Chapter 203 Insert Two

——East China Continent—East China Kingdom—Dawn Forest—Splendid City——August 398, 8, Yongxin Calendar

Splendid City is located in the center of the beautiful Shuguang Forest, two or three thousand miles away from the capital Bian'an City.

Tianjiao Chenhui is 14 years old this year.He is as fair-skinned as his 16-year-old eldest brother, Chen Guang, and has the same shiny ocher eyes.His straight, night-black hair hung down his shoulders, and he looked around from time to time.

The troubadours in the tavern seemed tireless. They had just finished playing "My Lady of Bright Light" and then picked up "Let's Dance with the Wind".The singer's level is superb, and he can compete with Chenhui's eldest brother.However, the more this happened, the more annoying Chen Hui was.

A year ago, like today, he sneaked out while the people in Tianjiao Castle were busy.It was that day that he fell in love with a tailor's daughter.That feeling of first love was so wonderful that he was so intoxicated that he couldn't extricate himself - even though he never confessed his love to her, he didn't even dare to approach her or say a word.Chen Hui often thinks of her sweet smile, savoring it like a glass of golden wine from Yasajin.

But a few days ago, Chen Hui heard that the tailor's daughter had been put to sleep by a troubadour from the south.Chen Hui wouldn't act like other officials' sons to show prestige among common people, but he still begged his father to expel the singer from Splendid City.Since then, Chenhui has been bored with musicians—of course, this does not include her elder brother Chenguang.

Chen Hui understood that even if the singer hadn't slept with the tailor's daughter, it was impossible for him to be with her.Today he is wearing rough, hard cloth clothes and drinking in the "Golden Rose" tavern, like an ordinary citizen.But everyone knows that he is the second son of Tianjiao Xianggan, the Duke of Splendid City.The common people either avoided him, or came and said a few flattering words and left.He felt more awkward this way.

While contemplating, Chen Hui suddenly noticed a strange man entering the tavern quietly.The man was dressed in rags and wore a dirty black hooded cloak.His face was neither ugly nor handsome, just ordinary.Chen Hui didn't care at all, but the man went straight to Chen Hui and sat down in front of him.

"Son, why are you still here?" the man said, "You should leave, leave here, and go where you should go."

What he said made Chen Hui puzzled, he didn't know this person at all! "Where should I go? You mean, it's time for me to go home?" Chen Hui is the best at dealing with this kind of stranger who has nothing to say but still speaks inexplicably, "I should go back to Tianjiao Castle, goodbye Man!" Leaving the stranger behind, he staggered to his feet, ready to leave the tavern.

The man took out a shiny ring, which immediately caught Chen Hui's attention.It was a thick-rimmed ring of greenish color with a large ochre-colored opal. "Son, it's yours." The man smiled.

Chen Hui couldn't help but took the ring and looked at it carefully.On the ring, there is a line of Western Harmony words: El Dorado.What does it mean?Chen Hui thought to himself.

Just when Chen Hui was about to speak, the man mechanically smiled at him. "My child, it has always belonged to you." Chen Hui wanted to speak for the second time, but was choked back by the other party. "Keep it safe." Chen Hui wanted to open his mouth for the third time, but was interrupted again. "El Dorado never existed, and never will be. But your whole life will be on the road to find El Dorado. Beware of the brother who is thrown into the shadow and the shadows, beware of the false gods, beware of the unified hell. You will come out Betray others three times because of conscience, faith, and love; you will experience three deaths because of your ignorance, fanaticism, and desire for freedom; you will always hold high the three banners of justice, hope, and sacrifice; you are destined to witness the twilight of mortals, Twilight of demons, twilight of gods."

"Crazy?" said a young boy next to him.Immediately, all men, women and children in the tavern all cast their eyes on this place.

Chen Hui didn't know how he finished listening.When he stood there in bewilderment, the man had long since disappeared. "It's really strange." But he was very happy to get such a beautiful ring.It's getting late, if you don't go back, Sir Yaco should find out.Jinyi Yake is the chief coach of Jinxiu City, and is responsible for the martial arts education of the new generation of males from the Tianjiao family.Sir Yaco always said that Chenhui was a good archery seed, the kind that happens once in a hundred years.Chen Hui herself didn't feel anything.

So after returning to the castle and changing his clothes, he sat on the mooring post on the edge of the castle grounds, dangling back and forth listlessly with his two dangling legs, and it lasted the whole morning like this.

Chen Hui stared at the two little boys in the middle of the school field—one was seven years old and the other was eight years old, swinging wooden swords one after the other like two geese—they were going to fight until the year of the monkey!Originally, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and all the princes in the Shuguang Forest area will arrive today to participate in the dinner, but Chen Hui has not waited for a decent opponent until now, because half of the princes have not arrived yet, thanks to Chen Hui, he specially replaced them. What about my new leather armor!
The key is that Chen Guang is not here, he seems to have gone out this morning, otherwise the two brothers can still exchange ideas.The nine-year-old brother Chen Yao is soaking in the library, even if he comes, he is not Chen Hui's opponent at all.

