The weight of the four words "successor" was beyond the understanding of Ning Zhu and Xue Tongchui. At this time, they did not know what the four words the old headmaster said at this time meant.
Soon after, the two children were taken away by the old headmaster. When they left, they looked back at Lin Ye, as if they didn't understand what this old man could really change by taking them away.
Lin Ye watched the two children walking on the left and right beside the old headmaster, and the back figures of the three people were deeply engraved in Lin Ye's mind.
What Lin Ye didn't notice was that while he was standing there in a daze looking at the backs of the three old headmasters, the Supreme Saint was also standing behind him, looking at the young and upright figure in a daze.
Concubine Wan Gui stood beside the Supreme Saint and looked sideways at her man. At this moment, her eyes were full of tenderness.
About half an hour later, Lin Ye sat on the wall of the border city and looked to the north.
Ning Haitang walked to him, leaning against the city wall and looking in the opposite direction to Lin Ye.
"Sage, do you want to borrow Shangyang Palace?"
Ning Haitang asked softly.
Lin Ye nodded and said nothing.
Ning Haitang didn't look back at him, but he knew the answer he wanted to know.
She sighed softly: "It turns out it's not over."
Lin Ye replied: "Where will it end? No matter when it starts, it will never end."
As long as it is a country, no matter big or small, there will inevitably be various problems. This cannot be completely solved by having a wise monarch in this country.
It is not even something that can be avoided by having all the wise ministers and capable men in the court.
If we know that there are some problems in this country and just continue to scold her, hate her, or even slander her and betray her, then... we are also a disease of this country.
The Supreme Sage once stubbornly believed at a certain period that only young souls are pure enough.
It's because he has seen too many people who have accumulated wisdom over time choose to follow the crowd or even deviate from their own bloodline.
"fortunately."
Ning Haitang suddenly said these two words. No one knew what she was thinking about at this moment. What was she trying to express with these two words?
I don’t know if Lin Ye understood it, but he repeated these two words.
"fortunately."
The two people were still back to back, one looking in the direction of the motherland and the other looking in the direction of the enemy.
I don't know how long it took, but Ning Haitang asked the question she wanted to ask the most but had been holding back.
"is it you?"
Lin Ye's answer came quickly, but it didn't sound like a definite answer.
"It's me."
Ning Haitang smiled, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, not too much, but it was the brightest and brightest in the room.
Then she said those two words again.
"fortunately."
Lin Ye did not answer these two words immediately. It seemed that after a long period of time, several centuries, and perhaps traveling through countless spaces, he repeated these two words for the second time.
"fortunately."
Ning Haitang said: "Although the two of us got engaged in Loufan, if it were you, you know that I would not stay in some luxurious and beautiful place and never come out."
Lin Ye nodded.
She said: "So, if it's you, if that day comes, I hope you won't blame me."
He said: "So, if it's me, I won't blame you if that day comes, because I won't let you down either."
The curve of the corners of Ning Haitang's mouth widened slightly.
"About when?"
She asked a question again.
Lin Ye replied: "Probably within one or two years. After all, we cannot delay the major event of the Northern Expedition in five years. The Supreme Saint looks very anxious because he still wants to see it."
Ning Haitang understood.
No one knows how long the Taishang Shengjun's body can last. Although even he looked relaxed when he mentioned this, it can be seen from his unwillingness to come back from Loufan that he really wants to see it.
"I see."
Ning Haitang stood up straight, still looking in the direction of Dayu.
"Then... maybe you should leave me with something more important."
Ning Haitang pointed to the compass: "If there is a sword that needs to be sharpened so that it can cut everything when the sword is raised in the future, then..."
She looked at Lin Ye and said seriously: "The sword should be in my hand."
Lin Ye said: "It depends on how many swords there are."
Ning Haitang said: "I will not go back to Geling. I have already written a memorial and sent it to Geling, asking your majesty to allow me to return to Guzhu to prepare for war. Therefore, I will not be able to see the major events that will happen in the next two years.
.”
Lin Ye said: "It will be a good story."
Ning Haitang said: "I know."
Lin Ye smiled and said, "I'll tell you later."
Ning Haitang also laughed and raised her head to watch the white clouds slowly drifting past in the sky. The wind gently caressed her face and blew the hair on her forehead.
She said: "Okay."
Ning Haita felt that she should be the kind of woman who could say many heroic words, so even she herself did not expect that all the words she wanted to say at this time would eventually turn into three words like this.
Lin Ye felt that she should have countless ways to express her emotions and countless ways to comfort her worries.
But the final reply was only these three words.
"Okay."
This is a seemingly ordinary late autumn. Even the people in Dongbo feel that there is nothing worth remembering about this autumn.
