The environment inside the cave is extremely gloomy, surrounded by steep rock walls, in the center of the cave with licorice paved ground, a man wearing armor, covered with scaly wounds, slowly opened his eyes, saw this dark environment, he had a lot of thoughts in his mind, sighed slightly, and closed his eyes again.

Isn't he supposed to be dead?

Why are you still alive now?

So where is this again?

There are a lot of questions in my mind, and I can't reach the answer after thinking about it for a long time, and I only feel a dull pain in my head, so I don't think about this thing anymore.

The feeling from his body was very tired, and he didn't know how long it had passed, and he felt that his body seemed to have recovered somewhat, so he slowly sat up, and it was at this time that there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the cave. Listening to the footsteps outside, the man was instantly alert, but what he saw was a very familiar face, and there was a little surprise in his eyes, because in his impression, this person should not appear here, but he thought that he could come back from the dead, and only he could do it in the whole world, so he dispelled the doubts in his heart.

Coming in was an old man with a white beard, he was wearing a gray robe, his face was ruddy, and he looked like a bit of a fairy wind and bones, and when he saw the man wake up, he smiled and said: "Yes, yes, it's much faster than I imagined, it should be the true dragon qi in your body that is sheltering you, well--so it can be said that it has passed." ”

The figures of the old man and the person in his impression gradually coincided, and the man sighed slightly: "Lord Guardian didn't expect that you would save me this time." ”

The old man took out a roasted hare from behind him, tore off some slices of meat on it and put it in his mouth, and smashed his mouth while eating: "Count your kid's life, it's really not easy to save your kid, if it weren't for the early departure of Beimang's army, leaving only a few soldiers to escort your body, otherwise how can I save you, but if you can survive, it can be regarded as the will of God, although it is a waste of some of the old man's effort." ”

"Remains?" The man very keenly captured the words in the old man's words, and there was a little doubt in his eyes.

When the old man saw his expression, he couldn't help but smile: "Otherwise, what do you think, you must know that there are more than a dozen wounds on your body, those knives, guns, swords and halberds have already injured your internal organs, even if the old man has great ability, it is impossible to really resurrect a dead person, all he has done now is to rely on some friendship with this heavenly way, pulled you back from the ghost gate, and borrowed a period of life." ”

Although the old man said it easily, the man knew that his resurrection must be against the way of heaven, and the old man was able to let himself survive, which must have cost a lot of money. Thinking of this, he stood up, bowed deeply to the old man, and said, "No matter what, I still have to thank Lord Guardian for this matter, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have died on the battlefield on the frontier in this way." ”

When the old man heard this, he smiled and said: "You have nothing to thank me for this matter, thank your father if you want to thank him, if it weren't for him, how could I keep your affairs in mind so much, I just hope that you will not live up to my hard work in the future, and treat the people of this Great Jin Dynasty well, in your last limited time." ”

The man nodded when he heard this, and then asked, "In that case, then dare to ask Lord Guardian, how much longevity do I have left now?" ”

"This matter is limited by the destiny of heaven, and I can't say clearly, old man, but you just need to know one thing, do good deeds, and it all depends on the destiny of heaven as to how long you can live."

The man sighed slightly, knowing that this matter was not something he could control, so he stopped dwelling on things and began to ask about other things.

"How long have I been in a coma?"

The old man paused a little while eating rabbit meat, and after thinking about it, he replied: "The old man can't remember the specific time, but if you think about it carefully, it should have been three or four months." ”

Three or four months?

Has it been all this long?

The man's brows furrowed slightly, he was thinking about what might happen after his death, if the news of his death in the frontier came back to Shenjing City, it would definitely be a shock to the government and the opposition, and the father should be screening other successors, and as for the army side, they went deep into Beimang, but now they heard the news of my death in the rear, plus Emperor Jing is now short of life, it must be a big blow to the military heart, and it is very likely to affect the current battle situation, after thinking for a long time, the man endured the severe pain in his body, He immediately prepared to leave the cave and go to the nearest city of the Great Jin, he knew that the top priority was to spread the news that he was still alive as soon as possible, so that he could eliminate the negative impression that this matter might produce as soon as possible.

