The Xiao family has suffered heavy losses recently, which is something everyone knows. The old head of the Xiao family, Xiao Zhanlong, the tiger of the empire, unexpectedly came back from the dead and turned the tide of the war. Only then did everyone realize that everything was the fault of that scheming guy.
The battle that followed was even more thrilling. It was said that five powerful men from the Holy Domain, who were usually like gods, fell in the battle.
These are all news that cannot be concealed. Naturally, the officials will not hide it. Instead, they will publicize it openly and publicize the killing of demon clones and save the continent from fire and water. The official reputation of the empire has never been so strong.
, even foreign countries were shocked by the excitement of Huanglong people.
When it comes to fighting demons, just like Xiao Tianming mentioned fighting the island nation in his previous life, it is a common resistance sentiment among the people. It cannot be erased by time, nor can it be erased by a few political lies. And the heroes who defeated the devil will be remembered by the world.
, within three days, the troubadours compiled a long poem about the heroes who participated in the war, which could be performed for three days and three nights, and spread it.
The strange thing is that it seems to be a tacit understanding and a tradition. No one asks for the details, and no one really traces the country's losses. Even if the troubadour said that Xiao Zhan's dragon and tiger body shook, and the devil knelt down to beg for mercy, he was
No one cares about cruelty and bloody plots. Authenticity becomes insignificant in the face of such a great victory, and the parties involved will never leak the information.
As a hero of the empire and a role model for the people, the Xiao family is filled with dark clouds, and even breathing is suppressed...
Although it is gratifying to see the old family head "resurrected from the dead", the loss of the family is an unavoidable issue:
After this battle, the old patriarch was seriously injured. The demon had just walked out of the portal, and the hell energy it carried had not yet been neutralized by the main plane. It was the most powerful moment. It was the old patriarch who stepped forward and fiercely attacked.
This dampened Abaddon's arrogance. He had suffered an early hidden injury caused by flames. Coupled with the new injuries, he fell to the ground seriously injured.
Afterwards, he repeatedly used secret techniques to stimulate his potential, rose up again and again, and with many companions in the sanctuary, severely injured Abaddon's body again and again, consuming most of his proud recovery ability, and his own injuries worsened again.
Finally, at the critical moment, he reluctantly activated the secret method to seal the family artifact "Flame Divine Sword", kill the last "Doomsday Fire Dragon", and save everyone from fire and water. The most direct consequence was that the old man's body could no longer hold on, and he was forced to hold on.
After completing all the aftermath tasks, he fell into bed and barely woke up until the third day.
Not to mention that in this battle, the second generation of the Xiao family lost their eldest son Xiao Shang and their second son Xiao Shan, leaving only Xiao Huo, the king of Xiaoyao, who had accomplished nothing. The third generation was left with only their eldest grandson Xiao Qifeng, who was left to flourish.
Hope's little grandson was sacrificed by the old family master himself, leaving no son or daughter behind.
The strength of the Xiao family, especially the strength of the direct lineage, has been greatly reduced both in theory and in fact. Fortunately, in the face of crisis, with the guarantee of the royal family, no one dared to take action against the Xiao family. Xiao Tianming strategized
Scheming and cruel methods, coupled with strong strength, have completely eliminated the ambitions of some people. The Xiao family is safe, at least until the devil retreats.
Three days later, in the morning, Xiao Zhanlong was sitting in the master's study like an ordinary old man, drinking morning tea, picking up a family document and reading it. After a while, the housekeeper would ask him to have breakfast.
Tranquility is his happiest and most relaxed time, and he hates to be disturbed the most.
At this time, footsteps were heard outside the door, and the old man frowned and looked: Who is so ignorant of the rules? Don't you know that old people like a quiet environment?
Within a few seconds, the unscrupulous person walked around the corner, his dark magic robe flowing out, walked into the room, pulled up the seat and sat down, picked up the exquisite teapot and took a sip, with an expression of enjoyment.
"I really don't know where you, old guy, hid this kind of good stuff, why didn't I find it?" Xiao Tianming pointed to the tea in his hand and said, with a look of unfinished content on his face.
"You came at the wrong time!" The old man looked reluctant. Ever since he brought this little ancestor into his home, the Xiao Mansion has not been quiet for a moment.
"Aren't you worried about your health?" Xiao Tianming became interested and said that he knew his own affairs. How could this old guy act like a normal person?
The old patriarch took another sip of tea and said slowly: "What can I do if I worry? The past is over, so what's the use of being anxious? Isn't this why I'm not dead?" This answer was surprisingly optimistic. But it made Yixin want to see the old patriarch.
Xiao Tianming, who turned pale with panic, felt bored for a while: The old guy had already reached a calm state of mind, which could not be disturbed by his little tricks.
"Okay, you win!" Xiao Tianming reluctantly threw over a phantom crystal, which recorded all the information about the old guy's body in great detail. This was the result of his three days' work.
The report only has two or three pages, but the old master read it for half an hour: "It seems that my health is in trouble, right?"
