The General Is As Urgent As Law

When Xue Changfeng's cough stopped, his eyes flickered, he looked at Zhong Yi who was still working hard beside him, and then at Fu Yang.When he looked at Fu Yang, even though he was so weak, he still couldn't hide the affection in his eyes.He has loved Fu Yang for 20 years, from a glimpse of her, to her disappearance, and then to her sudden return to Xiangcheng to meet him again.

"Yang'er, Zhong Yi, you go out first..." Xue Changfeng said.

Zhong Yi acted as if he didn't hear it, and was still busy. He searched in the medicine box for a while, trying to find something that could temporarily suspend his breath, but he couldn't find anything.Judging from his many years of experience in studying medicine, he has to admit that Xue Changfeng's internal foundation is already empty, and he can still speak now, it is entirely due to his breath.

Fu Yang reached out and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let him talk to Ziqin."

Zhong Yi was taken aback, and he turned his head to look at Xue Changfeng again, unable to accept it but had to accept it, and followed Fu Yang out.

The room became empty, only Xue Ziqin was left standing beside Xue Changfeng's couch.

Knowing that the father and son had something to say, Fu Yang closed the door for them intimately.

Min Qiu is just a lieutenant general, it is always inappropriate to go in at this time, seeing Zhong Yi and Fu Yang coming out, he hurriedly asked: "How is the general?"

Zhong Yi didn't speak, neither did Fu Yang, the two stood on the porch in front of the door, each looking at the sky.

Min Qiu almost understood, and it was inconvenient to say more, so he leaned against the thin door panel, feeling complicated.

"Qin'er, the Xue family will rely on you from now on." Xue Changfeng said, "I have no children in my life, only you are the adopted son."

"Father..."

"Listen to me." Xue Changfeng's face suddenly turned rosy, but Xue Ziqin knew very well that this might be the so-called backlight.

Looking down at Xue Changfeng, he had thousands of words in his heart, but he didn't know where to start.

"I know that you never regarded me as a father. When I picked you up in the suburbs, I knew that your life was not worth dying and that you could become a great weapon...Later, it proved that I was not mistaken."

"I……"

"Should I repay the grace of saving my life?"

"when."

"Then I just want you to promise me one thing." Xue Changfeng said, suddenly raised his hand, and grabbed Xue Ziqin's forearm.He exerted great force, wanting to put his fingers into his flesh, "You must, let Jin'er's child sit on the throne..."

"..." Xue Ziqin knew that he was referring to the third prince. Hearing these words, he felt like a sinner harboring evil intentions, as if someone had seen through him. His pupils shrank slightly, and he was unable to say a word.

"promise me!"

"……it is good."

Hearing Xue Ziqin's answer, Xue Changfeng let go of his hand suddenly, as if he breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "I don't know how to be a father at all, so I don't know how to teach you. I only know how to put you in the barracks and let you be like me. It is my duty to protect the country... Cough cough, you are very good, you have not let me down."

"I know it wasn't your fault that you killed the commander of the infantry battalion that year."

"do not talk……"

"I know that he was the one who started to have evil intentions towards you, and I also know that you are looked down upon in the barracks because you are my adopted son..."

Xue Ziqin didn't want to listen any more.

It was at this time that Xue Changfeng mentioned the thing he didn't want to hear the most.

"Xue Ziqin, you must always remember," Xue Changfeng said, "Your surname is Xue."

"I promise you, I promise you to let the Xue family's child be the emperor..." Xue Ziqin said, "But I have never regarded you as a father, and I have repaid your life-saving grace for the Xue family all these years." " He said, his throat was a little itchy, and he continued: "But in my heart, my surname has never been Xue."

"You blame me for treating you badly."

"No," Xue Ziqin said, "General, you are just a general."

"Yes, I understand..." Xue Changfeng said, closing his eyes, his voice became softer, "That's fine, then I will give you the last order in the name of the general."

