Chapter 132 The General's Son!
"I have a friend," said the old man.

Bandit Tang glanced at the old man, making friends out of thin air?

No matter what topic a man is talking about, if he uses this sentence as the beginning, then the matter is probably about himself.
Bandit Tang suspected that the old man was making up a story again. If he really made up a story, he would leave without looking back, and never believed him again.

He had heard two of his stories and didn't want to hear the third...

"From a very young age, his dream was to be a general."

"I'm the opposite of him. I'm afraid of death and bloodshed. I don't dare to go into battle and fight people. So I want to work behind the scenes and design some armor or weapons to help him in his battle."

"The two of us have agreed a long time ago, and we will work hard towards this goal. He will fight bloody in the front, and I will build the most powerful weapon mecha for him in the back."

"He is a martial arts prodigy, he entered the grand master realm at a young age, he is the youngest junior grand master in the history of the Phoenix Empire, and he is also the man who has the most hope of becoming a grand master and reaching the pinnacle of martial arts. There is no such thing as the March Seven Stars nowadays." You can’t compare with him, you’re not even worthy to carry his shoes.”

"At that time, Nova was still relatively turbulent, and wars between countries broke out more frequently, especially in order to compete for resources and land between our country and the Ossi Empire, we fought to the death and issued national mobilization orders several times."

"In troubled times, it's time for a hero to emerge. My friend started as an ordinary mechanical soldier, and then quickly became the commander of a battalion. A military miracle."

"His promotion speed is also very fast. He is in charge of a division and an army. Before he was 40 years old, he had become the generalissimo of the empire who commanded the entire army."

"Although he comes from a famous family, he doesn't have the arrogance and arrogance of those sons of aristocratic families. He is as close as a brother to every soldier. Every time he fights, he always rushes forward, and every time he retreats, he always walks behind."

"He never gave up on any of his teammates. He always told everyone that you are also the children of your parents and the parents of your children. The general is a human being, and you are also human. The general has a family, and so do you."

"It's actually very stupid to do this, because on the battlefield, everything changes in an instant. It is very likely that a negligence may put him in danger. However, it is such a stupid thing that he persisted in doing for decades, and was caught The number of people he saved is countless. No matter where he is the chief officer, the soldiers there like him very much, and they are all proud to be his soldiers..."

"My wife is a medical soldier. When they rushed to the front line for rescue, their medical plane was intercepted by the people of the Austro Empire, and all the doctors were captured."

Bandit Tang looked at the old man in surprise, and asked, "Are you married?"

The old man never mentioned his family, let alone his marriage.

He also once asked the old man where he came from, and he said he came from a very distant place.

At that time, the bandits in the Tang Dynasty did not have a definite concept of the word "distant", thinking that Lingyang City was already far away.

The old man didn't answer Tang Bandit's question, as if he was completely immersed in the memories of the past, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone knows that the bad relationship between the two countries at that time fell into the hands of the soldiers of the Austro Empire. , These medical soldiers are afraid that it will be very difficult to survive, and they may be worse than death, and they will be abused and humiliated inhumanely."

"After he knew it, he led his mechanical battalion to chase after it, slaughtered all the Ostian Empire troops that were several times larger than his own, and rescued the medical team completely."

"I asked him why he did this, and he said that as a battalion leader, it is extremely risky and irrational to do so. But as my brother, he can't just sit and watch his brother's family fall into the hands of the enemy and destroy his family. People die and do nothing"

"If there is nothing that can be done, forget it. If there is something that can be done but choose to sit on the sidelines because of fear for his own safety, it will make him feel bad for the rest of his life."

"At that time, I was just a mechanic in the equipment department. I thought that I didn't need to go to the battlefield, so I didn't need to practice and learn those boring ancient martial arts. Until then, I didn't realize how small I was, how vulnerable"

"Another time, there was a problem with a batch of materials from the equipment department. The weapons that were supposed to be equipped with our army appeared on the black market and were first used by the Galaxy mercenaries. The military department was furious and began to inquire about this Who actually sold the batch of materials. After checking and checking, I was found, and all the sales lists of materials have my signature on it.”

