girl, you're wrong

Chapter 232
After the family meeting, Cheng Jinyang came out of the meeting room and let out a long breath.

He suddenly felt an uncontrollable sadness, as if the second uncle and the others had died in vain.

Ok.

Though thinking about it carefully, at least from agreeing to join the military adventure project to Yu Yuangui's re-enlistment today, the god capital Cheng's has indeed spent a safe time, allowing the clansmen who were exhausted in the war to breathe.

Although things like death and government are inevitable, and there is no longer the Cheng family, the capital of the gods, who have no fifth-rank supernatural powers, it really needs more radical output of loyalty to maintain the status of the gentry.

Although the second uncle and the others were willing to sacrifice for the family, even after learning that Taicheng had now repented, Huaiyan Yuexian did not blame himself for his original decision.

but……

Cheng Jinyang felt as if a fire was suffocating in his heart, ready to spurt out along his throat at any moment.He wanted to find a place to vent, even if it was simply yelling.

However, reason told him that there was no point in doing so.

He is the patriarch of the Cheng family in the god capital, so he should put aside any personal feelings and look at the problem from the perspective of pure interests.

but.

Ugh.

It felt like it was going to blow up.

"What's the matter with you?" Qingqing's voice sounded from the side.

"I want to kill people." Cheng Jinyang said.

"Kill who?"

"Kill some demons... or something."

"Fool." Qingqing said with a smile, "It can be seen that you have been under a lot of pressure recently."

"But killing...is not a suitable way to decompress, how about you learn to cook with me? At least washing fruits and cutting vegetables can really calm down."

"Cooking is fine. But, 'Killing is not an appropriate way to decompress', it's strange coming out of your mouth."

"Is it strange? But I think I am most qualified to say this." Chu Qingqing said with a smile, "Escaping from reality by killing is essentially an escape. Because I am still deeply involved, I don't want you to follow I'm stuck together."

"Jinyang, you've put too much pressure on yourself recently. Not everything can be done quickly by desperately. If you force yourself to bear an unbearable burden, the final result will only be to crush yourself."

"Wow, you can be so gentle?" Cheng Jinyang turned pale with shock, "Could this be the so-called cute contrast?"

So, when she hugged me from behind while sleeping last night, she also saw that I was too stressed recently, so she comforted me in this way?Damn, suddenly there is a light of motherhood emerging, Qingqing, don't add a character to yourself anymore!
"What is contrasting cuteness?" Chu Qingqing said angrily, "I'm also a girl after all, okay? Isn't it normal to be considerate?"

"Well, thank you for your enlightenment." Cheng Jinyang said sincerely.

"So you feel better now?"

"It's barely better. If I can eat the delicious lunch cooked by Qingqing, I think I can fully recover."

"Don't even think about it!" Chu Qingqing said with a sneer, "In your own family land, let your cooks do it for you!"

"It makes me sad, so the consolation just now was just polite words?" Cheng Jinyang covered his chest in disbelief.

"...What do you want for lunch?" Miss Qingqing expressed that she couldn't bear it.

"Shrimp with egg and black pepper steak?"

"can."

Chu Qingqing turned around and took a few steps, and then heard Cheng Jinyang questioning behind him:
"Hey, Qingqing... are you okay recently?"

She was silent for a moment, lowering her eyelids:

"fine."

"Then last night..."

"It was an accident."

Accident?
Watching Miss Qingqing leave, Cheng Jinyang stood silently for a while and shook his head.

------

Chu Qingqing cooked the food herself, and the food was really delicious, not to mention Cheng Jinyang, even Yang Wangshu almost swallowed his tongue, wishing to take off his mask and feast on it.

After lunch, his mood also improved, and he began to seriously study the intelligence materials on the front line of Jiangning District.

However, in the afternoon, another piece of news interrupted his good mood.

Tianluo caught the rebels alive on the front line, and it was Cheng Yizhou, the eldest son of his uncle Cheng Qingxin.

The other party seemed to have gone crazy, and he resisted desperately when he was caught, and several Tian Luo from the family were slightly injured because of this.

