Chapter 34 Am I That Orphan?
Wu Ming took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and recalled:
"In an extremely critical situation, the king ordered the Northern Protector Hu Mingyue to resist the demons. The Southern Protector Murong Yufeng and the Eastern Protector Situ Xiao had already been transferred to the western border to fight against the alien beasts. The demons had already crossed the Dark Forest and attacked.
Wuduan Mountain
, adjacent to Mizhi County, the war has even spread to the Holy Mountains, Longquan Mountain and Longji Mountain. If we break through the Luoying City at the pass of Longwei Mountain, we will directly enter the open plains of Zhongzhou Continent and capture the capital city just around the corner. It is really dangerous."
Li Xiaomu felt the crisis of that battle.
Wu Ming fell into memories:
"The king made a prompt decision and sent his second son Li Hongyue to serve as the commander of the resistance against the demons and as the general of the cavalry. Li Hongyue was the most respected by the king. He was known as one of the 'Three Super Geniuses' in the capital at the time. At the age of twenty-nine, he broke through the super
In the third realm, at that time there were only the super-powered troops of the Eastern Protector of Mizhi County and a few of the Southern Protector's super-powered troops, with a number of less than 50,000. However, the Demon Tribe had amassed a large number of troops, numbering 100,000. The two sides started a fierce battle at Wuduan Mountain.
"
"Li Hongyue?" Li Xiaomu thought this name was good. Yue Fei fought against the Jin soldiers. He was a hero who served the country with loyalty. "The third young master of the capital? That's super powerful."
"General Li must be powerful, otherwise how can he convince the crowd?!" Wu Ming nodded: "The demon clan's skills are not inferior to those of super warriors, not to mention the numerical advantage. As a last resort, Li Hongyue temporarily mobilized people from Mizhi County and the capital.
The superpowers formed the second echelon and were able to withstand the large-scale attack of the demons. The two sides formed a tug-of-war on Wuduan Mountain, and both sides suffered heavy casualties."
"How many levels of super power did you have at that time? What was your position?" Li Xiaomu asked curiously.
"At that time, when I first joined the war, I was only in the seventh rank. The battlefield was tough and life-and-death. I broke through very quickly. I soon broke through to the sixth rank. Many people died, and my position was promoted quickly." Wu Ming was immersed in the memories, "However, I was just a person.
Little boss. Neither side was able to defeat their opponents. The king did not send reinforcements because of the tight situation in the west."
"What happened next?" Li Xiaomu asked curiously.
"I was transferred to take care of a woman." Wu Ming blushed slightly, "I was very reluctant at the time because the trenches were short of manpower and had to hold the hilltop. When I saw General Li, I was very depressed and angry, and even asked him directly why he wanted to
A hot-blooded man would do such a thing?"
Young people are all like that... Li Xiaomu knew the master at that time and did not interrupt him.
"The general said to me emotionally: 'I don't know whether I will die or live tomorrow. Someone told me that you are serious. If I can't stay, please take care of my flesh and blood!' I saw the general's expression of feeling as if he was home after death.
The responsibility is so great that I promise the general will fulfill his mission." Wu Ming said with a gentle expression.
Li Xiaomu saw something crystal clear in his master's eyes.
"Only when I went there did I find out that I was taking care of a woman. She was already pregnant. Her belly had swollen and was a bit high." Wu Ming said slowly, watching Li Xiaomu touch the scar on his left eyebrow, which was because he felt insecure.
To show off, he looked a little ashamed, "That woman is indeed as beautiful as a fairy, charming and charming, which makes people unable to look directly at her. I really don't want to do such a thing, because of the previous rumors, I feel it is too embarrassing."
"What rumors?" Li Xiaomu couldn't help asking.
"It is said that when Li Hongyue was inspecting the terrain, he met the woman and fell in love at first sight. And the woman was from the demon clan, a seven-tailed fox! Doesn't this shake the morale of the army?" Wu Ming said with a hint of complaint, "Of course, this
It’s just a rumor, but after all, we are fighting against the demons. There are rumors that the royal family does not recognize this woman, and in order to prevent Li Hongyue from marrying that woman, he did not hesitate to send an assassin to kill the woman.”
"You were selected for personal protection just because of your sincerity?" Li Xiaomu wondered, "Because of your high level of superpower?"
"No, it's more that she is tight-lipped and doesn't like to talk. When I was taking care of the woman, I realized that Li Hongyue and her were really in love. They once met at the northern border of Dasheng Kingdom and fell in love." Wu Ming said,
Clearing her somewhat sad throat, "When I learned that the general was in the fog,
When the Duanshan battle was very dangerous, the woman traveled thousands of miles from the polar ice fields to join the battle. Because she lived in the polar ice fields, which was the territory of the demon clan, she was suspected of being a member of the demon clan. In fact, there were also people in the polar ice fields.
Humans, and people who can coexist peacefully with demons."
"What happened next?" Li Xiaomu asked, as if he had a premonition of tragedy.
"Later, the woman gave birth to the general's flesh and blood. Because the general was fighting and could not protect his wife and children, he was hunted down by the royal family's killers, so the general sent me to protect the mother and son." Wu Ming sighed heavily,
Unable to suppress his grief and regret, he said, "I underestimated the strength and viciousness of the killers. I thought they were members of the royal family after all, and would keep General Li's wife and children, or at most drive them out of Dasheng Kingdom, but they didn't.
Kill them all alive."
Wu Ming sobbed softly: "It's all my fault, the super level is too low! The five killers chased them to the farmer's house where the woman lived. I killed two of the killers. I was outnumbered and almost died. The woman asked me to protect the baby. I and I
The killer fought to the death. When I held the baby and turned to look at her, she fought desperately with the killer, just to buy me the time to escape."
"You escaped, where is she?" Li Xiaomu asked worriedly.
"I don't know. I heard that she died. There are also rumors that she was eventually killed, but escaped and returned to the polar ice fields." Wu Ming let out a long breath, "I always remember her words. She said, 'We must protect the general's flesh and blood.
', Actually, at that time, she already knew that Li Hongyue had died in the battle, how could I dare to let her and General Li down?"
"Later, didn't the royal family look for you and the baby?" Li Xiaomu asked.
"How could it be? I kept my name anonymous, hid in Tibet with my baby, went to the Western Restricted Area, and even went to the polar ice fields to look for the rumored woman." Wu Ming said with deep regret, "I didn't find it, I passed it.
It was seven or eight years after the news passed and I settled down in Mizhi County. In the past ten years or so, I have lived up to the general's trust."
More than ten years?...Li Xiaomu's head turned rapidly, and he understood a lot at once. Unbelievable, he muttered: "No way, I am the orphan?"
Wu Ming nodded slowly, tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes: "In order to develop your super power, no matter how much money you spend, it will mean nothing to the general and that woman? Your father is a hero of the Dasheng Kingdom.
