Chapter 44: The Meeting of the Annex
The commander of the dragoon regiment did not let Yun Yi and the others wait here for a long time.
After a while, I saw Chu Xiuxian walking in accompanied by an old man, his little hand was tightly held by the old man next to him, and there were tears in the corners of his eyes, but there was a smile on his face. Yun Yi only glanced at him, then relieved himself and turned his gaze to the old man. The old man's figure was not tall, but a little rickety, his eyes were cloudy, his beard was white, no matter how he looked at it, he looked like he was about to die, but Yun Yi keenly felt a sense of oppression.
Like him, Yun Luo and Feng Qingyun next to him both felt this pressure, and looked at the old man with fear and caution.
But there is one exception.
Xilu Feisi just glanced at the old man when they first came in, and then immediately waved her little hand to greet Chu Xiuxian: "Xiao Xianxian, come here, the things here are delicious, come and taste it." ”
"Sister Xiaoxi......" Chu Xiuxian immediately ran over with a smile, and the old man next to him wanted to hold it, but after only hesitating for a moment, he let go of his hand and looked at Chu Xiuxian, with kindness and a smile in his expression.
Sitting next to Xilufis, Chu Xiuxian's small mouth was immediately stuffed into a cloud cake with a rich aroma. How could Chu Xiuxian, who was the prince, eat less of this kind of thing, and he didn't eat it for Xi Lu Feisi, who was born poor, among the others, Yun Yi and Yun Luo's family backgrounds were not bad when they were children, and Feng Qingyun was a member of the Chu and Tang nobles.
Chu Xiuxian was still very happy to eat the pastry, and at this time, the old man spoke: "Xiuxian, don't you want to introduce your friends?" ”
"Hmm." Chu Xiuxian immediately stood up, pointed at Yun Yi and said, "He is Yun ...... Belch. ”
As soon as he opened his mouth, Chu Xiuxian suddenly remembered that the two of them had painted makeup and changed their names and surnames, but he didn't want to deceive the old man, so he opened his mouth for a while, his little face was flushed, and he didn't know what to say. Yun Yi smiled slightly, glanced at Xi Lu Feisi, and then the two of them took off the disguise below, and then nodded to Chu Xiu. He knew that it was useless to disguise any longer, Qin Shou and Chu Xiuling were already dead, and the Dragon Slayer Guild's forces in Chu Tang had fallen into the hands of Yun Luo. And Chang'an looks at the current situation, if nothing else, it should fall into the hands of this old man.
So, camouflage is no longer of any use.
"Great-grandfather, this is Uncle Yunyi, this beautiful sister is named Xilufes, she is Uncle Yunyi's adjutant, she has always taken good care of me, and they and another uncle rescued me together." Saying that, Chu Xiuxian looked at Yun Luo and Feng Qingyun again, and hesitated: "The two of them...... I don't know it yet. ”
"In Xia Yu Jianmei, I have seen the old gentleman."
"In Xiafeng Qingyun, I have seen the old gentleman."
Yun Luo and Feng Qingyun spoke at the same time, but Feng Qingyun used his real name, while Yun Luo still used a fake name. However, her identity is too complicated, so it's better not to let too many people know. After Feng Qingyun finished speaking, he glanced at Yun Yi, his eyes were complicated, and he seemed to understand that the person in front of him was the Yun Yi who defeated him back then.
The old man nodded slightly, the expression on his face did not change much, but Yun Yi could still find that when he introduced his name, the old man glanced at himself more.
Afterwards, the old man introduced himself: "The old man's name is Chu Yuelan, and he is currently the commander of the mecha dragoon. Maybe you are not familiar with me, I can remind you that Emperor Yue Han, that is, Chu Tianyun's grandfather, he is my younger brother. ”
Under these words, including Yun Yi, Yun Luo and Feng Qingyun, they were all moved.
Emperor Yue Han, also known as Chu Yue Han, ascended the throne as emperor two hundred years ago. And this emperor's martial arts cultivation is also very profound, and after reigning for more than 120 years, he gave way to his youngest son, that is, Chu Tianyun's father. At that time, his eldest son and second son had all died. After reigning for thirty years, Chu Tianyun's father gave up the throne to Chu Tianyun. Chu Tianyun's emperor was not a short time, and it took more than forty years before he died in that accident.
And the old man named Chu Yuelan in front of him turned out to be the emperor's elder brother!
