"No more, no less, for a full fifteen years, from the time Emperor Jianwen was still alive, I guarded Ganzhou under your command. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "Although I don't know what Xiong Wanli is doing when he mentions this matter at this time, Da Niu still replied honestly.
"Yes, fifteen years have passed in a flash, and we are stationed in the northwest, but we are no longer the hairy boy who only had a bloody heart fifteen years ago, you big cow! You are now a father, and your wife and children live in Ganzhou City like the people of Ganzhou City, once the city is broken, haven't you thought about what kind of situation they will face? Da Niu, your son is only two years old, can you really bear to watch your son live a miserable and turbulent life at such a young age?"
Maybe Xiong Wanli's words worked, or maybe Da Niu couldn't find anything to forcefully refute Xiong Wanli, in short, this time, Da Niu chose to keep silent, and his head, which was already a little lowered, lost the slightest look at the moment when he inadvertently raised it gently.
"Da Niu, you go back first, go and see your wife and children, as for Fang Mingyun's side, I will find a way, I didn't let them into the city at the beginning, and now I won't just sit idly by and watch them being eaten away by the Tatar army little by little. In the face of the big bull who calmed down again, Xiong Wanli's tone slowly eased, Fang Mingyun was in today's situation because of himself, and Xiong Wanli was also very sad in his heart.
"General... Iā" Da Niu knew that his excitement just now was a little too reckless, and when he realized it now, he didn't know how to speak, and he didn't say a complete sentence for a long time.
"Okay, there's nothing for you here, go back early, I believe your wife and children must be worried about you, I was still worried about how to explain to them, this time you came back, it can be regarded as saving a big stone in my heart." With that, Xiong Wanli sat on the chair behind him tiredly, his eyes were half-closed, and he looked shaky, and waved his hand at the big bull who was still hesitating, signaling that he could go.
......
With a soft sound, the door that was already a little crumbling was slowly pushed open from the outside, although the sound of pushing the door has been minimized, but because the wooden door has not been maintained for a long time, the wooden shaft has become very dry, as long as it moves slightly, it will make a very harsh sound.
The people in the room were naturally woken up by this voice, opened their slowly closed eyes, and looked at the person who came, but there was no trace of waves in their eyes, "Senior brother, you are here." ā
Like the people in the house, the person who came was also dressed in a water-blue robe, the pattern of yin and yang gossip on the robe was very eye-catching in front of him, his long hair bun was pulled into a headband and stood above his head, his right hand was holding a dust, a long sword pinned to his waist, and his angular face was full of a dignified color, " I just asked clearly from the people who had just fled from the front, just in front of us not far away, there was an army stationed, it seemed that the imperial court was preparing to support Ganzhou City, I think I should leave in the next two days and join the Xiong Wanli Department of Ganzhou City, so it seems that the danger of Xiong Wanli's Ganzhou should be eased a lot. ā
As Jue Xin slowly walked into the room, Jue Nian's gaze always stayed on the blue sky outside the door behind him, and he was speechless for a long time......
"Senior brother, you... At the beginning, we rushed all the way from Guanzhong to get here, but... But now, why would you rather spend three days in this ruined temple than take another step forward?" As he spoke, Jue Xin had already come to Jue Nian's side, and he also sat down in the same way as Jue Nian, but his tone was full of anxiety.
"I..."Jue Nian raised his head and looked at the blue sky outside the room, looking like he wanted to say something, "Senior brother, do you know, I was unwilling in the past, thanks to the master's acceptance over the years, I was able to survive in the Baiyun Temple, but for so many years, there has not been a day when I have not thought about why I failed back then, why I lost the country in my hands, do you know?" I've always attributed all this to my own indecision, and I'm not even one-twelfth of my fourth uncle's uncle, and I've wondered countless times that if I could have had his hard-hearted heart, wouldn't those people have chosen to betray me when I needed them most?"
The voice of the desperate thought seemed so stunned, since he came to the Baiyun Temple, no one has ever heard him speak like today, that period of the past everyone thought that he had been sealed in his heart, and they all chose to keep silent, but now it seems that he has only buried this past deeply over the years, and has never been willing to reveal half a point in front of people, but once there is no one, he is the only one to lick his wound that is still dripping blood.
"Senior brother, do you know? For so many years, I have always felt that the person I am most sorry for is the old man of the master, if it wasn't for him, maybe there would not be what I am now, I also once seriously thought that I would follow the master to participate in meditation and enlightenment in this life, and never ask about Hongchen again, but... But I just can't! I really can't do it, I'm unwilling in my heart, I'm not willing to fail back then, I used to think that my fourth uncle was just a little more lucky than me. Jue Nian's voice has changed from the peace just now, and now he is very excited, and Jue Xin can clearly hear that this voice is full of unwillingness, but this should have been a roar full of anger, but I don't know why, Jue Xin didn't feel the anger he was most worried about, although Jue Nian's voice was excited, but there was no violent air that made people's hearts palpitate.
"Senior brother, don't you still understand? Although the master doesn't say it on weekdays, among the senior brothers, the master is most worried about you, and this time allowing you to come to the world is also to let you end your own demons, and you should be able to feel the master's intentions. ā
Jue Nian slowly retracted his gaze and looked at Jue Xin beside him again, this senior brother who had accompanied him all these years, watching... Looking... The kind look of the White Crane Daoist seemed to appear in front of Jue Nian, and Jue Nian grinned for some reason, as if he was talking to himself, " At the beginning, I also used to have a full stomach, and what I thought about all day long was how to be a good monarch, so that the people of the Ming Dynasty could live a rich and beautiful life, so that they would no longer be displaced by war, and no longer work day and night because of heavy taxes, at that time, I also fantasized about being able to be a good king in history, and I also confidently thought that I had this ability, but... But all this has become so unattainable after I ascended the throne, that seat seems to be high, hehe, the whole world is not the king's land, the shore of the land is not the king's minister, this sentence is easy to say, but there are too many unsatisfactory things to do, those ambitions back then, I once vowed not to be a murderous king like my grandfather, but... But the first thing I did after I ascended the throne was to cut the feudal domain, and this cut is not only how many innocent people have died, but also how many people have been displaced because of this, this world is like this, no matter how beautiful your wishes are, they can't withstand the destruction of reality after all. ā
