Supreme Excalibur

Chapter 227 Born in troubled times, the emperor's honor
"Born in troubled times, the king's honor!" Looking in the direction of Water Dragon City, Dongfang Aocang couldn't help but recall the prophecy of a magical old fortune-teller he met back then.

At that time, Dongfang Aocang had just grown up, in his teens, he was a naughty, active and frivolous boy.At that time, he was just an ordinary person with years of "earning a little money, marrying a wife and having children".However, after meeting the old man, Dongfang Aocang's life has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The old man left his hometown with Dongfang Aocang, traveled around, and taught him magical sword skills and exercises.

In fact, until the moment the old man left, Dongfang Aocang didn't understand what the old man said.Because, at that time, the entire Eastern Azure Dragon Continent, and even the entire sword world, was peaceful. Although wars existed, they were small fights, not a chaotic world.

But at this moment, Dongfang Aocang understood and believed the old man's prophecy.Do princes and generals care about each other?He, Dongfang Aocang can also become the emperor.

Right now, this world has begun to be chaotic, but Dongfang Aocang understands that the current world is not chaotic enough, and he still needs to add fire to it.Therefore, he chose to kill Overlord Li. Regarding the assassination of Emperor Shuilong, it couldn't just end so simply. This is an excellent opportunity for Dongfang Aocang to step on the throne of God and King, and it should not be missed.

Outside the barracks, Duan Mu, who was behind the group of water dragons and Anbu elites, was puzzled at this moment!
When that team of Anbu elites saw the signal in the sky, they stopped returning and got into a dispute.

"retreat!"

"traitor!"

"escape!"

"Send the message at all costs!"

……

The many signals that Shuiyuean released before being taken down did not represent one meaning, but many meanings.The combination of these many meanings immediately confused the Anbu elites who saw the signal.

"Captain, what should we do? So many signals, what do they mean?"

"No matter what it means, it's not a good thing anyway, I think, we should withdraw!"

The captain of the Royal Anbu squad who led the team made a wise choice, even though he encountered opposition from many people, and some even suggested returning to the barracks to check it out.Unfortunately, under the authority and explanation of the squad leader, everyone in the team chose to shut up.

"Among the Anbu, besides Master Zuo Ling, who can have so many communication signals?"

Just a rhetorical question made everyone shut up.

Although the Anbu of the Water Dragon Royal Family is huge, they don't carry many signaling signals, and their signaling signals are provided by Shuiyue Anbu.Therefore, what the team leader said was not wrong at all, no one except Shui Yue An could send out so many signals at once.

The 13-member team left quietly, returned to Shuilong City, and reported the situation to Emperor Shuiyuedu.

Watching the departure of the Anbu team of the Royal Family of Water Dragon, Duan Mu jumped out from his hiding place, looked at the barracks in front of him, and frowned: "What happened? Could it be that Dongfang Aocang will fight for Bawang Li and Emperor Water Dragon?" Right?" When they came to the Water Dragon Empire, Duan Mu and Li Bawang stayed in Dongfang Aocang's mansion for a while.

Thinking of this possibility, Duan Mu felt elated.At the moment, he cautiously moved towards the barracks. He still needs to be extremely careful before confirming it.

Maybe the sky has eyes, maybe it's a secret arrangement.

When Duan Mu was approaching the barracks, he saw a group of soldiers carrying a dead body out of the barracks gate, walking towards a hill not far from the barracks.

Seeing this scene, Duan Mu naturally quietly followed.The many previous signals made the Anbu elites of the Water Dragon Royal Family choose to retreat, so is this corpse related to the retreat of those people?This point aroused Duan Mu's curiosity. If he didn't find out clearly, his heart would itch.

"Brother, what do you think this woman is from?"

"Who knows, but she's already dead, no matter what her background is! Remember, don't ask what shouldn't be asked, don't tell what shouldn't be said, you all know our general's temper!"

"I know, I know, I'm just curious, how can this woman be so powerful?"

"Who knows!"

This group of soldiers muttered softly, but it clearly fell into Duan Mu's ears.The corpse belonged to a woman, and looking at the attire of the corpse, Duan Mu's heart began to sink, he had vaguely guessed who the corpse was.It's just that he couldn't believe it, and he didn't want to believe it, then it couldn't be Honggu.

The soldiers quickly dug a hole, buried the corpse, planted two trees on it, and moved some green grass, so that the place where the corpse was buried was not much different from the surrounding environment. Drink four days and return to the barracks.

Duan Mu didn't come out of his hiding place immediately, but waited slowly for a whole day. At the dawn of the next day, Duan Mu quietly stepped forward and dug up the hole after making sure no one was secretly watching. A mud pit for burying dead bodies.

