Chapter 38: A few years of transition, secret savings

Ning Que held the baby in his arms and got on the carriage.

"Mom, look!"

Li Sanniang took the baby and wrapped it in a warm quilt. The baby, who was originally frozen, was stimulated by the heat in the car and woke up.

Wow~Wow~
"Ahhh, don't cry, don't cry!"

Li Sanniang gently patted the baby and sighed, "What a miserable child! Who could be so cruel?
Such a small baby was abandoned in this wilderness. Fortunately, it met our family and you are kind-hearted, otherwise it would have been taken away by a wolf!"

Ning Que smiled and said nothing, but looked at the baby. The seal of Tai Chi flashed in his eyes, as if he saw through her essence.

It is as if the darkness of the night sky is wrapped in unparalleled brilliance, darkness and light are integrated into one, darkness is the surface, light is the inside, the two forces are opposite to each other, and yet they coexist like yin and yang Tai Chi.

It’s just that the darkness outside seems to have sealed the brilliance inside, making this baby girl look so ordinary.

"interesting!"

"I didn't expect it to be so similar to my Tai Chi. However, it's not yin and yang, but light and darkness. It can be said that it is fate."

Ning Que touched the baby girl's face and said, "Sangsang, Fang Tiandao is qualified to be my Taoist partner."

Under Ning Que's protection, the group arrived safely at Weicheng on the border.

Ning's father had some savings, and Ning Que also took some money from General Lin's mansion before leaving, so he was not short of money.

They bought a small courtyard with three entrances, and after some arrangements, they registered their household registration again. It was a border area, and they were dressed like Tang people, so the officials didn't report them and the people didn't investigate, so some things were convenient.

From then on, the Ning family settled down in Weicheng and became a small landlord. This was much better than the original story where Ning Que wandered miserably for several years.

One year later.

Ning Que bid farewell to his parents and began to travel.

Because of his cultivation, Ning's father and mother were more relieved.

In the past few years, Ning Que has been to Xiling and accidentally saved a little girl in red. He has also been to the extreme northern wilderness and witnessed the eternal darkness.

He met the serfs under the Hanging Temple and went to Minshan Mountain, where he saved a boy named Zhuoer.

There was neither sadness nor joy in all this, as if the real Supreme Being was looking at all living beings in the world with indifference.

read more, walk more!
Have your own thoughts, your own understanding, and your own insights!

Step by step, Ning Que's mark is almost everywhere in the world of Ever Night. He measures this world with his footsteps. Of course, all this is not in vain.

As the Supreme Taoist Lord, Ning Que is known to be the foundation of all existence, the origin of all things, the source of all order, and the ultimate embodiment of all order in the entire world from its birth to its end.

Naturally, it must be put into practice!
Following Ning Que's footsteps, wherever he went, he would spread the power that belonged only to the Supreme Taoist Lord, and entrust the creatures of heaven and earth with his own life object, constantly infecting and eroding them, and gradually stealing the power of the earth and humanity.

It can also be said that, in addition to the Heavenly Dao represented by Haotian, Ning Que's power can be found almost everywhere in the world.

Although it is tiny, but little by little it can add up to a lot, and the power of ants can shake the sky when combined. It's just that now it is still lurking among all things in the world, hidden and unmanifest.

As Ning Que measured the heaven and earth and his understanding of the rules of heaven and earth deepened, his cultivation easily reached the fifth realm, and it was unlimited and immeasurable. With the power of both families, Haotian could not find any abnormalities under the cover of the mark of the Hongmeng Pearl.

In the snowy world, several major events have occurred over the past few years.

First, Xu Chunlin, the prince of Beiliang, had a debate with a group of Confucian scholars. He made them all feel autistic with just a few words. The Confucian classics were good, and people believed that half of the Analects could rule the world, but Xu Chunlin twisted the meaning of the classics into half a book of words to attack the world.

In addition, due to his overbearing and domineering behavior, he was scolded by famous scholars as a young boy with a rogue mind and was given the reputation of being unlearned and unskillful.

