Chapter 1078: 1078
Chapter t
"I saw this person at Lord Xu Wuya's side before," Zhou Tingyu said . He had eventually decided to speak the truth after hesitating for a while . "He's one of Lord Xu Wuya's three most trusted lieutenants and has served at his side for many years . He's known as Zhang Wuxin, and we served in the same unit previously . "
Zhang Wuxin?
The trusted lieutenant of Xu Wuya, the Dragon Human Race's War God?
Ye Qingyu's expression changed a little .
The answer given to him was beyond his original expectations .
Ye Qingyu recalled that in the memories that the Puppet Bloodworm had collected from Wei Wubing, Zhang Wuxin had taken part in the sneak attack against Ren Puyang . If he was one of Xu Wuya's men, did it mean that the War God of the Dragon Human Race was one of the masterminds behind Ren Puyang's assassination?
"From what you've just told me, this Zhang Wuxin should be with Xu Wuya now, right?" Ye Qingyu questioned Zhou Tingyu further .
Zhou Tingyu did not know why Ye Qingyu was so concerned about this, but continued to reply to him truthfully, "Not exactly . Lord Xu Wuya is fond of giving his men opportunities . As long as they are truly capable, he'll place them in important positions, regardless of their background or race . Take me for example . I was merely an ordinary citizen of the Dragon Human Race and a personal guard of his . His testimonial allowed me to take up the post of commander of the shock troops in Dragon Scale Province . Zhang Wuxin was a valiant officer in the Dragon Teeth Army and was well-liked by our lord . Four years ago, he had already taken control of a province himself, and now he's the highest ranking official in Snow Dragon Province . "
"Oh? Snow Dragon Province?" Ye Qingyu replied and nodded slightly .
"Sir, you asked about Zhang Wuxin because . . . ?" Zhou Tingyu asked a little curiously .
Ye Qingyu glanced at him and replied casually, "You'll understand why in the near future . "
Zhou Tingyu did not dare to question him further .
"Now that all three regular armies of the Dragon Scale Province are under your control, it shouldn't be a problem for you to suppress the entire province, right?" Ye Qingyu asked .
Zhou Tingyu replied with a serious expression, "Now that you've helped me set the stage, my lord, what's left for me is only to clean things up . If I can't even manage that, I wouldn't have dared to ask you to intervene, my lord," Zhou Tingyu said, his tone revealing his solid self-confidence . He had been the commander of an army once, and he was a strong martial arts expert who began his career at the side of Xu Wuya, the God of War . He could not have gone through all of that without possessing some real skills .
Ye Qingyu nodded and replied, "Fine, I'll be leaving today . Take care of yourself and treat my people well . If I hear that you've been slaughtering them like Xu Xuesheng, I'll hunt you down and slay you, no matter if it's in heaven or hell . Even Xu Wuya himself can't protect you then . Is that clear?"
Zhou Tingyu replied hurriedly, "Rest assured, my lord . I'm willing to swear a martial vow to never kill any human, and that I'll be struck down by heavenly lightning and turned into ash if I do . . . " He then proceeded to vow solemnly .
Zhou Yuexin was standing in a corner, quietly listening to them speak .
The beautiful, kind, and soldierly maiden of the Dragon Human Race had been very curious about Ye Qingyu since she had met him .
Her lover was a warrior from the Human Race . As such, she had a good impression of Ye Qingyu and did not have a strange feeling of superiority when she was dealing with humans .
"May I know where will you heading next, my lord?" Zhou Yuexin asked as she blinked her large eyes .
"To the Snow Dragon Province to meet Zhang Wuxin," Ye Qingyu replied without any attempt to conceal his intentions . He paused for a while before continuing, "Perhaps, I may even meet up with Xu Wuya, the legend of the Dragon Human Army . "
Zhou Yuexin's eyes lit up instantly after hearing him .
"You want to go to where the Dragon Teeth Army is situated? My lord . . . can you bring me along?" she asked, full of hope .
Her lover, who she had been thinking of every day and night, was in the Dragon Teeth Army .
They had already been separated for quite some time, and Zhou Yuexin was at the age where girls had their first awakening of love . Her heart ached with love, and girls her age would easily give unconditional love to their lovers . How could she not think about him? She wished that she could be with him every day, and she had been wanting to meet him for a long time, but dark times were suddenly upon everyone . Bandits and trouble were everywhere, and countless strongmen had risen . Furthermore, the situation in Hidden Dragon City was unstable and she could not bear to leave her father behind . Even if she did, the journey would be fraught with danger and difficult to complete . However, now that she heard Ye Qingyu wanted to head to the Dragon Teeth Army, she was instantly overjoyed . What obstacle could possibly trouble a peerless martial arts expert like him?
"You?" Ye Qingyu took another look at her .
He was puzzled as to why he kept meeting people who asked to follow by his side ever since he entered the domain of the Dragon Human Race . Before, he had met Hao Jianren, and now, Zhou Yuexin was requesting the same thing .
"I believe that you must have come from a foreign domain, my lord . Regardless of what you hope to achieve by coming into the domain of the Dragon People, you look like it's your first time here . You're unfamiliar with this place, while I grew up here . I've been to all of the major provinces in this domain, and I can be your guide," Zhou Yuexin said, trying hard to convince Ye Qingyu .
Zhou Tingyu thought about something as he heard his daughter speak to Ye Qingyu . "My lord, my daughter is right . She traveled around everywhere in this domain when she was younger and is very familiar with the lay of the land here . If you need a guide, she'll be your best option; she's very knowledgeable . "
Ye Qingyu thought about it and nodded, "Alright . "
He was planning to look for Zhang Wuxin and the other nobles of the Dragon Human Race, and he knew that he would set off alarm bells by trying to force his way to them . Even if he managed to slay Zhang Wuxin, what if the others managed to hide themselves? After all, Zhang Wuxin could not have been the only murderer who schemed to assassinate Ren Puyang . Zhou Yuexin was familiar with the geography and happenings in the Dragon People Domain, and she was friendly toward humans . As such, she would definitely qualify as a guide .
As for Hao Jianren, there would be no need to bring him along .
"This is great," Zhou Yuexin said, overjoyed .
"I'll go prepare and come back shortly," the maiden said excitedly as she turned to leave and pack up .
Zhou Tingyu was standing beside them, and he seemed to have stopped himself from speaking a few times . Even until now, he did not know what Ye Qingyu's true identity was .
Human martial arts experts of such a level would definitely not remain unknown in the Vast Thousand Domains . He had tried to guess Ye Qingyu's true identity in private before to no avail . No one would have been able to connect such a gentle and noble looking young man to the legendary bloodthirsty Insane Devil Ye . Furthermore, there were many rumors about him in the domain of the Dragon Human Race, but most of them were not true . Many of them described Ye Qingyu as a giant with three heads and six arms . . .
That said, Zhou Tingyu did not dare to clarify his doubts .
The respect he had for Ye Qingyu was indeed extreme .
Zhou Yuexin returned very quickly after packing up her belongings . She had changed into a snowy white set of warrior's clothes and carried a sword on her back; her getup was exactly like that of a sword-carrying maid . She looked extremely cute and as elegant as icy snow . She hopped over to Ye Qingyu and said happily, "From today on, I'm your sword attendant, sir . "
Ye Qingyu smiled .
Both of them left Hidden Dragon City .
