But I didn't know then.

I led the little wolf cub to the hot spring in the bedroom.The surroundings of the spring pool are warm as spring, and the water mist is curling up. He couldn't stop sneezing, obviously he caught a cold. I opened my arms, and the eunuch undressed me, and I went down the pool first, and immersed myself in the warm spring water. However, the little wolf cub stood by the pool, wringing his fingers in bewilderment, looking at me in the water.

I lazily leaned on the wall of the pool: "Come down quickly, what are you doing there in a daze, do you want to get cold?"

The little wolf cub froze, and took off the clothes stuck to him. He was still very thin, but he had the shape of a boy. There was a striking tire mark on his bronze chest, which seemed to be the shape of a wolf's head. The outline of wolf pupils and wolf claws can be distinguished, hiding some indescribable evil.The barbarians worshiped Sirius as a god, but we regard it as a disaster.But I wanted to bring our uncle and nephew closer with a purpose, so I resisted the urge to throw this ominous bastard out, waved to him, and let him approach me.

I scooped up water with a jade spoon and slowly poured it on the little wolf cub's head: "Tell Gu, what's your name?"

The little wolf cub's naturally sharp blue eyes flickered, and he replied sullenly, "Xiao Du."

Xiao Du, alone, a lone wolf——

I thought of how he was squeezed out by the princes, and thought, it really is a very suitable name for him.

But he sighed: "Okay, very good. Du means unparalleled in the world. Among thousands of mortals, you are the only one who is extraordinary and outstanding. Xiao Du, your name determines your destiny. You are destined to be the most outstanding one among the princes."

Xiao Du stared wide-eyed, thinking that he had never known his own name for this explanation, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a few words: "My father never told me so."

I raised the corners of my lips: "Then from today on, you will remember what Gu said, and don't waste this good name in the future."

Xiao Du nodded, his face changed from cloudy to sunny, he was a child after all, with a simple heart, he could be coaxed away with just a few words.I laughed secretly in my heart, raised my hand and rubbed his head, raised the jade spoon to water him, and straightened his messy hair. I have a noble status, and I have never done such a thing for others. Xiao Du Naturally, he had never been served like this before, not to mention that the person who served him was his uncle, who was stiff, blushing and thick-necked, flattered.

"Huang, Uncle Huang...why do you treat me so well?"

I gently scratched his scalp with my fingers, and my tone was deliberately gentle: "Perhaps I feel that I have a destiny with you, otherwise I would not pick up the personal treasure that I lost that day. Besides, you are the nephew of the orphan, the orphan What's wrong with hurting you?"

Xiao Du remained silent and didn't answer my words, but the little wolf cub who had been neglected since he was young must have been very grateful to me as the emperor's uncle.His eye circles were reddish, but he was staring intently at one of my hands. I could tell that he was looking at the finger marks left by Xiao Lan, and there was a finger-pull mark on the finger marks.I withdrew my hand, but he asked without hesitation: "I was on the other side today and saw my father come to the emperor's uncle. Is it the father... who bullied the emperor?"

"Of course not." I just thought Wuji's words were very funny, I was not in a hurry to provoke their father and son, I got up and asked someone to put on a robe for me, after I got out of the bathroom, I lay down in the bedroom, but I didn't know that Xiao Du was in the pool After dawdling and soaking for several hours, he passed out. Fortunately, the eunuchs found out in time and picked him up.

After waking up, Xiao Du was like a wolf dog that has recognized its master, wandering around in the courtyard of meditation, but refused to leave.

I allowed him to sleep in Yousi Court for the whole night, until the next day, the old eunuch who left his post came and took him away.

Xiao Lan is busy with government affairs and important matters of setting up a queen, so he has no time to take care of his princes, and the princes push out Xiao Du. Only me, the prince's uncle, can accommodate this little lone wolf who has nowhere to live.From that day on, Xiao Du often ran to me, and he ran more and more frequently.As the winter passed, our uncle and nephew really got closer.

Although I am physically weak, I can still teach him reading and calligraphy, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, astronomy and geography, art of war and power, and sometimes teach him riding and shooting skills through calligraphy and painting.What I didn't expect was that Xiao Du was extremely intelligent, extremely savvy, and he learned everything very quickly, even far better than when I was young. Surprised.

In the coming spring, Xiao Du will be 14 years old.

