Chapter 439: So This Is the Truth
When the sky was bright, Xia Yang walked into the main tent with the morning dew.
He stood in the doorway, took a deep breath of fresh air, and coughed slightly.
"General Luo, are you there?" He asked softly.
There was a slight noise in the main tent, and then Luo Jinyu's voice sounded, "Wait a minute, I'll come."
After a while, Luo Jinyu walked out of the tent, his face was still a little sleepy, but when he saw Xia Yang, he instantly woke up.
"Overseer Xia, is there anything going on so early?" Luo Jinyu asked, his eyes a little puzzled.
Xia Yang took a deep breath, "I have something I want to discuss with you."
Luo Jinyu glanced at Shu Zhihan in the main tent, she was sleeping quietly, her hair was scattered on the pillow, and the sun was shining on her face, adding a little softness to her.
He closed the curtain gently, turned to Xia Yang and said, "Let's go, go outside and talk."
The two walked out of the tent, Xia Yang took a deep breath of the early morning air, and the outline of the mountains in the distance gradually became clear in the morning light.
He turned his head to look at Luo Jinyu, the general's eyes were firm and deep, and he seemed to be able to see everything.
A complicated emotion welled up in Xia Yang's heart, and he took a deep breath, ready to say the plan in his heart.
Xia Yang looked at Luo Jinyu with a firm look in his eyes, "Those people outside the camp are all saints, I think, their goal is actually very simple, just to bring back the living Shu Zhihan."
A trace of doubt flashed in Luo Jinyu's eyes, and he looked at Xia Yang, as if waiting for his explanation.
Xia Yang took a deep breath, "What they want is nothing more than Shu Zhihan. As long as we can protect her, then those people outside won't do anything to us."
Luo Jinyu was silent for a moment, he seemed to be thinking about Xia Yang's words.
Luo Jinyu looked at him and subconsciously asked him, "Why is this? What does the Holy One want to do?"
Xia Yang was silent for a moment, he seemed to be looking for a suitable wording, "I suspect that the Holy Lord already knows that his mother has left the Water Palace, so now he wants Shu Zhihan to replace his mother and guard the Water Palace."
A hint of surprise flashed in Luo Jinyu's eyes, "What's the use of that water palace?"
The atmosphere was a little gloomy for a moment, and the two of them stood outside the tent, the mountains in the distance looming in the morning light.
Xia Yang was silent for a moment, as if he was sorting out his thoughts, and then said slowly, "Only when the Water Palace exists, can the Holy Lord be immortal."
His voice was low and powerful, as if every word was filled with heavy weight.
Luo Jinyu looked at him with doubt and shock in his eyes.
Xia Yang took a deep breath, as if he was giving himself courage, "There is a mysterious spring in the Water Palace, which is said to have an endless lifespan. The Holy One once spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build the Water Palace, just to protect this spring. Now that his mother has left the Water Palace, the Holy Lord wants Shu Zhihan to take her place, protect this spring, and ensure his eternal life." There was a hint of helplessness and pain in his voice.
"If you keep that spring, you can't just do it, can you?" Luo Jinyu's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he asked coldly.
Xia Yang said softly, "Yes." There was a tremor in his voice, and the look in his eyes was complicated, as if he was thinking about the possibilities of the future.
Luo Jinyu looked at him and didn't speak, but his eyes revealed a firmness.
He knew that everything Xia Yang said would require them to pay a huge price.
Everything in the distance looks so ethereal, as if telling the confusion of the road ahead.
Xia Yang took a deep breath and said everything.
He describes his mother's departure, the ambition of the saints, and the mysterious spring in the water palace. His words were like a spell, echoing in the early morning air.
He depicts the grandeur of the water palace, the mystery of the springs, and the saint's desire for eternal life.
Every detail seemed to flash in front of his eyes, and every emotion seemed to stir in his heart.
Luo Jinyu listened, his eyes getting deeper and deeper. he
saw the pain and helplessness in Xia Yang's eyes, and also saw the difficulties and challenges in the future. He knew that all of this would cost them a lot.
The mountains in the distance loom in the morning light, as if to foreshadow the difficulties ahead.
But Luo Jinyu did not flinch, there was only firmness and determination in his eyes. Because he knows that the only way to protect Shu Zhihan is to protect it.
"Can you tell me what is going on with you and Green Lotus?"
Xia Yang sat on the ground, took a deep breath, and smiled bitterly.
He closed his eyes, as if remembering something, and as if he was running away from something.
After a long time, he spoke slowly, his voice trembling a little, "I grew up with Green Lotus in the Water Palace since childhood, and we have experienced ups and downs together.
