The morning wind in the valley outside the Qiluo clan was fierce, blowing the tent loudly, although Qiao Chu and Emperor Yongle were sitting face to face, the morning light was shining, Emperor Yongle's face drooped slightly, Qiao Chu couldn't see what kind of look was on his face, the emperor's mind was the most difficult to guess, he thought, probably it wouldn't be good.

Bai Yu, who had been sitting behind Qiao Chu, felt that the atmosphere in the tent was extremely tense, as if a string would break at any time, he nervously scanned the two of them back and forth behind Qiao Chu with the corner of his eye, only to feel that the two people in front of him seemed to be a thunderbolt that had been ignited, and they would explode at any time.

For a long time, for a long time, Emperor Yongle raised his face in the golden light, and his eyes were full of wrinkles, and a lot of tiredness and sadness suddenly welled up, as if in an instant, he went from youth to twilight, and just finished his life. ”

Hearing his words, Qiao Chu sneered, and Emperor Yongle's voice seemed to be trembling, almost making Qiao Chu unable to hear or distinguish what he was saying, but Qiao Chu's heart clearly knew what Emperor Yongle was talking about.

"You've done so many wrong things, and you've got too many debts, don't you want to deal with the person you feel sorry for...... Do I make a repayment? Qiao Chu stared at him, wanting to see a trace of regret on his face.

But no.

Emperor Yongle's eyes were lowered, as if he was extremely tired, he slumped on the table, Qiao Chu stared at him for a moment, looking at his pale temples and cloudy eyes, full of stories of vicissitudes, but there was nothing else on his face except a little grief and residual anger.

The hand in Qiao Chu's sleeve was also trembling slightly, when did he start looking forward to it? From Emperor Yongle, the high-ranking monarch of heaven, unrealistically expect him to have a trace of remorse?

It's ridiculous!

"I have never regretted what Zhu Di has done in my life, I know what I want from beginning to end, everything I do is what I want the most, what I want to get, so even if I die, I will never regret it."

Emperor Yongle's eyes were ruthless, looking at Qiao Chu and smiling slightly, Qiao Chu knew that his smiling face without half a smile had no smiling face, since he ascended to the throne of the emperor, he had no seven emotions and six desires.

"Huh!"

Qiao Chu smiled lowly when he finished speaking, mocking, I don't know whether to laugh at his mother, or himself, or the living selfish person in front of him.

"Very well, I have nothing to say to you."

Qiao Chu stood up suddenly, got up without looking at him and walked out, Bai Yu hurriedly got up and followed him closely, looking at his fluttering sleeves, Bai Yu trembled and reached out, seeing that the eldest brother's sleeves were grabbed by him in the palm of his hand, the terrible old man behind him suddenly said: "You can go, but he can't." ”

Qiao Chu paused, Bai Yu's hand also paused there, Bai Yu watched Qiao Chu turn around slowly, looking at the sad look in his eyes, Bai Yu's heart sank, he looked at him with pleading eyes, he said, "Big brother, you ...... Will you leave me again? ”

Qiao Chu's heart ached faintly, his mother's dying entrustment still seemed to be remembered in his ears, and her voice was like a rock pressing on his heart: "Chu'er, my mother is gone, I owe you in this life, but you have to take care of your younger brother ......, he is still too young, God is too cruel to him, don't abandon him." ”

Qiao Chu lowered his eyebrows and looked at the younger brother in front of him, took a deep breath and said, "Bai Yu, there are some things you have to decide by yourself. ”

Bai Yu shook his head eagerly, still looking at him with anticipation, and kept shaking his head: "Big brother, don't leave me alone...... My only loved one is you. ”

Qiao Chuxin's head was shocked by Bai Yu's words, his eyes missed him, and he looked at Emperor Yongle at the table, he was still leaning there, his eyes closed as if he had fallen asleep, and the whole person exuded an aura that seemed to be cold and inspiring.

Qiao Chu knew that he was waiting for him to explain to Bai Yu, but now, he really couldn't control Bai Yu's fate, which was too unfair to him.

"Bai Yu, in this world, you are not only my relative, you also have the closest person." Qiao Chu held his shoulders with both hands, and his hands were unconsciously forced.

Bai Yu frowned and felt slightly pained, but he didn't make a sound, he just looked at Qiao Chu anxiously, he didn't understand his words, who else would be the closest person in this world besides the eldest brother......

"The guy behind you, he ...... It's your biological father. Qiao Chu finally opened his mouth, holding Bai Yu's hand and slowly sending it away, as if his strength had been exhausted.

Bai Yu was stunned at first when he heard this, and then he was startled, and then he turned around to look at the old man who was dressed ordinarily but had murderous eyes, and Emperor Yongle also opened his eyes at the same moment and met Bai Yu's gaze.

This glance made Bai Yu stumble suddenly, and the feeling in his heart changed from shock to fear, he had never been so scared as he was today, more afraid than when his grandmother left, even more afraid than when he left with that cruel woman, panicked...... Bai Yu didn't know what he was afraid of.