A boy of this age grows very fast, especially because he is of barbarian blood. After a summer of royal hunting, when he came back, he had grown beyond my shoulders. Although he was still thin, his bones had grown. Quite a lot.The barbarian man is nearly eight feet tall, with broad shoulders and long legs. I don’t know if Xiao Du will grow that tall, and if he will become more and more barbarian, becoming fierce and wild, and difficult for me to control.

I was thinking so restlessly, spread the territory of Kyushu on the table, and taught Xiao Dushi to remember the territory of Mian Kingdom.

The shape of Kyushu is like Xihe leaning on the sun. Mian Kingdom is located at the place of the sun, so the name of the country is Mian. The south of Mian Kingdom is the vast ocean, the east is bounded by the ice and snow land of Lin Kingdom, the west is bordered by several small grassland countries, and the north is a vast expanse. In the desert, there are four large barbarian settlements scattered, which are monsters and monsters. They are divided into time and time. Among them, the tribe that believes in the wolf god is the most powerful. It has formed a country and is closest to the border of the Mian Kingdom. It has been in constant friction with the Mian Kingdom for several years. .

Listening to my narration, Xiao Du slid his finger close to the place I pointed, and asked curiously: "Uncle Emperor, why did I feel a little familiar when you mentioned the Chi clan, as if I had heard it from someone a long time ago?" the existence of this tribe."

My heart skipped a beat, and I thought to myself, could it be that his barbarian blood is from the Chi clan?

But of course I couldn't explain it clearly, so I just evaded it vaguely, Xiao Du's expression darkened, but he didn't ask any more questions, and listened attentively.After I introduced the whole territory, Xiao Du was able to silently draw a rough outline, but the drawing was extremely ugly, which made people laugh.He seems to be born with no talent for painting, and he can't even draw a smooth line. It is futile for me to lead him to use the brush. After finishing a layout, Xiao Du is not tired, but I am sweating.

Sweat dripped on the paper roll, and the ink was dizzy. Xiao Du, the little wolf cub, was very sensible. He got up and helped me sit down. Khan, go back to your room and rest?"

I nodded feebly, but I caught a glimpse of the familiar towel in his hand, and I couldn't help being slightly startled.

"This veil..."

Xiao Du hurriedly tucked it into his sleeve, daring not to raise his eyes like a thief, his thick eyelash feathers blocked a pair of green wolf pupils: "It was given by the emperor at that time, the emperor said, it can strengthen the body, I I always… take it with me.”

This little wolf cub really believes it.I narrowed my eyes narrowly, and rubbed his messy hair that refused to be subdued by the hairpin.Over the past few months, this has become a habit of mine, and Xiao Du is not disgusted, no matter how I touch my head, pinch my face, and shout and drink, I am like a tame puppy.But later I found out that Xiao Dusheng was rebellious. He hid the wolf's true nature so well that I didn't notice it in time when I watched him grow up.

"Go back earlier, don't wait until it's dark to be hungry." I didn't keep him down for dinner, and hurried him away. In fact, I wanted to call my hidden guard who was hiding in the actor's room to discuss matters at night.Tomorrow is the day when the Queen's Conferment Ceremony will be held in the palace, Xiao Lan is inseparable, I can use this opportunity to do something.But when I stood up, I felt dizzy for a while, and I couldn't stand still. Maybe I had been concentrating all afternoon and I was exhausted.

As soon as I leaned over, I was supported by a pair of thin arms. Xiao Du hugged me horizontally with all his strength. Only then did I feel his strength. I was as light as a feather in his arms. It was effortless, and he was only 14 years old.I was a little embarrassed, and I couldn't help but squinted at the little wolf cub. I saw his face was sideways, his jaw line was as sharp as a knife carving, and he was very heroic. He was no longer the kid he was two years ago.

It's only been two years, it's grown too fast.I sighed in my heart, I am still young, but I am getting old very quickly. I only hope that this sharp knife can be drawn out of its sheath soon before I get old.

Xiao Du strode out of the study with me in his arms, and when he passed the vestibule, he suddenly froze.

I looked sideways and saw a figure standing behind an open window in the vestibule.

The man was dressed in green, with a gloomy expression, and he was as silent as a ghost, and no one announced his arrival.

I gathered myself together, supported Xiao Du to stand firm, and smiled casually: "Tomorrow is the ceremony of conferring empress, why did the emperor take time out of his busy schedule to visit Gu? I didn't send someone to inform him in advance, Gu is ready to prepare." Prepare."

Xiao Lan didn't respond to me, but just stared at Xiao Du coldly: "Du'er, why are you here with your uncle right now?"
