Chapter 1639: Letting go

The moon is like round ink, and the sky is filled with stars. In the Yuling Mountains, the Kong family's residence is full of flowers and brightly lit.

In the distance, a beam of light shot down, revealing Tangning's figure.

"Fellow Taoist Tang is here, and our mansion is full of glory. I apologize for missing the welcome from afar." After receiving the news, Kong Wenxing personally welcomed him outside the mansion, with a smile on his face and bowed his head.

"You're welcome, Fellow Daoist Kong. I wonder if the other fellow Daoists are here?"

"We are already here, we were just talking about fellow Taoists!"

"Then let's go!"

The two came to the majestic and majestic hall of Confucius Mansion. There were already many monks sitting inside. In addition to Feng Yuliang, Zhu Zhiqing, Kong Rui and several Mahayana monks from Qingzhou's local aristocratic families and sects.

"Fellow Taoist Tang is here."

"Fellow Taoist Tang."

Tangning walked in from the outside, and several people inside greeted him in a friendly manner.

"Fellow Taoist Tang, please take a seat." Kong Wenxing warmly invited, leaving two seats at the top.

"Tang is a guest, how can he overshadow the guest?"

"Hey! This is a seat specially reserved for fellow Taoists. Besides, today is to celebrate the birthday of fellow Taoists, so fellow Taoists should be seated. All the fellow Taoists here are here just for the sake of fellow Taoists. They are here at our house. ”

"In this case, Tang is being disrespectful and has overstepped his bounds."

The two of them took their seats in the upper room, Kong Wenxing clapped his hands, and the maids waiting outside came to the hall with jade trays, and placed a bunch of delicacies on everyone's desk.

Kong Wenxing picked up the wine glass and said: "The reason why I invite you today is to celebrate the birthday of fellow Taoist Tang. The second is to celebrate the return of the three counties of Qingzhou to each family. As you all know, the Peacock King monster corpse given by fellow Taoist Tang has now become Our family's treasure, such a rare treasure, we really have no words to express our gratitude to. We can only take the opportunity of Taoist Tang's birthday to celebrate him and say thank you. Thank you all for coming. I suggest that we have a glass of wine together. Respect to fellow Taoist Tang."

Tang Ning smiled and waved her hands and said, "Fellow Daoist Kong is too polite. Originally, we cultivators don't care about trivial matters such as birthdays. Besides, this year is not the occasion of my fourth or fifth thousand birthday, so there is really no need to waste a lot of time on it." , but fellow Taoist Kong invited him again and again, and said that this was to celebrate the return of the three counties of Qingzhou, and he also invited all fellow Taoists to celebrate together, so I have no choice but to accept the invitation with this glass of wine to celebrate the return of the three counties of Qingzhou! Do it first as a courtesy.”

Everyone drank the wine in the cup, and Feng Yuliang said with a smile on his face: "This time the three counties of Qingzhou were recovered with the help of fellow Taoist Tang, and the wine brewed with the blood of the Peacock King is even more thanks to the help of fellow Taoist Tang." Blessings. We are all very grateful to our Taoist friends. When our sect returns to Pingyuan County, we will also invite you to come to our sect. I hope you will not refuse."

"The recovery of the three counties of Qingzhou depends on the joint efforts of the coalition forces. You all work together. How dare Tang Mou dare to take advantage of God's merits."

"Fellow Taoist Tang, you don't have to be too humble. Who knows that we were able to regain the three counties of Qingzhou? You single-handedly killed the Peacock King, which made the demons of Mubei collapse without a fight and fled. Without you, the victory of the coalition forces and Mubei has not yet been achieved." It can be known.”

"The fact that we can sit back and relax and drink happily today is all thanks to the great blessing of Taoist friend Tang."

"Fellow Taoist Tang is truly a genius who rose to the occasion. This is truly God's blessing to Qingzhou."

"From now on, if fellow Taoist Tang is stationed in Qingzhou, how can the demon from Mubei dare to go south?"

Everyone was filled with admiration.

Tangning shook her head and sighed as if she was disappointed.

"What's going on, fellow Taoist Tang? Do you have any worries?" Kong Rui asked.

"Nine times out of ten things will go wrong in your life, how can you not be sad?"

Feng Yuliang said: "With my fellow Taoist's strength and reputation, is there anything that can't be solved? If you have any worries, my fellow Taoist, feel free to tell us. If it is useful, our sect will do our best."

"This matter has nothing to do with your sect and you, it's my own business, so don't talk about it. I hope you can have a good time and drink. We won't go home until we get drunk. Let's treat today as a farewell bar!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone looked surprised and suspicious.

Zhu Zhiqing asked: "What does Fellow Taoist Tang mean by this? Is Fellow Taoist going to leave Qingzhou?"

Tang Ning drank a drink by herself, looking sad: "I plan to resign from the position of manager of Qingwu Camp and Qingzhou Allied Forces, leave Qingzhou, and never come back."

Everyone was shocked, Feng Yuliang frowned: "Fellow Taoist Tang, why is this?"

Tang Ning took another drink and sighed, "It's really embarrassing to say this. Anyway, I have no face to stay in Qingzhou. In a few days, I will resign from all positions here and return to the sect, or travel around the world. Everything in Qingzhou has nothing to do with me." Everyone looked at each other, not expecting Tang Ning to say such shocking words, and the originally festive and cheerful atmosphere suddenly became a little solemn and serious.

Kong Rui said in shock: "What happened to Taoist Taoist Tang? The killing of the Peacock King by Taoist Taoist has spread all over the world. Taoist Taoist's reputation is at its peak. No one will nod and praise him. What else can make Taoist Taoist feel ashamed? Regardless of whether there is No matter what the problem is, fellow Taoist, if it is something that our government can handle, we will not refuse.”

