Less than twenty years old...
Faced with Lian Teng's slightly teasing question, Ye Liang was not angry at all, but became thoughtful.
Then he smiled.
"When I was his age, I was just a nobody in the [Emperor]."
Lian Teng suddenly discovered that Ye Liang's eyes seemed to have become much clearer.
Ye Liang leaned back in his chair, lit a cigarette, and sighed.
“At that time, I seemed to have nothing.”
“It seems like there’s everything.”
A memory slowly emerged from Ye Liang's mind and gradually became clear.
"A Liang!"
An eighteen-year-old girl stood at the door of Ye Liang's house.
Ye Liang was born in Santong Cooperation Zone.
The name of the Sandong Cooperation Zone was changed recently.
Because the commander-in-chief of [Huang Zhou], Li Jiushan, appointed two of his students as commanders.
These two young commanders are named Su Wanjun and Lin Hai.
The two named their teams [Dark Su] and [Owl Nest] respectively.
At this point, a situation of three leaders jointly governing the area was formed, and this place was also renamed the Three-Union Cooperation Zone.
Ye Liang's parents are both indigenous people of the Santong Cooperation Zone and live a very ordinary life.
Due to the existence of the [Top Wall], almost everyone living here knows that outside this wall, there is a group of terrifying beasts.
Almost every day, they could hear the roars outside that did not belong to humans.
Fortunately, on the human side, we have Li Jiushan.
To be precise, there is the Li family.
Those strange beasts have never been able to enter the [Top Wall] alive.
Compared to his parents, young Ye Liang does not want to live an ordinary and lifeless life in the district.
Every time I see the soldiers of [Huang Zhou] returning from outside [Tongding Wall] after winning a battle...
Ye Liang felt a fire burning in his heart.
He also wants to be a part of it.
He wanted the name Ye Liang to become more famous.
He didn't want to be among the crowd welcoming the hero.
He wanted to...
Stand among the heroes.
Before he was ten years old, Ye Liang often waved his own hatchet around.
In his words, this is practicing sword skills.
After ten years of unremitting efforts, Ye Liang really made some progress.
At the age of nineteen, Ye Liang finally couldn't suppress the restlessness in his heart and chose to join [Huang Zhou].
The selection criteria for [Huang Zhou] are not very high.
Being young and strong, and knowing some fighting skills, that's all.
Ye Liang was selected easily.
On the eve of the expedition, a girl came to Ye Liang's door.
"Xiao Rui..."
The girl in front of the door was not wearing fancy clothes, but they were clean and tidy.
When Ye Liang saw the girl, his eyes were obviously complicated.
"I heard that you are going to the battle tomorrow?"
The girl named Xiaorui asked in a low voice, both her tone and eyes revealing her undisguised worry.
Ye Liang hesitated for a moment, but nodded heavily: "Yes!"
"Will there be... danger?"
Xiaorui's eyes were a little red.
Although Ye Liang was nervous, he still said calmly, "There is definitely danger! But since you have joined [Huang Zhou], you must take it as your responsibility to protect the lower city! Personal life and death are not worth worrying about!"
Xiao Rui lowered her head.
Ye Liang knew what she was thinking.
but……
"Xiao Rui, when I have accomplished something, I will come back and marry you!"
Ye Liang took Xiao Rui's hands and said, "I will buy you nice clothes, I will let you eat fine food every day, I will buy you a big house, and then..."
"Ye Liang, can you... not go?"
Xiao Rui interrupted Ye Liang's vision of the future.
Ye Liang was stunned.
Xiaorui's tears fell down.
"I'm worried about you."
Ye Liang remained silent.
Xiaorui was a little excited.
"Ye Liang, I don't need you to achieve great things, nor do I need a big house! I just want... to live a peaceful and stable life with you!"
"They all say that the beasts outside are more powerful than those in this area! Once you leave the [Top Wall], your life is no longer your own!"
"All those heroes you saw made it back alive! But how many died out there?"
"We are just ordinary people, as long as we live in peace and safety, that's enough!"
"Isn't being alive...better than anything else?"
Xiao Rui pulled Ye Liang's arm and begged, "Please don't go, okay?"
Ye Liang looked at Xiao Rui.
For a moment, he really wanted to back out.
On the one hand, it was because of Xiaorui's retention.
On the other hand, he was indeed scared.
Of course he knew that it was very dangerous outside the [Top Wall].
He also had trouble sleeping on the eve of the expedition.
But……
"I will definitely come back alive."
Ye Liang took Xiao Rui's hand and said seriously, "Wait for me, okay?"
Xiao Rui could feel Ye Liang's determination.
She knew that once this boy decided to do something, he would not achieve his goal...
I will never give up.
Even if you try hard to keep it, nothing will change.
She knelt weakly on the ground, rubbed her face with her hands, and sobbed.
Ye Liang was also at a loss. He could only squat in front of her, hug her, and let her cry in his arms.
I don’t know how long it took, but Xiaorui left.
Looking at Xiaorui's lonely back, Ye Liang did not try to keep her, but clenched his fists.
