On June 12, the third day after returning to Chengdu, there was still a meeting.
The morning is almost over. The second session of the meeting is a summary report of the merits reported on various battlefields and the list of honors to be awarded—this is a meeting that he only needs to listen to, and does not need to speak much, but drinking hot tea, still Ning Ji's third-class merit report was found from the list.
The summary of military merits and honors began shortly after the end of the war. In the six-month war, there are countless stories before the war, logistics, and behind enemy lines. Some heroes have even died long ago. The story will not be wiped out, and the active struggle of the military in the performance is encouraged.
After nearly a month of comparisons, the overall list has now been finalized. After listening to the summary and a few gossips, Ning Yi nodded to the list and said only to Ning Ji's name: "This three If the work fails, let's do the rest."
The people below looked at each other, and after hesitating for a while, Li Yi, the chief of the general staff on the side, said: "Ning Ji's third-class merit has been discussed internally several times, and we think it is appropriate. We were originally going to declare it to him as second-class. , he killed a lot of enemies in this battle, including the Jurchen centurion, won two puppet army generals, killed the scouts of the golden man, and even rescued a regiment that fell into danger in one battle. He was injured several times... It's more than that. He was in the medical team, with superb medical skills and saved a lot of people. Many soldiers remember him... "
While talking, Li Yi picked out a stack of files from under the table and handed it to Ning Yi.
After the end of the Southwest War, Ning Yi and Qu Zhengyan quickly went to Hanzhong. After more than a month after the war, Li Yi presided over most of the specific work. He had obviously considered Ning Ji's merits for a long time. Ning Yi took the file and looked at it, then pressed his forehead.
"He's only thirteen years old, and he has killed more than 20 people just from this. If he was given a third-class merit, he wouldn't be in heaven..."
"This is killing the enemy..."
"Yeah, what a hero does..."
"To encourage..."
A group of people started chattering, Ning Yi's eyes swept over, Hou Wudao, who was in charge of the rear: "Actually, the militiamen in the back also reported the third-class merit of two children, and one of them found a large number of deserters, and quickly warned the police, and later picked it up. The iron fork killed one, and he was about the same age as Ning Ji..."
"Yeah, in fact, there are thirteen or fourteen-year-olds in the countryside who have come out to be the masters..."
"… "
Ning Yi rubbed his forehead, feeling a little tired: "Okay, others who have made meritorious deeds are all killed in the Jedi. He is a thirteen-year-old child, and his record is beautiful, but in fact he follows an elite team. In distress at the back, several military medical masters first protected him. When he arrived at the front line, he either followed the military medical general camp or the elite team led by Zheng Qiming. He made merit because of the people around him, and his comrades died. , more or less can't get rid of him. He can't take credit for this."
Then he crossed out Ning Ji's name:
"Whoever has an opinion, come to me again."
…
There were four meetings in one morning.
At noon, Ning Xi came over. The young man who turned 18 at the end of March this year was dressed in a black military uniform. He was tall and straight. He was at a vigorous age. The father and son sat together for lunch. Ning Xi first explained the work situation in charge of more than a month, and then I exchanged some food experiences with my father, and finally mentioned the matter of Ning Ji.
"...Second brother was withdrawn from the front line in early May. I would like to persuade him to return to the school as you said, but the aftermath of the various parties has not been completed, and he refused. Re-enter school... At that time, he was still in the mood to challenge my wits and courage with me, but then my mother arranged for Aunt Chan to take him to visit Dr. Yan Biaoyan and the families of several other soldiers who died. Dad, you know, the atmosphere is not good , after he came back, he was somewhat affected..."
"Is it a big influence?"
"I don't know, it's just a little reticent and unhappy."
"The second child was quieter than you before."
"No, Dad, he's the kind of taciturn person who has something on his mind. Think about it, he is a fourteen-year-old child, even if he sees a lot of blood on the battlefield, what he sees is an impassioned side. It is the first time he officially contacts the family behind him. The issue of placement has something to do with him... It must be uncomfortable in my heart."
"Where is it now?"
"I'm still a military doctor. Didn't the primary elections for the martial arts conference start recently? I'm arranged to be a doctor at the venue and watch people fight every day."
"He didn't say he wanted to participate?"
