It was late at night, Lingwu had dinner at his grandfather's place, and then went directly to the main hall of the backyard with his grandfather. When I entered the door, I found that there were several people sitting in the house, the two uncles were there, and Lin Yun, the head of the marching army, was also sitting. There are two other people, one is Lin Yun's eldest son Lin Zhi, and the other is Wei Qingsong, the captain of his grandfather's personal guard.

When my grandfather entered the door, everyone was talking in a whisper, and when they saw the master come in, they all hurriedly stood up to greet him. After my grandfather sat down, he looked around and looked at everyone for a while, for a while, and then beckoned everyone to sit down in turn. Grandpa's special gesture made the atmosphere in the room solemn.

"I'm asking everyone to come and sit with me today, it's so late because I want to talk to you. You are all shouldering the heavy responsibility arranged by the Hou Ye now, shouldering the safety of the Hou country, and there have been a lot of things recently, but I am afraid that there will be no time to talk to me in the future. ”

Speaking of this, the two uncles, Lin Yun and Wei Qingsong, suddenly got up and knelt in front of him together, Lingwu and Lin Zhi were taken aback and hurriedly stood up. Lin Yun choked up and said, "My lord, don't think like this. I, Lin Yun, am also over 60 years old this year, and I have been with you since I was born, and I have been with you all my life, and in my eyes you are like my father. If you have anything to say, just explain it to us people, we will always listen to you, and my Lin family is willing to defend the master with my life. Everyone in the room couldn't help but cry at this time.

"Get up, cry for what? I'm not dead, get up quickly" The master also had tears in his eyes, reached out and took Lin Yun's hand and said, "Ah Yun, your father and I are brothers in life and death, and he left us in his twenties. Leaving you and your mother, I have always wanted to nurture you well, but you are always reluctant to leave. Since I was a teenager, he has been helping me in the master's mansion, and this gang has been for decades. You are smart and capable, well-read and familiar with military and government affairs, and you have managed the government inside and outside the government in an orderly manner. It's just that I wronged you, and I will be a manager in the house all my life. ”

"Don't say that, sir, I'm happy to do that. I have lived a full and happy life with you, and the people of the whole Hou Kingdom respect you, so they are very good to me. The little masters in the house never treat me as an outsider, and this is my home. ”

"Alas! You are a person who values love and righteousness, and I like your son Lin Zhi very much. I don't have to worry about handing over the Zhang family to you, but there is no banquet in life, and I am about to leave you. Death is fate, and no one can escape it. I have fought all over the world all my life, large and small, and as a spiritual priest, I should be content to live to be over eighty years old. But I don't have to worry about being alone, if this matter is not arranged, I won't be able to sleep well even when I get to the Yama Palace. ”

"Father, but you're worried about Lingwu?"

"Lingwu is only a little over ten years old now, I thought I could take him for another five or six years, and by then he has grown up, has the ability, and has a foundation in the Hou Kingdom. I didn't expect that the brute beast invasion would happen now, and no one knew what would happen after this battle. Even if it goes well, three or four years have passed, and I guess I'm gone, so I have to make some arrangements for him now. If something happens to Lingwu, how can I be worthy of your sister? My Zhang family can't go far without him, and the Hou country has a bad future without him. ”

"Father-in-law, please"

"Please arrange it with the master, and we will do it."

"In the future, the affairs of my Zhang family will be managed by the two brothers, Rulong and Rufeng. Lin Yun and Qing Song, you will help Lingwu in the future, Lin Yun, you have to lead the rear army now, let Lin Zhi follow Lingwu to give advice first, Qingsong, you will select some people in my guard to protect Lingwu's safety. I want you to follow Lingwu as you follow me, are you willing? ”

"Master, I, Wei Qingsong, have followed you for decades, and I am really reluctant to leave you. But I absolutely obey your orders, I will follow Lingwu for the rest of my life, master, don't worry, as long as I am here, Lingwu will be safe. ”

"I, Lin Yun, swear to the sky, I will definitely follow the arrangement of the adults, and if there is a violation of the sky, there will be thunder. Lin Zhi quickly saluted the young master. ”

"Lin Zhi has seen the young master, I am willing to follow the master for the rest of my life, and I will never give up" Lin Zhi pounced and knelt down on one leg in front of Lingwu and saluted. Lingwu, who was panicked, hurriedly reached out and helped him up.

"In this way, Lingwu will be assisted by people in both civil and military affairs, and I will be relieved. Rulong, you have to be careful this time, this time the war is different from the past, you can't do it brutely. Report more to Master Hou, don't make your own decisions, I'm just worried about you, a pioneer. You, you are more than brave, but you are not resourceful, and I am afraid that you will suffer. Fighting with brute beasts is different from fighting with people, they don't talk about strategy, they just rush up, so capturing the thief and capturing the king first can minimize the casualties of their own side. Reconnaissance should be especially strengthened to prevent being surrounded by those monsters. Hou Ye was surrounded thirty years ago, and it took a few months to break the siege, and there were heavy casualties. Especially the red-haired barbarian, his strength and speed are very amazing, and even Hou Ye is difficult to kill him. I've always wondered: how did these barbarians come about? They are simple-minded, how can they have such a high combat effectiveness? Although you are a pioneer this time, you should not rush forward alone, you must keep a close distance with the Chinese army, if it goes well, you will clear the way for the Chinese army, and if there is an abnormal situation, you will shorten the distance with the Chinese army and advance and retreat together. ”

"The child has written it down, and you can rest assured, father."

"Lingwu, you will come to me tomorrow, and I will teach you something in the time. Don't worry about your preparations, let Lin Zhi and Qingsong do it. That's all for today, it's too late, let's all rest. ”
