Since Chu Haoxu's rebellion two years ago, Zhiwang's Mansion has become a forbidden place, and very few people have set foot in it. Standing at the door, looking at the gate of the palace in Zengmen, there was not even a lantern to be seen, the two big lions were also covered with dust, and there were spider webs on the plaque of the Zhiwangfu hanging high, which was a dilapidated scene, and Chu Haoyu and Chu Yuanjing were silent for a while.

In the silence, Chu Yuanjing suddenly let out a sigh and opened his mouth to say: "The fourth uncle is a prince, and he was canonized as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses by the emperor's grandfather, and now, even the palace has not fallen here, alas." In the indescribable sigh, Chu Yuanjing straightened his clothes and slowly stepped forward and knocked on the door.

The knock on the door echoed in the dark night for a long time, but when the knocking was half heard, no one came out. After a short silence, Chu Yuanjing knocked again, but unfortunately there was still no one.

Seeing this, Chu Haoyu also sighed lightly, stepped forward and said at the same time: "I still remember when I was a child, I came to the fourth brother's house to play, and the traffic at the door was so busy, you, me, and Xiaofei were all over the house, and we didn't see each other for three years, and I don't know how Xiaofei was?" In a deep voice, Chu Haoyu reached out and tapped it on the door with a thick layer of dust.

There was a low knock on the door, like the dull mood of the two of them. Seeing no one open the door in the middle of the ring, Chu Yuanjing suddenly felt a little bored and shouted: "What's the matter, the fourth uncle is not at home, is it possible that even the door is gone?" In the shout, Chu Yuanjing waved his hand and slapped it a few times, making a banging sound, which echoed quietly in this silent night.

This time, the Zhiwang Mansion finally responded, and a sound of procrastination of footsteps came from the courtyard. Or it hasn't been opened for a long time, and when it opens the door, there is a clanging sound, and then an old man with gray hair pokes his head out of the door.

Seeing that there were really people, the old man was obviously a little surprised. After glancing at the two of them with dim eyes, the old man spoke, "Young man, you have made a mistake. In the midst of the feeble voice, the gray-haired old man had stepped back to close the door.

Seeing this, Chu Yuanjing hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold down the gate and shouted, "We are here to see the fourth aunt and Xiaofei." ”

Hearing Chu Yuanjing's words, a cold light suddenly flashed in the gray-haired old man's eyes, and after carefully looking at the two of them, he said, "I don't know you, you are wrong, leave quickly." ”

Taking a step forward, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and said, "I, Chu Haoyu, specially came to meet the fourth sister-in-law, and I troubled my father-in-law. ”

At this moment, Chu Yuanjing also said: "I, Chu Yuanjing, used to come to Xiaofei to play, but now I look like this." ”

After looking at the two of them carefully for a moment, the old man finally said: "It's a bit similar, but my wife has rested early and it's inconvenient to see guests, so please go back." At the end of the sentence, the old man pushed the door and tried to close it.

Chu Haoyu also stretched out his hand and pressed on the door, opened his mouth and said: "When I went out of the mountain, the fourth brother specially asked me to come and see the fourth sister-in-law and Xiaofei, and take him to say hello. Trouble the old man to say goodbye, and said that Xiao Qi came to meet the fourth sister-in-law. ”

Hearing Chu Haoyu mention his master, the old man was obviously stunned, and finally nodded and said, "Wait a minute, the old slave will go and tell his wife." After saying that, the old man wanted to close the door, not wanting to be stopped by the two. Seeing this, the old man finally did not insist, turned around and walked back.

Seeing the old man leave and glancing at Chu Yuanjing, Chu Haoyu said, "Go in and wait." ”

Pushing open the door and entering, looking at the weeds growing in the cracks, after a moment of silence, Chu Haoyu couldn't help but shake his head, and said, "I don't know how the eldest brother and the fourth brother will feel when they see this scene?" ”

Chu Yuanjing didn't dare to take on this topic, and said with a wry smile: "A few of us, only Xiaofei likes to read and can't talk, I haven't seen him for two years, and I don't know what has become of him, and he still recognizes me as a second brother." ”

Chu Haoyu understood what Chu Yuanjing meant, and he didn't speak, just stood quietly, trying to calm his heart.

This time, the two didn't have to wait long for the gray-haired old man to come out of the backyard. Or because of the inconvenience of his legs and feet, the old man walked very slowly, and his rickety body was like a candle in the wind.

Walking to the door, the old man bowed to the two of them and said, "Two, it is inconvenient for my wife to meet guests, please leave as soon as possible." Also, don't come again, please! At the end of the words, the old man waved his hand and motioned for the two to leave.

"What?" In the midst of the unbearable exclamation, Chu Yuanjing shouted: "How can this be, did you tell the fourth aunt the names of the two of us?" ”

The old man sighed and said, "Two kindnesses, my wife understands it, and please don't embarrass my wife." ”

"I'm afraid you don't want to embarrass us!" Glancing at the old man, Chu Haoyu then said: "If you go to the fourth sister-in-law again, you will say that Xiao Qi and Xiao Jing will come to visit." "A plain tone, but the unquestionable majesty of the royal children.

Seeing the embarrassed look on the old man's face, Chu Yuanjing also opened his mouth and said, "You go to find Xiaofei first, just say that I, Chu Yuanjing, have come to see him, if he still recognizes me as the second brother, he will come out to see us." ”

"No, you don't." Sensing Chu Yuanjing's gaze, Chu Haoyu looked at the shade of the tree in the distance and said, "Xiao Fei is already here." Suddenly, Chu Yuanjing also looked over.

