Chapter 182

More than thirty years ago.

The Great Sui was newly established, and the four seas submitted.

Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jian, conquered the Hexi Corridor, established the Hexi Protectorate, and sent the Hexi Army to guard this place.

But later.

War broke out frequently in the Central Plains.

Everyone was too busy to look after themselves.

Everyone forgot about them.

Time passed, and the years changed.

The Great Sui perished, and dynasties changed.

Now it is the world of the Great Tang.

Everything has changed!

But the only thing that hasn't changed is the obsession in these people's hearts.

Defend the homeland, guard the four directions!

Life is only a few decades long, yet they spent their whole lives in this vast desert.

In countless wars, their brothers fell one after another.

But to defend the majesty of the Han dynasty, they stubbornly used their own lives to endure all of this.

Apart from being moved and respectful, I really don't know what other words to use to describe these old soldiers!

"Sob, sob, sob!"

After hearing their story, Changle was already moved to tears.

Empress Zhangsun and Li Xueyan's eyes were finally filled with tears.

A lonely city ten thousand miles away, soldiers with white hair!

Li Er clenched his fists tightly, his heart filled with excitement, not knowing how to vent it.

They are all good men!

They are all good men!

"Sir, may I ask if you came from the Central Plains?"

"I wonder how the Emperor is now? Is the imperial court well?"

Jiang Huai asked again.

Having guarded here alone for decades, they had long since lost contact with the Central Plains.

News from there had never been transmitted again.

"Your Emperor has already passed away."

"And your Great Sui has also perished long ago."

"The current Central Plains dynasty is called the Great Tang, established by your Emperor's relative, Duke of Tang Li Yuan."

Qin Mu truthfully introduced the situation of the Great Tang to them.

"What!? The Great Sui has actually perished?"

"That old thief Li Yuan is simply outrageous! He actually dared to rebel openly!"

"He is truly a traitor with wolfish ambition! If I could go back, I would definitely fight them to the end!"

Hearing that the Great Sui had been replaced, these loyal soldiers were all filled with righteous indignation.

Li Er, standing to the side, had an expression that was ugly to the extreme.

Harsh!

It was truly too harsh!

"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten."

"It turns out the Great Tang also started by rebelling."

Qin Mu smiled with profound meaning and glanced at Li Er and the others beside him.

Fang Xuanling: "..."

Li Er: "..."

Good kid!

Wishing to kill their way back to the Central Plains.

You are truly vicious!

"May I ask, sir, since it is now the world of the Great Tang, are you a person of the Great Tang?"

After Jiang Huai finished cursing, he finally calmed down.

"Like you, I also cannot stand the actions of the Great Tang rulers, so in a fit of anger, I rebelled against the Great Tang and established my own dynasty, Great Qin!" As soon as Qin Mu finished speaking, there was a burst of cheers and celebration all around.

"Well done! The people of the Li family are all wolfish and ambitious, and everyone should be killed!"

"Yes, well said!"

"Even if we die, we must absolutely not surrender to the Great Tang!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers nodded one after another and gave Qin Mu a thumbs up.

Well done!

Li Er, standing nearby, was trembling with anger.

Good!

Qin Mu, you play well!

What a great move to borrow a knife to kill someone and win people's hearts!

Using me as a live target, and then making them loyal to you.

Now you have become a righteous person acting on behalf of Heaven, while I have become a traitor who usurped the throne!

Li Er's teeth chattered, and he wished he could pounce on Qin Mu and tear him into pieces.

And the feelings he had gradually cultivated with Qin Mu along the way also vanished completely at this moment.

He had already regarded Qin Mu as his arch-enemy.

To the death!

Empress Zhangsun and Fang Xuanling looked at each other, their expressions complex to the extreme.

Sigh!

Truly a pair of enemies!

"My purpose in coming here is to recover the Hexi Corridor and make it the territory of my Great Qin forever."

"I want to restore the glory of the Qin and Han dynasties, I want the world to worship, and I want everyone to understand one thing."

"Those who offend the strong Han will be punished no matter how far away they are!"

"Are you... willing to follow me?"

Qin Mu's passionate words ignited the blood of all the soldiers.

The surroundings were extremely quiet.

Everyone looked at Qin Mu with burning eyes.

A moment later.

"Clatter!"

Everyone knelt on one knee in perfect unison and shouted in unison: "Willing to serve Your Majesty with all our strength until death!"

Crack!

Li Er's palm bones creaked as he gripped them.

Qin Mu!

You have had great luck again!
