Royal Road - Chapter 199

[Chapter 198 | City]

Liang Rong was a little restless.

Today was the day when his father returned from Luoyang, but he couldn’t see his father for the first time.

The officials of the county government came out to greet him and congratulated the prefect on his promotion to the prefect. He was the only son, and it was not easy for him to interfere with his father’s official business.

But sitting in the back house, it makes people anxious.

His father was still ill, so he rushed to Beijing, and he didn’t know how his health was?

And if he is going to go to Jinyang when he is a prefect, can he go with him?

Just like a cat scratching in his heart, Liang Rong waited for the news that his father had returned to the back house to rest, and immediately got up and went to meet him.

“Father!” With more than ten steps away, Liang Rong couldn’t control his red eyes, and he trotted all the way to reach Liang Feng.

Dad really lost weight!

The face is not good either!

Are you tired?

Enduring the choking, Liang Rong said, “My father is tired from the journey, and the child is not able to serve him. It is really unfilial.”

Looking at his son’s red eyes, and the small appearance of holding back his manners, Liang Feng smiled and stroked him. His head: “Rong’er is studying at home, and I don’t let my father worry about it. How can I be unfilial? Dear, my father is hungry. How about eating with my father?

” Liang Feng’s hand, as if to help him, led him into the hall.

With such a caring baby by your side, what is there to worry about?

Liang Feng smiled and followed the other party into the hall.

Sitting down at the table, the maid offered a warm towel and asked the father and son to clean their hands and wipe their faces.

The prepared meal was then served.

It was time to eat, but Liang Feng still had no appetite. He just picked up the miscellaneous boiled bean porridge and drank it. After using some side dishes, he put down the bowl.

However, when he looked up, he saw a pair of dark eyes staring at him.

Liang Rong said pitifully, “Father, you haven’t eaten as much as Rong’er…”

Uh, looking at what was on his own table and then on his son’s table, Liang Feng coughed: “Father, use a bowl of sheep again. The milk is ready.”

In addition to the symptoms of addiction, heavy metal poisoning still needs to be considered, and it is also good to eat more protein meals.

Under the supervision of Liang Rong, Liang Feng drank a small bowl of goat milk again, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

After eating, he rinsed his mouth with water again, and Liang Feng smiled and said, “Rong’er looks a little taller. Staying at home these days, can you practice the art of archery and piano?”

He is not worried about his studies , Liang Feng said.

Rong’s self-awareness is high, plus the teacher’s careful teaching, he will definitely not be lazy, so it is better to ask others.

There is no such thing as a grade test certificate in this era. Qin, chess, calligraphy, painting, and even riding and archery are all to cultivate sentiment and improve the aristocratic education of self-cultivation. On Liang Rong’s side, it is already entertainment.

Liang Rong nodded. Rarely did not answer directly, but hesitated for a while and asked, “Is Father going to take office in Jinyang?”

It seems that the little guy has also heard the news of his promotion to the prefect.

Liang Feng said: “That’s true. In two days, the father will set off for Jinyang.”

“Can Rong’er go together?” Liang Rong asked anxiously, even leaning forward a little. point.

Hearing this, Liang Feng frowned.

Entering Jinyang this time is not an easy task.

After all, it was a city that had been besieged for a year, plus the wolves, tigers and leopards around, it was not sure whether it could guarantee safety.

He can be stationed in the lonely city, but it is really uneasy for Rong’er to be in such a dangerous place.

But the little guy in front of him looked so eager that he could not wait to hang it on his waist.

Just saying that will definitely make him sad.

Just after thinking for a while, Liang Feng made his face serious: “This time I go to Jinyang for my father, I don’t know how much time it will take. Rong’er must stay in Shangdang and protect his home for

his father.”

In his tone, he brought solemnity.

Liang Rong was stunned for a moment, and his mouth pursed immediately.

He can’t go to Jinyang with his father, but this is the first time his father has entrusted him with such a solemn request.

Xiaoxin’s liver was almost smashed into a ball. Liang Rong opened his mouth a few times before replying in a low voice: “Father goes to Jinyang, is it still dangerous?”

