There are some things that Chu Nan still remembers clearly, even in the past ten years.

It was on a remote hill in the east of the city, two immature teenagers were sneakily hiding behind a big tree, one of them looked into the distance with a nervous face, and said with a bitter face: "Fifth brother, do you say that we are hiding too hidden, why haven't Your Highness and Third Brother come to us yet?"

The other boy hummed a strange tune nonchalantly, "Who knows? Maybe now they're home and laughing at two fools with herbal tea to dispel the heat." ”

The other teenager was obviously a little scared, and said with a crying voice: "Fifth brother, are we two stupid? Let's go back quickly, I'm afraid." ”

Obviously, these two people are Li Zhen and Chu Nan when they were teenagers, one is the prince of Luotuo whose mother's family was destroyed by his father, and the other is a poor baby who has never seen his mother since he was a child.

The young Chu Nan looked at Li Zhen with hatred and scolded: "An idiot, people didn't want us to come with us, you just want to follow, isn't it normal for people to dump you now?" Also, Xiao Jiu, are you fighting for some anger, what do you look like crying all day long, is it not ashamed, try to cry again, believe it or not, I will whip you." ”

Li Zhen pursed his lips, finally didn't dare to continue crying, and said in a trembling voice: "Fifth brother, let's go back, it's going to be dark." ”

Chu Nan grinned at Li Zhen, who was crying bitterly, walked out of the grass hatefully, ignored Li Zhen's shouting, and strode towards the direction of Chu Mansion.

Sure enough, as expected, the people who went out for the spring outing in the morning all walked cleanly. Chu Nan shrugged his shoulders and walked in front humming a song......

The camera turned, but he came to a gloomy and dilapidated courtyard. Debris was piled up in the main room, and the dust was all over the floor, and a pale-faced middle-aged man stared fiercely at the two teenagers in front of him, who were poor Chu Nan and Li Zhen. The middle-aged man grabbed Li Zhen's collar and asked gloomily, "Little doll, tell me, where is the secret treasure hidden by the Shen family when they rebelled? What did your mother say to you before she died?"

Li Zhen is still young, where has he seen such a battle, he was trembling with fright, trembling and speechless.

The middle-aged man is going crazy if he wants to get the gold and silver left by the Shen family, the little doll in front of him may be the last person in the world to know, he can't kill and kill, he is unwilling to let go, but he can't ask anything, he is crazy with anger at the moment, and the long sword in his hand keeps waving, venting the irritability in his heart.

Li Zhen looked at the middle-aged man in fear, for fear that he would swing his sword and kill him in the next moment. At this moment, Chu Nan, who was silent on the other side, suddenly rushed to the door desperately, and the middle-aged man snorted coldly, easily grabbed Chu Nan's collar, and was about to throw it back to Li Zhen. Suddenly, a cold light appeared in Chu Nan's hand, and he struggled towards the middle-aged man's throat.

The middle-aged man was furious, scolding the little beast who didn't know the current affairs, and threw Chu Nan out with a shake of his internal strength, and at the same time leaned back hard, and finally dodged Chu Nan's insidious knife.

Chu Nan grasped the timing of the knife very well, although the middle-aged man was strong in martial arts, he was still stabbed in the chest by Chu Nan, the wound was not deep, but the blood was drenched and looked very miserable.

Chu Nan slammed into the wall, spitting blood out of his mouth, his eyes were extremely cold, staring at the middle-aged man who was afraid.

The middle-aged man touched the wound on his chest and sighed: "I finally said that I was fighting geese, but now I was pecked by a finch and hurt my eyes." It's rare for you to have such scheming at such a young age, but now I can't keep you. When you arrive at the Yin Cao Difu, remember that it was Yan Nan Lin Qiu who killed you. ”

Chu Nan slowly stood up and sneered, "It's not certain who will go to hell. ”

Lin Qiu was shocked, and was about to pounce over and break Chu Nan with a sword, when he suddenly felt dizzy, and almost fell to the ground, and said with a cold heart: "The knife is poisonous!"

