Chapter 228 228 Not Afraid (12)

"Stupid!" Chu Qianchen scolded coldly.

Chu Qianchen's fingers curled up, and his eyes became darker and darker little by little.

She knew she was right.

In fact, she had no evidence. She just deliberately deceived Chu Yunyi just because she saw Chu Qianhuang's expression was different yesterday. She seemed a little guilty and didn't dare to approach Chu Yunyi.

With just such a casual lie, she got this little brat Chu Yunyi to confess.

He doesn't know how to hide his emotions at all. He really should be sent to Xuanjia Camp for more training.

Chu Yunyi only thought that Chu Qianchen knew the whole story, and quickly defended herself: "Second sister, I am not stupid."

"Father made a big mistake. This time, if I don't do anything, the Chu family's title will most likely be lost. Fifteen years ago, it was because of my grandfather that I kept the title. If the title is gone now, then my grandfather will lose it." It’s all in vain.”

"Brother Mu is only five years old. I am the eldest brother. Of course I have to help him keep his title."

Chu Yunyi is still seriously injured, and his speech is not as fluent as usual, intermittent and weak.

His eyes were surprisingly bright, and he raised his chin proudly, "Second sister, there is still me in the Chu family."

Even if everyone else in the Chu family is useless, she still has him!

"Stupid!" Chu Qianchen said another stupid word to him, feeling that he was giving him an advantage by touching his forehead.

She raised her hand and patted the top of his head. This gentle and delicate movement was done by her, with a sense of willfulness, like the wild orchids blooming freely in the mountains and forests.

She was wondering in her mind whether she should leave this naive boy to the caring Su Mubai to teach him.

You can’t take a picture of a man’s head! Chu Yunyi couldn't help but think of the words Chu Yunmu kept repeating all day long.

Chu Qianchen tapped his knuckles twice and asked again: "How did Chu Qianhuang know that the alchemy furnace would explode?"

"..." Chu Yunyi didn't know either. He shook his head and swallowed. He felt that the surrounding area had become a little cold.

His palms began to sweat, and he almost fell to his knees in front of his sister.

He didn't dare to hide it at all, and said calmly: "The eldest sister just told me that she heard in the palace that the emperor would go to Yuanqing to watch the elixir being released, and asked me to find a way to go with him."

"She said something might happen in Yuanqing Temple that day and told me to act accordingly."

Chu Qianhuang spoke vaguely. Chu Yunyi later thought about what would happen to Yuan Qingguan, and even wondered if someone wanted to assassinate the emperor. Chu Qianhuang happened to overhear the secret conversation of the main envoy.

Assassinating the emperor was tantamount to treason, which was a serious crime. Even if Chu Qianhuang heard it and did not dare to speak nonsense, it was normal. After all, there was no basis for what he said.

Chu Yunyi felt that this possibility was very high, and he had been paying attention to the people around the emperor yesterday. Unexpectedly, it turned out that the alchemy furnace exploded in the end...

Looking back now, he felt a little unbelievable.

Another possibility suddenly came to mind. Could the explosion of the alchemy furnace be caused by humans?

Could it be Chu Qianhuang?

Impossible.

Chu Yunyi immediately rejected this possibility, thinking that this speculation was too ridiculous. Chu Qianhuang did not go to Yuanqing Temple yesterday at all.

Chu Qianchen asked again: "What else?"

"..." Chu Yunyi was about to answer, but suddenly he came to his senses and slowly realized that he had been deceived by her.

Originally she didn't know anything, she was just lying to herself.

"You...you deceived me?!" Chu Yunyi felt that there was no trust between people at all.

Chu Qianchen's eyes flashed with a smile again. He did not deny it, but took the opportunity to admonish him: "What's wrong with you? Haven't you heard a sentence? Soldiers are unpredictable, and deceit is the way. You don't want to be a general. ”

"..." Chu Yunyi wanted to explain that it was Chu Yunmu who was talking about becoming a general, but he couldn't deny this.

He entered the Imperial Academy to study martial arts in order to join the army in the future.

He wanted to go to the battlefield and gallop on the battlefield like King Chen, not only protecting the people but also making achievements.

Men should be like this.

