Seven months later.
Yang Rui crossed the gate of Tonghu Pass with a dusty foot, and felt a sense of intimacy in his heart when he looked at the familiar military robes of the Nanyuan Border Army.
came back. In the past three years, I have traveled to more than a dozen countries. What I have gained is not only my knowledge and age, but also the path of cultivation in my heart.
After crossing the Tonghu Pass, Yang Rui did not hide his identity anymore. The badge of the Thirteenth Prince was enough to instantly make him the most noble person in the entire Beijiang County. He also summoned the royal guards who had been waiting in Beijiang County for a long time and rushed all the way to Yuanding Imperial City without stopping.
What arrived at Yuanding Imperial City before Yang Rui was Feiyu's news about his return to Nanyuan Kingdom. In fact, it is not only the Yuanding Imperial City that is paying attention to Yang Rui's whereabouts, but also many forces that are eyeing the core figures of the cliff mountain. Now that Yang Rui is back, he naturally needs to update the news in his hands in all aspects.
Especially Huayue Kingdom, they even sent a team of wedding envoys to follow Yang Rui all the way back to the imperial city.
This is actually a bit of a loss of status. It is already shameful for Dangtang Shangguo to behave like he is climbing up the ladder. If it were elsewhere, I'm afraid it would attract a lot of ridicule. But the engagement fell on Yang Rui, which was different. Not only was he not ridiculed, but he was understood and approved by most people.
That's the second disciple of Duoya Mountain! As long as you can seize a marriage, it's okay to be more humble.
The reason why all the forces understand and even envy Huayue Shangguo is the news released by Nanyuan Kingdom more than half a year ago.
Nowadays, wherever information is not blocked, who doesn't know to keep a close eye on those children? From six to fifteen years old, you have to calculate it. Counting from the time the news is sent out, one year later, the maximum age will be fifteen years old, and the minimum age will be six years old. There is no difference at all. Beyond these there are no restrictions.
I used to say that we should give our children a chance to pursue a bright future. But most of the opportunities are in the hands of the so-called upper class. It is extremely difficult for the children at the bottom to get up and walk, and it requires all kinds of luck to make it possible. Even accumulation from generation to generation can truly change one's social status.
More people at the bottom have no chance of promotion at all. They have to run for survival. How can future generations climb up if even literacy is a luxury?
But now there is a new opportunity.
Became a registered disciple of Duoyashan.
There is no need for family background, no identity, no gender distinction, and no need for you to take care of anything. The only thing to look at is "luck". No one can see the inexplicable luck.
Other places have begun to learn from Nanyuan Kingdom's strategy, and have begun to gradually abandon the inherent idea of aristocratic families taking all the quotas. Although they are reluctant, in the face of this kind of thing, there is really no way to step on the people at the bottom to prevent the other party from coming up.
Of course, it will definitely not be as thorough as Nanyuan Kingdom. After all, there is a difference between distance and determination. The Nanyuan Kingdom can send its entire nation to attend the conference in the cliff mountain, but other countries do not have such favorable geographical conditions.
Huayue and Beiwu are two countries that follow Nanyuan Kingdom's strategy to the greatest extent. Firstly, they are the closest, and secondly, they are second only to Nanyuan Kingdom in terms of contact with Duyashan, and they know it the most.
There is another key message here. That means that this time Duoyashan will accept fifty registered disciples. Moreover, these fifty people will not directly belong to Zhang Yan's sect like Yang Rui and the other three, but will temporarily start practicing as disciples of the cliff mountain.
Although there was no follow-up to this news, smart people figured out the meaning after thinking about it for a while.
It's just that Zhang Yan will no longer teach apprentices in person. Or Zhang Yan will only show up again when a particularly outstanding seedling appears. And these registered disciples will select the best ones based on their performance after entering the mountain, and then they will most likely become the third generation disciples of Duoya Mountain.
In other words, even if these fifty people perform well in the future, they are unlikely to practice with Zhang Yan. Instead, they will practice with Yang Rui and other second-generation disciples.
By analogy, when Duoyashan recruits people again, Yang Rui and other second-generation disciples will most likely become masters, uncles, and uncles. There may be ten or hundreds of disciples under his command.
What's this? This is the real power representing the Longhu Mountain Gate of Duya Mountain! Not just personal strength! Anyone with a discerning eye who distinguishes between the various forces can see clearly.
Therefore, Hua Yueguo not only did not give up or let go of his engagement with Yang Rui because it took too long, but became more and more nervous about it.
Along the way, Yang Rui saw the team of Huayue National Marriage Envoys who were following him, and was troubled in his heart. He suddenly realized that his previous thoughts might have been too simplistic.
It was already night when we returned to Yuanding Imperial City. Yang Rui holds the Thirteenth Prince's waistband and can enter the city at night, all the way to the palace gate. And after arriving at the palace, he did not go to the harem to visit his mother and concubine, but went directly to the Wanmin Palace to find his father.
Business matters. It's okay to leave the matter of greeting the mother and concubine to tomorrow.
Yang Sheng knew that his thirteenth son would enter the palace tonight, and he would not go to bed early on weekdays, so he was waiting for him to come over in the study room of Wanmin Palace.
No anti-theft
"My son, please see your father!"
After Yang Rui paid homage, he stood aside in a dignified manner. In his eyes, his father seems to be more energetic than he was three years ago.
"Okay! Just come back! Gee, have you grown so much? I guess you will be taller than my father next year." Yang Sheng happily took Yang Rui's hand and led him to sit down on the edge.
"My son, I haven't come back for a long time to pay my respects to my father. Please punish me." Yang Rui said and knelt down again.
"You also know that you haven't been back for a long time? You child, just tell me if you have something. We are a family, what can't be discussed? I have to run away far away. Is this necessary? I heard that you ran away this time Have you been to the Ice and Snow North? It’s far enough away. What’s the scenery like there? Is it as pleasant as described in the book?”
...
Yang Sheng's verbal skills are far inferior to Yang Rui's. In just a few words, he brought out all the blame, complaint, heartache, fatherly love, and family affection. Yang Rui's escape was not even directly described as a big trouble. After a few words, they actually talked about the scenery of the North Country. The atmosphere instantly made Yang Rui, who was still a little nervous, relax.
The father and son chatted more and more animatedly, and even Yang Rui could laugh along with Yang Sheng's laughter.
From beginning to end, Yang Sheng never mentioned the marriage that disgusted Yang Rui the most.
"You said you found the treasure. Take it out and take a look. I want to see what makes my son so nervous." Yang Sheng joked with a smile.
"Father, I'm not bluffing. My son's trip has really yielded great results."
"What's the catch?"
"My son found the place of death of Xu Yegong, the ninth prince of Qiande Kingdom, and found Wu Xin Shuiyu who was taken away by him."
"Huh? What did you say!?"
