Chapter 161: Before and After Death

A round of red sun jumped out of the river, and the golden light reflected the Li River into gold.

The sound of the water is choppy, sparkling, and two figures stand by the river.

Zhao Yan held a box in his hand and quietly watched the sunrise in the distance.

He still remembered that Hou Qi once told him about the experience of breaking through the realm at the beginning, and the other party watched a sunrise on the edge of the Li River, and then broke through to Danjin and became a grandmaster.

It's a pity that the Li River is still there, the Si people have passed away, and they can no longer see the sunrise by the river.

"It is not easy to be idealistic."

Zhao Yan muttered, looking down at the box in his hand.

This box contains Hou Qi's ashes.

He 'watched' Hou Qi's last battle through mental contact, and knew where the other party was sacrificed, so after meeting with Mo Lifeng, he went to the 215th regiment first and cremated Hou Qi's bones.

That night, in fact, because Zhao Yan blew up the artillery of the artillery wing, the commander of the 8th Brigade of the 5th Division of the Eastern Navy, after receiving the news, decided to strike first, and ordered all units to break through without waiting for the Shenzhou Army to start a siege.

Therefore, the 215th Regiment will encounter the attack of the Eastern Navy, and Hou Qi will have the opportunity to release his last strength.

Zhao Yan took Hou Qi's ashes and his big knife from the 215th regiment, and then took Mo Lifeng to the edge of the Li River.

At this time, the two of them were already far away from the war zone where the Eastern Navy was located, and when no one on the Eastern Navy's side could no longer perceive Mo Lifeng's location, they didn't have to worry about encountering the warships of the Eastern Navy.

So the two of them are basically safe.

After watching the sunrise, Zhao Yan walked to the river, opened the box in his hand, and sprinkled the ashes inside into the river.

This was the last thought that Hou Qi passed on to him:

"When I die, I sprinkle my ashes into the Li River."

Now, Zhao Yan has fulfilled the other party's last wish.

However, he felt that Hou Qi's real last wish should be to 'see' that one day the Eastern Navy would be driven out along the Li River, so Hou Qi would let Zhao Yan sprinkle his ashes into the Li River.

"Brother Hou, there will be that day!"

Zhao Yan looked at the river in front of him and said firmly.

After that, he and Mo Lifeng waited by the river for more than an hour, and a small boat rowed towards the two from the other side of the river.

This ship was arranged by the 31st Army for two people.

Now Xiang Yi has won the trust of Tang Ling, the supreme commander of the 31st Army, so he told the other party about the problems between Mo Lifeng and the 27th Army, and Tang Ling also attached great importance to it, arranging for someone to take Zhao Yan and Mo Lifeng across the river, and then send the evidence that Mo Lifeng had to Lin Shu, the former commander-in-chief of the enemy.

A moment later, the ship arrived, and Zhao Yan took Mo Lifeng onto the boat.

The boat slowly moved away from the riverbank

When Zhao Yan took Mo Lifeng into the city, the streets and alleys of Pearl City were full of rumors about him at this time:

"I heard that because Wu Weiguo blew up the artillery of the Eastern Navy and killed their commander, now the Eastern Navy is being chased and beaten by our troops on the battlefield!"

"Well done!"

"What's at stake, this martial hero is simply the same as Grandmaster Hou Qihou, one person can defeat 100,000 troops!"

"If you want me to say, if there are a few more people like Wu Daxia and Grandmaster Hou, the Eastern Navy will be finished sooner or later!"

"Hahahaha!"

“.”

Zhao Yan took Mo Lifeng to walk on the streets of Pearl City, and almost everywhere he could hear someone talking about him.

Mo Lifeng looked at Zhao Yan with a strange expression.

Zhao Yan never told him his identity from beginning to end, and he didn't know what Zhao Yan and Hou Qi were doing when they were separated.

Hearing these discussions at this time, he barely thought about it, and he immediately thought of Zhao Yan:

"It turns out that this person is Wu Weiguo!"

"It turns out that he actually went to blow up the artillery wing of the Eastern Navy!"

"It's simply it"

Mo Lifeng looked at the excited expressions of the people on the street, if he shouted 'Wu Weiguo is here' at this time, it would definitely be funny.

However, he glanced at Zhao Yan's expression, but found that the other party was very lonely and didn't look happy.

Once famous all over the world, Mo Lifeng doesn't need to think about it to know that Zhao Yan's reputation will definitely quickly resound all over the country, and it is not impossible to even leave a name in history!

This kind of thing is worth being happy for anyone, but Zhao Yan doesn't look happy.

Wu Weiguo's fame is resounding all over the world, and a new hero has risen in Shenzhou, and everyone is cheering for it.

