Chapter 177: The Past (6)
Things are getting more and more interesting, the reason why Dongfang Xue is curious about these is not only because she admires the youthful demeanor of Ning Yiwu's predecessors, but on the other hand, she also wants to learn a little heroic demeanor and temperament from them.
The reason why young people admire heroes is because they also have a latent heroic temperament, and even if they finally know that they can't become heroes, the admiration in their hearts cannot be quelled.
There is no such plot of the nation, finally
In the martial world, the more excellent the nation, the more they worship the perfect king, hero, swordsman, and so on.
There is no religious worship in the heavenly region, compared to religious worship, they trust hero worship more, it is precisely because of this hero worship, ancient worship, emperor worship, saint worship, etc., that this heavenly culture has been immortal for thousands of years, even when it comes to the most crisis, there will always be some young people who choose to become the backbone of civilization, this is the soul of the nation.
Naturally, the Heavenly Domain also has such a national soul, and religious worship can never compare to the worship of saints.
Yesterday, Ning Yiwu's predecessor's impromptu speech like a rushing river could not be dispersed in her heart for a long time, especially the sentence, "This is not only the stage of my Ning family, he also belongs to the stage of your young people!"
People who can say such a sentence must be unusual, because this sentence is very flavorful, on the one hand, it does not lose the majesty and demeanor of the Ning family, and on the other hand, under such a premise, it also makes these challengers feel comfortable and convincing, and it sounds very comfortable.
And she still has a big question in her heart, that is, since her father and Ning Yiwu's predecessors have such a sincere friendship, what is the reason why they parted ways with each other in the end?
That Xuanwu senior of the Divine Sword Sect often exchanged letters with his father, what kind of relationship was there between them?
Why did that Xuanwu senior choose to follow Ning Yiwu's predecessor all the time, while his father finally chose to leave Ning Yiwu?
What's going on with all this?
The vicissitudes of the empire forty years ago were far more legendary than she had anticipated.
Young people are always curious about glorious legends, and Oriental Snow is no exception.
"A hero who can say such a sentence full of art must have been great when he was young! Pity me for being a woman, this is another era of war, otherwise, I can also wander the world at the age of fifteen!" Recalling the past things that Fang Cai's father said, Dongfang Xue said to herself.
After some self-talk, she turned her head and continued to face her father, "What about then? What happened to that bastard?"
Dongfang Hao remembered the ups and downs he had experienced with Ning Yiwu back then, laughed proudly, and then turned his face to look at Dongfang Hao, "Hahaha, are you so curious about the legend of your Ning Yiwu's predecessors?"
Dongfang Xue said: "Father, you said that if the young people of a nation do not have a hero worship plot, there is no hope for this nation, what is wrong with me knowing more? What's wrong with my father already planning to cooperate with Ning Yiwu's seniors?"
Dongfang Hao saw that this girl was so sensible, and nodded with a smile on his face, "The past is still so interesting in retrospect! Okay, if you want to know a little more, then I'll tell you a little more, father." ”
Before Dongfang Hao could finish speaking, Dongfang Xue couldn't help but hurriedly urge: "Then continue the previous story!"
Dongfang Hao said: "After that guy was caught at that time, until this guy was finally executed by heavenly punishment, he didn't know Ning Yiwu's true identity, and he thought that Ning Yiwu betrayed him because of the bounty on the imperial wanted warrant!"
Dongfang Xue said: "Oh? Ning Yiwu's predecessors have never revealed his true identity? This is incomprehensible! It stands to reason that his father is the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, and if he has made contributions to the empire, he should publicize it! In this way, the descendants of the upper echelons of the empire will learn more like Ning Yiwu!"
Dongfang Hao heard his daughter say such innocent words, and he really didn't know what words to use to describe this girl, saying that she was ignorant and ignorant, but this girl was many times tougher than ordinary women, but if she was wise, it would be overestimated.
Dongfang Hao shook his head, "If things are really as simple as you girl thinks, the "Star Moon Empire" will not perish back then!"
Dongfang Xue's mind suddenly flashed with a flash of inspiration, "Could it be that there are still unknown secrets in this?"
Dongfang Hao nodded and said, "That's right, I also thought it was incredible at the time, I think he may have been low-key when he was young and didn't like fame, so he didn't report his name!"
Dongfang Xue said: "It is really rare for a low-key family disciple like him to be, most of the children of the upper echelons of the empire are eager to tell their own credit to the empire! But my intuition tells me that things can never be so simple, there must be other unknown truths behind this!"
