Chapter 1268: The eldest prince, who is the master of suffering, is a childhood sweetheart (please subscribe)

In fact, many distinguished guests left the table shortly after the meeting.

Including Gu Changge, Saint Xiyuan and others, Chu Wushang stayed in the hall to entertain the other guests. He also did not want to cause criticism. As the eldest prince of Xianchu Haotou, if nothing happens, he will be a great person in the future. He wants to succeed to the throne and take over the vast land of Xianchu.

Therefore, he must not lose his moral character, let alone be rude in front of guests. Tonight was indeed the most drinking time Chu Wushang had ever had in his long years of practicing Taoism. He even needed someone to support him when he walked.

But he actually doesn't like drinking, doesn't like the smell of alcohol, and hates the feeling of being drunk.

Because of that, he simply couldn't control his emotions, control his words, control his behavior, and do things that were consistent with his identity as he usually did.

But he still drank too much today.

"My talent for cultivation is far inferior to that of my younger sister, and I am not as comfortable as my other brothers. I have to deal with countless things all day long. To suit my status, I need to consider every word carefully. I am worried that I will say or do something wrong, which will damage the royal family's face. . But my father is in his prime, so I might as well give up my status as the eldest prince."

Chu Wushang was supported by several imperial brothers as he left the main hall. For some reason, there were a lot of distracting thoughts in his head tonight.

There was a trace of fatigue on the corner of his mouth.

Outside the spacious hall, there is still a vast area of ​​magnificent pearls, precious lights twinkling, nebulae disappearing like running water, and many maids are busy cleaning up the leftovers of the feast. Chu Wushang felt that the night wind was blowing and his head was clearing up a lot, so he waved his hand and told the other imperial brothers beside him to leave without continuing to support him.

"You go and do your business. Too many things happened at my father's birthday banquet today. The ministers also need someone to comfort them. Once people's hearts are in chaos, our Xianchu vast land will not be far from falling apart."

He spoke, his voice still steady and strong.

After Chu Gucheng established Xian Chu Haotu, it actually admitted many concubines.

These princes were all born from concubines and concubines, and were far less valued than direct relatives like Chu Wushang and Chu Xinyue. "Yes, brother."

The princes all respected Chu Wushang, the eldest brother, and they soon followed his words and left. Chu Wushang sighed slightly and did not let the maid and others not far away help him.

This place is still some distance away from the official palace where he usually lives. At this moment, he just wants to walk alone to calm down the distracting thoughts in his mind. Once you drink too much of this wine, you will easily get into trouble, and many thoughts that you shouldn't have will begin to grow in your mind like weeds.

Chu Wushang was also worried that if he accidentally said something wrong and let several of the emperor's brothers hear it, it would be bad if word got out.

There was still a long way to go back to the palace he never dreamed of, so Chu Wushang walked slowly. For him, this was a rare leisure time that truly belonged to him.

The stars are brilliant, the night sky is clear, there is not a single cloud, and the bright moonlight shines like a misty piece of silver shining in the lake.

There are also many practitioners and living beings walking around in the long street. The pavilions and palaces are shrouded in clouds and mist, making you feel like you are in a fairyland. You only need to take a short look. You can see the prosperous and glorious large areas of the capital.

Chu Wushang looked at such a prosperous scene, but there was no excitement or pride in his heart.

He didn't know if he drank too much tonight, but many vague memory fragments began to flood his mind. Those past events that he had deliberately ignored and forgotten began to attack him aggressively, making it impossible for his heart to calm down. "Qinglan

Chu Wushang murmured, and a beautiful and beautiful figure appeared in his mind.

The other person's smiles, compliments, anger, all unfolded before his eyes like a scroll, making him fall into the distant memories of the past. "I knew there was something wrong with you. You were so preoccupied that you even rejected all the servants and maids."

Suddenly, a slightly aged voice sounded behind Chu Wushang.

He was stunned for a moment...then he realized what he was doing and looked back hurriedly.

He saw an energetic old man with white beard and hair standing behind him and speaking with a smile. "Fu Bo"

When Chu Wushang saw the old man, he smiled bitterly and said, "Why did you appear so silently? You even scared me.

Uncle Fu said with a smile, "You guys are so absorbed. I have been standing behind you for a long time and you didn't even notice. Did you think of the previous things again tonight?"

Chu Wushang also knew that he was indeed absent-minded just now and fell into the memories of the past.

Otherwise, with Uncle Fu's cultivation, how could he approach him so silently and come so close to him? "Uncle Fu, why are you here?"

Chu Wushang forced a smile and did not answer Uncle Fu's question directly.

He still respects and is close to this old man who has watched him grow up.

In the eyes of Chu Wushang, Chu Xinyue and other heirs, Uncle Fu has always been highly virtuous and respected, and he is equivalent to their grandfather. When he was young, many people often gathered around him and listened to him tell stories about his father, Chu Gucheng, when he was young.

"It's the King's birthday today. I've always been here, but not at the chairmanship (bhfb). Maybe you were too busy and didn't notice me.

Uncle Fu still explained with a smile, the wrinkles on his face stretched out like a blooming daisy, giving people a feeling of affability.

