Dragon Clan: Reboot Life

Inuyama Ka opened his sleepy eyes, suddenly woke up, his eyes were sharp, and the room was filled with a drunken smell of low-quality alcohol.

Someone broke into his room quietly and drunk?
He stretched out his hand to grab Onimaru Kunizun beside the bed, the famous Demon Slaying Sword in Japanese history. As a contemporary swordsman, Inuyamaka would never let the sword leave his side too far, but this time he caught nothing.

"Ahe, long time no see, thank you for paying the land fee all these years." A calm yet deeply tired voice sounded.

At that moment Inuyama Kazuru was struck by lightning, turned his head in disbelief, and looked at the source of the sound.

It was a gray-haired old man, wearing a rain-soaked overcoat and a ramen chef's turban on his head. He looked a little ridiculous. He seemed to have just been drunk and smelled of alcohol all over his body.

"Your Majesty..." Inuyama Ka blurted out, but was stopped by Uesugi Koshi raising his hand.

"My time has passed, I am not your Majesty anymore, now I am just a stall selling ramen." Uesugi Yue wiped the crimson handle of the knife and handed it back to Inuyamaga.

Inuyamaga stood up and took Onimaru Kunisna from Uesugi Koshi with trembling hands respectfully.

He respects Tachibana Masamune, because in the past 20 years, Tachibana Masamune has turned the tide and brought the family back on track.

He also respects Yuan Zhisheng, and it is precisely because of the appearance of Yuan Zhisheng that the original family that had been fighting endlessly regained its cohesion. Only the emperor can completely convince the next five families. Emphasis on identity, as well as the identity of the heir of the Ju family, was able to control the power of the family.

But for this old man, all he has is fanaticism and worship.

When Inuyama Heshang was still young, Uesugi Koshi had already been established as the emperor of the Saki Eight Clans. The distinguished elders surrounded him as the leader, shouting that his incarnation was God's reward for the family. On the throne prepared, even if the movements were not dignified, it still fresh in the memory of the young Inuyamaga.

That was the new pinnacle reached by the Snake Eight Clans in modern times. The power of the family was once exerted on the whole country through its influence on the emperor. The uncrowned king of Japan, and the man in front of him is the former supreme ruler of the family.

"Sit down, Ahe, I just wanted to chat with you." Uesugi said calmly.

"Yes!" Inuyama He knelt on the floor, his eyebrows lowered, his expression solemn.

"Ahe, I heard that the family has a new emperor, is it true?"

Inuyama He was startled, and almost blurted out that the present emperor is actually your blood descendant, but when he thought of Yuan Zhisheng's instructions, he hesitated,

Not long ago, at the invitation of Yuan Zhisheng, he had a private meeting with Yuan Zhisheng, and learned from the other party a series of secrets that even he did not know, including the fact that the Yuan Zhisheng brothers were " Test-tube babies" facts.

And in this meeting, Minamoto unabashedly expressed his doubts about Tachibana Masamune.

It is undoubtedly a headache for the current patriarch to doubt the previous patriarch. One bad thing will cause turmoil within the family and even disintegrate.

What is even more shocking is that Mr. Masamune Tachibana died in the depths of Genji Heavy Industries last night!
This matter is very complicated, and if you are not careful, it may cause civil strife in the family. However, to the surprise of the several patriarchs, Yuan Zhisheng handled it very well. the primer.

Tachibana Masamune has used both kindness and power within the family these years, and has captured many hearts. Many people think of him, but now that he is dead, Yuan Zhisheng puts on the gesture of wanting to avenge him and fight to the death with the demons, and wins in one fell swoop. With a large number of support, the current family is similar to "underdogs"

"Yes, the family got three royal bloods after you, and the most stable one is now the head of the family."

"The three imperial blood? When did the imperial blood become so prolific." Uesugi Koshi looked gloomy.

Inuyamaga's expression was silent, and thinking about it now, he also had some palpitations.

