Better to live forever [Rebirth]

Pingzhou.

Zhou Mu Tenghui and the generals of the Pingzhou garrison received the Zhu Jiajun's seal at the same time, and released Zhu Dingbei and his party.

Zhu Dingbei acted hastily, but Teng Hui and his wife sent them off.They didn't have time to reminisce about the old days, and they didn't ask Zhu Dingbei the purpose of his trip, but talked about the situation faced by the Pingzhou navy and the battle situation of other navy in the East China Sea that they knew.Qin Miehu led the army to fight against the pirates, and knew the situation of the pirates better than others.

Zhu Dingbei had long known how powerful these pirates were, but his heart still sank when he heard Qin Miehu personally talk about the difficult coping and cunning and cunning of the pirates.

Qin Miehu: "These pirates are a hundred times more powerful than the members of the Yu clan back then. They were trained in the way of a serious naval officer. Whether it is battleship weapons or marching tactics, they have rules. And each of them is a master in the water. Li is their home field, compared to their ability to stay in the water for three days without hindering their water quality, our soldiers are far behind."

Zhu Dingbei had personally experienced Yu Deng's strength, and now he heard Qin Mie nonsense that the pirates were so much more difficult to deal with than Yu Deng's people, and he also knew that this tough battle had to be fought head-on with strength and they would not be able to win.Now, half of his chances of winning are on Zhen Feihe and Xie Yonglin, but Zhen Feihe is old and cunning, and he must be cheating if he followed them so obediently on this trip, and he must be prepared to adapt to the situation.

Teng Hui and his wife sent off for a few miles, then reined in the horse's head, Qin Miehu said to Zhu Dingbei: "Changsheng, although I don't know what your plan is, I want your elder brother Qin Liang to follow you. He knows water affairs well." , he is a stable person, and his skills are good, so I can rest assured that he is with you."

She sincerely did not want Zhu Dingbei to refuse, but she knew in her heart that Zhu Dingbei was going to take risks on this trip.She asked her eldest son to accompany her because she wanted to save Zhu Dingbei's life in case of emergency. For the child she was expecting to be born, even though she didn't meet much, it didn't affect her love for this child.

Zhu Dingbei was very moved, and he had no intention of rejecting her.

Teng Qinliang solemnly expressed to his mother that he would protect him with all his strength, and after watching his parents leave, he turned to Zhu Dingbei and said with a smile, "Brother Changsheng, brother, I have come to seek my future with you, so don't you give it to me?" An opportunity for meritorious service."

Zhu Dingbei was amused by him, "Brother Qin Liang and Brother Qin Ping are worthy of being brothers. Usually, you hide so deeply that I only see you as steady and reliable brother. Now I am impressed."

Teng Qinliang laughed. With him joining, the road was less deserted.

After the war in Dongyi, the brothers Teng Qinliang and Teng Qinping asked for orders to return to Pingzhou. After all, there are only a few good generals in the navy. Although they are young, their family background is better than ordinary generals who are promoted by ordinary martial arts. The strategy and the way of marching are now the time to use troops, and there are plenty of soldiers in the northern border, so naturally they will not prevent them from returning to their original station.

Traveling all the way south, they soon got out of the port and took the waterway to the southeast navy, which was fighting the hardest.On the Ning family warship, Xie Yonglin was brought here early, but Zhu Dingbei did not allow their father and son to meet each other as soon as possible. This trip to the south is far away and the waterway will take ten days at the fastest, let them have their day first.And Uncle Ning also completely rubbed the treasure map on the back of Prince Xiongnu. He did not pretend to be someone else's hand, and no one knew the whereabouts of Prince Xiongnu except him. After meeting, the treasure map was presented to the two of them immediately.

At a cursory glance back then, I was shocked by the vast territory of the treasure map on the two children's backs. Looking at it carefully now, the agitation in my heart is only a lot more than it was then.

Holding his breath, Zhu Dingbei let out a belated breath, and said, "How did the Empress Dowager Zhao do it... Could it be that the old man has a prophet?"

Ning Heng didn't think his guess was ridiculous, but nodded and said: "The ability of the ancestors is unreasonable. Changsheng has read so many letters of the Ning family's businessmen, and he should know that the business education in the Ning family has been inherited from the Empress Dowager Zhao. The rules established for hundreds of years are not because we have no intention of innovating and breaking through, but because we cannot break through and we are too late."

There are too many things about Empress Dowager Zhao that cannot be explained by common sense. In the war-torn era, the common people were hungry and starved to death everywhere, and the status of businessmen was so low that even dogs and dogs were inferior.There are very few people in ordinary families who can read and write, and the government is under the control of powerful families.One of them is that they have accumulated wealth from generation to generation. More importantly, both merchants and farmers can only rely on them to make a living. Farmers have no land, merchants have no money, and they are just servants of wealthy families.

