Ye Gui

Tianlu City opened its gates in the morning glow, and the people entered and left the city in an orderly manner, creating a peaceful and busy scene.

A group of more than a dozen black-robed vanguards galloped to the foot of the city. The guards recognized them and shouted, "It's the vanguard of the Xunting army! Open the city gates! The people avoid it! The general is back!"

Pioneer came to clear the way, less than half an hour later, Lei Ting and Lin Yeyang whipped the horse and led the Xun Ting army to appear on the official road, and the common people consciously avoided to make way for this invincible and brave army.

The Xunting army entered the camp ten miles outside the city. The general entered Tianlu City with his adjutants and several generals. The great general did not damage his prestige in the army at all.

Lin Ye rode on the horse and asked, "The general enters the palace immediately?"

Lei Ting snorted coldly: "Hmph! Looking for Qishou so early? Go home first!"

"Come on!" Lin Ye was delighted. If the general was relieved of his military power, he would be the most angry. He has a straight temper. Who is in a hurry!"

Lei Ting laughed loudly, and pointed at him with his horsewhip: "Have you not returned to Tianlu City for a long time, and your heart is wild? Let me fix your mouth. If you want to fart, find a place where no one is around!"

Lin Ye smiled and said: "General, to be serious, I'm free anyway, and I plan to settle the marriage of my two children. You can also take this opportunity to find out for the little general."

Lei Ting said: "Ah Yan's matter is not in a hurry, he is still young."

"Still young? The little general will be 23 after the new year, right? Do you think there is any son in the city who is 23 and hasn't married yet?"

Lin Ye was always told that he didn't care about children, and he listened to it, but no one dared to tell the general directly, so Lei Ting was more ambitious than Lin Ye: "There are two in your family, two in my family, and two in my family. At any rate, you married one, so you still have the nerve to talk about me!"

"..." While speaking, they reached the gate of the General's Mansion, Lin Ye didn't say anything, and jumped off the horse, "Do they know we're coming back today?"

The general behind said: "I know, I have already sent a letter back."

"Where are people!" Lin Ye looked at the empty gate of the General's Mansion and shouted, "Hey! The General is back! Is there no one here to greet you?"

Lei Ting didn't care, and pushed him: "Okay, do you care about this empty courtesy?"

Hearing the sound, the soldiers in the gatehouse ran out and knelt down on one knee: "Forgive me, General! The house is in chaos now, please don't go in, General!"

"Nonsense! Isn't this the General's Mansion anymore? Does the General need your consent if he wants to go back to his own home?" Lin Ye said seriously.

Lei Ting asked: "What's going on?"

There were people coming and going on the street outside the general's mansion, the soldiers dared not hide it, stood up and said in a low voice: "The little general lost his mind after he came back last night, if not for the people in the mansion to stop him, I'm afraid he would run away out……"

Lei Ting walked in quickly, followed by Lin Ye: "What's going on?"

"The subordinates don't know either. Mr. Bai brought him back from the government office. Now that the government office is arguing for him, His Royal Highness King Heng went to deal with him to suppress him."

Lin Ye: "Who else knows about this?"

The general said: "Except for the people in our mansion, King Heng, and the people in the mansion, no one else knows. I have the courage to send a group of people to quietly surround the mansion outside to prevent them from coming out. But the mansion also wants to It won't take long to handle the case."

"The general is back!"

"General!"

Many people surrounded Lei Yan's courtyard on the third and outer floors. Seeing Lei Ting hurried out of the way, Lei Ting pushed the door and went in. On the bed in the room, Hakuin would be tucked up by the horns, stood up and saluted: "General .”

Lei Ting walked over and saw his son lying quietly on the bed, as if he was in a deep sleep: "Master Bai, I heard people in the house say that Ah Yan has lost his mind, what's going on?"

Bai Yin asked Lei Ting to move outside before saying, "Ah Yan is possessed by an evil thing, and I have temporarily suppressed it with my spiritual power." He told Lei Ting about the incident in Anning County, "It should be the evil that is causing trouble in Anning County. things."

"Is there a way to exorcise evil spirits?" Lei Ting asked anxiously, "Will it endanger Ah Yan's life?"

Bai Yin frowned and replied: "Except for humans and demons, there is no such evil thing in Dongzhou Continent. Spiritual power can't see the original appearance of this evil thing. I also tried to purify it with spiritual power just now, but None worked."

He continued: "The general came back just in time, Ah Yan and I..." He knew that Lei Yan was worried that Lei Ting would know the relationship between the two, and that Ah Yan had to confess these things to his father, so he thought about his words and said, "I and Ah Yan is connected by spiritual power, I plan to use my soul to enter Ah Yan's body to investigate, but this method is very dangerous, I need the help of the general, don't let anyone come in to disturb."

