Chapter 512: Father and Son
Wondering if his ears had heard it wrong, Gen Zhisheng's hand holding Kuaiko didn't know when it let go, and it fell on the table and made a sound that was not small. The name Uesugi was not unfamiliar to him, and it was not long ago that Tachibana Masamune had mentioned it to him in front of him.
If none of them were lying, then the ramen stall owner in front of him, who had a relationship with each other and didn't seem to be brilliant at first glance, was probably his father in physiology, whom he had never met.
The movement from Gen Zhisheng made Uesugi look at him more and more, and then slowly withdrew his gaze. The four people with different expressions, their surprise, confusion and questions were all expected by him.
Unlike Yuan Zhisheng, who had a great reaction, Yuan Zhinu was completely stunned. For him, the concept of father is only the one who has slowly faded in his memory, the adoptive father in the mountains who has a very bad wine and only beats and scolds him and his brother.
Later, when he heard the story of the nameless port from the mouth of the general, he probably understood that he was different from normal people, and that it was impossible for him to have a father. So all along, he thought that his family was only his brother and Sakurai Kotso.
"But ......," Uesugi said, still expressionless, looking at them faintly, "don't think that like this, I'll really admit that I have a son or something."
His dark golden eyes, like those of a pure-blooded dragon, obviously did not emit any coercion that made them feel uncomfortable, but they were like a burning black sun, and people could not raise the slightest desire to look at them.
"One of you who used to be the young patriarch of the Eight Snake Families will eventually lead the behemoth of the Eight Snake Families." He glanced at Yuan Zhisheng, and then at Yuan Zhinu, "A dragon king who used to be a member of the Meng ghost group will fight against his family to the end with out-of-control ghosts."
He lit a cigarette, silently exhaled a smoke ring and asked, "Have you ever wondered why this is the way it is?"
Yuan Zhisheng, who had been silent for a long time, looked up at him and said softly, "Because...... Power ......"
"yes, power. But rather, it's the blood of the Emperor." Uesugi nodded silently, "When you have a gun in your hand, you find a group of guys who still use cold weapons, and they have wealth far beyond yours. The imperial blood is the gun, what will happen at this time, I don't need to say more, right?"
The source girl who did not speak nodded silently, and the inequality of power could easily become a source of strife.
"Maybe you don't know how arrogant the eight families of Snake Qi were in the past." Uesugi said silently, "There are the eight families of Snakes, the Soviet Union, China, and even the United Kingdom, which is half the world across the ocean, and Japan at that time dared to provoke one or two. And all this is entirely because they have an emperor, and they have the strongest half-breed as a support."
As he spoke, Uesugi fell into a long silence as if he remembered something very bad. During this time, no one bothered him.
I don't know how long it took, but when the soot burned to his fingers, Uesugi gently extinguished the cigarette as if he had reacted, and said in a hoarse voice, "You know the end of such a stupid Japan. The word "America's unsinkable warship" is ironic enough, but it's also true enough."
Then, suddenly, he asked, "Do you know why Japan has become so poor during this time?"
Yuan Zhisheng shook his head silently, and Yuan Zhisheng was still silent.
"It's very simple." Uesugi chuckled, his laughter full of mockery, "It's because I, as their pillar, have stopped doing it."
"I, who should have been the last face of Japan, should have shouted for righteousness, and I should have died with the American fleet and the people who came to take over the secret party...... It's a pity that the man who came was a bastard named Ange, and I couldn't beat him, and he taught him a lesson." He said slowly, as if he was telling a joke, but he didn't mean to laugh at all.
"He who beat me half to death showed me a document, which was a testimony of the atrocities of the Japanese army overseas, and I didn't believe it at first, until I ...... I saw a list of churches on there." Uesugi said, as if he was dead, and the gold in his eyes darkened to the extreme.
The room was terriblely quiet, and it was terrible cold, and Sakura, who had never spoken, and Sakurai Twilight couldn't help but tighten their clothes. Only the straight Minamoto and Genjinu can feel it, and what is hidden under this deathly silence is the fury that may destroy the whole of Japan.
