Fostering apprentices

"Well, General Yue, I really don't understand why you all have to be so irritable, why can't you learn from the people of the Northern Kingdom and love justice and tranquility?"

"Look at me, now I have done nothing to compete with the world, and I just want to look at Yan Nan, have you seen my sincere eyes?" As he said, he blinked at Yingyue to show himself How big your eyes are.

Everyone in the world said that His Majesty the Northern Kingdom was unrestrained, but now it seems that he is not only unrestrained, but also shameless.

Yingyue now has an urge to smack people to death. With a movement of her hand, there was a coughing sound from inside the room. The expressions of the two people who were stalemate outside the door suddenly changed, and they pushed the door open at the same time.

On the bed, Yan Nan had a silver needle inserted into the top of his head at the moment. He seemed to be having a nightmare, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he was panting and looking ahead.

He dreamed of that scene again, and he was haunted by this terrible nightmare for several days in a row. The dream that seemed real and unreal was like a pair of invisible hands tightly strangling his throat, making him unable to breathe.

"Is Ah Chu gone?" The first sentence he opened his eyes, he asked about Mu Chu, Yingyue hummed, sat by his bed and said: "I left a few days ago, Tuoba Hao is here With him around, nothing will happen."

Yan Nan didn't reply, he just lowered his head and stared at the quilt covering his body, his eyes were dull, no one knew what he was thinking.

After a long time, he slowly raised his head and said to Yingyue, "Go to North Street and bring me back a box of rouge."

Yingyue glanced at Chu Heng who was also in the room, her eyes were full of warning, as if she was saying that if you dare to do anything, I will stop you when I come back.

Chu Heng groaned a few times in disgust, closed the door as soon as Yingyue left, and walked to Yan Nan's bedside with another smile on his face.

Before getting close to him, a long sword glowing with silver light was pointed at his neck. Today is really the second time someone pointed a sword at his neck. He is also the leader of the party anyway. Why is it like this in Nanling? What about being treated unkindly?

Yan Nan looked cold, and there was no trace of warmth in his eyes looking at Chu Heng. His hand holding the sword was still trembling, and he didn't have the strength to kill someone at all, but Chu Heng could see the hatred in his eyes. I mean, he's seen this kind of thing before, and it's exactly the same as when his relatives were killed when he was a child.

Once upon a time, Yan Nan himself hated his enemies like this.

Suddenly, Chu Heng thought of something. From receiving the news that Yan Nan appeared in the Goulan Courtyard, to being targeted, and now to the hatred of the entire General's Mansion towards him, there is only one thing that connects all these things, and that is the first few The massacre of the Goulan Courtyard happened in July.

From the very beginning until now, his appearance was only to prove that the people from the northern kingdom had set foot in the massacre, and he was ordered by Chu Heng. The other party simply wanted to involve this series of things on him. What hatred?

Or are you trying to cover up something?

"Let me ask you one more question, did you do that?" Yan Nan said calmly, but he didn't put down the sword in his hand at all.

Chu Heng laughed lightly, not afraid of the long sword in his hand, and slowly approached him, Yan Nan was stunned, and when the tip of the sword was about to stab Chu Heng's chest, he immediately withdrew the long sword, and the sword fell to the ground , making a crisp sound.

When he came back to his senses, Chu Heng was already sitting by the bed, and he stared at Yan Nan's face with fiery eyes, as if he wanted to carve him into his bones.

He sighed softly and said, "You don't even want to kill me, I'm not a beast, what are you doing to your friend?"

"Yan Nan, I don't know anything about Goulan Courtyard, do you believe it?"

Yan Nan didn't speak, but just looked at Chu Heng motionlessly. At this moment, his heart was very confused, dream and reality were mixed together, and he couldn't even tell where was which.

After a long time, he finally opened his mouth and said, "Is there any cure for the poison on my body?"

"You haven't told me who poisoned you yet."

Yan Nan paused, and said, "You don't need to know this, you have to tell me whether the poison can be cured, or how long can I last?"

"I don't know." Chu Heng answered truthfully. He really didn't know if there was an antidote to this poison. If it was someone else, he could take the risk to try the antidote, but only Yan Nan couldn't.

In case of failure, Yan Nan's life would be in danger, and he couldn't take the risk.

Outside the window, the rain that had been falling for several days stopped, and the flowers on the table were changed again and again. Yan Nan stared at the delicate and beautiful flowers. Now he is like these flowers, only knowing that he is The ending, and I don't know when I will get to the ending.

What is the process, painful or happy.

Yan Nan let out a long sigh, looked at Chu Heng, his lips parted slightly: "I believe you."

...............

