The relationship between father and son is not a blood inheritance, but more of a comparison of hearts.
...
Carrying thirst and hunger. My heart is sad, but I don’t know how sad I am.
My name is Liu Ruisheng, and I am the son of the Liu family in Lingyuan.
When I rushed back with Jiang Feng's edict and Jiang's retainers, the matter was a foregone conclusion.
Qinghe's house was already empty, and the outside of the attic where his father lived was stained with blood.
They all said, Father, he is dead! Not even a body was left.
I knelt in front of my father's house for a long time, feeling heartbroken.
Sorry, father, the horses in the Central Plains are too slow, and the child is coming back late!
...
When I was seven, I learned a secret from my drunken mother. Actually, my surname is Jiang, Jiang Ruisheng!
I am not Liu Xing's son.
Back then, Jiang Feng and his mother, Jiang Lan, were brothers and sisters who had been in love for a long time and had known each other like a dream. They fell in love and got married. Afterwards, I was born, a widow who might be destined to never have any status in her life. son.
Brother-sister incest is an act that violates the general ethics and is naturally not tolerated by the world. Especially a family with a family name as high as the Jiang family will not allow this to happen. In a rage, Jiang Cang, the elder of the Jiang family, my grandfather who I had never met, quickly cut through the mess and secretly eliminated all the insiders. Later, his mother Jiang Lanyuan married into Huaxing County and became his father's wife, and Jiang Feng succeeded to the throne of the clan leader.
In this way, my father became a scavenger.
I thought: 'Father' Liu Xing knew that I was not his son, but he kept it secret in his heart and showed no signs of it. It may be because of this that the Lingyuan Liu family was able to get the protection of the Jiang family and act unscrupulously in Huaxing County!
He accepted what ordinary people cannot accept, moved his heart and forbearance, and treated me like his own son. From that time on, 'father' was my great hero. And no one will ever know the secret I discovered when I was seven years old.
To this day, I still like to call Liu Xing my father and Jiang Feng my father.
...
In the middle of the night, four Jiang family retainers and I had a picnic on a hill outside the city. Looking at the lights in the city and the darkness inside Qinghe Residence, I lowered my head and drank, and all the past events flowed into my mind.
When I was young, my eldest brother was adventurous, bold and heroic. He would always take my third brother and me on trips to the mountains and explore new things. The third brother is handsome in appearance, talented in literature, and can write brilliantly. He is the little strategist of my eldest brother and me. And I am the one who is responsible for being scolded, because no matter how much trouble the three brothers cause, as long as I bow my head to my father and admit my mistakes, my father will always forgive me.
I'm so happy too!
Before reaching the crown, the eldest brother took over some family business, welcomed and sent people away, favors and past events, and was very busy. The third brother was entrusted by his father with the task of reviving the Liu family, and devoted himself to studying and pursuing great achievements. I was the only one who played with cats and dogs all day long and had nothing to do, but I ended up feeling free and happy.
Every time I lie on the top of Laotou Mountain, the breeze blows by, and I feel satisfied and comfortable, and I always think with peace of mind: In my life, the leisurely clouds and wild cranes are also an excellent artistic conception.
Later, the third brother went back from Chang'an and had a long talk with his father all night.
According to Liu Bu's report to me: That night, the third brother persuaded his father to disband his private soldiers, return his private lands, concentrate on learning, and set an example for the world. His father was furious and wanted to kill his third brother, but he did not take action because of his blood relationship.
From that day on, the third brother never returned to Qinghe Residence. From then on, he lived in seclusion at Zigui School and cut off all contact with the Liu family.
And only today do I know clearly that my father at that time was not unable to kill his third brother, but that he was unable to do so.
My Liu family has been weak and poor since modern times. Twelve years ago, my father chose his eldest brother to support the second prince and his party when the second son was fighting for the throne. As a result, the second prince and his party were completely destroyed in the Gyeonggi War. Fortunately, my father relied on the big tree of the Quzhou Jiang family and was able to Preserve the family and survive the disaster.
Later, in order to save the embarrassing situation of no one in the court, my father immediately asked me to take the position of my eldest brother. This move won greater and more support from the Jiang family.
I remember that day, my eldest brother and I knelt in front of my father, looking at each other but saying nothing. After a long time, my eldest brother smiled boldly, strode away, and never asked about family affairs.
The brothers broke up on that day.
Later, the eldest sister-in-law Yang Guan married into the Liu family and became the eldest brother's virtuous wife and little Zhang Liang.
I don’t know whether it was my sister-in-law who instigated me or my brother’s sexual transformation. He started to set up his own business and secretly used various methods against me to win over Qingyin Pavilion, Lingyuan Escort Bureau, and the fire in Zhangjiacun. In fact, I knew everything about it, but I let it go. Ignore it. Since eldest brother likes it, I will return all this to eldest brother!
After all, this is my home. If I don’t have my family, what’s the point of having a home?
You all know what happened next!
I ordered people to open the floodgates. I never wanted to compete with my eldest brother for the position of head of the family. The original construction of the canal was just my mother's wishful thinking. Letting go of the floodgates showed my incompetence and allowed my eldest brother to gain a firm foothold. , I can continue to live my peaceful life by taking the position of head of the family again.
