Chapter 379

Ning Chuchu stayed up all night.

Of course, everyone in Yunji Bieye, even Baozi Xiao, who was about to sleep if he couldn't be shaken, didn't sleep.

Ning Chuchu was in a wing on the east side.

Sitting opposite her was Huaipingshan, who had been deprived of martial arts after Xiaowu's simple bandaging!

This is her grandpa!
The old man who used to be in Duke Huai's mansion looked even older now.

It's just that the look in those old eyes of his wasn't completely hopeless.

"Grandpa is getting old."

"In fact, he should have died long ago."

"It's just that I can't let go of you brother and sister, so I've lived on until now."

"You...you forgot what my grandfather told you when you and the crown prince came to the Duke's mansion!"

"Grandpa told you to maintain a calm relationship with Li Chen'an...but you just got yourself into it."

"Grandpa originally hoped to have a good talk with Mrs. Fan. He thought that facing the current situation, it would be the best time to invite Mrs. Fan to take charge of the overall situation and help your brother become emperor."

"But what grandpa didn't expect was that...she didn't agree."

"What can I do if she disagrees? It's not easy for the crown prince to be in the East Palace for so many years, and he's about to make it through, but Fan Taohua still hopes to welcome the eldest son back to the throne."

"Grandpa won't lose, because Fan Taohua fought in Huaishan County, and she met Xi Wei, who has become a grand master!"

"The kung fu of the two is comparable, but Xi Wei has the Red Flame Army to help, while Fan Taohua's Shenwu Army was sent to the palace by her."

"So Fan Taohua lost, Xi Wei instinctively killed her, but in the end he let her go."

"Grandpa thought that Fan Taohua needed the power in Grandpa's hands to deal with Xi Wei, but she would rather die than surrender."

"She's still that Fan Taohua."

"And grandpa never expected to lose at the hands of Li Chen'an... Before everything is lost, your two uncles probably led troops into the city."

Ning Chuchu shed two lines of tears, for grandpa's current situation, and for so many things grandpa has done for the emperor and himself these years.

However, she didn't care about whether her brother could become emperor, but asked:
"Empress Lu's death, is it really the mother's fault?"

Huaipingshan did not answer.

"Who exactly is Li Chenan?"

Huaipingshan still didn't answer.

"Who is that Miss Xiao?"

Huaipingshan smiled suddenly: "These are actually not important, do you really want to know?"

"En!" Ning Chuchu nodded.

"Come over here."

Ning Chuchu walked over and bent down.

Huaipingshan said in a low voice: "If the crown prince is unable to become emperor, you tell him to go to the ancestral home of the Huai clan... where is your uncle."

After saying this, Huaipingshan pulled out the sword from Ning Chuchu's waist.

He pierced his chest with a sword, and in Ning Chuchu's horrified eyes, he smiled slightly:
"Tell him not to lose weight... Just get fatter... It's fine if it's harmless to humans and animals!"

Huaipingshan's head drooped, and he died, full of unwillingness and regret.

……

……

No matter how long the night is, the dawn will always come.

On October 23, [-]rd year of Zhaohua, the autumn rain that lasted for several days stopped and the sky dawned.

Hua Manting closed an ancient book on the table, and thumped his legs that were sore and numb after sitting all night.

He stood up, opened the door with a creak, stepped outside, looked at the blue sky, and sniffed the fresh air washed by the autumn rain.

A new day has come.

After the rain, it will eventually be sunny.

Just then, a carrier pigeon flew over and landed on his shoulder.

A small note was tied to the carrier pigeon's leg.

He took it off, opened it and took a look...

He suddenly took a deep breath, held ten breaths before letting out a long breath, and then looked up at the sky with his hands behind his back for a long time.

Su Muxin was right behind him.

"Teacher, is it something about Kyoto?"

Hua Manting shook his head and walked towards the yard.

At this moment, Su Muxin suddenly noticed that the teacher's back was bent.

He no longer walked as straight as before.

He walked very slowly.

