"Some people are dissatisfied with the gradual decline in the status of monks, but I am very satisfied. When I was a casual monk, I saw too many monks killing ordinary people just because they disagreed."

"They're right. If you go back a few generations, you might even be related by relatives, but it seems unreasonable to die like this."

Feng Liu said: "We just walked out of that field, but in the end we looked down on them and treated them as pigs and dogs. Is this right?"

Chen Chao said: "Of course it's not right."

"What the imperial court has done in recent years is very good."

Feng Liu looked into Chen Chao's eyes and said, "I have heard some things before. In Longjiao County, those people are not afraid of life or death and will stand in front of you."

Chen Chao smiled bitterly.

"Why? Of course I think you, the guardian envoy, are really doing things for them, so naturally they don't want you to die."

Feng Liu smiled and said: "It's just that this kind of thing is between you and them. I have never felt it."

"Everything you see from a distance is good, so you need to walk in front of you and take another look."

Feng Liu said: "This is the only way."

Chen Chao didn't speak, just looked at Feng Liu.

"If you had taken action before that hall, or... you wouldn't be talking like this now."

Feng Liu took a deep breath and said, "I, Feng Liushi, have been practicing Taoism for a hundred years. In these hundred years, I have not done anything good, but now I want to do one."

Chen Chao frowned, and just as he was about to say something, Feng Liu took over the topic and said, "I didn't want to die before, but now I can."

Chen Chao looked at him and laughed at himself: "If you come here like this, I will look a little less human this time I go up the mountain."

Feng Liu shook his head and said with a smile: "That is just a small game for me, Feng Liubu. I look at people's hearts and gamble on my life."

Chen Chao joked: "Don't look at it anymore?"

Feng Liu looked at Chen Chao and suddenly asked: "Why haven't you asked me yet? How can I make you believe it?"

Chen Chao said: "If I ask, will all my efforts be wasted?"

Feng Liu laughed it off.

He just stood up and said: "In the next war, everyone from Chaolu Sect, except for the underage disciples, will rush to the north."

Chen Chao raised his head.

Feng Liu continued to smile and said: "And when the time comes, I will give you the Fuyun Realm."

Chen Chao said nothing, but stood up and bowed to Feng Liu.

Feng Liu stretched out his hand to lift Chen Chao's hands, shook his head and said, "We are both human beings."

…

Every time there is a war in the northern border, apart from the dead, there is actually another thing, that is, some old soldiers will withdraw from the frontier army because of their serious injuries.

In the past years, veterans who retired from the frontier army would receive a pension from the court, but the court would no longer care about it. After Emperor Liang ascended the throne, there was a new law, which not only gave the veterans a large sum of money

Pensions and monthly pensions will be provided by the local government. If there are no heirs or relatives after death, the local government will take care of the funeral arrangements.

There would be government-funded schools in the new Liuzhou before. This plan was originally planned in the south, but there was a quarrel in the court meeting and then there was a war, so it was shelved.

After this battle with the demon clan, there were about 10,000 old soldiers in the northern border who were unable to stay in the border army because of their serious injuries and had to leave.

The matter of going south was sent by the General's Mansion to escort him to Changping Prefecture, and then was handed over to the court officials in Shendu.

After that, except for the officials escorting the old soldiers back to their hometowns, the local government will receive the notice and record it in the register. From then on, the pension and care will continue every month.

In the early years, the return home of the old soldiers in Xinliuzhou was the most enthusiastic. The government would notify the nearby neighbors in advance. When the old soldiers returned home, there would be firecrackers to greet them and there would also be a grand banquet. In recent years, there have been many celebrations in the south.

There has been some movement in the state capital gradually, but compared to New Liuzhou, it is still worse.

…

…

Ji Lin is only twenty-eight years old this year. He has been in the border army for three years, and he caught up with the battle. On the top of the city, Ji Lin, who killed two monsters, also had his right hand chopped off by a monster.

Without his right hand, he would no longer be able to hold a sword. Even though he was still young, it would be difficult for him to serve in the frontier army.

When going south, Ji Lin declined the escort from the General's Mansion and the Divine Capital, and instead chose to go south alone. It was also because the demon troubles in the past few years were no worse than in previous years that Ji Lin's journey south was relatively safe.

After walking for more than half a month, when he finally arrived at a small county in the south of Changping Prefecture, Ji Lin walked slower and slower.

His family lived in a place called Lishui County.

After climbing over the last hill, we went down the mountain and walked to the bottom of the mountain to reach the front of the county town. When Dan Ji Lin reached the top of the mountain, he sat down on a big rock.

Looking at the county town at the foot of the mountain from a distance.

I still remember what I said to that girl when I left home.

"When I go to the north and kill more demons, I will definitely become a general in ten or eight years. When I come back to marry you, I will definitely make things lively!"

That was what he really thought at that time, but now, Ji Lin looked at his empty sleeves and didn't know how to face that girl.

I only managed to kill two monsters, and I didn't even become a corps commander. Now I'm back. Although I have some money, I don't seem to have the confidence to go see that girl again.

When he came back, he wanted to write a letter to the girl on the way, telling her not to wait any longer regardless of whether she was still waiting for him, but in the end he still couldn't bear it.

Even though I feel that I am not worthy of it now, I still can't bear it.

But I couldn’t bear to leave, and I’ve come this far. Do I want to go back and see him again?

Ji Lin wanted to think so, but he didn't dare to do it.

As soon as he gritted his teeth, he wanted to go down the mountain, but instead of going this way, he wanted to go back.

Anyway, there is no one at home anymore. My two brothers died on the battlefield a long time ago. There is nothing else in the house except an empty room. At worst, I will not go back and just find another place to live my life.

Just as he turned around, a disappointed voice sounded from the grass, "Ji Lin, don't you even want to see me?"

Ji Lin froze on the spot, speechless.

A delicate woman walked out of the grass. The news that he was going to return home had spread long ago. She had been waiting here for a long time.

When he came out, the woman's eyes suddenly fell on his empty sleeves, and then her eyes were filled with distress.

The woman didn't say anything, she just reached out and took Ji Lin's left hand.

"go home with me."

The woman led him down the mountain.

Ji Lin's eyes were moist.

"Does it hurt?"

As they were going down the mountain, the woman asked.

"It's good now. Why does it still hurt?"

"Oh, I killed two monsters and failed to become a general. In fact, I didn't even become a corps commander. I even got a hand. I'm sorry."

"What are you talking about? How about you go to my house tomorrow to propose marriage? Daddy has already agreed."

"Would it be...good?"

"The two demon clans are also very powerful."

"good."

The two of them went down the mountain and happened to meet a group of young people on the mountain road, wearing the clothes of government soldiers.

Ji Lin was wearing a border army uniform.

So I took a few more glances over there, and Ji Lin also took a few more glances.

They were drafted into the army and had to go to the state capital first.

…

…

On the other side of the state capital, there is now a group of infantry on their way to the north.

…

…

As they approached the county seat, the woman rolled her eyes and said, "Ji Lin, you've kept me waiting for so many years, and I almost don't look good anymore."

Ji Lin smiled and said, "I'm sorry."

The woman asked: "Then you don't regret not being able to marry the most beautiful me?"

Ji Lin thought for a while and asked, "Truth or lie?"

The woman didn't speak.

Ji Lin stopped talking.

How could I regret it?
