159 Mysterious golden whip! The mission and responsibility of soldiers! One day later, Hong'er was sure to be fine. The two old men were obviously happy, feeling guilty and grateful to Tang Zhanxuan.

Tang Zhanxuan just said indifferently: "I don't know who told you that I can cure this smallpox. I don't care what this person's purpose is, but you have also seen in the past few days that it is really not the smallpox that I can cure."

Children, I haven't done anything. If you really thank me, please tell me that I can't cure smallpox when you go back. I don't want anyone to come to me again with a child with smallpox.

, I am not a saint or a doctor, I have a lot of things to do, and I don’t want people to think that I am so powerful or unnatural, so I don’t want any credit that does not belong to me.”

The two old men also understood what Tang Zhanxuan meant. Even though they were much older, they could not help but blush and feel guilty. After all, Tang Zhanxian did not know how to treat smallpox. Thinking about that day when they came to force Tang Zhanxian to treat the child, they were really at this moment.

I feel ashamed.

"Okay, we will tell you and testify for you." The majestic old man agreed, and after thinking about it, he said: "You saved the grandson of our two old guys. In return, I can tell you

One thing.”

Tang Zhanxuan raised his eyebrows in a different way, but did not ask, just looked at the old man quietly.

The majestic old man glanced at Tang Zhanxuan's golden whip hanging on the wall, with deep fear and nostalgia in his eyes, and said slowly: "You must carry that whip with you wherever you go, and don't lose it.

If it falls into the hands of others, you must take good care of that whip, it... is very precious!"

Whip?! Tang Zhanxuan never expected that what the old man was going to say would be related to the whip. She couldn't help but glance at the whip and asked: "Do you know the origin of this whip?"

In Tang Zhanxuan's memory, this whip seems to have been with little Tang Zhanxuan since he was a child. The memory is a bit blurry. It should have been given to Tang Zhanxuan by General Tang, right? It's just that when he was a child, Tang Zhanxuan couldn't swing it and kept it in his room. At this moment, the old man said

Tang Zhanxian couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the whip. After all, this old man was very secretive.

"I know a little bit about it, but I can't tell you its origin. As long as you remember, as long as the whip is still in your hand, you don't have the protection of your father, and no one in this world dares to touch you! Of course, that was also in a few years

A hundred years ago, most of the people who knew this whip now are probably dead, but there must still be people in some big aristocratic families and hidden centuries-old families who know this whip. The two of us together are almost 200 years old.

I only know the approximate origin of this whip. As for the rest, I can’t say much more. After all, those things are in the past.” There is always some hiddenness and fear in the words of the majestic old man.

Tang Zhanxuan couldn't help but be shocked. How old are these two old guys? They are really... so young! Look at those rosy old faces? Wait, it's just a whip, so they are so afraid to say anything about it?

"Can you tell me what special meaning this whip has? Or what does it represent? Rights? Status? Wealth? Or identity?" Tang Zhanxuan was intrigued by their words and asked.

The hot-tempered old man's favor for Tang Zhanxuan skyrocketed. His temper was already fiery, but now he was even more cheerful towards his little grandson's savior. So when Tang Zhanxuan asked him, he almost blurted out without thinking: "Noble! It is a symbol of nobility in the world.

The most..."

"Third brother!!" The majestic old man had no time to stop him and could only shout angrily, and glared at the fiery old man fiercely.

The fiery old man's words suddenly stopped, and immediately his expression changed drastically, and he lowered his head suddenly, not daring to say anything more.

Tang Zhanxuan squinted her eyes, paying attention to the two people's movements and expressions. Such reactions had aroused Tang Zhanxuan's interest, but she did not continue to ask, but smiled and said: "Okay, thank you for telling me this, but regardless of this whip

It once had any value, now it's just my weapon, nothing more."

Even if she was interested, she wouldn't ask this old fox. She made it clear that she didn't want to talk about it, and she didn't have time to take care of the whip now. She would talk about it later.

After the two old men hugged their little grandson, who was already well, and got into the car outside the palace gate, the fiery old man couldn't help but said: "Brother, do you need to be so nervous? It's been more than a hundred years, who will remember it?

Such a whip?"

"Hmph, don't forget that sixteen years ago, someone caused a bloody storm for this whip. How do you know that the person who recognized this whip at that time was not dead? This whip was once owned by Mr. Tang (Tang Zhanxuan)

It was a plaything in the hands of our ancestors. At that time, who among us knew its value and identity? Anyway, be careful." The majestic old man said sternly.

"Princess, the palace has been completely cleaned up. This was found from the pile of ashes according to the princess' order." Qing Yi handed a small bag of tips to Tang Zhanxuan.

Tang Zhanxuan put down the golden whip he was studying and took the small tips bag. Inside was a handful of gray ashes, which were the ashes of the child Huang Xuan. Only this little was found among the dark dust, but

It's better than nothing.

She took the ashes to Huang Tianjue's yard. What she saw was Huang Tianjue standing in the yard looking at the crooked tree. The tree was very tall and strong, with lush branches and leaves. It looked like it was quite old.

.

"What are you thinking about?" she asked softly. Looking from the side, she could see Huang Tianjue's tense chin and his focused eyes looking at the tree.

Huang Tianjue pointed at the tree and said with no trace of joy or sorrow in his voice: "This tree was planted by Xuan'er in his mother's yard on the day he was born. I told his mother that I couldn't keep it there.

I can't leave the country and the army alone around this child, so I will leave the child to you and the tree to you. Xing Jing, tell me, what will you do after listening to my words? How will you answer me?"

