After recognizing the villain daddy, the little apprentice sister cheats all the way

Yuan Shaojin was in a good mood, and Xie Qingyu remained silent.

She actually heard all these words. From what they revealed along the way, she learned that Chu Chaozhao was a dual practitioner of sword and alchemy, and was a genius among geniuses in alchemy. Others were not to be feared, but she was indeed a formidable rival.

But now seeing that she behaves in a wicked and unorthodox manner, doing whatever she wants, and having no background or family background, there is nothing to be afraid of her.

There is no way, this is how it is in the Eight Continents and Three Regions. No matter how talented you are, if your family background is not respectable, it means that you will always be a person of the lower class, and will always be trampled in the mud by the people above, and you will never be able to turn over, unless you rely on a large sect or family, then you will have a chance to turn over, move to a higher position, and stand on top and look down on everyone.

And now she was that person, the one standing on top, looking down on them.

Therefore, there is no need for her to take them seriously because they are not worthy of it now.

"Senior sister?" Yuan Shaojin smiled at her, "Senior sister, have you thought of anything?"

Xie Qingyu nodded slightly: "Let someone quietly approach and listen, in case they do something secretly."

She is not afraid of anyone, but she is always cautious and making sure everything goes well has always been her principle.

Yuan Shaojin always obeyed the orders of his senior sister, so he just randomly selected someone to listen.

Here, Chu Chaozhao and his group were chatting animatedly under the Jiumoyi bridge.

Chu Chaozhao finally got to the point: "Why are you here? Weren't you able to leave the city a few days ago?"

The old man sat cross-legged on a small step on the street and turned to look at the little girl sitting at the foot of the steps.

This little girl was so noble and beautiful, like a fairy who had fallen into the world. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, and looked at her with pity and love.

He smiled more amiably: "Little kid, you don't know that we are all from Lianyue City in the northern border for generations. Our roots are here. Where can we go?"

After saying this, he fell silent again, and his eyes were full of determination when he raised them: "Also, do you know General Xiao?"

All eight people shook their heads.

"General Xiao's family has traveled thousands of miles from the capital to the northern border since their ancestors, guarding the border for generations. By the time of General Xiao's generation, almost all of them were dead, all of them sacrificed on the battlefield. The border should be a difficult place, how can it be so prosperous? In addition to the king's virtue and the country's prosperity, it is also due to the leadership of the Xiao family that it has become prosperous today. Now that the war is imminent, if all of us leave, what will happen to them?"

"You all don't know that the last city in the northern border is not Lianyue City, but Xishan City, which is a hundred miles away. The city is so big that it can accommodate hundreds of rivers and thousands of mountains. I heard that there are hundreds of thousands of vast mountains with rich resources. Today, under the golden sun, the green mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, just like the ink paintings written by literati. But this city should have belonged to my Canglan Empire!"

As he spoke, the old man started to cough violently, his brows and eyes were bleak, and he was extremely sad and angry: "But the previous emperor was incompetent and allowed treacherous ministers to take power and frame the Xiao family, which only caused Xishan City to become the territory of the enemy. Do you know? During the war that year, what did the Galan Barbarian Country do after occupying Xishan City?"

Jiu Moyi patted his back gently and continued to comfort him.

The old man's eyes suddenly turned red. "The city was stained with blood. They slaughtered the people in the city, bullied women, chopped off people's limbs and heads, and hung them all over the city. During those days, the walls of the city were covered with endless blood from those broken limbs and heads. My grandfather's family was all there, and they will never come back. I sneaked over there and searched for five days, a full five days, before I found the mutilated body of my little cousin on the city wall."

"That nightmare is still vivid in my mind. She stared at me in horror, her eyes and mouth full of blood. Her head and limbs were hung separately, dangling on the city wall..."

The old man choked up and glanced at Chu Chaozhao: "She was still young at that time, but about the same age as you."