This incident really reveals the strangeness. Originally, the family agreed that the imperial blood would be cut off on Uesugi Koshi, but the appearance of Tachibana Masamune found unexpected imperial blood for the family, and there were three of them at once!
But the family at that time was immersed in the joy of regaining the lost blood of the emperor, and no one cared about these trivial matters at all. It was just that God favored the family again.

"They... how are they doing now?" Uesugi asked in a low voice.

"The eldest, Yuan Zhisheng, took over the identity of the head of the family and is the current leader of the family. The second son, Yuan Zhinv, was judged to be a ghost a few years ago, and was killed by... the head of Yuan Zhisheng himself. The youngest Miss Erika's body has been ill, and she has been staying in the family's internal medical room all year round."

After a little hesitation, Inuyama Ka still truthfully told what he knew so far.

Uesugi Yue's pupils dilated, and his lips trembled, "Ghost? How could Emperor Xue be a ghost?"

Inuyamaga lowered his eyes: "The family priest thinks that Minamoto girl corresponds to the family's Susanoo."

"Susano's life?" Uesugi Yue murmured, he remembered something, and said with pain in his eyes, "Is it that curse?!"

Inuyama Ka's expression was startled, and he couldn't help asking: "Dare to ask my lord, what is the curse?"

"That's the curse of twins." Uesugi said in a low voice, "There has always been a legend in the upper three families that if twins appear in the descendants of the emperor's blood, one of them must be killed, because if they all survive to awaken, one of them will die." It will become a ghost, and it is a ghost that flows with the blood of the emperor. The twins of the emperor's blood recorded in the previous generation are Minamoto Raimitsu and Shuten Doji."

Inuyama He's heart skipped a beat, he had never heard of this secret, presumably it was a secret passed down from generation to generation by the upper three families.

"He... killed his younger brother with his own hands?" Uesugi Yue murmured, "How could he be so heartless as to kill his own younger brother with his own hands..."

"Everyone has no other choice..." Inuyama Kashi comforted the old man in front of him.

He was faintly suspicious, the old man in front of him seemed to know that Yuan Zhisheng and the two were his descendants, and what Uesugi Koshi said next undoubtedly confirmed his conjecture.

"All these years I've been thinking, if I die, will anyone come to my funeral besides the brothers from the church? I have no relatives in this world, maybe only that old guy in Angers will come and give me a bouquet of flowers , but a few hours ago I suddenly heard that I have two sons and a daughter, I don't know how to describe my feelings, Ahe, can you understand?"

There was fatigue and joy in Uesugi Koshi's eyes.

Inuyamaga stared at the already old man, lowered his head: "You, you should go see the head of Minamoto."

"Ahe, have you met my father?" Uesugi Yue suddenly asked.

"Accompanied by my father, I was fortunate to meet a few times." Inuyama He said respectfully.

"But I haven't seen it." Uesugi said softly, "I haven't seen my chess master father since I can remember. He was still alive when I returned to China. He just waited for me to float from France to Japan. He died. He was a thin man who was fed by his family every day and took aphrodisiac drugs to be a stallion. , why didn't you think about committing suicide?"

Inuyamaga pursed his lips, not daring to answer.

"I didn't think about it until someone told me privately that my dead ghost father had been waiting for me and wanted to see me for the last time, but unfortunately he still didn't make it. Do you think it was because he wanted to see me?" My mind persisted until the last moment?"

Inuyamaga's crouching body got lower and lower.

"Ahe, how is the current situation of the family?" Uesugi Yue suddenly asked.

Inuyama Kawa was overjoyed uncontrollably. Could it be that the head of the previous generations was planning to intervene? He was the lucky one who had seen the battle back then. If Time Zero was not too weird, Uesugi Koshi would be able to instantly kill Anger from the physical level alone. To such an extent, his strength far exceeds that of Yuan Zhisheng!
"It's terrible! Our current situation is very troublesome, the god is about to wake up, and the main force of the ghosts is still hiding in the dark and watching us all the time, and our unidentified enemy is hiding in Tokyo. The family said that they are in a life-and-death situation The crisis is not an exaggeration!" Inuyama Ka said in a deep voice.

