Hearing this, Ning Xiaochuan had a lot of thoughts in his heart.

"So that's what happened, this is my mother's home." Ning Xiaochuan said with emotion.

Huo Xiao next to him smiled slightly and continued, "Yes, after my aunt left, my grandfather wrote a letter to my aunt, in which he explained the pros and cons of marrying her to General Ning, and finally said that if my aunt wants to stay in Youyin Capital, then she must not call herself a member of the Huo family, and cut off all contact with the Huo family." ”

This sounds quite ruthless, but Ning Xiaochuan also understands his grandfather's intention in doing this, not only to protect the Huo family, but also to protect their Ning family.

"Although my grandfather said so, my father only has a sister like my aunt, and he naturally has a heart for her, so he made an agreement with my aunt, that is, when your brother becomes an adult, he will come to the Huo family to recognize him." Huo Xiao continued, "And you are under eighteen, and it is normal for you not to know these things. ”

"So my eldest brother and second brother have been here?" Ning Xiaochuan asked in surprise.

Huo Xiao nodded, "I've been here, okay, come with me, and you'll know everything you want to know when the time comes." ”

Huo Sheng arched his hand beside him and said, "Big brother, Brother Ning, then I'll leave first." ”

I really didn't expect that their Ning family actually had such a relationship with the Huo family in the Nine Streams, if this was spread out, the Ning family would be even more targeted by the royal family, at this time Ning Xiaochuan subconsciously looked out of the door.

However, with Pei Yu here, he is not afraid of those people in the Central Mansion following him.

Thinking of this, Ning Xiaochuan couldn't help but start worrying again, this Zhongfu is the direct organization of the current emperor, as long as Emperor Gao Zhen is still there, the assassination of him by the Zhongfu will not stop, what a headache, do you have to be so vigilant for a lifetime?

The two came to the hall of the Huo Mansion, and now Huo Jian, who is now the head of the Huo family, is sitting in a precarious position, holding a small mechanism in his hand and playing with it casually, Huo Xiao took Ning Xiaochuan straight forward and arched his hand, "Father, Ning Xiaochuan is here." ”

Huo Jian in front of him had a serious expression, not angry and arrogant, and his eyebrows gave people a sense of sacrosanct majesty.

"Nephew Ning Xiaochuan has seen my uncle." Ning Xiaochuan said very respectfully.

Hearing Ning Xiaochuan's words, Huo Jian slowly put down the mechanism in his hand, got up and walked towards Ning Xiaochuan, and walked in front of Ning Xiaochuan, this kind of aura from the elders made Ning Xiaochuan dare not look up at his uncle.

Huo Jian rubbed Ning Xiaochuan's shoulder blades and said slowly, "Yes, the body bones are not bad, better than the second and fourth children." ”

"Huh?" Ning Xiaochuan raised his head in surprise, but he didn't expect Huo Jian to laugh when he looked at him, "Child, get up, go to your uncle's house, there is no need to be so restrained." ”

"Thank you...... Thank you, uncle......" Ning Xiaochuan was a little at a loss when he was shouted by this child, except for his parents and brothers, no one had ever called himself so affectionately.

Huo Xiao pulled Ning Xiaochuan up, "Okay, get up quickly." ”

"Uncle, how did you know that I came to Jinning......" Ning Xiaochuan asked suspiciously.

After Huo Jian heard this, he suddenly smiled and didn't speak, Huo Xiao next to him explained, "When you left Yindu a year ago, my father knew about you.

Second Brother Ning wrote a letter to my father and told my father what happened, and my father expected that the Gongsun family would definitely take advantage of your departure from Yindu to attack you, so he secretly cut off the beard, so that the killers of the Gongsun family couldn't even get out of Suzhou. ”

After listening to Huo Xiao's explanation, Ning Xiaochuan suddenly realized, no wonder he had encountered so many assassinations along the way, except for the last time, he had never encountered an assassination of the Gongsun family, at first he thought it was a fluke, it turned out that his uncle had always been protecting himself in secret.

"The assassin who assassinated you in Guangling was the second son of Gongsun Kang, the head of the Gongsun family, Gongsun Chong, this person has profound martial arts attainments and escaped the organs of our Huo family, which made him arrive in Guangling.

After the assassination, Feng'er wrote me a letter informing me of all the information about your visit to Jinning, so I sent people along the road to search for your whereabouts, and fortunately found you when you entered the city. Huo Jian said slowly, and when he talked about the successful assassination, his face was obviously a little guilty.

In this regard, Ning Xiaochuan did not blame the Huo family, on the contrary, he was very grateful to this uncle for helping him stop the Gongsun family for so long.

"Uncle, thank you for helping me do so much, Gongsun Chong killed a friend of mine, I came to Jinning this time to avenge him, the so-called blood debt and blood payment, his Gongsun family bullied me too much, I, Ning Xiaochuan, must let them know that my Ning family is not easy to mess with."

Looking at Ning Xiaochuan's bloody words, Huo Jian nodded appreciatively, "The five sons of your old Ning family, you inherited your father's blood, He'er is brave, but he doesn't know how to be flexible, Feng'er is rigorous and keen, but a little too cautious, Song'er and Yu'er are one through poetry and the other is learning music and rhythm, they are not like your father, but you have the style of your father." ”

"My dad?" Ning Xiaochuan was stunned, this was the first time he had heard the evaluation of his father from others, he had always felt that his father was a general who only knew loyalty, and he could do it all by virtue of his military exploits, and when Huo Jian said this, he was a little curious about his father.

