Chapter 46, Wei Wu's identity
Yuezhou is the most severe among the three disasters this time. There are a large number of unmanned villages, barren fields can be seen everywhere, and some county towns have lost their former prosperity and noisy. Even Yuezhou City is not as lively as before the disaster.
At this time, the sky was dark and the lights were on. In the past, it was the most lively time in Yuezhou City. However, due to the impact of the disaster, prices soared, and some small vendors were sparsely scattered on the streets. Although they were trying their best to sell, few people were interested in it.
Chen Qi and his party entered Yuezhou City. Chen Qi looked at the somewhat desolate streets and couldn't help but sigh: "Yuezhou is also a prefecture as famous as Yunzhou, but its prosperity is far from Yunzhou."
Guo Dongming said: "I heard that the prosperity of Yuezhou is not as good as Yunzhou, and it is even more so after the disaster this time."
Chen Qi said: "I hope this disaster relief will not be the same as last time."
Guo Dongming said: "Definitely not, because there is a young master here this time."
Chen Qi smiled and said, "Yes, yes, since Brother Wei has led to this matter, he will definitely do it."
"Well," Guo Dongming nodded, "If the young master learned that Brother Chen was here, he would be very happy. Let's go quickly."
Chen Qi nodded with a smile, and then the crowd continued to move forward.
The Yuezhou Inn in the dark night was brightly lit, and guards were surrounded by soft armor and weapons. People were in and out of the inn from time to time, but unless the person entering had a special token, they had to pass the notice from the guards at the gate.
Chen Qi and his group arrived at the gate of the inn, all dismounted and stood beside them. Guo Dongming came to the gate and said to the guards: "Go and report to General Xue, and then say Chen Qi is here to see him."
Seeing that Guo Dongming said it directly, the guards did not dare to neglect it. With a "wait" sound, they turned around and entered the yard.
"Brother Chen!"
At a moment, Wei Wu walked out of the courtyard quickly, Xue Chen followed closely behind, and when he saw the two of them coming, all the guards knelt down on one knee to salute.
Wei Wu was slightly different from when he appeared in Xingyun Temple that day. He had a hint of nobility in his majestic artifacts, and even his outfit was slightly different.
Chen Qi looked at Wei Wu and said, "I haven't seen each other for a month, but I didn't expect that Brother Wei seemed to have changed."
Wei Wu smiled and said, "The person has not changed, and the heart has not changed. Brothers can come, and Wei is very grateful."
Chen Qi said: "Brother Wei, you are polite. Brother Wei has been working hard for the country and the people for days. It is also necessary for me and Ximei to be a guard."
Wei Wu smiled and said, "Brothers are joking, we are talking inside." After that, he led everyone into the inn.
After entering the room, Wei Wuping retreated the idle people, and only the brothers and sisters of Wei Wu, Xue Chen, Guo Dongming and Chen Qi were left in the room.
Ding Muxi smiled and said, "Brother Wei should be a high-ranking official in such a formation."
Wei Wu smiled and said, "Miss Ding thinks I am a big official?"
Ding Muxi said: "Although I don't know how big your official position is, from the moment they saw you, your identity must be extraordinary."
Chen Qi also said: "When I first met Brother Wei, I thought you were not an ordinary person, but I didn't ask much at that time."
Wei Wu smiled and said, "Is my identity important to you?"
Chen Qi said: "I made friends with you as a person. We have similar temperaments. You recognize me and I recognize you. That's all. As for what your identity is, it's really not important to me. When it comes to mention it now, I'm just curious for a moment. Brother Wei doesn't have to mind. I think the time is here, and you will tell me."
Wei Wudao: "I won't tell you at that time. First, we met for the first time. Although we hit it off at first, I still have to be prepared because I am in danger. In addition, I am afraid that you will know my identity and have some concerns. You cannot be friends who can talk about everything, or even lose friends like you."
Chen Qi said: "Brother Wei is worried. I just said that I am a person who is you, not your identity. I am a man from the world. Even if you are a prince, it has nothing to do with me."
Wei Wu smiled and said, "Since Brother Chen said that, then I will tell you my true identity, I am a prince."
When Chen Qi heard this, he immediately jumped out of the chair. Ding Muxi, who had been listening to the conversation between the two, also stood up in surprise, while Xue Chen and Guo Dongming had a faint smile on their faces.
