Boni, who asked Ling Ze for help but returned in vain, was very desperate in his heart, but Ling Ze comforted her, and finally reassured her, after all, it was better to just work together than to fool around together.

And Ling Ze, who fooled Boni, was also relieved, but he wasn't lying to Boni, after all, he had already seen it in advance, Nahaxiu really didn't have any idea about that Aurelian, if he was really bent, then Ling Ze would definitely be more anxious than Boni.

Nahasiu, a super reliable brother, if he was abducted by that Aurelian, then Ling Ze would really be angry, which was no different from being stolen.

But fortunately, Nahaxiu's willpower is also very firm, and Ling Ze feels that he doesn't need to worry about this problem for the time being.

The most important thing is that in fact, Aurelian doesn't have such an idea, although he has his own charm halo that is both male and female, but he himself is a man with a normal personality orientation, let him "seduce" Nahasiu, and others are unwilling.

In short, after comforting Boni, Ling Ze left the base leisurely, he was the shopkeeper, there was really no one, his subordinates were busy to death one by one, and he himself had nothing to do.

Of course, Ling Ze definitely didn't eat and drink all day long, most of his time was spent on improving his strength, after all, for him, as long as he could exert his strength to compete with Estes, it would already be the most perfect result.

And during this period of calm transition, the informant Ling Ze arranged to search for Tazmi in the north finally got the news.

It was too easy for Ling Ze to find someone in the north now, after all, in addition to their Northwest Army's own intelligence network in the north, there were also Anning Dao believers all over the north who could be informants, and the intelligence network of the Oberg Assassin Society that could be used as a resource.

Of course, it was the followers of the Tao of Tranquility who played the greatest role in this matter, and these people were found all over the northern border, including those in the poor countryside.

Whether it was the intelligence network of Ling Ze's Northwest Army or the intelligence network provided by the Oberg Assassins' Association, the coverage of the countryside was weak, after all, it was not their goal.

And after Ling Ze received the news, he rushed over as soon as possible, it was a small village that was very remote in the north, it was really that kind of poor country, so poor that even Anning Road had just been covered.

And this is actually understandable, because only in this kind of place will there be people of the Empire like the trio of Tazmi, who still have hope for the Empire, and still maintain an innocent character.

The real knowledge, the real people who live in the city, must have long understood the darkness of this empire and the sinister nature of the human heart.

And this is actually why those aristocrats, those perverted rich people, will pick and choose the very earthy bun countrymen, because only these unpretentious and honest rural countrymen will easily fall for them, become their playthings, and be tortured to death by them one by one.

The reality is cruel, and it has always been the case with the poor and the uneducated, and this is the sad thing about this world.

After Ling Ze arrived at the small village, he quickly found Tazmi and his two friends.

Because these three people were training swordsmanship with an instructor, it was a retired soldier of the empire, it seemed that he should have been injured, so he had to retreat, and the retired soldier's legs and feet didn't seem to be very neat, just looking at the three of them with a sword on the side.

"Tazmi! Be serious for me! What are you looking around?! Is there some naked beauty taking a shower over there?! ”

The figure of Ling Ze standing on the side did not deliberately hide it, and Tazmi, who saw his figure, looked at this strange stranger a little strangely, and his movements were discovered by the instructor and reprimanded.

No way, Tazmi still felt very new to this kind of fresh face that appeared near the village, after all, they were relatively closed here, and there were really few outsiders.

"Instructor! There was a stranger there, and he seemed to be in trouble! ”

was named by the instructor, and seeing that he was about to be whipped, Tazmi quickly took the initiative to report Ling Ze's appearance.

He saw that Ling Ze was blindfolded, standing there motionless, and thought that Ling Ze was in some difficulty, so he wanted to ask the instructor to take them with him to see if he could help the strange blind man.

"Oh? Strangers? Still blind? ”

Looking in the direction pointed by Tazmi, the instructor also saw Ling Ze's figure, but he didn't decide to save Ling Ze immediately, because he was keenly aware that something was wrong, how did that blind man come here?

"Something is wrong, there are no nearby villages near us, how can a blind man like him come here? There must be a problem! ”

The instructor drew his sword and stood on guard, the sword in his hand looked very good, not like a weapon that an ordinary veteran could have.

"Iyeas, Sayo, Tazmi, get ready for battle."

The instructor was no ordinary veteran at first glance, both in terms of his keen consciousness and his skills.

You must know that Tazmi and the three of them have only studied with him, and Tazmi's strength when he first debuted was actually very strong at his age.

To be able to teach the apprentice of Tazmi's strength, this instructor must be an imperial general-level figure to say the least, and Ling Ze's guess was not wrong, this instructor was indeed an imperial general.

Because the first thing that this instructor thought of when he saw him was, "It can't be an assassin sent by the minister, right?" ”

This man was obviously persecuted by the minister, and was reduced to hiding in such a small isolated village.

"Who are you?"

With his nervous three little apprentices, Gulas asked Ling Ze with a serious face, he was ready to die here, if there was anything wrong with the situation, he would let the three of Tazmi escape with the whole village.

"Your idea is a bit too naïve, if I were an assassin sent by the minister, you would not have a chance to escape, you should let these three children escape back to the village as soon as possible."

Ling Ze shook his head and said to this former imperial general.

"They're not going to go, I know their character."

