Beiming City. The meeting hall of the commander-in-chief's mansion.Ye Huangtu and a few other generals were sitting on chairs, while Ao Han, who was covered in blood, was kneeling on the ground.
Outside of the hall, there was a pile of demon snakes' heads and beast cores. They were like a small hill, especially the gigantic silver serpent's head. It was a shocking sight to behold.
"Master Hou, I was too weak and was unable to save field officer Chen and the other members of the team. Please punish me, Master Hou!" Ao Han's eyes turned red, his face was full of remorse and pain.
"The demonic snake that grew up here is also in the dark. It is indeed very dangerous. How can you blame Captain Chen and the others for not being able to survive?"
You killed the demonic snake and avenged them, you should be rewarded …
"How about this, I order you to take over the position of field officer Chen, lead a team, and remember the second class contribution!" Ye Huang said.
Ao Han raised his head, revealing a look of gratitude, "Thank you, Master Hou! "I, Ao Han, will do my best to protect the people of Beiming City!"
"You can go now. You're tired too. Rest well." Ye Huangtu waved his hand.
However, Ao Han begged, "Master Hou, I have a brother, Gao Yi. He is on good terms with me and died trying to save me.
Can you inform me of his family's residence so that I can take care of his family for him in the future? "
Ye Huangtu praised, "Since you have such a heart, of course you can. Go and ask the official. We, the northern troop, will also give out some money for your pension."
"Thank you, Master Hou!" Ao Han wiped off his tears, turned and left the meeting hall.
Looking at the cold figure of his back, one of the generals beside him praised, "As expected of Principal Kong Zhuo's student. This kid is really not bad.""Friendly and righteous, worthy of nurturing."
"Look at that demonic core, it is indeed a demonic snake with a long habitat. If it wasn't for the fact that he has a Xuansu sacred body, I'm afraid he would have had a hard time escaping death!""But how come there doesn't seem to be any injuries on his body?"
"It's been a few days already, and it's good that he's injured. Otherwise, how could he have a Mysterious Holy Body?"
The few high-ranking officers discussed among themselves for a while and then left.
After everyone had left, Ye Hang walked out from the back and asked in a puzzled tone, "Dad, why do I feel that this Gu Han is so weird?"
Ye Huangtu narrowed his eyes and asked, "What's weird?"
"I can't explain it, but I feel like it's not the same as before." Ye Hang scratched his head.
"When there is no evidence, do not play your part. It is more important than suspecting others."
"Yes, Father!"
Ye Huangtu stood up and frowned, "Is there any news from your brother?""Sigh …" Ye Hang bitterly sighed, "It was said that a few days ago he had called Princess Sister-in-law, but now he could no longer contact her."
"Oh?" Ye Huangtu asked, "What day exactly?"
Ye Wen said, "It was on the day that the army of demonic snakes attacked. After that, there was no further contact."
Ye Huangtu seemed to have thought of something and nodded
In the Wilderness, it was a valley with beautiful grass and clear water.
At the side of the stream, smoke curled up from a house constructed of stone and wood.
A fair skinned woman wearing a coarse cloth and beast skin dress covered her hair with colored cloth was squatting by the stream, washing clothes.
The water current sped up, causing a splash that landed on the woman's face.
The woman subconsciously reached out to wipe it, but her feet slipped and she fell into the stream!
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
The woman fell into the water and hurriedly reached out to touch the pebbles on the shore.
She was blind, and felt for a while. She had just climbed onto the shore when she accidentally kicked the clothes basin down the stream."Aiya!"
The blind woman knew that it was not good as she heard the sound of splashing water. She rushed over but didn't have time to grab onto the wooden basin.
With a "putong" sound, someone jumped into the water. He reached out to pick up the wooden basin and put it back on the shore.
"Ah Zi, I've told you so many times. When I'm not around, don't go to the shore to wash your clothes. It's so dangerous!"The man's words were reproachful, but more importantly, they were filled with heartache.
The blind girl Ah Zi was overjoyed. She happily stretched out her hand to touch the man who was walking forward, then forcefully hugged him."Song He!" You're finally back?! Why did he have to go out for so long this time? The herbs have all been sold? Is everything all right? "
As Ah Zi spoke, she caressed the man's face, and then asked curiously: "Song He, where is your mask? "It was removed?"
The ugly man with a face full of poison held Ah Zi's hand, his eyes filled with gentleness. "Yes, I took it off. Didn't you say you didn't like me wearing a mask?"
"That's right, we are husband and wife, how can we wear a mask in front of a husband and wife?"
Besides, I can't see you, and you can't even let me touch you. That's too strange. "Ah Zi leaned against her husband's chest, full of dependence.
"Even if you can't see, you can still feel how ugly I am!"
"No way! You say that again! How could a person's beauty be seen on a person's face?
If it weren't for the fact that you saved me from a bandit and healed me back then, I would have died a long time ago.
I'm just a blind woman. Ever since I was young, everyone has wanted to bully me. Other than my dead parents, you're the only one who treats me as well."To Ah Zi, Song He is the most handsome man in the world, the best husband," Ah Zi said seriously.
The ugly man's eyes turned red as he hugged his wife tightly. "I, Yun Song He, am able to marry you. This is the happiest thing in my life."
"Mhmm, me too." A Ziyi smiled and hugged the man tightly.
After a while, Ah Zi suddenly thought of something. "That's right, Song He. The meal is almost ready. Let's go in and eat. You just came back at the right time!""Alright, let's go out for a few days and miss your cooking skills." Yun Song He laughed.
"Hmph, you only know how to make me happy. I'm blind, how delicious can food taste?" Ah Zi shook his head.
The couple entered the house. It was a simple decoration, but it was rather warm and cozy.
After Yun Song He placed the dishes on the table, the two began to chat and laugh.
"Song He, why did you take so long to go out and sell the herbs this time? It's been a few days."
"En, I ran a bit too far. I want to sell it for a good price …"
"Oh, actually, we don't need much money. I still want you to be safe. If you don't come back, then I won't feel at ease!""Sorry for making you worry so much that you won't run so far next time." Yun Song He touched his wife's hand.
Ah Zi pursed her lips and bashfully said, "Actually, if you want to go out, that's fine too. But I'm too bored by myself. If only I had a child …"
Yun Song He's face darkened. His amber eyes revealed a hint of sadness and intolerance.
"Song He, why aren't you speaking again? If you don't want a child yet, then pretend I didn't mention it."I'm just saying that even if I don't have any children, I would be satisfied with you." Ah Zi said gently.
Yun Song He sighed and said, "Let me think. We still have a long time. Don't worry.""Okay, let's not talk about that. Eat more." Ah Zi smiled and nodded.
Just as the two of them were talking about this, Yun Song He suddenly noticed something. He narrowed his eyes and looked outside the door.
Not long after, a person walked in from outside and greeted them with a smile, "Haha, Song He is back? This food smells so good! Ah Zi's cooking skills have improved again? "
A man with long grey robes and black hair walked in. He wore a mask with a smiling face.
