Chapter 50: Are You Okay in the Distance?
Regarding the years of Cheng Zihao and Chen Linci, if you go in detail about the future, I am afraid that I will not be able to finish talking about the last three days and three nights, Cheng Zihao recalled those past events in his mind, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but overflow with a smile.
The drizzle outside the pavilion in the center of the lake is like hemp, falling on the surface of Jiulong Lake, rippling from the point of light, and the wind blows from outside the pavilion, bringing a trace of coolness, which makes people extra comfortable in the summer heat, but Cheng Zihao's heart is not comfortable.
His mood is not like a summer breeze, but more like those dense large and small ripples on the surface of Jiulong Lake, chaotic and disorganized, which is confusing.
The eldest prince Zhao Tianyi looked at the smile overflowing from the corner of Cheng Zihao's mouth, and said unhappily: "Brother Zihao, what are you laughing at?"
Cheng Zihao came back to his senses, looked at the eldest prince and said, "If you go back to Your Highness, Zihao is proud of Chen Linci." β
Zhao Tianyi smiled and said: "In just one year, you can climb to your current position, you, little brother, are indeed worthy of your pride." β
Zhao Tianyi actually doesn't like Chen Linci, to be exact, he doesn't like anyone who can pose a threat to himself, he knows that this is the person left by his father to the third child, just like when his father ascended the throne, he was accompanied by a national teacher.
He attaches great importance to Chen Linci, and also sent someone to check the details of Chen Linci, knowing many things about Chen Linci, he believes that Chen Linci is really likely to be able to reach the state of the National Normal University in the future, and it is precisely because of this importance that he will choose to take Cheng Zihao into his own hands.
He believes that with Chen Linci's personality and the relationship between him and Cheng Zihao, he will never watch Cheng Zihao have an accident, so he will definitely not continue to work hard for the third child after his father's death.
Zhao Tianyi's guess was not wrong, Chen Linci really wouldn't watch Cheng Zihao have an accident, but in the end, the way he solved the problem was not as Zhao Tianyi thought.
The wind and rain fell and the long night came, and the boat came to the pavilion in the middle of the lake to carry Cheng Zihao out of Jiulong Lake and left the Qingwang Mansion.
......
......
"Is there any relationship between you and the Third Highness?"
In the private room of the carrier restaurant, Cheng Zihao saw Chen Linci as he wished, ordered a few drinks and dishes, he didn't say much, and asked straight to the point.
Chen Lin was stunned for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Brother, it was His Royal Highness the Great Prince who asked you to ask me, right?"
Cheng Zihao laughed, patted Chen Linci's shoulder, and said, "Brother, you know me best, and it is true that His Royal Highness sent my brother to find you to investigate." You also know that people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and I can't help it, brother. β
This shot reminded Chen Linci of many old things in Linxi City, and thought of the heroic posture of the high-spirited young man who caught his head back then, the more he thought of these things, the more awkward Chen Linci's heart became, and he said a little unhappily: "Brother, you don't look like such a person." β
Cheng Zihao's smile stiffened on his face, sighed helplessly, and muttered: "Brother, you just need to know, brother, I have my troubles, no matter what time it is, I, Cheng Zihao, will not disappoint you Chen Linci." β
Chen Linci picked up the chopsticks and took a few mouthfuls of food and sent them to his mouth, and was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "There are some things I can tell you, brother, but you can't tell your highness everything." β
Cheng Zihao said with a smile: "As long as brothers."
If you can trust me, my brother will never let you down. β
"Okay!" Chen Lin drank a glass of peach blossom wine, and the words he said immediately made Cheng Zihao's heart turbulent.
He looked at Cheng Zihao's eyes and said slowly: "The only relationship between me and His Royal Highness the Third Prince is that I am a disciple of the National Teacher, and the master and his old man have assisted His Majesty all his life, and His Majesty also hopes that I can take the place of the National Teacher and assist the Third Highness in governing the Chu State." β
Regarding the relationship between him and Master Yang Xiudao, not many people in the entire Chu State know, and Chen Linci has never mentioned it to others, Master Yang Xiudao is a well-known peerless powerhouse on the Endless Continent, there is a way to make a big move, he will naturally have trouble with some people in this life, Chen Linci does not dare to cause himself those troubles that he can't afford to provoke, in case those people on the mountain know his identity, he will definitely strangle himself in the cradle at any cost, with his current strength, it is not enough to withstand such heavy pressureγ
Cheng Zihao naturally understood this truth, so he quickly reacted in shock, drank all the wine in the glass in front of him, and muttered, "Brother, you shouldn't tell me these words." β
Chen Linci smiled and said, "Brother, I just want to tell you that in front of you, I, Chen Linci, don't want to have any secrets, and I won't hide anything from you." β
Cheng Zihao was silent, he was able to mix well in Linxi City, naturally he was not a fool, and of course he could hear the meaning of Chen Linci's words.
