Rebirth of the Four Seas Emperor

Chapter 131 Chen Kun’s Choice

Chen Kun felt that he was going crazy. He always felt that Zuo Zheng's ghost had not dissipated and was always around him.

I can no longer do whatever I want like before.

After struggling for a long time in his heart, he finally said in a more respectful tone:

"Back to Your Highness, the army is the army and the people are the people. If Your Highness treats me with military force, how unfair would it be to the other people who participated in the defense of the city? Therefore, the common people can only accept His Highness's kindness."

Hearing what Chen Kun said, Ji Wenjun became even more fond of the sloppy-looking man in front of her, and even felt that it was a pity for such an upright person not to join the army.

"Sure enough, Chen Yingxiong has both ability and political integrity, and a general understanding. The imperial court needs people like you. I wonder if Chen Yingxiong intends to serve the imperial court."

Chen Kun was about to start a fight. Are you kidding me? I am the captain of the first team of the Wu Fleet, invincible across the world.

How crazy do you have to be to mess with the corrupt officials of the entire dynasty and make life miserable for the people of Great Xia?

Chen Kun was thinking in his mind, but when he opened his mouth to curse, he seemed to see the face of Zuo Zheng in the sky staring at him.

The sir’s words kept echoing in my ears:

"You feel like this because you don't know what you want. Think carefully about what you really want?"

What do I want...?

what do you want……?

money?

Beauty?

Power?

status?

No, I don’t want anything, I don’t want anything.

Zuo Zheng's face suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and he shouted at him:

"Chen Yingxiong, I'll leave the city to you, I'll leave it to you... The sun, moon, mountains and rivers will always be there, the country of Daxia will always be there, Polu——"

Chen Kun covered his face with his hands in pain and muttered to himself:

"Zuo Zheng, Zuo Zheng, it's you bitch who is forcing me, right? It's you who is forcing me, no, I don't want it, I don't want anything..."

In the dark, Zuo Zheng's face seemed to be saying:

"You have something you want. Protecting the people of this city and the people of this country is my last wish. Please fulfill it for me."

Chen Kun struggled in his heart and shouted:

"No, I am a free pirate. I don't want to protect any country or people. I only fight for myself..., only for myself..., myself...do I have myself?"

Chen Kun suddenly roared:

"who am I?"

Ji Wenjun was startled, and Yu Xiuer quickly protected him.

"Your Highness, be careful."

Hou Yao heard the shouting outside and walked in with Chen Junnan:

"Who's shouting? What's going on."

After saying that, he saw Chen Kun kneeling on the ground with his head in his hands and a look of pain on his face.

Chen Junnan stepped forward and lifted Chen Kun up:

"Brother Chen, what's wrong with you?"

I saw that Chen Kun had tears streaming down his face and his face was in extreme pain:

"Who am I...? What on earth do I want to do? What do I want to do?"

Everyone was confused and didn't know what he meant. They just thought that this person might be crazy.

Only Hou Yao suddenly felt something in his heart and said:

"Zuo Zheng, you are Zuo Zheng, Zuo Zheng, the cadre of Daxia who is dedicated to protecting his family and country. You are an iron-blooded and loyal Zuo Zheng who is willing to sacrifice his life for the people of Daxia and fight to the end with the enemies of Daxia forever. .”

Everyone was confused by Hou Yao's words. It was clearly Chen Kun, why did he become Zuo Zheng again?Didn't Zuo Ganhu die in the battle?

At this moment, Chen Kun suddenly raised his head with a confused expression:

"Am I Zuo Zheng?"

Hou Yao nodded affirmatively:

"Yes, Zuo Ganhu, thank you for your sacrifice for the people of Guangzhou City. From now on, the city of Guangzhou will be protected by you."

Chen Kun's eyes suddenly shone, and he stood up straight unconsciously. Then, after looking around at everyone, he looked at Ji Wenjun. After staring blankly for a few seconds, he suddenly knelt down on one knee and said:

"My lord, I am willing to serve the princess. I will never break the enemy's army, my horse will never turn around, my loyal bones will never be broken, and the mountains and rivers will last forever."

Although Ji Wenjun was a little scared, he felt a sense of excitement in his heart. He immediately suppressed the fear in his heart and said:

"Okay, General Chen, please rise. From now on, you will join the Bao'an Army first. Mr. Hou, please arrange a position for General Chen."

Hou Yao's eyes twitched, this bitch is really addicted to cheating her, and now she even wants to recruit crazy people into her own army.But in front of so many people, the princess couldn't get off the stage, so she immediately said:

"It just so happens that the leader of the Second Regiment of the Baoan Army's Pioneer Battalion died in battle, so Chen Kun will temporarily take over as the leader."

Chen Kun nodded, but didn't speak.

Ji Wenjun thought that Chen Kun was dissatisfied with Hou Yao's arrangement, so he asked:

"General Chen, do you have any opinions on Master Hou's arrangements?"

Chen Kun shook his head:

"Wei Jiang has no opinion."

Ji Wenjun nodded:

"Thank you for your hard work, General. I have nothing else to do. You should go back and rest first. After three days of rest, you can report to the Baoan Army Pioneer Camp."

Chen Kun cupped his fists and said:

"If you fail to comply with the order, please leave."

