Having spent more than ten years in a place where people eat people without spitting bones, Yi Zhongren has an extremely keen intuition for danger. He didn't regret what he said to the King of Yue back then, and he doesn't regret it now, because he didn't think he would meet this person again, even if this person took over the world in the future.
But now, things seem to be in danger beyond his control. If nothing else, he can't just leave the beans. This is also the reason why he feels dangerous. He doesn't want to see King Yue again. If he doesn't leave as soon as possible, it is impossible to guarantee that he will not see that person. But beans...
Yi Zhongren was hesitating, but Huo Yunkai was about to die. It seems that the foster father is determined not to want him and Douzi, how can this be done!
Huo Yunkai didn't know the "grievance" between his father and his adoptive father. Naturally, he couldn't think of that much. He simply didn't want his adoptive father to leave like this. The adoptive father was not only his and his younger brother's savior, but also his master, another father he really wanted to recognize.
He had thought very well before that when his father was victorious, he would bring his adoptive father back to the capital to live a good life. Although the current life is not bad, but with the knowledge and courage of the adoptive father, he is not only buried in this place, but also wronged.
There is also the birth experience of the righteous father. He doesn't want to hear anyone say that the righteous father is a traitor or a villain. He will definitely ask the father and king to correct the name of the righteous father, so that everyone in the world will know that the righteous father is loyal and kind.
But the foster father didn't want him and the beans anymore. Huo Yunkai was very sad. This kind of sadness was the same as the sadness after knowing that his mother had committed suicide, even more sad.
Since Yi Zhongren said that he would not go to the capital with Huo Yunkai and Douzi, the atmosphere in the mansion has been a bit sluggish, especially Huo Yunkai's performance is particularly obvious. When eating, Huo Yunkai didn't speak, and he ate less.
Several times, Huo Yunkai wanted to talk to Yi Zhongren, but Yi Zhongren avoided them. Douzi and Baozi, who didn't know what happened, thought that their father was angry with their elder brother, and the two children were very worried. Daddy and elder brother had never done this before.
When going to bed at night, the beans and buns after washing obediently lie side by side on the bed, waiting for daddy to go to bed. Yi Zhongren, who had packed up, took off his coat and went to bed, only to see the two children looking at him hesitantly.
Glancing across Douzi's face, Yi Zhongren's heart stabbed again. Turning his head, he put down the bed tent and pretended to be okay. He lay on his side and patted the two children: "Go to sleep."
"Daddy..." Baozi's chubby little face was a little melancholy, and so did Douzi.
"What's the matter? Go to sleep." Yi Zhongren covered Baozi's eyes and dared not look at Douzi.
"Daddy." Douzi turned over, looked at Daddy through the bun, and said distressedly, "Did Big Brother do something wrong? Daddy ignores Big Brother. Daddy, tell Douzi, Douzi asked Big Brother to come and pay Daddy."
Yi Zhongren's hand hidden under the quilt clenched into a fist, and said with an unchanging expression: "No, how could eldest brother do something wrong. You two children, don't guess, go to sleep."
The last three words, Yi Zhongren, aggravated his tone, and Douzi and Baozi dared not ask any more. Yi Zhongren loves them very much, but the two children just know to listen to their father's words. Obediently closed her eyes, Douzi lay flat again, and gradually fell asleep under Daddy's tap.
Both children fell asleep, and Yi Zhongren got out of bed gently, put on his coat, and walked out of the room.
At night, there is no heat from the day, and it brings some coolness. Yi Zhongren jumped to the roof with his light work, and looked at the moon in the sky silently. The light of the moon shone down, as if there was a faint golden glow around his body, but this golden glow revealed a little stranger. Don't get too cold.
When he was a child, he was also a naughty boy who gave his mother a headache. In order to cure his naughty, his father invited someone to teach him martial arts and sharpen his vigorous energy.
