There is Feng Laiyi: The remnant king dotes on the overlord concubine

Chapter 169 The Secret About the First Emperor

After listening to Master Yi, Nishang and Xiao Zimu were all silent. Master Yi looked at them, and then suddenly asked, "Do you know why there is no record about the late emperor in Dongli's annals?"

Nishang shook his head, "There are indeed very few things about him in the annals, as if the entire Dongli dynasty was missing for decades, and he just skipped something in the middle. All the things about the first emperor are just heard from people. It’s just some stories that I don’t know the truth of.”

Master Yi asked Xiao Zimu again: "Then what are the records about the former emperor in your Xiqi?"

Xiao Zimu also shook his head, "I just know that he is a very great person. Xiqi admitted that he signed the contract back then, but he omitted all the details. Moreover, there is no description about Emperor Dongli. It's very mysterious."

Master Yi smiled in surprise, but the smile looked so helpless, he laughed at himself: "Even the martial and warlike Xiqi dare not admit that period of history, it seems that those things are important to the whole continent. History that should be forgotten."

Nishang had a premonition in his heart that Master Yi seemed to be about to say something, he was always feeling emotional, it was impossible to just say a few simple words of emotion.

Sure enough, Master Yi asked Nishang and Xiao Zimu: "I have some stories here, are you willing to listen to them? Maybe after you have heard them, you will know why I stopped you from using the Dragon Sword. At that time, you And I don’t want to have anything to do with that sword.”

Nishang nodded, "Master, please tell me."

When Nishang was saying these words, Master Yi had already started his own narration. Judging from his appearance, it seemed that even if Nishang didn't intend to listen, he would say those things.

"Many years ago, I was just as old as you guys. At that time, I also had a crush on a girl. She was tall and slender. When she smiled, she looked like countless flowers in the fields outside the capital in late spring and early summer. She was beautiful. And kind, like a girl walking out of a painting."

"I don't remember whether it was the first year of Yuanwu or the third year of Yuanwu. It's been too long."

Nishang listened to Master Yi, she was a little puzzled, why such a girl was suddenly mentioned, although Nishang didn't mind listening to the story, but does this story have anything to do with the Dragon Slaying Sword they were looking for?

Master Yi was still talking.

"She is the daughter of the prime minister's family. Many people like her. I am just the most insignificant one among many people. Even I don't know why, but she just picked me out of so many people. I am dull and stupid, It was so awkward when I stood with her. Many people laughed at me, I didn’t have any self-knowledge, and I didn’t know how much I was.”

"But she would tell me, it's okay, when the time comes, we will elope together and leave here. The world is big, and we can go to many places, which have nothing to do with Dongli or us. At that time, we will forget our own Name, start your new life."

"I've always dreamed of the kind of life she said."

"We rode horses and archery, went out to enjoy flowers, we saw the moon in the back mountain, and stayed up all night waiting for the sunrise. We saw the sea on the East China Sea, and wandered around in the alleys of the capital. We’ve done it all over again.”

"I love her, love her very much. But I have never kissed her. We will walk hand in hand, but we rarely even hug. I always think that if love is mixed with too many things, it will become impure."

When the story came to this point, Master Yi laughed. The time he was talking about was beautiful.Nishang thought of how she was when she argued with Master Yi about the so-called love before, and then felt that she was ridiculous.He also loved so presumptuously, earnestly, and purely.

In front of him, he has nothing to show off.

However, Nishang saw Master Yi's helplessness, and she asked, "Did something bad happen afterwards?"

Master Yi didn't answer Nishang's question directly, and he continued his narration.

"There is not much time left for us. Two years after we fell in love, in the third year of Yuanwu, or in the fifth year of Yuanwu, the emperor gave his youngest son a marriage. The woman was the daughter of the prime minister. .”

"In the eyes of everyone at the time, a man with a talent and a woman with a beautiful face were a match made in heaven! Even I thought they were a perfect match. Later she told me, take me away, let's get out of here, forget the name. Forget everyone. I have been I was looking forward to that day, but when it really came, I gave up. I didn't have the courage to take her away."

