In the western suburbs of the imperial capital, the Yongling Manor was peaceful at night.
In a room, Xie Ning'er was looking at the magic video machine that had finished broadcasting in a daze. Behind her was the old housekeeper Gu. His eyes looking at Xie Ning'er were full of worry. He stopped talking several times, and then turned into a few words.
An inaudible sigh.
He looked at his watch and saw that it had been several hours. The young lady stood there motionless, not knowing what she was thinking.
Xie Ning'er, who had been silent for a long time, reached out and turned off the magic camera, but then she spoke softly.
"Qi'er Shuang'er's elemental enlightenment was temporarily suspended, and she ordered all the demon war retainers belonging to the family to immediately go north to participate in the war. The mistress of the family is still fighting for the empire on the front line. How can the Xie family's retainers in the far north fight in a life-and-death battle?
Stand by and watch."
Her voice was full of determination.
…
Old housekeeper Gu was stunned, and his expression began to be filled with pride.
He responded loudly, but heard the young lady in front of him continue to say softly: "Uncle Gu, you go and lead them. If... something goes wrong, the only mission of all the retainers of the Xie family in the far north is changed to, at all costs
, cover the young lady’s retreat!”
"yes!"
Old Butler Gu replied loudly again.
"Send two people to prepare a ship at Dijin Port. Once...immediately send Qi'er Shuang'er and the old lady to the Southern Continent. They are loyal allies of the empire. They are there, with such valuable status and such geniuses.
Soul descendants, no one dares to bully them."
Xie Ning'er murmured again.
"Okay, Miss, then you..."
Old Butler Gu responded respectfully, and then he seemed to remember something and asked in a low voice, but he seemed hesitant to speak.
…
"The Xie family has a son, and we can comfort our ancestors. As for me... I originally wanted to research the barbarian magic patterns. But it is too difficult. It is completely different from our civilization system, and I have been unable to make a breakthrough..."
Xie Ning'er's expression suddenly turned gloomy.
"I...I'm tired..."
She murmured softly, tiredly.
"Miss, don't you want to..." Old Butler Gu's expression suddenly changed.
"Needless to say, just do as you are told. I will go north with Mo Zhan's retainers to accompany my sister-in-law. I am also Mo Zhan."
Xie Ning'er said softly.
"no!"
But Old Butler Gu's expression suddenly became intense, and he shouted almost reflexively.
…
"why not?"
Xie Ning'er looked at him with confusion and sharpness: "This is the final battle for the empire's survival... Teachers and students from major universities in the empire, as long as they are still or within the appropriate age range, as long as they are fighting against the devil
, they all resolutely gave up their studies. They boarded the train heading north to reinforce the front line. Why couldn't I do it when it was my turn? Have you forgotten the Xie family's family motto? And the Xie family in the far north only had Imperial County who died in battle.
host!"
But old housekeeper Gu had tears streaming down his face.
He wanted to speak several times, but seemed to not know how to express it. He thought again and again, but suddenly his eyes lit up: "Miss, I know all this. The empire is indeed very dangerous this time, and we are no better than ordinary people. We know those dangers -
-This is exactly where our rights and responsibilities lie. The more we know, the more we must resist. The higher the status, the greater the responsibility. This is the family motto of my Xie family, and it is also the most important part of our great Chinese civilization and tradition.
The noble part!”
he murmured.
…
Immediately, his expression began to become solemn.
"But you have to think about the young master and young lady. They are still too young to live without your care and guidance. Although the young master and young lady already have the glorious soul of the Xie family in the far north, aren't you afraid that they will grow up?"
Empress, will she either become a playboy, or even become a person who relies on her strength to act recklessly?"
"The Xie family has never been afraid of sacrifice, but what the Xie family inherits from generation to generation is not just blood and sacrifice, but also strength and glory! We must also leave the seeds! Know what is the true seed of the Xie family! Pass on the glory of the family from generation to generation.
The seeds that go down! And the glory of my Xie family must be taught by the elders of the Xie family personally, so that it can be passed down from generation to generation!"
"The young master and the young lady cannot become scum who have power but do not know the glory of the Xie family. They will naturally have a bright future, strength and glory in the future, but they must grow up to know blood and sacrifice and inherit the glory of our Huanghuang family.
Towering trees! Otherwise, our ancestors will curse us, saying that we have ruined our family’s last hope!”
He said in succession.
…
Xie Ning'er was stunned. She seemed to be at a loss.
When Old Butler Gu saw this, his expression was greatly changed, and he kept talking.
"And the old lady, what if... how could she bear the pain of her beloved son, daughter, and daughter-in-law leaving her at the same time? The sacrifice made by the Marquis back then has made the old lady feel depressed, and her health is getting worse."
"Now, she only places all her thoughts on you few. Now that she is finally feeling better, could it be that... Miss, the old lady will not be able to bear it! And once the old lady cannot withstand such a huge blow and let go, the little lady will
Who else can the young master and the young lady learn from? Who can they expect to take care of them?"
