Above the stars

Every breath of air carries the choking smell of sulfur, as if the entire world has become an over-exploited mineral factory.

There is no fragrance of flowers and no chirping of birds or insects.

However, from time to time, the looming roar of monsters could be heard in the ears, and for a while it was difficult to tell whether it was reality or a dream.

What a familiar smell!

Is this a dream?

Everything I just experienced was also a dream?

Tang Bandit opened his eyes and met a pair of blood-red eyes.

"Brother, are you awake?" Xiaopang grinned, but his eyes became moist as he smiled.

"Why are you crying? Am I not alive and well?"

Tang Bandit pretended to be angry and cursed.

He stretched out his hand to wipe away Xiaopang's tears, but thought that the tears were too salty and the fat face was too dirty, so he retracted his hand.

As Xiaopang grows up, it is not polite to wipe his hands with other people's clothes.

"Brother, I'm not crying, I just want to cry."

Xiaopang wiped away his tears with the back of his hand, looked at Tang Bandit with admiration and said, "Brother, just hope you're okay. I'm just too scared."

"What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid you'll die if you die. If you die"

Xiaopang couldn't talk any more.

He didn't know what he would do if Tang Bandit really died, but he knew that he would definitely feel more uncomfortable than if he died.

In the past, I was alive because I was surrounded by my family.

With his family gone, what is the meaning of his life?

"Okay, okay, I'm fine."

Tang Bandit wanted to get up, but as soon as he lifted half of his body, he felt a tearing pain in his chest.

Although Uncle Biao's ax didn't split his chest, it severely damaged his internal organs.

The Fierce God Cloak can only protect him from fatal injuries, but cannot withstand the collision of yin and yang energy.

Bones cracked.

When he wanted to escape after killing Uncle Biao, he was chased and intercepted by the Shen Family Army troops who came to pick up Uncle Biao.

The Tang bandits fought with them for a long time.

At the critical moment, Bai Wuxin appeared, and he was brought out of the Beast Garden.

He didn't know what happened next.

"hiss"

Seeing the pain on Tang Bandit's face, Xiaopang quickly stepped forward to support his shoulders and said loudly: "Brother, don't move. The doctor has come to see you and said that you are seriously injured, with more than 20 large and small wounds all over your body. The bones in the chest are cracked and I need to rest for a while."

Tang Bandit lay back down again, looked at the surrounding environment, looked at Xiaopang and asked: "Where is this?"

"Old soil." Xiaopang looked at Tang Bandit and said loudly: "Brother, we are back again."

They have lived on this abandoned planet for more than ten years, and they have actually become accustomed to it.

And because of a woman, he left for several years by chance.

A few years later, I returned to my hometown.

It seems that I have experienced a lot of things, but it seems like nothing has happened.

Xiaopang didn't know whether coming back was a good thing or a bad thing, and he didn't care.

What he cares about is that he and his eldest brother are still together.

"I know it's the old land." Tang Bandit said aloud.

This stone house has solid wood beams and a bark roof

These materials are not used on Nova.

"What I'm asking is, where is this old land?"

"Hate the mountain." Xiaopang said.

"Oh." Tang Bandit responded softly.

They are back, back to their old land.

Back to Hate Mountain.

He is familiar with every plant and tree here, but is the Henshan Mountain now the same Henshan Mountain it was back then?

In other words, are they still the same people they were then?

Returning to the old land is one of the follow-up plans that the old man made long ago.

If Shen Wuxiang cares about the public opinion of the empire, cares about Shen's reputation, and wants to stay in power stably, he will accept their negotiation terms.

At least, they are willing to "put peace as the most important thing" and sign an intention to cooperate amidst the mutual pull and constraints to create a temporary stable situation.

This is also the situation that the Tang bandits are most happy to see.

Because in this case, they will have the time and space to develop obscenely.

Although during this period, Shen will definitely think of ways to weaken their power.

Likewise, they will do the same thing.

The worst thing is that Shen Wuxiang is indifferent and refuses to give up, neither to destroy nor to establish. He plays the same trick as his elder Cao, "I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me."

What public opinion?

What reputation?

What regime is stable?

Kill all the enemies first, and then solve other problems.

If the problem cannot be solved, solve the problem.

In that case, it would be extremely dangerous for the old man who went to the Garden of Beasts to negotiate alone, the Phoenix Palace where the Tang bandits and others were trapped, or the Luban Mountain where the Lu family had been running for many years.

