Chapter 704 – A Home Prepared for You
There were times when Chen Zhongqi felt that he couldn’t even be considered a lonely hero, and he spent the entire afternoon sitting on a chair and thinking about a question … When others mentioned who Chen Zhongqi was, what kind of label would he put on himself?
The son of the Holy Emperor Chen Wunuo.
Chen Zhongqi laughed bitterly, then, out of nowhere, he grabbed the teacup in front of him and smashed it outside the window. The tea spilled all over him, but he did not feel the water was hot. In fact, he found that he seemed to have lost all feeling.
Except anger.
He wanted to do something to make the world remember him, to be the kind of person who could change anything in the world. He had even looked down on his father in some ways, because he had always believed that his father enjoyed the fame of being the greatest emperor in all of history only because of the word ‘perfection’. Yes, it was just a defense. He guarded the foundation left behind by his ancestors and did not lose a single point.
However, this was exactly the case. He was the supreme emperor of all time. Did he change anything? It wasn’t like that. He was even rigid and conservative, likombstone. The tombstone was carved with the names of his ancestors.
She stood beside him, shivering from the fall of her quilt. She knew that she was the woman Chen Zhongqi liked the most, even if she was just a brothel girl. Perhaps the people of this world would never believe that the exalted Prince of Great Xixi actually fell for a brothel girl and didn’t dare to redeem her.
This was because once word of this matter spread, even the Saint King would not let her off. That’s right, it was not that he would not let Chen Zhongqi go, but he would let her go. With Chen Zhongqi’s status and influence, as long as he could speak with the brothel, or even have his subordinates pass down a single word, the brothel would obediently send the Nine Resurrection Red Butterfly over to the prince’s residence. But no, Chen Zhongqi did not dare to do that.
This matter couldn’t be hidden. If it was known, the Sacred Emperor would immediately send someone to kill her for the sake of the clan’s face.
But now, Chen Zhongqi seemed to be fearless. He had lost everything, so he didn’t care about his reputation. Even if Chen Zhongqi had already been demoted to a bastard, the owner of the brothel would not dare to offend her, because no one knew when the prince would become the prince again. After all, he was the son of the Saint Emperor. Life and death, success or failure, respect or inferiority, all depended on the thoughts of that number one under the heavens.
Zhihong didn’t know how she had attracted Chen Zhongqi, but she knew that she should accompany him now. It was for no other reason but because he doted on and pitied her. Even if the entire world abandoned him, she would not do so.
Perhaps, this was the kind of love that a brothel girl couldn’t aspire to. So he thought he was lucky. No one was luckier than her. Because of Chen Zhongqi’s tender love for her, the brothel didn’t dare for her to entertain any other guests, and even treated her like a queen instead.
She reached out her hand and held Chen Zhongqi’s hand.
Chen Zhongqi stared blankly for a while, only then did he remember that she was still by his side, and smiled: “Tell me, if I am incompatible with this world, is it my fault, or the world’s fault?”
“Perhaps, it is because you are ahead of many people that they do not understand you.”
She was a good talker, and there was nothing wrong with that. Whoever grumbled could cope with this and make people feel like they were really amazing.
“You only know how to talk.”
Chen Zhongqi’s hand that was being held by her suddenly stiffened, then said with a wry smile: “Actually you don’t understand me, you’re only very good at speaking.”
Hong Lingtong felt a little bit scared, as if he had lost something in an instant. “That’s right …” I don’t know you. The reason is because I’m not even as many people as you are when it comes to keeping me by your side. When we met, we talked about the wind and the moon, and the scenery, and the old days, but we never talked about the land of the rivers and the mountains, so I don’t understand you. “What I understand is the other you, the man who knows how to love and cherish me, the man who is willing to give up on me.”
Chen Zhongqi’s expression changed as he pulled her into his embrace, “I’m out of place in this world and I don’t blame anyone. The person that I admire the most is Fang Zheng, you must have heard of this name before. Under the heavens, there is no one in the Great Xixi that has not heard of this name. I think he’s my confidant, he can change a lot of things, and what he’s going to change and what I’m going to change are exactly the same goals. ”
“But he is too inflexible. He follows the so-called rules.”
Chen Zhongqi’s face darkened: “But who set the rules? It’s all those fucking powerhouses. Were the rules they set really for the sake of the commoners? No, they were doing it for him. What I want to break is not only those rules, but also the composition of this society. What would happen if a country did not have an emperor? ”
Chen Zhongqi asked this question, as if it was a great injustice. As the son of Daxi Shenghuang, his words were twice as outrageous.
Xi Ri Jiu trembled in fear and subconsciously raised his hand to cover Chen Zhongqi’s mouth: “You can’t say that.”
Chen Zhongqi took her hand away and smiled indifferently: “Let me tell you, if I had been given more time, I would definitely have been able to do it. Let this world not have an emperor, not even a country. Everyone was on equal footing. Everything was decided through consultation. That kind of world was the truly perfect world. No class, no rich. I thought that Fang Zheng would understand me, but he actually doesn’t! ”
Chen Zhongqi fiercely clenched his fist, and let out a soft cry filled with pain.
However, Chen Zhongqi did not let go, and his eyes became fierce: “The only way to change the world is to shatter everything that already exists. Let all rules, levels, existing ways be broken, let the world suffer, then people will know to cherish. At that time, the rebuilt society would become peaceful and orderly, and everyone would become humble and harmonious. “They would be afraid of the war and afraid of death. Every time a war is mentioned, they would be too scared to sleep …”
Chen Zhongqi looked at Xi Hong Jiu, “Do you understand?”
“I don’t understand, but I know you’re working hard, so tired. I know I have to stay with you.”
