"Grandpa." Gu Yun put down his chopsticks and called respectfully and hesitantly. "I ......"

"Eat first, nothing can delay my grandson's dinner." Yun Taigong touched the wine glass in front of Gu Yun with his glass, the amber liquor shone with a shallow water in it, and his fine eyes were full of kind smiles. "This is the first time in thirteen years that our ancestors and your uncle have gathered together for a hot meal. Your mother went early, and we were incompetent as elders, and we didn't fulfill our responsibilities as elders for a day. Ah Yun, I'm sorry for my grandfather and uncle. Whatever it is, you've got to finish this hot meal. Come, try this bamboo mushroom, grandpa remembered that you used to like to eat this. ”

The old man was nearly sixty-five years old, and he had traveled thousands of miles all the way. Although it is still like a loud bell and a majestic instrument, the hair on the temples has long turned white, and the hand holding the chopsticks is no longer as thick and powerful as when he was young.

Gu Yun picked up the piece of mushroom and ate it with the heat in his throat. "Yes, Grandpa."

Yun Cong didn't speak beside him, just looked at Yun Taigong and Gu Yun's plates all the time. If you catch something delicious, you always put it on the two of them first.

After drinking and eating, Yun Ah Gong led the servants in and cleaned up lightly, and served another pot of hot tea.

Yun Taigong pointed to the cubicle inside, "Let's go, it's time to sit down and talk well, I know that Ah Yun must be waiting for his grandfather with a lot of questions." The old lady said very casually, but Gu Yun could clearly feel that the atmosphere in the room changed all of a sudden.

The eldest uncle frowned, seeing Gu Yun looking at him. He forced a smile and patted him on the shoulder. "Sit down first, it's a long time to say, and I guess it's time for the lights to fall off. Did you say hello to your daughter-in-law when you went out? ”

Gu Yun was stunned at first, and then a warm current passed through his heart. "I've already said it, don't worry, uncle."

Yun Cong saw that his eyebrows and eyes became calm because of these words, and his tone naturally brought a softness, and he was surprised in his heart. Thinking of what I was going to say later, I didn't know for a while whether I was more relieved or worried.

Yun Taigong sat at the table, his face was serious, as if he was organizing the opening statement in his heart, and he didn't know how long it had been before he spoke: "Xiao Yun, you must be very curious why the Yun family has ignored you all these years. ”

Gu Yunxian's scratching heart suddenly beat violently, and an indescribable nervousness flowed through his chest. His hands clenched unconsciously on his knees, and his body leaned forward slightly, and his black eyes were as bright as the scorching sun. "Grandpa!"

Yun Taigong didn't seem to be able to face his eyes directly, but just set his gaze on a certain point in the void.

"Thirteen years ago, when I learned of your mother's death, your two uncles and I were about to leave for Qingzhou. However, just as we were about to set off, we suddenly received a letter from Fire Paint. ”

Gu Yun stared, knowing that the secret that would soon plague his two lives for decades was about to be revealed.

"The letter says please meet with the head of the Yun family on the bank of the Lingzhou River, and if you miss the appointment, Yun Feng will be worried about his life." Because recalling the scene of that day again, even a person like Yun Taigong, who could not change his face in the tens of millions of enemy troops, couldn't help but close his eyes in pain. "Although I am anxious about your mother's affairs, because it involves the life and death of your third uncle, I have to postpone the trip, and let your eldest uncle lead the carriage and horses first, and your second uncle and I will catch up later."

In the Wutong Courtyard, Shen Li sat up straight, looked at He Yi and said, "The third master of the Yun family is seriously injured and disabled?" ”

"Yes," He Yi replied, "It is said that he was carried back to the house on the evening of the day the Yun family was about to leave for Qingzhou." ”

"What did Uncle Yun say?"

"No, the Yun family uncle set off in a hurry, and he didn't know the inside story, and he returned in a hurry after worshipping. Later, we didn't wait for someone from Lingzhou, and immediately sent a messenger to investigate. ”

"Do you know who the murderer is?"

He Yi shook his head, "I don't know." After that, the second master and the third master also sent several groups of people over, but the Yun family did not receive them again. Soon, the grandfather of the prince, who is now the old lady of the Yun family, wrote to the court to resign from the post of general of the Zhenguo, and gave up the position of the head of the family to the uncle of the Yun family, and he and the old lady retreated to another courtyard. ”

General Yun Lao is brave and good at fighting, and his prestige spreads in all directions, but he retreats bravely in the prime of life, which is a problem that Rong Yin can't solve when collecting information from the Southern Regions. It's a pity that because too much time has passed, the Yun family is a big family, and the guards inside are like the iron bucket, and it is impossible to find out the inside story.

"Since then, the two have cut off contact from that time?" Shen Li sighed in his heart, the Yun family can be regarded as the Qingliu clan in the Southern Regions, and it is somewhat similar to their Rong family. It's a pity that the world is impermanent, and it has suffered such a fate.

"Not really." He shook his head straightly, "In the past few years, when we celebrated the New Year's holiday, Gongzi would send someone to send a festival gift to the past, but the Yun family would add a few more points to it every time. After two years like this, the second master and the third master felt that this move seemed to be deliberately taking advantage of the Yun family, so they persuaded the son not to send it anymore, and the two families had no contact with each other. ”

In the cabin, Mrs. Yun had finished stating the past, but there was still sadness on her face that could not be concealed. "According to the agreement with that man, on the premise that he promised not to attack you, we withdrew from the main position in the army and took the initiative to cut off contact with you, and after half a year, he sent back your third uncle's antidote, and your third uncle also picked up a remnant of his life."

The past was too cruel, Gu Yun's heart was like being hit with a hammer, and he couldn't say a word anymore. He looked at Old Lady Yun's face in a daze, struggled a few times, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Grandfather was so powerful back then, didn't he have the slightest way to control the enemy against that person?" ”

"Life is like a reverse journey, and your grandfather was just one of the pedestrians back then." Old Lady Yun shook her head sadly, "The strength that the other party showed back then was too strong, and everything he said and did was not fulfilled and all of them were successful. Your mother has passed away, and your grandmother has been bedridden because of her repeated encounters. Your third uncle lies in bed and lives and dies in an unpredictable way, and the remaining two uncles are constantly in accidents. The people we sent to inquire about the news either met with accidents or returned in vain. We also made this decision after much consideration. ”

The sky on the building was getting darker and darker, and Yun Cong got up and turned on the lights on the candlesticks one by one. His face was heavy, and his shoulders were slightly slumped by the past.

He and Yun Taigong both knew that no matter what the truth of all this was inside, the Yun family was sorry for Gu Yun, and they didn't have any excuse to refute it.

And what made him and his father feel guilty the most was that no matter how indifferent they were back then, Gu Yun always reciprocated to them a sincere heart.

They are ashamed to be fathers, brothers, and elders, but whether it was Gu Yun's mother back then or Gu Yun now, they have never harbored any resentment about this from beginning to end.
