chasing autumn

There are two reasons for Zhan Hao's trip to the border.

First, it was because he received a letter from Qingyue, saying that Fang Xu had left the capital alone for the border the day before yesterday, and he didn't know what he wanted to do.

Secondly, the time has come, he has to meet his old friend—the border guard, Chen Fang.

"General, what a general!"

At the frontier of Chen's Mansion, Chen Fang saw from a distance above the hall, the visitor was wearing plain clothes and white robes, with a high hair crown, and he was still thinking about who was visiting, only to see Zhan Hao turning around and looking at him with a smile, and then suddenly realized.For a moment, Chen Fang was so excited that he couldn't express it. He cautiously waved away the servants in the hall, stepped forward a few steps, and bowed respectfully, "Subordinate, kowtow to the general! General! The general has finally come to see the subordinate!"

Zhan Hao hurriedly helped: "put away your tears, since the moment Li Shi left, you and I have no right to cry anymore."

"Yes, the subordinate lost his composure..." Chen Fang said, "General, it's been 20 years!"

"20 years..." Zhan Hao said, "Now, you are the general."

"In the hearts of my subordinates, there is only one general!" Chen Fang said solemnly, "There is only one general!"

"You sent Chen Xiaoqianli to send a letter to the magpie, informing the imperial family of the dispatch and changes in the border defense, and I knew that you were still Chen Fang back then! It was still Chen Fang who held the command flag in front of me and charged forward!"

"Chen Fang, always be at the command of the general!"

"Okay! Li Shi did not pick the wrong person!" Zhan Hao put his hand on Chen Fang's shoulder, and nodded solemnly, "Zhan Hao died in the prison 20 years ago, and those who are left in this world now, It's just a shadow, a shadow that came back from hell to take revenge..." Zhan Hao said shallowly, paused slightly, and smiled lightly, "There is no such thing as General Zhan anymore! I remember that you were in my Zhan family's army with Li Xi in those days. Just follow Li Shi and call me big brother!"

"This..." Years of habits, and the past 20 years of thinking, made it difficult for Chen Fang to change his words for a while.He hesitated for a while, and finally said excitedly, "Yes, big brother! Big brother carried Chen Fang's life back from the battlefield! Chen Fang is willing to do his best, even his children and family, to help big brother succeed!"

"I can understand your determination," Zhan Hao frowned slightly, "but I don't want to hurt your children. Don't say anything, don't say anything, don't let them get involved in this torrent again!"

Before Zhan Hao finished speaking, he saw a young man in military uniform at the door of the house with half a steamed bun in his mouth, and walked into the hall carelessly. This person was Chen Xiao, "Father, why don't you go to eat? Brothers are all waiting Already!"

Chen Fang turned around and scolded the young man: "Why did they wait? I think you ran back from the barracks to look for me after waiting! You can't learn from your elder brother and do more serious work! It also saves you from always Go worry about such useless things as eating and sleeping!"

The corner of Chen Xiao's mouth twitched, and he said in disbelief: "Father's words are wrong. Eating and sleeping are important things in life. If you don't eat well and sleep well, you will lose energy. If you don't have energy, how can you protect the country and fight wars? How can this be useless! Really!"

"Are you still reasonable?!"

"He's right!" Zhan Hao laughed, and slowly stepped forward to look at the boy, thinking that it would only be more than a month since he left the capital, and he thought this boy was brave and upright before, but now he doesn't know if he will return When I got home, my parents and elder brothers cared for me, so I seemed naughty and self-willed.

Zhan Hao smiled and said, "I can't do these two things well, but I want to do other things first. How can I be sure? How can I guarantee it?"

Chen Xiao glanced at Zhan Hao, but he couldn't remember him because he had taken the medicine, "Who are you? It's your turn for the General's House to speak?"

Ever since Chen Fang was promoted to the commander-in-chief of the border guards, some merchants from the Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty often visited the mansion.It's just that a few of them are indeed big local households, dominating one side, and it's not easy to retreat all when they come to ask for an interview.Chen Xiao has long been disgusted with this point.At this time, since Zhan Hao was also a businessman who came to court his father to seek a relationship, he felt very contemptuous in his heart, so he asked his father, "What kind of business is he selling this time? Fur? Or medicinal materials?"

"Presumptuous!" Chen Fang strode forward and grabbed him by the ear, "Quickly kneel down and salute!"

Chen Xiao got anxious now, so he didn't kneel down, and shouted: "Who is he? I'll kneel down for him? Can he bear it?"

"You bastard!" Chen Fang slapped him and shouted, "I don't believe I can't order you anymore!"

"Hey, what are you doing!" Zhan Hao stopped Chen Fang.

"I never imagined that dad would have such great hand strength without eating!" The young man covered his face and complained, not convinced but dared not speak out to refute.He just kept glancing at the ground, looking distressed at the dusty steamed buns that fell on the ground, and whispered angrily, "It's already past meal time, and if you go to the kitchen, you won't be able to find any steamed buns." It's a pity, a pity..."

"Still muttering?!" After Chen Fang said that, seeing him secretly wronged, he lost his temper for a while and laughed instead.He knew that what the boy said was ironic.The slap just now must have been not severe, that's why he wanted to play tricks.If his father really took the responsibility, he would have shut up a long time ago if he dared to speak up.

Chen Fang said to Zhan Hao: "Brother, this is the second son Chen Xiao, a naughty dog ​​who offended the eldest brother by uttering false words, Chen Fang is ashamed!"

"No problem." Zhan Hao waved his hand, Shu Yan said with a smile, "His stubborn appearance reminds me of Huo Lian..."

The same stubborn temper, the same teenage heart, the same no tears when seeing the coffin!

Zhan Hao was thinking, his heart was startled suddenly, his eyes flickered slightly, but the words had already been spoken and could not be undone, his heart was angrily: Why did you think of him!

"Huolian?..." Chen Xiao listened carefully, thinking that this name is extremely rare, and thinking that Yu Zhuangyuan's hometown seems to be in Hebei, so he stepped forward and asked, "You mean Yu Huolian? Then you are..." Chen Xiao Xiao remembered when Butler Zhang said that Mr. Yu was visiting when he first entered the door. Mr. Yu...his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Are you Yu Huolian's father?"

Zhan Hao was startled, he didn't know why he was so happy, and said, "It's true."

"That's great!" Chen Xiao saluted immediately, and said respectfully, "Well, uncle, oh, no, uncle! Can you teach me some kung fu? I had the honor to compete with Yu Zhuangyuan, and his kung fu is simply superb! He Said that his martial arts were taught by his father!"

Zhan Hao said in his heart, so it was for this! "My nephew wants to learn any kung fu, the old man can teach you. It's just...it depends on whether you have the ability to learn it!" Zhan Hao snorted softly, glanced at him, and walked outside the room while laughing.

Seeing this, Chen Xiao hurriedly followed, and said with a smile: "My nephew must be careful, and I will not disappoint my uncle! Uncle! That's the trick..."