Hearing this, Chu Wushang felt sad. He also knew that because of the death of his younger brother Chu Xiao, many rumors about Uncle Fu being greedy for life and fearing death, abandoning Chu Xiao to escape, etc. had appeared in various places in the Immortal Chu Land.

For this reason, his father, Chu Gucheng, gradually alienated Uncle Fu and left many important matters to Mr. Baimei Xingjun.

Uncle Fu didn't even appear at the chairman's side at this birthday banquet. If he hadn't mentioned it at this moment, Chu Wushang wouldn't have known that he was also at the birthday banquet.

"I will explain everything to my father. Uncle Fu, please don't pay attention to the rumors. I'm afraid my father did this just to avoid suspicion," Chu Wushang said, wanting to defend Chu Gucheng.

In his opinion, it is impossible for Uncle Fu to do the kind of thing mentioned in the rumors. His loyalty to the Chu family is absolutely unquestionable. .My father must have known this, but in order to avoid suspicion, he had no choice but to alienate Uncle Fu.

Hearing this, Uncle Fu smiled heartily and said, "I don't care about rumors or anything like that. Now that I'm old, there are many important things that I can't do even if the king entrusts them to me. What's more, now Xian Chuhao Tu has encountered a lot of troubles, and those troubles need to be solved by capable people. If the king leaves it to me, it will delay the matter. "

Seeing that Uncle Fu had reached such a state and was still thinking about the immortal Chu Haotu and Chu Gucheng, Chu Wushang also sighed in his heart.

If such a passionate and sincere old man had such a cold heart, it would probably have a huge impact on the hearts of the people in the vast land of Xianchu. Father Chu Gucheng, doesn't he know the consequences of doing this?

"I saw that you were very preoccupied tonight and smelled of alcohol. Just now you couldn't help shouting Jinglan's name. It seems that you are still obsessed with what happened at the beginning and were dissatisfied." Uncle Fu came over and looked at Chu Wushang. He sat down next to him and spoke kindly, with a bit of worry in his tone.

Chu Wushang sighed inwardly, his expression a bit bitter and helpless.

In fact, he didn't want to talk more about this matter, but he also knew that he had to face this kind of thing, otherwise it would become his own inner demon sooner or later. Just like tonight, I am not completely drunk, but my mind can't help but recall the past events and pictures.

All that can never be forgotten.

Speaking of which, it has actually been a long time since the woman named Jinglan was married and had children. But this has always been a frustration in his heart.

"Don't blame your father. When this happened, he also needed to stand on the perspective of Xian Chu Hao Tu and consider the overall situation." Fu Bo said with relief.

"I know, and I have never blamed my father." Chu Wushang turned his head away, then shook his head and said.

Uncle Fu seemed a little helpless, shook his head and smiled, "You are really tough. You have always been a good boy. After all, I watched you grow up. Don't I still know what your character is? Although you are like my grandson, you are somewhat It's a bit disrespectful, but in my eyes, you are all the same as my children. I also know the grievances and bitterness in your heart. Although you have tried hard to avoid it all these years, you must be feeling very uncomfortable and resenting your father in your heart. , I hate him for breaking up you and Jinglan. You two were so in love at the beginning, and many people thought that Jinglan would definitely become the crown princess in the future..."

Having said this, he also sighed as if with emotion.

Chu Wushang listened to all this in a daze, and endless sourness emerged in his heart again. He has not been married in these years, could it not be because of all this? But what's the use? Jinglan has been married to Champion Hou by her father and becomes his wife.

The father he respected most forcibly took away the woman he loved most.

He, Qinglan, and now Champion Hou were actually playmates who grew up together since childhood.

The champion's real name was Du Heng, and he had no father or mother since he was a child. Chu Gucheng brought him from outside, and then renamed him Chu Heng and taught him carefully. Chu Heng's Taoist talent is extremely terrifying, and he is a man of great luck like Chu Gucheng.

His father, Chu Gucheng, even said bluntly that if Chu Heng was given enough time to grow, his future achievements would not necessarily be lower than his own.

Qinglan is the daughter of the old master Xian Chu Haotu. She has a very close relationship with Chu Wushang. They have played and practiced together since they were young. It is no exaggeration to describe her as childhood sweethearts. After Chu Heng arrived, as the eldest prince, Chu Wushang also took good care of this young man who had always been silent and silent, treating him as his own younger brother. Chu Heng has an upright character and respects Chu Wushang very much. He has never exceeded his status.

Moreover, he has always firmly believed that he will fully assist Chu Wu in the future and become his right-hand man. That period of time was indeed the most leisurely and happy time since Chu Wushang became the eldest prince.

However, everything began to change after he discovered that Chu Heng seemed to have an inexplicable affection for Jinglan. Qinglan is much older than Chu Heng, and she has always been a famous daughter of heaven in the capital of Xianchu Haotu Kingdom.

She has a gentle and cheerful personality... well-educated, virtuous and virtuous, beautiful and charming, and she also takes good care of Chu Heng.

If it weren't for the close relationship with Chu Wushang, the people who came to propose marriage would have already crossed the threshold of the old lady Fu's family.

