Gu Jiao said, "Why do you ask?"
Liao Chen looked at the branches above his head and said, "My uncle’s Red-Tasseled Spear is in your hands. I know it’s by chance, but it always feels like... somehow it’s destined, that it should belong to you."
Gu Jiao remained silent.
Liao Chen said, "The battle armor you wear is that of the first Shadow Division master. The armor was reforged from my uncle’s armor, yet that set originally was a gift from the first Shadow Division master to him."
So the origin of my battle armor and Black Armor is like this.
There was one more thing Liao Chen didn’t mention.
The battle armor and Black Armor are meant to be inseparable, and now they’ve finally united, as if... they’ve met their true owner.
A gentle breeze swept through.
Liao Chen turned to look at her again and found she had already fallen asleep, hugging the Red-Tasseled Spear.
Hei Feng Wang silently approached, biting off a cloak from the baggage cart and gently placing it over Gu Jiao.
Liao Chen closed his eyes in envy.
After a while, he felt something added to his body too.
He opened his eyes and saw Hei Feng Wang had bitten off something to cover him.
—A tattered sack.
Liao Chen: "..."
...
The next day at hour of Chen, the sky on the horizon was gray and cloudy, carrying an unseen air of hostility.
Hei Fengqi and Shadow Division were at the gates of the city.
Pu City wasn’t as easy to defend as Quyang City, for two reasons: first, it had long been in disrepair, the former city lord had embezzled the allocated Silver, causing repair delays.
Second, when the Jin army seized Pu City recently, they had already damaged various city towers once.
Once the Jin army entered, they enslaved a large number of able-bodied men from the city to repair the city tower, but unfortunately, the southern part was still not completed.
Gu Jiao and Liao Chen rode at the forefront of the thirty thousand strong army, looking up at a few vaguely familiar figures on the city tower.
"They really are Han Family people." She guessed correctly and introduced to Liao Chen, "That silver-haired man is Fifth Lord Han, beside him is Han Family’s eldest son Han Lei, which is Han Ye’s father."
Liao Chen looked at them.
They also looked at Liao Chen.
Han Lei mused, "I know that young man. He took Xiao Liulang’s identity, and was adopted by the Duke of An to become Hei Fengqi’s commander. But who is the person next to him? I feel like I’ve never seen him before."
Han Ci said nothing.
He stared at Liao Chen intensely, and Liao Chen gazed back, not flinching.
Han Lei glanced at Han Ci and asked, "Fifth brother, do you recognize him?"
Han Ci said, "I don’t know him. But those eyes, seem like I’ve seen them somewhere."
Gu Jiao raised her Red-Tasseled Spear defiantly, pointing in the direction of the city tower, and shouted arrogantly, "Han Family dogs, dare you come out and fight with me?"
Han Lei was so angry that the corner of his mouth twitched!
In the next instant, the city gate swung open, and a young man in silver armor charged out, sword in hand.
Gu Jiao squinted to take a closer look.
Hmm?
Han Ye.
