C6 A Promise Is a Blame

The peaceful days passed by just like that.

On this day, Liu Di arrived at the lawn early in the morning and found Blacksmith Uncle and Uncle Qiang there as well. Both of them had a serious expression on their faces. It seemed like they were waiting for him. Since two years ago, they had rarely come up. This time, something must have happened.

After Liu Di walked up to greet them, the three of them sat down on the floor.

Sure enough, Blacksmith Uncle opened his mouth and said, "This time we are in trouble."

He looked at Liu Di's questioning gaze and explained, "The government has come to find us. The Eastern Domain's borders were invaded by the pirates, and the imperial government was repeatedly defeated. They retreated, and had already lost six cities. The Western Regions had been in a state of turmoil for a long time and needed a large number of soldiers to guard the area. Now, they were stretched to the limit. There is a great shortage of troops in the Imperial Court, so we have to gather all the troops in the world and expand the military support. "

Liu Di Qi said, "We are living in seclusion here. How did the imperial government find out?"

Blacksmith Uncle pondered for a moment and sighed, "Actually, we have never told you the truth. Now that you have mastered it, you will grow old and have a more stable personality. It's time to tell you the ins and outs of what happened. Back then, the reason why our Yanyun army was destroyed and disappeared was because of one person! "

Then he gritted his teeth and said: "He is the current Prime Minister, Zhang Yetine! Back then, this person and Lord Huang Tianyu were known as the Left Minister and the Right Minister. The two of them could be said to be in charge of matters of Yan Country below ten thousand people. Since my emperor has a gentle personality, he is magnanimous and forgiving. Naturally, he does not doubt his servants. As a result, the two of them would gain great authority as time passed. As the saying goes, there cannot be two tigers on one mountain. Thus, the initial collaboration between the two of them slowly turned into a tiger lying on the bed! "

Liu Di thought to himself, from ancient times till now, everything was like this, and it wasn't new at all.

Blacksmith Uncle heaved a long sigh, "Finally over ten years ago, after the two of them had secretly competed to the point of losing, they tore off all decorum and began to use extreme methods to fiercely attack each other. As the subordinate of Lord Huang, our Yanyun army is the strongest military force that Lord Huang possesses, so naturally we bear the brunt of it. Although I don't know what caused your father's death, it's definitely related to Zhang Yetine! "

Saying this, Blacksmith Uncle looked at Liu Di and said, "At that time, you were young, and I'm afraid I'll tell you that your youth couldn't control himself to take revenge. And what can you do if your body is weak? It's no use trying to affect your growth. Now, you have hope in cultivating martial arts and your mastery in martial arts. Although he was young, he had the power to protect himself. He was more understanding and patient. I believe that even if you knew all of this, you would still calmly plan for the long term. "

Liu Di said in a deep voice, "Uncles, don't worry. I will not show you my courage." He will definitely plan carefully and endure humiliation while hiding. When the time comes, he will take revenge for killing his father! "

Blacksmith Uncle nodded in praise.

At this time, Uncle Da Qiang continued, "This time, the imperial court found us. It was clearly that old rogue, Zhang Yetine. Now that Lord Huang's power was waning, he was no longer the same person as before. He was the sole ruler of the imperial government, and the imperial government's decree was his decree. Finding us to fight against the pirates is obviously using their power to get rid of their future troubles! "

Blacksmith Uncle smiled bitterly and said, "So what?" The imperial government knew that we were living in seclusion here, and Zhang Yetine was very clear about that. They only did not touch us because they were afraid that their deeds would be exposed and ruin the hearts of the world's warriors. After all, we have already been stripped of our armor and returned to the fields, and we have never committed any crimes or crimes. If anyone wants to touch us, it would be difficult to find a reason to do so. Now that the opportunity has come, a name like this will allow the rest of our Yan Yun Legion to serve the country once again. In fact, if we win against the pirates, it will be a credit to Zhang. If he was defeated, he would be able to eliminate all future troubles. This is a scheme of his, we have no way of resisting it. "

The three of them fell silent.

After a long while, Blacksmith Uncle let out a long sigh and said, "Forget it, even if Zhang Yetine is using me, I am still working for my country. The pirates had been vexed for a long time. Now that the opportunity had presented itself, they decided to teach the pirates a lesson! Let them know the power of the warriors of our Yan Country! "

Uncle Qiang laughed out loud and said, "Hit the f * ck! I haven't cut anyone in a long time, my hands are itching! "

Then, Blacksmith Uncle turned to Liu Di and said: "This time, all of the adult males in our village will probably all go to the Eastern Domain Battlefield, even though only the elderly, women, and children will be left in the village. But we are fighting the enemy on the front lines, and the court will never be so unwise as to attack our relatives. There was only a bandit's den of Wulian Stronghold within a radius of a few hundred kilometers. Although he had a small grudge with us in the past, he wouldn't be so unwise as to take advantage of this to harass the village. One must know that once they anger us, although we are small in numbers, we are a well-trained official army, the Lion of the Tiger. If he returned with hatred, it was not something that he, a mere bandit's nest, could withstand. Therefore, the safety of the village was inevitable. Your mission is to cultivate and cultivate again! He must not slack in the slightest. "You must know that once we die on the battlefield, the hundreds of women and children in the village will all be entrusted to you. You must have the ability to protect them."

