Chapter 175 No.20 Act Three The Return of the Prince V

Ever since he contracted a serious illness in Qingwan, Mo Zeming's body has not recovered, and he rarely met the people on the boat.It wasn't until the fleet sailed into the waters of Ye Country that the anchor dropped and sailed, that he walked onto the deck again with Mo Chen's support, staring at the distant Chanying Sea for a long time in a daze.

In the evening of that day, most of the soldiers on the ship had their meals in the cabin, and there were only a few sailors on the deck who were in charge of sentry.The setting sun cast a piece of gold on the calm sea, and also reflected the silhouettes of two people, one tall and one short, on the bow of the ship.

A flock of red-billed gulls was circling above the silver-haired boy.Suddenly, one of the gulls broke away from the team and plunged into the sea. When it floated up again, it had already picked up a silver white sardine in its mouth, and swallowed it in two or three bites.

"Mo Chen, do you think these birds know about the earth-shaking changes that are happening and are about to happen in the world?" Mo Zeming asked in a low voice with his back turned to the man.

"Why did the little Patriarch suddenly ask this?"

"Because I suddenly felt that being able to predict fate might not be a talent for me, but rather a heavy burden and curse."

"How could it be? If the little Patriarch hadn't been familiar with the astrology of the prophecy, we might have already turned into countless bones in this world. How could we still have the leisure to stand here blowing the sea breeze and say such things?"

"But the more I know, the more scared I become. Sometimes I even think, if I were just an ordinary person from the beginning, would I be happier than I am now? Even a little bit is fine."

These days, Mo Zeming only felt that the pressure on his shoulders was getting bigger and bigger.He cares too much about everything in the world, and wants to use his own strength to accurately calculate the star life of everyone around him, so that he can save his life before the crisis comes.However, his physical condition greatly slowed down the speed of calculation, making him depressed all day long, to the point where he didn't even think about eating or drinking.

"All stories will eventually come to their end. Mo Chen still remembers the old Patriarch's favorite sentence when he was alive: Keep the clouds open to see the Milky Way. I believe that one day, all the hardships and hardships we are facing now will be wiped out." Let the sky clear and usher in a new beginning.”

Seeing the overwhelmedness of the heir of the Qi family in front of him every day, the man couldn't bear it, and began to comfort him.

"Although you said this in your mouth, you still want to ask in your heart, since you hope that all this will pass as soon as possible, why should I support brother Qi to find the power of the ancestors and add new variables to the already complicated star wanderer, right? ?”

But the silver-haired boy suddenly turned his head and looked at the other party in front of him without blinking.It seemed that during the seemingly casual conversation before, he had already seen through his mind.

The man behind him cupped his hands, nodded and admitted: "Nothing can be hidden from the eyes of the little Patriarch."

"Mo Chen, although you remember this sentence: Keep the clouds open to see the Milky Way, but you never thought that if you want the dark clouds to disperse, you must have a breeze. Now that the Dasheng River is in danger, no one can support it. The country that is about to be overthrown. I think, maybe with the help of Brother Qi, he can be turned into the breeze that cleanses the evil in the world. Besides—"

Mo Zeming paused, as if hesitating whether to continue.Unexpectedly, Mo Chen had already guessed what he wanted to say but didn't say:
"The little Patriarch is suspecting that the matter of the ancestors may also be related to the passing of the old Patriarch?"

The silver-haired boy hesitated for a moment, but still nodded:
"My ability to count stars is not as good as my father's, but when the ancient city first appeared in the calculation, I knew that I was finally on the same page as my father's unfinished calculations before he died. One direction! The so-called ancestors, what kind of ancient mysteries are hidden in this world, I want to find out clearly!"

While speaking, the sun has gradually fallen below the sea level.At the junction of the black sea water and the purple sunset glow, a small star rose into the sky unknowingly.Mo Zeming raised his right hand high, pointed his index finger at the spot of light that was almost difficult to detect with the naked eye and said:

"Mo Chen, have you seen that star? In the past, whenever my father went to the Luoxing Pavilion, he would always teach me to recognize a star in the sky. And this star called Yeyou, besides the Qichen star, The first one I could pinpoint."

"Yeyou? This subordinate has never heard of it."

"It is said that ten thousand years ago, this star and Qichen were descendants of the sun god Xihe, and they were also a pair of twin brother stars. One of them appeared in the early morning and the other rose in the evening. The bleak moments guard the world. However, as time went by, Ye You was bewitched by the darkness, and began to envy Qi Chen, which accompanies the sun rising and setting every day, and then turned into a curse star representing the coming of disasters. Forgotten. It's no wonder you haven't heard of it."

