Fight the Giants

  Mu Yan was stopped, turned around, with a calm face, and cupped her hands at Mu Sheng.

   "General Left."

   "..."

  Mu Sheng was about to say something, but was choked by his outspoken words, and swallowed back the words he was about to open his mouth.

  Mu Yan didn't mean to greet him: "If the general has nothing to do, I'm going to go back and watch the soldiers build the ship."

Well? Yes, I heard that many of the stewards and craftsmen who log in the forest are his people. "You also opened a lumber shop?"

  Mu Yan glanced at him lightly, "Yes. Did the general have any orders?"

  Why is it so strange? Even if they are not father and son, are they still uncles and nephews? Mu Sheng frowned.

   "The crusade against the rebels in Annan is of great importance and must not be ignored. In addition to being a soldier of the imperial court, you are also a soldier of the Xiping Marquis Mansion."

  The corner of Mu Yan's mouth curled up a hint of sarcasm, but he suppressed it again and did not respond.

   Seeing that he didn't speak, Mu Sheng was not angry, and asked again: "Do you want to come to my account to listen to orders?"

  Going to his account to listen to orders, of course, can better arrange him, reuse him, and have personal soldiers to protect him. If he makes meritorious deeds, he will also ask for credit for him, and no one will suppress his military merits.

  If he has made meritorious service, His Majesty will definitely look at the Xiping Hou Mansion highly, which will benefit both him and the Hou Mansion.

  Mu Sheng thought it was a good arrangement, but unexpectedly, Mu Yan rejected it: "Thank you General for your kindness. I have already served under the account of the General." He didn't want to say more, turned and walked away.

  Mu Sheng watched him walk away with complicated eyes. Sighed.

   Mu Ang came over, "Second brother, what are you looking at? Hey, is that Mu Yan?"

   Mu Sheng was defeated last time, and it was a shame. This time, all the elites of the Yunnan Army were brought here. Mu Ang, the third master of the Mu Mansion, also followed.

  Mu Sheng nodded, "That child is getting stranger to me day by day, and he doesn't even want to say a word." After speaking, he couldn't help sighing, and he didn't know why the father and son who were the first-born relatives were like strangers.

  Mu Ang felt that his second brother, since he became a marquis, was as if his eyes were covered with dirt. Although he never did anything to Mu Yan, but what the Jun family did to Mu Yan, did he really know nothing about it?

  The child has experienced life and death several times, and it is really not easy to live to this day.

   Mu Ang looked at Mu Yan's back as he walked away, "Second brother, do you really not think about Yan'er?"

   "Consider what?"

  Hiss, his second brother, is he playing stupid?

   "My son, what else can it be!"

   Seeing his second brother's stunned look, Mu Ang wanted to roll his eyes. His wise and powerful father never thought that the Hou Mansion would be passed on to his second brother. His second brother can't even defend Chengdu.

"Second brother, you really never thought of asking Yan'er to be the crown prince? When my father was alive, he personally carried him to Yunnan and adopted him to the eldest brother. You don't understand what that means? Later, the eldest brother became a prince, and he was given to Yan'er in only half a year. Please seal the crown prince."

  The second elder brother didn’t ask for the title of the eldest son, but an ambitious but incompetent eldest son. Didn’t he really think about the future of the Xipinghou Mansion?

   "Yaner, it is no longer under my name."

   Mu Ang couldn't understand his thoughts: "Even if he adopts the eldest brother's name, isn't his surname Mu? Could it change his origin? He is not your seed anymore?"

  Let Mu Zhan take over the title, and the power of the Xipinghou Mansion will be divided by the Jun clan, and they, the side branches of the common clan, may have no place to stand.

   Mu Ang couldn't help sighing. If you want to blame, blame his father and elder brother, who died too young.

   On the other side, Huo Xi and Huo Nian set off from the capital by boat, chartered a merchant ship, entered the Yangtze River from the Qinhuai River, and traveled upstream from the Yangtze River.

   Along the way, you have to pass through Jiangsu, Anhui, Jiangxi, Hubei, Hunan and other provinces before entering Sichuan. The boat boss said that going upstream would be slower, and it would take at least a month to reach Sichuan Province.

  Thinking about staying on the boat for such a long time, Huo Xi and Huo Nian both planned to find something to do to pass the time.

   "Sister, tell me about your mother, I want to hear it." Nian'er pestered her to hear about her mother.

  He grew up so big that he thought that Yang Shi and Huo Erhuai were his real parents. How could he know that when he woke up, his sister told him that his parents in Beijing were not his real parents.

  Huo Nian was sad and sad at the same time, and he spent several days on the deck with the river wind blowing listlessly before he accepted this fact.

   "I haven't even seen my mother." She pouted.

  My sister has seen her mother, but he has never seen her. His sister described his mother's appearance to him, but he still couldn't make up her mother's appearance.

  He still wanted to ask his father about it, but his sister never mentioned him, she just said that that person and that person had said what he said, and her sister hated him.

  Huo Nian was sensible and didn't ask about his father.

   Seeing that he wanted to hear, Huo Xi told him about his mother, and told him every detail of getting along with her mother since she could remember.

  Huo Nian listened quietly, with longing and regret in his eyes.

   "Sister, Mr. Qin can also draw. When I return to Beijing, I will learn to paint from him. I want to draw the appearance of my mother, so that I can know what my mother looks like."

  Huo Xi stroked his head, nodded with a smile: "Okay. Then you have to study hard. After you learn it, you will be able to draw the appearance of your mother."

  Huo Nian nodded heavily: "Well, I must study hard!"

  I made up my mind to learn painting from my husband when I got back to the capital. After asking about my mother, I asked about my grandparents, uncles, and cousins.

   Knowing that he still has so many brothers and sisters, he was very happy: "My sister didn't tell me earlier!"

   Duzui refused to agree, "Nian'er didn't even know, if I knew about Nian'er, I would bring them gifts from the capital." I don't know if they like Nian'er or not.

"You have the heart, grandpa and grandma must be very happy. We have to pass through many places on this journey. Every time the boat stops at a pier, we can disembark and have a rest. We can also take a walk in the city. When you see something good , I bought it for my grandparents.”

   "Okay!" Huo Nian immediately became happy, and began to count the money he brought with him, whether it was saved by himself or given by his parents before he left, he didn't know if it was enough to buy.

  The siblings were talking about the old days, killing time.

  Huo Xi felt that since he talked about his life experience with Nian'er, there was some importance in it, and he didn't plan to keep it from him anymore, and told him in detail, whether he understood it or not, he had to know the inside.

  What caused the change in the dynasty and family? It is not only the impermanence of the world, but also the ulterior motives of people. Even if he can't understand these, he should know.

  Huo Nianyi was forced by his sister to force a lot of things, and he couldn't digest it for a while.

  He used to live happily and carefree under the wings of his parents, sister and uncle, and he had never been exposed to these things.

  He thought that people and things in this world are beautiful, lively and peaceful, but now his sister tells him that it is not. Where he can't see, the situation is treacherous.

  Huo Nian's little head is full of messes that haven't been sorted out yet.

  Huo Xi saw Huo Nian sitting on the deck in a daze almost every day, his eyes wandering, looking at the void in front of him, in a daze.

  Huo Xi didn't disturb him, nor did he try to persuade him to comfort him.

  He is already nine years old. Although he is still young, he has reached the age of the governor. Only after going through the pains of growing up can he grow into a towering tree, be able to protect himself, and take back what belongs to him.
