Dad Wanan

The night was getting darker and darker. The Jinlin Villa, which was once ruined like a tomb for a while, became less desolate because people inhabited it later.

Ding Chang sat on the rock by the pond, which used to be a lotus pond, but now there are only overgrown weeds.There were some people sitting beside him, two men of his own age on the left and right, and a few children in rags.

Although Ding Chang brought a lot of silks and satins, they could not be worn directly as clothes, and had to be sent to a tailor to make clothes.

"Brother Chang." A little girl with braids sipped the candy Ding Chang brought, and said vaguely, "Why are you so late today and haven't returned?"

"Hmm." Ding Chang shrugged without explaining.

Fu Xuan, who was sitting on his left side, looked at him worriedly, "Xiao Chang, is it really okay for you to be like this? Take so many things from that person's house..."

"Yeah, that person looks very difficult to mess with." Liao Qi on his right also agreed, "General, you can tell how many people you've killed when you hear it, and he won't mind killing two or three more of."

"Oh, why don't you bother less?" Ding Chang became a little irritable and pouted.It made him look even younger.He has a baby face, he looks sixteen or seventeen years old, but he is actually nineteen years old, "Didn't he find out what I did? Even if he found out, so what, did he chop off his own "son" with a knife?"

"But Xiao Chang, you also know that you are not..."

"I know, I know, so I've made a plan, I won't go back again. The capital is so big, I can't bump into him just by looking up, right?"

"Aren't you planning to go back?"

"Well, I won't go back."

"Really? That's good too, so as not to have long nights and dreams."

"Yes, yes, so you can let go of my ears, right?" Ding Chang sighed, stood up, and asked Fu Xuan for a jug of wine.

"It's not like you don't drink..." Fu Sui muttered, but still gave the jug to Ding Chang.

Ding Chang walked alone behind a house with a jug in his hand, squatted down in front of a flower bed, and sprinkled the wine into the soil bit by bit.

"Xiaohan, I came to see you." Ding Chang said to the boy buried under the flower bed: "I'm sorry, I'm a few days late. Just a few days ago, I saw him. Haven't you been looking for Is he? Even when he was so sick that he couldn't breathe, he still held tightly to the jade pendant your mother gave you. Although you haven't been able to see him with your own eyes, I can tell you about his situation. You listened, don't be scared!"

He stopped, thinking of the boy he met here by chance, always looking terrified, even someone snoring in the middle of the night could wake him up.It is probably impossible for him not to be frightened by what he will hear next.

"That man, he's amazing, he's a general, and he's the most famous general in the dynasty, Chen Yi. His appearance doesn't disgrace his reputation, he's tall and strong, but his face is unexpected. It's not rough at all, but rather... Uh, I'm sorry, I really don't know how to describe it. In short, you just need to know that he is very good-looking. I can't describe it. No wonder your mother has missed him for so many years. How is it? Are you satisfied now? Your father is a well-deserved hero, although he did not pick up your mother and son in the end..."

Ding Chang pursed his lips, and suddenly poured all the wine in the jug down, as if to vent his anger.

Although he has such a high status, he cruelly ignores a weak woman; he obviously protects the country and the people, but he does not protect his wife and children. As a result, his wife died of illness, and his son also died of illness.Should that man be pitiful or hateful?

Ding Chang felt that he was pitiful and hateful, although he was actually someone who had nothing to do with him.

Yes, he is not that man's son.Only Fu Sui and Liao Qi knew the details of this matter.These two are partners who grew up with Ding Chang. After the flood, the three of them also left their hometown together and came to the capital.As for Ding Chang's details, those two knew best, so they persuaded him like that before.

In addition, these two people also went there with him pretending to be ghosts and scaring people that day. It turned out that they were released the next day, and everyone was released.Only Ding Chang didn't know anything, and only when he came back did he realize that he had been lied to by that person.He didn't know that it was because Shi Xirong didn't want to make things big, and it would be troublesome to reveal his identity, he just thought that person was really weird.

