Mei approached Su Che and whispered: "Master Hou, you have lost your status by living with me, you are the master! Besides, if you live with me, Fifth Young Master will live with Xing's guards, how can this be possible!"

Wu Zao thought to himself that his family's Lord Hou has always been amazing and talented, how can he be confused now!

"It's okay, I'll share a room with Xiao Wang's bodyguard." Xing Yuan smiled and didn't feel disgusted at all.

Hearing these words, Meng Wansheng was not happy, he frowned, "Why, does Lord Hou hate my fifth younger brother?"

Su Che lowered his eyes and ignored him, and dragged Xing Yuan into the room without saying anything.

"Hey! Master Hou, don't you want to share a room with Wu Zao?" Meng Wansheng shouted from behind.Su Che still ignored him, Meng Wansheng went back to the room resentfully.

In another room, Meng Wansheng lit a candle and put down his luggage. Xiao Qi was still holding his sword, sitting on the stool facing the door with a dignified appearance.

"Master Xiaoqi, let's go to the night market in Nanbian City?"

"Will the fifth son go?"

"We can't let Wan Xing know that the cold-faced guy who lives with him is very rigid. If he knows, no one will be able to go!"

"Don't go!" My duty here is to protect the Fifth Young Master. "Xiao Qi continued to hold the sword and close his eyes to rest his mind. As a bug who has lived in seclusion with his master for a thousand years on a remote spiritual mountain, novelty things in the world can always attract him. In Meng Wansheng's night market, there is Xiaoqi's heart was completely shaken after seeing countless novelties from the Southern Dynasty that he had never seen before in Huicheng.

"I'm worried about Meng Wanxing, his skill is too bad!" Xiao Qi frowned and felt embarrassed.

"Ham, don't worry about Evening Star, don't you still have Su Che? The title of Master Hou is not an embroidered pillow. Besides, don't you have guards?"

Xiao Qi thought for a while, and finally nodded.The two changed their outfits and walked out of the inn door towards the night market.Not long after they left, Su Che also left the inn and disappeared into the night.

After running around for days, he couldn't take a good bath. After dinner, Xing Yuan called the inn boy to prepare the wooden bucket and hot water.He took off his white robe, took off his jade crown and loosened his long black hair. The water vapor above the wooden barrel, he immersed himself in the water with only his white shoulders and head exposed. The warmth of the water washed away his exhaustion.After a while, it rained heavily outside the door, and Xing Yuan lazily leaned on the wooden barrel to listen to the sound of rain outside the window.

"Squeak", the door opened.

"Who?" Xing Yuan forgot to lock the door just now, and turned his head to look at the door in surprise.

Su Che's clean, indifferent and somewhat stern face appeared in front of his eyes, his wet clothes were still dripping with water, and he was holding a food box tightly wrapped by his outer robe in his hand.

Su Che saw that Xingyuan's long black hair was hanging loose, water drops dripped from his shoulders, and he stood there with a blushing behind his ears, his heart pounding in his chest.

Seeing that it was Su Che Xingyuan heaved a sigh of relief, and seeing that he was drenched in the rain, he said, "Brother Su, your clothes are soaked through, come in and take a bath together!"

What?Take a bath together!Su Che's mind flashed Xingyuan's skin and waist that were more delicate than ordinary men, and his face turned red when he brushed it, but fortunately, he couldn't see clearly at night when the lights were dim.

He faltered and said: "I...you...you wash first!" Then he closed the door, turned and fled.He was afraid that Xing Yuan would call him behind his back, and his strange feelings for him would be discovered.

After a while, he appeared at the door again with the food box in his hand. He had already held the outer robe wrapped in the food box. It was obvious that he had just opened the food box and checked it. There were no water drops on his clothes and they were still damp. of.

"Meng Wanxing, have you washed yet?" He knocked on the door and asked.

"Okay, okay." Xing Yuan opened the door and smiled at Su Che. He had already put on his clothes, a moon-white robe, and a head of wet long black hair hanging down to his waist.

Su Che handed the food box in his hand to Xing Yuan with a usual indifferent expression: "It's for you."

"what?"

"See for yourself!"

Xing Yuan took the food box and opened the lid. The pastry inside looked soft and delicious because it was wrapped by Su Che's clothes when it arrived, and it was not damped by the rain or water at all.

