Chapter 477: Meditation
Su Xiaochen carefully buried Mrs. Ye, and then returned to the courtyard of the old house according to Mrs. Ye's instructions, and found the child buried under the plum tree back then.
According to Mrs. Ye, this child is the son of the lord of Chaktor, and it is embarrassing that he died in a foreign country at a young age.
In fact, thinking about it in hindsight, Su Xiaochen felt a lot more relaxed, after all, those blood feuds had been pressing on his shoulders, and he was quite breathless.
He doesn't want to live so tired, it's just that there are too many ordinary ethics in this world, and it is not so easy to break free.
But now that he doesn't have to worry so much, and he doesn't feel that he owes anything, Su Xiaochen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Emperor Wen ordered him to receive a reward, but in fact, he didn't care. The imperial capital is safe for the time being, and the most important thing at the moment is to go back to Xiaotong, Su Xiaochen thinks that he can even give up the position of the lord of the country, and does he care about those rewards.
What's more, where did Emperor Wen have such good intentions.
Su Xiaochen faintly felt that with Emperor Wen's heart, he must be the master of a rabbit and a dead dog. To go to the Hanjiang camp alone is one of the doubts.
So Su Xiaochen secretly told Eagle Tail, asked her to hide her traces for herself along the way, took Ye Yin and Cao Xiwen to the east, and asked the ten Liuxia masters to pretend to be her own group and go another way to the east.
Soon, the spies who were lurking on the way to Emperor Wen got the news, and Su Xiaochen took a few people to the Hanjiang camp. But in fact, as soon as Su Xiaochen entered Jingzhou, he went directly south to the sea. There, Qiu Yueshi and Zhu Zhitong had been waiting on the serpentine ship for a long time.
Zhu Zhitong saw Su Xiaochen's haggard face, and said that it was hard work all the way, and later heard Eagle Tail say that it was because of Mrs. Ye, and knew that the mood here could not be calmed down for a while, and she could only be relieved by gentle words.
"Da Su, why don't we go back to Meilongyu to recuperate for a few days?"
"Xiao Xiao...... I have good news and bad news for you. ”
Zhu Zhitong saw that his expression was solemn and not like a joke, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then let's change places." ”
The serpentine ship is not big, but Qiu Yueshi still prepared the most spacious room for Zhu Zhitong, and when he heard Zhu Zhitong say this, he ordered Ah Kui and Ah Teng to guard the deck and not let the idlers approach Zhu Zhitong's residence.
Seeing that the two of them were already concubines, Qiu Yueshi's thoughts about Zhu Zhitong became colder and colder.
If there is anything in this world that cannot be forced, affection must be the first thing.
Eagletail saw that Qiu Yueshi looked lonely, and persuaded softly: "It's been a long time since I've ordered tea for Lord Tsukushi, why don't you let the slave maid serve a cup of tea for the adult?" ”
Qiu Yue's brows were slightly relaxed, and she smiled helplessly: "Okay." ”
Here, Zhu Zhitong took Su Xiaochen into the room, turned around and leaned on his chest and refused to part.
"Da Su, in the days you went to the imperial capital, I was worried every day, always worried about what danger you would encounter, thank God, I finally came back. Thinking of that, Emperor Wen only gave you 4,000 men, which is obviously difficult for you. ”
"I'm so familiar with the imperial capital, there will be no risk. Let alone...... With the secret help of the Taishi Mansion, it is not too difficult to win the battle of the imperial capital. ”
"Taishifu? Isn't it long gone? Zhu Zhitong was a little surprised.
"The capture of the imperial capital this time all relied on Uncle You's teachings in the past, and these are not enough. I just didn't expect Uncle Lian Sa
...... all."
"Taishi Zuo? He's been on the Kuntou with my aunt, how can he help you? ”
"The dragon scale army was driven into the inner city by the plan of the Eighteen Kingdoms, but in the end, the Zhangren Palace was burned by the distribution map of the dragon saliva that Uncle Satan gave me before I left."
"But hasn't Taishi Zuo been in a trance all the time? How can I give you a map? ”
"It was not passed down by Master Zuo himself, but it was handed over to me by my aunt. I'm wondering, is Taishi Zuo already well......"
Zhu Zhitong thought for a while and said, "Probably not, I also went to visit my aunt on the Kuntou ship a few days ago, and I also met Taishi Zuo, and I don't think he is any different from before." ”
Su Xiaochen was also puzzled, he thought that maybe he should personally go and explore Taishi Zuo.
Zhu Zhitong asked: "You just said that there is good news and bad news, and you should talk about the good one first." ”
"Hey, everyone else always listens to the bad first, but you're the opposite."
"If you listen to the good and then the bad, maybe the mood won't be too bad."
"Makes sense, too." Su Xiaochen's tone gradually turned gentle: "Xiao Xiao, that night my aunt told me that I am not the son of the Lord of Chaktor, and I don't have to do anything at all!" ”
"What? And such things? So who the hell lied to you? Zhu Zhitong was taken aback.
Su Xiaochen smiled bitterly and said: "My uncle is really treacherous, I feel unbelievable when I hear it." ”
immediately told Mrs. Ye what she told him that night, and Zhu Zhitong was dumbfounded when she heard it.
