Chapter 3 The Gears of Fate
"My lord, someone has come to the door." The guards outside cautiously knocked on the door and whispered a message.
"Impossible, how can anyone know that Your Majesty is here to stay?" Chen Ci immediately became murderous, pulled out the long knife on his waist, saluted Ye Daidui, and said. "Your Majesty, go and solve it."
Ye Daiwan grabbed him. "No, let me see, who it is."
Chen Ci couldn't resist her, so he had to guard behind him with murderous vigour, ready to draw his sword and kill the enemy at any time. To be honest, Ye Daiwan didn't know why she insisted so much. She didn't know who the people were outside, but she had a hunch. A good hunch.
I can only hope that her long-lost intuition of a woman who has never been online can be accurate.
She nervously hid behind her, carefully stealing through the gaps and peering at the knocker.
The first snow has melted, and the wind is still slightly cold. Outside the door stood a gray-haired, thin old gentleman, even in such a cold wind, still standing proudly like a red plum, just looking at his side, I couldn't feel the slightest cold.
Tatsumi was still nervously standing in front of him. Even if there is an old man outside, but he has seen the power of the old man brought by Xie Xuan, he is not stupid enough to think that an old person is not a threat. Xie Xuan once brought Zhanxi Daoists, among them, only Jiang Ying and Xu Jingming can compete with one or two. Only by using soldiers can Chen Xi delay the other party's footsteps.
But Ye Daiwan didn't hesitate at all, and the moment she saw this old man, she threw away all her defenses, bypassed Chenxi, and walked out. "Grandfather."
"Twilight." The old man who came was Ye Daiwan's maternal grandfather, Chang Anyu. He smiled kindly at Ye Daidu. Then, under the gaze of everyone, he walked in. As soon as he stepped into the threshold, everyone closed the door to prevent anyone from prying eyes.
Ye Daiwan was about to speak.
But seeing that Chang Anyu didn't hesitate at all, regardless of the slight coldness and coldness of the ground, he knelt in front of Ye Daiwan and said. "Your Majesty."
Ye Daiwan was startled, and she didn't have time to stop it. She quickly squatted down as well, trying to help the other party up. "Don't do that, grandfather, you don't need to bow to me. It's cold and wet on the ground, so please get up quickly. ”
"No, Your Majesty, it's too late. I beg your pardon. Chang Anyu replied with a calm smile. Yes, he can't wait. He couldn't help it even for a moment, he was almost completely dominated by instinct and did what he wanted to do, almost like he did decades ago.
He is Chang Anyu, no matter how the years pass, even if the king of Hades comes to bring people, he will not change himself.
Ye Daiwan was so shocked that she couldn't speak, because she saw her grandfather's eyes. She had seen the things in those eyes many times, from Lu Shushen, from Xie Xuan, from the teacher...... Even in her own eyes.
It was an unwavering gaze, a look that death and fear could not defeat.
"You say." Ye Daiwan sat upright and looked him straight in the eyes.
"Your Majesty, I have three ways to solve your worries." Chang Anyu didn't want to say any polite words, and pointed straight to the center.
Ye Daiwan listened calmly. "Which three?"
"First, put trust. Will Your Majesty give us your life? "My grandfather's question is really sharp. Although Ye Daiwan wanted to reply immediately, she really did so. It's just that she wasn't serious enough and didn't think about it carefully.
And there is no need to seriously inquire about the heart. In fact, Ye Daiwan also knows the answer. But she still thought about it seriously. We? How much does my grandfather mean in this sentence? First of all, it means that there are other people behind her grandfather who are willing to help her.
But it also means an increase in risk. Does she know the rest of the people? Still don't know it? But one thing is for sure, no one in this world deserves complete trust. The teacher said that even she herself sometimes could betray her will.
Whether it's Lu Shushen, the teacher, Jiang Ying, or You'an...... Whether she is or herself, she will be suspicious. It's human nature, no, it's better to say that her stupid, lowly, lowly self can't be trusted.
But that's not okay.
She looked into those eyes. The face has been aged by the years, and wrinkles crawl over the once handsome face like a creeper, but the eyes are still bright, shining with a light that makes people can't bear to take the slightest attention off them. Those were the eyes she had ever seen.
Your Majesty, I believe in you.
"I do." Ye Daiwan replied firmly. "If I can solve the current situation, I am willing to pay with my life."
"I am grateful for His Majesty's willingness to put his trust in it. But Your Majesty, my plan is not just for now. Chang Anyu immediately continued, his eyes smiling. The joy and pride radiated from all over him.
"If I can't even get over it now, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for the future." Ye Daiwan involuntarily used her usual tone, and when she reacted, she remembered that it was her grandfather opposite. "Yes. Please go on. ”
"Then the second point, please allow me to enter the house and explain it to you." It's really time to get old. Chang Anyu's current state is not as good as it was back then, no matter how you say it, he is also over half a hundred years old.
Ye Daiwan was dumbfounded for a moment, but immediately reached out to help. "Grandfather, you really are. The earth is covered with snow. If you freeze your knees, you'll get rheumatism. If your leg hurts, my grandmother will be angry with me. ”
"Your Majesty, you're too nagging." Chang Anyu smiled and comforted her. In fact, his legs had already been frozen and painful, and he was already trembling to the point that he couldn't stand up with his own strength. "Their Li family's nagging, how come His Majesty has also inherited it."
"It's all your fault." Ye Daiwan only felt that her whole body was relaxed. Ah, she's really not good at fighting alone. Ask her to think about the future of everyone alone, she really can't do it. All right. She's just a child, and she can't do anything without someone to rely on.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help the sigh in her throat. She's just so incompetent. Why choose such an incompetent emperor? What the hell does the heavens think? Entrusting a country to someone like her. Could it be that Great Wei can no longer see the future of destiny from this turmoil?
But no. No matter how the history books want to portray the country she has lived, she is never willing to give up the struggle. Because of this history, the people she loves live. How could she easily give up the person she loved?
You have to be strong. Ye Daiwan slapped her face fiercely with both hands. Now is not the time to be frustrated. Lu Shushen was waiting for her.
Maybe she can't be a hero who saves the world, but at the very least, please make her a person who lives up to the trust of her loved ones.
"Your Majesty, I wonder why I found you. Actually, this is related to the first point I said. Chang Anyu took out a token from his arms. Your Majesty knows this. ”
Ye Daiwan looked carefully, but shook her head. She didn't know.
"Your Majesty, this is Gong Xie's token."
Xie Gong? Xie Gong! The token of the world's number one general?
