From a small soldier in the frontier army, an immortal god of war was born

Faced with these unscrupulous bandits, Wu Fengdeng did not hesitate at all. He simply waved his hand and a red lotus fire shot out, instantly setting them all on fire.

Ahhhhh!
How could these Skin Refining Realm minions be comparable to the ferocious Red Lotus Karma Fire? They were all burned to the point of being torn apart.

In fact, given the gap between them, normally these people should have evaporated instantly, but Wu Fengdeng controlled them so that they all remained awake and endured the feeling of being burned by fire.

At this time, Brother Hu, who had already rushed to the wall, couldn't help but look back. The bright flames instantly frightened him so much that his pupils dilated and his legs became a little weak.

"This... This is definitely above the Tuodan realm, or even... the Cangqi realm!"

He was now extremely grateful that he reacted quickly enough and did not fight hard after realizing the danger from this man, otherwise he would have been burned to charcoal by now.

run!
However, in the face of absolute strength, any little tricks were ultimately futile. Before he could even take a step, he felt the world around him freeze in an instant, and even moving his fingers was extremely difficult.

Then, it exploded with a loud bang!

Large pieces of broken flesh and blood splattered everywhere, staining Qiao Li and the others blood red, and the woman fainted from fright.

"Go and see how Lao Hu is injured."

Wu Fengdeng asked Jiang Qiyu to check his injuries, and at the same time came to Qiao Li and pulled him up from the ground.

"Boss! It's really you!"

Qiao Li stared blankly at the young man in front of him. The familiar face was exactly the same as before. This sudden surprise left him speechless.

"Let's talk inside."

……

After a moment, a few candles lit up in the lobby of the Qiao family, and this dark and dilapidated place was finally bright.

Lao Hu and Qiao Li's wife were lying quietly aside. Jiang Qiyu was healing them with spiritual energy. It seemed that their lives could be saved.

Wu Fengdeng looked around the dilapidated house. There was still dust on the table, and it was obvious that it had not been cleaned for a long time. It was hard to imagine that this was once the residence of one of the largest landlords in Guyang County.

Qiao Li brought a cup of tea from the darkness and placed it respectfully next to Wu Fengdeng. From the smell, one could tell that it was old tea that had been stored for a long time.

"It's only been two years, how could your Qiao family decline to this state?"

Qiao Li sat down, holding his waist and sighed deeply.

At this moment, he was no longer the dandy boy he used to be. His beard was messy and his face was weathered. He looked as if he had aged ten years.

"Boss, you don't know something."

Qiao Li said in a dead voice, "After you escaped from Wei State, the king issued a wanted order for you. A few days later, a large number of people came to us..."

Speaking of which, this is also related to Wu Fengdeng.

Because he was born in Guyang County, after he was wanted, Guyang County became a key search area, and all the people in the border army who had a relationship with Wu Fengdeng were controlled.

Although they were later acquitted, they were still implicated here, and the border troops were disbanded by the king in anger.

As for Qiao Li, who used to be associated with Wu Fengdeng, he was naturally investigated and interrogated. At that time, the old man of the Qiao family spent all his wealth and bought connections everywhere to successfully save him. As a result, the Qiao family fell into poverty.

Later, Grandpa Qiao passed away, and Qiao Li could not change his nature of eating, drinking and having fun, and soon squandered all the remaining land and money in the family.

At this point, the Qiao family had completely fallen into decline, and the servants and maids fled one after another, leaving only Qiao Li and his newly married wife in the huge courtyard.

It was not until then that he came to his senses and began to think of ways to earn money to support his family. Fortunately, he was a warrior and found a job in Guyang County, so the couple could barely make ends meet.

After Wu Fengdeng learned about the Qiao family's experience, he was silent for a moment, then said, "Since it was caused by me, I'm sorry."

He was an open-minded man, and he felt somewhat guilty seeing the Qiao family being implicated because of him.

"Boss, don't say sorry or not. You took good care of me in the past. The Qiao family is in this situation today because of my lack of knowledge and skills."

At this time, Qiao Li had also matured a lot, and understood that although his downfall seemed to be due to Wu Fengdeng's involvement, it was actually due to his own reasons.

If he had worked hard when he took over as the head of the family, he would have been able to make a comeback with the Qiao family's dozens of acres of fertile land and commercial properties in the city.

Unfortunately, he was only concerned with having fun.

