Chapter 13 The people's hearts are like water, and I am the river uncle

Zhuang Guo Xin'an City.

Before the worship hall, an old man with flowery hair could not kneel.

In the huge city of Xin'an, few people recognized him.

But if it was in the former Maple Grove City, he was almost unknown to everyone.

Because he was the Maple Forest City Lord before Wei Quji.

His governance can be called lenient and diligent.

During the period of sitting in the Maple Forest City, he traveled to every town and village under his rule. This is something that Wei Quji has never done. There is no second city lord in the entire Zhuang country who does this.

The thirteen-year-old Du Yehu killed in court, which was the reversal of the case that he personally presided over. also sent Du Yehu to the Taoist Academy for training, which is why Du Junye, who is now becoming famous in Jiujiang Xuanjia.

When he was in the Maple Forest City, he was deeply loved by the military and civilians. Later, he felt old and frail, and he couldn't consolidate his cultivation, so he took the initiative to step down from his post for the elderly.

In his life, he had no children, no daughters, no relatives and no disciples.

At that time, Zhuang Gao envied Yong, and he made outstanding achievements in the war.

He took over Maple Grove City from Zhuang Ting because of his merits, did not take a penny, and after dedicating his life, he returned Maple Grove City to the country.

And now, the Maple Grove City is gone.

In the entire Maple Forest City, not a single dog, a chicken, or even a handful of dirt were left.

It is said that the white bone road is in trouble.

Where did a cult that has been silent for a hundred years come from with so much energy?

What did the Zhuang Guo Anti-Criminal Division do and why didn't they notice it in advance?

Why is it that the entire Maple Forest City is dead, but Dong A is able to live alone!

Why did Dong A have insight into the conspiracy, the dignified national teacher Du Ruhui, who is famous in the world, but he still can't catch up!

Why......

Zhuang Ting's explanation can convince everyone in the world.

It's not because of how perfect that explanation is, how infallible it is.

It's just because those people are not from the Maple Forest City.

It's just because there's no one left in the Maple Grove City!

Only him, Levian.

Only this old body, the life of decay, is still struggling to pursue.

But he asked the prime minister, and the minister avoided it.

He asked the king, and the king locked up the deep palace.

He asked the ministers, but no one paid attention to him.

Who would care about an old man who could no longer rise, an old man whose breath was weak, his cultivation had collapsed, and he had no combat power to speak of?

Especially when he is so stubborn, when the whole Zhuang country is thriving, he has to uncover the rotten sores and poisonous scars.

The old man is now white.

The white-bodied old man Liu Yi'an came and went alone in the huge Xin'an City and asked questions for nine days.

There was no answer for nine whole days.

Nobody paid any attention.

On the tenth day, he knelt before the temple.

He wants to ask Taizu!

If Taizu is still here, seeing this situation and this scene, will he not say a word!

"The king is like a boat, and the people are like water. Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat!"

He wept before the temple.

Helpless like a child.

......

Outside the shrine hall, at the corner of the long street opposite.

Dong A, vice minister of Zhuang Guo, stood on his sleeves and did not say a word.

......

......

Outside the former site of the Maple Grove Metropolitan Area.

Du Ruhan, who has black hair like ink, stands with his hands down, although his face is old, his back is as straight as a gun.

In the entire Zhuang country, there is naturally only one person who can make him so respectful - Zhuang Gaoxian, the lord of Zhuang Guo.

It was a middle-aged man with a calm face, who was carefully surveying the mist-shrouded Maple Grove City. At first glance, it is no different from the rich gentry who usually play in spring.

Just looking at his appearance, no one could imagine that he was such a decisive man. He was tough and sharp in state affairs, surpassing the previous monarchs of Zhuangguo.

