[ 3: brother Chu, how’s the war going up north? ]
[ 4. The war was difficult, but it was still good. There were wins and losses on both sides. [ I’m looking for you to ask you something on behalf of Erlang. ]
Ten seconds later, the second message came:[ 4: we met a chief commander of Yongzhou Xi County called Zhao Panyi. He claimed to be Good Brothers with the second uncle of the Xu family during the Shanhai Pass battle. ]
he started cursing Xu Erlang whenever he saw him. He called second uncle Xu an ungrateful person. The reason was that Zhao Panyi, second uncle Xu, and a man named Zhou Biao were good Brothers in the same team. They fought back to back on the battlefield.
later, Zhou Biao took a knife for second uncle Xu and died on the battlefield.
Second uncle Xu vowed to treat his family well, but second uncle Xu broke his promise and never visited Zhou Biao’s family for twenty years. [ I don’t believe that such a thing happened, so I sent you a letter to ask second uncle Xu. ] Xu Qi ‘an wrote a reply with trembling hands.[ wait! ]
After putting away the fragment of the Book of the Netherworld, he didn’t go to find his second uncle immediately. Instead, he poured himself a glass of water and drank it slowly. After drinking the water, his hands stopped trembling.
“Squeak ..
Xu Qi ‘an opened the door and walked to the East Room expressionlessly. He knocked on the door, which was lit by candlelight.
Second uncle Xu was dressed in casual clothes. He walked over to open the door and said with a smile, ‘”‘Ningyan, what’s the matter?”
Xu Qi ‘an opened her mouth and closed it again. After a few seconds of thinking, she asked softly, “”Second uncle, do you know Zhao Panyi?”
Second uncle Xu was obviously shocked. His Tiger-like eyes widened slightly and he said in astonishment, “”How do you know the brother I made in the Shanhai Pass battle? let me tell you, he is my brother who I have been through life and death with.”
“Why didn’t you contact me after that?” Xu Qi ‘an nodded.
Second uncle Xu shook his head and laughed. you don’t understand. In the military, we are in different places and have different responsibilities. As time passes, it will fade.
Xu Qi ‘an nodded and asked,”then you must know Zhou Biao?”
Second uncle Xu scrutinized his nephew and furrowed his brows. what’s wrong with you today? how do you know about Zhao Panyi and Zhou Biao? ‘
Xu Qi ‘an shook his head. second uncle, answer me first. Did Zhou Biao die in battle? ‘
“Yeah, it’s a pity for a brother.”
“How did he die?” that year, we were sent to stop the corpse soldiers of the witchcraft cult. Zhou
Biao died in that battle. Second uncle Xu sighed.
“I’m not blocking the blade for you?”
“What nonsense are you saying? the one who blocked the knife for me was your father.”
A gust of autumn wind blew. Under the veranda, the lanterns swayed slightly. The candlelight flickered, illuminating Xu Qi ‘an’s face.
I understand. Thank you, second uncle …
Xu Qi ‘an said bitterly after a long time. Then, under second uncle Xu’s confused gaze, he slowly turned around and left.
Second uncle Xu watched his nephew’s back as he left. When he returned to the house, his aunt, who was wearing a white dress, was sitting on the bed. Her long legs were bent as she read a comic book about folklore.
Comic books were specially developed for children and illiterate people like his aunt.
The beautiful and plump Xuanji didn’t even raise her head as she focused on the comic book and said, “”Why did ningyan look for you? I heard you were talking about some brothers.”
Second uncle Xu frowned and said in confusion, ”
“Strange, he asked two of my brothers who went through life and death with me during the Shanhai Pass battle. However, one had died in battle, and the other was far away in Yongzhou. He shouldn’t have known her.
he even asked me if Zhou Biao took the knife for me. Am I that weak on the battlefield? this one took the knife for me, that one took the knife for me.
