Chapter 58: The Heart
"Huh!"
Xu Heng lifted the tent cloth vigorously and stepped into it.
The light in the tent was dim, and only a vague figure could be seen, lying on a Taishi chair, very quiet, as if he was closing his eyes to recuperate.
Xu Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, gradually adapting to the darker interior.
It can be roughly seen that the other party is an elderly man, with a slightly slender posture and a rather thin figure.
Xu Heng couldn't help but condense.
He originally thought that if his identity was revealed, he would simply assassinate a wave, and then run away in hiding.
But now, he hurriedly put away all his thoughts.
The aura emanating from this old man's body actually made him feel a chill down his spine.
Although the other party didn't make any moves, just lying there like a dying old man, that breath was clearly on par with Chu Hongyu.
Obviously, this is also a master-level existence.
The Mandate of Heaven Sect is so ruthless? Actually sent a master to take over the Heiankyo stronghold?
As for it?
The previous stronghold godfather was only a third-order martial artist's strength!
Xu Heng suddenly felt lucky, fortunately, those spies in the Heavenly Prison Camp did not succeed in the ambush, otherwise if they really had to squat to this one, it is estimated that they would all be cold.
"You're Lao Liu?" At this time, the old man lying on the Taishi's chair slowly spoke.
The voice was very hoarse, revealing a kind of weakness and weakness, but with this opening of his mouth, the Taishi chair under him suddenly "creaked" and shook.
"Knock Knock ......"
Faintly, there was a faint sound of drums.
Xu Heng's eyes swept towards the old man in an instant, and the other party was holding some kind of object in his hand.
It seems to be a small drum with a handle, and the small balls are tied with strings on both sides of the drum surface, and as the Taishi chair shakes, the small balls gently hit the drum surface, making a subtle sound.
"Father-in-law!"
Xu Heng's face suddenly showed consternation, and his eyes were full of excitement and trembling and shouted.
"Huh?" The old man was shouted by him, and suddenly turned his head to look, and the Taishi chair under him suddenly stopped.
"No, no, please forgive me."
Xu Heng seemed to have just woken up, and he was still making the action of wanting to kneel, but he suddenly stopped, and said in great panic: "The subordinate parents left early, and when I saw the figure of the godfather just now, I vaguely felt very cordial, as if I had seen my relatives, and I couldn't help shouting out the big rebellious words, and asked the godfather to forgive me." ”
"......" The old man didn't speak, just a pair of deep and turbid pupils, which looked extremely sharp in the dark, staring at Xu Heng.
Xu Heng also glanced at the object in the other party's hand.
If you guessed correctly, it was a rattle used by children to play, combined with the old man's previous sense of loneliness and loneliness, Xu Heng had to boldly speculate that the old man was missing his heir just now.
So be bolder, if you recognize the thief as your father at this moment, will there be any awakening?
Lao Xu shouldn't mind, who let him disappear for so long?
Although you and I have the resources of the emperor, it is not easy at the moment!
"Is this drum a reminder for you?" The old man suddenly picked up the rattle in his hand and stared at Xu Heng expressionlessly.
"Yes, my father made this for me when I was young, but unfortunately it was also lost later, so I lost my words for a while, and asked my godfather for forgiveness." Xu Heng lowered his head and said.
"You don't have to open your mouth and close your mouth to forgive your sins, this seat is not a strict person." The old man shook his head lightly, and his cloudy eyes looked at the object in his hand again, as if he was reminiscing about his memories again.
"Yes, thank you, Godfather!" Xu Heng immediately responded.
"I have no children and no daughters under my knees, and now I am also a lonely widow, and your father-in-law makes this seat a little frightened."
The old man suddenly smiled slightly, but this laughter sounded a little weird, like hiding a leaky ball, leaking air while laughing.
"Godfather, if you don't dislike it, your subordinates are willing to provide for you." Xu Heng made another gesture to kneel.
"Wait."
The old man stopped him and said with a smile: "Do you know that the officials in Heianjing were all planned and hid by me?" Kojiro didn't contact you to go with you, which is also the meaning of this seat, to some extent, the people in your stronghold are actually outcasts. ”
"The destiny of heaven is returned, and we are born in response to the catastrophe, and we have become abandoned children, even if we have to die in response to the catastrophe, it is also our destiny, how fortunate it is." Xu Heng began to speak evil words, a bit of a cult.
"Huh, you don't hate me?" The old man asked with a smile.
"My subordinates don't dare, I know that this must be the godfather testing me, if I Lao Liuzhen dies in Heianjing, it is also my destiny, but now that I am out, I can still stand in front of you, I thank you too late, why hate?" Xu Heng's face was full of sincerity, and he said from the bottom of his heart.
"Heh, do you really want to recognize me as your father-in-law?" The old man asked with a smile again.
