In the Blade

At the same time of nightfall, Emperor Chen Yu sat in his study, without saying a word.

This was not the one he often used, but the study that belonged to the emperor. Although that study was brightly lit and rich in books, it could even be called a library, but in his eyes, the real study was still the small room with shelves full of storytelling books.

Only there, he was Chen Yu.

"I haven't been here for a while..."

Looking at the dust on the desk, Chen Yu sighed.

Thinking back then, when he was still a child, this small courtyard carried so many happy times. Only in this secret base that belonged to him, he didn't have to practice, practice martial arts, or care about the complicated and trivial things outside, let alone face the father who looked scary.

Of course, each time he came here, he couldn't stay too long, otherwise the palace people would look for him everywhere, but playing hide-and-seek with those palace people, fighting wits and courage, was also a good fun thing.

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long.

He still had to grow up, and eventually he had to become a qualified prince, and those storytelling books on the shelf were gradually sealed in his memories - but when he had free time, he would still come to this deserted courtyard and rest for a while, even if it was just for a while, it was a great relaxation for him.

After all, the pressure his father put on him was too great, and not everyone could bear that level of cruel education.

But Chen Yu couldn't hate this harshness.

It was only because he later knew that this deserted courtyard, including the storytelling books on the shelf, were all left to him by his father.

If it is said that only in this courtyard is he Chen Yu, then only in this courtyard will his father show his father's side.

People say that there is no family affection in the rich and powerful, and this is even more so in the royal family. As the saying goes, the royal family is ruthless.

But is it really so?

Walking in this old courtyard, sitting in this secret base built by his father, Chen Yu suddenly felt a little dazed.

He couldn't think, and didn't dare to think. Whenever he thought of his father's image, he would always think of the headless body.

Chen Yu didn't remember how his father's body was placed. He asked the imperial physician, who said that it was because people would actively forget some painful memories, and told him not to worry about it.

However, can you really not think about it?

It's impossible.

Chen Yu suddenly felt that what people said about the heartless family might be true.

After all, the only family affection is gone.

"Do you know? Your grandson has grown up, and he is almost catching up with me back then..."

Saying this, Chen Yu picked up the first dagger on the desk.

"If you were still here, you might have given him this dagger, and then taught him how to do it, how to kill, and where to stab the fastest..."

Looking at the sharp blade in his hand, feeling the murderous impulse brought by the evil spirit on the blade, Chen Yu couldn't help but smile and shook his head.

Although this dagger is very suitable for children, he would not give it to his youngest son. He was not a person who could kill people back then, so how could he let his child suffer the same hardships and pain as himself.

"But I should teach him martial arts, let him learn how to fight."

Speaking of this, Chen Yu smiled and picked up the ring-headed sword on the table.

At first, his father asked him to practice sword, but he didn't like it. As a prince, or even the future emperor, he should be more suitable for swords anyway. After all, everyone talks about the princes' swords and the emperor's swords, but no one has ever talked about the princes' swords and the emperor's swords, especially this rough ring-headed sword, which is more like something that soldiers would use.

But now, Chen Yu has understood that this is not a question of whether it is suitable or not.

It was a father teaching his child how to fight and how to save his life.

If something happened, he would not be able to do anything with just a so-called emperor's sword. He had to learn how to fight and how to fight like a front-line soldier to ensure his safety at the most basic level. Even if he encountered danger, he would have the courage to fight desperately.

"But you chose the sword later."

This time, Chen Yu could no longer laugh.

Facing the relics left by his father, Chen Yu's smile finally collapsed.

If we really talk about the inheritance, the previous generation of the Great Chen emperor actually left him a lot, including the palace, the regent ministers, and even the entire Great Chen. These were all the inheritances left by his father - but Chen Yu knew that it was not actually for him, but something left by an emperor to the prince.

Only this simple long sword without any decoration in front of him was what his father left for his son.

Chen Yu drew his sword from its sheath and casually made a few sword flowers. If the court officials outside saw this scene, they would probably be so shocked that they could not speak - because in the light at the moment, Chen Yu did not look stupid at all. Just looking at the way he casually waved his sword, he was clearly a martial artist with great skills!

No one knew that the seemingly stupid emperor had actually practiced such a good kung fu in secret.

Or, it was only the emperor who was stupid.

What did it have to do with him, Chen Yu?

The emperor can be stupid and idiotic, but the ministers are happy to see an emperor who knows nothing and doesn't care about anything sitting on that huge chair. But Chen Yu said that he had never slacked off at all about the things his father taught him during his lifetime.

Just because he doesn't want to kill people doesn't mean that he really isn't proficient in killing people.

You know, when he was young, he had already mastered the dagger that killed hundreds of people in a row, and even successfully resisted the murderous impulse brought by the evil spirit and abandoned the dagger.

Only his father knew all this.

Perhaps it was because he saw that he didn't like killing that his father made such a decision and wanted to go to the imperial mausoleum to seek a result for his useless son at the end of his life.

But it is a pity that they are the royal family. After their ancestors inherited the throne of Emperor Taizu Gao, their descendants can no longer escape this fateful reincarnation.

"Who touched my sword? Forget it, it doesn't matter."

Chen Yu suddenly felt that the feel of the sword blade had changed slightly, as if it had been polished.

But at this moment, he didn't care about this little thing.

He only knew that it was enough that the sword was still there.

"Don't you want to see it?"

Across the sword blade, Chen Yu looked at the darkness in the distance.

That is the direction of the imperial mausoleum.

"Since you want to see it, I'll let you see it to your heart's content."
