Hongdi

Yu Xun looked at Meng Tingyun with red eyes, and obediently rubbed him in his arms, "Little uncle doesn't want to talk, so Xun'er won't ask."

"Hehe," Meng Tingyun suddenly smiled relieved as he patted the child's back lightly, "Hey, it's nothing, it's been so many years, it's just that it's habitually uncomfortable to mention it."

"Uncle..." Although Yu Xun didn't know what happened that year, but based on the information obtained by his subordinates and the clues obtained by Bei Yaofei, he still guessed something.

"The Cai family was originally the eyeliner of the royal family in Jianghu, specializing in dealing with some shady matters. But later, the queen mother wanted to control the imperial power, and suffered from the lack of suitable candidates in the family, so she called her sister over."

"Well, then the eldest uncle followed into the court?"

Meng Tingyun nodded, "Brother, go there first, and after he has gained a firm foothold, the entire Cai family in Danyang will join him. It's just that Dad didn't want friends in the rivers and lakes to gossip, so he directed and acted out a tragic case of extermination."

"What?" Yu Xun's eyes widened in horror, and he never thought about this situation.

Meng Tingyun smiled wryly, "Although the plan was very good, the Cai family disappeared from the rivers and lakes, but they were taken advantage of."

"Who did it?"

"A lot of people." Meng Tingyun sighed softly, and said again: "My sister has been in the palace for six years and is deeply favored by the emperor, while my elder brother is capable of writing and martial arts, and is the pillar of Dahong. In the power struggle, many people have lost At the foot of the Queen Mother, the Cai family in Danyang, which has been hiding in the dark, was dug out by those with ulterior motives. Coincidentally, my father thought that the time had come, and the family could move there, but he didn't expect that the fake show came true, and those killers were strangers. , and the skill is excellent, everyone..." Meng Tingyun choked up, and said slowly: "I didn't understand what was going on, so I was killed..."

Yu Xun raised his hand to gently wipe away the tears that kept gushing from the corners of his little uncle's eyes, bit his lower lip tightly, and said fiercely, "Who did it?"

Meng Tingyun tightly hugged the only family member left in this world, showing a sad smile, "They are all dead..."

"Dead?" Yu Xun was even more confused.

"My sister is not so easy to be bullied, she is all dead. The bright ones are not dead, but the dark ones, including the old lady who dragged Cai's family into the water, are all dead..., except..."

"Who? I will never let him go!" A fierce and bloodthirsty murderous look suddenly flashed in Yu Xun's eyes.

Looking at the child enraged by hatred, Meng Tingyun couldn't help but think of her sister's eyes that had turned blood red, and sighed inwardly: "If the elder brother hadn't taken care of her back then, my sister would have taken revenge on those people faster."

"Xun'er is good, don't be angry, don't be angry. Listen to uncle."

Yu Xun stabilized his rage, and buried his head in Meng Tingyun's arms.

"Father and mother risked their lives to put the seriously injured me in a small boat and threw me into the Puyang River. I went east along the river, ran to Youcheng, and found my eldest brother. My sister wanted to kill me when she found out about it, but was stopped by my elder brother. There are too many enemies, and revenge must be planned. I was 12 years old at the time, and in order to prevent me from being involved in power struggles again, they quietly sent me to the Moon Kingdom."

"Then uncle met General Hua?" Yu Xun suddenly asked gossip.

Meng Tingyun smiled, "That was later. I injured my vertebrae, and I was paralyzed on the bed all my life. It was cured by Mengze's master, but I couldn't grow taller anymore."

"Oh." Yu Xun restrained his hostility, and asked weakly: "Uncle, you just said that there is one enemy left, who is it?"

Meng Tingyun frowned and said, "Your father, Hong Xiaoyin."

Yu Xun stared at him blankly, and it took him a while to recover, and said doubtfully, "I tested him, but he doesn't seem to know."

"It is true that he was not the one who killed the Cai family 15 years ago."

"That is?"

"He killed his eldest brother and sister."

Yu Xun sighed, "Well, I know."

