The wax hangs on the edge of the candlestick and piles up a thick layer.

There was a 'poof' sound in the hall, and the moth hit the lampshade outside back and forth, and Zhu Gongdao squinted his eyes slightly, and flicked his fingers to bounce the moth away.

On the side of the main seat, the wine fell into the wine glass with a soft sound, splashing some water stains, Su Chen picked it up and handed it to Zhu Gongdao: "Have a drink?" ”

The latter retracted his gaze and shook his head with his spear.

"Uninteresting."

Su Chen took a sip, and in the voice of the servant who was reporting outside the courtyard, he lowered his voice slightly: "Why hasn't that Your Majesty appeared yet?" ”

"I don't know, but I can feel that His Majesty is here."

Zhu Fairness is weak, ask a sentence and answer a sentence, Su Chen exhaled, stood up and asked him to go to the back to get a stick of incense, after lighting it, he walked to the middle of the hall, bowed three times to the outside, restrained his distracting thoughts, looked at the night outside with mental concentration, and called softly:

"Ding'an City Marquis Mansion Su Chen, ask to see Emperor Han!"

The rustling of the treetops swaying and stroking.

A gust of wind came in the courtyard, and a pair of red lanterns hanging under the eaves swayed back and forth, Su Chen watched the smoke from the long incense in his hand disperse and fly outside, and suddenly a cough came from the end of the corridor on the right.

Ahem!

Before Su Chen stepped out of the hall, the lanterns under the eaves suddenly became bright and extinguished, and looking at the row of window lattices on the right side from the hall, a black shadow was reflected in the paper windows and slowly smoothed out.

'So eerie? ’

Thinking of the dream within a dream yesterday, Su Chen's face was a little unsightly, if it was a ghost movie...... The terrifying and eerie image in his brain had not yet been made up, and a figure had already appeared at the door.

The simple gray robe, the old man with white beard, walking on crutches as if he was walking, and as if he was floating, crossed the threshold and came in, and saw the stunned Su Chen smiled, not as eerie and terrifying as he imagined, but more like the kind elders in the village.

"Thanks to your incense, I will have a chance to return to the world."

The old man looked Su Chen up and down, nodded again and again, and seemed to be very satisfied, he walked straight to the side of the seat on crutches and sat down, "Don't be the emperor when I am...... Come, sit down with me and talk. ”

"Yes!"

Su Chen arched his hand and turned back, but he didn't sit in the first place, but sat down opposite Liu Xie, remembering the doubts in his heart, he couldn't help but speak first: "The dream last night, but Your Majesty ......"

The old man nodded.

"I fell into your dream."

"Then why did Your Majesty help me?" To be honest, Su Chen doesn't believe that a little incense will impress the other party, this Emperor Han Xian's speech and demeanor from his appearance to the present is not like a puppet with a string, what Su Chen says, the other party will do it.

"I'll help you...... In addition to thanking you for your incense...... In fact, there is another reason. The old man smiled, leaned over and sniffed the tea that Zhu Gong brought on the table, "It's so fragrant...... I haven't tasted it for many years, and it seems that it is still beneficial to come first. ”

Liu Xie praised it, and when he saw Su Chen, he smiled and continued.

"Another reason is like seeing your past self......"

Su Chen frowned: "In the past? ”

"Huh...... Seeing what you have done during this time, I am reminded of when I was younger. The old man's eyes were slightly confused, and he said softly: "When I was young, I was like you, I never thought of competing with my brother for the throne, isn't it just a chair, as long as the brothers are harmonious, I am very happy...... It's a pleasure...... My brother also achieved that position...... It's a pity that you should know about the rest of the story, so I won't mention it. ”

"So Your Majesty help me? It's as simple as that? ”

The old man came back to his senses: "It's that simple. ”

"Then does Your Majesty have any other subordinates sent to me?" Su Chen looked at the old man with some expectation, but the answer he got was Liu Xie shaking his head with a smile.

