Chapter 215 Brother, let me bring my godfather home
At that moment, time seemed to slow down. The arrow stained with dark blue liquid slowly flew to General Shen's back. The scenes he had experienced in the past few years passed by before his eyes like a passing show. Shen Mingjue's head made a buzzing sound, and he seemed to hear someone talking to him.
"Ming Jue? What a good name. It represents wisdom, intelligence, firmness and courage. You will never make a foolish decision in your life."
"I am your father, and I am here to take you home."
"There's a lotus pond in the backyard, which is my favorite place. It's very close to where you live."
"Juer, are you so worried? I'm still very healthy!"
"Jue'er, Jue'er, Daddy is here to see you."
"Jue'er, where did you go? Why did you come back so late?"
……
"Having said so much, I am a little thirsty. Why don't you come with me to drink some water?"
Perhaps it was the emotional breakdown that caused his body to burst out with amazing strength. Shen Mingjue staggered and knelt beside Shen Furong, who had fallen off his horse, and hugged him into his arms: "Dad? Dad? How are you, huh?"
General Shen's face revealed endless dejection. He had been on the frontier for decades and had escaped death countless times. Now it was finally time for him to be taken away by the King of Hell. General Shen reached out to touch his son's cheek, but his strength faded too quickly.
Shen Mingjue put the man's hand on his cheek, tears streaming down his face, "Dad, don't scare me... You can't leave, you can't leave!"
"Juer... cough cough," Gulan was still too powerful. In the blink of an eye, General Shen had already vomited blue-black blood. "Listen to me, our family has several courtyards outside the capital, which I left for you and Mingyuan, and several banks. In my room, there are keys and land deeds in the box beside the bed... In my life, I still haven't been a good father. I should have picked you up earlier. And Mingyuan, I shouldn't have let him bully you. It's my fault..."
Shen Mingjue's body was trembling, his heart was about to break in pain, "I don't blame you, I have never blamed you..."
Perhaps he was about to run out of energy, General Shen took a few deep breaths and then stopped. "Do you know why I planted lotus in the General's Mansion? You can ask Xue when you go back... ahem, you'll know. I was depressed for a while after Mingyuan's mother died, and it was he who enlightened me and helped me get out of it..."
Shen Mingjue didn't know who General Shen was talking about, but he just took note of it secretly. He knew that what his father was saying now were his last words, so he didn't interrupt him anymore.
"Go back and tell Mingyuan that he and Lou Xu should find a time to get married. I agree, and I also hope that they can live together forever... And you, Jue'er, I have already found a marriage for you to the best of my ability. He is a prince, and he may not be able to decide what will happen after he returns to the capital. I hope you will not blame him, and support the emperor in the future, whether you are leading troops in battle or serving in the court, and be a good official who deserves the people..."
When General Shen said this, it seemed as if he had run out of breath. He widened his eyes and blue-black blood flowed out of his eye sockets, making his entire face dirty.
"Father?" Shen Mingjue wiped his tears, and General Shen's hand slipped from his palm. The person in front of him was gone.
"Father!!!" Shen Mingjue hugged him and cried loudly. He used his sleeve to wipe the blood off Shen Furong's face, but the more he wiped, the dirtier it became. The temperature of the body in his arms dropped rapidly. He had been at the border for four years and had seen many dead people, but had never experienced anything like this. He was at a loss, and a feeling of panic always lingered in his heart.
He used his hand to feel General Shen's breath and confirmed that his father was really dead.
"what!!!"
It felt like there was a void in his heart. Knasu dug out his heart, tore it in half and then filled it back in, making Shen Mingjue's blood run cold.
The commotion here finally attracted Xue Zhong's attention.
He dodged the groups of Scythians and rushed over here.
"Godfather!" Xue Zhong shouted, and then knelt beside General Shen's body. When he reached out his hand, all he felt was blue blood.
He glared at Knasu who was holding a gun in the distance.
Shen Mingjue was already in a daze, but Xue Zhong was still sober. He had to take General Shen's body back to the capital.
Kenasu stood on a high place, leaning over to look at this farce. He was the one who killed his father to seize the throne, and he did not have such deep feelings for Shen Mingjue and Shen Furong, so he did not understand what the huge sorrow was, and he just felt puzzled.
Didn't he avenge the beauty? Why was he so sad? It was as if he had lost his soul? Knasu didn't understand.
Xue Zhong picked up General Shen, but one of General Shen's hands was still held by Shen Mingjue.
He said bitterly: "Brother, let me bring my godfather home."
Only then did Shen Mingjue let go.
Seeing that the man was dead and the biggest threat to Da Qi had disappeared, Knasu naturally had no need to detain him, so he waved his hand and let him go. They had come to the Scythian camp and lost nearly a hundred soldiers, including a commander. Knasu thought it was worth it. It would have been even better if Gu Changfeng had died as well.
At that time, Shen Mingjue had lost his father and his adulterer, his brother didn't care about him, and his mother would never see him. Only you were willing to take him in and treat him well. Wasn't you afraid that Shen Mingjue would not fall in love with him?
Xue Zhong left if he wanted, and left with General Shen's body if he wanted. But Shen Mingjue couldn't leave, because she was the princess after all, and she would be with him forever.
The princess is now more "obedient" than before.
Knasu held the man in his arms, put his cheek against his, and showed his affection to him, "Look, I got rid of the person who bullied you. Isn't that good for you?"
This time, Shen Mingjue did not ask directly and forcefully "What do you want to do?" Instead, he remained silent and did not even glance at him.
Knasu felt that the other party must have acquiesced.
"Go back and change your clothes first. We only got married that day and haven't consummated our marriage yet. Can I give it to you later?"
Shen Mingjue: "..."
Kenasu kissed him on the forehead and said, "Good boy, it would have been better if you had been so good earlier. I don't want to be mean to you."
Kenasu naturally didn't understand that Shen Mingjue had already closed himself off. He just thought that Shen Mingjue might have the same expectations as he did. After all, when the original Scythian king died, he succeeded to the throne and gained wealth, glory and unlimited power, which was a good thing.
"Clean up this place and move the lotus here." Knasu ordered in his native language.
A Scythian said: "Originally the lotuses were dead."
"Then buy more." Knasu was in a good mood. "Do I still need lotus flowers?"
