The Hualong Empire has tens of millions of soldiers, one of which has only a few thousand people so far, seems particularly special.
The equipment is ordinary, the combat power is ordinary, and most of them are veterans with gray hair. After the thrilling death battle more than ten years ago, the scholars of Zhao rose to prominence and are now at the top of the great ministers holding more than half of the troops and horses of the entire Hualong Empire.
The surviving veterans also received generous rewards and promotions, but none of them accepted this honor. They collectively petitioned and only became the most ordinary and lowest-level guard in this life. They just wanted to spend the rest of their lives to protect the person who was worthy of their efforts.
More than ten years ago, when the border was killed, the opponent was the 16-Nation Alliance with a large number of people and extremely strong combat power.
There was light snow that day, but there was a strange dark red between the sky and the earth.
The coalition of the Sixteen Kingdoms was unstoppable, and the defenders of the Hualong Empire retreated step by step until the person appeared.
"All the soldiers obey orders and fight to the death!" The person speaking was a slender woman in blue clothes.
Everyone only knew that Mrs. Ling was extremely smart, but on that day, they still did not know that Mrs. Ling was also a soul warrior, a rare nine-star war soul emperor in the world. Her war soul was a soft and cold nine-part water whip.
She braved the rainy arrows of Gujing Bubo and walked up to the city wall and took a pair of Hundred Flower Drum Sticks from a soldier with blood.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
The war drum of the Hualong Empire sounded again.
After the three-way battle drum, a blue-robed man soared into the air, and the nine-section water whip in his hand emitted a dazzling light.
She alone dragged hundreds of war soul masters from the Allied Forces of the Sixteen Kingdoms.
The defenders of the Hualong Empire went crazy and broke their arms, so they used their other arm and their legs, and crawled over and bite them like beasts with their hands.
The less wins the more, and the defeat turns into victory. The vast ground is full of blood.
The few remaining Hualong was crying. That day, each of them used a sharp knife to carve a word on themselves - Ling!
After the waiter finished speaking, his eyes turned red, as if he had experienced that death battle himself. Everyone in the restaurant was silent. Although he heard this past countless times, he would still sigh at the same time. What kind of woman was that?
Xu Lei gently pinched the wine glass, took a sip, squinted his eyes and smiled faintly, "If you have a mother, you will have a daughter."
A touch of green clothes, nine-section water whip, green clothes, I am happy for you to have such a mother.
Two men in Chinese uniforms appeared next to Xu Lei at some time.
"Someone wants to see you, please follow us."
Xu Lei turned around and squinted his eyes and said, "Oh?"
One of them sighed, "Don't doubt, if we had any malice, it would have disappeared forever as early as the day you entered the border of the Hualong Empire."
"Whoever sees my surname is Zhao?" Xu Lei took a sip of wild flower tea.
The two of them did not answer directly, and nodded as a default, "Please."
Xu Lei had no intention of resisting. Even if the person Zhao Taishi, who held more than half of the military power of the Hualong Empire, had to be brought back even if he wanted to see the people in the Hualong Empire.
And Xu Lei also wanted to see what this man who made a flawless woman willing to sacrifice everything, including her life, looked like.
The meeting place was not as mysterious and nervous as expected, but was in a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, but the level of vigilance was no less than that in the palace.
Surrounded by the stream and the trees are shaded, Mrs. Ling’s tombstone is just a green jade monument that is one meter square, very delicate and quiet.
"Qingyi's mother liked quietness during her lifetime, and she must have liked this place very much." In front of the jade monument was an old man with a hunchback on his back. If he only had his back, no one would think that the old man who looked even a little desolate was the Grandmaster Zhao who held the power of millions of troops.
"But you let her die on the noisiest battlefield." Facing the famous Grandmaster Zhao who held more than half of the military power of the Hualong Empire, Xu Lei was not nervous at all. Although as soon as he said this absolutely impolite words, a nearly substantial murderous aura surged around him. He knew that although it seemed that only he was here, as long as he had any subtle and unfavorable actions, he would immediately attract an unknown number of masters to kill him in an instant.
Master Zhao turned around, and the murderous aura around him disappeared instantly.
"Leave Ling Qingyi." Zhao's face was full of vicissitudes of life, but his eyes looked particularly firm and quiet. Like Ling Qingyi's eyes, there was no need to be deliberately pretended, and his tone was gentle and calm, but the long-term domineering and unconfident nature that naturally showed could not be imitated no matter what.
"I know you can destroy me with just one subtle command, but I still have to say three words, but I can't do it." Xu Lei's tone was also very calm, without any turbulence.
The thought of the teacher was touched slightly. No one had ever said half of the words to refuse to him for many years. With his vicious eyes, he could see that the indifference of the ordinary young man in front of him was not something that could be disguised.
"I know who you are. You are Qingyi's father and Taishi Zhao who holds the power of millions of soldiers and horses in the world." Xu Lei calmly met the eyes of the Taishi that ordinary people dare not look directly at, and said calmly, "But unless you let me disappear immediately, even if you use the soldiers and horses in the world, I will not give up looking for Qingyi. And I promise that I will definitely find her in this life!"
