Strange Tale

In dreams, it is easy to be chaotic and sticky, making it difficult to move an inch, or empty and desolate, and easily go to heaven and earth.It's normal for Si Ren to move his legs and feet, this is the best.

"I'm not going! I'm not going!"

Suddenly there was the sound of a child crying.Si Ren looked around: the ancient couch with green lamps and incense wrapped around the gauze curtain.Is this the bedroom of the ancients?Looking at the ancient bamboo slips and jade wares on the table, this... at least a thousand years ago, right? !

"Chen'er, be good, when you get to Jicheng, let the attendants who are going with you buy you dried meat."

Si Ren walked around the veil, and saw a haggard middle-aged man on the couch holding an eight or nine-year-old boy, coaxing him with loving eyes.

"Woooooo...I don't want a butcher shop. I want to stay at home...stay with Daddy..."

The child was crying and shouting, it was the voice that Si Ren heard at first.His facial features have the shadow of Long Jiu, but his limbs are well-proportioned, and there seems to be nothing wrong with him.Si Ren murmured in his heart: Pretty healthy baby?Isn't it Long Jiu?

"Chen'er is no longer a child, so he can't be so ignorant anymore." The man was a little annoyed by the disturbance, and he put the child on the ground with a serious tone.

The child stopped crying, blinked his eyes and wiped his tears with his sleeve, "But... But I heard they said that the prince should be the hostage, why should I replace the prince?"

"Alas—" the man sighed heavily and lowered his head.

"Father doesn't want to either. But a country cannot be without a king for a day. Now that the lord is seriously ill, the crown prince can't leave the capital easily. And there are only a few of the nobles in the court who are about the same age as the crown prince and are smart enough to take the place of the crown prince. Now that the chosen Without you, I have nothing to say as a father. But..." He raised his head and pressed the child's shoulder, "The Lord said the day before yesterday that as long as King Zhao can be persuaded to send troops, the invasion of Yan is just around the corner. This time I go to you And wait in Jicheng with peace of mind, and father will definitely pick you up at that time. So, Chen'er, remember: When you arrive in Yan Kingdom, you will be Zhou Ling, the prince of Teng Kingdom, and you must not reveal your identity. Otherwise, parents Brother will lose his life."

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuu...baby...baby understand..."

……

Yan, Zhao?It turned out to be the son of the Warring States Period, Si Ren thought to himself.The surrounding scenery changed suddenly, and he went to the lake again.

A melancholy boy on the shore was throwing stones into the water one by one.Although the appearance of Fourteenth Five-Year is still childish, but this time it can be seen that it is undoubtedly Long Jiu, but the hair is very long, reaching to the waist.

It turned out that the real name of the physical body was "Chen". No wonder he only knew the time when he gave Long Jiu a batch of horoscopes when they first met, and it seemed that he was born in Chenshi.But why change it to "nine"?Si Ren remembered the nine-headed vision rising from Long Jiu's back when he confronted Jin Ji.

The name change is really straightforward.

"Is throwing stones fun?"

A luxuriously dressed young man appeared behind Long Jiu.

Long Jiu turned around, frowned and looked at the person coming.

The young man walked up to Long Jiu, "Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?"

"Then who are you? I have been in the palace for five years, and I have never seen you."

"I'm older than you, you answer first."

"Hmm...Okay. I am the Prince of Teng, Zhou Ling."

The young man smiled, "It turns out that fate is connected. My name is Ji Dan."

Long Jiu showed a surprised expression, "His Royal Highness?! Aren't you... a hostage in Qin?"

"Escaped back."

Long Jiu was even more surprised, "How did you escape?"

Ji Dan glanced out of the corner of his eye, "What? You want to escape too?"

……

The surface of the lake suddenly disappeared, and Si Ren turned into a brightly lit palace in front of his eyes.

The figures behind the screen moved, and there were rustling voices.Curious, Si Ren came to the screen to take a look.In the end, it didn't matter that it didn't matter, heavy panting and an unbearable scene rushed to his face, Si Ren almost screamed out and broke the way of falling asleep.

In front of him, Long Jiu was biting his lips and his face was flushed, and behind him, Ji Dan clenched his teeth and was dripping with sweat.The tops of the two were intact, but their naked buttocks collided frequently and the battle was in full swing.

This is not the real world, and Si Ren cannot choose to leave.He couldn't move even if he wanted to, and he couldn't close his eyes even if he wanted to, so he could only bite the bullet and watch as waves of blood rushed to the sky and hot air rushed...

In the end, Ji Dan pulled Long Jiu's long hair and tensed his back, and both of them lost their eyes and became limp at the same time.Si Ren also let out a long breath, and his whole body seemed to be about to collapse.If he hadn't practiced high concentration, he probably would have woken up early.

"Your Highness."

"Ok?"

"Have you told your father about sending me back to Teng Kingdom?"

"No."

"why?"

"I don't want you to go."

Long Jiu's eyelids drooped slowly, and a drop of tear slid down the pillow.

……

Si Ren knew that it was the child named "Chen" who took the place of Prince Zhou Ling of Teng Kingdom and came to Yan Kingdom as a hostage, not Long Jiu.The soul that can cry has already gone to the underworld.But I don't know if the memory of the body can be erased if the soul is gone.But since this is Long Jiu's dream, it is obvious that the monster can empathize with the unforgettable things.

