Chapter 106: Decision
"Your father?" Han Xiao looked at Pang Ying in surprise, and after realizing his faux pas, he immediately laughed dryly and said, "Well, thinking about it this way, you look very similar, Ling Tang must have been a beautiful man when he was young, hahaha." ”
Pang Ying didn't have any change in expression, and said very calmly: "Five years ago, Emperor Tianhua organized an expedition to the ruins of the gods and demons battlefield, and our Pang family is a powerful family after all, so naturally we also sent monks to join the expeditionary force this time, and even the one who led the team that time was our ancestor of the Pang family." It's just that the battle in the ruins of the gods and demons battlefield is too dangerous after all, and the Tianhua Emperor doesn't know what he wants to do, so he actually traveled at least a million miles with the expeditionary force. ”
Listening to what Pang Ying said, Han Xiao and King Zhuge were secretly speechless, and they had to admit that it was still the people of the Huating Empire who dared to play, and the Tianhua Emperor personally was able to kill millions of miles into the ruins of the gods and demons battlefield, and such a big deal would definitely not be seen in the Tianning Kingdom.
Pang Ying paused and continued: "When the battle reached the final stage, in fact, many people in the expeditionary force were already reaching their limit, and at the most critical moment, an army of Void Beasts rushed into our Pang family's station. Coincidentally, those Void Beasts were attacking in the direction that my father was defending, and as a result, because of the loss of the defensive line, my Pang family ancestor was seriously injured in that battle, and if it wasn't for the last attack of Emperor Tianhua, our Pang family's expeditionary force would have to lose at least more than eighty percent. ”
"There is no way to do this, who can control the situation on the battlefield? Besides, they have already rushed to millions of miles at that time, and no one dares to guarantee that they will be able to withstand the enemy's impact in that situation, even if the battle is fierce, you can't blame your father all. Han Xiao was very angry with Pang Ying, and said it with reason.
Pang Ying finally showed a wry smile, and finally said: "If you can't resist it, there's nothing to say." In that battle, my father did not organize any resistance at all, and even the news of the attack did not return to the main camp. It is precisely because the main camp has not received the slightest news of the attack at all, that there will be such heavy losses. ”
This time, after listening to Pang Ying talk about the situation at that time, Han Xiao couldn't help but have a wry smile on his face. I have to say that it is no wonder that the Pang family will do this to Pang Ying's father, and even in fact, if this kind of thing is experienced by Han Xiao himself, he would like to directly execute such a clansman. It's just a matter of escaping, and after escaping, you don't even do such a trivial thing as ventilating the news, which is really too much.
Now that Pang Ying's father is still alive, it is really a miracle to say that this is a miracle.
Just thinking of what Pang Ying said, and then thinking about what Pang Ying did, Han Xiao suddenly felt very strange. Han Xiao has never had the slightest contempt for Pang Ying because he has not fought the evil dragon, on the contrary, Han Xiao admires Pang Ying more, especially for Pang Ying's combat power. But Han Xiao has always agreed with the truth that the tiger father has no dog, but he didn't expect that this is the tiger son, but there is a dog father.
Glancing back at Elysium Island, thinking about what Pang Ying looked like when he saw his father on Elysium Island and talked to his father, Han Xiao could only shake his head slightly. From this point of view, Pang Ying's desire to get his father out of Elysium Island is really a huge project. This requires not only his own ability, but also his father's awakening. Just thinking of such a wine bag and rice bag, Han Xiao didn't think that Pang Ying could succeed.
"Where are we going next?" Don't let yourself think about Pang Ying's worries, Han Xiao asked.
Pang Ying held the rudder steadily and said, "Let's go, take you to my real territory." ”
Hearing this, Han Xiao and King Zhuge became excited. Whether it was on the Pompeii or on Elysium, the two of them actually felt very depressed, and it could be seen that Pang Ying was also depressed, and now that he could finally go to his real territory to see, it was estimated that he would be able to have a good time.
