The wind blew in softly from outside the door, caressing people's faces again and again. The sandalwood incense offered in front of the Buddha is quietly burning, and the cigarette smoke is curling. There are two cups of tea on the low table on the side, and the tea fragrance is faint.

The monk was a smart man, and he knew what to see and what not to see, so he had already retreated with interest, and at this moment only the two monarchs and ministers sat opposite each other in the hall.

The emperor was draped in a black coat, and the corners of his clothes were covered with dust from the woods, and even his shoes were stained with a little mud.

Shao An saw the emperor rushing in such a hurry regardless of his image, his expression changed from doubt to understanding, it seems that the emperor is going to resign and return. Thinking of this, Shao An didn't know how to face the person in front of him.

The emperor looked around and said with a slight smile: "This is where you and Hong Yi are married." ”

"Yes." Shao was silent for a moment and said frankly, "After learning the news, I have been hesitating whether to go or stay. In the process of going around and around, I found that I had come here, and I remembered that I had also worshiped him here and made a vow of 'never leaving'. ”

Never leave - never separate, never abandon. The emperor finally believed that Shao An would not leave.

Shao An smiled bitterly and sighed: "It's providence to want to know him, my fate with him is intermittent or intermittent, he resents me or hates, it's all up to fate." ”

The emperor also sighed: "One death and one life is friendship." One poor and one rich is knowing the state of communication. One is expensive and one is cheap, friendship is seeing. ”①

This almost enlightening sentence made Shao An almost cry, and slowly recalled the deep meaning of the emperor's words, and became much calmer. Yes, he and his brother have experienced life and death, rich and poor, high and low, and what else is unbearable.

At this time, the guards in the palace finally came to escort them, and knelt down in front of the temple gate, and the scene was quite spectacular. When the emperor heard the movement outside the door, he got up and opened the door, and saw the general on duty in the palace kneeling down on one knee with his sword pressed on his sword, claiming to be derelict in his duties.

In fact, this can't blame them for improper guards, after all, it was the emperor's temporary intention to leave the palace in a hurry, and he only informed his cronies and entourage, and it is understandable that the guards did not follow.

"It happened suddenly, so you have to wait for you to get even." The emperor stood up, against the sun, with a careless arrogance on his face, "Go back to the palace." ”

The officer on duty hurriedly got up, and when he looked up, he saw that the person whom the guards had been searching for was behind the emperor at this moment. He was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Shao Xiang to be in such a dilapidated temple.

The emperor stepped out of the palace gate and walked down the stairs, and Shao An followed him three steps away. When he was about to walk to the temple gate, Shao An seemed to feel something, and slowly turned around, but saw the monk standing in the distance and looking at him, with a shallow smile in his eyes.

Everyone was just about to drive back to the palace, but they didn't expect to bump into the prosperous King of Jin head-on.

King Jin wanted to see Shao An, but learned that the prime minister was missing. So I had to ask to see the fifth brother, and the emperor actually left the palace. In desperation, King Jin followed the guards all the way from the palace, searched and searched, and came to this remote and barren place.

Seeing the holy car, the King of Jin didn't have time to salute the emperor, and couldn't wait to ask, "What is the situation?" ”

When the emperor saw this unlucky brother, he was furious, and said sharply: "I still want to ask you, what is the situation of entering Beijing without being called?" ”

"......" King Jin was stupid, and looked at the emperor with his mouth open, it was the first time he had seen the fifth brother be so angry with him. King Jin seemed to look at Shao An for help, but saw Shao An's expression indifferent, looking like he didn't care about himself.

When there was a lot of trouble, another person came to intervene, and that person was Gao Wei.

It is said that Gao Wei was afraid that King Jin would cause trouble, so he followed him all the way. At first glance, when he saw that the emperor and Shao Xiang were there, he was taken aback, and after saluting, he hurriedly said to the two: "It's okay, it's okay!" ”

The emperor and Shao An were so smart that they understood that Gao Wei was referring to Li Hongyi's matter, and they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

But King Jin still didn't relent: "You're fine, I'm fine!" What the hell is going on? Why did you lose ......?"

"Shut up." The emperor loudly interrupted King Jin's unfinished words, "What is the crime of entering Beijing without permission?" ”

"I ...... I just want to see ......" King Jin's voice is getting smaller and smaller, and he is not stupid, he understands that the reason for the fifth brother's anger is not to enter Beijing without permission, but to Hongyi.

"Come in." The emperor turned around and took the lead in entering the temple. King Jin followed behind the fifth brother slowly, and still did not give up before entering the door, and turned his head to look at Shao An again. However, Shao An just raised his eyes to look at the sky, and didn't care about the scene in front of him.

When the two went in to talk, Shao An asked Gao Wei coldly: "General Gao, don't you have anything to say to Shao?" ”

As soon as Gao Wei heard Shao An's tone, he knew that he was angry. After all, it was he who prevented their brothers from recognizing each other at the beginning, but now in the forbidden army barracks, this incident happened under his nose, Shao Anyan could not be angry.

Gao Wei stretched out his hand to invite Shao An to the side for a detailed discussion, and the two walked up the steps and stood still in front of the temple gate. Gao Wei saw that he was far away from the guards, so he said: "Shao Xiang is relieved, he didn't say much, but he knows that he has a younger brother." ”

"How much is this called?" Shao An really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Don't be impatient, he only knows that he has a younger brother, but he doesn't know that person is you!" Gao Wei hurriedly explained, and then recounted the situation from the beginning.

※※※※※

Time goes back an hour ago......

