Jiuli City.

Due south of the city gate.

Xiao Rang looked up at the huge city gate, which was resplendent in gold, and the plated copper layer shimmered in the sunlight, and even a human figure could be seen.

Xiao Zhan looked at the city gate lightly and said nothing.

"It's back. Xiao Zhan looked at the tall city gate in front of him and said lightly.

"yes, it's back. Xiao Rang said slowly.

In my memory, I have too little impression of Jiuli City, when I was young, I followed my father to Yinyue City, not so much that this is my home, but that Yinyue City is my home, at least I am familiar with the grass and trees of Yinyue City, but I can't remember it here.

When he was a child, his body was weak, Jiuli's sacrifice said that he had to experience the killing of the battlefield, and only by experiencing those blood and fire could he live longer, and his father, who had always been busy, personally carried himself to Yinyue City, regardless of everyone's opposition, and asked for a general position for himself.

It's strange to say that since he became a general, his body has begun to improve, and it is a miracle that the disease that the doctors of Jiulicheng couldn't cure before, can still live for so long.

Xiao Rang was full of emotion in his heart, it turned out that unconsciously, he had lived for almost twenty more years.

The city wall of Jiuli City in my memory is not as beautiful as it is now, nor is it so strong, although I can't remember it clearly, but it is definitely not far away.

"Father. Xiao Rang looked at Xiao Zhan, but saw that there were wet marks in Xiao Zhan's eyes.

"Huh?"

Xiao Zhan turned his head to look at Xiao Rang, but saw that Xiao Rang's eyes were a little red, smiled faintly, and said, "What's wrong?"

"I still remember that my father carried me all the way from here from Jiuli to Silvermoon City, so far, how did my father insist on letting Uncle Mo come back and carry me on his back, I remember that the courtiers were against it at the beginning, when my father's front was tight, you also let Uncle Mo ride back to Silvermoon City, at that time, it snowed heavily for several months, and it only took Uncle Mo ten days to travel this thousand miles, and the war ahead was urgent. ”

Xiao Zhan was silent when he heard this, and there were a few more wrinkles on his face.

"At that time, Jiuli was not as big as it is now, and the world was not the Jiuli family had the final say, my father carried me to the battlefield, just for the sacrificial words, I need more blood, my father protected me regardless of my safety, but my health is still not good, these years those conquest and killing skills have not been learned, my father is a dignified general, but I like books, my father has been fighting for the king in the east and west all his life, the name of this general, I may not be able to keep it. ”

Xiao Zhan smiled lightly, looked at Jiuli City in front of him, his face was ordinary, he couldn't see the joy and sorrow, and only after a while did he say, "You are my son." ”

You are my son......

Xiao Rang's heart was shocked, his eyes were inexplicably wet, and he looked at Xiao Zhan lightly and said, "Father, what if the king is really ashamed of his father this time?"

"The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die. Xiao Zhan said lightly.

"Father, you ......"

Xiao Rang was silent, what monarch wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die, who gives the right of King Taikang to decide the life and death of people?

Xiao Zhan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, the whole person seemed to be old in an instant, lowered his head and smiled bitterly, and said slowly: "Let your son, my father is old." ”

Xiao Rang looked at the city wall and said lightly: "If the king really wants his father to spend the rest of his life with peace of mind, it must be good, but now the king is suddenly going to seize the power of the Yinlin army......"

Xiao Rang wanted to speak again and again, thinking that even if he really wanted his father to return to Jiuli, he would not directly seize the military power and transfer it to the Xue family.

"The king's order is hard to disobey......"

Xiao Zhan sighed, his eyes narrowed slightly, Xiao Zhan, who had always been majestic, suddenly grew old at this moment.

Xiao Rang turned his head, feeling sad in his heart, and didn't want to look at Xiao Zhan Xiao Suo's appearance anymore.

"Let's go, go back and see your mother, for so many years, we have been in Silver Moon City, I am ashamed of your mother in this life, if there is really any accident in the court in the future, you must honor your mother well, and you must not be ashamed of her." ”

"Hmm. ”

Xue Bai turned around and looked coldly at Xiao Zhan's father and son, who were motionless.

"Father, I want to meet someone first, all these years, thanks to her help, I don't have much time to go back to Jiuli. ”

"Well, come back early. ”

"Good. ”

※※※

Ghost Gate Money Bank.

"Big boss! big boss!" someone called outside.

Hatsumi took a sip of wine lightly, frowned, and said, "Come in." ”

One person opened the curtain and came in, and hurriedly said, "Big boss, General Xiao has entered the city!"

"Into the city?" Chujian hurriedly put down the wine jar, but he didn't put it away, the wine jar cracked in response, the wine spilled all over the ground, and the whole room was filled with a faint aroma of wine.

"Hmm. "That's human.

"Can you see clearly?" Hatsumi said hurriedly.

"I definitely saw it clearly, although I didn't recognize General Xiao, but General Xue's subordinates knew. The cronie said.

