I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 596 The Taoist son should be the emperor of mankind!
he died!
My mother killed him with her own hands!
If it had happened before today, Ji Yu would have been distraught when hearing this.

But at this moment, he just looked calmly at his mother who was trying to maintain a strong appearance but was actually weak, and then he sighed.

"Does mother hate father so much?"

Hearing Ji Yu's words, Ji Yan, who was leaning on the phoenix couch, had a dazed look in his eyes, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.

hatred?
If I really hated his father, why would I let this little guy be born into this world?

And they are willing to give up everything and do their best to protect him, cultivate him, and make him successful.

But Ji Yan really didn't know how to explain these words clearly in front of his beloved son. After all, in this world, many times when you tell a lie, you often need countless lies to cover it up.

And this is not an easy thing to do.

He lowered his eyes and remained silent for a while, and a trace of fatigue flashed in Ji Yan's sharp phoenix eyes.

"Changan, tell my mother, but what did your royal grandfather say in front of you?"

Ji Yu, who had lived with his mother in the princess's mansion since childhood, noticed his mother's emotional changes. A look of heartache appeared on his young face. He leaned forward and snuggled in his mother's arms, hoping to give her some strength.

"The royal grandfather said that he actually knew his father's identity all along. He asked Chang'an to tell his mother that Chang'an is also of Ji's bloodline, and he would not let anyone hurt Chang'an."

As expected, Ji Yan's expression changed when he heard this, and his arms around Ji Yu tightened almost instinctively.

Just like a mother dragon coiling her body around her young dragon to protect them tightly.

"Who dares!"

For a moment, the murderous aura was revealed, and with the support of his powerful cultivation, he became extremely ferocious.

However, she soon realized her own gaffe, and instantly suppressed her outward emotions, and then hurriedly comforted him with endless tenderness.

"I'm sorry, I scared Chang'an."

"Don't worry, Chang'an. With my mother here, no one can hurt you."

Ji Yu looked a little helpless at his mother's overreaction. He really wanted to tell his mother that he had grown up and was not so timid or fragile anymore.

But looking at his mother's nervous and cautious look, Ji Yu opened his mouth and finally let out a sigh.

As a product of adultery who "does not know his father", he has reason to be resentful.

But he also felt that he was lucky.

Because he knew that his mother loved him and had always tried her best to give him everything.

So even though he had never experienced what fatherly love was, he was still extremely satisfied.

"Mother, I'm fine."

As he spoke, Ji Yu tried to calm his mother down, and then continued.

"Grandfather also said... he assured mother that he had never thought of using Chang'an to embarrass mother and then use it as a bargaining chip to force father..."

Hearing this, Ji Yan's body stiffened slightly and he asked subconsciously.

"Your royal ancestor...what else did he say?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Yu tilted his head and considered his words before speaking.

"The Grandfather said: 'My daughter Zhao'er hasn't come to the palace to see me for a long time...'"

After saying this, Ji Yu saw that his mother did not respond for a long time. When he raised his eyes, he saw that his mother had burst into tears without him noticing.

He wiped away his mother's tears in a panic.

"Why are you crying, mother?"

Ji Yan quickly wiped away his tears, put on a fake strong smile, and shook his head.

"Mother is fine."

The person she had been most wary of over the years was actually not someone else.

It was the father who once doted on him.

For this reason, she hasn't even entered the palace for many years.

Hearing Emperor Taikang's words today, I couldn't help but feel a little guilty and ashamed.

But now that she is a mother, she still doesn't dare to bet on the truthfulness of Emperor Taikang's words.

After all, looking back through the ages, the so-called blood relationship is too fragile in front of that supreme position...

At this time, Ji Yu saw his mother gradually calm down, and finally couldn't help but ask the answer he wanted to know so badly.

"So... Mother, Chang'an is not a bastard, right?"

Bastard, this was what his cousins ​​from the royal family called him when he first entered the palace.

Although that day, to everyone's shock and horror, his mother showed her female power and took him to attack the houses and demolished several palaces in a row.

But the word "bastard" was still deeply imprinted in Ji Yu's young mind.

In the past, he was afraid of making his mother sad, so he kept it in his heart.

But today he couldn't hold back anymore.

Facing Ji Yu's longing eyes, Ji Yan struggled for a while, but finally nodded.

"Yes, you are not."

In fact, in a sense, since the child was born without a matchmaker, it is not unfair to call him a "bastard".

But as a mother, how could Ji Yan bear to let her own flesh and blood bear such a bad reputation?
Besides, since some things have been revealed, there is not much point in hiding them any further.

It wouldn't hurt to tell him.

Seeing that his mother gave him the answer he wanted, Ji Yu's eyes sparkled.

Even though he was born smart and was not like an ordinary child, he was still very excited about it.

But this joy and excitement were overshadowed by the doubts in my heart.

