Chapter 245 - Incomprehensible Heart NodulesThis day, the southern region of Silvermoon Forest was very close to the Silvermoon Mountain Range. An old man, a young man, and a young woman were travelling together.
The young man and the old man walked at the front with arms around each other"s shoulders, while the young lady silently walked at the back.
The old man embraced the young man"s shoulders, his body reeking of alcohol. He laughed as he turned his head, sneakily glancing at the young girl behind him before turning to speak to the young man.
"Crown Prince, your method of picking up girls is truly amazing. To be able to lure such a beautiful woman into a forbidden area like the Silvermoon Forest, that"s truly too high!"Without waiting for Xiang Yun to speak up, the old man spoke out in praise once more.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this girl"s skin is fair and her b.u.t.tocks are big, she"s very fertile. Prince, you"ve really picked up a treasure. I"ll definitely hug you two next three years and you"ll be very happy!"
Old Liang was drunk. He didn"t suppress his voice at all when he spoke. These words were clearly heard by Luo Ning behind him.Xiang Yun was speechless. He really wanted to find a toilet to plug this old brat"s mouth shut!
"Old man, if you dare to spout nonsense again, I"ll tear your mouth apart!"As expected, Luo Ning, who had been silent all this time, finally opened her mouth. Her voice was icy cold, as if she was about to draw her sword and confront any disagreement.
Xiang Yun hurriedly calmed the situation down with a wry smile, "Miss Oi Luo Ning, don"t listen to this old fellow"s nonsense. He"s actually pretty good, just that his thoughts are a little dirty, his mouth is a little dirty, his character is a little despicable, and he even likes to spout nonsense. You must not take him to heart!""Hmph! Then I"ll go further away. You guys stay behind and chat!"
Luo Ning coldly snorted before her figure flashed. She quickly flew past the two of them and left them behind.
"Eh, why did this girl run away? Could it be that she"s feeling shy?"
Old Liang slowly opened his wine bottle with a look of confusion on his face.Speak your head shyly. What do you have to say? You don"t want others to hear it, so you don"t have to say such embarra.s.sing words.
Old Liang chuckled, "Your Highness, can you tell?""Hmph. Nonsense. How could a peerless expert like you drink wine and run around on a train with just one mouth? You must have done it intentionally."
Old Liang waved his hand and seriously said, "Your highness, you guessed wrong. Although this old man drinks, I have never used any external force to expel the smell of alcohol. If I"m drunk, then I"m really drunk!""Enough, cut the c.r.a.p. Tell me honestly. An old coachman can fly into the sky and escape the earth, and he can split a mountain with a sword. Don"t you want to explain it to me?"
"Why are you still explaining? If I didn"t say anything, you would have already guessed it."
"Sure enough, it was arranged by him!" Xiang Yun lowered his head, his expression dark and gloomy!
Old Liang reached out and patted Xiang Yun"s shoulder, "Your Highness, you should be happy. The prince has never given up on you. To be able to send me to protect you in secret is not something that can benefit Eldest Brother and Second Brother."
"Haha …" Xiang Yun lowered his head and let out a cold laugh. He raised his head, his gaze filled with ridicule!
"Happy?""To be manipulated like a chess piece and to be recklessly arranged by them, you should be happy? With the protection of a peerless expert like you, and me acting like a fool waiting to die, should I be happy? "
"His Royal Highness has his own difficulties!" Old Liang said with a wry smile.
"You"re talking about the fight between Imperial Uncle and him, right?"
"You already know about it?" Old Liang was once again surprised.
"Hmph. Regardless of what country it is in the dynasty, it has always been taboo between the emperor and the officials to have a high authority. My royal father wielded over half of the military power in the world, and his t.i.tle of "King side by side" was already at its peak, and he was also revered by the citizens of the Windy Cloud Nation as" War G.o.d ". He was revered by tens of thousands of people.""How could two tigers live in one mountain? Not to mention a tiger that is even stronger than me! If I were an emperor, I would be wary of him. It would naturally be best to eliminate him!" How could I not know? "
A light flashed up in Old Liang"s eyes. He said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, you only know this much, but do you know what pushed all of this to this point?"
