This is an anti-theft stamp to fight against the text machine. The girl who jumped, don't be anxious, you will see the main text later!
If you don't count the wrist that is chained to the head of the bed,
This treatment is not bad.
"Young Master,
You're awake? "Round face and big eyes,
A petite girl entered the room with a bowl of medicine,
She smiled and said, "The doctor also said that he woke up around this time,
So this servant went to boil the medicine. Oh right,
Young master can call this servant Little Peach. "
She put down the bowl of medicine,
She raised Qin Song's head a little higher,
She said, "Young Master had a fever last night,
This is the medicine prescribed by the doctor. Come, this servant will feed you. "
It was now the cold of spring, and Qin Song was tormented for so long in a single layer of clothes,
He was even splashed with water a few times. It would be strange if he was not sick. He frowned and asked, "Where is this place?"
Little Peach said in surprise, "This is the palace,
Young master, don't you know? That's right,
Young master was sick yesterday and was dizzy... "
She smiled sweetly and said, "Yesterday, the king personally arranged for you, young master. Please be sure to cure your injury... this servant has been here for three to four years,
I have never seen the king be so attentive to anyone! "
Qin Song did not comment,
She took two sips from Xiao Tao's hand and frowned. 'It's just a tiny spoon.'
She fed two mouthfuls and even wiped the corner of her mouth.
How long was she going to feed him — this kind of drinking medicine,
He would rather be pinched by the neck and forced to drink.
Just as he was about to ask for another method, Little Peach saw his frown and her eyes were already red. She said in panic, "I, I'm sorry, it's all this servant's fault, this servant..."
Before she could finish speaking, a chuckle came from outside the door, with a hint of doting, "What, you just woke up and you're already throwing a tantrum?"
Qin Song suddenly felt his hair stand on end.
Qin Yue, dressed in a black robe, pushed the door open and sat by his bed, saying, "Do you want me to feed you personally?"
Qin Song pulled the iron chain on his wrist and said with a smile that was not a smile, "I prefer to drink it myself."
Qin Yue picked up the bowl of medicine and stirred it gently. He said softly, "People should be content with what they have, don't you think so?"
Qin Song was speechless. When Qin Yue offered him the spoon, he opened his mouth and took it. He wanted to see if he would get impatient from drinking or if Qin Yue would get impatient from feeding him first.
Qin Yue had never taken care of anyone in his entire life. After feeding him three or four times, he saw that the medicine in the bowl only dropped a little bit. He was a little irritated, but when he saw that the young man was calm and unruffled, as if he had expected him to be like this, he snorted coldly and continued.
The two of them didn't utter a single word and drank the bowl of medicine as if they were competing with each other. Qin Song didn't have any taste in his mouth, and Qin Yue also felt that the hand holding the tiny spoon had stiffened.
Only Little Peach stared blankly, thinking, "The king treats my young master so well!"
When he finally finished drinking, Qin Song let out a sigh of relief. But when he turned around, he saw Qin Yue reaching out to wipe the corner of his mouth, so he turned his head away in disgust.
"Are you still angry?" Qin Yue smiled good-naturedly and raised his chin to indicate, "I dipped it in the medicine."
Qin Song couldn't be counted on, and he didn't want to trouble Qin Yue, so he simply stuck out the tip of his tongue and gently licked it.
The action of sticking out one's tongue wasn't something that looked good for everyone. Children sticking out their little tongues were extremely cute, but if it was a fat and wide tongue, it would only make people lose their appetite.
But the tip of the youth's tongue was thin and small, and its color was pink and tender. When it deftly licked the tender and soft lips, it left behind an enticing luster … Qin Yue suddenly felt that his breathing was somewhat irregular.
Qin Song turned his face to the side and turned his wound, which was covered by a thin layer of gauze, towards Qin Yue. If he didn't know his own limits, he would have kicked him. How could there be such a beast in the world who would go into heat at any time and place!
Didn't they say that he collected all kinds of beauties in the palace? Why did he look like he would go into heat at the sight of a sow?
Qin Yue frowned and took the tea offered by Little Peach. He slowly drank it and said, "This humble one has asked a godly doctor to take a look at your injury. Although I don't dare to say that it will completely disappear, it won't be a problem to treat most of it. It's just that the medicine is extremely numb and itchy, and I'm afraid that you'll accidentally touch it, so I'm temporarily restricting your movements. When you're better, I'll let you go. Don't think too much. "
How could Qin Song not hear the threat in Qin Yue's words?
The injury on his face couldn't protect him for the rest of his life. Even if it couldn't be cured, as long as he could appear in front of people alive and kicking, this matter would naturally be considered over. As for what would happen in the future, wouldn't it be up to Qin Yue to decide? Not to mention anything else, if he were to be placed in the palace like this and put on a show of pampering, who would believe that he was innocent? The scholars of the world would no longer see him as one of their own. In the future, no matter what Qin Yue did to him, no one would stand up for him.
