Fostering apprentices

I don't know if someone knew about the people in Huguo Temple or they had a premonition. After Yan Nan finished offering incense, he turned around and saw Master Zhichen. He glanced at the folding fan in his hand and said with a light smile, "I haven't seen you for a long time, Master. The kung fu of going without a trace is getting better and better."

"The second son was joking, whose lightness kung fu is better than the number one master in the world?"

When the two arrived at the backyard, it was still the bamboo pavilion when they first met. Yan Nan remembered how old he was when he first saw Zhichen. His mother took him to offer incense, but he never knelt down. I was reprimanded by my mother.

In the past, he obviously hated this bald donkey the most, but now he has become a confidant.

"Second Young Master, is something bothering you recently?" Master Zhichen poured a cup of tea and put it in front of him: "But for the emperor's emphasis on civility over martial arts?"

Yan Nan looked at the tea in front of him, but he didn't drink it. It was the same as before, ordinary tea, ordinary water, but the drinkers were not so ordinary.

"The emperor intends to weaken the Yan family. It seems that he regards the Yan family as a thorn in his side. This time, the destruction of Prince Yun's family is also aimed at the Yan family." He said truthfully: "Yun Qing is no better than Yun Jing. Before Jing passed away, he told me about the hidden treasury, but now Yun Qing's actions made me have to think twice."

"Has the Second Young Master considered what to do next?" Master Zhichen asked.

He shook his head, even now he doesn't know what he should do next, whether to continue to make suggestions for the future of Nanling, or to go against the emperor's wishes to rescue Su Qing's father, the matter is too much and involves too much, he can't find it at all. to the way out.

"Since the young master has not been found, let the old man ask, the second young master still remembers why you resigned from the official position and went against all opinions to adopt the prince of Dongyue?"

Yan Nan was stunned for a moment, and said: "Promise, I have agreed to the request of an old friend, I must do it, to prevent the former emperor from being infamous as a tyrant, and to overcome all opinions, I would rather not be an official, but protect one person."

Master Zhichen nodded, and said: "At the beginning, the second young master could hold very little in his heart. The love between children and his daughter accounted for half of it, and the promise of old friends accounted for half. Only the word "country" did not let the young master realize it."

"So in the past, the son did not have any scruples about his behavior, and the eldest son and the first emperor stood behind him, but now, the son is only one person, and he pretends to be a country in his heart. He has scruples about everything, but he finds that this country is not what he thought. Alright, so the young master is naturally a little disappointed, disappointed with those in power, worried about him."

"My lord wants to be this villain to maintain Nanling's future foundation, but have you ever thought that people with high positions and powers have never had a good end since ancient times, not to mention that your lord is different from those powerful people in the past. Do you listen to some rumors? I don't see it, but it spreads among the public, even if the young master is unintentional, but the listener intends it, it will be another matter if it reaches the ears of others."

Yan Nan looked at Master Zhichen, his lips moved, but he still didn't say something, he picked up the cold cup of tea in front of him, and drank it with his head up: "This is exactly where I am confused."

"What do you think of today's tea?" Master Zhichen asked.

"It's okay, it's no different from the past."

"The tea is the same, and the water is also the water from the mountain behind the temple, but the origin of the tea is different, and it is even more precious than before. The young master drank too much of the tea that is more precious than this tea, so naturally he can't taste the taste of it. , or even forget. People all have selfishness, but few people remember the word "true heart."

Yan Nan's hand holding the teacup paused, and the tea splashed on his clothes. He was born in an aristocratic family, and he didn't experience much poverty. When he was a child and lived in the military camp, he thought about one day defending the country and galloping on the battlefield.

Later, his sons and daughters love each other, even if he is in the land of fireworks, he always calculates the people around him, uses the world as a pawn, and designs to kill Dongyue soldiers for the revenge of his best friends.Even by Yun Jing's side, he has placed Su Qing, the girl he has been sorry for the rest of his life, Chu Heng, Tuoba Hao, Jiang Bei, he has used them all, just for Nanling?

Yan Nan didn't know.

Master Zhichen continued: "Young master has been burdened with more and more burdens along the way, some are important and some are not important, but you are not sure who these burdens are for. I heard that you have delegated power before. But now it seems that the power in the young master's hands is getting heavier, and the obsession is getting deeper and deeper, and the obsession is deeper, and the demons are stronger."

"Besides, you don't have a lot of time. Instead of looking forward to the future, it's better to cherish the present, so as not to be infamous in the future. Sometimes, letting go and letting things take their course is a relief."

Let nature take its course?He chuckled, and when he poured another cup of tea, the color of the tea leaves in the tea was indeed much darker than before, and when he drank it, the taste changed a lot.

