"If I knew someone was here, I would have guessed that it was you, Xiao'er. But Xiao'er, could it be that you came to the Imperial City at this time because of the Xiao family?" When he mentioned the Xiao family's troops, his eyes were filled with worry.

"Something has happened to the Xiao family's army, but that's not my main purpose in coming to the Imperial City. Grandfather, when did you end up with the Cloud Battlefield King?" Also, you clearly faked your death, so why didn't you tell Xiao Ya about it? " Han Xiao asked.

"It's a long story, but it's not a place to talk." Han Yan Tian said indifferently.

Hearing Han Yan Tian say this, Han Xiao also knew that this was not the place to speak. He nodded his head and said, "Please lead the way, Battle-King Yun."

"You're quite smart. Come with me." With that, Han Yan Tian turned around and walked away, while Han Xiao and the rest followed him out of the street.

"Da da!" Because it was too quiet around them, the sound of Han Xiao and the rest's footsteps were extremely loud in the dark night. Han Yan Tian and his group finally arrived at the back door of a building and knocked on it three times.

After entering the small courtyard, Han Xiao and the others followed Han Yan Tian to a small two-story building in the backyard. Han Yan Tian brought them to the second floor, where they stopped in front of a room and knocked on the door.

"Come in." A gentle voice came from within the room. After hearing this voice, Han Xiao's body trembled, and he did not care about the others who quickly rushed forward and fiercely pushed open the door.

Seeing Han Xiao's actions, Xiao Moke and Xiao Ke'er were stunned. Han Xiao had always been calm in front of them, even when he saw the ruins of the Duke Xiao Estate. Although he felt sad in his heart, he didn't show it on the surface.

Following Han Xiao into the room, Xiao Ke'er and Xiao Moke saw a man in light golden clothes standing in the middle of the room with his hands behind his back.

"Father." He looked at Han Xiangtian with eyes full of disbelief. Although he knew the person inside the room was Han Xiangtian the moment he heard the voice, he still didn't dare to believe it.

"Xiao'er, thank you for your hard work during this period of time." Han Xiangtian looked at Han Xiao and said with a smile. At this moment, he no longer seemed like that aloof and aloof monarch, but only the father who cared for his child.

"Father? Han Xiao, is he your royal father? " Xiao Moke asked in shock.

"You are Xiao'er's friends. Thank you for coming to help him at this time." Han Xiangtian turned his head to look at Xiao Moke and Xiao Ke'er as he spoke.

Seeing Han Xiangtian's gentle appearance, it was hard for Xiao Mo to imagine that Han Xiangtian was the previous emperor of the Yun Ming Dynasty.

"Father, aren't you in the palace? Why are you here? Could it be that the Cloud Imperial Palace has been completely controlled by Han Zhao?" Han Xiao regained his senses and asked.

"You could say that." Han Xiangtian nodded and continued, "However, I've run the Cloud Imperial Palace for so many years, so it's impossible for civil affairs to be completely controlled." Han Xiangtian said with a smile.

"Then Father, you." Han Xiao asked.

"I came out to talk to Yan Tian, and was just about to leave when I received news that three people had sneakily arrived at the Xiao Mansion. I calculated the time and guessed that it might be you, so I sent Yan Tian and the Duke of Xiao to take a look. If it wasn't you, then bring you here." Han Xiangtian said.

Hearing Han Xiangtian's words, Han Xiao couldn't help but frown, but Han Xiangtian still didn't directly answer his question.

"Xiao'er, your friend has been with you for the past few days. He should be tired. Yan Tian and Xiao'er's two friends should go rest. Xiao'er and I have been reunited for a long time so that we can talk." Han Xiangtian turned his head and said.

Knowing that there was something Han Xiangtian didn't want the two of them to know, Xiao Ke and Xiao Moke tactfully left with Han Yan Tian, the only ones left in the room were Han Xiao, Xiao Ba, and Han Xiangtian.

After seeing Xiao Ke Er and Xiao Mo Ke leave, Han Xiao asked indifferently, "Royal father, just who is Xuan Sheng's person?"

"He is a member of the Xiao family's army." Han Xiangtian said.

"Just a member of the Xiao family's army, or are they three side spies?" Han Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked.

"That will depend on how he decides himself. However, he was the one who informed you about your return to the Imperial City. From this, you can see that he is a meticulous person." Han Xiangtian casually said.

"As expected." Han Xiao nodded his head and spoke with a calm tone, as if he was not the least bit dissatisfied about Xuan Sheng's matter.

"Xiao'er, did you go back to the Imperial City? Did something happen to the Xiao Clan's soldier?" Xiao Ba Ya asked.

Seeing the worry on Xiao Ba Ya's face, Han Xiao remembered that he had yet to answer Xiao Ba Cliff's question. His face flashed with an apologetic expression, "Grandfather, I'm sorry, I forgot to say that something happened to the Xiao Family Army, but I did not return to the Imperial City just to deal with the Xiao Family's matters."

"What happened?" Xiao Ba Ya asked urgently.

