Douluo: My Father, Titled Douluo

Chapter 72 Tiandou Imperial Guard Colonel

The rain is still falling,

Like talking.

The rain in the north is not as wet and cold as in the Star Luo Empire in the south.

It came with large clouds, covering the sky and the sun, accompanied by rumbling thunder, making everything as far as the eye could see was filled with torrents.

The sky is dark and bright.

A spirit master captain entered the house holding an umbrella.

He is a captain in the imperial guard of Tiandou Imperial City. He has just finished guarding at midnight and returned to his house in Tiandou City.

"Mr. Lang, you are back, I will bring out the noodles." A gentle woman walked out of the house and said with a smile.

"Yeah." The captain sat down at the dining table.

This woman's surname is Liu, a native of Tiandou City. She is not very old, but has been a widow for many years.

After the two met accidentally, they became close.

Naturally they lived together.

Madam Liu is very clever, she can cook pretty well, and she also cooks the dishes very well.

"Mr. Lang, please try this side."

A bowl of clear soup noodles was served. There were only a few vegetables and a few slices of ginger in it, but it was very delicately cooked and showed a lot of effort.

"On this rainy day, eat ginger to warm your stomach."

"Yeah." The captain took the chopsticks and started eating the noodles.

Madam Liu was sitting next to him, smiling and watching him eat.

The captain also smiled sillyly at Mrs. Liu, but there was still a kind of sadness in his eyebrows that could not be wiped away.

"Did Mr. Lang encounter something troublesome?" Madam Liu asked.

The captain thought for a while and thought it would be a good idea to talk to someone about these things.

So he sighed,

road:

"well,

Originally, I had been in the Guards for more than ten years and should have been promoted long ago. Unfortunately, those gilded young masters took the position.

this time,

Finally, the position of a general became vacant.

I also gave the deputy commander a full two hundred gold soul coins and asked him to help operate it.

Unexpectedly, a dog came through the back door and occupied this position."

"Then the commander will not do anything after receiving the money?"

Madam Liu frowned.

"Who knows, I won't get the money back anyway." The captain was furious.

"That person is very strong? Admitted under special circumstances?" Madam Liu asked again.

"Hey, it's not like you don't know that some of those who came in through connections have real abilities."

The captain frowned, then sighed:

"There's nothing we can do about it, it's good if we have a relationship.

That person was brought up by Prince Snow Star. In fact, his strength is only level thirty-three, which is five levels lower than me."

Madam Liu also remained silent.

The captain sighed: "Not only that, tomorrow he becomes a general, and I have to give him a gift to celebrate. How can there be such a truth in the world?"

"Oh, this is the only way in the world."

Madam Liu held the captain's hand:

"People like us are not the only ones with this kind of truth. When those big shots stamp their feet, the earth will fall apart in our place. I would like to thank God for a safe life."

"Oh, I don't accept it!"

The captain also felt uncomfortable in his heart.

road:

"If I had stopped at the position of captain, why would I have practiced so hard? I can still get by if I'm over 20 levels!"

"A gentleman must not let himself fall."

When Mrs. Liu heard this, she quickly said to the captain with a serious face:

"God rewards hard work, sir. Why don't you continue to work hard to break through level 40? When you reach level 40, the position of general will not be easy to get."

The captain was very moved. Mrs. Liu was also a reasonable person and quite virtuous.

But he still frowned.

"If I can break through level 40, there is no need for me to frown here."

The captain took a sip of ginger soup and the coldness in his body was dispelled.

"I'm thirty-nine years old this year. Soul Sect... should be able to do it."

The captain felt a slight bitterness in his mouth.

Captain, his achievements are pretty good among ordinary civilian soul masters.

How could there be so many civilian soul masters on the Douluo Continent? They were born with outstanding talents.

Most people just study peacefully,

From a junior college to an intermediate college, by the time you get to a senior college, you may no longer be able to afford it, so you have to work hard in society.

Being able to get a job like a school captain guarding the palace, in the eyes of many civilian soul masters, is a good job that is both stable and safe.

"That's really all your talent is."

Suddenly, a message reached the captain's ears.

"Don't alert anyone, don't tell anyone, come out."

After the captain heard the message, his hands shook subconsciously, and then he patted Madam Liu on the shoulder.

"You go to bed first, I'm going out to do something now."

"What are you doing? Haven't you already finished your shift today?"

Mrs. Liu didn't understand very much.

"If you want to sleep, just go to sleep. Why do you talk so much? Really."

The captain patted Madam Liu on the shoulder impatiently.

He didn't want Mrs. Liu to be overly curious and follow him out, only to be discovered by the person who sent the message.

If someone comes here with bad intentions, they may kill Madam Liu directly in order to keep it secret.

Madam Liu packed up the dishes and hurried back to the house to sleep.

The captain waited for a moment, opened his umbrella and walked out, looking around.

He lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and cheered up a little.

asked:

"Is anyone there?"

A hand was placed on the captain's shoulder.

"Here it is."

Yuan Xunlu appeared in the darkness.