Wu Fengdeng did not continue the topic, but looked at Lao Hu: "Why is he here with you?"

"Old Hu, when the border troops were disbanded, Old Hu had nowhere to go, so I asked him to take over a blacksmith shop in my Qiao family."

"You know what happened later. These bandits took advantage of the officials' absence to rob the wealthy. Old Hu had a bad temper, so... Alas."

Qiao Li sighed and shook his head.

In two years, Guyang County seems to have not changed, but in fact, things and people have changed.

Wu Fengdeng said: "I can take you and Lao Hu to live in Qin State and ensure that you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life. Are you willing to go?"

Qiao Li smiled, his smile was bitter: "Boss, I know you are a great man now, but, this is all I can do in my life. My lifelong goal is to rebuild the Qiao family in Guyang County."

"As for Lao Hu, he will probably choose to stay here and continue his iron-making life. You know he has no other hobbies."

After going through so much, Qiao Li has long since faced the reality and what he wants is very simple.

Wu Fengdeng nodded and did not force it. He took out a cloth bag from his sleeve and said, "I rarely carry money with me now. There are dozens of taels of gold and some jewelry in here, probably about a few hundred taels. You can use it."

"Also, I will send someone to bring you some cultivation resources in a few days. Your aptitude is enough to reach the realm of Tongjing, so it is better not to waste them."

"Well, thank you very much, boss!" Qiao Li did not refuse.

After a brief chat, Wu Fengdeng asked about the purpose of his visit: "Is Guyang County peaceful recently? Has anyone special come here?"

Qiao Li glanced at him, then said thoughtfully: "Boss, you are here for that matter too, right?"

"what's up?"

"Do you remember the old man Du Jianlian we killed when we first went out on a mission?"

Wu Fengdeng nodded: "He slaughtered the whole village at the beginning. After we wiped him out, the bodies were collected by the coroner."

"Yes."

Qiao Li's expression became much more serious, and he lowered his voice and said, "The problem lies with him!"

"Boss, you don't know. After you left here, I accidentally learned that the old man's body was not cremated. Instead, it was buried in the suburbs after the coroner examined it."

"But when I passed by there at the beginning of last month, I found that the mound had broken open and Du Jianlian's body was missing!"

"Was he poached?"

Wu Fengdeng's expression changed, and he subconsciously thought that it was done by the Yin-Yang family.

However, he quickly rejected this idea because Wangshu had not appeared here since the beginning of last month. Of course, the possibility of other Yin-Yang family members cannot be ruled out, but it is less likely.

After all, Wangshu is here again, there can’t be anything missing, right?
If it weren't for the Yin-Yang School, who else would be interested in Du Jianlian's body? Besides, it has been nearly two years, the body should have rotted away long ago. What's the point of keeping it?
"Wait, could it be that just like the heart of Nüba, Du Jianlian also has a special organ? But he is just a mere bone strengthening realm, so he shouldn't be qualified, right?"

Wu Fengdeng became more and more confused, and then he heard Qiao Li say, "This is not over yet, Boss. Recently, several villages around Guyang County have been massacred. According to the descriptions of those officials, it is exactly the same as what we encountered at the beginning!"

"So they all went out tonight to wait for the opportunity!"

"I think it must be Du Jianlian who has faked his death!"

Qiao Liyin leaned over and spoke solemnly.

Pretend to be dead.

Wu Fengdeng narrowed his eyes. Although this statement sounded absurd, it was not surprising that there were all kinds of evil things happening in this world. Perhaps Wangshu was targeting him.

"Where exactly did those officials go?"

"Taiping Town, a hundred miles east of the city."

"it is good."

Wu Fengdeng nodded and said, "Let's go and take a look. You can stay in Guyang for now. If you have any difficulties, you can ask for help from the county government, the county city, or Diqiu. Just say that you are an old friend of the Qin State's Champion Marquis."

Now Wei State is a vassal state of Qin State, and his title of Marquis of Champion is equally important. Even the royal family of Wei State has to treat him with great respect.

If it was just to protect a few ordinary people, this title would be enough.

Qiao Li didn't understand the weight of this title, but he knew that this was a powerful marquis that his ancestors had never been able to meet in several lifetimes, and he felt quite emotional.

I never thought that the big leg I held on to back then is still a famous figure throughout the entire Shenzhou continent.

"It's fate, and the heavens have been kind to our Qiao family."

"Official..."

At this moment, the woman who had fainted due to excessive fright finally woke up and sat up from the ground with a dazed face.

