You have asked for permission to marry, why should I restrain myself?

Chapter 301 Ning Xi: Tell me how my rebellious son bullied my apprentice

The warhorse dived down from the sand pit, was frightened and lost control. Its tall body directly knocked down the soldier who was rushing up, and its iron hooves trampled everything on the ground frantically.

The soldier's body was twisted and deformed under the horse's hooves. The iron hooves crushed his ribs in his chest. The broken bones pierced his chest, and blood flowed out.

They did not die on the spot, but kept wailing.

Suddenly, a voice came from behind:

"Make way, make way!"

They quickly made way for a path in the crowd.

I saw four young men riding their horses at full speed, their horses' hooves stirring up the snow, followed by a dozen war horses. Wherever they passed, the snow was flying.

Those men ran past them and rushed into the sand pit with the dozen or so war horses.

Suddenly, the soldiers who were lying on the ground and wailing were trampled by more than a dozen horses and turned into meat paste, deader than dead.

A dozen war horses were chasing and trampling in the sand pit.

Those soldiers were no longer human beings at this moment, but prey, prey to be brutally slaughtered.

The blood dyed the pure white snow on the ground red. Some people's intestines were stepped out, entangled with horse hooves, and dragged far away.

The scene was horrific, like hell on earth.

The soldiers who had just shouted at the traitors to kill them were now all silent.

It’s too tragic!

They deserve to die, but not like this!

Hull looked at the scene in the sand pit, his eyes unconsciously sour, he opened his mouth and shouted:

"Third Master, a gentleman can be killed but not humiliated!"

A soldier in the crowd echoed:

"A scholar can be killed but not humiliated!"

"Seniors can be killed, but not humiliated!"

Others also shouted. Lin Yanzhi heard their voices, pulled the reins, turned his head and glanced at them. Finally, his eyes fell on Hull with a cold look:

"If we still have good intentions towards traitors, who will still respect military rules in the future? If they are afraid, how can they betray? It is precisely because the punishment is not strong enough that they have the intention to betray. Now that I have temporarily taken over the position of the general, I have the right to severely punish these traitors. I want to make those who intend to betray in the future, as long as they have such thoughts in their hearts, they will be afraid to the core!"

Hull looked reluctant.

"But even though they violated military regulations, killing them cruelly is inhumane, isn't it, Third Young Master?"

"Humanity? Then General Hull, have you ever thought about what we would face if the secret letter was successfully delivered to His Majesty? Have you ever thought about what the fate of the 100,000 Lin family soldiers would be? Now, they have wiped out your entire family. If the denunciation is successful, the fate will be the extermination of all nine clans! Don't you think about your own brother in Jiangnan?"

Hull pursed his lips, tightened the sword in his hand, and said nothing more.

Seeing that he had nothing to say, Lin Yanzhi turned his gaze to the others and said:

"We should be kind, but we should be kind to our comrades, our relatives, and the millions of people who believe in us, not these traitors! If they had any comradeship for us, how could they betray us and burn us?"

No one refuted Lin Yanzhi's question, nor did anyone dare to refute it.

Yes! Although they were former comrades-in-arms, their comradeship changed when they planned to send the secret letter to the capital.

They never consider their life or death, so why should they care whether their death is too tragic or too easy?

Lin Yanzhi watched the reluctance in their eyes gradually turn into determination, and his lips formed an almost invisible curve.

They keep saying that the Ye family is a worthless person, so how can they be good people?

As for the good ones...it’s better to destroy them!

Lin Yanzhi looked at those people in the sand pit who had not begged for mercy until now, and the desire to destroy in his eyes was even stronger.

He really enjoyed torturing these tough guys, enjoyed destroying their will, enjoyed their screams, and even enjoyed their blood!

Zhao Zihe looked at his own prince.

He has this ability to easily draw out the evil and meanness in people's hearts.

After Lin Yanzhi finished speaking, he waved the whip and drove the horse into the sand pit again.

Several other young masters followed suit, and immediately, the sound of horse hooves and screams intertwined, and the sand pit was covered in blood...

……

Aurora Island.

Ning Xi looked at the long-dust door in front of her, stunned for a long time, and finally raised her hand and pushed it open.

The place was dusty and had a musty smell that hadn't been occupied for a long time.

