Chapter Eighty-Six: A Promise of Destiny

In the Jinling Palace, the old dragon king's study, the boy in black has left first in tears, and the rest are the two who have joined hands together for most of their lives, and they are also masters and servants and confidants.

The old dragon king gently tapped the tea table with his fingers rhythmically, and Yan Bo changed the water there to make tea.

When the tea is full of fragrance, pour yourself a full cup first, pinch the small cup of tea with your thumb and index finger and shake it gently, blow the hot air again, and take a sip slightly. Yan Bo squinted and nodded with satisfaction, put down the small cup, and then poured a full cup of tea for the old dragon king.

He respectfully handed the tea to the old dragon king, and when he saw that the old dragon king's thoughts were not here, he put the small cup less than half a foot away from the old dragon king's right hand.

The old dragon king was thoughtful, raised the teacup and drank it all, as if the tea soup was not hot.

He exhaled slowly, slumped into his chair, and rested his right hand on the armrest, tapping on the armrest rhythmically as before.

While tasting tea, Yan Bo seemed to ask intentionally or unintentionally: "Lord Wang, but I am worried about the Mo family, my son-in-law." ”

The old dragon king nodded, and finally opened his mouth, and said: "Although Guangji looks like a child, after all, he is just like me and one foot into the coffin, and it is really reluctant to let him carry this great responsibility." In the past, he was the only one left with the four major iron guards on the side of the third brother, and he was afraid that he would be no longer vigorous. ”

"Lord Wang, that may be the ······ of the old slave"

Without waiting for Uncle Yan to finish speaking, the old dragon king shook his head and listened to him explain: "You will live longer than me after all, Yinuo, this child is still immature, he still needs your assistance." ”

Yan Bo wanted to sigh, but finally opened his mouth, but without moving, he put the small cup to his lips and was about to take a sip, but he forgot that the tea soup had already been drunk. Yan Bo didn't pour himself any more, and played with the small cup of tea in his hand, which was also worth a hundred taels of silver, and his brows couldn't help frowning into Sichuan characters.

He suddenly and unconsciously recalled the days when he was young and followed the third prince to fight, but unfortunately the third prince left Lincheng with regrets. And he will eventually die in Lincheng, will he have regrets when he returns to the land?

Yan Bo kept opening and clenching his left hand, although he was old, he still had some strength.

Although he still has some strength, can he really wield that big knife?

Although the old dragon king didn't face Yan Bo squarely, how could Yu Guang not see such movements, and how could he not see what Yan Bo was thinking in his heart. A family of four heroes, but took the name of firewood, rice, oil and salt.

The old dragon king didn't think about whether he should let Yan Bo be a veteran who aspires thousands of miles. But how could he not know the condition of Yan Bo, just like himself, he used to love horses so much, and now, he did not even dare to wear riding boots again.

Is the twilight of a real hero, and the years are ruthless?

"Little Yanzi, you say, what's the point of Zhong Xihou doing this?"

"I'm afraid it's the body of His Royal Highness, alas. Zhong Xihou is afraid that he wants you to push Yinuo up as soon as possible, which can be regarded as well-intentioned. If Yinuo is really on top of the throne, in the end, he Zhongxihou will get a lot less benefits. ”

The old dragon king sighed and continued: "Or maybe I'm old, I asked people to go to his sleepless city so many times in the past few years, and this black charcoal didn't squeak. This time he came to Lincheng in person, and I always felt faintly uneasy in my heart. ”

"Lord, don't make fun of me. Yan Bo grinned, and then continued, "What Dugu Shaohua thought of, Zhong Nanyan didn't make it, Zhong Xihou wanted to do it." Come to think of it, if the three princes can really return with the wind and clouds, Dugu Shaohua has such a wish, and the three princes will take charge of the world in the future, and I am afraid that they will not refuse. ”

The old dragon king had been paying attention to this salt uncle's left hand, and his left hand was still clenched, and he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart. Old man, can't you just wait for old age to die like this?

"These are naturally known, I have had nightmares in recent days, Zhong Xihou is standing in front of my bed with a sword and fierce eyes. In the future, if Zhongxi Hou really knows how his stepfather died, do you think he will really kill him with a sword?"