His aunt raised her head and examined him with her dark and lively eyes. She frowned and said, “”Wait, who’s that?” you don’t know Zhou Biao. He’s my brother when I was in the Army.
your family, you seemed to have mentioned this person. You said that you were able to survive because of him. I remember that it was ningyan’s mother who read that letter to me. ‘
Unfortunately, the letter from twenty years ago was long gone.
Second uncle Xu’s face suddenly froze. He looked at his wife in disbelief, as if he was looking at a lunatic.
[ 3: tell Erlang that there is indeed such a person. It was second uncle who let him down. ]
After sending out the letter, Xu Qi ‘an gently slammed the fragment of the book of the nether world on the table and said softly, “”Go out for a while. I want to be alone.”
Not far away, Zhong Li, who was sitting on a small couch, looked at him carefully. She dragged her embroidered shoes and left quietly.
The door of the room closed, and Xu Qian sat at the table for a long time without moving, like a statue.
In the far north, Chu Yuanqian was silent for a moment after reading the letter. She turned to look at Xu Xinyi, who was beside her.
Seeing her expression, Xu xinnian’s heart sank. Sure enough, he heard Chu
Yuanyou say, ‘”‘Ningyan said that Zhao Panyi is telling the truth.”
Xu niannian’s expression was extremely ugly. He was silent for a while, then he pulled out his knife and walked toward Zhao Panyi.
Zhao Panyi’s eyes widened as he stared at Xu niannian. He made a muffled sound.
His subordinates acted as if they were facing a great enemy and cursed in anger.
The soldiers eating the meat soup also looked over.
Xu niannian twisted his wrist and Cut the Rope with a knife. He threw the knife aside and bowed deeply.”lt’s my father who doesn’t want to be a son. A son pays his father’s debts. I’ll let you do whatever you want.”
Zhao Panyi slowly stood up. He was both annoyed and confused. He could not understand why this kid’s attitude had changed so much.
“I’m not the one that Xu Pingzhi is sorry about,” he said with a sneer.”Why are you putting on an act?”
Zhao Panyi spat at Xu Xinian’s feet. He bent down to pick up his knife, untied his subordinates, and prepared to leave with them.
‘Wait!”
brother! Xu xinnian shouted. we’re all injured and hungry. Let’s stay and have a bowl of meat soup before we leave.
Seeing that Zhao Panyi did not appreciate it, he immediately said, “The matter between you and my father is a private matter and has nothing to do with our brothers. You can’t disregard the lives of my soldiers for your own personal vendetta.”
Xu niannian had successfully convinced Zhao Panyi. He was reluctant to stay and sat around the bonfire, sharing the soft and fragrant meat soup with his fellow comrades. A satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Xu niannian returned to Chu Yuanyang’s side and stared at the small Jade Mirror in his hand. He clicked his tongue in wonder.”You used this to contact my big brother?”
Chu Yuan snorted and smiled freely. of course, The Earth Book can be sent from thousands of miles away …
His smile suddenly froze, and he turned his neck inch by inch, looking at Xu niannian in a daze.
“What’s wrong?” Xu niannian was confused.
“You, don’t know, the fragment of The Earth Book?” Chu Yuanxi opened her mouth and spat out word by word.
“What is a fragment of the Book of the Earth?” Xu xinnian was still confused.
Shua shua shua … Chu Yuan was so shocked that he took a few steps back. His voice was a little sharp. “You’re not number three?”
“What’s number three?”
Pata … The fragment of the Book of the Netherworld slipped out of Chu Yuanxi’s hand and fell to the ground.
It was late at night. Xu Qi ‘an got up from the desk and opened the door. He looked around and saw Zhong Li hugging her knees, leaning against the window and sleeping.
He sighed, bent over, crossed his arms over her legs, and picked her up. The touch of his arms was round and full.
Back in the room, he placed Zhong Li on the small couch and covered her with a thin blanket. It was autumn, if he didn’t cover her with a blanket, she would definitely catch a cold the next morning with her bad luck.
“Phew …”
After blowing out the candle, Xu Qi ‘an also shrank into the quilt and fell asleep.
When he was drowsy, his last thought was, “I seem to have overlooked something very important!
