The next morning, Ah Fan went to greet his grandmother. Ah Yu took advantage of Ah Fan's absence and entered his father's room.

Maybe it was the reason why his son Ah Fan accompanied him last night. At this time, Second Master Ling saw his eldest son come in, and he showed a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time.

Ah Yu served his father to eat first, and then sent his father's little servants Ling Ke and Li Cun out.

Ah Yu looked at his father, and he didn't know how to speak for a while. He had to ask his father some questions about his health first. But I didn't expect my father to hear him ask about his physical condition, and his face turned gloomy again.

Ah Yu stubbornly said, "Father, is there any misunderstanding between you and your uncle?"

Second Master Ling hesitated for a moment, but he didn't squeak. Since there is no squeak, it should be a tacit acquiescence, and sure enough, I guessed correctly.

Ah Yu said: "Father, if you have any contradictions with your second uncle, you should resolve them as soon as possible, otherwise you will not feel good in your heart." ”

Second Master Ling closed his eyes and said, "The matter between me and your uncle is not something that can be explained clearly in one or two sentences, so you don't need to ask." ”

Ah Yu smiled helplessly and said, "I don't want to ask, but you curse your uncle while sleeping, which can't be hidden." ”

Second Master Ling was taken aback: "What did they all hear?"

"They just said that you scolded Uncle in your dream and wanted to kill Uncle. Why do you hate Uncle so much, didn't you get along well all the time before you were injured, what went wrong?" Ah Yu looked at his father and asked earnestly, he really hoped that his father could give him a clear answer.

Second Master Ling was speechless, could he say to his son, I assassinated your eldest brother, and I would cut off their grain and grass? No, he couldn't say that there was collusion between him and King An, which violated the teachings of the old marquis.

Second Master Ling's face was gloomy and about to drip water. He looked at his eldest son for a moment, and was speechless for a long time.

Although he was already prepared in his heart, Ah Yu suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, the contradiction between his father and his uncle may not be acceptable to him and Ah Fan, otherwise his father would not have reached this point and did not say anything.

Ah Yu wanted to make a final effort, so he said: "Father, your leg is already like this, and Ah Fan and I may have to be taken care of by the uncle and eldest brother in the future." In the future, if the uncle and the eldest brother come to visit you, the son hopes that you will let them in. You're like this, uncle, he will slowly let go, and he won't care anymore. ”。

Second Master Ling suddenly burst out and roared: "Don't mention that bastard again, if it weren't for him, my legs wouldn't be ......." He was suddenly silenced, and his eyes looked at Ah Yu with some horror.

Ah Yu was a very smart and flexible young man, he immediately caught the information in his father's words, and he immediately asked: "What did you say, does your leg have anything to do with your uncle?"

Second Master Ling's sweat came down, he knew that he didn't control his emotions well, he said that he leaked his mouth, he hurriedly said: "No, I mean, if he had come in time that day, I wouldn't have done this, and I would have been saved." ”

Ah Yu was so shrewd, he stared at his father's rapidly changing look, and his heart was cold. He suddenly had a terrible conjecture, so he forced him to ask again: "Father, don't hide it, you are because of your uncle, your legs have become like this?"

Second Master Ling knew that he couldn't hide it, so he nodded dejectedly.

He said eagerly, "What the hell is going on? Are you here to save your uncle?"

Second Master Ling shook his head: "It was I who offended your uncle, this is his punishment for me." He suddenly lost his temper: "You don't ask anymore, you go out, you go out." ”

Ah Yu's heart was shocked, the news his father said was too shocking, could it be that the uncle broke his father's leg with his own hands. His face turned pale, he took two steps back and said, "Father, what you said is not true, how can he break your leg to punish you, uncle, you must have said something wrong, right? ”

Saying that, he walked out, as soon as he walked out of the door, he froze, outside the door Ah Fan didn't know when he came back, his two hands were clenched into fists, and the green tendons on his hands were violent.

Ah Yu woke up suddenly, he shook Ah Fan and asked eagerly, "Ah Fan, are you okay?"

Ah Fan glanced at him, turned around and left, his steps urgent.

Ah Yu shouted anxiously: "Third brother, where are you going?

The direction in which Ah Fan went was King Lingjun's study. The brothers walked in a hurry, one after the other, and everyone along the way was surprised. The two brothers are usually very steady, but what happened today, one with a blue face and the other with an anxious face.

The king was not in the study, he had just finished breakfast. Today is the time for Mu to rest, and even Ling Yuanhang and his wife took Xiao Jiahui to eat in their couple's room.

At this time, someone came to report, saying that the third son went to the study angrily, and the second son also followed behind, not knowing what happened.

The father and son glanced at each other, and King Ling Jun said, "Something happened to the second room of the Eight Cities, I'll go and see." So saying, he walked out.

Ling Yuanhang also said, "I'll go with you." ”

When the two came to the study, they saw Ah Yu and Ah Fan brothers standing here waiting, and their faces were not very good.

Ling Yuanhang smiled and said, "What's the matter? ”

The two of them saluted the father and son of King Lingjun first, after all, they were the children of a big family, and they were angry in their hearts, but the number of etiquette still had to be enough. Besides, this time, the mood of the two of them calmed down a little.