"You don't know." Meng Tingyun looked at Yu Xun's sad expression, and continued: "Brother fell in love with Prime Minister Fan's second daughter. It was a good marriage, but some people were afraid that the power of the Cai family would expand again, so they slandered Brother, saying He was having an affair with his sister."

Yu Xun looked at Meng Tingyun, who was breathing unsteadily, in astonishment, and gently clenched those tightly clenched fists.

"Later, Hong Xiaoyin sent his eldest brother to He Jia, and secretly ordered people to exchange food and grass. The elder brother died in battle. After the sister found out the truth, she began to seize power crazily. Those who slandered the eldest brother, and those who killed the Cai family, there is no one left. , were all killed by my sister. But in the end," Meng Tingyun took a deep breath, "it fell into Hong Xiaoyin's hands."

"Father, he actually likes mother very much, and he can't help it. The emperor, who is not afraid of losing power." Yu Xun muttered in a low voice.

Meng Tingyun reached out and twisted his forearm severely.

"Ah..., uncle." Yu Xun rubbed his arm, which was probably already purple, and blinked innocently.

Meng Tingyun was puzzled and scratched Yuxun's nose again, "I knew you were protecting him!"

"That's my father, what do you want me to do?"

Yu Xun's crying words made Meng Tingyun's heart ache.Gently pulled the person into his arms, opened the sleeves, stretched out his hand to caress the purple flesh that was pinched by himself, and asked with some guilt: "Does it hurt?"

"Well, it's okay." Yu Xun reached out and hugged Meng Tingyun, and sighed helplessly, "Uncle, I don't want to kill my father and brother, I'm afraid... I don't want to be alone, such a big palace, so beautiful, but After my mother and uncle left, it was terribly cold, and it was frighteningly dark at night. I don’t want to be alone. Even if my father ignores me, even if my brothers and sisters hate me, I don’t want to. I know, there are people in the imperial city who are with me. I am not alone as a family member of the same line...so please, don't let me kill him, he is my father..."

Meng Tingyun let out a long sigh, patted the aggrieved child lightly, and said earnestly: "Forget it, it's been so many years, when will the injustice be repaid, forget it."

"Uncle..." Yu Xun sniffed, blinked his red eyes, and looked at Meng Tingyun obediently.

Meng Tingyun smiled dotingly, "By the way, what did you do to Mengze?"

"Hey, I asked him to be my supervisor."

Seeing his nephew laughing through tears, Meng Tingyun was also happy, "Ah? Supervisor? What do you mean?"

"There is a severe drought in Juxia, and it hasn't rained for three months. Although there is water from the Yangchuan River and Nuanye River for the people, the land is not dry. There is also a war, and I am afraid that this year's summer grain harvest will fail. Ask General Hua to bring the more than 3 captives to help dig the canal." Yu Xun rolled his eyes, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, little uncle, I will never treat them badly. I have already issued orders repeatedly."

Meng Tingyun blinked his eyes, and said to himself: "Well, yes, this child is not crooked in such an inhuman place like the palace." In fact, he didn't know that Yu Xun learned the ability to sneak out of the palace very early, 14 After his age, he spent half of his time in Hongbao Pavilion.

Yu Xun smiled coquettishly, "Uncle, don't you praise Xun'er?"

"Good job!" Meng Tingyun pampered Yuxun's tall and delicate nose, and said with a smile, "What reward do you want? The premise is that uncle can afford it."

"Then... Xun'er wants to sleep with uncle."

Meng Tingyun frowned speechlessly as he looked at the big boy who was half a body taller than him.

"I sleep very honestly, and I won't hurt my uncle, just for one night, okay?"

Meng Tingyun nodded helplessly.

Yu Xun grimaced happily, then dragged his shoes twice, and got into Meng Tingyun's bed.

Meng Tingyun smiled, extinguished the candles in the room with a flick of a finger, coaxed the older children around him, and soon fell asleep.

Borrowing the bright moonlight outside the window, Yu Xun slowly opened his eyes, staring at the immature face in front of him, his heart ached uncontrollably, "Uncle, I will definitely make you and General Hua happy!"