But after going through a family change and becoming a slave in the palace, his temper became colder and colder, because in that place, if he was not cruel, he would be eaten by people with no bones left. If the parents were still alive, they would not have recognized him as their son.
Uncle Yi who saved him was just a low-ranking father-in-law in the palace. It was not easy to save his life. If he wanted to survive, he could only rely on himself. He had to learn to be cruel and cold. However, no matter how cold he is, he is still a person after all, and his heart is full of flesh. Every time he sees Douzi and hears Douzi calling him "Daddy", he can't say anything to send Douzi away.
But Douzi is the son of the King of Yue and the future prince. Even if he is reluctant, Douzi will not be able to call him father again in the future, nor will he be his son again. Even if Yun Kai and Douzi can't bear him anymore, in the future, when they enter the palace, when they have more honorable status, and when they have other half-brothers and sisters, this illusory father-son relationship will change sooner or later. into the humiliation they are eager to get rid of.
Thinking of this, Yi Zhongren's breath became even colder, and his eyes became firmer. Long pain is worse than short pain, and you must not hesitate when it is time to let go. When it is interrupted, it will suffer from chaos.
Yi Zhongren jumped off the roof and entered the house. The two children slept soundly. He took out a locked wooden box from the closet and took out a key from the foot of the bed. When he opened the box, he found the rest of his savings, including banknotes, gold and silver ingots, and jewelry.
Although he has been raising this large family of people, the money left by Yi Zhongren is enough for him and Douzi to eat for the rest of his life.
When he was one of the thousands of households in Shanghai's security guard, Yi Zhong accepted all the benefits he deserved with peace of mind. Almost all of the family property when the Yue Wang Mansion was raided was given to him, and Yi Zhongren left it to Huo Yunkai and Douzi, including the relics of the two princesses.
After locking the box, he carried the box to Xiaoqin.
Xiaoqin has fallen asleep. When someone knocked on the door, she quickly got up, and when she opened the door and saw that it was Yi Zhongren, she was so surprised, she turned sideways to let him in. "Big brother?"
Yi Zhongren put the box on the table, turned around and asked, "I'm leaving, do you want to follow me or stay here?"
Xiaoqin was stunned for a moment, and then she understood what the other party meant. She pursed her lips and asked, "Aren't you waiting for my godfather and the others to come back?"
"I will send a letter to Huaiqiu. If they don't want to stay in the capital, they will know where to look for me. I'm afraid that there will be many dreams in the night. I can't guarantee that the King of Yue will let me go."
Xiaoqin took a deep breath and said, "I'll go with you. I don't want to be embarrassed by my godfather and godmother. I won't go to the capital, but if I stay here, godfather and godmother have to help me. Think about it. Godfather and godmother are getting old, it's better to go back to the capital."
It's not surprising that Xiaoqin is reluctant to go to the capital, Yi Zhongren patted the box: "This is all my belongings, and I leave them with you. You have started to arrange things in the house in the past few days, and we may leave at any time."
"it is good."
Yi Zhongren swallowed and his voice was a little low: "Be sure to keep it a secret."
"Um!"
After handing the box to Xiaoqin, Yi Zhongren went back. He was so confused that he didn't realize that someone in the shadows was watching him all the time.
Returning to the room, seeing the two children, Yi Zhongren ignored the reluctance in his heart and quietly packed his luggage.
※※※
After meditating in the room, Huo Yun opened his eyes, a look of determination flashed in his eyes. Getting up, he left the room. At this time, Baozi and beans must be playing in the yard.
Before he reached the yard, he heard the laughter of Baozi and Douzi, and Huo Yunkai stopped. Looking around, only two aunts were looking after them, and he felt relieved.
"Douzi, Baozi." Huo Yunkai shouted and strode over.
When Baozi and Douzi, who had just finished their class with their father, saw the big brother coming, they immediately ran over and reached out to hug.
Huo Yunkai bent over, hugged his two younger brothers easily, and asked with a smile, "What did you learn from Daddy today?"
