Chapter 986
Hua Zijing looked back at his uncompetitive son, his eyes showed deep helplessness, but his eyes instantly became stern. He looked at Hua Xiu and reprimanded sharply: "Descendants of Hua's family, blood is not shed without tears! You don't have to blame yourself, you were only seven years old ten years ago, even your eldest brother couldn't deal with those enemies at that time." If you want revenge, you can only become stronger!"
"Getting stronger, getting stronger...... Become stronger!" Hua Xiu's heart kept repeating these two words.
Hua Zijing didn't say this to him once or twice, and Hua Xiu was not unmotivated. But no matter how hard he tries, he can't practice martial arts, his body is not thin, and he is still very strong, but he just can't become a martial artist.
Hua Zijing looked at Hua Xiu's unwilling to give in eyes, turned around and sighed softly, his tone became softer, and said to the three children: "Your mother is very simple, she doesn't like those gorgeous things. So I just built her a simple house. She told me that she would love to take her family back to the mountains and forests, breathe fresh air and live a carefree life, and no longer care about the troubled times. ”
Speaking of this, Hua Zijing's tone was also a little trembling, and he held back his tears and walked into the room with the three children.
The furnishings in the room are also very simple, with only a bed, a wooden table and a normal chair. On the wall hangs her portrait.
In the portrait, her gaze is still so kind and gentle, melting the hearts of the four fathers and sons in the room.
Hua Zijing touched the portrait with trembling hands, and his three children also knelt on the ground.
Hua Teng usually doesn't like to talk, he raised his head to look at the portrait of his mother, and said loudly: "The child will one day avenge you and kill all the enemies of the Western Holy Spirit Country!"
The Holy Spirit Empire is located in the northwest, and it has always had a hostile relationship with the Wyvern Empire, which sits in the southeast of the earth.
Since the founding of the two countries, there has been friction between the two countries, but because of the Hua family, the Holy Spirit Empire has not dared to invade on a large scale.
It can be said that the Flying Dragon Empire is the empire of the Hua family, and Hua Zijing's prestige is even higher than that of the current emperor.
After all, it is one of the best forces on the mainland, even though the Hua family declined thousands of years ago, but now the glory of the family has begun to reappear.
A hundred years ago, Hua Zijing's father, Hua Long, was born, reorganized the family with absolute strength, and challenged the world's leaders to push the family's prestige to the peak again.
As the son of Hua Long, Hua Zijing inherited all his advantages, and even took the Flying Dragon Empire into his own hands.
In the evening, Hua Xiu lay alone in his room, looking at the square outside the window, watching the soldiers in the square practicing hard, he was also extremely yearning.
Over the years, Hua Zijing has found many famous teachers for him, but no one can make him a martial artist.
Later, Hua Zijing even handed over the family's forbidden martial arts to Hua Xiu to cultivate, but there was still no improvement.
In the end, Hua Zijing also gave up letting Hua practice martial arts, and he was ready to send him to the Imperial Academy. However, Hua Xiu didn't have the slightest intention of studying literature, and he didn't make a appearance after studying in the imperial academy for two years. In the end, Hua Zijing locked Hua Xiu at home in a fit of anger and asked him to find a way out by himself, and only gave him a chance to go out once a month.
So up to now, Hua Xiu still can't do anything. Therefore, Hua Xiu created the first record in the history of the family and became the first waste in the history of the family.
In the first two years, Hua Xiu was still practicing various martial arts in the family, but after practicing for two years, he only learned the silent steps of the escape technique that did not get started. Now he didn't have the heart to specialize in martial arts, but became interested in the art of war.
Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be overlooked.
For the art of war, Hua Xiu now also knows a little bit about it. He also understood a little bit of the most basic arrangement.
Although he is not proficient in martial arts, he can also destroy the enemy if he is familiar with the art of war. With this in mind, Hua Xiu began to specialize in the art of war.
After learning that Hua Xiu specialized in the art of war, Hua Zijing did not object to him, he knew that this was also a way out chosen by his son. Since you can't be a general, let's be a strategist.
After worshipping his mother, Hua Xiu's mood has always been very heavy. When he had nothing to do, he got out of bed and left the room to find his sister, and took her to the pond in the back garden.
The reason why Hua Xiu dotes on his sister very much, in addition to her eccentric personality, the most important reason is that Hua Xiu's appearance is very similar to his mother.
Hua Xiu often brings his sister to the pond to relax, and he likes to listen to the sound of the water flowing in the pond.
