Chapter 42 Brothers Meet
Zhou Kang was suppressed by Yicheng's momentum and did not dare to act rashly for a while, feeling horrified in his heart.
Although he knew that Yicheng's cultivation was successful, he was confident that after many years of killing, his cultivation was not inferior to that of any martial sect. However, the powerful momentum displayed by Yicheng at this moment shocked him inexplicably.
Could it be that the young man in front of him was not only a martial artist, but also that he had the strength of a martial king at such a young age? This was so unbelievable that Zhou Kang couldn't help but change his expression.
At this time, Zhao Deyuan also realized that the situation on the field was not right, and in an instant he made a decision in his heart. He stepped forward to hold Zhou Kang and said: "General Zhou, please be patient. I don't think Young Master Xiao has any ill intentions. We might as well sit down and have a chat first."
."
Zhou Kang was pulled to sit down by Zhao Deyuan, his expression of surprise did not diminish at all.
Zhao Deyuan first got close to Yi Chengtao and said: "Yesterday, Quan Zi came back from Qianlong Lake and praised Xiao Shaoxia endlessly. You young people should get closer to each other more in the future. I hope Shaoxia will give me more advice."
When Yi Cheng saw him mentioning his younger brother, he smiled slightly and said: "Young Master Ling is a handsome young man who will have an unlimited future. Xiao is just a martial artist who is used to being alone and does not want to have anything to do with the imperial court. Therefore, the emperor's imperial edict forgives me."
I can't accept it anymore."
Zhou Kang also calmed down at this time and said to Yi Cheng: "Young Master Xiao has a high level of cultivation. He has such martial arts at such a young age. I have only seen him in my life. I have offended many people the past few days. I hope you will not blame me. I just don't know who your father is."
But I don't know any old friend named Xiao."
At this moment, Yicheng was hesitant whether to explain the matter clearly. If he did, these two people, as important officials of the imperial court, would definitely hinder him from doing anything if they knew about it.
Because of his younger brother, he would not harm Zhao Deyuan, and Yicheng did not care about the obstacles they would bring.
Since I can't make a decision now, whether to tell my brother about my father, I might as well explain it to Zhao Deyuan first, maybe there is some way.
While Yicheng was deep in thought, Zhou Kang and Zhou Kang remained silent, waiting for his answer.
Yicheng made a decision at this moment and said to the two of them: "My lords, my surname is not Xiao, my surname is Yi. Has General Zhou ever figured out who his late father was?"
After Zhou Kang heard this, he lowered his head to recall and pondered for a moment. He said with a surprised look on his face: "Your surname is Yi, and Yi Anguo is your father! I really didn't expect that Yi Anguo would have such an outstanding son. Hey, we have been fighting for more than ten years, and we have always failed."
No matter who wins or loses, in the end, although he died, it was not due to the fault of the battle, but this time I lost. He has a son as good as you, and he can smile. If my boy is half as good as you, I will be satisfied.
Already."
At this moment, Zhao Deyuan also understood why Yicheng did not want to have too much contact with the court. Thinking of what Prince Shuo just said, everything became clear.
After the morning meeting today, the emperor left several important ministers to discuss matters in the study. Zhao Deyuan heard Zhao Tianci talk about Xiao Yi yesterday, so he told the emperor that the free swordsman who solved the drought in Cangzhou should be rewarded when he arrived in the capital.
Prince Shuo was also on the scene, so he told Yicheng about his performance at the auction that day, thinking that he was arrogant and inconsistent with what the Cangzhou governor had said. He was unworthy of his reputation and could not be used.
After hearing what the two said, the emperor thought that Prince Shuo would not slander him without hesitation, but Xiao Yi's clever methods and extraordinary strategies in solving the disaster in Cangzhou were indispensable, and he should still be rewarded, so as not to chill the hearts of the knights in the world.
So Zhao Deyuan was sent to announce the decree, first to reward him for his merits, and secondly to win him over to the imperial court.
Zhou Kang also wanted to see Xiao Yi. Firstly, he injured his son. Secondly, he said that his father had an old relationship with him. He also wanted to know who his father was, so he asked the emperor for orders to come with Zhao Deyuan.