Qin Song sneered and said, "Your Majesty is so busy every day, yet you still have to worry about the trivial injury of a foreign official. It's really hard on you."
You're the dignified ruler of the most powerful country in the world, yet you've wronged yourself to put on a show of gentleness just to frame me, a follower of a country's hostage who has no weight to the world. You really have too much time on your hands.
After the scene in prison, no matter what he said, Qin Yue would always think about it in his mind first. He almost immediately understood what he meant, and his expression became slightly serious. Recently, he seemed to have put too much thought into this young man, and he didn't have the mood to enjoy himself like he did in the past.
Seeing this, Qin Song smiled faintly and said, "I don't know if Your Majesty has ever heard of a saying: if you tell a lie a thousand times, even you will believe it to be true. Your Majesty, you must not overdo your acting and become a joke."
Qin Yue said, "I'm willing to act with you. Shouldn't you be overjoyed?"
Wasn't this the reason why they, the so-called hostages, came to Western Qin from thousands of li away?
Qin Song also didn't understand why he would suddenly run to Daqin. He pursed his lips and didn't say anything else.
Qin Yue stood up and said, "I still have government affairs. I'll come see you tomorrow."
He then said, "If there's anything you want to eat or play, just say it. Even if the palace doesn't have it, I'll send someone to find it for you outside."
Qin Song didn't answer, and Qin Yue didn't care. He turned and left.
After sending off Qin Yue, Little Peach patted her chest and finally felt alive. She said with envy, "Young master, the king is really good to you. Please don't fight with the king anymore …"
Qin Song's face darkened and he didn't say anything. Little Peach hurriedly closed her mouth and said, "This servant will bring you some porridge."
*****
Qin Yue, who said he would come tomorrow, didn't show up for several days. Qin Song was happy with the peace and quiet. He ordered Little Peach to find some miscellaneous books for him to read. However, the iron chain around his wrist was too tight, so he could only sit and lie down, and let Little Peach help him flip through the books. Qin Song became impatient after reading for half an hour. He asked Little Peach to help him find someone who could read.
Little Peach hesitated for a long time before she gathered her courage and reported it. Someone who could read was an amazing person. How could they read for someone, especially someone of such status?
However, Qin Yue's words still counted. Not long after, he really sent a maid who could read. However, the maid's voice was gentle and calm. Qin Song often fell asleep while listening to her.
Qin Song's sleep quality was very poor. He didn't know what medicine Qin Yue gave him, but his wounds felt like they were being gnawed by ants. He could endure it when he was awake, but when he fell asleep, he felt unbearably itchy all over his body.
It was also because he had acted too naturally during the day. If Xiao Tao and the other two hadn't seen him frowning and biting his lips in pain when he slept, they would have thought that the Godly Doctor's words were too exaggerated.
That day, Qin Song was drowsy from listening to a travel story. Little Peach happily came in to report, "Young master, someone has come to see you!"
Qin Song was slightly stunned. Then, he heard a familiar voice from outside. The voice was warm and genial, "Qin Song, Her Highness and I have come to see you!"
When the two words "Her Highness" entered his ears, Qin Song felt his heart beating uncontrollably. He subconsciously got up, but was pulled back by the iron chain.
Qiu Yun lifted the curtain and saw his sorry appearance. Her heart ached. She lowered her head and pretended not to see, moving to the side to let the person behind her go first.
Qin Song was completely unaware. He looked at the person who came in and said, "Your Highness …"
Yi An was dressed in a white robe. Her skin was like jade, her facial features were exquisite, and her temperament was cold to the point of being piercingly cold. After entering the room, she nodded and sat down on a chair in front of the bed. Her gaze swept over the iron chain in Qin Song's hands and she said, "The King Of Qin said that it is convenient to extend medical treatment in the palace. Once you have recovered, you will be released back to the hostage residence … Rest well!"
Qin Song nodded and let Little Peach and the others wait outside. They chatted for a while. Qiu Yun hesitated for a moment and said, "I heard that the injury on your face was caused by yourself …"
Qin Song responded with a hum.
Qiu Yun's lips moved slightly, but in the end, it turned into a sigh.
It was said that everyone had their own aspirations. In this world, there were people who were willing to endure humiliation to protect their country, and there were also people who would rather die than be humiliated … Who could say that someone's choice was wrong?
He and Her Highness had been humiliated, but looking at the King Of Qin's seemingly doting but actually disrespectful attitude, who dared to say that they would compromise just because they were wronged?
Qin Song had been tortured and disfigured, but wasn't he still locked up in the harem? Who dared to say that he would rather die than submit?
The room fell silent for a moment. After a moment, Yi An said, "When this matter is over, you should return to Da Chu. I will report to Father in advance."