As for, when he was wearing the jade pendant left by Xiaohan, it was because he had promised Xiaohan that he would help him find his father, but he never thought that he would find it.

When he saw the jade pendant torn from that man that night, he almost couldn't believe his eyes.Immediately, he had an idea and recognized that man as his father.It was also forced by the situation at that time. After all, in that situation, if he didn't do that, it would be impossible for the other party to listen to him nagging about those old things.

Pretending to be that person's son, you can just pretend, and it is impossible to expose him suddenly, otherwise you really have a few lives that are not enough to die.So he continued to pretend for several days, until today, he got bored and planned to stop here.

"I'm sorry, Xiaohan, you won't blame me for deceiving your father to be my father for so many days, right?" He smiled, and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, that person's name is Shi Xirong, Shi, Xi , Rong, you must remember, this is your father's name. Your father is a man... like a heavenly general..."

He muttered, visibly in a daze.

Although he rarely met Shi Xirong in the past few days, even if he did, he was always indifferent.Dante often never forgets, maybe he will always remember, that day, when he woke up, he found himself being held by someone, and he stared angrily at the face he saw.

Although there was no expression on that face, and even though the facial features were still indistinct, at that moment, he had the illusion that what was reflected on that face was not the light of fire, but the brilliance emanating from that person himself.

This man doesn't look like a person in the world.Or should I say, this is the person who leads tens of thousands of people?

An indescribable smell, very calm and restrained, but one cannot ignore it.As if standing there, he could take your breath away.

Even Ding Chang, who has always been bold and bold, would unconsciously feel nervous in front of him.

He once hoped to get rid of this tension, but now, when he thinks that he will never face that kind of tension again, he doesn't feel relaxed, instead, he feels a little empty in his heart, as if something is missing.

Could it be that he was pretending to be a fake act, and really regarded that person as a "father"?No no, it's impossible.His father was only one, and he was no longer alive.

Early in the morning, Ding Chang woke up in a commotion.He got up, rubbed his eyes and walked out of the house, but was shocked by what he saw on the spot.

Soldiers, no less than a hundred people, lined up in two rows on the left and right, neat and orderly.With such a battle, it's no wonder that everyone else was dumbfounded.Even Ding Chang was dumbfounded, until he saw a figure on a horse slowly approaching from between the two rows of people and horses, he was really completely dumbfounded.

Those people who usually chatted in the villa were completely silent at this moment, for fear of disturbing anything.

Ding Chang stood there blankly, looking at the man riding his horse in the morning light, as if he was about to descend from the sky, and was about to approach him.

Shi Xirong got off his horse, walked forward, looked him up and down with emotionless eyes, and said, "I'll take you home."

"Pick me up..." Ding Chang's throat choked, "Go home?"

He made a special trip here for this?

"I'll talk to you about your overnight stay without reason." After speaking, Shi Xirong made a gesture, and a carriage behind stopped here.

Ding Chang was finally convinced that he wasn't joking, and he was embarrassed and nervous for a while, shaking his head repeatedly, "No, I can't go back with you, I'm not yours..." Can he be honest?

cannot!Unless he thinks he has an extra head.

And since he couldn't tell the truth, he had no reason to refuse.Shi Xirong obviously didn't intend to ask him for a reason, so he pulled his arm and dragged him towards the carriage.

"Xiao Chang..." Fu Sui and Liao Qi were worried, but they didn't dare to say more, because they also had the same worries as Ding Chang.

Things have come to this, Ding Chang knew there was nothing he could do.He shook his head at the two, sat in the carriage resignedly, and fell headfirst on the seat, somewhat unable to bear such a turning point and such a shock.

That person, in fact, has nothing to do with him, but he used such a battle to welcome him home, it is really embarrassing.At the same time, he was also a little happy.I thought he didn't care about me at all, but it turned out to be just an illusion.

However, so what?All he cares about is the identity of this "son", and this identity is false.

The smile that just appeared on the corner of Ding Chang's lips disappeared immediately, and his mouth puckered in frustration.

