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

Chapter 140 Poor people must have something to hate

A young man with a faint smile on his face, dressed in white clothes, spotless.

"Who are you?"

Yan Wenluan asked in a deep voice, he had no impression of the young man in front of him, and he was sure he had never seen him before.But the other party actually knew that he would come to Liangzhou, and both the time and the place to intercept him were very accurate, which made Yan Wenluan subconsciously think a lot.

"Nephew Xu Liangan, I met Uncle Yan."

After hearing the three words Xu Liang'an, Yan Wenluan's pupils shrank subconsciously, and then looked at Xu Liang'an with a complicated expression.

For Xu Liang'an, the son of Northern Liang, in fact, Yan Wenluan had never had a good impression before.After all, in his opinion, as the eldest son who will succeed Xu Xiao in the future, Xu Liang'an should have been in the army since he was a child, instead of hiding in the palace and enjoying happiness all the time.

So over the years, he has actually asked Xu Xiao many times in the name of the guard of Youzhou to let Xu Feng come to Youzhou to practice with Yan Wenluan himself, but Xu Xiao refused all of them. The matter is over.

Yan Wenluan also scolded Xu Xiao for a long time because of this, thinking that now that he has become the king of Beiliang, he is reluctant to let his son go to the battlefield.

Until Xu Liang'an turned out to be born, the things he did on Longhu Mountain first, but at that time Yan Wenluan was still skeptical.

It wasn't until the news that Xu Liang'an defeated Wang Xianzhi spread throughout the world that Yan Wenluan finally realized it. It turned out that he had misunderstood Xu Xiao all along, and even underestimated Xu Liang'an, the son of Northern Liang.

It's just that he never thought that when he came to Liangzhou this time, Xu Liang'an would come to the border of these two states in person.

Skillfully turning over and dismounting, Yan Wenluan immediately clasped his fists towards Xu Liang'an as soon as he stood still: "Yan Wenluan has met His Royal Highness."

"Why does Uncle Yan need to be so polite?"

One side of Xu Liang'an's body did not receive Yan Wenluan's gift.

According to the etiquette system, there is nothing wrong with Xu Liangan, who is still the heir of Northern Liang, receiving Yan Wenluan's worship, but after all, Xu Liangan still has a memory of another storyline belonging to this world in his mind.

He has the kind of admiration from the heart for Yan Wenluan, a veteran.

All this is because of the words Yan Wenluan and Xu Fengnian said in the original story: "If I don't live to the day when Beiliang soldiers come to Beimang imperial city, please ask the prince to take my ashes to Beimang." , and brought it into Beimang Palace."

This sentence alone is enough to make Xu Liang'an's heart full of respect for this Beiliang veteran!

"I don't know why His Royal Highness is here?"

Yan Wenluan was full of doubts.

"Uncle Yan is old, and traveling long distances is too much of a burden on his body. Liang'an is here to pick Uncle Yan to Qingliang Mountain."

"This……"

A trace of inexplicable emotion suddenly appeared in Yan Wenluan's eyes.

And Xu Liang'an explained with a slight smile: "Father said that according to Uncle Yan's temperament, he would go directly to Beiliang as soon as he received the letter, and I counted the time. The city is over, so I simply came here and waited."

But in reality, how could he have the time to count these hours?
He was the one who sent the letter from Qingliang Mountain to Youzhou City, but it was just because if he was doing errands and delivering letters in his current capacity, it would be somewhat uncomfortable to say so.

Moreover, it is inconvenient for him to go directly to the Yan Mansion in Youzhou City and take Yan Wenluan away directly, which will inevitably attract many attentions.

After simply handing over the letter to the people in the academy and asking them to deliver the letter to Yan's Mansion, he strolled to the border of the two prefectures ahead of time to wait for Yan Wenluan's arrival.

The facts did not exceed what Xu Xiao had expected before, Yan Wenluan's character was indeed unable to hold back such things, and immediately rushed to Liangzhou directly after reading the letter.

As for Yan Wenluan, after hearing what Xu Liang'an said, a look of relief appeared on his old cheeks, but it quickly dissipated without a trace.

"Is everything the general said in the letter true?"

"nature."

