Chapter 257: Loneliness

Mu Chen also looked at them.

Duan Chenfeng suddenly said, "Mr. Mu, my story has been told, if Mr. Mu wants to kill me, you can do it, I have already ordered the guards, they will not embarrass you"

Bai Bing suddenly took out a dagger from his sleeve, drove it to his neck, and said, "If the emperor wants to die, the concubine is willing to go to Huangquan with the emperor."

Duan Chenfeng lost his voice and said, "Nonsense, what are you doing?" As he spoke, he stepped forward to grab the dagger in Bai Bing's hand.

Bai Bing stood up suddenly, took three steps back, and said, "The emperor should not stop the concubine, the emperor and the concubine have known each other for more than 20 years, how to treat the concubine, how can the concubine not know? ”

As she spoke, tears had already been left, and she continued, "The third brother's feelings for the fifth sister are all in my heart, and I believe that the third brother also understands that the sister is not married to you because of the identity of the third brother, but now that the third brother is going to die, how can the sister live alone?"

Mu Chen said, "Do you really want to die with him?"

Bai Bing said with tears in his eyes, "Bai Bing didn't find a sincere person in the first half of his life, but now he has found it, and he has no regrets when he dies, I just hope that Mr. Mu will fulfill us."

Duan Chenfeng's eyes seemed to be about to stay, and he said, "Fifth sister...", he only said two words, and then he couldn't say any more.

Mu Chen stood up suddenly, clapped his hands and smiled, "Okay, what a pair of hard-working mandarin ducks"

Duan Chenfeng said, "If Mr. Mu wants to do it, let's do it, I only hope that Mr. Mu can let us go to Huangquan together and never be separated."

Mu Chen smiled and said, "You are all dead, so it is unknown whether the prince can successfully ascend the throne, after all, only the two of you know which minister's house the prince is in."

Duan Chenfeng said, "Mr. Ruoki believes in us, and we also trust Mr. Mu"

Mu Chen said, "Do you want me to help the crown prince ascend the throne smoothly?"

Duan Chen's wind said "exactly"

Mu Chen waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I've seen enough of this kind of thing, this kind of thing will not do me any good except bring trouble"

When he came to Bai Bing, he suddenly struck out, snatched Bai Bing's dagger, and said, "Both of you are not low in martial arts, why don't you try to resist?"

Bai Bing was taken aback, and immediately threw himself into Duan Chenfeng's arms and cried bitterly.

Duan Chenfeng sighed and said, "Since I became the emperor, I haven't used my kung fu, I'm afraid that I'm already rusty, not to mention that Mr. Mu's kung fu is not what it used to be, we just ask Mr. Mu to fulfill us."

Mu Chen sighed, turned the dagger around, handed it to Duan Chenfeng, and said, "Forget it, it's too troublesome to find the prince, you should do this kind of thing."

Bai Bing suddenly stopped crying and looked up at Mu Chen with strange eyes.

Duan Chenfeng said, "Mr. Mu, you... What do you mean by that? You don't kill me?"

Mu Chen sighed and said, "If I kill you, how can you go to your prince?"

Duan Chenfeng immediately burst into laughter and bent his knees.

Mu Chen immediately hit Duan Chenfeng's knee with his sword scabbard, and Duan Chenfeng was in pain and stood up straight again.

Mu Chen said, "As a king, how can you kneel casually?"

As he spoke, he put the dagger in Duan Chenfeng's hand.

Bai Bing said, "Thank you, Mr. Mu"

Mu Chen smiled and said, "You're welcome"

Duan Chenfeng said, "Mr. Mu, why..."

Muchen said, "I don't kill you for two reasons, one is that you have such a good relationship, and I am not a person who likes to break up lovers."

Bai Bing's face was a little red, and he buried his head in Duan Chenfeng's arms again.

Duan Chenfeng smiled, hugged Bai Bing's shoulder, and said "Thank you" to Mu Chen.

Mu Chen said, "If you want to thank yourself, if it weren't for the fact that you are a good monarch and loved by the people, I wouldn't have changed my mind."

Duan Chenfeng said, "This is the second point?"

Mu Chen nodded, and said with a smile: "If there are more monarchs like you in this world, maybe the world will be able to enjoy peace forever, if I kill you, wouldn't I be sorry for the people of Dali Kingdom, wouldn't I have become a sinner for the ages?"

Duan Chenfeng seemed to be a little proud, and his body straightened up.

Muchen said, "Okay, I'm leaving"

Duan Chenfeng said, "Wait"

Mu Chen said, "What else is going on?"

Duan Chenfeng let go of Bai Bing's shoulder, and Bai Bing also left his arms.

Duan Chenfeng held a dagger in his left hand and stretched out the index and middle fingers of his right hand.

Hearing only a scream, Duan Chenfeng's two fingers fell.

That voice was Bai Bing's scream.

Mu Chen lost his voice and said, "What are you doing here?"

A cold sweat broke out on Duan Chenfeng's head, and he said, "Since Mr. Mu promised the fourth child to take my life, there must be an answer, and I also know that Mr. Mu never loses his trust in others, so these two fingers should be regarded as an answer."

He gritted his teeth before continuing, "What's more, I won't need these two fingers in the future, and I won't need a single finger."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of cloth, wrapped his severed finger, and handed it to Mu Chen.

Mu Chen took the cloth bag, sighed, and said, "It seems that I let you go, right"

When he walked out of the palace gate, he saw that many imperial doctors were hurrying to treat Duan Chenfeng's injuries.

