106. Chapter 106
Outside the cave of the Desperate Valley, the big lion guarded it quietly, and his brown-black eyes swept towards the Desperate Valley from time to time, always on the lookout for any illegal incursions!
In the cave, two old and one young sat around the campfire, and when everyone sat down, Du Long asked with a serious face: "Grandpa, can you tell your grandson about all the circumstances of Uncle Liutang?"
Old Man Du was stunned by his question, and said in confusion: "Your sixth cousin is the son of your grandfather's late cousin Du Fengyun, don't you remember these circumstances?!"
"Grandchildren naturally know about these situations, and grandchildren just want to know if grandpa remembers the major events related to the sixth cousin more than forty years ago, and how did cousin Du Fengyun die back then?!" Du Long explained.
"More than forty years ago?!" Du Fengzhong looked at the bonfire with deep eyes and muttered: "More than forty years ago, my cousin Du Fengyun was the commander of the Zhenwei Legion! Although he was nearly forty years old but had never married, suddenly one day, a woman came to the door with a six-year-old boy, saying that this boy was the biological son of Fengyun's cousin! and took out a piece of evidence, and my cousin Fengnan immediately cried bitterly when he saw the evidence, and then claimed Zhennan back!"
"This ...... What the hell is going on?!Uncle Cousin recognized a biological son with just one piece of physical evidence?Where is Uncle Six's biological mother?Where is the woman who brought him back?!" Du Long asked one after another in some incredulity.
Although he was full of questions about Du Long, Old Man Du continued to explain according to the curiosity in his heart: "Back then, we all thought it was incredible, and asked Cousin Fengyun what was going on! According to him, a few years ago, he led his troops to Xining County to recruit a gang of bandits, and he had an intersection with a certain woman who was imprisoned in the bandit army's cottage! That token was indeed the ornament he gave to the woman in the first place!"
"As for the woman who led Zhennan back, after Cousin Fengyun gave some money and gifts, she didn't know where she went!"
"Grandpa!" Du Long said anxiously: "Could it be that Uncle Fengyuntang has never suspected the identity of Uncle Liutang? Where is Uncle Liutang's biological mother? Why is it that an unknown woman sent Uncle Liutang back to Du's Mansion?!"
"It is said that Zhennan's biological mother died of illness, and he was sent to Du Mansion by a kind woman from the same township, plus his appearance is similar to Fengyun's cousin, Fengyun's cousin felt that this was his biological son at a glance, so he recognized each other as father and son!"
"Also, how did Uncle Fengyuntang die?!" Du Long thought for a moment and continued to ask.
"More than twenty years ago, the Blue Moon Empire committed a border, and Cousin Fengyun was ordered to lead the army to meet the enemy, and finally the army was defeated and died on the battlefield, so Zhennan took over from his father and took charge of the Zhenwei Legion!"
"This is too coincidental, isn't it?!" Du Long's eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint cold light appeared.
"Zhennan has been carefully taught by Fengyun's cousin since he was a child, not only is he superhuman in martial arts, but he is also very talented in military cultivation, and Fengyun's cousin let him enter the Zhenwei Legion early on! With his exploits again and again, he rose all the way, and finally won the position of the commander of the Zhenwei Legion, which is well deserved! This is not a coincidence!" Old Man Du continued to explain.
"Grandpa, is there a detailed battle report on the battle in which Uncle Fengyuntang died?"
"Yes! In Grandpa's study, there is a copy of this battle report in the third compartment in the upper right corner! You take Grandpa's order letter and take it yourself!" Old Man Du directly agreed to Du Long's request without thinking about it, and handed over a piece of Lingxin jade talisman.
In the past, his battle report would never be touched by Du Long casually, and his grandson's recent performance had obviously been recognized by the old man, and he would gradually begin to cultivate him to contact some important matters of the family!
"Grandpa Xie!" Du Long said happily as he took the Lingxin Jade Fu.
"Okay!" Old Man Du sat up straight and said with a serious face: "Stinky boy, you should also tell grandpa, why do you ask these things? Could it be that you have found something? It has something to do with Zhennan?!"
Du Long also replied with a solemn face: "Grandpa! I met Uncle Liutang at the Tianlong Hotel today, and he actually sat in the same private room with Zuo Xiang Fan De and others for a banquet!"
"Just because of this, you think there's something wrong with Zhennan?!"
"Out of curiosity! I managed to listen to their conversation in a way that would never be detected!" Dulong continued.
Old Man Du's eyes lit up, but he still said in disbelief: "How is this possible! Zuo Xiang Fan De, this kid has an unfathomable city mansion, since he is discussing major matters with the officials of this department at the Tianlong Hotel, it is impossible to let outsiders get close and eavesdrop on the content of their conversation!"
"Grandpa! I beg your pardon for how you heard this, my grandson wants to keep this secret for the time being, and I can't tell you the specific method! But you still have to believe your grandson's words, I did listen to their conversation!"
"Well, grandpa won't ask you how you used to monitor Zuo Xiang's gang, but you should tell grandpa about what they discussed!"
So, Du Long began to tell everything he heard, the more he said, the tighter Old Man Du's brows wrinkled, and the information that Du Long heard really made the old general of the Haotian Empire both shocked and angry in his heart!
"These bastards of the Fan family! Sure enough, there is no good intention, if these circumstances are true, then they are clearly preparing to rebel!" After listening to Du Long's story, Old Man Du couldn't help but scold angrily.
"Grandpa, even if the Fan family's plan is implemented, it will take several years to come to fruition, but there is a cancer within our Du family, and we have to find a way to solve it as soon as possible!" Du Long couldn't help but analyze.