If there is one thing, then it is that many Shangyang Palace priests came from Dayu to preach. They wore beautiful brocade robes and spoke beautiful Mandarin. They used these things to show the Dongbo people what a beautiful future is.
This seems like a big deal, but compared to the people of Dongbo who have been fighting in the past few years, this matter really does not deserve their excessive attention, because it really does not involve their life and death.
The places where the common people cannot see are the first to make waves, because the common people are always the water below the surface.
Since King Dongbo announced his intention to join the Shangyang Palace, civil and military officials in the Dongbo court followed suit.
Even the queens and concubines in the harem, as well as the wives and concubines of civil servants and generals, all came to the priests of Shangyang Palace and asked to become disciples of Shangyang Palace.
Shangyang Palace, which seems to be a little inferior in Dayu, is flourishing in Dongbo.
This is really not an autumn that is easy to remember, because this autumn has a bumper harvest, joy, dullness and a little disappointment, but this is what an ordinary autumn should be like, so no one thinks this is abnormal.
.
The only thing that the people of Xiantang City didn't understand was why the master of the temple, who looked as elegant as a banished immortal, suddenly chose to leave Xiantang City and started a parade in Dongbo.
They all felt that this might be something planned by the master of the temple, because the master of the temple said that the blessing of Shangyang Palace is that the rain and dew are equally shared.
The visitor likes Xiantang City but will not prefer Xiantang City. He wants to spread the sunshine of Shangyang Palace to every place in Dongbo.
The common people would not know that this parade was actually not part of Chen Weiwei's plan. He just heard the news that Lin Ye was approaching Xiantang, and then hurriedly arranged this parade that was endowed with sacred glory.
Peace will never be remembered.
Joy comes second.
The suffering is the worst.
When Lin Ye arrived at Xiantang City, he saw a welcoming ceremony that was so grand that he was a little surprised.
The grandness of this welcome ceremony was far greater than when the visitor came, because all he brought was some food that smelled like sunshine.
The smell of warm hope.
But what General Lin Ye brought back was a real victory.
When Yu Yucheng learned in a hurry that Lin Ye was about to arrive in Xiantang City, he immediately ordered the matter to be publicized, and he would spare no effort to let the people of Dongbo know that the general went deep into the hinterland of Loufan, killed many people, and even captured them alive.
A minister of the Ministry of War returned.
Most important
What is important is that Dayu decides to truly take over the defense of the northern border of Dongbo. One hundred thousand troops will be stationed in the northern border for a long time. From then on, the Dongbo people no longer have to worry about the threats posed by the Loufan people from time to time.
Years of war have caused the Dongbo people to feel fear and resistance from the bottom of their hearts, and this is exactly the emotion that Jade Man wants them to have.
The brilliance of the Supreme Saint King is that he left the country of Dongbo behind, but bit by bit chipped away at a certain belief that the people of this country should have firmly held, that...
There should be no troops from other countries stationed inside.
Perhaps when Dayu announced that he would garrison troops in Dongbo at first, most Dongbo people resisted.
But after these few years, the Dongbo people, who were too afraid and tired of fighting, began to sincerely hope that Dayu would send more troops so that they could live in peace and stability.
Yes, Dongbo still looks like a complete *** country, doesn’t it?
The color of Dongbo's national flag has not changed, the status of the king of Dongbo remains the same, the living habits of the people of Dongbo have not been destroyed, and no piece of land has been lost on the map of Dongbo.
Therefore, Dongbo is an independent and complete country.
As for the garrison from Dayu?
Well, that's a good thing.
Dongbo used to be the most powerful empire in the northern part of the Central Plains. At that time, Dongbo even had the ability and ambition to capture the entire Central Plains.
Now Dong Bo feels that having a powerful empire on his back is a good thing.
In this way, Taishang Shengjun made the people of Dongbo accept a knowledge that they should not accept...
We only gave them food, supplies, military expenses, and a little bit of land for them to live on, but in exchange we got a powerful army as their patron saint...
People in Dongbo will no longer think about it. If one day Lou Fan is destroyed by Dayu, and Dongbo loses its status as a barrier to Dayu's northern border, is it still necessary for Dongbo to exist as a country?
[An app that has been running stably for many years. It is comparable to the old book-chasing tool. It is used by all old bookworms.
"fine."
Yu Yucheng hurriedly hummed, looking at the cheering people below the city gate tower, he raised his hand and responded with a smile.
Then he asked: "General... Dongbo, are you okay?"
Lin Ye said: "If one day comes when you have to make a choice, you will look back today and thank you for asking me these two questions today, because... I will remember that you asked Empress Dayu first.
Ask Dong Bo."
Yu Yucheng took a deep breath in a hurry.
Then when he looked at the cheering people, there was some unnoticeable sadness in his eyes.
