Gao Chi of the Ming River

Look up at the pale yellow and light blue sky.

Then look down at the red land beneath your feet.

Is he dead... or is he dreaming? ? ?

This road is really familiar...

Has he been here? ?

Rubbing his chin, he tilted his head to think for a while, frowned in worry, and after a while, sighed.

Why can't he remember anything?

Who is he?

How did you come to this strange place?

Looking at it again, it seems that there is no end, it is quiet, and there is only his way.

never mind.Forget it if you can’t remember!

With his hands behind his back, he walked forward slowly.

It's just...why does this heart seem to feel that there is something that must never be forgotten?

what is it then?

While shaking his head, he walked slowly forward.

Not far ahead is a small forest.

***********

Roaring in a hoarse voice, he commanded the soldiers on the city wall to knock down the Southern Army that was climbing up continuously.

Zhou Wang took advantage of the gap to wipe his sweat and sighed.

Isn't he a hostage?

Why did he, a hostage, come to help Beiping defend the city! ?

"Thank you, Lord Zhou!" Dao Yan cupped his hands deeply.

King Zhou waved his hand and smiled heartily, "Daoyan! Don't do this! It's nothing!"

Dao Yan smiled wryly, "If it wasn't for the prince, you have been in Beiping for the past few days..."

How can he, the second young master and the third young master alone deal with Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan?

Nanjing actually transferred Li Jinglong back and sent Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan...

It seems that Zhang Shi should have done something before his death, right?

Thinking of the prince who has been closed in the mansion so far, Dao Yan also admired Zhang Shi more in his heart. He gave up his own life and Zhang Rongyue's life, not only assassinated the prince, but also severely hit King Yan. Is this stone Also expected? ?

Then he smiled wryly and shook his head, how is that possible?

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it... King Yan... is so affectionate...

"Master, what do you think we should do now?" King Zhou said abruptly.

Dao Yan came back to his senses, looked at King Zhou, and saw King Zhou's serious face.

"Master has always been very wise, is there a way...to make my fourth brother return to normal?"

Dao Yan was startled, then thought deeply for a while, then slowly shook his head, "If Lord Zhou is talking about returning to his previous appearance, then... probably impossible..."

King Zhou frowned immediately.

"But...you don't have to worry, Prince Zhou, you won't leave Beiping Mansion alone..." Dao Yan said in a low voice.

King Zhou frowned, "I know fourth brother's temper, he is determined not to leave this mess behind, but..." King Zhou hesitated to speak, and said annoyedly, "It's just that it's better to die than that. What an annoyance!"

Dao Yan was silent.

King Zhou turned his head and stared irritably, "Master! You have been in Beiping for so many years, why...don't you stop me?!"

They are father and son.

How can there be such a relationship between father and son?

Why... why don't you stop it?

If you stop it...it won't be like this...isn't it?

Dao Yan lowered his eyes, and after a long while, he opened his mouth bitterly, "My Lord Zhou...the poor monk didn't notice it before, and when the poor monk found out...it was too late..." After a pause, he smiled wryly and shook his head, "Even if the poor monk The monk can detect it soon, Lord Zhou, do you think the poor monk can stop it?"

King Zhou was taken aback for a moment, then bowed his head and remained silent.

"Prince Zhou...Since ancient times, natural disasters have been prevented, love is deep and incomprehensible, and poor monks can't do anything..."

King Zhou was startled, and then raised his head and smiled helplessly, "I'm the one who is stupid, master, don't mind."

"The prince of Zhou is also worried about the prince, how can the poor monk care..."

***********

Zhu Gaoxu was covered in blood, and walked into the yard with an indifferent face.

In the yard, it was still eerily quiet.

There is no hurrying back and forth of servants and maidservants.

Only Zhiqin in plain clothes stood in the middle of the yard, crying.

When Zhiqin heard the sound of footsteps, she turned her head hastily, and saw that Zhu Zhugaoxu's clothes were already stained red with blood, and there was still a wound on his arm that was bleeding non-stop.

