Chapter 35: The Moat

In the hazy morning light, the city gates had just opened.

Father and you, as well as Wu Shun and his retinue, rode across the moat of the city.

After crossing the bridge over the moat, you return to your horse and look at the tall and sturdy walls behind you in the early morning light. You stop there and look at it for a while.

Father rode near you. He said: "When I first came to Dongcheng, I really didn't want to stay for two more days and look around?" ”

You shake your head. You say, "Back to Father." My son has already seen everything he should have seen. ”

Father said: "After all, the new king is still young, and he has not yet been to the battlefields in the north and south, and it is reasonable that he does not have a deep understanding of many situations and cannot judge the right and wrong of your ideas for a while." I believe that in time, he will slowly change his mind. ”

You shake your head. You say, "Thank you, father, for your relief." Actually, the son wasn't thinking about King Han just now. The son was thinking about General Lei Shicheng. ”

Father said: "General Lei is so important to you, it is really something that my father did not expect before. The next time you meet, you'll have the chance to see him again. ”

You said to your father, "After we said goodbye to General Lei that day, when he watched us leave Miyagi Square from behind, he wondered if he should send someone to kill me on the way. ”

Your words surprised my father. The father said, "Don't talk nonsense, how is it possible?!" Why did he kill you? ”

"He fears that I will be used by the enemy, or that I will set up my own door. If you want to take advantage of my fledgling wings and lack of defense, you will strike first. ”

The father said, "How do you know what is in his heart?" ”

You say, "When a person has murderous intent in his heart, there is a murderous aura around him, and I can feel it." ”

Again, Father is surprised by your words. He said in his heart that this child's intuition is indeed very keen, and it may not be wrong to say so. However, he still doesn't believe that Lei Shicheng will want to kill you.

My father said, "General Lei is a well-known gentleman. He would never do such a thing. ”

You say, "Yes, he's a decent man." A gentleman is not doing something. ”

As you spoke, you made a salutation gesture towards the wall from a distance. Farewell.

You say to your father, "Father, let us go home." Then you turn your horse's head and gallop forward.

Your horses' hooves raise a light dust in the rising sun.

Since that day, you have not entered the city again. But you have brought about this majestic city and changed its owner.
