Rebirth of the Golden Bastard

The history Ge Zilin knew was overthrown, and his face was filled with unconcealable surprise, even a little unbelievable.

Emperor Ren has been in power for more than [-] years and has always put benevolence first. How could he have thought that this emperor who was loved by the people would have done such a rebellious thing?If this is true, Emperor Ren's ascension to the throne would be dishonest, and even tampering with the imperial edict would be an unforgivable crime.

The cave was instantly quiet, and no one spoke first.Cang Qiao's arm held by Sikong Lian felt a little aching, he struggled but only got him a quick glance.

"Hi." He said suddenly, "You said these things by yourself. How can we believe one-sided words?"

Sikong Lian was displeased with his address, so he pulled him to his eyes and stared at him closely, "Call me dad."

Cang Qiao smiled innocently, "You suddenly told me that in the past twenty years or so, the father I called wasn't my father. I have to get used to it."

In fact, who is whose father has nothing to do with him.He secretly slandered in his heart, but his face remained calm.

Sikong Lian said coldly: "The ring on your body is the best evidence."

Cang Qiao was taken aback for a moment, and pulled up the back of the hand holding the ring.The man was so strong that he easily opened his fingers and took out the ring.

He rubbed his thumb lightly on the ring, and a gleam of excitement flashed in his eyes.

"Do you know what this is? This is my Yilan's heirloom jade seal."

Xia Yunqing frowned, "The Chuanguo Yuxi is naturally in the hands of Emperor Ren, how could it be this."

Si Konglian also ignored him, and said to himself: "The one in Emperor Ren's hand is a fake. This is my Yilan's real imperial jade seal, and it was also handed over to me by my father."

As he spoke, he suddenly pushed Cang Qiao into Fang Xing's arms, "Take care of your elder brother." After finishing speaking, he took out a square scarf from his sleeve, and then took out a towel.

He spread the scarf on the ground, blew on the torch, and began to sweep back and forth at the hollowed-out lower end of the ring.

Everyone looked at his actions without knowing why, but they saw that the ring seemed to have gradually changed under the burning of the flames.The hollow carvings turned red, and there was a strange smell in the air.

Seeing that it was almost done, Sikong Lian threw the torch aside, stretched out his hand to wipe the scorching metal, and quickly scraped off a layer of silver powder.He took out the ink pad from his pocket again, printed the hollow part of the ring on it, lifted it up, and printed it on the square scarf with his backhand.

After just a short while, both Xia Yunqing and Ge Zilin noticed something strange.The place where the ring was peeled off could vaguely see that it was a mark.Sikong Lian picked up the scarf, unfolded it under the light and said, "See for yourself with your own eyes."

Ge Zilin took a few steps forward, and when he saw clearly what was printed on the square scarf, his eyes suddenly widened!

——Zhenwu Yilan.

The four flamboyant characters are extremely clear.This is the seal carved by Yilan's founding emperor himself. It was later regarded as the jade seal of the country, and it is something that only the orthodox heirs will have.Zhen is the country name of the founding emperor, and it is not the first time Ge Zilin has seen this imprint. When the Emperor Ren sent a letter to the frontier to ask for troops, it was always printed with this imperial seal.

He had already seen it countless times, so how could he have misunderstood it.But if this is true, then wouldn’t the Emperor Ren’s hand be...

I was horrified, and even subconsciously wanted to veto it.Xia Yunqing suddenly took a step forward, still as immobile as a mountain, and said: "If this ring is really the Jade Seal of the Kingdom, I have a question to ask."

Sikong Lian held the ring and looked at it carefully under the light, obviously in a good mood, at this moment he didn't look at humanity and said: "Say."

"It's impossible for Emperor Ren and the Ninth Prince not to recognize what the real jade seal looks like. If so, why did they let this ring be kept by my eldest brother's side for so many years, and never thought of taking it away?"

Sikong Lian's expression froze, and he slowly turned his head to look at Xia Yunqing.The two sides looked at each other, stern as Sikong Lian, but he didn't frighten Xia Yunqing at all. After a while, he slowly said: "Maybe he thought I was dead, so he didn't attack."

Cang Qiao laughed, "The Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom is not an ordinary thing, and a fake is always a fake. The Emperor Ren knows where the real one is, so how could he not take it away?"

Si Konglian didn't speak for a long time, before he said for a while: "I can't see through that person's mind. But so what, since he didn't take it away, then I won. Now that the jade seal is in my hands, It's just a matter of flipping the world to me."

After finishing speaking, he suddenly looked at Cang Qiao, "I wanted to get the things and solve you, but I didn't want to get a surprise. My son, the person who knows the current affairs is Junjie, your father and I will soon own this world, and now Then you will be the crown prince, how about it? Go back to father's side."

Xia Yunqing's heart skipped a beat. They didn't know the truth before.Even though he guessed that Mr. Qi was a person of great status, he never thought of being related to the royal family.

Is there anyone who would not be tempted by the world in front of him?What's more, my elder brother was once regarded as an idiot by the world and laughed at for so long.

