Chapter 136: Painstaking Efforts

Wen Lan suddenly waved her hand, sighed and said, "That's it, there are some things that don't need to be mentioned." In short, whether this Ye Zhiqiu is sincere or sincere, or whether he has something to ask for my Imulan, the two of them are clear in their hearts about your care, how can they ever be half a point of neglect, and their dedication to you is half inferior to that of ordinary parents? Speaking of Mu Yunyou, Lao Chen really intended to arrange for you to be taught under him. But how does it do him any harm to you? Mu Yunyou was harmed by Zhu Yuxiao, and he was so childless that he was lonely every day, wouldn't he be happy if you went to Chenghuan's knees? And you, the young lord of the country, the Mu Yun clan, who was taught by the world of wisdom, grew up to be such a good son today, and finally got his "Yun Ce" to inherit the mantle, what damage does it have to you? Lao Chen neither poisoned people like Bihai Zhu's family, nor drove tigers and wolves like Mu Yunduo did at the beginning, Lao Chen just tried his best to achieve the best of both worlds, how could he become so cunning in the eyes of the young country lord? ”

For a while, Su Xiaochen was speechless, but Wen Lan still didn't stop talking.

"When the young lord first returned to his hometown, he couldn't figure out the thousands of things in his heart for a while, and the old minister felt the same way. But the young lord, please think about it, we, the Imuran courtiers lurking in Taiye City, saw the dignity of the young lord a year ago, and wanted to recognize but didn't dare to admit it, how could it not be a kind of torment. In order to take revenge, the old minister did not hesitate to sneak into the liquid alone. Once the mask is worn, it will be thirty years! What is all this for? If the old minister had kept you in this Palkhanian palace and ruled the Imuran kingdom for you, a one-year-old child, without leaving home, wouldn't it be a hundred times easier than now? Why are you suspicious of the young lord now? Lao Chen is already old, from your grandfather and father to now it has been three generations, what can you hope for and what do you want? It's just that I want to make up for the regret of not being able to save the lord of Sully and the lord of Chakdo in the first place. Now you are here to be so angry with the minister, and the minister will suffer it. It's just that when he saw the leaders of the three tribes today, if he still talks like this today, I'm afraid it will chill the expectations of thousands of people of Imulan! ”

Wen Lan's words were impassioned, and Su Xiaochen was speechless. After a while, Su Xiaochen burst into tears and sobbed: "It's just...... It's just that in the past 18 years, you have deceived me so hard...... You have changed the whole world overnight, how do you want me to recognize it, how dare I recognize it? ”

Seeing that he was so sad, Wen Lan stretched out her hand to comfort him again, but this time Su Xiaochen did not resist.

"Young Lord, do you remember that night in Qinglian Palace, Xiao Tong and her sister Princess Qingle, as well as the two of us, the four of us drank and chatted together?"

Su Xiaochen nodded.

During the banquet, the old minister said, the husband walks in the world, when he stands up to the sky, he must not be entangled in petty love, and he must first be clear about the burden on his shoulders. Lao Chen is also a person whose parents died early, and he took up the position of the great witch god of the clan at a young age, and there is a minor brother below. But for the sake of Imulan, my brothers and I have been separated for many years. Taiye and Nanhua are only close at hand, but they are never visible, do you remember the story of the two villages I told you? In order to take revenge, the two brothers endured humiliation for many years, and finally got revenge. If Lao Chen has been entangled in the early death of his parents or brotherhood, or even the love of men and women, how can the blue sea and Cangwu Mansion be in a good situation today? The young lord is the lord of Imuran, and the burden on his shoulders is much heavier than that of the old minister, so he should understand this matter better than the old minister. ”

Su Xiaochen was taken aback, "What? The blue sea and the sky, the building will fall? What do you mean by that? ”

Wen Lan patted him on the shoulder and said, "This matter is a long story, and the old minister should be careful about the young lord another day." Now that the two countries are in the last moments before the storm, what seems to be tranquility is actually imminent. The old minister also came back at this time to see the young lord, so as to assist the young lord to achieve this great cause! ”

Cause......

A year ago, he was a carefree young man riding a horse on the outskirts of the Wanhua Imperial Capital, and a year later, he became a foreign lord who was burdened with family hatred and hatred and hatred every day, and still didn't know the truth or falsehood.

Uncle You...... What am I going to do?

Su Xiaochen stretched out his hand to help a pine tree beside him, and unexpectedly touched a hard object, and in a blink of an eye, it was a crystal green rosin hanging on the trunk.

This is Guercui?

…… Sure enough, the color is moving.

Su Xiaochen slowly bent down and saw a few red flowers blooming there at the root of the tree. There are no petals or calyxes, only a few stamens, as if they have just been baptized by fire, and they bloom slightly in the wind. The flower is exactly the same as the flower in the horn that Xiao Tong gave him.

Ember Silk ......

Su Xiaochen suddenly felt like a tide surging into his heart, and couldn't help muttering:

"Born in the desert without support, bear the shade to get half an inch of peace.

