Demons are easy to get rid of, but it is difficult for juniors and teachers to guard against

Chapter 20

Along the way, Lin Zhen rarely talked with Yan Jing.On the one hand, Lin Zhen couldn't find any suitable topics, and on the other hand, she was afraid of being laughed at if she couldn't understand Yan Jing's answer.But Yan Jing showed no embarrassment at all, with a calm demeanor, after drinking tea, he simply leaned on the car and closed his eyes for a nap, even Bai Qiong, who was always noisy, nestled on Yan Jing's fat legs and fell asleep.

Lin Zhen was very bored, and was afraid that something would disturb Yan Jing, so she could only imitate Yan Jing's appearance, leaning against the corner of the car, and taking a nap for a while. Unexpectedly, closing her eyes would be another quite long sleep .

As soon as Lin Zhen fell asleep, Yan Jing woke up. He opened his eyes, his deep eyes were as bright and calm as a mirror, as if he was not asleep.

Lin Zhen dreamed of the empty city she had just escaped from. In her dream, it was a lively scene at night, with heavy traffic and crowds.

There are men and women dancing in the circular square, wearing red and black dance clothes, with bells on their feet and garlands on their hands. They are brightly dressed.The dance steps are similar to what you've seen before, but brighter and more alive.

What is different from reality is that the tall red stands on the north side of the square are not empty.

A man was wearing an exquisite black robe, tall and stalwart, holding on to the railing, his face could not be seen clearly, but he seemed to be admiring the singing and dancing downstairs.Beside him, stood a woman, dressed in lake green, well-dressed, pregnant with a protruding abdomen.

When Lin Zhen heard the man speak, his tone was up and down, sonorous and forceful: "You'er, look! This is the celebration of our unborn child by the good monsters under my name! When he is born, all demons will bow their knees, and thousands of demons will come to congratulate him!" , all ghosts protect him, you and I will keep him safe for the rest of his life!"

The woman's voice was gentle, but there was a hint of worry in her words: "If this is the case, it is naturally good. I am afraid that the heavens will not let us go."

The man smiled heartily, "You have been removed from the fairy bones, what reason does the heavenly world have to interfere with us? You'er can rest assured to have a safe pregnancy, don't worry so much."

The woman sighed, what she thought was obviously more complicated than what the man thought.However, when she raised her head, although Lin Zhen couldn't see her face clearly, she felt that she had been staring at him, as if she had discovered the existence of this voyeur.Lin Zhen was in a daze in the dream, and felt that she was staring at him like this, and there was an unexplained sadness in her heart.

He stepped back, but unexpectedly stepped on the ground and fell from the stands.But when he came back to his senses in the dream, the scene in front of him had already changed, and it was the dream that had appeared countless times again, the city was burned by fire, and wailing was everywhere.

But this time he heard someone talking, it seemed to be the voice of the woman just now, and he choked up and said hoarsely: "Lingxi, take Du Li away quickly... Hurry up! The only one who can send him out here is you! Hurry up Ah! Run! Run!"

The woman's cries were finally swallowed by the fire. Lin Zhen didn't know what was going on, but felt dizzy, and all the scenes in front of her unconsciously returned to nothingness and peace.

Lin Zhen woke up, and when he opened his eyes, he realized that he was no longer in the carriage.He was lying on the bed, and in front of him was the gorgeous bed curtain, with magnificent gold intertwined into intricate patterns.

"Brother, are you awake?" Before Lin Zhen was fully conscious, a familiar voice came from his ear, gentle and gentle, with a hint of worry.

Lin Zhen just woke up a little bit. He turned his head, saw Xiao Ling sitting beside the bed, and asked in a daze, "You... Xiao Ling?"

Xiao Ling smiled, held Lin Zhen's sweaty hand, and said, "Brother, you won't recognize me after you sleep?"

"No, no!" Lin Zhen sat up propped up, only to find that his head was abnormally dizzy. The dizziness made him a little sick, and he couldn't care about Xiao Ling's hand at all.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling's expression changed, he let go of his hand, and asked, "What's wrong, senior brother?"

"Head... so dizzy..." Lin Zhen supported his head with one hand, only to feel an unprecedented discomfort in his body.

Xiao Ling's eyes were complicated, but he smiled and comforted him: "Senior brother must have slept for too long, and he is a little unaccustomed to the environment. Wait for Imperial Physician Xuan to come and show you."

"Oh, okay." Lin Zhen had to lie down, and his reaction was delayed by half a beat due to physical discomfort. After lying down, he realized, and said in surprise, "Prince doctor?! I... where am I now?"