Because of the words of the two, Chu Yuanfei, who was hiding under the shade of the tree and looking at the two of them, couldn't help but tremble, not wanting this slight movement to be noticed by Chu Haoyu. Seeing that both of them looked over, Chu Yuanfei hesitated for a moment, and finally walked out of the shadows.

Chu Yuanfei is not as tall as his father Chu Haoxu, his medium stature is even a little thin, but he looks extremely quiet because he has been reading poetry for a long time, and the experience of the past two years has made him seem mature that does not match his age.

Seeing the person coming clearly, the gray-haired old man bowed and saluted, "I've seen the eldest young master." ”

Chu Yuanfei snorted lightly and said, "Uncle Zhong, you go down." After finishing speaking, Chu Yuanfei just looked at the two of them. I don't know how long it took, Chu Yuanfei asked calmly, "Why are you here?" ”

"Of course I'm coming to see you." While speaking, Chu Yuanjing felt a little dull, so he pretended to be angry and shouted: "Okay, Xiaofei, you won't come out when you see us, if Xiao Qi didn't open his mouth, he would really hide it from you." However, I haven't seen you for two years, and your kid's kung fu has grown a lot, so we can compare and contrast when we have time. ”

When Chu Yuanjing's words fell, Chu Haoyu let out a chuckle and said, "Xiaofei, you weren't good at martial arts before, why did you suddenly change your personality and abandon literature and martial arts?" However, he still doesn't like to talk as much as before. Without waiting for Chu Yuanfei to speak, Chu Haoyu seemed to have put this question behind him, walked up to Chu Yuanfei and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Xiaofei, go, take us to see your mother." ”

Seeing Chu Yuanfei make any moves, Chu Haoyu snorted lightly and said, "What's the matter, you won't take us over?" ”

After staring at the two of them for a moment, Chu Yuanfei said calmly: "You shouldn't come, let's go!" At the end of the words, Chu Yuanfei turned around directly, looking like he was leaving, but he didn't want the two of them to see his weakness.

"What?" In the midst of the shouting, Chu Yuanjing jumped to Chu Yuanfei's side and grabbed his shoulder, shouting: "Xiaofei, what are you talking about, we, we, and we ......" Suddenly seeing Chu Yuanfei's face, Chu Yuanjing couldn't say any more.

Since he was a child, because of Chu Yuanfei's quietness, Chu Yuanjing has always regarded himself as a big brother and protected him behind him, and now, seeing that his former face has turned black and become resolute and firm, Chu Yuanjing can't help but sigh. The low sigh was like the helplessness in the hearts of several people.

Looking at Chu Yuanfei's back, looking at this emaciated body that was the same age as himself but had borne too much, Chu Haoyu, who had always talked a lot, didn't know what to say.

Shaking his head and wanting to throw out the boredom in his heart, Chu Yuanjing deliberately laughed and shouted: "I haven't seen you for two years, you kid even dare to rush out of the door, it's really bold!" ”

At this moment, Chu Haoyu also let out a thief laugh and said with a smile: "Of course, you don't want to think about it, Xiao Fei used to practice literature and now practice martial arts, he is a real civil and military man, both brave and strategic, I can't say that in the future, we kids will hide behind Xiao Fei." It was a comforting word, but the world is unpredictable, and it can't really come true.

While speaking, Chu Haoyu also walked over, patted Chu Yuanfei on the shoulder and said, "Xiaofei, I haven't seen you for three years, you look much stronger than before, and the little white face is tanned." However, his eyes are a little similar to the fourth brother, haha......" In the laughter, Chu Haoyu said again: "Go, take us to meet your mother." ”

Taking a deep breath, Chu Yuanfei kept his voice as steady as possible, and said, "You really want to go in?" ”

With a cold snort, Chu Yuanjing shouted: "Nonsense, if you don't come, you won't be here, and you won't lead the way." After a pause at this, Chu Yuanjing snorted coldly again, and said, "Don't look at your kid who has grown up now, I still dare to beat you." ”

With a snort, Chu Haoyu laughed and shouted: "Xiao Jing, what you said reminds me of when I was a child, in order to force Xiao Fei to practice martial arts, we forced him to enter the martial arts arena, and every time I was beaten by you, I was bruised and purple. After a pause, Chu Haoyu laughed again, and then said: "Hehe, it's not that I forced him to practice martial arts, the main thing is that I don't want him to study with peace of mind, otherwise my father should reprimand the two of us." Speaking of this, Chu Haoyu cleared his throat even more, and said in the tone of his father: "Xiao Qi, Xiao Jing, you two can't learn from Xiao Fei, read more books, and live in peace for a while." ”

Hearing Chu Haoyu be so direct, Chu Yuanjing was a little embarrassed, touched his head and said: "You don't know, I don't like to read when I was a child, and my head hurts when I see a book, but the emperor's grandfather wants to take the subset of scripture and history, every time I am trained by you, you have to be praised, Xiaoqi, Xiaobo, you two are watching the excitement on the side." But I'm measured, I look scary, it's okay to rub some medicine, but it's not like Xiaofei you, every time the emperor takes you, you don't hide it, I'm afraid that the emperor doesn't know how hard you work. ”

Hearing the two of them say this, Chu Yuanfei also thought of the past, and showed a touch of warmth on his face, but his voice was still flat, and said, "Since you are not afraid, then come." ”

Seeing Chu Yuanfei take a step and glance at Chu Yuanjing, the two of them let out a knowing smile at the same time and followed.
