Chapter 49.6 A Fatal Misunderstanding

At the same time.

On the other side, after sending Huangfu Du’s head to the capital of Dong state, Huangfu Xiong didn’t dare to delay even for a moment and rushed towards Jin state with his own personal bodyguards.

Halfway through the journey, the jade token on his waist suddenly lit up. It was the news from the old servant who served closely by his big brother’s side, saying that Huangfu Jun found a Pearl of Remembrance in Huangfu Du’s body. Presumably it was the evidence that Huangfu Du had hidden before he died.

After Huangfu Jun inspected the Pearl of Remembrance alone, not only did he vomit blood, he even couldn’t utter a word. He also didn’t want to tell others by his side about what had happened. The old servant was very worried and repeatedly urged that Huangfu Xiong have to move faster and return to the capital of Dong as soon as possible to look after Huangfu Jun.

Huangfu Xiong punched his own head more than twenty times, feeling very remorseful inside——If he had been more careful and found the pearl by himself, he would check on it first for his big brother, so that he would be mentally prepared and won’t be so angry that he even vomited blood.

Thinking like this, he was even more anxious. As if being burned, he accelerated the speed and soon passed through Dong state, crossed the border of Tu state, and arrived in Jin state.

There are many plains and basins in Jin state. The climate is colder, the rocks are grayish white color, and the vegetation is basically moss and lichen. At a glance, the huge open land is white and green, and huge mines can be seen everywhere.

Jin state is rich in iron ore, which is the most suitable for making armor.

The local residents here almost no longer join the army and they have all become miners. The Huangfu clan covered the sky with one hand. Although the people of Jin state joined the arm, they were elbowed out and suppressed, not being able to lift their head. This one state has long been reduced to Huangfu clan’s private mine. Looking at this beautiful land, Huangfu Xiong felt proud and painful at the same time in his heart.

For whom are they working hard for?

After stepping through a large area of wasteland densely covered with mines, a half-weathered grayish white city appeared in front of him.

Huangfu Xiong entered the city and carefully collected the remains of his nephew, Huangfu Du. He loaded them into the carriage, and then took HUangfu Du’s wife, Jin Lanlan, back to Dong state.

Jin Lanlan has been married to Huangfu for only less than half a year. They are just a newly married couple. Just after she became pregnant, she suddenly lost her husband. Her entire person was crying disorderly without any aim, so pitiful.

Huangfu Xiong has also more than heaved a sigh.

A few days later, when the convoy finally returned to the territory of Dong state. When they passed through the main road in Fuling city, Huang Fuxiong suddenly heard a very clear voice coming from the inn beside the road——

“…… In order to take revenge for Xiao Meng, the elder brother who died in vain, Xiao Zhong bravely marched into the ancient tomb of mysterious people where no one had been able to get out alive, by himself, only to get the peerless divine soldiers. In the face of brotherhood, which is as heavy as mountains and seas, how can he care about his own safety and life?”

Huangfu Xiong raised his hand and stopped the convoy’s march.

The story floating down from the second floor of the inn happened to fit the mood of Huangfu Xiong at the moment.

Thinking again of his nephew’s unclear death and also his elder brother’s vomiting blood in bed, Huangfu Xiong just felt that his heart had been stirred heavily. Unconsciously, he was fascinated and stood quietly under the inn. He wanted to hear whether this Xiao Zhong in the story could succeed in obtaining the divine soldiers to avenge his elder brother.

Gradually, Huangfu Xiong only felt that he had been taken into the ancient tomb, and the back of his neck felt cold, as if he was walking in the dim tomb with a light in his own hand.

The turtle bug in the tomb was about the size of a small calf. When Xiao Zhong finished off the turtle bug with a unique secret skill, Huangfu Xiong’s heart was also put back to its original place. He felt that the secret skill was really terrible.

“My fate is up to me, not heaven!” The words that make the finishing touch are extremely elegant and valuable.

Huangfu Xiong, who was downstairs, was smashed into tears. He felt his whole body warming up and galloping, resonating endlessly.