I, Chen Linci, did not hide any secrets in front of you, and I hope that you, Cheng Zihao, will stop hiding it from me.
Cheng Zihao looked at Chen Linci helplessly in his heart, it's not that the old brother wants to hide anything from you, but he really doesn't want you to be too embarrassed!
So he thought about it, and immediately opened the topic, and said: "Brother, you are the greatest pride of my Cheng Zihao in this life, I know that you have made a great name in the capital this year, and I also know the things you have done, but I didn't expect that you actually worshiped under the door of the national teacher, his old man has a spirit in the sky, if I can see your achievements in the future, I think I will be very pleased." β
Chen Linci smiled and said: "Brother, since you don't want to tell me more, that brother advises you, don't participate in such a thing as party struggle, otherwise if you don't pay attention, you will die in Huangquan, I know that you have always wanted to be promoted and make a fortune and shine in the court, but sometimes there are many ways to be promoted, and it is not just like this." β
Cheng Zihao shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I didn't know that the possibility of the eldest prince being able to inherit the throne was too small, but there are some things that you have to do if you don't do it." β
Chen Linci saw that it was useless to say anything, so he simply put the chopsticks on the table and said in a deep voice: "If I am not in Yingtian City, if you have anything, you can go directly to the Changle Gang and find the gang leader Jin Zihui, and he will help you arrange a way out." β
With that, he turned around and was about to leave.
A trace of tears appeared in the corners of Cheng Zihao's eyes, and he said: "Brother, I know that you don't think it's opportunistic to talk to my brother now, but before you leave, I still have a word to tell you." β
Chen Linci stopped, turned around, and muttered, "If you have anything to say, brother, hurry up and say it." β
"This sentence was brought to you by the eldest prince, and I think it is necessary to tell you. Cheng Zihao said: "He hopes you don't participate."
Fight with the following. β
Chen Linci smiled and asked rhetorically, "Brother, do you think I look like a person who likes to participate in these things?"
After that, without waiting for Cheng Zihao to answer, he left the private room directly and walked out of the carrier restaurant.
......
......
Chen Linci was a little upset.
He didn't know how Cheng Zihao had just arrived in Yingtian City, why he joined the camp of the great prince with all his heart, in his impression, although Cheng Zihao has always wanted to be a big official and make a fortune, but he is definitely not a person who will make a fool of these things, he doesn't know what Cheng Zihao's so-called unspeakable hidden is, since Cheng Zihao doesn't want to talk about it, he really doesn't want to ask more.
He was just a little upset, worried about why Cheng Zihao had changed like this.
After the death of the drunkard old Taoist, the old Taoist priest also passed away, and the only person in this world who can be called a relative is only one Cheng Zihao, but now Cheng Zihao is also like a different person, how can he not be upset?
He was not worried that Cheng Zihao would tell his secret, because he believed that what Cheng Zihao said would never be sorry for him, and he really had no intention of participating in those bad things in the court, although His Majesty the Emperor and Master Yang Xiudao had high hopes for him in this regard.
He believes that with the strength of the little prince's destiny, it is definitely not too difficult to settle his two brothers on the throne, and it really doesn't matter if he has himself or not.
So after leaving the carrier restaurant, he went straight back to the Starry Night Academy.
In the past few days, he has been practicing Haoran swordsmanship in the small courtyard arranged by Jin Zihui behind the Changle Gang Association, Chen Linci obviously felt that his realm had made a little progress, in just a few days, he had already explored the Haoran Sword almost, if he could get the second half of the "Haoran Sword Spectrum", Chen Linci believed that he would be able to reproduce the majesty of Yasheng Mengzi in time.
When Chen Linci returned to Starry Night Academy, it was just after noon, and some classmates were wandering around the academy after sparse lunch, and when they saw Chen Linci coming over, they would politely call Senior Brother Chen.
Chen Linci nodded in return, only to find that the year was almost over, and he couldn't even name some people, so he couldn't help but feel a little sorry for them.
He was about to leave the Starry Night Academy and join the sect to practice, and Chen Linci suddenly felt a little reluctant, although he hadn't really taken many classes in this academy.
It was the Starry Night Academy that changed his life, he met Luo Ziyanluo's classmates here, met Yuantong Tianyuan Teaching, met Dean Hu Haiyang, and of course, in the end, he also met Master Yang Xiudao.
Now, that's almost the end.
He walked on the road of Starry Night Academy, looking at Zang in the distance, and many memories flooded his mind.
You are far away, are you doing well now, can the evening breeze in Yingtian City blow across the mountains and rivers to Tianbo Mansion?
The sun you see every day is the same as the sun I see, right?
Chen Linci raised his head, looked at the sky, and a smile crossed the corner of his mouth.
ps: The traffic jam on National Day is terrible, I almost vomited on the highway.
