C173 The Road Ahead Was Bleak

"Alright, Ling Yun, you can leave now. I have something to discuss with Little Brother Ye in private. "

Ling Yun looked at Guxing when he heard him. He quickly lowered his head and said respectfully, "Yes, this subordinate will take his leave!"

After that, Chu Feng swept his gaze across the eunuch and the rest. The latter understood and left as well.

With this, the huge Clear Shadow Hall was instantly cleaned up. As he felt the pressure of the emperor around him getting heavier and heavier, Guxing understood that the main event was finally coming.

"I heard that little brother's surname is Ye and his name is Guxing. Could it be that he has some kind of connection with the Yeh family in the east side of the Clear Shadow Hall?"

Guxing's heart skipped a beat, but his expression didn't change as he said, "That's not the case. It's just a coincidence. "

"Coincidence?"

Chu Feng was interested when he heard that. "Little brother, can you tell me about it?"

"Oh, I see. "

Guxing knew that. It wasn't easy to explain, so he explained everything in detail. He didn't even hide anything from his uncles. After all, the other party wasn't an ordinary person. He was extremely good at reading people's expressions and words, and he also cultivated the Emperor's Heart Technique. Hiding anything in front of such a person would only bring humiliation upon himself, so he might as well be frank and lenient.

"Grandfather treated me well, but he never gave me a name, and my parents never appeared. Children of the same age often mock me about this, and this kid had no choice but to serve me. Because it was night at that time, the Guxing in the sky was flickering. . . "

Of course, Guxing still appropriately concealed the matter of the jade pendant. After all, even he himself couldn't explain this matter clearly, and it would only arouse suspicion if he said it out loud.

"So that's how it is. I never thought that little brother would have such a bumpy past. It really makes me sigh. "

Then, he turned around and said a few words in a deep voice, "The night has yet to come and the sky has yet to brighten. Solitude takes the lead. The fire of the stars burned the clouds, and the cold moon could seize love. Yeh Guxing was bright, and Yeh Guxing was dark. Hehe, little brother, you've come up with a good name for yourself. "

Chu Feng smiled and looked at Guxing. His praise was obvious.

"The Emperor is overpraising me. This brat only felt it for a moment. A mere rough name is really not worth listening to. "

After talking for so long, Guxing still could not figure out the true purpose of this monarch. From the looks of it, although his words were trying to please him, it could not be said to be roping him in. However, if they were not trying to win him over, What did he mean by calling him over?

Guxing couldn't help but have a headache. If a woman's heart was as unfathomable as a needle in the ocean, Then the heart of the king is a grain of sand on the bottom of the sea, harder to fathom.

"A rough name? Do you know how many hidden dangers you, Guxing, will bring to the world?"

Chu Feng suddenly said to himself.

"What is the Emperor saying?"

Guxing vaguely heard his name and immediately asked carefully.

"Oh, nothing. "

Chu Feng's face stiffened. Only now did he realize that he had almost said something wrong. He immediately smiled and tried to mediate the situation. "It's just that I suddenly thought of an old friend. I couldn't help but sigh. Speaking of which, does this old friend of mine have some fate with little brother? "

"Oh? What fate is Emperor talking about?"

When he heard that this matter had something to do with the Ye family, he felt a sense of loneliness in his heart.

" Hehe, little brother, do you know the name of this person? "

How could Guxing know? He immediately shook his head and said. "Please enlighten me, Emperor. "

Chu Feng said with a smile, "This name is Ye Gu Xing. It is only one word away from little brother's name. Tell me, between you two, there is only one word difference. Is it fate?"

"Ye Jixing? So that's how it is. "

Guxing pretended to be enlightened and nodded his head, but his heart was not calm. The name was so similar to his, could it be that it really had something to do with him? If it was, was it really his brother or. . . Father!

Of course, on the surface, he pretended to be very casual as he asked, "In that case, this kid and this old friend of the Emperor really have some fate. May I ask Emperor, where is this old friend now?"

"Him?"

Chu Feng was clearly stunned for a moment, but he could not tell whether it was a bitter or nostalgic sigh. "He died on the battlefield of the eastern barbarians. I saw with my own eyes that he was shot by several arrows and still fought with all his strength to kill more than a hundred people. It could be said to be heroic, but in the end, it was the end of a hero. Such a hero could only die with hatred. "

"He's dead!"

Guxing's heart skipped a beat. When he thought that this man was most likely the family he had been searching for, he felt an indescribable anxiety in his heart. However, because of the identity of this man in front of him, the only thing he could say at this moment was one sentence.

"My condolences to the Emperor!"

"It's fine. Victory and defeat are common in war, let alone life and death. Besides, I didn't let them down during that battle, and Great Chu was even more peaceful because of them. For a soldier, it should be his nature to treat death as his home, so their death isn't a grievance! "

No matter what his true purpose was, Guxing only had respect for this emperor who he couldn't see through.

"Poor Wuding River Bone, he's still the person in my dream. If such a hero died on the battlefield, how sad would his family be? I'm afraid it's not an exaggeration to describe it as a superficial pain. "

Guxing said with a sigh.

Unexpectedly, Chu Feng laughed out loud, but his tone was still sad. "I'm afraid this is the happiest thing that happened to that guy before he died. "

Guxing was stunned. "May I ask Emperor why he said that?"

Chu Feng smiled bitterly and said, "Different from little brother, that guy really did not betray the word 'lone' in his name. Although he came from the Yeh family, in fact, he was just an abandoned baby adopted by the Ye family. Because he was obsessed with martial arts, he never got married and had children in his life. Later on, it was for the sake of the Great Chu. Perhaps to him. . . Fighting to the death on the battlefield is the best ending! "

When he said this, Chu Feng's expression was unprecedentedly serious.

After listening to his explanation, the weight on Guxing's heart finally fell. Perhaps it was because of a similar background and the same bumpy destiny, Guxing finally felt relieved. An indescribable sense of compassion for this senior whom he had never met before.

This was probably the so-called "Drunken Battlefield Lord, don't laugh. Since the ancient times, let's fight and return. " Although it sounded cruel, no one could change anything. Not to mention. . . The Pugilistic World itself wasn't an invisible battlefield. Once one set foot in it, they would either kill or kill.

Would his own fate really be better than his?

At least he considered dying in battle as his home. . .

Looking at the future that was completely covered by the white fog, Guxing's heart was once again at a loss.
