Chapter 652: Homesickness

After composing the last glory with the embers of life, Xue Rengui died on the Great Wall, which symbolizes desolation and majesty.

He pointed to the field from afar, and he did not fall until he died.

The bow he gave to Xue Chuyu before his death became a testimony of his unfulfilled ambition, and also showed one of his attitudes - he hoped that his son Xue Chuyu could carry on the past and forge ahead into the future and fulfill his unfulfilled wish!

Watching Xue Ne and Xue Chuyu brothers solemnly carry their father's body down the Great Wall, Xue Shao's heart was not only sad, but also moved and admired.

If a man can live as free and bold as Xue Rengui, his life will not be in vain!

……

When Xue Ne was cleaning up Xue Rengui's relics, he found a legacy he had left behind, and he did not leave any property and land in his life, except for a few good horses. If he dies, the two sons of Congrong can each choose one horse, and the rest will be given to the bravest cavalry in the Hebei army. In addition, before the new military commander of the imperial court took over the Hebei military, the news of his death could not be made public, let alone a funeral on the spot. If the court agrees, let the corpse return to Longmen's hometown for burial. A thin burial is sufficient, and there is no need to be extravagant.

Other than that, it's gone.

There was no earnest persuasion from no one who was about to die, and there was no grumbling about unpaid ambitions, and he didn't even leave a thorn method to completely heal Xue Chuyu.

Xue Shao thought to himself, Xue Rengui had long known how to completely cure Xue Chuyu and make Xue Chuyu become like him, breaking through the bottleneck and becoming a real peak martial artist. But he has been hiding it, he is like that, hoping that Xue Chuyu can unload his armor and return to the field to marry his own son and live an ordinary life. Perhaps at the last moment of his life, Xue Rengui was still in hesitation and contradiction.

He has always hoped that Xue Chuyu can stay away from the war, but he has the extravagant hope of "inheriting his father's business" in his heart.

The former is his love for Xue Chuyu as a father; The latter is more out of his attachment, love and responsibility to Datang!

……

According to Xue Rengui's will, the army blocked the news of Xue Rengui's death, and announced that because of some urgent matters, Xue Rengui temporarily went to Daizhou. Here in Yunzhou, Xue Ne is in charge of the overall situation for the time being.

At the same time, Xue Shao sent his henchmen to Chang'an to send a six-hundred-mile urgent military intelligence report to inform the imperial court of Xue Rengui's death. In this way, within four days, the imperial court would be able to learn the news. How to appoint another military commander to take charge of the military affairs of the Hebei border defense will surely have a result soon.

Xue Ne and Xue Chuyu brothers, one temporarily presided over the overall situation in the barracks on behalf of his deceased father, and the other hid his father's body at home and secretly cried and sacrificed. Xue Shao originally wanted to say goodbye and leave after Xue Chuyu's wedding, but he didn't think that Xue Rengui would die suddenly, so he had to temporarily change his plan and decided to stay here to help Xue Ne, and wait for a response from the court.

Of course, the Xue Ne brothers knew about Xue Shao's hard work. Xue Rengui had just died, and the Yunzhou army was gone. Although Xue Ne is Xue Rengui's eldest son and Daizhou Sima, after all, he is not qualified enough to speak lightly, and he is not enough to command the three armies for the time being. In the event of a war breaking out, someone needs to step up and take charge of the overall situation. And this burden is obviously something that only Xue Shao can bear.

Moreover, there is a big trouble nearby that is even more annoying than the "Turkic Border Offender" - Wu Chenghe!

He just took Xue Shao to give him a military intelligence piece and rushed to Chang'an to ask for a reward, and he definitely hasn't gone far yet. In case he learns that Xue Rengui is dead and there is a vacancy in the military power of the Yunzhou army, he doesn't know what kind of hateful actions he will take the opportunity to make. If he goes and returns, only Xue Shao can compete with him, so as to ensure that the heroic army left by Xue Rengui will not be poisoned by Wu Chenghe, a waste villain.

In this way, Xue Shao stayed in Yunzhou. Except for occasionally accompanying Xue Ne to the barracks to hang out, most of the time he accompanied Xue Chuyu and his wife to guard Xue Rengui's spirit.

Xue Rengui's body has undergone special embalming treatment and is preserved in a closed stone coffin, which can at least ensure that it will not decay before returning to his hometown for burial.

Xue Chuyu was very sad, but he never cried again except for the moment when Xue Rengui was gone. More often than not, his expression is full of pride, perseverance and solemnity. It was as if his father's death had made him complete a new transformation and ascension.

Late on the third day after Xue Rengui's death, Xue Shao accompanied Xue Chuyu to burn paper in front of the mourning hall, and he was the only one in the mourning hall.

"Second brother, I have an idea." Xue Chuyu said: "I want to do my best to complete the silver needle acupoint, right in front of my father's spirit!" ”

Xue Shaoluo frowned slightly, "Although I don't know much about acupuncture, I know that those eighteen acupuncture points are all fatal dead points. Even if it can really heal you, it will be a catastrophe that will take life and death. Your body is so weak now, and your spirit is not particularly full, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on. ”

"Don't worry, I can do it!" Xue Chuyu's eyes flashed with light, and he said it categorically.

Xue Shao took a deep breath, "Okay! - My two tribals Zhang Cheng and Wu Yuan are proficient in acupuncture, I'll let them help you! ”

"Thank you, second brother!"

Just do it, it's a common style between the two.

That night, Zhang Cheng and Wu Yuan gave Xue Chuyu a needle according to Xue Rengui's last words!

