The Ugly Empress, Chapter 74,
vol 2 Chapter 28: Fangs
When Teng Shang returned to the capital, Xue Chang Jing did not know that his younger brothers had betrayed and gave away his military power.
As soon as Xue Hou Yang heard that Teng Shang had arrived in the capital, he immediately asked people to prepare horses to go out of the Marquis's mansion, and quickly went to the outskirts to meet Teng Shang.
Teng Yun heard that Teng Shang was back in the palace. Now, he asked Rui Xue to prepare casual clothes and go out to meet Teng Shang.
Rui Xue smiles and said, “My good master, what are you going to do?"
Teng Yun said: “It's natural to go to meet Lord Teng. He has the right to receive troops in Zheng’an alone. I can't rest assured. Now he came back..."
Before he finished speaking, Rui Xue interrupted him, “Master, don't you know that the Marquis of Wannian has gone there already?"
Seeing Teng Yun’s confused face, Rui Xue sighed and laughed: “I'm not in the way of meeting him... or am you?"
After Teng Yun was stunned, he was embarrassed and said, “It's still your thoughtfulness."
“It's not that your servant thought carefully, it's that you didn't think about it at all, master. Poor emperor, he has been invincible all his life, but he fell into your hands."
Teng Yun heard him talk about Xue Jun Liang. At first, he didn't understand. Later, he thought that Rui Xue was laughing at his own dullness and didn't understand Xue Jun Liang's feelings.
How can Teng Yun not understand? Xue Jun Liang has made his words so clear. He knew. But on the one hand, Teng Yun has a gap in his heart. On the other hand, because of his thin skin, he is unwilling to think about it. It's only natural for him.
Rui Xue sighed this time and said: “Master, although some words are not for the maidservant to say, this maidservant still wanted to remind the master... Don't regret things when they can't be saved. Some feelings are not allowed to be talked about, but they are reasonable."
Teng Yun knew that he was referring to Zhao Lu and Feng Ming and said, “I always want to hear about their accidents, but I don't know how to ask you. Would you like to say that?"
“There's no story," Rui Xue said. “It's just nature making fool of people."
Rui Xue paused for a long time and said: “This maidservant followed General Zhao Lu later, but the general believed in the maidservant. Maybe it was the Feng state emperor. If there was no one to talk to, this maidservant would be an ear. When the general was a child, he lived near the Shui River with his father and mother. After a period of civil strife in the Feng state, Emperor Feng was still the crown prince at that time. When he fled, he hid in the Zhao Family's house for refuge. Later, the general's parents were chased by the Feng state's soldiers and those who were implicated were killed. These things are petty and stale gossips. The general has only mentioned them once and never said them again. It's just this servant can see that the general was very concerned about his family. Even if Emperor Feng didn't mean it, it was because of him that the General lost his parents and became an orphan."
Teng Yun said, “If it was me, I would get revenge."
Rui Xue nodded: “A man without father or mother is the most suitable person to be a spy, and so are his maidservants. Although this maidservant is a female, but these so-called pain, the maidservant has never tasted less of them, and naturally knows everything. Later, the maidservant was sent to the general, and then because of her ability to speak, she often talked about the general's affairs with Emperor Feng around Emperor Feng. "
Rui Xue can see that although Emperor Feng is ruthless, he is sincere to Zhao Lu.
Teng Yun said, “I think Emperor Feng treated Zhao Lu so well, and General Zhao couldn't bear it."
Rui Xue said with a smile, “That's why it's said that nature made a fool of people. You, master should cherish emperor's feelings for you. There are many things that can't be taken if you miss them. No matter how much you regret, you have to rush to the end."
Feng Ming looked at the map for a long time, reached out his hand and rubbed his forehead. In recent days, because he had to prepare for the military affairs, he did everything himself, and his brain was tired. Only when he was tired to the point where he could not be tired, could he not think of something that could not be thought or should not be thought of.
Feng Ming held his head, felt sleepy. He seemed to remember the times when he was young, because the Imperial father had many children, he was often ostracized. He had a ruthless look since he was a child. When he escaped from the Shui River, he knew what family love was for the first time.
Although the Zhao's family was not rich, the three members of the family were really happy. They took Feng Ming as their added member.
