He Chunhua smiled and said: "You are a lucky general, and dad still relies on you."
"In the past year and a half without me, you have been promoted step by step." He Lingchuan smiled back, "You yourself are a blessed person."
He Chunhua's smile faded slightly: "Why are you so afraid? Chuan'er, don't you want to go back?"
Go back? "Go back to where?"
Is He Chunhua referring to the ruins of Panlong? He Lingchuan pondered these two words. Why did He Chunhua say that he did not want to "go back"?
"Let's go, my father needs you." He Chunhua's voice was soft, but he winked at Zhao Qinghe.
Zhao Qinghe waved his hand, and more than forty people stepped forward to surround He Lingchuan.
But Qiu Hu had been paying attention to the movement here, and when he saw it, he rushed into the crowd with his companions, protecting He Lingchuan in the middle.
The situation on both sides became tense immediately.
Qiu Hu said coldly: "What do you want to do to the special envoy?"
The word "special envoy" is intended to remind He Chunhua that the boy in front of him is not only his eldest son, but also the supervisory envoy sent by Rongshan!
Persecuting He Lingchuan is jeopardizing the relationship between Ronshan and Yuan Kingdom!
The Yuan Kingdom is still borrowing money to fight the war. If Rongshan pulls out the firewood, what chance does the former have of winning?
"Chuan'er, Dayuan has been fighting for several years, and the people have been displaced." He Chunhua said with a sincere face, "Now there is a chance to end the war, how about you lend a helping hand to my father?"
If you don't go by yourself, will you be ashamed of Dayuan? He Lingchuan said slowly: "Okay, but I have a condition."
It would be nice to go. He Chunhua felt slightly relieved: "You say."
"I want to know everything about Lu Xiaoyun."
As soon as the words "Lu Xiaoyun" came out, He Chunhua's cheek muscles jumped twice.
He lost his voice and said: "You, how did you know..."
The eldest son's words caught him off guard, and the most secret corner of his heart was torn open at once.
"How do you know she is my biological mother and not Mrs. Ying?" He Lingchuan interrupted, "Dad, there is no airtight wall in the world!"
He Chunhua was confused for a moment.
The eldest son's temperament changed drastically after he returned. Could it have something to do with this?
He glanced at the Chipa Plateau in the distance, and the warm wind blowing against his face calmed him down.
We have come this far, and the arrow is on the string, so why should we stop moving forward?
"Okay." He said quickly, "It's all old news. If you want to hear it, I'll tell you."
After saying that, he turned around and walked to the big rock by the water first to sit down.
Only He Lingchuan followed, and everyone else took a few steps back obediently to give the father and son space to talk.
He Chunhua put his hands on his knees and looked at his eldest son: "What do you want to know?"
"How do you recognize her?"
He Chunhua took a long breath.
"At that time, Blackwater City was still under the rule of the Anton people. I killed the compradors they supported in the city and fled into the Panlong Desert to avoid the pursuers. As a result, the wild sand season came early that year, and while fending off the pursuers, I almost died.
Killed me." He slowly recalled the past, "When I woke up again, I was lying in the Lu family's house - it was Lu Xiaoyun who dragged me out of the edge of the desert before the wind and sand came."
"In those days, there was the sound of wind and sand outside the house, and no one could get out, so she treated my injuries." He Chunhua pressed his forehead and said, "She was very good. I already knew Hong Chan at that time, but still, still...
"
He Lingchuan knew what he meant by what he didn't finish.
At that time, He Chunhua was only fifteen years old. He was just a young man with the beginning of love, and he was not as mature as he is now.
When young people are ignorant, they are always impulsive and reckless.
"We only got along for a few days, and I sneaked back to Blackwater City to gather people to expel the Anton people." He Chunhua continued, "After regaining Blackwater City, the governor of Jinzhou not only did not award me a reward, but instead threw me into prison.
I was imprisoned for nine months. When I was released from prison, she was in labor."
He sighed deeply: "It's a pity that she didn't pass this test and only left you to me."
The father and son looked at each other in silence.
He Lingchuan felt a little impulse in his heart and wanted to ask him why he used his son to reward the gods.
But these words must not be asked out of his mouth, and he also knew that this was not his own wish, but the original impulse.
"What is she from?"
"Bailie people." Since the eldest son already knew, He Chunhua simply stopped covering up, "She comes from a very ancient cultivating family in the east. Chuan'er, the immortal sects in ancient times, some existed in the form of sects, and some were passed down by aristocratic families.
, maintained by blood ties.”
He Lingchuan nodded, he knew this.
He had read relevant records in Panlong World. In the era of abundant spiritual energy, there were not many people who became immortals in the form of a family. The internal structure of the family was actually more complicated than that of ordinary immortal sects. The status was determined by the level of cultivation first, and then the status was determined by the level of cultivation.
Blood relationship and seniority.
Everyone is related, so there is more emphasis on internal relationships and resource allocation.
After going too far, He Lingchuan returned his attention to his eyes: "So my mother comes from a famous family?"
"Yes. The Lu family's territory is named after 'Bailie'. It was very vast in the Immortal Era, but gradually shrunk after natural disasters. This coincided with the decline of the Lu family."
