I am a prince in Zhutian Films

Chapter 318: Xiao Ruojin misses his brother, Ye Xiaoying chooses his master
In the twenty-third year of Mingde, winter.

It has been more than two years since Chu Zhao disappeared, and there has been no trace of him in the world, as if he had vanished.

A lot of things happened in the world during these two years, but the overall plot remained unchanged.

Xiao Se has already been to the overseas fairy mountain and returned to Tianqi City.

Besides him, there are the Four Guardians of Apocalypse.

In the east, there is the Azure Dragon and thunder without hindrance.

In the south is the Vermillion Bird, and in the south is Sikong Qianluo.

The White Tiger in the west is Ji Xue.

The north position is Xuanwu and Tanglian.

The descendants of the four guardians of Apocalypse also all appeared in Apocalypse City.

In those days, Langya King Xiao Ruofeng gathered four peerless masters to form the Four Guardians of Apocalypse to help Emperor Mingde ascend the throne. Before his death, he made an agreement with the four guardians that their descendants would protect the new heir to the throne, and the person they chose at that time was Xiao Se. Later, Xiao Ruofeng was imprisoned for treason and finally committed suicide on the execution ground. The four guardians left Apocalypse City one after another, but they did not forget this agreement.

Now that the new Four Guardians of the Weather have reunited, it is clear that the storm of Apocalypse is about to begin.

Imperial Palace, Tai'an Hall.

There were more than a dozen braziers of various sizes burning in the hall, and it was as warm as late spring.

Li Changqing, the armored Tiger Guard general, would raise his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead from time to time.

Emperor Mingde Xiao Ruojin sat at the head of the bed, looking pale, and said weakly, "Do you feel it's too hot?"

No one said anything, but they all looked up at the little girl sitting beside the bed. She was holding a needle in her hand and her eyes were cold.

The person on the bed is the Lord of Beili, but in this room, the little girl beside the bed is the owner.

The doctor is king. These four words do not apply in the imperial palace. Looking at those trembling old doctors in the Imperial Hospital, one can know that being a doctor in the emperor's family is not an easy job. However, this fearless descendant of the King of Medicine has made Emperor Mingde obedient.

Xiao Ruojin had four daughters in her life. Two of them died young, one married to Nan Jue, and the other was born with a disease and was taken to Yuelu City by Chu Ying and her husband to recuperate early on. Later, she married Baili Dongjun's younger brother. She has been living in Qiandong City ever since and he only sees her a few times a year. Therefore, he likes this little girl who is like a jade porcelain doll very much and listens to her words.

Hua Jin didn't raise his head, still fiddling with the silver needle in his hand: "Move the five braziers away."

Li Changqing was as if he had been pardoned, and immediately shouted, "Hurry up, move the brazier."

"Speak softly and don't disturb me." Hua Jin said dissatisfiedly.

Li Changqing quickly bowed his head and said, "Godly Doctor, I was too reckless."

The young man in white standing behind Hua Jin, who was responsible for carrying the medicine box, couldn't help but laugh when he saw this and said, "Master, you are so impressive."

Xiao Ruojin sat on the couch, looked at the wealthy young man in white, and said, "Little genius doctor, your disciple looks quite familiar.

Your last name is Mu?"

The young man in white quickly put down his medicine box and saluted, saying, "I am Mu Chunfeng, a disciple of the divine doctor Hua Jin. I have just registered with His Majesty."

"I'm old and don't remember much." Xiao Ruojin said with emotion: "I've seen your father, you two look alike."

"It turns out that your majesty has met my father, but I am not a member of the Qingzhou Mu family for the time being. I am just a disciple of the divine doctor Huajin."

"Shut up!"

Hua Jin glanced at him and took out a silver needle: "Your Majesty, I'm going to give you acupuncture."

Xiao Ruojin smiled bitterly: "You have given me too many injections these days. Is my illness so difficult to cure?"