Tang Zhanxuan was stunned for a moment, shocked by Huang Tianjue's emotion and implicitness, and replied: "If you said this to me, then I will tell you that I will definitely educate my child well, and I will tell him to grow up

In the future, he will become a soldier like your father, protect the family and the country, have the world in mind, be upright and loyal, and I will let him

Even if his father is not by his side, he will still thrive like this little tree, so that he can still feel his father's hope and love for him in the days without his father. I will carefully prune this little tree.

The tree, let it grow into a towering tree one day, and it will never want to be like this... crooked!"

In later generations, people will always use small trees as metaphors for children. Small trees need to be carefully pruned before they can grow straight. The same is true for children. If they are not pruned, managed, or educated, they will never know where they went wrong or understand the truth.

When it grows up, it is like a small tree that has no one to manage it, turning into a defective product.

Huang Tianjue looked at Tang Zhanxuan, with deep regret and loneliness in his eyes, and said sarcastically: "Then do you know how Concubine Xu answered me back then?"

Tang Zhanxuan looked at Huang Tianjue in confusion.

Huang Tianjue said more and more bitterly: "She cried and begged me to come back to see her and the child more often. The child cannot live without his father. Can he stay for a few more days? Do you know the situation at that time? She was in the month of giving birth to Xuan'er.

This is the time when the fighting on the front line is at its most tense, but as the commander of the first army, I

It was a violation of military discipline to come back and see her at that time. If I stayed for a few more days without going back, something might happen. If there were differences in the military, it would probably lead to misjudgment, which could cause serious damage to the whole body.

Maybe it’s not one or two people, but the hundreds of thousands of generals and troops!”

"Compared with the hundreds of thousands of people and my children, and even the safety and lives of the people behind me, I have no choice! Because it is the mission and responsibility of my soldiers to protect our homeland and our country!! Xuan'er was there when I left

Crying, Concubine Xu is crying. Do you know that that battlefield was the worst I have ever been on?

It was a heavy one, and it was also a time when he almost lost his life. The enemy almost broke through in that battle. If the enemy really broke through that time, then Concubine Xu could just hold Xuan'er and jump into the well to commit suicide, because the enemy

The army will never let my family go!" Huang Tianjue said seriously.

"Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot have both ends. If I really let go of the entire army for the sake of my children, then I will be a sinner through the ages. I am responsible for Xuan'er's death today. It is because of my neglect of discipline as a father, but I don't

I regret the decision I made that day and what I have experienced in the past nine years.

Giving, because I stood on the battlefield and went out to kill the enemy again and again to keep the peace in the rear and Xuan'er's life. But I also missed the time to prune this child. Today this tree in front of me has become my

The most ridiculous thing I’ve ever done!”

Listening to his not-so-long memories, Tang Zhanxuan seemed to be brought back to that turbulent and war-torn era by Huang Tianjue's words and emotions. In such a great era, there were always choices and dissatisfactions on the battlefield and with family members, but soldiers

But they went to the battlefield to fight against the enemy and protect their country at the cost of sacrificing their lives and being away from their families. Even though the consequences were endless, they had no regrets!

Maybe others can't understand their sacrifices, and still blame them for their indifference to their families and their failure to fulfill their responsibilities, but who can see their efforts? Tang Zhanxuan's father was such a person in his previous life. Tang Zhanxuan cannot understand his father's coldness.

But now that Huang Tianjue's example was right in front of him, Tang Zhanxuan suddenly understood the so-called bystander.

If they had not gone to the battlefield with their coldness and cruelty to their families, what rights would they, the peaceful people, have to waste their youth wantonly? They would have been slaves of the country long ago! At that time, let alone a crooked sapling, it was just a branch.

They will all be burned down.

Soldiers' sacrifices are always the main ones to help others on top of the pain of their families and themselves. How can such a person not be respectable and cute?

"There are some things that we are powerless to stop and change. It's not that you can't see clearly, it's just that time is really a murderous knife. It can turn good people into evil spirits. You are right. If you leave life and death behind

However, in exchange for the peace of the people and the happiness of the people in the world, then you can be proud! Because you have no

Only through personal sacrifice can we achieve today's glory and people's peace. There are always some things in life that are destined to be lost. If you can learn from the lesson, you can plant many small trees with your own hands in the future. This time, you will have the opportunity to prune them with your own hands.

Let them become upright men and no longer be so crooked!"

Tang Zhanxuan sighed and said with a hint of respect: "Some regrets can be made up for, it just depends on whether you want to make up for it." She stretched out the hand holding the bag of tips and said softly: "Didn't you say that you will be buried in peace?

?This is the most Xuan'er's ashes that I can find, Huang Tianjue, let this child truly rest in peace, let this day be our last memorial to him. Tomorrow, we can start again!"

Huang Tianjue looked at Tang Zhanxian in deep shock. Without any extra words, he put his cold hand on Tang Zhanxian's hand, grasped it together with Tang Zhanxian's hand, and looked at her with bright eyes.

Will he still have the opportunity to educate his own children with his own hands? Will he still have a child with his blood? If so, he just wants this child to be the child that Xing Xing gave birth to for him! After experiencing pain and loss

, after feeling self-blame and guilt, helplessness and separation, he thought that he would be a good father, a father who truly knows how to love!

Although the journey was long and the hope was somewhat slim, at this moment, he began to look forward to and miss the birth of this child that belonged to him and Jian Jie!!
