A seemingly very old house came into view, and with a click, the door that was still swaying had been opened, and a ray of sunlight cut into the house, making this house that had not seen the light of day for a long time brighten.

Because no one has been here for a long time, and the rainy weather for a period of time has made this room have a considerable musty smell, the starry cobwebs on the beams seem to show that the owner does not pay attention to this room, and a thick layer of dust has accumulated on those neatly arranged wooden boxes.

Gao Yun covered his nose and waved his sleeves, as if to dispel the dust in the air, and at the same time nodded to Zhou Han beside him, who had already begun to deal with the dust on the box.

With the busyness of Zhou Han's group of trapped soldiers, one by one the boxes have been opened, but what fell into Gao Yun's eyes was a neat scroll, and Zhou Han had shrewdly selected one of the volumes and sent it to Gao Yun.

Gao Yun's eyebrows have gradually risen, this is what Yan Xiang said about some of the evidence of the Huainan family's crimes, if you don't look at it, you don't know it, it really makes Gao Yun very surprised, these Jianghuai families hide from Yuan Shu and the Han family don't know how much they have done to annex land, hide the population, and disregard people's lives.

This is the first time that Gao Yun has an in-depth understanding of the family since coming to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but under the glamorous and powerful appearance is a mountain of haze and filth.

"My lord, this is all my father's collection."

It was Yan Lang who spoke, that is, Yan Xiang's only son, after Yan Xiang's death, Gao Yun calmed down for a few days and wanted to meet the child entrusted to him by the old man.

It is already a bit inappropriate to say that it is a child, even if Gao Yun collected too much information about Yan Lang before coming to the Yan family, even if this information mostly says that Yan Lang is a child with a lazy personality and neglectful discipline. But when Gao Yun saw it, at least it was the first impression, but it gave Gao Yun a feeling of maturity and too much of his peers.

At this time, Yan Lang was just reaching the crown, and he was not very delicate, and his relatively tough body supported his cautious face.

The fifteen or sixteen-year-old genius Gao Yun has not seen it, there are two in his own family, Hao Zhao is calm and Lu Xun is smart, but Yan Lang is different from the two, he may not be as good as Hao Zhao in terms of force, and he is inferior to Lu Xun in strategy, but Yan Lang gives people a sense of vicissitudes, and his quick thinking reveals that ordinary people can't bear it.

Gao Yun once thought that maybe it was Yan Xiang's preconceived image that would give him an illusion, but then he realized that he was wrong, Yan Lang had long known about Yan Xiang's death, as a young man who had just lost his father, he didn't cry or make trouble, but still put on a considerable etiquette to greet Gao Yun.

Maybe it's a change, or maybe it's a turning point.

Of course, Yan Lang is smart and doesn't need to doubt it, he used to be the second generation of Shouchun's hot official, and he usually didn't need to worry about his livelihood at all. But overnight, his proud father died, the backbone of the family collapsed, and the days of peace were over, and he had to face the danger of being killed at any time.

This is a kind of growth, but also a kind of responsibility. Gao Yun and Yuan Yao had already discussed the necessity of keeping Yan Lang, but these were all things that Yan Lang didn't know. At such an age, he has to face Gao Yun, who almost killed his father, but he is neither humble nor arrogant.

"Hao Rui doesn't have to call me an adult, speaking of which, I am also your father's old friend, if Hao Rui is willing, he can be commensurate with my teacher and student."

A trace of hesitation obviously flashed in Yan Lang's eyes, but then he was replaced by firmness, and after bowing to Gao Yun, he said: "The adults are kind to the younger generation, but the younger generation has just passed away, and the younger generation still needs to keep filial piety, I am afraid that I will not be able to fulfill the duty of serving the teacher, not to mention that the younger generation has been taught by my father for many years, and my family's learning may be difficult to accept." ”

This is a polite refusal, and the meaning of Yan Lang's words is also obvious, except for his father Yan Xiang, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to accept other teachers in his life.

