Zongwu: Kill the prince? !I break the gate of heaven with one sword

Chapter 125 Is there anyone who is not afraid of death?
"Get up quickly!"

Xu Xiao lifted his steps and walked directly towards old Xu. Xu Liang'an originally wanted to step forward to support his father, but Xu Xiao waved his hand to signal his rejection.

After feeling his gaze, Xu Liang'an had no intention of doing any more extraneous movements, but just quietly stayed where he was, standing side by side with Jiang Ni.

"For so many years, I have wronged you."

Xu Xiao held back his tears, and tremblingly helped Old Xu's head up.

But the other party didn't get up, his eyes that were originally blind were already filled with tears, and his tone was full of shame.

"Xu Yongguan is ashamed of Lao Ziying and General Xu! It's really embarrassing to see you!"

Xu Yongguan is actually a very contradictory person.

When he followed Xu Xiao in the Southern and Northern Wars in the early years, Xu Yongguan was actually not a person who was good at fighting. He was even greedy for life and afraid of death in many cases, so he always hid behind his other colleagues.

And he was not a cavalry pawn at all in the beginning, just an ordinary pawn, but how tragic was the war back then?
Those cavalrymen who rushed to the front no matter who they were fighting with were the most deadly and injured part. It was only at the last resort that they were forcibly promoted to cavalrymen, but in fact he did not make any mistakes on the battlefield. much contribution.

And since Liyang won the victory and Xu Xiao was named the king of Beiliang, all his original subordinates naturally followed him to Beiliang, and those who could continue to fight stayed in the barracks, like old Xu Tou In this way, there is no merit on the battlefield, and those who are still old will be discharged directly.

In fact, Old Xu was not blind at first, and his injury did not come from the battlefield.

After retiring from the army, he obviously didn't have too many achievements, but as one of the soldiers of the veteran battalion that Xu Xiao cared about most, he still got a good discharge treatment.

But precisely because of this, his heart was full of guilt, instead of taking the money Xu Xiao gave to spend his old age, he kept distributing money to help other widows and widows in the city who needed help.

Over time, the old Xu Tou, who should have been able to live a decent life in his later years, also became impoverished. In the end, apart from this small courtyard, he had no other property.

As for the eyes, it was because of a miasma while hunting in the mountains that they were blinded. This also caused old Xu tou's temper to become very withdrawn from then on.

If he hadn't met Xu Liang'an who sneaked down the mountain to play by himself later and ran to the small courtyard by accident, he wouldn't even have anyone to talk to at ordinary times.

But all along, he only thought that Xu Liang'an was just a kid surnamed Xu, and he had never had any associations with General Xu on Qingliang Mountain.

Until today, after hearing the voice of General Xu who had been thinking about him day and night, he suddenly realized that the boy Xu who came to talk with him for so many years was actually General Xu's son!
When the few people present listened to the old Xu Tou silently narrating his past years, the expressions on their faces were very complicated, but they didn't have any dislike for him because the old man in front of him told the things he was extremely ashamed of. expression.

Xu Xiao even tried his best to support the arm of old Xu Tou, and helped him up from the ground.

"What did you say?!"

There seemed to be reproach in the words, but the only thing in the tone was full of distress.

"Which of you people from the Laoziying camp who didn't follow me when I was an ordinary captain? Without you, how could I, Xu Xiao, be where I am today? So don't say such things .”

"Besides, life and death on the battlefield are just a blink of an eye. Don't say you are afraid of death, I am also afraid of death!"

Speaking of this, Xu Xiao's eyes showed a strong look of nostalgia.

"If it wasn't for Chen Qiong..."

Xu Xiao turned to look at Xu Liang'an and Jiang Ni who were standing beside him: "Oh, Chen Qiong is Chen Zhibao's father."

After saying this, he turned his head and continued: "If it wasn't for Chen Qiong, I would have died on the battlefield long ago, and he died there for me."

"You don't know, even I had nightmares for a long time back then. The content of the dream was all about Chen Qiong dying in front of me. Later, I thought, if Chen Qiong is not by my side in person, then I am Didn't he die on the battlefield long ago?"

"Because of this, I have been afraid for a long time!"

A faint smile appeared on Xu Xiao's face.

