Chapter 88: Seeds of Doubt, Emperor’s Mind Technique(1/2)
A few days later, it was 3:20 in the morning.
The night is fading, and many people in Daming Mansion are still sleeping.
Uchiha Tunan broke the silence, rushed into His Highness's room again, and dragged him to the courtyard of the school.
"Pah, pah, pah..."
The sound of whipping sounded one after another.
"Have mercy~"
His Highness kept crying out in sorrow, wishing he could die immediately.
It was obvious that this teacher Jingming had been targeting him, and he first said it was at four o'clock in the morning.
But every time, I would advance a little earlier and rush in at the moment I opened my eyes.
He hasn't had a good night's sleep in the past few days. The old injuries on his body haven't healed yet, and new tortures are coming one after another.
He tossed and turned in bed every day, the pain was so painful that he couldn't sleep until the early hours of the morning. He was pulled out and beaten again before he could sleep for a long time.
After all, he is also a human being, whether mentally or physically, His Highness can no longer bear it.
"Father...save me!"
His Highness has no other choice but to pin his hopes on his father.
I could only use up my last bit of energy to shout, but it was of no use.
At this time, the daimyo was standing outside the courtyard wall. Hearing the sound of beatings and screams coming from the courtyard, his face was full of unbearability.
A guard couldn't stand it anymore and came to the daimyo from the darkness.
"Your Highness, Mr. Qingming is abusing His Highness so much. I'm afraid His Highness's body won't be able to bear it. Do you really not care about it?"
The daimyo was slightly moved when he heard this. The person being beaten here was his biological son. How could he not feel distressed?
But he shook his head vigorously, and his mind kept replaying what Uchiha Tunan had said to him before.
"Pa!"
"If jade is not polished, it cannot be used."
Uchiha Tunan's deep shouts came from the courtyard, bringing the Daimyo back to reality.
"Old dog...when I ascend to the throne, I will definitely kill you."
His Highness could no longer bear the torture of these days. His heart was filled with hatred for Uchiha Tunan.
His Highness stared at Uchiha Tunan, with many red bloodshot eyes, and the veins on his forehead bulged out due to excessive exertion.
"Okay, I'll just wait for that day." Uchiha Tunan seemed to be dismissive of his words.
"Pa."
"Heaven has given great responsibility to this people."
"Pa."
"You must first work hard to achieve your goals."
"Pa."
"Work your muscles and bones."
……
"Pa."
"The body is empty."
......
These words are not only spoken to His Highness, but also to the great names outside the wall.
Half an hour later, His Highness lowered his head and narrowed his eyes slightly. The scene in front of him seemed to be blurred, and the consciousness in his head was almost diluted by the pain.
Uchiha Tunan once again brought up cold water and poured it on, waking up His Highness who was about to faint.
"Tell me what I talked about yesterday."
His Highness took a few deep breaths and spoke feebly: "Strategy for peace, heavy punishment in troubled times..."
Listening to the story of His Highness's plan for peace, the daimyo's eyes were slightly moist, he sighed, and said in his heart:
Very good... very good... Naraku, I'm sorry for you.
I hope you can escape from the clutches of Konoha.
Be a real famous person...
After thinking about it, the daimyo couldn't bear to hear any more, gritted his teeth and turned to leave.
In the courtyard, wait until His Highness finishes speaking.
Uchiha Tunan released the rope that bound His Highness.
His Highness fell to the ground, sweat dripping from his head in front of his face, and his clothes were stained with blood, but he still managed to stand up with his tired body.
Seeing this, Uchiha Tunan narrowed his eyes slightly and thought to himself:
Can you still stand up like this?
If you train this kind of physique from an early age, I am afraid you can become an outstanding ninja.
"Very good, come in with me."
The two came to the school classroom, and His Majesty slumped down in his seat, staring at Uchiha Tunan with dull eyes.
Uchiha Tunan came and knelt down opposite the palace, pondered for a moment, and said slowly:
"Do you know why I treat you and His Highness so differently?"
His Highness shook his head gently. He had been tortured for so many days and he didn’t know why.
Obviously I studied very hard and seriously.
"Because you are much better than His Highness, you are the most suitable person to be a daimyo."
When His Highness heard the words of inheriting the name, his back straightened unconsciously.
Uchiha Tunan glanced at him and suddenly sighed:
"Unfortunately, your father doesn't think so."
As soon as he finished speaking, His Highness's eyes were like daggers, flying towards Uchiha Tunan, looking directly at him:
"What do you mean."
Uchiha Tunan lightly stroked his beard and said calmly:
"I have my own qi-gazing technique, and everything in the world has qi.
And you, there is an aura of crape myrtle between your eyebrows."
"The energy of Ziwei?" His Highness was slightly startled, waiting for the other party's next words.
Uchiha Tunan nodded and said:
"Ziwei is the star in the center of the starry sky, surrounded by stars. I call it the Emperor Star.
If you can become a daimyo, you might be able to sweep across the country, unify the world, and become the world leader.
But it is a pity that His Highness the Daimyo prefers His Highness the Second Highness and wants to pass the position to him."
His Highness lowered his head after hearing this, remained silent for a while, then slowly shook his head and said, "I don't believe it."
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is much better than the second brother who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun.
He didn't think his father, who had always been wise, could be so confused.
The corners of Uchiha Tunan's mouth slightly curled up, and he said leisurely:
"Didn't you notice?
No matter what His Highness the Second Highness does, His Highness the Daimyo will not severely punish him.
It is enough to show that His Highness the Daimyo dotes on His Second Highness.
Why am I so cruel to you, and His Highness the Daimyo doesn’t stand up for you?
Aren't you surprised why I don't dare to treat His Highness like this?
Because I know that once His Highness is touched, my head will be in danger tomorrow."
When His Highness heard this, he was shocked and thought about it secretly.
But I found that what Uchiha Tunan said seemed to be true.
These days, he has been injured like this, but his father still ignores him.
Moreover, he heard from the attendants that the second brother would go to his father's place after class every day.
Whether his father was eating or dealing with political affairs, he would always take him with him.
