prison

"Chen Guanzhi, someone has come to see you." Yan Rong said, who knew that Chen Guanzhi didn't get up, I don't know if he fell asleep or what.

"Through." Xia Linfeng shouted softly.

"Senior brother?" Chen Guanzhi stood up in response, and when he turned around, his face saw the tears in Chen Guanzhi's eyes.

"Uncle Xia, I'll go out first, you guys talk, there's not much time, let's make a long story short." Yan Rong said.

"Okay, thank you Xiaorong." Xia Linfeng said.

Yan Rong shook his head and left, and when he turned around, he saw two people looking at each other through the prison door.

"Why is Senior Brother here?" Chen Guanzhi was originally surprised, but after thinking about it, he said self-deprecatingly.

"I'm going to come and see what you've become?" Xia Linfeng said.

"Master is right, I can't compare to you after all, family background, status, official position, character, senior brother, why, Master decided my fate from the beginning." Chen Guanzhi said.

"Guanzhi, you are wrong, Master has never given up on you, your fate is all in your own hands, if you weren't greedy at that time, how could you?" Xia Linfeng said.

"Don't talk about the things of the past, back then, you didn't understand anything, you didn't understand anything." Chen Guanzhi said.

"I don't understand, I just went out that day, and you were kicked out of the house, and my father said that it was because your hands were not clean and I kicked you out, but I don't believe it, I have sent you things many times, why don't you explain, why can't you tell me what happened, Guanzhi, I want you to tell me." Xia Linfeng said.

"Senior brother, don't talk about it, Master and his old man won't let him say it, let him go over the past, I don't care, I'm already in prison, even if I understand the dealings, what can I do?" Chen Guanzhi slowly wiped away his tears and said.

"Guanzhi, I'm coming to see you, it's also a narrative, I know you want to save your son, I will do my best to help you, so as to resolve the grievances between us." Xia Linfeng said.

"Senior brother, are you willing to save my son?" Chen Guanzhi asked.

"Your fault doesn't have to be attributed to other people, besides, if you and I have the friendship of the same disciple and brotherhood, then we will be brothers for life." Xia Linfeng said.

"Senior brother, can you still come to see me on the day of my execution?" Chen Guanzhi said.

"I'll send you away." Xia Linfeng said.

"Okay."

After Xia Linfeng walked out, he was always worried in his heart, Xia Linfeng didn't believe what Chen Guanzhi said, Chen Guanzhi's character Xia Linfeng understood, but how did he get here step by step. Xia Linfeng was about to meet someone.

Linfeng Mountain

"Master, are you still old?" Xia Linfeng came to Linfeng Mountain and saw the mountain stream and flowing water, which is called Linfeng, because there is a friendship between the master and his father, so he was called Linfeng from the moment he was born, and later, the master saw himself and said the meaning of his name, Xia Linfeng understood the existence of this mountain.

"Uncle Xia, maybe the old gentleman is out." Yan Rong has been with him, and when he saw that no one had come to the door of the house, he persuaded Xia Linfeng to say.

"No, Master is probably resting, let's wait here." Xia Linfeng said.

"Yes, Uncle Xia." Yan Rong saw that Xia Linfeng's legs and feet were not very convenient, so he found a piece of wood from the mountain forest and asked Xia Linfeng to sit there and wait.

This mountain is the place where Yan Rong rode a carriage for two hours to arrive, if there is such a mountain in the capital, why is it not written on the map given by the military advisor, it is really strange, I have to say that Uncle Xia's master is a strange person.

"Facing the wind?" Just as Yan Rong was still looking around, the door was pushed open, and an old hoarse voice sounded.

"Master, are you awake?" Xia Linfeng hurriedly got up to greet him.

"Linfeng, I knew it wasn't for you, who else could be here." The old man seems to have a clear eye, he is groping for Xia Linfeng's sleeves everywhere, and the old master lives alone on the entire mountain, which is too desolate.

"Linfeng, why are there still people with you?" The old master asked suddenly.

Yan Rong was taken aback, he had tried to keep his voice as low as possible, but he didn't expect an old man to hear it so clearly.

"Master, she is not an outsider, she is a child of the Yan family, and a daughter of Yan Jing." Xia Linfeng said.

"It turned out to be that kid's daughter, isn't that the female general of our Great Apocalypse?" The old master smiled and said.

"Master, why isn't Whispering here?" Xia Linfeng helped his master into the room and asked when he found that there was no one else in the room.

"I sent him down the mountain, otherwise how do you think I know the news of the capital." The old master fumbled and poured two cups of tea for Xia Linfeng and Yan Rong.

"Master, then you should also know about Chen Guanzhi!" Xia Linfeng didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.

"Criminal, I don't come all year round, and you finally came once for his business, and before I get angry, you leave quickly." The old man's face changed and he said.

"Master, I just want to know what happened back then, why there was such hatred between you, what happened, I haven't asked once for so many years, but Guan Zhi is about to die, do you also want to leave this regret?" Xia Linfeng said.

