Yun Cang slowly sat down into the hot spring for the first time, like a crocodile in Luoxing Marsh slipping into the swamp.

Inadvertently gliding his gaze over Feng Zhangjun's thick and strong chest muscles a few times, Lian Zhu Xian finally managed to control his gaze.

He said softly, "You have a lot of injuries."

Sure enough, Feng Zhangjun didn't mean to be completely frank, but asked in a low voice: "Is it strange?"

"It's not strange, but it's also not ordinary." Lian Zhuxian continued to probe: "I guess there must be some special stories behind them."

Feng Zhangjun stared at him: "You want to know?"

"If possible." Lian Zhu Xian nodded.

He originally thought that Feng Zhangjun would more or less mention something about his past next.Unexpectedly, the man slowly leaned against the rock and shook his head: "Forget it, let's talk about something else."

"..."

Although he felt a little disappointed that he was still not trusted, Lian Zhu Xian still nodded: "Okay, I'm listening."

Sighing before saying anything, Feng Zhangjun leaned on the rock by the pool, and looked into the distance.

"Bi Rong's mother is also my own sister, who is three years younger than me. When I was a child, people in the palace often said that our brothers and sisters look alike. My younger sister always likes to cling to me, and we have a very good relationship. "

Somehow, Ye Zhen Zhen's little face automatically came into Lian Zhu Xian's mind.

Feng Zhangjun and his sister have a good relationship, no wonder Feng Zhangjun wanted to protect them so actively when he saw those little girls just now.

Just listen to Feng Zhang Jun said: "The year I met you, the Great Yan dynasty was in turmoil. The father and emperor were subjected to witchcraft, and the mother concubine and the second brother were framed by traitors and thrown into the cold palace. The younger sister was lost with the guards on the way to escape, and her whereabouts have been unknown since then. It was not until ten years later that I returned to the court and entrusted the Fazong to search for it, and then I found the younger sister from the countryside. But at this time, she... was pregnant in the body."

"...!" Lian Zhuxian gasped silently.

He immediately calculated silently in his heart - Feng Zhangjun was seven years old, and his sister was only four years old.I haven't seen each other for ten years, and when we meet again, my younger sister should be thirteen or fourteen years old, and she hasn't reached the age of Ji.

I only heard that Feng Zhangjun sighed: "Afterwards, I found out that after the little girl was exiled among the people, she was sold and sold into the mountains, and was pretended to be the daughter-in-law by a landlord. The family made her a slave and a handmaid, and treated her harshly day and night. When the Zongzhi people came to her, she was so thin that she was almost skinny, but her belly was astonishingly big... she was like a hungry ghost in a mass grave."

Even the daughters of ordinary families are still able to enjoy the joys and be regarded as the jewels in the palm of their hands; but now, the majestic imperial family's jade leaves, golden branches, phoenix sons and dragon grandchildren, have entered the swamp, the mouth of tigers and wolves, and have been devastated beyond human form. How not to make people sad? !

Even Lian Zhuxian, a bystander, couldn't help but feel his blood surging.

However, Feng Zhangjun's voice was calm.It was this calmness that brought out the bitterness of the past even more.

"...When Fazong came to welcome the little sister, although the family didn't know the identity of the little sister, it can be seen that Fazong brought a soft sedan chair, and wanted to make friends with her, and pretend to be the little sister-in-law's family."

Speaking of this, Feng Zhangjun paused for a moment, and a trace of cruelty suddenly appeared on his normally calm face.

"I ordered people to kill all the adults in that family, as well as the traffickers who sold the younger sisters. Then I razed the capital city, and hung those heads all over the city gate."

"..." Lian Zhu Xian silently gasped.

It is obviously impossible to say that there is no surprise at all - after all these days, the Feng Zhangjun who accompanied Lian Zhuxian has always been calm and steady, and he has never shown such intense negative emotions.

However, if he put himself in his shoes and thought about it, if the same experience happened to him, it would be hard for Lian Zhuxian to say that he would not use the same or even more cruel methods to deal with the villain who took away his relatives.

