Chapter Eighty-Six: The Old Man and the Story (Part II)
After the war, Yang Fei left the Tsing Yi Yamen, returned to Qingzhou City, and lived in seclusion in Hualiu Lane.
In fact, with Yang Fei's many years of experience in warfare, although he did not make any outstanding achievements, his status was ordinary, and he could only return to his hometown after being seriously injured, the bereavement pension given by the imperial court was extremely generous, which was enough for him to have fine clothes and food for a lifetime. Moreover, the imperial court also arranged for the county governor of Shouguang County under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou, and all parties took good care of it.
But Yang Guang did not go to the post.
Not only did he not go to the post, but he didn't even go to see the little junior sister, let alone marry the other party.
For others, this may be difficult to understand, but for Yang Fei personally, this is actually normal. It is that people have self-esteem, and the improvement of status will also make people's self-esteem stronger.
Although Yang Fei is very ordinary in the Tsing Yi Yamen, what kind of place is the Tsing Yi Yamen? Wherever he goes, he will be feared by others. Originally, Yang Fei wanted to return to his hometown, but in the end, he passively left the Tsing Yi Yamen, and his honor was lost.
Cultivation fell to the level of Qi training, and in his own opinion, it was no longer worth mentioning, and the broken arm made him feel that he was not worthy of his junior sister. Falling from the clouds to the dust, Yang Fei was disheartened, and gradually did not want to face the world anymore, and drank all day long.
At present, the Tang Dynasty, the advent of prosperity is unstoppable, and there are thriving signs everywhere. Most people's lives are getting better and better, and people are high-spirited and motivated. And Yang Fei, who has fought for this era, has reached the lowest point in his life, and there is no hope of returning to the peak.
The huge loss in contrast between the two made Yang Fei just want to live in a dark corner.
For Brother Mu'er, Yang Fei didn't want to deal with it at first, and he refused to pay attention to anyone from the bottom of his heart. rescued the other party at the mouth of the alley that day, but it was just a good nature, and he didn't want to intersect with the other party.
But Brother Mu has always been unrelenting, but Yang Fei was not disgusted and angry, in addition to seeing his youthful strength in the other party, it is also because Brother Mu has a good personality and is very sensible, it is difficult to be disgusted.
After getting along for a long time, Yang Fei gradually had a thought in his mind, "Since I can't return to the peak myself, if I fight for the dynasty again, I can cultivate a good young man, which can be regarded as living up to the court's favor to me." ”
This is the excuse that Yang Fei found for himself.
What he didn't want to admit was that Brother Mu'er's passion had actually lit up his lonely and dark life a little, so that he no longer wanted to be drunk to death. If you want to go on with life, you have to find a goal, find some fun, and find a concern.
Without these three things, life is meaningless.
In this way, Yang Fei began to train Mu Ge'er.
He used Mu Ge'er's screams as a source of happiness every day, and the more the other party was tortured to exhaustion, the more his eyes lit up, and it was only at this time that Yang Fei realized the mentality of those leaders of the Tsing Yi Yamen and trained them when they joined the new team.
Mu Ge'er's parents thought that Mu Ge'er had gone crazy, and that he was not a good mason, and he even wanted to become a monk, which was also what they could hope for?
Later, in order to protect his first disciple and not completely fall out with his family, Yang Fei gave Brother Mu'er's family a sack of copper coins. When Mu Ge'er's parents saw a pile of yellow, orange and orange copper plates piled up in the house, their mouths couldn't close in surprise, and they immediately agreed with a smile to Mu Ge'er to follow Yang Fei's practice.
They are not greedy for Yang Fei's money, but think that if they can take out so much money casually, Yang Fei is definitely not an ordinary person.
Half a year later, Qingzhou Training College held an exam to recruit a new batch of students, and Mu Ge'er went to participate in the selection. Yang Fei held the wine jar in his own home, and ate a chopstick and drank a jar of wine with the appetizer prepared by Brother Mu before leaving.
