Chapter 374: Dayan’s Future Prince Husband
“My father... is he going to die?”
Zhao Yan only found it unbelievable to hear what Coach Cai said.
Zhao Changying had just broken through the eighth realm and became a powerful "True King". He showed his power in front of the palace and teamed up with the Ghost King of Mangshan to defeat the Grand Master of Da Qi and Luo Chuan, the head of the Exorcism Department.
Logically speaking, looking at the entire wilderness, except for Emperor Tianxing, it is difficult for anyone to threaten him.
He is the spiritual pillar of the entire Dayan and the source of confidence for Youzhou people to dare to rebel.
But now, Coach Cai tells her that her father is dying and may not see her for the last time.
If Coach Cai hadn't been a martial arts teacher she always respected and a close subordinate of her father Zhao Changying, she might have thought that he was talking nonsense and spreading rumors.
"That day, the king fought with Emperor Tianxing in the Zichen Palace and was seriously injured," Coach Cai said with a serious look, "He thought that with Jicheng's healing medicine, His injuries can be easily healed
“But he didn’t expect that what Emperor Tianxing injured was the origin of his soul.
"His soul is dissipating rapidly in an irreversible situation. I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for too long.
"Therefore, he wants to apologize to you before he goes west, sincerely. Let's talk to you about the past. ”
Zhao Yan stood there like a sculpture, silent for a long time.
Deep in her heart, it seemed that an invisible pillar collapsed.
Zhao Yan and Zhao Changying have never had a harmonious relationship with each other. For a long time, she always believed that her father was a coward who was greedy for wine and did not value friendship. Her mother, Mrs. Qu, was murdered in Luojing City. , but he was indifferent.
Later, Zhao Changying revealed the truth to her, but he could not completely resolve the knot in her heart.
On the one hand, Zhao Changying colluded with ghosts and caused many civilian casualties, which made her feel uneasy; on the other hand, she was also dissatisfied that Zhao Changying kept her in the dark when preparing his revenge plan, as if she Just like a child who doesn't understand the world.
However, at this moment, when she knew that her father would leave her forever soon, her heart suddenly felt empty, as if a very important piece was missing. The surrounding air suddenly became very cold, and the howling wind stung her skin.
After a while, she looked up at Coach Cai and said in a calm voice: "Coach Cai, you should be wearing a 'Breaking Sky Bead' on your body, right?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Give it to me." Zhao Yan stretched out her hand towards him.
Her fingers are long and slender, white and flawless, slightly cold in the sun, like a beautiful work of art carved from cold jade.
Instructor Cai nodded slightly and handed the "Breaking Sky Bead" into her hand. His expression looked much more respectful than before - because he knew that this student who had studied martial arts with him since childhood would soon become the new king of the Yan Kingdom.
Zhao Yan turned to look at Gu Xu again: "I'm sorry, Fellow Daoist Gu, I can't accompany you to the end of the East China Sea as promised before."
Gu Xu looked at her.
At this moment, he could see the girl's confusion from the depths of her eyes, and he could also hear the calmness and composure she tried her best to maintain from her voice.
"It doesn't matter," he said, "This time, I will accompany you to Jicheng."
Zhao Yan raised her eyebrows, her eyes a little stunned, obviously not expecting him to say that Say something like this.
“Aren’t you anxious to find all the magic weapon fragments and improve your strength?”
“You’re not that anxious,” Gu Xu smiled faintly, “Didn’t I tell you before? After all, 'Zi breaks through the same journey, all difficulties are unsolvable'? "You once saved my life in Jingxing.
“And you will definitely encounter a lot of trouble when you return to Jicheng to inherit the throne. If I escort you, maybe everything will go much smoother.”
“But I don’t want you to be delayed because of me—” Zhao Yan still wanted to dissuade her, but was interrupted by Gu Xu.
“Helping you means helping myself,” Gu Xu said seriously. “The level of hatred towards me by the Da Qi court is much higher than you think. In order to get my head, they will do whatever it takes to get my head. At all costs.
"Now, the reason why they have not sent anyone to deal with me for the time being is not because of our remote location, nor because of our superb methods of hiding our whereabouts, but because they saw you. .
"In this way, they thought that I had defected to Dayan and was protected by the monarch of Dayan. If they were not sure of victory, they would not dare to act rashly against me."
"But I don't have my father's My strength cannot guarantee your safety," Zhao Yan sighed.
"If you are really the reincarnation of the 'Saint Girl', you will only become stronger after you awaken." Gu Xu responded.
Actually, there was another important reason that Gu Xu did not tell her -
On his way south from Beiming, the closer he got to Jicheng, the more he felt To the close connection between the "Hui Lu" rune and the Vulcan belief.
The power of faith from the Vulcan believers was like a river, pouring into his meridians continuously, making his true energy quickly become powerful and majestic.
In addition, he had just used the "astrolabe" to calculate his own fortune, and realized that there was a great opportunity for him hidden in the crisis in Jicheng.
So he decided to temporarily slow down his plan to go to the East China Sea and accompany Zhao Yan to Jicheng to inherit the throne.
"Okay then," Zhao Yan pondered for a long time and said slowly, "I know that once a person like you makes a decision, no one can stop you."
Then she Raising his right arm: "Hurry up and grab my arm!"
Gu Xu immediately followed suit.
As the "Breaking Sky Pearl" broke into pieces in Zhao Yan's hands, the two figures quickly disappeared.
Coach Cai quietly looked at the place where the two disappeared.
In his mind, the image of Gu Xu grabbing Zhao Yan's arm still remained.
"Miss's problem...solved?" He frowned slightly. In his subconscious, he was still used to calling Zhao Yan "Miss".
He knew that Zhao Yan had always been averse to physical contact with the opposite sex, and had worried that she would never marry, live alone, or simply find a woman to be her partner.
But now, she didn't seem to reject the young man beside her at all. Not only did she hang her amulet around his neck, but she also let him hold her arm tightly.
Looking at the skilled looks of the two of them, it is obvious that this is not the first time they have done this kind of thing.
"Perhaps I will have to call this young man 'His Royal Highness' soon." Coach Cai thought to himself.
There have been many female monarchs in the history of Dayan Kingdom, and the queen’s husband also had special titles. However, with the surrender of the last King of Yan to Da Qi, the title "Wang Fu" was also buried in the dust.
Now that he picked it up again, Coach Cai felt quite mixed.
