After Hong Zhiru left the pavilion, he happened to meet his eldest brother Hong Zhiyuan.

And this Hong Zhiyuan is actually only two years older than Hong Zhiru, and the two were not born to the same mother.

On weekdays, although the two brothers do not have any holidays, they have rarely had contact with each other since they were young, and the relationship is not very good.

It stands to reason that if it were in normal times, the two brothers would nod to each other at most when they met, and then they left separately.

But this time, Hong Zhiyuan took the initiative to call out to his younger brother, Hong Zhiru.

I saw Hong Zhiyuan from a distance, and after seeing his younger brother Hong Zhiru, he stopped directly, and when he walked to the front and back, he asked: "Second brother, do you have something to do here?" Can you accompany your eldest brother around?"

After hearing Hong Zhiyuan's words, Hong Zhiru glanced at the other party in a little surprise, then nodded, and laughed softly: "I can't ask for it!"

————

In the purple bamboo forest.

The two Hong brothers walked one after the other, just chatting about some very ordinary family routines.

Hong Zhiru knew in his heart that since this eldest brother with a weak personality was willing to take the initiative to find himself, it was absolutely impossible, and he simply wanted to let him take a walk with him.

However, since the other party did not take the initiative to bring up the conversation, he was happy to pretend to be confused.

As Hong Zhiru expected, it didn't take long for Hong Zhiyuan, who was walking in front, to take the initiative to speak: "Second brother, I have already told my father that I will lead troops to the Great Wall of Demons in the next year." ”

Leng Buding heard the other party say such a sentence, Hong Zhiru was directly stunned in place, frowned, and after a while, he asked with some confusion:

"Big brother, if you really want to lead your troops to fight and make war achievements, why don't you go directly to the border of our Qiu Shangguo? There will still be a battle there! Why go to the Great Wall of Imperial Demons that will kill you for a lifetime?"

Hong Zhiyuan turned around, put his hand on his brother's shoulder, and said in a rather heroic tone: "Second brother, there are some things that someone must do! What's more, the eldest brother is a martial arts person, if he doesn't go to the Great Wall of the Demon to be a scout for three years in this life, I'm afraid that the word 'martial arts' will be in vain!"

"But you are still the son of our Anle Palace, if you leave, then ......"

Unexpectedly, Hong Zhiyuan directly interrupted Hong Zhiru's words, and said: "Eh, second brother, you don't know, I have always been very tired of these family power things!"

Therefore, the big and small affairs of the family are handed over to you sisters, and you help my father deal with it, and I, as the eldest brother, am actually completely relieved in my heart!

The only thing I regret now is that I only know that I am obsessed with martial arts all these years, and the relationship with those of you who should be close to me is too weak, so that I, as a big brother, really feel a little sorry in my heart!"

"Big brother is serious......"

“......”

————

In the room, Hong Zhiru was a little thoughtful for a while.

In fact, although he is a half-brother, his perception of this big brother has never been bad.

As Hong Zhiyuan himself said, he is a martial arts idiot and is only interested in martial arts matters.

And a martial idiot, it may not be easy for people to get close to him, but they definitely can't hate him.

However, just now, his eldest brother suddenly told Hong Zhiru that he was going to the Great Wall of Demons after the New Year, and this news made Hong Zhiru a little difficult to accept for a while.

You must know the danger of the Great Wall of Demons, even those immortals who have cultivated quite profoundly, they may fall at any time, not to mention these martial arts practitioners who are only better than ordinary people?

Basically, as long as you go to that place, you are the existence of cannon fodder, not nine deaths, but ten deaths!

You know it's a dead end, so why do you want to go?

This made Hong Zhiru, who has always been calculating, a little puzzled.

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

Hong Zhiru put his thoughts back and said loudly: "Come in!"

Then, I saw a woman dressed in red, who opened the door and walked in, it was Hong Zhiru's personal maid, the red musk deer.

I saw her walk up to Hong Zhiru, salute him, and said respectfully: "Son, just now the chief manager Wang sent someone over, saying that the master meant, please go to the middle hall." ”

"Do you know what's going on?"

