Two thirty in the afternoon.
Ling Ping'an was visiting the exhibition hall of the Centennial War Memorial.
In front of him was a huge metal sculpture.
The sculpture depicted a member of the Shang Dynasty, pulling an ox to plow the fields in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
The material of this sculpture was made from the remains of the cannons that had been destroyed on the battlefields of Beizhou and Nanzhou.
What's more, they used the remains of famous battles.
One battle, pick out a fragment.
Piece by piece, they melted into this metal sculpture that weighed dozens of tons.
The blood of millions of people was mixed in it.
There were those who sacrificed themselves for the righteous, and there were those who sacrificed themselves for the enemy.
"This sculpture was designed by Emperor Gaozong …"
"It implies the spirit of forging swords as plows!"
"Everyone, look … at the inscription at the bottom …" A sweet female voice held a megaphone and introduced, "A weapon of war, a saint has no choice but to use it!"
"This contains Emperor Gaozong's hopes for his descendants!"
"Don't talk about war unless it's absolutely necessary …"
Ling Ping'an listened and nodded to himself.
For an ancient country like the Federal Empire.
Unless absolutely necessary, who would be willing to go to war?
Therefore, after the hundred-year war, the Federal Empire had not taken the initiative to declare war on the outside for more than two hundred years.
There were only a few times when he had to fight passively, but he would leave right after the fight.
Never stop.
Wen Zong's response to Ceylon's crisis was a classic example.
That battle also left behind the famous Six Principles of War.
First: Are the key international order and national security interests threatened?
Second: Do we have a clear and realistic goal?
Third: Have you fully understood and grasped the risks and costs you are facing?
Fourth, are all the other non-violent means ineffective?
Fifth: Has it received widespread support from the people of the Federal Empire?
Sixth: Has it received the support and cooperation of the majority of the international community?
Therefore, under the guidance of these six principles, the peacekeeping forces sent by the central command immediately withdrew from the battle area after completing their mission.
Even the Kingdom of Ceylon used all diplomatic means to persuade him to stay.
The peacekeeping force still resolutely completed the evacuation on time according to the scheduled schedule.
Only a small fleet and aviation unit were surrounded by the people of Ceylon when they were retreating.
He had no choice but to keep it until now.
There was no other way …
As soon as you were ready to withdraw, others would block the road, march, and petition.
You even called the media reporters from all over the world to cry in front of your embassy.
Under the pressure of public opinion, even the most resolute central authority could only bow its head.
Ling Ping'an thought of this and quietly left the group.
He followed the instructions of the exhibition hall and came to the memorial hall of the Nanzhou Liberation War.
Then, he walked to the Museum of War Heroes of the New Qinling Mountain Battle.
She pushed the door open and walked in.
Countless names were engraved on the walls on both sides of the hall.
There were so many of them that it made one's scalp go numb.
As the last and most tragic battlefield in the hundred-year war, it used the most new technological weapons.
The Battle of New Qinling Mountains lasted for a full year.
Both warring sides had invested millions of troops.
The Federal Empire alone challenged the entire Land of Qin.
In the end, both warring sides were exhausted, and the Franks sent their king to the guillotine.
The hundred-year war ended with the destruction of a dynasty.
Thus, in the second month after the Faran Revolution, Great Xia and Britannia signed a contract in New Delhi.
In the following ten years, all the major warring states signed contracts with Great Xia one after another.
Acknowledge the defeat, renounce the colonies, and grant freedom to all the enslaved and oppressed peoples.
Thinking of this, Ling Ping'an found a name.
It was a name that was tightly protected under a glass cabinet.
Captain Ling Baoguo of the Third Garrison of the Guangnan Volunteer Brigade of the Great Xia Army.
This was his second generation ancestor.
Ling Ping'an heaved a sigh of relief and shook his head, feeling a little ashamed.
He stared at the introduction in the window.
Duke Ling Baoguo, the people of the Guangnan Governor District, Jiangcheng City, and Dongmei Town started a war from the Land of Qin. When Duke Baoguo heard this, he resolutely threw away his pen and joined the army. He led his retainers to the Nanzhou Army and was incorporated into the Guangnan Volunteer Brigade of the Army as the captain of the Third Garrison...
On the 15th day of the seventh month of the summer of the Republic era, the Battle of New Qinling Mountains broke out. Duke Baoguo was ordered to lead his troops to guard the Xinxiang Pass at the southern foot of the New Qinling Mountains.
