Chapter 68: Identity Exposed

  "Self-study, did we hear a carefree voice?" Zheng Xiaohu's face was full of disbelief.

  Xing Zixue also heard the voice, and at this moment his head was also dizzy. Could it be that Xiao Yao had become a bandit? Otherwise, how could he hear his voice in the Gaoshan Mountains? But Xing Zixue had been listening to this voice for almost a year, so it was impossible to mistake it! So Xing Zixue responded with uncertainty on his face: "Tiger brother, it seems like Xiao Yao's voice."

  Suddenly, the guards, including Zheng Xiaohu, retreated in a hurry. A man with an excited look on his face rushed in from the outside, followed by more than a dozen men behind him.

  Qin Hao's face was filled with excitement as he looked at the newcomer, and he excitedly called out to Zheng Xiaohu and the others: "Xiao Ge, Squad Leader, Team Leader, it really is Xiao Ge!"

  "Xiaoyao..." Zheng Xiaohu and the others stood up one after another, each with an excited look on their faces as they stared at the calm Xiaoyao in front of them.

  Leng Xiao Yao's heart was also stirred at this moment, his eyes swept across the thirty Zheng Xiao Tigers in front of him, and his eyes began to redden. For Leng Xiao Yao, although he had only been with the Tiger Team for less than a year, he had gone through several life-and-death experiences with Zheng Xiao and others, which was considered a strong brotherly bond.

  "Xiao Yao, how is it?" Xiao Zixue was the most sober-minded person among them. After all, he had seen Fu Bo's skills and added to Fu Bo's initial address to Leng Xiao Yao, so Xiao Zixue could be sure that Leng Xiao Yao must have come from a wealthy family. How did he end up in this Ga Ya mountain range? Because Fu Bo's cultivation had long surpassed the Sword Saint, Xiao Zixue definitely didn't believe that Leng Xiao Yao was from the Ga Ya mountain range. After all, the highest level of cultivation in the Ga Ya mountain range was only at the Sword Saint level.

  "Young master, are these the brothers of the Ferocious Tiger Squad?" Huang Tao and others arrived at Leng Xiao's side at this moment and saluted.

  "Master?" Zheng Xiaohu and others were stunned by the "master" in Huang Tao's mouth, and they all looked at Leng Xiangyao with a face of unbelievable difficulty, as if they wanted to see something from Leng Xiangyao.

  Leng Xiao Yao nodded, then said to Zheng Xiao Hu and the others: "Tiger brother, Big Brother Xing, I know you have many doubts in your hearts, but this is not a place for us to reminisce about old times. Let's go inside first and slowly catch up later."

  "En." Zheng Xiaohu and others nodded.

  In the conference room of the Heavenly Army, Huang Tao only left behind ten team leaders and had all the other deputy officers beaten out. The Ferocious Tiger Team was left with only Zheng Xiaohu and Xing Zixue, while the rest were arranged to be treated for their injuries. After all, among the thirty people left in Zheng Xiaohu's team, there wasn't a single one who didn't have an injury on his body.

  After everyone sat down, Leng Xiao Yao's face showed a hint of guilt as he faced Zheng Xio Hu and Xing Zi Ye and said: "Xiao Hu Ge, Da Ge, first I want to apologize to you both. Actually, my surname is not Xiao but Leng, and my name is Xiao Yao. Please forgive me for hiding my true surname all this time."

  "Lang Xiao Yao" murmured Zheng Xiaohu, the next moment a smile appeared on his face: "Xiao Yao, I'm telling you, kid, why hide your surname? These three words 'Leng Xiao Yao' sound better than just 'Xiao Yao'."

  "That's right! The name Leng Xiao Yao is so good to hear! But it's just a surname, what's wrong with saying that?" Xing Ziyan said up to this point, when suddenly the surname Leng flashed through his mind. In the Tian Long Kingdom, there was only one prominent family with the surname Leng... Xing Ziyan thought of this and his smile disappeared, replaced by a look of shock. He stuttered and asked: "Xiao Yao, you wouldn't happen to be from the Tian Long Kingdom's Leng Family, a relative of General Leng Yuan, would you?"

  As soon as Xing Zixue finished speaking, Zheng Xiaohu's smile froze on his face, and he looked at Leng Xianyao with a shocked expression. Zheng Xiaohu naturally understood the meaning behind Xing Zixue's words. Who else in the Tianlong Kingdom could be considered a member of the Leng family besides Leng Xianning and Leng Old Marshal?