Qin Song looked up in shock, "Your Highness, I …"
He didn't know why, but he felt as if his whole person had been split in half. On one hand, his reason told him that it was right for him to return, and that it was the best for everyone, but on the other hand, there seemed to be a voice desperately screaming in his heart: If I leave, what will happen to Her Highness? How can I leave her alone in this dangerous place to be bullied?
Yi An interrupted him, "It's decided. You don't need to say anymore … Qin Song, you are not suitable to stay here."
He then said, "Rest well and recover. We will come back to see you in a few days."
He got up and walked out.
Perhaps when Qin Song rose up to resist, they were no longer on the same side, and there was not much to say to each other.
In front of him, how should he act? Angry at him for not seeing the big picture? Admiring him for not submitting to death? Or disliking him for being dirty and cowardly?
"Your Highness!" Qin Song called out to the two people who were about to leave. He smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, do you really think that what we are doing is meaningful?"
Yi An's hand that was about to lift the curtain stopped, but he didn't turn around.
Qin Song said, "We came to Daqin because we didn't want to go to war. But are we really the ones who are afraid of war now?"
Yi An's breath quickened. Qin Song continued, "People need to digest what they eat, and it's the same for countries … Daqin destroyed three countries. The people of those three countries haven't given in yet, and their territories are still not peaceful. They need to guard and pacify their territories, and they also need to prevent the Northern Qi from taking the opportunity to invade the south … Daqin seems to be at its peak now, but it is actually at its weakest. Shouldn't they be the ones who are afraid of war now?"
"The King Of Qin can destroy three countries in one breath. How can he be a mediocre person? Who knows if he is pretending to be addicted to war to stall for time? When he stabilizes his territory, he will wipe us out in one fell swoop?" Qin Song said, "Your Highness, we are entangled with the King Of Qin here. Are we the ones who are entangled with him, or are we the ones who are entangled with him …"
"Shut up! Shut up! " Yi An shouted. His chest heaved up and down violently, and his hand that was holding the curtain trembled slightly. After a while, he gradually calmed down and lifted the curtain without saying a word.
"Your Highness …" Qin Song had just said the word "Your Highness" when he heard someone greeting Qin Yue outside the door, so he silently shut his mouth.
Linno knew what he was talking about and said, "I will take care of it."
His eyes fell on Hu Zi, and he was a little sad. "So what if I kill these people? The pain of losing a family member will not be reduced at all. If I am already like this, what about my parents and brothers? "
It was a pity that he didn't know how to resurrect the dead, nor did he have the ability to transcend the Buddhist reincarnation. He would only be sad here, so he turned around and disappeared in front of everyone.
When he reached a place where there was no one, Linno formed a spell. A shadow of a jade sword appeared in the air, and it gradually became real. Then, it turned from one to ten, ten to a hundred, and flew in all directions.
This thing was called the Sword Book. The name was quite grand, but its function was much worse than the mobile phone Linno used in his previous life. The function that Linno used just now, in his own words, was to send a group message without a specific target. Any self-cultivator who was close to this place and had a certain level of cultivation would be able to receive it.
If it was as he expected, once this thing was released, the sects that those people belonged to would be wiped out immediately. This was also what he had promised Dog's father.
Two thousand years ago, the Heavenly Dao Alliance gathered all the Daoist sects in the world and made a vow in front of the Heavenly Dao Mirror. They set the rules for immortals and mortals. Anyone who killed mortals without reason would be punished by the world. After this vow was made, the spiritual energy in the world became much more obedient, and the heavenly tribulations also became much gentler. The few mighty figures in the Soul Formation Stage who led this matter were even more meritorious. Originally, there was only a slim chance of survival, but they were only lightly struck by a few bolts of heavenly lightning.
Since then, the oath of all the cultivators in the world was added to the rule that they were not allowed to kill mortals. Occasionally, there would be a few fish that escaped the net, but they were often deliberately reared by others.
This was because after all the Daoist sects in the world made a vow to the Heavenly Dao and obtained the approval of the Heavenly Dao, they would be able to protect mortals and kill those who killed mortals. This would give them meritorious deeds. During the tribulation, this was more useful than any natural treasure. In the past, wherever a cultivator who broke the vow appeared, he would be hunted down and killed.
When the supply of wild monsters could not meet the demand, some people began to raise them. They found a remote place and supported a small sect to hide from the vow. Although they were afraid of karma and did not dare to directly let them kill innocent people, they could intentionally or unintentionally let them be arrogant. When the time came, they would be killed for the purpose of transcending the tribulation.
Previously, when Linno heard that their entire sect was like this, he knew that they must have been reared by others. Now that he had sent out the sword letter, the Immortal Gate that reared them would definitely harvest them immediately. Otherwise, when people from the outside came to snatch their heads, they would lose everything.