On the 20th day, with the Bavarian Regiment as the guide, the enemy concentrated 300 cannons and fiercely bombarded the Xinxiang Pass. They wanted to break through the Xinxiang Pass in one fell swoop and directly take the Xinxiang Railway Station where our logistics were transferred.
Duke Baoguo led his troops and held their position for three days. They suffered more than a hundred wounds and still fought to the death without retreating.
Repelling more than a hundred of the enemy's Bavarian Regiment's charges, killing and injuring hundreds of the enemy's Regimental Commander, Johann, beheading their Regimental Commander, Johann. This created a favorable opportunity for our main force to circle around to the enemy's rear, surround and annihilate the enemy's Bavarian, Sicilian, and Burgundian troops!
After the war, the Emperor of Great Xia was personally awarded the A-Class War Hero title. He received the A-Class Nanzhou Liberation Medal and was an honorary citizen of Xinxiang City for life. During the Virtuous Sect, he was posthumously awarded the [A-Class War Hero of the Federal Empire of Great Xia]. He entered the Sacrifice of Martyrs and ordered the Governor of Guangnan to write a biography of him and make him a famous person in the local annals.
Ling Ping'an watched and swallowed his saliva.
"Is my ancestor that awesome?"
How many guards were there?
Thirty? Fifty?
In any case, there couldn't be more than a hundred people.
Even if they included the militia, there would at most be two hundred people.
How could such a small number of people block the attack of the enemy's main force and 300 supporting cannons?
Was this Superman?
Moreover, a regiment had 300 cannons as support?
Or more than two hundred years ago?
Was this firepower coordination a joke?
However, this was an official record. It would only be conservative and not exaggerated.
Therefore …
Our ancestors are really awesome!
He reckoned that Xinxiang Pass was the kind of dangerous place where one man could hold the pass against ten thousand enemies.
Moreover, it was definitely a strategic place that the enemy could not bypass.
Just as he was sighing with emotion, a few people also came over.
They saw the cupboard in front of Ling Ping'an.
They also sighed with emotion.
"It was difficult for our ancestors to start a business!"
"Yes, yes!"
Ling Ping'an turned his head and looked. There were a total of five people.
They were all dressed neatly and their bodies were also very clean.
One look and one could tell that they were successful people in the business world.
They also looked at Ling Ping'an curiously.
"Young master, did you also have an ancestor who died in the battle of Xinxiang Pass in the New Qinling Mountains?" A man with a standard official's crew cut asked.
Ling Ping'an shook his head.
His second-generation ancestor did not die in that battle and miraculously survived.
From the records of the family tree, he knew that almost all the retainers who followed his ancestors had died in battle.
Even more than half of the militia that had been temporarily organized had been sacrificed.
A strange look flashed in the man's eyes. Just as he was about to ask again, a tall man beside him pulled him and said with a smile, "Chief Lu, why are you entangling with a passerby?"
"It's the right thing to do to pay homage to our ancestors' deeds!"
Chief Lu nodded, "Brother is right!"
"My ancestor, Zhaogong, followed Duke Bao back then. He bathed in blood on the battlefield and sacrificed himself heroically... How loyal and brave was that?! Therefore, Duke Bao's legitimate son, Duke An Zhonggong, raised my family and took my daughter as a concubine to serve him. He was extremely favored! "
"Unfortunately, his descendants were unfilial and angered the empress and were punished!"
"They were expelled from the main family wall!"
"Before my father died, the last wish he left for me was to return to Jiang City, apologize to the main family, and pray to enter the wall again..."
"All these years, I often returned to Jiang City..."
"Unfortunately, the two uncles avoided me and didn't tell me the current whereabouts of the main family!"
"I'm really unfilial!" As he said that, tears appeared in Chief Lu's eyes, "I've let down my ancestors. I'm afraid that after I die, I can only cover my face with my hair and don't dare to meet my ancestors in the underworld!"
The tall man hurriedly advised, "Chief Lu, don't worry!"
"If we brothers have the chance, we will definitely persuade my father..."
Chief Lu listened and held the tall man's hand, "Then I'll have to trouble you, brother!"
Ling Ping 'an listened at the side and felt his scalp tingle.
Because...
That Chief Lu reminded him of something bad.
His surname was Lu?
The old Ling family had four retainer families in Qilipu Village. They had been assisting or serving for generations.
Among them, the Zhang family and the Wang family were equivalent to guards.
