In an inn in three hundred places outside Jianglian City.

Ye Chu was lying on the wooden bed in the inn, which was not very luxurious, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

With the strength of the three of them, it is not difficult to travel three hundred miles in one day and night, and it can even be said that it is easy and tight, but Ye Chu looks very tired.

He rolled over and over on the bed, the wooden bed creaking with a disgruntled sound.

A few autumn mosquitoes are waving their wings and making disturbing dreams with extremely fast vibrations.

Ye Chu sat up abruptly and looked at Senior Brother Wen Qian who was lying on the other side.

"Senior brother, you are a little irritable. Wen Qian, who was so noisy that he couldn't sleep, finally spoke.

"Yes, senior brother. ”

"Why are you irritable?"

"Because of what Senior Brother just said. ”

"Huh, what did I say?"

"About Master's Name......"

Before going to bed, Ye Chu asked a few questions, about the identity of his master and brother, Wen Qian only said, "Tomorrow, you can ask Master yourself." ”

"Then at least I have to know my master's name, right?

Wen Qian thought to himself, anyway, there was nothing to hide, so he told him the name of the white-headed old man.

"I didn't expect that Aunt Chu wanted me to find someone to find him?" Ye Chu thought to himself.

couldn't sleep, so he simply got up and went to business, Ye Chu immediately turned over and got out of bed, opened the door and walked to the next room.

Seeing Ye Chu like this, Wen Qian rejoiced: "I can finally get a good night's sleep." ”

In the corridor, Ye Chu was hesitant, hesitating whether he should go to him at this time to ask for an explanation.

"Come in. An old voice came from inside the room.

Walking into the room in a daze, Ye Chu saw a moonlight shining through the window in the middle of the room, shining on the extremely powerful long sword.

"Master, why haven't you gone to bed so late?"

"What is the matter with coming to find a teacher in the middle of the night?"

"I just heard some things that my senior brother said, and I want to ask the teacher about some things. ”

"Hmm, but it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

Ye Chu stared at the old man's vicissitudes of life and said, "Master, I heard from Senior Brother that your name is 'Du Gong'?"

"Hmm. ”

As the words fell, the audience fell silent.

Du Gong slowly opened his mouth and said, "It seems that you know something?"

It's only been five months, how can you forget?

"I have a lot of things to ask. ”

"I know, just ask. ”

"Did you know I have two adoptive parents?"

"Well, I know. ”

"Then I want to know, who are they?"

"Who are my birth parents?"

"Who are you, and why did you take me as an apprentice as soon as we met?"

"And, I...... Who is it?"

The weather in early autumn is not very cold, but it is still a little cool when the wind blows into the house in the middle of the night.

Du Gong spoke, his voice sounding a little hoarse, like a slightly dry earth.

The evening breeze disturbs the sycamore leaves in front of the door, and the rustling sound is accompanied by the clear autumn.

His eyes looked out the window, but his gaze seemed to fall on a distant place that he didn't know how far away.

"Your real name is Xiang Yunzhi, and you are the prince of the Great Chu Kingdom. ”

Xiang Yunzhi, the prince of Chu State?

Ye Chu's face was full of shock, he looked at the white-headed old man in front of him in a daze, and couldn't say a word.

Although the teachers in the township school didn't know much about the history of Qin's annihilation of the Four Kingdoms, under the narration of Liu Botao and Chu Yunhui, Ye Chu was naturally familiar with it.

Twenty years ago, the Qin State took the lead in attacking the Jin State, and the Jin general Li Mu built a fortress to hold on, which made the Qin army fight hard.

The second annihilated Yan State was already poor and weak, and Prince Yan saw that the Qin army was irresistible, so he once sent a dead soldier to assassinate him, and after the dagger appeared, Emperor Qin was furious and personally led an army of 400,000 to conquer it in one fell swoop.

As for the state of Qi, there were more than 70 cities when they were destroyed, and there was especially the strength of a war, but Qi was corrupt from top to bottom, and the king of Qi was even more stupid, so he actually opened the city and surrendered, and after Emperor Qin accepted the surrender, the king of Qi starved to death.

On the other hand, the state of Chu had a territory of 5,000 miles at that time, nearly one million people from top to bottom of the country, and the monarchs and ministers were united, and the national strength was not strong, but in the end it was still lost to Huanghuang Daqin.

Probably this is the destiny of heaven.

Because the Qin State is located outside the Guan, it has always been regarded as outside the Central Plains, so the scholars of the Chu State always cry something like "the Central Plains is sinking", but under the high-pressure rule of the Qin Emperor, many of those who dared to say this took the road of entering the ground early.

It's just that he didn't expect that these histories, which he once thought were just very far away, were actually closely related to him.

"I've seen Qin Xiao's secret report and seen the portraits of your adoptive parents, so I'll know it's them. ”

"The two people who raised you, one is my chief of the Great Chu Tiger Guard, Liu Botao, who was once known as the 'Jiangdong Tiger', and as for the woman, she is your biological mother's sister-in-law, named Chu Yunhui. Your father does not want to be the son of heaven and live and die with the imperial city. At that time, the two of them were also in the imperial city, and it must have been your parents who entrusted you to them as a child. ”

"My name is Du Gong, and I am your father, that is, the emperor of my Great Chu Emperor, when the imperial city was broken, I was fighting Qin on the front line on the other side. ”

"Since the battle of Shouchun, I have been disheartened, but I thought of you who did not know where to go, so I secretly began to investigate your whereabouts while continuing to resist Qin. And so it was, fourteen years passed. ”

"Qin Wei is the secret service of the Qin Emperor, and I will naturally pay more attention to its every move. That time Qin Wei poured out of the nest, I thought about whether it was because of you, but when I arrived, I only saw a piece of scorched earth. ”

"After that, I sensed Bi Fang's appearance in the southwest area, so I came to look for it, and went to Jianyumen to inquire about the news. ”

"Bi Fang, what is that?" Ye Chu was puzzled, but it was not easy to interrupt.

"But I recognized the name 'Ye Chu' in the roster of the Sword Rain Gate from other places, so I guessed it was you. ”

"Your mother's real surname is Ye, plus a single 'Chu' character. ”

"How much is Chu used in the name? In addition, after the death of the Great Chu, I don't know how many people who have left the people to miss their homeland! Zhang Chu and Wang Chu can be seen everywhere, and the name 'Chu' alone may not be nothing, but with your surname, there are some possibilities. ”

"Not many people know your mother's surname, and using your mother's surname will not attract attention. ”

When Ye Chu heard this, he was a little puzzled.

"Is it too hasty to determine my identity based on a name?"

Du Gong explained: "How can you tell by name alone? ”

"But the moment I saw you, I determined who you were. ”

"You look more like your mother, but those eyes are exactly the same as your father's. ”