For a time, the reputation of the Beiliang barbarians was even greater than before.

The second thing is that the three great border kings were formally established.

With the secret support of Xu Chunlin, Yue Fei and Han Xin continued to recruit soldiers and horses, and food and other supplies were provided by Lu Chun. It must be said that in modern society, food is really cheap and plentiful, and the food consumption of just a few hundred thousand people is not as much as that of a large county.

In addition, the Liyang Dynasty was newly established, with many refugees and survivors of the Eight Kingdoms. The world had just stabilized, and the control over the border areas was not strong enough, so it was easy to raise two armies.

They were all poor people who had survived the war, and they joined their camp just for a bite to eat.

Two famous figures who will go down in history led two armies, one was the God of War and the other was Wu Mu, and they started a mighty battle on the border between Li Yang and Bei Mang.

Based on the fighting method of "if the enemy advances, we retreat; if the enemy stays, we harass; if the enemy is tired, we attack; if the enemy retreats, we pursue" and the fighting concept of "if we save people and lose land, both the people and the land will be saved; if we save land and lose people, both the land will be lost."

Without caring about the gains and losses of a city or a place, he played a tug-of-war with the Beimang Dynasty and forcibly snatched two states from Beimang.

Even if the Beimang Dynasty wanted to send out experts to kill them, the omnipresent Ye Bushu had already found out the news in advance. If they couldn't defeat them, could they hide from them?

Anyway, it's like a dog-skin plaster that can't be thrown away no matter what, disgusting the Northern Mang Dynasty, forcing it to give up two pieces of chicken ribs that are tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away.

Moreover, with the growth of the civil officials and generals under their command, their martial arts levels continued to rise. Many of them broke into the first-grade realm, the military generals broke through the Vajra realm, and the civil officials were mostly in the Xuan realm.

Zhuge Liang and others even stepped into the celestial phenomena and used the methods of sorcerers to set up the Eight Diagrams Formation - the Qimen Dunjia Formation!

Yue Fei and Han Xin joined forces and took advantage of the right time and place to kill 200,000 soldiers from Beimang, laying the foundation for both sides to dominate the border area.

Including the three states under the jurisdiction of the King of Beiliang, Xu Chunlin actually controls five states. You should know that the Liyang Dynasty only has thirteen states in total including the three states of Beiliang.

Afterwards, the two men sent envoys to the capital. Relying on their achievements in expanding territory and various calculations, Yue Fei was named King of Northern Song, Han Xin was named King of Northern Korea, and together with Xu Xiao, King of Northern Liang, they became the three great kings of the Frontier.

It completely separated Beimang and Liyang, forming a buffer zone between the two dynasties.

Moreover, under the secret suggestion of Xu Chunlin, the three great kings of the Great Wall were constantly fighting openly and secretly. Of course, this was also for Li Yang to see. If the three kings of different surnames were in harmony, then the one who would be nervous would be the Emperor of Li Yang.

During this period, the Liyang Dynasty also wanted to reduce the number of soldiers of several kings of different surnames, which seemed like a way of letting the horses go to the south mountain, but all of them were blocked by Xu Chunlin's tactic of keeping the enemy at bay for their own benefit.

It can be said that no one could have imagined that a dissolute prince who was said to be unlearned would be the actual ruler of the five border states.

Over the past few years, intentionally or unintentionally, Xu Chunlin let things take their own course and allowed his subordinates to use all sorts of tricks, using the recipes he provided to make luxurious Beiliang specialties.

These items flowed into Liyang and Beimang, and were exchanged for large amounts of money, food, cattle, sheep and other items, which were secretly transported to the land of the Three Kings.

For a time, the Li Yang family became extravagant and corrupt; in short, they were ruined.

A luxurious life always requires a lot of money to maintain. The wealthy families levied heavy taxes and extorted money, which made the poor poorer and the rich richer in Liyang.

The conflict is intensifying and it only takes a spark to explode!
