Chapter 22: Records of the Army
This night, Chen was drunk and insomnia again. Lying in bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time.
Xing Tian understood his disciple's mood at this time, he was worried about his father. When the two countries went to war, Chen Lin, as the commander, must be the target of all the enemies of Da Zhao. If you want to survive, you can only win.
Since ancient times, the winner is the king, and the loser is cole.
If Chen Lin's army is defeated, more Tianji people will die tragically under the enemy's iron cavalry.
Thinking of this, Xing Tian couldn't help but sigh. He also has a father, and he understands this father-son relationship deeply.
"Master. ”
Chen Zui's voice awakened Xingtian's contemplation of the past, and after a slight "um" as a response, Chen Zui continued.
"Master, I... I want to go to the border. ”
This sentence, although he was obviously asking for Xingtian's opinion, Xingtian was not stupid, and of course he could hear the resoluteness and affirmation in his words.
In fact, when Xingtian saw Chen Zui like this, he also wanted to persuade him to go to the battlefield to help his father. However, this is not for the sake of the father-son relationship in Chen Zui's heart, but for the fear that if Chen Lin dies, he has a body of cultivation, but he can't save the lives of his loved ones. This matter will inevitably become an obstacle to Chen Zui's cultivation in the future.
"Whatever you want. Although Xing Tian agreed early in his heart, he continued without changing his tone, "But you must not slack off in your cultivation. ”
After hearing this, Chen Zui frowned, and cautiously agreed, "Definitely not." ”
Shaoqin, Chen Zui changed into night clothes, showed his skills, up and down, left and right, and galloped towards the deep courtyard of the palace.
In the past month or so, Chen Zui has also secretly come to the Forbidden Palace several times, except for the first time to ask about the origin of the Soul Rejuvenation Pill, the rest of the times are all to ask the emperor's eldest brother Tie Wujiang to allow his father Chen Lin to return home and reunite. The cultivator was already deaf and clear-sighted, and he never forgot it, but after only a few in-depth years, he was already roughly familiar with the palace, and he dodged the patrol guards all the way, and came directly to the palace where Tie Wujiang reviewed and folded.
As usual, Chen Zui made a slight noise on the roof. So that the shadow guards around Tie Wujiang know that they have arrived, so that they can retire from the idle people around the emperor. After all, he didn't want too many people to know the secret between himself and the emperor.
But after waiting for a while, no one left the palace. Chen Zui's body floated down, hid aside, and looked at the palace.
The doors of the temple were closed and there were no guards. But the hall was brightly lit. When I closed my eyes and listened carefully, I could faintly hear the sound of breathing. There must be people in the temple.
"Could it be that something happened to Big Brother Wujiang?"
Chen Zui thought about it, so he couldn't wait to move his body to the outside of the palace gate, and after putting on a move that could be attacked, retreated, and defended, he gently pushed the door open.
The door slowly opened, and Chen Zui finally saw the situation in the hall. He was about to open the door and attack, but at this moment, he saw Tie Wujiang sitting alone on the throne with a pen and writing, thinking that he was reviewing the chapter. He also carefully observed the other places around the temple, and found nothing unusual.
Before long, Tie Wujiang's voice slowly came into Chen Zui's ears, "You're finally here, big brother has been waiting for you for a while." ”
"Damn. Hearing that Tie Wujiang had not had an accident, Chen Zui, couldn't help but stretch out his middle finger at Tie Wujiang and scolded. "You're here alone, and there's no one to keep you safe. I thought something had happened to you, causing me to be worried. ”
Chen Zui, who has followed Xingtian for more than eight years, has not learned much about other skills, but this self-proclaimed Lao Tzu's temper is fully learned. In front of his own family and elders, he naturally didn't dare to call it that, but this was in front of his eldest brother, so there were not so many constraints. What's more, he was shocked for him.
Tie Wujiang raised his head, pointed at Chen Zui with his left hand, shook his head helplessly and chuckled, "Heh... You ......", and there is nothing to do about Chen Zui's temper. Despite this, Tie Wujiang still felt Chen Zui's heartfelt concern for him.
Chen Zui entered the hall and turned to close the temple door. walked to Tie Wujiang, then put away his laughter, and said to Tie Wujiang seriously, "Big brother, I want to go to the border pass." ”
"Good. To Chen Zui's surprise, Tie Wujiang did not stop Chen Zui's request, but was a little happy and relieved.
Tie Wujiang may also realize that he can't wait, and he behaves too much, so he hurriedly plays the round. "This... If I don't stop you, won't you go? Anyway, if you pass on three generations, your grandfather will definitely stop you, the only seedling. Lonely is simply a good person in front of you. ”
"I see. Chen Zui thought to himself.
Then he said, "If my grandfather and mother knew that I wanted to go to the border gate, they would definitely stop me, so I planned to leave home secretly. ”
Tie Wujiang was puzzled, and looked at Chen Zui suspiciously, "Oh? are you going to run away from home again?"
"I want to join the army. Chen Zui's eyes were firm, and he said solemnly to Tie Wujiang, "I think the eldest brother will arrange an identity for me." ”
Tie Wujiang pondered, he was too eager just now, although he also wanted Chen Zui to go to the border to help, he had to pretend to ask.
After a while, Tie Wujiang said to Chen Zui in embarrassment, "It's not difficult to arrange a position for you to march, but if the old prince asks about it afterwards, how can you explain it to me?"
"So I wanted to change my identity. For the people in the family, I will leave a book to explain. My father was the only one who knew me among the border guards, but he hadn't seen me for many years, and he couldn't recognize me. ”
"Moreover, you also know my ability, even if I can't defeat the enemy and win, but if I want to save my life, it is not difficult. Chen Zui also understands Tie Wujiang's embarrassment, but he doesn't give up and argues with Tie Wujiang.
After hearing this, Tie Wujiang smiled bitterly, "Actually, to be honest, I'm worried that your ability is too great. ”
"Oh?
"I can't talk to you more, you just have to promise me not to reveal your exercises in front of people. When Tie Wujiang said this, he was very serious, and it was rare to be serious.
"Actually, I'll tell you the truth, although I went to fight this time, although I had the intention of contributing to the people of Tianji, but I was more afraid that at a critical moment, my father would make a mistake. ”
Seeing that Chen Zui said so earnestly, Tie Wujiang nodded lightly after pretending to ask for it again, "That's fine." You must remember not to reveal your identity as a cultivator, otherwise you won't be able to protect you even if you are alone. However, you don't have any military achievements, and I can't arrange too high a position for you, so how about appointing you to be a Dingyuan general first?"
Chen Zui was very excited when he heard that Tie Wujiang agreed to his request, hugged his fists and saluted Tie Wujiang, and said gratefully, "Thank you, big brother." ”
