Xiao Mansion is an ordinary house, but when someone hears this name, they are afraid that they will be shocked, because Xiao Mansion is where the Chu family Tianwei is located.

When Chu Haoyu and the three of them walked to the door, a little girl in Tsing Yi had already greeted him and said, "Seventh prince, respect the king of the county, please come with the little one." ”

was called out by the little girl in Tsing Yi, a cold light flashed in Chu Yuanjing's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Who are you?" ”

Under Chu Yuanjing's gaze, the little guy in Tsing Yi replied unhurriedly: "The little one came to greet the two of you on the order of the fourth master, please come with the little one!" After speaking, the little girl in Tsing Yi did not enter the door, but walked along the wall to the backyard.

Xiao Mansion is not big, but the tall trees in the courtyard look very quiet, and most of them are maple trees, accompanied by the breeze with yellow leaves, revealing a lonely and distant taste.

Walking on the bluestone path, watching the maple leaves falling, Chu Haoyu was very quiet in his heart, and at the same time, Chu Haoyu seemed to understand that this Zhuangzi would be called Xiao Mansion. At the end of the path is an octagonal pavilion, with a stone bench and a stone table in the pavilion, and a pot of tea is placed on the table, but people are waiting outside the pavilion.

Seeing Chu Haoyu and Chu Yuanjing coming, Chu Kun, who was dressed in gray and gray-haired, knelt on the ground and bowed respectfully: "The old slave knocks to see the Seventh Prince, respect the King of the County!" ”

Seeing this, Chu Haoyu rushed to Chu Kun's side and bent down to pull him up, and said at the same time: "Uncle Kun, why are you so outside? ”

Chu Kun didn't get up, bowed down and said: "It's all the old slave who didn't think about it, so that the little young master was plotted by thieves, and the slave deserved to die." At the end of the words, Chu Kun bowed to Chu Haoyu even more.

Chu Haoyu tried his best to pull Chu Kun up, but he couldn't pull Chu Kun at all, and finally could only say: "Uncle Kun, what are you doing, hurry up." ”

At this moment, Chu Yuanjing also pulled Chu Kun's arm and persuaded: "Grandpa Kun, hurry up." Xiao Qi is not good, besides, if he doesn't let his kid grow up, he still thinks he is the best in the world. ”

Glaring at Chu Yuanjing, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and said, "Fourth uncle, you can't afford to get up, I can leave if I can't afford it anymore." ”

Chu Kun finally stood up. Looking at Chu Haoyu, Chu Kun's calm eyes had a hint of relief, and said, "The little young master has grown up." ”

After a pause, Chu Kun said in a deep voice: "We have five brothers, the second and third have passed away a long time ago, and now the eldest brother has no regrets waiting by the master's side, the fifth brother is reckless by nature, Chu Sizi should do his best to protect the safety of the little young master." Previously, Chu Si knew that someone wanted to be unfavorable to the young master, and also made the young master hurt people, and Chu Si would definitely give the young master and the master mother an explanation for this matter. ”

Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Chu Haoyu stopped discussing this issue, walked to the pavilion and asked at the same time, "Uncle Kun, how did you know that we were coming?" ”

Chu Kun was not surprised by this question, and replied: "The capital is extremely well guarded, and any wind and grass will be known to the heavenly guards, not to mention that there are many and miscellaneous people in the capital at this time, who dares to rest assured that the little young master is out alone." ”

"What?" In the midst of the shouting, Chu Haoyu stared straight at Chu Kun and asked, "Uncle Kun, you mean that someone has always protected us?" ”

Chu Kun didn't answer, bowed down and saluted Chu Haoyu, and said, "I hope the young master won't blame you." ”

Snorting coldly, Chu Haoyu picked up the teacup but put it down again, and asked, "Fourth uncle, how many people have you arranged, why didn't I notice it, what about you?" ”

Seeing Chu Haoyu's gaze, Chu Yuanjing shook his head and said, "I didn't find it either." ”

For the gaze of the two of them, Chu Kun seemed to have not heard it, and said lightly: "Young master, don't worry, they are only responsible for the safety of the two of you......"