This point, Liang Feng didn’t want to hide: “Jinyang was besieged for a year, and it was the seat of Bingzhou, and it was the enemy from both sides. Naturally, it was dangerous. But the emperor’s order is in his body, and my father must go to the town to solve the rebellious Huns and keep them safe. A state is stable. There will be hardships and dangers, and hardships may not be less. I really don’t have the energy to take care of the house. Rong’er will be in charge of the house next year, and he has also learned a lot of poems and books, so he can share the worries for my father.”

This responsibility , In Liang Feng’s opinion, it was a little too heavy, but Liang Rong’s eyes were always red, but he firmly held back the tears.

After a long time, he nodded vigorously: “Father, don’t worry, Rong’er will take care of the house and not let Father worry.”

Looking at the little guy’s appearance, Liang Feng couldn’t help but sigh, and turned to take his son in his arms: “Usually you stay in Lucheng and study well. If something happens to the mansion, just write a letter and send it to Jinyang as soon as possible. I will let Chaoyu arrange everything properly. When the school is on vacation, you can go back to the mansion and live there. And your Mr. Cui will also stay in Shangdang, if you have something to do, you can ask him more.”

In fact, this is not a perfunctory deception.

There are only his father and son in the Liang residence. If they both leave Shangdang, it will inevitably make the servants feel uneasy about losing their core.

But if Liang Rong stayed, it was different.

This is his only son, and the future master of Liang Mansion.

As long as Liang Rong is there, everyone below will not relax.

And the little guy stayed in the back of Shangdang, which made him feel more at ease.

It’s just heartbreaking that the child is only eight years old and has to be separated from himself.

Holding his father’s robe tightly, Liang Rong buried his little head in the scent of medicine.

That body was much weaker, and it was a little bony.

But my father still propped up a prefecture, a county and even a state, protecting himself and more people under his wings.

He has reached the age of the chief horn, and he can no longer cause trouble to his father just for himself, as he did when he was young.

She just kept her tears firmly in her eyes, and she couldn’t help but slip out of her eyes and wet a small piece of the placket.

※

Yi Yan did not stay in the prefect’s mansion for long.

After Duan Qin explained what happened in Qixian County, he left the government office.

Like other civil servants and military generals, Yiyan now has his own official residence in Lucheng, but the layout is too simple, not to mention the maid geisha, even the servants who serve are pitiful.

On the contrary, there are personal soldiers who come and go, and there are orders to prohibit them.

It was almost like moving another barracks into the city.

When he got home, he dealt with some residual official duties first, and then got up and carried out the necessary daily drills.

A set of swordsmanship, a set of marksmanship, and techniques such as leapfrog, push-up, and pull-up, which were learned from the master.

The summer heat in July has not yet subsided, even wearing thin clothes, sweat is like water.

But Yi Yan didn’t say a word, and just followed the standard silently, completing one action after another. The texture of his body was like a taut bowstring, full of strength and hidden murderous intent.

After all the training was completed, the sky was already dark.

After fetching water for a bath, he casually put on a single shirt and came to the study.

The food has been set, as always, there is meat and cakes, and it is not much different from the food in the army.

After eating, he took the military book, read and memorized it, and learned it.

If someone said that the captain of Shangdang, the head coach of Liang’s residence, spends his free time like this every day, some people will surely believe it.

Not to mention an aristocratic family like Linghu Kuang, even a military man like Wu Ling, when there was no war, he had to drink and have fun and relax.

People like them who lick blood at the edge of a knife are often more indulgent and unruly than others when they go to the battlefield.

Just because no one knows better than them what it means to be precarious.

Just a cold arrow can kill his own life.

In exchange for the reward of an official position, what else can you do instead of eating, drinking and having fun?

However, Yi Yan was never like that.

It has only been three short years since the recognition of words.

In his study, there are too many military books and history books that he has never read.

The lord had told him that he should be familiar with the things in these books.

If these things can make more people under his command survive, he is willing to read a few more volumes.

The tip of the pen rustled and landed on the yellowish hemp paper.

That handwriting, somewhat like Liang Feng’s handwriting.

But without the free and easy calm of the other party, on the contrary, it is a bit more sharp, and the silver hook and iron painting seem to be able to penetrate the wood.

After watching the candle for half an hour, Yiyan put down the pen and rubbed his eyes.

This is also taught by the Episcopal Church. Reading should not be too long, nor should it be put in the evening, so as not to hurt the eyes.

