For some reason, there are a lot of snowflakes in Dijing this winter, and it has only been a second snow since the beginning of winter.

When Feng Qing stepped into the small courtyard of the Feng Clan's ancestral hall, the snowflakes had already accumulated half a foot thick.

With the creaking sound of snowflakes, when he slowly walked into the only room in the small courtyard, he saw Feng Xuan kneeling next to the low table by the window, wearing a pale cyan brocade robe, with an indifferent and gentle expression.

He slowly walked over to the futon across from him and sat down cross-legged.

There was a white jade chessboard on the low table, and he picked up a black piece and landed on it.

Feng Xuan also picked up a white jade and fell down. Neither of them spoke, so they silently fought and killed on the chessboard.

A warm flame burned in the charcoal basin next to the low table, and through the veiled window, you could see faint snowflakes fluttering softly.

Not far from the short distance, Yin Feng, who had changed his black clothes, was wearing a gray robe and was brewing a humble tea set, and after a while, there was a faint and faint fragrance of tea lingering in the house.

At this time, Yin Feng looks more like a chivalrous man who looks down on the world, and his temperament is calm and calm.

The room is quiet and elegant, and the time is silent. I don't know when, after Feng Xuan fell a white seed, Feng Qing said, "I lost. ”

After that, he put the sunspot in his hand in the chess box.

Feng Xuan looked at Feng Qing quietly, and his bright eyes couldn't see the traces of time.

Feng Qing also looked at Feng Xuan, and there was some warmth in his eyes as deep as eagle eyes.

"You're finally willing to see me. After the two looked at each other for a long time, Feng Qing said softly. There are some vicissitudes between the words.

Feng Xuan didn't respond to his words, he looked sideways at the snowflakes outside the window, and after a while, he turned his head to Yin Feng on the side and said, "Go to the imperial dining room and get some raw beef dishes." ”

A light slipped through Feng Qing's deep eyes.

When Yin Feng was about to retreat, he also ordered: "Don't be discovered by those imperial chefs, bring some rabbit meat." ”

Yin Feng nodded, turned around and walked out of the door.

Only the two brothers were left in the small house.

"You haven't forgotten that you and I secretly ate barbecue with Feng Fei on a snowy day?" After a while, Feng Qing asked lightly, not seeing any change in his expression, but there was a trace of gentleness in the depths of a pair of deep and bottomless eyes.

"How can you forget that at that time, our brothers and sisters had no one to take care of, and my father was busy with court affairs, and the other imperial concubines regarded our brothers and sisters as a thorn in their eyes. If it weren't for the big brother's resourcefulness. We may have gone to the realm of impermanence together. ”

Feng Xuan slowly got a cup of tea for Feng Qing. said softly, looking at Feng Qing's eyes with indifference and calmness.

There was another long silence, and the two brothers looked at the burning charcoal basin, and there were wisps of tenderness and melancholy floating in their hearts.

"Remember that cat?"

A long time later, when Yin Feng, who had taken the meat, walked in. Feng Xuan asked Feng Qing softly.

"How can you not remember. If it weren't for the cat. I'm afraid that our brothers can't sit here anymore" Feng Qing suddenly paused when she said this, Feng Xuan's eyes were like shining stars, with a faint light staring at Feng Qing who suddenly closed his mouth in front of him.

Yes, if it weren't for the cat that died for them. How could they have the present time, and how could this later love, hate, and hatred happen?

When their mother passed away, Feng Fei was only three years old, Feng Xuan was six years old, and Feng Qing was only eight years old.

After their mother left, the upbringing of the three of them became a problem, and the concubines in the palace were reluctant to take care of the three of them because they hated their mother. And handed over to the palace people to take care of, the emperor was not at ease.

In such a situation, one of the emperor's unfavored concubines with a relatively low status stood up and told the emperor to take care of their three brothers and sisters despite the cold eyes of the queen and other concubines, and the emperor agreed to her request, and because of her generosity, promoted her to the imperial concubine.

Suddenly losing the protection of their mother, the three siblings were like fawns that had lost the protection of the doe, and they did not know at that time that they had become prey in the eyes of others and were in danger of losing their lives at any time.

The concubine seemed to be very kind to them, shushing and asking for warmth, and finally they found that they were just a tool that the concubine used to show his merits to the emperor.

There is no doubt that she was successful, because of the three of them, she was promoted from a low-status concubine to an imperial concubine, and soon after gave birth to a son of her own.

It's just that she is not smart enough to take advantage of the three of them forever, and in the day of the birth of the new prince, by giving birth to a son, she has contributed to the royal family, and begged the former emperor to hold a grand 100-day banquet for her son.

But that banquet cost her her life, and she became the current Fengqing Fengxuan brothers.

Feng Qing still remembers very clearly, that day because he hated that princess, he didn't let Feng Xuan and Feng Fei see that banquet.