Then someone came to say hello.If I remember correctly, this person should be called Jiyun Shiqi, the second son of Jiyun Juzheng, a knight of Jiyun Pagoda.Two years ago, Chenhui's eldest sister, Tianjiao Xiyan, fell in love with Shizhen who came to attend the counter-rebellion celebration banquet.Because of Shizhu's humble background, he was beaten up by Chen Guang, who was only 14 years old at the time.I remember what my elder brother said at the time: "If you dare to seduce my sister again, you will find your teeth all over the place!" Chen Hui knew that Chen Guang hit people according to his father's wishes, so it was hard to say anything, and he could only slightly Express sympathy.Now, due to the accidental death of Shizhen's father and eldest brother, 19-year-old Shizhen has become the master of Jiyun Pagoda.

"Hello, Second Young Master. Do you still remember me?" Ji Yun Shizhen walked over with a smile on his handsome face like a midsummer blazing sun.

Chen Hui knew that he couldn't lose his etiquette, so he forced himself to answer with a smile. "Of course I know, you are the newly promoted Jiyun Tower Knight. How are you doing recently?"

"It's okay, it's just that I miss my father and brother. May there be no damned saber-toothed tigers in heaven! By the way, where is your sister? I have to say hello to her anyway, otherwise it won't make sense."

As soon as this was mentioned, Chen Hui felt embarrassed - he himself didn't know where his sister went to and what she did every day, let alone tell the person in front of her.After Shi Zhen left, Chen Hui fell into a boring situation again.

Just when Chen Hui was bored, the 17-year-old eldest sister Xiyan ran over.Xiyan has long curly red hair like burning clouds, a sharp chin, red pupils, a sharp-edged face and a high nose, all of which are undoubtedly inherited from her father, the majestic Duke of Splendid City, Tianjiao Xianggan. "I see you're bored here, Chen Hui, come with me."

Chen Hui jumped off the mooring post, and looked at her sister in front of her.Oh, my God, she was dressed like a boy: her hair was loose, she wore a thick brown woolen plainclothes, a thick black leather belt tied around the waist of her jacket, and brown high leather boots.Chen Hui had a hard time reacting, "I almost thought I had an extra brother."

Xiyan smiled from ear to ear, "You can think so."

"Where are you going?" Chen Hui shrugged.

"Don't ask, you'll know when we get there." Xiyan was pretending to be mysterious again, and she seemed extremely excited.She gets excited about many things that seem normal to others.She is 17 years old, she is a grown woman, but she does not look like a lady should at all, but her 11-year-old sister, Xirui, is a lovely little lady.

As a result, Chen Hui was taken by her sister to the Fairview Square outside the castle.People surrounded the place with three layers inside and three layers outside.He saw those two horses in the middle of the square, no, not horses, they had horns!Chen Hui only heard his own voice stop in his throat, and his eyes widened. "My God, that's—"

"Unicorn!" My sister took the words excitedly.

The siblings looked at each other's unicorn emblem on each other's clothes, and at the living creatures in the center of the square, and couldn't help smiling at each other.

"No one has ever seen a unicorn before." Chen Hui said with surprise.

"It existed 400 years ago, when magic hadn't disappeared. I read it from a book." Xi Yan explained.

Do you read too?Chen Hui said in his heart.Didn't you never like reading books?

In the center of the square, standing with Chen Hui's father is the Earl of Shining Gold Castle, Shining Jin Ji'an.Chen Hui had seen him at the counter-insurgency celebration banquet two years ago, but he was not that fat then.From the looks of it, the unicorn was brought by him. "Sister, why don't we take a closer look?"

Xi Yan just sighed, "My good brother, you don't want to know what my father will say about us when he sees it. Do you think he will let his 'golden boys and girls' run around in the streets during the festival?" She stared at Looking at the unicorn in the center of the square, its long fiery red hair danced wildly in the wind. "The wind is a bit strong, it's like this every autumn." Her tone was suddenly strange. "Let's go back to the castle."

For some reason, Xiyan didn't say a word on the way back.

——East China Continent—East China Kingdom—Dawn Forest—Splendid City——August 398, 8, Yongxin Calendar

Passing the school grounds, Chen Hui was so attracted by the shouts, talking and laughing that he couldn't move.Brother Chen Guang was standing in the middle of the arena—when did he come back?Xiyan also stopped - she loved swords, guns and bows hundreds of times more than Aishin painting and embroidery.

In the center of the school field, Chen Guang swung a wooden sword to block the fat boy's attack.The fat boy fought back and was about to slash again, but he was hit by a sword in his left waist, and he threw his sword out in pain.The bystanders laughed and watched the fat boy sit on the ground.Chen Guang held the sword in his left hand and stretched out his right hand. "Get up, little brother, I am 16 years old, you are only 13 years old, practice more, you will be able to play better than me in the future." The school field was full of applause.Looking at the badge on the fat boy's clothes, Chen Hui could almost tell that he was from the Yinsha family.

