The sky bathed by the morning sun is very lively, which is in stark contrast to the inside of my house.

The crowd of people coming and going on the street, hawkers, stalls, eating, and even I saw a middle-aged man in the distance, wearing a simple and simple cyan gown, with a thin hair ribbon,

On the street in the early morning, he ran fast, ran and jumped while reaching out and punching two punches in the air, quite a martial artist.

When I looked, wasn't this the city guard at the gate of the palace two days ago? And I took Peace by the hand, and went up to him, and bowed my hand to him, saying,

"I've seen the general who defends the city." Because I don't know what his surname is, and I don't know what his position is, I have to call it that for the time being.

He stopped, heard me call me like this, and was stunned for a moment, what he didn't expect was that he actually knew me.

"Don't dare, subordinate Daniel Zhang, I've seen Captain Ji."

Hey, the people who guard the palace call themselves subordinates, it seems that my grade is not low, I asked puzzled,

"Dare to ask the general's name, why do you call yourself a subordinate official?"

"You are a seventh-rank lieutenant personally appointed by His Majesty, and the lower official is just a small city gate order with no grade, so it is also appropriate to call yourself a lower official."

I understand that grade is a symbol of status in the Moon Dynasty, which is like a leader of a public institution in a small city who comes to a big city to see a civil servant section chief and is still polite.

No matter how high your position is, if you are not a state cadre, it is nonsense.

But this person is not a small leader, this is the guard of the front door of the palace, the first insurance of the palace, the position is very important, in terms of honorable status, he must be above me,

People just said modestly, and when they understood the mystery, I smiled,

"Hey, hey, Brother Zhang is modest and low-key, and the younger brother admires him, since we have the fate to meet today, it is better to be commensurate with our brothers in the future."

He may not have expected me to slap him, but a martial artist is naturally temperamental, and when he saw that I was sincere to her, he also laughed.

"Hahahaha, okay, brother, then it's decided!"

As for his position, in fact, there is no oil and water, it belongs to the boring industry of getting a dead salary, and there is no need for anyone to give him a gift, and he must have a waist card to testify when entering and leaving the palace.

If there is no waist card, someone else gives him a gift and sneaks in, once it is discovered, he will punish the nine clans,

Brothers intersected, regardless of origin, regardless of wealth, the two of us chatted while walking, and came to yesterday's small shop to eat a bowl of noodles, the noodles in this restaurant are a must, especially the clear soup and lo mein, which is called a delicious and delicious.

Of course, it must have been my guest.

I only heard him sit across from me and say, "My brother is really a blessed man, he worships Qipin at a young age, and it is really the first time I have seen him in the palace on an errand for more than ten years." ”

I smiled modestly, "Brother Zhang praised me falsely, it was His Majesty who looked up to me, in fact, how could I have such great ability." ”

"Huh? Brother, don't make fun of your brother, I still know very well what your majesty's temperament is, if you don't have real talent or outstanding ability, your majesty will definitely not promote you exceptionally. ”

I mysteriously leaned closer to him, and said in a low voice,

"Brother, Your Majesty has indeed entrusted my brother to do something, and if I am short of personnel, I will have to borrow it from you, and it will be convenient for my eldest brother to do it when the trouble comes."

He waved his hand, "Hey, what am I going to do?" As long as there is a warrant from His Majesty, let alone borrowing someone, you can kill someone. ”

To be honest, I like this kind of bold man, very principled, and there is no bad intention.

After happily eating a bowl of noodles, I set off for home, and promised His Majesty to bring back the musk requiem for him, and if I broke my promise, I guess my little lintel would be flattened by his guards.

After saying goodbye to Brother Zhang, he set off to run home, and when he got home, it was almost noon.

When I came to the front of the village, the old man who guarded the door said hello to me, "The young master is back!" ”

We nodded and smiled at him, and went straight to the house, and when we entered the house, we found that my father was wiping an antiquity with a handkerchief, which was a delicate and small bronze incense burner from the Western Zhou Dynasty.

It is also a treasure that he has cherished for many years, and he is reluctant to sell it, I stepped into the door and said to him,

"Dad, I'm back!"

My dad turned around and looked at me and smiled kindly,

"Yo, it's so idle today."

I came to his side, sat down on the couch, picked up the teacup I don't know who, and took two sips.

"If you want me to say, you can go to the capital with me, the house over there is very big, why are you so stubborn?"