It's just that what Han Xiao didn't expect was that this trip took three days and three nights, and it was precisely because of this that Han Xiao completely understood how big the imperial capital of the Huating Empire was. Even if they were driving just a very ordinary passenger ship, even if they couldn't go all out in the channel of the imperial capital, Han Xiao still knew very well how far they had gone in the three-day voyage.
Where is this a water city, the imperial capital should actually be called a water country.
However, just as the light of dawn on the fourth day fell on the deck of the passenger ship, Han Xiao, who came out of the cabin, suddenly said to Pang Ying: "After following you to your territory, I plan to return to Tianning Kingdom first." ”
"What?" Pang Ying looked at him puzzled, and said, "The conditions I gave you are not good enough, and I will definitely give you whatever I promised you, as long as you stay and help me." ”
Han Xiao shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I have a few pounds and taels myself, I know better than anyone else. With your family background and strength, you will never lack my helper. In short, don't mention this matter too much, the imperial capital is indeed very exciting, I plan to stay here for a few more days, and then I will go back to Tianning Kingdom to have a look. If nothing else, there is still a chance that I will be back. ”
"What are you going to do back?" there is also trouble that has not been dealt with in Tianning Kingdom?" Pang Ying asked with concern.
Han Xiao continued to shake his head: "It's just to go back and fulfill a promise." ”
Now don't say that Pang Ying is puzzled, even King Zhuge can't see through what Han Xiao is thinking, but seeing that Han Xiao has been insisting, they haven't said anything more. After thinking about it, King Zhuge said very calmly: "I plan to go with Pang Ying, and I won't go back to Tianning Kingdom with you." ”
"It's good that there will be better development here. Han Xiao didn't think there was any surprise, although King Zhuge was a pirate before, he could see that he was the kind of guy who was extremely ambitious. Ambition is not a disadvantage, Han Xiao himself has ambitions. If he hadn't gone back to find Zhao Gangdan to see what the tribe he was talking about, Han Xiao wouldn't want to go back to Tianning Kingdom.
This point is actually very easy to understand, after seeing the prosperity and peculiarity of the imperial capital, the entire Tianning Kingdom gave Han Xiao a feeling as if it was a small village. In such a place, there is naturally no value to be nostalgic.
Riding the morning breeze, the passenger ship continued to sail, but Han Xiao's mind had already flown out-
Just last night, Han Xiao had a dream.
In fact, since the ocean went to sea to the Andi Sea, Han Xiao rarely had a real time to relax, especially after the battle of Tianpeng Mountain, Han Xiao's whole person was in a very nervous state. Brahma's departure, Qingpu's appearance, and the strange dream on Tianpeng Mountain all made Han Hanxiao realize that there were actually many things that must be related to him, but he couldn't find a clue yet.
However, after coming to the imperial capital, although he saw many strange things, which made Han Xiao even more excited, but after the excitement, he was naturally completely relaxed. And just last night, Han Xiao, who was completely relaxed, tried to sit and meditate idly, but he had a dream.
A dream that is so real that it seems to be my own experience. This dream, he had one when he had just started the trial in the Andi Sea, and after meeting Zhao Gangdan, he also learned from Zhao Gangdan's mouth that this dream was actually a divine revelation.
To put it bluntly, Han Xiao got another revelation. The appearance of divine revelation means that the next seed of life that truly belongs to him is also about to appear, which is also quite attractive to Han Xiao.
This time, the dream of the divine revelation was very short, and it could even be said to be simple. There is only one person in the dream, and that person is his mother. Han Xiao saw his mother in a dream again, and her mother's appearance was exactly the same as what she saw when she was young. In the Divine Apocalypse, Han Xiao's mother didn't say a word, and disappeared after only appearing for a moment, and this time the Divine Revelation was over.
Zhao Gangdan said that once you get the Divine Apocalypse, no matter how you get rid of it, it will definitely be impossible to fight against fate, and the qiē you see in the Divine Revelation will definitely happen in reality as it is, good or bad, in short, this is unavoidable.
