Chapter 61 Gu Chenran's Outburst
"Join the army?" Buttocks was shocked.
"There were frequent wars in the northern border, and only two or three out of ten soldiers could return. Even wealthy landlords in the countryside spent a lot of money to hire someone to serve in the army instead of their sons.
You are actually volunteering to join the army. Are you crazy?
If we stay in the capital, we can at least survive for another three to five years. If we join the army, we will risk death! ”
Buttocks tried his best to dissuade Xiaoliu, as he felt that Xiaoliu had gone crazy due to the stimulation.
But Xiao Liu just looked at him calmly and asked, "Can you survive for three to five years, and then what? Will you be a dog that is looked down upon by others every day?"
"But haven't we always been looked down upon..." Buttocks said in a low voice.
He really didn't understand why Xiaoliu suddenly had such a strange idea.
He didn't know that Xiaoliu was stimulated by the woman in the carriage today.
No matter how Butt Duck persuaded him, Xiao Liu's eyes were firm: "I have decided that when my legs are healed, I will join the army!"
Later, Xiaoliu really joined the army, and Buttocks followed him as if possessed by some strange force.
Later, the two of them supported each other on the battlefield and actually achieved great success and accomplishments.
When they return to the capital, their status will be completely different from what it is now.
Of course, this is a later story.
There are countless people in the slums whose lives have changed after receiving help.
That night, Wen Ling felt that strands of golden light were constantly penetrating into her forehead.
Although the golden lights are very tiny, they still feel very powerful when gathered together.
It's like a little bit of dew gathering into a mouthful of sweet spring water. It's very comfortable to drink it in one gulp.
Wen Ling was very happy.
After she finished her training, she found Gu Chenran and wanted to share the good news with him.
As soon as I got here, I heard Lu Jian say, "The prince has locked himself up again. He seems to be feeling a little unwell again. His old illness has come back a bit."
Wen Ling raised an eyebrow: "How is that possible? I just gave him the talisman I drew a few days ago, how could he be haunted by evil spirits again?"
She was very confident in her talisman, and it was not due to external factors, but because of her own heart.
His original intention was influenced by evil thoughts, and he was only a few steps away from becoming possessed.
Wen Ling asked again: "Did he go anywhere today?"
Lu Jian thought hard: "It seems that I didn't go anywhere special, I just went to the palace to see the Concubine Shu..."
"Empress Shufei?" Wen Ling raised her eyebrows.
"Yes, Concubine Shu is the prince's mother. Since the prince lost his mother when he was three years old, the emperor sent him to the childless Concubine Shu to be raised in the palace.
Although Concubine Shu gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, the year after she raised the prince, she was still very kind to the prince.
Apart from Concubine Shu's place, the prince didn't go anywhere else today. After returning, he locked himself in the room. ”
Lu Jian was afraid that Wen Ling didn't understand, so he specifically introduced the relationship between Concubine Shu and Gu Chenran.
However, Wen Ling felt that the relationship between this Concubine Shu and Gu Chenran might not be that good or close.
Otherwise, why didn't Concubine Shu come on her wedding day with Gu Chenran? Not only had she been married into the palace for more than a month, but Concubine Shu had never summoned her once.
In a place like the royal family where rules are so strictly enforced, even if one is married, if a princess has not been received by her mother, she cannot be considered a princess fully recognized by the royal family.
If Concubine Shu really treated Gu Chenran well, she would never let him marry a woman with a reputation for being stupid, and it was even more impossible for her to be left alone after marrying her.
Make Gu Chenran even more embarrassed.
Wen Ling nodded: "I understand. I'll go in and take a look first."
Lu Jian wanted to say that usually when a prince locks himself up he won’t see anyone, but Wen Ling is not someone else.
When Wen Ling walked into Gu Chenran's room, she felt the chilliness she felt when she first walked into the room, as if the whole room was shrouded in a layer of light black mist.
"Gu Chenran?" Wen Ling shouted as she pushed the door open.
There was a slight movement on the bed.
Wen Ling walked in and saw Gu Chenran curled up on the bed like a trapped beast.
He seemed to be trapped in a nightmare, with his eyes closed and his hands clenched into fists, pressed tightly against his chest.
Wen Ling saw two hearts, one red and one black, beating in unison under his fists.
That black heart showed signs of reviving.
Wen Ling frowned: "The seal shouldn't be loosened so easily."
She started to make hand gestures and strengthened the seal.
She could clearly feel that more mana was needed to strengthen the seal this time.
Fortunately, today's free medical consultation and porridge distribution earned me some merit and helped me recover my cultivation.
Otherwise, I would have to use up all my magic power to reinforce this seal today, and I would have to sleep for at least two days.
As the golden seal became stronger, the evil black heart gradually stopped beating.
Gu Chenran's fist, which was pressed tightly against his chest, loosened a little.
But his eyes were still closed, sweat was pouring down his forehead, as if he was trapped in a nightmare from which he could not wake up.
"Gu Chenran, wake up, everything in the dream is fake." Wen Ling patted him.
Gu Chenran woke up from his dream and when he opened his eyes he saw Wen Ling looking at him beside the bed.
There were tears in his eyes, and the corners of his eyes were bloodshot, like a trapped beast that had just been released, and there was despair and anger in his eyes.
When he looked at Wen Ling, he was still confused, as if he couldn't tell the difference between reality and dreams.
He asked softly: "Wen...Wen Ling?"
"It's me." Wen Ling nodded.
The next moment, she was hugged tightly in Gu Chenran's arms.
She could feel Gu Chenran's chin resting on her shoulder and still trembling slightly.
Wen Ling was stunned for a moment, but thinking that he looked like a wounded little animal, she finally did not push him away.
Gu Chenran hugged Wen Ling tightly, as if he wanted to hold her into his bones and blood.
He kept murmuring, his voice filled with endless fear: "Great, this world has you..."
Wen Ling patted his back like a puppy: "What's wrong? What nightmare did you have?"
Gu Chenran's hair that was scattered on her back was as smooth as silk and felt particularly good to the touch.
Gu Chenran let her pat him, and he seemed to gradually calm down, and his breathing gradually became steady.
He said in a muffled voice: "I seem to have had a very terrible dream.
This dream is very real, but you are not in it.
I have never dreamed of you. At the end of this year, a warlock who came from a thousand years ago robbed my body.
He is very, very strong. The evil heart in me originally belongs to him. I can never get rid of him.
I could only watch him control my body. He killed my father, killed everyone, ascended to that position, and became the next emperor.
Then he preached evil teachings in Dayong and established himself as the God of the World.
He killed countless people and looted countless natural treasures all over the country, just to provide for his cultivation.
I could only watch from within my body as he did these things with my body.
Occasionally I snatched my body, but the people around me thought I was crazy for snatching my body, and locked me up until that person regained control of my body..."
When Gu Chenran said this, his breathing began to become rapid again.
He could still feel the feeling of being out of control in the dream even when he closed his eyes.
His soul seemed to be locked in a small dark room by his body.
Wen Ling accurately extracted the key words: "Does he call himself the Lord of the World?"
"Yes," Gu Chenran nodded affirmatively: "He has never appeared before, and will suddenly appear at the end of this year.
He told me that the big ghosts that appeared beside me before were just trying to wear down my will.
He knew that those big ghosts could not control me in the end, only he could,
He will appear at the end of the year..."
