The two glanced at each other, and the words they blurted out seemed to outline an invisible bond between the two. That's the bond of blood.

Lu Jinghong smiled bitterly and said, "Should I call you Fourth Brother, or should I call you His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince?"

The thin young man smiled slightly, and said, "Then should I call you a fool, or should I call you Murong Hong?" and then waved his hand and called: "You can just call me brother." ”

Lu Jinghong hesitated for a moment, but shouted: "Big brother!"

The thin young man's body trembled inadvertently. In the vast world, only the person in front of him has the same blood as himself, the same blood of his father and mother. asked Lu Jinghong to call him brother, he really didn't want to admit that those princes were his brothers, but Lu Jinghong's big brother really moved him and reminded him that the person in front of him may be the closest person to his blood in the world.

His heart warmed, and he said gently: "I don't know if Li Fu and Hua Jun have told you my name, my name is Murong Bai." But usually when I walk outside, I use Dugubai's name. ”

Lu Jinghong said: "Then Murong Hong, is it the name my mother gave me?"

Murong Bai said: "Actually, it was my father who got you the name. After a pause, he said, "I know you have a lot of doubts in your heart, so let's sit down and talk slowly." ”

Lu Jinghong was also not polite, sat down according to his words, and said, "I don't know when my eldest brother will know about my existence?"

Murong Bai sighed faintly: "I knew about your existence ten years ago, but I didn't know until recently that you were in Luofeng Village, because then I had the ability to come to you." ”

Lu Jinghong groaned slightly in his heart, Murong Bai knew about my existence ten years ago, and it must have been told to him when his mother died. I'm afraid that at that time, he will understand in his heart why his mother died. And at that time, Murong Bai was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, but he lost his support since then, facing those intrigues in the palace alone, without relatives, and carefully preserving himself, all of which can be said to be thanks to himself. And his mother, in order to save her younger brother, did not hesitate to deceive her father, went into the cold palace, and finally died because of her younger brother, leaving herself in this cruel court......

For a while, Lu Jinghong suddenly felt that his mother was too unfair to his brother.

couldn't help but say: "Big brother, I've suffered you all these years...... It's all because I ......" and then he stopped, not knowing what to say.

When Murong Bai heard these words, he was stunned for a moment, and in an instant, countless scenes passed through his heart, and his expression changed in a thousand ways. But just a stunned look, he returned to a flat expression, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I'm used to it." ”

Got used to it...... Accustomed to intrigue, accustomed to intrigues, accustomed to hiding their hearts, accustomed to loneliness at night. Why do I use Dugubai's name when I walk outside, one is to commemorate my mother, and the other is the kind of loneliness that can't be erased in my bones.

The corners of his mouth curved slightly, and he lifted the wine and poured it for Lu Jinghong, saying, "Today, on the day of my brother's reunion, I won't talk about that." ”

Lu Jinghong raised his glass and said, "For my mother, cheers!"

Murong Bai also raised his glass and said, "For my mother!"

The two drank it all.

~~

It was getting late, and the mist began to rise on the lotus pond, and the figures of the people in the lingering pavilion became more and more hazy.

Everyone in the courtyard had long been dismissed, and no one heard the conversation between the brothers in the gazebo. It's just that from a distance, you can see the two of them laughing for a while, raising their glasses and drinking each other, and sighing and shaking their heads for a while.

In the pavilion, Murong Bai had already roughly explained what had happened in the past ten years, Lu Jinghong didn't say much about his experience, he believed that Murong Bai had already investigated it clearly before he saw him.

Lu Jinghong was already a little drunk, pulled Murong Bai's sleeve and said, "So, in fact, my father still likes my mother all the time?"

Murong Bai sighed, "Mother, I have always been my father's favorite woman. ”

"Back then, my father sent my mother into the cold palace, but I didn't resent her for sending you out of the palace, but because I was angry that she didn't want to discuss such a big matter with me and made a decision. Although the princess had been canonized at that time, my father also tried to find you back, but my mother said that this matter is also the will of God, if you are found at that time, I am afraid that the prophecy of the White Tiger Star of the national teacher will really be a certainty, and there is no room for turnaround. ”

"Although my father knows that my mother's prediction skills are powerful, how can I want you to be left alone, and I have also sent an intelligence department to visit in private, and my mother said that when she went down the mountain, Master gave her a talisman, saying that once this talisman is activated, it can block all heavenly opportunities within eight years. When my mother sent you out of the palace, she used this charm on you. ”

"Sure enough, in those years, no matter how my father investigated and secretly visited, he couldn't find your whereabouts. It wasn't until ten years ago that the rune paper failed, and you were found by the second prince and poisoned. ”

"Mother has already told the teacher to come and shelter you. Later, Niang secretly arranged for General Li Fu and Mr. Hua Jun to protect you, but she herself was attacked because of the divination of you, vomiting blood and seriously injured. Who expected the ancestor to be blocked on the road, and when he arrived, he was a step late. ”

"And it was then that I learned that I had a younger brother instead of a younger sister. At that time, when my mother died, my father and I stayed by her side, and my mother said, since her fate cannot be measured, it must not be short-lived, so that my father does not have to worry too much, only ten years later, you will naturally wake up. ”

"Why didn't my father send someone to protect me at that time?"

A cold light flashed in Murong Bai's eyes. "Why did your Dao Niang send Li Fu and the wine pig to protect you instead of letting your father's men go? My father had already found out your whereabouts at that time, but all the people who sent them were blocked on the way. You said that my stupid second or third emperor brother, the prince has such a ability? ”

Lu Jinghong was taken aback: "Father didn't find out who it was?" Murong Bai poured himself a glass of wine and drank it slowly, but he didn't speak.

Lu Jinghong had a flash of inspiration: "National teacher?" Then he frowned and said, "Could it be that my father, the lord of a country, has his authority to fall to such a point?"

Murong Bai glanced at Lu Jinghong invisibly, but did not explain. just said: "Behind the national teacher is Fan Shuge. ”

Lu Jinghong frowned, "So, if the Fan Shu Pavilion interferes in the affairs of the Wu Khanate, doesn't it mean that these monk sects don't interfere in mundane affairs?"

Murong Bai said lightly: "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes." Unless you cultivate to become a true immortal, as long as you are still a mortal, who doesn't want power, it is an invincible poison in the world. ”

Lu Jinghong glanced at Murong Bai. "In this way, if you want to ascend to the throne, big brother, you have to take care of this national teacher first. ”

Murong Bai's eyebrows raised slightly: "I'm not interested in this position." ”

Lu Jinghong pouted: "I'm not interested either." But my father didn't necessarily think so. Don't let go of the son you like, and let those losers ruin the country?"

He glanced at Murong Bai again and said, "You learned about me ten years ago, and you only had the ability to come to me not long ago, I'm afraid that my father left some of his secret hands to you, does my father really believe in the theory of national fortune, for fear that you will become the king of the fallen country, so let these people mess around?"

Murong Bai's face changed, and he said, "How do you know about the fortunes of the country?"

Lu Jinghong smiled slightly: "I not only know about the fortune of the country, I also know how to crack it." ”