"So if you want to say that it is wrong to be afraid of death, then you are talking nonsense! Who in this world is not afraid of death? Even if it is my son, with such a high level of cultivation, how dare he say that he is not afraid of death?"

Good guy.

Xu Liang'an's expression froze, why did he change the topic to himself when he said something right?But he also knew that his father just needed his own son to accompany him to a wave of oboe, so he nodded very obediently and said.

"Afraid! I must be afraid! It is human nature to be afraid of death, it is our instinct, who can not be afraid of death?"

Xu Xiao nodded cheerfully, as if he was very satisfied with his son being able to cooperate with him in front of his old subordinates.

"So, Brother Xu, you don't have to say such things anymore! How many of the Eighteen Old Characters Camp survived? Every one of them is the treasure of our Beiliang, our old Xu's family. I'm sorry for you."

Xu Xiao was actually very ashamed in his heart.

For these old brothers who accompanied him from nothing to conquer the world, he couldn't recognize their faces and even couldn't remember their names, but without these people, Xu Xiao wouldn't be where he is today. He has always been deeply attached to this matter. Keep it in your heart.

Otherwise, after becoming the king of Beiliang, he would not have specially instructed him to treat those old soldiers kindly.

He originally thought that what he had done was good enough, but now that he saw the current situation of old Xu Tou, he still couldn't help but feel a little sad.

How many of those veterans lived the same life as old Xu Tou?It might even be worse than him!

Xu Xiao's eyes looked around in the small courtyard. There were chicken coops and vegetable fields. In fact, relatively speaking, old Xu Tou was already considered pretty good among ordinary people.

But in fact, all of this is also due to Xu Liang'an.

Coincidentally, when Xu Liang'an was young, he stayed in the Beiliang palace and enjoyed all kinds of care. Later, after he awakened the memory of his previous life, he became extremely curious about everything outside the palace.

And it was the first time he met old Xutou when he sneaked out of the palace alone. How did he know the way when he went down the mountain for the first time?After getting lost alone, he was met by the old Xu Tou who happened to go hunting in the mountains.

At that time, old Xu was not blind, so he took Xu Liang'an home when he saw how dirty he was all by himself.

Later, after going back and forth, the relationship between the two people became better and better, and it vaguely became a relationship like a year-end friendship, and Xu Liang'an only said that his surname was Xu, and never said his own name. The same is true for old boss Xu. Xu Liang'an only asked him to call him Old Xu Boss, but he also didn't say his own name.

So these two generations, who only knew each other's surname, just called each other's surname and got along for more than ten years.

It's just that old Xu never thought that this kid Xu, whom he had called by his name for more than ten years, turned out to be General Xu's son.

It's no wonder that Xu Xiaozi doesn't seem to have that much respect for General Xu almost every time he is in front of him. Before, old Xu Tou thought that he was a young man in Beiliang who was used to a peaceful life, so he didn't know General Xu's How important is the name taboo to these Beiliang veterans.

Now that he has fully realized it, it turns out that Xu Xiaozi was talking about his own father all along.

A wry smile appeared on Old Xu's face.

"I'm ashamed of myself. I didn't know all these years. The little Xu I was talking about turned out to be our little prince. I hope General Xu and His Royal Highness will punish him!"

Hearing this, a dissatisfied look immediately appeared on Xu Liang'an's face, but his expression was not really dissatisfied with old Xu, but to ease the old Xu's heart. It's just an awkward atmosphere.

"Old boss Xu, what are you talking about? Look down on people? A little prince sent me away?"

"Forehead……"

Old Xu's face was stunned, what does this sentence mean?
But then he heard Xu Xiao's voice.

"Hehe, Liang'an is not the little prince, but our eldest son, the eldest son of Beiliang!"

After hearing Xu Xiao's words, the expression on Old Xu's face was extremely shocking. Originally, he thought that General Xu's son, even if it was just Fengnian or Longxiang, could treat him like this for so many years. Xu Yongguan was the greatest honor in his life.

But never expected that this Xu family boy turned out to be the son of Beiliang, that His Highness?

A deep touch of emotion welled up in his heart, and the tears that had been put away with great difficulty suddenly flowed out from his eyes again.

The body that was held up by Xu Xiao earlier wanted to kneel down again.