Dongfang Hao said: "Hahaha, there is really a certain truth to the matter! At that time, the empire's bounty for that guy was very high, and these bounties should have been deserved by Ning Yiwu, but they were swallowed by those corrupt officials, and I couldn't be angry! So, I asked him, Ning Yiwu, why don't you tell your true identity, you are the son of the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, and it was just a matter of raising his hands to catch these guys who were full of selfishness, at that time, he just smiled slightly, continued to practice his sword, and did not answer me immediately! After I asked him repeatedly, he was asked by me that there was no way, so I told me the reason why he did this, and after I listened to this reason, I realized that he was not low-key, but wise!"
"Wise?" Dongfang Xue became more and more curious, there are not many people in this world who can be praised as heroes by their father, except for Ning Yiwu, there is only Zhao Dinglong.
Dongfang Hao touched the tips of Dongfang Xue's hair lovingly, and continued: "He said that if he told the upper echelons of the empire, not only would he not be rewarded and praised, but it would also cause great inconvenience to his father, and he would also attract the suspicion of those upper echelons of the empire!
Dongfang Xue said: "Why? Isn't this a meritorious service for the establishment of the empire? How can this be?"
Dongfang Hao said: "This is the struggle for power, in the face of the struggle for power, many things are so incredible, in fact, the words are clear, and it is very easy to understand! At that time, I was also the same as you, after listening to his answer, I also felt at a loss, I asked him why? He said that his father originally held the military power and held the lifeblood of the empire, if he was still outside to do chivalrous righteousness and win the hearts of the people, his father was in charge of the empire, and outside the empire there was him who was brave and martial arts, then the consequences can be imagined! ”
After listening to this short explanation, Dongfang Hao roughly had a deeper understanding of the darkness of the empire at that time, sighed, and said: "If the mediocre emperor doesn't even understand this truth, just give up his seat, no wonder the "Star and Moon Empire" is going to perish!"
For his daughter's righteous indignation, Dongfang Hao behaved extremely calmly, "Things are not as simple as you imagined, the situation at that time was very complicated, there were strong enemies of foreign races outside, and there were family conflicts inside, especially those foreign races who were ready to move, and planned to take advantage of the chaos in my heavenly domain to invade on a large scale!"
Before Dongfang Hao finished speaking, Dongfang Xue suddenly took the right to speak, and said: "So, for the sake of the overall situation, Ning Yiwu's predecessor would rather give up this benefit that should have belonged to him to two corrupt officials?
Dongfang Hao was overjoyed that his daughter was so smart, "You girl is so smart, you can do it at once, that's right, the situation at that time was like this, the mediocre and incompetent emperor was already jealous of the Ning family, Ning Yiwu's father has been cautious in order to ease the relationship with the imperial family, Ning Yiwu, as the only heir of the Ning family, naturally has to follow his father's will, so he never left his real name in the layman!" At that time, he was also saddened by the mediocrity of the imperial family, and he also wanted to carry out a coup d'état, but in the end he resisted!"
Dongfang Xue said: "A hero like him must be unwilling to serve the mediocre empire!"
Dongfang Hao said: "At that time, the alien race was ready to move, he knew very well that if there was a palace coup, these external strong enemies would definitely invade the heavenly region on a large scale, a thousand years ago it was because of the palace coup d'état again and again, which led to the destruction of a thousand years of "ancient empire" culture, those barbarians they were born to hate culture, everywhere they went, like grasshoppers in autumn, the civilization was eaten away, these barbarians have only one purpose, that is, to kill our people to cultivate the power of the martial realm! Therefore, Ning Yiwu was worried about the recurrence of the tragedy at that time, even if the imperial family was so incompetent at that time, he and his father had to carefully hold on to the pillars of the Empire State Building to prevent the empire from falling too quickly!"
After listening to this long speech, Dongfang Xue suddenly realized, "So that's the case!, but things can't always go on like this, such an empire will be destroyed sooner or later, even I can understand this truth, how could Ning Yiwu's predecessors not know?"
Dongfang Hao said: "You are very right in this question, I couldn't understand Ning Yiwu's thoughts at that time, I also scolded him for being foolish and loyal, and I also said a lot of big truths in front of him, now that I think about it, I really seem a little young and superficial." ”
Dongfang Xue smiled slightly: "What kind of big truth did my father say in front of Ning Yiwu's predecessors?