Meng Tingyun slept a little restlessly this time, not because Yu Xun beside him was dishonest, but because he accidentally fell into the horrible nightmare of his childhood again.It will be a while before dawn dawns. Meng Tingyun opened his eyes and looked at the frighteningly dark night outside the window, no matter how difficult it was to fall asleep.Turning her face, she saw Yu Xun was hugging his arm, and the corner of her mouth was hooked sweetly, as if she had dreamed of something beautiful.Lovingly touching the eyebrows and eyes that are very similar to himself, the dark room called home that was locked at the bottom of the memory by him, suddenly - brightly lit.

"Squeak-"

The door was gently pushed open, and a tall figure walked quickly to the bed, but was startled by Meng Tingyun's wide open eyes.

"Xiao Fei? What's wrong?"

Bei Yaofei shook his head lightly, "It's nothing, is Yu Xun awake?"

"No. What's the matter?"

Bei Yaofei sighed helplessly, "Yes, it's very important."

Meng Tingyun then patted Yu Xun's sweet sleeping face, and said softly, "Xun'er, wake up, Xun'er, Xiao Fei has something to do with you, wake up."

"Uncle...noisy..." Yu Xun said something vaguely, and desperately stuck his head into Meng Tingyun's armpit.

Bei Yaofei looked at the person who was acting like a baby with Meng Tingyun with some dark lines, and coughed lightly, "Hong Yuxun, Cook Xiao is calling!"

Meng Tingyun was taken aback for a moment, then patted the person who was still in sleep again.For a while, Yu Xun rubbed his sleepy eyes, looked at the dark room, and snorted, "Uncle, it's not yet dawn, what are you calling me for?"

"Wake up, Xiao Fei is here to find you."

Meng Tingyun's gentle voice was like a song that lulls people to sleep, Yu Xun closed his eyes in peace of mind, and fell asleep again.

Bei Yaofei was a little anxious, grabbed the person on the bed, and shouted: "Hong Weixiao is here to attack Baishui! Why don't you go and respond?"

Yu Xun reluctantly opened his eyes, looked out the window, and said, "What time is it?"

"Fifth watch."

Yu Xun was startled, wiped his face immediately, and said anxiously: "It's five o'clock and my brother hasn't taken the white water yet?!"

Yu Xun secretly agreed with Cook Xiao to attack the city in the middle of the night.It stands to reason that all conceivable preparations have been arranged for internal and external cooperation, and why it is five o'clock, and he needs to go to meet him in person.

Seeing that the man was awake, Bei Yaofei calmly said, "The city has been taken down."

"Then why did you call me? I haven't woken up yet." Yu Xun glared at him angrily, and fell back to sleep.

"Hong Yuxun!"

Seeing that Bei Yaofei was about to get angry, Yu Xun had no choice but to pouted and said in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

"I caught someone and I want you to see it."

Yu Xun tried his best to close his eyes, and said, "Who? Ming Yi? Just follow the original plan."

"It's not Ming Yi, it's..." Bei Yaofei looked at Meng Tingyun at the side, without explaining.

Yu Xun was extremely tired these two days. During the day, he disguised himself as a clerk in Zeshengtang to argue with Ming Yi, and at night he was busy arranging the siege.After finally everything was in order and he was able to sleep soundly, Bei Yaofei came to him again.

Frowning in displeasure, Yu Xun directly ignored Bei Yaofei's expressive gaze, and said angrily, "Who? Uncle is not an outsider, tell me quickly, I want to sleep."

Bei Yaofei heaved a sigh of relief, picked up Yuxun's red gown on the hanger, quickly wrapped him up, and hugged him in his arms.

"Uncle Meng, continue to sleep." After Bei Yaofei finished speaking, he turned around and hugged Yu Xun who was still sleeping in his arms, and walked away.

Meng Tingyun smiled, but he was worried: "Catch someone who can't let me know? It's the enemy, but it's not Mingyi. Could it be Mengze?"