"Father, this is very strange. I thought so too at first. He must want to join in with this kind of lively Xiaoji, and he has made a juvenile fight. But I didn't persuade him this time. He figured it out by himself. He took the initiative to say he didn't want to participate, I arranged for him to be treated in the stadium for treatment, and he didn't show much excitement, so I put a cold butt on my hot face..."
"and then?"
"We talked a few times, but there was only one thing, the second brother was quite happy."
"… "
"Military Medal, Dad."
"...I didn't expect you to come here first to give your opinion."
Ning Xi's eyes were clear in front of the wooden table, and Ning Yi looked at him with a smile.
I just heard Ning Xi say: "Second brother's contribution to the front line this time was indeed taken out of the knife with his life. Originally, the second-class merit was not too much, but considering that he is your son, he was pressed to the third-class. Now, this credit is a recognition for him for more than a year. Dad, he killed so many enemies and killed so many comrades around him. If he can stand on the stage once and stand with others to get a medal, it will be a great deal to him. recognition.”
Ning Xi's temperament is cheerful, and the small talk at the beginning was a little joking, but when it comes to this serious matter, her words and expressions are also serious. Seeing that Ning Yi nodded, but did not speak, he continued to add.
"Father, you took away his credit this time. I can guess the general idea. First, you are afraid of gossip from below. Second, it is also to protect him. Or maybe you're worried about...something else."
When he said this, he clasped his hands lightly, and thoughtfully said, "For example... you may worry that after he enters the field of view of others, some people with intentions... not only want to harm him, but may also have scheming and provocation on him. …some people carry, not even hostility, but kindness…”
Ning Xi's words were slow, and he was obviously thinking carefully about his words. Ning Yi, who had been watching him, picked up his chopsticks and laughed, "Also... Politics, mind tricks, and the study of emperors, you have been in touch for a while... "
"Father, I am confident that the children of the Ning family will never fight in these areas. I know that you have always hated these things, and you have always hated getting us involved in these things, but since our surname is Ning, some trials are ultimately What you have to go through... The military merit badge is what the second brother deserves, I think even if there are hidden dangers, there are still many benefits, so... I hope you can think about it.”
After he finished speaking, he pursed his lips, looking very sincere.
After a moment of silence in the room, Ning Yi took a bite of the dish and raised his head: "What if I still refuse?"
"The reason you dismissed the medal in the morning is that the second brother's credit is not worthy of the name, and it has taken too much light from his comrades in arms. Then I also participated in this credit, and I did many inquiries and records. As a big brother, I want to win for him. , as the person who handled it, I have this right, I want to file a petition and ask for a review of the opinion of withdrawing the third-class merit, and I will invite people back and let them testify for the second brother again."
Ning Yi nodded and smiled: "Then go to appeal."
"If my appeal is successful, you have to admit it."
"uncertain,"
"Then I will appeal too."
After the father and son finished talking about their business affairs and ate the rest of the meal, Ning Xi mentioned a few recent interesting things before leaving, probably to get third-class merit for his younger brother.
It's not past noon, and there is bright sunshine falling in the courtyard outside. This is the midsummer in Chengdu, but it is not hot, and the climate is warm and pleasant. Ning Yi walked in the courtyard for a while, and moved a chair to sit under the huge golden nanshu tree on the side of the courtyard. The rays of light fell on his hands through the shade of the tree.
"It's not hot in summer, just like fake..."
Looking at the light falling from his hand, he murmured something. In retrospect, Chengdu, where he stayed in his last life, seems to be a little hotter than it is now? But the memory of the temperature has been blurred in the distance and can't be remembered.
At this moment, I felt a little emotional, recalling the past. On the one hand, it was naturally because of Ning Xi that he had no children in his past life. Teaching and nurturing children was also a new experience for him. Xi is actually eighteen years old. Thinking about this body is not yet forty years old, suddenly she has a feeling of old age.
And the most important thing is because of the paragraph in Ning Xi's words "You always hate to get us involved in these things", this should be what Tan'er told him, but more or less, let him talk about it at this time. The mood is a little complicated.
Under the shade of the tree, the light and shadow are uneven. He recalled the state of mind when he first arrived in Jiangning. Twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye. At that time, he thought with a tired mind to calm down in this unfamiliar dynasty, and then he found this quiet. The spring rain in Jiangning, the sound of cicadas, the sound of chess on the banks of the Qinhuai River, the awning boat on the water, the ruts on the snow in winter, the simple and foolish people around me... I originally wanted to live like this for a lifetime.
