Brother, did you confess today?

It was already dark, and Uncle Nan hadn't raised any chickens or ducks in recent years, so the whole yard was much deserted at night, and dogs could occasionally bark in the distance.

Uncle Nan calmed down and sat back slowly: "Where did you get this news...?"

He didn't think that Zhu Xuguang would take the initiative to inquire about these things, besides the life and death of the little prince, the court was just guessing, no one dared to really look for someone.

But he still couldn't figure it out. Years of loneliness had already made him trapped by hatred. Even if he watched Zhu Xuguang and Xu Xiangfei grow up lively, even if Changning was unbelievably peaceful, the bloody past was still engraved on him. heart.

He hoped that Zhu Xuguang would take back everything that belonged to them for Chang Chengjun. He hoped that wherever he went back then, as soon as he was known to be General Chang's subordinate, the scene of countless people's admiration would reappear.

Even if he is old, there will always be times when he is powerless.

"Uncle Nan." Zhu Xuguang's tone softened a bit, "I know that Uncle Nan is doing it for my own good. For so many years, if I say that I haven't thought about it, it's also a lie."

Uncle Nan raised his eyebrows.

Zhu Xuguang blinked: "Uncle Nan really thinks that I don't care about anything? Not at all. At the beginning, I had some ideas."

His stubborn personality made Xu Xiangfei helpless, how could he really say that he would be comforted for his whole life?

Otherwise, he wouldn't have had to go back to the capital just because he wanted to see his mother's tombstone.

Doesn't he know the dangers and risks on the road?Don't you know that you can't walk to the capital by yourself?

But he wants to go.

The people who ransacked the house came too fast, and he couldn't react to all the things that happened later. When the dust settled, Zhu Xuguang realized in a daze that he had no home.

Whether it was the father he had never seen before, or the mother who loved him dearly, in a blink of an eye, it was like the choking smoke from the firewood piled up with the dead that he saw on the way to escape.

The thick smoke choked his eyes red, but it rose higher and higher, and then he was no longer seen.

Naturally he hated it then.

So he obviously wanted to have fun with his senior brother, but he always deliberately fought with him, because for no reason, Zhu Xuguang felt that he shouldn't live so easily.

Perhaps it should be more difficult to make the hatred last longer.

It's just that at some point later, Zhu Xuguang's thoughts gradually changed. Maybe he really stayed in Changning for too long as Uncle Nan said.

Maybe it's because I walked out of Changning and looked at the world with a more relaxed identity. The dark places are always inevitable, and the cold wind in winter is also icy cold, but tomorrow will always come, and the snow will melt in spring, and everything will recover.

Thinking back to the time before he left, he realized what it meant for his mother to let him live an ordinary and extraordinary life.

"If this is a chaotic world and people are dying everywhere, what Uncle Nan said makes some sense, but if you put aside your prejudice against the new emperor, is it really that far?" Zhu Xuguang sighed softly, "It's been 12 years, Uncle Nan How many people are there in my father's old department? Are they willing to take such a big risk and bet on such a possibility that is too vague?"

Uncle Nan just feels sorry for the Chang family and feels unfair for Chang Chengjun, but he also knows that with their abilities, there is too little they can do in this world.

"Father was loyal to the emperor and patriotic all his life, and defended the frontier. I heard from my mother that he treated his officers and soldiers extremely well, and he didn't want to see anyone sacrificed... Uncle Nan, you should know him better than I do."

Uncle Nan raised his hand suddenly: "Okay, I know what you think, it's fine if you don't want to."

I wish Xu Guang a meal.

"At your age, it's impossible to convince me. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but there are still people willing to follow you on your father's side. You will go to see them with me later."

"Uncle Nan!" Zhu Xuguang frowned fiercely, "I think I've made it clear enough."

Unexpectedly, Uncle Nan, who seemed to be loose, immediately changed his face.

