Chapter 96 Left Behind

Guozhao Zhiqiang stood in front of Huang Yueliang. He paid tribute to Huang Yueliang. Guozhao Zhiqiang said, "Thank you, aunty Lim."

Huang Yueliang said, "The southernmost end of this land is a land of unified bandits, so we have drawn a clear line with them from Lotus City Wharf to Ocean City wharf. Zhiqiang, if you and the Xian agreed, the wasteland is a vast expanse, with the talent of the Xians, I believe they can turn the wasteland into the beautiful land it was hundreds of years ago."

Guozhao Zhiqiang said, "I can't make decisions for them. I look like them, but my home is in Cloud City. No matter where this road takes me, the road that takes me home will never change."

Huang Yueliang sighed and said, "If everyone still stays in the south, I'm afraid they will be killed after you leave."

Chuju firmly rejected Hung Yueliang, "Thank you very much for helping to evacuate in times of crisis, but we are more willing to return to Green Forest."

Huang Yueliang said, "Lady Chuju, Green Forest is in your heart, not the land you stand on. Any place that can make you live happily will always be the place you call home."

A female Xian said, "Madam Lim's words are true."

Chuju said, "I can't decide for myself. Let's wait and see what others have to say." She looked at Huang Yueliang. "Madam Lim, how much do you know about King Chono?"

Huang Yueliang said, "I don't know, but if you look inside Waterfall City Library, there may be some documents about him."

It was Lim Peizhi who walked into the backyard. He said, "King Chono was an exiled prince from Nusha kingdom. When King Zheng was executed, King Zheng left his only son behind, so King Altan did not dare to kill the young prince when he took over the capital of Nusha. Afraid of angering the people of Nusha Kingdom, King Altan deliberately exiled the young prince to a small piece of land on the border, hoping to use one of our sountern generals to kill King Chono to compete for territory. After so many years, King Chono was not killed because he refused to participate in war. This angered and sabotaged King Artan's plan to get rid of the only thorn in his eyes, he sent his most trusted general to monitor King Chono. King Altan gave prince Chono the title of King just to save his face. Prince Chono's name has long been forgotten. Today, the Nusha people call him the unwanted exiled King."

Guozhao Zhiqiang said, "Does this mean the Xians were not originally imprisoned by King Chono?"

Lim Peizhi said, "I don't know about the Xian, so I can't say whether it is the King Chono or not." He looked at Guozhao Zhiqiang. "Zhiqiang, have you met with King Chono?"

Guozhao Zhiqiang shook his head, "Senior Lim, I haven't seen him yet."

Lim Peizhi said, "King Chono is ten years younger than you."

Guozhao Zhiqiang, "If he is a prisoner in his own family, then he is probably not the one who imprisoned the Xian."

Lim Peizhi looked at the Xians and said, "Everyone really needs to consider my wife's solution. King Chono may not want to kill you, but King Altan may want to kill you. Even if neither of the two kings wants to kill you, the people of the south will be wanting to hunt you down, claiming that eating your flesh will make them immortal. So, going back to Green Forest will only bring you short-lived happiness."

Chuju looked at Lim Peizhi, who had so much knowledge about military affairs. She looked at weak women and wounded men.

One of the women suddenly knelt in front of Chuju. She cried and begged, "Lady Chuju, I left my two children with the Fire Demon, please allow me to go back."

Lim Peizhi looked at Guozhao Zhiqiang, "There are still children left behind?"

Guozhao Zhiqiang nodded, "They are not pure blood Xian, so they can't not travel through the teleportation portal. I will go back and save them."

Lim Peizhi said, "Don't attack the enemy at ghost hours, they will be ready. Early in the morning, attack them before the cock crowing."

Yezi asked, "Why?"

Lim Peizhi said, "At that time the night watchmen will be very tired, and the morning watchmen will also be tired."

Guozhao Zhiqiang said, "I understand."

Huang Yueliang, "Zhiqiang, be careful on your way back."

Chuju held onto Guozhao Zhiqiang's left arm, "Where are you going?"

Guozhao Zhiqiang slowly removed Chuju's hand from his left arm, "I'm going back."

Chuju asked, "Why? They are not your family, nor your friends. We are saved now. Those people there don't even have full blood Xian."

Guozhao Zhiqiang, "I can't leave them behind, I'm a hunter, and I swear to protect the innocent and the weak."

A mother knelt in front of Guozhao Zhiqiang and pleaded, "Please take me with you. Even if my sons are not pure-blood Xian, they are still my children. I carried them for nine full months."

