Henry also got the information, but he had stayed in Mushroom Ridge for too long, and he no longer had the slightest emotion about this kind of thing.

Winston came to him and said:

"They're urging you to go back."

Henry naturally knew which side Winston was talking about "over there". He frowned and asked:

"How long has it been out now? Why are they pressing so hard?"

Winston took a deep breath and said:

"They are also worried about your safety.".

Henry sighed softly. He looked at the stars-like lights below, and his mood was so complicated. If possible, he would rather live here for the rest of his life than return to that cage made of ivory bones and gold threads. .

"Okay, I'll set off in three days. Before that, I have to say goodbye to Brother Xu and settle the property in my hands."

Henry couldn't help laughing again when he thought of Xu Kuang:

"The biggest gain this time is that I got to know Brother Xu. Speaking of which, I also inherited Brother Xu's affection."

He lived in Moguling for several months, and what he got from Xu Kuang was far more than what he gave away.

…

Xu Kuang looked at Henry in astonishment and asked:

"Why are you leaving now?"

Henry smiled bitterly:

"It took too long to come out, and my family felt uneasy, so they asked me to go back."

Xu Kuang understood and said to Henry:

"In that case, I won't keep you. I'll prepare some small gifts for you to take back to your uncle and aunt."

"No need to spend money...".

Xu Kuang smiled and said:

"This is what a junior should do.".

When Henry heard this, he smiled and accepted it.

Three days later, Xu Kuang specially allocated time to see Henry off.

Xu Kuang sent Henry all the way to the northwest road, and the carriage and horses stopped.

Henry smiled and said to Xu Kuang:

"I still have a long way to go, so Brother Xu doesn't have to send me off,"

He cupped his hands and smiled:

"Brother Henry, I hope we can gain something next time we meet again.".

Henry also handed over his hand and said to Xu Kuang:

"I hope that when I come back next time, Brother Xu will no longer prefer to settle in Mushroom Ridge."

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

Xu Kuang smiled and said:

"Thank you for your good advice."

Henry pushed his horse forward, waved his riding whip with his back to Xu Kuang, and then rode away quickly.

Xu Kuang smiled, turned and left.

…

When Forio received the news that Balsamic Ridge had been occupied, it was already noon the next day.

He suddenly collapsed on the ground. The old housekeeper wanted to help him, but Forio grabbed him.

Friot jumped up from the ground, grabbed the old housekeeper by the collar, and asked:

"Are you...are you Xu Kuang's spy? You deliberately transferred my main force to leave, saying, how many benefits Xu Kuang has given you!".

The old butler's face was ashen, and he did not explain, letting Forio grab his collar.

Forio only thought that the old butler had acquiesced. In anger, he drew out the sword from his waist and stabbed the old butler in the chest.

The old butler stared at Forio with sadness on his face. His body suddenly fell to the ground, and his chest whirred like a bellows. Blood kept choking out of the old butler's mouth, and his eyes gradually lost their luster.

When Forio saw the old butler's appearance, he panicked. He quickly knelt down in front of the old butler and said to the old butler:

"I...I didn't mean it, doctor, where is the doctor! Someone is injured!".

The old butler grabbed Forio's hand and shook his head with difficulty.

Forio looked at the old butler in astonishment and found that the old butler's lips were moving, as if he wanted to say something.

Forio leaned down and heard the old butler say to him:

"Don't...don't go against...Xu Kuang...again...".

Forio only felt that the force holding his hand suddenly became weaker. He tried to grab the old butler's hand, but failed.

The old housekeeper's hand suddenly fell to the ground, kicking up a large amount of dust.

Forio was stunned for a moment. He sat on the ground, neither crying nor laughing, just a little numb.

The old housekeeper's son rushed in. He looked at the scene in front of him and didn't know what to do.

There was light in Forio's eyes again, and he said to the old housekeeper's son:

"From today on, you are the new butler...".

The son of the old housekeeper saw Forio's somewhat flattering eyes and immediately understood what was going on.

He pushed Forio's hand away and said:

"No, can I take my father and leave?".

Forio became dull again. He didn't speak, but just looked at the old butler.

The old butler's son picked up the old butler, stood up straight, and said to Forio:

"Do you know what my father said the most to me?"

Forio still didn't respond.

The old housekeeper's son just said to Forio blankly:

"He said that you should always remember your kindness, so if you kill him, I will not take revenge, and I will not continue to work for you. If you want to kill me, just do it."

Forio said numbly to the old housekeeper's son:

"You go."

The old housekeeper's son led the old housekeeper out of the camp.

Forio was the only one left in the camp.

A moment later, heartbreaking cries came from the camp. It seemed like it was at this moment that Forio realized that he seemed to have lost his last relative.

…

After a long time, Forio walked out of the tent, found some water to wash his face, and slapped himself quickly several times to wake himself up.

He asked someone to prepare his horse, and he arrived alone at the gate of Xiangcheng Town, which was closed.

The garrison commander on top of the city shouted:

"Stop!".

Forio stopped obediently.

"For what?".

Forio raised his head, and the sunlight made him squint his eyes. He forced out a smile and said to the garrison commander at the top of the city:

"My dear friend, the exercise is over, let's discuss other things.".

When the garrison commander saw Forio, he frowned and said to Forio:

"I have no right to make the decision. If you really want to defect to us, ask your soldiers to take off their armor, throw away their weapons, and let our people go out to receive it. I can write a letter to my lord and tell him the current situation. Do you agree with the situation?"

Forio continued to smile, and this smile looked a bit flattering to the garrison commander:

"Of course, my dear friend.".

After a while, someone drove out in a car to receive weapons and armor.

On the other side, a fast horse was also running towards Baihua City at high speed.

…

The defenders of the 1st Infantry Battalion were cleaning the streets when they discovered a somewhat honest-looking man walking over with a stiff corpse covered in blood.

The soldier subconsciously took out his weapon, but was stopped by the company commander on the side.

"Don't worry. If this person really had a problem, he would have been stopped by his comrades at the foot of the mountain."

The soldier breathed a sigh of relief.
