Chapter 11 The fate of the young man's ambition is ruined
When Kurong carried Chongsheng back to the room, Chongsheng was already drunk.
Kurong lit the lamp and candle, and settled down to sleep.
"Two masters! Second, come back! ”
"Childe, the second master has long been unconscious."
Although he knew that Chongsheng was talking drunk, Ku Rong still answered.
"Ember, is there any wine?"
"Childe, you've drunk too much, you can't drink anymore."
"Really?" Chongsheng suddenly sat up from the bed, and in the dim light, he smiled at Kurong.
"Childe?" When Ku Rong looked at Chongsheng again, he found that he was not drunk at all, and he was the same as the two of them just now.
"Bring the wine and follow me!" After Chongsheng finished speaking, he opened the window of the room, the moon was clear and the stars were colorful.
Chongsheng took out a folding fan, threw it high out of the window, and then jumped out with the folding fan.
Although this room is only in the middle of Jiegan City, the cliff below is at least dozens of zhang, and Ku Rong only felt a pang in his heart, could it be that the son was drunk and looking for death?
"Childe!" Ku Rong shouted, and the light work jumped out of the window.
The sight in his eyes surprised Ku Rong, Chongsheng did not fall off the cliff, but shuttled through the air like a flying swallow.
The folding fan flies up, the tip of the toe of the sublime light folding fan jumps ten zhang, the body is as fast as thunder, the momentum is about to end, the folding fan will fly up again, like the steps to the sky, Chongsheng has his hands behind his back, one foot on the folding fan, the body is elegant, and in a blink of an eye it has been above the height of a hundred zhang.
There is no sky in the sky, the clouds are empty, the mist and thick clouds have passed on Chongsheng's side, and the high-speed friction of the air blooms a little spark in the field of night.
Ku Rong followed with all his might, but he couldn't catch up with Chongsheng's figure.
Childe is just a weak scholar, how can it be?
Finally, Chongsheng stopped at the top of the highest tower in Jiegan City, the void was half-floating, and slowly fell, like an immortal in the mortal.
Not long after Chongsheng landed, Kurong also fell on the top of the city tower.
Looking down, the high city is towering, thousands of cliffs, and the stars are only between the fingers.
"Childe!"
"Ash, forgive me for not making a move all this time." Under a huge red moon, Chongsheng smiled at Kurong.
"Childe, aren't you?" There are too many surprising transformations in Chongsheng in just one day, and it is difficult to accept for a while.
"Not a waste? Like a rumor? ”
"Childe, your light martial arts are far above me, I really can't see through it."
"Ash, you've been too modest. Did you bring alcohol? Chongsheng finished and sat down on the roof of the building.
Not far away, the Qingwang Canal is full of blue waves, and the fire of fishing boats on the lake is dotted with stars.
Kurong sat down beside Chongsheng and handed over a pot of spirits.
Chongsheng took the flask and took a sip: "When I was a child, Teacher Yuan told me that there is an old saying in his hometown: If you are wise and foolish, you will be loud. ”
Kurong didn't interject, just drank, he knew that at this moment he only needed to be a listener, and the sublime that should be said would tell him.
"My mother's name is Yuan Bao'er, the concubine of the Holy Dynasty Minister's family. The marriage of the father and the queen mother was a political marriage, and the father originally hoped to grab a lot of political capital from this marriage. For this reason, he secretly executed the eldest brother's mother, the woman he loved most in his life, and married my mother as a main house. ”
It turned out that the princely deep palace was so dark and cruel, and Ku Rong sighed when he heard it.
"Mr. Yuan is not my mother's cousin who came with her marriage, he is not surnamed Yuan, he is just my mother's bodyguard, from a far away country, a country that we can hardly imagine. On the day I was born, my mother died in childbirth, and my father was grieved, not because of his affection for my mother, but because he had not yet received from her the benefits of the plan. Teacher Hara told me that the queen mother had a deep affection for her father, and until her death, she did not know that she was just a victim of a political transaction. She is a pathetic woman. ”
"With the death of the political mediator, the queen mother's family gradually distanced itself from her father's dealings, and the marriage soon lost its value, and I survived as an appendage to a failed political alliance, my birth undermined my father's ambitions, and I was superfluous from the beginning."
Taking a sip of astringent wine into his throat, Chongsheng paused and continued.
"My father, Liwang Zheng Yin, the third-generation heir of Zheng Yong, the world's first god general, has the name of the evil tiger. After the queen mother closed her eyes, my father vented all his unwillingness and remorse, and he killed the woman he loved the most with his own hands for this deal, but he only got a useless heir like me. On the night of thunder and lightning, he swung his long sword and slashed wildly, cutting off the pillars of the main hall of the West Palace, the roof of the hall collapsed, and I cried in the rain in my swaddling clothes. That night, many palace people died under my father's sword, but I knew that the person he wanted to kill the most was me. ”
"When I was a baby, I caught the wind, and my body was very weak and sick since I was a child. Compared with Zheng Jing, the eldest brother who is strong and brave and has natural divine power, I am simply insulting the tiger name of the Zheng family. My father's affection never came to me, even though I had been so eager for the slightest attention from him. ”
Chongsheng used an extremely flat tone to hide the waves in his heart, but Ku Rong could feel the extremely turbulent emotional ups and downs in his heart.
