Heaven

"What did you say?!"

Jing Mingquan looked into Ji Kongqing's dazed eyes for a moment, and couldn't make up his mind whether to tell him the cause of Jing Mingrui's death.If he doesn't know anything...

But he won't know about Fifth Brother's feelings for him.

Jing Mingquan gritted his teeth, and finally decided to speak with difficulty: "Fifth brother's body is somewhat different from that of ordinary people. How should I put it, his body should be much stronger than ordinary people.

His... mother is almost No. 1 in the current world, and he inherited most of her imprint and abilities, so he was completely different from ordinary people when he was born.

He's so powerful that... um... how should I put it?

Brother Ji, you are also a descendant of heaven and man, you should know that children with the blood of heaven and man will develop wisdom earlier than ordinary people, and the more engravings, the more obvious it will be.And Fifth Brother can say that he has never experienced the so-called childhood since he was born, and his mind has been almost the same from the beginning as it is now.

You can probably appreciate how strong his blood is.

Because his ability surpasses that of ordinary people, but he was forced to be trapped in a young body, Fifth Brother showed a very violent side at a very young age.But one day his temperament suddenly became much milder, and I found out later that it was because he found a twin star that is rarely seen in the heaven and earth..."

Ji Kongqing was taken aback, was that when they first established the induction?

Jing Mingquan licked his lips, and continued: "At that time, his twin star was quite weak. In order to save him, Fifth Brother established a one-third twin star contract with him."

"The contract between two stars?" Ji Kongqing repeated in doubt.

"The contract of twin stars is a contract that can only be established between twin stars to share life and power. When the contract is established, it will bring huge benefits to both parties. Fifth brother used this contract to save his twin star's life. .

The so-called Gemini is actually an extremely rare fate, but if nothing is done, it will not have any impact on the two parties except for one more object that can be telepathically sensed.

But the problem is that Fifth Brother established the contract in a hurry..."

"What's wrong with this contract?" Ji Kongqing frowned. Was it because of Ming Rui that he survived the catastrophe because of the strange poison in his body?

"The contract itself has no side effects. Another name for the double-star contract is the eternal lover's oath. Once it is made, the souls of the two people will be entangled forever. This contract must be completed in three parts. When the first step is carried out, There is still hope to forcibly cancel it. But later, Fifth Brother established a second contract with his Gemini..."

Was it when you helped me escape from that terrible prison in Wei?Ji Kongqing almost immediately thought of the time when Jing Mingrui and him formed a contract for the second time.

"After the second contract is completed, both parties' bodies will be improved to a certain extent. After this step is completed, if one party violates the oath, both parties will suffer extremely strong backlash."

"Breaching the contract means...?" Ji Kongqing suddenly had a terrible guess in his heart.

Jing Mingquan smiled wryly: "Since it is an eternal couple's oath, the so-called breach of contract of course means that one party fell in love with someone else."

"...!" Ji Kongqing's heart tightened for a while.

"Fifth brother probably had a premonition at that time..." Jing Mingquan paused, "In retrospect, he was restless for several days before that. But the third contract must be established on the night of the full moon. , I don’t know why Wu Ge suddenly fell ill on the eve of the full moon.

Blood was oozing from every pore in his body, and his appearance at that time was truly terrifying.I only found out later that his twin star bond was broken. In order not to affect his twin star, he forcibly concentrated all the backlash on himself! "

At this time, Ji Kongqing's face was extremely pale. He remembered the phone call Jing Mingrui had before they cut off contact many years ago. Mingrui said that the important thing to tell him before the Mid-Autumn Festival should be...

Ji Kongqing's bitten lower lip was bleeding out, but he didn't notice it at all.

"At that time, Brother Wu's situation was very critical, and it could be said that he was on the verge of life and death. The emperor had to take him back to his mother himself. Because every mark on his body was eroding his body, in desperation, his mother I had no choice but to forge the Liquan gun with my own hands, and sealed all the engravings of the fifth brother on the gun.

And because he was hurt by love, he had to shut down his emotions in this aspect, which is why Brother Wu has been ignorant of this matter for many years.

I didn't know the reason behind it at the time. I only knew that Fifth Brother had a serious illness and was taken away for more than a year before returning.He seems to be a little different from before, and he doesn't drink anymore.

Later, when everyone grew up, I still wondered why the fifth brother was so confused, and I was always worried that he would not find someone to spend this life with.Later... Later, when you appeared, I was happy for a long time, but I didn't expect... I didn't expect..."

"I didn't expect that I was the one who established the contract with Ming Rui before?" Ji Kongqing murmured.

"That's right. Because of your appearance, Fifth Brother, who could never be emotionally moved, fell in love with you for the second time." Jing Mingquan sighed, "I only found out the reason later, so I fell in love with you for a while. Not very... not very friendly."

Ji Kongqing nodded. He knew that the friendship between the two brothers was extraordinary, so he could understand how he felt when he saw a person who almost killed his brother reappear in front of his brother.

"Alas...the problem is that while Fifth Brother accepted you, the seal on his body also became loose." Jing Mingquan sighed, sighing with emotion, "Liquan Spear is his half body, his body must From time to time it was the strength of the engraving that kept him steady, but after the seal loosened, the engraving on the Leaking Spear began to corrode his body again.