The two invited Xue Chuyu to a quiet secret room to avoid the wind and needles. In order not to distract them, Xue Shao did not stand by.

It took a full day and a night. Xue Shao stood outside Xue Chuyu's door like a door god and waited for a day and a night.

The door was finally opened.

Zhang Cheng walked out first, and when he raised his foot to cross the threshold, he stumbled and almost fell.

Xue Shao hurriedly supported him and asked eagerly, "How?" ”

"Miracle...... What a miracle! ”

"Incomprehensible, indescribable miracle!!"

……

After another day and night, Xue Chuyu took the strange-shaped giant bow left for him by his father and stood in front of the Father's Day Spirit.

Xue Shao was beside him, watching quietly.

"Second brother, this bow has never been pulled out in my life." Xue Chuyu, like his father, gazed at the bow affectionately and solemnly.

Xue Shao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I used to think that my arm strength was quite good. But that day, when the division went out of Yunzhou to attack Mo Si, I was curious to try this bow...... Then I felt like my arms were as weak as a baby! ”

"Second brother doesn't have to be presumptuous, I'm no better than you. The divine power of the father is rare in the world! "Xue Chuyu" Many years ago, my family used this bow to set the Tianshan Mountain with three arrows! ”

"Yukina?"

Xue Chuyu shook his head, "My father doesn't like vanity in his life, and he never cares about fame. This bow, without a name. ”

Xue Shao smiled slightly, "It can have no name, but it was born with a surname!" ”

"Second brother is right, it's the same as me, surnamed Xue!" Xue Chuyu also smiled, held the bow tightly and looked at it carefully, and said as if reciting a curse: "Xue Gong, Xue Gong!" - Since my father passed you on to me, please follow my heart and be full of anger!! ”

"Ho-"

With a loud shout, Xue Chuyu tried his best to pull Xue Gong for a full moon!

"Cow!!"

Xue Shao exclaimed, it's really awesome!!

Xue Chuyu slowly returned the bowstring to its original position, and there was no half joy in his expression, but it added more solemnity and solemnity. He held the bow in both hands and knelt respectfully before the spirit.

"Father, the unfilial son Chu Yu, officially inherit your bow and inherit your will!"

"The white-robed general of the Tang Dynasty will still gallop on the battlefield!"

"Your old man is in the spirit of heaven, please rest in peace!"

……

On the tenth day after Xue Rengui's death, an order finally came from the imperial court, appointing Xue Ne as the new governor of Yunzhou and the head of the Dingxiang Road march, and leading Xue Rengui's old troops to garrison Yunzhou to guard against the Turks. Due to the heavy responsibility of the military state, Xue Neding was temporarily exempted from worry, and the second, third and fourth sons of the Xue family were replaced by filial piety for their fathers. Xue Chuyu helped Xue Rengui's coffin to return to his hometown for burial, and the funeral was presided over by the imperial court, and the minister of civil and military affairs went to pay his respects.

In addition, Xue Shao was ordered to return to Beijing. The Shuofang army troops led by him to aid Hebei were handed over to the deputy general to return along the original road.

Receiving this order, Xue Shao and the others were somewhat strange. It is not surprising that Xue Ne is the new governor of Yunzhou. However, the imperial court did not appoint a new senior commander to take full charge of the military defense of the Hebei border. Shuozhou and Daizhou are still empty without people.

This is quite dangerous, quite unreasonable!

Furthermore, why did the imperial court explicitly recruit Xue Shao back?

"Could it be that something happened to the court?" There was speculation.

Guessing that they couldn't guess why they came, Xue Shao and the others still decided to do it according to the orders of the imperial court. Shuofang's army immediately set up camp, led by Tang Xiujing and Zhang Renyuan, and returned to Fengzhou along the same road. Xue Ne officially took over Shuai Yin, and his son inherited his father's business, and he rightfully became Xue Rengui's successor.

Xue Chuyu and his wife took more than 100 parts left by Xue Rengui, helped Xue Rengui's corpse to return to Longmen's hometown, and set off on the same day. Xue Shao also only brought his personal entourage, and set off to Chang'an at the same time as Xue Chuyu and others.

It was only at this time that the news of Xue Rengui's death was officially announced to the whole army.

For a time, the three armies wept, and the mountains and rivers were discolored.

When the people of Shuozhou, Daizhou, and Yunzhou, including many nearby prefectures and counties, heard the news, they all wept bitterly. On the way back to his hometown, Xue Chuyu helped the soul to return to his hometown, and the people knelt on the ground to cry, burn incense and worship, and continued for hundreds of miles day and night......

The way back to his hometown, so he walked very slowly. Xue Shao accompanied Xue Chuyu all the way and slowly walked towards Chang'an.

Xue Chuyu was a little unbearable, and persuaded Xue Shao to go home early to visit his wife, especially Xue Linyu, the son of the world who had not met since birth.

"There's no rush. I want to accompany my wife, hold my son, and have more opportunities. Xue Shao said, "Now, I must accompany you all the way!" ”

“…… Thank you, second brother! Xue Chuyu didn't know what to say.

In this way, Xue Shao accompanied Xue Rengui's coffin for a month, and when he arrived at Xue Rengui's hometown of Jiangzhou Longmen, he said goodbye to Xue Chuyu and galloped to Chang'an.

The closer he got to Chang'an, the more Xue Shao missed Princess Taiping and his son.

"What will it be like to see each other again?"

In addition to excitement and eagerness, Xue Shao actually had a sense of homesickness.

"Chang'an, I'm back!"