Having said that, how did Shi Xirong know to come here to look for him?Could it be that he knew all about his actions these past few days, but pretended not to know anything?

A cloud of hot air rushed to his head, Ding Chang sat up, took the floor as the man's face, and stomped hard.

You, dare, Yin, me?Well, you old fox, you actually, unexpectedly...

Uh, in other words, he knows everything, does this mean that he will die a miserable death?

Domestic thieves are more hated than foreign thieves.

Ding Chang slumped on the seat again.

God, send down a thunderbolt and strike him to death!

Ding Chang originally thought that after he was brought back to the General's Mansion, there would be a lot of cursing.Unexpectedly, the first place he was taken to was the bathing pool.

"Look at you, it's dirty like this after going out for a day." Shi Xirong threw him at several servants who had been waiting outside the bath door.

Not to mention, those servants were also powerful, so they followed Ding Chang in mid-air and carried him into the door.After that, exclamations continued from inside the door.

Those domestic servants, although they looked ordinary, were in fact intimidatingly strong, they were indeed from the General's Mansion.Even though Ding Chang is no longer used to being served by people like this, he also knows that it will be impossible if he is not used to it now.

However, there was one thing Ding Chang really let go of, so he raised his voice and shouted: "Father! Are you still there? Daddy!"

"What's the matter?" Shi Xirong really responded.

In fact, he stayed here because he was worried that those domestic servants would be beaten out by Ding Chang. After all, his first impression was that Ding Chang was a man who could pretend to be a ghost, strip strangers of their clothes, and hang them from trees. wild boy.Fortunately, it turned out that his brutality was no match for the real kung fu of the servants in the general's mansion.

"Father, tell me the truth, are you angry?"

"angry?"

"It's what I did... I know I'm wrong, I'm wrong, I deserve it no matter how much you beat and scold me, but I beg you, don't blame the people in the villa, They didn't do anything, and they didn't dare to offend you..."

"Are you still thinking about those people?" Shi Xirong frowned, his voice became slightly colder, "That's enough, don't think about these anymore. From now on, I forbid you to meet with them again."

"What!?" Ding Chang bared his teeth and claws in the bathtub, "Why!?"

"No reason." Shi Xirong didn't hate those people, nor did he despise the poor, but Ding Chang's status was unusual after all, and it would be bad if he got too close to those people.

They will not adapt to his future transformation, they will criticize him, and he will be affected.

"No, this is not allowed." Ding Chang resolutely protested: "Otherwise, I will ask my father for permission every time I go out in the future, and I will never stay in the villa again... At least let me go back and see them sometimes, this is not okay ?"

"no."

"father!"

"No discussion."

"You... don't you think you are too domineering?" Ding Chang was really anxious. The one in the villa is his best friend in this world. Why does this person say that he won't let him see him? See?

"I've always been like this." Shi Xirong didn't feel it, or rather, he was used to it and no longer thought it was domineering.

"You, you... pissed me off!"

Ding Chang became more and more angry as he spoke, and suddenly got up and rushed towards the door in a hurry, no one had time to stop him.

Shi Xirong turned his head to the side because he heard the movement, and saw Ding Chang standing there naked, his expression changed slightly.

"Ding Chang." He looked away slightly, frowned, and said solemnly, "Are you crazy? What does it look like to run out like this? Go back to the house."

"I don't!" Ding Chang said that he had made love to him, and yelled back, "If you don't give me an explanation, I'll just stand here like this!"

Shi Xirong took a light breath and tried his best to hold back, "I've given you everything, what else do you want to explain?"

"You? Rong Rang?" Ding Chang laughed three times, struggling to shake off the servants who wanted to drag him back into the house.

Perhaps it was the influence of anger, and his strength was astonishingly great at this moment.

"Why didn't I see it at all? I only saw that you were controlling me like a puppy, not allowing me this or that, why don't you just put a chain around my neck!"

"Nonsense!" Shi Xirong had an incredulous expression on his face. For a moment, he really wanted to catch Ding Chang and throw him into the cold water to clear his mind.

