"Brother...why...you woke up?"
Yi Xiaoling thought about countless scenarios in her mind, but she never expected that Yi Xiaodao would wake up and sit at the table alone.
Yi Xiaodao grinned: "If you've slept enough, won't you wake up naturally?"
Yi Xiaoling and Li Dingxing looked at each other. They didn't know what Yi Xiaodao's condition was now. It's even less clear whether Yi Xiaodao knows that He Yue'er has...
Seeing the two people exchanging glances, Yi Xiaodao interrupted and said, "I already know."
"!"
"!"
"Brother, you already... know about Sister Yue'er...?" Yi Xiaoling still didn't dare to say it.
Yi Xiaodao nodded: "Dead."
The three of them fell silent immediately. After a while, Li Dingxing finally said: "Brother, there is no resurrection after death..."
"I'm fine."
Yi Xiaodao said slowly: "Life and death are common things for people. This may be her fate, and there is nothing I can do about it."
"But..." Yi Xiaoling hesitated, Yi Xiaodao's calm look was really unusual.
"It's natural to be sad. I have lived a poor life and finally met her... Forget it, I won't say more. All I can do now is to avenge her."
Seeing Yi Xiaodao being so calm, Yi Xiaoling couldn't help but recover from the initial brief shock, and felt a little angry in her heart.
"Ever since we and Yue'er left her home, she has been worried about you every day. How many people in the world are staring at you and implicating her by the way? Now that the person is dead, you just said it in such an understatement, why? Is she taking revenge?"
"Then you should go. Why are you still here? If you are afraid of being beaten, just stay here and sit quietly while I go and avenge her!"
After Yi Xiaoling finished speaking, he turned around and left, never wanting to see this "heartless man" again.
Yi Xiaodao stretched out his hand and flicked it, and two small flames flew out from his fingertips and circled in front of Yi Xiaoling, blocking her way.
"Meng Mulie can't win alone. I'm waiting for someone."
"Who are you waiting for?" Yi Xiaoling was stopped by the flames, and Li Dingxing was dragging him behind him. He couldn't break free for a while, so he turned around and asked Yi Xiaodao.
Yi Xiaodao shook his head gently: "I can't say, just wait. Besides, the Beiyi army is coming soon, and the war is imminent."
"Get out of the way! Let me go!" Yi Xiaoling said coldly, not wanting to continue guessing riddles with him.
Yi Xiaodao flicked his fingers, and the flames gave way, allowing the two of them to leave.
"Xiao Ling, wait a moment, don't leave in a hurry!"
After leaving the door, Yi Xiaoling walked quickly out of anger. Li Dingxing followed hurriedly behind and called out to her.
"Li Dingxing!"
Yi Xiaoling suddenly turned around, looked at Li Dingxing and said, "Yi Xiaodao is scared, how about we go and avenge Sister Yue'er?"
Li Dingxing was shocked when he heard this: "Just...the two of us?"
"Yes, the two of us! Are you afraid too?" Yi Xiaoling asked.
Li Dingxing shook his head: "This is not a matter of fear or not. There are only two of us. Going now is no different from sending death."
"I can't sit here and do nothing anyway!"
Li Dingxing thought for a while and said, "By the way, how about we go discuss it with Xiaoyong first."
"OK!"
The two had just made up their mind, turned around, and saw Man Yong standing at the corner.
"Xiaoyong, what are you doing here?"
"I'm here to bid farewell to Master, and prepare to avenge Master." Man Yong's eyes were red, and he had obviously been crying for a while.
Yi Xiaoling said disdainfully: "Don't go looking for him, he has been scared to death by Beiyi! We were about to go find you, and you just happened to come. Come on, let's go and avenge your wife!"
Man Yong looked at Yi Xiaodao's closed door. He probably felt that Yi Xiaodao would not let him go easily. He nodded: "Okay, there is one more person. Let's go find him. One more person is also one more helper!"
Under the leadership of Man Yong, the two of them arrived outside the prison of Jincheng County Government.
"Duan Tong is being held here, but I'm not an official, and the guards here won't let me in."
Yi Xiaoling quickly looked at Li Dingxing: "Mumu, go ahead."
Li Dingxing strode forward, and the two of them followed behind. When they came to the door, the guard at the door saw Li Dingxing and saluted quickly: "I have seen Mr. Zhongyi."
Li Dingxing nodded: "I want to see Duan Tong from Beiyi, please open the door."
The three of them easily entered the prison through Li Dingxing's identity as "Loyal Lord".
The cell was dark and damp. Under the guidance of the guards, several people came to Duan Tong's cell. In the corner, Duan Tong was sitting against the wall. In the shadow, his expression could not be seen clearly.
"Brother Duan, how are you?" Man Yong recognized Duan Tong and asked.
Duan Tong raised his head: "Why are you here?"
Li Dingxing waved his hand and signaled the guards to leave: "Duan Tong, we want to ask you something. It concerns Beiyi, so please tell the truth."
Duan Tong glanced at several people and said with a smile: "Hey, you want to ask about Meng Mulie, the Great Khan of Beiyi, right?"
