It was sunset when Yang Ting and Yang Xianrong returned to the Sheep Mansion, and as soon as the two stepped into the door, a small servant greeted them, bowed their heads and said, "Young Master, Miss, the Lord is waiting for you in the side hall." ”

"Got it." Yang Ting nodded, and walked to the side hall with Yang Xianrong.

"My father let us out, so there won't be any problems, right?" Yang Xianrong looked at Yang Ting worriedly, and said, "Or did we come back too late and make my father unhappy?" ”

Yang Ting smiled and patted Yang Xianrong's shoulder, and said, "It's okay, don't worry, there is a second brother." ”

"You?" Yang Xianrong pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "You are often unable to protect yourself." ”

The two entered the side hall one after the other, and saw their father Yang Xuanzhi half-closed his eyes, half-lying and half-sitting on a low couch, with a smile on his face. The two looked at each other and respectfully greeted their father. Seeing that the two of them were coming, Yang Xuanzhi sat up straight, looked at Yang Xianrong in a rather soft tone, and said, "I'm back, are you still happy?" ”

Yang Xianrong didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Yang Xuanzhi's gourd, but he looked kind, thinking that he was in a very good mood, so he boldly replied: "Happy." We spent a long time in the bazaar and bought a lot of things. As she spoke, she took out something from her sleeve, held it in both hands and handed it to Yang Xuanzhi, and said, "This is the pair I bought for my father, and it is a mascot that can bless my father." ”

Yang Xuanzhi glanced at the accessories given by his daughter, a boxy object, engraved with two lines of inscriptions on each side, and wore it with a four-color rope on his head, Yang Xuanzhi smiled and hung it on his waist, and said: "After all, it is the daughter who is filial, and I only hope to sacrifice Rong to be another woman's wife in the future, and don't forget that your parents are." ”

Yang Xianrong frowned and wondered, "How could it be?" How can you forget the grace of your parents? ”

"That's good, that's good." Yang Xuanzhi laughed a few times and asked, "Since you went out to have fun today, have you met anyone?" ”

"Absolutely." Seeing that his father was so interested, Yang Xianrong immediately said: "Brother Ma Yu met a few days ago, but today I still know a little brother, he is ...... What is the son of Hou, called ......"

Yang Ting saw that Yang Xianrong was hesitant, and immediately answered: "Back to my father, it is the son of the Marquis of Hanguang, named Liu Yao." ”

"Hanguang Township? The Huns? Yang Xuanzhi shook his head, waved his hand, and said: "A foreigner, after all, he can't become a climate, not to mention that Liu Yuan may not be a peaceful person, if he causes trouble in the future, don't implicate Yangfu, you don't get too close to his son." ”

"But ......"

Yang Xianrong was about to speak, but was pressed down by Yang Ting, only to hear Yang Ting say "yes" respectfully.

Out of the side hall, Yang Xianfang asked sullenly: "Second brother, you obviously like that Liu Yao very much, why do you want to promise your father not to associate with him?" ”

"There are things that some people have that my father doesn't necessarily need to know." Yang Ting looked at Yang Xianrong, who was confused, and said with a smile: "You are still young, and you don't understand the twists and turns in it, and you will know it when you grow up." ”

"You mean, are we still going to play with that Liu Yao?"

"Of course." Yang Ting showed a hint of an incomprehensible smile and said, "Not only to play, but also to have fun." ”

Yang Ting really didn't just talk, the next day, he went to the house of the Hanguang Township Marquis and sent his own greeting sticker. At that time, Liu Yao was practicing martial arts with his father Liu Yuan, and he thought that his father's guest had arrived, so when the sticker was delivered to him, he was quite surprised, he was not yet ten years old, and because of his thinness, he looked even smaller, and someone came to visit him seriously, which was really much unexpected to him, and also to Liu Yuan's expectations.

Liu Yuan joked with a smile: "My son is really big, and he is also famous outside." ”

Liu Yao opened the name sticker and immediately understood what was going on, so he generously handed the name sticker to his father and said: "This person is also a child of an official family, I met yesterday, but I didn't expect to come to the door today." ”

Liu Yuan twisted his beard in his hand and frowned: "Yang family? ”

"Father knows about this person?"