Chu Kun's words were not finished, but Chu Haoyu had already interrupted him and said, "Then why are you telling me?" Knowing that there are always a lot of people around you, so what's the fun? ”

Chu Kun's plain face did not change in any way, and he replied unhurriedly: "Chu Si just wants to tell the little young master that during the martial arts test, many people are worried about the young master, so you must be careful. ”

Seeing Chu Kun is face, Chu Haoyu suddenly felt bored, shook his head and picked up the teacup, took a sip of surprise, and asked, "Uncle Kun, isn't this the nectar that my father often drinks?" ”

Chu Kun nodded, opened his mouth and said, "When the master was still alive, every year when the maple leaves turned red, he would always come here to sit and drink a cup of tea. ”

With a light sound, looking at Chu Kun and then looking at the yellow and clear Mengding nectar, Chu Haoyu seemed to understand a little why Chu Kun had brought himself here. With a chuckle, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and said, "Uncle Kun, sit." Xiao Jing, what are you doing while sitting, standing? ”

Seeing that both of them sat down, Chu Haoyu pulled Sun Hou down to his side with a roll of his eyes, and said with a smile: "Uncle Kun, I have something to do with you today, what do you think of this child?" ”

Glancing at Sun Hou, Chu Kun said slowly: "The qualifications are good, but it's too hard to practice martial arts with me." ”

After listening to the gray-clothed man in front of him, Sun Qi still didn't understand what he meant, knelt on the ground and shouted: "Sun Hou is not afraid, I have seen Master!" Kowtowed, but Sun Qi couldn't bow anymore, and couldn't help but look up at the man in gray

After receiving a great gift from Sun Hou, Chu Kun opened his mouth and said: "I pass on your martial arts, but I don't have the name of master and apprentice, one worship is enough." In the future, if you are successful in martial arts, follow the son well and follow the saddle horse, otherwise, I will take your life. ”

Hearing Chu Kun's words, Sun Hou was stunned for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Sun Hou will follow Mr. Zheng's teachings and will live up to his son." ”

"Get up!" Chu Kun said casually and then looked at Chu Haoyu and said, "Young Master, it's going to be a martial arts test soon, young master, just leave him here." ”

Nodding, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth again and asked, "Fourth uncle, what's the matter with Xie Zhiyuan?" ”

Chu Kun had long known that Chu Haoyu was going to ask this question, so he said directly: "Xie Zhiyuan, the champion of the previous dynasty in the last years, but now he is in Jingzhao Yin Prison, does the young master think it is strange?" ”

Nodding, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and asked again, "Also, what's the matter with Princess Anping?" ”

Looking at Chu Haoyu, Chu Kun opened his mouth and said: "Although the last king of the former Zhao Dynasty is not a holy lord, he is not incompetent, but the mansion of the previous dynasty has collapsed, and he is powerless to return to the sky. Princess Anping is the daughter of one of his favorites, and the name Anping can be known as his love and ambition. Such a princess is naturally the object of the ministers of the court and the major families, but in the end she married Xie Zhiyuan. ”

"Xie Zhiyuan was born in the Xie family in Lingnan, although the Xie family's statement is not obvious, it is a real millennium family, not only has a high prestige in the local area, but also has a lot of prestige in many hidden families. Married to Xie Zhiyuan, so because of his appearance and talent, he also wanted to leave a way back for Princess Anping, but when the previous dynasty fell, Princess Anping finally died in the hands of the shadow, that is, now it is a heavenly thorn, but ......" After a pause at this point, Chu Kun continued: "Although Princess Anping's death was caused by a heavenly thorn, it was also facilitated by us and the Xie family. ”

Chu Yuanjing listened interestingly, and couldn't help asking, "Why?" ”

Seeing that Chu Haoyu also had doubts in his eyes, Chu Kun opened his mouth to explain: "Because Princess Anping can't live, whether it's for the Xie family or my Chu family." ”

Chu Haoyu was a smart person, and he quickly understood what Chu Kun meant. If Princess Anping is alive, even if she just wants to live peacefully, will anyone with a heart let her go? When the time comes, what will the Xie family do, and what should the Chu family do.