"This is easy to handle, Mr. Bai, don't worry, it's just..."

Hakuin knew that Lei Ting was worried about his son's health, and he was worried about himself as an outsider, so he comforted him: "I still have confidence in my technique, please rest assured, General." He paused, looked into Lei Ting's eyes and said seriously , "I will protect Ah Yan's safety with my life."

Lei Ting was taken aback for a moment. It sounded a little strange to say this from Bai Yin. He didn't go into it carefully and said, "I'm not worried about Mr. Bai. Mr. Bai is saving the life of a child. Mr. Lei is very grateful. What do you need? , Lei will be ready!"

The entire General's Mansion closed its doors to thank guests, and Lei Ting ordered people to seal off Lei Yan's yard, so that even a bird could not fly in.

The little general was lying on the bed, frowning and closing his eyes tightly, his thin lips pursed into a line.

When Bai Yin was in the government office, he immediately sealed the evil with spiritual power.But what worried him was that he searched all over his body, but he couldn't find Ah Yan's soul.

The worry in his eyes was even worse, and he was gradually covered by a strong killing intent. If he was swallowed by that evil thing, he raised the corner of his mouth, then he would save Ah Yan's soul, and then kill the evil thing one by one...

He held Lei Yan's left hand with his right hand, and lay side by side beside him, turning his head to look at his sleeping lover, Ah Yan, wait for me, I'll be right there.

The spring of the 18th year of Tianyuan.

The pink crabapple in Hongwen Hall is in full bloom. With a sound of "swish", a round stone penetrated the flower branch, and the delicate and fragile petals fell to the ground.

"Can you do it!" A boy in a light yellow narrow-sleeved brocade gown snatched the slingshot from another boy's hand, and dared not speak out when he was robbed.

The boy in the yellow shirt snatched another huge garnet from him, put it on the slingshot, and hit the bird's nest among the branches. The gemstones used by this group of dudes to hit the bird's nest are quite ordinary. The life of the common people for one year.

The crystal clear gem flew past the bird's nest and shattered when it hit the wall.

"Just a little bit!" The other teenagers gathered around and said regretfully, "The second prince is so accurate! If you do it again, you will definitely be able to beat him!"

"Bring it!" The other teenagers handed over the gems in their hands one after another.

"Stop hitting, the bird is still inside." The childish voice came, the second prince Si Weiyang looked over, he was a child he had never seen before.

"who are you?"

"What does it have to do with you! Little brat! Get out of here!"

"Yo, you look so good-looking! Boys and girls?"

Si Weiyang walked over, the child in front of him was about six or seven years old, wearing a black robe, his face was like snow, red lips and white teeth, he had never seen such a beautiful child, he should be a boy, no matter how beautiful he was useless.He asked, "What did you say? Do you know who I am?"

The little boy shook his head: "I don't know who you are, but it's wrong for you to hurt birds! My mother said that these birds and beasts are also life, if they are for survival, they can be killed, but if they are for fun, they should not despise life!"

Si Weiyang is used to being domineering at ordinary times, everyone respects him, even the Taifu dare not trouble him easily, such a villain who is not as tall as his chest, dares to challenge him!

A young man of twelve or thirty next to him pushed the boy: "Bold! This is the second prince! Who are you! How dare you teach the second prince a lesson!"

Although the boy was small, he didn't push after a push, and stared at him with disdain. The boy couldn't help but wanted to push.

Si Weiyang stopped him, and asked patiently: "What's your name?"

The boy raised his chin and said: "My name is Lei Yan, and Lei Ting is my father!"

Si Weiyang came to a realization: "It turned out to be the son of the great general. Is Mr. Lei the first day of school today? The Tai Tuo hasn't come yet, how about I introduce you to the Hongwen Museum?"

Lei Yan nodded, thinking that this person should not be a bad person, he said: "Okay, but don't bully Xiaoniao again."

The cruelty in Si Weiyang's eyes flashed past, and he said with a smile on the surface: "Okay, listen to you, let's go, let's go to the study." He winked at a few teenagers, and everyone else would smile heartily. Several people surrounded Xiao Leiyan and walked towards the study.

It was still early, and they came early just to hunt for bird nests. The Taifu and several bachelors did not arrive.

"This is the place where classes are held on weekdays. Mr. Lei, go in and have a look?"

Lei Yan didn't doubt that he was there, and walked in.The bright spring sun has not yet shone into the study, and the room is not lit, so it is a bit dark.He was pushed hard from behind, staggered to hold on to the desk, turned around and glared: "What are you doing!"

The two teenagers stayed outside the door, while the others came in and closed the door.

