Chapter 45: The Truth

The funeral of the eldest brother was grand, because he was a hero who died on the battlefield after a hundred battles.

So he was respected by all the people in the world.

The funeral specifications that our emperor's father organized for him are second only to those after the emperor's death, and he has the honor to accompany the burial of the imperial tomb!

It can be said that the eldest brother's death is extremely glorious, and he got everything he wanted.

The corpse of the battlefield is returned, this may be the long-cherished wish of the eldest brother.

Life can be short but not mediocre, and a wonderful life may be the pursuit of the eldest brother's life!

But in my opinion, no matter how grand the scale of a person's funeral, no matter how much glory he gets?

A dead man is a dead man, and nothing can be felt but eternal darkness.

My outlook on life is completely different from that of my eldest brother, and the life I want to live is leisurely and even a little lazy.

Now that the state affairs are difficult, the offensive of the Hu people outside the territory in the west is in full swing, and more than 100,000 golden wolf troops in the north have opened the door to the south and may go south to herd horses at any time.

The Qingfeng Dynasty is in danger of overthrowing the country if it is not careful.

The death of my eldest brother changed my outlook on life, and his ending made me realize the cruel nature of the world hidden under false prosperity, that is, whoever has a hard enough fist will have meat to eat, and whoever is weak will be eaten.

This is a world of the jungle, if you want to survive in this world, you must master strong power, and the eldest brother is just not strong enough so he died in the hands of others.

It was late at night, and the howling wind outside the Wuying Hall was mixed with snowflakes and fluttered between heaven and earth.

I stood by my brother's coffin and watched the flickering candle flame silently, today is my eldest brother's twenty-sixth birthday, of course I will accompany him through this last birthday.

You can't celebrate your birthday without alcohol!

I was holding a wine glass in my hand, and there were three wine glasses in front of the coffin, and the wine in the glasses was clear and strong!

The wine is the eldest brother's favorite Liucheng Yaki, and this wine has no characteristics except for being strong!

A glass of wine seems to burn all over the place.

Today's eldest brother is the master, so I accompany him to drink my favorite Yanagi grill!

A few glasses of strong wine poured into my stomach, and I glanced out of the hall in a drunken haze.

At the entrance of the temple, the four guards with knives stood still like statues with a murderous aura, and their bodies were covered with snowflakes.

These four people are four of the sixty-five who survived the battle with their eldest brother.

The eldest brother's Shadow Knife was on the waist of one of them.

Why did Big Brother's saber appear on one of the guards?

As I looked at the snow-covered guards, the nerves in my head seemed to throb.

My keen sense seemed to sense the resentment beneath the guard's calm face!

He's angry! Why is he so angry?

I stood up and walked out of the hall with a wine glass, and a chill that penetrated my bones instantly filled my whole body, which made my wine a little sober!

"Who are you?" I asked, walking up to him.

"My name is Wang Dachuan," a hoarse voice with a slight metal grinding sound popped out of his mouth.

"Rider from the Cavalry Battalion?" I asked.

"No, I'm the guide of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion," Wang Dachuan replied.

"The guide of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion?" I wonder if his identity is not a soldier but a guide who leads the way, doesn't the garrison of Canglong Ridge have long eyes?

Such a strong figure does not recruit to serve in the army, and allows him to live among the people, and the Qingfeng Dynasty has so many talents that it can be wasted at will?

"Why is my eldest brother's saber on you?" I continued to ask, pressing the question in my mind.

"The prince told me to escort him home with a knife"

"Where were you when Big Brother died?"

"I was right next to him, and I was one of the seven people left in the Cavalry Camp at the time."

This person was actually one of the seven survivors of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and only seven people were left alive in the entire Xiao Cavalry Battalion, except for the fifty-eight people who first set off to Tulong Gou.

"So you should know how my eldest brother died?"

My breathing changed slightly, and before I knew it, it was much heavier!

"The prince died in my arms" Wang Dachuan's voice also seemed to change.

This man knows the truth about the death of his eldest brother, and he knows everything I want to know.

I remained silent, staring at the snow falling in the night sky for a long time.

Halfway through the night, the crowing of a rooster could be heard in the distance.

I withdrew my gaze from the night and turned my head to stare at Wang Dachuan beside me.

"Wang Dachuan" There was a hint of the majesty of the superior in my voice, because the next question was very important to me.

"Subordinates are here" Wang Dachuan straightened his body that was already as upright as a javelin, and a large ice edge slipped from his armor and fell into the snow, smashing countless tiny snow pits.

"The next thing I'm going to ask is very important," I spat out word by word, "I'll answer after I think about it."

"General Nangong has issued a military order, and there is nothing to say about military secrets," Wang Dachuan also replied word by word.

"If I ask for top-secret information, you can keep quiet," I said.

"Obey," Wang Dachuan said, "I will directly refuse to answer"

"Did you know the true identity of Big Brother before he died?" I asked.

"I don't know," Wang Dachuan replied quickly, "We know from the enemy that he is the prince of the dynasty."

"Enemy?" I asked, "the enemy who killed the eldest brother, the troops of the Miscellaneous Hu Alliance, or is it someone else?"

"Kunlun Ding's Dharma Protector True Celestial Phenomenon" Wang Dachuan said: "It was he who blocked our retreat at a critical moment, so that our retreat plan was in vain"

"Has General Nangong arranged for someone to pick you up?" I asked.

"Yes," Wang replied.

"Which unit is arranged?" I asked, "who is the leader?"

"Not our people," Wang Dachuan replied.

"Who's that?" my voice was metallic.

"I didn't hear that," Wang Dachuan's tone was very hard, and he didn't seem to care about my status as a prince at all.

"Since someone has answered you, why did the eldest brother die in an extraterritorial?" I continued to ask, I didn't care about Wang Dachuan's toughness at all!

"The people who came to pick us up ran away after a fight with the celestial phenomena at Kunlun Peak," Wang Dachuan said.

"Did the celestial phenomena win?"

"There is no distinction between winners and losers"

"Why didn't he take you away?"

"I don't know"

"Very good"

A good thing means sometimes it's bad.

I patted Wang Dachuan on the shoulder to signal that our conversation was over.

I turned around and walked into the Wuying Hall to continue to guard the spirit of my eldest brother, and Wang Dachuan turned into a statue and guarded outside the hall.

Everything went back to the way it was, as if nothing had happened between us, I didn't go out of the temple to ask questions, and he didn't answer any of my questions!

The eldest brother's angry shadow knife still hangs on Wang Dachuan's waist, I forgot to let him return it, and Wang Dachuan also forgot to return the knife to its real owner.

Kunlun top, Kunlun top!

A dominant Xiuzhen sect actually put down his body and sent the Dharma Protector in the sect to intercept and kill an ordinary prince, what ulterior motives do you have to take my eldest brother's life to carry on?

Fengming Mountain?

That's how you treat your allies? My eldest brother is also the eldest prince of the Qingfeng Dynasty, strictly speaking, he is the second person in the dynasty except for the emperor, you give up when you say give up, are we ordinary people in the mortal world really ants in your eyes?
