Daishan County, Jiujiang City.
Jiujiang City was once known as the fourth county of Zhuang Country. After the real fourth county, Yong Chang County, appeared … Jiujiang City was just Jiujiang City.
It was Jiujiang City under the rule of the Daishan County Chief.
The reason for this was because the commander of the Jiujiang Xuan Armor, Duan Li, had been crippled in the Battle of Zhuang Yong.
Although the Zhuang Court had done him a great favor and rewarded him endlessly, he was not even allowed to resign and was forcefully appointed as the commander of the Jiujiang Xuan Armor.
However, everyone knew that this was the final glory.
Although the afterglow of the setting sun was beautiful, it was about to dissipate.
Duan Li no longer had the ability to take charge of the Jiujiang Xuan Armor …
The reason why this situation was maintained was because Duan Li was loyal to the country. He was crippled because of the country. If he was replaced, the people would be disappointed. Secondly, after the Battle of Zhuang Yong, there was no one in Zhuang Country who could replace Duan Li.
The meat that Zhuang Country took from Yong needed time to be digested. The new generation of experts in the country needed time to grow. The experts who came from outside also needed to be confirmed of their loyalty before they could be used.
Therefore, this matter was delayed …
In fact, the current Jiujiang Xuan Armor was managed by five deputy generals, including Du Yehu.
The Daishan County Chief would occasionally come to Jiujiang City to "inspect" it. Everyone knew that he wanted to grasp the intentions of this strong army.
Speaking of which, Du Yehu, who first climbed the Dragon Sealing Pass, had a reputation second only to Duan Li in the Jiujiang Xuan Armor.
On the path of cultivation, not one out of a thousand survived. Even for those who survived, most of them were crippled and lost their future.
Therefore, no one tried this method in the modern world.
However, in the era before the appearance of the Meridian Unlocking Pill, countless ordinary people who could not open their meridians naturally tried to open their Dao meridians with the courage to die …
When the extraordinary cultivators who sacrificed human lives grew up, they had the strength to support the ancient human race.
In today's world, with so many choices, one needed more courage to walk the path of opening their meridians.
Du Yehu walked out and succeeded. Of course, he was even more admirable.
The military focused on killing.
They had experienced an extremely intense Kingdom War, and they had fought at the most intense place.
He had also successfully cleared the fog of ignorance and knocked open the Inner Mansion.
In terms of strength, it was far superior to the current Nine Rivers Profound Armor. Duan Li was already crippled, and the other deputy generals were only at the Inner Mansion Realm.
However, the strength of an Inner Palace Realm cultivator was definitely not enough to control a strong army like the Nine Rivers Profound Armor. Therefore, even with Duan Li's support, the other deputy generals were not convinced.
In short, the current Nine Rivers Profound Armor was roughly like this.
Occasionally, they would move out together when clearing out the beasts in the territory. But in reality, they had already split into five divisions, each doing their own thing. Only when the higher-ups decided on a new commander-in-chief would they be able to regroup.
Du Yehu couldn't care less about these things.
He only wanted to drink and fight. He didn't care about anything else.
Now, there was only one more thing — to visit Duan Li and drink with him.
Although the doctor said that with Duan Li's current state, he couldn't drink anymore. Even when the prime minister came to visit, he strictly forbade Duan Li from drinking anymore — but who cares!
In Duan Li's words, I'm already crippled. I don't have any interest in life. If I'm not allowed to drink, then what's the point of living! I might as well die early and reincarnate early!
And Du Yehu never tried to persuade him, only drinking with him.
"You dog!"
On the table, Duan Li suddenly raised his hand and slapped Du Yehu's messy hair: "I told you to drink with me, not for you to only drink my wine! Two catties of wine, you drank one catty and a half, where am I going to drink my bird? "
Although he didn't have any cultivation, his strength in hitting people was still quite strong.
Du Yehu glanced at him, wiped his hair without feeling any pain. Gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp down another bowl.
This bastard surnamed Duan, in the past, always told him to pay attention to his demeanor, to pay attention to his appearance, to be some Confucian general, always talking about "the style of a famous general". Now that he's crippled, it's interesting. Revealing his true colors, he cursed all day long.
Really interesting!
