In the 228th year of the Taoist calendar, Ximiao Hongcheng.

It was night, the sky was clear, and the moon was shining for thousands of miles.

On the watchtower of the highest city gate in Hongcheng, there stood a young man with long hair fluttering, wearing golden armor, holding the sword at his waist with one hand, leaning on the city wall with the other, looking down on the city under the city that had been baptized by war and nirvana again, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile of relief.

The moonlight fell on his angular face, and his smooth and fair skin was as delicate as if it could not withstand the wind, as if it were about to shatter when touched. His facial features are clear, his appearance is delicate and handsome: thick eyebrows, handsome nose, beautiful lips, especially dark and deep eyes, with a charming color, people can indulge in the whispering tenderness in those eyes just by looking at them.

The young man's eyebrows not only leaked Guan Yunchang's heroic spirit, but also revealed Lu Fengxian's unparalleled in the world; The eyes follow a spirit, and it also leads to the warmth of tenderness like water. His handsome face didn't seem to have anything to do with hard armor, but he looked so suitable in armor. Dressed in armor, he is so heroic that you can tell where he is at a glance even when hundreds of thousands of troops are fighting.

At this time, a man of his fate appeared on the stairs behind the young man, his temples were slightly white, he had a beard, and he was wearing copper armor.

The man stood on the stairs and looked at the boy suspiciously, then climbed the wall and asked, "What are you thinking?" ”

The young man looked back at the middle-aged man and said, "(Yu) Warber, can you tell me where I came from?" ”

"Origin? What is the origin? ”

The young man turned his head: "Actually, ......" The young man's voice suddenly became hoarse, turned his head back again, then swallowed, coughed, and then spoke: "Three years ago, when I led the troops to suppress the remnants of Dongyan, the soldiers unanimously shouted that the tiger father has no dog, and I am the second single herd, but after the father learned about it, the letter only asked me to take care of my body. He spoke quickly, and when he said this, he paused again and looked up at the moon, "I was actually very happy in my heart at that meeting, thinking that my father was a ...... who agreed with me." The young man's voice in the back gradually became softer.

Yu Hua looked at the young man, his eyes were a little tangled, and then the young man turned to look at Yu Hua and said, "But later, after the emperor transferred me back to Xincheng (Zhongxin Main City)." When my father saw me, he only said one sentence, I am the first single lonely moon, not the second single herd......"

Yu Hua interrupted Shan Guyue's words: "It is impossible for Shan Mu to appear second, but it doesn't mean that your father is handsome and that you are not as good as him." ”

"I know, the point is that he told me that day that he wasn't my biological father." Shan Guyue said, bowing her head, "Then my father asked the emperor to transfer me to guard Ximiao, and let you, the deputy general who once followed him in the southern and northern wars, escort me here." Father must have explained something to you, right? ”

"Your father meant to let me tell you some more things when I got to Deep Sea City, but now you better put your mind at ease! Ha? Yu Hua asked rhetorically sophisticatedly.

"After coming to Ximiao, I couldn't sleep." Shan Guyue lowered her head and took a breath, then raised it again and said, "Uncle Hua, I can't remember the appearance of my mother and my brother." You have been the best for me since I was a child, just tell me~" Shan Guyue's tone was half coquettish, and she looked at Yu Hua with a sly look in her eyes.

"Nonsense! Eighteen years of men! I've been a commander for so long, and I still have this face, no! "How could Yu Hua eat this set of horses in half his life?

Shan Guyue changed his way, he picked up the two bags of wine on the table next to him, handed one to Yu Hua and said, "Don't come to this set, let's talk about the previous war." Warber, do you remember the first time I went to war? ”

Yu Hua is an old and stubborn person, sometimes he likes to brag about his bravery during the war, if he drinks too much, he will always say some things, and the people around him usually call him "Hua Leaky Mouth" in private.

Yu Hua was not polite, sat on the stool next to him and took the wine bag, then raised his head and took a sip, and then said with a slight sigh: "How can you forget." You were only ten years old, dressed in cloth clothes, and your gun was longer than a man, and you single-handedly rushed into the enemy line and took off the head of the enemy general. It felt as unreal as a dream at the time, and I still think it was just a dream. Yu Hua smiled as he spoke: "I also brought this dream into reality." ”

Shan Guyue smiled proudly: "At that time, I also wanted to share my father's worries, that Huiyan army had already broken through the eastern boundary of Zhongxin, and my father was reluctant to see anyone for a while after defeating Nanyao, including me, I think it was because he was really tired." What's more, at that time, my mother and my brother also passed away a few years ago because Nanyao broke the border of Zhongxin Nancheng, so he took me with him every time he fought after that. ”

Yu Hua sighed and said, "It's a pity, your father's body has been unwell since that year. It is a pity that the world's number one commander gradually began to ignore the world. ”

"Fortunately, Beisen came to the reinforcements at that time, but why didn't my father go to the barracks in those years? After I took office, soldiers always asked me how my father's health was. It can be seen that the soldiers are still worried about him. "Shan Guyue said.

"You must have heard that the former prime minister had a feud with your father back then, and he still fought in the temple, right?" Yu Hua took another sip of wine, looked at Shan Guyue and said.

Shan Guyue thought for a while and nodded: "I've heard a little, I heard that someone said that the former prime minister was a demon ......."

