In the 20th year of Kaihuang in the Great Sui Dynasty, in Chang'an City.

A middle-aged man under forty years old, heavy and powerful, was walking around the courtyard.

This is just a courtyard in front of the inner study room for the owner to take a walk, which is already dozens of feet in a radius. The stone wood in Jiangnan brought from the Chen Dynasty, which had been destroyed for several years, is decorated with a small garden with a romantic atmosphere in the Guanzhong area.

Although the Great Sui Dynasty had been established for a long time and unified the world, Jiangnan's prosperity and prosperity had overwhelmed the long-standing Central Plains in the aftermath of the Jin Dynasty. Nowadays, the grain and silk sections piled up in the warehouses of Liyang, Luokou, and other warehouses are basically transported from Jiangnan, supplying the Guandong area of ​​Guanzhong, the heart of the Great Sui Dynasty.

The romantic atmosphere inherited from the Jin Dynasty also made the north admire him without saying it.

It is obvious that the owner can operate such a large mansion in Chang'an capital, where every inch of land is valuable, and decorate the courtyard in front of the study with a complete Jiangnan flavor.

But this garden owner, who looked thick and powerful, now looked anxious.

The sound of footsteps came from outside the door. A general wearing a robe and wearing a bright light armor was strode in front of the master and bowed his hand.

The middle-aged man had already come forward: "What's the situation?"

The general of the army lowered his voice: "The Duke of Yue was in charge, and all the elite guards of the twelve guards were selected and released. Tonight, Dazhe East Palace. The deposed prince has been moved out of the East Palace."

The middle-aged man was shocked: "Where is the guards of the East Palace?"

The general's voice was even lower: "The last general was in it, and he had already killed all the guards under the order of the Duke of Yue."

The middle-aged man seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and asked again with a trembling voice: "Xu Wei's family..."

The general's tone of his voice was not fluctuating, and he said plainly: "The family of Xu Wei, the general of the East Palace, was buried in his door and had no remains."

The middle-aged man finally calmed down and shook his head and said, "It's a pity that Xu Wei is a talented person, and he is invincible in the face of the battle. But he is following the wrong person. This loyalty is really used in the wrong place."

The voice of the military general was still plain: "But Xu Wei had already handed over the child he had not been born to the Sima of the Old Left Guard Mansion. His father Xu Gan. Xu Gan has already left Chang'an tonight... I wonder if he will chase him?"

The middle-aged man subconsciously raised his hand and finally sighed dejectedly: "Xu Ganjiu has made contributions to his ancestors. I can't protect his son, so let him go now... Do you know where he is going?"

The expression of the general of the military finally changed a little: "Xu Gan was a tiger general under Laozhuguo back then. He rode alone across the river and went deep into the provocation of the Northern Qi army, and returned with the heads of the seven generals of the Northern Qi army. If he really wants to leave, how can the last general catch up with him?"

The middle-aged man pondered for a while, finally shook his head: "Forget it, with Xu Dan, he should be safe. Let him go!"

In the night, an old man in his fifties was riding fast with a spear on his horse.

The majestic city wall of Chang'an was just a faint black line behind him.

In front of him, there was a cradle tied in. The old man urged the horse to walk away, while looking down from time to time.

In the cradle, there was a snow-white, pink and tender baby of eight or nine months old, eating his fingers. The horse was bumping, but the baby didn't look like crying for a long time. The old man lowered his head, and the baby smiled back.

Tears slid down from the old man's eyes and were wiped away by him.

"I am another general from the Xu family! I will be better than your father in the future!"

Then the old man sighed again, and his grief and anger filled the vast fields with this sigh!

"But even if you have the same ability as your father, what's the use? In the eyes of aristocratic families, our lives are so despicable! As long as you live well, grandpa will always protect you and live well!"

In the night, the old man and the baby are alone, but they are confused and do not know where to go.

The little baby danced in the old man's arms and suddenly pointed to the north, and he didn't know what he was saying.
