Chapter 589 The Grand Finale
Ning Bao lived with her several maids, while Shen Muyang lived with his bodyguards.
The other maids and servants slept in one room, while the guards and personal soldiers slept on the floor in the corridor.
Gu Yunrou couldn't help but sigh when she saw Ning Bao and his wife come in.
"Yang'er, hurry up and find someone to fix up the house. I don't think there's any need to repair it. It's better to rebuild it quickly."
We adults are fine with whatever we do, but the two kids just can't get used to living here.
Shen Muyang nodded.
"Mother, I know. I'll have someone clean it up tomorrow. I didn't expect the conditions here to be so bad. If I had known, I wouldn't have let you come with me."
Now, however, I'm making my mother, Ningbao, and the children suffer with me.
Ning Bao glanced at Shen Muyang.
"Alright, Mother and I are not people who can't endure hardship. It's okay for the children to suffer a little. I think Nanluo City is quite good. It just needs time to be governed. I believe that in ten years, this place will definitely be very prosperous and wealthy."
"Okay, I will definitely try my best."
Shen Muyang secretly resolved in his heart that he must build this place into the way Ning Bao envisioned it.
..........................
Ning Bao and Shen Muyang stayed in the south for twenty years.
Over the past twenty years, they have governed the coastal areas, not only training a navy that has deterred pirates and sea bandits from venturing into the waters of Longyuan Kingdom.
It also developed commerce, making the previously impoverished coastal areas prosperous.
They also opened up trade routes between Nanluo City and Yunlu City.
This will allow seafood from Nanluo City to be transported to the mainland via Yunlu City.
The Great General and his wife are deeply respected in Nanluo City.
.....................
Ten years ago, Ningbao successively saw off Mu Dasheng, Li Guizhi, Mu Dachang, Lin Dajiang, Wu Xiulan...
Ten years later, last year, she also saw off Mu Chunping, Zhou Chengxing, Xue Yuzhen, Su Jingshu, Lin Jianfei, Gu Yunrou, Mu Youcai, and Daoist Wuchen...
Almost all the elderly people who were related to Ningbao by blood or not have passed away.
Ning Bao did her best to find them good homes.
However, she used her limited privileges to send all of her closest relatives to the world that Zhou Rongzhang had gone to.
She looked forward to seeing them again in the future...
Shen Muyang, who was over forty years old, chose to retire and return to his hometown.
He took Ningbao on a three-year journey, and then lived for a few more years on the small island where he had once trapped the Taoist Sanqing.
Finally, he returned to Izumo Village to enjoy his later years...................
Shen Muyang was four years older than Ning Bao. When Shen Muyang was 99 years old, he experienced a near-death experience.
The messengers who came to collect her soul were Black and White Impermanence. Ning Bao directly told them, "We couldn't be born on the same day, month, and year, but we must die on the same day, month, and year. You can either take me with you, or you'll have to wait a few more years..."
When Ning Bao was ninety-nine years old and Shen Muyang was thirty-three, they sent a letter by eagle to summon all five generations of their family back for a reunion dinner.
That night, the two elderly people passed away peacefully in their sleep.