After a moment of silence, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and asked, "Then what's the matter with Xie Zhiyuan, why did he stay in prison?" ”

Chu Kun replied calmly: "It was my order." After Princess Anping was killed, Xie Zhiyuan broke into the palace with a single sword, but the forbidden place of the palace, even if it was about to be destroyed, was not something that one person could break into. Xie Zhiyuan was able to bring Princess Anping's body out, so the one in the palace didn't want to hurt him, and because someone was secretly helping him, and the one who helped him was most likely the shadow. ”

Staring at Chu Kun, Chu Haoyu couldn't help but shout: "Shadow? ”

Chu Kun naturally knew Chu Haoyu's doubts, and explained: "The leader of the shadow is called a shadow, which means that Emperor Zhao is an ethereal shadow. As for why the shadow would help him, one is to lure him into joining the shadow when he is frustrated, and the other reason is the Xie family. ”

After thinking for a moment, Chu Haoyu seemed to understand a little, and said, "So you put him in prison?" ”

Chu Kun tapped his head and said, "In the past twenty years, the old slave has tried his best to find out the news of the shadow, since Xie Zhiyuan has seen the shadow, the old slave naturally wants to learn the news of the shadow from his mouth." ”

Looking at Chu Kun, Chu Yuanjing shouted: "In that case, why don't you have to be punished, Grandpa Kun?" Hmph, no matter how strong he is, under the punishment, I promise that he will say everything. ”

Shaking his head, Chu Kun opened his mouth and said: "After all, he is a member of the Xie family, and the master has pity on his talent and loyalty, and does not allow him to be tortured." ”

With a soft sound, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and asked again: "It's been more than ten years, and he hasn't spoken?" There was no need for Chu Kun to answer, Chu Haoyu pursed his lips and exclaimed, "What a strange person." ”

"That's not right." After shouting, Chu Yuanjing opened his mouth and said: "Grandpa Kun, since he dares to break into the palace with a single sword, his martial arts are naturally not bad, and Jing Zhaoyin's prison can't trap him." ”

Nodding, Chu Kun's face was calm, but he let out a light sigh and said, "Actually, for him, the prison cell may be the best place to belong." ”

After thinking for a while, Chu Haoyu couldn't help but sigh, after all, how can such a romantic person not feel sorry for him, but Chu Yuanjing didn't think so, let out a cold snort, and shouted: "A good man is so pretentious, and he is empty of kung fu and talent." ”

Suddenly thinking of something, Chu Haoyu looked at Chu Kun and asked, "Fourth uncle, the shadow is really so difficult to find, there are no other clues?" ”

Shaking his head, Chu Kun said slowly: "The shadows of the past dynasties were personally appointed by Emperor Zhao, they can be close attendants around him, or they may be ministers of the court, heroes of the rivers and lakes, or even inconspicuous ordinary people, except for the emperor, very few people know who the real shadow is." Moreover, in order to confuse everyone, the shadow wears a mask every time it appears, and even the voice is different. In the past ten years, Tianwei and Tianthorn Ming have been fighting endlessly, but they have never found out the news of the shadow. ”

After a pause, Chu Kun continued: "It is because the shadow is hidden too deep that it is more threatening, the master has been assassinated several times in his life, most of which were done by the Heavenly Thorn. Moreover, more than ten years have passed, and their young master has grown up, and he will definitely set off a bloody storm. ”

Hearing Chu Kun mention the assassination, a light suddenly flashed in Chu Haoyu's calm eyes, but at this moment, Chu Yuanjing opened his mouth and asked, "Young master?" ”

Chu Kun nodded and said, "Yes." When the capital was invaded, the Zhao family was almost wiped out, but there were still fish that slipped through the net, and the old slave personally led the team to hunt down and kill these people, and anyone who dared to have anything to do with the Zhao family was killed, but there were still two princes missing. ”

Speaking of this, Chu Kun stared straight at Chu Haoyu and said, "Young Master, the reason why the old slave told you these bloody past events is that I want you to know how much weight your identity has in the eyes of those people, don't be fooled by someone with a heart because of a moment of playfulness." ”

Under Chu Kun's gaze, Chu Haoyu snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "I'm still afraid that they won't come, sooner or later I will find out the shadow." ”
