Volume 1 Sorrow Chapter 4 The Road to Escape

At the foot of Mount Calentesley, a group of people covered in blood moved forward without saying a word, the tall mountains were lush and green, the scorching sun above their heads made the blood on their bodies suddenly feel sticky, Tianyi's eyes were cold on the horse, holding a long star in his hand, his eyes were empty and dull, Sorens, Esther was very vigilant behind. Takema shook his head on the horse, took out a water bladder, and drove the horse to Tianyi, "Little prince, come and drink some water." Tianyi didn't seem to hear it, "Takema, why was Seaweed City broken so ......quickly?" Takema lowered his hand hanging in the air and screwed the bottle cap on, "Alas, they have already walked to this kind of field, and it is nothing to tell the little prince that you are fine, do you know how good the sea pattern city has been in recent years." Chongyuan should have secretly bought most of the soldiers, you know, the military power has always been in his hands...... I don't really understand the emperor's decision......"

"The wind and rain are smooth...... Bribe ......" Tianyi's eyes were hollow, close to numbness.

"During the reign of the old emperor, there were no major wars, and the people of the whole city and even the Gert continent lived in comfort, and Emperor Huros naturally gave most of the military power to his most trusted Chongyuan. ”

"Chongyuan ......," Tianyi said, clenching the Long Star Sword in his hand.

"Little prince, seeing is not necessarily believing, and hearing is not necessarily false. Takema paused and said meaningfully, "You may wonder why the old emperor handed over the military power to Chongyuan, and why Chongyuan's family would ...... Actually, these are the things I wonder, and that's all I know......"

One or two lines of tears flowed down in the sky, "Father and mother ......"

"What are your plans, Emperor, and what are the next steps, Pan, the life and death of Prince Tuo are uncertain...... Gu Liang said bitterly.

"Run. Tianyi gritted his teeth and said a word, "Also, Butler Gu, don't call me the emperor, Seawen City has long ceased to exist." ”

"Yes, Emperor, this is a gift from Prince Pan, Prince Tuo. As he spoke, he took out a necklace from his chest, "This was supposed to be given to you after the handover of the Long Star Sword, but who knew that it would suddenly ...... Alas"

Tianyi turned around and took the necklace, and suddenly found that the long star sword in his hand suddenly trembled, only to find that this necklace was very ordinary, ordinary only a string of silver chains with a ruby hanging on it, the strange thing is that this ruby is very similar to the ruby on the long star sword in his hand. He gently stroked the ruby, and suddenly wanted to cry, but there was no more tear in his eyes. Tianyi put the necklace on his neck, calmed down, and said tremblingly, "Go to Ruodan." ”

"Ruodan??" Takema wondered.

"Yes, Ruodan, go find Heather. ”

"This ...... I'm afraid it's not good, little prince, we have a different identity now, and going to find Xiao Ou may implicate him!" Takema said wistfully.

"No, he's alone now, and the only one we can find is him. ”

"Alright then, let's hurry up, we can't linger in the sea stripe any longer, the longer it takes, the more dangerous we become. Gu Liang said eagerly.

Tianyi looked at the thousands of remnant guards of Sea Pattern City behind him, and said bitterly in his heart: "You don't need to follow me, go home, become a king and defeat a king, this is my fate, you don't need to ......"

"Swear to follow the emperor! swear to follow the emperor!" shouted one after another.

Tianyi looked at a general, and the general immediately nodded and shouted: "Go back, your parents need you, this is an order!"

The thousands of guards stayed for a few minutes, slowly took off their uniforms, and dispersed in different directions, leaving only seven of Hurose's cronies still by Tianyi's side......

The group marched at the foot of Mount Calentesley, and the group gradually disappeared under the towering peak.

In the palace of Sea Pattern City, Chongyuan sat on the luxurious throne and looked down at the guests when the succession ceremony came, his eyes were indifferent, he didn't know what he was thinking, and the people below did not dare to come out, and the needles in the hall could be heard.

"Don't worry, I won't touch a single hair of you, you can leave this place in the evening and return to your hometown, remember, you still owe me a life. Chongyuan finally spoke after a long silence.

Chiba stood motionless behind the Dragon Feather Emperor Thousand Shengyu, but he was worried about Tianyi, who had just met.

"Okay, take them down, you all retreat, Helin, you stay. ”

"Yes!" the hall immediately became empty, "General, what do you command?" He Lin said with a cold face.

"Ha Lin, do you say I'm right or wrong. Chongyuan's eyes were glazed.

"General, there is no precise line between right and wrong, for Huros, you are wrong, for your family, you are right, for the people of Sea Pattern City, you can be right or wrong. Ha Lin looked at Chongyuan and said word by word.

"I don't regret it, I don't regret it, I don't regret it at all!" Chongyuan slowly changed from a low murmur to a roar.