"Godfather...... No, the stepfather agreed? Lao Liu greets his father-in-law! Xu Heng looked up at the old man with surprise on his face, and made a gesture to kneel and kowtow.
"Okay, dirty, don't kneel, I don't care about that." The old man waved his hand suddenly.
"Yes, father-in-law!" Xu Heng immediately straightened his legs and leaned over slightly towards the old man.
"I came to you this time, I just want to meet you and ask some questions, but it's late at night, and the old man is also quite tired, so you can find a camp tent to settle down and rest, and our father and son will talk again tomorrow." The old man said calmly, his tone a little kinder.
"Okay, father-in-law, you rest first, and Lao Liu will come back tomorrow to say hello to you." Xu Heng arched his hand and slowly retreated.
Until they left the camp, Fengyun and the others were still standing outside, looking at him strangely.
Just now his "father-in-law" shouted loudly, and the two of them stood at the door, and there was no reason not to hear it.
"Two adults, I'll go find my men first." Xu Heng smiled at them and said hello.
The two just nodded and didn't say anything.
In the end, seeing Xu Heng leave, the two immediately lifted the tent, walked into the camp, and bowed respectfully to the old man.
"My lord, didn't you say that you were going to wipe out the people in the stronghold, why did you suddenly change your mind?" Lord Wind asked.
"Heh, are you worried that I will really believe that Na Lao Liu wants to worship me as my father-in-law?"
The old man shook his head and smiled: "This Lao Liu is a smart person." ”
Fengyun and the two of them showed puzzled expressions on their faces, just because they were smart people, so they changed their attention?
"When he saw the object in my hand, he was immediately able to call out to his father-in-law, which shows the cheekiness of this person. But he wanted to kneel to me several times in a row, but he didn't kneel down from beginning to end, but he was a little arrogant in his heart.
In fact, he knew that I didn't believe him, and he knew that he knew that he knew that I didn't believe him, so he said that I was testing him, hehe, this is like a war letter to me.
He wanted me to give him a chance to see how he did next and then decide whether to take him or not. ”
When the old man said this, he stood up from the Taishi chair: "Then I'll see if he Lao Liu has the qualifications for such arrogance, he doesn't want to kneel to me, and wants to be my godson of Kunba, I'm still curious about where he gets the confidence and confidence." ”
"Godfather, then his identity ......," Lord Feng hesitated.
"The identity still has to be verified, lest you turn out to be a Scorpion Army spy again, you go back to Heianjing tonight to investigate, and check on Lao Liu. If there is no problem, I will take him to Kojiro again to argue the truth. ”
"Yes!"
……
At the same time, Xu Heng was walking alone on the dark road, his expression was very solemn.
That old man is not simple.
Although the other party was temporarily stabilized, this wave was not easy to operate.
The civil official of Heiankyo turned out to be the old man who planned to hide, which shows that he can also find Kojiro to distinguish the authenticity of his identity.
So there is no need to think about any plans to break into the enemy camp.
The other party is a cult, and the cult members are the most cautious, and if they do not investigate their identities clearly, they will definitely not be trusted, and they will even be killed rather than let go.
"Shall I take the opportunity to run away first?"
Xu Heng's eyes flashed with brilliance.
If you leave Chu Hongyu and them alone now, you will definitely have a chance to run back to the Scorpion Army camp and continue to survive until the end of the war and pass the exam.
Anyway, it's just a simulated real battle.
None of these people are real anyway.
I'm taking an exam, and for the sake of scores, there's no need to engage in any self-criticism of morality.
History is written by the victors, and as long as I can get a high score and achieve something in the future, no one will dare to mention what I am doing here today.
Even if you mention it, what?
Replace it with their own try, they will not run?
What's more, I'm only a tenth-layer Jianqi, even if I go back to find Chu Hongyu and them, what can I do?
"For good reason, go home."
Xu Heng turned his head and prepared to run in a different direction.
There is no one around, and if you turn on [No Trace], you can easily escape from the scout's guard area.
However, before he could take a few steps, he stopped again.
"Damn, I haven't forgotten the principle of three not dividing one by one, but I really can't help it."
Xu Heng was a little annoyed, and wanted to hammer his chest, why was it so cool to run, but his chest was jammed, and he was so against himself.
"No, calm down, you must be calm, don't be impulsive."
Xu Heng took a deep breath and kept calming his emotions.
"Senior sister once said that if you are undecided, then make a decision according to your own heart. What do I want to do now? Run away? ”
Xu Heng whispered to himself, and slowly raised his head, his dark pupils looked radiant in the middle of the night: "No, it doesn't seem like I want to run so much, if I don't think about the test results, I want to ...... the most now"
He turned his head sharply to look in the direction of the Heian Army camp, and a strange smile appeared on his lips: "Kill people and set fire!" ”
