Cao Zhuqing was the first to come to his senses. He looked at Lin Ming, his eyes sparkling, and he could no longer hide the appreciation in his heart.
"Little friend Lin Ming, I would like to ask you what you think of this family, this country, this world?"
Hearing these words and the solemn tone in the words, the others came back to their senses.
Their eyes fell on Lin Ming's face.
The little guy was a little curious, but after looking at the face of the fourth elder, he consciously stretched out his two little paws and covered his mouth, warning himself in his heart, "Don't interrupt!"
At this time, Lin Ming raised his eyebrows slightly and looked directly at Cao Zhuqing, "Senior, do you want to ask this junior about the choice between country and family?"
Smart...Cao Zhuqing nodded with a smile.
Lin Ming raised his index finger and rubbed the tip of his finger for a moment.
"Aristocratic families and sects are within the country. Perhaps the seniors are worried that I will focus on the small family and neglect the big country, but I still understand the truth that no eggs are left intact after the nest is overthrown. Country and family cannot be separated."
After a pause, Lin Ming smiled and said, "Isn't it the original wish of men of our generation to cultivate one's moral integrity, manage one's family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world?"
"Well, he is such a good man who cultivates his moral integrity, manages his family, governs his country and brings peace to the world. He has such ambition in his heart. No wonder my little friend made me feel like old friends at the first sight!" Cao Zhuqing praised loudly.
His body was full of momentum. At this moment, the military god who had been so arrogant many years ago was back.
After staring at Lin Ming for a moment, Cao Zhuqing burst into laughter.
"Hahahahaha... I just want to say something to my little friend, you are the only one to be a scholar of the Ning Kingdom. I, Cao Zhuqing, will definitely recommend you to the king of the country."
A national scholar must be unparalleled in his country to be a national scholar!
Lin Ming was startled, then raised his hand, "Senior, that's a compliment."
"No, you have a lot of ambition in your heart, which is far better than countless young masters from aristocratic families and Taoist disciples from sects." Cao Zhuqing grinned.
At this time, Wenren Qianyi patted Cao Zhuqing's back.
"Tea maker, you are serious. Yes, you are discerning, quite discerning."
Xu Aodong stared at Cao Zhuqing, "Old Cao, are you serious?"
Cao Zhuqing nodded.
"Marshal means what he says, and once he says it, he won't go back on it." Lin Jing shook his pipe.
At this time, the little guy jumped up to Lin Ming's head and asked, "What is a national scholar?"
The Fourth Elder looked at the little guy with a smile on his face.
Cao Zhuqing's lips and teeth were open, "He has his family and country in his heart, he travels across the four seas, one person can defeat a country, and he is unparalleled and invincible... Such a person can be called a national warrior."
The little guy opened his mouth slightly and said, "Wow, I don't understand much, but he looks very awesome. Brother Ming, that's right, it has to be me, Brother Ming!"
Lin Ming smiled and said, "It's still early. This is just a beautiful wish for me from senior."
Cao Zhuqing chuckled secretly and said to himself: "Okay, very good. This kind of character does not let external things affect the inner honor and disgrace. It is really a great talent!"
At this moment, Wenren Qianyi poured a basin of cold water on him.
"The honor of being a national scholar is good, but if I let little friend Lin Ming take up the responsibility too early, I'm afraid something like that will happen again."
As soon as these words came out, the three elders fell silent.
After a moment, Xu Aodong nodded, "It was because Old Cao was too popular back then that the Ningguo family jointly targeted... In the Three Kingdoms War that year, if it hadn't been for internal trouble, Ningguo would have swept across Jingguo and Bianguo, how could it have ended miserably? Win?"
Lin Jing took two puffs from his cigarette holder, shook his head and said nothing.
Lin Ming and the little guy's appetites were whetted.
Both of them had heard the stories of the four elders and knew how high-spirited they were back then, so they wanted to find out why they lived in seclusion in the remote Aoye City.