"What am I talking nonsense about? Who said just now that I am not allowed to meet my friends again?" Ding Chang was aggressive, "What do you think this kind of behavior is? Is it caring about me? Is it for my own good? Is it because I love my son? "

"How do you know that if I do this, it will be bad for your future? How could I wish you bad, after all..." Shi Xirong paused. Saying, "After all, if you call me 'Daddy', I have the responsibility to teach you well."

"You..." Ding Chang gritted his teeth and shouted recklessly, "Then I don't want you as a father anymore!"

"What did you say?" Shi Xirong was stunned, with a pair of black eyes that never showed emotions, staring fiercely at the brat in front of him who dared to speak such nonsense.

don't want?Hmph, if he could, he wouldn't want this "son" at all!

"I, I said..." Ding Chang's voice plummeted, and the staring gaze was as sharp as a knife, but extremely gloomy, which made people feel frightened.Ding Chang was a little stage frightened, but still refused to admit defeat. He bit the bullet and pushed back: "I said, I don't want such a domineering father, I...I hate such a father."

"you--"

"Oh, what's going on?" Xuanyuanzhao, who stayed overnight in the mansion last night, came out from the corner. He knew that Shi Xirong had gone out before, and he also knew that Shi Xirong had returned.Originally, he planned to come later to join in the fun, but the situation didn't sound like an ordinary one, so he joined in early.

As for his appearance, both of them in the quarrel were taken aback.

Shi Xirong reacted first, tore off the cloak on his shoulders, and wrapped Ding Chang around.Even so, it could only cover a small part of his body, so she hugged him into her arms and used her body to cover other parts that the cloak could not cover.

As for Xuanyuanzhao, he actually didn't expect to join in such excitement.He hesitated for a while, and finally decided to ignore Shi Xirong's murderous gaze and continue to walk forward.

"Hehe, it's true that father and son love each other so tightly, and they still don't wear clothes, hehehe, but Shi Xi, why don't you take it off yourself?" The more he laughed, the more malicious he became.

Shi Xirong gritted his teeth impatiently, "It's none of your business here."

"Tsk tsk, don't be so cold, I'm your friend for more than [-] years!" The implication is: You value sex over friends.

"There is also this son, who has a little bit of relationship with me, doesn't he?" The implication: He is my nephew, I just want to see, what's the matter with you?

"I'll say it again, you get out of here immediately." Shi Xirong didn't have the heart to mess around with him, and his face became more and more cold.

The current situation is so chaotic, Xuanyuanzhao's attitude of watching the show makes him even more displeased, and the brat in his arms seems to be trying to make things difficult for him, and has been wriggling around like a bug, it's really horrible angry.

Speaking of Ding Chang, in fact, he didn't mean it either.Before, he was angry and didn't have so many scruples, but now, his anger has been trampled out by Xuanyuanzhao's episode, and then he was hugged by Shi Xirong like this, and Xuanyuanzhao said that, he really I wish I could dig a hole in the ground and bury myself in it.

He knows that they are not father and son, no!Although it is said that both parties are men, there is no such thing as a relationship between a man and a woman.However, in this era where masculinity prevails, even men need to avoid a little bit of taboo.

In the past, Ding Chang had served tea in a special brothel for a while, and had witnessed too many times a young man flirting with guests.At that time, he didn't think there was anything wrong, but now that the situation was underway, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and his nerves, which had always been carefree, became extremely sensitive for no reason.

"Too ruthless, Shi Xiliufang, how could you treat me like this?" Xuanyuanzhao complained while clutching his chest, and then carefully looked at Shi Xirong's face, knowing that if he continued to make trouble, he would really face disaster, so enough was enough.

"Okay, since I'm not welcome here, I'll just go! When you're done..." He blinked meaningfully, "You can find me in Lanlingyuan!" He rubbed oil on the soles of his feet and withdrew from this place. The land of gunpowder.