「…… I was not born nobler than you." Uesugi suddenly changed the subject, but his voice was still hoarse, "My father, the eldest patriarch of the last generation of the Snake Qi Eight Family, he is not the emperor, but he is the Uesugi family, and he is also the last blood descendant of the upper three families who have the hope of giving birth to an emperor."
He continued: "But there is really nothing to say about such a man who dies in the belly of a woman, and his behavior, which I can see a little, is probably to leave my family and elope with my mother to France before I succeed to the throne. The heir of the declining family eloped with a foreign woman, although it is very silly, but it is also a very romantic thing, right?"
「…… Yes." Yuan Zhisheng nodded silently, he wanted to run to the celestial beach before, wasn't it a similar behavior?
Uesugi glanced at him more and then continued, "But this romantic story didn't last long, and the ninjas of the Wind Demon family chased after them. After that, he was taken back to Japan, and my mother and I stayed in France."
"My mother was a nun, a nun who made a vow, and then I went to the Foundling Hall, and then to the Church school." The golden light in Uesugi Yue's eyes was not there, but full of softness.
Nun...... The silent Genji opened his mouth, as if he knew what was going to happen.
Uesugi lit another cigarette: "There's nothing to say after that, I grew up in France, and I have French roots, so I'm a Frenchman...... Until I destroyed three blocks and awakened the imperial blood, until the treasure ship of the Eight Snake Families sailed to the port and welcomed me to the east to ascend the throne. Overwhelmed by the strength, I didn't think much about it, so I left my mother, who refused to go with me, and stepped on a ship bound for Japan...... You will know what will happen after that."
"It was around this time that my genetic sample was sent to a human genomics research institute in Germany by the people of the Snake Eight family, and then I don't know where it went." He glanced at Yuan Zhisheng and Yuan Zhinu, as if to say insignificant.
Without waiting for any response, he exhaled a long puff of green smoke, and said in as calm a tone as possible: "At the end of 1937, when Jinling fell, according to the records of the overseas Chinese stationed in the West at that time, a grandmother in the French church blessed the local women and asked them to change into nun clothes and quietly go out of the city. However, the Japanese officers of the Miyamoto family, who were in the war as representatives of the family at the time, discovered that they were fakes, and the atrocities began......
"Because she was French, Mama escaped, but she committed suicide with a gun after witnessing the atrocities. Before committing suicide, she left behind a curse that God would punish sinners with thunder and fire. And after her death, her body was used by the officers of the Miyamoto family to test the knife, and it was cut off along with six other corpses......" The hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly, and Uesugi tried to appear as calm as possible.
He took a long breath and continued, "Her name is Charlotte Chen, a nun of mixed Chinese and French descent...... Before seeing those testimonies, I had always thought that she was still in France, under the protection of Germany of the Axis Allies. And that officer of the Miyamoto family, after the surrender of Japan, committed suicide. Because his status is so low, he doesn't even have the qualifications to see me. In this way, even the person who felt that he was punished lightly was punished by the ashes, and his ashes and tablets were actually enshrined on the top of the family shrine, enjoying the treatment of a so-called hero......
Yuan Zhisheng suddenly understood why the family god society that worshiped the ancestors and heroic souls of the past generations was burned, and the tablets that were enshrined were completely destroyed. For there are sinners, sinners in real content......
Uesugi fell into a long silence, and no one dared to speak to disturb him. After a long time, he got up and cleaned up the noodles that had become cold.
With his back to them, he said slowly, "Speaking to you about this, in addition to warning you about the evil blood that flows among the Eight Families of Snakes, I also want to tell you that the blood of the Emperor is a sinful existence. As long as there is no it, many conflicts can be avoided, and that war is also the Eight Families of Snakes and the Demons."
In a small sink
Washing the dishes, he continued, "Before I was born, my father wanted to pinch me to death in his stomach because his younger brother crawled out of his mother's belly at the seventh month with a snake tail and bit his mother to death."
Yuan Zhisheng, who stood up and wanted to help, was suddenly stunned, and subconsciously looked at the lost cherry blossom next to him with his spare eyes, and the source childish girl who got up on the other side and Sakurai Xiaoshu were speechless to each other.