"You...you are?"

"Don't be nervous." Yuan Xunlu handed the captain a cigarette.

"I have a cigarette..."

The captain stopped talking. He was also very smart and quickly took Yuan Xunlu's [Nine-Five Supreme].

He would never be willing to buy this kind of cigarette for the rest of his life.

"Hey, sir, what do you mean?"

The captain had a flattering smile on his face.

"It's me."

Yuan Xunlu reached out and took off his mask, then flashed the crown prince token in his hand.

"I'm working for the prince now."

"Brother Yuan!" The captain obviously knew Yuan Xunlu.

The fate between the two of them was forged while they were drinking, and they were considered acquaintances.

but,

This captain didn't know that Yuan Xunlu was the famous Dragon King Douluo.

Just think of him as a rich and powerful soul master.

"Brother Yuan is working for the prince and has a bright future. I..." The captain was puzzled.

"The prince needs help from the military."

Yuan Xunlu said this after careful consideration.

If we follow Qian Renxue's coup trajectory in the original work, then Qian Renxue should be planning to transfer the soul master from Wuhun Palace.

But that would be too big of a loophole.

The most important thing is the group of soul masters in Wuhun Palace.

Although they are loyal, they may not necessarily die for the rebellion.

Once the prince falls into a disadvantage, someone will jump out and say:

Let’s discuss it later,

Keep the green hills and don’t worry about running out of firewood, etc.

Because they are from Wuhun Palace, if they fail to rebel, they can just break them into pieces and return to Wuhun Palace. There is no need to risk their lives to help the prince rebel.

But if there is a group of middle and low-level officers who are loyal to the prince, it will be different.

They have been suppressed by senior officers for a long time. If they want to be promoted, they must have the merit of following the dragon.

Secondly,

They also knew that what they were doing was a rebellion, so of course they would risk their lives to push the prince to the throne.

Otherwise they will have no way to survive.

certainly,

This is just an afterthought.

It's impossible to tell the officers now,

Now we just need to draw cakes for them,

He said that you have fallen into the eyes of the prince and become our glorious princelings.

"But I'm just a thirty-something soul master, so what's the use?" The captain scratched his head in confusion.

"High-level military officers may not support the prince wholeheartedly. If you support the prince now, you will follow the dragon's merits in the future."

Yuan Xunlu continued:

"As for level 30... I'm not asking you to fight.

It's just that the prince hopes to have his own eyes and ears in the Imperial Guard."

The captain was silent.

He is not the kind of person who trades his head for promotion. He is content with the life of his wife and children.

"If you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your children. It's better to be a young master than a slave."

Yuan Xunlu also knew the fate of this captain.

That's family.

Like Yuan Xunlu who was alone when he was young,

Of course you can be as crazy as you want.

But after Yuan Xunlu got Yuan Linger,

In the beginning, I wanted my children to practice safely.

But later Yuan Ling'er decided to kill Tang San,

Yuan Xunlu put away his previous lazy attitude and started thinking about Yuan Ling'er's future.

The captain finished smoking his cigarette and carefully lit the [Nine-Five Supreme].

Take a deep breath:

"call--"

The captain exhaled a long line of smoke, and he showed a simple and honest smile.

"Is this what the big guys smoke?"

"right."

Although Yuan Xunlu didn't smoke, he still answered like this.

"hey-hey,

Actually,

Whether I smoke 95 Supreme or ordinary white yarn,

They’re all the same.”

The captain shrugged his head like a dog.

"But I have to think about my children.

You are right, it is better for a child to be a master than a slave."

The captain took a deep breath again and looked at his house,

There,

Madam Liu is pregnant.

"I also come from a poor family,

I have been climbing for so many years just for the status and money.

When I was a child, I worked as a cow and horse for the young master of a wealthy family.

The young master stole my job and used it as a frisbee for the dog to play with. If I didn't come back, I would sit there and cry.

The housekeeper came over and gave me a slap in the face, asking me to applaud and praise the dog for its good performance.

The housekeeper said that the young master is kind-hearted and cannot see the poor crying."

There are no reviews for Yuanxunlu.

"I don't want my child to be a slave anymore."

The captain made a decision in his mind.

"Do you need me to get a vote? Kill a leader."

"Haha, I will use you when necessary."

Yuan Xunlu handed the captain a bag of gold soul coins. After a rough count, there were as many as a thousand.

"As for the official position...the prince must not blatantly extend his hands into the army.

But let the newly appointed general die unexpectedly,

There’s still no problem.”

The captain felt a chill in his back as he listened.

General Lang was already considered a minor leader in his eyes, but he didn't expect to kill him right away.

These big shots don't care about human life at all.

The captain weighed the thousand gold soul coins in his hand.

Only then realized,

This is probably the money that allowed him to bribe the commander again after the general died.

The excess may be his own.

"Practice hard and climb up. I hope you can reach level 40 in ten years."

Yuan Xunlu patted the captain's shoulder and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The rain gradually became lighter,

But the captain only felt that,

The cold air reaches the sky.
