Chapter Twenty-Four: Like a Dream

In a trance, Chen Xiaoyi seemed to hear a shout of killing, as if there was a battlefield. He felt that the six senses were recovering, and when he opened his eyes, there was a firelight, and the shouts of killing echoed all around, and he didn't know how many people were fighting.

Chen Xiaoyi let go of his senses, followed the direction from which the voice came, and found a huge courtyard. Not far away, countless men in black poured out of the darkness frantically, armed with sharp weapons, rushing to kill. Blocking them was a group of government soldiers dressed in brocade.

The scene was chaotic into a pot of porridge, and the sound of iron clashes, screams, and shouts were mixed together so that people could not make out the sound at all. Seeing that the number of government soldiers has decreased sharply, it is impossible to resist. One of the leading government soldiers shouted: "The thief is fierce, go and report to the prince quickly!"

Chen Xiaoyi was looking at it in a daze, and suddenly he was in a trance again, but he saw that he was in a magnificent house. The candlelight in the house is bright, the curtain is like a waterfall, and the porcelain light is full of luxury.

At the moment, the room is very quiet and peaceful. A middle-aged man in a silk brocade robe sat upright on the Taishi chair, his eyes were closed, his face was expressionless, but the thumb of his right hand pressed a golden dragon ring on his index finger, stroking back and forth.

To the right of the middle-aged man are a mother and son. The woman was wearing a long lilac dress and a gilded phoenix-tailed hairpin, and her appearance was extremely beautiful, her temperament was noble, and her expression was full of tenderness and love. She was holding a boy of four or five years old. The child was very thin, but his eyes were clear and bright, and he was very bright.

Chen Xiaoyi stared at the child's eyes, and a strange feeling suddenly appeared in his heart, such a pair of eyes, he seemed to have seen them somewhere. The scene at this moment pierced deep into his heart, a family of three, warm and harmonious, how beautiful it is!

As an orphan, Chen Xiaoyi's longing for home has always been buried in his heart, even for the Acropolis. Perhaps, both of them care the same, so in the years of living together, they talked about the world and people, but they never talked about the topic of "home".

It's because I care so much that I never mention it.

Many people have such a complex, what they really desire in their hearts, never want to show it, and what they show is just a side that they want others to see. Chen Xiaoyi is like this, and so is Acropolis. The Acropolis always looks very arrogant on weekdays, except for Chen Xiaoyi, there seems to be no one or thing in this world that can make him care. But what kind of thoughts he had in his heart was known only to him.

Seeing this warm scene, Chen Xiaoyi's heart was extremely anxious. Because he knew that there was a gang of thieves outside who were about to break the warmth. He didn't want that to happen, even though he knew it was just wishful thinking.

In this moment of great anxiety, he blurted out: "The thieves outside are about to break in." ”

Something surprising happened, at the moment when Chen Xiaoyi opened his mouth, a child's voice really came out. The next moment, Chen Xiaoyi was surprised to find that he had become that child, and he was lying in the bad of that beautiful woman.

He looked at the middle-aged man again, but saw that the man opened his eyes, looked at him lovingly, and said, "Don't be afraid, as a royal family, don't be afraid of Xiaoxiao!"

At this moment, Chen Xiaoyi's heart really settled down. A familiar feeling welled up in his heart, and he thought of the Acropolis at this time, and thought of many things in the past. The Acropolis would always tell him not to be afraid, everything was in the way of the big brother.

However, everything that happened at this moment made him cry. Parents, these two important characters who were supposed to give him warmth and peace of mind when he was young, have been missing in his memories all these years of life. Although the Acropolis is as close as a father and brother, it still cannot replace this important position after all.

Although Chen Xiaoyi is now in his twenties and can have his own opinions on many things, the lack of emotion in his childhood has always existed after all. Once this emotion is awakened, it is indeed a bit out of control.

Seeing the child leaving tears, Chen Xiaoyi's "mother" hurriedly held his little face, wiped away the tears for him, and comforted: "An'er, don't be afraid." ”

In just four words, Chen Xiaoyi's heart swelled with all kinds of emotions. He had dreamed, fantasized and longed for such a similar scene many times. Whenever he was bullied and suffered humiliation alone, how he longed for an elder who could comfort him, give him courage, and grow with him.

Just when Chen Xiaoyi was full of emotion, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door. After a while, a voice sounded: "Lord Wang, the thieves are powerful, and the brothers have suffered countless casualties, I'm afraid I can't resist it, please make a decision!"

Bang!

Chen Xiaoyi's "father" slammed the table and stood up. He walked a few steps inside the room, his face very calm, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, Chen Xiaoyi frowned when he saw him. But soon, those wrinkles began to unfold again.

Chen Xiaoyi saw that the "father" stopped, his eyes fixed on the "mother" and himself, and said: "Yun'er, let Zhou Escort take you and An'er to leave the palace first, and then take your mother and son back when the king eradicates the thieves." ”

Chen Xiaoyi's "mother" suddenly shed tears, and choked up: "Husband and wife are birds in the same forest, how can they fly separately when disaster comes, if they go this time, I am afraid that there will be no day to see each other in this life, and let Zhou Huwei leave with An'er, Yun'er is only willing to live and die with the prince." ”

The prince came to the front in three or two steps, held Yun'er's shoulders with both hands, and said in a deep voice: "Yun'er, you have to be obedient, only if your mother and son are safe, this king can resist the enemy with peace of mind!" , Yun'er just shook her head, letting the tears slide down, and she didn't care about messing up her makeup.

Chen Xiaoyi was sandwiched between the two and felt helpless. His heart was suddenly occupied by a force, and he said, "The child is willing to fight the enemy with his father!" The prince stretched out his right hand, stroked the back of his head, and said: "An'er has this courage, my father is very pleased, An'er can rest assured, with this king here, I will ensure the safety of your mother and son!"

The prince looked at their "mother and son" with a look of pity, but suddenly said: "Zhou Huwei, this king ordered you to take the princess and the prince away from the palace quickly, there must be no mistake!" , a bloodied guard knelt down outside the door, choked up, "Lord Wang, take care!"

The prince hugged the "mother and son" in his arms and said softly: "Go quickly, I am afraid of change." With that, he pushed the two of them out of the door. At this time, the princess suddenly kissed the child deeply on the cheek, stuffed a piece of jade pendant into the child's chest with her right hand, and then pushed him in front of Zhou Huwei, but her left hand grabbed the prince's arm.

Chen Xiaoyi fell on top of Zhou Huwei, and heard the princess's voice behind him: "An'er is handed over to you, leave quickly!" Chen Xiaoyi turned his head just in time to see the prince nodding heavily at Zhou Guard. Zhou Huwei kowtowed three times in a row, then picked up Chen Xiaoyi and turned to leave.
