The King of Liang, the feudal lords outside the town, and the generals inside

"I heard that King Liang's birthday is coming, and many people have sent congratulatory gifts, how about you? What are you going to give?" Princess Chunyi asked.

Yan Xun was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came back to his senses, "Mother, you asked me to go shopping with you to buy gifts for Bai Yu?"

"Of course not. I have already prepared the congratulatory gift. How can I wait until now?"

Yan Xun then asked, "What gift did you prepare for him?"

Princess Chunyi smiled, raised her eyebrows and said, "I can't tell you yet. I asked you to come out with me because your sister and brother-in-law are about to leave for home. I want to bring them something back, Da Zhou's Some things cannot be bought in Weiyan."

Yan Xun looked at Princess Chunyi and understood something in a daze.He said: "When my sister came back, she also brought you a lot of special products from Weiyan. Mother, do you miss your hometown?"

Princess Chunyi's eyes darkened, and her voice lowered, "For a woman, there is no hometown. Wherever the husband is, there is the hometown. At the beginning, I strongly opposed your sister's distant marriage, but in the end I couldn't stop it. Stay. Your father said that you can listen to me about everything in this life, but you can't listen to me about your children. But how did he know that he has his military glory and his bright future, and I, only you three child."

Yan Xun sighed silently, and asked, "How long has it been since Rong Ling came home?"

Princess Chunyi said: "After that incident, he never came back. Your father punished him to kneel in front of the ancestral tablet for an hour every day, and he only went back and forth between the servant's mansion and the ancestral grave, and did not go anywhere else. I I've been to see him several times, but he won't come back with me."

Yan Xun nodded and said, "Mother, don't worry, I will let him go home."

After wandering around the market all afternoon, Princess Chunyi bought a lot of things, and then returned home contentedly.

As soon as she got home, Princess Chunyi did not want to delay at all, and immediately went to have some private conversations with her daughter.Yan Xun chatted with his sister for a few words, then gave them the time wisely.

A little girl was standing outside silently, Yan Xun closed the door and came out, turned around and almost bumped into her.

This is one of his sister's two daughters, they are twins, Yan Xun still can't tell the difference.

"...as wished?" Yan Xun thought for a while and asked her.

"I am Ruyi. Uncle." The little girl pouted.

Yan Xun let out an "oh" and said, "Are you looking for your mother? She's inside."

Yu Ruyi shook her head, "I'm here to find you, I have something to ask you."

"what's up?"

Yu Ruyi took a deep breath and quickly asked, "Uncle, are you really with King Liang?"

Yan Xun froze for a moment, then nodded.

"..." Yu Ruyi opened her eyes wide, as if trying to think about something, and then reconfirmed after a while, "Yes, are you like a husband and wife? Like my parents?"

"Yes, just like your parents."

Yu Ruyi was like an eggplant that had been beaten by frost, and quickly wilted.She looked sad, "But... Uncle, I am also 16 years old, and King Liang is as old as me."

Yan Xun: "..."

He was silent for a while, and managed to squeeze out a seemingly kind smile, "Prince Liang will be 17 years old the day after tomorrow."

"I'll be 17 next month." Yu Ruyi blinked.

Yan Xun: "..."

This little girl film...

He gritted his teeth secretly, and said: "You don't know, Liang Wang is actually 20 years old, it's just that he missed three years."

Yu Ruyi snorted, "You liar! Uncle, even though you have taken the first person I have secretly promised, I still hope that you will be married forever, and you will be in harmony with each other."

Yan Xun smiled slightly, "Yes. We will."

He raised his eyes inadvertently, and saw a majestic and tall figure standing at the end of the corridor not far away.

Yan Xun's smile froze on his face.

He was taken to the backyard by Yan Jun, where the father and son used to practice martial arts.The open space is spacious, surrounded by all kinds of weapons, as well as stone locks, plum blossom stakes, etc., everything that one expects to find.

Yan Jun has not spoken.He picked two long sticks from Lan Qi and threw one to Yan Xun from a distance.As soon as Yan Xun caught it, he felt a strong wind blowing towards his face.

He dodged the first blow reflexively, but then stopped moving.When the long stick in his hand fell to the ground with a slap, Yan Jun also received a stick on his back.

Yan Jun didn't seem to have considered that this was his son, and he was merciless when he hit him with a stick. Yan Xun's body swayed, but he still stood firmly.

The pain on his back didn't have time to spread, Yan Jun hit him with two sticks again, Yan Xun closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and endured it, neither hiding nor begging for mercy.

Seeing this scene, several servants around quickly avoided, not daring to touch Yan Jun's bad luck.For a while, the backyard was surprisingly quiet, only the sound of Yan Jun hitting Yan Xun's body, and the heavy breathing of the two of them.

The last few sticks hit Yan Xun's legs, and Yan Xun was beaten to the knees, his body numb with pain.

Yan Jun was still puzzled, and picked up a mace after breaking the stick.

This can kill people with two hits, but Yan Xun actually thinks that Yan Jun can do it.He had no doubts.

Fortunately, Yan Jun didn't strike immediately, he pointed his mace at Yan Xun, his voice trembling with anger, "Either I will beat you to death today, or you go and cut off contact with King Liang, and I will arrange a marriage for you! "

Yan Xun said indifferently: "Don't bother father, I can wipe my neck myself."