When Feng Ming became Emperor Feng, he saw Zhao Lu at the first sight of the patrol barracks. At that time, Zhao Lu spirit was flourishing, standing among many soldiers, he was tall and different. Feng Ming didn't think there was anything like it. He had many concubines at that time.
Later, because of the training, Feng Ming met the general of the heroic spirit again, but what he didn't expect was that he was the son of Zhao Family. He clearly remembered the fangs. Because the soldiers were wearing armor before, he didn't see the fangs on his neck.
Feng Ming immediately recalled the past. He concealed his identity and killed the Zhao's family. He didn't expect to see the playmate who was close to his age many years later.
Feng Ming didn't have the heart to reuse Zhao Lu, but he didn't dare to tell Zhao Lu that because he was afraid that Zhao Lu would hate him for remembering that and just wanted to make up for it in silence.
Because Emperor Feng favored a small soldier, the Imperial court gradually heard that Emperor Feng is a man lover. There is a new favorite named Zhao Lu, who is a young officer.
Feng Ming didn't pay attention at first. The Imperial court always heard these intolerable gossip. He had been used to it for a long time, but he didn't expect that later Zhao Lu gradually showed his admiration for himself.
Zhao Lu misunderstood the rumors. He wanted to take a shortcut to get the trust of Emperor Feng, which naturally is the thing between the bedrooms that gets the most trust.
Feng Ming was half guilty, half freshened by the male to male bed stuff, and just let the rumors go wild. But he didn't expect that on his birthday, everyone was drunk. Zhao Lu even forced Feng Ming in spite of Feng Ming's resistance.
Since then, the relationship between the two people has become weird. Gradually, the bedtime affair has become a common occurrence for the two people. Rumors have become true. Feng Ming found that his guilt has gradually changed. Zhao Lu is hard to remove in his heart.
Feng Ming suddenly woke up in a cold sweat. He wiped the sweat off his forehead with his sleeve, took a deep breath, and felt the beaded chain from his sleeve.
He still remembered that he asked Zhao Lu for the fangs. He just said that he thought the fangs were fun. He saw Zhao Lu wearing them every day, so he wanted to exchange keepsakes.
At first, Zhao Lu didn't give it to Feng Ming because he had a cold war with Feng Ming. Feng Ming knew that it was his parents' relic and didn't mention it again. But the next day, Zhao Lu came to find him and gave Feng Ming the fangs.
Feng Ming was happy. At that time, he didn't even think that Zhao Lu was the spy of the Xue state. He thought that Zhao Lu had figured out his mind. It was just that the other party wanted to exchange his trust.
Feng Ming reached for the tooth and couldn't help his nose going sour. He remembered everything and was waiting for revenge. He was only responsible for his credulity and why he escaped to his house.

Xue Hou Yang met the Teng Shang’s horses and carriages in the suburb. The next man outside said, “Lord Teng, it's the Marquis of Wannian."
Teng Shang pulled at the curtain of his carriage and said with a smile, "Lord Marquis is here alone to meet me?"
Xue Hou Yang was embarrassed by what he said. Teng Shang asked him to give the horse to his servant and then got into the carriage.
Xue Chang Jing prepared the trip. Although there is no place for Emperor Xue, it is absolutely not shabby and comfortable to sit.
Teng Shang took a brocade box out of the cupboard, opened it and handed it to Xue Hou Yang.
When Xue Hou Yang saw it, he was immediately surprised and said, “Lord Teng, you really got the seal!"
Teng Shang, “It's still a fake. It's just a few dolls. It's easy to fool."
Xue Hou Yang looked at the talisman and was almost too happy to close his mouth. He just giggled and then thought of something. He said, “The Marquis of Tengnan has been back to the Imperial capital for a while."
“I know. It bothers you."
Teng Shang said, “Although we have got the amulet, it depends on what you do to win the hearts of the Zheng'an army."
“Emperor Xue has released Teng Xin as a general, waiting for the arrival of the Lord Marquis to join the Zheng'an army."
Teng Shang nodded and said, “I've thought of it for a long time. Teng Xin is a rare talent, especially knowing how to advance and retreat, if not..."
If Emperor Teng didn’t lose his mind in love affairs, he went to abandon the crown prince and set up another one. Teng Xin knew that he was not far from death when he is abandoned. Which crown prince can tolerate the heroic former crown prince? If not, how can Teng Xin raise his arms rashly?