Mu Chen also hoped that Duan Chenfeng would live up to his expectations and not let himself regret making this decision.

"I want you to promise that within 20 years from now on, you will not send troops to the Central Plains, and you will not provoke a war with any country."

This was what Mu Chen said to Duan Chenfeng before leaving, and it was also the last sentence he said to Duan Chenfeng.

This was the last time he saw Duan Chenfeng.

Later, Duan Chenfeng did not send troops, and Dali did not send troops to the Central Plains for 25 years.

By the time I left the palace, it was already night.

Mu Chen has never been so relaxed, he found a restaurant and got drunk.

None of the other guests knew why Muchen was drunk, but if they did, they would be shocked.

September 1.

After getting drunk, Mu Chen took a bath, changed into new clothes, tied his hair in a bun, rode a foal, and returned to the Western Dynasty.

He had never had it so easy, and he never imagined that this matter would be so easy to solve.

So, some things seem troublesome, but they are easy to solve.

There are many things in life that are unthinkable, and Mu Chen has fully understood this sentence over the years in the rivers and lakes.

Over the years, he has experienced countless joys and cried countless times, but fortunately, he never gave up and persevered.

"Unexpected" is not necessarily a derogatory term.

Isn't life more interesting because of these unexpected things?

On September 6, frost fell.

The weather is getting colder and colder, but Mu Chen's heart is as hot as fire.

He finally rushed back, on the day of the Chung Yeung Festival.

The horse's hooves trampled on the maple leaves and crushed the frost on the leaves.

Mu Chen walked to the old boy's side, looked at the frozen corpse, and suddenly regretted why he hadn't been buried at that time. Maybe he didn't think he'd come back.

But Mu Chen hasn't forgotten him.

Fortunately, it was too cold in recent days, and the corpse did not decompose too much, so Mu Chen dug a pit in the ground and buried the old boy's body.

The tombstone was carved by Mu Chen in the city.

"The Tomb of the Five Absolute Old Boys in Jiangnan"

Mu Chen dug a pit in front of the grave, buried Duan Chenfeng's severed finger, and then erected the tombstone on it.

After he had done all this, he got on his horse, picked up the flask and took a sip of wine, muttering, "This is also an explanation for you"

Then he smiled and snorted, and the horse walked slowly forward.

A maple leaf fell on the grave, was blown up again, and drifted into the distance

Walk all the way to a small bridge.

The gurgling water and the sound of maple leaves rustling make people feel depressed and lonely.

Seeing this scene, Mu Chen suddenly couldn't be happy.

Mu Chen saw a sword boy walking alone on the bridge.

He rode over and smiled, "Do you want me to give you a ride?"

The boy stopped, looked at him in surprise, and said, "Why are you driving me?"

Mu Chen smiled and said, "No, why"

The boy said, "You and I are not friends, so there is no need"

Mu Chen smiled, "Where are you going?"

The boy said, "I said I didn't have to."

Mu Chen smiled, "I just asked, and I didn't say to carry you"

The boy said, "I'm going to the rivers and lakes"

The smile in Mu Chen's eyes suddenly disappeared, and he said, "Jianghu, do you know where Jianghu is?"

The boy said, "I'll always find it."

Mu Chen said, "Are you so sure?"

The boy said, "I only know that someone is already in the rivers and lakes"

Mu Chen said, "Who?"

The young man said, "Mu Chen, Bian Xiaofeng, Lin Hongyue, Hua Miaoru, these people are all in the rivers and lakes, and they are all famous"

Mu Chen didn't know whether to laugh or not now, so he only smiled bitterly.

"You want to be like them?"

The young man said, "Yes, they can find the rivers and lakes, and so can I"

Mu Chen smiled bitterly, "But maybe they don't want to stay in the rivers and lakes at all."

The boy suddenly glared at him with strange eyes, and said, "You know?

Mu Chen hesitated for a long time before he said, "No, I don't know, and I don't know."

The boy said, "Okay, then you shouldn't say these things, you can go"

Mu Chen sighed lightly, "Okay, I'll go"

He didn't want to tell the boy who he was, and he didn't want to change the boy's fate.

Everyone's fate is determined by themselves, and since you have chosen this path, it is better for others not to interfere.

It's best if everything goes naturally.

So Muchen left, and only the boy walked alone.

The sound of horses' hooves was accompanied by the murmur:

Looking back at the golden gate of the jade building. The water is covering the mountains. The wind is rising again, the rain is bad, and the sky is so sad. Maple leaves on both sides of the river. Compete for red and white. The Mid-Autumn Festival is also over, and Chongyang is near, as a traveler to the end of the world.

The autumn elephant is thicker, the autumn wind is colder, and the autumn mood is more remnant.

A maple forest, a tree with fallen leaves, a lonely prodigal son.

There is really no better way to reflect the gloomy loneliness of autumn.

In the spring of the second year, the bleak scene will eventually disappear, but the loneliness and loneliness of the prodigal son will not disperse.

If you are lonely, you have to learn to change that. If you have been lonely for a long time, you will comfort yourself in your heart and let yourself accept loneliness. Over time, you will get used to being alone.

It's not scary to get used to being alone, it's scary that you don't change.

Because habit doesn't mean liking the state, it's only at certain times that you understand how terrible it is to be alone.

It's an understanding that you won't forget for the rest of your life.

If you don't change, you'll never know what's good in the world.

So as soon as you have the opportunity, keep yourself away from loneliness, and it is best to never be in the company of loneliness.