If you cannot win a local war, then wipe that part off the map.

As the imperial military minister, Shen Wuxiang is in charge of more than one-third of the empire's troops. He has the ability and the courage to do such a thing.

The heads of people killed during the Tang Dynasty were rolling, blood flowed into rivers, and the groundwater in Phoenix City turned red.

What can't such a ruthless person do?

Don’t think that as a tiger gets older, it loses its ferocity.

They just know how to be patient and need to weigh things more.

The thickness of the Phoenix Palace's walls is inversely proportional to the thickness of Shen Wuxiang's face. If Shen Wuxiang is thin-skinned, the walls of the Phoenix Palace are thicker.

If Shen Wuxiang was shameless, the Phoenix Palace wall, which had been besieged for many days, would become a thin piece of paper.

Therefore, we must evacuate at that time.

After Tang Bandi responded, he looked up at the sky, not knowing what he was thinking, and remained silent for a long time.

At this moment, the wooden door of the room was pushed open from the outside.

Yan Jingnian, who was wearing a black knight uniform, walked in, followed by two middle-aged men. She looked at Tang Bandit expressionlessly, as if the man lying on the bed had nothing to do with her.

"They are the doctors who stayed at the Phoenix Palace. When they left, they brought them here with them." Yan Jingnian spoke without any emotion, as if he brought out two cats and dogs: "Let them check your body."

Tang Bandit understood her character and didn't care about it.

He looked at the two doctors and said gratefully, "Sorry for the trouble."

"It should be."

The two doctors looked frightened.

They didn't know Tang Bandit's true identity, but after seeing him being seriously injured and unconscious, everyone looked like they were facing a powerful enemy. They thought it was extremely valuable.

What's more, they were "brought" to the old land by Yan Jingnian. Here, they were told that the sky was not responding and the earth was not working. It was probably of no use to call the police. They could just do whatever they asked.

They couldn't figure it out. He was obviously a doctor on duty in the Phoenix Palace, specializing in serving the emperor and the emperor's relatives. According to ancient times, he was called an 'imperial doctor'.

This is also an extremely respected profession in the entire Phoenix Empire. Which of the relatives and friends around you wouldn’t envy it?

How did we get here in the blink of an eye? I don’t know if there will be a chance to return to Xinxing and my wife and children on Xinxing.

I'm about to cry out my tears.

They used the instruments they carried with them to operate on Tang Bandit and recorded various pathological data. Then the tall doctor said: "Mr. Tang, your body's various indicators are recovering, and the recovery speed is very fast. , which can be seen from the data.”

"But it will take some time for you to fully recover because your injury was so serious. The worst part is that the bone fracture in the chest is very serious. The conditions here are difficult and there are no particularly good surgical measures."

"So, we can only give you some necessary anti-inflammatory and healing drugs, which mainly depends on your personal physical fitness."

"We do not recommend that you get out of bed within a short period of 100 days after breaking your muscles and bones. We do not recommend that you do any strenuous exercise."

"I understand." Tang Bandit nodded and said loudly, "I will pay attention."

"You must insist on taking the medicine on the table and follow the original dosage."

After a few more words of exhortation, the two of them said goodbye and left.

After the doctor went out, Tang Bandi looked at Yan Jingnian standing in front of the bed and asked, "Have everyone been transferred out?"

Tang Bandit was worried about the old man's safety. When he went out to meet the old man, he entrusted Yan Jingnian with the important task of transferring all employees.

After all, the thousands of black cavalry troops she led were the largest and most powerful in the Phoenix Palace.

"Yes." Yan Jingnian nodded.

After a pause, he said again: "Dean Shang is staying."

Tang Bandit sat up immediately with a 'huh' sound. He endured the pain in his chest and asked with a surprised look on his face: "Why did he stay?"

Shang Xiulin was very kind to him and Xiaopang. He was Xiaopang's mentor and their family member.

This old man with a strong sense of justice was unwilling to enter the court and work for the Phoenix royal family because he was dissatisfied with the purge of his students. He only wanted to avoid teaching and educating people on campus.

Now that everyone is at odds with each other, is there any way for him to survive if he stays behind at Xinxing?

"He refused to get on the boat, saying you have your mission and he has his mission."

"What mission does he have? What mission is more important than staying alive?" Tang Bandit was a little angry: "Why didn't you just knock him out and bring him back?"

