Chapter 390: Family, country and world

For the old lady who is over 90 years old, the most proud thing in her life is her grandson A Chou.

This old lady, who should have died eight years ago in history, spent her most comfortable old age in the Western Regions. If she had any regrets, it might be that Dong Qi had only four children, which seemed to be a little missing.

But no matter what, after the grandson and two great-grandsons came to Han'an City, the old lady suddenly became energetic.

His complexion looked even more vigorous. On the third day after Dong Qi arrived in Han'an City, the old lady actually got out of bed with a cane.

Dong Yuan, Li Ru...

Both Dong Shuo and Dong You were very happy.

But Dong Qi was not happy at all. He knew his grandmother's current situation very well. If he used the words of later generations to explain it, then four words could be explained clearly: Rejuvenation. In the previous life, the old man in the mountain village also had this situation. Although Hua Tuo could not explain the reason, he also understood that this recovery could only last for a short period of time.

"Lord, if you have time... spend more time with the old lady!"

In private, Hua Tuo said to Dong Qi: "A few days ago, the old lady kept calling your name in her dream."

A feeling of sorrow in his heart, Dong Qi silently agreed.

For him, the great cause of shit, the emperor and common people. If God could let the old lady live for another hundred years, he would rather trade his life's career. Because, for him, grandma is even more important than his life.

Without the old lady, how could he, Dong Xiping, achieve what he has today?

So, Li Ru wrote a letter to Chang'an, telling Chen Gong and others that he would stay in Han'an City for a while.

After that, the troubles in the Central Plains seemed to have no connection with Dong Qi.

It seems more important than anything else to be by my grandma's side, listen to her nagging, and accompany her to eat and walk.

"A Chou, please accompany me to Guanwangting for a walk."

The New Year has passed and the weather seems to be getting better.

One day, the old lady suddenly made a request to Dong Qi, and Dong Qi agreed without hesitation.

Guan Wangting is on the top of Guan Wang Mountain. Guan Wang Mountain is actually a hill located in the northeast of Han'an City, about twenty feet high, not majestic, it is a branch mountain of the Tianshan Mountains. Guan Wang Mountain was named by Dong Qi back then.

Guanzhong is in sight...

He laid a thick mattress and ordered people to prepare a warm sedan chair.

Thirty-six magnificent and dark-skinned Kunlun slaves lifted up the warm sedan chair and walked out of Han'an City to the mountain.

This Kunlun slave was a gift offered by the Great Yuezhi Kingdom back then.

It is said that he lives in the southeast, with a man with dark skin and curly hair. He is a subject under the Kushan country.

To put it bluntly, it is India, which is what later generations call Indians.

These Kunlun slaves were honest and diligent. Dong Qi walked on the side of the warm sedan chair, followed by the lion-maned beast and snow ghost. The group climbed Guanwang Mountain and saw an ancient pine tree, a four-meter-high pavilion standing on the edge of the cliff.

The building is also called Guanwang.

Standing on this building, you can overlook the entire Han'an City, and the majestic Western Regions style is all in your eyes.

"Grandma, grandson carry you on your back!"

Dong Qi carried his grandmother on his back without waiting for the old lady to speak. Kunlun slave stayed in the doorman under the pavilion. The troll followed Dong Qi up the tower and followed the winding corridor. Two people stopped every five steps until the top of the building.

The old lady enjoys this kind of feelings of her grandson.

There was a very bright smile on his haggard face. Yes, with such a grandson, what's the regret even if he died?

Two great-grandchildren followed Dong Qi very quietly.

Standing outside the viewing pavilion, he acted as a guard. The wind was very strong, and Dong Qi stood at the wind vent to shelter the old lady.

In the pavilion, there is a fire pit with coal burning inside.

The old lady leaned on the rocking chair, covered with a mattress, as if she was listening to the howling wind, without saying a word.

Dong Qi didn't say anything, and knelt beside the old lady.

After a long time, the old lady suddenly said, "A Chou, do you still remember your uncle?"

"Of course I remember!"

"Ten years ago, he passed away..."

"ah?"

"At that time, you and your father were fighting, I didn't inform you. However, when your uncle left, he was very happy."

Cheng Fang...

The old man who was almost forgotten once occupied a very important position in Dong Qi's life. It was that old man who handed over what General Fu Bo had learned throughout his life to Dong Qi. It was not that the military strategy he learned could be of use, but Dong Qi knew that what the old man had given him was also a earnest heart.

He actually left? And he left silently... It was not until ten years later that Dong Qi found out!

"Do you know where your uncle went in the last few years?"

Dong Qi shook his head, "I don't know!"

"He went to Ba County!"

"ah?"