He, Old Master Du, was open-minded and didn't bother to bicker. Moreover, this wine was indeed quite good. So he let him be.
Duan Li saw his unmoved reaction, and his heart was in turmoil. He cursed: "You'll ruin this little bit of pension sooner or later."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Du Yehu finally reacted: "You're not dead, what pension? That's called bestowing! "
"Bestowing his mother! I exchanged it with my life! "Duan Li suddenly exploded.
His face was red, and it seemed like his eyes were also red: "Just fucking exchanged for this little bit!"
His outburst was a bit inexplicable, but it wasn't sudden.
He was someone who truly had hope of breaking through the mortal lifespan, someone who had the chance to become a god.
He was also someone who was truly loyal to the country, willing to lay down his head and shed his blood.
But he shouldn't have been tricked … …
"Good, good, good." Du Yehu patted his back like he was coaxing a child, casually saying: "Wine and meat pass through the intestines, worries go with it. Come, drink, drink! "
"You fucking only know how to drink! Wineskin, good-for-nothing! "Duan Li fiercely scolded him, lifted his bowl, and poured the wine into his stomach.
He continued to scold: "My Nine Rivers Profound Armor is going to be ruined by you bastards!"
Du Yehu wiped the spittle on his face, and poured him another bowl of wine, continuing to say half-heartedly: "Yes, yes, yes, truly hateful."
He lifted his own bowl: "Come, Old Duan, let's drink another bowl."
Duan Li's face was completely red, and he fiercely glared at him for a while.
Seeing that Du Yehu had already drunk his third bowl, he scolded: "I really don't know how I was blind back then, and still wanted to give you the Nine Rivers Profound Armor!"
He even suddenly had a bit of a sobbing tone: "You used to call me Lord Duan, now you call me Old Duan!"
Du Yehu was truly helpless: "You told me when we were drinking the day before yesterday, that we'll call each other brothers in the future, and that I should call you Big Brother Duan. I said that wasn't good, you said I should call you Old Duan. You forgot so quickly? "
Duan Li swung his hand, stood up, and acted like a drunkard: "Can the words spoken on the table be counted?"
"Okay, okay, it can't be counted. Lord, Lord Duan, this tiger was wrong!"
Du Yehu hurriedly pulled him back to his seat: "I'll apologize to you. Come, I'll drink first as a sign of respect. "
He raised his head, and cleanly downed a bowl.
After gulping it down, he wiped his mouth and said: "I'll drink three bowls in a row as a sign of apology!"
Then he began to pour wine again.
"Stop it for me!" Duan Li slapped the table, and all the wine and dishes on the table flew up: "Do you think I drank too much? You want to take this opportunity to steal my property? Motherf * cker, have you gone crazy from drinking? "
Du Yehu regretfully glanced at the wine jar, and felt that he had more or less accompanied him today, and should go back to sleep … Isn't life just drinking, sleeping, and killing?
Thus he said: "Look at what you're saying. Then let's stop here for today, I'll accompany you next time! "
Finished speaking, he got up, patted his butt, and was about to leave. It could really be said that he came in an unrestrained manner, and left unhurriedly.
When he came, his hands were empty, but when he left, his stomach was full.
"Stop right there!" Duan Li shouted to stop him.
Du Yehu helplessly turned around: "What now?"
After Zhuang Yong's war, Duan Li was always like this, throwing a drunkard's tantrum and throwing a tantrum.
In his early years, he focused on the Nine Rivers Profound Armor, and didn't marry or have children. Now that he was crippled, his temperament changed drastically, and there was no one close to him to take care of him.
No one cared about the general who was now a cripple, so Du Yehu could only reluctantly visit him often.
However, when it came to taking care of people, he was indeed not good at it. He just accompanied him to drink, and at the same time, he could also satisfy his craving for alcohol — no matter what, he was still an official deputy general, and had a bunch of brothers under him. His small amount of salary was all distributed. He could still afford to drink, but it was a little difficult to drink such good wine.
Duan Li stood shakily, and pointed at him: "I can deny what I say when I drink. But you can't. No matter when you say it, you have to admit it! "
Du Yehu scratched his head and said perfunctorily: "Yes, yes, yes."
