Looking to Chang'an from the North

Although the eldest brother did something wrong, Xia Yizheng knew very well that Xia Beixiu was not a cold-hearted person who really disregarded family affection, not to mention that the Xia family had their own way to solve problems.

After sending Changyun back to the mansion, Xia Yizheng went to Xia Beixiu's mansion. From the very beginning, he was not prepared to swallow his anger. If this matter is not resolved as soon as possible, it will become an inseparable thorn between their brothers sooner or later. Will puncture the throat.

When Xia Yizheng arrived, Xia Beixiu was practicing swords in the courtyard.

The Xia family didn't practice swords when they were free. More often, it was a way to vent their emotions. Back then when Xia Hongpei and his wife got into trouble, the two brothers would lie on the fence and watch their father dance the sword. It lasted all afternoon.

Xia Yizheng did not stand aside and watch, but chose the long sword in his hand, weighed it in his hand, and then pointed his toes towards Xia Beixiu. A move is not without defense.

He seemed to be restraining himself, holding down his sword all the time, but he soon discovered that Yunji didn't want to practice swords with him, he was ruthless, and had already left lines of swords on his clothes mark.

At this point, Xia Beixiu didn't give in any more, and when he completely let go, the two of them were evenly divided, and there were many sword marks on their clothes, which became tattered.The two of you come and go and don't let anyone else, they just fight heartily.

As if thinking that this wasn't enough fun, Xia Yizheng saw a loophole and flew his brother's sword away, then threw away the sword in his hand, and punched him directly in the face, but Xia Beixiu was not a vegetarian, so he swung his brother's sword straight away. Punch back.

Neither of the two said anything, just hit their heads in such a dull manner, and the bang of the first being hit could be heard outside the courtyard.

They didn't stop until their handsome faces were stained and their bodies had been punched by each other.As if they were tired from beating, the two just lay on their backs in the yard. After a long time, Xia Beixiu got up first, and he stretched out his hand to Xia Yizheng.

Xia Yizheng held his brother's hand without hesitation, and stood up with his strength.

Sure enough, after venting out, I feel much more at ease.

"Let's go into the room and talk." Xia Beixiu is not a dull person. It's not hard to guess why his younger brother, who has always respected his elder brother, mercilessly attacked his elder brother.

"Today, I went to my father's cemetery." I also heard what you said to your father.

Xia Yizheng didn't say the second half of the sentence, but Xia Beixiu understood what he meant.

"I did it. Letting Meng Lingsu go, misleading Lin Chuhuai, all of this was done by me." Xia Beixiu did not deny it and was even more frank.

Xia Yizheng might have been able to lie to himself before that it might have been just a misunderstanding, but his eldest brother's confession made him not know what to say, and it took him a while to ask "Why."

There was a little tremor in that voice, more disappointment.

But Xia Beixiu looked into his painful eyes very calmly, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Why? You really don't know why?"

When Xia Beixiu said the latter sentence, his voice suddenly increased, revealing his long-hidden resentment and anger.

But when he spoke again, his voice was very low, as if he was puzzled and confused.

"When I followed my father to the north to fight against the enemy, you were just a child who only knew how to make trouble all day long, but when I returned to the army, you had already become a well-known general who suppressed the north. Everyone in the army respected you Rong, for your sake, who still remembers that I, Xia Beixiu, is the eldest son of the Xia family and the most legitimate ruler of the Xia family army."

Back then when his father took him to the battlefield early on, he made up his mind to train him to be his successor, to succeed him as the patron saint of the northern border. Who knew that back then would not praise Mr. Xia as a general.

It's a pity that God's will tricks people. Back then, his father was defeated and died, and he was also a prisoner of the enemy. This humiliating life lasted for two years. After returning, although no one in the army dared to belittle him, it was different after all. .

He tried hard to convince himself that no matter what position he was in, as long as he could do his best to be innocent, he tried hard to let himself be the elder brother who cared for the younger brother, telling himself that he would do his best to help Yunji, together with him guards this hot land.

But he couldn't do it. From the moment he saw Yunji deploying troops and generals on the general stage, he felt unwilling to do so. He knew that he had changed, and he was no longer as open-minded as before. He once hated such a situation. I can't help myself.

Even though Yunji was seriously ill, he still wanted to share his long-awaited opportunity. He didn't expect Yunji to be bad, but he really liked the feeling of dispatching troops. Xia Beixiu was born to belong to this land. Land belongs to the battlefield.

Xia Yizheng was speechless when he heard these words, he didn't know that the elder brother who had always looked calm had so many emotions in his heart that he didn't know.

Although saying this might annoy the elder brother even more, he really doesn't mind who is in charge in the army. If the elder brother told him earlier, he would definitely step aside.

"actually, I……"

But his explanation was interrupted before he could speak, "You don't need to say too much, it's too narrow. You don't have to be partial, just deal with it according to military law. I have no complaints."

After Xia Beixiu said this, he was ready to go out. Maybe after today, this will be the case between the brothers, and they will never go back to the past.

