On how to avoid being cannon fodder

"The six families join forces, how can we protect Jiuyun Kingdom? According to this seat, it is better for us to abandon the peripheral lands and gather in the capital to stand up."

"No! Many of our disciples' families are still alive..."

"When the decision is made, the decision is made, and the matter is urgent..."

"It's better to strike first..."

"No! Our Nine Clouds Kingdom is already very eye-catching, and if we take the initiative to attack now, I'm afraid it will attract other top forces from the Xia Hong Continent to encircle and suppress us..."

Han Yanghao propped his chin, boredly watching a group of old men slapping the table and arguing, then he went to chat with Ji Wenyuan who was wearing black armor next to him via sound transmission: "How long do you think they will waste their time?"

Ji Wenyuan raised his head slightly, a pair of dark golden eyes were exposed from under the visor: "That depends on how long you want to play."

This is already the third day they have come to Tiangangmen, and the six families of the Blood Refining Sect seem to have completely withdrawn from the Jiuyun Kingdom in the past five days and have not heard a word.But no one would think that they had given up on attacking Jiuyun Country, the only possibility was that they were preparing to launch a full-scale attack.

The eight top powers in the Nine Clouds Kingdom sent representatives to Tiangangmen to discuss the countermeasures, but they didn't know what to do in the face of such a disparity in power.Han Yanghao was not among the representatives of this discussion, but as a master of the Yuanshen with the title of guest minister in Tiangangmen, if he wanted to participate, no one would disgrace him.

"You do have confidence in me." Han Yanghao teased, "How do you know I have a solution? Maybe I just came to admire their distressed expressions."

Ji Wenyuan watched him silently without speaking.

Just as they said these two sentences, a group of monks over there were already arguing more and more intensely.There is only one argument among the crowd that is increasing: "Since they are here for our technology, it is better to abandon the technology products and not to fight against them."

Han Yanghao couldn't help but sneer when he heard these people's flinching arguments.He didn't deliberately lower his voice when he said this. All the people present were big monks with very high cultivation, and a small half of them all looked over at once.

It was the Tiangangmen Elder who was always paying attention to his own family's Keqing who was the first to ask: "Elder Yangyuan, what do you think?"

Ji Wenyuan saw Han Yanghao tilt his head, the candlelight shone on his face, the warm yellow light made the skin exposed behind his ears look extra delicate and soft.Because he was sitting behind him, Ji Wenyuan couldn't see his expression, but he could see that the expressions of the monks looking over were not very good.

Soon Han Yanghao's mocking and gentle voice sounded: "The person who said he would give up his technological ability really opened my eyes."

An old man with a white beard who was the first to support that point of view stood up and glared at Han Yanghao: "You..."

"I'm not right?" Han Yanghao interrupted him, and said in a slow tone: "Do you still remember how Jiuyun Kingdom became the most powerful country in Xiahong Continent?"

The old man's eyes were wide open, panting heavily and unable to speak.

Yes, the former Nine Clouds Kingdom was just a small place that was struggling to survive in the cracks and was facing the crisis of destruction at any time.It was after the rise of Tiangangmen that a large number of monks who were impressed by this magical "technology" came and settled down in the birthplace of this technology, which established the momentum of the rise of Jiuyun Kingdom.

It can be said that without the Tiangang Sect, Yang Yi, the enlightened Taoist, and "technology", there would be no Jiuyun Kingdom today.

Seeing that the old man regained his breath and wanted to speak again, Han Yanghao rushed to speak in front of him again: "Of course, if you want to abandon Jiuyun Kingdom, abandon all things related to technology and flee far away, then I ask you to think about it—— Are you still going to get off this giant ship?"

Cultivators have a country, and mortals also have a country. In the final analysis, this is nothing more than holding together and supporting each other.As Han Yanghao said, once you get on this boat, it will be very difficult to get off.The six families joined forces to destroy the Nine Clouds Kingdom. Apart from being afraid of the development momentum of the Nine Clouds Nation, they must also covet the rich resources owned by the Nine Clouds Nation.It is too late to give up the research on science and technology now, the six families have united—no, it can be said that including the Jiuyou Tianmen, which was destroyed by Ji Wenyuan, a total of seven families, they have paid the necessary sacrifices to implement the plan, Then you must get a reward before you stop.

Just like the Xue family who was seriously injured, they dare not say that they want to withdraw from the Nine Clouds camp. At this juncture, if they lose the protection of the country and do not have the ability to match the top forces in Xiahong Continent, then there is only a dead end. one.

Ji Wenyuan sat quietly in the corner and stared at Han Yanghao mercilessly piercing the delusions of those monks' self-deception, as if he had returned to three days ago in a trance——

The man raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard his seemingly inexplicable question, and then smiled: "Before answering your question, I also want to ask you a question."