He took a few steps forward: "Come, Master Duan, let me help you to the bed to rest."
"Stop right there! Don't come over! "Duan Li reeked of alcohol:" I haven't told you what to admit! "
Du Yehu could only stop: "I'll admit everything, okay? Master Duan, you've been drinking for the whole day, and the sky is already dark, you should sleep. "
"Pfft! You should sleep! "Duan Li spat:" I'm very sober! "
If it was someone else, regardless of their status, Tiger Du would have given them a big slap. He, Old Master Du, never spoiled anyone. Only Duan Li …
Ever since he entered the Nine Rivers Profound Armor, he had always taken care of him.
He drank, fought, caused trouble, slept day and night, and often disobeyed military orders on the battlefield due to his murderous intent …
It was Duan Li who had helped him suppress these matters one after another. He had even made an exception and promoted him to Deputy General of the Nine Rivers Profound Armor.
It was not an exaggeration to say that his debt was as heavy as a mountain.
Du Yehu sighed: "Yes, I said something wrong. Please calm down. Do you want me to punish you with another bowl of alcohol? "
What answered him was a military boot: "Scram for me!"
Du Yehu tilted his head and laughed as he walked out.
Scram right now was exactly what he wanted.
"You stop right there!" Duan Li shouted again.
Du Yehu helplessly stopped: "What's wrong, my Master Duan!"
"Speak!" Duan Li suddenly curled his lips, his face full of the smell of alcohol, and had an aggrieved look: "I don't care what I want you to do, you have to promise me!"
The once awe-inspiring Nine Rivers Profound Armor Commander with a bright future had become like this today. Drowning his sorrows in alcohol every day, throwing a tantrum.
It was impossible to say that Du Yehu did not feel uncomfortable when he saw this.
But there were too many things in this world that made people feel uncomfortable, so what could he do!
There was nothing he could do. He would never be able to do anything.
Only drinking, sleeping, and killing.
Only letting the strong alcohol pass through his intestines, hoping to be taken away!
"I promise you." Du Yehu said in a muffled voice.
"You swear!" Duan Li glared at him like a tiger watching its prey.
Du Yehu sighed: "I swear."
Duan Li said again: "You swear!"
"Fine." Du Yehu was extremely helpless: "I swear."
"Say it!" Duan Li seemed to be at odds: "If you don't do it, your whole family will die!"
"Say it, I'll do anything." Du Yehu only thought that he was throwing a tantrum, and coaxed: "If I don't do it, my whole family will die."
In any case, his whole family would have died long ago … …
Duan Li paused for a while, seemed to think, and said: "Add one more. If you don't listen to me and do it, you won't drink for life! "
Du Yehu stared with round eyes: "Old Duan! Aren't you too vicious? "
"Hahaha." Duan Li laughed with his hands on his hips. After laughing, he repeated: "Swear!"
Today's Duan Li had a strange stubbornness.
Not sure if it was because he drank too much, or because he felt too wronged. He could only torment people like this.
Du Yehu said helplessly: "If I don't listen to you and do it, I won't drink for life. Is that enough? Hurry up and sleep! "
"No!" Duan Li waved his hand: "You agreed too readily, no sincerity! I want to change the oath! "
He extended his finger, and circled it in the air for a long time. Finally, as if he suddenly thought of something, he pointed at Du Yehu and said: "Swear, if you don't listen to me and do it, your dead brothers won't be reincarnated!"
Du Yehu's face sank for the first time.
"You're going too far!"
The atmosphere in the room became very heavy.
But Duan Li only stared at him drunkenly, yet stubbornly, as if he had to make him agree.
"Whatever you want me to do, I'll do it for you with my life. Anything is fine, I owe you! But there's no need to say these words. "Du Yehu turned around and walked out:" I hope you're only drunk today! "
"What do I want you to do?" Duan Li suddenly roared behind him: "You're such a thing that doesn't take your life seriously, what's the value of your life! Do I care? "
"Then what do you want me to do?" Du Yehu turned around like a furious lion, and walked in front of Duan Li in a few steps, and grabbed his collar: "Are you wronged? Are you angry? You were tricked into risking your life on the battlefield, risking your life for people to watch a show. In the end, you became a good-for-nothing, yet you didn't dare to say anything. Do you want me to help you take revenge!? "
He let go of Duan Li, and pulled out the military knife at his waist, and walked out with a murderous aura: "I'm going to Xin 'an right now!"
