Chapter 117: One Old and One Young
Time flies extremely fast, and in the following years, Liu Yu's figure appeared only on the city wall of the fortress, in the barracks, and on the mountain slope behind the fortress. In the blink of an eye, more than two months have passed, and after the first heavy snowfall in mid-November, the Kordila Plateau has officially entered winter.
With the fluttering white snow, on the mountain slope behind Emal Fortress, Liu Yu, who had just circulated his Qi in his body for a cycle, felt the fluctuations of the surrounding air and the chill brought by the cold wind. He slowly opened his eyes and quietly appreciated the beautiful scenery before him. After cultivating to the fifth rank of Douzhang, this ordinary cold wind was something he could ignore.
"The armistice is finally coming." After a low and solemn voice, Liu Yu closed his eyes again to mobilize the aura in his body.
More than half a month later, a golden light with a few points of brilliant gold flashed by on a hillside behind the fortress, accompanied by a not insignificant fluctuation in the earth and fire elements within a hundred meters. Except for a few powerful beings who had been paying attention to that place, none of the defending soldiers in the fortress noticed this situation.
"A very diligent little guy." On a mountain top stood a young-looking Huang Jin Bimeng, clad in a black long robe. He gazed at the place where the golden light flashed, and a hint of an extremely subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Bu Ganing, did you feel it?" At the same time, on another mountain peak not far behind Liu Yu's back, an old Huang Jin Bimeng sitting cross-legged on the ground looked at the place where the golden light disappeared and asked casually.
"My grandson is incompetent and hasn't sensed anything." Next to Old Huang Jinbiao, a young Huang Jinbiao with broad shoulders and thick arms, who was also sitting cross-legged, immediately opened his eyes and lowered his head to answer.
"Haha, I forgot that you were lost in thought just now, how could you see anything? Moreover, the elemental fluctuations are not something that someone of your abilities can sense." Old Huang Jinbi suddenly came back to himself and realized that he had been a bit too careless with his thoughts. He gave an awkward smile before taking the initiative to explain.
"It was just Gaya's son who broke through the champion and made a bit of noise."
"Alexander! How could he be a Breakthrough Douluo, isn't he majoring in magic? And if you calculate it this way, doesn't his magical cultivation already have the strength of six stages?" Upon hearing Old Huang's words, Young Huang's eyes were filled with astonishment.
"Hmm, this little guy is quite diligent. After I arrived at the fort, I almost saw him come to the back of the mountain every day to cultivate. Moreover, his qualifications are special, but he's not bad at all. With such achievements, it's only natural." Old Jin looked at the mountain top in front of him, with a hint of approval in his eyes.
"The grandson will definitely work hard and won't let him surpass." When young Huang Jin said this, it didn't sound like a promise to his grandfather beside him, but rather an order to himself.
"Oh, you little scamp! I'm not dissatisfied with your cultivation efforts, on the contrary, you've been working very hard and I'm quite pleased with your current abilities. Now, what I hope is that aside from cultivating, you'll also take some time to learn about military tactics and strategy." Old Huang Jin stroked his grandson's head, speaking with a warm smile.
"Eh, Grandfather, as for matters of war and battle, I'll learn them slowly after becoming an officer in the army." Young Huang Jin asked with some puzzlement.
"Is that so, my child? If you only want to be a school lieutenant, then a deputy lieutenant, and then go back home to cultivate bitterly for several decades, break through the nine levels of Dou Zun and become an elder, then what you said isn't entirely wrong."
"Of course, your talent is the best in this generation of our family, and you've also been diligent in your cultivation. If only your luck was a bit better, it's possible that you could become an Executive Elder like me, or even one of the three great Elders of the Elder Council, just like your Grandfather." Old Huang Jin smiled faintly and asked back.
"No, of course not. I don't want to be an elder, what I want is to be a king, the king of our tribe, better than the Mongols' Khan." The young Huang Jinbi's eyes immediately showed a hint of discontent upon hearing his grandfather's words, he clenched his fists and said in a low voice.
"Alas, I know about your father's situation, which has left you very dissatisfied. Don't blame him for it. He didn't have the exceptional talent of Cai Wenji, yet he also reached the rank of Dou Huang in his early years. The military achievements he made as a school lieutenant are almost comparable to those of some lieutenants."
He said that in terms of talent, he is not inferior to Gaya and Cain. If he were the Golden Bimon instead of the Earth Bimon, after Your Majesty's abdication this time, he would have been fully qualified to compete for the position." The old Golden Bimon's eyes dimmed, and he lowered his head and said.
"Hmm! Grandpa you!" Young Huang Jinbao looked at the old Huang Jinbao in front of him with some surprise, seemingly not believing he would say such a thing.
"It's really unexpected! At first, I was very angry when your father accepted Gaia's invitation to become a high-ranking military advisor. But after thinking about it, it's not his fault either. He's so talented and if he had wasted his youth on endless hard work, he would have been miserable for the rest of his life."