Ah Yu said expressionlessly: "Uncle, eldest brother, let's go into the study and talk." ”

King Ling Jun glanced at him, didn't say anything, raised his legs and entered the study.

As soon as Ah Fan came in, he asked, "Uncle, did you get my father's leg?"

King Ling Jun and Ling Yuanhang were both shocked in their hearts, they originally wanted to hide this matter all along, how could Ah Fan and Ah Yu know. The father and son glanced at each other, and their hearts couldn't help but feel heavy.

King Ling Jun said to the brothers, "Ah Yu, Ah Fan, you two should sit down first." Now that you know, let's talk about it today. ”

Ah Fan didn't sit down, he craned his neck, his eyes were red and asked loudly: "Uncle, why is this, I have always admired you very much and respected you very much, but why is it you, how much do you hate my father, so that you can punish him by mutilating him." ”

Ah Yu looked at King Ling Jun with red eyes: "Yes, uncle, my father must have done something that is particularly sorry for you." But you don't have to, even if you let us move out of the second room. But why would you want to do that?"

King Ling Jun was in a heavy mood, he looked at the two brothers who were unable to control themselves in excitement, then looked at his son, and then he closed his eyes.

Ling Yuanhang walked to the two brothers, and put his two strong hands on Ah Yu and Ah Fan's shoulders respectively, and he said to the two younger brothers: "You sit down first, this matter is a long story, and it is not something that can be explained clearly in one sentence or two, and my father originally wanted to hide it from you." ”

Ah Yu was more rational than Ah Fan, he pulled his younger brother and said to him, "Ah Fan, let's sit down first and listen to what the eldest uncle and eldest brother have to say." ”

Ling Yuanhang saw that his father's eyes were still closed, but the frowning brow showed the extreme torment in his heart now, he sighed and said, "Let me tell you, this matter started when I returned to my hometown in Luochuan from the border pass when I was thirteen years old to visit the graves of my grandfather and mother. ”

Then Ling Yuanhang uncovered the various behaviors of Second Master Ling in a calm tone. He first talked about the merciless assassination and pursuit of him by Second Master Ling a few years ago, and Ah Fan jumped up in shock: "Impossible, how can my father be so vicious, this is impossible, I don't believe it." ”

Ah Yu's heart was as if he was tightly strangled by a thread, and he felt a little out of breath.

Ling Yuanhang pressed Ah Fan to sit on the collapse again, and said, "Third brother, this is what the second uncle personally admitted, this is a fact. Listen to me again. So he talked about the collusion between Master Ling and King An and the Wei family, and talked about the last time the northwest transported grain to poison the horses, delayed the military rations, and tried to make himself and his father's military rations not engage in the battle and die on the battlefield. His tone was calm, but his every word was like a nail to the brothers' hearts.

"Your sister-in-law and my father-in-law used a strategy to prevent him, and they also kept the food and the rations of the 200,000 troops in the northwest. In order to keep it secret, your sister-in-law, a female streamer, personally transported food to the front line, and was attacked by Duoyan, the first warrior of Warat, on the front line, and almost no one came back. She fought with Duo Yan from midnight to dawn, and she miscarried because of it, and my first child was gone," he said, with a misty tear in his eyes.

Ah Yu and Ah Fan were stunned and didn't know how to describe their mood at the moment. They knew that their sister-in-law went to the northwest to transport military rations, and they only thought that the military rations were donated by their aunt and sister-in-law, but they didn't expect that there would be such an inside story. What they couldn't bear even more was that the sister-in-law lost her first child in the northwest, which was also their first nephew or niece. It was the first grandson of the eldest uncle, the first child of the eldest brother, and it was because the father was gone. This news was simply beyond what they could bear, and they looked at Ling Yuanhang blankly.

Ling Yuanhang wiped his eyes and said, "Your sister-in-law still doesn't know that she has lost a child herself. At that time, she was exhausted after the war and was in a coma for a long time. No one told her, and we were all afraid that she would not be able to withstand the blow. And in the great war at that time, you also later learned that you lost a lot of guards, including the female soldiers of the concubine. Your sister-in-law is in a trance because of the death of these people. At that time in the Northwest, I looked at her stupid, and I was really afraid that she wouldn't be able to get through it. ”

He looked at the two brothers bitterly: "Do you say that it is too much for my father to waste one of his legs?"

Ah Yu and Ah Fan were speechless, this punishment was too light for their father.

King Ling Jun took over at this time and said: "Your grandfather had a request before his death, and the people of our county palace are not allowed to participate in the struggle for the throne, and we only support the heir designated by the emperor. Now that the emperor has appointed the crown prince, although we don't know what the final outcome of the royal family will be, we must not have anything to do with the royal people. I reminded your father that he didn't listen to me and made such a big mistake. If the emperor knows, our entire county palace will be affected. ”

He paused and said, "I can't beat him to death, so I want to get him out of the clan, but I think it will affect you children, so crippled him is the only way I can come up with." This not only allowed him to be punished, but also cut off his connection with King An and the Wei family, and saved all the people in our county palace. ”

Ah Yu and Ah Fan fell to their knees, and the brothers only shouted: "Uncle," and they couldn't speak anymore and cried bitterly.
