Ye Cheng curled up in the sack, only feeling the sound of the oars paddling on the water in the silent night, the river at night was no longer as restless as it was during the day, but this silence added a dead silence to the present. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info"Could it be that the river also knew that we were about to die, so it also quieted down?" Ye Cheng couldn't help laughing at himself.

It felt like another half an hour or so, and Ye Cheng couldn't feel the hull moving anymore.

"It seems that we are in the center of the river, we are about to die, and it stands to reason that the dying should remember something, but why is my mind blank now? Ye Cheng felt that his body was empty, and in the face of impending death, he couldn't say that it was fear, regret, or relief.

Of course, he still has concerns, that is Zhong Qing.

At this time, Zhong Qing, who was tied to another bag, had another thought: "I don't know if there will be a river god at the bottom of the river, if he sees us die unjustly, will he save us, if he saves us, then Brother Ye and I will simply not get up, and live happily at the bottom of the river for the rest of our lives, isn't it also a good thing?"

Unlike Ye Cheng and Zhong Qing, Lu Li's thoughts drifted far away, the secret hidden in his heart and never mentioned to anyone, the memory that he almost thought he was about to forget, but at this moment, it flooded his heart again.

The oars were hung aside, and the three of them seemed to hear the prelude to their death in this crisp sound, but then it was not as they imagined, they were thrown to the bottom of the sea one by one, but a faint light suddenly appeared in front of them.

The bag is opened!

Old Scar's scarred face was staring at them, still so cold, but in the eyes of the three of them, this was the best-looking and most handsome face in the world at this moment.

The rope and the cotton cloth blocked in the mouth were removed, and the three of them looked at each other, but Lu Li was the first to speak: "Old Scar, you are ......"

"Don't say anything, I'll send you to the other side in a moment, run for your life. Scar was still calm.

"Then the old scar senior, how should you get back?" Ye Cheng asked.

"There is such a benefit in the life in this river of corpses, I can't see people alive, I can't see corpses when I die, how to return is not all in my mouth. Old Scar smiled faintly.

"Then thank you Scar, senior. Zhong Qing has escaped death now and can see Ye Cheng again, so the disgust for the old scar has completely disappeared, and he can't help but be very grateful in his heart.

"Yes, Scar, you are our savior, but I will go against your will. Ye Cheng followed and said.

"What?"

"I can't go back, Youling is still on the island, more than forty innocent children are also on the island, maybe Dai's predecessors are also on the island, I, Ye Cheng, don't know, now that I know it, if I want to leave, what will be the peace in my heart in the future?" Ye Cheng said angrily.

Old Scar didn't say anything, but stared at Ye Cheng, then nodded and said, "Yes, it's not in vain that I saved your mother and son." ”

As soon as these words came out, Ye Cheng, Zhong Qing and Lu Li were all very surprised, and they didn't understand what the old scar was saying, and they were all stunned for a while.

"Old Scar senior, you say...... What do you mean by saving our mother and son? Could it be ......" Ye Cheng seemed to vaguely feel something.

"Is your mother's name Ye Qiuxue?" Old Scar suddenly looked at Ye Cheng like electricity.

Ye Cheng felt as if he was petrified, because for so many years, his mother's name had been buried deep in his heart, and no one would mention this name at all except himself. At this time, in the dark and silent night river, someone suddenly called out the three words Ye Qiuxue, which really made him unbelievable.

Old Scar smiled, his scarred face moved slightly, and then said, "It seems that there is nothing wrong, you are indeed Ye Niangniang's son." ”

"Ye Niangniang, what's going on, how can Brother Ye's mother be a mother again?" Zhong Qing asked very puzzled.

Lu Li hurriedly signaled Zhong Qing not to interject and wait for the old scar to finish speaking.

Lao Scar ignored Zhong Qing, but continued to say to Ye Cheng: "Sixteen years ago, there was a fire in your house, and your mother escaped death with you in her arms, when you grew up, did you listen to your mother talk about it?"

How could Ye Cheng forget? This incident was mentioned more than once when his mother was alive when he was a child, and that ferocious fire burned everything in his family. According to the mother, if one of them had not rescued them that day, the mother and son would have ......

If it weren't for the help of one person...... If it weren't for the help of one person......

Ye Cheng looked at the old scar covered with scars in front of him, and suddenly his heart moved, he looked at the old scar tremblingly, and muttered, "Could it be that you...... You are the savior who saved our mother and son?"

Old Scar smiled sadly, and suddenly two lines of tears flowed from his eyes, rolling down his ravine-like face.