The worst thing is that he has overdrawn his body power many times, and even used the forbidden technique of heaven and man, so that his own power can't resist the erosion of the engraving at all.

This formed a deadlock, he couldn't stay too far away from the Liquan Spear, but even holding the Liquan Spear his body would become weaker and weaker..."

"Is it impossible to think about it?" Ji Kongqing remembered that every time Jing Mingrui's overdrawn power was almost related to himself, his trembling voice was full of despair.

"I originally wanted to persuade Fifth Brother to seal up his feelings again. It's better to have no one to accompany you than to lose your life. Besides, even if he treats you colder, you may not leave him..." Jing Mingquan glanced apologetically Ji Kongqing, "But fifth brother insisted on refusing, he said he has a way...

I also didn't expect that this time he had overdrawn his strength again, and it was just... just like that..." Jing Mingquan's eyes suddenly turned red.

"..."

"Brother Ji, I didn't want to tell you. But...but I want to let you at least understand what Brother Fifth thinks of you!"

"..."

"Brother Ji, you... are you okay?"

"..."

In the autumn of 1273 in the Tianren calendar, Emperor Jing Mingrui of Chu announced that he was recuperating from a serious injury, and the government was temporarily replaced by Jing Mingya, king of Danyang.

On October [-]th, the court meeting——

"A country cannot be without a king for a day, I request that a new king be established quickly." Jing Mingfei's words immediately caused an uproar in the hall.He had only finished contemplating behind closed doors half a year ago, and returned to the court. Jing Mingrui gave him an errand to receive envoys from various countries.

Jing Mingya raised her brows: "New Monarch? Your Majesty is currently recuperating in Xihe Palace. Don't you think it's a bit treasonous to say this?"

"Healing?" Jing Mingfei took a rare look at his slumped state, and stared at Jing Mingya with ease and fearlessness, "I'm afraid that only His Majesty's armor is left in Xihe Palace now!"

He looked around and said loudly: "Your Majesty died in the Battle of Julu as early as two months ago, but you didn't report it. Are you trying to usurp the throne?"

There was a discussion in the hall immediately.

Rumors that Emperor Chu had long passed away to heaven had been spread for a long time, and few people believed it at first.But Jing Mingrui has not appeared in front of people for several months, and even many ministers can't help but start to have some doubts.It's just that this matter is so important that no one dares to speak out easily in court.

"Oh? You said that His Majesty has passed away long ago, but what evidence do you have?" Jing Mingya said unhurriedly.

"Of course there is evidence." Jing Mingfei puffed his chest out, "The guards Zhang Cheng and Liao Ying of Xihe Palace can testify that General Ji Kongqing is the only one in the palace who wipes His Majesty's armor day and night!" He remembered hearing The guard said Ji Kongqing was heartbroken, hoping that after inheriting the Datong, he could take care of Qing'er instead of the fifth emperor...

"Then what if His Majesty recuperates in other places?" Jing Mingya asked with great interest, "Can it be concluded that he is not alive just because he is not in his bedroom?"

Jing Mingfei said loudly: "Hmph, as long as the regent can invite His Majesty to let me meet later, I can let the regent handle it!"

After a pause for a while, Jing Mingya suddenly laughed softly: "The Fourth Emperor is indeed well prepared! You said you want to establish a new monarch, who do you want to establish? Could it be yourself?"

"That's right, the so-called doing my part." Seeing that he no longer refuted his inferences about Jing Mingrui's life and death, Jing Mingfei immediately felt relieved, "King Zhennan and King Danyang already have titles, so naturally they are not among the candidates. The sixth brother is not in." It is also impossible for the imperial jade certificate to inherit the great line, so I have to take on this important task right now."

"You're talking nonsense! Who said I wasn't included in the Jade Document?" Jing Mingquan said angrily.

Jing Mingfei sneered and said, "Whether it's in the jade document or not, you just need to take out the jade document from the ancestral temple and look at it."

"There's no need to ask for the jade certificate." Jing Mingya sighed, "I said, two of the guards guarding the ancestral temple suddenly fell ill and died a few days ago. It turns out that it was you, the Fourth Emperor, who tormented you!"

Annoyance flashed across Jing Mingfei's face, but he quickly suppressed it.He snorted coldly as if he had the winning ticket in his hands: "Whether I have cheated on the jade document or not, you will know after taking it out for identification. Besides, all the ministers know that the sixth emperor did not receive a gift from his father when he was 12 years old." This jade pendant is a testament to Father’s will. I intend to take over the position, not for my personal gain or loss, but because I can’t bear to see some people occupying the phoenix’s nest and waiting for an opportunity to steal the country!”

Jing Mingquan's face became more angry, and his eyes almost burst into flames, but Jing Mingya coughed lightly, and stopped his speech with his eyes.

Jing Mingya said leisurely: "In that case, you are really the only one left to choose, Fourth Emperor Brother."

"It's a pity..." He blew on his nails, and looked at Jing Mingfei with a half-smile, "It's a pity you still missed a move!"

A gleam flashed in his eyes.
