When Lin Jue and his entourage arrived on the official road outside the Cuigu Valley of Xishan, a large group of chariots and horses were resting in place under the protection of thousands of soldiers of the Luoyan Army. The leading generals saw Lin Jue and the others coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Lin Jue didn't see the wives and concubines in the family here, and he expected that he was still in the valley, so when he asked, it was true, so everyone continued to wait in place, and he and Gao Muqing Baibing rode into the valley. I walked along the path on the northern hillside to the halfway point of the hillside, and saw a group of people standing solemnly on the flat ground of the hillside where Fang Dunru's grave was located, and some people were busy.

Lin Jue and the others galloped in, and when everyone in front of the grave heard the movement and looked back, they suddenly let out a cry of surprise.

"The husband is here! It's the husband who is here! The little county lord exclaimed in surprise.

Gao Muqing and Bai Bing also shouted coquettishly, and the women in front of the grave stumbled to greet the three sons and one daughter of the Lin family. Soon after, on the grassy slopes, the family was finally reunited.

"Husband, husband." The women cried out coquettishly.

"Yes, the husband has been reduced!" There is humanity.

"The spirit of the husband is more majestic than before." There is humanity.

"The husband really did it, and he laid down Bianliang City." There is humanity.

"Daddy, Daddy, Cher can write poetry. I'll read it back to you. The eldest lady Lin Xue said squeamishly.

"Daddy, Daddy, I will too." The eldest son, Lin Zhan, pulled the hem of Lin Jue's armor and shouted.

"Ahh Lin Yuan, the second son, who couldn't speak, made an unclear sound from his mouth.

"Wow, wow, wow." Green Dance's son, Lin Guangshang, was still in swaddling clothes, and was so frightened by the excitement of the adults that he cried.

Lin Jue couldn't reply with a mouth, and his eyes couldn't see the beautiful face of the beautiful wife and the delicate face of the delicate girl in front of him. The excited mouth grinned, and kept nodding to the wives and concubines. After holding it for a long time, I finally held back a sentence: "I want to kill you." ”

It didn't take too many words, just one sentence, and the women's eyes were red and tears flowed down. All the previous thoughts, worries, fears, and other emotions disappeared because of this sentence. Tears of joy flowed. In the past few months, it was the most torturous time for the top and bottom, Lin Jue led the army to the battle, and the continuous fierce battles, life and death were worrying. The Luoyan Valley was also attacked by tens of thousands of enemy troops, and the battle of Fangcheng Pass was actually a battle of ruin, and the defeat of the entire cottage was over. The wives and concubines of the Lin family had already reached a consensus that they would all commit suicide once they failed and would never become prisoners of the Jurchens. Later, the war was won in a big way, which was of course the best outcome. But the psychological impact on everyone is not small. Now that everything has passed, the family is finally reunited in the capital, and the feeling is even stronger. The reunion after the ordeal is more precious and joyful, which is in line with the saying: parting is for a better reunion.

Lin Jue comforted the wives and concubines, and several children hugged and kissed one by one. When I was rejoicing, I suddenly heard someone shouting in my ear: "Uncle, uncle, Xiaohu has given you a gift." ”

Lin Jue was startled, turned his head, and was greeted by a familiar young face. It was Lin Hu who stood aside, with tears in his eyes.

"Little Tiger!" Lin Jue shouted, put his arms around Xiaohu's shoulders, and laughed with joy. "Here you come

Huh? Have you recovered? ”

Although he was extremely happy, Lin Jue's eyes were also moist. Lin Hu escaped death, and it is really a blessing from God to be able to meet again today. Based on his situation at the time, Lin Jue later thought that it was a miracle that he survived after receiving a detailed report.

The corners of Lin Hu's mouth grinned. Lu Wu on the side hurriedly said: "Husband, be careful, Xiaohu has not fully recovered, and he is still under medicine." ”

Lin Jue hurriedly let go, frowned, and said, "What? Isn't it good yet? How does your body feel? ”

Lin Hu smiled: "Uncle, don't worry, in fact, it's basically fine." But it just needs to be recuperated. I couldn't have come to the capital this time, but I didn't want to stay alone in the valley of the wild goose. In a few days, everything will be fine. I've already missed the big event of fighting Lu Zhongtian, an old thief, with my uncle, and I'm about to beat the Jurchens, I don't want to miss it. ”

Lin Jue nodded and smiled: "Good boy, ambitious." You didn't teach me to be disappointed. In the battle of Fang Chengshan, you performed very well, and you dragged them down. The battle of Fangcheng Mountain was a turning point, and it was precisely because you dragged them that we were able to completely annihilate the 60,000 horses, and only then did the follow-up Jurchens take the initiative to evacuate, and we were able to capture Bianliang. Do you know that after that battle, the top and bottom praised you? I'm also a big long face. You take good care of your injuries, and then I can justifiably take you to fight the Jurchens. Good, good. ”

Lin Jue's praise made Lin Hu embarrassed, and he hurriedly said: "It's all taught by my uncle, that move is to block the way with fire, or is it a trick by Uncle Xue to set fire to intercept the Qingjiao bandits in the Bolangsha swamp." It's a pity that I didn't study well, and my uncle set fire to someone else, but he didn't hurt himself. But I burned myself. It's a shame. ”

