The world of rebirth

The place where it was discovered was an altar. When Wen Zhen and Ning Yunjin led them to arrive, they found that there were many soldiers pointing and pointing on both sides, and some soldiers squatted on the ground and vomited.

When he got close to that place, he knew why those soldiers couldn't stand it!

It turned out that a big pit was dug next to the altar, and a lot of disembowelled corpses were thrown in the pit densely, and the bleeding that flowed out had accumulated like a small pond.From the clothes of the corpses, it can be seen that these people should be from the same tribe. There are men, women, old and young, and their hands are tied behind their backs. I saw several babies who were only about one year old.

On the altar, it is astonishing. On the left side, a person's head is placed neatly. Some of them died with unsettled eyes, and some remained terrified before death. On the right side, there are fresh hearts placed one by one.The human head, heart and blood have always been considered to have mystical powers, so various religions around the world like to use these three for sacrifices.

Just being watched by so many empty eyes, even in the daytime, there is a gloomy feeling. It is different from seeing soldiers who died because of the war. This kind of naked massacre is a satire on human nature.

Wen Zhen turned his head to look at Ning Yunjin, "Has Hong Ming come to see it?"

"En." Ning Yunjin nodded.

With his nod, Wen Zhen was able to determine the reason for his son's pale complexion.It was also the first time he had seen such a tragic situation. Compared with Ning Yunjin, the crown prince Hongming was far behind—he naturally didn't know that Ning Yunjin had already been used to vomiting in his previous life!

Wen Zhen couldn't help frowning, and Li Deming said to Li Deming, who was clutching his chest, "Go and call the prince!"

Poor baby!Ning Yunjin sympathized with Hong Ming not very sincerely in his heart, but fortunately that baby just found an excuse to avoid it, but it is a pity that he will come anyway.

After Hong Ming was called over, he didn't dare to squint at all. He looked at Wen Zhen but didn't look at the altar.Ever since he saw those heads on the altar, he couldn't get those eyes out of his mind.

"Did you see that altar?" Wen Zhen looked at Hong Ming and asked.

Hong Ming replied respectfully, "Report to Father Emperor. My son has seen it."

"What do you see?"

Hongming wasn't sure which aspect Wen Zhen wanted to take the school exam for. After thinking about it, he chose a safe answer, "My ministers saw the sacrifices. For this battle, Dashang slaughtered a large number of innocent people as sacrifices."

Wen Zhen was a little dissatisfied, he turned to look at Ning Yunjin, "What about you?"

Ning Yunjin blurted out, "Report to the emperor, this is war, the winner is king, but the people will always suffer."

His answer made Wen Zhen nodded slightly, and said to Hong Ming, "Hong Ming, I will entrust you with the task of cleaning this altar today, I hope you will not disappoint me."

The so-called cleaning is naturally not as simple as burying the corpses and destroying the altar. These corpses were murdered extremely cruelly.If purification and salvation are not carried out, this area will become a place where not a single blade of grass can live, and it will also affect the spirit of the people living here.

Hong Ming knew that his conservative answer just now made his father dissatisfied. If this matter goes wrong again, he is afraid that earning a little military merit will not be enough to restore his father's image. Said, "Father, please rest assured."

Tsk tsk, what an unlucky kid.When Wen Zhen took him back to the main camp, Ning Yunjin sighed.

His expression of schadenfreude and insincere sympathy made Wenzhen scrutinize him for a long time, "Why, I taught the prince why you make such a strange expression? Do you have any opinions?"

"I don't dare to have any opinions." Ning Yunjin quickly shook his head and said, "I just miss my father a little bit."

He turned the topic too bluntly, and he had just finished educating his son, and this kid said he missed his father, isn't it obvious that he was mocking himself.Wen Zhen glanced at him and said, "With your talent, you can have great achievements, maybe you can surpass Gan Luo, and the court will shine. That is to say, Yi Cheng has spoiled you and let you live freely for so many years. If you are my son... "

"I really think my father is the best, the emperor's assumptions should be withdrawn!" Ning Yunjin shrugged and said jokingly, "Besides, I can't stand your simple and rude way of education."

