"

"Let him go!" Zuo Qiuhai yelled angrily, seeing the pained face on that face, his heart felt like a knife was piercing him, and he was so angry that he almost smashed the sword in his hand.

The man in blue didn't say a word, just tapped a formation with his fingertips and covered the two of them easily.He flew up suddenly, and made dozens of moves with Zuo Qiuhai in a flash, the speed was so fast that even the spectators couldn't see clearly.

A quarter of an hour later, the sky was completely clear and clear, the man in blue had long since disappeared, and the general Zuoqiu landed on the ground with his unconscious son in his arms, with a complicated and suspicious expression on his face.

【Mingshan Temple】

Fragrant Luo warms the tent, and the fragrance of medicinal food penetrates deep into the bone marrow, making the listener calm and cultivate the body and mind.This solemn and peaceful palace is simple but not mediocre, showing the grace and generosity of the Chu Dynasty but also simple and not extravagant.

On one side, the fire was simmering medicine, while on the other side of the couch, the child turned over restlessly, with his eyes closed, and his small mouth murmured as if he was dreaming, and suddenly kicked the bedding violently, and murmured in horror:

"Help me... just me..."

Holding the restless shoulder with both hands, gentle and steady strength is the best comfort.In the child's dream, he only heard a mellow and soft voice that seemed to come from outside the sky, tapping on the heartstrings.

"Don't be afraid, it's all right."

Zuoqiu Jie woke up quietly, opened his eyes in panic, and saw a young man with a bright and bright blue sun, his eyebrows and eyes were exquisite and unparalleled.Especially those light gray pupils, bright and moist, staring at him without blinking with a smile.

He suddenly woke up, and subconsciously moved to the couch, hugging the quilt that had just been kicked away.

When the young man saw that he was awake, he showed a reassuring smile, and said, "Doctor Zhang, he is awake."

The imperial doctor came in respectfully, first kowtowed to the young man, then walked up to Zuoqiu Jie and said, "The young master was just shocked, why don't you drink some brown sugar water first." Then he brought a bowl and handed it over .

Zuoqiujie shook his head timidly, and asked, "Where's dad?"

Seeing this, the young man asked the imperial physician to put the brown sugar water aside and retreat first, and then said softly: "Your father and emperor father are discussing important affairs in the court in the Palace of Qinzheng, and it will take an hour to come back." His demeanor was as calm as a rock, Gentle as jade, the clothes are also luxurious and elegant, and the demeanor of the emperor's family is undoubtedly evident.

"You are the prince." Zuoqiu Jie's eyes flashed, and he whispered.

"My name is Chu You, and you are Jie'er, right?" Chu You was only 11 years old at the time, seeing that the child's appearance was exquisite and cute, quite exotic, and the tied black hair was also slightly curled strangely, so he was curious. caressed.

After confirming, Zuo Qiujie immediately remembered the etiquette Zuo Qiuhai taught him, and was about to get off the couch to kneel down, but Chu You grabbed his arm: "What are you going to do?"

"Father said that he needs to salute when he sees the prince." Zuo Qiujie looked at him timidly with clear eyes.

Chu You smiled and waved his hands: "That's a rule set by the palace people. I don't like it, and you don't have to salute." After saying that, he squeezed his face to show his love.

Zuo Qiujie looked at Chu You, and felt that the place where his face was pinched by that hand was burning hot, so he shrank a few inches under his hand, and responded vaguely.

"What's the matter, isn't Jie'er feeling well?" Seeing his strange expression, Chu You took a closer look: "Do you want to call Doctor Zhang again?"

"No, thank you, Prince." Zuo Qiujie looked at Jun Yan who was close at hand, and for some reason, his heart was beating so fast, and his whole body seemed to soften.

Chu You smiled, stretched out his hand and pulled him over and said, "Don't call me prince, it sounds awkward. You put on your shoes first, how about I take you to see your two elder brothers?"

Zuo Qiujie didn't know why, but he put on his shoes obediently, and let him pull them out of the palace and onto the sedan chair.

Sitting in the same sedan chair with Chu You, he felt uncomfortable all over, so he could only straighten his small body, as if sitting upright.And Chu You was sitting opposite him, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, without saying a word, a pair of gray eyes just looked at Zuoqiu Jie like this, making the latter feel uneasy, and could only lower his eyes to stare at the hem of Chu You's dark green forging clothes.

"Am I that scary?" Chu You suddenly asked with a smile.

"...No." Zuo Qiujie replied hesitantly.

"Then why sit like this, aren't you tired?" Chu You pulled his hand over, placed it on the cushion naturally, and patted his back, signaling to relax: "You don't need to put your hands like this, and you don't need to be so tense."

Zuo Qiujie looked at the hands holding him, which were a little bigger than his, and the touch covering the palms was warm.Before he could recover from this strange feeling, the sedan chair stopped, and a lazy voice came from outside.

"Ayou, why did you let me come so early today?"

To actually call the prince by his name directly in the palace, it can be seen that this person must not be simple.Thinking of this, Zuo Qiujie poked his head out curiously and carefully to see what happened.