He Lingchuan didn't find it strange. Spiritual energy began to decline in the early Middle Ages, and the original Immortal Sect's life became increasingly difficult.
The inevitable encounter of the Lu family is just a microcosm of the tide of the times.
"Until more than 600 years ago, the Bailie area was also occupied by Bega. The Lu family had to move to a small territory in the east and continue to live today."
He Lingchuan was surprised: "Huh? Occupied by Bega?"
Why is the Northern Demon Kingdom involved again?
"Yes, the Shanyu Kingdom, one of the thirteen vassal demon kingdoms, is basically the former Bailie territory." He Chunhua shook his head, "The vast territory of the Bejia Kingdom was previously snatched from other countries and Taoist sects.
"
Shanyu Kingdom? He Lingchuan thought for a while and found that it was basically on the easternmost side of Bejia. "Where did the Bailie people move?"
"Most of the Bailie people stayed and accepted the rule of Bejia; some of them moved eastward with the Lu family, and finally settled in Donghuayuan, which is adjacent to the east of Mou State. Your mother told me that a long time ago, Donghua
It was originally land that the Lu family bought from a certain country, but I didn't expect it to become the last stronghold of the Bailie people."
He Lingchuan sketched the map location in his mind: "In the rear of Mou State?"
"It can be said that." He Chunhua corrected, "Between Donghuayuan and Bejia, in addition to the two small countries that are at war, there is also a huge Mou State. The Bailie people should be scared by Bejia.
I don’t want to have any contact with it anymore.”
If you can't beat him, why can't you hide? The Bailie people hid behind Mou Guo.
He Lingchuan is even more special about Lenovo Mou State:
It is the country with the most Taoist sects, and may be more tolerant of descendants of immortals like the Bailie people.
"Deer...why did my mother come all the way to Heishui City?" Between Donghuayuan and Heishui City, there are Mou State, two small countries, Bejia and most of the Kite State. It takes more than thousands of mountains and rivers.
to describe.
He Chunhua sighed: "She escaped."
"The direct line of the Lu family is declining, and its territory is shrinking rapidly. After several generations of single inheritance, your grandfather's generation has only one daughter left, Lu Xiaoyun. But her parents died when she was twelve years old, and the cousin of the branch coveted her.
The property of their Lao Lu family, Lu Xiaoyun had nothing to rely on, so she had no choice but to escape from Bailie."
He Lingchuan frowned: "Cousin?"
"Yes, your mother is from the head of the family and has a higher seniority. When she was twelve years old, her cousin Lu Zhensheng was already twenty-seven. He was young, powerful and ambitious." He Chunhua said, "She even suspected that your grandfather was Lu Zhensheng.
She was killed. She saw the opportunity and ran away, otherwise she would have died."
He Lingchuan sneered: "Oh, it's a shame."
Lu Xiaoyun is a girl. She is young and weak and cannot protect herself. No one in the clan can uphold justice. However, she still has a family property in her name. Isn't this the best explanation for the crime of harboring a treasure?
In the face of money, some relatives will turn into evil wolves.
He Lingchuan took out a contract left to him by Sun Hongye and unfolded it in front of He Chunhua: "Is this contract true and valid?"
He Chunhua glanced twice and said with emotion: "It turns out that Sun Hongye found this thing. This is one of Lu Xiaoyun's relics. The Qing Kingdom rented Blade Port from the Bailie people decades ago for a period of forty years.
.After all, it has expired now.”
He Lingchuan asked casually: "Who does this port belong to now?"
"That's not clear." He Chunhua didn't care about this. "Things in foreign lands are too far away from us. But since the Bailie people have declined, it may not be so easy to return to this port. Blade Port is a natural harbor."
Having said this, He Chunhua pointed into the distance, "Now it seems that there may be a second reason for your mother to travel across the ocean, and that's it. Whoever masters the big square pot has the power of revenge."
Blackwater City is a place on the border of a weak country. If there is any attraction for the descendants of immortals, it is probably because it is adjacent to the Panlong Desert?
"So -" He Chunhua mobilized his eldest son again, "Chuan'er, you really should go to the Panlong ruins again."
He was so moved with "emotion" that He Lingchuan himself felt a little angry boiling in his chest.
This dad will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal!
He nodded slowly: "Dad is right, and it seems reasonable that I should go there."
He Chunhua was overjoyed, and just as he was about to answer, He Lingchuan continued: "Give me something from my mother, and let me keep it as a souvenir?"
This request is reasonable and reasonable. He Chunhua thought for a while and took off a jade pendant from his waist: "This is the jade pendant inherited from the Lu family. It was given to Xiaoyun by your grandfather; she left it to you when you were born."
This is a piece of fine mutton-fat white jade, with the word "deer" engraved on it and a little red mark like blood in the middle.
The jade pendant felt warm and moist, and He Lingchuan sneered secretly. Why didn't He Chunhua take out the things his biological mother left for him?
Isn't it just selfishness?
He gently rubbed the jade pendant and asked again: "Is the Lu family still in Donghuayuan?"
"That's right? Your mother said that it's a beautiful place with beautiful mountains and rivers." He Chunhua was puzzled, "Why?"
"Nothing." He Lingchuan put away the jade pendant, "By the way, my original name is He Xiao. Who gave me this name?"
