Free Web NovelChapter 1109: Chapter 334 Oath (Additional Update for 8000 Monthly Votes)_3
Today, Duan Li had a strange tenacity.
He was either too drunk or too aggrieved to torment someone in such a way.
Du Yehu helplessly said, "If I don’t follow your orders, I’ll be deprived of alcohol my whole life. Is that good enough? Let’s get some sleep!"
"No!" Duan Li waved his hand, "You agreed too quickly, no sincerity! I want another oath."
He pointed his finger in the air, circling it around, then suddenly seemed to think of something and pointed at Du Yehu, "You swear, if you don’t do as I say, your dead brothers won’t attain salvation!"
It was the first time Du Yehu’s face fell.
"You’re going too far!"
The atmosphere in the room became very heavy.
But Duan Li just stared at him stubbornly and drunkenly, as if determined to make him agree. frёewebηovel.cѳm
"You want me to do anything, I’ll risk my life to do it for you, anything is fine, I owe it to you! But to say these things, it’s unnecessary." Du Yehu turned and walked out, "I hope you’re just drunk today!"
"What life of mine are you talking about risking?" Duan Li suddenly roared behind him, "You, who think nothing of your own life, what’s the value of your life to me?"
"So what do you want me to do?" Du Yehu, like an enraged lion, turned around and in a few steps came up to Duan Li, grabbing his lapel, "Are you frustrated? Angry? Cheated into battling on the warfront only to be made into a fool for others to watch, ending up disabled and unable to say anything. Do you want me to help you take revenge?"
He let go of Duan Li and drew his military knife, filled with murderous intent, walking outside, "I’ll go to Xin’an right now!"
"Go to your mother!" Duan Li grabbed his arm from behind, not only failing to hold him but instead got pulled and fell down.
A series of crashes occurred.
Breaking chairs, collapsing tables, smashing wine jars...
Half-eaten food and drink spilled over him, making him a complete mess.
This was once the top military figure of Zhuang Country, second only to General Huangfu Duanming, Nine Rivers Black Armor General, Duan Li!
Du Yehu, already storming towards the door, had to stop.
The murderous intent had disappeared.
He sheathed his knife, turned around, cleaned off the food and drink on Duan Li’s head and face and helped him up.
"I promise you," Du Yehu said gravely, "whatever you ask, I agree to do it. I swear the deadliest oath."
He paused, "After all, there’s nothing left for me to worry about in this world."
Duan Li looked at him, no more drunkenness in his eyes, watching him intently, "Yehu, I have no son, I treat you as my own. I’ve become this detestable figure today, hated by everyone, yet only you still indulge me, coax me, listen to me!" fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
This General, who had exhausted his last bit of Path Origin and vitality in pursuit of his enemy on the battlefield of Zhuang Yong, shook his head solemnly, "I don’t want you to risk your life for me, I want you to fight for yourself!"
He roared, "Promise me!"
Maybe because he’d drunk too much, Du Yehu felt a dryness in his throat. He realized Duan Li might have been sober from the start. Tonight’s conversation could change everything...
But how could he refuse?
His father was a butcher and had died early. This man before him, frail and broken, had acted as the missing "father" figure, always protecting him.
"I promise you," Du Yehu said, "With my brothers who died in Fenglin City, their peace in death as my oath, I promise you."
But the first thing Duan Li said nearly made him lose his balance.
"Not all your brothers in Fenglin City are dead!"
"What are you talking about?" Du Yehu grabbed Duan Li’s arms, looking intensely into his eyes, "What did you say?"
Faced with such a gaze, Duan Li knew that if he was joking today, it would be the end of their friendship.
"Let’s sit down and talk." Duan Li tried to calm him.
Du Yehu released his hands.
In that moment, his arms were almost crushed. Duan Li shook his arms and, without any fuss, found a spot to sit on the ground.
Du Yehu followed suit, sitting down, still staring intently at him.
Duan Li sighed, "Someone came to me today and told me something. Don’t ask who it was, I promised secrecy."
He also watched Du Yehu’s expression closely and slowly said, "This time at the Yellow River Gathering, the participant from Inner Mansion Realm of Eastern Domain Qi Country is named... Jiang Wang!"
Du Yehu deeply closed his eyes.
It took him a long time to open them.
"It’s impossible," he shook his head, "If the third one didn’t die, he would’ve contacted me."
Despite his denial, his lips quivered.
Duan Li watched him with a pained expression, looking at this anxious but genuinely simple and straightforward young man, "If you think about why I forced you to swear that toxic oath before I was willing to tell you the news, you should know it’s true."
Du Yehu was silent for a moment.
The fall of Maple Forest City Region was already somewhat unclear. The sudden death from illness of the old City Lord Liu Yian was also one of the mysteries.
