Yu Mozhen was stunned for a moment, and before he could speak, Yan Zheng said on the side, "What you said is really old-fashioned." As he spoke, he lifted his forehead, "Speaking of which, the old stubborn man in my family has somehow changed his character in the past two years, and he said exactly the same thing as you, lest I don't know that he has good intentions." It makes me have a headache when I hear this sentence now. ”

Yuan Ping sighed, "No matter how stubborn the Zhongshu Ling is, after so many years, you still respect your own ideas." ”

Yu Moji shrugged his shoulders slightly. She knew that Yan Zheng had an excellent background. But precisely because Yan Zheng's background is known to everyone, there is no one in the cardinal who mentions such common sense things. Since no one mentioned it, Yu Moji didn't pay much attention to it, and she only knew at this time that Yan Zheng's father's official position had reached this level at some point.

However, in order to avoid suspicion, Ling Ai could not marry the officials of the household department; Yan Zheng has such a father who is a very human minister, and he himself is so outstanding, I am afraid that he will be suppressed a lot in the future as a general.

Yu Moji couldn't help but move his blurred gaze in the direction of Yan Zheng. After all, he grew up surrounded by nobles and powerful ministers in the imperial capital, how could he not understand this? However, Yan Zheng's almost single-minded spirit has never weakened by half a point.

"My father can't do anything about me." When Yu Moji came over, Yan Zheng had already put down his two restless long legs, but at this moment, he raised his stilts to the short table quite indifferently, "In the early years, I couldn't wait to drag me to do a clerical job every day." But now he probably understands that nothing will work. Anyway, the country has its own group of sour Confucians, and what really belongs to me is still to fight on the battlefield. ”

"I heard Lord Zhongshu Ling say that he is willing to let go now because since you entered the Cardinal, not only have you won many military exploits, but you have not suffered any damage yourself, and the fame of the God of War has spread to Zhongshu Province." Yuan Pingzhi said with a smile, "Your family doesn't need a general, but there is no shortage of Wenchen." Parents are just praying for the peace of their children. ”

Yu Moji said in his heart, that may not be.

When she was a child, she was almost beaten to death by her own father several times. Yu Mochen originally thought that her father's tyrannical nature might be attributed to the helplessness and disappointment of not being able to control his life, the long-term oppression of Qi people, and the bad habits passed down by the ancestors of Tusu men. But as she grew up, she slowly understood that this was not the case.

Everyone is born with many last resorts, the poor have the suffering of the poor, and the children of the rich and noble are not free.

But she was also in the midst of many shackles, Mrs. Ling was paranoid and cruel, and she didn't even care about her daughter's life; Ling Ai, a smart girl like Bingxue, must see the results of her decisions clearly, but she chose a path to dedicate her whole life to her loved ones.

It is not uncommon for people to suffer misfortunes, and Yu Moji has seen more and more sloppy gangsters, and heard countless complaints about the injustice of fate; But after encountering the great disaster of losing his youth, Yuan has grown into such a calm and proper man as he is now, and he has never resented anyone; Having been imprisoned for displacement, Aman could also exchange one death for the safety of the rest of the captives.

The fate of the ill-fated is difficult in all its ways, but it never deprives people of their right to make choices. The ultimate growth of a person's mind depends largely on oneself.

Yu Moji did not agree with Yuan Jianzhi's judgment about parents and children, but he understood the understanding and hope in Yuan Jianzhi's words. Yuan Yizhi's views on all kinds of world conditions are always much clearer and more profound than hers, but the choice he made is still so determined to fulfill the various duties he wants to accomplish - whether it is as a general of the Great Qi Empire or the lover of the daughter of a traitor on a ship.

Yu Mochen suddenly felt her heart move—her incomprehension and resentment about Ling Ai's life dissipated.

Her heart was relieved, and her eyes seemed to be much clearer. She didn't mix in the slight gossip between Yuan Pingzhi and Yan Zheng with the smell of gunpowder, she just leaned lightly against the window, looking at the vast and open world outside the window with a chaotic and unknown vision.

Yan Zheng noticed her movements, turned his head, and said strangely, "Aren't you seeing clearly?" ”

"It doesn't matter." Yu Mozhen smiled. Even though she couldn't see the details clearly, she could also distinguish the long blue sky above her head and the layers of green under her feet - this must have reached the southern boundary of the Great Qi Empire, the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the vast land under the pan-sun kite is still full of vitality. She was overjoyed by the generous greenery, and said, "At this height, even those of you with good eyesight, except for the vast world, I am afraid it will be difficult to see the rest of the small points clearly." ”

Yuan Zhizhi said, "Not necessarily." In fact, if you have a good eye, you can see many more interesting things. He raised his hand and pointed to a place below the pan-sun kite, and said with a smile, "For example, this one, the color is quite different from the surroundings, and the shape is much more neat, it must be farmland; There are formed lines in the vicinity to divide the mountains and forests, indicating that there are many people active here; At the intersection of the roads ahead, there should be a market or something like this area......"