Of course, this matter is very wrong, because Cheng Yizhou is the same age as him, and his bloodline level should be only rank nine at this time, Cheng Qingxin should never send him to the battlefield anyway... What does it mean to be crazy?
When he came to the family dungeon, Cheng Jinyang saw that Cheng Yizhou was firmly trapped in the restraint uniform of the mental hospital, his mouth was stuffed with a mouth ball to prevent suicide by biting his tongue, and he was wearing a brain development helmet on his head.

"Since he was captured, he has been self-harming and even committing suicide. We can only inject him with sedatives to restrict his movements, and then confirm the situation with him in the virtual environment developed by the brain."

Cheng Yuexian's face was pale, and he said with difficulty:

"At present, it seems that he has been brainwashed."

"Brainwashing?" Cheng Jinyang was silent for a moment, and he had already guessed the answer.

"So, what about the others?"

long silence.

"Judging from the information on the battlefield, the uncle who entered Jiankang City is a descendant of the Cheng family." Cheng Yuexian closed his eyes in pain, "All of them are dead soldiers who have lost their normal sense."

Cheng Jinyang froze there.

In other words, the lineage of the uncle who defected to Duke Wuchang is over.

All were brainwashed by Wang Chuzhong's abilities and turned into consumables on the battlefield.

But why?
"You..." He didn't know what to say for a while, until the impulsive emotions in his mind gradually calmed down, and his reason returned to consciousness, "First... let's do this first."

"I invite Wang Wanrou to come over and take a look."

Miss Wang soon arrived at the land of the Cheng clan.When he went down to the dungeon, he saw Cheng Jinyang sitting on a chair at the end of the corridor, quietly waiting for him to come over.

The light from the floor window at the top of the wall fell on the dark ground. He was sitting behind the light, and his whole body was shrouded in shadow. His face and upper body could not be seen clearly. What to meditate on.

This reminded her suddenly that when she was young, she went to Taicheng to find her father who was the chief assistant at that time.At that time, the father happened to be reporting to the emperor. Hearing that the youngest daughter of the first assistant was waiting outside, the emperor graciously allowed her to come in and wait.

Led by Jin Yiwei, she came to the depths of the palace, and saw the emperor sitting in the shadow at the end of the corridor in the distance.There are skylights every few meters on the high part of the corridor wall, beams of light pass through the hem of the curtain with the imperial flag emblem on the top of the corridor, and fall on the carpet extending far away, floating fine dust swirls slightly in the air.

However, the emperor was still sitting in the shadows, and the entire throne was not stained by any light, as if it had merged with the darkness.

Just like Cheng Jinyang today.

Such thoughts only flashed in her mind for a moment, Wang Wanrou quickly came to her senses, accompanied by Cheng Yuexian, walked into the prison cell, and checked the mental state of the bound Cheng Yizhou.

"Brainwashing." Miss Wang said lightly, "And it was very thorough. All subjective wills were wiped out, leaving only the rigid thinking that would destroy the Jiankang court and the emperor."

"Is there a way to cure it?" Cheng Jinyang's voice came from the shadows.

"Yes." Wang Wanrou said.

Cheng Yuexian heaved a sigh of relief.

"But it depends on how you want to restore him." Wang Wanrou continued.

"What do you mean?" Cheng Yuexian asked tremblingly.

"I've said it before." Wang Wanrou frowned and said, "His subjective will has been erased, which means that his personality has been completely destroyed. Using the soul as a metaphor, it's like the other party named 'Cheng Yizhou' the soul It was completely hollowed out, and then a bunch of simple and crude mechanical thinking patterns were stuffed inside, turning him into a pure dead soldier."

"I can clear away the thinking logic of those dead men. But if it's just that, he will become an idiot who doesn't know anything, because the things that belonged to 'Cheng Yizhou' in his soul are gone, understand?"

"Even if the files are completely deleted from the computer, there is still the possibility of recovery." Cheng Jinyang asked in a low voice, "Can you fix him, Wanrou?"

"please."

　Forgive me, this is the last time!
