Chapter 506: 506

Chapter 506: Happiness of Ignorance and Stupidity

It was 2:30 p.m.

Ling Ping’an was visiting the exhibition hall of the 100-Year War Memorial Hall.

In front of him was a huge metal sculpture.

The sculpture depicted the scene of a tribe pulling cows and ploughing the fields of the Northern Zhou dynasty.

The raw materials for this sculpture were refined from the remains of cannons that had been destroyed on both sides of the Northern Zhou and Southern Zhou battlefields.

Moreover, they were made from the remnants of the famous battles.

One battle would pick out a piece of debris.

Piece by piece, this metal sculpture that weighed tens of tons was forged.

The blood of millions of people was mixed in it.

There were martyrs and enemies.

“This sculpture was designed by Emperor Gaozong…”

“It symbolizes the vigor of forging a sword into a plow!”

“Everyone, look at the inscription at the bottom…” A sweet female voice introduced through a loudspeaker, “A weapon is a lethal weapon. A saint has no choice but to use it!”

“This contains Emperor Gaozong’s expectations for his descendants!”

“Unless it’s absolutely necessary, don’t speak of war lightly…”

Ling Ping’an listened and nodded secretly.

For an ancient country like the federal empire…

If it wasn’t absolutely necessary, who would be willing to fight?

Therefore, after the hundred-year war, the Federal Empire hadn’t taken the initiative to fight against the outside world for over two hundred years.

The few times they had to passively accept the war, they would leave after the war was over.

They would never stop.

When the scholars were dealing with the crisis in Ceylon, it was a typical example.

That war also left behind the famous six principles of the scholars’ engagement.

First: Was the critical international order and national security interests threatened?

Second: Did We set clear and realistic goals?

Third: Did we fully understand and grasp the risks and costs we faced?

Fourth: Were all other non-violent means ineffective?

Fifth: Did we receive strong support from the people of the Federal Empire?

Sixth: Were they supported and cooperated by the vast majority of the international community?

Under the guidance of these six principles, the central federal government’s peacekeeping forces immediately withdrew from the area of battle after completing their mission.

Even the Ceylon Kingdom used all diplomatic means to retain them.

The peacekeeping forces still resolutely completed their withdrawal on time according to the scheduled schedule.

Only a small-scale fleet and aviation unit were surrounded by the people of Ceylon when they evacuated.

Left with no choice, they could only choose to stay until now.

The moment you prepared to retreat, others would block the intersection, March, and petition.

They would even call on the media reporters from all over the world to cry in front of your embassy.

Under the pressure of public opinion, no matter how resolute the central federal government was, they could only lower their heads.

Thinking of this, Ling Ping’an quietly left the large group.

He followed the instructions of the exhibition hall and came to the Memorial Hall of the Southern Zhou liberation war.

Then, he walked to the Memorial Hall of the Battle Heroes of the new Qinling campaign.

He pushed open the door and walked in.

He saw countless names engraved on the walls on both sides of the exhibition hall.

They were so densely packed that it made one’s scalp go numb.

As the last and largest battlefield in the hundred year war, the battlefield that used the most new technology and weapons.

The Battle of the new Qinling Mountains lasted for a whole year.

Both sides invested millions of troops.

The federal empire single-handedly challenged the entire land of Qin.

In the end, both sides were exhausted, and the Fran people sent their king to the guillotine.

The 100-year war ended with the destruction of a dynasty.

Hence, in the second month after the Fran Revolution, Great Xia signed a contract with Butania in Xinluo.

In the following 10 years, the main warring states signed contracts with great Xia.

They admitted defeat, renouncing the colonies and giving freedom to the enslaved and oppressed people.

Thinking about this, Ling Ping’an found a name.

A name that was tightly protected under a glass cabinet.

He had become the Great Xia Army of Guangnan.

This was his second generation ancestor.

Ling Ping’an let out a sigh and shook his head, feeling a little ashamed.

He looked at the words introductions in the exhibition which described how he protected the country in war.

On 15th July 2621, the Battle of the new Qinling Mountains broke out. Baoguo was ordered to lead his troops to defend Xinxiang Pass at the southern foot of the new Qinling Mountains.

