Chapter 49: The Past

Coming out of the Lu family, Song Yuan took Huo Qingsong's master and servant into the carriage and returned to his residence. In fact, Song Yuan's home is not very far from the Lu family, and it takes less than a quarter of an hour to take the carriage. This quiet small courtyard, but Ye Feng found it for Song Yuan, and Song Yuan liked this small courtyard very much.

But when he returned to this courtyard today, Song Yuan felt very unpleasant when he looked at any place, and his face was always stiff. This made Xiao Wu, who had been by Song Yuan's side for a few months, particularly uncomfortable. By making lunch, Xiao Wu went into the kitchen and didn't want to come out again. The young man who followed Huo Qingsong noticed his eyes and followed him into the kitchen, leaving Song Yuan and Huo Qingsong behind.

Huo Qingsong saw Song Yuan standing in the courtyard without saying a word, so he didn't make any moves, just stood quietly with Song Yuan. For about a quarter of an hour, Song Yuan, who was expressionless, sat on the stone bench in the courtyard. Then he pointed to the stone bench opposite and asked Huo Qingsong to sit down as well.

"I didn't expect you to find this place." Song Yuan's tone seemed to be a little sighing, and there was also some mockery, and he didn't know who it was aimed at.

Huo Qingsong really deserved to come out of the barracks, sitting there like a stone statue, never moving again. Hearing Song Yuan's voice, he said, "Uncle, you should know." If he wants to find you, it won't take so many years. Now I'm coming to you......"

"You don't have to say any more. I knew what he meant ten years ago. If you want me to go back, that's impossible. Song Yuan didn't know why, as soon as he heard Huo Qingsong mention 'his old man', his expression suddenly became excited. The whole body of the whole person is also tense and tight, and it seems to be trying his best to endure it.

Huo Qingsong glanced at Song Yuan with a very complicated look before he said, "Uncle, it's been ten years, can't you forgive him for being an old man." You don't know, his old man's health is not as good as it was back then. Since returning from the counterinsurgency, the patients have been sick, but they are really much older. His only wish now is to see you, uncle. ”

"Huh, look at me?" Song Yuan sneered and said mockingly again: "Last time I was in the barracks, didn't he already see me. In order to lure me out, he actually cheated to death, and I almost died in Qianzhou. ”

"Uncle, you misunderstood his old man." Huo Qingsong couldn't help but stand up anymore and defended: "His old man is also forced to do this, all for the sake of the Great Zhou Dynasty." Moreover, in order to protect your integrity, his old man has sent more than a dozen people with strong martial arts skills to secretly protect you. ”

"yes, I'm not dead. But in order to save me, the more than ten people with high martial arts were all miserable. Song Yuan looked at Huo Qingsong fiercely, his eyes were full of bloodshots, and he was very angry and sad.

Finding that Huo Qingsong's face was also a little unsightly, Song Yuan thought that the person standing in front of him was not 'his old man'. After calming down his emotions, Song Yuan quickly turned his head away and said hatefully: "For the sake of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he can sacrifice anyone." For the sake of the peace of his country's mansion, he can sacrifice his own daughter and son-in-law. You don't hate him, I do. So, you don't have to persuade me, I won't go back. Back then, when he kicked me out of the country's mansion, I had already made up my mind. ”

Speaking of this, Song Yuan seemed to think of the battle at the border pass more than ten years ago, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but overflow with some crystals. Taking a deep breath, Song Yuan ignored Huo Qingsong, who was speechless, flicked his sleeves and walked back to his room quickly, closing the door tightly.

Huo Qingsong looked at the door, his lips moved, and slowly sat back on the stone bench. Looking at the budding willow tree in the yard, Huo Qingsong recalled what Song Yuan had just said, and clasped his hands tightly on his thighs. As his eyes sharpened, the courtyard was filled with a chill. Huo Qingsong, who was standing at the door of the kitchen, saw this situation and immediately stopped Xiao Wu and asked him to wait for the food to be served out again.

In the room, Song Yuan sat straight at the table, looking at the teacups on the table with an expressionless face. In his heart, he didn't know what kind of mood it was. Song Yuan knew very well that 'his old man' would definitely send someone to find him and ask him to go back and take on the so-called 'responsibility' in the mouth of 'his old man'. But Song Yuan never thought that Huo Qingsong would be the person who was sent.

It has been said before that at the beginning of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Taizu once sealed four vassal kings with different surnames: King Chen, King Wu, King Yang, and King Zhong. Except for King Zhong in the northernmost part of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the other three kings were all divided into feudal feuds in Jiangnan. The four feudal kings had the right to command the army, which made Emperor Taizong, who later succeeded to the throne, very uneasy. Taking advantage of the surrounding states to provoke the Great Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Taizong accompanied several generals who could fight well. In the end, the only people who became the ministers of Emperor Taizong's humerus were the Song family, the general of the auxiliary state, and the Huo family, the general of the Zhenguo.

Among them, the Song family, the general of the auxiliary state, made a lot of contributions after experiencing the three dynasties, and was finally named the auxiliary prince. Many of these things will be put aside here and explained in more detail later. Today's Fuguo Gong's name is Song Beiqiao, and he is a prince of the country who has made great achievements in war.