After saying this, the old man began to cry in a low voice: "If Lianyue City is lost again this time, the Xiao family army will never retreat. There is only one possibility, that is, the whole army will be annihilated, the northern border will be broken, the Canglan Empire will be in chaos, the people will suffer, the war will start again, and the people will not be able to live! So where can we retreat? Where can we retreat to!"

"Now, before the war even started, those barbarians have captured the people of Canglan Empire from somewhere, slaughtered and dismembered them, and thrown them outside Lianyue City. Some were even hung at the gate of Xishan City again!"

Jiu Moyi was filled with righteous indignation, clenching his fists and shouting angrily: "A bunch of beasts! It is normal for people to die in a war, but to brutally kill helpless civilians like this is really worse than beasts!"

Shangguan Sulan also hated evil and said, "You want to kill innocent people at will? Aren't you afraid of being punished by heaven and receiving retribution?"

The old man smiled bitterly and shook his head: "If they were afraid, history would not repeat itself like this. I am old and will not live long anyway. It would be better for me to join the army and die on the battlefield. It would be more painful! We must not let those crazy Galan barbarians enter the Canglan Empire!"

Chu Chaozhao patted him on the back gently: "Grandpa, but you are so old, will they allow you to join the army? And if something happens to you, your family will be so sad."

The old man just smiled and shook his head.

A child ran out from the team and ran towards him: "Grandpa, hurry up, it's our turn."

The old man stood up tremblingly, not wanting them to help him, and smiled at them: "Children, don't look at my age, I have been pulling cattle to plow the fields all year round, so I am very strong. Okay, I'm going to sign up."

He pulled the child forward without stopping.

The child also jumped and laughed: "I want to join the army."

Everyone who saw this was shocked and felt uncomfortable.

Chu Chaozhao suddenly ran up and stopped him: "Grandpa, is he going to join the army too? But he is still so young."

The old lady turned and smiled at him, stroking the little kid's head lovingly: "Niu Wa, tell your sister, can you?"

The little boy patted his chest and said confidently: "Beautiful sister, although I am small, I am very strong. I can lift a very large hoe. I have also tried the soldier's gun and can lift it high! Moreover, I helped grandpa kill pigs. Some people also said that those Galan barbarians are worse than pigs and dogs.

And it's not just me. My sister is younger than me and she also joined the army, but she didn't go to the battlefield. She lost her job helping to light the fire and cook. My sister may have done it too. I have to protect her when I go to the battlefield!"

"Not only them, my old lady, sons and daughters-in-law are all going to join the army. Everyone here is joining the army with their whole family. If we win this war, it will be great. If we lose, it will be better for us to sacrifice on the battlefield than to be tortured to death by those worse than pigs and dogs. At least we can die standing up!"

Most people in the Canglan Empire, influenced by the bloodline passed down from their ancestors, would die standing up.

After saying that, he waved goodbye and left as the little boy pulled him impatiently.

Chu Chaozhao stood there, feeling indescribable. She was not a kind person, but when she heard what he said and saw all these men, women, young and old, rich and poor people, her heart trembled, and a sour feeling enveloped her whole body, making it numb.

They are like the demons in the illusion of Qingqiu. If they die, they will die standing. Every citizen is a soldier.

The seven people behind him were all in awe when they heard this, both for the old man's family and for everyone present.

She thought to herself, "Qianlong Yuxi, is this an illusion?"

Qianlong Yuxi said in a deep voice: "No, my master, these are all real things that happened in the lower world."

Jiu Moyi stepped forward, hesitant to speak beside her, his eyebrows and eyes flushed, and said: "A Zhao, I think..."

He didn't want to turn a blind eye. They were so weak, yet they bravely joined the army. However, as cultivators, they turned a blind eye to it. They were like a group of cowards!

He hasn't been a coward for a long time since he followed A Zhao.

Shangguan Sulan beside him also looked at Chu Chaozhao eagerly.

As the eldest daughter of the Shangguan family, her father always told her that the most important thing was to protect herself and to hide when she was overwhelmed. However, he also told her that the duty of a cultivator was to help the weak and uphold justice.

She couldn't bear it!