"Brother Duan, we want to avenge our master's wife. Do you want to go with us?" Man Yong asked anxiously.
"Xiaoyong..."
Li Dingxing was a little ashamed. This man was in prison and he was an important prisoner of the imperial court. Even though he was a loyal official, he had no right to take him away without authorization. However, Man Yong came up and asked Duan Tong if he wanted to come together, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
Yi Xiaoling also knew the difficulty, and said quickly: "Xiaoyong, don't worry, ask him first, does Meng Mulie have any weaknesses?"
Duan Tong seemed to have heard the funniest thing: "Just the three of you want to take revenge? Hahahahahaha."
"What's wrong with the three of us? You, Duan Tong, are alone. Haven't you been preparing to avenge the Duan family day and night all these years?" Li Dingxing knew about the annihilation of the Duan family and hit Duan Tong's vital point with his words.
"Brother Duan, if it weren't for you, Master and I wouldn't be able to come back alive. Now that you have given up the dark side and turned to the bright side, it's a good time to make up for it!"
Duan Tong lowered his head and said nothing. On the other side, the guard jailer had already walked over.
"We haven't finished talking yet, what are you doing here?" Li Dingxing was a little dissatisfied with the guard coming over without permission.
The guard stopped, raised his head, and took off the helmet on his head: "Don't you want revenge? How about I accompany you?"
This guard turned out to be Duan Tong!
"How...how could you?"
The three of them were shocked and looked into the cell again. Duan Tong was still sitting in the corner with his head lowered and silent. He seemed to be asleep.
"Let's go."
Duan Tong didn't intend to explain, but Li Dingxing had a rough guess. It seemed that the people in this cell were the real guards.
"With your amazing skills, no one in the world can catch you." Li Dingxing sighed sincerely.
Duan Tong ignored him and walked out of the prison first, and the three of them quickly followed.
"Meng Mulie also has a weakness, and most people don't know about this weakness. In the entire Beiyi, not more than five people know about it."
"In his early years, he struggled a lot in Beiyi and reached the position of Great Khan of Beiyi. As a result, he suffered countless injuries. Among them, the most serious injury was his weakness."
"On the waist."
Li Dingxing was a little curious: "How did you find out?"
Duan Tong tapped the saber on his waist and made a "clang" sound, which was regarded as a response.
"Yeah, anyone could be you..." Li Dingxing laughed a little at himself, but his reaction was still a little slow.
"The old injury was later cured by a famous doctor from Beiyi, but it could not be cured, so it left a hidden danger. As long as we severely injure his waist, we can take him down! Once he is taken down, millions of The Northern Yi army is nothing more than ants and sandworms."
Yi Xiaoling looked at Li Dingxing, who nodded in agreement.
It's not that Beiyi's millions of troops are useless, but once Meng Mulie is defeated head-on, even if there are millions of them, they will lose all will to fight and flee.
Several people got out of the prison and came to the street. Duan Tong casually extended his hand in front of a passerby. The passerby looked at Duan Tong blankly and followed him into a small alley.
The three of them were about to follow, but Duan Tong and the passerby had already walked out. Both of them have the same face.
"This...who is you?" The three of them were shocked again. The two Duans looked exactly the same, only with different clothes.
Duan Tong, who was wearing the clothes of a passerby, waved and said, "Hurry up. If you are discovered later, you won't be able to leave."
Soon, under the leadership of Duan Tong, several people left Jincheng unimpeded.
Yi Xiaoling and Li Dingxing also took the time to retrieve their weapons. Duan Tong also arranged for several fast horses to wait outside the city early in the morning.
"There are some of your people in Jincheng too?" Li Dingxing looked at the horses and was a little surprised by Duan Tong's magical power.
"I just arrived and haven't arranged much yet, but it's enough." Duan Tong got on his horse and said, "We have to hurry up and leave quickly."
Li Dingxing and three others followed and got on their horses, and the four horses headed north, leaving only a field of yellow dust.
On the wall of Jincheng, Zhou Ziru looked at the four horses retreating in silence.
"Prime Minister Zhou, do you want to report to Duke Wu Din?" asked the general on the side.
Zhou Ziru slowly shook his head: "Yi Xiaodao didn't make a big fuss, which was beyond my expectation. I think... the reason why he didn't rush to take revenge may be because these people are still there."
"Now is the moment of life and death for Daqi and Beiyi. Only when they all die in the hands of Beiyi will Yi Xiaodao become determined to die and fight Beiyi until death."
"Let them go. After they die, I also want to see what Yi Xiaodao looks like under desperate circumstances."
In Yi Xiaodao's room in the county government office, he was closing his eyes tightly, as if he was meditating.
"As gods, you are just standing by and watching as the human world is already in ruins."
"Tian Tiao is Tian Tiao, and there is nothing we can do about it. It is already very difficult to be able to help you to this point. You have not let us down. It is really rare to be able to grow to this day."
"How long do I have to wait?"
The veins on Yi Xiaodao's hands showed little by little. Obviously, he was far from as calm as he showed on his face.
"Soon…"