Three days later, Brother Mu rushed into Yang Fei's house,
I told the other party the good news that I was admitted.
Yang Fei looked very calm, and only said two words: "Congratulations." ”
He actually knew very well that with the current strength of the imperial court's construction of the cultivation academy, young people who were slightly qualified to endure hardships were qualified to enter the academy to practice. The difference is only whether to enter the state city cultivation academy or the county county cultivation academy.
Right now, in the entire Qingzhou City, thirty percent of the young people can get the qualification to enter the academy to practice. Brother Mu was trained by him for half a year, and he couldn't become a disciple of Qingzhou Cultivation Academy, that was a strange thing.
At night, Yang Fei raised the wine jar and looked at Mingyue, and sighed angrily: "This is the favor of the imperial court! How many young people from poor families have changed their fate, and how many monks have been added to the country because of this! In the long run, how can the dynasty not prosper?"
After saying these words, Yang Fei burst into tears.
The country is so prosperous, but he himself can only survive, which is really a trick. Mu Ge'er entered the cultivation academy, and he no longer needed his guidance and training, and he had nothing to do but continue to be a wine worm, waiting for the moment when he was drunk to death.
In the past six months, his spirit has improved a lot, and today, he finally mustered up the courage to sneak back to the carriage and horse shop, wanting to see what the little junior sister looks like now.
He has long heard that the petite cardamom girl in the past has been slim and elegant, she is a famous beauty, and she has also shown good cultivation qualifications.
Under the dark night sky, Yang Snitch was lying on the wall.
The little sister's room is brightly lit, and her embroidered figure is reflected on the window screen, with a demure temperament and graceful posture. He heard that the little junior sister's maid told her that among the handsome people who had come to courtship during this time, there were two families with talents and good personalities.
Among them, there is a man named Xu Lin, who is already at the third level of Qi cultivation at the age of the weak crown, and he will definitely have a great future in the future. Yang Fei found that when the maid mentioned the last person, the little junior sister's embroidered hand paused for a long time. This made him have a heart cramp, and he felt that it was intentional for that Xu Lin, the little junior sister.
Yang Fei, who was in tears, retracted his head from the wall, left the dart game like a cat and a dog, and drank three jars of wine when he got home, but the more he drank, the more sober he became.
He knows that the little junior sister no longer needs him, too, he is now a wasted person, and the little junior sister who is destined to have a good life has no reason to need him. It's good not to let the little junior sister see him, he should stay away, so that in her mind, he is still in high spirits, and he barely retains a little dignity.
In fact, in the past six months, Yang Fei has thought about cheering up many times. It's a pity that he was seriously injured at the beginning, which damaged the fundamentals, and it is impossible to make progress in cultivation. Coupled with a broken arm, it is inconvenient to do anything, and the light has long closed the door to him.
In this thriving country, there are people with bright faces, who have dreams and hopes, and are fighting for tomorrow, and no one will accept or care about a cripple with no future.
After drinking the last jar of wine in the room, Yang Fei took out his saber from under the bed and walked straight to the window.
Looking up at the crescent moon in the sky, he decided to say goodbye to this world.
What's the point of a life without hope, to live and to be tormented by endless suffering? He is not a coward, he has fought bloody battles with the enemy at the expense of his life. He had the courage to face death and could end his life with his own hands.
Although the horizontal knives have not been maintained for many years, they are still dazzling, and the rune array on the knife body is still so clear, obviously they have not lost their functions because they have not been used for a long time. This magic weapon horizontal knife was rewarded by the Tsing Yi Yamen after Yang Fei made meritorious service, and he followed him to kill many enemies.
Now, the sword that slays the enemy will also kill himself.
A smile of relief appeared on Yang Fei's face, and the horizontal knife was in front of his neck, pulling heavily.
Blood spilled on the moonlight.
Yang Fei was stunned.