The red musk deer shook his head, and said: "The person who sent the message was dumbfounded, I asked him for a long time, and I didn't ask why." ”

Hong Zhiru nodded, didn't say anything more, and got up and walked directly towards the middle hall.

After arriving at the middle hall, Hong Zhiru first glanced at it with his spare eyes and found that most of the entire middle hall were his own family, including his eldest brother Hong Zhiyuan.

And under the throne of his father, King Anle, there was a young Taoist in a Taoist robe, who seemed to be not very old.

Hong Zhiru walked straight to the middle of the middle hall, faced King Anle, bowed, and said respectfully: "Father, the child is here!"

An Le Wang Hongyuan nodded, and said with a smile: "Find a place to sit by yourself!"

Hong Zhiru agreed, and after he found a place to sit down, he took the initiative to ask: "Father, I don't know who this little Taoist is?"

Anle Wang Hongyuan laughed and explained: "Zhiru, don't look at this Xiaodao elder is quite young, just look down on him!"

From the conversation just now, I can guarantee that this little Taoist leader is definitely really talented and learned, and he is not comparable to those charlatans!"

Hong Zhiru also smiled, and said: "It is naturally unusual to be so valued by my father, but I don't know what your Dao number is?"

Xuanyi made a mockery and said in a calm tone: "Poor Dao Xuanyi." ”

"The Xuanfa leads to the sky, the Tao and Qi are unified, and the Dao name of the little Taoist is quite meaningful!" Hong Zhiru praised in his mouth.

Xuan Yi smiled lightly and did not say anything.

Hong Zhiru saw Xuan Yiyi's calm face, and couldn't help but glance at him.

At this time, An Le Wang Hongyuan took the initiative to ask: "Xiaodao Chief, we have already chatted a few words just now, and we have a preliminary understanding of each other.

Hong dared to ask here, I don't know what the Taoist chief is doing when he comes to the mansion?

Genichi shook his head.

"That's ...... Do you want to calculate the blessings and misfortunes for the people in my house and make a piece of incense?"

Xuanyi still shook his head, but this time he didn't wait for the other party to ask again, and took the initiative to say:

"In fact, Xiaodao came this time, there is indeed one thing that wants to bother the prince, if the prince can make it convenient for Xiaodao, you and I will form a piece of incense, it is not impossible!"

"Oh, it's okay to say it!"

"I heard that your second son, Lord Wang, is going to marry in the near future?"

Anle Wang Hongyuan laughed loudly, and said in his mouth: "The little Taoist is very well-informed, if you want to participate in my son's wedding, this king will naturally ask for it!"

Xuan Yi smiled slightly, did not speak, and continued to ask: "I also heard that the object of the second son's marriage is the princess of the dead country of Hualai Kingdom. ”

Hearing this, King An Le's face changed slightly, and he said with a little smiling: "I don't know where the little Taoist heard this rumor, my son is just an ordinary noble woman, where did he come from!"

Xuan Yi's face remained unchanged, in fact, from An Le Wang's strange performance, he had already seen some clues, so he continued to speak:

"I don't know if I can bother King Anle, let me meet the woman who is going to marry the second son!"

Anle Wang Hongyuan's face sank, and at this moment, Hong Zhiru spoke:

"Xiaodao Chief, I am the second son of Anle Wangfu, Hong Zhiru.

According to our custom, you want to see my fiancée before I get married, I'm afraid it's a little unruly, right?"

Xuan Yi's words were neither humble nor arrogant, and continued: "Please also ask the second son to make it convenient, if it turns out that this news is indeed an empty nest, then Xiaodao will naturally make some compensation!"

"I don't know, what is the matter with the little Taoist chief looking for the princess of the dead country?" Hong Zhiru still looked kind, but he could already see some sharpness in his eyes.

"She's an old friend of mine!"

"Presumptuous!" At this moment, the grumpy Anle Wang Hongyuan said directly.
