The scene is somewhat familiar. It was dim again, and there was a broken candle on the table, Xia Xiao sat in the old place thinking about the problem, and an old man appeared behind the tied door. He was the same as Xia Xiao had seen last time, wearing a hooded black robe, a pair of vicissitudes of old eyes, and swollen and dark eye bags.

This guy always gives Xia Xiao a feeling of bad intentions, but he can do whatever he wants to himself, Xia Xiao is never afraid of hardship, as long as his family is okay.

"You're here to punish me?"

The old man shook his head unexpectedly, although this was within the scope of Xia Wan's analysis, Xia Xiao always felt that they were flood beasts, so it was extremely incredible. But what he was about to say was very mysterious. After Xia Xiao heard this, he reacted for a long time, but he didn't realize what he was saying.

"You did violate the order, according to the imperial army's law, you should be given some warning. The severity of the Imperial Army is the highest among the Seven Kingdoms. But the old man didn't expect the hearts of the generals in the south, and now he is preliminarily sure that they have ghosts, so I won't hold you accountable for the time being. ”

"What the hell?"

"You don't need to know this, I'm here to tell you that I'm not going to make a move. ”

The old man's attitude was very arrogant, if it was an ordinary person, he would definitely endure it, and even carnival, thinking that he had escaped. But the more Xia Xiao thought about it, the more angry he became, he hadn't done anything wrong, so he couldn't let go of taking a step back.

"Old-timer, if you do something unpleasant, I will make you regret it. ”

Xia Xiao's tone was not lacking in respect, and he used "you" even more, but it was more of a threat. The so-called saying the most ferocious words in the most insipid tone is nothing more than that, and the old man did not show weakness, and sighed:

"When you have the ability to reach the sky, it doesn't matter how you speak, but you can't beat me at the moment, so why bother asking for hardship?"

Within a breath, Xia Xiao's body flipped in the air and slammed into the ground, almost spurting out a mouthful of blood. But the old man did not stop his verbal education, and said:

"The academy is a place where miracles are created, and many people have changed into a person when they go in and out, which is enough to be called a real Tianjiao, far beyond ordinary cultivators. All cultivators in the Great Wilderness want to go in and explore a thing or two, but you seize this great opportunity not to return and stay in the mortal world for a long time, how do you think about it? You have created enough advantages, and you have also reflected your own value, go back early!"

"What's the use of going back if my family is gone?"

The old man was about to turn around, but he stopped again, and when he looked at Xia Xiao, even if the latter couldn't summon his vitality, his eyes shot an extraordinary luster, even dazzling and resolute. Under such light, the old man did not have the slightest hint of praise and appreciation, but only endless ridicule, which was directly reflected in his face and eyes, like an old man who saw through everything, talking nonsense to a little kid who didn't understand people.

This kind of gaze again, Xia Xiao was very bored, and only listened to the old man:

"If it's really just a hairy boy, what do you know? If you want to make Great Xia die, Nanshang's one-year plan will definitely not be realized, at least for three years, they will not be able to encroach on all the land of Great Xia. ”

"How do you know?"

"What you see in front of you is only the surface of the Triple Alliance, and there are many soldiers and generals behind it. Although they are just ordinary people who have not been systematically trained, when a nation is truly facing extinction, both men and women, young and old, will become warriors. At that time, the true power of Great Xia will be reflected. ”

"As you can see in this food supply, the mountains of food do not come from the treasury, they are still too far away, they only come from ordinary people's homes. They are well aware that they can only live if this army lives. In the future, in the face of immediate danger, they will do whatever it takes to protect the Holy One. It is precisely because of this strength that Great Xia will not die in three years. And all you have to do is go back to the academy. ”

"I'm measured!"

Xia Xiao's eyes dodged, why didn't he want to go back?

The days of the academy seemed to be an impeccable dream, even if he practiced every day, Xia Xiao was not much tired, but was happy because he had improved his strength. But he couldn't let go of this, there was only one person like him in the world, and no one could imagine the strong desire to longing for and protecting his relatives. But his sentence was measured, so that the old man still felt that he didn't understand anything.

"Even if you bring a poisonous elder, the cultivators on our side are still much worse than Nanshang. They will soon be serious, and then our disadvantages will become bigger and bigger, I advise you to hurry back to the academy and practice for another two years to quickly improve your strength. Now the alliance powerhouse you see is already the limit of our side, but the strength of Nanshang's cultivators has never been fully displayed. After all, what they want to conquer is the entire Great Wilderness, otherwise they would have razed us to the ground at all costs. ”

"The purpose of not revealing your true strength is very simple, Nanshang is afraid that the Goulong Bang clan and the Tianmeng Congress will quickly ally with us, and no one wants to face so many enemies alone. This situation is also the last thing NCB wants to see. Even if they are very strong, they can't swallow the Great Wilderness in one go, let alone launch an army against the Tianmeng Kingdom and the Golong Bang Clan while attacking us. That's why they have been making small fights and letting their guard down. NCB has a lot of opportunities to tolerate mistakes so far, but we don't, we can only act with them, and as the first to bear the brunt, we have no qualifications to relax. ”

"You have always had a dazzling identity, and you do have the potential to become a savior, but the more you do, the more you must be prepared to sacrifice everything......"

