The first mix of history Chapter 29 Going home???? I heard my mother say this, and I felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't quite put my finger on what it was.

  She said: "Empress, how can I be at ease?"

  Mom said: "If you don't come back, then you won't have to account for it to her."

  "Isn't this a betrayal? The Empress has been quite good to me."

  The old lady said, "This Empress, you can't say she buys people's hearts, but in her position, every word and action must have a political purpose. Do you think if you weren't the Sword God, she would still be so attentive to you?"

  "I exclaimed in shock: 'She's going to listen to you talking about her like that and not die of heartbreak?'"

  "Mom said: 'She and I are monarch and minister, you know what kind of person Mom is best. To be honest, there isn't much loyalty to the emperor in my heart. The empress has treated me well, within my ability, I will help her with all my might, but have you ever heard of anyone sacrificing their son for their superior?'"

  "What about the people of that country?"

  "My mother sighed and said, 'What I'm most worried about is this. Since ancient times, when war breaks out, the common people are always the ones who suffer the most. As their general, all I can do is 'exhaust my loyalty and die for them'. But you're different, you don't belong here, you have no obligation to help them.'"

  "I hung my head and said: 'Actually, the empress and the common people are not important to me. What's most important is mom. If I don't come back, won't I never see you again?'"

  Mom's eyes turned red, and after a moment of silence, she said softly: "Yangyang, Mom has lived two lifetimes, and in these two lifetimes, I only have you as my son. You are Mom's everything. If something happens to you, what's the point of me being alive? As long as you live safely and happily, even if I don't get to see you, Mom will be content."

  I also sadly said: "Mom, don't say that."

  "Go back and live a good life, get married, have children, find a decent job. Your father is getting old, you should take good care of him. As for your stepmother with the surname Meng... I heard she's not bad to you, so you should treat her well too."

  I couldn't help but laugh and say: "You're thinking too much, aren't you? That last sentence was insincere, wasn't it?"

  Mom glared at me and said, "Don't make a joke out of this. Don't mention my business to anyone. After all, you and I have met, and I don't have any regrets left. From now on, it's just living in two different places and being inconveniently connected, no different from those kids working abroad."

  I said: "Then who will support you when you are old?"

  "Am I supposed to be supported by you?"

  "Then who protects you?"

  "Never mind, you can't even take care of yourself. If it wasn't for good luck earlier..." The old lady also felt a chill run down her spine and stopped talking.

  I suddenly thought of a question and said, "Mom, don't forget that even if I go back, it's not just me alone. There's also Su Jing there. If I say I'm not going back, do you think she'll agree?"

  "Old mother held the cheek with her hand and said: "I really forgot about this." She thought for a while and said: "In that case, you just tell her it's my intention. When there's no other choice, you can also tell her about our relationship. Just be straightforward and tell her, in the country of daughters, there is also me, the great general, and it's not necessary to drag others into this."

  "Can she hear you?"

  "Sujing is my goddaughter and still very respectful to me."

  "I actually knew that, but I think she has the attitude of not giving up until she reaches the Yellow River, and it's hard to persuade her with just a few words."

  "Actually, you don't know that Su Jing and her master Mei are both proud people, it's just that Mei has a bit more self-satisfaction, while Su Jing is somewhat out of place in this world. There may not be anyone she truly respects. She was forced to come to you, Su Jing was originally unwilling, if it weren't for the sake of the Federation and the people of the Female Country, she would never have humbled herself. As long as you talk to her openly, I think she won't force others to do things."

  I said: "This I have also seen."

  "Go back and take good care of her, Su Jing this girl is a bit arrogant, but she can work hard for the people without complaint, even put aside her dignity to do things she doesn't want to do. This kind of awareness makes me feel inferior, unfortunately, she is from a foreign country and is also the Queen's appointed loyal and virtuous official, if it weren't for being able to stay there and live a peaceful life, it would be a good ending."

  After hearing this sentence, I suddenly realized what was wrong - my mother's words were filled with a sense of disappointment and despair, as if she didn't have high hopes for her daughter's future.

  "Mom, don't you have confidence in this fight?"

  "Mother said: 'There are some things I can only tell you, these years have been difficult for me to take a step, fortunately, I haven't let the country lose an inch of land. The hardships I've faced, only I know. The phrase "victory and defeat are common in war" may be effective for other countries' generals, but I dare not think that way. As the great general, I must not lose a battle. Our country is weak from birth, with the powerful Honglie Empire to the north, the cunning eighteen-country alliance to the west, and the ferocious barbarian tribes to the south. Today's situation is one that I've maintained with care and precision. Winning one or two battles is not difficult, what I worry about most is not losing, but which path our country should take in the future.'"