"If that's the case, why...why did you lie to me, mother?"

"Also, father has never come to see us in all these years. Does that mean he doesn't want us anymore?"

Lied to him and told him that his father was dead.

Even going so far as to say that she killed her father with her own hands?
Seeing Ji Yu looking at him with lonely and sad eyes, Ji Yan felt distressed and a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes.

The reason why she cursed someone to be dead was not only to cover up his bloodline, but also mainly because she was pissed off by someone that day.

I am willing to bear the stigma and bear and raise a child for you.

But you are happy in the land of gentleness!
In that case, she would treat him as dead!
Ji Yan felt at that time that even without that certain person, she could still make her brother Yu live a peaceful life.

But as time went by, she gradually realized that raising a child was not that easy.

But with her pride, how could she bow her head so easily?

In the end, we can only make the best of a bad situation and continue to write about the fact that the grass on someone's grave is already grown.

"My mother had no choice but to do this..."

As Ji Yan spoke, he briefly explained the reasons why he did so.

"Your father is not an ordinary person. He is involved in too many things. If those people with ulterior motives knew about it, not only would you and I be in danger, but it would also become a handle for those people to restrain your father."

Ji Yan did not lie, nor did he bother to lie in this regard.

Her purpose of deliberately concealing Ji Yu's background was largely based on this.

She had originally planned to cut off all ties with someone after traveling thousands of miles to experience the joy of love with him on impulse.

But what she could not have expected was that, having reached the celestial realm, the possibility of conceiving a child should have been extremely slim, but after that incident, they actually got pregnant.

For a moment, she admitted that she was truly panicking.

But after much hesitation, she finally decided to keep this offspring of someone.

As a result, many things arising from this child became things she had to face.

So she chose to conceal the matter and prepared to give birth to the child quietly.

But she didn't expect that the child's bloodline talent was so strong that it caused strange changes in the celestial phenomena above the capital, directly destroying her original plan.

From then on, the existence of this child became a secret in the entire Divine City, no longer a secret.

The only thing she could do was to bear the stigma alone and refuse to acknowledge the father of the child.

"Besides, your father didn't abandon us, mother and son..."

Thinking of the scene in which someone was so cunning as to conceal his divine thoughts with precious medicine, and then condense a Dharma body to appear in front of him, Ji Yan's bright and beautiful face showed a little embarrassment.

Come to think of it, it was also her fault that she was too nervous during that period.

He didn't even give him a chance to explain himself, so he subconsciously thought that he didn't want to keep the child, and then he killed his Dharma body in anger. Later, when the secret letter left in the capital through the six gates came, Ji Yan finally understood the truth and regretted it in his heart, but he couldn't save face.

This is what scared someone so much that he never set foot in the capital for so many years.

However, Ji Yan did not say these words in front of Ji Yu, he just said.

"Before, mother was afraid that you would reveal your flaws in front of others, so she didn't tell you. In fact, your name [Yu] and your nickname Chang'an were both chosen by your father himself."

Having said that, Ji Yan thought for a moment and added another sentence.

"So your father has always been thinking about you, so how could he abandon you?"

As Ji Yu watched his mother finish explaining the causes and consequences of his life, the knot in his heart and the depression that had been accumulating in his eyes since he was old enough to understand finally gradually dissipated.

As his mind became clear and the demonic obstacles in his heart dissipated, his energy began to rise rapidly.

Ji Yan, who witnessed this scene with his own eyes, was somewhat surprised but not shocked.

After all, as a mother, how could she not know about the talent of her son Yu?

If not, how could Yuxu Palace, one of the three holy places, send down the protective fairy light and bestow the true method of immortality?

Ji Yan sighed with pride.

Looking at the little face in front of him, which had many similarities with someone else's eyebrows, Ji Yan couldn't help feeling dazed and nostalgic.

Love is lingering in my heart, and it’s been years since we last met. How can I not miss you?

Not saying it, not thinking about it, are actually nothing more than being tough.

"One glance ruined your life, it's really a bad fate..."

Ji Yan was lost in thought and muttering to himself when he heard a child's voice coming from in front of him.

"Are you missing your father?"

Ji Yan's beautiful face flushed when her own son revealed her girlish thoughts. She couldn't help but glare at him in reproach.

"Changan, don't... don't talk nonsense——"

Ji Yu's aura gradually stabilized, and immortal light and Taoist charm flowed around him.

Although he was well versed in all the Taoist scriptures in the world, at his age he was unable to read the deep affection in his mother's eyes.

However, he was sure that he was not mistaken about his mother's longing for his father.

This also made him unable to help but feel an unprecedented strong curiosity about his father, whom he had never met.

After all, he had never seen his mother show such a strange expression in front of him in all these years. She looked distraught, almost as if she was drunk.

"Mother, can you tell Chang'an about father's affairs?"