"That's right!" Old Man Du nodded and replied: "Militarily, there are some situations that you are not very clear, the total number of loyal military legions under our control is 200,000, and the Zhenwei Legion controlled by Du Zhennan was originally only 100,000, if the information you provide is accurate, then they will also reach 200,000 in three years!"
"You must know! The Zhenwei Legion is actually the reserve legion of our Loyal Legion, and the Loyal Legion is stationed in the strategically important Chilong Gorge! The Zhenwei Legion is stationed in Tiemu County behind the Chilong Gorge!"
"Once our loyal army in Chilong Gorge starts a war with the Blue Moon Empire in front, we will definitely mobilize the Zhenwei legion in the rear to come to help, if the Zhenwei legion comes to the nest, it will be under the enemy's back, then our loyal legion will be in danger!"
"Since grandpa won the Chilong Gorge Heavenly Insurance, the evil wolf of the Blue Moon Empire has been thinking about it all day long, with the Red Dragon Gorge Natural Insurance, even if they transfer a million troops, they don't want to get a little cheap in our hands!"
"Who would have thought that they would actually come up with such a far-reaching plan, wanting to start from within us, so that they can take the Red Dragon Gorge without bloodshed, once the Red Dragon Gorge is lost, our Haotian Empire will face the millions of elite iron horses of the Blue Moon Empire!"
Old Man Du explained in such detail, obviously he began to prepare to cultivate his good grandson with his heart!
"Grandpa, how to deal with the problem of Uncle Liutang can only be handed over to you for the time being, depending on the situation, the Fan family has dealings with the Beilin Chamber of Commerce, one of the three major chambers of commerce in the Star Continent, and the Beilin Chamber of Commerce obviously has something to do with the Blue Moon Empire, if the Blue Moon Empire really has worked hard for decades in our Haotian Empire, it cannot be ruled out that the Fan family is colluding with the Blue Moon Empire!" Du Long analyzed again.
"That's right! The old emperor also noticed some clues, otherwise, how could your marriage with Princess Huofeng be so easy to succeed? Obviously, the imperial family has begun to unite all the forces that can be united!"
Old Man Du couldn't help but sigh lightly at the end: "Alas! If it weren't for the existence of a spirit level in the Fan family, things wouldn't have become so tricky! Now that I think about it, when Old Man Fan was able to break through to the spirit level, it was obviously a benefit from the Blue Moon Empire, otherwise, how could their family be able to break through the spirit level exercises?!"
"Grandpa! The existence of the spirit level, is it really so terrifying? Didn't the Emperor Taishang also reach the strength of the spirit level early in the morning? Why are you still afraid of that old monster of the Fan family?!" Du Long wondered.
"Child! Spirit level existence, can fly with a sword, in an army of millions, it is not a problem to take the head of the enemy's main general, back then, my cousin Du Fengyun was killed by a sudden attack of a saint-level master! Just imagine, if a spirit level master goes crazy, how many descendants of the entire royal family can escape their pursuit?!" Old man Du sighed with a look of hope.
"Uncle Tang was killed by a spirit level existence?!" Du Long was shocked: "Isn't there anything we say here?!If all countries send spirit level masters to kill the other party's main generals at will, then this battle will not be able to be fought!"
"You're right! Later, our side also sent a spirit level master, or the old monster of the Fan family, and he also killed the other two master generals as revenge!"
"That's right, Grandpa, how are you doing with the set of exercises that your grandson gave you? When will you be able to achieve a breakthrough?!" Talking about this topic, Du Long remembered this important matter.
"It's hard to say! I already feel the membrane that broke through the spirit level, and now the difference is a kick in the door, if it's fast, it can break through in a few days, and if it's slow, it's hard to say in a year and a half!" Old Man Du muttered.
"Oh!" Du Long nodded and replied in response, then continued: "Grandpa! Grandson is going to the territory of Fengli County with the famous craftsman Ou Yezi tomorrow, do you have anything you need to order?!"
"Famous craftsman Ou Yezi?!" Old Man Du roared as if his eyes were about to pop out.
"Yes, the famous craftsman Ou Yezi, he is now his grandson's man, I asked him to take charge of the affairs of the arsenal in the territory! I also summoned all the high-ranking disciples under him!" Du Long nodded and said as a matter of course.
"This ...... This ......" Old Man Du was a little dumbfounded and said, "This is true?!"
"Hehe, how could a grandson use such a thing to make grandpa happy?
He ...... His stubborn old man, even the emperor himself may not be able to invite him, you ...... How did you do that?!" Old Man Du still said in disbelief.
"It's nothing! It just so happened that Sun Er accidentally got some rare weapon construction diagrams, and when he saw it, he immediately decided to follow Sun Er to the territory and do his best to help produce these weapons!" Du Long roughly explained.
"Oh! I see, this is still possible, that stubborn old man is only interested in forging, presumably the weapon structure diagram you took out is very novel, otherwise, you will definitely not be able to attract this stubborn old man!" Old man Du suddenly realized.
"Hehe! That's right, but for the time being, these weapons are top secrets, and when they come to the battlefield of confrontation with the Blue Moon Empire in the future, we must let them compensate for the damage of our Haotian Empire!" Du Long sneered.
"Haha! Then grandpa is ready to wait, that's right! You are now the governor of the Zhengwupin Xiao cavalry, and the emperor has also allowed you to establish a 10,000-strong cavalry army! It is estimated that there is a lack of trustworthy middle and high-level generals, and grandpa will arrange for a team of officers to come to Fengli County to find you! These people are the descendants of grandpa's old subordinates, and they are definitely trustworthy, and you have any secret things, just leave them in charge!"