"Be sure to let the blood of the Xue family ascend the throne, so that the Xue family can enjoy the glory forever."

"The last general," Xue Ziqin said with sobs, knelt on one knee beside the couch, bowed his head with his hands folded, and said word by word, "take orders."

After he finished speaking, he raised his head again, and Xue Changfeng was silent.

His eyes were astringent, and he seemed to be crying, but no tears fell.

Xue Ziqin entered the military camp at the age of eight and was bullied until he was 14. Xue Changfeng knew all about it.Xue Changfeng never helped him, not because Xue Changfeng didn't know, but because Xue Changfeng didn't want to care.From his point of view, Xue Changfeng, a man must rely on himself to win the world, and even more so, he must rely on himself to make others fear and be convinced.

Are they father and son?When he realized that Xue Changfeng would not protect him, the answer became obvious.

However, Xue Changfeng's indifference made the group of dregs in the barracks who looked down on him even worse, until the battalion commander of the infantry battalion insulted him unbearably - that was the first time he killed someone, or tortured him. Very good start.So much so that no matter how many people he killed afterwards, he didn't feel a little moved in his heart.

"Old man..." Xue Ziqin said softly, "Although you and I are not father and son, I am from the Xue family, and this will not change."

"Rest in peace, General."

……

The previous wealth and magnificence of the Xue Mansion were covered by all kinds of white gauze and elegiac couplets.

Xue Ziqin knelt in front of the coffin, Fu Yang and Cen Liyun were helping him, many important court officials came to offer incense to Xue Changfeng, and pretended to cry to express their condolences.

Both Cen Lixuan and Cen Lijin came, and hearing that Concubine Jin was so heartbroken, she almost went blind from crying.Xue Jin and Xue Changfeng have a very close relationship. Now that Xue Changfeng is dead, she can't go out of the palace to offer incense sticks, so she can only be imprisoned in the Lianshuang Palace.Cen Lixuan, with a white cloth strip tied between his forehead, followed behind Cen Lijin, and the two knelt before the coffin to offer incense.

Xue Ziqin knelt aside and looked up at him.Although he had a mournful look on his face, his eyes were indifferent, and he probably didn't feel any sadness at all.

Whether it was Xue Changfeng or Xue Jin, they had always turned a blind eye to him, and this moment made him cry heartbroken, even if he was given two boards, it would be impossible for him to cry.

Cen Lijin, on the other hand, offered a stick of incense, his eyes filled with tears.

"Uncle..." he muttered as if talking to himself.

The latter words were not uttered, but Xue Ziqin reckoned that it should be something like "Bless me to inherit the great order".

Cen Lixuan got up after burning the incense, went to Xue Ziqin and said softly: "My cousin's condolences."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your compassion." Xue Ziqin quietly moved to the side.

The sons and daughters of the royal family can do nothing but act, they are all born.

Cen Liyan didn't show any displeasure towards him, but turned to Cen Liyun behind him and said, "My condolences to the emperor."

Cen Liyun is a daughter's family, and he can't bear this kind of parting. Even though he doesn't have much relationship with Xue Changfeng, he is still a little sad after all.She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a silk handkerchief, nodded to Cen Lixuan and said, "Thank you, brother."

Cen Lixuan saluted slightly, turned around and was about to leave the mourning hall.

Although both he and Cen Lijin were ordered to leave the palace to express their condolences on behalf of the palace, but now Xue's residence is too busy with people coming and going, even if he has something to say to Xue Ziqin, it seems that it is not the right time.

Xue Ziqin looked at his back from the corner of his eye and walked out of the gate.

There were many thoughts in his mind, and there was an urge for him to explain the matter clearly to Cen Lixuan.Yes, make it clear, explain the strange relationship between the two of them, whether it is because of love, or because of interest.

"Yun'er." Xue Ziqin said suddenly.

She was startled, Xue Ziqin never called her name.Xue Ziqin got up from the futon and said to her, "Hello here for me."

"...Okay." Cen Liyun nodded, and then Xue Ziqin walked out the door.