"Well, I'll tell you, he is an arrogant and black-hearted villain, you shouldn't have brought him into Xia Mansion back then, but I was blind, and I actually felt that he was talented and intelligent to accept him as an apprentice, it really shouldn't be, and now, he is in prison, that is his retribution, retribution." The old man said excitedly.

"Master, he shouldn't be such a person!" Xia Linfeng still argued.

"That's it, that's it, then I'll tell you the truth, the junior brother you have in mind almost caused your entire Xia Mansion to destroy your family, and he is a scourge." The old man said.

"Master, what did you say, raiding the family and exterminating the clan?" Xia Linfeng was stunned, and his face also felt that things were not so simple.

"Child, I am already a dying person, this matter has been pressed in my heart for many years, and I am only saying it now to let you remember that there is no absolute right or wrong in this world, only to save your own life, your own family, even if the older generation has made mistakes, let him go if he has grievances, don't dig deeper." The old man said.

"Master, you say." Xia Linfeng said.

"Back then, when I first entered the mansion, I found that you were smart and clever, and found that you didn't know the origin of your name, my Linfeng Mountain, let your father take it to name you, I was happy in my heart, and I recognized that you would be my apprentice in the future, and later, when you grew up, Chen Guanzhi entered the Xia Mansion, this child looked poor, but you have a very good relationship, he studied with you, and among the companions that your father chose for you, only Chen Guanzhi was the best."

"You are my apprentices, teaching you martial arts, morality, economy, and doing things. But I found that Chen Guanzhi was thinking about gaining fame and fame, and he would not give up, he studied hard, which I was very pleased with but sometimes worried, if he succeeded in such efforts, it was fine, but if he did not succeed, he was likely to go mad. ”

"So, I gave him some less homework, but I didn't expect it, the inferiority complex in his heart has turned into hatred, he is respectful to the people of Xia Mansion on the surface, and he has a deep brotherly affection for you, but I didn't expect him to often run to the door of your father's study to listen to the news."

"That is, later, he held a piece of evidence, it was a piece of evidence when your father bent the law for personal gain, your father did nothing wrong in his life, but that time it was for your grandfather to do a foolish thing, but he was caught by Chen Guanzhi, he threatened him, your father promised him to be glorious and rich, and to allow him to be a high-ranking official."

"But when I arrived at the study that day, I told your father that in order to have no worries, I sent Chen Guanzhi away and sent him to a far, far away place, so that he would never come back to the capital. He happened to hear it, he thought I was going to kill him, he took the torch, took the evidence, and prepared to burn down the Xia Mansion and denounce your father. “

"Later, I personally pleaded with him, and your father also tried his best to ensure that he could get the top spot in the exam, he didn't want to, but your father used you to force him, Chen Guanzhi finally agreed, he voluntarily left the Xia Mansion, and he didn't say anything about it for the rest of his life, and then later, he got his wish and was promoted, your father was still worried when he was dying, and he was afraid that Chen Guanzhi would be unfavorable to you when he said what had happened, but he didn't expect that he did keep his promise."

"He is dying now, and he has never thought of pulling you into the water, Linfeng, you say that you are a teacher, and you really can't guess whether he is good or evil." The old man said with tears in his eyes.

"Master, why hasn't anyone told me about this?" Xia Linfeng also said with tears in his eyes.

"Your father won't let it, I won't let it, Chen Guanzhi won't let him either, Linfeng, you are an emotional, elegant, and gentle person, we don't want you to wade into this troubled water, just listen to this matter as a story, don't ask again." The old man said.

"So, from beginning to end, I am the mastermind of this matter, if I hadn't been greedy to bring Chen Guanzhi into the mansion, would there be no such thing, Chen Guanzhi's heart would not be full of jealousy and hatred, my father would not have been afraid for the rest of his life, and I would not have been tortured like this." Xia Linfeng said.

"Linfeng, you don't have anything wrong with this matter, what happened is what happened, this matter has been pressed in the heart of the teacher for many years, say it today, the teacher will be satisfied, and the past things have nothing to do with me." The old man said slowly with his eyes closed.

"Master......"

"Don't be afraid, Master is aging naturally, Master will be willing to die happily and comfortably, Master doesn't have to worry about the future, just tell you, and also tell the children of the Yan family, there will be a lot of things in life, don't blindly care about something, you have to identify the Great Dao, so as not to read those sage books in vain." The old man said weakly.

"Master, you tell Linfeng, did you drive the whisper down the mountain, if the apprentice doesn't come, will he never see your last face?" Xia Linfeng said.

"Child, whisper and let him go on his own, I really didn't expect you to come, since you and I have a master-apprentice relationship, I want you to bring a few words to Chen Guanzhi for the teacher." After the old master finished speaking, he leaned close to Xia Linfeng's ear and said a few words, and it didn't take long for the old master to lie on Xia Linfeng's shoulder and stop talking.