"Liuxinsu made by Meixinfang! Did you get caught in the rain when you went to buy it?" He was bored on the road, and he mentioned to Su Che about the food wonders in the southern city that his elder brother said.What he loves most is the Liuxin crisps that his elder brother brings him every time he goes home.Su Che didn't talk much, he hummed a few times casually, unexpectedly he still remembered whose family he was talking about, Xing Yuan felt warm in his heart.

"No, passing by, I bought it by the way." If he admitted that he got caught in the rain to buy pastries, it would be like asking Wan Xing to accept his favor, so he denied it.

"Brother Su, that's interesting!" Xing Yuan put the food box on the table, and after Su Che closed the door, he said again: "Brother Su, I just asked the boy to change the hot water, quickly take off the wet clothes and take a hot bath , or the wind and cold will worsen! As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to pull Su Che's lapel. Su Che dodged in a hurry, and after pulling Su Che's lapel just now, the two sinuous and hideous knife scars on Dachang's chest were reflected in Xingyuan Eyelid, the scar reminded him of the scar on the back of his elder brother who guarded the south all the year round, and he couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic.

"This is?"

"It's inevitable that you will be injured in battle!" Su Che rearranged his clothes.

"Hey, why are you getting dressed again? Take it off and go take a shower!"

The clothes on his body were soaked and stuck to his body, making them very uncomfortable, but he couldn't take them off in front of him, Su Che said, "You... get out!"

Only then did Xing Yuan think of something and smiled awkwardly: "I'm going out now..." After leaving the room, Xing Yuan murmured secretly in his heart: Tangtang Yu'an is too embarrassed to take a bath!Like a girl, aren't they all big men?

Hai time.

Sitting at the table, Xing Yuan took out a piece of puff pastry from the food box, took a bite and said, "Su Che, do you want to try a piece?"

"I don't eat sweets." Su Che wiped the freshly washed long black hair with a towel.

"That's great, all the food boxes are mine." Hearing Xing Yuan's childish words, a very shallow smile appeared on his plain face.Xing Yuan just ate his snacks and didn't notice the fleeting expression on Su Che's face.

"Su Che, I ate your snacks. As a thank you, you sleep on the bed today, and I'll make the floor." In addition to thanking, Xing Yuan saw that the ground of Su Che's raining inn was cold today, and he was afraid that the wind and cold in the past few days would worsen.

What Su Che thought in his heart was different from him: I really want to be thankful that it would be better to sleep together!

"Well, then I'll sleep on the bed!" The last sentence, if you don't mind, you can sleep on the bed together without further words.He thought he must mind.

Xing Yuan thought: What?This person didn't know how to be humble, it was really cold and hard to sleep on the floor.Can't we sleep together in bed?Does this person have a cleanliness habit? He obviously just took a shower, okay?

Xing Yuan, who slept on the ground that night, ate Liuxinsu and slept contentedly.Su Che who was sleeping on the bed couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

☆, past events (5)

The sun slowly crept across the horizon the next day.Xing Yuan was startled when he woke up, Su Che fell asleep beside him at some point, with an arm around his waist.

Even after a good night's sleep, I rolled out of bed honestly!Xingyuan took his hand away and was about to get up.

Hearing the movement, Su Che frowned, and then woke up quietly, opened his eyes, and a pair of radiant pupils were close in front of him.He thought to himself: This is not a dream!Su Che sat up and softened his eyes.

"Su Che, Yu Anhou?" Seeing Su Che waking up, Xing Yuan shouted.

"Huh?" So it wasn't a dream, the person in front of me was indeed Meng Wanxing.

"Marquis Yu'an, you're rolling while sleeping!" Xing Yuan smiled and got up, softened his somewhat messy hair, and stretched himself.

Su Che glanced around and found that he was sleeping on Xingyuan's floor. He remembered that he had been tossing and turning last night and couldn't fall asleep, and he didn't fall asleep until the middle of the night.It turned out that he rolled beside him, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but his face remained the same as usual.

Xing Yuan pointed to Su Che's brocade quilt embroidered with twining lotuses again, with a laziness of just getting out of bed: "You also took my quilt away."

"Ah, ah, ah." The temperature difference between day and night in the southern city was huge, and he sneezed after half the night.

Su Che lowered his eyes and saw the entire quilt on his body, and felt ashamed. He apologized and blurted out, "Next time you will steal mine."

Xingyuan: ...

A steady male voice sounded outside the door: "Master Hou, son? Are you up yet?"

Wu Zao? "What's the matter?" The two asked at the same time.