Feng Qingyun immediately bowed his hand respectfully and said, "Dare to ask the old gentleman how long he lives?" ”
Chu Yuelan glanced at him and smiled: "Too much time has passed, and the old man is also a little confused, probably more than three hundred and twenty years old." ”
Characters from 300 years ago!
For a while, the three of Yunyi were immediately suppressed.
After a while, Yun Luo suddenly spoke: "Mr. Chu, the little woman has something unclear, although she is a little presumptuous, but I hope the old gentleman can answer it." ”
"Just say it, the old man won't care." Chu Yuelan said generously.
Only then did Yun Luo speak: "The little woman once heard the master mention that a martial artist, when his martial arts cultivation reaches the fifth level of the day after tomorrow, supplemented by some high-tech technology and the effect of medicine, can live to be about two hundred years old; If you reach the innate master, you can easily have a lifespan of more than 300 years; And once it enters the innate level 5 or above, its lifespan can at least double again. But why did the old gentleman look so old, only 320 years old? ”
After listening to him, Yun Yi's heart chuckled. He also knew the relationship between martial arts and lifespan, but seeing that Chu Yuelan's cultivation had obviously reached the level five or above of the innate level, he was so old, there must be something unspeakable, and it might even be something he didn't want people to know. If his sister opened this mouth, it might make Chu Yuelan angry.
His worries were a little redundant, Chu Yuelan didn't get angry, just showed a touch of bitterness.
"It's not that you can't tell people, you are all friends of Xiuxian, plus the old man also asks for you, and they are all masters of martial arts cultivation, so you don't have to take a detour." Saying that, Chu Yuelan first sighed, as if he was reminiscing, and then seemed to be smiling bitterly.
"When the old man was a prince, and he had a rare cultivation talent, he hit the ninth level of the acquired high level when he was less than twenty years old, and at that time, he shocked the entire Chang'an system, and was called a genius ......" Saying this, he showed a strange look on his face, glanced at Yun Yi, immediately retracted his gaze, and said: "Cough, in front of you, how can the old man be called a genius." ”
Even though he said this, the four people sitting below understood the point.
Chu Yuelan didn't have a divine stone.
Without the assistance of the Divine Stone, and without taking those medicines, he can reach the last level of the three major barriers of the day after tomorrow before the age of twenty, which is enough to be called a genius. And among the few of them, only Feng Qingyun has such a talent, but he is also inferior to the old man, because he has taken a lot of drugs and has improved a lot, although his cultivation has gone up, but in the same level of battle, if the combat experience is similar, he will inevitably be slightly inferior.
As for the other three people, Yun Yi got a super divine stone very early to have his current cultivation, and although Yun Luo and Xilufesi's talents are not bad, they are not much higher, but they rely on a low-grade divine stone, and the most important thing is their own efforts, in the environment of the Dragon Slaying Society, which is driven by survival, they have to work hard to make progress.
Maybe...... Only Li Lingfeng can slightly surpass the old man in terms of talent.
Chu Yuelan continued: "...... At that time, I was a prince, with superhuman talent, so I was naturally extremely proud, and I rarely looked down on others. But because of this, it has fallen into trouble. Later, after I entered the innate level, I left the Chang'an Department to travel to various places, and at the same time challenged the famous young masters from all over the world. Along the way, he passed through more than 20 countries, stepped on hundreds of galaxies, and challenged thousands of young masters, without defeat......"
Listening to the old man talk about his experience back then, Yun Yi and Feng Qingyun suddenly felt their blood boiling. This kind of free travel, wanton challenges, and meeting countless friends is indeed the most romantic thing for young people like them.
"But......" Chu Yuelan showed a wry smile: "It is precisely because he has never met an opponent that the old man is too proud, so he doesn't take others seriously." It wasn't until I was traveling for several years that I was about to return to Chang'an, when I came across a shipwrecked spaceship in the Republic of Leland, and among the people rescued from the ship was a very young man, who claimed to have just turned eighteen years old, dressed very badly, and carrying a woman with him. At first, I didn't pay attention to it, until I saw that there was actually a personal mecha among the goods he was carrying, and I couldn't help but challenge him. And he doesn't seem to want to fight me, even if I offer to give him a million, he won't do it. I didn't know why, but I wanted to have a good time with him, and for this purpose, I went out in front of the public to tease his girlfriend......"