These poor guys who thought that they were high and mighty immortals were just livestock that were raised in a pen and waiting to be slaughtered during the New Year.
"It's a pity that I can't stay in this place." Lin Nuo sighed. He was too lazy to walk on foot if it was too far away, so he took out a Small Teleportation Talisman from his spatial artifact. This thing could teleport him 500 miles away. He looked at the stars and determined the direction. "This way!"
After a moment of dizziness, Linno landed at the bottom of a cliff. The lake was quiet, the birds were singing, and the flowers were fragrant. The scenery was actually quite good. However, after he was injured, his spiritual sense was limited. He could not sense if there was anyone nearby, and he did not know where he was.
Just now, he had taken the Small Transference Talisman, but secretly used the Big Heaven and Earth Talisman. When the two talismans were first activated, they were somewhat similar. By the time he realized the difference, it would be too late to stop him. This could be considered his specialty. Even if others thought of using it, they would not be able to afford it. The Big Heaven and Earth Talisman was too expensive.
Of course, expensive had its benefits. Although the Big Heaven and Earth Talisman could not preset the direction and position, and the distance was random, it was not limited by the environment. Furthermore, no matter how close it was, it would be much further than the Small Transference Talisman.
Linno leaned against the cliff and sat down. He hoped that he had run far enough. This was his last Big Heaven and Earth Talisman.
He also hoped that he was thinking too much.
He felt a little uneasy. Just now, when he was at Huer's house, he clearly felt that there was some fluctuation in the surrounding aura. There should be an expert hiding. If it was not a coincidence, then it could only be him. If it was the latter, he could only hope that this Big Heaven and Earth Talisman could shake off that person. With his current ability, he could only bully the younger generation. If an expert really came, he would not be able to run fast enough.
Too many things had happened today. Linno looked up at the sky full of stars and sighed softly. There were only two months left. Why couldn't he spend it peacefully?
In the next moment, Linno's expression changed abruptly. He groaned and struggled to stand up. However, he staggered and bumped into the bluestone in front of him. "Huoer! Huoer! "
There was a hint of sweetness in her voice.
Linno gritted his teeth and did not say another word. He rushed into the pool. In the next moment, Huoer leaped out from between his eyebrows. The pool water instantly became bone-chillingly cold. However, it was still unable to resist the waves of emotions that seemed to come from the soul. An unbearable itch and emptiness came from the indescribable parts of his body. Every inch of his skin was crazily clamoring, craving to be warm, caressed, and squeezed …
Want … Want … Want …
"Ugh!" Lin Nuo let out a muffled groan and slammed into the cliff. Rocks fell with a splash and smashed into his body. Other than pain, there was also numbness, causing him to tremble all over again. It was unbearable as he slammed into the cliff …
After an unknown period of time, Linno came ashore exhausted. He staggered two steps and fell. He knelt on the ground and panted for a long time before he slowly sat down. He muttered to himself in a low voice, "Fang Tuo?"
A low voice answered, "Yes."
Thus, Linno did not say anything else.
He was used to the System's tricks and trusted its credibility too much. Thus, whenever something went wrong, he would subconsciously blame it on the System. However, he completely forgot that these two times were clearly the symptoms of the Thousand Threads Gu that Fang Tuo had planted in his body.
Fang Tuo squatted down and stuffed a pill into Lin Nuo's mouth. He cast a spell to get rid of the water vapor on Lin Nuo's body. He then took off his cloak and draped it over Lin Nuo's body before sitting down a foot away.
Linno tilted his head and did not look at him. He was also too lazy to speak.
The male lead-sama was now famous, so the medicine he took out was naturally good. Linno quickly recovered his strength. He took out a jar of Burning Knife Medicine from his space and sat on a rock to drink it.
He didn't think of running again. He had already used up his last Vast Heaven and Earth Talisman. Even if he didn't use it, since that person didn't even care about the Heart Demon Oath and activated the Thousand Threads Gu, even if he hid at the ends of the world, he would still be found.
In this life, Linno had the looks, the family background, and the aptitude. However, he hid among the mortals for hundreds of years. Other than being seriously injured, he did not want to see Fang Tuo.
Although it had been hundreds of years, he still couldn't understand how things had turned out this way between him and Fang Tuo! Was the male lead intermittently crazy or did he violate his character settings?
If he did not count the novels he read in his previous life, he really was not familiar with Fang Tuo.
He could count the number of times he met Fang Tuo with his fingers.
The first time was when they broke off the engagement. He almost completely let the housekeeper show his face. After the matter was settled, he said a few words and they could barely be considered acquaintances.
The second time was when they had a group fight at the entrance of a secret realm. Although he and Fang Tuo were on the same side, Linno did not even look at him, let alone talk to him.