"If it were me, I would do the same, but I'm not worried that the child will become a ghost, but I just don't want the imperial blood to remain in this world." Uesugi wiped his hands and said, "It's just a pity that I didn't have a chance to destroy your embryos. Of course, I didn't come to you this time to get rid of all the imperial blood in the world and kill you or anything."
He sat down at the table, looked at the two faces of Yuan Zhisheng and Yuan Zhinu, who were very similar to his youth, and was silent for a while, and then said, "I have not been able to stop the continuation of the imperial blood, nor have I been able to prevent you from growing up, I will not dictate to your present and future lives, nor will I interfere with your feelings, and I will not allow you to give birth to offspring or anything, who knows how many embryos are left of the people who made you. Thank you to him for turning my decades of perseverance into a joke."
"It's okay to continue to keep the surname of Gen, or to change it to the Uesugi family, you can do whatever you want. I can't fully admit that you are my offspring, but I also can't treat you like strangers." He poured himself a cup of tea, "I called you here, I just think you should have the right to know."
……
"Is he stupid? Is this what a father should say to his son?" The vice principal covered his face, looking like he didn't know the guy.
The vice principal, who is also a father, was saddened by Uesugi Etsu's indifference, and patted his chest and scolded, "Don't prepare past birthday gifts and cakes for your son, and don't give your children beautiful girls as companions." Although they all brought their own ones, but as a father, they didn't say anything at all, is there a father like him?"
Sitting silently in the corner, Ange supported his head with one hand on the armrest, said expressionlessly, "Don't impose your distorted parent-child relationship on other people's heads."
In order to see the lively ...... In order to prevent Uesugi from really killing his relatives in order to cut off the emperor's blood, with the acquiescence of Uesugi Yue, they quietly watched the picture of the reunion of father and son. The source family、It should be the Uesugi family that has been entangled for a long time The reunion is not as happy as imagined, or the father is kind and filial piety, brothers, friends and brothers, or something.。 But there is no coldness as imagined, and when they meet, they draw knives and cut each other...... Although this face is also quite cold.
But thanks to this, he understood where Uesugi Yue's almost disgust for the Snake Eight families came from. With his stubborn temper at that time, he didn't burn the entire Snake Qi Eight Family together, probably for the sake of the two followers, and the things on the bottom of the sea that need to be guarded against.
Ange sat up, silently opened the bottle of red wine prepared to celebrate the family reunion, and poured himself a full glass of wine.
He held his glass high: "The guilty have finally been punished, and those immortal souls are honored......
……
After drinking a cup of tea, Uesugi Yue, who had returned to the appearance of an ordinary old man, glanced at the motionless Genzhisheng and Genzhinu and said, "Why are you stunned, go back to where you came from, I can't live so many people here."
"You're half a family, if you want to cry or laugh or something, go back and do it, I can't stand this." He was like a stubborn parent with an eccentric temper like an ordinary person, and issued an eviction order.
"Good night then, Uesugi ...... Father." Gento, who had been listening to him quietly, pulled Sakurai and bowed to him, saying, "Thank you again for your hospitality."
Uesugi froze inexplicably, then turned his face sideways and said, "Don't call me father, I said I haven't fully accepted you yet."
"Even so, thank you for telling us the truth, at least letting us know where we came from." The young girl smiled like a neighbor's house...... No, it's like a sensible child in his own family.
Yuan Zhisheng, who knew it before him, but not much, glanced at him and didn't speak.
Uesugi looked at him and was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that he would be able to say such a thing under his not kind attitude.
Looking at the Yuan Zhinu, he lowered his eyes and said inexplicably, "...... I was, and did, think about what my future children would look like. But it's not two boys with knives and black clothes mixed with the underworld, but girls who were beautiful when they were young and beautiful when they grow up. I think she would be a lot like her grandmother if she existed."
Looking at Uesugi Yue, who looked a lot more peaceful with a smile on the corner of his mouth, Gen Zhisheng raised his hand gently: "Yes...... I have a younger sister and ......."