Yan Bo also frowned, and sank for a few moments before he spoke: "Since it was my hand back then, if Zhongxi Hou really knew, it would be a big deal to take one life for another." ”

The old dragon king laughed and said, "You, you, you should have died on the battlefield in the early years, and you are still restless when you are old." You still haven't let go of your fist, what the hell, do you want to compare with me again? My body can't withstand your two punches. ”

Yan Bo finally let go of his left hand and smiled a little awkwardly.

"Alright, little salt, you can go out too, and let me be alone for a while. ”

When Yan Bo heard the old dragon king say this, he didn't say anything more, got up, saluted respectfully, took a few steps back, turned around and went out the door.

The old dragon king sank his body deeper, and he couldn't help humming the opera.

"Mountain people, Zhuge Liang. I heard that Zhang He was attacking Jiameng Pass, and he must send a capable general to meet the enemy. Come, listen to the order······" Humming and humming, the legendary old dragon king who has been like a legend all his life can't help but shed tears.

If you are really old, you can't protect your calves under the feathers.

The door was knocked softly, at orderly intervals, and the old dragon king wiped away his tears and coughed softly, and the door was pushed open. There were two people standing outside the door, and the tall man behind him was not Han at first glance, his naked upper body was wrapped in an iron chain thick as his thighs, and dozens of tattoos were tattooed in the east and west, all of which were the marks of criminal offenders.

The tall boy in front of him wore a dark robe and embroidered a sleeping python with silver wire, this son was naturally handsome and impeccable, but unfortunately, he looked sick.

As soon as the old dragon king looked at the person, he slowly sat up straight and smiled.

"I'm back. ”

Zhu Jiannan took a few steps forward, held the folding fan in his hand and made a gesture to the old dragon king, and blamed himself: "Sun Er is incompetent, after all, he let the thief escape." ”

"You're not a martial artist after all, and you don't know how flexible the fish in this lake are. Sit, oh, come, you sit too. ”

The old dragon king motioned to Zhu Jiannan to sit down with Lei Niu, this time Lei Niu did not refuse, Zhu Jiannan sat on the right hand side of the old dragon king, and he sat on the left hand side of the old dragon king.

The old dragon king personally poured tea for the two, handed the cup to the two, and finally filled a cup for himself. He didn't rush to drink tea, and he also played with a small cup of tea with a lot of money like Yan Bo before, and said with emotion: "This old white tea is more fragrant the more it is boiled, and the old white tea that has been aged for many years is even more valuable." ”

Zhu Jiannan opened his mouth and closed it again, as if he wanted to speak but did not dare to speak. The old dragon king smiled and motioned to Zhu Jiannan but said it was okay.

Zhu Jiannan drank all the tea, filled another cup, the same cow drink, and then saw him take a few deep breaths, and finally seemed to have made a very important decision. I saw Zhu Jiannan stand up and kneel on the ground, Lei Niu was about to get up to help him when he saw this, but saw Zhu Jiannan stretching out his hand to signal him not to mix.

Zhu Jiannan knelt on the ground, clenched his hands into fists, lowered his head slightly, and said, "Grandfather, have you ever thought that you would give up the Mo family and surrender."

The Sword Sect of the World. ”

As soon as these words came out, the old dragon king did not react, but Lei Niu stood up from his seat. He got up too hard, and his calves knocked the chair out of the way.

The old dragon king glared at him, and the Xindu giant who dared to stop the Western Land City Lord and the Venerable of the Dusk Hanlou by himself actually shuddered, and did not dare to make any more moves.

Zhu Jiannan continued: "The two families of Zhu Mo have been married for generations, and it is true. However, if in order to protect the Mo family, shake the foundation of my Zhu family in Lincheng, or even fold the status in Daye, or it will really be like an ancient tree, and it will be difficult to regenerate roots. ”

"Then, what about the Sword Sect of the World?"

"After a few fights, my Zhu family's Yi Shui Han is not as good as Yan Yunqi, and even inferior to Na Ximan, I can't help but admit it······"

The old dragon king suddenly became furious, slammed the small cup of tea in his hand on the ground, got up angrily, and said sharply: "Then do you want me to give up my daughter and son-in-law, give up your brother, and be a faint lord who is unkind and unrighteous and does not recognize his six relatives!"

