The first master of the arena

Chapter 8
A spring after 19 years.It's another year of warm spring, but at this time it's already at a loss.General Chen stood under a pear tree in the courtyard. Now he is an old man with gray temples and wrinkled face.He was fascinated to look at the beautiful flowers all over the tree, and suddenly felt a little lost and sighed in his heart.He really didn't expect that after 30 years of military career and countless meritorious service, he ended up in the sad and embarrassing end of being deposed.

"Stupid! How stupid!"

He thought of the prince's behavior ten years ago and couldn't help talking to himself.It was the prince who made him deposed.He didn't expect the prince to really do that.He thought that the prince would not be that stupid, but the prince is really that stupid.

Ten years ago, the prince, who was nearly forty, couldn't wait for his father, who looked healthy, to pass away and justifiably succeed to the throne.Maybe he was going crazy with impatience for waiting too long.He wanted too much to ascend to the throne early to enjoy the supreme power, so he secretly conspired with some people to usurp the throne.He secretly contacted General Chen, who held all the soldiers in his hand, to help him, but General Chen refused him, and advised him not to do such a disgraceful thing.Seeing that he refused to join forces, the prince pretended that he would not do it, but he hated General Chen in his heart.

The prince secretly contacted several other generals.After all, it is difficult to contain a desire stronger than fire in the paper, and the prince's conspiracy to usurp the throne has been revealed.As a result, the emperor was furious and demoted the prince to a commoner and sent him to a very remote place.Those who were involved in usurping the throne were all copied and executed.

Originally, General Chen did not participate, but several officials in the court who had been at odds with General Chen took the opportunity to slander General Chen as a plotter, and cited evidence that General Chen had a close relationship with the prince.The emperor credulously believed those slanderous words, and wanted to copy General Chen all over his family.Later, most officials in the court interceded for General Chen, and General Chen had indeed made many contributions to the court over the years. In the end, the emperor waived the net and did not kill General Chen but deposed him.

After being dismissed, General Chen returned to his hometown with a resentful family.After returning to his hometown, General Chen made a living as a businessman. Over the years, his business has been booming and he has become a rich man in the local area.That is, the emperor passed away four months after that incident, and the second prince succeeded to the throne.

"The court is too dangerous, it's better for the people!" Thinking about the past, General Chen was filled with emotion.

A man in his 50s walked into the yard, and when he saw General Chen, his heart felt extremely warm.That person is Yue Tianyang.After General Chen was deposed, he also resigned and came here with General Chen.When General Chen asked him why he did this, he said: "My life was saved by my elder brother. I have no other relatives in this world. My elder brother is my only relative. I can't do without him, just like a fish. It’s like being inseparable from water.” At that time, General Chen was moved to tears.He felt that he would have no regrets if he could make friends like Yue Tianyang.

Yue Tianyang has been by his side all these years.General Chen entrusted Yue Tian to take care of everything. If there was no Yue Tian, ​​General Chen felt that he would be in a difficult situation and everything would be difficult.

Yue Tianyang walked up to General Chen and said, "Qian'er and Xiaolong are arguing to go for an outing in the back mountain, brother, why don't you go out to relax too?"

General Chen said: "I don't have the interest of children. I would rather stay at home and read books. Why don't you go with them?"

Yue Tianyang said: "Since the eldest brother is not going, I will stay at home with the eldest brother. Besides, I don't have that interest now."

General Chen said: "It seems that we are really getting old."

Yue Tianyang said, "I'm getting old."

"Dad...Dad..." Following the shouts, a young couple ran into the yard.

The woman was around 20 years old and had an unusually beautiful appearance.The seventeen-eight man is very strong.They are a pair of sons and daughters of General Chen, Xiaolong and Qianer.

Qian'er went up and took General Chen's arm and said softly, "Father, come with us for an outing."

General Chen said: "You guys better go, this old bone of Dad can't bear that crime."

Xiaolong asked Yue Tianyang: "Uncle Yue, where is my sister Xiao Yu?"

Without waiting for Yue Tianyang to answer, Qian'er turned to her brother and said, "Don't you know where your future daughter-in-law is?"