He stroked his long gray beard: "You can't control them yet." ”

"Why?" Su Chen's brows tightened.

The old man didn't answer, just looked over with a smile, and after a long time, he only said a simple sentence: "I will send Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, and Huangfu Song...... These people are coming, do you think you can have the confidence to control them now? ”

Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu?

Su Chen's eyes sank, Huangfu Song didn't talk about it first, the two in front of him were both tiger and wolf disciples, and they really couldn't control them at this stage, if they were sent, according to their personalities, they couldn't say that Ding'an City would become more chaotic.

"I have one more thing to ask for." The old man, who had been silent for a moment, suddenly spoke, interrupting Su Chen's thoughts, "...... When I woke up and looked at you, I was actually thinking about one thing, if I really mastered the court at the beginning, would the big man be different? After the Yellow Turban, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and there was no conquest and war in the states...... But I haven't really been an emperor for even a day......"

He looked at Su Chen and paused in his tone: "I don't know if I can fulfill this wish?" ”

Is this obsession?

Su Chen frowned slightly.

"But he is not the Son of Heaven, how can he make His Majesty the emperor once?"

"It doesn't have to be an emperor...... I just want to experience the heroic spirit of dominating the world. Liu Xie took out a token from his sleeve and put it on the table, "Tiger and wolf general, maybe you can't control it yet, but you can use the heroes on this token." ”

Su Chen stepped forward to take the token, oblong in shape, half the size of a palm, the material is similar to the one in Zhu Gongdao, and there are two words on it: Tiangong.

"Heavenly Father...... It's the ......."

Su Chen raised his face and was about to ask, when suddenly a spirit arose, he woke up from the chair, there was silence all around, the moths were still crashing around the lampshade, and the lanterns under the eaves hung quietly as usual.

Zhu Gongdao stood to the side with a spear, not squinting, and the seat where the old man was sitting was empty.

However, the token in his hand proved that what had just happened was real.

"Did Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty really come just now?" Su Chen looked at Zhu Gongdao, who turned his face slightly and nodded silently.

"It's so mysterious, others can't see Your Majesty?"

Zhu Gongdao nodded again.

"Then if I go to the hut, he won't see it, right?"

The corners of Zhu Gongdao's mouth twitched, and he didn't know how to answer this time.

At this moment, someone came over outside the door and respectfully called outside: "Little Hou Ye, Hou Ye is awake." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Chen had already walked out quickly, and rushed out of the crescent gate to the backyard from the side of the little girl, and the two brothers who received the news also rushed over, and they were both inside at this time.

Seeing his current mother all the time, he got up with a tired look and let his three sons approach the bed, Su Chen squeezed between the two brothers and called out to the figure on the bed.

"Daddy."

Su Congfang had just woken up, his body was weak, and he couldn't support his spirit at all, so he just squirmed his lips and fell into a coma again.

But being able to wake up finally made the family breathe a sigh of relief.

"Mother, you go to rest, the children will take care of it here." Su Yong supported the woman and persuaded her to send her out of the room to the maid Chunmei to take a break.

When he came back, Su Chen looked at the sleeping old man on the bed, turned around and said, "Two brothers, leave it to me here, you still have to deal with many things in the city tomorrow, don't stay up all night and waste your energy." ”

"You haven't done this, how can you take care of your father." Su Lie disagreed.

The second brother has a straightforward temper, Su Chen has long been used to it, he smiled: "Isn't there still a maid waiting outside, I will guard by the bedside, and wait for my father to wake up, if there is anything I need to call the maid, this little thing will not be sloppy." ”

Su Yong and Su Lie do have a lot of things to be busy tomorrow, and now that their father wakes up, it means that there will be no danger to their lives, and they will go back to rest, and tomorrow they will have the energy to deal with the chaos of the assassination.

"Well, in that case, then you are here to accompany your father, and if you have something, you will find the maid to come and inform us." Su Yong's tone was soft, he patted Su Chen on the shoulder, and took Su Lie away.