In March of Yangchun, the peach blossoms in the courtyard finally bloomed. There were no people in this palace, and it was very quiet recently.Mu Chu carried the freshly made rouge drunk to the peach blossom tree, then dug a hole and buried the wine jar.

After burying it, he followed the example of another person and made a mark in the small mound so that he would not be able to find it when he wanted to dig it.

"Your Highness, the Emperor asked you to go to Chengde Hall."

The guard's voice came to his ears, Mu Chu continued to do his own work as if he had never heard of it, and when all the steps were completed, he slowly got up, picked a peach blossom and put it in his palm.

He said softly, "Master, do you miss me?"

He has been here for almost a year, and his life is pretty passable. No one dares to ask him to wash clothes, cook, and no one dares to scold him, or even speak rudely to him.Every day, rich clothes and fine food are served by the palace people every day, and the days are getting more moist every day.

Some people say that he turned from a pheasant into a phoenix, and suddenly he was lucky.

Some people also said that he is not the son of the former emperor, but just a pawn that the emperor has found to block the mouths of many people.

However, it doesn't matter, he won't care about it, and he won't care about it, anyway, he will leave here sooner or later.

When we arrived at the Chengde Hall, this was the study of the emperor, and ordinary civil and military ministers could only look at it once from a distance. He had no memory of this place, not even a vague outline. Mu Chu didn't care about the other people kneeling outside the study. Prince, walked in directly.

"I've met the emperor." He didn't make any big salutes, but just nodded towards the man who was helping the case.

This is what this man promised, and he is not hypocritical. The son has gold, so it is the best thing not to kneel down.

Looking at the young man who came in, Mu Nian didn't seem to be angry at his late arrival. He put down the Langhao pen in his hand, and his serious face just now changed into a smile.

He beckoned to the person standing in front of him and said, "Ah Chu, come here, how about coming to see my painting?"

Mu Chu looked at him suspiciously, wondering why his uncle let him see these things. The so-called landscape paintings were just a thatched cottage standing on a wasteland, and there was not even a single person in the painting.

Painters can't talk about how good their skills are, but they can barely talk about it as a painting.He had seen the paintings drawn by those people in the Goulan Courtyard before. They were of various kinds, and the things drawn by different moods were naturally different. Mu Chu didn't pay too much attention to the paintings. He smiled and said: " What do you think of the painting on the wall?"

The direction he pointed was the place where the only painting was hung in the entire study. Mu Nian was stunned, his eyes darkened as he looked at that painting.

It's just a very ordinary landscape painting, even the pen and ink are of the worst quality, but the landscape he painted is quite different from the one he is holding now.

The same happy landscape, the same longing for the outside world, but the state of mind of two people will always be two boundaries.

"Do you know who painted this?" Mu Nian asked hoarsely.

Seeing Mu Chu shaking his head, he continued: "Your father drew this by himself on my birthday."

"At that time, in the first year of the war with Nanling, your father, the emperor, marched in person. I followed him and watched him win battles again and again."

"Until..." Mu Nian said, his eyes darkened a little here, and he turned his head sideways to stare at the silent Mu Chu, as if he wanted to see another person through him.

"Until the two young generals of the Yan family led their troops into battle, even Mobei, who had been in a neutral state, sent troops to support the Second Young Master Yan."

Hearing the familiar name, Mu Chu's eyes moved, and then he heard the other party say: "I have met the second son Yan a few times, and he is also a handsome young man. If he is born as a girl, it will definitely cause chaos in several countries."

Tuobahao also said this sentence before, but now it doesn't sound like the slightest bit of envy, on the contrary, it's a little more mocking.

It's not hard for Mu Chu to understand the meaning. With a cold face, he kept a good distance from the emperor uncle. The two of them were like a pair of ordinary monarchs and ministers, extremely unfamiliar.

"What the emperor wants to say, Mu Chu is clumsy and really can't understand."

"The Yan family, it's not as simple as you think, your master..." He wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Mu Chu's words.

"No matter what my master is, he is my master and will always be, and others insulting him is insulting me." He directly stated his position, no matter when and where, no matter what happened, He will always stand by Master's side, even if his wings are not strong enough, he will spread his wings to protect Master.

That was his master, the person he wanted to care for for the rest of his life, and it was not up to others to point him at him.

Seeing his swearing appearance, Mu Nian didn't lose his temper like before, but instead sighed strangely, then reached out and handed the jade pendant in his arms to Mu Chu: "This jade pendant is left to you by your father." , You still have to learn a lot in the future.”

"This Dongyue still belongs to you."

Just like that painting, what he puts his love on is always only the landscape that that person likes.