"I have a younger brother?!" Wu Ming's eyes widened and he stared at King Jin in disbelief. He thought he was an orphan floating alone, without a father or mother, without relatives and without a reason. However, God did not abandon him, telling him that he still had a younger brother in the vast sea of people. Wu Ming's long-lonely heart finally produced a trace of warmth.

"Where is my brother? What's his name? How old are you? What does it look like? Wu Ming grabbed King Jin's shoulders and asked repeatedly.

King Jin was also shocked in his heart, looking at Wu Ming dumbfounded, and immediately realized that something was wrong. An'er is obviously in the capital, so close to Hongyi, how could she not recognize him? And Brother Huang, why didn't you tell Hong Yi about the past?

Just as King Jin was thinking wildly, Gao Wei finally ran out of breath to relieve the siege.

"Lord Jin, you ...... No...... When Gao Wei, the ......, heard that the person King Jin was looking for was called "Li Hongyi", he understood that King Jin had no idea. But he wanted to explain, but he was hindered by Wu Ming's presence, and he didn't know where to start.

King Jin saw that Gao Wei was humming and chirping for a long time, and he didn't say a complete sentence, so he asked, "He has amnesia, isn't he?" ”

"Yes."

"Why do you have amnesia?"

"I don't know."

"He doesn't remember who he is? Don't remember who his brother is? ”

"Huh." Gao Wei laughed dryly, "He still has a younger brother?" Ben will not know. ”

Gao Wei knew it, but he wanted to lie, obviously deliberately concealing Hongyi. King Jin looked at him suspiciously, his eyes full of doubts.

Gao Wei coughed, looked at Wu Ming beside him, and saw that his forehead was covered with cold sweat, knowing that his headache had happened again, so he said, "Wu Ming, you step aside." ”

"Nope." Wu Ming said resolutely, "He knows my background and is the only person who knows my brother's whereabouts." ”

"Do you dare to disobey? And is there any military discipline? ”

Wu Ming knelt down and pressed his forehead against the cold ground to relieve the heart-rending pain. But he insisted on his mouth: "Even if the general kills me, I will stay here." ”

Gao Wei's heart was anxious and painful, and he had a premonition that he would not be able to end.

King Jin didn't know Wu Ming's illness, and felt that Gao Wei was bullying his friend, so he hurriedly helped Wu Ming up, and smiled at Gao Wei: "General Gao, since he wants to stay, let him stay." I just want to ask the general why he didn't help him find his brother. ”

King Jin did not rashly demolish Gao Wei, but tactfully asked him why he didn't tell Wu Ming the truth.

Gao Wei sighed and said, "There is wine today and drunk today, and tomorrow will be sad tomorrow." ”

King Jin seemed to understand, Gao Wei didn't want Hong Yi to recall the fiasco of the year. But is it really worth it to erase one's memory for this?

So King Jin retorted: "Draw the knife and cut off the water, the water will flow more, and raise a glass to eliminate sorrow and sorrow." "What should be faced always has to be faced, so why hide it?

Gao Wei shook his head, "Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon." "Now that you have been born again, why bother to mention the past?

King Jin didn't expect Gao Wei to be a military general, so he actually wanted to fight him with poetry! Although King Jin doesn't love poetry and books, he can't be stage frightened, he meditated for a long time before saying, "Hmm...... The young man does not work hard, and the boss is sad. ”

Gao Wei continued: "If you are happy to be in time, how can you stay in Laiz? ”

King Jin was already poor in donkey skills, and he really had no choice, so he held back a sentence: "...... How long can Israel get good for others? ”

Gao Wei: "......! ”

Wu Ming: "......?" ”

※※※※※

After Shao An listened to Gao Wei's narration, he couldn't cry or laugh. The two of them are really amazing, and they use Hong Yi to answer with poetry if they don't understand literature and ink. Although in the eyes of a person like Shao An, their poems can be said to be messy, but fortunately, the overall meaning is correct, except for the last sentence of King Jin.

"It seems that King Jin does not agree with us hiding from Hongyi." Shao An hesitated, "Otherwise, let's tell my brother the truth." ”

Gao Wei immediately jumped to his feet when he heard this, "It's all here, why are you still undecided?" There is no turning back when you open the bow, and there is no turning back. ”

Shao Anxin thought that this was indeed the case, and now this matter is no longer a matter of him and his brother, and it also involves many people in the know. Now he is really hard to ride a tiger.

"That's it, if you can hide it, you can hide it, and if you can't hide it, forget it." Shao Abe felt tired, "Then how did you lie?" ”

"The fact that he has a brother is undeniable. The king of Jin said that he had never met his brother, but had only heard him mention it. As for his life experience, King Jin said that he met him in Pingshui and did not know. ”

Shao An smiled bitterly, it's really a lie that can't stand scrutiny. Then he asked, "Pingshui meet?" Where did you meet? ”

Gao Wei discovered the loophole and suddenly realized: "Yes, King Jin has never been out of Chang'an since he was a child. Fortunately, Wu Ming didn't ask, otherwise he would really have to go. ”

Shao An rolled his eyes, and only now did he react. But does an afterthought work? So he continued to ask, "What about the name?" ”

"I can only truthfully say that my name is Li Hongyi. He also said that it was such a coincidence, the name and character were the same. ”

Shao Anxin slandered, but Gao Wei helped him get the words, if his brother doubts why it is so coincidental in the future, it will be up to Gao Wei to explain it when the time comes.

Gao Wei hadn't thought about anything so far away, and what he was currently nervous about was the secret conversation between the emperor and the king of Jin in the palace. He rubbed his hands and asked uneasily, "King Jin is notoriously unreasonable. If the emperor can't persuade him, won't we be busy in vain? ”

Shao An sneered: "It's not a waste of work, isn't this matter becoming more and more complicated by us now?" ”
