In the center of the illusion, in the small courtyard of Yang Kaishan's residence, Li Qiu, Xia Tao and Yang Kaishan took their seats one after another. As for Yun Jing, as a junior, he did not have enough status, so he could only stand behind Li Qiu.
Around this small courtyard, there are guards from Li Qiu and Xia Tao guarding the surrounding areas, as well as veterans from the town¡¯s border army guarding everywhere.
Although this is just an ordinary farmhouse, it can be described as a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. The people present alone are enough to defeat more than 95% of the martial arts sects in the world!
The center of the fantasy here is isolated from the world and obviously does not have the conditions to produce candles. The torches made of pine oil are used for lighting. When they burn, black smoke rises and sparks explode from time to time.
"General Yang, you have worked hard over the years. When Jing'er went back that day, he explained your efforts over the years, General. I admired you very much and immediately reported it to His Majesty. Your Majesty also urgently convened the cabinet for discussion. This is why we came to this trip." Li Qiu looked at Yang Kaishan with admiration.
People¡¯s hearts are the easiest to change. How many people in the world can stick to an order like Yang Kaishan and others for decades?
Xia Taoxing bowed to the juniors and said: "General, I will never forget your sacrifices. I will remember them in the history books for future generations to admire and study."
This is also a disguised reward and gift. It will go down in history. Whether you are an official or a soldier, if you can get such an honor, you will have no regrets in your life.
Hearing what Xia Tao said, even though Yang Kaishan and the others felt that their efforts over the years had been worth it, they were flattered and said: "His Highness the Second Prince, you are serious, we are rough people, how can we be virtuous?"
"We can afford the decades of dedication of the general and others," Xia Tao said seriously.
Yang Kaishan no longer dwells on this topic. How to record it in history books is someone else's business. If he mentions it again, it would be too much. He turned to Yun Jing and said: "Mr. Yun, thank you, otherwise we might not be able to do it." I can't even wait for today. I hope you will forgive me for what happened that day and my responsibility."
"General, you are worried. I understand your difficulties, please don't say that again," Yunjing said with a cupped hand.
Then a few people chatted about some normal trivial matters, such as how Yang Kaishan and others have lived here over the years, what the outside situation is like, etc.
Although Yang Kaishan and the others have been trapped here for decades, and the time they came here was a matter of the previous generation of kings, people have been arriving one after another over the years, and they have heard about the current structure of the court, and about the changes in the outside world. I'm not too surprised, I just haven't experienced it myself.
When the conversation was almost over, Li Qiu and Xia Tao looked at each other, then took out a piece of official document from their arms, looked at Yang Kaishan and said: "General Yang, this is a document signed and issued by the Ministry of War and the Cabinet. Please take a look"
The document is different from the imperial edict. There is no need to pay homage to a formal greeting, so just give it to Yang Kaishan directly.
The content of the document was mainly to hand over something that Yang Kaishan and the others had guarded for decades. It was jointly issued by the Ministry of War and the Cabinet, and the emperor had annotated it. There was no need to let others know about this kind of thing in public. After all, that thing, Judging from the fact that it almost triggered a war between the two countries decades ago, it is too sensitive.
Looking at the handover content on the document, Yang Kaishan was stunned and felt extremely complicated.
After decades of guarding and isolation from the world, from middle age to old age, and now gray-haired, after so many years of hard work, after getting this document, the mission will be over.
A piece of paper relieves their heavy burden, but why do they feel so empty inside?
At this time, no one but himself can experience Yang Kaishan's helpless feeling.
Li Qiu and others were not in a hurry. They fully understood Yang Kaishan's mood and waited silently.
After a while, Yang Kaishan raised his head, put the document in his arms with great caution, raised his head and said with a smile: "You're out of control, General Li. Your Highness, the Second Prince, please don't laugh."
"It's okay, we understand," Li Qiu waved his hand.
After exhaling a long breath, Yang Kaishan stood up and said: "Everyone, please wait a moment."
With that said, he turned back to the house and came to the middle of the main room of the house. There was a table made of whole tree roots. It had been there for who knows how many years. There was a patina on the tabletop that could be seen.
Standing in front of the table, silent for a moment, Yang Kaishan stretched out his hand and pressed it gently on the table. With a slight click, the table turned into pieces. Then, a metal box fell out from where the table was shattered.
The box is completely black, ten centimeters high, one and a half feet long and one foot wide. It is made of an unknown material, but it gives off an extremely solid feeling at just one glance.
That is what they have been guarding for decades, and it has always been placed in this conspicuous position. It was just sealed in the table before, and now it is really seeing the light of day.
???????????; Holding the scroll, he said to the people downstairs: "We have guests coming. Open the door to welcome them and prepare tea."
"Good sir"
Downstairs, a drowsy old man suddenly woke up when he heard this sentence. He didn't dare to be negligent. He answered and immediately went to open the door to welcome the guests.
How dare he neglect the Master¡¯s guests?
It has been more than a hundred years since Master Deng. For so many years, he has never encountered guests who need tea several times when he needs to prepare tea!
This old man was able to work as a servant for Master Deng, and he was the kind of servant who carried him wherever he went. He was still blessed by his ancestors. When Deng Changchun was still young, the old man's ancestors served him as a book boy, but Master With a life span of 500 years, the former book boy has long since returned to his ashes. Due to the relationship with the former book boy for many years, Deng Changchun chose one of the former book boy's descendants to follow him. Now these are the fourth generation.
What an honor it is to be a servant to the Master?
Under Deng Changchun¡¯s accidental guidance, this old man entered the true realm early, and his lifespan increased greatly. But now he is old and is already planning his successor. The ancestral servants of the master must not fall into the hands of outsiders
Opening the door, the old man saw the arrival of master and apprentice Yunjing, and thought to himself, are these the guests that the Master will prepare tea for? He's too young. I'm afraid even his sons and grandsons won't be treated like this.
Thinking so, the old man did not dare to show any slightness and saluted: "Two distinguished guests, please. Sir is already waiting for you two upstairs."
Li Qiu and Yun Jing approached Master Deng¡¯s residence, feeling extremely anxious, but with his disciple nearby, he had to hold back.
When he saw the door opened and an old man appeared, he immediately wanted to pay homage. After all, he had never seen the Master before and thought he was the master. As for the Master knowing in advance that the two of them were coming and opening the door, he was not surprised at all. What virtue and ability could he have? Let your wife welcome you in person?
But after listening to the other party's words, I realized that it was the master's servant. I realized that I had thought too much, and I felt a little embarrassed. However, I still respectfully bowed to the juniors and said: "Junior Li Qiu, together with my disciple Yunjing, I have a request to see the master. Late at night I hope you¡¯ll forgive me for visiting, but I¡¯m sorry for bothering you, old man.¡±
Yunjing also followed the rules and bowed politely, without any overstep. However, it was unexpected that his master, who was not shocked by the collapse that day, was actually so worried. He pretended not to know, lest the master deal with him.
The old man smiled and said: "No problem, please come with me, two distinguished guests."
¡°I don¡¯t dare, I¡¯ll invite you first,¡± Li Qiu stepped forward and said.
