The summer wind blows like fire on people's faces, and the refreshing spring water is always loved by people at this time. There will be a natural spring in the back garden of Yang's mansion, and it is said that at this time, water is drawn from the mountains in Chang'an City to this place, dozens of miles away, just to give the people in their mansion to be able to enjoy the sweet spring in the hot summer.

Lu Yu lived here for a while, although it was the most stable day after she came to the Central Plains, but it was the most uneasy day in her heart. She didn't know when she would be able to meet Duan Shuai, she didn't know when Xue Lengfeng would come to the door, she didn't know where her sister Lu Jin was now, she didn't know how to face that cruel father.

Her heart was like the dew on this lotus leaf. Yang Xian was not at home that day, not to go out to play at all, but to send Lu Yu and Zhao Nian away, no one thought that Lu Yu chose to leave at this time, everything was so unfortunate, as for where to go, she didn't know the bottom of her heart, at least if she stayed in Yang Mansion for a long time, sooner or later it would bring disaster to them. Lu Yu is a person who never wants to trouble others, as long as she is not exhausted, then she will never rely on others.

But at this time, there are people relying on her, Xiao Zhao Nian is now Lu Yu's biggest spiritual pillar, after fleeing for such a long time, how many nights Lu Yu was surprised because of fear, fortunately, when he opened his eyes, he could see a young and simple face beside him, which was not a kind of enjoyment, but it would definitely not be a torment, let alone a burden. Lu Yu is used to this kind of life, without Duan Shuai's life, without the life of his relatives.

After Duan Shuai lived in the Yang Mansion for a few days, Yang Xian finally rushed back, he heard that Duan Shuai had come to the mansion, and his spirit suddenly improved, and before he could find Duan Shuai to catch up, he was called to the bed by Yang Zhong. Yang Zhong's health has always been not very good, and recently old problems often occur again, asthma is never easy to treat, especially for an old man, the chance of cure is even more minimal.

Yang Zhong suddenly felt a little uncomfortable on this day, and he fell ill on the bed not long after. Although Yang Xian is a little stubborn, he still understands filial piety, and after he came back, he served by his father's side every step of the way. At this time, Liu Changqing walked in, which surprised Yang Xian a little, and he couldn't recognize that the person in front of him in gorgeous clothes was Liu Changqing, a down-and-out scholar who shared the hardships with him that day.

After the two of them reminisced, Liu Changqing sighed and said, "Brother Yang, do you know where Lord Yang's illness started?" Yang Xian shook his head as if he was suspicious, Liu Changqing paused, and said with a bitter face: "Lord Yang's illness is from the heart. Yang Xian was a little surprised, and asked suspiciously, "Why did Brother Liu say that?" Could it be that Brother Liu knows what disease his father is suffering from? ”

Liu Changqing nodded pretending to be pensive, and said with resentment: "Brother Yang! Lord Yang has worked hard for half his life in this life, it can be said that he has worked hard, and now he is old, he could have withdrawn from the court and enjoyed his old age in peace, but the Yang family, a large family, was not taken care of, he intended to let you share it for him, but you were not here, so many years, you had to bear it silently alone. Now it's tired, but... ”

Liu Changqing glanced at Yang Zhong, who was really asleep, and said softly: "But if Lord Yang is a hundred years later, who will take care of your young brothers and sisters?" Yang Xian nodded thoughtfully, he already knew in his heart that his father had deliberately arranged for him to enter the court as an official after Yuwen Hu was removed, but Yang Xian, who was already General Zuo, liked the life of the rivers and lakes and was not used to following the rules of officialdom, so it was put on hold.

Now it's different, Yang Zhong is really old, although the power of the Yang family is all over the government and the opposition, but he still understands the truth of the tree falling and scattering, if no one firmly grasps the power in the court, then one day, those former enemies will come to the door one by one, and those friends today will also avoid it.

Liu Changqing then said: "Brother Yang is a smart person, and I don't want to talk about the truth, but you can see who else in the Yang family can afford this family besides Lord Yang?" Yang Xian sighed, several of his brothers are all children who eat, drink and have fun, and his uncle Yang Su has been leading troops all the year round, and he is old, thinking about it, there is no suitable candidate except himself.

