The maple trees of Luoxia Mountain become forests, every year in the golden autumn season, the red leaves of the mountains echo with the clouds in the sky, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a wonder of the world, attracting countless literati and ink writers to come to seek seclusion and explore the victory.

At sunset, the setting sun and the maple forest are the same color, the clouds and mist blend with the cooking smoke, and there are more tired birds in the nest, like a dream. is such a beautiful day, but one of them has a kinship that can't be concealed.

The first person is burly, rough in appearance, riding a high-headed horse, if you add a pair of armor, you must be a peerless general. This person is indeed a fierce general, and he is the commander of the forbidden army, Chu Zheng, but he is wearing sackcloth today, and he has lost his former vigor but is a little sluggish.

Behind Chu Zheng was a wide carriage, and the person driving the carriage was Chu Da, the leader of the Praetorian Guards. Chuda was also dressed in a linen robe, with deep wrinkles, dim eyes, and a rickety body, all of which were deeply tired, but he drove the carriage extremely carefully, rarely shaking.

There was also a carriage behind Chuda, driven by a young man in sackcloth. The young man is thin and medium-looking, but his eyes are like electricity, his bearing is calm, and his swinging horsewhip is like a dragon, and his kung fu is not bad.

The carriage was followed by several people, all of them in gray linen clothes, and although their faces were full of wind and dust, they did not show any fatigue, and they were extremely careful and guarded.

No one was speechless, except for the sound of horses' hooves and wheels, which was even more dull. In the silence, Chu Zheng suddenly shouted: "Big brother, there is Luoxia Town in front, and if you go up further, you will abandon the horse." ”

Chu Zheng's words fell for a long time, and Chu Dacai said in a hoarse voice: "Stop in front, don't enter the village." ”

Stopping the carriage, Chu Da came to the second carriage and bowed down and said, "Young Master, there is Luoxia Town in front." After a pause, Chu Dacai continued: "If you go up further, you can't get through the carriage, so I hope the young master will move." ”

When Chuda's words fell, the curtain of the door had been lifted, and a child in a mourning dress walked out. The child is about eleven or twelve years old, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, red lips and white teeth, and he looks extremely cute, but there is unbearable sadness on Guanyu's face.

At the moment when the child stepped out of the carriage, Chu Da, Chu Zheng, the gray-clothed young man, and a group of guards bowed down one after another, because he was the seventh son of the first emperor Chu Tianfeng, Chu Haoyu.

Stepping out of the carriage and looking up at the mountain peak in front of him, Chu Haoyu sighed lightly and said, "Luoxia Peak, alas! I'm going to ask my father. ”

With Chu Haoyu's words, the guards immediately knelt down. Walking to the first carriage, Chu Haoyu knelt on the ground and respectfully bowed: "Father, Xiao Qi has given you a greeting!" ”

In a voice full of relatives, Chu Haoyu kowtowed heavily, and then continued: "Father, there is Luoxia Peak in front, Xiao Qi will help you up." ”

Standing up, Chu Haoyu reached out and opened the car door, revealing a coffin. The coffin carved a dragon, because among them is Chu Tianfeng, the founding emperor of the Tianchu Kingdom.

"Uncle Da," in just two words, there were tears dripping from Chu Haoyu's eyes. Closing his eyes, Chu Haoyu turned his head even more and said, "Uncle Da, Uncle Zheng, I'll leave it to you." ”

Walking to the carriage, Chu Dahua's eyes were hazy. Stretching out his hand to hold the coffin, Chuda shouted, "Get on!" ”

In the shouting, Chu Da and Chu Zheng lifted the coffin vigorously at the same time, and walked towards the mountain step by step. The dull footsteps seemed to step on the bottom of everyone's hearts.

The mountain road was rugged, but the coffin never shook in the slightest; The night was difficult, but Chuda felt that time was so fast.

Escorting Chu Tianfeng to the peak, the sky was already white, and a touch of red spread out among them, dyeing the heavens and the earth red. Or because of this red glow, Chu Haoyu's black and white eyes were full of bloodshots.

Seeing Chu Haoyu looking at Chaoxia in a daze, Chu Da said softly: "Young master, the time has come, it's time to go into the ground." ”

Turning his head to look at the pitch-black coffin, Chu Haoyu didn't speak, just waved his hand. Seeing this, Chu Da endured his grief and shouted: "Buried!" ”

Seeing the coffin falling little by little, watching the dirt shovel piled up, Chu Haoyu's eyes were red, and his five fingers were even pinched into the flesh.

When the grave was completed, Chu Haoyu, who had not spoken all night, suddenly said: "All retreat, Uncle Da stays, no one is allowed to come up unless ordered by this son." ”

Suddenly, everyone looked at Chu Haoyu, and there was confusion in their eyes, especially Chu Zheng.

Looking at his young master, Chu Da sighed and waved his hand and said, "Go down!" ”

Seeing this, the guards immediately retreated after saluting, it was Chu Zheng, although he had no choice but to leave.