"Hmph, forget it, your father and I, I'm used to living this idle cloud and wild crane days, guarding the crops every day, looking at the golden wheat field, isn't he fragrant? You asked me to move to the city, what do you want to do? ”

"Lin'er is back!" Before my father finished speaking, my mother's voice came from the back hall, I sat up and bowed to her.

"Mother, I'm back."

My mother walked up to me quickly, grabbed my arms with both hands, and said excitedly.

"Son, I heard that you worship the Captain of the Seventh Grade!?"

My mother is a very bourgeois person, and when she sees her son promising, she can't wait to brag to outsiders every day, I nodded,

"yes, that's right."

"Oh, my son is really promising, and he will work for the royal family in the future, which is really an iron job for a lifetime, unlike your father! After decades of mixing, I didn't even get out of the hall, and in the end it wasn't a nest, hiding in this small ravine! ”

I smiled awkwardly, and my dad suddenly said, "Huh? After a while, he thought that something seemed wrong, and asked,

"No, boy, if you don't have any real talent and real learning ability, how can Your Majesty promote you unusually? Hiss... No, no, no, you kid recruited me from the truth! ”

I can't hide this matter of helping Your Majesty fight, not to mention that I have Your Majesty's backing now, and I can still be afraid of you as a bad old man!?

My old god sat down on the couch on the ground, picked up the bottle that my father had just wiped, and said.

"Your Majesty wants to live forever, let me help him find the four holy relics, and I will take this job."

Originally, I thought it was a very angry thing, but I didn't expect my father to come up and give me a big mouth after hearing it, this old guy is very athletic, and this time he directly hit me with gold stars. He also cursed and scolded.

"You rebel! Didn't I tell you that tomb robberies are not allowed!? ”

I covered my face with my left hand and stood up aggrieved,

"Dad, Your Majesty knew about my joining the Tomb Sect before I entered the palace, and I have no way to refuse."

My dad heard me say that I joined the Tomb Sect, and he was even more angry! Deep fingers trembling at me!

"You, you, when did you join the Tomb Sect, you rebel, you're mad at me!"

I already regretted it when I said this, but I didn't expect this matter to be known by my father, and now that the matter is revealed, I have to explain it honestly,

"It's... Qingyang Zhenren, he is the daughter of the ingot, and he is the leader of the Tomb Sect. ”

My father was obviously stunned after hearing this, staring at me with incredible eyes, and after a while, he suddenly reacted.

"Good! All right! I really didn't expect it, this Shoucheng actually put me together, so it is, so it is, I understand it all!! ”

I saw that my father was a little crazy, so I quickly asked him, "Dad, what do you understand?" ”

"Hehehehe, I said that this bear blind man suddenly changed sex, and in the past few years, he has not shouted at me to focus on the old business, and he is going to pull my son into the water behind his back, second brother, second brother, you have a good calculation!"

The more I heard this, the more confused I became, "Dad! What the hell are you talking about!? ”

I brought these roars with this sentence, my heart was really flustered, he who had always been steady and not easy to get angry, was going crazy like a drunk stupid X at this moment!

But my mother understood it from the side, after all, he had been with my father for a long time, and explained to me with some fear,

"Son... I'm afraid all this... It's all designed, after Shoucheng retired, he often came to your father to talk about the old business, but your father was tired of the inverted bucket, and also promised me that he would never do this business again.

Later, he didn't have any contact with our family for many years in a fit of anger, until a few years ago, the blind bear suddenly came again, and he didn't mention the matter of returning to his old business.

It just so happened that one day that you quarreled with me and said that you wanted to be the captain of the touching Jin, he met Qingyang Zhenren and wanted to take you to learn art, and it happened that Qingyang Zhenren was the leader of the Tomb Sect, son, don't you think all this is too coincidental?

Shou Cheng is so good with Qingyang Zhenren, how could he not know his true identity. ”

At this moment, I seem to understand something, I'm afraid I was really sold, the blind bear used my mind to be the captain of Jin, and tricked me into going to Hanzhong to study.

And my teacher happened to be the leader of the Tomb Sect, and that day he happened to find out that I was peeking at "The Secret Art of Lotu", and then began to guide me step by step to join the Tomb Sect.

Later, the master gave the "Mountains and Rivers Collection" to His Majesty, and told him my identity, and then I entered the palace......

"Ah!!!h I let out a roar!

I always feel that these things are related somewhere, but they are always not connected!

What I don't understand the most is, what is his purpose in doing this? Why did he let me work in the robbery business? Why does Your Majesty trust me so much, a young man who has just been crowned?