The whole room was empty, with only a set of silver-grey armor hanging on the middle shelf and a shiny red tasseled spear placed on the weapon stand next to it.

These were the armor and weapons she wore when she went to the battlefield. After overthrowing the Ye family, she buried them. When she was leaving again, she passed by the peach forest and dug them out.

She originally just wanted to keep it as a souvenir, but never thought that there would be a day when she would pick it up again.

Ning Yi followed beside her, looking at her armor and red tasseled spear curiously.

Ever since he called her "A Niang" yesterday, he has been following her wherever she goes.

He tapped the red tasseled spear lightly, and the red tasseled spear immediately made a crisp sound.

Ning Yi's hearing was different from that of an ordinary person. As soon as he heard the sound, he knew it was a good weapon. His brown pupils lit up slightly. He looked at Ning Xi and said:

"Mother's?"

Ning Xi nodded and said:

"Want to play?"

Ning Yi nodded sincerely.

"Then take it and play with it!"

Ning Yi's lips curled up in a rare moment.

He reached out and picked up the red tasseled spear and started practicing. He had never used the red tasseled spear before, so he was practicing with sword skills. However, his movements were very smooth and his hand holding the red tasseled spear was very steady.

When he finished playing, he turned to look at her.

Ning Xi: ...This familiar look...

She still remembered that when Ning Yi remembered a piece of knowledge when they were young, he would look at her like this without saying anything. At first she didn't understand, but later she realized that he was waiting for her to praise him.

"Ning Yi is so amazing!"

As Ning Xi spoke, she saw Ning Yi's mouth corners curled up.

Ning Yi wanted to play more, Ning Xi said:

"The house is small, go play outside."

Ning Yi took the red tassel spear and went out.

The room suddenly became quiet. Ning Xi reached out and gently rubbed the armor with her fingertips.

She caught a glimpse of someone coming in from the corner of her eye, and she looked up. It was Mrs. Lin.

She stood by the door, looking at her with red eyes.

"Do you really have to go? We have already sent the letter yesterday. I believe that His Majesty will have a way to deal with it after receiving the letter."

"It takes at least half a month to get from the coast to the capital. Moreover, many places are experiencing heavy snowfalls, which will affect the journey. By the time they receive the letter, it will be too late."

Ning Xi paused for a moment and said:

"Besides, Zhao Zhao's whereabouts are unknown, and Duke Lin's life or death is uncertain. Aren't you worried?"

Mrs. Lin's tears fell suddenly.

"I am worried, but I am also worried that something might happen to you! They are just outsiders to you! Ning Xi, you don't have to go."

She has been hiding for so many years, she must have her considerations, difficulties, and unwillingness.

She didn't want to implicate Ning Xi because of her affairs.

"One of them is my disciple, and the other is my best friend. They are in trouble now, so I have to go! Besides, I am not just doing this for them. After all these years, I also want to see my son."

Mrs. Lin was stunned when she heard this.

"how do you know?"

In fact, two years ago, ever since she found out that Xiao Yan was not the Queen's biological son, Mrs. Lin had some vague suspicions in her heart.

The reason why I didn't tell Ning Xi when we met was because I was afraid that she would go straight to the border.

The border is too dangerous now!

One less person getting into trouble means one more help.

"The first thing your fourth son said when he saw me was to ask me if I was the princess of His Majesty who was stranded away. When I asked, I found out that I looked too much like the third prince, and he thought we were siblings. I guessed it then, and after you met me, you kept silent about Xiao Yan's affairs, so I was sure! Come on, the weather is good now, I'll take you to the beach, and tell me how my rebellious son bullied my disciple."

The breeze caressed the coconut trees, the leaves swayed in the wind, and the waves surged up one after another.

Ning Xi brought Mrs. Lin to the beach and sat on the rocks. Ning Yi then speared the fish with the red tassel spear in his hand.

He moved quickly, fiercely and accurately, and each time he shot, he would always catch a fish, which soon attracted the cheers and onlookers of several children. He seemed a little embarrassed and looked up at her.

Ning Xi smiled at him and looked at him encouragingly.

He seemed to be encouraged. He took the fish off the red tasseled spear and handed it to the children. The children immediately hugged the big fish and jumped for joy.