For the sake of this family, I am willing to be that stepping stone. Even if it costs several lives and brings a lifetime of infamy, I will have no regrets.
However, I don’t know why things suddenly turned out like this. After Dongfang Chunsheng came to Lingyuan, everything that happened to the Liu family seemed to be a trap designed by someone. One after another, I was trapped in Lingyuan. Liu was pushed into the abyss.
...
In the loneliness of the night, I stood up and looked at the big canal in the distance. The moon was whirling. Deep in the night, I thought about it carefully and couldn't help but feel sad. My father is a good father, my eldest brother is a good brother, and my third brother is a good third brother. Only I am unkind, filial and unjust. It's me, it's me who ruined the Liu family!
I covered my mouth, crying bitterly but not daring to make a sound. I knelt down to Qingheju and kowtowed hard several times.
When I looked up, my eyes turned blood red, my eyebrows were filled with sadness, and my heart was full of hatred.
In my place, we don’t talk about the principles of Spring and Autumn Period, only the principles of father and son.
Father, eldest brother, and mother have been moved to a safe area by me. I must avenge this revenge on you!
I want my good third brother to taste a hundred times more painful than this.
I want him to die of madness!
...
Three days later, a yellow scroll was quietly delivered to Zigui Academy by Jiang's retainers and was sealed at the door.
"On the tenth day of October, I met my brother at Liu's former residence." ——Liu Ruisheng
I believe that my good third brother will definitely come as scheduled.
While waiting for my third brother to arrive, I fell into deep thought again.
The Lord of Jiang City in Quzhou, who has no sons, seems to care about my life and death. Eight retainers of the Jiang family came with me, four in the Disarming Realm, four in the Falling Horse Realm, and one secretly accompanying Broken Horseman. The warriors in the city are full of cards. In comparison, the Lingyuan Liu family, who lives in a corner, is like a drop in the ocean, and is not worth mentioning in front of the Jiang family.
Under my arrangement, these nine people sneaked into Lingyuan City step by step. I want to give my third brother a big surprise.
On the tenth day of the lunar month, in Qinghe's former residence, the bloodstains had been washed away by the heavy rain a few days ago. The empty courtyard had fallen autumn leaves, valuable objects had been swept away, and the stream no longer flowed, looking desolate.
I am independent in the attic, and all my grudges and unrequited feelings are drawn in this small door. When he visited the ancient hill in Ruoxu, the bright moon still passed over the old building, and when he saw Qingheju still well placed here, the thought of reviving the Liu family began to sprout in my heart. But, who should be the head of the Liu family?
After thinking about it, I laughed at myself slightly, if my family is the only one left, can it still be considered a family?
The sky is pale, and old friends come from afar, walking up and down with me, looking at each other without saying a word.
I had no expression on my face and nodded slightly, "Third brother. Here we come!"
The third brother was a little more energetic than before. He was wearing linen mourning clothes and a white hat on his head. He was clean. When he saw me, he said seriously, "Aren't you afraid that I will take you back? Second brother."
Seeing that the third brother was only showing his condolences and not feeling sad or remorseful for his father's death, I was furious, but I forced myself to speak, "Haha, if the third brother wanted to arrest me and take me back to commit suicide, how could he come alone? Besides, Third brother is extremely smart and knows that since I dare to come, I must have a perfect plan in mind."
"Haha, Lingyuan City at this time is like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den for the second brother. The second brother actually dares to enter such a dangerous place. I admire the third brother very much. It is said in the market that you, second brother, are not worthy of your responsibilities. In my opinion, second brother Brother is a model of great wisdom and foolishness."
The third brother, regardless of the coldness on the ground, sat down casually and smiled at me, "Second brother, what do you want from me during this trip? Are you trying to kill me to vent your anger?"
I smiled contemptuously, with obvious mockery, "Third brother is wrong. Second brother, I can't do anything about this fratricide. Unlike third brother, who is smart and capable, and dares to kill relatives for justice."
The third brother didn't pay attention to the sarcasm in my words and went straight to the point. He looked at me and asked, "Why is that?"
I slowly walked down to the attic, sat across from my third brother, and said in a deep voice, "I came here today and asked you three questions before leaving!"
"Although I already know why I'm asking, I still want to hear what my second brother has to say."
The third brother is indeed extremely smart, but it is a pity that he is too careless about his job and all his good brain is reserved for food.
I rubbed my temples and said, "First question, our Lingyuan Liu family ended up in such a mess, but it was the third brother who personally planned it? The third brother had already planned everything when Dongfang Chun was born a year ago, right?" "
The third brother said calmly, "Yes."
I suppressed my anger and continued to ask, "Second question, is the eldest brother's bedfellow Feng Yang Guan, but the third brother is a good chess player?"
The third brother replied calmly, "Yes."
I asked again, "The third question is, why do you do this?"
The third brother stared at me and said word by word, "Please protect the justice of our family and country!"
"Fart! You bastard."
