Under normal circumstances, it would be disrespectful for a younger generation to ask an elder such a question, but now the world is in chaos and there is no time to worry about it.

The old patriarch sighed for a long time, finally nodded, and whispered: "Just before I got married, I was still wavering in my heart. I... I felt that if I married like this, I would not have a peaceful life for the rest of my life."

The more Li Changsheng listened, the more frightened he became.

The old patriarch took a breath and continued, "In the end, I went to find Li Che alone. I don't know what I want. Maybe, maybe I want to give each other an explanation."

Li Changsheng's heart was beating like a drum. What happened back then? Could it be... Could it be...

The old patriarch saw that his two grandsons were frowning, but they both hesitated to speak, "You don't have to think too much. I have never let your grandfather down, and I have never let Di Xiong down."

Upon hearing this, the two brothers looked at each other and quickly bowed their heads to admit their mistakes.

The old patriarch shook his head and continued, "That was also the last time we met. I didn't expect Li Che to be braver than me. That day he said that if I was willing, he would take me away from Jiuli and Nanman. I asked him, we are all Jiuli people, where can we go? He replied, there is no place we can't go, so what about the north and the demon realm?"

The two brothers then realized that the old man Yunshan was sincere to their grandmother. However, they were even more confused as to why their grandmother did not go with him.

The old patriarch was very emotional when she spoke of this. It was obvious that this was a problem that she had been hiding for many years.

After a long time, the old chief said, "I really didn't have the courage. I just wanted to not betray my father, my husband, and my tribe. What he said scared me. After I went back, I calmed down, married your grandfather, and never saw Li Che again."

Li Jiuzhan asked: "Then how did Li Che become the old man Yunshan?"

The old patriarch said, "Brother Li Che is a smart man, and he is good at military tactics. He has made many military achievements in the Disha tribe, and was soon promoted to Vanguard General and General of the Army. He is second only to one man and above ten thousand people. I feel relieved when I heard that he is so good."

Li Jiuzhan noticed that his grandmother still looked worried, "But you still don't seem to have let it go."

The old patriarch sighed, "Because I later heard that he was single all his life and never married."

"what!"

The two brothers were shocked, which shows how deeply Li Che loves his grandmother.

After hearing their grandmother's story, the two brothers knew that the old man Yunshan was very special to their grandmother. They didn't know what the scene would be like if the two of them really met. But now Di Qiu's clues pointed to Li Che, so whether they would meet him or not could only wait for their grandmother's instructions.

There was silence for a while.

Finally, it was the old patriarch who spoke up. “It wasn’t easy for Ah Zhan to get the news this time. Diqiu is extremely important to us Dixiong. Whether it’s true or not, I have to go meet this old friend.”

Li Changsheng lay on his grandmother's lap, full of guilt, "Grandma, this is all for us. I'm sorry for the trouble."

The old patriarch smiled and shook his head, "Silly boy, you are talking nonsense again. I am an old man, and I will help you as much as I can. If one day you don't need me anymore, that would be really difficult for me."

The two brothers knew that their grandmother had been a soldier all her life and had a very strong personality. She would be heartbroken when the day came when she was no longer useful.

The old patriarch said, "Okay, hurry up and get ready. We will set out at Chou time tonight. Be careful not to be seen by others."

……

Xuanyuan Changqing and the other three followed the Fire Phoenix and quickly rushed to the east side of the God of War Mountain. After flying for a while, the Fire Phoenix was still looking around and had no intention of going down to look for anyone.

Yu Mu was concerned about Chen Qingzhou's safety and asked anxiously, "General Fenghuang, can't you find him?"

"damn it!"

The Fire Phoenix was also very anxious and said angrily: "The terrain changes every three days, who knows where it has changed to!"

Although this statement was exaggerated, the three of them understood it. The land of the Southern Barbarians was different from the Central Plains. In addition, with the rampant monsters and endless wars in the past year, the previous underground passages were indeed difficult to find.

Xuanyuan Changqing asked, "When the death row was built, did the general ever go to the exit of the secret passage?"

"That's right!" Fire Phoenix shook his head and cursed, "Brother Hao didn't take me there. He only said that there was a big deep valley about ten miles to the east, and the underground water in this secret passage flowed out from there."

Xuanyuan Changqing pondered and said, "If we are late, Qingzhou and the others will be in more danger. How about this, we split into two groups, one high and one low, and head east to find the source of the waterfall."

Yan Yuyao was delighted and was about to speak when she heard Xuanyuan Changqing say, "General Fenghuang, please go with Junior Sister Yan. It will be convenient for you."

It is indeed more convenient for a woman to travel together. Fire Phoenix looked up and down at the charming Yan Yuyao again, with a bit of strangeness in her eyes, but she did not refuse.

Yu Mu knew in his heart that Xuanyuan Changqing made such arrangements not only for convenience, but also because he had just had a conflict with the Fire Phoenix. Although he wanted to go with Yan Yuyao, he had no choice but to obey since his senior brother had spoken.

Yan Yuyao sighed slightly, but didn't say much, just said: "Be careful."

"You too!" Yu Mu smiled and waved goodbye.

Xuanyuan Changqing just nodded.

The Fire Phoenix was more familiar with the terrain of the Southern Barbarians, so it flew at a low altitude with Yan Yuyao.

Xuanyuan Changqing took Yu Mu to observe the changes in the clouds and miasma ahead from high in the sky. If there were waterfalls or swamps below, the water vapor above would always be somewhat different.

Yu Mu was still worried and couldn't help but ask, "Senior Brother Xuanyuan, do you think Brother Chen will be okay?"

Xuanyuan Changqing saw that he was very nervous and comforted him: "Don't you know him yet? Don't worry."

Yu Mu nodded. "Brother is indeed smart and capable, and he is also a warrior who fights against demons. I shouldn't be worried. But...but now I am in Nanman, many things are very different from Zhongzhou. I am afraid...I am afraid..."

I dare not speak out loud about the various bad outcomes I imagine, for fear that they may come true.

Xuanyuan Changqing said: "Don't worry. Although Qingzhou is young and has not accumulated enough internal strength, it is indeed troublesome for him to deal with those difficult monsters. However, he has three outstanding advantages. It is precisely because of these three points that I firmly believe that he will be fine."

Yu Mu was Chen Qingzhou's younger brother, but he was used to being taken care of by him. He seemed to have never calmed down to observe this elder brother. He felt a little embarrassed, but still asked: "Brother, what three advantages are you talking about?"

Xuanyuan Changqing smiled and said, "First, Qingzhou is very tenacious. You can say he is indomitable. Just imagine, how could an ordinary disciple go to the back mountain to kill monsters immediately after becoming a disciple of Tianci? Moreover, he entered the Five Extreme Monster Cave at that time. Not only did he not die, but he almost wiped out his entire family. Can you imagine how much he suffered?"

Yu Mu had heard about this matter, but he hadn't really thought about it. After hearing what Xuanyuan Changqing said, he couldn't help but nodded.

"He has never been liked by Lord Huo, but despite all that he has gone through, he has always been able to maintain a positive and optimistic attitude, which is not easy. As long as it is someone or something he approves of, he will risk his life to be sincere to them."

"Yeah," Yu Mushen agreed, "What about the second advantage?"