"The lobby is already ready for breakfast, the two masters can wash up and come down. The luggage has also been packed, and we can leave after eating."

"Okay, got it. Ask the kitchen to prepare another bowl of ginger soup." Hearing Xing Yuan sneeze, Su Che ordered

"Yes." Wu Zao responded and went downstairs to the kitchen.

"It's time to drink a bowl of ginger soup, you were caught in the rain yesterday." Sneezing, sneezing, Xing Yuan sneezed again.

"Soup for you!" The words that should have been caring were said indifferently by him, just like polite words when meeting a distant relative who is too far away to know his name.

Su Che has always been like this, Xing Yuan didn't care.After he turned to the screen and finished washing, he sat in front of the bronze mirror and tied up his waist-long hair and put on a jade crown.Seeing Su Che looking at him in the bronze mirror, Xing Yuan turned his head away, Su Che was standing beside the hanger wearing a robe.He thought it was probably an illusion!

After washing and tidying up, the two went downstairs to the hall to have breakfast, Wu Zao and the guards were already waiting in the hall, Meng Wansheng and Xiao Qi hadn't come down yet.

Su Che asked, "Where are the two of them?"

Wu Zao: I called, and I should be here right away. "

On the stairs, Meng Wansheng squinted his sleepy eyes and yawned. Xiao Qi was carrying a package behind him, very disdainful, "Why are you empty-handed, I will carry the package and give it to you!" He threw the package to Meng Wansheng and walked quickly Going down the stairs and sitting next to Xing Yuan, Meng Wansheng took the package and jumped down the stairs.

After breakfast, Wu Zao received a small knife engraved with exotic patterns, Xing Yuan and Su Che each received a brocade box.

Xing Yuan received a lot of presents from Meng Wansheng when he was a child, knowing that he would always send some weird things, Xing Yuan looked at the sandalwood brocade box and was about to open it.

Meng Wansheng warned: "Open the car after you get in it"

Su Che: "What are you doing mysteriously!"

After everything was settled, the team drove to the military camp on the southern outskirts of the city. On the carriage, Xing Yuan opened the brocade box, and inside it was a silver armband of the southern country worn by a woman, engraved with patterns of seven-color flowers of the southern country.He remembered Meng Wansheng's catchphrase "It would be nice if you were a younger sister", raised his eyebrows and helplessly put the lid on the box and threw it aside.

When he raised his head again, he met Su Che's cold and angry eyes, and Xing Yuan caught a glimpse of an image of a man and a woman overlapping each other on the page of the book, an erotic picture, fourth brother, this is a tiger plucking hair from its head!

Su Che closed the book with a "snap", gritted his teeth, opened the curtain of the car and threw it at Meng Wansheng who was riding a horse in front.Meng Wansheng was humming a little song leisurely and leisurely, when she noticed a strong wind coming from behind, she quickly dodged to dodge, Su Che had a lot of internal energy, was swept away by the wind brought by the book, if it wasn't for being supported by Xiao Qi beside her , will definitely fall off the horse and roll all over the ground looking for teeth.

Meng Wansheng sat firmly on the horse, looked back at Su Che who was holding the sword and glaring at him angrily, and said, "Why did Lord Hou throw away the book I gave you? It's not in the right taste? Next time, give Master Hou another book. Hahaha Ha ha……

How could he, the dignified Marquis of Yu'an, have ever been insulted like this, "choked" and drew out his long sword, Su Che clenched the hilt of the sword and raised the curtain of the car, about to fight Meng Wansheng, "Shameless!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xing Yuan grasped Su Che's empty hand and showed a smiling face, "Master Hou, calm down, I will apologize for the fourth brother, and let the elder brother teach him when we get to the barracks!" Yu'an Hou made another beam.If you really want to fight, can you fight?Then he said to Meng Wansheng who was on the horse in front: "Fourth brother, please stop talking!"

The warmth of Xingyuan's palm came from his hand, Su Che trembled and his heart beat a few beats faster, and the anger just disappeared in an instant, leaving only embarrassment.On the surface, he remained expressionless, put the long sword back into its sheath, cast a sharp glance at Meng Wanxing, and sat back in the car.

Xiao Qi and Meng Wansheng walked side by side, and stretched out their feet to kick Meng Wansheng's calf.

"Ouch!" Meng Wansheng screamed when he was kicked unexpectedly.

"Master Xiaoqi, why did you kick me!"

