Brother, did you confess today?

It's not that General Qi doesn't want to believe Zhu Xuguang, but in his opinion, Zhu Xuguang has grown up with Han Deyu for more than ten years.

Even if Xu Xiangfei looked like a decent person, he couldn't teach Zhu Xuguang to march and fight. The two of them were already from the Jianghu, regardless of their backgrounds.

Isn't it funny to let them participate in the war?

General Qi paused, but still tried to persuade him: "I will help you deal with your father's matter later. If you want to join the army, I can also give you a position. But from my point of view, since Mrs. Chang sent you Leaving, I just don't want you to be trapped by hatred..."

Zhu Xuguang said: "I understand, to be honest, I have no intention of joining the army, and I don't want to inherit my father's position. It's just that my father's old army has ruined his future and lost his home because of what happened back then. I hope to use my identity to serve them in the general Here's the bottom line. After the matter is over, they can return to the Ministry of War and be rewarded for their merits."

Xu Xiangfei also stepped forward and said: "General Qi, if you think about it, you should also know that kings with different surnames will rule out dissidents and will definitely go to war in the future. His place is not the general's place."

General Qi was puzzled at first: "Of course I can't surrender to that dog thief! When I guard the border town, I will naturally have the opportunity to ask the emperor to vindicate the Chang family. You guys, even if you are in the army, you still follow my orders."

Xu Xiangfei just smiled and said nothing.

General Qi slowly came to his senses: "What do you mean?"

He suddenly remembered that Zhu Xuguang's father was a general, but his mother was a princess!

Zhu Xuguang also has royal blood!

Today's Holy Majesty's heirs are not well-connected, and there is only one princess at present, so it's impossible...

His complexion changed greatly: "It must not be done!"

Zhu Xuguang shook his head: "I didn't mean that, it's just that some things happened recently, which made my brother and I feel that there is someone behind us."

General Qi is not a fool, so he naturally understands their plan.

Zhu Xuguang's biological father was condemned by the new emperor. It is impossible for those old ministries to have no idea at all. The king with a different surname has a wrong name, so he can only find someone with a good name.

"You..." General Qi's heart beat violently. Although he was also suppressed, he had never had such a bold idea.

For soldiers, loyalty to the emperor and patriotism is the right way, but now...

General Qi raised his forehead: "... How many people are there on your father's side?"

"Hey——" Xu Xiangfei saw that he let go, and pressed Zhu Xuguang, "General Qi, it's not about the number of people behind this. In terms of military strength, the two sides are actually about the same, but Beiyuan's side has never been reassuring."

"You're right." General Qi frowned, "I must guard the north."

"What if Beiyuan is in chaos?"

Xu Xiangfei stared at General Qi closely, "If I say, I have a way to make Bei Yuan mess up, would you consider it, General?"

General Qi narrowed his eyes slightly: "Is this true?"

He was most worried about Bei Yuan. If Wang with a different surname launched an offensive with Bei Yuan, under internal and external troubles, there was no guarantee of the outcome.

But if Bei Yuan can't take this opportunity to attack Nanqi, as long as there are no problems in the capital, he can surround Wang Dajun with a different surname.

Xu Xiangfei smiled: "Emperor Beiyuan is getting old, is it true that the princes below have no thoughts at all? The family has its own ideas, and the Zhou family is one of them that is unstable. Only when the bastard is in power and seeks success everywhere can he be stable for a while."

"You want to start with the Zhou family?"

Xu Xiangfei shook his head: "I just know that the son of the Zhou family is going back."

Zhou Yu'an really didn't want to see Xu Xiangfei again. He had complicated thoughts. While wanting revenge, he was also worried about his lack of strength, so he couldn't make up his mind for a long time.

But Xu Xiangfei told him before he left that not only was there great chaos in Nanqi, but also peace in Beiyuan. If he could take the opportunity to go back and seize power, he would actually have a good chance of success.

If Zhou Ji can snatch the position of the Patriarch of the Zhou family, there must be someone behind him to support him, but if Zhou Yu'an puts down his dignity and joins hands with others, there is always a chance.

General Qi raised his hand to stop their words: "...Let me think about it."

This is not a trivial matter, not to mention that they don't have any news about the other party at all, and they just rely on their judgment to determine.

