Brother, did you confess today?

"Brother, did you already know?"

Now that Zhu Xuguang thinks about it, he can probably understand why Xu Xiangfei let him go by himself.

"Well... among other things, you and Uncle Nan are quite similar in this respect." Xu Xiangfei thought it was a little funny, "Don't be angry, of course, a few words can't impress Uncle Nan, and you don't Uncle Nan is also unwilling to give up the idea he has insisted on for so many years. Fortunately, this time, the two of you have taught each other a lot of insight."

There was still a smile in his words, and he spoke slowly, slowly soothing Zhu Xuguang's restlessness, and the two walked side by side without knowing it, and the shadow of the thatched cottage could already be seen in front of them, they were not in a hurry, did they have a match? Chat together.

They haven't come back for so many days, and there are a lot of messes in the house. If it was normal, they might not come to live in the mountains, but it's not convenient for Uncle Nan. It's better to separate him from Zhu Xuguang.

"Uncle Nan wants me to go with him to meet the people on my father's side. Speaking of which, I really haven't seen them."

not a single one.

Zhu Xuguang is always a little confused, not sure whether Uncle Nan wants him to lead the army or not, and what he does is always contradictory.

Xu Xiangfei took it very openly: "You still talk about others, don't you do things like this? When you were arguing with me before, I didn't see any concessions from you."

Zhu Xuguang held Xu Xiangfei's hand tightly: "The senior brother is obviously wrong, it's fine to reject me again and again, and he won't give me a letter of approval."

Xu Xiangfei didn't bother to talk to him.

When they arrived at the thatched hut, the stone table outside was already covered with a layer of dust. They all walked around thinking it was dirty, pushed open the door, looked at each other, and then went to clean it with a sigh.

The light was turned on in the room, and the dust rose up as soon as the broom passed by. Zhu Xuguang frowned and cleaned up casually with Xu Xiangfei, then left Xu Xiangfei to make the bed.

Zhu Xuguang walked around the hut to get water from the back. After all, it was a hot day, it was more comfortable to wash and sleep.

When everything was tidied up, there was no sound outside the house. It seemed that even the insects and birds were tired. An Anxin waited for tomorrow to continue singing.

The thatched cottage originally had two rooms, one belonged to Han Deyu, and the other belonged to Xu Xiangfei. When they were not too old, they naturally slept together. Later, a bed was added to separate them.

Now, of course, they were lying on the same bed, running around for many days, and both of them had no energy. Zhu Xuguang turned over and wanted to hug Xu Xiangfei, but was rejected by the other party several times, but he was very persistent, and Xu Xiangfei came down several times. Already fast asleep.

Probably because of being so angry by Uncle Nan, Zhu Xuguang was restless in his dream, and actually dreamed that he and Uncle Nan were actually on the battlefield.

It's just that Uncle Nan in the dream looked older, and he didn't have the spirit to face him, but just followed Zhu Xuguang with a straight face.

And behind the two of them, there was a huge army. Zhu Xuguang wanted to see it, but he couldn't see clearly. He seemed to hear someone say in his ear: "I suddenly... regret it a little."

regret what?

Zhu Xuguang didn't quite understand, he only heard himself looking at the yellow sand in the distance in his dream: "It's not your fault, this is my own choice."

It was only then that Zhu Xuguang realized that not only Uncle Nan, but also himself had experienced many vicissitudes in this dream. He looked elsewhere, but saw that the one he was holding was not the Chihe Sword.

It's my brother's sword.

Before he could think about why, the dream was shattered, and Zhu Xuguang woke up suddenly, and even woke up Xu Xiangfei when he sat up from the bed.

He lowered his head and looked at Xu Xiangfei.

"……What's wrong?"

Xu Xiangfei raised his hand to touch Zhu Xuguang's forehead, although he was still dazed, he immediately laughed, "Have you had a nightmare?"

He was about to laugh, Zhu Xuguang hadn't had a nightmare in a long time, but found that the other party looked at him deeply, leaning over and wanting to kiss.

Xu Xiangfei turned pale with shock: "What are you doing?"

I don't know why I went crazy early in the morning.

Zhu Xuguang was silent for a while: "I'll fetch water for senior brother."

After fetching water, kiss again.

He needs his brother to comfort him now.

After going out, Zhu Xuguang accidentally put his hand on his heart, only to realize that his heart was beating violently, so he was puzzled, thinking that it was the problem of the dream, but he couldn't figure out what this strange dream represented.

Zhu Xuguang couldn't figure it out, and when he came back and tidied himself up with Xu Xiangfei, he lowered his head and gently touched his senior brother's lips.

Xu Xiangfei, who was prepared to wait for his junior to kiss him again in a mess: "?"

Now he felt that there was something wrong, so he touched Zhu Xuguang's face worriedly: "Do you still remember that dream?"

"I don't know... Maybe it is." Zhu Xuguang said simply, "I just don't quite understand. I just talked about this with Uncle Nan yesterday. Why did I dream about it at night? It doesn't look like a good dream."

"And..." Zhu Xuguang looked directly into Xu Xiangfei's eyes, "Why do I have brother's sword in my hand?"

It was during the time when Xu Xiangfei was injured that Zhu Xuguang would take his sword, and he would wipe it for him on weekdays.

Xu Xiangfei raised his eyebrows, his eyes were in a daze, and he was immediately caught by Zhu Xuguang who had been staring at him. He seemed even more incomprehensible: "...Brother, why do you seem to know?"

Brother, why do you know everything?

Actually, Xu Xiangfei didn't really understand what Zhu Xuguang dreamed about, but Yue Manxing explained to him, knowing that in Yue Manxing's last life, Zhu Xuguang has been holding the swords of the two of them since then.

