Xia Yan finished drinking a meal with Beikunlun, and when he caught up with the boat upstairs, it was already night.

Not far in front is the pass, the building ship docked overnight tonight, and cleared the customs into the city early tomorrow morning.

Xia Yan had already made an appointment with several other people, and before dawn, everyone left.

And that night, everyone else was resting on the shore, and in the cabin of the ship, only Xia Yuntian and Xia Yan, father and son, were left.

The old man used to speak in front of others.

At this time, there is only a son by his side, and the conversation is a different set.

In the flickering candle flame, Xia Yuntian said in a low voice: "The king of Chu rebelled, it was a small wind and small waves.

The real threat of the Yuqing Dynasty is the Great Liang Empire in the north, and the Western Regions Palace, which has 100,000 soldiers with ill intentions.

Jiang Yuquan, the king of the Western Regions, has been wooing me all these years, but I am not interested, which has led to the current situation of the Xia family.

Son, will you blame your father for this misfortune because of me and for implicating you? ”

Xia Yan shook his head: "Dad, it doesn't matter if something happens, let's just settle it." ”

"It's hard." Xia Yuntian said, "Learning the palace and discussing the sword is indeed a way out for you personally.

But if you want to protect the Xia family with this, break this thought as soon as possible.

Although the cultivation world and the secular world seem to be different from immortals, they are actually inextricably linked.

Behind every secular regime, there is the shadow of a sect of cultivation.

Why is our Yuqing Dynasty weak now, the national strength is one layer, and the young saint is another, but these are not the main reasons.

The main root cause is that the cultivation sect behind the Yuqing Dynasty has changed in the cultivation world, and it can't take care of the secular regime.

This led to the Great Liang Empire sharpening its knives, and the Western Regions Royal Mansion was ready to move again.

Behind these two forces, there is also the support of the cultivation sect.

Especially the Great Liang Empire, as one of the three major empires in the secular world, the sect behind it is the top sect in the cultivation world.

With such Mount Tai at the top, it is only a matter of time before the Yuqing Dynasty is annexed and divided.

Therefore, if you want to solve this problem in the school palace sword, it is a fate of wood and fish.

Because the sect that supported the Xue Gong Sword behind the scenes, that is, the sect behind the Yuqing Dynasty, has now collapsed.

And I, Xia Yuntian, offended not only the King of the Western Regions.

There is also the Great Liang Empire, and the sect behind it. ”

"No, Dad, I'm not keeping up, let's take a look. Xia Yan asked, "Our family can't get rid of our family because of a forging weapon technology, and the king of the Western Regions can't get rid of it, I can understand this."

The Great Liang Empire regards the Yuqing Dynasty as a bag, and if our technology falls into the hands of the Yuqing Dynasty, it will definitely increase the difficulty of their annexation, so they want to get rid of our family, which I can understand.

However, the sect behind the Great Liang Empire is just the hole card of the regime, and it stands to reason that it will not be alarmed until the regime survives.

This matter of our family should not be able to threaten the existence of the Great Liang Empire.

How can you still alarm the sect behind the people?

Such a big sect in the cultivation world is more real than a small Xia family in the secular world, this can't be justified, right? ”

Xia Yuntian was stunned after hearing this, and glared at Xia Yan: "What do you kid want to say?" ”

"You're hiding something from me." Xia Yan said, "Dad, in the current situation of our family, it is right for my son to die with you." But you have to let your son know how we died. ”

Xia Yuantian looked at Xia Yan and didn't say anything for a long time.

Xia Yan smiled and went to the kitchen.

In the afternoon, half of the four dishes he put into the food box to drink with Li Juling, and the other half stayed in the kitchen, waiting for the father and son to have a drink in the evening.

These four dishes can be eaten hot or cold.

Spiced beef, crispy peanuts, cold radish skin, braised vegetarian chicken.

The dish does not need to be hot, the wine should be scalded.

Huadiao rice wine, the entrance has to be hot, but it must not be boiled, otherwise it will taste bad.

There is no need for a big stove to scald wine, there is a briquette stove in the kitchen, and if you usually boil water, you can just put the wine jug up at this time.

Five or six minutes before and after, Xia Yan brought up the wine and food, and handed over the chopsticks with both hands.

Xia Yuntian scolded with a smile: "Little rabbit cub, are you trying to use wine and food to extract a confession?" ”

Xia Yan blinked: "At most, it's just to induce confessions, whether you say anything or not." ”

Next, the father and son pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and a pot of piping hot rice wine was divided in half.

After drinking and eating, the old man looked satisfied, and then twisted his head out of the window, looking at the river under the moon in a daze.

Xia Yan was not in a hurry, put his hands on his knees, bowed his head and waited.

After a long while, I only heard the old man on the other side sigh faintly and said softly, "Your mother." ”

Xia Yan nodded, waiting for the old man to continue.

The memory of the predecessor is equal to Xia Yan's memory.

But Xia Yan's memory of his mother is only his mother who died of illness when she was three years old.

She was too young when she left, and she didn't have much of an impression, but she basically listened to her father later.

And the mother of this world, the memory is completely blank, and the old man has never mentioned it since he was a child.

The Xia family is also a big family, and there are many slaves.

When I was a child, I heard some gossip that he was the result of the old man's wandering flowers, born to a woman in a green building.

The old man doesn't look very strict with his son, but he has always been generous to his subordinates and rarely gets angry.