Is it the old man in front of you?

"Bai Yu, now your path should be taken by yourself, in the twenty-five years of the dungeon, my grandmother also taught you this worldly court, you should also know his identity, and it is up to you how to choose the road in the future." Qiao Chu spoke in a deep voice behind him, and every word seemed to hit his heart.

Bai Yu didn't seem to be able to accept it, his chest rose and fell and he gasped, covering his head with his hands, and suddenly felt that this day had experienced more than he had experienced in twenty-five years, for so many years, he had never heard his grandmother mention his father, and he never thought that he would have a father, and he was also the son of heaven above ten thousand people!

"Son, I am your father!" Emperor Yongle stood up suddenly, saying the warmest words in the world, but with the most majestic and calm voice in the world, he stepped forward, and his cold knife-like eyes rarely showed a loving look, he stretched out his hand towards Bai Yu: "Your mother is gone, but your father is still there, you can rest assured, I will get back all the grievances you have suffered for you one by one!" Those who have bullied you and persecuted you, I will make them pay with blood! ”

Qiao Chu sneered, he looked at Emperor Yongle coldly, and said: "Why, does Your Majesty want to kill all your mother's clansmen, if your mother knows that her clansmen were slaughtered by her former husband, do you think she will forgive you?" ”

"I've tolerated them for twenty-five years!" Emperor Yongle suddenly raised his palm and slapped it on the table, and scolded him violently, which made his old face distorted, making people frightened, he still seemed to feel puzzled, pacing back and forth on the ground, and finally he stopped in front of Qiao Chu's eyes, his eyes were as cold as ice in winter: "If it weren't for your mother, I would have stepped on the Qiluo tribe a long time ago, just like the Wu tribe back then!" ”

"Whatever you think, it is a matter of time before you set foot in the Qiluo clan, and who in this world does not know your ambitions, but if you want Bai Yu to be out of the twenty-five confinement, the first thing he sees is a river of blood, the killing of corpses everywhere, and the perpetrator is still his father, you can do it." Qiao Chu glanced at him with a sneer after speaking, turned around and left, unwilling to stay with him for a moment longer.

The body of Emperor Yongle behind him shook, as if he had been hit by Qiao Chu's words, he slowly raised his eyes to look at Bai Yu, but saw that his gaze trembled more and more, Emperor Yongle's heart ached, did he make him so frightened?

"Big brother, I'll go with you!" Bai Yu grabbed Qiao Chu's sleeve violently, pulled him forward and said, "Big brother, don't leave me!" ”

"Presumptuous, I am your father!" Emperor Yongle was furious, his red eyes showed resentment, he glared at Bai Yu fiercely, and reprimanded loudly!

"No, no, you're not my father, I'm ...... I only have big brother! In the face of his anger, Bai Yu obviously flinched, but the stubbornness in his bones did not tolerate him bowing his head.

"Do you know what you're talking about?" Emperor Yongle almost spit out the words from between his teeth, Qiao Chu seemed to have known this ending for a long time, with a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth, Emperor Yongle suddenly turned his head and glared at him, and said gloomily: "Qiao Chu, you think I don't dare to kill you!" ”

Qiao Chu looked at him coldly, this was the second time he said that he wanted to kill him after meeting with Emperor Yongle.

"You really don't dare to kill me."

Suddenly, Qiao Chu's eyes became distant, as if he saw him and his mother twenty-five years ago from his body, the corners of his mouth gradually picked up a mocking smile, and then his eyes narrowed slightly, and he slowly met his gaze, and said word by word: "Otherwise, you won't tolerate me living presumptuously for so many years, aren't you, Your Majesty!" ”

Qiao Chu deliberately accentuated the last two words, pulled Bai Yu's wrist, didn't look at the emperor who was slightly swaying because of his words, looked down at Bai Yu, he softened his voice and said softly: "Bai Yu, since you have made a choice, then no one can keep you today, my brother will definitely protect you to the death!" ”

With that, he took Bai Yu's hand and walked towards the outside of the tent, the moment the tent door opened, in addition to the morning breeze that came in, there was also a group of agile soldiers.

Qiao Chu knew that there would be such a scene, his eyes were full of strange brilliance, his usual graceful smile, with a sharp edge, he didn't seem to put this group of swords-rattling soldiers in his eyes: "Your Majesty really moved the heart of slaughter." ”

Emperor Yongle supported the edge of the table with his hand, and the attendant immediately stepped forward to help him, but he was vigorously pushed away, he raised his eyes at the backs of the two people at the door, and said in a low voice: "Qiao Chu, do you think that you will come in and go out, I will not kill you, and there are thousands of ways to deal with you." ”

Qiao Chu raised his eyebrows disapprovingly, tilted his head and said, "Since I dare to come here, I have naturally made all preparations. ”

Emperor Yongle frowned and said, "What preparations?" ”

"I'll trade one person for you." Qiao Chu turned to look at Emperor Yongle, his eyes were gloomy: "How about I exchange my mother's body for the freedom of white jade?" ”