His disgusted expression made Wenzhen so angry that he ignored him for a while.

After cleaning the altar, no one knew how Hong Ming felt, but Ning Yunjin noticed that his eyes were blue, obviously due to lack of sleep.But on the way back to the capital, Hong Ming's expression became more and more indifferent, and his eyes occasionally revealed a gloomy look. Compared with the immature and immature people in the world when he first left the capital, the whole person seemed to have grown a lot.

Ning Yunjin reckoned that with this experience, the other princes would probably be left behind by a few blocks in the face of such a prince again!

By the time their trip arrived in the capital via Datong, the war was coming to an end.Da Shang was driven out of the grasslands within Daxia's territory and moved to the north and west. Originally, two armies had already besieged Mengta, but they never made a move. Great Master Bi Canglang suddenly intervened in the battle. It is obvious that he used ordinary soldiers to deal with Grand Master It's unrealistic, and I can only watch Wang Zhang leave helplessly.

Although the result of this battle is not satisfactory, everyone knows that as long as Bi Canglang pays back, he will not be able to annihilate the opponent's king account. Now the strength of the Great Merchant has been greatly defeated, and after the defeat of the Great Merchant, they will increase their strength in the past two years. Difficult, already an unexpected victory.

Unlike Ning Yunjin, who gets closer to the capital and returns home like an arrow, Wen Zhen feels a little depressed when he thinks that the two of them will no longer be able to get along so intimately after returning. Even the news of the great victory can't calm him down.Although as long as Ning Yunjin was on errand, he could see people, but at that time there were always many eyes staring at him, and it couldn't be compared to the freedom he has now, but that kid didn't want to make it public, Wen Zhen had the feeling that he became him The illusion of an underground lover made him very aggrieved.

The night before entering the capital, they set up camp on the outskirts of the capital, and after Wenzhen went to bed, they sneaked into Ning Yunjin's camp.

As a great hero in this war, although Ning Yunjin is not of high status, he still has his own camp.Ning Yunjin has made so many achievements, everyone knows that as long as he returns to the capital, it is inevitable that he will be promoted to an official position, and it is normal for the emperor to give him preferential treatment in advance - of course these people can't guess that this is Wenzhen's own convenience !

"Are you here again?" Ning Yunjin was now very calm about the fact that there would be one more person in the camp late at night, and he lay on the bed with his chin propped up, "Aren't you afraid of an emergency military report?"

The reason why he said this was because once Wenzhen came here to find him to practice kung fu, and it happened that he came to the urgent military report at eight hundred li.According to the regulations, the military newspaper can only be opened by the emperor after he summons the messenger, and Li Deming sweats just to cover up.

Wen Zhen sat by the bed, picked up a strand of Ning Yunjin's loose hair and wrapped it around his fingers, "Aren't you just waiting for me when you haven't slept?"

Ning Yunjin rolled his eyes indecently, "I don't want to be woken up by you after falling asleep."

Wen Zhen smiled and didn't say anything, just leaned down and kissed his lips gently, tenderly and delicately.

Ning Yunjin felt a pair of hands moving back and forth on his body, and even wanted to poke inside his clothes. He squeezed the bulge between Wen Zhen's legs maliciously, and said in a low voice, "Does the emperor want people to appreciate the erotic palace?"

Wen Zhen grabbed his hand, took a deep breath to control his emotions, and whispered viciously in his ear, "I really can't wait for you to be executed on the spot."

Ning Yunjin put his head on his chest and giggled, not worried at all.You must know that although there is no one standing outside his tent, there is no so-called soundproofing at all in this tent. If there is any movement, it will be known to the whole world. Jin didn't believe that Wen Zhen had such a taste.

He asked, "Why are you here? Didn't you agree not to practice today?"

Wen Zhen squeezed him into the bed, just hugged him, not daring to use his hands or feet to make himself uncomfortable.He said, "I just suddenly thought of something and wanted to ask for your opinion!"

