Chapter 169:

When Xue Changfeng's coughing stopped, his eyes flickered, looked at Zhong Yi, who was still working hard, and then looked at Fu Yang. When he looked at Fu Yang, even though he was so weak, he still couldn't hide the affection in his eyes. He loved Fu Yang for twenty years, starting with a glance at Jinghong, until she disappeared, and then she suddenly returned to Xiangcheng to meet him again.
"Yang'er, Zhong Yi, you go out first ..." Xue Changfeng said.
Zhong Yi was still busy as if he hadn't heard it. He rummaged in the medicine chest for a while, trying to find out something that could hold him temporarily, but found nothing. Judging from his many years of experience in medical science, he has to admit that Xue Changfeng's inner foundation has long been empty, and he can still speak now, entirely in his breath.
Fu Yang reached out and patted his shoulder: "Let him talk to Ziqin."
Zhong Yi was stunned. He looked back at Xue Changfeng again. It was difficult to accept and had to accept it. He followed Fu Yang out.
The room was empty, leaving only Xue Ziqin standing beside Xue Changfeng's couch.
Fu Yang knew that the father and son had something to say and closed the door for them intimately.
Min Qiu was only a lieutenant general. It was always inappropriate to go in at this time. When Zhong Yi and Fu Yang came out, he quickly asked, "How is the general?"
Zhong Yi did not speak, nor did Fu Yang. The two stood under the front porch and looked at the sky.
Min Qiu almost understood it, and he couldn't talk any more, so he leaned on the thin door panel and had a complicated mood.
"Qin'er, the Xue family will depend on you in the future." Xue Changfeng said, "I have no children in my life, only you are such a son."
"Right Father ..."
"You listen to me." Xue Changfeng's face suddenly turned rosy, but Xue Ziqin knew very well that this might be the so-called back light.
Looking down at Xue Changfeng with his head down, he had a thousand words in his heart, but he didn't know where to start.
"I know you never regarded me as a father. When I picked you up on the outskirts of the city at the beginning, I knew that you shouldn't die, and you could become a big weapon ... Later, it proved that I hadn't read it wrong."
"I……"
"Should the grace of life be misreported?"
"when."
"Then I only want you to promise me one thing." Xue Changfeng said, suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Xue Ziqin's forearm. He exerted great force and wanted to put his fingers in his flesh, "You must, let Jin'er's children take the throne ..."
"..." Xue Ziqin knew that he was talking about the three princes. Hearing this sentence, he was like a sinner harboring misfortune. He was seen through, his pupils contracted slightly, and he couldn't say a word.
"promise me!"
"……it is good."
Hearing Xue Ziqin's answer, Xue Changfeng's hand suddenly let go, as if relieved, and then said: "I will not be a father at all, I don't know how to teach you, I only know to put you in the barracks, let you be like me, to Protecting the country is your duty ... Cough, you are fine, and I have not been disappointed. "
"I knew it was not your fault that year you killed the infantry battalion commander."
"do not talk……"
"I know that he was upset against you first, and I also know that you are cold-eyed in the barracks because you are my adopted son ..."
Xue Ziqin did not want to listen anymore.
It was at this time that Xue Changfeng mentioned what he least wanted to hear.
"Xue Ziqin, you must always remember," Xue Changfeng said, "Your surname is Xue."
"I promise you, I promise you to make the children of the Xue family emperor ..." Xue Ziqin said, "But I have never regarded you as a father, your life-saving grace. I have been back and forth for Xue Jiaan all these years. "He said, his throat tickled, and then said:" But in my heart, I never surnamed Xue. "
"You blame me for being bad for you."
"No," Xue Ziqin said, "General, you are just General."
"Yeah, I know ..." Xue Changfeng said, closing his eyes, and the voice became smaller. "That's fine, then I will give you the last command in the name of the general."
"Make sure that the blood of the Xue family ascends to the throne and protect the Xue family forever."
"Last general," Xue Ziqin choked back, kneeling on the knees on one side of the couch, bowing his head and bowing his head, saying one word after another, "lead the life."
After he finished speaking, he looked up again, and Xue Changfeng no longer heard a sound.
His eyes were astringent, and there seemed to be tears, but no tears fell.
Xue Ziqin entered the army barracks at the age of eight and was bullied until he was fourteen. These Xue Changfeng knew. Xue Changfeng never gave him a helping hand, not because Xue Changfeng didn't know, but because Xue Changfeng didn't want to control at all. In Xue Changfeng's view, men only rely on themselves to fight the world, but also rely on themselves to make others fear and then convince.
Are they considered fathers and sons? When he realized that Xue Changfeng would not bless him, the answer was obvious.
However, Xue Changfeng's indifference made the dross in the barracks look down on him and made it worse, until the infantry battalion commander imposed other insults on him that men could not bear-it was his first time to kill, or tortured. Very good start. So that no matter how many people he killed afterwards, there was no touch in his heart.
"Old man ..." Xue Ziqin whispered, "Although you and I are not father and son, but I am a member of the Xue family, this will not change."
"Rest in peace, General."
...
Xue Fu's richness and wealth in the past were covered by various white yarns and couplets.
Xue Ziqin knelt in front of the spirit, Fu Yang and Cen Liyun were beside him, and many ministers of the central government came to incense Xue Changfeng, crying with a false cry to express their sadness.
Both Cen Lishan and Cen Li came here recently, and heard that the concubine Jin Jin was heartbroken, almost crying and blinding her eyes. Xue Jin and Xue Changfeng are closely related. Now that Xue Changfeng is dead, she can't come out of the palace to burn incense, and can only be imprisoned in the palace of frost. Cen Liyu tied a white cloth between her foreheads, followed Cen Li behind her, and the two knelt in front of the spirit to incense.