Now that he has come to this situation again... He looked at the light and shadow on his palm, and couldn't help but feel a little funny... After more than ten years of wars, hard work again and again, up to now, he still holds meetings and receives people like this all day long. The reason is that All clearly. But to be honest, I didn't plan to do that in the first place.
Thinking about it in his mind, he was mostly tired, followed by ridicule and rants about himself, so he wouldn't be confused about it. But there are indeed some things in it, which he is very taboo and wants to avoid subconsciously: I hope that the children in the family will not be affected too much and can have their own paths.
Most of his actions are rational, and with such a perceptual tendency, only Tan'er, Yunzhu and others in the family can see clearly. And as long as he returns to the level of reason, Ning Yi also knows that it is impossible for them to not be influenced by him at this point. Therefore, Tan'er and others teach Ning Xi how to control the family, Ning Yi does not reject how to conduct research, how to understand the human world, and even mix some emperor's knowledge.
Even if he is not the emperor, Ning Xi will not be able to become the prince, but as the successor of the Ning family's power, most of the burden will fall on his shoulders. Fortunately, Ning Xi is sensible and has a temperament like water. In most cases , Even if he is gone, it is not a big problem for him to protect the safety of his family.
But for the next few children, Ning Yi more or less wanted to erect a fence for them, at least not allow them to enter an area similar to Ning Xi.
The boss can basically understand the reasons for not giving the second military medals. Although I will not be the emperor, but ruling for a period of time is inevitable, it is difficult for most external and even internal personnel to clearly believe in such a concept before a new power transition is officially carried out. Even if Xi has no name for a period of time, he will be regarded as the "Prince" by those who are interested, and once Ning Ji also enters the front stage strongly, many people will regard him as a competitor of Ning Xi.
External bad intentions are easy to deal with, but once a circle of interests is formed internally, the two children will be affected more or less. Their relationship is strong now, but what about the future? Ning Ji, a fourteen-year-old child, once touted and encouraged by others? Right now, Ning Xi has confidence in everything, and can roughly summarize it verbally, but ah...
How much darkness has an eighteen-year-old young man really seen
Sitting under the tree thinking about all this, he knew that thinking was superfluous, and on the other hand, he couldn't think about it, and he couldn't help but sigh for his own premature aging.
At this time, the city of Chengdu outside must be lively and lively, and merchants, scribes, warriors, and various people with ghosts or good intentions from the outside have all gathered towards the land of Sichuan and Shu.
Several propaganda and debates carrying various ideas in the city have already begun. Ning Yi prepared several newspapers, starting with criticizing the shortcomings of Confucianism and the Wu Dynasty, and promoting the reasons for the victory of the Huaxia Army, and then accepting various rebuttal manuscripts. Day by day, there is a big discussion atmosphere in the city of Chengdu. With this discussion, the framework of the Huaxia military system design has also been released, and it is also subject to criticism and doubts.
The news that the Huaxia Army opened its doors was released at the end of April and early May. Due to the road, all this was only slightly scaled in June. With the first victory against Jin, many scholars, scribes, political aspirants, and conspirators gathered curiously even if they harbored ill will towards the Huaxia Army. The style newspaper has now become a paradise for these people. Yesterday, there were even those with deep pockets who were asking what the asking price for the direct acquisition of a newspaper workshop and skilled workers was. It was probably because the foreign nobles saw the open attitude of the Huaxia Army and wanted to try to establish themselves. mouthpiece.
When someone wanted to come off to play, Ning Yi welcomed it. What he was afraid of was not enough energy and not enough noise. The main line of the Huaxia military regime in the future is to promote the expansion of capital by productive forces. The idea in the middle is only auxiliary. On the contrary, in the lively quarrel, the evolution of productive forces will destroy the old production relations, and new production relations will emerge, thus forcing various supporting facilities. The development and emergence of ideas, of course, it is still too early to say these.
Forum-style newspapers have become a paradise for scribes and elites, and for ordinary people, the most eye-catching is probably the selection of the adult and juvenile groups for the "No. This competition is not just about martial arts. In addition to the ring competition, there are also several events such as long-distance running, long jump, grenade, and Cuju. Some small events have already caused a lot of discussion and pursuit.
In the final analysis, it was the Huaxia Army who defeated the Jin Army this time. In theory, the Huaxia Army is the most capable troop in the world at the moment. It can make a name for itself in the arena of the Huaxia Army. For the warriors of the whole world, I am afraid. would be an attractive thing.
