Chapter 761 – Carrying a Family to Death
Chen Wunuo made the most correct decision, but it was a little late. No one understood his wife better than him. She was a seemingly gentle and gentle woman that would not fight oveiece of jade. However, that did not mean that she did not have a bottom line. A person like her, once someone touched her bottom line, would probably burst forth with even more terrifying power than those who looked fierce. And for so many years, the Divine Empress had been keeping a low profile like she had lived in seclusion for so long, it was likely that a violent storm was about to break out.
The quiet garden was very quiet. Although it had been a long time since anyone had lived here, if there really walace in the palace that looked desolate and desolate, then it was likely that none of the people in charge of the household chores would be able to live for long.
And the Holy Emperor Chen Wunuo moved in as quickly as possible, then sent someone to invite the Divine Empress over.
On this day, no one knew what the Sacred Emperor and the Divine Empress were talking about, but they were certain that … Fifth Uncle, who had already left Yanying Palace for the northwest, did not come back. Thus, everyone began to speculate that the Sacred Emperor might not have been able to persuade him otherwise.
At this moment, everyone in Holy See felt a sense of crisis. No one was happy that Yuwen Clan had encountered suching. Even if they didn’t like Yuwen Clan’s style of doing things, they would still not gloat over it. This was because they all knew that this was an earthquake, so no one was qualified to gloat over it.
After receiving the news, the two outstanding youths from Yuwen Clan, who had been left behind as hostages in the capital, went outside the imperial palace and knelt before the First Extreme Temple. No matter how the eunuch tried to persuade him, he did not get up. He kneeled from day to night, and then he kneeled before the sun.
In the quiet garden.
The Divine Empress, who would never let anyone see her disgraceful side, just laid there on the reclining chair without getting up for the first time. Her understanding of disgrace was far beyond ordinary people’s understanding. She was the mother of a nation. She had to have the demeanor and bearing that a mother should have. Thus, she had strict requirements for her every word and action. Lying in a chair like this in front of the emperor had never happened before.
“If you’re tired, then rest more.”
Chen Wunuo stood up and prepared to leave: “I’m going to the Emerald Pavilion, there are still a lot of things that I need to take care of.”
The Divine Empress did not speak, but the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
Although she didn’t say anything, Chen Wunuo seemed to have heard a voice that was asking him hysterically in his ears … How much older is your country than your family? Your son is already dead, and you still have the mood to deal with those so-called national affairs?! Are you a father or not? Do you have a son in your heart, or me?!
Of course, the Divine Empress would definitely not hysterically say such words. She was too lazy to even speak. Perhaps, a long, long time ago, she had gotten used to her role on the very first day she married Chen Wunuo, as she knew what she should do. Even if she was only weakly expressing her dissatisfaction in this way, it was enough for Chen Wunuo.
“I …” I’ll accompany you for a while longer. ”
Chen Wunuo sat down again, his face pale white.
“Go.”
The Divine Empress calmly replied, “You are the monarch. Before the monarch, the nation is first. Then you will be the husband and the father. ”
Chen Wunuo hesitated for a while before saying: “Let me handle this matter regarding Hu’er.”
“No.”
The Divine Empress’s answer was simple and firm.
“I am the Divine Empress, but I do not participate in national affairs, so in front of me, home is first. Then I will be the wife, then the later … With regards to the tools, as a mother, I will handle it. “Jun has his own Dao, while you have yours.”
She opened her eyes and glanced at Chen Wunuo: “I’m a mother, who … “It can’t stop me either.”
His tone was as heavy as a mountain.
Chen Wunuo sat stiffly on the chair and nodded his head, “Alright … Rest assured, there is no one in this world who can stop you. ”
He once again stood up and walked towards the door, and when he reached the door, he stopped, as if he wanted to say something. However, when the Divine Empress’s gaze shifted over, Chen Wunuo still did not say anything. He stood at the door and sighed. Then, he walked towards the Jade Pavilion in front of him with big steps.
The quiet garden, where could it be quiet?
Northwest, Phoenix Stage.
Yu Wending sat on the seat of the Patriarch with an extremely unsightly expression, as he swept his eyes over the members of the clan who were seated below him … No one knew what had happened, nor did they know why their big brother’s expression was so ugly. But they all knew that something big must have happened.
“Second Brother calculated everything, but left out only one thing.”
Yu Wending felt that his throat was hurting again, he was in so much pain that he almost couldn’t speak anymore, “Clan.”
When these two words left his mouth, everyone in the room was stunned. The descendant? The first reaction of most of them was what the descendents were. Then came waves of fear, and he felt chills on his spine. Not long after that, he was drenched in cold sweat.
“This could be a fatal oversight.”
Yu Wending remained silent for a while, before saying: “So that’s why I had no choice but to make a decision. From now on, each family will gather all of their best children and send them to an unknown place to be selected by the clan for their nurturing and protection. If this can be done, we can just get it back. If … If our Yuwen Clan is unable to pass this trial, we can at least preserve some of our incense burner. ”
Yu Wenhe could not help but ask: “Big brother, what kind of weakness does our Yuwen Clan have in the Holy See? At that time, Second Brother did not say anything, but was willing to exchange his life for Chen Zhongqi’s. Why? Why on earth? Why did the Yuwen Clan become like this the moment Chen Zhongqi arrived? All these years, we have never done anything to let down the Great Western Holy See. Why must we pay such a great price?! ”
“We …”
Yu Wending said as if he had suffered an intense struggle, “We actually did it.”
