Chapter 51 Master, you are a master at digging holes.(1/2)
The disciple's doubts were just like Wu Ming's confusion back then, but the anger in his heart had long been relieved.
Wu Ming looked sideways at Li Xiaomu, who was very focused and said with a raised brow:
“I was very reluctant at the time.
"Because the fighting manpower is tight, we must hold the hilltop.
"When I saw the Hussars General, I was very depressed and angry.
"I even asked him directly - why should I take care of a woman?"
Young man, hot-blooded, hot-tempered, understandable...Li Xiaomu knew that the master at that time was considered a fool, so he did not interrupt him.
"The general looked serious, but he actually bowed to me, which made me confused.
"The general said to me: 'I don't know whether I will live or die tomorrow. After inspecting you, I have a very high opinion of you - you are an honest man. If I can't stay, please take care of my relatives.'
"The General Hussars regards death as his own, how can I shirk him?
"I felt the great responsibility and promised the general to fulfill his mission.
"I didn't know that things in the world are far from as simple as you think."
"Uh." Li Xiaomu's head was spinning rapidly, and the last words were nothing short of the master's reflections on his life over the past few decades. It seemed that the mission was not simple.
Wu Ming turned around and saw Li Xiaomu touching the scar on his left eyebrow and swiping it from side to side. He wondered, "Why are you touching that scar again?"
"I'm used to it." Li Xiaomu felt that he touched it subconsciously.
Wu Ming looked at his apprentice's scar and said after thinking:
"Don't you feel safe?
"I remember when you were a child, you couldn't sleep well.
"He always likes to touch my hair, which makes me often have trouble sleeping.
"You touched my hair and I fell asleep peacefully."
Li Xiaomu was surprised: "Why don't I remember this?"
"You were young at that time." Wu Ming had a complicated expression on his face, "If you can't change this habit now, forget it."
"What happened next?" Li Xiaomu put down his left hand that was touching the scar.
Wu Ming thought for a moment and said slowly:
“When I went there, I found out that I was taking care of a woman who had just given birth.
"That woman is indeed as beautiful as a fairy, so charming and charming that no one can look directly at her.
"For such a big and thick man, I really don't want to do this kind of thing of taking care of others.
"The previous rumors made me feel so embarrassed."
"What rumors?" Li Xiaomu was slightly startled and asked curiously.
Wu Ming glanced at his apprentice, hesitated for a moment, and spoke quickly:
"It is said that General Li met a woman while inspecting the terrain and fell in love with her at first sight.
"And that woman is from the demon clan, a seven-tailed fox.
"Doesn't this shake the morale of the army?"
There was complaint and resentment in Wu Ming's tone, and he continued:
"Of course, although this is a rumor.
"But after all, we are fighting against the demons.
"There are also rumors that the royal family has spread rumors and does not recognize this woman.
"Even in order to prevent General Li Hongyue from marrying the seven-tailed fox, the royal family has sent killers."
Are you worried that you will be in trouble?... Li Xiaomu wondered: "Isn't it because you were selected as a bodyguard because of your super powers?"
A breeze blew, Wu Ming cleared his throat and smiled:
"No, he is more of a tight-lipped person and doesn't like to talk.
"When I was taking care of the woman, I realized that General Li and her were truly in love.
"They met at the northern border of Dasheng Kingdom and fell in love.
"When I learned that the general was fighting in Wuduan Mountain, the woman traveled thousands of miles from the polar ice fields to join the battle.
"Because that place is the territory of the demon clan, so she is suspected to be a member of the demon clan.
"In fact, there are also humans in the polar ice sheets, and they are people who can coexist peacefully with the monsters."
"What happened next?" Li Xiaomu asked, seeming to have an ominous premonition.
Wu Ming sighed heavily, seeming to suppress his grief and regret:
"Because the general is fighting bloody battles and cannot protect his wife and children.
"Hearing the rumors, the general expected that even if it was not the king, some people in the royal family would really assassinate his wife and children.
"So the general sent me to protect the mother and son, but few people know about it.
"I still underestimated the killer's strength and viciousness at that time.
"I thought that the general was the king's son after all, and the killer would not kill everyone.
"The most that can be done is to drive General Li's wife and children out of Dasheng Kingdom.
"I didn't know they were so cruel and ruthless that they didn't want to leave anyone alive and wanted to kill them all."
Fortunately, it's not me... Li Xiaomu was shocked.
Wu Ming stared blankly at the rising sun, pressed his nose, and seemed to be sobbing quietly:
"It's all my fault, the super level is too low.
"When the five killers found me and the general's wife and children, I killed two of them. I was outnumbered and almost died.
"The woman asked me to hold the baby and run away while she fought to the death with the killer.
“In desperation, I had to do this.
"When I held the baby and turned around to look at her, she struck a fatal blow just to give me a chance to escape."
"You escaped?" Li Xiaomu saw his master nodding and asked worriedly, "Where is the general's wife?"
Wu Ming took a long breath, like a lump in his chest being exhaled:
"I don't know, I heard later that she died.
"There are rumors that she escaped and returned to the polar ice fields.
“I always remember her words, ‘We must protect the bloodline of the general’.
"Actually, at that time, she already knew that the Hussar General had died, so she fought to the death.
"How dare I let her and General Lee down?"
"Later, the royal family came to look for you, and the baby?" Li Xiaomu asked with a hint of uneasiness.
"How could it be? I concealed my name, took the baby and hid in Tibet, and even 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, and after seven
It took eight years for the news to pass before I settled down in Mizhi County. Over the past ten years, I have lived up to the general's trust."
More than ten years?...With a "boom", Li Xiaomu immediately understood and said in surprise:
"Am I the baby?"
Li Xiaomu had mixed feelings, joy, anger, sorrow, and sorrow, and couldn't figure out a clue.
Wu Ming nodded slowly, tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes:
"In order to develop your superpower, no matter how much money is spent on you, what will it mean to the general and that woman?
"Your father was a hero of the Dasheng Kingdom. He died in battle and sacrificed his life for the country.
"He is still the son of the current king and the most respected person by the king.
"If he doesn't die, his super power will definitely be able to break through the fourth realm.
"He is the heir to the throne, he may be the new king."
My father is Li Hongyue? I am the king's grandson? Everything is so incredible. Master has concealed it very well. Master has said so much just to make me accept the reality?... Li Xiaomu stared blankly
Master:
"Now, is there anyone in the royal family who is chasing me?"
Wu Ming scratched the white hair on his temples, with a worried look on his face:
“The past ten years or so have been calm, but I have been worried.
"After all, there are so many people coveting the throne.
"As we all know, the king is physically strong and does not consider the successor to the throne among his sons, but considers choosing among his grandchildren.