"I was arrested. The witnesses and evidence plus those who signed all the charges point to me. During the war, selling arms and weapons privately is a capital crime. What awaits me is a dead end. The trial will come down soon, and the three Months later, he will be injected to death”

"At such a critical moment, in order to avoid suspicion and protect themselves, the family has no way to stand up and save me. Because at that time, some people did not believe that I did it alone, but the behavior of our family as a whole..."

"He stood up and said that he was willing to guarantee with his own head that it was absolutely impossible for me to do such a thing."

"Then he rushed to the black market himself, arrested a large number of mercenaries, tortured and interrogated them in the most brutal and direct way, which took two months and 27 days, and was stripped layer by layer by him. Find out the truth, and find the culprit who really resells the arms and has the ability to shirk the crime on me. It is a prince of the imperial royal family."

"Three days, only three days. If he took a breath and took a nap, I would have died, and my bones would have turned to ashes."

"The emperor also wanted to save the prince from the death penalty, and sentenced him to 20 years in prison. He disagreed, saying that the country has national laws, and the family has family rules. If the national laws and military laws vary from person to person, then it will be abolished according to the person. He forced the royal family to use it to me. executed the prince in the manner of the sentence"

"Perhaps, this is also one of the fuses of that incident. The royal family was very afraid of him, and they were extremely afraid of their family. They wanted to uproot them and get rid of them quickly."

Speaking of the old things he experienced, the old man's eyes glowed red again, and the hand holding the cup began to shake slightly.

"Later, later he was killed, not only himself, but also his family, his wife, and the newborn child. Their entire family was killed."

"Phoenix City Bloody Night. Arresting people during the day and killing people at night. They just killed for 39 days."

"I heard that the groundwater in Phoenix City was dyed red, and the rats and cockroaches in the ground grew fatter that year than in previous years."

A vicious smile appeared on the old man's face, and he said in a cold and mocking voice: "Do you know what crime he was killed for?"

Bandits Tang did not answer.

He knew the old man didn't need his answers.

He just needs to be a quiet listener, and what he needs most now is a listener.

Bandit Tang could see that these words had been held in his heart for too long.

Squeeze until his temperament changes drastically, until he looks haggard, until his head is covered with white hair and wrinkles on his face.

He is a brilliant practitioner. According to his current age, he should be extremely energetic and his face should be more than ten or twenty years younger than he is now.

But now, he is really old and out of shape.
He is older than ordinary people of this age.

"Treason." The old man laughed loudly, hoarsely, leaning forward and backward, laughing until tears and nose mixed together. "Treason. I joined the army at the age of 16 and served in the army for 23 years. I have fought more than 200 times, and I have more than 300 scars on my body. I almost died more than a dozen times. Dozens of times I was carried back from the gate of hell by my brothers."

"The arrogant Aussie Empire, whose spine was broken by him, couldn't hold its head up in front of the Phoenix people. Those seventeen small countries that were ready to move and try to fish in troubled waters were beaten by him to the point of being unable to protect themselves, and in the end they could only form the Kaman Federation. "

"Such a person. Such a person who sacrificed everything for the empire. He was executed for treason. How humiliating is this?"

"What's even more ridiculous is that in order to make an example of others, he was killed by burning at the stake and broadcast live to the world through video equipment."

"Hahaha, those stupid pigs and dogs, they actually believed them, they really believed that he had treasoned the country, and they really believed that their family wanted to rebel."

"They slandered, humiliated, and scolded them in every possible way, how shameful and hateful they deserved to die."

"They were burned to death and burned to ashes. Those who were loyal to him raised their butcher knives against him. Those who were guarded by him desperately slandered him."

"You said, how ridiculous this world is"

"These people, don't they deserve to die?"

"Is it all to die?"

At the end, the old man burst into tears, covering his face and weeping bitterly.

There is hatred in his heart.

After so many years, it has not disappeared or diminished.

Even like that old wine, the more it is brewed, the thicker it is, every time I think about it, it makes people feel heartbroken and burns inside.

How many times he wanted to say it out loud.

How many nights, he wanted to cry heartily.

However, he can't.

He wants to protect the Tang bandits and guard the seedlings of Tang bandits.

Before he grew into a towering tree, even revealing a little bit of identity information would be a devastating blow to him.