Chu Nan snorted coldly, quietly waiting for the poison to attack, and when Lin Qiu fainted to the ground, he picked up the long sword and pierced Lin Qiu's heart with a sword. The long sword was drawn, and blood splashed Chu Nan's face. Chu Nan took out a booklet from the corpse, threw it to Li Zhen, who was stunned behind him, and said lightly: "This is something that belongs to you, practice hard, and it will also be the capital of self-protection in the future." ”

Li Zhen picked it up tremblingly, held back the smell of blood, and looked through the moonlight, only to see that there was a very familiar signature under the page of the book, Shen Shi, the general of Zhenbei, who was also very familiar with the burning shot.

That night, the old mansion of Shen Shi, the uncle of the Nine Emperor Sons Li Zhen and the general who led the rebellion, was on fire......

The Chu Mansion in the green willow lane in the city is lit up with lights, which is very festive. In a huge rebellion, the Tianji Battalion in the royal guard inflicted heavy losses on the rebels, defended the city for seven days, and finally waited for the army of King Qin, attacked inside and outside, and completely defeated the rebels. The commander of the Skyline Sky Machine Battalion made Chu Yuan be named Xiangcheng Bo and lead the defense of the capital.

In the backyard of Chu Mansion, Chu Nan was stunned with a book, and Chu An, who was two years older, was frowning and playing chess with Mr. Private Learning. Not far away, several teenagers were dancing with knives and sticks. Chu Mad, the eldest son of the Chu Mansion, danced with a long knife that could not be splashed into the water, and the one who fought against him was Li Ling, the eldest prince who broke through the realm of the sixth rank without a weak crown. In the corner of the courtyard, Li Zhen, who was fostered in Chu Mansion, was silently holding a wooden gun and stabbing the stake, and blood beads were constantly dripping from the tiger's mouth.

Suddenly, Chu Nan, who was in a trance, was awakened by a burst of cheers, and it turned out that it was the eldest prince Li Ling who shot down Chu Mad with a subtle trick.

Chu Mad was not discouraged, and said confidently: "If you are not as good as you now, I will definitely defeat you within three years." ”

Li Ling smiled lightly and said nothing, just watching Chu Madness alone pondering sword moves in that idiot.

Beside Li Ling, a little girl in purple was cheering, looking at Li Ling with adoring eyes, and kept saying: "Brother Ling is really powerful, and he defeated Brother Chu Mad again, I want to become a great grandmaster in the future." ”

Li Ling laughed when he heard the girl's words, took the tea cup that the girl had been holding in his hand, drank it all, and said with a smile: "Okay, if I become a grandmaster in the future, I will definitely marry you." ”

As soon as she finished saying this, the girl bit her lip shyly and stood aside, the young man who was playing chess instantly lost his demeanor, grabbed a handful of chess pieces and threw them on the chessboard, and arrogantly demanded to be repeated, and the blood of the young man who stabbed him with a wooden gun flowed more and more, only Chu Nan, who was sitting on the side, laughed heartlessly.

That girl, her name is Yangmei......

As the days passed, the immature children of the year slowly grew up, so the cute little girl Yang Mei became the premier beauty in the capital, so the martial arts geniuses Li Ling and Chu Mad slowly emerged in the army, so Li Zhen, who liked to cry and cry and followed Chu Nan behind, became gentle, upright and brave. will no longer call Chu Nan's fifth brother the Nine Emperors, so Chu An, who was short-tempered at the beginning, became an important member of the household department, so the old master who accompanied Chu An to play chess became a first-class bachelor in the dynasty, everyone has changed, only Chu Nan has not changed, he is still tepid, and he doesn't care about anything. 5

Finally one day, on Chu Nan's first birthday three years after leaving home, a distinguished guest came to a shabby and simple family banquet. Ping Nanbo Yang Lie came.

Yang Lie is very old, because he is the only one of the founding fathers who has achieved great results, even if his merits back then were much worse than Chu Nan's grandfather, he still has this huge influence, and even in private, His Majesty the Honorable Emperor has to perform a nephew ceremony.

