Everything was out of Watson's expectation. He did not expect that the old monk would let his sister and Tantai Xiaoyu go to Tianshan to live and practice with their godfather.
After thinking about it, among a group of brothers and sisters, it seems that only Hua Yu and Tantai Xiaoyu have the lowest cultivation level.
It was so low that even the old monk on the battlefield in southern Xinjiang did not dare to let the two go and see it.
After listening to the old monk's words, I felt that although my body was hungry, my consciousness and energy were even stronger than before.
It seemed that he was really on the verge of breaking out.
As long as he took good care of himself for a few days, he would once again break through to a level he didn't even think about.
Thinking of this, Watson looked at the old monk and said excitedly: "It's a pity that the disciple couldn't bring anything back from that world. Please meet my parents and tell them."
The old monk waved his hand and said with a faint smile: "I dare not give them the golden tiger meat you brought last time, for fear that I would have to wait until next spring."
After speaking, regardless of whether Watson had anything to say, the golden light gradually disappeared, and the old monk was no longer in the room.
I looked stunned for a moment, thinking that I still have many things I haven’t asked you.
Just leave? I don’t know what my sister Hong and my mother are doing at home. Perhaps, in the old monk's opinion, no news is the best news.
He sorted out his feelings carefully and immediately relaxed his nervous heart.
The matter between the two sisters has been resolved. I will wait for a few days to rest before breaking through.
When Junior Uncle Hei comes back, he will leave Yinshan and go to the grassland to find trouble with the Nanhai army.
Even if it snows, it can't stop him.
It was difficult for the army to move in such weather, but it was not difficult for him and Xiao Hei.
…
The cold wind howled, but the living room of the Nanyun City Lord's Mansion was steaming with steam.
After getting the news of Xiao Hei's return, even Nalan Yu, who was hiding in the house, came to the living room where Ouyang Dongli was.
"How's Watson doing?"
The first thing Nalan Yu said when he walked in was Watson. He looked at Xiao Hei and said, "He is behind the enemy now. He will have to cause some trouble for the South China Sea Army this winter. We cannot let them feel comfortable in the three towns."
Xiao Hei put down the teacup and said, "Watson just woke up. I'm afraid he will need to rest for a few days. After all, he has been sleeping for half a year. I don't think any of you can do it."
The living room was quiet. Although everyone understood that what Xiao Hei said was right, the current situation was different from before.
There are many things in southern Xinjiang that need Watson to complete.
Of the entire Southern Xinjiang army, only Watson is behind the Nanhai army. In the words of the old monk, he can do a lot of things.
Nalan Yu frowned slightly and said, "I understand what everyone is worried about, but now that Watson has woken up, we can no longer be anxious and give him time."
Hua Luoyu remained silent until this moment, then she looked at Nalan Yu and sighed solemnly.
He said quietly: "General, I don't know what happened to Watson in the past six months, but the situation in southern Xinjiang in the coming year will not be good?"
Nalan Yu shook his head, thinking that the Imperial Master on Tianshan Mountain might not be able to return to southern Xinjiang, and he couldn't help but feel a hint of fatigue in his brows.
After thinking for a while, he said: "This winter, everyone doesn't need to do anything. I still have some back-ups in front of Nanyun City."
Hua Luoyu had a headache and asked, "Are we just going to wait like this?"
Nalan Yu smiled and said quietly: "You didn't see that the Imperial Master was here with me back then. The situation is the same. All we have to do is wait."
"What are you waiting for?" Wang Ruyi sitting aside asked.
"Wait until next spring and wait for the South China Sea army to break through our last trench." Nalanyu replied.
"What if they don't come? Should we attack Hui San Town?" Ma Feihu frowned.
"Even if they don't come, we can't move." Nalan Yu said quietly: "The national master said back then that fighting is about beating the eagle, beating the opponent, and beating yourself."
Nalan Yu thought for a while, looked at everyone and said, "I think back then, the Imperial Master and I had already reached the top of Xichun City and had almost settled everything."
"Then what?" Hua Luoyu asked softly from the side, because she did not personally participate in that war.
She wanted to know how Li Xiuyuan spent his last moments.
Nalanyu smiled: "So it's midsummer, so we built a bamboo shed outside the city and just lay on the ground to boil ourselves and the great Khans of the grassland!"
"It wasn't until we finally got into the ring with them that we finally made peace."
After sighing softly, Nalan Yu roared angrily: "It has only been so long, but some Khan kings on the grassland have forgotten the pain of the past."
Hua Luoyu sighed softly when he heard this, and said quietly: "They couldn't defeat you back then, so they must not give up?"
Nalan Yu shook his head and said: "They are planning to kill my brother who is unwilling to interfere in worldly affairs on Tianshan Mountain. Otherwise, who would dare to invade our southern border?"
Ouyang Dongli thought for a while, looked at him and said softly: "You also said that it has been decades. What if my disciple never comes back? It is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself."
Hearing this, Hua Luoyu sighed softly, touched Wang Ruyi's head and smiled: "This battle depends on you."
Wang Ruyi squinted her eyes and smiled: "Don't be afraid, brother Watson is back."
Xiao Hei, who was sitting nearby, saw that everyone was chatting happily and actually forgot about him, so he couldn't help but croaked.
"I said, do you want to starve me to death after flying back to you in the wind and snow?"
When Wang Ruyi heard this, he quickly took out his snacks and chuckled: "Uncle, eat first, I will cook with the master."
Fu Sheng also stood up, looked at her and said, "I'll go too."
Xiao Hei nodded, looked at Nalan Yu and said, "While I'm still here, you can discuss with Master Ouyang what you want Watson to do next?"