Ning Yi did not have much time to participate in these activities. He only returned to Chengdu on the ninth day of the first year. To grasp the progress of all things in the general direction, he could only participate in boring meetings.
And because he had already defeated Zong Han, he was able to sigh hypocritically in the gaps between these meetings: "Why am I here..."
After sitting in the shade of Jinsinan for a while, there was no time for a nap. There were only two meetings this afternoon. After the second meeting, the Shen Shi was not over yet. Ning Yi asked someone to ask where Ning Ji lived at this time, and then summoned Du Sha to lead the team to leave the station and head over there.
After Ning Yi and others entered Chengdu, they had originally considered the safety issues. The temporarily chosen station was quite secluded. After they came out, there were not many pedestrians on the road, so Ning Yi lifted the curtain to look at the scenery outside. Chengdu is an ancient city. It has been the prefecture and county seat for several dynasties. The Huaxia Army did not cause much damage during the process of taking over. The afternoon sun was shining, the ancient trees on both sides of the road were forested, and some trees in the courtyards were also protruding from the courtyard walls. The branches come, join the leaves and cross the leaves, and merge into a refreshing shade.
Ning Yi watched for a while, and said to Du Sha, "There seem to be fewer people who want to kill me recently?"
Du Sha, who was sitting on the side with the knife behind his back, laughed: "Of course there are, but there are very few who really dare to do it."
"The world is getting worse and worse, and martial arts practitioners are starting to be discouraged. You see, when I was in charge of the Secret Investigation Division, I shook the world..." Ning Yi sighed falsely, waving his sleeves in the style of an old school recalling the past.
Du Sha then also laughed: "At that time, we were still in Miaojiang at the time of the Secret Investigation Division... In fact, according to those people outside, you are now considered to be the situation. It is too late to assassinate, and you will not be able to kill. Now they are making more ideas. Yes, it's still Ning Xi and the others. They don't have many tricks to play against Jurchen, and they are a little reckless. They can't move an inch when they go to the north. I have heard many times recently. There are a lot of whimsical people who came to Chengdu this time.”
Ning Yi has no idea about these whimsical people, and only asks: "Is there anything special about the martial arts people who have come here recently?"
"I haven't heard much about it." Du Sha spent most of these years as a bodyguard for Ning Yi, and his contacts with the outside world became less and less. At this time, he frowned and thought about it. After saying a few names, Ning Yi was mostly unimpressed: "It doesn't sound like a lot of people? What is the world famous like Cui Xiaolu with a red face and a white head..."
Du Sha laughed: "You have lost a lot of the older generation of Green Forest people. In these years, the Central Plains fell to the Jurchen, and many died. Today, many of them are in the battlefield or fleeing. They have the ability to spell it out, but it is different now, and they can't spread a little bit of fame... And you are talking about how many years old Huang Li, before the Shenggong rebelled, that girl Cui was a It is rumored that a girl was betrayed by others, framed again, and then killed the Quartet after a night of whiteheads, is it true
"Ah." Ning Yi paused slightly, "Speaking of the great masters that were rumored back then, she was the only one that I have never seen before. I was looking forward to it all these years. If you say this, we are really old. "
"A new generation replaces the old, not to mention the red face and white head, just say Sheng Gong, Yunlong Jiuxian more than ten years ago, and Sikong Nan who died in the hands of Chen Fan, how many people can remember now? And you As I said before, as soon as the musket came out, the era of the Green Forest was almost over, and what you care about every day is family and national affairs... Why do you suddenly become interested in martial arts again?"
Ning Yi sat upright and smiled: "I was very sentimental back then. When I was in the Secret Investigation Division, I thought about arranging a few hero profiles for them and suppressing the world for decades by the way. Unfortunately, it was a war before it started. Think about it. The name of my bloody human slaughter... It's not loud enough, it was all stolen by a Zhou Zhe. Forget it, you don't understand this kind of feeling."
"...I don't really understand." Du Sha calmly complained, "Actually, when it comes to Lulin, the two ladies in your family are one of the best masters, so you don't need to pay attention to the young people in Chengdu today. In addition, there is Xiao Ningji, According to his current progress, it is very likely that he will overwhelm the green forest and conquer the world in the future.
"Du Sha... Do you think I'm the kind of person who would entrust my children to realize my dreams?"
