Thousands of years ago, the world was full of strife, frequent wars, and people were struggling to live. It was an era of extreme suffering. At that time, the master founded the Confucian School to educate the people, to promote goodwill, and to govern the country with benevolence. The purpose was only for the world to be peaceful and the people to live in peace, but he never thought that after a thousand years, the existence of the Confucian school would become a matter of some people fighting for power and interests, provoking disputes. of
tool.
The existence of the Confucian sect has now completely changed in quality, rotten to the core, and no longer the original intention of the past.
The Master was disappointed and even more heartbroken. He taught the people, but he still couldn't erase the selfishness and greed of people's hearts. The strife in the world became more and more fierce, and the troubled times a thousand years ago finally reappeared.
Xia Ziyi came, and after transcending the calamity, her breath became a lot calmer, she walked to the wooden house, paused, and knocked gently on the door.
"Come in," the master said.
Xia Ziyi pushed in the door, looked at the extremely old man in front of him, and bowed respectfully.
"Master"
It was not the first time that the two met, but Xia Ziyi was the first to really know the Master.
Not many people know the identity of the master, and even each generation of Xia Huang may not know it, such as Xia Rui.
As for the others, even less was known. Ning Chen was also mistaken. Based on some clues, he guessed a few points by himself. Later, he was able to confirm that the master of the academy was the master of a thousand years ago.
Xia Ziyi has a special status. She originally wanted to inherit the position of the head of the Confucian Sect of Taishi Gong. Now she has become the emperor of Daxia. With dual identities, every move will have a decisive impact on the future of Daxia.
"Ziyi came to pay homage to you, and I'll take Ning Chen back by the way" Xia Ziyi said clearly.
"He's by the Lingbo Pond behind the academy," the master replied.
"Thank you, Master, now is an eventful season with many political affairs, so Ziyi will leave first." Xia Ziyi bowed again and said goodbye.
"En." The Master nodded slightly and replied.
Xia Ziyi turned around and left, and just as she was about to step out the door, the Master's voice came again, exhorting, "Remember, no matter what happens in the future, don't lose your heart."
Xia Ziyi nodded and walked away immediately.
Behind the academy, by the Lingbo Pool, a plain white figure sat in a wheelchair, quietly looking at the beautiful figure in the pool, motionless, as if he had been sitting for a long time.
Xia Ziyi came over, glanced at the woman in Lingbo Pool, and said, "How is she?"
"Master said, I will wake up," Ning Chen said with a warm arc on the corner of his mouth.
"Go back?" Xia Ziyi asked.
"Let's go." Ning Chen retracted his gaze, turned around the wheelchair, and walked forward slowly.
"Thank you." Xia Ziyi stepped forward to push the wheelchair and sighed softly.
"It's the same sentence, between you and me, saying thank you is too outrageous," Ning Chen said.
"kindness"
Xia Ziyi responded and walked forward while explaining the current situation in detail.
Ning Chen listened quietly. During the time he was injured, he didn't know much about the outside world, so he must have missed a lot of news.
"The fall of Wushuang City was too sudden, and now it has become the rear of the four-pole army. I think, it will not be long before the four-pole realm will fully dispatch troops" Xia Ziyi said with worry in his eyes.
"It's really bad, it's really not the right time for you to sit on the throne of Xia Huang," Ning Chen said.
"My friend is still in the mood to joke?" Xia Ziyi said helplessly.
"It's not that I haven't encountered a worse situation. The matter has come to this point, it's useless to worry about it, let's take it step by step" Ning Chen calmed down and replied. "That's the only way." Xia Ziyi nodded and said that all the Northern Mongolian troops who listened to the moon had already hit Luoyue City. After Luoyue City, it was Daxia Imperial City. However, in the end, Daxia survived. Fortunately, It's okay, it's a fluke, Daxia
If you survive the first time, you will definitely survive the second time.
The academy and the Great Xia Imperial City are not too far away. Xia Ziyi pushed her wheelchair and seemed to be walking very slowly, but in the eyes of ordinary people, she could only see a shadow, and in the blink of an eye, she disappeared.
It didn't take long before the two of them arrived at the imperial city. After a disaster, the Daxia Imperial City was still prosperous, but there was a strange atmosphere everywhere.
When the people saw Xia Ziyi, their eyes were different, some were grateful, some hated, and even more fearful.
Those who were rescued showed gratitude, and those who were affected by the thunder calamity, with hidden resentment, lowered their heads and left in a hurry.
Xia Ziyi didn't say anything, just pushed the wheelchair forward silently.
Looking at the various expressions in the eyes of the people that could not be concealed, Ning Chen sighed deeply. The most complicated thing in the world is the human heart. There are thousands of kindnesses, and many times, they are no match for the loss of one's own interests, and even a simple gossip. .
"Don't worry about it," Ning Chen said.
"Yes," Xia Ziyi nodded.
The two walked away all the way to the palace, ignoring the gazes along the way, how could their perseverance be easily shaken.
In the Hall of Heavenly Mandate, Xia Ziyi handed over the book from Guang Luqing and the secret report from Tai Lisi together.