"The emperor's youngest son was the first emperor, and later he became the emperor, and she also became the empress, which is enough to show that my decision was right." Master Yi was still smiling, but the smile was so helpless.

"I think she is the prime minister's daughter, and he is the prince. They will be very happy together. In fact, I am just weak. I don't have the courage to take her away, because I know that the war will start soon. Although Dong Li As a big country, but she is not sure of winning the war, I think, if she can enter the royal family, she doesn't have to run for her life like everyone else."

"She wants me to take her away, but where can I take her? The so-called Penglai? Maybe we were discovered when we first walked to the East Sea, and then I was taken back as a deserter, and she would not What a good result. In the midst of the war, I am really powerless, I can only give her what I think is the most stable life. I love her, how could I let her suffer so much pain with me?"

"That night, I went to the wedding banquet, and she remained expressionless throughout, neither crying nor laughing, as if she had lost her soul. I was in pain, so I drank a lot of wine. I hoped that I could exchange it for a big drunk Drunk and dreaming, then you can forget everything, and act as if you never loved her at all."

"But how is that possible? It's impossible at all! I haven't seen her again. For a long time, I only vaguely heard people talking about the prince and her. I would think that she is very happy now. , that's enough."

"Isn't this enough? She can live a stable life, isn't this enough?"

Master Yi muttered to himself, he was dressing them up, or he was asking himself.

It was a sad story, otherwise Master Yi would not have doubted himself. Of course, no matter who encounters such a choice, he will have doubts about himself.

If it were you, how would you choose? Nishang only knows that it is impossible for her to let go. Even if two people work hard together, it is always better than enjoying the tranquility in pain.

"Master Yi, do you think that's enough? Have you ever asked her what she thinks? Maybe she doesn't want to live in an ignoble existence? Maybe she's not afraid of the two of you facing the chaos together? You I just give her the life I want her to live, but do you know if she likes that kind of life?"

Master Yi was hesitated by Nishang's few words, but he didn't struggle with that emotion for too long, he still didn't answer Nishang's question, he started his narration again.

"If we don't see each other like that, maybe it's not a bad result for me. We don't see each other anymore. She can still live very well. I die in the battlefield, or keep fighting in the battlefield. Running around, these are irrelevant things."

"However, the last thing I expected happened. The prince heard the story between me and her, so she called me to her side. From that year on, I have been by the prince's side. I never asked the prince, Whether he loves her or not, but I know that the prince treats her very well."

"Later, when the war started, the prince went to the battlefield in person. As the most powerful country among the four countries, Dongli retreated steadily on the battlefield. We lost a lot, and the defense line kept shrinking. The land was invaded until only the original two-thirds of the

"The prince is worried about this all day long. He wants to change everything, but we are not capable enough. I don't remember how the prince got the Dragon Slaying Sword, but since he has that sword, the battle has completely turned to us. Even if the three countries joined forces, they were still beaten back. We fought many battles and never lost one more battle. It was from that time that the prince seemed to be a different person."

"He began to torture and kill the captives. Dongli respected peace and would treat soldiers who surrendered kindly, but the prince changed everything. He ordered everyone to be executed. He broke the rules."

"That incident shocked the entire dynasty, but because of his meritorious service, it did not cause much disturbance. In the face of the incident of quelling the flames of war, what's the point of executing some captives, even if there are tens of thousands of people? ?”

"Hundreds of thousands? Did he order to kill so many people?" Nishang asked in shock.

Master Yi nodded, "There are about 30 people. From Beimo to Xiqi, many people were not spared."

"Because of the war, the emperor didn't last long. In the spring of the second year, the prince ascended the throne. Then there was a relatively peaceful era. If the peace continued, nothing would happen after that, but He happened, and there's nothing I can do to change that and hide everything."

"He had his own son, who is now Emperor Dongli. It was not long after the war started. The prince asked her to take the child back to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"Because of the previous incident, the first emperor had already realized the damage caused by the dragon-slaying sword. He knew that he was being controlled, so he didn't touch that sword again when the war broke out. However, the three kingdoms joined forces to attack. He picked up the Dragon Slaying Sword again."

"The Dragon Slaying Sword is a magic weapon, but it is also a weapon for killing people!"