"The curse star?"

"Well. According to the legend, Yeyou regarded his brother as an enemy, and launched a protracted war with him. At that time, the sun and the moon were dark, everything withered, and the world fell into eternal night catastrophe. But in the end, Yeyou was still defeated, so he was He was exiled to the end of the sky. However, he still waited for an opportunity to return to the world, so he would often take advantage of the nightfall to lead the ghosts in the dark night to confront the moon god Wangshu. Therefore, as long as he appears, the night will be covered with dark clouds. There is no light on the stars and the moon. It seems that there will be another storm on the sea tonight."

Looking at the flickering light spot, the master and servant fell into a long silence.The sky became darker and darker, and a dark cloud appeared faintly at the junction of the sea and the sky, making Ye You the only bright star on the sky.

"The night wind roars in Yinghai in October, and the white foam is like snow and frost, condensing sorrow.

Lian Pian Ge and ships parked in Yanzhu, and ink clouds covered Qingzhou.

In the past, the golden orchids were not rebellious, but now the swords and halberds are in front of the battle.

A farewell to Qiujiang Yingguhong, Fang regrets not reining in the horse. "

The silver-haired boy lowered his head, and began to recite a poem in a low voice.He repeated it several times, but he let out a long sigh, his body swayed a few times, and he was a little unsteady on the spot:

"But I didn't know at first that things would develop to this point!"

When I first heard that poem, I seemed to be lamenting the fate of the two brothers Qichen and Yeyou in the legend, but when I thought about it carefully, it was actually a commentary after divination!

Mo Chen hurriedly stepped forward to support the other party: "Little Patriarch, what have you done these days?"

Mo Zeming nodded weakly: "Actually, I have already figured it out. Brother Qi and his old friend from the past may turn against each other just like Qichen and Yeyou!"

"Old friend from the past? You mean the young man named Jiang Yan?"

Mo Chen couldn't help shouting in surprise, and immediately asked:
"Since this is the case, why didn't the little Patriarch directly tell the young master Ziyin about this matter, and let him judge by himself?"

"Because I'm afraid that the more things I tell the other party, the more it will affect his correct judgment. Today's brother Qi is a rare clean stream in this world. If the secret is revealed in advance, it may be pushed back step by step. To the abyss of eternal doom. There is still a turning point for everything now, not to mention—”

The silver-haired boy stopped talking halfway, but Mo Chen continued: "The little Patriarch wants to use the hands of the two of you to investigate the cause of the old Patriarch's unexpected death?"

A few unwilling tears suddenly appeared in Mo Zeming's eyes, and he nodded heavily immediately:
"Yes! I just don't understand what my father has done, and what interests have been involved, so that he died in the Luoxing Pavilion for no apparent reason! But Mo Chen, you said that I used Brother Qi and the others in this way—would it be true? Would it be too selfish?"

The man pondered for a moment, and finally stepped forward, reaching out to caress the boy's violently heaving back:
"The little Patriarch gambled everything about Yunzhi Mo's family, isn't it just for the day when the truth will be revealed? No matter what you encounter along the way, Mo Chen will serve you as always!"

After some comfort, the silver-haired boy gradually stopped crying.It seemed that he suddenly came up with a new countermeasure, and the foresight that was far beyond his age was restored on his face:

"Speaking of which, even though the fate is hard to break, it doesn't mean it can't be changed. Perhaps right now, if I can do my best to help Brother Qi find the ultimate power before everyone else, that will be the way to resolve all these contradictions !"

The man beside him didn't let the boy continue talking, he reached out to support him and wanted to leave the deck: "Little Patriarch, it's windy at sea, let's go back to the cabin!"

Not long after the master and servant returned to the cabin, the torrential rain suddenly came.But during the storm, I suddenly heard someone knocking on the door:
"Brother Zeming fell asleep? I want to trouble you with something."

Mo Chen glanced at Mo Zeming who was already lying down on the couch, and immediately opened his mouth to refuse.But the silver-haired boy who was not yet asleep stopped him with his eyes, and immediately got up again, put on a burqa and opened the door to meet him himself.

As soon as the door was opened, the north wind rushed in towards the cabin.Wearing a silver mask, Qi Ziyin was wearing a thick jacket, but his back was already soaked, standing outside the door shivering.Seeing Mo Chen's frown, he lowered his head in embarrassment:

"It seems too late today. Brother Zeming, you should rest well—"

But the silver-haired boy waved his hand and opened the door wider: "Since you're here, please sit down for a while. I can't sleep for a while, and I just have something to say to Brother Qi."