Xiao Qi rolled his eyes at him and said: "You are very noisy. Go your way!"

The three of Su Che and the others came to patrol the border on behalf of the emperor, and Meng Wanxiao dared not neglect to wait at the gate of the camp with the welcoming team early in the morning.After waiting for a long time, there was still no one on the official road from a distance. Suddenly, a flash of sword light flashed in front of him. Meng Wanxiao turned sideways to avoid it, and at the same time drew out the saber from his waist and turned to meet it.Two people, you will attack with one sword and one sword.

Meng Wansheng withdrew his sword and said happily: "Brother"

Meng Wanxiao showed approval: "Good boy, I haven't seen you improve a lot in a few years!"

"Of course!" Meng Wansheng was a little proud.

"We two brothers will have a hearty fight in a while! Why are you, Su Che and Wan Xing alone?"

"It's still in the back. I took a small road and came faster." The voice fell on the avenue. A group of people drove up, and the two put their swords into their sheaths.

"Master, welcome the visiting envoys!" Meng Wan and Xiao Chao bowed to the carriage parked in front of them.

Su Che lifted the curtain and got out of the car.His wide sleeves were bulging by the strong wind from the south, his hair fluttered and he cupped his hands towards the tall and heroic young man in front of him: "General Xiao, you don't need to be polite."

"Brother!" Xing Yuan poked his head out of the car with a smile on his face.

"Come down quickly, let big brother take a look!"

Xing Yuan jumped off the carriage, his clothes fluttering in the wind.

"Grow taller, more handsome, why are you still so thin! Are you still picky eaters?"

"No way, it's because my father won't let me eat, I'm so hungry!"

Meng Wanxiao glanced at her lips: "Nonsense, who doesn't know that father loves you the most. You can't be picky when you come to me. I have to feed you fat so that dad can praise me"

Meng Wansheng interjected, "Brother, prepare more onions and carrots."

Xing Yuan's least favorite food is onions and carrots. He approached Meng Wansheng and whispered, "Fourth brother, do you want me to make a report?"

Meng Wanxiao heard it clearly: "What small report, what trouble did you get into, Wan Sheng?"

"No...no!"

The Meng family brothers chatted lively, Xiao Qi got off the horse and folded his hands in front of his chest to see how long they chatted about homework.Su Che stood aside with a cold face.

Wu Zao couldn't help shivering as the wind from the south was always blowing bitterly. His master Hou's complexion seemed to be unwell, Wu Zao came to Jiling and covered his mouth and pretended to cough.

"Cough cough..."

Only then did Meng Wanxiao recover from the joy of the brothers' reunion, and he forgot the important person who came to patrol the border instead of the emperor, and said with a little embarrassment: "Master Hou, please, the soldiers have already finished their leisure and are waiting for the envoys." Please see!"

☆, past events (6)

Meng Wanxiao ordered someone to arrange the tents for the patrol envoys, and accompanied Su Che and the other three to visit the soldiers who were practicing.All the soldiers were high-spirited and heroic.

Su Che recalled the days when he was guarding the border of Chen State. The extreme cold and heavy snow never melted in winter. The soldiers had chilblains on their feet and hands when they practiced in the ice and snow.He stood in the heavy snow and looked at the vast expanse of whiteness in the distance. He could not see the way he came from, but he could not see the way back...

"Brother, how is the battle going?" Xing Yuan asked as he touched his chin thinking that he was here to patrol the border.

Meng Wansheng: "Yes, big brother, is Nan Guo still honest recently?

Meng Wanxiao replied with a smile: "Fortunately, they are in the truce period and they are recuperating recently, and there is no movement in the southern country.

Su Che pulled his thoughts out of his memory and listened to Meng Wanxiao talk about the general situation of the war in the past.

It was spring at this time, the city in the south was warm and sunny, and the grass was growing and warblers were flying.In the past few days, they visited the infantry battalion and the arsenal, and learned about some military records in previous years, as well as the storage of food and grass.On the third day, all the procedures were completed, and the three decided to return to Huicheng early tomorrow morning to return to their orders.In the evening of the same day, General Meng held a banquet with the camp for the patrolling envoys to practice.

The banquet was full of excitement, clinking glasses, laughter, rough talking and polite voices.Meng Wansheng was politely accepting a toast from the generals, clerks, general soldiers, and thousands of households.

