Chapter 116: The Guilt of the God of War
"That's the thing, second brother, do you think we want to say hello to the master?" Next to the flower garden, a skinny but extremely tall old man stood there, although the old man was old, his eyes were bright, and his white hair was set up like a steel needle, as if he was angry at any time.
He is the intelligence officer in charge of intelligence in Tangjiabao, and he is the ninth generation of the first generation of the existing Tang family, named Tang Kejin. Like his son Tang Fengli, he has never entered the military, but the Tang family's [Intelligence Group] under his leadership is not inferior to the FBI.
In fact, in addition to the direct line of Tang Kede in the first generation, there are two collateral lines surviving in the world, one is Tang Kejin, who is ranked ninth, and the other is Tang Keyong, who is ranked thirteenth. They are all people who can be absolutely trusted by Tang Kede, so after Tang Jue's consent, Tang Kejin and Tang Keyong also knew about Tang Jue's identity.
Don Kede, who was squatting on the ground with a small flower hoe to loosen the soil, slowly stood up, walked to the wooden table made of tree stumps next to him, picked up a cup of tea and brought it to his mouth, but did not drink it, and looked thoughtfully at the flowers and plants in the garden, not knowing what he was thinking.
Tang Kejin is Tang Kede's cousin, and he is also one of the only two surviving collateral lines of the first generation of fruits, so he is naturally more casual in front of Tang Kede, and said uneasily: "Second brother, I know that the absolute master is doing this for the good of the Tang family, but if something goes wrong, our Tang family can't afford such a big loss......"
"Don't disturb the master's plan. Tang Kede coughed, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then continued: "You and I both know that although the Tang family is still one of the five major families, its situation is not good, and there is even a trend that one generation is not as good as the next. Now our family, you and me, and the thirteenth brother are alive. If our elder brother dies, only Feng Yi will be able to support such a big family in the next generation. But when Feng Yi and Feng Zhi go, who will be in the next generation? Who else will stand up and take up this burden?"
"......" Don Kejin was speechless, and what Don Kede said was also true. In fact, if it weren't for the last adventure to the Ominous Land, the Tang family would not have lost a large number of elites, in their generation, the Tang family should have been the strongest among the five major families!
The loss was so great that he has not yet recovered. It is directly reflected in the uneven quality of the next generation, except for Tang Fengyi, no one can take on this important responsibility, even Tang Fengzhi.
In the next generation, the oldest of the children is almost 30 years old, but no one stands out. Regardless of whether it is direct or collateral, no good seedling who can carry the crown has been discovered.
This can't but be said to be a sad thing, the so-called rich is not more than three generations, and ordinary people are like this. But the Tang family has been able to prosper for so many years, and they are well versed in the important surnames of cultivating successors.
"But...... You don't have to be so radical, the children are still young, you can always take your time......" Don Kejin's attitude weakened, although he was far worse than Don Kede in the overall situation, but he was not unable to figure out the key to this.
"Take your time?" Don Kede smiled, shook his head and smiled bitterly, with endless melancholy on his face as the hero's twilight ambition was unpaid: "The children are still young, we ...... But I can't wait......"
Tang Kejin was silent, and his eyes also showed sadness.
yes, they're old...... Even the youngest thirteenth brother is in the age of sixties, how long can they live? How many more years can they protect this blood-related family?
"That's it, you let them continue to pay attention to the whereabouts of the Absolute Master, be careful, don't let the Absolute Master find out, it's not good to cause misunderstanding. Don Kede shook his head, as if he had left all the endless melancholy behind him, and regained his calmness: "As long as the Absolute Master does not go to that ominous place, we will never interfere with any decision of the Absolute Master." ”
"Got it. Donkkin nodded, not discerning anything else.
At this moment, a young man stumbled in, his face was full of anxiety, because he was running too fast, he accidentally tripped over a stone when he entered the flower garden, and he fell to the ground with a forward lunge.
Tang Kede couldn't help frowning, Tang Kejin raised his face and shouted angrily: "Tang Yong, how many times have you been said, why are you always so frizzy!"
Tang Yong couldn't care about lying on the ground, and he didn't care about defending himself, so he raised his face and said anxiously: "Absolute master, absolute master, he's gone to an ominous place!"
"What?" Tang Kede and Tang Kejin almost shouted in unison, Tang Kede's figure flashed, blinked in front of Tang Yong like a gust of wind, and lifted Tang Yong up with one hand, almost the tip of his nose was about to be pressed against the tip of his nose, Tang Kede was so nervous that he forgot how much strength he had, and he also forgot to maintain his old man's style, and asked: "Tell me more details!"
"Second brother......" Tang Kejin hurriedly ran up and pulled Tang Kede's arm, and Tang Kede found that Tang Yong was so frightened by himself that he was as pale as a chicken chick and couldn't speak.
Realizing his gaffe, Tang Kede couldn't be as calm as usual, so he could only let go of Tang Yong, but he still asked anxiously: "Tell me quickly, what's going on!"
Don Kede couldn't hold his composure, for he knew how terrible that ominous place really was. He himself escaped from a bad place, and his brothers and family were buried in a bad place.
And now the Five Holy Ancestor Tang Jue has taken the three outstanding direct descendants of the family to an ominous place, no matter which one is sacrificed, it will be a great loss that the Tang family can not bear!
