On the way, Yinluo suddenly remembered something. She turned her head abruptly and looked at Sun Lang.
Although Sun Lang had just brushed off the questions of "Why are you so familiar with it?" and "Have you done it many times before?", he still had a lingering fear. His heart skipped a beat. "What... What's wrong?"
Yinluo's eyes became suspicious. "You seem to be a little guilty."
Sun Lang looked up to the sky and laughed three times. He said proudly, "I was a little prince who broke the law when I was young. When I grew up, I was even a big traitor who brought disaster to the country and the people. I have done all kinds of big things. I almost beat the emperor. Why would I be guilty?!"
Yinluo's eyes became more and more subtle. However, she had been with Sun Lang for a long time. She also knew how cunning this guy was. If he was not willing to say it, no matter how she forced him to say it, he would definitely talk about the Southern Sky Gate as if nothing had happened. She would not be able to get anything out of him.
... Hmph, but you will say it sooner or later.
She remembered what happened last night. Her face was slightly red, but the corners of her mouth showed a trace of a smile.
In that quiet but dangerous night, she had staked everything on one throw, he had confided in her heart, and he had finally told her the secret in his heart. All the doubts she had for a long time were suddenly solved, and what she received was a shocking truth. However, she was not surprised, nor was she afraid. She only felt a faint sense of relief.
It was as if everything had happened naturally.
She was now concerned about another problem. After hesitating for a moment, she asked, "What you said to Master Sanzang... Is it true?"
Sun Lang then realized that Yinluo had studied in the Lihuo Kingdom for two years. Now it seemed that she did not go there to plaster herself with gold and brush up on her academic qualifications. Logically speaking, Yinluo's nature was like going to Japan to study, but inexplicably becoming the driver of a giant humanoid weapon...
Suddenly, he wanted to see her talent report and extra-curricular internship report.
Therefore, Yinluo was inexplicably very popular with the Russians. She should know a lot about the Scorching Flame Cult and the Lihuo Kingdom. Therefore, of course, she was very concerned about the things that Sun Lang said. For example, she could complete the essence extraction of oil without relying on the secret methods and runes of the Scorching Flame Cult.
— Oh, come to think of it, the Russians' name for oil was "Blood of God".
He smiled and said, "Of course it's true. Was my description of the Lihuo Kingdom accurate?"
"No... It was a little too accurate."
Zhang Yinluo hesitated for a moment and said with a bitter smile, "It scared me. I was also very concerned because the Scorching Flame Cult did control a lot of core technologies. If ordinary people secretly conducted experiments on flames and weapons, once discovered, they would be judged as blasphemy by the Heresy Tribunal. All the related people would be investigated and punished mercilessly..."
She sighed worriedly and said, "After all, just like the Imperial Army to the Imperium, this is also the fundamental lifeline of the Lihuo Kingdom's strength. Think about it, if a civil organization in the Lihuo Kingdom suddenly announced that it had cracked the secrets of the Imperial Army and could start production... I'm afraid that it would become the target of public criticism of the two kingdoms at the same time. Not only would the Imperium use all its power to wipe it out at any cost, but even the Lihuo Kingdom would be jealous of the achievements of this organization. Sun Lang, do you understand what I'm saying?"
Sun Lang nodded.
Compared to the Imperial Army, the secrets of the Lihuo Kingdom were much easier to crack. After all, his experience in his previous life had already shown that there was no supernatural power, and the souls of human beings were bound by gravity. However, civilizations could still conquer and explore with their wisdom and endless desires. In just a few hundred years, they could complete the intense evolution from iron and fire to electricity and nuclear.
This path could be completely replicated.
That was why the Lihuo Kingdom was wary and even wanted to kill him. When the priests of fire, who had been used to controlling the power of fire and ruling the ignorant people with it, suddenly discovered that someone could steal the authority of fire without relying on the secret techniques of the Scorching Flame Cult, without the complicated and esoteric runes, and without involving any mysterious power, although the achievements were not as profound and powerful as those of the Scorching Flame Cult, they were more suitable for large-scale promotion so that even the humble mortals could use the power at will … How could it be?
