I am a prince in Zhutian Films

Chapter 242 The Most Powerful Thing in the World

Thousands of miles away to the northwest, there is a dilapidated temple in the snow.

The moonlight is very beautiful tonight. The full moon is in the sky, and the Milky Way stretches from the northeast to the south, like a starry torrent, rushing for billions of miles.

Chu Zhao's family of four lay in a row on the roof of the dilapidated temple and watched the stars.

This was suggested by Chu Nanyue. She lay beside her father, crossed her legs, and said with a leisurely smile: "I remember when we were little, you liked to take us to the roof to watch the stars and tell us stories. Dad, can you tell us a story?"

Chu Zhao chuckled: "At that time, you were very disgusted with the fairy tales I told you."

"That's because you're young and ignorant."

"I haven't seen how sensible you are now." Chu Zhao snorted and said unhappily, "Are you really sure of that little bald guy?"

Chu Nanyue hummed and said nothing.

"What is his plan?"

"He said he wanted to hold a ceremony at the temple where Master Wangyou once became a monk, and then he would come back to Yuelu City with me." Chu Nanyue sat up, hugged her father's arm, and said coquettishly, "Dad, please promise me, please."

"Don't shake it, just don't regret it."

"I don't regret it, thank you, Dad!" Chu Nanyue was immediately delighted, and then angrily said: "But, Dad, can you control my second brother? He wants to take the little bald man to Tianwaitian."

"I don't care about your siblings' affairs."

After hearing this, Yue Kang laughed: "Did you hear that? Dad doesn't care."

"Humph, I have two masters, Lawless and Heavenly. You can't take the little bald head away from me."

Seeing that the brother and sister were about to quarrel again, Chu Zhao said unhappily, "I haven't finished my words yet, what are you two quarreling about? Second brother, you and your daughter-in-law have been together for several years, you should give her a legitimate status. You and your daughter-in-law should return to Yuelu City early tomorrow morning and ask the eldest brother and others to help with the wedding. We can't neglect our daughter-in-law."

Yue Kang smiled and nodded, "Dad, I understand. Don't worry, I will definitely give Yueyue a grand wedding."

"Well, it's good that you understand. Do you have anything to say about the wedding, daughter-in-law?"

Yue Ji didn't expect that she still had things to do, so she quickly stood up from Yue Kang's arms and said respectfully, "Dad, I will follow your arrangements."

Chu Zhao sat up, raised his hand to press it, and said with a smile: "Don't be so restrained, there are not so many rules in our family, just do it as you like."

Yue Kang also sat up, pulled Yue Ji down and sat down beside him, and said softly: "That's right, don't look at my father as the emperor, in fact, he is very casual in private, he doesn't follow the rules on weekdays, and is often scolded by my mother."

"Get lost, you have no manners."

Yue Kang didn't care about his father's ridicule and scolding. He suddenly said seriously, "Dad, this is what I think. Yueyue is an orphan. After returning to Yuelu City, I plan to let her find a godparent. This way, no one will look down on her."

"Who dares to look down on my daughter-in-law, Chu Zhao?"

Yue Kang was startled, and immediately gave a thumbs up and said, "Dad, what you said is very domineering."

Chu Zhao rolled his eyes and looked at his daughter-in-law: "Whether to acknowledge him as your godparents or not, make your own decision. Don't listen to your husband. His mother and I didn't teach him well, so I'll have to trouble you to discipline him in the future."

"Dad, Yuekang is fine." Yue Ji said with a blushing face.

"As long as you are satisfied, that's fine." Chu Zhao smiled and said to his son, "After we return to Yuelu, let your elder brother make you a prince, and you guys..."

Yue Kang interrupted, "Wait a minute, Dad, didn't you say that our Chu Kingdom doesn't make the prince the king?"

"I won't make the prince a king, but I'm not the emperor anymore, so what kind of prince are you?" Chu Zhao said unhappily, "Of course, the prince is just a title. If you don't serve as an official in the court, you won't get any salary."

Yue Kang nodded: "I know, our Chu family doesn't keep useless people, Dad, don't worry, I can support my wife and children."

