Sir, I can do it!

The Northland in late autumn is bleak, and the waist-high weeds sway wildly under the raging autumn wind.The wind swirls in the valley, and the sound of the wind is full of mourning.

The guard pushed Wei Xi to a stop on a hillside, and Shen Qingping followed behind with a little boy in her arms.

On the hillside, the little boy twisted his body and said, "Uncle Shen, I want to go down."

Shen Qingping bent down and put the little boy on the ground, and the little boy immediately ran towards Wei Xi happily with small steps: "Father!"

Wei Xi looked down at him, and saw that his cheeks were flushed by the wind, and he was looking at her with big eyes blinking.He held the corner of his mouth and showed a smile, stretched out his hand to gather the skirt of the little boy's clothes, and asked, "Is Jin'er cold?"

Murong Jin shook her head and said excitedly: "It's not cold at all, I still want Uncle Shen to take me to a horse race. Grandma said that all men in Murong's family are heroes on horseback. I want to inherit the legacy of my ancestors , Take back the lost ground of my Murong family."

The child's voice is immature, mixed with the sound of the wind, it is clear and sweet.

Wei Xi's face turned cold for a moment, but he soon recovered his smile and asked him, "Then do you know how to regain the lost ground?"

Murong Jin waved his fist and said proudly: "Hit back!"

Wei Xi shook his head with a smile, stretched out his hand and patted his little head, and said, "From tomorrow on, you can study with Dad."

Murong Jin immediately put down her small face, and muttered: "Reading is too boring."

Wei Xi looked at him with raised eyebrows.

Murong Jin nodded her little feet, and said, "Then, then read a little bit."

"Ok?"

Murong Jin gritted her teeth and squeezed her fingers: "Then a little more?"

Wei Xi looked at him for a while, then smiled suddenly, he nodded Murong Jin's forehead, and said, "You are so like him."

Murong Jin blinked her doubtful eyes: "Who is he?"

Wei Xi was silent for a while, and looked to the south quietly.

"Jin'er, kneel down facing the south and kowtow."

"Oh." Murong Jin knelt down obediently and kowtowed, then turned to Wei Xi and asked, "Father, why does Jin'er kowtow?"

Wei Xi's eyes were slightly red, and he said softly: "Your eldest aunt has passed away. From now on, every year at this time, Jin'er will kowtow to the south to pay homage to your aunt, remember?"

Of course Murong Jin has never met Wei Shuning, he has been in Yushan since he was born.But seeing his father's sad expression, he also understood that the eldest aunt was a very important person in his father's heart, and also his relative.

Murong Jin kowtowed twice again, and said solemnly: "Auntie, Jin'er has never seen you before. But Jin'er will definitely remember you."

Wei Xi rubbed his head, his eyes drifted to the south again.

Shen Qingping said: "Things in the world are always wrong. If Li Che could let it go one day sooner, maybe General Han Qing would not have taken this step."

Wei Xi said: "This is the destiny, no one can escape."

The wind lifted Wei Xi's broken hair in front of his forehead, and he stared forward with deep eyes: "It's ready to go."

"Second Master, let Qingping go instead of Second Master."

Wei Xi shook his head: "The situation in Yanzhou is complicated. If I don't come in person, I'm afraid Wanyanmin will delay and neglect. The northern border is very important and cannot be taken lightly. Besides, Wanyanmin's plan to plot the Lord of Yanzhou will be done before nothing happens. , he won't do anything to me."

Shen Qingping said: "This subordinate will protect the second master at every step."

Murong Jin listened for a while, then raised his head and asked Wei Xi, "Is Dad going out?"

"Well, there are some things to do."

Murong Jin's eyebrows twitched, and before he could jump for joy in his heart, his father's chilly voice came from above his head: "I will hire you a teacher first, and when Dad comes back, I will check your homework. If you don't As you wish, you don't want to race any more."

Murong Jin drooped her brows and eyes in an instant, and replied weakly: "Okay."

There was a new horse in the army, and Zhan Yi picked a horse with a shiny and pure coat and a strong body, and ran happily in the field.After running around and returning to the racecourse, he handed the reins to the horseman with some fondness, and praised: "It is indeed a good horse."

The guard smiled and said, "Vice General Zhan, this horse has just arrived in the army, and it needs to be tamed. Why don't you call the brothers from our battalion to go hunting in the mountains so that you can tame the horse."

Zhan Yi pointed at the guards with the tip of his whip and scolded with a smile: "I think you are greedy."

The guard smiled and said, "It's been a long time since the stomach has been mixed with oil and water. When the soldiers were training, their legs were shaking."

Zhan Yi squinted his eyes and looked at the sky: "It's autumn season, so it's time to exercise your muscles and bones. Pass down the order and tell the brothers to polish their bows and arrows, and then go hunting on horseback."

"Okay!" The guard responded loudly.

In order to ensure the secrecy of Zhan Yi's lurking, Chang Sun Ke seldom contacted him.Therefore, Zhan Yi had no idea that Changsun Ke had arrived in Nanliang, and had even found the Jade Seal of Chuanguo.

His task is to assist the Prince of Nanliang to seize military power, and secretly place his own nails so that the Prince of Nanliang will not kill the donkey.However, judging from the current situation in Nanliang, the day when he can return to his lord's side is not far away.

Thinking about it, I haven't seen an adult for more than three years, and I don't know if his adult is not alone without my company.And his brother, who has always been gloomy, won't become more gloomy without him being by his side to enlighten him.

Zhan Yi bent his bow and set an arrow while thinking about something, and with a 'swish' sound, the arrow flew away from the string of a deer in front of him.

