Chapter 1305 Hu Yidao
In reality, there are no bad people among ordinary people in any country.
Most of them are people in power who do things for their own selfish desires.
In fact, it's just like the unknown dangers they face now.
Those unknown extraterrestrial civilizations are clearly far more powerful than them.
This proves that their capabilities far surpass those of this side, yet they still desire to plunder and control this area...
This is greed...
In fact, people from any planet are probably like this.
They traveled at a leisurely pace, finally arriving at the central city of India on the third day.
He inquired and found out that Eva lived here.
The central city of India is a place called Brahma City, and its urban planning is quite similar to that of the Kingdom of Xiao.
It feels like it was just copied and pasted.
Of course, the people and palaces here are different; the palaces here have a distinctly Indian feel.
Another thing is that the air here is filled with a unique curry smell.
Cars are not allowed in the core area of their city.
Yin Pan'er said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, shall we go directly to the palace? Is Sister Eva over there?"
After hearing Yin Pan'er's words, Xiao Ce nodded and then said, "That's right. Actually, after seeing so much along the way, I have absolutely no interest in this country...after all, it's similar to Xiao Kingdom..."
After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er looked at Xiao Ce's expression.
At this moment, Xiao Ce showed an eagerness to return home.
Xiao Ce has had enough rest these days.
After parking their car, they walked along the street toward the central area.
This palace was originally the royal palace of India, and it was already quite luxurious before.
So even though the entire city was being planned, this palace remained untouched...
Upon arriving outside the palace, they were immediately stopped by several Slavic soldiers.
These individuals were likely transferred from Slavic countries by Eva.
"Sir, what do you want to do?" the Slavic man asked in the Slavic language.
With the establishment of the East Asian Federation, the language of Xiao became the unified language of East Asia.
Dragon coins are the official currency.
Of course, they simply have another language to choose from; they are not forced to abandon their own national languages...
Xiao Ce immediately produced the token given to him by Yin Weiyong: "I am a special envoy of the East Asian Federation, and I have urgent business to attend to with Ms. Eva..."
The Slavic guard at the entrance glanced at Xiao Ce after seeing him.
Upon seeing the token, he still bowed.
"Sir, you can wait here for a moment. Your timing is unfortunate; President Eva has gone out on urgent business..."
Xiao Ce was not surprised when he heard what the Slavic guard said.
After all, Eva is the president.
"What about Hu Yidao?"
When the Slavic guard heard Xiao Ce's words, he said, "Vice President Hu Yidao is not here, but he will be back tonight. Envoy, please go and rest... I will inform you as soon as the President or Vice President arrives..."
After hearing what the Slavic guard said, Xiao Ce nodded, not in a hurry.
"By the way, where is President Eva's child...? Could you take me to see him..."
The Slavic guard glanced at Xiao Ce, then said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Special Envoy, I don't have that authority. Only with the President's approval can I proceed..."
Xiao Ce wasn't surprised and didn't ask any further questions.
As they were talking, he was led aside to a resting place.
Yin Pan'er looked at Xiao Ce, then took his hand and said, "Your Highness, are you a little nervous?"
Seeing Yin Pan'er's reaction, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "No... I'm not nervous at all..."
Looking at Xiao Ce's manner of speaking, Yin Pan'er chuckled and then said, "He's not even nervous..."
Seeing Yin Pan'er say this, Xiao Ce smiled bitterly: "As expected, nothing can be hidden from you... That's right, it's impossible not to be nervous... After all, he's my child... my first child, the first child of my two lifetimes. I'm very curious about what he looks like..."
Yin Pan'er smiled gently and said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, it won't be long before we see him..."
Xiao Ce nodded.
However, they arrived much later than expected...
As night slowly fell, a deep blue veil draped the magnificent Brahma Palace complex.
The lights inside and outside the palace were already on, and the soft light dispelled the shadows in the corners of the courtyard, making the reception room where Xiao Ce was located even more quiet.
Outside the window, one could faintly hear the hustle and bustle of the market closing up in the distance and the long, drawn-out sound of the night watchman's clapper. But this worldly liveliness seemed to be isolated by an invisible barrier, unable to penetrate the waiting atmosphere and the barely perceptible anxiety that permeated the room.