Sitting opposite, Su Che glanced at Xing Yuanfu from the corner of his eye and lowered his eyes again, the moonlight was shining like water, shining on Xing Yuan's thick eyelashes.He recalled the dream last night, in the dream the man was standing at the bow of the boat with a gold-thread folding fan in his hand, his clothes were elegant and luxurious.The boat sailed slowly into the depths of the lotus root, and he was delighted to stand by his side.In the blink of an eye, the man suddenly disappeared.

Singing sounds came from outside the camp, and Xing Yuan listened to the soldiers singing hometown songs, beating the beat to the sound of the pipa.The eldest brother has been stationed at the border for many years, and the days when he goes home to visit his relatives are numbered.I don't know when I will see you again tomorrow, and I can't help but feel sad.

"Evening star?"

"Big brother!"

Meng Wanxiao walked to Xingyuan's seat, took out a clear and light jasper bracelet and said: "This is a gift I bought for my mother. I heard that ancient jade in the south often carries it to nourish Qi and soothe the nerves. Give it to my mother for me. As the eldest son, I can no longer be filial in front of her, my son is ashamed!" Said the filial piety of the eight-foot man, and the eyes of the man were red.

"You guys take good care of my parents for me!"

"Yes, big brother, I must be filial to my parents!" Xing Yuan kicked the jade bracelet in his arms and said solemnly.

Meng Wanxiao patted him on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "Good star! He has grown up."

Sitting next to Xing Yuan, Meng Wanxiao lowered her eyes and drank the pain of being away from home for many years.Eight thousand miles away, cloud and moon, where is the date of return.

A soldier ran in quickly and clasped his fists in front of Meng Wanxiao, saying, "General, there is an urgent letter from Huicheng!"

Xing Yuan was startled, thinking that the urgent letter from Huizhou could be something at home?

Meng Wanxiao took the letter and waved for the soldiers to retreat.He was apprehensive, opened the letter and finished reading it, his face turned pale instantly.

He clenched his left hand tightly, nail clippers pierced into the flesh and said in a hoarse voice: "The letter said that my father was imprisoned in the clan's mansion for the crime of colluding with the sixth prince for treason!"

Xing Yuan hurriedly took the letter out of Meng Wanxiao's hand to have a look, and suddenly a thunderbolt exploded in his heart.

"It's indeed the second brother's handwriting!"

Meng Wansheng saw that the expressions of the two were not right and walked over: "Brother, what's the matter, what did the letter say?" Xing Yuan silently handed him the paper in his hand.

Meng Wansheng finished watching: "Heh, King Rui, who has never participated in political affairs, would rebel. This is simply absurd!"

When the generals heard Meng Wansheng's words, their eyes widened. They were shocked at first, then showed concern, and said in a hurry: "I don't believe it, someone must be framed."

"General!"

"If the general is going to rescue Prince Rui, let's all go to Huizhou together to seek justice for the prince!"

"General, we will die!"

Meng Wansheng was silent as if he was thinking about countermeasures. He sighed and said, "Prepare your horses and rush to Huizhou immediately. You stay here to guard and don't act rashly!"

"This...you will be punished if you leave the station without being recalled..."

"If the general really has a villain behind his back, the general's safety..."

"Yes, General, I am with you. It is the duty of the last general to protect the general."

"General, we are with you!"

Meng Wansheng stepped out of the camp with firm steps, he was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and a warm current surged in his heart.

He stopped, turned around, cupped his fists and bowed to all the soldiers, "Thank you brothers, this sentence from you is enough, the situation in the frontier is unstable now, you stay and guard!"

"But…"

"This is an order!"

The military order was like a mountain, and the camp became quiet in an instant, and the eyes of everyone in the camp seemed to be filled with unbearable and unwillingness.

"Report..." The voice was high-pitched and eager, which inflicted another serious injury on Meng Wanxiao!

"General, the front guards are here to report that the southern army is coming!"

Meng Wanxiao closed her eyes and took a deep breath, "Assemble the army immediately and prepare for battle!"

Encountering an enemy attack suddenly, the soldiers in the battalion couldn't think about Prince Rui anymore, so they ran out of the tent in a panic to deliver orders and prepare to fight.

After everyone left, Meng Wanxiao turned around and said to Xing Yuan and Meng Wansheng: "You should hurry back to Huizhou immediately, and you must find out the reason and clear your father of the crime."

Meng Wanxiao's eyes were scarlet, and the veins in her clenched fist were bulging.

