Xu Wenchuan snorted lightly, with a faint hint of domineering in his indifferent expression, "This is the decision of the Military Machinery Pavilion!"
"So, the Junji Pavilion has been officially established? Bai Zhenshan has no objection?" Wandong looked happy, not for himself, but for the hundreds of millions of people in the entire Qingyun Empire. The establishment of the Military Machine Pavilion is definitely great news for his mother.
Although it is said that Bai Zhenshan only has one year to live, if an emperor intends to cause trouble, this year is enough to kill millions of people.
"No one in the civil and military dynasties objects, so even if he objects, is it useful?"
Xu Wenchuan said that the wind was calm and there would be no waves, but Wan Dongguang could imagine that there must be turbulence in the court today. It was impossible for Bai Zhenshan to hand over power without resistance. It's just that the matter has become a foregone conclusion, Wan Dong is not prepared to ask any more questions, and Xu Wenchuan must not be willing to say more. After all, it was not what he wanted for things to get to this point.
Wan Youqi is not an ordinary girl. Although she is young, she has been dealing with power for many years. Although she didn't know what Xu Wenchuan meant by Military Machine Pavilion, she could still see that all the power of the Qingyun Empire was now concentrated in Xu Wenchuan's hands.
Wan Youqi was naturally happy to see this, and her face was also full of smiles.
"Dad, why are you so cruel? It's just that Tianlong has been guarding Northern Xinjiang all year round and will not come back. You also want to send my only son to the border to separate our flesh and blood. This... This is too unreasonable, right?" Ning Shan walked in from the door with tears in her eyes.
Ning Shan had always been very filial and respectful to Xu Wenchuan, and had never even spoken loudly back. But now she couldn't help but blame Xu Wenchuan, which showed how sad she felt at this time.
For his daughter-in-law, Xu Wenchuan did feel guilty in his heart. Now being blamed by Ning Shan, he really had nothing to say and his old face was full of shame.
"Mom, why are you here?" Xu Wenchuan was embarrassed to speak, so Wandong hurriedly came forward and held Ning Shan's hand.
"Yao Ting, listen to me, let's not go to Divine Thunder City and become the city lord, okay?" Ning Shan said to Wandong almost pleadingly. Tears were shining in his eyes, which made Wan Dong feel heartbroken.
"Mom! I know you are worried about me, but there is really no need. Your son is now a super master in the realm of Dzogchen. No one can hurt me." Wan Dong took Ning Shan's hand and pressed her down. Sitting on the chair, he said comfortingly.
"That won't work! Haven't you heard that a fairy beast appeared in the White Dragon Snow Mountain? That's a fairy beast. It should only exist in the sky. How powerful would it be? What if you encounter it... No, no, let me think about it. I'm afraid, listen to me, you must not go." Ning Shan was soft-tempered and timid. Just thinking about her son's encounter with the fairy beast made her break into a cold sweat and shook her head.
Xu Wenchuan couldn't help but frown. If Ning Shan was determined not to let Wandong go to Divine Thunder City, then he really couldn't refuse. He owes enough to his daughter-in-law.
"Mom, do you still remember the past?" Wan Dong's expression suddenly changed, and there was a hint of sadness in his eyebrows, which made Ning Shan's heart immediately twitch.
"Before?" Ning Shan asked nervously.
Wandong nodded heavily and said, "Yes, before! In the past, I was almost useless except for causing trouble, making you scared, and causing trouble for grandpa. On the surface, wherever I go, there is endless scenery, and everyone Flattery, but from the depths of their eyes, I can see the disdain and ridicule they feel towards me. I am just a useless rascal, a good-for-nothing bastard who only knows how to bully others..."
"No! Yaoting, stop talking, stop talking!" No mother can listen to this. Looking back on the past, Ning Shan was equally unbearable to look back.
"Mom! I didn't understand before, but now I understand. People can't live just for themselves! I have brought too much shame to you in the past. If I can't wash away these shame with my own hands, maybe my future Living with self-blame for half your life is even more painful than death.”
"Yao Ting, Mom understands your thoughts, but... Bailong Snow Mountain is really too dangerous, Mom can't..."
"Mom! Don't underestimate your son! Bailong Snow Mountain is dangerous, but your son is not a piece of paper. I promise you that I will take good care of you and come back to see you regularly. If possible, I will also take you to Divine Thunder City to show you the majesty of your son, the Lord of Divine Thunder City!"
Ning Shan sobbed for a moment, looked up at Wandong, and asked quietly, "Are you telling the truth, are you trying to make your mother happy?"
Hearing Ning Shan's words, he was obviously relieved. Wandong was overjoyed and hurriedly patted his chest and said, "Of course not! It can take as long as one year or as short as half a year. I will take my mother to the Divine Thunder City."
Ning Shan rolled her eyes at him and said, "That's not what Mom said. Mom wants you to promise that you will take good care of yourself."
Wan Dong felt warm in his heart, and squatted down holding Ning Shan's arm. He smiled and said with a bit of coquettishness: "Of course, mother! Mother can't let go of the child, and the child can't let go of you, mother."
