The Great Qin Dynasty wiped out three dynasties including Han, Zhao, and Wei, and a total of thirteen people were enshrined.
These thirteen princes and their subordinates were guarding one side, like thirteen solid foundation stones firmly supporting an unprecedentedly powerful empire. In terms of the entire Great Qin Dynasty, these thirteen princes naturally possessed far more power than ordinary court officials. status.
Their status comes from the countless powerful enemies they have killed, from the countless military exploits they have made, and from the powerful power they possess.
In a sense, they conquered much of the current vast territory of the Great Qin Dynasty, so they should have an extraordinary status.
Therefore, for Changling, they are of course considered dignitaries who can really speak up, and they can express their attitudes and opinions on some things.
This young man belonged to one of the princes, and his appearance at such a time naturally represented the attitude of that prince.
If he belonged to Dugu Hou's Mansion, maybe it was because of Dugu Bai, but he happened to belong to the Hou's Mansion that had the least relationship with Ding Ning.
Reminiscent of Fang Xiumu's departure before the Lushan League, Fang Xing's meridians were broken and his cultivation was completely abolished in the Lushan League, and the Fanghou Mansion was almost in name only. Some people present began to realize that this young man represented all the Houfu. manner.
For many years in the past, although Queen Zheng Xiu had strict control over the entire Changling Mausoleum, she did things extremely fairly and would not cross an invisible line.
Now, all the princes naturally hope that Queen Zheng Xiu can follow her previous principles.
The most important thing is that they don't want to see things happen when all the birds are exhausted.
On Zheng Xiu's attitude towards Baiyangdong, these princes did not express any opinions, but when Xue Wangxu died before the start of the Minshan Sword Festival, these princes began to express their opinions on the matter of Ding Ning and Rong's maid own opinion.
Liu Gongjiang is not a fledgling practitioner, so he knows better than most of the bystanders the meaning of this young man standing up for Ding Ning.
He could take the risk of offending a certain prince's mansion, but he absolutely did not dare to offend all the princes, because some of them had violent temperaments and cruel methods.
His complexion changed continuously and he didn't make a sound.
The handsome young man with long hair turned his head to look at Ding Ning, and said softly, "There is always a step down."
Ding Ning bowed slightly to thank him, then turned to look at General Liu Gong, bowed earnestly, and said, "General, please do it."
Liu Gongjiang was silent for a moment, didn't say anything, just turned around and walked back to his courtyard.
Everyone watched Jing Liuli and Ding Ning enter his courtyard in silence, not understanding what Ding Ning was going to do.
"Do you really want to dig an osmanthus tree back?"
Jing Liuli also doesn't understand what Ding Ning is going to do. In her opinion, if there is no young man who represents the attitude of all the Houfu to rescue him today, Ding Ning's vigor will be greatly damaged. Seeing Ding Ning walking straight towards the sweet-scented osmanthus forest in the backyard, she finally couldn't help asking softly as she followed closely behind Ding Ning.
Ding Ning didn't look back, and responded softly: "Later, you have to put in more effort. When digging that sweet-scented osmanthus tree, you have to dig more soil back at the same time."
Jing Liuli frowned immediately, but she didn't speak any more, just continued to follow behind Ding Ning with her head slightly lowered like a real maid.
However, Ding Ning didn't keep silent on what she didn't expect, but asked after a slight pause: "Through what happened today, what have you learned?"
Jing Liuli was startled, and said: "What?"
"There must always be a word of reason in everything." Ding Ning still didn't turn his head, but said slowly: "Sometimes it's not just that the sword is ruthless enough to be unreasonable. Because most people will worry that such unreasonableness will fall on themselves. .”
…
The sweet-scented osmanthus forest in Liu Gongjiang's mansion is very large, and most of the sweet-scented osmanthus trees are very old.
Perhaps it was precisely because these osmanthus trees were old enough and so rare that General Liu Gong did not change the pattern of this osmanthus forest too much.
Even a small pond in the sweet-scented osmanthus forest has not changed.
It's just that compared with many years ago, some osmanthus trees in this osmanthus forest are a bit thicker.
