[I'm really sorry!] The updates in the last few months have been miserable...... Due to the constant turmoil of the work, the fiction part was neglected. Fortunately, the interviewer of the last interview woke me up! I have been graduating for almost two years! I have been in the society for a while, and it is time to recognize what I want and which path I should take! Now that I am working as an editor in a magazine, I am also determined to develop in the field of writing, and I will try to update it every day in the future. There is also a new book "The Building Will Fall", some book friends may have already read it, let's officially publicize it here!

Today, at Xu Fan's house, there was a family banquet, except for Xu Fan's wife and the two sons, there were only three Lu Hao brothers sitting on the table.

"It's a pity that the fourth prince is not here, otherwise the family would be all together!" said Xu Bo, who was standing behind Xu Fan with his hands down, with a smile.

Xu Fan's wife is only from a small family, but whether she followed Li Sanlang to seek a great cause or went to various places as an official later, Xu Fan and his wife have never left each other, and there is only one hostess in the huge prime minister's mansion.

Mrs. Xu has the virtue of a small jasper-style, although she is only nearly half a hundred years old, her ears and temples have been stained with frost marks, and she is particularly enthusiastic about Lu Hao and Shi Lei, who she only saw today, and from time to time beckons her subordinates to send some delicious food to the two, and frequently asks some trivial questions such as "Is it good to eat?", "Are you used to live?".

Lu Hao is still okay, but Shi Lei, who has never experienced motherly care, seems a little cramped at the moment, and has no interest in some of the foods he usually likes to eat in front of him, and turns his eyes to Lu Hao for help from time to time, like a puppy in the wind and rain.

Mrs. Xu is not a stupid person, she has long known the origin of her husband's disciples, she saw the strangeness and even fear in Shi Lei's eyes, and with Uncle Xu's words, she naturally led the topic away.

"I've been listening to you talk to the master about Xiaochen, it's good, everyone has been coming to Chang'an for a few days, and they haven't let me see me!"

Lu Hao listened, put down the wine glass in his hand, smiled here and responded: "Big brother went out of the city in an urgent matter yesterday, thinking that he should have rushed here at this time!"

"That's good!" Mrs. Xu smiled: "Senior Lady also wants to see my big apprentice as soon as possible!"

"Hmph!" Xu Junyi, who was sitting opposite Lu Hao, snorted coldly, his face full of displeasure.

Xu Junzhong, who was sitting next to him, turned his head sharply and glared at him fiercely, with a warning on his face, and then raised his wine glass and smiled apologetically at the other side.

Xu Junyi was puzzled.

Early this morning, before Xu Junyi even got up, the eldest brother Xu Junzhong came to his room and admonished him very harshly, without explaining at all, but he was not allowed to have the slightest disrespect for Xu Chen and the others who were going to come to the door today.

Originally, Xu Junyi only thought it was a joke, and even excitedly looked forward to whether the eldest brother had prepared some means to teach these little beggars who didn't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth. But he didn't want to wait for a long time, but he only saw that the eldest brother cared about the three little beggars, and the enthusiasm on his face even made him want to gag.

Xu Junyi, who couldn't help it, wanted to have a seizure several times, but he was interrupted and stopped by his eldest brother every time, and his attitude became more and more severe every time!

The resentment in my heart is accumulating more and more!

"It's okay! The lord hasn't come yet! When the little beggar who takes the lead comes, the master will settle the account with you!"

Xu Junyi's eyes were gloomy, he lowered his head, and only cared about drinking.

Xu Junzhong naturally also had a hard time, that day on the guest building, Xu Junyi was already drunk and unconscious, and although he was also drunk, he left a trace of clarity.

When the purgatory-like scene downstairs came into his eyes and imprinted in his mind, the smell of alcohol instantly evaporated with the fear that swept over.

He didn't know whether to congratulate himself on his good fortune or curse the hellish nightmare, until now, Xu Junzhong still didn't dare to close his eyes, every time tiredness hit, his eyes were filled with a blood-red.

He was physically and mentally exhausted, but he had to cheer up and give Lu Hao the warmest smile to the three of them, hoping that the demonic demon king could forget everything he had done before.

Xu Junzhong is only an official eunuch, and the calm bearing of the children of the family is also lacking a lot, and the madness that Xu Chen showed that day has completely broken the most stubborn pride in his heart.

He was afraid, very afraid!

Xu Junzhong didn't believe that Xu Chen didn't know what he had done, he just wanted to do something now to calm the anger in the other party's heart.

Originally, according to Xu Chen's crazy character, what he had done to his brothers was enough to die several times, but the other party had never really made a move on him, and now it seems that it can only be because of his father's existence.

But this is no longer enough to give me the confidence to stand up to that madman!

Xu Junzhong, who is not stupid enough to go home, has clearly realized the gap between the two sides, and it is not a distance that can be filled by his own efforts or intentions.

"Haha, today on Chinese New Year's Eve, I and other brothers rarely get together, we should drink a few cups!"

Xu Junzhong held the wine glass, forced the difficulty in his mind, paced with staggering steps, and walked towards the opposite side step by step.

Outside the door, a person walked quickly!

Xu Junzhong's swaying body blocked the comer, and his fast steps were about to collide, but he saw that the speed of this person did not decrease, and his footsteps deviated slightly to the left, and Feiyan avoided it.

