This unique welcome ceremony changed Ning Xiaochuan's impression of Shanzhou, and made him understand that Shanzhou is not all dark and terrifying, and there is also a splendid world here.

After the welcome ceremony, everyone came to Baili Yeming, and after Baili Chongxiao's introduction, Ning Xiaochuan and they knew that the man with tears in his eyes in front of them was the master of Dongyue Wumen, that is, Baili Chongxiao's father, Baili Yeming.

After some greetings, Baili Ye Ming's eyes converged on Shenxiao Bixue behind everyone, as well as Pei Yu beside Shenxiao Bixue.

Baili Ye Ming bowed to Pei Yu, "Master Pei Yu, please allow me to thank you for coming on behalf of the entire Dongyue Witch Sect. ”

"Do you know who I am?" Pei Yu looked at Baili Yeming in surprise.

"My father mentioned you before he died." Baili Yeming said slowly, but the Pei Yu in front of him was a little different from what he imagined, and before his father died, he told him that Pei Yu was a son of the Central Plains who was not good at words and behaved elegantly and dignified.

Now that so many years have passed, even martial artists will age with time, but Pei Yu in front of him is still a young man, and if he looks closely, he even feels almost as big as a hundred miles of heavy sky.

"The old man has passed away, the past is with the wind, and there is no need to mention the past again, and mentioning it will only increase the sadness." Pei Yu said with emotion.

Even Pei Yu would feel sad about the death of the deceased, looking at the loss in the corner of Pei Yu's eyes, Ning Xiaochuan began to wonder what kind of person Baili Luoyun was, which could make Pei Yu show a rare sadness.

"A few distinguished guests from the Central Plains, please come inside." Baili Yeming said respectfully.

A group of people walked into the Dongyue Wumen, the waterfall sounded in the ears, the main village of the Dongyue Wumen in front of them is a bit like a village and town, the streets in the village are straight and spacious, the vendors on both sides are shouting loudly, the goods on the shop are everything, walking on the stone road of the village, after a while, I heard the children's laughter and the anxious shouts of the adults at home.

In the twilight, countless blue spars rose from the main city of Wumen in Dongyue, and the blue light emitted by these spars enveloped the entire village, gentle and gentle.

Pei Yu walked in the stockade with a fan, looked at the blood of the gods behind him, and his eyes flashed with a meaningful meaning.

Baili Yeming's residence is located at the highest point of the entire Dongyue Wumen, surrounded by puppets guarding and heavily guarded, and the scene inside is completely different from the outside.

Coming to the reception hall, Baili Yeming took the first seat, and after Ning Xiaochuan and others sat down, they also said what they were doing when they came to Dongyue Wumen.

After listening to Ning Xiaochuan talk about Liao Chongyun, the divine doctor of the Central Plains, Baili Yeming's thoughts were solemn, "That Central Plains person is really weird, running around in the village every day, carrying a wooden box and not knowing what he is doing.

However, I can see that this person has some ability, and I wanted to ask him to stay in Dongyue Wumen at that time, but he rejected me with the words "Xianyun Yehe", and not long after, he left here. ”

"Master, do you know where he went after he left?" Ning Xiaochuan asked.

Baili Yeming thought for a while and said, "After leaving the Dongyue Wumen, I only saw him carrying the wooden box to the northwest. ”

"Northwest, there is Jiaozhou......" Kong Zhenxuan said thoughtfully.

After hearing that the divine doctor Liao Chongyun was not in Dongyue Wumen, Shenli's originally excited eyes became gloomy again, and his expression was full of disappointment.

Yu Xining gently pulled up Shenli's arm and said with relief, "It's okay, at least there is news of the miracle doctor now, as long as he is still in Dafeng, we will definitely be able to find him." ”

Seeing that it was almost midnight, Baili Yeming didn't say anything more, so he asked Baili Chongxiao to take Ning Xiaochuan and the others down to rest.

……

In the middle of the night, Ning Xiaochuan got up from the bed and came to the bedside, feeling the cool breeze in the mountains and this rare relaxation.

"I can't sleep." Kong Zhenxuan walked to Ning Yan's side, stroked his beard, and said softly.

"There is a point, along the way, after going through so much, I always feel as if I have a mountain on my back, but when you stop and want to unload this mountain, the mountain seems to be gone, and so on, the more you walk this mountain, the heavier the people will be." Ning Xiaochuan said slowly.

Kong Zhenxuan was silent for a long time, as if thinking about something, and Shaoqing said, "Do you remember why we left Yindu at that time?" ”

"The eldest prince and the second prince are fighting endlessly, and in order to stay away from the royal strife and protect the Ning family, they have to design to leave Yindu." Ning Xiaochuan sighed.

"In fact, from the day you left Yindu, you have been burdened with a mountain called responsibility, the responsibility to the Ning family, and the responsibility to Dafeng." Kong Zhenxuan said slowly.

After walking the rivers and lakes for half his life, there are some things that he has seen more thoroughly than Ning Xiaochuan, "What do you think of Dafeng today?" ”

"When I was in Yindu, I felt that Dafeng simply felt that our Ning family was highly meritorious and wary of us; What I have seen and heard over the past year or so has shown me the incompetence and powerlessness of Daebong. Today's Dabong can be said to be full of holes under the golden and brilliant coat. Ning Xiaochuan said with emotion.

