The current month in Xiling is a good time to enjoy the autumn scenery. The sky is clear and cloudless, and the scenery outside the capital is even more beautiful.
Xiling is located south of Dayan and Beidi, and is relatively a rich place. However, a great battle with Dayan six years ago consumed most of the national treasury.
The old emperor valued civil service over military affairs, favoring romance and romance. For years, he suppressed military generals, believing that only culture could prosper the country. Finally, he realized that the military was already short of truly useful men, forcing the loyal and brave Marquis Bai, now in his sixties, to take up arms.
In his youth, Lord Bai was also a renowned war god of Xiling, but his age had weakened his health. Although he personally fought in the battles that temporarily brought peace, he was severely wounded on the battlefield and died within a year.
It's a shame that the once-glorious Marquisate has been handed down to the old Marquis's mediocre only son, Bai Heguang. Fortunately, the legitimate grandson, Bai Su, looks capable of standing firm. At such a young age, he's already fighting alongside his grandfather, and he embodies the spirit of the old Marquis Bai in his youth, a true young hero.
But who would have known that not long after the death of Lord Bai, something happened to the Crown Prince Bai Su. He "accidentally" fell off his horse during a hunting trip.
His right hand and foot, used to wielding a knife, were trampled by horse hooves. Although he was not completely disabled after treatment, he was left with a limp and a slow limp. His right hand also became weak and powerless. A deep gash on his handsome face was cut by the sharp stone, leaving an unsightly scar.
From then on, this child of destiny became a nobody. Others, hearing about this, could only say, "It's a pity." The pain involved, perhaps only the person involved could understand.
Xiling is now much different than it was in the past. Not only are the border towns struggling, but even the people in the capital are struggling. Yet, the nobles still indulge in pleasure, throwing a lavish autumn banquet.
The flower gardens on both sides of Lan Garden had already been filled with various famous products for this autumn according to the instructions of Queen Yan. The value of the two pots of black chrysanthemums alone was unknown.
The children of noble families gathered together to recite poems and compose essays, pretending to be elegant.
Bai Su stood alone in a corner, as if the bustle of the garden had nothing to do with him. The occasional glances of some sighing or disdainful towards him had no effect on him at all.
He was already accustomed to such gazes.
Suddenly, a thick thunder dragon flashed across the clear sky, startling everyone.
In an instant, the sky and the earth lost their color, all sounds fell silent, and time and space seemed to have stopped at this moment.
However, it only took a second for everything to return to normal.
Strangely, no one could remember what had just happened, as if the sudden celestial phenomenon was just an illusion.
[Small World Host Replacement and Reshaping...]
[…Soul infusion completed.]
No one knew that in the carriage of Prince Ning's Mansion, their prince had been completely replaced from head to toe.
The man's narrow eyes opened, and a golden light flashed in them.
A tall man in gorgeous white clothes lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage. He ignored the servants who wanted to support him and walked straight towards Lan Garden.
Along the way, his brows were furrowed, his handsome face was full of frost, and he looked like a person who didn't want anyone to come near him.
A silver-throated long-tailed tit, taking advantage of the fact that no one could see it, tumbled in the sky, following the man closely, looking naive. But when it opened its mouth, it had a deep, old-fashioned voice.
"Boss, don't worry, we came at the right time. Mr. Bai should be fine now!"
Hearing this voice, Chen Tian's eyes twitched suddenly. He asked in his sea of consciousness while running: "Why is it you? Didn't I tell you to let 555 come?"
Hearing this, Xiao Feichu's eyes drifted away for a moment, feeling guilty. Thinking of the young man who had been forced to stay home because his injuries had not yet healed, he said calmly, "Boss, it doesn't matter whether Xiao Wu or I come. I can also help you."
Chen Tian did not comment and did not continue the topic.
It's not that he couldn't understand 009's concern for his partner. 555 had been injured while helping to seal the filth, so he didn't need to ask him to come along this time. It was just that 555 had experienced many small worlds with Bai Su and was more familiar with his lover.
But now it's not impossible to switch to System 009. 009 is very strong and steady, so Chen Tian is also very relieved.
Chen Tiancai waited until he reached the entrance of the garden and stopped only when he saw a figure in the corner.
The familiar soul fluctuations made his breathing pause. Even just a side profile was enough to shock him.
Finally found him!
Not far away, a young man in a black robe was tall but exceptionally thin, with a well-defined face and a handsome appearance. His long black hair was simply held up by a white jade crown, and he wore no accessories at all, looking very plain.
The young man lowered his eyes, seemingly unaware of the fiery gaze of someone behind him, and quickly turned his back.
Chen Tian stood in the shadows, greedily tracing the other person's back with his eyes.
He clenched his teeth and took a few deep breaths to calm the soreness in the corners of his eyes.
