There is such a place in Yandu.
Within the Summer Palace, there is a garden within a garden called Yi Garden, which is warm in winter and cool in summer, with beautiful mountains and clear waters.
The tall walls stand majestically, but the vermilion gate remains closed year-round, rarely opened for anyone.
But today, it has been opened.
A Hongqi sedan slowly drove in.
A few minutes later, the Hongqi car slowly stopped at the entrance of an impressive courtyard.
The surrounding area is filled with ancient buildings with upturned corners, built in the style of ancient times.
The servants below the gate were all dressed in long robes and simple attire; if one didn't know better, one might think they had traveled back to a previous dynasty.
As soon as Chen Fusheng got out of the car, two servants came over and personally helped him walk into the courtyard.
At that moment, two elderly men with white beards were playing chess in the courtyard.
These two elderly men, one surnamed Ji and the other surnamed Feng, were the most influential people in this ancient courtyard.
Even someone of Chen Fusheng's status wouldn't dare to disturb him upon arrival, and could only sit aside and wait.
After a moment, the old man surnamed Feng laughed heartily, poured the remaining pieces into the bowl, and said, "Old Ji, you've lost!"
The old man surnamed Ji shook his head, a regretful expression on his face, and sighed, "One move off, one move off!"
The old man surnamed Feng laughed and said, "My move is called 'surprise attack,' otherwise how could I have killed your dragon without anyone noticing! You're getting old and your eyesight is failing!"
The old man surnamed Ji nodded. "Yes, I'm old. I've been in this deep palace for so many years, my brain is almost rusty! I don't know how much longer I can see the sun!"
As he spoke, he looked up at the sky, his eyes showing a hint of weariness and despondency.
They are people who have lived for far too long, and for people like them, sometimes living is a burden.
Who could imagine that a person as frail as a piece of rotten wood would cling to life for the sake of the rise and fall of their nation and the continuation of their bloodline? How utterly exhausted they must be.
However, today, the elderly man surnamed Feng appeared to be in high spirits.
The old man surnamed Ji asked with some surprise, "You old fellow, do you have some good news to share recently?"
"Oh, by the way, I heard that your third daughter's face has been healed?" The old man surnamed Ji couldn't help but ask again, remembering something.
The old man surnamed Feng nodded proudly and said, "My ugly daughter used to be so ugly that I didn't even want to recognize her. I never expected that she would be cured this time, and she even found me a perfect husband. How could I not be happy?"
The old man surnamed Ji was slightly taken aback, then frowned and said, "My Divine Blood Clan has an agreement that we never intermarry with other races in order to maintain the purity of our bloodline. Have you forgotten this rule?"
Ji Wuhen was very fond of the third daughter of the Feng family, because she was the most gifted and had the fewest bloodline issues among the younger generation of the Feng family. This made them a suitable match for marriage.
How could he be happy when the cooked duck was about to fly away?
However, Feng Li's lips curled up slightly, "Who said I broke the rules? My granddaughter is looking for someone with divine blood!"
Ji Wuhen was slightly taken aback, then frowned and said, "Could it be the Shi family? That kid from the Shi family is indeed quite good, but Lao Feng, among the three families of Shenxue, our two families have always been closer. Given our friendship, how can you let your good fortune flow into the hands of outsiders?"
Ji Wuhen was extremely dissatisfied because the two of them had previously tacitly agreed to the marriage, but they never expected that the old man would change his mind!
Feng Li smiled and said, "You've misunderstood. My grandson-in-law is not a member of the Shi family!"
"Not a member of the Shi family?"
Ji Wuhen's expression grew increasingly strange, and he frowned, saying, "Don't tell me it's the Ao family, one of the Four Divine Bloodlines. The Ao family has declined to the point of decline, with only a branch remaining, and their bloodline is very thin. Aren't you just ruining Hongye's life?"
"Not at all!" Feng Li said with a half-smile. "The Ao family has not declined; on the contrary, I think the Ao family is about to rise again!"
"Hmm?" Ji Wuhen was slightly taken aback, then realized something. "You mean..."
At this point, Feng Li waved his hand and pointed to the side.
“Fusheng has been here for half a day, he must have something to say to you, you should tell him first!” Feng Li said with a smile.
Chen Fusheng's old body trembled, and he quickly stood up, leaning on his cane.
"Chen Fusheng, Special Operations Brigade of the 8th Column, reporting to the two leaders!"
Chen Fusheng discarded his cane, his old body standing straight like a steel spear, and saluted the two men.
And his eyes held undisguised awe!
Back then, he was just a small corps commander and witnessed two war gods charge into battle.
In this battle, the two men tore a hole in the enemy's column, laying a solid foundation for the victory in the War of Resistance.
In his eyes, these two were gods!
Ji Wuhen smiled and said, "Fusheng, you're not that old anymore, don't be so serious, come and sit down!"
The two of them took good care of their younger brother back then.
Although noble families like the Divine Bloodline rarely interact with outsiders, the battlefield is a special place where there is no distinction between high and low, noble and lowly; everyone is a brother who has risked their life for each other.
This military career is one of the few memorable experiences in their lives.
Chen Fusheng sat down as instructed, and then began to complain to Ji Wuhen.
The cabinet was accused of abusing its power for personal gain and suppressing the Chen family!
The second lawsuit against the Lin family is an act of treason, showing no respect for the aristocratic families!
Because everyone knows that behind the aristocratic clans are families with divine blood! To challenge the authority of an aristocratic clan is to challenge the divine blood!
However, these words didn't really resonate with Ji Wuhen and Feng Li.
They were already outsiders; their support for the cabinet and aristocratic families was merely for the purpose of governing the world.