Hua Jin sighed: "Your Majesty, do you know a phrase that we doctors often say?"

"What?"

"If the heart disease is not cured, all diseases will be difficult to cure." Hua Jin put down the silver needle and sighed, "Your Majesty has a heart disease, and Hua Jin can't cure it."

Xiao Ruojin was silent for a moment, and sighed: "I understand what the miracle doctor said."

"It's useless to understand. The key is to get rid of the new recruits. The person who tied the bell must untie it. Who is the person who can untie the bell that worries your majesty?"

"he died."

"Dead?" Hua Jin was stunned, then suddenly realized.

When following Anhe and Xiao Se and the others, it is inevitable to hear some stories from the past, including the story of Xiao Ruojin and Xiao Ruofeng.

Xiao Ruojin lay on the bed and nodded: "He is my best brother."

Li Changqing and Supervisor Jin Xuan looked at each other and retreated to the outer room at the same time.

The name of Langya King Xiao Ruofeng is a taboo in Tianqi City. No one else can mention it, and when His Majesty mentions it, others are not supposed to listen.

Xiao Ruojin told Hua Jin a story about his and Xiao Ruofeng's childhood.

Finally, he threw off the quilt and climbed up. Hua Jin hurried forward to support him, and heard him whisper: "Don't rush the acupuncture, I want to go out for a walk."

"It doesn't matter."

Just like that, Xiao Ruojin walked out with the support of Hua Jin.

Outside the Tai'an Palace, snow was falling heavily. Xiao Ruofeng looked at the snow and said sadly, "Back then, on a snowy night like this, he helped me ascend the throne with his sword. Later, I became the king of this country, but I could only watch him commit suicide in front of me, just because I couldn't muster the courage and was afraid of losing those vain things in my hands. He died because of me."

Hua Jin hesitated for a moment and asked, "Your Majesty, why don't you call yourself 'Gu' anymore?"

Xiao Ruojin was stunned for a moment, as if he had just noticed this detail. He thought about it and sighed softly.

“Perhaps when I think of Ruofeng, I never think of myself as an emperor, but just a brother.

A brother is never alone when he has a younger brother."

On this day, Xiao Ruojin missed Xiao Ruofeng especially.

It was not the almighty Emperor Beili Mingde, but his elder brother Xiao Ruojin, who missed his deceased brother Xiao Ruofeng.

General, Ye Mansion.

The Beili army was divided into three armies: the upper army, the middle army, and the lower army.

The commander of the upper army is called the general, the commander of the lower army is called the lower general, and only the central army is special and is called the general.

General, Ye Xiaoying.

In the past, when the Protector General of Beili, the King of Langya, Xiao Ruofeng, was resisting the Nanjue, he was followed by two generals.

A man in white clothes and silver armor, as graceful as the wind, was invincible on the battlefield and had good command of troops. Wherever he went, both the defeated enemy generals and the civilians on the battlefield admired him very much.

The other one was wearing golden armor and carrying a heavy sword. He was rough, savage and brutal. The soldiers he led were all fierce and fierce. He rewarded people based on the number of heads they took. He would not accept surrenders or capture soldiers. All enemy camps would be crushed to the ground and all enemies would be beheaded. The people of Nanjue hated him and feared him.

At that time, the King of Langya commanded the three armies of Beili, followed by the General of the State Lei Mengsha, and the third was the brutal and tyrannical General Ye Xiaoying in golden armor. Now, the two have passed away for many years, and no one in the three armies of Beili can suppress this ferocious general.

Over the years, among the three armies, as long as Ye Xiaoying opened his mouth, the other two generals had no room for negotiation.

Except for Emperor Mingde Xiao Ruojin, no one in the entire Beili could command him.

However, since Xiao Ruofeng's death, the relationship between Xiao Ruojin and Ye Xiaoying has become more and more subtle.

Ever since Xiao Se returned to Tianqi City, Ye Xiaoying has never stepped out of the house. He is either reading books at home, drinking with his son-in-law, or taking care of his little grandson.

