Liu Mu's face tensed and his eyes trembled violently.

Seeing that he seemed to be moved, the old emperor suddenly felt hopeful. He was eager to awaken the brotherhood between himself and this young prince.

"Amu, save me! I am your brother! Your only brother! Before our father passed away, he told us two brothers to support each other and protect the South together!"

"Amu, Amu, don't you remember? When you were little, your brother brought you up. Your brother gave you whatever you wanted... Amu, save me!"

Liu Mu's eyes narrowed sharply, and the veins on the back of his hand holding the reins jumped up, reflecting his face that was about to be torn apart. There was a moment of silence, and the enemy and I were confronting each other. When the conflict was about to break out, Liu Mu lowered his eyes and said: "The flowers of the Tangdi tree are not as bright as the flowers of the Hubei tree. Among all the people today, there is nothing better than a brother."

The old emperor suddenly froze, his chest felt as if it was hit by a stone: "......!"

Liu Mu repeated: "Among all people today, there is no one better than a brother... This poem was taught to me by my brother. Do you still remember it, brother?"

…

The flowers of the Tangdi tree are not bright. But the memories of my childhood will be engraved forever as if they will last a lifetime.

The late emperor lived a long life. When the current Emperor of the Southern Kingdom was still the crown prince, he endured for more than 40 years, but did not live to see the old emperor's death. Instead, he lived to see the old emperor give birth to a younger brother.

The son was born in old age. Before Liu Mu was born, almost ten years had passed since his last elder brother. Therefore, the late emperor doted on Liu Mu as soon as he was born. He was made a king before the child grew up.

The old emperor now dotes on Liu Mu, whether it is to please his father or because he really likes his younger brother. He raises Liu Mu like his own son, and is even more intimate with him than his own son.

Liu Mu still remembers that his father was too old to be energetic, and it was his brother who brought him up when he was young. He developed a lawless and overbearing personality, and it was not without the help of his brother.

His violent temper, irritability, and even his uprightness and arrogance were all due to his brother.

I still remember that before going to bed at night, my brother would read to him to coax him to sleep. He was naughty and restless, refused to sleep well, and teased my brother many times. My brother looked helpless, and no matter how he made trouble, my brother never got angry. In Liu Mu's memory, the poem that he memorized by heart when he was a child always lingered in his ears -

"The flowers of the pomegranate tree are so beautiful that they are not as bright as the flowers of the taro. Among all the people today, there is nothing better than brothers... They are good for your family and bring joy to your wife and money. Is this the plan? Is it really so?"

…

Every day and every night is a blessing. Did everything change from the will of the emperor?

In fact, Liu Mu still doesn't know whether the so-called imperial edict exists or not, and whether it is true or false. He doesn't care about this. He originally thought that his brother was the emperor and he was a prince. He could be domineering when he was young, and it was natural for the princes to respect him when he grew up.

But my brother actually wanted to kill me...For me, things started to change from then on.

In the dark night, the brothers, who were a whole generation apart in age, stared at each other in the enemy army. After a long while, the old emperor closed his eyes and said in a trembling voice: "Tangdi... I remember, I remember!"

There was a buzzing in his mind, tears flowed, and his mind went blank for a moment. He had truly loved this brother, and he had liked this brother. His sons were like tools, tools for him to weigh and pull the aristocratic families. He sacrificed a lot for the throne, and he raised his brother like a son... He thought that this brother was so young that he would have no impact on his throne.

Liu Mu's handsome face, when he saw the old emperor closing his eyes in shame, he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled a little. The followers behind him saw their general sitting up straight, and drew out the Qiuhong long sword from his waist -

"Kill! Help me save His Majesty!"

In a flash, Liu Mu shouted loudly and flew up. He jumped off his horse, swung his sword, and rushed towards Yue Zihan. The young man Yue Zihan's pupils suddenly contracted, his muscles were like steel, he suddenly stood up, like a fierce dragon entering the river, and rushed towards Liu Mu!

"wipe--"

Sparks from the swords flew past, illuminating the eyes of the two young men.

The cold wind fills the body, splitting the mountains and cutting off the water!

Led by their two leaders, the armies of both sides rushed towards each other with great enthusiasm, brandishing their weapons and shouting loudly.

…

“Boom!”

The knocks on the door were loud and fast. The fighting outside the Lu family's house was fierce. Through the door, one could hear the fighting in the alley outside, and the enemy and us occasionally bumped into the wall. The soldiers deployed by the Lu family surrounded the gate of the house, guarding the entire courtyard as solid as a rock, without a single leak.

The guests who had been clamoring to go out before now fled back with pale faces, and those who could not come back had guesses in their hearts, and they were in a heavy mood. At the same time, someone knocked on the door for help, shouting for the Lu family to open the door and take them in.

The private soldiers refused to let anyone in. Lu Xian was anxious and tried to negotiate with them: "Those who can escape here and seek help from the Lu family are all people who trust us! There are also people who just went out and didn't come back. How can we not open the door?!"

The leader of the private army was unmoved: "Erlang, please forgive me. The spies from the Northern Kingdom deceived us and sneaked into Jianye. We cannot judge whether they are right or wrong. The best plan is to close the door and protect the people inside."

Lu Xian: "You, you..."

There was a loud knock on the door, mixed with the cries and screams of the people outside. The enemy was chasing them, blood was flowing in through the cracks in the door, the Northern Army was targeting all the soldiers in Jianye City, and the aristocratic families who were not prepared were thrown into chaos. They drove away, and when the whole city was in the midst of fighting, they came to the Lu family's gate for help.

The young man outside the door screamed: "Open the door! Open the door, Sanlang asked me to come!"

Lu Erlang Lu Xian was shaking and pointed at the door: "That's Qi Sanlang Qi An outside the door! Can't you recognize his voice? After my third brother leaves, leave all the affairs of the mansion to me and I will let you open the door!"

The leader of the private soldiers clasped his fists and said solemnly: "Sanlang only let Erlang take charge of the affairs of the sect. Sanlang said that Erlang was indecisive and not good at judging the situation. Erlang, please don't interfere in the war outside the sect."

Lu Xian: "You, you...that's Sai Saburo!"

He could not convince this stubborn leader, so he turned to his father and asked him to withdraw the soldiers. Prime Minister Lu stayed with the head of the Lu family and others, and at the same time comforted the guests who came to the Lu family to attend the wedding banquet. In response to his son's request for help, Prime Minister Lu only said: "Listen to Sanlang. Leave the matter tonight to Sanlang, you just need to assist him."