The third time was when he was drinking and eating crabs at Pan Yang Lake. He happened to meet Fang Tuo and Fang Tuo gave him a jar of good wine. Although he drank a little too much, he still remembered the motto to stay away from the male lead. He said "thank you" and turned to leave in a drunken state.
Later on, the two of them met twice at the Cultivator Bazaar. However, when going to that kind of place, many people would disguise themselves, and Fang Tuo was no exception. Thus, Lin Nuo pretended not to know him and brushed past him.
Until the sixth time they met, he and Fang Tuo only spoke a total of three sentences. They could barely be considered acquaintances. Unfortunately, the sixth time they met was unlucky.
He had nothing to do and went to the Endless Sea for a stroll. Coincidentally, he met Fang Tuo and a Banjiao fighting. At that time, Fang Tuo was not as powerful as he was now. Obviously, he was not the Banjiao's opponent. The most troublesome thing was that he seemed to be running out of spiritual power and was about to be swallowed by the snake.
Not to mention that he and Fang Tuo could be considered acquaintances, even if he met someone who was about to be eaten by a wild beast, Linno would not just stand by and watch. Therefore, he did not even think about it and went to help. Although Linno was not the Banjiao's opponent, he was rich and had many treasures. First, he used a magic weapon to temporarily trap the Banjiao. Then, he gave Fang Tuo a Small Shift Talisman and let him leave. He also took out a Small Shift Talisman and prepared to escape.
Logically speaking, his plan was foolproof. Unfortunately, he encountered two variables. First, the male lead, who was full of talent in actual combat, was in a daze at a crucial moment. As a result, the activation of the Small Shift Talisman was delayed by a moment. Second, he did not know what the male lead had done to the Banjiao. The Banjiao was very affectionate to him. Seeing that he was about to leave and being trapped by Linno's magic weapon, it anxiously shot the silver horn on its head at the male lead.
At that time, Fang Tuo was in the short period of paralysis before the teleportation. If he was hit, he would undoubtedly die. Lin Nuo had no choice but to temporarily give up on the teleportation and rush up himself. He was the one who gave the Lesser Teleportation Talisman to Fang Tuo, and he was also the one who said that he would entangle the half-dragon so that others could escape first. In the end, he wasn't able to completely entangle the half-dragon. If Fang Tuo died because he used the Lesser Teleportation Talisman and couldn't move, then wouldn't he have killed him?
With this delay, Fang Tuo left, but he was caught and beaten half to death by the Banjiao. With great difficulty, he found an opportunity to activate the Fixed Point Transmission Disk and return to the secret cave. It could be said that he was half dead.
Saying that he was half dead was because his injuries were very serious. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was going to die. But Linno was not afraid. He had a golden finger!
In the original work, the Lin family's bloodline was noble. There was a hidden Phoenix bloodline. When they were on the verge of death, there was a certain chance that they would be reborn, be reborn, and turn into a butterfly. Why could the original owner of the original work jump from the first episode to the last episode? It was because he had once undergone an imperfect Nirvana, so his leveling speed could barely keep up with the male protagonist's. In fact, Linno felt that the reason why the author arranged this was because the original owner's "popularity" was too high. If he received a boxed lunch too early, he would lose a lot of points.
In short, because Linno knew where his greatest golden finger was, he began to prepare as early as hundreds of years ago. He collected all kinds of precious materials such as Phoenix Tree Wood and Hundred Phoenix Feathers. He also spent several years setting up a large array in his nest. He had to ensure that when he underwent Nirvana one day, it would be perfect.
Now, it was finally time to put these things to use. Linno forced himself to close the door, activate the restriction, and activate the large array. Then, he lay on the bed and "waited for death".
He let himself fall into a coma. The vitality in his body gradually disappeared. His breathing was weak, and his heartbeat slowed down. However, there was a gray aura quietly spreading and growing in his blood. The rare Phoenix Nirvana was about to begin …
Then, the male protagonist broke in.
He did not even want to think about what happened next.
"Young Master," the maid saw that his footsteps were a little weak and said respectfully, "Her Majesty asked us to prepare a palanquin for you …"
Qin Song shook his head and refused. Anyone like him who was forced to lie down for more than ten days would not have the thought of slacking off. They would definitely move as much as they could.
Thus, the maid ordered someone to lead the way. She followed half a step behind Qin Song with her hands hanging down.
Qin Song still did not know the name of the maid. Previously, when she was reading to him, she was never willing to talk much. Her attitude was also somewhat arrogant. Qin Song thought that her arrogance was because she could read. Now that he thought about it, she should be someone close to Qin Yue.
Along the way, he saw peach blossoms, Li Bai, and apricot blossoms, and endless beautiful scenery. Unfortunately, the place where Qin Yue held the banquet was too close. Before he could enjoy himself to the fullest, he arrived.
