Chapter 40: Guidance

The fish maw that gradually rises in the sky is shrouded in the smoke rising below, and it is blurred.

The light never seemed to be able to break through this barrier, and the occasional few vultures flying in the sky added a bit of loneliness and coldness to the scene.

Looking down, there are ruins everywhere, and the air is filled with the smell of soot and loess, like a post-disaster ruin.

Stains of blood can still be seen on the remaining broken wall, and a lonely dead man's arm is swaying in the wind on the pile of rubble not far away, and there are only a few strands of flesh and skin connected to the joints.

The streets have changed beyond recognition, and the prosperity of the past is no longer possible, and now you can only rely on the style and materials of bricks and tiles to roughly distinguish where you are in the city.

That's right, this is the Sisheng Street in the middle of Nanguo City, and a little further on is the former Shenwu Square, which was the most crowded place in the past. Now the lonely wind is blowing, rolling up the remains of branches and stones left on the ground, slowly engulfing a once prosperous place.

......

Under a certain ruin, a pile of fine rubble covered it, through the gap, vaguely heard some subtle movements, a passing lemming jumped on the stone pile, and actually took care of himself with his two little paws to freshen up, obviously this disaster has little impact on some small lives.

Suddenly, a stone slipped down, and the startled little thing squeaked, and it was already gone.

Looking back at the place where the abnormal noise was made just now, a slender jade hand stretched out from the crack in the stone, but the dark red blood stains on it that had dried up made people feel a little secretly distressed, and the jade hand trembled, proving its owner's tenacious will to live.

Gradually, the movement became louder and louder, and the surrounding rocks were slowly pushed away by the people inside, and the gaps exposed became larger and larger.

When the last straw holding the camel is removed, it can no longer hide its majestic posture.

The owner of the jade hand finally escaped from here, seeking a glimmer of life from this dangerous place.

If you look closely, it's Aunt Li. I saw her slowly straighten her waist, her body was covered with dirty dust, and her clothes were also scraped out of several large holes by sharp stones, and it was difficult to hide the magnificent scenery in it.

The most shocking thing is that the bright red blood stain on Aunt Li's forehead is still slowly flowing along half of the jade face.

Aunt Li was already exhausted at this time, but even at this time she did not forget to do something, turned her head and took out a swaddling cloth that was more than a foot long from behind her, and looked like the baby who had lived in the luxurious palace before.

Aunt Li tightened the swaddling clothes in front of her, slowly climbed out of the ruins, and slowly disappeared from view, leaving only a deep and a light blood-colored footprint in place.

The wind blew, wrapped up in dust and buried it all in it, leaving no trace. It's just that the previous prince has never seen him appear again.

......

Consciousness slowly became clear, slowly withdrawing consciousness from the mental space, and the next second Jiawen returned to the attic where he and Aunt Li were together.

Aunt Li first opened her eyes and looked at the person opposite, but did not ask loudly, and seemed to be very patient.

On the other hand, Jiawen's eyelids twitched, his brows were tightly locked, and he must not be calm in his heart.

After a long time, Jiawen opened his eyes and looked at each other, not knowing how to speak for a while.

There was silence for a long time, but it was Aunt Li who broke the silence first. "I've told you everything you want to know, and now it's time to tell me the answer in your heart. ”

"So, do I still have the blood of the royal family in my body?" Before Jiawen knew that his surname was exactly the same as today's royal family, he didn't care too much, just regarded it as a coincidence, who would have thought that there are so many coincidences in this world, often the most direct and the most real.

"If it's fake, pure royal blood," Aunt Li stated this fact calmly.

"So, what am I going to do, what am I going to do to get Aunt Nai out of their hands. "Jiawen is clear-headed at this time, calm and terrifying.

"You have two choices now," Aunt Li said as she sat upright and said aloud.

Jiawen also narrowed his eyes and listened carefully.

"One is that you have to change your name and surname from now on, and find a secluded place to live in seclusion, as if nothing happened, and if you are lucky, you can live the rest of your life in peace. Aunt Li's tone was flat when she said this, and she didn't involve any other emotions.

Obviously, this is the way to protect one's life, and it is the best choice if you only care about your own surname. Realizing this, Gavin pursed his lips and continued to wait for the following.

"The second hemp, it is difficult to say, and it is easy to say. ”

"As long as you can regain the throne, you will naturally be able to control the Temple of Light, the Holy Religion of the Protector of the Country. When the time comes, Shen Zhaoxue will not be caught. ”

"To be the emperor? Jiawen looked confused, although he was still young, but he also knew the position of the emperor in people's minds, not the kind of hairy boy who was carried away.

Aunt Li didn't force him to answer, just waited quietly.

Jiawen sat there, his heart changed, and countless thoughts flashed through his heart in an instant.

After a long time, Jiawen sighed, "The emperor or something is still too far away for me, I have self-knowledge,"

After a pause, his eyes lit up, he spoke again, "But if you want to hurt my family, you have to step over me." ”

In an instant, Aunt Li, who was sitting opposite, seemed to feel a fierce young beast roaring on the opposite side, although the momentum was small, but it was difficult to hide the kingly posture on its body.

Aunt Li's lips curved into an arc, presumably very satisfied with Jiawen's performance.

Waving his hand, he pulled out a letter from his sleeve, which was not signed, and handed it to Jiawen.

"After a while, you immediately pack up, take Lucy and the two of you from the side gate of the main city, walk through the edge of the Phantom Mountain Range, and go to the Deep Blue Academy in the center of the Shenlong Sea. ”

"Here's the map," Aunt Li said, pulling out a parchment-like object and handing it to Gavin.

Jiawen took it and took a cursory look, it was a brief road map, fortunately, it was easy to understand.

"You'll get what you want there," Aunt Li slowly stood up and looked at Gavin.

"What do I want?" said Gavin.