Si Ren regretted it: he shouldn't have lied to Long Jiu that he couldn't pray for rain and insisted on keeping him for one more night.Otherwise, if he hadn't done it himself, Long Jiu wouldn't have dreamed of these things so clearly...

Before he finished blaming himself, the palace disappeared, and Si Ren was already standing under the cliff.

Ji Dan knelt on the ground with disheveled hair, and in his arms was the dying Long Jiu.There are many soldiers on horseback behind, but all of them have blurred faces.Si Ren knew it was because Long Jiu couldn't remember what they looked like.

"Idiot! Why do you want to run away?! Even after being chased to the cliff, you still have to jump down! Do you have to go back to Teng Kingdom?!" Ji Dan was a little hysterical.

Long Jiu struggled to open his mouth, "Aren't you also...the one who risked his life and fled back to Jicheng."

"What's the same?! The Yan Kingdom is still there, but the Teng Kingdom has already died! It was destroyed by Zhao two months ago! Are you stupid? Are you going to flee back at this time?!"

"I want to go back... to collect the corpses of my parents for burial."

"King Teng's head was brought back to Zhao, but the body has long since disappeared. What kind of corpse are you taking?"

"Your Highness, let me tell you something. Cough cough... I am not the prince of Teng, but my name is Long Chen, the son of Dazai. You should tell King Yan to kill me... Anyway, Teng has already destroyed the country, and my family is gone. , I...I don't care about anything anymore. I don't want to end up dead...with no one knowing my true identity."

"Don't talk about it. Actually... I mentioned to my father about sending you back..." Ji Dan's tears fell on Long Jiu's face one by one, "...forget it. Anyway, I won't let you die, You'll be fine."

"I... definitely won't be able to live. I have no feeling in my body. It seems that my body... doesn't exist..."

"Come here! Go back to the palace immediately to find the imperial physician!"

……

Si Ren understood that it turned out that Long Jiu was paralyzed when he wanted to escape when he knew that his country was ruined and his family was ruined.

Suddenly time and space flowed, and we came to the water's edge again, but this time it was a river.

The "Long Jiu" sitting on a wooden wheelchair by the water is no different from the Long Jiu that Si Ren saw.He was facing the river, his clothes were torn and his hair was messy, and there were some stains on his face.Si Ren had a bad "hunch".

Sure enough, he often appeared wearing armor and riding a war horse, with more than a dozen arrows stuck in his back.He fell off the horse and spit out a few mouthfuls of blood, stumbled and rushed behind Long Jiu, "Dian..."

"How many times have I said it, don't call him Your Highness, I'm not the prince." Long Jiu didn't turn his head.

"Okay, son! Let's go, Qin Jun will catch up soon!"

"Where's Dan?"

He often lowered his head, "Prince, he..."

"Dead in battle?"

"No, I was choked by..." Ye Chang's voice was choked, "His Royal Highness was beheaded by the Lord and dedicated to the King of Qin... for peace."

Long Jiu turned around abruptly, "What did you say?! Ji Xihe...killed his own son and offered it to the enemy for peace?!"

"Yes... His Highness asked me to swear before he was beheaded: I swear to protect you son to the death, and I must take you back to the hometown of Teng to fulfill your wish."

Although Long Jiu was in a bit of a mess before, Si Ren could still see brilliance in his eyes.Now that I heard what I often said, the brilliance gradually faded, leaving only dead gray in my picturesque eyes.

He moved his lips, and his voice became hoarse, "Let me ask you, Your Highness...has he really told King Yan that he wants to send me back to the country?"

"I've said it. The Lord was furious and said that if His Highness makes such nonsense again, he will be abolished as the crown prince and thrown into prison."

"Okay, I see." Long Jiu nodded, his eyes were a little dull.

After a while, he looked up again and stared at the blood on Yechang's face, "Yechang, are you injured? Turn around and let me see."

"The end will be fine..."

"Turn around."

Yechang turned around helplessly, but Long Jiu didn't look at it, but looked back at the river.

Si Ren knew what was going to happen next, and instinctively stretched out his hand to grab the void.But what has happened cannot be changed after all, the next moment Si Ren saw the muddy river, he seemed to sink into the bottom of the river with Long Jiu.

"Sir, save me...sir, save me..."

While Si Ren was struggling, a faint call for help suddenly came from his ear.The voice belonged to Long Jiu, but Si Ren faintly felt some subtle differences.Just as he was about to make a careful distinction, he woke up after a burst of dizziness and all the perception returned to his body.

Still sitting on the ground, the incense in front of him just burned out, Si Ren looked to the other side of the wall: Long Jiu woke up too.He stared at the roof, sweat dripping down his face.

Si Ren stared at that face and couldn't help being dazed: Even if I cast a spell to make people bring real memories into the dream, this dream is still too organized, as if I deliberately wanted to explain what happened to me.Besides, if Chen was really possessed by Long Jiu after drowning, would Long Jiu know what happened so clearly?And what happened to the call for help at the end?

After thinking about it for a long time, his mind became muddled, and Si Ren felt more and more like falling into the clouds.Look out the window: the moonlight is like water and cool breeze.After getting up and collecting the incense ashes, Si Ren decided to go for a walk.There are too many things in this dream that make people need to calm down.