Chuju sighed, "Then we will accompany you." The ten women and two men nodded to Guozhao Zhiqiang. "You didn't leave us then, and we won't leave you."

Yezi said, "When we needed it most, the Fire Demon didn't leave us, and we won't leave him and the others."

Huang Yueliang looked at the three men and said, "The three of you are seriously injured. Letting you go back is equivalent to sending you to death. The three of you are not allowed to leave." She looked at the eight women and two men. "Let's suit you up before you go back."

Chuju, "Yezi, Madam Lim is right. You should stay here."

Huang Yueliang, "Let's get you prepared."

Waiting in the dark, Gen sat next to the two sleeping boys, watching the enemy camp below. Then Gen felt a small hand grab his. Gen turned around, and one of the boys was completely awakened, "Little guy, why are you awake? Go back to sleep."

The older boy said, "My name is Yanshi."

Gen smiled and said, "Oh, Yanshi, my name is Gen."

Yanshi pointed to the sleeping little boy and said, "His name is Juzi, my little brother."

Gen looked Juzi. He smiled and said, "Juzi."

Yanshi asked, "Uncle Gen, are they coming back for us?"

Gen said, "They'll come back for us."

Yanshi said sadly, "Most likely they won't come back for us."

Gen smiled and asked, "Little Yanshi, why do you think so?"

Yanshi said, "Because we are not pure blood Xian. Many times, others told our mother to leave us behind, but she refused. She told us that we must behave well so that no one will complain about us."

Gen smiled and said, "You two did a great job." He smiled. "If it was my son, he wouldn't listen to me." He gently rubbed Yanshi's head. "You know, my son is not a pure blood fire demon." He smiled. "Because I'm not a pure blood fire demon."

Yanshi asked, "What do you mean?"

Gen said, "I am a mixed race, and my wife is a pure blood fire wolf." He smiled at Yanshi. "You are luckier than me. Your mother didn't leave you, but as soon as I was born, my mother left me behind."

Yanshi reached out and held Gen's hand. He said sadly, "I'm sorry." He felt a little happy. "What's your son's name?"

Gen smiled and said, "His name is Zemin. He's only a few months old."

Yanshi's lips trembled and said, "Uncle Gen, I'm afraid, I'm afraid of being left behind."

Gen pulled Yanshi into his arms and held Yanshi tightly inside his arms. He said, "Uncle promised, no matter what happens tomorrow, uncle will take you and your brother out of here to see your mother."

Yanshi said with tears and sadness, "Many times, when we were left behind, my mother was always with us, but this time, she may not want us anymore."

"There's no mother in the world who doesn't want her own child. Trust me, I know because I'm a father and I'll love my child no matter what he looks like," Gen said. He hugged Yanshi even tighter. "Don't be afraid. You have to be brave for your mother, your brother, and yourself, right?"

Yanshi nodded, "Mmm."

Shan suddenly appeared in front of Gen. Shan said coldly, "Gen."

Gen said, "Shan..." He held Yanshi's hand. "Don't be afraid, he is our friend."

Shan said coldly, "Zhiqiang ordered you to activate the portal." He handed Gen a talisman.

Gen said, "Well, tell him that the enemy dare not come up the mountain. He should sleep well and eat well. I will active it tomorrow."

Shan said coldly, "He said now."

Gen threw the talisman on the ground, and Guozhao Zhiqiang walked out of the portal. Following Guozhao Zhiqiang were eight women and two men in Waterfall City's armor.

As soon as Shan saw Guozhao Zhiqiang he vanished.

Gen stood up and walked to Guozhao Zhiqiang. He asked, "Boss, why did you bring lady Chuju and the others back?"

Guozhao Zhiqiang said, "Because they want to come back, they don't want to leave anyone behind."

Chuju looked at Gen and said, "You didn't leave us, and we won't leave you when you need us."

Gen nodded happily, "I didn't expect that one day I would not be hunted down, but someone would back me up." He looked at Guozhao Zhiqiang. "Boss, thank you for giving me this opportunity." His eyes wetted with tears.

Seeing Gen happy, Chuju also had a smile on her face. She looked at Guozhao Zhiqiang and said, "I have considered General Lim's words and thought deeply about Madam's Lim suggestion. After we rescue the imprison Xians, we will gather all the hidden Xians. I will discuss this matter with my brothers. Most likely they will agree to leave Green Forest because we have had many bad memories here."

Guozhao Zhiqiang asked, "Are you sure?"

Chuju nodded, "I'm sure."

Guozhao Zhiqiang looked down at the enemies and said, "Good, then we'd better not die tomorrow."