His expression changed, he hurried over and said in a low voice, "Second Young Master, you are injured!"

Zhu Gaoxu just stared at the closed door, and asked indifferently, "The prince hasn't come out yet?"

Zhiqin tied the wound on Zhu Gaoxu's arm with a handkerchief, and responded in a low voice, "The prince didn't come out. Doctor Wu went in several times today. The prince didn't eat, but he drank the medicinal soup made by doctor Wu. Said, the lord has started to read the letter today, and also, the lord has met with General Zhu today."

Zhu Gaoxu's indifferent expression relaxed slightly.

At this time, the closed door opened.

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help opening his eyes wide, but he saw Imperial Physician Wu walking out.

A trace of disappointment flashed in Zhu Gaoxu's eyes.

Physician Wu looked at Zhu Gaoxu, but nodded slightly, "Second young master, my lord invites you in."

Zhu Gaoxu was taken aback.

*************

He smiled and looked at the store that suddenly appeared in front of him.

The plaque hanging high reads: Come to a bowl of Mengpo soup

Yay...that's an interesting name.

"what?"

Suddenly there was a sound of astonishment, "Chi'er! Why are you here?!"

He followed the prestige and saw a beautiful woman standing at the door, staring at him in astonishment and disbelief.

He blinked, smiled gently, and asked, "Does this lady know me?"

The woman's complexion changed, and she ran over in a hurry, grabbed his wrist, and asked eagerly, "Chi'er! Have you forgotten?"

He nodded with a smile, "Ah. Yes. I forgot."

The woman was dumbfounded, and then asked eagerly, "You...why did you forget?! You can't be in this place!"

He was stunned, and looked at the woman in confusion, "I'm dead, if I don't come to this place, where should I go?"

The woman looked at him blankly, and then her eyes began to fill with tears, and she murmured, "How can it be? Chi'er, you are still so young... If you are dead, what will your father and king do? No! The mother and concubine will not let you You are dead!"

He was stunned, then frowned, and raised his hand to touch his chest. Why... when he heard the word father, did his heart ache?

************

Zhu Gaoxu entered the room.

In the still dark room, there was only one night pearl hanging on the bedpost.

Zhu Gaoxu closed the door silently, turned around and looked at the man sitting beside the bed, flipping through letters in his hand.

The man stared at the letter with both eyes, very focused, but the former sharp eyes seemed to be deprived of the light at this time, leaving only the endless deep darkness, and emptiness.

Still wearing that armor, the blood has not been washed.The chin has grown a lot of beard.

Tired and haggard are not enough words to describe this man.

There is no breath, the whole body exudes a dead air, like a boy lying on the bed, has it started to decay?

But that boy... is still fine. Although he has no breath, the boy just has no breath, and he hasn't decayed yet, but the man in front of him has already made people feel that faint smell of decay...

Couldn't help clenching his fists.Zhu Gaoxu had deep hatred and anger in his heart.

"Thank you for your hard work these past few days." In the frighteningly quiet room, a faint voice sounded.

Zhu Gaoxu came back to his senses, looked at the man who put down the letter and stared at him, and murmured, "Father..."

"Hate me, or your elder brother?" The man stared at him and asked abruptly.

Zhu Gaoxu froze, then pursed his lips tightly and lowered his eyes.

"Hate it if you want." The man said lightly, paused, and then said again, "If this can make you and Gao Sui more comfortable..."

Zhu Gaoxu just bit his lip tightly.

The man turned his head and looked at the young man lying beside him. His dark eyes were slightly bright, and he raised his hand to caress the young man's cheek softly. The man whispered, "When this matter is over, I will Leave with your big brother..."

Zhu Gaoxu was startled, then raised his head in disbelief, staring at the man.

The man said lightly, "Of course, I will leave after I have arranged everything."

"Then what about me and Gao Sui?!" Zhu Gaoxu gritted his teeth, desperately suppressing the anger in his heart.

