Bao Guowei made preparations in advance to prevent unpredictable changes in the future.

He planned to use Yu Zhengnan, his son-in-law, to secretly control the Qingzhou border army and use it as the Bao family's trump card against the country.

In this way, even if the country were to take action against the Bao family one day, it would not dare to act rashly until the military power in Yu Zhengnan's hands was removed.

In fact, not only the Bao family, but the other six powerful families and wealthy families have also secretly reached into the arsenal of the four frontiers.

The so-called four frontiers refer to the four frontier armies in the east, south, west and north. They are also the elite troops with the strongest combat effectiveness in Daxia.

The arsenal is a special organization that gathers high-level military personnel and wields extremely heavy power.

However, the state has very strict control over the arsenal, and even the Seven Gates have difficulty reaching in.

The aristocratic families then retreated to the next best thing and set their sights on the border troops of the four frontiers.

Yu Zhengnan came from a grassroots background, so he was naturally disgusted by this.

But he felt that Bao Guowei was too old and had some Alzheimer's disease, so he would have such unrealistic ideas.

But the facts proved that he was wrong.

It just so happened that during those years, the other three frontiers in the east, south and west were stable, with few wars breaking out, and it was not easy to gain military exploits.

However, the wolf tribe in the northern border invaded every day. With the power of the Bao family, it was really easy for him to have the opportunity to make military exploits for him.

In just a few years, he rose from a mid-level officer to the top with his military exploits and successfully became the commander-in-chief of the Qingzhou border army.

But the greater the military power he held, the more panicked he felt.

He must make a choice between the family behind his beloved wife and the justice of the country.

He would definitely not agree to betraying the country.

After betraying the Bao family, he found it difficult to let go of his beloved wife.

This put him in a dilemma, but he still couldn't come up with a solution that would satisfy both parties.

Later, he and his junior brother Jiang Chuanwu became close friends, and he once confided his depression to him after being drunk.

But although Jiang Chuanwu has amazing talents, he is not good at conspiracy and conspiracy, and there is nothing he can do about it.

He also detested such intrigues and said that after completing his military service, he would be discharged and return to the fields, where he and his wife Ye Shulan would live a life of men farming and women weaving.

But not long after, just when Jiang Chuanwu's ten-year military service had officially expired and he was about to submit his application for retirement, an incident broke out in which graduates of the Qingzhou Martial Arts Academy were besieged and killed by wolves.

After Yu Zhengnan got the news, he first felt angry.

Then he had an idea and decided to use this opportunity to hand over the military power of the Qingzhou border army.

This way, we no longer have to be caught between the country and the Bao family.

Thus, this was the battle in which 600,000 frontier troops marched out to conquer the grasslands.

At this point, Yu Zhengnan was already bursting into tears: "But I never thought that for my own selfishness, I would lose the lives of more than 400,000 brothers. Even Chuanwu was buried on the prairie to cover my breakout.

I am a sinner, a sinner through the ages..."

"Dad, what happened has happened, so don't blame yourself. Besides, the Wolf Clan was defeated by Daxia in that battle. For more than ten years, they didn't dare to take another step into Daxia. Those heroic spirits in the Bone Burial Grassland

If there is knowledge under the spring, you will also feel relieved."

Baoli's heart ached, her eyes turned red, and she patted Yu Zhengnan's back to comfort him.

No one knows better than her how her father has been here all these years.

For ten years, he was like a walking corpse that had lost his soul.

Not only do I have to endure the abuse and humiliation from the Bao family outside, I also have to endure it.

After returning home, I still have to endure my mother’s endless complaints and scorn.

And her eldest brother and third brother are also ashamed of him and will never give him a good look.

But he was very happy and would quietly prepare three meals a day for his family every day.

The rest of the time I was either drinking or looking in the direction of the prairie in a daze.

Everyone said that he was like a piece of mud that couldn't stand up to the wall, and even a good hand of cards was beaten to pieces by him.

She once thought that her father could not hold his head high because he had failed the Bao family's cultivation and expectations.

If she hadn't stayed in Qingzhou for several years due to aphasia when she was a child, she would have been very close to her father and knew what kind of person he was.

Otherwise, I am afraid that like her eldest brother and third brother, she would be ashamed of having such a father.

Now she finally understands that her father is still the same father and never cares what some insignificant people think of him.

The reason why he lived such a humble life these years was just to torture himself and atone for the mistakes he had made.

Looking at this room, although it is simple, it is extremely neat and tidy.

Paulie seemed to understand why Mom and Dad were getting divorced.

It's not that my mother doesn't love him anymore, but that she knows he is using this method to atone for his sins.

Therefore, the hard-spoken and soft-hearted mother felt that ten years of torture was enough, so she took the initiative to divorce him.

It seems very selfish, as if she wants to get rid of this good-for-nothing husband.

In fact, why don't you hope that he can let you go?

"Okay, I've told you everything you want to know."

Yu Zhengnan wiped away his tears and smiled sheepishly: "Stop talking about these unhappy things, you finally come here and have a drink with dad."

"Okay, I want to see if you can drink it or if your daughter can drink it."

Baoli didn't want her father to be immersed in the past, so she naughtily challenged him.

"Hahaha, okay, I'm going to get some wine and have a couple of drinks with my precious daughter to see how good my daughter is at drinking."

After Yu Zhengnan confided his repressed thoughts for many years, he seemed to feel relieved and laughed heartily.

Seeing that her father must have finally come out, Paulie was sincerely happy for him.

"You get the wine, and I'll add the vegetables. Although the steamed seabass is delicious, it's a bit too bland. Let's have hot pot and drink."

Baoli happily opened a box of self-heating hot pot.

ten minutes later.

"Dad, please eat less and leave some for me."

"It's my fault. You didn't even mention bringing more of such delicious food."

"I didn't make it. Jiang Guanyu only gave me this little. What can I do?"

"You don't care how much he orders."

"Why should I care what others want?"

"Just because I am his future father-in-law."

"Dad, have you drunk too much? What nonsense are you talking about."

"Dad is not talking nonsense. I made an agreement with your Uncle Jiang back then to let you get married when you grow up."

"Ah? Why haven't I heard you say that?"

"Your Uncle Jiang and I talked on the prairie, but your Uncle Jiang...hey!"

"Then wasn't this said in vain?"

"It's not for nothing, I'm just afraid that people won't recognize me. Hey, no, my daughter, what do you mean? You have fallen in love with that boy Yuyazi?"

"Ouch! Dad, you hate it, I don't have it."

"Okay, no, no, okay, but even if there is, it will only happen if someone agrees, especially your Aunt Ye... Hey, I haven't had the face to see her for so many years. I can't forgive her.

…”

"Okay, Dad, let's not talk about those unhappy things. Come on, let's keep drinking!"
