Situ Yi leaned over to support him, and said with a little anger: "Brother Chong, what are you doing?" The dignified heir of the Yasukuni Gong, what is it to bow down in the street like this? ”

"Big brother, Chong'er beg, please, let go of the second brother!" Situ Chong refused to get up, grabbed Situ Yi's arm that helped him, and begged almost with tears in his eyes: "Big brother, even if my mother and second brother are wrong in a thousand ways, they are all from our Situ family in the end. You have a lot of adults, just let the second brother go! ”

Although it is in the morning light, passers-by who get up early are still sparsely passing by. Looking at this scene in front of the door of Zhu Qihou, the footsteps of the people in cloth clothes who hurriedly avoided it were still mixed with flashing meaningful eyes.

Qin Nanxi stood behind the two brothers, at a loss. She knows very well that Situ Chong has been gentle and peaceful since he was a child, and he is not a person who disregards his identity in public. And Situ Yi's eyebrows gradually tightened, and the anger that was rare became stronger and stronger. What is it that can make one of them give up the honor in their blood and bones, and the other can change their usual calm and tolerant?

Seeing that he couldn't help him, Situ Yi suddenly increased the strength in his hand, and suddenly lifted it up, and picked up the thin Situ Chong, and said angrily: "Brother Chong, you have always been smart and reasonable, how can you say such nonsense?" Situ Kun has today, and he is to blame! In the case of Qianningdian back then, how many innocent people did he wronged for his own selfishness? Now, the old case is retried, and his crime has also been convicted by the three divisions after the same trial, what does it have to do with me? ”

"Big brother~" Situ Chong interrupted Situ Yi loudly, and suddenly lowered his voice again, pleading with pleading: "Big brother, with your status today, as long as you are willing to speak, how can you not save the second brother?" Big brother, Chong'er has respected you as a big hero since she was a child! Chong'er knows that my sister is your own sister, but second brother, isn't he also your own brother? We're brothers after all! The second brother is in trouble, how can you stand by the eldest brother! If my father has knowledge, he should also cry and fry our brothers! Situ Chong spoke to himself, with endless grievances and resentment in his words. He seldom inquired about court disputes, and his thoughts were only that his dear people and the orchestra were reunited, and as for the other rights and wrongs, he did not want to inquire and could not afford to ask.

Situ Yi was annoyed by what he said, but refused to explain, and only turned around and didn't look at him.

Situ Chong saw that his brother was indifferent and helpless, so he had to turn to Qin Nanxi. The thin lips trembled for a long time before he called softly, "Sister-in-law~"

Qin Nanxi was also stunned by this strange call, and after a moment, he was cramped to greet him. The flying eyelashes trembled slightly, and he never dared to raise his eyes to look at him.

"Sister-in-law, please persuade the eldest brother. Invite him, then ask him to go back to his house and visit his mother. Mother, she was very sick. Situ Chong also saw that he couldn't directly persuade Situ Yi to save his second brother for the time being, so he had to tell his mother's wish first. Perhaps the mother, who has always been smart and capable, can convince Situ Yi to save Situ Kun.

"The old lady is sick?" Qin Nanxi was a little surprised, because she often played with Situ Chong when she was a child, she often saw the Duchess of Guo. Although she is not close, she is an elder she is familiar with, and she can't help but be concerned when she hears that she is sick.

Situ Chong nodded, and said sadly: "In less than 100 days, the concubine, uncle and second brother have had accidents one after another, and my mother can't stand it and can't afford to get sick." Mother she, she said that she really wanted to see her eldest brother, but ......" Situ Chong said and looked at Situ Yi's cold side face, and swallowed the last words.

After all, he was still young. Later, he also heard many rumors, and it was impossible to distinguish between true and false. But what he clearly remembers is the day his eldest brother left the gate of the Yasukuni Mansion, the look of resentment and unwillingness, and the smug smile of his mother.

All this may be because of their only sister, Situ Linlang.

Although Situ Linlang is the only daughter of the old Jingguo Gong, it is not from his wife Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi, as the wife of the house, has a decisive say in the negotiation of Situ Linlang's marriage as an adult. This is well known.