What happened next, several people can guess.
“…… Yes, the young man was furious, but he didn't make a move, but the woman was so angry after being molested by me that she was about to duel me at that time. ”
Everyone was stunned, they didn't expect such a thing to happen, and they were suddenly a little curious.
“…… I didn't agree at first, but the young man said that his girlfriend was even better than him and a year younger. I thought he was bragging, and I agreed without much thought. The venue was chosen in a nearby asteroid field, and the battle began that I will never forget. ”
"You're defeated?" Yun Luo suddenly raised his head and asked softly.
Chu Yuelan nodded with a wry smile and said, "That's right, I lost, and I lost badly." Not only was the personal mecha tailored for me by the chief mecha designer of Weilong Group seriously damaged, but even my own body was seriously injured. None of this mattered, the important thing was that my self-confidence took a serious blow and I have been in a state of collapse ever since. ”
Yun Yi understood the old man's mentality very well. It is conceivable that at that time, he should have been twenty-three or fourteen years old, conceited of the world's invincible talent, and challenged the young master in front of him without a single defeat, but he suffered a fiasco at the hands of a woman who was less than eighteen years old, and did not commit suicide in shame on the spot, which is already good.
"Since then, I've been in a state of flux, and I've lost my temper and beaten up the people around me. In just one year, more than fifty of my attendants were killed. Chu Yuelan said heavily: "Because of this, my father and other brothers have alienated me, and my temper is getting worse and worse. The drastic change in my state of mind actually caused my martial arts cultivation to fall to the acquired level. Later, after the enlightenment of the master, I rekindled my fighting spirit and worked hard. ”
"But when my cultivation reached innate again, I found that the impact of the fall of my cultivation would actually be reflected in my lifespan." As he spoke, he looked at his thin hands and said helplessly: "Although my current martial arts cultivation has reached the innate fifth level, if I can't break through to the innate sixth level, I have at most ten years of yang longevity left." ”
When the four of them heard this, they were stunned.
They didn't expect that after the martial arts cultivation reached the innate level, there would be a danger of falling. I didn't expect that after falling, it would cause such serious consequences. After pondering, the four of them immediately understood that Chu Yuelan told them about this in order to give them a wake-up call in this regard, so as not to have such unacceptable consequences when they encountered an important blow in the future.
Although Chu Xiuxian was still young, he understood something to some extent, and when he heard the old man say this, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he threw himself into the arms of the old man who was more than three hundred years old and cried bitterly.
"What are you crying about, you will be the one who wants to be the emperor in the future, what do you look like when you cry!"
Under the old man's reprimand, Chu Xiuxian stopped crying with a sob.
But when he cried like this, he also woke up the people who were in deep thought. Yun Yi immediately bowed his hand and said, "Thank you for the kindness of the old gentleman's teaching." ”
"Hehe......" The old man smiled and said, "It's just some prevention, seeing you young heroes, the old man doesn't want you to be ruined like I did back then." Forget it, what are you doing here, I had some exchanges with Xiuxian before, and I know that before he died, Dump Yun had handed over the evidence representing the emperor's position to Xiuxian, which means that Xiuxian is already a rightful prince. And Chu Xiuling wanted to kill Xiuxian before, which was a battle within the royal family, and he should be punished for his crime. Therefore, Yun boy, if you attack Chu Xiuling, the old man will no longer pursue it. ”
Yun Yi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, there was nothing he was most worried about when he came here, and now that the matter was gone, he could certainly breathe a sigh of relief.
Chu Yuelan continued: "Staying here, in addition to thanking you for taking care of Xiuxian, I have one more thing to ask for. He paused slightly, and his expression gradually became serious: "My Chu family has been controlling the Tang Empire for thousands of years, and it must not be broken here." The old man only has a lifespan of ten years, and now that Chu and Tang are divided into three parts of the world, there is not even a star field in the hands of the Chu family. Yun boy, I know that you are here on behalf of Lin Jiaoyang, I know very well Marshal Lin's loyalty, it was just Chu Xiuling's ignorance before, pro-villain, Yuanxian Chen, who pushed Chu Tang to the brink of extinction. Now that he is dead, the old man is here to ask you for one thing, I hope you can persuade Marshal Lin to return to Chang'an. Xiuxian is still young, and he must be assisted by virtuous ministers, and in this country, only a loyal person like Lin Jiaoyang can take on this responsibility. ”
This is to support the orphans.
