Zhuang Lexian sat opposite Huang Yuchen and drank and ate vegetables, but Huang Yuchen had no such elegant pleasure at all.

What he said to himself made Huang Yuchen feel deafening.

Only now did he realize how simple he thought about things and how naturally he took them.

Until the dinner ended, Huang Yuchen kept thinking about these words of Zhuang Lexian and himself. Huang Yuchen had seen all the sufferings he said in books, but he really couldn't empathize with them.

He thought about this so that he completely forgot what he wanted to ask him about death before.

"What else do you want?" Zhuang Lexian had enough wine and a trace of blood appeared on his pale face: "Don't think about it, this is not something you can figure out in a short time."

Huang Yuchen looked up and looked at Zhuang Lexian with a daze. For the first time, he had doubts about his goals. He did not waver at what he wanted to do, but about his abilities.

"I don't know if... can be competent later." Huang Yuchen said softly. He really has this kind of thought now.

Huang Yuchen was still a kind boy in his heart. Even though he had experienced so many things and had changed a lot on the surface after experiencing storms, his original heart was still the boy who yearned for a free life.

"To be honest." Zhuang Lexian poured the last sip of wine into his mouth, then looked at Huang Yuchen and said, "At your current age, it is indeed a bit difficult for you to bear so many things."

"But for you at the moment, you are doing well. Think about when I was as old as you, I didn't know what the important tasks of the country."

"Don't belittle yourself. What you said to you before was just a reminder. It's nothing wrong for you to be kind to others, but if you are a superior and still be kind to many people, that's wrong."

"People are in the world and cannot help themselves, and that's what they say." Zhuang Lexian narrowed his eyes and smiled: "I think you should feel like you are having a grudge now. What you want to do may be impossible to achieve even if you have the best efforts."

As he said that, Zhuang Lexian pointed to his chest and said, "I'm talking about what you really want to do, not what you are forced to do."

What I really want to do...

What Huang Yuchen really wanted to do was actually to be an ordinary imperial minister, marry and have children, and spend his life safely.

Compared to the yearning for the achievements of several brothers before, Huang Yuchen now knows more about what he wants.

But this yearning for life, which seems to be within reach, is already a thorny road for Huang Yuchen now.

Even if he really restored the entire Qitian Empire and lifted the siege of the imperial capital and the Eastern Prince's Mansion, his wish to be an ordinary civil servant to live a peaceful life would be difficult to realize.

With Huang Yuchen's ability, if he was in a very stable period, it would be fine to achieve this step.

Now that the current situation pushed him to this height, he thought about it, but he could no longer help.

"Let's go back." Zhuang Lexian stood up and said to Huang Yuchen: "Don't have too many ideas. Do whatever you should do. There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. You have always thought too much."

"Isn't it a wise man to prepare for the future?" Huang Yuchen also stood up and asked softly.

"Yes, I'm not saying that you think about something wrong with something in advance." Zhuang Lexian looked at Huang Yuchen and said, "I mean you are thinking too much. Your thinking is very sensitive, but you often think of other directions."

"What you have to do now is the matter of the Qitian Empire. Don't consider other things first. If any emergencies occur, you can't control them now."

Zhuang Lexian said this, and Huang Yuchen knew what he was referring to.

The matters between Shunxingzhe, Tianqing City, and Chunhu Yongcheng are indeed not something that Huang Yuchen can control now.

Huang Yuchen really has no way to deal with those powerful people who suddenly appear that often surpass the level of the Venerable.

For example, Ye Guan, who disappeared strangely and appeared strangely, what level of cultivation he has experienced and what level of cultivation he is now can no longer be considered a problem for Huang Yuchen, but should be considered a legend.

"Huh..." Huang Yuchen breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled again on his face. He surpassed Zhuang Lexian in one step, opened the door in advance and walked out.

He turned around and looked at Zhuang Lexian and said, "I understand, thank you."

"Don't thank me, I have a purpose." Zhuang Lexian laughed, followed Huang Yuchen and left the restaurant.

Saying goodbye to the people in the wine shop who planned to drink all night long, Huang Yuchen returned to the city lord's mansion.

The city lord's mansion was cold.

In the entire courtyard, there were only Huang Yuchen and Zhuang Lexian.

After returning, Zhuang Lexian went to the cell to deal with the corpse of the man in black, and Huang Yuchen returned to his bedroom and lay on the bed.

He looked at the ceiling with the moonlight, and his mind was filled with thoughts, and before he knew it, he fell asleep.

...

A figure appeared in front of Huang Yuchen. The man couldn't see his appearance clearly, but he could clearly feel the warm emotions on him.

"You have suffered."

A peaceful voice came into Huang Yuchen's ears. In a daze, he raised his head and felt a ball of light appearing beside him.