Chen Qi shook his head, "I didn't expect that Brother Wei is really a prince. Although I had such a guess before, I was still shocked when you told me the truth."
Wei Wudao: "Actually, my name is not Wei Wu. My real name is Ji Xuan. I am the ninth son of the current emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty. In order to cover up, I can only give this false name."
Chen Qi said: "Brother Wei, no, I can't call you that now..."
Ji Xuan said: "If Brother Chen doesn't dislike us, we are still brothers. You can continue to call me Wei Wu."
Chen Qi said: "It's good that this is the case. The one I met was Wei Wu, but in order to avoid being idle, I will call you Your Highness in front of others in the future, and I will call you Brother Wei in private."
Ji Xuan smiled and said, "I am very happy that Brother Chen can think like this!"
Chen Qi said: "I don't know why Brother Wei, as a prince, was intercepted and killed before."
"This is a long story. Although I am a prince, I was sent to the sect when I was in my teens." Ji Xuan pointed to Guo Dongming and said, "He is my second senior brother. This time I left the master, and his master asked the second senior brother to protect me. As for why I was intercepted, that was my family matter."
Ding Muxi said: "Royal affairs cannot be regarded as family affairs alone."
Ji Xuan smiled and said, "Miss Ding said that this cannot be said to be a family matter, because it involves the dispute over the throne, which concerns the survival of the Great Wei."
Chen Qi said: "I know who is going to kill you."
Ji Xuan nodded, "The one who wants to kill me is my second emperor's brother. We are two sons who are my father's only living in the world. My second brother is the heir to the throne chosen by my father. His father is sick. Most of the government affairs have been handed over to my second brother in recent years. But for some reason, he made a mess of the government affairs, valued the treacherous charity, suppressed wise ministers, and the prevalence of corruption has caused my Wei to be full of holes. If we don't make any rectifications, we may be in danger."
Chen Qi said: "Since he is the heir to the throne, wouldn't he be the crown prince of the dynasty?"
Wei Wudao: "Although the father chose him as the heir to the throne, he did not make him the crown prince. He wanted to keep him awake at all times and avoid being arrogant."
Chen Qi said: "Looking at this point, this should be a mistake."
Wei Wudao: "Although he was not made the crown prince, he should know in his heart that the throne will belong to him sooner or later."
Chen Qi said: "Aren't you there?"
Wei Wu smiled and said, "When I was ten years old, I was suffering from a strange disease. My father had all the royal power, but there was no way. Just in despair, he suddenly remembered a friend he made while walking in the world in the early years, so he sent someone to send me with a token. This is my current master."
"After my master checking it out, I found that what I got was not a strange disease, but a chronic poison. The master searched the ancient pharmacopoeia and searched all over the world to make poison experts, and finally found a way to get rid of the poison. Because I was too poisoned and my body was weak, while helping me detoxify, my master asked me to practice some exercises to strengthen my body."
"It took more than two years to completely remove the poison in my body. At that time, I was also obsessed with martial arts and did not want to leave my master. My father was very happy to learn that the poison in my body was eliminated. Although he had been pursuing the people who poisoned me in the past two years, there was no progress. He was afraid that I would suffer an accident again when I returned to Beijing, so he asked me to stay with my master."
Chen Qi said: "The emperor now invites you to return to Beijing. Are you going to replace him?"
Ji Xuan said: "It's not that I must replace him. I have been away from the court for a long time and have no interest in imperial power. I just want to be a hero who is a hero who is brave and righteous, and I can do whatever he wants to be with his sword. So when I meet Brother Chen, I feel very speculative. But after all, I came from the royal family and when I am in trouble, I will take my duty. My father invited me back this time to shock, check and balance him, and make him feel a sense of crisis, so that he can stop and change his mind."
Chen Qi said: "But he thinks you are here to seize his throne."
Ji Xuan said: "That's why he hired the Jianghu Killer Organization to kill me."
Chen Qi said: "In the end, he failed. This is called "Take the truth and the power to the truth and the power to the point of being helpless."
Ji Xuan said: "I hope he can repent from the bottom of my heart, so that the throne will be his, so that I can go to the world of heroes with Brother Chen."
Chen Qi smiled and said, "I hope Brother Wei's wish can come true."