Han Yanghao propped his hands on the ground, and suddenly changed from sitting cross-legged to half-kneeling on the ground. He leaned close to Ji Wenyuan and stared at his eyes from a close distance. Ji Wenyuan could even see his expressionless reflection in his dark eyes. : "Tell me, Wen Yuan, why do you want to protect Jiuyun Kingdom?"

Ji Wenyuan heard his hidden meaning - although he grew up in Jiuyun Kingdom in this life, he never received any favor from Jiuyun Kingdom.After he was born, he was abandoned by his parents and left to the family to take care of him; but all the care he got was not priceless, and these prices will be doubled and returned to the Xue family when he grows up.He started a business in Nine Clouds and created a business empire, but this actually doesn't mean much to the awakened ones, and it doesn't make sense for him to protect his family business.In general, Jiuyun Kingdom is neither as kind to him as the Norman Empire, nor as hard to give up as a priceless treasure.

So why protect Jiuyun Kingdom?

He was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled: "You are so cunning."

Han Yanghao also laughed.

He has long been used to guarding, which is as difficult to change as an attribute engraved deep in his soul.He could still be suppressed when he went to various worlds to perform tasks as an awakened person, but once he truly integrated into his identity in this world, he instinctively wanted to do so.

So the answer to the question is that he wants to do it.

And this was also Han Yanghao's answer to him.

He knew that Han Yanghao hadn't told the truth - at least not entirely because of this reason, it couldn't be called a lie, this person just blocked his reason for continuing to ask questions.

But he didn't want to pursue this question to the end, after all, it was just an introduction, even if Han Yanghao avoided answering it, it didn't matter.He stretched out his hand to hold the cunning doctor into his arms, and said, "You pass this question, and the second question—what do you think is love?"

Han Yanghao was hugged by Ji Wenyuan, and he was quietly stroking his male god's eight-pack abs. When he heard his question, he was speechless: "My God, Ji male god, you always ask such questions, it will make me think you are a full-time job seeker." It's from a psychiatrist. Don't worry about these things, why don't we take this opportunity to do some pleasant exercise?"

Ji Wenyuan held down Han Yanghao's paw that was moving towards an indescribable position: "Don't make trouble, I'm your father."

Han Yanghao: "..."

Han Yanghao's expression was filled with pain: "Oh my God, my male god has learned to be bad so quickly! Ji Wenyuan! You have changed! You are not the honest and lovely old cadre back then!"

However, Ji Wenyuan, who had already seen through his routine, was ruthless: "Say it as if you are still the innocent boy who would blush when watching the teaching video."

Dr. Han was beaten back by his taciturn male god once in a century, and he was speechless.He struggled for a while and finally discovered Ji Wenyuan's sinister intentions in hugging him before, and gave up resisting sadly: "Hey, my male god is worthy of being my male god, I am willing to bow down. Love, isn't it love between us? Need to ask?"

Ji Wenyuan looked down at Han Yanghao's dark hair in his arms, and said in a deep voice, "I mean, your ideal love."

As soon as he said this, he felt that the person in his arms was still for a few seconds, and then suddenly said: "ideal, since it is an ideal, it is an ideal if it is impossible to realize, let alone if it really meets the ideal, then it is not ideal." It must be good."

"But since you think about it, it proves that you are still dissatisfied with me." Ji Wenyuan said in a low voice, "We still have a lot of years. If you say it, I can change it slowly."

Han Yanghao rubbed his head on his shoulder, and said lazily: "God, you have really learned badly, and you can even lie to me. Well, let me tell you, I always think you are too calm, and you are too guarded." Rules. Sometimes I think it would be nice if you could go crazy with me, but unfortunately it’s just thinking about it, if you will go crazy with me, then I should suspect that you have been taken away.”

He was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "You are not crazy, you are just doing what you want to do."

Han Yanghao's breathing was slightly stagnant, and he was silent for a long time this time before he said with a soft smile: "This is probably the second best love story I've heard from you in these years."

"second?"

"Second." Han Yanghao affirmed, his tone became a little erratic, as if he was lost in memory, "You said 'because I remember your eyes' back then, that was your best love story so far."

This sentence has been buried in the corner of Ji Wenyuan's memory for a long time, and he thought for a moment before he suddenly remembered that this was what he said a thousand years ago when he just confirmed that Han Yanghao was an awakened one.

"Is this a love story?"

"of course."

……

When Ji Wenyuan came back to his senses, he heard Han Yanghao concluding to the group of big bosses from the Nine Clouds who had been fooled into saying "You make sense": "That's why you are not strong enough. Fusion missiles plow through those thorns against the road of science and technology, and see who dares to think carefully!"

Ji Wenyuan: "..." What did Dr. Han do when he was distracted?