After looking at it for a while, Zhuang Gaoxian said with a smile: "This time, the teacher completely hurt the White Bone Evil God." He was going to drag this place into the netherworld, but he stopped halfway through. Let the Maple Grove City sink into the gap between the present world and the netherworld, and make this place a dead place. It is not digested by the Netherworld, and it leaves a scar on my village forever. Such harm to others and self-benefit shows resentment. ”

If the entire Maple Forest Domain is pulled into the Netherworld, this area will be erased in the present world. At that time, the vicinity of the Qichang Mountains may be the Wangjiang City or the Sanshan City Area. As time goes by, it will gradually be forgotten.

But now stuck at the junction of reality and the netherworld, the White Bone Venerable God wastes his divine power in vain, and he can't receive any benefits. And Zhuang Guo also left this place of execution forever. Everyone who sees this dead place recalls this history.

As early as when Zhuang Gaoxian was still the prince, Du Ruhui was his teacher.

After Zhuang Gaoxian ascended the throne, he was not the second choice for the position of prime minister.

"Your Majesty. Du Ruhui bowed and said: "The old minister heard that the ancient holy lord, the people are happy, and the people are bitter. Outside the former site of Maple Grove, you shouldn't laugh. Zhuang Jun is the glory of Zhuang Guo. sacrificing the people to achieve this state is a humiliation for Zhuang Jun. Moreover, those souls of the dead who will never rest in peace are in front of His Majesty's eyes. ”

"Gao Xian has been taught. Emperor Zhuang immediately solemnized and said in a ashamed voice: "It is indeed that I caught up with the old horseman of Yongguo, thinking that from now on the border will be safe and the people will be peaceful, and I am a little forgetful." ”

Zhuang Gaoxian's realm has now surpassed Du Ruhui, but he still maintains the respect of students for teachers.

When Du Ruyan heard this, he neither chased and beat hard, nor was he always relieved. Rather, it gently debunks the topic.

"Your Majesty can erect a memorial monument outside this territory for remembrance. On the stele, the responsibility for the loss of land is recorded as a national enemy. The uprooting of the White Bone Road will be re-listed as a national policy, and the souls of the dead will be sworn to be comforted. In this way, we can complain to the people, win the hearts of the people, and gather public opinion. ”

Zhuang Gaoxian was amazed: "This sincere golden jade good words!"

The last time Zhuang Guo took the uprooting of the White Bone Road as a national policy, it was the era of Taizu Zhuang Chengqian. At that time, the White Bone Dao was indeed uprooted.

Today, the resurgence of the White Bone Dao is far less powerful than it was back then. But re-establishing this policy can still awaken the memory of the people of Zhuangguo. It not only expresses the intention of maintaining the ancestral system, but also shows the determination to share the sky with the White Bone Dao.

Focus all the grievances of the people on the White Bone Road. Once the White Bone Dao is uprooted, Zhuang Gaoxian will not only not be scolded for the fall of Fenglin City, but will win the hearts of the people because of his revenge for the country.

Du Ru obscure is like a spring breeze and rain, and the means are old and spicy and mellow.

This is also an important reason why he can support Zhuang Ting during the time when Zhuang Gaoxian is recuperating from his injury.

The fog in the Maple Forest City also covered up the fierceness in the meantime. It's as if all the stories that happened in this area have been lost to the yin and yang. There is no more daylight.

"I've seen the Lifeless Extinction Array as well. What will Your Majesty want?"

Zhuang Gaoxian gently dusted his sleeves: "Since you have come to Qinghe County, how can you not go to Qingjiang to visit the elders?"

......

......

After Youguo left, Jiang Wang continued to move in the direction of Qi State.

The Land of God is only a part of his journey, and he has his own way to go.

Hurrying is not the only purpose, but more importantly, refining the sword, body, and heart along the way.

Take heaven and earth as the furnace, red dust as the fire, and your own body as copper.

From the small week, to the big week.

Mountaineering, river wading, shop rest, uneven...... Draw your sword.

The road under your feet is getting longer and longer, and the path of cultivation is getting wider and wider.

He gradually felt that something was changing.

It's like a road hidden by clouds, becoming clearer and more certain.