Lets see.

Xu Xiangfei wasn't surprised either. They didn't intend to persuade General Qi at once when they came this time, they just planted a seed, and General Qi would only agree if they had a chance in the future.

They put the wooden box given by Han Deyu in front of General Qi, and said: "Master asked us to bring it, not to intimidate the general, but to hope that the general will seriously consider it."

Xu Xiangfei said again: "Actually, Master, I have never forgotten it for so many years. He looks unserious and crazy, but in fact he never let go."

It's just that Han Deyu didn't mention it to anyone, and even Xu Xiangfei was surprised when he heard about the past.

General Qi snorted coldly: "If he dares to let go, I will hack him to death!"

Xu Xiangfei laughed and said goodbye to Zhu Xuguang.

The originally lively room suddenly became quiet. General Qi sat at the main seat. The corners of the mahogany box in front of him were worn out, but it was very clean, as if someone had carefully hidden it for so many years, and then took it out from time to time. Wipe, from the lock to the body of the box, wipe clean, just like those past events, like yesterday.

Han Deyu actually took out this thing...

General Qi opened the wooden box, looked at the bead hairpin lying quietly inside, first snorted coldly, then his eyes dimmed, picked up the hairpin tremblingly with callused hands, and looked at it by candlelight.

Nothing changed, nothing changed...

Still the hairpin of the year.

The hairpin that was worn on his sister's head back then.

General Qi naturally hated Han Deyu, and in his hatred he also complained about himself.

Why do you think this person is reliable, why do you get acquainted with him...

If he had known this earlier, he would never have let Han Deyu step into his house!

Being alone for many years, General Qi has never tasted love, and still can't understand his sister's feelings for Han Deyu, but he also feels that Han Deyu is also a fool.

After so many years, who really let go?

……

"Brother, where are we going next?"

Zhu Xuguang did not walk beside Xu Xiangfei, but followed behind him.

The two of them didn't know what they were awkward about, and their words were not quite right recently, so it was actually very silly, Xu Xiangfei knew it, and Zhu Xuguang knew it too.

But they can't control it.

Xu Xiangfei sighed: "Oh—I'll take you to meet the person you should meet."

"My father's old department?" Zhu Xuguang frowned, "Brother, why do you become so strange when you mention this? Why?"

Of course it's because of guilt.

Xu Xiangfei came back to his senses, stretched out his hand to touch his face, and pinched it lightly again: "Okay, this is brother's fault, I thought you would blame me for hiding it from you, but I was too narrow-minded."

Zhu Xuguang looked at his expression, felt that there was no problem, so he relaxed, gently pulled him into his arms, lowered his head and rubbed his face, making Xu Xiangfei laugh out loud.

"Then don't lie to me."

Xu Xiangfei couldn't guarantee this, he just said: "Then let's go back first."

go back?

Xu Xiangfei will be able to use it back, except for Liuzhou, there should be only Changning.

Zhu Xuguang felt that these words were like a thunderbolt, which woke him up suddenly, no wonder he didn't know, because he never thought that his father's people were in Changning.

Just where he lived.

"If you are not familiar with us, senior brother won't be so entangled, so it is, is it Uncle Nan?"

Uncle Nan came to Changning after them, and he lived at the foot of the mountain when he first came. He would often call them with a smile on his face to get some fish to eat.

Zhu Xuguang and Xu Xiangfei were not quiet when they were young, they often ran around, and sometimes they would go to Uncle Nan's house to play.

So he gradually became familiar with him, and Zhu Xuguang never thought about what Uncle Nan's identity was.

Looking at it now, I realized that Uncle Nan came for him.

Xu Xiangfei pursed his lips: "It's my fault. Do you still remember that when we were young, we once had a conflict. I hid at Uncle Nan's house and didn't want to go out. I happened to hear Uncle Nan talking to someone..."

Xu Xiangfei is as light as a swallow, and his lightness kung fu is perfect. It is true that no one can find him when he hides.

What's more, Uncle Nan was in the military camp before, and he had little contact with people in the Jianghu. How could he know that a ten-year-old child could hide without him noticing at all.

After Xu Xiangfei heard it, he felt embarrassed to hide, and he couldn't hide for long.

