"Youlao invited to visit, and it was really boring to be bedridden." Xu Da said to Chu Liuyan with some self-deprecation.

When Chu Liuyan heard this, his heart tightened, and he couldn't help but cry at Xu Da and said, "Brother Xu, don't talk like this, Jiren Tianxiang will be fine." ”

Xu Da shook his head and said: "This disease is secondary, but the mood is defeated, and the days are like years, and the suffering is unspeakable." ”

Chu Liuyan comforted softly: "Big brother's words are bad, people who are sick are naturally in a bad mood, if they are well, their mood will naturally become clearer." When Brother Xu's illness is a little better, why don't you go to Hangzhou with me, find that magic doctor Long Zaitian, cut off the root of this boil, and completely cure it. ”

Xu Da's eyes lit up, and after hesitating for a moment, he said to Chu Liuyan: "Fame and fortune are empty in a blink of an eye." If I wait for my illness to be cured, can Sister Chu live incognito with me, live in seclusion in the mountains, boating in the lakes and seas, and learn from Fan Li and Xi Shi to live happily and happily, and no longer ask about human affairs and court disputes. ”

When Chu Liuyan heard this, he was silent for a moment, then raised his head with a shy face and said: "Liuyan also has this intention in his heart, and I hope that Brother Xu and I will never be separated in this life and the next generation." ”

Hearing this, Xu Da was overjoyed in his heart, and eagerly pulled Chu Liuyan's hand and said: "Hearing Jun's words, the remaining wishes are enough, and there are no regrets in this life!" ”

The two of them shook hands together.

After a long time, Xu Da said heartily: "This matter still needs to be planned, after the sister goes back this time, please also pack up some softness, wait for my illness to heal a little, and hire a car, hand in hand to go to Hangzhou, follow the example of Fan Li Xishi I to be free." ”

When Chu Liuyan heard this, he nodded slightly, and then suddenly thought of something, so he said to Xu Da: "Brother Xu, before you go to Hangzhou, you can go with me to a person's grave to pay respects." ”

Xu Da was a little surprised, and asked: "I have no choice, but I don't know who my sister is going to worship." ”

"Liuyan wants to go to Chen Youliang's grave to see." Chu Liuyan said this sentence hesitantly.

Xu Da was not shocked, but smiled slightly and said: "Chen Youliang is certainly a hero in a lifetime, and he is my fierce rival in life, but he has also let go of his sister several times, and he is also kind to his sister. ”

Chu Liuyan was overjoyed when he heard this: "According to Brother Xu's meaning, he is willing to go with me to Chen Youliang's grave to pay respects." ”

Xu Da smiled and said, "It's not bad at all, if you have leisure, you might as well go with your sister." ”

"A gentleman's word."

"It's hard to chase a horse."

The two hooked and hanged themselves, as if they had returned to the early years.

A few days later, Xu Da's illness healed a little, and he went to Chen Youliang's grave with Chu Liuyan to worship.

"Is that Chen Youliang's tomb?" Xu Da asked Chu Liuyan who was moving forward.

Chu Liuyan turned his head and said to Xu Da: "It's not bad at all, that tomb is the burial place of Chen Youliang, a generation of heroes. ”

"Thousands of people, in the end, it is all a pile of barren grass and drowned. The world is changing, and nothing is exempt. Xu Da said to Chu Liuyan with some emotion.

"Brother Xu, where is there so much emotion today, let's go faster, we will be there soon." Chu Liuyan laughed.

"Well, it's time to go faster, I didn't expect someone from me to approach Chen Youliang so closely, although one is in the grave, the other is outside. But after a hundred years, I am afraid that they will all enter it, turn into dry bones, and turn into dust and mud. Xu Da is still overwhelmed.

"Brother Xu, okay, okay, if I knew that you were so noisy, I wouldn't have dragged you to come to worship Chen Youliang this time, although these words are different word by word, but the meaning is the same, upside down, and people's ears are cocooned." Chu Liuyan turned his head to Xu Da with some disgust and said, and after speaking, he smiled back.

Looking at Chu Liuyan's smiling like a flower, Xu Da's bones suddenly lost two or two, and he couldn't help but feel a little fluttering, although he heard some reprimands from Chu Liuyan's tone, but Xu Da knew in his heart that Chu Liuyan was just joking with him.