Even the Empire would be jealous of such an achievement, especially when those idiots were crazily looking for a new way out … Heh, it was true that a man's wealth was his own ruin. However, the jade in Sun Lang's hand was not so easy to take!
He smiled and said, "That day will come sooner or later. It's an inevitable result of the progress of society, because human desires are endless. As the saying goes, one's lust will be aroused when one has enough food and clothing … Well, when one has enough food and clothing, one will know honor and disgrace. When the world and the ways of the world allow most people to live without worries, they will desire more things. They will be dissatisfied with exploitation, they will oppose oppression, they will demand dignity and power, they will think …"
"It is often accompanied by blood and sacrifice. Only after arduous struggles can there be a good result. Also, as time goes by, because of the deep-rooted nature of human beings, the fruits of hard work will gradually deteriorate. However, a new storm will be brewing in it, and a new revolution will be launched. In the process of blood and correction, the world will gradually become better … That's about it."
"Right now, after winning the Second War of the Heaven's Origin Sector, the civilization in this world is about to enter a phase of rapid development, because the scientific progress and the redistribution of interests during the war will be fully channeled to the people. The seeds of reform are brewing."
"Since this day would have come sooner or later, is there any reason why we should not hold the future in our hands?"
Sun Lang smiled at Zhang Yinluo. "This day would have come sooner or later, and my eyes have already seen the future. So, why should we let such a great opportunity fall into someone else's hands?"
"That is to say …" Zhang Yinluo was sort of an overseas returnee these days. Also, having been around Sun Lang for a long time, she could understand what he was saying. With a subtle expression, she asked, "You are doing this for the cause of the liberation of human beings and the harmony of the world?"
Sun Lang's face immediately showed bewilderment and surprise, but this expression was quickly hidden. He gave a thumbs up and said sonorously, "Yes, comrade!
Let's work for the construction of communism together for the rest of our lives! "
Zhang Yinluo rolled her eyes and said, "I'm convinced now … You are only doing this because you are curious or for fun, aren't you? You do not care about the covetousness and hostility of other countries, nor do you think about the welfare of the people. I can't believe that you can still come up with such a great reason after I asked you …"
Sun Lang did not refute but smiled. "I have to find something to do, don't I?"
Zhang Yinluo was dazed for a moment. Then, she said helplessly, "Alright, I was just asking. Now that you have understood the consequences of doing this, it's up to you. After all, you haven't listened to my advice very often …"
Sun Lang blinked his eyes and smiled. "Don't worry about it. We've known each other for so long. When have you ever seen me suffer losses?
Of course, we can't make such a thing public. Don't I always say the same thing? "
Then, Zhang Yinluo pursed his lips and laughed with Sun Lang. "Making a fortune without making a sound is the true way to roar …"
The two of them smiled at each other and ended the topic. They continued to chat as they hurried on their way.
Sun Lang and Yinluo chatted and laughed as they looked at the horizon. That was the direction of the imperial capital.
After the war, the imperial court decided to open up the borders with the barbarians. It was glorified as opening one's eyes to the world. As for the actual intention, only three to five people in the entire country knew.
You probably didn't know that the solution to the current predicament, the key to the future, the new way out of this country, was actually revealed to you a few years ago as if nothing had happened. However … even if you can remember it now, even if you know about it, do you have the courage to do it?
If you don't make a decision, I'll have to make it for you.
Anyway, I'm a visitor from another world. I have no country and no home. I have wild ambitions and no taboos. I don't have the ancestral mountains to protect, the country to maintain, huge interests to protect, and a large number of wolves to feed … Now, I suddenly realized that the process of revenge can be very long.