And as soon as he left, the gunpowder smoke here also dissipated, leaving only a place of embarrassment.And this embarrassment was finally replaced by helplessness.

Shi Xirong let Ding Chang out of his arms, sighed silently, and said, "What's the matter, we will talk about it later. You go back to the room with them first, and they will take you to see me after the bath."

"Oh!" Ding Chang obediently responded, turned and went back to the room.

Once inside, he jumped into the pool and drowned himself in it.If he didn't, his heart would seem to pop out of his mouth.

He was bored in the water for a long time, and he suddenly thought vaguely that the arms hugging him just now were really hard, like iron, a little scary, but also very reassuring.It seems that those arms can block all the wind and rain in the world.

He suddenly began to envy Xiaohan, he had such a good father, so good...that person, not really his father, it's really great.

After Ding Chang came out of the bath, a servant took him to a garden named Lanling Garden at the junction of the backyard and the east chamber.Lanling is the name of Mrs. Shi.Orchids are the most planted in the garden.

Shi Xirong and Xuanyuanzhao were sitting at the stone table. Seeing Ding Chang coming, they stopped talking and quietly watched Ding Chang come forward.

Then, Shi Xirong said, "Sit."

Ding Chang took a seat opposite the stone table. The two who had been arguing just now were sitting face to face. Although they had their own thoughts, at least they had calmed down.

"Ding Chang." Shi Xirong called out.

"Ah?" Ding Chang's shoulders tensed. Even his voice would make people nervous, plus the impact of the previous incident.

"How you grew up and what kind of life you lived before, I won't ask any more."

Shi Xirong said lightly: "From tomorrow, I will treat you and teach you my way. Are you ready to accept it?"

"I..." Ding Chang's mind was spinning, this kind of question means-"I can also not accept it?"

"Can't."

"No? Then why do you ask?" Teasing people, isn't it?

"Let you be prepared."

"You..." Complaints welled up in his stomach again, but Ding Chang already understood that no matter how much he loses his temper and complains to that person, it's useless, he won't take this kind of trick.He had no choice but to suppress the slander, took a deep breath, and said depressingly: "Okay, I will obey you in everything. How you treat me, teach me, and control me is up to you, and I will never make trouble. But, there is only one thing... Dad, can you discuss it with me, just a little discussion..."

"Huh?" Shi Xirong raised his eyebrows, then guessed what Ding Chang wanted to say, and immediately rejected it: "No discussion."

"You..." Forbearance, he forbearance!Without giving up, he said again: "Father, don't be so authoritarian, okay? I beg you..."

"No need to say much."

"father!"

"You call me 'Daddy', so naturally listen to me."

"I..." My father is not as overbearing and authoritarian as you!

"What are you talking about?" Xuanyuan Zhao, who had been listening quietly all this time, couldn't help interjecting, bumping Shi Xirong's shoulder.

"I don't allow him to see those people in Jinlin Villa again."

"Oh, that's right." Xuanyuanzhao nodded, looked at Ding Chang, and smiled, "Chang'er, don't argue with your father about this matter. His decision is also for your own good, you and those people It's not good for you to come and go too much."

"Benefits?" Ding Chang's eyes flashed, he bit his lips, and said in a low voice: "I have never been with them for any benefit. It's just because they are my most important friends. Dad, you don't understand... I used to When I fell ill in bed, they braved the heavy rain and carried me on the mountain road for a day and night, and took me to see a doctor; Save the food for me. Without them, maybe Chang'er would have passed away long ago. They are affectionate and righteous to me, but I..."

He paused, staring intently into Shi Xirong's eyes, and said clearly, "Father, is this the first lesson you're going to teach me? The first lesson you're teaching me is to be ungrateful for profit." ?”

"..."

Shi Xi looked back at him in shock, unable to speak for a while.Even Xuanyuanzhao, who was always eloquent, was at a loss for words on the spot.

They really thought it was for his own good to cut off Ding Chang's contact with those people.However, life is alive, good or bad, in fact, cannot be unilaterally concluded.