Chu Heng himself also noticed the changes in the relationship between several people, so he resolutely left the palace and went to the border army to hone his skills.

It was during that period that terrible rumors about Chu Heng continued to spread from the border areas, shocking the entire capital and the entire land of Immortal Chu. He is like a young god of war, leading an army. He is victorious wherever he goes. Everywhere he passes, all enemies bow down and no one dares to disobey.

Under the leadership of Chu Heng, Xian Chu Haotu's army can be said to be a symbol of invincibility. Everyone who heard this was frightened. They defeated the strong with the weak many times, and conquered the entire army, sweeping across all directions. At a young age, Chu Heng had already shown his talents and was the immortal at that time.

Chu Haotu's most dazzling existence.

In comparison, the eldest prince Chu Wushang, who was practicing hard in the capital, looked much bleaker. It was clear that Chu Heng had left them, but Chu Wushang still felt that he was everywhere.

Especially Jinglan's eyes would light up every time she heard news about Chu Heng, and she would be extremely happy and happy. Seems to be happy about it. Chu Wushang was indeed a little jealous of Chu Heng at that time. The other party came from behind and far surpassed him in terms of reputation and cultivation. Even his childhood sweethearts, who have been close to him since childhood, seem to regard him differently.

Therefore, Chu Wushang chose to leave the capital and go out to practice and hone himself. At the same time, he also wanted to be like Chu Heng and become famous all over the world. He has been to Wuyou Valley, Jiuling Mountain, and Wanheya Qianjue Cave

He has left footprints in many dangerous places and dangerous restricted areas. His strength is constantly getting stronger. He thought he could surpass Chu Heng in this way. But when Chu Wushang heard the news about Chu Heng again, the other party had already led an army of tens of thousands and swept away many ethnic groups around Xianchu Haotu. During this period, he even led a small number of cavalrymen deep into the hinterland of a clan to capture the clan leader alive.

His achievements are so shocking that all the ministers and generals in the vast land of Xianchu are full of praise for him.

Hearing these rumors, Chu Wushang was shocked. He thought he was making rapid progress, but compared with his opponent, he was still standing still. The gap between the two seems to have been destined from the beginning, and he will never be able to catch up with the other person.

Frustrated and frustrated, Chu Wushang traveled a million miles into the forbidden area overnight, encountered a rare time hole in the past, and accidentally fell into it. There is no time in the time hole, it is like splicing together many broken time and space.

Maybe we are still in this time and space at this moment, but maybe the next moment will already appear at a certain moment eons ago.

Chu Wushang had the protective jade talisman left by Chu Gucheng on his body. With these life-saving items, he stayed in the time cave for a long time. But Chu Wushang didn't know how long it would last. It could be a moment, but it could also be dozens of epochs, or even longer.

After he escaped from the time cave, he found that his cultivation was already just one step away from the Tao realm. Chu Wushang, who was overjoyed, immediately found a place to retreat and break through.

Later, when he successfully broke through the Dao realm and returned to the vast land of Xianchu, he learned that his father Chu Gucheng had granted marriage to Chu Heng and Qinglan. This news was like a clear day revealing the need, and Chu Wushang was stunned on the spot.

It turned out that during the time he disappeared, Chu Heng had become the most successful champion in the entire army. He was in charge of three armies and had overwhelming power. His cultivation level has already broken through the Tao realm many years ago, and now it is even more unfathomable.

Even if he accidentally fell into the time void and received a heaven-defying blessing, he still would not be able to catch up with Chu Heng.

"Actually, you have always wrongly blamed your father. Originally, I should have told you about this matter very early on, but your father was worried that you would do something stupid, so he kept it secret from you. You are your father's biological flesh and blood. , how could he do something to break up you and Jinglan? You always thought that it was your father who wanted to stabilize the situation in Xianchu Haotu and knew that Chu Heng liked Jinglan, so he granted him a marriage. But that was not the case. This engagement was actually made by Jinglan who took the initiative to find your father and begged your father to grant a marriage between her and Chu Heng..."

Fu Bo looked at Chu Wushang who was lost in memories and had a look of pain on his face. He sighed slightly helplessly, then reached out and patted his shoulder. "What?" Chu Wushang froze on the spot, doubting his ears.

He always thought that it was his father, Chu Gucheng, who cruelly separated him and Qinglan. But now Fu Bo suddenly told him that this was not the case.

Instead, it was Jinglan who took the initiative to find his father and beg him to marry Chu Heng to her? Why is this so? Has she changed her mind?

"I don't want to see you always resenting your father because of this matter. Your father has always been very guilty, distressed, and very pleased with you. He knows that you are obviously very wronged and uncomfortable, but you always pretend not to care, for Xian Chuhao Consider the overall situation of the country.”

Uncle Fu sighed again, patted Chu Wushang on the shoulder, then turned and left. After hearing these words, Chu Wushang was stunned on the spot, as if he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

He was completely unaware that when Uncle Fu patted him on the shoulder, the faint wisps of black mist disappeared in an instant as if blown away by the night wind. Looking in the direction of the champion's palace, Chu Wushang, who had been stunned for a long time, suddenly had a flash of anger in his eyes.