  Upon seeing the shocked expressions of Zheng Xiaohu and Xing Zixue, a hint of puzzlement appeared on his face: "Huh? Don't you two brothers know that Young Master is the grandson of General Leng Yuan? Is he not the next master of the Leng family?"

  "Really?" Zheng Xiaohu's face was filled with surprise, recalling how Han Xiang had entered the military camp and the subsequent series of battles. He wondered why General Shi Hu would be so concerned about Han Xiang's life and death, and then thought about why General Shi Hu had trusted Han Xiang so much. At this moment, Zheng Xiaohu suddenly understood all his previous doubts.

  "Xiaoyao, you've been suffering in silence!" Xiaozu said with a bitter smile.

  "After understanding the reasons, Zheng Xiaohu's face revealed a hint of a smile: 'No matter what surname Xiangyang has or whose descendant he is, we only need to remember that Xiangyang is our companion through life and death, why bother worrying about others' opinions?'"

  Huang Tao heard Zheng Xiaohu's words and a hint of praise appeared on his face: "This brother said it well."

  Zheng Xiaohu heard Huang Tao's words of praise, and scratched his head in embarrassment, looking at Leng Xiangyao with a awkward expression: "Xiangyao, who is this?"

  Zheng Xiaohu didn't dare to speak up because he felt a sense of superiority and intimidation from Huang Tao, which was even stronger than when he faced his own General Shi Hu. Zheng Xiaohu could naturally tell that Huang Tao was the leader among those unfamiliar people, as this kind of aura couldn't be faked.

  Leng Xiao Yao heard Zheng Xiao Hu's question and a smile appeared on his face as he said, "Tiger Brother, this is Huang Tao, Big Brother Huang."

  "Huang Tao?" Zheng Xiaohu and Xing Zixuan's faces froze simultaneously.

  Huang Tao saw the two petrified expressions and asked with a puzzled face: "What? Is there something wrong with my name?"

  "Are you Huang Tao? One of the four great generals of the Gaiya Mountain Range? Is this the Tianjun Army base?" Xing Zixue asked, but immediately shut his mouth after asking, and a respectful expression appeared on his face. After all, the four great armies of the Gaiya Mountain Range were too famous, and the names of the four great generals were known throughout the Maya continent. Xing Zixue had never thought that with his lowly status, he would actually be able to meet someone of such high standing. In other words, the generals of the four great armies of the Gaiya Mountain Range, no matter which one, were not inferior to the emperors of the four major countries.

  "I didn't think I was still so famous." Huang Tao's face revealed a smile, without any hint of arrogance, which shows that Huang Tao is the kind of person who is relatively humble.

  "Huang Qianbei, are you Huang Tao, the second general of the Tianlong Kingdom's Měng Hǔ Tuán?" Zheng Xiaohu asked with a stunned expression, because he had heard about this hundred-victory general countless times from his own commander.

  "Huh?" Huang Tao heard Zheng Xiaohu's question and looked surprised: "How did you know?"

  Zheng Xiaohu was even more shocked to hear Huang Tao admit that he was the second general of the Ferocious Tiger Gang, and asked: "Didn't outsiders say you died in battle at Tiger Valley? How is it you?"

  Huang Tao heard this and a faint smile appeared on his face, saying: "Are you wondering why I, as a general, fell into the Ga Mountain Range?"

  "En." Zheng Xiaohu nodded blankly.

  "It's better you don't know about this, haha. How did you find out I'm the second general of the Měng Hǔ Tuán? Was it that little sick cat Shí Hǔ who told you?" Huang Tao's face showed an expression of interest, and he was very interested in how Zheng Xiaohu knew his identity. After all, he had left the military for at least twenty years, while Zheng Xiaohu looked young, only in his thirties, and it was impossible for him to have served in the military for more than twenty years.

  "It wasn't General Shi who told me, it was our battalion commander Wang Shu who told me."

  "King Shu?" The ten battalion commanders sitting in attendance were all shocked.

  Zheng Xiaohu saw the surprised expressions of Feng Tianming and the others, and a look of doubt appeared on his face: "Are all of you acquainted with our Commander Wang Shutong?"

  "Haha!" Feng Tianming and others burst out laughing, Feng Tianming laughed more exaggeratedly, with a hint of mockery on his face: "Unexpectedly! That little wild cow back then actually mixed to the team leader level, poor us still stuck in this team leader position, haha!"

