C68

Wu Cunjing sat in the middle of the Sand Bandit, while Wu Ming and Sang Yu were affectionately pulled to his side. Wu Cunjing who was in between Sand Bandit was no longer the king who used to be aloof and aloof, he had now become a real Sand Bandit. He rudely poured wine into his own mouth, and the wine flowed down along his face and beard.

Even when drinking wine, Wu Cunjing still wore that silver mask on his face. Wu Ming could tell that Wu Cunjing's men still respected their big brother a lot.

Wu Cunjing's lair was a cave. This cave was not far from the Oasis Jade Belt, but it appeared to be extremely well hidden.

There weren't that many delicacies in the desert. Although the Sand Bandit held a grand banquet, the only things that could be eaten were dried meat, pancakes, and cactus.

When Wu Cunjing said that she would treat him warmly, Wu Ming was still looking forward to it. He looked forward to eating delicious food, such as fruits and fresh meat. Wu Ming looked at the table full of pancakes and cactus, and a little bit of dried meat, feeling a little disgusted. Maybe this was a fruit before dinner, but this was the only thing to eat in the desert.

Sang Yu sat beside Wu Ming and quietly ate his dried meat and drank his water. When there were many people, Sang Yu did not like to talk. Sang Yu didn't have as many requirements as Wu Ming with regards to food. She calmly stuffed a piece of skinned cactus into her mouth and chewed it carefully. In fact, the taste of these cactus were still pretty good. Sand Bandit added a special kind of sauce to the peeled cactus, although it was not as sweet as honey, but it had a different taste.

My brother, I didn't expect we would meet again in the desert. Wu Cunjing raised his wine cup, he was indeed very happy, he did not expect to meet Wu Ming in the desert, and seeing Wu Ming gave him a very strange feeling.

Seeing Wu Ming, Wu Cunjing felt like he was the same as he was in the past. He was once a high and mighty king, and he made the women of Jian Ling go crazy for him, and the nobles kneel down for him, because he was one of the few kings that could fight for a seat with Wu Tian, the crown prince.

Wu Cunjing's eyes were a little red. He did not know if it was because of the bad wine or because he was sad from the past. Wu Ming patted his shoulder in fear. The two of them didn't say anything, and did indeed hold the coarse wine bowl in their hands.

The images of the fine wine golden cups appeared in front of Wu Cunjing. Wu Cunjing felt that the previous feast could only be considered as a feast.

Wu Cunjing strongly blinked his eyes, as if he was trying to squeeze the tears in his slightly reddened eyes back into his body: Actually, I have always been envious of you as a little brother.

Wu Ming laughed: What do I have to be jealous of?

Perhaps the entire imperial court didn't know that you are actually very important to royal father.

Wu Ming frowned. Who didn't know that Yu Prince's mother was Lian Fei of the rear palace that time? It was precisely because Lian Fei was deeply doted upon by Emperor of Great Sheng that Yu Prince Wu Cunjing had the qualifications to contend against Crown Prince Wu Tian. But his son, who had been doted on by the Emperor of Great Sheng at that time, had said that he envied himself.

Sixth Brother, don't make fun of me. Who didn't know that the most doted on person in the Emperor of Great Sheng was Lady Lian? Wu Ming drank a mouthful of wine.

Who didn't know that the Emperor of Great Sheng doted on Lian Fei? The Ming Prince was only an unfavored king. There were a total of nine sons and three princesses in Emperor of Great Sheng. The reason why all of their grown up sons were conferred with the title of Duke was because they wanted to stop them from fighting for the position of Crown Prince. Only Lian Fei's son, Yu Prince, got the support of many ministers in the imperial court because of the favor of his mother.

My mother may have been doted on a little, but not as much as yours. If it wasn't for your mother's special status, you and not the son of the Deng family would have been the crown prince then.

Wu Ming didn't have much of an impression of his mother, he hadn't even seen his own mother before. It was rumored that his mother was a lowly maid in the palace. Wu Ming had always been ashamed of himself and never brought up this matter in the palace, he didn't even have any thoughts of chasing after her. He was afraid of facing this truth, afraid of knowing that he was just the son of a maid.

I've never seen her... Wu Ming's heart was very complicated, he only replied indifferently.

Your mother is the only woman who has ever been loved by the Emperor of Great Sheng.

You know her? Wu Ming's heart was ignited with hope. Now that the Emperor of Great Sheng had passed away, whether his mother was a noble imperial family or a lowly palace lady, that was not important anymore.

Have you ever heard of that legend? The legend of the Ancestor Emperor exterminating the Wing Clan. Wu Cunjing laughed.

Everyone knew of the achievements of the Ancestor Emperor.

Do you know why all your brothers shut you out?

Perhaps he had been used to it since he was young, but he didn't feel anything strange about it. After all, the palace was a cold and heartless place.

Hahahaha... The one who should have known best was the Deng family, but my mother found out. Because my mufei once served your mother, and because my mufei's looks are somewhat similar to yours, and because she was doted upon by the Emperor of Great Sheng, isn't it ironic?

Is that true? Wu Ming felt his heart begin to thump hard, the truth seemed like it was about to be revealed.

It was true that Ancestor Emperor destroyed Wing Clan and it was also true that Emperor of Great Sheng married a princess of Wing Clan. Your mother was that legendary princess of Wing Clan, so half of the blood flowing in your body was also true!

Wu Ming was silent, he was half believing and half doubting Wu Cunjing's words. He did not know that there was such a story here. Just when Wu Ming was silent, Wu Cunjing called out a Sand Bandit.

Sand Bandit was a skinny old man. From his appearance, he looked more like a civilian on the desert.

The aged and frail Sand Bandit knelt on the ground and said with an exaggerated tone: "Feng, my king, your subject, Abram greets you."

Abram sounded more like a poet reciting a poem. Wu Ming wanted to laugh when he heard it, but his many years of practice and self-restraint had forced his smile into his stomach.

Wu Cunjing pointed to Wu Ming and said: Abram, get up! This is my brother, tell my brother what you told me before, just like you told me.

Yes! My revered King of the Desert. Abram stood up, his skinny body standing straight in the middle of the cave. He began to narrate his own story. In the beginning, Wu Ming felt that it was very boring, but he very quickly stopped smiling and started to earnestly listen to the skinny old man's story.