That’s right, Ye Ruoyi and Chu Ye already have a child.

The child's name was Chu Hong, and he was the fourth of Chu Zhao's grandsons. In ancient times, Chu Hong was neither the eldest nor the legitimate son, but no one expected that he would inherit the throne of the Chu State and unify the world in the future.

Of course, this is something for later, let’s not mention it for now.

In short, Ye Xiaoying never went to look for Xiao Se once.

To outsiders, Ye Xiaoying let his daughter Ye Ru replace him, but some people don't think so.

"General, there is a visitor." The butler walked into the study and reported.

Although Ye Xiaoying looks rough, he is actually very good at deploying troops and is well versed in various military books. In addition, the general's wife, who has passed away, was born in a family of poetry and literature, so the general's mansion has a huge study.

Ye Xiaoying was reading a book quietly at the moment. He did not even raise his head when he heard the butler's report.

"not see!"

The butler hesitated for a moment and said, "General, this time the guest may not be so easy to refuse."

"Oh? Could it be the Imperial Master, or the Grand Master?" Ye Xiaoying raised his eyes and said calmly, "Even if it's Grand Master Dong Zhu, I don't want to see him if I don't want to."

Grand Tutor Dong Zhu may not give face, but Imperial Tutor Qi Tianchen still has to give some face.

After all, the national teacher is half a master to his daughter.

"It's someone from the palace, the eunuch Jin Yan, the seal-holder." The housekeeper replied, "I'm afraid His Majesty has something to say."

"No need to see or listen." Ye Xiaoying said this, but he put down the book in his hand.

Before he finished speaking, a somewhat flattering laugh was heard.

"Hello, General."

Over the years, no one has ever dared to enter the general's mansion without being summoned. Even the retired emperor of Chu State came here only after being informed. A mere eunuch dared to break into the study without permission. The housekeeper was furious.

"Eunuch, you..."

Ye Xiaoying waved his hand and interrupted, "Back off."

"Yes."

Although he was furious, the butler still retreated as he was told.

"General, I'm sorry for the offense." Jin Yan bowed his head and saluted.

Ye Xiaoying smiled and walked forward: "Of the five of you, you are the only one who looks pleasing to the eye. The other four either look like scholars, young masters of noble families, or ruffians. There is also Jin Xian, who looks prettier than a woman. That's outrageous."

Jin Yan still lowered his brows: "Then what is Jin Yan like in the eyes of the general?"

"He lowers his eyebrows and smiles in a flattering manner, like a treacherous minister." Ye Xiaoying patted Jin Yan's shoulder and said with a smile: "He looks like a eunuch."

Jin Yan lowered his head with a flattering smile on his face: "General, you are joking."

Ye Xiaoying actually laughed, then walked to his seat and sat down: "Tell me, what do you want to see me about? If it's not something very important, trespassing into the general's mansion is no small matter."

"Jin Yan came here for important matters." Eunuch Jin Yan waved his hand gently, and the door of the study closed. "Now that His Majesty is seriously ill, the three princes who were crowned as kings have all returned to Tianqi. It is only a matter of time before a new dragon-sealing scroll is written. As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a tree to inhabit. Now all parties in Tianqi City are choosing their own good masters. I would like to ask the general what your choice is?"

"You are openly provoking a party dispute." Ye Xiaoying looked at Jin Yan with a playful expression, and finally said quietly: "It is a capital crime."

Jin Yan looked calm and said calmly: "The loser will die. Wasn't it because of party struggle that Your Majesty gained the throne?"

"My daughter has already made my choice for me, Prince Yong'an Xiao Chuhe. The entire Tianqi City knows about it, and even His Majesty will not doubt it. After all, I have only two close friends in my life. One is Xiao Ruofeng, who is favored by the Sixth Prince Xiao Chuhe, and the other is Lei Mengsha, who has a son named Lei Wujie. Unfortunately, Lei Wujie is now Xiao Chuhe's best friend. Do I still need to make a choice?" Ye Xiaoying said lightly.