Seeing the man, it seemed that he wanted to leave. The old man smiled slightly, and pointed unhurriedly at the man's leg, only to see an iron chain made of golden spirit yuan, which instantly fixed the man in place, and the man's eyes were puzzled. He looked at the old man as if seeking answers.

The old man indifferently put the rabbit meat aside, wiped his mouth, and then asked, "What do you want to do now?" Do you want to prove that your crown prince is still alive? ”

Hearing this, the man frowned, nodded noncommittally, and replied: "If I die, the situation in the Great Jin Dynasty will definitely change dramatically, and if I can't appear in front of the major forces as soon as possible, it's hard to imagine what will happen after this." ”

"If it's hard to imagine, don't imagine it." The old man smiled, and said in a very indifferent tone: "During the time you were in a coma, everything that should have happened has happened. ”

The man's expression became a little strange, and he only heard the old man continue: "After your death, before the army of the Great Jin Dynasty penetrated into Beimang suffered a crushing defeat, the towns that were attacked were taken back by Beimang in one fell swoop. Now the Great Jin army has returned to the territory and is waiting for the support of the imperial court, and as for Emperor Jing's side, His Majesty has died, and if you go out now, not only will it not calm the situation, but it will make the originally settled situation even more erosive, by the way, guess who inherits the throne? ”

The old man's words were full of ridicule, and at this moment, the man also calmed down, indeed he had enough time in the past few months of being in a coma, too many things had happened, and if he went out rashly, it was likely to backfire, so he walked patiently in front of the old man, with a bit of sincerity in his tone, he said: "Then dare to ask the guardian if you can tell me in detail what happened during this time, so that I can make the best judgment." ”

Seeing the man's earnest inquiry, the old man smiled slightly, and then told him about the recent period of time.

When he learned that it was not the children of other clans who ascended the throne, but his second brother Yingji, the man's expression was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that it would be Yingji who ascended the throne In his memory, Yingji made a lot of mistakes before, if the throne was handed over to him in this way, it was likely to attract many people to disagree, but if you think about it, it is not impossible, after all, Yingji's ability is still very outstanding

But who knew that the old man's last words made the man's brows furrow tightly.

"Do you think it's not bad for your second brother to ascend the throne, hehe." The old man smiled, as if he had read through the man's mind.

The man nodded and replied: "Although Yingji has made some mistakes before, his own ability is still very strong, according to this point of view, if he ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, if he wants to govern the Great Jin well, he will not necessarily do worse than me." ”

The smile on the old man's face became more and more intense when he heard this, and his voice was also full of ridicule, and he slowly said: "Yes, your second brother's ability is indeed not bad, and now in the people and in the imperial court, it is rumored that he was planning to usurp the throne to ascend the throne, how can he do it if his ability is average." ”

Hearing the old man's words, the man's gaze froze.

Plotting to usurp the throne?

Didn't his father pass the throne to him?

Is there any conspiracy hidden in this?

In an instant, the man thought of countless possibilities, and his brows couldn't help frowning tightly, he looked at the old man and asked, "Lord Guardian doesn't know what you said, can there be definite evidence." ”

The old man smiled and replied, "What I think in my heart, what I think in my heart, how can I ever pay attention to any evidence?" Whether you believe this or not depends on yourself, not to mention one thing you have to be clear, can your second brother really be a virtuous monarch as you think in your heart, and govern the world of the Great Jin Dynasty well? I hope you can figure this out and decide what you're going to do next. ”

After hearing the old man's words, the man fell into a brief silence, he was in no hurry to leave the cave, before he wanted to organize his thoughts. If the second brother is really seeking power and usurping the throne, if the death of his father is not the end of his life, then the significance behind this is very significant, and he will never tolerate a person who kills his father and kills the monarch to be at the top of power.

The old man saw that Yingji fell into deep thought, and then continued to speak: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, in fact, you might as well think about it again, the fact that you died in battle on the frontier may not have the means of your second brother. ”

As soon as these words came out, Yingji's gaze became deeper and deeper.
