Xiang Liang was sitting on his couch, gently stroking the smaller machine bird with a complicated expression.
Big brother...this person already feels a bit strange to him.
But suddenly a man came to the door with two older boys, saying that he was his eldest brother's son, and...
Only my eldest brother can make this kind of mechanical bird.
Those are the few clear memories of the three brothers when they were young. The eldest son, as a military general, liked to play with these things. The eldest brother was often disliked and scolded by his father when he was a child. His father, who was completely disappointed in him, even used him as a hostage.
I was sent to Xianyang with my escort, and there was no news from him after that.
Unexpectedly now...
"Um?"
After gently touching the head of the machine bird Zhixiang twice, Xiang Liang found that the head of the machine bird seemed to be able to rotate.
After twisting a little and realizing that it was a mechanism rather than damage, Xiang Liang didn't think much and turned the mechanism bird's head 180 degrees.
Kaka——ka——
The sound of the machine came, and the machine bird's eyes seemed to move twice. Xiang Liang was startled and felt a little strange.
The bird's head twisted back with the sound of gears, and slowly floated up.
Words emerge out of thin air.
Xiang Liang just stared blankly, seeming to understand something, but more importantly, he was still surprised.
"My brother Xiang Liang, when you see this message I left, Wen Ju should have already sent Xiang Yu and Xiang An to Kuaiji."
"Brother..." A vague bad feeling flashed through Xiang Liang's heart.
When the weird black-faced ghost brought Xiang Yu and Xiang An, Xiang Liang found that the two brothers were in a trance. He didn't know the answer to anything he asked, and his eyes were dull, so he had to put the two brothers down first, and then
I came back and slowly thought about the machine bird that Xuanmiangui gave me, and then...
"Please don't think about where I am, and don't look for it, because by this time, I should be dead, maybe for a while."
"What-" Xiang Liang stood up suddenly.
"Calm down, I did not die in vain, but I lived my life according to my own will and died without regrets."
"No need to feel sad for me, just take care of Xiang Yu and Xiang An for me."
Xiang Liang stood there blankly, looking at a loss, a little sad, but more at a loss.
In front of him, the words were still appearing.
"Help me bury Wen Ju, he is one of the few friends I have outside."
Xiang Liang couldn't help but look outside the door.
He also realized that the mysterious ghost was Wen Ju.
Now Wen Ju's body is lying quietly in the woodshed of Xiang's house, and has not been processed yet.
"He brought my children from outside the customs to Kuaiji. It's hard work for him, and it's time for him to have a good rest."
"in addition......"
"If you want to do something, my two children will be your best help."
"My eldest son's name is Xiang Ji, with the courtesy name Yu, and my second son's name is Xiang Nuo, with the courtesy name An. They will leave it to you."
"Farewell, my brother Xiang Liang, please comfort my father for me, saying that the child is unfilial, and say hello to Uncle Xiang for me."
"farewell."
"Brother--" Xiang Liang looked at the last "Farewell" and couldn't help but want to grasp the ethereal words, but before he could grasp them, the words that appeared out of thin air had disappeared.
His hands dropped weakly and he slumped back to the couch.
The candle is still burning slowly.
Brother, he... is dead?
There are more confusions and more confusions.
Who is Big Brother, and why does he have the ability to write words out of thin air? How did he acquire these abilities?
Also, what does "Guanwai..." mean?
For a time, the somewhat silent and frail Xiang Chao became strange in Xiang Liang's memory.
But...that's the eldest brother after all.
Xiang Liang sighed.
If there is a chance in the future, go and look for the elder brother outside the customs. The elder brother only said that he should be dead, but did not say that he must be dead.
But those two young men...
Xiang Liang put Zhixiang, who had transformed into a bird, on his desk, stood up and walked out, opened the door to a bedroom, and sat beside the bed.
The person lying on the bed sleeping peacefully was one of the two brothers. Xiang Liang didn't know whether it was Xiang Yu or Xiang An, but...
"You really look like a big brother..." He stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to touch this young man's head, but after all, he was still a little unfamiliar.
He sighed slightly, got up and walked out, called a servant to bring a cup of wine, sat on the stage, and drank alone.
And in his bedroom...
The small mechanism bird knew the direction and started to move independently.
The mechanism expanded and reorganized, and Zhixiang's size continued to increase, turning back into the shape of a big bird with a wingspan of one person.
Kaka——
It chirped, jumped down from the desk, flapped its delicate wings made of magic power, flew up again, and flew out of Xiang Liang's window.
Flying towards...the northwest direction.
Xiang Liang, on the other hand, was still melancholy drinking alone under the moonlight, as if he was paying homage to something.
Are you paying homage to your brother whom you have almost never met but who is surrounded by many mysteries?
Not necessarily, maybe it was to commemorate the passing of his father and the passing of Chu State.
He was originally the second son, but now he is taking the lead.
No, maybe it was destined from the beginning that he would take the lead.
As for Xiang Chao, he probably has a more important task that needs to be completed.
...
the next day.
When Xiang Liang got up, he found that the machine bird was missing, but after thinking about it for a while, he decided not to think about it.
Maybe it was other arrangements made by my wonderful brother.
On the other side, Xiang Yu and Xiang An had already woken up.
The two brothers had broken free from the semi-trance state they had experienced yesterday, had finished changing their clothes, and were waiting in the front hall after eating the breakfast arranged by Xiang Liang in an extremely unaccustomed manner.
While Xiang Liang was walking, he met another young man who looked somewhat similar to him.
"Second brother, get up and practice?"
This is Xiang Liang's third brother and the youngest of Xiang Yan's three children, named Xiang Bo.
Xiang Bo's name is quite strange. Generally speaking, Bo, Zhong and Shu Ji are the order in which people name their children. However, Xiang Bo, the third son, chose the character "Bo" that can only be used by the eldest brother.
No one knew what Xiang Yan was thinking. Xiang Liang just glanced at his brother and nodded.
"I heard that eldest brother sent his son back?" Xiang Bo still listened to the news and came to inquire early in the morning.
"It's in the front hall." Xiang Liang pointed and walked towards the front hall.
"Why did the eldest brother suddenly send the child back, and...is it really the eldest brother's child?" There was a little worry on Xiang Bo's face, "And I heard that those two boys are Xuan Mian.
It was sent by a ghost, so I feel a little worried."
"It doesn't matter, it is indeed the eldest brother's child. I have confirmed it." There was no doubt in Xiang Liang's tone. He has controlled the Xiang family for several years, and his majesty is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. "You will know it when you see it."