There are no flowers and no calyxes, and the silk bones are left in the world. ”

He looked at this ember silk flower, and thought of his fatherless and motherless life experience since he was a child, and sadness came from it. I couldn't hold it anymore after choking, and I cried loudly.

I don't know how long he cried, but someone seemed to gently stroke his back. Su Xiaochen looked at it with tears in his eyes, but it was He Ping.

"Childe, it's past noon, do you want to eat?"

Su Xiaochen just wanted to wipe his tears with his sleeve, but when he saw the brand-new silk on the silver leaf shirt, he was reluctant for a while, so He Ping hurriedly took out his handkerchief and handed it over.

"How are you ......?"

"The slave maid saw that the son had not returned for a long time, and she was afraid that the son was unfamiliar with the road and lost the direction, so she came to find it. The chief housekeeper had already left, and he asked the slave maid to leave a message to the son, saying that he knew that he had offended the son's words just now, so he went back to the house to think about it behind closed doors in the past two days. Now that the Blood Flame King and the Golden Blade King have arrived in Dadu, the Eagle Whisper King has a long way to go, and will arrive in about three days. The chief housekeeper said that he hoped that Gongzi would be able to calm down his thoughts in the next few days, and three days later, he would invite Gongzi to ascend the throne and be worshiped by the ministers. ”

"Original...... He is the great steward. Su Xiaochen is no longer surprised.

"Yes, the Great Witch God always said that no matter how big this country is, he is just a housekeeper, and he is taking care of everything for his son, and he has been incognito all these years, so everyone is used to using this name."

"Heping ......"

"The slave is here."

"You say...... Would you be happier if your grandfather told you when he was alive that he was actually your biological father? Su Xiaochen looked at the stream winding into the distance, and asked a little hesitantly.

He Ping smiled faintly: "Actually, the slave maid has also thought about this question countless times, at first I was a little unwilling, and I always felt why he wanted to deceive me, but then I figured out one thing." Whether he is my uncle or grandfather, or my biological father, since the day I was born, he has loved me, protected me, and loved me, and there is no difference. And even if I don't know that he is my biological father, I still respect him, respect him, and honor him. My relationship with him may be shocking in the eyes of the world, but between him and me, nothing will change. If we blindly demand his deception, we will not be asking for trouble, but will give rise to suspicion. ”

When Su Xiaochen heard this, he suddenly remembered what Wen Lan said to him just now: Soon after you were born, you have been a fatherless and motherless person.

Yes, no matter whether Wen Lan deceived or not, she would not change the fact that she would become an orphan soon after landing, but why was she entangled in this matter? Is it because you are unwilling to find someone who is responsible for the regret that you are an orphan?

"He Ping, I feel a lot better when you say this, thank you."

He Ping slowly helped Su Xiaochen to stand up, his face was already crimson: "Why do you need to thank Gongzi, the slave knows that Gongzi is depressed at this moment, Mama He Gui told us a few years ago that the days when Gongzi first arrived in Shakoye Dadu are the most difficult, I only hope that Gongzi can get through the difficulties as soon as possible, and the slave and maid will be able to put their minds at ease." ”

As she was talking, suddenly Herin ran over in the distance, and saw her running with a red face, panting, and a big braid thrown behind her and jumping.

"Ouch...... Childe, it turns out ...... So you're here. I made a bet with Sister He Ping to see who would find you first, and sure enough, I lost. Let's go back to dinner. Today, Sister He Ping made several good dishes from Cangwu Kingdom, including stewed deer breast with warbler tongue grass, and stewed beef marrow with ten mushrooms......"

Su Xiaochen threw a grateful look at He Ping.

"You have a heart."

He Ping smiled and shook his head.

"But tomorrow, you don't have to deliberately make these big dishes for me. The one we ate on the road before...... It's called ...... Black coconut cake? And I think you often eat stewed noodles with meat and bones, that one is very good. ”

He Ping seemed to understand his intentions, pursed his lips and laughed: "Yes, the slave and maid understand, from tomorrow, the slave and maid will also make more Imuran dishes for the son to taste." ”

Herin looked at Su Xiaochen in surprise, "Hey? Childe has changed sex, why do you suddenly want to eat our Imuran food? Can you get used to eating? ”

Su Xiaochen smiled bitterly: "...... You have to get used to it. ”

Wen Lan left Zhenzhu Yuan and returned to the Witch Temple next to the Parkhan Palace.

This is the daily living place of the great witch gods of the past generations, and it is also the place where they pray and divination.

Although the palace has been expanding since the first lord of the kingdom, the temple of witches has never changed.

It is said that the great shamans of the past generations felt that the most important thing in building a prayer place was piety, not luxury, so there was no need to expand it.

But in fact, everyone knows that the real reason is because there are too many secrets in this witch temple to expand.

Behind the shrine is a cemetery, where the ancestors of the great witches rest, and across the cemetery is a spiraling tower, where the alchemy of the great witch god rests.

No one knows what's inside, because ordinary people can't even find the entrance.

Wen Lan came to the tower alone.

The gates of the tower were closed, and there was not even a single guard in front of the gate.