For some reason, he didn't react at all, just felt that the light was very warm, which made him yearn for it.

"Who are you?"

Huang Yuchen asked softly, but the ball of light did not answer, but gradually left him.

The light became dimmer and dimmed until it disappeared.

A feeling of ethereality appeared in Huang Yuchen's heart. He reached out to grab the ball of light, but in the air, he only caught nothingness.

...

"Yuchen!"

A voice suddenly remembered and woke Huang Yuchen up in his sleep.

He opened his eyes and sat up like a conditioned reflex, and suddenly realized that the feeling he had before was actually a very strange dream.

The bedroom door was suddenly opened, and Zhuang Lexian said to Huang Yuchen at the door: "Hurry up, Yin Cai is back!"

Huang Yuchen was suddenly stunned, then immediately stood up, followed Zhuang Lexian and went straight out of the bedroom and headed straight to the hall.

Yin Cai was ordered by Huang Yuchen to go to Mingyuan City, with the purpose of finding an opportunity to present an imperial edict to Fan Liao, the former lord of Chikang City, so as to bring back all the soldiers recruited by Chikang City.

This is done because it is more important and must be done. There is only Yin Cai left for Huang Yuchen. Second, Huang Yuchen also wants to test Yin Cai's ability. No matter whether he is Cang Haobo's person or not, he will stay with Huang Yuchen for a long time.

Walking into the hall, Huang Yuchen saw Yin Cai standing in the hall and a person tied like a rice dumpling at his feet. This man was lying on the ground like a dead pig, with a piece of rag blocked in his mouth.

Except for the two, all the clans in Chikang City could arrive. The leader was Pang Qi. He led a group of clans to stand on one side of the hall, and on the other side of the hall were several young men in armor, looking heroic.

As soon as Huang Yuchen appeared, everyone's eyes were all focused on Huang Yuchen. When he saw the current situation, he immediately knew what was going on.

Huang Yuchen glanced at Yin Cai. Yin Cai didn't say anything, but nodded gently without missing traces. Huang Yuchen immediately smiled on his face, looked at Yin Cai, and shouted: "What's going on?"

"Mr. Hui, my subordinates read the imperial edict to Fan Liao in the name of him. Not only did this person not listen, but wanted to lead the troops to rebel. Fortunately, there were all knowledgeable people in the army, and no one followed Fan Liao's orders. Therefore, his subordinates captured this person and handed it over to the Lord."

After saying that, Yin Cai stepped forward, knelt in front of Huang Yuchen on one knee, raised the imperial edict in his hand over his head, and spoke again: "My subordinates have fulfilled their mission and ordered the Kangcheng army to bring all 746 people back!"

Huang Yuchen directly grabbed the imperial edict in his hand, then helped Yin Cai up and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work."

"This is the honor of my subordinates." After saying that, Yin Cai took a step back and said to Huang Yuchen again: "These are the centurions of the Imperial Army."

After Yin Cai finished speaking, the young generals standing beside him immediately stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and whispered to Huang Yuchen: "The Sinners Meet the Prince!"

Seeing this, Huang Yuchen immediately stepped forward a few steps and helped them all up one by one, then looked up and down at these young generals. Each of them was about the same level as him, and the oldest one seemed to be only twenty-five or six. Everyone looked at Huang Yuchen with bright eyes, as if they were all yearning.

Huang Yuchen immediately understood that before he came out, they probably had heard about some of their own affairs.

"You have been bewitched and you are now lost. What crime is there?" Huang Yuchen smiled at the others and said, "Are you tired of traveling a long distance?"

"Prince Hui." Standing in front, the oldest general, immediately clasped his fists at Huang Yuchen and said, "We are not tired."

"If it weren't for the timely news from the Lord, we might have been bewitched by this person and did something disobedient. The crime will be ordered to be the soldiers of Kangcheng for seventy or eighty years. Thank you, Lord!"

After saying that, the man wanted to kneel down again, and Huang Yuchen grabbed him, saying, "You are also bewitched by villains. This has nothing to do with you, so you don't have to thank me."

"Now that you have returned to Chikang City and will restore the matter of Qitian in the future. I hope you can work with me sincerely and live up to the emperor's grace!" Huang Yuchen looked at the young man in front of him and felt that this person was full of blood and must be a powerful general on the battlefield.

The small town of Chikang City is really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon.

After Huang Yuchen finished speaking, the six generals immediately knelt on one knee and said together: "I am willing to fight for the empire under the command of the Lord, and do not care about life and death!"

This time, Huang Yuchen did not stop a few people. He could tell from a few words that this was not much different from what he had thought before.

These young soldiers who left Chikang City were all deceived by Fan Liao with words.
