The room itself was not big, because Lei Xu was seriously ill and afraid of chills, and there were many curtains on all sides, making the space even more cramped. The light emitted by several candlesticks and braziers was covered by the curtains, turning into a halo of brightness, disturbing Lei Yuan's vision. He widened his eyes and found that he had actually kneeled in the dark corner of the room.

The man's nose and face were bruised. He seemed to have just been beaten and his clothes were damaged in many places. It was obviously a sign of being whipped. Seeing Lei Yuan looking at him, he suddenly bowed his head and tried his best to curl up his huge body, which seemed a little funny. Lei Yuan immediately recognized him. Isn't this Deng Tong?

In an instant, Lei Yuan felt awe of the seriously ill person on the bed. Even if he could not compare with those heroes who fought all over the world, Lei Xu was still able to occupy one side in this troubled times and stand for decades. How could he be a simple person? Although he was old and sick, no longer as powerful as he was back then, in this mountain camp, no one could deceive him, and no one could fight against his authority. He had proved this with the most violent means.

"See?" Lei Xu asked.

"yes."

"Tell me, what do you want to deal with him." Lei Xu gasped and said slowly.

Lei Yuan turned his head to look at Deng Tong, pondering silently. Under Lei Yuan's calm gaze, the expression of this man's face changed, and there was a change of embarrassment, anger and unwillingness, and finally gradually showed a look of despair... Lei Yuan really didn't know that this tough man would have such a bright and agile expression. But Deng Tong always knelt in the corner, not daring to move a little, and even dared to ask for pleading.

"It's just a misunderstanding, and Deng Quchang was also kind-hearted. Where can I talk about it?" Lei Yuan turned around and said slowly.

Lei Xu reached out and patted the side edge of the bed, as if he was sneering, but only the sound of wind that was as thick and hoarse as if the bellows were sucking out of his throat. After a while, he heard him murmuring: "Okay... OK!"

Lei Yuan remained silent.

"Deng Tong!" Lei Xu shouted loudly.

"Here!" Deng Tong walked forward and kowtowed for a few times.

"Since it's a misunderstanding, go! Go!"

"Thank you General! Thank you Young Master!" Deng Tong responded ecstatically. He didn't dare to get up, so he bent down and stepped back, passing directly under the curtain, as if he almost tripped by the threshold when he pushed open the door.

The heavy footsteps went away, and Lei Xu nodded to his second son: "Deng Tong is a fool, but now it is the time to use people, and he is better than others in leading troops; I am very pleased that you can not care about him."

This sudden praise made Lei Yuan feel a little uncomfortable. He shook his head and said, "This is a trivial matter."

Lei Xu frowned slightly. Although he was not close to his second son, it did not mean that he lacked understanding. Unlike what the outside world knew, Lei Xu knew that Lei Yuan was a man with a grove of groves, but the various inconsistencies between father and son made his son never easily express his feelings in front of his father.

"Two days ago, the scout cavalry sent by us clashed with the scattered team of Cao's army. Although several people were damaged, they caught a living person. According to the living person's account, three days ago, a small team of cavalry attacked Cao Gong's team and shot Cao Gong's umbrella. Cao Gong was unhappy and ordered the entire army not to be impatient, and they must be cautious and marching slowly..." Lei Xu stared at Lei Yuan: "Three days ago, there were no one else except you. Did you do this?"

"yes."

Lei Xu sighed: "It's too dangerous."

"The situation was forced at that time, if it were not the case, I would be difficult to get out of it." Lei Yuan shook his head.

"No matter what, this is a great achievement. This move has won us time to mobilize troops and made our response calmer. Deng Tong is right. When you come back, I was indeed summoning the generals to discuss and arrange it until now... I, a father, never knew that my child would be so brave and bold, haha." Lei Xu pondered for a while and suddenly chuckled.

The laughter seemed to make the atmosphere in the room a little looser. The two of them did not seem to be as unhappy as many times in the past. But this gentler atmosphere made Lei Yuan feel a little uncomfortable. He bowed his head slightly to avoid Lei Xu's sight.

"Xin Bin just advised me." Lei Xu continued: "He said that no matter whether the Lei clan will surrender to Wuhou or Liu Yuzhou in the future, he will always look for food under the wings of others, and he will not be able to go alone like he is now. In this case, if you brothers and others have achieved success, you can help each other. I think Mr. Xin has made some sense. In addition, you have been indulging in a long time. Do something steadily these days, let me see how to arrange for you in the future... Xin Bin will come to find you tomorrow, and you can listen to him."

"Okay." Lei Yuan nodded and simply answered a word.

Lei Xu stared at his second son, as if he wanted to see a happy expression on his face, but he never saw anything. If it were Lei Yuan in the past, he might be happy because of what Lei Xu said, but now, Lei Yuan believes that everything depends on his own strength to fight for. He is no longer the boy who is worried about gains and losses due to the father-son relationship.