He feeds on his eyes. If he has poor eyesight, how can he steer a horse?

If they were still with the protagonist today, they would most likely play a few games of chess, or take out the piano, one person would play and the other would listen.

Even talk about military books, talk about ancient stories, and deduce those famous battles against the sand table.

Or do nothing, just burn incense and drink tea, and steal half a day.

The muscular hand hangs down.

Yi Yan opened his gray-blue eyes and looked to his side.

The room was lonely.

How long has it been since he hadn’t been by that person’s side naturally?

The night wind swayed the edge of the window, making a screeching sound.

Yiyan got up, went to the other side of the study, took out the chisel from the wooden box, and continued the unfinished work.

What he engraved was a jade plaque.

Jade is the best white suet, costing him a lot of salary.

Every pattern on it was carved by his own hands.

His father was a famous Buddhist sculptor in the village.

He also learned some crafts.

Just not superb.

First there are flowers and plants, then animals and animals, then ghosts and gods, and gods and Buddhas can only be placed at the time of skill completion.

This is the rule passed down by the ancestors.

His craftsmanship is not exquisite, but at this moment, it is a Buddha carved.

The folds of the clothes are fluttering, the eyebrows and eyes are stretched, and in addition to being dignified, it is a little more graceful and soft.

Just like the person in the dream, it fell on the white jade.

This is the god and Buddha in his heart, and it is the only way to suppress those restlessness and anxiety.

It seems that as long as you stay calm, you can get closer to what you want.

Maybe one day, a vivid Buddha statue can be hung around that person’s neck.

With a ding sound, gold and jade collided.

Yi Yan seemed to have forgotten all his troubles, quietly sculpting and worshipping this little Jade Buddha.

※

The next day, Liang Feng woke up and threw himself into the busy work.

After all, he had been away from Shangdang for so long, and his departure was imminent. There were still many things waiting for him to decide.

However, from morning to night, when he was finally able to sit in the study and catch his breath, Liang Feng felt restless again.

Putting things there and pretending to ignore them was not his habit after all.

In a few days, I will be taking office, and I can’t put it off any longer.

“Captain Call Yi, come to see me.” In the end, Liang Feng still instructed the opening.

It’s time to clear up this mess again.

However, when the order went on, people came a little slow.

After drinking two cups of tea and approving a lot of documents, the sound of footsteps outside the door was long overdue.

Liang Feng couldn’t help but put down the pen in his hand and sat upright.

After a while, the door of the house was pushed open, and the tall figure walked into the study.

The visitor had sweat on his forehead and dirt on his body, apparently coming all the way.

Liang Feng realized with hindsight that he might have gone to the horse camp outside the city.

But people called over and said it was useless.

After clearing his throat, Liang Feng said to the maid next to him, “Canglan, order everyone to retreat.”

Canglan saluted silently as always, and then exited the door.

Yi Yan’s brows were slightly wrinkled, and she slowly knelt down in front of Liang Feng.

He had encountered such a situation once.

The lord took the initiative to summon, and then backed away, asking him what to say, it is not difficult to guess.

Looking at Yi Yan’s extremely stubborn and firm gaze, Liang Feng sighed softly: “Bo Yuan, in two days, we will head north to Jinyang. This time, your mission is really not light. Together with the Jinyang troops to fight against the Huns, it may even have to deal with the general of Ningbei sent by the imperial court…”

Liang Feng paused for a while before continuing: “…It is about the survival of Bingzhou, so it should not be taken lightly.”

“The general will know “Yi Yan replied in a deep voice.

His expression was so calm that Liang Feng couldn’t help frowning: “Since that’s the case, it’s better to keep your… random thoughts…”

On the word “random thoughts”, Liang Feng’s voice couldn’t help but soften. One point, but before he could finish speaking, Yi Yan stopped the conversation: “Master, you can feel at ease. The last will never delay official affairs because of selfishness. The last will understand this.”

Hearing this, Liang Feng was also a little speechless.

Because for so long, he really never noticed that Yi Yan had other thoughts in his heart.

Even if it suddenly became colder and more distant, he still concealed his emotions very well.

Not to mention delaying the business, even the self who got along day and night didn’t even notice it.

Hell, how could he not notice?

!

However, this is not the time to say this.