Brother, is this bullying the weak?Chen Hui thought to himself.Chen Guang is the best apprentice Jinyu Yake, the coach of Splendid City, has never had a problem with his peers, let alone that 13-year-old fat boy?

At this time, a lean young man stepped out from the crowd.He has dark skin, white teeth, white eyebrows, fluttering silver hair, and cold and sharp eyes.This must be the eldest son of the Marquis of Sunny Harbor, Sunshine Penglin, and there is no one else but him.Penglin picked up a large wooden sword from the weapon rack, walked to the center of the school field, held the sword with both hands, as chic as in previous years.

"Why, why don't you say something?" Chen Guang asked, "We finally got together again."

"It's not my habit to talk nonsense." Peng Lin retorted.Peng Lin was born in the same year as Chen Guang, but at this time he was already close to the size of an adult.As for Chen Guang, she was still a little childish.In terms of martial arts, Chen Hui is very clear that his elder brother Chen Guang and this sunny Penglin can only be described as rivals in chess.

Chen Hui turned to look at her sister, and her sister also looked at her. "Do you want to take a gamble?"

"Okay, how much do you bet?" Xiyan smiled.

No need to ask, Xi Yan naturally bet on that black kid from the Qingri family.Chen Hui himself needs to say, which time did his brother Chen Guang disappoint him? "I'll bet two silver coins." In fact, it doesn't matter how much I bet, Chen Hui thought, anyway, your black boy can't win.

As a result, Chenguang naturally defeated Penglin, although it was a bit difficult to win.

"Two small white cakes, bring them here." Chen Hui pinched his waist with his left hand, and spread his right hand in front of his sister.Xi Yan casually unwrapped the money bag, took out two silver coins and put them in her younger brother's hands without any hesitation.

Chen Guang yelled at his opponent, "Would you like to play again?"

"No." The dark Penglin refused, "Also, please call me Sir Penglin, I have already obtained the status of knight at the beginning of the year."

He turned out to be a knight!Chen Hui thought, he must have used a real sword.Chen Hui couldn't help but take another look at the black-faced young man in the middle of the school field.Chen Hui hopes that he can also become an adult and become a knight as soon as possible.

A smile flashed across Xiyan's mouth, she was also looking at the young Sir Penglin.Soon, standing in the middle of the school field, there were two little boys again.One was only nine years old, but tall and strong, and the other was a chubby 13-year-old boy who had fought Chen Guang earlier.Both Chen Hui and Xi Yan were ready to watch the fat boy's joke again.

"I said, let's save this guy, his figure is not good at all." Chen Hui couldn't stand it anymore, and wanted to leave. "Sister, I'm leaving first."

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw a group of people walking through the courtyard surrounded by a girl.The girl was about the same age as Xiyan, wearing a dark green wool dress and an apricot yellow hooded velvet cloak.Chen Hui couldn't see her face.Who is that? ? ?

Seeing Chen Hui's puzzled look, Xiyan explained: "Father told me that she is our distant relative, and she was separated a long time ago. At that time, the nine kingdoms had just been unified. The heaven at that time Jiao Xianggan—not our father, but another man named Tianjiao Xianggan hundreds of years ago—was rewarded by the 'Sage King' Yongxin I for his military exploits and separated from our lineage , settled in Baiqiao City in the Daxueyuan area. Although she is only a baron, she is a vassal directly under Ruixue City. This family member is the Lady Tianjiao Feilian, the last bloodline of the Tianjiao family in Baiqiaocheng. Who Whoever marries her will inherit Baiqiao City. You see, their coat of arms is a white unicorn on a gold background, while ours is a red unicorn under a blue sky."

Chen Hui couldn't help being startled.The Tianjiao family in Baiqiaocheng has fallen to this point! "Where are her parents?"

"The previous Baron of Baiqiao City died of stone plague a few years ago; and the baroness, the mother of the Lady Feilian, also died inexplicably a year ago. In short, she is the only one left in the Tianjiao family of Baiqiao City One person—the smaller branches of her family basically disappeared in the Great Snow Plains Civil War 44 years ago."

"Winter's Battle." Chen Hui spit out the name pretending to be serious, thinking it was cool.

Xiyan just smiled, "People always like to give war a nice name, haha. Oh, by the way, my father also said that Lady Feilian will live here."

"With us?" This means that Chen Hui has an extra sister.

"Yes. It's just that she's probably quite boring. Look at her sickly and delicate appearance."

Chen Hui didn't bother to look at it, he wasn't interested in this distant relative at all.If he has time, he might as well go and see sister Xirui.Xirui is a lovely little lady, she is polite all the time, showing elegance and dignity every minute.The point is, sister Xirui is versatile, proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, poetry and painting, and even dabbles in cooking.

At this time, Xirui should be doing needlework with the other ladies in her own room, or she should be learning how to cook from Master Yinyi Boda in the kitchen.Chen Hui decided to look for her, maybe he could have a few mouthfuls of sauced tofu.