Zhan Yi straightened his body on horseback and looked, but saw that the arrow missed by a point.He sucked his teeth and said, "Why is my mind suddenly messed up today, I lost my head."

He rode forward a little restlessly, searching for the next prey in the forest.

Pingshan is a mountain range on the outskirts of Nanliang, and Zhanyi's military camp is stationed here.Here, it forms horns with Suixue, echoing each other.

At this time, Lao Qiu and Zhan Huang were escorting Chuan Guo Yuxi away from Nanliang, and they were about to walk to the foot of Pingshan Mountain.

Zhan Hong slowed down his horse and walked to the carriage, bowed to the carriage and said, "My lord, it's hot at noon, why don't you rest and go. There is a post station outside Suixue Pass, where we can stay at night. My lord is in good health. I'm still weak, so I shouldn't be in a hurry."

'Changsun Ke' in the carriage hummed lightly.

According to Lao Qiu, Changsun Ke suffered serious internal injuries in order to find Chuan Guo Yuxi, and couldn't bear the bumps of the horses, so he had to go back by car.Zhan Hong didn't have any doubts.

'Changsun Ke' got off the carriage, sat in the shade of a tree and closed his eyes to rest.Zhan Hong consciously went to find a water source nearby.

Lao Qiu glanced at him, then lowered his head to organize the package.

Today's weather is dry and hot, the sun is hot, and there is not even a breath of wind.Lao Qiu also sat down next to 'Changsun Ke' after sorting out the package, seemingly relaxed, but in fact his muscles were tense, and he had already entered a state of defense.

The birds in the forest screamed loudly, a piece of golden leaf fluttered down, Lao Qiu opened his sharp eyes, and with a slight movement of the withered fingers in his sleeve, a hidden weapon flew into the air, and then he heard a scream, a The man in black fell from the opposite tree.

There were rustling sounds from both sides of the official road, and the atmosphere was tense.

Zhan Yi was squatting beside a stream in the forest drinking his horses, when he felt a light reflected from him just now, and his long-term life made him immediately alert.Tie the horse to the tree, raise the sword and chase the place where the light is shining.

Dozens of men in black descended from the sky, aiming for 'Changsun Ke'.Lao Qiu was like a sea god needle, always protecting Changsun Ke's side, and the man in black was not in a hurry, and started a battle with Lao Qiu.

Zhan Hong was watching the battle from the shadows, and saw that Lao Qiu was at a disadvantage.And 'Changsun Ke' sat leaning against the tree with a pale face, as if he couldn't lift half of his strength.

It is now.

Zhan Hong closed his eyes and clenched the sword in his hand.This is the last time, and it's time for this to end.

When he opened his eyes again, the entanglement in his eyes had been replaced by coldness.With a light tap of his toes, he swept towards 'Changsun Ke' like a Yaoyan.The sword tip stopped suddenly when it was only an inch away from the chest of 'Changsun Ke'.A long sword pierced through the chest from the back...

"My lord, are you alright!" Zhan Yi's eager voice came from behind him, and Zhan Hong's eyes widened with disbelief.

It turned out that when Zhan Yi was following him from the forest on the mountain, he encountered an assassination at the foot of the mountain.He saw from a distance that the person under the tree was his family's lord, but in order not to reveal his identity, he couldn't step forward for a while, so he could only wait and see what happened.Unexpectedly, someone sneaked up on him, Zhan Yi was afraid that something would happen to his lord, so he appeared rashly.

'Changsun Ke' was shocked for a moment, and it took a long time before he recovered.He stood up neatly and slowly tore off the mask on his face.

Zhan Yi was stunned on the spot, his eyes moved away from that strange face, and slowly fell on the broad back in front of him.The clothes were stained with blood.

Zhan Yi tremblingly let go of the hilt of his sword, Zhan Hong lost his support, and knelt down on the ground.

Zhan Yi hugged him subconsciously, shaking his lips and said, "Brother, how are you, brother."

Zhan Hong swallowed a few times, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's almost there."

Zhan Yi was at a loss, and cried in panic, "Brother, I don't understand what you're talking about, I'll take you to bandage the wound..."

Zhan Hong shook his head weakly: "It's useless. Death is a kind of relief for me." His eyes were a little lax, and he seemed to think of something again. He widened his eyes suddenly, grabbed Zhan Yi's wrist and said: "Those People, none of them can be let go. And, and, save your mother and come back.”

"Mother?" Zhan Yi said confusedly: "Brother, are you confused? We were orphans when we were young, where did the mother come from?"

Zhan Hong smiled wryly and said: "Without Mother, how could we have us. Mother is always there, and she is in the hands of our true master. From the very beginning, we have been the master's nails in Nanfu. The ancients said that a gentleman does nothing. Lord. Brother is not a gentleman. Brother only accepts mother’s life. But younger brother is different. Brother doesn’t want you to bear these burdens. Do you know that as long as you get back the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, he promises to let mother go. Brother’s mission is completed, brother , I want you to meet her..."

Zhan Yi was like five thunderbolts, tears fell down violently, he shook his head violently: "Brother, you lied to me, right? Zhan Yi doesn't want a mother, Zhan Yi only wants a brother, only an adult."

Zhan Hong grabbed his hand vigorously, and said: "Listen, a gentleman doesn't care about two masters. You choose an adult, and you will follow him for the rest of your life. But, you must save your mother and come back. She has always been thinking about you. You, you too. Don't blame your mother. She has no choice in many things. I don't want you to be alone. With your mother, the family is still there. "

Zhan Hong's hands hang down weakly, but his eyes are still open.

Zhan Yi hugged Zhan Hui and cried bitterly: "Brother! Brother!"
