Chapter 180 An Accidental Success
While eating, the adults were analyzing what had just happened.
Tianbao sat in the corner with his brothers and began to review what had just happened.
"I'm so useless" is written on everyone's forehead.
Sweetie too.
Without space to help her, she would be useless!
Realizing this, Tianbao's face became gloomy.
"We are still young. If we want to improve our skills, we need experience and knowledge. Why rush?" Bai Yu glanced at the kid and comforted him with a playful smile.
Tian Bao frowned and nodded, "I just didn't play enough."
“…”
The four boys tiptoed around the little kid who was lost in thought and went to the adults to listen to gossip. They soon learned a lot of new things from the battle just now.
"There's a mysterious tribe outside Yanxia Pass. They're small in number, and their members are all skilled in creating poisons. Their methods are extremely cruel, using human bodies as furnaces for testing and cultivating their medicines. Every year, the tribe captures children around five or six years old from the outside world and brings them back to be used as medicine men. Those who can't endure die, and those who survive are eventually turned into living puppets, controlled by the flute's music and used as killing tools." Bai Xiaofeng's eyebrows knitted slightly, his eyes thoughtful. "How did these people get into the pass... and why are they coming for us?"
"What do you mean they're coming for us? I think they're coming for Tianbao! That bunch of short-lived bastards!" Thinking of the scene of those people rushing towards Tianbao as soon as they appeared, Du Buqing was still angry. He rolled up his sleeves and shouted angrily, "Tell me where their lair is, and I'll go and destroy their nest!"
The bearded man immediately started to taunt him, "You're not going to be paid for your boasts, aren't you ashamed? Those guys' skills were enough to make you scream and curse, and you still think you can raid their lair!"
Du Buqin slapped his thigh, "Yeah, aren't they medicine men? How come their fists and feet are so powerful?"
This reaction was like a punch on cotton for the bearded man, and in the end he felt frustrated.
Broken Blade's eyes darkened. "Those who attacked us today might actually be medicine men. After being captured and hearing the flute sound, they all blew themselves up without hesitation, without even a shred of hesitation. At first glance, they looked like fearless warriors, but after hearing what Bailouzhu said, I remembered. When you fought them, did you notice that their eyes were lifeless, devoid of any living energy?"
The bearded man and Du Buqin were stunned for a moment, their eyes subconsciously meeting, and then they immediately looked away with disgust, "Don't mention it, it really is true."
Bai Xiaofeng ignored the two and continued his analysis, "They came in quite a few numbers. It's incredible that such a group could sneak into the interior of the country and appear in the major cities around Changjing."
This time, the bearded man kept up with the pace. "What's even more incredible is that the dog emperor is secretly setting up obstacles to catch us. The news from Changjing says that the arrest warrant has been withdrawn, but I'm sure that the city gates of various prefectures are still under martial law, and it may be even stricter than before! Didn't we get repeatedly checked several times when we came here this time?"
Fortunately, he was reliable and could not find any flaws in the pass he made for these bastards nearby, otherwise this group would not even be able to enter the city gate.
Du Buqin refused to give in, "The dog emperor must have known that his men were useless and couldn't catch masters like us, so he called for reinforcements!"
As soon as he finished speaking, seven pairs of eyes fell on his face.
The old man leaned back and tilted his neck back, "Why are you all looking at me?"
"Old man, maybe you are right." Duan Dao suppressed his laughter.
The bearded man snorted coldly, "It's an unexpected success."
Bai Xiaofeng sneered and looked at Duan Dao, "It seems that you can return to Changjing with a legitimate reason."
Another seven pairs of eyes fell on Duan Dao's face.
Broken knife, "..."
Before he could say anything, several of the guys had already started making excuses for him.
Su An, "The hatred of exterminating a family is irreconcilable! Uncle Broken Knife should go back and settle the score with the Dog Emperor!"
Su Wen, "What's more, the dog emperor insisted on making a mistake. He knew that he had wronged the loyal and honest people and still wanted to kill them to silence them! He should be found!"
Su Wu, "You can't defeat the enemy yourself, yet you invite them to help you. How shameless! You deserve a lesson!"
Bai Yu said, "It's very possible that he's the mastermind behind the murder of loyal officials, hiding in the shadows and doing all sorts of filthy things! We must tear off his sanctimonious mask and expose his crimes to the world!"
Tianbao ran over and patted his chest, "Take me there!"
The adults looked at these kids and started laughing after a while.
Laugh heartily.
Even the bearded man couldn't help but turn his face away with smile lines appearing at the corners of his eyes.
Du Buwei patted the kids' heads one by one and said, "Not bad! You need to use your brain more and more to make it more flexible. This trip was not in vain!"
"According to the plan we mentioned before, we will conceal our identities and act separately." After laughing, Duan Dao turned serious. "Emperor Hongde has been on the throne for many years, and there are too many unknown secrets hidden behind him. It will take more than a short time to uncover those secrets. It just so happens that I have other things to do in the capital, so this time I will return to Changjing alone to conduct a secret investigation. Lord Bai, I will rely on you to pass on information to me during this period."
He did have a grudge against his entire family.
The reason why he fled to the place of exile and drank all day long was, firstly, that he was disheartened, and secondly, that he was filled with hatred and did not dare to die. If he died hastily, he would be ashamed to face his ancestors in the underworld.
It's just that the fire was only truly ignited today.
Because he has more like-minded friends and more helpers willing to support him.
Many people who mention Major General Yuan say that he is a hero and a man of integrity.
No one knows the despair and powerlessness hidden deep in his heart when he lives alone and drifts with the tide.
How could he defeat the entire dynasty alone?
Unable to do it, and unwilling to die, he gave up and wasted many years in a daze.
There was a hint of moisture in Duan Dao's eyes. He looked around, his gaze sweeping across the faces of the people in front of him one by one, and a word of thank you was between his lips.
Not stated.
The old man punched him in the chest, and Bai Xiaofeng also hit him in the chest with the back of his hand.
There was also a big beard, whose eyes were not eyes but the beard was sticking up to the sky. He seemed unwilling and hit him hard on the shoulder.
The corners of Duan Dao's lips curled up, and the moisture in his eyes subsided.
It's tacitly understood.
They all knew what he was trying to say, and they didn't need to.
And these children around him... The smile on Duan Dao's lips grew wider, and finally the laughter burst out of his mouth, full of heroic spirit.
There was thick fog and danger ahead, but he had no more worries.
Even if I cannot survive this time, I will have no fear and no regrets.
The children will take his place and walk the unfinished journey to the end!
They are the continuation of Yuan Yao!
The cargo ship docked at the nearest pier, in Liangzhou, three cities away from Changjing.
When they parted again, Duan Dao didn't let everyone see him off the boat.
Wearing a long gown with wide sleeves and a square and upright face, Duan Dao transformed himself into a small businessman going to Beijing to do business.
"Tianbao, you are naturally strong and have mastered Kung Fu. It's time to change weapons." Before leaving the cabin, Duan Dao handed over the Moon Drinking Knife that he always carried with him. "It's not convenient for me to carry a knife when I go to Changjing, so I'll give it to you."
Tian Bao solemnly took it and hugged the half-broken Moon Drinking Sword tightly in his arms, "Uncle Broken Sword, I will protect it well!"
The smile in the man's eyes disappeared.
He hoped that the Moon-Drinking Sword would shine even more brightly in her hands.