"Even if I explain it to you now, it's useless, you have already promised Your Majesty, if you don't fulfill it, it will be the crime of bullying the king, the disaster of extermination,

Alas, son, my father tried his best not to let you engage in this industry, but I didn't expect you to be... Alas..."My father sighed three times, and said to me with hatred that iron is not made of steel.

I collapsed on the couch, and at first I had the feeling of falling into some kind of whirlpool, and this thought hit me again, and this thought became more and more intense, and even I felt that this matter was far from so simple,

Not to mention what the purpose of the blind bear did this in the first place, even my father's vague words made me very suspicious.

But the wood is already in the boat, I have already boarded the thief ship, and I want to get out safely, unless you don't live in this world anymore, now as long as there is a land of people, it is under the banner of the big moon, and it is impossible to run,

Even if it is a black road of no return, I'm afraid I have to go on firmly at this moment, if nothing else, just to let the people around me live well,

My confused eyes asked, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar father again.

"Dad, do you think there is immortality in this world?"

My dad suddenly stopped going crazy and didn't make trouble, he came back to his senses and looked at me fixedly and said a word!

"Yes!"

"Have you seen it? Can you tell me about it? ”

My father sighed again, sat on the edge of the couch and looked at me, and said slowly,

"That year, Cao Gong's army was defeated and captured, and the entire Captain Mojin was captured by the Yuejia army, and I became their prisoner.

When I was brought to the Imperial Court that day, I saw him, and I was only twenty-five years old, which is not a few years after you were born.

At that time, Yue Gaozu should have been forty years old, but his face was as if he was in his early twenties, and there was no wrinkle on his face and traces of the vicissitudes of time.

I thought that I might not be able to survive this time, but Gaozu was merciful and let us go, I unloaded my armor and returned to the field, relying on a little savings here, covering the mountain, until today,

Immortality is indeed there, but Gao Zu obviously doesn't want His Majesty to live forever today, he kills too much, and he is quite scheming, if he has immortality, he will control these thousands of miles forever, this is probably not what Gao Zu wants to see. ”

There are too many sources for what my father said in his words and what I have seen myself, such as His Majesty today, who gives me the impression of being an amiable elder, or a leader who cares about his subordinates.

He is very generous, he is very kind to me, far away, just yesterday, he waited for me for a day, and did not criticize me when we met in the end.

Now my dad told me that he was a bloodthirsty maniac who was too scheming to kill, and how could I believe that, I asked,

"The killing is too heavy, where did this sentence come from?"

My mother also sat next to me and interjected,

"Silly son, you were young and ignorant at that time, do you know how many people he killed when he ascended the throne?

Gaozu had a total of thirty-two children, and Gaozu had already said that he would pass the throne to him, and he still killed more than a dozen brothers in the first few days of his accession to the throne, except for the eldest prince Jia Wujian, none of the other princes survived.

After he became the emperor, he began to exploit loyal ministers and good generals, resulting in all the virtuous generals in the Gaozu period, either unloading their armor and returning to the field or dying, so now all you see in the court are newcomers,

The blood in Yingtian City is said to have stained the moat red. Many families are dissatisfied with his policy and have rebounded one after another, and his way of dealing with it is to slaughter all over the house, leaving no chickens and dogs!

It's better for someone like ours to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and if you live in the city like this, I'm afraid even our family will not be able to escape the clutches.

Son, you have to be by her side, you need to be careful in everything! ”

It turns out that this is the case, there is still so much history that I don't know, it turns out that the amiable elder in front of me actually wears a fierce mask, and behind the mask is a hideous and ugly murderous demon,

My heart trembled a little, and I thought that it was impossible for me to kill my brothers and sisters for the sake of power, maybe because I was not born in the royal family.

The most bitter life is in the emperor's family, this old saying is reasonable,

I have some calculations in my heart, I know what's going on, it's not convenient to ask more about this matter, the less I know, the less impact it will have on my soul, thinking of the business to be done today, I said to my father,

"Dad, I promised Your Majesty yesterday to bring him a few musk requiem flowers, you can bring me two of them, and I will send him to the palace today."

My dad sighed, "Well, well, you go get it for him." With that, he ordered my mother to bring me the flower pot and continued.

"Fortunately, you are very favored in front of His Majesty now, he likes you very much, and I have heard a little about the four holy relics, and there is also a simple record in "The Secret Art of Luotu",

It's a long road, son, you should be careful, when will you set off and talk to your father. ”

I nodded, "Definitely!" ”
