As a eunuch, I don't want to live forever

The first year of the Apocalypse...

Emperor Apocalypse launched the Battle of Apocalypse and seized the throne of emperor that did not belong to him from Emperor Jianwen.

To consolidate the throne.

Emperor Tianqi raised the butcher knife in his hand and slashed it at his brothers.

Dazhou Jiuzi...

Except for the father of Emperor Jianwen who died, eight of the nine sons died.

This killing killed more than 100,000 people in total. The blood gathered into a river in Kyoto City, and the bones turned into a hill. I heard that the mass graves in the suburbs were all filled up.

Within Kyoto... the people are silent and the officials are silent.

Emperor Tianqi... This emperor who stood up on horseback, in addition to his absolute strength, never hesitated even with the sword in his hand.

In order to consolidate the throne, everyone believed that he could kill not only the descendants of the Seven Kings, but also the entire Xiao family royal family.

But what I have to say is that although his methods are a bit cruel and there may be some stains in the history books, his throne is more stable than ever.

Chen Luo entered Kyoto in the first year of Tianqi...

Soon after, I found a villa in Kyoto.

Coincidentally.

The yard happens to be in Xicheng...

The yard happens to be an extremely familiar yard.

Three in and three out.

Close to Xushui River.

There are willow trees on the river...the branches have entered the water and are floating with the river.

"This courtyard was originally the courtyard of an official, but the official was a bit unlucky and was killed by His Majesty... The descendants of the family have found it hard to stay in Kyoto, so they have to sell it. Young Master... you Look, how is this yard?

The price is not expensive, only eight hundred taels will do... You know, this yard was built less than ten years ago. "

The person from the tooth shop introduced it with a smile.

Chen Luo nodded.

"The hospital is really good."

After all... I have lived in the yard for so many years. I don't know whether it is good or bad.

Eight hundred taels...

That's really good.

"Young Master wants it?"

When the people in Yaxing heard this, the smiles on their faces became bigger and bigger.

Eight hundred taels...

My commission is only a few dozen taels, but I have earned it for several years, so how can I not be happy?

"Um……"

"Sir, wait a minute, I'm going to find the house deed."

After a while, everything went well, and this yard became Chen Luo's yard again. Not only that, the dental shop also helped Chen Luo find some servants to help clean up the yard.

The yard is quite big...

At least some servants are needed.

People in Yaxing think that this young master needs some talents, but there are no...

The huge yard, with an old scalper and one person, looked extremely empty.

People in the dental industry are puzzled...

But it's hard to say much. After all, the money has been obtained, and the rest is none of his business.

Chen Luo found the recliner from his storage bag.

A bottle of sake.

A peach blossom fan.

So I stayed here leisurely...

At this time...there is no immortality in the world.

At this time... chivalrous warriors are rampant.

At this time... the rivers and lakes are turbulent.

But at this moment, this courtyard is the most leisurely place in the world...

……

Also this year, a crying newborn baby was born in the house of a family named Ji on nearby Changyuan Street.

Ji family...

Ji Boying waited anxiously, wandering outside the hospital and looking into the small room from time to time.

There were sounds of maternal pain inside, as well as people who were constantly busy.

Dystocia...

These two words kept echoing in Ji Boying's mind.

Every echo brought him waves of panic...

He was just a small yamen servant in the Kyoto Prefecture. He was the only child in his family for three generations... It has been five years since he got married.

This is his first child...

Come to think of it, it will also be the last child.

But at this time, this happened...

Ji Boying felt like his body was trembling. He was really afraid of hearing words that would make him unable to make a choice...

Protect yourself?

Or keep a child?

But the more you are afraid of something, the more likely it will happen...

Po Wen hurriedly came out of the delivery room, her hands and face covered with blood.

"Mr. Ji, my wife is having a difficult delivery... You need to make a choice quickly, keep her older or keep her younger?"

Ji Boying staggered back several steps, and finally fell down on the stone chair.

"Po Wen, do you really have to make a choice?"

"He's bleeding heavily, and there's no room for hesitation."

Ji Boying was silent, it was really difficult to make a choice at this time...

He and his wife have been childhood sweethearts and have been in love since childhood. Over the years, they have become like newlyweds...