"What else could it be? It is naturally ambition, ambition, ambition, ambition, to fight against the world and become the true master of this nation!""Wrong!" This was the first time the old man"s voice was so resolute and decisive!
"Did you know that when Xiang Lingfeng was still crown prince, he already had the intention to kill your father? When the late emperor was just in critical condition, he was prepared to make a move against your highness!"Old Liang sneered, "This group of laughable fellows simply doesn"t know that the greatest loophole in that seemingly flawless plan is the people within it."
"With your father"s strength at that time, he was able to tear this web to pieces. He even killed the people who laid out the trap!"
"But in the end, your father did not choose the former. Instead, he silently retreated and took the initiative to head over to the northwest to guard the bitterly cold lands. He became the "Northwest King" and allowed Xiang Lingfeng to safely ascend to the throne!"
"Your father originally wanted to settle the grudge between us! However, the trees wanted peace and the wind never stopped. In 253 years, the barbarians of the north had mobilized a hundred thousand troops to expand their territory and plunder the fertile land. They had invaded the Windy Nation from the south.
"Xiang Lingfeng had sent three hundred thousand soldiers to block the barbarians, but ended up suffering a crushing defeat. His two hundred thousand army was slaughtered to death by the enemy, and then he sent another three hundred thousand troops to defend the barbarians together with his two hundred thousand men and horses."
"The allied forces and the barbarians fought fiercely for three days, and were once again defeated. The barbarian army was unstoppable. They had seized the twelve counties of Northeast China, and half of the country of Feng Yun was in danger!"
Xiang Ling, who was then the Northwest King, had no choice but to personally lead the Snow Wolf Cavalry army to the east from the northwest. He took over the remnants of the allied army and engaged in a fierce battle with the barbarian army on the Scarlet Cloud Prairie!In the final battle, both sides launched their most violent a.s.sault. Tens of thousands of men charged together, and in the end, the Snow Wolf rode the Snow Wolf. In the end, Xiang Tian relied on his severe injuries to slay the Barbarian King "Fu Tiexin", defeating the barbarian army!
The Snow Wolf Cavalry had chased into the border of the barbarians. They had destroyed tens of thousands of barbarian soldiers. Therefore, the barbarian emperor had announced that they would retreat.
In this battle, Xiang Tian was conferred the t.i.tle of the number one Nine-Jeweled Prince of the Wind Cloud Nation, and was also appointed as the Northern Field Marshal.
In the ten years that pa.s.sed without incident, your father never stepped half a step northwest of the country of Wind Cloud, and acted accordingly!
However, ten years after the barbarian invasion in the north, the Subordinate Country of the Windcloud Nation, the Da Chu Kingdom, had rebelled against the other nine nations.
Ten countries led a million allied armies to besiege Storm Nation. Wind Cloud Nation"s smoke rose in all directions, and Xiang Lingfeng Sect"s old marshal Wan Bing suppressed them. Unfortunately, the alliance army was powerful, so the suppressing army was defeated in a row!
After that, the ten countries joined forces and quickly invaded the heart of the Wind Cloud Country, endangering Dragon City!
In the end, the imperial court issued a decree that your father was appointed to defeat the army
They were ordered to lead the Western Lion Steel Cavalry and Snow Wolf Cavalry out of Silver City in the midst of danger. Within three months, they had defeated the allied armies of the ten countries.
From then on, Xiang Tian was known as the "Blood Butcher". After the battle, he was conferred the t.i.tle of "King shoulder to shoulder" in the State of Feng Yun, and was revered by the citizens of the State of Feng Yun as the G.o.d of war.
"Two times sending troops and two times being at the head of a nation, if Xiang Lingtian has the intention to take over the world, who in the Northwest Continent can contend against him?" Yet he chose to sit on this throne that is shoulder-to-shoulder, under the t.i.tle of War G.o.d, and serve your royal uncle! ""Now that things have progressed to this point, it"s already hard for Xiang Tian to back down. He could only choose to shake the world, making it so that no other country would ever dare to invade Wind Cloud Country"s territory. At the same time, he has to protect you three brothers in secret.
