My Heaven-Defying Spirit

Chapter 13: The Teacher of the Surname

In Da'an City, no one noticed that their Majesty had already passed away. They were all worried about what would happen next. Some wealthy and powerful people had already prepared to live in other dynasties. At least they still had money. As for those ordinary people who had no money and no power, they could only take up arms and fight to the end.

At this moment, Master Ming has returned to his residence, and the whole family is gathered in the hall.

"Father, take mother and sister and leave here quickly. I will lead the army in Da'an City to resist the Western Yi army." Seeing that the family's atmosphere was very heavy, Mingguang Jun spoke first.

"No!" When Ming Guangjun said this, Master Ming immediately denied it. Although no one spoke just now, Master Ming had thought a lot.

"Jun'er, take your mother and your sister to find your uncle." After thinking for a long time, Master Ming finally said this.

"Uncle?" Mingguang Jun was confused at this time. Uncle? Apart from being relatives to the current Emperor Da'an, their family had no other relatives. How could there be an uncle?

Even Yan'er, who was standing by, had a puzzled look on her face. However, Mrs. Ming, who had been silent for a long time, was thinking rapidly, as if she had thought of something. She was about to speak.

Master Ming at the side took out a letter and a map from his pocket and handed them to Ming Guangjun.

"Jun'er, take this map and go to the place marked on the map, and you will naturally know. As for this letter, it is related to Ming'er, but you have to wait until after his tenth birthday to open it." Master Ming's words were very earnest, as if he was deciding a matter of life and death.

Ming'er? Actually, that was the nickname of Mingguang Jun's son. His real name was Ming Huaishang. He was only eight years old. He was originally studying in a private school in Da'an City. However, due to the recent war, he followed his mother Huaibei Luo and left Da'an City and headed north. As for why he went to the poor land in the north, in fact, the north was not entirely poor. Only the northern region near Kunlun Snow Mountain was sparsely populated because of the severe weather.

In addition to the Kunlun Snow Mountain, there are many small dynasties in the north. The Huaibei Luo family of Mingguang Jun's mother's house is a big family in the Linglei Dynasty. They are quite powerful in the dynasty. Originally, Mingguang Jun wanted to go to his father-in-law.

After hearing what this matter had to do with his son, Ming Guangjun became even more confused. However, Master Ming did not intend to answer Ming Guangjun's question at this time. He just ordered several people to leave Da'an City as soon as possible, because he felt that the Western Yi army was about to arrive in Da'an City.

Ming Guangjun wanted to say something, but seeing his father was so determined, he knew that it was useless to say more. In fact, Master Ming was not a pedantic person, but there were still many old, weak and sick people in Da'an City. He couldn't bear to see them die under the Western Yi army, so he planned to wait until all the people in Da'an City were evacuated before leaving.

But there were too many old and weak people in Da'an City. Some young people even left their old mothers at home and fled for their lives. Although Tai Shi Ming had fought for many years, he still cared about the people, so he prepared to lead the army to defend Da'an City alone. At this time, some other city-states in the Da'an Dynasty also sent some troops to support Da'an, but the number of people was not too large, less than 10,000 in total, and they were all weak in military strength.

Master Ming was helpless about this move. The people in the Da'an Dynasty were in chaos. The emperor had disappeared. They had no choice but to hold on to the people under their command to avoid any unexpected events.

It was late at night and there was silence in Da'an City. If it had been in the past, it would have been very strange, but now almost all the original residents of Da'an City have left the city, so it seemed very deserted. At this time, a team appeared in the city and looked around to see if there were any remaining people.

"Report! There are still 5,000 people in the city who have not yet evacuated." At this time, a soldier came to Master Ming's horse.

Five thousand people? Although the number was not large, they were mostly old and weak, and it was not particularly convenient to evacuate them. Later, Master Ming sent thousands of militiamen to take these old and weak people to the east of Xiangdu City, which was a city near the eastern border and was under the jurisdiction of the general.

"Master! Something bad has happened!" Just as Master Ming was giving the order, a soldier in armor suddenly ran over.

"What's wrong?" Looking at the anxious soldier, Grand Tutor Ming asked him to report calmly. Now, apart from the Western Yi army, there seemed to be nothing to be afraid of. Could it be that the Western Yi army was really at the gates of the city?

"Teacher, no, it was the soldiers patrolling outside the city who found a carriage with a dead person in it?"

Hearing this, Master Ming became even more confused. Now that the war has come, it is not surprising that only one person died, but why is this soldier so panicked?

The soldier waved his hand, and Master Ming knew what he meant, so he lowered his body on the horse's back, and the soldier whispered a few words into Master Ming's ear.

"What!" Master Ming exclaimed in astonishment, as if he was about to jump off the horse in the next moment.

The body outside the city was naturally Emperor Da'an. At this moment, Master Ming's mind was working rapidly. He just heard from the soldiers that the emperor died in a very miserable way, with blood flowing from all seven orifices, as if he had committed suicide by taking poison.

After a moment of panic, Master Ming's eyes flashed with sadness, and he murmured, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"

After all, he watched his child grow up. He didn't expect that he would die in the wilderness. He couldn't help but feel sad, but after a moment, his eyes became serious again.

"Listen carefully, in this battle, your lives are not in your own hands, but in the hands of God! All I can do is to delay the Western Yi army as much as possible, so that the people behind us can have more time to evacuate, so you must be prepared to die!"

This speech was passionate and generous, and many militiamen who spoke up were full of enthusiasm. However, the "Divine Soldiers Battalion" under Master Ming were expressionless. They were all elite troops trained by Master Ming. As for them not having emotions? How could they not have emotions? It was just that when they became soldiers of the "Divine Soldiers Battalion", the only god in their hearts was Master Ming. They would always obey the orders of Master Ming, even if it meant death! This was why Emperor Da'an wanted to weaken Master Ming's power.