Xing Yuan was silent, not daring to look into Meng Wansheng's eyes, the eldest brother had made a choice between family affection and the country, he could only choose this way!

Seeing that the fourth and fifth younger brothers were silent and no one answered, Meng Wanxiao said, "Be obedient! Big brother will go back after this battle."

Meng Wansheng's eyes were flushed and he said: "Okay, let's go right away, brother, you will come back after this fight, let's not do this job, whoever likes to be the general will go!"

Meng Wanxiao replied heavily: "Okay!"

Su Che lowered his eyes and raised them again, his eyes were stern and determined: "General Meng, you go back to Huizhou, I will fight this battle for you!"

If his guess is correct, Yongjing wants to get rid of all the people who might hinder him from securing a stable position, and he, Su Che, will be next!General Meng has the military power in his hands, and using this as a bargaining chip may save King Rui. He wants to help Wan Xing, even if he may lose his life in the war.

Meng Wanxiao looked at Su Che, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes and then dimmed. He sighed and said, "I can't go. No one knows the situation of the southern army and the terrain here better than me!"

If the father is framed by a villain, the purpose of that person may not only be the father, he said to Su Che with a hint of pleading in his tone: "Please bring them back to Huicheng safely, I will be there soon!"

Su Che knew that General Meng said the same thing, so he had no choice but to respond: "Okay, I will definitely protect them."

Xing Yuan was already very anxious, wishing he could go back to Huicheng immediately to save his father.By the way, Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi can use teleportation!You can go to Huizhou soon.He glanced around in the tent, and found someone sleeping soundly on the table in the corner.

He quickly walked up to him and called him: "Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi!"

Xiaoqi didn't wake up and was still asleep.Xing Yuan raised his forehead and frowned.At this time, how much did he drink?Another few days of sleep!

Xing Yuan was annoyed that he allowed him to drink, and was angry that he was wrong by drinking.He picked up the teapot on the table and opened the lid, poured the remaining tea on his face and cursed: "Bastard!"

Xiaoqi's face was dripping with water, but he still breathed evenly and slept peacefully.Xing Yuan suddenly felt that he had scolded him like this before. Since Xiao Qi appeared in front of him and said to repay his kindness, Xing Yuan has always treated him with gratitude and courtesy. When did he scold him?He can't remember.

Meng Wansheng asked: "Master Xiao Qi is not sober yet?" He seemed to ask himself and answered: Yes, he sleeps for a long time when he is drunk. "

At this time, Su Che and the guards brought the carriage and horses over, and the soldiers had already assembled.

Meng Wanxiao took the helmet from the guard and put it on his head heavily, revealing a vicissitudes and tough face.His eyes flicked over Xingyuan and Meng Wansheng and stopped on Su Che, he stretched out his hand without warning and patted Su Che's shoulder and whispered: "Thank you, Su Che!" Then he strode towards the assembled The army walked, with sonorous steps.

Maybe Meng Wanxiao saw his feelings, maybe she didn't.But at this moment, he put all his trust in Su Che.

Xing Yuan grabbed Xiao Qi by the collar and dragged him up, threw him to the guards and said, "Drag him into the carriage." After saying that, he also got into the carriage.

Su Che, Meng Wansheng and two jumped on their horses and the group galloped towards Huicheng, with dust flying behind them.

☆、Old Dreams (7)

Inside the Great Prison of the Zongfu in Huicheng, Kyoto.

The Zongfu Prison is a prison specially used to detain the royal family members.Meng Wanxi was dressed in court clothes, with her hands covered in her sleeves, standing outside the gate of the Zong Prison. The entourage next to him showed the waist badge of a third-rank officer, and the gate guard hurriedly opened the gate and said, "My lord, please!"

"You wait here!" After Meng Wanxi ordered her followers, she looked at the plaque hanging on the gate and walked in.Walking to the depths of the prison, I saw the sixth prince sitting on the straw bed in the cell with disheveled temple hair and earthy face.The proud son of heaven fell to the ground like an ant.

Seeing Meng Wanxi, the third prince hurriedly stood up and grabbed the iron gate and shouted: "Wanxi, are you here to save me and your father? I have been wronged! Give me a hundred courage and I will not rebel! Help me with Sixth brother, no, tell the emperor!"

"Hello, Meng Wanxi!"

Meng Wanxi ignored him, without raising her eyelids, she walked through the Sixth Prince's cell and went deeper.A middle-aged man with a round face and slightly chubby sitting in the depths of a dimly lit cell.