When only Chu Haoyu and Chu Zheng were left on the top of the mountain, Chu Haoyu stared at Chu Da and said, "Uncle Da, now there are only three people: you, me, and my father, you tell Xiao Qi in front of your father, is your father assassinated?" ”

Under Chu Haoyu's gaze, Chu Da finally nodded his head, but before he could speak, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and asked, "Who?" ”

With another light sigh, Chu Da said in a hoarse voice: "Young master, you are still too young, when you grow up, the old slave will tell you." ”

After staring at Chu Da for a moment, Chu Haoyu asked again: "Why did my father bury his real body here, instead of the emperor's tomb?" ”

As if guessing Chu Haoyu's question, Chu Da smiled bitterly: "The master's last order must not be violated." ”

Neither of the two questions got the answers he wanted, but Chu Haoyu understood that Chu Da was unwilling to tell himself. After a moment of silence, Chu Haoyu said slowly: "Since it is the last order of my father, Xiao Qi will not ask again." Uncle Da, you go down first, my father loves Xiao Qi the most, and I want to accompany my father. ”

Seeing Chu Haoyu's expression, Chu Da had a trace of unbearability in his eyes, and said softly: "Young master, you are the most loved by the master, so I specially asked me not to tell you, the master just wants you to be happy and happy." At the end of the words, Chu Da bowed down and retreated, and his rickety body pulled out a long shadow.

Looking at Chu Da, Chu Haoyu couldn't help but didn't speak, but there were tears in the corners of his eyes.

Unconsciously, autumn went to winter, and the heavy snow turned Luoxia Mountain into a frozen world, but in this sky full of ice and snow, two figures were flying up and down, exuding Dao sword qi.

One of them has sword eyebrows and starry eyes, dressed in white, if he is not young, he must be a good son, it is Chu Haoyu who guards filial piety in the mountains, and the indifferent young man who practices with him is Chu Peng, Chu Haoyu's personal guard.

Seeing that Chu Haoyu's swordsmanship was smart and calm, Chu Zheng, who was standing solemnly on one side, opened his mouth and said, "The young master has changed. ”

It has indeed changed, in the past, Chu Haoyu regarded martial arts training more as fun, but now his expression is focused and calm, it is Chu Peng, who is a teenager who is older than Chu Haoyu, and he also has to be very energetic to block Chu Haoyu's offensive.

Chu Da knew the reason for Chu Haoyu's change, especially when he saw the light in his eyes, he couldn't help but sigh.

Listening to the eldest brother's sigh, Chu Zheng couldn't help but ask, "Big brother, what are you sighing for?" It's a good thing that the young master can concentrate on practicing martial arts! ”

Shaking his head, Chu Da said slowly: "In the past, the young master didn't like to study, didn't want to practice martial arts, and only wanted to have fun, but the master never forced the young master to mess around. Now, the young master reads, practices martial arts, and is no longer naughty, but he no longer has the liveliness and laughter he used to have. You say, what will the owner think when he sees it? At the end of the words, there was another sigh, and Chu Dacai continued: "It's because I failed to protect the master, the eldest brother is ashamed of the master, and the young master is ashamed." ”

"Big Brother ......" looked at Chu Dan's wrinkled face, and then looked at his gray hair, but Chu Zheng didn't know what to say, what to say, and what to say, and in the end he could only turn into a low sigh.

Looking at Chu Haoyu who was dressed in white, Chu Da's voice became deeper and lower, and said: "The five of us brothers are just slaves of the Chu family, thanks to the old master's fancy to teach us martial arts, and the master treats our brothers like brothers and sisters." Later, the world was in turmoil, and the master had great ambitions, and our brothers should serve as saddle horses. Although the five of us are not brothers, we have practiced martial arts together since childhood, and we have braved countless bloody storms together, which is comparable to brothers. You all treat me as a big brother, but I couldn't keep the second and third children, big brother, I'm ashamed of you. ”

At this moment, Chu Da's dim eyes were already covered with a layer of mist. Waving his hand to stop Chu Zheng from speaking, Chu Da continued: "The second child blocked a sword for the master, and the third child died in the chaos, but for the sake of the master, it is worth dying." However, the world is too peaceful, but I can't protect the safety of the master, so that the little master has become like this, under the nine springs in the future, how will I meet the master, how to face the second and third ......"

Chu Zheng was already a fiery character, and when he heard Chu Da say this, he couldn't help but interrupt Chu Da and shouted, "Big brother, don't say it." How many brothers are we, who has you been injured more? Big brother, don't say any more. At the end of the words, Chu Zheng's voice was a little choked.

Shaking his head, Chu Da did not stop but continued: "The master is the strictest with the eldest young master, because he wants the eldest young master to become a generation of Ming Jun, so he is strict and merciful, and the eldest young master does not live up to the high expectations of the master, and he will definitely become a generation of holy masters." The most reassuring thing for the master is the little master, so he asked a few of us to protect the little master, and even specially asked the little master to go into the mountains to guard filial piety. ”

Speaking of this, Chu Da turned his head to look at Chu Zheng and said: "Fifth brother, the eldest brother is old, you must protect the little master well, if something goes wrong, our brothers will really have no face to meet the master." ”

Under Chu Da's gaze, Chu Zheng was a little confused, and asked with doubts: "Big brother, you have confused me." The young master is talented and intelligent, he is not weak in kung fu at a young age, and he has a few of us to protect him, what do you have to worry about? What's more, when the period of filial piety expires, the young master should be crowned king, so there is no need to worry about it at all. ”

Chu Da didn't know how to explain to Chu Zheng, and even more so that he couldn't explain to Chu Zheng, he opened his mouth to say something, but in the end it turned into a sigh, but at this moment, a voice sounded behind the two of them, saying: "The five tigers of the Chu family are really good men!" ”

The voice was clear and peaceful, even if he knew who was coming, Chu Zheng still turned his head to look over, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
