Meanwhile, the Meng Residence was currently having their ‘dogs jump and chickens fly’…
When compared with the Li Family, the Meng Family had it far worse. Their homes had been ‘searched’ to the point of being demolished. And yet, Jun Zhantian felt only depression within him. Because this was not what he had intended to do, nor was this the results he had intended to achieve.
After this incident, the capital will turn calm for a long period of time. At least, that was how it would appear externally.
Since His Majesty had said that Moxie is still alive, then this senior will become a ‘spear’ for His Majesty. Doing so is quite worthwhile, although the ending is somewhat anticlimactic. This senior’s original intention was to kill off all these people. Although a large number of them had been finished off, the most important ones could not be killed…
At this moment, a hasty sound suddenly rang out. “Jun Zhantian, you… you ignorant old man! Stop it!”
Jun Zhantian’s body suddenly shook, as though he could not believe what his ears was hearing. Slowly, he turned around, his eyes staring straight, his face revealed a mad look of joy.
A thin, withered looking old man appeared, his arms carrying someone to his chest. The old man shot out and appeared before Jun Zhantian, panting and sweating profusely. However, Jun Zhantian paid him no attention. He quickly dismounted off his horse and rushed towards the thin old man. Jun Zhantian retrieved the person being held close to the thin old man’s chest and spoke in a trembling voice. “Moxie?”
Coincidentally, these two people returned just as everything was about to be wrapped up…
Jun Zhantian’s expression of surprise clearly showed that he had just escaped from the clutches of absolute despair. He held onto Jun Xie as though he was holding onto the world’s most precious treasure! The deep wrinkles of his face harboured the intense amount of concern he was feeling. This is the ecstatic feeling of finding something that one had thought to be lost forever. His fingers trembled in concert with his body while his eyes had turned red from excitement! Watching all this, Jun Xie felt his heart shaking…
This is a commander of a millions soldiers, a resilient iron blooded man who had returned victorious after hundreds of battles! But, seeing his own grandson alive at this moment made him surprised, his bearing suddenly transformed into that of a frail and ailing elderly person.
This is an emotion born deep within a person’s flesh and blood…
At this moment, Jun Xie felt something well up from the bottom of his heart. It was a feeling, an aching feeling that gave him a sense of warmth and comfort. In addition, he felt his nose turning sour… Jun Xie suddenly felt that it had become hard to breath, his nose had seemingly stopped working, a feeling which made him feel a desire to cry out.
Is this the affection that he had once desired in his dreams?
In both past and present, is there any who had shown so much care for him?
In both past and present, is there any who would mobilize the armies of an entire country for his sake?
In both past and present, who could throw away all their concerns for his sake?
Who would have fallen into absolute despair for his sake? Who could become so happy to the point of insanity for his sake? Who could disregard their own reputation, lives and family…. for his sake?
Watching the old man before him, Jun Xie had no doubt that for his sake, this old man would even pierce a hole through the skies! Because… he is his only hope! The only thing he could hold onto!