Chu Zhao hummed with satisfaction: "It's good that you know. The throne is given to your eldest brother. He doesn't really want to sit on it, and your brothers don't want it either. If you are interested..."

Yue Kang interrupted Chu Zhao and shook his head, "No, I don't mind. The throne should go to my eldest brother. He's fine as long as he sits there."

On the surface, the emperor looked glamorous and powerful, but in fact... the brothers who were conscripted by Chu Zhao early on knew very well how tiring it was to be an emperor.

In their father’s words: Dogs are not even fit to be emperors!
Of course, being a tyrant is a very happy and carefree life.

But now that you have sat on the throne, you should consider the people under your rule.

You cannot just enjoy the power and glory brought by the emperor without assuming the responsibilities and obligations that the emperor should bear.

The education they received since childhood prevented them from becoming a tyrant.

Therefore, it is better to leave the hard and tiring job of being an emperor to the eldest brother.

After all, he is the eldest brother and should share the worries of his younger brothers.

Although Chu Zhao knew that his son did not want to be emperor, he still felt unhappy that his son despised the empire he had built.

"You're so lazy, forget it."

Yue Kang said with a smile: "It's better to die of laziness than to die of exhaustion. Dad, I'd rather die of laziness."

Chu Zhao choked, and it took him a long time to calm down the urge to beat his son: "The throne is given to your eldest brother, and the family property is divided equally, enough for you to live a life of worry-free food and clothing. When you go back, find Huai En to hand it over. You brothers are all the same. After you get married, I will no longer care about you, go wherever you like."

Yue Kang smiled again and asked, "Dad, do I not need to care about that outer world?"

Chu Zhao was silent for a moment, then said, "Tianwaitian belonged to your grandfather. Your grandfather passed it on to Baili Dongjun, who then gave it to Ye Dingzhi. It has nothing to do with our Chu family. How come, after letting you manage it for a few years, you really treat Tianwaitian as your own family business?"

After hearing this, Yue Kang raised his head and looked at his sister with a proud look on his face.

Chu Nanyue was anxious: "Dad, how can you let the little bald guy take over Tianwaitian? I don't agree!"

"How could you disagree? His father Ye Dingzhi is the legitimate successor to Tianwai Tian, ​​so the little bald guy is the legitimate heir." Chu Zhao said, and was silent for a moment. Finally, he said thoughtfully: "As for whether the little bald guy wants to take over Tianwai Tian, ​​that is his choice. I will not interfere. The little bald guy can choose not to, but we cannot not give him the chance."

"father……"

Chu Zhao interrupted him loudly, "There is no room for negotiation on this matter. From now on, your second brother will not have to worry about the affairs of Tianwai Tian. He will just be my son, Chu Zhao. As for how he will end up, it all depends on his own ability."

"Dad, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down." Yue Kang smiled happily and patted his chest.

Chu Zhao curled his lips and said, "I have raised you to this age, married you off and gave you children, and provided you with food and clothing for the rest of your life. I have fulfilled my responsibilities and obligations as a father. It doesn't matter whether you disappoint me in the future or not. What's important is not to disappoint your wife and children, and not to make your wife regret following you."

It's obvious that Dad has made up his mind and you can't get any advantage from him.

Chu Nanyue jumped off the roof angrily, while Yue Kang nodded heavily and held Yue Ji's hand tightly.

Seeing this scene, Chu Zhao also jumped off the roof. As an old man who was already a grandfather, he did not want to disturb the young couple enjoying their romantic time under the moonlight.

Yue Kang embraced Yue Ji, laid down and said softly, "Just like what Little Moon said, when we were little, my father loved to take us to the roof to watch the stars and tell stories. But at that time, we didn't like his stories very much. We preferred to listen to the happy enmity in the martial arts world, but my father didn't like to tell martial arts stories.

Grandpa Zhao An said that this is because I suffered too much when I was a child and saw too much ugliness from people in the underworld. He is very disappointed with this underworld, so he doesn’t like to tell stories about it. "

At the end, Yue Kang asked, "Yueyue, in your eyes, what kind of place is Jianghu?"

Yue Ji snuggled in his arms, thought about it seriously, and replied: "It is a place where people kill and are killed."