"So, you don't actually have those blood feuds in you?"
"Yes!" Su Xiaochen exhaled heavily, and seemed to be a lot more relaxed: "I'm just a nameless boy, not a royal nobleman at all, let alone bear the burden of reconciliation between the three clans." ”
"I didn't expect such a change, which is really good news. To be honest, every time I see you talking to that aunt and that uncle, I think they keep forcing you to do things you don't like. You're with them, and you're barely smiling. Imagine how there are parents in the world who force their children to do things they don't like every day, now, are you much easier? ”
"You are really biased in saying this, parents who can not force their children to do things they don't like are still a minority in the world. It's just that you haven't experienced it, but you are also the princess of the blue sea, and your eldest sister must have been controlled more than you back then. ”
Zhu Zhitong tilted her head and thought about it, nodded thoughtfully: "You came like this, it seems to be the same thing." My eldest sister has been living every day step by step since she was a child, so is there a time to go out and play. ”
"Then did your eldest sister ever envy that you can be carefree all day long?"
"That's not it."
"That's the terrible thing, after being controlled for a long time, it feels like it's natural and unquestionable, and even later on, it feels like everyone should be like this. One day, I suddenly found that it was not like that, but I was afraid that the force of this reversal would surprise everyone. ”
"You mean...... My eldest sister, the affair between her and my mother, was it due to an awakening one day? ”
"It's not that it's just about your eldest sister. I have also been strictly disciplined by my uncle since I was a child, so I feel the feeling. ”
Su Xiaochen thought
After thinking about it, he said, "You just said that Hunying and Qi Lie always force me to do things. In fact, it's not true, they are all patriarchs of the same clan, and what they say to me is also for the sake of the clan, not to mention that I was the lord of the country at that time, and it is understandable that they want to rely on me, and they all speak as patriarchs rather than elders, just on the matter, I don't blame them too much. ”
Zhu Zhitong glanced at him and complained: "It's really kind to be a donkey's liver and lungs, I feel sorry for you, and you still speak for them." That's it, don't mention them. You just said good news and bad news, but what about the bad news? ”
"Bad news...... Actually, it's the same thing as good news. I am not the lord of Imuran. ”
"Is this bad news? Are you ...... in your heart After all, you still can't give up the throne? Zhu Zhitong hesitated.
Su Xiaochen deliberately teased her: "Yes, without the throne, I don't know if you, the Emperor of Bihai, can still look down on me, a poor boy?" ”
Zhu Zhitong said angrily: "You are really ...... To this day, he still has the heart to laugh with me. Then let me ask you, if I am not the Emperor of the Blue Sea, can you look down on me? ”
Su Xiaochen hugged her waist and said softly: "I will only look at you who you are......"
Zhu Zhitong blushed and grinned: "This is the bad news you said?" It seems like...... It's not bad. ”
"To be serious, in fact, what I'm worried about is that Emperor Wen may take advantage of this matter."
"Huh? That black-hearted Muyun clan? I really don't understand sometimes, how can this Muyun clan have so many evil thoughts......
Su Xiaochen laughed and said: "How can things in the world be generalized, speaking of which, you are also the queen of the Mu Yun clan, do you want to frame yourself in this?" ”
Zhu Zhitong was unconvinced: "After all, my surname is not Muyun, and haven't you heard the phrase "South Mandarin and North Mandarin?" You see, my father, who grew up in the blue sea, is the Mu Yun clan, and he is completely different from the vicious twin brother. ”
"Good, good, south orange and north orange. Then I don't know what to do with me, a citrus tree that grows in the firmament? ”
Zhu Zhitong smiled and said: "It's okay, you will be in the blue sea with me in the future, and you will become a sweet orange after a long time." Hey, don't talk about this, you just said that Emperor Wen would take the opportunity to take advantage of the fact that you are not the lord of the country, I don't know how you will use it? ”
"Soon after I captured the imperial capital, Emperor Wen sent a letter with a pigeon harrier, asking me to go to the Hanjiang camp alone to receive the reward."
"Would he be so kind?" Zhu Zhitong looked unconvinced.
"Naturally, no. So I asked Eagletail to help me get out and come straight to you. I guess Emperor Wen's plan must be to lure him into the camp and take advantage of the situation, as the so-called bird is hiding the bow, I am no longer useful to him now. ”
"You know that he has that kind of mind, and he also captured the imperial capital for him!"
"Xiao Xiao, I am not taking the imperial capital for him, but for the people! As long as the dragon scale army occupies the city for one day, the safety of the people in the imperial capital cannot be guaranteed. Keeping the people is Uncle You's entrustment, and I must do it. ”
"That'...... Now that you've kept your promise, what's next? ”
"The war between the armies of Cangwu and Imuran is about to break out, and when the ice on the river dies down, there will be a fierce battle, and I want to stay at this mouth and wait and see what happens. Whether it is Cangwu defeating Imuran and entering the blue sea, or Imuran defeating Cangwu and capturing Jingzhou, I don't want to see it. It's just that I don't have a single soldier on hand......"