But with Tang Kede's might, even ordinary questioning is enough to make people unable to raise their heads, not to mention the power of the urgency just now?
"Xiao Hui, who is in charge of Ruixing City, has been following the Jue Ye personally, but he was accidentally discovered by the Jue Ye, and Xiao Hui doesn't know it yet. Later, when Xiaohui was talking to Xiao Nan about the ominous place, he was followed and heard by the absolute master...... So the absolute master left Uncle Fengli, Zhaorui, and Zhaolin to fight black market boxing in Ruixing City, and the Black Dragon Gang protected the three of them in case of accidents. The Absolute Master went to the ominous place alone, and Xiaohui has already asked a master to track the Absolute Master to the ......"
"Tang Hui and Tang Nan, these two idiots!" Tang Kejin was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at him, he was really afraid of something.
"You can't blame them for this......" Don Kede couldn't help but shake his head when he knew what was going on, he didn't blame Tang Hui and Tang Nan. With Tang Hui and Tang Nan's skills, it is indeed very reluctant to follow Tang Jue.
The reason for the incident was because he cared too much about this matter, and because he cared too much, he sent someone to follow Tang Jue. As a result, the news leaked, which in turn prompted Tang to go to a bad place...... But fortunately, only the master went alone...... This news made Tang Kede breathe a sigh of relief, not that he didn't care about Tang Jue's life or death, but that he had absolute trust in Tang Jue's skills.
If Tang Jue took Tang Fengli and them there, Tang Fengli and the three of them would not only not be able to help, but would also be a drag on Tang Jue.
On the contrary, if Tang Jue went alone, with the skills of the Five Holy Ancestors, it should still be possible to protect himself...... Despite this, Don Kede still hung in his heart, very uneasy. After a little hesitation, Tang Kede said to Tang Kejin: "After all, this matter started because of me, ninth brother, Tangjiabao will be handed over to you, notify the [Internal Affairs Group] to prepare the car, and I will go to Tianmanxing." ”
"Second brother, are you going there......" Tang Kejin looked at his gray-haired, old, rickety second brother in disbelief, could it be that the second brother is going to an ominous place?
Tang Kede nodded, he knew what his ninth brother was thinking, sighed, and said in a heavy tone: "If the absolute master wants to go, no one can stop him, and neither can I." What's more, why did the ancestral grave become an ominous place, and how did the ancestors, including my eldest brother, die...... I'd love to know, too.
"Ninth brother, you don't know, since that escape from the ominous place, how many times I have dreamed back in the middle of the night, I have been awakened from the dream, and then surrounded by boundless fear, I have sat alone all night until dawn...... I hate myself, I hate myself for why I didn't rush down to save my eldest brother at that time, even if it was to die together, so that there would be no guilt that would last for decades later...... "But for so many years, I have not been able to muster up the courage to go to an ominous place again, and I have always used the excuse that my family can't do without me." But I can't deceive myself, I'm afraid, I'm afraid of that ominous place that has swallowed my brother and countless relatives!"
At this point, Don Kede was almost already roaring, his fingers trembling with excitement, and the words hidden in his heart were out of control for the first time.
Tang Kejin was speechless when he heard this, he had no idea that his second brother had been living in the shadow of guilt. In Tang Kejin's impression, the second brother has always been like a mountain, unshakably fixing the country of Tangjiabao.
He didn't expect that the famous Federation Army God also had a fragile side in his heart. It turns out that the Federation Army God also has nightmares, and he will wake up from his dreams like ordinary people, and then he can't sleep in fear...... Tang Yong heard for the first time the hidden side of this old man's heart, which can be called a living totem. Maybe knowing this, the perfect image of the old man would collapse in his heart, but for some reason, Tang Yong heard it with tears in his eyes.
"But that's no longer the case. After Tang Kede vented his emotions, he finally calmed down a little and suddenly smiled: "Anyway, I have lived this age, instead of going into the coffin with the guilt that hurts into the bone marrow, it is better to fight this old bone and accompany the master again! If I can't bring out my eldest brother's bones, I will stay there to accompany him, at least I will be buried in the ancestral grave......
"Second brother......" Tang Kejin is anxious, the Tang family can be as stable as a rock now, everyone knows that it is because of Tang Kede, the federal military god, who is in charge. Tang Kede's words are obviously a will to die, if Tang Kede has three longs and two shorts, what can the Tang family do?
"This is the old man's last order!" Tang Kede's eyes that had been squinting suddenly widened, and his sharp gaze seemed to penetrate Tang Kejin's heart, making Tang Kejin feel like he had been nailed there, unable to move or speak, and his heart was full of horror.
God, I am already a sixth-stage guard master, and I can be nailed here just by looking at me, what kind of cultivation is the old man already doing? Tang Kejin thought in horror, but saw that Tang Kede had already walked outside the flower garden.
Walking to the door, Don Kede stopped and looked back at Don Kejin deeply. There are too many meanings in this eye, which is trust, trust, encouragement, and ...... Farewell.
Tang Kejin stood there dumbfounded, his tall and thin body trembling, his eyes unconsciously filled with tears, but the old rickety figure had disappeared from the flower garden......