Yin Pan'er sat on a soft couch covered with Indian brocade, holding a cup of hot milk tea, served by a maid and exuding a rich, spiced aroma. Her gaze frequently drifted towards the doorway. She said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, if you're in a hurry, you could reveal your identity to them. Once they know who you are, they'll definitely expedite things..."
Xiao Ce glanced at the little mudfish curled up on the low stool beside him, nodding its head. Clearly, the days of travel and the boredom of waiting had made it hard for it to keep going.
Xiao Ce laughed and said, "Forget it, I've been waiting this long. Besides, they haven't come back yet, which means they're busy with something. We're basically unemployed now, let them be busy."
As he spoke, Xiao Ce stood by the window, his back to the room. He looked out at the meticulously maintained courtyard, the silhouettes of exotic flowers and plants faintly visible in the moonlight, and then said, "Good things come to those who wait!"
As time ticked by, just as Yin Pan'er was considering whether to let the little mudfish go to rest, a series of steady and powerful footsteps came from the corridor outside the door, approaching from afar.
These footsteps were different from the quiet whispers of the palace servants, and also different from the uniformity of the guards on patrol. Each step carried a unique weight, as if it could shatter ice, and subtly revealed the fierceness of someone who had been through many battles.
Xiao Ce heard the commotion and his eyes narrowed slightly.
coming!
The door was gently pushed open, and a figure appeared in the doorway.
The newcomer was tall, almost as tall as Xiao Ce, with a broad frame and bulging muscles, which made his dark blue vice-presidential uniform with Indian-style embroidery look bulge and taut.
His face was rugged, with lines as if cleaved by a knife and axe. Beneath his thick eyebrows were a pair of sharp, hawk-like eyes. His chin was covered with a carefully trimmed short beard, but it could not conceal the hideous scar at the corner of his mouth that slanted downwards and almost extended to his ear.
It was Hu Yidao!
He was a fierce general among Xiao Ce's Twelve Fiends, and was as famous as Da Lei. He was known for his superb swordsmanship and his fearless ferocity.
When Xiao Ce wanted to overthrow Tianzhu, Hu Yidao volunteered to help.
They valued Hu Yidao's loyalty and ruthless methods to stabilize the situation.
Later, when Eva came over, he devoted himself to assisting her.
Several years have passed, and he is now the Vice President of the Republic of India, in charge of military law and some political affairs, wielding considerable authority.
But time and status did not seem to diminish the fierce spirit in his bones; instead, it became more reserved and dangerous beneath his composed official robes.
Hu Yidao's gaze first fell on Yin Pan'er, and the scrutiny in his eyes instantly turned into respect. He clearly recognized this princess who held a superior position by Xiao Ce's side.
He immediately clasped his hands in a fist and bowed slightly: "I was unaware of Your Highness's arrival. This humble general, Hu Yidao, has failed to greet you properly. I beg Your Highness's forgiveness! I never imagined that the special envoy would be Your Highness..."
His voice was loud and clear, making it particularly distinct in the quiet room. It startled the drowsy little mudfish, who looked up blankly.
Yin Pan'er put down her teacup and smiled gently, "General Hu, there's no need for such formality. Our arrival was quite unexpected. Besides, I'm not the special envoy this time..."
Hu Yidao then turned his gaze to the man on the side.
Even now, indoors, Xiao Ce is wearing a mask to cover his face. The reason is simple: he doesn't want to cause unnecessary trouble...
When Hu Yidao saw this man, he only felt that the scene before him was somewhat familiar...
He had only come to see this "special envoy" who held the highest authority token of the East Asian Federation as a routine matter, and he was still a little puzzled as to why the other party would directly ask to see Eva and the child.
However, when his gaze actually fell on this person.
That familiar silhouette, that steady and unwavering presence like a mountain.
Hu Yidao's pupils suddenly contracted!
His previously composed demeanor crumbled instantly!
Instead, there was extreme shock, disbelief, and a surge of ecstasy welling up from the deepest part of my heart!