Not long after, someone from the palace brought them a sumptuous meal. At that time, the three brothers and sisters were busy fighting, and they didn't notice that the food on the table was eaten by a flower cat newly raised by Feng Fei.

Waiting for a terrible cat meow to interrupt the three siblings' play, they saw that the cat, which had just been jumping alive, was bleeding to death on the table.

That terrifying appearance is still fresh in my memory.

Four-year-old Feng Fei was scared and cried at that time, and seven-year-old Feng Fei was also frightened and her little face turned white.

At that moment, nine-year-old Feng Qing suddenly seemed to have grown up to more than ten years, and he made a decision that a nine-year-old child couldn't make.

He decisively carried the corpse of the dead cat and led the young brothers and sisters to the banquet hall with the wine and food, put the dead cat in the center of the hall, and knelt and begged the father and emperor not to abandon the three of them while having a new child and a new favorite concubine.

One can imagine how big the shock that incident brought to the entire Great Dragon Palace.

The emperor was furious and ordered a strict investigation, but the palace people who served the wine and food died in a well in the palace unconsciously. But even so, in the end, the mastermind behind the incident was discovered.

"On the day Concubine Liang died, I went to see her. Feng Qing's speech was slow and heavy, and that good concubine took the initiative to ask the emperor to take care of their brother and sister's concubine.

"Good concubine" Feng Xuan muttered to himself lightly, and the luster in his eyes was as warm and calm as ever.

That good concubine always looked humble and respectful. But under that humility and deference there is the cunning of a fox, the greed and ruthlessness of a wolf.

When she died, she begged her father to let her take one last look at her son. Feng Qing's heavy and slow words sounded again in the lonely room: "But I was rejected by my father." I remember very clearly that my father glanced at her coldly at that time, and only said, 'Poison my Feng descendant, how can you be worthy of being a mother'" Speaking of this, he stopped, and the expression in his eyes was complicated and a little sad.

"At that moment, I actually sympathized with Concubine Liang, hoping that my father would let her take a look at his son. When Feng Qing said this, there was some sadness and melancholy in her tone.

Feng Xuan listened quietly. There was also a bit of melancholy and heaviness in his expression.

"That's from then on. I hated this cold palace, and I thought that I would completely change this palace with my own strength. I want to make sure that there is no hidden killing in this palace, I want you and Feng Fei to live in this palace with peace of mind, and I don't want to be like my father after my mother leaves. will still sing and dance with other concubines. But"

He paused again. Slowly glanced at Feng Xuan on the other side. After a while, he continued: "But when I finally stood on the top of the dragon, I realized the helplessness and loneliness of my father. ”

After saying this paragraph, he looked tired and vicissitudes. He looked lonely and lonely.

The flames in the charcoal basin burned silently, and the beef and rabbit meat brought by Yin Feng were placed on the side, and Yin Feng had already retreated.

Feng Xuan got up and came to the porcelain plate containing the meat, picked up the knife on the plate, and skillfully cut the piece of beef. Cut them into thin slices and stack them neatly in another porcelain plate.

Then he poured oil and various spices on it, and finally put the porcelain plate on the charcoal basin, and after a while, the bright red beef in the porcelain plate began to smoke.

For a moment, the originally quiet room was filled with smoke and dust mixed with meat and spices.

Feng Qing got up and pushed open the window, and a cold chill rushed in with the moisture of snowflakes.

Since the cat's incident, the nine-year-old begged the emperor to take care of his younger siblings, and the emperor squinted at him and agreed to his request.

It was from then on that he began to focus on cultivating his own power, first selected some new palace people from the palace people, and left a few old palace people who were once loyal to his mother, he began to lead Feng Xuan Feng Fei to learn martial arts with the palace guards, compared to simple martial arts, he liked weird and changeable weapons and power techniques.

He is very strict with his younger siblings, and he is never allowed to delay his homework until the next day, Feng Fei is always very obedient and hard-working, but Feng Fei will always be taught by him to cry.

At that time, Feng Xuan always took a brocade to wipe her tears for Feng Fei, and comforted her softly.

Because of the cat incident, they only eat in the kitchenette of their own palace, and never eat the food sent by other people in the palace.

And now the method of barbecue was invented by themselves at that time.

Opening the window and taking a deep breath of fresh air, Feng Qing turned around and walked to the charcoal basin, watching through the wisps of smoke and dust as Feng Xuan skillfully divided the rabbit meat and some other vegetables.

Suddenly, he smiled, laughing gently and teasingly, "You have longed for a life like the gods since you were a child, and now you still have a little fairy temperament, but you are very much like a street meat seller." ”

The tone is rare light and lively.

Feng Xuan on the other side glanced at him and said lightly: "I am a red dust person, how can I get rid of the smoke and dust in this world?"

In a word, Feng Qing's face darkened again, and the happiness that had just flashed disappeared without a trace.