On the 20th day, the enemy used the Bavarian Regiment as a guide. They gathered 300 cannons and bombarded Xinxiang Pass. They aimed to break through Xinxiang Pass in one fell swoop and go straight to Xinxiang railway station, where our logistics and supplies were transferred.

Baoguo led his troops to defend the position for three days. They were badly injured, but they did not retreat.

He repelled the enemy and killed hundreds of enemies under the regiment commander level. He then led our main force to go behind the enemy and surround and destroy the enemies from Bavaria, Sicily, and Burgundy.

After the war, he personally gave the son of Great Xia a grade battle hero. He was then awarded a South Zhou Liberation Medal for being a battle hero. Therefore, he was quite famous in the area.

Ling Ping’an looked at him and swallowed his saliva.

“Is my ancestor so awesome?”

How many guards were there?

30? 50?

In any case, there could not be more than 100 people.

Even including the militia, there were probably only 200 people?

With so few people, they were able to block the attack of one main force and 300 cannons?

That was too fantastic!

Moreover, a regiment had 300 cannon support?

And it was more than 200 years ago?

This firepower allocation, was it really not a joke?

However, this was an official record, it would only be conservative and not exaggerated.

So, the ancestors were really awesome!

It was estimated that Xinxiang Pass was the kind of dangerous place where one man could hold off ten thousand men.

Moreover, it was definitely a strategic place that the enemy could not avoid.

Just as they were sighing with emotion, a few people also came over.

They saw the cabinet in front of Ling Ping’an.

They also sighed with emotion.

“It’s tough for our ancestors to start a business!”

“Yes, yes!”

Ling Ping’an turned his head to look. There were a total of five people who were all well-dressed and looked very clean.

With one look, one could tell that they were successful people in the business world.

They also looked at Ling Ping’an with some curiosity.

“Young Master, you also have an ancestor who sacrificed himself in the battle at Xin Xiang Pass in the new Qinling Mountains?” A man with a standard official’s buzz cut asked.

Ling Ping’an shook his head.

The ancestor did not sacrifice himself in that battle. Miraculously, he survived.

From the records of the family tree, he knew that almost all of the family members who followed his ancestor died in the battle.

Even the militia that had been temporarily organized had lost more than half of their lives.

Right then, a strange look flashed across the man’s eyes. Just as he was about to ask another question, a tall man beside him stopped him and said with a smile, “Leader Lu, why are you entangled with a passerby?”

“Paying respect to the deeds of our ancestors is the right thing to do!”

Leader Lu nodded. “Elder brother is right!”

“Back then, my ancestor, Duke Zhao, sacrificed his life on the battlefield… how loyal and brave was that?! Therefore, Duke Zhong an, the son of Duke Bao, praised my family and took my daughter as a concubine to serve him. He was extremely honored and favored!”

“Unfortunately, his descendants were unfilial and angered the late master, so he was punished!”

“He was expelled from the door wall of the main family!”

“Before my father passed away, he left me a last wish. It was to return to Jiang City to apologize to the main family and pray to enter the door wall again…”

“All these years, I have often returned to Jiang city…”

“Unfortunately, the two uncles avoided meeting each other and did not tell me the current whereabouts of the main family!”

“I am really unfilial!” As he spoke, division chief Lu’s eyes were filled with tears. “I have let down my ancestors. I’m afraid that after I die, I can only cover my face with my hair. I don’t dare to meet my ancestors in the Netherworld!”

The tall man quickly advised, “Division leader Lu, you don’t have to worry!”

“If there’s a chance, we brothers will definitely advise my father…”

Leader Lu listened and held the tall man’s hand. “Then I’ll have to trouble you, Brother!”

While Ling Ping’an listened from the side, he felt his scalp go numb.

Because…

Leader Lu reminded him of something bad.

The Old Ling family was in Qilipu village and had four vassal families. They had been serving or assisting for generations.

Among them, the Zhang family and the Wang family were the guards of the courtyard.

The Hu family and the Lu family were the old bookkeepers and stewards.

In short, it was a feudal society.

The landlord’s family was the standard.

As for the Lu Family?

Ling Ping’an had never seen them before. He had only heard about them from uncle Wang.

It was as if in the era of his grandparents, the most severe punishment a feudal lord could mete out to his servants was absolute punishment!

They would be stripped of the name of the family wall, expelled from the family, and never see each other again!