But not many people know that Shenzhou has also lost a hero.

"If I hadn't chosen to blow up the artillery of the artillery wing, wouldn't Hou Qi have died?"

Zhao Yan asked himself in his heart.

So now that he has become famous because of such a thing, he is not happy at all.

Because of the good news from the front line, the atmosphere of the entire Pearl City is like a festival, people are cheering, excited, celebrating, and very lively!

And as the 'source' of all this, Zhao Yan walked silently on the streets, which seemed to have nothing to do with this lively city.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Zhao Yan stood in front of a gate outside the courtyard and gently knocked on the copper ring on the door.

"Who?"

A calm voice came from the door.

"Brother Lu, it's me."

Zhao Yan said.

Brush –

The door was immediately opened, and Lu Gu looked at Zhao Yan with a look of surprise:

"Brother Wu!"

After that, he stepped forward and hugged Zhao Yan:

"Hahaha, your kid is terrible now, his fame is bigger than your brother Lu and me, and he is chasing after our president!"

"Is Brother Wu back?"

"Brother Wu!"

"Haha, Brother Wu is back!!"

“.”

In the house, several boxers from the Huaquan Club who heard the sound rushed into the courtyard in surprise.

They had all seen Zhao Yan and Hou Qi practicing martial arts together, but because they were seriously injured, they are still recuperating in this stronghold.

"Come on, let's talk about it first."

After Lu Gu hugged Zhao Yan, he pulled Zhao Yan into the courtyard with a smile on his face.

"Brother Wu, who is this?"

Lu Gu pointed at Mo Lifeng and asked.

"He is an officer of the 27th Army that Brother Hou and I snatched back from the battlefield, and there are some more important things that need to be used in the future."

Zhao Yan explained simply.

Lu Gu was stunned, nodded, and didn't ask more.

He looked Zhao Yan up and down, and the more he looked, the more surprised he felt:

"Yishou Dantian, it is one, and the gas mercury is like pulp, what are you?"

Among the several boxers present, he had the highest realm and had the most fights with Hou Qi, so he was the most familiar with Dan Jin, and he was the first to notice the changes in Zhao Yan.

At this time, Zhao Yan gave him a feeling very similar to Hou Qi!

Zhao Yan nodded calmly:

"That's right, I've broken through to Danjin."

Brush –

Including Lu Gu, after several boxers present heard this, their cold hairs exploded in an instant, goosebumps all over their bodies, and they looked at Zhao Yan incredulously.

"How is that possible?"

Someone subconsciously said it.

There's no way, it's not that they don't believe Zhao Yan, it's just that what happened to Zhao Yan is too unbelievable.

Ten days ago, Zhao Yan had just broken through to the realm of the Three Tricks under the witness of several people, but he went to the battlefield and came back to be the Dan Dao Grandmaster?

There is someone in this world who can break through from the first three tricks to Dan Jin in just ten days?!

The more martial artists know about kung fu, the more difficult it is to accept such a thing.

It's like someone telling a mathematician that a college student can go from beginner to self-taught in advanced math in a dozen days.

"Is it true?"

Lu Gu grabbed Zhao Yan and asked with some excitement.

Zhao Yan didn't speak, but just completed a 'hug Dan Hedao' in front of everyone.

This time, even if it was hard to believe that everyone who had witnessed the unity of Zhao Yan's whole body, qi and blood, and spirit had to accept the fact that Zhao Yan was already a Dan Dao Sect Master.

"It's incredible!"

"That's amazing!"

"Hahaha, you're a miracle!"

“.”

Lu Gu was a little incoherent, and the rest of the boxers of the Huaquan Club were not much better.

However, Lu Gu soon noticed that Zhao Yan's expression was a little gloomy, and he couldn't help frowning:

"You kid has done so many great things, become famous all over the world, and now you have successfully broken through the realm and become the youngest martial arts master in history, why do you look unhappy?"

Zhao Yan opened his mouth and was about to speak, when a boxer suddenly noticed the big knife on his back:

"Hey, isn't this knife the president?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yan silently took the big knife from his back and held it in his hand.

Lu Gu looked at the big knife in his hand, and then at Zhao Yan's expression, his body trembled, and finally realized something:

"You Knife"

The courtyard quickly fell silent, and the cheerful atmosphere just now was swept away.

Several boxers' faces turned a little pale.

Lu Gu opened his mouth, and finally gritted his teeth and asked:

"What about the president? Why didn't he come back with you? ”

His voice trembled slightly.

Zhao Yan looked up at the other party, was silent for a moment, and slowly spoke:

"Brother Hou, sacrificed."

