Chapter 212 Mother
In fact, Han Xu did not lock himself in a small dark room and cry loudly in front of his mother's portrait as the King of Wei thought.
He just looked at the portrait quietly, leaving a few silent tears.
The habits developed over many years of life made Han Xu very good at and accustomed to burying his emotions in his heart, not easily showing them, even if he was alone at the moment.
In front of his mother's portrait, Han Xu let his thoughts fly. He had thought about what his mother would look like countless times in his mind, but when he saw the person in the painting, he found that his imagination was wrong.
"Mother." Han Xu lowered his voice and said, "Child, I'm here to see you."
After saying that, Han Xu couldn't help but reach out, and when his fingertips touched the portrait, something magical happened.
I saw a soft light suddenly lit up on the portrait, as if something jumped out of the paper.
Han Xu felt something in his heart, slowly turned his head, and saw a young woman standing behind him, looking at him tenderly.
This woman is clearly the one in the painting.
"Mother, is that you?" Han Xu felt that he could no longer tell whether what was happening in front of him was real or just an illusion. If it was just an illusion, he hoped it would last longer.
"You are my child, my Xu'er." The woman spoke, her voice as clear and sweet as a yellow warbler.
"It's true!" Even though Han Xu was already a master of the unity of man and nature, and even though Han Xu's character had long been tempered to be extremely tough, at this moment, he could no longer hold back his inner excitement.
"My child!" The woman floated over, wanting to hold Han Xu in her arms, but she passed directly through Han Xu's body.
"Mother!"
"When I saw you, I almost forgot that I was just an energy body." Mu Yao said, "My child, I am just a consciousness left in the portrait. It was Wei Zhan who, at the cost of his fifty years of cultivation, retained a wisp of my soul from the vast world eighteen years ago."
"Uncle Wei?"
"The two people that mother feels most sorry for in her life are you and him. In fact, I have heard everything he said to me over the years, but I just didn't let him know of my existence." Mu Yao said, "Xu'er, you have to be nicer to Wei Zhan in the future."
"My child knows."
"Xu'er, come, let mother take a good look." Mu Yao floated in front of Han Xu and looked at Han Xu deeply, as if to carve his appearance into her bones.
"Xu'er, tell mother your story."
Han Xu nodded and told Mu Yao all the big and small things he had experienced over the years. Only the system things were not mentioned, because Han Xu didn't know how to explain this thing that did not belong to this world.
Mu Yao kept listening, her expression sometimes nervous and sometimes relieved.
"Luo Ling?" Mu Yao was surprised to hear Han Xu talking about Han Luo Ling, "Didn't Han Li tell you that Luo Ling is not your biological sister?"
"What?" Han Xu stood up and said, "Mother, what did you just say?"
"Luo Ling is not your biological sister. She was a baby that Han Li picked up on the roadside when he was attacking the alien race. Seeing that she had the potential to practice, he took her back to the mansion."
"I didn't expect that Han Li would marry Luo Ling to the Martial Emperor." Mu Yao suddenly said to Han Xu, "Xu'er, although Han Li is your father, he is too scheming. You must be careful not to be used by him."
Hearing Mu Yao's evaluation of Han Li, Han Xu didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.
"Xu'er, I was young and it was my first time to travel the world, so I misjudged Han Li. Unfortunately, I only saw through these truths after I died." Mu Yao's words were full of helplessness and regret. I guess a lot of things must have happened back then.
If she could choose King Wei back then, perhaps everything would be different from now.
"I remember." Han Xu said, and his impression of Han Li was reduced a lot.
"Xu'er, my energy body relies on the support of the residual soul, and each time it appears, it can't be too long, so I have to go back to the painting."
"Mother, why don't you meet Uncle Wei."
"Let him in."
Han Xu nodded and walked out quickly. Outside the door, the steel-like man of King Wei was already in tears. Obviously, he knew what happened in the room.
"Uncle Wei, mother wants to see you."
"Junior sister." King Wei's brain was blank, and he couldn't wait to stumble into the study. Han Xu shook his head and didn't stay here.
When he left, his mind was full of only one thing except Mu Yao.
Han Luoling was not his biological sister and had no blood relationship with him.
After a long time, King Wei came out of the study. He looked at the blue sky above his head. The knot of many years seemed to be untied. At the same time, he also strengthened his decision in his heart.
After washing his red and swollen eyes, King Wei walked towards Han Xu's room.
When he saw Han Xu, King Wei did not mention Mu Yao, but said: "Han Xu, Uncle Wei advises you again, don't go back to the royal city. You are now said to be a person who should be robbed. I don't know how many people in the royal city want to target you.
Besides, you are still young and don't know the emperor's heart at all, which is the most difficult to guess in this world."
"Although I can wipe out the Wushen Cult to clear your name, no one can tell what the Emperor Wu is thinking in his heart, but once he suspects you in his heart, even if it is just a little bit, it will bring you unimaginable danger."
Han Xu finally understood that the reason why the King of Wei did not hesitate to wipe out the Wushen Cult was just to prevent the Emperor Wu from suspecting him. Although Han Xu did not know how much the Wushen Cult was, based on the deep-rooted Wushen Cult in the southern border, the King of Wei would have to pay a huge price to uproot it.
This price may not be the soldiers of the Suzaku Army or other visible and tangible things, but the hearts of the people in the southern border.
After living in the Wei Mansion, Han Xu realized that the King of Wei had written to the Emperor Wu that there were many believers in the Wushen Cult in the Suzaku Army and hoped that the court would send people to help was simply a cover, a cover to meet Han Xu reasonably.
The soldiers in the Suzaku Army have always been loyal to the King of Wei. As long as the King of Wei gave an order, they would crush the Wushen Cult.
But the hearts of the people in the southern border may have to cost a lot to be recovered little by little.
"Uncle Wei, thank you for everything you have done for me and my mother." Han Xu thanked him sincerely. King Wei's actions really made Han Xu feel the love from his elders. They were not father and son, but they were better than father and son.
Han Xu bowed and said, "Uncle Wei, I must go back to the royal city. Don't worry, I can protect myself."
"I know you have the protection of the White Sword Demon and the Buddhist master, but there are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the royal city, especially the royal family. There are masters with the same strength as them, and the Emperor Wu himself is the strongest person in the world."
"I know, but there are people I care about in the royal city. If I don't go back, it will confirm the saying of the person who should be robbed, and someone will definitely use this to deal with her." Han Xu didn't know whether he should continue to call Han Luoling sister, but in his heart, he didn't want to continue calling her sister.
"Since you have made up your mind, Uncle Wei supports you." King Wei said, "But before you leave, I will ask you to do something."
"Uncle Wei, just give me your orders."
"I will hand over the Suzaku Army to you, and you will lead the army to wipe out the Wushen Cult."
