Chapter 15 15 Yan Sheng
Chapter 15 15 Yan Sheng
The child became his new shackles instead of the chains that had been around his ankles.
Since the Iron Islands returned to King's Landing, the parasite left in the body of the Son of God has swelled up from the abdomen. If it were on any woman, it would be a beautiful and hopeful sight.However, there seemed to be a tumor full of malice on his body, which was about to ooze black venom almost immediately.He didn't want people he knew to see this posture, so he locked himself in the bedroom and consciously became a prisoner.Yuanyi expressed his worries countless times—after that night on the dragon’s back, Yuanyi’s worries never stopped. The new king looked at him like a crystal vessel that was about to shatter into countless pieces, asking what to do? To make him feel better.As long as Yan Sheng doesn't ask for dragon eggs or light wildfires, the new husband-to-be father will do everything.
"Plant some cherry blossoms, just around the tower." He couldn't bear Yuanyi's endless desire to care, and finally said, "That's my mother's favorite flower...I always think of her recently."
As the mass of sarcoma grew, his movements became sluggish, he could no longer lift his sword, ride a horse, run for a long time, and even walk for a long time, and his waist would ache.Yan Sheng insisted not to do those movements to support his waist, but his younger brother who often walked in the garden with him would always hold his waist in time at this time.
"Brother, are you tired, do you want to rest for a while?" Yuan Yi asked gently and appropriately.It was only then that Yan Sheng remembered that his younger brother had vision that could see through organs, muscles and bones.Nothing could be hidden from his eyes.
"He is really gentle to you, Your Excellency Hei Si Mou." Tong Mo propped his head on his hands and leaned on the bench in the church, "Every time I see you walking in the garden, I pray for you."
Yan Sheng looked at him, those strange seven-color pupils still showed no emotion.
"My body is dying," he said. "Let's gossip. Is there any other way to deliver the message?"
"Of course, although I'm not a pyromancer, I have my own methods." The priest breathed out like offering a treasure, and a small statue made of ice crystals landed on his palm. It seemed to be the shape of a god, but it was not the Seven Gods. any of the .
"...You really are a cultist wearing a priest's coat." Yan Sheng stared at the statue.
Tong Mo showed a sad look, "I was trying to help you, but you accused me like this. When you need me to take action, just drop a drop of blood and talk to it."
"...Thank you," he said.
Tong Mo smiled again, with a meaningful smile.
"But do you really want to do that? I heard that Ji Guoyuan claimed that you burned half of the Iron Islands fleet with wildfire to help him win more with less. All the vassals have changed their impression of the queen. Woolen cloth."
"Wildfire is an unacceptable practice after all." Yan Sheng replied, "Besides, most people in King's Landing only remember the king's bravery, and the dragon that haunted the battlefield and walked through the arrows."
"Mortals cannot overcome miracles after all." He whispered, as if talking to himself.
Yuanyi also knew this very well. The new king locked the black dragon egg on the high tower where he was imprisoned, and the white dragon squatted downstairs to guard its unhatched brother.Yan Sheng tried to sneak into the tower several times, but Bailong always woke up at the critical moment, flew to the door, and spread his wings to stop him.
So Yan Sheng walked to the tower again, and now his body no longer allowed him to sneak into the tower and get back the dragon egg, he just came here out of habit.
He threw the dried horse meat to the white dragon, and the noble ancient creature grabbed the dried meat like a big docile dog, flapped its wings cheerfully, and walked towards him.
"Don't worry, I won't think about going in." He took out another piece of jerky, and Bailong stepped forward affectionately, and pressed against his lower abdomen.
Yan Sheng was a little displeased, but it would be too shameful to be angry with a young dragon.Besides, he always felt that there was a certain emotion in Bailong's red pupils, which was called worry.Ancient books say that dragons are intelligent creatures, and this feeling may not be his illusion.
"Moonlight." He called out, "Why did Yuanyi give you this name?"
Yan Sheng felt that he was a little ridiculous, and he was reduced to talking to a dragon so that he would not go crazy.Maybe he's gone crazy too.The dragon moved closer and rubbed its big head against his.Naturally, Yan Sheng couldn't understand, and could only gently stroke the silvery white scales on the big head.
"The light of the sun is commensurate with him, why are you the moonlight?"
Moonlight naturally couldn't answer, but rubbed more vigorously. This appearance reminded him of Yuanyi, who subconsciously pushed the faucet.Bailong seemed a little disappointed, moved his huge body, and sat in front of the tower gate.
"I almost killed your master." He sighed, "Don't you know?"
Bai Long shook his head.
"Brother, you are also the master of Moonlight." An unexpected voice suddenly sounded.Yan Sheng turned his head, Yuan Yi was standing under a newly planted cherry tree, greeting him.
Said to be standing under the tree, but the sapling was not much taller than Yuanyi, looking a little bald and funny.It is far from the picture of his younger brother sitting under the flower tree when he was young, which made him dazed for a while.
"Why are you here? I remember some disturbances in the free city-state across the sea recently." Yan Sheng said, "You should deal with those things."
"I'm worried about your situation, brother." Yuan Yi replied.
"As you can see, I can't go anywhere now, and I can't hatch another dragon egg." He responded coldly, "You don't have to stare at me all the time."
The younger brother approached him and habitually supported his waist.His expression was gloomy like the white dragon that he pushed away just now. "That was not what I meant……"
"Actually, I have something to discuss with you." Yuan hugged him and walked slowly in the newly planted cherry blossom forest. "It is indeed related to the matter of the Free City."
"The slave-trading city-states on the other side of the sea have never interfered with us..." Yuan Yi's serious tone of discussing business made Yan Sheng feel a little dazed for a while, "Why did they suddenly invade the coast?"