After saying that, he walked out with his head held high.

Hou Yao sighed deeply, and Yu Xiuer asked with doubts in her mind:

"My lord, why did you say General Chen is Zuo Ganhu just now? Is he crazy now?"

Everyone else also looked at Hou Yao. Chen Kun's state was so strange that everyone wanted to know what happened.

Hou Yao actually didn't know what was going on, but with so many people looking at him, he had to make up a reasonable excuse. As a man, who could not save face, so he could only think for a moment and then said:

"I accidentally heard someone talk about Zuo Zheng's deeds as a cadre before. This person is similar to General Zhu. Of course, his strength is not comparable to General Zhu's, but it is precisely because he is weak that he touches Chen Kun. It will be even bigger. Everyone knows who Chen Kun is. The captain of the Tianwu First Fleet is extremely arrogant. It is impossible for ordinary people to convince such a person.

But in this battle to defend the city, Zuo Zheng did it. Zuo Zheng used his character and virtue to conquer the rebellious Chen Kun and gained his approval. If not for the subsequent rescue effort, maybe the two of them would have succeeded. Become friends who care about each other.But Zuo Zheng finally saved Chen Kun by exchanging his life for his life. The key is that when he was dying, he entrusted him with the responsibility of protecting the city. His noble character made Chen Kun feel ashamed.

I don’t know what Chen Kun is thinking in his heart, but I’m sure that Chen Kun would rather die than Zuo Zheng. In addition, the battle situation at that time was fierce and he was under high mental stress. This caused him to have some mental abnormalities, as if he had split himself into two people, one side was Zuo Zheng whom he wanted to live, and the other side was himself. "

Chen Junnan suddenly realized:

"Oh, does that mean that Chen Kun suffered from hysteria because of Zuo Ganhu's death? This guy is really unlucky."

After Chen Junnan's explanation, everyone suddenly felt enlightened.It turned out that I was suffering from hysteria.

Hou Yao had the urge to vomit blood. He felt that Chen Kun was suffering from schizophrenia, but there was no such thing as schizophrenia in this era, so he racked his brains and tried so many excuses. He didn't expect that he could use hysteria to explain it. .

In fact, Chen Kun's current situation is indeed very similar to schizophrenia, but there are still certain differences.

As an accomplished pirate, Chen Kun has actually been living with extremely low self-esteem due to his inborn problems.

He has always relied on risking his life to fight to balance his inferiority complex.

When I first joined the Tianwu Gang, it was a very low period when the Tianwu Gang had just experienced major setbacks and was reborn from the ashes.

At that time, he was living in a precarious situation every day. His only thought was to make the Tianwu Gang stronger, so he was full of fighting spirit and fought and fought with all his heart.

These battles not only balanced his inferiority complex, but also brought him a lot of honors and helped him find his confidence.

It's just that the Tianwu Gang has reached a limit of strength now, and there are fewer and fewer enemies to fight against, and there are more entanglements of various interests. They can no longer fight as they like before.

Therefore, in the past two years, the Wu Gang has spent most of their time running business or doing various interest-related negotiations, and there have been few real battles.

Therefore, veterans like Chen Kun, who make a living by fighting, feel at a loss and cannot find their place.

Coupled with year-round high-intensity fighting and high concentration, you face crazy enemies and dead comrades every day.There was no timely mental counseling, which resulted in a mild "veteran syndrome".

Chen Kun is not the only member of the Tianwu gang who suffers from "veteran syndrome". Even He Jinghui often laments that although life is better now, it lacks the joy and passion of fighting against the waves and sand in the past.

That's why Chen Kun feels like he has no goals in life. In fact, he feels that he is too idle.

Coupled with the deterioration of his physical condition, he had to turn his attention to his own condition, and lost the balance of fighting, which resurrected his inferiority complex, causing him to extremely hate himself now.

As for the appearance of Zuo Zheng, Chen Kun admired his character for one thing. Another important reason was that Zuo Zheng's desperate fighting spirit allowed Chen Kun to see his former self.

When he first joined the Tianwu Gang, he, like Zuo Zheng, was not strong enough. At that time, the battles were about life-and-death struggles every day, and he could die on the battlefield at any time.

It was dangerous but simple at that time. The only thing I wanted to think about was how to kill the enemy. There was nothing else in my mind.

But as his strength grew, he had more and more things to think about, especially after becoming the captain of the First Fleet and changing from a combatant to a commander, he had fewer opportunities to fight.

During the battle to defend the city, due to insufficient combat power, when command alone could no longer reverse the situation, he relieved all his burdens and devoted himself to the front-line battle again. Just like a veteran returning to the battlefield, he felt that he had returned to the battlefield. Found his own place.

So death was not scary to him, but seemed like a relief. But he didn't die, Zuo Zheng saved him.

He had already seen the shadow of his former self in Zuo Zheng, and Zuo Zheng's redemption was undoubtedly a greater stimulus to him.

In his heart, he used his life to save the extremely disgusted himself in the past. This was the main reason why he could not accept Zuo Zheng's death.

Chen Kun of the Tianwu Gang is dead, and the one who survives now is the combination of the passionate Zuo Zheng in his mind and his past.