Every time the old people talked about key points, they would always stop and tacitly agree not to speak again.
Lin Ming and Lu Xueye looked at each other, expecting that it would be the same this time.
However, Cao Zhuqing's overwhelming momentum rose again.
The war god who looked down upon the world opened his eyes wide, and the kindness between his brows completely disappeared, replaced by majesty and evil aura.
"In half a month, I will recover from my injury, and I will gather my old troops at that time. Aristocratic families? Sects? Powerful people? Let's see if they dare to stop me!"
Cao Zhuqing stood up, took a few steps, and stood with his hands behind his back.
"The tragedy of that year will never happen again!"
From this old man, Lin Ming felt for the first time up close what "one general can accomplish, and ten thousand bones will wither".
Cao Zhuqing's evil spirit was as strong as water, and he seemed to be able to ward off gods and ghosts.
Xu Aodong and Lin Jing were both speechless. They didn't want to persuade, but they couldn't.
At this time, Wenren Qianyi said calmly:
"Tea maker, don't forget, people will change."
"Now that the New Year has passed, the old team members are no longer young boys. They have families and concerns, and many things will happen out of their control."
Cao Zhuqing looked back and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "Let's see."
I'm trying to reason with you, but you're pretending to be cool with me... Wenren Qianyi's eyebrows twitched, and a few blue veins popped out several times.
He opened his mouth, but the sound didn't come out yet.
Lin Jing spoke first:
"Blacksmith, you and Lao Cao are both friends with Lin Ming and have considered what happened back then. But don't forget that Mr. Lin Ming is from the Lin family and is a member of a noble family. If Lao Cao really wants to praise him, it will be difficult for him to do so. The pressure to be right will definitely not be as great as it was back then.”
Xu Aodong responded: "Yes, we were all Bai Ding back then. The family didn't like Bai Ding to be in power, and we didn't want to sit back and watch the great marshal of Ning Guo's army and horses fall by the wayside... Now, if we recommend little friend Lin Ming to be a national scholar, The situation is very different.”
Wenren Qianyi condensed for a moment, and then hummed, "It is indeed different, but we still have to postpone it, at least until the tea maker returns to the capital."
"I know." Cao Zhuqing nodded and smiled, "Blacksmith, don't worry. Little friend Lin Ming is extremely talented and cares about his country. His spirit and temperament are the same as mine. I won't be impatient or harmful. his."
After a pause, he looked at Lin Ming, "Little friend, there is no need to be stressed. What I say is a later thing. Don't expect too much yet."
Lin Ming raised his head and chuckled: "A normal mind is the way to go, and letting nature take its course is the best."
The little guy stood up on his hind legs and jumped on Lin Ming's shoulders, "Okay, everything Brother Ming said is right!"
Elders: "..."
This guy is good at everything, but sometimes he speaks too maturely and makes sense, which makes people feel ashamed.
Sometimes I really wonder if he is the reincarnation of an old monster.
At this time, Wenren Qianyi patted his forehead and said, "By the way, I forgot to tell the old guys, little friend Lin Ming has become the leader of my Xuanzhu lineage."
San Lao: (⊙_⊙)?
Cao Zhuqing's face darkened, he pointed at Wenren Qianyi and said in a foul language:
"Gan!!!"
"Hehehehe, I'm sorry, I took the lead," Wenren Qianyi smiled mischievously, "Oh, I'm really guilty. I'll punish myself with one drink. I'll punish myself with one drink."
After saying this, he raised the tea cup in his hand and drank it in one gulp.
The three old guys were ready to fight.
He smiled, used the ability of the Saint Realm to control space, and disappeared in a flash.
Lin Ming: ๑乛◡乛๑ is stuck in a strange place
The extraordinary saint was driven away by three Taihe realms... Interesting!
The little guy sat on Lin Ming's shoulder, chuckled twice, and then lay down, patting his belly, "Brother Ming, I'm going to the Divine Museum tonight, can you take me with you?"
"Okay." Lin Ming smiled.