Lin Jue laughed and said, "What is there to be ashamed of? The terrain of the two places is different, and the shape of the battle is different, so there are naturally deviations in the execution of the same tactic. It's good that you can think of blocking the official road with fire. In terms of results, the war was won, and that is the last word. The process has its own debatable, but it is due to lack of experience and ill-thought-out thinking. Over time, more experience and experience will be accumulated, and you will improve. ”

Lin Hu hurriedly said: "I know, uncle, Xiaohu must study seriously and think seriously." Not to mention, I seem to have a smarter brain after a fire, and I think about many things more and more clearly. ”

Lin Jue said: "It's not a fire, but your understanding after experiencing the Great War and life and death." This kind of life and death experience is the easiest way to make people mature, so you have the feeling of being empowered all the time. ”

The little county lord on the side smiled: "Okay, okay, your uncle and nephew are chatting endlessly, Aunt Fang and they are above, and we are repairing Mr. Fang's tomb, let's go up and talk first." ”

Lin Jue nodded hurriedly, turned his head to find Fang Huanqiu, who was standing on the side and looked at him stupidly, stretched out his hand to hold her hand and said, "Let's go, Huanqiu, let's go and worship Mr. ”

Fang Dunru's tomb is on the flat ground halfway up the mountainside, no one has come to pay tribute to it in the past few years, and the wind and rain have invaded the beasts and grabbed them extremely dilapidated. At the beginning, Guo Xu led his soldiers and horses to conduct a mountain attack exercise in Xishan, and almost dug up Fang Dunru's tomb. Fortunately, Guo Xu still has some conscience, knowing that if he does such a thing, he will lose his identity and lose points. So in the end it didn't happen.

A few years of ups and downs, the fence around the cemetery

The earthen walls were in ruins, surrounded by long grass and thorns. There are holes in the grave bags made by snakes and rats, and the tombstones are not visible in the long grass. Therefore, when Fang Huanqiu, Mrs. Fang and others came here to worship today, they naturally felt uncomfortable when they saw such a scene. So I deliberately stayed here for some repairs and rectifications, otherwise I would be really uneasy.

Lin Jue arrived in the cemetery, and after seeing Mrs. Fang, he began to join the people who repaired without saying a word. The soldiers worked together to rebuild the fence around the cemetery, cut away all the grass and thorns, and picked up stones around it and spread them on the ground. Naturally, the graves were also re-strengthened, and all the grass and weeds were removed, covered with new soil, and then covered with stones. The faded tombstone was repainted, and two pines and cypresses were dug up and planted on both sides of the tombstone. After the rectification, Fang Dunru's tomb really looked like it.

Finally, the snacks and drinks were placed in front of the grave, Lin Jue knelt down in front of the grave, and all the wives and concubines also knelt behind him to worship.

"Sir, I beg your pardon for not being able to come to the grave for several years. In the past few years, the world has changed greatly, the northerners have invaded, Lu thieves have stolen the country, and I have been in diplomatic difficulties in the big week, and the wind and rain have drifted away. The students never dared to forget the teachings of Mr., and put the Great Zhou Society as the priority, the Great Zhou Li people as the most important, and worked hard for the peace and prosperity of the world. So far, it has paid off. If Mr. Izumishita knows, I don't know if you can be satisfied with what the students do? There are still many things to be done in the next step, and the students have already made up their minds not to let Da Zhou repeat the mistakes of the past, so they may have to do something big that the husband does not approve of. But there is one thing, sir, rest assured, students will not lose your face, and students should also practice your belief in taking the world as your own responsibility and opening up peace for all eternity. Please sir wait and see. ”

"Sir...... Huanqiu has already married me, and I will also honor my wife and protect them well. Sir, rest assured. The writings of Mr. Wang's life have been sorted out by the students in the past few years, and when the world is peaceful, they will be published. The students will do it themselves. ”

Lin Jue said this in a low voice, poured a bowl of wine and sprinkled it on the tombstone, kowtowed three times and slowly got up. The wives and concubines also kowtowed and got up. Mrs. Fang was already in tears on the side.

"Husband, Lin Jue has avenged you, the old thief Lu Zhongtian is dead, Guo Xu is also dead, now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, the world will be peaceful soon, you should be very happy. Huanqiu and I are both very good now, Lin Jue takes good care of me, Huanqiu is also married to Lin Jue, and I may be able to bring your grandson to see you next year. You stay down there and don't lose your temper. In a few years, I will go down with you. If you miss us, you can talk about it in your dreams. You old thing, you haven't even entrusted us with a dream for the past few years, and you're as stubborn as when you were alive. Mrs. Fang whispered with tears in her eyes.

Fang Huanqiu stepped forward to help her mother and said softly: "Mother, don't say it, Daddy knows that Daddy won't disturb us." Let's go back, it's getting late. ”

Mrs. Fang wiped away her tears and nodded, and everyone cleaned up and left slowly. At this time, the spring sun is slanting to the west, the mountains are green, and the wind is warm and the sky is blue. From the hillside, the slopes on both sides are turquoise and wildflowers are flourishing. The plains outside the mountains are like blankets, the rivers are meandering like belts, and the scenery is really beautiful. But everyone was immersed in the mood of sighing and sadness, and they had no intention of appreciating it, so they only went out of the valley silently, got on the carriage and rode to the capital.