Chu Yunyi's thin lips pursed into a straight line, and his eyes were full of ambition and aspirations. But when he met Chu Qianchen's eyes, it was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him, and he became cold again. I'm scared.

"Three days ago, Cousin Zhao went to the Imperial Academy, so I asked him for help and asked him to take me to Yuanqing Temple. Cousin Zhao thought I wanted to join in the fun, so he agreed."

Several princes often went to the Imperial College to monitor classes. This was the emperor's expression of the importance he attached to the Imperial College, and it also made the noble disciples flock to the Imperial College, hoping to take the opportunity to get close to the princes.

Yesterday, in addition to Chu Yunyi, there were also other distinguished sons from the clan who went to Yuan Qing Temple with other princes.

"Yesterday morning, we arrived at Yuanqing Temple early in the morning, and first accompanied the emperor to admire the maples. It is said that the opening of the alchemy furnace is considered auspicious, and Taoist Master Xuanjing calculated that the auspicious time for opening the furnace is a quarter past noon."

"Taoist Master Xuanjing wanted to open the altar an hour in advance and asked two Taoists to move the alchemy furnace out of the alchemy room. When they put down the alchemy furnace, a few pieces of charcoal fell out from under the furnace, and then the alchemy furnace exploded... "

"I rushed towards the emperor..."

Chu Qianchen listened to him quietly and couldn't help but sigh: This guy is really young and energetic.

"Were you afraid at that time?" Chu Qianchen asked softly.

Chu Yunyi couldn't help but think of the scenes at that time.

When the alchemy furnace exploded, everything he did was based on instinct. He rushed towards the emperor and protected the emperor with his body. At that moment, his mind went blank. It wasn't until he felt a sharp pain in his body that he finally came back to his senses and heard the panicked shouts of the people around him.

It was just a brief moment, and after that, his consciousness was swallowed by darkness...

At that moment, he suspected that he would die, and he was actually a little scared.

However, no matter how scared he was, he couldn't tell Chu Qianchen, otherwise he would be laughed at.

Chu Yunyi thought so in her heart, but when the words came out of her mouth, it became:

"Even if you are afraid, you must not be afraid."

After the words came out of his mouth, Chu Yunyi regretted it. He felt that what he said was just like coquettishness.

He is such an adult, yet he still behaves like a spoiled child with his sister!

Chu Qianchen stared deeply at Chu Yunyi.

His spirit was obviously slightly better than yesterday, but his complexion looked pale due to excessive blood loss, and his lips were dull.

Normally, Chu Yunyi is a proud young man with a very bad temper; at this moment, he looks very soft, like a sick little kitten, wilted and rolled into a white ball. Hairy dumplings.

"Yes." Chu Qianchen rubbed his head. This time, her movements were much gentler.

Amber almost shed tears of sympathy for Chu Yunyi.

She often felt that the princess was an eagle soaring in the blue sky. The way an eagle teaches its eaglet is to drop it from a high cliff and let it flap its wings and learn to fly on its own.

The eagle is the overlord of the sky, the most powerful and the most defensive.

If others want to bully Chu Yunyi, they have to think carefully before doing so.

Amber glanced at the siblings again and silently retreated.

She thought Chu Yunyi wouldn't want her to be there.

"If you die, the title of Yongding Marquis Mansion will be kept." Chu Qianchen said in a detached and calm tone, as if she was just an outsider.

"From now on, you will just be a memorial tablet on the desk. You will be worshiped several times every year during the Life and Death Ceremony, Qingming Festival, Zhongyuan Festival, Double Ninth Festival, Winter Solstice and New Year's Eve. After a few years, no one will remember you. "

"Is it worth it?"

Chu Qianchen looked at him and asked.

This time, if she hadn't taken action, Chu Yunyi would have died.

To be honest, before Chu Qianchen asked him, Chu Yunyi did not regret what he did. His goal was achieved, so he felt that everything he did was worth it.

But now, Chu Yunyi didn't dare to answer.

Chu Qianchen's voice was so calm and rational, but Chu Yunyi could hear a little bit of pain in it... and a hint of anger.

The rebellious boy couldn't help but reflect in his heart at this moment. Was he wrong?