He was too aware of the feeling of powerlessness, of the feeling of weakness that wanted revenge but couldn't do it, how uncomfortable it was, and how desperate it was.
Day after day, it devours one's mind and turns one into a violent and twisted monster.

The best way to deal with it is to let Bandit Tang grow up freely and live without worries.

He gave all the kindness to Tang bandits, and left all the pain to himself to suffer silently.

Unexpectedly, Tang Bandit picked up a phoenix while hunting.
This is the arrangement of fate?Is this the chance of revenge given to them by God?
Originally, he wanted to wait a little longer, but he felt that the current bandit Tang was still too fragile and insignificant.Not enough time to step up and take responsibility for it all.

However, Bandits Tang did not expect to meet Lu Whisper in the Mechanical Department, and both of them had doubts about him at the same time:
Lu Whisper doubts whether he is back, Tang Bandit suspects his relationship with Lu Whisper.
As a result, Bandit Tang followed Lu Whisper and was taken into the Luban formation.

At this time, it was no longer realistic for him to want to hide his identity.

With this guy's spirit-like personality, I'm afraid he already knew the answer.

Bandit Tang poured the old man a cup of tea, then sat beside him and waited quietly.

a long time.

a long time.

When the old man had finished venting his emotions, Bandit Tang handed over the tissue he had prepared.

The old man didn't answer, and wiped his tears with his sleeve.

"That friend you mentioned." Bandit Tang looked at the old man and asked aloud, "Is that Tang Li?"

For some reason, when the name was mentioned, Bandit Tang's heart throbbed.

There is a very weird feeling, as if the two of them seem to be old acquaintances, or have some kind of connection.

He felt that he should have seen him.
Or admire his charisma and lament his miserable fate.
Or maybe it was because of the relationship between the old man and his brother. If the old man hadn't been implicated by him, he wouldn't have fled to the old land.

If he hadn't fled to the old land, he wouldn't have such a family.

The old man looked at Bandit Tang strangely, and asked, "Do you know him?"

"I know." Bandit Tang nodded, and said, "When I was in Old Earth, Fenghuang also said that he wanted to be a general, that he wanted to be a powerful general like Tang Li."

"I knew the name Tang Li from her, and I heard some stories about him. After I came to Xinxing, I often saw that name, but I couldn't find the video of the fire torture back then."

"It's really ironic." A sneering smile appeared on the corner of the old man's mouth, and he said, "The traitors identified by their ancestors have become a role model for the younger generation."

"So." Bandit Tang looked at the old man's grief-stricken look, and said aloud, "It's because of that friend that you left Xinxing and fled to Old Land."

"Yes." The old man took a drink of tea and said aloud.

"This is unreasonable." Bandit Tang shook his head and said, "With the strength of the Gongshu family and their development over the years, it is obvious that they should not have been involved in that incident, and they may even have vested interests. "

"Since that's the case, it's more than enough for them to protect a direct family line, right? There's no reason for a talented mechanic to leave the wasteland."

Bandit Tang looked at the old man thoughtfully, and asked aloud, "What did you do that even your family can't protect? So you have to leave?"

"Yes." The old man nodded and said, "I took Tang Li's son away."

Bandit Tang suddenly felt his heart beating faster, and even his breathing became heavy. He stared at the old man with wide eyes and said, "What do you mean?"

"Tang Li's son is not dead, it's someone else's son who died." The old man looked at Bandit Tang with a serious expression, and said in a deep voice.

"his son."

"It's you." The old man said firmly, "Tang bandit, you are Tang Li's son."

　These two days are really stuck, I know what to write, but I have to find the most suitable way of expression.

　　I'm hesitating, I'm hesitating, I'm hesitating to reveal the truth of Tang Bandit's identity at this time, push the story to a more extreme direction, and pull the emotional line to the extreme...
　　It's better to take it slow and give Tang bandits more room for growth, a higher realm, a deeper relationship... let them have more freedom and happiness.

　　This is a major node choice for the entire book.

　　I have imagined all the possibilities, and pulled all the branch lines.

　　Then, I chose this more brutal way of writing.

　　The article seems to see the mountains not happy, starting from today, starting from this chapter.

　　The real blackening road of Tang bandits is about to begin, and the bloody journey of revenge has also begun.