Lei Yuan's cold response was something Lei Xu didn't expect. He thought about it and decided to give Lei Yuan a few more words; however, a mouthful of thick phlegm suddenly surged into his throat, which made him very uncomfortable, so he cleared his throat suddenly and coughed loudly. The maid took a few steps forward, and carefully wiped his beard with a soft cloth dipped in hot water. As he wiped it, Lei Xu let out a comfortable sigh, and his head slowly drooped, as if he was a little sleepy.

The maid was a little at a loss and smiled apologetically at Lei Yuan.

Lei Yuan nodded slightly and stood and waited quietly.

After a while, Lei Xu suddenly woke up. He straightened his upper body and said angrily: "Your leader of the personal guard is called Wang, or something. He came back three days ago to report the news. The sentry cavalry sent out later will take a few days to communicate. Why did you come back today? When the military situation is so urgent, where did you go? Hum? Are you so lazy, aren't you afraid of military law?"

What's going on?

Lei Yuan didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Bastard! Why don't you talk?" Lei Xu muttered, as if he cursed a few more words, but Lei Yuan couldn't hear clearly what he wanted to express.

Lei Yuan was trying hard to think about how he should answer, but suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and realized a very terrible fact. So he frowned and looked at the maid and asked sternly: "Have the sect master often done this recently?"

The maid's face was pale, showing a look of about to cry. After a while, she said: "Occasionally... these days, the doctor prescribed a potion to calm the mind, and after taking it, it would be fine."

"Then what are you doing here? Why don't you go and call the doctor? Go!" Lei Yuan shouted.

The maid rushed to the back hall.

"Come! Come!" Lei Yuan raised his voice and shouted loudly.

The cry alarmed the people outside the door. The main door was suddenly pushed open by huge force, and Xie Mu and the Fan brothers squeezed and collided with each other. No one was willing to take a step back and finally rushed into the room. With their movements, two door leaves hit the wall and made a loud bang.

The Fan brothers immediately protected Lei Yuan. It seemed that in the hearts of the two brothers, the conflict between Lei Yuan and his father was inevitable, without exception. The two of them expressed their ability to stand on their own side and fight against the majestic sect leader, which made Lei Yuan feel a little moved.

Xie Mu ran to Lei Xu's couch first, then turned around and looked at Lei Yuan, and then looked at the Fan brothers who were facing a great enemy. His face was instantly deteriorated, and he showed a panic and ashamed look.

Lei Xu completely ignored the others, and he still muttered to himself, immersed in his emotions. Lei Yuan sighed and took a few steps forward. Xie Mu hesitated for a moment, took a little step back, and let Lei Yuan hold Lei Xu's shoulders, allowing the nonsense old man to lie down slowly.

At this time, the previous maid led several doctors and hurried in from the back hall with decoctions and other things. As a son, he should serve him without hesitation, but Lei Yuan felt that he did not need to do so. He first stepped back and gave up the place for the doctors to do it. Then he stepped out of the open door and closed the door with his backhand.

Xie Mu hurriedly chased Lei Yuan out.

At this time, another personal guard leader named Liu Ling also arrived here. Seeing Lei Yuan standing in the courtyard, Liu Ling was slightly stunned, and then waved his hand to let the subordinates stand farther away. As a close friend of Lei Xu for many years, Liu Ling had had many times of dealing with Lei Yuan, and was considered familiar... He was even one of the few people who were more friendly to Lei Yuan; but for some reason, Liu Ling strongly felt that the young man in front of him was very different from the weak image he had used to, and could not be treated with slight carelessly.

After all, the person in front of him is the son of the sect leader! Perhaps he was not valued by the sect leader before, but no one dared to be sure of what the sect leader is doing. Who can explain the future affairs clearly?

"Little Langjun..." Liu Ling couldn't help but kneel on one knee, speaking a little, but he didn't know what to say to Lei Yuan next. Beside him, Xie Mu hesitated for a moment and finally bowed down.

"I have no intention of blaming you both. I just want to confirm the condition of my next father; in addition, do anyone else know about this except two of you?" Lei Yuan sighed and asked slowly.

By the time Lei Yuan left, it was already late at night.

Wang Yan was worried about waiting in his own courtyard and personally brought people to greet him. On the way, he ran into Lei Yuan who was turning back.

"Little Langjun..." He wanted to ask, but was stopped by Lei Yuan's powerful gesture.

He could only follow Lei Yuan and turn to see Fan Hong and Fan Feng. He saw that the two brothers who had always been a little jumping looked serious. Wang Yan approached and had not spoken yet. Fan Hong shook his head and made a move to cover his mouth.

"Uncle Yan, I will pack my bags tomorrow morning and we are leaving." Lei Yuan suddenly said.