Dong Qi couldn't help but feel confused and couldn't help asking: "What are you doing in Ba County?"

"Before he entered Sichuan, he wrote to me that he would go there to visit an old friend... Before leaving, he ordered someone to send a box back to Lintao, which contained a token."

The old lady took out a dark tiger-head token from her arms and handed it to Dong Qi.

The token was made of bronze and looked extremely old, so it was so dark that it was shiny. On one side, it was written with "Foboma", but on the other side, it was engraved with a tiger's head. However, the old man's forehead was not a figure of "king", but an ancient stone drum text. After careful identification, Dong Qi recognized that it was the word "Yan".

"Grandma, what does this mean?"

"Your uncle said in the letter: One day if the Dong family is in danger, you can take this token and find a Yan person to join Ba County. He also said that the man has a good relationship with him, and with this token, I can protect my Dong family from worry."

The surname Yan?

After thinking for a while, Dong Qi immediately woke up.

Cheng Fang said back then that there were four family generals under the command of General Fubo Ma Yuan, namely Cheng Huang and Pang Yan.

Now, among the four generals, Dong Qi belongs to Cheng's family; Huang Zhong and Pang De have appeared, and only one Yan family member has not known. I believe that the Yan family in Ba County is the descendant of the Yan family general back then, but he did not expect to know Cheng Fang.

Why did Cheng Fang do this?

It is obvious that Dong Zhuo was in Luoyang at that time and was facing the attack of the princes of Guandong.

The old man wanted to find a place for Dong Qi. If the old Dong family fails, there can also be a hiding place.

Although Cheng Fang did not say it clearly, this affection made Dong Qi feel grateful.

The old lady said, "I am a blind old woman and don't understand what you guys are doing. To be honest, I'm satisfied. My Chou is now famous all over the world, controlling the soldiers and horses of the Western Regions of Guanzhong and the people of the northwest. Who is disrespectful to the old Dong family? No matter whether he is really respectful or fake respect, your grandfather will have no regrets in his life!"

Dong Qi's grandfather, Dong Zhuo's father, Dong Ya, devoted his life to strengthening the Dong family.

For this, Dong Zhuo struggled all his life!

Dong Qi knew that the old lady had something to say...

Now the Dong family is indeed the largest clan in Guanzhong. In the entire northwest, the Dong family stomped their feet and the ground was about to tremble.

The old lady whispered: "A Chou, what did you say about the great Han Dynasty?... Haha, the old woman doesn't understand these. The old woman only knows that the Han Dynasty has nothing to do with our Dong family. The Dong family has today's situation. It is a world that you smashed with two hammers in your hand. A Chou, I just want to ask you, how do you think about the Dong family?"

"Dong Family..."

Dong Qi really didn't know how to answer, and pondered for a moment and said, "The grandson will definitely protect the glory of the Dong family."

"Haha, I knew you would say that. But can you protect me? Even if you can, your children and grandchildren can? Your children and grandchildren can, your children and grandchildren, can you? Ah Chou, do you still remember what grandma said to you?"

“Um…”

"Grandma said that you can betray anyone, but you can't betray our home. This home is our lifeblood!"

Dong Qi is confused!

He didn't understand what the old lady said to him meant.

The mountain wind was howling, and the pavilion was particularly quiet. Dong Qi looked at his grandmother's face, and gradually... he seemed to understand something.

"Your uncle has left, and the vows of the past have also dissipated with the wind. Ah Chou, what should you do in the future should be carefully. One step is wrong, every step is wrong... Sometimes you may not find it, but when you find it, it may be too late."

Dong Qi felt that the old lady said something strange today.

No mind, there is something in your words...

But the overall meaning of this is: the family is the benefit of the fundamentals. So what is the relationship between this and the aristocratic family?

Grandma wants to tell me: Aristocratic families are invincible?

Dong Qi couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

After saying this, the old lady seemed very tired. She probably didn't want to interfere with Dong Qi, but she had to say it.

I had to use very obscure words to mention the director.

But saying these words exhausted her spirit. In the recliner, the old lady lay quietly. Under the bedding, her thin palm was placed in Dong Qi's big hand. Before she knew it, the old lady closed her eyes, but Dong Qi was unaware of anything.

The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, with pride, satisfaction, and a little nostalgia...

His hands gradually became colder, and Dong Qi realized the abnormality of the old lady. He whispered: "Grandma?"

But the old lady did not respond.

"Grandma, grandma!"

Dong Qi called out several times, but the old lady seemed to be asleep, shaking gently with the rocking chair.

One hand was thrown in Dong Qi's hand, while the other hand was tightly holding the dragon-head crutch that Dong Qi gave her.

The rocking chair is rocking and shaking, the mountain wind is howling.