"Brother, brother, I can write daddy's name." Baozi said proudly, holding up his fleshy little hand.
Douzi continued: "Daddy asked us to memorize the Three Character Classic, and Baozi and I both memorized it. Daddy said that he would teach us the "Disciple Rules" tomorrow."
"Baozi and Douzi are really good, will my brother take you to play?"
"Okay!" The two children immediately forgot their recent worries about their father and brother when they heard that they were having fun.
Huo Yunkai took his younger brother to swing. The swing was set up by him and his foster father the year before. Seeing the two swings, Huo Yunkai's heart was a little sour, and his foster father didn't want them anymore. Immediately, his teeth clenched, he must make his foster father promise to return to the capital with them!
After a while, the laughter of Baozi and Douzi spread almost all over the Lin Mansion. The two aunts who took care of Douzi and Baozi safely handed them over to Huo Yunkai and went to Zhang Luo for lunch.
But when it was time to eat, everyone panicked to find that Douzi and Baozi were gone, and Huo Yunkai didn't know where to go.
Yi Zhongren's face sank when he got the news, he rushed back to the house, picked up his sword and left, his eyes were cold and angry, which made everyone tremble with fear. The two aunts blamed themselves, who would have thought that Huo Yun would secretly take the two children away at a meeting
※※※
Huo Yunkai knew that he was doomed this time, and if he didn't die, he would be beaten by his adoptive father for half his life. But in order to keep his adoptive father, he sacrificed everything. He didn't know how to contact his father, and he was not sure what his father's attitude was towards his adoptive father. After thinking about it for many days, he took his two younger brothers directly to the guard camp at Yucheng Pass, and reported his identity as the prince of Yue Wang.
No one could stop his adoptive father to leave. Huo Yunkai put his hope on his father. The adoptive father is their savior, and the father and the king should not embarrass the righteous father. As long as the father and king know what kind of person the righteous father is, and let the father and king know how the righteous father has taken care of him and his younger brother in the past few years, the father and the king will definitely help him persuade the righteous father to return to the capital with them.
Huo Yunkai's appearance suddenly changed the atmosphere in the guard camp. The disappearance of the prince is known to the whole world, and now the prince has come to the door, and the captain guarding the camp is like a formidable enemy. Although he could not confirm whether the identity of the other party was true or false, he definitely did not dare to neglect.
While personally arranging the Prince of Yue and two unidentified children, he immediately sent someone to report to the Prince of Yue. Commander Zhao Dongchuan was stunned by the sudden appearance of the Prince of Yue and broke out in a cold sweat.
Huo Yunkai took his two children to guard the camp. Many people on the street saw it. Yi Zhongren didn't spend much time finding out Huo Yunkai's whereabouts. But before he could get close to the guard camp, he was stopped by a group of men.
"Military camp, leave quickly!"
Faintly, there was the cry of a child, and Yi Zhongren's heart tightened. Tightening the reins, he said directly: "Huo Yunkai! If you don't want to die, hand over the beans and buns!"
"Ha!" There was a gasp from the surroundings, this person actually came to look for His Royal Highness!
"Bold madman! Don't be rude to His Royal Highness!"
The Yizhong people were surrounded. Ignoring the murderous soldiers around him, Yi Zhongren's cold eyes stared at the direction from which the cry came from.
Soon, a voice with obvious lack of confidence came out: "Foster father promised me to come back to Beijing with me, and I will bring steamed buns and beans home."
"Heh!" There was another exclamation, and the team surrounding Yi Zhongren took a few steps back. Is this person the adoptive father of His Royal Highness? !
"Ugh... Daddy... Daddy..."
The cries of Douzi and Baozi were obvious, and Yi Zhongren was furious. The next moment, the sword in his hand almost fell to the ground.
"Woooo... Daddy doesn't want beans anymore... Daddy doesn't want beans anymore..."
