Chapter 33: Eternal Night in the Border City
"Eat slowly, and!" Ji Wanzhu sat quietly in front of the desk, looking at Liu Chen, who was gobbling up next, with a distressed face, and when he finished his debriefing, he was taken to the main account of the Yuezhou Army.
"I originally wanted to die on a hunger strike, but I didn't expect them to come down like this?" Liu Chen was a little distracted, chewing the food fiercely in his mouth, and his tone was a little stalky.
"Yes, it's gone!" Ji Wanzhu sighed lightly, stood up and walked to Liu Chen's side and slowly sat down and said: "Don't be afraid, my mother won't let you die, if they don't surrender at that time, my Yuezhou million army will definitely destroy their race to comfort the shame of my son!"
"Are you really my mother?" Liu Chen didn't raise his head, and said in a more lonely tone: "My mother is dead, and she has been dead for many years, so why should the Grand Duke lie to me?"
"Your mother-in-law did die by hanging, my father-in-law is your mother-in-law, and my mother-in-law is closer than my mother!" Ji Wanzhu raised her hand to wipe away the tears on Liu Chen's face, gently buried Liu Chen's head in her arms, patted his back and comforted: "Over the years, it was my mother who was not good and made you suffer, your father went early, and my mother can't lose you anymore!"
"But I, after all, it's not Liu Yi!" Liu Chen leaned on Ji Wanzhu's arms in despair, and muttered to himself: "When I was in Fancheng, the storyteller said that Liu Yi died in the Canglan River, and it is estimated that he had already fed the big fish, but the Qiushui Sword, why is it in my hands, I have forgotten everything, I have forgotten where I came from, where I am going, and even the appearance of my parents. ”
"Regardless of Liu Yi or Liu Chen, my son must remember that your grandfather is Liu Bai, the sword saint Liu Bai, your grandmother is the Holy Maiden of Bliss, the last generation of the Holy Lord of Yuezhou, your father is Liu Qing, Xuanwei General Liu Qing, your biological mother is Gongsun Ying, is Emperor Yuanfu, I am your mother-in-law, the king of hundreds of millions of people in Yuezhou, you were born nobler than everyone else, you are the king of Canglan County, you are the king of Canglan County of Tianji Pavilion, you have to remember that in the history of the human race, there are only four Canglan county kings, the first is the martial god Lu Xiu, the ancestor of the opening faction of the Martial God Peak, the second is the sword god Liu Zangbing, is your direct second ancestor, and the third is the sword saint Liu Bai, is your grandfather, and you are the fourth, the fourth destined to be no worse than them!"
"Huh. Liu Chen smiled slightly, with those dreams and confusion, and slept quietly in Ji Wanzhu's arms.
When Liu Chen woke up again, it was already three days later, and when he came out of his tent, it was already night, and the cold in the northwest was still unacceptable, Liu Chen gently wrapped the leather jacket on his body, and slowly paced to the campfire in front of the camp.
"Oh!" Ji Huan stood there quietly, waiting for Liu Chen to come to him, and without waiting for Liu Chen to speak, he handed over a letter: "Before the great monk leaves, ask me to pass it on to you, the recommendation letter of the academy, the handwriting of the Duke of Jin!"
Liu Chen was slightly stunned, raised his hand to take the envelope, suppressed the excitement in his heart, he thanked Ji Huan with his hand, and then asked, "Is Young Master Huan also studying in the academy?"
Ji Huan shook his head, beckoned Liu Chen to sit down and said: "I hate bondage, I want to play for a few more years while I am young, besides, my age has also exceeded the academy's enrollment standards, under the age of twenty, under the refining of qi, I am not up to standard!"
"If you don't go to the academy to study, how can you inherit the title of Duke of Yueguo?"
"There are too many brothers and sisters in the family, I am used to being idle and wild cranes alone, I am too lazy to fight, even if I fight, what is the difference, it is not from one cage to another, life is short, when you have fun in time!"
"The little monk is going too?" Liu Chen was a little surprised, he knew that the ascetic did not enter the academy to study, for the children of the families in various states, if they want to win the throne of the princes, entering the academy for further study is a lot of links in Bick, for thousands of years, the Bauhinia Mountain Academy in Tianji Pavilion does not know how many holy lords and grand dukes have been cultivated, as well as the court in the center of imperial power, the protégés of the academy are also everywhere, the human race has not had a civil war for thousands of years, and the education of the academy can be said to be indispensable, no way, you have to fight, the emperor is your classmate, who are you fighting, go to the battlefield today, the elders of the three thousand sects are your classmates, the commander opposite you are classmates, and the princes next door are your classmates, even the imperial historian who impeached you every day is also your classmate, how can this civil war be fought.
"Could it be that the little monk wants to be a grand duke?"
"It's really right for you to say it!" Ji Huan smiled slightly, lowered his voice and approached Liu Chen: "In the past few days when you have been sleeping, the entire Sanggan River camp has spread all over the world, and the little monk has to work hard to take over his uncle's class, this is a trouble, Jin Guogong doesn't know how depressed he is, he is not dead yet, some people are starting to worry about his position, and the little monk is bear-like, almost didn't vomit blood from Jinzhou up and down." ”
"People can't look good, who knows what the little monk will look like in the future, if he doesn't get it right, he won't be better than the current Jin Kingdom!" Liu Chen replied lightly, although the little monk looks extremely unreliable now, and there is no shadow of the future Grand Duke from him, but people will change, they will experience some things, some people, and thus get changes.
Ji Huan smiled noncommittally, then stood up, secretly handed a silver needle-shaped thing to Liu Chen's hand, glanced left and right, and said in a serious voice: "The first thing to do when you enter the academy is the talent test, my aunt told me to give this to you, if there is an emergency, use this needle to pierce the dantian, and you can turn evil into good fortune!"
"Piercing into the dantian?" Liu Chen did not wrinkle, looking at the silver needle in his hand and was silent.
"Liu Chen can enter the imperial capital, but Liu Yi can't!" Ji Huan patted him on the shoulder, then turned around and walked away.
Liu Chen silently watched his back disappear into the darkness in the distance, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, the border city was windy, rolling up the dark clouds in the night sky, covering the half moon that was not very bright, starless in the dark night, cold and lonely.
Recalling everything that has happened in the past few months, Liu Chen feels like he is living in a dream, he originally thought that he was going to die in the old age, but he encountered this war without warning, the war gave him the opportunity, so that he could hope for a better future, the academy, when he was still in Fancheng, this word was a word that he would only appear in his dreams, he had heard a lot of old people, many storytellers described the academy, that is the existence of the same name as the holy land, that is a stage that can change his fate, there, you can hear the instructions of all the saints, you can look at the glory of countless martyrs of the human race, that is the place where the holy ancestors of the human race once preached。
Today, all this has been realized, clenched the letter of recommendation in his hand, Liu Chen's mood is extremely heroic, I have the ability to be a ranger in the mountains and wilderness of Fancheng, from today onwards, when the dragon swims in the sea, and the world from all walks of life will meet the wind and clouds, stirring the tide of Kyushu, "Jinling is not a thing in the pool, a dragon changes in the wind and clouds!"
