There is a courtyard in the middle of one side of the street.
The sunset is beautiful and the autumn breeze is pleasant.
There was a stone table in the middle of the courtyard, and four people were sitting in front of the table.
They are Peng Yuyan, Guan Xiaoxi, Yu Ruoxing and Wanyan Xuelian.
Peng Yuyan was making a pot of milk tea, and Guan Xiaoxi looked at her in a daze.
"Have you aged a lot?"
Guan Xiaoxi shook his head. "No, he's just a little older now, not as carefree as I remember him."
Wanyan Xuelian didn't understand. Aren't these mother and son? It's been a long time since they last met, so why didn't they show the excitement and joy of meeting each other?
Yu Ruoxing once lived in Jinling and had never met Guan Xiaoxi. She knew, of course, that her mother did not have such an illegitimate child, and she thought that he was her mother's former apprentice.
"If you have tea, remember to send me some next time. I'm used to drinking milk tea, but I still think plain tea tastes better."
"Okay, I'll definitely send some over next time."
Peng Yuyan poured four bowls of milk tea and handed them over, then looked up at Guan Xiaoxi with a kind smile on her face.
"I've never regretted letting you go at Qipanguan. Now you've finally made something of yourself. If it weren't for us getting involved... you would actually have made something even more."
"No, I think this is fine. Your Majesty has considered these things after all and did not let me make a choice."
The two girls were completely confused and had no idea what they were talking about. However, since the words involved His Majesty, they felt that it seemed very profound.
"He's a smart man, and you're one of his most capable and beloved generals. Before that incident, he sent Zhuo Donglai to deliver a letter to me, out of consideration for our past friendship. But the letter arrived a little late, and I ultimately didn't make it..."
"Actually, now that I think about it, it's actually a good thing I didn't catch up. If I had..."
Peng Yuyan smiled broadly, "If I catch up, who do you think I should help?"
"I will definitely help my husband. This way, it will only result in one more death."
Guan Xiaoxi took a deep breath, looked up at the azure sky, and after a moment he said in a low voice: "Southern border troops, three hundred thousand lives..."
Peng Yuyan frowned, "Guan Xiaoxi!"
Her voice suddenly became serious, and she said seriously: "It's a war between countries! I hope you can understand this!"
"Yu Wendao fought a desperate battle, gambling the fate of a nation with the lives of 600,000 soldiers. If Yu Wendao had won the Battle of Huazhong Plain, then perhaps it would have been the Wu Dynasty that was destroyed. But if Yu Wendao lost, my husband would be just a pawn on the chessboard, and the 300,000 southern border troops and the 300,000 Tiance Army would also be pawns on the chessboard!"
"Since the game is lost, the chess piece must be removed. This has nothing to do with justice, and even less with feelings!"
"I'm very happy that you can come to see me, but if you have such thoughts... Guan Xiaoxi, please go back. I don't want the tea anymore. Just pretend I don't know you."
In Wanyan Xuelian's impression, the tribal leader always had a smiling face and a pleasant expression. This was the first time she saw the teacher angry. His voice was not loud, but it was cold and chilling.
Guan Xiaoxi was also startled and lowered his head.
"Although I have long since left the general, in my heart..."
"Shut up!"
Peng Yuyan was furious. She stared at Guan Xiaoxi, "If you're dissatisfied with Fu Xiaoguan... you should be. Your abilities are superior to He Sandao's, but He Sandao is becoming famous, while you only went to Yi Country to fight an insignificant battle. If you're dissatisfied, then you can raise an army to rebel, but if you use the excuse of revenge for the general..."
Peng Yuyan narrowed her eyes, her gaze like a knife, "Guan Xiaoxi, I will chop you down myself!"
Guan Xiaoxi was horrified and quickly said, "I have never had the heart to compete for credit. I really just..."
"I don't want you to have any other thoughts. If you still recognize me as Peng Yuyan, remember this! Be a good soldier of Officer Fu!"
Guan Xiaoxi bowed, "I have never thought of rebelling against Fu Xiaoguan. He has been very kind to me."
"You're lucky to think this way. I'm not afraid of Fu Xiaoguan, but now that the country is unified, a powerful Great Xia is rising. This is a blessing for the country and the people of the world!"
Wanyan Xuelian finally understood what was said. It turned out that this man was a soldier under the Emperor of Daxia... No, he should be a general.
It turns out that the teacher is the wife of the general of the southern border army!
No wonder the teacher is so awesome.
This guy is so bold. Who is the Emperor of Daxia?
He is the god sent by God to save the people. Do you, a mere mortal, want to kill the emperor?
There were many people who wanted to kill the emperor, such as the emperor of Huang Kingdom, the emperor of Yi Kingdom, the emperor of Fan Kingdom, the emperor of Yu Dynasty... They were all emperors, but in the end, they were all killed by the emperor of Daxia.
"This is the Emperor of Great Xia's destiny. You, a man of understanding, should know better. Haven't you seen that our tribe has only been enjoying good times for two years? Are you so jealous of us living a good life? If it weren't for the affection you have for your teacher, I would have wanted to kill you!"
Wanyan Xuelian glared at Guan Xiaoxi, but Guan Xiaoxi still kept his head down, and the obsession in his heart finally dissipated.
Yes, he witnessed the great changes in Chi Lechuan with his own eyes.
The people of Yi State were once in dire straits, and every where they looked was a pale sight. But ever since Fu Xiaoguan conquered Yi State, the people have gradually regained hope.
This is his greatness. It seems that it is the destiny for such a person to unify the world.
"I understand. I will never have such thoughts again."
Peng Yuyan felt relieved and smiled again, "Try the milk tea I made."
Guan Xiaoxi held the bowl and drank it all in one gulp. He also laughed, "It tastes good!"
"Being able to make milk tea here in peace is my joy. I once told Chunqiu that after we retire, we will go to Xinzhou, renovate the Duke Dingguo Mansion, and live there."
"I love grasslands. When I was little, my brother Peng Chengwu and I often sneaked through Yanshan Pass to come to this grassland, but of course we never went deep into it."
"I like the vastness of the grassland, its endless fields, and its high, blue sky."
"I was very scared at that time. My ideal at that time was to conquer the Desolate Kingdom and make the gate of Yanshan Pass no longer closed so that I could enter and exit the grassland freely."
Peng Yuyan poured another bowl of milk tea for Guan Xiaoxi, with a warm look in her eyes.
"Now the gates of Yanshan Pass have been demolished, and a new road has been built that leads directly to Xinzhou. People can walk freely across this vast land, and they do so with joy..."
She also looked up at the azure sky. "The air is free, the mind is free, and even without the chains under my feet, I am free... This is my ideal."
"I know I can't achieve it, but Fu Xiaoguan did. Tell me... should a monarch like him die?"
"If he dies, where will the path of all the people in the world be?"
