Chapter 177 Zhiwei, can I hug you?
The eldest grandson Ning Xinzhe was only six years old. He shook his head without hesitation, "No, I don't want to. I want to lead the troops to fight. I want the Ning Family Army to continue. I can't let my father and grandfather's blood be shed in vain."
Ning Xinrui is younger, but the children of the Ning family are not qualified to be naive. "Aunt, I am not afraid of tiredness, hardship, or bloodshed. I want to practice martial arts well and inherit my father's legacy."
The female family members had extremely complicated expressions. These were the only two children in this generation of the Ning family. If anything went wrong, no one would survive.
Ning Zhiwei gently embraced them, eyes full of relief, "Good children, remember, your surname is Ning, your body flows with the blood of the Ning family, it is the ancestors of the Ning family who fought bravely and killed the enemy, in exchange for our luxurious clothes and delicious food, we must live up to our ancestors and hold up a sky for the future generations."
She reached out and touched the other three girls. Except for the eldest granddaughter Yuanxi, the others were still very ignorant.
"Also, the higher you stand, the greater your responsibility. One day, you will understand the meaning of this sentence."
Rights and responsibilities correspond to each other.
After she said this, she bowed deeply to Old Madam Ning, then turned around resolutely and strode out.
Watching her disappearing figure, Ning Yuanxi burst into tears, "Aunt, we'll wait for you to come back."
As soon as she started crying, the others couldn't hold back any more, their eyes filled with tears. "Aunt, you must come back safely. We will all be waiting for you, forever and ever."
"Aunt, Rui'er is waiting for you to come back and eat cakes together."
The children cried so hard that the women of the Ning family were heartbroken. Old Madam Ning hugged her eldest grandson Ning Xinzhe and coaxed him, "Okay, stop crying."
Ning Xinzhe pursed his lips and quietly wiped away his tears, "I didn't cry." He is the eldest grandson, he has no right to cry, he has to be strong.
His stubborn appearance made people laugh and cry. Old Madam Ning touched his head and asked, "Do you like your fifth aunt so much?"
Ning Xinzhe nodded without hesitation, "She is a great hero in my mind. When I grow up, I want to be a great hero like her."
Standing tall and proud? Ning Zhiwei?
Ning Yuanxi pursed her lips and said, "If my father were alive, he would be as brave and invincible as her, shouldering the responsibility of the entire family, protecting everyone under his wings, and becoming everyone's support, right?"
The children of the Ning family have a mysterious trust and admiration for Ning Zhiwei and regard her as a role model.
Madam Ning Si Shao said sourly, "Your aunt is a girl."
They are usually responsible for taking care of several children, but they have never seen the children trust them so wholeheartedly.
Ning Yuanxi pouted, "What's wrong with being a girl? My aunt is more powerful than anyone else. So many men have to obey her orders."
Everyone was speechless. What should they say?
Who wouldn't want a child as smart and capable as Ning Zhiwei? She is indeed very strong! But she is a special case. There is only one Ning Zhiwei in the world.
Ning Zhiwei didn't care what they thought. The women who grew up in luxury in the capital and she who grew up in the northwest were from two different worlds. She didn't need their approval. She just wanted to protect them under her wings and repay the great kindness of her grandfather and uncles.
The youth camp was ready to go, and everyone was eager to try. Zhou Hongye and Ning Wenyin in the carriage were also full of expectations, and they were excited to follow Ning Zhiwei to conquer the world.
Ning Zhiwei, dressed in a neat outfit, walked over quickly with Shaoyao, and a voice called her. "Zhiwei."
It was Rong Jing. He looked at her with reluctance and walked out from the darkness step by step.
He had countless things to say, but when the words came to his lips, they turned into just two words, "Take care."
Ning Zhiwei looked at him deeply and said, "You too, be careful in everything. Kill all the Lu family members that can be killed. Don't give them the opportunity to cause trouble."
Things here have not been properly handled yet. We need to sort out the connections, place our confidants in key positions, and control the entire Mingzhou.
This tedious process requires time, energy, and means.
"I know. Don't worry. You..." Rong Jing hesitated, and his handsome face turned red. "Can I hug you?"
Ning Zhiwei was stunned for a moment, then smiled secretly. If you are so brave, why are you blushing?
She took the initiative to stretch out her arms, and Rong Jing was flattered and hugged her tightly, his heart trembling.
They are as gentle as boneless, yet they make people feel extremely at ease. They are his only family.
"I'm waiting for you."
Ning Zhiwei heard the attachment in the voice and softened her heart, "We have to be fine. Wait for me."
She pushed him away and walked out, her steps firm and decisive.
Her long journey is about to begin.
At her command, everyone set off.
After leaving the city gate, Ning Zhiwei, who was sitting in the carriage, pulled open the curtain and waved to the man on the city wall.
Ning Wenyin, who was sitting opposite, couldn't help but joked, "You can't bear to part with it, right?"
Ning Zhiwei smiled slightly, "Today's separation is for tomorrow's reunion."
She changed the subject and said, "Big sister, you don't have to follow us now."
Ning Wenyin insisted on going with her. She couldn't stand the advice of the women in her family who asked her to focus on her life, marry a good man in the northwest, and have some children.
She has seen a wider world, so how could she be willing to go back to the suffocating backyard?
"If you can do it, I can do it too."
It was too early to say that. Two days later, Ning Wenyin was no longer able to bear it. Even though she was sitting in a comfortable carriage, the road conditions became worse the further west she went, and the bumps made her want to vomit.
They were on the road day and night, and everyone took turns eating and sleeping in the carriage, without ever stopping.
After a few days, she was about to collapse.
Not only her, but Zhou Hongye in another carriage couldn't bear it either. He vomited all over, his face turned pale, and he fell ill.
He could only laugh at himself, thinking that being a good-for-nothing scholar was the best thing he could do.
Well, we can only put them down and settle them down, assign them guards, and let them recover slowly before continuing on their journey.
Without any burden, the group rode lightly and simply to Baiyun County.
"My Lord, this is Baiyun County."
Ning Zhiwei lifted the curtain to observe the environment. After a long time, he sighed softly, "We are still a step too late. Baiyun County has fallen into Su Mingjin's hands."
Su Mingjin set out a few days earlier than her, but there was nothing he could do.
Dongsheng was stunned. "How did you know that?"
Ning Zhiwei raised his chin and motioned them to look in a direction. "Look at the soldiers at the city gate. Have you found anything?"
Everyone looked at him for a long time. Aren't they just ordinary soldiers? Is there any problem?
Ning Zhiwei saw that they could not see the problem and could only say that they were too young and inexperienced. He could only explain himself, "The salaries in the Northwest region are often in arrears, and the lowest-level soldiers are even unable to eat their next meal. But what about these soldiers guarding the city?"
An idea flashed through Dongsheng's mind, "He doesn't look hungry, he's still very strong."
"Yes, Su Mingjin doesn't need this little money." Ning Zhiwei immediately made a corresponding countermeasure. "Leave half of them outside the city to support, and separate the other half to follow me into the city."