Just like those traffickers who abducted them to Nanzhao back then, their bones are still piled up in the backyard of the ruined temple, dry and rotten, and Lian Zhuxian never felt the slightest pity for them.

At this moment, if Lian Zhu Xian couldn't bear it, it was just that he couldn't bear to see Feng Zhangjun's hands stained with blood due to other people's crimes.

Thinking of this, he wanted to say something to comfort him, but he found that the gloom on Feng Zhangjun's face had disappeared, and turned into another obvious helplessness.

"But it's all meaningless."

He sighed deeply: "Because she was too thin, and it was too late to take care of her, the little sister died of dystocia, leaving only one baby girl, which was Bi Rong. Although my father feels guilty for my brother and sister , but in his opinion, what happened to the little sister was a scandal after all... He adopted the baby girl to be raised by the eldest princess, but I disagree."

Having said that, Feng Zhangjun raised his head to look at Lian Zhuxian again, his eyes dimmed.

"My little sister was buried hastily on a rainy night after ten years of suffering. She didn't wait for Zongzheng Temple to restore her identity and name until she died. And her only daughter wanted to marry someone else, And maybe I will never know the suffering my biological mother has gone through in my whole life... How cruel and unfair this is!"

"Not only will the victim not get comfort and compensation, but they will lose everything because of the suffering they endured. What's the point?!" Lian Zhu Xian could fully understand Feng Zhangjun's feelings, and even felt a burst of admiration for it.

When the whole world chooses to forget intentionally or unintentionally, it is a lonely and noble thing to guard a painful memory alone.

But he immediately realized that things seemed to be somewhat different from the status quo.

"But Princess Birong knows that you are his uncle." He asked, "How did she know?"

"I told her myself."

A wry smile appeared on Feng Zhangjun's face: "When Birong was four years old, I disregarded everyone's objections and insisted on revealing her life experience. Birong burst into tears at that time. , Said that he did not believe that he was not the eldest princess's own flesh and blood."

Having said that, he looked at Lian Zhu Xian: "Do you think I did the right thing?"

"..." Lian Zhu Xian was stunned, and said honestly, "It's hard to say. Maybe it's right for my younger sister. But for Bi Rong, it may not be the best choice."

Right after he finished speaking, he was a little worried, wondering if the answer would be too blunt and direct.But Feng Zhangjun nodded,

"I told Bi Rong with a mentality of revenge. I want to remind her and those who tried to obliterate the existence of the little girl. I want them to always remember everything that happened in the Palace of Wanchun!"

For some reason, Feng Zhangjun who said these words reminded Lian Zhuxian of that awkward Li Tianquan.

As a member of the royal family, maybe the young Feng Zhangjun was also a cynical and surly person who was not understood by others.

If at that time, I can be by his side, enlighten and relieve, I don't know if everything will be different.

Lian Zhu Xian couldn't help feeling a little emotional, but he didn't dare to distract too much, and still stared at Feng Zhangjun intently.

After a short period of unhappiness, Feng Zhangjun calmed down again.

"...At that time, I thought that I might hate Bi Rong. Because her biological father, and even more because of her birth, took away my close relatives. But even though I exposed her background, Bi Rong was still close to me. When she was a child, she would cry when she saw everyone, but she liked to smile at me. When she grew up a little, she always liked to run to my place.

"I asked her why she kept pestering me. But she replied solemnly: 'Because in the whole palace, only my uncle is always alone'. And she is the only one who is related to me in the palace except my father. The person closest to me can't leave me alone."

"...Innocent and cute." Lian Zhu Xian imagined the expression of the little girl when she said these words, and couldn't help feeling warm in his heart.But he also understands that the more innocent and kind Bi Rong is, the more Feng Zhangjun will feel guilty and remorseful.

Sure enough, Feng Zhangjun let out a long sigh: "Until then, I suddenly realized that although I was indeed taken away by Bi Rong, why didn't I take away her close relatives? Although a group of people are far from worthy hers, but the other group is what she should have had."