But in this divine revelation, Han Xiao didn't see any clues except for his mother, and the place where his mother appeared was even a white world, where it seemed to be empty as if there was only light. Anyway, in Han Xiao's cognition, he still doesn't know where there is only light in this world.
It was this clueless dream that made Han Xiao decide to go back to Tianning Kingdom this morning to find Zhao Gangdan. In fact, the reason why he chose to stay in the imperial capital before was mainly because he had some taboos about the tribe that Zhao Gangdan said, and he couldn't tell why this was so. It's just that after this divine revelation, Han Xiao thinks that maybe only by going to that mysterious tribe can he get some of the answers he wants.
After meeting his mother in that dream on Tianpeng Mountain, Han Xiao became more and more convinced that his parents were not dead, but only disappeared in that naval battle.
The reason why Han Xiao can understand Pang Ying is because he understands the truth that blood is thicker than water. Pang Ying is such a strong person, but he has such a father, but even if he is burdened with such a burden, he does not complain at all, and even most of the time he presents people in an extremely optimistic state. It's not that Pang Ying is heartless, it's just because he understands that no matter how useless his father is, he is also a father, and this is an emotion that is impossible to give up.
In the same way, Han Xiao also feels the same way. Even if the memory of his parents was so blurry that he couldn't remember it clearly, as long as he thought that they might still be alive, Han Xiao couldn't convince himself to give up the urge to go to them.
Even if the road ahead is a sea of swords and fires-
Tianning Kingdom, Shuanglong City.
The day when the Imperial Navy left was getting closer and closer, and just three days ago, Situ Han had already sent someone to the Chen Mansion to inform Chen Jiao to get ready, and he might leave Shuanglong City at any time.
It has been a whole month since Han Xiao disappeared in the Andi Sea, and in this month, Chen Jiao has sent people out more than once to inquire about the news, but the result is still no news. After all, although Chen Jiao's status in the Chen family has improved a lot now, the foundation is still too thin, and now no one in the entire Tianning Kingdom knows about the situation in the Andi Sea area. Since the battle of Tianpeng Mountain, even Situ Han's kind of Cun Zài has fled from the battlefield with injuries, and even though there are many strong people with good strength in Tianning Kingdom, they have no idea to test it in the Andi Sea.
Chen Jiao suddenly stood up from the chair, Zhao Gangdan and Bai Yi on the side immediately looked at her, Zhao Gangdan asked, "What's wrong?"
"I'm going to go to Han's house to have a look. Chen Jiao said.
"Is there any news from your people?" Zhao Gangdan asked excitedly when he saw this.
Chen Jiao shook her head and said, "No, I just want to go and see if Han Xiao's third uncle is still in the Han Mansion." Didn't there be news that he was going to the Andi Sea, and if he was going to go, I was going to go with him. ”
"Are you still obsessed?" Zhao Gangdan said with some anger: "You will only make Han Xiao blame himself even more, do you know?"
"Blame yourself, blame yourself, it's better than he's already dead outside, and we don't know it yet. Chen Jiao smiled bitterly and walked out firmly.
Zhao Gangdan looked at Bai Yi, Bai Yi remained silent as always, but she finally pointed at Chen Jiao, and then immediately followed Chen Jiao out. Zhao Gangdan sighed helplessly, and could only follow out.
The recent front of the Han Mansion looks unusually clean, and it can even be said to be deserted. Although a big family like the Han family could not be too lively even in the past, it would not be as crowded as it is now. The reason why this is so is all because of Chi Songyun's contributions. Since the last time he scolded in front of the Han Mansion, but was taught a hard lesson by Han Yanfeng, instead of reining in, Chi Songyun became even more intensified.
However, Chi Songyun is not a fool, he also understands that the Song family was using him before, and to put it mildly, he was playing tricks on him. And Han Yanfeng is the kind of madman who doesn't play cards according to the routine at all, thinking about this, Chi Songyun will not let himself go out to take risks again. His approach is simple, nothing more than pressure.