"That's it." Uesugi Yue sighed, "It sounds worse than before."

"The guilty minister implores Your Majesty to help the family!" Inuyama Ka leaned over and knocked his forehead to the ground.

Uesugi frowned more, and lifted Inuyama He who was kneeling and kowtowing with one hand, and said dissatisfiedly: "What I hate the most is the time back then, don't do this kind of behavior that reminds me of the past."

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Inuyama He quickly replied respectfully.

Uesugi remained silent for a while: "Ahe, I'm not God, and I can't help the family turn the tide. I couldn't do it back then, and I can't do it now."

"No! With your strength, it is enough to sweep away all demons and monsters! As long as the gods do not appear, there will be almost no opponents in Tokyo!" Inuyama Ka said firmly.

Uesugi smiled wryly and said: "Ahe, thank you for looking at me so highly."

"This is not high opinion! It's the truth!" Inuyama He said excitedly, "You are the genuine emperor, the orthodox heir of the emperor's blood! When the [Black Sun] is burning, no one can stand in front of you!"

Uesugi became more silent, and slowly got up: "Ahe, I'm leaving."

"Where are you going?!" Inuyama He hurriedly got up and asked in fear.

"I'm going to find Anger. I'm here to confirm a fact with you. Now I have the answer." Uesugi said slowly, "Don't expect too much from me, and don't expect me to come to you Tell anyone, this is my last order to you."

Inuyama Kasa said in a shy voice, "...as ordered."

Uesugi scratched his head more: "Don't be too nervous, I'm still very grateful to you for taking care of me secretly all these years."

"Let's go, don't send it off." He waved his hand and walked out of the bedroom door.

Inuyama He watched him leave with a wry smile, then sighed and sat on the edge of the bed. He sat there blankly for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.

Until a phone rang suddenly.

Inuyama He glanced at it, frowned and connected the phone.

"what's up?"

"...What did you say? The head of the family has already arrived at the door?!"

He stood up in astonishment, walked quickly to the door of the bedroom, looked at the back of Uesugi leaving, and wanted to shout out, but his lips squirmed a few times, and finally did nothing.

Maybe...letting them meet was the right choice.

……

Uesugi Yue pulled the handle of the door of Inuyama's house, but saw a straight figure standing at the door.

"Senior came here to find the Patriarch of Dog Mountain?" Yuan Zhisheng stared at the man in front of him.

"...Don't get me wrong, I'm just here to say something special." Uesugi said in a hoarse voice after being silent for a moment.

"Goodbye?"

"I'm going back to France, to see the monastery where my mother stayed, and then hold the funeral there, and lie in the coffin and listen to them singing the requiem mass for me."

"You said 'back'? It seems that you have never regarded this place as your home." Yuan Zhisheng paused and said softly, "That's fine, Tokyo will not be very peaceful in the future, and we don't have any extra people to go Protect you, let's leave as soon as possible, have you bought the ticket?"

"I bought it decades ago. Air France's first-class ticket to Lyon, I paid a lot of money to Air France, so I can take this priority ticket to board the plane at any time." Uesugi Yue said lightly, "In addition, I It’s not enough to need your protection.”

Yuan Zhisheng nodded, his cigarette butt flickering: "Are you still rich? Take some money and go. You need money for the funeral and repairing your mother's tomb. It's a filial piety for the younger generation of the family."

"Don't bother me, I still have some money." Uesugi narrowed his eyes and said, "Compared to the last time we met, you seem to have awakened now?"

"Yes, thanks to you and Principal Angers for teaching."

"My teaching?"

"You were right last time. Royal blood is a cursed thing and should not exist in this world. We should be the last heirs of royal blood."