"Fuck you!" Duan Li grabbed his arm from behind, but not only did he not grab it, he was brought down here instead.
Bang bang bang bang.
A chair was crushed, a table was knocked down, and a wine jar was smashed …
Half of the leftover wine and dishes were poured over his head, making him look so miserable.
This was once the top figure in the Zhuang Country's military, the Nine Rivers Profound Armor Commander Duan Li, who was only below Huangfu Duanming!
Du Yehu had already rushed to the door aggressively, but now he had no choice but to stop.
His killing intent was completely gone.
He sheathed his knife, turned around, and peeled off the wine and dishes on Duan Li's head and face, and helped him up.
"I promise you." Du Yehu said in a low voice: "No matter what you want me to do, I promise you. I swear a venomous oath, the most venomous oath. "
He paused for a moment, and said: "In any case, in this world, I have nothing to worry about."
Duan Li looked at him. At this moment, there was no longer any drunkenness in his eyes, and he was no longer drunk. He looked straight at him and said: "Yehu, I don't have a son, and I see you as a son. I've become like this today, hated by everyone, hated by ghosts, and only you are willing to go along with me, coax me, and listen to me! "
This general, who had once used up his last bit of Dao Energy and Qi and blood to chase after his opponent on the battlefield of Zhuang Yong, shook his head, and said very solemnly: "I don't want you to risk your life for me, I want you to risk your life for yourself!"
He growled: "Promise me!"
Maybe because he drank too much wine, Du Yehu felt that his throat was a little dry. He realized that Duan Li might not have been drunk from beginning to end. Tonight's conversation might change everything …
But how could he refuse?
His father was a butcher, and he died very early. The man in front of him, who was weak beyond recognition, had indeed played the role of the missing "father" for a very long time, and had always protected him.
"I promise you." Du Yehu said: "Using my brothers who died in Maplewood City, using their peace after death as an oath, I promise you."
But Duan Li's first words almost caused him to lose his footing.
"Not all of your brothers in Maplewood City are dead!"
"What did you say?" Du Yehu grabbed Duan Li's arms, and stared at him with an incomparably serious gaze: "What did you say?"
Facing such a gaze, Duan Li knew that if he was joking today. Then the friendship between him and Du Yehu would come to an end here.
"Sit down and talk." Duan Li tried to calm him down a little.
Du Yehu let go of his hands.
In that instant, his arms were almost broken. Duan Li swung his arms, and there was nothing to be particular about. He casually found a place to rest his feet, and sat on the ground.
Du Yehu followed suit, and also sat on the ground, his eyes still tightly staring at him.
Duan Li sighed, and said: "Today, someone came to find me, and told me a piece of news. Don't ask me who that person is, I promised to keep it a secret. "
He also paid attention to Du Yehu's expression, and slowly said: "In this Yellow River Meeting, the Inner Mansion Stage participant of the Eastern Region Qi is called … Jiang Wang!"
Du Yehu deeply closed his eyes.
After a long time, he opened them.
"Impossible." He shook his head: "If Old Third didn't die, there's no way he wouldn't contact me."
Although he was denying it, his lips trembled a little.
Duan Li looked at him with some heartache. Looking at this seemingly anxious but actually very pure and simple young man: "If you can think about it, why did I first force you to swear that kind of poison oath before I was willing to tell you the news? You should know that this is true. "
Du Yehu didn't speak for a while.
The fall of the Maplewood City region was already unclear to begin with. The sudden death of the old City Lord, Liu Yian, was also one of the suspicious points.
But in the entire Maplewood City, apart from Dong A, there was no other living person, and no evidence.
He could only believe whatever Dong A said.
Then since Jiang Wang was still alive, why didn't he come to him?
Why did he run all the way to the Eastern Region Qi?
The answer to this question was actually not difficult to guess.
Duan Li continued: "During the Kingdom War last year, Dong A was stabbed to death on the streets of Xin 'an. The person who killed him left behind a piece of jade. It was the jade that Dong A used to wear. Others don't know who that piece of jade belongs to, I think, you should know. "
Yes. Of course Du Yehu knew.