Brush –

Lu Gu's whole person's momentum exploded instantly, and the qi and blood in his whole body flowed uncontrollably.

He grabbed Zhao Yan's arm and stared at Zhao Yan's eyes:

"What did you say?!"

"How is that possible!"

"How could the president die?!"

The rest of the boxers also subconsciously didn't believe it, and their reactions were the same as when they heard Zhao Yan break through to Dan Jin just now.

Zhao Yan took a deep breath, but still said word by word:

"Brother Hou died on the battlefield, I sprinkled his ashes in the Li River, and brought his knife back to you."

“.”

Lu Gu let go of Zhao Yan's arm and took two steps back, his body swaying, his eyes empty.

Over the years, this 'Arhat' has been running around, killing enemies everywhere, no matter what kind of predicament and sacrifice he faces, he will always have a heroic look, and the double hammer in his hand will always be able to unswervingly smash out, smashing everything that stands in front of him.

Nothing seemed to be able to hit him.

But at this moment, he seemed to be a little shaken.

No one thought that Zhao Yan would lie about this kind of thing.

Therefore, just like Zhao Yan just showed the realm of Dan Jin, Hou Qi's sacrifice is really real.

A pale breath descended on this small courtyard.

Bang Bang -

At this moment, the sound of firecrackers rang out not far away.

In the past few days, because of the good news on the front line, people will set off firecrackers to celebrate from time to time.

Even Lu Gu and the others had prepared firecrackers in advance, wanting to celebrate when Zhao Yan and Hou Qi returned.

But now, those firecrackers may not be used.

Although Brother Hou successfully broke through the realm at that time, he was also seriously injured, and even if he survived in the end, his kung fu was basically wasted."

In the courtyard, Lu Gu and the others sat in a circle, quietly listening to Zhao Yan tell Hou Qi's deeds:

"Brother Hou didn't want to accept that ending, he first got in touch with me in the realm of 'seeing God in the void', and then in this way, he fought to the last moment of his life."

Zhao Yan finished telling in detail what he knew that night, and did not miss any details.

There was silence in the courtyard for a long time, and a boxer said with red eyes:

"The president once told us that people can't choose their own birth in this life, and if they can't even choose their own death, it will be too boring. He said that he did not want to die in a hospital bed in the future, and he hoped that the last moment of his life would still be fighting for Shenzhou! ”

"At least, the president finally fulfilled his wish."

"I'm sorry."

Zhao Yan thought about it, and finally couldn't help but say: "If I hadn't chosen to separate from Brother Hou and go to bomb the artillery wing, then."

"Brother Wu, don't say such things!"

An elderly boxer interrupted him:

"It is because of what you have done that now our troops can win battles on the battlefield and gain the upper hand! With such a choice, even if you know the result in advance, if you ask the president to choose 10,000 times, he will definitely let you go! ”

“.”

Zhao Yan was silent.

"Do you say, can we win in the end?"

Lu Gu, who had not spoken, suddenly muttered.

Along the way, there is a person who has always given him great support, and he has only come to the present point by looking at the back of that person.

But now, even that back has fallen, so Lu Gu has finally fallen into confusion.

Hearing his words, the rest of the boxers present were also stunned, and there was a trace of weakness in their eyes.

Even a three-trick boxer like Lu Gu, the high-level of the Hua Boxing Club were confused because of Hou Qi's death, not to mention the rest.

Hou Qi has always been the spiritual pillar of the Huaquan Club, and his death will inevitably have a huge impact on the entire Huaquan Club!

"We're going to win!"

At this moment, a determined voice sounded.

Lu Gu looked up at Zhao Yan and saw the other party's eyes like steel and lava.

In a trance, he seemed to see Hou Qi again.

"We're going to win!"

Hou Qi also used to cheer everyone up again and again so firmly.

"It's like, you and the president."

Lu Gu muttered.

"No, I'm not as good as Brother Hou."

Zhao Yan shook his head.

He is not humble, but from the bottom of his heart he feels that he is inferior to the other party.

It's not just the martial arts realm, but also the spiritual will.

Zhao Yan knew that the final historical trend of this mission world would be close to the history of the real world, and he knew that the final victory was inevitable, so he could firmly say something like 'I will definitely win'.

But Hou Qi doesn't know history, and he doesn't know what the final result will be.

But Hou Qi has never wavered!

Only the knife is clear, and the heart is not easy!

This is the words that Hou Qi gave to Zhao Yan, and it is also the key to Zhao Yan's ability to break through to Danjin.

He looked at the demoralized Huaquan Club people in front of him and made a decision in his heart.

Hou Qi chose to die in battle, but some things were not done.