Yan Jingnian glanced at Xiaopang and said nothing.

Little Fatty's face was red, he was brought back after being knocked unconscious by Bandit Tang.

At that time, he was clamoring to bring back his godfather, but Tang Bandit captured him in anger.

The fat guy holding the skull hammer can indeed enter the crazy state, but what if he doesn't enter?

Moreover, he does not know how to practice, has no yin and yang energy, and his body skills are even worse.

It's okay to beat reckless people.

In terms of skill in movement, determination in facing the enemy, and cunningness in escaping, the Tang bandits have to do it themselves.

"Where is your family? Have you brought them back?"

"Mrs. Shang insisted on accompanying Dean Shang, and everyone else was brought back."

Tang Bandit sighed deeply and said, "We must settle the parents of Dean Shang."

"I am not responsible for this matter."

"."

Yan Jingnian left.

He Xiaohua came in.

He Xiaohua is the person in charge of Henshan Base.

At that time, the Sunshine Welfare Institute was exposed, and He Xiaohua and more than 7,000 Tang syndrome "thieves" were arrested.

Bai Wuxin broke into Jiuzhongzi with force, kidnapped the imperial princess Zhong Yuxiuxue, and exchanged the princess's life for the more than 7,000 hostages.

Later, these more than 7,000 people were sent to the old land by Star Disk, and a defense base was established based on Hen Mountain.

The materials for building the base were all sent by Lu's garbage ship. The old man was taking precautions at that time to prepare for their next step.

"Are you awake?" He Xiaohua looked at Tang Bandit and asked.

She is Tang Li's closest confidant and close friend.

Strictly speaking, Tang Bandit can be regarded as her nephew, and she has been silently observing this young man.

She is not afraid of death, after all she has died once.

She was just curious, curious about how far this young man could go.

"Yeah." Tang Fei looked at He Xiaohua and said, "Aunt He."

"Don't let my aunt." He Xiaohua refused directly and said, "This is a military camp, a base. There is no personal relationship, only position."

"Then I."

"You can call me General He."

"Yes, General He." Tang Fei followed suit.

"I have settled the people you brought. When the base was built, it was planned and designed according to the scale of a legion."

"The only thing that is in short supply now is food. We could still find ways to be self-sufficient before, but now that there are more people, we can't do more."

"What's more, the supplies are scarce in the old land, and the mutant beasts in the hate mountain area have been cleared by us. If we want to expand to other places, we have to enter the territory of other predators and the flame shrine."

"In that case, conflicts are bound to occur. We are new here and have not yet established a firm foothold. Now is not the time to have a large-scale conflict with local forces."

"Besides, our real threat is the new star, not the natives on the old land."

"According to Lu Yu's idea, these people may be our main force to fight back against the new star."

He Xiaohua dutifully reported to Tang Fei the many situations and problems faced by the hate mountain base.

"General He is right. We have just arrived in the old land and have not yet established a firm foothold. We should try not to have conflicts with other forces if possible."

"Now is a critical moment. We must always be wary of the reaction of the new star. If we are attacked from both inside and outside and fight on multiple fronts, it will be too disadvantageous."

"I will solve the problem of food. How long can the current food reserves last?"

"Half a month."

"Well, within half a month, I will find new food." Tang Fei said calmly.

He has never been a leader and does not know how to be a leader.

But he knows that at this time, he must give confidence to those around him.

And the ability to solve problems.

He Xiaohua looked at Tang Fei thoughtfully. She didn't know how Tang Fei would solve the food problem, but seeing his confident look, he should have calculated it in his heart.

For a moment, he seemed to see Tang Li, who was commanding.

A tiger father will have a dog son?

He Xiaohua nodded and said, "That's good. I'll go out to get busy."

After that, he turned and left.

The room was quiet again.

Xiaopang swallowed his saliva and asked cautiously: "Brother, what did you say about the negotiation between godfather and others? What was the result?"

Tang Fei's thoughts were interrupted, and he looked at Xiaopang and said: "The negotiation failed, so we fled here."

"What about godfather?" Xiaopang tried to be as casual as possible, just like usual, asking some trivial questions that might make people laugh.

But, for some reason, his voice was still trembling.

Even his body was shaking slightly, as if he was afraid of hearing some bad news.

Or, he was already worried in his heart

With his own speculation.

"Why didn't godfather come back?"