Xue Ziqin knelt aside and looked up at him. Although his face was mournful, his eyes were indifferent, and there must be no sadness.
Whether it is Xue Changfeng or Xue Jin, he has been turned a blind eye to him. This moment made him cry with heartbreak, and Rao was impossible to cry for him.
It was Cen Lijin, Yi Hongxiang offered, tears in his eyes.
"Uncle ..." he said as if to himself.
The words behind were not spoken, but Xue Ziqin estimated that it should be something like "Be sure to bless me to inherit the Great Command".
Cen Lishan got up after finishing incense, and whispered to Xue Ziqin: "Cousin's mourning."
"Your Highness is compassionate." Xue Ziqin moved aside without trace.
The children of the royal family, nothing else, only acting, are born.
Cen Liyu was not displeased with his attitude. Instead, he said to Cen Liyun behind him: "The Queen's Sorrow."
Cen Liyun is a daughter's family, and can't stand the scene of life and death. Even though he doesn't have too much feelings with Xue Changfeng, he still feels sad. She took the silk and gently shed tears from the corners of her eyes and nodded to Cen Lixuan: "Thank you Huangdi."
Cen Lishan gave a little gift and turned to leave the hall.
Although he and Cen Lijin both went out of the palace with obedience, and expressed their grief on behalf of the palace, the Xuefu people are coming and going, too lively. Even if he has something to say with Xue Ziqin, it seems not the right time.
Xue Ziqin watched his back as he walked outside the gate with Yu Guang.
There was a lot of thought in his head, and there was an impulse for him to go to Cen Liyu to make things clear. Yes, make it clear, to make this strange feeling between the two of them clear, whether it is to be reconciled by emotions or to gather by profit.
"Yun'er." Xue Ziqin said suddenly.
She was startled, Xue Ziqin never called her name. I saw Xue Ziqin get up from the futon and said to her: "You greet me here."
"... Good." Cen Liyun nodded, and then Xue Ziqin walked out of the door.
Xue Ziqin quickly caught up, and Cen Lishan and his little walked in tandem. He went up to grab Cen Liyu's hand and hurriedly said, "I have something to tell you."
Cen Li 玊 came out with Xiao Liuzi-originally in Xue's House, he could have brought Jiang out, but Jiang had already gone to Anshangdian to wait, and then he brought Xiao Liuzi out.
Little Liuzi knew how the two of them were related, and was immediately frightened and quickly said: "General Xue, you ..."
Xue Ziqin was too lazy to talk nonsense to him, and pulled Cen Liyu to the backyard. Cen Liyu turned his head to make a silent gesture to Xiaoliuzi, and let Xue Ziqin drag him away.
Now the people are busy in the front hall, and even the personal soldiers brought by Xue Ziqin are all guarding the front yard and the general mansion with white cloth.
Xue Ziqin dragged him and walked straight into Min Qiu's room.
If he changed his usual way, he would naturally take Cen Liyu to his bedroom. But he still has a wife of generals. There are many women in the bedroom. He always feels a little uncomfortable.
Entering the house, Xue Ziqin closed the door, pressed Cen Liyu on the door, lowered his head and said, "But are you sincere to mourn?"
"Naturally ... not." Cen Lishan smiled.
Xue Ziqin looked at his face, his smile was pure and clean, and he saw no abnormalities, as if he was talking about insignificant things.
"Then why are you here."
"In order to see the general." Cen Liyu whispered, embracing Xue Ziqin's waist, "Don't the general want to see Yaner?"
"... Think." He said this frankly, and then kissed Cen Liyu eagerly.
The kiss was so fierce that when he let go of Cen Liyu's mouth, the other party was already breathless and his cheeks were full of emotions.
Xue Ziqin looked straight at him and said, "But are you really treating me?"
"of course."
He looked at those beautiful eyes, trying to find some flaws in it. But no, Cen Li 玊 's eyes are like a clear spring and can be seen to the end at a glance.
"Do you know what the uncle said?" Xue Ziqin said, "I promised that he would make the blood of the Xue family emperor."
"I am." Cen Lishan laughed more and more brightly.
Xue Ziqin still wanted to say something, but he looked at Cen Liyu's face and couldn't tell.
If it was said that Cen Liyu was a bright moon in his mind before, now, unconsciously, this bright moon has been covered by dark clouds for most of it.
"General, you promised to have a child." Cen Liyu said, raising his hand and extending a finger, gently drawing a circle on his chest.
"You are lying to me." Xue Ziqin grabbed his naughty hand and said in a dumb voice.
"I didn't lie to you." Cen Liyu raised his head to meet his eyes. "If you help me, I am yours."
"Is this true?"
"Isn't this true?"
"Aren't you afraid of such blatant ambitions that will make me regret it?"
Wen Yan, Cen Lishan's eyes were all smiles: "General, you want me, I will give you, I can't be more sincere."
Xue Ziqin was slightly stunned, and Cen Liyu clung closer to him, saying, "What is the general thinking?"
"I was thinking that our righteous father had just passed away and we were so out of place." Xue Ziqin said, let go of him, and walked to the table to sit down. "You go back to the palace first, I will come to the palace to find you when there is time."
"But the general repented?"
Xue Ziqin bowed his head and poured tea without even looking up at him: "I will not regret it. Your Highness, please come back. The forgiving father has just passed away, and the gifts are not enough."
Cen Liyu wanted to say something. He just opened his mouth. Before he could say a word, there was a knock on the door suddenly: "General, General, Princess called you over."
It ’s Min Qiu ’s voice.
Xue Ziqin stepped forward to open the door, nodded to him, and turned to salute Cen Liyu: "Your Highness please."
Cen Liyu gave him a meaningful look, after all, he left.