Ning Yi's face was solemn and serious, Du Sha looked at him and frowned slightly. After a while, the two old men laughed in the car. Ning Yi thought about the feeling of being number one in the world in his early years. Most of the people who were relatively close to him over the years had heard of it. Occasionally, when he was in a good mood, he would come out and talk about it. Said that people such as Du Sha and others would naturally not take it seriously. Occasionally, the atmosphere was harmonious, and they would also laugh at his record of killing Lu Tuo with one move, Fantianyin.
The team walked for half an hour in such an atmosphere, and then approached a courtyard at the east end of the city. In the trees outside the courtyard gate, several soldiers in civilian clothes could be seen guarding there. The people were guards who followed Xigua, and they knew each other. It was obvious that Xigua was visiting the child inside at this time. Someone wanted to go in to report. Ning Yi waved his hand, and then asked Du Sha and the others to wait outside, pushing the door and entering.
The yard where Ning Ji was arranged to live was an abandoned yard that had been abandoned for a long time. It was not luxurious inside, but the space was not small. Besides Ning Ji, the above was going to arrange several other doctors from this competition, just for a while. not placed properly. Ning Yi went in and walked around the front courtyard that had not been completely cleaned, and saw the wood on the other side of the backyard, all split in half by a knife, Ning Ji was sitting under the eaves talking to watermelon.
"... Fighting on the battlefield, slashing out with a single knife, without any effort, to kill the enemy with a single knife, many fancy ideas in the knife technique are ignored. I have tried many times, and I know my father The saber that I built back then was really powerful. It was heavy in the front and light in the back, with an inward arc. Although it didn’t have many tricks, it was very powerful when it was suddenly cut out. I have people throwing wood from around these days. With a sharp eye and a quick hand, he can split it one by one in the air. In this way, he may be able to come up with a set of useful knife techniques... I don't know what my father thought, but he was able to create such a knife... "
What Ning Ji was talking about over there at this time was naturally the dog-leg-like saber that his father had built back then. Ning Yi was comfortable listening to it outside. This knife was built for testing, but since there was no matching practice method, he didn't use it much. Unexpectedly, he won the admiration of his son.
While Ning Ji was talking inside, the watermelon who was not wearing a military uniform and only wore a blue dress shook his head.
"...The battlefield is the battlefield. You have the help of your comrades on the battlefield, and you are fighting for the strongest bloody bravery in a short period of time. Naturally, you will do your best to cut out a knife, but you will also fight against others on the battlefield in the future? The musket is out. , Dijiang also has, what's the use of you as a child practicing the strongest knife? You will encounter Lulin in the future, and there may be dozens of people to assassinate you, even if you can split a person's head with one knife What can you do, other people will kill you as soon as they swarm up!"
Watermelon's face was frosty, and his words were stern: "The more extreme the characteristics of the weapon, the more righteousness and moderation one seeks, the weaker the sword, the more righteousness, the one that only hurts with the sharp edge of the spear, the most suitable offense and defense, the domineering sword, the taboo Whether it can be released or not, this is all the experience of how many years. If a martial artist only asks for the domineering of a sword again and again, and he dies after a few hits, how can there be a future. "cloudy… "
Watermelon has not read much since she was a child, and she has also frowned at those who care about it over the years, but when it comes to swordsmanship, she has an uncompromising master style. I think this is also the foundation laid by her father-in-law Liu Dabiao for her. Ning Yi listened for a while, saw that both of them had found him, and then walked in. Ning Ji got up and saluted, called Dad, but Watermelon just stood up and pursed her lips, as if I haven't finished training my child yet, why are you here to join in the fun.
Ning Yi touched his son's head, only to realize that he hadn't seen him for two months. He seemed to have grown a little taller: "Your aunt Gua's swordsmanship is unparalleled in the world, you still have to listen to her words." This is nonsense. Ning Ji grew up all the way. The experienced masters from Hong to watermelon, from Chen Fan to Du Sha, listened to the training of these people. Relatively speaking, Ning Yi did not have much to teach him directly in terms of martial arts. It can only play a motivating role such as "Fan Tianyin kills Lu Tuo", "Blood-handed man slaughtered Zhou Dong", and "shocks the devil Buddha".
After saying this, after thinking about it, I decided to teach my children some really useful truths.
