Kong Ming felt a lot of pain in his head, and wanted to get up, but he couldn't get up, and he tried his best to open his eyes, only to see several vague figures looking at him in front of him, and he wanted to gradually become clearer. It turned out that these people were all orphans taken in by Kong Ming in the imperial capital of Huayuan. Three years have passed, and I am almost unrecognizable.

"Wake up, wake up, Lord Baron!" a voice shouted wildly, and in a moment a large number of people poured into Kongming's room, filling Kongming's bedside to the brim.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" an old man's voice came in, and the men hurriedly let an old man in his fifties in. Looking at Kong Ming, who opened his eyes, he touched Kong Ming's head with his hand, and then checked Kong Ming's pulse, and said to a man next to him: "Kong Ting, don't worry, your baron is fine, I think it won't take long to completely recover." I will prescribe a few more pairs of medicines, and I will nourish my body, and I will get better faster in the future. ”

Kongting is one of the biggest orphans left by Kongming, and when Kongming took them in, just like most orphans, there was only one trumpet, so Kongming took the surname Kong, and then gave them their big names in turn, and reported to the official, so that they also had identities. Kong Ming's eyes looked past these children and saw that there were several people not far away who were serving as mercenary companions, and one of them was still the sage who was responsible for protecting Kong Ming. Seeing Kong Ming wake up, one of the great swordsmen named Sun Kai stepped forward and saluted.

"Everyone else should go out, Sun Kai and Kongting stay. ”

After watching the others leave, Kong Ming looked at Sun Kai and said, "What the hell is going on, how can I be here?" Kong Ming didn't remember from waking up until now, how could he return to his home in the Huayuan Imperial Capital when he was obviously fighting in the Harvey Empire.

"Here's the thing......"

Sun Kai recounted in detail what happened next.

When the battle in Taicheng was at its fiercest, a loud explosion suddenly came from the middle of the Songjiang River. The explosion blasted the river straight into a huge column of water that rose high into the clouds. Everyone couldn't figure out what happened for a while, but fortunately, Yiyiyi's reaction was relatively fast, ordering a team of mercenaries who did not join the battle to immediately go to the location of the incident, and she actually led the team to hurry there, so that everyone didn't know what was going on for a while. When Sun Kai followed her to the river, he saw a large pile of ice floating on the water, and there were many dead big fish among them. Yi Yiyi hurriedly sent the entire team of swimmers into the water to see what was going on, and actually brought a magician to search the explosion center using the magic of searching, and after a long time, finally brought more than a dozen people from the water. And Kong Ming is one of them, after seeing Kong Ming who fainted, everyone was also panicked, you must know that Kong Ming is the commander-in-chief of the entire mercenary army, if he has an accident, it will be amazing. So the others hurried to probe their breath. found that Kong Ming still had a trace of breath, so he hurried to the rescue. Thankfully, three or four of the dozen or so people survived. And one of them is a powerful sword saint with a secret treasure on his body, who escaped this catastrophe and woke up three days after the battle of Taicheng, and he also told this god-slaughtering plan to everyone, this moment. All the people were shocked, and finally knew why Kong Ming, the commander-in-chief on the battlefield, would leave his post at a critical time and disappear, it turned out that he still had a battle with the gods. And the death of two god-level powerhouses. It also spread to the Quartet for the first time, so that all the empires and kingdoms were stunned, the god-level powerhouse, that is the patron saint of an empire, and two died like this. Everyone was thinking about how to take advantage of this situation, and the first thing Yiyi did after hearing this situation was to let the air demon rider escort Kong Ming back to prevent the assassination of the Harvey Empire, you must know that there are many Harvey spies in the mercenary army, if they react, Kong Ming will not survive, so in this way, Kong Ming returned to the Huayuan Empire from the air. After Kong Ming returned to the empire, the emperor asked the best doctor of the emperor to treat Kong Ming, the one just now, the emperor's imperial doctor, and the best medicine for Kong Ming, but even so, Kong Ming was in a coma for twenty-three days, and he didn't wake up until today.

"What is the outcome of the Battle of Taicheng?" asked Kong Ming weakly.

