C180 The New Leader
Ding Zhaoyun looked at his daughter with a serious expression, but there was still a trace of tender love that could not be hidden from his eyes.
This daughter was the only link between his dead wife and himself in this world. It was also the strength that allowed him to persist on. If it wasn't for my daughter, with my personality, I'm afraid it's hard to accept what happened two years ago. He would rather die for the sake of the jade than to live with the tile. In any case, it wasn't just a day or two since he had the thought of leaving with his wife.
However, this young daughter that hadn't grown up yet had become his deepest and most helpless concern now. For her, he could no longer do as he pleased.
Watching the little girl grow up day by day, her body was gradually filled with the shadows of him and his wife, the feeling in Ding Zhaoyun's heart was hard to describe.
"Not bad, she has made great progress. When Dad was your age... You don't even have such good skills. Didn't you already rank first among your friends who studied with you? There really aren't many children who can take a few moves under Daddy's hands. Don't belittle yourself."
The corner of Ding Zhaoyun's mouth carried a trace of a smile as he comforted his daughter.
This was not the first time Ding Dingding had done this. In any case, her father's personality, which liked to mess around, was already up to her. In his life, this was the only time he had ever gotten angry at her. It was also because she had secretly snuck out with her little friend once and almost lost her. That time, it scared him so much that his heart seemed to be about to jump out. Fortunately, in the end, he was safe and sound, and he couldn't resist it. In the end, he had been fierce to his daughter once.
However, when he saw his daughter clench her teeth and stubbornly hold back her tears, she looked like a five-year-old girl who was unwilling to cry. She looked like her mother when she was angry and aggrieved. Then, she heard the whole story. She didn't know who told her that a kind of mud by the river could flatten the scars on her father's body. She secretly ran out to dig the river mud, which was why she was brought back like a loach by the river.
Ever since then, Ding Zhaoyun hadn't even said a single word to his daughter.
Ding Dingding pursed her lips. Although she was young, she could still hear the comforting tone in her father's voice.
"No means no. I don't want to compare myself with those little brats. I want to protect father and make him constantly vigilant. Furthermore, I want to be strong enough to be a match for my father. Only then can I really protect you for Mommy. Sigh, it's a pity that I still can't do it. Alright, I'll go back and summarize it properly and see what the problem is this time. Goodnight, Father."
After saying that, he turned around and left the room. Ding Zhaoyun didn't know how this idea appeared in her head, but in this short period of time... This little devil had been practicing martial arts diligently, and sometimes even pretended to be an assassin to "assassinate" himself.
In the beginning, it was usually easy to be discovered by the guards, but he didn't expect this little fellow to improve so quickly. This time, he had actually been able to directly appear in front of his guards without them noticing, even though it had something to do with his greeting. After all, her own efforts could not be erased.
No matter whether it was her father or mother, her daughter would have strong skills. Now, it seemed that if she continued to work so hard, her future achievements would not be lower than his.
Seeing his daughter leave like a young adult, Ding Zhaoyun smiled bitterly and shook his head. Such a young child, how could she carry such a burden on him? And he even seemed to be enjoying it. He had also tried to persuade her before, but in exchange, she was ignored for three days. Later on, he could only let her go. Anyway, it was not a bad thing.
After being messed with by Ding Dingding, this precious daughter, the annoyance in Ding Zhaoyun's chest eased by quite a bit. In short, what should come would come eventually. He wanted to develop in this chaotic world. It was virtually impossible to not depend on others and live freely in this illusionary martial arts world.
Although he also had an impressive strength, another kind of "strength" proved that his strength was still not enough.
Since he had already chosen to swallow his anger, even if it was only for his daughter, he was afraid that he would still have to continue this time. He had to endure everything, step by step. He did not know when this kind of life would come to an end.
At this moment, about two hundred miles away from Ding Zhaoyun, there was someone who had similar thoughts as him.
Leading the team, Zhang Jingxuan and the others had walked for five days. They had only walked half of the four hundred miles. They were slower than they had expected. However, this was also because Zhang Jingxuan had deliberately told everyone to slow down since yesterday.
This was because if they continued at their original speed, many people's bodies would not be able to take it anymore.
Since they were already far away from the provincial capital, the scouts did not discover any traces of the enemy chasing them. Then there was no need to maintain such a high speed of marching. Moreover, although most of these people were hardworking and hardworking, their bodies were not healthy because of hunger. Their bodies would not be able to adapt to the long march without training.
Even if they deliberately slowed down their speed, they would reach Shangluo in two or three days. The news that Zhang Jingxuan was waiting for had yet to arrive.
However, there was also other good news, which was that the problem of the deserters that troubled Hee Jinfeng and the others had basically been solved.
From the fourth day onwards, perhaps because the speed of the army had decreased, or perhaps because all those who should have escaped had fled, the remaining were all true men who were determined and unafraid of hardship.
These people were determined to follow Master Cereal God, and follow Cult Master Zhang into the sky. Create a new world! One! Different worlds were loyal to each other until death. This group of people would become Zhang Jingxuan's loyal troops in the future.
During this period of time, they automatically called Zhang Jingxuan the new leader of the Litre Bucket Sect. This could also be considered Zhang Jingxuan being trapped in his own trap. Although he wanted to prohibit it from being called this, it was not stopped. Later on, it was Lee Yao who advised him to let nature take its course and give up.
Zhang Jingxuan was still the same. After he finished his march every day, he led the troops in the middle to play around. However, there was an upgrade in playing, and it was changed to a group competition. It was often the shouting in the middle of the army's Uninformed Camp. The other divisions thought that the Uninformed Camp would continue to train at night. They were really putting their lives on the line.
Over the past few days, Zhang Jingxuan had selected seventy youths from the group of six to seven hundred people. He handed them over to Lee Huanqing for her guidance, as the core of the entire Unknowing Camp. The youths who had not been chosen rubbed their fists and rubbed their palms together, waiting for the next opportunity.
To Zhang Jingxuan, Lee Huanqing was a little like a mystery. She seemed to have some kind of magic. She had trained all the youths in the Unknowns to be obedient. If they treated Zhang Jingxuan like a god, then they treated Lee Huanqing like their own sister.
Although Lee Huanqing was slightly younger than some of them, she still could not change this point.
Lee Huanqing managed the Unknowing Camp in an orderly manner. She was not any worse than Hee Jinfeng and the others who were carefully trained by the Breeze Stronghold. She even surpassed some of the details, and Lee Huanqing did not take credit for it at all. Some of the credit went to Yuen Luoyuan and Gan Shichi.