"What are you doing? Mr. Lei has such a temper! When you come up, you will teach me a lesson!" The second prince, Si Weiyang, was named king a few years ago, but he is still young and still studying in the imperial city.He stretched out his hand to grab Lei Yan's neckline, and stared at him condescendingly: "I'll let you know what the difference is!"

Lei Yan grabbed his wrist, and he suddenly felt like his wrist was about to be crushed, grinning his teeth and shouting: "Let... let me go!"

Lei Yan said: "I know there is a difference between superiority and inferiority, but don't bully others too much!"

The other teenagers are also relatives of the emperor and the children of high-ranking officials. When it comes to fighting, they know how they can beat the son of the general Zhen Guo's family!What's more, the other party is still a disciple of the national teacher, so if Bao Qi can do some magic tricks...

No one dared to step forward, Si Weiyang shouted: "Come up and beat him to death! An Zhilu! Gao Meng! You are all dead! If you don't help me, I will let my father kill your father! Execute the Nine Clans!"

A group of dandy boys took advantage of the large number of people and became more courageous. They rushed forward, kicking their stomachs, punching their faces, and kicking their legs.Lei Yan was able to parry at first, but he was from an aristocratic family, and he had learned martial arts to some extent. The youngest was four or five years older than him. He was surrounded by more than a dozen people, but he was quickly restrained. Arms pressed to the ground.

Si Weiyang turned her aching wrist: "Hmph! You know who is the master! Don't think that you can play wild in the imperial city because your father has made great military achievements, this world still belongs to our Si family!"

He saw the blood red at the corner of Lei Yan's mouth, and suddenly said with a sinister smile: "You are so beautiful, are you a boy or a girl? You guys, take his clothes off for me! I want to see if he has that thing!"

Lei Yan's eyes widened: "I'm a man!! You guys! Don't touch me!!" He frantically broke free from the restraints, and the two of them were thrown to the ground by him, and the others rushed forward and pressed him to the ground.

"Let go of me! Let go of me! You bastards!" The small body was pressed down on the cold ground, and even with his little strength, he couldn't hold back these half-sized men, so anxious that tears came out.

"Look, I'm crying! She even said that she's not a girl! I took it off! I took off my pants! It must be a woman disguised as a man!" Si Weiyang shouted.

"Teacher is here!!" Someone outside the door suddenly shouted.

Si Weiyang was startled, no matter what, if the father found out about bullying the general's son in Hongwen Hall, he would definitely punish him: "It's over, it's over, run!"

He ran out first, and the others followed, leaving only Lei Yan sitting on the ground with his head bowed and his clothes ragged.

Si Weiheng waited until they were far away before coming in: "Are you okay?" He had actually been watching outside for a long time, and the second brother usually didn't like him, so he didn't dare to come in.

He knew that the boy was the son of the great general, so he yelled outside the door. He didn't have such a simple mind, he just thought that if he helped him this favor, he might be able to win him over in the future.

Lei Yan raised his head and looked at him indifferently. The bright red on his lips and the tears at the corners of his eyes made people unable to move his eyes away. He stood up, put on his robe, and said lightly: "I'm fine, thank you." After speaking, he walked out.

Si Weiheng let out a heavy breath when he walked out, and his heart was about to jump out.

Lei Yan didn't tell anyone about this, and he didn't stop coming to the Hongwen Library because of this. He changed his face and still came to study every day. Everyone of these dudes was sacked and dragged away on the way home. They knew who it was, but they didn't dare to say anything.

After that, they didn't dare to bully Lei Yan anymore, and they didn't even dare to talk to him.

Lei Yan thought about these old things. Although he didn't show anything on the surface, it still had a great impact on him. He even hated himself for having such a face. After returning home for a long time, he was depressed, until Later, I went to Yanming City with Lei Ting.

He seems to have returned to the year when he was six years old. Among the begonia petals flying all over the sky, under his stubborn appearance, there is a fragile and sensitive heart hidden.

He shrinks himself to a small size, he doesn't want people to see him, he won't laugh at him if he can't see him, and he won't bully him if he can't see him.

He thought with some self-mockery, why do I think of these things...

"Ah Yan...Ah Yan..."

Someone is looking for him, is it Brother Wu?Or Lin Tong?

He slowly opened his eyes, and the darkness spread quickly, and it was about to swallow him up too.He guarded the light that could only accommodate his body, and raised his head to look in the direction of the voice.

Someone stepped on the darkness and walked over. Every step he stepped on, the darkness shrank back as if frightened, and every step of the light, like ripples, slowly faded away.

Lei Yan stared blankly at this scene, and suddenly thought of the legend about the gods that the Taifu told him the day he first entered school.

The god came through the darkness, and the lotus was born every step of the way.
