Chapter 1226

"Surrender to Pixia?" Boss Situ He sneered, "They are too hateful. Do you know that when Pixia was weak, it received help from Gaopu, and when it was bullied by foreign tribes, the Gaopu nation mediated. But when it grew wings, it hugged the Yao Nation's thigh for the sake of sesame-sized benefits! We disdain to accept the recruitment of such white-eyed wolves!"

"Besides, the Pixia lord has a killing-son hatred with my father; that so-called 'recruitment letter' was written in a high-sounding but awkward way, how could it be sincere!" He added, "Pixia wants to kill me, just to let my father taste the pain of losing a son too."

"Father sent me to contact other tribes, but I was ambushed by Pixia halfway. My team, my people, Pixia killed them all in front of me." Boss Situ He gritted his teeth and sighed, "They used me to threaten my father, expecting my father still wouldn't surrender, so they pushed me to be beheaded tomorrow noon. Hehe, the last meal was very rich, and there was a big duck leg, I ate it all, not a loss at all."

Both laughed.

Speaking of this, he finally remembered his question: "By the way, Brother He, why did you come to the Flash Gold Plain? Your merchant society..."

"After leaving Beijia, I contracted an archipelago opposite Blade Harbor and built a merchant society. This time I also came to Flash Gold to do some business, and happened to see your wanted poster in Ju City; by the way, our merchant society also contracted the Rolling Stone Valley mining area in your territory." He patted his shoulder, "Since we are business partners, we must save you. With this life-saving grace, can't we walk sideways doing business here from now on?"

Both looked at each other and smiled—

Boss Situ He also knew very clearly that his good friend was joking: "It goes without saying, it goes without saying!"

"I admired Brother He's demeanor when I was in Lingxu City." At that time, He Lingchuan was sensational because of the Elixir Case, and was a frequent visitor to Lingxu Taixue, the most dazzling one in the crowd, "But seeing you today, it's as if Brother He is different again."

At that time, He Lingchuan was in the limelight, dashing and unrestrained, quite having the style of 'a thousand gold scattered and returned'.

Today's He Lingchuan, however, is much more introverted and steady. This kind of change is from the inside out, and only old friends like him can feel it.

He Lingchuan smiled: "You are also very different."

Boss Situ He in the past was eager to learn, but out of tune with the surrounding environment, and He Lingchuan always felt he was holding back a breath.

Now he understood where this breath came from.

This kid has also thrown himself into a firm battle.

"The battlefield is the most tempering." Boss Situ He subconsciously clenched his fists, but hit the wound, and loosened it in pain, "I opened my eyes and saw the world in Beijia, and wanted to use everything I knew back in the Flash Gold Plain. But, Brother He, this is really hard. The home country is destroyed, the enemy is vicious, even if we want to stay out of it, it's a daydream!"

"This is called 'the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop'; the Flash Gold Plain hasn't had a moment of peace for many years, do you know the reason?"

"Of course!" Boss Situ He nodded forcefully, squeezing two words from his teeth, "Yao Nation!"

He Lingchuan looked at him: "Oh? How so?"

"I was ignorant before, only knowing that the Flash Gold Plain was turbulent because of accumulated blood feuds, because of resource competition, because we weren't striving; looking at the Yao Nation again, sigh, everyone envies the Yao Nation, it's like a heavenly place in the Flash Gold Plain, the people are happy, the products are abundant, the military is strong, and it can order us around."

"Until I went to Beijia and saw the world outside, I realized how vast the world is and how ridiculous my vision was before!" Boss Situ He subconsciously looked toward the front line, "The Yao Nation we looked up to like a high mountain has been using rain-and-cloud-turning means to stir up the whole continent all along!"

"Their happiness is built on our suffering!" He said hatefully, "Their 190 years of stable rule are built on our disintegration!"

He Lingchuan listened, silent for a long time.

He wasn't surprised by Boss Situ He's answer. But he didn't say much.

After a while, he asked Boss Situ He: "Since you attribute the misfortune of the Flash Gold Plain to the Yao Nation, what do you plan to do next?"

"Now we can't do anything about the Yao Nation either. But—" Boss Situ He pursed his lips, not discouraged, "We can focus on the present and defeat Pixia!"

The Boss Situ family's urgent matter is Pixia's pressing step by step.

Resolving this crisis, the Boss Situ family has the qualifications to talk about 'the future'.

To other outsiders, Boss Situ He wouldn't say a word; but He Lingchuan was his old acquaintance, and just saved him from the Pixia people. Most importantly, He Lingchuan's insight, character, and courage were recognized by many Lingxu students.

A character who dared to investigate the Elixir Case in Beijia, dared to jump directly into the power vortex of Lingxu City, and dared to be fearless when clues pointed directly to the Green Palace—how fair and firm is that? Worthy of sincere friendship!

This is the good fate He Lingchuan sowed by acting justly in Beijia.

Boss Situ He was very moved: "When I first left the Flash Gold Plain for Beijia, my heart was actually confused; although I had a bit of hot blood, I didn't know the future direction."

He Lingchuan asked casually: "What opportunity did you encounter in Beijia?"

In the past, Zhong Shengguang also chose the path he wanted to take after studying in Lingxu City and broadening his horizons.