Xue Ziqin quickly chased after him, Cen Lixuan and the little eunuch who accompanied him walked one after the other.He went up and grabbed Cen Lixuan's hand, and hurriedly said: "I have something to tell you."

Cen Lixuan came out with his little six sons - when he came to Xue's mansion, he could have brought Jiang out, but Jiang had already gone to Anshang Palace to serve him, so he brought his little six sons out.

Little Six didn't know the relationship between the two of them, he was frightened immediately, and hurriedly said: "General Xue, you..."

Xue Ziqin was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he dragged Cen Lixuan to the backyard.Cen Lixuan turned his head and made a silent gesture to Little Six, letting Xue Ziqin drag him away.

Now the servants are all busy in the front hall, even the soldiers brought by Xue Ziqin are all wearing white cloths and guarding the front yard and outside the general's mansion.

Xue Ziqin dragged him and walked straight to Min Qiu's room.

If it was different from usual, he would naturally take Cen Liyu to his bedroom.But now he still has a general's wife, and there are a lot of women's things in the bedroom, so he always feels a little uncomfortable.

After entering the room, Xue Ziqin closed the door, pressed Cen Lixuan on the door panel, lowered his head and said, "Are you really here to mourn?"

"Of course...not." Cen Lixuan said with a smile.

Xue Ziqin looked at his face with a pure and clean smile, without any abnormalities, as if he was talking about something unimportant.

"Then why did you come here?"

"To see the general." Cen Lixuan said softly, wrapping his arms around Xue Ziqin's waist, "Doesn't the general want to see Xuan'er?"

"...Think." He said this frankly, and then kissed Cen Lixuan passionately.

This kiss was very intense, when he let go of Cen Lixuan's mouth, the other party was already out of breath, and his cheeks were flushed with passion.

Xue Ziqin looked at him straight and said, "Are you treating me sincerely?"

"of course."

He looked at those beautiful eyes, trying to find some flaws in them.But no, Cen Lixuan's eyes are like a pool of clear spring, one can see to the end at a glance.

"Do you know what foster father said?" Xue Ziqin said, "I promised him that the blood of the Xue family will be the emperor."

"I am." Cen Lixuan smiled brighter and brighter.

Xue Ziqin wanted to say something more, but he couldn't say anything when he looked at Cen Lixuan's face.

If it was said that Cen Liyan was a bright moon in his heart before, then now, unconsciously, most of this bright moon has been covered by dark clouds.

"General, you promised Xuan'er." Cen Lizhen said, raised his hand and stretched out a finger, gently drawing circles on his chest.

"You're lying to me." Xue Ziqin grabbed his naughty hand and said hoarsely.

"I didn't lie to you." Cen Lixuan raised his head and met his eyes, "If you help me, I will be yours."

"Is this true?"

"Isn't this true?"

"Aren't you afraid that such a blatant ambition will make me regret it?"

Hearing this, a smile appeared in Cen Lixuan's eyes: "General, if you want me, I'll give it to you. I can't be more sincere."

Xue Ziqin was slightly taken aback, Cen Lixuan pressed closer to him and asked, "What is the general thinking?"

"I was thinking that my adoptive father had just passed away, so we are so out of date." Xue Ziqin said, let go of him, walked to the table and sat down, "Go back to the palace first, I will come to the palace to find you when I have time."

"The general repented?"

Xue Ziqin lowered his head and poured tea on his own, without even raising his eyes to look at him: "I will not regret it, please come back, Your Highness, Shuchen's father has just passed away, and the etiquette is not enough."

Cen Lixuan wanted to say something, but he just opened his mouth, before he could say a word, there was a knock on the door outside: "General, General, the princess is calling you over."

It was Min Qiu's voice.

Xue Ziqin stepped forward to open the door, nodded to him, then turned to salute Cen Lixuan and said, "Please, Your Highness."

Cen Lixuan gave him a meaningful look, but finally left.
