nine words

When Chu Jiuge woke up, he was sleeping on Chu Zhiyi's bed, not because he knew it was his room, but because that person was lying beside him when he woke up.

Chu Jiuge sat up, without the expected pain, untied his belt to look, and found that the wound had already been bandaged.

Perhaps it was the herbal medicine used to stop bleeding and relieve pain, or maybe this special dressing method could inhibit the blood flow and close the wound, making him feel no pain at all.

Looking at Chu Zhiyi's sleeping face, Chu Jiuge had an evil thought for a moment. If he said that all the troubles in the world were caused by him, then if he cut off his life today, would he be able to bring history back to the right track?

... He still didn't have the courage, he couldn't kill him.

Even if he knows that he has no blood relatives, even if he knows that he is just using him, but he is still his only relative in this world...

How could he do it...

"If you don't hesitate, you can go back and consummate now." Chu Zhiyi was not asleep either, quietly observing Chu Jiuge's every move.

"Are you still going to let me go back?"

"perhaps."

Such a vacillating answer made Chu Jiuge feel at a loss.Now, he is basically in the state of getting to know Chu Zhiyi again. After all, a very important part of his memory has been washed away by Wang Chuan Shui. No matter what, he must end this matter.

"Why do these things?"

"You learned not to ask me that question when you were three years old."

"But I'm no longer your obedient son!"

"It's not the Chu Jiuge who was crying and begging for mercy." Chu Zhi smiled chillingly, "Why did you obey me? In order to make you obedient, I have worked hard and given all kinds of punishments. In the end, I still failed to tame you. The biggest failure in my life was to take you out from under your father's corpse. If I had allowed you to be swallowed by the fire, there would not have been so many troubles."

Chu Jiuge has long been disinterested in his life experience, and has no intention of considering who his father is. At this moment, he only wants to get more information to destroy Chu Zhiyi's conspiracy.

Chu Jiuge avoided Chu Zhiyi's eyes, and seemed to see the scar on Chu Zhiyi's ankle in a daze. The latter noticed his gaze, immediately withdrew his left leg, and continued: "The last time you resisted me, was I don't want to kill Gong Ziqing. The reason why I want to get rid of him is because he is far more troublesome than those relatives of the royal family. At that time, you came back here and begged me to kill you. Even if you die, you don't want to do it again Things that hurt others. The last time I punished you, I gave you the harshest punishment. I sent someone to throw you into the barracks. I thought that the humiliation would make you submit, and I planned to wait for you to beg me, and I will spare you. But you No, you didn't even say a word before Ling Ge rescued you, and then both you and Ling Ge lost the news, and you got news about you again after you entered the country of Ke."

"You set up the Divine Phoenix Bureau alone? I don't believe it."

The so-called Divine Phoenix Bureau, as its name suggests, is a scam set up in the name of gods. This is perfectly normal in a feudal society. In addition, it coincides with troubled times, and the people are extremely disturbed. With such a group of people, they will use this to recruit believers, and even secretly raise troops to expand their power in order to achieve their own goals.

This is not unprecedented in history. During the chaos of the Wuhu Dynasty, the Xianbei people once set up the Shenhuang Bureau with nine divine pillars in the land of Shenzhou. Unfortunately, they were wiped out by the Han people before they succeeded.Chu Jiuge couldn't believe that even today, there are still people performing the ceremony of that year. I am afraid that Chu Zhiyi's force is also inextricably linked with Ulan Kingdom north of Qishui.

Things are too complicated. If these forces are intertwined and eventually form a closed loop that traps them to death, then even if they stand firmly in the country, it will be difficult to compete with it.

The most urgent task is to pass the news back to Lin'an.

...But, would anyone really believe him?

Thinking of this, Chu Jiuge was silent.The disappointment in Yu Jingnian's eyes earlier made him a little desperate. Perhaps to them, what he did was unforgivable. Even if he tried his best to make up for it, it would not help.

"Now you understand that I not only use you to push you to a position that everyone can't reach, but also make you isolated and helpless when you need help. In the end, you can only be used by me alone."

Chu Jiuge knew he was right. From the very beginning, Chu Zhiyi sent him to Kunlun for house arrest, just to cultivate a pawn who could do his best for him.In fact, he succeeded, this pawn was for his use, and only for him, even if he betrayed, no one would believe his sincerity.

"So what are you going to do next?"

Chu Zhiyi didn't answer, got up and left the room.

Chu Jiuge also knew that it was absolutely impossible for him to tell himself about this person who was no longer used by him.

Even so, he still asked with little hope, perhaps because he preferred to believe that Chu Zhiyi's heart was not bad.

So what was it that made him give up his assistance to the southern monarch who had served for generations?

Soon after Chu Jiuge was born, Chu Zhiyi sent him to Kunlun. At that time, Chu Zhiyi was only in his twenties, but he was able to occupy a high position at a young age. I am afraid that he borrowed the light of his father. He was also the prime minister of King Nan, and before he died, he told King Nan to reuse his son, so Chu Zhiyi took over his father's throne.

