I brought five birds to eat and drink with my girlfriends in ancient times

Chapter 209: Do you want to kill your enemy’s son?

Xiaojiu listened silently to the memories of his master Cong Sheng.

Over the past three years, the master has been very good to him, just like his other fellow apprentices, and is like a brother and a father.

Only he could see through the loneliness in his master's eyes and the sadness in his heart. Like him, he was also such a person.

Letting the master tell all the past events can also help him let go. After all, time has passed, the people he cherishes are no longer here, and the past has long since disappeared.

"Fu'er was in the deep palace, and I had no chance to meet her. Even letters could not be sent out, so the fact that she could send a letter to the Zhen'an Marquis' Mansion was because the emperor deliberately let it out.

Because she was no longer useful to the emperor, but the emperor was still afraid of Chu Fan, so he did not issue an edict to depose Fu'er.

But Chu Fan is a tough guy, with a dandy personality and he won't be persuaded by anything. Fu'er has the same personality, and the emperor has long lost his patience with Fu'er.

When the news of her drowning in the lotus pond came out, it was the emperor who took action against her. It's a pity that I don't have the ability to enter the palace.

I couldn’t even see her for the last time…”

Cong Sheng actually sobbed and cried at the end. He was half a century old, but he cried like a child. How much love did he have for this Fu'er back then! It was a pity that a guard and a legitimate daughter were destined to be apart in life.

Wait, wasn't it the Empress who had a relationship with the Chu family? The Empress' name seemed to be Fu'er. Back then, my mother often said that Empress Chu was kind and treated all the concubines very well.

The only person who drowned in the lotus pond that displeased my father was the Empress. At that time, the Crown Prince was also disliked by my father.

It turned out that the life of the Crown Prince's mother was so tortuous and miserable. He hated the Crown Prince for being so paranoid. The Queen, who was such a loyal and righteous person, was eventually killed by her closest partner. His father was the most vicious person.

Is the throne so important? If I kill everyone around me, I will be at ease. What's wrong with my mother? How could my father do this?

That’s right. My father had three thousand beauties in the harem. It only mattered if a few women died. So what if a few hundred died? As long as we give some benefits to the families behind the women, we can pretend that nothing had happened.

"Master, the Queen is a very kind person. She is so gentle to everyone. I like her the most.

The prince is also very good to me. He is different from other brothers in that he never says I am fat or ugly, and he often buys me delicious food. "

"Xiao Jiu, you...you are from the palace? You are?"

Cong Sheng sat up straight in surprise, staring at Xiao Jiu with red eyes.

"Your enemy's son, do you want revenge?"

"That's wrong. Fu'er also has a son. He's also the son of my enemy. Am I going to kill him too? I can't protect him in time.

Which son of your enemy are you? What is your real name? Is he good to you? I am a fool to ask, if he was good to you, you would not have almost met the King of Hell back then. "

"Ninth, named Xun, with the courtesy name Yunteng. I also want revenge for my mother, but I cannot kill my father. I just want him to suffer retribution and live a life worse than death..."

"You are right. I will never be able to avenge her in this lifetime. It is not easy to assassinate him. If I really kill him, Fu'er's child will hate me! Let him suffer retribution and torture. That is the best way to take revenge.

I am not a saint. I cannot help but feel hatred. I cannot do the thing of reconciling a feud rather than creating one. I cannot accept the cycle of revenge. I will not let Fu'er die in vain.

So I have lived until now because I am afraid that if I die without avenging her, I will not be able to face her."

"There will be a chance, Master. It's going to rain soon. Let's go back!"

"That's fine, but I'm old and my legs and feet are a little sore."

Cong Sheng casually wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve and staggered a few steps.

"Come up!"

Seeing that his master was only less than fifty years old but his hair was already completely white, Xiao Jiu smiled faintly and squatted down.

Cong Sheng jumped onto Xiaojiu's back without any hesitation, holding a dead branch and directing the direction of going down the mountain.

Back to the Qiyao Valley at the foot of the mountain, the sun is rising, surrounded by high mountains, small bridges and flowing water, and a waterfall in the distance is like a still painting. The scenery is beautiful, with birds singing and flowers blooming. It is a real paradise.

The fellow disciples have gradually gotten up and are busy, each doing their own job.

When they saw their master being carried down on his back, they all rushed up nervously to ask the reason. Cong Sheng was surrounded by the crowd, his beard flying with joy.

Knowing that the master was testing his fellow apprentice's skills, they all went about their business with peace of mind.

Cong Sheng returned to the house and took out a package from the shabby wooden box under the bed.

The package is wrapped in animal skin, which is moisture-proof. No color can be seen on the surface of the animal skin. It must be because it is often touched, and the surface of the skin is very shiny.

The animal skin was untied to reveal a package made of pink muslin embroidered with hibiscus flowers.

Cong Sheng stopped and saw the familiar hibiscus flower, which reminded him of Chu Fu's hibiscus-like smile.

This is her favorite flower. She likes to use hibiscus patterns on everything she uses, the clothes she wears, and the jewelry she wears.

With trembling hands, he still opened up the dusty memories of the past twenty years...

There were three books in the package, one on internal power, one on boxing, and one on swordsmanship. Cong Sheng had long lost interest in these martial arts secrets.

There is also a letter below the book: From Brother Sheng.

When he saw this line of familiar words, his eyes became hot. He picked up the letter, paused, and then opened it and took out the letter.

Just as he took out the letter, something fell out along with the letter. It turned out to be a jade pendant.

The jade pendant is a double-sided one side is carved with a lotus flower and the other side is carved with bamboo, which is the upper half of the Chinese character “笙” (sheng).

Although the carving is immature, it is obvious that it was done with great care and is polished very smoothly.

This is a concentric pendant.

A woman's whole heart for a man.

Cong Sheng's eyes were blurred by tears. He thought she was still young, so he never dared to reveal any love to her because he was not worthy of her. But he didn't expect that she also had feelings for him.

Unfolding the letter, the beautiful handwriting came into view, and the ink seemed to have her unique fragrance. She liked to add orange flavor to the paint.

Brother Sheng:

I'm getting married.

But I was afraid, afraid that the man I had only met a few times would become my husband.

But we are all powerless. The emperor's order is hard to disobey. For the Chu family, for my father and brother, I cannot disobey the order.

How I wish I could leave this world with you, Brother Sheng, and go to a paradise to live our ordinary lives.

But I have no choice. I have liked you for a long time, and I know you like me too, but our identities destined us to not be together.

This is the martial arts secret book that I spent a lot of effort to find for you. I know that you are looking for these martial arts books everywhere in order to protect me.

And there is this jade pendant. This jade keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer. It took me half a year to carve it. I give it to you as a token of my gratitude for Brother Sheng's protection of me over the years.

Now that I have joined the royal family, we will never have the chance to meet again. I will try to adapt, I will learn to be brave, and I will live well.

Brother Sheng, you are not a child anymore. I have already freed you from slavery. Leave the Chu family, find a wife, have children, and live a good life!

Don't worry about me.
