There were lightning and thunder, strong winds and heavy rain, and the earth was moistened by the sweet rain.

When the clouds cleared and the rain stopped, Zhang Xueming, who was no longer stressed, stood up and put on his clothes in high spirits. He wiped the clothes of the beautiful woman who was lying on the couch with tears in her eyes and gasping for breath, combed her hair and tied it into a bun, and was gentle, considerate and caring.

After Gong Yuanzheng recovered, he held his right hand and carefully injected gentle spiritual power into his meridians through the Laogong acupoint to circulate it and relieve his fatigue.

It was getting late, but Zhang Xueming did not urge him. Instead, she leaned in his arms and played with his slender fingers.

Gong Yuanzheng was not in a hurry to leave. He hugged her and quietly enjoyed this rare time alone as a couple.

After a while, Zhang Xueming's voice came through the soul mark: [Ayuan, send the children to Chenxi Sect and ask your brother to help raise them for a few years. Do you think it is feasible? ]

Gong Yuanzheng never rushes to reject Zhang Xueming's proposal.

After a moment of hesitation, he thought seriously and nodded: [The Eastern Expedition is imminent, you have to go to the front line to coordinate, I want to take this opportunity to take the graduates to practice. Grandfather has to stay in Changling to stabilize people's hearts, father and several uncles have to lead the troops, and the other old men can't sit still...

The two children are precocious and have been spoiled and pampered by their elders since birth. They are fearless, and have one clever idea after another, and they will not give up until they achieve their goals.

My mother and sisters-in-law can't take care of them, so I'd better send them to my brother to keep company with the other children of the Gong family, so that they can learn how to behave in society and have some respect in their hearts.

Zhang Xueming nodded with a smile: [Ayuan and I have the same idea. After this battle, Dayan will be unified and the world will be peaceful. The children don't have to rush to learn how to make a living. Their life has just begun. With adults like us holding up the sky, they can take their time.]

Don’t think she doesn’t know that her eldest daughter is behind many of her younger son’s actions.

Zhang Xueming is indeed very busy, but she sees Gong Yuanzheng's dedication to the children.

The children enjoy such efforts, but because they discover that their father is strong and strict at work, they think that their father is not good and resist and reject him.

Regardless of the reason, you put yourself in a weak position, empathize with the person who made the mistake, and do not distinguish between relatives and strangers... This tendency must be nipped in the bud.

Be a good person before doing things, and establish moral character before being a person.

Gong Shangjiao was able to raise Gong Yuanzheng so well, so raising two more children would be no problem for him.

Anyway, he had already handed over the business to the people he had trained, and stayed in Chenxi Sect every day to take care of the children, herding one sheep and letting two sheep go, so the three children had company.

[Then it is decided. I will discuss with my family tonight and send someone to send the children to Chenxi Sect the day after tomorrow.]

【it is good. 】

Gong Yuanzheng hugged Zhang Xueming tightly with affection, his chin gently rubbing the top of her head, but the corners of his mouth could not help but rise high, outlining a strange arc.

You're thinking of cheating him and stealing his wife before you've even fully grown all your hair?

Humph, it’s time to let them understand what it means to “steal a chicken and lose the rice” and what it means to “your father is still your father”.

……

Two days later in the morning, Zhang Xueming's second brother Zhang Xueting personally sent the twins to Chenxi Sect.

The twins, a boy and a girl, clung to the carriage window, with tears in their eyes, looking at Zhang Xueming with resentment, and cried out in unison: "Mom, I can't bear to leave you~"

Zhang Xueming went over, touched their heads, kissed their cheeks, and then ruthlessly pushed the two little heads back into the car.

She told Zhang Xueting, who was sitting in the car and looking at the two children with a gloating smile, "Second brother, keep an eye on them and don't let them get away. Everyone is very busy at this time of year. If they get lost, it will take a while for the family to send anyone to look for them."

"Mom~" the twins pretended to cry.

Zhang Xueming raised a finger and put it close to his lips: "Shh, stop making trouble." Then he said softly: "When you go to Chenxi Sect, you must respect your elders and get along well with your brothers and sisters."

The twins tried to struggle again, slowly opened their mouths, and prepared to use their heartbroken cries to awaken Zhang Xueming's conscience.

The conscienceless Zhang Xueming had long been taught the wrong way by the Zhang family. He gave the two children a hint of murderous intent, interrupted their spellcasting, and continued slowly, "Observe carefully and learn seriously. When I come to pick you up, you can cry properly... At least, don't cry the same way every time. Your expressions are so rigid that I doubt if my second brother taught you specifically."

The twins, whose hair stood on end, and Zhang Xueting froze at the same time when they heard this, and reflexively lowered their eyelids to hide the panic in their eyes.

Fortunately, Gong Yuanzheng called Zhang Xueming from behind. She turned around and did not notice that the two children in the car were not reacting properly.