"So, are you ready to die?"

"Well, men are always dead, and the battlefield is the best destination for my generation."

"That's very good, as expected of... the elders."

"...the plane this morning?"

"almost."

"Do you want to send it?"

"Need not."

"it is good."

The words finally fell, and a cigarette was burned to the end.

Everyone's words are so simple and blunt, revealing estrangement and indifference, but they are trying their best to hide their panic and bewilderment.

Uesugi took off the cigarette butt and threw it on the ground and crushed it, and Yuan Zhisheng next to him handed over Qixing's cigarette case, Uesugi hesitated a little and took another one, Yuan Zhisheng lit it for him.

The two men with faces as hard as iron just stood guard at the door, no one spoke anymore, no one was left behind, they just smoked one after another, and the cigarette butts quickly piled up at the feet.

Uesugi looked up at the gradually brightening sky in the distance. The light of the sunrise was mild, and it was the rain clouds that had been dispersed for a long time. I don't know if it was the last reverberation before the storm.

He stared blankly for a long time. The streets in the distance were crowded with people, the morning news was played on a huge screen, and the buildings blended into the background of the sky without being obtrusive. He was surprised by the gentleness of Tokyo after the rain. I have lived in this city for more than 70 years, but I never knew that Tokyo under the rising sun can be so gentle, just like my mother in memory.

But at this moment, he thought of his chess master father.

It is said that the old chess master had been waiting for him to go to Japan to see him for the last time, but he still couldn't survive that winter.

In a sense, he is luckier than him, isn't he?
Yuan Zhisheng lowered his head and looked at his feet, one seven star after another.

He was thinking that the man around him came too late. When he was a child, he always hoped that a father would appear in his life, so that he and the young girl would not be so lonely and would not be bullied, but the man came too late Now, their brothers have grown up, and they have already turned against each other.

Maybe this is fate, and fate is always a hair's breadth away.

Yuan Zhisheng clearly accepted his fate, but he still couldn't help thinking, if all this had happened earlier, if this man who should be called his father had appeared in the world between him and Zhinv back then, if Back then he didn't insert the blade into the childish girl's heart...

Will everything be different?
At least he will have enough time to take Uesugi Yue to find a tavern, have a drink with each other, chat about the interesting things that happened in these years, report that the awards he won in school can fill the whole room, and then ask him Are you having a good time? The immature girl sat on the sidelines pouring wine for her elder brother and father...

It's a pity that if there is no if in life, there will be no turning back. Even if you look back desperately, time will not turn back.

So he can only use this short ten minutes to experience the feeling of his father standing beside him, and then move forward again.

That's enough, he doesn't have time to immerse himself in the past, he must finish this battle, for his own family, for all those who trust him, for this city that he doesn't love but lives with people he loves.

He was very happy to hear that Uesugi was going to France. He also wanted to go to France very much, but he probably had no chance. If a son couldn't do it, it would be a good story for a man who became a father to fulfill his son's dream.

When the last cigarette in the cigarette case burned to ashes, Yuan Zhisheng calmly said: "Bon voyage."

"Thank you."

It is still a speaking style that cherishes words like gold.

Yuan Zhisheng stood where he was, and the old man wearing a turban slowly walked down the steps, facing the rising sun and walking into the distance.

In the glow of the rising sun, Yuan Zhisheng squinted his eyes and stared at the long-lost sun in the sky, turned around silently, and walked into Inuyama's house, which was also doomed for him not to see the old man walking down the steps looking back.

Uesugi stood at the bottom of the steps, and the sea breeze from afar blew his white hair. He looked so old, yet so gentle, just like the city under the rising sun.

Many years ago, a man who fled from his family stood in a French port, looked back at his infant son, and finally embarked on the road back home.

Many years later, the man who abandoned the world and was abandoned by the world stood up again in this city he didn't love, looking back at the person he loved.