"Annihilated most of Harvey's Fifth Legion, but their commander left the teleportation array with a handful of men. ”

"How is that possible? Didn't we do a space magic blockade?" Kong Ming was surprised. But then he looked at Sun Kai's speechless look, thought about it, and reacted, "Hehe, it seems that it was my fault, the switch of the space magic array was on my body, I think it was after I left, they didn't close it again, and as a result, they let them escape." It's a pity, what about the battle damage?"

"The mercenary army has lost a total of more than 600,000, of which more than 40 have died, and our Snow Wolf mercenary army is the most severely damaged, with more than 400,000 people participating in the battle, losing nearly 300,000, of which nearly 200,000 have died, and more than 100,000 people have been injured by different Cheng dù, and now they have all been arranged to go to the land of chaos. Sun Kai said, then he thought for a while and then said:

"After the Battle of Taicheng, our Snow Wolf Mercenary Army was divided into several groups, one under the leadership of Commander Li Yao and now stationed in the north of Songjiang, one under the leadership of the Commander of the Wooden Soldiers, from the south bank of the Songjiang River according to your prior arrangement, has already moved to the north, returned to the north bank of Songjiang and merged with Li Yao's Command Department, and the other part of about 120,000 people, led by Commander Wei Qian, returned to the chaotic land, of which there were nearly 100,000 wounded. ”

"Two hundred thousand, a lot less than I imagined, I thought that our snow wolf mercenary army would become the main direction of their attack, and it would be very good to be able to withstand it, after all, they are the elite of a country. Kong Ming sighed, they are the objects that the Harvey Empire is eager to eradicate, in front of a mortal army, there are no other more entanglements of interests, people who want to die, where will they think so much, if they are replaced by Kong Ming, they must pick those teams who have no experience in big wars, because they have no experience, so it is easier to break through and escape. He was not Alexander's kind of man who was in the position, he believed in the death of man on earth and the survival of man and earth. The countermeasure of people dying and dying.

"After the god-level powerhouse in the land of chaos died, has there been any change in the land of chaos, and do those people still accept our wounded?" This was the agreement between Kong Ming and Bian Ping at the beginning, who would have thought that the god-level powerhouse who pretended to be forced also fell into this god-slaughtering plan, and he slaughtered himself, without him, Kong Ming was worried that those wounded would be angry a lot.

"At this point, the commander can rest assured. There have been rumors in the Land of Chaos that they will abide by the agreement with the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army, and they have also brought the 120,000 wounded to the depths of the Land of Chaos, and I heard that they will form a guard under the direct jurisdiction of the Land of Chaos. Sun Kai's words made Kong Ming's heart feel relieved, after all, this is related to the follow-up of an army. And Wei Qian's ability to lead an army of 120,000 back obviously shows Wei Qian's status in the Land of Chaos. And the words. Although there are only more than 20,000 healthy people in the 120,000 army, once the 100,000 people are healed, there may be 50,000 who can continue to fight, but the other 50,000 can continue to be used as instructors and other talents, after all, few people can survive a battle of more than 3 million people. In particular, it is the main direction of the enemy's counterattack, which is the most valuable treasure in the life of those who survive, and the most valuable resource in a war. And the fact that the Land of Chaos can say this shows that they still have god-level powerhouses there, when did god-level powerhouses become so worthless. It's like Chinese cabbage.

After hearing this, Kong Ming completely relieved his heart, and his heart was relieved for a while, Harvey's battle was over, and now he was starting a new life, as for the future, he could neither control nor worry about this matter, in other words, his employment contract was over. He propped up his body vigorously and said to Sun Kai: "Take me to the courtyard for a walk." ”

Sun Kai hurriedly helped Kong Ming up, perhaps because he didn't move for a long time, Kong Ming felt that his body didn't seem to be his own, and only with Sun Kai's support did he get up and walk to the courtyard step by step.

In March, it was the season of late winter and early spring, and the snow in the courtyard had not yet melted, and a cold breath made Kong Ming shiver, perhaps because of illness, so that Kong Ming's immunity to cold was minimized.