The man turned his head and looked at Zhu Gaoxu silently.

"To you! What are I and Gao Sui?!" Zhu Gaoxu yelled, and after the yelling, he felt sour in front of his eyes.

Three days!

It's been three days!

He has been desperately killing the enemy, and has been desperately trying to make himself forget, the coffin of the mother and concubine in the mourning hall of the palace, the elder brother who always closes his eyes in the Songzhu courtyard, and the living but dead man in front of him. Father!

And... on that day, his father... actually treated his elder brother...

The suppressed anger in my heart and the pain that has nowhere to vent can no longer be suppressed!

"Coward! You are a coward!! Are you still my father?! Brother is gone! Are you going to abandon your ambition?! Don't you want this world?! Coward!!"

"In the end... what are Gao Sui and me to you?! Are they just dispensable people?! Bastards!!"

……

He roared, and wanted to step forward and grab the man's collar, but found that his eyes were sore and his vision was blurred.

I just saw the man walking towards me slowly.

"You and Gao Sui are my sons. I, Zhu Di, are the only two sons left in this world." The man said calmly.

Zhu Gaoxu still looked at the man in a daze, and after a while, he cried, "Then don't leave us behind!"

The man just raised his hand slowly and stroked Zhu Gaoxu's head slowly, without saying a word.

"We no longer have a concubine mother, no elder brother... Father...we... can't do without you anymore..." Zhu Gaoxu finally burst into tears.

Just like that year, when he and Gao Sui were attacked by wild wolves, he cried...

And outside the closed door...

Holding the spear in his hand, Zhu Gaosui, half of his body stained with blood, fell to the floor. After a long time, he held the spear, his shoulders trembled, and his low sobs sounded like choking...

No one noticed that the cold boy's fingers moved slightly on the bed.

**********

He looked blankly at the woman pulling him to run desperately.

"Um... Excuse me... Madam, if you want to kiss each other, will you let me go?" He asked cautiously.

The woman staggered slightly, then turned her head, and said sternly, "Shut up! I'm your concubine! I'm your mother!" The last four words sounded like gnashing of teeth.

He scratched his head, wanting to say something, that's what you said...

But seeing that the woman seemed to be glaring angrily, she obediently shut up.

In fact, although they were running desperately, it was strange that he didn't feel tired at all, his body was so light.

The woman pulled him and finally ran to a three-way intersection.

He looked around curiously, it was so quiet.Still no one.

When he was about to ask the woman what this place was, the woman stared at him seriously and said, "Chi'er, do you still remember your father?"

He froze for a moment, then frowned, touched his chest, and it hurt again...

The woman took a deep breath, and after a while, sighed again, "Your father is...very important to you, right?"

He froze.

The woman poked his chest, "It will hurt, won't it?"

He nodded slowly.

It hurts, it hurts...

"This is Huangquan Road, every soul that comes, unless you meet that shop and drink Mengpo soup, can you not forget your past..." The woman said seriously, "When the concubine mother comes, she will meet the old lady. When I went to that store, the owner gave my concubine a bowl of Mengpo soup, and said, I must not forget, because you need me. Now I know that you have not escaped doom, but, fortunately, you have a unicorn on your body Therefore, you can go back. Chi'er, after you go back, please remember and cherish it."

He nodded foolishly, although he was not very clear...but he tried his best to remember it.

The woman smiled slowly again, raised her hand to touch his face, and said softly, "Chi'er, I don't regret it, I am really happy to have you as my concubine's son, tell Gao Xu and Gao Sui , Mother Concubine is very happy to have you as the son of Mother Concubine..."

He stared blankly at the woman, feeling warm in his heart.

Then... suddenly there was a round hole shining with white light in the center of the three-way intersection.

He turned his head to look, suddenly there was a strong push from behind, he staggered and fell into the round hole, turned his head hard, but saw the woman waving and smiling at him.

He couldn't help murmuring, "Mother Concubine..."
