Chapter XVII

In Zhao Xuanxin's opinion, even if Yunyi is given three months, it is difficult for a strong man. No matter how good a person's talent is, no matter how hard they cultivate, they will never be able to break through so quickly.

But now, with his familiarity with Zoro, it is impossible for Zoro to make such a joke, let alone at this time.

Yun Yi immediately said, "Yes, Uncle Zoro. Just an hour ago, I had just broken through. ”

"Really broke through the ......" Zhao Xuanxin looked at Yun Yi in amazement, it seemed that there was always something like a miracle happening in him.

"Providence...... Zoro smiled happily and said, "Okay, Yunyi, Your Royal Highness the Princess will be handed over to you, and I will always be by Her Majesty's side." ”

Hearing this, the Empress, Zhao Xuanxin, and Yun Yi were all about to speak, but they heard Zoro say: "You don't need to say much, you have all seen that Yun Yi has successfully broken through to the middle of the eighth level, and his strength has far surpassed mine. And some time ago, I have taught everything I have learned to Yunyi. Although he is still young, I believe that it will not be long before he will achieve something that will shock the world. This task is definitely more suitable than giving it to me! ”

After the empress and Zhao Xuanxin were silent for a while, neither spoke.

Yun Yi was full of doubts and couldn't help asking, "That...... What is the task? ”

"Alas......" Zhao Xuanxin sighed and said, "Now I think you have seen the situation." I don't know where the government troops got the location of the base and attacked us in a big way. The last fleet of the Empire has been completely sacrificed, and even if we rely on the defense of the royal fleet and bases, we will not be able to stop the attack of the government army. ”

Yun Yi nodded blankly, the current base, there is no longer a trace of strength to resist the government's attack, even if he immediately enters the innate level now, facing nearly 10,000 warships, it is impossible to defeat.

"Therefore, in order to preserve the last trace of the bloodline of the Zhao Song Empire, our original idea was to let Zoro take Her Royal Highness the princess and flee the country while the government army has not yet arrived. But now the situation, you also see it...... Sauron has given you this only hope of life. ”

"This ......" Yun Yi was a little shocked, but he immediately came back to his senses, turned around and strode out, and said without looking back: "Lord Zhao, I'll go and prepare the mecha and report to the Huangtian ......"

"Stop!"

Yun Yi stopped suddenly, his eyes were already moist.

"You think you're brave enough to do this? Proud to die generously? Proud to die under the artillery of government troops? ”

"Coward! Indeed, it takes courage to die. However, what requires more courage than death is to still look up to the sky and laugh in the face of hundreds of millions of invincible enemies, live proudly and bravely, and give the enemy a fierce knife when he is defenseless! This is the real hero, Yunyi, do you dare? ”

Listening to Zoro's mocking voice, Yun Yi couldn't hold back any longer, and tears flowed down his eyes.

Stimulated by the necklace, his intelligence and analytical abilities have long been far beyond ordinary people, and how can he not tell that this is just Sauron's agitation method. However, the excitement in Zoro's voice and the spirit of seeing death as if he were at home made his heart tremble, and he couldn't bear to refuse Zoro.

Seeing that Yun Yi stopped and didn't move after listening to Sauron's words, Zhao Xuanxin knew that he was more or less willing to accept this order.

Then, Zhao Xuanxin pulled the little girl to his side, stroked her long black hair that reached her calves, and said with a kind face: "Come here, Yunyi, this is Princess Xiyue, you can get to know each other." Xiyue, this is Yunyi, you have to listen to him well in the future. ”

Princess Xiyue opened her big dark and bright eyes, looked at the young man in front of her curiously, and said in a sweet voice, "Yunyi, hello." Can I play with Shioduki in the future? ”

“…… Brother, play with me......"

The sweet voice of the little sister seemed to echo in his ears, Yun Yi's body shook, as if he wanted to turn back, at this moment, his heart was swaying, and he was making a difficult choice between death and escape.

Zhao Xuanxin saw that he didn't move, sighed, walked to Yun Yi's side, pulled him in front of the little girl and said, "The existence of Princess Xiyue is a secret in the entire base, and no one knows about it except for the four of us. ”

Hearing Zhao Xuanxin's words, Yun Yi was stunned. No wonder I didn't know about the existence of the princess, it turned out that the empress and Zhao Xuanxin didn't tell everyone the news. So, has this child only seen these three people in his life?

There are not many palace maids in the palace, and there are no extra palace maids who will be killed because of secrecy, so it is Her Majesty the Empress who has always taken care of this child personally.

"Yunyi, can you play with Xiyue?"

The immature voice sounded in his ears, looking at the little girl's somewhat pitiful eyes because of anticipation, the string on Yun Yi's heart was plucked in an instant, this poor child, speaking of which, was even more pitiful than himself. In any case, before the age of eight, there are parents, relatives, friends, and classmates to play with, and after the age of eight, there are also soldiers of the Restoration Army to take care of, and there are children of the same age as him, no matter what, he will not feel lonely.

If his sister is still alive in the world, is she as lonely as this girl?

At this time, what other options does he have?

Yun Yi raised his head violently and said loudly: "I am willing to accept this order, please tell me how to do it!" ”

The Empress, Zhao Xuanxin, and Zoro all had smiles on their faces. But in Yun Yi's eyes, no matter how you look at it, that smile is like a sad and bitter smile.

The empress was very reluctant to give up her daughter, and while taking a necklace from her slender neck and hanging it around Princess Xiyue's neck, she pulled her and told with tears in her eyes. Although Xiyue didn't understand her mother's explanation, she still listened very carefully. Seeing her mother's tears, she didn't know why, so she cried out.

Here, Zhao Xuanxin was handing over some things to Yun Yi.

"This is the royal genealogy of the Zhao and Song Empires, this is the jade seal of the empire, this is the scepter that symbolizes the throne, this is the ...... I hope you can keep it well and give it to Princess Shigetsu when she grows up. In addition......"

After Zhao Xuanxin handed over a large number of things to Yun Yi, he hesitated for a moment, but still said: "I need you to swear that no matter what time and no matter what the situation is, you will not give up Princess Xiyue and raise her." ”

Yun Yi made an oath without thinking, for him, it was the Zhao Song Empire that gave him everything, even if he went to die, he would move forward generously, how could he be afraid of an oath.

"You still need to swear an oath...... this time Zhao Xuanxin's face was serious, and his voice was stern: "I need you to swear that in this life, you will wipe out the Iserras government, kill the president of the Isseras government, Zagu, establish the Zhao Song Empire, and make Princess Xiyue or her descendants the emperor!" ”