But the Empress Dowager Zhao has such courage. He and His Majesty the Emperor Taizu opened a school, allowing poor families to study, giving them a chance to rise to the top, and accepting them into the court.They established chambers of commerce, promoted the status of merchants to offset farmers, and formulated laws to limit commercial taxes to protect commercial affairs.Open official roads and rivers, communicate with major cities... all kinds of things, these wisdom are hard to come by.

Zhu Dingbei sighed, "I now know why the emperor and empress buried other treasure maps deep in the sea, but left this volume alone. Presumably, the original intention of the ancestors was to help Dajing expand its territory."

On the map, none of the marked minerals are the ambitions of the ancestors and the expectations of the younger generations.

It's just that for some reason, they didn't leave this volume of drawings to the royal family, but to the Ning family, or in other words, to Ning Shuo for safekeeping.Back then, the Ning family, regardless of their siblings and stepchildren, must have been very harmonious and friendly. The ancestors would never have imagined that, but the three generations have already fallen apart, creating the current situation.

"I just don't understand. If Zhen Feihe's ancestors got this treasure map, they shouldn't only occupy one Hun, and they wouldn't be limited to Dajing." Zhu Dingbei tapped the re-rolled treasure map. Baotu said, "Aheng, what do you think?"

"What the Empress Dowager Zhao left for future generations is too profound. In order to continue to pass on to each generation of the Ning family for so many years, each generation has a special person to learn skills from an early age, and they can only specialize in one skill. Unless they become teachers, they can't learn more." Ning Heng explained: "This rule has been handed down from the first generation of Ning family patriarchs, presumably the descendants of Ning Shuo's ancestors who escaped back then, although they held the treasure map in their hands, they didn't know what it was inside. "

Only then did Zhu Dingbei understand.If Ning Heng hadn't been there, he wouldn't have known what was inside when he got the treasure map.Not to mention the various strange graphic signs above that outsiders have never seen before, Dajing's mountains and rivers map has also been slowly drawn up in these hundreds of years, how can the geography of these mountains and rivers outside of Dajing be easily known?

From this point of view, this treasure map has been handed down for so many years, and it was not until Hu Erduo became the ruler of the Xiongnu that he visited the Xiongnu's geography and geomantic omen, and then matched it with the mountains and rivers on the treasure map, and discovered its mystery.

"Then we really have to thank the Ning family for this rule, otherwise, where would we still be?"

Zhu Dingbei sighed.

Ning Heng looked at him, then at the treasure map he was pointing at, and said in a low voice, "What about longevity, after getting this thing, do you want to realize the ambition of your ancestors?"

The Xiongnu were already in the pockets of Dajing and the Qiang people, and whoever wins in the end depends on their abilities.What about the Qiang people?Nanban countries, what about Dongyi?There are also sparsely populated wastelands in these unlisted lands where only savage tribes exist. Does he want it?

Zhu Dingbei stared at him, and wanted to ask him if he wanted it, but in the end he didn't ask, but simply replied: "I can't."

Can't, not wanting to.

Ning Heng smiled, and said, "Me too."

The man's ambition is everywhere, who doesn't have the desire to expand the territory?This treasure map is honey but also arsenic.

As far as the current situation is concerned, after the war, Dajing will not be able to fully recover within five or ten years.Even in the future, it is impossible for them to do so.Once this thing is presented to the people, it will definitely cause disputes in the world. Everyone wants to snatch it, but everyone is also at risk. The result is inevitable, that is endless war, no one can succeed, and those who suffer will only It is innocent people who will only kill themselves.

If they hid them for their own use, they would not be able to visit these places in their lifetime.So will it die without a disease or will it be left to future generations?

Even Zhu Dingbei dare not say that after obtaining this treasure, the descendants of the Zhu family will not have a different heart.At that time, it will be external and internal troubles.

Therefore, no matter how much they desire in their hearts, they cannot do so.

Just as Zhu Zhenliang said when he first heard that Dajing's treasure map was on Zhu Dingbei and Ning Heng's body, he didn't want to see it, and he didn't allow them to leave this treasure to anyone.Otherwise, they are the sinners of history.

The two reached a consensus and both had the same decision in their hearts.

But in the end, I'm still a little reconciled.There is no shortage of money, but no one thinks there is too much money. People are greedy. Even if they don't value foreign things, these mountains of gold and silver can't be moved in front of them, which is really disturbing.Ning Heng naturally knew the displeasure in his heart. For the Patriarch of the Ning family who had [-]% of the wealth in the world, he didn't treat these external objects like dirt, but never looked at them.But he knew that since he was a child, the person on his heart was a little money fanatic.

So he touched Zhu Dingbei's face, and said with a light smile: "When this matter is over, when we get married, we will go out and have a look. If we can't keep them in the bag, find some rare ones for him to live with." It’s okay to have a hand addiction.”

Zhu Dingbei couldn't help laughing, "What Chang Xinhou said is very much to my liking."

There was no other words for a night, and two days passed in a blink of an eye. The boat left the Northeast Sea and flew into the hinterland of the East China Sea. At this time, Zhen Feihe finally couldn't help it, and asked to see Xie Yonglin.