"Become stronger, become a useful person, even if it becomes a sword and a pawn of your father. Driven by this belief, I underwent extremely rigorous study and training under the guidance of my former teacher at a young age. But the very loving eyes of my father on my eldest brother never came to me for a moment. Eleven years ago, I became the medium of another political transaction: when I became an adult, I married the eldest princess of Jun Guo and completed my secret marriage with Jun Guo. King Jun took a fancy to my status as the prince of the Holy Dynasty, and his request was that I must stay in the Kingdom of Jun in the form of a concubine after the marriage. I can only be the medium of this marriage because my father is reluctant to give up his eldest brother. ”
"Eight years ago, in the fifty-third year of the Qilin calendar, the Vietnam War broke out, and the eldest brother, as the commander, was surrounded by the iron barrel of the Yue Kingdom because of his greed for merit, and the 100,000 army was slaughtered. After the war, the Yue Kingdom became the most powerful country in the northeast of the Holy Dynasty, and the black-robed military division became famous in the first battle. After leaving the country and devastation, the father who lost his most beloved son lost his soul and took all the blame on the originally meritorious Master Shan Rong. In the rainstorm, the corpse of the eldest brother flowed fresh blood again, and that blood stimulated all the bestiality in his father's body. When his long sword fell, the young me stood in front of Master Shan Rong, leaving the scar on the center of my eyebrows. ”
Hearing this, Ku Rong was deeply touched, and that day he stood on the wall of the palace not far away from the country and witnessed this scene. Ku Rong raised the flask and touched it with Chongsheng, and drank the wine in the jug in one go.
"After the death of the eldest brother, the father became an old tiger with its fangs removed, without the ambition and domineering of the tiger, but the cruelty of the tiger intensified. As the only prince in the country, I still did not get any favor from my father, and I often heard my drunken father sigh in the palace, why not the waste. Soon after, his father began to favor Hu Ji, and soon the third brother was born. Until this time, I still did not give up to win the favor of my father, and at the beginning of the battle at the age of fourteen, I led the army to recover the Lingyun Pass, which had been lost in the Yue Kingdom for three years. When I returned triumphantly, I did not get praise and merit, but in my father's eyes, I saw something more terrible than indifference, a kind of fear, a kind of murderous intent. The credit was all given to Kohime's father. Can you understand that look? Chongsheng drank the rest of the wine and asked Ku Rong with a wry smile.
Ku Rong shook his head solemnly, the princely psychology was really beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
"It is a look of fear to the extreme, a look of hatred, a scrooge of fearing loss, a dying tiger, a resentful look, a look of any family affection that can be burned. For the sake of the third brother's future, Hu Ji and his party naturally regard me as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh, and they don't want me to die all the time. Fortunately, there is Mr. Hara. Teacher Yuan told me a word: Taoguang Yanghui. In a dangerous situation, I disguised my martial arts and talent, and began to become dissolute, weak and incompetent, and lose my fighting spirit. Every time my father smiled and said, "My son is a waster," my life is more secure. My father and Kohime tried me many times, and they were so satisfied with the results that they gradually relaxed their surveillance of me. ”
"On the other hand, I started to study and train harder. This time, it's not for my father to favor me, but just to be able to protect myself and live. In the years of confusion, I once asked Mr. Hara when this masked life would end. Teacher Yuan told me: Tiger poison does not eat children, etc.! The secret covenant with Junguo and the weak bond of the queen mother's family were the pitiful means by which I was able to survive in the palace. ”
The wind in the second half of the night gradually cooled, Ku Rong felt that Chongsheng beside him was trembling slightly, Ku Rong never thought that the son who was in the princely house had experienced so many ups and downs, and he also began to understand Chongsheng's secret style of covering up his strength all along, but why Chongsheng suddenly stopped hiding it, was it just because he was drunk?
"Perhaps because my notoriety has reached the ears of the Horseman, the Horseman is no longer keen on leaving the covenant between the two countries, and has repeatedly shirked my marriage to the Snow Princess. At the beginning of this year, under the huge political storm in the inner court of the Holy Dynasty, the queen mother's family was convicted, and I no longer had the power of the past, and I was confined in the palace after losing my use value, cut off from all contact with the outside world. My father even killed the white crane that I kept to deliver letters, and only my father could do such a thing as burning the harp and cooking the crane. So people are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, and when I die only depends on my father's mood. In March, Teacher Yuan sent someone to rescue me from the palace, and I embarked on the road of escape. Originally, I imagined that Hu Ji would send countless assassins, but strangely, since she fled, she actually went all the way safely until she met you. ”
"After Childe was imprisoned, my brother received a letterhead from the former teacher, and our two brothers planned to come together to rescue Childe, but I didn't expect my brother to die first." Ku Rong said and remembered the massacre of the Cloud King Palace that day.
"Forgive me for hiding my true self all this time, because I was afraid that my attack would alert Kohime and lead to a crazy hunt. Useless people naturally have no value in killing. But now, I can finally take off my mask and be myself. According to the words of the original teacher: After being in the cage for a long time, you can return to nature. It's a really good feeling. ”
"Is it because this place is far away from the country, so Childe no longer needs to disguise himself?"
"Nope! It was because of the letter from the Black Assassin. The letter was written by Hu Ji's father, and there was only one sentence on it: Don't return when you get out of the cage, you have to enjoy your life, and you will die if you return to the east. Sure enough, tiger poison does not eat children. After Chongsheng finished speaking, he stood up with a smile, and a look that had recovered from a long illness bloomed on his fair face.
"Ash. Teacher Hara said that under the reign of King Nioh and the rule of Qingming, all gloom will be illuminated by the sun and there will be nowhere to hide, the people will be happily bathed in this sunshine, and all the diseases related to pain and sorrow will melt warmly and turn into smiles all over the world. It was my dream to create an unprecedented prosperous world, and even now I am in a difficult situation, I have never given up. ”
"Your Royal Highness Zheng Xuan, I will follow you to make a comeback."
After Ku Rong finished speaking, Chong Sheng smiled and stretched out a hand, Ku Rong was stunned for a moment, and also stretched out his hand, and his two hands were tightly held under the moon.
"Create an unprecedented prosperous era!"