"You are General Huo!" Ye Cheng saw the old scar's demeanor and knew that he had not guessed wrong, so he grabbed the old scar tightly with both hands excitedly.

"Yes, Ye Gongzi, it is Huo Ran!" Old Scar couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and suddenly fell to his knees.

Ye Cheng was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said sadly: "General Huo, if it weren't for you back then, our mother and son would have been buried in the sea of fire.

"No, Ye Gongzi, I have been thinking about you all these years, until the moment you say your name, I can't believe that this is true, Huo Ran and Gongzi recognized each other, not to ask for credit for the things of the year, but to tell Gongzi a shocking secret. Huo Ran said with a trembling voice.

"What's the secret?" Ye Cheng asked in surprise.

Huo Ran said bitterly: "This is why I hesitated to recognize you in time at that time, because once this secret is told, it may change your life from now on, and it will also go against your mother's original intention." ”

Ye Cheng grabbed Huo Ran's wrist and said earnestly: "General Huo, please tell me, no matter what the result is, I just want to know the truth." ”

"Wait, before you catch up with the past, let's understand how this old scar senior became General Huo Ran again?" Zhong Qing was confused when he heard it next to him just now, and at this time, he couldn't help but be curious, he had to ask Ye Cheng and Huo Ran to understand.

Ye Cheng smiled and said: "Qing'er, this is indeed my negligence, this General Huo Ran was sent by my father to protect our mother and son back then, of course, this is also from my mother when I was a child." ”

"Your father, Brother Ye, this time you should tell me who your father is, and who is your mother?" Zhong Qing asked.

Ye Cheng looked at Huo Ran, then at the master who was drunk and too white, and finally turned his gaze to Zhong Qing. Ye Cheng knew that his life experience could no longer be hidden, and besides, the three people around him, in addition to his and his mother's life-saving benefactor, General Huo Ran, one was his own master, and the other was his favorite girl, if he had to tell his secret, was there a more suitable audience in this world than the two of them? So Ye Cheng nodded and decided to tell his life story in the river boat this night.

"My father's name might surprise you if it were to say it. Ye Cheng smiled at Zhong Qing.

"Let's talk about it, let's see how surprised Qing'er can be. Zhong Qing tilted her head, becoming more and more interested.

"My father is the fourth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, the former King of Yan, and now the Yongle Emperor Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty. My mother is Ye Qiuxue, the daughter of Ye Fengtian, a merchant from Yandi Yuan. Ye Cheng's words came out of his mouth word by word, like a sudden lightning, which made Zhong Qing and Lu Li feel extremely surprised at the same time.

Zhong Qing looked at Ye Cheng with her beautiful eyes like pearls, and couldn't say a word for a while, before she suddenly stroked her palms and smiled: "Brother Ye, you are so interested, you still have the heart to joke at this time! Are you really thinking that Qing'er is a stupid girl?"

"He didn't lie to us. A voice behind him said slowly, Zhong Qing hurriedly turned around, and saw that it was Master Lu Li who said this.

"Master...... Master, what do you mean......" Zhong Qing still couldn't believe his ears.

"I understand Ye Cheng, this kid, although he is sometimes cynical, but he is not a frivolous liar, and he will not lie about such an extremely important matter. ”

"Is this true? Brother Ye, are you ..... You turned out to be the son of the emperor of the dynasty!" Zhong Qing only then believed that Ye Cheng was not teasing herself, but she still subconsciously asked Ye Cheng again.

Ye Cheng smiled bitterly and nodded.

"But perhaps he is also the prince with the most tragic fate. At this time, Huo Ran suddenly spoke.

"Why do you say that? The prince is still miserable, so aren't we ordinary people even more miserable?" Zhong Qing asked very puzzled.

Huo Ran said sadly: "How can we understand the pain of being born in the emperor's family? Flesh and blood cannibalism, the same root and frying each other have happened repeatedly, and the tiger poisons and eats children, and there are no fewer things about harming relatives for power? I have only been in the Ye family for a short period of one year, but unfortunately I know this shocking secret, Ye Gongzi, are you really ready to let me tell it?"

Ye Cheng smiled, his eyes were full of confidence and optimism: "Say it, General Huo, you must have been pressing in your heart for too many years, if you say it, your burden will be smaller, I, Ye Cheng, thank you for your great kindness, let me carry this burden for you for a while." ”

Huo Ran nodded and said sadly: "I really didn't save my mistake at that time, you didn't disgrace your mother." ”

Ye Cheng didn't speak, but quietly waited for Huo Ran to tell the secret that had been hidden in his heart for many years, Ye Cheng vaguely felt that once this secret was spoken, many people and things might be changed.