  "What does this mean?"

  The old mother worried and said: "Now the daughter country, the emperor is wise, the soldiers are brave, the people are rich, but it can only maintain a situation of not winning or losing. Think about it, if one day any link has problems, how will the daughter country face various external worries and internal troubles?"

  I said: "It's like a strong young porter, who can barely make ends meet by carrying packages for people now, but it won't be easy to say in a few more years."

  The old lady nodded and said, "Your metaphor is very apt. The last war between the two continents lasted for 10 years. This time, Hei Jisi has been preparing for a long time, and it's impossible to have a result in just seven or eight years. I am confident that within three years, not a single soldier of Hei Jisi will be able to set foot in our country. As for whether we will be dragged down afterwards, I really can't say."

  I said: "Actually, the key issue is still with men. When a male soldier comes up, you need to use three female soldiers to resist him. The Flying Phoenix Army may be fierce, but it's not a regular method. In the next decade or several decades, no one can guarantee that the Flying Phoenix Army's formation will not change. Even if the formation remains, whether they can always fight hard battles is also a problem."

  Mom said: "What you said is right, but all of this can't be changed."

  Mom had no way, and I was even more at a loss. So I said, "Mom, why don't you come back with me? Even if you don't want to see my dad, I'll buy you a house outside and we can live a peaceful life together. There are definitely many people who want to take your place as the general, and if you leave, someone else will naturally lead the army."

  "Old mother shook her head and said: 'If I leave now, it's equivalent to treason. The 200,000 Flying Phoenix Army would become orphaned children. Even if old mother is selfish, she can't do such a thing.'"

  "Then let me come back and help you!"

  "Stop talking, you have to leave and never come back!"

  "What if I have the ability to help you? As long as I can cultivate my sword energy, I can regain my former strength. With Su Jing, two sword gods should be of some use, right?"

  "No, whether you are the Sword God or not is unimportant to your mother. What's important is that you live a good life. You don't understand battles; how can one or two people possibly change the course of war? The Empress sent someone to find you, and it has more political significance than actual significance. Don't you understand?"

  Su Jing had also explicitly told me that she didn't expect me to actually help with anything, just wanted me to come and make an appearance, stir up the soy sauce party members.

  "But I don't want to leave you."

  Mom pressed on my shoulder and said: "I'll miss you too, but you have to live your life. I'm used to being alone now, but you still have your own life over there."

  "You're making me feel even worse by saying this."

  Mom said: "Tomorrow I have to go to the school's military field for roll call, so I might not be able to see you off. But remember what Mom says, don't come back again!"

  It has come to this, I had no choice but to say: "I know." I waved my hand and called over a guard. My mother said: "What are you doing?"

  "Let me do something for you one last time." I said to the guard, "Go to Meiyuan and ask Sumei Shitai to come here for me."

  "What?!" The guard thought he had misheard. When was the great Su Mei ever "invited" like this? So, not very confident in this mission, he said: "Is that it?"

  I said: "You should be ashamed of buying 2 catties of pastries on your way."

  "What I mean is, should we ask Generalissimo to write a handwritten letter? It would also seem more solemn?"

  I smiled and said: "The general is hard to get along with, just say I told her to come."

  "It is." The guard hesitated and left.

  Mom asked me: "What did you invite Ku Mei for?"

  I said: "I can no longer entrust your safety to a group of girls, Ku Mei is after all a sword saint, I want to ask her to be your personal bodyguard."

  "Old mother exclaimed: 'You really dare to think, let a sword saint be my bodyguard, even the empress doesn't have this treatment.'"

  I said: "The Queen is not the son of a Sword Saint, who's special if we're not?"

  "Goodness gracious!" exclaimed his mother.

  As expected, Ku Mei rushed over as soon as she heard I was looking for her. I told her about what happened to my mom today and she indignantly said "How could that be?"

  "These thieves are too arrogant!" She raised her hand and slapped a stone lion, turning it into an Egyptian cat. I took advantage of the situation and said: "Among those people on the other side, there is actually a Sword Saint. After thinking about it again and again, if we want to protect General Zhou completely, we can only ask you to take action."

  Bitter plum farted and said: "Master doesn't need to think about it, now the whole girl's country only I have the confidence to deal with him."

  I thought to myself, "What a pity that Su Jing is not here. Such a good opportunity to flatter him has been missed by me." So I shifted the topic and said, "Mainly because I'm worried you won't be willing."