The night was deep, and the starlight shone in the empty night sky, weak and powerless. A leaf has fallen from the branches of the trees in the courtyard, and although it is a hot summer day, there are also some trees that will age early, let alone people. If a person says that he is old, then he must be old, even if he is not old, but his heart is already old.

Yang Xian is young, but his heart is slowly getting old, and he won't even think of the speed of aging. Yang Xian was silent, Liu Changqing had been by his side, he knew that Yang Xian at this time needed such a friend to be by his side the most, even if he just sat quietly and didn't say anything.

Yang Xian's heart is painful, the first time in more than 20 years that he has been so painful, he can't give up the excitement of his career, and he can't let go of the hero's chivalrous tenderness, but the more he can't give up, the more ruthless he has to give up. It seems that there are too many choices for Yang Xian to choose, Yang Xian lowered his head, and the arrogant and invincible Yang Xian is gone.

When he looked up, his sharp eyes seemed to become less sharp, but so gentle, as gentle as his father. He figured it out, and there's nothing you can't figure out, unless you're simply not willing to take the time and effort to think about it. Yang Xian walked straight back to his father's hospital room, knelt down in front of the sickbed and looked at his aging father warmly, and the corners of his mouth showed a slight smile. The smile is so pale and weak, and it is so heartfelt.

In the early morning of the second day, Yang Zhong got up early in the morning and found that Yang Xian had fallen asleep on the side of the bed, that night belonged to their father and son, but Yang Zhong did not enjoy it, but Yang Xian completely and profoundly realized it. After Yang Xian woke up, he helped his father to take a walk in the courtyard, and after a few steps, Yang Xian took the initiative to say: "Dad, I have nothing to do at home, I only know how to be idle all day long, why don't you recommend me to become an official?" ”

Yang Zhong didn't seem to believe his ears, he was stunned, he couldn't say a word for a long time, Yang Xian looked at him with a smile, Yang Zhong finally smiled, smiled so sincerely, so cheerful, maybe this smile was Yang Zhong's most gratifying smile in decades. There are many kinds of laughter, for different people and different things, laughter is naturally different, some people's laughter can save people, like a refreshing sweet spring, refreshing people's hearts; And some people's laughter can kill, like a piece of knife pointing straight to the throat, making people breathless. Most of Yang Zhong's laughter is the latter kind, but this time's laughter is really the former type, and there is really nothing happier than his son being willing to take over his class.

Yang Zhong had already found a good errand for Yang Xian in the court, and the boys of the Yang family grew up in the army since childhood, but at the beginning of Yang Xian's generation, the country gradually stabilized, so Yang Xian naturally did not serve in the army. This time, Yang Xian was naturally the general of Zhengnan recommended by Yang Zhongduo.

Liu Changqing also benefited from it, he was excited, his ancestors had been farmers for generations, and he had never had a dignitary, and he soared overnight, this is not luck, but strength. He has a very accurate eye for people, he can see through Yang Zhong's mind at a glance, and he can also calculate Yang Xian's determination at a glance. Yang Zhong doesn't like people with many eyes, because he himself is a person with many eyes, and he doesn't like people with more eyes than himself, because the story of Cao Cao and Sima Yi is vivid, and there are lessons from the past, but in this situation here and now, Liu Changqing, as Yang Xian's most powerful assistant, couldn't be better.

As for the future, no one knows what will happen, maybe Yang Zhong has already designed the ending for Liu Changqing. Yang Xian commanded an army of 100,000 for the first time when he held real power, and some people in the army were secretly unhappy, but fortunately, there was a general Yu Wenlin who took care of everything for him in the army, which shocked everyone.

In just three months, Yang Xian has a certain understanding of the military system, including the employment of personnel, it is the age of being young and vigorous, sharpening his sword, he has long been unable to resist his inner impulse, and his eyes will always look south in his spare time, no one knows what he is looking at, only Liu Changqing knows, he not only knows what Yang Xian is looking at, he also knows how to help him achieve everything he thinks and thinks.