"I'll talk about these later, you have to deal with the Gongsun family, but as an uncle, I don't agree with you doing this, the Gongsun family has a deep heritage, and Gongsun Chong is even more advanced in martial arts, even if you have a master sitting around you, you may not be able to hurt him.

What's more, this is Jinning, where the foundation of the Gongsun family is located, if you want to do it to Gongsun Chong again, the danger you face is unimaginable. Huo Jian calmly helped Ning Xiaochuan analyze it, Ning Xiaochuan naturally knew how powerful it was, listened to Huo Jian's words, and nodded in agreement.

"The Gongsun family is a difficult bone to gnaw, but no matter how difficult it is, I have to bite a piece." Ning Xiaochuan's eyes were like torches, and he said slowly.

Huo Jian bowed his head lightly beside him, "The Gongsun family has been in the eyes of no one for a long time, if this can be eaten here by you, it can be regarded as making them remember it for a long time, in this way, you rest in the mansion for a few days, I will let Xiao Er hand over all the information related to the Gongsun family to you, and after you have a general understanding of the Gongsun family, you are making plans, what do you think?" ”

Ning Xiaochuan hurriedly got up and thanked him, "Then thank you so much, uncle, but I may not be able to stay in the mansion, firstly, I have friends and brothers in the city, I can't leave them behind, and secondly, I have a special identity, if I stay in the Huo Mansion, if it spreads, it will not be good for you and our Ning family." ”

"It's okay, Xiao'er, take Xiaochuan to meet your grandfather, it can be regarded as making his old man feel at ease." Huo Jian said lightly.

"Grandpa?" Ning Xiaochuan was stunned and turned to look at Huo Xiao.

Huo Xiao took Ning Xiaochuan out of the living room and walked down the corridor to the backyard, explaining as he walked, "Grandpa is very old this year, he was injured by the mechanism technique when he was studying the mechanism technique twenty years ago, the dantian was damaged, and his legs were destroyed, so he passed the position of the head of the family to my father in desperation, and he locked himself in the backyard to study the mechanism technique every day until now. ”

"That's right." Ning Xiaochuan sighed helplessly.

While talking, the two came to a courtyard, the courtyard was very remote, and there was no one under it, Ning Xiaochuan asked puzzledly, "Why is there no one here, who will take care of the life on the outside day?" ”

"Grandpa didn't like to be disturbed when he was studying mechanics, he got used to it alone." Huo Xiao smiled bitterly, and then walked in with Ning Xiaochuan, the courtyard was full of various mechanism fragments, mechanism cores, gear fragments everywhere, and even a lot of drawings could be seen in the pavilion in the courtyard.

"Click." There was the sound of gear meshing and mechanism running in the room, and Huo Xiao shouted outside, "Grandpa, come out and have a look, aunt's son, your grandson has come to see you." ”

As Huo Xiao's voice fell, the door in front of him slowly opened, and a heavy footstep sounded, not the sound of footsteps to be precise, but the sound of the mechanism.

An old man with gray hair sat on a puppet similar to a chair and walked out, and the click just now was the sound of the puppet running, the old man's right hand urged the true qi, only to see the puppet slowly get up, and Huo Fuguang, whose legs were disabled, stood up with the help of the puppet and walked towards Ning Xiaochuan step by step.

Ning Xiaochuan now understood the power of the Mo family's mechanical skills, Huo Fuguang slowly walked in front of Ning Xiaochuan, although his face was serious, but with tears in his eyes, Ning Xiaochuan knelt directly and bowed his hand, "Ning Xiaochuan has seen grandpa." ”

Huo Fuguang made a hoarse voice in his throat, "Ning Xiaochuan, are you the fifth elder of the Ning family?" ”

"Back to Grandpa, it's ......," Ning Yan got up and said.

"It's like that." Huo Fuguang looked at Ning Xiaochuan and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, just when Ning Xiaochuan was confused, Huo Fuguang continued, "It's really like your mother." ”

Ning Xiaochuan was slightly stunned, seeing Huo Fuguang with white hair, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional, his mother had been gone for more than 20 years, and he hadn't seen his daughter for 20 years, how uncomfortable it was.

"Grandpa......"

"Come in." Huo Fuguang said with tears in his eyes.

Huo Xiao and Ning Xiaochuan walked into Huo Fuguang's room, only to see that the room was full of mechanical equipment, and there was a very incongruous wooden table in the corner of the room, and the table was full of rouge and gouache, which were women's makeup things.

Seeing Ning Xiaochuan staring at the table, Huo Fuguang opened his mouth to explain, "This is the table that your mother used back then, and she was reluctant to throw it away, so she left it there." ”

"My mother......" Ning Xiaochuan walked over slowly, and from the worn bronze mirror, Ning Xiaochuan seemed to see what her mother looked like when she was young.

"In a flash, all five of you brothers have grown up." Huo Fuguang looked at Ning Xiaochuan and said with tears in his eyes, "Unconsciously, the old man is also dying, and if he can't see Qian'er, he can be regarded as blind to see you." ”

"Grandpa, what are you talking about, you're still fine." Huo Xiao said while holding Huo Fuguang beside him.

"Grandpa's body is like, grandpa knows." Huo Fuguang said helplessly.
