He buried his face in the blanket and screausted by hi ainst the bedpost and end his life now</eht, Gu Yun was utterly exhausted He initially wanted to go back to rest, but in the end, affected by Shen Yi’s words, his footsteps unconsciously turned forward to the back quarters
At this tihts that were still lit up in the capital Chang Geng had long fallen asleep, Gu Yun did not disturb the old servants outside He walked into the chaht of the snow outside theserving as his guide as he reached out and pulled the quilt up for Chang Geng But suddenly, he found that the child did not seeht in the er held onto Chang Geng’s wrist
Chang Geng was startled, he took in a deep breath then jolted awake, his gaze still stunned with fear and doubt, staring at the person at his bedside in a daze
Gu Yun gently shook his wrist and softened his voice to ask: “Did you have a night did not say a word for a while, his scattered gaze gradually found their focus once again He stared at Gu Yun’s eyes that reseht, and suddenly e shoulder guardsinside the room with it the cold air of the early winter The cold iron was tightly attached to Chang Geng’s forehead Suddenly, in the haze of fright, Chang Geng seeate that year, with coldness piercing into one’s bones He shi+vered intently, only now did he gradually break free froht to hiears of the house clock rustled as they turned, and the brazier ran by coals have also been heated up It was like a cauldron, placed in thefrom below, and was immediately swept away by the pipes Only the warm heat circulated co Geng so suddenly, Gu Yun was du filled his heart – for the first tiiving off the sense ofon each other
His frivolous appearance of “I am invincible in this world” displayed on a daily basis was of course just a fraud He was very well aware of his own strengths and limits If the Marquis of Order was not so self-aware, then after venturing a few trips out the battlefields, the grass on his grave would have probably grown as high as a person already
However, at this moment, Gu Yun’s heart suddenly created the illusion of in this world that I cannot do”</erown, but still bore the fineness of a young child Just by reaching out and tightening the eh the thin clothing
This thin flesh was pressed heavily on hiht, he row up as the E over him, for him to live safe and sound until he’s of hundred years old
He can finally make up for the incompetence and hopelessness he felt towards A Yan’s situation that year
Gu Yun took off the iron guards on his shoulders, hung it on one side, and got on the bed of Chang Geng still in his full attire, he asked: “Are youGeng shook his head
Chang Geng did not have any deep affection for the Emperor, it seems that he only called the old Eain: “Do youdid not deny it
In all these years, Xu Baihu was the first kind person he had ever enerous and gentle His stepfather had used hi Geng understand that one can go through life with such peacefulness
It’s just that Xu Baihu always had his hands full with military affairs and almost never came home, which created an opportunity for Gu Yun to co’s heart
Seeing the boy had silently confirmed this, Gu Yun tilted his head and hazily stared at the bed curtain at the top, suddenly not able to stop this unpleasant sensation inside He involuntary asked: “Brother Xu treated you better than I did?”
Chang Geng gave hi why Gu Yun would ask such a question with an already obvious answer
This time, Gu Yun hadas if an ice cold wind had swept through his heart He said dryly: “Well there is no other choice, the emperor’s order is hard to violate, you can only : “…”
Gu Yun burst out laughing, Chang Geng could feel the slight vibration of his chest as he did so and suddenly was struck with a foreign sensation The left half of his heart felt that the distance between thehtly further away fro that he could be turned into a thin piece of paper, and be glued close to hiap
These two ideas battling indefinitely inside seemed to tear him in half
And just when this decisive battle was ongoing, Gu Yun’s bad habit is starting to kick in again
Chang Geng’s hair was scattered behind hian to unconsciously play with theently tugged on his scalp
Chang Geng was ioosebumps spread out all over The blood in his entire body shi+fted fro like h his blood vessels An unknown source of heat broke into all his li Geng quickly got up and took back his hair He instinctively said with embarrassment: “Don’t mess around!”
Gu Yun was often sick when he was younger and was also late in hitting his growth spurt, even at twelve or thirteen years old, he still bore the appearance of a child, hence why he also did not regard Chang Geng as an adult and was the least bit aware of the inappropriate nature of this situation
He half-heartedly retracted his claws, placing both hands behind his head and said to Chang Geng: “I am not married yet, and of course, I do not have children, I don’t even have any brothers and sisters, it is unavoidable that I wasn’t able to thoroughly take care of you
“There are s, that if you don’t tell ure out, so if you harbor any grievances or irritations, don’t hide it in your heart, all right?”
The tone of his voice was deep and pleasant to listen to, probably due to his exhaustion, with it a little i’s ear,the boy’s hairs all rise up, a thin layer of sweat coating his back
Chang Geng nervously thought to hi so out the battlefield?” </ehnessthe space next to him: “Come, lay down, tell me more about your drea’s naed to cal hi about Bone of Impurity, he first tested the waters:
“shi+liu, in this world, is there an existing type of poison that can cause one to turn insane?”
Gu Yun raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction: “Who did you call shi+liu?”
He only reprimanded on the outside but actually did not pay it much mind He proceeded to speak after a pause: “There n countries, there grow many herbs and plants that do not exist in Central Plains, not to s and Gods that have been passed down froeneration There are many secrets and trickery of theirs that we cannot explain”
Chang Geng’s heart sank, his fingers gripping the ruined blade on his chest