Chen Zhongqi’s heart warmed. He stood up and looked outside: “You can take a good look at this place. Tomorrow, this place will no longer belong to me. Everything here will be turned into Yuwen Clan’s property, without a doubt, Yuwen Clan is the Chen Clan’s best dog, and they deserve suceward. If it was someone else who was living here, I would feel wronged. If it was someone from the Yuwen Clan, then it would be fine. Da Xi world is not as stable as people seem to be. If not for the fact that the Yuwen clan had been carrying them in the northwest, Da Xi world would have been in turmoil a long time ago. ”
Zhihong shook his head, “I won’t look. I won’t look at anything. I’ll only look at you.”
At this moment, the steward came running in, followed by a man in a cloak witat covering his face. The steward ran out of the room in one breath. He did not even have the time to enter the room before he anxiously said through the window, “Your Highness …”
Before he could finish speaking, the person wearing the cape had already reached the window. He raised his head, glanced at Chen Zhongqi, then lowered his head again and directly entered the room.
That one glance, made Chen Zhongqi’s entire being go stiff.
“You all... “All of you can leave.”
Chen Zhongqi waved his hands, signalling for the manager and the rest of the nine to go out. However, the person who entered the room shook his head, “Head Steward, please leave. She stays behind. I still have a few words to say to her.”
Strangely, when this person spoke like that, not only did Chen Zhongqi not get angry nor retort, he was even stunned for a moment before nodding: “Then you stay.”
The man entered the room, closed the door and the window, turned his hat back, and fell to his knees. “Brother, I’m late.”
Chen Zhongqi pulled him up, “You’re courting death!”
The man raised his head and smiled indifferently, “If I don’t come to send you off, it would be worse than death.”
It was actually the Duke of Qin, Chen Zhongxu, who was leading troops from the south!
Chen Zhongqi said angrily: “At this moment, you should be leading a huge army of hundreds of thousands of soldiers to the south. You should be berating them on the battlefield, bringing a Da Xi general to flatten the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain, and not tens of thousands of miles away to come back and tell me about this. If royal father knew about this, everything that you have right now would be gone. It would be difficult for you to return from the northwest, because this moment of impulse might cause you to lose everything! ”
“I know.”
Chen Zhongxu sat down on the chair. “I’ve already been in the Northwest for more than twenty years. At worst, I’ll just go back to the Northwest and enjoy myself drinking with you.”
“Why did you risk your life to come back?!”
“You know that.”
Chen Zhongxu glanced at Chen Zhongqi. “I still remember how stinging I felt when father accidentally said it himself. He said that if you hadn’t snatched me from my cradle, he would have already fallen to the ground and killed me. No one else dared to stop him. Only you, why? Because you know you’re the older brother. ”
Chen Zhongxu patted his chest: “So I know, I’m your little brother.”
That proud and arrogant Chen Zhongqi actually started crying all of a sudden.
Chen Zhongxu glanced at Xin Hong Jiu, “I have a few words with you, then you can leave. We brothers still have something to say … I don’t know why my brother likes you. Regardless of background, regardless of appearance, or talent, he chose you. I don’t interfere with his choice and don’t say anything about it because it is my brother’s choice. But as a brother, I have something that I must warn you of … He chose to take you over at this time because he wanted to hold hands with you. If anyone has sent anyone to harm him, I will kill your entire family. Then, we will dig up the graves of the previous three generations, and not a single blade of grass will grow within the clan. ”
He waved his hand. “You can go.”
Hong Lingtong trembled as he looked at Chen Zhongqi with eyes filled with grievance. However, he did not say a single word, but only slightly bent down to pay his respects, and then, he left.
Chen Zhongqi looked at Hong Lingtong as he left, “The words that you have spoken just now, are a little too harsh.”
Chen Zhongxu said: “You know that I’m not trying to scare people, and will not joke around.”
Chen Zhongqi acknowledged his presence, “Actually, I also know that she is my father’s woman. Only I believe she has changed. But you shouldn’t show yourself to her. You might lose everything. I don’t care, I’ve lost everything. ”
Chen Zhongxu said: “You don’t care, what do I need to be afraid of. In the future, I will call her sister-in-law. Do you think I won’t dare to appear in front of her? If it proves you are wrong, then my loss is worth it. If this proves that you chose the right person, then I am even less afraid of anything. ”
His tone suddenly turned serious. “Why did you choose to remain silent?”
Chen Zhongqi laughed bitterly: “Otherwise?”
“Those people are stepping on you. They should be allowed to die. “Even if I think that what you said was wrong, as a member of the Chen family, you still can’t allow others to betray you.”
Chen Zhongqi said: “Do you think Father will let them go?”
Chen Zhongxu said: “That is Father’s matter, but it is still better to avenge himself. If Big Brother does not feel at ease, let me. ”
Chen Zhongqi waved his hand, “No, I have said before that the only obstacle in front of me in this world is not my father, not Fang Zheng, nor is it Xi HongJiu. It’s you. If you stand in front of me and don’t let me do those things, I’ll stop. But all these years, you haven’t done anything. “Now that you’re up front, I can’t ruin everything for you.”
“Brother, do you think I don’t know why you did that?”
Chen Zhongxu laughed, “Why did father throw me to death in the first place? It’s because my bloodline is not noble enough to be worthy of my surname, Chen. Because of this, your heart has never changed since you were young. Why do you need to have levels? Why should there bigh and low? Why did bloodlines have to be divided into noble ones or not? “It’s not like humans are f * cking animals!”
Chen Zhongqi’s face turned white, and started trembling.
Chen Zhongxu stood up and walked to Chen Zhongqi’s side, and patted his shoulder: “You are my brother, no matter who dares to stop me, I will not yield and say that you are not my brother. Go to the northwest first, there is no one to harm you in the northwest. I haven’t done anything in the past twenty years and I’ve already prepared a home for you. ”