  Ku Mei said: "Since it's Master's words, what can Ah Mei be unwilling about?" She turned to Old Mother and said: "From now on, I will not leave General's side by an inch."

  "Old mother said: 'How dare let Master Su Mei condescend to do such a thing?'"

  Kumei said: "In the past, Kumei was a bit arrogant, but after Master's teachings, I have completely repented. The most valuable thing I can do for our country now is to protect General Taishi, what nonsense about lowering my status?"

  "Then thank you, Master," said his mother.

  。。。。。?

  Here is the translation:

  And so, a day passed quickly, and early on the second day, all levels of commanders from Fei Feng's army gathered at the martial arts arena. When I got up, my mother was already standing on the commanding platform. Before long, Yun Qin Wang personally led his troops to come and fetch me. I dragged my feet and delayed intentionally, but in the end, we still couldn't have a final farewell. As I reluctantly walked to the gate of the General's Mansion, my mother finally rushed out from inside, her face flushed with anxiety. Mother and son faced each other, filled with regret that had no end. But considering there were others present, they couldn't say too much. My mother stood on the steps, her eyes shining with tears, and could only force out a few words: "Remember what I said when you get back."

  I nodded and choked out: "Take care."

  Ku Mei said: "Master, rest assured and go, I guarantee General's safety with my life."

  I told her, "You should take care of yourself too, and there's no need to follow me everywhere. You're not young anymore either." This time I've caused enough trouble for the old lady, and I can't pretend to be a great master anymore. My status has been reduced from master to apprentice, and before leaving, I even deceived them into accepting a long-term job. On this trip to my daughter's country, I feel most guilty towards two people: one is Wu Yin, whom I've knocked out several of his back teeth; Wu Yin won't be able to chew gum anymore in the future. The other is Su Mei, an old nun who clearly has deep feelings for me from our past life, and what I did was emotional blackmail, which feels particularly unkind.

  I mounted the horse prepared by Yun Qinwang for me, and left the General's Mansion with three steps back. As I saw my mother's figure getting farther and farther away until it disappeared, I wiped my eyes hard.

  Yun Qinwang smiled and said: "It's only been two days and you're already inseparable, your relationships with others aren't bad, huh."

  I forced a smile and said, "You're quite popular too, General. He's always praising you." Through my mom's introduction, I also gained a new understanding of Yun Qi Wang, knowing that the woman in front of me had given up her royal position for the country's peace, and although she was a bit promiscuous, men didn't take advantage of her, so this king wasn't bad.

  Yun Qinwang smiled and said: "I don't care about the praise of those officials at all."

  "What kind of praise do you want then?"

  "Hehe, I just like it when the man I like praises me for doing a good job."

  Looking at her flirtatious appearance, I said gloomily: "Don't tease me anymore, I'm about to leave, do you want me to think of the Daughter Country in the future and regret it till my intestines turn green?"

  "Are you not going back?"

  I knew I had misspoken and hastily changed the subject: "Where are we going now?"

  Yun Qing Wang said: "Go to my royal palace, the transmission point is set there."

  "How is the Emperor?"

  "She has been waiting for you over there."

  "Oh."

  We arrived at the Wangfu of Yun Qinwang with a sense of melancholy, someone hastily went to inform the Empress, Yun Qinwang led me into the main gate of the Wangfu, this was one of the two places I had been to in the country of women, the General's mansion was stern and rough, the imperial palace was majestic and solemn, but here was the most like a noble residence I had ever seen, as soon as we entered there were bridges flowing with water, corridors and pavilions, this woman was indeed suitable to be the wife of the 30-year-old King of Peace, she really knew how to enjoy herself.

  As we walked, I asked her: "Will we start right away?"

  Yun Qin Wang said: "Yes, why are you asking this?"

  I clutched my belly and said: "I still need to go to the toilet."

  Yun's uncle asked: "Why do you go to the toilet wherever you go?"?

  "Stop wasting words, the Emperor is still waiting."

  Yun's uncle Wang said helplessly: "The toilet is quite far from here."

  "I burst out: 'Why don't you all cover the toilet seat?'"

  Yun Qinwang's eyes swept left and right, pointing at a fake mountain in front of him: "How about that one?"

  I bitterly smiled and said: "Alright, from now on I won't be able to pee without a fake mountain."

  "Off you go! Do you think you're a dog?" Yun Qinwang gave me a push and said, "Old rules, I'll help you keep watch."

  Is there a friend around you who, when you're urinating somewhere, says he'll help you keep watch? Then when you undo your pants, he suddenly shouts: "Come and see!"?

  I'm that kind of friend.