But when Xia Beixiu was about to step over the threshold, Xia Yizheng grabbed his elbow.

"Brother, I want to punish you, but this punishment is that I want you to take charge of the soldiers and horses in the northern border for me. Brother, can I trust you again?"

Xia Beixiu suddenly raised his head when he heard the words, his eyes were full of disbelief, "What do you mean by that?"

But Xia Yizheng smiled as if relieved, "Literally, but before that, I have one more thing to ask my brother."

Fighting against his brothers, Xia Yizheng chose to trust Xia Beixiu one more time. He believed that his elder brother would not be confused in front of big right and wrong, not to mention that he would delegate power after this matter was completed.

"Tell me." Although my younger brother has never been serious in front of his family, he promises a lot, and what he says will not be a lie.

Xia Yizheng told his elder brother all his thoughts, he wanted to divide his troops into two groups and go straight to Beijing as quickly as possible, and his elder brother would undoubtedly be his greatest help.

Xia Beixiu was silent for a moment after listening, and then said, "Okay."

This move is not a violation of the heart, nor can it be regarded as a violation of the ancestral precepts.

Xia Yizheng nodded lightly when he heard the words, "If that's the case, then there will be Brother Lao."

After returning home, Lin Chuhuai thought over and over again, and wrote a letter to his father, saying that once Yunji raised an army, the Lin family would definitely be implicated, so he had to let his father prepare first.

When Xia Yizheng entered the courtyard, Lin Chuhuai had just finished writing the letter and was about to put it in an envelope, when he looked up and saw his face in shock.

"What's the matter, what's the matter with the wound on the face?"

The corners of Xia Yizheng's lips and eyebrows were bruised to varying degrees, and there were bloodstains on his lips that he forgot to wipe off.

"Hiss." Xia Yizheng grabbed Lin Chuhuai's hand that was wiping blood for him, and smiled reassuringly.

"It's okay, I just tried a few tricks with my elder brother. You haven't seen his appearance, and you are a bit worse than me." There was a hint of pride in these words, but it was obvious that the melancholy when he just came down the mountain was gone.

Lin Chuhuai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he was really worried for nothing, this person is so good at self-relieving that he didn't need to comfort him.

"Talk to elder brother and choose to forgive him?"

Knowing that this person didn't take this matter to heart, Lin Chuhuai dared to ask so directly.

"Speaking of which, I never knew that my elder brother had hidden so many things in his heart." Facing Chang Yun, Xia Yizheng didn't feel that there was anything to hide.

After listening to everything, Lin Chuhuai was still a little worried, "Are you really sure he can be trusted?"

Sometimes jealousy can change people beyond recognition, not to mention Xia Beixiu has already done that.

"Sure." Xia Yizheng almost blurted out.

"Brother has always been worried about the military power in the northern border, and it is my successor. If I am willing to give up all the military power to him, then there is no reason for my brother to do anything irrational."

Looking at Chang Yun's expression, Xia Yizheng pinched his face, but Lin Chuhuai did not hide.

"Do you think I'm giving in, trying to restore the relationship between our brothers?" Chang Yun's inner thoughts are almost clearly written on his face, which is easy to guess.

"Is not it?"

Yunji has been in charge of the Northern Territory for six years. Why does he say that power should be delegated? If it is not a deliberate concession, it is difficult to explain.

"No." Xia Yizheng pulled Chang Yun to sit down before continuing.

"Actually, I have thought about entrusting all the affairs of the northern border to my elder brother. As a young general, my elder brother is no less courageous and courageous than me. More importantly, I know that your heart is in the court. Waiting for this time all After the end, I want to accompany you to assist the new emperor in Shangjing."

Before Lin Chuhuai could open his mouth, he continued, "And Jinxuan always hoped that I could take time off to take good care of my body, and Si Nanxian also promised not to invade the frontier within five years. Of course, if the northern border needs me Will still go back."

Hearing what this person said behind, Lin Chuhuai couldn't say anything more. In fact, there is nothing wrong with delegating power, as long as the person guarding the border is a loyal and unambitious person. General Xia's family tradition is still trustworthy.

Xia Yizheng caught sight of Lin Chuhuai's letter on the table, "To father?"

"Yes, father should be prepared early, so that you don't have to worry about the future."

This is correct, the whole family of the Lin family is the biggest leverage in Xiao Yu's hands that can be used to threaten them.

Xia Yizheng found a confidant to do this in person, and must hand over the letter to Lin Xiang completely.

Lin Xiang also made a decision quickly after receiving the letter. Although this matter is more serious than treason, he is not an ignorant person. Although he values ​​the reputation of the Lin family, he also knows What is the trend.

Lin Chuheng knew each and every one of the foolish things that Xiao Yu had done for the king over the years. The reason why he had always let it go was because of the constraints of the way of the monarch and ministers, and more because there was no one who was willing to take the risk. There is no such thing as a person who rises from the pole.

Chang Yun's willingness to be that person may not be a bad thing. His Lin family's reputation for so many years is worthwhile even if it is ruined in this moment.
