Only then did everyone understand what was going on.

It's really pitiful for the hearts of parents all over the world, but it doesn't seem appropriate to think so......

Seeing that everyone couldn't hold on to each other, they were all in a hurry, and they took turns to persuade each other. There was only one person standing behind everyone, watching everyone busy with relish, as if it had nothing to do with her.

Xue Zong wasted his tongue for a long time, but Yao Lao just didn't listen. Xue Zongzheng was helpless, and turned his head by chance, and saw Ye Zi covering his mouth and laughing at everyone. Xue Zong knew Ye Zi too well, and since she showed such an expression, it meant that she had an idea again.

Xue Zong separated everyone and walked to Ye Zi's side and said, "My good Ye Zi, my eldest brother knows that you have a lot of methods, hurry up and think of a way to persuade Yao Lao, if you don't get it, you will die." ”

Ye Zi showed an innocent look, and pretended to be surprised and said: "Ah, big brother, this matter is easy to do, you just need to marry that Xiangxiang and it will be solved." ”

"Hehe, I married her, I'm afraid someone should be sad. ”

"Oh, I forgot, the eldest brother is now an Athenian concubine, so naturally he can't marry a folk girl, let me go and tell Yao Lao truthfully, how about her granddaughter not being worthy of the eldest brother?"

"Spare me!" After listening to Ye Zi's dangerous speech, Xue Zong swallowed his saliva.

"Alright, I'll help you again. Ye Zi walked lightly, arrived in front of Xiangxiang, and whispered a few words in her ear.

After hearing this, Xiangxiang stopped crying and said, "Is this really possible?"

"Of course, do as I say. After Ye Zi finished speaking, he smiled slightly and stood aside to watch.

Xiangxiang wiped the tears on her face, straightened her clothes with a serious expression, brushed her messy hair, knelt down in front of Yao Lao's door, and said, "Grandpa, Xiangxiang is not filial, please give you peace." Xiangxiang has no father and mother since she was a child, it was you who brought me up, with hard work for more than ten years, this kindness Xiangxiang is always a cow and a horse, and it is difficult to repay it. ”

Speaking of this, Xiangxiang's nose was sour, and two strings of tears flowed down like broken pearls. She choked up and said: "Grandpa, you are the person who loves me the most in the world, and you are also my only relative. Xiangxiang shouldn't have disobeyed you, but I don't have any love for Brother Xue Zong, so it's really difficult to obey my fate. ”

When Xiangxiang said this, she couldn't cry anymore. Ye Zi was anxious on the side, and reminded Xiangxiang in a low voice: "Xiangxiang, quickly tell Yao Lao your mind, if you don't say it now, you won't have a chance." ”

Xiangxiang nodded, forcibly endured the emotions in her heart, her face flushed, and said: "Grandpa, in fact, the youngest daughter has long made up her mind that she will not marry in this life, even if she is displaced in the future, it will be difficult to change her wish." ”

Lu Zhuang has also liked Xiangxiang for a long time, but his tongue is inconvenient and he doesn't know how to express his heart. Now seeing that Xiangxiang said what she wanted, she was at a loss for a while and was stunned.

Ye Zi shook his head and thought, hey, what a stupid man!

"Hey, Lu Zhuang, don't hurry up and knock on your father-in-law. Ye Zi reminded.

When Lu Zhuang heard this, he and Xiangxiang both knelt on the ground, and said to the door of the house: "Yao Lao, you watched me grow up, I Lu Zhuang has no ability, but I am willing to give everything to take care of Xiangxiang, take care of you, you ...... You see......"

When the words came to his mouth, Lu Zhuang still couldn't speak, holding back the eight-foot-tall man's face flushed, and the corners of his forehead were sweaty.

At this moment, the door of the house "Ziyaya" opened from the inside, Yao Lao walked out with a calm face, looked at the two kneeling on the ground, and said: "Xiangxiang, grandpa is old and useless, you have also grown up, it's time to make up your own mind;

"Yes, yes, that's nature. Lu Zhuang agreed.

"Hurry up and call your father-in-law, Lu Zhuang, the medicine elder has agreed. Ye Zi reminded again.

Lu Zhuang only realized the taste at this time, this may be the most clever time in his life, and he hurriedly administered the medicine and kowtowed, calling him his father-in-law.

"Well, get up, all of you. The medicine elder sighed and helped Xiangxiang and Lu Zhuang.

Zhou Cang saw that this was a great joy, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to rearrange the wine and give the medicine to the old congratulations, and the caravan and the brothers on the mountain were very happy, and the gongs and drums were noisy in celebration, needless to say.

Seeing that the matter had a happy ending, Ye Zi quietly withdrew from the crowd.

She walked alone on the mountain road full of wild flowers, listening to the birdsong in the depths of the jungle, and looking at the majestic Alkan Snow Mountains in the distance, and her heart was both happy and a little melancholy.