Qi Ziyin was taken aback for a moment, but finally stepped into the door.I saw that the tables and benches in the cabin were covered with ivory counting chips, and sheets of counting paper with messy symbols were scattered in many places.He stood on the spot, suddenly a little embarrassed and didn't know where to settle.

"Sit casually. I haven't had time to clean up these things, but they are useless, and it's okay to mess them up. It's just that I don't know why Brother Qi came here in the rain?"

Mo Zeming smiled at the person who came.After the hatch was closed, the howling wind weakened a lot immediately, and his voice was much more clearly heard than before.

"Visiting late at night, I really want to ask Brother Zeming to do the math for me. This time I will fight Uncle Wang, what is my chance of winning?"

The boy in white clasped his hands and sat down beside the Shibu case.He didn't know in his heart how much Ye country's army strength was left at this time, but he knew that he had only a few thousand people under his command, and it was obviously too few to fight on the battlefield. His heart was always hanging in his chest, and he couldn't sleep.

However, after waiting for a while, Mo Zeming on the opposite side was indifferent, and a trace of disappointment could not help but appear on his face: "Could it be that Brother Zeming refuses to..."

The silver-haired boy didn't deny it, but shook his head lightly:

"It's not that I don't want to divination for Brother Qi, it's just that the battle is imminent, if the result of the calculation is not satisfactory, wouldn't it be that I lost my morale first? Besides, you came here in the rain, in fact, it's not because you want to get something from me." The real result is to find a reason to convince yourself to continue fighting, right?"

Qi Ziyin silently turned his eyes aside - the other party's words hit his mind accurately, and even put all the worries in these days clearly in front of each other.Although there is no war at the moment, he is full of anxiety in his heart.After all, the fate of the thousands of soldiers on the ship, as well as the fate of the entire country of Ye, will be completely changed by this battle.

"I am indeed——Brother Zeming said exactly what he said. Now that I have made my choice, there is no way out..."

"Having said that, Brother Qi might as well think about it carefully—maybe I have already calculated the outcome of this war. Otherwise, why would I support you to go south to Ye Kingdom?"

Mo Zeming suddenly laughed, "My purpose is just to hope that Brother Qi can go all out to clear the way for the future search for the city of the ancestors. In the final analysis, divination is just a means, and the result of the matter, But the most important thing is manpower! If you carelessly underestimate the enemy, even if you have the chance to win, you may still lose!"

"Brother Zeming awakened the dreamer with his words, and I already know what I should do. I just don't know if what you want to tell me is also related to the upcoming battle with Uncle Wang?"

The boy in white cupped his hands.Before the words fell, the other party's expression suddenly became extremely cautious and dignified:

"After this battle is won, Brother Qi will gain the supreme power that few people in this world can get. But this is a double-edged sword. What I want to ask is, if after this battle, you will be the enemy of the whole world, Even if you want to make enemies with your former relatives and loved ones, how should Brother Qi deal with himself?"

Qi Ziyin never expected that the other party would ask such a question that he had never considered before.After pondering for a long while, he replied solemnly:
"Now I am an enemy of my fellow countrymen and the world I once knew. But the purpose of this battle is not only for myself, but also for the thousands of people of Ye Kingdom. I am not afraid of war, but I am not good either. If necessary, I will resolutely give up all power without leaving any attachments. I will never become a slave who is confused by power like Uncle Wang and is willing to be driven by it!"

The words of the boy in white finally made Mo Zeming relax his frown again.Then he raised his hands above his head and bowed deeply to the person in front of him:
"Brother Qi, if there is something useful in the future, Zeming will go all out!"

As the night darkened, the two teenagers talked for a long time before saying goodbye.However, the cabin door has not yet been opened, but a high-pitched horn is heard from outside the door.Immediately afterwards, the sentry guards on the Liao ship also roared one after another:
"Enemy ships attack!"

Qi Ziyin exchanged glances with the master and servant behind him, and immediately opened the cabin door and ran towards the deck.

Right now, a dense fog rose around the warship, and the dark clouds in the distance were gradually approaching.Among the thick clouds, thunder and lightning flashed.The pale electric light penetrated the dark blue rain curtain, reflecting a confused and chaotic scene.And the countless ships that obeyed Qi Shouyu's orders had also gathered in formation on the distant sea!