A gust of wind blew, but Xu Junzhong's crumbling body never fell.

Wang Ce put down his wine glass and glanced up, but Lu Hao still lowered his head and drank lightly, without saying anything.

The person who came walked quickly to Xu Fan's side, leaned over and whispered.

Xu Fan's expressionless face frowned slightly.

Xu Fan raised his head, looked at Lu Hao and the others, was silent for a moment, and said, "Something happened to the stinky boy!"

"What?" Shi Lei looked up suddenly, no longer cramped.

Wang Ce also raised his head, looking surprised.

Lu Hao frowned slightly and looked at Xu Fan.

"There was a murder in a restaurant on Suzaku Street, and the arresters of the Chang'an Yamen surrounded it, and now they are recording a confession. ”

Xu Fan's tone was calm, no joy or sorrow.

"Big brother killed someone?" Shi Lei's face was a little anxious, but this anxiety had its own meaning: "No! There are only two people around him!"

"Shut up! What the hell!" Lu Hao turned his head and glared at him viciously.

Then he turned his head to look at Xu Fan, and said calmly: "Big brother won't kill anyone!...... I won't kill people in public!"

Xu Fan nodded slowly.

"Since the catcher is just surrounding the restaurant, and there is no more intense news, it means that the eldest brother is fine!" Lu Hao continued.

Xu Fan continued to nod.

Seeing that Xu Fan was still just nodding and not speaking, Lu Hao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked, "Then what?" is the specific situation inside...... Doesn't the teacher know?"

Xu Fan smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"How many yamen can stop the people who are the prime ministers of the court?" Lu Hao's tone gradually became cold.

"Presumptuous! What are you, dare to talk to my father like this!" Xu Junyi couldn't bear it anymore, smashed the wine glass in his hand suddenly, stood up in the splash of wine, stepped over the low table, and pressed towards Lu Hao.

Xu Junzhong, who finally stood firm, heard his father's words, and his brain was clouded with a "hum"!

The sleepiness and drunkenness dissipated again, his eyes were full of horror, and his mouth kept muttering, "No...... No...... Not me!"

In his frightened eyes, Xu Junzhong saw his younger brother pressing towards Lu Hao with a fierce momentum, and his body was clever and rushed forward.

A slap was slapped, and the sound of the slap stunned everyone in the hall.

Xu Fan, who was contemplating who was contemplating the layout, raised his head, Xu Bo, who was worried about Xu Chen's situation, raised his head, and Mrs. Xu, who was originally quietly pouring wine for her husband, also raised her head, the wine jug in her hand was still tilted, and the wine overflowed from the glass.

Although there are few intrigues in the back house of ordinary official eunuchs, Mrs. Xu has been an official wife for so many years, and now she is the wife of the prime minister.

Since Wang Ce entered Beijing, his two sons have made no secret of their dislike for their husbands, these students, and their good upbringing has made Mrs. Xu unable to treat Lu Hao and others coldly because of her son's disgust, but after all, as a mother, she can't be righteous and selfless for her two sons.

It's just a cold look, and the two don't help each other!

Lu Hao and the three of them looked at the two brothers of the Xu family, with some doubts on their faces.

Even the man who was standing beside Xu Fan, with his eyebrows lowered and his hands lowered, also glanced at here.

As for Xu Junyi himself, his mind has long been blank.

"Big ...... Eldest brother...... You ......"

"Shut up!" Fear and irritability enveloped Xu Junzhong, at this moment, he didn't have the patience to say anything to his younger brother, and shouted with a cold face: "Father, is there a place for you to speak?"

At this moment, Xu Junyi finally discovered the abnormality, the eldest brother did not have ulterior motives at all, but really stood on the little beggar's side!

"Big brother...... What are you doing, I'm your own brother!" Xu Junyi roared, tears of grievance overflowing from the corners of his eyes.

"Don't back down yet!"

Xu Junzhong's face was cold, and he seemed to have grown a lot at the moment, looking at his younger brother's face that was intertwined with grievances, resentment and inaction, his eyes were full of helplessness of hatred.

Xu Fan straightened the wine jug in his wife's hand, and looked at his eldest son's eyes with a little ...... Gratified!

Although he knew that Xu Junzhong's excessive performance at the moment was only due to fear, this ...... It's a lot better than before!

He didn't expect his two sons to have much success, but in Chang'an, he still had to do something in the position of prime minister, and these two sons would become political enemies at some point to deal with him, knowing that fear was much better than fearlessness before!

Lu Hao also gradually understood, but his gaze at Xu Junzhong brought more thought.

"Senior brother, have you ever met anyone before?"

Lu Hao didn't make it clear, but he thought Xu Junzhong should be able to understand.

Sure enough, Xu Junzhong immediately turned his head, waved his hand at Lu Hao, and said righteously: "No! It's not me! I admit that there was some misunderstanding with a few juniors and disciples before! But this time it's really not me!"

Xu Fan's brows, which had just been soothed by relief, wrinkled again, stared at Xu Junzhong, and said coldly: "Say!"

Xu Junzhong was clever and hurriedly replied: "I don't know who that person is, he only said that there is a way to solve it...... Solve my distress ......"

The more he spoke, the more suspicious Xu Junzhong became.

"I ...... I really didn't expect him to do it, Qi family...... The Qi family is like that, he ...... He's not that stupid, is he?"
