Li Fei nodded, with a little more respect in his eyes.
"I read the records in the history books. Didn't you suddenly die suddenly while leading your troops to rescue the Northern Zhao Kingdom? How could it become like this?"
"What a sudden death!" The old man suddenly became more angry: "It's those monkey boys who colluded with Liang, Xishu, and Peng Wei to rebel halfway!"
Zhao Rui was also stunned for a moment. No wonder the old man said that he was related to the former Northern Zhao State. It turned out to be this.
Speaking of which, Dongliang Kingdom is on the coast of the East China Sea, while Northern Zhao Kingdom is in the Xicui Desert. Not only are the two countries separated by tens of thousands of miles, but they also have to pass through several vassal states in between.
Under such circumstances, he still led troops to Xicui for rescue, which shows the kind of friendship the old man had with the Northern Zhao royal family.
Zhao Rui immediately saluted the old man.
"The junior was hunted down at a young age and fled to Dashang territory. I don't know much about the affairs of the Northern Zhao royal family. I hope the senior can explain it to the junior in detail."
The old man reached out and stroked Zhao Rui's head.
"You're lucky to be alive. It's understandable that you don't know what happened in the past! In fact, a long time ago, the ancestors of our two families were generals of the Great Shang Dynasty. Later, we agreed to intermarry for generations, so my wife
She is the princess of Northern Zhao Kingdom, so you and I are somewhat related."
At this time, Zhao Rui didn't care so much.
"Then my grandson will pay his respects to grandpa here!"
The old man quickly helped Zhao Rui up.
He is a full hundred years older than Zhao Rui, so the title Grandpa Zu is appropriate.
"I didn't expect that after living under this cliff for sixty years, I would still be able to see my descendants. God has been so kind to me!"
Zhao Rui felt a little more happy because he didn't expect to be able to establish a relationship with the old man in this way.
However, this fake identity did make him feel a little guilty.
In a daze, he suddenly discovered that when the old man helped him up, he only used his sleeves, but he felt as if something was grabbing his arm.
Could this be internal strength?
Zhao Rui couldn't help but marvel in his heart, no wonder the old man could live in this state for so long.
"Grandpa, who made you do this in the first place? If my grandson can get out one day, he will definitely avenge you."
Although there was hatred in the old man's eyes, he still sighed helplessly.
"Sixty years have passed. I'm afraid that person has died long ago. If you really go out, I hope you can help Dongliang get back on track!"
Zhao Rui seemed to have thought of something and grabbed the old man's shoulders with some excitement.
"You mean we can go out?"
The old man nodded, and then took Zhao Ruihe and Li Fei to a relatively open place.
"This is the gentlest place on the cliff. If you are strong enough, you can climb out by using the protruding rocks."
The joy on Zhao Rui's face disappeared. Isn't this nonsense? He doesn't know any kung fu, let alone any movement skills.
Even if he knew some rock climbing skills, it was impossible for him to climb up with this body.
"Grandpa, are you kidding me? Who can climb this kind of cliff?"
The old man laughed.
"Baby, don't you feel that your body is different from before? Now take a deep breath, jump as hard as you can, and see if you can pick the fruit from the tree."