This answer... is very consistent with the identity of Tsukihime Killer.

Yue Kang nodded and said slowly: "My father always said that there is nothing good in the martial arts world. The so-called martial arts world is actually no different from the imperial court, with only endless ambitions. He has a very bad impression of this martial arts world, but he also told us that everyone has their own martial arts world, so I chose to travel this martial arts world."

"Are you satisfied with this world?"

Yue Kang smiled faintly: "In my imagination, the Jianghu should be about young men, fine wine, flowers and horses, singing under the moon and flowers, but after I have experienced the Jianghu, I found that all these need money and strength to support them.

This Jianghu is just like what my father said, it is just a place full of ambitions, but in my opinion, this Jianghu is still very good, because I met you in this Jianghu, which is the happiest thing in my life. "

Yue Ji tightened her arms around Yue Kang, snuggled in his arms, and smiled happily...

Ruined temple, backyard.

The corpses and dead horses in the yard had been cleaned up, leaving only a faint trace of blood.

Looking at Tang Lian who was waiting beside the carriage, Chu Zhao smiled and said, "You are really dedicated to your duties. Go and have a rest. I'll watch over you here."

After saying that, he jumped up and landed on the roof of the car as lightly as a feather.

Tang Lian hesitated to speak, but finally cupped her hands and said, "Thank you for your help, Senior."

Chu Zhao waved his hands and closed his eyes.

Tang Lian returned to the bonfire in the temple. Sikong Qianluo, who had fallen asleep, suddenly opened his eyes and whispered, "Brother, aren't you afraid that my master will take the coffin?" "Even if it's as you said, who can stop him? Besides, Senior Chu is such a great man, why would he care about these mundane things? Not to mention that the things in the coffin are related to Senior Chu's family."

After Tang Lian finished speaking, she sat down cross-legged and closed her eyes.

Sikong Qianluo was stunned for a moment, and then he sneaked into the backyard like a thief.

"Master, are you cold up there?"

Sikong Qianluo stood under the carriage and asked on tiptoe.

"I'm not your master, don't yell."

"You are my master."

Looking at Sikong Qianluo who jumped onto the roof of the carriage, Chu Zhao shook his head and said, "Whether I want to take you as my apprentice or not, I have to wait until I meet your father, Sikong Changfeng."

"Why would I want to see him? My dad is just a boring old man."

Sikong Qianluo imitated Chu Zhao and sat cross-legged beside him. In an instant, he felt as if a spring breeze was blowing, dispelling all the coldness around him. He couldn't help but marvel at it.

"Master, what kind of Kung Fu do you practice? It's so warm around you."

"Didn't your father tell you not to ask about other people's kung fu casually?" Chu Zhao said, moving to the side and putting some distance between himself and Sikong Qianluo.

Sikong Qianluo noticed his movements, curled his lips and said, "My father never told me this. He is very busy all day long, so he has no time to take care of me."

Chu Zhao said "oh" and didn't intend to continue speaking.

The little girl didn't dwell on this question, and seemed to just want to use it to start a new topic. Since Chu Zhao didn't want to talk, she didn't ask any further questions and knocked on the roof of the carriage.

"Master, do you know what is in the coffin?"

"I know. Coffins are used to hold people."

"who?"

Chu Zhao sighed: "You can find out if you open it and take a look yourself, if you are not afraid of being punished by your senior brother."

Sikong Qianluo shrank his neck, not knowing what he was thinking of.

Although her senior brother seems to be a good guy at ordinary times, he is actually very serious. Once he starts to care about something, no one can pull him back.

"Humph, if you don't want to watch it, then don't watch it. What's the big deal?"

Sikong Qianluo snorted, moved to the side of the carriage, stretched his straight and slender legs out of the roof, and kicked them briskly twice.

"Master, are you really the emperor of Chu? Are you about the same age as my father?"

"Yes, it's genuine."

"Is Chu fun?"

"It's okay. You can go and have a look when you have time."

"My father won't let me go far away."

Sikong Qianluo was stunned, then started laughing again.

"Master, I heard that you are very powerful. Who is more powerful, you or my father?"

