Simulation becomes reality, have I ever looked down upon the eternity?

Chapter 115: The heart to end the troubled times, surrounded by enemies!
【After many years, you met your father again. 】

[He is already a real old man, almost 70 years old! ]

[Your eyes are still as courageous as when you went north.]

[When I first saw the two of you, my expression became excited but then slowly calmed down, and finally just turned into two names! ]

[“Shenzhou, Youan!”]

【Thousands of words are hidden in my heart.】

[All fathers seem to be like this! ]

【The depth of a father’s love is like a vast mountain, silent and unspoken. 】

[Lu Jiaxuan, the first commander of the Lu Family Army.]

[At the age of 20, he was already a famous child prodigy in the local area. He made rapid progress from the college examination to the provincial examination and finally the metropolitan examination, until his name was on the list of successful candidates.]

[At that time, he was in high school, with a red flower on his chest. Once he traveled to Kyoto, his sleeves were full of romance, and he also had great ambitions in his heart. ]

[To govern the country, to keep the people safe, and to seek the well-being of the people of the world! ]

【Things in this world are unpredictable! 】

[Emperor Huizong was humiliated, the northern border fell, the north marched south, the iron hoofs trampled on the people, and the people suffered greatly. ]

【The court was corrupt and powerless. Facing this chaotic world, Lu Jiaxuan resolutely gave up his official career, resigned, and joined the army. He vowed to trade his pen for a sword, spent all his family wealth, and resolutely headed north, vowing to turn the tide.】

[The Lu family army now has nothing but admiration for Lu Jiaxuan, the old Lu family commander.]

[You and Lu Yu dismount! ]

【"Father!"】

[We haven't seen each other for many years, but we are connected by blood and are extremely familiar with each other. 】

[Lu Jiaxuan was waiting for you two at the city gate, so you brothers can rest assured.]

[Although Lu Yu is already forty years old, he looks younger because of his successful training.]

【However! 】

[Father's eyes stayed on you more, noticing the few strands of gray in your hair and the wrinkles that crept up around your eyes.]

[A flash of astonishment flashed across those slightly weathered eyes, followed by a deep sigh.]

[“Boss, you are old too.”]

【While my father was speaking, he suddenly sighed.】

[The scene of you entering Hulao Pass alone seems like it was just yesterday.]

[You smiled and said: "Father, between heaven and earth, how can a person not grow old?"]

[Father's face is also full of frost! ]

[My father smiled and shook his head, saying: "I am old too. When I was on the march, I could eat eight pieces of bread and ten kilograms of mutton. Now, I can only eat two bowls of rice cooked by your mother because she forces me to do so."]

[“In the past, your uncle and I could fight for three days and three nights on the battlefield, and travel thousands of miles. We would sleep for a few days after returning to the tent. Now, we can’t fall asleep if there is a little noise at night.”]

【Lu Yu laughed and said: "Father has too many things to worry about!"】

[The father changed the subject and couldn't help but laugh, "Your mother always said that you two are not motivated and haven't given birth to a child yet, which makes your father worry."]

[You respond calmly: "No rush."]

[Lu Yu coughed lightly and echoed: "Brother, don't be in a hurry. I'm not in a hurry either."]

[Father changed the subject, knowing that your ambitions were not here.]

[A real man will never have trouble finding a wife when he travels between heaven and earth! ]

[The Lu family army behind him waited quietly, without any urgency. ]

[Father looked at you and suddenly said: "Shenzhou, in fact, I have always wanted to thank you for all these years, but as a father, I am used to it and can't open my mouth."]

[You stare at your father. You know what he is thinking.]

[Father slowly opens his mouth, reminiscing about the past: "Back then, when I formed the Lu Family Army, we had few soldiers and generals, and we were defeated in every battle."]

[“To be honest, at that time in front of Hulao Pass, I, your father, was ready to die. After Hulao Pass was breached, the north wind blew south, and the people of Daqing became fish on the chopping board.”]

[“A true man is born in troubled times. If he cannot restore the country, he should die on the battlefield to repay his country.”]

[Lu Jiaxuan's face was immersed in deep memories. He slowly said: "At that time, the whole situation seemed to be shrouded in a haze of despair. No matter whether it was soldiers or civilians, they could not see a glimmer of hope."]

[“I have fought in many battles for many years, but I have never felt as powerless as I did at that time. The iron hoof of the north wind is unstoppable. Their successive victories seem to have been destined for them. The great trend is about to overturn!”]