Xiaolong scratched his head embarrassingly and said, "She didn't tell me either."

General Chen and Yue Tianyang laughed.

Yue Tianyang said to Xiaolong: "Xiao Yu accompanied her mother to her aunt's house early yesterday morning. It will take four or five days. She doesn't know that you are going to go for an outing today, otherwise she won't leave. She is just like you. Love to be lively."

Xiaolong said to Qianer disappointedly: "Sister, we'd better wait for Miss Xiaoyu to come back and go together."

Qian'er pretended to be displeased and teased her younger brother: "No, today you said you wanted to accompany me, so why don't you say anything? Could it be that my real sister is not as important as your little sister Yu?"

Xiaolong was not happy.

"Then you go by yourself, I won't accompany you."

Qian'er walked up to her younger brother, stretched out her finger and poked his head and said with a smile: "My silly brother, you are so stupid, you go with me today, and when your sister Yu comes back, you can go out with her alone, right? Is it better?"

"Why didn't I think of that."

"Because you only have your little sister Yu in your heart, so you become a fool."

At this moment a servant entered the yard.

"Miss and master, the horses, carts and other things are all ready, when shall we leave?"

Xiaolong said, "Let's go right away."

General Chen instructed: "Be careful on the road."

Yue Tianyang said: "Brother, don't worry, I'll let Lao Liu take someone with them, everything will be fine."

Xiaolong patted his chest and said confidently: "Father, don't worry, Uncle Yue has taught me so much kung fu, I can stand alone in whatever happens."

Qian'er laughed and said, "It's not a skill to block one side, it's a real skill to be able to block all sides."

"You two know how to tease your mouth every day." General Chen smiled warmly as he looked at his pair of outstanding sons and daughters.

After Xiaolong and Qian'er left, Yue Tianyang said to General Chen: "Brother, Xiaolong likes to practice martial arts very much, and his aptitude is also very good. He is a material for practicing martial arts. Although I have taught him all martial arts, he is really the best in the world." Compared to a master, his kung fu is nothing at all, I really hope that a real master can teach him martial arts. Then Xiaolong will definitely have great prospects in the future."

Yue Tianyang looked at General Chen, his gaze was very special.General Chen heard Yue Tianyang's implication.

He sighed and said, "So what if you become a master? So what if you become the number one master in the Jianghu? Wasn't He Xinghan the number one master in the Jianghu back then, but what happened to him? And me, what was it like back then?" Prestige, but what about now? I don't want Xiaolong to have any great achievements in the future. I just hope that his life will be safe and sound. It's best for him to be safe and sound. Xiaolong's current kung fu can only improve his health. I just hope He is an ordinary person. It is better to be an ordinary person!"

After hearing this, Yue Tianyang was silent for a moment and said with some emotion: "Brother, you are right, let our children be ordinary people. Indeed, ordinary people are happier than extraordinary people."

General Chen said: "Tianyang, Xiaolong and Xiaoyu have been childhood sweethearts since they were young, and they love each other so much. I think we should arrange the marriage of these two children this winter. I am now dreaming of your sister-in-law. They all want to hug their grandchildren."

Yue Tianyang said with a smile: "Okay, I've fallen in love with Xiaolong, the son-in-law. Besides, she and I both dream of having grandchildren."

General Chen said happily: "Our brothers have become in-laws again. It's really a happy marriage. I don't think there is a more happy marriage than this in the world."

Yue Tianyang said with a bit of regret: "It's a pity that I only have one daughter and no son. If I have a son and marry Qian'er, it will be more complete."

General Chen said: "Whoever said you have no son, Xiaolong is your son. If you are still not satisfied, brother, then ask Xiaolong to change his surname to Yue. What do you think brother?"

Yue Tianyang smiled and said: "I am very satisfied that Xiaolong can become my son-in-law. How can I call him Yi. By the way, big brother, Qian'er is not too young, we should give her someone else."

General Chen said with a wry smile: "Why don't I want to find her a suitable family to settle her down sooner, but you also know that Qian'er has too high a heart, she just wants to marry an extraordinary and extraordinary person. This person has to bring her wealth, power, status, and everything she wants. Alas, this child is really... She really worries me, she doesn't know that sometimes wealth, power, and status bring people It's happiness, it's disaster!"

