What no one expected was that Han Shizhong and Yu Han, who had never seen each other, would hit it off at first sight, a veteran and a teenager, but there was no age gap when they spoke.

They walked out together, Han Shizhong asked Yu Han's father about his situation while walking, Yu Han knew that when they were still in the end of the year, they had met and traveled together, talked about their ambitions together, and later became an official in the same dynasty, Han Shizhong entered the military camp, and Yu Qi chose a local career.

Unexpectedly, decades have passed, and they are no longer the age when they were full of pride, and they can see the son of the old man again.

Zhao Ying and Luo Bei walked side by side, listening to the words of the two people in front of them from time to time, but they fell into silence again.

Walking like this, the two of them naturally felt the subtle and awkward emotions between each other.

Zhao Ying suddenly stopped, and at the moment when Luo Bei lowered his head and walked past him, he reached out and grabbed Luo Bei's shoulder, just like when he was in the Lotus Temple.

"Luobei, at the beginning, we walked a very difficult road together, many people died because of me, but I still hid a lot from everyone, especially after Brother Yang died in battle, my resignation and don't make you unhappy......"

He pursed his lips, and there was a trembling emotion in his eyes.

Luo Bei didn't go any further, but stopped, in fact, he couldn't tell whether Zhao Ying was "unhappy" or what he was.

"I think even if I don't say it, you must be able to guess that my identity is not ordinary, otherwise it is impossible for the Jin people to send elites to surround it again and again," Zhao Ying said as he looked at the night in the distance, and there was an indescribable fear in his pupils, but there was a hint ......of crystal.

Obviously, as he said this, he was recalling something more terrifying than the night, and it was probably the worst nightmare of his life.

"I was able to escape from the cave because of the faithful guards who bought them with their swords and their own lives, they had no names, only similar but completely different code names, and when they fell in front of me one after another, the blood in their bodies flowed out slowly, gradually merging into one, like the blood of a man, and when they were dying, they left me almost the same words...... That is, don't trust anyone in this world......"

"So I've long been accustomed to facing death, if it weren't for the cost of so many lives, I probably wouldn't want to stay in this world, and since then, I don't dare to trust anyone except Yun Niang......"

Luo Bei still didn't look up, but his body was trembling slightly, obviously, although he could imagine that it was not easy for Zhao Ying to escape from Jin Bing's hands again and again, he still didn't fully expect that this escape path would leave such a deep trace in his heart.

Yes, he is only the same age as himself, but he has a more tenacious and calm temperament than himself, and he seems to be indifferent to everything, and what he has experienced is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

"They sacrificed their lives to save me, not because I had anything worthy of them, but because of my identity......"

Hearing this, Luo Bei's heartbeat accelerated a little, although he had imagined Zhao Ming's hidden life experience countless times, but he still couldn't help but be a little nervous at this moment when he really wanted to know.

"I am the seventh grandson of Emperor Taizu, a descendant who has nothing, knows nothing, and can't even practice the only boxing book left by Taizu, and so many people sacrifice for the sake of my body

Bloodline, isn't that ridiculous!" Zhao Jin's tone was a little more self-deprecating.

"No ......"

Luo Bei suddenly interrupted him, turned around, as if looking at the thin but extremely tough young man in front of him again, the mystery was finally solved, but he still didn't expect that he was actually a descendant of Taizu, the founding emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.

There are also many rumors about that period of history more than 100 years ago, such as why Taizu did not pass on the throne to his descendants, but transferred it to his younger brother who assisted him in ascending the throne, which was later Taizong.

There are even rumors that the brotherhood was deep at the beginning, and the brother was set to pass on the brother, and then Taizong returned the throne to the descendants of Taizu, so that the incense of the two will be eternal, but I didn't expect that Taizong still passed the throne to his son after all, but today, Taizong's lineage was completely lost after the year of the Jingkang Rebellion, and Taizu's lineage is relatively prosperous, and it can be regarded as fate.

Luo Bei smiled faintly and said, "I can't imagine that you can have so many things on your mind when you usually seem indifferent to anything, it seems that people are really unseemly......"

"However, I think you have no choice now, because those people have died because of you, and their ambition and lost lives should all be borne by you, even if you want to unload this burden, it is impossible!"

There was no reproach in Luo Bei's tone, and he finally understood why those people were willing to die for him, I am afraid it was not only because he had the blood of Taizu on his body, otherwise how could someone like Yu Han associate with him, and a famous general like Han Shizhong looked at him with unusual eyes.

