My Heaven-Defying Spirit

"How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan?"

A loud voice was heard in a spacious hall. A middle-aged man in an official robe was speaking to the man sitting on a gorgeous chair in the hall with a submissive attitude.

On both sides of him there were people who looked just like him, all wearing the same clothes, but his clothes looked more dazzling, but of course they were not as dazzling as the man sitting on the gorgeous chair.

"Hey, Master Xuan, why do you say that? We live under the same roof, so why hurt the harmony? Besides, Master Ming is your majesty's uncle."

Beside this "Master Xuan", an old Confucian scholar with a cunning face and malicious eyes was staring at an old man standing on the other side of the hall with a slightly malicious look.

"Li Hongan, stop being sarcastic. Don't think that I can't find anything against you. If we were in the military camp, I would have cut you into pieces." Before the old scholar could finish his words, the old man opposite him started cursing as if no one was around.

Upon seeing this, the old scholar quickly shut his mouth and looked at the man sitting on the gorgeous chair with a panicked expression.

"Okay, uncle, I know you've been fighting on the front lines for many years and your health is not good. You should go home and rest early." The man sitting in the hall said tiredly.

"Your Majesty, what did this old minister just mention..."

Seeing the man on the throne speak, Master Ming hurriedly asked.

Before Master Ming could finish, the tired-looking man on the chair said impatiently, "Let me think about the border affairs carefully."

After that, the man waved his hand and signaled everyone to leave.

Seeing this, the old man knew that it was useless to say more today, so he could only bow his head and leave the hall...

During the last years of the Dharma Ending Age, many forces emerged, which were complicated and intricate, but the forces in the world were mainly composed of four forces. The world in the east was called the "Da'an Dynasty", and this side was one of them. Although there was no one of the four major forces in the west, there were many dynasty tribes in the west that were ready to unite, and they had long coveted the land of the Da'an Dynasty. They were called "Western Barbarians".

"In recent years, the world has become increasingly unstable." Many "immortals" have come out of the mountains, claiming to save the world and the people, and have provoked wars between dynasties."

But most of them are actually indulging in pleasure, wine and delicious food all day long, and none of them have the appearance of immortals, which really makes people think that they are "immortals", but the magical powers they display are actually seen by people.

This is what everyone in the hall was discussing.

"What do you think we should do if the Western barbarians attack us?" At this moment, in a tavern located on both sides of the street in Da'an City, two porters were sitting on chairs and chatting.

"What are you afraid of? We have Master Ming guarding the border." The porter who was asked the question was drinking a little wine at the time and replied nonchalantly.

"But I heard that several "immortals" came from the Western Yi, and they all have powerful magic. When they invaded the Western Yi this time, I heard that those "immortals" were floating in the sky and could even summon sky fire, which made our army retreat step by step!"

Hearing this, the porter who was drinking stopped what he was doing and said helplessly: "What can I do? I will just get my wife and children out of the city safely. I have only one life left, so the worst that can happen is that I will fight to the death with those Western barbarians!"

.........

In Da'an City, in an ancient mansion, an old man was pacing back and forth in the courtyard. When he got closer, he saw that it was none other than Grand Tutor Ming who had been in the hall just now!

At this moment, Master Ming was anxious, and he kept muttering, "What are you hesitating about, Your Majesty? Why don't you send troops to help the border?"

At this time, an old woman came out of the house with a plate of food and came to the side of Master Ming. Seeing Master Ming's appearance, her face was full of heartache.

"Old man, eat something! You haven't been back for so long, so don't think about those bad things."

At this moment, Grand Tutor Ming's face was full of anxiety. He didn't listen to the old woman's words at all. Then, he suddenly seemed to understand something and muttered, "No, we can't delay it any longer. I'm going to the palace to find His Majesty now!"

After that, he left the mansion in a hurry, leaving the old woman alone.