Xu Liang'an nodded lightly, and said before Yan Wenluan continued: "The context is complicated, and I can't explain it clearly in a few words. I will take Uncle Yan back to Qingliang Mountain first, and I will talk about the rest later."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the soldiers who came with Yan Wenluan earlier: "Everyone, just continue on your way. I have ordered someone to inform you of the station. After you arrive at the station, you can take off your armor and go play in the city. Yan Wenluan and I Uncle will go ahead."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the soldiers to respond, he just waved his sleeves lightly, and the small world in his body opened to wrap Yan Wenluan inside.

The figures of the two disappeared directly into the sky.

All that was left was the envious eyes on the ground.

……

Originally, Zhong Hongwu thought that after he came to Qingliang Mountain, he would be immediately held accountable by Xu Xiao.But to his surprise, not only did he not see Xu Xiao's face, nor did he see the scene of being locked up in a prison as he thought.

Instead, he was "imprisoned" in a small courtyard.This is a small courtyard in the Beiliang Palace. In the past, there were many people in the Palace, so there were many rooms and small courtyards prepared.

It's just that in these years, there are fewer and fewer people in the palace, and more and more rooms are vacated.There are several small courtyards like the one where Zhong Hongwu is "imprisoned" in the entire palace.

of course.

It is said to be "imprisoned", but it is not.

Except for an ordinary family member of the palace waiting outside the courtyard in case Zhong Hongwu needed anything, Xu Xiao didn't even arrange for a single guard soldier.

One is that there is really no need to be so nervous, even if no one is watching Zhong Hongwu here, he is still unable to escape.

Furthermore, this is also what Xu Xiao did, and the last point is worthy of his old brother.

Of course, he could also directly choose to put Zhong Hongwu in prison, but this is not Xu Xiao's character after all.The world calls him "Human Tu", but in fact he is the one who attaches the most importance to feelings. Of course, the most important thing is the feelings of those old brothers who once fought bloody battles with him.

Moreover, he had asked Xu Liang'an, his precious son, to personally pick up Yan Wenluan to Qingliang Mountain, and let Zhong Hongwu stay a little more comfortably for a while before he arrived.

in the courtyard.

Zhong Hongwu's mood at this time was indescribably complicated.

If Xu Xiao had thrown him directly into the prison, he would have felt much happier.But it happened that he was arranged in this small courtyard with a comfortable atmosphere.

The more this happened, the more severe the torment Zhong Hongwu suffered in his heart.Unspeakable self-blame and guilt kept pouring out of his heart, but he also knew that all of this was useless and meaningless.

He just sat silently in the small courtyard, making sure that he was always in the sight of the servant of the palace. This was probably the last thing Zhong Hongwu thought he could do to make Xu Xiao, the former brother, let go of him. The next thing to do.

"Your Highness! Your Highness!"

Just when Zhong Hongwu was in a daze, the voice of the servant outside the courtyard suddenly sounded, pulling his thoughts back to reality.

After hearing the word "Prince", Zhong Hongwu's body suddenly trembled.He stood up suddenly, then turned his head to look outside the small courtyard in a panic, and he saw a limping figure walking into the small courtyard.

"General..."

Zhong Hongwu, who was originally like an emperor in Lingzhou, looked like a child who had done something wrong after seeing Xu Xiao's figure.

With just three words, the tone was full of timidity, and there was nowhere to put his hands.

And Xu Xiao just looked at Zhong Hongwu silently, his eyes were also very complicated at this time, because Xu Xiao couldn't understand how this old brother in front of him, who was just like before, could do such a thing?
Zhong Hongwu originally wanted to say "I was wrong", but before he could open his mouth, a figure jumped out from behind Xu Liang'an, raised his right hand and pointed at Zhong Hongwu's nose, and yelled: "Zhong Hongwu! Has your conscience been wrong all these years?" They were all eaten by dogs? How did you become what you are now? Have you forgotten those old brothers back then? Forgot the oath you swore when you were young?"

Zhong Hongwu looked at the person who opened the mouth with deep fear in his eyes, opened and closed his mouth, back and forth several times, but he couldn't say a single word.

When he was young, the person Zhong Hongwu feared the most in the Beiliang Army was not Xu Xiao, but Yan Wenluan who was yelling at him in front of him!

Although Xu Xiao will have a military order like a mountain when he marches and fights, he can still laugh and laugh with his old brothers on weekdays.