At this time, the lotus in the pond is in full bloom.
Ding Ning sat down on a stone by the pond, looked at the lotus in silence for a long time, then stood up, kicked the edge of the stone, and whispered to the waiting Jing Liuli: "Pure The circular cut ends here, and the depth is six feet, without damaging the inside, and the roots are smooth."
Jing Liuli seriously thought about the meaning of Ding Ning's words, and then her eyes fell on the osmanthus tree closest to this stone.
This sweet-scented osmanthus tree grows very low, but very strong. It seems that the sweet-scented osmanthus will be in full bloom this autumn.
"Is there any problem with hurting the branches and leaves?"
After counting breaths, she looked at Ding Ning seriously and asked.
Ding Ning glanced at her and said, "No problem."
Jing Liuli's eyes fell on the Mo Hua residual sword at Ding Ning's waist, "You didn't let me carry the sword."
"You don't need my sword."
Ding Ning's eyes fell on the low osmanthus tree, and said: "You can use it as a sword."
Jing Liuli suddenly realized something.
She was silent for a few more breaths, then bowed to Ding Ning and saluted seriously, then turned around, the osmanthus tree in front of her, and then held a twig slanted in front of her.
Like drawing a sword, she pulled the twig upwards.
There were many strange sounds from under the soil, like sharp objects cutting.
But at this moment, her brows were deeply frowned, and she realized that she was still unable to control such sword intent.
So she made an instant change.
The twig snapped off, and it was like a thin sword in her hand.
Then she swung it to the ground below, and all the true energy in her body gushed out.
The twig shook for a moment, but couldn't withstand such a terrifying force and turned into flying ash.
However, at this moment, the twig swings in an arc.
With a snort, a beam of sword light drew a perfect circle along the sweet-scented osmanthus tree and fell into the ground.
Jing Liuli took a step forward, grabbed a twig in an instant, and lifted it up again.
The whole osmanthus tree was pulled out of the ground like a sword out of its sheath, along with a round circle of soil.
There was a light click.
This twig was broken off again by Jing Liuli.
Jing Liuli moved her right wrist slightly and lifted it upwards.
This twig easily cut off the rhizome at the bottom of the soil, and then picked up the whole sweet-scented osmanthus tree and a lump of soil.
Twigs as thick as fingers picked up the heavy soil and sweet-scented osmanthus tree without even bending, but Jing Liuli's feet had sunk slightly into the ground, and the chi-chi sound kept ringing from her sleeves, and her expression was not relaxed. .
"Freedom of heart, freedom of mind. You don't stick to any sword, it is your sword intent. If you have too much confidence in your own sword, you will naturally have the idea of defeating your opponent with a single sword, but this kind of thinking is It may not be in line with the sword intent you have cultivated."
Ding Ning looked at Jing Liuli who was not relaxed, said this sentence slowly and clearly, and then started to move and walked outside.
Jing Liuli was indeed not relaxed, maintaining a strong output of true energy, her body seemed a little stiff, but when she heard the words Ding Ning said, she paused for breath, but bowed to Ding Ning again. After a salute, he started to move, and asked at the same time, "Put it directly in the carriage?"
"Put it directly in the carriage, and I can sit outside."
Ding Ning didn't look back, and said, "Don't hurt the soil."
Don't hurt the soil, it's a strange saying at this time, but at this time, Jing Ruri seems to be able to fully understand what he means.
The people waiting outside Liu Gongjiang's mansion were extremely shocked to see Jing Liuli appearing with a whole osmanthus tree picked up by a twig.
There was a bang.
Before they got used to this scene, the twigs of Joruri who walked to the carriage had already fallen.
This twig easily smashed the carriage, and then continued to gently support the fallen osmanthus tree.
That lump of mud was still a lump of mud, lightly placed on the bottom of the carriage, not even a single piece of mud collapsed.
"The most important thing about a sword is the result. Not just a direct sword means everything goes well. As long as each sword is very comfortable, the final result will also be very comfortable."
Ding Ning glanced at Jing Liuli with satisfaction, and sat down.
He was sitting in front of the tree, and since no soil had spilled, the place where he was sitting was still clean.