Zhu Jiannan knelt a few steps towards the old dragon king, prostrate at his feet, but his upper body was already straight, looking up at his grandfather. His voice was upright, but he was not sick, and he continued: "Grandfather, for the sake of the Mo family, if you give up the Zhu family, your grandson can also do it." But for the sake of the Mo family, if the situation in Daye is tilted again, it is not only the case that is abandoned! Dongli can cross to the west to invade, if the northern cities also have the heart of the overlord Daye with Naxi, who will guard the suburbs of Northern Qi. Just like Hancheng, Sima Zhao's heart is already Sima Zhao's heart, and his grandfather ······"

The old dragon king turned around and saw that his upper body was constantly trembling, obviously really angry, even if he tried to adjust his breath, it was still difficult to smooth the breath in his heart. He has killed his brother, forced his third brother away, and even, his three children have died on the battlefield for themselves.

Zhu Jiannan was so thoughtful, he kowtowed violently, and the sound made Lei Niu's heart tremble, for fear that this kowtow would break the body of the son, who was originally like a candle in the wind. But he didn't dare to move.

"Jiannan, do you really think I'm old? Let me ask you, how has Ming'er treated you all these years?

Hearing this, cold sweat oozed from Zhu Yannan's sideburns. King Jinling is the King of Jinling after all, even if he is old, he is still the King of Jinling.

"I'm old, and I've thought that you should be left to figure out the affairs of your children and grandchildren. But why did you kill Ming'er once or twice, he is not surnamed Mo, but he is also your own brother!"

Speaking of this, the old dragon king's voice trembled, and he actually cried a little. And Zhu Jiannan's head hung lower, and he didn't know how to answer.

"Counselor, do you know that Zhongxihou wanted to break Yinuo's finger. ”

Zhu Jiannan raised his head suddenly, his eyes full of surprise. He really didn't understand, Zhong Xihou promised that he would train Zhu Yinuo's swordsmanship, and he would support him in the future, and he would go to Mo County to encircle and suppress the forces of the Sword Sect in the world.

"Don't you understand? Not everyone is like him Zhongxihou, who can be a great swordsman and the lord of a city. Xiao Yinuo is Xiao Yinuo after all, no matter how much he struggles on the way of the sword, he can't become Zhongxihou. ”

The old dragon king kept taking deep breaths and tried his best to calm down, and then he could only leisurely and said: "Grandfather is old, and in the future, he will not interfere with what you do, you can go!"

As soon as these words came out, the old dragon king's hands on his back waist couldn't help but clench his fists, and even the nails of the little fingers of both hands sank into the flesh of his palms too hard. He didn't say anything more, but waved his hand.

Lei Niu picked up Zhu Jiannan and left the house.

At the moment when the door closed, the old dragon king, who had never yielded in his life, knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly.

Lei Niu didn't understand what Zhu Jiannan was thinking, but Zhu Jiannan understood Lei Niu's thoughts, and the two of them didn't say a word, and they were speechless after all.

Just as Lei Niu didn't understand why the eldest prince was willing to give up his three life luck, and gambled on his hard-to-find superb immortal spirit root, he also wanted to go to the so-called immortal mansion. All the eldest prince wants is a glimmer of hope that others can live.

He also won't understand why a son who may fall down at any time and get back up can cruelly bet on his aunt, siblings, and even a family of friends to gamble on a threat that has nothing to do with him.

After all, it was Zhu Jiannan who opened his mouth first, just like the master and servant for many years, he asked, but he didn't answer.

He asked, "Lei Niu, you say, why is my brother willing to go to the Immortal Land Forbidden Mansion?"

He didn't answer.

He asked again: "Can the life of the ant be equivalent to the life of the prince?"

He still didn't answer.

He continued to ask: "One person dies for ten thousand lives, and ten thousand people are buried together, can it be equivalent?"

He was silent when he wanted to answer, but his heart was relieved, and likewise he fell into distress.

Lei Niu suddenly understood the old dragon king's grief and unwillingness, and the life of the ant and the life of the prince were not because of the disparity in status. Ants can only control their own destiny, but princes can control the lives of tens of millions of people.

Lei Niu couldn't help but tighten the chain that was wrapped around his body, the chain that had been used to bind him in the dog ring, and now he wore it all the time.

How can we tell the difference between right and wrong? Just as the world thinks that Zhu Jianying's bastard is incomparable, he will not argue with others. Similarly, the world thinks that Zhu Ji is pitiful and jealous of talents, and he doesn't feel pity.

