Chapter 2: The Return of the General

"Father is right."

"Zhi'er, you and Su'er have one article and one martial arts, which can ensure the stability of my Yun clan. When Su'er succeeds to the throne, you have to assist Su'er well, and the brothers work together. ”

"Yes, the sons will definitely live up to the king's orders."

As soon as Yun Zhi finished speaking, the prince said, his tone was so warm and warm and a hint of a child's coquettishness towards his father: "Yes, father, don't worry, Su'er and Zhi'er will definitely take good care of the country you have worked so hard to build." Yun Su took the initiative to go over and hold Yun Zhi's shoulder: "Azhi, right?" ”

"Yes."

King Yun is more satisfied with Yun Su the more he looks at him, he has many heirs and many sons, but this eldest son is always the most pleasing to him, and the heir he needs is a benevolent monarch rather than a tyrant. He doesn't need him to be as decisive and insensitive as him, he doesn't need him to expand his territory, because the world has been defeated for him, he just needs him to keep his inheritance.

"Okay, Zhi'er, I will give you a general's mansion, which is called Jicong's mansion, and ten thousand taels of gold, all of which will be sent to your new mansion. As for you, I haven't seen Su'er for a long time, so you two brothers have a good chat. ”

Looking at the general in front of him, Yizi Yunzhi, and touching his son Yunsu's shoulder, King Yun left satisfied, he wanted to leave space for the two young people, he believed that his son Yunsu would not let him down, and would envelop the general he specially arranged for him.

"Sons and daughters send their fathers to the king." Two men who are also young and handsome but have different styles both knelt down, it was the crown prince Yunsu and the general Yunzhi.

Until he couldn't see the back of King Yun, Yun Su immediately pulled up Yun Zhi was very intimate, and even the words did not have the self-title of the prince, but pure brotherhood: "Azhi, you are finally back, I am dying of boredom." ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, there is a difference between monarchs and ministers."

"What are you talking about, we're brothers who grew up together."

"But now you are the crown prince after all, and I am the general."

"So what, you're not still my brother, do you want to be my brother?"

"The prince said with a smile, the younger brother is just a little tired from the journey, and he wants to go back to the house to rest first, and come back tomorrow to meet the prince's brother."

"Remove the word prince and call him eldest brother as before."

"Yes, big brother."

"Azhi, although I have a lot of younger brothers and sisters, you are the only brother who knows my heart, we have played together since childhood, and we will not be able to have a share in the future."

"Okay, big brother."

"Then you go back and get some rest. In the evening, my father has prepared a feast for you, so you can't be absent. ”

"Brother obeys."

Yunzhi was able to leave, but a clear chasm secretly appeared between the once closest brothers. Yun Su looked at Yun Zhi's back, the curvature of his mouth became more and more upturned, and the gaze in his eyes became more and more gentle.

In front of it is a pink wall and tiles, under the eaves bucket arch, the carved beams and painted buildings are erected, a huge plaque on the three majestic characters "Ji Congfu", hanging high under the eaves, on the main door, gold characters on a white background, vigorous and powerful, at a glance it is the pen that the king of clouds personally mentioned. There is solemnity in the simplicity, a dignified and solemn style, at first glance it is a solemn mansion, but it is very similar to the general's mansion, but all this is a joke for Yunzhi.

In front of the door, the young and handsome general did not dismount, but quietly looked at the three big characters "Ji Congfu" on the door, clenched the reins of the horse, and his eyes were full of sneers.

The little guy next to him hurriedly asked, "General, aren't you going in?" ”

"Nope."

As he was talking, a middle-aged man wearing a Yunguo Binshi dress rushed over, and he bowed to Yunzhi's horse: "General." ”

"Uncle Yi, please get up." Yun Zhi dismounted, but said to the little servant again: "Take Uncle Yi into the mansion, and Uncle Yi will be the housekeeper of the Mansion in the future." ”

"Yes." "Thank you, General." The two of them bowed again.

"I still have something to do, so I won't go back to the house first, and no one is allowed to follow." After Yun Zhi finished speaking, he quickly left.

"Yes." In the distance, there were two bowing figures.

Along the way, Yun Zhi's heart was complicated: King Yun, King Yun, you are so scheming, give me the mansion. Ji, from, it's nothing more than asking me to converge and obey you Yunguo, but who will come to shout for our Xuanguo.

Yes, paper will never be able to contain fire, Yun Wang would never have dreamed that Yun Zhi already knew everything, the most important thing is that the child who couldn't hide his emotions in his eyes has now learned to forbear.

This young and handsome general is an orphan who was taken in by King Yun when he was a child, and he has always thought that King Yun is a benefactor since he was a child, but he doesn't want to be an enemy, and he is the fool who has been deceived for many years.

Thanks to this encirclement and suppression rebellion, he met Li Yi, the surviving general of Xuanguo, Li Yi used tricks to make him alone, and he originally planned to capture Li Yi alive in person, but he gave the two of them time to talk alone.

