Shen Zechuan immediately smiled and said, "It's not a big secret either... Goodbye."
"Why don't you finish listening." Xiao Chiye lost his finger and regained it, and he was in a good mood. "Since Ji Gang is your master, then we are brothers from the same sect. I am older than you, so it's not a loss to call you brother."
"The Ji family has nothing to do with Libei." Shen Zechuan quickly recalled five years ago when he and Xiao Chiye had a fight in the snow, and there was a lingering sense of familiarity at that time.
"That's not necessarily true." Xiao Chiye said, "Who can say for certain things like fate."
Shen Zechuan waved to Ge Qingqing and Xiao Wu, sat back next to Xiao Chiye and said, "You checked Ge Qingqing."
"I can't forget it." Xiao Chiye looked at him, "Five years ago he ran so fast, and five years later he was so close to you. So dazzling, how can I not be suspicious? Check it out, You can find out the details of him."
"What do you want to do?" Shen Zechuan asked with a smile.
"I don't want to do anything." Xiao Chiye raised his fingers and pointed Shen Zechuan's eyes, "There's no need to force a smile, we can be considered friends of life and death, it's boring to try to be strong. Bar."
Shen Zechuan said, "That's almost."
Xiao Chiye flipped his chopsticks upside down, and touched the table for a while, he said, "Since Ji Gang is your master, then it makes sense for the Jinyiwei led by Ge Qingqing to spare your life. "
"You are deeply suspicious." Shen Zechuan looked at the brown oil stains accumulated on the tabletop, "That kick didn't kill anyone, so I became suspicious. I tried many times, but I really persevered."
"There are only a few of my advantages." Xiao Chiye said, "It's all on you."
"Since it's from the same class," Shen Zechuan said, "Isn't it justified if you don't report your teacher's name?"
Xiao Chiye threw the chopsticks back into the bowl in a bored manner, and said, "First call Senior Brother to come and listen."
Shen Zechuan was silent.
Xiao Chiye said: "Ji Gang is also a man. I sent someone to Duanzhou to inquire, but others thought he was burned to death - did Xiao Fuzi kill him?"
"No." Shen Zechuan straightened the chopstick holder, "My master is already old, how could he kill a living being?"
There was some wind at this time, and neither of the two moved.
Xiao Chiye said, "You seem to have done nothing, but I think you have done everything."
"Whether I do it or not, you will never let me go." Shen Zechuan propped up the stool, turned to Xiao Chiye, smiled slowly, and said warmly, "Then why don't I do all the bad things, so that you can hate me too? a reason."
the next day.
When Xiao Chiye entered the palace, he learned that Wei Concubine was dead.
Li Jianheng has changed his clothes. He has been crying haggard for the past few days. He sat in a high position and said, "It is said that he slipped his foot and fell into the well. The body was not found until last night."
The foot also slips too neatly.
Seeing that there was no one left or right, Li Jianheng asked in a low voice, "Ce'an, could it be you..."
Xiao Chiye shook his head.
Li Jianheng seemed to be relieved. He fidgeted in his position and said, "I live in the palace now. When I open my eyes at night, I can see the eunuch, which is very scary. They used to call Pan Rugui their ancestor. , now the ancestors are still in prison! Ce An, do you think they will hate me... "
When he complained, it was all fear. In the end, Xiao Chiye was transferred to the forbidden army, and he first took over the important patrol duties in the palace.
Naturally, Xiao Chiye would not refuse. After a while, he listened to Li Jianheng say, "A letter from Libei said that King Libei and your eldest brother are on their way. Ce'an, you can see them in a few days."
Li Jianheng was a little flattered. When he was about to become the master of this world, he was even more cowardly than before. That mighty arrogance seems to have been worn away in Qiuhun, and he has already understood who is the power.
Xiao Chiye didn't plan to award a reward, his wish was clearest to Li Jianheng. But until today, Li Jianheng has not spoken about letting him go back to Libei.
Xiao Chiye didn't change his face, but his heart sank.
Five days later, the king of Libei entered the capital.
It was raining in autumn that day, Xiao Chiye rode out of the city early in the morning, stood in the pavilion where he was giving away, waited for two hours, and finally saw a few eagles flying out of the sky.
The "slam" on his shoulders was instantly excited, and he rushed into the rain to reminisce with his brothers and sisters.
In the rain, the iron cavalry came straight, like a thick ink painting in the water, and swayed in front of Xiao Chiye. He didn't wait for the cavalry to approach, he first pulled out of the pavilion and greeted him in the rain.
"father!"
Xiao Jiming laughed right away and said to his father in front: "He looks tall and big now, but when he sees his father, he reveals his true form."
Xiao Fangxu took off his bamboo hat, leaned over and buckled it on Xiao Chiye's head, looked at it for a while, and said, "I have grown taller."
Xiao Chiye grinned and said, "That's right, eldest brother is half a head shorter than me!"
"I'm proud." Xiao Jiming said, "Since I've grown older than me, I have to mention it every year."
Xiao Fangxu asked Zhaohui to lead the horse, and turned over by himself, raised his arms and hugged his younger son, patted his back heavily, and said, "Silly boy!"
Xiao Chiye was photographed laughing, and he said, "I've been waiting for a long time, did something happen on the way?"
Zhaohui said, "The young master caused a cold at home. The prince made a special trip to Dengzhou, and asked Master Yigui to visit his house."
Xiao Chiye said, "A Xun is ill? Why didn't eldest brother mention it in his letter!"
