Chapter 290
The guard at the door was delighted to see the military commander coming back.
With a large sum of money rewarded by the emperor, Cheng Hui returned to the Guangping Army camp in a very good mood.
The guard at the door greeted the military commander happily when he saw him return. He was even happier when he saw the long convoy behind him and the boxes loaded on the carriages.
Everyone knows that the boss went to the palace. What could be brought back from the palace and brought to the military camp?
It must be various rewards!
Cheng Hui led a large group of people into the military camp, and did not notice that there were several people waiting in the corner outside the gate.
The guard at the door was about to tell him, but when he saw the rewards, he was so excited that he forgot about it. He only remembered it in the evening and hurriedly reported it to Cheng Hui.
"People from the Marquis' Mansion?" Cheng Hui thought for a moment and said, "Don't bother with them. I have nothing to do with the Marquis' Mansion."
Zheng Kai seemed to be hesitant to speak: Although the old marquis is very unkind and tricked them into dying, the military commander will inherit the title in the future. Is it okay to break off relations like this?
Wei Yuanzhou rolled his eyes at the side: Forget it, the military commander sees things more clearly than you. This damn old man sent his son out to die, so what else can't he do?
Rely on him? It's better to hope for something good to happen!
Zheng Kai sighed: "Yes, the old marquis did go too far. But...
Wei Yuanzhou said impatiently: "Don't you know the commander's character? Now that he has made the decision, there is no room for you or me to interfere in this matter. Don't bother yourself."
It has to be said that Wei Yuanzhou sees this matter more clearly than Zheng Kai.
Cheng Hui didn't notice the eye contact between the two.
He did not plan to stay in Fengyu Kingdom for long. When the imperial edict to disband the Guangping Army came down, he would use it as an opportunity to escape.
Previously, he had considered leaving the pills with the disabled soldiers, waiting for them to return home to take them. But then he thought it was not a good idea. These people were returning home in different orders. What if someone discovered this secret and sent someone to rob them?
It would have been better if he had just robbed the pills, but he was afraid that someone would kill him to silence him, which would have been a lack of consideration on his part.
So, he asked Zheng Kai to gather all the disabled soldiers together in a big tent, and then Lin Qingyang distributed a small box to each of them.
"Open the box." Cheng Hui ordered directly.
The soldiers did not suspect anything and opened the box, only to find a thumb-sized pill inside.
Everyone was confused, including Zheng Kai, who looked at Cheng Hui with a bewildered look.
Cheng Hui waved his hand and said, "Eat it, and remember not to tell anyone when you get back."
Zheng Kai: …???
What did you eat? Why didn't you tell anyone... No... Boss, could you please explain yourself a little more clearly?
Zheng Kai had a lot of complaints in his heart but nowhere to vent them, so he could only stuff the pill into his mouth, chew it twice and swallow it.
Well, although they were full of doubts, out of trust in Cheng Hui, these people took all the pills without missing a single one.
Seeing that they had all finished eating, Cheng Hui left with a smile on his face, leaving everyone in the tent confused.
"Ah!" Suddenly someone screamed, followed by cries of pain one after another.
Zheng Kai covered his arm which was in pain and was shocked.
Ever since his arm was broken, he has become accustomed to the pain there and is almost numb to it.
But just now, he suddenly felt something moving in the wound.
In panic, he tore off the gauze on the wound and saw that the wound, which had stopped bleeding, began to bleed again. What was even more surprising was that a large amount of granulation tissue had grown from the wound. These granulations grew very fast. In the blink of an eye, one-fifth of his arm had grown back.
Zheng Kai:!!!
How is this possible!
Not long after Cheng Hui left the tent, he heard endless exclamations coming from behind him, and occasionally a slightly choked laugh.
With a smile on his lips, he strode towards his tent. His ability was limited and he couldn't bring back all the soldiers, but for those who were still alive, he hoped that they could continue to live and live well, instead of living with disabilities and living under the pity of others.
As time passed, the imperial edict to disband the Guangping Army came down.
Cheng Hui took the imperial edict and distributed the various rewards as quickly as possible. Without waiting for the soldiers to feel moved, he sent them away in batches.
Fellow townsmen formed alliances with each other, and he would count the spoils of the fallen soldiers and deliver them personally.
In the past few days, the old marquis has become more and more impatient. He has repeatedly urged him to return home as soon as possible, but Cheng Hui always fooled him with the excuse of being busy with military affairs.
It was also because the old Marquis of Guangping was not welcome in the capital now. After all, it was very unkind of him to let his son die in his place last time. In addition, the emperor intended to disband the Guangping Army, which meant that the old Marquis of Guangping would be a commander without troops in the future. What was a marquis without military power?
It doesn’t matter!
As for the Marquis of Guangping who was destined to fall, those well-informed people simply didn't bother to pay attention to him.
It is precisely because of this that the old Marquis of Guangping had no idea that the Guangping Army was going to be disbanded, and he was still dreaming of taking the opportunity to expand the Guangping Army. He was even extremely dissatisfied with Cheng Hui's repeated refusal to return home.
Of course, all of this was also possible due to the advice of Madam Qi.