"In the end, becoming an elder is not his ambition anyway. I shouldn't force him too much. It's better to let him join the army and show off his talents, let him do what he wants." Old Huang Jin said with a smile on his face again.
"Bu Ganing, you want to fight for the throne, thinking that His Majesty can support Luoyi, this land is better than being a governor of Meng. But your father could only be a lieutenant and was dismissed back home, isn't it unfair?"
"Of course, in terms of talent, military achievements and wisdom, Tollemache is superior to his father in every way. He can do everything that his father cannot, who can only stay at home idle. In the end, Gaius gave him a high-ranking but idle position as a military advisor, which he accepted with gratitude despite opposition from his family."
"What's fair about that? It's just because Ptolemy became a servant of the Willem family, because the Willem family produced a king." As he said this, the young Golden Bimon suddenly stood up from the ground, looking forward with a rather agitated expression.
"You're wrong, Ptolemy is absolutely a personal talent, and he's not much worse than your father. Besides, when he became the governor, most of the time it was an idle job." Old Huang Jin sat still in his original position, looking at the back of his grandson with a hint of explanation.
However, the young Huang Jinbi seemed unmoved and remained with his back to him.
"Alright, I'm not going to say that. Buganing, if you want to be a king, you must understand that just having martial skills is not enough. As the ruler of a country, especially our country which is stronger than Mongolia's, you also need to be able to command hundreds of thousands of troops and go to battle in all directions."
"Warfare is a matter of study, later you have time to chat with your father more, in this regard your opponent has already taken the lead." Old Huang Jin was also somewhat helpless about his grandson's performance and could only change the subject.
"Opponent, walking ahead of me? Grandfathers, whether it's Moro or Alexander, are not even a match for me now. As for those golden oldies from various families who are slightly older than me, there's no need to compare with them for the time being."
When he said that Moro and Alexander were no match for him, the young Golden Bam turned back with a confident look on his face.
"Why not you? I won't mention Moluo, he will probably become an elder in the future."
But Ka could be different, a few months ago he sent a war report to Gaya through the Flying Eagle in the army, do you know what was written? "Said Liu Yu's war report, Old Huang Jin looked more serious than Meng.
"Battle report? What qualifications does a soldier like him have to write a battle report for the Grand General, relying on his identity?" Upon hearing this news, Young Master Huang's face even showed a few hints of disdain.
"Bu Ganing, kneel down for me!" As soon as these words were spoken, Old Huang Jin's face darkened, and a low growl filled with surging energy shook the surrounding air.
"I was wrong, Grandfather." Young Huang Jin saw his grandfather's anger and hastily knelt before the old man.
"What's wrong with you?" Old Jin's face remained stern and unyielding as he continued to interrogate severely.
"It's clear that Young Master Huang doesn't even know where he went wrong, he only knelt down out of respect for his grandfather."
"You're wrong, you're too arrogant, too self-righteous. You think that just because you have some talent, you're superior to others? I'm telling you, the executive elders of the Council of Elders, when they were young, none of them had less talent than you. We are from the Mongolian Plateau, a vast and desolate highland, but the Empire of Fanord still refuses to relax its oppression on us, why?"
Because we are the strongest innate species on the mainland, second only to the Dragon Clan. You should remember that your innate talent is just ordinary compared to the history of the Mongolians, don't think you're anything special, I...
Lao Huangjin's anger seemed impossible to quell, and he continued to scold his grandson for a long time before finally stopping.
"Grandpa, I know I was wrong. I'll definitely reflect on my actions." The young Huang Jinbiao, who had been scolded by the elder, initially had a dissatisfied expression, but later seemed to have taken in many of his words and bowed his head as he spoke after Elder Huang Jinbiao finished reprimanding him.
"Alexander's battle report to Gaia was an analysis of the entire situation in the kingdom and the Empire of Fano. Before sending it out, my uncle Cain would usually review it first. That night he came to find me, recited the contents of the entire battle report to me, and then said one sentence."
"If this kid were born a few decades earlier and had the same cultivation as Dou Zun, he would absolutely be my match. In the future, he won't be any weaker than Gaiya and me."
"Bo Gan Ning, you've followed your uncle for two years, has he ever said that about you?" Old Huang Jin's anger dissipated a lot as he saw his grandson sincerely admitting his mistake.
"This, Uncle Hall has never boasted about me." When talking about his uncle Kayn, the young Huang Jin seemed to be very respectful of him, without any arrogance, and even more polite than when facing his own grandfather.
"It's enough that you know, in terms of natural talent, no matter how good you are, you can't compare to your uncle. And as for wisdom, I don't think I'm inferior to your uncle either. Remember this, and learn from your father and uncle about military strategy and battles. If you want to be the king of our clan, there's still much for you to learn."
"Understood, son."