After Uncle Nan found out that he heard it, he simply showed his cards and told Xu Xiangfei that he must not let outsiders know.

"Uncle Nan came here for you. When you got lost accidentally, they didn't find you in time. But Master has a lot of friends and has contacts with many people in the court. He vaguely guessed your identity after coming and going."

After all, Zhu Xuguang missed his mother and went to the capital with Xu Xiangfei. Han Deyu is not stupid. After thinking about time and age, he probably knows who he is.

Uncle Nan followed to Changning.

For more than ten years, he has been staying in Changning, growing up with his general's children.

He never said a word, but on weekdays, he always asked Zhu Xuguang to read more military books, and always told him about things on the battlefield.

At that time, Zhu Xuguang only thought of him as a retired veteran, but he never thought about it, it turned out that it was all for him.

Zhu Xuguang felt incredible, and murmured: "Why? Uncle Nan, Uncle Nan is for my safety? But..."

He didn't come up with a result, he just said: "I'm going to find Uncle Nan."

Xu Xiangfei naturally thought so too, stretched out his hand and patted Zhu Xuguang's shoulder: "Uncle Nan misses you very much."

But there are some words that Zhu Xuguang may not like to hear.

Uncle Nan has been guarding Zhu Xuguang for more than ten years, so many people hibernate with him, and the hatred for the past is getting deeper and deeper. They want Zhu Xuguang to take over Chang Chengjun's position, and they want the Chang family to return to the top.

But these are contrary to Zhu Xuguang's ideas.

Xu Xiangfei didn't express his opinion in the past, he took Nanshu's dedication for more than ten years into his heart, and persuaded Zhu Xuguang, but he could see that his junior brother really didn't have too many ideas.

The revenge he wanted was rehabilitating, joining forces with General Qi, not only finding a home for these people, but also making his parents redressed and retiring himself, so it was the best of both worlds.

But what Uncle Nan wants is for Zhu Xuguang to become the new general, return to the battlefield, and kill his enemies with his hands.

Xu Xiangfei can't say which one is wrong, but he and Zhu Xuguang have made a love affair, so they naturally favor his junior brother.

But Uncle Nan's suffering for so many years is not fake, it is impossible to give up willingly.

Where is the best of both worlds?

Zhu Xuguang understood now, but he still couldn't believe it. Uncle Nan watched them grow up and smiled on weekdays, just like an ordinary elder.

As soon as his identity changed, it turned out that his father's people had been with him all the time.

Zhu Xuguang's feelings for Chang Chengjun are very complicated, including admiration and resentment.

Chang Chengjun is a great general with great power. The emperor respects him three points. Nursery rhymes praising him are sung all over the world. General.

When they were outside, those children said to Zhu Xuguang in a childlike voice: "Your father is the best!"

His mother often hugged him, telling him how hard it was for his father to guard the territory all year round, telling him about his father's injuries and hardships, which made the child teary and called his father even when he was sleeping.

Zhu Xuguang naturally admired him, and often thought that if his father came back, he must tell him what he thought, and told him that he would also be a general in the future.

The children at that time held beautiful fantasies, but they were shattered on a spring day.

He could understand only half of the words in the imperial decree, but those who came to search his home were very vicious, and the voice of his mother crying and begging for mercy was engraved in his heart like a nightmare.

Before that, Zhu Xuguang had never met Chang Chengjun.

Not once.

Under the prestige, it is the monarch who is vigilant, and it seems that the disaster is not so surprising.

And what he remembered was the sentence he asked his mother before he left: "What is father like?"

"Your father is upright and majestic. He will never do those things. You have to remember that you are the child of the general, but you are also the child of your mother."

"The capital city is a good place, but don't come back...as long as you can leave, forget about it."

So he changed his name and surname, and traveled thousands of miles in order to survive.

At this time, he began to hate again, because he knew that his mother did not follow him.

Why?

What he has seen is not only the praise of others, but also the miss written by his mother in the letter, and the pain embroidered in the handkerchief.

This pain will never fade away.

In Zhu Xuguang's heart, Chang Chengjun never really appeared, he was just a shadow.

"I seem to understand that although my father is uncertain to me, to Uncle Nan, he is still like a towering mountain."

The author says:

Uncle Nan and the others will have a new general, not Xiao Zhu
