I painted skin in the cemetery for 15 years

Shen Gongao sat cross-legged on the ground, even closed his eyes, and fell asleep!

And the thousands of cavalry he brought were there, retreated a thousand meters, and camped in place.

Wu Que also sat down, closed his eyes, and fell asleep!

The scene fell into silence!

......................................................

Shen Gongao was dreaming again.

It was the same dream that had been repeated countless times.

When he was eight years old, he found a pack of wolves and rushed out fearlessly, chasing and killing them one by one, but the horse was bitten to death, and he was trapped in the valley surrounded by wolves.

He lit several bonfires and confronted the wolves.

He had killed several wolves, and his whole body was covered with scars.

Just when danger arose, his father, Shen Gonghu, came and killed all the wolves. He picked him up, who was dripping with blood, and held him up high, laughing extremely proudly.

Although this dream has been done many times, it is still so real.

Only this time, Shen Gongao didn't wake up, but continued to sleep.

Even in his sleep he can think.

What would have happened if there had been no upheaval in the Sidan Khanate?

If his father, Shen Gonghu, hadn't left this world so quickly, he would have been able to protect him until he reached adulthood.

Then he should grow up very healthy and complete, and won't become a disabled hero.

Then in the dream, his whole life flashed like a fleeting image.

What is the most important thing in a person's life?

Is it territory?

Is it wealth?

Is it the army?

Is it power?

Yes, it is not!

After all the superficial images, deep in his heart, it seemed that there were only two words left.

son, father.

As a son, you can't let your parents down, and you can't let your ancestors down.

As a father, you cannot disappoint your children and grandchildren.

What is a family business?

Parents above, children and grandchildren below, this is the family inheritance.

With these, there is everything.

Without these, no matter how many territories and wealth one has, it seems meaningless.

What kind of stories will he tell his children and grandchildren in the future?

Decades later, hundreds of years later.

Is he, Shen Gongao, still the pride of the family?

Is it the pride of children and grandchildren?

......................................................

with the passage of time.

The Shen Gong family's army gradually arrived.

After arriving at the city, they began to camp and rest in obscurity.

There are more and more troops under the city.

More than ten hours have passed!

The [-] troops of the Shen Gong family have basically arrived!

The trenches were dug and the camps built.

A part of the army was left to watch, and then the rest of the army began to sleep in tents.

And the army inside the city wall stopped reading those three articles and rested quietly.

Nothing raided the camp.

Just wait quietly for the decisive battle to happen!

......................................................

Around three in the morning.

Shen Gongao opened his eyes, and suddenly said: "Wu Que, many people say that I am the number one expert in the south, what do you think?"

Wu Que said: "I don't really know."

Shen Gongao said: "I don't know either, because except for Bai Yutang, a lunatic who finds others to compete every day, who knows how good anyone is? In fact, I haven't fought against top experts for more than ten years. I really have no chance."

Wu Que said: "I think it's the same. Teacher Jiumogang often has the opportunity to fight with others. But a prince like you can't just compete in martial arts casually."

Shen Gongao said: "In fact, after the level of martial arts reaches the level of a master, there is basically no standard. How to measure this thing? There is no way to measure it. It's just that there are only a few times in the process of fighting against masters, and the results are not very good."

No doubts.

Shen Gongao said: "That happened many years ago. In the competition between me and the masters, basically I lost more than I won. Once, I really lost to despair. It was really a long time ago. We just came to The Great Xia Empire has no relatives and more than 200 people. It is really difficult to support them, and people of other races are also looked down upon. So we became wandering assassins, helping people kill people to make money, and the money is quick."

"At that time, my martial arts were considered quite high. Shen Laowu and Shen Liuqi were much older than me, and their martial arts were also very strong. The three of us took on the task, and we were always successful and made a lot of money." Shen Gongao said: "But you know, the business of assassins is also monopolized by others. We didn't have any problems with small troubles before, but when we got bigger, we invaded other people's territory. At that time, the No. [-] Assassin Organization It’s the Qiufeng Tower.”

Qiufenglou, everything is very clear.

His nanny Nie Yuniang was once one of the top killers in Qiufenglou.

"Originally, Qiufenglou wanted to kill us, but seeing that we are very strong and have no foundation, so they wanted to recruit us." Shen Gongao said: "So, a person came from Qiufenglou, and he told us, The three of us join forces, we can use any weapon, any means. And he only uses one hand, no weapon, and blindfolded. As long as we can defeat him, then we can freely take business. Otherwise... we will join Autumn Wind Tower."

"That person's name is Qiu Fengwu, and he is the number one killer of Qiufeng Tower. At that time, Shen Laowu, Shen Liuqi and I used all means and weapons to attack Qiu Fengwu."

"He was blindfolded, tied his right hand, and stood there motionless."

"We attacked him for an entire hour without even hurting a single hair on him. The three of us were thrown out more than 600 times by him with one hand."

"Everyone was thrown out more than 600 times."

"I really don't even have the strength to resist at all."

"That person is really powerful enough to make people despair."

"After that, I deeply felt that there is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond people."

"I still remember the figure of that person, his breath, he is really a nightmare character!"

"He is Qiufenglou's number one killer, Qiufengwu!"

"Then, we joined the Qiufeng Building. Of course, it is an organization on the periphery, which has no access to the core layer at all."

"That was our worst loss. After that, I lost many times in a row."

