Chapter 44: Gongzi Chu's Determination
A horsewhip resounded through the silent night. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The sound of the horse's hooves sounded very quickly, and a single horse galloped towards the palace, with a white cloth tied to the horse's head, and a figure wearing a broken silver armor, covered in blood.
"Knock ......"
"Knock ......"
"Knock ......"
The death knell is ringing!
Gongzi Chu suddenly stood up from the bookcase, the book in his hand fell to the ground, and he muttered, "How is this possible?"
He didn't care to change into a neat robe, so he went up to the main hall wearing a single robe.
The hall has been pressed and knelt on the ground, mourning all over the field.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down ......"
"Where's my father!?" Gongzi Chu anxiously pulled up and knelt on the ground with a bloody father-in-law, "What about others?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Father-in-law Chang couldn't help but shed tears and said, "The first emperor is gone!"
Tremblingly, he took out a solid item wrapped in red golden satin stained with blood from under his broken silver shirt and handed it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Gongzi Chu took it, opened it and saw that it was the jade seal of the country!
"No, it's impossible?" Gongzi Chu couldn't believe it, "What about my father? Are you lying to me?" In Gongzi Chu's memory, his father was a hero of the human race, defending his family and defending the country, and he had never failed once, he was a hero of the world since he was a child.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, please accept the order!" Father-in-law Chang couldn't bear to look at Gongzi Chu's appearance, he knelt on the ground, kowtowed heavily, held a scroll of Zhao Shu in both hands, and said, "Please Your Royal Highness the Prince, accept the order!"
Gongzi Chu's eyes were red, he pounced, and knelt down.
"Succession Son Chu!"
The edict is very short, if you look closely, it is a few vain handwriting, without the vigor of Gongzi Wu's past, the handwriting is sloppy, and it can be seen that it is the end of life.
"Your Majesty, please accept the order!" Chang Gonggong knelt on the ground and pleaded again.
"......" Gongzi Chu hesitated, he looked at the edict in Chang's father-in-law's hand in a complicated manner, and then looked at the Taozi people behind him.
Responsibility or freedom?
There was no way for him to answer himself.
Father-in-law Chang kowtowed again, took out a small box made of delicate spirit stones from his arms, and handed it to Gongzi Chu Dao, "This is the last divine consciousness of the first emperor......
Gongzi Chu took it tremblingly and opened it.
A burst of green light instantly poured into his body.
Countless fragments rang in his head.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, it's a prince!"
Gongzi Wu looked at the round child in his hand, and his heart burst with joy. "Hahaha, good, good! I will give the name Gongzi Chu!"
"This is my human race, the next heir!"
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" Gongzi Chu deeply felt the joy that surged in his heart.
"Father, the son doesn't want to inherit the position of the emperor, the son just wants the green mountains and green waters, travel everywhere, and seek the way to become an immortal!"
When Gongzi Chu was a teenager, his eyes were burning, and he knelt on the ground and prayed, "Father, you are the great hero in my heart, no one can do better than you, Erchen can't surpass you! I don't want to become you! Erchen wants to pursue his own path!"
After leaving, Gongzi Chu never came back.
For countless days and nights, Gongzi Wu came to Gongzi Chu's residence alone, and sat quietly like this, Gongzi Chu could clearly feel his amazement at this moment.
"Ahem, ahem!" Childe coughed violently, and his left chest was pierced by a sharp sword.
"Your Majesty!" Chang Gonggong kept wiping his body with water on the side.
"It's too late. Childe said, "After all, it's time!"
"Your Majesty, if you hold on, you'll be fine!" Chang Gonggong moved more quickly on the side, and the basins of blood and water were constantly changing.
"My body, I know it myself, but I'm afraid I'm sorry for the common people in this battle. ”
"I'll ask the imperial doctor to draw your sword for you!" Chang Gonggong turned around to leave, but Gongzi Wu grabbed him, "It's just the end of the strong crossbow, help me get the edict!"
"......" Chang Gonggong endured the stinging pain in his heart and presented a volume of edicts.
Gongzi Wu supported himself with encouragement, held the pen tremblingly in his right hand, and wrote these big characters on the edict,
Succession of the son of Chu
"Ahem, ahem, ahem!" Childe coughed, blood spilling from his mouth.
"Report!"
The general rushed in, his right hand was broken, and blood was gushing, "Your Majesty, you can't hold on." You go first! The minister will escort you back to the palace desperately!"
Gongzi Wu looked at the general calmly, pulled out the sword on his body with all his strength, and the blood spurted out at once, but his heart was not afraid, he sealed his bloodline with spiritual power, and said, "Let's go, would you like to fight with me again?"
"Your Majesty!
Gongzi Wu finally sealed a wisp of his divine consciousness in the box he carried, he handed his divine sense and jade seal to Chang Gonggong, and said, "Give them to Chu'er, I believe that he will do better than me in this world......! How can I bear it, he is my proudest son! How do you let me choose? For the sake of the common people, I can only be ruthless and pass on to him. ”
Gongzi Wu put on his robe again, his back was so lonely, but his back was so straight, "If I can, I really hope that I can live forever and support this human race, so that my son can achieve the same ideals as me, instead of the same fate as me! Freedom! This is the farthest word from me! If I can, I really hope to hold up another sky for him!"
"Your Majesty!"
"Someone, pass on the order, escort Chang Gonggong back to Beijing!"
"Your Majesty!!"
This last sky is beautiful. Childe Wu took one last look at the sky and smiled. This may also be a different kind of freedom!
A sharp sound pierced the night sky,
"Your Majesty!"
Countless screams rang out!
A tall figure fell from the sky, lifeless!
Gongzi Chu was already in tears, his hand holding the divine consciousness in his hand, and tears flowed down his face.
One of the last images flashed through his mind.
"My son, you don't have to think that you are inferior to me, you are my son, my proudest son, I believe and always believe that you can do better than me!
"The secret you want to know, after you become the emperor of men, when the war is over, you go to him! The strongest man in the past, he will sit in the place where the heavenly race and the human race meet, and at that time, you will know everything!"
"If there is an afterlife, I want to still be your father, this is probably the proudest thing in my life!"
The consciousness slowly extinguished, and there was no longer a trace of light.
"No......" Gongzi Chu's face was full of tears, "No......" His voice was suffocating, and his heart ached, if he did it all over again, he would not let the last meeting between himself and his father end in an endless quarrel......
His hand trembled and stretched out to the jade seal, his voice was hoarse but firm, he knelt down and said, "The child takes the order!"
"See Your Majesty!" Chang Gonggong led the crowd to kneel at his feet.
Perhaps from that moment on, he chose the most difficult path in the world. And his freedom, green mountains and clear waters...... It's just a thing of the past......
