Yang Luochen poured Li Jin a full glass of wine, and drank a glass himself, Li Jin suddenly asked, "Do you know who the person I am most afraid of is?"

Yang Luochen thought for a while and returned: "Is it still my grandfather?"

Li Jin shook his head and said, "No, what I'm most afraid of is you."

Yang Luochen was stunned for a moment, and Li Jin continued: "Your grandfather has no ambitions, his greatest wish is to maintain the stability of Yunguo, neither asking for merit nor being proud."

"It is said that your Yang family is the patron saint of the Yun Kingdom, but in fact, the patron saint of the Yun Kingdom is only your grandfather Yang Tian, and he is the one who is truly loyal to the Yun Kingdom."

"I also know your father too well, he is a general, a rare general, but he doesn't know how to be an official, he is straightforward, and his personality is strong, if he can't meet a monarch who fully trusts him, sooner or later he will be framed by others"

"Your two uncles have the same temper as your father, and they have the courage of ten thousand husbands, but they are far worse than your grandfather, and they were only persecuted by the five great families in southern Xinjiang back then."

"My father knows these things, and I know it, but none of us can touch the five great families, and your grandfather also knows that he doesn't dare to touch the five great families."

"Peace is very difficult, and no one wants to break it, especially those who have experienced war, and an emperor like me who seeks to prosper."

"Your grandfather has been suffering for a lifetime, and he has worked hard to stabilize the situation in Yunguo until your birth, which has become the biggest variable."

"I'm afraid of you, because the more you grow, the more I find that you are powerful, and your talents exceed the imagination of all people, including me"

"I did everything possible to support the Ye family, but I just wanted to balance your Yang family, set up a strong rival for you, and make you dare not have two hearts, but I underestimated your talent"

"The two boys of the Ye family, Ye Xuan and Ye Ming are not as good as you combined, and those princes of mine can't find a person who can control you."

"Not only did you make me afraid, but even the five great families and the Ye family were very afraid, so I pushed the boat down the river and held you high, becoming the youngest king with a different surname in the history of the Yun Kingdom."

Li Jin said this, looked at Yang Luochen, his face was a little apologetic, and he handed over the wine glass in his hand, and Yang Luochen poured Li Jin full of wine.

"Speaking of this, I'm really ashamed, I didn't want to mention it all my life, but I can't help but tell you today"

After Li Jin finished speaking, he drank it all, Yang Luochen poured him full again, and said slowly: "These are all things in the past, I also figured it out later, so that the Yang family went into hiding, and it was too tiring to be stirred in the whirlpool of power all day long."

"As for the grievances with the five great families and the Ye family, I don't want to take revenge, and I know that my grandfather doesn't want me to take revenge, which is very bad for the situation in Yunguo."

Li Jin exhaled a breath of turbidity, looked at the sky and said, "This is also what I didn't expect, you Yang Luochen would actually choose to let go of your grudge and then retire, this has something to do with the trial of the White Cloud Sect."

Yang Luochen nodded, and Li Jin continued: "Sometimes I also think, how good it would be if you were my son, or when you marry Ling'er, you can be like your grandfather, loyal to Yunguo."

"Or, if I really hand over the Yun Kingdom to you, it will be a blessing for the people of the Yun Kingdom, but I am sorry for the ancestors of the Ouyang family, and there is still a choice for you to disappear"

After Li Jin said this, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and he suddenly became much older, and the majesty on his body was gone.

At this moment, standing beside Yang Luochen was a general named Li Jin, evaluating Ouyang Jin's past as a bystander.

"That former Cloud Kingdom Saint King Ouyang Jin is really dead," Yang Luochen thought to himself.

Li Jin showed a wry smile on his face, and then said: "Being in that position, sometimes the thoughts are really terrible, there is no one to trust, and there is no one to talk to."

"I always thought that only your Aunt Fen knew about the little actions I did, because she knew me too well, and in the years you were missing, your Aunt Fen didn't want to see me at all, and she regarded me as an enemy"

"Later, I found out that everyone knew that I had become that self-righteous fool, if it weren't for my acquiescence, the five great families wouldn't have had the courage to move you."