And the statement of this former imperial general Gulas made Ling Ze stunned slightly, this reason was something he didn't expect, but after a little thought, he understood that what this Gulas said was not wrong, and the personalities of these three people really didn't look like the characters who would leave their instructors and run away.

"So who the hell are you?"

From Ling Ze's words just now, Gulas already understood Ling Ze's subtext, that is, he was indeed not the assassin sent by the minister, but this made Gulas even more confused, because this person obviously knew his identity.

However, what Gulas didn't know was that Ling Ze had just learned about his identity from his reaction, and Ling Ze didn't know the identity of this guy before he came.

"In your village, you also have the belief in the Tao of Tranquility, right?"

Ling Ze still did not directly answer the other party's questions, but continued to ask his questions, holding the initiative in the conversation.

"Yes, so what? Are you a member of the Tao of Tranquility? It doesn't look like it's dressed up, but this posture of pretending to be a ghost is quite similar, so let's just say what the purpose is. ”

Gulas did not let his guard down, but this is understandable, after all, he is a fugitive wanted by the Empire, and if he offends the minister in charge of the country, he naturally has to be more careful, he did not expect that in the poor countryside in the north of the empire, there would be people who could find him.

"Don't get me wrong, General Gulas, I'm not looking for you, I'm looking for these three apprentices of yours."

Ling Ze smiled, but he didn't laugh at the other party's self-inflicted affection or anything, after all, he didn't play his cards according to common sense, and normal people would definitely not think that he was here to find those three young people, after all, those three were village people who had been ancestors for generations, and there was no reason to be remembered by outsiders.

"Looking for us?"

Tazmi, Iyeas, and Sayo looked at each other, obviously confused by Ling Ze's words.

Similarly, some self-inflicted Gulas didn't expect that the clown turned out to be himself, he always thought that Ling Ze was here to trouble him, after all, he was also a veteran general of the empire, and he offended a lot of people.

But this person turned out to be looking for his three apprentices, which made him a little embarrassed, but he was also slightly relieved in his heart, it was good that he didn't come to seek revenge.

Gulas wasn't cowardly, he just didn't want the village to suffer because of his own reasons.

If this person really came to him for revenge, there is a high probability that after killing him, this closed village will be completely destroyed.

"Do you know Tazmi, Shayo, Iyeas?"

Gulas breathed a sigh of relief and asked his three apprentices, although he didn't particularly know the family background of these three apprentices, but judging from his understanding, these three apprentices seemed to be natives of the countryside, and they should not have contact with people from the outside world.

"I don't know, I haven't seen it."

Tazmi, Shayo, and Iyeas did not react beyond Gulas's imagination, and all three of his apprentices shook their heads in denial, all of them looking puzzled.

"It's right if I don't know each other, because I came to find the three of them, not because we have any relationship with each other, I came to them just because I have a relationship with them, these three children are very good seedlings, nested in this small village, and wasted their talents."

Ling Ze's words made the doubts on the faces of Gulas and Tazmi, Iyeas, and Sayo even more serious, of course, the three children of Tazmi also had a feeling of being recognized, although it was recognized by strangers.

"I don't deny your words, these three children are indeed very good seedlings, and if they are well trained, they will at least be general-level talents, but why do you know?"

Of course, Gulas did not deny this, because he took a fancy to the talents of these three children, so he would take the risk to cultivate them, and he didn't want to see these three children nest in this village for a lifetime and waste their talents in vain.

In fact, there are too many talents in the huge empire, but most of them are subject to family reasons and knowledge, and can only be a farmer in the poor countryside for a lifetime.

The empire's talent training policy is still too primitive, it is still the rule of the elite aristocracy, the class is very solidified, and it is difficult for ordinary people to break their own class and become an aristocratic class.

"An opportunity is in front of you, which can help you get out of the current predicament, which can allow you to return to the military power, fight on the battlefield, wash away your grievances, avenge your family, and let these three children get a better education, grow up faster, get rid of the poor life, and make the life of the whole village better."

Ling Ze ignored the other party's questioning, and still talked to himself, which made Gulas feel very helpless.

"Now I just ask you if you want to seize this opportunity, once this opportunity to change your fate is missed, there will be no next time, you think about it yourself."

To be honest, Ling Ze's words were very attractive to these four people, especially for Gulas, being able to fight on the battlefield again and get the opportunity to avenge his family was something he had always dreamed of.

He has actually felt that his body is getting worse day by day, and he doesn't want to die with grievances, and he doesn't want to see his family and relatives who died tragically.

But whether the stranger in front of him was trustworthy or not was also a very important question, although he didn't feel that he and these three apprentices were worth such a lot of effort from each other, they were just an old dog dying and three poor country children.

"If you can make a decision, please report to Didao City, Longxi County, within fifteen days, and find a person named Nahaxiu, who will arrange everything for you."

Ling Ze ignored the reaction of the four people, and directly threw down such a sentence, and then simply disappeared.

And looking at the mysterious man who disappeared in front of him in an instant, Gulas and Tazmi, Iyeas, and Sayo were all stunned and overwhelmed, and they felt as if everything that had just happened was like a dream.

"Instructor, what that guy said... Can we believe it? ”

Tazmi's expression was a little yearning, but also a little overwhelmed, so he asked the most knowledgeable instructor in the village, Gulas, through the words of the mysterious man just now, they already knew that their instructor was once an imperial general.