【"But!"】

[Lu Jiaxuan's eyes suddenly became firm and bright: "But! Since you appeared in Shenzhou, everything has begun to change. The offensive and defensive situation has changed. It only took you six years to change the world's situation."]

[“It only took you six years to create an invincible Lu family army before the world.”][“I now understand that there is no destiny in the world. We are just mediocre people without talent.”]

【That’s it! 】

[Father's gaze falls on you tenderly again, his eyes filled with hope and worry:]

[“Shenzhou, I know you are devoted to the Tao and your aspiration to seek immortality and Taoism. Your father knows this and respects it. But in a time of chaos, how easy is it for you to keep a peaceful place?]

[“Have you ever thought about the hardships involved?”]

[If you can't clean your own house, how can you clean the world? If the world is not at peace, how can your own house be at peace? ]

[Lu Yu stood aside and said: "The world is unpredictable, and Zhongnan Mountain is likely to become the target of public criticism."]

[You didn't respond immediately after hearing this, but turned around slowly, looking around at everyone.]

[Feng Haiping, Dou Gu, Huang Chong, Sui Cheng, some bowed their heads in deep thought, some had their eyes flickering, each with their own concerns, and all avoided your sight at the same time.]

[Only Jia Fu and the monk looked calm and at ease as they faced your scrutiny. Wherever you looked, they straightened their chests unconsciously.]

[You smile helplessly, these two really don’t know.]

[My uncle was in trouble this time, and my father was imprisoned. This was due to subtle probing by the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, as well as the instigation of my father's former subordinates, including the former generals of the Lu family army.]

【Will I lead you down from Mount Zhongnan? 】

[As for the real purpose of the Lu family army's march south this time, it is definitely not just to save his father in Kyoto. ]

【Lu Jiaxuan said: "I sometimes think about it."】

[“Although we were born in a peaceful and prosperous era, our father is probably just a county magistrate. Shenzhou, you and Youan are probably traveling around famous mountains and rivers, living as mountain dwellers.”]

[“If you get married, you can have children.”]

[“It is unfortunate for us to be born in a chaotic era. If the chaos can be turned into order, it will be a great blessing in misfortune.”]

[You looked at your father with a smile in your eyes and said jokingly, "Father, you talked a lot more today than usual."]

[Lu Jiaxuan smiled when he heard this and replied, "This is just a casual chat between father and son."]

[You suddenly asked, "I always thought that you, father, valued the relationship between ruler and subject more."]

[Lu Jiaxuan has been an official for many years and has always abided by his duties and has never crossed the line.]

[My father shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice: "If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world.' I have always kept this sentence in mind."]

[“The world belongs to everyone in the world; it is not the private property of one person.”]

[“Although I am a subject, I have the righteousness of my country and the world in my heart. I am not a pedantic person.”]

[“I, Lu Jiaxuan, can die for the people of the world, not for the Zhou family.”]

[He paused, looked into the distance with deep eyes, and continued: "The world is in chaos now. Qianyuan, Beifeng, Hanchu and other places have all had powerful rulers rise up and each governs their own country. This is a major change that has not happened in a thousand years."]

[“And my Daqing is divided into three parts. Although Zhou Zhen is the ruler, he is a mediocre person, but his ambition is as high as the sky.”]

[“In this chaotic era, it would be difficult for him to shoulder the heavy burden of the Three Capitals and Sixteen Prefectures alone.”]

【You nodded.】

[Zhou Zhen only had to deal with the Jiangnan family and the Empress Dowager, and he was already in a precarious situation. ]

[If Hexi and Qianyuan attack, I'm afraid we won't be able to resist. ]

[If Qian Yuan captured the prosperous capital in one fell swoop, not only would the treasury be filled, but he would also be able to look northward, thus forming a strategic advantage. ]

[By then, if they join forces with Bei Feng, the situation in the North will be in jeopardy. ]

[This is the key to Lu's army's march south.]

【at this time!】

[The troops of Zhou Xuan and Qian Yuan from Hexi have arrived and are approaching Kyoto. ]

[As long as Daqing is lost, Beifeng will take the opportunity to attack. ]

[Bei Feng pretended to ally with the Empress Dowager and sent troops to quell the rebellion. I'm afraid there are tens of thousands of troops waiting in Hebei.]

[The whole thread of the matter was brought up! ]

[All countries are aiming to make Jiangnan rich! 】

[We are really surrounded by enemies on all sides. I just don't know what decision the two countries of Han and Chu will make. ]

[The father bowed apologetically and said: "If it weren't for the crisis, I know that you are filial to your parents, and I would not have resorted to such a desperate measure."]

PS: It’s a bit rushed to make some changes!