At that time, we thought that we would stay with our mother for the rest of our lives, but when we grew up a little bit, the Holy One brought us out, and he forced our mother to stay in the Water Palace willingly in order to be able to control us, and we were forced to take medicine since we were children, so we are not candidates for the guardians of the Water Palace."
There was a hint of pain and helplessness in his voice.
Luo Jinyu listened, and a complex emotion also surged in his heart, and he was a little troubled for a while.
Xia Yang continued, his voice seemed to come out of the depths of his heart, "It is precisely because there was still a mother guarding the Water Palace at the beginning that the Holy Lord let Shu Zhihan leave, and it is precisely from this incident that he understands your heart for Shu Zhihan, and it is precisely because of this that he has one more handle to hold you.
He thought his mother would be able to take his place, guarding the spring and ensuring his eternal life. But he was wrong."
A trace of pain and helplessness flashed in his eyes, "Mother has left the Water Palace, and the Holy One has lost the person who guards the spring. Now, he wants Shu Zhihan to replace his mother, just because I and Lu He are not suitable candidates."
Luo Jinyu listened, and a complicated emotion surged in her heart.
He saw the pain and helplessness in Xia Yang's eyes, and realized that the next road was very difficult.
Suddenly, a loud bang broke the silence of the early morning.
Xia Yang and Luo Jinyu quickly got up from the ground, their eyes full of vigilance.
The sound came from the direction of the camp gate, and they rushed quickly in the direction of the sound.
Luo Jinyu and the others quickly gathered the soldiers, he stood on the high platform, and saw that the number of people outside the camp had increased several times at some point.
Their enemies were a group of black-clad Assassins, all wearing black masks on their faces, making it impossible to see them for what they really were.
These Assassins were agile and athletic, apparently highly trained.
Luo Jinyu's heart tightened, he knew that the target of these assassins was Shu Zhihan, and he quickly gave the order to prepare the soldiers for battle.
The large camp in the morning light instantly became solemn, and the soldiers were armed with weapons and ready for battle.
And those assassins also began to attack, their goal was clear, that is, to break through the defense line of the big battalion, Luo Jinyu's eyes were firm, he knew that this was a hard battle, but they couldn't back down.
Luo Jinyu didn't panic in the slightest, he sent a signal into the air, signaling Meng Haowen and Meng Haowu to rush over to support.
His eyes were determined, and he knew in his heart that only if the three brothers worked together would they be able to withstand the attacks of the Assassins.
Soon after, Meng Haowen and Meng Haowu rushed to the camp, they saw the scene in front of them, and they knew very well in their hearts that this was a hard battle.
But they didn't back down, because they knew it was to protect the people who mattered most to them.
They quickly joined the fray, and their skills were swift, and they soon joined the Assassins in a fierce battle.
The camp in the morning light instantly became more chaotic, but Luo Jinyu and they did not flinch, they held the defensive line.
The Meng brothers led their men to fight the group outside the camp, and they were very athletic and soon fought with the Assassins.
And Luo Jinyu and Xia Yang are
Prepared in the big camp, they knew that the next battle would be even tougher.
Xia Yang's eyes were full of determination and determination, and the long sword in his hand shone with a cold light.
And Luo Jinyu was dressed in a military uniform, and his eyes were full of firmness and determination.
They stood at the entrance to the camp, waiting for the Assassins to arrive.
The camp in the morning light instantly became more solemn, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
The Assassins began to rush towards the camp, their clear goal was to capture Shu Zhihan.
However, they don't know that they are facing a group of fearless warriors.
Luo Jinyu and Xia Yang rushed out first, their long swords cutting through the air and making a piercing sound.
They wielded their swords and fought fiercely with the Assassins. They were athletic and quickly repelled several of the Assassins.
However, there were too many of those assassins, and they kept rushing up, overwhelming Luo Jinyu and Xia Yang. Xia Yang had already suffered many scars on his body, but he didn't flinch, and the long sword in his hand was still waving continuously.
And Luo Jinyu was the same, his eyes were firm, and the long sword in his hand was flying in the air like a silver dragon.
They fought the Assassins for a long time, and finally repelled them. However, they know that this is not the end and that they must prepare for the worse. Look at the book
They didn't expect that they would be able to repel that group so easily.
Meng Haowen and Meng Haowu hurriedly came to Luo Jinyu's side and inquired about the situation.
"General, how are the Assassins?" Meng Haowen asked.
Luo Jinyu didn't speak, just shook his head gently. He knew in his heart that the Assassins had not been completely repulsed, they had only temporarily retreated, waiting for more of their accomplices to come.
"We have to be prepared for the worst, they retreat so easily, it must not be that simple." Luo Jinyu said in a deep voice.
Meng Haowu also nodded, he knew that Luo Jinyu was right. They will have to prepare for the worst, because the battle will be tougher.
