Blue, Red and White Dark Abyss Cauldron

Chapter 596 Chu Xiaomu finally heard about Bai Yixing

Chu Xiaomu also put down his bowl and chopsticks and asked, "Me?" He thought to himself, this is the first time we have met, what can you want from me?

Lu Linnan Ge said: "If your name is really Chu Xiaomu, then I am looking for you."

"I am Chu Xiaomu, you are not mistaken."

"Then do you know someone named Yu Aqi?"

"Are you talking about Aqi? Isn't he in Dongzhong Army? We are good friends." A look of surprise appeared on Chu Xiaomu's face. When Yu Aqi was mentioned, his eyes lit up instantly, as if he remembered every little detail of his time with his good friend.

"Where did you meet?"

"Jinyang City Jiaoshan."

"Then you are right." Lu Linnange took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Chu Xiaomu, saying, "He wrote it to you."

Chu Xiaomu was very curious. He and Yu Aqi had not exchanged letters since they parted in Bicheng the year before last. He first heard about him from Gao Tinggeng, the captain of the Dongzhong Army, who was buying sheep in Dongxi Village when he was grazing in Gusongling. It was unexpected that Yu Aqi would write to him.

He reached out to take it and asked, "What did Aqi say in the letter?"

Lu Linnan Ge frowned and said, "He wrote the letter to you, how would I know what was written in it? Do you think I peeked at it? Who do you think I am, Lu Linnan Ge?!"

Chu Xiaomu realized that he had said something wrong and apologized quickly.

Lu Lin Nan Ge said: "There's no need to apologize. Since you are also the commander of the Green City Army, you should discuss with Commander Li about the Seven Cities Conference tomorrow. The Red Army broke through Humu Pass and now they broke through Green City. This is not a fun thing!" She raised her voice a few notches, with a hint of anger in her tone, as if she had been greatly insulted.

After hearing this, everyone at the table, except Xiaoying, blushed and couldn't raise their heads.

Lu Linnan Ge stood up and said, "I have finished talking about both things. I will take my leave now." He bowed to Li Qi and Chu Xiaomu, turned around and walked out.

The people at Bicheng's table were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

After returning to the guest room, Chu Xiaomu couldn't wait to open the letter written by Aqi and read it.

Jinglan saw that his expression was becoming more and more solemn and ugly, so she asked, "Brother Xiaomu, what did your friend Aqi say in the letter?"

Xiaoying also came over to take a look.

Chu Xiaomu's breathing became heavy, and his voice began to tremble slightly. He said, "Aqi said... Aqi said... he found... found the person who killed my grandfather..." His face was full of shock and anger. He held the letter tightly in both hands, and his knuckles turned white from the force.

After hearing this, the two girls also became a little nervous. Jinglan took the letter and read it. As expected, the letter said: "More than ten days ago, I was stationed and patrolling near Yutuo City. I saw several men from the Snow Country wandering around the city. The leader called himself 'Bai Yixing'..." She had heard Chu Xiaomu say that the one who killed his grandfather was a man from the Snow Country, named Bai Yixing.

Chu Xiaomu's mind was immediately filled with miserable scenes from Baihua Island, in which Huai Xiaomeng's parents were twisted in pain holding their stomachs because they drank poisonous well water. Their faces were in agony, and beads of sweat rolled down their foreheads. Old Uncle Huai, the clan leader, and others were spitting out blood, the blood dyed their clothes red, and their eyes were full of despair and unwillingness. Grandpa's cold body lay on the hard ground, his face pale, without a trace of blood. More people knelt beside the corpses and cried sadly, and the cries echoed in the empty ancestral temple, as if telling of endless sorrow...

He was so excited that he paced back and forth in the small room. His hands trembled uncontrollably and he seemed oblivious to everything around him.

As he walked, he murmured, "Good...good...I finally found you...I finally found you!"

I don’t know how long I walked when I suddenly heard a faint voice calling “Brother Xiaomu, Brother Xiaomu…” Chu Xiaomu finally came to his senses. He turned around and saw that it was Jinglan calling him, while Xiaoying looked anxious and at a loss.

He looked at Jinglan, then at Xiaoying, not knowing what to say.

Xiaoying came over, held his hand, and said in a crying voice: "Brother Xiaomu, are you...are you okay..."

Chu Xiaomu forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Xiaoying said: "But you...but you looked so scary just now."

Chu Xiaomu knew that he was too excited just now and might have lost his composure. He didn't expect that he would scare Xiaoying. It seemed that his hatred for Bai Yixing was so deep that he couldn't control it.

“Is… is that so?”

Xiaoying nodded and said, "I won't let you do this again. I... I'm scared..."

Chu Xiaomu was moved when he saw her true feelings.

Jinglan asked softly, "Brother Xiaomu, what are you going to do next?"

Chu Xiaomu took two long breaths and said, "Those people from the Snow Country actually dared to appear openly in the territory of our Cangmu Country. They are so audacious. I have endured this hatred for four or five years. I will never let them go, not even one of them!"

Jinglan said, "Aqi said in the letter that he met Bai Yixing 'more than ten days ago.' But he wrote the letter half a month ago. So, he met Bai Yixing at least twenty-five or twenty-six days ago."

Chu Xiaomu said blankly: "Really? I didn't calculate it carefully."

Jinglan sighed and said, "Brother Xiaomu, when you encounter such a big thing, you forget what you should do."

Chu Xiaomu smiled bitterly and said, “What else can I do? I went to Xihai City, Jinyang City, and Bicheng… just to kill Bai Yixing!”

Jinglan said: "Of course you have to take revenge, and I will definitely not stop you."

"So what did you mean by that just now?!"

"Brother Xiaomu, don't forget that you are still the central army of Bicheng. The Seven Cities Conference is about to begin. On the surface, this conference was convened by Jin Li'er, but it was actually your idea. Lu Lin Nan Ge has made it very clear that their Yutuo City will never form an alliance with Xihai City. Baijun City and our Bicheng have a dispute over Juhou Pass. It is said that there are also many conflicts between Anfeng City and Yancheng... In my opinion, even if Jin Li'er mediates, it is still harder than climbing to the sky for the seven cities to form an alliance."

This sentence was like a bucket of cold water, which immediately made Chu Xiaomu sober up. Yes, no matter how great the hatred or resentment was, could it be compared to the disaster of destroying a city and a country?

"Then what do you think I should do?" Chu Xiaomu asked.

Jinglan said: "If Jin Lier can't make the Seven Cities form an alliance, perhaps you can announce it to the world as the Lord of Chenghuang... But this is also a last resort."
