Chapter 1167: Awakening
His face sank: "Pass through the ruins at full speed, not for a moment!" ”
Yingren, who had just sat down, had to get up, and there were a few movements that were particularly slow. The patriarch glanced at them with a sharp gaze, and was about to speak, when suddenly the sound of horses' hooves sounded behind him.
There was a single horse galloping in, and the speed was very fast.
"It's Ah Xun."
"Ah Xun is here!"
Although the Ying people don't know where Ah Xun left Chigu a while ago, he is the patriarch's own son after all. If he is kind enough to stop him, the patriarch probably, should, maybe not kill him with a knife, right?
Ah Xun hurried to catch up, and the treasure horses all ran to the point of detachment, and finally arrived before Yingren walked through the ruins of Barley Mountain, and he was also relieved.
He finally caught that glimmer of opportunity. This time, God finally didn't joke with him.
The patriarch saw this son galloping over, his face was gloomy and joyless, and even after Ah Xun got off the horse, he slapped him over: "Do you still know to come back?" ”
His father looked at him with cold eyes and an unfamiliar tone, and he didn't spare his hand for this slap.
Ah Xun was beaten and staggered, and as soon as he stood up, his cheeks were swollen.
Knowing that his father had been completely controlled by Luo Shengjia, he still couldn't stop feeling sad in his heart.
He already knew that the characters wearing Luo Shengjia behaved differently, but the obsessions in their hearts would be magnified, without exception. The fact that his father is so crazy shows that he was originally hit by a demon miasma, so he would become a demon under Luo Shengjia's acceleration.
But after the sadness, there is more determination.
"Father, I was wrong, I shouldn't have left!" He covered his face and said, "From now on, I will firmly follow in your footsteps!" ”
The patriarch's eyes turned to suspicion: "What did you do before?" ”
Ah Xun was talking to him now, and he always felt that he was talking to a piece of cold armor: "I went to survey the territory of the Purple Clay Man and collect intelligence for you!" Since this battle must be fought, we must make thorough preparations! ”
The patriarch was a little surprised: "Oh? What intelligence have you gathered? ”
Ah Xun was sweating profusely, regardless of the fact that he was still panting, he grabbed a branch and drew a circle on the muddy ground: "The timing of the attack you chose is particularly good, the current farming of Zini is coming to an end, the granary is full, the farmers are still working in the field, and the number of soldiers in the army has been greatly reduced." ”
Manpower in small places is particularly valuable, and most of the Zini people usually farm the land, and only go to the army when they are idle or have no food to eat. Feeding a large army in a non-war state is too expensive for a small country to afford.
Zini's long-term garrison army is only 6,000 people, and it will be temporarily recruited until a big battle.
"What's even better is that this year they built a new public warehouse in Liusong Township, and all the grain from ten miles and eight townships was deposited here." The branches moved on the makeshift map, "We can go down the mountain and go straight to Liusong Town, as long as we take these public warehouses, we will have food behind us, we can gain a firm foothold in Zini, and every step is urgent-Liusong Town is not far from several important towns, when we divide our troops into two ways and launch a surprise attack, it will be easy to capture." When the time comes, there will be food and a town, and it will not be difficult to lay down the nest of the purple clay people. ”
He spoke reasonably, and the patriarch's face softened greatly, and even the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
"This is my good son!"
The others were disappointed.
They originally hoped that Ah Xun could persuade his father to change his mind, but they went together.
Hey, if there is a father, there must be a son.
Ah Xun didn't see their eyes, and knelt down in front of the patriarch: "In the past, I was willful and failed my father's hard work. ”
When others heard this, they were worried about his knees.
Usually when he comes out like this, the patriarch will probably subconsciously help him up.
However, no.
Instead of stretching out his hand, the patriarch subconsciously took a step back: "Okay, get up." In a few hours, we will be able to let the Purple Clay Man see the power of our father and son! ”
Except for the previous slap that he couldn't help it, his father didn't want to touch him, why?
Is it to guard against him? Ah Xun already had a guess in his heart.
Father and son converged, and Yingren continued to march towards Zini.
The barley mountain is deep in grass and trees, and the stone carvings and carved cliffs of common vines are buried in a desolation. Ah Xun also thought about how brilliant the Shining Gold Empire was to build such a luxurious palace? But why did it fall again in the end, was it really just because of a piece of Luo Shengjia?
Father and son walked side by side, from his point of view, his father had lost a lot of weight in just over a month, his cheekbones were bulging, his eyes were bloodshot, and his cheeks were abnormally flushed.
How did that evil armor erode his father and make him so excited? Ah Xun had been to the ruins of Barley Mountain twice, and knew that the team was about to walk near the treasure house, so he called softly: "Daddy." ”
The patriarch buried his head in the road and hummed.
"Your grandson is going to be born in a few months, do you have a name for him?"
He suddenly threw out a topic that had nothing to do with the war, and the patriarch couldn't help but be stunned, and the frenzied belligerence in his mind suddenly stopped, and a new name jumped into his mind.
Grandson?
Yes, my daughter-in-law is already pregnant for five months, and she will give birth in a few months. This will be his eldest grandson, and maybe the new leader of the Ying people in a few decades.
This is a new life, and it is also a continuation of his bloodline.
"Ah......" the patriarch shook his head hesitantly, "Not yet, it's too early, right?" ”
As soon as he hesitated, Ah Xun was happy in his heart. His father's hesitation is a manifestation of human nature, which shows that he has not been monopolized by the evil armor in this regard.
"You can choose a nickname for him first, you are the person I respect and are closest to Xiao Luo." Ah Xun hopes to awaken the humanity in his father's heart.
In any case, it is in the nature of grandfathers to love their grandsons.
He added another fire: "I heard the clan elder say that before my brother and I were born, you thought of the name early?" ”
A smile finally bloomed on the patriarch's serious face, like the first spider-like crack in the ice: "It's not easy, I was not satisfied with thinking about dozens of names, and it wasn't until after your brother was born that I grabbed the note with my own hands and caught his name." ”
Walking in the ruins of the empire of the previous dynasty, listening to the black cry and looking at the wild grass, the father and son talked about some old things in the past, although they chattered, but the father's eyes gradually softened.
Seeing that the atmosphere was okay, Ah Xun couldn't help but say, "Daddy, have you ever thought about leading your clan out of the Shining Gold Plain?" ”
"What do you mean?"
"The world beyond the Shining Gold Plains is still very large, more fertile, richer, and there is no kingdom." Ah Xun has always hoped in his heart that he can solve the current trouble without blood, "There are not many of us, so wouldn't it be a way out to leave by boat from Julu Harbor and go to the west to start over?" ”
"Innocent! Do you know what you're talking about? The patriarch frowned, "We are the descendants of the Shining Gold, the true royal bloodline!" This land belongs to us! ”