When the first plate of beef was examined, Feng Xuan took out the meat and sandwiched it in a fine porcelain dish and served it to Feng Qing.

Feng Qing picked up a piece and fed it into his mouth, he ate it very slowly, as if he remembered something.

"You remember my favorite beef. He said softly

At this time, Feng Xuan had already put another plate of rabbit meat on the porcelain plate and roasted it.

Listening to Feng Qing's words, he stopped all the movements in his hand, and his eyes seemed to look at the distant mountain peaks with a long and long expression.

"Xiao Fei loves rabbit meat the most, she said that she didn't want to make herself as fat as a cow, so she only ate rabbit meat, but you are the most fond of beef, because of the cow's patience and persistence. ”

Speaking of this, he stopped, and looked fixedly at Feng Qing's eyes with the luster of a cold ice cellar. After a while, she said softly and coldly: "My Li'er only eats green vegetables, and she said that she can't bear to kill innocent lives because of her appetite." But she ended up being your prey. ”

"Smack"

Feng Qing put the saucer in his hand on the low table on the side, and his eyes instantly flashed with a sword-like light, staring straight at Feng Xuan in front of him, not for a moment. And Feng Xuan also met Feng Qing's eyes without fear, and the warm room as spring suddenly seemed to be frost-like, and there seemed to be an invisible sword light and sword shadow floating above the two of them.

At this moment, there was a dead silence in the house, and Yin Feng outside the house stood quietly.

These two brothers are the strangest brothers he has ever seen, the elder brother has the supreme right to take away the younger brother's wife, the younger brother can completely save his lover, but he seems to be under house arrest in this corner of the place, but under this surface, there is a secret hidden in the world, that is, the two brothers are jointly in charge of the most mysterious organization of the dragon - "Eagle Guard"

I don't know how long it took, Feng Qing opened his mouth and said coldly: "Did you see me today to say this?" After that, he looked at Feng Xuan on the other side heavily, but the cold in his eyes had gradually receded.

Feng Xuan lowered his head and took down the barbecue meat on the charcoal basin, the meat was already roasted to black, with a strong burnt smell.

"The matter of grain and grass has been raised. He cleaned up the charred rabbit meat and said softly, his demeanor returning to the usual tranquility and indifference.

Feng Qing was stunned for a moment, "What can you find out?" There was some expectation and faint nervousness in his eyes.

Feng Xuan's hand stopped again, and looked up at Feng Qing, there was some indescribable complexity in his clear eyes.

After a while, he said softly: "Internal and external collusion." ”

For a long time, Feng Qing was stunned and didn't speak, and there was no expression on his face, like a person who was beaten with a stick, not knowing the south, south, west, and north.

"Is it He'er?" he asked after a long time.

Feng Xuan nodded slightly.

"The people sent out have found out that when the grain and grass arrived at Yongguan, He'er had abnormal behavior, and the people who received the grain and grass in Jiguo were also the ones who assassinated Ze'er. Although there is no direct evidence to prove that this matter is related to He'er, it has to be prevented from being pulled in by Ji Rujin. ”

"Rebel"

Feng Qing's hand slowly clenched, and suddenly he stood up and was about to walk out, when he missed Feng Xuan, who was kneeling on the futon, he heard a faint call:

"Big brother, don't worry. ”

His footsteps suddenly paused again, and he turned his head slightly to look at Feng Xuan underground, with some consternation and excitement in his eyes.

"Are you willing to call me big brother?"

Feng Xuan slowly got up and looked at Feng Qing, with a little pain in his eyes.

After a moment of silence, he said slowly:

"He'er has a good heart, but his heart is uncertain, his temperament is paranoid, he seems to be strong but extremely vulnerable, even if he has done something wrong, he is also blinded by jealousy and hatred. I'm afraid that Ji Rujin will take advantage of He'er's weakness and make him go to a situation from which he will never recover. What the eldest brother has to do now is to restore the position of the crown prince of Fù He'er, and let him be sure that Dalong's world will be his, so that he can wholeheartedly safeguard Dalong's interests and truly correct his mistakes. ”

At this moment, there was strictness and seriousness in his expression.

After Feng Qing slowly walked around the room, he asked Feng Xuan in a deep voice, "Do you still remember the ancestors' teachings?"

Feng Xuan nodded, the expression on his face was painful and helpless.

"Do you remember the third precept of the ancestors?"

"The third rule of the ancestors' testament: the descendants of the Feng clan are not allowed to betray the interests of the great dragon. The great dragon was exchanged for blood and life by the ancestor of the Feng clan, and it will be maintained with blood and life. All the descendants of the Feng clan who betray the interests of my big dragon will be killed. ”

After Feng Qing finished speaking coldly, he turned around and strode out of the door.

The wind in the room stood for a long time, with a trace of sadness and helplessness under his calm expression.

"The interests of the Great Dragon. After a long time, Yin Feng outside the door only heard these few words. (To be continued......)