He remembered that he fell asleep in Yan Jing's carriage, did he arrive in Longdu so soon?

Hey how did he lie on this?Had he been in such a deep sleep that no one had woken him?

Xiao Ling said: "Brother, you are already in the palace now."

Hearing this, Lin Zhen stood up excitedly, only to become dizzy and fell down weakly.He looked at Xiao Ling incredulously, and said, "Imperial Palace?! Why so fast? I... how did I get here? Where is Yan Jing? Where is Bai Qiong?"

"Yan Jing has left."

Lin Zhen was even more surprised: "Didn't he come to attend your coronation ceremony? Why did he leave so soon?"

Xiao Ling paused, and said: "Brother, you slept for three whole days."

"..." Lin Zhen was stunned.

"And my crowning ceremony passed yesterday, so he has already gone back."

"..."

It was only then that Lin Zhen noticed that Xiao Ling's attire was different from before. He was wearing a golden crown and a dark blue official robe, unlike the casual clothes in Tokyo.

He actually slept through such an important crowning ceremony?Then why did he come all the way to Longdu?

After being shocked for a while, Lin Zhen said, "Why did I sleep for so long..."

He is not a sleepy person, but recently there have been two occasions where he fell asleep twice a day. The first time he missed seeing Yan Yi off because he slept too long, and the second time he missed Xiao Ling because he slept too long 20-year-old coming-of-age ceremony!How could this make him, as a senior brother, feel so embarrassing?

Xiao Ling comforted: "Senior brother has never been to the north, so it is reasonable to feel unwell. There is nothing unusual about the crown ceremony, brother, let's rest at ease."

Lin Zhen said with great regret: "No matter how unusual it is, it is extraordinary to me! Xiao Ling, that is your coming-of-age ceremony! Only once in a lifetime! And I, the only representative of the sect, didn't even witness it with my own eyes!"

Xiao Ling thought it would be nice if he could omit the last sentence, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother really wants to witness me grow up so much?"

"Isn't this nonsense, otherwise what would I do in Longdu?"

Xiao Ling smiled and said: "Brother, you have worked hard."

Lin Zhen was still very depressed, so he could only say: "Then tell me about the crowning ceremony. This is one of the few emperors and ministers in my court who personally crowned the courtiers! I... I have been curious for a long time ..."

Seeing Lin Zhen turning his head away in embarrassment, Xiao Ling thought that the frank senior brother was really cute, so his smile grew stronger: "It is in the temple that first the emperor spoke, then the state minister spoke, and then added Crown, take the word."

Lin Zhen thought that you are really concise and clear, and felt even more depressed. If she asked Xiao Ling, she must not hear any details, and her head became even more dizzy.

Xiao Ling stood up, walked behind the head of the bed, bent down, stretched out his fingers to rest on Lin Zhen's temples, it was icy cold, and started to massage Lin Zhen slowly.Xiao Ling's hand had distinct joints, and the strength of his fingertips was just right, which made Lin Zhen much more comfortable.

Lin Zhen closed her eyes and asked, "What word did Prime Minister Guo give you?"

"Smell." Xiao Ling replied lightly, his fingertips glowed, and he quietly injected spiritual power into Lin Zhen, "Smell the sound of all things in the world."

Lin Zhen praised: "It shows that the country has high expectations for you! I think you will be the pillar of the world!"

Xiao Ling smiled, "Then what do you expect from me?"

Lin Zhen was taken aback for a moment, to be honest, he really didn't expect anything from Xiao Ling.Xiao Ling is too good, his talent is outstanding, above him, for so many years, Xiao Ling has been doing a thousand times better than him, how could he have any expectations?

So he could only fool around and said: "Of course I also hope that you will help the world and leave a name in history..."

Xiao Ling said: "The mausoleum doesn't want to leave a name in history, as long as it can leave a name in the heart of senior brother, that's fine."

Lin Zhen was startled, and suddenly opened his eyes, but he was facing the eyes of Xiao Ling who was bending over to massage his head. Those peach blossom eyes were looking at him steadfastly.Lin Zhen and Xiao Ling looked at each other for a while, and when they turned their heads away, their faces were already a little red, and they scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about all day long!"

What he said was so ambiguous that Lin Zhen couldn't help thinking about it, but he didn't dare to ask directly, he just felt that his thinking was too absurd.

Xiao Ling didn't feel embarrassed at all, instead he said with a smile: "I miss senior brother."