With such an idea in his heart, Xu Da said to Chu Liuyan: "That's right, even if Xu someone sends a thousand feelings here, he can't help the world, but God." That's it, the head is pale, the mounds are dry, these are all with him. ”

Hearing these words, even Chu Liuyan, who was walking in front, fell silent, after all, no one can help God, change the world that has become a foregone conclusion, and Chen Youliang in the grave cannot dry up his flesh and bones, re-enter the world, and continue to fight with Zhu Yuanzhang and others.

Everything is vanity, everything is disillusionment.

Success or failure is empty in the blink of an eye, and the only thing that can be grasped is the present.

Looking at Xu Da's body that was broken and recovering from a serious illness, he was still thin but still heroic, Chu Liuyan unconsciously thought of a poem in his heart:

It is easy to ask for priceless treasures, and it is rare to have a lover.

Perhaps the only thing that can be clung to at the moment is this man, who will never turn his back and never separate.

Thinking about it like this, a gorgeous blush appeared on Chu Liuyan's face, which made people feel a little shaken when they saw it.

Xu Da didn't know why, but he could expect a little bit in his heart, so he smiled and said to Chu Liuyan: "Sister, we have to move forward quickly, when it gets late, it will be a trouble to go back, you know that Cui'e is quite jealous, if he knows that I am with you all night, I don't know what will happen." The last time Song Lian's matter was in her hands, but I was helpless against him, but this time I went to Hangzhou with you, and I didn't have to face her all day in the future. It's just better not to provoke her suspicion for now. ”

A few words lightly and skillfully suddenly pulled Chu Liuyan into reality, Chu Liuyan understood that what Xu Da said was true, the last time she learned from Xu Da that Xie Cui'e had told Zhu Yuanzhang in the palace the day before yesterday, so that she almost let a few people plot to rescue Song Lian's bachelor The matter failed, and Chu Liuyan came to find Xie Cui'e theory.

However, Xu Da persuaded her from the side, Xu Da analyzed that Song Lian's matter was already a boat, no matter how much he wanted, he couldn't return to heaven and save the heart of heaven, if he fell out with Xie Cui'e at this moment, he was afraid that the matter of avoiding living in Hangzhou would also be affected by it, more than one thing is better than one less, rather than being implicated in it and breaking the big thing, it is better not to care about it and let him fend for himself.

Chu Liuyan, who was originally angry, listened to Xu Da's admonition, calmed down and thought carefully for a while, feeling that although Xu Da's idea was a little evasive, it was actually very clever, anyway, he wanted to retreat to the lakes and mountains, ignoring the affairs of the world, so why make such a major move on the eve of retreat, maybe it was really as Xu Da said, it would not be good to break the big thing.

After the plan was ready, Chu Liuyan listened to Xu Da's admonition and stopped going to Xie Cui'e to ask for the guilt.

The days are as usual, like flowing water, and the days of Hangzhou, where Chu Liuyan and Xu Da live together, are getting closer and closer, and today Chu Liuyan and Xu Da went to Chen Youliang's grave to pay respects, but also for the last bit of mundane things in the world.

"Brother Chu, it's here." Chu Liuyan said in front of Chen Youliang's grave.

When Xu Da heard this, he also stopped, Chen Youliang's tomb was just a tomb of an earthen fortress, and in front of him was a plain stone stele, the stele was smooth and clean, but there was not even a word.

"Why don't you engrave your name?" Xu Da asked lightly.

Chu Liuyan responded: "Although this place is inaccessible, but Chen Youliang is the great enemy of the saint in front of him, if the name is engraved, it will inevitably be seen in the future, but I am afraid that Chen Youliang's bones will not be able to rest in peace." ”

Xu Da nodded and said: "This is true, the emperor's temperament is becoming more and more tyrannical and cruel, if people know that someone actually Chen Youliang collected the corpse and carved a tablet, I am afraid that it will never be easily let go, or don't be like this, just like the queen of the Tang Dynasty, there is a wordless tablet behind her. Chen Youliang is a family hero, and he is expected to sit on the country in front of him, but in the end he is still defeated, no matter what, it is a good thing that the noisy and lively life is replaced by a quiet silence after death. ”

When Chu Liuyan heard this, he said to Xu Da: "Yes, I think the same way, so I set up this wordless monument, I only hope that Chen Youliang will know, fortunately, don't blame me." ”

