When Duan Chen opened his eyes again, the familiar scene around him made him stunned.

Duan Chen vaguely remembered that before he fell into a coma, his breath was very weak, and at that time, even a woman who was powerless could wipe herself out at will.

Nowadays, however, ......

"Brother, are you awake?" Seeing Duan Chen wake up, a girl's surprised voice suddenly sounded.

Hearing the sound, Duan Chen sat up from the bed, and saw that beside the bed, there were two figures, standing aside with a worried look.

The two of them were none other than Yun Xuan and Duan Lime, and at this moment, the latter, with beautiful eyes as clear as a stream, had already turned red, and a little fatigue could be vaguely seen on the small face.

"Young Master, you're awake, you've been in a coma for seven days!" At this time, Yun Xuan stepped forward and said.

"Seven days?" Duan Chen was stunned, and then suddenly came over.

Seven days ago, he summoned the "Underworld", and the soul power consumed, as well as the strong aura in his body, made him extremely weak, and being in a coma for seven days was nothing.

"Miss, you better go back to the house and rest for a while! Your unwavering care for the past seven days, coupled with the fact that you haven't eaten much food, makes your body extremely weak. Yun Xuan said.

"Nizi, you come!" Duan Chen beckoned, motioning for Duan Lime to come over.

Xiao Nizi obediently walked to the bedside and winked playfully at Duan Chen, looking quite cute.

"I'm sorry for you, silly Nizi!" Duan Chen gently stroked the girl's fair face, and blamed himself:

"Over the years, I've been miserable for you, my mother left early, he... I haven't been in the house all the year round, so that my brothers and sisters are lonely, and because in the past three years, I have been immersed in penance, so that you have been wronged, and you have no place to cry. ”

The "he" that Duan Chen refers to is naturally the father of the two, Duan Tianya.

"Brother..."Hearing Duan Chen mention his mother, the girl whose eyes were already red fell directly into Duan Chen's arms, and then sobbed drippingly.

"Okay, silly Nizi, isn't there a brother here!"

Duan Chen caressed the girl's back and said softly: "Believe in brother, I will never let you suffer the slightest grievance in the future." ”

Next, after the two talked for a while, the girl fell asleep in Duan Chen's arms.

Looking at the girl's delicate little face, there were still a few tears like crystal droplets, Duan Chen's eyes were bright and resolute and said: "This kind of thing, I won't let it happen again..."

"Xuanzi, take this little girl down to rest and rest!"

"Hmm!" Yun Xuan replied, picked up the girl from Duan Chen's arms, and left the house.

"It seems that I have to hurry up my cultivation, there is less than a month left, and the year-end assessment is coming..."

After the two of them left the room, Duan Chen raised his head and looked out the window.

During the conversation with Duan Qinglime, Duan Chen learned why he was in a coma and could return to the house safely.

It turned out that the night before Duan Chen returned to the mansion that day, Duan Qingling had already repaired the book and sent it to the mansion, and Duan Tianya, who learned about it, sent elite soldiers to pick up the three of them.

Otherwise, Duan Chen is afraid... Everything points to disaster.

"Gotta get that parchment scroll from the old fellow. ”

Duan Chen suddenly remembered what happened before he fell unconscious that day.

That parchment scroll, for some reason, gave Duan Chen a sense of incomprehension.

Duan Chen got dressed and washed casually in the house, then pushed the door and walked out.

Out of the house, Duan Chen walked straight to Duan Tianya's residence.

Coming to the door of a huge house, Duan Chen was about to knock on the door when suddenly an old voice sounded.

"Young master, the master is waiting for you in the family ancestral hall!"

Duan Chen turned around and saw an old man smiling kindly at him.

This person is the old housekeeper of the Duan family, who has been a slave in the Duan family since he was a child, managing daily chores, speaking of which, he is an extremely professional and loyal old man.

"Hmm!" Duan Chen nodded and walked towards the family ancestral hall.

The ancestral ancestral hall is located in the backyard of the Duan family, and under normal circumstances, no one is allowed to set foot in this place except for the head of the family.