But this child is the child he has waited for five years to come...

How could he give it up?

He gritted his teeth...

As time passed, he opened his mouth slightly, as if he was about to make a decision. However, at this time, the sound of a child crying suddenly came from the room.

Po Wen was stunned.

Ji Boying was also stunned.

A servant ran out with an excited look on his face: "It's born, it's born, it's a boy!"

Ji Boying reacted.

He quickly walked up and grabbed the servant's hand and asked: "Where is the madam? Where is the madam?"

"Madam is fine, mother and son are safe!"

Ji Boying sat slumped on the ground with a silly smile on his face.

Po Wen was confused...

Mother and child are safe?

How can it be?

The umbilical cord was wrapped more than ten times...breech position. Not only that, the placenta blocked the cervix...

This is something that even Daluo Jinxian cannot save...

Better to keep it safe.

Better to stay young.

But why is it fine now?

Po Wen ran in, but looking at the smiling mother and son, Po Wen had to accept the fact.

"Husband, what would you like to name the child?"

The woman asked the Ji family man.

Ji Boying is thinking...

Suddenly, an idea came to his mind: "Let's call him Bao, right?"

"Save?"

"Ji Bao!"

Protect the elder, protect the child...

This most difficult choice has passed like this, and it is probably the greatest luck.
"Ji Bao?"

The woman murmured... and the smile on her face grew bigger and bigger.

She lowered her head.

He kissed the child gently on the face.

"Little Jibao, you must be happy and grow up healthy."

Beside them, a man stood unknown at this moment.

Men's Tsing Yi.

There is a gourd on his waist.

There was a faint smile on his face.

But this man, no matter who he was, was not noticed at all, as if he never existed.

Even if someone walked by, they would pass right through his body.

"Ji Bao..."

Chen Luo smiled slightly: "Very good!"

It turned out that I had already met him before I knew it...

……

Early autumn.

The northern wild geese formed a single file, streaking across the distant sky toward the warm south.

In Kyoto, the lush foliage in summer begins to fade away.

The peach trees in the courtyard have long since become bare, and even the fish in the river outside the courtyard have become much cooler than before.

Chen Luo was sitting by the river fishing,

look up……

Even the sunlight felt a lot colder.

Ten years since the Apocalypse... Before I knew it, it had been ten years since I entered Kyoto.

not long.

Not short.

It seems like yesterday, and it seems like a long time has passed.

This year……

It rains continuously in early spring.

The withered branches and leaves of Kyoto finally began to show new branches.

The peach trees in the courtyard are all pink.

Chen Luo likes rain.

I have been particularly fond of this kind of rain since very early on. It seems that I can always find a lot of spiritual comfort in this rainy day.

So I was bored, so I held up an oil-paper umbrella, walked out of the yard, and walked onto the street.

On the streets.

The stalls and hawkers are still busy, but the pace is also a bit faster.

"Quick, go to the east of the city."

"There's a new notice."

"Go and have a look and see what good things are going on."

Chen Luo listened for a while, then finally walked into the crowd and followed the crowd towards the east of the city.

Under the city wall.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier.

At first it was just a drizzle, but when it came again, it became one continuous rain, and it seemed that even the scene in front of me was somewhat unclear.

The notices on the city wall are quite simple.

There are only a few words, but it is extremely official...

But the meaning is extremely clear.

Since Emperor Tianqi launched the Battle of Tianqi in the first year of Tianqi, the inner palace has been short of manpower...

Eunuchs, maids... ten out of ten.

So, it's time to welcome new people.

Ten years...

From the decline of the past, the Great Zhou Dynasty gradually embarked on a great rise...

The Apocalypse finally showed its fangs.

only……

Even in prosperous times, there are still many poor people who cannot survive. As soon as the notice was issued, many people responded to the call...

……

East of the city.

Qingshui Street,
Clean house...

This is the place controlled by the inner palace.

As soon as the announcement came out, many children came in, and within a short time, a long queue formed.

"Why are there so many people?"

Seeing so many people in front of him, a young man couldn't help but mutter. "

"Although the world is prosperous, there are still many people who cannot survive... In order to survive, there are naturally many people who make the same choices as us.'

"Where are you from, Xiongtai?"