"It is precisely because of my acquiescence that your grandfather and father do not dare to trouble them openly, but can only secretly find your whereabouts"

"Later, I regretted it, so I secretly supported your Yang Family's Meteorite Pavilion, and also gave your Blood Shadow Guard the official title, so that they could act conveniently when they were looking for you."

"After you came back, I became scared again, I was afraid that you would know the truth, that you would take revenge by any means, that you would take the world of Yunguo"

"But you didn't do anything, as if none of this had ever happened, you made me unable to see through, and the more I couldn't see through, the more scared I became"

Hearing this, Yang Luochen toasted with Li Jin and said slowly: "I seem to be able to understand a little, but I can't fully understand. I don't have to think about the past anymore, and I don't want to be an emperor at all."

Li Jin smiled with relief and returned: "I also drank too much today, and people are also old, and when people are old, they like to talk about some past events, you are right, what do you mention about the past?"

The two of them stood quietly in the pavilion drinking wine, and after a long time, Yang Luochen asked, "I heard that Uncle Meng Zhan passed away?"

Li Jin returned a little angrily: "It's a fart, he is alive and well, it's in your Yang family, and he ran away after handing over the matter here to me."

Yang Luochen was stunned, and Li Jin explained the reason, Yunjing, where Li Jin and his wife had fled, contacted the Yang family, and then followed the Yang family to the west.

After coming to Huayang Kingdom, he was blocked, and Li Jin had no choice but to take out his previous belongings and hand them to the officers here, asking them to take them to Meng Zhan.

As soon as Meng Zhan saw Ouyang Jin's token, he hurriedly came to greet him, and found that it was actually the Yang family's team, so he privately let the Yang family's people pass through Huayang Pass.

Li Jin and his wife have been living in the Yang family since then, and later Ouyang Tianyou succeeded to the throne and quietly asked people to write to Li Jin, asking him to assist Meng Zhan in defending Huayang Pass.

Li Jin didn't want to, he also wanted to live a comfortable life, but Ouyang Tianyou pleaded in every way, and Li Jin also loved this son, so he agreed.

Meng Zhan saw that the former emperor had become his deputy general, and the outsiders were still the same as the previous generals, and he was respectful to Li Jin when no one was around, which was really awkward.

Later, Meng Zhan came up with a plan to get out, first pretending to be sick, then pretending to be dead, holding a funeral for himself, writing a suicide note to Ouyang Tianyou, and giving up his position to Li Jin.

Li Jin knew that Meng Zhan wanted to run, but he didn't stop him, and he also knew Meng Zhan's difficulties, so he naturally took over the position of General Huayangguan.

Yang Luochen heard the whole thing, and with a wry smile, Li Jin scolded: "It's really unrighteous, just tell him to treat each other as brothers, and I have to pretend to be dead to walk, am I so difficult to get along with?"

"No one else came to help me, followed your father everywhere, your Aunt Fen saw that I was pitiful, so she came to accompany me, saying that she was accompanying me, but in fact, she was here to play, and she would definitely leave when she got tired of playing."

Yang Luochen didn't say much, he really didn't know what to say, so he could only quietly listen to Li Jin's whining while drinking with him.

After Li Jin finished complaining, Yang Luochen then asked: "What is the 200,000 Yuntian Legion in Huayang Pass defending against here? I have never heard of any battles on this side, and I have never seen any movement of the Yuntian Legion."

Li Jin drank a glass of wine and said slowly: "The Yuntian Legion in Huayang Pass is guarding the western border of Yunguo, you haven't heard of a war here, that's because the war here can't be known to the world at all."

"It's like many people know about the existence of Black Cliff, but very few people know about the existence of barbarians. The situation in this Huayang Pass is similar to that of Wangmo City, and the things that are resisted are also not visible."

Yang Luochen was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly asked: "Could it be that there are demons outside Huayang Pass?"