"What do you mean?"

Xia Xiao didn't want to lose anything now, he was selfish and greedy, but the urgency of frowning only got the old man's vague answer.

"The more people are at the top of the mountain and the more they walk towards the top of the mountain, the easier it is to ignore and abandon something. This is an immutable law, so let's do it for ourselves!"

The old man was disappointed by Xia Xiao's reaction, the imperial army appeared with Great Xia, and the leaders of the past dynasties secretly guarded everything in Great Xia, and also witnessed a lot. Whether you go to a high-ranking official, or as a high-ranking official, or as an emperor, you will lose something, or reputation, or human life.

The imperial army has never completely put an end to villains and traitors, and they do things for the officials who collect money, and they have no reputation, but they are not necessarily evil officials. Honest officials do not necessarily play a role in the dynasty. They consider a person and an official, and only look at what they have done and what they can do. As long as they don't trespass, they generally don't do it.

is so looming, a few people are afraid of the imperial army, and how many people feel that the imperial army no longer exists, but it is just a lie of the royal family and nobles. But they do exist, existing in every corner of Great Xia, supervising the balance of Great Xia. Once the balance is broken and tilted sharply, it will make up for it, but most of the time it will be silent.

This work is extremely physical and mental, whether it is a member of the imperial army before, or as a leader at this time, the old man is deeply touched. He remembered that before he became the leader, he had carried out a mission, and as long as the investigation was uneventful, he could become the leader of the imperial army.

At that time, it was the *** era, and he saw a child in the dark shade corner of a child, who was as thin as wood, and the vulture who loved carrion on the side waited patiently, hoping that she would die soon. The child was dying before his eyes, and his eyes looked this way, trying to raise his arm like a stick, but he couldn't. Eventually, he died, and became a feast for vultures.

On the way, the old man was moved, entangled, and even watched the vulture eat half of the child's body, but he didn't do it. He knew that someone was watching him, and without the consent of the head of the imperial army, he could not modify the law of development of anything. Therefore, he had to sacrifice his useless sympathy to keep his position as the leader of the imperial army.

That year, the famine town grassland became an examination ground for the members of the imperial army, and thousands of people died because they did not act. However, the imperial army is like this, it is ruthless, after a long period of systematic training, but anyone who really has the name of the imperial army will be difficult to see their families, and they will evaporate from the world, and they do not know where to die.

Everything is sad, except for himself, which emperor of the past did not step on the corpse to ascend the throne? If there is a traitor who seriously disturbs the government, he will be killed! If there is a person who fights for power and profit, he will also be killed! Although the person who turned into a corpse deserves his crime, it is inevitable that some innocent people will be implicated. Those people were appeased, and their grief was stopped by money.

It's the case with everybody, you get something and you're destined to lose something. It is not uncommon for some people to fight against it for a long time, but in the face of the simplest natural growth, they will forget the joy of mud, but the higher they go, some things will never come back. Just like the old man who became the leader of the imperial army and never saw his relatives again, it was also like Ji Yi Even if he was an emperor, there was a huge gap between him and the people who were close to him.

In the blink of an eye, the old man was gone. The door was still tethered, and there was still a cold wind outside the door, but Xia Xiao still didn't listen to what he said. He sat at the table, thoughtful, but still extremely stubborn, and would not go back now.

The college has a rule that even if you leave the college, you can't stay without supervision for more than half a year, especially if you are recuperating. This kind of order is actually quite invalid for students, the academy is such a good place, it is too late to lie there, how can he leave for so long? Before leaving the academy, Xia Xiao had also thought about it, but now the time is almost up.

When Xia Xiao recovers his strength, it is estimated that it will only take less than half a month. He couldn't go back in time, so he was anxiously waiting for the Blood Seal to disappear. Before he left Xiyang, he had to do more.

The wax ran out, Xia Xiao took off his clothes in the faint light of the brazier and went to bed, but he always subconsciously said a sentence in his mind.

"Kill!"

This word was deeply rooted in Xia Xiao's mind, making him rush to the plains outside Xiyang City even in his dreams. The trees on it had long since been knocked down and burned to charcoal. And he stepped over it, holding the cloud in his hand with great speed, and rushed towards the thousands of troops, and woke himself up with a roar.