In the conversation that day, Li Yi said that he was the youngest of the Xuan Kingdom, King Xuan's favorite little prince, and when he was three years old, King Xuan learned of the prophecy and secretly sent him out of the palace to hide, but he was still found by King Yun.

Yun Zhi was reluctant to believe this fact at first, after all, if it was a fact, he couldn't face himself. You must know that King Yun was the first to destroy the Xuan Kingdom with him, and even King Yun took his hand to teach him to use a knife, taught him to kill, and cut off the head of the person who may be his biological parents with his own hands, he was only six years old that year, looking at the head rolling to the ground, looking at the sea of blood in fear, trembling. If it's really his country, it's his biological parents, how do you let him behave himself?

But the facts are the facts, after he went to verify, even if he collapsed, he could only endure it stubbornly, and it was only now that he just understood that the wetness in King Xuan's eyes at that time, and the eyes that he did not close until he died.

In a bamboo forest, Yun Zhi screamed like crazy, slashing everywhere with the sword given to him by King Yun, that sword was given to him by King Yun before he went to suppress the bandits, and now the sword looks like a joke. The man's once elegant and plain eyes were devastating hatred, tears flowed down unobediently, since he knew his life experience, he had been suppressing the unspeakable pain in his heart, and now he could finally vent it desperately.

This is a lush, green and vibrant bamboo forest, the fragrance of bamboo is permeated, it is such a beautiful place, but it was cut and scratched by Yunzhi. How many innocent bamboos have scratches and even breaks, not to mention the bamboo leaves flying all over the sky, which is really damaging the environment!

But in his unscrupulous slashing, he almost injured a girl dressed in white like snow. The girl's face looks a little immature, but it is already pure and flawless, but her eyes are empty looking at the bamboo forest in front of her, although her eyes are not godly, but she always feels that she sees a distant direction.

The girl was in harmony with the beauty of the bamboo forest, but she didn't want anyone to disturb her, and the moment she turned around, she almost crashed into his sword. The sword had already pressed against her neck, touching her white jade-like skin, but fortunately there was no red cut, but in this case, the girl still did not panic a little.

In this way, the two of them maintained this strange posture for a long, long time. Looking at the girl in front of him, the man was stupid, but the tears on his face were still telling everything that happened, until the bamboo leaves fell in front of him, he didn't wake up, the sword in his hand fell, and almost hurt the girl in front of him again. He hurried to look at the girl, bent down to pick up the sword on the ground, and hung it in the scabbard at his waist.

Looking at the girl who was not a trace of panic in front of her, but was just stupid and in a daze, Xuanzhi said "I'm sorry". But the girl still ignored him, turned around, and continued to look vacantly at the place where she had looked before.

The man walked in the direction where he could see her face, and looked at the girl's innocent face like this, although he felt that she was strange, but it was more of an inexplicable sense of familiarity, the girl's godless eyes were the eyes he had seen in the depths of his heart, but he didn't remember where he had seen it, but it didn't affect his appreciation of her.

Soaked in time, the bamboo leaves flying in the forest, green like elves, set off the two people in the painting, except for the girl's unfocused sight, the matching faces of the two are so beautiful - green flowers are flying all over the sky, young generals and beautiful women, suspected of falling into the city and the country, how much hatred and how many injustices.

"Who are you? Have I seen you anywhere? Feeling so familiar to you? Yun Zhi still couldn't help but ask slowly.

The girl didn't even turn her head, just shook her head slightly, her eyes were empty, no matter what the man asked her, she was still so godless, but it didn't affect the peaceful and comfortable atmosphere between the two. In particular, the man's feelings of hatred, pain, and restraint have slowly eased, but the silent jade doll girl in front of him has become a special medicine to soothe his soul, so that his heart is also peaceful.

At this time, a cute-looking woman appeared and broke the peace.

"General Yun, why are you here?"

"Who are you, and how do you know General Ben?" Yun Zhi glanced at the woman who came over, and there was a hint of unhappiness about being interrupted, but it quickly disappeared.

"General, you are still wearing armor, and the slave is Princess Xi's personal maidservant Yu'er."

"So, you're the princess of mercury beads, no, it's Princess Yunxi now." After Yun Zhi heard this, he didn't look at Yu'er, but looked at the silent beauty again.

It's just that when the man said the mercury beads, there was a glimmer of brilliance in the girl's empty eyes, and they quickly disappeared, not allowing anyone to find out.

No wonder Yun Zhi has a sense of familiarity, the little girl who lived in his heart back then may have been pitiful back then, but he had to admit that her clear and clean eyes were what he wanted to protect back then, but he couldn't.

In front of his eyes, the nine-year-old girl appeared, and he couldn't do anything for her when her country was ruined. In the sea of blood, I could only watch her cry with the corpses of her parents until she ran out of tears and fainted. I didn't expect to see each other for five years, and the poor little princess became the slim and beautiful woman in front of her, but now she is beautiful, but compared to the time when she lost her soul, it is like a girl's soul was forever left on the day when the country was ruined, her family and her parents died.
