Chapter 21 Shooting Stars
It was a bleak night, the moon was hiding in the thick clouds, there was no light on the earth, and the dark night was a little frustrating, but also lonely and frightened.
On the 'Purple Mountain' outside the imperial city of the 'Cold Mountain Country', next to a newly erected tomb stood a young man dressed in white.
At this moment he was looking up, and there was no light in the night sky.
The dark, deep night sky gave the youth a feeling of suffocation, and that feeling was so intense.
But he has no way to change, he can't escape, he can only face it, he has to accept it.
Accept this feeling as if he is on the verge of death, because he has no power to break through the boundless darkness.
Suddenly, a meteor streaked across the sky, shining like a sharp blade breaking through the black curtain.
Its appearance seems to bring a glimmer of hope to the people living in this boundless night.
This young man in a white shirt, in this endless darkness, is as bright and dazzling as this meteor.
So is he as ephemeral as this meteor?
The young man had been watching the meteor pass away, and the meteor was finally swallowed up by the night, and the meteor failed to defeat the night sky.
Maybe the meteor is just a loser, and it eventually disappears, but it has to fight like this, just like this young man, because he has no choice.
It wasn't until there was no trace of the meteor that the young man withdrew his farsighted gaze, and he sighed and then groaned, "Look up at the dark night sky,
The stars break through the dome and disappear in the night.
Destiny is unbearable,
Pray for the stars to break the sky.
"Rest in peace, Father, and the child will avenge you. The young man said softly.
"You're only twenty-one years old this year, and your life has just begun, so you don't have to be so bleak.
Since ancient times, which heroes and heroes have not suffered many tribulations, this may be the meaning of God.
God is fair, the more you lose now, the more you will be rewarded in the future. β
A gentle but powerful voice said.
The white-shirted young man looked back, and he asked eagerly in the darkness: "Who are you? A month ago, you said to me that I was destined to commit a wolf, a person who is a heavenly evil, and as soon as my twenty-first birthday is over, my natal star will enter the middle palace, and my loved ones will be killed, and I can't take a wife and have children in this life, otherwise my wife will be separated and my family will be ruined."
Unless I can find a person who has the appearance of 'both blessings and misfortunes,' and accompany him for a long time, use his blessings to ward off my misfortunes, and use his calamities to break my life, then I can keep my wife and children safe for life. β
But the man standing in the dark did not answer, he just asked calmly, "Do you believe it now?"
The white-shirted young man nodded and said with a wry smile: "What else do I not believe, I have suffered this great calamity, and I am the only one left in the whole family, how can I not believe it, but everything is not important now." β
The man seemed to have guessed what the young man was thinking, and he opened his mouth to warn the white-shirted young man: "Do you want to take revenge? Then it will take ten years, and with your own strength, you will not be able to kill your enemy now, and do not do things that will fail in the first place." β
The white-shirted young man actually laughed when he heard this, and he said: "If my life is like this, even if I can't kill him now, I don't think I will be killed by others! β
With that, he turned and walked away.
The man didn't stop the young man, he just said: "Life is impermanent, and the way of heaven lasts forever.
Heaven is fair, you won't die, when you want to escape, go to the Abyss Kingdom!
There is someone you are looking for, and sometimes people's feelings are very accurate, so go find them with your own feelings!
If you want to take revenge on this deep hatred, you will definitely use the power of that person, and you will succeed.
There are gains and losses in life, so why be too persistent. β
When the white-shirted young man turned back again, a gust of wind hit, and he disappeared without a trace as if he had lost something in the night.
Two hours later, in the imperial study of the palace of the Hanshan Kingdom
"General Wang's words are serious, has 'Night Rain You' really escaped from the 'Jin Palace'?"
On the dragon chair in the imperial study, a thin black man in a dragon robe said.
At this time, a very burly man standing below, dressed in a second-class military attachΓ©'s court uniform, and with a thick beard.
He stepped forward and replied: "The minister has confirmed that there is no falsehood, it should be Yu Zheng who released the night rain." β
This person in the dragon robe is the twenty-seventh emperor of 'Hanshan' 'Yu Ren', the second-grade military attache is the famous general ''Wang Jian' of Hanshan, and Yu Zheng is the king of Jin of Hanshan Kingdom.
Wang Jian became famous thirteen years ago when the five countries were fighting for hegemony, although the Hanshan country was a defeated country, but at that time, among the five countries, the loss of the Hanshan country was not heavy.
At that time, the marshal of the Hanshan State - Yu Hanshan (Hanshan Imperial Family) was killed by an arrow, Wang Jian temporarily took the position of marshal, and he commanded Ruoding to withdraw most of the army of Hanshan from Tianyu Pass.
Minimize the losses, and with this, he can also have a place among the famous generals.
After that, Wang Jian was stationed at the border pass for another seven years, successfully resisting the invasion of Nanqiang's 'heavenly horses'.
With the increasing turmoil in Hanshan's country, he was finally recruited back to the court and served as the important task of Gongwei Jingshi.
Because of Yu Ren's incompetence, greed for beauty, and great joy, the 'King of Jin' Yu Zheng faction is growing stronger and stronger.
With the current strength of the King of Jin, Yu Ren has no way to do it, Yu Ren is still afraid of Yu Zheng, most of the officials in the court are the henchmen of the King of Jin, only when the prime minister of the dynasty 'Yang You' and a few loyal ministers dare to confront Yu Zheng, if it weren't for these old ministers to support 'Yu Ren', maybe now the Hanshan Kingdom has already changed the emperor.
Yu is the seventeenth son of the former emperor, who has been extremely intelligent since he was a child, both civil and military, but because his mother was from a humble background, he was not valued by the first emperor.
Yu Ren is the son of the queen with a high status, and he was named the crown prince not long after he was born.
Although he was born stupid and did not learn a lot, because his mother Empress Xiao was a powerful figure, she was not supported by a strong family force, but also scheming and vicious.
Those princes who once competed with Yu Ren for the throne were poisoned by her one after another, some died unexpectedly, some were punished by false briwries, and some were assassinated.
In short, the prince who survived in the end, except for Yu Ren, there are only three people left, one is frail and sickly since childhood, one is a little crazy, and the other is not in love with power at all and only likes to travel the world.
Yu Zheng is the person who has been weak and sick since childhood, and the Hanshan miracle doctor 'Guan Jiu' once said when Yu Zheng was young, "The seventeenth prince was born with a disease, and he will never live to be twenty-five years old." β
Yu Zheng also vomited blood and fainted many times at large banquets, so Queen Xiao let him go.
Later, Empress Xiao couldn't wait for Yu Zheng to be twenty-five years old, and was violently killed overnight.
Now that I think about it, this is just Yu Zheng's play.
In fact, Yu Zheng had already colluded with Guan Jiu to show weakness by pretending to be sick, and it was precisely because of this that he saved his life.
A person can pretend to be sick for more than ten years without being discovered by others, and the hardships involved are not endurable by ordinary people, and Queen Xiao's violence also has many doubts, which is not known whether it is related to Yu Zheng.
In short, the 'King of Jin' Yu Zheng is a hidden person.