To be able to tell this secret waorture to him. But if they didn’t, the clan wouldn’t understand. Because secrets were often in the hands of very few people. Back then, when Yu Wende chose to die alone, he told him time and time again that he could not reveal this secret, but now, the situation had changed …
“What did we do?”
Yu Wenhe asked tentatively.
“After all these years, we have deliberately made the other great families forget about us, and even made the ordinary people forget about us. In the Central Plains, there aren’t many people who can still remember the existence of our Yuwen Clan. But they can forget. We can’t let history forget us. These years, Holy See had always been aware of the violations of regulations. For example, the number of private troops, for example, Yuwen Clan had planted too many people into the border army … Even though we are still trying to investigate our crimes, His Majesty already knew that he wouldn’t use that method to eliminate our Yuwen Clan. After all, that would ruin a lot of people’s hearts, who would still dare to defend the borders of the Great Xixi? ”
“There are two things that you guys don’t know. If I hadn’t become the Patriarch, I wouldn’t know either.” Originally, he couldn’t casually say these things, or else it would cause the family to panic. “But I must say it now …”
His gaze swept across everyone as he said witeavy tone, “I know that when I tell you the following secret, you all will not be able to accept it.”
“Big Brother, just say it quickly!”
Yu Wenhe was so anxious that he was about to jump: “This is not your fault alone, nor is it Second Brother’s fault. If you guys can’t take it, then let’s all take it on. Second Brother has often said that the strongest aspect of our Yuwen Clan was not the strength of our own physique and bloodline, nor was it that our talent was great, but that we were united. ”
“Actually …”
Yu Wending swallowed his saliva and felt the pain in his throat: “Actually... Actually, since the beginning of the past three generations, Yuwen Clan’s bloodline was no longer pure. Include … Including myself, the blood of Yuwen Clan is not pure, do you understand? In other words, there are many of you who, strictly speaking, are not members of Yuwen Clan. But... Over the years, no one has been expelled for this, because it was forced. ”
“You … “What did you say?!”
Yu Wenhe’s face instantly turned pale white.
“Actually, a crisis arose four generations ago. At that time, the Jinling of the Great Xi had formed a Star Observation Pavilion and collected the blood of almost all of the large families. At that time, the old man on top of our Wild Fox Mountain was still the Patriarch. Actually, everyone is well aware of what the Star Observation Pavilion is planning to do, but no one dared to resist, because the Sacred Emperor was too powerful at that time. ”
“Old gramps suspects that the Sacred Emperor wants to thin out the bloodline power of the various families, and then gradually eliminate them. Think about it carefully. Are there fewer and fewer experts in the family within the first four generations? Our family has dealt with it. That’s good, but the other families may not. For example, Helian Family … ”
At this point, many people were already numb to it. They were unable to accept this fact at all …
“At that time, the lordmaster and those highly respected forefathers discussed for a long time and then made a decision. From the previous three generations, they had to find outstanding girls to enter Yuwen Clan and use their bloodline’s power to dilute Yuwen Clan’s bloodline’s power. However, it could produce a new talent that could support the family. Not only was the girl chosen, but … In fact, many of the low status but extremely talented martial artists were also invited in. It was the same for the children born to our Yuwen Clan’s women. This is just the beginning, and later on we used a large number of pills to exchange for our bloodline power. This is also why only the old tutor has been able to shoot such an arrow since the fourth generation ago. ”
“We are all generations in excess.”
Yu Wending let out a long sigh of relief, “This matter, is the crime of deceiving the monarch. First, Chen Zhongxu was in the northwest, while Chen Zhongqi had gone to the Yuwen Clan to threaten one of our family’s bargaining chips, it was exactly this secret. And, of course, the second secret I’m going to say... That is, adoption. ”
Yu Wending looked at the people who had completely collapsed: “I know that you guys are not in a good mood, you have always been proud to be members of Yuwen Clan. You are, you will be, you will always be. No one can deny this, even if … Even though many of you don’t even have the blood of Yuwen Clan. Many of them were adopted, carrying their children, but they claimed to have been born of their own accord. For example … “Wushuang.”
When these words left his mouth, the last bit of his self-esteem was ruined.
“Big Bro deliberately put on a show, saying that Wushuang was not his child and almost fell to his death, then admitted that he was wrong. Actually, he always knew that Wushuang was not his child. It isn’t an adoption either. It is just that your second sister-in-law really is … I did do something to let your second brother down. He endured this humiliation. Why? ”
Yu Wending raised his voice: “Because of the honor of the clan.”
“However, this involveroblem. The birth and death of all families have to be reported to the Star Observation Pavilion, which means, we deceived the Star Observation Pavilion for many years.”
Yu Wenhe trembled as he asked, “But, how did Chen Zhongqi know?”
Yu Wending shook his head: “I don’t know, the old man said …. Chen Zhongqi is deliberately seeking death. ”
“What do you mean?”
“Your second brother’s brilliant plans are peerless … But in truth, Chen Zhongqi has been cooperating this entire time. ”
Yu Wending said dejectedly: “He is bringing our Yuwen Clan to their deaths.”