"Ha, you're still too young..." Uncle Nan didn't care about the change in his attitude, "When things get louder later, recruiting soldiers and buying horses is a simple matter, and what you think now is just an idea, wait until you do it. Bar."

While talking, he was still shaking his head in his heart, Zhu Xuguang still couldn't talk, if Xu Xiangfei was following, then he would really be overwhelmed.

However, Uncle Nan also knew that Xu Xiangfei would not come. After the two people in front of him had an extra layer of relationship, he knew that these two boys whom he had seen growing up were going to be estranged from him eventually.

But he doesn't regret it.

It is impossible to make him give up his expectations for so many years, just with these few words, Uncle Nan stood up and patted Zhu Xuguang on the shoulder, completely different from the trembling look just now: "At least you have let me understand your thoughts, then The next thing to see is whether you can convince me to let us people really go to General Qi, or whether I can let you get back the surname Chang."

Mrs. Chang's idea of ​​changing Zhu Xuguang's name, of course Uncle Nan understands, and it's not wrong to hope that this child will be comforted for the rest of his life.

But he always had a bit of disdain in his heart, thinking that this kind of thinking was too useless, why couldn't he get everything back?

Whoever stands in the front, just like in the past, the iron cavalry stepped over, the thieves were terrified, and the common people came to welcome them.

Zhu Xuguang shook his hands and left. Uncle Nan didn't even let him drink tea. Anyway, Xu Xiangfei comforted him, so he didn't need to worry about it.

Zhu Xuguang indeed went directly to Xu Xiangfei. He learned that the shock of Uncle Nan's ten-year stay in Changning hadn't subsided, and his heart was already very complicated.

Uncle Nan also directly asked him to pack his things and go together as soon as possible!

He must be angry, but he couldn't tell what he was angry, and his face was even uglier.

Xu Xiangfei sat on the big rock halfway up the mountain and waited for him, put the sword aside, and held his face cross-legged, worrying that his junior brother and Uncle Nan would quarrel, while thinking about what to do next.

When he noticed that Zhu Xuguang was coming, the other party almost walked up to him.

Xu Xiangfei was almost frightened, took a closer look, hey!

It's not cool at night in the summer, but his junior brother's face is almost freezing. He walked all the way fast and hurriedly, without turning on a light, and didn't call for anyone when he walked up. Everyone could see that he was very angry. light.

Alas, it's so hard to hang up.

Xu Xiangfei was not surprised, he wanted to get this scene by letting Zhu Xuguang go by himself, how can Uncle Nan be such a persuasive person?

Think about Lin Yichun, an official of the imperial court would go out and live on the streets with Han Deyu. General Qi said that he can listen to a few words of Han Deyu.

This shows that his master is very good at persuading people, but in the end, he stumbled at Uncle Nan.

Uncle Nan is a hard bone that even their master can't chew on. The biggest concession he has made so far is to leave Zhu Xuguang in Changning, and he will stay with him.

For the rest, they kept in touch with people secretly for many years, trying to find a way to plan to send troops, just waiting for Zhu Xuguang to leave with him alone.

I haven't seen him change anything.

"...Brother."

Zhu Xuguang endured it for a long time, then felt embarrassed to say it, felt like suing him, so he only called him, and then sat on the big rock with him.

Although the stone is big, there is not much room to sit on it, and it is a bit crowded when the two of them are together.

There are still many mosquitoes in summer, so Xu Xiangfei patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, let's talk slowly when we get back."

Zhu Xuguang followed behind him obediently, staring at the somewhat weak lamp in Xu Xiangfei's hand. In the mountains and forests, there were most birds and insects chirping, as if sending them all the way back, they kept calling non-stop.

The road under his feet has been walked countless times, and there is a familiar person in front of him. Suddenly, Zhu Xuguang is not so angry. Thinking about it, he is indeed a little naive, and his speech is indeed clumsy.

It's just that I can't get angry.