Happy because he matched a happy event, Xiangxiang got his own happiness, but when will he get his own happiness? His father Ye Xiao is not as easy to deal with as Yao Lao, what if he doesn't look down on Xue Zong?

"Yezi!" A familiar call came from behind him, it was Xue Zong's voice.

"Yezi, why did you leave without a sound, making it easy for me to find it. ”

"My broom star is not waiting to be seen there, so I don't leave before it's too late. After saying that, Ye playfully stuck out his tongue and walked forward with light steps.

"Don't say that. Xue Zong grabbed Ye Zi's cold and small hand, I don't know if Xue Zong's palms were hot all the way, or if it was originally like this, as if it would break it with a little force.

Gentle and reassuring, intoxicating.

"How long do you want to hold it, stinky rascal!" Ye Zi shook it hard, and punched Xue Zong in the stomach with his other hand, and he came back to his senses.

"I'm sorry, even if I think your hands are smooth, delicate, and slightly fascinating. Xue Zong smiled and said dangerous words.

Ye Zi pursed his lips, his willow eyebrows tightened, and he said angrily: "It's really shameless." ”

On the second day, Xue Zong and Ye Zi packed up and continued to hurry. The caravan followed Xue Zong's advice and decided to reroute to Carthage City to resell some goods, which was not worth the trip, and everyone waved goodbye at the crossroads.

As for Zhou Cang, he wanted to worship Xue Zong as a teacher, and Xue Zong couldn't shirk it, so he proposed to worship Zhou Cang as a brother, and promised to wait until he retrieved the [Dragon Blood Essence] before making plans.

In this way, everything was arranged, and Ye Zi and Xue Zong walked towards the depths of the jungle and set off in the direction of the Algan Snow Mountain.

The closer he got to the Algan Snow Mountain, the more Xue Zong could feel that there was an evil force in his body that was about to move, and the black iron stick (Seagod Trident) on his back became heavier and heavier, as if he was responding to the call of the voice in his heart.

Since the seal was lifted, the spread of black qi in Xue Zong was accelerated, so without further ado, we had to find the [Dragon Blood Essence] quickly.

At the same time, something happened that would go down in the annals of the Black Iron World. In November 577 of the Middle Earth calendar, the Ottoman Empire sent troops to Athens under the order of Suleiman the Magnificent, which is known as the first Athenian offensive and defensive battle.

Suleiman the Great, with Bursa as his military advisor and Dadamir as the vanguard, sent 120,000 troops straight to the Athenian border.

This battle was not the only national battle in Middle-earth in a hundred years, but it was of a terrible nature and far-reaching impact beyond the imagination of Suleiman the Magnificent.

In this dispatch, Suleiman the Magnificent, in the name of Qing Jun's side and the rehabilitation of the Ruda family, claimed that the Athenian princess Amosisis was coerced, and this time the army was sent out of the rescue between friendly neighbors.

In fact, this time to send troops to Athens, it has been planned for a long time. Although the country of Athens is small, it is geographically important, holding the passage to the belly of Middle-earth and an important trade seaport, not only the Ottoman Empire, but also the surrounding South Sea and the Gatth Empire.

The reason why they did not make a move was simply because they were afraid of the oath signed by the [Tribal Alliance]. According to the oath, whoever starts an unrighteous war will be punished by the whole world.

But Suleiman the Magnificent could see that it was already a dead letter.

Dadamir's vanguard troops opened roads and bridges in the mountains and rivers, and on this day they arrived at the Iron Helmet Pass.

The defending troops had already been warned by the enemy's pressure on the border, and the city gates were locked, and the defending generals did not dare to fight.

Dadamir took advantage of the momentum and organized a siege. According to Rudacom, the Athenian army was mostly distributed on the borders, with less than 1,000 defenders in the Iron Helmet Pass, and Dadamir with 20,000 tigers and wolves.

The difference in strength is huge, and it can hardly be regarded as a battle, but a massacre.

However, the Athenian defenders, under the command of Andrei Mokis, put up a heroic resistance and held off the first wave of the Ottoman offensive.

Dadamir was so angry that 20,000 pioneers could not capture a pass with only 1,000 defenders, and if he let the commander know, he would not be allowed to deal with him according to military law.

The staff officers who followed him saw that Dadamir was a little too anxious, which was the number one taboo of soldiers, so he advised him not to hurry, the Ottoman army was coming from a long distance, exhausted, and needed to rest for a few days.

In addition, the staff officer knew that the city was short of supplies and was not ready for war, so he only needed to send a small detachment to attack and harass the defenders, and when the opponent was exhausted, he could capture the city in one fell swoop.

When Dadamir heard this, he made sense, and set up camp three miles from the city.