"Mayfair!"

Qiao Li hurriedly helped her up and searched her body. Fei'er also frowned tightly and looked around suspiciously.

"Sir, where are Brother Tiger and the others?"

"Why do I feel... like there's a warm current flowing through my body?"

"Madam, you have become a warrior!"

Qiao Li had tears in his eyes, and finally he cried with joy, and hugged her tightly in his arms, even though she didn't understand what was going on.

Turning around, the courtyard was quiet and cold. Wu Fengdeng and the other man were nowhere to be seen, as if they had never been there, like a dream.

"My dear, let's live a good life from now on..."

In the night sky, Wu Fengdeng and Jiang Qiyu were speeding towards the east of the city. Thin clouds were floating around them, and she quietly held the other's hand.

"Brother Fengdeng, I just felt the fetal movement inside my sister. It felt so wonderful."

This was the first time she came into contact with and felt the presence of a baby. Perhaps because there was a hibiscus seedling in her dantian, she was very sensitive to new energy. The baby's vigorous vitality left a deep impression on Jiang Qiyu, and even... her heart was moved.

But she also realized that the mother's body was very weak and might not be able to give birth to the baby smoothly, or the baby might die during childbirth.

So she also transformed her body, using the physique of a warrior to conceive, so that mother and child would be safe.

Thinking about it now, the strange feeling of the baby still lingers in my mind.

"Would you like one?"

"……Um."

Jiang Qiyu nodded with a slight blush on her cheeks.

Wu Fengdeng smiled and said, "It will be soon. When all this mess is over, we will get married with a baby."

"Listen to you."

She had no objection. After all, they were together all the time and could start the plan of having a child at any time.

As for the marriage ceremony, I feel it is dispensable.

After chatting for a while, a group of flames appeared in the dark blue area ahead, and the outline of a large town was vaguely visible.

Taiping Town.

"arrive."

Looking down from the air, most of the houses in Taiping Town were damaged, and the light before was not candlelight, but burning flames.

There were broken walls and ruins, with occasional human figures flashing by and faint cries coming from them.

"Is it over yet?"

Wu Fengdeng frowned slightly and stopped at the entrance of the town. He instantly smelled a very strong smell of blood.

When we walked into the official road, we found that there were corpses in the flames of the ruins. The causes of death were different. Some were brutally dismembered, and some died of suffocation.

But without exception, they were all officials in government uniforms, and some seemed to be ordinary residents who were affected by the disaster.

"Is there anyone still breathing? Save them first!"

In the chaos, a hysterical shout caught Wu Fengdeng's attention.

He was also a man in official uniform, covered in blood and scars, but not seriously injured, so he should be a survivor.

At this time, he was shouting loudly and looking for his colleagues, but it seemed that he was the only survivor, and the other officers were still motionless.

"Lao Zhang! Lao Zhang!"

"How come you died too?"

"how so……"

Blood and tears shone brightly in the firelight, and even this tough man couldn't stop crying.

He could never have imagined that so many people, so many warriors, were just waiting for an old man who had faked his death, but in the end, the entire army was wiped out.

Thinking back to the tragic scene before, he couldn't help shivering.

rustle~
A pair of long boots caught his eye.

I subconsciously looked up, and saw two extremely unfamiliar young men and women in front of me. Their clothes didn't look like they should be here.

"What happened? Where did Du Jianlian go? Tell me everything you know."

Wu Fengdeng knew they had failed when he saw this, so he didn't waste any more words and directly took out a Black Dragon Riders token, which he had asked Han Fei for before leaving, as an identity verification item.

Sure enough, the man exclaimed as soon as he saw it: "You, you are the Black Dragon Rider..."

"Stop talking nonsense and tell me everything you know."

"well!"

The man wiped his tears and blood quickly, kneeling on the ground and said, "We were a group of 18 people who wanted to wait here for the suspect Du Jianlian, but we didn't expect that he was too powerful now. We couldn't catch him at all. All the brothers except me died."

"Oh, by the way, there was also a strange woman at that time. She seemed to be even more powerful than Du Jianlian!"

"where are you now?"

"there!"

The man quickly pointed to the north and said, "I saw them chasing each other towards the north. Sir, you must..."

However, before he could finish his words, the two people in front of him disappeared in an instant, leaving only a slight whistling sound in the night sky, which made him stand there in a daze. (End of this chapter)