Hua Xiu sat on the stone chair next to the pond by himself, watching his sister running around by the pond and smiling coquettishly, he also smiled softly.
Because of the frequent wars, the empire had to recruit some new soldiers from all over the country every month. Young men who have reached the age of eighteen can join the army.
The Flying Dragon Empire has ten ace armies, among which Hua Zijing's Hua family army ranks first and is also the largest team in the empire.
Now Hua Xiu is also seventeen years old, and he will join the army in another year.
On the day of conscription again, Hua Xiu sat in the room and looked at the new recruits in the army, sighing softly.
"Second brother, are you going to join the army next year?" Hua Zijing didn't have time to take care of this little daughter when he sorted out military affairs, so Hua Sheng followed behind Hua Xiu like a little tail every day.
Hua Xiu held his sister in his arms, pointed to the recruits outside the window, and said, "Actually, my brother really doesn't like to be a soldier, but there can't be cowards in the family, and my brother has to avenge his mother." ”
Hua Sheng snuggled in Hua Xiu's arms, looked up and said, "I hope my brother doesn't go to the army, and if my mother is still there, she won't let you go." ”
Hua Xiu looked at her sister's serious appearance, her big watery eyes looked at herself without blinking, what she said was so mature.
The brother and sister stopped talking for a while, the two looked at each other for a moment, Hua Xiu couldn't help laughing, lightly tapped his sister's forehead with his fingers, and said with a smile: "You, a little adult, have learned to comfort me." ”
"Giggles..."Hua Xiangjiao smiled and rubbed in Hua Xiu's arms.
The brother and sister laughed for a long time, but Hua Sheng suddenly stopped smiling, and there were tears in his eyes, and the tears stuck to his eyelashes and were about to fall.
Seeing his sister's appearance, Hua Xiu suddenly panicked: "Shang'er, what's wrong with you, is someone bullying you?"
Hua Sheng buried his head on Hua Xiu's shoulder, holding back tears and trembling his body, and said very sadly: "Brother, I will go to school at the Imperial Academy in a few days." ”
Hua Xiu was stunned, then patted Hua Shang's little buttocks, and scolded with a smile: "It turns out that I don't want to go to school, that's not good." In the future, if others know that the dignified lady of the Hua family doesn't know how to read, how embarrassing it is. ”
"No!" Hua Sheng shook her head and said lonely: "After Shang'er went to school, there was no one to accompany my brother, I was afraid that my brother would be lonely, and I was even more afraid..."
She didn't say what she was afraid of, but Hua Xiu knew her thoughts.
Hua Xiu hugged Hua Sheng tightly in his arms and sighed lightly: "Shang'er will always be a good sister to my brother, are you afraid that others will bully your brother?" Because my father said that he would send me to the team for training next year, I heard that I would still be sent to General Qin. ”
This General Qin is Hua Zijing's sworn enemy, and Hua Zijing wants to send Hua Xiu to his subordinates, obviously to experience Hua Xiu.
Although Hua Sheng was only ten years old, she was sensitive and knew that Hua Xiu would suffer a lot when she joined the army, so she was reluctant to let her brother suffer.
Hua Xiu pinched Hua Xiang's little face and said with a smile: "Don't cry, I know you feel sorry for your brother, but my brother is an adult, and if you are an adult, you have to serve the country and kill the enemy on the battlefield." But don't be naughty when you go to school, listen to your husband, and don't be teased by others for not learning like your brother. ”
Hua Sheng wiped her tears, showed a very serious look, and said firmly: "I know, I will study hard to learn, and my brother will take care of himself after I go to school." ”
Hua Xiu smiled and scolded with a smile: "Don't make it look like life and death, you are not allowed to be naughty after school, you are the eldest lady of the Hua family, you can't lose the family's demeanor." ”
Hua Shang's little eyes rolled, stuck out his tongue, and grinned: "I know, I won't be naughty." ”
Looking at his sister's eccentric appearance, Hua Xiu smiled wryly.
A few days have passed in the blink of an eye, and today is the day when Huashang enters the Imperial Academy.
Hua Zijing has too much time to take care of his youngest daughter because of too many affairs in the army. It is still the school that Hua Xiu personally sent Hua Sheng to.
Only the children of nobles and warlords were eligible to attend the Imperial Academy, which was built in a very large building and could accommodate as many as 10,000 people.
As soon as he entered the academy, Hua Xiu saw an old acquaintance.