Alone Yan Wenluan, no matter during the war or in private, has always maintained a very serious state all year round. At that time, Zhong Hongwu was scolded many times by the big brother Yan Wenluan. Yan Wenluan naturally felt a sense of fear.

It's just that he never expected that this big brother who hadn't left Youzhou for more than 20 years would appear in the Northern Liang Palace in Qingliang Mountain this time.

"Brother Yan..."

"Shut up! Who the hell is your big brother?!"

Yan Wenluan raised his eyebrows, his beard turned up slightly because of the excessive anger in his heart, and he sneered at Zhong Hongwu without any other expression on his face.

"I, Yan Wenluan, a countryman like me, don't deserve to be called big brother by General Zhong."

Hearing Yan Wenluan's words, Zhong Hongwu's expression was extremely bitter, and he tried hard to say something, but found that he still couldn't say anything.

The expression on Xu Xiao's face at this time is still very complicated.

Zhong Hongwu could clearly see disappointment, anger, doubt and even a little self-blame in his eyes.

Zhong Hongwu can understand all the previous emotions, but the last self-blame is as if Xu Xiao said to him personally: "Blame me, why didn't I manage you well."

This made Zhong Hongwu's last line of psychological defense that had been strong in his heart finally completely collapsed, his legs could no longer support his body, and he knelt down directly towards the ground.

But the expressions on the faces of the other three people present did not change at all, especially Xu Liang'an.

There was no friendship between him and Zhong Hongwu, and if he insisted on saying something, it was the intention of swearing to kill in his heart, and there was nothing else.

"You don't have to, get up and talk."

After all, Xu Xiao sighed softly, walked past Zhong Hongwu staggeringly, walked to the stone bench and sat down slowly.

"It's been a long time since the three of us got together to talk like this?"

Xu Xiao's eyes were filled with a little reminiscence.

"I remember the last time when the world was just pacified. At that time, our brothers just came to Beiliang, a place where no grass grows, and you vowed to turn Beiliang into the place we imagined. .”

"Yes!"

The anger on Yan Wenluan's face had dissipated at this time, he was sitting beside Xu Xiao, his eyes were also reminiscent.

"Liangzhou is responsible for commanding the three states, Lingzhou controls the cavalry, and I, Youzhou, control the infantry. After fighting against the Northern Mang Tartars for so many years, while developing Beiliang, this is finally the good situation we have today."

"But why did you, Lingzhou, become like this? Why did you, Zhong Hongwu, become like this?"

Yan Wenluan's tone was full of hatred for iron.

"The general gave you the control of the Beiliang cavalry. Could it be that you, Zhong Hongwu, can't figure out what this means? Don't you understand how much the general thinks highly of you? Why do you still want to do this kind of thing?" matter?"

"Are you right for your dead parents? The two of them have been ordinary people all their lives, but they didn't enjoy a day with you, Zhong Hongwu. As a result, you, Zhong Hongwu, are able to treat your own people like this? You really are not afraid of your Daddy and mother will be stabbed in the back when they get down there?"

Every word of the old man's words was like an extremely sharp sword, directly piercing Zhong Hongwu's heart, making it difficult for him to breathe for a while.

With infinite remorse hanging on his face, Zhong Hongwu's body immediately began to tremble uncontrollably, his drooping head was covered by his hair, and there was the sound of sobbing.

But whether it was Xu Liang'an, Xu Xiao, or Yan Wenluan, they didn't respond to Zhong Hongwu's gesture.

poor person must have something mean.

This sentence is the most true portrayal of Zhong Hongwu today. If he was only responsible for being a general of Lingzhou, how could such a thing happen today?All this is nothing but his own fault!

"Get up, no matter how much regret you feel in your heart now, it doesn't make any sense."

Xu Xiao's voice was full of exhaustion.

"Sit here and have a good chat. It's right to talk casually between the three of us old brothers. After today, there should be no such opportunity again."

Zhong Hongwu, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled violently after hearing Xu Xiao's words.But after all, he stood up slowly as Xu Xiao said, and then sat down on the remaining stone bench.

But Xu Liang'an didn't stay in the small courtyard any longer after he glanced at Zhong Hongwu lightly.

He wants to leave time for these three old people who were once comrades in life and death.

of course.

He will pay attention to this place at any time, but if Zhong Hongwu has any thought of harming Xu Xiao and Yan Wenluan, he will be suppressed into a ball of meat in an instant.