Before Shan Guyue finished speaking, she was interrupted by Yu Hua's stubborn "boo". Then Yu Hua lowered his voice and said: "Don't make a noise about this kind of thing, Emperor Xin was still young, Zhongxin was too chaotic in China, and many things were grasped by the prime minister." Until your father appeared, and then in the temple, your father went down with a knife, and then he disappeared without a trace. At that time, Emperor Xin invited the world, and many well-known spirit rune masters came to exorcise demons, but when all the spirit rune masters swept all the corners of the imperial city and did not find a trace of demonic energy, they concluded that the prime minister had been killed by your father, but your father never thought that he was determined to see the corpse in one bite. Suddenly, Yu Hua said excitedly as if he had committed an old stubborn disease: "Tell me, how can you see the corpse of a monster when it is dead, and it is not a human being, he is too ......"

Shan Guyue saw that Yu Hua was so excited, and tried to signal him on the side, and the word "monster" should not be raised again.

Yu Huagang reacted, and only spit out two words: "Stubborn!" Then he took a few sips of wine in quick succession.

Shan Guyue was puzzled and asked: "But the former prime minister, what does it have to do with the fact that my father is unwell now and doesn't see anyone?" ”

Yu Hua shook his head and said: "There is no direct relationship, the prime minister has not appeared again since he disappeared, but the position of the prime minister is vacant, and you also know how powerful your father is." Today, the saint also has to retreat a few steps to him, so naturally he will find someone to suppress him, so the current prime minister is Emperor Xin to call to resist your father's power in the court. ”

"But didn't the father also rely on his power to suppress Emperor Xin?"

"This is the top-level situation of the internal affairs of the imperial court, which is really normal. In the same way, isn't he pressing you from time to time now? But the main thing is that I'm worried that your father will be in charge again. Because royal power is the most taboo existence with a thorn in the eye, isn't it? ”

Shan Guyue saw that Yu Hua's rhetorical question was reasonable, and thought in her heart, it was indeed the case, so she stopped making a sound.

But he didn't understand why his father would fight the former prime minister in the temple, but he wasn't interested in it.

"That year, he also fanned the flames by the emperor's side and said that if your father won Dongyan and then returned to Zhongxin, he would definitely be the master, and it would be not long after your father captured the most powerful Nanyao." After Yu Hua finished speaking, he drank again.

After seeing that Yu Hua had drunk a lot, Shan Guyue began to change the topic: "Uncle Hua, stop for a moment, I actually know all this." Let's start at the beginning! At the time of the attack on Xi Miao, why did my father take me who was not sensible? ”

Yu Hua thought about it, and stared at Shan Guyue again.

Shan Guyue also looked at Yu Hua.

Yu Hua suddenly stood up and scolded angrily: "You are so anxious to know about you? You haven't heard my story yet! ”

Shan Guyue also stood up, and said "naughty" with a smile: "Yu Huabo, don't be angry!" I don't see much wine, and you'll leave it to the end to do the main thing! ”

Yu Hua sighed silently, sat down, took a sip of wine, thought about it and took another sip of wine, and then wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth with his sleeve.

"The first time I saw Shan Mu was in the year 210 of the Taoist calendar. At that time, the first emperor died of illness suddenly, and he could only let the young Emperor Xin succeed to the throne, and everything would be the former prime minister in power, he ignored the crisis of the war in the northwest, and held a general meeting, that year Shan Mu looked only in his 20s, how young ~, he just ran all the way and stood to the end. At that time, Marshal Sun was still there, maybe he saw that Shan Mu was a genius, so he personally competed with him, no one expected that an old general who had gone through the battlefield would lose to a young man, and he lost completely. Subsequently, Marshal Sun personally gave the handsome seal to Shan Mu in front of the people of the world, the young Emperor Xin did not speak, but the former prime minister said, "The winner is the king, and the capable person is naturally handsome." Saying that, Yu Hua laughed and said, "But he didn't expect how Shan Mu would treat him in the future, haha......"

Shan Guyue definitely didn't like to listen to this kind of words, so he interrupted: "So did the father take the handsome seal?" ”

Yu Hua slowly put away his self-enjoyment, took another sip of wine and said, "Take it." But the ministers disagreed, including me, who had just become a lieutenant general. No one dared to agree to leave such a matter of life and death to a young man. Yu Hua shook his head as he spoke, took a sip of wine and continued: "At that time, I thought I couldn't compare to him, but let a person of unknown origin and younger than me be the commander, no one will accept it, no one will dare!" ”

Shan Guyue interrupted him questioningly: "Isn't it like when I defeated Hua Bo in the 222nd year of the Dao calendar, stipulating that only generals and not commanders are awarded?" ”

Yu Hua grinned and said, "At that time, Old Marshal Sun was just joking, saying that he was gambling on his status. But Shan Mu just won, and he still bit the marshal's position. To be honest, no one thought that Marshal Sun would lose, maybe even he didn't expect it. After speaking, Yu Huada drank a few sips of wine and smiled very happily, as if mocking and self-deprecating. He continued: "At that time, the people present all booed Shan Mu, a young man who didn't know the height of the sky, but Shan Mu just shouted to the people of the world frankly......"

Shan Guyue took a sip of wine, and when she heard this, she immediately stopped, sipping the wine, waiting for the development of this story that Zhongxin people didn't want to mention again.

Yu Hua took a deep breath, as if he was feeling Shan Mu's heart at that time, and then said lightly: "Shut your dog's mouth!" A group of minions who can only squat in the city and steal their lives, but complain about those hard-working soldiers on the battlefield, what qualifications do they have to live so upright! After saying that, Yu Hua laughed again, as if he had thought of something very funny.

"What?" Shan Guyue had never heard the father who taught him to march and fight and fight with the eighteen martial arts to talk about the past, because Shan Mu had never mentioned his past to anyone. "Warber, what did you just say?"
