Chapter 22 The events of the year
A huge turmoil sweeping through Liangzhou was stifled halfway before it could stir up wind and rain.

Brother Chen Ansheng went to the study with King Liang.

After sitting quietly for a while, messengers continued to report.

The content of the report is nothing more than which army was suppressed and which general was beheaded.

For these, Chen Dao didn't seem to have much interest. He set his eyes on Chen Xinyue, smiled slightly, and the corners of his eyes were covered with wrinkles, "How are you doing in Jiangnan?"

"Okay, misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, the scenery is beautiful, don't mention it."

Chen Xinyue replied with a smile.

King Liang nodded, and said again: "I haven't been back for two years, so you saw such a big joke as soon as you came back."

"Don't say it, it's thanks to you for letting me come back, otherwise, An Sheng would not be able to return to Liangzhou, An Sheng, what do you think?"

"Yes, my younger brother will remember the life-saving grace of the elder sister, and I will never forget it. In the future, I will go to the mountain of swords and the sea of ​​fire for the elder sister. I will do whatever I want, okay?"

Chen Ansheng raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Chen Xinyue reached out and rubbed his head without any scruples, and said, "This is my real brother, it's not in vain that my sister is so infatuated with you..."

Chen Ansheng rolled his eyes, while Chen Dao laughed.

But after laughing, his face became serious again. He looked at Chen Ansheng and said, "There are a total of one hundred and two people escorting you to the capital. Tell me, who do you think are the insiders?"

Chen Ansheng was silent for a while, and then said softly: "I know what to do, I will go find her myself later."

"En." Liang Wang nodded, and said again: "Princess Qingling, what do you think?"

"It depends on what you think."

Chen Ansheng did not answer the question.

Liang Wang frowned, did not speak, picked up the porcelain cup beside him, and silently sipped tea.

Seeing him like this, Chen Ansheng couldn't help but said anxiously: "It's not once or twice that the royal family has tripped us up, Chen Dao, turn it around!"

A rebellious statement just jumped out of his mouth.

Chen Xinyue frowned slightly, but Liang Wang didn't say a word.

Chen Ansheng said: "I know that the late emperor once saved your life, but you helped him conquer the country. If the kindness of a drop of water gushed out to repay you, you would have repaid it long ago. Now that the late emperor has gone, his son has treated Beiliang like this. , do we really have to endure it?"

"Chen Dao, tell the truth, have you ever thought about rebelling?"

he questioned.

King Liang raised his head and looked directly at him, "No."

"Nonsense!" Chen Ansheng directly retorted, "Since there is no such thing, why are you raising dragons in Guanchao Lake?!"

The temperature in the room seemed to drop suddenly, and the atmosphere became much more depressing.

Chen Xinyue looked at the father and son who were fighting each other, not knowing how to speak.

King Liang finally spoke after being silent for a long time.

"That flood dragon was originally a water snake, but it was only after your mother enlightened it."

"I... my mother?"

Chen Ansheng couldn't help but tremble when he heard this.

He hasn't seen his mother since he was born, but in the dynasty, there are countless legends about his mother!

Everyone said that Princess Beiliang came from the sky!

"You've been running around for so many days, you should be tired, take a rest, if you have anything to say, I'll talk about it tomorrow."

Liang Wang seemed to be in a gloomy mood, after saying this, he hunched his back and walked away slowly.

In the study, only Chen Ansheng and Chen Xinyue were left.

The candlelight flickered, illuminating the silhouettes of the siblings extremely slender.

The two sat quietly for a long time before Chen Xinyue put away her melancholy thoughts and said with a smile, "I haven't slept with you for a long time. Tonight?"

"It's so big, isn't it?"

Chen Ansheng frowned slightly.

Seeing this, Chen Xinyue stepped forward and grabbed his ear, "Okay, you, have you seen more beauties over the years, have high eyesight, and despise your sister?"

Chen Ansheng, whose ears were being pulled, quickly flattered and begged for mercy, "No, how dare you, eldest sister, you are the most beautiful girl in the world, and no woman can compare to you."

"Then you still not sleeping with me?"

"This... I am an adult."

"Being your uncle, what's so great about being an adult? Is there something on you that I haven't seen?"

"But... outsiders will talk nonsense."

"Just talk nonsense, anyway, you are notorious, you still care about this?"

"..."

Chen Ansheng still didn't bother the eldest sister, and obediently went to her yard like a little sheep in the mouth of a big bad wolf.

The house had been cleaned two days ago, and everything inside remained the same as before she married Jiangnan, so the two of them didn't feel any awkwardness.

When washing their feet, they shared a wooden basin as they did when they were children, and sprinkled some flower petals in the basin, and the four feet stepped on each other in it.

After some frolic, the two went to bed.

When he was young, although the overall situation of the Tianhuo Dynasty was settled, there were still many evils left, which required the King of Beiliang to suppress them.

And they stayed in Luoping City as hostages.

During that year, regardless of vassal kings or generals, whoever led troops to the expedition had their family members imprisoned to prevent them from carrying military power or rebelling or surrendering to the enemy.

Therefore, the two siblings lived together in Luoping City for a long time.

Until they grow up, the siblings often live together. Outsiders often say that their family style is not good, it is because they don't understand the family relationship between siblings.

Of course, it is also true that the ignorant Chen Ansheng secretly put his hand on Chen Xinyue's chest in the middle of the night, but that's all.

late at night.

Chen Ansheng, who was not very sleepy, suddenly said in the dark, "Sister, I want to ask you something, is it okay?"

"Well, tell me." Chen Xinyue, who was not asleep like him, replied lazily.

He said: "My mother, why did you leave? Why did the second sister, whom I have never met, die?"

Two questions, as soon as Hajime said it, the atmosphere in the room dropped to freezing point.

Chen Ansheng could clearly feel that Chen Xinyue's body trembled.

He took a deep breath and begged: "Sister, I have grown up, I really want to know these things, I asked Chen Dao many times, but he didn't say anything, I know you know, just tell me , is it done?"

Quiet.

Sudden silence.

Chen Xinyue pursed her lips. In the darkness, her eyes suddenly became moist, but Chen Ansheng didn't notice.

He waited patiently, but there was still silence.

He could only sigh in the end, and retracted his head into the quilt in boredom.

However, at this moment, Chen Xinyue finally spoke.

"Do you know why you can't practice?"

Chen Ansheng frowned, waiting for his next words.

Chen Xinyue said: "Because my mother was afraid that you would be able to cultivate and that you would be able to find her, so she cast a spell on you."

"Spells? Why? Why doesn't she want me to go find her?" Chen Ansheng was even more puzzled.

Chen Xinyue said: "Because she knows that once you find her, you will definitely die!"

"She was taken away by her kindred, and those people all came from the world after the ascension."

"Second sister also died at the hands of those people. They still want to kill me, you, and my father. In order to protect us, mother can only leave with them. This is the truth you want."

After Chen Xinyue finished speaking, her face was already full of tears.

Chen Ansheng, who was huddled under the quilt, had veins criss-crossed in his clenched fists.
