Lu Min walked out of the palace gate, but did not board the carriage back home.The horse sneezed in the wind, and the fallen leaves whirled on the ground.The winter wind was abnormally cold, and dry snow fell from the sky, hitting people's faces, which was painful.

The street was empty except for Lu Min's thin figure.Ao Lie followed him unhurriedly, not knowing where he wanted to go.

A zither song sounded slowly, at first it was extremely soothing, and as the snow fell more and more heavily, the sound of the zither gradually became more and more intense, until everything was calm, the snow swished down from the sky, and it was almost as if it fell on the ground. lost sight.

"Come with me. Don't stay in Jialan, this country will perish sooner or later." A person appeared beside Lu Min.Ao Lie's heart tightened, seeing that person, his figure looked familiar.

"Don't talk about it anymore. There's no point in talking about it."

"You're out to get revenge on me, aren't you?"

"No." Lu Min's voice was flat, but with a tiredness that Ao Lie had never heard before.On weekdays, Lu Min is a conscientious right-hand minister, the right-hand man of His Majesty, and a proud scholar.He is young, full of talent, assists in reforms, and follows suit. "The current emperor is a good emperor."

"So what? There is a good emperor, but he was born in the wrong era. If it had been earlier, this country would not have been so difficult. Do you think Danxi will give Jialan a chance to make a comeback?"

"In the early years, I did many wrong things, but I won't do it now, senior brother, my name is Lu Min, and I am the son of the loyal minister Lu's family. I am no longer your offspring."

The man was obviously angry, grabbed Lu Min's hand, and pulled him in front of him, "Do you dare to say it again?"

"Let go, second prince!" The second prince? That is the second prince Qing Jiaye who killed the coach Anguo in a surprise attack on Jiangcun three years ago? Ao Lie's chest was full of sparks, and the sword in his hand immediately came out of its sheath. Go to that person.

There was a pain on Lu Min's lips, and he was separated immediately.Ao Lie stood in front of Lu Min, protecting him behind his back.

"Qing Jiaye, it's really unexpected. You haven't left Liangdu yet?"

"The most dangerous place is the safest place, besides, I want to take my people?"

"Your man? How can my majestic Jia Lan's right-hand man be your man?"

"Yan'er, tell him what relationship you have with me."

"I..." Lu Min was about to speak, but was interrupted by Ao Lie: "Now you'd better not say anything? Now the general doesn't know who to believe, so you better shut up."

Ao Lie raised his sword and pointed at Jiaye. "Second prince, this general has always wanted to meet you. Three years ago, if it hadn't been for stealing, sowing dissension, and surprise attacking Jiangcun, how could I, Jialan, have been defeated and returned, and how could our army's commander, General Anguo, have been defeated and died. Nice to meet you."

Qing Jiaye clapped his palms and smiled, and said, "Can I take this prince as a compliment?" He said it a little complacently, but then changed his tone: "But I didn't come up with such a clever plan, Yan'er, Do you agree?"

"That's enough..." After finishing these words, Lu Min's face was very pale, but only a burst of energy in his heart kept him from falling down.

"Am I wrong? Yan'er, what reason do you have to accept this man. Come back to me."

Ao Lie's heart was also filled with turbulent waves, how could it be possible? The Lu Min in front of him was not the man in Tsing Yi he was usually familiar with, talking about the world with eloquence, elegant and powerful.

"Lu Min, let me ask you, is it true?"

The lip that Lu Min bit was almost bleeding.He looked into Ao Lie's angry eyes, but still spit out a word.

"Yes."

"I don't believe a word." Ao Lie gritted his teeth.Anguo used to be the general protecting the country of Jialan, and he was the god in the hearts of many soldiers. As long as there was General Anguo, the people secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After these words, the three of them were silent, and the snow was still falling, but Ao Lie's sword moved, and Qing Jiaye's hand moved, the two figures intertwined, and the fluttering white snow turned into powder.

With a bang, Ao Lie's saber collided with Qing Jiaye's black whip, and the whip wrapped around the saber. The distance between the two of them was shortened in an instant. In a short while, the punches and kicks had passed more than a dozen strokes.

Until, Ao Lie received a whip on his left leg, and the sword in his hand slashed Qing Jiaye's left shoulder severely, and the two of them stopped panting.

And Lu Min had disappeared.

Lu Min didn't know where he was going, but just walked slowly.I thought that if I didn't think about it, it wouldn't exist together.I thought that as long as I worked hard to make up for it, everything would be over, but until that person appeared, all the regrets and tortures were torn apart again, and it was painful.He staggered to the gazebo by the river and sat down quietly.The cornices were covered with icicles.But Bailang hurried west, and some past events emerged.

The person I once loved deeply is no longer familiar.What happened three years ago was like a nightmare.

"You lied to me." Ao Lie's right leg was still dripping with blood, and when he found Lu Min, he was a little out of breath.

"I did not lie to you."

"You clearly know that I like you."

