In the Taihe Palace, a loud "retreat" announced the end of today's early dynasty.

The civil and military officials under the steps knelt on the ground and shouted long live on the mountain, and looked respectfully at the back of Zhu Yuanzhang leaving. It wasn't until Zhu Yuanzhang's back completely disappeared that the civil and military ministers slowly stood up from the ground, walked out of the Taihe Hall in twos and threes, and walked towards the outside of the palace. They were very happy today, everyone had a smile on their faces, and there was talk and laughter along the way. The reason is very simple, recently, Zhu Yuanzhang seems to be in a good mood, he has not killed people every once in a while, and the jade belt on his body has always been placed on his belly.

Outside the Chengtian Gate, Lan Yu walked to his red horse, grabbed the horse's mane, turned over on the horse's back, and his movements were still sophisticated. Unlike the happiness of the ministers around her, Lan Yu's face was a little sad.

"Grandpa, let's go home?" beside the red horse, Lan Yu's personal soldier pulled the horse's halter and raised his head and asked.

"Mountaineering," Lan Yu began.

"Huh?" the pro-soldier didn't hear clearly.

"I said I was going to climb the mountain" Lan Yu looked down at her own soldier and raised her voice slightly. "I'll go alone, you go to the mansion and let that Xu Ruyi wait for me at the top of Qixia Mountain. ”

"Yes," the soldier agreed, clenching his fists

"Remember to let him bring some wine and food," he commanded again, and Lan Yu whipped his horse and headed towards Qixia Mountain outside the city.

Lan Yu said that he asked Xu Ruyi to wait for him, but he was riding a horse, how could Xu Ruyi be faster than him.

At the top of Qixia Mountain, the noisy autumn wind blew on Lan Yu's face, making him feel very happy. This is the highest point of Qixia Mountain, which just overlooks the entire city of Nanjing. Lan Yu has three major hobbies in his life: wine, knives, and high. Drink spirits, play with long knives, and the so-called high is to ascend.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be in a good mood these days, Lan Yu always felt a little uneasy in his heart. It's a wonderful instinct honed on the battlefield. Lan Yu always felt that Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were a little cold and a little cold when he looked at him. Not only looked at himself, but also looked at Fu Youde, Wang Bi, and Feng Sheng beside him.

"Maybe it's an illusion," Lan Yu shook her head, forcibly suppressing the uneasiness in her heart.

"Grandpa" Lan Yu suddenly heard a crisp voice behind him,

'Is that kid here?'

Behind Lan Yu, Xu Ruyi knelt respectfully on the ground, and there was a small food box next to him, as well as a jar of Huadiao wine.

Lan Yu slowly turned around, "Get up, it's cold on the ground." ”

"Grandpa Xie," Xu Ruyi stood up from the ground.

"You're Xu Ruyi, right?" Lan Yu looked up and down, and said with a smile, "You don't look like your father."

"Eh" Xu Ruyi scratched his head and asked, "Grandpa knows my father?"

"I don't know" Lan Yu was stunned for a moment, and then waved his hand, "Didn't you say it yourself, dark skin and burly body, look at you, you look like a little white face." ”

'You're lying' Xu Ruyi looked at Lan Yu's unnatural expression and came to the conclusion that Lan Yu must have mistaken him for someone's son.

Lan Yufu turned around again, turned his back to Xu Ruyi, and looked at Nanjing City under the scorching sun.

Xu Ruyi didn't speak, just watched quietly.

Lan Yu's eyes looked at Nanjing City, but what he thought in his heart was the scene of the first acquaintance of the brothers, at that time, he and Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Zhu Yuanzhang, Tang He, and so on were all members of the White Lotus Sect. Now that I think about it, whether it was the official position or the status at that time, it seemed a bit nondescript, some were kings, some were sect leaders, some were called generals, and some were called Dharma kings. But at that time, everyone worked together and fought for the overthrow of the Yuan Dynasty. Later, a few of them gradually came to prominence and were appreciated by King Xiao Ming and Dashuai. King Xiao Ming is Han Lin'er, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, and the big commander is Liu Futong, in essence, all the White Lotus Sect members should be under the jurisdiction of the two of them.

Lan Yu was not impressed by King Xiao Ming, but Liu Futong was a marshal at the time, and his feelings for these generals were true. It's a pity that it was later 。。。。。

'Dashuai, I will take care of your descendants,' Lan Yu said to himself secretly.

