Chapter 5: The Moon Prince
86_86259The conversation between the two ushered in the attention of Siyin, who had just woken up from meditation with sleepy eyes, and approached the two with a curious face. "I don't know whether it's right or wrong, but everybody is careful to make himself like the majority, and if he crosses the line of popular convention, he will immediately invite criticism from others, and there is no hope for a country where such people are put together. Even if I am spurned by thousands of people in the future and whipped after death, I will change for the future."
Mu Feng's tone became extremely resolute after letting out a light sigh, which made Siyin, who was listening to the conversation between the two on the side, feel a little surprised, and he was also very interested in what happened to this young man.
"I know you want to bring peace to all generations, but you have thought that there will be no civil suffering, and there will be mourning all over the wilderness; The palace is rolling, and the jackals are in charge; corrupt officials and corrupt officials run rampant in the countryside; How many ordinary people have been poor all their lives but have not even been able to get basic food and clothing, and what they have exchanged for blood and sweat is to increase taxes to support the continuous wars for many years, and in order to satisfy the ambitions of those people, they persecute the people, they are not clothed and hungry, and the food of different children happens from time to time...... Where is the peace and prosperity of the world? ”
Qian Yi pondered his words for a moment, and after a moment, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice.
Qianyi's words made Mu Feng's heart tremble, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, and after waiting for a long time, he exhaled deeply, "Success comes at a price."
"What if you can succeed at such a price, if this success is simply a pretext to satisfy your own selfish desires, and it cannot be achieved at all? Is it worth the price? Your parents and relatives are still in that palace where life and death are uncertain, and you are willing to fall here? ”
Qian Yi was also a little overly excited, and the continuous questioning made Mu Feng unable to answer, so he could only bow his head silently.
"He~ What the hell happened to him?"
Siyin, who had been listening to the conversation between the two on the side, finally heard some clues, and felt that things were far more simple than he imagined, but at the same time, he was more curious and asked Qianyi.
"Cut, this girl hasn't been afraid of anyone yet! Tell me quickly, don't hang my appetite, don't worry that I will never tell others, maybe I can help, don't forget that I am an authentic Xianmen. ”
Siyin shrugged her shoulders disdainfully, and then seemed to be worried that the two would not sue her, and deliberately added a guarantee to the back.
The Moon Empire is located in the eastern part of the continent, bordering the Heavenly Stone Empire and the Wind and Snow Empire.
As one of the six empires, the moon worship has believed in the bright moon in the sky since the founding of the country, and the people have not worshiped the sky or the earth since they were born, and they do not worship their parents but only worship the bright moon in the sky. For them, the eternal moon is the sustenance in their hearts!
Moon worship the imperial capital of the moon city, bustling streets, bustling crowds, rows of houses and pavilions echo with the majestic and magnificent snow-capped mountains and green forests in the distance, standing on the tall city wall, looking at the sky, the vast stars, the bright moonlight sprinkled on the earth, in which there is a kind of indescribable beauty of raising sleeves for the clouds.
"Your Highness, the hour is getting short." A moon-worshipping general wearing golden fish scale armor and looking majestic and domineering came to this moment, and at this moment, a young man in white who was standing on the city wall and looking at the beautiful scenery of the lake and mountains outside the city saluted him respectfully.
The young man in white was gorgeously dressed, although it was only a single white at a glance, but under a closer look, the white crown robe was full of small gold silk patterns, and the ripples outlined on the white clothes with gold edges were extremely delicate and luxurious, and a white jade inlaid belt tied around the waist was even more noble and extraordinary.
The long black and vertical hair, the handsome sword eyebrows flying obliquely, the slender but sharp black eyes, the thin and lightly pursed lips, the slender and straight figure with the clear outline of the water chestnut, the matching body is so handsome.
It's just that at this moment, the young man in white, who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, frowned slightly after hearing the general's words.
Cold, arrogant, lonely but domineering, standing alone on the wall gives people a sense of absolute strength that is proud of the world.
It was hard to imagine that this was the aura that a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy should have, which made the generals who came to salute feel a little weak and did not dare to look up at him.
After waiting for a while, under the moonlight, his fair and smooth face gradually shifted his gaze towards the bustling and noisy city: "You said that these people are upside down in the morning, are they drunk and gold-obsessed?" ”
"Your Highness ~ Your Highness, my subordinates don't know."
The young man's voice was soft but low, giving people a sense of strength without anger, originally this general was extremely reluctant to provoke him, and at this moment, he didn't dare to breathe when he asked him like this.
"Hehe, General Long has followed his father from birth and death to death for so many years, why do you still have a grudge against me, a junior?"