His knife only brought two or three drops of blood, and the wound on his neck was shallow.
"How does it feel to kill yourself?" a deep voice sounded behind Yang Fei.
He turned around and looked stunned, almost thinking he was hallucinating.
Standing at the door, it turned out to be the Tang Emperor Li Ye!
The smile on the other party's face was faint, just like when the two first met.
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty?" Yang Fei was shocked, and hurriedly saluted, his movements neat and neat, "Minister, Yang Fei of the Tsing Yi Yamen, see Your Majesty!"
Li Ye helped Yang Feixu up, looked at his excited appearance, and sighed regretfully: "The soldiers of our dynasty did not die on the battlefield, but they will die under their own swords in a peaceful land...... It's not your cowardice, it's my sin!"
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty?" Yang Fei couldn't believe that Li Ye would say such a thing, and he couldn't understand it for a while.
When Yang Fei was stunned, Li Ye grabbed his wrist and looked straight, and the power of cultivation poured out like a tide. It's just that in an instant, Yang Fei's disappeared left arm grew inch by inch, and the foundation of his damage was repaired bit by bit.
When Li Ye let go of Yang Fei's wrist, the latter not only had an intact left arm, but his cultivation foundation was restored, and even the realm had reached the fourth level of qi training!
Sensing that the majestic power that had disappeared for a long time had reappeared in his body, Yang Fei suddenly cried with joy, and hurriedly fell to the ground, his voice choked: "Thank you, Your Majesty......! A wasted person, I really don't dare to be such a generous gift from His Majesty, and the ministers are ashamed......"
With Li Ye's current cultivation strength, Mo said that if Yang Fei regained his qi cultivation, even if he was allowed to achieve the real human realm in one step, or even the immortal realm, it would only be a gesture.
Li Ye shook his head and helped Yang Fei up again, his smile was a little bitter, "This is what I should do, I was negligent before." Over the years, I only thought about leading the Tang Dynasty forward, but I forgot about those who once pushed the dynasty forward, but now they have fallen behind. ”
Speaking of this, seeing Yang Fei open his mouth to speak, Li Ye waved his hand, "You don't have to say anything to me now, you have to go see someone right away." When I came, I saw a woman who was sneaking out of her brain, and it should be your old friend.
"You went to visit her before, and when you came back, you showed traces, and people followed you to Changpingfang, and you didn't even find out, this is not a mistake that the monks of the Tsing Yi Yamen should make. ”
Yang Fei's hands trembled.
Although Li Ye has the eye of the emperor and can monitor everywhere, he still has no intention of peeping at the picture of Yang Fei and his little junior sister seeing each other.
When leaving Hualiu Lane, Li Ye kept frowning slightly, and the big secretary asked with concern, and Li Ye said what he thought.
When he saw Yang Fei today, he was deeply moved, "The fact that Datang can stand firm and tall today is all the result of the blood and sweat of monks and soldiers. But when the world is prosperous, those who are injured and leave the army do not receive the respect and glory they deserve.
"I thought that by giving them generous pensions and arranging local official positions, they would be able to live the rest of their lives in peace. I thought of everything, but I didn't expect that what should be taken care of most was their spirit and dignity.
Speaking of this, Li Ye's eyes lit up: "From today on, whether it is the Tsing Yi Yamen, or the Chang'an Forbidden Army, or other monks, but all those who have made meritorious contributions and retired due to injuries, the imperial court will give them pills according to the size of their merits to reshape their cultivation realm!"
Da Si Ming was stunned: "This requires too many resources, and now that the imperial dynasty is moving forward, it is too burdensome......"
Li Ye waved her hand, indicating that she had made up her mind, and she didn't need to say much.
Looking at the bright moon in the sky, Li Ye said slowly: "There are always dark corners where the sun can't shine. But if I am the god of the Tang Dynasty, my light should have no dead ends. In this way, Datang can go further. ”