Thinking of this, he suddenly turned his head and said excitedly, "I've decided, Yinluo. I'm going to export revolution all over the world!
In the future, in history textbooks, I'll be a great thinker, a revolutionary, a military strategist, and a proletarian mentor. I'll be the kind of person who makes primary and secondary school students gnash their teeth in pain! "
Yinluo looked helpless. "Here we go again. What's that?"
Sun Lang said proudly, "The founder of the Sickle and Hammer Divine Sect, the first generation leader of all red countries, wrote books and established doctrines, and has countless disciples and grand-disciples under his command. He is the sage who changed the middle … Pei, changed the world!"
Zhang Yinluo nodded perfunctorily. "Yes, yes, but a sage can't be lustful. Otherwise, people won't be convinced."
Sun Lang was stunned for a moment. Then, he shook his head and said, "Is that so … Then forget it."
As a result, the future world lost a great proletarian mentor … probably.
It was already late, and the lanterns had been lit. The Zhang Mansion had also hung up the lanterns. Mingzhou City had been in a mess for the past two days. For various reasons, the big families had increased the number of guards in their courtyards. At this moment, there were two guards standing in front of the Zhang Mansion. Both of them had sabers at their waist. Their eyes were solemn and vigilant, and they were obviously elites.
Noticing the two people who were coming, they saluted and said, "Miss!
And this is … "
Sun Lang extended his hand and picked his nose arrogantly. Then, he raised his chin and snorted with his nostrils. He said arrogantly, "Don't you have eyes?
I'm the son-in-law who is going to cheat his daughter of her dowry! "
Zhang Yinluo kicked him expressionlessly. Then, he smiled apologetically at the two guards. "Brothers, I brought him to see my grandpa. Don't worry. He won't cause any trouble."
The two guards looked at each other. As the security guards of the Zhang Mansion, they were quite well-informed. Although they didn't personally experience what happened last night, they heard the sound of the chariot that almost woke up half of the Zhang Mansion. They also knew that the Eldest Miss in front of them was a fierce person who dared to contradict the Old Master and then rushed out of the Zhang Mansion with a nun riding an iron horse. Now, the Eldest Miss actually brought a man back and didn't raise any objection to the so-called "son-in-law who lives off women" …
They glanced at Sun Lang without batting an eyelid. Between this man and their master, only one could survive.
Then, the two guards immediately pushed open the closed door. "Please come in."
Zhang Yinluo smiled. Then, she grabbed Sun Lang's arm and dragged him into the mansion. As she dragged him, she warned in a low voice, "Don't say strange things!
Don't be rude to my grandpa!
Don't bully my father!
In short, you're also not allowed to put on airs in front of my father and grandpa. Do you understand? "
Sun Lang chuckled. "Don't worry. I'm famous for respecting the old and loving the young. Moreover, even if I'm arrogant, in front of your father, won't I still be his future son-in-law?"
Zhang Yinluo's long, shapely eyebrows rose. Her face was red as she angrily said, "Don't call him father-in-law!
Do you want to anger him to death! "
Sun Lang blinked his eyes and nodded in agreement. The two of them faced the surprised gazes of the maidservants, guards, and other people in the mansion. They passed through the front yard and the corridor, following the path of a small garden. Suddenly, a light flashed in front of them. A dignified and dignified middle-aged man walked towards them. Between his eyebrows, there was a dignified aura.
Zhang Yinluo exclaimed in a low voice, "Oh no!"
With Sun Lang's skills, he could use the King Kong Finger to break the stone slab under his feet and then dig out a lump of mud. Then, he could use the Xiao Li Flying Dagger technique to throw this hidden weapon with the ability to deprive one's vision and paste it on Yinluo's face. Taking advantage of the darkness in front of him, he could grab Yinluo and hide in a dark corner or directly fly to the roof. Then, he could escape without being discovered.
