The poor water land in the west of Bingzhou, the mountains and forests are foggy, and it is known as the Jedi of the dead.

I heard that there are also supernatural beasts entrenched there, there are hermit masters who inhabit it, and the mountains are trapped in evil, and nine times out of ten those who enter cannot come out safely.

Xu Qingzhou went here to find someone, wanting to finish the sword competition with Jing Yishan, and then realize that he had taken that step.

Chen Jingcang separated from him after he went ashore in the state. Some people live to know what they want and what they should do, he Xu Qingzhou lives for the sword in this life, maybe he dies for the sword in the future, Chen Jingcang will not persuade anything, although some persistence is stupid, it is also respectable.

And the state of Chu Wangfu, the king of Chu became famous together with the first emperor Chen Jie, and the two of them laid down the country together, and they were the only king of the opposite sex in the dynasty.

The four sons of the King of Chu were all killed in battle, and the remaining daughter was Chen Jingcang's mother, who was the queen of a country and had also disappeared.

After the age of sixtieth birthday, he was alone, but fortunately, he was often accompanied by Chen Feizhu over the years, so that the old man would not be single in the huge Chu Palace.

A few years ago, he could often go to the palace in the capital to walk around and talk to his daughter, since Chu Luoli died, the old man has become more lonely, and His Majesty the Emperor has also proposed to let Chu Bayue move to Chang'an to live, but the old man refused on the grounds that his homeland is difficult to give up.

When Chen Jingcang walked into the palace where he used to play with Chen Feizhu when he was a child, he felt even more uncomfortable. There was a man who taught him to learn the Analects, a man who taught him to play swords and guns, and a man who taught him to play Go.

The old man who taught him to play with knives and guns is still alive.

The palace sat on a very wide ground, and the king of Chu was shocked by his merits, but none of the old man's knees were alive, and they were all killed and injured in that decades-long war. has a daughter and a grandson who are also the queen and prince of the imperial family, and all the structures of the palace are beyond the scale of ordinary palaces.

If there is no one to lead the way when entering the palace, I am afraid that even if you walk for a day, you may not be able to find the room where the king of Chu rests.

There is a bamboo forest in the palace of the king of Chu, covering an area of 1,000 acres. There are more than 10 kinds of bamboos planted in the bamboo forest, there are purple bamboo, green bamboo, and the unique iron gray bamboo in Liaodong, etc., the bamboo forest is the garden where Chen Feizhu and Chen Jingcang liked to play together when they were young, often hiding in it, hiding for a day, and not having to eat and drink anything, just feel full of interest.

Walking into the palace, Chen Jingcang saw an old man coming towards him, and the old man's eyes lit up when he saw Chen Jingcang and said, "The little young master is back!"

The steward Xie Ningyuan, who was the personal guard of the King of Chu back then, often took Chen Jingcang to ride a big bull when he was a child, Chen Jingcang also smiled, stepped forward and said, "Grandpa Xie, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

"Stains. Xie Ningyuan stepped forward and put his hands on Chen Jingcang's shoulders, his eyes were full of smiles: "I haven't seen you for three or four years, my body is hard, not bad." Liangzhou is really a good place to sharpen people. Xie Ning looked Chen Jingcang up and down, and then saw Chen Feizhu who had entered the palace out of the corner of his eye: "Xiaozhu is back." ”

"Hello Grandpa Xie. Chen Feizhu saluted respectfully.

"Good, good. The old man was full of smiles, and the wrinkled old face was forced to smile at a flower called warmth.

"Hurry in, I'll get someone ready for dinner. Xie Ningyuan took Chen Jingcang with one hand and Chen Feizhu with the other hand and walked to the palace, and when he walked into the palace, he was planted with a unique color pear in Bingzhou, which was not a common fruit tree, and could only produce small flowers, which was Chu Luoli's favorite wildflower during his lifetime, because he loved it very much, the king of Chu transplanted some of this wildflower into the palace.

Walk through the front yard of the colorful pear blossom to the palace.

In recent years, the renovation and expansion of the palace has been a little different from when he was young, but some of the flowers and plants in the palace have not changed much over the years, Chen Jingcang has his own unique courtyard here, and there is a couplet written by him in front of the door in the courtyard, which is still hung on both sides of the door.

Because they would have to wait a while to eat, Chen Jingcang and Chen Feizhu went back to their respective courtyards to wash up.

The maid Xiaoqi had already prepared bath water for Chen Jingcang, Chen Jingcang waved his hand to signal that Xiao Qi didn't have to fetch water for himself to take a bath, Chen Jingcang was wounded by a sword, how could he touch the water.

shouted Xiao Qi into the room, took off his coat, took off only a pair of shorts, and asked Xiao Qi to wipe his body with hot water, the maid Xiao Qi saw that Chen Jingcang's body was wrapped in gauze, and there were faint traces of blood oozing, his eyes turned red all of a sudden, and his lips trembled and said, "Young Master, why have you been injured so much." As he spoke, tears flowed down his face.

Chen Jingcang smiled bitterly: "Let's not talk about this first, first help the young master and I wipe my body, this is the beginning of spring, the weather is really a little cold, you help the young master wipe his body first, and the young master will tell you." ”

Xiao Qi helped Chen Jingcang remove layers of gauze with tears, and slowly helped Chen Jingcang wipe his body with a hot and humid towel, the tears kept falling again, Chen Jingcang also looked innocent, and after helping Chen Jingcang wipe his body with ointment, he helped Chen Jingcang wrap gauze, the girl wrapped Chen Jingcang's chest, the girl's breath hit Chen Jingcang's chest, it was a little hot and itchy, Chen Jingcang said with a smile: "Okay, Xiaoqi, hurry up and finish wrapping the young master, the young master is a little cold." ”

Xiao Qi sped up the speed of bandaging Chen Jingcang's wounds.