When the young man heard this, the corners of his mouth rose to reveal an intriguing sneer, and the smile was so fake that it made the general gasp.
"We are fighting hard to kill the enemy on the front line, and they are here to get drunk and make the royal capital into a miasma, it really deserves to be killed!"
The young man said in a cold voice, and walked down the city wall alone, escorted all the way down to the palace in the center of the imperial capital by a group of soldiers in armor and spirits.
Along the way, the noisy and noisy people saw him as if they had seen a bad star, and hurriedly ducked, and when he was far away, these people took to the streets again, and cursed in the direction he left.
"Brother, where have you been? Today, the messenger of the spirit kingdom has come to worship his father. You're not there as the commander of the troops! ”
In a side hall of the palace, when the young man in white had just retreated and was about to rest, a handsome boy wearing a brocade robe and looking twelve or thirteen years old broke in, took his hand and said with a smile.
Seeing the boy in front of him who was still a little immature at the moment, a shallow smile finally appeared on the young man's indifferent face, "Mu Chen, you are the crown prince now, how can you still be so reckless?" ”
Although there was some reproach in the words, the face was full of love and care.
"What's wrong with the crown prince? I wish the crown prince was your brother, but now I am too bored in the palace every day, and I have to learn so many things. I really want to lead the army to fight like you, brother, and expand the territory of the empire! ”
The little boy who was called Mu Chen by the teenager had a small mouth on his immature face, looking well-behaved and cute, and complained to him.
"Brother promised you, when you grow up, I will take you out, and we will kill the enemy together! But there are still a lot of things you need to learn now, and I'll take you out when your martial arts skills are comparable to your father's king. ”
The young man in white touched Mu Chen's high and curled up his long hair with a white jade crown and smiled lightly.
"I'm not young, I'm twelve. I think that when you were thirteen years old, you led 100,000 troops to exterminate a country! ”
Mu Chen replied with a small mutter.
"Okay, if you don't go back to your mother, be careful that you will be punished again tomorrow."
Mu Feng's eyes were full of affection, and after reaching out and touching the little boy's long black hair, Mu Chen saw him leave the house in a rage.
The next morning, when a ray of golden sunlight shone on the golden palace hall, Mu Feng came to the palace under the awe-inspiring gaze of many Janissaries.
Mu Feng is not much interested in governing the country, and the arrangement of troops on the bloody battlefield can make his blood surge, and at the age of only sixteen, he became a fierce general who worships the moon.
This time, he had just defeated a small country called Lingguo, which was sandwiched between the Moon Worship and the Wind and Snow Empire, and was urgently recalled to the palace by his father before he could celebrate the success of the army.
As soon as the day dawned, Mu Feng simply ate some food under the service of the maidservant, and went to the main hall in the center of the palace early.
"Your Highness, when did you come back?"
When Mu Feng walked into the luxurious hall, many civil and military generals on both sides who had been waiting for a long time saluted him one after another, and one of them, an old minister who was dressed in a gorgeous brocade robe and looked in good spirits, walked out of the crowd and saluted him respectfully.
"Lord Zhao, today is not an important day, why did they even come to the court meeting?"
Mu Feng's handsome brows furrowed slightly, and he asked some courtiers beside him who could be seen from their clothes alone.
The people who come to the court every day are nothing more than moon worshippers, and they will not be allowed to enter the palace unless they are specially summoned or have some important day.
"Your Highness, don't be impatient, you'll know later, but the old minister is very curious, since His Highness has returned. Don't you know what the agenda of today's meeting is? ”
The old minister standing in front of him asked with a slight smile.
Mu Feng's eyes converged, but he had an ominous premonition in his heart, he didn't directly visit his father and mother when he returned to the palace yesterday, so he didn't know why it was so grand today, and then looked at the forty or fifty generals in the hall, most of them were confused, obviously they didn't figure out why they were called today.
Because of Mu Feng's presence, the voices of discussion in the original hall also stopped abruptly, the corners of Mu Feng's mouth rose, stepped forward, stood directly under the throne, and ignored the courtiers behind him, and these people were also respectfully lined up on both sides, looking forward to the arrival of the lord of the country.
It didn't take long for the side door behind the huge carved white jade wall behind the throne to walk out of the side door accompanied by several attendants, led by a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties, wearing a delicate red brocade robe, wearing a purple and gold crown, looking extraordinary, giving people a sense of dignity without anger.
Walking beside him was a middle-aged woman who was gorgeously dressed and wearing a phoenix crown, and Mu Chen, who had changed into a pale red gold-trimmed robe with clear eyebrows
