"Daddy."

Two five or six-year-old children walked across the threshold hand in hand, and Yi Zhongren who was reading put down his book and reached out to the two of them.The two children ran up to their father and climbed onto his body.

"Daddy, Baozi wants to go out to play."

"Daddy, Douzi also wants to go out to play."

Yi Zhongren patted the heads of the two children: "Okay. You go and tell the eldest brother, Daddy will take you out to play."

"Daddy is the best!" Baozi gnawed heavily on Daddy's face, leaving a puddle of saliva.

"Daddy is the best!" Dou Zi pursed his lips, and pressed his face firmly against Daddy's, leaving a puddle of saliva as well.

After drooling, the two children quickly got off their father's body, holding hands and looking for their elder brother.

Watching the two children leave, Yi Zhongren wiped his face, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.Stretching, he got up and changed into a change of clothes, wrapped around the soft sword, and went out.

After waiting for too long, Huo Yunkai came over with a younger brother in his hand, with beads of sweat on his forehead, it was obvious that his practice was interrupted by the two younger brothers.

"Douzi and Baozi are going out to play, you should go too, and relax occasionally." Yi Zhongren said lightly.

Huo Yunkai nodded. A 16-year-old boy can already marry a daughter-in-law, he is considered a half-adult, his temperament is more calm and restrained, and people often forget that he is only 16 years old.

"Wipe your sweat."

Huo Yunkai raised his hand and wiped his face with his sleeve: "Okay."

The Yizhong people didn't say how rude his actions were, and took Baozi and Douzi: "Let's go."

The two children were so excited, they chirped and yelled what delicious snacks they wanted to eat. Whenever they said the same thing, the Yizhong people agreed.Huo Yunkai held Baozi's other hand, and his face was a little more relaxed and comfortable with his family.

It has been six years, six years have passed in a blink of an eye, Huo Yunkai has grown into an adult, and the two children are also six years old.

Yi Zhongren has also passed his thirties, but God seems to want to compensate him for the suffering he has suffered in those ten years, without leaving any marks on his face.

In the past six years, Huo Yunkai has changed a lot. If Huo Feng saw his son now, he would definitely not recognize him.

What Yizhong people have become the most is the tranquility in him, a kind of tranquility of letting go of everything and returning to oneself.Of course, this is when no one provokes him.

There are only two "men" in the family, Yi Zhongren and Huo Yunkai, which will naturally arouse some people's evil intentions.In particular, Xiaoqin's beauty can be regarded as one of the best in the capital, and I don't know how many people are coveted in Yuchengguan, and even those who are not afraid of death have taken a fancy to Yizhongren.

The Yizhong people used his sword to tell these people what it means to seek death, and now no one dares to attack them.

Once on the street, Yi Zhongren picked up the buns, Huo Yunkai picked up the beans, and many people looked over.

The low-key and mysterious Lin family has attracted more and more attention in Yucheng Pass in the past two years.Whether it's the handsome Yi Zhongren or the young and promising Huo Yunkai, the eyes that pay attention to them contain curiosity, inquiry, admiration, and covetousness.

Huo Yunkai's good mood was ruined by these eyes, he naturally knew how attractive his adoptive father's face was.

Shooting cold eye knives in all directions, Huo Yunkai managed to scare some people away, but others boldly stared at Yi Zhongren without fear of death.

On the other hand, Yizhong, as if he didn't notice these eyes, walked indifferently, and asked Huo Yun to pay for the snacks he wanted to eat, such as buns and beans.As long as they come out with Huo Yunkai, the Yizhong people never pay, and let Huo Yunkai decide.Under the tempering of Yi Zhongren, Huo Yunkai can be said to be proficient in all eighteen martial arts.

Baozi and Douzi happily ate candied haws, and Baozi struggled sensiblely: "Daddy, Baozi will go on his own."

When Douzi heard this, he immediately said, "Brother, Douzi will go by himself."

Yi Zhongren put down the chubby buns, Huo Yunkai put down the beans, and the two children held hands and licked candied haws.

While wandering aimlessly, a small group of people came galloping, and Yi Zhongren and Huo Yunkai immediately picked up the two children and rushed to the side of the road.

Immediately afterwards, they heard the leader shout: "The king of Yue defeated Kun! Enter the capital! The king of Yue defeated Kun! Enter the capital!"

Yi Zhongren's heart skipped a beat, and Huo Yunkai took a deep breath, his face instantly showing ecstasy.But when he looked excitedly at his adoptive father and was about to say this, his heart skipped a beat.

"Let's go back."

Yi Zhongren's expression was very light, and his eyes were very light.

Huo Yun panicked happily: "Father."

"We'll talk about it when we get back." Yi Zhongren picked up the bun and walked home.

Baozi stopped licking candied haws, and Douzi stopped licking candied haws, what happened to Daddy?

※※※

The news that King Yue defeated Kun State and entered the capital spread throughout Yucheng Pass in an instant, and everyone believed that this news would soon spread throughout Southern Chu State.

For six years, the soldiers and horses of the King of Yue won successive victories.

