Chiwuxing

.It's just different from the one in my hand, that kind of jade is from Yan Real Estate, and the engraved patterns are mostly flowers, birds, fish and insects, while the one in my hand has wolf patterns.And I know whose it is and have seen its other half. "

Fu Chen raised his eyes.

"Decades ago, the southern barbarians harassed the territory of Yan and caused turmoil. The army of Yan was weak, and the emperor asked Hu and Qiang to help him out of trouble. After the war subsided, the emperor appointed a woman in the palace as a princess to come to Yan. I made a kinship with the land to show my friendship. Later, the palace maid of the Yan Kingdom became my grandfather's third successor wife...and then had two sons, and personally made two pieces of Yan jade for blessing."

"Ridiculous..." Fu Chen muttered in a low voice, still refusing to believe such a coincidence, "It's too ridiculous... Finding it in his tent... may not be his thing."

He Xuyun stared at him, and said: "I have heard rumors about my fourth uncle since I was a child, and I know his name - it is '狁'."

"...No," Fu Chen was obsessed with the mistake of spelling the name and surname, and he no longer wanted to go to Shenzheng. "The word 'Yun' was given to him by others, not his wish. A name can't do much." Count... don't make hasty conclusions about such matters, princess."

"Then let me ask you, I, the beasts of the Hu tribe, only show affection to the members of the tribe. You encountered him twice, the first time you escaped by chance in the cage, and the second time Chao Er was injured, and you were intact. How do you solve this matter?" " He Xuyun asked urgently, "Are you trying to say that you are so powerful that you don't even pay attention to the beasts that are respected by all the Hu people, or that Xixi has a kind heart occasionally, and has formed a fate with you and doesn't want to hurt you? you?"

Fu Chen carefully sorted out his thoughts, and asked hoarsely: "The 'fourth uncle' that the princess mentioned, have you seen him?"

"No," Huxun said, "it is consistent with what you said. He left home when he was young, and I was not born at that time. Wang and his mother are compatriots, but their personalities are quite different. I heard that my fourth uncle was very intelligent since he was a child. He was bullied and belittled, and later left home in anger."

To Fu Chen, these past events sounded very strange, just like a story of a stranger, far away and unreal.

"But in my eyes, what my father said to you is completely two people," Fu Chen recalled piecemeal, "He was on the battlefield, he could carry a long knife, he never cared about others' criticism, let alone Anger makes you temper..."

However, He Xuyun saw a little abnormality in his expression: "Jia Sheng, tell me clearly, do you really not believe it?"

Fu Chen was silent for a moment, then whispered: "...I don't know... can the princess still remember the other details?"

"At that time, he was loathed by his grandfather and relatives because he was lying on the bed all day reading books and books. The Hu family always won by force, and he never expected such a person to appear. Later, my grandfather blamed the court lady who came to make peace. The woman It seems that he didn't like him because of this...My father said that he was naughty when he was young, and he was also bullied and laughed at by other children, and even the fourth uncle ran away and never came back. My father... regrets this to this day," Hexue said in detail, "Perhaps it's because of interracial marriages between Yanman and Manchurian tribes. My father is good at force, and my fourth uncle is good at memorizing. It is said that he has a photographic memory. Unfortunately, there is no place for him to use his talents in Hudi."

The young man closed his eyes and relaxed his eyebrows.

"...There seem to be rumors... that the fourth uncle has some weird abilities, staring straight at the midday sun without damaging his eyesight, and even has the effect of improving eyesight. It's a pity that he is no longer here, and no matter how private people talk about it, it is inevitable It seems like adding oil and vinegar..."

Fu Chen opened his eyes suddenly, and his pupils glowed:

"...I believe it."

"Huh?" He Xuyun raised his eyebrows, and then said in a low voice, "...Only if you met him later, whether it is him or not, you can't tell if you don't agree."

Fu Chensi and the man gave him the other half of the jade, and said: "The princess said at first that there are two pieces of this jade, and the other piece... is at the wolf lord's place?"

"good."

"In addition to being a token of identity, does this jade have other functions in Hu Qiang?... For example, sending orders to dispatch troops..."

"We don't use Yan people's tricks. This jade is purely a private letter. Few people have even seen it," Hexu said. Depend on."

... Is that what you mean?Fu Chen closed his eyes.

He has known Jia Yun for a longer time than him, and has been with Hu people for a longer time.If there are any clues in the life experience, it must be more acute than his perception.

"Princess, even if I am, this matter should not be publicized."