In the final analysis, the person who died was the proud daughter of the Song family, and it was also the face of the Song family, although he lost a fiancée, but in fact, this loss was not a loss at all. Don't say it's a fiancée, even if it's a married wife, if she dies, she will die, so what? But the Song family is different, the incident of Song Linglan dying at the hands of Han Xiao seems to be just a fight between juniors, but because it happened on a pirate ship, and because of the intervention of a strong man like Situ Han, the meaning of this matter is not so simple.
Chi Songyun can also be regarded as the elite of the younger generation in the imperial capital, although he also has a lot of faults, but he also has shining points, in the final analysis, he is not a fool. After being in Shuanglong City for so long, he also saw the complexity of the current situation in Tianning Kingdom. Although the royal family of Tianning Kingdom still has quite good dominance, it seems that it has been declining, and for this point, many wealthy bigwigs in Tianning Kingdom are all meticulous. It is precisely because of this that the situation in Tianning Kingdom has become very delicate now.
The members of the royal family are also very aware of the decline in their strength, but this kind of thing is also difficult to make up for in a period of time, and there is no way to achieve results in a period of time, and the best way is naturally to make Tianning Kingdom chaotic. Once the giants start fighting with each other, even if the other giants don't intervene immediately, they will definitely not dare to have any conflicts at this time. Using this method to divert their attention, by the way, it is better to let the wealthy families fight, and use this kind of infighting to consume their already excess energy, which is what the royal family wants to do the most now.
But among those old monsters who can stand at the top of Tianning Kingdom, there are a few who are stupid. The tricks of the royal family are all seen by these bigwigs, so although many wealthy families in Tianning Kingdom have already had a great grudge against each other, they have no intention of making a move. This is also why the Han family was so ruthlessly calculated by the Chen family in the Andi Sea area, and in the end, the matter became over.
In this matter, the royal family nominally wants to suppress this matter, but in fact, they are also doing their best to sow discord, but it is a pity that Han Shixun, the helmsman of the Han family, is very tolerant.
Chi Songyun now saw the situation clearly, and he understood that what the royal family liked to see the most was a conflict between the wealthy families of Tianning Kingdom, and they could reap the benefits of it. But it is obvious that Han Shixun cannot start a war with the Song family because of this trivial matter, but in this matter, it is Han Xiao's fault, so as long as Chi Songyun is fierce enough and puts enough pressure on the Han family, the royal family will inevitably let the Han family give a clear explanation in order to intensify the conflict. But Han Shixun obviously couldn't turn his face, and the final result was that the Han family would definitely have to bleed once in this matter.
This is Chi Songyun's plan now, sucking blood from the Han family is one thing, and on the other hand, Chi Songyun wants to make this matter bigger, after all, he is going to return to the imperial capital with the Imperial Navy, and when the time comes, it will be an extremely beautiful thing for him to go back with such a "record".
The current Han family was forced by Chi Songyun's not very clever tricks, but it really seemed to be a bit of a dilemma, and the elders in the cloud hall would meet every once in a while, all discussing how to deal with this matter. They have already seen that it is no longer possible to solve the problem by simply blaming all the sins on Han Xiao.
Han Yanfeng has also been very upset recently, the interests of the family have always been the most concerned by the elites of the Han family, Han Yanfeng is certainly worried about Han Xiao, but when he thinks that Chi Songyun's character can seize the opportunity to knock on the Han family, his mood is even more irritable.
What made Han Yanfeng even more upset was his current physical condition, which had been delayed for a month, but the final result was that his injury could not be solved even by the ancestor, which was the biggest headache for Han Yanfeng now. Standing in the hall of clouds, listening to the moans of the elders, Han Yanfeng's mind had already flown out of the clouds.
Just when everyone was arguing, the guard suddenly walked into the hall of clouds and said respectfully: "Report, there is a messenger outside the door to meet you." ”
"Messenger?" Great Elder Han Yuzhi frowned and asked, "Where did the messenger come from?" ”
"The messenger from the imperial capital. ”