"But speaking of it, experience can be learned. The principles in the "Dao Jing" must be carefully used and discerned. You must know that things in the world, the more in the early stage of development, the more trouble there will be. People can't understand the statement, but it feels very powerful, so the more it sounds incomprehensible, the more vigilant you should be. On the contrary, the more you study this kind of thing, the more clear the way you can state it, and even just It will only become a collection of data…”
"The same is true of martial arts. What you Aunt Gua reminds you of is that the direction of martial arts should be comprehensive, and don't indulge in one direction, but about how to make the strongest punch and cut the most powerful knife, this kind of exploration is of course It is also useful. After arriving, we may count the exercise of a martial artist from childhood to adulthood. What do you eat, the strength in your hand will become the strongest, what angle do you use to chop, this knife The fastest, but at the same time, we also need to make statistics, how to use these experiences, people have the most agile response, while being agile, we may have to think about it, if we balance it, we must maintain agility and strength while retaining the maximum What is the most reasonable endurance for…”
"At that time, the practice of martial arts was not mysterious at all. So, the problem with "The Book of Swords" is that there are too many mysterious expressions in the middle... Forget it, you just need to remember these first..."
Ning Yi said this, Ning Ji seemed to understand but not understood, his head was nodding, the watermelon on the side flattened his mouth and squinted his eyes, and finally couldn't help it, he came over and put a hand on Ning Ji's shoulder: "Okay, you What kind of swordsmanship do you know, []I teach children here, my father would not dare to say bad things about "The Book of Swords"."
Ning Yi looked at her, then laughed: "I'm not saying that "The Book of Swords" is really bad, but the times are progressing, and everyone's perspective on issues will change."
"It's okay for you to talk nonsense and deceive others outside, but when a child is practicing knives, don't teach him the wrong way!"
"What's wrong with teaching? I also have experience with swordsmanship. Come here and I want to educate you."
Ning Yi smiled and walked aside, waved his hand, and the watermelon walked over: "...what do you think, what do you think..."
"... Back then in Hangzhou, I practiced diligently, made rapid progress, and slashed Tang Kou with one knife..."
"...I can chop ten tangkou with my bare hands..."
"... This matter is not... No, you are bragging, Tang Kou has been dead for so many years, and there is no proof. He was very powerful back then... right... "
Ning Yi and Watermelon faced each other with their backs facing each other.
"...Anyway, you're just teaching children..."
"...What do you know? When it comes to using swords, you may be a little bit better than me, but when it comes to teaching people... Over the years, Hongti and you have been laying the foundation for him, Hongti taught him swordsmanship, and you taught him Swordsmanship, Chen Fan taught him boxing, Du Sha and they taught swordsmanship, Xiaohei had nothing to do with him, thirteen Taibao cross-trained the golden bell jar, Yuwen Feidu also took him to shoot, the other masters are too numerous to count, he Can a child know who to practice with... If I hadn't been teaching him basic discrimination and thinking, he would have been taught by you long ago..."
"...Then you shouldn't slander the "Dao Jing" either... "
"... is to go beyond it to see things above... "
"...and I'm only a little bit better than you with a knife..."
"... the dyeing room is open... singled out... "
"… Ha ha… "
"… tonight… "
"...who is afraid of you..."
"… kill you… "
The sun on the horizon turned into the crimson of the setting sun, the couple on the other side of the courtyard chattered, and the words were scattered. The man even stretched out his finger and touched the top of the woman's chest as a provocation. Ning Ji here waited for a while, and finally turned his head. He walked a little further before opening his mouth.
"Father! Aunt Gua! Listen to my advice!"
The couple turned their heads.
"Let's fight."
The boy made a sincere suggestion.
Ning Yi was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud in the yard under the setting sun, the watermelon's complexion turned red, and then the figure roared, the skirt moved, and the wooden block on the ground flew towards Ning Ji.
"Agua, teach him a lesson."
Ning Yi gave instructions to the thugs in laughter. After that, what happened in the courtyard was a scene of a pair of parents teaching their children earnestly. When the sunset was deeper, the three of them ate together in the courtyard. At dinner, Ning Ji smiled even more.
After dinner, there were still two meetings waiting for Ning Yi in the city. He left the yard and went back to his busy work. Watermelon was here to test Ning Ji's martial arts. He stayed for a long time, and he left just after midnight. He was probably looking for Ning Yi to get back the day-to-day quarrel.
Ning Ji thought about it, and found it very interesting: In recent years, his father has rarely shot in front of others, but his cultivation base and vision are still very high.