And Situ Yi, because he is a man and the eldest son of the prince, is not very limited by his concubines. And he has been brilliant since he was a child, and when he was less than eight years old, he studied with the great Confucian Qin Zi'an. Therefore, in the selection of national students that year, Situ Yi easily came out on top, and for a time, among the many noble eunuchs in Chang'an, he was in the limelight. Originally, in the spring of the following year, he was supposed to enter the national prison and study with all the princes.

To everyone's surprise, Situ Yi, who was fourteen years old at the time, suddenly proposed that he had no intention of learning and insisted on joining the army with his father. and resolute-minded, no matter how his teacher Qin Zi'an persuaded him, he was unmoved.

Regarding Situ Yi's abnormal behavior at that time, it has always been a doubt in Situ Chong's heart. It wasn't until later, in the discussion of his subordinates, that he slowly pieced together the ins and outs of the matter.

It turned out that it was his mother Xiao Yi, who was bent on supporting her own children to enter the court as officials. Therefore, privately using his sister Situ Linlang's future marriage as a bargaining chip, forced the eldest brother to take the initiative to give up the opportunity to study in the country. And left the opportunity for the birth of the son of the country to the second brother Situ Kun.

Maybe it's because the emperor valued literature over military force back then, or maybe the eldest brother didn't see a trace of the temperament of a general. In short, the mother relieved to send the eldest brother to the bitter cold northern Xinjiang, thinking that she would be at ease from now on.

It's a pity that providence makes people and the sacred heart is unpredictable. Just four years later, the eldest brother established Qixun in the army and became the youngest general in the Great Chu State.

However, no matter what happened at the beginning, Situ Chong felt that his mother's behavior was just a mother's thought. She should be understood. Besides, the eldest brother is now high, and he really shouldn't care about these little things back then......

Qin Nanxi naturally didn't know about these old things in the deep house, and only looked at Situ Yi's back, in a dilemma.

I didn't know how to speak, but I heard Situ Yi sigh and said to Situ Chong in a deep voice: "Go back and serve Mrs. well." I'll visit her as soon as I'm done with what I'm doing. When the words landed, Situ Chong didn't speak again. Situ Yi grabbed Qin Nanxi, sent her into the carriage with half a hug, and jumped into the carriage with his feet up.

The coachman hesitated for a moment, gave an awkward salute to Situ Chong, who was alone on the side of the road, and hurriedly jumped into the carriage.

I only heard the crisp sound of the leather whip, and the carriage drove slowly.

The billowing dust and smoke raised by the wooden wheel left Situ Chong and the magnificent Great Sima General's Mansion behind. Situ Chong looked at the carriage that was far away in the dust and smoke, raised his sleeves, and bowed deeply. He swallowed the unwillingness and resentment in his heart, and with grievances, he came to ask for it in person. The bet is just the eldest brother's love for himself over the years, and the eldest brother's maintenance of the Situ Guo Mansion. As long as he can beg the eldest brother to open his mouth and save the second brother, then his home, the Yasukuni Mansion, will not be scattered from now on.

Qin Nanxi couldn't bear it all the time, couldn't help but look back, looked at Situ Chong who was getting smaller and smaller in the curtain, and hesitantly held Situ Yi's hand.

"Nanxi, there are some old things, if you don't know the inside story, don't persuade them. Since I have agreed, I will visit my wife as soon as possible. It's just a matter of favoritism, I really can't do it. Situ Yi held Qin Nanxi's hand instead, looked down at the begonia red on her wrist, and the sadness in her eyes was far away and deep.

Qin Nanxi looked at the corners of his mouth where the smile disappeared, and he had to purse his lips. Although she didn't know everything about the old things, she also heard a lot from Mama Cheng. She knew that the lifelong regret of her deceased mother was always the deepest thorn in his heart.

Looking at his sad expression, Qin Nanxi only felt that his heart was also colic with him. However, the parting of life and death, the severance of blood, is not a wound that words can comfort.

The forehead was gently pressed against his shoulder, and his hands were clasped tightly, quietly accompanying him. He will understand that in this world, he still has her.

Situ Yi was slightly stunned, and his endless gratitude melted away the chill in his eyes. Raising his hand to take her into his arms, he hugged him tightly, the heaviest concern in the world.

Since their hearts are connected, why do they need words, the two of them were silent all the way, relying on each other to go out of the city.

Outside the Golden Light Gate, a smooth road, carrying the morning light, all the way to the west.
