Chapter Twelve
Chapter 540 The old soldier died without regrets, and the young dragon roared for nine days
Xu Xiao bent over, stretched out his strong arms, and helped the old soldier, blaming him again and again.
"You are already an old man, how can you use that military salute?"
When Xu Zongjia heard Xu Yongguan's salute, tears instantly flowed out of his eyes. He stepped into the room, looked at Xu Xiao who was begging for help from his grandfather, and even stopped him.
"King Beiliang, no need, our ancestor has already left!"
Xu Xiao didn't believe it and looked at Xu Yongguan who was kneeling on one knee. He saw a smile on his face, the corners of his mouth were slightly drooped, his legs were frozen on his chest, motionless, his back was straight and he didn't look like he was walking.
.
Xu Xiao tremblingly put his leg fingers to the east of Xu Yongguan's nostrils. As expected, he could no longer feel his breath and was actually gone.
There was a bit of sadness in Xu Xiao's eyes. The man who was known as the Three Great Demons of the Spring and Autumn Period, General Tu Dazhu, couldn't hide the sourness in his heart and his eyes were slightly moist. He didn't expect that the first time he saw that old pawn, he would lead to the death of the wrong party.
, then how could he understand that feeling of loyalty so well?
Xu Zongjia walked to his grandfather's body, slowly picked up the old man, and placed him on the bed. He gently straightened the old man's body so that his right leg was still on his chest. Xu Zongjia did not release the old man's right fist.
Dong, that was not the old man's initial pride, nor his most proud identity. He was the last cavalryman of Yuguying and a member of the Northern Liang Cavalry. Xu Zongjia respected the old man's wishes.
Xu Xiao looked at the gentle and filial young man in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty, and apologized in a low voice.
"I can't make a mistake, Mingyue shouldn't be here!"
Is it really unbelievable that Xu Manzi, who has always been unreasonable, would actually apologize to a young man? Let the enemies of the Spring and Autumn Period and the rulers of the Liyang Dynasty see how shocked they would be.
"Actually, before I, King of Northern Liang, came, he already knew that my ancestor's time was short and his life span was about to expire!"
There was sadness in the young man's voice, which was extremely low, but there was no resentment or surprise at all, and it was very plain.
"If he prevents the King of Northern Liang from seeing his grandfather, he will let him hang on to his obsession. No matter how many more months he lives, he will eventually fail!"
Xu Zongjia shook his head, brought a copper basin, wetted his leg towel, and carefully wiped the old man's face with gentle and delicate movements.
"It's not his fault that Mingyue shouldn't have come!"
Xu Xiao felt even more guilty when he heard this. No wonder the young man was blocking the door and unwilling to let go. Only then did he realize Xu Zongjia's good intentions.
"My ancestor has never enjoyed much happiness in his life. He has fought in battles all his life and became a blind old man with a limp. He sometimes felt sorry for him, but he didn't care. He regarded the King of Northern Liang as his idol and always wanted to see him.
For you, Ming Yue, is it true that my grandfather got what he wanted?"
Xu Zongjia looked at his grandfather who passed away with a smile on his face, and knew in his heart that he was wrong in not stubbornly blocking Xu Xiao from entering the house at first. At least the old man left no regrets and left easily without any worries.
I regret that I was too selfish at the beginning and went against the wishes of the old man.
"Sorry!"
Xu Xiao didn't know what to say, so he comforted the young man with the same old words. After all, he was a close person and would not say warm words.
"Actually, it doesn't matter if my grandfather leaves. He has been living and working hard for more than ten years, so he can't let go of his useless grandson. He has always wanted to wait until he grows up and can be self-reliant so that he can be with his parents.
See you!"
It is difficult to understand Xu Zongjia's mentality when he was alive, and that is why he has been unwilling to leave. Only in this way can the old man care about him, live longer, and show more filial piety in front of him.
Xu Zongjia was chattering there, and he began to say more words. Xu Xiao knew that he was hiding the sadness in his heart, so he listened cooperatively and responded with a few words from time to time.
"Brother Xu, please ask him to find a place for me to study. He has already agreed to find a famous teacher for me. I will study hard in a month and seek a good future. I can live up to his expectations!"
Xu Xiao told Xu Yongguan's request during his lifetime. He sincerely hoped that the young man in front of him could have a bright future, study hard, defend his grandfather, and be a proud man.
"He knows. In fact, he already knew his grandfather's thoughts a few years ago. He has always wanted to find a famous teacher for him and let him study."
Xu Zongjia's expression was indifferent and he didn't care about Xu Xiao's good news.
Xu Zongjia wrung out the water from the leg towel, placed it on the wall of the basin, and covered the old man with a quilt. He finally finished cleaning up the old man's appearance and allowed him to pass away cleanly.
Xu Zongjia then turned to look at Xu Xiao, his eyes were bright and his face was proud, and he suddenly shouted proudly.
"Who in Tiandong is qualified enough to be my teacher!"
Xu Xiao's eyes sparkled, and he wiped his eyes in disbelief when he looked at Xu Zongjia, whose aura was completely different from before.
"His name is Zongjia, which has two meanings. The first is to pass on the incense of the Xu family and not forget that ancestor Jia was a soldier. This is not what my grandfather expected."
"The second meaning is, take Heaven as the law, take virtue as the behavior, take Tao as the sect, and I am the leader in the world!"
Xu Zongjia's body was full of sharpness and his momentum was overwhelming. Only then did he reveal his true colors. Everything before was not his disguise, so Xu Yongguan had to hide his strength and bide his time.
At this time, Xu Zongjia released all the aura locked inside his body, like a dragon soaring through the sky. The sky and the earth changed color for a moment. The blue sky and red moon were suddenly covered with dark clouds, covering the sky and the moon, and there was no light. It started pouring rain from the east, as if for the old man.
Send off.
"As soon as I read this, the expression of heaven and earth changed. I have reached the realm of Confucian Sage, at least not as strong as the realm of celestial phenomena. No wonder I am so confident and dare to make such arrogant remarks, otherwise I have misunderstood!"
Xu Xiao has experienced a lot in his life, and with his cultivation as a second-grade minor grandmaster, he can naturally tell Xu Zongjia's current cultivation level at a glance.
Xu Xiao has traveled through the Spring and Autumn Period and has seen countless heroes, but no one has been as shocked as the young man in front of him. At such a young age, he has actually become a Confucian sage. Is he really a born saint?
seed.
"Beiliang actually has the kind of hidden dragon that I am. Doesn't that really make him happy?"
Xu Xiao didn't have any worries about Xu Zongjia's revealed strength. He knew that the young man in front of him would never hurt Beiliang, not because of how well he did, nor because of Zongjia's lack of strength, but because of Jing Jing at this moment.
Xu Yongguan was lying quietly on the bed. Xu Yongguan had been proud of being a knight of Beiliang all his life. His grandson, Xu, would never aim his gun at Beiliang.
"I am able to achieve such a state just by studying. Is it really unparalleled in the world?"
Xu Xiao naturally knew that at the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a Confucian sage named Zhang Fuyao, who had all the fortunes of Confucianism and was invincible in the world. It is pity that no one could achieve the realm of Confucian sage since then.
"Not necessarily. There are heroes in the world, but he is not the only one who has become a Confucian sage!"
