After a long journey beyond the limit for half a month, Guan Ping led his brother Guan Suo across thousands of miles, and finally arrived at the Han capital Chengdu City after hardships.

Kanfu.

At this moment, the faces of dozens of people in the Guan family were full of compassion and sadness, just because Guan Yu, the prince they respected the most, was now in danger of dying.

In the master bedroom, there are also many people at this time, Guan Xing, the second son of the young man, kneeling on the side of Guan Yu's bed with a sad face, and his wife standing on the side with his young son in her arms.

On the other side, Hu Shi, an old woman who was also full of white hair and wrinkles and was close to sixty years old, stood aside, serving Guan Yu attentively.

And Guan Ping's wife Zhao is holding Xiao Guan Ding, who is more than seven years old, and next to him is his second wife Yang Zhen, Yang Zhen is also holding a lively and lovely girl who is about five years old, and Guan Suo's wife Huang Wudie on the side.

As for his daughter Guan Feng, when she was in Jiangling three years ago, she also organized a wedding led by Guan Yu and presided over by Ma Liang, and married Ma Liang's son.

As if he didn't know how long he had been asleep, Guan Yu, who was lying quietly in front of the bed, woke up slightly and opened his eyes, so he said softly in a weak tone: "Ping'er and Suo'er haven't arrived yet?" ”

Hearing this, Hu Shi hurriedly covered the quilt for him, and comforted him softly with his hand: "Husband, don't think too much, you should take good care of your body, Yangzhou is thousands of miles away from Chengdu, and it will take a certain amount of time for Ping'er to return even if he receives the news." ”

"Nope. Madam, don't be too comforting for your husband, I know best how my body is, I am now at the end of the day, before I die, I just want to meet Ping'er and entrust the future. ”

After finishing speaking, Guan Yu held Hu's jade hand with both hands, and said with a stubborn look on his face.

"Ping'er, where have you arrived?"

"For Father, I don't know if this remnant can support your arrival."

After waiting for a long time again, Guan Yu was a little impatient on his face and said to himself.

Time passed minute by minute, and the room fell silent, and everyone looked out at the same time, looking at the door of the mansion has been silent, and they can't help but be extremely nervous.

Everyone is thinking, Guan Yu's most eager wish at present is to see Guan Ping for the last time, can he make it?

Just when everyone was thinking wildly, a sudden sound of footsteps outside the mansion sounded, and a maid strode into the room and said in a loud voice: "Mrs. Qiyu." The eldest prince has returned home. ”

"Ah, Ping'er is finally back, please invite him in."

Just fell? Guan Yu's expression suddenly cheered up? Hurriedly forcibly got up and leaned on the couch and said in a deep voice.

Seeing him like this, Hu Shi on the side had to pick up a quilt and put it on him.

The tension that the rest of the people were hanging in their throats suddenly disappeared at this moment.

Don't wait for the maid to summon you? The sound of a slightly heavy but determined footstep came sharply? In a moment, the majestic bodies of Guan Ping and Guan Suo stood in front of the room? The face is full of wind and dust, weathered and frosty, and the sweat droplets have not been wiped away? His eyes were full of worry and sadness.

"Husband."

Looked at? Zhao Lin and Huang Wudie were the first to praise.

It's just that his father's beard is now white, and his red cheeks are getting haggard and emaciated at the moment? I can't help but think of the news that I am critically ill? Guan Ping's eyes suddenly burst into tears, and the sadness on his face swept through the room.

Guan Xing, Zhao, and Hu also cried bitterly.

In the next second, Guan Ping quickly ran to the bed and knelt on his knees, crying: "The child is not filial." In recent years, because of his busy official duties, he has never been filial to his father's knees? The child is worthy of his father's nurturing grace. ”

At this moment, Guan Ping blamed himself deeply from the bottom of his heart.

Since he crossed this era? Although Guan Yu often demands him strictly, his attitude is extremely strict? But Guan Ping can also feel that his father's love for him is very strong.

The father-son relationship between the two is extremely deep.

"Ping'er. You don't have to blame yourself, because your father has been in Chengdu since your uncle's death? Jing Xiang's affairs were entrusted to you? But you didn't disappoint your father? Not only did he defeat the invading enemy and protect the counties of Jingxiang, but he also went down the river to destroy Wu and expand the territory for the Han Dynasty, which greatly enhanced the cohesion and morale of our army. ”

"Since you have made great contributions to the country, although you are not in front of your father's knees, you are also extremely satisfied with your father's heart."

For a while, seeing Guan Ping kneeling on the ground, Guan Yu's face instantly showed a strong sense of concern, and he stood up to help Guan Ping, but Jian Zheng said in a very light tone.

