Chapter 178: The Past (7)
Dongfang Hao said: "You asked this question very correctly, I couldn't understand Ning Yiwu's thoughts at the time, I also scolded him for being foolish and loyal, and I also said a lot of big truths in front of him, but now that I think about it, I look a little young and superficial." β
Dongfang Xue smiled slightly: "What kind of big truth did my father say in front of Ning Yiwu's predecessors?
Dongfang Hao laughed loudly, "I told him that the decaying empire will eventually be replaced by the Qingming empire, this is the eternal truth, his approach is ignorant! I didn't understand his approach at the time, because I couldn't get used to this credit that originally belonged to him, but was embezzled by those two bastards and corrupt officials, and those two bastards who filled their own pockets were finally promoted because of the merits that did not belong to them, and showed off their power everywhere, I was very angry, so I let him and I work together to do those two corrupt officials!" At that time, I thought that he was too cowardly, and as the son of a generalissimo of soldiers and horses, it was really a sign of heroism to do things like this!"
Dongfang Xue said: "But this must not be the case, Ning Yiwu's predecessor is definitely not a pedantic person, he must have his own unique reason for doing this, and he is by no means looking ahead and backward." β
Dongfang Hao said: "That's right, he was also young at the time, and when he saw me like this, he said the worries in his heart, he said that it was not that he was stupid and loyal, but that he would not let the Heavenly Civilization be destroyed in the hands of aliens!"
Dongfang Xue said: "Why?"
Dongfang Hao said: "This reason is very simple, at that time, the imperial family and his father were always full of contradictions with each other due to the relationship of military power! At that time, I also persuaded him to overthrow the rotten empire together, either set up another king, or become the emperor himself! However, he didn't think so, he also understood that the empire was rotten, but if he did it at that time, the imperial family and the Ning family would only lose both, and the final outcome would only allow the alien race to succeed, and when the time came, he would not only not be a hero, but also become a sinner for the ages! β
Dongfang Xue then somewhat understood Ning Yiwu's hardships back then, "So that's the case, he must be very depressed in his heart, if he chooses to overthrow the "Star Moon Empire" at that time, the final outcome may really be what he expected, so Ning Yiwu's predecessors don't dare to bet, if it is blocked, it will be the complete destruction of civilization, and those alien races will definitely invade my Heavenly Domain in order to cultivate the power of the martial realm, and it is hard to imagine what the consequences will be!"
Dongfang Hao nodded and said: "That's right, when he finished explaining these words, I suddenly realized, I really admired him in my heart, your father and I can have such an achievement today, and his words back then have a lot to do with him, because he told me a truth, low-key is always wiser than high-profile, whether it is doing things or being a person, especially living in such a troubled world." β
Dongfang Xue said: "So that's the case, no wonder my father has always been very low-key, but he is meticulous in doing things, so what happened later?"
Dongfang Hao said: "In addition to this one reason, he is low-key, and he doesn't want to be famous because of this, at that time, I couldn't understand his words, but now, I have to admire his wisdom when he was young! Think about it, if he declared to the outside world at that time that it was he Ning Yiwu who caught this big trouble, then the imperial family was even more jealous of the Ning family!" But on the other hand, he has a heroic spirit flowing in him, of course he doesn't want the empire he lives in to be in such a mess, so he tried his best to weigh the imperial family and the Ning family as much as possible, and did his best to weigh the relationship between the upper echelons of the empire and the lower echelons of the empire, but in the end, the "Star and Moon Empire" still perished because of internal and external troubles, but fortunately, those alien races at that time were also in internal strife for many unknown reasons, so that the alien races did not have the opportunity to invade my Heavenly Domain and destroy my Heavenly Domain culture!"
Dongfang Xue suddenly realized at this time, and said: "Really wise! I think a hero with an aristocratic plot like Ning Yiwu's predecessors must not want to see his empire in such a mess, so he didn't sit idly by because the empire was mediocre!"
Dongfang Hao said: "That's right, Ning Yiwu was a person who said less and did more when he was young, if it was me at that time, seeing that empire so rotten, I would definitely not stabilize the empire's edifice by anonymously arresting high-level criminals of the empire like him, I would definitely ignore it, but Ning Yiwu said a word to me, which changed my perception of the empire!"
Dongfang Xue instantly became puzzled, "Oh, what kind of sentence made my father change his original mind?"
