Seeing his daughter leave the white mist room, Hongtian felt a little better, and when he came to the study, Hongtian instructed the maid who was standing at the door of the study:

"Go and call Dongyuan, and say that the official has something important to discuss with him. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

The maid bowed, then bowed her head and left.

In the study, Hong leaned on the couch, his brows furrowed, and his right hand gently pressed his head.

"Wow~"

There was a knock on the door, Hongtian's eyes closed slightly, and he said calmly:

"Enter. ”

The mahogany door of the study was pushed open, and a tall and thin young man pushed the door in, this person was dressed in white fluttering, dressed as a standard Confucian scholar, and his face was quite delicate.

The footsteps approached, and Hong Tian also opened his closed eyes, and his right hand, which was pressing his head, slowly lowered, and asked:

"Dongyuan, how do you explain this?"

When the young man with the famous Dongyuan heard this, he smiled slightly:

"Father-in-law, this matter is not difficult to understand, the momentum of the first battle of the passenger ship is too huge, although you have completely erased the traces of the passenger ship, but in the scene, there are still many people who witnessed the destruction of the passenger ship, and the news will spread quickly, so the top priority now is to delay time, we don't need to wait for the Six Emperors to completely heal, as long as he can move out of bed, at that time, in front of those who have a heart, all the gossip will naturally be broken. ”

"Therefore, we must ensure the safety of the Six Princes, now all forces are ready to move, all want to seek a benefit in this chaos, Father-in-law, we have no way out, only by fully supporting the Six Princes and supporting them to the throne can we avoid this death. ”

Sighing secretly, Hongtian slowly got up from the bed, walked to the wooden window, looked at the vibrant green bamboo outside the window, and sighed:

"This Baiyue County Guard is really not so easy to do, this time it can be said that opportunities and dangers coexist, one wrong step, it is a place of no return. ”

"Those four escaped assassins should not be spared, I have ordered all the soldiers to block all the docks in Baiyue County, if they can be caught, I can follow the vine and eradicate the deployment of the second prince in Baiyue County, which is also a good thing for the safety of the six princes. ”

Hearing this, Dongyuan's young and delicate face flashed a hint of thought, and then said:

"Father-in-law, among the four assassins, those three second-rate martial artists alone are enough for us to have a headache, not to mention that there is a first-class master, just these ordinary soldiers, I am afraid we can't stop it. ”

Hong Tian naturally knew the strength of those four people, the four of them joined forces, those ordinary soldiers were helpless against them at all, and among their current forces, only Granny Long could compete with them.

How big the world is, there are seven cities under this state, and there are twelve counties in one city, Hongtian is just a district and county guard, those first-class masters are easy to match, all of them are arrogant, and Hongtian also paid a lot of money to retain the immortal of Granny Long.

Hongtian put his hands behind his back, gently rubbed the back of his hands, and then said helplessly:

"How could I not know, but ask Granny Long to help, the price is like eating ten catties of my fat, besides, it takes a lot of money to support the six princes' injuries, we must not lose a big one because of a small loss, catch those four assassins, and we can only do our best." ”

"Bachelors are like cow hair, all the words are the head, the wealth is high, so far, the only person who can be trusted, only the king of Zhennan is the hidden tiger, just wait for the black scale army of the king of Zhennan to arrive, we can sit back and relax. ”

The breeze blows, the emerald green bamboo leaves sway, and the emerald bamboos are like a graceful girl in a green dress, they are holding hands with each other, swaying together in a beautiful dance.

Standing in front of the window, the rustle of bamboo leaves colliding with each other was endless, and Hong Leaned with a thoughtful look on his face, and then said to Dongyuan behind him:

"Dongyuan, it's fifty out of twenty this year?"

Dongyuan Station leaned to Hong's side and answered:

"Yes, it's twenty-five. ”

When Hong poured into words, his face showed a look of reminiscence, and his tone was a little emotional:

"This time is in a hurry, in a blink of an eye, I have been in the office for 20 years, I have vaguely remembered, 20 years ago, there was a rare drought that year, the entire Northeast region was seriously affected, at that time I just won the lift, was assigned to a poor small county in Linzhou as the chief bookkeeper, when I received the order, I went to return to life with a warm pillow. ”

"Along the way, I have seen too much, hunger destroys everyone, from the body, penetrates to the soul, it does not rain, the fields are dry, the food cannot be grown, then eat weeds, eat tree bark, hungry people are like a group of transit locusts, where no grass grows, when the weeds are robbed by people, human nature is completely exposed at this time, people use their bony bodies to fight each other, tear and bite, the winner eats his flesh and drinks, the loser becomes the nourishment of others, and is divided alive in the wailing, that scene, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is purgatory on earth, Dongyuan, do you remember？”

When Dongyuan heard this, he quickly lowered his head, his delicate face showed a dignified look, and his voice was deep:

"Dongyuan didn't dare to forget that I was just a five-year-old child that year, and it was my father-in-law who desperately saved me from my mother's mouth. ”

At this point, Dongyuan slowly lifted the white robe, only to see that there was a row of deep tooth marks and scars on his right arm, hideous and terrifying, as if he had been madly bitten by a hungry beast.

Hongtian turned around, reached out and patted Dongyuan's shoulder:

"Dongyuan, this person is old, he can't help but recall the past, among my sons, you are the only one who can take on the important responsibility, as the eldest son, the eldest brother, you must take your due responsibility, if you fail to survive the disaster this time, I will try my best to buy time for you. ”

"Eldest brother is like father, Dongyuan, I believe that you will do your best to protect your family like me, right?"

Deeply clenched his fists and bowed, only to see Dongyuan's tone heavy, and promised word by word:

"Please rest assured that Dongyuan will definitely protect with his life. ”

Seeing that Dongyuan responded without the slightest hesitation, Hongtian also helped him up, and his tone was quite distressed:

"Life is like this, when disaster comes, someone always needs to step forward and take responsibility, you can understand this truth, Daddy is very pleased. ”

After Hong Tian finished speaking, he quickly turned around and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve robe.

With his back to Dongyuan, Hong poured out a breath, and then said calmly:

"Okay, you go, you have time to persuade Yan'er not to stay in the room full of medicinal smells. ”

"Yes, father-in-law, then Dongyuan retreated. ”

Seeing Hongtian nodding slowly, Dongyuan took a deep look at this father-in-law who had the grace to save his life, and then pushed the door and left.