When she turned around again, Zhang Xueting had already pulled the twins into his arms, pressed them against his chest, and argued with her as usual.

Gong Yuanzheng came forward and embraced her: "Okay, Zhaozhao, second brother and the others should go to the station. If we are late, we will miss the train."

Zhang Xueming then stepped back and watched the carriage slowly drive towards the south gate. The two children's heads popped out of the window again, their eyes red, "Mom, Dad, you have to come and pick us up soon."

"You must be good and listen to the adults. Don't run around and don't go to dangerous places. Do you remember?" Gong Yuanzheng breathed proudly.

That's right. It will only benefit their lives if they realize early that the world does not revolve around them and understand the important truth that "Mom only belongs to Daddy".

Zhang Xueming had been so tough just now, but now his eyes were moist. He waved goodbye and did not forget to support Gong Yuanzheng: "Do you remember what your father said?"

"Remember!" the two children responded loudly.

After watching the carriage go away and disappear from sight, Zhang Xueming turned around and got into the carriage amid Gong Yuanzheng's consolation.

Little did they know that in the car over there, an adult and two children, each holding a handkerchief, were wiping the cold sweat from their foreheads and backs of their necks due to fear.

It was a close call, I almost got exposed.

……

Time flies by, the sun and the moon pass by.

Three years later, on Dayan’s map, the imperial capital was as small as a bean, and the rest were all in the northern border.

After the destruction of Wa Island, all the surrounding small countries were changed into provinces and became an integral part of Dayan's territory.

Dayan's science and technology and economy entered a period of rapid development.

Five years later, a prosperous era arrived, the population increased rapidly, schools were built, and education became popular.

The "Yanhuang Body Tempering Exercises" and Zhang's Boxing, which were created by Zhang Xueming by combining the strengths of various martial arts, have become compulsory courses for the new generation of Dayan from elementary school to university.

The emperor moved the capital to Changling and guarded the country as an emperor. The cabinet was established, the Zhang family took over the cabinet, and the emperor of the Zhao family officially became a synonym for a mascot.

From then on, the North Border became another name for Dayan.

Five years later, Dayan, with its powerful army, marched towards the fertile land in the distance, and started the fifteen-year-long battle of "The Eight Wildernesses and Six Directions are All in the Northern Border".

In the year when Zhang Xueming and Gong Yuanzheng came to know the destiny, the sun shone on the land of the northern border. The red flag with a black dragon of the northern border army once flew all over the world.

Human beings began to look up at the starry sky and down at the ocean.

The Zhang family came up with a prescription for "growth of all things", which increased human lifespan to the limit: ordinary people live to 120 years old, ordinary warriors live to 150 years old, and master-level warriors live to 200 years old.

The service life of talents has been greatly extended, and the Zhang family's ageless appearance is no longer a topic of conversation.

The happy older generation of the Zhang family started to prepare for retirement, planning to travel around the world before embarking on the next journey. Once the aircraft and submarines were built, they would accept re-employment and return to their posts.

The cold-blooded and ruthless Zhang Xueming single-handedly suppressed the old men and women of the Zhang family, all of whom were masters in their own right, and threw them all into university to be beaten in mathematics, physics and chemistry.

The ones who taught them were their lovely great-grandchildren, and their classmates were their great-great-grandchildren.

Zhang family elders: The smile gradually disappears.jpg

The new era does not need to kill talented people, but needs talents in mathematics, physics and chemistry.

The Zhang family is naturally more rational than emotional, so it would be a pity if they didn't learn math, physics and chemistry.

But Zhang Xueming and Gong Yuanzheng...

"Ayuan, it's been thirty years since we last traveled together, right?" Zhang Xueming asked in a low voice, looking at his other half, whose expression had not changed but whose temperament was as steady as a mountain.

Gong Yuanzheng's spirits perked up, and he looked forward to it: "Yes, we haven't had that since we got married. We rarely have time to spend alone together."

Zhang Xueming looked into those eyes, which were as clear and sincere as before, and stretched out his right hand.

He lowered his head meekly and rubbed it against her palm.

Zhang Xueming touched his head, pinched his earlobe, and kissed his face, watching him smile, bright and beautiful, still the spirited young man she always was.

"Then let's go traveling."

"when are we leaving?"

"Now."

"Work?"

"I submitted a report a month in advance. For both of us... Don't tell me you didn't notice that your workload has dropped drastically this month."

"Hey, didn't I cooperate with you to perform a surprise?"

Zhang Xueming opened the door of the cloakroom, climbed up the ladder, and took out two backpacks from the cabinet high up.

The two of them changed into windbreakers and sweatpants, and tied their hair into the kind of bun that Gong Yuanzheng often wore when he was still a teenager, with many small braids and small bells hanging on the braids.

Two people carried backpacks, held hands, their hearts leaped with joy and their steps were brisk.

The sweet sound of the little bells accompanied them as they went.

It will accompany them till the end of their lives.