And the family who spread this word was beaten to death by the old man in front of everyone in the family.

Since then, no one has dared to mention the mysterious housewife of the Xia family.

From childhood to adulthood, the predecessor also asked about his mother many times, but the old man avoided talking about it.

By tonight, Xia Yan was twenty-four years old, and the old man was finally willing to speak.

Xia Yan can be regarded as a human being in two lives, but he has no mother in two lifetimes.

When he heard the news from his mother at this time, he was calm on the surface, but he actually had mixed feelings in his heart.

"Your mother is not from the world." Xia Yuntian said faintly, "She is a fairy in my eyes, in fact, it is not far behind." ”

Fifteen days ago, at the mouth of the Sanjiang River, a new moon hung in the sky.

Fifteen days have passed, and outside the cabin at this moment, the moon is like a disk.

Xia Yuantian looked at the full moon in the sky and continued: "She recreated me with kindness and gave me two things.

It's the same, it's your son.

The other is a secret method of forging to save my Xia family's crumbling trading at that time.

She told me back then that this law should not be made public.

Even if it had to be made public in the end, it could only go through the official channels of the Yuqing Dynasty and accept the management and constraints of the secular regime.

If my Xia family makes it public in private, or grants it to others, it will be the cause of troubled times.

So up to now, only I have mastered this secret method, and even you haven't passed it on. ”

Xia Yan nodded, half of the doubts in his heart were solved, and then asked, "Then where did my mother go later?" ”

Xia Yuntian's face was a little lonely, and he said: "She is a fairy in the sky, so naturally she wants to go back to the sky."

Before, I saw that you had awakened the sword species, and I thought that you should inherit your mother's cultivation talent, and I was ecstatic.

Immortals are different, I can't chase her back to the sky, but if you are successful in cultivation and can find her in the end, that's fine.

How is she doing in heaven, can you send me a message?

As a result, your subsequent progress in your practice ...... Hey......"

Xia Yan was slightly embarrassed and touched his face: "What's that, I've changed it now." ”

Xia Yuntian nodded: "It can be regarded as pitiful, so that when Xia Yuantian was dying, he finally had some hope." ”

Xia Yan frowned: "Dad, you wait a little longer, I'll take care of it." ”

"What's wrong again?" Xia Yuantian said dissatisfied, "You also said that you didn't coerce a confession." ”

"It's not." Xia Yan said with a bitter face, "You have been talking about this for a long time, and you haven't told me why our family provoked the sect behind the Great Liang Empire, and why my mother went back to heaven." You have a foot in the sky and a foot on the ground, just touching people with emotion, that can't be rounded. ”

"You little bunny was a little stupid before, but you are also honest and cute." Xia Yuntian pointed at Xia Yan's nose and scolded, "Why haven't you seen you for a while and become a ghost?" ”

Xia Yan rolled his eyes: "Don't you look at what kind of father I have." ”

"You ......" Xia Yuntian seemed to be choked, and then waved his hand impatiently, "I finally remembered your mother, you kid has to destroy the atmosphere, this is unfilial piety!" ”

Xia Yan shook his head and said: "My mother gave birth to me and left, there must be hardships in it, plus you have suffered from lovesickness for so many years.

Compared with the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, you two don't even have a magpie bridge.

If I don't understand the reason, I will be unfilial. ”

"Who is the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl?" Xia Yuntian glared and asked, "Is it as deep as my love for your mother?" ”

"It doesn't matter who they are." Xia Yan waved his hand, raised his head and said, "Since you don't want to say it, then I'll guess."

Dad, isn't it the sect that doesn't have long eyes, so you can't be reunited? ”

"No, why is your kid talking so loud now?" Xia Yuntian sank his face and reprimanded, "That's a cultivation sect, and it's the top sect in the cultivation world, and the secular regime can be at the mercy of whatever you want, what do you mean by this murderous face, what do you want to do?" ”

"I didn't want to do anything." Xia Yan was stunned for a second and changed to a smiling face.

"Son." Xia Yuntian said in a deep voice, "Your mother has been away for more than 20 years, and I have long since broken off my thoughts about this.

I, Xia Yuntian, have built the best blades in the world, have done all the best deals, and slept with the most beautiful fairies, and this life is enough.

I have no regrets, I need you, my son, to make amends.

You live your life in a down-to-earth and peaceful way, and pursue what you want to pursue, and that's it.

What happened in our previous generation, we ended in the previous generation.

Even if something isn't so perfect, it's a life experience.

The moon is cloudy and sunny, let alone a person? ”

"Daddy." Xia Yan called out, and wanted to say something more, but saw the old man withdraw his gaze to the sky, look directly at himself, and said solemnly:

"You and your friends, get off the boat now, go where you want.

You are not allowed to take care of my affairs here.

If you dare to disobey, you and I will be cut off by father and son! ”

"Dad, don't get excited." Xia Yan hurriedly stood up, "I'll leave now." ”

……

Xia Yan failed to induce a confession this night, and was driven out of the cabin by the old man.

The mood was naturally depressed, and he stood on the deck in a daze.

Chen Wenbing came over at this time and stood beside him.

Xia Yan knew in his heart that this kid had actually been eavesdropping for a long time.

Chen Gongzi patted Xia Yan's shoulder and said softly: "Xia Yan, in the future, our brothers will fight on the sword and fuck him." ”

"Hmm." Xia Yan looked at the dark night sky, "Fuck it." ”

……