Wan Dong and Ning Shan were deeply in love with each other as mother and son, and did not notice at all that Wan Youqi, who was standing beside her, felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Not only did her originally calm expression suddenly change, but her whole body started to tremble.
"It's so similar! How come it's so similar?" Wan Youqi's heart felt like it was boiling, and she could no longer calm down.
The way Wan Dong held Ning Shan's arm and squatted in front of Ning Shan, as well as the look in his eyes when he looked at Ning Shan, and even what Wan Dong said to Ning Shan were all in line with the scene in Wan Youqi's mind , almost perfectly overlapped together.
It's just that the protagonists in Wan Youqi's mind are her and Wan Dong.
That was also a separation. This was how Wan Dong coaxed her. It was exactly the same as the scene before her. In front of Wan Youqi's eyes, it was like a reappearance of the scene.
This is a coincidence... This must be a coincidence... But is it really such a coincidence... Could it be... But...
Wan Youqi's heart was completely messed up. In his eyes, Xu Yaoting's figure kept shaking and changing. Slowly, the person standing in front of him was no longer Xu Yaoting, but the living Wan Dong. The voice and smile were so real, right before her eyes, that Wan Youqi couldn't help but not believe it.
"Xiaodong!" Wan Youqi's mind suddenly heated up, and she finally blurted out a cry.
Wan Youqi's call stunned Xu Wenchuan and Ning Shan, but Wan Dong was severely startled.
Looking back blankly, Wan Youqi had tears streaming down her face, staring straight at Wan Dong with her eyes, refusing to look away again.
Wan Dong's heart beat wildly. Could it be that Wan Youqi recognized him? But how is this possible? He is not disguised, but has completely merged with Xu Yaoting. Not to mention that Wan Youqi is just an ordinary warrior in the mortal world. Even if she is a powerful person in the Taoist world, she can't tell.
Just when Wan Dong was feeling a little panicked, Wan Dong in Wan Youqi's eyes suddenly disappeared and turned into Xu Yaoting's appearance again.
"No!" Wan Youqi hurriedly reached out and grabbed Wan Dong, trying to keep Wan Dong here, but her grasp was in vain and she staggered.
"Youqi, what's wrong with you?" Wan Youqi's abnormal behavior startled Xu Wenchuan, and he hurriedly asked.
Wan Dong completely disappeared from Wan Youqi's eyes, as if Wan Youqi's heart had also been taken away, leaving her with only the pain of emptiness and the sadness of disappointment. In an instant, Wan Youqi felt as if her heart was ashen, as if the whole world had lost its color and became dull.
"No... nothing? I'm sorry, I may be a little tired, I... I want to rest first." Wan Youqi murmured, the sadness and desolation in her voice made people heartache.
Xu Wenchuan hurriedly shouted, "Come here! Take General Wan down to rest. Youqi, you have experienced too many things during this trip to Yunzhong City. You should take good care of yourself."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty." Wan Youqi thanked Xu Wenchuan, her sad eyes turned around Wan Dong's body several times, and then she slowly left with a heart filled with sadness.
Looking at Wan Youqi's back, Xu Wenchuan sighed and murmured, "It's really difficult for her to bear so much at such a young age. Yaoting, if you have a chance in the future, you must help her more."
After Xu Wenchuan finished speaking, he couldn't get a response from Wandong for a long time. He turned his attention to Wandong strangely, and saw Wandong standing there blankly, motionless as if his acupuncture points had been tapped. . Xu Wenchuan could tell at a glance the change in expression on his face. Wan Dong must be extremely uneasy in his heart at this moment.
This is exactly the case!
Wan Youqi's "Xiaodong" and the lonely and sad look in her eyes when she left were like invisible whips, lashing Wan Dong's heart so hard that he felt The pain was so painful that I choked on it.
This is the whipping of his conscience. No matter how painful it is, Wandong can only bear it!
Wan Youqi has been Wandong's mother since he was a child, giving him all the love. But now, knowing clearly what kind of pain Wan Youqi is suffering, he stubbornly refuses to tell the truth, refuses to recognize Wan Youqi, and watches her suffer in the whirlpool of pain.
Wan Dong thought that since he was sending gold and magic weapons, he would feel better. Wan Youqi's tearful call completely shattered his self-righteousness. No matter how many things he gives away, how can they make up for Wan Youqi's affection for him
No matter how precious the golden magic weapon is, it has a price, but feelings are priceless! Thinking that he had used valuable things like the Golden Magic Weapon to measure Wan Youqi's love for him, and yet he was so calm and calm, Wan Dong wanted to slap himself twice.
"Asshole! I am the biggest bastard in the world!" Wandong cursed angrily in his heart, and all his previous worries suddenly disappeared.
"Yao Ting, did you hear me?" Xu Wenchuan frowned. What's going on? First it was Wan Youqi, and now even his precious grandson is acting a little weird... (To be continued)