"Father, is it comfortable to live in the cell? Do you want to ask someone to add some quilts." Meng Wanxi stood outside the iron railing of the cell with her hands down and looked directly at the prisoner.

King Rui raised his eyes to meet those Danfeng eyes, and for a moment he felt that those eyes were shining with hatred, he thought it was his own illusion.

"No, it's been warm spring for the past few days. Being a father is very good. Don't worry about your mother and concubine. You can go back when the matter is found out as a father." In this calamity, he only hopes that his family will be safe.

"Yes, father." Meng Wanxi looked deeply, and said again: "I have been in prison for a long time, today my son came to chat with you." Meng Wansheng signaled the jailer to open the cell door.

King Rui felt that today's third child was different from usual: "Third child, today you..."

Meng Wansheng walked into the cell and sat on the bench.This is the only bench in the cell, because there is no sunshine in the prison all year round, the bench is damp and emits a musty smell.He interrupted King Rui: "Do you think I am not your son today? Because I am not your son in the first place, I am my mother's child born to someone else!"

King Rui stood up suddenly, his face turned pale, and he still squeezed out a smile: "Which nonsense is it? How could you not be my son!"

"Father, stop lying to me, look at how I look like you!"

King Rui looked at him. Meng Wanxi's nose bridge was straight and her pair of red phoenix eyes looked like Mo Ning when she was young: "You...you look like your mother..."

"You're still lying to me. I found my mother's personal maid before she got married. He said that my mother didn't know you when she was pregnant with me. Who is lying?" Meng Wanxi's eyes turned red.

King Rui thought that this secret could not be kept secret: "Xi'er, I just hope that you..."

"My mother had someone she liked before she entered the palace. It was you who brought him into the palace and made her die in depression. I actually called a thief my father and called my executioner my father for more than 20 years!" Meng Wanxi said to herself with a smile on the corner of her mouth. Thoughtful, but extremely cold.

"Executioner!" If he had been firm back then, would Mo Ning and Yan Shuang have survived?Thinking of the past, King Rui slumped down on the bed covered with thin straw.

"Meng Rui, let me ask you, did you kill my father?"

Father, say no, tell me no!Meng Wanxi clenched her fists and he begged in his heart.

King Rui closed his eyes, his lips trembling a little.The answer to Meng Wanxi was a long silence.

Meng Wanxi found out that he was not the prince's son, but the child of her mother and another man. When his father killed his biological father in order to get his mother, he still had some doubts. At this time, facing King Rui's silence , those doubts were completely shattered.

"Father, I will call you Father for the last time. Whose son am I?"

His answer was still silence.

"You don't even want to tell me that?"

King Rui's eyes were reddish and he bowed his head in silence, as if he was still stuck in memory.

"Okay, King Rui, let me tell you! I told the emperor that you conspired with the sixth prince to rebel. You... shall pay with your life!" Meng Wanxi's face was ferocious like a vicious beast.

He waved his long sleeves behind his back, "Think about it carefully and I'll ask next time!" He said and left the cell.Seeing Mr. Meng leave, the jailer hurried over to lock the door.

Different from the slow and leisurely journey when I came here, I galloped all the way back, and finally arrived at the gate of Huicheng City in the early morning of the third day without stopping.Before it was time to open the city gate, there were pedestrians in twos and threes waiting on the side of the road in the dimly lit sky.

Boom, boom, boom... Meng Wansheng rushed up and knocked on the city gate vigorously.

"Come here, open the door. Master is going into the city!"

"Why are you shouting, it's not time yet, wait!"

"I am an envoy patrolling the frontier, the prince's son has important matters to enter the palace, can you bear the delay?

The soldier on duty inside the city gate sneered, he was tired of playing this kind of tricks, he mocked: "You are the son of the prince, and I am still the Marquis of Yu'an with a cold face!"

"If you don't believe me, you'll know if you take a look!"

"Squeak" the thick door was opened a crack.Someone poked his head out. Under the gray helmet, there was a rough and dark face with tanned eyes, and a pair of wandering eyes.Before he had time to look at the face of the visitor, the visitor seized the opportunity and grabbed his shoulders and pulled him out. Then he kicked open the city gate, tightened the reins and ran into the city.

A carriage behind him drove past the city gate at high speed.The few soldiers standing behind the city gate, who were Meng Wansheng's opponents, didn't dismount, and they were beaten unconscious.The horseshoes rattled quickly towards Prince Rui's mansion.