This is an old man with white hair, and when the old man saw Hua Xiu enter the school gate, his eyes showed deep disdain. However, he pretended to be very enthusiastic to greet the Hua Xiu brothers and sisters.
"Hey, Second Young Master Hua has enrolled in school with Miss. The old man greeted the two with a smile.
Hua Xiu looked at the old man and said lukewarmly: "Mr. Charlotte, I caused you a lot of trouble when I was young, I hope you don't bully my sister because of me." ”
"How can it, who dares to bully the children of the Hua family?" The gentleman named Charlotte still looked very enthusiastic.
Hua Xiu snorted lightly and said to his sister, "You have to listen to Mr. carefully, especially this Mr. Charlotte, don't make him angry." ”
Hua Sheng nodded, and followed Hua Xiu towards the school building.
Charlotte is the only teacher from the West in the Imperial Academy, because Hua Xiu's mother was killed by Westerners, so he has been unable to get along with this Mr. Charlotte when he first came to the Academy.
Watching the Hua Xiu brothers and sisters enter the school building, Xia Luo had a gloomy face and snorted lightly: "The waste of the Hua family, it was because you and I couldn't return to the motherland, even if you are from the Hua family, you have to pay the price!"
Hua Xiu himself didn't know that the identity of this Mr. Charlotte was not as simple as it seemed.
After sending his sister to the Imperial Academy, Hua Xiu walked alone on the streets of Thang Long City, and he looked at the bustling crowd and felt that he was out of place with them.
Most of the people in Thang Long City knew Hua Xiu, and although these people were very respectful, their eyes were full of mockery.
Hua Xiu is used to the way people look at him, he is not a gentleman, and he will not bother with these people.
However, he didn't want to go into trouble.
Hua Xian was walking to the General's Mansion, but he met his cousin Hua Yun on the street.
Hua Zijing has only one younger brother, his younger brother is called Hua Zilong, and this Hua Yun is Hua Zilong's youngest son, only one year older than Hua Xiu.
At this moment, Hua Yun was wearing a war armor and riding a war horse on the street, holding his head high and majestic.
Although Hua Xiu doesn't have much friendship with Hua Yun on weekdays, he is also a cousin, so he naturally wants to say hello.
Hua Xiu kindly went to greet Hua Yun, but Hua Yun ignored him as air.
Hua Xiu scratched his head in embarrassment and was about to leave, but just as he turned to leave, Hua Yun opened his mouth and said, "Oh, isn't this my good cousin Hua Xiu?"
Listening to Hua Yun's gloomy tone, Hua Xiu frowned and turned around, and said coldly: "Hua Xiu had already greeted his brother just now, but his brother didn't hear it. ”
Hua Yun rode on his horse and looked down at Hua Xiu, and said with a smile: "Oh, brother, didn't you just come back from the army." So please don't be surprised by my cousin. By the way, I heard that Xiang'er entered the Imperial Academy today, and I just happened to pass by the Academy and found a good gentleman for her by the way. ”
Hua Xiu smiled and said, "Brother Lao is worried. ”
"Hehe, where is there, brother, don't be polite to me. I've heard that Mr. Charlotte is a very special gentleman, and I think she should be able to get ahead under him. Hua Yun looked at Hua Xiu with a smile.
Hearing this, Hua Xiu's heart suddenly sank, he looked at Hua Yun coldly, frowned, and said, "Doesn't my brother know that I have a grudge against Xia Luo?"
"Oh, I really don't know!" Hua Yun suddenly exclaimed exaggeratedly, and his expression was almost fake.
Hua Xiu clenched his fists, stared at Hua Yun deadly, gritted his teeth and said, "Hua Yun, don't you want to act with me, don't you just want me to make a fool of myself." You see that I am not upset and come at me, Xiang'er is innocent!"
Hua Yun looked at Hua Xiu with disdain, and sneered: "Yes, I just look down on you, you family's waste!"
Hua Xiu's whole body trembled, gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Hua Yun, if my sister is hurt, I won't let you feel better!"
"Haha!" Hua Yun laughed arrogantly and said to Hua Xiu: "What a majestic brother, I heard that Xia Luo is related to a major event ten years ago, I guess you don't know, right?"
Hua Xiu's heart trembled, and he glared and shouted, "What are you talking about!?Xia Luo turned out to be related to that incident ten years ago, why didn't you tell me earlier." No, why did you send her clothes to him when you know that?"
