Xiao Chenyan pushed the door and entered the house.
The two people sitting in the room looked at him at the same time.
Time seemed to slow down at this moment.
It’s like returning to my youth.
He is still the eldest grandson of the emperor, dressed in fine clothes and riding a horse.
He is still that high-spirited major general.
He is still that dignified and steady little master.
Yun Zheng looked at Xiao Chenyan and grinned, revealing his two fangs. The dimples on both sides of his cheeks looked particularly bright, and he looked cheerful and handsome, just as he was back then.
"A Yan!"
Xiao Chenyan looked at him for a long time, with a smile spreading to the corners of his eyes.
"Ah Zheng."
The chains on Yun Zheng's body had been untied. He strode towards Xiao Chenyan, opened his arms, hugged him, and patted Xiao Chenyan's back hard.
"Good brother, you have been wronged."
When Xiao Chenyan heard this, he laughed a little.
It is somewhat inappropriate for a dead person who is being used as a puppet to comfort a living person.
Xiao Chenyan met Xie Shu's gaze.
Xie Shu put his hands in his sleeves, with a look of helplessness on his face.
Under such circumstances, he was still in the mood to comfort others, which was indeed something the young Yun Zheng could do.
"Why aren't you talking?" Yun Zheng let him go, looked left and right, and shook his head:
"It's just like what Ah Shu said. Look at you now. The snow in the north is so strong that you've been frozen like an ice man. You look so stinky. How can I give you money?"
Xiao Chenyan looked at his heartless smile and said:
"You are almost thirty years old, you should be more stable than you who are not yet thirty years old."
Yun Zheng's current memories and personality are still stuck in his youth, and he is indeed a person who has not yet reached adulthood.
"Oh, you're so annoying. I heard you got married? How does your sister-in-law tolerate your cold face?"
Xiao Chenyan glanced at Xie Shu, and when their eyes met, Xiao Chenyan felt sad.
"It doesn't matter. She has a soft spot for me."
Yun Zheng frowned and narrowed his eyes.
Xie Shudu glanced sideways with a meaningful look in his eyes.
Xiao Chenyan remained calm: "I treat her the same way."
"That's enough, that's enough." Yun Zheng showed disdain on his face and teased, "You've changed so much that I almost don't recognize you anymore. Are you still the Xiao Chenyan who swore that he would never marry until the world is settled?"
“People change all the time.”
Yun Zheng suddenly fell silent, then tilted his head and smiled again: "Yes, everything has changed."
Just like waking up from a dream, everything he was familiar with in the past collapsed and changed.
He seemed to be abandoned by time.
The Marquis Zhenguo Mansion is gone, his father is gone, and the 100,000 soldiers who fought bravely together against the enemy are also gone.
Relatives, close friends, and comrades-in-arms, some died, some changed.
Only he is still stuck in that past time.
"I heard that I have a younger sister." Yun Zheng suddenly asked, "But why don't I remember her?"
Xiao Chenyan lowered his eyes: "Not remembering is not a bad thing."
"But I want to find her." Yun Zheng smiled and tapped his head: "Actually, when I woke up, I felt like I had forgotten something very important. When Ah Shu mentioned that I had a sister, it felt like an epiphany."
"I feel like I have to find her."
"It's strange."
"There are so many blood feuds in front of me, but I always feel like I am listening to another person's life."
"I always feel like my parents are still alive, and the 100,000 Beiyun Army soldiers are still here..."
"On the contrary, it is this sister whom I have forgotten that makes me feel that I must find her."
Yun Zheng was a little absent-minded: "It seems that finding her is the value of my existence."
Xiao Chenyan's expression slightly changed, and his fingers clenched. He looked at Yun Zheng and said calmly:
"Don't worry, just take your time to look for it. You should gather your strength first, as there are more important things waiting for you to do."
Yun Zheng looked puzzled.
"My father's death, the injustice of the Zhenguo Marquisate, and the 100,000 soldiers who died in the battle, they all shouldn't have ended so sloppily."
"Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor."
"Revenge is needed."
"If there are pests in the country, they should be killed."
Ten miles outside the capital.
The troops of the three vassal kings gathered here.
The old emperor had nine sons. The eldest, the former crown prince, had passed away, and the third, the deposed crown prince, had died shortly after being thrown into the imperial prison.
Aside from Prince Hui and the seven princes who were still in Nanling, the troops of the remaining princes all headed towards Kyoto.
At this moment, gathered in the suburbs of Beijing were Prince Yong, who was the second oldest, Prince Fu, who was the third oldest, and Prince Ding, who was the eighth oldest.
The fiefs of these three princes were all located to the east of Dayong, so their assembly was naturally smooth.
In the makeshift tent, Prince Yong had a gloomy look on his face. When he was young, he was frightened by a horse and broke his leg. He has been lame ever since. He lost the qualification to compete for the throne early on and had a very sinister personality.
The Qi clans of Prince Yu and Prince Ding were not of high status, so they were enfeoffed at an early age.
How could the three of them not know what the turmoil in the court of Dayong had been like in the past ten years?
As the imperial court was in chaos, Prince Yan and Prince Hui controlled the palace, and it was said that the old emperor was not far from death. This was a good opportunity for the three to take advantage of the situation.
Prince Yong said coldly: "Are the Sixth and Ninth not here yet?"
The king smiled and said, "The fiefs of the sixth and ninth brothers are in the northwest. It will take some time for them to come here. Besides, it doesn't matter whether they come or not."
"There is only one throne, do you want more people to fight for it, second brother?"
Prince Yong snorted coldly: "My brother, be careful with your words. We are here to purge the emperor's entourage. Who will inherit the throne will naturally follow the rules of our ancestors."
