The Legend of Swing Sword and Execution of Demons

Chapter 463

"Yes, it doesn't make sense."

"It's really pointless."

The sunlight penetrated into the room, but it could only climb to Niu Kelian's feet, but could not shine into his heart.

The smile on Niu Kelian's face was clearly reflected in everyone's eyes, but it seemed that there was no joy, but bitterness and confusion.

He murmured in a low voice at first, and in just a short moment, his voice became high-pitched, and his tone was particularly firm.

"Zhongzhou is now like an old man in his dying years. Many stubborn diseases have been deeply rooted and even spread. They are difficult to cure, and may not be cured well. Sooner or later, they will usher in the day when they die. No matter how chaotic the barbarians are, it will only speed up the process."

"It doesn't make sense."

"Besides, your Uncle Niu is just a mere commoner, how can he order the imperial army?"

"Uncle Niu is very pleased. After Brother Shi left, you still have the heart to take the world as your own responsibility, but... maybe this is the so-called untimely birth. It is this era that has failed you."

Niu Kelian was clearly talking to the three of them, but his eyes kept avoiding them, either on the table, by the window, or on the ceiling.

"Uncle Niu!"

Seeing this burly man who used to regard death as home and never retreated, now he is so at a loss what to do, Meng Chaoge's heart twitched, he couldn't bear to see him like this, and he scolded softly.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Only then did Niu Kelian shift his gaze to Meng Chaoge again, showing a gentle and kind smile, and said: "Well, let's see if you can convince Uncle Niu."

Meng Chaoge greeted the gaze, but it was hard to see the fearless look in those eyes. The fatigue of the past few days seemed to be all over the body at this moment, and it was difficult to open his mouth.

Even so, Meng Chaoge still pursed his lips, braced himself up, and said: "After Dad disarmed and returned to the fields, from Duzhu, Luoyue and even Bangara, he didn't dare to think anything bad about the southwestern border, even if Dad In the past few years, the Shi family's army is still there. A while ago, the big brother went to the Kunlun territory. Uncle Huo and Uncle Guan and I went to the Yunze territory. We met many old people. We will definitely not stand idly by."

"Furthermore, when the imperial court can defend, only the imperial court's soldier talisman can mobilize the soldiers. But when the imperial court can't defend, when the whole people of Zhongzhou have to be soldiers, and when they don't know what to do, there is something like yours. The National Tiger will go out, who doesn't obey orders?"

Meng Chaoge stared at Niu Kelian's expression, seeing that what he said was still powerless to touch the other party, he secretly became cruel, took a deep breath, and continued: "No one will deny the ability of a general in Zhennan to lead troops, even if your glory Staying in the past doesn't even have much to do with whether you are injured or not, and the imperial court has a very clear understanding of this."

"So I think, Uncle Niu, you must be very clear that the imperial court trusts you because you have no family background, no family, and no complicated relationships behind it."

"But because you are alone, you have nothing to worry about, and you can have no scruples, so the imperial court is not so reassuring about you, so they sent people to watch for three years."

"As for why they withdrew, it's because you now have concerns, roots, and a place of peace of mind, and the imperial court is completely at ease."

Meng Chaoge glanced at Xiaohua, and asked Niu Kelian, "It's the hometown where the heart can be at ease. Uncle Niu, can you just watch your hometown and Xiaohua's hometown be destroyed by foreign wars?"

Niu Kelian put his hands on his knees, as if he was pinching his thighs faintly, and said with a smile: "No way."

Fu added: "At least I won't do something as stupid as massacring the city here."

Although Niu Kelian and the three of them were separated by a round wooden table, Meng Chaoge still had a panoramic view of his subtle movements, but she didn't think of a way to respond to Niu Kelian's reply.

Still have to rely on big brother...

Meng Chaoge was complaining about his incompetence in his heart, Luo Piaoling had already taken up the conversation, and said: "I guess this is the reason why Uncle Niu chose Jinzhou City for retirement?"

Niu Kelian exerted force involuntarily with his hands, the wide trousers on his left thigh were pulled to the point of being stretched, but the pants on his right thigh were still drooping a little.

"Yes."

This word was squeezed out between the teeth of this burly man.