He Xuyun said: "It's only according to your wishes, but my father...he has given up and hated himself for a long time because of the fourth uncle's leaving home. If you don't mind, I still want to tell him, at least it can make him feel relieved. "

Fu Chen said nothing.

Huxun stared at him for a long time, then got up and left the palace.

A gust of wind was blown up by the sleeves of the clothes, turning and condensing the falling sweat on the body, and the warmth caused by the artificial burning of stove coals only made people feel colder and helpless.Fu Chen looked at the wolf pattern painted on the wall of the house, a large group of exaggerated and unknown rough lines were messy and ferocious, and when he looked at it so carefully, his mind and spirit went away.

Before it was time for a cup of tea, the woman went and came back, holding a volume of yellow books in her hand.

"This is the genealogical jade plate of the Utron tribe," He Xuyun unfolded on the table in front of him, turned to the designated page, pointed to one of the columns, and said, "This is the name of the fourth uncle."

Fu Chen turned his eyes and saw that on the pedigree, there was a name that was first crossed out with ink, and then filled in on the side with different shades of ink, which was very eye-catching.

"At the beginning, the fourth uncle ran away privately. According to the rules of our tribe, he was a traitor and had committed serious crimes. The genealogy should be cleared up," Hexun said. "After the father came to the throne, he ordered someone to change it back quietly."

Fu Chen bent his lips: "Actually, it's useless to change it back...Based on what he did later, I'm afraid it's even worse than today's rebels such as the Podo Luo clan."

"You reunited with him later in the Yan Army. From what you can tell, Fourth Uncle...does he want to come back?"

Fu Chen lowered his eyes and said: "In terms of love...he is one of the few people I have ever seen who is full of sincerity and love, and he is very good to his relatives and brothers. But in terms of national righteousness, what he did in the Yan army, They are also sincerely for the long-term development of the soldiers and guards of the people of Yandi, and there is no hatred in the heart of the Hu tribe. Maybe he... wants to come back to see his relatives and family members, maybe he doesn't want to come back, and dare not face the accusations of his brothers in the tribe. "

"Ye Luo returns to the roots. Before and after death, no matter how many grievances and grievances a person has, they all turn into belonging to relatives," He Xuyun said softly, "...come back."

"Within the ministries..."

"Other people's words are trivial matters, and the Royal Department can bear the criticism now... You didn't realize that the fourth uncle you mentioned was yourself," He Xuyun turned his fingertips to the first line under "Huxu Huan" There was an empty seat, and he turned around, "I don't know what will happen to the fourth uncle, but I know that you need your relatives to return."

Fu Chen followed the movements of her hands and watched, and an indiscernible dizziness hit his forehead.The reason for the unexplainable change that was originally planned before, the secrets of the father's family that were tabooed by the mother since childhood, the bitterness and tears of being used because of the wrong meeting, and the hatred and resentment that cannot be discerned for more than 20 years ... The snow is scattered and the people are dead, and the story is new.All these things are now condensed in this small blank space.

Staring blankly for a long time, he didn't want to lie to himself, and said: "...I want to go home."

"I'll help you," Hexun said firmly, "it's hard to take care of the turmoil in the ministries in recent days. I'll send a letter to my father first. As for the rest, it's up to my father to decide... You know, it's not always possible to be honest about this matter now. It's a good thing."

"It's been so many years... why are you so anxious at this moment..."

The young man pursed his lips with her, but he couldn't force a smile.In fact, the woman also misunderstood some of his meaning, where is home?Parents passed away and were buried elsewhere in the wilderness.The Hu people are close, but they don't have many roots. Even if he recognizes the clan and has experienced many things here in the past, how can he regard the royal family as the same relatives in a blink of an eye?

Dad, what were you thinking back then?

"Your real name is 'Sheng'?" He Xuyun asked suddenly.

"Yes," Fu Chen opened his mouth hoarsely, "My mother gave it to me."

Huxun caught a glimpse of his pale, curly hair hanging down when he bowed his head, and for a moment recalled the childhood experience that the young man mentioned in the preface.How did his clever and arrogant biological uncle run around in the border towns to befriend barbarians, and then he was able to enter the Yan Palace, join the military power, and do the job of serving eunuchs that the Hu people have always despised?

"From now on, you will also have a birth name and surname." He Xuyun turned his gaze and said, "In the future, I will add others..."

The chaotic buzzing in Fu Chen's ear gradually subsided, only the woman whispered into her ears.Like a vast expanse of river waves rolling up a lone boat, which was flattened by the torrential wind and rain, floating on the water alone, without a paddle or oar, drifting to the sky without knowing where it will end.It only made him fall into a dream again, and he was very confused——

He, Xu, Sheng.