"It's very troublesome!" Xiao Tianming nodded and said, "You can't use force anymore. Every time you move, it will shorten your short lifespan. Old diseases and new injuries are constantly adding up. If you don't die on the spot, you are not
The vitality is tenacious.”
"How long do I have to live?"
"If you don't get angry, don't use force, and take good care of yourself, according to the current technical level, I am confident that you will see your grandson succeed the family head. Let you see the hope that the Xiao family will not decline in the next hundred years." Xiao Tianming
After pondering for a moment, he gave a relatively optimistic answer.
The old man smiled with satisfaction. This result was far beyond his expectations. Originally, his life that was supposed to end on the day when the poison occurred had hope again. Before he died, he had hope to fulfill his lifelong dream.
Think of it as a happy person.
The great warrior Xiao Zhanlong of the Imperial Tiger sighed like an ordinary old man in his dying years, and pulled Xiao Tianming to chat about everyday things. The chatter continued all night long.
Afterwards, there was news of a personnel adjustment in the Xiao family: the old head of the family, Xiao Zhanlong, officially resigned and retired to the countryside. The head of the family was succeeded by the third remaining son, Xiao Huo. The position of the next prospective head of the family has also been determined, and it is the sole responsibility of the eldest son Xiao Shang.
Give birth to a son, Xiao Qifeng, a young man who dares to confront the devil head-on. His courage is enough to support the Xiao family.
What puzzles those who are interested is that this personnel adjustment even includes the list of people who eliminated Xiao Shan's gang members. It is extremely detailed, but there is no name of Xiao Tianming. Not even the names of his attendants can be found. It seems that Xiao Tianming has never been in the future.
has never existed and has never existed.
The three old men, the real top leaders of the empire, were surprisingly unanimous. On the afternoon of the announcement of this adjustment, they rushed to the Xiao family courtyard together and grabbed the old family master to ask for details. Was it because the Xiao family was suspicious and obliterated the meritorious service?
Minister? Old Emperor Jinkouyu
He said that he poached a corner on the spot and promised: If Xiao Tianming is willing to join the royal family, he will not only give a beautiful princess from the collateral line as his wife, but also reward him with titles, positions, properties, houses, and gold. It is no worse than the annual rewards for the champion of the Youth Academy Competition.
It stands to reason that there is a difference between emperor and minister. In this three-thirds of an acre of land in the empire, those who offend the emperor will definitely not get good results. However, the two masters of the Song Dynasty and the Wei Dynasty rejected the old emperor's proposal and exposed their shortcomings again and again. From personal freedom to
Princess Xu's reputation was not good, and various royal scandals appeared one after another in the mouths of two unscrupulous old guys. Rumors that usually causing death if you uttered even half a word more were like rumors in the vegetable market.
Chinese cabbage is generally found everywhere.
Xiao Tianming, who had just arrived, was dumbfounded. He hurriedly stopped the three old men who were about to study the serious issue of corruption in the royal family's private life, and asked shyly: "What on earth are you doing?" He looked at him with pleading eyes.
The old man looked at the three fighting men with an excited look on his face, as if he was picking up a piece of popcorn and munching on it.
"Weren't you expelled from the Xiao family? Come to me. My granddaughter is much better than the royal family's used daughter. She is sixteen this year and has fully inherited my excellent genes. She will never let you
Disappointed." Song Yu was frothing at the mouth, talking wildly, as if he would not abandon the royal princess and choose his granddaughter who appeared out of nowhere, which was Xiao Tianming's biggest loss.
"Little guy, don't listen to him! Who doesn't know the reputation of the Song family as 'a clan of thousands of men'? This old guy has countless direct granddaughters. Who knows what kind of things he will use to try to offend you? Besides,
, the Song family is in chaos, everyone knows, you don’t want to be cuckolded every day, do you? Come to me, I will give you the position of acting head of the family, you don’t have to listen to anyone in the family except what I say,
How about they all listen to you?"
Wei Yan also seemed to be anxious. He rarely uttered a long paragraph and his face turned red. The conditions he offered were even more tempting. The position and power of the acting patriarch of a big family are also very different. Some people are simply puppets, and some are simply puppets.
But people hold heavy fists and are majestic. Xiao Tianming's is the best. Wei Yan's promise is absolutely true to his word, and no one dares to resist.
Xiao Tianming completely gave up on persuading the three old people, and could only pretend to agree, and bring the topic back to business. He never expected that a casual promise would lead to him living an unforgettable "star career". It was painful.
A long time.
After some bargaining and private exchanges with the big bosses, a general cooperation plan was formally formed. The 500,000 troops requested by Xiao Tianming a few days ago were ready to go, and many families entered the preparation stage nervously and orderly.
Even if they don't know their mission and ultimate goal, the belief in their hearts makes these troops fully capable of destroying more than three times the number of veterans, with neat military appearance and extraordinary momentum.
As for Xiao Tianming, who was busy with everything, Xiao Tianming, who had just finished making the training schedule and defense map, came to the west side of the empire again. The land was not big or small, barely occupying more than half of the street.
His face was filled with a smile of relief and longing for the future.