Nalan Yu laughed when he heard this, and cupped his hands with Ouyang Dongli and said, "This is a big deal. We must think about it as carefully as possible."
…
Because all the traders and people related to southern Xinjiang in the three towns were evacuated.
Those who left either went to Nanyun City or were scattered in Tianfeng City and the surrounding towns.
Because the Palace Lord has told everyone that just like in previous years, when the war is over, everyone can still go back to live in the three towns. If the house is damaged, it will be repaired by the Territory Lord's Palace.
Even the Linghu family, who was exiled to three towns in southern Xinjiang by the emperor and the imperial master, also moved out of the three towns before the war started and came to Tianfeng City under the arrangement of Yang Kaiyi.
After consulting the emperor, they found several courtyards in the west of Tianfeng City for the Linghu family to settle down.
In the words of the emperor, after the war, the Linghu family could choose to move back to the three towns in southern Xinjiang, or they could continue to stay in Tianfeng City. This was a special favor to the Linghu family.
As Li Xiuyuan said, the emperor's only shortcoming is that he is too soft-hearted.
There is snow on winter nights, so several courtyards are connected into one. Although it looks a bit quiet, it is not like the grand scene of the palace in the imperial city.
Lanterns were hung under the eaves of the courtyards everywhere. It was still late at night, and the mistress of the Linghu family still could not sleep peacefully.
Because at nightfall, a person came in a hurry from Baiyu City.
Grandfather and grandson faced each other across the table. Linghu Shanshan had a confused look on her face and sat silently at the table without saying a word. There were still tears in the corners of her eyes, but she looked at the old man's eyes with a bit of pity.
More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. The once arrogant mistress of the Linghu family has finally suffered a lot of hardships after the family's sudden change and exile.
The last time she separated from Linghu Shanshan was the year Wutianhua was ordered to escort the Linghu clan to the three towns in southern Xinjiang.
In the blink of an eye, the girl back then has become a middle-aged woman.
The old man felt pity in his heart, looked at Linghu Shanshan and said harmoniously: "You have been married to the Wang family's children for so many years, why have you never thought about having a son and a half daughter?"
The baby girl Linghushan looked at the old man getting older and didn't know what to say for a while.
After a long while, he raised his head and said somewhat dullly: "Isn't there a war now? Spring will come and we will go to Nanyun City. Even if we want to have children, we have to wait until this war is over."
"Where is that girl from the Wei family? Has she given birth?" the old man asked directly.
Linghu Shanshan slowly shook her head: "She will also go to Nanyun City by then. How can she be thinking about the child at this time?"
Both she and Wei Qingyu were focused on the battlefield in southern Xinjiang.
Even Wang Tianhua, everyone knew that if this war could not be defeated, not to mention the child, the entire five regions would be in danger.
"Speaking of which, you two are really stubborn. What does this war have to do with having children? If you are afraid that no one will take care of you, you can send them to Tianfeng City when the time comes. Doesn't the old man of the Wang family want to have a grandson?"
Seeing his granddaughter's entangled appearance, the old man became angry for no reason. She had experienced a gap from heaven to earth in these years, and originally thought that she had long been content with the status quo and resigned to her fate.
Unexpectedly, Linghu Shanshan, who had been married for many years, still had no children, so she couldn't help but worry about him.
Fortunately, the Wei family's girl had not given birth, so the old man breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she knew that she might not be able to turn around this year, she was very satisfied that the Linghu family could return to Tianfeng City from the remote three towns and settle down.
His next thoughts will naturally be on his beloved granddaughter.
Linghu Shanshan smiled faintly and said softly: "Don't worry about this for me, old man. Do you know why I came to Tianfeng City at this time?"
Linghu Shanshan remembered what Wei Qingyu and Wang Tianhua had told him before she left, and couldn't help but sigh.
After the beginning of spring, the cruelest war in southern Xinjiang begins. Both she and Wang Tianhua are afraid that the disciples of the Linghu family will cause some trouble at this time.
In that case, I'm afraid that the emperor's hard-earned sympathy would turn into a sea of flames in the blink of an eye.
"Grandma, now the Linghu family has a new way of living."
Linghu Shanshan's face gradually calmed down and she said: "No matter what happened before, when the country is in crisis, the disciples of the Linghu family cannot come out to cause trouble for the dynasty."
The old man's heart trembled. She could see a hint of worry in her granddaughter's calm expression, and couldn't help but sigh softly.
His voice trembled slightly and he said: "I will naturally take care of this matter. Anyone who seeks trouble at this time will want to kill our entire Linghu family."
Hearing these words, Linghu Shanshan suddenly raised her head, a fire flashing in her eyes.
Then he looked at the old man and said: "Eldest sister, Tianhua, I, and I are fighting hard in front, as well as all the troops of the dynasty. If anyone dares to cause trouble at this time, he really wants to harm everyone."
The old man nodded and sighed softly: "Don't worry about this. If the current emperor needs us to go to the battlefield, it will be fine. As long as the Linghu family can have a place in Tianfeng City..."
Linghu Shanshan raised her head and looked at the old man with a determined look: "There is no need for the Linghu family to come out for this matter. The dynasty has not reached any step yet, and we are still here."
The old man took a deep breath and said directly: "It seems that you made a wise choice to marry that boy from the Wang family. The girl from the Wei family didn't bully you, right?"
The baby girl Linghu Shan smiled slightly and said, "We are the best sisters, how could she bully me?"
The old man smiled faintly when he heard this, looked at her and said, "It seems that you have got the happiness you want from the Wang family boy."
Linghu Shanshan said softly: "Everything about me, speaking of it, the Imperial Master also persuaded Wang Tianhua back then, otherwise he would not dare to marry me."
