Chapter 540 The old soldier died without regrets, and the young dragon roared for nine days

Xu Xiao bent down, stretched out his strong arms, and helped the old soldier, blaming him again and again.

"We are all old people, why do we still need to perform this military salute?"

When Xu Zongjia heard Xu Yongguan's salute, tears instantly flowed out of his eyes. He stepped into the room, looked at Xu Xiao who was about to help his grandfather, and quickly stopped him.

"King Beiliang, no need, our ancestor has already left!"

Xu Xiao didn't believe it and looked at Xu Yongguan who was kneeling on one knee. He saw that he was smiling, the corners of his mouth were slightly drooped, his hands were frozen on his chest, motionless, his back was straight, and he didn't seem to be walking away.

Xu Xiao tremblingly put his fingers under Xu Yongguan's nostrils. As expected, he could no longer feel his breath and was actually gone.

There was a bit of sadness in Xu Xiao's eyes. This man who was known as the Three Great Demons of the Spring and Autumn Period, General Tu Dazhu, couldn't hide the sourness in his heart and his eyes were moist. He didn't expect that the first time he saw this old pawn, he would lead to his death. How could he repay this feeling of loyalty?

Xu Zongjia walked to his grandfather's body, slowly picked up the old man and placed him on the bed. He gently straightened the old man's body, but his right hand was still on his chest. Xu Zongjia did not put down the old man's right fist. It is the old man's last pride and his most proud identity. He is the last cavalryman of Yuguying and a member of the Beiliang Iron Cavalry. Xu Zongjia respects the old man's wishes.

Xu Xiao looked at the gentle and filial young man in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty, and apologized in a low voice.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't be here today!"

This is really unbelievable. Xu Manzi, who has always been unreasonable, would actually apologize to a young man. This will make the enemies of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Manchu emperors of the Liyang Dynasty see how surprised they will be.

"Actually, before you came, King Beiliang, I already knew that my ancestor's days were numbered and his life span was about to expire!"

There was sadness in the young man's voice, which was extremely low, but there was no resentment or surprise at all, and it was very calm.

"I prevented the King of Northern Liang from seeing my grandfather just to keep him obsessed. Even if he lives a few more days, he will eventually fail!"

Xu Zongjia shook his head, brought a copper basin, wetted his hand towel, and carefully wiped the old man's face with gentle and delicate movements.

"It's my fault, I shouldn't have come today!"

Xu Xiao felt even more guilty when he heard this. No wonder the young man was blocking the door and unwilling to let go. Only then did he realize Xu Zongjia's good intentions.

"My ancestor never enjoyed much happiness in his life. He spent his whole life fighting on the battlefield, and finally became a lame blind old man. Sometimes I felt sorry for him, but he didn't care. He regarded the King of Northern Liang as his idol and always wanted to Seeing you once, my grandfather got what he wanted today!"

Xu Zongjia looked at his grandfather who passed away with a smile on his face, and knew in his heart that he was right in not stubbornly blocking Xu Xiao from entering the house in the end. At least the old man left no regrets and left easily without any worries, which is better than leaving with regrets. Go well. At first, I thought it was too selfish and went against the wishes of the old man.

"Please forgive me!"

Xu Xiao didn't know what to say, so he comforted the young man with the same old words. After all, he was not a close person and would not say warm words.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if my grandfather leaves. He has been living on his last legs for more than ten years and has worked very hard. He just can't let go of my useless grandson. He always wants to wait until I grow up and be able to stand on my own before I can meet my parents! "

Xu Zongjia understands the old man's mentality very well during his lifetime, which is why he has been reluctant to leave. Only in this way can the old man care about him, live longer, and show more filial piety in front of him.

Xu Zongjia was chattering there and began to speak more words. This was a way for him to hide the sadness in his heart. Xu Xiao knew it very well, so he listened cooperatively and responded with a few words from time to time.

"Brother Xu, please ask me to find a place for you to study. I have already agreed to find a famous teacher for you. If you study hard in the future and seek a good future, you can live up to his expectations!"

Xu Xiao told Xu Yongguan's request during his lifetime. He sincerely hoped that the young man in front of him could have a bright future, study hard, defend his grandfather's reputation, and have a bright future.

"I know. In fact, I already knew my grandfather's thoughts a few years ago. He always wanted to find a famous teacher for me and let me go to school."

Xu Zongjia's expression was indifferent and he didn't care about Xu Xiao's good news.

Xu Zongjia wrung out the water from the handkerchief, placed it on the wall of the basin, and covered the old man with a quilt. Finally, he finished cleaning up the old man's appearance and allowed him to pass away cleanly.

Xu Zongjia then turned to look at Xu Xiao, his eyes were bright and his face was proud, and he suddenly shouted proudly.

"Who in the world is qualified enough to be my teacher!"

Xu Xiao's eyes sparkled, and he wiped his eyes in disbelief when he looked at Xu Zongjia, whose aura was completely different from before.

"My name is Zongjia, which has two meanings. The first is to pass on the incense of the Xu family and not forget my family's origin as a soldier. This is also my grandfather's wish."

"The second meaning is to take Heaven as the law, virtue as the conduct, Tao as the sect, and I am the leader in the world!"

Xu Zongjia's whole body was sharp and his momentum was overwhelming. Only now did he reveal his true colors. Everything before was his disguise. For Xu Yongguan's sake, he had to hide his power and bide his time.

At this time, Xu Zongjia released all the aura locked in his body, like a dragon soaring through the sky. The color of the sky and the earth suddenly changed. In the blue sky and white sun, dark clouds suddenly covered the sky, blocking out the light, and it started pouring rain, as if to see the old man off.

"As soon as I read this, the color of the world changed. You have reached the realm of Confucian Sage, or at least the strength of the Celestial Realm. No wonder you are so confident and dare to make such arrogant remarks. I am mistaken!"

Xu Xiao has experienced a lot in his life, and with the second-grade minor master's cultivation, he can naturally tell Xu Zongjia's current cultivation level at a glance.

Xu Xiao spent his life traveling through the Spring and Autumn Period and met countless heroes, but no one was as shocked as the young man in front of him. However, at such a young age, he had already become a Confucian sage. He was truly a born saint, with the seed of reading.

"I'm so happy that there are hidden dragons like you in Beiliang!"

Xu Xiao didn't have any scruples about Xu Zongjia's revealed strength. He knew that the young man in front of him would never hurt Beiliang. It was not because of how good he was, nor because of Xu Zongjia's lack of strength, but because he was lying quietly at this time. Xu Yongguan was on the bed. Xu Yongguan, who had been proud of being a cavalryman of Beiliang all his life, his grandson would never point his gun at Beiliang.

"You are able to achieve such a state of mind just by studying. It is really unparalleled in the world!"

Xu Xiao naturally knew that at the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a Confucian sage named Zhang Fuyao, who had all the luck of Confucianism and was invincible in the world. Unfortunately, no one could achieve the realm of Confucian sage since then, which is disappointing.

"That's not necessarily true. There are still heroes in the world, and I'm not the only one who can become a Confucian sage!"
