When Zhou Fengming left the observation tower, it was already the second half of the night.

The lights are bright all around, and the voices are boiling.

The big game continues.

He didn't speak much for more than an hour, just listened to Zhang Chaoyang's reminiscences, and Zhang Qingfeng sent Zhou Fengming downstairs instead of his father and grandfather.

After going downstairs, he didn't rush back, just accompanied the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty to take a leisurely walk in the bustling crowd.

Li, dressed in a black robe, was fifty meters behind and silently followed behind the two. As a personal guard, Zhang Qingfeng has her shadow everywhere he goes.

The middle-aged coachman who was called by Zhou Fengming to be the sixth brother drove the carriage and hung far away, waiting for the call at any time.

The two walked side by side, neither of them speaking.

After passing through two streets, Zhou Fengming suddenly took out a letter and handed it to Zhang Qingfeng.

"This is a letter you wrote to me, the road from Quanyang City to Baiyuezong is not close, it is not easy to deliver the letter to me, when I went downstairs tonight, I found that the brother who called himself a rabbit who sent the letter was in the building, and I also noticed that every guard in your building exudes an invisible murderous aura, although Grandpa Zhang is the God of War of the Great Zhou, but he can't cultivate this kind of warrior, they are all taught by you?"

Zhang Qingfeng smiled faintly, but the words he said were not shocking.

"In order to survive, there is no way, your father who is the emperor thinks every day how to kill Wu Anhou, if I don't train a few right-hand men, I don't know how many times I have been killed, how can I still accompany you to walk around the market like now?"

Zhou Fengming sighed and said, "Regarding the contradiction between my father and Grandpa Zhang, I have tried my best, but as a junior, it is too difficult and difficult to change his mind, besides, he did that kind of inhumane thing to you back then, how can you not worry about Grandpa Zhang's revenge?"

Zhang Qingfeng glanced at Zhou Fengming, and his expression was playful: "What about you? Your mother was originally a palace maid, and you were born after His Majesty lost her body after drinking, but as a result, not only did you fail to get a name, but you were forced to commit suicide, you didn't think about revenge?"

Zhou Fengming obviously didn't expect Zhang Qingfeng to mention this past that he didn't want to think about, his body stiffened slightly, he suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Zhang Qingfeng violently, and a flash of anger flashed in his eyes.

Everyone has secrets.

This is true of the wealthy and powerful, and the same is true of ordinary people.

Since ancient times, the higher the status, the more secrets hidden in the high-walled compound of the fame, but ordinary people have no way of knowing.

Zhou Fengming, one of the twin stars of the Great Zhou Dynasty in Yangcheng, the people of the city all know that he is the eldest son of Emperor Zhou, and they all think that he is the son of Queen Zhou, but they don't know that his biological mother is just a palace maid who has just entered the palace.

Very few people know about this secret.

Since the few insiders have not been extinguished, they naturally have the consciousness of keeping their mouths shut, and Zhang Chaoyang is one of them.

Being stared at by Zhou Fengming's murderous eyes, Zhang Qingfeng was not nervous at all, but smiled: "Don't look at me like this, you can appear in front of me today precisely because you have a different background from ordinary princes, otherwise, I would not have written this letter to you." ”

Zhou Fengming took a deep breath, his face finally softened, and he continued to move forward.

Zhang Qingfeng said again: "Fifteen years ago, your father who was the emperor took away my bones, when my grandfather chased out in a rage, just when the emperor was about to be killed, it was you who blocked a shot for him, grandpa was angry, abandoned the gun and left, since then the relationship between the Zhou and Zhang families has completely broken down, and you, although you saved your father with your body, but because you were dissatisfied with His Majesty's approach and fell out with him, quietly left Quanyang, this walk is fifteen years." ”

"Over the years, under the acquiescence and connivance of His Majesty, the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion has been suppressed by other princes, but Grandpa has always insisted on not leaving Quanyang City, and he has endured His Majesty again and again, the reason for this is of course related to repaying kindness, but there is another reason for you, because he thinks that if you come to sit on the throne of the Great Zhou in the future, you will definitely be a good emperor. ”

"But I don't want to be an emperor at all. Zhou Fengming interjected.

Zhang Qingfeng asked rhetorically: "Do you not want to?" or can't?"

Zhou Fengming's expression was slightly condensed, and he did not respond immediately.

Zhang Qingfeng seemed to have made up his mind to uncover Zhou Fengming's scars and sprinkle a handful of salt, and said: "Although you are the prince, but your mother is not the concubine that Your Majesty is marrying after all, and according to Zhou Law, she is not qualified to inherit the throne." You should also understand in your heart that the reason why Your Majesty valued you back then was entirely because of your cultivation talent, and that day you were pierced by your grandfather with a shot at Huihai, although you saved Your Majesty's life, but I don't need to tell you how he did to you later, right?

Zhou Fengming's face was expressionless and silent.

Zhang Qingfeng sneered: "In front of me, you don't need to pretend to be deep, if you really don't want to be the emperor, you won't come back, and if you continue to pretend like this, it will only make people feel bored." ”

"You're right, I'm not reconciled. ”

Zhou Fengming finally couldn't help but speak, and a look of pain flashed in his eyes.

"All of this you just said really happened to me, but what can I do? Just because I was born from a bad background, no matter how hard I tried, I was not qualified to inherit the throne, just because I was born of a palace maid, everything I did for my father and emperor was regarded as flattering and flattering, and I was scolded as a cheap breed behind my back! I do want revenge, but the enemy is either my father or my half-brother or sister, you say, what can I do? Cannibalism? I can't do it, so I have to leave. ”

Speaking of this, the expression on Zhou Fengming's face gradually became solemn, he turned his head to look at Zhang Qingfeng, and said word by word: "But there is one thing you are wrong, I came back this time not for the throne, nor for the sake of the Jiujia name, but for the people of the Great Zhou!"

"No matter how sorry my father is for me, no matter how much my people despise me, it is all my family matter, and no one outside is qualified to make irresponsible remarks!"

"No matter how weak the Great Zhou is, it was also my grandfather who led thousands of troops and horses to fight with blood and bones, and as a Zhou person, I have the responsibility to protect the land and wealth he left to our descendants!"

"To tell you the truth, my father had already written to me half a year ago, and he had written no less than a dozen letters before and after, promising countless benefits, and even hinting that as long as I could come back, he would give me a chance to compete with other brothers for the throne fairly, until tonight when I saw him, he thought I was moved by his promise, and this is what makes me the saddest part. ”

"Do you know why I like your grandfather? Because he is the only true saint in the Great Zhou Dynasty who has no self in his heart but the people! This is something that my father can't do, other princes can't do, the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military ministers can't do, and even Father-in-law Xu can't do it!"

Take a deep breath and exhale slowly.

"In the past few days, I have heard a lot of rumors about you, everything you have done in the past year has surprised me, tonight, I also see that Grandpa Zhang values and trusts you, and he can rest assured that the Zhang family will be in your hands is enough to explain everything. ”

"But there's one problem, I still don't believe it. ”

Zhang Qingfeng looked at Zhou Fengming with a calm face, "You say." ”

"You are only sixteen years old, even if the Dao bone is repaired and the cultivation speed is against the sky, it is impossible to change from a waste to the first person of the younger generation of martial arts cultivation geniuses in the Great Zhou in just over a year, so ......"

"So what?"

"So you have to prove yourself. ”

Zhou Fengming pointed to the dueling platform not far away, his eyes narrowed, "My Great Zhou Twin Star won't casually listen to the shouts of a yellow-mouthed kid, or can you show me a first name?"