Yun Yi secretly screamed in his heart, but he understood very well that Lin Jiaoyang, who was perhaps a great loyal minister in the eyes of most people, was probably no longer the Lin Jiaoyang of the past.
However, Yunyi will not refuse such a thing. Being able to capture the Chang'an Department without blood, isn't that exactly what Lin Jiaoyang wants? As for the future, with Lin Jiaoyang's means, he is not worried about anything. Even if Lin Jiaoyang regained his allegiance to the Chu and Tang royal families, as long as he still had the imperial army in his hands, it would not have much impact on Yun Yi.
"Marshal Lin's loyalty to Chu Tang can be seen by the sun and the moon!" Yun Yi said righteously: "I am willing to bring the old man's wishes to Marshal Lin." ”
Chu Yuelan smiled and nodded, seemingly satisfied.
There was no change in Xilu Fess and Feng Qingyun next to him, only Yun Luo glanced at Yun Yi strangely, and said secretly in his heart: It seems that this old man doesn't know anything about politics at all, so it's obvious that Chu Tang will give it to others.
Indeed, she guessed correctly, Chu Yuelan was only obsessed with martial arts and mecha all his life, and for political things, he could almost be equated with an idiot.
"Miss Yu, Mr. Feng."
Only then did Chu Yuelan set his eyes on the two of them.
Now, the identities of Yun Luo and Feng Qingyun are a little embarrassing. Except for the Songzhou Star Domain and half of the Hanzhou Star Domain under their control, the other territories of Chu and Tang have been unified, and as the actual controller of this half star domain, Yun Luo represents the Dragon Slayer Society, and he must be unwilling to return it to the Chu Tang royal family generously.
Thinking of this question, the two immediately showed a look of vigilance.
Chu Yuelan sighed slightly, and said slowly: "The old man has lived for more than three hundred years, and he knows some things more or less. The forces represented by the two behind them are indeed not something that I, Chu Tang, can deal with. I know that it is completely impossible for the two of you to return this half-star field. Even if you leave the two here, someone else will take over. So, I just want to ask the two of you to promise the old man one thing. ”
"What's the matter, please tell me."
"This half-star field can be handed over to you for autonomy, but whether it is external or internal, it must abide by the principle of one Chu Tang, and it must not be split!"
Yun Luo only hesitated slightly, and then agreed to this matter.
For them, it doesn't hurt a lot, but it does a lot of good. Militarily, they did not need to face the attack of Chu Tang's army and were tired of coping. Economically, there will still be countless large companies across the star domain in Chu and Tang that will operate normally, bringing in lucrative tax revenues. Politically, however, it can be completely independent and free from anyone's interference.
For Chu Yuelan, this is also something that there is no way to do.
He knew very well how powerful the forces behind Yun Luo were. If the two sides go to war, he has absolutely no confidence.
If the enemy was the fleet of the New Americans, even if there were two or three hundred thousand troops, he would not have the slightest fear.
But that mysterious organization......
After Yun Luo agreed, several people here showed relaxed looks, and the conversations between them were relatively harmonious, but most of them were about martial arts cultivation and mecha battles, and there was an innate fifth-level, experienced master here, Yun Yi, Yun Luo and Feng Qingyun were all smart people, so they naturally would not let go of this opportunity and asked questions one after another. Chu Yuelan also had no reservations, and was willing to explain these problems to them. However, compared with Yun Luo and Feng Qingyun, Yun Yi, the representative of Lin Jiaoyang, the "great loyal minister", has received the most answers and the most detailed.
As for Syrophys, she never seemed to care about these things. In comparison, she is more willing to play with Chu Xiuxian.
After chatting for a while, Yun Luo suddenly thought of a question, so he asked: "By the way, senior, do you know who the person who defeated you back then?" ”
Yun Yi had also thought about this question before, and he guessed that this man and woman were nothing more than people from the four major organizations. But which one it was, he didn't know.
"The old man doesn't know." Chu Yuelan was a little fascinated and muttered: "Their origins, identities, everything is a mystery. It is absolutely impossible for the Republic of Leland to have such a figure. Later, I used countless people and funds, but I didn't find anything. ”
Saying this, Chu Yuelan suddenly glanced at Yun Yi, and his expression seemed a little strange.
"I can only find out, that young man, surnamed Yun ......"