Soon, Duan Chen came to the backyard.

At this moment, what appeared in front of Duan Chen's eyes was a quaint house, which was not too big or magnificent.

The door of the house was not closed, and Duan Chen saw a tall figure, standing with his back to Duan Chen.

Duan Chen walked into the ancestral hall, and before he could speak, he only heard a vigorous and powerful voice, which came over.

"You're here?"

Duan Chen didn't pay attention to the person in front of him, but instead looked at everything in the room with curiosity.

In the middle of the house, there is a large long table at the front, and on top of the wooden table, there are hundreds of spiritual seats, standing quietly.

"Hehe... Chen'er, my father knows, you have hated your father since you were a child, the reason? It's just for your mother's death... In your heart, you may have always thought that the reason why your mother left was related to my perennial guarding of the border gates, right?"

Duan Tianya slowly turned around, smiled bitterly, and said.

"Do you want to hear about the situation in Longyan County now?"

Duan Chen was a little speechless, obviously mentioning his mother, why did he change the topic again? However, Duan Chen still did not speak.

"Now the Longyan County where we are located is Longyan County, one of the thirty-six counties of Ziyun, even among these thirty-six counties, our Longyan County can also be ranked in the top ten. ”

"And do you know that above these thirty-six counties, there is also a behemoth above the thirty-six counties, the Purple Cloud Dynasty. ”

Duan Chen didn't make a sound, just listened quietly.

"The Purple Cloud Dynasty, a family with thousands of years of heritage, they are in the thirty-six counties of Ziyun, it can be said that they cover the sky with one hand, they want the wind to get the wind, they want the rain to get the rain, no one dares to challenge their authority, even if the thirty-six counties join hands, I'm afraid... Nor is it its opponent. ”

"Moreover, they firmly govern the thirty-six counties, and every five years, they will hold a big competition in the imperial capital. ”

"This kind of competition is only for the younger generation, but all the juniors who can stand out from it will get ahead and become famous all over the world, and they will gain their power and get a lot of gains. ”

"And the reason why our Longyan County is able to stand tall is because of one person, that is the eldest prince of the royal family, Long Feiyang. ”

"This son is not only talented, but also has the attribute of thunder, such talent, even in this Purple Cloud Thirty-six County, among the younger generation, he can squeeze into the top ten. ”

"It's just that this little Longyan Junguo is not as simple as you think. ”

"Is it because of the Northern Waiting?"

Hearing this, Duan Chen suddenly asked.

"Not bad. Duan Tianya stroked his beard and said: "This person's strength is profound, and he is not much better than being a father, and more importantly, more than half of the princes under him have submitted to him, and his power is too great." ”

"Fortunately, in the past, with the support of the royal family, my Duan family, and the Bai family, I was able to stabilize my head, so that Debei Youhou did not dare to act rashly. ”

"Not long ago, however, the king did... Because he was in a hurry to cultivate, he went mad, and although he ended up worrying about his life, he suffered extremely serious internal injuries, and his strength fell back again and again. ”

Speaking of this, Duan Tianya looked at Duan Chen.

"Are you worried that Beiyouhou will make a move, and take the position in one fell swoop?" Duan Chen said.

"Yes, Bei Youhou is a man, ruthless, and ambitious, if this person ascends the throne, at that time, presumably, the royal family will never leave a single person alive. ”

"And in this way, in the next imperial capital competition, which junior in my Longyan County can beat the crowd?"

"At that time, the overall strength of the entire Longyan County will plummet, I'm afraid... It is not impossible to lose a country. ”

Duan Tianya's face rose with a solemn look at this moment.

"Then what does this have to do with the death of my mother?" Duan Chen said the most incomprehensible thing.

