Chapter 15: Father and Son Recognize Each Other
After cultivating for a long time, he finally regained his previous spirit. As soon as he walked out of the room, he saw that Li Kunlun had already made breakfast and was waiting for him. So he walked over with a smile in the wind, picked up a steamed bun, took a bite, and said: "Thank you master for taking care of the apprentice these days, the apprentice has nothing to repay, I can only take advantage of the wind and the dark moon tonight, I will go out and grab a master to come back, to show the gratitude of the apprentice!"
Seeing the wind with a serious face, Li Kunlun said lukewarmly: "If some people miss the days when they were in bed, I don't mind helping them, it is estimated that it should not be a problem to lie down for a month."
"Master, just kidding, don't take it too seriously? Come, master, eat vegetables. Chengfeng said while diligently sandwiching the dishes for Li Kunlun.
"Don't be poor, let's get down to business now. Your injuries have basically recovered, so recently, you should find a time to go to the Jin Palace, anyway, you have to go sooner or later! ”
Chengfeng thought for a while and said, "Then tonight, anyway, this matter can't be delayed forever." I can't shirk it. ”
"Okay, then tonight, I won't accompany you, after all, it's the first time your father and son have met, and I'm an outsider, so it's not good, so let's give you a chance to be alone!"
"Hmm"
After that, the two of them didn't say much and continued to eat.
The setting sun also heralds the beginning of nightlife in Qingzhou City. In the brightly lit city, people chattered and chatted; All kinds of hawkers are hawking; The dusty woman in the green building greeted the merchants with flowers and branches; Occasionally, quarrels and fights can be heard······
But none of these had anything to do with Chengfeng, because he was still thinking about what to say and how to say when he arrived at the Jin Palace.
In his thoughts, Chengfeng had already come to the vicinity of the Jin Wangfu, hesitated, he still breathed a sigh of relief, and then found an uninhabited alley, and with a light force, he flew to the roof, and then flew in the direction of the Jin Wangfu.
Maybe because I came last time, so Chengfeng this time, I came to the place where I was almost caught last time, out of caution, Chengfeng still observed for a while, and then gently fell to the ground.
Compared with the buzz of people outside the mansion, tonight's Jin Wangfu is a little deserted. And after the wind came down, he could only stand stupidly, because he didn't know where King Jin was and where he should go to find him.
Just when the wind was around, a door not far away suddenly opened, and from inside, a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes came out, looked at himself with a smile, and said, "It's here."
Hearing the other party ask himself, Chengfeng didn't know what to say, just nodded, and then the two looked at each other like this, looking at each other wordlessly.
King Jin may also have felt the embarrassment between the two, so it was King Jin who spoke, interrupting the embarrassment between the two.
"Don't you know what to say, and you feel a little embarrassed and overwhelmed? It's also me, I've thought about the scene of our father and son meeting countless times, and I've rehearsed it countless times in my heart, but when I see you today, my mind is still blank, and I can only hide the panic in my heart with a smile. King Jin said as he walked to the pavilion, and then made tea himself, beckoning Chengfeng to sit down.
In fact, Chengfeng's heart is also very happy, because over the years, he has always thought that he is an orphan who was picked up and adopted by his master, so Chengfeng will be nervous and overwhelmed the moment he sees King Jin.
Seeing that Chengfeng still didn't speak, King Jin continued to ask: "How is the injury last time, it's almost good, fortunately, the soldiers of the broken army are merciful, otherwise although there is that old ghost to protect you, you will not recover so easily."
"It's not a big deal, it's just a faint ache occasionally, but after a long time, I'll be fine, you don't have to worry too much."
"Don't worry, it's impossible, after I knew your true identity last time, I was also worried for a long time, until the arrival of the old ghost, I didn't relax a little."
Chengfeng didn't answer, just looked at King Jin hesitantly.
Seeing that he was about to speak and stopped, King Jin guessed what he was going to ask, so he asked very simply, "You want to ask about your mother, right?"