Chu You pulled him over and opened the curtain directly. The white snow that entered the eyes was so dazzling that people's eyes were blurred. There was a young man in purple velvet clothes standing on the snow, with a crimson gold paper fan in his hand. He looked a little older than Chu You. Tall, with handsome features and unparalleled heroism, with a smile in the corner of his eyes, he has a suave air at such a young age.

"General Zuoqiu's beloved son came to visit today, so I asked Xingzi to come earlier." Chu You and the man looked at each other and smiled, full of tacit understanding.

This person is the only son of Feng Xian, an important minister in the current court, Feng Xingzi.This young man is only fourteen years old, but he is full of poetry and calligraphy, and his writing style is also unique, turbulent, but he is a genius of the dynasty.He is even more informal and ignores the red tape in the palace, but Chu Kong has always cherished talents, cared for such weird talents, and let him go to school with Prince Chu You.

When Feng Xingzi saw Zuo Qiujie beside Chu You, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "This is General Zuo Qiuhai's son? Why doesn't he look like a general, but looks like a boy and a girl."

Hearing this, Zuo Qiujie lowered his eyes, clenched his sleeves tightly, trying to hold back his tears.

Seeing this, Chu You winked at Feng Xingzi, then stretched out his hand to embrace Zuo Qiujie, and said softly: "Xingzi's words are not big or small, but they are not malicious, so don't take them to heart."

Feng Xingzi stuck out his tongue, and leaned over to stare at Zuoqiujie, and saw that the child's eyes were full of tears, and he looked like he was being bullied, so he said depressedly: "The tiger father has no dogs, the son of a general, how can he?" Crying every now and then?"

"I didn't cry!" Zuo Qiujie suddenly exclaimed loudly, looking angrily at Feng Xingzi who was seven years older than him, his eyes were wide open and there were still unflowing tears flashing non-stop.

"This imposing manner is just like the son of the general," Feng Xingzi said, shaking his fan and looking at the child who looked like a cat with a smile.

"Okay, Xingzi, don't joke anymore." Chu You made the two of them stop staring at each other at the same time with a single sound: "Let's go to the altar and find Fusheng."

****

The altar of Jingguo is located on the east side of Jinxiu Gate, where the emperor worships the heavens. Behind the altar is a solemn and luxurious courtyard, where the high priest Zizun and his disciples live and practice.

As soon as the three of them entered the courtyard, they saw a child about the same age as Zuo Qiujie standing in the snow practicing martial arts.The little boy was tall and slender, wearing a light blue noble dress that reached to the floor, with wide sleeves facing the wind, long hair hanging down his waist, and the silver forehead ornament unique to priests was even more dusty.There is no childishness on his face, a delicate and fair little face is as cold as ice, maybe it is the weight of the mission undertaken by the young priest, even the childish expression has disappeared into nothing.

"Jie'er, this is Fusheng. If I remember correctly, you are both seven years old." Chu You pulled Zuoqiu Jie to Fusheng, and made the two children stand facing each other.

When Zuo Qiujie saw a child who was about the same age as himself, he let go of his courage, stepped forward and asked, "When was Fusheng born?"

Fusheng glanced at him indifferently, but didn't answer.

Zuo Qiujie looked back at Chu You suspiciously, but Chu You still had the same smile: "Fu Sheng likes to be quiet, and he doesn't talk too much, don't mind."

"I'm October [-]th, what about you?" Zuo Qiujie mustered up his courage and asked again.

"Older than you." Fu Sheng finally spoke, his voice was also calm.

"Oh." Zuoqiu Jie nodded, and the topic disappeared immediately.

Looking at the two children, Feng Xingzi suddenly opened the fan with a swipe of the ground, and thought: "The four of us are here today, I always feel that it is destined, why don't we just get married and not waste the meeting in this life?"

"Good suggestion, Xingzi." Chu You was delighted when he heard that, his gray eyes gleaming, "Why don't we use this altar as a lesson to prove the brotherhood of the four of us."

"Ayou's right, I don't know if you two have objections, huh?" Feng Xingzi put his hands on his head and looked at Zuoqiujie and Fusheng with a smile.

The two little boys seemed to understand, but naturally they followed the two elder brothers.

So the four of them walked up to the altar and looked at the clear sky after the snow, which remained unchanged for thousands of years.They looked at each other, and then took turns making the vows.

Feng Xingzi was the oldest among the four, he put away his usual playful smile and said: "Today, taking this altar as a lesson, I, Feng Xingzi, Chu You, Fu Sheng, and Zuo Qiujie became brothers, and we have the same blessings and share the same difficulties. When, don’t ask to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, but to die in the same year, the same month, and the same day, if there is even the slightest breach of oath, you will be struck by lightning immediately, and you will die without a place to die!”

Seeing him so rare and serious, Chu You was quite surprised, and also walked up, and said in his usual gentle and calm voice: "Today, I, Chu You, become brothers with Fengxingzi, Fusheng, and Zuoqiujie. Take responsibility together, even though we don't have the fate to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, I hope to die in the same year, the same month, and the same day." Having said this, he paused, and then said: "If I, Chu You, break my oath, not only me, but the Chu family would also be willing to surrender Give in."

"Ah You!" Feng Xingzi exclaimed: "What nonsense are you talking about? How can this matter of Jiangshan be casual..."

"I'm not casual." Chu You said with a smile. He is only 11 years old, but he has different ages.