Happiness is contagious, and Ning Yi's expressionless face softened.

Ning Xi couldn't help but laugh. Halfway through her laugh, she remembered that she had used the red tassel spear to kill people on the battlefield, so she quickly stood up and walked to the child.

Those children were obviously very familiar with Ning Xi. When they saw Ning Xi, they happily let her look at the big fish in their arms.

"Aunt island owner, look, it's a big fish."

Ning Xi looked at the fish and spoke nonsense in a serious tone:

"I see the belly of this fish is bulging, I guess there are little fish in it. What is the fifth rule of our island motto?"

The children recited it skillfully:

"There is a way to catch fish, don't disturb small fish; pregnant fish bring hope, pregnant fish bring the future!"

This elementary school student's slogan was thought up by Ning Xi after racking his brains.

I have never passed the Chinese composition exam since I was a child, and I really can’t think of any outstanding sentences.

Ning Xi listened and guided:

"So what should we do?"

“Release them!”

The children answered in unison.

After that, a little girl looked at the black hole in the fish's belly that was pierced by the red tassel spear and asked in confusion:

"But it seems to be seriously injured. Can it survive if it is released back into the sea?"

He shouldn't be able to survive!

The smile on Ning Xi's face froze. She took out a bottle of medicine from her pocket, took the fish, sprinkled the medicine on the fish, and then quickly put it back into the sea. She was afraid that she would be exposed in even a second.

Fortunately, the fish was very tenacious and swam into the sea, shaking its tail.

When the children saw that the little fish was safe and sound, they immediately cheered.

After doing all this, Ning Xi looked at Ning Yida:

"This red tassel spear has been used in the battlefield. It is not suitable for spearing fish. Go get that one."

Ning Xi pointed to the fishing net not far away.

Ning Yi followed Ning Xi's gaze, looked at the fishing net and then at the red tasseled spear in his hand. He turned it over and thrust it hard into the sand, then raised his foot to pick up the fishing net.

The child was also very curious about the red tassel spear. Her red tassel spear was very heavy. Ning Xi was afraid that the red tassel spear would hit the child, so she reached out to try it. Ning Yi inserted it very deep. After making sure that the child could not pull it out, she went to Mrs. Lin again.

Mrs. Lin's eyes were always on Ning Yi. When she noticed her coming, she said:

"He likes you very much."

When he was little, she didn't know that he was her child. She only knew that he was different from others. This time, he saved them. During the more than one month they spent together, she had a deeper impression of him.

He is not talkative and doesn't like to interact with people. He is not interested in what others say. He is like a wooden man without emotions. But after meeting Ning Xi again, he seems to come alive.

He would call her mother and follow Ning Xi happily, going wherever she went.

I would wait for Ning Xi to praise me like a little kid.

When Ning Xi heard what Mrs. Lin said, she didn't feel embarrassed or guilty about depriving someone else's mother's rights:

"I've been so good to him, it's only natural that he likes me!"

Thinking back to the time when she had bought all the expensive herbs to save him, she loved money so much, if he still didn't know how to be grateful and grew up to be an ungrateful person, she would definitely use a bottle of poison to make him return to his original state.

Ning Xi paused and said:

"When I first found him, he was full of poison. Not only his blood, but everything that could be excreted from his body was highly toxic. Even the food he ate was highly toxic. Later, when I tried to feed him porridge for the first time, he vomited after taking a bite. That night, he had a high fever, and all his organs reacted extremely. He almost died."

When Mrs. Lin heard how much her child had suffered, she couldn't stop crying.

"If only..."

Mrs. Lin choked up again as she spoke.

In fact, it is useless to say more now, nothing can be changed.

Ning Xi reached out and grabbed her hand, comforting her.

"It's all in the past. He had a very hard life. If he goes back in the future, you must treat him well and give him lots of love."

Before he was five, no one knew what kind of life he led. He never told anyone, not even her.

"Well, we will. We owe him."

The two looked at Ning Yi, who was casting a net to catch fish. There were several children surrounding him, exclaiming from time to time. One child was trying to pull out the red tassel spear. It was a comfortable and beautiful scene.

Ning Xi narrowed her eyes slightly and said:

"Tell me about Xiao Yan's story, too!"