His hands, accustomed to gripping knife handles and with large knuckles, clenched tightly, making a slight grinding sound from his knuckles, and his burly body trembled uncontrollably.
"Your Highness... Your Highness?!" A cry of surprise and uncertainty, accompanied by a huge tremor, burst from Hu Yidao's throat, filled with probing and an expectation that even he himself found absurd.
"Your Highness, is that you?"
"Hu Yidao, it's been a long time." Xiao Ce's voice was calm, with a hint of barely perceptible emotion.
As he spoke, Xiao Ce slowly removed the mask from his face.
"Pfft!"
Absolutely confirmed!
Hu Yidao, this towering man, this vice president who could shake the ground with a stomp of his foot in India, suddenly and without warning, like a mountain of gold and a jade pillar collapsing, slammed his knees heavily onto the cold, hard marble floor!
The sound was deep and resounding. The massive head slammed down, forehead pressed to the ground, the voice trembling with emotion, a deep sob escaping its lips:
"Your Highness! It really is you! This humble general, Hu Yidao... pays his respects to Your Highness! May Your Highness enjoy boundless blessings and peace!"
His tall body heaved violently, his shoulders shrugged, and the emotions in his voice were so intense, as if he wanted to release all the loyalty, longing, worry, and ecstasy of the reunion he had accumulated over the years.
This scene was remarkably similar to the reaction of Yunqing Urgen at the Turkic royal court, yet it also carried Hu Yidao's unique iron-bloodedness and straightforwardness.
The little loach was completely stunned, its mouth agape wide enough to fit an egg.
He had seen princes respected before, but this was the second time he had ever seen such a powerful and fierce-looking man kneel down and weep like a child.
He didn't quite understand why these tough men were so prone to crying.
A hint of emotion flashed in Yin Pan'er's eyes as she softly said, "Hu Yidao, get up quickly. The Prince doesn't like these formalities."
Xiao Ce stepped forward, took a few steps, and personally supported Hu Yidao's strong and sturdy arm, lifting him up with force: "Alright, how old are you? You're the vice president, what kind of behavior is this, crying and sobbing like this?"
Xiao Ce's voice carried a hint of reproach, but more so warmth. He patted Hu Yidao's shoulder: "Why are you strong men all so used to crying... Get up and talk."
"Yes! Yes! Your Highness!"
Hu Yidao hastily wiped away the tears and snot on his face with his sleeve, trying to straighten his back, but his red eyes and still rapid breathing betrayed the turmoil in his heart.
He gazed greedily at Xiao Ce's face, as if trying to make up for all the years he had missed. "Your Highness! You...you suddenly came without any warning! This humble general...this humble general is truly...truly..."
"And what you said about everyone being a crybaby... who else has ever seen you cry?"
He was so excited that he was incoherent, and his immense joy made it difficult for him to find the words he needed.
Xiao Ce saw Hu Yidao's expression, smiled, and then said, "Who else could it be? Yun Qing. Urgen."
Hu Yidao suddenly understood after hearing Xiao Ce's words.
"That's right, Your Highness, you must have come from the Turkic Khaganate..."
Xiao Ce nodded, then said, "By the way, where did Eva go? Why hasn't she come back yet?"
Hu Yidao shook his head: "I don't know either. I saw the President this morning, but she didn't say anything... She probably had personal matters to attend to. There's nothing much happening in India right now..."
Xiao Ce nodded, not continuing the question, and changed the subject: "How has India been as a whole these past few years? This Brahma City seems quite prosperous, almost making me feel like I've returned to the capital."
Mentioning the current state of India, Hu Yidao's face immediately lit up with pride, a feeling of accomplishment at seeing the land he helped build come back to life: "Thanks to Your Highness's great fortune! India has truly undergone earth-shattering changes in the past few years!"
He counted them off on his thick fingers, as if reciting a familiar story:
“The Sanjay we found before. We had him pretend to be a master, and now he’s the representative of the Indian gods! And it seems Sanjay has even fooled himself!”
"He also considers himself a spokesperson for God. With him in charge, preaching and teaching every day, he guides people towards good and resolves countless grievances. He represents divine authority and has high prestige; with his approval, there is much less resistance to implementing new policies!"