In fact, Xu Ruyi and Liu Futong did not have any direct contact to allow Lan Yu to confirm his identity. But Xu Ruyi's description of his father's appearance is indeed a bit like Liu Futong, and he knows some simple military kung fu, coupled with the poem that sees through the flashiness, this series of coincidences together evokes Lan Yu's nostalgia for Liu Futong. This is completely a subconscious hope, he hopes that Xu Ruyi is the son of Dashuai, so that he can make up for the guilt and regret in his heart.

After a long time, Lan Yu said, "You... How have you and your father been doing all these years?"

Xu Ruyi thought for a while and replied, "Back to Grandpa's words, Ruyi and my father have been hunting in the mountains for a living, and my father will ask me to read and write in his spare time, and teach me some principles of how to behave in the world." However, we rarely go down the mountain, and usually we save some fur and go down the mountain together to exchange for some daily necessities。。。。。 ”

Xu Ruyi has not experienced this kind of life of a hunter, but this is how it is, I have never seen pork and always seen pigs running.

"Alas" Lan Yu sighed, turned around, and looked at Xu Ruyi with a soft gaze, "Are you hungry, what delicious food have you brought?" ”

"Yes" Xu Ruyi arched his hand, squatted on the ground and began to clean up. The food box was opened, and the dishes were taken out from the inside. The dishes he brought were not complicated, they were all hard dishes such as sauced meat and fatty chicken. He also brought two other bowls and poured a bowl of wine for himself and Lan Yu. These are all prepared by the housekeeper at home, and it seems that they are also very experienced.

At the top of Qixia Mountain, Lan Yu and Xu Ruyi sat on the ground and shared lunch. What Lan Yu said about the cold on the ground before seemed to be just a casual word of concern. Both of them were not in a hurry, and even a little slow. Most of the time, Lan Yu is talking, saying everything in the world, but most of them are talking about when he followed Zhu Yuanzhang to fight the world, talking about Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng. talked about his admiration for Xu Da, and also talked about his disagreement with Liu Bowen's big turban, chattered a few words, drank a few words, and then drank a few words. Xu Ruyi kept nodding in agreement, maintaining the proper etiquette, most of the wine went into Lan Yu's stomach, and Xu Ruyi just ate a lot of meat. Lan Yu's speech was a little incoherent, one sentence from east to west, and he said wherever he wanted. Why did he say this to Xu Ruyi? Xu Ruyi didn't know, but he heard the care and love in Lan Yu's words.

I don't know when it started, Lan Yu's eyes became a little drunk, and his voice became louder: "I think back then, Zhu Chongba and we were just small leaders in the sect, and Tang He was the biggest, and he was a thousand-commander. It was Liu Dashuai who appreciated and promoted us and gave us opportunities, and King Xiao Ming also trusted us. Liu Dashuai, Wen Taowuluo, Xiaoming, Wang Yi, Bo Yuntian。。。。。 ”

Lan Yu drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp, and motioned to Xu Ruyi to pour the wine, "Later, the world will be decided." I'm a rough man, but I'm not stupid. I always felt like something had changed, I couldn't tell, but I just knew. In the past, everyone ate meat in large chunks, drank a lot of wine, cried and laughed, and rushed up desperately during the battle. Then, later, they became estranged and looked at each other wrongly. ”

Lan Yu's words were a little incoherent, but they didn't affect comprehension.

"Dashuai, I'm sorry for you" Lan Yu suddenly shouted, her loud voice echoing at the top of the mountain, "But don't worry, Lan Yu will take care of him"

Sapphire's voice choked a little, and then drained the bowl of wine again. This time, Xu Ruyi didn't need to pour the wine again, he raised the wine jar himself, poured all the remaining wine into his mouth, and then smashed the wine jar and roared to the sky.

"It turns out that I am regarded as Liu Futong's descendant," Xu Ruyi finally understood.

For this meal, Lan Yu and Xu Ruyi ate for three hours. When they returned to the house, it was almost time. Both of them were a little drunk, and went back to their rooms early to rest, not even eating dinner.

It seemed that nothing had happened that day, Xu Ruyi lay on the bed and remembered a lot. He remembered his parents who had left him early in his previous life, the blood and darkness he had experienced when he joined the club shortly after graduating from college, and the pressure, threats, and struggles he had felt since he had crossed over. Gradually, these heavy memories that made him fade away, and only Lan Yu's sentence on Qixia Mountain remained: Lan Yu would take care of him.

Xu Ruyi wanted to tell him, "You recognized the wrong person." ”

But in the end, he accepted the wrong care, because he felt that he really needed this care that made him feel warm.

Xu Ruyi had insomnia, and he was confused about what he was going to do next.