"Then take it back."

"Take it back, how can you take back what you gave?"

"He was right. The death of General Anguo three years ago was indeed my responsibility." Lu Min had a bleak smile on his face, and Ao Lie's face was abnormally stiff.When he died, as his son, he could not shed a single tear.But General Anguo is his mentor, and he once swore that he would kill the person who killed his mentor to pieces.But the person in front of him said it was his responsibility? Why?

"Aren't you from the Lu family? How could you have anything to do with Danxi's second prince?"

"It's true that I am from the Lu family, but I also belong to the old man Shengu. Qing Jiaye is my senior brother." Lu Min closed his eyes, Fu Er opened them, and took a deep breath.

The Kamiya in my memory is always so green, without snow or cold.When Lu Min was 15 years old, his father felt that he could no longer teach him anything, so he entrusted Lu Min to the old man Shengu who lived in seclusion in the mountains, and taught him how to assist the country.

That year, Lu Min met Qing Jiaye.At that time, Danxi had grown stronger, while Jialan was getting weaker and weaker. Lianjue was still eight years away from becoming the throne, and nine years before Dongli met Lianjue.Because of the special identities of the elders of Shengu, there is an unwritten rule in the valley, that is, after entering the valley, no real name can be used. The old man of Shengu gave Lu Min a word, which is Yan.

The five years in Shengu Mountain were very quiet, learning the art of deduction, the way of controlling the country, and the Qimen Dunjia. Lu Min studied very hard, but he didn't know how to behave in the world, so the relationship with his brothers was not very good.However, Qing Jiaye always appeared when he was in distress. Gradually, Lu Min got used to his kindness, followed him unconsciously, and planted an unknown love until the war between Danxi and Jialan break out.

"Yan'er, come with me, the people in the palace told me to go back."

Lu Min was already the most proud student of the old man Shengu at that time. When he said that he would leave with Jiaye, Shengu sighed: "Yan, as a teacher, I will not force you to stay, but you should think clearly, don't regret this road. .”

"Master, I won't." That was a vow, which showed the cruelty of the reality in the future.

Qing Jiaye returns to Danxi to help Danxi attack Jialan.At that time, the people of Jialan were in dire straits, the court was chaotic and rampant, and Lu Min thought: "Jialan is so tired, so it will be the same if you change the emperor." The young and energetic boy really thought that the world is just as simple as changing the emperor.He helped Qing Jiaye make careful plans, step by step, it doesn't matter if others say he is an idiot, it doesn't matter even if others think he is shameless, as long as the senior brother is there.

On the eve of the first battle in Jiangcun, Danxi's army attacked Zhuozhou and beheaded 6000 people in the city. Yan strongly opposed it, but it was completely useless.

Immediately afterwards, Qing Jiaye married Liu Mengru, the prime minister's daughter, and gained the support of the prime minister. With the power to aspire to the throne, Lu Min's father sent a family letter severing the relationship between father and son.

Lu Min's expression was sometimes happy, sometimes worried, until despair turned calm.The corners of the eyes were dry and painful, and there were tears but could not be released.

He laughed at himself, and his voice was very calm: "Senior brother said that he would not marry others, but he still married. He also said that he would not kill them all, but he still killed them. At that time, I knew that some things would not be imagined. as simple as that.”

On the eve of the battle of Dongyu, Lu Min tried every means to leave, but found that he couldn't get away.What's more, Qing Jiaye threatened Lu Min's father.

What happened later, it was logical that Anguo died in battle, Jialan Kingdom was destroyed, the new emperor succeeded to the throne, and the land was ceded to pay compensation.

Ao Lie's fists rattled.The teeth hurt.He put the knife on his hand, but couldn't pull it out.

Dongli Yutian and Lianjue were sitting in the Wentian Pavilion of the Zhaixing Building, drinking hot wine, the wind howling outside, isolated from the hustle and bustle of the banquet, and their hearts were clear.

"So, you already knew Lu Min's identity?" Dongli Yutian looked at Lian Jue with a smile.

"It wasn't very early. Once, when Lu Min came into the palace, Qing Yao saw it and mentioned a few words. I asked Yan Jingling to investigate carefully before I found out."

"Do you dare to use such a person?"

"There is no doubt about employing people. Besides, Lu Min is indeed a genius in this world, which is beneficial to our country, so why not use it."

Lu Min's voice was still echoing.Over the years, no one knew how much regret they had in their hearts.

"Shortly after the death of General Anguo, my father also died of illness. He didn't forgive me for what I did until he died. He said, the Lu family has been loyal and good for generations, how could there be such an unfilial son like you?"

After Lu Min finished speaking, he chuckled again.Yes, Ao Lie had never seen such a lonely Lu Min, as if a hole in his heart had been cut deeply, bleeding out countless times.

"If you want to kill me and avenge General Anguo, I have nothing to say." Lu Min quietly waited for Ao Lie's decision, feeling sad and calm again.