The reason was that Qin Yue called him here. Perhaps he wanted to humiliate him by having him, Yi An, and Qiu Yun attend the banquet together. Or perhaps it was because he had recovered from his injuries and wanted to meet people to dispel the "rumor" that "Qin Song Gongzi was tortured by the King Of Qin because he swore to die". However, when he arrived at the banquet, he was stunned. The banquet was sumptuous and full of singing and dancing, but only Qin Yue was present. There was a seat below him that was still empty — this so-called banquet was actually set up for him alone?
Just as he was puzzled, he saw Qin Yue beckoning with a smile and said, "Qin Song, come quickly. I've been waiting for you for a long time." Unexpectedly, he acted as if they were close friends.
Although he did not know what Qin Yue was planning, since he was already here, he might as well take things as they came. Qin Song stepped forward and took his seat.
Qin Yue clapped his hands, and the music and dancing started.
Qin Yue said, "I've been busy with government affairs these past few days, so I haven't been able to visit you. I wonder if Qin Song has recovered? Have you been well these past few days? Have the servants been neglecting you? Qin Song is my honored guest. If there's any inconvenience, feel free to speak frankly. Please don't regard me as an outsider. "
Qin Song smiled and said, "Thank you very much." He did not say anything else.
They had not seen each other for several days, but Qin Yue's countenance was actually much more peaceful than before. The hostility on his body was almost completely swept away. Qin Song's heart shivered. In this world, there were many monarchs who were willing to accept remonstrances. However, he had never heard of a monarch who would reflect on his actions just because of a few words from a prisoner.
Qin Yue said, "Looking at Qin Song's rosy complexion now, I presume you've also been well nourished. Come, let me offer you a toast. "
Qin Song thanked him again and raised his cup to drink it in one gulp. However, as soon as the muddy yellow wine entered his throat, he couldn't help but cough loudly.
The youth coughed until he couldn't catch his breath. His cheeks were flushed red from the choking, and his eyes were faintly glistening with tears. It was truly … Qin Yue's breathing paused for a moment before he stood up and sat beside the youth. He patted his back to soothe his breathing and said, "It's this Humble One's fault. The Great Qin's wine is truly too strong for your Southern Chu … Someone, change …"
"No need," Qin Song finally managed to catch his breath and said, "I'll take this!"
A strong sense of resentment rose in his heart. Damn, I've never drunk such bad wine in my life. It's as light as water, and the taste is so strange … but at least it still has a little taste of wine. If it was something even lighter, I'd rather drink water!
Qin Yue advised, "Qin Song, there's no need to force yourself."
Qin Song finally reacted. At this moment, he and Qin Yue were too close. In particular, Qin Yue's hand was still on his back. It looked like he was half-hugging him, which made him particularly unhappy. Thus, he moved sideways a little and waited for Qin Yue to tactfully move back.
Qin Yue acted as if he didn't understand his meaning at all. He sat up straight and occupied the space that Qin Song had vacated. He sighed and said, "Qin Song can even choke when drinking wine. I can only be more at ease if I sit with you … it's also more convenient to talk this way."
Qin Song said, "Your Majesty, please do as you wish."
They were just sitting at the same table. Arguing with him would be disadvantageous.
He no longer paid attention to Qin Yue. With one hand holding the pot and the other holding the cup, he began to drink by himself. His gaze fell on the young girl dancing in front of the courtyard. His fingers gently tapped on the cup, silently beating along with the music. He seemed to really regard himself as an honored guest of the Qin Palace. What a leisurely and contented appearance.
Qin Yue was surprised for a moment and then recovered. He began to chat occasionally. Then, the casualness on his face was gradually replaced by seriousness.
This young man was only fifteen or sixteen years old. He was famous for his Qin Song and sword dance. Although Qin Yue was attracted by his temperament and knew that he was quite intelligent, he didn't think that he was very knowledgeable and talented. However, after chatting for a while, he was inexplicably surprised and disdainful of the Southern Chu. Such a knowledgeable and far-sighted person, but in the eyes of the Southern Chu people, they only saw his Qin Song and sword dance. Moreover, they sent him to Daqin with such an inferior status. It was ironic.
He poured another cup for the young man and said with a smile, "Did you enjoy Qin Song to your heart's content today?"
Qin Song was a good wine. He didn't refuse anyone. He drank it all in one gulp and sighed, "The tea is muddy and the wine is light. The song is mediocre and the dance is clumsy … It's just passable!"
Qin Yue choked. He originally wanted to use this as an excuse to recruit the young man. He didn't expect to receive such an evaluation. He couldn't help but feel annoyed. He forgot that when it came to drinking and having fun, Daqin couldn't compare to Southern Chu. Moreover, this young man was one of the best among them. Just by looking at his Qin Song Gongzi title, one could tell.