Zhou Han and the others acted very quickly, but after a while, they had already moved the boxes in the house away, and Gao Yun was not in the mood to stay here, so he took Yan Lang to pace in the Yan family's courtyard.

"Don't drive your life to be bright and upright, with the world in mind, and the reason for the people, a word in prison that day made me admire it even more, but it's a pity that I am not at the right time, and my personality is too paranoid, otherwise I and the son of the world will definitely let me drive it..."

"The younger generation once again thanked the Lord and the Son for their kindness." Yan Lang bowed very sincerely, he already knew the truth of the matter, when Yuan Shu ordered Gao Yun to force Yan Xiang to death, the man in front of him tried his best to save his father's life.

Even if it didn't work, I tried. This was enough for Yan Lang, at least he would still regard Gao Yun and Yuan Yao as his benefactors now.

"Maybe dying like this is the best fate for my father, and adults don't need to comfort their younger generations, as adults said, my father was worried about the country and the people all his life, upright and loyal, and his life of dying to the monarch he was loyal to was also a perfect end."

When Yan Lang spoke, Gao Yun was already struggling to observe the child's expression, trying to find the slightest cover-up. But in the end, he failed, because he found that this child was as calm as water at all, at least on the surface, Yan Lang had done it seamlessly.

"Don't drive it, although it's dead, the Yan family is still there. Now that the lord is about to be called the emperor, I will also give Hao Ruo a bottom, and the prince and I will continue your father's will to prevent the lord from becoming the emperor and keep Shouchun peaceful. ”

"On the other hand, since Haoruo doesn't want to join my door, I won't force it. After all, the Yan family still needs a backbone, and although Haoruo is young, it should be enough to be the head of this family.

The prince and I will also try our best to help the Yan family, and when Shouchun settles down, the prince will also arrange for Haoruo to enter the career as soon as possible, and I also hope that Haoruo can inherit your father's will and be a good official for the country and the people. ”

"Thank you to the prince of the world, and I will not disappoint the high expectations of the lord and the son."

Gao Yun nodded, to be honest, it is very depressing to chat with a child whose age does not match his psychology, not to mention that Gao Yun can see that after Yan Xiang's death, Yan Lang has closed a door to everyone, although he is kind on the surface, but you can't find out what this sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy thinks.

It's a surprise, but it's also a sense of loss.

The two of them walked and walked to the gate of the Yan family, Gao Yun raised his eyes to see that Zhou Han had finished loading those boxes, and it was time to leave.

"Haoruo is still at the age of reading after all, Haoruo will come to my house to study on weekdays, I not only have the children of the Lujiang Lu family who can be your companion there, but also people like Guo Fengxiao and Mi Zhengping to teach academic strategy."

This time, Yan Lang did not hesitate, and nodded in thanks.

"In that case, I will stay soon, and I hope Hao Ruo will take care."

"Congratulations, sir."

Under the leadership of Yan Lang, some of the Yan family's servants also bowed down to see off Gao Yun, they all bowed their heads at this time, and no one could see their expressions clearly.

Slowly boarding the carriage, Gao Yun's heart was always a little uncomfortable. Yan Lang is definitely a good seedling, although he has no shortage of apprentices, Gao Yun still hopes to be able to accept Yan Lang as an apprentice. First, it was for Yan Xiang's instructions before he died, and secondly, he smelled a trace of danger in Yan Lang.

It's actually ridiculous to say that the danger is just very subtle, if there is none, to put it bluntly, it's like Gao Yun's sixth sense, he always feels that Yan Lang, a young man, needs to get him back to the right trajectory for him.

Slowly opening the curtains, Gao Yun still looked at Yan Lang who was bowing, "Hao Rui can come to me at any time if he changes his mind, I will always be open for you under Gao Yun's door." ”

Yan Lang over there was indifferent, his movements were still respectful, and there was no word at all under his bowing head...
