fanning. The subtle complexity in his heart came back.
Xue Jun Liang is the emperor of a country. No one dares to compete with him in the Xue state. Naturally, no one can violate his words. As an autocratic emperor, it is impossible to do this for Teng Yun without having him awed.
In particular, people like Teng Yun, if there is someone who is good to him and care for him, he will remember that person bit by bit.
Teng Yun suddenly sighed and thought to himself, thanks to Xu Jun Liang, the one who pierced his heart with one arrow at that time, if he were any other person, Teng Yun could not be relieved, even if Xue Jun Liang was better to him
Xue Jun Liang was “Tortured" by the sound of water and heat, but he has decided that as long as Teng Yun didn’t nod, he won't force it. After all, he has done something wrong before, and he doesn't want to hurt Teng Yun anymore.
Xue Jun Liang coughed again and said: “Teng Ying, you soak slowly. When the water is cooled, you tell Jiang Yu that I suddenly remember something to do..."
Before he finished speaking, he listened to Teng Yun's voice, which was almost inaudible: “His majesty... This is not necessary for his majesty to leave.”
Xue Jun Liang suddenly stopped pulling the door, turned his head to see Teng Yun, and after that, he quickly lifted a few handfuls of water on his face to sober himself up, but the water was warm, but even dizzier.
Xue Jun Liang was so happy that he would not pretend to be a sage, so he immediately removed his clothes and went to the hot pool.
Teng Yun immediately regrets his decision to death. The pool was very big and spectacular, but Xue Jun Liang wouldn't stay at the other end. He came over and gently held Teng Yun.
It's the first time for two people to look at the other person. Teng Yun retreated again and again. It's a pity that Xue Jun Liang is not as good as he would like him to be. When two people's bodies met, Xue Jun Liang obviously felt that Teng Yun was shivering. Although it's slight, it can't be suppressed.
Xue Jun Liang just hugged him, rubbed his hair with his chin, smiled and sighed, and said: “When will you understand? Till when am I going to wait... "
Teng Yun was flustered for a moment. He knew that Xue Jun Liang had something else to say, but he didn't figure out what he thought in his mind, so he could only silence and answer nothing.
Xue Jun Liang didn't ask for a reply from Teng Yun. He just grabbed his back and began to wipe him dishonestly.
Teng Yun has been soaking in the hot soup for a while. He was already soft. At this time, he is rubbed by Xu Jun Liang's palm with a hand and he felt like a little cocoon peeling. He can't help but breathe quickly.
Teng Yun is not good at this aspect of things. He has never thought about the understanding of love between men. Although he knew about Teng Shang and Xue Hou Yang, he has no idea about going to find out what happens because of his thin skin. At this time, he fell into Xue Jun Liang’s hands.
Xue Jun Liang found that Teng Yun’s response was very sensitive, which made him feel satisfied
And when Teng Yun meets this kind of thing, all the Kung Fu he has learned is forgotten. The only thing he can do is to lie in Xu Jun Liang's arms and grasp his arm, just like a straw for life.
Xue Jun Liang found that his back was tight. He smiled and comforted him. “Don't worry, I won't do anything. Are you upset?"
Before Teng Yun answered, Xue Jun Liang even grasped his lower body with one hand and jerked it slowly and tentatively.
Teng Yun was biting his lips, seizing Xue Jun Liang's arm whose strength suddenly increases, and the whole person curls up, Teng Yun looked like he was curling up in Xue Jun Liang's arms and looked extremely obedient.
Although Teng Yun didn’t act this himself for no reason in ordinary days, it's the first time Xu Jun Liang saw such obedience. Suddenly, there was a hot and dry feeling in his heart. It seemed that the pool water became hot.
Xue Jun Liang saw that he didn't struggle with the other person, and he gradually accelerated his hand holding at the first place of the private. He could even hear the hum from the corner of Teng Yun's mouth.
Teng Yun felt that his brain was blank and his body had not listened to his orders. He was completely dominated by Xue Jun Liang. His fast feeling of sour and numbness seemed to make him only grasp Xue Jun Liang. He could do nothing else.
Xue Jun Liang was proud of it. Suddenly, he felt a stabbing pain on his neck. Teng Yun even has a red tail, and his eyes were confused and he bit Xue Jun Liang’s neck.
Although Xue Jun Liang didn’t mind this kind of thing, it was also a good feeling to let Teng Yun lose control of his emotions, but Xu Jun Liang silently thought that if he bit this kind of place, he may not be able to hide it with his collar.
After Teng Yun let out a vent, Xue Jun Liang helped him clean his body. Fortunately, Teng Yun was also thin and not too heavy. Xue Jun Liang carried him out of the hot pool, dried his body, and when everything was done, Teng Yun just came back to his senses, and wanted to speak, but because of the things which he whined just now, his voice was a little hard, and his mouth turned a little hoarse.
Xue Jun Liang knew that he was thin skinned. If he teased him at this time, it would backfire. He just said, "Put on your clothes quickly, or you will get cold."
Teng Yun recalled that just now, he saw the bite marks on Xue Jun Liang's neck. It's not just blushing, so he quickly put the clean clothes aside.
Jiang Yu waited outside for a long time before he saw the door open. Emperor Xue seemed to be in a good mood. He said: "Zhen seemed to remember, did the Marquis of Zhenjiang deliver the sign just now? Is he here?"
Jiang Yu wiped his sweat and said: “Here he is, here is Lord Marquis has been waiting for a while.”
