I Can Control My Ancestors-Chapter 324 - 20: Gu Clan Granted Surname, Virtue Matching Heaven and Earth
To live a stable life.
Even if life is not particularly good, it is still a difficult thing for people of this era.
This change appeared quietly.
Even they themselves did not realize it, and facing Gu Ye’s departure, a hint of panic arose in their hearts.
——This is already the embryo of faith.
Especially seeing Wen Yang, who was like a god of death to them, crying so miserably.
Many people were also affected, shedding tears at this moment of parting.
But farewell cannot be altered.
The footsteps of the Gu Clan cannot always stop in one place.
From the beginning in Kyushu to the present Barbarians, the Gu Clan has always had to move forward.
Gu Ye told Wen Yang many things, entrusting him with certain important tasks.
Gu Yi did not interfere, and only after Gu Ye finished speaking did he pat Wen Yang on the shoulder: "Ah Yang, don’t let me down."
A light sentence with boundless expectations.
"Rest assured, Grand General!"
Wen Yang, with tears all over his face, knelt down directly without hesitation: "I will definitely protect the Northern Border."
"No matter who dares to disrupt the governance of the Northern Border, I will definitely execute them with a thousand cuts!"
This was his promise to Gu Ye.
And also a threat to those with hidden ill-intentions.
He hadn’t wielded a spear for a long time, but there was still a fierce aura about him!
Gu Yi nodded with satisfaction.
Looking at Wen Yang in front of him, and then at Du Yu, he cupped his hands to bid farewell to the two: "Farewell today, we shall meet again another day."
"In the past, when Marquis Huan and Marquis Dingyuan parted."
"Marquis Huan once said——"
"When we meet again upon ennoblement, let’s indulge in wine and long songs to recount the years of prosperity."
"Marquis Huan and Marquis Dingyuan never met again."
"So today I say——"
"Though we disperse like stars, each heading to the fields of Cangwu, yet the mountains and rivers remain, and the sun and moon do not change. When the black bird returns to the beams, we shall meet again in our hometown, share sweet spring, and recount fond words."
Gu Ye earnestly cupped his hands towards the two.
After speaking, he turned and left.
Although his eyes were slightly red, he had no hesitation.
Liu Chen wanted Gu Ye to return to Luoyang, but Gu Ye did not agree.
This kind of matter is about directly deciding and implementing it.
Why waste time?
But Gu Yi still summoned the ninth-generation of Gu Clan descendants who had successively been born, bringing them alongside him to teach them as he did with the previous Gu Clan disciples.
Indeed, the ninth generation of Gu Clan descendants had already been born.
But their qualities seemed somewhat disappointing.
Perhaps because the Gu Clan had prospered for so many generations, decline was inevitable.
Among the ninth-generation descendants, not to mention comparing with Gu Xi and Gu Chen.
Not even one could be compared to Gu Liang and Gu Ye.
In this regard, Gu Yi was somewhat helpless.
Though he currently had some achievement points, which might be used for a draw to perhaps acquire tools to improve attributes.
But after hesitating for a moment, Gu Yi suppressed this thought.
A family lasting forever...
Is destined to experience ups and downs.
Even if he still had achievement points currently, ensuring talent in every generation seemed somewhat unrealistic.
Moreover, as he’s still alive... why be in such a hurry?
Passing on the faith of the entire clan is the most important task at present. .....
....
Clouds open over the great mountain.
As a tall mountain in the north of Jiaozhou State, it is also a mountain range connecting the Great Han and the surrounding Barbarians.
For the Barbarians of Shanyue——
Except for the Dan Yang Barbarians designated by Gu Chen back then, the remaining Barbarians inherited the "indirect rule policy" established in the past.
Various Barbarians maintained high autonomy.
This is also related to the current environment, as the climate and environment of the Shanyue region are indeed unimaginable challenges for the Han people.
Compared to his time in Luoyang, Gu Han no longer carried the demeanor of a noble prince.
His skin was tanned, and he appeared much more resolute.
The team of nearly a thousand that left Luoyang now had only over three hundred left.
The hardships of this journey were difficult to express in words; the entire process was a double torment of will and body.
It was fortunate that these people were specially chosen by Gu Yi.
They possessed absolute loyalty to the Gu Clan, ensuring Gu Han could steadily arrive at this day.
Sitting on the ground.
Gu Han disregarded any decorum, panting heavily and tearing open his clothes in the heat.
"Young Master....."
"Further ahead is the Yi people’s settlement... if we proceed directly, it might cause suspicion."
A soldier beside him held a map and spoke to Gu Han about the habits of the Yi people.
Gu Han listened carefully, but in the end, he shook his head: "As we serve as Han’s officials, what is there to fear within our Han territory?"
He absolutely could not concede.
The purpose of this journey was to propagate Han authority and lay the foundation for future expansion.
If concessions were made before even meeting,
wouldn’t it belittle the Great Han and belittle the Gu Clan?
Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone immediately became solemn, and they nodded in agreement.
They rested for a day.
The following day——
They continued along the mountain path.
The ancient trees towered, and the interlacing branches and leaves blocked most of the sunlight, making the mountain path appear especially dim.
The coarse trunks were covered with moss, and the ground was thickly covered with fallen leaves, soft and slightly moist underfoot, emitting a slight "swoosh" sound.
Everyone was extremely vigilant.
Whether it was wild beasts or potential threats,
either could easily take the lives of all of them.
