Chapter 97: The Old House

Pei An has been restless lately, and he has been thinking about that incident in his heart. So even when I arrived at the training ground, I was uneasy. Fortunately, the soldiers he brought out were self-disciplined and did not need to be supervised, even if he did not personally command, they still arranged and trained the troops well.

Although everyone also saw that General Pei was restless these days, as if he had something on his mind, they didn't dare to come forward and ask more.

The long dark street was empty, and Pei An was still far away when he saw the person standing on the street.

That is the master who has accompanied him for more than 20 years, raised himself, and all his martial arts were taught by him. He was the closest person in the world, and for more than 20 years, he regarded him as his only relative.

But looking at him at this moment, Pei An was afraid in his heart, he didn't dare to step forward, and he didn't dare to face him. He wanted to turn around and run away at this moment, he wanted to run away.

However, at the same time, he also knows that escaping can't solve anything, and there are some things that he will have to face sooner or later. He always persuaded Chen Zichen like this, but at this moment, when he had to face it, he knew that there were some things that it took a lot of courage to face them.

Gritting his teeth, Pei An walked towards his master with heavy steps, at this moment he only prayed in his heart, not to hear the truth, that would rather Gu Xiaonuan tell him was a lie, he didn't want to hear it.

This road is only separated by a long street, but Pei An feels that it is so long. It's just a short long street, but his heart is tormented.

He felt that he had been walking for a long time before he walked up to his master and whispered, "Master......." ”

"Pei An, as a teacher, I came to you today because I have something to tell you."

Pei An's slightly clenched palms jumped, he lowered his head, and he didn't even dare to look at him.

After saying that, the senior Wei turned around and walked forward slowly. Pei An froze in place, at this moment, his heart was tormented or tormented, and he didn't even dare to take his own steps to follow behind Senior Wei.

Seeing that Pei An didn't follow, Senior Wei stopped and looked at Pei Andao, "Pei An, what's wrong?" ”

Pei An's clenched fingers were trembling, he gritted his teeth, and reminded himself in his heart, "Pei An, it's useless to escape, and escape is a ...... that won't solve any problems." He told himself over and over again.

But his steps seemed to be touched to the ground, and under the reminder of the voice in his heart over and over again, he tried to raise his eyes, looked at Senior Wei and shook his head, and reluctantly smiled, "It's okay." Gritting his teeth, he kept up with the pace of the old guards.

He didn't know where Senior Wei was going to take him, he just followed behind, followed him through the long streets, and finally stopped in front of a particularly remote place, an almost dark alley.

The alley was connected to a deserted house, a house that seemed to have completely collapsed in the wind and rain.

In front of the house is a long staircase, although it is deserted, but in the shape of the door that is about to collapse, it was once a wealthy mansion.

Almost no one will come to this place, but Pei An often comes, and he is a resident here.

Every time he led the troops back to the city from a battle, after he entered the palace to report the war, the first thing he did when he came back was to go into the house and sit down.

Because this is the former mansion of the Pei family, where the Pei family has lived for generations. It used to be a bustling place, but since that incident, it has withered away in the wind and rain.

Everyone, too, avoided this house like a plague, and no one wanted to come close. Gradually, or it has become a habit, no one will want to patronize this mansion, and it is gradually forgotten.

However, Pei An didn't dare to forget, and he couldn't forget, although this mansion did not exist in his memory when it was prosperous, but he was a descendant of the Pei family, how could he forget here.

Standing in front of this mansion, Pei An looked at Senior Wei and asked, "Master, what are you bringing your apprentices here for?" ”

After this adjustment, his mood has gradually stabilized, and he is no longer as uneasy and excited as when he first saw Wei Senior.

Looking at this house, Senior Wei sighed deeply and said, "Your identity is special, you have known it since you were a child. The teacher didn't deliberately hide it, the teacher knows, because of your special identity, compared with ordinary people, you have been less happy since you were a child, and you have been a teacher all these years. ”

Pei An lowered his head, a trace of bitterness appeared at the corner of his mouth, and muttered, "The master also said that the apprentice's identity is special, since it is special, it should be different from ordinary people, and the apprentice has never complained about the master." Besides, it was not the master who created all this, so why should the apprentice blame the master. ”

Looking at Pei An's expression a little strange just now, Senior Wei was still a little worried, afraid that he would know something. But after his own temptation, seeing that he was still the same as before, he was relieved.

Seeing that everything was normal with Pei An, Senior Wei continued, "Master Ben can't bear to tell you all this since he was a child, so that you can bear this since you were a child. Many times, it is distressing to look at the teacher, but after you are the Pei family, you are born different from others, in your bones, what flows in your body is the blood of the Pei family, and you were born for this battlefield. ”

Pei An, as always, lowered his head with a cold expression, and said, "The apprentice understands, the master said, the heavens are entrusted to the Si people, and they must first work their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skin, and empty their bodies before they can achieve great things." ”

Slowly, Senior Wei walked up the overgrown stone steps, Pei An raised his gaze, looking at the master who was walking towards the house step by step, his heart was sinking little by little, like a drowning person, the more he sank, the more he couldn't breathe.

When he walked to the last step of the stairs, Senior Wei stopped, turned to look at Pei An, who was standing stiffly, and sighed, "Since you were a child, you are very sensible, you will listen to what the master says, and you will never ask anything more, including General Pei's, your father's affairs, you will not ask more." However, as a teacher, you know that not asking does not mean that you do not want to know, you actually want to know in your heart. ”

Pei An didn't speak, he just looked at Senior Wei quietly, letting his heart swell at this moment. Pursing the corners of his mouth tightly, Cheng had a cold arc.

For more than twenty years, he has long been accustomed to using such a shell to cover his truest self, no matter what happens, he has this expression, sad, happy, he has this expression, as if everything has nothing to do with him.

The only time I lost my temper was when I heard Gu Xiaonuan talk about that old thing for the first time. At that time, this cold shell could no longer hide its true self.

However, it has been several days since that incident, and the self under the cold shell has completely calmed down and can control his emotions, so no matter what happens now, it will not bring any more waves.

Looking at Pei An, who was standing stiffly in place, Senior Wei said, "Pei An, tonight, the teacher allows you to ask the question you want to ask the most in your heart, and the teacher will tell you the truth." ”