Li Jin shook his head and returned: "No, those things are very strange, shaped like the size of a hunting dog, the whole body is dark, the scales and armor of the whole body are as hard as iron, and there are several sharp blades on the back."

"Strong limbs, sharp claws, broken gold and sharpened iron, sharp teeth, fed with gold, stones, plants and trees, we call them iron-eating beasts"

"The strength of this iron-eating beast is not strong, and it is the strength of the average Xuan-rank martial artist, and the highest strength found at present is the level of the lower-level martial artist of the Heavenly Rank, but there are many of them, and the destructive power is very strong."

"Every winter, the earth is covered with ice and snow, and the iron-eating beasts have nothing to eat, so they will attack Huayang Pass on a large scale and feed on people."

"The soldiers of the Yuntian Legion are all children who have lived here for generations, and the emperors of the Yunguo Kingdom have not used the Yuntian Legion in the past, just to prevent the iron-eating beasts from entering the hinterland of the Yunguo."

Yang Luochen didn't expect that there were still such creatures here, and then asked, "How many iron-eating beasts are there?"

Li Jin replied: "At present, it is more than 200,000 people, they are afraid of fire, and using fire is the most effective method, as long as there is fire, the scale armor on those iron-eating beasts is useless."

When Yang Luochen heard Li Jin say this, he really wanted to see this kind of iron-eating beast, it was really a big world, and there were no surprises.

Li Jin looked at Yang Luochen's curiosity, and said with a smile: "If you want to see those iron-eating beasts, go out of Huayang Pass and go west, and you will see them in the Misty Mountain, where they gather."

"By the way, if you want to go back to the Yang family, go to the northwest after leaving Huayang Pass, the Yang family is not in the territory of the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Western Regions, but at the junction of Gale, Yun and the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Western Regions."

"There is a fertile land there, it is unclaimed land, and all the people of the Yang family live there, and when you leave, I will find you an experienced guide and take you there."

Yang Luochen thanked him, Li Jin waved his hand very casually, and the two fell into silence again, and after a while, Li Jin suddenly asked: "The Yingchuan Sacred Mountain collapsed last night, did you make it?"

Yang Luochen said a little embarrassed: "That, I didn't know that it would bring such a big consequence here, causing the fertile land here to be flooded by the Yingchuan River, and I have to replant it."

Li Jin shook his head and returned: "This is a trivial matter, the grain stored in Huayang Pass is enough for the people here to eat for three years, as long as the iron-eating beast is blocked, the wind and rain will be smooth in the coming year, and everything will return to normal."

"What I don't understand is that inside that sacred mountain is your temple, and it is also your idol enshrined, why did you push it there? Last night, your Aunt Fen wanted to go over and have a look, but I stopped her."

"The mountain collapsed and the ground cracked, the river swelled, the roar was like thunder, and the momentum was soaring to the sky, thinking about it, I knew that it was the person who cultivated the truth and was fighting, but what I didn't expect was that the person who fought was actually you"

Yang Luochen said the truth of the matter, and Li Jin smiled bitterly after hearing it: "I have been to that temple, the incense is very prosperous, but I didn't expect that there are not only demons in it, but also evil demons, and it can be regarded as a benefit to one party."

"I only hope that the people of Yingchuan can learn a lesson from this, and stop making this kind of tragic sacrifice, as for the demon cultivator you mentioned, maybe it will be in Huayang Pass, maybe it has entered the sixteen countries of the Western Regions to the west."

"You don't have to worry about this, if he really does something here, I'll send someone to report to Tianyou and let the people of the White Cloud Sect take care of it."

Yang Luochen nodded, Li Jin looked at Yang Luochen's eyes very kindly, and with a slight smile, Li Jin asked: "When will you and Ling'er get married?"

Yang Luochen's face was slightly red, he poured Li Jin full of wine, and said: "When I finish my worldly affairs, I will go to Baiyun Sect to propose marriage to Ling'er Master Xinnuo Fairy, at least three years, and at most five years."