"And where have they gone now?" Hatsumi asked.

"Back to the General's Mansion!" said the cronie.

"You continue to keep an eye on Xue Bai for me, if you don't have enough manpower, you can add it at will, I'll go to the General's Mansion!"

"Yes, boss. ”

"Oh!" Chu Jian turned his head and smiled faintly, and said, "You immediately send me a few jars of good wine and send it to the General's Mansion." ”

I was in a hurry when I first saw him, I hadn't seen General Xiao Er for a few months, even when Xue Bai arrived in Silver Moon City, I didn't have time to say goodbye to Xiao Rang at the first time, because I knew that there would be a day of goodbye after all, but this time was too long.

Hatsumi sighed, quickened his pace, and went straight to the General's Mansion.

※※※

"Someone!" Xue Bai drank coldly.

"General!" the crowd gathered around.

Xue Bai smiled coldly, pointed to the Xiao family's father and son who were still groaning, and said, "Detain them for me, without the king's order, and you can't let them go!"

"General, this ......" the crowd hesitated.

"What, didn't you hear that?" Xue Bai smiled coldly, and looked coldly at the Xiao family's father and son who were frowning and looking at him.

Xiao Rang frowned, rode his horse forward, although everyone listened to the order, but they did not dare to directly detain the world-shaking Xiao family general, Xiao Rang rode the horse, and no one stopped him.

"What, are you deaf?" Xue Bai snorted coldly, looking at the hesitant crowd with his eyebrows furrowed and glaring at everyone.

Only then did everyone hear it clearly, and everyone insisted on fighting and slowly stepped forward, frowning and looking at Xiao Rang.

Xiao Rang didn't seem to see the people around him, and slowly walked to the place in front of Xue Bai, and there was a circle of soldiers in front of Xue Bai, and the water was impassable.

Xiao Rang looked funny, looked at Xue Bai lightly and said, "General Xue, we have followed you all the way, what's the matter, don't you invite us to a glass of wine?"

Xue Bai smiled coldly and said, "You dare to take in the Yu clan and Tianliang, you disobey the emperor's order, what else do you have to say?"

Xiao Rang smiled faintly and said, "General Xue said so, what about the evidence?"

Xue Bai looked at Xiao Rang and sneered: "Do you dare to say that it wasn't those rebels who sent you that day?"

"No, it's not. Xiao Rang said slowly: "That's my distant relative." ”

Xue Bai smiled coldly and said slowly: "General Xiao disobeys the king's order, and the king will tell him that if he resists, he will be killed on the spot!"

Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this, but they just surrounded the Xiao family's father and son, but they didn't dare to step forward.

Xiao Rang frowned and said, "Since it is a verbal message, this road has been more than a few months, why did the general still let us enter Jiuli?"

Xue Bai smiled coldly and said: "This way, you spies don't know much, it turns out that General Xiao is so afraid of death, it's really ridiculous." ”

Xiao Rang finally understood that the original ending had been set a long time ago, and any luck in his heart was an accident, turned his head to look at Xiao Zhan, and said lightly: "I'm sorry, father." ”

"I want to see the king. Xiao Zhan's forehead was bulging, but he still didn't move.

"Well said. Xue Bai smiled coldly and said, "Then invite the two Xiao generals to the dungeon first!"

Everyone stepped forward cautiously, someone took the rope, Xiao Rang smiled, did not resist, slowly dismounted, let everyone tie up, looked at Xiao Zhan, who was also tied up at the moment, and said with a faint smile: "General Xue, don't go too far." ”

Xue Bai sneered disdainfully, looked at everyone lightly, and said, "Send it to the dungeon." ”

"Yes, General!"

※※※

In front of the General's Palace.

Someone brought several jars of good wine, and several people were cleaning the dust outside the mansion gate, but the door of the general's mansion was never opened, so everyone cleaned it over and over again.

Hatsumi sat on the stone steps in front of the General's Mansion and drank wine one after another.

"What about the generals?" Hatsumi asked again.

The man saw sweat on his forehead, gritted his teeth, and said: "The general entered the city gate two hours ago, presumably the general wants to take a walk around the city, and the big boss can wait." ”

Another hour passed, and when I first saw the person in front of me, there was a strange meaning between my eyebrows, and the sweat beads on the person's forehead were dripping down one by one, and the weather in late autumn was so hot.

"It's not good for the big boss!" someone ran in the distance, stumbling and almost falling.

"What?" When I first saw Wen Yan, I got up, but when I saw that it was my subordinate, I frowned.

"The generals of the Xiao family have been imprisoned by General Xue Bai!"

"Smack!"

The jar fell to the ground, making a crunch in the silent night sky.

"You say it again?" Hatsumi looked at the man coldly.

"General Xiao family, they ...... They're in prison!" the man was drenched in a cold sweat.

Chu Jian gritted his teeth and kicked the wine jar in front of him, and for a while, the smell of wine filled the door of the entire General's Mansion.

"It's despicable. ”