Cang Qiao also sighed in his heart at this time, the development process of the matter was far beyond what he thought.Prince?royal?Even if this Sikong Lian is not the emperor, he is still a prince.How ironic do you want to be?In the last life, I experienced the warmth and coldness of the world, being the lowest class of people, hungry and full every day, and never expected tomorrow.And now...

First, he was the eldest son of the largest Xia family in the capital, and he was favored by the emperor and prince; now he is even a stone's throw away from the position of being under one person and above ten thousand people.If this is what God wants to compensate him, he just wants to say that God doesn't know himself well enough.

"I refuse." Cang Qiao said every word, with a calm smile on his face: "I'm not interested in the royal family."

Grabbing his own Fang Xing for a while, he seemed a little taken aback.Even Sikong Lian frowned, "Why? Is the Xia Mansion comparable to the Golden Dragon Seat?"

It seems that Cang Qiao is his crown prince, or even his heir.He tempted: "When Dad sits on the throne, he will kill all the people who have bullied you, so as to relieve your anger, how about it?"

Cang Qiao frowned, "Then I'm afraid you will have to wash the capital with blood."

Si Konglian said: "Kill one to warn others, and in the future you will be the prince of Yilan, and no one will dare to do anything to you. You can do whatever you want. Dad has not been by your side for more than 20 years, and he will slowly compensate you in the future."

When he said this, he didn't seem to see Fang Xing behind Cang Qiao at all.As if it wasn't his own son.

Fang Xing's hand holding Cang Qiao was cold, and even trembled slightly, but he tried his best to hold it back.Cang Qiao sighed inwardly, feeling pity for Fang Xing when he was angry.

With such a father, Fang Xing's childhood must have been difficult.Now that he has done so much, he can't even get a compliment from his father.Cang Qiao shook her head, "I am the eldest son of Xia Mansion, and my surname is Xia. I have no plans to change it in my life. If you really want to find an heir, Fang Xing is your best choice."

Sikong Lian glanced coldly at Fang Xing, and snorted: "How can he compare with you? I know everything about you. You are so smart that even the other princes are no match for you. Zhang provoked, and helped Sikong Ding solve the crisis of Qingxia City being swallowed by the flood, my son should do this!"

That words, that tone, it seemed that Fang Xing couldn't match him with even one finger.Fang Xing looked down at his toes, his resentful expression gradually became indifferent, and finally became calm.

Cang Qiao knew that her future plans were useless, and before she came, she wanted to persuade Si Konglian to give up the rebellion with the idea of ​​showing emotion and reasoning, but she didn't realize how naive she was thinking until now.This person's resentment and persistence are stronger than anyone else's. It's not because of his own few words or in the name of his late mother that he can make him put down his sword.

He will not give up until the end.

Cang Qiao frowned, for a moment she couldn't think of a way to stop this person.Xia Yunqing said: "Seventh Prince, please allow me to say that Emperor Ren is deeply loved by the people now, and there are Ninth Princes and generals to help out, and the princes around him also have their own merits. Instead of turning against each other, it is better to return to Beijing with us. That's all."

Ge Zilin also nodded, "Yunqing is right, Seven...Your Highness, come back with us."

Sikong Lian sneered, "Go back to die? You all underestimate the emperor's thoughts. The emperor has always been ruthless. How could he let me live in this world when he could kill my family back then? He was guilty because he knew I am the destiny." As he spoke, he put the ring into his sleeve, and said: "As for Si Kongding and that General Zuo, don't worry, I have gifts for them both."

……

The Ninth Prince came to Qingxia City with the order of the imperial envoy, and the people of the city lined the road to greet him and proclaimed God Bless Yilan and bowed down all the way.

The battle of the prince should not be underestimated, and the carriages behind him are all ready.A school of luxury and solemnity, which makes people feel revered.Gu Xiao also came out to greet him with the government officials and soldiers, but Jiang Ji didn't have to come forward because he was seriously injured.

Sikong, Shen Liao, and Da Ma Jindao sat on the seat of the government office, and the magistrate knelt down below, not daring to lift his head.Compared with the eighth prince who is so close, this ninth prince is so extravagant that people dare not face him directly.

Sikong Shen asked everyone to stand up, and asked about the current situation of Qingxia City and the frontline information in detail.The magistrate was naturally endless, and Gu Xiao stood in the corner with his head bowed, his mind drifting a little.

Why did the emperor send him here at this time?I can't see you in a lifetime, maybe this feeling will fade away.Besides, who am I?He is just a book boy with a low status, if the young master hadn't risen up to save him on the spur of the moment, would he still be alive now?Or you can only smash your teeth and swallow your blood every day.

Thinking about it this way, I have already earned a few more years of life, so what else can I expect?

The voice in the front seemed faintly far away, Gu Xiao didn't understand these things, so it didn't matter whether he heard it or not.I don't know how long it took, the man's voice finally stopped, and the people around him left one by one, Gu Xiao was startled that Sikong Chen seemed to have said the word "poor", he hurriedly wanted to back down, but unexpectedly just turned around , was stopped by that person.