Let's talk about the Mo family Zhuangzi in Mo County, the young owner Mo Ming has recovered seventy-seven eighty-eight, but Yin Li still wraps him tightly, as if the wind in June is also full of cold, which makes people cry and laugh.

Mo Qu'er, who was like a maid and a sister, couldn't help but feel funny, and ran to Mo Ming after the young lady left, her hands were weightless, and she was a chestnut on Mo Ming's smooth head. The pain was so painful that Mo Ming couldn't help but gasp, and her teeth rattled a few times unconsciously.

Seeing Mo Ming's embarrassed appearance, Mo Qu'er smiled like a flower. She lifted the hem of her skirt and sat down on the steps with Mo Ming.

She asked, "Mo Ming, are you still worried about Yinuo's stupid boy?"

Mo Ming also reached out to give Mo Qu'er a chestnut, but Mo Qu'er had already taken precautions and was not successful.

Mo Ming nodded, and gently scratched Mo Qu'er's nose with her fingers, her tone was a little relaxed, but Mo Qu'er had been his little follower for more than ten years, how could he not hear the sorrow in it.

Mo Ming said: "Who let you be born in the emperor's family, and also, you Nizi, Mo Ming is long and short all day long, and you dare to scold our little prince in Lincheng, you are a big crime to kill your head." ”

"Do you want to punish the Nine Clans?"

Mo Ming looked at Mo Qu'er with an expectant face, and naturally understood the bad water in her stomach.

Mo Qu'er is such an abandoned baby that no one wants, what can she do with the nine clans, and in the end, she is not to burn the fire to the Mo family.

Mo Qu'er propped her elbows on her knees

, dragging his face with his hands, he began to feel sad, and listened to her: "Actually, I think it's good to be stupid and stupid, why do you have to force him." ”

Mo Ming smiled and touched Mo Qu'er's head, and couldn't help pinching the two cat-ear-like iconic buns, and said softly: "If you don't force him, if he comes to the Mo family, what should I do?"

Mo Qu'er turned her head and her eyes widened, she meant to ask, and she believed that Mo Ming knew what she was asking. Mo Ming's smile was still warm, but the answer in his eyes was something Mo Qu'er didn't want to see.

Mo Qu'er continued to drag her chin with her hand, sighed again, and said, "Alas, it's a pity that I don't know martial arts, and I can't help you, Brother Mo Ming." ”

"Silly girl, how many years of joy you have brought to your mother, how many years have you helped me. ”

When Mo Qu'er heard this, she immediately turned her head again and changed her smiling face.

Her white and tender little face still had some ungrown baby fat, her eyes narrowed into crescents, and she grinned innocently with white teeth. Mo Ming's heart seemed to be purified in an instant, forgetting the pressure and helplessness she was about to face, and she laughed out loud.

"What's the matter, you two keep giggling. ”

Yin Li's voice came from behind him, and the two of them turned back together, seeing that the young lady had brought a pot of wine and some food for the first time. Mo Qu'er jumped up to replace Yin Li, Yin Li avoided Mo Qu'er in a small step, pretended to be stern, and said: "You little wild cat, this fruit wine is not sea fish-flavored, what are you anxious about." ”

Then she also handed the plate to Mo Qu'er, she sat down in Mo Qu'er's original position, her right hand was placed horizontally on the knee of her legs, her left elbow was against the back of her right hand, and she was holding her left face and looking at Mo Ming with her head sideways. When no one is around, Yin Li is always like a girl in her prime, looking at her lover, she never gets tired of looking at her.

Mo Ming slowly took her into her arms, kissed her forehead gently, looked at the cloudy sky, and suddenly said something, which made Yin Li think that she had heard it wrong, making Mo Qu'er almost knock over the plate.

"Lady, it's better to wait for the turmoil to pass, and I'll take you to the same song and go to the rivers and lakes to wander around, okay?"

Mo Qu'er, who had read too many villain books, was stunned, and often laughed and said that he had imagined that his husband was a heroic Yin Li who fought the sword world, and he was also gone.

Mo Ming looked at the two of them and couldn't help laughing, and he added, "I'm serious." ”

Let's talk about another person, the little overlord of Jinling who is worried by people from several forces, Zhu Yinuo.

Zhu Yinuo was really under house arrest in his own residence this time, he couldn't get out, and he didn't let a beautiful girl into the house, so he was really bored.