Looking at the snow in the sky, Kong Ming's heart was unprecedentedly quiet, now that he thinks about it, the reason why he survived this god-level powerhouse self-explosion is because the protection of the three-layer magic array weakens the power of the self-explosion, and the other is that he knew that the god-level powerhouse was going to assassinate him, and subconsciously, he put a lot of passive high-level magic protection scrolls on his body, you must know that the blow of the god-level powerhouse is not so easy to block, and in order to achieve this goal, he also deliberately asked Bian Ping for two passive protection scrolls made by god-level powerhouses, or because Kong Ming's request was more legitimate, Maybe because Kong Ming was an important and indispensable part of this plan, so Bian Ping gave him two scrolls of the god-level powerhouse, but even so, the self-explosion of a god-level powerhouse was not so easy to stop, and he was still stunned. I didn't wake up until now. I couldn't help but slander the one who pretended to be forced Bian Ping, you said that a god-level powerhouse, under the situation of taking advantage of everything, let the family make a common end, if you don't pretend to be forced, will you die? Now the pretending to be forced is really dead. Take it as a warning!

Kong Ming stood for a while, the strength on his body regained a little, at this time, there was a commotion from outside, just when Kong Ming wanted to ask what happened, I saw Yi Yiyi walk in with a few people: "Hehe, our commander, now you are not in good health, why don't you rest inside and run out?"

Yi Yiyi teased, the two have worked together for a long time, and they can't be more familiar.

"Walking, your body will be much better. Kong Ming said, and then noticed that among the few people she brought were men, and one of them was not dressed like her servant or something, maybe some nobleman in the imperial capital. This matter did not let Kong Ming guess, because Yi Yiyi directly introduced them to each other.

"Tang Shiliang, my fiancé, we will get married in a few days, I walked outside and passed by here today, so I came to take a look. There is endless pride in the words.

"Hehe, nice to meet you. Kong Ming said with a smile, although the two have been partners for more than half a year, but they are very pure colleagues, even the people around them really can't find anything wrong, I think Tang Shiliang also has someone among Yiyiyi's guards. So there was no unpleasant thing because the two had worked together for a long time.

"Haha, we are not passing by today, you must know that since you returned to the imperial capital, Yiyi has brought me here every day, and today I heard that you woke up, so I hurried over to take a look. Tang Shiliang said happily. He was also very satisfied with Kong Ming's reaction, because he saw that when Kong Ming heard Yi Yiyi's introduction, Kong Ming didn't have any things like the love between men and women on his face. It's a pity that he doesn't know that the current Kong Ming has been since Hu Siyue's matter. He has long been cold about things between men and women, and there may be some impulses occasionally, but it will never make him think anything else.

"Nasty, really. Yiyi said coquettishly.

Her kind of expression makes everyone feel better.

"Well, do you have any thoughts after the injury?" asked Yiyi.

"Now I just want to live in peace. As for other things, we haven't considered it yet. Kong Ming said lightly, as in the past.

"Why don't you help a bunch of Shiliang. You don't have anything to do anyway. Yi Yiyi said. Kong Ming didn't notice that when Yi Yiyi said this, Tang Shiliang's eyes lit up, and there were many more things in his eyes.

"Hehe, I really just want to take a good rest right now, hmm. When you get better, you can find something to do, and if you can't find something by then, you must ask the two of you for help, and don't dislike me when the time comes. Kong Ming smiled bitterly. As a nobleman, Kong Ming didn't get too many things from the empire, such as fiefdoms, such as official positions and the like, because his title of nobility was drunk, not like others, it was either an ancestral virtue, or a war exploit, or a merit, or it was pleasing to the emperor's eyes, so his income was limited to some basic subsidies given by the empire to some poor nobles, so that he would not fall into the name of the imperial nobles.

"Really, you actually put us in the back, hmph, just give it to the dog when I was tired for half a year!" Yi Yiyi scolded with a smile.

"Haha!" everyone laughed, and Kong Ming was embarrassed by his answer.

Everyone chatted for a long time, and did not leave until Kong Ming was sleepy.

On the street, Tang Shiliang and Yi Yiyi walked side by side.

"Do you think Kong Ming will help me?" Tang Shiliang said, there was something uncertain in his words.

"I don't know if the Kongming Gang will help us, but he will certainly not be our enemy. And he's a man who doesn't care about anything other than military, swords, and magic. Yi Yiyi thought for a moment and said.

