Gu Anning accompanied Zhao Xun for a long time. He patted the tall young man on the back and let him cry like a child until he calmed down after venting his emotions.

"Second brother... what should I do?" Zhao Xun came out of Gu Anning's arms and asked in a muffled voice, "I can't help but think these days, it's better to just die and save myself from being tortured in this world .If the eldest brother and the second brother were in my situation, what would they do?"

Gu Anning was silent for a long time, afraid of his arm, "No one wants to live. Only after death is the real powerlessness, and there are many things that can be done in life. He doesn't want to delegate power, and he will definitely not let our brothers go easily. You have to be careful Yes, even if you can't step into the territory of the Song Dynasty, you have to live well."

Zhao Xun showed a dazed expression when he heard the words, and then the confusion on his face faded away, and the surrounding grassland gradually turned into the cabin where he lives now, and the two sat at the table from the open field.

The light in the room was very dim, and the sun was shining brightly outside, but Zhao Xun couldn't see his brother's face clearly.

He didn't realize that something was wrong at all, restrained his wronged child-like demeanor, and showed the fortitude that matched his appearance. He whispered, "Thank you, second brother, I seem to remember something."

"What is it?" Gu Anning asked him.

Zhao Xun said, "I haven't seen the emperor's uncle, and I haven't even been able to enter the imperial city. After being abandoned by the Jin people, I was separated from my elder brother. I asked the prefect of the county to explain my identity, but was directly driven out of the country. Da Song I was not welcome, I wandered around, took in some homeless soldiers, wandered around the border, harassed Mongolia to attack the Kingdom of Jin.

"I have never seen my elder brother again. Eldest brother is the crown prince. If the emperor doesn't want to let him go back, the ministers in the court will not agree. After being taken back, the elder brother has a bad life. Da Song already has another prince, so there is no need to come forward." The prince came back. The emperor re-appointed him, and the elder brother was killed not long after."

He didn't comment much, but smiled wryly, "I shouldn't still have hope in my heart. My elder brother died because of this, why can't I always see clearly?"

"You've done a good job." Gu Anning said, "I'm afraid no one can do better than you."

"Second brother's words comforted me a lot." Zhao Xun smiled, Gu Anning looked at his smile, felt a little strange, and rushed to Xin'an inexplicably.

With Zhao Xun around, Gu Anning is not completely clueless.

There is a force in Zhao Xun. Although he himself is walking alone in the dark, Gu Anning can feel the changes in Zhao Jin after coming into contact with Zhao Xun.

Although he was young when he died, he suffered a rare ordeal in the world, from a high-ranking prince to a homeless wild ghost.But other than that, he should see the reality more clearly, rather than delusional to go back to the past.

Gu Anning made a mistake in thinking about one thing last time.

What Zhao Jin pursues is impossible to achieve, even if everything is poor, it is difficult to achieve.Gu Anning shouldn't try to create a "home" for him, immersing himself in the past will make him abandoned by the times, Zhao Jin can either accept the status quo like Zhao Xun and continue his own life, or he can only stay here and be surrounded by the infinite. Endless packages of pain.

In addition to being the prince of the first dynasty, he is also an elder brother. In front of Zhao Xun, he will try his best to put away his negative emotions and turn himself into a normal human being.

Vulnerable emotions serve no purpose, they can only be strong.

Gu Anning listened to him a lot, making up for the lack of understanding of the current situation in the past three years.

Time passed, and the sky outside the dream gradually brightened.Gu Anning knew that Zhao Xun was about to wake up.He changed his plan in his mind, and finally smiled at Zhao Xun, "I should go."

The corners of Zhao Xun's eyes were wet. He knew that Gu Anning had died. This was not the first time he dreamed about his brother, but it was a rare clear and relaxed one.

The two princes are similar in age, and many brothers think that they are the best at playing. Although they grew up a lot apart, the experience of sharing adversity has tied the fate of the two together. It is a pity that his elder brother committed suicide within a few days. up.

Zhao Xun also misses the past, he can cry with Gu Anning, and after Gu Anning leaves, Zhao Xun will return to the ordinary person who was expelled by the emperor.

An ordinary person who obviously has nothing but voluntarily bears enormous pressure.

"Second brother..." Zhao Xun called out reluctantly, and said in a low voice, "I will definitely live a good life. Even if Zhao Gou doesn't recognize me, I will treat Da Song with all my heart. I will see you when I die. A satisfactory account."

"I don't need to wait for you to die," Gu Anning patted him on the shoulder, "We will meet soon."

"what?"

Before he could ask the doubts in his heart, the elder brother in front of him suddenly disappeared, and Zhao Xun also opened his eyes.

"It's a dream. It's a dream again." He murmured, raised his hand to touch his cheek, and found that tears were already streaming down his face.

Gu Anning walked around the place where Zhao Xun lived several times, but did not meet Zhao Chen's soul.