He is like this tea leaf, with the same name, but the essence has begun to change.

"I will think carefully about what the master said." Yan Nan said: "I have one more thing to do when I come here today. I know that you and my mother are close friends. The master has already told me some things about the past. Master, I want to ask, Yicheng, Really betrayed my mother?"

A strange gleam flashed in Master Zhichen's eyes, and Yan Nan's calm face changed when Yan Nan said this. He folded his palms together, silently recited 'Amitabha', then sighed, and said: " What I can only tell you about this matter is that what you see and hear may not be true, there are many things that your mother and your biological father can't help themselves."

"Master said the same thing," he said softly, with a disappointed look on his face: "I'm going to go to Dayan after this is over."

"Then, at Dongyue, did the young master leave with someone?"

Hearing these words, Yan Nan almost spit out the tea he just drank. Fortunately, he swallowed fast enough so that he didn't lose his manners in front of the Buddha, but he was also choked up by Xiao Xiao. He stared at the tea in shock. Master Zhichen asked hesitantly: "What did the master say... why did you take someone away, my son... what, I don't know anything."

Master Zhichen smiled slightly, put his hands together and said: "Some time ago, I was watching the sky at night, and found that the young master Hongluan was moving, and the two emperor stars were getting closer."

"What nonsense." His ears turned red suddenly, and his eyes couldn't help moving away: "The master has learned to make such jokes...I...I..." He really couldn't come out, Being exposed in public, his mind is still a monk who has fallen into Buddhism.

"Emperor Dongyue is really a good-looking talent, and he is also the [-]th Five-Year Master. My son's love life is bumpy. I hope to meet a good man and stay with him in this life." Zhi Chen looked at him, completely different from the handsome young man a few years ago. Similarly, when the Dongyue Emperor was mentioned, all the gloom in his eyes disappeared, like a young man who had just begun to fall in love, this appearance was exactly the same as his mother back then.

Master Zhichen sighed, he never said the last word of the celestial phenomenon, although the red luan is moving, but there is no destiny, after all, it is a dream.

When Yan Nan returned to the General's Mansion, Su Qing had already prepared dinner. When she saw his figure, she smiled slightly at him and asked, "Should the General eat first or take a rest?" After she finished speaking, she walked to Yan Nan. Nan's side, holding his hand, the two of them are like a newlywed couple.

Su Qing said softly: "Someone is watching the General's Mansion, the little prince has been sent to another hospital."

"When did you come?"

"In the morning, the opponent is a dead soldier, which is different from the hidden guards of the palace."

Yan Nan glanced at the dark place, and there was a slight chill in his eyes. The emperor came to monitor the prime minister's mansion so grandiosely. The emperor couldn't do it now. After all, the new policy was only issued, so the prime minister was the only one.

"Don't worry about it, let them monitor." He wanted to see what the prime minister, an old man, was planning.

At nightfall, Yan Nan left a substitute in the study and went to another courtyard by himself. Su Qing just brought Yun Yi back today. Someone received the news so soon. It seems that there are many ghosts in the mansion.

As for who he picked up, apart from Su Qing, no one else in the general's house knew. The old man was also curious, and wanted to take this opportunity to catch a braid or something.

In the room, the lights had not been extinguished, and the person in the room had been standing by the window for a long time, looking around every once in a while, with an anxious look on his face.

As soon as Yun Yi woke up, he was brought into this small courtyard. He didn't even know where it was.

Finally, there was a sound of Li's footsteps not far away, and he immediately hid behind the door, carefully poking out his eyes to look at the people who came.

When he saw who it was, Yun Yi had a shocked expression on his face, but he was more relieved.

"Are you awake?" A cold voice rang in his ears, Yan Nan was holding a jug of wine and some side dishes in his hand, it didn't look like an interrogation at all.

Since Yun Yi had a leg broken by Yan Nan last time, his awe of him has also increased a lot in his heart, but after going through the events of the past few days, his feeling towards Yan Nan has improved a lot.

But I was still a little afraid of this person.

He swallowed, Yan Nan took one step closer, he took one step back, two steps closer, he took two steps back, until there was no way to go back, he almost fell to the ground.

"Am I that scary?" Yan Nan felt that he hadn't done anything harmful to this child. The only time he broke the child's leg was when he broke the child's leg. Judging from the situation of these few meetings, the child was really afraid of him. ah.

He claims to be romantic and suave, and he has never seen anyone so afraid of him.

Of course, this is just Yan Nan's own opinion of himself.

He stood up and sat down, reached out and put the food he brought on the table, and looked at the person sitting on the ground: "Eat, let's discuss life after eating."

For the first time, Yun Yi felt that there were people more terrifying than his uncle in this world.
