The relationship between father and son is not a blood inheritance, but more of a comparison of hearts.

...

I am thirsty and hungry. 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.

The interior of Qinghe's residence 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 years old, I learned a secret from my drunk mother. In fact, 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. They met each other like a dream. They fell in love with each other and agreed to marry each other. After that, I was born. This person may be destined to have no status in his life.

Survivor.

Brother-sister incest, an act that violates general ethics, is naturally not tolerated by the world, especially a family with a lintel as high as the Jiang family, would not allow such a situation to occur. In anger, Jiang Cang, the elder of the Jiang family, also

It was my grandfather who had never met him who cut the knot quickly and secretly eliminated all the insiders. Later, my mother Jiang Lanyuan married Huaxing County and became my father's wife, and Jiang Feng succeeded to the throne of the clan leader.

In this way, my father became a scavenger.

I think: 'Father' Liu Xing knew that I was not his son, but he always kept it deep in his heart and showed no signs of it. Maybe it was also because of this that the Lingyuan Liu family was able to get the protection of the Jiang family and act unscrupulously in Huaxing County

Yes!

Inheriting what ordinary people cannot, he was moved and endured, and he treated me like his own son. From that time on, 'father' became my great hero. And no one will 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, I and four of the accompanying Jiang family retainers 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 and bold. He would always take my third brother and me on sightseeing tours and tinker with new things. The third brother was handsome in appearance, talented in literature, and could write brilliantly. He was our little strategist.

.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 businesses, welcomed people and sent people away, and was very busy with the past affairs. The third brother was entrusted by his father with the task of reviving the Liu family. He devoted himself to studying and seeking to achieve great things. He played with cats all day long.

Funny dog, nothing to do, I am the only one left, but I am happy and free.

Every time I lie on the top of Laotou Mountain, with the breeze blowing by, I feel satisfied and comfortable, and I always think with peace of mind: In my life, wandering 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 long.

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 his studies, 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 it is only today that 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 impoverished since modern times. Twelve years ago, my father chose to let his eldest brother support the second prince and his party during the contest for the legitimate rights of his two sons. As a result, the second prince and his party were completely destroyed in the Gyeonggi War. Fortunately, my father relied on Qu.

The big tree of the Zhoujiang family was able to save the family and survive the disaster.

Later, in order to save the embarrassing situation of having no one in the court, my father immediately asked me to take the position of his eldest brother. By doing this, I 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, Xiao Zhangliang.

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 someone 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 resume my position as the head of the family, so that I can continue to live my peaceful life.

For the sake of this family, I am willing to be that stepping stone. Even if it costs a few 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, trapping me 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 elder brother is a good elder brother, and my third brother is a good third brother. Only

I am unkind, unfilial and unjust. It was me, it was 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 transferred 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 secretly delivered to Zigui Academy by Jiang's retainers and was sealed at the door.

"On the tenth day of October, I will meet my brother at Liu's former residence." - Liu Ruisheng

I believe that my good third brother will definitely come to the appointment.

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 Downing Horse Realm, and one secretly accompanying the Poker.

The warriors in the city are full of talents. In comparison, the Liu family of Lingyuan, who lives in a corner, is comparable to 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. It looked desolate.

I am independent in the attic, and all the grudges and unrequited feelings are drawn in this small door. He visited the ancient hill in Ruoxu, the bright moon also passed the old building, and when he saw Qingheju, he was still well behaved.

Here, the idea of ​​reviving the Liu family began to sprout in my mind. 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 was pale, and old friends came 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 and tidy. 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 break into 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, went straight to the topic, 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 Chunsheng 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's face was calm and he replied, "Yes."

I asked again, "The third question is, why do you do this?"