Qin Song sighed and said, "The tea and wine are easy to talk about. If Your Majesty lets me go, I can let Your Majesty taste good wine and fragrant tea in less than three days. But the singing and dancing …"
He was slightly drunk at the moment. He stood up unsteadily and said, "The dancers I saw floated and turned back to the light snow, sending the beautiful dragon away. The willow behind Xiao Chuang's hand is powerless. The clouds want to be born when the train is slanted. "
Qin Yue didn't think much of it. When he was about to praise his poem, he saw that Qin Song's momentum suddenly changed. His whole body seemed to become light and ethereal. His every movement had a wonderful rhythm. He casually raised his right arm, his long sleeves fluttering lightly. He casually turned, brushed, twisted … Qin Yue finally understood why this young man was famous for his dancing.
"The snow floated and turned back to the light snow, sending the beautiful dragon away. The willow behind Xiao Chuang's hand is powerless. The clouds want to be born when the train is slanted … "He originally thought that the poem was too exaggerated, but now he felt that it was impossible to describe how beautiful it was.
Qin Yue hadn't come back to his senses yet, but Qin Song had already sat down and sighed, "The singers I saw relied on their beauty to calm their spirit. They were able to blend their emotions. When resting, their emotions will not stop. Don't think too much … "
After shaking his head and sighing, he began to drink again.
Qin Yue's heart itched unbearably. He said, "Since the singing and dancing are not pleasing to the eyes, I wonder if I would be fortunate …"
Qin Song said indifferently, "I remember that Your Majesty invited me to attend the banquet, not to attend the banquet!"
Qin Yue choked. He was used to being rebuffed in front of Qin Song. He had been reminded several times, so he didn't feel disobedient. He regretfully shook his head and let it go. Just as he was about to invite him out for a walk, he heard someone report that the Prime Minister had arrived.
Qin Yue frowned slightly, but he still ordered someone to invite him in. Qin Song stood up. "Your Majesty has government affairs to attend to. This official will take his leave."
Qin Yue grabbed his sleeve and pulled him back to sit down. He said, "There's no harm in listening."
Qin Song didn't say anything else.
As Qin Yue expected, the Prime Minister, Taishu Zhi, had come over for the matter of Lu Zijin.
Daqin advocated military force, and its methods had always been simple and forceful. Previously, when its territory was small and the political situation was stable, it wasn't a big problem. But now that its territory had expanded by more than three times, there were frequent disturbances and endless troubles. When these Daqin officials dealt with it, it was difficult to make ends meet.
When Qin Yue saw this situation, he boldly used the Liang person, Lu Zijin, and used him more and more. But this caused the local powers to be dissatisfied. No matter what, they would nitpick and impeach him. The Prime Minister, Taishu Zhi, was one of the most forceful.
Taishu Zhi had come because of the recruitment hall that Lu Zijin had been ordered to build in the Qin capital. He said that not only did it cost a lot of money and food, but the people who were recruited were either people who stole chickens and dogs or people who were useless and mediocre people who came to swindle food and drink. In the past few months, not a single serious talent had been found. Instead, the entire capital was in a foul atmosphere.
He gave many examples in a row to illustrate the harm of this group of people.
Qin Yue was also somewhat hesitant. He subconsciously felt that building a recruitment hall to recruit people from all over the world was a good thing. But what Taishu Zhi said was also true. The recruitment hall had been built for a few months, but there were no results. Instead, it was harmful. If this continued …
Just as he was about to speak, he saw the youth beside him drinking wine with his head tilted back. He had a thought and asked, "Qin Song, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
Qin Song shook his head. "I don't know."
Taishu Zhi frowned. "Your Majesty, the important matters of the imperial court are not to be joked around with …"
Qin Yue waved his hand to interrupt him. He said to Qin Song, "I know what you hate the most. If you give me a satisfactory answer today, I will promise you that I will not force you on this matter. How about it?"
Although Qin Yue was lustful, he did not think that he would lose his mind because of it. He had always been very clear when it came to pleasure and business. But when it came to Qin Song, he was faintly losing control. On one hand, he appreciated and even cherished the youth in front of him, but on the other hand, he was increasingly unable to control his desire for him.
He would give the youth a chance. If he was worthy, he would no longer regard him as a plaything on the couch. He would be willing to restrain himself a little. Although the youth moved his heart, he was Qin Yue. The one thing he did not lack the most was beauties.
Qin Song was silent for a moment. Suddenly, he recited, "In the ancient times, there was a person who used a thousand gold to seek a thousand miles horse …"
Taishu Zhi impatiently interrupted, "What nonsense is this!"
Qin Song acted as if he did not hear and continued to recite. He was famous for his Qin Song. His voice was naturally very pleasant to listen to. It was clear, clean, and intoxicating. Even when he was reciting, there seemed to be a lingering sound that lingered in the air.