But these are old things about the Teng state, and Teng Shang is not willing to mention them again.
Xue Hou Yang understood Teng Shang’s thoughts and said: “Don't worry, Lord Teng. Emperor Xue has already started to prepare for the war. He will certainly be able to accept the army's heart. Besides, the Marquis of Tengnan has the ability. Lord Teng must know that the emperor means to let the Marquis of Tengnan take charge of the military power of Zheng'an."
Teng Shang said with a smile, “You've asked a lot."
Xue Hou Yang giggled for a while, knowing that Teng Shang cared about these things, and naturally asked for his peace of mind.
Teng Shang looked at him and smiled, put the brocade box back in the cupboard, and said: “The princess of Feng state left because she couldn't help the insulting on her. If the princess married Lord Marquis, I'm afraid there will be no such things right now, right?"
Xue Hou Yang listened to him suddenly saying this. He tensed his nerves and said, “How can I marry the princess? Lord Teng does understand."
Teng Shang raised his eyebrow and smiled. He suddenly reached out his hand and pushed Xue Hou Yang on the soft blanket. He attached himself on him and said with a smile, “I hear people often say that a little farewell rekindle feeling from a new lover. I don't know if there is a new lover in Lord Marquis these days."
“Of course not."
“Is Lord Marquis suffering from blockage?"
Xue Hou Yang looked at the face close to the other person, his heart was almost out of his cavity, and said, “Lord Teng how can you tease me as soon as you come back?"
Teng Shang said, “How can I tease you?"
As he said this, he grasped Xue Hou Yang's wrist and held his hand down. Xue Hou Yang was stunned and looked at Teng Shang in surprise.
Teng Shang went on, “To be honest, I've suffered a lot of blockage."
Xue Hou Yang is naturally ecstatic. With an effort on his waist, he suddenly took Teng Shang under his body. The two of them folded together. Xue Hou Yang kissed the corner of his mouth and said, "Naturally, I missed you, I just hope you will come back soon, but I'm afraid you will miss it."
“We are in the carriage," said Teng Shang in a soft voice. "Lord Marquis isn't afraid to be heard by people outside?"
Xue Hou Yang said with a curl of his mouth, “Lord Teng didn't you mean to tease me while we were in the said carriage?"
Teng Shang purposely raised a leg, gently rubbed under Xue Hou Yang with his knee, and smiled, “But I just want to do it the carriage, OK?"
It was already afternoon when they entered the palace. It was rare that Teng Shang also followed them into the palace. They didn't give the Tiger Army Deployment Seal directly to Xue Hou Yang to finish the work.
When they were in the carriage, because Teng Shang was afraid that people outside would hear them, he naturally didn't dare to speak loudly, but Xue Hou Yang was so irritated by him that it didn't matter. He made Teng Shang’s whole body feel like it was going to break up, and Teng Shang won't dare to irritate him again next time.
They went back to the marquis mansion to clean up and hurried into the palace.
Xu Jun Liang and Teng Yun were in the Emperor’s Library. Xue Xiang asked Jiang Yu to set up a seat for them.
Teng Shang's voice was hoarse, and he obviously doesn't feel right when he sat down. Xue Jun Liang naturally saw it, but Teng Yun didn’t think about it. He also cared about Teng Shang: “Lord Teng have you got wind chill?"
Teng Shang's face was little red which was rare, and Xue Hou Yang felt like he was seen through, but Xue Jun Liang smiled.
Xue Jun Liang said: "Let's get back to the point. Since the Tiger Army Deployment Seal has been obtained, we can grasp it more when we fight with the Feng state."
Teng Yun nodded: “As far as the garrison is concerned, Zheng'an is the nearest to the Shui River. As long as Zheng'an can send troops, we will attack the Shui River from two directions with horns, which will win more."
Xue Jun Liang nodded, “And it will be a surprise."
Teng Shang watched them respond to each other. It seemed that other people can’t get a word. Teng Yun has a talent for the art of war. He was very excited about the art of war. He has many original opinions. Xue Jun Liang is a good listener. Naturally, he was very harmonious.
The four of them saw the Zheng'an army. At present, they are still silent. They let the Feng state think that Zheng'an is still the military power of the fiefdom. It is impossible for them to send large forces, so they relaxed their vigilance against Zheng'an. At that time, they unexpectedly sent troops to reinforce the front line.