"Now, I have to tell you, your mother, she is actually the sister of the current king, and she is a member of the royal family. ”

"My Duan family has been a general for ten generations, and has made countless contributions to the county and country, and in my generation, there are countless military achievements, so the king gave marriage to my Duan family. ”

"At that time, the old man was alive, and that day was the old man's sixtieth birthday, on that day, countless forces from Long Yan County gathered to congratulate him. ”

"And on that day, your mother happened to be outside a house, and heard the ambition of the wolf son of the Northern Youhou, and when he knew about it, he ordered someone to poison the king's wine. ”

"And at the banquet, when your mother was pouring wine for the king, she accidentally dropped the wine glass to the ground, and the wine was mixed with poison. ”

"And then, my mother... He was executed by the king?" Duan Chen asked in a cold tone.

At this moment, Duan Chen's face was full of anger, as if he was about to explode into a ferocious wolf, terrifying and cold.

"It's not, it's... Dragon Heaven. When Duan Tianya said this, he also had a fierce look on his face, but his tone was full of unwillingness and helplessness.

"After being found to be poisonous, Bei Youhou was killed by his palm bombardment before your mother could defend herself. ”

"In this regard, the king and I are naturally very angry, but due to the strength of Long Youtian's power and his murder for the king, the two of us have to break our teeth and swallow it in our stomachs. ”

"After all, no matter what, that day's banquet was set up by my Duan family. Speaking of this, Duan Tianya blamed himself with a face.

“...”

Duan Chen was dumbfounded, the reason why Duan Chen didn't want to see Duan Tianya since he was a child was because when the former was sensible, he didn't say a word about his mother, even if Duan Qingya was forced to do so, Duan Tianya refused to tell him.

Of course, there is also the reason why the king deliberately blocked this matter, after all, this matter is related to the majesty of the royal family.

And because Duan Tianya has been guarding the border all the year round, Duan Chen and Duan Qingling believe that the death of their mother must be inseparable from Duan Tianya.

"I'm sorry, Chen'er, being a father may not be a good father, nor is he a good husband. Suddenly, a voice full of self-reproach sounded.

"Over the years, my father knows that the reason why your cultivation is slow is probably because you have been obsessed with this matter, and you have always shown yourself as a young master, and my father is also extremely helpless about this, but fortunately, the talent you show is not amazing, and this, from a certain point of view, is a good thing. ”

"As a general who protects the country, my father can be described as a high and powerful position, and in the army, he is extremely powerful, and in addition, if you are talented, at that time, Beiyouhou will definitely attack you. ”

"You also know that because of the harassment of several neighboring countries, therefore, I have been guarding the border all the year round, and I am not allowed to return to my home all day long, so I cannot protect you. ”

"This time, if it weren't for the king's order to return to my house, I'm afraid... You're not going to be spared!"

"Hey, I think my Duan family has been a general for ten generations, and has made many feats, but in the end they all died in battle, hehe, all this is fate!" Duan Tianya sighed melancholy.

"Poof"

Duan Chen knelt down suddenly, and then kowtowed heavily to Duan Tianya.

Although Duan Chen didn't have any feelings for this father, whether it was for Duan Chen, the former master, or for Duan Tianya's life-saving grace a few days ago, Duan Chen's gift still had to be repaid.

"Chen'er, get up quickly. Duan Tianya was stunned when he saw this, he couldn't imagine that this stubborn boy would also have a soft day.

Standing up, Duan Chen looked at Duan Tianya with a firm gaze, and said, "Father, my mother's enmity, my son will definitely do his best to avenge it!"

After speaking, Duan Chen was about to turn around and leave, when he suddenly thought of something, and smiled at Duan Tianya: "Dad, can you give me that sheepskin scroll?"

"You kid..." Duan Tianya hesitated for a moment, but still handed it to Duan Chen.

"Thank you Dad, the year-end assessment will soon be a big deal for you. ”

The words fell, but Duan Chen's figure disappeared into the ancestral hall.

"This kid..."Looking at Duan Chen's back, Duan Tianya smiled bitterly and was speechless, and after a long time, he said: "The cultivation determination described in that sheepskin scroll is absolutely extraordinary, think about it, the reason why Chen'er's combat power is so strong, I'm afraid, there is a master behind him to help..."

"Silly boy, there is not much that a father can do for you, but I swear to my father that nothing like your mother will ever happen. ”