But since Yinluo forbade him from bullying his father-in-law, then as a sensible and obedient man, Sun Lang naturally would not do such a thing. Thus, he stood obediently beside Yinluo, raised his hand, and greeted the stunned Mr. Zhang, "Hi!"
Mr. Zhang regained his senses. He looked at Zhang Yinluo and then looked at Sun Lang. His face turned green, but he did not immediately get angry. Instead, he looked at his daughter and said coldly.
"Yo-ho, the water that was splashed out. You brought back the broken basin that you found outside?"
Zhang Yinluo was stunned for a moment, and then her face suddenly turned red. She immediately remembered the words that she shouted without thinking last night. She stamped her feet and said, "Father!
Why are you … Why are you like this! "
Sun Lang scratched his face and said with interest, "Is it a new joke that just appeared last night?"
Zhang Yinluo said loudly, "No!
Don't ask! "
Mr. Zhang looked at the flirting couple, and the more he looked, the angrier he got. He snorted coldly, "What, are you back to show off?"
Sun Lang's mouth was really annoying. Hearing this, he immediately said, "No, we are here to divide the family property."
Zhang Yinluo's elbow was as fast as lightning. She nudged Sun Lang and said before her father got angry, "Father, don't listen to his nonsense. It is grandpa who wants to see him."
Don't mention it. Once it was mentioned, Mr. Zhang's anger couldn't be suppressed. He was beaten by his father for no reason last night. Although he didn't know why, it was definitely related to this guy. Besides, Zhang Yinluo had taken advantage of his father last night to rob him. He said angrily, "What, with your grandpa's support, you don't even care about me?"
Zhang Yinluo was embarrassed. She nudged Sun Lang again, indicating that Sun Lang should say something.
At the critical moment, Sun Lang was still very reliable. He smiled elegantly and bowed. His face was sincere, his expression was on point, and his actions were appropriate. He smiled and said, "I am Sun Lang. Nice to meet you, uncle. I was naughty in the past and offended you. I hope that you will be magnanimous and forgive me. I am very grateful."
Mr. Zhang was mentally prepared for Sun Lang to say vulgar words. He didn't expect this guy to change his attitude. He snorted twice and didn't find any trap. But how could the deep hatred of taking away his daughter, which made him so angry that he almost exploded, be resolved by a few soft words?
He said coldly, "Naughty?
I think you are more than naughty!
You cheated my daughter and came to me to talk nonsense. Now you have the face to call me uncle! "
"Then …" Sun Lang was silent for a moment, and said tentatively, "… Father?"
"…"
"…"
After a moment, Mr. Zhang's roar came from the small garden, "Yinluo!
Stop right there!
Today I must break this guy's head! "
Then Sun Lang also shouted, not to be outdone. He said anxiously, "Yinluo!
Take me away!
Take me away!
If you are too slow, I am afraid that I will kill your father! "
"… Shut up! Ahhhhhhhhh!"
The stupid father-in-law, the silly daughter, and the bastard son-in-law chased each other in the mansion. Mr. Zhang was furious, gnashing his teeth, and his robe was fluttering. He had used his martial arts to the extreme. However, Sun Lang was the honorary chief instructor of the Hong Kong level reporters in the news department of Embroidery Hall. Even if he took Zhang Yinluo with him, Mr. Zhang couldn't catch up with them. Soon, they left his angry father-in-law behind.
Zhang Yinluo didn't have time to get angry. She looked carefully and pointed to the front, saying, "It's there!"
Sun Lang held Yin Luo's small hand and brought her a few leaps to this quiet and remote courtyard. As soon as their feet touched the ground, there was a sharp sound of wind coming from the left and right. Sun Lang raised his leg, and with two bangs, he immediately kicked the two ambushers, sending them tumbling to the side.
Zhang Yinluo didn't even have the strength to get angry. She said crazily, "They are the servants of the family who are responsible for protecting my grandfather. Why did you hit them again?"
