Peng Yulan knelt on the ground dejectedly. Her heart was filled with sorrow.
She could empathize with Feng Lingbo's feelings and was also full of sorrow.
When Guang Guang County was gathering troops, who was the one who risked their lives?
When the imperial army was going on an expedition, who was the one who risked their lives on the battlefield?
It was not easy to have today, but Tianyu Sect's ability to expand was not as good as Shang Chaozong's!
"Inviting a wolf into the house … nurturing a tiger …" Peng Yulan sat on the ground and muttered to herself. Her image as a noble lady was completely gone.
Peng Zaizai could understand his daughter's feelings and sighed, "Inviting a wolf into the house or nurturing a tiger is fine. From another point of view, doesn't it show Shang Chaozong's ability? How many people in the world have this ability? Compared to Lingbo, Lingbo has been trapped in Guang Guang County for so many years, while Shang Chaozong has only been in Canglu County for a short period of time, yet he has already conquered Qingshan County. His boldness and breadth of mind are worthy of his father, King Ning Shang Jianbo's reputation! "
Peng Yulan shook her head in grief, "Lingbo defended the family property to accumulate strength. It was not easy for him to accumulate the family property, but he didn't use it and became someone else's wedding dress. In your eyes, it's Lingbo's lack of ability! Without Lingbo's painstaking efforts in Guang Yi County, where would he get the financial resources and military strength to conquer Qingshan County? The peaches he planted were plucked by others when they were ripe, and he was scolded for being incompetent. Is there such a logic in the world? "
"Others?" Peng Youzhe bent over and personally helped his daughter up from the ground. He reached out and wiped away the tears on her face. "There is no one else. The Shang Chaozong is no one else. He is your son-in-law, half a son to you. He is a family to you and to me."
Peng Yulan said sadly, "Father, how can Ruoyi and Ruojie endure your words? Is there such a family that schemed to seize their father-in-law's family property? "
She was sad in her heart. It also depended on the situation of a family. Some things were always different between close and distant. The family business that Feng Family worked hard to build would naturally be passed on to her son in the future. Now it was great. Not only did her son give away the family business that he built with his life, but he also had to bow down to others.
Peng Youzai said, "According to what you said, Shang Chaozong is a member of the Yan Royal Family. Shouldn't he think that we robbed his Yan family business? Is this clear? Yulan, there's no right or wrong in some things. You have to look forward. The future will be better. "
Peng Yulan: "The future? If we can't even take care of the present, who can tell what will happen in the future? "
She knew all too well that if she fell behind now, no matter how good the future would be, her son would always be suppressed by Shang Chaozong. This was something she couldn't accept.
Peng Zai was silent for a while. He knew that no matter how he tried to explain this matter, it would be difficult for his daughter to get over it. Anyone would find it hard to accept such a thing.
But then again, it was precisely because she was his daughter and son-in-law that he had the patience to personally explain things to her. If it was someone else, there wouldn't be a need to do so.
Since he couldn't persuade her, he didn't harp on this matter anymore. Instead, he reminded her, "Before I came, Lan Ruoting found me and told me about Ruonan. He heard that Ruonan ran back to her parents' home in a fit of anger and hasn't returned since. He couldn't persuade her to go back either, so he hoped that I could say something. Yulan, in this current situation, the leadership of the two counties has to be handed over to Shang Chaozong. If you really want the good of Ruojie and Ruoyi, you should persuade Ruonan to go back as soon as possible. "
"There are some things that men can't say clearly. If another woman really takes advantage of the situation and takes away Ruonan's position, then you and Shang Chaozong will really become outsiders. Once Shang Chaozong achieves something, his words will have more weight. The Heavenly Jade Sect can't continue to treat him like a nobody. If Ruonan, as his wife, doesn't want to be with him, and Shang Chaozong wants to marry someone else, the Heavenly Jade Sect can't say anything. No one has a reason to make anyone a widow. You should weigh this matter carefully … "
At the same time that the Heavenly Jade Sect's group arrived at Guangyi County, a few youths from Little Temple Village galloped past Guangyi County under the guidance of Shang Chaozong's personal guards.
The group ate and slept in the open all the way until they finally arrived at the valley outside the county city of Azure Mountain County.
The group jumped off their horses and waited where they were, waiting to be notified. A few of the strong young men looked around from time to time. Although their faces were covered in dust, their eyes were filled with curiosity.
Not long after, Niu Youdao, Yuan Gang, and the others arrived.
If it had been anyone else, Niu Youdao might not have personally appeared to welcome them.
Although these people were more ordinary, there was no helping it. They were fellow villagers.
Some airs couldn't be put on, and some people's hearts couldn't be hurt.
"Brother Gangzi, Brother Dao!"
When the young men saw the two of them, they waved their arms and shouted excitedly. They didn't care if they were on guard duty or not, cheering as they rushed toward the two of them.
Niu Youdao waved his hand to indicate to the guards not to stop them.
Niu Youdao was still alright, as he gave them a slight sense of distance. However, they didn't stand on ceremony with Yuan Gang. They immediately rushed over and hugged Yuan Gang.
Hugging and hugging seemed to be difficult to express their excitement. They lifted Yuan Gang and tossed him into the air, caught him, and tossed him up again.
Hei Peony and the others were astonished. They were astonished at the relationship these people had with Yuan Gang, and they were also astonished that Yuan Gang, this cold-faced door god, actually had a faint smile on his face.
After Yuan Gang was put down, he asked, "Why are there only four of you? Where are the other two?"