Yu Moji couldn't help but admire. When she first rode the Pan-Sun Kite, she also had a pair of curious eyes open, carefully observing the smaller and smaller things under the Pan-Sun Kite, but she did not explain it so clearly with a finger like Yuan Yizhi.

"Don't make a fuss about the ink marks," Yan Zheng's tone was a little unconvinced, "I'm afraid that the number of times I have ridden the Pan-Sun Kite is more than ten times more than yours." Besides, I'm afraid you have forgotten, how many customs pictures did he paint? How many favorites have you seen? If you don't have this experience, wouldn't it be in vain for the majority of imperial capital girls to pursue it. ”

"Indeed." Yuan Zhizhi frankly admitted, "Everyone has their own strengths. If it's in the design of the armor, I'm afraid that even I can't compare to Xiaoyu now. ”

Yu Moji hurriedly waved his hand, blushing and refusing to accept Yuan Zhizhi's praise. However, the three of them chatted all the way, laughing and laughing, and the more they talked, the more interested they became, and Yan Zheng's original strange look was gradually thrown out of the clouds.

When the mood is good, time always flies. Before you know it, it's getting dark. According to what Yuan said earlier, the pan-sun kite had already flown over the mourning. The Pan-Sun Kite was fully equipped, and the gas lamps had been lit, Yuan Pingzhi was pulling Heng'er over together, smiling and telling them about the various new technologies used on the Pan-Sun Kite, and suddenly his expression was dazed, and he said, "There seems to be something wrong ahead." ”

Yu Moji originally listened to it with relish, but when she heard Yuan Pingzhi suddenly change the topic, she hurriedly raised her eyes and wanted to look over, but she was still at a loss in front of her, and she couldn't see anything clearly; Yan Zheng's eyes were much more convenient, he dimmed the gas lamp around him, and with a little probe, he quickly found the place that Yuan Pingzhi said, "Indeed." As you said earlier, this is clearly a sparsely populated area. But what about the human figure on the hill ahead? ”

Yu Mojin was startled, "At this height, you shouldn't be able to see people, right?" ”

Although she couldn't see it clearly, she also listened to Yuan Zhizhi, and now the pan-sun kite not only flies faster, but also has a much higher altitude in the air than before. One of the advantages of this is that you can avoid the mountains as much as possible, and you don't have to spend a thousand years of gold to make a detour like before; There will be no more collisions with birds, and there will be no more accidents where birds get involved in the mecha box and are so tired that the pan-sun kite falls to their death. But in the same way, judging the condition of the ground at such a high altitude has become an even more difficult matter. In this dark night, I am afraid that only the starlight above the head can be used for illumination, and at this time, let alone seeing a human figure clearly, even a light analysis like Yuan Zhizhi's previous one would require considerable experience.

"That's a good point." Yan Zheng said in a deep voice, "That should be a humanoid stone sculpture." It's just a little too detailed, and it's just lifelike. In terms of height, I am afraid that there are nearly 100 people tall. ”

Yu Moji couldn't help but hold his forehead, and his heart said that this person's eyesight can be really vicious. Even when her eyes are good, she probably can't see so clearly at night.

Yan Zheng caught a glimpse of her expression and said, "There is also a gas lamp installed in front of the Pan Sun Kite, and the brightness is much better than before...... Well, we've skimmed it. He beckoned to a general, "Speak to the soldier in the cabin in front of you, turn the gas lamp in a different direction, and then turn around the statue." ”

Yu Moji: "......" She hadn't heard that the lighting of the Pan-Sun Kite had improved so well even during night flights.

"It's a statue of a Xuannu." Yuan Pingzhi's voice revealed a little seriousness, but he smiled again, "Xiaoyu, do you remember the old stone statue you mourned? If it is carved more finely, it must be similar to this appearance. ”

Yu Moji didn't have time to take his joke. As soon as he heard that this stone statue was actually something taught by the Xuannu, Yu Moji's whole body was stunned, and he said, "Didn't the sergeant who came to this area to explore before report this matter?" ”

Yuan Pingzhi shook his head and said, "No." After all, the sergeants took the land route. There are many mountains in the southwest, and their field of vision is limited, and even if the statue is located quite high, the sergeants may not be able to see it. ”

Yu Moji said again, "Haven't you sent a pan-sun kite before?" According to you, General, it should have been easier to detect this stone statue if it flew at a lower altitude in the past. ”

"Half a year ago, before I went to the Jiayuan River, I came to this area on a pan-sun kite." What Yuan Pingzhi said was not good news, but his tone was still as calm and calm as usual, "I didn't see this stone statue at that time. ”

Yu Mojin said strangely, "Not to mention the remote location of this place - to build such a stone statue, even if there is a support from Yanji, it will take a lot of manpower and time. Where did the Xuannu Sect come from? ”

"Don't underestimate manpower. But in this way, they must have a thousand years of gold in their hands. Yuan Pingzhi paused for a moment, and then said, "Actually, what I'm more interested in is, what are they building such a stone statue for?" Could it be that the incense of the Xuannu Temple is not enough, so do you have to cultivate such a great god to suppress the believers? ”
