Removed the armor, removed the blade, searched, until standing in the empty hall of the Qingzhong Hall, Lou Chen somehow figured out why.

The finger that was obviously broken is now intact, the person who has been buried in the loess and turned into a dry bone is by his side at this moment, and the things he has already experienced are reappearing - all these remind him that this is not a dream, nor is it a hell .

So he's... back in time?

After fighting for more than ten years, Lou Chen, who was loyal to the emperor and patriotic, devoted himself to death, did not believe in those myths and legends from the bottom of his heart.

He doesn't believe in ghosts or gods, and he never gave up even when he was at the end of the road. He only relied on his own efforts to create a world.But he didn't expect that reincarnation and God's will trick people to encounter such a mysterious thing-one moment he was still waiting for death on the edge of the cliff, and the next moment he turned back to more than ten years ago.

Even Lou Chen, the general who protects the country with extraordinary concentration and is used to watching life and death, was also a little stunned, and he couldn't believe it for a long time.

He was definitely not alone at this time, after realizing that Lou Chen was in a trance, Lou Ye kept paying attention to his words and deeds, and raised a few words from time to time.

It was still early when the two of them came, there were a dozen or so people standing in the main hall in twos and threes, but these people didn't seem to see them, they circled around a place and began to exchange greetings and make connections.

Lou Chen, an extremely talented minister in the previous life, of course knew why these people ignored him. The children of the aristocratic families in the capital each had their own circles. He was stationed at the border with his uncle all the year round. Zi naturally despised and rejected him.

But he is no longer the fledgling little kid back then, and he will no longer be unwilling and envious.

Afraid of making mistakes in words and deeds, and even more afraid of unconsciously revealing doubts and causing suspicion, Lou Chen subconsciously chose to hide his true self at this time, just stood beside Lou Ye with his head down, and followed his uncle's orders in every move, humbly and cautiously. It looked like Lou Ye smiled knowingly.

The two chose a corner to stand there, until many teenagers around his age came one after another and crowded the entire Qingzhong Hall, Lou Chen finally remembered what they had to face this time.

Liang Gaozu used martial arts to fight for the world, and he was able to build Nanliang after ten years of fighting horses and fighting hard. Therefore, Nanliang has had ancestral training since the founding of the country. You must not be weak if you do not understand martial arts and do not practice martial arts.

Literature is used to cultivate virtue, and martial arts is used to strengthen the body.

When each royal child starts enlightenment, he will choose a son from a noble family to study with him, and give him the official title of "Fengbi".

It's just different from Wenfu of "Fengbi", the person who "holds the sword" can carry a weapon with him and act as a guard.

Whether they are loyal or not is directly related to the safety of the princes, and can even affect the prosperity of the Southern Liang Dynasty in the future. Therefore, Gaozu made a rule that in order to test their character and character, they will be assessed secretly in a three-year cycle. A group of children who passed the assessment were selected as the "sword holders" of the enlightened prince.

Holding the pen and holding the sword, the writing and the military complement each other, which not only ensures the prosperity of the civil society, but also ensures the security of the military—this is the reason why Nanliang can stand for a hundred years in the midst of the great powers despite its invincibility.

The three-year period, the winner is the important minister of the emperor, not to mention the unlimited future, if the assistant prince ascends to the great treasure in the future, it is even more likely to reach the sky in one step.

Therefore, the competition for the selection of each issue of "Holding the Sword" is extremely fierce. All the hairpin aristocratic families are trying their best to send their most promising children to the palace. Starting to prepare, everyone was looking forward to jumping over the dragon's gate and getting the prince's own eyes.

The only difference is that this round of participation in the selection of "holding the sword" is more intense than in the past, and the reason is still to be blamed on the current emperor.

The year before when the selection of attendants coincided with the Empress Dowager's funeral, His Majesty was in mourning for his mother and didn't care about trivial matters, so the ceremony that should have been held at this time last year was dragged on for a year. At the age of [-], the matter of martial arts should not be delayed. With His Majesty's habit of not rushing things, I am afraid that it will really be delayed for another two years, and the selection will be combined when the next three-year period is up.

Lou Chen was already 12 years old this year. It stands to reason that he is close to the age of dancing spoons (13 years old) and has lived in the frontier for a long time, so he is not eligible to be selected as "holding the sword".But for some reason, a month before last, an emperor ordered him to be a candidate for the new "Sword Holder", and ordered him to leave immediately without delay.

After receiving the imperial decree, not only him, but even Lou Ye, who has always been indifferent all the year round, was very surprised. The content of the imperial decree obviously did not conform to the rules, but the Holy Grace bestowed such a generous gift, Lou Chen could only accept it even if he was nervous.

But the good thing is that in addition to the selection order, there is also a family order.

Candidates for "holding the sword" are usually personally escorted to the imperial city by one person selected by their parents, and participate in the screening together to boost morale.

Although Lou Ye is actually Lou Chen's uncle in terms of blood, but due to some old reasons that are inconvenient to talk about, Lou Chen is actually recorded under Lou Ye's name in the genealogy.

Therefore, outside Lou Chen can only respectfully call Lou Ye father, and only when there is no outsider in private, can he call Lou Ye intimately uncle.

No one but Lou Ye could receive this "kinship order"—this is why Lou Ye, as a general on the frontier, was able to leave his station and go to the capital during the non-reporting period.

During the month of rushing in the previous life, Lou Chen and Lou Ye had their own thoughts.

Lou Chen was unexpectedly excited and apprehensive, happy to see that man, but worried about his mother because he might be away from home for many years.

Lou Ye thought more, doubting the origin of the imperial decree, worrying about the past, present, and future...