Liang Feng’s expression became more severe: “Have you ever thought about it, I don’t like men?”

Yi Yan’s body trembled slightly: “My lord stabbed that madman Yan Ji in front of me, I know it.”

No. Said, Liang Feng himself forgot.

Yes, it was in this Shangdang Prefect’s Mansion that he killed Prefect Yan, who was courting him, and took this position.

On that day, Yi Yan was present.

Wait, was it at that time that Yi Yan noticed this abnormal love?

The headache was even worse than expected. Liang

Feng paused before saying, “In this case, wouldn’t it be better to take a step back? I regard you as a disciple and confidant. Wouldn’t it be a pity to destroy these?”

I regret it.

Because it wasn’t Yi Yan who destroyed these things, but himself.

If it hadn’t been that day’s poisoning, Yi Yan would have been able to bury these thoughts for the rest of his life, and he wouldn’t have taken a leap of faith.

It’s a pity that something went wrong and everything was in vain.

A trace of pain flashed in his eyes, Yi Yan lowered his head and leaned in front of Liang Feng: “I can deceive the lord, but I can’t deceive myself. The lord hates me for insulting me, but I can’t leave the lord.

” The voice is not loud, but every word has a heavy weight.

The cold hairs on Liang Feng’s back stood up: “If I do this, I must stay away from you?!”

Yi Yan raised his head suddenly, a pair of fiery eyes, fiercely imprinted on Liang Feng’s body: “I Let the lord not be able to abandon me!”

That look is aggressive.

If there is a girl who encounters such a suitor in the future, I am afraid that she will directly feel fear.

Treat people as perverts and escape as far as possible.

But Liang Feng is not a girl.

He has talked about countless “loves”, and deeply harmonized all the routines and tricks, but never one would use such words and such an attitude to initiate pursuit.

This is no longer like a gentle gesture of love, but like hunting and fighting, endlessly!

Of course, when he noticed this, his heart beat a little faster.

“Fight or flight” is the unavoidable nature of human beings, Liang Feng never chose “escape”.

The thought just flickered, and Liang Feng immediately stabilized himself.

The clenched fist was squeezed even tighter: “What is it that makes you obsessed? Because of this face? What if I find a more handsome man for you?

” Pain or pain.

His lips also trembled twice before he made a voice: “There will be no one, it seems that the lord treats me like this.”

Yes, there will be no such person again.

Treat him as a real human being, not a vulgar and ugly hooligan.

From the first sight, the man’s attitude has never changed.

Not because of his appearance, not because of his identity.

So, cherish it.

Yi Yan didn’t know when he fell in love with the person in front of him, maybe the moment when his eyes met, his life was doomed.

Liang Feng was dumbfounded.

It is even harder to persuade someone who loves deeply not to love than to persuade someone who wants to die not to die.

Because love, after all, is the most obsessive thing in the world, it can make people live or die.

However, Yi Yan did not pursue this victory, but fell to his knees deeply again: “Master, don’t worry. The last general, you have your own measure.”

What measure?

Looking at the back that was only broken for himself, Liang Feng even felt a little sympathy in his heart.

This is really not fair to Yiyan.

But as a player, what can he do?

The people before the meeting didn’t answer for a long time, and Yi Yan didn’t say any more.

Slowly stood up, like when he came, and backed out.

When the figure disappeared completely, Liang Feng exhaled the breath held in his chest.

He has seen same-sex love, and he even had a loving partner from death when he was a child.

They are also like lovers in the world, their love is sincere and meaningful, and they have not been separated for more than ten years.

Such love, Liang Feng does not discriminate.

It’s just that these affectionate feelings – regardless of gender – were never in Liang Feng’s life plan.

He may have envy and sigh, but he is unwilling to touch it.

Just because he knows that he is not the kind of person who can put his heart into it.

until today.

A slight tremor came out again, just like the eve of an addiction outbreak.

Liang Feng pressed his knees hard, and also suppressed the thing that came from deep within his body.

It’s already been like this, so there’s no need for anything else to add to the chaos.

Since Yi Yan said that he can restrain himself, let’s follow another method.

At any time, time is the best and only antidote.

Just give them some more time to ease all this, and that’s enough.

Slightly tired, Liang Feng slowly closed his eyes.