Chu Zhao thought for a moment and said, "It depends on what you are talking about. If we only talk about martial arts, the three city lords of your Xueyue City combined are no match for me."

"Humph, everyone can brag. Do you know how powerful our three city lords of Xueyue City are? They are the famous Wine Immortal, Sword Immortal, and Spear Immortal."

Chu Zhao smiled and said nothing.

Sikong Qianluo's eyes rolled and an expression of sudden enlightenment appeared on his face.

"Master, I get it. Your best skill is bragging. You are not good at all. Unless you show me some skills, as long as you can break the gun technique my father taught me, I will believe that you are better than my father."

"Little girl, your method of provoking me is too clumsy." Chu Zhao shook his head and smiled: "But you are right, the most powerful skill in the world is really the mouth."

"Mouth?" Sikong Qianluo looked confused.

Chu Zhao nodded: "Yes, the most powerful thing in this world is the mouth."

Countless facts have proved that talking is the most powerful skill in the world.

But it was obvious that Sikong Qianluo didn't understand the joke.

"don't know."

"Think about it, people can turn the dead into the living, turn white into black, three people can make a tiger, and they can say sweet things but have a sharp tongue... With just one mouth, they can make you happy and willing to give everything.

You can't even hold your head up high with just your mouth, and you can't even hold your head up high with just your mouth. Not only can you kill someone, but you can also destroy their heart.

Just a few words can sow discord between two people, create rifts between affectionate lovers and blood-related fathers and sons, and even turn them into enemies.

Look, the most powerful thing in the world, isn’t it the mouth?
All weapons can kill people, and you can see and touch them. Even if it is difficult to defend against hidden arrows, you can still see the arrows on the corpse.

But look at your brother Tang Lian, who was escorting something unknown to anyone along the way. So many masters, assassins, and people came one after another, and died in obscure ways. "

From the passing of old monk Wangyou in Hanshui Temple to your senior brother taking on this mission, it should have been a secret, so why did it become known to the world?

It's nothing more than someone secretly fanning the flames.

Once the rumor started, things took a completely different turn.

Some people think that this is peerless martial arts, some people think that it is incredible wealth. No matter which one it is, in this process, were those people killed because of a mouth that spread rumors?

Moreover, these people never thought they were killed by a mouth until they died. "

Sikong Qianluo thought Chu Zhao was talking nonsense at first, but as he listened, he felt a chill all over his body.

If you think about it carefully, these seemingly nonsense words actually contain a lot of truth.

"Then do you know who is fueling this?"

Chu Zhao nodded, but did not answer. He simply reached out and pushed Sikong Qianluo off the roof of the carriage.

"Okay, it's getting late. You should go to bed early. Staying up late is not good for a girl's skin."

Sikong Qianluo, who was pushed off the carriage, suddenly felt the surroundings become colder, much colder than before, making her shrink her body unconsciously.

"Are you cold?"

Sikong Qianluo shrank his body, rubbed his arms with his hands, and shivered: "Yeah, it's so cold."

"Oh, the Heart Technique of the Fire Array, start!"

Chu Zhao made a gesture with his fingers, and a formation appeared out of thin air.

In an instant, the entire dilapidated temple became warm as spring.

Tang Lian and Xiao Se in the temple opened their eyes at the same time. In the dim, mottled firelight, they looked at each other, laughed and shook their heads.

"Using the Taoist secret method of the Lihuo Formation Heart Technique to keep warm, I think only my uncle can do it."

Tang Lian smiled and said, "It's both for warmth and peace of mind. Senior Chu is really a considerate person."

Xiao Se did not answer and turned to look at Lei Wujie.

I saw that he had rolled down from the haystack with an innocent smile on his face. He smacked his lips from time to time and muttered some dishes, which showed that the dream was delicious.

Xiao Se laughed speechlessly and cursed: "This idiot has a really big heart."

During this journey, he had never seen Lei Wujie look sad, and he was truly envious.

Tang Lian smiled, stood up, carried Lei Wujie to the haystack, and lay down beside him: "After such a long time, I can finally get a good sleep, go to sleep!"

Night, more and more quiet.
