At the bottom of the Sky Prison, the empty road seemed to hear the sound of the cold wind blowing.
Xiao Ran was sitting in the only cell. As far as he could see, there was a clean and tidy bed, delicate pastries were placed on the table, and the tea was hot. As a prisoner, to be able to get this treatment, I have to say that the superiors are kindhearted. .
This is his eldest brother, although he doesn't recognize him and never gives him a good face, but he has never really treated him ruthlessly.
A layer of guilt filled his heart, his eyes were slightly red, and before he had time to think about anything, he heard footsteps coming from a distance, which seemed very abrupt in this quiet space.
He knew who was coming.
When he was young, whenever he heard the familiar footsteps, he was very happy, because the eldest brother he admired most came.
The chain sounded, the prison door was opened, and Xiao Xu's figure appeared in front of him.
"Long time no see, eldest brother." He tried his best to raise the corner of his mouth, revealing a genuine smile of reunion after a long absence.
The person in front of him was dejected but not embarrassed, embarrassed but not decadent, Xiao Xu then eased his brows, stepped into the cell, and sat down in front of him, "En."
Xiao Ran smiled, sat down opposite him, and poured him a cup of tea, "There's nothing to entertain here, the emperor will take care of him."
"It's okay." Xiao Xu took the teacup, took a sip without frowning, and put it by his hand.
Seeing that he treated him so unguardedly, and he didn't doubt whether he was poisoned or not, such a trusting appearance made Xiao Ran regain the warmth he had lost for a long time in the past. He shook his hands, took a sip of hot tea, Just put the cup down.
"I can tell you anything the emperor wants to know." This sentence is a disguised submission. Compared with being tortured, he is more willing to tell the emperor everything.
Xiao Xu took a deep look at him and asked an irrelevant question, "Why did you bring so many people in the robbery field yesterday? With your ability, you won't be defeated so easily."
"Aren't you keeping everyone out of the city?" Xiao Ran blinked.
"I want to hear the truth." Xiao Xu said lightly.
Xiao Ran choked, finally gave up the struggle, and said in a low voice, "I know this time is a game set up by the emperor, no matter how many people come, it will be useless, so in order to avoid too many casualties and to avoid harming the people, so …”
He seemed to remember something, his voice paused, and he continued, "Brother Huang, you said that we are not qualified to trample on other people's lives. I used to be ignorant and did a lot of wrong things without caring about the lives of the people. I won't be so confused anymore."
"I'm very pleased that you can think so." I thought that this time I would see Xiao Ran, who was full of thorns all over his body like in the past, but he didn't expect him to change so much, Xiao Xu raised his eyebrows slightly, remembering that before parting, he was still very hostile Heavy, I don't know what he experienced during the separation period to have such a big change.
However, Xiao Xu was still very satisfied to see that he knew he was wrong.
"I'm very happy that the emperor can come to see me." He was really happy.
Xiao Xu saw the redness in his eyes, and sighed lightly, "It's useless."
"Yes, I'm useless, I'm so old, I can't tell right from wrong, I can't tell the difference between good and evil, all the sage books I read were eaten by dogs!" He rubbed his eyes, smiled but choked up.
Xiao Xu looked at his pained appearance, pursed his lips and finally couldn't bear it, raised his hand and landed on his head, his voice was no longer so severe, "You did something wrong, but you shouldn't do it for this. Take all the responsibilities, the eldest brother is the father, I didn't teach you well."
The warm and familiar heat on his head made Xiao Ran's uneasy heart finally collapse. He covered his face with his hands, his shoulders were shaking, tears moistened his eyes at this moment, and he no longer had to be restrained.
The boy didn't cry easily, but he didn't get to the sad part.
The suppressed cry made Xiao Xu sigh involuntarily. He moved his hand to his back and patted it like he usually comforts the little guy.
After venting, Xiao Ran felt that the big stone in his heart had finally disappeared, he said with tears in his eyes, "Brother Huang, I didn't keep my original intention, my original intention was destroyed, and I eventually became the kind of person I hate."
After learning so many skills, in the end, he aimed his sharp sword at his relatives and friends, betrayed his trust, and finally ended up betraying his relatives and leaving, which is what he deserved.
Facing this younger brother who he brought out by his hand, Xiao Xu's mood was also complicated. No one knew that he would end up at this point. Hearing his sincere repentance at this time, his heart was also moved, and he patted his head. "It's all over, knowing what's wrong can make a big difference."
And these words did not stop Xiao Ran from mourning, but made him let go and vent.
Xiao Xu just accompanied him so quietly.
After the meeting, Xiao Ran cleaned up his mood, knowing that he was so old and still crying, he was very embarrassed, so he wiped his eyes casually with his sleeves, and then raised his head, "Brother Huang, what are you going to do with me?"
Xiao Xu withdrew his hand, "Let you return to the imperial court, it is difficult for officials and the common people to explain it, so I'll give you a fief first, and you can settle down there!"
Xiao Ran's eyes trembled when he heard this, "Brother Huang, you are still so soft-hearted."
"No matter what happens, the blood on the body cannot be given up." Xiao Xu said lightly.
Xiao Ran shook his head, but didn't want to discuss this issue any more. He paused for a while, and after a moment of hesitation, he finally summoned up the courage to ask, "I heard that Qingyan is pregnant, how is she doing?"
Before Xiao Xu could answer, Xiao Ran quickly explained, "I have no other intentions, I just ask."
His eyes stayed on him for a while before Xiao Xu said, "She is fine now, and the child is fine too."
Hearing this, Xiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief, and then cautiously said again, "Brother Huang, I want to see her, okay? I promise to have a few words with her from a distance."
At the end, his voice gradually decreased.
Only if you really like to care will you become humble.
Xiao Xu can understand this feeling because he had experienced it before.
"Do you have anything else to say?"
Xiao Ran thought that he didn't want to show his face, and knew that he was not qualified to ask for anything more, and he didn't have the face to see her, and his voice dropped instantly, "No more."
When the words fell, he heard the voice of the emperor standing up, and couldn't help burying his head lower. In this life, he had no face to see him again.
I just heard Xiao Xu walk to the door and stop and say, "I will convey your words to Ayan, take care of yourself."
After speaking, I heard the door closing and the sound of footsteps gradually receding.
Xiao Ran raised his head in shock, his eyes looked through the wooden prison to the straight and stalwart back, and tears quickly gathered in his eyes.
My imperial brother, my dearest imperial brother, until now, you are still willing to tolerate me, I really... Really regret it!
"pat-"
Tears fell.