Dongfang Hao said: "He said that although the empire is mediocre, the culture of the Heavenly Domain is still there, and he does all this not for the empire, but for the immortality of civilization! Sooner or later, it will collapse, but he still has to do those things that uphold justice, the laws of the empire also have justice in a certain sense, what he has to do is to maintain these justices, for example, the human trafficker who travels between the empire and other races, I still can't understand it at the time, maybe many young people can't understand this, but I can understand it now!"
Dongfang Xue said: "I can also understand. β
Dongfang Hao said: "And he does these things very tactfully, if he wants to arrest that kind of bastard, it is not something that can be done just by relying on his blood! Think about it, the leader of that kind of mercenary group can easily shuttle back and forth between the empire and other races, and he has not been caught by the empire for more than ten years, but Ning Yiwu brought him to justice as soon as he came, is this kind of ability something that those upright men can do?"
Dongfang Xue's gaze became longing, "Senior Ning Yiwu is really powerful!, Father, your description is not quite right, this should be described as resourceful, how can you describe Senior Ning Yiwu as sleek?"
Dongfang Hao laughed loudly, "Anyway, that's what it means, your father and I only started to learn to read when I was twenty years old, where can I be so comprehensive, I didn't even know the empire at that time, who brought him to justice for such an empire's henchman!"
Dongfang Xue was even more surprised, "Oh, could it be that Ning Yiwu's predecessors didn't ask the empire for merit and rewards at all?
Dongfang Hao shook his head and said, " No, after Ning Yiwu spent a year arresting this guy, he still lived a life of cultivating martial arts, studying at the same time, and eating flatbread, at that time his friends in the upper echelons of the empire were only the current Zhuge Long, and the other children of Liang felt that he was a dignified generalissimo actually eating baked cakes, which was simply an insult to the aristocratic temperament, and he did not associate with him at all, but Ning Yiwu still went his own way, and disdained the sarcasm of those people at all, and even a few times when I had dinner with him, some of the children of Anointed Liang who were bought wanted to force Ning Yiwu to commit rebellion through various methods, and even humiliated Ning Yiwu in publicγ β
Hearing this, Dongfang Xue became even more interested in the legendary century of Ning Yiwu's predecessors, "Is there such a thing?"
Dongfang Hao continued: "That's right, I remember the plot very well at that time, at that time, he felt that I was worth making friends, so he wanted me to get in touch with the upper class The most luxurious premium hotel, I remember very well at that time, there was a child of Anointing Liang who was bribed by someone to humiliate Ning Yiwu in public, the purpose was to arouse his dissatisfaction with the empire, and then use Ning Yiwu's anger to achieve their goals! Later, I inquired and found out that the child of Anointing Liang was actually bought by a foreigner, and the matter was really as Ning Yiwu said before, at that time, the alien race was very expected that the Ning family and the imperial family would interact and fight!"
Dongfang Xue said: "But Senior Ning Yiwu held back!"
Dongfang Hao said: "That's right, at that time, Ning Yiwu inserted his fingers into his palm, because that bastard actually said that his mother had passed away, how could he not be angry in his heart?
Dongfang Xue said: "I heard that Ning Yiwu's predecessor's mother died very miserably, and I don't want to inquire about the sadness in Ning Yiwu's senior's heart here, so my father should tell me what happened next!"
Dongfang Hao said: "How did his mother die, of course I don't dare to ask more, after all, that should be the most sad thing in his heart! The child of Anointing Liang who was used was later cleaned up by Ning Yiwu, but that was a few years later! Compared to these, I would like to talk about how I and your Uncle Ning Yiwu were arrested by arresting that trafficker!"
Dongfang Xue nodded and said, "Well, it's okay! After all, listening to the glorious deeds of heroes is far more exciting than listening to the grief of heroes." β
"At that time, within a month of my first acquaintance with your senior Ning Yiwu, I wanted to assassinate that leader again and again!"
"Then what happened later?" Dongfang Xue became more and more curious, she didn't expect that her father and Ning Yiwu's senior, whom she had always respected, would have such a deep intersection.
Dongfang Hao said: "Later, your Uncle Ning Yiwu said a lot of words, let me temporarily calm down the hatred, he said that the gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, the current thing to do is to understand the operation law and internal contradictions of this mercenary group, and find loopholes in the operation law, I didn't understand the meaning of Ning Yiwu at the time! I am revengeful, where can I wait for ten years!" At that time, I was bent on fighting that guy to the death, and I had been deceived by strangers several times because of my youth and ignorance, so I was naturally disheartened by strangers, and I didn't believe that outsiders who were not related to me and your aunt could help!