Two years ago, the new leader of the Tianshen Sect died inexplicably, and the Tianshen Sect collapsed completely. Most of the congregants became soldiers under the command of the King of Yue.Without the Huanwei and Yuqinwei of the Yizhong people, they would have no power to fight back against the army of the King of Yue. If it hadn't been for the Kun Kingdom's downfall, the King of Yue would have been able to attack the capital long ago.

Soon, more definite news came.The King of Yue personally led an army into the capital, the Empress Dowager Ru committed suicide, and the little emperor who escaped from the palace was beheaded by soldiers who did not recognize him.

Kun Kingdom's 50 soldiers and horses were lost in this war, and the King of Kun Kingdom surrendered. Kun Kingdom was willing to become a vassal state of Southern Chu Kingdom and cede six cities.

Amid internal and external troubles, the King of Yue won the Southern Chu Kingdom and defeated the Kun Kingdom. The call for the King of Yue to ascend the throne is getting louder and louder. The common people believe that the King of Yue will bring them a prosperous age.

Compared with the firecrackers going off outside, the whole Lin Mansion looked a bit dull.Let Xiaoqin take away the two children, and the Yizhong people summoned everyone.Huo Yunkai hadn't been so panicked for a long time, his adoptive father was too calm, so calm that he was a little indifferent.

"King Yue, you have won."

Yi Zhongren spoke flatly, and the others nodded, this was the result they had expected a long time ago.

After seeing these aunts, elder sisters and younger sisters who have been with him for so many years one by one, Yi Zhong said: "Back then, you were persecuted by the two guards and had to leave the capital. Now the king of Yue is about to rule the world, and it is time for you to return to glory."

"Ruhai, what are you talking about?" Aunt Zhang was upset, "We are all old women with one foot in the coffin, so there is no return to glory. When your old brother and Huaiqiu come back, let's go together How nice it is to live here."

"Yes, yes." Everyone agreed.Although glory is beautiful, after experiencing life and death, plainness is what they want.

"Since you think so, let's talk about it after the old brothers come back or receive a letter." Yi Zhongren looked at Huo Yunkai.

Huo Yunkai immediately said: "I want to be with my adoptive father, and Douzi can't do without you."

"I won't go back to Beijing with you."

One sentence from Yi Zhongren cut off Huo Yunkai's hope, and the blood on Huo Yunkai's face faded instantly.

Yizhong endured his reluctance, and said: "I finally left the capital, and I will not go back after leaving there. You are the son of the king of Yue, and your father is already the king of the world. You are probably the prince. You You must go back to Beijing, and Douzi must also go back to Beijing."

"Father! You are the savior of me and Douzi, and also my father's savior. I can guarantee that my father will treat you with great gifts when I return to the capital! Do you have the heart to leave Douzi?" And me.

Yi Zhongren clenched his teeth, how could he be willing to leave Douzi?Douzi and Baozi never left him. Now that the two children sleep at night, they must also sleep with him.He is not the father of the two children, but he really treats them as his own sons.But.If you don't want to, you have to!

Taking a deep breath, Yi Zhongren stood up and said in a cold voice, "I've made up my mind. If you really regard me as your foster father, don't make things difficult for me."

Without giving Huo Yun a chance to speak, Yi Zhongren left.

Huo Yunkai's blood froze almost instantly, and before that person left, he yelled in a daze, "Father! Are you really willing to leave me and Douzi behind?!"

Yi Zhongren stopped, turned his back to Huo Yunkai and said ruthlessly, "I'm not your real father." After saying that, he strode away.

"Father!"

Huo Yunkai wanted to chase, but was stopped by Aunt Zhang.Aunt Zhang winked at the others, and everyone left in silence.

Huo Yunkai's eyes were red, and tears rolled in his eyes since he hadn't cried since he was 11 years old.Foster father, don't want them, don't want him and Dou Zi.

Aunt Zhang pulled Huo Yunkai to sit down and patted him: "Maizi... Oh, Yunkai, don't blame your adoptive father. The capital city and the palace are his sad places, you have to understand him. Besides, now Everyone thinks he is dead, and when he returns to the capital, someone will definitely discover his identity. He has so many enemies, and now that he finally has a peaceful life, why would he want to go back?"

"He doesn't want me and Douzi anymore." Huo Yunkai's nails dug into his palm.

"It's not that he doesn't want you, it's that he can't want you anymore. After your father ascends the throne, you and Douzi's identities will be completely different from ours. I will definitely not agree with you to recognize him as a foster father."

"He is the foster father of me and Douzi, and will always be!"

Wiping away his tears, Huo Yunkai got up and left.Even if he is the emperor, his foster father is still his foster father!

Huo Yunkai who ran out did not look for his adoptive father. He knew his adoptive father's temper well, so he would not change the decision.How to do?What can I do to make my adoptive father change his mind?

Huo Yunkai calmed himself down, he had to think of a way, he had to think of a way before his adoptive father left.

He had a premonition that his adoptive father would leave them quietly.

"Daddy, what's the matter with you?" Douzi asked worriedly, holding Daddy's face in both hands.