"Do you think I won't kill you?" Master Zhao's tone was a little angry. For many years, no one dared to talk to him like this.
"Either kill me immediately, or tell me where Qingyi is, or let me find it myself." Xu Lei did not directly answer Master Zhao's question.
Master Zhao suddenly laughed, "Are you threatening me?"
Xu Lei also smiled and said, "It must be Qingyi that doesn't let you kill me, otherwise I will not have the chance to stand here and talk to you today."
Master Zhao exclaimed in his heart, and couldn't help but look at this young man who could not see any special no matter how he looked.
Stubborn, stubborn, almost terrible calm. If he didn't see it with his own eyes, he would never believe that the only young man in his twenties with such a demeanor was just a young man in his twenties.
But his face was not at all turbulent, and he looked at Xu Lei and said, "You are right, this is my promise to Qingyi."
"The last time the Hualong Empire used the Dragon Guard, it was also the condition of Qingyi." Xu Lei suddenly felt a sense of sorrow. The Yinluo Empire had suffered a catastrophe. The Dragon Guard of the Hualong Empire appeared in time to create the Yinluo Empire.
At that time, Xu Lei never thought about the reason. Now he knew that everything was the smart woman in blue. On the day when the Dragon Guard appeared, she knew that she was about to leave him, so she deliberately made an excuse to let him go out for a trip because she was afraid that she would not be able to bear to leave.
"At this point, I won't hide it from you. The world's overall situation is chaotic, especially the three empires. Any slightest movement will cause the lives of this continent to suffer. Over the years, the three empires have done their best not to get along with each other. All of this has developed as expected, but your appearance has disrupted this expectation."
"Me?" Xu Lei couldn't understand very much.
Mr. Zhao continued, "Qingyi met Prince Yadan of the Orte Empire since childhood, and he made a marriage when he was a child. His Highness and the King of the Orte Empire came forward in person. Since then, the relationship between the two countries has gradually become better. Qingyi has been obedient since childhood and does not object to this marriage."
Speaking of this, Master Zhao's voice suddenly increased a little, "But one day, she suddenly told me that she wanted to cancel the engagement, but can such an engagement be cancelled casually? Does she know what consequences will be caused by canceling this engagement? Later, I sent someone to inquire and knew that everything was because of you. The reason why I didn't touch you was because I wanted Qingyi to see what kind of person you were. I wanted to let you die by yourself, let Qingyi be disappointed, and let her give up completely!"
Master Zhao suddenly sighed, "But you disappointed me, so disappointed me that Qingyi is increasingly unable to live without you."
Xu Lei smiled faintly, "You disappointed me too."
Master Zhao was stunned, and Xu Lei continued to sneer, "I always thought that a woman like Qingyi should have an unusual father and an unusual mother, but now I know that Qingyi does have an unusual mother, but her father is an absolute coward!"
Crazy! Who dares to speak to the Grand Master like this when his opponent holds the power of tens of millions of troops today?
He asked the Grand Master to suppress the anger in his heart. Decades of intrigue have helped him develop a skill that can stabilize his emotions at any time.
"You once sacrificed Mrs. Ling, who was several times stronger than you but was devoted to you, to exchange for today's glory and wealth. Today, you have to sacrifice your biological daughter's lifelong happiness to stabilize your power and status. A man uses his wife and daughter who should have protected his life to benefit himself. No matter how high your status is, you are a perfect coward, and you are not worthy of being Qingyi's father!"
Xu Lei laughed out loud and smiled contemptuously!
Master Zhao actually lost his composure and trembled all over, "Shut up..."
The murderous intent around him became stronger and stronger, and Xu Lei laughed out loud. He was so happy. It turned out that Qingyi cared about him so much, so that was enough. What about death?
"I promised Qingyi not to hurt you, but I can destroy your Yinluo Empire and let everyone in the Yinluo Empire die tragically!" Master Zhao roared.
Xu Lei suddenly stopped smiling and said word by word: "You are indeed not worthy of being Qingyi's father."
After saying that, Xu Lei walked to Mrs. Ling's jade tombstone and kowtowed respectfully, "Mrs. Ling, leave your green clothes to me. Don't worry, as long as I live, I will not let her suffer any grievance or any harm!"
After saying that, he left without looking back, and he didn't look at the Grand Master with anger and trembling all over.
After Xu Lei left, several men in black wearing masks appeared behind the founding master at some point.
"Taoshi, just let him go?"
A gust of mountain wind suddenly blew, and the trees around him rustled. It was clear that the sky was clear, and suddenly a black cloud floated over the top, and the heavy raindrops of beans rolled down like beans. Several men in black instantly surrounded Master Zhao in the center. Even if the Nine-Star War Soul Emperor came, he would not have to get close to Master half a step closer.
Master Zhao waved his hand and retreated the man in black who was blocking him. He braved the heavy rain and looked at the small jade monument. His face was already wet, not sure whether it was rain or tears.
"Madam, even you think I'm wrong?"