"Qizhou Wei Mingyi..."

The young man clasped his fists and asked, "Where are you from, little brother?"

"Here in Kyoto, my name is Zheng Sanbao..."

"Zheng Sanbao? I hope we can all enter this palace..."

Wei Mingyi said.

However, as soon as these words came out, a sighing voice came from the side: "You guys think too much. How can it be so easy to get in?"

The two of them turned around and saw a handsome young man.

The boy is about sixteen or seventeen years old...

But his face was a little yellow and his body was much smaller, which was obviously caused by malnutrition.

"How to say?"

Zheng Sanbao asked: "Is it so difficult to be a eunuch these days?"

"Why isn't it difficult?"

The young man said: "Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, although the world has entered a prosperous age, there are still weapons in dozens of states...

As far as our land in Nanzhou is concerned, how many people have been displaced in recent years? Even on the roadside, there are often people frozen to death. How many people can't survive and have to move to their hometown? "

"Kyoto is prosperous...but this prosperity is only in Kyoto. Outside of Kyoto, there are many people who are suffering!"

As soon as these words came out, Zheng Sanbao and Wei Mingyi fell silent.

It was because the boy's words were too true, and because of the truth, he had to remain silent.

"In the land of the world, in the year of great prosperity, only we common people will suffer. Even in troubled times, only we common people will suffer."

Zheng Sanbao said.

Wei Mingyi quickly stopped him in a low voice.

"Keep your voice down, don't let anyone hear you. If you do, you'll be in trouble!"

"Ah."

"Wei Mingyi..."

Just in time.

The clean place is opened.

An old eunuch came out with blood on his hands and shouted to the list in front of him.

"coming!"

Wei Mingyi responded quickly.

Looking back...

He said to Zheng Sanbao and the young man: "I'll go ahead and wait for you in the palace!"

"Brother Wei, take one step first, we'll come right away!"

When Zheng Sanbao saw Wei Mingyi walking away, he turned back and continued chatting with the boy.

After a while, they arrived at Zheng Sanbao, but at this time, the old eunuch gave up and said: "Let the rest leave, the quota in the inner palace is full, we don't want anyone else!"

Zheng Sanbao breathed a sigh of relief...

I am lucky.

I happened to be the last one.

but……

He turned around and looked at the young man. Sure enough, the young man's face was full of despair.

Suddenly.

"what you do!"

The old eunuch shouted...

Zheng Sanbao was also shocked.

I saw the young man suddenly burst into flames and ran towards the stall on the side...

Coincidentally.

There are scissors on the stall.

The young man did not hesitate and took off his pants before anyone could react...

immediately.

A brush sound.

With a burst of screams, the young man collapsed to the ground, and the blood spattered three feet high.

But the young man still suppressed his paleness and looked up at the old eunuch.

He implored the old eunuch: "Father-in-law, please have mercy... I can't live anymore. Entering the palace is my only way to survive..."

Gulu!
There were sounds of swallowing all around.

Also heard was the crisp sound of the old eunuch's knife falling to the ground...

Isn't this guy a little too ferocious?
Fu Zhong only felt that his scalp was numb,

He has been a eunuch for decades...

In a place like walking on thin ice in the palace, I have witnessed too many cruel things, but this is the first time I have seen someone as brave as this young man...

Forget it.

and also……

Why did you destroy everything?

The harem of the Great Zhou Dynasty has always been just a place where the balls have been removed. Where can one be so clean and direct?
Fu Zhong didn't want to take care of this young man.

But looking at him like this, and looking at his pleading, I couldn't help but feel compassion in my heart.

Such a young man...

That's the mentality.

Such cruelty.

Such bravery.

So clean and tidy,

The inner palace is a place where there are constant dangers and intrigues everywhere, which is perfect for him...

"One day, this young man will definitely become a famous figure in the entire harem. Maybe one day, even I will be protected by him."

Thinking of this, Fu Zhong asked: "What's your name?"

The young man's tense heart finally dropped at this moment.

He looked up.

He answered in a very small voice.

He said: "Little one, Chen Luo..."

……

On this day...

March of the tenth year of the Apocalypse.

Also on this day, in the Sky Continent, a meteor streaked across the sky...