"Gu Xiao." Sikong Shen's voice was flat, "You stay."

"……Yes."

After everyone left, Nan Xun glanced at Gu Xiao, turned around and walked out of the gate, closing the door.The room fell silent for a while, Sikong Chen looked at the person who was far away from him, and his eyes sized up and down the other person.

It seems to have lost a lot of weight and looks even weaker.She still has that faint aura on her body, her black hair is tied up, her face is pretty and cute like a girl's, but the trace of sadness between her brows brings out this feeling with a different flavor.

"Come here." He put down the teacup in his hand and said softly.As if afraid to frighten that person.

Gu Xiao gritted her teeth and had no choice but to move forward slowly.After walking a few steps, the other party didn't make a sound, walked a few more steps, and finally reached a few steps in front of the other party. Sikong Shen suddenly got off the chair, and after a few steps, he stretched out his hand to pinch Gu Xiao's chin, forcing him to look up.

"Just don't want to see me that much? Huh?"

The mellow breath made people's heart ache, Gu Xiao looked away, "No... dare not..."

Sikong Chen narrowed his eyes, and after a while he gently stroked his soft cheek with his thumb, "I know you blame me."

This is an affirmative sentence, Sikong Shen's voice is a little softer, faint, making it impossible to guess his thoughts.

Gu Xiao's eyes slowly turned back, and his eyes met Sikong Shen's. He suddenly felt his nose sour, but he could only say one sentence, "I dare not..."

Sikong Shen's heart tightened, as if stuck in a thorn.His feelings for Gu Xiao are very subtle. When he didn't see him, he thought that the novelty would disappear with time, but now that he saw him, all he had with Gu Xiao appeared in his mind.Although it was purposeful and calculated everywhere, that time became precious.

Gu Xiao trusted her appearance, smiling like the brightest sunshine in midsummer.His innocence once diluted his inner ambition, but that was only for a moment. As soon as Gu Xiao left, the dull palace walls reminded him.He is the son of the heavenly family, and he was born unable to escape the vortex of strife.

The heart that was shaken again and again became firm again and again.He even thought that if Gu Xiao was loyal to him, he would ask him to come over from Cang Qiao when he took the position, and just follow him from now on.

It's just that this person didn't choose himself.

He didn't know Gu Xiao's wavering heart, but was stopped by Jiang Ji.Now Gu Xiaoxiao feels more guilty and sorry towards Cang Qiao. He doesn't blame the Ninth Prince for using him, but only blames himself for being stupid.

"I don't want to embarrass you either." Sikong Chen let go of him, stood with his hands behind his back, and said indifferently: "But the First Prince and other princes have placed eyeliners by your side, how can I give up this opportunity? I promised you not It will hurt Cang Qiao, but I will never break my promise."

Gu Xiao lowered his head, and became distracted again.Seeing that he was silent, Sikong Shen already knew that the relationship between the two would never return to the way it was before.

He suddenly felt regretful, and suddenly thought: If decades passed, when he was old and surrounded by children and grandchildren, would he have thought that there was such a handsome young man who trusted him with all his heart, but was let down by him? Woolen cloth?Will I regret it?

My heart moved slightly, looking at the drooping eyebrows and long eyelashes.There was a hint of bewilderment on the innocent face.He suddenly pulled Gu Xiaohuai into his arms, lowered his head and kissed her.

Gu Xiao was startled, and subconsciously wanted to escape, but after such a delay, before Sikong Shen kissed her, someone knocked on the door suddenly.

"Little Gu!"

Jiang Ji appeared at the door sweating profusely with a cane on his back, next to Nan Xun who stretched out his hand to stop him.

Sikong Shen let go of the person in his arms in an instant, with an unhappy expression on his face, "How courageous!"

Jiang Ji obviously saw the scene just now, he was taken aback for a moment, but he quickly smiled and said: "I'm sorry, Ninth Prince, I should change my medicine but I haven't been able to find Mrs. Gu. I heard that he is here with you. I was in a hurry to find it."

Nan Xun said angrily: "Presumptuous! You just changed the medicine, so why can't you ask others for help!"

Jiang Ji said innocently: "No, who likes to be looked at by strangers every day? Besides, Gu Xiao is used to it, and my injury can't be delayed. If there is an old illness in the future, who should I talk to for reasoning? The Ninth Prince cares about the common people, so you won't make things difficult for me, right?"

These words made Sikong Chen applaud again, Sikong Shen snorted coldly, and said: "You guys step back."

Gu Xiao bowed his head in salute, turned around and went out the door without looking back.Jiang Ji watched him walk past him, his eyes darkened, then he turned his head to salute and say goodbye to the Ninth Prince, then turned and left.

When leaving, he glanced back at the man in the lobby.The brocade clothes are luxurious, and the face is calm, faintly bearing the appearance of an emperor.The door slowly closed, as if the two worlds were suddenly separated.

Jiang Ji sighed inwardly, turned his head to chase Gu Xiao who was walking in front, and said in his heart: You already have the power over the world, why bother to guard the end of the world.