As for the Hu family and the Lu family, they were probably the accountants and housekeepers of the past.
In short, it was a feudal society.
This was the standard of a landlord's family.
As for the Lu family?
Ling Ping 'an had never seen it before. He had only heard Uncle Wang mention it.
It seemed that in the era of his grandparents, they had imposed the harshest punishment on their servants by feudal lords — extermination!
They were stripped of their family name and expelled from the family, never to see each other again!
This sounded a little strange.
However, such a strange thing had happened just like that.
The Lu family was deprived of the right to enter the Ling family's ancestral hall and call themselves the Ling family.
From the attitude described by Uncle Wang, Uncle Zhang, and Grandma Hu.
To them, this kind of thing seemed to be like the sky had collapsed.
It was a matter of life and death.
As for the reason?
Ling Ping 'an didn't ask in detail. He only knew that it seemed that the people of the Lu family had violated some family rules.
Anyway, it was very messy.
He couldn't be bothered to understand this kind of feudal chaff.
However, he didn't expect to meet the descendant of the Lu family here.
Moreover, it seemed that this descendant of the Lu family was doing very well now?
Chief?!
This was a high-ranking official.
If this was the chief of a department in the imperial capital, then it would be even more impressive.
The prime minister's door was a seventh-grade official.
The chief of the imperial capital was even more prestigious than the mayor of the local area!
He was the elite of the elite.
Thinking of this, Ling Ping 'an quietly walked away.
… …
Lu Wenxiao looked at a nameplate in the cupboard.
That was a relic of his ancestor.
Lu Zhao, a soldier who died in battle at Xinxiang Pass.
But very few people knew that his ancestor was such a valiant figure!
In that era where the recovery of spirit aura had not been many years ago.
Lu Zhao already had the strength to defeat a hundred people.
On the battlefield, he tore apart more than a dozen werewolves.
He even smashed the head of a vampire with a punch.
In the end, he was outnumbered and sacrificed himself heroically!
Sighing with emotion about his ancestor, he looked at the name in the cupboard.
"Duke Bao!" He sighed.
This was his former lord!
"My ancestor is unfilial!" To him, being expelled from the main family was a lifelong regret.
The four people next to him looked on in bewilderment.
"Chief Lu..." Zhang Fengxiao, who had just been promoted to the director of the City of Salvation Security Bureau of the Blackguard, couldn\'t help but ask, "Why do you have to do this?"
"Although your ancestors served the Ling family for generations and your ancestors were exterminated by the descendants of the Ling family..."
"This is a pity!"
"But you\'ve already made a name for yourself!"
This Chief Lu was a big shot!
He was now the deputy director of the Legal Policy Risk Department of the Supreme Court of the Federal Empire.
At the same time, he was also the deputy director of the Special Affairs Legal Supervision Bureau of the Blackguard.
His teacher was also one of the nine great protectors of the Supreme Court, Wen Zhenming!
Zhang Fengxiao was able to be promoted successfully because of this brother\'s help.
Otherwise, a thirty-year-old director.
It would be difficult to convince the public!
"What do you know?" Lu Wenxiao turned around and glanced at Zhang Fengxiao. "Didn\'t Uncle Zhang tell you about the origin of the main family?"
Zhang Fengxiao raised his head and asked, "Main family? The origin of the Ling family? "
The three brothers of the Wang family also raised their heads. "What\'s the origin of the Ling family?"
They remembered the last time they met.
Although the final events were a little blurry.
They had long forgotten the appearance of the so-called young master.
But they still remembered that the young master was dressed shabbily.
The clothes on his body added up weren\'t even as expensive as one of their cuffs.
The cat he was holding was worth some money.
Other than that, there was nothing else.
Lu Wenxiao shook his head and looked at the four of them. These were the children of the four uncles.
"Since the uncles didn\'t say..."
"I don\'t dare to overstep my authority!"
"I can only tell the four of you..."
"The main family is the heavens!"
"You must not disobey, and you must not disobey!"
"My father taught me since I was young..."
"Our Lu family is just moss growing next to the roots of the main family..."
"Sunlight and rain... are all gifts from the main family!"
"The ancestors were unfilial, violated the family rules, angered the heavens, and were expelled from the family..."
"So, they were thrown outside the door..."
"Let the wind and rain hit..."
"They can only regret it endlessly!"
"Their descendants will be implicated!"
Lu Wenxiao choked, "They will never be able to enjoy the shade under the big tree!"