In fact, his initial choice was Xiao Ruofeng.

Even though Xiao Ruofeng let him down, he had no complaints.

Not only did he have no complaints, he also wanted to avenge Xiao Ruofeng and planned to overthrow the rule of the Xiao royal family.

It was not until he met Chu Ye in Wangcheng Mountain that he gave up this plan.

Now that his daughter and Chu Ye are married and have children, Ye Xiaoying has no choice at all.

Because he was born on the side of the State of Chu, after repaying Xiao Ruofeng for his kindness and after the revelation from heaven, he would leave this place.

As for whether to go to Wangcheng Mountain or Yuelu City, it depends on where my daughter and son-in-law settle.

However, he hopes to go to Yuelu City.

Firstly, Wangcheng Mountain is too quiet and it’s a bit boring.

Furthermore, the Emperor of Chu had sent him many letters, sincerely inviting him to be the president of the Military Academy.

It's really hard to refuse such a kind invitation.

Upon hearing this, Jin Yan shook his head and said with a smile: "The general's choice is between the White King, the Red King, and the Yong'an King. If it is these three, the general really has no choice."

"Hmm?" Ye Xiaoying's expression became serious: "Go on."

"But what if I give the general another choice?" Jin Yan no longer lowered his head, and his smile gradually faded: "A better choice."

"You won't tell me that the choice you gave me is Chu, right?"

It was just a joke, but Jin Yan nodded seriously: "I have to say that Chu is indeed the best choice, and the general will join Chu sooner or later, right?"

"That's right." Ye Xiaoying did not deny it.

The person he chose to be loyal to now was not Emperor Mingde, nor the person who would sit on the throne of Beili later, but Chu An who was far away in Yuelu City.

Hearing Ye Xiaoying's admission, even though Jin Yan had expected it, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Before the general enters Chu, he must make a choice. Whether it is the White King, the Red King, or the Yong'an King, they are not the best choice for the general."

"Who is the person you are talking about?" Ye Xiaoying already had some vague guesses.

"Yes, it is the one you are thinking of, General. You should know that the name on the scroll is the same as what you are thinking of, so that person is the legitimate heir."

Ye Xiaoying frowned: "Where is the scroll?"

Jin Yan shook his head and smiled, "Master named me Jin Yan so that I would be careful with my words and actions. How could I carry such an important scroll with me?"

Ye Xiaoying nodded, then shook his head: "Even if there is a scroll, it can't change everything."

"General, you joined the army at the age of sixteen, and rose from a small patrol lieutenant to the current General of Beili. No one in the three armies can compare to you. But General, your two best friends are dead. One died on the battlefield, and even his body could not return to his hometown. The other died on the long branch of his hair, and was charged with a heinous crime. Don't you want to do something for them?"

Jin Yan said slowly: "With the general's current status, even the Chu Kingdom will give the general some face. As long as the general is willing to help, after the matter is accomplished, the general will not be blocked from entering Chu. I believe the general also knows that no matter which of the three princes sits on that position, it is impossible for the general to enter Chu."

Ye Xiaoying smiled: "With the strength of my relative, even if they want to stop him, they have to be able to stop him."

Jin Yan was stunned.

He had to admit that with Chu Zhao's strength, no one could stop Ye Xiaoying from entering Chu.

"Tell me, where is he now?"

Jin Yan came back to his senses and bowed his head hurriedly: "He is now wandering on the sea. As long as the general gives an order, the troops will be dispatched to Tianqi in no time."

"It seems you have quite a few men on your hands."

Jin Yan did not deny it: "Many people are like the general, and still miss the King of Langya."

Ye Xiaoying was silent for a moment, then stood up and said in a deep voice, "Tell him that I agree, and we will never see each other again from now on."
