Chapter 79: The Scars Must Be Exposed!

  "Now you've come to me, but you're worried that working with me will arouse the suspicion of the Crown Prince, and yet you want to stay out of it? But then you say I shouldn't have looked for you?" Chu Yang sighed: "You're also getting on in years. Why do you speak so illogically?"

  "Hahaha......" Upon hearing Chu Yang's words, the guards of Iron Dragon City glared at him with anger; but Iron Dragon City himself burst into loud laughter and strode out in big steps.

  He walked to the door, but then turned back and looked at Chu Yang: "I like these few swords of yours very much; but 100,000 taels of gold is too expensive. As for the heavenly treasures, I do have a lot. However, those are still needed to save the lives of the generals, so they can't be exchanged. But I really like your sword, what should we do?"

  Chu Yang was so angry that he had never seen anyone with such a thick skin. So, it seemed that he wanted to make himself give him a sword.

  Irately said: "But these swords, I also can't bear to part with, naturally cannot give to anyone, and among them the one that absolutely cannot be given is you!"

  "Hahaha……" Iron Dragon City laughed extremely happily, wiping away tears of laughter and said: "Kid, you will give it to me; I guarantee! When the time comes, I'll pretend not to want it, and won't accept it until you've tried giving it to me several times; just wait."

  After finishing, another burst of hearty laughter erupted, leaving behind a sentence that made no sense, turned around and walked out the door, and just like that, he was gone.

  "You want me to beg you? Then just wait!" Chu Yang hummed: "The sky hasn't even darkened yet, and you're already having a nice dream!"

  The sound of brushing outside the door started, neat and orderly; however, in just a few breaths, all the soldiers on the entire street withdrew without making a single sound.

  In the distance, a faint hubbub of noise was coming. The streets were starting to come back to life.

  Chu Yang turned his head around and was about to say something when he suddenly grew a big mouth.

  Only Gu Du Xing was left in front, that strange girl, had somehow already gone missing. She came here, seemingly only asked about the price, didn't do anything else. Just like that, she vanished...

  "How did you get here?" Chu Yang scratched his head.

  "Mind your own business. I'm only asking you... " Gu Du Xing looked at him deeply: "Are you prepared to intervene in the war between Tie Yun Country and Da Zhao Empire?"

  Chu Yang nodded slightly and said, "Not bad."

  "This is a very unwise decision! You and I are just martial artists, what does that mean, you wouldn't know. Martial artists, in the lower three days' position, the attitude of various national courts towards martial artists, you would know even more. Moreover, whether it's the imperial court or the battlefield, both are much more dangerous than the Jianghu, I don't think this is a good decision."

  "I know this isn't the way of a warrior, and I also know the danger that lies within. Moreover, I know that once I embark on this path, I can die at any time and anywhere without even a burial ground. But, I have reasons that make me unable to not intervene." Chu Yang looked at Gu Du Xing and said deeply: "Just like you would rather die ten thousand times than not save Gu Miao Ling, I also have the same reason as you."

  Gu Du Xing looked into Chu Yang's eyes, and what he saw was a deep-seated pain and longing hidden in Chu Yang's gaze. That profound emotion was even more intense than his own feelings for Gu Miao Ling!

  Gu Du Xing slowly nodded his head. At this moment, he suddenly understood why Chu Yang wanted to help him rescue Gu Miao Ling, although Chu Yang didn't say it explicitly, but Gu Du Xing already knew what was on his mind.

  Because Chu Yang also has such a beauty! So, he does not allow such a wonderful woman to disappear like this, nor does he allow such a sincere and beautiful emotion to be extinguished by the wind.

  At this moment, Gu Du Xing felt a surge of emotion in his heart.

  "If you think it's too dangerous, you can still back out now." Chu Yang said calmly: "I'll do what I promised you, no matter what."

  "I also want to retire... but I also know that the fastest way to improve one's skills is on the battlefield." Gu Du Xing suddenly burst out laughing, and his smile was incredibly bright: "Moreover, I've already promised you that I'd sell these ten years of my life to you. Although I want to retire, I value my promises even more."

  He blinked his eyes and said: "You only know that you keep your promises, but you wouldn't want me to let Gu Du Xing become an untrustworthy person, would you?"

  Chu Yang looked at him for a long time, finally smiled and said: "Not bad, I thought you would break your promise and become fat, really didn't think you weren't."

  Gu Du Xing burst out laughing and punched him hard on the shoulder, they exchanged a glance, and suddenly both of them started laughing. At this moment, a kind of brotherly affection that shares life and death, facing wind and rain together, quietly sprouted from each other's heart.

  I'll work hard for your sake, and you can die for me. That's all!

  The two young men truly acknowledged each other at this moment, but neither of them said it out loud. Instead, they both used promises as a reason to cover up their true feelings.

  But they both knew that each other knew what they knew.

  The smile at this moment is very warm.

  In the midst of the departing army's crowd, Iron Dragon City and that girl were speaking in hushed tones.

  Tielong City: "This man is useful. Very useful."

  Girl: "Oh? Really?"

  "Don't play dumb with me, what did you come here for? And why are you alone?"

  “……”

  "This person is going to deal with the Fifth Gentleman, although I don't know the reason, but from the opening of the Heavenly Soldier Pavilion, the two words 'Heavenly Soldier' have made me understand his intention." Iron Dragon City revealed a smile: "This is beyond doubt, no one would be foolish enough to open the Heavenly Soldier Pavilion under Iron Cloud. Because these two words are Iron Cloud's taboo. But he did, so I think this person may not know about the previous matter."

  The girl nodded and suddenly turned her head: "Second Uncle was it because of this? So he..."

  "Yes, that's why I came. Because he met you at the city gate and your interest in him was a bit too obvious. Seeking talent is a good thing, but you're still young after all. Second Uncle may be old, but he can help you take a look first." Iron Dragon City smiled: "I just didn't expect you to come so quickly."

  "So everything Second Uncle said was meaningful," the girl thought for a moment and smiled, "every sentence was a hint? Second Uncle is indeed clever."

  "He's going to take on the Fifth Soft, and you're showing up here, so of course I have to let him know how much we've paid for taking on the Fifth Soft. That's a prerequisite, but some of those secrets he mentioned, I really don't know."

  "But this has reopened the wound in Er Bo's heart..." The girl took a deep breath and said solemnly, "I know that in the entire Iron Cloud Country, the person who least wants to mention what happened back then is you, Er Bo; but today, you brought it up yourself. You did all of this for me."

  "It's also for Iron Cloud." Iron Dragon City walked silently, his face stern: "I don't want to mention it, but that doesn't mean it never happened. Since you plan to use this person, the more he knows, the better. One day, Second Uncle will reach a point where he can no longer take the field, and I don't want you to make a wrong judgment because of outdated history."

  "So it must be said! The scars, too, must be exposed!"