This sounded a little strange, but such a strange thing did happen.

The Lu family had been stripped of the right to enter the Ling family ancestral hall and claim to be part of the Ling family.

From the attitude uncle Wang, Uncle Zhang, and the Hu family’s grandmother had described.

To them, this kind of thing was like the collapse of the sky.

It was a matter that could take a person’s life.

As for the reason?

Ling Ping’an didn’t ask in detail. He only knew that the people of the Lu family seemed to have violated some family rules at that time.

Anyway, it was a mess.

He was too lazy to understand this kind of feudal mess.

However, he didn’t expect to meet a descendant of the Lu family here.

Moreover, from the looks of it, this descendant of the Lu family was still doing very well!

He had even become a leader!

This was a high-ranking official.

If it was the leader of a large division, then it would be even more amazing.

A seventh-ranking official in front of the prime minister’s door.

The department head of the capital was even more awe-inspiring than the local mayor!

He was even the elite of the elites.

Thinking of this, Ling Ping’an quietly walked away.

…

Lu Wenxiao looked at a nameplate in the cupboard.

It was the relic of his ancestor.

Lu Zhao, a big-headed soldier who died in Xinxiang Pass.

But very few people knew what kind of heroic figure his ancestor was!

In that era when the spirit aura hadn’t recovered for many years,.

Lu Zhao already had the strength to fight against a hundred people.

On the battlefield, he tore up more than ten werewolves.

He even blew up the head of a vampire with one punch.

In the end, he was outnumbered, so he died heroically!

As he sighed with emotion at his ancestors, he looked at the name in the cupboard.

“The protector of the nation!” He sighed.

This was his previous sovereign!

“My ancestors are unworthy!” To him, being expelled from the main gate wall was a lifelong regret.

The four people next to him looked at him with bafflement.

“Chief Lu…” Zhang Fengxiao, who had just been promoted to the Chief of the Security Bureau of Bao’an City of the Blackguard, couldn’t help but ask, “Why are you doing this?”

“Although your ancestors served the Ling family for generations, they were punished by the descendants of the Ling family…”

“This is a little regretful!”

“But you have already made a name for yourself!”

This Leader Lu was a big shot!

He was now the Deputy Director of the Department of Law, policy, and risk of the Supreme Court of the Federal Empire.

At the same time, he was also the Deputy Director of the Bureau of Special Affairs and legal supervision of the Blackguard.

His mentor was one of the nine great guardians of the Supreme Court, Great Guardian Wen Zhenming!

Zhang Fengxiao was promoted successfully because of the help of this elder brother.

Otherwise, the thirty-year-old chief of the Bureau would find it hard to convince the public!

“What do you know?” Lu Wenxiao turned to look at Zhang Fengxiao. “Did uncle Zhang not tell you about the origin of the main family?”

Zhang Fengxiao raised his head and asked, “The main family? The origin of the Ling Family?”

The three brothers of the Wang family also raised their heads. “What’s so great about the Ling Family?”

They remembered the last time they met.

Although the last thing was a little blurry, they had long forgotten the appearance of the so-called young master.

In spite of that, they still remembered that the young master was dressed shabbily.

The clothes on his body added up were not even as expensive as one of their sleeves.

In other words, the cat they were carrying was only worth a little HP.

Apart from that, there was nothing else.

Lu Wenxiao shook his head and looked at the four people. They were the children of the four uncles.

“Since the uncles didn’t say anything…”

“I don’t dare to overstep my authority!”

“I can only tell the four of you…”

“The main family is the heavens!”

“You must never disobey them, and you must never disobey them!”

“My father taught me from a young age…”

“Our Lu family is just a moss growing next to the roots of the main family…”

“The sunlight and rain… are all gifts from the main family!”

“The ancestors disobeyed, violated the family rules, offended the heavens, and were expelled from the door…”

“So, they were thrown out of the door…”

“Let the wind and rain hit us…”

“We can only feel endless regret!”

“My Children and grandchildren will be implicated!”

Lu Wenxiao sobbed, “I can never enjoy the shade under the big tree

“I will also lose the right to return to my homeland and offer sacrifices to my ancestors

“From my father to me… two generations of people have been pursuing the wall of return! Unfortunately, they can’t get the forgiveness of the main family!”