Seeing the compassion and tears of everyone in the room, Guan Yu's face suddenly turned pale, and he shouted: "Wipe away your tears, my Guan family is all iron-clad men, birth, old age, sickness and death are natural principles, you don't have to grieve for your father." ”

"Come to think of it, for my father's life, I followed the first emperor to the north and south, and it was all nine deaths to kill the enemy, from weak step by step to strong, and now my father can still see Ping'er go straight down the river to destroy Jiangdong, all according to the land south of the Yangtze River and fight against the pseudo-Wei court, for the father is very comforted, even if he dies now, there is no regret!"

After asking the family again, Guan Yu's face suddenly became solemn, and he took Hu's hands and said, "Madam, you take the children to wait outside, because your husband wants to talk to Ping'er alone." ”

"Good!"

Looking at the decisive gaze in her husband's eyes, Hu Shi was stunned for a moment, and then agreed.

Immediately, she led everyone out and locked the door, leaving Guan Ping alone with Guan Yu.

When there were only two people left, Guan Yu hurriedly asked Guan Ping to sit on the bed, his expression suddenly came to his senses, and he said loudly: "Ping'er, quickly tell your father, how did you destroy Wu in a battle along the river?" ”

Seeing his father's irrepressible excitement, Guan Ping calmed down and told the battle report in detail at that time, and told him the strategic layout and tactical planning at that time.

It took about two quarters of an hour to finish speaking, and Guan Yu couldn't help but smile on his weak face, a feeling of pride.

After all, no matter when, parents have the heart to hope that their son will become a dragon, and the better their children, the more superior they will be as parents.

"Ping'er. You've really grown up, and now you're much better than you're a father. ”

Guan Yu praised with a smile on his face.

"The father has a good reputation, and the child's achievements today are also due to his father's cultivation over the years."

Guan Ping replied modestly.

After talking for a while, Guan Yu suddenly looked relieved, and said in a deep voice: "As early as eight years ago, my father led the Northern Expedition to take the opportunity to flood the Seventh Army to break the Wei army. ”

"After the father, he swore that he would destroy the rule of the Sun family with his own hands in this life, but the follow-up situation was that the rule of the Sun family was relatively stable, and our army was unable to fight with Cao Wu on two fronts, which led to the destruction of Wu in the end, but with the passage of time, the body of the father was not as good as before, I thought that there was no way to see the day of the destruction of Wu in this life, but ......"

"Ping'er, you have fulfilled this wish for your father, and my father has to thank you here."

The last words, Guan Yu said solemnly.

Hearing this, Guan Ping bowed his head and immediately said: "Father, we are all a family, the so-called repayment of father's debts is not only the father's wish, but also the child's wish, and the destruction of Wu is also the foundation of the Han Dynasty, and the child must do his best." ”

"Ping'er, you have this ambition, even if your father dies, you can rest assured, my father believes that you will be able to assist the Son of Heaven to prosper the Han Dynasty, and at the same time serve the country, Ping'er, as the eldest brother, you must take on the revitalization of the family business, support your mother, and take care of your younger brothers and sisters, you may be able to do it?"

"Don't worry about the father, the child will definitely play the role of the eldest brother."

For a while, Guan Ping showed sadness and forced himself to give up.

The father and son had a long conversation behind closed doors, and about half an hour passed slowly, and after a discussion, Guan Yu's weak cheeks were filled with more and more proud and joyful faces.

Because his favorite eldest son Guan Ping has matured and grown up, and has the ability to be stronger than him, enough to inherit his mantle.

After speaking, Guan Ping instantly got up from the bed and knelt down in front of the couch, tears fell like rain in his eyes, full of grief, and sobbed: "Father...... Father, rest quickly, and the child believes that you will be well. ”

"Ping'er, don't cry!"

Hearing this, Guan Yu gently wiped Guan Ping's tears with a handkerchief next to the bed, and said softly: "Ping'er, your father is already a person who is fast about six, and he has a long life, and now you have fulfilled your wish for your father, and you are already satisfied with your father." ”

"Ping'er doesn't have to worry too much!"

After a moment of persuasion, Guan Pingxing became more and more sad, and suddenly threw himself into Guan Yu's arms and became painful, like a child.

For a while, the father and son hugged each other.

……

Outside.

Everyone in the Guan Mansion couldn't help but gather together, and through the window, they vaguely noticed the father and son hugging each other and crying, looking sad, Guan Xing groaned: "Although the eldest brother has not seen his father for several years, the family relationship with his father is still as stable as a reef in the sea!" ”