Speaking of this, he suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly: "...No, the other group is not good enough for her. Even me, they are all bastards."

Thinking of Bi Rong's current situation, Lian Zhu Xian could well understand that Feng Zhangjun's self-deprecation was a painful self-blame.

However, from Fengzhangjun’s standpoint at that time, how could a person in his early 20s, who was troubled by loneliness and the past, have enough wisdom and courage to take responsibility for another person’s life?

Just as I was practicing Zhuxian with mixed flavors, I heard Feng Zhangjun say again: "In short, it was from then on that I realized that the person who was really out of tune with the court was actually me. If I didn't exist in the first place , maybe Birong will be truly regarded as her own by the eldest princess, and maybe all the tragedies after that will also cease to exist."

He finished these many words in one breath, then calmed down again, and turned back to the man who had no waves in the ancient well.

But Lian Zhu Xian was still moved by his frankness.

Although as early as in Xixianyuan, Feng Zhangjun had already briefly described Bi Rong's experience, but now the conversation is obviously more direct to the heart, and it can even be regarded as a candid meeting in a certain sense.

And this frankness obviously must be responded with sincerity.

Lian Zhu Xian suddenly felt dry mouth.

He looked at the man in front of him who was shirtless and exposed many scars, as if he saw a beast with its sharp claws, quietly waiting for his comfort.

"I sympathize with Princess Birong's background and experience, but I absolutely don't think it's your responsibility."

He straightforwardly expressed his own feelings: "Without you, my little sister would still stay in the landlord's house and be bullied, would still die in childbirth, and would still not be able to leave a name. And it is even more impossible for Birong to be named princess and raise her." In the royal family. As for her relationship with Yu Zhengong... Let me tell you as a Nanzhao person, Da Yan discriminated against our foreign races. , Yu Zhengong might just die earlier—would these things really be better without you?"

Feng Zhangjun's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something.But practicing Zhu Xian did not give him the opportunity to continue belittling himself.

He looked directly into Feng Zhangjun's eyes, as if he wanted to take out his sincerity and put it in front of Feng Zhangjun.

"But even if it's not your fault, I can still understand your self-blame. Because you are the former prince, the current chief, and the much-anticipated Lord Fengzhang. You think you should be safe and considerate of all aspects. You can't let anyone down. People...but you forgot that you are first of all just a body of flesh and blood, an ordinary person."

"..."

Feng Zhangjun was stunned by this last sentence, and his gaze towards Lian Zhuxian became slightly warm.

Lian Zhuxian returned him with a beautiful and soft smile.

"Actually, I once thought about what it would be like if one of us didn't stay in the Valley of the Five Immortals and the other went back to Liuquan City, but grew up together and became brothers. If we hadn't separated, at least you wouldn't Will be so lonely. If something goes wrong, someone will take care of you, if you are in a bad mood, someone will help you out, and you don’t need to carry everything on your shoulders..."

Speaking of this, Lian Zhuxian suddenly watched Feng Zhangjun slowly lean over.

The wet long hair that was piled behind his head fell down and fell on his body that was light cherry pink due to the heat of the hot spring.

But what was even redder was his handsome and beautiful face, as if he was drunk, and even those green eyes sparkled.

Feng Zhangjun was already somewhat surprised in his heart, but he still remained calm, looking at such a stunning look in front of him.

Then, he heard Lian Zhu Xian blushing, whispering in his ear——

"But I hope that from now on you...will not be alone."

"you--"

Such a confession, even if Mr. Fengzhang is a stone Buddha alive, it is difficult to be indifferent.

But just when he was about to stretch out his hand to embrace this stunning beauty that belonged to him.But Lian Zhu Xian's eyes were distracted, his lips were slightly parted, and suddenly there was a nosebleed, and then he rolled his eyes and plunged into the hot water.

Dongxianyuan, this damn hot spring...

The author has something to say: Lian Zhu Xian (silently wiping nosebleed): I am not dizzy because of my big pectoral muscles! !

Feng Zhangjun: Quickly get the water pump, I'm going to drain this damn pool of hot water! ! !