"General, now that you have taken this position, there is no need to worry about it, all you have to do now is how to consolidate your throne. He Lin paused, "The last general thinks that you have not been defeated in the past twenty years, and you have tried your best to assist Huros to manage this sea-streaked empire, but you have let the emperor you respect the most kill your family, and this revenge is not wrong......"

"Okay, there's no need to say more, Helin, you go and issue an edict, just say, the general of Sea Pattern City Chongyuan usurped the throne to repay the pain of killing his relatives, and reduce taxes, okay. Chongyuan waved his hand, just like when he assassinated Hurose.

"General, but ......"

"Alright!" Chongyuan's gaze flickered, and Ha Lin sighed and retreated.

Chongyuan leaned back on the throne, his gaze glazed again. The sun gradually sank, and the sunlight shone in through the windows in the hall, and there seemed to be a strong smell of blood in the air, and Chongyuan kept muttering: "Right, wrong, right, wrong......"

The palace of Sea Pattern City was occupied by thousands of rebels, many of whom were loyal to Huros, but they could only swallow their anger in front of Chongyuan's many subordinates.

Night gradually covered the city, and the rumors of the usurpation of the great general of the Sea Pattern Empire had already been spread, and the people of Sea Pattern were panicked, and their homes were closed, and there was no figure on the streets in all directions. The central square is full of ribbons and flags, and the atmosphere of the ceremony has long been gone, and the only thing that envelops the city is the long-lasting haze.

On the edge of the lake next to a large forest, Tianyi looked at the lake quietly, his eyes as clear as water were full of pain, and even the people accompanying him did not expect that Tianyi actually did not have an emotional breakdown, they sat quietly under the tree to recover their strength.

"Little prince, let's eat some wild fruits. Takema walked over and handed a dark red fruit to Tianyi: "Rest early, we will get up before dawn tomorrow morning." ”

Tianyi took a bite of the fruit and smiled bitterly: "Okay Takema, you go and rest first, I'll stay alone for a while." ”

Takema nodded and turned to leave. Takema had been taking care of him since he was a toddler, and he had no complaints about Hurose's decision as a good swordsman, and Takema sat under the tree, his thoughts drifting back to the past.

The era of more than thirty years ago was undoubtedly a dark age, with nations at war and continents in chaos. Takema was also a victim of this war, Takema was born in the town of Accord in the Empire of Time, when the strength of the Kingdom of Time and the Kingdom of Haiwen were similar, and the former emperor of the Sea Pattern was bent on ending the war and establishing the status of the continent of the Sea Pattern. The former emperor of Haiwen only wanted to be stationed in Yage Town, ready to fight a tough battle, but who knew that the people of Yage Town resisted fiercely, and in the years of war, people's reason was replaced by hatred, and the former emperor of Haiwen made the most wrong decision in his heroic life.

Early one morning, just after dawn, there was a commotion outside, and soon there was a fierce quarrel and roars. The screams of the people resounded in the early morning streets of the town. Takema, who was sleeping soundly, was not woken up by these sounds, and after a while, the screams slowly disappeared. Takema's only impression was that when he woke up and found himself in the storeroom on the top floor of his home, he got up and went downstairs and saw a scene that he never wanted to think about again in his life, his parents fell in a pool of blood, Takema was terrified, and rushed to his parents, and through the open door, he saw the streets full of mess. The immature cry of the five-year-old boy resounded in this slaughtered town, he didn't understand why his parents had closed their eyes after he woke up, and after a long time, in the hazy eyes of tears, Takema saw a burly figure, and the former emperor of the sea pattern sighed softly, and took the grief-stricken little Takema to the barracks.

This incident has always left an indelible shadow on Takema, he knew that the former emperor of the sea pattern could not bear to attack a child, and later, he was taken to the sea pattern palace, the former emperor let him live with the servants in the palace, and even let him learn swordsmanship with his own child Hurose, and Takema grew up in this environment. He hates, he hates the decision of the former emperor, and he doesn't hate, without the former emperor, he wouldn't be alive now. Time flies, more than 30 years have passed, this matter is still a hurdle in his heart that cannot be passed, but he also learned to gradually let go in this environment, Hurose relieved to let Tianyi take care of him, but also let him bury the seeds of hatred deeper and deeper, what is the purpose of human life, Takema often thinks about this question, but he has never found an answer.

A breeze interrupted his distant thoughts, and Takema looked up at the bright moon in the sky, sighed, leaned against the tree, and closed his eyes.

Tianyi had been standing by the lake, and the moonlight outlined his emaciated face, which looked even paler. He clenched the Long Star Sword at his waist, thinking about Pan and Tuo's safety, and at the same time, he always had a question in his mind, why his brother would give him a necklace, coincidentally, the ruby on the necklace and the ruby on the sword grid of the Long Star Sword in his hand are similar. Tianyi's head was in a mess, he simply didn't think about it, lay down, closed his eyes and gradually fell asleep, no one saw it, and tears kept sliding down the young man's face.