It was such a frivolous answer, but he said it with a touch of affection.Lin Zhen's heart was pounding, and she didn't dare to look at Xiao Ling, thinking that if he wasn't dreaming, then Xiao Ling had taken the wrong medicine.

Masculinity is not considered something to be despised nowadays, but Lin Zhen never thought that Xiao Ling would have anything to do with this word.

Perhaps, Xiao Ling just meant to worry about himself?

When he was flustered, he heard Xiao Ling ask again: "Brother, does your head feel better?"

Seeing that the topic had been changed, Lin Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, but the temple lost the cold touch of Xiao Ling's fingers, which made him feel somewhat lonely in his heart.He forced a smile: "It's much better. Go and do your work."

Xiao Ling was sitting on Lin Zhen's bedside, just about to say something, but at this moment, an eunuch came into the room, bowed his waist and walked in front of Xiao Ling, respectfully said: "Master Hou, Long Live Lord asked the slave to pass a message, He said that there will be a banquet in the main hall of the Qing Dynasty tonight, so please go there." After finishing speaking, he glanced at Lin Zhen who was on the bed, and continued, "Long Live Lord specially ordered that if Mr. Lin wakes up, please come to the banquet together."

When Lin Zhen heard this, she was stunned.The emperor hosted a banquet and asked him to go by name?This is flattering to him as a grassroots!

However, Xiao Ling said coldly: "Brother is not feeling well, so he can't go."

The father-in-law showed embarrassment, "This...Master Hou, this is not good."

Xiao Ling said: "I think it's pretty good."

The father-in-law hesitated for a moment, and finally seeing Lin Zhen's dull face and Xiao Ling's serious face, he just nodded and walked out of the room.

Lin Zhen watched the father-in-law leave, and then realized that Xiao Ling's few words actually pushed him away from this rare banquet!Not caring about the dizziness, she hurriedly sat up and said, "You... why did you push me? I never thought in eight lifetimes that I would be able to attend a banquet with the emperor!"

"You are unwell, not suitable for that kind of scene."

Lin Zhen was so anxious that she was about to vomit blood, it was rare to enter the palace, and it was rare to see the present day, no matter how uncomfortable she was, she had to be tough!How can you put on airs and say no!

Xiao Ling said coldly: "You want to see Shangguan Honglin that much?"

Lin Zhen rushed forward to cover Xiao Ling's mouth, nervously said: "Xiao Ling, are you out of your mind? How dare you call the emperor by his name in the palace!"

Xiao Ling looked at him, raised his eyebrows lightly.It was only then that Lin Zhen realized that he was in a hurry just now, and only wanted to stop Xiao Ling quickly, but half of his body was pressed on Xiao Ling.

Just as he was about to stop, unexpectedly, there was a burst of damp heat in his palm, and Xiao Ling licked himself with his tongue!

Lin Zhen hurriedly backed away. Because of the weakness of his limbs, he fell hard on the bed. He didn't care, so he just pulled up the quilt, covered his head, and stammered: "I... ...I still want to sleep for a while! You you you you go out first!"

Xiao Ling chuckled lightly and said, "I hope that brother dreams of me."

I don't want you!Lin Zhen felt ashamed and annoyed under the quilt.

Xiao Ling waited for Lin Zhen to fall asleep, and thoughtfully pulled down the quilt covering his head, revealing Lin Zhen's sleeping face, couldn't help smiling, but was extremely tired. Five days ago, he received a letter from Uncle Qi saying that Lin Zhen himself After coming to Longdu alone, he hardly closed his eyes.

Worries are inevitable, but they are more regrets, regrets that when I made a decision, I didn't consider that my brother would go after Longdu alone.The journey is long, and all the way to the north, the senior brother will inevitably encounter danger, if there is a slight mistake, he... Thinking that he might lose his senior brother because of this, Xiao Ling felt terrible.

When he received the news that day, his first reaction was to leave Longdu to find Lin Zhen, but Shangguan Honglin stopped him, saying that if he really left Longdu, how many people would notice Lin Zhen's unusualness?Now it is already very difficult to help Lin Zhen cross the sea, if because of this, Xiao Ling gets involved in government affairs, wouldn't it just add another obstacle?

Fortunately, Yan Jing arrived in Longdu that day, and upon hearing this, he was willing to help Xiao Ling find Lin Zhen.

Xiao Ling remembered that before Yan Jing left, he glanced at Lin Zhen on the bed and said something.

"He really does look like his father," he said.