"Yes! Fellow Daoist Tang, why did you leave Qingzhou? We in Qingzhou cannot live without you! In the future, if Mubei moves south, or a demonic invasion breaks out, how will the coalition forces resist without you as a general?"

"Without Fellow Daoist Tang, what fighting strength does our Qingzhou coalition have? Once the Mubei demon comes back, who can resist it?"

Tangning just drank continuously and didn't respond. Everyone looked at him in surprise.

"Fellow Taoist Tang, if you have any trouble, just say it and everyone here will support you. You are the benefactor of our monks in Qingzhou. Anyone who goes against you will be against all the sects and families in Qingzhou."

It wasn't until Kong Wenxing spoke that Tangning sighed and said with a wry smile, "I told you, this matter has nothing to do with you, and you can't help me."

"Everyone must know that Tang was born in the Qinghai sect. After the demons from Mubei went south, I evacuated with the Qinghai sect until the end of the Qinghai War. I relied on my wife's mentor to take care of me and joined the Taixuan Sect. Since then, I have been working in Qingwu Camp. , nearly three thousand years ago.”

"Qingzhou is my hometown and I miss it, but now, I really have no shame in staying here."

"I broke my promise."

"When I captured the three counties of Pingyuan, Beihai, and Donglai before, in order to inspire the soldiers to work hard, I promised them generous gifts and claimed that I would give them a lot of support as long as I captured the three counties of Qingzhou. Including the disciples of my sect, I gave them Promise to support with corresponding positions.”

"Originally, I thought that the capture of the three counties of Qingzhou had made such a great contribution. Wouldn't it be a piece of cake to arrange for a few people to serve in the military guards camps in Donglai, Beihai, and Pingyuan? Besides, they were all disciples who had made great contributions to the capture of the three counties. Unexpectedly, none of the dozens of disciples I recommended were appointed."

"People want face, trees want bark."

"Tang made all his promises to Haikou, but now he can't accomplish anything. How will he face these disciples in the future? How can he still have the dignity to stay in Qingzhou? If he stays here, he will only be treated as a laughing stock."

After that, Tang Ning started drinking by herself again.

"What your lord has done is really too much." Feng Yuliang said first, with a look of indignation and indignation: "With the merits of fellow Taoist Tang, it is not allowed to arrange the positions of several disciples. Such a trivial matter is not allowed? Don't worry, fellow Taoist Tang, in the future I will In the coalition meeting hall, I will give advice to your noble sect, fellow Daoist Han."

Kong Rui said: "Without Fellow Taoist Tang, how could the three counties of Qingzhou be successful? The personnel appointments of several disciples are stuck. I'm afraid anyone would be very angry. Isn't this killing the donkey? I will go to Fellow Daoist Han to argue."

"Why should fellow Taoist Tang get angry over such a trivial matter? There is no need to leave Qingzhou just like this."

"What Guizong did is indeed not very authentic. He recovered the three counties of Qingzhou. His Taoist friends from Tang Dynasty have great achievements. Even if they are rewarded based on their merits, they should be greatly promoted, let alone a few disciples."

Tang Ning waved her hand and interrupted a few people: "Don't talk anymore, let alone talk about looking for Senior Brother Han. This is an internal matter of our sect. What will happen if you look for Senior Brother Han? You must not be called Tang. By colluding with outsiders to put pressure on the sect, Tang will really no longer be a human being."

"Tang decided to resign from his position as Qingzhou Allied Forces Manager and Qingwu Camp Manager long ago. He will submit formal documents to the sect and the Allied Forces in a few days."

Kong Wenxing advised: "Fellow Taoist Tang, it stands to reason that we have no right to interfere with your sect's internal affairs, but Taoist friend wants to leave Qingzhou, which is closely related to us. I don't care about others, and my government cannot agree. Qingzhou is gone. Fellow Daoist Tang is like a tiger with its teeth pulled out. How can it deter the Mubei demon?

Tang Ning shook her head and said, "Why would I want to leave? However, things don't go according to people's wishes. Not only does this cause me to lose face, I can no longer stay in Qingzhou, but it's also because I'm so disheartened."

"Back then, when I joined our sect, I only wanted to serve the sect. During the Qingzhou Civil War, I was seriously injured twice and almost died. Whenever I recovered from my injuries, I immediately joined the frontline battlefield. I was treated favorably by our sect, so I gave up my life. Self-forgetfulness and repayment.”

"When I captured the three counties of Qingzhou, I learned that the Mauryan King was already stationed in Pingyuan County. Fellow Daoist Kong and Fellow Daoist Zhu both urged me to be cautious and not to fight head-on. I had to move slowly to avoid falling into the enemy's trap."

"I don't know the danger, but I thought that this was a golden opportunity, so I didn't need to risk it. I risked my life and led my troops to Pingyuan County in order to regain the three counties of Qingzhou that had been invaded by the Mubei demon in one fell swoop. My great kindness.”

"The Mauryan King had an ambush and ambushed him halfway. Tang fought hard and risked his life. Fortunately, he was beheaded, defeated the enemy, and captured the plain."

"After that, they divided their troops non-stop into two groups, took Beihai and Donglai, and finally conquered the three counties in one fell swoop."

"To this day, I have never asked for any reward from the sect. I thought that it would be easy to arrange a few disciples to serve based on their special merits. However, I did not expect that I would be treated like this. The dozens of recommended disciples were not given the chance. It really chills me that one person has been appointed.”

"By taking back the three counties of Qingzhou this time, I have repaid the sect's great kindness. I no longer want to be involved in the chaos in Qingzhou."

"If the sect allows me to live my whole life in the mountain gate, I will go back to the mountain gate to practice in peace. If not, then I will travel around the world. I have made up my mind, so please don't say any more."