"What's the matter?" Ning Yunjin asked curiously.

"Although I am very reluctant, you will definitely not be able to keep your position as a bachelor's servant after you return to Beijing." Wen Zhen said with some regret. You must know that apart from this position among civil servants, there are very few official positions that can stay in the palace with integrity.He stroked Ning Yunjin's head and explained, "I believe you can also understand. Now that you are so young, it is impossible to make you a prince at once with this military achievement. At most, you will be an uncle. You can only be reborn in an official position." How many levels have been raised, so I want to ask, which one do you want to go to?"

Wen Zhen naturally understands Ning Yunjin's concerns, but he really didn't expect Wen Zhen to give himself the right to choose.Originally, it was suitable for him to go to the Ministry of War, but with a father, he must avoid it.The Ministry of Household Affairs is too cumbersome. Although the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Punishment are both good places, they are easy to offend people. He simply raised his eyebrows and said, "Why don't you go to the Ministry of Rites?"

He chose to make Wenzhen very speechless, and opened his mouth to veto, "No way. You want to go to the Ministry of Rites for the elderly when you are young."

"It's not as exaggerated as pension! What people do is also very important for the country." Ning Yunjin complained in a low voice.

Wen Zhen just looked at him and didn't express his opinion.Being stared at by him like this, Ning Yunjin had to shrug his shoulders and give up. Although the Ministry of Rites ranked first among the six departments, he did things step by step and followed the rules. Such things required patience and care. Compared with the other departments, there were indeed more elderly people.

"Emperor, you can decide for yourself, as long as you enjoy the food."

"I want to make a decision for you, but it's a pity that you don't want to." Wen Zhen scratched his chin with a smile and said, "If you agree, I don't have to worry about how to reward you for your merits. No matter how great your achievements are, it will be done once and for all!"

Ning Yunjin suddenly became black lined, he didn't expect that Wenzhen would not give up, and he would talk about it when he found an opportunity.He didn't want to talk about this topic at all, and said quickly, "The Ministry of Industry! Then go to the Ministry of Industry."

Seeing him avoiding the affairs between the two of them again, Wen Zhen was a little disappointed, but he was very surprised by Ning Yunjin's choice, "The Ministry of Industry is not a good place, are you sure you want to go?"

"Well, let's go to the Ministry of Industry." Ning Yunjin nodded in affirmation.Anyone who knows the situation of the six ministries knows that compared with the other five ministries, the Ministry of Industry is simply a stepmother. There are many things to do, and there are few places to make money.But Ning Yunjin wanted to go to the Ministry of Industry because of the group of skilled craftsmen, they are all golden egg chickens, if they can be used well, they won't have to worry about not having a steady stream of money.

"Since you want to go, then go!" Wen Zhen kissed him on the cheek, "I'm waiting to see your achievements!"

Ning Yunjin Shiqu didn't ask what he was going to do in the Ministry of Industry, and Wen Zhen didn't say anything. Both of them knew that Wen Zhen didn't say anything about it, at least it had to be discussed by the court. In the current relationship, it is impossible for Wen Zhenru to treat himself badly no matter what!

The next day, the capital was very lively, and a large number of officials and people were waiting at the gate of the city early.Among them are the clan, the cabinet, and hundreds of civil and military officials who can be called famous. It seems that a grand court meeting will be held at the city gate.

When Wen Zhen and his team arrived, everyone immediately knelt down excitedly and shouted long live three times, the voices were uniform and went straight to the sky.

Wen Zhen deliberately did not ride in a dragon chariot, but rode a horse in an iron armor, looking majestic and energetic.He waved his hand vigorously, "Everyone is at peace."

His voice didn't need to be repeated at all, it was so loud that it spread all over the surroundings, making people see Wenzhen's superb martial arts skills.

All the way into the city, their returning victorious team received an extremely warm welcome, with firecrackers, gongs and drums blaring, and festive red silk and red cloth on the branches, extending all the way to the gate of the palace.There were no activities planned for this day. After Wen Zhen and his party entered the palace, everyone could go back to their homes. The actual celebration ceremony will be held in three days.