"… 'Buying a dead horse for five hundred gold, what about a living horse? The world must have a king as the best horse. The horse has arrived today! 'Thus, if one cannot wait, the horse of a thousand miles will arrive in three. "
After Qin Song finished speaking, Qin Yue and Taishu Zhi were silent for a long time. After looking at each other, Taishu Zhi said, "But the ones who came today are all mediocre. We can't really put them to good use, right?"
Qin Song laughed lightly and said, "You have to ask me this. Are you the Prime Minister or am I the Prime Minister? Do you want me to help you send them to Southern Chu to participate in the imperial examinations? "
Taishu Zhi was so angry that his beard stood up. "You! Bastard! "
"Qin Song's temper is like this. Don't take it to heart, Prime Minister," Qin Yue advised. Then, he said, "Qin Song, it's time for you to apply medicine. I will send someone to send you back."
Relief time ended … Qin Song casually took a pear from the table, chewed on it, and left leisurely.
Since then, Qin Yue personally came over every few days to play chess and chat with him, or drink wine and have fun, or sail the boat on the lake … It was at this time that Qin Song could have a moment of freedom. When he was bored, he actually faintly hoped that Qin Yue would think of him. Although he knew that it was wrong to think this way, some instincts were really hard to control.
Qin Song sighed. He really thought highly of him.
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. The wound on his face was almost invisible, but Qin Yue had no intention of letting him go. He reminded Qin Yue once, but Qin Yue didn't let him go for five days in a row. This made him very anxious, but he also knew that Qin Yue was waiting for him to be anxious, to break down, and to give in.
In the evening, Qin Song was suddenly awakened by a noise. Recently, his five senses had become extremely sharp. There was no movement outside, but he heard shouting and barking in the distance.
This was … an assassin?
Just as this thought arose, a black figure silently flipped in. As soon as he turned around, their eyes immediately met.
The assassin obviously didn't expect that the person inside was awake, but his reaction was extremely fast. After being stunned for a moment, he immediately rushed up and pinched Qin Song's chin to force him to swallow a pill. He lowered his voice and said, "Don't shout. The maid outside has already been knocked out by me. It's useless even if you shout! You've eaten my poison pill. If you don't have the antidote, the poison will take effect in less than half a month … Quickly find a way to hide me. When I'm out of danger, I'll send you the antidote, otherwise … "
Qin Song sighed and interrupted his incessant rambling, "Don't you ever observe the situation before you act?"
The man in black was stunned. "What?"
Qin Song pulled his wrist, and the iron chain made a dull sound. The man in black didn't react for a long time. Although his face was covered and his expression couldn't be seen, his dull eyes looked like he was about to collapse …
There were many new wounds on his body, and it stung a little when the burning knife was sprinkled on them. However, Linno had been in love and killing with the System for hundreds of years. His nerves were extremely strong, and he was the least afraid of this kind of simple pain. Washing the wounds with strong alcohol, this kind of pain that would make ordinary people cry for their parents, was just like scratching an itch for Linno.
He didn't care about it, but Fang Tuo felt uncomfortable looking at him. He didn't say anything, but the corners of his lips tightened.
Linno took another sip and took a deep breath. Finally, he turned his head and glanced at Fang Tuo. "What's the matter?"
Fang Tuo said in a low voice, "In two months … it's your birthday."
Linno laughed at himself. "So you're here to celebrate my birthday?"
Fang Tuo was silent.
Lin Nuo exhaled and said, "It doesn't matter if you're here to celebrate my birthday or to send me off. I'll still thank you."
In this unscientific world, the lifespan of a cultivator was like the genetic lock that Linno had read about in science fiction novels in his previous life. Every time a cultivator leveled up, the lock would be unlocked, and their lifespan would be increased. When the time came, they couldn't even live a day longer. So all day long, cultivators were like dogs, desperately cultivating and cultivating. Their lives weren't even as pure as ordinary people's.
However, Linno didn't have this problem. His injuries directly made it impossible for him to level up, and he withdrew from this long-distance race between life and time.
There were still two months to go. It was his birthday, and it would also be the day of his death.
Fang Tuo was silent for a moment before he opened his mouth. His voice was gloomy as he said, "I didn't get the Longevity Fruit."
Linno took another sip with some irritation. "Three thousand years, I've lived long enough. What is there to extend? "
"I won't let you die."
Linno's breath caught, and the hand holding the wine jar paused. He said, "It's not your first time cultivating. The path of cultivation has always been narrower and narrower, and the people around you are getting fewer and fewer …"
"… I'm now at the Soul Formation stage."
Linno's face instantly paled, and the hand holding the wine jar began to tremble. In the end, he flew into a rage and heavily smashed the wine jar on the cliff next to Fang Tuo's face. He said sternly, "Fang Tuo, what the hell have I done wrong to you?!"