Perhaps the image of that person had been suppressed deep in his heart for too long, and now, triggered by these words, it suddenly surged out.

"Your father is the greatest hero in the world!"

Perhaps the moment she held her beloved son in her arms, Ji Yan had already fallen into some kind of reminiscing mood, causing the words that came out of her mouth to sound like a dream talk.

Even Ji Yan didn't realize that he subconsciously used the word "most" several times in a row when describing someone.

"Your father came from humble beginnings. In his early years, he was just an ordinary soldier in the frontier army."

"In the winter of the fifty-ninth year of the reign, the Beidi Zhen Liao Border Army was framed by internal thieves and suffered a great defeat. Your father led hundreds of remaining soldiers..."

As his mother told him about his father's glorious past, a strange light flashed in Ji Yu's eyes.

There is admiration, yearning, excitement... and also a strong resonance that comes from the blood.

At this moment, he even wanted to tell everyone that he was not a bastard, and what a great man, hero, and great man his father was!

Until Ji Yan finally said.

"His surname is Han Shao, and he is the Duke of Yan and the General of the Northern Expedition, who has a million soldiers under his command and suppresses the vast mountains and rivers of Northeast China..."

When Ji Yu heard this, he was immediately shocked and looked at his mother with burning eyes.

"Mother, so Chang'an's surname is not Ji, but Han Yu?"

Children take their father's surname, this is the case for most people in the world.

Ji Yan was caught up in some emotion and was about to nod in agreement subconsciously, but he suddenly woke up at the last moment.

Your last name is Han and your given name is Yu?

What a joke!
You were born by me and raised by me!

You, my old man, just shivered a few times on me, and you want to snatch you away?

Why!
So when Ji Yan heard this, he sat up straight abruptly, turned the boy in front of him, and spoke solemnly.

"No! Your last name is Ji! It's the last name of our Great Yong Kingdom! The bloodline of the royal family!"

As he spoke, he whispered in Ji Yu's ear.

"My son, remember that one day, you will sit on the supreme throne..."

At this moment, Ji Yan, who was dressed in a scarlet phoenix robe, had a burning flame in his eyes that almost melted Ji Yu.

It made him feel a little scared.

……

Nangong, Ganquan Palace.

Li Jin, who hurried back from Zhenliao, immediately knelt down in front of the Supreme Emperor's throne.

"came back?"

As time went by, the voice coming from the throne became older.

Li Jin kowtowed respectfully.

"I have lived up to your expectations and have personally delivered your Majesty's order to Lord Yan."

Emperor Taikang slowly raised his head from the imperial desk and nodded slightly.

"How did he say?"

Li Jin replied.

"Lord Yan, rest assured, Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about the Yuan bandits. When the army marches south, we will report the victory to the emperor in a few days."

So confident?

Emperor Taikang was a little hesitant.

If you raise a tiger for ten years and it loses its footing or breaks its claws when you take it out, it will become a huge joke.

"Are you sure he won't get into trouble?"

Li Jin quickly kowtowed in response.

"Your Majesty, rest assured. Before I came back, I went to inspect the Zhen Liao army. They are all brave warriors!"

"So I, this old slave, can guarantee with my head that Lord Yan is not lying!"

After hearing Li Jin's words, Emperor Taikang's tense expression relaxed and he waved his hand.

"That's the best. Now, you should work hard on your trip."

Li Jin did not stand up immediately. Instead, noticing the fatigue in Emperor Taikang's words and expression, he kowtowed again and admonished him.

"All world affairs are in your hands, and the two capitals and twenty-eight states of Dayong are also on your shoulders. I hope your Majesty takes care of your health!"

Where are the two capitals and twenty-eight states?
Things have come to this point today. Please take care of yourself. Is this still necessary?
Emperor Taikang laughed helplessly and did not dwell on this topic any further.

He then asked about the details of Li Jin's trip to the north.

When Emperor Taikang heard Han Shao's final offer, he closed the memorial in his hand, looked up at Li Jin, and snorted coldly without any emotion.

"This guy is really shameless!"

"He did such a shameful thing without telling me, and yet he still had the nerve to ask me for my grandson. He has such a big face!"

Not only did he ruin his eldest daughter's health, but he also got her pregnant!
If the situation hadn't been so bad today, he would have really wanted to twist that bastard's head with his own hands!
But my little girl is such a loser. She even came to me with such a shameless face!

This is really unreasonable!
The only consolation was that the two shameless evildoers actually gave birth to such a unicorn son for his royal family, Ji.

Thinking of the note delivered by the Taoist holy land Yuxu Palace when his beloved grandson was born that year: [The Taoist son should become the emperor of mankind], Emperor Taikang sighed.

"That's all, let's take it one step at a time."

"Let's see how he fights first. In this world, the strong always eat the weak. Now I am the prey. Let them fight among themselves first..."
