Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space
Chapter 634: The Power of the Dragon
Lin Jing's tone was very radical, as if Princess Wulan's words had stimulated him, causing him to unconsciously reveal some of his inner thoughts when facing Chen Changli.
Chen Changli looked at him for a long time and then sighed: "You know that the Supreme Emperor is chasing immortality, and you don't agree with him, but you can't stop him, so you feel confused in your heart."
"This confusion makes you unconsciously think about whether your loyalty to the Supreme Emperor is valuable? You can't think of the value of it, so you start to deny yourself, and even get angry at me."
"Actually, I first knew that the Supreme Emperor was at a loss when he was pursuing immortality, and I was also wondering whether my loyalty to such an emperor would bring greater disaster to myself."
"But what can I do if I figure it out? The Supreme Emperor will not change his mind. He will only try his best to get the Phoenix Gu."
"If I want to stop him, I can only destroy the prescription, so that he will never be able to use innocent human lives to refine a mythical legend."
He described Phoenix Gu as a legend just to make Lin Jing recognize him.
Lin Jing himself was full of dissatisfaction with the behavior of the Supreme Emperor, but his duty as a minister made him hide this dissatisfaction in his heart and dare not reveal it.
Chen Changli saw through his mind at a glance and pointed out his dissatisfaction.
It was like a wake-up call, and he became sober.
He figured out where his low mood today came from, and why he followed Xu Qinglu to the battlefield and then stayed there.
This was obviously because he did not dare to face the prince, nor did he dare to guess that the prince was full of disappointment in the emperor at this moment.
He was also afraid that he would be influenced by the prince and was extremely disappointed with the prince.
He was relieved to be brought back to the station by Chen Changli.
Now that he is awake, his calm aura is something that should not be underestimated.
"You are braver than me in thinking and doing, but I am not as good as you, Chen Changli. Now I finally understand why the prince trusts you so much."
Lin Jing stared at Chen Changli for a moment, then had another idea in his mind, and said with a faint lazy smile on his face.
"You not only regard the prince as a friend, but also as a wise master who can be loyal to you."
"It's a pity that the prince's current situation is not good. Otherwise, you could have succeeded in becoming a dragon, so that you and your family can enjoy glory and wealth in the future."
When he heard the words "enjoy glory and wealth" coming out of his mouth, Chen Changli's eyes became dark and deep, like a bottomless abyss filled with an indescribable strangeness.
"I'm different from you. I've never thought about gaining the merit of being a dragon." He said it very seriously, and Lin Jing was stunned when he heard it.
He had to think about whether he had taken things for granted and misunderstood Chen Changli.
But the prince's attitude when he mentioned the Supreme Emperor was really cold, as if he no longer regarded the Supreme Emperor as his father, but only regarded him as a stranger.
Lin Jing has not returned to the capital for decades, so he naturally doesn't know how confused the Supreme Emperor is now.
He still had hope for the Supreme Emperor in his heart, but once he knew that the Supreme Emperor would pursue immortality like Hun Jun, he felt a sense of rejection in his heart.
He didn't want to let himself think wildly, and he didn't want to let himself become rebellious.
He specifically mentioned the power of Conglong in front of Chen Changli because he wanted to confirm some of the prince's thoughts from him.
But Chen Changli actually said that he had never thought about serving the dragon. Lin Jing was immediately blocked by this sentence, and he didn't know how to reply to Chen Changli for a long time.
He stared straight at Chen Changli, trying to see something strange in his calm expression, but all he saw was Chen Changli's calm expression. It felt as if everything he said was true. Never cheat on him.
"Why haven't you thought about this?" Lin Jing felt a little unwilling.
When he was young, he was willing to follow the Supreme Emperor and serve him wholeheartedly until his death, just to gain the merit of serving the dragon.
He also succeeded, but he was very young back then. When he helped the Supreme Emperor, the Supreme Emperor had already pulled Prince Mingde off his horse, and he was made the new crown prince by the late emperor.
What he did in front of the Supreme Emperor was not even comparable to the fart of Duke Hui Guo, so he only received some rewards, but did not get the glory or jump in status.
He was very unwilling to do so. After all, Duke Hui Guo was his cousin, but because he was older than him, he helped the Supreme Emperor early on and became a respected Duke.
He desperately wanted to be valued by the Supreme Emperor, so that he and his descendants could enjoy endless wealth and wealth without struggling, just like the descendants of Duke Hui Guo.
So when he heard that Prince Mingde's descendants might have gone to the Western Regions, he resolutely gave up the peaceful days in the capital and went to the Western Regions to do fine work.
Decades later, he endured hardships but persisted and never betrayed the Supreme Emperor. Could it be because of the unwillingness in his heart that supported him.
He had always thought that as long as he succeeded, he would be able to enjoy the praise of infinite glory and the status bestowed by the Emperor upon returning to Da Jing.
However, he never thought that the Emperor might become dull as he got older, and that the hard work he had done in the Western Regions might become a matter of course in the eyes of the Emperor.
His decades of suffering will turn into a word of appreciation and disappear.
But he didn't want to do this, so facing the Supreme Emperor who might use him, he felt fear in his heart, and he didn't know how to face it.
He wanted to use the prince or Chen Changli to get to know the emperor, whom he had not seen for decades, but these two people seemed to have opinions about the emperor and were not willing to reveal anything related to the emperor in front of him.
In fact, he also thought about asking Ye Xuan, but Ye Xuan came to Wulan to help the Supreme Emperor find Phoenix Gu.
He didn't dare to expect that he could get a real answer from Ye Xuan.
"Chen Changli, do you know what the merit of Conglong means? It may be glory, wealth and power that generations of people will not have to fight for. You also have your own children, and you don't want them to have it..."
Chen Changli heard Lin Jing's somewhat excited tone and immediately interrupted him.
"I know what it means to follow the dragon's power, but you must also ensure that you have the life to gamble. If you don't have a life, no matter how great the interests behind the dragon's power are, it will be meaningless, not to mention the possibility that it will Dragging down my family, causing the whole family to be destroyed just because of His Majesty’s words.”
"Mr. Lin, it has only been fifty years since the Prince Mingde case. Are you going to forget the bloodshed it brought?"
Chen Changli saw that Lin Jing was a little unconvinced, so he deliberately made his words more straightforward.
"Or maybe you only saw those who benefited from the Prince Mingde case and did not see those who were implicated. Then how can you ensure that you are the one who benefited."