Liu Di stood up and straightened his back. He said loudly, "The village is for my family, to protect them and their safety! I will not disappoint you, Uncle! "

Blacksmith Uncle smiled and said, "I have no doubt about that. If anyone in the village gets bullied outside, you will be the first one to rush out and fight for your life."

At the side, Uncle Da Qiang also laughed out loud. "That little rascal Shi, just like his father, is also a man who values friendship and righteousness!"

Liu Di scratched his head and asked, "Blacksmith Uncle, when are you planning to leave?"

Blacksmith Uncle stood up and walked to the side of the mountain. He stared at the village from the foot of the mountain. At this time, the village was preparing breakfast. Smoke rose in spirals from every household. Under the cover of the morning mist and smoke, the village looked like a paradise on earth.

Blacksmith Uncle looked at it for a while and said lightly: "Today!"

In the afternoon, after sending off their family's men, their father, their sons, and their brothers, everyone returned to their homes. As usual, the village was quiet as he washed clothes and cooked food.

However, Liu Di knew that tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

That night, for the first time ever, Liu Di didn't meditate. Instead, he went straight to Ye Er's house.

Ye Er's father was a hunter and Liu Di usually called him Uncle Liu. He was an ordinary archer from the Swallow Cloud Legion back in the day. He was also on the eastern expedition this time around.

Because of Liu Di's arrival, the little girl temporarily forgot her father's injury as they sat next to each other on the doorstep. He looked at the bright and clear moon in the sky, not saying a word until the sun rose.

After that, Liu Di increased the intensity of his training and shortened the time needed to train. Save more time for Ye Er.

The girl who used to be so carefree and sharp mouth was now slim and gentle, her height reaching Liu Di's shoulders.

Liu Di took her back to the stream, to climb the rocks.

Of course, Ye Er only stood quietly at the bottom of the cliff while they climbed. He looked up at Liu Di who was jumping up and down on the rock. There was no worry in his big eyes, only happiness.

This peaceful and joyous day lasted for three months.

On this day, Liu Di brought Ye Er to the eastern peak of the village, which was the tallest mountain in the surrounding area.

Liu Di had thought of climbing this mountain before, but he was unable to do so. Now that she had successfully cultivated, she hugged Ye Er's slender waist and climbed to the top in the time it took to eat a meal.

At the top of the mountain, Liu Di put down Ye Er. The girl was so nervous that she didn't know what to do. She wasn't scared at all. Looking at her extremely red face, he could tell that she was shy.

Liu Di laughed, but did not tease her. He walked straight up to a large rock and sat down. He patted the rock beside him and said, "Come and sit."

The little girl pinched the corner of her clothes with her little white fingers as she walked over and sat down next to Liu Di.

Liu Di looked at the endless mountain range in front of him and said softly, "Ye Er, I'm afraid we will have to separate for a period of time."

Ye Er was like a frightened little rabbit. She raised her watery big eyes and asked anxiously, "Brother Stone, where are you going?"

Liu Di smiled as he caressed Ye Er's messy hair. "I have not progressed a single bit in my recent cultivation. I am currently in a bottleneck." If I were to continue practicing and sitting still every day, I might not be able to break through and would have to go out and gain some experience. "

Ye Er didn't ask him what the bottleneck was but asked softly, "How long will it take for you to return?"

Liu Di smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know either. Maybe a year, maybe several years."

Ye Er's eyes reddened as she fell silent.

Liu Di suddenly laughed, "Ye Er, if I come back within five years, would you be willing to marry me?"

Ye Er was shocked and she reacted instantly. He could no longer control his tears and began sobbing. Then, he tightly hugged Liu Di's waist and was unwilling to let go.

The two of them embraced each other and sat on the peak for a long time. It was not until the sun set in the west that the sky was filled with sunset.

Liu Di patted Ye Er's shoulder, "It's too late. We should go home."

"Yes." Ye Er seemed to be muttering to herself as her face turned red again. It was unknown whether it was shyness or the afterglow of the setting sun.

Liu Di hugged Ye Er, and just as he was about to leave, he looked around at the distant mountains for the last time.

He said to Ye Er who was in his arms, "I really want to say something right now."

Ye Er was shy and happy. She buried her head in Liu Di's chest, thinking that Liu Di was going to say something sweet. He said in a trembling voice: "What are you talking about?"

Unexpectedly, Liu Di didn't notice Ye Er's feelings at all. He then used an expression filled with literature and art to look at the distant mountains, saying in a clear voice, "The world is so vast, I want to take a look!"