This is his eternal partner, the lover with whom he has experienced countless things and with whom he is spiritually bound!
Chen Tian suppressed the urge to run over and embrace the person in his arms, but he knew that he couldn't do it now. Bai Su lost his memory after falling into the small world, and he was still just a stranger to him!
Thinking of this, Chen Tian quickly lowered his head and pretended to straighten the wrinkles on his clothes, trying to calm himself down quickly.
I was thinking quickly in my mind about how to strike up a conversation with my sweetheart. At least, I had to try my best to show off my masculine charm and leave a good impression.
However, before he could figure out how to perform the peacock spreading its tail, a group of uninvited guests arrived before him.
"Brother, why are you here alone?"
A handsome man in a green shirt walked up to Bai Su with a surprised tone and spoke in a pretentiously friendly manner.
Chen Tian raised his eyebrows upon hearing this. He could tell that this man looked somewhat similar to Bai Su. However, in his eyes, the other man's temperament was completely inferior.
She is not as tall as his Xiaobai, not as pretty as his Baobei, and even her voice is awful, with weak and soft pronunciation.
Especially since although this person spoke gently, his eyes looked at Bai Su with deep calculations, which was annoying.
"Brother, why don't you come with us to the poetry meeting? The Fifth Prince just made a wish that winning first place would bring good luck."
Seeing that Bai Su ignored him, Bai Feizhang was not discouraged and continued.
As expected, the person opposite him was as silent and cold-faced as ever, and seemed to be deliberately trying to embarrass him.
Bai Feizhang had known this would happen. He deliberately acted a little hurt, but he was magnanimous and quickly comforted the people around him, saying that it might be because his brother didn't like writing poetry. Then he turned to Bai Su and pretended to apologize, "Sorry, brother, Feizhang is meddling."
Bai Feizhang's behavior undoubtedly caused dissatisfaction among those around him. In this situation, even a fool could tell that this group of people were looking for trouble. Bai Su had no intention of playing along with them, so he turned around and limped away.
Only then did Chen Tian notice that Bai Su's steps were a little unsteady.
As soon as he arrived in the small world, he rushed to find Bai Su. He simply absorbed the original owner's memory. He had not carefully read the main plot of the small world and did not know what happened to Bai Su.
Seeing his lover's condition, he thought he had injured his leg and felt a little worried. Just as he was about to step forward, a young man's voice suddenly rang out.
"I never thought the prince of the dignified Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery would be so rude. In my opinion, the old marquis's vision is nothing special. The so-called God of War of Xiling may be an exaggeration."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Su, who had already left, suddenly stopped.
The people in front stepped aside, revealing the person being surrounded. Chen Tian flipped through the transmitted memories and recognized the person as the fifth prince of the current dynasty, the youngest son of Empress Yan.
The Fifth Prince was still young, but with the support of both the Empress and the Prime Minister, he had been the center of attention since childhood. Furthermore, the current Emperor, who had few children, doted on this youngest son, leading him to develop a domineering and arrogant personality despite his young age.
As expected, as soon as he finished speaking, the people around him began to echo his words.
In the past, no one would have dared to say this about Old Marquis Bai. But now, the old Marquis had passed away for many years, and the Marquisate was no longer what it used to be.
Bai Su's limbs were already crippled, and many people felt that the position of the Crown Prince of the Loyal and Brave Marquisate would eventually go to Bai Feizhang. Rather than being wary of Bai Su, it would be better to take this opportunity to befriend Bai Feizhang.
Bai Su clenched his fists, and his eyes, which had been emotionless until now, finally showed some anger.
He could tolerate being insulted and ridiculed, but he could not tolerate his most respected grandfather being told no.
Even though the person who said this was the high and mighty Fifth Prince.
So he turned around and walked towards these people with determination. No matter how embarrassed he was by the inconvenience on his feet, his back remained straight.
He approached and clasped his fists, saying, "Fifth Prince, be careful with your words! My grandfather defended the borders for our country and fought on the battlefield for decades. His achievements are absolutely not an exaggeration!"
The Fifth Prince was used to being flattered. Even though he was a shrewd man in the imperial family, he was still just a child. He hated being disobeyed. He snorted coldly, "Your Highness, you are so bold! You actually dared to disobey your superiors. Today, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of Old Marquis Bai!"
Upon hearing the Fifth Prince's words, someone beside him immediately followed suit, pretending to be powerful: "That's right, a cripple who can't even lift a finger dares to challenge the Fifth Prince. Do you really think you're still the glorious young general you once were?"
When Chen Tian saw the contempt on the face of the person who spoke, he felt that this person looked like cannon fodder and was instantly shocked.
Just when I was worried that I had no chance to show off, here comes such a great opportunity for a hero to save a beauty!