Chu Qianchen's expression remained calm, "You started learning martial arts when you were four years old. You practiced Sanjiu in the winter and Sanfu in the summer. You practiced for a full eight years. In the end, you did not die on the battlefield, but you died in such a trivial matter. What do you think? Is it worth it?”

Chu Yunyi: "..."

Chu Qianchen stood up gracefully, walked towards the east-facing window, and continued: "You died not for the people of the country, but for a small title."

A small title? Chu Yunyi repeated these five words silently in his heart, and suddenly he had an extremely subtle feeling, as if he was in a fog at the moment, and there was a vague door in front of him, tempting him to move forward, and then move forward...

He opened and closed his mouth, feeling as if he was being called a foolhardy idiot by Chu Qianchen.

"When a gentleman is established, why should he be afraid of life and death!" Chu Yunyi said dryly, "Since I plan to join the army, I naturally have no fear of life and death."

"Squeak."

Chu Qianchen walked to the window and pushed open the two windows with both hands.

Wisps of sunlight shine in through the layers of tree crowns outside, forming a patch of jumping mottled light and shadow in the wind, and those lush branches and leaves seem to be whispering a clear song.

Chu Qianchen turned around, faced Chu Yunyi again, and repeated in a low voice: "Afraid of life and death?"

Under the backlight, her face looked blurry and her expression was unclear.

The hairs on the back of Chu Yunyi's neck stood up, and a wild intuition told him that he had said the wrong thing.

He shrank his neck, and for a moment he almost thought he would be beaten, but then he saw Chu Qianchen burst into laughter.

She seemed to have heard some joke, and her smile was as bright as the breeze and the moon, and the wind passing through the forest. .

Chu Qianchen called out to the window: "Tang Yuchu."

Chu Yunyi: "..."

The next moment, a cyan figure jumped down from the roof, and a black figure came down with him, one large and one small.

Tang Yuchu came in through the window with his plate of unfinished peanuts, while the little black cat squatted on the window sill, tilting his head and looking curiously at the people in the room.

Chu Qianchen asked: "Are you afraid of death?"

"Afraid." Tang Yuchu said matter-of-factly while eating peanuts, wondering how the princess knew he was on the roof.

After a pause, he added: "On the battlefield, we are used to seeing life and death, so we are more afraid of death because it is not worth it."

"My life, not to mention one against a thousand, I have to exchange one for the enemy's hundred lives, right?"

He picked up a crispy date from the plate next to him and started eating it.

Chu Yunyi: "..."

He looked at Tang Yuchu by the window in surprise.

Tang Yuchu, Yun Zhan, and Xue Fengyan were all soldiers under the command of King Chen. They were all young and promising, and they fought **** the battlefield and killed countless enemies.

He thought they were not afraid of death.

Chu Yunyi blinked slowly, his eyes slightly confused.

The twelve-year-old boy is actually still a little ignorant. Chu Qianchen feels that Chu Lingxiao is really harmful to people. He is afraid that the Shen family will raise Chu Yunyi to death after having a legitimate son, but he himself has raised Chu Yun well. Yi? !

Chu Qianchen simply expressed what Chu Yunyi was thinking: "Do you think they are not afraid of death?"

"..." Chu Yunyi was speechless.

Tang Yuchusan finished one crispy date in two mouthfuls, touched another, and said vaguely: "On the battlefield, life and death depend on fate. No one can guarantee that he will escape unscathed every time. There are many people who have severed hands and feet. Soldiers, they will survive even if they risk their lives.”

"Every time we go to the battlefield, what we think about is not whether we are afraid of death, but whether we want to survive."

"Especially as generals, what we think about is to lead the soldiers to survive, instead of just thinking about fearless life and death every day."

Tang Yuchu glanced at Chu Yunyi strangely, "I remember that you stayed in Xuanjia Camp for a month, didn't you?"

I mean, why don’t you even understand this!

After saying that, Tang Yuchu grabbed the crispy dates and ate them with relish.

Chu Qianchen gently twitched the corner of his mouth and added another stab: "You only have yourself in mind, and you don't have the overall situation. You don't even know the pros and cons. It's better not to go to the battlefield, so as not to harm others."