Chengfeng didn't answer, just nodded.
King Jin looked at Chengfeng, then stood up, "You go with me first to give your mother a stick of incense, after so many years, she should also miss you very much, and want to see you very much." As he spoke, he pulled the wind and walked to the next room.
Walking to the door, King Jin cautiously pushed open the door, as if he was afraid of waking up the people in the house.
When I entered the house, I saw a spiritual position with a spiritual plaque on it, which read: The spiritual position of the deceased wife Xiao Shi.
Looking at the stunned Chengfeng, King Jin patted his shoulder and said, "Don't be in a daze, put incense on your mother."
Chengfeng did not hesitate, knelt down three times in front of the spiritual seat, and then took the incense in the hands of King Jin, and bowed again, before inserting the incense on the incense burner.
Looking at the spiritual position of his deceased wife, and then at his long-lost son next to him, King Jin didn't know whether he was more happy or sad. was supposed to be a happy family, but because of himself, his wife died young and his son was separated for many years.
Looking at King Jin, who was a little stunned, Chengfeng didn't know what to say, so he could only cough lightly.
Hearing Chengfeng's cough, King Jin smiled reluctantly, and then pulled Chengfeng, sat on the pu fan in front of the spiritual seat, and told the story of him and Chengfeng's mother: The young King of Jin, eclectic, bold and arrogant by nature, always in the palace, caused a lot of trouble, but because of his father's favor, so he always got along. But it has always been like this, so the father at that time found a family business for him, thinking that after starting a family, he would be restrained. Although it was all the order of his parents and the words of the matchmaker at that time, King Jin had long been disgusted with the red tape and rules and regulations at that time, so he resolutely disagreed. Who knew that your mother resolutely disagreed with the marriage of her fingers, and even let it out, saying that even if she married a cat or a dog, she would not marry me. So he secretly ran away many times, but each time he was caught. Although I don't agree with it either, but you let out such words, how much did it irritate me, how can I say that no matter how bad I am, I am also a prince, because of what she said, how many times have I been laughed at. So in order to get angry, I simply came to your mother's house to propose marriage, I just want to see what kind of strange woman your mother is, and will let my father personally write a marriage contract.
It may really be a long-term relationship, and after getting along many times, your mother and I also have feelings. But when I really wanted to talk about marriage, because the war ahead was tight, my father asked me to personally lead the troops to Qingzhou City to fight on the battlefield. I didn't want to go, I didn't want to leave your mother alone, but your mother also wanted me to go, because he also hoped that the person she liked would be a great hero who was admired by all people. I couldn't stand your mother's urging, so I went to the battlefield, and after several defeats, I went on a rampage, defeated the enemy, and regained the lost territory.
In the same year, your mother also gave birth to you, because your mother was unmarried and pregnant, so I always wanted to give your mother a name, but one wave was just flattened, and one wave rose again. I don't know why in the north, some people rebelled and rebelled. So by a holy decree, I led my troops to the north. In fact, at that time, I had already decided that after quelling this war, I would find an opportunity to ask my father and emperor to resign, and take your mother and son to find a quiet place to enjoy the rest of my life. But people are not as good as heaven, someone took the opportunity to do something to me and your mother and son at the same time, your mother was forced to be helpless, and in a panic handed over to your master, in order to cover people's eyes, one person jumped off the cliff and committed suicide, to cover the evacuation of your master, so that others think that your mother and son jumped off the cliff together. And I, too, were caught plotting by others, and fell into the secret disease of not being able to have offspring for the rest of my life.
So I was naturally excluded as the heir to the throne, and I could only be a Jin king who was ridiculed.
Since then, I have lost any news of you, and though I have been searching in secret, I have not heard from you.
Chengfeng didn't say much, just clenched his fists and asked, "If I want to avenge my mother, will you stop me?"
King Jin glanced at Chengfeng, and only replied: "I will only keep you from dying!"