He kept admonishing.
"I……"
Xie Ning'er's expression finally became hesitant.
"Let me think about it again...Uncle Gu, please go prepare other things first..."
She said in a low voice.
Old housekeeper Gu looked at the girl in front of him with pity. He bowed silently and walked out slowly.
He closed the door gently, thought for a moment, and then hurriedly walked down to the second floor where Zhao lived.
…
Not long after, the gentle conversation between Mr. Zhao and Mr. Gu could be heard on the second floor.
"so……"
She was asking softly.
"Well...Miss will probably agree and won't think about going..." Old Butler Gu replied in a low voice.
Ms. Zhao nodded slowly, and a blush suddenly appeared on her increasingly withered face.
"Ancestors...please forgive my wife for being so selfish..."
she murmured.
"They thought I didn't know. Xiao Ning'er still wanted to hide it from me... But my Ning'er, how could I not know about the meat that fell from my stomach... I guessed it..."
She kept murmuring, tears slowly falling from her face that was once again full of sorrow.
…
"Grandma, what's wrong with you?"
The two little people in her arms who were playing with each other suddenly raised their heads and asked.
"Nothing, nothing." Mrs. Zhao was surprised, but she kept wiping the tears on her face.
"Grandma has sand in her eyes, Qi'er Shuang'er, come and help me blow it out." She looked at the two little people and said with a smile.
When the two little people heard this, they immediately raised their cheeks and blew hard into grandma's eyes.
After they blew the sand out of her eyes with seriousness on their faces, Ms. Zhao hugged them and kissed them again and again.
"So good..."
She kept mumbling.
…
"Grandma, please don't be unhappy...my brother and I already know our father and mother. As long as they come back, we will call them to make them happy."
The little girl in her arms seemed to be a bit smart, and she knew that grandma had not got sand in her eyes. She thought about it for a while, then took out a photo from her pocket and held it up to Mrs. Zhao's eyes. She said with a little pride on her face.
.
Zhao's eyes narrowed, and she silently studied the photo.
It seemed to be taken by Xie Ning before he was ordered to go to the far north. In the lens, the young man was dressed in a straight general's uniform, and his face had a sly and proud smile that seemed to have started after the soul awakened.
"Look, the one wearing beautiful clothes is his father, and the one wearing beautiful skirt is mother. Shuang'er even remembers their appearance."
But the little girl said in a sweet voice. It was like offering a treasure, using her chubby little fingers to touch the two young men and women in the photo who were snuggling sweetly and smiling slightly.
…
"I also know, and I also know that my sister doesn't know that what my father wears is not beautiful clothes, but a general's uniform. My father is Yongwu of the Empire, the youngest general in the empire! Qi'er will also be a general when he grows up."
The little boy immediately shouted unconvinced, but he winked at the little girl opposite him who was in grandma's other arm.
The two little guys gradually began to glare at each other.
"Good...good...good to my two sweet darlings. They are so good..."
Mrs. Zhao looked at the two little guys lovingly, and she kept wiping away the tears that burst out again: "At that time, your father and mother will be very happy and proud of you."
…
"But when will they come back?"
The little boy suddenly looked proud when he heard this, but he also asked in a confused voice.
Zhao's expression suddenly froze.
"They are coming back soon. They are fighting against those hateful barbarian invaders for the motherland and for you. They will come back after this war is over."
she murmured.
She looked at the heroic young man in the photo who was proudly hugging the girl, and suddenly burst into tears again.
"Have you seen, my son... your child is no worse than you, and will definitely be like you in the future... just like you..."
Mrs. Zhao stretched out a few trembling fingers and carefully touched the heroic face of the young man in the photo.
"You must be well underground...but also protect your child's mother, keep her from harm, let her retire as soon as possible, and let her come back to take care of your Qi'er and Shuang'er. Also protect your sister.
, let her stop thinking about going to the front line, and let her stay with me more, I can't live without her..."
She murmured, already crying.
…
What the people downstairs didn't know was that the girl upstairs also had the same photo in front of her.
She stared longingly at the young man in the photo, leaning against the wall and sitting weakly on the ground.
Tears gathered into a river and were already spreading all over the girl's extremely delicate and flawless face.
"Brother..."
She murmured softly.
"Why are you... so willing to leave us so cruelly..."
"I miss you so much...I'm so tired...What should I do..."
"If you were here... how good would you inherit the glory of the Xie family... why..."
"You were supposed to have a future as bright as a star, but why did you... suddenly fall to the earth..."
The girl choked and murmured, and she began to cry heavily.
The thin choking sound seemed to be endless in the dark night, and the sound echoed in the empty room.
…
What no one knew was that under the deep dark night, in the distant sky, an unusually bright star in the bright starry sky was looking at them.
It flashes brightly, cunningly, proudly, and tenderly.
And...crossing the distant starry sky, breaking through the barriers of planes, what is coming...
Light.(To be continued..)