Big Bowl chuckled, "Big Blackie just got married a few days ago, so he can't bear to leave her behind. Blockhead is also married, and his parents are forcing him to carry on the family line every day, so he can't come either. "
Yuan Gang was silent. Since they didn't want to come, he couldn't force them.
Just as this place was bustling with activity, another group of people arrived. Shang Chaozong and Lan Ruoting had arrived.
Hearing the report from his subordinates that the people from Little Temple Village that Yuan Gang had specifically asked for had arrived, Lan Ruoting was now filled with curiosity about the people from that village. He couldn't help but run over to take a look. Shang Chaozong had the same intention, so he came along as well.
"Prince, Mister Lan." Niu Youdao cupped his hands and greeted politely.
The young men had seen Shang Chaozong before. Seeing that an important person had arrived, they knew who the Prince was, so they all calmed down.
They didn't know any proper etiquette, so they nervously stood beside Yuan Gang, not daring to speak. Like Yuan Gang, they didn't bow.
"I heard that Daoye's fellow villagers have arrived, so I came to take a look," Shang Chaozong said with a smile, his gaze already fixed on the few people.
"The villagers in the countryside don't know etiquette, please don't take it to heart, Prince." Niu Youdao apologized on behalf of the young men.
Lan Ruoting's gaze had already been fixed on the few people, and after a brief examination, he had already noticed that they were different.
They seemed familiar, probably the ones he had seen outside the village back then, but compared to back then, these young men had clearly changed. Their stocky physiques were somewhat similar to Yuan Gang's, and they were all well-built and full of vigor, not something ordinary soldiers could compare to.
Lan Ruoting and Shang Chaozong subconsciously looked at each other, muttering inwardly, it seemed that any one of them could be a fierce warrior on the battlefield. It seemed that Little Temple Village was really not simple, producing so many talents.
Actually, Niu Youdao had also noticed the changes in the few people, and glanced at Yuan Gang meaningfully.
Since the Prince was here, Niu Youdao naturally had to accompany him. Yuan Gang brought the few dusty fellows to wash up.
After sending off Shang Chaozong, Niu Youdao climbed up a cliff and stood alone by the cliff, waiting.
Not long after, Yuan Gang arrived. Without waiting for him to speak, Niu Youdao, who had his back facing him, asked, "You taught them the Body Hardening Technique that you cultivated?"
Yuan Gang was silent for a moment, understanding his concern. To be honest, he didn't expect that the Body Hardening Technique that he cultivated would be so unusual.
In his previous life, when he was with a certain group of people, everyone practiced together, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with teaching it to the villagers. At that time, the goal was to strengthen their bodies so that they could protect the village, and he didn't have any other thoughts. Now, he naturally understood that it might cause trouble.
Yuan Gang nodded, "Yes! But it's a little strange. When I recovered from my injuries, everyone practiced at almost the same time, but their progress was obviously not as good as mine. The gap was huge. "
Niu Youdao, "Every technique differs from person to person. If anyone could practice it, then the world would be full of cultivators. The Body Hardening Technique that you cultivated should be the same … Even though it's the same, it's better not to spread it around. It's better to keep some trump cards, and be careful of the backlash. You should understand what I mean."
Yuan Gang nodded silently. The more dangerous something was, the more it should not be taught!
At this moment, a shout came from the mountainside. "Brother Gang, Brother Dao."
After washing up, the lads ran back energetically. They ran up the mountain, shouting loudly and unrestrained. Compared to the environment, they seemed a little unruly.
Turning around, Niu Youdao smiled.
Yuan Gang, however, warned in a deep voice, "This is not the village, don't let others see you as a joke. From now on, you will all be called Daoye!"
"Dao … Daoye?" A few of them were a little surprised, as if they were not used to it. Some of them scratched their heads and chuckled.
Yuan Gang turned back to Niu Youdao and said, "Daoye, their names are not proper, and people will laugh at them if they say it. You know this better, give them a name."
The truth was just as he said. His name was considered good in Little Temple Village, and it was only because a passerby had helped to give it to him. The others, if not Yuan Dazhang or Niu Ergou, were normal in the village, and people would laugh at them if they brought their names out.
As for Niu Youdao, according to Yuan Gang's estimation, the name Niu Youdao was definitely not the Dao of morality, nor was it the Dao of justice, but the Dao of the path. Otherwise, normal people would not have such a strange name. It was only slightly stylish to match Daoye's current identity, but if Niu Youdao was placed in the village to farm, it would immediately be degraded.
Actually, there were no other surnames in Little Temple Village, most of them were either surnamed Niu or Yuan.
Niu Youdao chuckled and did not refuse. His gaze swept across the faces of the four, and finally landed on Yuan Gang's face. He could understand him, and said word by word, "Swift as the wind, gentle as the forest, aggressive like fire, immovable like a mountain! Wind … Forest … Fire … Mountain! "
Yuan Gang liked it and nodded without any objections. He immediately looked back at the others and pointed, saying, "Dazhang, you will be called Yuan Feng from now on. Mengzi, you will be called Niu Lin from now on. Little Gou Zi, you will be called Yuan Huo from now on. Da Wan, you will be called Niu Shan from now on! "
"I am Yuan Feng, you are Niu Lin …" The four of them laughed and pointed at each other as they memorized the names.
Just as Niu Youdao's words hit Yuan Gang's mind, Niu Youdao knew what Yuan Gang wanted to do, and sure enough, Yuan Gang left the next day.
Yuan Gang wanted to choose a few hundred people and bring a batch of his own soldiers. He did not want Shang Chaozong's soldiers, and wanted to go around and choose suitable seedlings himself.