Song Beiqiao has two sons and a daughter, of which the eldest son is a righteous son named Song Fang, who is the waiter of the Ministry of Rites and Rites of the Dynasty, and follows the text. The eldest daughter Song Wen, as a daughter, has a hearty temperament, but she loves martial arts and fights with her father. And Song Yuan is the youngest son of Song Beiqiao, the youngest grandfather of the Guogong Mansion, and the grandfather of the country who must attack the lord in the future.

Song Yuan, as a young son, is naturally the object of pampering in the whole house. Even Song Beiqiao was very indulgent of Song Yuan's arrogance in some aspects. Therefore, before Song Yuan was twenty years old, he was the most beautiful person in Beijing, and he could be described as 'arrogant and domineering'. Of course, the tutor in the Guogong Mansion is still good, and no matter how much Song Yuan looks at no one, he has never done anything evil.

But with the invasion of the northern Turks by the Great Zhou Dynasty at the border pass, a war broke out, and Song Yuan's most beloved sister and brother-in-law died at the border pass. Song Yuan suddenly grew up, and slowly understood one thing. After some investigation, Song Yuan was very sure that it was Song Beiqiao's mistake that killed Song Wen and her husband Huo Changfeng. Song Wen and Huo Changfeng, that is, the people of the Huo family, are Huo Qingsong's parents. Moreover, Song Yuan had no intention of knowing that Song Beiqiao's pampering of him was deliberate.

Of course, the only reason why Song Beiqiao did this was to discredit the Guogong Mansion and protect the Song family from being jealous of His Majesty the Emperor and causing the disaster. This point, before Song Yuan left Jingshi, he heard it from Song Beiqiao's mouth with his own ears.

It was also at that time that Song Yuan decided that Song Beiqiao did not send troops to support Song Wen and Huo Changfeng on purpose. Although Song Beiqiao didn't expect that Song Wen and Huo Changfeng would die in that canyon, the truth was indeed so cruel. Just this point, Song Yuan couldn't forgive Song Beiqiao.

Song Yuan's aunt was sick because she gave birth to him, and she died when Song Yuan was four years old. It can be said that in Song Yuan's impression, Song Wen is a symbol of his mother. And Song Wen treated Song Yuan like a mother and taught him like a mother. The relationship between two sisters and brothers is much deeper than the feelings of brothers and sisters.

It is also because of this that Song Yuan and Song Beiqiao had a big quarrel, if it wasn't for Song Fang to stop them, the two fathers and sons would have had a big fight. This matter was known to the Manjing division back then, and Song Beiqiao was also angry and drove Song Yuan out of the Guogong Mansion. Song Yuan, who was sad and angry in his heart, went all the way south, and finally fell ill in an inn because he was haggard from traveling for days. Only then did he meet Lu Tai, who was out, and was taken back to Qianzhou by Lu Tai, and formed an indissoluble bond with the Lu family.

When the Lu family had an accident, Song Yuan came to Jiangbei in order to repay the favor and save Lu Xiang'er and Lu Erniang's mother and son, and he knew that his whereabouts might not be hidden for long. After properly settling the three members of the Lu family, Song Yuan returned to Qianzhou by investigating the true image of Lu Tai and Feng Sanniang being killed. Song Yuan did not expect that King Chen would raise troops to rebel at this time.

Soon, Song Beiqiao was appointed generalissimo of the counterinsurgency and led hundreds of thousands of troops south to quell the rebellion. King Chen's strength was not weak, and after several years of fighting between the two armies, Song Beiqiao could not exterminate King Chen. When Song Beiqiao inadvertently got the news of Song Yuan, he knew that he was deep in King Chen's territory. In order to return to the dynasty as soon as possible, Song Beiqiao cheated to death and let Song Yuan come to the military camp and let him mix with King Chen to do internal response.

As a result, King Chen was defeated, and Song Yuan also knew that Song Beiqiao was cheating. Song Yuan, who was disappointed again, didn't want to see Song Beiqiao at all. When Song Beiqiao sent someone to find him, Song Yuan ignored his injuries and rushed all the way to Qinghe Village.

Originally, Song Yuan didn't want anyone to know where he was, and wanted to live a peaceful life in Qinghe Village. But who would have thought that the Lu family would not be able to stay in Qinghe Village because of him, and Ye Feng finally knew Song Yuan's whereabouts.

After Song Yuan saw Ye Feng, although he had instructed him, don't let anyone know that he was in Qingshi County. But Song Yuan knew very well that as long as Song Beiqiao asked Ye Feng's head, he would definitely not hide it. Therefore, Song Yuan had already prepared that Song Beiqiao would come to him.

As for Huo Qingsong's appearance, it didn't make Song Yuan think of it. Huo Qingsong is the son of Song Wen and Huo Changfeng, and Song Yuan's nephew. Facing Huo Qingsong, Song Yuan really couldn't let out the anger in his heart. Thinking of Huo Qingsong, who had lost his parents at such a young age, and now supported the general's mansion with the strength of one person, Song Yuan sighed softly.

Looking at the somewhat dark sky outside, Song Yuan slowly got up and came to the door and opened the door. Huo Qingsong heard the sound of the door and immediately got up and walked over. He didn't expect Song Yuan to walk out of the room so quickly, and his face eased a lot. However, when he opened his mouth to say something, Song Yuan waved his hand and stopped him.

Song Yuan first asked Xiao Wu to cook some food, and then turned to Huo Qingsong and smiled slightly: "I haven't seen Qingqing for almost ten years, I don't know how good she is now......
