Chapter 175: Juechen's Obsession
Chapter 175: Juechen's Obsession
Suddenly, a clear child's voice sounded: "Sister Juexin, why didn't the master come to send Brother Juechen and Jue San off?"
This question, like a thunderbolt, fell on the heart of everyone present.
Jueyi's heart tightened. Although she was only two years older than Jue'er, she was still a child.
However, in comparison, she is much more mature.
Just from those limited contacts with the master and that Prince Sheng, who seemed difficult to get along with.
She could guess that Prince Sheng's attitude towards their master was definitely not ordinary.
This time, Prince Sheng's subordinates asked Jue San to deliver the message to Yong'an Lane.
He said that he wanted to let Brother Juechen and Jue San, who had already entered the military camp, go to the Western Border together.
After receiving the news, they immediately set out of the city just to see them off.
In fact, Brother Juechen and Jue San knew it very well.
Because of his low status, he did not dare to expect his master to come and see him off in person.
For both of them, the greatest wish is to see their master come to see Prince Sheng off.
You can take this opportunity to kowtow to your master to express your gratitude.
However, things went against one's wishes. The master did not show up at this moment, and Prince Sheng was obviously a little unhappy.
It seemed that Jue Er might anger Prince Sheng because of his inappropriate words.
She was extremely anxious and quickly reached out to grab Jue Er, and looked at Sister Juexin and Sister Cui Niang for help.
Juexin sighed helplessly. She certainly knew what Jueyi was worried about.
Turning around to look at Juechen and Jue San who were filled with disappointment, he couldn't help but feel sad again.
Juexin took a deep breath, stepped forward, bowed and said:
"Prince Sheng, please calm down. Please forgive me for speaking so boldly. My master..."
Before he finished speaking, a figure flashed before his eyes, and Prince Sheng disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Juexin looked into the distance, his eyes fixed on the figure of a man riding a horse and galloping towards the city gate.
He murmured to himself, "Sheng... Prince Sheng, what's going on?"
Di Er, who was standing by, shrugged his shoulders and consoled Jue Xin with a smile, looking confused.
"Miss Juexin, don't worry. With the prince's broad mind, he will certainly not argue with a child."
After hearing this, Juexin nodded slightly to show his agreement, but he still had some doubts in his heart.
So he asked, "Second Lord Di, what exactly is Prince Sheng's intention in doing this?
It's already late, you should be setting off now, why are you going back to the city?"
Hearing this, Di Er looked up at the sky.
Then he looked at Huang Er and a strange smile appeared on his face.
He touched his nose subconsciously and replied:
"In my opinion, Your Majesty should go to the Princess's residence to bid farewell to her..."
Juexin was stunned when he heard this, and asked in surprise: "Go to the Princess's Mansion?
And at this time?" She couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
At this moment, Tian Er suddenly screamed, "What? The prince actually went to the princess's mansion?"
Then, he hurriedly jumped onto a horse and chased after Qian Wushang in the direction he left.
And shouted loudly: "Your Majesty... please wait a moment..."
Looking at Tian Er's receding back, Di Er couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "What an idiot!"
Facing Tianyi with an indifferent look and Huang Er with a look of contempt, Di Er narrowed his eyes, looking unfathomable.
Juechen lowered his head and brows, his eyes full of struggle and contradiction, his lips moved slightly but he seemed to want to speak but hesitated.
Finally, he mustered up the courage and whispered to Juexin:
"Sister, I...should I really not leave? The master has been so kind to us, and I..."
When Juexin heard this, he was shocked and there was a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Ever since the master gave them two names.
It seemed like it had been a long time since she heard her younger brother call her "sister" so naturally.
Hearing it suddenly at this moment, she felt as if she was in a dream.
Juexin calmed himself down and tried hard to calm the turmoil in his heart.
Then he slowly opened his mouth and asked, "You have decided to join the army and establish merit this time.
Could it be that you are just greedy for personal fame, wealth and honor?"
"Absolutely not!" Juechen denied it without hesitation.
He said in a firm tone, "Sister, I used to like wandering around.
I yearn for a carefree life and a world of revenge.
However, after what happened...”
At this point, Juechen's voice trembled slightly, but soon regained its firmness and decisiveness.
He continued, "Now I know the darkness of the officialdom and those officials.
Some pursue fame and fortune, some are corrupt and commit crimes, and even worse, some bully the locals and oppress the common people!
How many people can truly serve the country and the people?
But throughout history, the people have never fought against the officials!
Because officials protect each other, how can common people like us fight against them?
Even though I have martial arts skills, I can't protect my loved ones, and I can't protect the people I want to protect!"
Looking at Juechen, his red eyes, out-of-control emotions, and trembling voice.
Juexin just realized that...his younger brother had been blaming him for not saving the tribe members.
It turns out that my brother has never forgiven me!
Juexin felt a pain in his heart. It was not just his brother, he was the same!
Juechen calmed down a little and continued:
"Sister, I want to achieve great things and get promoted!
But I am not greedy for fame and fortune, nor do I want to enjoy a house full of gold and jade!
I just want to have enough ability to protect the people and the people I care about.
What I want more is the ability to stand firmly by my master's side!
only....."
Juechen felt a little uncomfortable, "I'm just worried that if I leave now, my master will be disappointed in me."
Before Juexin opened his mouth, Cuiniang, who was standing beside him, said with a smile:
"Brother Juechen, your worries are unnecessary. If the master doesn't want you to go to the West Territory...
Do you think you can join Prince Sheng's army? "
Upon hearing this, Juexin's eyes lit up, and he understood:
Yes, this time it was General Xuanyi under Prince Sheng who sent Jue San to inform Juechen.
But, if it wasn't for the master's intention, how could Prince Sheng think of them, mere common people!
Juechen and Juexin looked at each other, and Juechen's face, which had been filled with worry for two days, finally showed a hint of excitement.
Juexin also smiled with relief.