When the face of the corpse in the mud pit came into Duan Mu's eyes in the dawn light, Duan Mu's tears flowed out directly.The corpse in front of him was indeed Hong Gu, the one who treated him like a son after coming to the Water Dragon Empire.

At this moment, Duan Mu really wanted to cry, but he could only cry silently.

Duan Mu quickly inspected Hong Gu's body, he was hit by three swords, one of which was severed.Now Honggu, her head and body are sewn together with rope.

"Auntie, don't worry, I will definitely avenge you!"

Facing Hong Gu's body, Duan Mu respectfully kowtowed three times.Afterwards, after buying the mud pit, he carried Honggu's body away from here, found a fairly open and sunny hillside, and buried Honggu again.

Without the tombstone, Duan Mu kowtowed three times again.Then, resolutely sneaked in the direction of the barracks.How Honggu died and who killed her, he had to find out.Also, whether Li Bawang is safe now, he must also find out.

Without the presence of Anbu, the royal family of the Water Dragon Empire, the security of the barracks has also been relaxed a lot.Duan Mu easily sneaked into the barracks and transformed into an ordinary frontier sergeant of the Water Dragon Empire.

After entering the barracks, Duan Mu suddenly found that the barracks were not as loose as he observed from the outside.Or it can be described in a professional word, the frontier camp controlled by Dongfang Aocang is a typical example of being loose on the outside and tight on the inside.

"Since you're here, don't hide!"

Dongfang Aocang miraculously appeared in front of Duan Mu, and the moment Dongfang Aocang appeared, Duan Mu suddenly found himself surrounded.Moreover, those who surrounded him were all very powerful swordsmen, not sword masters, but sword gods.The current Duan Mu still doesn't have the ability to see through the level of a high-level person at a glance.

"Meet the Eastern General!"

Duan Mu took the initiative to salute Dongfang Aocang, but in his heart he was thinking about how to escape.From Dongfang Aocang's tone of voice, no matter how stupid Duan Mu was, he could tell that Dongfang Aocang's visitor was not kind.

"Xiao Duanmu, if you have any questions, just ask!"

After Duan Mu was brought into Dongfang Aocang's handsome tent, Dongfang Aocang drove away and lived alone with Duan Mu.

"General Dongfang, are you really willing to say anything?"

"Of course!" Dongfang Aocang nodded solemnly, "Frankly speaking, I still value you very much. Duanmu, how are you doing? Are you interested in following me?"

"General Dongfang, it is Duan Mu's honor to be valued by you. However, Duan Mu is the young master's follower. Without the young master's permission, he can only be ashamed of the general's kindness. Moreover, right now, Duan Mu is still a wanted man of the Water Dragon Empire." , and I don’t want to implicate the general!”

"Well, everything is up to you. Now, just ask any questions. After today, I won't give you any answers!"

"Is Overlord okay?"

"He's dead!" Dongfang Aocang really didn't hide anything, and told the story of beheading Li Bawang with his own hands.

Duan Mu was stunned at the time, Li Bawang died, and was killed by Dongfang Aocang himself, why?how could this be?Since Li Bawang died at the hands of Dongfang Aocang, what about Honggu?

"Aunt Hong was killed by me. If you want revenge, you can come to me!"

For Dongfang Aocang's frankness, Duan Mu suddenly didn't know how to face it.A moment ago, he swore in front of Honggu's body that he would avenge her.But at this moment, Duan Mu forgot his oath, he didn't even know how to face Dongfang Aocang.Strictly speaking, Dongfang Aocang was really good to him, and he didn't despise him just because he was just a follower of the Duan family, on the contrary, he valued him quite a lot, and taught him a lot.

To Duan Mu, Dongfang Aocang is both a teacher and a friend.

"Why? Why did you do this? Overlord is the only son of City Lord Li Xuan. Aren't you two life-and-death friends? Why? Why did you do this?"

"Once upon a time, I met an old man who told me that my destiny was to be born in troubled times and to be the emperor. Before, I thought he was just teasing me. But, to this day, I know that everything is not. False. This world will indeed soon turn into a chaotic world, and as long as I seize the opportunity, it's not difficult, my lord!"

"Even so, why did you kill Bawang and Honggu? They can't stop you!"

"They can't stop me, but if they want to help me, they have to pay the price of their lives. The world is indeed chaotic, but it's not chaotic enough. I need him to make it even more chaotic."

"For your own selfishness, you actually killed them, so what if you become the emperor?"

"Control the life and death of all people, and from now on, I am the only one in the world!"

Seeing the glint in Dongfang Aocang's eyes, Duan Mu suddenly laughed: "You told me this, aren't you afraid that I will tell others? Or, you didn't intend to let me go at all?"