Hearing King Jin's answer, Chengfeng's heart warmed, he thought that King Jin would say some high-sounding words to stop him, but King Jin didn't, just replied, simple and domineering.
"Don't worry, before I don't have absolute strength, I won't do it easily, because I promised my master that I have to give him a pension and send him to the end, of course, now I also include you."
Hearing Chengfeng mention his master, King Jin said with some concern: "Chengfeng, look at your master more in the future."
Who knew that Chengfeng smiled and said: "Don't worry, my master is not old enough to need me to look at it, that stinky old man is tougher than me!"
King Jin guessed that Chengfeng didn't expect it, so he explained: "I asked you to watch him, not to take care of him more, but to look at him, don't let him do stupid things!"
When Chengfeng heard this, he looked at King Jin with a questioning expression.
King Jin also continued: "I'm afraid that your master will go to avenge your mother first. Although his kung fu is good, and he has also been famous in the rivers and lakes, but the palace is a palace after all, not only are there many guards, but some masters are enough for your master to drink a pot, not to mention some old monsters. Therefore, if your master goes, there will be absolutely no life. Although I may have a chance to protect him, this opportunity is reserved for you, and even if I give it to him, he will never want it. So if you don't want him dead, watch him. Actually, I didn't want to recognize you this time, firstly, for fear of causing you any danger, and secondly, because if our father and son did not recognize each other, at least he would always stay by your side to protect your safety. Who knew that he said it first, so this is a bit suspicious of Tuogu. ”
Hearing King Jin's words, Chengfeng was also a little scared, he was really afraid that the master would do what King Jin said, he didn't want to now, because he hadn't repaid the master's nurturing grace.
Looking at Chengfeng's worried look, King Jin continued: "Actually, your master is also a hard-working person. He was born in a family of eunuchs, but because his father was too upright and upright, he was victimized by traitors and beheaded all over the house. It was your grandfather who finally found a relationship, saved your master, treated him as an adopted son, and followed your grandfather's surname Li. Because your master has long remembered, your grandfather is afraid that others will know about it, so he has never let your master see outsiders, and even the servants in the family rarely see your master. Therefore, your master has only been with your mother since childhood, so the affection between them is very heavy, although they are not brother and sister, but they are better than brother and sister. Later, your grandfather was also implicated in this incident, although he did not connect with the nine clans, but he was imprisoned and died of depression in prison. Therefore, your master, will definitely go to the death resolutely and generously in exchange for that slightest opportunity to take revenge when you have my protection in the future, even if you know that there is no life. ”
Hearing King Jin's words, Chengfeng knew the seriousness of this matter, but he was very at a loss and didn't know what to do.
But King Jin is the same, he doesn't know what to do. Because he knew the stubborn temper of that old ghost, what he wanted to do, no one could stop him except Chengfeng's mother, so he just pinned his hopes on Chengfeng and asked him to organize Li Kunlun to do stupid things, at least Chengfeng to do it, there was still a glimmer of hope.
"You, when you go back, tell your master clearly, don't beat around the bush. If he doesn't agree, tell him that if you dare to do what I say, then you will follow in his footsteps and avenge your mother, although I can protect you, but only once. So he will think about it, because I can't reveal your identity to the public now, so I can only secretly send someone to protect you, and with him, there will be more guarantees. I'm sure he'll think about it. After all, you're the only person in the world he cares about. ”
Hearing King Jin's strategy, Chengfeng also relaxed a little, because at least for a short time, his master was still safe.
"Do you drink?" King Jin asked.
"No, the master won't let you drink it, he said that wine is not a good thing, although it relieves a thousand sorrows, it can also add to sorrows."
"Hey, this old ghost, it's a serious thing." King Jin smiled, and then said: "Then you can replace the wine with tea, accompany me, the old father, and have a few drinks!"
As he spoke, he pulled the wind and walked to the gazebo outside the house.
The night is deeper, but some people hope that the deeper the night, the better, and the morning sun rises slowly.
