Chapter 174: The current situation in the northwest!
When Lin Xiao heard this, he fell into silence.
The adoptive father who took him out of the orphanage for adoption had died in battle.
But the brother he had always trusted stabbed him in the back at a critical moment.
So there seemed to be nothing in that place that made Lin Xiao worthy of nostalgia.
However, looking at Yuan Zheng's eyes filled with countless expectations, Lin Xiao couldn't bear to refuse directly.
"Wanqiu protected me for two years, working day and night for me and never complained."
"So, I want to make it up to her. Let's wait until these things are done before talking about anything else."
Lin Xiao thought for a few seconds before replying in a tactful tone.
"Commander, no matter what you want to do, Yuan Zheng will fully support you."
"But, after you have made up for it, madam, you must go back!" m.
Yuan Zheng's tone was extremely firm.
"Nowadays, the border wars are tense, we have lost consecutive battles, and our hearts are at a loss."
"You are needed there! Brothers need you! The entire Dragon Kingdom also needs you!"
"You don't know that many of our brothers died in vain on the battlefield because of wrong command!"
Having said this, Yuan Zheng couldn't help but clench his palms, and his nails dug deeply into his flesh.
As a Predator, they really are not even afraid of death.
For the responsibility on their shoulders and for what they want to protect in their hearts, they are willing to use their blood and life to protect the peace of the Dragon Kingdom.
However, what they fear is dying in vain, unjustly, and inexplicably.
It was clear that the victory could be won, but despite the overwhelming advantage, countless soldiers died on the battlefield due to wrong command.
How could this not make Yuan Zheng angry, and how could it not make those soldiers feel chilled?
Hearing that his former brothers had died countless times in vain, Lin Xiao's palms trembled unconsciously.
He has a calm nature and rarely talks.
But in my heart, I regard the word friendship as extremely important.
Loyalty is as thin as the sky, loyalty to the liver and gallbladder.
Even though he suffered betrayal, he still couldn't let it go.
"Tell me about the current situation of your brothers."
Lin Xiao was silent for a moment, then sighed softly and said.
There are some things that he simply cannot avoid.
Li Yu betrayed him and harmed him, but not everyone is like Li Yu.
There are one hundred thousand personal guards, many of whom are as loyal as Yuan Zheng. Lin Xiao cannot stand by and watch them.
"Yes, Commander."
Yuan Zheng stood up and began to report the situation.
"Back then, you avenged your adoptive father. After you were exhausted in the battle, you were killed by Li Yu."
"Then Li Yu confuses right and wrong, spreads rumors, and with the help of Li's power, he spreads rumors and slanders you."
"My subordinates and some die-hard personal guards tried their best to smuggle you out, but even though we searched for doctors, there was nothing we could do."
"Seeing that the paper can't contain the fire, I can only send you to the Qin family in Jiangcheng temporarily."
After hearing what Yuan Zheng said, Lin Xiao nodded slightly.
Although Yuan Zheng said it very easily, Lin Xiao could also imagine how much effort Yuan Zheng had to save him in the first place, and how many brothers' lives he had to sacrifice.
"I thought it was Mr. Qin who personally requested this engagement, and it was them who requested it from you."
"In addition, Mr. Qin Lixiong has been upright throughout his life. I also think that the Qin family has a very upright family tradition."
"Send you here, the Qin family will take good care of you."
"I didn't expect..."
When Yuan Zheng said this, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and felt extremely regretful.
If he had known this earlier, he would not have let Lin Xiao live with the Qin family no matter what.
"Don't talk about these things anymore."
"Let's talk about what happened after I left."
Lin Xiao didn't care. Over the past two years, he had already become accustomed to the faces of everyone in the Qin family.
Yuan Zheng nodded and continued to report.
Two years ago, Lin Xiao was killed by Li Yu.
Overnight, it was as if the world had evaporated.
Later, the Li family behind Li Yu used countless connections to suppress the matter.
The explanation given to Yuan Zheng and others was that Commander Lin was exhausted both physically and mentally, so he disbanded his troops and returned to the field to rest for a while.
There were not many people who really knew the truth, and those who knew the truth were quickly and secretly dealt with by Li Yu.
Immediately afterwards, Li Yu quickly took over.
He broke up all Lin Xiao's troops and dispersed them into different hands.
Even the 100,000 personal guards were scattered with one hand, and they were not allowed to gather in one place.
Lin Xiao fell, and all of his once capable men and women came to a bad end.
Being deprived of military power is considered the best outcome. Some people did not even save their lives.
Li Yu, on the other hand, promoted all his confidants to important positions.
"However, they have great ambitions, but their capabilities may be limited after all."
"Since Li Yu came to power, we have been defeated in a row for two years, and we have been completely defeated by those who were killed."
"The eight thousand miles of mountains and rivers that you took back at the beginning have now become lost territory again and are controlled by the enemy."