"So, I feel that this world is really insecure! Sometimes, I even think that the power I had when I was eight years old to kill the wolves was an illusion. I am not that strong at all, and I even think my father is They didn't protect me in secret all the time, and when they saw that I was really in danger, they immediately rushed out to save me, but they didn't let me know. If not, maybe I would have died at the mouth of the wolves that day."

Wu Que said: "Then how did you get the reputation of being the most domineering and invincible master in the south?"

"Rely on killing people." Shen Gongao said: "After becoming Mi's lackey, I kept fighting and killing people! It seems that only in this way can I prove that I am a strong person. So even after becoming the governor of Zhengnan, I often fight in the On the front line, keep killing, killing, killing!"

"In the past ten years, I have fought twelve battles. I really don't know how many people have been killed. They were not killed indirectly, but all with my own hands. Maybe more than ten thousand people." Shen Gongao said slowly: "But there are very few masters, and there are not even any top masters."

"But for some unknown reason, I was touted as the number one expert in the south, and they all said that I was unparalleled in domineering and invincible on the battlefield."

"But to be honest, in fact, in the next few battles, I have already fought very hard. The army of Dali Kingdom has become stronger and stronger. Their individual combat effectiveness is very strong, but their organizational ability and mutual cooperation are not enough. "

"So I feel that I can't fight anymore, and I can't be invincible on the battlefield. In the past ten years, the battles I have fought have actually been bullying the weak."

"As for my achievements in martial arts, I think I'm actually mediocre. I can't even say that I'm a top expert. I just killed too many people and my evil spirit is very heavy, so when other martial arts masters see me, they will be shocked by my evil spirit." When I arrived, I felt how strong my martial arts were, but I didn't think I was that strong."

After Wu Que listened, he smiled lightly.

Shen Gongao said: "Wu Que, there is no other meaning! I am worried that the war will embarrass you soon, let you have a mental preparation first. I don't want to disappoint you, but it may be difficult to live up to the reputation. In the past two years, you have If you can see through being a father, you probably know that I am a strong outsider, and I am not that strong at all."

"Everyone is vain. Everyone brags that I am the number one master in the South. Over time, I have enjoyed this title very much. In fact, I have never really fought against a top master. Maybe I can't even beat an ordinary grandmaster. I think there is such a possibility, and I hope you will not be too disappointed by then."

"In the early years of martial arts competitions, I... I really lost more than I won."

"So, I'll try my best for a while, but if it doesn't work out, it's just that I'm incompetent."

"But as a father, I really tried my best."

Shen Gongao, who had been silent before, suddenly became chattering like an old man.

Wu Que poured a glass of wine, handed it over and said, "Okay, I understand. Drink a glass of wine to strengthen your courage."

Shen Gongao took the wine and drank a glass.

Then, he asked Wu Que for another cup.

He was really drinking for courage.

"Actually, I haven't really faced a real big scene in these years." Shen Gongao drank another glass of wine and said, "You see, the most intense battle was between Shen Wuzhuo and Shen Wuyu. I have never experienced a real battle. It is a moment of life and death, so last time, in order to get back the Red Clay Ridge, you used the name of the Dark Academy to create a few shocking cases. I was really scared at the time, thinking that your behavior would drag us all into the abyss , I feel that if something happens, our family will be completely over."

"Now, I'm also very scared." Shen Gongao said: "Very, very scared, I think we will be completely defeated, I think our family will be completely buried here, I am worried that I can't protect you at all, and I can't protect your mother. If I can’t protect my grandchildren, I’m afraid they will all die in front of my eyes.”

"I think, when I was eight years old, my father must have been secretly protecting me. That's not my bravery at all. If it wasn't for his covert protection, I might have died a long time ago. So my brilliant victory is not at all. It's just fake."

Then, Shen Gongao looked over and said hoarsely: "Wu Que, I'm so scared! I'm really scared. I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid that I will lose in a mess. I'm afraid that I can't protect my family at all, and I can't protect you at all. Everyone in our family will die, and I have never experienced a truly dangerous test in my life."

Wu Que did not speak, but poured a few more glasses of wine and handed them to him.

Shen Gongao drank one cup after another.

Straight up and half drunk.

Wu Que smiled and said, "Are you courageous?"

Shen Gongao said: "It's almost there."

Then, he asked: "Wu Que, you have won every time before, are you afraid of losing?"

Wu Que said: "Don't be afraid, you're dead."

Shen Gongao said again: "I'm not afraid of dying, but I'm afraid of losing face in front of you. I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you or my family."

He seemed confused, and he didn't know how many times he said a sentence.

Wu Que said, "Aren't you drunk?"

Shen Gongao said: "I lost too badly before, so I can't lie to myself, I can't paralyze myself."

And at this moment, Mi Gou shouted: "Brother Ao, my house in the middle of the battlefield has been built, come and talk together?"

Shen Gongao said to Wuque: "Is it time now? Should I go?"

Wu Que nodded and said, "Go!"

....................................

Shen Gong's [-] troops camped five miles away from the city wall.

Mi Gou built a wooden house two miles away from the city wall.

It is about [-] square meters, which is considered very large. It took hundreds of people two days and two nights to build it.

Following Mi Gou's order.

Dozens of warriors escorted Mu Hongyu, Nangong Rou, Mi Yuyi, Shen Wuzhuo's two children, and Shen Wuyu's two children into this wooden house.