Perhaps in the year of weak crown, Chu Zhiyi had already seized the power.

So what caused him to give up his glory and wealth, and choose to pretend to be dead and leave the southern country?

It is absolutely impossible to succeed to the throne because of selfishness, because he was pushed to the throne by Chu Zhiyi. For this reason, he even killed the eldest son He Zipei, put the third son He Ziying under house arrest, and even poisoned the king of Nan.So what is it that made him willing to go against the precepts of his ancestors and be willing to stain his hands with blood?

No... The matter has come to this point, perhaps Chu Zhiyi's identity is also questionable, Chu Jiuge himself has been Chu Zhiyi's "son" for more than [-] years, and now he knows that he is not his own, so Chu Zhiyi is not The old man's son is not impossible.

Chu Jiuge deduced according to the existing clues, and found that he seemed to have fallen into an endless loop. He was trapped in it like this, and he couldn't find a breakthrough no matter what. , Perhaps from the very beginning, he grasped the wrong focus, should not start with Chu Zhiyi, the focus is on the old man who is already riding a crane?

Chu Jiuge regretted not asking Hua Yilian about the history of the Southern Kingdom before leaving, but even if he asked, there might not be any results. After all, what happened to the old man was before he and Hua Yilian were born, even if the historian had recorded it The things about him are not necessarily true. If they have been tampered with, it will be even more detrimental to them.

Chu Jiuge traveled thousands of miles to the country of Ke, and it was not without gains. At least he knew that Chu Zhiyi’s power was inextricably linked with the Wulan country north of Qishui. Perhaps Chu Zhiyi was just Inheriting the behest of the Xianbei people, they are working for Ulan, and it is even possible to make the scene of Wuhu Chaohua reappear in the world.

But this doesn't make sense. If Ulan wanted to annex the Central Plains, wouldn't it be easier to take advantage of the dispute between the seven countries and occupy one side?They will never be afraid of the people of the Central Plains rising up to resist. After all, the Seven Kingdoms are not in harmony, and the flames of war have been ignited for many years.So why did Chu Zhiyi support Xun Sui, who is capable of unifying the Central Plains, to the throne, and spent more than ten years cultivating himself as a usable chess piece, using himself to secretly help Xun Sui rule the world?

The more Chu Jiuge thought about it, the more he felt cold and sweaty. The intricate cobwebs behind the matter were too complicated. No matter what he did, he would end up in a mess.He was able to be imprisoned here by Chu Zhiyi today. It must be the result of precise calculations. Chu Zhiyi used different people and different things to instill clues into him bit by bit, allowing him to come to the conclusion of coming to Ke Country. , and put it into practice.

...Maybe Chu Zhiyi didn't want the Central Plains to be occupied by Ulan, but he had to do things for Ulan?

This is the most possible answer that Chu Jiuge can think of, and training himself is not to split Qi, but to give Zi Sui a competent general. As for the 15 years of studying at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, it is to enable him to have enough Learning to assist him, the cruel punishment is to give him a tenacious will, the will to keep secrets and life.

Perhaps in the Divine Phoenix Bureau that had been set up long ago, only Chu Zhiyi had the foresight and foresight, and he was constantly thinking about the Central Plains and self-sufficiency.Chu Jiuge even suspected for a moment that Xun Sui was Chu Zhiyi's son, because Nan Wang never regarded Xun Sui as his own, and Chu Zhiyi insisted on supporting him, which had already surpassed the relationship between monarch and minister.

However, this kind of speculation is fleeting. The age difference between the two is only a few years old. Could it be that when Chu Zhiyi was able to have a son?

Having said that, when did Chu Zhiyi appear in everyone's sight?

It was after the death of the old man.

In other words, when he first appeared in public, it was already a weak year.But in Chu Jiuge's thin memory, Chu Zhiyi's current appearance is no different from the one who dragged him to Nanwang more than ten years ago, and he didn't even add a few wrinkles.If it is a bold guess that Chu Zhiyi is such a person who is not bound by time, then the possibility of Xiang Sui being his son is far greater than the possibility of Nan Wang's own birth.

……how can that be possible?Chu Jiuge laughed at himself, how could someone live forever?

"Nine songs know longevity, nine songs know the frontier..."

Thinking of this, he actually hummed this nursery rhyme involuntarily.

It is not unreasonable for Chu Zhiyi to push him to where he is today... The matter has come to this point, perhaps it is the best choice to speak up. With his current ability, he may not lose even if he starts a war with Ulan. Now, it is not a good way to keep Chu Zhiyi in danger. His strategy is slightly better than his own. If he can stand on the side of Xun Sui, he will definitely be able to help him.

"Oh, by the way, let me remind you, when you return to the southern country, please keep your mouth shut."