"The spies who stayed in Slave's Bay sent news that the Temple of Immortality... made a prophecy for our children." Yuan Yi was a little embarrassed, "It's like we got the prophecy before we were born."
"...What is the content?"
"The spies didn't find out the specific content of the prophecy." The younger brother shook his head. "But it must be very important. Our children... only make the Free City feel threatened, so they will harass the coast and prepare the fleet."
"It's better for us to know what the prophecy said." Yan Sheng said, "In addition to fighting, maybe we have to send someone to the Temple of Immortality."
"I have ordered Ubuyashiki to fight." Yuanyi sighed, "But the Temple of Immortality is not something ordinary people can sneak into. Those wizards do have some skills."
"If no one can get the news, you should go get it yourself. The wizards of a few city-states will never be your opponents, not to mention the dragon."
"Brother, you are going to give birth soon, and I want to be with you..." The younger brother's tone dropped, "Besides, I actually don't want to know about that."
"Why?" He grabbed Yuanyi's hand, but he didn't have the strength to hold it tightly, he just gently circled his wrist, "That prophecy is very important."
"I... don't want to do that anymore." Yuan Yi said, "Prophecy...maybe without those, our children will live happier lives."
His brother lowered his head, and Yan Sheng recalled that night on the back of the dragon in a trance. For a certain moment, he and Yuan looked at each other. At that time, the sun fell from the sky, revealing shadows, just like an ordinary person. And painful.At this time, Yuanyi was still looking down at the world, but his eyes were filled with the same confusion as at that time.
"Do you really think that if you don't know, everything will not happen?" He asked, "The Temple of the Immortal is not the kind of place that just makes a name for itself."
Yuan turned her head and looked at him blankly.
"And..." Yan Sheng said, "Not all prophecies will come true."
How ridiculous, after many years, under the bare cherry blossom saplings, he staggered like a monster, holding Yuanyi's hand and moving forward.Although the younger brother has grown up and become tall and handsome, he is like the dull-looking child in childhood, letting him lead.
He turned his head, no longer looking at Yuanyi, but looking at those newly planted, funny oriental trees, imagining how they bloomed like his mother's favorite. "If there is really something bad in the prophecy..."
"...we can just pick the good ones, let's go."
The dazed ruby pupils showed surprise, and then Yuan smiled.It was a very warm smile, Yan Sheng thought, he hadn't seen such a smile from his younger brother for a long time, it wasn't the sun's smile overlooking the world with comfort, he could feel that there was something he could understand in it.
Like...like a moment, but he couldn't remember it.
"Okay, brother." Yuan Yi replied with a smile, "Then I will discuss with the Imperial Council about preparing for the expedition."
Yan Sheng nodded, and Yuanyi helped him out of the flower forest. A maid named Xiaomei was tending the flower trees, and her brother gardener was helping to turn and shovel the soil.Xiaomei's ugly older brother is good at taking care of exotic flowers and plants. If there is no accident, those cherry blossoms will open branches with pink and white flowers in a month or two.
"I'll go to the parliament to announce this right away." Yuanyi said, "Is there anything else you want to convey, brother? They will also listen to your opinions now."
"My opinion?" He was a little surprised.
"Well, although I don't support your approach... But Ubayashiki said that you have been of great help to the Iron Islands." The younger brother was a little frustrated, but he conveyed it proudly, "He thinks it is appropriate to listen to your opinion will help me."
"Nothing, you go."
He watched Yuanyi's leaving back silently, a corner of his heart that had not been seen for a long time was turbulent, like a maid shaking off her clothes in the sun, the dirty dust was lifted up, illuminated brightly in the sun, like floating The stars can float to the distant sun in the next moment.
"Yuanyi." He suddenly opened his mouth and called out.
"What's the matter, brother?" The younger brother turned his head respectfully.
"All this time... no, I've thought about it," he said, "if only... I could be someone like you."
Yuanyi's eyes widened, looking at him in astonishment.The blazing sunlight in his eyes was flickering, he didn't know what Yuanyi was astonished at, his younger brother seemed to never know how bright and dazzling he was in the eyes of others, and he was the goal that countless people yearned for.He can't yearn for it, can't admit it, but he can't make an exception either.
However, at the next moment, Yuanyi smiled unknowingly like before:
"...me too, my lord brother."
Nausea once again filled Yan Sheng's internal organs.
Be like him?What good is there in being someone like him?
His words lingered in his throat for a long time, but after all he couldn't ask, and Yuanyi had already left with a relaxed pace.
Yan Sheng climbed up the steps of the tower step by step with difficulty.
Yuanyi has already left with the white dragon, and the moonlight can't stop him. The only thing that can stop him is the heavy child in his belly, who was cursed at birth and deeply feared by the other side of the strait.The prophecy has become much more powerful after the child's grinding, but the basic meaning has not changed. When this child grows up, he will become a nightmare for the slave city-state on the other side of the sea.It's just that the child has not grown up yet, and is only worthy of his nightmare.
Holding on to the wall, he walked up the narrow stairs step by step. The steps of the tower were very high. He gasped and rested several times before he climbed to the top of the tower. escape door.
The black dragon egg was lying on the bed, bathed in the moonlight, waiting for him.
He reluctantly walked to the window, took out the statue of the Eastern evil god made of ice crystals from his waist, and stuck it to his lips.
The moonlight outside the window gently falls on the ground around the tower and on the newly planted cherry blossom saplings.The soil is loosely buried with manure, and under the manure are other things that shouldn't be there.Yuan Yi was still too innocent, the new king let Yan Sheng arrange these trivial matters by himself, he didn't know anything about the filthy thoughts of ordinary people, and he didn't need to know.
Yan Sheng smiled.
"Light the wildfire." He said contentedly to the ice crystal statue.