"I don't know about this person, but the Yang family used to be a famous family, but it has declined in recent years." Liu Yuan sighed: "Now the master of the house is named Xuan, but he is a mediocre person, not to mention the reputation of his ancestors, he is still a fly camp dog," Liu Yuan said and threw the name sticker back to Liu Yao, and said: "It's not the person who should be friends." ”

"But this is his son, who doesn't seem to be a person with any thoughts, just like his son, just a good martial artist."

"Silly boy, you are still young, but family style is very important to a person." When Liu Yuan said this, he looked at Liu Yao's somewhat lost expression, patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said, "But what you said is not bad, this person may be a chivalrous man." You choose to make friends, and your father doesn't interfere, but you should let your father pass by, you are simple-minded, don't let people take advantage of it. ”

Liu Yaofu was happy again, and his eyes rolled and he said, "Father said that he would take his son to hunt when it warmed up in a few days, can you call him along?" First, he is a good martial artist, and secondly, he also let his father palm his eyes. ”

Liu Yuan responded in one bite: "Okay, my son wants to call a guest, what's not to do?" ”

Liu Yao was even more excited, hurriedly said goodbye to his father, and trotted all the way back to his small courtyard. Yang Ting was already waiting in the house, but he did not stop to sit, but looked around from time to time, looking at the simple hut.

Liu Yao entered the house, gave a salute first, and said, "Let Brother Yang wait for a long time." ”

The sheep was very busy and returned the salute: "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

Liu Yao smiled, let Yang Ting sit down in a good manner, and then said: "Every day at this time, I have to accompany my father to practice." ”

"That's what I disturbed."

"No, no, I rarely have a friend, and my father is very surprised." Liu Yao waved his hand and said, "After a while, when the weather is warm, my father will take me to hunt, and I will also invite Brother Yang to join me." ”

This invitation surprised Yang Ting, with his qualifications, naturally he had never entered the eyes of these sons, so he asked a little excitedly: "Me?" ”

Liu Yao nodded vigorously: "Brother Yang is willing?" ”

"It's an honor."

When Liu Yao heard this, he showed a childlike smile, and said, "I have many brothers, but I don't have many friends. ”

Yang Ting immediately said: "Although there are many brothers, Master Hou asked you to accompany him to practice martial arts, which shows that he loves you very much." ”

"My father was really kind to me." Liu Yao scratched his head embarrassedly, and continued: "But the more like this, the more suspicious people are, after all, I am just a righteous son." ”

Yang Ting was secretly shocked in his heart, he also heard the name of Liu Yao from a friend, that friend had served under the Marquis of Hanguang Township, speaking of Liu Yuan attached great importance to a son named Liu Yao, and took him with him wherever he went, this son was mediocre in appearance, but extremely powerful, he practiced martial arts at the age of four, and his talent was very high, he was the most favored among Liu Yuan's sons, and it was almost foreseeable that this son would be Liu Yuan's most powerful cadre in the future, and even the best candidate to inherit Liu Yuan's title. Yang Ting didn't expect such a genius to be born by Liu Yuan, so it's no wonder that Liu Yao's residence is so simple, and he really doesn't want to be too eye-catching and arouse the jealousy of other brothers.

Yang Ting pondered for a long time, immediately came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "It really doesn't matter if you are a righteous son or not, if Brother Yao has the ability, if you don't rely on your father's support, you may not be able to achieve a career." ”

Liu Yao seemed a little surprised: "Brother Yang also thinks so?" ”

"Isn't it?" Yang Ting knew that he had touched Liu Yao's mind, a villain like this has always been higher than the sky, even if he worships his father, he can't hear others say that he stepped on his father's shoulders to take the throne, and he also looks down on those children of the family who are invincible, so he said: "The ability is always earned by yourself, even if someone protects you, but you don't have the ability, you can't get on the stage after all." ”

"I think so, too." Liu Yao talked eloquently as if he had met a confidant: "But my brothers always feel that my father favors me, and he has already promised me a bright future, don't say that my father has never mentioned this matter, even if I mention it, I can't stand it, my father has come to this point with his own talents, what a glory, who dares not to look at him twice?" Since I am my father's son, how can I lose face to his old man? ”

Yang Ting hurriedly nodded yes, and after a few teas, the two became close friends, but, in Liu Yao's opinion, Yang Ting was the first person to understand him, although he was a few years older, he was a person who could confide his heart. In Yang Ting's opinion, the current Liu Yao is still a powerful child, and his martial arts temper, as for the future, what will happen in the future, who can say for sure?