Xu Da patted Chu Liuyan's shoulder and said, "If I were Chen Youliang, I would never blame you." Although the prestige in front of him is up to the four seas and the prestige is resounding all over the river, the hero is a lonely person, and the loneliness of the opponent who rarely meets in the world is difficult for ordinary people to understand. It is estimated that Chen Youliang also had this kind of loneliness, the hero is invincible, and the road ahead is long, but there is no one to comfort. ”

Chu Liuyan stared at Xu Da for a moment, and then said: "Brother Xu Da has been at war with Chen Youliang for many years, and he may know Chen Youliang better than me. ”

As he spoke, Chu Liuyan took out the letter incense, white candles, and fire folds from his backpack, then lit the incense candles, bowed to Chen Youliang's tomb a few times, and then inserted the letter incense in his hand into the ground in front of Chen Youliang's grave, was silent for a moment, and then said to Xu Da: "Brother Xu, Shuo Feng Yeda, go back." ”

Xu Da agreed, then stepped forward to take Chu Liuyan's hand, left Chen Youliang's grave, and turned back in a few steps, not looking back at the lonely tomb.

After returning Chu Liuyan, when Xu Da returned to the mansion, it was already the beginning of the lanterns.

Surprisingly, Xie Cui'e was waiting for him under the lamp.

"It's back". Xie Cui'e greeted her and wanted to give Xu Da a wide coat.

Xu Da blocked Xie Cui'e's way with one hand, and replied lightly: "I'm back, I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”

As he spoke, he took off his robe with his backhand.

Xu Da's move made Xie Cui'e a little shocked in her heart, Xu Da said goodbye today and went out for a whole day, but no one knew where he went.

Xie Cui'e sent people around to inquire about the news, and finally found out a little news, saying that the prince and Chu Liuyan came out together, sold some incense and candles and other things to commemorate the deceased in the market, and then there was no news.

Based on these circumstances, Xie Cui'e understood that Xu Da and Chu Liuyan seemed to be going to worship someone this time, but their whereabouts were so mysterious that they were extremely suspicious.

"Where is the prince today, Cui'e sent the family to look around, but there is no news, fortunately, the prince finally came back. The prince's serious illness has improved slightly, it is better to go out less, if you want to do things, there are many slaves in the house, and it is good to choose a few reliable and stable agents. Xie Cui'e said to Xu Da quite gently.

When Xu Da heard this, in order not to make Xie Cui'e suspicious, he said vaguely: "Today, I went to worship a dead deceased, and others can't do this kind of thing." ”

"If you really go to pay tribute to the deceased, if you are fascinated by the fox spirit, it will be bad, the prince is now the king of the dynasty above ten thousand people under one person, and the most important thing is to protect the reputation." Xie Cui'e faintly reminded her.

Hearing the string song and the elegance, Xu Da is a very smart person, hearing Xie Cui'e's words, she already knew in her heart that she might have seen something, so she said: "Don't be confused and suspicious of women. ”

As he spoke, Xu Da brushed his sleeves away, crossed Xie Cui'e, and wanted to enter the inner room.

Halfway through, he suddenly thought of something, turned his head and dropped a sentence: "You must take good care of yourself in the future." ”

This brainless sentence fell into Xie Cui'e's ears, and she couldn't help but be a little stunned, thinking carefully about Xu Da's behavior in the past few days, the more she thought about it, the more she couldn't guess it, but the more strange she felt.

Xie Cui'e thought about it in her heart, and felt that it was necessary to inform Zhu Yuanzhang of this matter on a trip to the palace, so that Zhu Yuanzhang's hand could get to the bottom of the matter.

Zhu Yuanzhang heard that he was hungry Xie Cui'e's performance, and he was also very suspicious in his heart, if it was said that the two of them worshiped the deceased, there was no need to hide their heads and show their tails like this, and it was really a little strange in the meantime.

What worries Zhu Yuanzhang the most is not this matter, but that Chu Liuyan and Xu Da seem to be hiding their actions, and the two are in love, leaving behind the affairs of the family and the country, which is the thing that Zhu Yuanzhang does not want to see.

As soon as Xie Cui'e left, Zhu Yuanzhang, who agreed to Xie Cui'e's investigation of the matter, immediately asked people to find one of the most powerful assistants in Jinyiwei.

The order was given, and soon a young man with a slight evil aura came.

Looking at the young man kneeling on the ground, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little surprised, he didn't expect that the most powerful person in the Jinyi Guard was so young.

"Who is kneeling at the bottom of the stairs?"

