Yingtian City.
Humble Administrator's Garden.
There was a drizzle in the sky.
Sitting on the Jianshan Tower in the garden, Fu Xiaoguan looked out at the misty Huanxi Lake in front of him, and only looked away after a while.
His eyes swept over his wives. Their faces were all very nervous, and Wu Linger's face was full of guilt.
The atmosphere is very depressing, just like this rainy day.
Fu Xiaoguan grinned and said, "I say, after not seeing you for four years, don't you miss me?"
Dong Shulan looked up and glared at him. "Going to Frankie was the last thing you agreed to do for Daxia! You agreed to stay in Yingtian City after this was over... Now all the construction in Yingtian City is complete, and all the wasteland within a radius of hundreds of miles has been reclaimed. You said you wanted to be a free and easy landlord. Now you have the city and the land. Isn't this exactly what you want?"
Fu Xiaoguan was about to speak when Dong Shulan suddenly started to spill the beans: "Do you know how long you've been with us in the past four years... no, these past ten years or so?"
"All in all, it's probably less than half a year!"
"We sisters all understand this. After all, you founded the Great Xia. We also hope that the Great Xia will become better under your governance, so that it can at least leave a good reputation as a prosperous era in history books."
"Now is the heyday of Daxia, and you have already relieved Daxia of this heavy burden. You have done more than enough for the people of Daxia, but what about us?"
Dong Shulan pointed at Su Su and said, "Su Su has been waiting for you until she reached the Saint level!"
"She wanted to give you two more children, but how many nights did you sleep in her room after you married her?"
"Speaking of Sima Che, she has been following you since the old Wofeng Road. She was only fifteen or sixteen back then. A woman's most beautiful years have slipped away with you."
"How long were you in her room?"
"It's not that we have to sleep together. We know you're tired, but you once vowed that once Da Xia gets back on track, you'll stay by our side, by our children's side, and be a good husband and father!"
"We follow you because of your talent, of course, but not because of your status!"
"What we really hope for is that you can live a good life as a small landlord, just like the small landlords we once were in Linjiang."
"You are our backbone, the mainstay of our family! Because of you, we sisters have come together, but now you are going to do that dangerous thing..."
Dong Shulan scolded him and looked at Wu Ling'er. Her face didn't show blame, but guilt. "We all know that Tianci's arrival wasn't easy, but now that he's gone to that mysterious place, there are unknown risks..."
"We also hope that Tianci can return safely, but Mom said... She said that there is a high possibility that he will never return from that place!"
"We have lost God's gift, think about it,"
Dong Shulan looked at Fu Xiaoguan again and took a deep breath. "Think carefully about it. If we lose you again... how are we going to live in the future?"
These words are full of meaning.
Fu Xiaoguan knew very well that he rarely spent time with his wife and children, and he felt guilty about it.
Every woman here has an unforgettable past with him and is his beloved whom he cannot give up. It is because of them that he has been planning the rest of his life early on.
What he hoped for in the rest of his life was to have his wife by his side, to accompany him to walk around the fields, and to have his children by his side, with their hearty laughter lingering in his ears.
But now...
He looked up at the distant dark mountains in the drizzle, and his heart began to waver.
He knew the danger of that nuclear base better than Xu Yunqing.
After Frankie read half of the Great Prophecy, he had already decided to list the Far North as a forbidden area. He hoped that the place would eventually disappear in the long river of time, and he also hoped that the dangers left in the place would be slowly purified by time.
As for the eighteenth floor of Tianji Pavilion, his curiosity about that place gradually faded due to his age, and he no longer had the desire to go there to find out what was going on.
But now Tianci has encountered such a thing.
Could it be that this is God's will?
Fatty had been walking with Su Jue and the others for three days. No one knew how far it was from here to the Far North. Mother only said that they were well prepared and had brought a thousand natives carrying all kinds of supplies.
But they didn't take those protective suits with them!
That thing is not something that a Saint can resist.
Even if they could kill the Second Dream, they would all die in nuclear radiation. Even if there were lucky ones, their future fate would be the same as that of Frankie's high priest, a life worse than death.
So I have to go.
For Tianci and for Fatty!
Fu Xiaoguan nodded, "Shulan is right."
"I feel lucky and blessed to have you. I promise you... I won't go to that place. I will stay by your side for the rest of my life, watching the sunrise and sunset with you, and then, I will make our land wider and better!"
"really?"
Yu Wenjun stood up excitedly, and the other women all showed anticipation on their faces, even Wu Linger was no exception.
Tianci is her son, but Fu Xiaoguan is her husband!
She had figured it out these days, especially after the long talk between her and Xu Yunqing. She knew that there was little chance of saving her son, so she couldn't afford to lose her husband again.
"Why would I lie to you?"
Fu Xiaoguan picked up the teacup on the table and concealed his inner uneasiness. "Tomorrow, our whole family will go to the West Mountain Villa!"
"I need to take a good look at that place and dig a bigger wine cellar. I need to stock up on more Xishan Tianchun, because Yan Xiwen and the others will move their families here after they retire!"
"Oh, that's great!" Nangong Piaoxue said with joy, "I think the shipping to Frankie will start next year during the summer solstice. We can bring Grandpa and the others over then. The climate here is warmer than Guanyun City or Chang'an. It should be a good place for them to enjoy their old age!"
Fu Xiaoguan clapped his hands. "That's right. We'll build another large courtyard next to the West Mountain Villa. I hope to bring all the old ministers of Daxia here."
At this moment, Fu Xiaoguan seemed to have forgotten about Wu Tianci's matter. He was very engaged in talking about the future with his wives.
Such a future is certainly beautiful.
Like the cabins on the beach.
For example, the hot spring room in the snow-capped mountains.
For example, a glass workshop was opened in order to build a large mountain residence with a glass roof where one can watch the stars at night.
Bai Yulian took note of all of this, but his gaze towards Fu Xiaoguan became even heavier.
Although Dong Shulan had a happy look on her face, her heart gradually sank to the bottom.
She knew that when he told a lie, he was often more serious than when he told the truth.