Ning Yunjin is today's darling, so many people dragged him to talk on the way out of the palace.He found that especially those middle-aged or older officials looked at him with such enthusiasm that it made him shudder. To put it bluntly, it was like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law. Jin quickly jumped into the carriage that Qin Ming had prepared for him a long time ago, avoiding any guests, and went straight home.

There was a young man standing by the gate of the Ning Mansion all the time. When he saw the carriage, he immediately shouted, "Second Young Master is back!"

Ning Yunjin's carriage entered the door on the red carpet covered with rolled firecrackers. When the carriage entered the gate, he got out of the carriage and entered the second gate on foot. Before entering the yard, he found the old lady waiting with a group of women.

The old lady was very energetic, and she didn't need anyone to support her. When she saw Ning Yunjin, she said excitedly, "Xiao Er is back, let grandma take a closer look!"

Ning Yunjin took a step, jumped to the side of the old lady, and said angrily, "Why doesn't the old lady wait for her grandson in the room, it's so windy!"

Mu Tong'er covered her mouth and smiled, "What are you talking about, ever since you found out that you were trapped in the mountains with your troops, the old lady and the master were very worried. They couldn't eat well, and couldn't sleep. After that, you still followed The emperor has gone to such a far place, it is really worrying."

Hearing her accusation, Ning Yunjin quickly looked at the old lady.The old man did not look as rich as before he went out, and there were many more wrinkles between his brows and eyes, it seemed that he was really worried.He quickly grabbed the old lady's hand and said coquettishly, "The old lady should always trust her grandson's ability! Sun'er is blessed with great life, and any danger can be saved."

The old lady patted the back of his hand, looked up and down as if she couldn't see enough, and found that there was indeed no injury at all, so she said in relief, "Okay, good, great skills are always great. If your grandpa knows that you have set up this time Great work, I'm afraid she will be very happy." She looked at Mu Tong'er again, "Look at Xiao Er if he's darkened or lost weight, I'll have to make up for him when I come back this time."

"Beyond the Great Wall is naturally extremely bitter. I heard from my father and the others that the wind blows sand into my mouth when I talk there." Mu Tong'er echoed, "I really need to let Xiao Er take a good care of her."

"Sister-in-law, you're exaggerating." Ning Yunjin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was going to the grassland and not the desert in the northwest. There aren't such big sandstorms these days, so it's not as serious as eating sand!

"It's too early for me to say that you entered the imperial court and became an official! Look at you, since you became an official, you have completely changed from when you were white and fat." The old lady sighed, "How can our family lack you?" The salary is gone, no matter how you say it, it should wait until you reach adulthood."

When Ning Yunjin saw the old man started to mutter, he hurriedly coaxed him and helped the old lady back to her yard.Although I was read once when I got home, it is undeniable that the feeling of being cared by my family is really heartwarming.

In the blink of an eye, in the afternoon, Ning Jingxian and Ning Yunting, who were supposed to be in the yamen, also came back early. The father and son reunited and had too much to talk about, so they asked Mu Tonger to arrange a table and prepare a few altars Wine, chat while drinking.

Ning Jingxian was very pleased to see that Ning Yunjin looked more energetic even though he was affected by some winds and frosts outside the Great Wall. He picked up a glass of wine and said, "My father has heard about your work outside the Great Wall. Such a great contribution can only be made by my family." Xiao Er can only be done by a person who is astonishingly talented and brilliant, this time you really played a big summer, and you are really outstanding, as a father, I will toast you three cups first!"

Seeing his father picking up the wine glass and pouring it directly into his mouth, Ning Yunjin hurriedly stopped him, "Father, why should the family drink so politely? Drinking too quickly will hurt your health!"