Now it seems that the emperor's order may not be fulfilled this time, but the strength shown by Yi Cheng is too amazing. If he harbors resentment towards the court, the danger and fear caused will be unbearable for them. Thinking of this, Zhao Deyuan and Zhou Kang
I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Zhao Deyuan hurriedly explained: "Yi Shaoxia, I also feel sorry for what happened to you, but what happened back then was helpless. The two countries fought with countless casualties, and finally unified the mainland. Now the world has been settled, all industries are waiting for prosperity, and people's livelihood is gradually improving."
Now that the people are living and working in peace and contentment, a peaceful and prosperous age that has not been seen in thousands of years is coming.
Today, Your Majesty is diligent and works hard for the affairs of the country every day. He dare not slack off even for a day, for fear of losing what he said back then and betraying the wishes of the people in the world. He deserves to be a wise king who will never live in this world. It is really not appropriate to start another war at this time, causing the people to live in dire straits and His Majesty's safety not to be tolerated.
Although I have failed, I hope that Young Master Yi can put aside his past grudges and benefit all people in the world."
After saying this, Zhao Deyuan stood up, bowed his hands, and looked at Yicheng expectantly.
Yi Cheng put down the teacup in his hand but did not speak immediately. Zhou Kang also stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Yi Shaoxia, you can solve the crisis in Cangzhou. It shows that you love the people and are ruthless in war. There is no right or wrong in your life."
As a soldier, I have killed countless people throughout my life.
If I die under the iron cavalry I command, if one day I die in battle and my body is wrapped in horse leather, I will definitely have no regrets. It is a well-deserved death. I believe that if General Yi knew what happened today, he would not want to cause chaos in the world and loss of life.
.I hope Young Master Yi will think twice."
When Yicheng heard this, he also sighed in his heart. He knew these truths well. If he were not afraid of the unrest in the world, Yicheng would have made a decision long ago and would not be so hesitant.
I saw him saying to the two of them: "Please sit down, you two. Of course I understand these truths. Since ancient times, throughout the dynasties and in the succession of temples, there have always been winners and losers. There is no right or wrong, and no one can sort out the grudges. But as a human being
Son and father are sworn enemies. I fled with my mother when I was a child. Eventually, my mother died, my brothers and sisters were separated, my country was ruined, and I was left alone in a foreign land. Do you think these hatreds and hatreds can be settled with just a few big words?"
Yicheng's voice was fierce at the end of his speech.
Zhao Deyuan and Zhou Kang were also silent. Some things cannot be solved in a few words. If Yicheng is mediocre, it will be fine. But with his strength, it is hard to say how far he will grow to become a King of Martial Arts or a Martial God.
The two of them couldn't help but feel hairy in their hearts. Zhao Deyuan said helplessly: "We also know that it is not possible to resolve these hatreds in just a few words. We only hope that Yi Shaoxia will think twice and not make the people of the world suffer from war again."
Yicheng didn't want to dwell on this at this moment, so he said to them: "Let's not talk about it for now. I haven't made up my mind yet, but if one day I make a decision, I will go there openly. You don't have to wait.
I am on guard, fearing that I might be unfavorable to the emperor. I have another matter that I wanted to go to Mr. Zhao in the near future, and I happened to see him today, so I will tell you here. However, this matter is a private matter. Can General Zhou please wait a moment?"
Zhou Kang didn't know why Yi Cheng was looking for Zhao Deyuan. Zhao Deyuan himself was also confused, but he and Zhou Kang had been officials in the same dynasty for decades and had a close personal relationship. He said to Yi Cheng, "Young Master Yi, it doesn't matter. I have a good relationship with General Zhou's family."
For generations, there have been no secrets between the two of us."
When Yicheng heard this, he stopped mentioning it and said, "How does Mr. Zhao think I compare with you?"
Zhao Deyuan didn't know what he meant by this and said: "Young hero is joking, Quanzi only has some superficial skills, how can he compare with young hero."
Yi Cheng knew that he was humble, and added: "Let's not talk about martial arts. I am just a few years older, and it doesn't matter. What does Mr. Zhao think of my appearance and your son's appearance?"
Zhao Deyuan was a little confused, how could Yicheng compete with his son, even in appearance, so he took a closer look at Yicheng.
This didn't seem to matter. After careful comparison, he found something wrong. Although his son looked different from the Yicheng in front of him, one was a young man who was successful, high-spirited and energetic, while the other was young and mature, doing things well.
He is calm and there is no impetuous look on his face, but in comparison, there are some similarities between the two people's eyebrows.