Huo Yunkai walked out of the tent holding Douzi and Baozi, and Baozi was crying: "Daddy, I don't want to leave Douzi, Daddy, woohoo..."
Huo Yunkai's eyes were red and his voice was hoarse: "Foster father, I don't want to force you, I just don't want to be separated from you and Baozi. Please forgive me."
After saying this, Huo Yunkai returned to the tent with beans and buns in his arms, and the child's cry suddenly became louder.
"Daddy... Daddy... Douzi is obedient, Douzi is obedient..."
Losing the sword, Yi Zhongren dismounted and rushed into the barracks. Zhao Dongchuan, who came out with Huo Yunkai, stopped the soldiers who wanted to stop Yi Zhongren. With murderous aura in his eyes, Yi Zhongren rushed into the tent as if he was no one.
Huo Yunkai, who was hiding inside, was startled first, then let go of the two younger brothers who were crying in his arms.
"Daddy!" Seeing Daddy, Douzi and Baozi, who were out of breath, rushed over.
Douzi's two little hands were clinging to Daddy's clothes and crying: "Douzi is obedient, Douzi is obedient..."
Baozi blushed as he cried: "Daddy, why don't you want beans... woo... Daddy, buns are obedient, Daddy, don't, don't want beans..."
Yi Zhongren half-knelt on the ground and hugged the two children hard, and said over and over again: "Daddy didn't want beans, Daddy didn't want beans..."
Huo Yunkai stood aside with his head bowed, Zhao Dongchuan stood outside the tent with his head full of confusion, what the hell is going on? Who is this guy
After coaxing for a full hour, Yi Zhongcai coaxed the two children to stop crying. Tired of crying, they fell asleep in their father's arms, but the two children cried so sadly this time that they couldn't stop sobbing even when they fell asleep.
Putting the steamed buns and beans on the hard bed, which was not soft enough, Yi Zhongren looked at Huo Yunkai, who was always silent.
Huo Yunkai knelt down slowly in front of him: "Foster father, hit me."
Yi Zhongren walked over, lifted Huo Yunkai and punched him in the stomach, mercilessly.
Yi Zhongren was really pissed off this time. He didn't care whether Huo Yunkai was the Prince of Yue, or whether he might be the future crown prince, and beat Huo Yunkai to the point of bruising his nose and face.
Huo Yunkai was beaten for the first time in such a big age, but he was willingly, because his adoptive father couldn't leave.
Zhao Dongchuan ordered people to surround the tent with three floors and three floors. At this time, whether it was Huo Yunkai or Yi Zhongren, Zhao Dongchuan would never let them leave the barracks. What's more, Yi Zhongren beat Huo Yunkai like that, and gave Zhao Dongchuan ten courage, and he didn't dare to let go "the son and adoptive father of the son of the king of Yue".
Yi Zhongren was forced to stay in the barracks, and after beating Huo Yunkai, he quickly calmed down. Looking at the swollen eyes and cheeks of the two children crying, he compromised. In fact, he had already compromised when Douzi was crying. To say what is his weakness in this world, it is steamed buns and beans.
He calmly waited for the arrival of King Yue or the imperial decree of King Yue. He didn't care what King Yue would do with him. He had a clear conscience.
After kicking Huo Yunkai out and not allowing him to come in, Yi Zhongren lay down on the bed that was not spacious enough and guarded the two children.
※※※
A team of 3,000 people is rushing towards Yucheng Pass. Five days away from Yucheng Pass, the leader received an urgent letter from Zhao Dongchuan, the commander of Yucheng Pass.
There were two letters, one was written by Zhao Dongchuan and the other was written by "his son". After reading Zhao Dongchuan's letter, the man's expression changed a bit; while for the other letter, he was furious after reading only half of it. After reading it, he immediately ordered to hurry at full speed to reach Yucheng Pass in the shortest time.
Yi Zhongren, are you trying to escape? You and me, who is the coward