Seeing that Xiao Ba Ya was in a hurry, Han Xiao hesitated for a moment before telling him about Zhuo Junyang's betrayal. After saying that, Han Xiao looked at Xiao Ba Ya with an expression of worry, afraid that Xiao Ba Ya would suffer a blow because of this matter.

He was originally just a guard of the Duke of Xiao at first, but then I saw that his talent was not bad and he was only a guard of the Xiao family, so I let him become a commander of the Xiao family's small army. That child had always lived up to my expectations and performed very well in the army, and later on I promoted him to the position of captain of the Nine Divine Planets, and then promoted him step by step to become the commander of the Xuan Wu Army.

Seeing that Xiao Ba Ya's emotions had become agitated, Han Xiao hurriedly went forward to support him and said, "Maybe it's because he's too ambitious, or maybe it's because he's just like that. Now that Zhuo Junyang is dead, Grandfather doesn't need to be angry for someone like him."

"Not only am I angry at his betrayal, I'm also angry at him for betraying the Black Tortoise Army. Every single member of the Xiao family army was built up from the blood and sweat of my life. Watching the Black Tortoise Army end up like this makes my heart ache." His old appearance seemed to have aged even more because of this matter. His entire being was like a failed father berating his own child for being unfilial.

"Grandfather." Seeing Xiao Ba Ya act like this, Han Xiao did not know what to say, so he could only look at Han Xiangtian.

"Lord Xiao, let me ask you, what is the most important thing for you to know?" Han Xiangtian asked indifferently.

"The Lord has decreed that the soldiers be under his command, that the army be his home, and that the soldiers his own." Xiao Ba Ya slowly said.

"I'm not asking you these questions, but what do you think is worthy of becoming the commander of the Xiao family's army? And what kind of person is worthy of being called a soldier of the Xiao family?" Han Xiangtian shook his head.

After hearing Han Xiangtian's words, Xiao Ba Ya hesitated for a moment before saying, "The Xiao family's army should be led by the Xiao family. Xiao Ba Ya didn't finish his sentence before suddenly raising his head and looking at Han Xiangtian for a long time before slowly saying," This old subject understands what the emperor means. People like Zhuo Junyang who betray the Xiao family's army for their own selfish desires are not worthy to be the commander of the Xiao family's army, and the Black Tortoise Army that has forgotten their duty as soldiers aren't worthy to be the soldiers of the Xiao family. "

"Since they aren't worthy of being the generals of the Xiao family, then is it even worth it for you to be so sad for them?" Han Xiangtian asked.

"Indeed, it is not worth this old official to grieve for them." Xiao Ba Ya said seriously.

Seeing that Xiao Ba Ya had thought it through, Han Xiangtian smiled and said, "Duke Xiao, it's good that you can think it through. By the way, Xiao'er, you said that the Black Tortoise Army will be pacified this time.

"Although the Yunjun is only a direct guard of Xi Yun, his fighting strength is at least five times stronger than the Xiao family's army." The Yunjun is only a direct guard of Xi Yun, but his fighting strength is at least five times stronger than the Xiao family's army. Han Xiao thought for a while and said.

"And this is only a single imperial guard. If it's the official army of the Ao Tian Emperor Palace, then how strong would they be? No wonder the Ao Sky Emperor Empire was the only power that could match up to the Abyss Academy." A trace of light flashed across Han Xiangtian's eyes.

"The reason why the Yun Army is so strong is because there is only one commander in the entire army, Xuanyuan Yidao. Furthermore, the Yun Army is absolutely loyal to Xi Yun." After saying that, Han Xiao thought of his main purpose for coming here and hurriedly said, "Oh right, speaking of Xi Yun, Father, is Han Zhao really your biological son?"

After hearing Han Xiao's question, Xiao Ba Ya and Han Xiangtian looked at Han Xiao strangely, especially when Han Xiang Tian lightly coughed and was about to open the door to his room, when Han Yan Tian walked in and saw the expressions on Han Xiangtian and Xiao Yaotian's faces, he asked, "What's wrong with you guys, all of you have this kind of expression."

"It's nothing. I just asked if Han Zhao is father or not." Han Xiao said.

"Han Xiao, no matter how much you hate Han Zhao, you can't suspect Han Zhao's background. In addition, based on Imperial Concubine Wen's obsession with Imperial Brother, it's impossible that Han Zhao is someone else's child." Han Yan Tian said with a frown.

"Xiao'er, what Yan Tian said is right. Moreover, even if Han Zhao's appearance is not in my hands, it would be hard for anyone to believe him." Han Xiangtian said.

When he thought about Han Zhao and Han Xiangtian, Han Xiao nodded and said, "Indeed, if that's the case, then Han Zhao's corpse companion came from Wen Zhenghua."

"Wen Zhenghua, what are you saying, Xiao'er?" Han Xiangtian asked.

Seeing the puzzled expressions of Han Xiangtian and the other two, Han Xiao organized himself and told them everything that had happened since Han Zhao had found the accompanying corpse and the accompanying corpse.

After half an hour, Han Xiao finally explained everything about the living corpse. As for Han Xiangtian and the others, after they heard Han Xiao's words, they fell into silence.