Ning Yunting held him back with a smile and said, "You don't know, Xiao Er, father is so happy! If you don't let father drink, he will actually annoy you." After a pause, he enviously said, "Since your achievements After you were introduced to the capital, it was said that you were like a man descended from heaven, with both civil and military skills, illustrious military exploits, and a heaven worshiper, and with such outstanding appearance, there is really no one who is better than you. Our Ning family is close But it was very lively, and there was an endless stream of matchmakers coming to the door, and the threshold was stepped on. For your marriage, let the old lady and father be picky!"

Stupid brother, you really don't know which pot to open and which pot to carry!Ning Yunjin keenly noticed that Ning Jingxian's brows twitched slightly, and he quickly said, "It's not that exaggerated. Besides, I'm still young, and I always have to wait until I have made great achievements before thinking about getting married."

"Just save yourself!" Ning Yunting couldn't help but give him a blank look, "You have made great achievements! Now everyone says that based on your achievements this time, you have to be granted at least three waiting. This is higher than the family title, and it is still You earned it yourself!" He lamented, "It's a pity that I was not selected this time, or I really want to go to the front with me."

Ning Yunjin shyly said, "It's all my fault that I made a mess this time!" The reason why he said that was because generally all the children in a family would not be sent to the front line.There were only three sons in the Ning family. Ning Yunjin's life and death in the grassland was uncertain at that time, and the other was still a child. Naturally, Ning Yunting, the eldest son, would not be sent out during the army selection.

"What nonsense!" Ning Yunting patted him on the shoulder, held up a glass of wine and toasted, "Do you want to meet Ya Liang being besieged? If you really feel embarrassed, then drink this glass of wine!"

The two brothers drank three cups in a row, Ning Yunting drank very happily, and then dragged him to talk about things outside the Great Wall, but Ning Yunjin found that his father was exceptionally silent.

After drinking almost enough and Ning Yunting was a little tipsy, Ning Jingxian asked someone to remove the table.Ning Yunting saw this posture and knew that his father had something to say to Ning Yunjin alone, so he resigned very tactfully.

As soon as he left, Ning Jingxian closed the door tightly himself, and after making sure that there were no eyes and ears on the left and right, he turned his head to look at Ning Yunjin, and asked with a trembling voice, "You and the emperor, you..."

Ning Yunjin knew that he would not be able to hide it. When he greeted the driver earlier, his father, as Minister of the Ministry of War, naturally accompanied him at close range.

Wenzhen was very close to him. Although that guy said he wouldn't push him, he didn't shy away from it at all. He wished he could disclose the relationship immediately. He treated him two times more affectionately than Hongming.Ordinary people would only think that the emperor loved him as a hero, but his father knew what Wen Zhen was thinking, and he was afraid that something was wrong at a glance.

He didn't want to tell the truth to provoke his father, so he said without blinking, "Father, don't worry, it's the emperor's wishful thinking! My son has already refused."

Ning Yunjin's consolation did not make Ning Jingxian relax, he sat on the chair a little decadently, "If you refuse to be useful, the emperor will not leave Beijing in advance for you. Father never thought that the emperor would do this !"

Wen Zhen's high profile made Ning Yunjin really helpless. Even though he knew that he couldn't persuade his father not to worry about this matter, he could only comfort him in vain, "Maybe the emperor's excitement is over! Son must hurry up and practice kung fu in the future, and when he becomes Grandmaster, even if he wants to use his status as emperor to force him, it's impossible!"

"Maybe!" Ning Jingxian sighed, looking at the handsome son, he was only worried, and he said, "Then what about your marriage? Why don't you settle down with a family first and wait until three years before getting married?"

That's the rhythm of death!Ning Yunjin quickly shook his head and said, "Father, let's refuse first! Since the emperor said that he will marry after three years, he must have his own arrangements. If someone comes to ask, he will use this reason to prevaricate, so as not to offend others!"

Ning Jingxian nodded and naturally agreed.Seeing his father, Ning Yunjin finally felt a lot relieved, and his eyes and heart returned to the original place.But he was obviously happy too early, when the imperial decree arrived in Ningfu three days later, it immediately made him so angry that he wished he could draw Wenzhen!

Even if you are the emperor, you can't be so high-profile, why not!
