"Dad, why don't you eat?" "Eat, I'm not hungry yet, eat slowly." Jiang Lei picked up the food slowly, and his attention was still on Jiang Ping. After not seeing him for almost a year, he felt that his son seemed to have changed a lot. "Son, why are you back? How is the situation in the Holy King City?" Finally, Jiang Lei talked about business. "It's OK. We've dealt with the things over there." Jiang Ping reported while eating.
"We opened the Holy King City, rekindled the King's Fire, and activated the King's Flags of the entire Holy Empire."
"It seems that Old Wang was right. In the end, it still depends on you to succeed. Now that the Holy King's Flag has been activated, there is no need to worry about the beast tide anymore." Jiang Lei's face was very relieved, and his heart, which had been hanging for a long time, was finally put down.
"Yes, there is no need to worry about the threat of the beast tide anymore." Jiang Ping murmured and repeated softly.
"Then you can stay well this time when you come back, and you don't have to run around anymore." Jiang Lei showed a happy smile on his face.
Jiang Ping looked at Jiang Lei carefully.
I realized that Jiang Lei had aged so much after not seeing him for so long.
There were many more white hairs on his head and many more wrinkles on his face.
His eyes were no longer as energetic as before, and he was obviously a little more tired.
He was old.
Jiang Lei was almost fifty years old.
In addition to what he has experienced in the past two years, as the director of the executive department of Huaihai College, he has been under tremendous pressure. He is haggard every day. How can he not be old?
"Dad, I will not go out in the future. I will stay here and we will protect Huaihai City together." Jiang Ping said.
"Now the sacred king flag has been reactivated. The monsters dare not approach. There is no need for protection. You young people, do whatever you want, don't worry." Jiang Lei said with a smile.
He doesn't need Jiang Ping to accompany him.
He is not an empty-nest old man.
As long as he can see Jiang Ping safe and sound, he will feel at ease.
"It's so dangerous outside, why go out? Of course it's better to stay here." Jiang Ping smiled.
Both father and son laughed.
Dinner was spent happily in laughter.
Jiang Ping did not tell Jiang Lei about all the things he experienced this time, but simply talked about the re-ignition of the sacred king fire.
And Jiang Lei didn't ask anything more.
Until the arrival of Wang Daochuan and Xi Yan, the atmosphere of the reunion between the father and son was broken.
"Jiang Ping, why did you come back secretly without telling us? And you asked us to come to you in person?" As soon as he entered the door, Wang Daochuan began to lecture.
"Principal, Minister Xi, good evening." Jiang Ping greeted them one by one and poured tea for them personally.
"Let's drink the tea later. Jiang Ping, please report the specific situation to us first." Wang Daochuan asked directly.
"In fact, it's nothing. It's just that we successfully opened the Holy King City that has been closed for many years, met the last Holy King, and under his guidance, re-ignited the Holy King Fire and activated the King Flag." Jiang Ping said simply.
He only talked about the results, not the specific details of the process
"Is it that easy?" Wang Daochuan didn't quite believe Jiang Ping's words.
"Then why did you come back alone? Mingyun and Zhao Mei had come back some time ago, but why didn't Yan Yue and Xiaoqing come back with you?" Xi Yan on the side asked the most core question directly.
Regardless of when Jiang Ping came back, at least Yan Yue and Xiao Qing didn't come back. "Xiao Yue... she still has something to do. The Holy King Fire needs her to guard it, so she can't come back for the time being." Jiang Ping's expression remained unchanged, but he felt a little pain in his heart. "Cong Qing... she is still in Storm City. I've been there, and Storm City is not as bad as we thought. Cong Qing got a lot of power there. She said she would stay there and come back after raising her realm." Xi Yan looked at him closely, his eyes narrowed slightly, "You lied. You said you would bring Xiao Qing back, but you didn't do it." "Why does the King Fire need Xiao Yue to guard it there? Isn't there a Holy King? Her realm is not high." Wang Daochuan was also a little confused. The main thing is that Jiang Ping has come back, so why can't the two of them come back. "I'm not lying to you. I also want to bring them back, but I can't bring them back for the time being." Jiang Ping spread his hands, his smile a little bitter. Why didn't he want to bring them back? But, he really couldn't do it...
"Hmph!"
Xi Yan swung his sleeves and turned away.
opened.
Wang Daochuan was half-believing and half-doubting, but this explanation was a little hard for him to accept.
"If they really can't come back for the time being, it would be nice to stay there and improve their strength."
"Yeah."
Jiang Ping could only nod.
Soon, Wang Daochuan also left.
Jiang Ping and his son were left in the room again.
"Son, don't worry, they are just like this. They didn't go to the Holy King City in person, so how can they know what happened specifically? Dad believes in you." Jiang Lei patted Jiang Ping's shoulder heavily,
"You have been outside for so long, you must not have had a good rest, go to bed early tonight, don't take the words of those two guys to heart."
Jiang Ping smiled and said, "Well, Dad, you should go to bed early too."
...
The night sky was cold, and the wind and snow were swaying.
Jiang Ping stood by the window, opened the window, and let the cold wind outside blow on his face, his consciousness was cold.
"Huaihai City... I will defend it here."
"I will also defend the Holy Empire."
...
The next day, Jiang Ping woke up early.
The first thing he did when he woke up was to call Jiang Lei and Wang Daochuan.
But surprisingly, Xi Yan was not there.
"Where did Minister Xi go?"
Wang Daochuan was silent for a moment, and said, "Old Xi went to Storm City."
Jiang Ping was silent.
Xi Yan has always been the kind of person who is not good at expressing himself.
But his love for Xi Congqing is understandable.
After knowing that Jiang Ping did not bring Xi Congqing back, he did not get angry with Jiang Ping, but chose to go to Storm City himself to find Xi Congqing.
In this regard, Jiang Ping could only remain silent.
He could not bring Xi Congqing back, and there was no reason to stop Xi Yan.
"Don't worry, don't worry about that guy, he knows what's going on, nothing will happen." Wang Daochuan disagreed,
"Why did you call me here so early? What's the matter?"
Going straight to the point, Jiang Ping didn't beat around the bush, his expression was serious and earnest:
"Dad, principal, I want to reunify the Holy Empire, integrate all the cities, and reproduce the original glory."
Jiang Lei touched his forehead, then touched his own forehead,
"You don't have a fever? What nonsense are you talking about, son?"
"It's not our responsibility to unify the Holy Empire, and we can't do it. This is what the Holy King has to do." Wang Daochuan also said.
This proposal is really ridiculous.
"I know."
"But I am the Holy King!"