"Yes, now I'm afraid that the eldest brother and other imperial brothers will fight for him, if this is the case, we will be in a very disadvantageous position. Tang Shiliang sighed, he is the emperor's second son, one of the heirs to the throne, now at this time according to the habits of the empire, the emperor must give way to the next generation after reigning for thirty years, so that the young prince has the ability and confidence to be a good emperor after succeeding to the throne, and at this time, in addition to not killing each other, what is fighting is the maternal line of each prince and the power cultivated by itself, but after all, it depends on the joint decision of the emperor and the elder group behind the emperor, so this time is the time for the battle for the throne, and the prince is the queen, the loser. And every prince has the possibility of becoming an emperor, so let every prince keep recruiting talents, from this aspect, Yiyiyi's participation in Harvey's war is not a simple national act, it also contains the meaning of fighting for Tang Shiliang, after all, as a possible queen in the future, ability is also an aspect of the investigation, and now from this aspect, she is successful. She knew some of Kongming's actions through Tang Shiliang's sister, and when she came to the land of chaos, it was also when Kongming was there to recruit troops and make a big fight, so she also took advantage of the situation, sure enough, her vision was good, and she made the right bet, as Kongming made a mess of the entire Harvey Empire, her exploits were increasing in the eyes of Emperor Tang Feng. Her approach made Tang Shiliang increase a lot of points in the eyes of the emperor. From this point of view, Kongming was unconsciously used by her, and of course this situation is mutual, not a separate benefit.

"You can rest assured that Kong Ming is not a person who is easily moved, in other words, he is a person who does not care about anything other than a few things that he is interested in. Yi Yiyi laughed, her fiancé is really roasting on the stove now.

"Soldier Saint, the only soldier saint in the entire empire, and the main person in charge of the future empire's military, his weight is not light, although he doesn't realize his own value now, but I think it won't be long before his door will be broken, Yiyi really thanks you, if it weren't for your fatigue in the past half a year, we wouldn't have gotten a favorable shape like today." ”

Kong Ming didn't know that the moment he returned to the empire, he was directly caught in this battle for the throne, and he was used to fighting, and he still didn't have any idea of what he wanted to do in the future, fortunately, as the commander of a mercenary army, he can now be regarded as very rich, you know, when it comes to dividing the spoils, he is the one who has the most share in the entire mercenary army, and the northeast of the Harvey Empire has let him sweep it all over, and his money does not have to worry about it for the time being. It was just an excuse to say to Yi Yiyi that he was looking for something to do, and he hadn't figured out the shape of the imperial capital yet, nor had he figured out Tang Shiliang's identity, so he refused to get on such a boat. It's a pity that Yi Yiyi thought that after Tang Shiliang's name was finished, Kong Ming would know about his person, but Kong Ming had spent the past few years in the imperial capital between magic and military, and even the annual meeting of the palace was lying down, how do you know who Tang Shiliang is? The misunderstanding between each other made these two people miss it lightly in the first exchange.

"Commander, it's time to rest. Sun Kai said on the side.

"Hehe, don't worry, although I'm a little tired, but if I stand up, I can refine my will even more, and my body is recovering now, it's not a big deal. After Kong Ming finished speaking, he took out a Harvey military-style long sword from the space ring, and began to perform a simple action that swordsmen usually use to lay the foundation, chopping, chopping, cutting, stabbing, blocking, and checking. Slowly, a fighting spirit rose from the dantian and flowed through the meridians of the whole body, slowly nourishing those injuries that had already been suffered. Although Kong Ming has become a saint, but he is just a soldier saint, the meridians have not been nourished too much by the fighting spirit or magic, this he only knew from the exchanges among those saints, when each saint is sanctified, heaven and earth will reward him accordingly, and those who are sanctified with fighting spirit, such as the sword saint, then heaven and earth will highly strengthen his will and fighting spirit, and the meridians of the whole person; , but this kind of strengthening is not as targeted as the sword master and the holy demon master, and like Kong Ming, who is sanctified by the art of war, heaven and earth will strengthen the soul of Kong Ming, but the direction of the strengthening of the magician is not the same, so heaven and earth are correspondingly strengthened for everyone who becomes a saint, in other words, every saint is unique for heaven and earth, so that the combat effectiveness of people like Kong Ming who have achieved military saints is much lower than that of saints of the same level, and the way to make up for this weakness is that Kong Ming must achieve the holy position in one of the magic and swordsmanship, so as to achieve two holy positions, will also get two rewards, such a saint is usually much stronger than the average saint, and the corresponding more aspects of the achievement of the saint are more perverted, it is said that there was a genius, after ten aspects of the achievement of the saint, the general god-level powerhouse in his hands can not go a round.
