Global Barrier
The more they praised, the more excited they became. Their bodies trembled with excitement, their voices choked with sobs, and tears welled up in their eyes.
Meng Shuang smiled shyly and never said a word.
From time to time, she nodded seriously and solemnly to this person and that person.
Every time they saw her eyes full of solemnity and determination, they burst into tears.
Amidst the low cries and laughter, only Meng Qiyun remained silent.
It is true that his cousin is competitive and extraordinary, but she is just an ordinary person after all.
Carrying the expectations of so many people on his own, he didn't know if Meng Shuangfu would feel tired or if he would have any rebellious thoughts.
But as for the brothers and sisters, just watching and listening, they felt bitterness in their hearts.
The children of their generation have lived together since they were young, jumping around and getting beaten every now and then.
There was never any sign of Meng Shuangfu among them.
Whenever they sat on a tall tree, they could look back and see the girl in the window.
——From childhood to adulthood, they are like witnesses of the child’s growth.
Meng Shuangfu is a good boy, unlike these naughty monkeys.
The adults wanted to separate them, fearing that she would be led astray by them, but they were also worried and did not dare to lock Meng Shuangfu in a completely enclosed environment.
So, they looked at each other through the window or the crowd.
Until Meng Shuangfu was seven years old.
The adults released her, allowing her to interact with them and the new geniuses in the North...
And he reminded her from time to time that she was different from them and that she shouldn't get too close to them.
She is a leader and a guiding star, and should not be lost in the dust.
Meng Qiyun lowered his head and silently reached out to take the teacup on the small table.
As soon as his fingertips touched the surface of the teacup, Meng Qiyun suddenly let out a scream.
It instantly interrupted everyone's sentimentality.
“It’s so hot…”
With tears in his eyes, Meng Qiyun retracted his hand, occasionally making a "ouch, ouch" sound and shaking his right hand slightly.
He turned his head, tears streaming down his face, and cried out, "My Lord, it's all your fault for spilling my tea just now!"
"You have thick skin, how come you're afraid of this little bit of heat?!"
Pingjiang Hou said with a look of disgust.
"How can this be just 'a little hot'? It's really, really hot!"
Meng Qiyun looked at the redness and swelling of her right fingers with tears in her eyes, pouting and looking aggrieved.
Across from her, Meng Shuangfu raised her eyes and asked worriedly, "Did my little cousin get burned?"
She tilted her head, looked at Bei Ling on her shoulder, and asked hesitantly, "Master Bei Ling, you..."
"Need not!"
Meng Qiyun immediately interrupted her with a sharp voice, her face full of horror.
"It's just a minor burn, why should I bother Lord Bei Ling?"
Meng Qiyun gave a flattering smile to the man and bird in front of him, rubbed his fingers quickly, and put down his hands.
Bei Ling opened one eye, gave him an expression that said "it's good enough for you to know", sneered, and closed his eyes again.
Everyone who was paying attention to that direction was immediately shocked and fell silent.
After a moment, a burly man suddenly leaned forward and twisted Meng Qiyun's ear with his hand.
He ignored Meng Qiyun's wailing of "Ouch, ouch", smiled awkwardly in that direction, turned his head and shouted at Meng Qiyun:
"Have you practiced for nothing all these years?! How can a little tea really burn you? How dare you cry like that?!"
Meng Qiyun reached out to grab his arm, his features twisted in pain. "Dad, Dad, Dad, I was wrong, I was wrong, don't twist it, don't twist it... my ear is going to be ripped off!!"
The man snorted heavily and shook his hand away, still muttering in dissatisfaction:
"Shuang Fu can command a huge army and capture a city, and you're still crying over a cup of tea. Why can't you learn from Shuang Fu? After all these years, if you can just learn even three times of Shuang Fu's skills, I, your father, will be satisfied and thank God!"
Meng Qiyun rubbed his ears, and after listening, he immediately covered his ears with both hands and shrank his upper body to the side, "I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen..."
"You! You are such a troublesome evil creature!" The man suddenly became furious and raised his hand to hit him.
The next moment, Meng Shuangfu called out "Third Uncle" to stop him.
The man immediately looked over.
Meng Shuang smiled lightly and said, "My little cousin is very capable. He even helped the Marquis defend the three cities yesterday!"
“Ah, ah…haha, really…”
The man was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face.
He relaxed the strength in his hands, patted Meng Qiyun's shoulders twice, and said modestly:
"It's mainly because of the Marquis. This kid doesn't have any skills on his own. It's only after following the Marquis and you over the years that he finally stopped playing around and started learning a few things..."
Meng Qiyun put down his hands that were covering his ears and curled his lips.
Beside him, Pingjiang Hou chuckled twice and said, "This kid has also contributed to this. Very good, young talent, Old Ye, don't expect too much."
Everyone also smiled and said, "Yes, yes, we haven't seen Qiyun for two years, and he has grown a lot." "Don't look at this kid as crazy on weekdays, he is very steady when it comes to work." "He killed a lot of enemies last night." These were some compliments.
The man burst out laughing, but still said:
"Having said that, I have made some progress, thanks to the experience I gained with the Marquis, but I'm still not half as good as Shuang Fu."
Everyone laughed.
"In this northern land, who can compare to Shuang Fu——!!!"