Ning Chen took it, and after reading it, he asked seriously, "What do you think?" "Uncle Huang has executed many officials, this is definitely true, and some court officials reacted violently to this, I believe Uncle Huang I didn't kill innocent people indiscriminately, but, if things go on like this, the opposition from the DPRK and China will definitely become more violent." Xia Ziyi worriedly said.
.
"In troubled times, Prince Hua has done a good job. As for the voice of the court, Ziyi, sometimes a butcher's knife is more useful than appeasement," Ning Chen said seriously. The reason for the opposition in the DPRK is actually very simple. The actions of Prince Hua have harmed their interests. Once the disaster victims were resettled, so many interest chains were involved. It is conceivable that these courtiers in the DPRK under their command how not
clean.
Xia Ziyi fell silent, carefully considering what the former said.
At this moment, a notification sound came from outside the hall, and he respectfully said, "Report to Your Majesty, please see the Yi County Master."
"Please come in." Xia Ziyi recovered and said.
"Yes" The guard took the order, and immediately went down to pass the message.
Hearing the three words of Yi County Master, Ning Chen quickly remembered the appearance of that unruly County Master. Before he knew it, nearly four years had passed, and time had passed so quickly.
"See Your Majesty, Lord Wuhou" Xia Nianyi came over, knelt down and saluted.
"Nianyi doesn't need to be polite, you can just call eldest brother." Xia Ziyi stepped forward to support the former and said softly.
"The ritual cannot be abandoned, and Nianyi cannot exceed the ritual," Xia Nianyi said respectfully.
"County Lord, long time no see" Ning Chen looked at the woman in front of him and said with emotion.
"Master Wuhou, Nianyi is courteous," Xia Nianyi said with a salutation again.
The appearance of the woman in front of her has not changed much from the past, but the unruly aura of the past has completely disappeared, and her manners are more dignified, but a little less spiritual.
The transformation of Peerless City made the former unruly county master grow up completely in one day. Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, no one could tell.
Ning Chen sighed a lot in his heart, he knew very well that from now on, the Yi County Master he once knew was no longer there.
"Nianyi, you know the best situation in Wushuang City, can you tell us more about it?" Xia Ziyi asked.
"Well, that day..."
Xia Nianyi told the two of them carefully bit by bit what they saw that day. Even if they were separated by a few days, the blood-stained scenes still seemed to be right in front of them.
Listening to Xia Nianyi's remarks, Xia Ziyi fell silent, her heart extremely heavy.
The eleven innate talents only appeared in Peerless City, and the situation in front of them was so difficult.
"Please also ask your majesty to avenge the father and king." Xia Nianyi knelt down and bowed deeply, holding back the sadness in her heart, and pleaded.
"Ning Chen, you have been to the Four Pole Realm, what can you do?" Xia Ziyi turned her head and asked. Ning Chen pondered for a moment, and immediately said, "If I am not wrong, the Four Pole Realm should have been unified now, so there are so many innate talents for him to send, but there must be people in the Four Pole Realm who oppose the war between the two realms. , these people will be me
The key point for us to win over." "In addition, there will definitely be many hidden innate powerhouses in Daxia's sect, and you can send someone to invite them. As long as they are willing to take action, the conditions can be negotiated. The means are fierce, and Peerless City is the best example.
These sects should all understand the truth that lips are dead and teeth are cold. Of course, if there are stubborn people, there is no need to stay any longer. Cijiantian Pavilion, one is a barren city, Cijiantian Pavilion is adjacent to Daxia, it is very powerful, and it is a very good target to win over, as for the barren city," Ning Chen paused, lightly
Sighing, "Look for another chance."
Xia Ziyi nodded and said, "Cijian Tiange and the various factions in the southeastern border of Daxia, I will send people to contact them. For the Siji realm, I will ask my friends."
"En." Ning Chen replied, "I'll go back to the Hou's Mansion first. The King of Calamity is narrow-minded and may come again at any time. Now that the dean is no longer there, the safety of the imperial city is a big issue, and it must be done as soon as possible. solve"
"I will summon the commanders of the Confucian Sect to come back. With the help of the Confucian Sect's Trapped Heaven Array, the safety of the imperial city should be safe for the time being," Xia Ziyi replied.
Ning Chen thought for a while, but didn't say anything, turned the wheelchair and left.
Knowing the Marquis Mansion, when Ning Chen returned, the old butler hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, bowing and salute.
"You don't need so much etiquette in the mansion. In the past few days, can someone come to me?" Ning Chen asked.
"Yes, one is Miss Meng, and the other is a young man with red clothes and red hair. However, they both left after seeing that Lord Hou was not there," the old butler hurriedly replied.
"Where's Ning Xi?" Ning Chen looked around, but didn't see Ning Xi, who had always been restless, came out to greet him, so he couldn't help but ask strangely.
"The princess has been called into the palace, and she won't be back until later," the old butler said.
Hearing this, Ning Chen nodded slightly, but he didn't go to the Weiyang Palace to greet her for a while. He promised Xiao Mingyue to see her, but he still hasn't fulfilled it.
"Send someone to ask Mr. Taili"
Ning Chen suppressed the thoughts in his heart and commanded aloud.
"Yes." The old butler respectfully accepted the order, and immediately turned to leave.