He felt that Zhao Chen and Zhao Jin would have more topics in common. If Zhao Chen could ignore this matter and let him comfort him, that would be the best way to complete the task.

Unfortunately, I don't know where to find it.

Thinking of Zhao Chen, Gu Anning felt a sense of envy in his heart. This was not his own emotion, but Zhao Jin's.

Although Zhao Chen was aggrieved by his death, at least he still had a legitimate identity and could be buried in the imperial tomb.Unlike him and Zhao Xun, the bones after death do not know where to be buried.

Zhao Xun lived in a small village on the border between Mongolia and the Song Dynasty. He hid his surname and farmed and herded sheep like an ordinary person.He just occasionally disappeared for a period of time, and brought a few brothers to join the war to do his best.

Gu Anning followed him for a long time, he didn't know how to face his sober brother.With the contrast between elder brother and younger brother, his death is even more cowardly and incompetent.

Gu Anning silently said it several times in his heart, his body was lying in the Gujiazhuang waiting for him to go back.Over there is my own life, which cannot stand the passing of time.After making enough mental preparations, Gu Anning took advantage of Zhao Xun's turning around and moved the ladle on the water tank, making a distinct noise.

Zhao Xun turned his head suddenly and looked around vigilantly, but he didn't see a single figure.

He stepped forward and saw the water in the tank rippling.

There was no wind around, so the sound just now could not be an illusion.

Zhao Xun wiped his hands on his body, hurried out of the house, and turned to the neighbor's house.

The neighbor was a wounded soldier rescued by Zhao Xun on the battlefield. His leg injury was not healed after many years of care.Because of this, everyone called him "the lame".

Zhao Xun whispered to the cripple, "It seems that someone has entered the house. I'm not sure yet. I'm afraid I won't be able to live here. Pack up your things and prepare to leave."

The cripple said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. Are the other brothers also with me?"

Zhao Xun said, "There are too many people. It is too easy to be regarded as spies at this time. Once we are discovered, the Jin, Mongol, and Song people will not let us go. Let everyone go separately."

He sighed, "I was the one who got you bothered. If it wasn't for me, you would still be able to go back to Da Song, and you don't have to sneak around here."

"What are you talking about!" the cripple shouted, "I've had enough! Why did I join the army in the first place? I didn't want to have a full meal! If you don’t pay your military salary, you won’t have food during the war. Isn’t that killing your life for nothing? It’s better to have clean water to drink before you join the army.”

Now is not the time to reminisce about the past, Zhao Xun comforted him, borrowed some firewood from the cripple's house, and returned to his home as if nothing had happened.

Gu Anning was standing very close to him, seeing with his own eyes that Zhao Xun's expression was a little nervous as usual, he couldn't help but lower his head and put his eyes on the ground to observe the shadows on the ground.Because of the frequent migration, Zhao Xun didn't have many things in his house, so he took out a dagger from under the pillow, put it in his boots, and packed some other things.

Gu Anning didn't expect him to be so vigilant, and thought that if he didn't show up again, Zhao Xun would be able to run a few miles away in less than a quarter of an hour.

He sighed, and then saw Zhao Xun's back become stiff for an instant, and the next moment Zhao Xun suddenly turned around. He didn't know when he held a knife in his hand, and he raised his hand swiftly, penetrating Gu Anning's body. .

Gu Anning didn't feel anything at all, the expression on his face was very pale, he stood where he was, looking at Zhao Xun sadly.

"Second Brother?!" Zhao Xun was extremely surprised. He carefully observed the surrounding area, making sure that he didn't hear anyone else's voice. He took a step forward and reached out to touch Gu An Ning, but his arm passed through his body like a blade.

Zhao Xun murmured, "Am I still dreaming?"

"I said we will meet again." Gu Anning's body gradually solidified, and he looked at Zhao Xun, "Compared to your dream, you seem to be stronger."

"Second brother, is it really you?" Zhao Xun found it inconceivable. Anyone who saw his brother who had been dead for many years suddenly appeared would be inconceivable.

"It's me." Gu Anning nodded, he lied, "I've always been by your side."

Hearing this sentence, Zhao Xun's resolute expression broke, and the sourness reappeared on the tip of his nose. He touched his nose unnaturally, took a deep breath, and suppressed the touch and joy in his heart, "Why...you Why……"

"You want to ask me why I didn't leave this world and reincarnated?"

Zhao Xun nodded.

After Zhao Jin hanged himself, he stayed in the empty yard for more than ten years, and when he returned after failing in his mission, it was another three years of indistinctness.

Wandering around the world in the form of a ghost for more than ten years, why not reincarnate?And he has been by his side all the time, why did he show up until today?

Gu Anning pursed her lips, her expression darkened, and said, "You know how I died."

Zhao Xun froze for a moment, "Hang yourself..."

"Yes, hang yourself." Gu Anning smiled wryly, "If I had known today, I would never have committed suicide on that day. I didn't believe it before, but only after I died did I realize that those who commit suicide will really suffer retribution."