The next step is to confer and send troops.
After the discussion, Teng Shang proposed to speak to Xue Jun Liang alone. Xu Hou Yang and Teng Yun both withdrew unexpectedly.
The Emperor’s Library is a place where the monarch convenes the Imperial court officials to discuss important matters, so the sound insulation effect was very good. After the door is closed, people outside can't hear what is said inside.
Xue Jun Liang said with a smile, “It's hard for Lord Teng to enter the palace. He's in good health. My younger brother just doesn't know the importance of taking it easy. I want you to take care of him in the future."
“The Marquis of Wannian and I are responsible for each other. After all, he is also responsible for the other person."
This sentence seemed to poke at the pain on Xue Jun Liang. Xue Hou Yang and Teng Shang are also on the same page. They respect the other person and have deep feelings. Unlike he and Teng Yun, he is still in the stage of initiating Teng Yun.
Teng Shang “If you don't lie in front of real people, I think Emperor Xue and I are tired of talking like this, so I have the courage to say it directly."
"Naturally speaking."
Teng Shang smiled and said: “There are some things that I think Emperor Xue is wise. I've known for a long time. I've grown up with Teng Yun. No one knew his nature better than me. Teng Yun is loyal and benevolent. As an uncle, I naturally wanted him to find a wife and sire generation of children to treat him well. "
Xue Jun Liang listened to Teng Shang's emphasis on the word “Women" and restrained his smile, “Lord Teng, please go on, I'm listening."
“However, people have their own aspirations. I will never object to what Teng Yun likes," said Teng Shang. Teng Yun didn’t know anything about it at all. Since someone planned a trap for him to jump, and he jumped willingly, “I have no objection to it. I just want to tell this person that as the emperor, he may succeed, but if he doesn't do enough to treat Teng Yun I'm not satisfied with what he did one day. I'm likely to persuade Teng Yun to find another mate. "
Xue Jun Liang laughed and said: "No wonder someone once told me that Shang Xiang has sharp teeth and sharp mouth. I learned it today. You are the first one to threaten Zhen, but..."
He paused for a moment and said: “I can swear to heaven that Teng Yun is my Xue Jun Liang's person and no matter what life it is, it will not change... Naturally, I'd like to ask about it like Hou Yang, how did he make the special meat eater's sly and treacherous person also take care of his heart. Don't worry, Lord Teng."
Both of them took advantage of the other person once, but Teng Shang was very satisfied with Xue Jun Liang's attitude towards Teng Yun.
Teng Shang turned to open the door and walked away. “Teng Yun should have been born on the battlefield. You don't have to lock him in the palace to pamper him. Maybe it's a good thing to let him out."
Xue Jun Liang nodded, “I know."
Teng Shang just opened the door. Xue Hou Yang and Teng Yun were outside. Seeing Teng Shang coming out, Xue Hou Yang said, “Lord Teng can we go back?"
Teng Shang nodded, "Let's go. It's not early."
Teng Yun watched the two men leave. Turning around, he saw Xue Jun Liang beckoning to him to sign for his passing.
When Teng Yun walked into the Emperor’s Library, Xue Jun Liang said with a smile, “Do you know what we are talking about?"
Teng Yun shook his head. “Of course I don't know."
Xue Jun Liang changed the subject and said with a smile, “Do you know why Teng Shang is not comfortable?"
Teng Yun shook his head again. Xue Jun Liang held his head in one hand and beckoned him to come closer. Two steps closer to Teng Yun, Xu Jun Liang dragged him to sit on his leg.
Xue Jun Liang held his waist in one hand, and stroked his back down slowly in the other hand until he touched Teng Yun’s groin. Teng Yun's face burned and he wanted to get up.
But heard Xue Jun Liang: “Because they did something like this, so..."
Teng Yun just understood, and immediately went stiff. He thought that he had just asked Teng Shang whether he was ill or not. He had an impulse to knock himself to death on the desk. He was really stupid. No wonder everyone reacted so well at that time.
Xue Jun Liang pulled his collar and their lips got stuck together. Xue Jun Liang laughed and said, “When shall we do these things too?"
Teng Yun couldn't help his teasing. He didn't know what to say. Xue Jun Liang naturally didn't want him to answer himself. For a while, only ambiguous kissing sounds were left in the Emperor’s Library.
