"Rui'er, what do you think?" Xue Chengyuan suddenly turned to look at his eldest son, the atmosphere in the room was solemn, only Xue Ruixuan sat and drank tea for a long time, and he didn't look affected at all.

"Dad already knows who his son is, so why ask knowingly." Xue Ruixuan pursed his lips and smiled lightly, he has always been the confidant of the eldest prince, so he is naturally on the side of the eldest prince.

Xue Zeyan frowned, he was rarely at home over the years, and he didn't see his eldest brother much, and when he came back to the Hou Mansion occasionally, he just hurriedly said a few words and left, listening to his father's words at this time, he suddenly became sensitive to the identity of the eldest brother.

"King Ping has been dormant for a few years, and the emperor has not forbeared. King Ping's power is intertwined, coupled with the power of King An's old department, and there are also desolate tribes, barbarians are ready to move, and the emperor has always held back, just to find the best time. Xue Ruixuan finally opened his mouth, tilted his head and said lightly, "In the past two years, King Ping has recruited troops and horses, and the children's people have long been mixed in, and as for his other forces, they also have children's connections, and they should have moved him a long time ago, but the eldest prince has been thinking about the people, so he will give him opportunities again and again." ”

This is the real Xue Ruixuan, although he doesn't like to be involved with the royal family, but he will never sit still! He, sober, calm, ruthless, he had long expected King Ping's thoughts, so he would insert people into his side early in the morning, and now this is also the agreement he formed with the eldest prince, or rather, he is the eldest prince's hole card!

"Big brother, ...... you" Xue Zeyan was greatly shocked, he had always known the eldest prince's appreciation for his eldest brother, but all he knew about the eldest brother's military presence back then, and also knew that Xue Ruixuan had a high reputation in the army, but he didn't expect that the person who had already cooperated with the eldest prince turned out to be his eldest brother.

The eldest prince has made remarkable achievements in politics over the years, and is very loved by the people among the people, and he is gentle and elegant, with extremely high knowledge, and the eldest prince Qin Junhan trusts his subordinates very much, and the ministers of the court and the central government praise him! I know in my heart that the eldest prince is definitely the best choice for the future emperor! Moreover, the emperor is already old, and his reign is running out!

"Our Xue family shouldn't attract too much attention, it's enough to have you as a Wenchen, and I don't like these very much, if it's calm, I can choose to retire!" Xue Ruixuan's explanation was very simple, he didn't want his identity to be exposed, after all, as long as the eldest prince ascended the throne, he could return to his original life, but now that the chaos is coming, King Ping and the city are very deep, he doesn't want anyone in the Xue family to be used by him, and he doesn't want to deal with King Ping and his own family at the same time.

Xue Zeyan glanced at his second brother, "You already knew, right?" ”

"I don't know." Xue Qihao replied quickly, but immediately added, "But I know that the eldest brother often secretly leaves the Hou Mansion to go to the capital." ”

Xue Qihao is the most slippery of the three sons, don't look at him lingering among the flowers, often staying in fireworks restaurants, in fact, he loves cleanliness the most, and cleanliness is also the heaviest! Others say that he is a loser and have fun, but Xue Ruixuan knows that his younger brother is actually very powerful!

They all have their own appearances, Xue Ruixuan or Xue Qihao, they are all the same.

"But, eldest brother, ...... the eldest prince" Xue Zeyan had a question, but he still asked.

"The eldest prince, you and Qihao don't have to deliberately make friends, you can do it as usual!" Xue Ruixuan narrowed his eyes and said lightly.

Xue Qihao suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked, "The Hidden World Clan's side has already agreed." ”

"The Thousand Dye Elder of the Hidden World Clan has promised not to meddle in the affairs of the Xue family and the royal family! What we have to do is to let the Xue family really pass safely this time! Xue Ruixuan said calmly and rationally.

"Well, now that you all understand the dire situation of the present day, I will not say much more as a father. Rui'er's affairs are never interfered with by his father, as for Yan'er, you are the only one in our Xue family who is still in the court, and there is only one thing that my father asks of you, try to remain neutral, the Xue family does not need to be from the dragon now, and it is not to be monstrous and rich, but you must have the power to protect yourself! "Xue Cheng has followed the first emperor for many years, and he has already seen through it, and now the Xue family is only safe and sound on the bright side, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Xue family is now in the center of the whirlpool, and if he is not careful, he will be crushed!

He knew that his three sons were excellent, and he trusted them to handle the chaos that was coming, but as a father, he still wanted to remind them not to let anyone get lost in anything.

"Father, I met another incident in the Moon Shadow Building today!" After saying these things about the court, Xue Ruixuan turned his head to look at his father, "It's about my aunt!" ”

Suddenly, the sound of the tables and chairs stabbing in the room echoed harshly, and I saw that Xue Cheng above had already stood up, feeling a little excited, but after a few seconds, he sat down again, and the excitement in his eyes faded, but he still looked at Xue Ruixuan with a little hope waiting for his words.

Over the years, countless manpower and material resources have been spent, but the news they got is always disappointing, disappointed again and again, looking day after day, although they have never given up, but the confidence in their hearts is slowly weakening, and now, after 30 years, I heard the news in the capital again! Xue Cheng was inevitably excited!

"Rui'er, you say, I'll listen." Xue Cheng narrowed his eyes and listened very solemnly.

"Yes." Xue Ruixuan nodded, "I have already met my aunt's daughter." ”

"What?" Xue Cheng glared in shock, even Xue Qihao and Xue Zeyanjing looked incredulous.

Xue Ruixuan thought of the woman who couldn't stop crying at him, and his heart suddenly felt infinitely uncomfortable, few people can touch their feelings, Su Wanliang is still the first person besides his family! He took a slow breath and precipitated his feelings, "Father, she is Su Wanliang, the eldest lady of the Su family, and her appearance is almost exactly the same as her aunt back then!" She was thrilled to see my affection and seemed to know me. There is a birthmark on the wrist that is exactly the same as that of our Xue family. And ......"

"Moreover, this matter was personally told to me by Gu Moheng, the prince of Dingyuan! He seemed to know very well what happened back then! ”

"Bang", the inkstone, brushes, and some antiquities and calligraphy and paintings on the table all fell, Xue Ruixuan and the others looked up at their father in surprise, but found that their father, who had been calm and comfortable for so many years and had never panicked in the face of the enemy, was pale and in a trance at the moment. There is even more heart-wrenching sadness in his eyes!

"Father......" Several people hurriedly stepped forward and shouted hurriedly.

Seeing that Xue Cheng's eyes seemed to have a focal length, he grabbed Xue Ruixuan's arm tightly, and kept murmuring, "If it's really her, Rui'er, it's our Xue family who hurt her!" It's us who are sorry for her......"

The current enemy of Zhenguo Hou Xuecheng is not afraid of danger, and one husband is the pass, and ten thousand people are not open. This is what all the generals said about him back then!

But now, with such a tragic tone, such a regretful expression, such a grief-stricken face, he repeats such an unrelieved sentence repeatedly.

"Back then, why was it our Xue family! Why is it the Xue family's own ......! Xue Cheng's sad question was no longer answered!

Only one game of chess remains.

This victory, defeat, grievances, is it providence or ......

But there is no solution, no way.