  "By the way, where's that little scamp? Why haven't I seen him?" Feng Tianming asked with a smile after he finished speaking, only then realizing that he hadn't seen Wang Shu all along.

  Zheng Xiaohu heard Feng Tianming's words and his face suddenly darkened, saying in a low voice: "The captain has already fallen."

  Originally smiling, Feng Tianming and others heard this sentence, each with a smile quickly solidified, the conference room suddenly became quiet, and the air was filled with a sense of oppression.

  "Cough, cough, cough" Coldly and calmly seeing the oppressive atmosphere in the conference room, he coughed a few times before saying: "Tiger brother, tell me about the current situation at Tiger Gate. What exactly happened? I only heard my grandfather mention it briefly, but I'm not very clear on the details. You explain."

  "Damn it, isn't that Wu Tian again? After you left, the Emperor issued an edict, stripping General Wen of his position and making Wu Tian act as the Royal Guard General. Later, during the attack on Hu Men, he actually wanted to send the poor people of Hu Men to be cannon fodder, charging at the front line! General Shi Hu naturally refused, so they argued with Wu Tian. The hundreds of brothers were also enraged, and when Wu Tian ordered us to be arrested for disobeying military orders, we resisted. I didn't expect him to actually give the order to kill us all! Seeing the situation was dire, I led the brothers to break out of the encirclement. Alas, those hundreds of brothers didn't die at the hands of the enemy, but at the hands of our own people... Haha!" Zheng Xiao Hu said, bursting into maniacal laughter, his voice tinged with sorrow, moving listeners to tears.

  Zheng Xiaohu finished speaking, and Xing Zi also clenched his fists tightly, gritting his teeth: "Kai Fu, Lie Huo, and Hua Lian are also in the rear, detonating explosives to buy us time to break through."

  "What?" Cold Xiao Yao heard this sentence, stood up straight, with a face full of anger and killing intent, the air was filled with thick killing aura.

  Huang Tao and others felt the thick killing intent emanating from Leng Xiao's body, each of their faces filled with surprise. As veterans in the military, they naturally understood that this killing intent was something that needed to be accumulated over time. In their impression, Leng Xiao was just a shy and polite young man, how could he possibly possess such intense killing intent? Compared to these old soldiers, it wasn't any weaker by even a single thread, it was strange.

  "We were originally going to break out of the encirclement and settle in the Ga Mountain Range, then develop our own power. One day when we have enough strength, I will avenge my brothers. Now that we've met you, Xiao Yao, you can lead us!"

  Xiao Hu's face had just fallen, and Xue Ze immediately picked up the conversation: "Xiao Yao, we don't ask for anything else, only that one day we can take revenge on our enemies with our own hands, for the sake of our deceased brothers."

  Leng Xiao Yao heard Zheng Xiao Hu and Xing Zi Xue's conversation, a hint of a meaningful smile appeared on his face as he said: "Are you certain? Would you even dare to make a move against the Tian Long team?"

  "Xiaoyao, you don't need to use such words to provoke me. Since the country doesn't need us anymore, why should we sacrifice ourselves for it? Speak up! If Xiaoyao says one word, if Zheng Xiaotiger frowns even slightly, I'm not human."

  "Alright, Xiaoyao, you speak! What do you want to do? With just one word from you, I'll take action. Although my cultivation is lowly, I'm also a man of my word. If this brother's grudge can't be avenged, how will I have the face to see those brothers of mine after I die?" Xingziyu spoke with a resolute tone, but as soon as he finished speaking, a look of doubt appeared on his face: "Xiaoyao, if we're going against the Upper Heaven Dragon Country... then what about your grandfather?"

  Huang Tao heard the self-taught sentence of doubt, and a cold smile appeared on his face: "If Tianlong Guo's true container is the lower marshal, why did the young master come here? Why was Wen Kai demoted? Why did the fierce tiger team disappear?"

  Zheng Xiaohu heard Huang Tao's words and his face showed a shocked expression: "General Huang, what do you mean?"

  "What do you think?" Huang Tao's face revealed a hint of cold smile.

  "Report!!!" Suddenly, a urgent report came from outside the conference room.

Sorry again, thank you to (another type of male) for the reward, finally still asking for recommendation votes, hope those with votes won't hold back, support me, coffee is grateful.