"They will also forever lose the right to return to their homeland and worship their ancestors!"
"From my father to me... two generations have been pursuing to return to the family wall! Unfortunately, they were not forgiven by the main family! "
"What about you!" Lu Wenxiao said earnestly, "Cherish it!"
"Otherwise, you will end up like me!"
Zhang Fengxiao and the others were baffled.
End up like you?
That was exactly what they wanted!
The student of the Grand Protector, the deputy director of the legal policy risk department of the Supreme Court, and also the director of the special affairs legal risk department of the Blackguard.
How many laws and policies had to go through his hands?
The Supreme Court and the central government would regularly look at his analysis reports.
Lu Wenxiao looked at the four people who didn\'t even know anything.
He sighed, "When you entered the capital, didn\'t you go to see the little sister of the Hu family?"
"Hu Nuonuo is here too?" Zhang Fengxiao asked.
Lu Wenxiao understood everything when he heard that.
He laughed and looked at the four of them. "It seems that the four of you have already ended up like me!"
They didn\'t even know this.
That was the most obvious evidence.
They were expelled from the inner circle.
"No!" Lu Wenxiao looked at the four of them. "You are worse off than me!"
Even though he had been expelled from the sect.
He was also deprived of the right to be a retainer.
But...
In the end, the master back then still remembered the old relationship and did not deprive him of the final right, the right to be loyal again.
As long as he asked for forgiveness, he could still return to the main family.
He returned to the big tree and became a moss under the shade of the big tree.
On the day of ascension, chickens and dogs ascended to heaven.
The moss could also take the opportunity to get wet and jump out of the cycle of reincarnation.
And these four people, although they were not expelled.
But obviously, they had lost the chance to be loyal.
This was much more miserable than him.
At least, he still had a chance.
Zhang Fengxiao and the others were baffled.
"Director Lu, what are you talking about?" As the oldest of the four, Wang Shan couldn\'t help but ask.
Lu Wenxiao shook his head. "I can\'t say..."
"Moreover, the things I know are too little!"
"After being expelled from the clan, the Lu Family could only pass on a few words!"
"The Lu family no longer has a transcendent being!"
It was a great crime to anger the main family!
He deserved to be exterminated!
Therefore, the Lu family no longer had a transcendent being!
This was the punishment!
Take back the grace and sever the inheritance!
However, the old master did not go to the extreme in the end. He removed the memorial tablets of the ancestors of the Lu family from the Ling family and destroyed all the words.
Therefore, this matter was not as bad as it could get.
As long as the current master accepted him again and wrote his name into the family tree.
Then, his descendants would be able to regain their glory and get back the grace.
The strength and bloodline of the ancestors would be able to return.
That was …
At the beginning of the recovery of spirit aura, he could tear werewolves apart and destroy the powerful bloodline of vampires!
Especially …
Lu Wenxiao recalled his father\'s last words, "If everything goes well..."
"The seventh generation master will return to his homeland..."
"In the mountains and rivers of Jingnan, the ceremony will be held..."
Thinking of this, Lu Wenxiao looked at the four of them and asked, "Oh right... I heard from Brother Wang Yi that the four of you seem to have met the young master this year?"
Wang Shan and the others nodded.
Lu Wenxiao asked again, "How is the young master?"
"Pretty good!" Zhang Fengxiao replied, "A very quiet person..."
"And very kind!"
Hmm …
He was also very sensible and sensible.
It had been so long, but he had never contacted them, let alone made any requests.
They had even been worried about him.
What if that so-called young master made any requests?
Fortunately, he was really sensible!
And sensible!
After so long, he didn\'t even say a word when he left his business card or phone number.
Lu Wenxiao nodded and asked seriously, "By the way..."
"Young Lord, do you like to wear clothes from the supermarket?"
"And wear a pair of cheap glasses?"
"He also has a cat?"
"A very beautiful kitten?"
"How did you know?" Wang Shan and the others were surprised. "You\'ve seen him?!"
"Hehe!" Lu Wenxiao laughed.
He laughed at the naivety and stupidity of these four people.
Now, hadn\'t they heard of the rumor of Master X in the imperial capital?
However, it was also because of this that Lu Wenxiao knew.
These four people really didn\'t know anything.
They were even worse than him!
At least, he still knew some clues left behind by his ancestors.
"You guys..." Lu Wenxiao sighed. "This is also quite good!"
Ignorance and stupidity were also a kind of happiness!
At least they didn\'t have to suffer like him!