After Xiang Yun heard this, he was stunned for a moment, but it was only for a split-second.
"Hehe, what a brave guardian of a warG.o.d, sacrificing the ego to become the greater self. For the country, he doesn"t care about his own son at all."
"Throwing it to the side and asking another expert to protect it in secret, that"s why he thinks he has done his father"s duty. Killing two birds with one stone is really convenient!"
At this moment, Xiang Yun was no longer arguing for himself, but for that pitiful son of his, Xiang Yun, who had already lost his soul to schemes and plots.
Old Liang furrowed his brows as he stared at Xiang Yun. He wanted to say something, but he hesitated. In the end, he could only helplessly sigh!
Amongst you three brothers, you"re the most like your father, you have a stubborn temper. Forget it, this old man is also involved in your family"s affairs.
"Yes, go ahead."
"Your father wants you to partic.i.p.ate in the Grand Examination in two months!"
"What!" This time, Xiang Yun really did reveal a shocked expression."Shouldn"t he want me to keep a low profile?" Xiang Tian"s three sons, Xiang Jinglei and Xiang Jinghong, were all cultivation geniuses. Only Xiang Yun was a well-known trash in the Empire of Feng Yun.
If he showed up again, wouldn"t it make him even more famous?The old man smiled evilly, "Are you worried that you will attract too much attention? Hehe, you don"t have to worry so much, because you"re born to attract too much attention!"
"Huh?" Xiang Yun was somewhat of a monk, unable to make heads or tails of the situation as he looked at Old Liang with a puzzled expression.Old Liang was addicted to alcohol again. He drank a mouthful and said, "Hehe, although your talent is the worst, and you look like you won"t be noticed by others, you are actually the most dangerous out of the three brothers."
"Why?"
"Your grandfather is to be blamed for this. When you were still in your mother"s womb, I gave you the name Xiang Yun!" Back then, when he had named Xiang Lingfeng, he had once said that Xiang Lingfeng was the next master of the Windy Nation, so he had given the word "Feng" to him. "
"And before you were even born, your grandfather had already given you a name, "Xiang Yun". Do you think your uncle Huang would think too much of it?" Old Liang blinked his eyes, gloating."d.a.m.n, isn"t this a scam!"
Xiang Yun finally knew why he had encountered so many dangers. The name given to him by Emperor Taizu had already cheated him."But if I partic.i.p.ate in the Grand Examination and reveal my current strength, wouldn"t I attract even more hatred?"
Old Liang waved his hand and said, "It"s different. If you pa.s.s the Grand Examination and obtain the Wind Cloud Academy"s quota, then entering the academy would be even safer!"
"But what if I don"t get a spot?" Xiang Yun scratched his head as he heard this.
"Uh, I"ll think of something when the time comes." Old Liang stammered.
"Hmm? Wait a minute, Old Liang, is there something you"re hiding from me? " Xiang Yun suddenly felt that there was something wrong with this old man"s head!
"Cough cough, how could something like that even happen? You brat, you"re just making wild guesses!"
"No, you must be hiding something from me. You never hold a wine gourd with both hands!"
Xiang Yun pointed at Old Liang"s head. The two hands wrapped around the wine gourd as he spoke, using a scrutinizing gaze!
"This …" Old Liang felt a rare sense of guilt, he actually did not dare meet Xiang Yun"s gaze.In the end, under Xiang Yun"s forceful gaze, Old Liang could only speak honestly.
"Ahh, who told an old man like me to lie? Let me be honest with you. Your father was helpless this time so he came up with this plan."
"What do you mean?"
"Your father went to attack two islands in the Southern Sea, you know."
Xiang Yun nodded; he had already heard from Lu Yongchang.
"It only took your father three days to suppress these two arrogant island countries. It was shocking enough, but in the end, he was intercepted by four nameless powerful a.s.sa.s.sins and now he is seriously injured!"
"What!" Xiang Yun felt his heart tremble."Is he alright?"
Old Liang sighed and waved his hand. "Your father eventually killed those four men, but he was also severely injured. He is currently recuperating in seclusion. I don"t know the actual situation, but I do know that he is heavily injured!"