Severe pain came from his back, Yan Xun felt a blockage in his chest, a sweet smell rose from his throat, and the mace struck him so fiercely that he lay prone on the ground and vomited a mouthful of blood.

Yan Xun's ears kept ringing, and his mind felt dizzy.

"Breakdown?!" Yan Jun shouted angrily.

Yan Xun gasped for a moment, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand.

"Continuously." He said, "You can kill me. Anyway, you still have a son, and you can have another son in the future."

Yan Jun didn't speak or move, I don't know how long he was silent, Yan Xun didn't have the strength to calculate.The time seemed to be very long, and it seemed to be only a moment, Yan Jun raised the mace again.

"Stop! Stop!" Princess Chunyi rushed over like crazy.

She rushed to Yan Xun's side and hugged him, tears burst out all at once, crying so much that she couldn't bear to live.The blood was sharper than a mace, and it hurt her heart like gouging out.

"Cheng Rui, Cheng Rui, how are you doing?" Yan Fu also followed and asked anxiously, "Can you move?"

Yan Xun leaned against his mother for a while, and stood up with Yan Fu's support.Thanks to his good health, if it were someone else, he might not be able to wake up.

Seeing that he could still stand up, Yan Fu felt relieved, turned her head and shouted to the boy: "Hurry up and get the doctor! You two come here and help the general into the room!"

Seeing Yan Xun walking slowly into her room with the support of the two servants, Yan Fu hurriedly comforted Princess Chunyi, "Mother, Cheng Rui is strong, he will be fine after a few days of recuperation, don't worry too much." Don't worry, stop crying."

Princess Chunyi watched her son's figure disappear from sight, and only felt that half of her life was gone with her.She was surrounded by a strong sense of powerlessness, and what followed was deep despair.

She wiped away the tears on her face, turned around, stared at Yan Jun firmly, and said word by word: "I want to make peace with you."

The mace in Yan Jun's hand fell to the ground with a clatter.

The doctor inspected Yan Xun's injury, prescribed some medicines for him, and said: "General, you should rest more and don't work too hard. You are in good health, but if you are not careful, you will definitely suffer from the root cause of the disease. But it will be troublesome."

Yan Fu paced back and forth angrily, and said angrily from the side: "Mr. Trouble, tell my father later that my brother was beaten very badly by him, almost to death!"

"This..." The doctor was stunned.

Yan Fu continued: "Sir, look, how can a father beat his son like this?! That's a mace! If this is a different person, can he still get a doctor? You just tell him that, so as not to worry about it." He still feels like he's underhanded!"

After the doctor left, Yan Xun couldn't help laughing, "Sister, I'm really fine."

"Stop talking! Lie down and don't move. Shall I send someone to tell King Liang?"

Yan Xun immediately shook his head, "Don't let him know about it. Did parents quarrel?"

Asked about this, Yan Fu was stunned for a moment, sat down beside Yan Xun's bed, and said in a low voice: "Mother said that she wants to reconcile with father, and she wants to go back to Weiyan with me, and she also wants to take Rong Ling away."

Yan Xun's breathing was stagnant, and he was speechless for a long time.

"They're talking about this right now, and they don't want me to listen." Yan Fu sighed, "I'd be happy if I could stay with my mother every day, but if they really get back together...Cheng Rui, can you persuade me?" Mother? This matter is not without room for negotiation. In the final analysis, it is still a matter between you and King Liang. If father can agree, they don't have to make peace."

"I will definitely persuade her, but I will not compromise with my father. He has taken away too much from me over the years, and I have had enough." Yan Xun smiled wearily. Will reciprocate, but my life is mine."

Yan Fu turned her face away, and quietly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Yan Xun stared at the beams and columns of the roof for a long time, then suddenly said, "Sister, can you do me a favor?"

Yan Fu took the key and opened a warehouse that had been neglected for many years.It was covered with dust, and it seemed to have painted the whole warehouse gray.Yan Fu lifted her skirt and stepped in slowly, for fear of stirring up dust and smoke on the ground.

Covering her mouth and nose, she ordered, "Move all these things out and tidy up this warehouse."

There were several large boxes piled up in the warehouse, and the servants quickly lifted them out, laid them out one by one, and listed them under the eaves.

They cleaned the surface of the box, and then carried it to Yan Xun's house according to Yan Fu's instructions.

Yan Xun leaned against the head of the bed, watching them open the box and take out the contents.

Inside the first box are more than a dozen Danqing paintings, including splashed ink landscapes, fine brushwork figures, and some flowers, birds, fish and insects.

Sadly, none of them are complete.Some were torn into several pieces, glued together roughly, and some still had traces of being burned.

Yan Fu was surprised: "Didn't you draw these before? I thought my father had already destroyed them."

After many years, when Yan Xun reunited with these childhood ideals, he could no longer arouse too much resentment and resentment.He just quietly looked at them one by one, and then waved his hand, asking his servants to put them away and lock them back into those boxes.

"When he lit the fire, I only grabbed these dozen or so pictures." Yan Xun said briefly.

Yan Fu was stunned for a long time, then turned her head to look at Yan Xun, then at those boxes, she felt like there was a small walnut in her heart, someone tapped it lightly with a small hammer, and then it burst open with a "click". A gap.

Several other boxes are filled with some paper and pen paints for painting.Yan Fu knelt down, took them out one by one, and displayed them on Yan Xun's desk.

"What do you want to draw?" she asked with a smile.