Unfortunately, Cheng Hui did not give him this opportunity at all. When the old Guangping Marquis's men went to the Guangping Army camp to find Cheng Hui again, they were dumbfounded.
The entire camp was empty, with no one inside.
They searched inside and out several times, but only found a letter in the military commander's tent, which read: From the old marquis himself.
Finally, I learned from an old farmer who passed by the camp that soldiers had been leaving one after another in the past few days, and the last batch was last night.
They were always stopped outside by the guards at the camp gate, not realizing that the camp had already been deserted...
The group was stunned and could only go back to report with their heads down. As a result, they were scolded by the old marquis.
When they finally left the old marquis' study, they heard a servant's cry not long after they left. They hurried back and saw that the old marquis had fainted, with a letter slowly falling from his hand to the ground.
Tietou bravely leaned over to take a look, and his face suddenly turned pale.
In this letter, Cheng Hui explained everything, including where the unfortunate Cheng Ziyun was buried.
Tietou also clearly realized that he had picked up the wrong person.
Imagining the old marquis's temper, Tietou didn't dare to say anything and quietly slipped away from the study. After returning, he rolled up his things and decisively fled from the Marquis of Guangping's Mansion.
When the old marquis woke up and wanted to look for him, the house was already empty. He could only feel helpless and furious, venting all his anger on Madam Qi.
Cheng Hui had no idea what had happened in the Marquis of Guangping's mansion. He had explained everything, and as for how the old Marquis of Guangping would deal with it, that was his business.
Relying on his good health, he rode his horse at full speed all the way, and in just half a month, he delivered the compensation for hundreds of fallen soldiers to their homes.
During this period, he encountered some cases of people eating up the entire family and bullying orphans and widows, and he helped them to warn those people that these were all military dependents of the Guangping Army and were the heroes who suppressed the demons. Anyone who dared to bully them would not be forgiven.
After handling all the relevant matters, the two left Fengyu Kingdom and came to the desert again, to the place where the entrance to the fairy palace was opened last time.
"Is this really okay?" Cheng Hui asked hesitantly.
Lin Qingyang smiled and said, "It's not a big problem."
Cheng Hui smacked his lips and said, okay, since Qingyang said it’s not a big problem, then even if there is a problem, it should be solved.
"Hmm?" Cheng Huiran listened attentively, then twitched his lips and said to Lin Qingyang, "The boss said he would protect us."
Lin Qingyang's smile faded slightly, and he said calmly: "Whatever the boss says is what it is."
It’s not Lin Qingyang’s fault for being sarcastic. The main reason is that the boss also said last time that he would protect them in the Immortal Palace.
What's the result?
If Cheng Hui hadn't reminded the god of his lover, both of them would have died long ago.
Of course, it is not ruled out that when they are really in danger of their lives, the boss may take action to protect them.
However, both Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang felt that this big guy... was not very reliable, so it would be better not to count on him too much.
This action was also proposed by Lin Qingyang. Cheng Hui had no objection, but he did not expect that the boss would agree with it so much after knowing it.
Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang are both used to carrying all their belongings with them, so even if they are going to explore outside the domain this time, they do not need to carry any supplies.
You know, when the two came to the Forbidden Demon Battlefield, they prepared supplies based on a fifty-year period. Now, less than two years have passed, and the remaining things are still lying safely in their rings.
"What should we do?" Cheng Hui stood on the stone sculpture again. Once upon a time, there was the entrance to the fairy palace below, but now there was no clue.
"The space here was once torn apart. Although it appears to have recovered on the surface, it's actually still very fragile. With just the slightest stimulation, it can open again."
"But this time, the outside is not the fairy palace, but the endless void, right?" Cheng Hui said thoughtfully.
"That's right." Lin Qingyang smiled, "So, we have to be prepared. You must preserve the Void Breath I gave you earlier. Only this breath can keep us alive when we enter the Void."
Cheng Hui nodded, indicating that the aura of the void had been placed properly and kept close to his body, so there would definitely not be any problems.
So, Lin Qingyang made a hand gesture and stuck a talisman emitting strange vibrations in the air.
It's strange, there was just air there, but the talisman could be stuck on it.
Lin Qingyang pulled Cheng Hui back a few steps, and saw the talisman explode with a string of electric light, and then a series of fine cracks suddenly appeared in the air, just like a broken mirror.
Then the debris exploded, revealing a dark passage.
"Let's go!" Lin Qingyang held Cheng Hui's hand tightly and quickly crossed the crack into the void.
Suddenly, everything in front of his eyes went dark, and then a dazzling light exploded. Cheng Hui instinctively closed his eyes.
"grass!"
Cheng Hui: ???
Who am I? Where am I? What happened?
This was the first time in his life that he heard Lin Qingyang swear...
Uh... Come to think of it, could it be that I learned this from him?
Cheng Hui was embarrassed, but he also heard something wrong in Lin Qingyang's tone.
He quickly opened his eyes. The light had dimmed a lot. With the help of the light from the surrounding stars, he finally saw the scene clearly.
Then--
A sharp blade flashed towards him——
Cheng Hui: "Fuck! (A plant!)"
