Xiao Wuding was still angry with him about what he heard that day, and I comforted: "There are a lot of things in the yayuan these days, if Xiao Wu and Qi'er are bored and panicked, you let them come to my yard to play, they are the same age as Yan Cuo Xia Xia, and it is easiest to play together, so Uncle Zong can also concentrate on doing things." ”

Zong Bai suddenly stopped, and said with straight eyes: "If I hadn't agreed to join the eldest princess for the sake of my children's private affairs, Yunqing would never have had a chance to harm your father, and I am the sinner of the Yan clan......"

"Creation makes people, who would have thought of the consequences......" I was red-eyed, Zong Bai has always been condemned by his conscience because of what happened to Yun Niang, and now he has to carry the burden of indirectly killing my father, no wonder he seems to have suddenly aged many years, and he no longer has the heroic * spirit when he first saw him.

"After settling down here, Zong Bai will definitely assist the young master to revive the Yan clan, and he will never give up."

I was stunned for a moment, and I couldn't turn the corner: "Revive the Yan clan?" ”

I heard Zhu Jing say this word, Xiang Zhou said that he was stupid, and said that it was impossible for the Yan clan to recover, because Yan Xin was dead.

"Xiangye has no intention of keeping me, I will persuade Xiang Zhou to lobby to find the Yan soldiers who are outcast, no matter whether the courtier agrees or not, I will never let the Yan clan die silently like this again, and I will never let your father bear the charge of abandoning the Yan clan again, the Yan clan is prosperous and will return again."

"Is it possible for the Yan clan to be revived?" Is there any hope for a tribe that has been dismissed for decades by the Pilgrim's Divine Decree for revival?

"I am the chief general of the Yan clan and the person in charge of the emperor's family, do you really think this is just a coincidence?"

"yes, why do you have a dual identity? You seem to have followed Xiangye a long time ago, that's why he trusts you so much, but you are also the chief general of the Yan clan, I don't understand a little. "I don't have my head scratched.

Zong Bai sighed and said softly: "The Yan clan is an independent power system, and those who serve in the Yan clan will generally hold some inconsequential positions in a certain official office related to the court to cover up. Your father agreed with Xiang Ye a long time ago to put me in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Emperor is an auxiliary minister of the Son of Heaven, in case something happens, I can at least play some role. As a result, in the third year of Kunyuan, seven days before reaching an agreement with the courtier, your father came to me, and he gave me a list, which he spent a long time drawing up with a lot of connections, which recorded the origin information of each Yan general, member, and Ding, who was good at weapons and martial arts, etc., and also marked the place and position of each person to seek work in the future. He said that there will be a big event in the Yan clan soon, when these generals have nowhere to go, and those who do not obey the arrangement of the court will be seized by the court, and he asked me to secretly persuade the people on the list to the local positions that have been arranged, maybe just to be a remote member with no power and power, but it is better than having nowhere to go or even losing their lives, at least in this way, I can still know where they are and what kind of life they live-" Zong Bai blushed his eyes and said affectionately, "For him, these generals who have followed him for many years are his family, Although he had no choice but to make this parting, he still had to go to great lengths to arrange a way for them. ”

I was speechless.

At that time, I also asked him what should happen if someone obeyed the arrangement of the court. He was very worried, he said that he had agreed with Xiang Ye that if anyone did not want to leave and obey the arrangement, then Xiang Ye should do his best to collect the rest of the people in the Xiang Mansion, and he did not have to give them important duties, but he must keep them safe. He didn't want the Yan clan to make any resistance, and he didn't want to lose any of his brothers in this peaceful era. Seven days later, the Yan clan was declared to be closed down, the Yan clan died, eighty percent of the generals left as he wanted to be resentful, I secretly intercepted them one by one, and lined them up according to the instructions on the list, but there was still a group of people left, that is, Xiang Zhou, Zhu Jing and others, they have not given up looking for your father, they are unwilling, they have always wanted to know the truth about the demise of the Yan clan, I gave them the most desperate answer as your father trusted, and said that your father is a person who gave up the oath of the Yan clan for the sake of fame, I can understand their despair, But it's the best way to protect them. Your father has never given up on them......" Zong Bai sighed with tears in his eyes.

I was speechless and burst into tears.

"Why? Why can't the Yan Clan exist? Daddy, he's not a bad guy—"

"There is a good saying, the birds are all the birds and the good bow is hidden, and the cunning rabbit dies and the lackeys cook. The Yan clan was worried about the chaos in the court, but they still followed in the footsteps of countless good generals. The roads in this world seem to be the same, countless people have fallen on that road, but there are still countless descendants who continue to choose to follow the same path. ”

I seem to understand something.

Zong Bai smiled sadly: "For a stable country, the existence of the Yan clan itself has become a threat, and it is even more fearful to those in charge than the strong border enemies outside. There is no heart, but the crown is in danger. Your father has long known that the premise of the country's solidity is that the military power is in his hands, and the independent military power in his hands will be withdrawn by the lord sooner or later. Before the lord won the world, he promised your father that the Yan clan would help him win the world, so he would give the Yan clan a world, independent of the government and not controlled by the court. But the world is peaceful, the Yan clan has always been loyal to the country, but it has become a big trouble for the courtier, and has become his throat stalk, sooner or later one day he will find the handle to rob the Yan clan, and his brother will be bleeding like a river, why not turn the war into a jade silk, so that at least he can keep the glory of the Yan clan, keep the situation of his former comrades, keep the brothers in the clan, keep you, but he was scolded alone, and became a mediocre and boneless person......"