However, his doubts and worries didn't last long, and they soon knew the reason for this special decree, because just after the young "holding the sword" candidates had arrived, the prince who had finished school also just came slowly.

Lou Chen's heart skipped a beat when he heard the eunuch's voice, and his fingertips trembled unconsciously.

The reunion this time was the beginning of his entanglement with that person's fate. Since then, the fate of the two has been closely linked, sharing good and bad.

But now, just after being reborn, he is facing the biggest turning point in his life, and he has not yet settled down to meet that person. Lou Chen seems to have turbulent waves in his heart. Drowning, falling into the endless abyss again.

Lou Chen was so out of breath by the manic emotions in his heart, he moved back unconsciously, half of his body hid behind Lou Ye, and buried his head to try to hide his sense of existence.

However, things are always like this, the more you avoid, the more you hide, but certain things will find you.

Just when Lou Chen was about to disappear in the crowd, a scorching gaze landed on him accurately.Strange to say, the gaze was originally focused on Lou Ye who was at the side, but when he caught a glimpse of Lou Chen from the corner of his eye, his eyes fixed on it, and then he couldn't move away.

Feeling a scorching gaze falling on his body, Lou Chen sighed softly amidst the respectful bowing of the surrounding people, and finally walked out of the shadow resigned to his fate.

When he raised his head, as expected, he saw that person at first sight, the man he had fought for and died for in his previous life—the future emperor of Nanliang, the current second prince, Gao Yu.

Gao Yu was the second son of Emperor Nanliang, born to Concubine Shu.

Although the current saint, Gao Zhun, has mediocre martial arts and martial arts, and is only obsessed with calligraphy, painting and landscapes, his sons are all dragons and phoenixes, talented in managing the world.

Gao Yu, as the second son, is neither the heir nor the eldest son, so he can finally stand out and become the final winner in the fight for the heir. In addition to Lou Chen's full support, it has to be said that Gao Yu himself is quite a kingly demeanor.

As an adult, Gao Yu is tolerant and resourceful, and he is ruthless to his enemies and even more ruthless to himself.He never exposes his shortcomings easily, and hides his likes and dislikes very deeply. Sometimes he can even use himself to achieve his goals.

Such a person is generally a hero in the history books, brave and resourceful but tricked by fate.But Gao Yu was different. He hibernated for many years and waited for the opportunity, and finally succeeded in seizing the throne and proclaiming himself emperor, which can be regarded as breaking the rumors in the history books.

But no matter how resourceful Gao Yu is in the future and how good at using people's hearts, it will be after many years.

Gao Yu, who has not yet experienced the greatest setback in life, has not been abandoned or bullied, is just a little prince spoiled by his parents at this time, with an arrogant and stubborn temper, but always remembers his identity.

Gao Yu is now only eight years old and only reaches Lou Chen's chest. He is wearing a gold-painted dragon purple robe. When he was still a little bun, he had a cute and youthful face.

The prince can't tie his hair until he leaves the palace, so Gao Yu combs his long hair. The black hair passed down from his mother makes his face look fairer and more tender. Yun Yi's big watery eyes like a clear spring, flickering and flickering, squeezed on the chubby face, cute and agile, one can't help but yearn for it.

But at this moment, this seemingly well-behaved and sensible little prince, who is actually mischievous, is trying his best to maintain the prince's demeanor in front of everyone. His words and deeds have royal demeanor, and his etiquette is also extremely thoughtful.

After Lou Ye took his nephew to salute, he turned his eyes away, slowly raised his hand, and put on airs like a model, and said in a small milky voice with a strong nasal sound: "Lou Ye General excuse me, I have heard that General Lou's name has not been seen for a long time, but when I saw the general today, he was indeed brave and mighty like a general."

"The second prince's absurd praise, I am ashamed and dare not take it."

Although the person in front of him was still young, Lou Ye did not dare to slack off at all.He had met Gao Yu in his early years. At that time, the second prince was still a babbling child, and he had no memory, let alone familiarity, so he expected that Gao Yu would come straight over not just to exchange greetings, but to express his intentions. refers to.

But the facts were just as he expected, Gao Yu's mouth curled up, and he replied with a smile: "Why don't you dare to be this? General Lou is a loyal and brave general who has been stationed at the border for Nanliang for many years, and his hard work is recorded in the military aircraft battalion's credit book Yes, if you have the opportunity, you will naturally be rewarded. However, even though it is a gift from the imperial decree, you must be able to bear this kindness." Gao Yu turned his dark and bright eyes, and said to Lou Chen, " This is the son of the Lou family, he is indeed a handsome young man with extraordinary appearance."

As he spoke, he shifted his gaze to Lou Chen, but he didn't expect that when he looked over, Lou Chen was also looking at him for a moment, his slightly lowered eyes were turbulent, as if struggling with thousands of emotions.

Gao Yu was stunned for a moment, a strange emotion seemed to be transmitted to his body through those eyes, and then spread from his heart.There was a trace of sadness, a trace of anger, and a trace of...sadness that he couldn't understand at this age.

Gao Yu, who was only eight years old, still didn't understand the meaning of those emotions, but felt that Lou Chen's eyes as deep as the sea seemed to have magical powers, attracting him to explore deeply.

It's a pity that it was futile in the end, those emotions beyond his comprehension made him bored for no reason, he even forgot the polite words he should say next, pouted his mouth, he almost couldn't control the anger in his heart.

However, before he spoke, Lou Chen, who had been silent all this time, reacted one step ahead of him.

The author has something to say: explain:

The map and official positions are set according to the Northern Song Dynasty, and the imperial palace uses the name of the palace in the Tang Dynasty.

Mixed use in some places does not affect reading.