"When I returned to Lin'an, I found that many people looked at me differently, some people regarded me as a thorn in the eye, and some people ...... Just like Uncle Han, he is full of expectations for me, in fact, how can I not understand what they think, but I really don't want to be the kind of person they want me to be, I just want to stay away from constraints, even if it is just to wander the rivers and lakes......"

Zhao Ying shook his head, at this moment, he was like a child who was dissatisfied with life but helpless, he had gone through hardships, and he also knew that it was not easy to be born, and it was even more difficult to survive, so he had always hidden these words in his heart, and he had never even said it in front of Yun Niang.

"Do you really think I'm easy......" Luo Bei exhaled and said with some sighs.

Now Zhao Ying has told the biggest secret of his body, and said the words that no one poured out in his heart, although the feeling is very different from before, but at this moment he is undoubtedly more real and more "three-dimensional".

Sometimes people don't seem to match their actual age, maybe because of experience, and then they have too much "baggage" in their hearts, which makes people become silent, Luo Bei sighed, because he doesn't know when the "baggage" that has been deposited in his heart for a long time will be untied.

He looked at the deep darkness of the night, hoping that a ray of sunlight would shine in when he needed it suddenly.

......

Lin'an, outside the southern city.

It is close to the river bank, and it is the end of Lin'an's prosperity, because it is full of dilapidated houses and water families who rely on fishing for a living.

Of course, the poor live next to the poor, and there is no long street full of lights and no morning market full of shouts, but the smoke here is stronger, and the people seem to be much more simple.

Lin'an South City is not so much a part of Lin'an, but a part that has long been abandoned by this prosperous ancient city

Originally, this place was also located within the four cities of Lin'an, but after some transformation, this place was not only thrown out, but also more than ten miles away from the real Lin'an South City.

The people here don't feel much unfair because of this, they still live a simple life, watching the climate change on the river every day to judge whether the weather is suitable for boating.

Of course, there will always be some people who take risks and drive lonely boats, not because they like to take risks, but because they need to exchange it for the "capital" of their family's life, some of these people can return with a full load, and some of them will stay in Jiang Xin's giant belly forever.

There are some stories circulating here, some people have seen a stormy night, on the stormy river, a small boat in the wind and rain upstream, in the bow of the boat stood a shirtless man, facing a monstrous wave in front of him, he actually raised a wide and large sword to cut the waves out of the hole, and drove the boat away.

Tonight, the sky over the southern city is full of heavy clouds.

Nowadays, very few people choose to go out and risk in such weather for a bite to eat, after all, life and death are big things, and it is better to live than to die in a storm.

In the afternoon when the dark clouds gathered, there were no people on the muddy path.

The smoke rises, and it looks like the thick clouds in the sky are connected with the earth in the form of countless whirlpools, and I wonder if there is a huge mouth behind the clouds, feeding on the smoke and fire of the world.

There is a temple outside the village where people live, and inside there is a statue of the god who blesses the safety of the fishermen, and the incense is usually very strong.

In such weather, no one will come to worship, but there are bursts of voices from the temple.

The father was probably saying something gently, and the little girl's voice was sometimes clear, sometimes it became a vague childish language, and perhaps only the father, who had lived with each other for many years, could understand what she was saying.

At this time, a string of thunder sounded.

Then, a fierce wind swept through the heavens and the earth, and lightning cracked through the night, revealing as if it were a demon's cheek.

It didn't take long for the torrential rain to finally fall.

The raindrops of beans hit the tiles on the roof of the temple, making a "crackling" sound, which quickly drowned out the voices of the father and daughter.

Fortunately, the father and daughter have long been accustomed to this kind of life, although the little girl is young, as long as she is in her father's arms, she seems to be not afraid of anything.

Ye Zhiqiu sat on the futon in front of the statue, leaning his back in front of the incense case, and in his arms was an extremely cute little girl, with two small pigtails, her eyes were already a little blurred at the moment, but she seemed to be trying to insist on not wanting to sleep, because her father's story was not over yet.

"The sea god jumped into the sky, looking at the confused sea, and the countless overturned ships, she was also saddened, but this is the inherent rule of the world, whoever breaks it will be punished, even she can only abide by ......"

When Ye Zhiqiu lowered his head, the little girl was already asleep, and every time he looked at this little girl, his already dry eyes were still warm and loving.

"Hey......"

He finally sighed.

"You're still so young, you should always find a mother to take care of you......"

As he said this, he couldn't help but think of that beautiful back, and that languid gaze, the sound of her piano had accompanied him and her daughter for countless nights, but she didn't know it.

......