Baozi also looked worried and dared not speak.

Yi Zhongren, who was holding the two children, kissed Douzi on the forehead, suppressed the sadness of parting and said, "It's nothing. Daddy is thinking about something."

"Daddy, Douzi is obedient, Daddy is not sad." Although Yi Zhongren tried his best to cover up, Douzi could still see that Daddy was sad.

Yi Zhongren's eyes were hot, and he forced a smile at Douzi: "Douzi and Baozi are so sensible, how could daddy be sad?"

"Daddy, is Baozi getting fat again?" Baozi, who was being forced to lose weight by all the grandmas, was very scared.Baozi is a veritable bun, plump and round.

Yi Zhongren was amused by Baozi, but his heart felt even more uncomfortable.

"The buns are not fat, that's how daddy likes buns."

"Douzi likes it too." Douzi didn't forget to express his position. He didn't quite understand why the grandmas didn't want to let Baozi eat more.

Hearing that both Daddy and Douzi liked him being fat, Baozi patted his fleshy belly and laughed.Baozi laughed, and Douzi laughed too.Children are the easiest to satisfy and the easiest to be happy.

Looking at the smiling faces of the two children, Yi Zhongren felt his heart ache so much.

※※※

In the capital, Huo Feng, who occupied the imperial palace, did not shout excitedly or vent his heart out. He still has one very important thing to do.

Xu Baicai, He Jia, and Ruan Xingtian all joined him before attacking the capital. Huo Feng handed over the aftermath to his four subordinates and those who assisted him along the way. The appearance of walking.

"My lord, Lord Yuan please see me." A guard shouted from outside.

"Please."

Stuffing several hundred taels of silver into the baggage, Huo Feng walked out of the former emperor's bedroom.

Yuan De bowed to Huo Feng, and said: "King Yue, the world has been settled, and the old minister lives up to his trust. I have a heartless request, and I ask the King of Yue to agree."

"You say."

Huo Feng admired and respected these veterans very much.

The corners of Yuan De's eyes were a little wet, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Zhongren has suffered great grievances for us people, and he has shouldered too many responsibilities that should not be borne by him. The old minister implores the King of Yue to let the people in the world know Zhongren's loyalty, The grievance of heavy people is something that we have always been thinking about in our hearts."

Huo Feng supported Yuan De with both hands, and said in a deep voice: "Even if you don't tell me about this matter, this king will do it. This king owes him more than one life, and this king has ordered someone to draw up an order to pay Yi Chong back." The name of the person is clear."

"Old minister, thank you King Yue for your kindness!"

Yuan De, former prime minister Zhang Deyuan was so moved that he was about to kneel down, but was stopped by Huo Feng.

"Old prime minister, please tell me where he is."

Hesitation appeared on Zhang Deyuan's face, Zhongren would not want the prince to know.

Seeing this, Huo Feng immediately said: "If you don't tell me, this king will also go to investigate. Now the world belongs to this king, and this king will definitely find him. Old Prime Minister, this king will not make things difficult for him, this king just wants to Thank him face to face."

Huo Feng played hard and soft, whether Zhang Deyuan said it or not, he would find a way to find out where Yizhong was.Six years, he has been waiting for six years.

Looking at King Yue's resolute face, Zhang Deyuan said: "Will King Yue promise that the old minister will never embarrass others?"

"This king agrees! This king has already packed his bags, and this king wants to meet him in person."

Zhang Deyuan was very surprised, he didn't hesitate anymore, he said: "Jiang Ren, at Yucheng Pass, Lin Mansion."

There was obvious surprise and excitement in Huo Feng's eyes.Letting go of Zhang Deyuan, he turned around and rushed into the bedroom, took the package and strode out, saying, "I'm going to find him now!"

"My lord, I will go with you." Zhang Huaiqiu stood at the door of the bedroom, with Ruan Xingtian beside him.

Zhang Huaiqiu said: "I don't want to return to the capital. If you insist on going back to Beijing, you have to think about how to persuade him."

Huo Feng's eyes were gloomy, and he threw the package to Ruan Xingtian: "This king will let him return to Beijing obediently."

Zhang Huaiqiu's eyebrows tightened.

Without further delay, Huo Feng walked to the stables after leaving the dormitory, Ruan Xingtian and Zhang Huaiqiu followed him.Looking at the prince's hurried steps, Zhang Huaiqiu felt that his father seemed to have done something stupid.Heavy people must be angry.

On the grounds that the world is uncertain,

Huo Feng, who had just ascended the throne, found Yi Zhongren,

Forcibly take him back to Beijing,

It also gave him supreme power and absolute trust.

All of this is not only to repay the kindness of the Yizhong people,

It is also to firmly grasp Yi Zhongren, whom he fell in love with deeply.

Remove the glamorous makeup, fade away the coldness of the disguise,

Yizhong's revenge was avenged, and he no longer has no attachment to the power of the court, but the affection in Huo Feng's fiery eyes made him fear...

He has experienced too much suffering,

Can this man let him let go of the past and be serious for a while?
