PFC Chapter 265 Reborn
Chapter 265 Reborn
The end of summer is about to come, and when autumn comes, it is time for prisoners to be executed.
One day, after finishing training, Zhen Jun sat restlessly in the camp.
Ever since returning from suppressing the rebellion, they have been undergoing closed intensive training, turning a deaf ear to what is happening outside.
Seeing that the day of his father's execution was approaching, Zhen Jun couldn't help but muster up the courage and go to Si Yan's tent.
"grown ups?"
Zhen Jun stood at the door of the military tent, his hands hanging neatly at his sides, his head held high and his chest puffed out, standing in the exact military posture.
"Come in." Si Yan responded lightly. Just by hearing the voice, she knew who the visitor was.
Zhen Jun lifted the curtain and walked in. Si Yan was looking through a pile of documents without even raising his head.
For the past six months, Lord Si Yan has always had this attitude towards him, neither cold nor hot, neither salty nor bland.
To be precise, adults have the same attitude towards everyone, including people like Lei Yijie who always rank at the top during training.
Zhen Jun hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to start: "Sir, I..."
"Just tell me if you have anything to say."
"I want to see my father. He will be executed soon."
As Zhen Jun spoke, a sad atmosphere filled the air around him. The only thing he was worried about now was his father.
Si Yan raised his eyes slightly and said, "His Majesty has ascended the throne and issued a general amnesty. Your father is among those pardoned."
"Ah?" Zhen Jun was surprised. His father was pardoned a few months ago?
He was training in the army and didn't know anything about it.
"I'll give you a day off tonight. Come back early tomorrow morning."
"Thank...thank you, sir." Zhen Jun was so excited that he was at a loss for a moment.
He hurried out to get a horse, and rode at full speed to a farm outside the city.
After my father was imprisoned, the Zhen family lived in this farm. Now that my father has been pardoned, he will also live in this farm.
Zhen Jun galloped all the way back to the farm. By then, it was already dark.
The housekeeper at the door saw him and was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth: "The young master is back! The young master is back!"
This loud shout attracted many people from the village.
Zhen Jun walked into the yard and strode into the hall. The hall in the manor was far inferior to the former Zhen Mansion.
But when he saw his father and mother were both there, Zhen Jun couldn't help but shed tears.
"Father." Zhen Jun rushed to Zhen Zhinian and knelt down with a plop.
Zhen Zhinian hurried forward to help his son up. After not seeing him for half a year, Jun'er had grown taller, stronger, and more solid, and his body had the strength of a man.
What surprised Zhen Zhinian even more was that although Zhen Jun's eyes were red, they were firm and no longer as frivolous as before.
His son had really changed. He had become so tall, calm, and strong...
Zhen Zhinian burst into tears of joy: "How did you come back? Did Lord Si Yan agree?"
"Agreed, father. My lord has asked me to come back and return to the barracks early tomorrow morning."
Zhen Zhinian wiped away his tears and patted his son's shoulder: "The rules in the army are strict. You should go back soon and don't cause trouble for Lord Si Yan. Father is relieved to see that you are safe and sound."
"It was the child who harmed his father." Zhen Jun couldn't help feeling sad when he thought about what happened to his father.
If he hadn't been so willful and ignorant, he wouldn't have caused trouble for his father.
"No, child." Zhen Jinian shook his head. "It was father who took the wrong path and ruined our family. Father didn't teach you well before. Fortunately, you met Lord Si Yan..."
Zhen Jun nodded, feeling deeply moved: "Yes, my son, only now do I know that a person can actually live like this. Lord Si Yan has given me a second life."
The hatred in Zhen Jun's eyes no longer existed. When he mentioned Si Yan, he was filled with admiration.
Zhen Zhinian held his son's hand. The boy's hands used to be white and tender, but now they have become rough, but stronger and more powerful. Calluses have grown on the palms, which makes people feel safe when holding them.
Zhen Zhinian said earnestly, "Jun'er, you must learn to be grateful. You must know who saved the Zhen family: it was Lord Si Yan and His Majesty.
"Your Majesty once begged the late Emperor to show leniency to my father, and so my father was executed in the autumn. Then, when Your Majesty ascended the throne and issued a general amnesty, Your Majesty specifically issued an imperial decree to pardon my father's crime. Your Majesty's grace is immense, Jun'er.
"I have no other wishes now. I only hope that you can learn skills and repay Lord Si Yan, His Majesty, and Da Xuan in the future."
"Father, I understand."
Zhen Junhui held his father's hand and looked at the white hair on his father's temples, his eyes a little moist.
"During his time in the military, my son has learned a lot and understood his due responsibilities. Don't worry, my son will train hard and will never let you down."
"My son is sensible, and I'm very pleased." Zhen Zhinian smiled. "Go talk to your mother for a while. After dinner, we'll rush back to the army."
"Yes, father."
Zhen Jun reminisced about the past with his father and chatted with his mother about family matters. After dinner, he prepared to return to the military camp.
In Zhuangzi's courtyard, Zhen Jun saw a group of his guards, including Ren Hu, a total of more than ten people.
Everyone was wearing muddy clothes, and it was obvious that they had gone to work in the fields.
Today, the Zhen family is no longer as prominent as it used to be. All the members of the Zhen family have been dismissed, and those who have not left have to help with the rough work.
"Master, son..."
Everyone looked at their young master cautiously, and felt that he seemed like a different person.
"Long time no see." Zhen Jun stopped and said a few words to everyone.
Ren Hu, with two scars on his mouth, grinned and approached Zhen Jun: "Sir, did Si Yan bully you? If he bullied you, brothers..."
"Ren Hu!" Zhen Jun shouted angrily, interrupting him, "Don't bully people anymore. If I find out that you're being domineering, I won't let you off."
Zhen Jun threw down a few words, took the things in his hand and left the manor.
Ren Hu and others looked confused. The young master had indeed changed.
Zhen Jun galloped through the autumn night, quickly heading towards the military camp. Suddenly, he felt as if his mind suddenly became clear...
Once upon a time, he had nothing to do, was lazy and idle, and wandered around the streets all day long. In fact, he was very empty inside.
Nowadays, although the training is hard and tiring, he feels fulfilled in his heart.
Zhen Jun ran all the way and came to Si Yan's military tent. Si Yan's military tent was brightly lit as usual.
Zhen Jun had noticed a long time ago that Lord Si Yan always went to bed late, got up early, and had to train with them every day.
In addition, Lord Si Yan also has to deal with various military affairs, so he is very busy.
"Sir?" Zhen Jun stood at the door, the evening breeze blowing across his cheeks, making his mind particularly clear.
"Come in." Si Yan said calmly. Seeing that it was Zhen Jun again, he had a bag on his back. "Didn't I tell you to come back tomorrow morning?"
"No, sir, I have training tomorrow morning and cannot be delayed."
Zhen Jun said this as he took off the bag on his back and took out the things inside.
"My father asked me to bring these to you. They are local specialties from the farm, such as dried meat and dried fruits."
Si Yan glanced at it briefly and said calmly, "Okay, put it down."
"Yes, my lord."
Zhen Jun happily put down the bag, then suddenly took two steps back, kowtowed three times solemnly to Si Yan, and then left.
Si Yan looked at the man's straight back in the night, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
This kid is starting to transform himself.