Smiling, everyone looked at the girl with proud and gratified eyes.
Meng Shuang showed a shy smile.
She lowered her head slightly, her voice soft and sticky: "Don't, stop talking..."
Everyone laughed softly again.
Their morning star in the north deserves all the praise and admiration they can offer.
It’s not about whether she deserves it or not, it’s that only the most beautiful things in the world are worthy of her!
"Alright, alright..." Pingjiang Hou said with a smile, "We're all gathered here, having some fun, but we need to discuss the next steps."
Everyone laughed and said "yes" quickly.
"We have captured four cities in Lin. The original barrier of Lin Kingdom is basically useless. Even if they want to modify it, it won't be easy or quick to complete it."
One of them turned the ring and said seriously.
Pingjiang Hou nodded and said, "We must recuperate and replenish our resources as quickly as possible. We must seize this opportunity to prevent them from repairing their shells and hiding inside. Then, it will be difficult for us to defeat them."
"Right now, they have been defeated in this battle and suffered heavy losses. They will definitely not confront us head-on again." Another man said with his eyes half closed and stroking his long beard.
The man twirling the ring nodded and said, "Yes, taking another city this time is already an unexpected surprise."
He unconsciously turned his eyes to look at the girl again, a smile on his face, "You are indeed worthy of being Shuangfu."
Meng Shuangfu smiled at him and said, "The right time, right place, and right people are all essential. It's all the result of everyone's hard work."
The man said nothing about it.
For a genius, being humble, low-key and knowing how to share credit and benefits with others is a form of self-protection.
He turned his eyes away and said with a smile, "Next, we can't just fight recklessly. We have to outsmart them."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Hey~"
A hand suddenly raised up.
Everyone looked over.
Meng Qiyun raised his right hand high, a bright smile on his face, and said excitedly: "They say that winning the heart is the best way, so let's win the hearts of the Lin people!"
Across from her, Meng Shuangfu cooperated with a curious look on her face and asked, "Cousin, do you have a good idea?"
Meng Qiyun's father immediately frowned and said unhappily:
"I don't know when the Lin Kingdom's barrier will be modified, or maybe they have some other plan. This is a big deal, and time is running out. If you haven't thought it through, don't say it out loud. You're making a fool of yourself and wasting everyone's time."
Meng Qiyun curled his lips, and the excitement on his face instantly turned into unhappiness. He put down his hand and snorted at him.
"What did your father say that was wrong?"
Meng Qiyun's father frowned and said, "This is no joke. You're just thinking about this and that. Think carefully before you say anything and see if it's feasible!"
Meng Qiyun's whole body wilted in an instant.
"My little cousin always has good ideas." Meng Shuang smiled softly, "In the past, we would ask my little cousin for help with everything, big or small!"
Hearing this, Meng Qiyun's father couldn't help but smile again.
He glanced at Meng Qiyun with a smile, grinning, and said, "Shuang Fu is willing to speak for you. Then tell us all about it and see how much you've improved over the years."
Meng Qiyun looked at the girl opposite him with a touched expression.
Meng Shuangfu smiled at him and nodded.
"Shuang Fu will speak for you," and only when Shuang Fu speaks will they look at him straight in the face... In fact, these are unpleasant words.
If someone had a bad temper, he might even blame Meng Shuangfu as well.
But Meng Qiyun won’t, and neither will the other brothers and sisters of the Meng family.
It’s not because of the idea that “Meng Shuangfu is the future of everyone in the North” that has been instilled in me for many years, but because Meng Shuangfu is very good.
Meng Shuangfu is a very good person.
She can be a little mean, but never malicious.
She spoke up to help them out, and it was others who misinterpreted her intentionally or unintentionally.
Meng Qiyun thought about it, and felt warm in his heart. He lowered his head and smiled, then raised his head and said excitedly:
"Attacking the heart is the best strategy. Since the Lin people love money like their life, let's start from this point!"
As soon as these words were spoken.
Everyone looked thoughtful.
Instead, it was Meng Qiyun's father who frowned fiercely without any tacit understanding.
The man pondered for a moment but couldn't find the key. He looked at the people around him who were thinking deeply, then looked at Meng Qiyun, unconsciously emphasizing his tone and said impatiently:
"Just be direct with what you want to say. Why are you hesitating and being vague and wasting everyone's time trying to guess what's going on?!"
Meng Qiyun snorted and glanced at him with disdain.
The man's face flushed with anger, and he raised his hand to slap him, "You little brat, you have no respect for your age. What's that look in your father's eyes?!"
“Yeah.”
Pingjiang Hou raised his hand to interrupt him, "Old Ye, don't be so angry. What this kid said makes sense."
Meng Qiyun showed a proud look, nodded vigorously, and said:
"As for tactics, we need to adapt to changing circumstances. Just have a general idea and adjust accordingly."
The man frowned and said disapprovingly, "What a twisted logic! Wars must be planned in advance. Are you planning while fighting? Before you can even think it through, the enemy is already in front of you."
He looked at Meng Shuangfu and said, "Shuangfu, isn't that right? We always plan ahead."
Meng Shuangfu kept smiling and said nothing.
——This is the elder, no matter what, it is not easy for her, a junior, to say anything.
The others also smiled and did not comment.
At this time, Pingjiang Hou raised his head and laughed heartily.