Even faltering a little!

As he walked forward, his back became more and more hunchbacked, so he became a little old man.

Only then did Su Muxin realize that the teacher is actually very old.

Hua Manting came to a peach tree.

Of course, the peach tree in late autumn has no flowers, not even a single leaf.

It's bare.

Swaying slightly in the morning breeze in this late autumn, it seems a little cold.

Hua Manting stretched out a hand, touched the peach tree, and said in a low voice, "You..."

"You people...!"

"Is it worth it?"

"Teacher, what happened?"

"Fan Taohua is dead."

"Shang Di is dead."

"Eldest Sun Jinghong is also dead."

"There's also Wu Xichen, who died in Yue."

"Ji Tai is dead, Huaipingshan is dead, Yan Guogong, Luo Guogong, Cheng Guogong and Qi Guogong... Even if they don't die, they won't have the glory of the past."

"These old guys are all dead, this world... belongs to young people like you."

Su Mu was shocked!
"Teacher... Is this all Xi Wei's doing?"

Hua Manting pondered for a moment, "Some are, some are not... For example, Xi Wei didn't want Shang Di, Changsun Jinghong and Fan Taohua to die."

"Because there is justice in their hearts, but the justice they uphold is different, but all are selfless."

"The ones who really deserve to be damned are the government offices of the Five Great Nations!"

"...Why?"

"The five major kingdoms occupy the most profitable businesses in Ningguo, but they don't have to pay Ningguo a penny in taxes!"

"They are the biggest moths!"

"They enjoy the supreme rights, but they have not fulfilled the obligations they should have done. This...is not fair!"

Su Muxin pursed her lips, and suddenly asked in a low voice: "Teacher, who are you?"

Hua Manting turned around and looked at his disciple, with a smile on his sad face:
"A teacher is a teacher."

"Teachers, preaching, teaching, and dispelling doubts...not limited to the knowledge in books, but also occasionally pursue the strategy of saving the country."

"That's what Li Chen'an said engraved on the stone tablet, to set up a heart for the world, to set up a life for the living people, and to bring peace to all generations."

"You...go and have a look outside the palace. If you see Li Chen'an, tell him a word with your teacher."

"it is good!"

"Tell him, in a world of great contention, if you don't fight, you will perish! For the sake of Ning Guo, for the sake of the people of the world!"

"Disciple obey!"

Su Muxin walked away from this small courtyard.

Hua Manting looked at the peach tree again, and touched the peach tree again, "20 years later, this peach tree was planted by Xiao Mantou and you together."

"Xiao Mantou is dead, you are dead too, it doesn't matter if you die, it's clear!"

He turned around and walked slowly into the gazebo. Just as he sat down, a person fell from the sky.

He is General Wu Mian.

He bowed his hands and said to Hua Manting: "Imperial Palace, to attack or not to attack?"

"Has Li Chenan entered the capital yet?"

"We've reached Suzaku Avenue."

"Assist him to eliminate the soldiers from Nanping City and Fenglai City."

"From now on, the Red Flame Army will take orders from Li Chen'an, and there is no need to report anything to the old man."

"gentlemen……?!"

Hua Manting waved his hand, "Go ahead, I'm just a bad old man who teaches, and Li Chen'an is my old friend... I'm getting old, this world, after all, belongs to them."

"Xi Wei is dead from now on."

"Dead in Changle Palace."

Wu Mian's heart was shocked, and he pondered for a moment, "But what if he doesn't want to become emperor?"

"There is something wrong with the capital, you take some people to Shuzhou and find He Xishan."

"With the death of the eldest son of the emperor, Fan Taohua's hope is shattered, and the protection of the eldest grandson Jinghong will no longer exist. If Li Chen'an does not ascend the throne as emperor, he will also go to Shuzhou...he will know that he is the eldest son of the emperor!"

"So, this throne is still his!"

"...Ding Guohou's mansion still has Zhong Lipo, how should we deal with it?"

"Don't ask me, ask... Li Chenan!"