The rebellious Chu Yuan honestly served tea and poured water, and Yang Lie'an, who was usually like an old farmer, sat there steadily, not at all able to see that it was the super cowman who ordered the slaughter of the city in a fit of rage. In fact, if it weren't for the slaughter of the city back then, with his qualifications and military exploits, he would have been made a marquis and even a prince of the country.

As Chu Nan expected, Yang Lie first briefly reviewed his iron-blooded career, emphasizing his deep revolutionary friendship with the late old lady of the Chu family, and was surprised to find that the Yang family and the Chu family have extremely far-reaching origins, although the foundation of the Chu family is in the south of the Yangtze River, and the ancestral hall of the Yang family is in the northwest desert. Just when Chu Shangshu, who was known as a far-sighted, brave and resourceful man, racked his brains to think about the vague and implicit meaning of the old man of the Yang family, the old lady of the Yang family turned his head and began to look forward to the bright future of going to Chu and Yang's house.

As the old immortal and absolute leader of the Yang family, Yang Lie said that since the Chu and Yang families have had good-neighborly and friendly relations for decades, and the relationship between the two families is even more than hundreds of years, there is no reason not to let this kind of equality and mutual benefit relationship continue to be maintained, therefore, on behalf of the hundreds of people up and down the Yang family, Yang Lie would like to suggest that the two families cultivate the revolutionary friendship of the next generation from now on, unite around Comrade Li Heng, resolutely support and support the rule of the Li family, and grow together with progress in the dedication to the empire.

Then, as the host of the talks, Chu Yuan, on behalf of the Chu family, welcomed Yang Lie's visit and guidance from the seniors, and highly praised Yang Lie's evaluation of Chu and Yang's families, saying that Chu and Yang are the backbone of the development of the empire, and unity and mutual assistance are the way to survive. However, the Chu patriarch also expressed concern that the close proximity of the Chu and Yang families might cause Comrade Li Heng's little unhappiness.

Yang Lie expressed his appreciation for the Chu patriarch's sense of distress and said that power politics and hegemonism in the world today are the main forces for safeguarding world peace and development, and we also resolutely oppose any behavior or organization that may hinder these two forces. At the same time, Patriarch Yang hinted that he had obtained the approval of Comrade Li Heng, the supreme leader of the Party and the state, before coming here, and that any remarks that were unfavorable to the talks would be regarded as a provocation to the imperial power.

After some temptation, Chu Yuan finally confirmed that the Yang family's immortal coming would not cause any big trouble, and asked carefully: "I wonder how Uncle Yang thinks we can strengthen the revolutionary friendship of the juniors?"

Yang Lie didn't blink, and said lightly: "Marriage!"

Chu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and Mrs. Chu next to him was already smiling, and said obediently: "Uncle, I don't know which young lady of your family is going to leave the pavilion?"

Yang Lie grinned, showed a mouthful of rotten teeth, and said, "Naturally, it's my eldest granddaughter Mei'er." ”

Chu Yuan bowed his head and was silent, Mrs. Chu's smile was also fixed on her face, everyone in the capital knew that the eldest prince and the daughter of the Yang family were a couple, and they almost got married. And now the eldest prince is like Zhongtian in the army, and he is the most favored, if he is angered by this, although the Chu family will not be afraid of anything, it will always be a big trouble, and even Chu Mad's promotion in the army will be affected.

No matter who it is, to fight with a prince who is favored by His Majesty, loved by the soldiers, and favored by the military bosses is a birthday star who always eats arsenic, and he has a long life.

But Yang Lie came in person, and even secretly brought His Majesty's intentions, and the Chu family did not dare to refuse rashly even if they were unwilling. Mrs. Chu looked at her silent husband and said with a forced smile: "I don't know which junior of the Chu family does my uncle think can match Mei'er?"

Yang Lie's mouth kept talking, comfortably drinking the good wine treasured by the Chu family, without raising his head, he said with his fingers: "He." ”

In an instant, everyone's eyes in the room were focused on Chu Nan, who was eating and drinking in the corner, Chu Nan was inexplicable, raised his head and looked at everyone's expressions of confusion, relief, envy or surprise, and suddenly found that Yang Lie's stubby and calloused fingers were actually pointing at himself!