Kong Zhenxuan looked up at the moon in the sky and said, "But you didn't choose to flee, but chose to stay, just like Zhang Xianren said, the future Dafeng may need you to change, this is your responsibility, this responsibility stems from your own deep love for this country." ”

"This is the country that my father devoted his life to!" Ning Xiaochuan said in a deep voice.

After hearing these words, Kong Zhenxuan sighed slightly, "Don't think about it anymore, we will go back one day, General Ning is still waiting for us." ”

"Yes." Ning Xiaochuan breathed a long sigh of relief, it was in vain to think too much now, hoping that when he set foot on Yin Capital again, Yin Du would have a new face.

……

With the sound of cicadas, the time came to July, which was the height of summer, and more and more vendors were selling ice cubes and herbal tea on the streets of Yindu, but for Guan Yun'er, this summer was not good.

Yindu, Prime Minister's Mansion.

Guan Zhongxian's body is not as good as day by day, Guan Zhongxian at this time is lying on the bed, every time he breathes, his face is pale and bloodless, Guan Zhongxian at this moment is like the last sunset in the evening, about to lose the sun.

Guan Zhongxian's room was full of the smell of medicine, Guan Yun'er's eyes were already bloodshot, and her body was not as good as day by day in the past six months, Ning Feng stood beside Guan Yun'er, looking at his wife with some distress, only to see him gently take the towel in his wife's hand, and said distressedly, "I'll come." ”

Guan Yun'er endured the thunder and retreated, Ning Feng gently helped Guan Zhongxian up, and at this time, Guan Zhongxian's back had already ulcerated.

Ning Feng was shocked in his heart, if it was known that the back of a generation of Chengxian Zhongxian was festering at this time and he couldn't take care of himself, it would be a big blow to Guan Zhongxian, who had always valued his reputation.

If Guan Zhongxian was sober at this time, he shouldn't be able to stand his undignified appearance now.

Guan Zhongxian opened his eyes in a daze, and a snoring sound came out of his throat, "Yun'er......"

Ning Feng carefully put his ear close to Guan Zhongxian's ear and asked softly, "What did you say?" ”

"Yun'er......" Guan Zhongxian looked at Guan Yun'er not far away, and the corners of his eyes were full of tears.

Ning Feng looked at Guan Yun'er and beckoned to her, "Come here." ”

Guan Yun'er turned around to wipe away her tears, tried her best to pretend to be happy and walked in front of Guan Zhongxian, knelt carefully in front of Guan Zhongxian, and said with a smile, "Dad......"

Guan Zhongxian stretched out his hand that was dry and trembling like tree bark, Guan Yun'er hurriedly held the old father's hand, tears crossed the corners of his eyes again, Ning Feng turned his back, and couldn't bear to look at it again.

"I ...... After I'm gone, and...... Live a good life with Feng'er...... Don't be in the ...... later Thinking about ...... Guan Jia...... "Guan Zhongxian used almost all his strength to say these words, and when these words were spoken, Guan Yun'er felt very uncomfortable when he heard them.

For so many years, she has indeed neglected this old father, and every time she willfully says that she is the Ning family in front of him, but in her heart, the Guan family is equally important.

"Daddy...... I don't want ...... No! Guan Yun'er's tears welled up instantly, and she kept shaking her head.

Guan Zhongxian looked at Guan Yun'er, his eyes were full of reluctance, he was reluctant to give up his baby daughter, reluctant to this family, and reluctant to be blessed.

"Yun'er, Yun'er, don't ...... like this" Ning Feng choked up and looked at Guan Yun'er.

For Ning Feng, his father-in-law Guan Zhongxian is not only his father-in-law, but also his mentor.

If it weren't for Guan Zhongxian's instructions, he really wouldn't have had the courage to make the decision to travel to the eighteen states of Dafeng, in Guan Zhongxian's words:

To be a real humeral minister first, you must not only know yourself, but also the country!

Different from his father's loyalty, Guan Zhongxian's loyalty to Dafeng is more manifested in the people and the country, "the people are noble and the monarch is light" These four words are the summary of Guan Zhongxian's political thoughts, he is the only prime minister who makes the emperor jealous and dare not remove, and at the same time it is the existence that makes the court ministers love and hate.

Gao Zhen once said that Guan Zhongxian is not dead, the Gongsun family does not dare to rebel, and the Qin family does not dare to mess up!

Guan Zhongxian loosened Yun'er's hand, carefully wiped the tears from the corners of his daughter's eyes, and then said in a deep voice, "Feng'er." I...... I have something to say separately...... Tell you. ”

The voice was not small, and after Guan Yun'er heard it, she retreated behind the screen on the side very sensibly, and hid there and kept wiping her tears.

A breeze blew, blowing out one of the three lamps at the head of Guan Zhongxian's bed, and white green smoke rose with the wind.

Guan Zhongxian looked at the extinguished candle flame and sighed in his heart, is this his final ending?

If God could let him live for another twenty years, he would definitely be able to change the current Dafeng, but alas, this is only if......
