Chapter 116
Chapter 116
"Third brother, my protagonist has been penetrated?"
【No. 】
Ni Yangzhou looked solemn, as if he was looking at a terminally ill patient:
"What did you dream about? What man?"
Min Liu's palms were damp, and the shoulders he had been squeezing seemed to lose strength all of a sudden. His eyes fluttered slightly like butterfly wings:
"……No."
"Min Liu."
Ni Yangzhou said, including his full name:
"Mr. Zhang once told me that the current situation is turbulent and the situation is not in your favor. I have already chosen a name for you. What is your name?"
The young man lowered his eyes:
"True meaning.
Min Zhenyi. "
"Breaking willow branches to bid farewell, with no real feelings. You lied to me using such a name?"
The young man lowered his head, and his black hair fell to his chest:
"Brother, I can't tell you."
Ni Yangzhou frowned. As this was a mission, he spoke in a serious tone:
"Is there anything you can't say?"
Min Liu raised her head again, with an abnormal blush on her face and a strange and shy look on her face.
The thin lips trembled, and then closed angrily.
"Okay, stop talking."
Ni Yangzhou had also followed the trend and read quite a few novels, but he never expected that such a scene would fall on him. He was so embarrassed by the look of wanting to say something but stopping himself that he wanted to bang his head on the ground.
"You go back first. I'm going to the military camp tonight to discuss something with Mr. Zhang."
Ni Yangzhou originally wanted to take advantage of the hard-won meeting to ask Min Liu to talk about whether there were any new clues in his recent dreams, but he didn't expect things to develop like this. He just wanted to get rid of the person and sort out his thoughts.
"I do not go."
The young man's tone was a little anxious, but he seemed to have realized his mistake immediately and said calmly:
"I have something to tell my brother."
Ni Yangzhou closed his mouth, took a few steps back, distanced himself, retreated to the bedside, and looked at the young man sitting on a chair in the distance.
"If you have something to say, tell me what it is."
Min Liu dropped his hands to his knees, like a puppy that couldn't bark.
"In the dream, my previous life..." Min Liu's speech slowed down, and he sorted out his logic as he spoke.
"In the dream, I am the Second Prince. There is no Second Prince now. My name is Liu Zining."
Ni Yangzhou nodded without saying anything, as he had guessed it long ago.
"After three years of drought, Rong and Di joined forces and in August of this year, without declaring war, they massacred the city directly, seized the initiative, and took over twelve counties in the north."
Ni Yangzhou lowered his brows and sat up straight.
"I was ordered to lead the army in person, and General Chang and I fought for a year. We successfully repelled the two tribes and made them sign an alliance, ensuring that the border would be worry-free for ten years."
This was a very fast war in the era of cold weapons.
"After the mission was completed, I returned to the imperial city. There were constant assassinations along the way. When I arrived, I learned that after the death of the crown prince, the emperor became addicted to elixirs and refused to govern. The third and fourth princes fought openly and secretly, and the former dynasty was in a state of chaos."
"If it weren't for General Chang's foresight, who stationed troops and stored food a few years in advance, risking his life and death, and fighting a surprise attack, the northern military would have been dragged down by the chaotic court sooner or later."
"After I returned, I gained support... and overthrew the Third and Fourth Princes, successfully becoming the emperor."
Ni Yangzhou could hear the bloody storm hidden in it, as well as the unspoken difficulties and obstacles. He just opened his eyes:
“This is also what I expect from you.”
Min Liu looked at the person beside the bed: "Do you have to be the emperor?"
Ni Yangzhou's face was serious: "I must become the emperor."
"Is it important to my brother?"
Ni Yangzhou exhaled: "It's very important."
Min Liu lowered his eyes again and paused for a few seconds:
"Brother, I never saw you in my dream."
After listening to Min Liu's more detailed dream, Ni Yangzhou relaxed a lot. He thought that although there was no plot line and the two reborn people, a crown prince and a fourth prince, were difficult to approach and get their words out of, at least he still had a protagonist who could dream about his past life.
The task suddenly became much clearer and more detailed.
"me?"
Ni Yangzhou recalled the original owner, Taoist Cheng Wang’s personality, and said, “In your previous life, you were still the second prince, and you didn’t live among the common people. So naturally, I would have been observing the stars and practicing in seclusion.”
Min Liu nodded with a heavy heart, and said: "In my previous life, I didn't have jade when I was a child."
Ni Yangzhou heard this and thought about the timeline, but he didn't quite understand:
"You'll have it when you grow up?"
"No," the young man stood up from his chair, walked to Ni Yangzhou, slowly squatted down, and fixed his eyes on Ni Yangzhou's collar:
"It was intermittent. One day I woke up and suddenly had it."
Ni Yangzhou wondered, "What about this lifetime?"
Min Liu moved his head closer, like a small animal that only wanted to be touched by its owner: "I had it when I was a child. I don't know who gave it to me. I used to think it was a keepsake left by my family. I walked through it in a dream and realized that in that 'home', no one was attached to me."
"Queen..."
"My biological mother is the former queen, who died during childbirth. The queen is my biological mother's younger sister."
Ni Yangzhou did not hear any emotion in this narration.
"Your adventure." Ni Yangzhou kept the rest of the words to himself so as not to cause the other party any more trouble.
"Yes, keep it well."
"Yes, brother." Min Liu took out the jade pendant from his lapel, and without taking it off, he still tied it with a red string and placed the jade pendant directly into Ni Yangzhou's palm.
Warm, soft jade.
Ni Yangzhou's palms seemed to be burned.
"You...you should put it away first."
Ni Yangzhou hurriedly stuffed the jade pendant back, not daring to look at it any longer. He turned his eyes away quickly and did not see the silence that flashed across Min Liu's face.
Min Liu did not stand up, still squatting in front of him. The light and shadow from outside the paper window was limited, and was largely blocked by the young man. Ni Yangzhou did not notice, and was still thinking about the task:
"Can the war in August be avoided?"
Ni Yangzhou knew that following the original plan might make Min Liu's ascension to the throne more legitimate, but now that his identity had changed, the Fourth Prince's situation was still an unknown.
A character who had been an honest palace fighter in his previous life actually rebelled in this life. It might not be safe to follow the old path. Moreover, from Ni Yangzhou's point of view, knowing the truth and still condoning it, sending away so many civilians' lives in vain, was no different from committing a sin.
It seemed like a fool's dream, but Min Liu nodded obediently:
"I have discussed the situation in my previous life with Mr. Zhang, and he has a plan to disintegrate the alliance from within."
"It's time to start."
Min Liu nodded: "We have sent people there to ambush in a suitable location, waiting for the signal from our side."
Ni Yangzhou no longer had a worry in his heart and thought that the student in front of him was smart and a good student.
"Xiao Liu is very thoughtful." Ni Yangzhou couldn't help but smile and touched the little curled hair of the young man.
Min Liu tilted his head obediently and said:
"I will listen to my brother. I will try my best to make sure he gets what he wants."
Ni Yangzhou's mouth corners raised with joy.
"So brother, can I say that I miss you very much?"