"The change in the Tiangong!" Boss Situ He's eyes had light, "As strong as the Tiangong, it didn't keep the Star-Plucking Tower; as strong as Lingxu City, it didn't stop the trampling of the Thunder Beast—"

"What else in this world is impossible?" He exhaled to the sky, "Even the strong nation of Beijia can be shaken, why can the mere Yao Nation, the mere Pixia, cover the sky with one hand in the Flash Gold Plain?"

These few sentences were said with great force.

He Lingchuan patted his shoulder and said several 'good' words: "Good man, good brother!"

Only when there is belief in the heart can there be light in the eyes.

He Lingchuan saw the light of hope in his eyes and knew that he practiced what he preached, thinking and doing so.

Boss Situ He's two broken fingers were the seal he stamped on his own enlightenment.

And He Lingchuan didn't realize before that the influence of making a scene in the Tiangong was so deep.

To him, he just broke the Xushan array, snatched the demon immortal's remains, and took away the Qianling Treasure Cover in the Star-Plucking Tower, all of which were pragmatic.

However, what was broken in the eyes of the world was the superstition that Beijia was invincible and unshakable.

That was a thunderclap, and from then on, the seed of 'it turns out it can be like that' was planted in people's hearts.

He Lingchuan remembered a sentence the Naluo Heaven clone once said to him:

Once the human heart becomes active, the world becomes more chaotic, and the entanglement of fate becomes more complex.

Future?

The future will definitely be more lively! &&&&&When He Lingchuan and the others arrived at Yaopo, it was already past noon.

There is a main camp at the front line, and a city behind. This place is much larger than Ju City. He Lingchuan and the others observed carefully and saw that the city walls were built exceptionally thick, the buildings were close together, and the crowd was surging, much more lively than they imagined.

Towns that can maintain prosperity in war, besides big nations like Beijia and Mou, He Lingchuan didn't remember many.

The most typical ones are the capitals of the Yuan Nation and the old Bo Nation, both of which were dragged down by war in terms of commerce and livelihood.

Dong Rui asked the patrol guard directly: "Your Yao City, why are there so many people?"

Isn't this the front line? Unexpectedly, the patrol guard smiled bitterly: "Recently, fierce ghosts are eating people everywhere, and the outside is even more unsafe, so the surrounding people have all poured in."

Every family really has its own difficulties.

On the way to the Boss Situ Mansion, many people greeted Boss Situ He, and he returned the greeting with a smile.

He Lingchuan watched, knowing that the Boss Situ family was quite popular here.

"My family has been stationed in Yaopo for more than ten years. Father said that many children who took candy from his hands when they were young have joined his army after growing up."

He Lingchuan sighed: "In troubled times, it is rare for the military and civilians to be united."

Time reveals the heart, and Panlong City is the same.

Worship may stem from ignorance, but love must be from the heart.

"The Gaopu monarch was once like this too." Boss Situ He sighed softly: "He and my father were close as monarch and minister, with shared beliefs. Unfortunately..."

Unfortunately, the Gaopu nation was still conquered, and the Boss Situ family is still struggling to hold on.

He Lingchuan looked back at the bustling street he had just passed, only feeling that this bit of bustle was like a bubble, looking colorful, but actually precarious, breakable with one finger.

Walking another hundred zhang, the General's Mansion arrived.

This is a large mansion, occupying a lot of land, with high walls and thick doors, capable of hiding at least thirty thousand troops.

He Lingchuan looked up and found that the outer wall of the General's Mansion and the city wall of Yaopo had traces of being heightened.

It seems that the Boss Situ family's defensive preparations have never been relaxed.

Just as they arrived at the gate, someone led a crowd to welcome them out.

This is a man nearly fifty years old, in light armor, with light steps, and his appearance is somewhat similar to Boss Situ He.

This should be the owner of the General's Mansion, the leader of the resistance against Pixia, Boss Situ Yu.

"Master He!" Boss Situ Yu first bowed, "Thank you, Master He, for your trouble for my son yesterday."

He Lingchuan returned the bow: "General Boss Situ, long admired."

The two met in a harmonious atmosphere, and Boss Situ Yu enthusiastically welcomed the two into the mansion to talk.

"It's noon, Master He and Master Wei should have a simple meal here."

"No need to bother, a simple meal is enough."

Although He Lingchuan was very polite, Boss Situ Yu couldn't take his politeness seriously, so the General's Mansion still brought out a table of good dishes to treat the distinguished guests.

He Lingchuan and Dong Rui had eaten all kinds of delicacies, but the General's Mansion banquet was mainly meat and fish, but the taste was adjusted very finely, especially good at using spices, giving ordinary dishes a different flavor.

Not to mention anything else, one of the 'Gold Does Not Change' fragrant meat cubes was stir-fried with the herb 'Gold Does Not Change' (basil) with minced pork, fermented beans, and chili, and then wrapped in tender vegetable leaves.

One bite, full of fragrance.

He Lingchuan recognized at a glance that this 'Gold Does Not Change' was basil leaves, but few people eat it west of the Ya Nation.

Poor places, good things can't be spread out.

Boss Situ Yu first toasted He Lingchuan three times to thank him for saving his beloved son's life.