More importantly, his desire to keep his friendship is even more precious than his status as a prince.

"Okay, I agree." Shi Xirong finally gave in. This was the first time in his life that he was forced to give in, but this step he gave in very readily, even happily.

"Really!?" Ding Chang jumped up in surprise, "You didn't lie to me? Are you serious?"

"real."

"That's great... that's great!" Ding Chang was overjoyed, full of joy and didn't know how to express it, he suddenly rushed forward and kissed Shi Xirong on the cheek, "Father, you are the best, Chang'er likes you the most!" After speaking, he turned around in circles, completely happy to become a child.

"Oh, I'm really envious." Xuanyuanzhao had exaggerated envy on his face, and joked in a low voice: "It turns out that dad can kiss casually, so it's not too much for my uncle to ask for a kiss?"

Hearing this, Shi Xirong glared at him immediately, then shook his head helplessly.

I don't know how to feel about that silly boy, although he made his own decision to be his fake father for a while, but at this moment he inexplicably has a strange premonition that it will become more and more difficult to be his father.

Looking at Ding Chang, still circling there, it really makes people worry that he will suddenly turn into a spinning top.

Shi Xirong brought him back to his senses, "Ding Chang, sit down, I still have something to say."

"Oh!" Ding Chang then sat down peacefully, his big eyes stared straight at Shi Xirong, his face was still full of joy.

It seemed that even if Shi Xirong told him to hit the wall next, he would still do it with a silly smile.

Why is this silly boy so innocent?He should be more scheming, so that life in the deep palace will be less difficult.

However, it would be a pity to teach him scheming and intrigue.

Shi Xirong was silent for a moment with complicated emotions, and then said: "I promised you to meet those people, but there are conditions. You can only see them once a month."

"Every month, once?" Ding Chang almost wanted to jump up to protest again, but after thinking about it, he puffed up his cheeks, "It's so little, three times? Or two?"

"This is not a market." Shi Xirong said firmly, "There is no bargaining."

"But……"

"You don't even want that one time, do you?"

"I...Okay, okay, I just accept it." Ding Chang has also learned to be good, knowing that he can't go head-to-head with Shi Xirong, especially when he thinks he is right.

Just one at a time is better than none at all.Anyway, after I get to know him well in the future, it will be much easier to discuss what to say.

After just now, Ding Chang suddenly had a feeling that Shi Xirong had one thing in common with his father: a sharp mouth with a bean curd heart.

Perhaps Shi Xirong's heart is still much harder than tofu, but at least he is not hard-hearted.

"In addition," Shi Xirong said, "every month when you want to see them, tell me, or find the manager Yan in the mansion. He will arrange a carriage and go to the villa to bring them here. You don't want to see them any more. ran to the villa."

"Huh?" Ding Chang wondered, "Why is that?"

"nothing."

"It's not because I'm afraid that you will be abducted." Xuanyuanzhao's words were half true and half false.

"How come?" Ding Chang was puzzled, but not unhappy, "They are my good friends."

"The closest people are the hardest to guard against."

"They won't hurt me."

"I won't hurt you..." Xuanyuanzhao grabbed Shi Xirong's shoulders, winked at Ding Chang, and smiled meaningfully, "Then take it as your father loves his son deeply and is eager to protect him, so plan ahead , overprotective, is this the head office?"

"This, this way..." Although Xuanyuanzhao's joking tone could be heard, Ding Chang's ears blushed for no reason, and he mumbled: "I see, I will listen to Dad's arrangement."

"Chang'er is good." It wasn't Shi Xirong who said this.

"You... who are you?" I met him several times, and Ding Chang didn't think of this question until now.

To say that this person's sense of existence is strong enough, it is clearly about their "father and son", but he is inserting a sentence here and there.

"Me? Haha, I am your emperor..."

"Cough!" Shi Xirong coughed.

"Well, me..." Xuanyuanzhao scratched his head, "I am your elder brother Xuanyuan who can't be found with a lantern, and who can fight together with eight poles."

"..."