I finally couldn't control my anger, so I stepped forward and knocked the third brother over with a punch, and suddenly punched the third brother's face. After several punches, the unfilial son's nose and mouth were bleeding, and I was willing to stop.
During this process, the third brother never said a word or fought back.
The more he behaved like this, the angrier I became. I grabbed my third brother's collar and said angrily, "The property of a wise ruler who governs the people will be enough to serve his parents, and he will be enough to feed his wife. He will be happy and full for the rest of his life. This has been true since ancient times. If Your family is gone, you Liu Quansheng still want to be a righteous person? You still want to be a king?"
"The family does not keep its own rights, is greedy and deceitful, the country is unable to manage the family, and the royal power has no authority. The country is not a country, and the family is not a family. As a human being, as a great citizen, I naturally have to take care of it." The third brother broke away from me easily, stood up, patted the dust on his body, and said warmly, "Second brother, please listen to my advice, don't go against the trend, don't be tempted to revive the family, live with peace of mind, and grow old in peace, this is what my father said to me. That’s your greatest hope.”
The third brother paused for a moment, with a hint of warmth in his eyes, and said softly, "So, we are still brothers!"
I hesitated for a moment, but my eyes immediately became firm, "Hey, Liu Quansheng, who is your brother? Although I won't kill you, I will still do what needs to be done! I won't kill anyone who needs to be killed." I will stay. I will let the people who destroyed my Liu family pay their blood debt with their lives."
At this point, there was no need to continue the conversation. The third brother turned around and left. After walking a few steps, the wind blew up and the white hair on his head blew away. He turned around and pinched it with two fingers, feeling indescribably free and unrestrained. .
The third brother glanced at me, sighed slightly, and said, "Second brother, do you understand me?"
I said decisively, "I don't understand!"
This time, he really left.
I am the only one left in Qingheju again. I feel like crying but I don’t have any tears left. I am probably the only one left in the Liu family.
The autumn wind is blowing!
No, the wind never stopped.
...
In fact, the reason why I asked my third brother to come here to talk is not just a simple chat, but has a deeper meaning.
Zigui Academy is located in the north of Lingyuan City, and Qingheju is located in the south of Lingyuan City. The two places are very far apart. It takes at least half an hour to go back and forth, and I can use this half hour to make a big fuss.
Use me as bait to lure the tiger out of the mountain and twist its nest. With the little ink in my chest, this is all I can think of.
After my third brother left, I changed my makeup, wrapped my face in a scarf, and walked towards Zigui Academy. The common people and officials on the way were all in high spirits, and the Qingyin Pavilion was as lively as ever. I became angry again. Isn't there anyone who mourned the loss of my Liu family?
These despicable, ungrateful ants all deserve to die. Sooner or later, I will march across Lingyuan City and kill all these ignorant bandits.
As I neared the school, I saw a crowd of people surrounding the main entrance of the school. My eyes showed an almost perverted blazing light, and I immediately followed the crowd and squeezed into the middle row.
At the entrance of the school, there was a corpse lying in front of the steps, with white hair all over his head, wrinkles all over his forehead, a sky-high nose, and deep sockets. I will never forget this person until I die. He was born in Dongfang Chunsheng and is a famous speaker in the world. It was Dongfang Chunsheng who incited the entire Huaxing County to become enemies of my Liu family!
Ha ha! Hahaha! Hahahahaha!
I kept my eyes open and carefully examined him, and saw that the old man's whole body was clean and unharmed, except for a red hole on his chest, where I ordered someone to take away his heart.
Beside the body, my third brother, Dongfang Yu, and my nephew Liu Yi burst into tears. My nephew, holding the three copper coins that Mr. Dongfang carried with him, fainted from crying. The onlookers were also extremely sad and angry, and everyone Indignant.
Only I, only my heart jumped for joy. Looking at Liu Quansheng's grief-stricken appearance, a kind of pleasure of revenge filled my heart.
After repeatedly confirming that Dongfang Chunsheng was truly dead, I quietly strode away. When I passed by the arriving county soldiers, I shed two lines of blood and tears.
Father, the great revenge has been taken! Tonight, I will use my heart to drink wine!
At night, when the lanterns first came on, I sat on the top of Laotou Mountain, facing the biting cold wind, looking at the lights of thousands of houses in Lingyuan City, and a drop of tear couldn't help but flow down my cheek.
The Cangshan Mountain is so vast that its edges cannot be seen.
Tears flow down a thousand lines, but there is no way back.
After drinking the bowl of blood wine brewed with Dongfang Chunsheng's heart, I took Jiang's retainers and Liu Bu, the housekeeper I rescued, on my way home.
Taihao City, here I come.
Although that place is not my home, only by going there can I rely on the strong strength of the Jiang family to revive the Liu family. I believe that one day, I will let the Liu family's emblem spread across Huaxing County again, and those who betrayed Those who instigate, instigate, and plot will pay a price a hundred times a thousand times to satisfy the hatred in my heart.
Once this oath is taken, it will never stop until death.
Before leaving, tears fell from my cheeks, and I stopped walking for a long time.
From now on, the wind and dust are quiet, the spring mountains are like black grass, and the grass is like smoke!