“What about you guys?” Lu Wenxiao said earnestly, “You have to cherish it, or else you’ll end up like me!”

Zhang Fengxiao and the others were baffled.

This… was more than they could ask for!

The student of the Grand Guardian was the deputy director of the Legal Policy Risk Department of the Supreme Court. He was also the director of the Special Affairs Legal Risk Department of the Blackguard.

How many laws and policies had to pass through his hands?

The Supreme Court and the central federal government would regularly read his analysis reports.

Lu Wenxiao looked at these four people who didn’t even know what was going on.

He sighed. “When you entered the capital, didn’t you go to see the little sister of the Hu Family?”

“Hu Nuonuo is here too?” asked Zhang Fengxiao.

When Lu Wenxiao heard this, he understood everything.

He smiled and looked at the four people. “It seems that the four of you have already ended up like me!”

He didn’t even know this, for this was the most obvious evidence.

He had been expelled from the core circle.

“No!” Lu Wenxiao looked at the four of them. “You are worse off than me!”

Although he had been expelled from the gate wall, he had also been stripped of his qualifications as a retainer.

In the end, the Master of that year still remembered his old feelings and didn’t strip him of his final authority, which was the right to re-pledge allegiance.

As long as he asked for forgiveness, he could still return to the door wall of the master’s home.

He could return to the big tree and be a moss under the shade of the big tree.

On the day of Ascension, the chickens and dogs would ascend to heaven.

The Moss could also take the opportunity to touch the rain and dew and jump out of reincarnation.

Although these four people were not chased out of the door wall,.

It was clear that they had already lost the chance to pledge allegiance.

This was much worse than him.

At least, he still had a chance.

Zhang Fengxiao and the others were baffled.

“Director Lu, what are you talking about?” As the oldest among the four, Wang Shan couldn’t help but ask.

Lu Wenxiao shook his head. “I can’t say…”

“Besides, what I know is too little!”

“After being kicked out of the door, only a few sentences can be passed down from the Lu family!”

“The Lu family is no longer transcendent being!”

Offending the main family was a great crime!

Therefore, the Lu family was no longer transcendent being!

This was punishment!

They had to take back their grace and cut off their inheritance!

However, the old lord from back then did not go to the extreme. Instead, he removed all the memorial tablets of the ancestors of the Lu family from the Ling family and destroyed all the words on them.

Therefore, this matter was not as bad as it could get.

As long as the current Lord and his name were written in the family tree, his children shall have their glory again, and their grace.

The strength and blood of our ancestors will return.

At the beginning of the recovery of spirit aura, can also tear werewolves, blow up the powerful vampire bloodline!

Especially..

Lu Wenxiao, thought of his father’s last words: “If all goes well…”

“The seventh generation master will return to his homeland…”

“The ritual will be held in the mountains and rivers of Jingnan…”

Thinking of this, Lu Wenxiao looked at the four of them and asked, “Right… I heard from brother Wang Yi that the four of you seem to have met young master this year?”

Wang Shan and the others nodded.

Lu Wenxiao asked again, “Young master… how is he?”

“He’s pretty good!” Zhang Fengxiao replied, “He’s a very quiet person…”

“He’s also very kind!”

Hmm…

He was also very sensible and sensible.

It had been so long since he had contacted them, let alone made any requests.

They had even been worried about him.

What if that so-called young master made some requests?

Fortunately, he was really sensible!

After such a long time, he could not recall the phone number that was left for him.

Lu Wenxiao nodded and asked seriously, “By the way…”

“Young Master, do you like wearing those clothes from the supermarket?”

“And wearing a pair of cheap glasses?”

“He has a cat?”

“A very beautiful kitten?”

“How do you know?” Wang Shan and the others were surprised. “You’ve seen him?!”

“Hehe!” Lu Wenxiao chuckled.

He laughed at the four people’s naivety and stupidity.

Now, in the imperial capital, he had never heard of the legend of Young Master X?

These four people really didn’t know anything, so they were even worse off than him!

At least, he still knew some clues left behind by his ancestors.

“You guys…” Lu Wenxiao sighed, “This is pretty good!”

Ignorance and stupidity were also a kind of happiness!

At least they didn’t have to suffer the same torture as him!
