Chapter 115
Chapter 115
Everyone in the hunting grounds saw the strange phenomenon from the sky, and the news spread like wildfire, flying from the imperial city to the north in just a few days.
Along with the eight-character prediction, there was also news that the prince had fallen off his horse and died.
The Fourth Prince had a louder voice, and the Third Prince, a useless heir, was forced by the old emperor to participate in political affairs.
The old emperor needs a knife that can sharpen the prince, not a weapon that can be placed on his neck.
Unfortunately, the prince failed to hone his skills and died in the same spring as in his previous life.
The position of crown prince is vacant, the second son is blind, the third prince is hopeless, and the fourth prince proclaimed himself king.
As soon as they returned from the hunting grounds, the emperor, the empress, and the third prince's newly promoted mother, all tried their best to find out the news about the Astronomical Observatory.
Ni Yangzhou had already anticipated this, but no one had seen it. He only knew that the country's destiny had not been interrupted and could still continue, but he just didn't know who would continue it.
But so far, there is also a strange thing.
After the news of the Fourth Prince's rebellion and proclaiming himself emperor came, there had been no other unusual movements. Ni Yangzhou originally thought that the old emperor had ordered the control of the spread of information. When he finally arrived in the north, he found out that the Fourth Prince's army and the rebellious county governor were all hiding and had no intention of expanding their scope.
Ni Yangzhou looked at the tall north city wall, not knowing where to find his good student whom he had not seen for a long time.
His good student came to look for him first.
The bustling crowd that had been queuing outside the city seemed to have been gradually paused. The clanging sounds of weapons and armor came before the dark shadows of the army, reflecting silver light like a thin, bright mirror on the barren wilderness.
Min Liu no longer leads the team in surprise attacks. He is now the main general who fights head-on.
Leading the team on the tall horse is the famous General Chang, who is also the most proud vanguard leader under Teacher Min Liu. Since he took over the responsibility from his teacher, he has been guarding the north alone for ten years.
Min Liu was wearing simple Ming Guang armor, with his black hair tied back, following behind General Chang, wearing a half helmet. It was the equipment he wore for his daily patrols, but it made him look elegant and graceful. His skin looked even a little pale in the sun, and the people lowered their heads in fear, and no one would look at his face.
Except for Ni Yangzhou who just looked up blankly.
The man riding on the red-maned horse seemed no longer suitable to be called a young man. After not seeing him for several months, Ni Yangzhou was surprised to find that the figure in front of him had become extremely familiar.
The man on the horse did not move, but turned his face slightly towards Ni Yangzhou following the sunlight.
Ni Yangzhou knew that it was Min Liu.
The little kid who once wore patched clothes, had blisters all over his body, and talked to himself to the kitten.
Ni Yangzhou entered the city with a lot of thoughts in his mind. The Taoist's fake certificate from Yongsong Temple worked very well. As a Taoist, he was even flattered and welcomed by the civilians and gatekeepers.
With one move in Yihong County, Taoism became completely famous and firmly occupied the position of incense burner in the choice of worship in the market.
Ni Yangzhou had just chosen an inn to stay in. As soon as he pushed open the wooden door frame, he was hugged by a cold body.
Before the waiter could finish his introduction, he was pushed out of the door by a gust of wind. He quickly apologized to the Infinite Heavenly Master and the Tathagata Buddha and ran back to the hall.
Ni Yangzhou was strangled so hard that he could only breathe out but not in. He just called out softly, "Xiao Liu?"
The face buried in the back hummed sullenly and said:
"elder brother……
You just came to me."
Ni Yangzhou felt uncomfortable being hugged, and was speechless when he heard it. He stopped trying to pry open his arms, but just patted them twice to comfort them, and said softly:
"Let go first, I can't breathe."
The person behind him then turned around and came forward reluctantly.
Ni Yangzhou half raised his head, looking at Min Liu unable to look straight at him. A pair of pure black pupils looked at him, like some kind of beast.
If you don't move, your throat will be sealed.
"I……"
Ni Yangzhou didn't know where to start reminiscing about the past, and Min Liu spoke first:
"Brother, you have lost weight."
Ni Yangzhou smoothed the wrinkles on his sleeves.
"And shorter."
"...That's impossible." Ni Yangzhou finally couldn't hold back the words he had been holding in his mouth and blurted out:
"Is that fertilizer that's blown in the sand from the north? How come it's made you grow so tall?"
Min Liu habitually relied on the context to guess the words that the young man didn't understand, and after understanding the general meaning, he just said:
"It's my brother who hasn't been here for a long time."
Ni Yangzhou thought to himself, I'm back to the beginning again. I just gave you medicine without calculating the dosage. Am I a quack doctor? I can't get away with this.
But to a protagonist who I have raised for several years, I can't say anything harsh:
"It's my fault. I've been too busy lately."
The corners of Min Liu's eyes were red from the wind and sand, and when he looked up from below, he always seemed a little aggrieved.
"It's not my fault, brother," the tall young man pulled Ni Yangzhou's sleeve, led him to a chair, and reached out to make a cup of hot tea.
"I just missed you."
……
Ni Yangzhou's heart was beating uncontrollably and his blood was about to rush to his forehead.
No, protagonist, we haven't seen each other for several months. The last time we met, we were teacher and student. This time the language is so ambiguous, as if I missed some plot. Why did you suddenly learn to play straight?
"Xiao Liu." Ni Yangzhou said in a serious tone.
He doesn't want to make the same mistake again.
“Watch your tone.”
Min Liu was not wearing a black cloth to cover her eyes. Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes were exposed to the air, like crystal clear obsidian, looking over at her solemnly.
"What tone."
"Why can't I talk to you like this."
His tone was calm, perhaps a little too calm.
Ni Yangzhou stopped serving tea, feeling inexplicably frightened in his heart. He stopped avoiding the gaze and looked back into those eyes.
I vaguely saw the difference.
A pair of big hands climbed onto Ni Yangzhou's shoulders again without anyone noticing:
"If I can't call you that, then who can?"
"I can't miss you?"
"Then who can?"
"Who can?"
"Who can?"
"——Who is that person?"
Dark dreams are clues, salvation, and mud.
And in the mud there often bloom gorgeous, disorienting flowers.