Just look at him sitting in a chair, playing with the small cup of tea in his hand. I rummaged through the closet to see if there were any new boots that I hadn't worn. If you want to jump, it's really a fool's dream, after all, the injuries on your body can't be faked.

I was bored, and when I heard the sound of metal outside the house, someone was picking the lock. He immediately kicked off his boots like a monkey spirit and jumped onto the bed, lay down to cover the quilt and close his eyes, but it was only a moment.

The door opened, and he heard a few coughs like tuberculosis, and knew that it was the little brother who came.

The door was slowly closed, the greased door did not creak, and the person who closed the door was very careful.

I heard Zhu Jiannan say: "Okay, okay, don't pretend, get up." ”

Zhu Yinuo had no choice but to get up, walked barefoot to Zhu Jiannan, and sat down.

"Little brother, where have you been all these days?"

"Went to kill. ”

When Zhu Yinuo heard it, what, went to kill someone?

Zhu Yinuo showed a ruffian in an instant, got up and stepped on the stool with one foot, propped his hands on the table, and asked, "What about the people?" Have you caught it, is it a Jiangyang thief or a flower thief?"

Zhu Yanan glanced at Zhu Yinuo, this stupid Yinuo also knew that it was indecent, and sat down obediently, his face full of expectation.

Zhu Yanan poured himself a glass of water and shook his head.

Zhu Yinuo was like a sheepskin that had been unloaded in an instant, walked back to the bed, lay down, and shouted "It's boring, it's boring."

This made Zhu Jiannan cry and laugh, the brothers are all talented, did they take advantage of all their luck and talent to have such a stupid younger brother.

"Yinuo, are you interested in traveling to Ziwei City?"

Zhu Yinuo thought he had heard it wrong, and said "ah".

"Are you interested in traveling to Ziwei City?"

Zhu Yinuo jumped up from the bed again, sat upright beside Zhu Jiannan, and respectfully poured a glass of water for his little brother.

"You know, the three members of my grandfather's generation were all brave generals who dominated the White Armor Army of Ziwei City when they were young. Our uncle, father, and uncle have also earned a bit of status in Ziwei City, but unfortunately, our brother ······."

"Okay, little brother, in the future, you will be your king of Jinling, and I will be my Zhu Dashuai!" Zhu Yinuo got up as he spoke, stepped on the bench with one foot, and put his hands in a posture of holding a sword and looking at the country.

Zhu Yannan coughed lightly, and Zhu Yinuo immediately sat back on the bench, very cute. When Zhu Jiannan saw it, he couldn't help laughing.

"It's better to be like this, for my brother to have some friendship with Liang Boye of Ziwei City, you ······"

Without waiting for Zhu Jiannan to finish speaking, Zhu Yinuo jumped up again and shouted, "Little brother, do you still know each other, General Baiyu?"

Zhu Yannan couldn't help but hold his forehead with his right hand, only to feel pain in his temples. I only heard him spit out a sentence lightly: "His previous name was General Yulong." ”

"Wow, I'm really suitable for wandering the rivers and lakes, fighting swords with Xisha Outback, and chatting with undead ghosts, and now I'm going to fight with the white-faced jade dragon on the battlefield, and I've got all the three fierce in the world. ”

Seeing Zhu Yinuo so excited, Lei Niu, who was standing behind Zhu Jiannan, didn't know what to do. Ziwei City, although it is named after the emperor and the stars, can the world know the truth that one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither?

Zhu Jiannan didn't seem to be worried at all, and he asked again: "Yinuo, do you know what step General Han started from in the army?"

"Hussar general, no, no, no, it should be a vanguard general······"

Zhu Yinuo shouted out a gesture, and changed seven or eight in a row, but he always felt that it was wrong.

Zhu Jiannan didn't wait for Zhu Yinuo to continue, and said the answer: "Infantry Pioneer Battalion!"

Zhu Yinuo frowned slightly, and quickly stretched, too, the real big people will start from the little people.

Zhu Yinuo rubbed to Zhu Jiannan's side and asked, "Little brother, why do you and Mo Ming want me to go to Ziwei City?"

Zhu Yinuo was just curious, but when he heard these words, it was like a thunderbolt in the ears of Zhu Jiannan.

"Brother Ming, let you go to Ziwei City?"