Xiao Jiming said: "You don't have to worry about the minor problems, and Yizhi is taking care of them at home."
Xiao Chiye felt a little lost.
When he left Libei five years ago, his sister-in-law was pregnant, and now little A Xun is four years old. He has not seen it before, and he can only know some interesting things about his little nephew from the letters from his father and brother.
He wants to go home.
Xiao Chiye's loss was fleeting, and he said with a smile, "I have prepared a birthday present. This time my eldest brother goes back, he will bring it back for me."
Xiao Fangxu brushed the eaves of his bucket hat and said: "Before leaving, Xun'er specially painted a picture for you, and I will ask Zhaohui to show it to you later. This is not a place to talk, enter the palace first, and return to the palace at night. , it's not too late for us, father and son."
A group of people mounted their horses and drove into Qidu.
* * *
Libei Wang has not been seen for many years, and now the four generals in the world have become famous, and few people remember Libei Wang Xiao Fangxu.
Mrs. Qi had gained weight in the autumn, and now he was washing his feet in the rain, rubbing his toes, and said, "If you say that there are four generals in the world, there were some twenty years ago. Xiao Fangxu from Libei and Qi Shiyu from Qidong, Lu Pingyan of Bianjun, and Feng Yisheng of Suotianguan, are the commanders of the Sifang army and horses. After Feng Yisheng died in the battle, the Feng family was gone. Now I am afraid that no one remembers the name, but back then it was all about horses stepping on border crossings, A warrior who swept the edge of the sand."
"Feng Yisheng?" Ji Gang was cooking inside and responded loudly, "Why doesn't anyone remember? Chuan'er! Both of General Feng's sons died in battle.
Shen Zechuan served the meal and said, "Master's eldest brother?"
Ji Gang patted his head and said, "I forgot to tell you!"
Master Qi shouted: "Is the meal ready? Oh, his eldest brother is Zuo Qianqiu! What is there to say, I can guess it!"
Shen Zechuan served the food, set up chopsticks for Master Qi, and said respectfully, "Sir, eat."
Mrs. Qi took a sip of wine and said, "It is most comfortable to be served by someone."
Ji Gang wiped his sweat, sat on the other side of the small case, and said, "You just said that Xiao Er said he went out with us, I'm afraid his master is Zuo Qianqiu!"
Shen Zechuan took two bites of rice.
Ji Gang sighed: "I haven't seen him for many years. Have you played against Xiao Er this time, how? Is his swordsmanship going strong?"
Mrs. Qi said, "Let Lan Zhou eat first, and then talk when he's full. This time it's dangerous, there's no rush, and you can rest for a few days."
"I should have thought of that earlier." Ji Gang said, "Xiao Er wears a bone spanner, and the person who can pull a strong bow best in the world is Zuo Qianqiu."
"Xiao Fangxu has also entered the capital now, you are not sure that you will be able to meet your elder brother." Master Qi picked up the dishes, "Zuo Qianqiu fought to the death in Tianfei's palace, although he blocked the Biansha cavalry, he also killed his wife. He got the name of 'Lei Shen Yutai' because of that battle, and because of that battle he was stunned. It is rumored that he became a monk, maybe he was protected by Xiao Fangxu, and he taught his son for Xiao Fangxu incognito."
Ji Gang said sadly: "As soon as a general is successful, the bones will be withered, but what about his reputation? In the end, it is a swirl of loess. Ma Ge was wrapped in a loyal and good life, and the survivors were not happy. Zuo Qianqiu buried his name, Xiao Fangxu died of illness, and Lu Pingyan was old. Twenty years from now, where will the four generals be now? It's just the waves crashing into the sand and replacing them from generation to generation."
Mrs. Qi was slightly drunk and watched Shen Zechuan eat. After a long time, he said, "It's too bad to suffer in vain for the rest of your life. After all, you will all die. It's better to let Ling Yunzhi die! Lan Zhou, come and eat another bowl. !"
It was already dark by the time we were full of wine and food.
Mrs. Qi was lying on the mat, and Shen Zechuan sat under the eaves to wipe his feet. Ji Gang took out two jackets, put them on for the two of them, and squatted in the corner to suck the smoking gun.
Mrs. Qi leaned on the papaya and said, "Lanzhou, tell me the situation of the hunting ground again."
Shen Zechuan stated it in detail.
Master Qi closed his eyes and listened. After Shen Zechuan finished speaking, he remained silent.
The vines in the yard were drenched in rain and tickled the leaves. After I didn't know how many times I ordered, Mrs. Qi said: "In this battle, Xiao Er seems to be in the limelight, but he is trapped in the same situation as his father and brother. The new emperor has been called brother to him for five years, and he has hidden it. So deep, how can I teach people not to be afraid? Now the new emperor can still read his life-saving love, but how long can this love endure? I thought that with his patience, he could endure a little longer. There are hundreds of ways to get Qi Zhuyin to do this, but he did it himself."
Ji Gang banged the ash in the dark and said, "The wolf cub also wants to go home. In his dreams, he is a pasture in the north. How old is he? A little bit of spirit is a young man."
"If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan." Master Qi said, "If he can endure this time, won't he be able to go home as a playboy?"
Xiao Chiye was standing outside the palace gate, looking up at the shadowy palace. These red walls and eaves seem to be the ordeal given to him by God. Beneath his frivolous appearance, he is a beast with a silent roar.
Shen Zechuan sat on the side, and at this moment strangely understood the meaning of Xiao Chiye's actions.
He wants to go home.
He wanted to go home in an upright manner as a person.