In the letters that Jiang Wang sent to him later, he showed off more than once, saying how highly the Dean valued him, how outstanding his talent was, how he would protect his brothers in the future, and so on.
Although he didn't have time to see with his own eyes what the jade that kid showed off looked like. But there was probably nothing else that could be connected to Dong A.
The wine in Du Yehu's blood was all awake.
But there was a fire burning in his heart.
The wine was all poured on the fire.
It was burning hot, painful … and furious.
"So, so the destruction of Maplewood City was a conspiracy. It was related to Dong A, and it was also related to the Emperor. Therefore, my Third Brother ran to the Eastern Region's Qi Kingdom alone to seek revenge. So he refused to contact me because he was afraid that I would be impulsive and ruin things? "
Du Yehu gritted his teeth as he spoke. As he spoke, he tried to get up.
Duan Li held him down fiercely and said in a stern voice: "Have you forgotten the oath you made???"
Du Yehu was stunned.
His third brother was alive … his third brother was alive and wanted to take revenge alone.
But his eldest brother and fifth brother were no longer here …
He had just made a solemn oath on their peace after death.
He sat there in a daze and lowered his head.
His face was full of whiskers, probably very good at hiding his emotions.
He covered his face with his big, calloused hands.
The veins on the back of his hands bulged, and his body trembled, but he didn't make a sound.
Duan Li was silent for a long time, then patted his shoulder and said: "Dong A once told me something. She said that if the secret of Maplewood City was exposed one day, I would kill you. Now that Jiang Wang appeared at the Yellow River Meeting, it means that this secret can't be hidden. At least in your place, it can't be hidden. With Du Ruhui's ability, he must have destroyed all the clues. The whole world may not believe Jiang Wang, but I think you will. "
Du Yehu slowly calmed down.
But he still didn't raise his head.
His voice full of hatred came out from between his fingers: "What the hell is going on … those hundreds of thousands of people, my brothers … Maplewood City, what the hell is going on?"
"The White Bone Path wants to use hundreds of thousands of people in Maplewood City to refine the White Bone True Pill. The Imperial Court has long known the clues. Zhuang Gaoxian has been hiding in the palace to recuperate. The Zhuang State has been dormant for many years. He needs this White Bone True Pill to recover from his injuries and break through the truth. So, including Du Ruhui, Huangfu Duanming, and Dong A, they acquiesced to the tragedy. That's what happened. "Duan Li said.
Du Yehu removed his hands and raised his head.
Duan Li saw that his eyes were bloodshot, and it looked like they were blood red.
"I want to kill them." Du Yehu gritted his teeth and said: "Old Duan, I must kill them. I want each and every one of them, each and every one of them who participated … cut them to death! "
"But you can't kill them. You can't kill anyone. "Duan Li said calmly and cruelly.
Du Yehu's entire body was trembling. It was extreme hatred: "Even if I die, I will bite off their flesh …"
"Even if you die, you can't harm a single hair on their heads." Duan Li interrupted him.
"You have to live, Tiger. You promised me that you would live." Duan Li said.
This Jiujiang Profound Armor Commander, who was once awe-inspiring and was now a cripple, sighed and said: "The person who sent the message to me must have hoped that you could escape from here. But you can't escape. "
He said: "You can't escape, Du Yehu."
"A Jiang Wang escaped, a Zhu Weiwo escaped. Zhuang Gao Xian, that kind of harsh and merciless person, won't let you escape. From here to Qi, it's too far. You can't escape. "
"There's only one way."
He slowly lowered his head and hugged Du Yehu. Like a father hugging his son.
They were head to head.
"There's only one way …" Duan Li said slowly.
This was the room that was full of crying and making noise today. This was the room that drove away all the attendants, leaving only the two of them to drink.
This room that was scorching, tormenting, and burning with some kind of emotion.
It seemed that at this moment, it finally quieted down.
After a long time …
"What bullshit method!" Du Yehu suddenly said in a painful voice.
But it was immediately suppressed by Duan Li's even sterner voice: "Think about the oath you swore!"