Yue Tianyang said: "I can't blame Qian'er for this. After all, she is too young and hasn't experienced too many things. After she has experienced a lot, she will naturally understand what is the most important thing in a person's life."

General Chen said worriedly: "I hope she will really understand in the future."

Yue Tianyang said: "I think she will understand."

……

Xiaolong was riding a horse, and Qian'er was walking slowly on the mountain road in a carriage, followed by six or seven servants.They can have a good day of fun today, and each of them is very happy.

In the middle of the line, more than a dozen horses rushed forward, and immediately there were more than a dozen big men, with three gray-clothed men at the head.When passing by Xiaolong and the others, one of the ugly gray-clothed men spat a cloud of thick phlegm at Xiaolong for no reason.Xiaolong didn't pay attention, the ball of thick phlegm was falling on his face.The big man on the horse laughed rudely and rudely after teasing.

Xiaolong was furious at being insulted like this for no reason, he reined in his horse and shouted: "Stop, you bastards!"

After hearing this, the men who had gone out turned around and came back.Lao Liu, the old servant who accompanied him, saw that this group of people carrying weapons was not a good person, so he was afraid of causing trouble and hurriedly said to Xiaolong: "Master, please don't cause trouble!"

Old Liu walked up to those people again and said with a smile on his face: "Masters, our young master is too young to wake up, please forgive me if I offend you. Sirs, please continue on the road."

The ugly man in gray scolded Old Liu: "It's nothing to do with you, you old bastard, get out of here!"

Then he asked Xiaolong: "Why did you tell the grandpas to stop?" His expression was extremely arrogant.

Xiaolong wiped off the thick phlegm on his face and asked sullenly, "Why do you spit on me?"

The man in gray said arrogantly: "Why? Because the uncle is happy, because the uncle wants to have fun, and because the uncle doesn't like you, it's always okay."

Xiaolong stared at him without fear and said: "I didn't offend you, but you are so rude, please apologize to me immediately!"

"Apologize to you?" The man looked at Xiaolong like a monster and said, "You kid really has the guts of a bear! Do you know who I am? How dare you ask me to give you an apology."

Xiaolong said: "No matter who you are, there should always be justice in everything."

The man laughed loudly, his ugly face even more humble.After laughing, he said to another gray-clothed man with a horse face: "Brother Feng, did you hear that? This little bastard actually asked me to make an apology to him, and even speak justice to me."

The horse-faced man shook his head and said, "It seems that this child is really tired of living."

Old Liu was shocked when he heard this, he quickly bowed and said, "Gentlemen, if my young master has offended you, the old man will apologize to you..."

"Old Liu," Xiaolong interrupted him and said without fear, "They are the ones who should make amends, why do you want to make amends like them. I don't believe that there is no justice in this world!"

The ugly man in gray said, "This little bastard's bones are quite hard."

The horse-faced man said: "The harder the bones, the earlier the death."

The ugly man in gray said, "He still wants justice from us."

The horse-faced man said: "No one can seek justice from the 'Autumn Wind Gang', and no one has ever dared. This child is the fourth person I have ever seen who dares to demand justice from us."

The ugly man in gray said, "Brother Feng, tell this little bastard what happened to those three people who asked us for justice before."

The horse-faced man pretended to be sorry and said, "They are all dead."

The ugly man in gray said to Xiaolong proudly, "You heard what he said, do you want me to make amends now?"

Qian'er in the car turned pale with shock when she heard what they said, she was afraid that her stubborn brother's insubordination would annoy the other party and cause trouble.In desperation, she made a fatal mistake. She raised the curtain of the car and poked her head out and said to Xiaolong, "Don't mess with them, Xiaolong, let's go."

When those people heard the sound, they all turned their eyes to Qian'er in the car.They were immediately attracted by Qian'er's alluring beauty, and their eyes were like greedy leeches nailed to Qian'er's face, and they didn't want to move away until Qian'er put down the car curtain in a panic, and they seemed to come back to their senses.