Zhao Deyuan was so surprised that he murmured: "This...this...what's going on with Yi Shaoxia now? You and Quanzi..."
Zhou Kang also noticed something strange about Zhao Deyuan at this time, and looked at Yicheng in surprise.
Seeing that Zhao Deyuan had seen the clues, Yi Cheng did not hide it and said with sentimentality: "I just said that I have been separated from my siblings since I was a child. They were abducted by traitors and their whereabouts are unknown. In the past few years, I have searched the mainland just to find them.
Whereabouts. Hard work paid off, and I finally found them one by one. My son Zhao Tianci is my long-lost brother Yi Hui."
After saying this, Yi Cheng took out the jade plaque with his name engraved on it from his arms, placed it in front of Zhao Deyuan and said, "Has Mr. Zhao seen this thing?"
Zhao Deyuan picked up the jade plaque and after identifying it, he looked at Yi Cheng with a horrified look on his face and said with uncertainty, "You mean the gift from heaven is your brother, the second son of General Yi?"
Yi Chengdao: "Yes, Zhao Tianci is Yi Hui. He was separated from me when he was three years old. He was trafficked by the villain Jia Liu in Canglan City. The adopted person called himself Zhao. He was in his early thirties and met my brother while passing through Canglan City."
.These are all said by Jia Liu himself,
I wonder if Mr. Zhao remembers it. I used this information to search for all the families with the surname Zhao in Tianfeng Continent, and checked them one by one before confirming it. In addition, I have met my younger brother, and his appearance is very similar to my father. General Zhou must have met my father.
You can judge one or two."
When Zhao Deyuan heard this, he already believed it, but he still turned to look at Zhou Kang.
At this time, Zhou Kang recalled Yi Anguo's appearance and compared it with Zhao Tianci. There were some similarities, so he nodded slightly to Zhao Deyuan.
When Zhao Deyuan saw it, he felt a little nervous and said to Yi Cheng, "I wonder what Shaoxia Yi is going to do? God has been with the Zhao family for more than ten years, and we have already regarded him as our own."
Upon hearing this, Yi Cheng knew that Zhao Deyuan was worried that his brother would recognize him and leave the Zhao family. He said: "Master Zhao, don't worry, I just need to find my brother and know that he is okay. Zhao Tianci will always be Zhao Tianci, and I will not force him."
Whatever I do, I don’t want him to make a painful choice. Don’t tell anyone else except the emperor what happened today.”
Yicheng knew that as ministers, they would not dare to conceal such a big thing, so he did not embarrass them. Yicheng was not worried that the emperor would be detrimental to him. The imperial court always flaunted fairness and did not pursue the people of the previous dynasty. Now he still has merit.
The country has no reason to take advantage of itself.
Moreover, with Yicheng's current strength, he is not afraid. As Yicheng's strength deepens, his handling of things gradually changes. If his strength were low, he would definitely not dare to reveal his father's affairs and put his life and death in it.
Yicheng would never do this in the mere thought of others.
When Zhao Deyuan heard this, he felt relieved and said, "How should the young hero handle this matter?"
Yicheng replied: "I'd like Mr. Zhao to tell Tianci this in advance so that he can be mentally prepared. Don't tell him about my late father yet. I'll pay him a visit in three days. How about that?"
Zhao Deyuan thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll tell him about this first. Hey, he doesn't know his life experience yet. I don't know how he will react if I tell him this."
Zhao Deyuan was a little worried. Since he adopted Tianci, no one in his family mentioned it. Only a few people knew about it. Even the jade plaque on Zhao Tianci was put away by him to avoid thinking of anything. Now Yi Cheng
When he found his younger brother, he couldn't stop him from recognizing him, but he was secretly worried in his heart.
What Zhou Kang saw today made him unable to recall it for a while. He knew that Zhao Tianci was adopted by the Zhao family, but after hearing what Yicheng said, Zhao Tianci was also the son of Yi Anguo, he was still surprised.
He also secretly thought that Yi Anguo gave birth to a pair of good sons, one was better than the other, how come the boy in his family was so unsatisfactory compared with others.
In the past, he was leading troops outside all day long and neglected to discipline him. From now on, he must take good care of his son. Otherwise, if he encounters a powerful character again one day, the Zhou family may really be wiped out.
Zhao Deyuan and Zhou Kang said a few words to Yicheng and then left with gloomy expressions.