"Emperor Qi, the contemptible surname is Hu Ning Yong. It belongs to Jinyiwei. ”

"Your surname is Hu, what does it have to do with Hu Weiyong?"

"It's okay, it's just my family."

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment, and then opened his mouth and ordered: "I ordered someone to find the most capable cadre of Jinyiwei, but you came, it seems that you still have some ability." Today, I will hand over a task to you, to thoroughly investigate the whereabouts of Xu Da and Xu Guogong in the past two days, and you will be limited to find out within three days. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Hu Ningyong really deserves to be the first cadre of Jinyiwei, and on the third day, Zhu Yuanzhang got the news that Xu Da and Chu Liuyan went to worship a grave together, and after digging up the grave, they actually found Chen Youliang's corpse, and Chu Liuyan has also moved in the past few days, as if he was cleaning up the gold and silver. And Xu Da secretly sent people to hire a number of vehicles, seemingly to go to Hangzhou with Chu Liuyan.

Hearing this report, Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and angry.

He didn't expect that the two of them would actually make such a move that would hurt the country's body, if this matter was allowed to happen, wouldn't it be ridiculous.

And what made Zhu Yuanzhang most angry was that Chu Liuyan finally chose Xu Da!

Zhu Yuanzhang made a vicious decision in his heart, he wanted Xu Da to die as soon as possible.

Therefore, he gave a secret decree to Hu Ningyong, the right-hand man of Jinyiwei.

Xu Da, who was sitting in the flower hall, was in a very comfortable mood, and after a few times with Chu Liuyan, he was finally able to leave the Beijing division and go to Hangzhou. The mules, horses, and vehicles have been hired, and they can leave together as soon as Chu Liuyan comes.

"The Divine Decree has arrived."

Hearing this life, Xu Da couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, why was there a holy decree at this time.

Looking up, a young man with a bit of evil brocade clothes and guards on his face Shi Shiran entered from the flower hall, clasped his fists at Xu Da and said: "Lord Xu, the emperor has a holy decree to reward the prince with a roast goose, so that the prince can eat it in person, and I will go back to reply to the decree." ”

When Xu Da heard this, his heart was desolate, it seemed that the brother who had shared weal and butter with him still refused to let go of his life, and his doctor told him to avoid eating goose meat. Otherwise, it will suppurate, decay and die.

Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't want to live in this world anymore!

Xu Da stared at the plate of steamed goose that Jinyiwei sent to him, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

Is this the ending that the brother who swore never to betray himself arranged for himself?

"Lord Wang, if you want to enjoy it yourself, or do you want me to wait for help."

Hu Ningyong gave an order, and several brocade guards approached Xu Da with raised eyebrows.

Xu Da knew that it was inevitable, so he reached out and grabbed a goose leg, wanting to send it to his mouth.

"Don't be rude to Brother Xu." Outside the window, a woman's clear voice was heard.

With the sound, Chu Liuyan jumped into the window. A few steps in front of Xu Da, and knocked down the goose meat in Xu Da's hand.

"Brother Xu, don't do this."

Xu Da, who was already discouraged, heard Chu Liuyan's slap in the face, and felt that Zhu Yuanzhang was ruthless this time, and he should not be bullied by others at will.

Xu Da Huoran stood up, took a piece of his shirt in private, and said to the guards of the Jinyi Guard: "Bring this to the emperor, and it will be said that Xu Da will cut off his robe and righteousness from him in the future, and he will no longer be a brother in this life." ”

As he spoke, he teamed up with Chu Liuyan to fight the enemy and fought his way out of the encirclement.

"How can this be, didn't the emperor promise me to let Xu Da go." A woman's voice came from outside the door.

"Xie Cui'e, you can be more clear, the emperor has changed his mind."

"The emperor is a promise, how can he go back on his word."

"You should ask the emperor about this."

Hearing this, Xie Cui'e's heart couldn't help but sink.

Chu Liuyan and Xu Da fought and retreated, and finally reached the door of the mansion.

"Brother Xu, go out quickly, there is one of my horses outside." Chu Liuyan let out a low snort.

"I'm going to go with you."

Saying that, Xu Da slapped Chu Liuyan on the shoulder and slapped Chu Liuyan out of the door.

Then Xu Da also jumped out.

"You can't leave, the emperor has already asked me to wait and prepare."

The lanterns are lit up everywhere, and they are as bright as day.

When the two of them looked at it, there were dense archers on the wall tiles.
