Diao Xie's face was blue and white for a while, and finally, he waved his hand hatefully: "Let's go!" As he spoke, he turned and struck his horse and walked away.

The guards all turned around in unison, stepped on the military steps, and retreated with Diao Xie, but many people looked back at Liu Yu while walking, with a look of reluctance in their eyes.

Liu Yi gave a military salute to Liu Yu on the horse, and also left, Liu Yu pressed his hand to his chest and gave a military salute, for a long time, until their figures disappeared at the bend of the official road, and then slowly put down.

Liu Daogui stepped forward and smiled at Liu Yu: "Big brother, where have you been all these years?" Why didn't you even report a letter, you want us to die. ”

Liu Yu nodded: "It's hard to say, go back and talk slowly." By the way, what does this Diao Xie want to do today? Isn't it true that we here in Jingkou have never been taxed on the families of officials and soldiers, this is the law of the country. ”

Liu Daogui sighed: "The eldest brother has not been in Dajin for all these years, and he doesn't understand the new law, that is, a few months ago, after the death of Lord Xianggong, the imperial court has a new rule, saying that the military exploits of three years ago are not counted, and only those who have been beheaded and knighted within three years can be exempt from tax." ”

Liu Yu's brows furrowed: "So, the military exploits of our Beifu Army officers and soldiers in the Battle of Weishui and the Battle of Yecheng a few years ago are not counted?" ”

Liu Daogui shook his head: "It's the Battle of Weishui because it's outdated, and the Battle of Yecheng is within three years, but it's a defeat, and the court says that a defeat is not considered a military merit, and only a basic pension is given." ”

Liu Yu's eyes widened, and his fists clenched together: "What? Our soldiers fought bloody battles and forgot to die, just because they lost, and even military merits were not counted? ”

Liu Daogui sighed: "The Diao brothers said that this battle is because the soldiers grabbed things and lost, anyway, they have robbed enough, it would be good if the country didn't want to go back, and they still want rewards and tax exemptions, that's a dream!" ”

Liu Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Could it be that no one has risen up to lead the brothers to fight?" Our Jingkou men have always been iron-clad, when have we ever bullied people like this? What about Liu Yingyang? And what about the other generals? What are they doing?! ”

Liu Daogui shook his head: "After Liu Yingyang was defeated, he was held accountable and exempted from being a concubine, most of the other generals are like this, and the best general Sun Wuzhong is also demoted and retained in the army, so naturally he can't say anything, only Liu Yi and Liu Xile ............"

Liu Yu sighed: "I saw it, he was originally a high-minded and arrogant person, but now he is following Diao Xie's side, although I heard the news on the grassland, but if I didn't see it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it at all." ”

Liu Daogui said hatefully: "Now King Huiji and Wang Guobao have become Shangshu's servants left and right, monopolizing power, even Xuan Shuai has passed away, the Xie family is now no one in the court as an official, Xie Yan is mourning for his father, closed doors, Beifu Army, has become an orphan that no one wants, I heard other big brothers say, the defeat of Yecheng, Liu Yi has a great responsibility, probably because he wants to get rid of the crime, he took refuge in the Diao family, after all, now the Diao brothers, but the red people of the King of Huiji." ”

Liu Yu nodded: "But Liu Yi is like this, the Beifu brothers who followed the Diao family brothers to suppress Jingkou, aren't they afraid of chilling the hearts of the brothers?" ”

Liu Daogui sighed: "Yes, originally Brother Tan and Brother Wei took the lead and were going to go to Beijing to ask for their lives, and they also found Liu Muzhi to write a pleading, ready to ask Wang Zhenjun to send it, but Liu Yi said that we are gathering people to make trouble, and there will be no good results, so we will be pressed down vigorously, and as a result, the other big brothers were so angry that they went to Liu Jingxuan, who was still in the army, and said that they were going to Yecheng to assassinate Murong Chui and avenge you. Later, Liu Jing announced that he was on leave and left, and there was no follow-up to this matter, and the big brothers who could take the lead simply moved back to the army to train recruits. ”

Liu Yu said: "This time I was in a hurry to come back to see Wang Zhenjun, I didn't go back to the barracks, and I missed the reunion with my brothers, but I think I will meet them soon." Let's go, let's go home first, mother and second brother, it's okay. ”

Liu Daogui sighed: "Big brother, I didn't say you, you will never return, for ten years, my mother looks forward to you every day, tears at night, and my eyes are about to cry blind." ”

Liu Yu's eyes glistened with tears: "Loyalty and filial piety can't be both, it's me who is sorry for him, go, the rules, now let's go back and kowtow to my mother!" ”

Moments later, Liu Yu's home.

Compared with ten years ago, this family house, a lot of style, the original earthen house grass fence, into a tile house wooden fence, the place is also a lot more spacious, thanks to Liu Yu in the previous battles of the meritorious reward, Liu Yu's home is much more generous than before, even in the general some family property in this Jingkou, it is also a well-off family.

Liu Yu's stepmother, Xiao Wenshou, wearing a silk dress, with tears in her eyes, looked at Liu Yu who was kneeling and kowtowing in front of her, and kept saying: "Slave, my slave, you are finally back." ”

Liu Yu finished kowtowing to the last head, tears gleamed in his eyes, looking at Xiao Wenshou, his voice was choked: "Mother, the child is not filial, after a long time, he has returned so far, and he has kowtowed to your old man." ”

Xiao Wenshou nodded excitedly, pointed to Liu Daolian and Liu Daogui, who were standing on the side, and said in a loud voice: "Second, third, your eldest brother is back, from now on, your brothers must work together and never be separated." ”

Liu Daolian is already a young man in his twenties, but he is still the same as when he was a child, dragging his nose and smiling: "Big brother, here, don't leave when you come." ”

Liu Yu stood up with a smile, took out a handkerchief, and wiped his snot like when he was a child: "Don't go, don't go." ”

Liu Daogui glanced at Xiao Wenshou, and stepped forward to support Liu Daolian: "Second brother, the eldest brother has just come back, let's go and set a table for him, and let the mother and the eldest brother talk for a while." ”

Liu Yu smiled slightly, he knew that this was the third brother who had left him a space to speak.

When Liu Daolian and Liu Daogui left, Liu Yu's expression became sad and sighed: "The illness that the second brother fell from when he was a child, is there no rule of law?" ”

Xiao Wenshou's eyes were full of tears: "It's all my fault, I didn't manage this family well, I didn't let the second child eat enough milk when I was a child, so it will be like this, I, I'm sorry for the second child." ”

Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "I will definitely look for famous doctors in my life and cure my second brother." ”

Xiao Wenshou sighed: "Jinnu, where have you been all these years, some people say that you have treasoned against the enemy, what is going on?" Now it's just our mother and son, and in front of your father's spiritual position, you can't tell lies. ”

Liu Yu stood up, pointed to the sky, and said loudly: "Liu Yu, a descendant of the Liu family, swears to the heroic spirit of the ancestors here, the child has never betrayed the enemy and surrendered to the enemy. ”