"This subordinate is not worth spending so much time and energy on being His Royal Highness for so many years!"

But before his body knelt down, he felt a strong resistance blocking his body, and this force was particularly warm, making their bodies, which had been suffering from illnesses for so many years, feel a burst of incomparable comfort. meaning.

"Old Xu, look at you!"

Xu Liang'an's voice rang in his ears.

"What's the matter, son? I'm not a busy person like our general Xu. If I have more time, I would like to spend more time with you. Besides, if you hadn't saved my life back then, maybe I would have become the leader of that mountain. The beast's rations are gone, so speaking of it, you are actually my savior, so there is no problem for me to repay my savior, right?"

It doesn't matter if you say this.

The expressions on Xu Xiao and Jiang Ni's faces changed suddenly!
Because the two of them never knew that Xu Liang'an had experienced a life-and-death crisis when he was young.

"what happened?"

Jiang Ni didn't care about Xu Xiao's face, grabbed Xu Liang'an's arm and asked with concern.

Xu Liang'an then smiled lightly and opened his mouth.

"My mother never let me leave the palace since I was a child. I was afraid that some spies and assassins from Liyang or Beimang would plot against me. It was okay at the beginning, but I couldn't bear it when I was in my teens. ah?"

"So once I sneaked out from the palace, but I didn't know the way outside the first time I came out. When I came down from Qingliang Mountain, I took a fork in the road and went straight into the forest and got lost. If it wasn't for Old Xu I just happened to go up the mountain to hunt and met me, and if I was brought down the mountain, with my small physique at that time, I guess it would be their rations if they encountered any wild wolf or the like."

What Xu Liang'an said was very simple, but both Xu Xiao and Jiang Ni were thrilled to hear it. They really didn't expect Xu Liang'an to have such an experience.

Xu Xiao only knew that after Xu Liang'an sneaked out of the mansion for the first time, that bastard Chu Lushan led his troops to search for a long time before he found Xu Liang'an who was attracted by the singing in the city at the foot of the mountain, but he never expected to find his precious son He had experienced such danger before.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiao couldn't help feeling scared for a while.

"In that case, then Xu Xiao must thank brother Xu for saving the dog's life back then!"

Old Xu was bewildered by Xu Xiao's sudden thank you, Xu Liang'an said to Xu Xiao with a look of disgust after seeing his appearance.

"What kind of dog? Then you say you are the tiger father?"

The expression on Xu Xiao's face froze, and then he looked at his precious son with a flattering expression, signaling him to save himself some face in front of outsiders.

After Xu Liang'an gave him a blank look, he didn't say anything more.

Only then did Xu Xiao cheerfully continue to say: "Anyway, he is a good son of our old Xu's family!" After saying this, he turned his head to look at the old Xu who was beside him.

"Brother Xu, we are still hungry. I wonder if you have anything to eat here?"

The purpose of his saying this is naturally not only to get in touch with old Xu Tou, but also a very important point is that after finally coming out of the palace, he also wants to see Beiliang under his rule , What can these common people eat.

Although Xu Xiao is a general, he has always devoted a lot of energy to governing the people and dare not relax in the slightest.

But after all, he has a special status, and there is no one in Beiliang who doesn't know his appearance, so the private visit in a micro-service is simply nonsense, and he promises that he will be recognized by his hind feet when he leaves the Prince Liang's mansion.

As for this time, the same is true.

It's just that the guards who came out with him in the mansion had already intercepted all the people far away from the old Xu's courtyard. Otherwise, he really thought that he, the King of Beiliang, would come down from Qingliang Mountain by himself?
"Hungry?" After hearing Xu Xiao's words, Old Xu stumbled: "Yes, yes! There is something to eat, my subordinate... Well, I'm going to catch chickens for General Xu, just wait a moment!"

"Come on!"

Xu Liang'an rolled up his sleeves.

"You'd better sit down, I just took the two little guys to catch chickens."

"Can……"

Now that old Xu Tou knew Xu Liang'an's identity, he would naturally not let him do this kind of thing again, so he wanted to refuse, but was interrupted by Xu Xiao directly.

"Hey~! Brother Xu, sit down quickly. It's only thanks to you that I can eat the dishes made by my precious son. You can't spoil my good deed!"
