Chapter 23: Shock
"This was given to me by your father before he died." Gongsun Yun paused as she said and continued: "Your father has long known that he will die soon, and he handed this over to his mother a few months ago. ”
When Jun Moxi heard the first sentence, he was already stunned, and he couldn't understand the queen mother's sentence at all, his father knew that he would die soon, what did he mean?
You don't regret being confused.
"Your father knows that someone wants that supreme position, and he knows that he can't fight for it, so he spoils you and doesn't want you to get involved." Gongsun Yun choked up as he said and said, "Your father wants to give up that position to protect your safety." ”
Jun Moxi's face turned pale suddenly, and he looked at Gongsun Yun in disbelief, as if he felt that he was having auditory hallucinations.
"The queen mother originally thought that we could bless you with peace in my life, whether it was for the lives of my father and mother, we were willing, as long as we could keep you, but the price was that you would never inherit the throne." Gongsun Yun pursed her lips tightly when she said this, and put the royal blue ring in her hand into Jun Moxi's palm.
"This ring is the last thing left to you by your father, and it is also the most precious thing, the queen mother now asks you, do you want to be the king of Hanyang?"
Jun Moxi shook his body fiercely, and suddenly raised his eyes to look at Gongsun Yun, Jun Moxi finally knew all kinds of incomprehensions in his previous life, why did his father die quietly without a trace of resistance.
Why does the queen mother seem sad but does not thoroughly investigate the cause of her father's death?
Why did the emperor's uncle hold the power of Hanyang, but his father did not mention the matter of regaining it at all.
Why is she obviously the prince of Hanyang, but she is pampered like an ignorant princess!
It turns out that this qiē explanation is a transaction!
Jun Mo Xi closed his eyes fiercely, clenched the ring in his palm, and said in a hoarse voice: "I want to become the king of Hanyang." ”
Gongsun Yun's lips trembled slightly, and finally smiled with relief, and he held Jun Moxi's hand tightly and said, "Okay, the queen mother originally didn't plan to give you this thing, but looking at Xi'er's table in the past few days, the queen mother decided to give this to you." ”
"This is an ancestral ring, although it is not useful, but it is a true symbol of the king of Hanyang, I hope you will keep it well, in addition, my father has prepared a gift for you." Gongsun Yun said and straightened up slightly, turned his head sideways and said to the air on the side: "Come out." Just when Jun Mo was surprised, several ghostly figures suddenly appeared around him.
Jun Mo Xi shook hands tightly, only then did he know that this was probably the biggest reliance that his father left for him.
"This is the secret guard given to you by your father, and from this day on, they will only be loyal to you." Gongsun Yun said that there were faint tears flashing in his eyes, and he stared straight at Jun Mo Xi and said, "Mo Xi, do you know what these twenty people under your command represent?" ”
"Yes." Jun Mo Xi stared closely at the crowd of people who were lit up under the faint candlelight, the tip of his heart trembled slightly, and slowly spit out four words: "Never die." ”
"Good...... Okay......" Gongsun Yun covered her mouth tightly and said: "The queen mother will watch you behind you, watching you guard the rivers and mountains that your ancestors have fought down, our home." After Gongsun Yun finished speaking, he stood up, put on the black cloak again, stared at Jun Mo Xi tightly, and said, "Do you remember what the queen mother said, if you make a choice, what will you do?" ”
"Remember, don't worry, Queen Mother, you will never regret it." Jun Moxi raised his head and gave Gongsun Yun a bright smile, Gongsun Yun gritted her teeth tightly, not daring to shed tears, she clearly knew what kind of crises and difficulties Jun Moxi would face in the future, and the hardships of this road could only rely on Jun Moxi to go down alone.
In the silent night, Jun Moxi held the warm ring in his hand tightly, and the expression on his face changed uncertainly, it turned out that everything he didn't understand in his previous life was here, was it the love of his father, queen mother, and son, or his usual weak expression, which made them feel that Jun Moxi couldn't afford to take the throne of Hanyang?
Maybe both.
Under the light of the flickering light, Jun Mo smiled bitterly, only to feel that the small ring in his hand was as heavy as Mount Tai, making his hand tremble.
This is Hanyang.
It is also the great trust of my father before his death.
Jun Mo Xi slowly calmed down the surging feelings, raised his hand to put the ring on his index finger, raised his eyes slightly, and looked at the black shadow that stood respectfully in the room quietly like a zài, and an extremely complicated light appeared in his eyes, why did not this group of people appear in the previous life, is it because he is not qualified to have it?
Come to think of it, even if you have their existence in your previous life, you can't make the most of it, right?
"What's your name?" Jun Moxi pulled the corners of his mouth slightly, and slowly swept the faces of the entire twenty people, all of whom were covered with face towels, revealing a pair of eyes that had no emotion at all, this is a secret guard, and it is also a dead soldier.
"Subordinates and others don't have names." The words are a little hoarse, but they are very nice.
Jun Moxi's eyes flickered slightly when he heard this, looked at these twenty people and frowned slightly, and then said: "In the future, you will use the number as the codename, and you will be named Jun Wuwei, and you will be given the shadow of the number." ”
"You are the shadow one, you are the shadow two, and so on, the ranking is up to you, the first two will stay, and the rest will scatter and wait for the order of the palace." Jun didn't want any names, so he quickly and neatly arranged code names for these twenty people, and from now on, a Jun Wuwei was established, and the secret guard didn't need a name.
Jun Wuwei acted quickly, almost determined his position between the eyes of the eye, the first two men were still standing in place, and the remaining eighteen people disappeared without a trace, Jun Mo regretted that he had never had such a profound martial arts, so he naturally couldn't see the slightest doorway, but sighed secretly in his heart, this is one of the forces she will rely on in the future.
"You two, you two will be responsible for protecting the safety of the palace in the future, and you will be on call." Jun Mo Xi leaned on the edge of the table and looked sideways at the two tall figures, who looked like they were about twenty years old.
"Yes." The two of them bowed down, exactly the same action, like puppets without the slightest popularity, Jun Mo did not hesitate to wave his hand to signal the two to retreat.
The wind outside the house was hunting, Jun Moxi sat alone at the table for a long time and did not move, this short hour made Jun Moxi feel that everything had changed, and every word of the queen mother echoed in his ears.
