Guo Huai bowed and returned the salute, and when he saw Lu Zhen, he didn't seem surprised.

Subsequently, under the guidance of Guo Huai, Lu Zhen came to a house, and at this time, Xice was lying on his side on the couch, with his back to the door, and was taking a nap.

"Dramatist, the eldest prince is back." Guo Huai whispered outside the door.

Xi Ce, who was in light sleep, opened his eyes slightly, sat up from the bed, and asked Guo Huai to take Lu Zhen to the lobby to wait first, and then called a servant to dress him and get up to stay.

Lu Zhen sat in the lobby for a while, and after gossiping with Guo Huai for less than half a cup of tea, a servant pushed the joke out.

Seeing Xi Ce sitting in a wheelchair, the look on Lu Zheng's face was full of surprise, and the Xi Ce uncle in front of him completely subverted the image of the scribe in his memory, which was a world of difference, and it was completely different.

Although the drama strategy back then was thin, his spirit was still there, and his words and demeanor always showed an indifferent self-confidence, as if he was confident in everything and under his control.

But now the person in front of him, his cheekbones bulge, his whole body is so thin that there is only a layer of skin and bones left, his face is terrifyingly pale, and there is no trace of blood.

When his gaze moved downward, Xi Ce's two legs were covered by two layers of thick velvet blankets, although he couldn't see it, but a normal person, who would go to be a wheelchair?

Lu Zhen subconsciously asked: "Uncle, your legs ......"

"It's okay, it's just a leg disease." Seeing Lu Zheng's expression of concern, Xi Ce showed a smile on his face, waved his hand slightly, and his words were very indifferent, as if he didn't care.

"Does that father know ......" Lu Zhen asked again, but he remembered that whenever Xi Ce replied to his father's letters, he always said that he was in good health, and his body was getting stronger and stronger day by day, so that his father didn't have to worry.

My father also believed it, so he was relieved to fight the traitors on the front line.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Lu Zhen wouldn't have believed that his uncle Xice would be so sick in such a field.

Xi Ce still didn't pay attention to this, but said: "Your father is fighting against the rebels on the front line, I have a small illness, just rest for a while, there is no need to tell your father." ”

"But this is no small matter!"

Lu Zhan's face was solemn, with a little anxiety: "If my father knew that your uncle was so ill, he would definitely go back to Chang'an to see you no matter what!" ”

"That's why I can't let your father know." Xi Ce shook his head slightly, how could he not know Lu Bu's temperament.

It's just that right now, when Lu Bu and Liu Bianjun confront each other, there will definitely be a big battle that will determine the fate of the world.

And beside Lu Bu, there are Guo Jia and others to give advice, and the drama is very relieved, but the only thing he is worried about is that Lu Bu will rush back to Chang'an desperately after knowing that he is ill.

If this is the case, I am afraid that Liu Wei and other rebels will take the opportunity to take advantage of the loophole.

The whole world is more inclined to the former than the mere death, after all, he has put decades of effort into this.

"Qingtong, you promise me not to tell your father about this." Xi Ce grabbed Lu Zhen's arm, and his gaze was particularly firm.

"I ......"

Lu Zhen opened his mouth, but the words behind him were stuck in his throat. He could have easily broken free from the scheming grasp, but he hesitated. He is different from his younger brother Lu Xiao, as an elder brother, he understands more truths, and he also understands the current situation, if his father returns to Chang'an, he may let the rebels take advantage of the situation.

But if you don't say it, once your father learns about it in the future, he will be furious.

For a while, Lu Zhan's mind was hesitant.

"Qingtong, your father and I and other uncles have worked together for so many years, and many old people have been buried in the yellow sand. Can you bear to watch the foundation laid by your fathers be ruined? ”

Seeing Lu Zhen's hesitation, Xi Ce played the emotional card.

"But......" Lu Zhen wanted to say and stopped.

"It's nothing good, that's how life grows. When I told your father, and look away, you are far smarter than your father, and you should know these things if I don't say them. ”

Xi Ce's words finally made Lu Zhen settle down, he nodded, and said solemnly to Xi Ce: "Okay, uncle, I promise you!" ”

Seeing Lu Zhen nodding, a rare smile appeared on Xi Ce's face, and he said to Lu Zhen: "Qingtong, push me to the courtyard for a walk." ”

Lu Zhen answered softly, then walked over, stood behind Xi Ce, and pushed the wheelchair out of the hall.

Walking along the river corridor in the house, the winter light falls on the calm surface of the river, sparkling.

Lu Zhen's pace was very slow, pushing the drama strategy and slowly moving forward.

On the way, Xi Ce asked Lu Zhen: "Qingtong, do you know why I only called you back this time, instead of your sister or brother?" ”

Lu Zhen didn't think much about it, and gave a more reasonable answer: "Maybe the little nephew is a little more sensible." ”

Hearing this, Tusely shook his head, and then asked a question that seemed to have nothing to do with the matter: "Do you remember what you said when you were two years old?" ”

Lu Zhen didn't understand why Xice brought this up, only said that he couldn't think of it.

Such a long time ago, no matter how good his memory is, he can't remember it.

Lu Zhan couldn't remember, so Xi Ce told him to listen, even after so many years, many memories have gradually blurred, but only this incident, Xi Ce still remembers it very clearly.

"When you were two years old, your father went on an expedition to Liaodong. The little bell and the brute all ran to see off the general, but you were the only one hiding in the courtyard and sulking. It just so happened that I bumped into you at that time, so I asked you, why didn't you send the general? ”

"You were a little timid at the time, and you didn't dare to answer me."

"Then I went and got you candy, and you told me that you hated the current emperor because he always separated the general from your brother and sister. You also said that when you grow up in the future, you will be an emperor yourself. That way, you can send other generals out to fight, and your father will be able to stay at home......"

Recalling the conversation with the little guy back then, Xi Ce laughed, as if in a blink of an eye, the shy little boy back then was already so tall.

"Uncle, the nonsense I said when I was a child should not be true."

Lu Zhan's face was embarrassed, he couldn't remember this matter for a long time. What's more, if today's son is in power, if this word spreads, whether it is for the Lu family or the Han family, it will be harmful and not beneficial.

So, it's better to forget about it early.

"And now?"

The playful man who looked straight ahead suddenly asked a rhetorical question, his eyes full of deep meaning.

Lu Zhen's body, who was pushing the wheelchair, was suddenly stunned, and the joke sitting in the wheelchair turned around, tilting his neck to look at Lu Zhen, his eyes were deep and sharp, as if he wanted to penetrate his eyeballs and reach the depths of his heart.