When Chen Jingcang finished bandaging, when he went out of the room, he saw that Chen Feizhu had already changed his clothes and was standing outside the door waiting for him, his clothes had changed, but the red rope in his hair and the bow on his wrist were still there.

Chen Feizhu's eyes swept to the red eyes of the maid Xiaoqi, and there was no other expression on his face and said, "Grandpa Xie is already waiting for us." After saying that, a person turned to leave, Chen Jingcang walked a few steps quickly and said, "When will grandpa come back?"

Chen Feizhu didn't turn around, still walked forward, and said: "I don't know, the grandfather who received the message the day before yesterday didn't say when he would come back, and it will take seven or eight days to get from here to the capital, and he should come back in half a month at most."

You can return to the palace at the beginning of April, and the injuries on your body also need to be healed quickly, or if you don't wait for your grandfather to come back, according to his temperament, I am afraid that you will have to go to Liaodong to fight with people. ”

Chen Jingcang nodded, after dinner, Chen Jingcang learned from Xie Ningyuan's mouth the exact date when Chu Bayue returned to the palace, which was not bad as Chen Feizhu expected.

The night and early morning in Bingzhou are general, and the days of spring are always a little cool, probably Chen Jingcang feels that the injuries on his body have not healed, and he should not feel a little cold according to his physical fitness.

After dinner, Chen Jingcang sat alone in the courtyard looking at a few purple bamboos transplanted by Chen Feizhu from the bamboo forest, holding a pot of brewed tea, drinking it slowly, and the maid Xiaoqi was looking at Chen Jingcang with an expectant look at what he was looking forward to.

Chen Jingcang looked at Xiao Qi's resentful face staring at himself with brilliance, and the old god took a sip of tea and said: "It's not that the young master is bragging with you, the young master can be regarded as a martial arts master now, one person can fight a hundred, oh no, it's two hundred." Looking at Xiao Qi's shocked gaze, Chen Jingcang was full of pride and continued: "You also know that people can not be stabbed when they are floating in the rivers and lakes. Young master, I naturally have to go through wind and rain and fight in the rivers and lakes, so in order to become a high-roller in the rivers and lakes that everyone will be in awe of in the future, this little injury is nothing. ”

Chen Jingcang took another sip of water and said: "Didn't I tell you back then that I was a person who wanted to become a hero, and when the young master made a greater reputation in the rivers and lakes, he could take you to go on a great adventure." ”

Xiao Qi's eyes gradually turned into yearning, looking forward to it, Chen Jingcang even said: "If I become the leader of the martial arts alliance on the rivers and lakes in the future, I will definitely crown you as a generation of heroines." You'll be able to roam the world on your own. ”

Xiao Qi smiled and blossomed.

Chen Jingcang and the maid Xiaoqi bragged indiscriminately about how to create a great reputation in the rivers and lakes in the future, how to find a few fairy heroines to travel around the rivers and lakes together, boasting that it was a complacent, silly girl Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment, expressing support for the young master, but thinking of the injuries suffered by the young master and feeling a little sad, and even more felt that it was so dangerous to break into the rivers and lakes, why not live leisurely in the palace, why go out and suffer so serious injuries for some fame.

Chen Jingcang solemnly held Xiao Qi's shoulders and said, "Xiao Qi, how can you understand a man's pursuit." After saying that, he couldn't help but laugh.

Xiao Qi retorted: "Are the rivers and lakes bigger than the world?"

Chen Jingcang suddenly fell silent, stopped talking, and the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually converged.

Yes, is this river and lake bigger than the world?

Since this world will be his own in the future, why should he go so hard to break through, Chen Jingcang couldn't help but think like this, but when he saw the few colorful pear blossoms planted in the corner of the yard, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

Although this river and lake is not as big as this world, but outside the rivers and lakes, what kind of world will the rivers and lakes be, and where will there be places where he still can't point fingers after becoming an emperor one day?

He doesn't want to be like this, if he can't make a name for himself in the current rivers and lakes, if he can't come out on top in the current rivers and lakes, then what he will face in the future will still be like mountains and seas, which will discourage Chen Jingcang.

Although the world is big, the rivers and lakes are also far away, and some places in his hands can't be touched after all, so why not walk through such rivers and lakes yourself.

Walk up to the highest point of this river and lake, walk out of this river and lake, and ask the rivers and lakes above the rivers and lakes if there are some debts to be repaid?

Xiao Qi looked at Chen Jingcang's gradually darkening face and thought that Chen Jingcang was a little angry by his words, so he couldn't help but gently pull Chen Jingcang's cuffs, his face was a little nervous.

Chen Jingcang came back to his senses and saw Xiao Qi's face, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Young Master thinks you are right, but some things are not the most important result, and the perception and experience of going through it yourself are more precious." ”

Xiao Qi looked at Chen Jingcang blankly, obviously not understanding the meaning of Chen Jingcang's words, so he looked at Chen Jingcang.

Looking at Xiao Qi still puzzled, Chen Jingcang explained: "Let's make an analogy with you, you know that the young master doesn't like to eat fish since he was a child, but the young master likes fishing, so the young master doesn't fish to eat fish, the young master enjoys the fun of fishing." So some things are not done for any purpose, but for certain processes. Got it?"

Xiao Qi nodded with some understanding.