Sun Lang said with a smile, "These two consecrators recognized you, so they attacked me mercilessly. Naturally, I wanted to let them know who I am and learn from their mistakes, so that they won't get beaten up again."
Zhang Yinluo was stunned for a moment, but then she heard an old and deep voice coming from the building, "Inform the family that if they see this young master in the future, they must treat him with respect. They are not allowed to be rude."
Zhang Yinluo turned her head and said, "Grandfather!"
There was a moment of silence inside. It seemed that the previous family head who still maintained great prestige in the Zhang family didn't know what to say at this moment. However, he quickly said, "Ya 'er, bring this young master in."
Yinluo looked at Sun Lang with some helplessness in her eyes. The girl wasn't stupid. She could hear the hesitation and excessive politeness in her grandfather's words. To make this old man who used to command the world so hesitant and cautious, it must be because of the man in front of her … Sigh, this guy …
Sun Lang smiled at her and winked mischievously.
Looking at this guy's familiar cheap smile, Yinluo's somewhat gloomy mood improved again.
The two of them pushed open the door together. Under the bright light, an old man with white hair and beard was sitting at the table playing chess with himself. Hearing the sound, he raised his head and looked deeply at Sun Lang.
Although it was very soft, Yinluo could still clearly hear her grandfather draw in a cold breath.
The old man hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "Ya 'er, go outside first and stay away. I want to say a few words to this young master."
Yinluo first nodded, then remembered something and hurried to her grandfather's side. She first looked at Sun Lang and said, "You're not allowed to eavesdrop!"
Sun Lang nodded.
Thus, Yinluo whispered a few words into her grandfather's ear.
If Sun Lang wanted to, he could even hear the sound of ant queens having sex in the ant nest several meters below his feet. But since Yinluo didn't want him to listen, he naturally wouldn't listen.
After saying that, Yinluo glanced at Sun Lang a few times, using his eyes to express a certain amount of warning and hinting. Then, he left the room, closed the door, and walked far away.
Only Sun Lang and Grandpa Zhang were left in the room.
Yinluo's grandfather looked at Sun Lang, hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "You are … Marshal Jia?"
"Bullshit." Sun Lang rolled his eyes and said, "You're really handsome."
"…" Obviously, Grandpa Zhang wasn't used to Sun Lang's way of speaking. He laughed bitterly and straightened up. "It shouldn't be wrong. Marshal, I …"
Sun Lang directly said, "No need to kneel. I'm not used to it."
Grandpa Zhang's eyes flashed. "Not used to it?
Marshal's temperament is quite special. "
Sun Lang pulled over a chair from the guest area and sat on it. He said indifferently, "Character and concept dictate. At the beginning, when I see many people kneeling in front of me, either humble, worshipping, or in awe, as the spiritual leader of all living things, I feel a great sense of satisfaction. But after the initial feeling of floating in the air, I will feel a little uncomfortable, and then I will be fed up."
He looked like he was recalling the past, then shook his head and said, "After all, temperament depends on the environment I grew up in. Take the emperor in the palace as an example. I'm afraid that he thought he was superior to others since he was a child and deserved to be worshipped by the whole world. But I'm just a commoner. Since I was a child, I've always thought that people have knees to walk on. Now, I still think I'm right."
The old man nodded and said, "Marshal, you're kind. We're just ordinary people, but we're used to kneeling and being kneeled … Well, let's cut to the chase. Yesterday, I found you here, so I wanted to pay you a visit. But I didn't know how to start. I'm afraid you'll be annoyed if I go there without a proper reason. Today, I'm honored to have you here."
He poured a cup of tea and handed it to Sun Lang with both hands. Sun Lang took it and thanked him.
Then, the old master poured a cup for himself as well. He took a sip and said slowly, "This old man wants to see the marshal. I do have something important to ask you, but your status is revered and you are a guest, so your matter is even more important … Marshal, that girl Yin Luo brought you here because of Mingzhou's Great General Qi Guanyan."