Xu Xiangfei couldn't think of any other possibility.

He didn't tell Zhu Xuguang all about Yue Manxing, because it would be a kind of harm to Yue Manxing after all, and if there really was such a life, the ending of the two of them would be really not good. He had thought about it before, but now he naturally felt that it would be better not to tell him for the time being.

Xu Xiangfei touched his nose, and Zhu Xuguang grabbed his hand and bit him.

"..." Xu Xiangfei patted him away, "Is it dirty?"

After teaching the other party, Xu Xiangfei said: "Don't think too much, maybe I went with you? Besides, dreams are things in dreams. You and Uncle Nan still have time to grind!"

"Does that brother think I should go?"

Xu Xiangfei was also quite hesitant: "To be honest, I don't know what's going on in the capital now. I don't dare to trust you. It won't hurt you to go. But most of the people who want to come to Nanshu's side are your elders. I'm afraid you won't be able to say it."

Zhu Xuguang also felt that this was a little troublesome, he couldn't even talk about an Uncle Nan, let alone other people.

None of them mentioned that Xu Xiangfei went with him. Xu Xiangfei didn't plan to go, and it was impossible for Uncle Nan to let him follow.

Zhu Xuguang knew that Xu Xiangfei actually didn't like dealing with these things, and he didn't want the other party to worry about him all the time.

Xu Xiangfei thought for a while: "After two days you decide, I'll try to send a letter to Master. If I have this opportunity, I think Uncle Lin will be with you too. With the two of them here, it's not that difficult for you."

The people on Zhu Xuguang's mother's side don't have to worry. When he was sent away back then, the Princess' intention was to let her son live an ordinary life, leaving only someone to protect him. In the future, no matter whether he was doing business or wandering in the rivers and lakes, he was not allowed to return to the capital. .

There was no food in the thatched hut, so the two chatted for a while, and while the sun was still setting down, they wandered around Changning, and Sun He saw them again, and dragged them home to cook for dinner.

"Why are you two being polite to me? I haven't seen you for a long time, so at least you should tell me about the outside world."

Sun He already had a child, a little girl who was only three years old, and was being played with shuttlecock by the old lady at home, with her two pigtails flickering, she was really cute.

She didn't have much impression of Xu Xiangfei and Zhu Xuguang, but she was not afraid of strangers, she lay on the old woman's lap curiously, staring at them with big eyes.

Sun He called mother, then waved: "Alian, call uncle."

There is no one in her natal family, and when she got married, it was agreed that Xu Xiangfei and Zhu Xuguang would be her natal brothers, and the children would call them cousins.

A-Lian yelled at someone crisply, circling on the ground with her toes, and felt embarrassed when she wanted to go over to look, Li Po smiled and patted her head: "Are you back? Come to eat?"

Sun He's husband was outside, and they were the only ones left at home. Granny Li was very happy when someone came, and wanted to touch Xu Xiangfei's sword curiously.

Xu Xiangfei untied it and asked the old man to touch the hilt. He said it was dangerous in other places, but Li Po laid out the book and said no.

A-Lian really wanted to touch it, but in the end she just touched Jiansui carefully.

Xu Xiangfei took out candy from his pocket and gave it to her. The little girl looked at Granny Li and accepted it when she nodded. She happily continued kicking the shuttlecock.

Sun He went to the side to cook, Xu Xiangfei asked Zhu Xuguang to help light the fire, and kept it for the children to play with. He can tell stories, remove those dangerous ones, and make up a story about how Li Xinglu came up with ideas to make hairpins and how he fought wits with other people , It can make one big and one small listen extremely fascinated.

A-Lian also muttered: "In the future, I will also be a hairpin! Sell money to buy a big house!"

Li Po smiled and nodded: "Okay, okay, we, Alian, will go out to meet the world in the future."

After finishing the meal, A-Lian was even reluctant to leave the two cheap uncles, and asked sobbingly when they would come next time.

"Next time..." Xu Xiangfei smiled and lowered his head to touch Alian's soft black hair, "Next time I come to Alian, I won't remember my cousin."

"Remember, remember!"

"Then next time I come, what should I bring A-Lian?"

A-Lian thought for a long time, but couldn't figure it out, and then rolled her eyes: "Bring candy to A-Lian!"

That candy is delicious, it's not the kind that Aniang usually buys for her!

Xu Xiangfei smiled and agreed, and also promised Zhu Xuguang to show them the sword dance next time.

Zhu Xuguang: "..."

Let's go with the senior brother.

Not a while after they left the door, Zhu Xuguang suddenly said: "Brother, I might go with Uncle Nan to have a look."

Xu Xiangfei was not surprised: "Have you thought about it?"

"Think it over." Zhu Xuguang gently held his hand, "Don't worry, brother, I will not change my mind, and I should let Uncle Nan and the others see that I am not suitable for this job. Maybe...they are better candidate."

"That's fine. I'm also worried about Man Xing and the others. He always says in his letters that he's fine, but I don't think so. You follow Uncle Nan, and I'll follow this road north to find Man Xing."

"Going north?" Zhu Xuguang came to his senses, "What if going north meets Zhou Ji's people?"

"Because I was tricked once before, can I still be tricked a second time?" Xu Xiangfei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Okay, it's settled like this, if you have nothing to do in the future, you can come to Dayan to find me, if you need to leave later, we will go directly Go to Xincheng to find General Qi."

Speaking with emotion, the two of them rarely separated. In the eyes of others, Zhu Xuguang almost became the tassel on Xu Xiangfei's sword, the kind who would never leave him no matter what.

The sudden separation now will definitely startle others.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiangfei is still a little eager to try.

I'm going to find my brothers