"Come here..." The soldier who had just been pulled out of the city gate was about to call out a sword shining with silver light reaching his neck, only to see the man in front of him with a tall figure and a pale face, with cold eyes in his eyes. In the ice cave, the second half of Xiaobing's unfinished sentence "stop them" was frightened into his stomach.

Su Che took out a general order from his waist and flashed it in front of his eyes. He thought that just now he said that if the knocker was the prince's son, he would be Yu Anhou, and he thought that his life would definitely be lost this time.Almost tremblingly, he said: "Go... General, Marquis of Yu'an!"

"What's your name!"

"Zhang Wu"

"Okay, after changing the guard today, go to the City Defense Department to resign!"

After speaking, Su Che put away his sword, jumped on the horse and disappeared from the soldier's sight like lightning.

Xiaobing was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses and stroked the goosebumps that had frozen on his body.The people gathered in twos and threes looked inside the city gate and wanted to follow in. The soldier thought that he had lost his job although he had not lost his life, so he shouted angrily: "Go, go, what are you looking for, it's not there! You have the ability Be your master too!" The door was slammed shut, and a white dove appeared out of nowhere and flew across the sky.

On the official road, Xing Yuan sat in the bumpy carriage and meditated, Xiao Qi was still asleep beside him, he tried to wake Xiao Qi up several times along the way, hoping to visit his father's cell earlier, but in the end he couldn't tell him Wake up, I have to go back to the palace first.

Meng Wanzhi, the second son of Prince Rui's Mansion, hadn't had a good night's sleep for many days, and because he was running around for his father's affairs, his old disease relapsed and he coughed intermittently all night.In the early morning, he guessed that the fourth and fifth brothers would arrive soon, so he went to the front hall early to wait. The flickering candlelight in the hall reflected his pale, frail and emaciated face.Like a precarious piece of precious white jade, it makes people feel sorry for it.Meng Wanzhi's personal attendant, An Ning, lifted the curtain and came in, handed over the hand stove he was holding, and refilled the tea on the table.Seeing that the second son could not sleep well and was still coughing all the time, An Ning frowned and advised, "Master, you haven't closed your eyes for a few days, and your old illness has relapsed, so hurry up and go back to sleep for a while? The fourth son and the fifth son are back, slave." call you!"

Meng Wanzhi shook her head and sighed, "Oh! Where can I sleep!"

"The servant will make some soothing soup for you, the servant looks really distressed at the young master's current appearance!"

"It's useless!" Meng Wanzhi wanted to stop him, but An Ning's legs were extremely fast. Before he could stop her, she ran out of the front hall, so he had to let him go.

After drinking a few cups of tea, the water in the teapot was a bit cold, and just about to ask someone to continue, the door opened and there were footsteps at the door.Are the brothers back?Meng Wanzhi stood up and walked out of the hall. At this time, the guards at the door rushed to announce: "Fourth Young Master, Fifth Young Master is back!"

Just after the announcement, two anxious voices came from behind, "Second brother!" The two strode over, and the servant behind them carried Xiao Qi, who had been sleeping for a few days, to the backyard wing.

"How is father?" Meng Wansheng asked.

"Waiting for the verdict in the Zong Prison." Meng Wanzhi said hoarsely.

"Where are the third brother and mother?" Xing Yuan asked

"Mom hasn't slept well for the past two days. She managed to fall asleep today and still hasn't woken up! Wanxi hasn't returned for many days! You don't know yet! The book about the rebellion between father and the sixth prince was handed over by Wanxi .” Meng Wanzhi frowned with a heavy expression.

"What, third brother, he..." Why, why did third brother do this, he clearly knew that it was impossible for his father to rebel!The blood on Xing Yuan's face faded, and he looked pale from a distance.

"Third brother!" Meng Wansheng opened his mouth in disbelief.

Meng Wanzhi's eyes fell on Su Che who was standing not far away and wanted to call him: "Yu...cough cough cough..." He hurriedly covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed into a ball.

"Second brother, it's cold outside, come in." Meng Wansheng anxiously pulled Meng Wanzhi into the house.

"Evening Star..." A clear voice sounded, Su Che wanted to comfort him but didn't know what to say.

It was only then that Xing Yuan thought of Su Che. He turned around and saw the pair of pale and cold eyes standing under the morning sun, which seemed to contain some kind of strange emotion.he didn't know it was
