Seeing that it was Lu Zhuan, the servant at the gate rushed to greet him and let him go into the mansion without daring to stop him.

When he came to the mansion, before Lu Zhuan reached the atrium, he saw a little girl in a pink snow fox padded jacket with a bright red face, reaching out to pick a white plum in the courtyard.However, the plum blossom branch grew a little higher, and the little girl stood on tiptoe, which was also a little short.

Seeing this, Lu Zhuan walked forward quickly, and easily picked off the plain snow-white plum, with a doting smile on his face: "Nian Zhao, do you still remember Brother Qingtong?"

The little girl turned around and looked at this big brother who was much taller than herself. After taking a serious look, she was not afraid of strangers.

His eyes were suspicious, obviously he couldn't remember.

Xiao Nianzhao couldn't remember himself, and Lu Zhuan was not angry, he handed the pure white flowers into the hands of the little sister, and then pampered her little head.

At this time, Guo Huai came not far from the front.

Seeing this big disciple of drama, Lu Zhuan cupped his hands and bowed, with a refined face: "Brother Boji, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come here to be safe."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Guo Huai bowed and saluted, he didn't seem surprised to see Lu Zhuan.

Later, under Guo Huai's guidance, Lu Zhuan came to a house. At this time, Xie Ce was lying on his side on the couch, with his back to the door, taking a nap.

"Actor, the eldest son is back." Guo Huai whispered outside the door.

In his light sleep, Xi Ce slightly opened his eyes, sat up from the bed, and asked Guo Huai to take Lu Zhuan to the lobby to wait first, then called his servants to dress him, got up and went to bed.

Lu Zhuan sat in the lobby for a while, chatting with Guo Huai in less than half a cup of tea, a servant came out with some tricks.

Seeing Xi Ce sitting in the wheelchair, Lu Zhuan's face was full of surprise. Uncle Xi Ce in front of him completely subverted the image of a scribe in his memory. It was a world of difference, completely different.

Although he was thinner than before, his energy is still there, and there is always a calm confidence in his speech and demeanor, as if everything is well-thought-out and under his control.

But now the person in front of him, with protruding cheekbones, is so thin that only a layer of skin and bones is left, his face is terribly pale, without a trace of blood, and he still has the slightest demeanor of the past. He is not like a unparalleled national scholar, but More like an old man who is dying and dying.

When looking down, Xi Ce's legs were covered by two layers of thick blankets. Although he couldn't see them, who would make a wheelchair for a normal person?

Lu Zhuan asked subconsciously: "Uncle, your leg..."

"It's okay, it's just a leg problem." Seeing Lu Zhuan's concerned expression, he smiled and waved his hands slightly, his words were very indifferent, as if he didn't care.

"Then does father know..." Lu Zhuan asked again, but he remembered that every time Xi Ce replied to his father's letters, he always said that he was in good health and his bones were getting stronger day by day, so that his father needn't worry.

My father also believed it, so he was very relieved to fight against the traitors on the front line.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Lu Zhuan would not have believed that his uncle's tricks would be so ill.

Xi Ce still didn't take this seriously, he just said: "Your father was fighting against the rebels on the front line. I have a minor illness, and I will recover after a few days of recuperation. There is no need to tell your father."

"But this is no small matter!"

Lu Zhuan's face was solemn, with a hint of anxiety: "If father knows that uncle is sick like this, he will definitely return to Chang'an to see you no matter what!"

"That's why I can't let your father know." Xie Ce shook his head slightly, he didn't know Lu Bu's temper.

It's just that right now, Lu Bu and Liu Bianjun are confronting each other, and there will definitely be a battle that will determine the fate of the world.

Next to Lv Bu, there were Guo Jia and others to offer advice, and he was very relieved of the plot, but his only worry was that after knowing that he was ill, Lv Bu would rush back to Chang'an desperately.

If this is the case, Liu Bian and other rebels may take advantage of the loophole.

The whole world is more inclined to the former than mere remnants of life, after all, he has devoted decades of hard work to this.

"Qingtong, please promise me that you will not tell your father about this." Xi Ce grabbed Lu Zhuan's arm, his gaze was particularly firm.

"I……"

Lu Zhuan opened his mouth, but the words stuck in his throat.He could have easily freed himself from the grip of Xi Tie, but he hesitated.He is different from his younger brother, Lu Xiao. As the elder brother, he understands more truths, and also understands the current situation. If his father returns to Chang'an, the rebels may take advantage of the situation.

But if he doesn't say it, once his father finds out about it in the future, he will definitely be furious.

For a while, Lu Zhuan hesitated in his mind.

"Qingtong, your father and other uncles and I have worked together for so many years, and many of our old friends have been buried in the sand. Don't you have the heart to see the foundation laid down by your father be ruined?"

Seeing that Lu Zhuan was hesitant, Xi Ce played the emotional card.

"But..." Lu Zhuan hesitated to speak.

"There's nothing wrong with it. This is how life grows. I told your father back then, and let's take a closer look. You are far smarter than your father. You should know these words even if I don't say them."

What Xi Ce said finally made Lu Zhuan calm down. He nodded and said solemnly to Xi Ce: "Okay, uncle, I promise you!"

Seeing Lu Zhuan nodding, a rare smile appeared on Xi Ce's face, and he said to Lu Zhuan, "Qingtong, push me for a walk in the courtyard."

Lu Zhuan responded softly, then walked over, stood behind Xi Ce, and pushed the wheelchair towards the outside of the hall.

Walking along the river corridor in the mansion, the brilliance of winter falls on the calm river surface, sparkling.

Lu Zhuan's footsteps were very slow, pushing forward slowly.

On the way, Xi Ce asked Lu Zhuan: "Qingtong, do you know why I only called you back this time, and not your sister or brother?"

Lu Zhuan didn't think much about it, and gave a more reasonable answer: "Maybe my nephew is a little more sensible."

Hearing this, Xi Ce shook his head, and then asked a question that seemed unrelated to this matter: "Do you still remember what you said when you were two years old?"

Lu Zhuan didn't understand why Xi Ce mentioned this, he just said he couldn't remember it.

No matter how good his memory was, he couldn't remember such a long time ago.

Lu Zhuan couldn't remember, so Xie Ce told him. Even after so many years, many memories have gradually become blurred, but only this incident, Xie Ce still remembers very clearly.

"When you were two years old, your father went to Liaodong. Little Lingdang and Man'er all ran to see the general off, but you were the only one hiding in the yard and sulking. I happened to bump into you at that time, so I asked you, why? Aren't you going to send the general off?"

"You were a little timid at the time and didn't dare to answer me."

"Later I went to get candy for you, and you told me that you hate the current emperor because he always separates the general from your siblings. You also said that when you grow up, you will be the emperor yourself .In this way, you can send other generals to fight, and father can stay at home..."

Recalling the conversation with the little guy back then, Joce laughed, as if in a blink of an eye, the shy little boy back then had already grown so tall.

"Uncle, the nonsense you said when you were a child can't be true."

Lu Zhuan showed embarrassment, he could not remember this matter for a long time.What's more, if the emperor is in power now, if this word is spread, it will do a lot of harm to the Lu family and the big man, but will not benefit at all.

Therefore, it is better to forget it early.

"what about now?"