Father......

"He never gave up on us, he paved the way for the Yan clan and us to reunite. A certain year, a certain month, and a certain day, he only needs to stand up, raise his arms, and the Yan generals distributed in the north and south of the river will go to the horse to get together, even if the Yan clan really can't be revived, but we can still sit in front of the fire and sing to the wine as we did back then, we still have a home and a leader. He can't realize his wish, we veterans will help him realize it, we will tell the world that the Yan clan is not just a general, it is a faith, and it is an inextinguishable fire in the hearts of soldiers......" Zong Bai closed his eyes and couldn't bear to continue.

However, it is impossible for my father to reunite with the Yan clan......

Everything in the Yan clan is now to be borne by Yan Cuo? He's still so young......

"You don't actually have to know these things, but I know that Xiang Zhou and the others have always had grievances about this, I don't want to affect your father's image in your heart because of his words, the road ahead will be very long, but we will try our best to assist the young master, so that he can become a hero of the world and the admiration of all the people."

I'm very conflicted, I hope Yan Cuo can do something and become the pride of his father, but I don't want him to carry too much too early, I want him to be ordinary and happy, and I want to keep him by my side, even if it's only for a few years. But it's not my turn to be the master of these things.

"Uncle Zong, I'm stupid and don't know what to say. Xiang Zhou, they all misunderstood you, and even gave up the Yan clan, only you are silently waiting for everything in the Yan clan, guarding your father's wishes before his death. Thank you. I bowed deeply to him.

Zong Bai hurriedly helped me up, with a wrong face, Fu'er smiled, laughed, and there were tears in his eyes: "Who said that my Yan family's children are not bloody." The eldest lady has her own world in her heart, but the patriarch only wants to give you the love of ordinary people's children and wants to give you the best protection in the world, but the eldest lady has the blood of the Yan family in her body, and this kind of open-mindedness and righteousness can't be hidden. ”

I was a little embarrassed: "I'm just a country girl, how can you say it so well." But Xiangye knows everything you did back then, Uncle Zong, you will be fine, right? "I think of Fuye's sick stick before the child, hoping that I will protect the bird, is Shangguan Bo really going to settle accounts after the autumn?

Zong Bai smiled and said: "Afu is a smart person, but she doesn't know the master, although the master is arrogant and ruthless on the outside, he is actually a very affectionate person. When the Yan clan was wiped out, he was the only one in the court who dared to fight with the court lord to absorb the remaining Yan generals, he would be suspected of being in a high position, and he also had his own huge surname to protect, but for the sake of the promise with your father, he had no hesitation. Over the years, he still let me be by my side and reuse it because he still remembers the past relationship with your father and is willing to give me a chance to make up for it. Although I would love to tell my lady about these things, it is about the Yan clan, so I have to be cautious. ”

"Only if you have known Xiangye for so many years will you know him so well, right?" It turns out that Shangguan Bo has done so many things for the Yan clan and for my father, no wonder Zong Bai has to say good things for him every time.

"It's not me, the person who knows him best is your father." Zong Bai sighed lightly.

"My dad?"

Zong Bai looked up at the white sky and said: "So for your father's request, Xiangye agreed without the slightest hesitation, because he knew that your father would not easily ask for help, nor would he easily trap his brother in an unrighteous place." When he learned of your father's death, he was so quiet that he didn't lose his temper or curse, he locked himself in the practice room where he used to compete with your father, and cried all day. He's been waiting to see your dad again, to give him back his promise intact, but there's no chance...... If he really wants to be good to someone, he will not hide it at all, and he wants everyone to know and tell the world his position and attitude. Except for your father, he is the person I Zongbai admires the most in my life. ”

"So, do you respect him, not fear him?"

"Sort of."

I nodded, that's probably what my father said about the invincibility of the benevolent, what you give, you will get.

"You've reached the boundary of the earth, have you thought about where to go?" Zong Bai's voice was much softer.

Looking at the two divergent roads, one facing east and the other facing north, I was confused, but I just chose one to go, but I froze, as if this choice was very important, and determined many things in the future, and I had to think about it very carefully.

I took a deep breath and said with a smile: "I don't want to go anywhere, I want to go home, so let's go here, goodbye Uncle Zong." ”

Zong Bai smiled at me, as if laughing at me for being a fickle little girl, hugged his fist, and turned away.

Yes, I want to go home quickly, meet Yan Cuo and Xia Xia quickly, cook a table of good dishes for Song Lingjian and Han Sanxiao, and then everyone sit down happily and chat.

But I went home in a hurry, but there was no one at home, Xia Xia may have gone to the door to deliver goods at this time, why is Yan Cuo not there? Shouldn't you be in the room to take care of your injuries?

I went to the courtyard to take a look, Song Lingjian and Haipiao were not there as expected, and I don't know where they went, the number of times I can see Song Lingjian this winter can be broken out with my fingers.

Anyway, I was idle, I cleaned the yard by the way, and with a "bang" sound, the door where the wind blew rang. I looked up and saw that Song Lingjian's door was still locked, and the door of Hai Piao's room was hidden, and it was blown by the wind.

I was about to close the door, when I heard the wind blowing the pages inside, so I pushed in to take a look, and saw that the drawer that Hai Piao usually used to hold the drawing paper was wide open, and the picture fell out on the ground.
