004. The grandfather and grandson who depend on each other
Nuo Mimi lowered her head in shame, and her hands were still gently tapping her grandfather's shoulder, relaxing her body for this old man who is now the only relative in the world.
Nuo Yuanxiu took a deep breath and shook his head. He raised his hand, and Nuo Mimi stopped beating her shoulders with her hands, and returned to the seat opposite her grandfather and sat down.
"Good granddaughter, grandpa is old, and now is the critical moment of the Third Demon Sealing War. The demons are powerful, and grandpa doesn't have so much energy to take care of you. At least...... Now Your Majesty is taking the Demon War as the first priority, including your grandfather, the other four ministers are all wholeheartedly improving their strength, and they are trying to become a helper in this Demon War. But you, as the only bloodline of your grandfather, have always refused to take Hun Tian San...... That's really ...... It's going to make other people gossip. ”
Of course, Nuo Mimi knows the situation of her grandfather now, and she also knows the current situation of the Nuo family.
Because the Nuo family is a family of generals, in this war of sealing demons, it is natural that the people of the Nuo family always charge at the front line.
Being on the front line, of course, there are also heavy casualties. Especially in the last water cut operation counterattack, the Nuo family was almost wiped out. It is precisely because of this that the Nuo family's status in the Houtu Kingdom is now receiving the highest commendation from the current saints, and its power is far above the other four ministers.
But, this is entirely superficial.
Although it seems that his Nuo family has the highest command of the army, and is endowed with power second only to the emperor by the current saint, the power is even more powerful than the other four ministers who are united to shake it.
However, this also represents the next war with the Demon Kingdom. He Nuo Yuanxiu had to go to the front in person. And what does it mean to be on the front line? It means going head-to-head with those demons with terrible strength.
Even if you can stay at the back of the safest battlefield, can you defeat the demon kingdom while saving your life?
So. The next time he fights the Demon Kingdom head-on, it will be almost the same as his death.
This. The other four ministers were naturally very clear. Therefore, no one would want to compete with his Nuo family for power in the Houtu Kingdom at this time.
Nuo Yuanxiu is dead, so the next one to go to the battlefield in the name of a general is Nuo Mimi. And when Nuo Mimi dies, the power in the hands of the Nuo family will naturally collapse, and there is no need to bother to compete for power with a person who is about to die. Nuo Yuanxiu knew these things clearly, and he knew that the other four ministers were naturally very clear.
Therefore, even if he has become a super powerful power under one person and above ten thousand people in the Houtu Country today, Nuo Yuanxiu does not feel a little happy. The look in his eyes as he looked at the only granddaughter in front of him. There are more, but there is only one old man who seems to be the last nostalgia before he dies.
Glutinous Mimi bit her lower lip lightly and did not speak.
Looking at his granddaughter, Nuo Yuanxiu sighed again. He took out a small hardcover box from his bosom and opened it, revealing a piece of heaven and earth.
"Granddaughter, let's eat this muddy sky. Boost your strength. If you're lucky in the future...... Maybe a few more days to live. ”
Looking at this muddy sky and listening to Grandpa's words, Nuo Mimi's eyes couldn't help but moisten. Long. After all, she shook her head and said timidly, "Grandpa, I don't want to eat it...... What if I became stronger...... Ding Lang...... Ding Lang, he is weaker than me...... will have even more low self-esteem...... Probably even more ...... You don't want to ignore me......"
"Bastard thing!cough cough !!cough
Nuo Yuanxiu's fist slammed into the table. Smashed the table to smithereens. He covered his chest and coughed loudly twice, looked at the glutinous Mimi in front of him with an angry face, and shouted-
"You're ...... Before this national feud...... In our Nuo family...... When ......the Nuo family is dying! Still thinking about that brute?Still thinking about that negative man?!cough...... Ahem, ahem, ahem, ......!"
Nuo Mimi hurriedly stepped forward again. I want to help my grandfather pat his back. But Nuo Yuanxiu raised his hand and let her continue to sit in her seat.
The attendant next to him moved another table and placed it between the two of them. Nuo Yuanxiu's palm pressed on the table, his eyes like a torch.
But. Now Nuo Mimi seems to have made up her mind, and she no longer bows her head, but also raises her head and looks directly into Nuo Yuanxiu's eyes: "Grandpa! Ding Lang has never failed me, it's me...... I've always been sorry for Ding Lang......! Until now, Ding Lang has never failed me at all...... It's all me who has failed Ding Lang!"
Nuo Yuanxiu looked even more angry, and his eyes were almost about to erupt with anger!
But Nuo Mimi didn't seem to have any intention of stopping, and continued to say loudly: "I don't know what Ding Lang did to make the Holy Lord so angry with him! The original position of general has also been stripped away, and now he has become the director of a small library! But I know that Ding Lang's talent should never be a small storekeeper and fight against those dusts all day long! Ding Lang ...... Ding Lang can do something bigger!"
Nuo Mimi stretched out her hands, directly hugged Nuo Yuanxiu's palm pressed on the table, and said earnestly-
"Grandpa...... Mimi, please...... It's like Mimi is willful, okay? I'll admit it...... When I heard that Ding Lang and the eldest princess had a bad relationship, I was indeed a little excited in my heart...... Especially when I heard that the couple had slept in separate rooms now, I was even happier that I couldn't sleep well at night......! But ......!"
"But...... Grandpa said in his heart that he didn't care about his granddaughter's affairs. Does Grandpa really think that Ding Lang is a traitor and a person who colludes with the Demon Kingdom? Does Grandpa really think that Ding Lang's strength can only be the owner of a small library all the time, rotting among those books and dust?!"
"Grandpa, Daddy and Mom have died in battle...... Now Mimi has only one relative, her grandfather. If Grandpa dies in battle at that time, what should Mimi do? Mimi absolutely can't imagine such a day! However, looking at the entire Houtu Country, does Grandpa really think that Ding Lang's strength is completely unqualified? If Ding Lang ...... Ding Lang is really able to fight against the Demon Kingdom...... Can it really save our Nuo family?"
"Grandpa, think about it...... Would it be good to give Ding Lang a chance? Even if it ...... Even if you only give him a thousand-strong army, see if he can kill a demon, can you give Ding Lang a chance?
Looking at his granddaughter's pleading eyes, Nuo Yuanxiu's anger that was about to erupt has gradually subsided. (To be continued......)