As soon as the person left, the room became quiet.

Su Chen raised his hand and waved his cuffs, and the two maids waiting at the door consciously retreated to the door and closed the door gently.

The candle flame shook gently.

The standing figure slowly walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, holding the old man's hand and being silent for a while: "Dad, what happened today is surprising, how do these assassins know that you will come to soup kitchen?" ”

Looking at the old man's closed eyes, Su Chen suddenly smiled.

"It's nothing more than a ghost in the house, after all, I can know that you don't have much on the trip, and you will always find out. However, the eldest brother and the second brother like to be upright, and it is more appropriate for me to do this kind of thing in the dark corner. ”

Belch......

In Su Chen's words, the old man who fell into a coma on the bed suddenly let out a moan, opened his eyes slightly, and saw the little son in front of him, he opened his mouth weakly.

"Su Chen...... How did you...... Here it is..."

"I'll watch over my dad tonight."

Su Chen smiled and brought the warm soup on the bedside, and fed it to him one by one, "My mother has been guarding all afternoon, the eldest brother and the second brother still have something to deal with tomorrow, I am the most idle in the house, so naturally I should take care of it." ”

The old man looked at his son who was holding the bowl and spoon smiling and talking, and suddenly had a ridiculous illusion, not at all like the old man who made him break his brain.

"It's hard for you."

"On weekdays, it's the eldest brother and the second brother who are doing things, so I cheat and play tricks, hide and relax, and now that something happens at home, I always have to be filial to my son." Su Chen returned to his usual look, "If you don't even have this bit of filial piety, you might as well stuff it back into your mother's belly." ”

"You ......" Su Congfang grinned weakly, somehow, when his son said these bastard words today, he didn't feel angry, "Just talk bastard...... Less followers in the future...... The people in the city are messing around...... Dad was relieved. ”

"Well, Dad is right, serious people who mess with them."

"You bastard, you're the most unserious!"

"Huh!"

Su Chen put the warm soup back in its place, the father and son chatted for a while, and when he saw Su Congfang falling asleep again, he sat on the edge of the bed and stayed until the sky was dark, and his mother led Chunmei to take over, and then he got up and went out of the house.

It's been a long time since I've stayed up all night, and I remember when I was fifteen years old in Zuihualou.

When I thought about it, I had arrived at the dining hall in the front yard, the eldest brother and the second brother went out to run errands early in the morning, leaving only two brothers and sisters-in-law, the eldest sister-in-law Yin Suhuan was generous and decent, and had a gentle temperament, and most of her mother's family members were officials in the court, and after marrying into the Su family, she didn't show a different look to Su Chen, an uncle who had no 'ability'.

"Wait a while, Hongzhen and I are going to take care of our father and mother, don't run around."

"He's the most idle in the family, what can he do if he doesn't go to the street?" Hongzhen is the nickname of the second sister-in-law, and her words are very joking.

"I understand."

Su Chen smiled and said, there were footsteps coming from the door of the mansion, and Thirteen stood at the door and called in a low voice: "Little Marquis." ”

"The two sisters-in-law use it slowly, I have something to deal with."

Looking at the back of getting up and going out, the second sister-in-law Hua Hongzhen pursed her lips, "Pretend." ”

"Red True!" Sister-in-law Suhuan put down the dishes and chopsticks and turned her face sideways, looking at her with some blame.

……

"Got eyebrows?"

Out of the side hall, Su Chen stood under the eaves of the corner and looked at the tired Thirteen, the latter looked left and right, nodded and whispered: "I have inquired up and down the city, and I have found some clues, and some brothers have seen that the four assassins yesterday have been in contact with some people." ”

As he spoke, he leaned closer to Su Chen's ear and said a few words.

Su Chen's eyes narrowed, turned around and walked back, going to the courtyard of the South Wing, his tone was cold.

"Call me justice, come with me!"