Luo Piaoling was not in a hurry to continue asking questions, but began to analyze Niu Kelian's choice.

"The coast of Shaohai is in the shape of a horizontal horseshoe. This horseshoe opens to the east, and Jinzhou City is located at the westernmost point of the horseshoe, which is the innermost part of the entire Shaohai Bay."

"Whether it is Gouli or Dongying, if they attack from the sea, Shaohaikou is the only channel. When entering Shaohaikou, they will face the pressure of the Zhongzhou navy on both sides. If they can't defeat the coastal defenses on both sides of Shaohaikou, once they go deep, it is very likely Falling into the situation of being shut down and beating dogs."

"In short, if you invade by sea, you will go through many difficulties before you can reach Jinzhou City."

"However, the prosperity of Jinzhou City is the most prosperous in Shaohai Bay. A wise invader will never start a war here. Instead, he will use the benefits of Jinzhou City to quickly make up for the economic loss caused by the war."

"Similarly, the difficulty of arriving at Jinzhou City by land is not as difficult as taking the sea route. Jinzhou City is like a tonic with great taste. Destroying it is harmful but not beneficial. It can be taken wisely or surrendered, and you must not use brute force."

"So, no matter how shaky the rivers and lakes or the entire Zhongzhou are, it's hard to feel much uneasiness from the people of Jinzhou City, because this city really feels stable enough."

After Luo Piaoling finished his analysis, Niu Kelian let go of his hands holding his legs tightly, and admitted with a wry smile: "Uncle Niu is getting old, and he really can't stand the trouble."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Xiaohua, not daring to look directly at him. He rested his chin and pondered for a while, and said earnestly: "As I said before, Zhongzhou is getting old. In the past two thousand years, Zhongzhou has continued to develop and grow. It is also a process of continuous integration with the so-called foreign barbarians. The name of the great country has not changed, but the surname of the emperor's old son has been changed again and again. In recent decades, Zhongzhou's ability to update and iterate has not been as good as before, and it will appear The catastrophe that happened 20 years ago. The disaster cannot be avoided, and what should come will always come. Even if there is a day like you said, it is just another change of dynasty in Zhongzhou."

Hearing this, Meng Chaoge was speechless. He didn't expect a national protector to wipe away his determination to defend his family and country so thoroughly, and he couldn't hide his disappointment.

As for Xue Qinghuan who basically kept silent, just like Niu Kelian was disheartened towards Zhongzhou, she no longer had any hope for Niu Kelian, and the admiration that spontaneously arose when they met disappeared.

However, Luo Piaoling has not given up yet.

"What Uncle Niu said is not unreasonable, but has Uncle Niu ever thought about what kind of situation women, especially those from Zhongzhou, would be placed in when the Wala people ruled Jinzhou City? Tools? I heard that Dongying people are not as tough as Wara people in treating women, but they seem to have more means of entertainment."

With Xiaohua present, Luo Piaoling was especially careful with his words, but Niu Kelian's expression had changed.

"For more than two thousand years in Zhongzhou, although there are many surnames on the head of the imperial court, such as Liu, Yang, Li, Zhou, Zhao, Sima, Zhu, etc., they are still in the same ideological line, and their attitudes towards women are different. It is also becoming more and more important. If you want to change the ideology that is irrelevant, it will take a considerable amount of time to integrate from women to life, and there will always be some sacrifices at the beginning. Wala and Dongying people will choose Sacrifice yourself?"

Luo Piaoling didn't continue to speak, Niu Kelian was trembling all over.

"No." Niu Kelian was not answering Luo Piaoling, but persuading himself, "Wala is connected to the northern part of Zhongzhou, and the habits of grassland people are straightforward. Although they are a bit arrogant, they are not so cruel and ruthless. Don’t they often imitate us in Zhongzhou, and their daily customs will not be so heretical.”

Before Luo Piaoling could open his mouth in the future, Xiao Hua said angrily: "Da Niu, I look down on you!"

Meng Chaoge and Xue Qinghuan looked at Xiaohua together, only to see the little girl's eyes widened and her fists clenched tightly just like Niu Kelian's at the beginning.

It's just that the little girl seemed to have endured it for quite a while, the roar took a lot of effort, her chest rose and fell slightly, and her ponytails wobbled restlessly...
